God reveals stuff to us all the time so it’s impossible to say that all revelation, even direct revelation, has ceased.
If that were the case, then I guess God would not be acitve in the world today.
I think the concern it when someone comes along and states that God told them something, and expect people to take it with the same level or degree of authority as Scripture.
While God has indeed shown someone something that is for them in their personal lives, they simply cannot make it binding on other believers. It does NOT have that same level of authority for all believers.
Whatever is binding for all believers everywhere, God made sure to include in Scripture.
He often chooses the very least among us, those whom the wise would least expect or listen to, to reveal His Messages to and to be His Voice and Messenger.
Did all of that end with the New Testament, too? No more prophets? No more warnings? God has gone silent in the time of our greatest need for Him?
From a certain point of view, that's all true enough, I suppose, but I figure that with God, all things are possible.
If that thing is already an in the Book example, then it's a given and it's silly to deny it or to limit Him, the Infinite God, the I Am.
On the other hand, just the mention of the word "supernatural" often carries many negative connotations, so people have to come to their acceptance, belief and faith on their own.
In the end, that's all we'll have in our One on one final pass and review with the Judge.
