I believe there is a parallel between the divine Trinity and the evil trinity. The divine Trinity is composed of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, whereas the evil trinity is composed of the archangel Jehovah, his faithful "legal representative" Satan, and the spirit of Jehovah, who may also be called "the spirit of the Antichrist".
As we read in Job 1: 6 and 2: 1, these texts narrate an episode in which the sons of Jehovah were before him and Satan was one of the sons. That is proof that Jehovah and Satan have a great affinity.
In addition to being Jehovah's son, Satan is his faithful henchman, that is, one who performs "dirty service". Satan, also called "Devil", is the angel who supports the archangel Jehovah, doing especially the unpleasant work.
Whenever there is an improper task for a god who was said to be just and merciful, Jehovah sends his unscrupulous ambassador Satan to do the job that involves retaliation, destruction, and other actions that imply violence.
This is what happened to Job. It was not Jehovah who suppressed Job's goods, children, and health. He commissioned his foreman Satan to perform all those evils with the permission of Jehovah.
In the same way, Jehovah sends his spirit whenever he intends to spread lies or creating confusion among men.
We have an example of these actions in the confusion established in Babel, which is related in Genesis 11: 6 and 7 ... And Jehovah said: Behold, the people are one, and they all have one tongue; and this is what they begin to do; and now, there will be no restriction on everything they try to do. Let us go down and confuse their tongues there, that one does not understand one another's tongue.
It should be noted that in this action, the verbs are plural, suggesting that there was a collective work of the evil trinity.
Another example is reported in 2 Chronicles 18: 18-21, where we read ... I saw Jehovah sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing at his right hand, and his left. And Jehovah said: Who shall persuade Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? One said this way, and another said another. And there came forth a spirit, and stood before Jehovah, and said, I will persuade him. And Jehovah said to him, with what? And he said, I will go out, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And Jehovah said: Thou shalt persuade him, and shalt prevail; go out, and do so.
A clear example of the collective action of the evil trinity lies in the temptation of Jesus in the wilderness, where Jehovah commissioned Satan to tempt Jesus, who was led by the spirit of Jehovah to the place of temptation.
In Luke 4: 1 and 2 we read: Jesus, filled with the Holy Spirit, left the Jordan and was led by the spirit (at this time the text does not say "Holy" concerning the spirit) to the wilderness, where for forty days he was tempted by the devil .
In this episode, we clearly see the evil trinity operating together, and the spirit of Jehovah led Jesus into the wilderness to be tempted by Satan, who was commissioned by Jehovah.
The divine Trinity also acts together, as in the episode of Jesus' baptism. There we see simultaneously the presence of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
In Luke 3:21 and 22, we read this ... When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was also baptized. And as he prayed, the heavens were opened and the Holy Spirit descended upon him bodily like a dove. And there came a voice from heaven, "You are my Son, whom I love, in whom I rejoice".
Making an analogy of the divine Trinity with the human body, the Son represents the arm, that is, the operative extent of the Father to perform his will.
In his turn, the Holy Spirit represents the finger, which is the extension of the arm to touch, sensitize and execute all the Son's purposes.
Biblical references attesting to this comparison are found in John 12:38, which compares the Son to the arm of God, and Matthew 12:28, which compares the Holy Spirit to the finger of God.
In the divine Trinity there is no hierarchy, for they are just a unique in essence, nature and power. The Son looks for always to honor the Father and the Father acts the same way towards the Son (John 5:23; Philippians 2:9-11).
Thus, the arithmetic of the divine Trinity is not 1+1+1=3, but rather 1x1x1=1, that is, three persons in a single entity. This is an incontestable proof that Christians are not polytheists, but rather monotheists.
In an opposite way, in the evil trinity there is no honor between the three entities, for they are always competing against each other to prevail.
The prevalent feeling present in the evil trinity is prophesized in the ambition of Lucifer announced in Isaiah 14:13-14 … “I will ascend to the heavens; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of Mount Zaphon. I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.”
 
Hi Oswaldo —
I believe there is a parallel between the divine Trinity and the evil trinity.
There are many parallels, both within the Christian Tradition, and in other traditions. If you're a Trinitarian Christian, the reason is obvious: creation is shaped by the Trinity, and its truth will filter through wherever it can ... evil trinities in this context is a new one ...

... whereas the evil trinity is composed of the archangel Jehovah, his faithful "legal representative" Satan, and the spirit of Jehovah, who may also be called "the spirit of the Antichrist".
Is there any scholarship to support this view?

Are you rejecting the God of Israel, as did Marcion and the gnostics?

As we read in Job 1: 6 and 2: 1, these texts narrate an episode in which the sons of Jehovah were before him and Satan was one of the sons.
Actually I don't think it does?
"Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them." (1:6 & 2:1)
I have emphasises the verb 'came', in Hebrew bow[/] meaning 'to go in, enter, come, go, come in', which in turn means Satan came in among the sons, not necessarily that Satan was one of the sons. You'd need further evidence to make that claim.
