The devil/accuser in Hebrew is variously “Satan’el” “Satarie” “Baal Davar” “Mastema,” “mastemah” (literally “hatred”) and similar phrasings.

I just don’t see it. There are legitimate theological beefs to be had without injecting nonsense.

Try looking here:

How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, you who weakened the nations! Isaiah 14:12 (NKV)

How you have fallen from heaven, O morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations! Isaiah 14:12 (NIV)

O Lucifer and O morning star are assigned Strong's Reference Number 1966 -- whose English pronunciation is given as heylel or hay-lale -- and whose English translation is given as the morning-star -- lucifer.
