The end is near is such an outdated cliche’.
Everyone is happy and there is no longer a need for an invisible God.
2000 years is a long time to wait for Jesus to return. It is also long enough for generations to totally forget about Him and for people to think that He never even existed. If it seems like people have erased God from culture now, what will things be like in the year 3000 and beyond?
980 years from now, technology and knowledge will increase to the point that all of life will become filled with leisure and abundance. People will no longer feel the need to look to a higher power for answers. People will trust science and super computers to repair any malady and answer any conundrum.
The words of God found in the Bible are already considered hate speech and politically incorrect. Augmented and virtual reality can seemingly satisfy any and every fantasy to the point of people being so addicted that they never even get out of their beds.
People will be so used to having bio-mechanical implants in their bodies that that the idea of using coins or paper for money will be laughable. Cash and cards will be so outdated that it will be like us thinking about bartering with beans and chickens, What the bible calls the mark of the beast will be accepted as completely normal and the very few people left on the Earth that have not integrated into the system and taken the mark will exist only in the shadows.
Universal basic income will provide for humanity’s every need and hunger will belong only to those who do not conform to the image of this world.
The only question that will remain unanswered is, “What happens when we die?” Computers and scientist have made many suggestions but humans will still have an unshakable fear about the afterlife.
Jesus will remain humanity's only Hope. Will there be anyone left who will still believes in Him?
Somehow I don't think the future is going to go down like that. Nothing against you or your theory. I just know that the people in power like to stay in power. There's a lot of technology that's coming out that will allow them to control the masses like never before. They're not going to let an opportunity like this go to waste.
I think that if humanity lasts another 980 years, most of the people will be enslaved all their lives and they'll live off scraps while the rich and powerful live lives of intrigue and trying to supplant each other. Just my thoughts. Regardless, I don't know there would be anyone then who would believe in Jesus. He'll probably come back sooner than that though!

I really like the mental exercise of the the "what if" scenario. I think some questions I would probably have would be:
What would it like to be human? Will that in itself be redefined?
What will the family structure look like? Will the world be subject to one culture or will there still be any diversity left?
Will man still be on earth? Will man have a greater presence, perhaps even colonization and exploration, in space?
I think you have some good thoughts. You think about some of the reasons why people even are Christians. For instance, many are brought up in Christian homes. Will that even be a thing? People turn to Jesus in desperation and need, but when you take certain needs out of the equation, do they still turn to him?
I also consider how our emotions play a role in our longing and breaking, and when you physically and chemically alter the body in a way where it's not able to have natural processes of emotion, then where does that leave one in their own pursuit of God?
I'm very interested to see more of these musings and where it takes you!

Humanism seeks only what is rational and logical. An artifically intelligent super computer would provide both ratioal and logical solutions.
