We may be talking past each other...one of the drawbacks of online discussions as opposed to face-to-face.
What are you saying that God clearly revealed to them? Certainly not that salvation was gained through works, right? Through the sacrificial system it was shown to the Jews that they could not earn their salvation by their works because they needed a sacrifice for their sins.
