Revelation

Last book of the New Testament, traditionally attributed to the author of the Gospel of St John but now generally held to be the work of another writer. It describes a vision of the end of the world, of the Last Judgement, and of a new heaven and earth ruled by God from Jerusalem.

revelation

The unveiling of something hidden, so that its true nature may be seen. In the Bible, revelation means God showing himself to be active in human history and as the creator, and it can come through actions or the words of prophets. In Christian belief Jesus is the ultimate revelation of God. In Islam God's most complete and final revelation was that given through Muhammad and recorded as the Koran.
