Santan's eventual redemption?

[Azure24]

There was an article of it in wikipedia (although i can't find it). Someone sometime ago preached that God will inevitebly for the Devil (presummably at the end of days) and Satan will be restored. Can anyone find it and also your thoughts please.

Sorry, I'm not understanding your question.

As for redemption of the adversary, to my knowledge that is not a Christian teaching. I have heard some allusion to a similar thought amongst Buddhist teaching. I do not know what Judaism teaches on this subject.

My understanding is that at least originally Judaism did not consider Satan to be the "Prince of Darkness" or a "Fallen Angel"... More like a prosecuting attorney in God's court. That's certainly the way he was depicted in the Book of Job.

I don't know how many Jews these days believe in the existence of Satan or a being like him. I imagine a fair number don't, though undoubtedly many also do, although not in the way Christianity depicts him.

There is a story in Islam that Satan and the Angels were commanded by God to do obeisance to his new creation... Adam.

The Angels obeyed, but Satan did not as he was too full of pride. This was Satan's fall, so to speak.

This also explains the enmity between Satan and Adam/Mankind from Eden onwards.

At the time of Moses, Satan went to Moses to ask if he could reconcile him to God...
The answer God gave was for Satan to go to Adam's grave and do obeisance to him...
Again Satan refused, that was his last chance.
