The book of Revelation or the Apocalypse of John of Patmos is one of the most famous books in the New Testament. Written near the end of the 1st century CE, it is the only apokalypsis (Greek: "unveiling of unseen realities") that was included in the New Testament canon and has been interpreted and reinterpreted for centuries, beginning in Late Antiquity, through the Middle Ages, and the modern world.
