Will God Save Satan?
Mike,
And Satan will be saved?!!!! That is a hard pill to swallow. I don’t see scriptural proof. I know all will bow down and declare with their mouth that he is Lord, but that doesn’t mean that Satan is saved. Kings conquer nations, and after they are conquered they can make the people bow down to him, but that does not mean the king is going to treat that nation nice.

You are so right. God will not treat the flesh nicely either, but it is “through death” that we receive life, and it is through destruction that we receive our new bodies. We do not receive bodies of flesh, no matter how many sermons say otherwise. This is the Truth of God’s Word:
1Co 15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
Concerning Satan, this is the Truth of God’s Word:
Rev 12:9 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.
Just as with man, it was God who created Satan as he is – “that old serpent.” As such it is God’s responsibility to do just this:
Eph 1:9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
Eph 1:10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
“All things… both which are in heaven and which are on earth,” certainly includes Satan and the entire spirit realm, both the good and the evil.
I hope this helps you to see what God is doing.
Mike
