searching for who or what kind of time the Spirit of Christ, which was in them, pointed to, when he predicted the sufferings of Christ, and the glories that would follow them.
And the glory that should follow - That is, they saw that there would be glory which would be the result of his sufferings, but they did not clearly see what it would be. They had some knowledge that he would be raised from the dead, (Psalms 16:8-11; Compare Acts 2:25-28) they knew that he would “see of the travail of his soul, and would be satisfied,” Isaiah 53:11 they had some large views of the effects of the gospel on the nations of the earth, Isaiah 11:0; Isaiah 25:7-8; Isaiah 60:0; Isaiah 66:0. But there were many things respecting his glorification which it cannot be supposed they clearly understood; and it is reasonable to presume that they made the comparatively few and obscure intimations in their own writings in relation to this, the subject of profound and prayerful inquiry.
