     \subsubsection*{The Trinity revealed?}
     We don't find direct references to the doctrine of the Trinity in the Gospels; that would be wildly anachronistic.
 
-    The baptism of Jesus in Mark is the first hint at the trinity. The story (1) reveals the identity of Jesus, (2) tells of His consecration for His mission, (3) introduces His public activity and (4) indicated the form that activity would take (witnessing to the Father and empowered by the Spirit). Matthew and Luke add to Mark that Jesus will baptise with the Holy Spirit \emph{and with fire}, which may refer to the Last Judgment (Mt.) or Pentecost (Lk.).

     For sure Jesus was conscious of God being a Father, but it cannot be said when and how he came to realise that. He was to a lesser extent aware of the presence of the Holy Spirit, and doesn't refer to it as directly as to the Father with ``Abba''. Also the accounts of Jesus' baptism hint at a Father figure.

     To summarise: we have to be careful to not be anachronistic and put too much Trinity in the Gospels, but we may say that Jesus lived out in a human way His filial relationship and mission as One sent/coming from the Father and acting in the power of the Holy Spirit.
 
     \subsubsection*{Revelation past, present and future}
-    To be done. %todo
+    God has communicated everything to us, through Jesus and the figures around Him. Both Paul and John the evangelist see the revelation by Jesus as complete -- but then what to do with ideas about the Final Judgement? Paul (e.g. in First Corinthians) and First John mention another, future revelation. Then there are also sources like Revelation that talk about revelation as something living, active. Thus we have past, present \'and future revelation.
+
+    If we would see revelation as revelation of truths (plural, like in chap.~4), this is no problem. But we're now talking about revelation of the Truth (singular, with capital). We thus need to distinguish between three different kinds of revelation:
+
+    \begin{itemize}
+        \item Once and for all with Christ and His apostles: \emph{foundational} revelation. %todo
+        \item Continuing, calling people to faith in a living encounter with God. %todo
+        \item As in the life to come. %todo
+    \end{itemize}
