Edinger describes this phenomenon as such in this book:
>(ppl possessed by the apocalypse archetype) generally express themselves in religious (archetypal) terminology. The enemy is seen as the Principle of Objective evil (Devil) and the zealot perceives himself as the 'heroic' agent of divine or Objective Justice (God). Zealots are possessed by transpersonal, archetypal dynamisms deriving from the collective unconscious.
 
(hopefully this is more Troll and less possession for Mr Twitch's sake....it can also lead to the start of the individuation process if one doesn't lose their shit (or is able to regather it))

Nonfiction Book Review: Archetype of the Apocalypse
I just want to say right quick that to take this shit literally would be, well, stupid.
A metaphoric approach to this book would be better. Because that way we get a glimpse of what other apocalyptic cults have going on under hood.
There's a lot of shit taken directly from the book of Ezekiel. Along with a few standard mythological shit - i.e. the birth of the child from the sun moon woman - the greek myth of leto.
Anyway - i implore you to not take this literally.
"So to summarize: the "archetype of the Apocalypse" is the activation of the archetype of the Self--the central archetype of meaning--that is bringing with it some new worldview, a new God-image, a new relationship to the Divine, and a new stage of psychological maturation for the whole earth. And I suggest "whole earth" as this process appears to be working itself out throughout the world, albeit at varying rates of speed depending on just how deep established cultural roots are. But it's clear Africa has lost its earlier spiritual framework, and India and China are both in some sort of spiritual crisis similar to what was seen in the West during the 1800s."
