Kingdom of God

This may seem completely out of line with your post but to me- forget about everything but the bottom line.... all the rest is only distraction.
You talk about govermental, political 'stuff' ....
Jesus' kingdom was NOT of this world- it was a kingdom of the Spirit. THAT is what the Chosen People of God NEEDED. What ALL mankind has always needed! We were created FOR God!! But we forgot it along the way because of neglect, self love and a selfish will. We were made for God to be intermingled within us. So few remembered ... His truth to us was getting lost. So He needed something that would unite ALL EYES to one magnificient event .To this day, even the world's calendar is affected by it.
Jesus was God clothed in flesh... Jesus didn't WANT people to WORSHIP HIM... He was simply the WAY to God the Father. If you study the scriptures, His ministry was about POINTING people to God the Father. Just as Moses, David, John and so many other great men did.
On a different note, the Spirit of God was given to us by Jesus.... it was part of the NEW Covenant/Promise that came from the Father. Man did not have to DO all the rituals and purification processes to receive God's Spirit within his spirit- it was given by Jesus as a gift from the Father... not only for Jews but for Gentiles (like myself). What a gracious, wonderful God to include ME into His kingdom.
You are Jewish - a chosen race. You have writings that are sooo ancient and amazing to study. Because I KNOW God, I will encourage you to simply seek TRUTH. You know, there is so much available to you AND you understand it since it is part of your heritage/culture. Things I, as a Gentile, American woman, would have to study for years. It would be so EASY for you to find -- it is readily available.
I encourage you --- OPEN your heart, seek and you WILL find. If you're gutsy, you will ask GOD to SHOW you the truth. But THAT will take courage AND perserverance. IF you study your Jewish laws, then look at the life of Jesus Christ, you may see that He fullfilled and LIVED out ALL that God asked of him. If you're afraid to GO there, just follow after God and search for (and live out) the PURPOSE of the Laws of God... find the bottom line. The WHY of the law. The Kabbalah.
My studies have brought me personally to the sect of the Essenes AND also the Nazarene sect that Joesph, Mary and certainly Jesus were a part of. Study them. There are answers there. It WILL LEAD you to what God wants you to KNOW in the deepest depths of your heart and spirit. That is where God communes with us- that's what Jesus tried to teach during his time on this earth. As I said before and let me say again, his kingdom.was.not.of.this.world. it was spiritual in nature.
Study Orthodox Jewish teachings, then study writings of Messianic Jewish Rabbis. Do they all line up? Absolutely yes.
It is not watering DOWN of God's Law and teaching-- but 'following' the LAW got too much in the way of a PERSONAL relationship with JHVH God. We were created for that.... and we lost it along the way.
I hope you WILL search this out. Don't turn a blind eye and heart to the truth that is there for you to FIND -- pray. ask God to reveal HIS truth. fast. look into your spirit to find the God of your fathers. You have ALL the tools :)
May you find Go`ali
Shalom
