Yes, it was Gomer. Listen to this...
(After Israel's adulteries against God) Now, therefore, I am going to allure her. I will lead her into the desert and speak tenderly to her there...In that day, [she] will call me "husband"; [she] will no longer call me "master"...I will betroth [her] to me forever. I will betroth [her] in righteousness and justice, in love and compassion. I will betroth [her] in faithfulness, and [she] will acknowledge the Lord. (Hosea 2:14-20)
Isn't that amazing? This is immediately after God spells out Israel's adulteries. And all this He will do for her, just to get her to simply acknowledge Him! Isn't that the most beautiful picture of tenderness, patience, and endurance?
I love that book.

That's the true revealing of God's character/attributes. He reconciles(seeks out) back that 99th lamb stuck helplessly in the briar bush.

Off topic but a bit funny. ALL the names in the Bible seems to have been translated. Those four are: Matteus, Markus, Lukas and Johannes in my language. I wonder when that happened? I mean they would have original names, right?

You got me held in suspense Jeff...........What is the answer.......I take it that your referring to Revelations, but are you asking for a Greek definition, or more specific definition?
Here's Merriam Webster's definition:
Main Entry: rev·e·la·tion
Pronunciation: "re-v&-'lA-sh&n
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English revelacioun, from Anglo-French, from Late Latin revelation-, revelatio, from Latin revelare to reveal
So is it, "to reveal"?????
