A style of writing that uses wild imagery to reveal hidden spiritual truths
From the Greek 'apokalypsis' meaning 'unveiling' or 'revelation.' Apocalyptic literature uses dramatic symbols — beasts, angels, cosmic battles, numbers — to communicate that God is in control and will ultimately win. Revelation is the most famous example, but Daniel and parts of Ezekiel use it too. It was written to encourage persecuted people, not to scare them.
