The Apocalypse has many interpretations. In the context of religion, apocalypse is the revelation or disclosure of something hidden. In the Norse mythology, it is close to the Ragnarok which is the doom of gods and humans but more on the doom of humans later on. Today, in our modern times, it is a term that refers to as the end of our times or the end of the world we live in. While this necessarily involves blowing up the world into smithereens wherein any pre-need companies in the Philippines or anywhere in the world can’t save you or prevent it from taking place, it still revolves around in the concept of the present world seizing to operate.

This has become some of the most used concept and plot in most movies and TV series today. The Walking Dead TV series, for example, takes place in a post-apocalyptic setting wherein the dead comes back to life and mindlessly attacks other people for some reason that hasn’t been unfolded yet. Some of the most cliché ends of the world plot involve visitors from outer space attacking us. In Bethesda’s best-selling game series, Fallout, a nuclear breakdown has caused people to run to underground shelters.

It is just crazy to think that while some people are planning their future and making sure that everything is taken care of by taking advantage of plans that are offered by pre-need companies, there are still things that can really blow things out of proportion. Well, literally. Let us look up some of the famous theories on how the civilization will seize to function.
