God is long-suffering, but he does not clear the guilty; instead his long-suffering is a call to repent and restore what was destroyed by sin. If no repentance appears, eventually the long-suffering will end. the question then becomes, how lung is "long?" First of all, don't find out he hard way, by waiting till it ends. But the barometer which you can use to measure his remaining long-suffering is by measuring the means of Grace available. In the end God will not come to us directly and tell us to repent, he will do so through intermediates, such as the prophets of the Old Testament. If there are no such means of grace, it means He has stopped giving us a change to repent, and is getting ready for Judgment.
