Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.Maybe I missed it, I am slow to notice things sometimes, but have heaven and earth passed? Thought not

An English version closer to the original Greek:
Matthew 5
18 I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.
The Law will be the same until the mission is accomplished-That mission? The death of the Son of God as wages for the world's sins and then his resurrection. Now that everything is accomplished the law can disappear.

Not to mention the rising and setting of the sun each day, and the law of gravity certain keeps our flesh bodies firmly planted upon earth.
