"The Greek term apocalypse refers to the end of time, and is an idea that fascinates us. There are Hopi, Mayan, Hindu, Zoroastrian, Islamic, Jewish, and Christian versions of the end of the world to name a few. Jewish prophets such as Daniel foretold an apocalyptic future, using “light vs. dark” imagery and describing events revealed by a supernatural source. Drawing from this tradition, the world’s end is described in horrific detail in the most controversial and widely misunderstood book of the New Testament: The Revelation of John. The term “revelation” derives from Latin and means the “unveiling” or “revealing” of truth."
