No, and I'm beginning to think that old-timey, highly-coded/metaphorical apocalypse talk is actually referring to infiltration of institutions by genuinely evil people (metaphorically demons). The end of the world is just the end of a civilization as they knew it.

Or a call for your own people to infiltrate those institutions to bring down, say, an occupational government ...

Anyway, they might just not have had the words, like the ancient Greeks with Hephaestus' robots.
