Q: When God entered into the Old Covenant agreement with Israel didn't He know they couldn't keep His law?
A: Yes!
Q: Then why did He enter into that agreement?
A: They didn't know!!!
You see there's only one way to heaven and that is faith in Christ and His righteousness. Then why the OC? To take the pride and self-righteousness of men and lay their glory in the dust of the ground. When men see their nothingness they are prepared to be clothed with righteousness of Christ made effective through faith.
