“You, Lord, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth,
And the heavens are the work of Your hands.
11 They will perish, but You remain;
And they will all grow old like a garment;
12 Like a cloak You will fold them up,
And they will be changed.
But You are the same,
And Your years will not fail.”
Hebrews 1:10-12 NKJ

"First and foremost is the undeniable fact that Paul, when considering the resurrection from the death of Adam, posited that resurrection as the fulfillment of God's promises to Old Covenant Israel. He directly cites Isaiah 25 and Hosea 13, not to mention the fact that he indirectly alludes to Daniel 9, Daniel 12, the Psalms and other O.T. prophecies (1 Corinthians 15:54-56). This means that the promise of resurrection made in the Garden is incorporated into YHVH's promises to Old Covenant Israel. So, the story of the Garden becomes the story of Israel."
--Don K. Preston, We Shall Meet Him in the Air: The Wedding of The King of Kings, p. 4.
In Matthew 23:34-36, Jesus said judgment on the Jews would come in that generation. It was to be a judgment so comprehensive it would encompass all the martyrs all the way back to creation (23:35)!
-- Don K. Preston, Who is this Babylon, pp. 266.
Notice that in Revelation 6:12-17 the response to the prayer of the martyrs was the promise that the Great Day of God was coming. The creation would be destroyed, and the wicked would "run for the hills." To put it another way, the martyrs would be vindicated at the Great Day of the Lord, when heaven and earth would pass away.
-- Don K. Preston, Who is this Babylon, pp. 267
[S]ince the Great Day of the Lord was to occur at the great Day of the Lord was to occur at the time of the destruction of creation, at the judgment of Babylon [Jerusalem], and since creation was to be destroyed at the end of the millennium, then the vindication of the martyrs, in the judgment on Babylon [Jerusalem], was to occur at the end of the millennium.
