Revelation and other apocalyptic writings

This book is sometimes called "The Revelation of St. John the Divine," "The Revelation of Jesus Christ," "The Revelation," "The Apocalypse," or "The Revelation of John." It is the final book in the Christian Scriptures (New Testament) and thus concludes the Bible.  The Greek title of the book translates as the "Apocalypse of John."  The Greek word "apokalypsis," from which the English word apocalypse was derived, means "revelation, disclosure or unveiling."

Many Christian individuals and groups have predicted a wide range of dates for the end of the world as we know, as a result of data from this book. So far, they have one factor in common: none have come true.
