Apocalypse (
Greek: -
translit. apoca'lipsis, literally: the lifting of the veil), is a term applied to the disclosure to certain privileged persons of something hidden from the majority of humankind. Today the term is often used to mean "
End of planet Earth", which may be a shortening of the phrase apokalupsis eschaton which literally means "revelation at the end of the world".
