People are dying all around world because of Satan being allowed to roam free and many immortal souls are being put at risk. If a politician handled the crime situation like this there would be calls for their resignation by now.

AUNTY EM: I think we've had the message by now. Time for God to sort things out.

See, that just answers the question for you. If God really exists and he is the almighty powerful then he could put a stop to all of it. What this shows is one of two things. I) God does not exist. 2) God does not care. People are not dying because of Satan. They are dying because of man. Man has created the image that you call Satan and everybody blames him for their wrong doings.
When was the last time that God spoke to somebody through a burning bush or what ever means he has used before. I'm not talking about people seeing images of Mary at Fatima or statues crying tears of blood. God did a lot of talking in the bible but for thousands of years he has been silent. Seems strange to me.

it's like a court case. A good lawyer would have all the evidence before he goes to court. If he falls to have all the evidence he may lose the case and the criminal set free. Same with God, He needs to make sure he has all the evidence before the final judgement on Satan. He needs to prove without a doubt that Satan is the cause of all problems we have now and that Gods rule is the right one. He needs to set a precedent with the case against Satan and in that way if someone like Satan tries to influence mankind again, God would destroy that person right on the spot.

The reason bad things are happening is indeed because of God's enemy, Satan the devil. He challenged God's right to rule over the earth and said that humans do not need God and could rule themselves independently without God's help. God is answering Satans challenge by allowing man to try to live without his interference. Satan also said that humans would discontinue serving God if he( Satan and his demons)) were allowed to cause them pain and suffering. There have been and still are many who are proving Satan to be a liar, who love and serve God faithfully, despite whatever persecution Satan brings upon them.
What has been the result of man ruling man without God intervening? Suffering and injustice, wars, crime and hatred.
God has promised to soon rid the earth of all those things and to destroy Satan and all who follow him. Satan will lose the challenge and be proved a liar. By remaining faithful to the end, we show that we are on God's side and prefer his rule over man's.
Satan's time is running out and he knows it, so he is trying his best to turn as many people away from God as he can in these "last days." We can see that in many ways he is succeeding. Satan and his demons have been given a death sentence which will soon be carried out.
We need a righteous ruler who will be just and merciful. Human rulers can do nothing for us. (Psalm 146:3)
Look what Psalms 37:9-11 promises us--" For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be. But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace."
Soon the meek who inherit this earth will be under one government that will last forever. (See Daniel 2:44) No more will we have to put up with imperfect human rulers who can never bring an end to injustice, crime, terrorism or death itself. God's government will do all that and more.

In terms of years, the time that has elapsed for God/Satan is just seconds. Of course God is disgusted by what he sees but if he were just to intervene, no-one would really get the message i.e. that Satan ruling the world as he does now, is really a Bad Idea. The time is coming soon when God will stop this but a few more things have to come to pass yet. The beginning of the end started in 1918 when Christ was crowed in Heaven and fully recognised by all the universe as the Son of God and the guy who is in charge. I think that many people see Gods lack of action as a flaw but I think if they thought about it further, it would have made God look like a huffy dictator just to run in and destroy Satan - proof was required and that's why we are all living in ****.

contained in the first position, devil creates no longer some thing. He a fallen Angel and not in any respect God. he's the ruler of this international till Jesus returns. without devil, we would haven't any freedom of decision. God does no longer want robots who believes in user-friendly words what He needs them to. you've a call to trust what you want. you in user-friendly words have the time right here on earth to make you're decision. After that, that's too overdue to regulate from an Atheist to a Christian. once you die, you received't merely end present. power won't be able to be destroyed, in user-friendly words replaced. you'll develop into an eternal being in Spirit, except God the author has different plans. in spite of everything, he's God and would do as He pleases. even if we assume of that is honest, correct, incorrect, the crime doesn’t in good structure the punishment, or any component else you may imagine of, His will will be executed!

The first place you are mistaken is assuming that God needs to sort it out .... He's already got a handle on it :)
The second mistake was saying that people are dying BECAUSE of Satan, and that is not true, we all have the choice to do good or bad .... don't blame Satan for what you've done to yourself.
Yes many souls are being put at risk, but it is their own choice that puts them there.

God = what man would like to be
Satan = what man actually is capable of
Man created both, but Religion has taken the form of satan on earth, so God = Satan... Want to save the world, wake up and start to use your eyes, think for yourself, and detirmin your own future.

Right before eternal glory.
1Co 15:25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
1Co 15:26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
Rev 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

If Satan exists, he doesn't need to do anything. Man is the problem here on earth, and blaming someone else instead of looking at our own behaviour is the biggest problem.

Peace!
Your question has been asked since Jesus went to heaven. God works in strange and mysterious ways. It is not for us to know when. Jesus said, no one knows the day or the hour, except his Father. Let's leave it at that.
