That's what the word Apocalypse means. And it did reveal the future...just not to everyone.
Who did Jesus reveal things plainly to?
Why did he preach in this fashion if no one at all understood him? (Omnipotence means all energy expenditure is perfectly efficient with no unintentional side effects)
Probably a few did understand...but it certainly wasn't a specific group.
So....
Logical question is: Are you a Pharisee or an Apostle? Or one of the multitude in search of another free meal ?

First thanks for the reply, second, true all thing are not reveal to all, but understand, this is why the Church should never forsake to come together. if one get a revelation, then it can be told to all, and if another have a revelation, then we as the body together know more that we did apart. 1 Corinthians 14:26 "How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying." BINGO. One maight want to Read this chapter 14.
so as with his apostles, what he gave Peter, he didn't give Paul, or what he gave Paul , not James, but when one read all the Letter one know more as the whole instead of just ONE LETTER alone. see when we put Paul, Peter, and Jame letters together we know better that if we had just James letter only.
for where two or three are gathered in my name I'll be in the mist. and the Holy Ghost is the REVELATOR. and the scripture is TRUE, "We have not because we ask NOT".
so if we come together, we can know.
thanks for the post.
be blessed.

PS, nope, I'm neither a Pharisee or an Apostle? and I'm very full with God's word... thanks for asking.

You're a little mixed up, I think...
Consider the following passage:
Matthew 17 -
The Transfiguration
(Mark 9:1-13; Luke 9:28-36; 2 Peter 1:16-21)
1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, 2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. 3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him. 4 Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. 5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. 6 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid. 7 And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid. 8 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.
9 And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.
[this was a snapshot of His Second Coming glory (i.e. their 'catching-a-glimpse' of it, beforehand); the text calls it a "vision" in v.9]
Jesus' "baptism" took place well before the above-mentioned "Transfiguration" setting/context.
Is "the Jordan River" at the place where He was baptized located up on a mountain?

^ P.S. another thought I forgot to add to that post...
In John 1, the way it is worded indicates that "Peter" was not present at the time of Jesus' baptism [His baptism being spoken of in vv.32-34]... Verse 35 goes on to speak of "two of his [John the Baptist's] disciples were present "the next day," and that one of these two was "Andrew" (Simon Peter's brother)... then in v.41, it says Andrew "findeth his own brother Simon [/Peter], and saith unto him, 'We have found the Messias/Messiah,' which is, being interpreted, the Christ."
