The Apocalypse of John, with its striking images, which transport us to the Lamb's wedding dinner, to the cosmic destruction of evil and to the formation of a new heaven and a new earth, was widely read in the early Church, although it was interpreted in several ways.

Afternoon 14c., “revelation, revelation”, from the Latin of the Apocalyptic Church “revelation”, from the Greek apokalyptein “uncover, reveal, reveal”, from the apo “out, away from” + kalyptein “cover, hide”, from the root PIE “cover, hide, save”. The story of the end of the Christian world is part of the revelation of the book of John of Patmos “Apokalypsis” (a title translated into English as Apocalypse c. 1050, “Apocalypse” c. 1230, and “Apocalypse” by Wyclif c. 1380).

Apocalypse is an apocalyptic prophecy with an epistolary introduction addressed to seven churches in the Roman province of Asia. “Apocalypse” means the revelation of the divine mysteries; John must write down what is revealed (what he sees in his vision) and send it to the seven churches.

According to the Book of Apocalypse in the New Testament of the Bible, Armageddon (/listen to Armagedōn, from ancient Greek: Har Megiddo) is the prophesied place of a meeting of armies for a battle during the end of time.
