Will Satan in the end be given the opportunity to repent of his sins in God's plan of salvation?
Interesting question. I think he's like many people in this world. Even when they face the great judgment, they'll choose to turn away.
Thank You Sheilamyers for your comment. I have decided to write a hub on this matter.
Ron
No. The Bible does not support this idea. It does say, however, that he will be cast into the Lake of Fire to suffer judgment eternally. No other source but the Bible would be authoritative on this subject, I believe. Interesting question.
Thanks Caleb for your comments. I do believe that a hub on this subject may done as the couple of comments given rise new questions.
Ron
Its been written in the scriptures he's condemned to endless torment with is angels. He performed the "unforgivable sin", which is to blaspheme against God and the Holy ghost when you have a sure witness. He was a "Son of the Morning", one of the high council spirits in heaven, and yet he chose to give that up for power. Not only this, but he led 1/3 of the hosts of heaven with him, and all were cast out without physical bodies. I must agree with sheilamyers as well. IF, he was to be given a chance to repent, he probably wouldn't. Instead, he seeks to make man miserable like unto himself
Thanks Wakera for your comments. You bring up a couple of good points that need to be considered.
Ron
I believe that he will, and probably already had, been given the opportunity. However, as the Bible says-also supporting what Caleb says-the Bible states tat he will be punished. So he will be given the opportunity but he will reject it.
Thanks Lois for your comment on my question. I agree he will be punished, but is Satan subject to the salvation given mankind?
Given that I don't believe in either I'll stay out of this one except to suggest that you give a careful listen to "Sympathy for the Devil" by the Rolling Stones.
it seems as though he already made his decision to rebel against God
Apparently not. God means what He says.
Rev 20:10 The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
NKJV

The Bible says that all one has to do is ask for forgiveness. Now being that, do you think that Satan might have already asked God for forgiveness? Now before you rattle off scripture.....I don't believe...but I could be wrong....that the Bible has nothing to say on that.

What is the purpose of including the book Esther in the Bible?I understand the story behind Esther of keeping the Jewish people safe from another genocide, but why is it included in the Bible when there is no reference to prayer or God's will.
