What is God waiting on?

A question for Calvinists:

Why does the Bible talk about God's patience and longsuffering in regard to salvation? Within the Calvinistic system, what is God waiting on? If he is the one who effectually calls isn't He just waiting on Himself to do the work?

How do you reconcile that with His being patient and longsuffering with us? If salvation is truly "all of God" what exactly is he waiting on?

When all the questions are counted, this one will be among the best.

SA-lute!! :thumbs:

Why is God waiting?

Because He is not like us. If I were God, I'd have pulled the plug
when Cain killed Abel. But God is much more patient and loving
than I am.
