The recorded event of learning a supposed truth about the universe directly from a divine being is treated as a revelation in every religion. Almost every scripture that is viewed as holy by a community of believers can be called a revelation, as most of them are said to be comprised of alleged quotes of the gods they refer to.

The entire Bible can be considered a revelation since it was written according to the supposed words of Jesus Christ, God himself and the numerous angels. The same goes for the Qur’an, which is believed to be Muhammad’s transcription of Allah’s words.

It’s almost safe to say that there would be very few religion practitioners if not for the revelations that make up their literature. These tales and monologs serve to inspire the individual to believe and thus stay upon the righteous path. It is in these texts that humans are taught various things about the world by the numerous supreme beings that may or may not have created it.

Regardless of their credibility, the revelations offer numerous discipline and kindness inducing morals that both reinvigorate one’s faith in the supreme good and influence the individual into living with more spiritual quality.

The Masons of Faith

Without the holy words that serve as pillars of religion, it’s questionable whether we would’ve had a history riddled with atheism instead. Even though religion is nowadays becoming less of a cause for self-improvement and behaving in an acceptable manner, our entire past was dependent on its influence.

Those that further studied revelations and wrote their own understandings of them can be considered the progenitors of philosophy, and thus the creators of education. Even if revelations don’t hold much material value in the contemporary world, they’ve undoubtedly made a significant contribution to the development of the human race.
