Matthew 5:18 (not a jot or tittle will pass) is about how the Law will not be stripped piecemeal, not about its perpetual applicability

The Hebrew Roots interpretation reads "until heaven and earth pass away" as a condition meaning the Law remains in effect as long as the current cosmos exists. Winger argues the verse is about the integrity of Jesus's fulfillment: he will accomplish every part of the Law completely—nothing will be left undone. It is a statement about totality of fulfillment, not duration of obligation. This connects to the anti-Pharisee polemic: the Pharisees had distorted the Law by adding traditions; Jesus will accomplish the undistorted whole.
