All Demons and Satan Saved

By Mark Farquharson

Do Demons and Satan exist?

Many people don’t believe that Demons or that Satan exist, even some Christians don’t believe in them. However scripture is clear, they do exist.

Lets look at scripture to see if there is evidence that they exist.

Job 1:6 There was a day when the sons of Elohim would come to station themselves before Yahweh, and Satan came also in their midst. {CLV}

Matthew 4:10 Then Jesus is saying to him, "Go away, Satan, for it is written, The Lord your God shall you be worshiping, And to Him only shall you be offering divine service."

11 Then the Adversary is leaving Him. And lo! messengers approached and waited on Him. {CLV}

These two passages establish the existence of Satan. Adversary in other translations is translated Devil.

Colossians 1:15 Who is the Image of the invisible God, Firstborn of every creature,

16 for in Him is all created, that in the heavens and that on the earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones, or lordships, or sovereignties, or authorities, all is created through Him and for Him,

17 and He is before all, and all has its cohesion in Him. {CLV}

There is the visible and the invisible in Heaven and on Earth. There are thrones, lordships, sovereignties, and authorities.

Ephesians 6:11 Put on the panoply of God, to enable you to stand up to the stratagems of the Adversary,

12 for it is not ours to wrestle with blood and flesh, but with the sovereignties, with the authorities, with the world-mights of this darkness, with the spiritual forces of wickedness among the celestials. {CLV}

There are sovereignties, authorities, world-mights of this darkness, spiritual forces of wickedness among the celestials, these are what we wrestle against. The scripture is clear spiritual forces of wickedness, demons, fallen angels and Satan do exist, but what is to be come of them?

Will Satan and his angels be saved?

Colossians 1:15 Who is the Image of the invisible God, Firstborn of every creature,

17 and He is before all, and all has its cohesion in Him.

18 And He is the Head of the body, the ecclesia, Who is Sovereign, Firstborn from among the dead, that in all He may be becoming first,

19 for in Him the entire complement delights to dwell,

20 and through Him to reconcile all to Him (making peace through the blood of His cross), through Him, whether those on the earth or those in the heavens. {CLV}

Everything, all creation is going to be reconciled to Christ, through the blood of the cross, including all that are in the heavens and that on the earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones, or lordships, or sovereignties, or authorities.

Those of us who believe in the Salvation of All mankind should believe that God will save these spiritual forces of wickedness, demons, fallen angels and Satan. Some may recoil in horror at the thought that these wicked forces will be saved, however scripture tells us they will be reconciled. No about of unbelief on your part or any one else part will stop all be reconcile to Christ.

You may not like it, you may protest at the thought of it, you may not believe it, you may not want to believe it. But that does not make it any less true, there is nothing you can do to change it. God has declared it will happen, which means that it will definitely happen. The reconciliation of All that is in the heavens and on the earth will be finished whether you like it or not.

You should desire to have all creatures reconciled to Christ, including the wicked unclean spirits, bringing the entire complement into cohesion in Christ. All creation is destine to be set free, by those who have sonship, those who are the chosen, those who are Christ’s at his return. This is want you should want to be a part of, what you should desire. You should not recoil in horror, you should embrace it.

Christ is making peace through the cross with all the evil forces. This even includes the unclean spirits and the Devil. No creature is left out of the reconciliation to Christ.

All is created for Christ. All mankind, All spiritual forces, and All animals are created for Christ. The sovereignties, and authorities that we wrestle against, where created for Christ.

All has its cohesion in him, all the evil forces will one day have cohesion in him. The entire complement delights to dwell in Him, Christ, thus all spiritual forces of wickedness, will one day delight to dwell in Him, Christ. This is clearly a future event, when all, every person, creature and spirit {including those that where once evil}, will delight to dwell.

Satan is not beyond redemption, what ever you thoughts on how wicked he is. He can and will be changed, wether you like it or not.

The nature of the devil is in Bad men, they are known as the “sons of the wicked one.” Those who are Christ’s once “walked, in accord with the eon of this world, in accord with the chief of the jurisdiction of the air, the spirit now operating in the sons of stubbornness” and where in their nature, “children of indignation” {Ephesians 2:2-3}. This evil is in all mankind, it is the nature of the Devil, until that nature is destroyed by the cross of Christ.

Through Christ death and resurrection, all evil in all mankind will be destroyed and all mankind will be saved. This evil in all mankind will be abolished, and all mankind will be reconciled to Christ. All mankind will be changed from God’s enemies into His beloved children. This evil can and will be destroyed in all mankind, and it can and will be destroyed in the evil spirits and the Devil.

Those of us who believe that All mankind will be saved, believe that the Jews will be saved. Christ called them "serpents" and "vipers". He also had this to say about the Jews “You are of your father, the Adversary, and the desires of your father you are wanting to do” {John 8:44}. That is they are of their father Satan. Even thou these wicked men where partakes of the nature of the Devil, they will be saved. We who believe all saved, believe that the ones who the Lord describes as "serpents" and "vipers" and have the Adversary as there father will be saved. These are the ones that have Satan’s nature in them, these along with all others will be Saved. Then is beyond God to have these evil spirits saved, is it impossible for salvation of these wicked spirits, that wicked men have the nature of? Of course not, salvation is not only possible, but will actually happen.

All Reconciled to God

All will not only be reconcile to Christ, but to God as well. For God will be All in all, at the consummation, at the end of the eons.

No about of unbelief on your part or any one else part will effect God’s grace and power to reconcile all to him. God will over come all the evil forces out there, he will bring them back to him, they will be reconciled.

Does God Love the Wicked Unclean Spirits?

Does God not love all that he has created? Yes he does. You may think that God should not love the wickedly evil forces. It should be remember that God created them, they did not just appear one day, God created them through Christ.

Does God not Love his enemies? Are we not to love our enemies? Where the Chosen not once enemies of God also?

Matthew 5:43 "You hear that it was declared, 'You shall be loving your associate' and you shall be hating your enemy.

44 Yet I am saying to you, Love your enemies, and pray for those who are persecuting you,

45 so that you may become sons of your Father Who is in the heavens, for He causes His sun to rise on the wicked and the good, and makes it rain on the just and the unjust. {CLV}

Thus we are to Love our enemies, does not Christ and God do the same? Are we instructed to love more than they love?

Each demon is an individual created by God, he is there Father. As there father he does not want to destroy them, but to reform them from there ways, to Save them.

1John 4:8 he who is not loving did not know God, because God is Love {CLV}

God is Love, God loves all that he has created, God will reconcile all to him, all will be saved, all will see the salvation.

Psalm 145:9 Yahweh is good to all, And His compassions are over all His works." 10 May all Your works acclaim You, O Yahweh, And let Your benign ones bless You." CLV

Are not the Satan and his angels the works of Yahweh, shall they not praise him? Is his tender compassions not over all his works?

Philippians 2:9 Wherefore, also, God highly exalts Him, and graces Him with the name that is above every name,10 that in the name of Jesus every knee should be bowing, celestial and terrestrial and subterranean,

11 and every tongue should be acclaiming that Jesus Christ is Lord, for the glory of God, the Father. {CLV}

Every knee bowing including celestial and terrestrial and subterranean, and every tongue should be acclaiming that Jesus Christ is Lord, for the glory of God, the Father.

Judgement

Matthew 8:28 And at His coming to the other side, to the country of the Gergesenes, two demoniacs meet Him, who were coming out of the tombs, very ferocious, so that no one is strong enough to be passing by through that road.

29 And lo! they cry, saying, "What is it to us and to Thee, Son of God! Didst Thou come here to torment us before the season?" {CLV}

Thus these demons know of a future time when they will be tormented. They will not escape judgement.

Jude 6 Besides, messengers who keep not their own sovereignty, but leave their own habitation, He has kept in imperceptible bonds under gloom for the judging of the great day. {CLV}

The angels here are in imperceptible bonds for the judging of the great day.

2 Peter 2:4-5 For if God spares not sinning messengers, but thrusting them into the gloomy caverns of Tartarus, gives them up to be kept for chastening judging; and spares not the ancient world, but guards Noah, an eighth, a herald of righteousness, {CLV}

Messengers {angels} are kept for Chastening judgement, corrective judgement.

1 Peter 3:18 seeing that Christ also, for our sakes, once died concerning sins, the just for the sake of the unjust, that He may be leading us to God; being put to death, indeed, in flesh, yet vivified in spirit,

19 in which, being gone to the spirits in jail also,

20 He heralds to those once stubborn, when the patience of God awaited in the days of Noah while the ark was being constructed, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were brought safely through water, {CLV}

He went to the spirits in jail, he heralds to the once stubborn, the spirits in jail, the fallen angels in Tartarus. The spirits in 1 Peter are identified in 2 Peter as sinning messengers {Angels in other translations}. He can’t herald to the people of that time, they are dead, their spirits have gone back to God. Why herald to them, if they will not be saved?

1 Corinthians 6:3 Are you not aware that we shall be judging messengers, not to mention life's affairs? {CLV}

Shall we not judge fallen angels?

What does happen to the Satan and his angels?

Revelation 20:10 And the Adversary who is deceiving them was cast into the lake of fire and sulphur {brimstone (theion)} , where the wild beast and where the false prophet are also. And they shall be tormented (basanizo) day and night for the eons of the eons(aion). {CLV}

theion is “divine incense, because burning brimstone was regarded as having power to purify, and to ward off disease”.

basanizo is “to test (metals) by the touchstone, which is a black siliceous stone used to test the purity of gold or silver by the colour of the streak produced on it by rubbing it with either metal”.

Satan and the fallen angels will be purified and refined. Fallen angels will be transformed back to their original holy state. If unbelievers are purified and refined by the fire, then why can’t the Devil and demons be purified and refined?

The Adversary {Devil} and the wicked evil spirits will be in the Lake for two eons.

If all mankind can and will be saved, then I see no probably with All the spiritual forces being saved also.
