The Law...as Jesus and Apostle Paul BOTH said...is no more. It is over. All of it. Period. God’s covenant with Israel was temporary and had a pre-planned end. Jesus said He came to ‘fulfill’ the law...to bring it to a designated end. He didn’t come to abolish - as in destroy - the validity of it...or to undermine the credibility of it...He came to bring it to a pre-planned, designated end. God set a timer when He established His covenant with Israel...and the time had run out. God’s conditional, temporary covenant with Israel was coming to an end...the law was being fulfilled through Jesus.
A lot of rules and practices and rituals and instructions from the Old Testament are no longer practiced, not because they were wrong, but because they were pointing forward to when Jesus would fulfill them...and end them. He didn’t abolish them, He just made them obsolete. If you had a HUGE debt that you owed, and someone came along and paid off your debt, the obligation would be fulfilled...and the burden of fulfilling that obligation would be removed as well. Jesus fulfilled — as in ended — the necessity of the Jewish law. He didn’t abolish the law by fulfilling it...He just made it obsolete by fulfilling it.
Jesus said that nothing in the law would “disappear” until everything was “accomplished.” It ‘was’ accomplished, and then the law began to disappear. Jews throughout the Roman world started abandoning strict adherence to the law to follow the resurrected Jesus. The transition came to an abrupt end on August 6 in AD70. Ancient Judaism ended, signaled by the temple’s destruction...as Jesus predicted. The Old Covenant wasn’t needed anymore...it had been fulfilled and replaced with a new, and better, covenant.
I don’t equate the fulfilled-and-now-obsolete old covenant with Jesus’ New Covenant. At all. God clearly separated the two.


Every day on this side of the ground is a win.
