To reveal means: to uncover, to make known. Therefore, we confess publicly what has been revealed and made known to us. Essentially, we confess that the LORD has revealed or “uncovered” Himself to us. He makes known His thoughts, counsels and plans, Psalm 92:5, 139:17. His revelation is not a loose collection of thoughts, but a unified whole, a multi-coloured unfolding tapestry expressing one plan of salvation.
