Many Christians regard Lucifer as another name for Satan, considered to be the devil, an adversary of God. The origin of the word 'Lucifer' is in Isaiah 14:4-22, where it was used in an ironic sense, with the meaning of "morning star", to refer to the king of Babylon after his defeat by the Persians. This passage was misunderstood by Christian translators, resulting in the widespread Christian view that Lucifer and Satan are one.
Satan entered post-Exilic Judaism, not so much an adversary of God, but as his loyal assistant who tests the righteous, to prove their faith. The concept of the devil seems to have come from Zoroastrianism, where Ahriman is the evil adversary of Ahura Mazda. So the Christian concept of the devil seems closer to the original than the Judaic concept of Satan.

LUCIFER IS A CHRISTIAN HOAXTHE UNTOLD ORIGIN OF "LUCIFER"From my American Heritage College Dictionary,Lucifer n. 1. The archangel cast from heaven for leading the revolt of the angels; Satan. < OE, morning star, Lucifer < Latin Lucifer < lucifer, light-bringer: lux, luc-, light" (page 821).The very next word under "Lucifer" is, luciferasen. An enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of luciferin." Hmmmmm. What have we here? "Lucifer + in."And the word that follows "luciferase" in this same dictionary is: " luciferin n. A chemical substance present in the cells of bioluminescent organisms, such as fireflies that produce a bluish-green light when oxidized. [Latin Lucifer,light-bringing; see LUCIFER + -IN.]" (page. 821).There it is! Lucifer is the 'chemical bioluminescence' in the cells of FIREFLIES! WOW! With that in mind, we should all sleep better tonight.
The story of Lucifer's rebellion and fall from heaven can be found in the book of Isaiah (Isaiah 14:12-15) and the book of Ezekiel (Ezekiel 28:12-17) in the Bible. Both of these passages are often interpreted as describing the origin and fall of Lucifer, who is associated with Satan in Christian tradition.
As far as we know Lucifer does not have a son. Lucifer is a spiritual being and they do not procreate.
Considerable controversy exists over the origin of Lucifer, so no definite answers can be given. The modern view of Lucifer seems to derive from the Christian Bible as a fallen angel figure. However, this may be preceded by an ancient Canaanite myth about Attar, god of the morning star, who failed to usurp the throne of Baal, another god. The name "Lucifer" derives from the Latin word for "morning star," but the story may be much older than Christianity.
Lucifer has the power of illusion.
In Christian theology, Lucifer is considered a fallen angel who rebelled against God. While some religious texts suggest that Lucifer was a high-ranking angel, he is not seen as a second to God in any way. God is seen as the supreme being in Christianity and not subordinate to any other being.
