If another person's input helps at all, I believe it does say somewhere that Lucifer was the mightiest.

And whether or not JRRT liked allegory, a lot of his work can definitely be seen as such, without stretching. Illúvatar = God. Melkor/Morgoth = Satan/Lucifer/whateveryouwannacallhim. Tulkas = Michael. Etc. Of course, whoever you say corresponds to whoever depends on your vision of both, but whatever. The Valar can also easily be set equal to pagan gods. Ulmo = Poseidon. Varda = Hera...You get it.
