God could not allow the Devil and evil to persist in His universe forever. Had He done so, there could have been many future Lucifers who would rebel against Him and cause war forever. God had to directly wage war against the Devil and all evil for the purpose of purging it all from His creations so that He could recreate the earth and Heaven to be wholly righteous. II Peter 3:9-13. The Bible (KJB) consistently describes God's fiery wrath against evil for its destruction, and as being for the purpose of dissolving human systems infected by evil in order to separate their good natures from their evil natures so that God can recreate their good natures and forever purge their evil natures. I Corinthians 3:11-15; Psalm 75:3; Matthew 13:36-43; Luke 3:6-9; Luke 3:16-17. The Old Testament burnt offerings symbolized this type of God's salvation. Genesis 8:20-21.

Matthew 25:41 relates that God casts only the cursed into the everlasting lake of fire. God never cursed Adam and Eve or any of their living descendants whom He creates and loves. Genesis 3:14-21. God made Eve "the mother of all living," without any curse. Luke 20:38. Matthew 25:31-46 happens to be about Christ's final Judgment in the end of the world. Every human has a "sheep" within them that symbolizes their good, living nature, and every human has a "goat" within them that symbolizes their evil nature. Christ will separate the "sheep" from the "goats" which means He will dissolve every human system still on the earth and under the earth in the regions of death in order to separate the living natures of humans for Him to recreate from their evil natures which He will cast into the lake of fire. I Corinthians 3:11-15; John 5:28-29; Psalm 75:3; II Peter 3:9-13; Revelation 5:11-14; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 20:11-15; Revelation 21:1-5; Revelation 22:11-12.

God created an intelligent human race with free will to prove that all humans will eventually choose to return to the faith that He put into them when He created them. God will prove that His Love is Almighty and real. The Devil seeks to utterly destroy the living nature of humans to prove that God's Love is weak which will give the Devil the opportunity to murder God. If God had not come as a human to earth to save humanity, the Devil would have succeeded. When the Devil influenced Job's wife to tell Job, "curse God and die," the Devil meant that Job should turn his good and living nature completely over to evil. Job 2:9. The Devil seeks to do the same to every living human, but Christ took all the spiritual deaths of every human, which are totally evil, upon Himself on a cruel cross to suffer their spiritual deaths in their place so that He could liberate every living human from eternal, spiritual death. God saves some living humans by His grace, and all others in a great worship service as recorded in Revelation 5:11-14. John 5:24; Hebrews 2:9-18; Colossians 1:15-23; John 5:28-29; Isaiah 45:21-24; Matthew 13:36-43. God's enemies are the Devil and all evil, not living humans. John 12:31-32; John 16:11; I John 3:8.
