the measuring reed4 parallels

Estimating the reed at 10+ feet , 500 reeds will be nearly equal to a mile; so that from this statement we find the temple , with its outbuildings , was built on a square , nearly an English mile on each side , and four miles in circumference. This not only far exceeds the size of Solomon's temple , or that after the captivity , which was only 500 cubits , or a furlong , on each side , and exactly half a mile in circuit; but is nearly equal to the whole extent of Jerusalem itself , which , when greatest , was but 33 furlongs in circumference , somewhat less than 4+ miles. This seems clearly to intimate , that the vision cannot be explained of any temple that has hitherto been built , or indeed of any literal temple , but figuratively and mystically of the spiritual temple , the church under the gospel , and its spiritual glory
