    New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
    • 11:10

      the city having real foundations: This “city” is the Kingdom of God. Its foundations are real; they are based solidly on Jehovah’s unshakable will and his supreme authority as Sovereign. Abraham saw numerous kingdoms, or city-states, throughout Canaan. These were ruled by kings who offered their subjects a measure of security and protection. But Abraham never attached himself to those kingdoms or rulers. Further, Abraham never built a city or set up a kingdom for himself, though he had ample wealth and power. (Ge 14:8-17) Rather, he obediently remained a nomad, dwelling in tents. (Ge 13:17, 18; 23:14-20; Ac 7:5) In faith Abraham awaited the day when he would receive his own place under the perfect rulership of Jehovah’s Kingdom, “the city” that would be designed and built by God.
