The Law of Moses Did Serve To Strengthen Their Faith In Christ

Israel Given the Law of Moses 
     From Adam to Moses prophets taught that the Gospel of Jesus 
Christ was a divine plan by which man could be forgiven of personal 
sins and be sanctified by divine powers of truth, light, and life so that 
he could bear the presence of God and partake of His glory.  After 
having received this sanctifying law for Israel, Moses destroyed the 
tablets upon which it was written when he returned from Mount Sinai 
and found the Israelites practicing idolatry. He later obtained other 
tablets. But of the law that was written thereon, God said : 
     ". . . It shall not be according to the first, for I will take away the 
priesthood out of their midst; therefore my holy order, and the 
ordinances thereof, shall not go before them; for my presence shall 
not go up in their midst, lest I destroy them."
