Sure, ok, how did he fulfill it?

He did for us what we could never do for ourselves. We are, by the fact of our sin nature, lawbreakers. And the Book of James tells us that if one breaks ANY part of the Law, that person is guilty of breaking it all. The Jerusalem council of Acts 15 states that they should not burden the Gentiles who were streaming into the churches with the keeping of the Law of Moses. They admitted in Acts 15:10 that the Law was a yoke that neither they nor their ancestors were able to bear. Jesus kept the Law perfectly and His Blood covers all of our breaking of it.

Are you saying the presence of Gods glory is going to fill another man made temple?

No, I wouldn't go THAT far. But, from the point of view of the Israelis who build it, the building itself may be thought of as holy. It's sort of like some Evangelicals think that their church building is "holy ground"--which is ridiculous, because the first Christians met in homes--and later, in Roman caves. They knew that WE are the Temple of the Holy Spirit. The church building is simply that--a building.

There is no need for the Law when one is truly in Christ. James calls love the "law that sets you free". Where there is love for God and one's fellow man, the idea of murdering, disrespecting one's parents, committing adultery, etc. is repugnant.

Does this mean He’s not subject to mans laws?

Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God. Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things?

There is a Temple pictured in heaven, in the Book of Revelation. The Ark of the Covenant is also pictured there, but Jesus is sitting on the throne next to God the Father

Jesus does not exalt Himself. God the Father speaks from heaven and exalts Jesus at His baptism, for example. Jesus didn't even speak of "so-called god(s) or objects of worship." Not sure where you are coming from--have you been listening to Satanists? They twist all kinds of Scripture up into knots--just as Satan did/does. Satan knows Scripture VERY well--he just twists it. He hates the truth because he is a liar and "the father of lies".

Jesus is God, He opposes so called gods and idol worship.
