or the Neviim. I did not come to abolish but to complete. For, omein, truly I say to you, until Shomayim and haaretz pass away, not one yod, not one tag (ornamental flourish), will pass from the until everything is accomplished.
Mat 5:17-18 (ESV) "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished.”

Note that in order to “prove” that the law was brought to an end, IAW done away with, the dispensationalists have taken one word out of context. Clearly if we read this passage by itself it is saying was NOT done away with. And if we read on;
vs. 19 “Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.”
So this passage is coupled with a warning NOT to break the law!
Furthermore, they have taken 1/5th of the definition of the word fulfill and used that to “prove” their doctrine- a doctrine that was preconceived by men wanting to remove any “taint” of Judaism from their new religion! All four of the other definitions for “fulfill” support the Messianic interpretation that Yeshua met the requirements and would complete His role as HaMoshiach.
If you translate the Greek word for fulfill, “pleroo”, back into Hebrew the word is “kum”, which means confirm. Yeshua said “I have not come to abolish the Law, I have come to confirm it.”
Any way you look at it the antinomian/dispensationalist view of this scripture passage is a huge stretch.
