I think many prophets knew about the Gospel of the Kingdom (Moshiach), but I don't believe anyone in the OT looked forward to the cross. I think many of them were expecting a King, but I don't think they understood that the King would have to play Priest first.
Here are a couple other verses which indicate they knew of a coming Savior.
And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. (Luke 24:44 KJV)
For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. (John 5:46 KJV)
Peace and Love,
Stephen
