In a modern moder n translatio tr anslation n from the original Hebrew, Hebrew, the passage in which the phrase "Lucifer" or "morning star" occurs begins with the statement: "On the day the Lord gives you relief from your suffering and turmoil and from the harsh labour forced on you, you will take up this taunt against the king of Babylon: How the oppressor oppressor has come to an end! How his fury fur y has ended!"After describing the death of the king, the taunt continues: "How you have fallen from heaven,morning heaven,morning star , son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations! You said in your heart, 'I will ascend to the heavens; heavens; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of Mount Zaphon. I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself myself like the Most High.' But you are brought down to the realm of the dead, to the depths of the pit. Those who see you stare at you, they ponder your your fate: 'Is this the man who shook the earth and made kingdoms tremble, the man who made the world a wilderness, wilder ness, who over overthrew threw its cities and would not let his captives go home?'"
I the morning star is pictured as a god,Attar god, Attar , who attempted to occupy the throne of Ba'al of Ba'aland, and, finding he was unable to do so, descended and ruled the underworld original myth may have been about a lesser god Helel trying tr ying to dethrone the Canaanite high god El who lived on a mountain to the north. nor th. Similarities have been noted noted also with the story of of Ishtar Ishtar 's 's or Inanna or Inanna's 's descent into the underworld, ishtar and Inanna being associated with the planet Venus Venus.. The Babylonian myth of Etana has also been seen as connected. The Eerdmans Commentary on the Bible points out that no evidence evidence has been found of any Canaanite myth of a god being thrown from heaven, as in Isaiah 14:12. It concludes that the closest parallels with Isaiah's description of the king of Babylon as a fallen morning star cast down from heaven are to be found not in any lost Canaanite and other myths but in traditional ideas of the Jewish people themselves, echoed in the Biblical account of the fall of Adam and Eve, cast out of God's presence for wishing to be as God, and the picture of the "gods" and "sons of the Most High" destined to die and fall.This Jewish tradition has echoes also in Jewish Mythos such as Enoch and the Life of Adam and Eve Eve.

Rabbis, in Medieval Judaism, Judaism, rejected these Enochic literary works from the Biblical canon, canon, making every attempt to root them out. Traditionalist Rabbis often rejected any belief in rebel or fallen angels, having having a view that evil is abstract. However, in the 11th century, the Pirqe de-Rabbi Eliezer , drawing on ancient legends of the fallen angel or angels, brought back to the mainstream of rabbinic thought the personification of evil and the correspondin corr esponding g myth. Jewish exegesisof exegesisof Isaiah 14:12–15 took a more humanistic approach approach by identifying the king of Babylon as Nebuchadnezzar II. II. Early Earl y Christians were influenced by the association association of Isaiah 14:12-15 with the Devil, which had developed in the period between between the writing of the Old Testament and Even in the New Testame Testament nt itself, Sigve K Tonstad argues, the War in Heaven theme of Revelation of Revelation 12:7-9, 12:7-9, in which the dragon "who is called the devil and Satan … was thrown down to the earth", derives from the passage in Isaiah 14.Origen 14.Origen(184/185 (184/185 – 253/254) interpreted such Old Testament passages as being about manifestations of the Devil; but of course, writing in Greek, not Latin, he did not identify the Devil with the name "Lucifer".Tertullian "Lucifer".Tertullian(( who wrote in Latin, also understood Isaiah 14:14("I 14:14("I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High") as spoken by the Devil,but "Lucifer" is not among the numerous names and phrases he used to describe the Devil. Even at the time of the Latin writer
Augustine of Hippo(354 Hippo(354 – 430), "Lucifer" had not yet become a common name for the Devil. But some time later, the metaphor of the morning star that Isaiah 14:12 applied to a king of Babylon gave gave rise to the general use of the Latin word for "morning star", capitalized, as the original name of the Devil before his fall from grace, linking Isaiah 14:12 with Luke 10:18("I 10:18("I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven") heaven") and interpreting inter preting the passage in Isaiah as an allegory of Satan's fall from heaven. However, Christians have continued to understand the mention of the morning star in Isaiah 14:12 as a metaphor referring to a king of Babylon. Theodoret of Cyrus(c. Cyrus (c. 393 – c. 457) wrote that Isaiah calls the king "morning star", not as being the star, but as having had the illusion of being it. The same understanding is shown in Christian translations of the passage, which in English generally use "morning star" rather than treating the word as a proper name, "Lucifer". So too in other languages, such as French,German,Portuguese, French,German,Portuguese,[[and Spanish. Even the Vulgate text in Latin is printed with lower-case lucifer lucifer (morning (morning star), not uppercaseLucifer caseLucifer (proper (proper name). In theNajmu theNajmu thāqibu ( thāqibu (Ar Ar.."blazing star") may correspond to the morning star (He. (He.heylel heylel ) of Isaiah 14:12. In Islam Islam,, the account of Iblis follows the Lucifer motif. Iblis is banished from heaven and becomes Satan by refusing to prostrate prostr ate
before Adam. Thus, he sins after the after the creation of
man. Satan then swears an oath of revenge by tempting human beings and turning them away from God God..
The Only Place In history Lucifer is connected to a devil is through the recreation of the old testament and and twisting the tale around for the new Religion Christianity.
Now Lets talk about Who Satan is (Hebrew ha-Satan , "the opposer",) is the supreme evil spirit and adversery to God and humanity, particularly particularly in Abrahamic religions.It religions.It is the title of various entities, both human and divine, who challenge
the faith of humans in the Hebrew Bible.In Bible.In Christianity Christianity,, the title became a personal name, and "Satan" changed from an accuser appointed by God to test men's faith to the chief of the rebellious fallen angels ("the devil devil" " in Christianity, "Shaitan "Shaitan" " in Arabic, the term used by Arab Christians Christians and and Muslims Muslims).In ).In Islam, Islam, a shay shayṭān is any evil evil creature, whether human, animal or spirit or spirit.. With the definite article, the S the Shayṭān is Iblis Iblis,, the Devil.
(
) is the equivalent of Sa Satan in Islam Islam.. While
Shaitan ( Shaitan ( , from the root šṭn ) is an adjective (meaning "astray" or "distant", sometimes translated as "devil") that can be applied to both man ("al-ins", ) and Jinn Jinn,, Iblis (Arabic pronunciation pronunciation [ˈibliːs]) is the personal per sonal name of the Devil who is mentioned in the Qur'anic account of Genesis.. According to the Qur'an,Iblis Genesis Qur'an,Iblis(the (the Arabic name used) disobeyed disobeyed an order from Allah to bow to Adam and as a result was forced out of heaven and given respite until the day of judgment from further punishment. When Allah commanded all of the angels to bow down before Adam (the first Human), Iblis, full of hubris and jealousy jealousy,, refused refused to obey obey God's God's comm command and (he could could do so because he had free will), will), seeing Adam as being inferior in creation due to his being created from clay as compared to him (created of fire). It is We Who created you and gave you shape; then We bade the angels prostrate to Adam, and they prostrate; not so Iblis ; He refused to be of those who prostrate."
(Allah) said: "What "W hat prevented prevented thee from prostrating when I commanded thee?" He said: "I am better than he: Thou T hou didst create me from fire, and him from clay. Qur'an 7:11–12 It was after this that the title of "Shaitan "Shaitan" " was given, which can be roughly translated as "Enemy," "Rebel," "Evil" or "Devil". Shaitan then claims that that if the punishment punishment for his act of disobedience disobedience is to be delayed until the Day of Ju Judgment dgment,, that he will divert many of Adam's own descendants from the straight path during his period of respite.God accepts the claims of Iblis and guarantees recompense recompense to Iblis and his followers in the form of Hellfire. In order to test mankind and jinn alike, Allah allowed allowed Iblis to roam r oam the earth to attempt to convert convert others away from his path.He was was sent to earth ear th along with Adam and Eve, Eve, after eventually eventually luring them into eating the fruit from the forbidden tree.
Satan is the name for advesery of the right hand path God. Over the years many Adveserys have come and many have gone. Now you may argue that lucifer was an Advesery of the right hand path God. This is not true he or should I say she, was added Later when the christian bible was being written. Lucifer was actually a female deity for a very long period and then men bastardized bastard ized and raped her name name and Image changing changing her into a common common angel angel who was born born to to lose.
The original ADVESER ADVESERY Y OF God can be traced traced to Sumeria to the original Satan, and this Satan is responsible responsib le for giving us life and the tools to thrive as individuals. Theistic satanists recognize this being as our God our creator. Lavey satanists are an adversary of the christian god and Bullshit of the world and this is what mak makes es them Satan. A true Luciferian would be more so about enlightenment and they would not engage in Wars because it would be counter productive to their Faith. I do hope this article may have helped you understand Satan is not lucifer and if it did not then I can not help You. Y ou.
