As I wrote before, the Second Advent of Christ Jesus has started around 2010. Let's review how it was calculated so.
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).
Under the Abbasids, Islamic civilization flourished in the "Islamic Golden Age" (c. 750 CE - c. 1258 CE), with its capital at the cosmopolitan city of Baghdad.
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.

"(Islamic) Golden Age" (750–1258)

The Battle of Talas (or Battle of Artlakh in 751 AD between the Arab Abbasid Caliphate and the Chinese Tang Dynasty, resulting in transfer of paper production technology from China to Europe.
http://eereporter.blogspot.com/2011/10/greater-than-all.htmlIn a wider scope, a prologue really started in 2001 with the 9/11 Terror Attack. It must have been the last chance for the US to take the initiative in peace of the world. But, President Mr. W. Bush reluctantly pursued Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan and launched an unnecessary war in Iraq for the sake of Dubai, Saudi Arabia, and Israel.
Another prologue was set off, on December 26, 2004, off Sumatra Island, Indonesia, with an M9.1 earthquake and big tsunamis that attacked the Indian Ocean coast lines taking 220,000 lives. As Indonesia is the world largest Islamic nation, this could be regraded as a grave warning to Islamic nations and Muslims.
Then, in 2008, the US triggered the world financial crisis, which has become a major underlying factor of the 2011 Euro Crisis, from Wall Street. The subprime loan crisis symbolized the general atmosphere in the American society so much contaminated by the false American Dream. As the situation was so bad as even GM went bankrupt, the US voters, including swing ones among European Americans, opted for Mr. Barack Obama in the 2008 Presidential Election.
Finally, in 2010, Haiti, so close to New York and Washington DC in a global scope, suffered a great earthquake in its capital Port-au-Prince immediately taking on 50,000 lives and subsequently claiming 250,000 more lives.
Accordingly, on March 11, 2011, an M9.0 earthquake occurred off the northeast part of Honsyu Island, Japan, or in the North Pacific Ocean 350km northeast of Tokyo. It was accompanied by 15-meter high tsunamis one of which attacked the Fukushima Daichi nuclear generation plant where six nuclear reactor units were installed. It resulted in major hydrogen explosions in three reactor units and one minor explosion in one of other units. The earthquake and the tsunamis killed about 20,000 residents but the nuclear accident forced 100,000 Fukushima citizens to evacuate their homes around Fukushima Daiichi.
Truly, the Second Coming of Christ Jesus has really started already with judgment of the God on this human civilization. Souls of innocent victims who lost their lives in this process will be saved in Heaven, but those who were responsible for aggravation of the civilization will not be able to escape the wrath of the God.
