For you, brothers and sisters, became imitators of the churches of God in Christ Jesus that are in Judea, for you suffered the same things from your own compatriots as they did from the Jews, who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drove us out; they displease God and oppose everyone by hindering us from speaking to the Gentiles so that they may be saved. Thus they have constantly been filling up the measure of their sins; but God’s wrath has overtaken them at last.
1 Thessalonians 2:14-16
What is the wrath being spoken of here? What happened to the Jews?
I have heard some claim that this refers to the destruction of the Temple, but this cannot be so, because Paul died before it was destroyed. So it must be referring to some other catastrophe.
