For that matter why not forgive man's future sins outright and be done with the whole thing?

Wt jehovah doesn't forgive, ever. He killed jesus, so he didn't have to kill the entire human race. Maybe, if satan affered to be the ransom killing for the demons, maybe, the demons could be saved? Too bad, jesus didn't offer himself for satan, too, eh? Maybe, jesus was in a hurry, when he left his heavenly glories.

While it's true that the Bible allows for reinstatement of modern-day members of the Christian congregation, it does not make such allowance for Satan the Devil. Yes, we humans can kill, rape and steal--and be forgiven. But in the case of Satan, Jehovah cannot extend forgiveness because, hey, the m*****f**ker really pissed Him off... I mean DO YOU REALIZE how big of a deal that was? You give a guy everything he wants or needs, you give him all sorts of special privileges...and he takes a steaming crap all over your Universal Sovreignty!!!
Imagine this scene...
SATAN: Umm... Jehovah?
JEHOVAH: What do YOU want?
SATAN: Well...er...I just wanted to talk to you about a few things...
JEHOVAH: Oh REALLY?! After all this time? After completely f**king up Project Earth for me? After pissing all over my great and fear-inspiring name, you wanna "talk" huh? Well go ahead, you little prick, unload!
SATAN: I know I deserve that, but I'm here to say...I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that. I was wrong, wrong wrong, and I feel like crap.
JEHOVAH: Sorry doesn't cut it, Lucifer.
SATAN: What? But what about all that stuff about being "ready to forgive," and all that? Y'know, that jazz about, "though your sins be red as scarlet, I will make them white as snow?"
JEHOVAH: Don't throw that s**t up to me, asshole, I'm the One who came up with all of it. And, you can just forget about it. What you did pisses me off SO BAD, I will NEVER calm down about it. Y'hear me? NEVER!!! You're jacked, pal.
------------------------------------------------------
For us humans? Well forgiveness is necessary. We're to forgive "up to seventy-seven times" and even more than that. Forgive, forgive, forgive... Forgiving is actually very healthy for us. But, well, Jehovah's ways are far greater than ours; his thoughts much loftier. And if he feels like withholding forgiveness to a sneaky, little bastard who thinks he can f**k with Him, well, he's got another think coming--and we should just look the other way.
But you? Oh, you should keep forgiving.

Because that Almighty Lowlife Scumbag needs someone to blame for the s*** He causes people to go through, so He can continue doing s*** to people.

The answer is obvious:
If a thousand years = 1 day .... and you have to typically wait 6 months (183 days) to be reinstated, Satan would have to wait a total of 183,000 years.
So Satan's sin about 6,000 years ago means he still has about 177,000 years to wait.
Satan's got a LONG wait.

Because when black merges with white black and white get diluted and we get all these cool shades of grey. And for the great "I AM" to "stay black" he's gotta "stay white".

Maybe he's just afraid to. Maybe he's afraid to acknowledge the son that he made of his own power. Maybe he's afraid to take any real responsibility for everything he made. Maybe he's afraid of his own power and never really realized that it would make something so powerful. Maybe he just doesn't know yet how to deal with his own power and that which comes of it. Maybe he's still learning.

Because Jehovah and Satan are one and the same. They just don't know it yet.

Maybe he can and has and is patiently waiting for us to realize it when we're ready.
