Are you prepared, you sons of men, for the horrible truth to be revealed?
Apocalypse means ''the lifting of the veil''.

It could mean " a new beginning " or any other of the many descriptions....

When speaking of the apocalypse, do you know what the most horrifying aspect of all really is to men? It's not the prospect of comets raining from the sky that is most horrifying of all. It's not the idea of myriad mushroom clouds arising from an annihilated surface of the world. Not the hunger, or the proposed starvation; nor the water as blood; the true horror to the minds of men isn't the end of all physical things. Nope. The TRUE horror in the minds of men is this: that they were wrong.
You see, this is the greatest and most horrifying scenario the mind of men can actually comprehend: being proven wrong. Men like to read things about subjects they're not competant to talk about. They dabble in "science" and "religion", filling their minds with everything the "authorities" tell them is the "truth", and then- armed with the words of other people- they set about the world, talking and talking and talking about things they're not competent to talk about. Individuals find other groups saying the same things they have learned to say; then they all nod eagerly at each other in their group, and pat themselves on the backs for being some damn intelligent.
Of course, the opposing group of ignorant buffoons couldn't reason their way out of a wet paper bag. The one group just can't "get it" how the opposing group could be so horribly deceived. After all, they're simply wrong, and the FACTS PROVE IT. Only a complete FOOL can't see that! The evidence is always on their side, and the facts always support their words, and, please- this stuff is all so absurdly CLEAR you'd have to be a complete moron not to realize how right they are.
Find a good woman and ask her, how difficult is it to get a man to admit he may have been mistaken? That's he's not really as smart as he's lead himself to believe? How difficult for a man to acknowledge his error? She will tell you- a virtual impossiblity. Nothing matters. The evidence is always on his side. The facts don't lie. He couldn't possibly be wrong. The most horrific thing to the minds of men: to be proven wrong. To REVEAL that he was a complete buffoon the whole time. That he is not intelligent- not even remotely intelligent. And everything he every said was right- was in fact wrong. This is the true horror of the apocalypse.
The word means "to reveal"- to reveal something hidden. Information. A revelation that will burn worlds. A revelation that will cause men to screech and wail and gnash their teeth. A revelation so horrifically gut-wrenching, so unimaginably terrible, so burning with a fire so fierce. Not a comet strike. No. Not a holocaust. Child's play. No FEMA death camps. Ha! A revelation infinitely more horrifying than all of these rolled into one. A revelation of three simple words:
You were wrong.
You see, it really does come down to this: men are so hopelessly ignorant- yet so utterly convinced of their own intelligence- that you really do have to burn the world to the ground just to get them to admit they were wrong.
Are you prepared, you sons of men, for the horrible truth to be revealed?

Can we still burn the worlds though?
Cause that would be fun.

The most horrifying thing about it is manipulative, inhumane, child-damning, dehumanizing, repressed, deluded, tyrannical, exiles from the bronze age like you.
