And nevermind what's in Revelations about the end is coming. God supposedly destroyed the world and all the evil in it once impromptu. What's stopping him now?

Please realize, that Evil was created for a reason. If there were no evil, then the balance would be off. instead of evil, we'd have chaos. eventually, we may come to a time, when we have all woken up and realized that war is bad, drugs are bad, crimes are bad, and that if we were to just live to make other's lives better, always, then all of our problems would disapear. Imagine, if we didn't use money, but always gave charitably, then noone would ever be needy. Instead of jail for those that have commited crimes, what if the commiter, had instead been raised lovingly and caringly, with good morales and values. Then there would not have been any crime. If we all love and respect one another llike kin, there would be no need for wars. No more judging baised solely on religion, race, or creed. No more ignoring your concsience when it tells you something is right, or wrong, just do it (sorry Nike). Anyways, we are all really just distantly related kin, and as soon as we all realize that, all the sins would go away.
Till later,
Namaste

You keep thinking never mind what Revelations says and you will have a rude awakening. The battle is over, God has prevailed and satan in defeated. The reason evil is still happening is because Jesus wants everyone to come to Salvation. When everyone has heard the Good News of Salvation and everyone has had that chance at Salvation then Revelations will take place. God is in charge and the only thing stopping Him now His love for you and He wants to bring you to Repentance.
Jesus loves you.

What's stopping him now is the pact he made with Noah. God promised not to destroy the world again, that's why we have rainbows.
The Battle for Creation - Impossible to answer accurately since no one knows the true will of God. God's side won the War when Lucifer and his followers got thrown out of Heaven. So, why does man still commit evil acts if he won the War? God gave man free will. He's not going to "make" you do anything. It's your choice. But you will suffer the consequences.

God is the victor, at all times (2 Corinthians 2:14). We do not see as He sees, but the end is already decided. God is being merciful and waiting for more to come to repentance, but the time will come when all evil will stop. Regardless, He is in control and is victorious even now.

God already won when he sent Jesus to die and come back to life for our sins. The reason that the earth hasn't been "destroyed" yet is because God is giving everyone on the earth the chance to accept his Son as their Lord and Savior. But, Revelation will come to pass eventually.

God,is giving mankind free will to choose who they want to serve,and do what they want. We are intelligent people,and no one or thing causes us to do evil things. People do because they choose too. Everyone has the opportunity to read Gods word,pray,and know how to live a life as He says. Yes, He did destroy the wicked once, and yes He will again. In His time. There are many who will change their lives and do His will. He's giving them time to decide. He can read the heart and does. He will eventually say enough is enough and cleanse the earth once again. He already knows and has the exact time He will do it. He is the only one who knows. If He told everyone,how many would wait til the last day or hour then hurry and change. He wants us to choose to doing His will on our own because we desire to.

Because there is a constant battle between good and evil every day in every part of the world. That don't mean that you have to lean toward evil or good. But it will probably be a lot better for you and the people who know you to lean towards good and just be cool!!!!!!!!!

Because it's not the battle between "God" and evil, it's between "good" and evil. God could beat Satan, but without Satan, what would be the reason for free will? There has to be a choice to make.

In the words of C.S. Lewis, "When the author of the play steps out onto the stage, that's the end of the play"
God is not slow concerning His promises the way some count slowness, but He is longsuffering and merciful, wanting to bring yet more people to heaven.

Well,it`s kinda like the tortoise( God) and the hare(devil),at times it looks like the(hare) devils won the race,but the tortoise(God)has a slow and steady plan,he is the wiser and he knows what the whole picture looks like.He knows what he is doing.Also I don`t mean in anyway to sound like I`m insulting the lord,I`m just trying to show you what I mean. Sorry if I have offended anyone,this is the only way I could think of to explain.
