The Family Altar Audio Devotional - Day 93

The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the Lord. (Isaiah 65:25) 241 That great City setting there (now, see?), it will not…You think, “Fifteen hundred miles high?” That’s what the Bible said. Now, it will not be fifteen hundred miles right straight up like that. See? We have another geographic measure that all sides are equal; that’s a pyramid. See? 242 And the City will start probably about a sixty degree. And if it starts, fifteen hundred miles of that, just think how high that will be, but how long it’ll take to be there. You’ll hardly know you’re walking up the hill. For fifteen hundred miles high at a sixty degree, you’re just about like this. See? And the City’s all on this hill. And it’s just as high as it is long; it’s just as long as it is wide. The height, by the depth, by the breadth, it—it’s equal; all the walls are equal. A pyramid has four walls, and these four walls will be… 243 Now, the walls around the City will be—be two hundred and sixteen feet tall, hundred and forty-four cubits, and each one of them is a stone. Just think of that City, friends. Oh, my! What—what do we set here in this hot place? What do we do these things? Why do we drive like that? Why do we—why do we toil? It’s worth every inch of the way. Oh, the toils of the road will seem nothing, When I get to the end of the way. That’s right. And, oh, what a time that’ll be. 244 And there Jesus will set on the Throne. And out from under the Throne will flow the river of Life, trinkling down these four walls into little chasms, and into little branches, and come form up a river, and down through by the City. It’ll go right down through the streets like that, and on each side stands the trees of life that’ll bear—or change their fruit every—every thirty days. Oh, what a City. 245 And remember, God, the Creator, that created the heavens and earth, is in Glory right now preparing that City. Abraham looked for It. He left his home; he separated everything that was dear to him and looking for…Why? He was a prophet. And being a prophet, he was connected with the Spirit and part of the Spirit. And Something told him within him, “There is a City,” and he started looking for It. Said, “I’m a pilgrim, a stranger. I’m looking for a City whose Builder and Maker is God.” He knowed that City was somewhere. Oh, my! And I believe that right on the grounds where he looked for It, right there in Palestine, there’s where It’ll raise up, for It’s on Mount Zion. There’s where She’ll be. 246 Look where She’ll stretch out into the—into the sea, from sea to sea. Think of that fifteen hundred mile City setting out there on the mountains of the Lord. Oh, that’d be wonderful! 247 And the lion and the lamb shall lay down together. The lion will eat straw like the bullock. And the bear will be gentle, and the wolf will be tame. What a time it will be! Nothing shall hurt or destroy; everything will be in peace and love. There’ll be no more old age; there’ll be no more sickness, no more dying. 248 Folks, this is not some Santa Claus story, some mythical something, it’s written in the Word. And never has the Word failed. And to think of the very promise of…Not back in the Bible day, but in this day, the day that God—today. Not one iota has ever failed of His Word. Oh, I’m bound for that City. I love It, don’t you? 64-0823e - "Questions And Answers #2" Rev.
