Yes, that is true...

..It is not the same thing an Arhat than a "God".

Yeah, I didn't think you meant that. I know that English isn't your native tongue, so I thought it might be helpful to explain the different ways the words "revealed" and "revelation" can be used that have very different connotations. One implies a supernatural being that delivers some special knowledge, the other way is perfectly mundane.
