Contrary to popular opinion God does not destroy evil people but seeks to redeem them.
This is why evil still exists in our world.
Jesus told us of God writing off debts.
He said; "The Father judges no one." John 5:22 (NRSV)
And, "You judge by human standards; I judge no one." John 8:15 (NRSV)
So those who wage war against the Beast are misguided.
The Beast is not a supernatural being but a network of Satanists spread throughout our world.
And the reason that God does not destroy them is because the God they rejected was the false God of judgement and punishment invented by the Church to keep the masses in their place.
And the reason that He does not destroy those who created this false God is because it is a product of human fear which has been passed down from generation to generation.
Primitive humans could not conceive of a God who was unlike earthly authority figures - fathers and kings - who rewarded good and punished evil.
So they projected their expectation of Natural Justice onto God.
But God is the Father even of the wicked.
And He will not destroy them.
He will write off their debts.
And redeem their souls through Love.
