Premillennial Christian apocalyptic beliefs are a dominant force in American society, with Hal Lindsey’s The Late Great Planet Earth the best-selling book of the 1970s and Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins of Left Behind fame managing to outsell John Grisham in 2001. In the Buffyverse as in premillennialist Christianity, the world is always ending. Every season has ended with the existence of either Sunnydale or the entire world at stake. David Lavery has commented on these apocalyptic endings as analogous to a human need for a narrative in his article “Apocalyptic Apocalypses: The Narrative Eschatology of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.” These apocalypses, however, provide meaning to the lives of the characters of the Buffyverse themselves, functioning much the same way as the apocalypse does for Christians. Battling apocalyptic forces, for instance, will grant Angel his ultimate redemption in the form of becoming human. Further, the apocalypses of Buffy reveal a worldview that is analogous to that of premillennialist Christians—most humans are blithely unaware of the supernatural battles occurring around them just as in premillennialist fiction where only the Elect are aware of the power of the anti-Christ. Buffy and the scoobies serve as an Elect, driving back the demonic and supernatural from overpowering the Earth, all the while commenting that no one will ever know.  Comparing the apocalypses of Buffy to the dominant apocalyptic form in American society reveals much about the worldview of the Buffyverse characters (and their creators) and how they are playing on an old Christian theme.
