 Se a profecia demorar a se realizar, não é por falha de Deus, mas porque Ele usa de paciência com a humanidade

Jesus says: "I think I have repeated a number of times that one either believes or does not believe, that my time is not measured by your measure, that those who believe without demanding proofs will be blessed. "I now add that prophecy may go through periods of repetition or apparent negation which later turn out, instead, to be only a trial sent by God for men’s faith. "All ancient and modern prophecies (I call those from Adam until my coming ‘ancient’ and those from my coming until the present moment ‘modern,’ for your twenty centuries are a fraction of an hour compared to my Eternity) present points in which they appear to be mistaken, for, in your view, they should have taken place in a given period and did not. But the eye of my servant sees with my Eye. You, on the other hand, see with yours. So that my servant speaks or repeats in my Name, and what you believe has already occurred may be an event still to take place in the future. This holds for all prophecies, including those of the greatest spirits. "Even the perfect Prophecy — mine — may seem to be mistaken and contradicted by the facts to those looking with their human eyes. From the reading of the Gospels, wouldn’t it seem that the end of the world follows shortly after the destruction of Jerusalem? But how many centuries have elapsed since then? And yet the end of the world will be preceded by the signs I speak of, which have already seemed to be close, on so many occasions, to your ignorance and fear. I alone know the moment they will begin, and I do not deem it necessary to say when. Out of goodness, too, towards those living at that time. "You would certainly not want to think that I, the perfect Prophet, because I was the repository of the secrets of the Divinity, was mistaken! As you would not want to think that Peter, Paul, and, above all, John — who remained fused to his Master even beyond the time of my stay among men — were mistaken. And doesn’t Peter say, ‘The end of all things is near’? (1P 4:7) And Paul: ‘...Those of us who remain alive until the Lord’s coming,’ [1 Tess 4-15] and, further, ‘You well know that the one holding him back is the Lord, so that he will not be manifest before his time comes [2 Tess 6-7]. The mystery of iniquity is already at work.’ It would seem, then, that the Antichrist was at work from that time on, and God simply did not let him manifest himself fully so as to be burned to ashes by Me. And he exhorts the Christians at that time to remain firm in faith to withstand the iniquity at work. And, finally, doesn’t my John — the most enlightened one, he to whom the Heavens were made known with panoramas of events to come known only to God and to whom my Heart was opened with all the most secret secrets — end the Book which is so sublime that it seems to have been written with a pen seized from an archangel with the words ‘...The time is close.... Behold, I am coming soon. The One who attests to these things says, "Yes, I am coming soon"’ ? "Now then, I say the same words to you as my saints said: ‘Before the Lord one day [2P, 3:8-16] is like a thousand years, and a thousand years, one day. It is not that the Lord is delaying, but He uses patience.... There are things difficult to understand which the ignorant and unstable distort for their perdition.’ "Oh, blessed are the believers and those content with no need for excessive proofs; blessed are those who rest on the word of the Lord, even if it seems obscure to them, and do not procure for themselves the torments of Thomas, who suffered for more days than the others because he did not believe in my Resurrection, and for additional days, later, through repenting of not having believed except after having observed! "‘Flee from foolish questions, genealogies, disputes, and battles, for they are useless and vain,’ as Paul says [Titus 3:9]. Remember that John, a few lines later, says, ‘...Even now there are already many antichrists; hence we can understand that it is the final hour.... I have not written to you as to those who do not know the truth, but as to those who know it and know that no lie can come from the truth.’ [1 Jn 2:18-21] Finally, I remind you that whoever repeats God’s words or speaks directly does not do so by human will, ‘but inspired by the Holy Spirit,’ as St. Peter says in his Second Letter. [2 P 1:21]
