I often wonder how the revelation to Paul was made. At his time, what he would have as Scriptures would be the Old Testament as we know it. I can imagine that in addition to God illuminating the Word to him as he meditate on it, God is also verbally instructing him, in the same way that He spoke to people of old. So in a way it would be different from how modern-day self-proclaimed prophets style themselves as having a revelation from God, even if it contradicts Scriptures. Whatever revelation Paul would have received, it would be in the form of a confirmation or understanding of Scriptures. Which would probably became clear to him in the light of current events.
