352. The two messages carried by the messengers!

This verse (40:70) of the Quran says the messengers of God were sent carrying two messages with them to the people.

One of the two is the scripture bestowed on each of them, and the other is whatever they were sent along with.

 If it were as supposed by some, the messengers carried only the scriptures, there would not be such a phrase (40:70) in the Quran. 

We come to understand from this verse, the messengers with scriptures and the power to explain the same were sent to the people, and it is the duty of the people to follow them, and be bound by the same.
