Some have asked the question "Who is the Bright and morning star, Jesus or Lucifer?"

I will explain who really is the Bright and morning star in this thread.

One fact to note is, there is no place in the bible that said "Lucifer is Satan"

Issa Thread

Before i start this thread i want you to know that the titles 'Bright and Morning Star’, 'Day Star’, and 'Light Bearer', belong to the Lord Jesus Christ.

People of the opinion that Lucifer is satan got that from Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28.

But the question is are these scriptures describing the character of Satan? I noticed that Jesus and the New Testament writers often quoted and alluded to the Old Testament to endorse the authenticity of their statements. Yet they never referenced Isaiah 14 or Ezekiel 28.

Let me start with Isaiah 14. The summary of Isaiah 14 is Deliverance of Israel from captivity, which shall follow the downfall of the great empire. Triumphant ode or song of the children of Jacob, for the signal manifestation of Divine vengeance against their oppressors.

Prophecy against the Assyrians. Certainty of the prophecy, and immutability of the Divine counsels. The Palestine severely threatened then God shall establish Zion! This is the summary of the chapter!

You can study this very chapter for yourself to see too

Now when you take the chapter out of its context, that's when you come to a wrong descriptions of Satan.

Isaiah 14 was actually a proverb or poem, which mocked the rise and fall of the Babylonian dynasty, from powerful Nebuchadnezzar to partying Belshazzar.

Let's look at Isaiah 14:12 which says "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!"

This is the verse that has made many think that Lucifer is Satan

Follow me closely now

The Hebrew Word for Lucifer in that verse above is ‘heylel’ which means 'morning star'. it was used to illustrate the magnitude of Nebuchadnezzar’s rise to power; the 'morning star’ was one of his honorific titles.

The Word "Lucifer" is wrongly translated in the KJV

The Word there isn't meant to be Lucifer.

If you look many other translations the Word "Lucifer" wasn't used Isaiah 14:12

Because of this word that was wrongly translated it has made many think that was satan

Take a look at other translations on this verse

The chapter speaks nothing at all concerning Satan nor his fall, nor the occasion of that fall, the context speaks explicitly concerning Nebuchadnezzar, 

In the chapter you'd notice that the ‘morning star' was an epithet of Nebuchadnezzar the man, not a spirit being.

Some think Isaiah 14:22 was about satan but the verse means that the Lord will rise against the family of, the king of Babylon. And cut off from Babylon the name - That is, all the “males” of the royal family, so that the name of the monarch shall become extinct.

There is no evidence in the Scriptures to purport that 'morning star' was a description of Satan, or that Isaiah 14 explained his origin and character.

Now let's look at Ezekiel 28. The summary of the chapter is about the Prince of Tyre

As the city of Tyre was first of all threatened with destruction and then her fall was confirmed by a lamentation that is in chapter 27, so here in chapter 28 the prince of Tyre is first of all forewarned of his approaching death, and then a lamentation is composed thereon

In Ezekiel 28:2 some think it was about satan

The scripture isn't reffering to satan. I want you to notice something here. It says "yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God'.

Ezekiel simply prophesied the downfall of the King of Tyre.

You may ask what about Ezekiel 28:14 that says "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."

This verse isn't about Satan too

There is no evidence in the Scriptures to prove that Satan was either an archangel or a cherub sef! Angel Michael is the only archangel named in scriptures (Jude 1:9)

Nothing in the chapter refers to satan and his character.

Even the verse 17 that says
"Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty,"

Some have used the verse to say Satan was the most beautiful of all angels but the verse and chapter described the king of Tyre, not a spirit being.

There are somethings to unlearn o lol

Now Who is the Bright and morning star Jesus or Lucifer (Satan)?.

Jesus is the true morning star.

There are prophecies that pointed to the coming of the Messiah

John described Jesus as ‘the light shineth in darkness’. John 1:5 KJV says And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

Peter also used a similar phrase 'a light that shineth in a dark place' when he described Jesus as 'the day star’.

The fulfillment of Isaiah's prophecies was the coming of Christ.

In Revelation 2:28 KJV says "And I will give him the morning star."

If you look at this verse above carefully you'd see that The reward of the overcomer is 'the morning star';

Jesus Christ settled the identity of 'the bright & morning star'.

Revelation 22:16 says "I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.

Jesus said it! That's what He is!

Jesus is the true Bright and morning star!!!!
