Millenarianism
Millenarianism (also millenarism), from Latin ''mīllēnārius'' "containing a thousand", is the belief by a religious, social, or political group or movement in a coming major transformation of society, after which all things will be changed. Millenarianism is a concept or theme that exists in many cultures and religions.〔Gould, Stephen Jay. 1997. ''Questioning the millennium: a rationalist's guide to a precisely arbitrary countdown''. New York: Harmony Books, p. 112 (note)〕
==Millennialism==
Millennialism is a specific type of Christian millenarianism, and is sometimes referred to as "chiliasm" from the New Testament use of the Greek ''chilia'' (thousand). It is part of the broader form of apocalyptic expectation. A core doctrine in some variations of Christian eschatology is the expectation of the Second Coming and the establishment of a Kingdom of God on Earth. According to an interpretation of prophecies in the Book of Revelation, this Kingdom of God on Earth will last a thousand years or more (a ''millennium'').〔Kark, Ruth "Millenarism and agricultural settlement in the Holy Land in the nineteenth century," in Journal of Historical Geography, 9, 1 (1983), pp. 47-62〕
The application of an apocalyptic timetable to the establishment or changing of the world has happened in many cultures and religions, and continues to this day, and is not relegated to the sects of major world religions.〔Landes, Richard A. ''Heaven on Earth: The Varieties of the Millennial Experience''. New York: Oxford University Press, 2011. Print.〕
The terms millenarianism and millennialism are often wrongly used interchangeably, but as Gould notes:
