Joh_16:7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
The comforter is the Holy Spirit and he didn't come until Christ left. The Comforter wasn't in the prophets, he hadn't been given at that time.

However, they had to have had the Spirit in some measure under the OT economy as it says However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him.[Romans 8:9] So, if the OT saints didn’t possess the Spirit, then they were lost, seeing they were devoid of Him. Now, on the day of Pentecost we see Him coming upon them and giving them His full measure. But it’s safe to say the OT saints possessed the Spirit as well.
Age is just the Human development (biology) Periodization, the process of categorizing the past into discrete named blocks of time.
Biblical foolishness comes in all ages. And Biblical ignorance comes from all spiritual journeys. Jesus chose unschooled fishermen which is essentially my background as a layman blue collar American.
Age or education doesn't always mean someone is more accurate or wiser with Biblical knowledge.

But Jesus plainly told the disciples that they DIDN'T have the Comforter because the Comforter couldn't come until Christ left. They did those miracles without the Comforter, that's not even the Comforters role, that's the Fathers role.
As far as Romans 8:9 goes, remember that the KJV called the Spirit of Christ "it". You're trying to turn two different things into the same thing and as other scriptures testify, the Comforter didn't come until Christ left.

The Word of God(as you capitalized Word) is the Christ. The word of God(lower case word) is the canon of scripture. You’re conflating Word with word. One is the Son of God, the other testifies of Him.
