1 | Using the word Lucifer | Is 14:12 | Morant61 | 217831 | ||
Greetings Doc! Thanks for the good quote. :-) There are two separate issues with Is. 14:12. One involves translation, while the other involves interpretation. There appears to be absolutely no justification for translating the Hebrew word in Is. 14:12 as 'Lucifer'. There also appears to be no justifiction for interpreting the passage as a reference to Satan. So, I think Calvin was right on! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Hi Tim, Your point about the distinction between translation and interpretation is well founded! The Dictionary of Biblical Languages With Semantic Domains makes this observation- "helel; light-bearing object in the sky, Shining One, i.e., Morning star or Day star, the planet Venus, prominent in the morning, referring to the majesty and high status of a king (Isa 14:12), Note: KJV, NKJV translates as “Lucifer,” but it is begging the question to say this must then refer to Satan. Note: possibly this is a reference to a “crescent moon” based on analogous language studies" Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
