Satan is the prince of evil spirits and adversary of God in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Satan is traditionally understood as an angel who rebelled against God and was cast out of heaven with other “fallen” angels before the creation of humankind. All three religions also see Satan as the cause of humankind’s expulsion from the Garden of Eden.
Baal is the name given to the ancient Canaanite-Phoenician deity that was previously called Hadad, who was the god of fertility (childbirth) as well as rain and storms. However, the word ''baal'' means lord, and was also applied to several other deities as well as human rulers.
Baal is Nimrod/Zeus/Osiris and the the Holy Bible clearly states that Zeus is actually Satan. Lucifer was the name of an angel who betrayed god, who had his name changed to Satan in the scriptures after he got cast out of heaven.
Acts 14:12-15
New International Version
12 Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul they called Hermes because he was the chief speaker. 13 The priest of Zeus, whose temple was just outside the city, brought bulls and wreaths to the city gates because he and the crowd wanted to offer sacrifices to them.
14 But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of this, they tore their clothes and rushed out into the crowd, shouting: 15 “Friends, why are you doing this? We too are only human, like you. We are bringing you good news, telling you to turn from these worthless things to the living God, who made the heavens and the earth and the sea and everything in them.
Edit : because I can't remember everything without reviewing the comment.
The equivalent God's and gods were worshiped together at that time. Zeus is the God in charge, child of Titans ( Giants) Lucifer couldn't have disobeyed or fallen if he was in charge.
The devil was made up, and then Lucifer, and satan started being mixed up by people like you that lack the basics but think they understand.
But I never mentioned the devil in the first place, I'm just telling you that the false "pagan" god Zeus is actually Baal, and that the bible literally states that Zeus is Satan.
Lucifer/Satan is associated with all these ancient false pagan gods that I listed above, including Nimrod and his reincarnated form Tammuz.
These entities have nothing in common with our almighty creator God, he is the one and only True Lord of Heaven.
“Zeus” is “derived from the root *diwu-, ‘day (as opposed to night)’ (Lat dies), ‘clear) sky’. He is identified with local weather gods of Asia Minor, with great sky gods (Zeus Beelsêmên,→Baalshamem).”19 Not only was his weapon lightning, but the animal always attached to him is the eagle—for flight. The equivalent at Ugarit may have been “Baal of the wing” (b’l knp).”20 Thus, “The Greek name for the Olympian Zeus when rendered into Semitic language becomes ‘baal shamem’ (2 Macc. 6:2). Literally, this means ‘Lord of Heaven.’”21 Thus, we find that “a temple at Umm el-Amed is dedicated to Baal-Shamem (KAI 18). In Greek inscriptions from this region he is called Zeus hypsistos, ‘Highest →Zeus’, Zeus megistos keraunios, ‘Magnific lightning Zeus.’”22 The Baal who was worshiped on Mount Carmel in the Elijah vs. the prophets of Baal story, was probably the Phoenician deity Baal Shamem (“Lord of Heaven”).
We may have already seen a hint of the relationship between Satan and Baal in the name Beelzebub. This word can mean “Lord” (from Ba’al) “of the House” or “Lord of Flies.” Curiously, the high God of Greece was called “Zeus Averter of Flies.
If this is all true, then suddenly, we have an explanation for the absence of Satan in the OT and the wide-spread presence of Baal in the same place. The reality may very well be that Satan is Baal. Baal is no mere idol. He is a person who resides in heavenly places and is the ultimate usurper of all things that are said of Christ. Jesus, not Baal, is the Cloud-Rider (Dan 7:13; Matt 24:30).25 To him belongs the power of the weather. His is the throne of heaven. He is the Christ. Baal-Zeus-
Jupiter, he who wishes to punish the nations (paraphrasing Plato), is the true antichrist who sits as prince over Rome pretending to be God until he is finally and thoroughly thrown into the lake of fire at the end of days.
If you don't cite it, I can't review it properly. And this is already a nightmare on my phone.
You once again are having an issue due to lack of understanding basic mythology, and biblical writing methods. Parallelism was used a whole lot due to persecution.
Styles of writing on the Bible
Parallelism is a form of poetry without metric rhyme or rhythm. Parallelism is more concerned with the rhythm of thoughts than with rhyme of sounds or words. While there are various types of parallelism, the most common are those that repeat the same thoughts but in different words, those that show contrast, and those that amplify the original thought.
Hermes is the son of Zeus. When you go back to the Bible verse I gave you previously this is giving you information about the two people being discussed. Mercury is the messanger in the same manner the archangel Gabriel is for the Abrahaamic religions. This verse tells you who these two people are, and what their actions were. But, knowing the backstory was to them like saying to us King Author. Instantly the entire tale comes to mind.Just like seeing people referred to as, " Saint" tells you it's a Catholic document.
Being able to use the Greek and Roman names interchangeably is important because astrotheology is a huge part of the Bible. In this manner you take the three ; satan, devil, Lucifer together if you can't distinguish between Lucifer, or satan. Musically DMX uses one line to make the listener connect to an entire song. This makes his lyrics much more powerful 𝚏𝚘𝚛 𝚝𝚑𝚘𝚜𝚎 𝚠𝚒𝚝𝚑 𝚎𝚢𝚎𝚜 𝚝𝚘 𝚜𝚎𝚎, 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚜 𝚝𝚘 𝚑𝚎𝚊𝚛. Don't forget how much he loved God, and the Bible. When it comes to the Bible the references are not as obvious to us all these years later in a different geographical location, speaking a different language.
Zeus /Jupiter
Here we have him considered a God of light. Not a God of darkness.
Jupiter
the chief Roman god, husband of Juno, and god of light, of the sky and weather, and of the state and its welfare and its laws compare zeus.
the supreme god of the ancient Greeks, who became ruler of gods and men after he dethroned his father Cronus and defeated the Titans.
Baal is a title
The word ''baal'' means ''lord'' in several ancient Levantine Semantic languages, hence why this title was given to the important god Baal (previously Hadad) during antiquity. Hadad is often called ''Baal'' in ancient texts, including several books of the Hebrew Bible
That’s not how biblical naming works. In the Bible, your name changes based on circumstance. Before the fall, he was Lucifer. After the fall, he is Satan. Ba’al is just one of the names pagans gave him. You can still tell it’s the same person by the symbolism, doctrine, and moral character associated with the different names. The same thing applies to us as we are given new names after the second coming of Christ to reflect our status as redeemed beings.
Lucifer can be considered a devil or the devil after the fall. Not satan. Satan is a title. And, if you think of the story of Job it's clear Satan still had God's ear. The fallen did not, Demons are just fallen angels. The first heretics.
Of course he still had Gods ear. God isn’t a tyrant and gives everyone free will. He lets the Devil play things out within reason to allow the rest of creation an opportunity to see for themselves the consequences of sin. That’s why it’s playing out like this and God didn’t just erase Lucifer from existence right away. That would’ve left room for doubt and would only have given sin an opportunity to arise in others.
Did you never go to Bible study, or this topic was never covered? It's part of the answer to why in discussing Noah's flood. The wrath of God was so fierce the symbol of the rainbow was used to say he's never be that harsh again. Because he was a harsh, and never forget, " I am a jealous God".
Jude 1:6 - 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.

There is a theory that the Bible is referring to two different God's because of the differences. I'm not going to go into that. If you're interested in that, it's not quite part of the theory with the 4 different letters representing who wrote the Bible.
I will give you my opinion. When I read the Bible all the way through like a book for the second time just before I had kids, I was not able to accept or agree with the actions taken by God. As a soon to be parent they were not actions I could imagine myself taking.

You seem to have learned basic mythology taught in grade school and then stopped there, never actually investigating for anything of deeper substance.
No, I actually listen to podcasts while knitting, or crocheting. Ever think about how long those items take to make? I do I whole lot of listening.
