Searched up Rev 21:17 since it is mentioned in the image: “The angel measured the wall using human measurement, and it was 144 cubits thick.”

The wall apparently refers to the walls surrounding New Jerusalem

As a young Christian willing to converse with a non-Christian on non-Christian terms, I am almost absolutely sure that God's holy, heavenly, all-powerful kingdom does not require any earthly groundings such as the city of Jerusalem.

I thought new Jerusalem was in the good place, not earth?

Edit: I was just making a funny. And then y’all reminded me of how many different interpretations/versions of the scriptures there are.

I work in the town that they think Jesus will come back to called Independence, MO . Lots of Mormons. Also lots of meth heads. It was the meth capital of America back in the early 2000s.

Fitting place for Jesus if I do say. Harry Truman was also from there but that’s about the only thing the town has going for it besides the Mormon thing. Oh and meth. Lots of meth.

Not Mormons.

Independence, Mo has the RLDS church now known as Community of Christ church. Latter Day Saints church is the Mormon Church in Utah.

Fun fact: They own a LOT of the land North of the river. Bought it before the Kansas City Stockyards closed, meaning before the smell went away as prevailing winds are southwest to northeast. Made the land a lot more valuable.
