Revelation = apo kalypsis
The word “revelation” comes from the Greek word apokalupsis (the Apocalypse) which is a compound word consisting of apo (“away from”) and kalupsis (“a veiling” or “a covering”). Thus, “apocalypse” means “an unveiling” or “an uncovering.” The term denotes a p 54 disclosure of something that was previously concealed, hidden, or secret.1 In the New Testament, it is used exclusively with reference to divine revelation (cf. Luke 2:32; Rom. 16:25; Eph. 3:5).
32 A light to bring revelation to the Gentiles,
And the glory of Your people Israel.”
25 Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery kept secret since the world began
5 which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to His holy apostles and prophets:
The Unveiling of What?
The Unveiling of What?
The end times; it is the unveiling of the end times.

“to all things that he saw” - is an O.T phrase.
1 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
1 The word of the Lord that came to Micah of Moresheth in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
It is to suggest that Revelation is to be understood just like the O.T prophecies were understood.
Just as the O.T prophecies were reliable and have all come to pass, so will Revelations prophecies.
