'Lucifer' comes from the Latin lucem ferre, which mean 'light-bearer', a name for the dawn appearance of the planet Venus.

In The Bible, this first appeared in Isaiah chapter 14, a passage that refers to the king of Babylon, who laid the nations low. Isaiah 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. The king 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 being cast down from heaven.

Is lucifer real?

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.
