According to The Bible, when Adam sinned, he passed sin and death on to all mankind (Genesis 3:19/Job 34:15/Romans 5:12/Ezekiel 18:4), so God's first prophecy addressed this at Genesis 3:15, saying that he would send someone who would rectify things. This promise was supported throughout the scriptures and eventually spelled-out in the Mosaic Law. Abraham was called "God's friend" (James 2:23/2 Chronicles 20:7) because of his obedience, trust and love for God(Genesis 22:16+17). Because of this, his descendants (the Israelites(Isaiah 41:8))would be blessed with the privilege of representing the God of the Universe, and providing a lineage for the coming Messiah.(Genesis 18:18/Galatians 3:14/2 Samuel 7:12-16/Romans 1:3/Luke 1:32)
The 'Law', of which Moses was the mediator(Exodus 20:19/Deuteronomy 5:5), was provided to 'make transgressions manifest' (Galatians 3:19) and to become a 'tutor leading to Christ'(Galatians 3:23-25). The Law 'made manifest' (or obvious)to the Israelites that, thanks to Adam, they sin every day inevitably, and that, to be pleasing to God, something more was needed(Hebrews 10:1-4). Something that would balance out the imperfection. Sin causes death(Romans 5:12/6:23), it 'costs something', and can only be atoned for by something very valuable. Blood. (Hebrews 9:19+20) Thus the animal sacrifices. These directed attention to the coming Messiah as the ultimate sacrifice, who would, by remaining faithful to God and 'pouring out his blood'(dying), fulfill and end the Mosaic Law covenant (Colossians 2:13+14). He would then begin a NEW covenant (Jeremiah 31:31+32/Hebrews 10:16/Luke 22:20), eventually open up the way to salvation for all faithful people on earth from all nations(Genesis 22:15-18/Acts 10:34+35)and bring a final end to sin and death for mankind(1 Corinthians 15:25+26)(Isaiah 33:24/25:8/Revelation 21:4)(Psalm 37:10,11,29/Matthew 5:5). The Israelites were designated to teach and obey this Law(Deuteronomy 6:4-9)(John 4:22/Romans 9:4) until it ended with Jesus' death(Colossians 2:13-14).
