Summary
Chapter 3: This chapter discusses the testamentary standard of Profundity in Greco-Roman testaments and the book of Revelation. It shows how commentators believed that Revelation surpassed all of the expectations attendant upon the previous testamentary standards of Consistency and Integrity. Thus, Revelation illuminated the reader, other testamented texts, and even the cosmos; it also sublimely sealed the New Testament and was, in short, divinely inspired.
