Revelations

Bible's apocalyptic finale

Revelations is the common informal name for the Book of Revelation, the final book of the New Testament.

It describes apocalyptic visions attributed to John of Patmos, including imagery of the Four Horsemen, the Beast, and the end times.

Though the formal title is singular—Revelation—most people say Revelations in casual speech: Have you read Revelations? (Lowercase revelations means surprising disclosures.)
