millenarianismn.

Brit. /ˌmɪlᵻˈnɛːrɪənɪz(ə)m/, U.S. /ˌmɪləˈnɛriəˌnɪz(ə)m/
Forms: 1800s– millenarianism, 1900s– millennarianism (nonstandard). Also with capital initial.
Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: millenarian adj., -ism suffix.
Etymology: < millenarian adj. + -ism suffix. Compare earlier millenarism n., millennianism n.On spelling variation see note s.v. millennium n.
The doctrine of or belief in the coming of a millennium: (Christian Church) the belief in a future thousand-year age of blessedness, beginning with or culminating in the Second Coming of Christ. In extended use: belief in a future golden age of peace, justice, and prosperity, typically posited on an end to the existing world order.Millenarianism is central to the teaching of such Christian groups as Adventists, Mormons, and Jehovah's Witnesses. Belief in a one-thousand-year period of messianic rule is also found in some rabbinic texts. In the late 20th century numerous Christian and non-Christian millenarian movements arose, founded on prophecies of a future world order in which the faithful were to be rewarded.The apparently discrepant beliefs about the relationship of the Second Coming to the millennium derive from differing interpretations of the key text, Revelation 20 (see millenarian adj. 1a).
