Enlil is a sumerian God of storms which serves as an adversery to man. I'm going to quickly attribute him to the Old Testament God. In the sumerian flood myth, he's the one responsible for destroying the Earth.

Enki however is a benevolent trickster God who is described as being in competition with his brother Enlil, while his brother Enlil is a harsh and judgemental God who keeps on destroying the Earth, then he keeps on interfering with his brother's plans. When Enlil destroys the Earth with the flood Enki is unable to prevent it and decides to save one good man who is named Atrahasis, and commands him to build an ark. I associate Enki with the New Testament God, with some aspects of Lucifer such as being a trickster spirit.
Now correspondences with Jesus, who refers to himself as the morning star, I attribute him to Lucifer, my reasoning is made clear. A note about gender on the spiritual, it's way more fluid. A lot of deities typically represented as male, take female forms when you work with them, and vice versa. I correspond Ianna, the daughter of Enki to Jesus.
She is actually kind of a badass God, she is a God of war and love, but she keeps on overthrowing other God's and stealing their domains. Interesting to note that transvestites were actually sacred to her. The Lucifer I've worked with has been able to connect with transgender people quite easily and a lot of people I'm led to guide towards him tend to be transgender. !neofoids
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inanna
Reading up, although there are similarities to Inanna such as them both being associated with the "morning star", Jesus as a God better fits her twin brother Utu, who is a divine Judge associated with the Sun, and Jesus is a sun God.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamash
Am I claiming that Jesus is Utu or Shamash? No, but he shares attributes associated with them and making a correspondence of Gods among different religion can help improve your ability to train your abstract reasoning, understand Gods, and grasp hidden meanings that may be lost.
Edit: Nvm, Marduk would fit better.

It's an excersise I would recommend if you are bored.

you're prolly right about a lot of this but Jesus was an actual Individual tho. and besides that you're mixing up acient symbolism into all this one melting pot and yea some of it passes down and obtains new meaning. But I feel like you would be better off reading about the people who did this sort of comparative mythological study rather than attempting it piecemeal yourself.

I know very well, I do read comparitive mythology and Ianna would better correspond to Lucifer but Marduk would better correspond to Jesus, but there weren't really any clear answers.
It was honestly just an exercise I did to better understand sumerian mythology. Not a serious academic comparative religion paper.

Marduk I associated with is because he's the King of Babylon much like Lucifer, he's the son of Enki, and he is He is the "son of the sun", jesus is a Sun God.

Oh please. Thats like saying Zues is a Greek deity and Jupiter a Roman deiry ...
Or Thoth is Egyptian and Hermes is Greek, and Mercury is Roman.
They are all the same deity and represent natural forces like the Seven Rays

Jesus = Morning Star attributed to the sun.
Revelation 22:16
Isaiah 14:12-17 was likely Old Testament God taunting Jesus.
The Marduk is known as Son of Sun, Marduk is also King of Babylon.
Marduk is associated with the Son of Enki, new testament god.
Like I said, it wasn't a serious exercise, but it did help me build and discover some connections between Jesus.
