revelações

Revelações is a Portuguese word that translates to "revelations" in English. It generally refers to the act of revealing something previously hidden, unknown, or secret. This can encompass a wide range of contexts, from personal confessions to significant discoveries or divine disclosures.

In a religious or spiritual sense, revelações often describe divine communication or the unveiling of sacred truths. This might be through prophecies, visions, or direct divine intervention, providing insight into a higher power's will or a spiritual reality. Such revelations are typically foundational to many religious doctrines and practices.

Beyond the religious sphere, revelações can denote the uncovering of important information that changes understanding or perception. This could be in a historical context, where new evidence reveals a different interpretation of past events, or in a personal context, such as a sudden realization or the confession of a long-held secret. The impact of a revelação often lies in its capacity to alter existing beliefs or to introduce entirely new knowledge. The term emphasizes the moment of unveiling and the subsequent shift in awareness it causes.
