2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is long-suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

The Lord is not slack con-
cerning his promise, as some
men count slackness; but is
longsuffering to us-ward, not
willing that any should perish,
but that all should come to re-
pentance.
But the day of the Lord
will come as a thief in the night;
in the which the heavens shall
pass away with a great noise,
and the elements shall melt with
fervent heart, the earth also and
the works that are therein shall
be burned up. 2 PETER 3:9-10

Armaggedon is going to happen. Open your eyes.

Contrary to what some people may think, Jehovah is a God of Love...and being so, he does not desire anyone to die, but all to attain to everlasting life. John 3:16, Romans 6:23
Jehovah is holding back amaggedon in order to bring in those ones who are sincerely thirsty for the truth and righteousness.

It is out of love for those few remaining that are scattered out there. We cannot begin to understand why it didn't happen already but we know at just the right time, it will. There will be much tribulation. The governments will turn on all religions including Jehovah's Witnesses. For the ones that are making fun of it they will see the wrath of God.

One reason could me, each & every day in round figures, 800 people become Jehovah Witnesses, as long as He prolongs Armageddon more honest hearted people set themselves up to gain everlasting life by entering the New System alive or by the resurrection.
WOW, (Kimlslan) sure has hate for JW's for some reason.

God has a plan, and has had one throughout all the ages. His plan is unfolding exactly as prophesied in the Bible, have you read it with understanding?
Armaggedon will come, but according to God's timeline......not ours.There are many things prophesied in the Bible that still have to come to pass before that great and terrible day (Great for those who love and revere God, and terrible for those who don't)
So relax,and let our Heavenly Father do what it is the He will to do. He is in control, so why worry?
A word to the wise is sufficient.

The Bible has the answer. "Jehovah is not slow respecting his promise,as some people consider slowness,but he is patient with you,because he does not desire any to be destroyed.Yet Jehovah's day will come as a thief,in which the heavens (the governments of the world ) will pass away with a hissing noise but the elements (bad things that people do) being intensely hot will be dissoved and earth- and- the- works in it will be discovered.( people will find out that this system of things belonged to Satan.) 2 Peter 3:9,10

(2 Peter 3:9, 10) . . .Jehovah is not slow respecting his promise, as some people consider slowness, but he is patient with YOU because he does not desire any to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance. 10 Yet Jehovah’s day will come as a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a hissing noise, but the elements being intensely hot will be dissolved, and earth and the works in it will be discovered.

Our Master Jesus Christ, here in Spirit, tells all of us personally to: "Fear not ! Be of good cheer" I AM with you always.
The word "Armageddon" is mentioned only one time in the Bible at Rev 16:16. The terrible things in all of Rev 16 are from the sick minds of some very unspiritual men of old ! None of that is of the true God Who loves all humans ! Jesus never taught any of those negative predictions found in Rev 16.
There was actually a long, terrible battle to the death of two now mostly extinct races of humans at Armageddon in N. Africa about 300,000 years ago. Some humans today in N. Africa and the Middle East have slightly olive-green colored skin; they have some of the genes from one of the two races who fought nearly to extinction there so long ago.
So there is no "Armageddon" event for God to hold back; it is all past history.
If all humans today obeyed our Creator Father and Son of God Jesus Christ, they would actually love all humans and also all of their alleged enemies ! Jesus commands us to dare to "Love your enemies !" Soon, a majority of civilized, God-seeking and God-loving humans will outlaw all wars, and enforce this with a worldwide peace army. God requires all humans to continually progress individually and collectively on this planet and in the whole universe.

He is not.
Armageddon will happen after the Little Flock is complete, and before Babylon falls.
God is not waiting for anything, everything happens exactly when it is supposed to.
