In 2000s, similar events may be expected to happen. As it was also 2000 years from Abraham's departure of Ur in Mesopotamia to the first appearance of Christ Jesus, and it had been also 2000 years since the 40th century BC to Abraham.
The 40th century BC:
In Mesopotamia, the Uruk period began; in Europa, the Pit–Comb Ware culture started by those thought to have still mostly followed the Mesolithic hunter-gatherer lifestyle, with traces of early agriculture; in the near East, the Naqada culture started in Egypt; the early Jōmon period with use of clay potteries for cooking began on the islands of Japan; and more than 100 dwellings surrounding a community center, a cemetery and a kiln were built in Jiangzhai, near modern Xi'an, China.

Now in 2000s:
In America, the 9/11 Terror occurred in New York and Washington D.C.; the financial crisis started from the Wall Street; the first African American President was elected; and the first President from real-estate/entertainment business was elected.
In Europe, the UK decided to leave the EU; the EU accepted many immigrants from the Middle East and Africa; and Russia further pursued militarism.
In China increased its aggressive behaviors to the world while causing trade disputes with the U.S.
In Japan, the great earthquake and a nuclear power plant accident occurred while suffering decade-long deflation.
And presently in 2020, the whole world is in the corona-virus pandemic. Isaac Newton predicted that the start toward the end of the world might begin after 2060. The advanced science of the mankind cannot completely conquer this pandemic or prevent occurrence of this kind of pandemics. So, the mankind will probably cannot evade the fate predicted by Newton in the early 18th century.
Therefore, it is foreseen that, like in the first century, the Christ Jesus will come around 2030, but He will be rejected by the mankind while some people will repent and change their minds to follow Him and accomplish His mission. Yet, a great war or WWIII will be erupted and great cities in the world will be destroyed as a consequence around 2070. And, the mankind will realize that the end of the world has started...
In this context, the mankind will know that the end of the world has started around 2060.
And in my estimate, it might take further 2000 years till robots or other living things take over completely the world from the mankind.

Matthew 6 King James Version (KJV)
18 That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.
19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
