What is in the book of revelation?
The book of Revelation is a vision of the end times, apostle John has received while in exiled on Patmos. The word revelation (Gr. apokalupsis or apocalypse) means unveiling or uncovering.

Just imagine the final stage in a theater play has been set, the curtains are drawn revealing to the audience the main character, that has been somewhat obscure, but now making his dramatic entrance for the grand finale. The stage in the book of Revelation is the world, God is the playwright, producer and director, and Jesus Christ is the main character, the centerpiece of the entire history of the universe, returning to finish what He has started, to take His rightful place as the king of kings and the lord of lords, to subdue all of creation under his feet through a series of cataclysmic judgments, and purge the earth of sin in the final triumph of good over evil. There is a lot of colorful symbolism, but almost all can be referenced back to the Old Testament prophets. The greater part of the book deals with what is known as the Great Tribulation or the Day of the Lord, and it is the final chapter in human history.
Is the proper name of the last book of the bible the revelations of St John the Devine?
No.Chapters, chapter headings, verses, book titles, etc., were added by translators of the original manuscripts as study aids, readability, etc... and were sometimes somewhat "less inspired" than the ones who wrote the books, and were not always correct in these endeavors when it came to understanding what was written.In the case of the book of Revelation... the title added by the KJV translators, "The Revelation of Saint John the Divine" is absolutely WRONG [on so many levels, in their religious piety] -- as verified by the very first words of the "inspired text":"THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST..." (Rev.1:1).The Revelation is Jesus Christ's... not John's. John merely wrote down what Jesus conveyed to him through a vision given to him by Christ's angel:"...He [Jesus] sent and signified it by His angel unto His servant John: who bare record of the Word of God, and of the testimony OF JESUS CHRIST [it's Jesus' revealing testimony... not John's], and of all the things that he saw."
