chiliasm

This false teaching wreaks terrible harm, lulling to sleep the spiritual vigilance of the faithful and suggesting them that the end of the world is far away {if in fact there will be an end} ,and therefore there is no particular need to watch and pray,to which Christ the Saviour constantly called his followers {Mt.26-41} since everything in the world is gradually getting better and better spiritual progress keeping step with materialism.
