Perhaps your faith tradition does not include it, but it is part of the New Testament. The Book of Revelation, also called Revelation to John, Apocalypse of John, (literally, apocalypse of John; Greek, Αποκαλυψις Ιωαννου, Apokalupsis Iōannou) (IPA: /əˈpɒkəlɨps/) and Revelation of Jesus Christ is the last canonical book of the New Testament in the Bible. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Revelation Apocalypse, from the verb apokalypto, to reveal, is the name given to the last book in the Bible. It is also called the Book of Revelation. Although a Christian work, the Apocalypse belongs to a class of literature dealing with eschatological subjects and much in vogue among the Jews of the first century before, and after, Christ. http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/01594b.htm This is a great place to learn isn't it?

I do have a book called Revelation in my Bible. Where did I say otherwise?
