Though it may symbolise that, I don't see why it is the case here. Why do you keep insisting on this, if you have no evidence?
We are not discussing the bible and its symbols or wikipedia.

Also, we have no evidence that the Balrog was after the Ring. He could have just been angry at being awaken, plus he would have been aware (eventually) that Gandalf also was a Maiar & therefore one of the few foes who could potentially defeat him.
