Formerly, divine revelation by way of the prophets was very piecemeal and showed its incompleteness, just as the repetition of animal sacrifice showed that it couldn’t completely remove sin and guilt. The greatest difference of this being…prophets were only servants in God’s house, where as Jesus Christ is over God’s house as a Son. (Hebrews 3:6) So today, we are living in the present era of redemptive history, where God’s last and best Word is being spoken through His Son, Jesus Christ…the only One that can speak as a Son – “Chosen before the creation of the world, but revealed in these last times for our sake.” (I Peter 1:20) and whose divine revelation is final.
