What drivel!
Superior Revelation? - Did a new God get elected in heaven?
All revelation is of the Holy Spirit, and the OT and NT are in perfect agreement. The law has nothing to do with the prophecies, and Daniel matches Revelation in every way.
The real issue is that so many fail to recognize that most prophecies will repeat three times, in ever smaller time frames.
All of the prophecies written in Revelation has run twice up to chapter 13, and the third run is in motion currently.
The first instance of the “little Horn” was Antiochus Eppiphanes, and the second was the Papacy in general. Soon a specific pope will be the third. Ratzinger has stated his own belief that the pope to follow him will be the last, thus that would be the ultimate Third Horn.
How about the NT book of Hebrews for starters. You can’t see the superiority of the new covenant over the old with all its bulls and goats, etc.? Heb. 10 says the entire OT system was “shadows of good things to come.”
And how about Colossians 2:16,17 which has OT meat and drink, holydays (the feast days), new moons, and sabbaths, as shadows of things to come? Its the body of Christ that is superior (verse 17) to the old, can’t you see this?
