Verse 26
Hagar also represents old Jerusalem, enslaved under Rome and the Mosaic Law, which Paul did not mention in Galatians 4:26. Sarah represents the heavenly city of Jerusalem, the final destiny of departed believers, which is free. She is also the mother of all true believers.
The main features in this analogy are as follows.
| Hagar is the bond women | Sarah is the free woman |
| Ishmael was born naturally | Isaac was born supernaturally |
| The old covenant | The new covenant |
| The earthly Jerusalem | The heavenly Jerusalem |
| Judaism | Christianity |
