millenarianadj.n.

Brit.

/ˌmɪlᵻˈnɛːrɪən/, U.S.

/ˌmɪləˈnɛriən/

Forms: 1600s– millenarian, 1700s– millennarian (now nonstandard). Also with capital initial.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin, combined with an English element. Etymons: Latin millenarius , -an suffix.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin millenarius millenary n. and adj. + -an suffix. Compare French millénaire , adjective and noun (1662). Compare earlier millenary n. and adj.On spelling variation see note s.v. millennium n.

A. adj.

1. Relating to or believing in the coming of a millennium.

a. Christian Church. Of or relating to the belief in a future (and typically imminent) thousand-year age of peace and righteousness associated with the Second Coming of Christ.Owing to differing interpretations of its key source (Revelation 20:1–5), there are two distinct categories of millenarian believer: those who hold that the millennium will follow the Second Coming (known as pre-millenialists) and those who maintain that Christ will return to earth at its close (post-millenialists). This explains the development of apparently discrepant senses meaning ‘apocalyptic’ and ‘utopian’. Post-millenialism was ruled heretical by the Holy Office of the Roman Catholic Church in 1944.
