please notice exactly what 1Pe 1: 10 - 12 is saying
:10 Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you:
:11 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of The ANOINTING / CHRIST which was IN them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.
: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 Spirit Holy sent down from heaven.......................
this is explaining that the prophets did not receive the revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ - Jesus Christ was never revealed to them
- - - - - revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us - - - -
they ministered the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Spirit Holy sent down from heaven
but Christ / The Anointing was IN these Old Testament prophets as they suffered as prophets who were filled with Christ in them and ..... their very suffering that they endured for the sake of the Anointing / Christ in them signified and declared and testified the suffering of Christ / The Anointing - the Son Of God - to come in the future.
this was not revealed to them as knowledge and understanding they understood - this was kept secret, hidden from them,
they are a testimony that the Anointing / Christ was in them - they did not testify of the Son Of God, whom was born " Jesus The Anointing
he did not yet exist in human flesh and was not yet born as a son - and never was Co Eternal, Co Equal, Co omnipresent Son - the Spirit of God in him is the one eternal God manifested as the Christ / Anointing.
Joh 5:38 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.
Joh 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life,
Joh 8:37 I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
Joh 10:35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
Joh 12:48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my word hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
Joh 15:3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
Luk 8:11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
Luk 8:12 Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.
Eph 5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word ,
1Pe 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
2Pe 3:5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
1Jn 1:10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
1Jn 2:5 But whoso keepeth his word , in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
Rev 19:13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The word of God.
the word is what the spirit of the father always commands and sends - as a manifestation of anointing / Christ - the word.
Act 3:18 But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that the Anointing / Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled.
the anointing is the Spirit of God working and activating as application
