Neither the devil nor hell is mentioned in the bible, I know it's shocking right? Or should I say flaming?

Now before you jump down my throat one thing has to be understood about the bible. it’s open to interpretation and many of the writings can be taken either literally or figuratively.

Satan = Serpent?:

Christian interpretation of the serpent in the Garden of Eden has been based on Revelation 12:9, which refers to the devil as “that ancient serpent called the Devil, or Satan, the one deceiving the whole world; was thrown down to the earth with all his angels,” despite the fact that Satan is never mentioned in the Book of Genesis.

The epic poem Paradise Lost by John Milton helped to flesh out the depiction of Satan.

He is stately in appearance and his deportment is majestic. Even after his fall from heaven he stood like a tower, in shape and gesture proudly eminent and his form had still retained much of its original brightness. He is a character of indomitable, promethean spirit.- Paradise Lost

Hell is a work of fiction:
