It is my conviction that Lucifer and Satan are not the same being.

Though churches have taught

this for many centuries. The Lord started dealing with me that they were not the same but after
being taught they were I found it hard to think differently. I believe Satan is a created being that
is the essence of Evil itself. He is the being that is formed when ones Sin goes to the Soul and
they are dead while they yet live. The soul is in an unformed state and yet it is a human’s
sovereignty in that as humans we are living souls and we are also a constitution of exactly what
we think and what we believe as to the conviction of the heart. Your Soul is You Faith, your Faith
is the thoughts that you think and believe in your heart for as you think in your heart so you are.
Sin is but one thing according to the Bible and that is unbelief. Now unbelief is still faith, but it is
faith in reverse. It is when one believes a lie or is in disbelief of truth. If the Soul can Sin then it
stands to reason that the soul is the center of who you are, it is you, a living breathing thought
producing being.

Now having said that I believe it to be like this, as we have in the secret place of the Most High
as to the natural we have the Ark of the Covenant that sits inside the Holy of Holies. This being
typical of the 3rd heaven where God dwells then we can see the secret parts of God. The Ark has
TWO Covering Cherubim’s. Now there is a lot of dimensions that they represent but to keep our
thought pattern in what we are trying to bring out let’s say one represents the Good and the
other represents the Evil. It had to be this way for How could man be a sovereignty unless he had
the power to choose between a positive and a negative, Good or Evil, How could he know what
either one was unless he was allowed to taste both worlds, and then and only then could he
make up his mind as to who he will choose to be in life and the afterlife. Evil was and is a
necessity for mankind to exist at this point in God’s Plan. I am not saying Evil is Good, but I am
saying the purpose of Evil was good! It was all in God’s Plan. God Himself says to us, Can Evil
come to a city and I have not sent it saith The Lord? He said I form the Light, I create the
Darkness, and I have my way in all things! SO here we have 2 beings represented here and what
is in between those two beings? It is Blood! As to the Jews it was the slain blood of the beast to
show that their sins had been paid for! SO Blood Life as the physical world is the life of the Soul
Realm, Blood life is beast life! That is why it is possible for a soul to sin, for it is a beast nature
inside of it that came from the first man Adam and the first Mother Eve and from them comes all
the Beast Blood life that is here today. God separated all of these things in the Word like opening
an accordion so that man could get a glimpse of all of these things, from Sin, to the Serpent, to
Lucifer and Satan, and Darkness and Light and Body and Spirit and it was all for the spiritual
education of man. But now the accordion is closing back together and we are seeing that they
were all the same thing as to Leviathan and this Body and the Serpent, and Evil as to Lucifer and
Darkness, and Christ and Light and the Spirit and on and on we can go. Now look at it if you will,
this way. On one side you have The Faith of Jesus Christ that dwells in the heart of the real
Christian and on the other side you have the condemning Unbelief of Satan that dwells in the
heart of the Sinner. See how it is a matter of one’s Faith? Which one are you and which one will
you accept and which one will you become? If you choose the Good (God) Cherubim then you
receive the Faith of Christ for God has subjected Himself to The Faith of Christ thus you become
Christ manifest in the Flesh, no longer a living Soul, therefore your blood is no longer on the
mercy seat for you are not a living soul but behold! You are now a quickening Spirit! Now let’s
look at the other side, If you sin willfully after you have come to the knowledge of the Truth as it
has entered your heart and you reject that, then by your own choosing and by your own
sovereignty you choose the Lie then you are damned and your Soul has now sinned and it is not
the Sinful flesh that was allowed Grace by the Blood of Calvary and it atoned for it but now you
have chosen to listen to the other Cherubim called Lucifer who when God said I need someone to
go for me and who can I send, and a Spirit spoke up and said, “I will Go” and God said How will
you go? And the Angelic Being said I will go and be a Lying Spirit in the mouth of all these
Prophets! So by your unbelief you have now become the opposite of Christ and you have now,
formed, and created and become Satan Himself! Now you are that Bloody Dragon that dwelled in
heaven and now you are cast out by your unbelief and faith in reverse into a World of Hellish
Nightmare!

So see how simple this really is? When you choose to do good, your sins are not remembered
anymore and upon accepting the Grace from God through the Works of Jesus Christ you have
become Christ in the Flesh, but by choosing the other way you become Satan and out of your
innermost being comes devils and demons to the World. Satan is what is created when your Soul
becomes one in a state of conviction of Sin and Unbelief and then you don’t have to worry about
going to Hell, you are already there, the flames of Lust and evil and wickedness burn in you and
you don’t see that world you are now a part of in its fullness because your physical body still
walks this plane of living but your soul is dead and you are dead while you live. You become the
Light of Christ or the Darkness of Satan. But know this and know this well, That there is a
marriage taking place between those two cherubim and they will soon be One and all will have
made their decisions and the blood will not stand between them anymore and the days of grace
will be over and eternal destiny’s will have been made. Choose this day whom you will serve!
Lucifer has to do with the weakness of the flesh as to being the Woman part of God and by
unbelief was changed from a being of light to a being of darkness, but Lucifer means Light
Bearer. Does that not make you think of Light and also one who bears Light like a Woman bears
a child? Oh the redemption of the Woman, The Body. It was blamed for Sin, but the Husband
annulled it, and paid for it instead and Sin was no longer accounted for as to the Flesh for He
came and condemned Sin in the Flesh and now it is impossible for the Flesh to Sin for it is dead
in God’s Sight and a dead man is not under the Law. Now Sin is of the heart and of the Soul.

So if you read my other writing entitled “The Origin of Sin” then by this writing you should know
it was also the Origin of Satan. Hell was created for Satan and His Angels. Oh My So very very
very MUCH more we could say about Hell and Where Jesus went and what He freed when he
went there. If you are privy to my other writings and keep up with them then I hope you are able
to understand some of what I am saying for in my other writings I have explained a lot more of
all of this to bring about a continuity of thought so you can get a better grasp of the bigger
picture! Be Blessed!

Is Satan “Lucifer"?

Q.

Isaiah 14:12 mentions the name of "Lucifer." I’ve heard it said that this is Satan. Are Lucifer and Satan one and
the same?

A.
It is sad, but nevertheless true, that on occasion Bible students attribute to God’s Word facts and concepts that it
neither teaches nor advocates. These ill-advised beliefs run the entire gamut—from harmless misinterpretations
to potentially soul-threatening false doctrines.

Although there are numerous examples from both categories that could be listed, perhaps one of the most
popular misconceptions among Bible believers is that Satan also is designated as “Lucifer” within the pages of
the Bible. What is the origin of the name Lucifer, what is its meaning, and is it a synonym for “Satan”? Here are
the facts.

The word “Lucifer” is used in the King James Version only once, in Isaiah 14:12: “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!”
The Hebrew word translated “Lucifer” is helel (or heylel), from the root, hâlâl, meaning “to shine” or “to bear
light.” Keil and Delitzsch noted that “[i]t derives its name in other ancient languages also from its striking
brilliancy, and is here called ben-shachar (son of the dawn)... (1982, 7:311). However, the KJV translators did
not translate helel as Lucifer because of something inherent in the Hebrew term itself. Instead, they borrowed
the name from Jerome’s translation of the Bible (A.D. 383-405) known as the Latin Vulgate. Jerome, likely
believing that the term was describing the planet Venus, employed the Latin term “Lucifer” (“light-bearing”) to
designate “the morning star” (Venus). Only later did the suggestion originate that Isaiah 14:12ff. was speaking
of the devil. Eventually, the name Lucifer came to be synonymous with Satan. But is Satan “Lucifer”?

No, he is not. The context into which verse 12 fits begins in verse 4 where God told Isaiah to “take up this
parable against the king of Babylon, and say, ‘How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased!’” In his
commentary on Isaiah, Albert Barnes explained that God’s wrath was kindled against the king because the ruler
“intended not to acknowledge any superior either in heaven or earth, but designed that himself and his laws
should be regarded as supreme” (1950, 1:272). The chest-pounding boast of the impudent potentate was:

I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; and I will sit upon the mount of
congregation, in the uttermost parts of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make
myself like the Most High (vss. 13-14).

As a result of his egotistical self-deification, the pagan monarch eventually would experience both the collapse
of his kingdom and the loss of his life—an ignominious end that is described in vivid and powerful terms.
“Sheol from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming,” the prophet proclaimed to the once-
powerful king. And when the ruler finally descends into his eternal grave, captives of that hidden realm will
taunt him by saying, “Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms?” (vs. 16). He is
denominated as a “man” (vs. 16) who would die in disrepute and whose body would be buried, not in a king’s
sarcophagus, but in pits reserved for the downtrodden masses (vss. 19-20). Worms would eat his body, and
hedgehogs would trample his grave (vss. 11,23).

It was in this context that Isaiah referred to the king of Babylon as “the morning star” (“son of the morning”;
“son of the dawn”) to depict the once-shining-but-now-dimmed, once-lofty-but-now-diminished, status of the
(soon to be former) ruler. In his Bible Commentary, E.M. Zerr observed that such phrases were “...used
figuratively in this verse to symbolize the dignity and splendor of the Babylonian monarch. His complete
overthrow was likened to the falling of the morning star” (1954, 3:265). This kind of phraseology should not be
surprising since “[i]n the O.T., the demise of corrupt national powers is frequently depicted under the imagery
of falling heavenly luminaries (cf. Isa. 13:10; Ezek. 32:7), hence, quite appropriately in this context the
Babylonian monarch is described as a fallen star [cf. ASV]” (Jackson, 1987, 23:15).

Nowhere within the context of Isaiah 14, however, is Satan depicted as Lucifer. In fact, quite the opposite is
true. In his commentary on Isaiah, Burton Coffman wrote: “We are glad that our version (ASV) leaves the word
Lucifer out of this rendition, because...Satan does not enter into this passage as a subject at all” (1990, p. 141).
The Babylonian ruler was to die and be buried—fates neither of which Satan is destined to endure. The king
was called “a man” whose body was to be eaten by worms, but Satan, as a spirit, has no physical body. The
monarch lived in and abided over a “golden city” (vs. 4), but Satan is the monarch of a kingdom of spiritual
darkness (cf. Ephesians 6:12). And so on.

The context presented in Isaiah 14:4-16 not only does not portray Satan as Lucifer, but actually militates against
it. Keil and Delitzsch firmly proclaimed that “Lucifer,” as a synonym, “is a perfectly appropriate one for the
king of Babel, on account of the early date of the Babylonian culture, which reached back as far as the grey
twilight of primeval times, and also because of its predominate astrological character” (1982, p. 312). They then
correctly concluded that “Lucifer, as a name given to the devil, was derived from this passage...without any
warrant whatever, as relating to the apostasy and punishment of the angelic leaders” (pp. 312-313).
