@Backtojerusalem Question: In Peter it talks about "looking for and hastening the day", its talking about the Lords coming. I talked to someone on my executive staff and said "it seems we can hasten the coming of christ if we finish the task at hand quicker. Matthew 24:14." His reply was "God already knows when the last person that will receive christ is going to and therefore the day is fixed. We cannot speed it up." What then did Peter mean? Can we or can we not speed along His coming?

If I may, I think that just because GOD has foreknowledge about an event, it doesn't mean He ordained it to happen. This is the belief, called fatalism, that many Calvanists believe. I believe we can Hasten the day! And God already knows what that day will be, but it's not necessarily that he ordained it to be on that day. In Genesis 15, we see that GOD will allow Israel to live in Canaan after the "sin of the amorites reaches it's fully measure"....

And GOD foreknew it would be 400 years when it did and was sharing this insight with Abraham.
