    Lol. While in modern times, we use the word to mean the end of the world, the original meaning has nothing to do with it. 

    An apocalypse (Ancient Greek: ἀποκάλυψις apokálypsis, from ἀπό and καλύπτω, literally meaning "an uncovering") is a disclosure of knowledge or revelation. In religious contexts it is usually a disclosure of something hidden, "a vision of heavenly secrets that can make sense of earthly realities."

    I know that, I studied Classical and Koine Greek as part of my theology degree. It's a rather obvious joke.
