The belief is closely tied to a belief in God, and a belief in prophets, sometimes called Messengers or Manifestations, who have some level of divinity or closeness to God. Almost every religious tradition has some form of prophecy of a return of one of these figures, or the coming of a new figure.

The messianic fervor was notable in the mid 19th century, when many people around the world believed to see the fulfillment of prophesies, and expected the imminent end of the world. It was during this time that many religious movements began, some of them becoming prominent religions of today, like the LDS church, the Bahá'í Faith, the Ahmadiyya movement, and the Jehovah's Witnesses.
