An apocalypse (Greek: ἀποκάλυψις apokálypsis; "lifting of the veil" or "revelation") is a disclosure of something hidden from the majority of mankind in an era dominated by falsehood and misconception, i.e. the veil to be lifted. The Apocalypse of John (Greek Ἀποκάλυψις Ἰωάννου) is the Book of Revelation, the last book of the New Testament. By extension, apocalypse can refer to any End Time scenario, or to the end of the world in general.
The disclosure of future events is made through a dream, as was the experience for the prophet Daniel, which is recorded in the book with his name, or a vision as was recorded by John of Patmos in the Book of Revelation. Moreover, the manner of the revelation and the experience of the one who received it are generally prominent.
The primary example of apocalyptic literature in the Bible is the Book of Daniel. After a long period of fasting, Daniel is standing by a river when a heavenly being appears to him, and the revelation follows (Daniel 10:2ff). John, in the New Testament Revelation (1:9ff), has a similar experience, told in very similar words. Compare also the first chapter of the Greek Apocalypse of Baruch; and the Syriac Apocalypse of Baruch, vi.1ff, xiii.1ff, lv.1-3. Or, as the prophet lies upon his bed, distressed for the future of his people, he falls into a sort of trance, and in "the visions of his head" is shown the future. This is the case in Daniel 7:1ff; 2 Esdras 3:1-3; and in the Book of Enoch, i.2 and following. As to the description of the effect of the vision upon the seer, see Daniel 8:27; Enoch, lx.3; 2 Esdras 5:14.

You Me & The Apocalypse | Meet The Cast
THE APOCALYPSE
Feel chaos in the air, the moon is turning red
Prophecy from the past, an outcome they will dread
Once sacred religions die, now what can they do?
The rising of the Wolfer clan, life becomes anew
The Antichrist they all seek, exists in you and I
Their stories of a perfect god was nothing but a lie
Manifested madness plagues the once peaceful streets
And act of persevering lies at our fucking feet
The apocalypse!
And they worshipped the dragon which gave power
Unto the beast, and they worshipped the beast
Saying, who is like the beast?
Who is able to make war with him?
And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies
And power was given unto him to continue
And you the people ask who is the beast and why should we care?
