Under the Law means dead in our sins. So in a way you are correct. Those who are still "dead" in their sins have not changed one iota. There is a requirement in the Law that demands repentance, which means change. Not change from one set of traditions and doctrines of man to another, but change from following your own mind and traditions, to God's Instructions.
Hebrews 7 is speaking about the Levitical Priesthood Paul calls the "Law of Works". You can deny this if you wish, but your unbelief doesn't make the Word of God void.
If you refuse to accept Paul's teaching that there are two Laws in his time. "Law of Works" (Levitical Priesthood) and "Law of Faith".(Laws Abraham was blessed for obeying)
Abraham didn't have the "Law of Works", he was justified by the Law of Faith "apart" from the Law of Works. I can't make you believe this truth. But it is there in your Bible and mine.
Again, speaking of the Law of Works as it is written. "4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins."
This is the weak and carnal Law Hebrew speaks about. Not the "Good" "just" and "Holy" Law of Faith that defines sin.
He fulfilled some of the Prophesy regarding Him, but not all. He still has to come back and gather from the 4 corners of the earth those who "Do Iniquity", (That means those who reject His Words and create their own Sabbaths, and their own High Days, their own images of God in the likeness of man) and drop them in the Lake of Fire.
So by His own Word He has shown us "ALL" has not been fulfilled. I know you refuse to believe this, but shall your un-belief make the Word of God void? God forbid, let God be true and every man a liar.
Jesus is quoting from Jeremiah 6:16.
16 Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.
And so it is, just as He said.
]The law has only changed for those who are no longer under it.
For those who are still under it the law has not changed one iota.
For those who are still under it the law has not changed one iota.
Hebrews 7:18-19
18 For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.
19 For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.
You can try to make that about the priesthood but its not. Only someone who is led away with the error of the wicked would twist Pauls word to make some of the law fulfilled but not all.

Galatians 3:21-25
21 Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.
22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
23 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.

If there had been a law, any kind of law, that could have given life then our right standing before God would have been by that law.
But there is a disannulling of the law, all of them, for their weakness and unprofitableness in causing us to have right standing before God. Because none of the law could make us perfect. But the bringing in of a new hope could. Which is the Lord Jesus Christ.

Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
John 19:30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
Did the Lord mis-speak?

Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Is the Lord able to do what He says He will do?

16 Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.
And so it is, just as He said.
