This article appears in Volume V02, Page 169 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ANC-APO
APOCALYPSE (Gr. aaoKaXvti/hr, disclosure) , a
term
  applied to the disclosure to certain privileged persons of something hidden from the
mass
  of men. The Greek root corresponds in the
Septuagint
  to the Heb. galah, to reveal. The last book of the New Testament bears in Greek the
title
  'ATo,iavdhs 'Iwavvov, and is frequently referred to as the
Apocalypse
  of John, but in the
English
  Bible it appears as. the
Revelation
  of St John the Divine (see
REVELATION
 ). Earlier among the hellenistic
Jews
  the
term
  was used of a number of writings which depicted in a prophetic and parabolic way the end or future state of the world (e.g.
Apocalypse
  of
Baruch
 ), the whole class is now commonly known as Apocalyptic Literature (q.v.).
