THESIS 86: THE LAST DAYS OF THE OLD COVENANT

As foretold by the Old Testament Prophets, a glorious New Heavens and New Earth would be created in the "latter times."[291] Christ established this Messianic Kingdom at the time of the Apostles,[292] who knew they were living in "the last days" of the Old Age.[293] The Old Covenant World (the world of the First Adam) was destroyed by fire in A.D. 70,[294] and as the Church is maturing in obedience all Old Testament prophecies concerning the New Covenant Age (the New Heavens and New Earth under the Second Adam) are being fulfilled.[295]
