Scoffers

Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come....They will say, "Where is this ‘coming’ he promised?....everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation."....But do not forget this one thing.....With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:3-4,8-9

Ah, yes. The scoffers. Those who do not want to believe, are not willing to believe, therefore refuse to believe, the Word of God. Uh-huh, but they will believe ANYTHING else. Occultism, Eastern Mysticism, pseudo-science, Al Gore, Stephen Hawking, Voo-doo! God keeps His promises, people. We know that, because He always has done what He said He would do. God is not controlled by time. We are, therefore we are impatient. In eternity, all that has been promised has already been accomplished. It is we who haven't arrived there yet. We live in time for a reason. It is training, for one thing, to teach us to manage our priorities. Each of us has 24 hours in each earth rotation, do do with as we will. We can't have everything, so decisions must be made. We didn't choose our time to be born, and we will not choose our time of departure, but God has all that under control. The point is: be ready. We really only have today, believer or unbeliever, to take care of today's business. If we are still here tomorrow, there will be another day's business to attend to, but God has set a day when I will depart this earth into the eternity He lives in. He has also set a day when Jesus Christ will return for His own. It is not our clock. If you are still breathing, scoffer, that means God has given you one more day to hear and believe the gospel message. He's waiting for you. That's why it's taking so long.
