After Hobbes returned to England and published Leviathan, he faced true opposition to his thoughts from various directions.
While the De Cive was a true success, especially on the continent, Leviathan was received with rage.
This, among other reasons, might have turned Hobbes’s head to other questions, mainly to scientific contemplations that he had begun already in France.
Althoughgh revolution is a rare concept in Hobbes’s political texts, he was very familiar with the concept from his astronomical investigations.
Indeed, the concept of revolution was first astronomical.
Hence, it is understandable that Hobbes found this very important and wanted to clarify the subject as he did in De Corpore.
Hobbes seems to think that the revolution of a planet simply explains some things most truthfully.

Behemoth – Revolution Coming Back?
De Corpore raised controversies as well as Hobbes’s earlier political texts, but mostly these debates were part of a new scientific discourse that took shape in England. Behemoth did not include any new political theory. Yet, Behemoth is not only a “history”. The major problem for Hobbes is that no one seems to have learned anything from the Civil Wars. These examples show how Hobbes used the concept of revolution, taken straight from the astronomical discourse described in De Corpore, for his analysis of the English Civil Wars. The political power seemed to return to the original place where it had all begun. First, he calls the whole period of the English civil wars a revolution. Second, he characterizes the movement of sovereign power as a circular motion.
