Let's say for a moment that this is true, God has changed everything and delayed His return so the church can move forward and function as a Body as you state.

The question is: If we now have more time "then", "What is the church now doing with all this extra time on our hands?"

Are they now pushing forward and bringing about this unity, or are they mesmerized by this world's entertainment?

It's hard for me to believe that God would give the church more time when it looks like the same old rhetoric prevails throughout the land. In other words is more time now making the difference?

Marilyn I understand what your saying but I think God is long suffering towards Israel and all things are moving along as He originally planned. Men are in a hurry and always want things to happen quickly, God is not in the realm of time, for Him its only been seconds in moving history along.

Back to my original thought what are we doing with the time He has allotted us on this earth? If we have this so called extra time now, can we set back and think we can always get more time if we need it.

Jesus told his brothers your time is anytime but my time has not yet come.


6 Then Jesus said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready. 7 The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me because I testify of it that its works are evil. 8 You go up to this feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, for My time has not yet fully come.” 9 When He had said these things to them, He remained in Galilee.

I can't imagine the Lord saying if you need more time I can get it for you.

In other words, Our time is always ready.
