‏ Hebrews 12:22

Unto mount Zion--the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem; to the true spiritual Zion and Jerusalem, of which the earthly Zion with its city was an emblem; that is, to the privileges, hopes, and blessings of the Christian dispensation and the holy family of God under it. Compare the words of the apostle, Ga 4:26: "Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all."

An innumerable company of angels; who make a part of God's universal family, of which Christ is the head. Eph 1:10; Col 1:20.

‏ Hebrews 13:14

Here have we no continuing city; our stay on earth will be short. This is a reason why we should cheerfully bear reproach with Jesus, that we may share with him the glory of the heavenly city that is to come.
