In the old testament, it was indeed necessary to make sacrifices to atone for sin, read all the laws in Leviticus. Moses did not lie, until the crucifiction, those sacrifices were necessary. We all sin, only Jesus was sin free. When He was crucified, the sacrifices were no longer necessary, He was the final sacrifice.
You will come across many christians who believe the 144,000 spoken of in Revelation are not 12,000 each of the 12 tribes, "undeflied by women". Many christians believe we get adopted into the tribes as christians. I don't believe this is true, as Revelation is very specific on that. If it was christians, it would say 144,000 believers, wouldn't go into detail about the tribes. This makes you very special, not that you'll be one of the 144,000 that will help lead your people to belief in Christ during the end times, but that you're one of God's chosen people who has seen the light. Many think God sees all christians as the chosen, but again, the bible is very specific about His Chosen people, even names the 12 tribes. He made promises to your ancestors, He keeps His promises. That doesn't mean we gentiles are excluded, on the contrary we're definately mentioned as having a place in His kingdom, but don't let any christians try to tell you that the fact that you're Jewish isn't immensely important. You'll be a beacon during those times to your people, you can teach them, help them come to the truth, which will happen. God became angry with His chosen when they worshipped Baal, hardened their hearts. The bible tells us that during the end times, he will soften their hearts, and they will believe. I believe it will be through Jews that have seen the light that they will come to believe, which makes you so very special.

I will not say that Moses lied no he did not.If you believe in Jesus then do you also believe that when he died on the cross he fullfilled all blood atonement ever needed. In the Old Testamnet htere was blood atonement,after Jesus as crucified on the cross it was no onger needed. I will pray for you for better understanding , a little patience it will come. May God Bless You

Praise to The Lord brother !
It is one of the prophecies, of God and the words in the bible. So it has to happen..... Many Jews will come to accept Jesus as the one, true way to know God.
Lets pray together that God will continue to stir the hearts of more of the Jewish people, Amen.

It is not wrong to believe in jesus, But I would carefully reconsider the reality of the idea that you are a sinner.
Jesus could not have died for something that never existed.
Sin, the idea that God could ever be displeased with you because of something you had done, did not exist when Jesus died, nor does it exist now.
This is a fictitious idea dreamed up to induce guilt and control people.
The moment you start to actually think about this impossible definition of sin the whole concept falls apart and you wonder how you could had ever believed it at all.
Try it, think about the idea from a basis of logic and it quickly becomes apparent that the idea only exists in the minds of those who believe it is real.
Let me assist you a little. Let’s start with the word itself. Where did this word sin come from? In England when archery was practiced as a sport the goal was to try to hit the center of a target. When you actually try to do this you quickly realize just how difficult it is to consistently hit the exact center of the target, or the mark as it was called then. This mark in the center of the target is an elusive goal for even the best archers due to the many variables like, Wind, distance, angle, etc. So they often miss the mark they were hoping to hit. They had a term for this missing the mark; it was called a syn or sin as it is spelled these days. Often the wind would blow an arrow that had been shot with the best of intentions, so far off course that it completely missed the mark it was aimed for. Seeing this a companion might look at the archer with a smile and say that was a syn. Meaning, you missed the mark, you had better try again. At this point he would simply string another arrow, make the necessary corrections to compensate for the wind and try again. This process would continue until he eventually got it right and hit the mark.
What does this have to do with the reality of sin you ask? Remember that you are reading an English bible, a bible that was translated from some other language. When this translation was done English words needed to be found that had a meaning as close as possible to the meaning of the words the bible had used in the other language. Remember the goal of any good translation is to be as faithful as is possible in transferring the original meaning of the work. The English term syn was the word that most completely did this job of transferring the original idea of sin from the original text. In the original biblical intent, sin was not something that God was displeased with you about. It meant that you had tried but your choice was not the best you could have made, you needed to make the necessary corrections and try over.
This is what life is about. Situations confront us on a daily basis, each requiring some response from us. We may chose to respond in one of two ways. We assess the situation and respond from either a basis of love or from a basis of fear. When we respond from our fears we invariably respond in an unloving manner. This unloving response always creates even more negativity. On the other hand if we respond from a basis of love to the situation, it has a calming effect for all who are involved. It may not completely resolve the situation but it never makes things any worse. Through out life each of us alternately chooses both loving and unloving responses as our responses to the situations we are confronted with. The hope being that at some point we will start to notice that one of these strategies creates more chaos, while the other causes chaos to dissipate. This was Gods intent in allowing us to have this experience we call our life. This is why the endless variety of situations and possible responses to these situations confront us on a daily basis. We are expected to experiment with the numerous possible ways to respond and come to our own conclusions about which types of responses best serve our goals.
Most of us quickly realize that we prefer a peaceful calm existence to one of constant turmoil. If we are paying attention to the responses we have been making to the situations we have been confronted with we will notice that some of them, the ones made from a basis of fear intensify chaotic situations. Much like throwing gasoline on a fire would do. While the responses we make from a basis of love have an opposite quelling or calming effect.

The angels are rejoicing over your decision. Please contact a local Christian church and discuss your decision with a minister. You are 100% correct in seeing that the Passover was the buildup to the coming of the Messiah. Jesus is the perfect unblemished Lamb of God who was the blood atonement sacrifice for the sins of humanity. I'm sure you also know that His new covenant is the convenant of redemption.
"Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, and they all drank from it. 'This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many,' he said to them." - Mark 14:23-24
This was the 3rd cup during the Seder - the cup of redemption.
And most of all, He is the afikoman. His broken body was pierced for our transgressions and by His stripes (from the ship marks) we are saved. He was hidden away and now He is resurrected and brings the reward of eternal life in Heaven.
Congratulations on your decision! Feel free to email me with any questions you have, etc.

The true Messiah is the Lord Jesus Christ!
The true Messiah is the Lord Jesus Christ. The Jews rejected Him the first time He was here. He is now in heaven waiting until the Heavenly Father tells Him when to come back to earth. Then the Jews will accept Him as their true Messiah. However, sadly, there will be a false Messiah called the Antichrist who will appear before the Lord Jesus Christ comes back as the true Messiah.
Do you know Jesus Christ as your true Lord and Savior from sin? If not, why not.
The Holy Bible in Hebrews 11:6 says “But without faith it is impossible to please him (God); for he that cometh to God must believe (have faith) that he (God) is, and that he (God) is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him (God).” Parentheses mine!
The only way you can be saved from your sins and go to heaven when you die is to, by faith, acknowledge that Jesus Christ is the only true and living God and the blood Jesus Christ shed for you at Calvary is the only thing that can forgive, remove and cleanse you from all you sins. You must, by faith, acknowledge you are a sinner needing forgiveness of all your sins and turn from all your sins to live for Jesus Christ the rest of your life. You must, by faith, ask Jesus Christ to forgive all your sins and invite Jesus Christ to come into your heart and life to live there forever. You must, by faith, give your heart and life to Jesus Christ to live for Him day by day. You must then, by faith, seek to please Him, love, honor and obey Him as best you know how. You must learn to read The Holy Bible to learn how to live for Him. I pray you will do this today without delay. YOU CAN TALK TO JESUS CHRIST JUST LIKE YOU WERE TALKING TO ANYONE ELSE. HE IS A PERSON JUST LIKE YOU, EXCEPT, OF COURSE, HE IS HOLY AND SINLESS.

The Word also tells us that when the Nation of Israel begin to seek Jesus, He is soon to return. Keep reading your Bible, continue to seek after the mysteries of Christ and pray for wisdom and guidance.
There is more rejoicing over one sinner coming to Christ than 99 just men. Heaven is rejoicing because of your confession my brother.
God bless and keep you.
