Jews have believed in a coming Messiah all throughout
their history. They also knew that they didnt measure up to
Gods requirement of holiness, even before the law was given
to Moses. They also knew that a payment had to be made in order
to satisfy Gods demands for justice. They knew God was not
lenient in the sense that he couldnt ignore sin or let it
go unpunished, and thats why they offered sacrifices which
God told them he would accept as payment for sin and, is the basis
of forgiveness---and God did this because they offered a sacrifice
in faith. God said he would accept that sacrifice as a symbol
of the ultimate sacrifice that the promised Messiah would one day
offer.
