Final Judgment
God’s judgment on old covenant Israel—fulfilled in 70 A.D., not a future judgment day.
In many traditions, the Final Judgment is viewed as a future event where all people are judged eternally. Yeshuans teaches a different view: that the “judgment” spoken of in the New Testament was directed at the generation of Israel that rejected Jesus, and that it was fulfilled in the destruction of Jerusalem.
This judgment marked the end of the old covenant age—not the judgment of all humanity. Through Christ’s atonement, the world was reconciled to God (2 Corinthians 5:19). What remained was the removal of the old system and the ushering in of a new age of spiritual freedom.
Under this view, there is no future day of wrath. Instead, people are now free to respond to God in love, not fear.
