Line 77:
** Revelation itself was an example of apocalyptic literature, an entire genre of turn-of-the-common-era artwork in which this trope was the whole point. Going back even further in [[The Bible]], the Book of Daniel is another example.

* In ''[[The General]]'' series by [[David Drake]] and
* The journal from ''[[The House on the Borderland]]'' recounts a vision (?) of the end of the solar system.
* Stoically averted in ''[[Good Omens]]'': while a good bulk of the book revolves around the prophecies of Agnes Nutter, who predicted the apocalypse down to the slightest detail, and one of the protagonists knows all of them ''by heart'', nothing is ''ever'' revealed in the text before it actually happens.
