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!
The name Lucifer only appears once in the Bible.(KJV) In this verse Isaiah was referring to Satan before his fallen state. The rest of Scripture refers the him as "Satan", "prince of the air", "god of this world", "the adversary", etc...

The King James and the New King James has the name Lucifer appear one time in Isaiah 14:12 NKJV
[ The Fall of Lucifer ] “ How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, You who weakened the nations!
The NIV and others do not have this.
Lucifer is a Latin word for "light-bearer." This is a direct translation of the Greek heosphoros, "dawn-bearer" or the Hebrew Helel, "Bright one" In essence, Lucifer is the son of the morning star who fell, or rather He is the fallen angel. The most prominent angel that fell is Satan which is a Hebrew word for adversary, meaning This Lucifer Satan which has many names is the Anti-Christ, the adversary of Christ.

NONE! The name Lucifer does not appear in the Bible. The bright morning star was a description for the wicked kings of Babylon who are no different in wickedness as some rulers of today. The name Satan does appear and it means accuser, featured prominently in the book of Job. Other names have been assigned to the mind of evil, like Destroyer that comes from Greek Apollyon which is a god of locust or one who has power to unleash plagues and therefore destroy populations. Using the name Lucifer as if it appears in the bible is sheer ignorance! Satan became a figure of interest in Christianity but let s not forget that early Christianity became mainstream after Constantine saw that it could be used for political gains; shortly after this the Pope system was established which was a derivative of the system of the Caesars in Rome. Along with this came the names used by the Greeks which were conquered by the Romans and took all their gods with them. In those times using figures such as serpent, dragon, beast, etc was just a way to try to describe a destructive force that is FEAR! Again, the name Lucifer does not appear in the Bible! There is no name for evil except to describe the force and vibration behind it, and any person therefore is either living in love, like Christ or fear, which is the force that can be described as "evil" because it seeks to steal, kill and destroy! Jesus says love one another as I have loved you. This casts away fear!! This defeats the "evil" one! Be vigilant, and be not ignorant! Most churches of today profit from the ignorant! Develop a spiritual life and connect in your heart with the person of Jesus Christ if you want to know love! He won t let you down!

Lucifer is not a proper name and the scripture (Isaiah 14:12) refers to a king of Tyre (Babylon) not Satan. Because of the reference to falling from heaven many have taken it to mean Satan. Read it before you disagree. Lucifer is actually a Latin translation of the Greek word phosphorus, which is translated from the Hebrew heylel. Please excuse me if I ve spelled these terms incorrectly. I ve seen different spellings for both the Greek and Hebrew.

Once ... Isaiah 14:12 and Lucifer is used only in SOME translations. In others it is translated shining one or something along those lines.

Once. The Authorized KJV Bible, 1599 Geneva Bible and... the Orthodox Jewish Bible. These are the oldest Holy Bibles. NIV and others are newer by comparison. http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah%2014:12&version=OJB

He is named just once, in Isaiah 14:12, the name taken from the Latin Vulgate rendering of the word in that verse. He is then described in the following verses. He is however described in considerable detail in Ezekiel 28 11-19.
