Millenarianism

Millenarianism is a belief that a dramatic, transformative event—often involving the end of current world conditions—will occur, leading to a new era of peace, justice, or spiritual renewal. These movements typically anticipate a significant period, such as a thousand years (hence “millenarian”), when divine intervention or revolutionary change will bring about a utopian society. Often rooted in religious, prophetic, or radical expectations, millenarianism can inspire both hopeful movements and radical actions, reflecting a deep desire for societal or spiritual renewal driven by the vision of a better future.
