Hebrews is written during the transitional period from OT types, to Nt realities.
Some who may have even believed in part in some of the promises were in danger of failing to move on and embrace the Lord Jesus Christ ,the fullness of His person and work.
The other posts are getting at this truth. 70 ad was a fulfillment of the covenant curses of Deut.28-32/ as outlined by Jesus in Matthew 20-25.
The final judgement of the last day {White throne judgement} has not taken place, however the last day of the OC. economy has.
Quote:
14For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews:
15Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men:
16Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.
