    I’ve always heard it explained that the “fulfillment of the law” doesn’t abolish them, it fulfills the obligation and renders it moot, paving the way for the new covenant with Jesus as the penultimate sacrifice.

      Even if you could accept that interpretation of fulfillment that would mean the “heaven and the earth disappear” already happened, which I’m pretty sure isn’t the case.

        Depends on what you mean. The world that existed at the time of Christ has certainly been replaced. It took till the mid 1800s to really get going, but when was the last time you saw someone travelling by horse?
