Revelation 21:16

The city lay [rested stretched out] as a square, and its length was like its width. He measured the city with the measuring rod to 12,000 stadia [222 miles] – the length and width and height were equal.
[Gk. tetragonos literally means "four corners". In the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Hebrew texts, the word is used to describe square measurements, see e.g. Ex. 27:1. A stadia was the length of a running track, about 185 meters. In total, the city was 222 miles long, 222 miles wide, and also 222 miles high. The innermost room of the tabernacle and the temple, built after the heavenly model, was also a cube, see 1 Kings 6:20. See also Eph. 3:18.]
