The 'end of the world' meant far more than just the end of the Old Covenant.
'New heavens and earth' means far more than just the inauguration of the New Covenant.
What God did in Christ for Israel - He was really doing for all nations - and for the whole of creation itself.
Christ inaugurated the end of all things, and the renewing of all things - all things - for all nations, for all people - for the Jew first, and also for the Greeks - and also for the physical creation itself. But although He inaugurated it all in some sense, it hasn't yet been consummated in every sense - but it will be, at His second coming.
