Revelation is entirely subjective, because it's all based on a dream and personal experience.
And, Christians believe it to be true.
Thus, subjective truth.
It may not hold up in court, sure, but it'll fly for your Catholic religion class.
If they start to ask you more questions, just start kissing butt so you can get it over and done with and forget about the banal task.

Subjective truth is truth that is meant to give support to preconceived idea or belief.
An education system is driven by subjective truth, that is you have to believe what is being taught is true, if you do not, you will attempt offer your own assessment of facts, which will result in a failing grade, therefore you will either conform to the truth as being taught or be labeled stupid.
Revelation is personal and the book of Revelation is objective truth, that is like you can see things and you try to put into words those things that you see.
For instance, your being told that Christopher Columbus discovered America, but he was greeted by the inhabitants of the new world when he first arrived. A subjective truth would leave out everything after discovered America, however, an objective view, would make the statement false, if you believe that the inhabitants of the new world, had no idea that they lived in the new world before Columbus claimed he discovered them.
If you went 18 years being taught this you would fight with every fiber of your being to defend it. To be able to learn the objective truth you would probably have to be killed and then be "BORN AGAIN"

Revelation can be a subjective experience of a truth that was not previously accessible to the individual in question.

Revelation is full of prophesies. The subjectivity of the truth depends on the accuracy of information. Prophecies do not reflect truth until they are fulfilled. If the source of such prophesies is a credible source, the truth is then driven by faith.

In Revelation, when he writes of a “voice coming from heaven,” John the Beloved is relaying the essence of personal revelation, which is best described as an intrinsic or inner communication, in which a lasting balance and peace is achieved by the individual.
Fleeting happiness is experienced by those who make claim to personal revelation but deceive themselves by their own vain and foolish imaginations. A pure revelation that is unadulterated by our own minds or the opinions of others is one whose end always brings us a calmness, peace, and balance forever.

Rhema is the revelation or enlightenment of God's word given to us by the Holy Spirit. It is the truth revealed to us by an external source, the Holy Spirit Himself, and therefore cannot be subjective.

subjective truth is this a catch phrase for bias and false impressions . I was raised Catholic and it took me many years of objective truth seeking to undo the childhood programing that did me an injustice. when will they learn ?

Truth, as in "agreement with fact or reality", is never subjective.
