"Millennial religious and communal movements typically anticipate the imminent
and literal end of what they view as a profoundly wicked, corrupt existing
world order and its replacement by a glorious "new heaven and new earth," in
which "the first shall be last and the last first, " Describing millennial
groups this way implies that they must be inherently "revolutionary" in their
underlying goals and their impact upon the larger social order that they
criticize so harshly"
