What is a revelation?
Only God can fully know God, and only God can make Himself known.
"Revelation is a process whereby God makes Himself known to men. It is the revealing of something previously hidden, something that is unknown until the moment of enlightenment when it bursts forth from the Spirit of God into the spirit of a chosen person or persons. It is a self-disclosure of God, a deep knowledge of His person, His purpose, His ways or plans made known by the Holy Spirit."

The Revelation, Handbook 2:
"I will revive My work in the midst of the years; in the midst of the years I will make Myself known."

He is aroused and risen from His holy habitation. He is coming and will dwell in our midst.

His Divine Original
1. Men will rule over every living thing that moves on the earth.
2. Men shall bear the heavenly image of God's Son, Jesus Christ.
3. God's people will be a kingdom of priests, a people for God's own possession.
4. Not one from the book of the Lord will be missing, none shall lack its mate.
5. The people of God will be willing in the day of His power.

So being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went..."
