Zone1 Must the Christians of today follow the rules of Leviticus?

Yes he was. Pharoah's daughter saw he was when she pulled him out of the river.
She observed that he was a Hebrew, not a Jew. Both of Moses parents were Levites.
 
what was Moses, then?
Levi.
For the MILLIONTH TIME:
Jews are the children of the tribe of JUDAH
There are 12 Tribes.
What we know today are descendants of JUDAH, with some Levi and Benjamin.
There are also many who convert to Judaism (the RELIGION)

They are all the Children of Israel. All the tribes were represented when they came back to Canaan.

2 Chronicles 11:16 makes it clear that there were also people from other tribes who moved into the Southern Kingdom. So any descendants might be from other tribes also.
 
They are all the Children of Israel. All the tribes were represented when they came back to Canaan.
They soon divided up the land according to their tribes, so they were 'tribally distinct' until the split and they were subsequently conquered and dispersed. Even Genesis 49 has distinct prophecies concerning them in the latter days.

After the split some from the northern kingdom did visit Jerusalem to worship, but they returned to the north.
 

where does it say that they returned north?

2 Chronicles 31:1

Now when all this was finished, all Israel that were present went out to the cities of Judah, and brake the images in pieces, and cut down the groves, and threw down the high places and the altars out of all Judah and Benjamin, in Ephraim also and Manasseh, until they had utterly destroyed them all. Then all the children of Israel returned, every man to his possession, into their own cities.

you are linking two events separated by 200 years?

Well, 200 years is a long time.

2Chronicles 30:5

"So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beersheba even to Dan, that they should come to keep the passover unto the Lord God of Israel at Jerusalem: for they had not done it of a long time in such sort as it was written."

yes, exactly my point.

Israel and Judah warred against each other frequently. It is certain that some of the Kings of Judah wanted to reunite Israel as one. However these wars prevented that from happening. Finally Israel was conquered by the Assyrians which largely put an end to those hopes. Israel was conquered during the reign of king Hezekiah of Judah who invited the "remnant" of the northern kingdom that had escaped capture by the Assyrians to come to Jerusalem and keep the passover, likely hoping for a reunification as well. His offer was rebuffed by most of the remaining Israelites.

but there were already members of other tribes who had been living in the Kingdom for 200 years. You are talking about 2 different groups.

Of course, but Bible history doesn't address them much. The importance of the remnant that escaped Assyrian captivity (or were not useful enough or a threat to the Assyrians) is that they are those "which sat in (spiritual) darkness" until Jesus began to minister to them, "the lost sheep of the house of Israel".
