Is it the ma’assei merkovo (but ma sheroaso shifcha al hayam ...) or the nevuas Yeshai’ahu on Gog uMogog or kibbutz Golios etc. Just what would you point to as decicedly new and unknown to MR or that adds new revelations unknown to MR the av hanevi’im? Don’t give me a generality, but point to a specific nevuah in Nach of the type of which you speak and also tell me how you know MR did not know it.

Well, all of Nach.  And every nevuah that didn't make it into Nach
because it had no lesson for klal yisrael.  None of them were known
before they were given.  So they're all new.  But none of them change
the halacha.
