Isaiah 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! King James relates this star of the morning as applying to Lucifer. It appears to support the theory that before the rebellion in Heaven Lucifer was the top Angel. His transgression earned him banishment from Heaven to the earth, where because of his adverse conflict with God, he was renamed Satan, or an enemy of God. There is another portion of scripture from 2 Peter 2:4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; Jude 1:6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. Matthew 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: All of these verses seem to indicate that Lucifer, who was banished to the earth with a third of the Angels, and Satan, or the Devil, are one and the same character. |

In the Vulgate, Lucifer occurs in Isaiah 14:12 as a translation of the Greek word heosphorus("dawn bearer"), an epithet of Venus. The original Hebrew text of this verse was,Heilel ben-schahar, meaning "Venus, son of the morning" or "Venus, the brilliant one", a poetic epithet of the king of Babylon, comparable to many other titles used by kings throughout history, such as Louis XIV of France being called Le Roi Soleil ("The Sun King"). In Isaiah, this title is specifically used, in a prophetic vision, to reference the king of Babylon's pride and to illustrate his eventual fate by referencing mythological accounts of the planet Venus. The Jewish Encyclopedia reports that "it is obvious that the prophet in attributing to the Babylonian king boastful pride, followed by a fall, borrowed the idea from a popular legend connected with the morning star". However, this metaphorical "falling from the heavens" was later misinterpreted as a literal fall from heaven when the passage's original meaning was made opaque by retranslations and eventually forgotten. I hope this information is useful to you, it can be found on the internet regarding Lucifer, also articles from Latin Vulgate.com and Wikipedia. | ||||||
