8 But, beloved, do not ignore this: that for the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years as a day.
9 The Lord does not delay his promise, as some have it for delay, but he is patient with us, not wanting anyone to perish, but that everyone proceeds to repentance.
Reina-Valera 1960 (RVR1960).
Jesus came to preach the gospel of salvation to all men to be saved from eternal damnation, died crucified on the cross of Calvary and on the third day he rose again and promised to return again.
Many years have passed and we are still waiting for the promise because as his word says to the Lord one day is like a thousand years and a thousand years is like a day.
The apostle Paul exhorted his beloved brothers in the faith to be awake and clear their understanding for the coming times and to keep in mind and remember the words spoken by the prophets and the commandment of the Lord given by the apostles for the last days.
This explanation of the apostle of the passage of time responds to the criticism of many about the delay of the coming of the Lord in response to the human reaction.
It is important to emphasize that the explanation that the promise of the return of Christ has not yet been fulfilled is due to God's great mercy for humanity because He does not want anyone to perish, that is to say that no one is lost and still allows him to preach His word in the midst of so much human evil and although really the evil of man will anger God still He is patient.
No one should ignore the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ since the return of the Lord will be sudden and unexpected the times are fulfilled and we should be alert and firm in his word.
Our God is patient and as you say he does not want anyone to be lost if everyone does not come to repentance for that reason he has delayed his promise of his second coming but God is faithful and keeps his promises He will come again but in glory he has sought a glorious aiglesia that serves him in spirit and truth.
