Jesus confirmed and completed the Law and Prophets Jesus came neither to abolish the law, nor to preserve every typological jot of it until the end of time. Therefore, some jots and tittles of the law have passed away - but by no means all. I will show that Jesus, by the word "fulfill," meant that he would confirm and complete the prophetic and typological parts of the law and prophets.
