Hi Moorin, Here are the brief definitions of both: 1. Eschatology- From Gk. eschatos, ‘last‘, the term refers to the ‘doctrine of the last things’. In contrast to cyclical conceptions of history, the biblical writings understand history as a linear movement towards a goal. God is driving history towards the ultimate fulfilment of his purposes for his creation. So biblical eschatology is not limited to the destiny of the individual; it concerns the consummation of the whole history of the world, towards which all God’s redemptive acts in history are directed. [The New Bible Dictionary] 2. Revelation- Term from the Latin revelatio, referring to either (1) the act of revealing for the purpose of making something known or (2) the thing that is revealed. In theology it designates God’s own self-disclosure or manifesting of himself, or things concerning himself and the world; it may also mean the word itself, oral or written, that conveys such revelation. The equivalent NT terms are apokalupsis (apocalypse), which means unveiling, uncovering, or making someone or something known. The Greek word phanerosis is virtually synonymous, though usually with the nuance of clear, readily discernible presentation. REVELATION, BOOK OF Last book of the Bible, containing revelations concerning the events of the last days. [Tyndale Bible Dictionary] I trust this will help, BradK |
