A Great Upheaval to Come for Christianity and other Religions
When looking back in the history, it should be noted that Swedenborg, an 18th century great psychic, wrote that he witnessed the last judgement being performed in the spirit world around 1760 so as to clear the spirit space by driving evil spirits out of there so as to make the spirit world more clearly separated from the hells. He also wrote that the effect of the last judgement in the spirit world should appear in the human world in a century or two.
Then, from the end of the 19th century to the early 20th century, spiritualism emerged in Europe and America, partly challenging conventional views on Christianity and other conventional religions. And, in the science field, the quantum physics was created in the early 20th century to change the view of scientists on the nature, introducing revolutionary ideas to Newton's paradigms on the universe and the nature. Along with development of science and technology, the world came to see more larger scales of wars such as WWI and WWII.
In this trend, Virgin Mary came to appear more frequently to children and young people in Europe, delivering warnings about coming tragedies due to ever decreasing faith among people. Indeed, WWII occurred in late 1930s and the cold war with a possibility of nuclear warfare continued till 1991. However, with the end of WWII and the collapse of the Soviet Union, the world seemed to enter the era of peace and prosperity, but at the start of the 21th century, the 9/11 Terror occurred, leading to a decade or more of the War on Terror. And, the global financial crisis ensued, although the U.S. could get through these crises in the early 21st century with the election of the first black president Obama and denial of the 2nd term of abnormal president Trump. Yet, the autocratic countries such as China and Russia have expanded their influence and military activities. Finally, in 2020s the world has seen the global pandemic of the corona-virus started in China and the invasion by Russia into Ukraine. There seem no possibilities of this current trend being settled so soon. Virgin Mary's warnings still seem to be valid: The God will punish the mankind soon since so many people have sold their souls to Satan to be destined to falling down into the hells.
In the first century, Jewish people had lived rather easily and peacefully till Crist Jesus started His mission around A.D. 30. And, they lost Jerusalem through the Jewish Roman War around A.D. 70. And, at the end of the 1st century, all the Jewish people were forced to leave Palestine into the diaspora that continued to the 20th century. Therefore, the 21st century might see such a great upheaval as seen in the 1st century with the Jewish people including early Christians. And, in this coming upheaval in the 21st century, Christianity and other religions might undergo great changes like the Judaism in the 1st century.

3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.
4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
