The Apocalypse

By Editor

"The Apocalypse."—This is the anglicization of the Greek term which stands at the head of the last book of the Bible. It is the term that scholars often use. Its very sound seems mystical and dark to the ordinary reader. Then we read of apocalyptic symbols, and apocalyptic visions. Why not use the good English translation, "The Revelation," God's disclosure of wonderful truth, something which God has revealed to—not hidden from—His children? Do you not want the blessing: "Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things that are written therein." Rev. 1:3.
