Abolish or fulfill the law?

When the Messiah said that He had not come to abolish the law or the prophets but rather to fulfill it, was He referring to the fulfilling of the prophesies about Him in the OT or was He referring - at least as a minimum - to the keeping of the 10 Commandments?

We are still to live the commands! Jesus was the only one who could live the commands perfectly! "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly I tell you, 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. Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 5:17-20)

You don't "live the commands".
Do you go to Jerusalem three times a year for the commanded feasts?

Amen!

You are not a Jew under the Law.

Do you need a commandment to tell you how to live?

Will you murder people if you don't have "Thou shall not murder"?

Rom 6:14 (AKJV/PCE)​
(6:14) For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

That is in the future. After this present dispensation has ended and God resumes His dealings with the world with Israel as the prime nation.
So, you're saying that the need to observe the feast of tabernacles ended at the start of this dispensation and will begin again at the end of it. Seems odd, but ok.

Hypocrite! When is the last time you took a ram without spot or blemish? I'll wait.
The Commandments! The law is not all about sacrifices. Christ is our ultimate sacrifice for our sins. Christ told us that He did not abolish the moral Commandments and law. Christ fulfilled them to be the perfect sacrifice and leader.

Do you travel to Jerusalem for the commanded feasts?

Please QUOTE the scripture that you are referring to.

Israel is not under the Law of Moses..the Oral Laws of the Tanach, are a far cry than the Mosaic Laws of Moses mainly because of the destruction of the temple...The Jews simply do not have a temple to present a sacrifice. thus the Oral Laws.

The Commandments!
1Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to His disciples, 2 saying: “The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. 3 Therefore whatever they tell you to observe, that observe and do,

23 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone.

All to easy...
