If I could talk to God I would ask him why he didn't throw Lucifer into the lake of fire straight away when he was deceiving one third of the angels.
It is written that Satan will be thrown into a giant lake of fire to be destroyed. Why didn't God destroy Satan before he met people on Earth?
I have no idea why it went that way. Is there a scripture that explains this? I don't know. I know very little and hunger for insight.
