Listen to the heart..
Indeed, since a student of religious truths and principles considers the great prayers and concepts shared in all traditions and cultures, they being universal in nature.
The Shema is a call for God's people towards 'community', a heart awakening to worship The One true Creator, which also recognizes the creative intelligence and spirit of life that permeates creation. There is no other source but that One....the One and Only life, light, essence, being, consciousness...of all and all. 'God', the sole absolute reality and source-potential of all that exists. Every reading of this prayer calls to mind the unity at the heart of Creator and Creation.
Since God is the king of the universe,....the name of his kingdom is also revered forever. This blessing is also mirrored in the Lord's Prayer....and the salutations before the throne.
"Blessed be the Name of His glorious kingdom for ever and ever"
"For yours is the kingdom, the power and the glory forever and ever"

You are correct. Jesus did not fulfill any of the Messianic Prophecy of the Hebrew Scriptures.
The reality is that we have no evidence that Jesus accomplished anything to improve mankind's life here on earth beyond dying for the sins of the world. Any skeptic can strongly argue that there does not exist any evidence that sins have been forgiven. Belief is really having faith.
Solid evidence that there is just one God...our Father in Heaven whose name is Yod He Vav He

You do not understand the truth.
Matthew 5:17-20 NASB - 17 "Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill. 18 "For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished. 19 "Whoever then annuls one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever keeps and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 "For I say to you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.

This is where you fail to show that it's 'kaballah' and yet still pretend you're right and hadn't just pulled something right out your rear
From the "Zohar" - the Book of Light which is kabbalah:
Chapter 1
1. With 32 wondrous paths of Wisdom engrave Yah, and create His universe (did Jah, engrave his name) with three books, with text, with number, and with communication (Sound).
2. Ten Sefirot plus twenty two letters: Three Mothers, Seven Doubles, and Twelve Elementals.
3. Ten Sefirot of Nothingness: The number of the fingers, five opposite five, (as there are in man five fingers over against five) with a single covenant precisely in the middle, like the circumcision of the tongue and the circumcision of the membrum (phallus) (by word of mouth, and by the circumcision of the flesh).
4. Ten Sefirot of Nothingness: Ten and not nine; ten and not eleven. Understand with Wisdom, and be wise with Understanding. Examine with them and probe them, make a thing stand on its essence, and make the Creator sit on his base (replace Him who formed it upon his throne).
5. Ten Sefirot of Nothingness: Their measure is ten which have no end. A depth of beginning, a depth of end; a depth of good, a depth of evil; a depth of above, a depth below; a depth east, a depth west; a depth north, a depth south (6 directions in space). The singular Master, God faithful King, dominates them all from His holy dwelling until eternity of eternities.
6. Ten Sefirot of Nothingness: Their vision is like the "appearance of lightning", their limit has no end. His Word in them is "running and returning" [The Word is in them as they rush forth and as they return.] They rush to his saying like a whirlwind, and before His throne they prostrate themselves.
7. Ten Sefirot of Nothingness: Their end is embedded in their beginning, and their beginning in their end, like a flame in a burning coal. For the Master is singular, He has no second. And before One, what do you count?
8. Ten Sefirot of Nothingness: Bridle your mouth from speaking and your heart from thinking (meditate). And if your heart runs, return to the place, as it is written, "The Chayot running and returning" (the living creatures ran and returned) (Ezekiel 1:14). Regarding this a covenant was made.
9. Ten Sefirot of Nothingness: One is the Breath of the Living God, blessed and benedicted be the Name of the Life of worlds. Voice, Breath and Speech. This is the Holy Breath (Ruach HaKodesh).
10. Two: Breath from Breath (from the Spirit He produced Air). With it engrave and carve twenty-two foundation letters - three, Mothers, seven Doubles, and twelve Elementals - and one Breath is from them.
11. Three: Water from Breath. With it engrave and carve chaos and void, mire and clay. Engrave them like a garden plot, carve them like a wall, cover them like a ceiling.
12. Four: Fire from water. With it engrave and carve the Throne of Glory (cube), Seraphim, Ophanim, holy Chayot, and Ministering Angels. From the three establish His dwelling, as it is written, "He makes His angels of breaths (spirits), His ministers from flaming fire" (Psalms 104:4).
13. Five: With three of the simple letters seal "above". Choose three and place them in His great Name: YHV. With them seal the six extremities (directions in space). Face upward and seal it with YHV.
Six: Seal "below". Face downward and seal it with YVH.
Seven: Seal "east. Face straight ahead and seal it with HYV.
Eight: Seal "west". Face backward and seal it with HVY
Nine: Seal "south". Face to the right and seal it with VYH.
Ten: Seal "north". Face to the left and seal it with VHY.
14. These are the Ten Sefirot of Nothingness. One is the Breath of the Living God. Breath [from Breath], Fire [from water, and the extremities], up, down, east, west, north and south.
Other traditions having similarities simply illustrates man's common ascent from Adam and Eve. Even Noah and the Deluge appears in the literature of other cultures, including many Asians who largely were separate from biblical history altogether.
The Scriptures say nothing about speaking the letter YHWH as being the breath of God. That is mysticism, pure and simple, which according to God is witchcraft aka incantations. I will stick with His actual words in Scripture. Thanx.

Then you should be able to see that Jesus fulfilled all of the OT.

God's Name is Hayah Asher Hayah. Lord is a description of who is He.

Because that is what He calls Himself - one of many names/terms.

No, Jesus did not come to bring world peace. He said, My peace is not what the world gives. It is for those in Him, only. Peace reigns eternally in Him regardless of what is happening on earth.
Jesus is referring to the shema here.

The NT never stated that God died. God did not die, but Jesus who was God manifest in the flesh, died. Jesus died physically, but He remained God, committed His Spirit to the Father and on the third day where He body lay in the grave, raised Himself from the dead, as commanded by His Father. Don't let the mystery of it throw you into a tailspin.

Children of God are the seed of Jesus Christ aka believers.

Grave with the wicked simply means He died, His physical body in the grave like a humanbeing. But God promised His body would not see corruption [per David]- that is why He was raised the third day.
What is it that you recite?

Do you ever recite the Lord's Prayer or Eph 1 or Col 1 or Eph 3? Those are the prayers of a believer in Jesus.
Matthew uses the phrase "Kingdom of Heaven" 31 times in his gospel. However the other Gospel writers never use the phrase "Kingdom of Heaven." Instead they use the phrase "Kingdom of God" as a equivalent term for "Kingdom of Heaven." IMO there is no hint in the Hebrew Scriptures that God's kingdom is a heavenly kingdom. Messianic prophecy speaks of a kingdom of this world. As such Matthew's use of "kingdom of Heaven is just a substitute phrase because of the Jews reluctance to use the title "God."
Jesus made this point when he taught his disciples to pray...Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
According to Mark, the women purchased the spices after the Sabbath……..Mark 16:1
“”When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices, so that they might come and anoint Him.””
According to Luke, the women purchased the spices before the Sabbath..Luke 23:56
“”Then they returned and prepared spices and perfumes And on the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.””
But according to John, Nicodemus brought the spices to the burial. John 19:39
“”Nicodemus, who had first come to Him by night, also came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds weight.””
So to recap………
Mark says the women purchased the spices after the Sabbath and on Easter Sunday they brought the spices to the tomb.
Luke says the women purchased the spices before the Sabbath and on Easter Sunday they brought the spices to the tomb.
John says Nicodemus brought the spices to the burial, very roughly three days before Easter Sunday. The women were at the burial, so if this story was for real, they knew about the 100 LBS of spices that supposedly Nicodemus had brought. Does one suppose that when the women came on Easter Sunday, they were bringing more spices because 100LBS was not quite spicy enough? Does one suppose that the women expected to unwrap the corpse, add some salt and pepper, and then rewrap the corpse?
Of course, I wonder why they bothered to spice the corpse in the first place. The Apostle Paul often quoted Psalm 16:10 and claimed it was about Jesus...
“”For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol; Nor will You allow Your Holy One to undergo decay.””
I wonder if the early Christians expected God to keep Jesus from decay, or were they relying on lots of spices?
Isaiah 2:4 King James Version (KJV)
And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
Since the Messiah of the Hebrew Scriptures will bring world peace, are you asserting that jesus is not the legitimate messiah?
