Revelation is the act of revealing or disclosing, or making something obvious and clearly understood through active or passive communication with the divine. Revelation can originate directly from a deity, or through an agent, such as an angel. One who has experienced such contact with or communication from the divine is often known as a prophet. Some religions have religious texts which they view as divinely or supernaturally revealed or inspired. Revelation or information from a supernatural source is of much lesser importance in some other religious traditions. It is not of great importance in the Asian religions of Taoism and Confucianism, but similarities have been noted between the Abrahamic view of revelation and the Buddhist principle of Enlightenment.

When the Book of Revelations was accepted as part of the biblical canon, people has a very different idea of them. Mystical visions were just that: mystical. There wasn't the sense that we have today that everything must have a precise meaning. A true mystic abandons the idea of precise correspondences and views the mystical experience as having value in and of itself, outside of any references to the "real" world. Furthermore, such visions were rather common at the time (early to mid middle-ages). God never came down from Heaven to say: You will include that one, or exclude that one. The Book of Revelation was chosen while others were not by the Church as it was then to be included in… [cont.] Answered by Opinionatedkitten - Wed Nov 14 12:09:38 2007 Why do people still believes that the Book of Revelation prophesied the future?
Q. When it was just a piece of inspirational work written during the prosecution of christians by the Romans? Who is the real John the author is a matter of speculations, and his visions about beasts and horns were simply ideas copied from Daniel 7 and if one really study the bible, it's obvious that the Revelation was referring to the Roman Empire at that time. This book is in fact dangerous as throughout history, many were being fooled or killed because of it.
