- Millenarianism or millenarism (from Latin , "containing a thousand") is the belief by a religious, social, or political group or movement in a coming fundamental transformation of society, after which "all things will be changed". [1] Millenarianism exists in various cultures and religions worldwide, with various interpretations of what constitutes a transformation. [2] These movements believe in radical changes to society after a major cataclysm or transformative event.[3] Millenarianist movements can be secular (not espousing a particular religion) or religious in nature,[4] and are therefore not necessarily linked to millennialist movements in Christianity.
