Commentary on Hebrews 8:13
By calling it a 'new covenant,' God 'has made the first obsolete' (Greek 'pepalaīōken' - has made old/worn out). What is obsolete and aging 'is ready to vanish away.' This is pastoral courage - declaring God's clear intention to replace the old covenant system. Written before AD 70, this may have been fulfilled shortly after in the temple's destruction. The old covenant served its purpose and is now superseded by the superior new covenant in Christ.
