Fallen Angels

Is it possible for the devil to repent?

Hebrews 2:14-16 KJV
Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; [15] And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. [16] For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.

There’s no record of Christ offering to die for the fallen angels. But God is “merciful and gracious suffering and abounding in goodness and truth” (Exodus 34 61-its just His nature and He bore long with them. There was some kind of probation and mercy extended to Lucifer when he first entering into his rebellion

The Scripture says, “He does not give aid to angels, but He does give aid to the seed of Abraham s 2:14). There’s a reason for the difference. Satan and his angels were created perfect. They were derived in the way that humans were deceived. Lucifer entered a high-handed rebellion into deception He was made perfect but chose to be proud and to worship himself, whereas Adam and Eve were made in innocence and they were caught off guard by this rebellious fiend. So the devil was more culpable than humanity was. That’s why the Lord had mercy on humans and became one of us in order to save us

We know from the biblical account that before he sinned, Satan was known as Lucifer and stood in the very presence of God (see Isaiah 14:12). He was closest to the throne of God, and there wasn’t anything more that God could do to reveal His character to him. On the other hand, Adam and Eve were not in the same position. I believe that God gave Lucifer and the angels who believed his lies plenty of opportunity to realise the errors of their way. After all, God is a God of justice, and He’s not willing that any of His creatures should perish.

Dear God, we praise you for your kindness toward us. Thank you for your great mercy in sending Christ to save us!

Ezekiel 28:15-17 KJV
Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. [16] By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. [17] Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.
