Is there a particular number of people who are going to replace satan and his angels? Is God waiting till this number is attained?

I would say no. God is not waiting for a certain time or a certain number of people.

I only knew of two things God is waiting for. One is that the gospel is preached to all the world, and the other, that His people are ready for Him to come.
To think He is waiting for us to shape up is not too great a feeling. But we need to face the fact that He is waiting on us.
Any thoughts on this?

I am not sure that I like the concept that God is waiting at all. God has His time and we are admonished to be vigilant for we know not the time when he will come. It is stated somewhere that we will be surprised when He comes.
Can anyone show from the Bible that God is waiting on us to do anything?

He is waiting for us to open the door. He will not force himself on us. AND where do we find that in Scripture? Is this just a concept we pull from the air or is there some support for this idea in the Bible? Quotation please!

Is this just a concept we pull from the air or is there some support for this idea in the Bible? Quotation please! Revelation 3:20 Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.

I don't see from reading the context of this verse that it is talking about the Second Coming. Rather, this is a promise to you and me about our personal spiritual lives.
