The following treatise is an hypothetical consideration of certain issues which have come to light whilst seeking the source of those units of measurement as devised in ancient times, and deployed for land and other measurements. The system about to be looked at was used in Britain until the 1970s, when it was replaced by the metric system.
    The metric system is undoubtedly simpler and more convenient in use, and in this respects is the better of the two, unfortunately abandonment of the old  system may result in a further loss of that knowledge which was previously obliterated during the Dark Ages by the so called Christian church. The lore of days gone by is, for the greater part, an unknown quality; the philosophy of the ancients having developed along different lines from the science of today. Monuments constructed from stone are all that remain of an ancient lore. There exists stone works from the past which are beyond our comprehension, one such example being the vitrified forts to be found in parts of Scotland.

   Mensuration is an aspect of geometry; it is that part which treats of the measurement of lines, planes and solids. The following serves to illustrate the order underlying the old system of terrestrial measurement where the diameter of the Earth was taken as the standard of reference .

Diameter of Earth ..... 7,920 miles  /  1.5 = 5,280 leagues
         1 League ..... 7,920 feet   /  3   = 2,640 yards
        1 Furlong ..... 7,920 inches / 12   =   660 feet

                                       REM:  12 Furlongs = 1 League.
 

Diameter of Earth ..... 5,280 leagues x  1.5 = 7,920 miles
           1 Mile ..... 5,280 feet    /  3   = 1,760 yards
    2/3rd Furlong ..... 5,280 inches  / 12   =    440 feet

                    REM:   8 Furlongs  = 1 Mile

The reciprocal of 2/3 is 3/2 - that is 1 1/2, or, 1.5 in decimal.
 

   There is the question of which came first, miles or leagues, and why are they numerically connected by the 2/3 factor: the foot being common to both. Before decimalization, land surveyors used a system relating to the furlong; in which there were 40 poles, each of which contained 198 inches. The pole in turn, was made up of 25 links, each link being 7.92 inches in length.

1 Link    .... 7.92 inches : 7.92 x 2.54   = 20.1168 cm
1 Chain   .....  100 links : 100 x 20.1168 = 2,011.68 cm
1 Furlong ...... 10 chains : 2,011.68 x 10 = 20,116.8 cm

However, 7.92 inches divided by the transcendental ratio Pi (22/7) equals 2.52, a value very close to the conversion factor (2.54) between the inch and the centimetre.
The metre contains one hundred centimetres, and is quoted as being the ten millionth part of the length of a quadrant of the meridian line running through Paris. This was established in 1798, according to the techniques of that time, to be equivalent to 39.37 inches. Were the issue not so politically biased, at the time, a notional 40 inches may have been adopted, a value which would have eased conversion between the systems.
Since 100 centimetre is equivalent to 39.37 inches, then 1 centimetre equals 0.3937 inches, and thus there are 100 / 39.37 = 2.54 centimetres to an inch.
The metric system is a great deal easier to use in the scientific field, and probably also in engineering than was the old system; the old system did, however, have a beauty of  order that is not found in the metric system.
This system of measurements, as so far defined, would apply no matter what planet one was stationed on, the basic units would not however be of the same length.
 A mile would be longer on a planet of greater diameter than that of planet Earth, and shorter on a planet of a lesser diameter. The length of a mile would, therefore, be relative to the platform in question: but notice how these dimensions relate to God:

                 Diameter of Earth in Leagues

The number 1,764 does not lend itself to manipulation and it would therefore be more convenient were the number 1,760 taken as being a notional value.

 Now; by coincidence, accidental or otherwise, there are 1,760 yards in a Mile, a figure which, when multiplied by three, gives 5,280 which in turn is the diameter of the Earth in Leagues and the number
of feet in a mile. But the number 5,280 when divided by 10 brings the issue to the realm of time.
The number 528 when treated as a day number is the 12th of June, the 163rd day of the year
(528 - 365 = 163) in a common year.

   The assumption about to be made, for experimental purposes, is that the numerology relating to the Lunar diameter be based on the same lore as that pertaining to the Earth.
It is being suggested that the lore is universal.

        Proposed Earth Equivalent diameter of Moon

  Dia. of Earth = 7,920 mls : Dia.of Moon = 2,160 mls.

2,160 Earth mls = 7,920 Lunar miles

Therefore:
           1 Earth mile              = 3.666 Lunar mile
 and:
           0.2727 of an Earth mile   = 1.000 Lunar mile
              x
            5,280
            -----
            1,440 Earth feet         = 1.000 Lunar miles

   It is worth noting that the Earth equivalent, expressed in feet, of 1 Lunar mile is numerically equivalent to the diameter of the Moon expressed in leagues.

          Earth Equivalent diameter of Moon

Dia. of Earth = 5,280 lgs : Dia. of Moon = 1,440 lgs.

          1,440 Earth leagues   =   5,280 lunar leagues
Therefore:
              1 Earth league    =   3.666 lunar leagues
 and:
     0.2727 of an Earth league  =   1.000 lunar league
        x
      7,920
      -----
      2,160 Earth feet          =   1.000 lunar league
 

    Similarly, 1 Lunar league, expressed in Earth feet, is numerically equivalent to the Lunar diameter expressed in miles.

THE EARTH IS THE LORD’S

Section III, Part 4a – The Wonderful Numbers of Sacred Canon

By - Doug Krieger

(or Continue to Part 4b)

“The Earth is the LORD’S and the fulness thereof;

the world, and they that dwell therein” (Psalms 24:1 KJV).

The other seven planets of the Solar System were to receive initial inquiry in the Wonderful Numbers of Sacred Canon series; however, the Earth’s allure overwhelmed!  The surface of the Earth – and its atmosphere – is in turmoil and tumult … yet, beneath our feet is an assurance of unparalleled magnitude.  Terra firma describes a solid under-footing – but it is not static, it is altogether dynamic.  It is the extant of that dynamic which attracts us to explore the dimensions of
Earth’s core, mantle and crust.  Is there a reflection of the New Jerusalem to be found by peering into the depths of the Third Rock? 

The Blue Planet is made up of sundry parts – parts which in researching its geological makeup are scattered all over the place (in the literature) and, astonishingly enough, under continues discovery (e.g., the “Inner, Innermost Core” is 360 miles in diameter and was recently confirmed in 2008).  And, no, it’s not hollow.

If indeed, the Earth is the LORD’S, and the fulness thereof, as well as the world and all they who dwell therein – then, as our premise goes, is this quantifiable or better yet, can there be a resounding numeric confirmation of the same; otherwise, the statement is substantiated by faith alone – but faith does not stand in opposition to science…much to the chagrin, I hasten to add, to many a blind-sided academic dimwit!  Sadly, I should know…having been raised amongst some of the most half-witted numbskulls this side of heaven…but one thing I did secure from their ivory towers of intellectual balderdash is a peculiar penchant to derisively elaborate as Paul, the Apostle, did upon his generation of numskulls: “They are ambitious to be doctors of the Law (teachers of the Mosaic ritual), but they have no understanding either of the words and terms they use or of the subjects about which they make [such] dogmatic assertions” (I Timothy 1:7 Amplified Version).

With that generous expression of pomposity – let us delve into one of the most exciting series of numeric discoveries substantiating the Almighty’s claim to Earth and her fullness – a mini-two-part series.

Our little book of nearly 60 to 80 chapters was and is being written in a most disjointed fashion – this chapter would occur at the commencement of the three volume series; however, its appearance over half way through allows us ample background gained from our research to make much more accurate assessments and conclusions in that the Sacred Canon’s “system of number” – enhanced by Sacred Geometry – has and is leaving an indelible prejudice upon each and every aspect of Earth’s measurements and interior dimensions.

Again, allow me – for there is some concern – that Sacred Geometry has been so sorely abused by New Age Mysticism and Gnostic subterfuge that it is unredeemable and sadly beyond repair…like trying to redeem the use of Tarot Cards.  In a word:  Nonsense – “Cosmology” is in and of itself simply the study of origins, the universe – it’s what certain science does to cosmology which disturbs – and the same can be said of Sacred Geometry.

Obviously, if you are approaching Trigonometry (if I can be so audacious), without having mastered Geometry, this will appear (Earth’s subsurface) a bit foreign to you; however, I’ll try to backtrack sufficiently enough to make some immediate sense of what you’re viewing insofar as number and number sets from Sacred Canon and how they interpret Earth’s wondrous dimensions in proof of the Creator’s stamp thereon.

Earth’s Diameter – Our Starting Point

The earthly measurement of Earth’s Diameter is tricky business – we have equatorial measurements (given the bulge at the equator) and the polar circumference being wholly difference in their scope…guess what, we’re not living in a perfectly round world – but quite the sphere.  It may look perfectly round, but it isn’t.  Therefore, the diameter sliced straight through the center of the Earth at the equator is different than that of its polar measurement, just as is its circumference at the equator and the poles.

Through our study we have determined (and there will be links on many of these number sets) that the most reliable measurement of the Earth’s diameter is that of 7,920 Imperial Miles or 41,817,600 Imperial Feet or 501,811,200 Imperial Inches and is in furlongs/stadia the following:  41,817,600’/660’ (1 furlong = 660’) = 63,360 furlongs which in turn gives us one of the primary “Dimensions of Paradise” in digit sum as 6 + 3 + 3 + 6 = 18 which we have found to be the fractal/resemblance of the 12-edged perimeter of the New Jerusalem (i.e., 18,000 miles or 18 = 18 by dropping zero) – and MUCH MORE – for when you view 6…33…6 you see that reoccurring “unspeakable gift” for between Two Thieves (men on crosses for “6” is man’s number) is the Son of Man, 33, who at this age gave His Life a ransom for many – we simply cannot escape the indelible impression the Savior made upon the Earth, for: “The Earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof, the world, and all they that dwell therein.”  And, now, you know the merit of the “furlong” used in the measurement of the New Jerusalem…”12,000 furlongs” (Revelation 21:16).

The “Imperial System” or “Imperial Units” is a collection of English units bearing metrology as per:  1 mile = 8 furlongs = 1,760 yards (therefore, 1,760 yards * 3 = 5,280 feet (also known as the Statute Mile) = 1.609.344 km (Note:  If 8 furlongs = 1,760 yards, then 1 furlong = 1,760/8 = 220 yards * 3’ = 660 Feet).

The system actually has an ancient tradition but was ultimately codified in the Weights and Measures Act of 1824 (British Parliament) and later refined until 1959.  These units were introduced in the United Kingdom and throughout the British Empire/Commonwealth countries but excluded the then already independent United States.  Unfortunately, the British half-heartedly abandoned the Imperial System, while adopting the metric system of measurement; but the United States has rigidly maintained the fundamentals of the Imperial System throughout of metrology (Note:  John Michell led the anti-metrification movement in Britain in the 1970s and for good reason.)…wherein it is held in earnest by the common man who from time to time have academic warlocks attempting to steal their treasured measurement – but American stubbornness persists to this day!

Now, notice this – we use the term “Imperial Mile,” etc., to emphasize our utter distain for the inaccuracies of the metric system and the hoity-toity deference given on behalf of academics to a system of an ever-changing numeric monstrosity both ill-conceived and ill-advised. It’s getting more difficult each day to forgive the British for their half-hearted abandonment (because they still hang on to some of the Imperial System) of their once brilliant protection of this duodecimal arrangement (based upon “12”) exchanging it for the French alternative…thinking that somehow hundreds of years of mathematical genius could somehow be sacrificed for a mess of pottage…but they did just that!  What’s worse is this:  The hundreds of Neolithic sites scattered throughout the British Isles and Ireland clearly from our repeated research amplify the beauty and precision of the Imperial System and NOT that of the distortions of the metric system of measurement.  This indelible impression upon the UK should have been sufficient enough proof that its keeping as the standard of the day should have had greater merit – even the French and their Neolithic structures are attuned to it as we have seen at both the Crucuno Quadrilateral and the astounding sites at Carnac in Brittany.

Key Measurements of the New Jerusalem

The brevity – yet utterly profound – measurement given to the New Jerusalem is recorded in Revelation 21:16-17:

“The city is laid out as a square; its length is as great as its breadth.  And he measured the city with the reed:  twelve thousand furlongs.  Its length, breadth, and height are equal.  Then he measured its wall:  one hundred and forty-four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of an angel.”

That’s it!  Knowing these measurements and their extrapolations (i.e., of the New Jerusalem) is altogether critical in our understanding of the Earth – in particular, her interior measurements and ipso facto an indisputable confirmation of Divine Instrumentality associated thereto.

Based upon these number sets – and we have already determined that 1 furlong or “stadia” (a more ancient term) – has a value of 660 Imperial Feet (with one Imperial foot equal to 12 inches; therefore, the system is duodecimal to its core).  Therefore:

12,000 Furlongs * 660 Feet = 7,920,000 Feet/5,280’ = 1,500 Statute Miles

Foursquare Measurement/4 Edges:  7,920,000 Feet * 4 = 31,680,000’/5,280’ = 6,000 Statute Miles * 3 (12 Edges of the Cubed NJ) = 18,000 Miles

18,000 Miles * 5,280’ = 95,040,000 Feet

95,040,000 Feet is a “Fractal/Resemblance” to the 95,040,000 Mile Distance Between the Earth and the Sun at Apogee

Roman Pace/Imperial Yard:

7,920,000 Feet/3 Feet (Roman “Quick” Pace = 36”) = 2,640,000 R.P./Imperial Yds

2,640,000 Yards * 12 Edges of a Cube = 31,680,000 Linear Yards or “3168”

7,920,000 Feet/660’ (Furlong) = 12,000 Furlongs

7,920 Miles (Earth’s Diameter) * 5,280’ = 41,817,600 Linear Feet

41,817,600 Linear Feet/660’ (furlong) 63,360 Furlongs

Cubing the New Jerusalem:  

7,920,000’ * 12 (12 edges of a cube) = 95,040,000 Linear Feet

95,040,000 Linear Feet/660’ (1 furlong) = 144,000 Furlongs

“144” is the Wall of the New Jerusalem

The Wall of the New Jerusalem – Note, height, thickness, length, depth not given

144 Cubits

1 Cubit = 25.20” or 2.1 Feet

144 Cubits * 2.1 Feet = 302.4 Feet or 3,628.8 Inches

3,628.8 Inches / 36” (the Roman Pace or Imperial Yard) = 100.8 Yards

100.8 Yards = “18” (eliminating zero) = Fractal of the 18,000 Mile NJ 12-Edges

Note:  The 302.4’ is a Fractal of the Base Four-Square Perimeter of the

Great Pyramid of Giza @ 756’ * 4 = 3,024 Linear Feet or the 144 Cubit Measurement of the Wall of the New Jerusalem is 1/10th that of the GPG

Diagonal of the New Jerusalem

1,500 Miles by 1,500 Miles = Diagonal of:  2,120 Miles

2,120 Miles * 2 (Crisscrossed on 1 of 6 faces of a cube) = 4,240 Linear Miles

4,240 Linear Miles * 6 Faces of a Cube = 25,440 Linear Miles

25,440 Linear Miles * 5,280 Feet = 134,323,200 Linear Feet

134,323,200 Feet * 12” = 1,611,878,400 Linear Inches

1,611,878,400 Linear Inches / 36” = 44,774,400 Imperial Yards/Quick R.P.

Combining the Exterior Linear Measurements of Edges/Diagonals of the NJ

Edge:  1,500 Miles * 12 = 18,000 Miles

Diagonals:  2,120 Miles * 12 (Crisscrossed/6 faces) = 25,440 Miles

18,000 Miles + 25,440 Miles = 43,440 Miles

43,440 Miles * 5,280’ = 229,363,200 Feet

229,363,200 Feet * 12” = 2,752,358,400 Inches

2,752,358,400 Inches / 36” (Imperial Yard/Roman Pace) = 76,454,400 Yards

Square Feet (Area)

7,920,000’ * 7,920,000’ = or 792 * 792 (Eliminating Zero) =

627,264 sq. feet (62,726,400,000,000 sq. ft.)

Acres:  62,726,400,000,000/43,560 sq. ft. = 1,440,000,000 acres or “144”

12,000 Furlongs * 12,000 = 144 * 6 Faces = 864 = Fractal of the Sun’s Diameter

864,000 Miles Diameter of the Sun

1,440,000,000 acres * 6 = 8,640,000,000 Acres

In Miles Area:

1,500 Miles * 1,500 Miles = 2,250,000 sq. miles * 6 Faces of a Cube =

13,500,000 sq. miles

Cubic Measurements (Eliminating Zero)

792 * 792 * 792 = 496,793,088 Cubic Feet * 144 Cubic Inches in 1 Sq. Ft. =

71,538,204,672 Cubic Inches

In Miles:

15 * 15 * 15 = 3,375 Cubic Miles

These are the major measurements of the New Jerusalem when using the Imperial System of Measurement from whence the New Jerusalem is based.  The measurements are simply presented with minor highlights as to their significance –we will use their extrapolations, calculations to draw attention to their ramifications regarding the measurements of the Earth’s geological interior, as well as atmosphere.

Repeated appearance of such measurements as “15” and “18” and “12” and “144” are dominant throughout the New Jerusalem.  These number sets are augmented by “27” – “45” – “216” – “864” – and many of the other prominent New Jerusalem number sets such as 432, 54, 792, 528, etc. 

“Circumference” of the New Jerusalem

The final recognition of the New Jerusalem appears in the “squaring of the circle” or placing a circle, in this instance within the four-square of the New Jerusalem – making the edge of the NJ (7,920,000 Feet) to be the interior circle’s diameter.

In this respect which Pi (22/7) shall we use?  For Pi * the Diameter of any circle determines its circumference. 

In deference to Dr. John Michell who fought so deliberately to maintain the Imperial System of measurement and in keeping with his “New Jerusalem Pi” – we are pleased to use 3.1418181818∞ as Pi or 864/275 (Please Note:  “18” and its use in the New Jerusalem Pi).  (See:  Dimensions of Paradise, pp, 118-9)

7,920,000’ * 3.14181818∞ = 24,883,199.9856 or 24,883,200

24,883,200 is a Fractal of the 7,920 Miles * 3.14181818 =

24,883.2 Mile Circumference of the Earth or…

7,920 Miles (Earth Diameter) * 3.14181818∞ = 24,883.2 Mile Circumference

Please Note:  24,883.2 Miles * 6 (Faces of a Cube with Circles on Ea. Exterior) =

149,299.2 Miles (6 Circumferences) = Digit Sum: 

1 + 4 + 9 + 2 + 9 + 9 + 2 = 36

36 is a fractal of 360° in a Circle

24,883.2 Miles * 5,280’ = 131,383,296 Feet/660’ (1 Furlong) =

199,065.6 Furlongs = Digit Sum of “36” = 360° of a Circle

Therefore:  “36” is the Eternal God as a Circle – the Earth is the Lord’s

The Geological Strata of the Earth

We will find – without “cooking the numbers” and using the Imperial System of Measurement – that Earth’s geological strata utterly reflect the dominant Dimensions of Paradise to the uttermost!

Firstly, let us immediately notice that after compiling numerous research into what seemed to be the most scattered data on this subject known to common man – we have determined within a measured certainty that the Earth’s interior + her atmosphere is comprised of 9 separate strata; to wit:

1.     The Crust of the Earth

2.     The Moho – the Zone between the Earth’s Crust and its Mantle

3.     The Transition to the Upper Mantle

4.     The Upper Mantle or Asthenosphere

5.     The Lower Mantle

6.     The “D” Prime Prime Separating the Lower Mantle from the Outer Core

7.     The Outer Core

8.     The Inner Core

9.     The Innermost Core

Or, if you would – the three major segments can be described as:

1.     The Crust

2.     The Mantle

3.     The Core

Again, viewing the original graphic atop this chapter in our search for confirmation that “The Earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof” –

Indeed, finding these differentiations so definitively in view is no small thing – just try to allocate Earth’s strata in this manner and you will find NO such simplicity exists (or if it does, tell me) nor the profundity that such stratification conveys – a bit of that has to do with on-going research, such as the discovery of the Inner, Innermost Core of the Earth to be that of 360 Miles in Diameter.  

Indeed, could it be that since we’ve demoted Pluto to a “Dwarf Status” leaving us 8 planets in our Solar System – and with the discovery of this, if you would, NINTH layer of Earth’s interior to match in number our Solar System’s 8 + 1 (i.e., the original 8 layers of the Earth now joined to its Ninth Interior and most awesome Inner, Innermost Core or 8 + 1, as well) – could it be, then, that the coming of the Sun of Righteousness has signaled His appearance … the Arising of the Sun of Righteousness?

Please see several sites which attempt to quantify what we have compiled – not only does the research find itself generally all over the map but it is likewise confusing because so many come across incredibly authoritative – with disparate metrologies; however, by securing a “general overview” we have more than enough assurance that we are absolutely on track with these 9 significant differentiations (Please See:  Earth’s Structure – USGS, The Interior of the Earth – Earth’s Interior)

The mineral composition of Earth’s Strata is not of particular interest at this point; simply, although we will touch on this briefly, the overall dimensions which can be easily substantiated by numerous researchers and geologists, etc., is of critical import in our immediate research.

The difficulty has, in the main, to do with what is called the layers immediately under the Earth’s surface.  Here we’ve decided to include as among the nine layers (which now includes the Inner, Innermost Core) the Moho (i.e., Mohorovicic) Discontinuity – though it be razor thin; yet, it encompasses the entire Earth – and the “Transition Zone” immediately underneath the Moho which nigh appears to be a part of the Upper Mantel or the Asthenosphere. 

The question abides that this transition zone either separates between the Upper and Lower Mantel Zones or between the Moho Discontinuity and the Asthenosphere/Upper Mantel itself – we’ve opted to place it just beneath the Moho Discontinuity – notwithstanding, the Transition’s dimensions remain unaltered.,

The 9 Major Zones of Earth + Her Atmosphere

In summary – we find the following:

A.   Earth’s Atmosphere – 62 Miles Deep – up to the Kármán line above sea level.

1.     36 Miles Deep – Earth’s Crust (Includes Continental Crust of 36 Miles (average) and the 3.6 Mile Oceanic Crust) – This area is also a part of the 72 Mile Lithosphere (the area between the crust and the Transition Portion of the Upper Mantle) – this is the 36-Mile Portion of the Lithosphere – its Crust.

2.     1,800 Mile Deep Mantle (Includes part of the 72-Mile Lithosphere – i.e., the 1 Mile Moho or Mohorovicic Discontinuity or area between the Crust and the Mantle and the remaining 35-mile “Transition Zone” which is part of the Lithosphere or 1 mile + 35 miles = 36 miles); the 126-Mile Upper Mantle or Asthenosphere; the Lower Mantle of 1,512 miles (thick); and the “D” Prime Prime, Discontinuity (Gutenberg) with 126 Mile thickness (average)  – (Please view above graphic for clarity on the first four zones of the Earth:  (1)  Crust; (2)  Mohorovicic Discontinuity; (3) Transition Zone of the Upper Mantle; (4) Upper Mantle or Asthenosphere.  (Note:  The Transition Zone is sometimes included within the Upper Mantle/Asthenosphere; however, it is distinctly separate.)  

3.     1,404 Mile Thick Outer Core (considered its radius in that its “opposite side” has a comparable measurement of 1,404 Miles or 1,404 Miles * 2 = 2,808 Miles for total thickness)

4.     1,440 Mile Diameter or the Inner Core or 1,440 Miles less 360 Mile Innermost Core = 1,080 Mile Inner Core with a radius measurement on either side of 1,080 / 2 = 540 Miles

5.     The Innermost Core of 360 Mile in Diameter with a radius of 180 Miles

It should be noted that when measurements are given they are sometimes misleading in that what is being measured may or may not be the “thickness” or extant of the width of the strata so given.  Likewise, the imperfections in most of the strata demands that approximations at times be instituted and/or “average” width or girth or depth – this is particularly true the further to the surface of the Earth the strata displays.

This is precisely why that when measuring the diameter of the Earth at 7,920 Miles we have determined that by beginning at the most interior dimension of the Earth – the Inner, Innermost Core – and working out from the Center – that our measurements, when taken as a whole, both with the other strata and with the body of knowledge, geology, etc., that our dimensions would fair far more accurately. 

Nearly all dimensions have been distorted by the use of the metric system and have had to be translated through converters – so that, for example, when both the Upper Mantle and Gutenberg Discontinuity zones are given, they will approximate 200 km to 205 km or, converted to miles, would approximate between 124 to 127 miles; however, given the “overall measurements” of the other strata, we have concluded that 203 km would approximate this measurement; therefore, 126 miles is as close as we can get to these two distinct Upper Mantle and Gutenberg zones.

To obtain the “rock/dirt” diameter of the Earth to equate to 7,920 Miles (its diameter) we must allocate these sundry dimensions of depth, thickness, diameter, radius, etc., to arrive at its true radius of 3,960 miles:

1.     36 Mile Crust of the Earth (omitting the 62 miles atmosphere)

2.     1,800 Mile Mantle (thickness – one side * 2 = 3,600 miles)

a.     1-Mile Mohorovicic Discontinuity

b.     35-Mile Transition to the Upper Mantle/Asthenosphere (Please Note:  Some place the “Transition” between the Upper and Lower Mantle.)

c.      126-Mile Upper Mantle/Asthenosphere

d.     1,512-Mile Lower Mantle

e.      126-Mile Gutenberg Discontinuity (“D” Prime, Prime) (203 km)

3.     1,404 Mile Outer Core (thickness – one side * 2 = 2,808 miles)

4.     540 Mile Inner Core (thickness – one side * 2 = 1,080 miles)

5.     180 Mile Inner, Innermost Core Radius * 2 = 360-Mile Diameter

TOTAL:  3,960 Miles = 3,960 Miles Radius of the Earth

Looked at another way – in securing Earth’s diameter – while leaving out its atmosphere measure of 62 Miles…

1.     72 Miles – Crust of the Earth/both sides  (average crust is 9 miles thick)

2.     3,600 Miles – Mantle of the Earth (both sides)

3.     2,808 Miles – Outer Core of the Earth (both sides)

4.     1,080 Miles – Inner Core of the Earth (both sides) (Inner core diameter is

   1,440 Miles and includes Inner, Innermost Core)

5.     360 Miles – Diameter of the Inner, Innermost Core of the Earth

TOTAL:  7,920 Miles = 7,920 Miles Diameter of the Earth

Abundant links have been given to validate these measurements – just click on the numbers and off you go!

The diameter of the Earth is given in a variety of measurements – here are just a few of the many dimensions given – some measure the diameter at the equator and others at the polar caps:

(1) Earth's Diameter at the Equator: 7,926.28 miles (12,756.1 km). Earth's Diameter at the Poles: 7,899.80 miles (12,713.5 km).  (About Geography)

(2) The diameter of the earth at the equator is 41,851,443 feet, or 12,756.32 kilometers or 7,926.41 miles. The diameter of the earth through the poles is 41,717,290 feet, or 12,715.43 kilometers, or 7,901.002 miles.  (Wiki Answers)

(3) Eratosthenes inferred that the Earth's radius was 6366 km (3,955.7 miles * 2 = 7,911.4 miles) (NASA)

(4) 7,920 Miles (Multiple Sites:  Here)

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury – Earth’s girth literally “waxes and wanes” – and, oddly enough, this is precisely why it might be wiser to determine her girth by commencing the process from its innermost core – working from the “inside out.”

First of all we must come to terms with the fact that the three zones of the Earth + the atmosphere (3 + 1 = 4) is comprised of:

(1) Core:  Inner, Innermost Core; Inner Core, Outer Core = 3 Parts

(2) Mantle:  “D” Prime, Prime (Guttenberg Discontinuity); Lower Mantle, Upper Mantle/Asthenosphere; Transition Between Moho Discontinuity and Upper Mantle/Asthenosphere; Moho Discontinuity

(3) Crust  

(4) Atmosphere

The Dimensions of Paradise

The reasoning behind the 7,920 Mile Diameter of the Earth is deliberate in that the prejudice derives there from as a result of the Dimensions of Paradise in that the Revelation (Rev. 21:16) declares that the New Jerusalem is 12,000 furlongs/stadia in length, breadth and height (all the same measurement) and, since it is declared as a “foursquare” object – which is three-dimensional in nature – then it is either a cube or at least a half-octahedron and shaped like a pyramid or, forbid, somehow both (which on the surface appears incongruous – but the imaginative door is left wholly open). 

The fact that the city has three gate openings on each of her sides – made, so it would appear, with circular pearls (360° each) – therefore, it would have 12 such gates (3 * 4 = 12) and, likewise, we could calculate 12 * 360° = 4,320° - which “432” is a fractal/resemblance of the radius of the Sun (at 432,000 miles or “432” = “432”).  However, the Holy City also has 12 foundations bearing the names of the 12 Apostles of the Lamb (the Church) – whereas, the 12 gates bear the names of the 12 Patriarchs of Israel/the 12 Tribes (Israel).

Since the City is four-square – it would stand to good reason that each of the “foundation platforms” would constitute a four-square object in and of themselves – indeed, since each foundation “layer” is clearly described as a type of precious stone (viz., jasper, sapphire, chalcedony, emerald, sardonyx, sardius, chrysolite, beryl, topaz, chrysoprase, jacinth, and amethyst) each constituting a four-square area (we are not given a thickness).

Again, being four-square (“The City is laid out as a square; its length is as great as its breadth…its length, breadth, and height are equal” – Rev. 21:16), we know in math that this would mean that each of its right angles is 90° - so 90° * 4 = 360° in each of its “foundation squares”.  Now, 360° * 12 (foundations) = 4,320° - and, again, we see this measurement/calculation as the fractal of our Sun’s radius; however, now that we have the first 12 objects (pearls) as 4,320° and the second set of 12 objects (i.e., the 12 foundations) as 4,320° we discover this:  4,320° + 4,320° = 8,640° and presto:  THE SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS shines brightly!  Our Sun has a diameter of 864,000 miles…even so, the New Jerusalem exudes its measurement in such a way – but more so:  Each of its edges is 12,000 furlongs – by eliminating the zeroes we find that 12 * 12 = 144 (on one face of a six faced cube) * 6 = 864 – and, again, the 864 is declared!  Is there, therefore, any wonder we read:

“The City had no need of the Sun or of the Moon to shine in it, for the very glory of God illuminated it.  The Lamb is its light…There shall be no night there:  They need no lamp nor light of the Sun, for the Lord God gives them light” (Revelation 21:23; 22:5).

What we have here is the “illumination” stems from God – the “Lamb is its light.”  Light simply is reflective in nature – i.e., it necessitates an object upon which it can be seen – it “illuminates” object…we can see the object because of the power of the Light. 

The Light is always, if you would, projecting but it is not until it strikes an object that its illuminating characteristic can be seen. 

Really, the Light is meaningless unless it has an object – it always is, however, its “fulfillment” is not realized until an object is “reached” and commences reflectivity. 

So, the New Jerusalem receives its “expression” from the Lamb Who is the Light and the “process” whereby the reflectivity takes place – i.e., the “God illuminated it” – is wholly of God who “connects” the Light to the Object, the New Jerusalem.  Get it?  The Light is made for the New Jerusalem. 

We simply cannot see the New Jerusalem without the Light shining upon her – she has no light of her own – God Almighty can only illuminate via the “Lamb is its light.”  Through the Lamb, the Light of the World, the New Jerusalem can be observed.

Oh, and by the way, just to prove that the New Jerusalem is a cube – try this:  864 (gates and foundations) + 864 (all six faces (12 * 12 = 144 * 6 = 864) of the New Jerusalem as a cube) = 1,728 (which, by the way is the measurement of Noah’s Ark – so no wonder we’re saved using this suburb illustration (I Peter 3:20 ; II Peter 3:5 – the “ark”) … for the dimensions of Noah’s Ark total to 1,728 Cubits (See here:  Noah’s Ark).  Indeed, the supreme example in determining the “cubic measurement” is 12 * 12 * 12 = 1,728.

Also, 1,728 * 2.1 (Sacred Cubit) = 3628.8 which is the four-square base edge perimeter of the Great Pyramid of Giza @ 756’ * 4 = 3,024’ * 12” = 36288 Linear Inches which, when divided by the Sacred Cubit’s 25.20 Inches = 1,440 Sacred Cubits and this “144” is, likewise, the reflection of the New Jerusalem

But in case you’re still not clear on the cubing of the New Jerusalem – and not to be distracted here from the real issue at hand (viz., the Earth is the Lord’s) – please note that 1,728 cubits of Noah’s Ark (see graphic below) must be multiplied by the measurement of the Sacred Cubit; therefore, 1,728 * 2.1’ (2.1’ = 25.20”) = 3,628.8 feet which is the fractal/resemblance of the perimeter measurement, in inches, of the four-square Great Pyramid of Giza wherein 756’ (base edge measurement of its four-square base) * 4 = 3,024 Linear Feet * 12 Inches = 36,288 Inches.
