Recognizing and defining what is meant by a literary genre of apocalypse must be the starting point—and many a tack has been taken. Some pastors are content to define this literature merely along the straightforward meaning of the word ‘apokalypsis’—literally rendered ‘revelation’ (see Revelation 1:1). As such, this genre is an ‘unveiling’—a ‘pulling back of the curtain’ on the unseen transcendent world and its role in bringing this present world to an end. This definition is good, but it does not go far enough.
