Or what king, going out to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and deliberate whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? And if not, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends a delegation and asks for terms of peace.
(Luke 14:31-32 ESV)
This king, and I, and you, must make a decision. Judgment is coming. Procrasination is not advised. Jesus says one should decide now, when the invasion is "yet a great way off." Why? The invading army may pick up speed as they rally their troops. And, the further the King and His army must approach, the more time and energy and resources He has expended, the more He will want to recoup those expenses. In other words, the closer He gets, the lest likely terms of peace can be made. Don't wait.
