Can a fallen angel repent and be saved?
There is enough information to answer this question from the Bible without having to speculate. Rev. 12:7 “And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon fought and his angels,8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. 9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. 10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.†Luke 10:18 “and he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.†We have the support that Satan and his angel’s reward is already mentioned: Matt. 25:41 “Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:†The fact that Satan was cast out from heaven and came to this earth trying to sell an alternative policy to the universe, including the fact that we have to choose between a good-God and an evil-Satan confirms that Satan and his angels used any probation available to them in heaven. Michael - Jesus in opposition to Satan, had to cast him out of the heavenly courts. In Job 1 and 2 we see that Satan represents Earth since Adam gave him the rights, by buying into his deception. The universe only knew the extent of this rebellion when the creature Satan worked in the lives of the Jews to crucify their Creator. There is no second chance theology for him who served in the holiest place in the Universe yet still bought into rebellion; having taken a third of the angels with him. Those who were saved from this planet of rebellion will one day confirm the reward/punishment to be served upon these rebels. 1 Cor. 6:2 “Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? 3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?â€
