Apocalyptic – of, relating to, or resembling an apocalypse

I encountered the word by hearing “Apocalyp.” It does sound like Apocalypse and Apocalypse means the complete final destruction of the world, especially as described in the biblical book of Revelation. In “A literary visitor strolls in from the airport,” it says “…when ranting a diatribe he buries in the garden of his ex-wife is dug up five centuries later, in a now post-apocalyptic world.” It says world after apocalyptic so I thought it would mean something like Apocalypse

Example: The form of apocalyptic is a literary form; for we cannot suppose that the writers experienced the voluminous and detailed visions we find in their books.
