Revelation

 
That which is communicated by God to man, whether regarding Himself, as in the revelation of His will; or man, in showing his origin, state and destiny; or heaven and future events, as in the prophets and the book of the Revelation, emphatically so called because consisting almost exclusively of a fresh unfolding by God of the veil of the future. Revelation is occasionally used literally in its meaning for “showing forth” 2 Thess. 1:77And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, (2 Thessalonians 1:7); 1 Pet. 1:77That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: (1 Peter 1:7) same word), 4:13; Rom. 8:1919For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. (Romans 8:19), “manifestation” (same word)
