“Most importantly, I want to remind you that in the last days scoffers will come, mocking the truth and following their own desires. They will say, “What happened to the promise that Jesus is coming again? From before the times of our ancestors, everything has remained the same since the world was first created.””
2 Peter 3:3-4 NLT
“But you must not forget this one thing, dear friends: A day is like a thousand years to the Lord, and a thousand years is like a day. The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent. But the day of the Lord will come as unexpectedly as a thief. Then the heavens will pass away with a terrible noise, and the very elements themselves will disappear in fire, and the earth and everything on it will be found to deserve judgment.”
2 Peter 3:8-10 NLT
God is still building his kingdom on earth. He’s only been there two days in his reckoning so give him a chance

You are misinterpreting the passage as many have done. The passage is a reference to Daniel 7 where Christ would take up his position of authority in the New Kingdom after his resurrection and ascension. He refers to this to the High Priest in Mark 14:62. He is not referring to his Second Coming - the word Parousia is not mentioned - but rather the time when he would ‘enter his glory’ and would be seated at God’s right hand. Unfortunately you have been on the end of a wrong interpretation of Mk 13:30. Hope this helps. @walabby

Having an open mind for possibilities that might be there is great. Now do the leggwork and proof that those possibilities are not just possible but objectively verifable.
Just accepting those possibilities as if they are true without doing the leggwork agrees with the first part of your message:
