I have been studying the complete Jewish Bible (by David Stern), and the Complete Tanakh (Chabad.org) along with the King James, New American Standard, Lexham English, and a couple interlinear Bibles. Since years ago it dawned on me that the scriptures the New Testament writers referred to were the Old Testament Tanakh. The New Testament had not been completed or canonized yet. It also dawned on me that any witness I could make to a Jewish person would have to be strictly from the Old Testament Tanakh.

Since then the Holy Spirit has been blessing in ways I'd like to share and discuss here. And I am interested to learn of anything he has shown you also .

To start the ball rolling, Jeremiah 31:31-34 / Yirimyahu 31:30-33 (CT)

Jeremiah 31:31–34 (KJV)
31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD:
33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

Yirimyahu 31:
30Behold, days are coming, says the Lord, and I will form a covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, a new covenant.להִנֵּ֛ה יָמִ֥ים בָּאִ֖ים נְאֻם־יְהֹוָ֑ה וְכָֽרַתִּ֗י אֶת־בֵּ֧ית יִשְׂרָאֵ֛ל וְאֶת־בֵּ֥ית יְהוּדָ֖ה בְּרִ֥ית חֲדָשָֽׁה:
31Not like the covenant that I formed with their forefathers on the day I took them by the hand to take them out of the land of Egypt, that they broke My covenant, although I was a lord over them, says the Lord.לאלֹ֣א כַבְּרִ֗ית אֲשֶׁ֚ר כָּרַ֙תִּי֙ אֶת־אֲבוֹתָ֔ם בְּיוֹם֙ הֶֽחֱזִיקִ֣י בְיָדָ֔ם לְהֽוֹצִיאָ֖ם מֵאֶ֖רֶץ מִצְרָ֑יִם אֲשֶׁר־הֵ֜מָּה הֵפֵ֣רוּ אֶת־בְּרִיתִ֗י וְאָֽנֹכִ֛י בָּעַ֥לְתִּי בָ֖ם נְאֻם־יְהֹוָֽה:
32For this is the covenant that I will form with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will place My law in their midst and I will inscribe it upon their hearts, and I will be their God and they shall be My people.לבכִּ֣י זֹ֣את הַבְּרִ֡ית אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֶכְרֹת֩ אֶת־בֵּ֨ית יִשְׂרָאֵ֜ל אַֽחֲרֵ֨י הַיָּמִ֚ים הָהֵם֙ נְאֻם־יְהֹוָ֔ה נָתַ֚תִּי אֶת־תּֽוֹרָתִי֙ בְּקִרְבָּ֔ם וְעַל־לִבָּ֖ם אֶכְתֳּבֶ֑נָּה וְהָיִ֚יתִי לָהֶם֙ לֵֽאלֹהִ֔ים וְהֵ֖מָּה יִֽהְיוּ־לִ֥י לְעָֽם:
33And no longer shall one teach his neighbor or [shall] one [teach] his brother, saying, "Know the Lord," for they shall all know Me from their smallest to their greatest, says the Lord, for I will forgive their iniquity and their sin I will no longer remember.לגוְלֹ֧א יְלַמְּד֣וּ ע֗וֹד אִ֣ישׁ אֶת־רֵעֵ֜הוּ וְאִ֚ישׁ אֶת־אָחִיו֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר דְּע֖וּ אֶת־יְהֹוָ֑ה כִּֽי־כוּלָּם֩ יֵֽדְע֨וּ אוֹתִ֜י לְמִקְּטַנָּ֚ם וְעַד־גְּדוֹלָם֙ נְאֻם־יְהֹוָ֔ה כִּ֚י אֶסְלַח֙ לַֽעֲו‍ֹנָ֔ם וּלְחַטָּאתָ֖ם לֹ֥א אֶזְכָּר־עֽוֹד:

The new covenant the LORD makes with Judah and Israel will be unlike the old covenant.
Unlike the old covenant the new will put God's law in their hearts.
Unlike the old covenant the new will identify the LORD so that all know him.
Unlike the old covenant the new will grant eternal forgiveness of sin.

Greeting, I am glad to hear that you've had those insights, you might also be interested in this study on finding Yeshua in the Books of Moses:

I have a book I recently accessed and will go look for it later that shows how Yeshua is all over the OT. Also there is a bible that proposes that he is there in the form of a word not translated in English and not known to be looked for until the Revelation was written. It is called the Alef-tav bible and is only the Hebrew part. I have one if you are interested in any particular passage I can look up for you.:

Greeting, I am glad to hear that you've had those insights, you might also be interested in this study on finding Yeshua in the Books of Moses:

Toda Raba.

I was witnessing to a fellow whose screen name is Moshe on Quora Digest on this very subject. Messiah in Torah.

I began with the seed of the woman (Bereshith 3:15) and Devarim 18:15 the new covenant bearer (which set Moshe apart from the rest of the neviim) referring to the New Covenant (Yirimyahu 31:30-34). And how the patriarch Yosef prophetically lived out what the ultimate Moshiakh Yeshua would in that he would be rejected by his kinsmen, thrown into the pit, raised from the pit, gain prominence among the Goyum while his kinsment do not recognize him until the end when he is revealed.

I will give what you suggested a listen!

The aqedah (Bereshith 22) is prophetic about the ultimate Messiah Yeshua who would go through with what he stopped Abraham from doing at the very last second. In the place where Abraham was told to sacrifice Yitzkhak.
