"And behold, I am coming quickly.
Blessed is he who heeds the words of the prophecy of this book."
Revelation 22:7 NASB
The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. The angel who talked with me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city, its gates and its walls. The city was laid out like a square, as long as it was wide. He measured the city with the rod and found it to be 12,000 stadia in length (about 1,400 miles or about 2,200 kilometers), and as wide and high as it is long. The angel measured the wall using human measurement, and it was 144 cubits (about 200 feet or about 65 meters) thick (or high). The wall was made of jasper, and the city of pure gold, as pure as glass.
