Should have known.......it probably comes from the bible....most likely new and old testaments. Why is it everyone wants the world to end? To my knowledge, it sure beats the alternative[s].

apocalypse:

1 a : one of the Jewish and Christian writings of 200 b.c. to a.d. 150 marked by pseudonymity, symbolic imagery, and the expectation of an imminent cosmic cataclysm in which God destroys the ruling powers of evil and raises the righteous to life in a messianic kingdom b capitalized : revelation 3

2 a : something viewed as a prophetic revelation b : armageddon

3 : a great disaster <an environmental apocalypse>


At least now we know its not just an American concept.
