Canonical closure argument: the New Testament closes the canon — there is no room for a new book of scripture

Mike argues that the structure of the biblical canon itself argues against a new book of scripture like the Book of Abraham or the Book of Mormon. The Old Testament creates expectation for the New Testament (culminating in the Messiah — e.g., Jeremiah 31's new covenant). The New Testament fulfills and closes that trajectory. There is nothing in the Old Testament that points toward Joseph Smith, Muhammad, or other later prophetic figures. The canon is sealed by the New Testament's covenantal structure.
