God allows evil so that evil can be revealed.
When man on earth has fully shown what the ultimate result of sin truly is, God can then extinguish it.
I believe that man will not only show the ability to destroy mankind, but will either be on the verge of doing it, or have already done it to a large extent, before God will step in.
And one of the last acts that will make it necessary, is when the governments of the earth focus their intent on the few God fearing people who are left.
God has shown extreme patience, but He can restore those who were taken from us, and those who are deserving, He will.
It is up to us to make sure we are on the right side when the time comes. And if we pass before then, we need to be right with the Lord.
