Hebrews 13:14 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.

Here - on earth. Those who clung to the earthly sanctuary represent all who cling to this earth. The earthly Jerusalem proved to be no "abiding city," having been destroyed shortly after: with it fell the Jewish civil and religious polity: a type of the whole earthly order of things soon to perish.

One to come (Hebrews 2:5; Hebrews 11:10; Hebrews 11:14; Hebrews 11:16; Hebrews 12:22; Philippians 3:20).
