Definition: Apocopes, also known as Apocalypses in Greek, are a group of biblical prophecies that indicate the endtimes (the time when the earth will be destroyed) and the beginning of the Millennium, which refers to the period from 600 AD until Christ's return. These events were foretold by Jesus himself and include the rise and fall of Judas Iscariot, the birth of the Christ, and his death at Golgotha. The apocopes refer to specific events that are later interpreted as part of a larger historical or eschatological pattern, much like how we might expect our current lives to shape the future.
