Why didnt God destroy Satan from the start? well, when you look at it, he had several reasons. 1) Satan had rumored and rattled so many of the angels that, if God did destroy him, it would have more of the angels questioning God's authority. 2) God wanted to give the angels a chance to really see the motives of Satan for who he really was, so when judgment came, there would be no excuse or pity on his punishment. freedom of choice was the greatest gift that the creator has given man, besides procreation, but it also comes with GREAT responsibility. When you choose to follow God and his will, you will be rewarded for your obedience. But if you choose to follow rebellion, then punishment will be your judgment. There is no good reward in following rebellion.

The angels watched as Satan deceived Adam and Eve, and how he took dominion of this world away from them and continued his battle with the Almighty to this day. They even saw how he came back and forth from the earth looking for his next prey. Look at what horrible things he did to a man named Job, took his family, all ten children, his livestock, made him ill with boils and sores all over him, and made his wife talk crazy to him, and his friends couldn't understand either. And last but not least, look at what he did to the one who tried to save him from his own destruction; beat him, whipped and gorged him, disfigured his face, many people spit on him, made him carry a cross. Not only did he nail him to the cross, he stood it up on the highest point for all to see!
That was the moment that they knew he was a liar and a murderer. They knew that God was righteous and holy in his ways. Blessed are the ones who didn't believe Satan's lies. But sad for those who did follow him and got cast out. He had every opportunity to change but he chose otherwise. Hopefully some humans will be smart enough not to follow and receive his same punishment.
We can never know God's plan for things until we start doing our part. Then little at a time, he gives us pieces to the puzzle as we go...stay diligent and humble yourself. God will show you honor and glory for your obedience to him.
