If you read the Bible you'd know he gave Satan the power to control this earth for 1,000 years (In God's time, not ours). He is a loyal being, why would he go back on his word. Of course it's painful, he's probably fed up with the evilness to the max but once he does something he can't go back on his word. In the end rather it's real or not we will all see. So I say let's just wait and see .
