Forerevelation

/ˌfɔːrˌrevəˈleɪʃən/ noun

Definition

A revelation or disclosure that occurs or is announced in advance before the main revelation.

Etymology

From 'fore-' (before) + 'revelation' (from Latin 'revelatio,' an unveiling). Describes a preliminary unveiling of truth.

Kelly Says

Religious texts are full of forerevelations—prophets would give advance hints of divine truths before the full revelation, creating a kind of spiritual suspense that deeply influenced narrative structure in Western literature.
