1 Peter 1:11

Searching what or what manner of time, &c.; that is, what time, or what manner of time. The distinction, however, which was intended to be marked by these two forms of expression, is not understood. It has been supposed that Peter alludes here to Dan. 9:22, 24, where the prophet is represented as earnestly desirous of understanding when and in what manner the promised redemption was to come.—The Spirit of Christ; the spirit of prophecy respecting Christ.
