Revelation

THE BOOK OF REVELATION: M. M. NINAN
cf. ἀποκαλύπτω, 2, d. and e.:
φῶς εἰς ἀποκάλυψιν ἐθνῶν, a light to appear to the Gentiles (others render 'a light
for a revelation (of divine truth) to the Gentiles,' and so refer the use to a. above),
Luke 2:32;
ἀποκαλύψεως δικαιοκρισίας Θεοῦ, Romans 2:5;
τῶν υἱῶν τοῦ Θεοῦ, the event in which it will appear who and what the sons of
God are, by the glory received from God at the last day, Romans 8:19;
τῆς δόξης τοῦ Χριστοῦ, of the glory clothed with which he will return from
heaven, 1 Peter 4:13;
of this return itself the phrase is used, ἀποκαλύψει τοῦ κυρίου Ἰησοῦ:
2 Thessalonians 1:7; 1 Corinthians 1:7; 1 Peter 1:7, 13.
(Among Greek writings, Plutarch uses the word once, Cat. maj. c. 20, of the
denudation of the body (also in Paul. Aemil. 14 α. ὑδάτων; in Quomodo adul. ab
amic. 32 α. ἁµαρτίας; cf. Sir. 11:27 Sir. 22:22 etc. See Trench, § xciv. and
references under the word ἀποκαλύπτω, at the end).

prophesying, or by doctrine?
