Armageddon , Resurection , Judgement Day.
I found a question on here asking about "Satan" how and why he is a fallen angel.
Lots of interesting and some quite different veiws......
Anyway , my question is ,
Armageddon comes , right , the end of all.
People say that "GOD" let Satan try to prove himself as a leader , and has proven to be a failer , so he (GOD) will create Armageddon and restore things back to how he wanted it.
Why not just get rid of Satan?
Why put Humans through the torment of some disaterous event just for the perpose to bring us back alive.
Whats up with that?
I am not religious at all but am open to listen to other peoples views on this.....I honestly don't get it , why not remove the source of badness instead of destroying everything?

in the beginning all was good, until mankind made their own decision, with the help of satan, thus sin was born. God decided to give man free will, just like it is your own decision not to believe, so it was satans decision to defy God. If you don't accept God as the father who send his son to die for our sins, and the holy spirit to guide you, then you make yet another decision for your self. and as you know everyone is always categorised! If you are not part of the one group, then you are part of the other. So either you are with God or you are with satan. As for armageddon, alot of people have different views. Peoples views are not important in this, and it is not what you should worry about, but rather if you are saved or not. When God comes again(armageddon) He will take all who accepted Him as their personal savior, and they will go with Him to a glorios place. how the earth or mankind ends isn't the issue, but rather where mankind ends up!! Take time and look around you..........What do you see? Do you honestly think that everything that you can think of was just there one day....all of a sudden......? Someone or something had to be the creator of everything? Now you may ask me where that someone or something comes from, or as christians name Him.....GOD......That i can not answer, for that is a question that i have myself! But one day we will know all, and in the meantime my friend all we can hold on to is FAITH!!!!
Good luck to you, and may you find the WAY. If you need help with that my email adress is mad_maggit@yahoo.com

this whole physical world is a testing ground of souls ... Satan fulfills his purpose to give us a choice between that which is right and that which is wrong ... the defeat of Satan and those that follow him will be complete ... and show definitely throughout all ages everlasting that God is God ... and those that followed satan were damned ... those that chose righteousness are promoted.

for one thing its not about you or I,its about God,and we humans have let Satan take us so far down the road of rebellion that we cant even see the light of truth in our faces, God want us to make up our own mind to come with him he's not forcing you to do anything,and we see who you've picked,the one with no rules,on conscience,no heart,no love,God offers all that and people still would rather go to hell than live with rules and structure,that's so pitiful,I hope you and the devil will talk about this ,in hell because you are going to have a long time to do it.

Very good question. Why create humanity when we're all destined for destruction? I find it also hard to understand. Instead, We should accept what God has planned for Satan and what he has planned for you, me and everyone else.

In that Satan caused our first parents to deflect, the question was raised as to who was to blame. Had God created them so that they could not withstand temptation and yet provided for a death penalty for their failure to do so? Had he at once put to death the three of them this point would have remained forever moot. Besides, Satan boasted that he could turn all human creatures away from God, thereby challenging both Jehovah’s supremacy and his ability as Creator.
Adam and Eve’s defection raised serious questions: Was God’s rule oppressive? Or was his rule righteous? Who had the right to rule? Was God withholding freedom from his subjects? Given the opportunity, would all of God’s servants abandon him?
Yet another serious issue was raised by Satan: Had Jehovah been dishonest in giving a law that stated that disobedience would lead to their death? (Gen. 2:16, 17; 3:3-5)These issues could not be settled by merely executing the rebels.
Not that God needed to prove anything to himself. But so that these issues would never again disrupt the peace and well-being of the universe, Jehovah has allowed ample time for them to be settled beyond all doubt. That Adam and Eve died following disobedience to God became evident in due time. (Gen. 5:5) But more was at issue. So, God has permitted both Satan and humans to try every form of government of their own making. None have brought lasting happiness. God has let mankind go to the limit in pursuing ways of life that ignore His righteous standards. The fruitage speaks for itself. As the Bible truthfully says: “It does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step.” (Jer. 10:23) At the same time God has given his servants opportunity to prove their loyalty to him by their acts of loving obedience, and this in the face of enticements and persecution instigated by Satan. Jehovah exhorts his servants, saying: “Be wise, my son, and make my heart rejoice, that I may make a reply to him that is taunting me.” (Prov. 27:11) Those proving faithful reap great benefits now and have the prospect of eternal life in perfection. They will use such life in doing the will of Jehovah, whose personality and ways they truly love.
God will not bring back to life who He has killed. Those who die in Armageddon will be eternally destroyed, never recovered. (Luke 12:5).
God will remove the source of badness in His great day. This will not only include Satan, but his folowers and demons as well. (Luke 17:29, 30). The Earth will never be destroyed, neither will those who serve God.(Ps 104:5) All those who have died and served God will be brought back to life on Earth, as well as those who did not know Him, to have the chance to make their own decision concerning the matter and either live forever in a perfect world, or be judged for their hardheartedness and any wicked deeds done in the new world. (John 5:28, 29).

Revelation is not a crystal ball into the future. It is a symbolic history of the church. The rest of your question is based on man's interputation-which probably isn't right anyway.

You're never going to get it, because it makes no sense. Revelation is mostly a story about events of the first century.
