God is not slow?

[Jack Ryan]

Waits several thousand years before destroying Satan. But the Bible says god is not slow? Please explain.

Certainly: "However, do not let this escape your notice, beloved ones, that one day is with Jehovah as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day. Jehovah is not slow concerning his promise, as some people consider slowness, but he is patient with you because he does not desire anyone to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance" 2Pet.3:8-9

What @Gone Away has said just now. Also look at this verse:

Psalms 90:4 For a thousand years in your sight are but as yesterday when it is past, or as a watch in the night.

For a thousand years in your sight are but as yesterday when it is past, or as a watch in the night.

Surely you do not want to be caught when that day comes because it will be swift and catch everyone off guard and by that time it will be too late. Even before that, End Time Tribulations will be cranked up to the MAX and that would also tell you that it is too late before the actual day of Judgement is executed on to mankind. 

Therefore, we should be enduring, vigilant, watchful, for we do not know when he will send his Son, we do not know when the Tribulations will begin, we do not know a whole lot of what would even take place before the Tribulations.

So in a simple sense, don't let the Boss catch you in His executive office in His luxurious chair because 100% chance He will deal with you and you will soon see yourself out the door, without a job, a massively broken reputation and no income, possibly an angry wife when you go home. Not the best of my examples, but the point is there: Do not be lollygagging about and let God's Day sudden stumble upon you, for it will come like a thief in the night and it will be FAR worse than Noah's Day, FAR worse than Sodom and Gomorrah and it will make the day when 185,000 Assyrian Soldiers taken out by one angel look like Child's Play.

Stay in your lane or end up going the one way as to which you cannot make a U-Turn on, friend.
