Wouldn't Satan rather use free will try to make amends or at least try to find something else to do (something more pleasant)?
After all, wasn't Satan an angel once?

Satan was created to what he does. The curtain is drawn and the chief actor is full dressed. Satan,has no free-will. Satan is a condemn criminal. Lucifer,Michael the archangel and the angel Gabriel had thrones in Heaven,and led the angelic host in praising and worshiping God. However,it was Lucifer who had pride,and was the first angel to challenge God,and wanted his throne above God's in the North. Lucifer led 1/3 of the angelic host in a revolt against God,but failed of course.
Satan,knows his time is running out,and is trying to take as many souls as he can with him to the lake of fire along with his demons.

Because it has been explained that Satan really believes he is going to be able to defeat God in a battle. He will not just give up or make amends he will continue to kill steal and destroy. He believes he can turn many of Gods creations against God Which he has!

SATAN IS IN A TIME FRAME FROM EDEN TO Rev.20:1-6;
Eze.28:15-17; The cherub angel that was created perfect was anointed over Eden, then he sinned and rebeled against God, as other angels did Jude 6;
1Pet.3:18-20; 2Pet.2:4; 1Cor.6:3,3; These await judgement day.
Matt.24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
GOD IS OVER THIS TIME FRAME AND NO ONE KNOW BUT HIM ALONE
Bible gives 6130 years from Eden to Rev.20:1-6,12,13; Jesus 1000 years.
So no one can know the day and hour but all else 1Thes.5:1-9,21;

yes he was an angle and that is a great question.
Maybe there is not Satan and we are ego centric to think a spirit would give a crap about use so much he would sit around every second trying to get us to sin. he would do this also knowing his few days left are going to be in hell.
I hate fire ants but I don't spend my waking hours trying to think of ways to kill them or torture them. I have better things to do with my time. If I new when i was gunna die or go to hell I think I would spend it better than kicking ant hills.
And if I lost a battle and know the outcome then I must know who is going with me already and therfore I can tell the future. Hmmm makes me wonder why I would have started the battle if I new the future and new I was gunna go to hell.
Or maybe there is no Satan...which sounds more realistic?

According to the Tanakh(Old Testament) angels do not have free will so to say Satan rebelled against G-d is blasphemy since it implies that G-d is a liar.
Satan is a servant of G-d who will be the prosecutor on judgment day

Yes, Lucifer was an angel once, the most high angel. But since he fell, he is no longer part of G_D and His grace. Lucifer doesn't believe the bible for he believes he rules earth. Its why to mock and to copy G_D, Lucifer had his own bible produced, the Satanic bible.
Lucifer is like an atheist... laughs at idea that the bible could be true. Where do you think atheists get that laugh, snicker and non stop desire to throw fruit at religious folks comes from? Satan himself.

Revelation (no s)...
Read Left Behind: Armagedon. Pretty good picture of why Satan will continue to do what is foretold. He's just so consumed with hate and jealousy of God that he's more interested in his (doomed) attempt to usurp eternal power from God.

God and Satan are buddies, reread the book of Job. Satan does nothing that God does not give him permission to do.

The.... " SAME REASON....." That YOU.... DON'T OBEY.... GOD.... as He has said... in Acts 17:30-31 !
(Acts 17:30-31) Truly, then, God overlooking the times of ignorance, now He strictly commands all men everywhere to repent,
(Acts 17:31) because He has appointed a day in which He is going to judge the world in righteousness by a Man whom He appointed, having given proof to all by raising Him [ JESUS] from the dead.
Thanks, RR

the show must go on. This is what the people want to see. Sort of like the Super Bowl for religion.
