We Are Living the Apocalypse—and That’s a Good Thing

The word apocalypse has long been misunderstood. Thanks to Hollywood and fear-based theology, we’ve come to associate it with destruction, fire, and the end of the world. But the true meaning of apocalypse comes from the Greek apokálypsis, which means to unveil—a revelation, not annihilation.
We are in the midst of that unveiling now.

From ancient prophecy to modern consciousness, the signs are aligning. The Prophecy of the Popes, a mysterious set of Latin predictions attributed to Saint Malachy, foretold the succession of 112 popes. If interpreted literally, Pope Francis—the son of Pietro—would be the final one, known as Peter the Roman. The final verse speaks of tribulations, the fall of the seven-hilled city, and a great judgment.
But judgment isn’t always punishment. It can also be the moment of realization.
This is not the end of humanity. It’s the end of illusion.
What is falling is not the Earth—it’s the structures that have ruled over our minds and spirits. Rome, the symbol of institutional control over the divine, may not burn to the ground, but its authority is crumbling. Because when we awaken to the divine spark within us, we no longer need permission to connect with God. We are that connection.
The return of Christ isn’t about a man descending from the sky. It’s about a consciousness rising within. Christ is not a name—it’s a title. A frequency. A state of unity with the Divine. As Gnostic traditions suggest, “Christ” is not a name but a title—meaning “the anointed one”—and while it became synonymous with Jesus, it refers to a state of divine embodiment that can awaken in anyone. the Christ is not limited to Jesus, but lives within all of us. It is a spark waiting to be lit.

The apocalypse, then, is not something to fear. It’s something to celebrate. It is the moment when the veil lifts.
When we see clearly that salvation was never locked away in stone walls or ancient rituals. It has always been within us. The Gnostics called this gnosis—inner knowing. And this knowing is rising in humanity now.
The universe is not something we live in. It is something we are co-creating. We are not separate from God—we are expressions of God.
And so the unveiling continues.
Not the end of the world, but the end of the lie.
The end of separation.
The return of truth.
The return of Christ—not the man, but the way.
