Old Testament is the promise of the Revelation of Jesus, the New Testament is the testimony of the Revelation of Jesus and The Book of Revelation is the Revealing of  the promised and testified Jesus!

The Three Great Movements of Revelation

To truly understand the Book of Revelation, it’s essential to step back and see its grand sweep, not as a jumble of mysterious visions, but as a beautifully orchestrated story with three great movements. Each movement centers on Jesus and the journey of His Bride from brokenness to ultimate union.

1. Chapters 1–5: The Unveiling of Jesus, the Lamb Enthroned

Revelation opens not with fear, but with a breathtaking unveiling of Jesus Christ. We see Him as the risen Lord, standing among the lampstands, holding the keys of death and hell, and speaking directly to His beloved Church. The focus then shifts to heaven’s throne room, where all of creation worships the One seated on the throne. At the heart of this scene stands the Lamb who was slain, Jesus Himself, the only One worthy to open the sealed scroll and reveal God’s redemptive plan. These chapters anchor the entire book: before any judgment or battle is described, we are shown the triumphant Lamb, the center of all worship and authority.

2. Chapters 6–18: The Judgment of the Old Order and False Religion

With the Lamb now revealed, the breaking of the seals, the sounding of trumpets, and the outpouring of bowls bring a series of vivid, symbolic judgments. But these are not random disasters, they are God’s answer to all that has corrupted His world, especially the old covenant system and false religion masquerading as truth. Babylon, the great harlot, stands for religious systems that traded God’s heart for power, ritual, and control. In this sweeping middle section, we witness the exposure and downfall of everything that has opposed God’s grace and deceived His people. The message is clear: every false hope, every system built on human effort or pride, is judged and brought low at the cross.

3. Chapters 19–22: The Triumph of the Bride and Eternal Union in Jesus

At last, heaven erupts in praise. The old order has fallen, the false is gone, and the true Bride is revealed, clothed in white, made ready by the righteousness of Jesus. The marriage supper of the Lamb celebrates this union. Jesus rides forth as King of kings, defeating every enemy, and welcoming His people into a new heaven and new earth. The holy city, New Jerusalem, descends, not as a distant paradise, but as the Church perfected, God dwelling with His people in unbroken intimacy. The river of life flows, the curse is lifted, and the story ends not in fear, but in invitation: the Spirit and the Bride together say, “Come.”

Why These Arcs Matter

Seeing these three movements transforms how we read Revelation.
We no longer see it as a map of future terrors, but as the unveiling of Jesus’ finished work, the exposure and defeat of every counterfeit, and the triumphant union of Jesus and His Bride.
It’s the story of God’s love, pursuing, redeeming, judging all that harms, and finally bringing His people into eternal joy.

So as you read, keep your eyes on the center: Jesus, the Lamb who reigns, and the Bride He loves.
This is the true heartbeat of Revelation.

  Guiding Principles for Interpreting Revelation

Jesus came to save the lost.

“For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.” (Luke 19:10)
Every vision in Revelation must be seen through His mission of rescue, not condemnation.

He became sin who knew no sin.

“For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” (2 Corinthians 5:21)
The judgments are not poured out on man, but on Jesus, who bore them all at Calvary.

He came to bring the New Covenant.

“This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.” (Luke 22:20)
The old system of law and temple sacrifices is fulfilled in Him. Revelation unveils the shift from shadow to reality, from temple to Bride.

His love is unchanging.

“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and for ever.” (Hebrews 13:8)
Even when man blasphemes, resists, or rejects, His mercy pursues to the end.

Judgment fell on Him, grace flows to us.

“Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us.” (Galatians 3:13)
Revelation’s bowls, seals, and trumpets are pictures of Jesus absorbing wrath and turning it into mercy for those who will receive.

With these principles always in mind, Revelation is no longer a book of fear but a book of the Lamb’s love and finished work.

Important Note on Interpreting Prophetic Symbolism

Prophetic symbols in Revelation (and throughout Scripture) should not be interpreted literally. Instead, they should be understood by examining their spiritual meaning and biblical references. The symbols point to deeper realities, fulfilled in Jesus, the Gospel, or the unfolding of God’s redemptive plan. Symbolism reveals truth not through physical images, but through patterns, types, and echoes of God’s eternal message: “It is finished.”

Always ask yourself:
What does this symbol refer to spiritually?
How does it connect to the cross, the resurrection, and the new covenant?

Prophetic language is much like the language of dreams. The images and symbols we see in prophecy are not meant to be taken literally, ust as the pictures we see in our dreams carry meaning beyond what is seen. God speaks through spiritual pictures, and just like with dreams, the prophetic must be understood through interpretation, not surface-level appearances. These symbols are given by the Spirit and must be spiritually discerned, not with a natural mind, but by understanding what they point to in God's redemptive plan.

Job 33:14–16
"For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not.
In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;
Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction."

Genesis 40:8
"And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter of it.
And Joseph said unto them, Do not interpretations belong to God? tell me them, I pray you."

Matthew 11:13-14
"For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John. And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come."

All the Prophets prophesied until John : "All the prophets foretold events leading up to the time of John and there is not other prophets after John relating to the message of the Bible, and this message is Jesus, The Cross, The Salvation message and Gods kingdom that will come. This aligns with Jesus' proclamation, 'It is finished!'"

Matthew 11:13-14
"For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John. And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come."

He is the Elijah who was to come." : This is relevant to fulfillment of scripture that will be explained soon
The Spirit of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy!

Revelation 19:10
"And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy." The Cross is the climax of the Gospel - The Word of God is about Jesus and Him Crucified! The Word of God, as presented in the Bible, revolves around Jesus and His crucifixion is a central theme in Christian theology.

Luke 24:27
"And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself."

John 5:39
"Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me."

Colossians 1:19-20
"For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven."

Hebrews 10:7
"Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God."

John 1:14
"And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth."

1 Corinthians 2:2
"For I determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified."

Colossians 2:13-15
"And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it."

1 Peter 1:18-19
"Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot."

When you read the words of a verse, you must understand that every word carries significant meaning. These words often point to other Scriptures that together, reveal Jesus in more detail. The Bible cannot be read in a hurry. It must be approached slowly, thoughtfully, and with intention. To grasp the true meaning of a verse, we must read it in context, not only within the chapter or book it appears in, but also within the greater narrative of the Bible as a whole. This grand story, from beginning to end, points to Jesus. This is especially clear in the opening chapters of the book of Revelation, where Jesus reveals Himself in glory and authority. But there is more than just a revelation of who He is, there is also a revealing of who we are. One of the central messages Jesus intended us to grasp when He gave this vision to John is that by seeing Him in the correct way, we also come to see ourselves more clearly when we see Jesus for who He is. The Word of God does not merely inform us, it transforms us. It unveils Jesus, and in doing so, it calls us to examine our hearts, align with His truth, and live in the light of His presence.

This revelation only becomes good news when we begin to understand the terminology used in the scripture of God's Word. The language and symbols found throughout the Bible, especially in Revelation, first and foremost point us to Jesus. But as we delve deeper, we begin to see something even more profound: our inclusion in the very Revelation of Jesus. We are not mere observers of God's plan; we are participants in it. The more we understand the meaning behind the words, the more we see how we are woven into God’s greater purpose, a purpose that centres on Jesus and unfolds through His people. Jesus reveals Himself- The Finish work of the Cross!

Revelation is not written as a linear timeline or chronological story, but as a series of symbolic visions or “windows” that open to John, each one revealing heavenly truth, often centred around the finished work of Jesus. Each chapter is like a book in itself. You will notice repetitions in scriptures, references, and the overall message surrounding the verses, and this is intentional. Revelation itself works this way: the same truth is revealed from different angles, each one highlighting a new aspect of Jesus. Every chapter carries a similar message but with a unique tone or emphasis. Some chapters may focus more on the Son, others on the Bride, the Church, or all of them together. The Spirit weaves the same revelation through various lenses, deepening our understanding of the finished work of Jesus.

1. Revelation is Not a Timeline, But a Temple of Visions

Revelation unfolds more like a sanctuary of symbols than a straight line of events. It’s a book of spiritual patterns, heavenly scenes, and earthly reflections, layered and cyclical rather than step-by-step.

Revelation 1:10-11
John is "in the Spirit on the Lord’s day" the realm of the Spirit is not bound by human time.

Revelation 4:1“A door was opened in heaven...”
This is the first of many “windows” or visions, showing John not what will happen in sequence, but what is spiritually true.

2. Each Vision Reveals an Aspect of the Cross and Its Victory

Each section opens like a divine painting, shedding new light on what Jesus accomplished.

Revelation 5 – The slain Lamb receives the scroll (Jesus given all authority after the cross).

Revelation 7 – The sealing of God’s people (a symbol of spiritual identity in Jesus).

Revelation 12 – The woman, the child, and the dragon (the birth, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus).

Revelation 14 – Mount Zion and the 144,000 (the Church purified through the Lamb’s sacrifice).

Revelation 20 – The defeat of Satan, the reign of the saints, and the judgment (all through Jesus triumph).

These aren’t separate future events; they are different lenses on the same Gospel victory, seen from heaven’s view.

3. Revelation 20 As A Window Example

Revelation 20 should not be read as a sequence like a newspaper article. Instead:

The “thousand years” is a symbolic picture of Jesus spiritual reign through His Church after the cross.

The “loosing of Satan” is a vision of a time of spiritual testing, not a scheduled cosmic event.

The “Great White Throne” is not a postponed event, but a divine judgment scene representing the cross, and the ultimate separation between those who believe and those who reject.

Each of these is a vision that reveals the truth of how Jesus has conquered sin, death, and Satan, and how the world responds to Him.

4. Supporting Principle: Apocalyptic Language = Symbolic Windows

Daniel, Ezekiel, Zechariah, and now John all write in apocalyptic style: symbolic, layered, cyclical.

These visions repeat core truths from different angles, much like four Gospels tell the same Jesus from four perspectives.

Selah:

Revelation = series of spiritual windows, not a timeline.

Visions reveal the eternal truths of Jesus victory at the cross, not future speculations.

We must interpret Revelation in light of the finished work, not outside of it.

Connection between prophetic and poetic language

1. Prophetic and Poetic Language Are Intertwined

Prophetic books (like Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, and Revelation) often use poetic structures, metaphors, parallelisms, and imagery. Why?

Poetry expresses the heart of God, emotion, beauty, sorrow, hope.

Prophecy reveals the mind of God, ruth, warning, future events, spiritual realities.

When combined, we get prophetic poetry, which touches both spirit and intellect, awakening the heart to what God is saying.

David, though not a “prophet” in office, wrote many prophetic Psalms:

“David therefore being a prophet…” (Acts 2:30)

His poetry carried the Spirit of prophecy, pointing forward to Jesus suffering and glory (Psalm 22, 110).

2. Revelation is Prophetic Poetry

The Book of Revelation is not just a prophecy, it is written in a poetic, symbolic, and musical style:

Repetitions (e.g., "He that hath an ear...")

Symbolic imagery (beasts, trumpets, bowls, stars, rivers)

Songs (Rev 5, 7, 14, 15)

Metaphors (Bride, Babylon, Dragon, Lamb)

This poetic form allows Revelation to:

Speak to the spirit, not just the mind

Reveal timeless truths across generations

Be hidden from the proud but revealed to the humble (Matthew 11:25)

Revelation 12 – The woman clothed with the sun

Is it literal? No.

It’s poetic-prophetic language, revealing Israel, the covenant, or even the Church in birth pains of Jesus revelation.

3. The Prophetic Spirit Speaks in Poetry

"The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy." (Revelation 19:10)

When you read Revelation with the poetic lens of David’s Psalms, you begin to see:

The symbolic depth in simple images

The emotional truth behind judgments and songs

That every trumpet and bowl may carry both a warning and a worship layer

Psalm 29 is a great example:

"The voice of the Lord is upon the waters..."

This poetic line is also prophetic, about God’s majesty, judgment, and presence. It reads like Revelation 10 or 14.

4. Jesus Spoke Poetically and Prophetically

Even Jesus’ sayings were poetic:

“I am the Bread of life”

“I am the Light of the world”

“Out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water”

These are not doctrinal definitions, they are poetic-prophetic images full of spiritual meaning.

Prophetic and poetic language

Reading Revelation with David’s poetic spirit awakens us to Jesus in a deeper way. The prophetic spirit often chooses poetry to clothe revelation, because symbols, songs, and metaphors pierce deeper than facts alone.

Poetic-prophetic overlap between Psalms and Revelation.

"Deep calleth unto deep" – Psalm 42:7

“Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.” (Psalm 42:7)

This is one of the most poetic-prophetic verses in the Psalms and it speaks to the very process of revelation:

“Deep calleth unto deep” – the depth of God’s Spirit speaks to the depth within man (1 Cor. 2:10).

“Waterspouts” – symbolic of the voice or movement of God (compare with Revelation 1:15, “His voice as the sound of many waters”).

“Waves and billows” – overwhelming glory, presence, or even trials that carry prophetic purpose.

Poetic echo of the prophetic rhythm we see in Revelation: Heaven speaks in thunder, song, symbols, and Spirit, and the Spirit within us responds.

How It Connects to Revelation

Revelation is God’s deep calling to your deep:

The Lamb isn’t just a Lamb, it’s the poetic expression of sacrifice, meekness, and victory.

The New Jerusalem is more than a city, it’s the poetic image of the Bride, the perfected people of God.

The Sea of Glass is not just a sea, it represents stillness, clarity, and Spirit-reflection (compare Psalm 46: “There is a river…”).

When the Spirit unveils it, your inner man hears the music, not just the message.

The Spirit Unveils the Poetry

Paul says:

“But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit search all things, yea, the deep things of God.”

(1 Corinthians 2:10)

It’s this inner poetic-prophetic resonance that makes the Word alive. Revelation becomes not just a book of end times, but a living song of Christ echoing the Psalms, the prophets, and the Gospels.

"Deep calleth unto deep" a bridge between the Psalms of David and the prophetic poetry of Revelations

Establishes Your Foundation

You're not just writing commentary.  you're inviting the reader to hear the voice of Jesus through the symbolic, poetic, and prophetic layers of Scripture. This intro lays that foundation clearly.

Honor Both Testaments

By linking David (Old Covenant, heart-driven worship) with John (New Covenant, Spirit-driven prophecy), you show that this book is not about "Revelation as a timeline," but Revelation as a symphony of Jesus revealed through the whole Bible.

Focus on Jesus

You’ve said you want each chapter of Revelation to be interpreted symbolically and Jesus-centered. Starting with the idea of “deep calling to deep” shows readers that this book is not meant to satisfy curiosity about the end, but to stir their spiritual hunger for the living Jesus.

Read With the Heart

A poetic-prophetic intro softens the fear and confusion many feel when reading Revelation. It says: "You don’t need to be a scholar, you just need an open heart and ears to hear what the Spirit is saying."

Deep Calleth Unto Deep

“Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts…”

(Psalm 42:7)

There is a place in Scripture where the Spirit does not shout through doctrine, nor argue through reason, but sings through symbols, calls through images, and reveals through poetry, just like we find in the Book of Revelation. Just as David poured out the Psalms with a heart full of longing, pain, and worship, so John was caught up in the Spirit and shown visions wrapped in mystery, song, and glory. Both speak the language of heaven: prophetic poetry. This book is not a timeline. It is not a code to be cracked. It is a revelation of Jesus Christ, and it speaks not only to the mind, but to the inner spirit. It is deep calling unto deep. Only the Spirit can reveal what the Spirit has written. And so we approach this book not as spectators of future events, but as worshipers invited into God’s holy temple, where every trumpet sounds like truth, and every symbol pulses with the heartbeat of Jesus.

Revelation: The Covenant Story Unveiled

When most people open the book of Revelation, they expect a map of the future filled with fear, beasts, and destruction. But when we step closer to the heart of Scripture, we discover something far greater: Revelation is not about predicting tomorrow’s headlines. It is the unveiling of Jesus Christ, His birth, His death, His resurrection, His ascension, and the unification of His Bride through the New Covenant.

Revelation is the story of two covenants colliding:

The Old Covenant, bound to law, temple, sacrifice, and the works of man.

The New Covenant, sealed in Jesus blood, marked by grace, Spirit, and the finished work of the cross.

John pulls back the veil to show us what happened not only in the natural realm, the world of history, persecution, and the fall of Jerusalem, but also in the spiritual realm, where the true victory was won. What men saw on the ground, heaven revealed from above.

On the Ground (Natural Dimension)

On earth, Revelation speaks of things the early Church could see and touch:

The birth of the Messiah opposed by the dragon (Revelation 12).

The Lamb slain, persecuted saints, and the collapse of the temple system (Revelation 5–6, 17–18).

The faithful Church, bearing witness under Roman power (Revelation 2–3, 11).

The visible shaking of the old order as judgment fell on Israel’s religious system.

This was the ground level story, the struggle of the Bride in a hostile world, and the passing away of the old covenant order.

Above the Ground (Spiritual Dimension)

But Revelation is never just history. John is lifted “in the Spirit” (Revelation 1:10; 4:2) to see the heavenly reality behind these events:

The child caught up to God and His throne,  the ascension of Jesus (Revelation 12:5).

The Lamb taking the scroll, he authority of redemption secured at the cross (Revelation 5).

The first resurrection, new birth and eternal life through Jesus’ victory over death (Revelation 20:6).

The Bride adorned and the New Jerusalem descending, the Spirit-filled Church united with her Lord (Revelation 21).

This was the spiritual story, the cross, resurrection, and ascension explained through symbols, visions, and worship scenes.

The Thread of Jesus’ Finished Work

Revelation weaves both dimensions into one tapestry:

What the eyes of man saw: suffering, judgment, and collapse.

What the eyes of heaven saw: glory, triumph, and new creation.

At its core, Revelation is not about beasts, plagues, or fear. It is about Jesus, the Lamb who was slain, who now reigns, and who unites His Bride forever. It is the covenant shift, the dividing line of history: “It is finished.”

Why This Matters

If we read Revelation as only future, we miss the unveiling of Jesus already accomplished. If we read it as only history, we miss the eternal spiritual reality that shapes our life today. Revelation invites us to see both: the visible shaking of the old covenant order, and the invisible glory of Jesus reign breaking into the world. This book will guide you to read Revelation with unveiled eyes, not as a code of fear, but as the covenant story of love. The Old Covenant ended in judgment, the New Covenant began in glory, and Jesus stands at the center of it all.

Scripture Add-On for Introduction

Old Covenant Shadows

Hebrews 10:1 – “For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.”

Galatians 3:24 – “Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Jesus, that we might be justified by faith.”

New Covenant Fulfillment

Hebrews 8:6 – “But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.”

Jeremiah 31:33 – “I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.”

Natural Dimension (Ground Level)

Luke 21:20–22 – “And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh… For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.”

Revelation 18:2 – “Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils…”

Spiritual Dimension (Above Ground)

Revelation 12:5 – “And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.”

Revelation 5:6 – “And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne… stood a Lamb as it had been slain.”

Revelation 20:6 – “Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power…”

The Bride and New Jerusalem

Revelation 21:2–3 – “And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men…”

Ephesians 5:25–27 – “Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it… That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.”

Centered on the Cross

John 19:30 – “When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.”

Colossians 2:14–15 – “Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us… And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.”

When you understand Revelation as follows, then you’ve touched the heart of it. ❤️

While you read Revelation it will constantly feels like it’s written on two levels at once:

Ground level (natural dimension): the visible events of history, the struggles of the Church, the collapse of the temple system, the persecution under Rome, the symbols drawn from Israel’s covenant life.

Above ground (spiritual realm): the unseen reality of Jesus’ birth, death, resurrection, ascension, enthronement, and the Spirit’s empowerment of His Bride.

Let us unpacked this wonderful message:

Revelation as the Two Covenants Unveiled

Birth of Jesus (Revelation 12)

Natural: The woman bringing forth the child amid opposition.

Spiritual: The Incarnation, God entering human history, the true Israel born.

Death of Jesus (Revelation 5 & 6)

Natural: The Lamb slain, the cross visible to men.

Spiritual: The opening of the scroll, judgment and redemption released through His sacrifice.

Resurrection (Revelation 1:18; 20:6)

Natural: An empty tomb, unseen by most.

Spiritual: Jesus takes the keys of death and hell, inaugurating the first resurrection (new birth).

Ascension (Revelation 4–5)

Natural: Disciples watch Jesus ascend into heaven.

Spiritual: John sees the throne room; the Lamb takes the scroll, authority transferred to the risen Jesus.

Pentecost & Empowerment (Revelation 11; 14)

Natural: The Church proclaiming under persecution.

Spiritual: The two witnesses, the 144,000, the angels, all symbols of the Spirit-filled Church bearing Jesus testimony.

Judgment of the Old Covenant System (Revelation 17–18)

Natural: Jerusalem/Babylon judged, temple destroyed.

Spiritual: The harlot system (law + dead works) falls before the Bride of the Lamb is revealed.

Unification & New Covenant Fulfilled (Revelation 19–22)

Natural: The Church on earth, enduring, worshipping.

Spiritual: The Marriage of the Lamb, the Bride adorned, New Jerusalem descending, God and man united forever.

Theological Thread

Revelation is not a futuristic horror map, but a spiritual unveiling. It tells the story of the end of the Old Covenant and the birth of the New Covenant, both in the natural world (visible events, persecution, destruction) and in the spiritual realm (cross, resurrection, ascension, Spirit poured out).

At every turn, John shows us:

What man saw with his eyes (persecution, blood, collapse).

What heaven saw in Jesus (victory, enthronement, glory).

Revelation = the veil pulled back so the Church could see what really happened in Jesus.
