Larry,
Thanks for your response. Its very helpful.

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

If we focus just on the Genesis account of the promise made to Abraham, its difficult to see any evidence of the truth revealed in Hebrews 11:9,10. ie., that he was looking for a city which hath foundations, etc. Its true, but we don't find it out until centuries later when the book of Hebrews was written. Can you think of any verses in the OT (I can't off hand) that teach this about Abraham, that express the same thing as Hebrew 11:10?
