Apocalypse

An apocalypse refers to a literary and narrative style where hidden truths about the world are revealed to one or more individuals. These truths are often shown through visions, dreams, or symbolic images that explain why the world is the way it is and how it is expected to change. Although it is often associated with destruction, apocalyptic texts are mainly concerned with revealing meaning as they address confusion, suffering, or injustice by offering a broader explanation of reality and by placing present events within a larger story about how the world is understood to work.
