Revelation

In the Bible, "Revelation" refers to the act of God disclosing His will, truth, or divine mysteries to humanity. The term is most notably associated with the last book of the New Testament, the Book of Revelation (or Apocalypse), attributed to John. This book contains prophetic visions concerning the end times, the return of Christ, the final judgment, and the establishment of a new heaven and new earth (Revelation 21:1-4). The Greek word for revelation, "apokalupsis," means to unveil or disclose something that was previously hidden. The concept of revelation is foundational in both the Old and New Testaments, where God reveals Himself through various means, including nature (Psalm 19:1-4), scripture (2 Timothy 3:16-17), and the person of Jesus Christ (Hebrews 1:1-2). This divine revelation serves to guide believers in understanding God's character, His redemptive plan for humanity, and the moral and ethical standards He desires for His people. Through revelation, God invites humanity into a relationship with Himself, offering insight into His purposes and the hope of eternal life.
