Matthew 5
The Sermon on the Mount
Vs 17-18
Do not think that I have come to destroy the Law or the Prophets: I have not come to destroy but to fulfill them.
For truely I say to you, until Heaven and Earth pass away, one jot or tittle shall not in any way pass from the Law until all will be fulfilled.
Jesus is saying that not the least part of a letter of a word (a "jot" is a dot, and a "tittle" is the tiniest stroke of the pen) will be nullified, but that every detail of every word of every story and teaching in Scripture will hold True and actual until this whole Earth and Universe are destroyed and made into a New Heaven and a New Earth.
And when Jesus walked this Earth, He said here that He fulfilled all the laws and prophesies of the Old Testament. With His life He fulfilled all the civil and moral laws, and His death fulfilled all the Sacrificial laws. He is also fulfilling all the Feasts God told His people to celebrate.
When Jesus died, He was our Sacrificial Lamb; and when His Blood splattered His altar, the Cross, He fulfilled the Personal Sacrifice for each one of us individually for Salvation. God saves us one by one.
And when His Blood was poured out at the foot of the Cross He was fulfilling the Corporate Sacrifice, to purchase the whole Earth, which makes Him our rightful Judge. He judges whole Nations.
And when he returns to rule as our King over all kings and Lord over all lords, then He will fulfill all the rest of the Prophesies, concerning Israel and all the Last Things.
Then this Time Line of Mankind will come to an end, and a whole new epoch will ensue, in a New Universe with a New Earth-like planet, all designed to operate on a completely different basis of existence. Jesus said, Look, I am making all things new (Revelation 21:5); not just the Earth, but a whole new Creation!
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
