The Hope of Eternal Life
10 This salvation was something even the prophets wanted to know more about when they prophesied about this gracious salvation prepared for you. 11 They wondered what time or situation the Spirit of Christ within them was talking about when he told them in advance about Christ’s suffering and his great glory afterward.
12 They were told that their messages were not for themselves, but for you. And now this Good News has been announced to you by those who preached in the power of the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. It is all so wonderful that even the angels are eagerly watching these things happen.
Just as with the Old Testament prophets, we want to know more about things which were spoken of but have not yet come to pass. We are curious about the last days, the judgment seat, the final battle … eternity. God gave the prophets the what they were to say in their day. He gave John the Revelator the words he was to write. Then God closed the Book and tells us to watch and wait. We are to observe the signs and always be ready.
Much is yet to come!
