Where does the Scripture say that the satan is an angel and he has many fallen angels with him, and they will perish (destroyed) in the lake of fire? _________________ YHWH is my God and Jesus is my Lord
One will not find in the scriptures 'quote unquote' "satan is an angel" and "he has many fallen angels with him", and "they will perish (destroyed) in the lake of fire" or "satan will be destroyed".
One can by the scriptures understand that the lake of fire is the second death and symbolizes eternal destruction; and the lake of fire/second death is where satan and all who do not get written into book of life go at the end of the thousand year reign Rev. 20:4,5 . Revelation 20:14,15
...............................
The casting of death and hades into the lake of fire symbolizes the eternal destruction of condemnation in Adam and its wages, death in Adam. During the Millennial age, their destruction is a part of the utter destruction which will include every improper, injurious and useless thing. (Isaiah 11:9; Psalm 101:5- For the individuals who are released from hades, but who fail to get their names in the Lamb’s Book of Life by obedience to the books that are opened to them at that time, the lake of fire will be their second death, which will be final. The lake of fire, as symbolically holding those in this oblivious condition, is itself never destroyed. It will continue to hold its occupants in the realm of destruction, oblivion, for all eternity. The second death will never be destroyed................

P.S. I posted a link 'Software program searchable bibles' for a bible search program, if you don't use one; I find it very useful for finding specific scriptures on topics. _________________ YHWH is my God and Jesus is my Lord
REV 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
REV 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
REV 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

First, Speaking to Satan in Ezekiel 28:12-16, God refers to him as being: “…full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. In Eden the garden of God…the anointed cherub that is covering…you were faultless in your ways from the day of your being created…” Therefore as the Covering Cherub he had to be not only an angel but a powerful angelic creature.
This is further confirmed in Job 1:6 when the angelic sons of God stood before him and Satan also entered among them. The proof that this was in heaven is Satan’s answer to God in Job 1:7 when asked where he had come from, he answered: “From roving and walking about in the earth.”
Regarding your next part, when the kingdom was born in the heavens at the end of the Gentile times Satan tried to defeat it before it could get started and so with the angels who were with him he waged war with Michael and his anointed ones. (Revelation 12:7) We are informed in Revelation 12:4 in symbolic terms that the dragon [Satan] drew a third of the stars [angels] with him.
Your last part, Satan and ‘all’ who remain with him are cast into the symbolic lake of fire which is actually the ‘second death’ from which this time there is no redemptive resurrection; only total annihilation.
I hope this clears up your query.
