English term or phrase: Heliasmus
"There is one more identifying characteristic of the communist regime: millenarianism (heliasm)."

Is Millenarianism a synonym for heliasm?
nettranslatorde
no - millenarianism = chiliasm
Explanation:
The duration of this glorious reign of Christ and His saints on earth, is frequently given as one thousand years. Hence it is commonly known as the "millennium", while the belief in the future realization of the kingdom is called "millenarianism" (or "chiliasm", from the Greek chilia, scil. ete).
