Jesus told his disciples to keep his law (Mt 22:37-40; Gal 6:2; Ro 13: 8, 9, 10).
Jesus lived during and under the law.
Yes, he kept it perfectly, and his disciples kept it as well, for they also lived under it and the old covenant.
There is no old covenant nor Mosaic regulations with the new covenant.

It's not irrelevant. . .being unfulfilled prophetic riddles, it's just subject to uncertain private interpretation.
Many of God's people interpret it to mean things entirely different.
But one thing is certain, whatever the book of Revelation does mean, it will be in agreement with the clear and certain teaching of NT word of God, including Lk 17:20-21 and Da 2:44, where the interpretation of the riddle is given by Daniel.

'the issue is trust in regulations , not regulations --
Jesus rebuked the TORAH teachers, but
told his disciples to keep TORAH, by and in faith and obedience to YAHWEH HIS FATHER.'

Why WOULD Jesus, who if you want to put it simply, was the Living Torah in the flesh/bone, the Word of God in the Flesh, why would Jesus 'tell' His disciples to 'keep' that and follow it.. AFTER HE FULFILLED it for them? Christ ,was the LIVING TORAH< the Word of God in the flesh, who did what no other man or High Priest could do, fulfill the Law Perfectly in the Flesh.. The Author of the Torah, the Living Word, telling His disciples to 'keep the Torah to fulfill its commands, when He ALREADY did that for them thru His Vicarious Appeasement at the Tree? thru His blood? and thru Faith in His Atoning Work and Perfect Life, Made Righteous thru the Father's Imputation of Christ's Righteousness upon true Salvation and belief on Him, which is the WorK of God, Jesus said... do you see your contradictions? the One Whose Purpose was to fulfill the Law in His flesh, turn around and tell His Disicples they must 'keep the Torah'. and continue to follow it to be kept Righteous'.. One cannot 'claim' that call himself/herself a Regenerated Christian, born again Genuinely.. nope.. loz... smh..... Im a christian but Im working to keep myself 'righteous'.. mmmm A BIG PROBLEM WITH THAT! yikes!

Good question. . .I was not completely clear on that.
Sacrifices relating to vows were not sin sacrifices.
The sin sacrifices ceased with the once-for-all sin sacrifice of Christ.
To be all things to all men that he might win some to Christ, to those under the law Paul would become as one under the law, although he himself was not under the law (1Co 9:20-21).

God always Reserves a Remnant unto Himself, a remnant according to the Election of Grace... this Based on God , not man... you see that even into Revelation, as a 'remnant' is reserved out of the Great Tribulation, protected in the Wilderness.. these will go into the 1000 year Literal Reign of Christ to repopulate the Earth that has been devasted by the Wrath of God and the wrath of the living devil. *as does He have His Remnant Alive and well Today...-------> His Elect, SOME ARE ON HERE.. indeed! * A remnant according to the Election of Grace*... that usually stirs the man made (working for your salvation) gospel hounds (tares) into a tizzy.. lolz.. cause they are shown Salvation , Its Merits, are Grounded in God's Election and His Grace.. oh Indeed!
so are the ones who Claim Christ , to know Him, yet demand man to follow and adhere to the Law/ Torah etc. to maintain one's Righteousness.. lolz.. those are called 'tares-weeds'. the JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH, Faith in the Sons' completed Work at the Tree, His Perfect Life He Gave for those He would call, to be Sufficient for God the FAther to say, there is My Righteous one! and He does do just that! all the merits on Christ, and His work, Christ's Righteousness Imputed to them, Justified in the Eyes of the FAther, not their ability to claim christ, then try to 'fufill' what He has already Fulfilled.. smh.. so much of that on here.. I guess the Weeds-Tares are definately growing and ripening.. only to a Certain point, then God Himself will start that Combine, time to collect His Good Seed into the Hoppa! the weeds chaff to the Fire! indeed!

I beg to differ on that.
Read all of what I have to say, and then just think on it. My main point is try to think of it from the Pharisees POV in this topic [if thats what you want to call it].
We see in Matthew there comes up the issue of washing hands. And I'm not talking about the issue itself, I'm talking about how it was presented.
In Matthew
Then the scribes and Pharisees who were from Jerusalem came to Jesus, saying, [SUP]2 [/SUP]“Why do Your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.”
Note here they did mention Yeshua disciples, not Him. Which means that Yeshua did was His hands. Now on top of that, from my understanding and research, the washing of hands is oral Torah tradition. It is not actual a command in the Torah, the only time Torah really mention washing of hands is when in the tabernacle preparing and offering/sacrifice. So based off of this I do believe Yeshua was also following parts of the oral Torah.
Now for the phrase "tradition of the elders", this was a phrase used by Pharisees only, the Saducees didn't use this wording. So for the Pharisees to use this type of terminology with Yeshua, means that one either Yeshua Himself was a priest of God, or the Pharisees are under the impression that Yeshua was a priest of God.
Now with the religious leaders making this assumption with Yeshua, I would highly believe that Yeshua had some from of priestly anointing.

Jesus came to die as a ransom for many (Mt 20:28).
Teaching the law was not his primary assignment.
That would be an assumption on your part, that Jesus was eating at the time (Mk 7:1-2, 5), and that he also washed his hands.
Assumption again. . .that it means either one of those.
It means they considered him a rabbi (Jn 3:2; 6:25), not a priest.
