Revelation 21:15 (KJV)
Commentary on Revelation 21:15
The measuring rod of gold indicates the precision and value of New Jerusalem's dimensions. Measuring symbolizes God's ownership and sovereignty—He defines the city's extent and inhabitants. Gold represents purity and divine glory. The angel's measurement demonstrates that the new creation has definite, ordained form according to God's design. Reformed theology sees this as God's meticulous preparation of eternal dwelling for the elect. Unlike earthly cities with random growth, this city reflects perfect divine planning. Every measurement reveals intentional design.
