Yes, I take your point and all the translations I've
read would agree with you, but how do you know? Is it
the tense used? or is there something else?

judging by vv. 10-11 the prophets longed to look into
these things also and it seems natural to take v.12 as
saying something like " . . . that which is now
announced to you, through those who preach the gospel
to you by the Holy Spirit who was sent from heaven, is
what these messengers (i.e. the prophets) longed to
look into." 

Is there any justification for this rendering?
