Definition
The religious belief that Christ will return and rule the Earth for a thousand years; millennialism.
Etymology
Greek khilioi (thousand) + -asm (belief or practice); from Christian theology interpreting the Book of Revelation's description of a thousand-year reign.
Kelly Says
Chiliasm became wildly popular during times of crisis—when people suffered, they clung to the belief that a perfect thousand-year kingdom was coming, which is why it surged in medieval times and during plagues.
