This is what the book of Deuteronomy has to say about the oppressive, burdensome sacrificial system:

ch12 - You shall eat your sacrifices before YHWH your God and rejoice before him.
ch14 - You shall eat there before YHWH your God and rejoice.
ch16 - You shall rejoice before YHWH your God.
ch26 - You shall rejoice in all the good that YHWH your God has given to you and to your house.
ch27 - You shall rejoice before YHWH your God.

I don't know how anyone survived it.

You hit it right on the head (or is that nerve for some people ?).

As a modern-Christian I didn't understand that many of the sacrifices were joyous as it was for thanksgiving as well. The entire animal wasn't burnt up or given to the Levites each time. That was only for certain sacrifices.

This and many other verses now confirms to me that certain sacrifices should still be undertaken and will be continued on the new earth.

I believe we all agree that Yeshua paid the final sacrifice as the ultimate sacrifice for the forgivenes of our sin, but was He also the last:

burnt offering
grain offering
peace offering

Why would the daily sacrifices commence in the New Jerusalem if there is no need for it (and if there is no death; at least for animals... ?)?

Perhaps the healing of the tree of life is for the nations that do not reside in new jerusalem. The saints are the only ones who will be living and ruling from there. The nations are outside new jerusalem, carrying on as they are intended to, according to Torah. I think they will be prone to sin still, after the millenial reign when satan is loosed, but they will have a taste of "heaven" under Yah's rule, so perhaps less will be tempted. The sacrifices are described as a sweet savor to Yah...everyone loves the smell of a good bbq! Its like burning incense, only we get to eat it! Yes, animals and people will be at peace with each other, but maybe the return of peace means the animals realize their roles in the new world as well, so are willing to go to the slaughter, like sheep do?

I chose my wording poorly. I didnt mean it in the traditional sense, but in the sense that we are to be priests over the nations. More like servants than rulers.
