Amazingly, some angels who knew God, abandoned Him for a new abode, and were lost forever. This certainly shows us that some people will never turn to God, no matter what God reveals to them.
Here we see a picture of their fate - everlasting darkness, everlasting chains. See the angels index (angels.inx).
