Question about YHWH laws of sacraficing?

The Lord God prescribed daily sacrafices, sacrafices when children were born, sacrafices for sins, tresspasses, favors, etc.

Jesus did not stop sacrafices, only around the 1700's could common, and some middle class, afford a book written about Jesus. And the Jews surely did not believe Jesus gave them authority to stop sacrafices?

So what prevented Jews, and Israelites, from dis obeying thier God's laws for sacrafices?

    When the Romans destroyed the Temple, sacrifices ceased. The Temple was the only place sacrifices could be offered, so since it has not been rebuilt, there have been no sacrifices. Currently, there is a mosque (the Dome of the Rock) sitting on the site of the Temple, so the Temple can't be rebuilt until/unless the Dome is destroyed and the site can be ritually cleansed according to the old rules. There are Ultra-Orthodox jews who are raising cattle according to the rules of ritual purity, so sacrifices can be resumed immediately in that event.

    Anything about Jesus' "sacrifice" is irrelevant to the Jews - they don't believe that. It was originally proposed as an explanation why Gentile believers didn't have to become Jewish and offer sacrifice at the Temple.

    The animal sacrifices were part of the Mosiac Law Covenant between the ancient nation of Israel and Jehovah God. They were in place to remind the Israelites that they were sinners. Christs sacrificial blood (death on a torture stake) paid the ultimate price for forgiveness of sins. Animal sacrifices were not longer necessary.

    Jesus died on the Cross, after that people carried his message, of life, after death, by obeying him. But some nations either did not no him, or did not care for him, and continude to sacrafice to thier Gods "for many reasons, not just cause they sinned?" So what made them stop? Must have been the Roman Empire? So what made all these nations stop obeying thier Gods, Molech, Baal, YHWH? People or Jesus? People, the Romans, who made money off selling animals for food, while people like Solomom was sacraficing 100.000.00 animals at a time to his God YHWH? Yet, the Romans turned and worshipped YHWH, and Jesus, and they lost all thier power? Now America worships YHWH, and Jesus, so are we next to fall like Rome? Jews want Israel, they want Jerusalem, and YHWH promised to rebuild a new temple. So is America being used to give Jerusalem back to the Jews? And are we digging our own graves?

    i guess you haven't read ... Jesus , the Lamb of God ... sacrificed for the sins of the world.

    what does this MEAN ?

    it means the animal sacrifice in OT is ... replaced ... w Jesus, the Lamb of God.

    the animal sacrifice in OT was a ... shadow ... of Jesus, sacrificing Himself on the cross.

    The destruction of their temple in AD 70 which Jesus foretold prevented these sacrifices. They were made there.

    He also clearly stated how all the prophecies pointed to Him the final sacrifice for sin. Jesus fulfilled the law, covenant. A fulfilled covenant or contract is void when it is fulfilled. It is no longer in force.

    Please read the book of Hebrews where this is explained carefully.

    Jesus was the perfect sacrifice to mankind so sacrificing animals were stopped and it was was very terrible thing to sacrifice animals, the blood gushing down from the throat of an animal and God did something different by sending His son.
