So then what is this uttermost wrath that has fallen upon those who killed Jesus and the prophets in 1 Thessalonians 2:15-16, if not their destruction in 67-70 AD?
1 Thessalonians 2:15 Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men:16 Forbidding 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.

But just like all the times that Jesus said "The kingdom of God has come upon you", the full realization of it has not even come upon us completely, even to this day. As a boy, I am sure you can remember that you screwed up and brought punishment upon yourself.... but, if like in most households, the actual administering of that punishment did not fully land on you until your dad got home and took you to the woodshed.
God laid "wrath" on both the Jews and the Gentiles all through the Bible..... and often it took decades (sometimes even hundreds of years) to have its full impact.
I think we often make some big mistakes in thinking God is limited in doing things ONLY in the manner and timing that we have stuck in our heads that He has to deliver it.
