Jesus was referring to the future Messianic Kingdom or the Millennium, His 1,000-year earthly reign. Israel expected the Messianic Kingdom to occur 2,000 years ago, but due to Jewish unbelief and the killing of Jesus, the Messianic Kingdom has been delayed until after the 7-year Tribulation.

After the Church, the Body of Christ, is removed by the Rapture (before the Tribulation), the Law will again be in force for believing Jews in the Tribulation, Matthew 24. During the 1,000-year Messianic Kingdom, the Law will be in force for the entire world.

Jesus will enforce the Law in His Messianic Kingdom, and Jewish law will be strictly maintained during that time, Zechariah 14:16-19. Every command of the Law will be enforced during that time. Jesus will preside over the fulfillment of the Law and Prophets in His Kingdom.

So all has not been fulfilled, including what was written in the Old Testament and including prophesies that haven’t yet come to pass.

The Law will be fulfilled when the old Heaven and earth are burned up (after the 1,000-year Messianic Kingdom). Heaven and earth haven’t passed away YET, but will according to scripture.

We are currently under grace, not under Law, but that will change when Jesus reigns in His Millennial Kingdom. Then Jesus will fully enforce the Law with an iron rod. Jesus came to fulfill the Law, and He ultimately will. That’s what He meant in Matthew 5:17-19.
