On the Apokatastasis: In KG 3.9 Evagrius describes the healing transformations leading to apokatastasis -, restoration of all to union with God. Evagrius interprets Prov. 14.9, cited here as meaning,, “They become pure in order to see God, for this is the blessed end reserved for every reasoning nature,”(Sch 136 On Prov 14.9) The demons, characterized by ignorance, freezing cold, and water (KG  6.25), will be changed for the better by the angelic elements of fire and air, (KG 1.68, )and will inexoribly be made to “concentrate henceforth on knowledge” (cf. Sch 135 On Prov 14.7).
