Will not pass away till all is fulfilled.
Matthew 5:17-18
17 “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. 18 For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled.
This may be a new way at looking at this. I am not sure if any of you have noticed this, if you have, please do tell me. but I have just discovered this alone =D yay
So what I discovered is that Jesus was speaking about how the Law and the Prophets will not be abolished but that He will fulfill it all, meaning He'll be the last, of both the law (love) and the Prophets.
Then He gives us two options, Till heaven and earth pass away and Till all is fulfilled. So twice He says Until, which one is it? I believe it is the one of fulfilling.
Jesus came to fulfill, so on the Cross He said, it is finished. Meaning He fulfilled it at that point.
So my question to you is this, (I am confused here) is the law (Old Law) abolished at the time that He said, It is finished? and by the veil that was torn also?
Now we live in the New law.
In a later verse In Matthew 24:35 and Mark 13:31 He says how His words shall never pass away, even if all things pass away. This is not speaking about the Law only but about everything, His Word. So the focus here is on Matthew 5:17-18
