In the New Testament, Apokalypsis always has the majestic sense of God's unveiling of Himself to His creation, an unveiling that we call by its Latin name Revelation. It depicts the progressive and immediate unveiling of the otherwise unknown and unknowable God to His people throughout the ages. It is essential to understand that the Book of Revelation was written to reveal and explain previously hidden things. It is not meant to be confusing or obscure with its symbols and passages. Given the clarity of the preceding sixty-five books of the Bible, it would be inconsistent for God to conclude His final book with confusion and ambiguity. While containing symbolic elements, the Book of Revelation is intended to reveal and explain, not to perplex or obscure.
