So God can reveal himself to us gradually
Yes, but more fully I would say, the purpose is to show the people of God that God has not checked out. He is still here and is active.
One of the great questions throughout The Bible (and all of humanity) is how can God allow evil and evil people to prosper while good and rightness often suffer. The Book of Revelation is God's answer that in the end He will prevail and His final victory of Justice over evil will be forever.
So, in the end, the Book of Revelation is a book of hope and promise.
A:In addition to the biblical Book of Revelation, also known as the Revelation of John there was also a Revelation of Peter. After much dispute, the Revelation of John was finally accepted into the biblical canon, largely because it was decided to have been written either by John the son of Zebedee, or John the Elder. The Revelation of Peter was omitted because it was decided that this was not written by the apostle Peter.

Which revelation?
REVELATION The last book in the Bible is "The Apocalypse", commonly now known as "The Book of Revelation" or casually as "Revelations". It was written by St. John.
The revelation has ceased to function for you.
Of or pertaining to a revelation, or, specifically, to the Revelation of St. John; containing, or of the nature of, a prophetic revelation.
A:A genuine revelation from God, against which there could be no possible dispute, would be one in which the revelation: is unambiguous - it can only have one meaning, regardless of the beliefs of the reader;reveals something about which persons at the time of the revelation could have no possible knowledge;was clearly written down just as received, circulated widely and continuously available until evidence of the revelation becomes a fact, so that it could not have been written retrospectively;reveals something that became known at a later time with such clarity that the revelation could only have been of this matter;reveals something that, when it occurs, is undeniably evidence of the revelation and not merely a claim made after the event;is necessary and logical: God should not be expected to make revelations without a purpose;can have no alternative explanation and is necessarily from God.No revelation has ever been documented that meets all these requirements. In almost all cases of a supposed revelation, the revelation is ambiguous and can be given whatever meaning future generations choose to give it. In other cases, a prophet claims to have received a revelation that is known only to him or to people long dead, or a prophecy is made and the outcome of that prophecy are both written by the same author, often in the same book. Another instance of a false revelation is anything said to have been prophesied but which is yet to occur.
The author of Revelation is John of Patmos
