Isaiah was being sarcastic in his address to the mean Babylonian king who was now brought down from his self-assigned perch. It was Jerome who used the Latin name ‘Lucifer’ instead of repeating a long phrase from the text he was translating. Over the centuries the name Jerome used ‘accumulated’ a surrounding mythos. The original intent of the name was to substitute for the phrase, not rename Satan as Lucifer.

Thanks MHGinTN
I nearly got threw out of Bible study one time for suggesting that i could not see enough proof that Lucifer and Satan were the very same, but it was a nick name for the King, that he was like Satan because of his desire for power.

In other words i believed that he was just mocking the King.

Thanks .
