A New Civilization on Spiritualism but not on Materialism
The history must be regarded as a proof gf God's interference with the human world. The truth of God's will must be discovered in the human history. In other word, the God has left clues as to why various events have occurred in the human history.
For example, the time span from Abraham to Christ Jesus is 2,000 years, and that from Christ Jesus to the present day is also 2,000 years. That is why we have to prepare for a drastic event in this 21st century as the Jewish people had to prepare for a drastic event (namely, appearance of Christ Jesus) 2,000 years ago.
It should be also noted that various spiritual or religious incidents happened about 500 years before the birth of Christ Jesus: the establishment of Judaism; Socrates and Plato establishing ancient Greek philosophy; the Buddha Gautama launching Buddhism; ancient Chinese philosophy and religion promoted by Confucius, Lao-tze, etc.
And, Columbus discovered the New World (the Americas) over the Atlantic on the opposite side of Europe, where the Vatican presided, about 500 years ago from today. And then, North America has become a key place for development of various non-Catholic Christian churches, although Catholic churches have prevailed in Central and South Americas. Looking back from today, the U.S. has given the most influential and critical influences to the world since the 19th century over WWI and WWII.
That is why we have to prepare for great spiritual/religious/martial incident in the 21st century, since Christ Jesus started His mission to be crucified and the Jerusalem Temple collapsed through the Jewish-Roman War in the first century. Indeed, Isaac Newton and Swedenborg wrote in the 18th century that a great incident such as the end of the world or the Last Judgment should occur a few centuries later or around 2060.
Indeed, the 21st century must correspond to the first century.
In this context, it should be noted that the Holy Mary appeared in her apparition in various parts (such as Fatima) in the world since the late 19h century.
This is why we have to prepare for WWIII and great natural disasters to happen leading to collapse of the present material civilization symbolized by big cities such as New York, London, Paris, Rome, Tokyo, Shanghai, etc.
What's more, before the rapid development of modern science/technology in the 20th century, spiritualism with appearances of many various psychics had been focused on in the U.S., England, Japan, etc. But, as the material civilization was further expanded, the spiritualism boom was somehow subdued. People have not paid much attention even to Marian apparitions that were made rather in spiritual forms without enough scientific evidence.
So, we have to focus on spiritual matters after the 21st century like Christianity prevailing in the Roman Empire, etc. after the first century. And, a new civilization should be built on spiritualism but not on materialism.

Matthew 6, King James Version
27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
