“Satan will never bow down to his Creator “

Oh yes he will.

Consider the temptation of Christ in the wilderness:

Matthew 4:5-10
Then the devil took Him up into the holy city, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written:
‘He shall give His angels charge over you,’
and,
‘In their hands they shall bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone.’”
Jesus said to him, “It is written again, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’”
Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said to Him, “All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.”
Then Jesus said to him, “Away with you, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.’”

Here Satan, an angel, attempts to get Christ, who is God, to bow to him and worship him. Satan first (in the quoted portion) asks for Christ to essentially trust him, as an angel, to do what God said angels would do for Him. Angels will be in charge of His safety. Satan, an angel, tells Christ to jump, implying that if God’s words are true then He can count on Satan to catch Him. (Satan never identifies himself as Satan.)

Jesus replied that no one should tempt God. This has two meanings. One, Christ would not put His heavenly Father to the test. But two, Satan is commanded NOT to tempt Christ, who is God.

Satan also tried to get Jesus to bow to him. Jesus answered that it is commanded to worship God only. This also has two meanings. One, Christ will not worship or bow to the Devil but only to His heavenly Father. But two, Satan is COMMANDED to bow to Jesus, who is the Creator and Almighty God.

When Jesus said these words to Satan, He could have easily and truthfully gestured by first pointing to Satan and then to Himself, as the designated worshiper and Person to be worshipped respectively.

Here are other passages which show that not only is Satan commanded to bow to Jesus, but he must, and he will.

Hebrews 1:6
But when He again brings the firstborn into the world, He says:
“Let all the angels of God worship Him.”

Notice the word “all”. Not only are holy angels obligated, so are the fallen ones.

Philippians 2:10
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth...

Romans 14:11
For it is written:
“As I live, says the Lord,
Every knee shall bow to Me,
And every tongue shall confess to God.”

It may infuriate Satan to know his fate, but before he is cast into the lake of fire, he will first bow down to his Creator.
