The revelation of Jesus Christ is the bringing forth of the new man on the earth.

The Appearing of Christ 11 – The Inworking of His Life
In our previous message we looked at the presence or the ‘parousia’ of Christ in His saints. The parousia, regularly translated as "coming", indicates not the act of the Lord's coming or His arrival, but His present and ongoing existence in His saints.
