“At that time Michael, the great prince who protects your people, will arise. There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then. But at that time your people—everyone whose name is found written in the book—will be delivered. 2 Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt.  Daniel 12:1-2

Yes, of course there is a resurrected body for those who are lost. We can only surmise that their bodies will be suited for the environment they will be placed in for eternity.

I do not think the demons will be given resurrection bodies, based on this:

Lord, You will establish peace for us,
For You have also done all our works [g]in us.
13 O Lord our God, masters besides You
Have had dominion over us;
But by You only we make mention of Your name.
14 They are dead, they will not live;
They are deceased, they will not rise.
Therefore You have punished and destroyed them,
And made all their memory to perish.  Isaiah 26:12-14

The dead are referred to as "Rephaim."

The Rephaim are also associated in the OT with Sheol, the place of the dead. They are said to be inhabitants of Sheol in the following passages: Isaiah 14:9; 26:14, 19; Psalm 88:10; Job 26:5-6; Proverbs 2:18; 9:18; 21:16. The Hebrew Rephaim is in every one of these passages, yet you would never see this in the English if reading translations like the ESV, NASB, or KJV. Instead, the ESV uses words like “shades,” “dead,” and “departed.” If we leave Rephaim untranslated, this may reveal the role of the dead giants in Sheol, which is distinguished from other dead beings there. The Rephaim are said to rise up to greet the Babylonians when they sink down to Sheol in death (Isaiah 14:9). The false gods that Israelites at times worshipped are described as dead Rephaim that will not rise (Isaiah 26:14). The Psalmist asks whether the Rephaim will rise up to praise God (Psalm 88:10-11; cf. 88:3). The other passages highlight the Rephaim as inhabitants of Sheol (Job 26:5-6; Proverbs 2:18; 9:18; 21:16).

Isaiah 66:23-24  And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the Lord. And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.

Mark 9:47-48 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

Daniel 12:2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

IMHO, I believe they will be resurrected also, but their form may not be glorious.

Do you think the fallen angels were good looking at one time and then, after they sinned, they became grotesque looking?

All I’m seeing now advertised are alien creepy masks for Halloween.  If the demons truly look like that ...  it sure is getting the unsaved  accustomed/conditioned to “not” being afraid of them when they come on the scene.

All great input!

I also agree with Geri7, alas Dante's Inferno!

God in His ultimate justice will repay every evil and hurtful thing ever committed!  All transgressions against Him and others!

This is also why He stores our tears!

I don't think the demons are the same as the fallen angels.  I think they are the offspring of the fallen angels, as described in Genesis 6.
