Your Revelation samples prove nothing against what I noted. If that were all that John wrote in the first three chapters, then perhaps. But he (actually Jesus Christ) had some things to say the some churches that were not prior revelations. You see my point.
Anyway, the other statement was to refute the foolishness that Paul was still "looking through the OT darkly" (as so many read it). The book of I Cor. itself proves the extent of Paul's knowledge and understanding (prev. posted). You can hardly say that he is still looking through a glass darkly awaiting more revelation, and when it ("the last and therefore completed revelation") comes, he'll be able to see what he was missing.
