No New Revelation
I was challenged from the Bible study video I posted out of Acts 1:1. In that video, I make a slight remark that there is no new revelation today. A young Mormon missionary caught that, claimed that there were new revelations today, and offered to educate me on what he “knew to be true.”
I am not going to meet with him.
He isn’t going to school me
He doesn’t want me to school him either
But this does give a good opportunity to discuss the issue of new revelation. I would like to give three simple BIBLE reasons we know that there is no new revelation.
- The Bible Assures us revelation and prophecies will cease
1 Corinthians 13:8 (KJV)
Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
There will, according to the Bible come a time when those spiritual gifts will cease. The passage says it is when that which is perfect is come. I believe that to be the completion of the Bible.
- The Bible tells us that the last revelation will come from Jesus Christ
Hebrews 1:1-2 (KJV)
God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
God did speak through visions, revelations, and prophets, but that has all ended. Jesus was the last communication from heaven.
- Jesus gave the final revelation in the final book of the Bible, “The Revelation of Jesus Christ”
Revelation 1:1 (KJV)
The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
Jesus finished that revelation with the words, Revelation 22:18-19 (KJV)
For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
The revelation is finished. There is no new revelation. Everything that claims to be is false and is also cursed by God.
