Lucifer Is Not The God you Think He Is
A lot of people have heard about Lucifer…Lucifer, the fallen angel, Lucifer the most brilliant of all angels in heaven who was kicked out for undisclosed reasons. Well, did you know, the word Lucifer is not a name. Lucifer is not the name of Satan. It is a Latin word that is only found once in the King James Bible. Most translations today don’t have the word Lucifer in it. They translate the word as it should be according to the Hebrew language…oh bright morning star son of the dawn, how you have fallen from heaven. So the fact is, the word Lucifer was never meant to be a name. The bright morning star had nothing to do with a supernatural being said to be Satan.
The word Lucifer was used to speak about an ancient king who became so powerful that his arrogance caused him to be brought to nothing. The fall from heaven of this king was nothing more than a dramatic reduction in the King’s power. If this were written today in plain English it might say:

Oh King Nebuchadnezzar, you believe you are a God, the planet Venus, the brightest star to rise before the morning sun. You have become so big for your britches that your arrogance will be your demise. Get ready arrogant king because here comes your fall.
