“For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.”
For he looked forward to the city that has foundations, whose architect and builder is God — Abraham's vision transcended earthly Canaan toward the eschatological city (polis) whose architect-builder (technites, architech) is God himself. The city with foundations (themelios) indicates stability and permanence transcending mortal structures.
