A better country
Hebrews 11:10-16
10 For he was looking forward to the city with foundations,
whose architect and builder is God.
11 By faith Abraham, even though he was past age—and Sarah
herself was barren—was enabled to become a father because he considered him
faithful who had made the promise.
12 And so from this one man, and he as good as dead, came
descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sand on
the seashore.
13 All these people were still living by faith when they
died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed
them from a distance. And they admitted that they were aliens and strangers on
earth.
14 People who say such things show that they are looking for
a country of their own.
15 If they had been thinking of the country they had left,
they would have had opportunity to return.
16 Instead, they were longing for a better country—a heavenly
one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a
city for them.
Highest planet
Ephesians 1:21
Far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and
every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one
to come.
Ephesians 4:10
He who descended is the very one who ascended higher than all
the heavens, in order to fill the whole universe.)
Hebrews 7:26
Such a high priest meets our need—one who is holy, blameless,
pure, set apart from sinners, exalted above the heavens.
