The Law of Moses was a Success

Many people claim the Law given through Moses did not work so Jehovah came up with a replacement plan, Jesus. That is not correct.

The Law of Moses was never intended for any people other than the descendants of Abraham/Isaac. And while governing the lives of Abraham/Isaac's descendants everyone else, the descendants of Ishmael and others not descended from Abraham, were acceptable to God when they did "naturally" the moral teachings of the Law.

The purpose of the Law was to keep Abraham/Isaac's descendants together long enough to bring forth Messiah. Once that happened there was no further purpose for the Law.

Once God chose Abraham/Isaac he had to work with them. At anytime the creator of every thing visible and not visible could have done away with them or could have eliminated "free-will.' Either would have left humankind separated from God without Messiah.

While the Law of Moses stopped at the cross the Gentiles continued to be pleasing to God when they did naturally the things of the Law (moral teachings) at least up to Cornelius.

The Law of Moses did not fail. It was not a mistake. It fulfilled Jehovah's purpose. In the fullness of time Messiah was born and the world changed for everyone.
