Indeed, it does.
"In speaking of a new covenant, he makes the first one obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away" (Hebrews 8:13, ESV). Kenneth Wuest put it in this way:
"In the fact that He says, New in quality, He has permanently antiquated the first. Now, that which is being antiquated and is waning in strength, is near to the point of vanishing away."
I say again: Abraham was not a Jew but a Hebrew. God's covenant with him still in effect.
The Old Mosaic Covenant, which is not the same as the Abrahamic Covenant, indeed ended when Jerusalem, the Temple and the bloodline records of natural Israel were permanently destroyed by the Romans in 70 AD.
