Heb 11:9-10 By faith he made his home in the promised land like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise. For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God.
In this way Abraham typifies Christians, who are “aliens and strangers on earth” and who by faith are “longing for a better country - a heavenly one.”
