Introduction

In the bible, an apocalypse is a sudden confrontation with the ultimate meaning of reality. Once something is revealed to you or you have a revelation, often results in clarity that you have to like ot. That's certainly what happened to paul. This thing happened to him, and then it forced him to go into what he calls in galatians, just this period in arabia. Oh, he went at sulla for a while, i think, to just work it all out. So like the apocalypse gave him a new angle of vision, and then he had to go find arity in light of this new vision of reality.
