The concept is often used with reference to <strong>end<\/strong> or the <strong>collapse<\/strong> of <strong>world<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>For example: <em>\"If the human being continues to act in this way, the apocalypse awaits us\"<\/em>, <em>\"When the apocalypse comes, I want to be at peace with myself and with my neighbors\"<\/em>, <em>\"I don't believe in the apocalypse: somehow, all of this will always continue to work.\"<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>It is known as <strong>Apocalypse<\/strong> or <strong>Book of Revelations<\/strong> to the final section of the <strong>New Testament<\/strong>.  It is a book of the <strong>Bible<\/strong> It has a prophetic style, as it anticipates a series of events that will take place in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Due to its large number of symbolisms, the Apocalypse is a <strong>construction site<\/strong> subject to multiple interpretations.  In fact, the Apocalypse can be understood in different ways according to school of thought or faith.<\/p>\n<p>At a general level, apocalypticism is called the position of the <strong>Judaism<\/strong>, the <strong>Islam<\/strong>, the <strong>Christianity<\/strong> and others <strong>religions<\/strong> regarding the imminence of an apocalypse that will end the world as we know it and that will give way to a new stage after the return or the appearance of a savior.  In this framework, the apocalypse is understood as an act of divine justice since men will be subjected to <strong>Final judgment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>In everyday parlance, the apocalypse is mentioned as a <strong>catastrophe<\/strong> that puts at risk the existence or <strong>condition<\/strong> of things: <em>\"The resignation of the president, at this moment, would be the apocalypse\"<\/em>, <em>\"A new world war would cause an apocalypse\"<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>As a proper name, <strong>Apocalypse<\/strong> (or <em>In Sabah Nur<\/em>) is a fictional character belonging to the stories of the <em>X men<\/em> (<em>X Men<\/em>), a series published by the company <em>Marvel comics<\/em>.  It was created and designed by Louise Simonson and Walter Simonson, respectively;  its first appearance took place in 1986. In addition to the field of <strong>comic books<\/strong>, Apocalypse has appeared in cartoon series, movies, video games, trading cards, and board games, among other products.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Apocalipsis.jpg\" alt=\"Apocalypse\" width=\"260\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-47948\"\/>Revelation is one of the <strong>villains<\/strong> most powerful of the <em>X men<\/em>, and enjoys great popularity among fans.  He is a mutant over five millennia old, hailing from Akkaba, Egypt.  His parents abandoned him when he was still a child, for fear of his appearance, characterized by bluish lips and grayish skin.  A demon named Baal saw his potential and decided to rescue him;  baptized him <em>In Sabah Nur<\/em> and raised him as if he were his own son.<\/p>\n<p>His new tutor taught him that <strong>only the fittest can survive<\/strong>, and this principle seems to be present throughout his life, as Nur achieves mastery through <strong>adaptation<\/strong>.  Abandonment, desolation and disappointment are common elements in his early years, and it is from so much suffering that one day he unleashes all his power and changes his name to Apocalypse, to start a new stage.<\/p>\n<p>Millennia pass, and Apocalypse travels around the world, getting various civilizations in history to worship him as a <strong>God<\/strong>, and manipulates them to test their strength.  One of the most attractive aspects of this character is his ability to transform and improve his abilities, something that he learns from a very advanced alien civilization.<\/p>\n<p>In 2016 a film titled <em>X-Men: Apocalypse<\/em>, directed by Bryan Singer and starring James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Rose Byrne and Oscar Isaac, among others.  Given the impossibility of compressing the entire <strong>story<\/strong> of this intricate character in less than three hours, it is a rough adaptation that focuses on his awakening after thousands of years of inactivity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"kk-star-ratings kksr-auto kksr-align-center kksr-valign-bottom\"\n    data-payload='{&quot;align&quot;:&quot;center&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;686&quot;,&quot;slug&quot;:&quot;default&quot;,&quot;valign&quot;:&quot;bottom&quot;,&quot;ignore&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;reference&quot;:&quot;auto&quot;,&quot;class&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;count&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;legendonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;readonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;score&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;starsonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;best&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;gap&quot;:&quot;4&quot;,&quot;greet&quot;:&quot;Rate this post&quot;,&quot;legend&quot;:&quot;0\\\/5 - (0 votes)&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;24&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;apocalypse&quot;,&quot;width&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;_legend&quot;:&quot;{score}\\\/{best} - ({count} {votes})&quot;,&quot;font_factor&quot;:&quot;1.25&quot;}'>\n            \n<div class=\"kksr-stars\">\n    \n<div class=\"kksr-stars-inactive\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"1\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"2\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"3\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"4\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"5\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n<div class=\"kksr-stars-active\" style=\"width: 0px;\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n                \n\n<div class=\"kksr-legend\" style=\"font-size: 19.2px;\">\n            <span class=\"kksr-muted\">Rate this post<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Greek term apok\u00e1lypsis led to apocalypsis, a word from late Latin,&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":687,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-686","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-definition"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/686","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=686"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/686\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/687"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=686"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=686"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=686"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
