If God is all powerful, why doesn't he just eliminate the adversary and be done with it?

The 1000 year reign begins the day after the return (7th trumpet and 7 vials pured out) which has been revealed by God's Witnesses to be by the end of May 2012.

I don't argue that Jesus will reign physically on earth during the thousand years.
I agree with St. Augustine in suggesting the opposite, that the "reign of Jesus for a thousand years" is the current state of the world.
That conclusion is stated in the last three lines of the OP.
The OP was long because the conclusion needs to be justified and explained.

Jesus reigns now, eternally. I am not familiar with Augustine's take. The periods God has planned change for us. The world is near the end of the 6th period. The millennial reign of Christ in the coming 7thperiod or 7th Day is SPIRITUAL with many signs and charisms given.
