1Pe 1:12 It was revealed to them that they were serving not themselves but you, in the things which have now been announced to you by those who preached the good news to you through the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, things into which angels long to look.
Is this phrase "through the Holy Spirit" suggesting that the good news was directly revealed to these messengers by God? They would not have had the holy scriptures of the New Testament so maybe they received the message directly from God as they needed it.

Well, now, I do not see where there is any indication that God's revelation of the good news was given apart from the preaching of it to men and reading further down into 1 Peter, the verse you have given, it is told again that the word was preached to those this letter was written to. This was part of the plan of our Jesus who wanted men to go out and preach the gospel to all the world so that men will believe and have salvation and apart from that there is no indication in scripture that it is revealed separately from the word.
