Any translation is bound to subjective representation...

The Original Devil, the other names and mythological bible story came after the translations of the bible to include a more colorful background and different stories of, the (Devil, Beelzebub, Lucifer and Satan) occurs Lucifer was more appealing to the church and links to heaven.
"E-V-I-L" Personified became the "D-E-V-I-L"
Baalzebub was a local "baal" or god - of the Philistines city of Ekron, in ll Kings.
Beelzebul is mentioned in the Gospels as "prince of demons" incorrectly called "Beelzebub" in the King James Version, through mistaken identity with the god of ll kings.
The Evil, Satan, Lucifer, has gone through a metamorphosis through history from a philistine God, to what the bible accounts and the Catholic church as painted him today, Christianity has embraced the accounts of the "evil one" as needed.
Occurs movies, pictures and so called "visions" has given him a body, a face and a evil intent over human kind and the forever fight of "Good and Evil" "Haven vs Hell"

'Baalzebub' would be whomever is in possession of Zu, the storm-bird - but out here in the wild west we call him thunderbird.
Bel ZaBabbar is the same as saying 'The LORD of the shining Zu.'
No deception there...just good old fashioned meteorological magic!

For instance, Baalzebub could be likened to the King and Zu the storm-bird, a Queen in a chess game. The Queen is the Kings most powerful weapon on the checkered board. Able to strike fear and terror in the hearts of the opponent if wielded correctly?
What do you think?

Really?
Wondering who in the heck is chained in the desert?
And again the Lord said to Raphael:
'Bind Azazel hand and foot, and cast him into the darkness: and make an opening in the desert, which is in Dudael, and cast him therein. And place upon him rough and jagged rocks, and cover him with darkness, and let him abide there for ever, and cover his face that he may not see light. And on the day of the great judgment he shall be cast into the fire.

No one now.
It WAS Azazel.
And again the Lord said to Raphael:
'Bind Azazel hand and foot, and cast him into the darkness: and make an opening in the desert, which is in Dudael, and cast him therein. And place upon him rough and jagged rocks, and cover him with darkness, and let him abide there for ever, and cover his face that he may not see light. And on the day of the great judgment he shall be cast into the fire.
From Enoch.

So why isn't Azazel chained in the desert? Isn't he supposed to be there until the day of Great Judgment?
I realize their is alot of symbolism here. Is darkness indicative of a worldly existence.
Rough and Jagged rocks symbolic of hardship and covering his face a life away from the astral light?
Then on the Great Day he is cast into the fire?
Isn't he already there?
Azazel was the angel who, presumably, represents the serpent in the Garden at least according to the wiki article.
