I might be wrong but I think your question comes from what we currently think of the purpose of walls but. According to scripture New Jerusalem will be the dwelling place of God and all of the saints who received resurrected bodies Rev. 21:3. The Bible states that New Jerusalem's walls will be roughly 1,500 miles long, 1,500 miles wide and 1,500 miles tall Rev. 21:16. This will be a massive (to say the least) symbol of Gods glory. It will be the earths source of light, shining SEVEN times brighter then the current sun at noon day, and as bright as the current sun at noon day during midnight Isa. 30:26; 60:19-20.
