"Lucifer" doesn't appear in the Old Testament, it was an invention of the Romans. The original OT entity (which was a personification of the planet Venus, the "light-bearer"), was an earthly king who would turn bad. The Christians re-interpreted this to make him "Satan" because they needed it to support their theology.

No. The Lucifer story is a spiritualized interpretation of the planet Venus' radical change in orbit as seen in our horizon. It is said that it used to have as its orbit a higher more prominent plane but was plunged to its present location as a result of some interplanetary disturbance in the past. As to the corona thing, it is not associated with anyone in particular. The corona(crown) or halo is placed by sculptors on religious statues as an indication of their holiness.

well i read somewhere that Lucifer meant evening star, and u know how lucifer is the devil and he fell from heaven and all?? Well the evening star is the last star that shows up, and Lucifer is like that too. He tries to detest and resist God, going aganst him and all. But the Sun always overpowers all the stars, just like Jesus will overpower Lucifer!! I thought it was a neat thing to think about

No. Lucifer is the planet Venus - the Brightest object in the night sky (other than the moon) yet it never gets higher than a few degrees above the horizon and then it "falls" back down to earth.
Peace to you.

I think... That sounds like a bit of Greek Mythology, that falling sun part... Wasn't there a story where the sun god scraped parts of Asia that are now what we call the Middle East?

Since ancient times, "light bearer" has referred to the "morning star" which is a planet. Since none of the possible persons called that were planets, it must be understood as figurative...

Hi Ré Z£ÃÃÃ
¢h ⢠! Yes Christ is the Light of our Salvation. Satan transforms himself into an angel of light, but Satan bring a gospel of lies and a false gospel. God explains this in 2 Corinthians 11:13-14:
"For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 14And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light."
Satan is working in churches around the world to deceive people into believing his lies.God warns us about Satan in 1 Peter 5:8:
"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour."

*** w02 9/15 p. 30 Questions From Readers ***
The name Lucifer occurs once in the Scriptures and only in some versions of the Bible. For example, the King James Version renders Isaiah 14:12: “How art thou fallen from heaven, OÂ Lucifer, son of the morning!”
The Hebrew word translated “Lucifer” means “shining one.” The Septuagint uses the Greek word that means “bringer of dawn.” Hence, some translations render the original Hebrew “morning star” or “Daystar.” But Jerome’s Latin Vulgate uses “Lucifer” (light bearer), and this accounts for the appearance of that term in various versions of the Bible.
Who is this Lucifer? The expression “shining one,” or “Lucifer,” is found in what Isaiah prophetically commanded the Israelites to pronounce as a “proverbial saying against the king of Babylon.” Thus, it is part of a saying primarily directed at the Babylonian dynasty. That the description “shining one” is given to a man and not to a spirit creature is further seen by the statement: “Down to Sheol you will be brought.” Sheol is the common grave of mankind—not a place occupied by Satan the Devil. Moreover, those seeing Lucifer brought into this condition ask: “Is this the man that was agitating the earth?” Clearly, “Lucifer” refers to a human, not to a spirit creature.—Isaiah 14:4, 15, 16.
Why is such an eminent description given to the Babylonian dynasty? We must realize that the king of Babylon was to be called the shining one only after his fall and in a taunting way. (Isaiah 14:3) Selfish pride prompted Babylon’s kings to elevate themselves above those around them. So great was the arrogance of the dynasty that it is portrayed as bragging: “To the heavens I shall go up. Above the stars of God I shall lift up my throne, and I shall sit down upon the mountain of meeting, in the remotest parts of the north. . . . I shall make myself resemble the Most High.”—Isaiah 14:13, 14.
“The stars of God” are the kings of the royal line of David. (Numbers 24:17) From David onward, these “stars” ruled from Mount Zion. After Solomon built the temple in Jerusalem, the name Zion came to apply to the whole city. Under the Law covenant, all male Israelites were obliged to travel to Zion three times a year. Thus, it became “the mountain of meeting.” By determining to subjugate the Judean kings and then remove them from that mountain, Nebuchadnezzar is declaring his intention to put himself above those “stars.” Instead of giving Jehovah credit for the victory over them, he arrogantly puts himself in Jehovah’s place. So it is after being cut down to the earth that the Babylonian dynasty is mockingly referred to as the “shining one.”
The pride of the Babylonian rulers indeed reflected the attitude of “the god of this system of things”—Satan the Devil. (2Â Corinthians 4:4) He too lusts for power and longs to place himself above Jehovah God. But Lucifer is not a name Scripturally given to Satan.
