Yep. After Jesus was crucified, religious Israel wrestled for the next 40 years with the internal tension created by Jesus’ New Covenant. Religious Israel tried hard to stamp it out, but it kept growing. Due to the tireless efforts of Apostle Peter, and James (the brother of Jesus and the leader of the church in Jerusalem), and Apostle Paul and others, real Jewish Christians throughout the Roman Empire began abandoning their strict adherence to the Mosaic Law and started following the resurrected Jesus instead.
Then the transition came to a quick end, on August 6th in AD 70. The four-year war between Rome and the Jewish rebels came to a violent conclusion. The Jewish temple (the very heart of ancient Judaism) was looted and burned and razed to the ground. Its complete destruction signaled the end of ancient Judaism ~ just as Jesus Himself predicted. The words of the Old Covenant were preserved, but Israel’s ability to live in accordance with those words disappeared in a single day.
Ancient Judaism...as prescribed by Moses at Mount Sinai...ceased to exist. To use Jesus’ term, it “disappeared.” Not a single person…including real Jews or pretend Jews…has practiced ancient Judaism in nearly 2,000 years. And for someone to cherry-pick 2% of the Law of Moses that they’re gonna abide by, while completely ignoring the other 98% of the Law of Moses, and then claim that they’re ‘walking in obedience to Torah’ is comical to the Nth degree. Saying that you abide by the “Big 10” and the Saturday sabbath and not eating frog legs or pork chops is a far cry from ‘keeping Torah’ and following the Mosaic Law. Clearly.
