DEUTERONOMY AND REVELATION

I'm quite sure I read this before, but it struck me this time (and I understand this is a bit of a leap): Is Revelation the NT Deuteronomy and vice versa? What I mean is, do Revelation and Deuteronomy have similar functions in the NT and OT repsectively?

The warnings about adding or taking away from the text was the clue for me:

Deuteronomy 4:2

You shall not add to the word that I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God that I command you.

Revelation 22:18-19

I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book, and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.

If this is the case, what is that shared function?
