Have Heaven and Earth Already Passed Away? (Matthew 5:18)
Does Matthew 5:18 teach that heaven and earth have already passed away? Some argue that Yeshua was referring to the destruction of the temple in 70 AD and that God's Law passed away with it. In this teaching, we examine Matthew 5 alongside 2 Peter 3, Revelation 21, and the broader testimony of Scripture to determine what "heaven and earth" really means and why this question matters for understanding the continuing authority of God's Torah.
