As we open the book of Revelation chapter one verse one, there are five facts we are confronted with. 

1.      This is a Revelation of Jesus Christ.

2.      Which God gave to Him.

3.      To show to His servants

4.      Things which must shortly come to pass.

5.      And He sent and signified it by His servant John.

Servants and things are both plural. Signifying they are for us, and there is more than one thin He will reveal to John for us to read and understand things that are to be.

The Greek word apocalypses = a disclosure.

Vines has it, an uncovering, unveiling.

Kalupto=to cover, to hide
