Contemporary Millenarian Movements

Contemporary millenarian movements are social or religious groups that believe in a major, transformative event—often involving a spiritual or divine intervention—that will significantly change the world or society. These movements typically emerge during times of social unrest or uncertainty, offering followers hope for a better future through their prophetic visions. They can range from new religious groups to social movements, emphasizing renewal, salvation, or an impending apocalypse. While some are peaceful and focus on spiritual awakening, others may be more radical or revolutionary in their outlook.
