<p>13:14- see on Eph. 2:19.</p><p><em>For we do not have here a permanent city, but we seek after one which is yet to come</em>- The exodus of people from Jerusalem to Golgotha was seen as symptomatic of how we as God's people, as Abraham, are ever on the move, looking for a permanence and stability that is yet ahead for us in literal terms (11:10). Jerusalem with its apparent solidity was not a permanent city, it was about to be destroyed. The Jerusalem yet to come is the community of believers whose memories / spirits are in God's memory, who shall in symbolic terms come from heaven to earth at the Lord' return. And the apparent solidity of secular life is likewise far from permanent.</p>
