Well His kingdom here on earth is taking a long time, 2000 years so far and counting....how long is it going to take.
Perhaps you have received a sign that it is imminent

Yes His will that all men shall be saved, but not so they could go to Heaven. But so they would be one with Him in Christ.
Remember, Jesus left not so men could go to Heaven, but so that the Spirit of God could come here!
But you know what His will is also?
In love 5he predestined us[SUP]b[/SUP] for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, 6to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved. 7In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, 8which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight 9making known[SUP]c[/SUP] to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ 10as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth.
Another Scripture about the will of God:
27And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because[SUP]g[/SUP] the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. 28And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good,[SUP]h[/SUP] for those who are called according to his purpose. 29For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified.
And another one about the will of God:
Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
And another one about the will of God (not being like the world)
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
Notice all of these do not talk about salvation, they actually talk more about relationship and being conformed into Christ. THIS is the Will of God.
Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Yes God desires all to be saved, but also He desires to be known. And the will of God has a lot to do with our conduct towards Him as well. And that we might be His child. So yes, conversion is good, but Kingdom is where His Will is manifested, His purposes, and it's not just for heaven to come. It's also for this world now.
