Tis all a matter of creative and destructive waves of collective consciousness IMHO:
Here's an interesting thought on the "apocalypse" (found at Robert Hitt's AstroEcon):
J. J. Collins, as a part of the Society of Biblical Literature's 1970s commission to systematically analyze apocalyptic literature of both Jewish and Christian origins, cites the resulting collaborative definition:
An apocalypse is a genre of revelatory literature with a narrative framework in which a revelation is mediated by an otherworldly being to a human recipient, disclosing a transcendent reality which is both temporal, insofar as it envisages eschatological salvation, and spatial, insofar as it involves another, supernatural world.
