Ecclesiastes is masculine singular. Gr. ekkl[macron]esiast[macron]es.
Isn't the full title of the book "The Revelation of Saint John the Divine"
or "The Revelation of John"? At any rate the Gr. apokalypsis (as in
"Apokalypsis I[macron]oannou") is fem. sing.
That still leaves the question of why "Revelations", however ...
