Many people when they think about the apocalypse conjure up images of death and destruction. However this is not what apocalypse means at all. The English word apocalypse comes from the Greek word apokalypsis, which is given the Strong's number G602. It is defined as:
- laying bare, making naked
- a disclosure of truth, instruction
- concerning things before unknown
- used of events by which things or states or persons hitherto withdrawn from view are made visible to all
- manifestation, appearance
In the New Testament apokalypsis is usually translated revelation.[1]
