Fallen angels and satan

[Theophilos18]

I have a question regarding satan. I realize these things are beyond our understanding, but it’s just a question I’ve always had. Quite simply, if we know that he will eventually be defeated by God, then why does he not repent? Simply pride? Why do all the fallen angels not repent? What is the point of this constant rebellion if it is written that it is ultimately guaranteed to fail?

 

[Dougbro1]

Unlike us, when angels make a decision, they choose it with their whole being. No uncertainty, no going back. Pride, too, has a role to play in this. These angels were tested by God, and they couldn’t stand to think that in some way, people would have such great importance. The intellect of the angels is superior to ours, so it’s more than likely that they would know the consequences of their decision, and yet, they chose it anyway. They didn’t think they could find happiness without God, but with their whole beings, they decided they would not serve. They would rather “reign in Hell than serve in Heaven,” as quoted from Paradise Lost (I think it was that, at least. Maybe it was somewhere different).

 

[Mary888]

Cherubim is plural.in Hebrew. Before the fall.Satan was a Cherubim (plural even if he.is one person). So how can we know,.from our own small.position, if this 9nth army that has fallen is one angel or many?
One.poet whom I suspect was an occultist said that the Morning Star said to the daughter of a King “what do you care clay creature.if I am one or other? In your world of dust only luck parties with you.”
Who cares about the substance or number of the enemy when GOD HIMSELF is present to us together with His Holy Archangels and the Saints who are said to have replaced the fallen army in Heaven. We throw away GOD to know more about the enemy? Why? Is this not towards our damnation?
The more we know about the enemy the more he gets us.
Just leave these thoughts. Abandon them as Saint Peter abandoned his belongings to follow Christ.
