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: an unveiling, uncovering, revealing, revelation. Meaning: The term ἀποκάλυψις refers to an unveiling or revelation. It denotes the disclosure of something previously hidden or unknown, often pertaining to divine truths or mysteries. Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb ἀποκαλύπτω (apokalyptō), meaning "to uncover" or "to reveal." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent concepts can be found in terms like גִּלּוּי (gilluy, Strong's 1540), meaning "revelation" or "uncovering," and חָזוֹן (chazon, Strong's 2377), meaning "vision" or "revelation." These terms similarly convey the idea of divine communication and the unveiling of God's will. Usage: In the New Testament, ἀποκάλυψις is used to describe the revelation of God's will, the unveiling of spiritual truths, and the manifestation of Jesus Christ. It appears in various contexts, including prophetic visions and the revealing of God's plan for humanity. Context: The concept of ἀποκάλυψις is central to the New Testament, where it signifies the act of God making known His divine will and purposes. This revelation can be personal, as in the spiritual enlightenment of individuals, or cosmic, as in the unveiling of eschatological events. In the Pauline epistles, ἀποκάλυψις often refers to the revelation of the gospel and the mystery of Christ. For instance, in Romans 16:25, Paul speaks of "the revelation of the mystery hidden for long ages past." Similarly, in Ephesians 1:17, he prays for the "Spirit of wisdom and revelation" for believers to know God better. The term is also prominently featured in the Book of Revelation (Apocalypse), where it describes the visions given to John concerning the end times and the ultimate triumph of God. Revelation 1:1 introduces the book as "The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants what must soon come to pass." ἀποκάλυψις underscores the importance of divine disclosure in understanding God's redemptive plan and the future of creation. It emphasizes the transition from hiddenness to clarity, from mystery to understanding, as God reveals His purposes to humanity.
