*[[The Book of Revelation]] (or just "Revelation,") the prophetic book which ends the New Testament. It is also known as "the Apocalypse" (Greek for 'revelation') - though many such apocalyses, both Christian and Jewish, were in fact in circulation at the time. It is somewhat similar in style to the Old Testament book of [[Daniel]] (from which it borrows), and tells of the end of the world, including Armageddon, Judgment Day, and the arrival of the Kingdom of Heaven, but despite Jesus' thrice repeated promise in it 'I shall come very soon', opinions vary as to whether it refers to supposedly imminent events set amid the then Roman Empire or to the far future.
