I asked this once, and I think it is a good question...still looking for more answers.

Who is the morning star Jesus or Lucifer?
In Isaiah 14:12 Lucifer is called the son of the morning and lucier means (according to Strong's Concordance) 1966 heylel hay-lale' from 1984 (in the sense of brightness); the morning-star:--lucifer.

But Jesus is referred to as both the day star and morning star.
2Pet.1
[19] We 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:

Rev.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 and morning star.

What a contradiction.... right or wrong?

The term "morning star" comes from the idea that it is a star that is SO bright that it can still be seen in the morning (even with the sun's light coming out).

So that term could refer to anyone.

Job 38: 7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

In this verse it uses starS (plural) which shows it doesn't have to be just 1 being that is capable of that.

JOSH G you need to get your facts straight. You're totally thrown off. Re-read your Bible please before you confuse people!! And if you really believe that, I will pray for you! As for the question: Lucifer was referred to as the Son of the Morning or "Light Bringer". Don't forget he was an angel at a time. However after his expulsion from Heaven he lost his titles and just became satan, or the devil or princess of darkness or the beast. Jesus Christ is the Bright and Morning Star...he is our salvation.

Lucifer is translated to Day Star. Lucifer is not Satan. The word Lucifer was used for the King of Babylon.

Lucifer is the Latin for morning star. Lucifer was an archangel(as many say, God's favourite and most beautiful) we musn't forget, he was cast out of heaven for loving God more than humanity. It was God's will for all his angels to bow before his most beloved creation, it was Lucifer's folley, for he refused God's will. While he was an archangel he was 'assigned' Venus, the morning star. Christian text have taken the Latin translation, lucifer. He has many names and many forms.

At one time Lucifer did exist as "son of the morning". Due to the sin of Lucifer against God (Pride); God cast him down from heaven, displacing the once high and honored position Lucifer previously held. Lucifer has continued on in his quest to be like God, as Satan. Lucifer no longer exists Lucifer was renamed Satan prior to being cast out of heaven. This is why there is no contradiction. Jesus said, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven." Read: Luke 10:17-20.

Not a contradiction, although I think it's lost in translation.

Isaiah 14:12

Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

"12 How hast thou fallen from the heavens, O shining one, son of the dawn! Thou hast been cut down to earth, O weakener of nations."

This is a verse Mocking the King of Babylon, and Babylon itself.



The noun "lucifer" translates "Morning Star," or "The Planet Venus", and even a verb meaning "Light Bringing" but not "Satan" - "Accuser" or Adversary"... It is a Latin word used in that verse in the Latin Vulgate, and then later the KJV, and also to describe the planet Venus in Latin, but was not necessarily the name used for Satan until long after the 1st century Christians who wrote the remainder of the Bible.

Therefore it is safe to say that the verse in Isaiah 14:12 (Shining One, Day Star) is most likely not referring to the same person as 2 Peter 1:19 (Literal grk. "Light Bearer") and Revelation 22:16 (Literal grk. "The Bright Star of the Morning"), but the Babylonian King/Babylon itself in the then future - This is why it is dangerous to just read one Bible verse, but rather the whole chapter, or at least the whole passage to get the whole meaning before making assumptions.

It is also important to Note that the New Testament is written in Greek, the Old in Hebrew and in places Aramaic (a few chapters in Ezra, & Daniel, and a sentence in Jeremiah). Therefore No place in the original language did the word Lucifer come up (a Latin Vulgate Word) yet the word Satan (Accuser, Adversary) was used many times when referring to the actual fallen angel, Satan.

It is also important to note that Isaiah 14:12 is a mocking verse directed to the person it refers to, and may very well be making a comparison to Who he thought he was, ie. the "Shining One", ie, the Messiah.

Therefore it is also safe to assume that the Bible nowhere intends to say that Jesus Christ the Messiah is the same person as Satan the Fallen Angel. Nor does it actually intend to refer to Satan when mocking the fallen king of Babylon, however the translators may have felt there was a comparison in the text. However the Bible Never Mocks Heavenly Beings.

Thus the word Lucifer is not the original Hebrew, Aramaic, or Greek name for Satan, but actually "Satan" itself is. The verse in Isaiah 14:12 refers to Babylon and NOT to Satan (and "Lucifer" is the Latin word for "Morning Star", not "Satan" - "The Accuser" or "Adversary"), yet the two have been closely related throughout History. However the Bible does suggest the the Greek word for "Light Bearer" (2 Peter 1:19) is a reference to Christ Jesus after his resurrection and consequential ascension.

Thus it is safe to say that Jesus Christ is the Morning Star, the Light Bearer, and the Messiah who came to visit us before his eternal Reign begins in the near future, and that verse was a mockery of the Babylonian King who thought he was the "Great Shining One" but is now just dust and a memory.


To clarify more about who Jesus Christ is, I would suggest reading Colossians 1:11-29

The morning star was Satan but his name is Satan the Devil and not Lucifer. And there was people looking for Jesus when he was a baby but they didn't find Jesus until he was a toddler. And they didn't know that he was the messiah.
