For the sake of your paper and common sense maybe you should look into what the word Apocalypse actually means in the original Greek rather than how Merriam Webster defines it instead of perpetuating a false sense of fear the word has registered with its use over the ages. Hint: it means to unveil or uncover.

Interesting your first quote of Jesus doesn't mention the word yet describes an event many would tell you (including myself) that has already passed. 70 AD to be exact.

The way I look at it is you have the choice to either feed fear or look forward to a much better world. I choose the latter.
