Newton focused on  the year 800 when he calculated the year of the Second Advent, finally obtaining 2060 (= 800 + 1260).


Yet, from a global point of view, it is not 800 but 750 that should be the starting year of Newton's calculation. So, the Second Advent of Christ Jesus already started around 2010 (= 1260 + 750).

Although the city (Pella in Palestine where early Christians fled) was still inhabited as late as the tenth Century CE, it was the deadly earthquake of CE 747 that ended its long history as a city of major influence in the region

In this regard, the year 2010 really indicated the start of the Second Coming of Christ Jesus with various miracles under the ground, under the sea, on the ground, and in the sky.

The year 2011 has really unfolded big turmoils in the human world.  Even the Magnitude 9.0 earthquake off Honsyu Island, northeast Japan, triggered the Fukuhsima Daiichi nuclear accident. It turned to be the greatest man-made disaster.  Subsequently, Osama bin Laden was taken on, Mr. Mubarak was ousted, and finally Gadaffi was shot to death.  The whole Islamic world is undergoing the greatest commotion in 1000 years.  Naturally the EU faces the financial disaster.  The US is experiencing what has never bean heard: the Occupy Wall Street movement.  And the Chinese bubble has apparently stopped with real-estate prices going down 20%.  Russia is going to return to the era of dictatorship.  Even Thailand has suffered  great flooding, having a big influence on Japanese makers and so on.  

Truly, it is time to reflect on human conducts in this material civilization that has entered the phase of globalization of economy.

And, what is expected is of course to return to the God.

Mankind has to admit that this material civilization has failed with so many financial crimes being conducted in America and the EU.  Even technology starts to enter perilous waters with nuclear power technology, DNA/gene-related science, and so on.  Global climate instability is getting intensified.  It is time to leave the faith in material science but return to the faith in God.

The following passages from the Gospel give a very strong impression.

It can be interpreted as foretelling the emergence of Islam.  As Judaists and Christina got out of an allowable range of faith and conducts, God gave a rise to Islam.  Accordingly, the land once Judaists and Christians had occupied was given to Muslims as we see today.  In this context, Judaism and Christianity cannot overcome Islam, as God so decided.

Indeed as Christ Jesus was killed in a situation surrounded by Early Christians, Judaists, and Romans, they all must have faced punishment.  And, after the punishment, namely the fall of Rome, diaspora of Judaists, and suffering of Christians,  Islam finally emerged so that Muslims took over the holy land and the Middle East.

And now 2000 years have passed since the First Coming of Christ.  However, the world is full of evil.  Mankind cannot escape punishment.  But who will God set as the one to take over this world?



Mar 12:2 And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.
Mar 12:3 And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.
Mar 12:4 And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled.
Mar 12:5 And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some.
Mar 12:6 Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.
Mar 12:7 But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be our's.
Mar 12:8 And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
Mar 12:9 What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.
