Time is set by God. What we see as delay in coming of Jesus is really salvation for others

Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet

In the early 1900's, a meteor fell in Siberia.  My mother was born in 1905 and I heard her tell of how people thought it was the end of this world. 

More than 100 years have passed and the world is still here.

Peter explains that the timing is not slackness but salvation ...

II Peter 3 ... 8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us- ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.


It hasn't come yet.  When you think about it, some might be born again tonight... some tomorrow.

But the day of the Lord will come sometime ... no man knows when ... only God knows this.

Until then, salvation ... after that the judgment ... 

While we may long to leave this earth, we rejoice in the salvation of others as the time continues.

But in time of God, the end comes.

This heaven and this earth will pass away ... all works of men will be destroyed ... eternal judgment will then come ... and those who belong with God will receive reward ... and Paul mentioned "a full reward".  We don't know what that means but it surely is very important.

I'm sure "a full reward" has to do with doing the will of God daily with all your heart and continuing in doing the will of God daily as long as we dwell on this present earth.

and after that ... the judgment.

II Cor. 5 ...  9 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. 10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. 11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men;
