The main problem with the theory of the Republication of the Covenant of Works in the "Sinaitic" Covenant is its name.
Many could agree that there was a typological teaching aid in the Mosaic Covenant whereby there was a condition that no sacrifice would be available for certain gross breaches of the Ten Commandments and death would ensue for those properly convicted, thus expelling them from the typological Land; and that if Israel as a nation fell below a certain level of faith-produced godliness as a whole nation, she would be, at least temporarily, also expelled from the Land of Promise.
But to call this a Republication of the Covenant of Works is inaccurate, confusing and misleading. It also needlessly loses some friends for this teaching.
Apart from anything else, the condition(s) would have to be met by grace, because the nation of Israel consisted of sinners.
