Are angels subject to judgment?

Since the heavenly hosts are part of creation, they are subject to judgment just like a star (one of the greatest among the heavenly ranks) that has fallen (Isa. 14:12) and has dragged down with it many ranks. Satan and his angels fell into pride and were therefore judged and cast into the eternal hell.

We can say that all the heavenly hosts stand before God to give an account for their deeds, but since they have now rejected Satan for the sake of God’s kingdom, they can no longer fall; not because their nature does not allow them to, but because they have already passed the test of humility and still abide by their spirit of humility and joy. Their status has become like that of the saints who have departed, but of course it is a bit different because humans have their own weaknesses because of their flesh that has been sanctified by the precious blood of Christ through the work of the fiery Holy Spirit.

The ruler of this world, Satan (John 16:11) has been condemned, and on the great day of the Lord, the Lord will say, “to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels’” (Matt. 25:41).
