When did the demon announce they were afraid of God?

This verse has an exchange between Jesus and a group of demons, where they certainly appear to exhibit fear.[Luk 8:31 NASB] 31 They were imploring Him not to command them to go away into the abyss.
This verse indicates that demons are part of Satan's kingdom: [Luk 11:18 NASB] 18 "If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.
This verse shows the end of Satan, and by extrapolation, his entire kingdom: [Rev 20:10 NASB] 10 And the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are also; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
This verse indicates exactly why the lake of fire exists, and moreover, many take "angels" here to mean demons [Mat 25:41 NASB] 41 "Then He will also say to those on His left, 'Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels;
Lastly, James 2:19 already cited sums it up nicely: [Jas 2:19 NASB] 19 You believe that God is one. You do well; the demons also believe, and shudder.
So, both Satan and the demons have reason to fear. Believers in Jesus have no reason to fear, except to "fear" God in the sense of reverence.

You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder.
James 2:19
