Insights

The English word apocalypse is a rendering of apokalupsis, the title of the book of Revelation. Since Jesus's return is associated with the end of the world, apocalypse evokes thoughts of worldwide disasters. However, the Greek word simply means "a revealing." Jesus's return is the time when he will be revealed.
