Hebrews 10:35 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. 36 For ye have need of patience, that, after yo have done the will of God, you might receive the promise.
Question: How long is too long? To strictly rational thinking minds, three to four weeks at the most, are more than sufficient, for the people to at least have some guidance as to time frame.
