“searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.”
1 Peter 1:11 KJV
As Peter explains, “as they probed into the mysteries of who would fulfill them and the time period when it would all take place. The Spirit of the Anointed One was in them and was pointing prophetically to the sufferings that Christ was destined to suffer and the glories that would be released afterward.” The Spirit of Christ was in the prophets of the Old Testament, like Enoch, Abraham, Jacob, Moses, Elijah, Elisha, Isaiah, Jeremiah and all prophets who prophesied. They did so by the Holy Spirit living in them pointing prophetically and giving testimony to the sufferings of the Messiah and the subsequent glory. In all their conversation there was a constant quest to determine Who the Messiah would be and when would this happen. Today every believer has the Holy Spirit within him or her and everyone may prophesy. Let’s believe that when the Spirit of Christ empowers our life, we are not dominated by the flesh but by the Spirit. And if we are not joined to the Spirit of the Anointed One, we are not of Him. Amen!
