Reads the entire chapter in Isaiah and in the context about which he was writing. Then look at what Jesus said of Himself in addressing the Churches, found in Revelations. Lucifer was the name given to the phrase in Isaiah, but the person being described was a real king troubling the region, not satan of angel evil.

I will need some time to do that properly.

I do see what you are saying ...

In Isa 14:12-16 (KJV, NKJV), why is Lucifer mentioned here?

A: The Hebrew term here is “shining one”, and the name Lucifer means “shining one”, so Jerome, in translating the Vulgate, put the name Lucifer in here.

The NASB says “star of the morning”,

the NIV says “morning star”,

the NRSV says “day star”,

and Green’s Literal Translation says “shining star”,

the Septuagint says “dawn-bringer” and

the Syriac Peshitta says the name ‘Aylel.

Now I will need to read the passage.
