Revelation

Revelation refers to the extraordinary visions Paul received — the very experiences so spiritually potent that God allowed a thorn in the flesh to prevent them from producing pride.

The revelation Daniel receives here is described as true but deeply troubling — a divinely disclosed vision of great conflict that breaks him emotionally and drives him into weeks of grief and fasting.

Revelation here carries its full weight of burden — what God disclosed to Daniel wasn't comforting information but a crushing preview of suffering that left him physically ill for days.

Revelation is the missing ingredient in this passage — Solomon is reasoning from observation alone, without the full picture that divine disclosure would provide, which explains why his conclusions feel incomplete and searching.

Revelation is used here to describe God's disclosure of a previously hidden mystery — not a puzzle to solve, but something always true that is only now being unveiled: the plan to reunite all things under Christ.

Revelation is precisely what is happening at this moment — God is pulling back the curtain on His own nature and identity, answering Moses' question about His name with the most direct divine self-disclosure in the Hebrew scriptures.
