How big was the wall that Nehemiah rebuilt in Jerusalem?

I don't think the Bible is clear on the exact dimensions, but it oviously went all the way around the city, and was tall and strong enough that the enemies of Israel were intimidated by it (Neh. 6:16).

Rev 21:2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from GOD out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. \n\n\nJesus never built a city, and maybe never will. But he will bring a New city with him when he comes.

The prophecy mentioned in Ez. 26:14 found its fulfilment regarding mainland Tyre under Nebuchadnezzar. Three years after Ezekiel's Prophecy Nebuchadnezzar moved in and besieged the ancient city of Tyre. He attacked the mainland city and held it besieged for about thirteen years. He then marched into the city to find it nearly deserted. The Tyrians had abandoned the mainland and fortified themselves on the Island of Tyre. The mainland was over-run and defeated, and it was thrown down and left in ruins. The Island continued to be a mighty power in the Mediterranean until many years later.\n\nInsular Tyre recovered partly, after seventy years (Is. 23:17,18), but again suffered under Alexander, then under Antigonus, and finally under the Saracens at the beginning of the fourteenth century A.D.\n\nAlexander the Great besieged the island of Tyre during his war on the Persians. Alexander III after defeating Darius moved on towards Egypt. He called upon the former cities of the Persians to open their gates and let him in, hoping to prevent the cities being used by the Persian fleets. Tyre refused to do so and so Alexander became so angry that one city held out against him that he laid siege to it. But having no fleet of ships and not being able to get to them would have caused him some considerable problems, so he destroyed the remains of mainland Tyre and threw the remains into the sea to build a causeway to the Island. The causeway was 60ft wide and half a mile long and at the end he cast siege engines and towers. Alexander realised he needed ships to take the city and he started mustering a huge fleet from his conquered subjects: Sidon, Aradus, Byblus, Rhodes, Soli, Mallos & Macedon and Cyprus. The massive fleet ensured the destruction of Tyre was just a matter of time.\n\nYou should realize that things CAN hapen more than once in History......

It refers to the wall of hostility which separated Jews and Gentiles for so long. It also refers, metaphorically, to the the fence which separated the inner part of the Temple, where only the Jews could enter, from the Court of the Gentiles. St. Paul, in his letter to the Ephesians wrote, "For he is our peace, he who made both one and broke down the dividing wall of enmity, through his flesh, abolishing the law with its commandments and legal claims, that he might create in himself one new person in place of the two, thus establishing peace, and might reconcile both with God, in one body, through the cross, putting that enmity to death by it."  (Eph 2:14-16)\n\nThe gospel of salvation that God worked in Christ is reiterated in terms of what God's great love, expressed in Christ, means for us. In urging people to remember their grim past when they were dead in sins and what they are now in Christ, St. Paul saw both Jew and Gentile reconciled with God, now one new person, a new humanity, one body, the household of God, a temple and dwelling place of God's Spirit. \n\nThe Gentiles lacked Israel's messianic expectation, lacked the various covenants God made with Israel, lacked hope of salvation and knowledge of the true God; but through Christ all these religious barriers between Jew and Gentile have been transcended by the abolition of the Mosaic covenant-law for the sake of uniting Jew and Gentile into a single religious community, imbued with the same holy Spirit and worshiping the same Father. The Gentiles are now included in God's household as it arises upon the foundation of apostles assisted by those endowed with the prophetic gift, the preachers of Christ. With Christ as the capstone, they are being built into the holy temple of God's people where the divine presence dwells.\n\nWhat we see now is a new wall, skillfully built by Satan to thwart God's plans for blessing both Jew and Gentile.\n\nThe following is a list about how Jews and Christians may relate to one another:\n\n1. Jews and Christians worship the same God.\n2. Jews and Christians seek authority from the same book — the Bible (what Jews call Tanakh and Christians call the Old Testament).\n3.  Christians can respect the claim of the Jewish people on the land of Israel.\n4. Jews and Christians accept the moral principles of Torah.\n5. Nazism was not a Christian phenomenon.\n6. The humanly irreconcilable difference between Jews and Christians will not be settled until God redeems the entire world as promised in scripture.\n7. A new relationship between Jews and Christians will not weaken Jewish practice.\n8. Jews and Christians must work together for justice and peace.\n\nThe Church is a cultivated field, the tillage of God. On that land the ancient olive tree grows whose holy roots were the prophets and in which the reconciliation of Jews and Gentiles has been brought about and will be brought about again. That land, like a choice vineyard, has been planted by the heavenly cultivator. Yet the true vine is Christ who gives life and fruitfulness to the branches, that is, to us, who through the Church remain in Christ, without whom we can do nothing.\n\nAt all times and in every race, anyone who fears God and does what is right has been acceptable to him. He has, however, willed to make men holy and save them, not as individuals without any bond or link between them, but rather to make them into a people who might acknowledge him and serve him in holiness. He therefore chose the Israelite race to be his own people and established a covenant with it. He gradually instructed this people. . . . All these things, however, happened as a preparation for and figure of that new and perfect covenant which was to be ratified in Christ . . . the New Covenant in his blood; he called together a race made up of Jews and Gentiles which would be one, not according to the flesh, but in the Spirit.

The Wall of Constantine was the first wall of Constantinople, now modern Istanbul. Later on, a much grander and larger wall was built. This wall lasted and was not breached for 900 years, in fact, it is still visible in large parts today. Read "A Short History of Byzantium" by John Julius Norwich for an entertaining and insightful look at Constantinople.

Genesis 6:15 Make it 450 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet high. \n \nIt was the length of one and a half football fields and as high as a four story building.  The boat was exactly six times longer than it was wide - the same ratio used by modern shipbuilders.\nIt took Noah 120 years to build the boat.

The son of Nabopolassar; became king of Babylon in 604 B.C. as Assyria was on the decline; died 561.His name, either in this spelling or in the more correct form, Nebuchadrezzar (from the original, "Nabu-kudurri-uṣur" = "Nebo, defend my boundary"), is found more than ninety times in the Old Testament.\n\n\n\nNebuchadnezzar's first notable act was the overthrow of the Egyptian army under Necho at the Euphrates in the fourth year of Jehoiakim (Jer. xlvi. 2). It is entirely reasonable to suppose that at the same time he descended upon Palestine and made Jehoiakim his subject (II Kings xxiv. 1). This campaign took place in 605. The next year Nebuchadnezzar became king of Babylon; and he ruled for forty-three years, or until 561. Jehoiakim served him for three years, and then rebelled. He doubtless incited the neighboring tribes (ib. verse 2) to persecute Judah and bring its king to respect his oath. In 598 Nebuchadnezzar himself came westward, took Jehoiakim (II Chron. xxxvi. 6) and probably slew him, casting out his dead body unburied (Jer. xxii. 19, xxxvi. 30), and carried captive to Babylon 3,023 Jews (Jer. lii. 28). He placed Jehoiachin, the dead king's son, on the throne. Three months were sufficient to prove Jehoiachin's character (Ezek. xix. 5-9). He was taken with 10,000 of the best of the people of Jerusalem and carried to Babylon. His uncle Mattaniah, whose name was changed to Zedekiah, was put on the throne by Nebuchadnezzar in 597.\n\nEgypt was continually intriguing with southwestern Asia, and was now courting the friendship of Zedekiah. This became so noticeable that Judah's king made a journey to Babylon in the fourth year of his reign (Jer. li. 59), probably to assure Nebuchadnezzar of his loyalty to him. But by the ninth year of his reign Zedekiah became so friendly with the Egyptians that he made a league with them and thereupon rebelled against the King of Babylon. With due despatch Nebuchadnezzar and his army left for the Westland. He placed his base of action at Riblah in the north, and went southward and laid siege to Jerusalem. By some message the Egyptians learned of the siege and hastily marched to the relief of the beleaguered ally. The Babylonians raised the siege (Jer. xxxvii. 3-5) long enough to repulse the Egyptian arms, and came back and settled about Jerusalem. At the end of eighteen months (586) the wall yielded. Zedekiah and his retinue fled by night, but were overtaken in the plains of the Jordan. The king and his sons were brought before Nebuchadnezzar at Riblah; the sons were slain, and the king's eyes bored out; and he was carried in chains to Babylon. Nebuchadnezzar caused Jerusalem to be destroyed, and the sacred vessels of the Temple to be carried to Babylon. He placed Gedaliah in authority over the Jews who remained in the land. In the twenty-third year of his reign Nebuchadnezzar's captain of the guard carried away 745 Jews, who had been gathered from those scattered through the land. Nebuchadnezzar entered Egypt also (Jer. xlvi. 13-26; Ezek. xxix. 2-20), according to his own inscriptions about 567, and dealt a severe blow to its supremacy and power.\n\nThe representations in the Book of Daniel of Nebuchadnezzar's greatness are doubtless correct; and there is reason for believing that he was the great builder and glorifier of his capital. He was succeeded by his son Evil-merodach.E. G. H. I. M.
