Bible Note: Greetings Ron, (Isaiah) "14:12-14 fallen from heaven...be like the Most High. Jesus' use of v. 12 to describe Satan's fall (Luke 10:18; cf. Rev. 12:8-10) has led many to see more than a reference to the king of Babylon. Just as the Lord addressed Satan in His words to the serpent (Gen. 3:14,15), this inspired dirge speaks to the king of Babylon and to the devil who energized him. See Ezek. 28:12-17 for similar language to the king of Tyre and Satan behind him." (1) "14:12 star of the morning. Lit., the bright one. Evidently a reference to Satan embodied in the king of Babylon because of Christ's similar description (Luke 10:18) and because of the inappropriateness of the expressions of verses 13-14 on the lips of any but Satan (cf. 1 Tim. 3:6). weakened the nations. Cf. Rev. 20:3)."
