According to Revelations Christ still retains power and Authority as a member of the God Head, but we do not know what the full extent of His sacerfice meant.
The whole of the truth of the prophets is wiped out in revelations when God says he will send Satan to the four corners of the earth; there aren't any corners its a globe and God would know that if he created the universe. There are no corners on a football. I reckon the prophets were lying or deluded that God was speaking to them
Could it be a figure of speech? A manual for the United States Navy speaks of sunrise and sunset, but you and I know that the sun does not rise nor set. Four corners of the earth might be a way of saying the whole earth. Figures of speech are common in the Bible, and Jesus was even fond of using them.
