1 Peter 1:10-12

Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!  Jesu Jevu!
    1 Peter 1:
10 Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you:
   The teaching of salvation by Peter was foretold by the prophets.  This is not a fad, or just something new; but the real deal.  The prophets knew they were ministering to people beyond their lives, but it was important.  They may or may not have known what was to come, but were obedient to God.
11 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.
    The prophet would have liked to see exactly what was going to happen with the new covenant, the Spirit of Christ.  They may have had an idea of the sufferings Christ would go through, but not know how bad it really was.  However, they knew that glory would follow which we call salvation.  To be a child of God.
12 Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.
    The prophets would have enjoyed knowing what they prophesied was now in the New Testament as FACTS.    We know who, Jesus, and we know when (Jesus' birth through crucifixion) and we should take this much more serious than did the prophets.  They were part of the book being written; we, now, have read the book and know the FACTS.  The angels look down, follow us, observe our conduct, and knowing this we must be obedient to God.
    I do hope this makes sense to you.  Studying it for a couple of days, I think I understand, but if you can reveal this better please help. Love you all.
Soli Deo Gloria
