Exegesis

The article ten {τὴν | tēn} with the participle mellousan {μέλλουσαν | mél-lou-san} ‘about to come’ forms a substantival participial phrase, “the one that is to come,” with polin understood by ellipsis from the earlier occurrence.

In contextHebrews 13:14

For we do not have here a remaining city , but we are seeking the one that is to come.
