What Was Always True, Now Seen

apokalupsis · G602 · GREEK

The Greek word apokalupsis (from apo — away from + kalupsis — covering or veil) means to be unveiled — the active removal of what was covering truth, so that what was always there can now be clearly seen, disclosed by God — apokalupsis is not human discovery but divine initiative, the moment God chooses to make known what He had kept hidden, and transforming — the sight that occurs when the covering is removed changes the one who sees, because genuine apokalupsis is always an encounter, never merely information. Apokalupsis is not data; it is encounter.
