Made To Be Replaced

Planned obsolescence is the idea of creating a product that will eventually need to be replaced. A company doesn’t want to build anything too perfect because there needs to be a reason for people to keep buying it. “A classic case of planned obsolescence was the nylon stocking. The inevitable ‘laddering’ of stockings made consumers buy new ones and for years discouraged manufacturers from looking for a fiber that did not ladder. The garment industry in any case is not inclined to such innovation.” Source: http://www.economist.com/node/13354332. You could say that Old Testament sacrifices had a planned obsolescence. One lamb laid at the altar would not cover your life with God. It was imperfect sacrifice and must be constantly renewed. When Jesus died on the cross he was perfect and complete. There would be no need for another sacrifice to ever be made.
