Mt. Fuji from around TokyoThe End of the Current Material Civilization based on Money and Wealth
The 21st century is the era that can be regraded as proceeding to the end of the material civilization based on Christianity but guided by Satan since the first century when the Lord Jesus Christ first appeared in the human history. Remarkably He mentioned about this era:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.Indeed, it can be considered that the world is proceeding toward WWIII and the great natural disasters with wars in Ukraine and the global warming.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. (Matthew 24)In reference to a prediction by Isaac Newton, a notable 18th century scientist, WWIII and the great natural disasters will happen around 2060 or in the middle of this century, leading to collapse of the current material civilization and putting the end to the era that started with the first coming of Christ Jesus 2,000 years ago. Indeed, it had taken 2,000 years since the days of Abraham to those of the Lord Jesus Christ, and it has taken 2,000 years since the days of the Lord Jesus Christ to the 21st century. So, our Lord Jesus Christ might come again to save the world around 2060.
It is because the current material civilization is against the teaching of the God:35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,
36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. (Matthew 22)
Indeed, people in the current civilization love money, wealth, and high status with all their hearts, souls, and minds while loving themselves over poor neighbors. It is opposite to the God's teaching as stated by the Lord Jesus Christ. Science, technologies, systems, thoughts, etc. in this civilization have been developed for increasing material wealth and happiness but not for promoting our love to the God and poor neighbors. It looks like we have followed Satan who wants to destroy our faith in the God.
Now, the mankind has obtained the ability to manipulate DNA and genes, use the Artificial Intelligence, and develop advanced nuclear weapons. We have obtained the ability to annihilate the mankind, interfere with natural conditions of living things, or change natural environments of the earth, while there is no power to restrict abuse of the ability. Indeed, Satan has helped the mankind to develop the material civilization while intensifying their material desires. Now, the level of the human material civilization has come into perilous waters. The mankind has come so far away from the God's teaching. Something terrible should happen, since Satan who has guided us with money to this point is so irresponsible, wicked, and evil. Satan must want to see debacle of the human civilization due to recklessly advanced products of our civilization.
Looking back at the human history, it seems natural that end of the human civilization is coming, since we cannot expect more support from the God as we have neglected the God for so long while loving money so much.
However, if we start to love the God more than money, which is another form of Satan, the Lord Jesus Christ might come to this world again to save the mankind.
However, if we start to love the God more than money, which is another form of Satan, the Lord Jesus Christ might come to this world again to save the mankind.
Anyway, we cannot make a man immortal by engineering DNA or genes, bring the human civilization to higher levels close to the God by using AI computers, or realize Heaven in this world through more advanced science and technologies.
Finally, the End of the current material civilization based on money and wealth more than the God's teaching must come close as Newton's 2060 is not so far away.

John 1, King James Version
19 And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?
20 And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.
21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.
22 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
23 He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.
24 And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.
