No.

"By natural reason man can know God with certainty, on the basis of his works. But there is another order of knowledge, which man cannot possibly arrive at by his own powers: the order of divine Revelation.1 Through an utterly free decision, God has revealed himself and given himself to man. This he does by revealing the mystery, his plan of loving goodness, formed from all eternity in Christ, for the benefit of all men. God has fully revealed this plan by sending us his beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit."

Yes, there is now a book explaining ALL of what John meant by what he wrote in Revelation of the Bible.

It is "new" revelation that is now available to the world,

John has two main points of reference from which he formulated his thoughts and words into the presentation of his message: 1) The truth, or reality, and 2) The Old Testament.

From these two points of reference came John’s entire message, as all the symbolism and figurative expressions used by him can be found in Old Testament writings, which were the only form of written scripture available in his day.

Throughout Revelation, John uses many of the metaphors and allegories that were used by some of the Old Testament prophets to keep “eyes that do not see” from seeing. John is commanded to send what he writes out into all the earth, so that those who have “eyes that see,” will. The same was commanded of other prophets who preceded John.

It is not that God does not want His creations to understand the truth. But for our own sakes these things are withheld when we rebel, so that we can experience what it is like NOT to follow God’s plan, thus reinforcing the necessity to do so.

The Revelation is being unfolded in the last days so that the truth will be fully known, and the world will be judged by this truth without having an excuse that it didn’t have the opportunity to understand because of “sealed” revelation.

If you are interested, you can read the book on the site below:

Hi Abel,

After having a little peak at your profile, I have a better idea about your chosen spiritual path.

What about the revelation that you receive in your heart every day? That may be more meaningful than revelation approved of by religious communities.

I'm sure we will agree that reality is much different than the usual physically focused atheist/agnostic believes. Even though my views are not limited to catholic/christian dogma, I can see that christian prophecy will play out in this world.

Absolutely! Revelation is communication from God. The scriptures show numerous references to continuing revelation based on the faith of the people. I can personally attest to the truthfulness of this.

James 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

In addition to personal revelation, there are currently living prophets and apostles on the earth, called of God to help people understand His will during our time.

The Holy Bible is clear in all the sixty six books with the forty authors. Jesus does speak of false prophets coming after him. Jesus was talking about wolves in sheeps clothing, the prophets claiming to be peaceful prophets. Many people have come along in the last nineteen hundred plus years. We truly have to watch out for the writings from Mohammad(Islam), Smith(Mormonism), Hubbard(Scientology), Mary Baker, and many others. The books were sealed so to speak, in the Book of Acts, the helper is given to come down from heaven to dwell with those that believe. Muslims believe the helper to be Mohammad but they are terribly wrong because of their archaic teachings and beliefs. Abdullah for instance was correct when he said the Koran contradicts the Bible. The reason for the contradiction is easy, the great deceiver was the true inspiration of the Koran. The Koran is based on stories picked up from marauders, merchants and traders from the seventh century AD. Allah is arabic for god, but that does not mean it is YHWH. When the pagans in Mecca and Medina where looking for a sign from their gods, a burning object fell from the sky. That object was a piece of a meteor or spacial debris. The people decided it was from the gods, so they built the "Kabba"(cube, Google it, please!) to worship this rock. They will deny it but it's true, hey that is the god they wish to worship so be it. Mormonism is just as strange and dillusional as the Muslim belief. An angel named Moroni(sounds Italian huh?) revealed the location of ancient buried gold plates. These Mormons were given an entirely different Bible. The people were told that the indiginous people of the Americas' where the lost northern tribes of Israel. The true original skin color of the American Indians was white, but they sinned against God so their punishment was the darkening of their skin. The list goes on, The Holy Bible is true, sure there are different versions, like KJV, NIV, NASB and so on. but those are linguistical and cultural moderizations of the Bible. Some groups have even went so far as to write the Holy Bible in accordance to their specific denomination. Your answer is clear and precise. "Will there be any further revelation given to us?"
YES, For all people of nations, races stature, regardless who it is. For any person having doubts about what I say, you don't have to believe me believe God. I am just writing what has been written, I am human just like each and every one of you. God wants a personal relationship with all of us. The key to knowing God is praying to God directly. I believe if a person is faithful and true in their heart, the grace of God will be revealed to them individually.
We are saved by GRACE (The grace of God) through FAITH(We believe in Him). We are saved from the lie satan started with Adam and Eve, satan continues to lie to mankind. The grace from God is something we probably don't deserve but with faith that God has allowed us to be saved from eternal damnation we therefore receive the gift of grace.

Yes but not till after Christs return and He makes all things new. Then the hidden judgments of God will be made clear.

The canon is closed. Anything now will be hindsight, except for whatever the two witnesses have to say.

Nope. God has spoken. There will be no more prophets. The only thing that God will do is send the two witnessess.
