Here's the "New Jerusalem" geometric diagram of author John Michell, which has achieved some moderate degree of fame among "sacred geometry" enthusiasts. Probably won't make it into the article, but thought I'd throw it here for comment, if anyone is interested... AnonMoos (talk) 00:30, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
The twelve Chakra systems, which include the standard seven plus five additional centers (one above the head, plus two at hands and two at feet) could be a clue to the "gates" spoken of at this celestial city, thus freeing New Jerusalem from geography, but not personal location. 69.69.17.194 (talk) 22:16, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
It seems the order of the paragraphs can use some re-structuring, namely the Ezekiel detail of the city placed first.. any ideas?--חודר לעומר (talk) 21:25, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
Can we limit the "also know as" intro names to three at most?--חודר לעומר (talk) 21:50, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
Theology and religion are based on what is known about the past and what already has occurred. Prophecy is about what isn't known but only partly seen concerning the future. In no place in the Hebrew Testament is Jesus mentioned by name. Only after his life was fulfilled did the meaning of the words of Isaiah (and other prophets) become emphatically clear. In Isaiah, the Servant is given various symbolic names--Abraham, Judah, Israel, etc. And in Isaiah 1:1 and 2:1 it says, "This is a prophecy concerning Judah and Jerusalem that is, male and female, and Isaiah refers repeatedly to Jerusalem, Zion, daughter Zion, the city, the bride, the wife, the mother--all female images. This is repeated in Revelations. What is the New Jerusalem? Jerusalem is an as yet to be fulfilled prophecy--of a coming of a time of peace in the world between all peoples. The Marriage is how we learn to live together despite our differences--through love. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.167.120.201 (talk) 23:18, 30 July 2014 (UTC) I am Margaret9mary.
The the article states that "the City where YHWH is there" is identical with the New Jerusalem of Revelation, but there are significant differences between the two. The only real similarity is the twelve gates.
Some Differences:
In addition, the Jerusalem of Zechariah is yet another city, likely during the Millennium as is the City of Y. This river, flowing from the city and not the temple, splits in half and flows to both the Mediterranean Sea and the Dead Sea.

THE city Is San Juan, Puerto Rico. Zechariah 14;4. Danyjon (talk) 17:53, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
Hi. The description of the New Jerusalem is described in Revelation 21, not in the Book of Ezekiel.
The Prophecy in Ezekiel refers to the Temple and City that will be built during Christ's Millennial Kingdom, not the New Jerusalem. There is no Temple in the New Jerusalem, and the city described in Ezekiel's prophecy, is vastly different than the city described in John's prophecy in the Book of Revelation.
(Please compare Ezekiel 40-48 to Revelation 21).
Thank You. :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by RocciGirl (talk • contribs) 13:57, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
The "New Jerusalem" of the Robert Heinlein story "If This Goes On—" cannot be in Kansas City, Missouri as formerly claimed. The protagonist travels west from New Jerusalem to reach Cincinnati and then, as it happens, KC, which has not been renamed. The final battle to reduce New Jerusalem starts with a rendezvous on the east bank of the Delaware River, from which they proceed east. The only location in New Jersey excluded as a possibility is Princeton, whose university is still in existence by that name. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:647:CA00:46FC:E80E:C65D:AE40:35D (talk) 08:50, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

Large sections have no cited source/s, which is a requirement for a Wikipedia article. Articles aren’t supposed to be based on original study. NewBluePencil (talk) 17:37, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
