More Spiritual than Material to Survive for the 22nd Century
The most important thing in life is not the matter between life and death but the one between good and evil as our Lord Jesus Christ taught through His mission in this world 2,000 years ago.
There is the afterlife or the spirit world where human souls go after death in this world. Every soul of dead men continues to live in the spirit world, since souls are generated in the spirit world and come into this material world. Souls of dead men simply return to the spirit world as told by Swedenborg (1688-1772) who were allowed to see the spirit world while living in this world in the 18th century.
Therefore, our Lord Jesus Christ was not afraid of death, which should be the premise in reading the Gospels. Then, what was He afraid of when He was about to be killed on the cross? Jesus Christ was afraid of coming tragedies on the human world since they had sold their souls to Satan to kill Him as a human being. The God would not overlook this atrocity. Realizing the significance of people's blasphemy, Jesus Christ lamented the fate of human beings. Someday the God should forsake the human beings, since they had sold their souls to Satan and helped Satan kill His Son, Jesus Christ.
So, the Gospels or the New Testament should be read not as a tragic life of Jesus Christ but as historic evidence of how much evil thing human beings made so that they were destined to be forsaken by the God someday. And this someday should be about to come after 2,000 years since the death of Jesus Christ as a human being on the cross.
It was 2,000 years after the appearance of Abraham to the first coming of Jesus Christ. And, it is now 2,000 years after the death of Jesus Christ on the cross to the present day. We cannot complain that the judgement of the God on human beings is too rash. In the past 4,000 years, too many souls must have gone to the hells and too few souls must have been allowed to enter Heaven despite the emergence of Abraham and Jesus Christ. There is no wonder that the God will forsake the human beings in the 21st century.
Now, human beings love money more than the God. Their material civilization has been built mostly for pursuit of material happiness. Most souls do not turn to the God even after death in this world. They go to the hells in the spirit world seeking material happiness as they did while living in the material world. Only minorities who loved the God more than money while living in the material world are allowed to enter Heaven to be given eternal spiritual happiness.
The God is almighty and perfectly good. Therefore, men have to love truth of the God and be good as much as possible to be allowed into Heaven.
The most important thing for human beings is not death or life in this world. But, Heaven or the hells in the spirit world or in the afterlife. And the difference of Heaven or the hells is decided according to good or evil they have made while living in the material world.
The present material civilization is not based on holy goodness but on pursuit of material happiness that can be realized by money which is another form of Satan. Therefor, it is assumed that the God will let the human beings see collapse of the material civilization in this century.
However, if we abandoned pursuit of material happiness and money, our Lord Jesus Christ might come to the human world again from the spirit world to save the humankind. We should be more spiritual than material to survive for the 22nd century and more.

Luke 5, King James Version
4 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.
5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.
6 And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.
7 And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.
