The prophets of the OT knew that something great was to happen, but not everything about Christ's victory over death (the how and when) had been revealed to them. They did, however, know that the messages they were speaking were not just for the people pf their time but also for all believers to come. These messages are now ministered to us through men and women of God, today. It is the same Spirit working in them, that worked in the prophets. Only we get to see and experience the results of Christ's suffering and glory.
We are in such a privileged position, because we have the word, we have the in dwelling of the Holy Spirit, we live in the promise of a victory that has already been realised. The prophets could only imagine, but we don't have to.
Don't take for granted what you have before you, we have so many resources regarding God's word and his kingdom, we have the ability to come to the Lord as we are, without having to go through any ceremonial cleansing. When we sin, all we have to do is ask for forgiveness, no more blood needs to be shed.
We walk each day in Christ's victory,
Hallelujah.
