Lucifer - Where did you come from?

Ever wondered where Lucifer came from? Well I did, I always used to ask my teachers why did God create Satan if he knew that he would betray Him in the end? Don't get me wrong, I was always told that God knows the future, so why would he let His people suffer in the hands of the devil.
This post is about the origin of "Lucifer"

Lucifer (Christian) - the name given to Satan by God before he was cast out of the Heavens
Lucifer (Definition) - derived from the Latin term "lucem ferre", meaning "bringer or bearer of light".
I suppose it was from this definition that people said Satan was the Angel of Light in heaven.

The term Lucifer comes from Roman Astronomy, it was given to the morning star we now all know as Venus. The morning star appears in the sky just before the breaking of dawn "announcing the rising of the sun", thus bringer of light.

Lucifer makes his first appearance in chapter 14 verse 12 of The Book of the Jewish Prophet Isaiah and nowhere else in the Old Testament, there is no mention of Satan in the text not by name or reference. Since Lucifer is derived from a Latin term, how did the word end up in a Hebrew manuscript, written before any Roman language existed?
Chapter 14 of The Book of Isaiah is not about a fallen angel, the correct reference in the passage is to the King of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar (a fallen king). Many people say Babylon was the earth, earth has always been earth and Babylon was the capital city of the ancient land of Babylonia in southern Mesopotamia. This is where the Jews were held captive for 70 years and it became a symbol of power, materialism and cruelty. Isaiah was Jewish and the scripture is about him "celebrating" the fall of a cruel king. Besides, Jews do not believe Satan is a body or a spirit, they simply take it as a metaphor for a sin, so why would a Jewish Prophet scream out "he saw Satan"?
In the Hebrew text the expression used to describe the Babylon king before his death is "Helal, son of Shahar" which can be best translated as "Day star, son of the Dawn".
The King James I version of The Old Testament was not translated from the original manuscript but used versions translated by St. Jerome. It appears that the scholars of St. Jerome made an error by using a correct term in a wrong script/context and changed the whole history of the Bible.
According to F.T. DeAngelis, the actual term used in the Greek Septuagint version of Isaiah 14:12 is Eo(u)s phorus, morning star/DAWN God of light.

Here's the Vulgate:

"quomodo cecidisti de caelo Lucifer qui mane oriebaris corruisti in terram qui vulnerabas gentes."

This is where the misinterpretation took place, and over the centuries a metamorphosis took place thus today Satan is the fallen angel "Lucifer".
This led to the verse to being:

"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!"

 

To eventually being:

"How you are fallen from heaven, O Day Star, son of Dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, you who laid the nations low!"

In Revelation 22:16 Jesus is given the same title "Bright morning star"

"I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star."


The irony for those who believe that "Lucifer" refers to Satan is that the same title ("morning star"or"light bearer") is used to refer to Jesus again, in 2 Peter 1:19, where the Greek term has exactly the same text: 'phos-phoros' 'light-bearer'.

Maybe it is the work of devil himself that changed the scriptures or it was an honest mistake on St. Jerome's side but if this was spotted how come we still lead to believing that "Lucifer" is "Satan"?
Could it be that he has no origin or that his origin cannot be explained? If Satan wasn't created by God, who created Satan? The language that introduced Lucifer (or where the word 'Lucifer' was derived from) was born after the bible was written, so where does the idea that Satan was named Lucifer by the Creator?

The reason I went on to do this research it's these people who play music videos backwards and say they saying "Lucifer", I don't get such behaviour...are they alright in their minds or what's going on? Follow these links if you wanna know more about the inclusion of Lucifer in the Bible. Remember, different people interpret things differently, the people who put the word "Lucifer" in the Bible thought everyone would get the metaphor but it seems no one did.

Deal with the Devil

According to many the illuminati are the devil worshipers. They claim they sold their souls to the devil for money, fame and power. I tried researching how one can go about selling their soul and found different procedures that all say at the end with..."I would never sell my soul" or it's your soul, it's your choice but I would never sell mine. Books have been published for those who want success in music, business, and others serve as a guide to one selling their soul.

HERE"S WHAT I THINK:
Selling your soul is a big deal if you want to anyways. You need to acknowledge that you have a soul. Then you must believe that there is Satan and thus God exists. Someone who believes that God exists has the idea of heaven and hell. Someone with the idea of heaven and hell knows that in hell you will burn for your eternal life. Which is why I pose the question, who in their right mind would consider making that choice knowing the consequences?

I'm also trying to find out  how the first person discovered how to sell his/her soul, how demons possess people and how Satan is able to make contact with the living

Many people have been spreading rumours that certain individuals have sold their souls through social networking, the streets, blogs and websites. I've seen video footage with people making blood oaths.

I don't know what's happening around us anymore, people are making such allegations without any proof, the only thing they have is word of mouth. Could the term 'selling your soul to the devil' be literal or figurative? I'm open to anything educational, if you can answer some of my questions about soul selling I'd really appreciate it.

The Music Industry: A business like any other

Rumours have been going around that the music industry has gone satanic. Claims that music is being used by the illuminati as a tool to destroy Christianity, Islam and Judaism. The claims go on and say the destruction of the Abrahamic Religions will create a platform for the devil to take over and rule the world.

It appears that the illuminati use signs, hidden messages and blasphemy in music/music videos to create images in our subconscious mind that will make the events prior to the rising of the devil to power familiar, unquestionable and mostly acceptable. The music industry is not the only tool being used to do this work; television adverts, movies and company logos to count a few are also used as tools by the illuminati. I mentioned in my previous post that the illuminati's not a religious society, so in my own opinion I do not think that whatever is happening in the music industry has anything to do with the devil's rise to power.

HERE'S WHY:
The music industry is a business and just like any other business it's aim is to be successful and gain profit. Music channels such as MTV are being labelled illuminati's favourite channels as they mostly show Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Rihanna and many more illuminati artists. This is absurd, I mean if more than half of music supporters prefer Lady Gaga over other artists, why not play Lady Gaga more often? I mean if people could drink both fresh water and sea water but preferred fresh water, why would a shop want to sell sea water at the same price as fresh water?

Whether or not the owners of these music stations are part of the illuminati, it wouldn't be business if they were to play boring music, they would lose viewers.

One thing I don't understand though is that if the devil kills you (that's if he ever gets the chance to rule the world), will your soul go to heaven or hell???

Introduction to the ILLUMINATI

Illuminati is Latin for "Enlightened, Brilliant or simply clever".

The Illuminati is a group of people belonging to a society founded by Adam Weishaupt in the 1760's known back then as the Bavarian Illuminati. Weishaupt put together the master plan of the group in the 1770's. This was a highlight of the illuminati goals and was finished on May 1, 1776. Whether or not the plan was to conquer the world that is still the big Q.

According to today's urban youth, the illuminati are the devil worshipers. This is of course not true, the illuminati are not a religious society. Weishaupt defected from the Catholic Church not because he decided that he's following the devil but he was looking for reasoning. The group was for intellectuals (brilliant/illuminated individuals), people who had what they thought was a better idea of how the world functions. These people called themselves brilliant because they thought they could reason better than the community they came from whose reasoning was based solely on the Bible. Scientists, engineers, biologists, geologists, etc, all go into their respective fields of study because they have a different idea of how our world works even though some grew up in strictly religious homes.

The claim that the illuminati are the devil worshipers has really gone out of hand, now it's aiming to destroy pop-culture icons. Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Jay-Z, Kanye West and many more mainstream artists are being accused of being devil worshipers, having sold their souls to the devil they are now successful on the hands of the devil AKA Rainman. It is said that the devil controls Hollywood, the television and the music industries. It is also said that it's a hierarchy of people and the ones on top (the ones who pull the strings) are owners of successful businesses such as mines, banks and the motor industry. If you go on to google images now and search for this you'll see images of presidents (United States) inside "The Church of Satan". Clearly this is some immature grown person playing around with his/her artistic skills to create images that are false at face value.

Whatever you hear or read about on the internet, it's not 100% true until you go and do your own research. Do not just believe, find reasons to.
