I got it from right here:
Hebrews chapter 11
[13] These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
[14] For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.
[15] And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.
[16] But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.
Abraham "died in faith, not having received the promises", which he obviously believed in, "but seeing them afar off", he was "PERSUADED OF THEM, AND EMBRACED THEM, and confessed that" he was a "stranger and pilgrim on the earth" because...wait for it...HE DESIRED A BETTER COUNTRY, THAT IS, AN HEAVENLY" knowing that God "had PREPARED FOR HIM A CITY".
Got it?
Now, tell us, if you would be so kind, what HEAVENLY CITY THAT GOD HAD PREPARED FOR HIM Abraham was looking forward to when he "died in faith" and how he expected entrance into the same.

Are you capable of actually answering a question?
What HEAVENLY CITY was Abraham looking forward to and how did he expect entrance into it?
What will your answer be?
Purple?
Kitty cats?
Pencil sharpener?
Seriously, what is wrong with you (rhetorical question)?
If you're not going to answer the actual questions that I pose to you, then please don't even bother replying anymore.
It just causes me to get a notification of your latest evasive non-answer, thereby wasting my time.

Perhaps you would be kind enough to explain this as well:
Romans chapter 4
[13] For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
What does it mean that Abraham was promised to "be the HEIR OF THE WORLD" through the righteousness of faith?
How was he to receive this INHERITANCE apart from somebody dying?

What does it mean that Abraham was promised to "be the HEIR OF THE WORLD" through the righteousness of faith?
How was he to receive this INHERITANCE apart from somebody dying?

Why did you ignore my question about how Abraham was to receive an INHERITANCE apart from someone dying?
Of course, we both know that you ignored it because the correct answer to my question once again shows the folly of your presently-held beliefs.
As "joint-heirs with Christ" (Rom. 8:17), believers will share Christ's inheritance with him at his second coming, and Christ himself was "appointed heir of all things" (Heb. 1:2)...wait for it...AFTER HIS RESURRECTION FROM THE DEAD AND ASCENSION BACK TO HEAVEN.
Despite your repeated unbiblical claims to the contrary, Abraham fully believed in the same.
Anyhow, as usual, you'll reject Biblical truth, but somebody else who will inevitably read my comment hopefully will not.

So, like, Roofus, do people always take things into the alley behind the restaurant and duke it out?
Yeah Jams, I'm afraid they do.
Well ok then. Let's order pizza.

Precious friend(s). Amazing, is it not, how Abraham heard {when? beats me }, And
Understood{?} about the Death, Burial, And Resurrection Of The LORD JESUS CHRIST,
As Great News, When, with the odds "stacked Against him {12 to 1?}", we have
the Following?:
"From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto His disciples, how that He must go
unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes,
and be killed, and be raised again the third day. Then Peter took him, and began
to rebuke Him, saying, Be it far from Thee, Lord: this shall NOT BE unto Thee."
(Matthew_16:21-22 KJB!)
So, Peter and the eleven, After walking With JESUS for THREE years,
Sorry for the disruption = please carry on with your discussion... 😇

Precious friends, in addition, some believe all the OT saints, by faith, Also understood?
Amazing The Scriptures one can find, just doing a little reading Every Day, eh? Be Blessed!:
Luk 18:31 Then He took unto him The Twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.
Luk 18:32 For He shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:
Luk 18:33 And they shall scourge Him, and.. {Great News For Forgiveness of sin!?}:
...put Him to death: and the third day He shall rise again!
Luke_18:34 And they understood NONE of these things: and This Saying was
HID from them, neither KNEW they the things which were spoken.
Q; How much More Plainer Can God Say Something, Before we believe IT?

“I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.”
Galatians 1:6-8 KJV
“The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;
Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.”
