1 Peter 1.13 Therefore prepare your minds for action. Be sober-minded and set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
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.
