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, admitting that they were foreigners and strangers on earth. Hebrews 11:13
Citizens of the New Kingdom join with the patriarchs and the ancient believers, living by faith with the quiet assurance that the promises of the King will be fulfilled. The ancient believers saw and welcomed the promises of God. In the same way, Citizens of the New Kingdom today know that a glorious future awaits them.
Citizens of the New Kingdom are also foreigners and strangers on this earth. We should never be surprised when we are ridiculed and misunderstood because we follow the commands of our King and his kingdom is not from this world.
