Revelation

God pulling back the curtain to show something hidden — divine disclosure

lightbulbRe-VEIL-ation — removing the veil to show what's been hidden

Definition

From the Greek 'apokalypsis' meaning 'unveiling.' It's God revealing truth that humans couldn't figure out on their own. Paul talks about the 'revelation of Jesus Christ' (Galatians 1:12) — his gospel came directly from God, not from human teaching. The book of Revelation is the ultimate unveiling: God showing John what's coming at the end of the age.
