apocalypse (n.) late 14c., "revelation, disclosure," from Church Latin apocalypsis "revelation," from Greek apokalyptein "uncover, disclose, reveal," from apo "off, away from" (see apo-) + kalyptein "to cover, conceal," from PIE root *kel- (1) "to cover, conceal, save." The Christian end-of-the-world story is part of the revelation in John of Patmos' book "Apokalypsis" (a title rendered into English as pocalipsis c. 1050, "Apocalypse" c. 1230, and "Revelation" by Wyclif c. 1380).

Its general sense in Middle English was "insight, vision; hallucination." The meaning "a cataclysmic event" is modern (not in OED 2nd ed., 1989); apocalypticism "belief in an imminent end of the present world" is from 1858. As agent nouns, "author or interpreter of the 'Apocalypse,'" apocalypst (1829), apocalypt (1834), and apocalyptist (1824) have been tried.

You're projecting again...

Listen, I get that everybody is a jew and there's a jew behind everything with types like you. Reality is that your entire thought process revolves solely around jews. Face it, you got completely jewed and now you see jews everywhere. They are literally living in your head rent free now, that's a fact In the end, the only real difference between you and a jew is the foreskin

Nah, bro, I know you heard the word projecting because you do it so often, but even you're CNN source doesn't say jews invented toilets. In fact, it says the exact opposite and that they were rare but had been around for a long time. You're just too retarded to understand that.
