Hebrews 13:14

_ _ here — on earth. Those Hebrews who clung to the earthly sanctuary are representatives of all who cling to this earth. The earthly Jerusalem proved to be no “abiding city,” having been destroyed shortly after this Epistle was written, and with it fell the Jewish civil and religious polity; a type of the whole of our present 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).

See commentary on Hebrews 13:1-17.

Hebrews 13:14

For we have here — On earth No continuing city — All things here are but for a moment; and Jerusalem itself was just then on the point of being destroyed.
