1 | Is Isaiah 14:12 relating to the fall of | Is 14:12 | blue | 2356 | ||
The Hebrew word translated as "star of the morning" was translated into the Latin word "Lucifer" (meaning "light bearer") in the KJV. There is nothing in the context to suggest that it was meant to be a personal name rather than a title. Assuming that it is either a direct or indirect reference to Satan, the significance of the title is that Satan was radiant, more illustrious than all the other angels before his fall. The term was traditionally used to refer to the planet Venus, which is so bright that it usually can be seen with the moon in the early morning hours. There are several interpretations of this passage: 1) it refers only to the king of Babylon. 2) It refers to the king and to Satan, the real power behind the king of Babylon. 3) It refers only to Satan's fall from his position of prominence before God. Support for a reference to Satan is found in the name, "star of the morning"; in the fact that he has fallen from heaven; and in his determination to exalt himself as God's equal. The second view is probably the best. |
