<P> The Book of Revelation , often called the Revelation to John , the Apocalypse of John , The Revelation , or simply Revelation or Apocalypse , is a book of the New Testament that occupies a central place in Christian eschatology . Its title is derived from the first word of the text , written in Koine Greek : apokalypsis , meaning `` unveiling '' or `` revelation '' ( before title pages and titles , books were commonly known by their first words , as is also the case of the Hebrew Five Books of Moses ( Torah ) . The Book of Revelation is the only apocalyptic document in the New Testament canon ( although there are short apocalyptic passages in various places in the Gospels and the Epistles ) . </P>
