In many religious and occult concepts, an apocalypse usually discloses something very important or hidden.. the belief is usually accompanied by the idea that civilization will soon come to a turbulent end, due to some sort of catastrophic global event. These views and movements often focus on cryptic revelations about a sudden, dramatic, and cataclysmic intervention of God in history; the judgment of all men; the salvation of the faithful elect; and the eventual rule with God.. in a renewed heaven and earth, and while many have their own theories of what the Book of Revelations actually means, one very religious couple from Alcoa, Tennessee, took the literal Biblicial Armageddon interpretation of Revelations Chapter 20 Verse 6, as a blueprint to survive the end of the world. The couple was so convinced it would happen in their lifetime, and that afterwards they would be one of the 144,000 righteous souls who would live on Earth with Jesus for another 1,000 years, prompting them to build an indestructible fortress to wait out this supposed incoming Armageddon, and From 1938 to 1946..the Nicholson's, both in their sixties, constructed what is known today as Millennium Manor.
