Revelation of Jesus Christ- The meaning of the word revelation is “revealing, uncovering, unveiling, laying bare, making naked” [Gr. APOKALUPSIS]. It is of something that has been hidden from view, which has now been opened to our understanding, such as a mystery or secret not perceived by the human senses. It is of a person, “the Man, Christ Jesus” (I Tim. 2:5), who comes into view and is now revealed to us here in this book, as He was truly meant to be, and as He now stands: “The faithful witness” (vs. 5), “He (who) cometh with clouds” (vs. 7), “The Son of God” (2:18), “A lamb as though it had been slain” (5:5), “Another mighty angel” (10:1), “The Word of God” (19:14), and “The Lord God Almighty” (21:22). It is a writing penned by a man, John, the evangelist, about a Man, who is also the One, true living God revealed to all of mankind and to His creation.
