The very first thing that we read into the book of Revelation is a grouping of letters written to seven churches. These letters that are addressed to these charges are encouraging and precautionary at the same time. They're encouraging because we can look at these letters today and see the things that we do well, and they're also precautionary because

“Ecclesiastes presents a naturalistic vision of life, one that sees life through distinctively human eyes, but ultimately recognizes the rule and reign of God in the world,” according to Chuck Swindoll. The book of Revelation emphasizes that Christ will return someday to establish his kingdom of justice, and righteousness, and make all the wrong happening stop. Ray Bradbury emphasizes these books from the bible to demonstrate how Montag’s remembrance of the books is used to travel through the world in hopes to use that knowledge to change the world’s interpretation on what books do to a person’s thoughts. Because the terminology of Ecclesiastes is assembling or to gather from one person in life, and the meaning of Revelation is uncovering

In “Revelation” by Flannery O’Connor, she uses a character named Mary Grace to envoke a change in Ruby Turpin. O’Connor used violence to allow her, as the writer, to be able to create the right situation for her character (s) to make the critical change: We hear many complaints about the prevalence of violence in modern fiction, and it is always assumed that this violence is bad thing and meant to be an end in itself. With the serious writer, violence is never an end in itself. It is the extreme situation that best reveals what we are essentially, and I believe these are times when writers are more interested in what we are essentially than in the tenor of our daily lives.

A general revelation is when God makes himself known through ordinary, common human experiences, for example experiencing God through prayer and worship. A special revelation is when God makes himself known through direct personal experience or an unusual specific event, an example of special revelation is enlightenment.

I. SYNTHESIS At the mention of “Divine Revelation”, my thoughts on it before were very narrow and simple. Back then, I would have mostly thought of revelations that occurred during the time when Jesus Christ was still alive. I had this expectation that the revelations would be mostly relating to the prophecies that we know from the bible, or what the church is constantly saying is the message of God.
