Revelation
The word we see in the Bible as reveal is apokalupto [1] means to uncover, lay open what has been veiled from two words which mean to separate the veil. The word for revelation [2] which is said to mean laying bear, making naked.
If revelation is connected laying bear, making naked then it may be more about setting down our personal baggage of judgment, resentment, blame, and anger through forgiveness than acts of our personal will. We forgive so that we may be forgiven which opens the door to revelation.
While the writers of the Bible received revelation everyone who reads the Bible may not receive the revelation needed to understand it.
Revelation is not the result of study but comes by Grace through the power of the Holy Spirit. It is not a product of flesh and blood.
