That would make sense.  It means also, that the Jews must have been
familiar with the presence of God and the power of God such as when the
Spirit of prophecy came on them.   Not to the extent that we know it now,
though.

That is some good insight, Bro. Tyler.  It is so beautiful the way the Lord
can be touched by our infirmities.  I was listening to someone on the radio
yesterday talk about how the Holy Ghost is sooo sensitive.  That means (for
ex.) if we hurt someone the Spirit is grieved in us and then we become
grieved.  Our spirit becomes meshed with His Spirit so that we feel what
the Spirit is feeling.  On the other hand, when we are kind to others, the
Spirit feels joy, thus we feel joy.  I thought it was really interesting.
