apocalyptic visions
Catastrophic future glimpses
Apocalyptic visions are prophetic images of catastrophic world-ending events—divine judgment, cosmic destruction, the collapse of civilization.
The phrase appears in religious contexts describing biblical prophecy and in secular ones describing dire warnings: The documentary presented apocalyptic visions of climate catastrophe.
Someone prone to apocalyptic visions tends toward dramatic predictions of doom.
