*Revelation.

It’s an old Catholic thing to distinguish between revelation (the entire bible) and the Apocalypse of John (the last book.)

[imardmd1]

Pick, pick, pick. My Bible, and many other versions, call the last Book of the Bible "The Revelation" (erroneously, by some, "Revelations") because the translation into King James English says:

"The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; . . ."

Apo (away from) + kaluptoh (to hide, to veil) = to unveil

Apokalupsis = an act of unveiling = revelation

Revelation is good enough for most English-speaking Bible students, and they don't need a Greek-English lexicon to get it. No one, including Romanists, customarily refers to the Book, the Bible (from biblos), as The Revelation.

If you want to, go ahead, but everyone will be confused until you "correct" him/her.
