An apocalypse
(Ancient Greek: ἀποκάλυψις
apocálypsis, from ἀπό and καλύπτω
meaning 'un-covering'), translated literally from Greek refers to a revelation
of something hidden, although this sense did not enter English until the 14th
century. In religious contexts it is usually a revelation of hidden meaning -
hidden from human knowledge in an era dominated by falsehood and misconception.
In the Revelation of John (Greek Ἀποκάλυψις Ἰωάννου,
Apocalypsis Ioannou), the last book of the New Testament, the revelation which
John receives is that of the ultimate victory of good over evil and the end of
the present age, and that is the primary meaning of the term, one that dates to
1175. Today, it is commonly used in reference to any prophetic revelation or
so-called End Time scenario or to the end of the world in general. WIKIPEDIA
Armageddon (from
Ancient Greek: Ἁρμαγεδών
Harmagedōn, Late Latin: Armagedōn)
will be, according to the Book of Revelation, the site of a battle during the
end times, variously interpreted as either a literal or symbolic location. The
term is also used in a generic sense to refer to any end of the world scenario.
