Yes, and no. The name Lucifer was used in an ironic sense in Isaiah 14:4-22, to refer to the king of Babylon after his defeat by the Persians. He had ruled the nations in anger, but now his pomp and splendour as king is compared to his new fate. He had compared himself to the morning star (Lucifer) and had thought that he would ascend into heaven and sit among the stars, but was now himself persecuted. He has become weak and like one of us; he will go to hell. This passage was misunderstood by early Christians as discussing the devil, and so Lucifer became another name for Satan. This is an interpretation with which Judaism has never agreed.

∙ 8y agoThe fall of Lucifer (the devil) is a Christian tradition that is not really supported by biblical evidence - the name Luciferwas never really intended to apply to the devil. 'Lucifer' really means the morning star, and actually refers to the king of Babylon (Isaiah 14:4-22). Isaiah tells us of the hatred the Jewish people felt for this king, and their glee at his destruction. This passage was misunderstood by Christian translators, resulting in the widespread Christian view that Lucifer and Satan are one.

∙ 11y agoLucifer is mentioned in Isaiah chapter 14, a passage that refers to the king of Babylon, who laid the nations low. It talks of the king's pomp and splendour, how he had ruled the nations in anger, and his fate after his overthrow by the king of Persia. He had compared himself to the Morning Star and was thus derisorily called 'Lucifer' (lucem ferre, which mean 'light-bearer', a name for the dawn appearance of the planet Venus) and had thought that he would ascend into heaven and sit among the stars, but was now himself persecuted. This text was misunderstood by early Christian scholars and even some Jewish scholars of the period, with both assuming that it referred to Satan or the devil.
