Will Satan eventually repent?
The adversary will be brought to bowed and bent knees and confess Jesus Christ is Lord.
I will leave your quest of the destination up to you.
What does the scriptures say ?
If you cannot believe the Word of God and its translations and the Holy Spirit witness ,
where does the truth reveal itself than ?
I agree with Micah - ALL will bend the knee and confess the Goodness of God, and the Lordship of Jesus. Satan, if he exists, and there is some controversy on whether the word translated/transliterated as "Satan" is even a proper name, has a fate not easy to discern.
I love Colossians 1:15-20. I don't pretend to know all that it means or how it will transpire but it is such an overwhelming vision and hope. That just as all things: whether in heaven or earth, powers, authorities, etc; everything was made by him and for him, so all things will be reconciled to him. Reconciliation that comes "by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross". I can't fathom how relegating anyone or anything to eternal torment is a way of reconciliation or making peace. What an amazing God!
"Oh, the depths of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out!....For from him and through him and to him are all things."
So I guess we don't really know the how, but it seems pretty clear that absolutely nothing lies outside the reach of his "ultimate reconciliation".

Sounds to like a spirit being, the Adversary is real.Mat 4:3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
Mat 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
Mat 4:5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,
Mat 4:6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Mat 4:7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
Mat 4:8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
Mat 4:9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
Mat 4:10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
Mat 4:11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
