1Pet.1:10 Concerning this salvation, the prophets sought and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that would come to you.

Tunnel vision, we all know what tunnel vision is, seeing essentially what we want so see for a preconceived thought! When a Christian's are set upon prophecy, future prophecy of end times predictions, they will with tunnel vision see the apostles Peters words here in such light. But what did Peter actually say prophets sought for? Grace! Undeserved kindness, and/or unmerited kindness; does that shocking to you?

Hebrews 8:7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second.

Yes, without grace all prophecy is point less, but why? How can a person save themselves from sin, is not sin death, and eternal destruction of not knowing God? Yes, without the remission of sin, there is no life in Christ Jesus. Hence, grace, nor undeserved kindness, how can one say such a thing? It is because sins laws judge us as wicked sinners, do you understand that? In other words, works of laws in obeying certain rules of laws, dead works, we will always fail needing atonement for those sins.

2 Corinthians 11:15 It is no great thing therefore if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.

It is only by grace, undeserved kindness we are not sinners, it is this, all the prophets sought, they were righteous men by faith, knowing what many fleshly mind Christian's never get, nor understand, the laws condemns us just as we are sinners, they do not declare us righteous, they are dead works. If one goes to a dead body it does not produce works of the living! How can one go to laws condemning us of death, and get life from them, no! They are dead works are they not? One has to go to a body of life to produce works of life. Where is that imperishable life, resurrected, glorified in heaven seating at the right hand of YHWH, as the source of all life.

Galatians 3:2 I just want to learn this from you. Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith?

Galatians 3:5 He therefore who supplies the Spirit to you, and works miracles among you, does he do it by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith?

But how can a sinner not sin? They must die, and be joined to a life that gives them life, Christ Jesus, which cannot be earned by our merit, that is, doing a work of law. It must be given freely by the creator of mankind as a free gift of His kindness. It this what your seeking, or is it falsely called knowledge of prophecy, which is one more work of law of self-salvation?

Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.
