Demystifying Lucifer
"How you are fallen from heaven, O Day
Star [Lucifer], son of Dawn! How you are
cut down to the ground, you who laid the
nations low!
[Isaiah 14:12]
2
Popular belief about Lucifer
 Many Christians believe that back
around the beginning of time, the devil
was once named Lucifer. Lucifer was
created by God, and was once a perfect
and beautiful cherub or angel. He was
created to serve and worship God, but
he was created with the ability to have
freedom of choice. Lucifer chose to
serve himself instead of God. His heart
became filled with pride because of his
beauty, and he became rebellious
(disobedient) against God. He believed
he could be like God the most High.
God then cast Lucifer out of heaven
because of his sin…and he then set
about tempting humanity to sin..

Close examination of Lucifer
 Lucifer is a Latin word
meaning “light-bearing”
 Most translations do
not use this word as it
is ‘Latin’
 The correct translation
is “Day Star”

Morning Star - Venus
 Venus reaches its
maximum brightness
shortly before sunrise or
shortly after sunset, for
which reason it is often
called the Morning Star
or the Evening Star.
5
Morning Star - Venus
 Venus is always brighter than
any star (apart from the Sun).
 The orbit of Venus is inside
the orbit of Earth
 Venus "overtakes" the Earth
every 584 days as it orbits
the Sun.
 As it does so, it changes from the
"Evening Star", visible after
sunset, to the "Morning Star",
visible before sunrise.
6
Evening Star
 The orbit of Venus is inside
the orbit of Earth.
 When Venus is on one side of
the Sun, it's trailing the Sun
in the sky and brightens into
view shortly after the Sun
sets, when the sky is dark
enough for it to be visible.
When Venus is at its
brightest, it becomes visible
just minutes after the Sun
goes down.
 This is when Venus is seen as
the Evening Star.
7
Morning Star – Announcing
the arrival of Light
 When Venus is on the other
side of the Sun, it leads the
Sun as it travels across the
sky.
 Venus will rise in the morning
a few hours before the Sun.
 Then as the Sun rises, the
sky brightens and Venus
fades away in the daytime
sky.
 This is Venus the Morning
Star.

nations, and furious against
all their host; he has devoted

their corpses shall rise; the

LORD of hosts: Because you have not
obeyed my words,
 behold, I will send for all the tribes of
the north, declares the LORD, and for
Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon,
my servant, and I will bring them
against this land and its inhabitants,
and against all these surrounding
nations. I will devote them to
destruction, and make them a horror,
a hissing, and an everlasting
desolation.

a golden cup in the
LORD's hand,
making all the earth
drunken; the nations
drank of her wine;
therefore the nations
went mad.
 Jer 51:20 "You are
my hammer and
weapon of war: with
you I break nations
in pieces; with you I
destroy kingdoms;

heart it was their OWN doing!
30
The role of Babylon in God’s plan –
“God rules in the kingdom of men”
 Dan 5:21 He was driven from
among the children of mankind, and
his mind was made like that of a beast,

seventy years are
completed, I will
punish the king of

the land of the
Chaldeans, for their
iniquity, declares the

31
The role of Babylon in God’s plan –
“God rules in the kingdom of men”
 God used Babylon as his
disciplinary rod.
 He destroyed many nations
and God’s temple – but God
allowed this
 To discipline his chosen people
 To judge the wicked and proud
nations
 God “allowed” it to happen and
eventually Babylon was also
judged for his wickedness
 Jer 51:11 "Sharpen the arrows! Take
up the shields! The LORD has stirred
up the spirit of the kings of the
Medes, because his purpose
concerning Babylon is to destroy it,
for that is the vengeance of the
LORD, the vengeance for his
temple.

him. I will deliver them into the hand
of those who seek their life, into the
hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of
Babylon and his officers.

Babylon represeted
by their KING
 NOT
 An angel crashing on
Earth

even occur in the bible
 This study tried to show
popular teachings of
Lucifer is a MYTH!
 Translation of ‫ֵה‬‫י‬‫ֵל‬‫ל‬ as "Lucifer", as in
the King James Version, has been
abandoned in modern English
translations of Isaiah 14:12.
Present-day translations have
"morning star" (New International
Version, New Century Version, New
American Standard Bible, Good
News Translation, Holman Christian
Standard Bible, Contemporary
English Version, Common English
Bible, Complete Jewish Bible),
"daystar" (New Jerusalem Bible,
English Standard Version, The
Message), "shining one" (New Life
Version) or "shining star" (New
Living Translation).
33
Summary
 FALL OF Lucifer or daystar is
just a figure of speech for FALL
of the king of babylon
 Isa 14:22 "I will rise up against
them," declares the LORD of hosts,
"and will cut off from Babylon
name and remnant, descendants
and posterity," says the LORD.
 Babylon was referred to as the golden city,
so appropriately it was represented by the
head of gold in the image. Babylon ruled
the world from 606 - 538 B.C.
Nebuchadnezzar had planned that his
kingdom would last forever, but God gave
this dream to show this would not be so.
Babylon would dominate only the early
portion of human affairs.

Is king of Tyre Lucifer?
Eze 28:14 You were an anointed
guardian cherub. I placed you; you
were on the holy mountain of God;
in the midst of the stones of fire
you walked.
35
Understanding bible language
 Context
 Eze 28:12 "Son of man, raise a lamentation
over the king of Tyre, and say to him, Thus
says the Lord
 Eze 28:13 You were in Eden, the
garden of God;
 How could the king of Tyre be in the
garden of Eden?
36
Understanding bible language
– “Eden”
 Eze 31:3 Behold,
Assyria was a cedar
in Lebanon, with
beautiful branches
and forest shade,
and of towering
height, its top
among the clouds.
 Eze 31:8 The cedars in
the garden of God could
not rival it, nor the fir
trees equal its boughs;
neither were the plane
trees like its branches;
no tree in the garden
of God was its equal in
beauty.
 Eze 31:9 I made it
beautiful in the mass of
its branches, and all the
trees of Eden envied it,
that were in the garden
of God.
How can the trees in the garden of Eden “envy”
a cedar in Lebanon?
37
Understanding bible language
– ‘trees of Eden envied it’
 Eze 31:8 The cedars
in the garden of God
could not rival it,
 The greatest kings in
the whole world could
not rival Assyria at the
time
 Assyria was the
greatest kingdom
 Even the kingdom of
God (“Judah/Israel”)
had no power like
Assyria
 Eze 31:8 nor the fir
trees equal its
boughs;
 Lesser kings and
princes are
comparable to fir
trees
38
Understanding bible language
– ‘Eden’
 Eden does not mean the
literal paradise of God in
which Adam and Eve lived
 Eden in Ezekiel’s
prophecies is used to
“symbolize” a perfect place
or kingdom on earth
 Also from the prophecy
writings it is clear that
even the most perfect and
beautiful places “Eden” on
earth will end
 Eze 31:18 "Whom are you
thus like in glory and in
greatness among the trees
of Eden? You shall be
brought down with the
trees of Eden to the
world below. You shall lie
among the uncircumcised,
with those who are slain by
the sword. "This is
Pharaoh and all his
multitude, declares the
Lord GOD."
39
Prince of Tyre v/s
Nebuchadnezzar
 Eze 28:2 "Son of man,
say to the prince of Tyre,
Thus says the Lord
GOD: "Because your
heart is proud, and you
have said, 'I am a god, I
sit in the seat of the
gods, in the heart of the
seas,' yet you are but a
man, and no god,
though you make your
heart like the heart of a
god--
 Dan 3:5 that when you
hear the sound of the
horn, pipe, lyre, trigon,
harp, bagpipe, and
every kind of music, you
are to fall down and
worship the golden
image that King
Nebuchadnezzar has set
up.
40
Guardian cherub
 Eze 28:14 You were
the anointed cherub
that covers.
 The prince of Tyre is
being “compared” to a
cherub
 “and I had put you”
 God appoints and rules
 Dan 5:21 the Most High
God rules the kingdom
of mankind and sets
over it whom he will.
 “Anointed” “that covers”
 In allusion to the “glory
of the cherubim” over
the mercy seat
 Eze 28:4 With your
wisdom and with your
understanding
 Eze 28:5 By your great
wisdom and by your
trade you have
multiplied your riches,
 God claims he chose the
King of Tyre to prosper
and endowed him with
wisdom
Who trades?
Fallen angel or Tyre
What Riches?
41
Perfect in your ways
 Eze 28:15 You were
perfect in your way.
 Implying that he was a
PERFECT king
 “until iniquity was
found in you”
 His wealth was his
downfall that led to
violence and pride
 Eze 28:5 your heart is lifted
up because of your riches.
 His iniquity like that of
Belshazzar who did not
acknowledge God for his
great position
 He like many of us think our
action are responsible for
our great wealth
 Eze 28:6 Therefore thus
saith the Lord GOD;
Because thou hast set thine
heart as the heart of God;
42
How could Tyre have known
about the God of Israel?
 King David and
Solomon had positive
influence on the kings
of Tyre
 Hiram, king of Tyre was
very influential in
building God’s temple
 2Ch 2:5 And the house
which I build is great:
for great is our God
above all gods.
 1Ki_5:1-11; 1Ki_9:10-11;
2Ch_2:3-16
 And Solomon sent to Huram the
king of Tyre, saying, As thou
didst deal with David my father,
and didst send him cedars to
build him an house to dwell
therein, even so deal with me.
Behold, I build an house to the
name of the LORD my God, to
dedicate it to him, and to burn
before him sweet incense, and
for the continual shewbread,
and for the burnt offerings
morning and evening, on the
sabbaths, and on the new
moons, and on the solemn
feasts of the LORD our God.
This is an ordinance for ever to
Israel. [2 Chronicles 2:3-4]
43
Tyre had a relationship /
covenant with Israel?
 Amo 1:9 The LORD said: I
will punish Phoenicia for
countless crimes, and I
won't change my mind. They
broke their treaty and
dragged off my people from
town after town to sell them
as slaves to the Edomites.
 2Ch 2:12 Hiram also said,
"Blessed be the LORD God of
Israel, who made heaven
and earth, who has given
King David a wise son, who
has discretion and
understanding, who will
build a temple for the LORD
and a royal palace for himself.
 Tyre was a ally of Israel
since David’s time
 They were to be a guardian
to Israel and God allowed
them to prosper.
 Once they became rich they
had no respect for the true
God of Israel and declared
themselves as God and did
wicked things
 The friendly relations between Tyre
and Israel (Solomon supplying grain
and oil in return for Hiram's timber,
metals, and workmen) were again
renewed when Ahab married the
Sidonian king Ethbaal's (or Ithobal
king of Tyre, according to Menander,
in Josephus Ant. 8:13, section 2)
daughter.
Exam
ple
ofIniquity
44
“until iniquity was found in
you”
 Eze 28:16 By the
multitude of your goods
they have filled your
midst with violence,
and you have sinned.
 “multitude of your
goods ”, “violence” all
refer to a literal king
and not a mystical
“Lucifer/Venus”.
 Joe 3:4 You people of Tyre
and Sidon and you Philistines,
why are you doing this? Are you
trying to get even with me? I'll
strike back before you know
what's happened.
 Joe 3:5 You've taken my prized
possessions, including my silver
and gold, and carried them off
to your temples.
 Joe 3:6 You have dragged the
people of Judah and Jerusalem
from their land and sold them
to the Greeks.
Examples
of Iniquity
45
“Lucifer” in “trade” before the
creation of Adam?
 Eze 28:18 By the host
of your iniquities, by the
iniquity of your trade,
you have profaned your
holy places;
 Eze 28:5 by your great
wisdom in your trade
you have increased your
wealth,
 The commerce of the whole
world was gathered into the
warehouses of Tyre. “Tyrian
merchants were the first who
ventured to navigate the
Mediterranean waters; and
they founded their colonies
on the coasts and
neighbouring islands of the
Aegean Sea, in Greece, on
the northern coast of Africa,
at Carthage and other places,
in Sicily and Corsica, in
Spain at Tartessus, and even
beyond the pillars of
Hercules at Gadeira
46
The fate of Lucifer
 Popular beliefs have it that
Lucifer was cast onto the
earth (punished) to torment
man (seems like a reward!)
 But in v18 we are told that
he was “destroyed” by fire
and turned to “ashes”
 So if you 'believe' in a Mr.
Lucifer he was burned to
ashes and does no longer
exist "in the sight of all"
 Eze 28:18 By the
multitude of your
iniquities, in the
unrighteousness of your
trade you profaned your
sanctuaries; so I
brought fire out from
your midst; it consumed
you, and I turned you to
ashes on the earth in
the sight of all who saw
you.
47
The fate of Tyre
 Alexander of Macedonia
occupies Damascus and,
after a siege lasting seven
months, destroys Tyre
during which there is great
carnage and the sale of the
women and children into
slavery.
 Alexander ordered all but
those who had fled to the
temples to be put to death
and the buildings to be set
on fire.
 Eze 28:18 By the multitude of
your iniquities, in the
unrighteousness of your trade
you profaned your sanctuaries;
so I brought fire out from your
midst; it consumed you, and I
turned you to ashes on the earth
in the sight of all who saw you.
 Amo 1:10 So I will send a fire
upon the wall of Tyre, and it
shall devour her strongholds."
 Joe 3:8 I will sell your sons and
your daughters into the hand of
the people of Judah, and they
will sell them to the Sabeans, to
a nation far away, for the LORD
has spoken."

Language
on of man, take up a lament concerning the king of
Tyre and say to him:
Through your widespread trade
you were filled with violence,
and you sinned.
So I drove you in disgrace from the mount of God,
and I expelled you, guardian cherub,
from among the fiery stones.
Your heart became proud
on account of your beauty,
and you corrupted your wisdom
because of your splendor.
So I threw you to the earth;
I made a spectacle of you before kings.

Demystifying Lucifer

  • 1. 1 Demystifying Lucifer "How you are fallen from heaven, O Day Star [Lucifer], son of Dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, you who laid the nations low! [Isaiah 14:12]
  • 2. 2 Popular belief about Lucifer  Many Christians believe that back around the beginning of time, the devil was once named Lucifer. Lucifer was created by God, and was once a perfect and beautiful cherub or angel. He was created to serve and worship God, but he was created with the ability to have freedom of choice. Lucifer chose to serve himself instead of God. His heart became filled with pride because of his beauty, and he became rebellious (disobedient) against God. He believed he could be like God the most High. God then cast Lucifer out of heaven because of his sin…and he then set about tempting humanity to sin..
