Where does the word apocolypse come from?

The word 'apocalypse' is an anglicized (which is to say, turned into English) form of the classical Greek word apokalypsis, which means a "revelation" or "revealing". It has come to us through the Christian religion as the second word - and in at least one version, the title - of the last book in the Christian Bible, entitled The Revelation of Jesus Christ Unto Saint John the Divine, or, simply, The Revelation. In this book, the glorified Christ, in Heaven, manifests himself, or, is "revealed" in a dream to his servant, Saint John, bearing a "revelation" from God, a "revealing" of hidden things kept secret since before the beginning of the world. The modern useage of the word as meaning an end-of-the-world scenario, or as though it were synonymous with the word cataclysm, is a gross misuse of it, as is also the same useage of the word Armageddon. This abuse of the word "apocalypse" stems from the misinterpretation of certain imagery and symbolism employed in the above-named book of the Bible, and from the erroneous association of the word itself with that misinterpretation.
