Here's a fairly brief understanding of the second covenant. It's not that he abolished the old law but he fulfilled it. It wasn't that they went away, it's that we weren't beholden to the written laws because they were laws used to condemn. The new laws were written in our hearts and mind. Jesus said they wouldn't change because he gave us the key to understand their original intent and overall theme is to love God with everything and Love your neighbor as yourself. Our salvation isn't won by following a checklist of laws, the fact we've been saved is shown through behavior that exemplifies the laws on our heart. My point was though, if another temple opened up, you'd probably be seeing sacrifices burnt a it.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
