Just another thought. Carl Jung speaks of the "spirit of the age" and "the spirit of the depths". Both are constantly with us. The spirit of the age is simply what we "inherit" just from being born and conditioned by the primary forces around us, and they can become our totally unquestioned and presumed way of being.
The "spirit of the depths" is again constantly with us, though manifesting in various ways. One way, though, is always becoming fully aware of just how we have succumbed to the previously unquestioned presumptions of our own time.
"And be not conformed to this world: but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God"
(Romans) - words that will never be obsolete

@SW-User The Almighty reveals new revelations to humanity because He want us to know the truth about life. In the Bible it is filed with fairy tales and myths which are contrary to what He has revealed to mankind now. The Almighty has given the spirits the duty of revealing new information to help mankind to progress in it knowledge and development toward understanding what his purpose is on Earth. The Almighty's desire is to help mankind to create an ideal world. He has given the spirits the right to provide the truth about life, creation, and man's purpose for being in existence. The Bible is obsolete only because new information help's mankind to understand what our ancestors could never comprehend. The new revelation does what the BIble can't, it joins science with religion. It recognizes the value of what scientist have discovered and joins together to ascent the development of science in the development of mankind. Therefore, these new revelation do not come to destroy the Bible but to advance man's knowledge about life, creation, and our purpose for being in existence.

As I see it, "enlightenment" / "salvation" (call it what you will, perhaps "true knowledge of self"?) will always be an individual thing - or call it way or path. The possibilities for genuine transformation have long been with us. All Reality is "revelation".
I don't really think that any Faith, or any so called "holy" book, will ever be obsolete as such - there is much in each to guide any individual genuinely searching for guidance in any quest to the age old question "what must I do to be saved?"
As "salvation" is individual (although of necessity any path involves community) I don't really see humanity in general as having grown more ready for anything in particular. And the last thing needed is some new book with new answers - and claims that it is written not by a human mind but by the Almighty spirits is liable to become the first step towards fresh crusades and Inquisitions.

@Dshhh The spirits spoke to mankind in 945 and it was revealed to human beings who wrote what the spirits told them at that time.
