This study examines, with specific focus on the Ottoman society, certain data concerning the prediction that the end of the world would come in the 1000th year of the Hegira. Using the data obtained, we compared the concept of “Millennialism” in other religious traditions of the Middle East with the Islamic view. Thus, we shed light both on the social and religious life in a certain period of the Ottoman history and on the extent of interaction among religious traditions of the Middle East
