What are Satan's motivations exactly? Does he win if he gets enough souls? Why would he torture souls that were not loyal to Yahweh/Allah? Even if Satan’s motivation for torturing humans is revenge against Yahweh/Allah, what possible satisfaction could be achieved by torturing people that god had already turned his back on for all eternity?
1. He hates God. 2. NO. 3. See #1. 4. If you have read the Bible you will see that satan is tossed into the lake of fire along with the unbelieving humans, so he does not toture anyone nor do his minions. Their work is to deceive as many people as they can before time runs out in that way they hurt God by making Him destroy and reject the very souls He created and loves.
He's won. Sorry to break it to you. He's not trying to become god, that's a red herring, he's actually undoing his creation. He's trying to destroy everyone around him including himself. The self-destruction of Satan alone is proof he's beaten God, the creator.
Why? Because God wasn't able to stop this, heal/redeem him, place countermeasures or quickly identify that a perfect being may corrupt him/her/itself with inequity.
Satan's managed to take down BILLIONS of human souls and a THIRD of Heaven that God cherishes and loves with him.
How is that anything but a victory for a destroyer? Let's face it, if you were God who is forced to salvage what's left uncorrupted you'd be scarred forever after the events of the fallen first creation. A triumph equalled only by its monumental failure. You're a perfect god that managed to do things imperfectly. You've lost those precious souls forever and can never repair the damage.
You must accept the Second Heaven is a joke compared to what IT COULD HAVE BEEN.
