ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Revelation

Revelation is when somebody tells you something you don't already know. You know how sometimes you learn something new in school or your parents tell you something you never heard before? That's like a small revelation. But usually when people talk about revelation, they mean something much bigger and more important.

Revelation is something that someone thinks comes from God or a higher power. People believe that God can talk to them, but not in the way we talk to each other. Instead, they think that God can talk to them in special ways, like through dreams or visions. People who believe in God think that revelation can tell us important things about life, like how to be good people or what happens after we die.

Sometimes, people write down revelation so that others can read it and learn from it. These writings are like letters or stories that were written a long time ago. Many religious groups have books that they believe contain revelation from God. For example, Christians have the Bible, Muslims have the Quran, and Jews have the Torah.

When people receive revelation, they often feel like they have a special purpose or mission in life. They try to live their lives in a certain way to follow the guidance they receive from their beliefs. 收到启示,人们通常觉得自己有特殊的目标或使命。他们尝试以某种特定的方式生活,以遵循他们从他们的信仰中获得的指导。
