Bible Note: "Isn't it interesting though, that they do not understand the gospel? They are apparently interested, and desire to know about it (1 Peter 1:12) but they can never really know it, because they cannot experience salvation. Most of them have never sinned, and those who did are destined for hell together with the devil (Mat 25:41). They do not have the privilege of repentance." Hi, Aixen7z4! How do you come to such interpretation? Is this passage not talking about the prophets who were "carriers" of the Word but knew not the Word because they were presenting Christ in a future yet to come? The reference to the angels is as witnesses of the Holy Spirit descending onto the earth to reveal all truth; the angels were not prevy to the revelations or events that He, the Holy Spirit, would unfold!: and you are sure of the goal of your faith, that is, the salvation of your souls. This salvation was the subject of the search and investigation of the prophets who spoke of the grace you were to receive, searching out the time and circumstances for which the Spirit of Christ, bearing witness in them, was revealing the sufferings of Christ and the glories to follow them. It was revealed to them that it was for your sake and not their won that they were acting as servants delivering the message which has now been announced to you by those who preached to you the gospel through the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even the angels long to catch a glimpse of these things. (1 Peter 1:9-12) The prophets knew only partially about Christ, and, though they searched the Scriptures in order to decipher the hidden mystery, they were only able to learn that they were given Christ's revelations in order to bring us the Good News!
