In this era where you feel strongly that the spirit of millenarian " end of the world", either for the messages of Our Lady's apparitions in Medjugorje monthly, you for today new age followers who identify in some Mayan prophecy (which is not a prophecy but an end of the calculation of the calendar) in 2012 as a turning point, I naturally turn to the past and consider the thought of millenarian distinguished theologians of the Middle Ages.
