Gods’ provision of redemption

In what way God offered reconciliation to angels, and how many availed themselves of His grace is not revealed. This is due to the fact that the Bible is not a history of the creation,fail, judgment or redemption of angels, as it is of man. whatever is said about angels, demons, pre-adamites, and other creatures not of the present race and other creation on earth, is limited to that which is necessary to reveal Gods plan for man. In 1st Tim. 5:21 we read of elect angels; and the term is no doubt used in the same sense as elect man who are redeemed. We then conclude that angels did have some means of grace and reconciliation, and that some are called elect because they became reconciled. God, who is all good, has always given mercy to rebels of the human race, and we can believe that He was just as merciful to angels, demons, and pre-adamite rebels, providing them with a means of grace befitting their nature and creative purposes. Among those who ruled,the ones who rebelled when on probation, and now presist in continued rebellion will be punished in the same way that human rebels will be (Mt. 25:41). Since both classes are to be punished, we conclude that angels, as well as men, have been given some means of grace even though not by blood sacrifice.
