Apocaplytpic literature is the writing of the defeated.
Having lost their vision of national events, they turn away from social justice.
They retreat into private religion, with its rewards in a future outside of history.
They have rejected a vital faith for artificial schemes.

Doesn't apocalyptic literature give a pass on taking responsibility for the well being of the earth and culture? I seem to hear a lot of "it's all going to hell, get the people into lifeboats, don't worry about everything else, God's gonna make us a new one anyway."
That's weak.
I hope we're judged for what we did between the covers of the bible not for what we thought about the end of the world.
