Isaiah was figuratively speaking of the king of Babylon in reference to his glory and pomp, but he was actually referring to the destruction of a planet known to the ancient world as the "shining one". However, Satan in the Bible has no connection with the Lucifer of Isaiah. The early church fathers were under the impression that, the passage could only refer to Satan, the prince of darkness. The only place in the Holy Bible where the word Lucifer is found is in Isaiah.
Henderson says: "The application of this passage to Satan, and to the fall of the apostate angels, is one of those gross perversions of Sacred Writ which so extensively obtain, and whichĪre to be traced to a proneness to seek for more in any given passage than it really contains." Henderson in his Isaiah renders the line: "How art thou fallen from heaven, O illustrious son of the morning!" Dr. Tertullian and Gregory the Great understood this passage of Isaiah in reference to the fall of Satan in consequence of which the name Lucifer has since been applied to Satan and this is now the usual acceptation of the word.ĭr. The Hebrew meaning of the word seems to be "brilliant", "splendid", "illustrious", or as in the Septuagint, Vulgate, the Rabbinical commentators, Luther, and others, "brilliant star!" and in this sense was the proper name among the Hebrews of the morning star. In ancient times, this word was wrongly interpreted to mean Satan. The word Lucifer comes from a Latin word meaning, "Light-bringing", a name sometimes given by poets to the Moon, or to the planet Venus when it appears as the morning star and to the day.
For I will rise up against them, saith the Lord of hosts, and cut off from Babylon the name, and remnant, and son, and nephew, saith the Lord." (Isaiah 14:12-22). Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities. Thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of evil-doers shall never be renowned. Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial because But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit as a carcass trodden under feet. They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms that made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof that opened not the house of his prisoners? All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, everyone in his own house. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer (O day star), son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds I will be like the most High.
