Strong
expresses, in part, at least, what progressive revelation means to the one who
believes the Bible to be the Word of God:
There is progress in revelation from the earlier to the later books of
the Bible, but this is not progress through successive steps of falsehood; it
is rather progress from a less to a more clear and full unfolding of the truth.
The whole truth lay germinally in the protevangelium uttered to our
first parents (Gen. 3:15 - the seed of the woman
should bruise the serpent’s head).4
