    The Promised Land

    I have quoted a few selected verses from Hebrews 11 below.

    Hebrews 11:8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.

    Hebrews 11:9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:

    Hebrews 11:10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

    Hebrews 11:13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

    Hebrews 11:16 But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.

    Hebrews 11:38 (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.

    So what were these faithful men of God looking for? What was the LAND they were looking for? What was the PROMISE spoken of in these verses?

    Was it some geographical land on this sin cursed earth where they were STRANGERS and PILGRIMS?

    Or was it a HEAVENLY country, a HEAVENLY city, whose builder and maker is God?

    Hebrews 11:39 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:

    Hebrews 11:40 God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.

    Hebrews 11 is talking about the INHERITANCE that awaits all True Believers that God has and will save throughout time. That is the New Heavens and New Earth where all True Believers will live and reign with Christ ETERNALLY. That God will create from the ashes of this sin-cursed earth.

    Not some future Kingdom on this sin-cursed earth with Christ ruling from Jerusalem.

    David read Rev.12:5....The woman births the manchild which is the spirit of truth that is gonna rule all nations.....The spirit of truth is gonna reprove this world of sin and judgement and righteousness....Judgement means the Prince of this world (SATAN ) is gonna be judged thus the WORLD is gona be made clean by the manchild the H.G. That is gona rule all nations....Remember Isaiah 11:5...Knowledge is gonna cover this earth as the waters covers the seas....A lil one is gona become a 1000 and a small one a strong nation....I the Lord will hasten it in its time....An Israel of God is on the horizon soon as the Sower will go forth to sow his precious seed in humanity.....The woman giving birth is humanity....Thats y Jeremiah saw all men in travail and birth pains.

    Several of the prophets saw the whole world at rest and full of his Glory..... Hebrews 12:22.....You are come unto Mt Sion the city of the living God, That HEAVENLY Jerusalem...To a hugh host of angels....But this city is with in us,...its the H.G. Which is the Kingdom of God....The Kingdom of God is not in meat or drink but in joy and peace in the H.G..... Rev. 11:15....The Kingdoms of this world have become the Kingdoms of our lord and his Christ.....And has made us unto our GODS AS KINGS AND PRIEST that we shall reign on the earth.... Rev. 5 i think...ok gbu
