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.
Some interpreters have seen the phrase "the grace that would come to you" (1 Peter 1:10) as a reference to the salvation of Gentiles. The Old Testament prophets predicted this, too (e.g., Isaiah 52:15). Peter’s original audience was probably predominantly Gentile groups of Christians. It seems more likely, however, that Peter was not referring exclusively to prophecy about Gentile salvation. He seems to have been referring to the grace God promised to bestow on believers generally, including Gentile salvation, about which he had been speaking in 1 Peter 1:3-9.
