Why is the measurement of cubits significant?

Answered in 1 source

Cubits signify the standard of measurement for salvation, representing God's criteria for His people.

In Revelation 21:17, the wall of the New Jerusalem is measured in cubits, which signifies the 'mother' measurement—the standard from which all other measurements derive. This indicates that God's salvation is based on His own established standard, as His requirements for the salvation of His people are portrayed through this measurement. The number 144 cubits suggests completeness and is directly associated with God's elect, emphasizing that the salvation provided to His people is guaranteed and sufficient through Christ. As such, this measurement serves as a reminder that God Himself is the foundation from which all realities of salvation flow.
