How do we know God is not delaying His promises?

The notion that God delays His promises is addressed in 2 Peter 3:9, which states that God is patient and does not want anyone to perish. This indicates that the delay in Christ's return is not tardiness but a manifestation of God’s perfect timing. As Matthew 24:36 clarifies, no one knows the day or hour of Christ's return; thus, believing in delay reflects a misunderstanding of His divine purpose. God's timing is crucial to fulfilling His ecclesiastical plan, showing that He governs all creation with sovereignty.
