Revelation means an unveiling, and in the New Testament it names the apocalyptic vision given to John concerning judgment, conflict, endurance, and a renewed creation. In poetry, the term suggests that hidden patterns suddenly become visible, though the vision may be dazzling, frightening, or difficult to interpret. Its symbols—beasts, seals, trumpets, stars, and the heavenly city—allow poems to dramatize historical crisis and hope. Revelation is not mere information; it is a transformation of sight.

Revelation means an unveiling or disclosure of what was hidden. It especially refers to the New Testament's final book, which uses visions, symbols, angels, beasts, judgment, and a new creation. Poets often invoke revelation for sudden insight, apocalyptic vision, divine mystery, or the hope that suffering will ultimately be transformed.
