millenarian movements

Millenarian movements are social or religious movements that anticipate a significant, often transformative event—such as a coming of a new age or the end of the current world order—that will bring about profound change, improvement, or salvation. These movements typically emerge during times of social upheaval or crisis, offering followers hope for divine intervention or a radical new beginning. They can vary widely in beliefs and practices but share a common focus on anticipating a future event that will radically alter society or human existence.
