Why Do People Speak about a Book of Revelations?

[Atwood]

Why Do people speak about "Revelations."
There is no such book in the Bible.
If someone starts talking about the book of "Revelations,"
others may think that such persons doesn't know much about it,
since there is no such book.

It is in reference to the book called the Apocalypse of John (apocalypse means revealing). The last book in the Holy Bible, Apostle John's epic prophecy of the end of time.

 

[Larry_Stotle]

Because is contains "revelations" from/about Christ, or an unveiling or a disclosure. All depends on which definition of apokaluyis you prefer.

I'm guessing there is some "point" to your "question".

​

But your definition says revelation, not revelations.

Here is the title: " The Revelation of Jesus Christ"

The name of the book has no S on its end.

 

[Larry_Stotle]

So that's the whole point of this thread - yer worry warting over an "s".

*shakes head*

Aye that is true too lol, I suppose it is common cultural thing to say Revelations than the correct Revelation. Same point though. Hmm, does make me think though that ye olde title; The Apocalypse to John sound more epic.

Lol Titles are titles though, the message remains the same.

 

[2Thewaters]

I disagree.
The book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ to John the apostle is the proper name of the Book.
That is the first line in the book, the title.

That's because the "apocalypse" has been wrongly linked to the destruction of the world rather than the judgment of the whore aka 1st century Jerusalem - it's gone pagan in most Christian "theology".

In any case there is a series of visions in the book no just one.

 

[prove-all]

we have to open our eyes to see it

 

[2Thewaters]

The Title of the Boo that Jesus gave the book of revelations is:

THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST

Thats what Jesus calls it

see Revelation verse one chapter one.

We just call it revelations because most Bibles in the world call it revelations

As another question anytime!

 

[Vernon]

Apocalypsis in the Latin from the greek apokalupsis

apo = away kalupto I cover , uncover, reveal

I believe revelation was not used until the 14th century, always called the apocalypse of Jesus Christ before that.

 

[Larry_Stotle]

I disagree.
The book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ to John the apostle is the proper name of the Book.
That is the first line in the book, the title.

It could be also titled:

The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to show unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:

Of course you futurists ignore "which must shortly come to pass" and make "shortly" 1980 + years and counting.

Of course you all be proven right one day....

*shakes head*

 

[2Thewaters]

The first verse of Revelation has always been
THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST
that is what it always has been called.

Watch this:

 

[Larry_Stotle]

we have to open our eyes to see it

And then you need to take the 2x4's out.

But your definition says revelation, not revelations.

Here is the title: " The Revelation of Jesus Christ"

The name of the book has no S on its end.

I assume the word revelations was made plural because there are more than one revelation. Im no expert, this is my guess

 

[2Thewaters]

In every translation it is singular
