Dictionaries define "the apocalypse" as a cosmic cataclysm in which God destroys the ruling powers of evil. Judaism does make mention of this, as the prayerbook includes the phrase "You (God) will remove the evil rulership from the Earth." However, knowledgeable Jews refrain from making detailed predictions, since "we won't know (exactly) how they (the relevant prophecies) will come to pass, until they have been fulfilled" (Maimonides, laws of Melachim ch.12).
In Judaism, the concept of the apocalypse is not as prominent as in other belief systems. While there are references to eschatological events in Jewish scripture, the focus is more on the idea of ultimate redemption and the coming of the Messiah rather than a catastrophic end of the world scenario. Ultimately, the emphasis is on leading a righteous life and fulfilling one's moral obligations.
