I don't see any correlation between these worshipers that came to worship before the Presence of the Lord and any mention of angels.With all due respect....in the book of Job...the angelic beings are called the Sons of God and rejoiced when the earth was formed.
And just because it says "satan" means nothing. The word "satan" is also used to describe men who were adversaries of God. Possibly, this worshiper didn't like that God and Job were so close. That itself shows lack of love.
25 And he was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, beside the mischief that Hadad did: and he abhorred Israel, and reigned over Syria. 1 Kings 11:24–25.
adversary [Strong's #7854] שָׂטָן śāṭān from [#7853] (satan); an opponent; especially (with the article prefixed.)
The word is found twenty-seven times in the KJV, and it is translated as Satan 19 times, adversary 7 times, withstand 1 time.
[Strong's #7853] שָׂטַן śāṭan a primitive root; to attack, (figurative) accuse.
This form of "satan" is translated adversary 5 times, and resist 1 time.
So, unless there is some connection or mention in the text this "adversary" in 1 Kings above and Job that a 'spirit-being' angel is in view here then you have nothing. Just another example of flawed Constantinian Gentile interpretation biased towards Gentiles.
But there can be no fallen angel referred to in the text as the angels that sinned were all locked up by God for the iniquity that was found in Lucifer and the rest of this fallen group of creatures created by God.
4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; 2 Peter 2:4.
And Jude concurs with Peter's statement in his letter.
6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. Jude 1:6.
And Isaiah reveals more information in his writings.
15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. Isaiah 14:15.
I think there is more to be said concerning the angels that sinned against God before there was a man created than the interpretation that "sons of God" refer to fallen angels. The "sons of God" in Genesis 6 are merely the obedient family line of Seth, Eve's child. This family line would eventually birth Abram the Hebrew whom God would make an eternal salvation covenant with a couple of generations later.
