A szombatosok chiliazmusa
Sabbatarian Millenarism

Summary/Abstract: It is to be regretted that concerning the Hungarian speaker territories there is no detached review about the millenarism, in the reformation era wide-spread phenomenon. These manifestations of enthusiasm remained in the background of the historiographical interest, in most of the cases they were handled like insane fantasies. The opinions differ regarding the existence of sabbatarian millenarism too. This essay brings textual proofs for the existence of these expectations, and tries to outline the state of these beliefs. The question is exciting because the sabbatarians were attached to the christianism just with the belief of Jesus-Messiah. The thesis of the millenarianism came up with the reformation by them too, but in consequence of their specifi c lore system they had to develop an unique conception concerning this question too. As it is shown in this essay, it seems there weren’t any excited and hot expectations between them. In the beginning of the movement we can still meet ideas, which are deriving mainly from the Christianity, and these ideas later, with the activity of Simon Péchi slowly pass to judaic messianism.
