Horton: We are in a better position than Moses in redemptive history

"​...the communication of divine action (is) divinely authorized analogical discourse within the context of a covenant that plays itself out in a world-historical drama... the sensus plenior relates not only to the biblical writers, for whom the ultimate fulfillment of their prophecies was not necessarily comprehended fully, but to us as contemporary readers.

"We are in a better position than Moses in redemptive history, viewing the future from a higher vista in that progress of salvation, but we are still in a less direct line of sight than those who have passed from the theology of pilgrims to the theology of glorified saints, or those who will be witnesses of 'the end of the age'." Michael Horton, Covenant and Eschatology, p. 103
