Revelation
Bible's closing book
Revelation is the final book of the New Testament, also called the Book of Revelation or the Apocalypse.
Written in vivid, symbolic language, it describes prophetic visions of the end times, including the Four Horsemen, the Beast, Armageddon, and the Last Judgment.
Its imagery pervades Western culture: The speech was full of fire and brimstone straight out of Revelation. (Lowercase revelation means a disclosure or discovery.)
