Is Jesus Christ the TRUE Lucifer?
This is a copy of a hub that seems to have been removed from hubpages, written by Sanctus Vesania, titled: Jesus Christ IS the TRUE lucifer (morning star, light bringer). The author presents some interesting facts that Christians and Non-Christians alike can appreciate.
Origins of the word Lucifer
Note: This hub will hopefully explain not only how Jesus is the true lucifer (lower case to refer not to a proper name), but also how the ‘Lucifer’ mentioned in Isaiah is nothing more than a fraud who did not, does not, and will never truly deserve that title.
Before we begin let us figure out Lucifer means. In Latin Lucifer means “Light Bringer” and is the name of the Morning Star. The word Lucifer appears only once in the Bible and only in the KJV. Isaiah 14:12: “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!”
But did the word Lucifer always exist? NO! In the Hebrew language, the word Lucifer is derived from the Hebrew word הילל (Hêlēl). In fact, the term Lucifer didn’t even exist in the Biblical ages! Put thought to it; Lucifer is a Latin word. (Lux = light/fire Ferre = to bear/to bring). The Old Testament was written primarily in Hebrew, so the word Lucifer could not have been in their language. So, then if the word were not amongst them at that time, then who gave us that word?
In 382 AD, Pope Damasus I commissioned St. Jerome to write a revision of the old Latin translation of the Bible. This task was completed sometime during the 5thcentury AD, and eventually it was considered the official and definite Latin version of the Bible according to the Roman Catholic church. By the 13th century it was considered the versio vulgate – the common translation.
It was St. Jerome who placed the word Lucifer into the Bible, and not just once, but three times! Isaiah 14:12, Job 11:17, and 2 Peter 1:19.
Isaiah 14:12 according to the Vulgate translation – Et habemus firmiorem propheticum sermonem : cui benefacitis attendentes quasi lucernæ lucenti in caliginoso donec dies elucescat, et lucifer oriatur in cordibus vestries
Job 11:17 – Et quasi meridianus fulgor consurget tibi ad vesperam; et cum te consumptum putaveris, orieris ut lucifer.
2 Peter 1:19 – Et habemus firmiorem propheticum sermonem : cui benefacitis attendentes quasi lucernæ lucenti in caliginoso donec dies elucescat, et (lucifer) oriatur in cordibus vestries
Here are these same verses in the KJV.
Isaiah 14:12 – 12How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
Job 11:17 – 17And thine age shall be clearer than the noonday: thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning.
2 Peter 1:19 – 19We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
And the same verses in the NIV
Isaiah 14:12 – 12 How you have fallen from heaven,
O morning star, son of the dawn!
You have been cast down to the earth,
you who once laid low the nations!
Job 11:17 – 17 Life will be brighter than noonday,
and darkness will become like morning.
2 Peter 1:19 – 19And we have the word of the prophets made more certain, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
Note that the term ‘morning star’ is used throughout the New Testament and is in reference to Jesus the Christ. Keep this in mind.
The Hebrew translation had the word helel in the place of Lucifer, or rather St. Jerome replaced the word helel with Lucifer. What does helel mean? It means ‘shining one’.
‘How art fallen from Heaven, O Shining One son of the dawn.’
‘…until the day dawns and the Shining One rises in your hearts.’
And what then of the Greek translation? Helel in Greek translates into Eosphorus/Phosphorus. And in this translation the word means ‘light bearer’
‘How art fallen from Heaven, O Light Bearer, son of the dawn.’
‘…until the day dawns and the Light Bearer rises in your hearts.’
Jesus the Morning Star the Lucifer
Now we have also noticed that only one commonly accepted translation of the Bible keeps the word Lucifer and that is the King James Version.
Even then it appears only once, and is given to a fallen being. But in reality, Jesus Christ is the true Lucifer. Remember, Morning Star, Shining One, Light Bearer. All of these terms were used by Jesus himself and his disciples.
Revelation 22:16 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 andmorning star.
2 Peter 1:19 19And we have the word of the prophets made more certain, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
Ha! Then how do we explain the word Lucifer being used in Isaiah? Who is Satan? He is a being trying usurp God. Who is the Lucifer in Isaiah? If Jesus Christ is the true Lucifer, then the fallen Lucifer must be a counterfeit. If Jesus is the Christ/the Messiah, then the fallen Lucifer must be the anti-Christ/the false Messiah.
Final note: Even in numerology and Gematria the value of the names Lucifer and Jesus are the exact same.
74 and 74 (1)
222 and 222 (3)
444 and 444 (6)
And the value of Morning Star is the value of Lucifer and Jesus combined.
