What would he prove if he destroyed Satan? He wants people to love and worship him of their own free will. He keeps letting the world go on because he doesn't wish to loose any of us to Satan. God is very patient.

This is another issue of free will being misunderstood, God does love us, but if you read the Bible, he does not ever plan to destroy Satan or the earth, after judgment day the faithful are promised 1000 years of peace in perfect immortal bodies upon this earth before Satan can raise his head again. He too is one of God's children. Satan, owns this earth, not God, until that day, and like all of us, Satan also has free will. If God destroys him he is taking away that free will given to us all.

There is a final test waiting for all, Satan will be released for a little while after being abyssed for a thousand years to test mankind before they are given everlasting life, those who fall back to Satan will then be destroyed with Satan, and the Bible says many will. And boy! is Satan going to be mad when he's let out of the abyss.

Because there are still billions of people who choose satan over Jesus. Christ will come in the end and put an end to all the followers of satan (or all the sinners).
God is still giving people the chance to choose before he comes and wipes people out.

You know what the biggest sin is? The one that you are making right now. No. I am not talking about blasphemy of God.
I am talking about the one single simple act of selfishness that we just love to carry with us everywhere. It's all about what God can do for you, right?
It's all about if this if that if I cannot have my way, that it is not the truth. I will not judge you, for you are already doing that all perfectly well on your own.
If you only had a clue about what Jesus is all about, maybe you would understand what your purpose is.
"Love your life, and you will lose it forever. " I don't judge you. I simply take a mirror and hold it for you. I do wish you the best in all things that you do with love, even if it is for your own benefit.
"""""""Any thing that is good which is done from a good heart can only be from God himself""""""
Not every good thing that you see comes from God. Why? Just think about yourself. Most of the time when you are nice to others it is because you want something from them. No? You can lie to me and yourself, but God knows what we are thinking before we think it. Many people who do good have a hidden agenda. God knows what that is. Sometimes the person themselves don't even realize what horrible things they do, simply because their own personal desires are more important that everybody else's----even God's laws. Your own personal self-righteousnesss, self-love, conditional love is your blind fold.

Of course God loves us all...look at the many things He has created for our luxury n comfort..beautiful trees..flowers..natures..companionship...etc
God destroys Satan last because satan has to be round to test God's worshippers n see how loyal they are to Him... if life is easy n proper, it'll be pretty boring n there'll be no difference btwn the God-bidding worshipers n the bad ones.
satan temps us to do evil..n our belief n trust in God keeps us together n away frm being influenced by satans evil

Satan's assigened task is not over with until then. And since GOD created Satan along with everthing else . Satan will be returned into the body of the CREATOR as will everthing else that was created from the body of the CREATOR.

Haha. In other words, what is the meaning of life? The answer, of course, is #%!@$. I guess it would all depend on your point of view. If we truly are part of God's microcosm, also known as the universe, we serve some seemingly insignificant but necessary prupose in his machinery. Living a moral like is impossible. We learn through our crimes and misdemeanors. I suppose without sin, we aren't complete. Should Satan experience spontaneous combustion before we do, we'd be missing out on the most important pieces of our morality.

He is waiting on the gospel to reach all the corners of the world. He is waiting to get as many people as possible to accept salvation. He is just giving us all a fair chance.

It's only fair to treat all people from every age, equally.
We all get a shot at life. We all get tempted. We all get to choose our eternal destiny.
Besides, God isn't in the habit of destroying his creatures.
