The Lie about Lucifer

I've heard quite often the blantant lie that is being propogated today by many so-called "Scholars" that the passage of scripture in Isaiah 14 which speaks of "Lucifer" does not apply to the Devil or Satan. On source states:

"Lucifer, used as a name for the Devil, is not found in the Bible. There is only one reference to Lucifer in the Bible (Isa. 14:12), and it does not refer to Satan, but to the king of Babylon."

The truth of the matter is the passage does apply to Satan. But it also applies to the king of Babylon as well. In other words, it's written literally to the King of Babylon, but it's also written spiritually to the Devil inside of Him. Thus, it does apply to Satan.

As we look at Isaiah chapter 14, we can't deny there are some verses which apply literally to the King of Babylon, the man, at the time it was written. But as we look at other verses we find they can only apply to Satan, who was once known as Lucifer. For example we read:

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!

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:

14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

Did the King of Babylon literally fall from heaven (vs 12)? Nope!

Who is the "son of the morning?" Why it's Satan. And he was cast down to earth when he fell from heaven.

Who said, "I will ascend and exalt my throne above the stars of God..." You might say, "Well, the King of Babylon could have said that!"

True. He could have said it. But he couldn't of done it. Only Satan, who can travel to heaven before the throne of God and back (See the book of Job) can literally ascend into heaven.

And who shall be brought down to hell? Surely the King of Babylon died and went to hell. But the Bible teaches us that the Devil will also be brought into Hell.

To say that Isaiah chapter 14 only speaks of the King of Babylon and has nothing to do with Lucifer or Satan is a blatant lie. And those who propogate this, whether knowingly or unknowingly, are guilty of covering up for Satan and trying to hide the fact that the word "Lucifer" applies to the Devil. Who would do such a thing?

Don't you think the Devil appreciates it when people help cover up his name? Especially since so many today are worshippers of "Lucifer." You see it's easier to call yourself a worshipper of "Lucifer" than a worshipper of "Satan" or the "Devil."

The truth is Lucifer is Satan, and the passage in Isaiah 14 does apply to him. And to prove it, let's go to Ezekiel chapter 28. There we read of the prophet prophecying against the King of Tyrus. (Just like Isaiah prophecies against the King of Babylon in Isa. 14). In the passage we read the following:

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.

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.

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.

15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.

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.

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.

Notice here we read of the "anointed cherub" (vs 14). Is that the King of Tyrus? Or could it instead be Satan or Lucifer? Whoever it was, he was in the Garden of Eden (vs 13). Does that sound like the King of Tyrus? Was he there with Adam and Eve? OF COURSE NOT!!!

The passage, although written to the King of Tyrus was a message to Satan, who was upon the mountain of God (vs 16), and who was full of wisdom (vs 12), and who corrupted himself (vs 17) because of his iniquity (vs 15) and who fell.

As we read verse 17, we find him being cast to the ground and laid before kings so they might behold him. This sounds a lot like what we read in Isaiah 14. So what we see is God speaking to the Devil or Lucifer through his prophet, who addresses Satan through the King of Tyrus, just as Ezekiel addressed Lucifer through the King of Babylon.

Without a doubt, Lucifer is Satan! And anyone who says otherwise is either completely ignorant of the Bible and how to read cross-references, or is in cahoots with Lucifer and is trying to hide the fact that the word "Lucifer" (which many downgrade by saying only means "Light-bearer") is a name for Satan himself. Which is it? You decide.
