No. God has set the timetable. The time for return was already set before any of us existed, and only God the Father knows it. Because He knows the future before it happens, as God is not constrained in time as we are, the whole premise of ‘waiting’ isn’t quite the same thing.
You said — “No. God has set the timetable. The time for return was already set before any of us existed, and only God the Father knows it. Because He knows the future before it happens, as God is not constrained in time as we are, the whole premise of ‘waiting’ isn’t quite the same thing.”
Yep! It’s already “pinned down” to the exact second, as to when it will happen — no matter what we will do — *because* God already knows exactly what each one of us is going to do, before we even know it ourselves...
It’s already determined. It’s just that we don’t know it — but God does.
