Simply amazing. Today this is how the story goes.... there was once a perfect Angel named Lucifer. He rebelled and now we call him Satan the Adversary of God. Prepare to be suprised that the true Latin title of Lucifer rightfully belongs to Jesus Christ our Lord. * +

Firstly we have to note that the word 'Lucifer' first popped up in our bibles in the Latin Vulgate of St. Jerome. It translted 'the morning star' which is planet Venus. This title of 'morning star' is a denotion of a Glorious one and Jesus claims to be the 'lucifer' in Revelation 22:6 * +

To get into the etymology itself, the word 'Lucifer' is derived from the roots : Lux (light) and Ferre (to bring). Lucifer or Venus is therefore the 'light-bringer'. Its as stated earlier, a denotion of a glorious one. Lets get back to the first instance of this word, Isaiah 14:12 and see what it tells us about 'Lucifer'..... * +

Most Christians when they read Isaiah 14 they think they are reading the story of 'the rebellionof Satan', forgetting or overlooking the fact that Isaiah clearly states that it is 'The burden against the King of Babylon'. God told Isaiah to predict the downfall of this great and glorious monarch. He uses a lot of poetical style in doing so. The critical verse is verse 12... * +

''How thou art fallen from Heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How thou art cut down to the ground, thou which didst weaken the nations!'. This passage marks the 'peak' of Isaiah's prophecy against the Babylonian monarch. Earlier he had recounted how at first he was perfect but with pride began to swell up and started thinking he was God. * +

Why though is the King poetically called 'the morning star'? For one, Venus is the most glorious of celestial lights visible to the naked-eye. Babylon in its hay-day was the master of the world. God describes the King as the bright venus, falling down from heaven (the sky). In short, the glorious star has fallen! He weakened the nations through conquest but now he has fallen! * +

Apart from this rhetorical usage of the glorious one as applied to the King of babylon, the only other usage of the title of 'the morning star' or the light-bringer is, believe it or not, applied to Our Lord Jesus Christ. If you can access the vulgate online please follow the following passages. In all these, the Vulgate translated them as 'Lucifer' even though they are praise-titles of Jesus.... * +
