The name "lucifer" in not in the bible.......where did it come from?

Answer 1

The statement that is sometimes made that one of the names given to Satan the Devil is Lucifer. Reference may be made by some to Isaiah 14:12-16. According to the Authorized Version (King James), verse twelve says: “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 word “Lucifer” is a translation of the Hebrew word heh·lel´, “shining one.” Heh·lel´, as here used, is not a personal name or a title, but, rather, a term describing the brilliant position taken by Babylon’s dynasty of kings in the line of Nebuchadnezzar. It would not be correct to say that Satan the Devil is the one here called Lucifer as though it were one of his names. The expression here refers primarily to the king of Babylon, for, according to verse four, this is a “proverbial saying against the king of Babylon.” Also, verses fifteen and sixteen of this chapter fourteen say that this “shining one” (Lucifer) is to be brought down to Sheol, which is mankind’s common grave, not an abiding place for Satan the Devil. Furthermore, the fact is that those seeing this “shining one” brought into this condition say: “Is this the man that was agitating the earth, that was making kingdoms rock?” Satan is not a man but an invisible spirit creature. Thus, while the king of Babylon reflected the attitude of his father, the Devil, still the word Lucifer was not a name given to Satan the Devil.

In the Authorized Version and many other versions, the “king of Babylon” is named “Lucifer” at Isaiah 14:12 and is generally understood to refer to Satan the Devil. Taking such a view, this means that Satan, instead of ruling over hell and keeping its fires burning, is rejected and debased even in his own domain. No wonder that Christendom’s commentators do not heavily rely on this prophecy for support for their eternal torment doctrine.

the Hebrew word heilel´, translated “shining one.” It also means “brightness” and, according to some Hebrew-English Lexicons, the entire expression “shining one, son of the dawn” means “morning star,” which was the brightest star in the heavens. The English Authorized Version uses the name Lucifer, as does also the Roman Catholic Douay Version of the Bible. Both were following the Latin Vulgate translation, which uses Lucifer, meaning “Light Bearer.” Lucifer, however, is not the name of the king of Babylon. Lucifer, as a name, was applied to Satan the Devil by early uninspired religious writers of our Common Era. Notice that the Latin Vulgate uses the word lucifer again, in 2 Peter 1:19, and there applies it, not to Satan the Devil, but to the “day star” that was to arise for Christian hearts. So this term heilel´, or lucifer, applies to Satan the Devil only as the earthly king of Babylon symbolizes that wicked spirit or reflects him. Of course, Satan the Devil was Babylon’s real god and invisible king, as well as being ruler over modern-day Babylon the Great.

The first application of Isaiah 14:12-14, then, is to the human king of Babylon. That is why certain expressions, such as Sheol, are used in it. Satan the Devil was never in Sheol, hell, the grave, and never will be in it, for he is a spirit in the invisible heavens, whereas Sheol, hell, the grave is in the earth. It is where the visible, material, human dead are laid. Even Jesus Christ, after dying, was in Sheol, hell or the grave for parts of three days, as the apostle Peter himself said.—Acts 2:27-32; Ps. 16:10.

Answer 2

Lucifer is not a Biblical name. It is a Latin translation of a minor Greek god -- Heosphoros, the "Morning Star," who heralded the coming of the Dawn -- hence the name "Light Bringer" or "Dawn Bringer." (The "Morning Star" is basically the planet Venus, when it is in the position in its orbit where it rises just before sunrise. Otherwise, it is the "Evening Star," when it sets just after sunset.) Now, in the Hebrew Bible, the name is Helel ben Shahar, (Morning Star, son of the Dawn) who was the Babylonian god of the Morning Star. Now, the Hebrews, being fierce Monotheists, were great demonizers of any god that wasn't theirs, especially the gods of the Babylonians. So the passage that is credited with mentioning Lucifer, Isaiah 14:12-14, is really about the fall of Babylon, the King of Babylon, and all the gods of Babylon, because the ancient Hebrews believed that their God was better than anyone else's. When the Hebrew scriptures were translated into the Latin Vulgate, the Latin name "Lucifer" was added in place of Helel Shahar, and yet another perfectly innocent Pagan god was demonized. Thus, the otherwise honorable Grecco-Roman God Lucifer became forever synonymous with the Christian Devil. This translators error was continued in the King James version, and in many other translations.

Rest assured Lucifer is not the Christian Devil, but rather a solar Pagan deity.

Read in Isaiah in the Old Authorized King James Version. Most other Bibles were taken from different manuscripts, stick with the kjv, he took the best Bible Scholars of his time put them all together and said translate the Holy Bible into English from Greek and Hebrew, it took about 10 years, the KJV is the most trusted version by our older generation of Preachers today. The rest of the versions are for the love of money, there was only one way to get people to start buying the a Bible more often, make another version. Think about. In 1st Timothy 6:10 it says For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. Thanks for your great question!!!
