"So No Confusion It Is a Cube"

The holy of holies, despite some claims, was a cube per 1 Ki 6:20 And the oracle in the forepart [was] twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in the height thereof: and he overlaid it with pure gold; and [so] covered the altar [which was of] cedar”.
 
and in Ezekiel's temple it is the same L + W and presumably H as well given he kept the first two measurements the same per Eze 41:4  “So he measured the length thereof, twenty cubits; and the breadth, twenty cubits, before the temple: and he said unto me, This [is] the most holy [place]”.
 
even in the tabernacle it was 10 cubits by 10 cubits by 10 cubits or a cube.
 
Given that the dwelling places on earth were and will be cubes I think it is quite reasonable to say the NJ, which is his “house” or more properly translated his “dwelling” ( John 14:2 In my Father's dwelling are many abodes: if [it were] not [so], I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.), must be a cube as well.
 

oikia = a) an inhabited edifice, a dwelling;

monē = 1) a staying, abiding, dwelling, abode;

edifice = a large or massive structure;

abode = the place where one abides : home

 

I would say this proves homes in the city that is his dwelling. the only real question is how many and how big??? and how many levels?? (given all the 12’s I would imagine the levels would be related to 12 as well most likely 12, 24, or 48).
