The Great Deception: The True Lucifer

WARNING this will be a controversial article. Before you dismiss it as blasphemous or garbage; do as Proverbs 18:13 says. Hear the matter out before you respond.

When we read Isaiah 14:12, which says in: How art thou fallen from heaven O Lucifer, son of the morning!…. We always think of Satan. This is true in part.  The fact is there is more than one Lucifer. The word Lucifer is a Latin word which means light bearer or bearer of the light. The actual word Lucifer only appears in scripture one time in this latin form. The Hebrew word for Lucifer is H1966 hay-lale, which also means light bearer. It also means shining one, morning star, and Lucifer; Lucifer can also mean Day Star. Notice I have italicized morning star. These two words are essential for knowing what and who a Lucifer is and is not. Basically Lucifer is a transliteration of the Hebrew word Hay-lale which means morning star.

  

Let’s see where else we see these two words morning star in scripture. Yep you guessed it in the book of Job!!! Job 38:7 says: When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? The word God in sons of God is the Hebrew word H4300 elohiym, which means rulers, judges, angels, gods, and divine ones.  When the word elohiym is used it can be a man, an angel, or Almighty God it depends on the context of the scripture. In this particular instance it can’t be man because God is asking Job where was he when he made the foundations of the world. It is not God Himself. The only entity it could be is angelic host. So the morning stars and sons of God are indeed angels.

To get a little more in depth let’s take a look at Job 1: 6-7 which says:  Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them. ⁷And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. Notice the sons of God here in this scripture it refers to angels in this passage which was also mentioned in Job 38:7. Satan is no longer in the same class with them. In Job 38:7 the morning stars are called sons of God.

Again Isaiah 14:12 is the only place Satan is called a Lucifer or a morning star although Ezekiel 28: 12-19 is speaking of the same events concerning Satan. When Satan was a Lucifer he was in his anointed state. Ezekiel 28 called him an anointed cherub, which is a class of angel.  Every other place in the bible Satan is called various names: adversary, deceiver, dragon, serpent, thief, ruler of this world, etc. Nowhere else is he called a light bearer, shining one, morning star, or Lucifer. The ONLY PLACES were Satan is mentioned in his anointed state is in Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28!!!

This may be a shock to many people’s belief system. We have to be like the Bereans who searched the scriptures daily. Study like 2 Timothy 2:15 says. Let’s go even further on this topic. Who is the true Lucifer or in other words  the true light bearer?  He is none other than the Messiah Jesus Christ. We will see that Jesus Himself said He is the true Lucifer or morning star.

In Malachi Chapter 4:2 Jesus is referred to as the Sun of Righteousness. Yes the SUN! We saw earlier that Lucifer can mean Day Star.  The star that rules the day is the Sun. Is this the literal sun, no. It is symbolic of Jesus being The Light. When everything is restored Jesus will be the source of light as Revelation 21:23 and 22:5 indicates.

Let’s take a look at John 1:1-5, which says: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ²The same was in the beginning with God. ³All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. ⁴In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

⁵And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. We all agree the Word is Jesus.  Jesus was with God and was God in the beginning he created everything and He created everything. Our very life was in Him and He is the Light. He lights our spirits. John 1:6 says: ⁵And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. Jesus Christ shines in darkness. The darkness is the evil in this world. Ephesians 6:12 says¹²For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Jesus Christ shines in this darkness. The darkness or the “devil” and his kingdom does not comprehend Christ. Satan and his kingdom are master deceivers and they have fooled the masses into thinking Satan is the true Lucifer.

So we have established that Jesus Christ is light and the light of men. We are told in 2 Peter 1:19 to let the day star in the KJV or morning star in the NKJV rise in our heart.  The words day star in greek is G5459 or phosphoros which means: light bringing, giving light, the planet Venus, the morning star. This is speaking of Christ who shines in a dark place, which is this world, and in men who are saved but were once in darkness. Jesus said He is the light of the world in John 8:12. ¹²Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

Right before Jesus died the world or Jerusalem went dark for three hours. Mark 15:33 says: And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. In my opinion this darkness happened because the Light of the world Jesus was about to die. Satan is not the light!!! He can only be light for instances as 2 Corinthians 11:14 says: And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. He is an imposter brothers and sisters.

Now the final nails in the coffin are Jesus saying He would give us a Lucifer or Morning star and He also called himself a Lucifer or morning star. Revelation 2:26-28 says: And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: ²⁷And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. ²⁸And I will give him the morning star. Now is He going to give us Satan? No, He is going to give us His light and allow us to be light bearers.  Lastly, Revelation 22:16 says: I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.

 Case closed!!! Satan is no longer a Lucifer.  Jesus Christ is THE LUCIFER or THE BRIGHT and MORNING STAR.
