You're not understanding what I am saying. I know the Bible is the revelation of Jesus Christ.
What I am saying is that the Bereans ultimately believed that this guy from Nazareth named Jesus, who lived in the first century was the Messiah prophesied in Scripture. The prophecies were implicit or explicit but they NEVER mentioned Jesus of Nazareth. That came from ORAL teaching.
Do you understand the difference between implicit and explicit teaching in Scripture?

John 7:52
They replied, "Are you from Galilee, too? Look into it, and you will find that a prophet does not come out of Galilee."
were they right?
Isaiah 9:1
Nevertheless, there will be no more gloom for those who were in distress. In the past he humbled the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the future he will honor Galilee of the nations, by the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan--
Matthew 4:13
12Now when he heard that John had been arrested, he withdrew into Galilee. 13And leaving Nazareth he went and lived in Capernaum by the sea, in the territory of Zebulun and Naphtali, 14so that what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled:
15 “The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,
the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles—
16 the people dwelling in darkness
have seen a great light,
and for those dwelling in the region and shadow of death,
on them a light has dawned.”
17From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
oopsie.
Isaiah 7:14
Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.
Matthew 1:23

Matthew 1:21
She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins."
