Why is the book of Revelations called Revelations? What is being revealed?

Question

I've never read the Bible, but just curious as to what is being revealed in Revelations. All I know is that it's like the apocalypse part of the Bible.

Answer 1

Actually, the book is called the book of Revelation without the s. It's name comes from what happens in the book itself. This is the revealing of God's plan that He was working on throughout the ages. Jesus Christ is revealed as the One for whom everything centers around. Revelation shows how Jesus conquered evil and took His place as the ruler of heaven and earth. The secret, or mystery of what God was doing all through time was revealed in Jesus Christ.
