Satan in the Bible is permitted to have influence over the people of earth, at least it seems to imply that. God doesn't want to get it out until it is all finished with so we are stuck in the meantime anyway. I thought God loved the material he created. I can't see why he would abandon or regret it because Satan was allowed to gain control of it.
This reminds me of an analogy of a broken wristwatch. Where a father buys a very expensive watch for his son, but the rest of his sons whom the father is accountable to deliberately break and damage the watch beyond repair. The father tells the son that it's all done and the other sons get away with a slap on the wrist, but he still tells the son "at least I can get you a less fancy, but still good enough watch because I love you."
So Satan now has more complete influence over the populace of earth than ever before, and bad consequences are happening to entire countries and local regions as a result. Tyranny by the majority. There may be a few people that are part of the earth who believe in a God and try to sincerely be faithful Jews, Christians, Muslims but the majority (and the most powerful leaders at the top) are evil and corrupted. There is nothing that will directly stop them, no matter how faithful and loyal any "small" person is to their God.
