Definition
Plural of revelation, meaning surprising disclosures of previously unknown information, or divine truths revealed to humans. Often refers to the final book of the Christian New Testament.
Etymology
From Latin 'revelare,' meaning 'to unveil' or 'uncover,' composed of 're-' (back) and 'velare' (to veil). The religious sense developed from the concept of God removing the veil between divine and human understanding.
Kelly Says
The Book of Revelations is actually titled 'Revelation' (singular) in original manuscripts, but popular usage has pluralized it. Its vivid apocalyptic imagery has influenced Western art, literature, and culture for nearly 2,000 years, giving us phrases like 'the four horsemen' and 'Armageddon' that persist even in secular contexts.
