What Does “Revelation” Mean in the Bible?
In the King James Bible, “Revelation” means “the unveiling or disclosure of something previously hidden” in modern English. It is an archaic word from the 1611 KJV that has dropped out of everyday use.
What Was Lost
The unveiling. Apokalypsis simply meant pulling the cover off something -- like removing a sheet from a statue. The Revelation of Jesus Christ was not primarily about future destruction but about the unveiling of who Jesus really is. Every revelation was God lifting the curtain so humans could see reality as it actually is.
