" Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. (Matthew 5:17) "
In scripture Jesus says, “Think not that I come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy BUT to Fulfil. This very scripture is taken out of context amongst a group of people, with an understanding that is error; presenting this scripture as the answer to why we are suppose to keep the Laws of Moses but I say to you that Christ’s interpretation of Matthew 5:17 is persuading us that He didn’t come to Destroy the law nor the prophets that preached & prophesied what was to Come, but he’s fulfilling the laws in scriptures. Before the New Testament, which is Christ coming in flesh here on Earth to preach salvation & remission of sins, in “Old Testament“ Christ was prophesied in scripture by prophets which was to come. That’s why he said he didn’t come to destroy the laws that they had preached, as if the scripture that they brought forth no longer was needed or of none affect, but He’s now here to fulfil everything prophesied. He is that very law, commandment, statute, judgment that those prophets, His messengers spoke, concerning the things to come. Just as in Isaiah 42:1, “Behold my servant, whom I uphold: mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth: I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgement to the Gentiles.(v 2) He shall not cry, Nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the Street. This very scripture was prophesied by Esaias, & NOW Fulfilled looking at Matthew 12:17-21. Even in Isaiah 49:6, “I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth, which is fulfilled in Luke Chapter 2, yet looking at verses 25-32; Seeing that Simeon would see the Lord Christ, who is Salvation, (vs 30-31) which was written aforetime that he would come for the people, a light to lighten the Gentiles and the Glory of the people Israel. Seeing many things prophesied throughout the Old Testament was fulfilled when Christ appeared in flesh.

* didn't go deep into the Laws , I just wanted to point out the understanding of the scripture Matthew 5:17 , which the " Hebrew Israelite's " have pointed out as the scripture is to why we are still under the law, which we are Not.. Jesus Christ is the end of the Law.
