Let us Learn to distinguish between things that Differ, Phil 1:10 Literal Translation
The Lucifer Satan Confusion
As the story goes,
Lucifer was a high ranking archangel, the leader of the heavenly choir; that he along
with Michael and Gabriel ruled the heavenly host.
Then Lucifer, as the story goes, led a revolt against God taking a third of the angelic host with him.
In the fable, Lucifer and his followers were cast down to Earth where Lucifer became God’s arch-foe, Satan.
For the most part Isaiah 14:12-27 and Ezekiel 28:1-19 are used to support this position
but as with most religious fables there are scriptural problems.
For a start, Lucifer is a Latin term used only in the King James translation; it occurs only once. (Isa 14:12)
This is an inadequate scriptural basis for a mainline church doctrine. Look at verse 16;
Lucifer is a man, not a spirit. In verse 15 the word hell is in reality means the grave.
In verse 19: a carcass (dead body); a spirit does not have a carcass. Note too, thy grave;
a spirit has no grave. Clearly the prophet is not speaking about Satan.
Isa 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!
Isa 14:13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my
throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the
sides of the north:
Isa 14:14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
Isa 14:15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
Isa 14:16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying,
Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;
Isa 14:17 That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that
opened not the house of his prisoners?
Isa 14:18 All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own
house.
Isa 14:19 But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the
raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones
of the pit; as a carcass trodden under feet.
Isa 14:20 Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy
land, and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned.
Isa 14:21 Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do
not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities.
Isa 14:22 For I will rise up against them, saith the LORD of hosts, and cut off from
Babylon the name, and remnant, and son, and nephew, saith the LORD.
Isa 14:23 I will also make it a possession for the bittern, and pools of water: and I will
sweep it with the besom of destruction, saith the LORD of hosts.
Isa 14:24 The LORD of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it
come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:
Isa 14:25 That I will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains tread him
under foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their
shoulders.
Isa 14:26 This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth: and this is the
hand that is stretched out upon all the nations.
Isa 14:27 For the LORD of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? and his
hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?
Now lets look at Ezekiel: In verse 2 the prince of Tyrus is a man. In verses 8 and 10,
Thou shall die. Again a spirit cannot die. As before, the prophet is not speaking of a
spirit, but of a man.
Ezekiel 28:1 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
Eze 28:2 Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because
thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the
midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the
heart of God:
Eze 28:3 Behold, thou art wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that they can hide from
thee:
Eze 28:4 With thy wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches,
and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures:
Eze 28:5 By thy great wisdom and by thy traffick hast thou increased thy riches, and
thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches:
Eze 28:6 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast set thine heart as the
heart of God;
Eze 28:7 Behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations:
and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile
thy brightness.
Eze 28:8 They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of them
that are slain in the midst of the seas.
Eze 28:9 Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I am God? but thou shalt be a
man, and no God, in the hand of him that slayeth thee.
Eze 28:10 Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for
I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
Eze 28:11 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Eze 28:12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto
him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in
beauty.
Eze 28:13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy
covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the
sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and
of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
Eze 28:14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou
wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the
stones of fire.
Eze 28:15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till
iniquity was found in thee.
Eze 28:16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with
violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain
of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
Eze 28:17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy
wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before
kings, that they may behold thee.
Eze 28:18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the
iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall
devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that
behold thee.
Eze 28:19 All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou
shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.
Now lets look at what scripture said about Satan: Ye are of your father the devil, and
the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode
not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh
of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. (John 8:44)
He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this
purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
(1 John 3:8)
The Amplified Bible has this interesting note concerning this noted LUCIFER: “Some
students feel that the application of the name Lucifer to Satan is erroneous, even
though it is commonly taught to that effect. Lucifer, THE LIGHT BRINGER, is the Latin
equivalent of the Greek word phosphoros, which is used as a title of Christ in II Peter 1:
19 (…until the DAY STAR arise in your hearts.) and corresponds to the name `BRIGHT
MORNING STAR’ in Rev. 22:16, which Jesus called Himself.
The application of the name Lucifer has only existed since the third century A.D., and is based on the
supposition that Luke 10:18 (I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven) is an
explanation of Isaiah 14:12, which authorities feel is not true.”
Satan was a murderer and a liar from the time he was created. He was never an
exalted archangel. He was never a worship leader in heaven. He (Satan) was never Lucifer, the
light bearer. Satan was created as murderer and a liar. He was created as a waster
and a destroyer. I have created the waster to destroy (Isaiah 54:16) [That is his Office-mdw]
If not Satan, then just who was Lucifer, the light bearer?
Before Jesus there was only one man that could even come close to the description
given by the prophets: that man was Adam!
Read again the above scriptures with an open mind and you will see Adam.
Before the fall he was full of wisdom and beauty; he was in the Garden of Eden; he
walked on the holy mountain of God. Both prophets were speaking of Adam before and
after the fall. [There was NO FALL; it is In-Volution/Descension that precedes Evo-Lution/Ascension-mdw]
For there shall be a season when the sound teaching they will not suffer, but according
to their own desires to themselves they shall heap up teachers–itching in the hearing,
and indeed, from the truth the hearing they shall turn away, and to the fables they shall
be turned aside. (2 Titus 4:3,4)
