the ot saints had eternal life not because of the animal sacrificesbut because of THE ETERNAL SACRIFICE
Shed before the foundation of the world. You are thinking in natural terms of Christ sacrifice. His was a sacrifice with eternal reach, so it was no problem to be applied to the ot saints then.

I don't see it as thinking in natural terms at all. The old covenant insisted on the blood offerings and following the laws. How can you say these OT saints were saved under the grace covenant when they were under the covenant of law? That shows no acknowledging that God had different covenants for different people at different times. If the OT saints didn't have to do the blood sacrifices that would have been good for them to know since it sure would have saved tons of time and a whole lot of blood!!!
