The word "Revelation" in the Greek is "apocalupsis".

..................It's the title "THE APOCALYPSE" by which it is often called.

............It is from the verb meaning to unveil; this means a taking away of a veil, as when a statue is unveiled, that what is behind the veil may be seen.

........It's not so much a revelation or unveiling of the Person of Christ, though it discloses His High Priestly and Kingly glory, as it is the unveiling of those events that shall come before and with His return to the earth.
