John tells us that his last book is an “unveiling” of Jesus Christ. But only a few verses later, there is Jesus in all His glory, unveiled. Short book. But then the book goes on for another 20 chapters, after Jesus has been unveiled.
Maybe the unveiling is an unveiling of what the unveiled Jesus is going to do. That’s true, but that doesn’t, I think, get to the heart of things. Revelation climaxes not in the unveiling of the Son but in the unveiling of the Bride. The apocalypse of Jesus is not completed until the bride is shown.
