I agree that we all experience direct revelation of a kind, but nothing that changes or adds to what the Bible says. We might get further insight on the New Testament's meaning, but nothing added that was not basically there before.
The only thing I see in the New Testament that was really a shocker to the OT mindset was that the Gentiles and the Jews were made one in the new creation.
