Sphinx's Revelation 
doesn't explicitly target, so does this mean I cannot
Redirect 
your Revelation to myself? Or does Redirect allow Revelation to recognize me as the "You" in the card's text, as if I was the caster?

The Revelation does not target, it can not be redirected.

note: it is legal to cast Redirect at it, but it just won't do anything.
114.9. Spells and abilities can affect objects and players they don’t target. In general, those objects and players aren’t chosen until the spell or ability resolves. See rule 608, “Resolving Spells and Abilities.”
114.9a Just because an object or player is being affected by a spell or ability doesn’t make that object or player a target of that spell or ability. Unless that object or player is identified by the word “target” in the text of that spell or ability, or the rule for that keyword ability, it’s not a target.
114.9b In particular, the word “you” in an object’s text doesn’t indicate a target.

While not explicitly pertaining to the question at hand, actually taking control of the spell would make you the "you" it refers to (ie.
Commandeer 
).

This is exactly what I'd expected. I hate being right sometimes. Thanks for confirmation, guys.
