First 10, we'll deal with these two verses quickly.

Concerning this salvation, the question I want you to ask is we read these two verses is what's the big point?

This is a, it's kind of an odd turn in the argument.

What's he doing?

Concerning this salvation that we are now receiving and that he just described in our inheritance,

the prophets who prophesied about the grace that was to be yours, searched and inquired carefully,

inquiring what person or time the Spirit of Christ in them was indicating when they predicted the

sufferings of Christ and the subsequent glories. That relates directly to your

question earlier about are there divine purposes for an inspired

writing that are more than the human purposes. Well this is a clear example of

yes, right? When Isaiah wrote, he will be despised by men, by his wounds who have been healed.

When he wrote Isaiah 53, I think he must have just said, wow, when is that going to happen?

And who is the, what will that look like?

I mean, my guess is Isaiah had 15 questions as he wrote that

we have answers to and and he didn't,

because of the way the New Testament shows the fulfillment of Isaiah 53 in Jesus.

But the point here is, those prophets, as they were prophesying,

searched, inquired carefully.

What sort of person is this in predicting the sufferings of Christ and the subsequent glories?

So there's the prophets.

And now, look at this, verse 12.

It was revealed to them that they were serving not themselves but you in the things that have been now announced to you through those who preach the good news to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven things into which angels long to look.
