Are Lucifer and Satan the same entity, and where did Lucifer ever get called a Morning Star?

Question

Christ called Himself the Morning Star, (end of Revelation). And Job talks about when the Morning Star(s) sang together. Lucifer is only called Son of the Morning, which could have been an earlier lifeform, but not necessarily one of the Morning Stars which were the First lifeforms.

Answer 1

Lucifer is a Satan, but not all Satan's are Lucifer.

Satan means "adversary", and can be applied to any fallen angel who attempts to tempt Man away from God. The Serpent in Eden was Samael, who was acting as a Satan, for instance.

"Satan" is a job title/description, rather than a name.

Answer 2

Lucifer: the light bearer.
Got the morning star appelation because the real "morning star", Venus, was seen by the ancients as the harbinger of the day, leading the way for the sun.

Originally one of the greatest of the angels, nearest to God in His love, Lucifer is said to have been shown God's plan for His creation, including us. At which point Lucifer said, in effect, "Shove over stupid and lemme show you how it oughta be done!". NOT the most intelligent response to an omnipotent deity.

Lucifer and those who thought like him, ie, that man was a very bad idea, tried to take over the throne in a palace coup. He lost and was cast down from heaven.

He became known as Satan, the adversary.

How much of this is fact, how much fairy tale is utterly unknown, but the empirical evidence certainly seems to suggest that there is someone out there with a grudge against humanity and a real willingness to do us a mischief. (See Paul, who had a pretty good idea of the nature of evil)

And intelligence or the lack thereof has little to do with your presence on Earth. You are here because God loves you to distraction, wanted you to be, created you and put you here in the nursery to start learning how to be the BEST you you can become. Not the richest person, not the smartest person, not the most famous person, but....the BEST YOU!

Answer 3

Shaitan, the root of the 'name' satan... means adversary... Lucifer means morning light... or just Light. These are similar symbols that are used for the Christ image... which occurs in various religious systems... a revelation that rebels against the tyrant. All Hail the Dawn!

Answer 4

"Lucifer is a Latin word meaning "light-bearer" (from lux, lucis, "light", and ferre, "to bear, bring"), a Roman astrological term for the "Morning Star", the planet Venus. The word Lucifer was the direct translation of the Greek eosphorus ("dawn-bearer"; cf. Greek phosphorus, "light-bearer") used by Jerome in the Vulgate, having mythologically the same meaning as Prometheus who brought fire to humanity. In that passage, Isaiah 14:12, it referred to one of the popular honorific titles of a Babylonian king; however, later interpretations of the text, and the influence of embellishments in works such as Dante's The Divine Comedy and Milton's Paradise Lost, led to the common idea in Christian mythology and folklore that Lucifer was a poetic appellation of Satan."
