There are so many things you don't understand. Satan already has most of the world in his grasp. If God wished He could destroy the world with just a tiny thought and start over. Thank God he loves us...

No satan's days are numbered and he knows it. He is going to be spending eternity in the lake of fire. God is not able to lie, He has already told us what will happen in the future in regard to satan. He can't change the rules midstream, it is against His nature.

In ancient Jewish tradition Satan is simply an angel doing the work that God assigned to Satan to do.
The word Satan means challenger. With the idea of Satan challenging us, or tempting if you will. This description sees Satan as the angel who is the embodiment of man's challenges. This idea of Satan works closely with God as an integral part of Gods plan for us. His job is to make choosing good over evil enough of a challenge so that it becomes clear to us that there can be only one meaningful or logical choice.
Contrast this to Christianity, which sees Satan as God's opponent. In Jewish thought, the idea that there exists anything capable of setting itself up as God's opponent would be considered polytheistic or setting up the devil to be an equally powerful polarity to god or a demigod.
Oddly, proof for The Christian satan/devil mythology is supposedly found in the ancient Jewish texts that were borrowed to create the bible. One can’t help but wonder how Christians came up with such a fantastically different interpretation of Gods assistant Satan in their theology.
Other hints about Satan’s role in human relations can be seen if you look at the name Lucifer. It’s meaning in the original tongue translates as Light bearer or light bringer. Essentially the bringer of enlightenment. The temptations of the Satan idea bring all of us eventually into Gods light. Hardly the Evil entity of Christian mythology.

You mean like GWB and the Christian right? Oops, I forgot you mentioned God too. No, not possible.
Apart from the above mentioned, Satan was defeated and banished 2000 years ago.
