2 Peter 3:3-4,9
knowing this first:that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, 4 and saying, “ Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation.” 9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.

Our timing is not God's, and ignoring what He will do in the end will not change it - only allowing scoffers to taunt God's promises and our witness to them. What these do not see is that God still loves them enough to keep calling till the end of this world so they should also turn from the disobedience of their sin and towards Christ in faith who died in their place to reconcile them to Himself.
