Satan. Justice delayed is justice denied. Why does God wait?
God is to be our standard of justice and we are to emulate his ways.
He has condemned Satan to hell yet gave him dominion on earth instead of imposing his sentence. IOW. A reward.
No judge in their right mind would do so in our justice system.
Is God less responsible than our judges?
Is God denying justice by not imposing his sentence?
Why is God not imposing his sentence and instead, is rewarding Satan?

Justice carried out hastily is justice that misfires.
We are not just dealing with humans who at present live a rather pathetic 70 years or so, He is dealing with spirit creatures far more intelligent than any human, and with the opportunity to live forever. No doubt time passes more quickly for then as it does for us the older we get. They are thousands if not millions of years old already. When the time comes, and Satanm is finally destroyed, no other spirit creature will be able ot yhik to himself "ah, but what if????" because all of the what ifs will have been seen to have been tried and failed, from all angles and in all conditions, therefore Satan's challenge will have been answered once and for all time. God does not want to risk the same thing happening again.
Of course He could have simply wiped out Adam and Even, Satan and all his followers there and then, but what would that have answered? would that not have meant that God was only ruling through fear? never may that be.
Would there not still have been a chance for another spirit creature to say, well Satan must have had a point or God would not have had to wipe him out there and then. This way that can never be because the faithful angels will have seen Satan being thwarted at ever turn, even when allowed a lot of leeway to do his worst. There will be no other way the challenge could come up again, and therefore no way God's people will ever have to suffer again at the hands of ones such as yourself, with their self promoting arrogance.
The same will be true for humans, though humans being so much less intelligent than angels may still do what people do nowadays and question the evidence, but those that do will simply be wiped off the face of existence because everything has already been proven, and a faithful record of that proof kept in God's word. A Isaiah recorded at
Isaiah 65:20 “No more will there come to be a suckling a few days old from that place, neither an old man that does not fulfill his days; for one will die as a mere boy, although a hundred years of age; and
as for the sinner, although a hundred years of age he will have evil called down upon him".
God is waiting, though I doubt for one minute you will accept this since you always seem to think you know better than Him, for the plan to mature properly. He has the time set, He had it set over 6,000 years ago, in the Garden of Eden when He warned Satan what was coming. That time is near, and getting nearer.
