Revelation means revealed. Throughout the Ages, the teachings of the Mystic Path that lead mankind back to God have not been revealed for two reasons: (1) for fear that the wrong people would abuse the divine powers, and (2) because the authorities who sought to enslave mankind by withholding the Truth, would have destroyed or distorted them. Since education brings freedom, keeping the masses ignorant is a means of control.
The esoteric mysteries were hidden in high mountain retreats, mystery schools, poetry, alchemical formulas, tarot cards, the Holy Grail of King Arthur and many other avenues of secrecy. The great Truths, therefore, have not been lost, but only a few people have had access to them. This fact explains the Dark Ages as well as the present-day narrow minded people who do not understand that the word OCCULT merely means HIDDEN.
The importance of the Book of Revelation is twofold: (1) it is the most esoteric and purest book in the Bible. It was not tampered with, as were many of the other book within the Bible, because those who sought to control the masses did not understand it enough to make changes. For the past 2,000 years, only the Mystics have been able to break Revelation's code of secrecy. (2) The second reason for the importance of Revelation is that it was written by the Apostle John, the most beloved of all the Disciples and the only one said to have made the Ascension that lifetime. While the other Disciples were captured and killed, John was banished to the Isle of Patmos, where he had time to meditate and write. It was there that he received the vision of Revelation from Jesus, the Christed One.
Revelation, also called "The Apocalypse," is an initiation ritual that bridges the gap between the Christian and the pagan doctrines. It unfolds a drama of the trials through which every individual is required to pass before the human self is finally able to reunite with the God Self. Each of us will be purged until we are able to transmute the darkness of mortal ignorance and are illumined by the immortal Truth. This generally takes many lifetimes.
The purpose of Revelation is to provide a step-by-step process through which we can recapture our divine heritage. A twelve-step Path, presented in allegory, gives us the assurance that every Soul can ultimately reach the "New Jerusalem"--a state of heaven on earth. It is this hope, this promise, that has held Revelation, although not yet fully understood, near and dear to the hearts of all mankind.
Open your mind and your heart, and LET THERE BE LIGHT!
