What would Satan do if he were given the opportunity to repent and return to Heaven?

Lie about repenting and return to Heaven in order to work evil. Here's what Jesus said about the Devil.
John 8:44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

Eternal paradise in Heaven requires something Satan could never do - submit to the will of God. Remember - Satan wants to be God. So no - even if he could repent and return to Heaven, it would be very short-lived.

I asked a similar question a while back. Most of the answers were "It can't happen, cuz it's not in the Bible." Well, I don't know what would happen. Maybe eternal peace and harmony throughout the universe. Here's hoping he repents soon!

If Satan existed and was as described, he'd laugh at such an "opportunity". Satan, *as a literary figure*, never felt that he'd done anything wrong and was convinced that he'd been cast out of Heaven because he'd presented a challenge to God and a threat to God's power.
"Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven."
(Milton, Paradise Lost)

He won't ever repent instead he will be destroyed big style when the Lord Jesus returns! I can't wait.
So why are you asking this rather silly question?

He cannot repent. Once you've known the Glory of God and you reject Him anyway it is impossible to repent. This goes for humans too.

He started a war in heaven and attempted to over throw God.
Satan is just waiting until judgement day for his sentence.....

well... youd think he would want to repent and return to heaven but considering he probly still believes hes better than God(which he isnt) then hed probly stay down there.

he would probably stay and not repent so he can keep hell to himself and so that he is a ruler of the underworld. he wouldn't like not being the master of the place. you know what i mean?

I don't believe that Satan and God and Heaven adn Hell really exist but if they did, I don't think that Satan would change his ways. I think he likes turning people again God.But that's only if they really do exist.
