Lucifer or Phosphorus (the "Lightbearer"), in classical mythology, the name for the planet Venus as the morning star; the planet was personified as a youth, the son of the dawn goddess Eos, and the brother of Vesper, or Hesperus, the evening star. A verse in Isaiah 14:12 alludes to the King of Babylon as "Lucifer, son of the morning"; in the belief that this verse contained a reference to the fall of Satan from heaven, the fathers of the early CHRISTIAN church -- not Judaism -- attached the name Lucifer to Satan.

On this Isaiah verse in the Jewish bible: "This translation of the Bible does not use "Lucifer" at all, but rather, uses "O shining one, son of the dawn!" and further, footnotes it with "a character in some lost myth".

Judaism does not have a concept of a "devil" or fallen angel. Angels do not have free will, so they cannot choose to disobey God as humans can. The "Ha'satan" in hebrew is actually means "the adversary", and is used by God like a prosecuting attorney; e.g., you will see Ha'satan in the story of Job acting as Job's adversary. This "adversary" always works at God's discretion.

Jews are taught that everyone has both an inclination towards good - the Yetzer Hatov - and an inclination towards bad - the Yetzer Harah. Even when we are sorely tempted towards our 'evil inclination', we can choose to overcome it. No 'devil' can force us to do evil. We are totally responsible for both our wise choices and our not so wise choices.

Actually, there are a few verses that refer to Lucifer's fall from Heaven, to Earth, and ultimately Hell...

In the King James version of the Old Testament, there is only one reference to a being falling from heaven, and it is called Lucifer:

Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming…How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer…thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. (Isaiah 14:9-16 KJV)

And there was war in heaven…Satan was cast out (Revelation 12:7-9)

In the verse below, the Lukan author tells of Jesus associating a great light with the fall of Satan from heaven, as would be appropriate for a being whose other name means "light-bringer":



I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven (Luke 10:18)

Thus, the Lukan and Revelation authors describe a Satan which falls from heaven to hell, just as the Lucifer did in Isaiah, and furthermore the Satan they describe has the same light-giving property that the name Lucifer represents. Clearly, then authors either thought the two beings were one and the same, or at least that the Isaiah Lucifer prefigured the appearance of a Lucifer by another name, Satan.

Thus, the name Satan is just another name for the being called Lucifer in the King James Bible, and so it was Lucifer who was thrown from heaven in Revelation.

As for John Milton, No he wasn't in the bible, but he wrote Paradise Lost, originally a Ten book prose based in Biblical writings (later, it was translated into modern languages, into Twelve books).

the 1st reference is recent in Isaiah 14:12. "the way you're fallen from heaven, O Day celebrity, son of break of day! the way you're cut back right down to the floor, you who laid the international locations low!" a lot of human beings additionally see this as a connection with the Babylonian king, yet between the main usual interpretations is that of Lucifer. "O Day celebrity" is a literal translation from the Hebrew. the factor some lot of prophecy is that it is interpreted in a myriad of approaches. The references to Revelation are precise besides; even nonetheless, to declare that Isaiah is basically speaking approximately what occurred in Revelation is erroneous. Isaiah became into written in concerning to the seventh century B.C. on an identical time as Revelation became into written (via the apostle John on the island of Patmos) around ninety-ninety 5 A.D.

Yeah, none of that stuff is really in the bible. It's all folklore adapted from pagan mythology.
