Is according to Jews everything God's will?

In the Tanakh, salvation refers to being saved by very earthly foes, such as slavery in Egypt, or David being surrounded by those who want to kill him. The Tanakh doesn't talk about being "delivered from sin." Of course it does talk about repentance and God's mercy and forgiveness. But your whole theology of needing a perfect sacrifice etc., is utterly missing.

When a child breaks the rules of the parents, they are disciplined, but the ultimate result is reconciliation between parent and child.

God is different from a parent. God is a judge. We are not born members of God's family. When we accept Christ we become members of God's family.

There is nothing in the Tanakh about the Messiah bringing inner peace. It's a made up thing.

The Messiah being a prophet like unto Moses means that the Messiah would teach us how to live. Deuteronomy 18:15

The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;

We are NOT separated from God. He hears the prayer of every repentant heart.

In God's eyes, even the best of us is a criminal condemned before the judge of a holy God. That is why Christ stepped down from his glory to come and die for our sins-to make a bridge between God and humanity.
