Verse 31
"Heaven and earth" is a figure of speech (merism) for all creation (cf. Genesis 1:1). The universe as we know it will end one day (Revelation 21:1), but Jesus’ word will remain. Jesus was referring specifically to His predictions in this chapter, but His statement was general and includes all His words. By saying this about His Word Jesus was implying that He was God (cf. Psalms 102:25-27; Isaiah 40:6-8; Isaiah 51:6). The fulfillment of this prophecy is certain.
