Flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
Revelation is one of the most important facts in our whole religious faith.
It simply means that God is One who makes Himself known, who speaks and discloses His nature and purposes for the world. Revelation is usually regarded as general and special. General revelation is that found in the ordered universe, the starry heavens, the nature of matter, and all the rest. Also general revelation includes God's disclosures in history, the light He has given to all peoples everywhere, even in the non-Christian religions of the world. Special revelation is that given to the world through the Judaeo-Christian history, through the Israelite people first and supremely in Jesus Christ.
