"Apocalypse" comes from an early Greek word meaning "revelation". This word begins the Book of Revelation in the New Testament, and so the Book of Revelation sometimes came to be called the "Apocalypse". Since Revelation describes the end of the world, the word "apocalypse" gradually developed its modern association with doom and final endings. | |||
