That which is revealed, disclosed, or made known; spec if. the Bible. The Revelation of St. John the Divine: New Test. Canon : The last book of the New Testament, and the only distinctively prophetic one given to fling back the veil [Etym.] which hides futurity from the view. Its writer was John (i. 4, xxii. 8), the servant of God (i. 1), the "brother" and "companion in tribulation" of the then perse- cuted Christians, himself an exile in Patmos, "for the word of God and for the testimony of Jesus Christ" (i. 9). It was there he saw the prophetic visions, narrating them after he left the island. The majority of the Fathers and the Church of the Middle Ages considered, as do most modern Chris- tians, that the author was John the Apostle; though Dionysius of Alexandria, and some others among the ancients, believed him to have been a certain John the Presbyter (mentioned by Papias, Dio- nysius, Eusebius, and Jerome), whose tomb, like that of the apostle, was said to be at Ephesus. Finally, Beza hinted, and Hitzig more confidently a erted, that the work emanated from John Mark, author of the second gospel, with whose style that of the Revelation was said partly to agree. Many modern IMG:content-0567.png:[blocks in formation] Apostle was the author of the Revelation, stating that the Greek of the latter book is deeply tinged with Hebraisms, while that of the gospel is much more cla ic. Among those who accept the apostolic authorship of the work, two views are current as to its date. The prevailing one is, that the visions in Patmos were seen in A. D. 96, and the work penned in that year or in 97, the reigning emperor being Domitian. The other view is, that it was penned about A. D. 68 or 69. Ch. xvii. 10 is inter- preted to mean that five Roman emperors had reigned and died, viz., August us, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, Nero, "one is," i . e ., Galba, or if Julius Cæsar be considered the first emperor, then the "one" is Nero. Respecting the canonicity of this book, it was alluded to or quoted in Hermas, Papias, Melito, Justin Martyr, the fragment pub- lished by Muratori, Theophilus of Antioch, Apol- lonius of Ephesus, Irenæus, Hippolytus, Tertullian, Clement of Alexandria, Origen, Jerome, . It was not in the Old Syrian version, though some Greeks accepted it. The Cerinthians, Caius of Rome, and others rejected it. Luther, Carlstadt, and Zwingli spoke of it disparagingly, but it is accepted by the Churches of the Reformation, as well as by the Roman Church. The "Son of Man (i. 13), who died and lives again forevermore, and bas the keys of hell and death" (17, 18), appears in the first vision, and commi ions the apostle to write to the seven churches of Asia (ii., iii.).
