Apocalypse Revelation (1.1)

"The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place." (Revelation 1.1)

An "apocalypse" is the technical name given to a particular type of literature, popular in John's day. Apocalyptic literature unfolds details of the unseen spiritual realm and their impact on history. Today the term "apocalypse" is often used to refer to the end of the world, which may be a shortening of the phrase "Apokalupsis eschaton" which literally means "revelation at the end of the age."

Horsemen The revealing of God's will, the apocalypse revelation, to us is for our action. Paul explains that he travelled to Jerusalem by "apokalupsis." He went because God revealed to him that he wanted him to go there, i.e. apocalypse revelation. Again, Paul received his gospel, not from human lips, but by "apokalupsis," by "The apocalypse revelation of Jesus Christ," Similarly, the message of the preacher today is an "apokalupsis." God reveals to human beings his own mysteries, especially in the incarnation of Jesus Christ. "Apokalupsis" is specially used in "The revelation of Jesus Christ," of the power and the holiness of God which is to come in the last days. For some, that will mean judgment, but for the Christian it will be an unveiling of praise and glory, grace and joy.
