Also, a ram was provided in his son's place

He had faith Isaac, being the child of promise, would not die, is one way
I have heard it described. Also, a ram was provided in his son's place
I have heard it described. Also, a ram was provided in his son's place
“By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called: accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.”
Hebrews 11:17-19 KJV
we’re told here that Abraham knew God swore to bless him through Isaac , so he knew even if he sacrificed Isaac and killed him , God was able to raise him up because he had already sworn that through Isaac Abraham would become father of many nations
“he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:”
abrahams great faith was based on the fact that God doesn’t lie and will always do what he says he will do. Abraham knew his seed would be called through isaac so Isaac couldn’t die if he sacrificed him , God was able to raise him up to life again.
It’s a figure of Gods only begotten son because ishmael was abrahams first begotten but Isaac was the one born by Gods word of promise like Jesus.
“accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead;”
I find it interesting that Abraham says “ God will provide himself a lamb “
and then later looking past the immediate event with the ram it seems Abraham was foretelling this by faith
“The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.”
John 1:29 KJV
that same promise of the gospel to Abraham Isaac and Jacob also is sworn to by God at this point in abrahams life
“And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time, and said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son: that in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.”
Genesis 22:15-18 KJV
If you look at isaacs sacrifice there’s a really strong hidden figure of christs sacrifice
“And it came to pass after these things, that God did test Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am. And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.
Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.
And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them together.
….
“And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said,…. but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?”
And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.”
Genesis 22:1-2, 4, 6, 8 KJV
in the gospel this figure is revealed as God sacrificing his only begotten son who he loves , who God his father was always with him , he carries the wood of the cross atop a high hill where he died , but God raised him to life as Abraham believed regarding Isaac in the figure
and when Abraham did this thing , God swears that through his seed all nations of the earth will be blessed later we receive revelation of this stuff in Galatians 3 and other chapters just like it in the apostles writings
The revelation of all this stuff making sense to us Christians is written in the New Testament was sort of my point about revelation so thinking of Abraham and Isaac and how Abraham was so faithful to God this applies to Christians this way
“Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.
So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham…. Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
…But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.”
Galatians 3:7-9, 16, 22, 26-29 KJV
Christians of all nations are the seed of abrahams promises revealed in the nt

Precious friend, In LIGHT Of Completed Scriptures Of:
His PERFECT Living Word AND His PERFECT Written Word, Such As:
Psalm 138:2 I will worship toward Thy holy temple, and
praise Thy Name for Thy Lovingkindness and for Thy Truth:
for Thou Hast MAGNIFIED Thy Word Above All THY NAME.
Are "post-biblical revelations" Also "magnified ABOVE God's Holy Name,
being "fantastic"? How about all the "post-biblical revelations" of
religions, making oral traditions and magesterium, etc. etc. etc.
(what "men think") equal to or higher than
1Co 4:6 And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred
to myself and Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us
that no one of you be puffed up for one against another.
Are post-biblical revelations that cause this, "Pleasing To God"?
LORD JESUS, Please Help us to be humble, living by "faith, not by sight"
(2 Corinthians 5:7), By Thy Holy Word, our Final (Written) Authority For
faith and practice, living in Thy:
GRACE And Peace... Amen.

1 Corinthians 2:
10these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God. 11For who knows a person’s thoughts except the spirit of that person, which is in him? So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God. 13And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual.d
14The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. 15The spiritual person judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one. 16“For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ.

Your question in the OP…. which was somewhat open…..deviates considerable from what you have responded to me here.

OP
What do we do with postbiblical revelation? If someone believes they have received a revelation from Jesus or His Father how do you respond to the one sharing it and the revelation itself?
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
If it’s something biblical …you see if it aligns with the Word. Nothing from the true God will contradict what is written.
As for revelation regarding a situation – I would hope people are receiving revelation in the operation of six out of the 9 manifestations of the spirit…..which is information you can’t know from your senses regarding a particular situation.
Regarding what you answered …
By the time Pete received the revelation to write 1 Peter the seven Church epistles (Romans -Thessalonians) were already being circulated…..it wasn’t compiled into book form… but the epistles were encyclical.
However, you word this statement somewhat strangely……you state us as being in the 1st century....
Pertaining to what we need in the church today ….lets leave that up to God.
Eph 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; Eph 4:12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
You need the spirit to guide you into all truth…. which is to stay the course …..in alignment and harmony with the written Word…..But to be guided or led you have to move (study…. work the Word)....

When I first read how Abraham explained (profesied) to Isaac that God would provide a LAMB for the Sacrifice and later a RAM appeared caught in the thicket, I know it was foretelling Yeshi Yah for God does not err, not even with His Prophets.
Abraham was given to know that God would provide, Himself, a Lamb.
