Strong's Lexicon apokalupsis: Revelation, unveiling, disclosure Original Word: ἀποκάλυψις Part of Speech: Noun, Feminine Transliteration: apokalupsis Pronunciation: ah-po-KAH-loo-psis Phonetic Spelling: (ap-ok-al'-oop-sis) Definition: Revelation, unveiling, disclosure Meaning: an unveiling, uncovering, revealing, revelation. Word Origin: Derived from ἀποκαλύπτω (apokaluptō), meaning "to uncover" or "to reveal." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "apokalupsis," the concept of divine revelation is present in terms such as גִּלּוּי (gilluy, "revelation") and נָגַד (nagad, "to make known"). Usage: The term "apokalupsis" primarily refers to the act of revealing or unveiling something that was previously hidden. In the New Testament, it is often used to describe the disclosure of divine truths or the manifestation of God's will and purposes. It can refer to both the revelation of God's word and the ultimate revelation of Jesus Christ at His second coming. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of revelation was not uncommon, often associated with the disclosure of divine mysteries through oracles or visions. However, in the biblical context, "apokalupsis" carries a distinct theological significance, emphasizing God's initiative in making known His divine plan and purposes to humanity. This revelation is not merely informational but transformative, calling for a response of faith and obedience. HELPS Word-studies Cognate: 602 apokálypsis – properly, uncovering (unveiling).
