Lucifer Explained: The Origin and Meaning Behind this Fallen Angel

Where does Lucifer, the fallen angel, REALLY come from? Aside from Paradise Lost by John Milton, or Fox’s TV series of the same name, the Bible is the best bet. Or so you’d think. This video explains the origins of this fallen angel. “Lucifer” is only mentioned once in the Bible, in Isaiah 14:12. But in the original Hebrew, the word “Lucifer” is absent. In its place, we have “helel ben shahar” which means “shining one, son of morning”, a Hebrew word for the morning star, the planet Venus.

Somehow the planet Venus became associated with the Devil, and that has much to do with the book of Enoch. A book that features a fallen angel who is kicked out of heaven. Over time, early Christians and Jews came to see Isaiah 14:12 as a veiled reference to a fallen angel. And so, Lucifer (the Latin word for morning star) was born, and became associated with Satan, the Devil, Beezebub and so on…

I hope that I haven’t made this too convoluted or unapproachable. The story behind how Lucifer itself is pretty complex as it involves delving into ancient languages that can throw lots of people off. Including me! I’m always looking for ways to improve my videos, so let me know your thoughts.

Thank you for 7.8k subs! Wow, who’d have thought. I’m so grateful to all of you that watch my videos and especially those who like, comment and subscribe. It’s very much appreciated.

Its funny Venus started all of this, and thousands of years later we discover it literally looks like Hell.

I'm assuming that "the most beautiful angel" must have meant the ones with the most eyes and mouths

"In today's terms, that's the equivalent of being a sort of Bible fanfiction"

Best part of the video.

It's so fascinating to grow up religious (in my case, Mormon) and finally, as an adult, see a lot the doctrine of Judaism and Christianity put into actual historical context with the real documents and the comparisons to other neighboring cultures and mythologies of that time period. So many of these stories now feel like actual history and mythologies (like Greek, Roman, or Egyptian) instead of these weird legends that I was constantly told to believe in as a kid.

I’m not even religious, but learning about this stuff is kinda interesting

[Josh-xmcp]

Religious or not, the Bible has the coolest lore.

[elijahblechman]

Lucier as a concept is so important for modren story telling. The idea of of once great and almost heroic person falling to become the ultimate evil is my favorite troupe in fantasy story telling..

[zekesanchez]

Now it starts to make sense. There's a saying in the Latin community "Hijo de la Manana" wich my parents used to refer to when chastising a person or a bad situation. That translates into "Son of the Morning". I never understood it till now. Thank you.

[ivabiggin]

Very good explanation. I have been aware of this for 5 decades. Having the ability to read Aramaic and Hebrew is paramount to knowing what has been said. I do my best translating Latin which is very helpful. Sadly most religious people don't really want to know the original intention thinking it will destroy their faith.

[colindaniels]

"Bible Fan Fiction"
Huh, never thought I'd hear that one

[acezeman]

So I'm not religious at all, and I love these videos connection and explaining all of this. From a history and curiosity standpoint your videos are great and I love watching your content.

[parkin]

Great video, love the channel.

I'm not even remotely religious, but these kind of things are interesting.

You forgot the part where he fell in love with a detective.

I'm glad someone actually covered this topic. When I was a Christian many years ago and after reading and studying the Bible over and over again, especially the books of Isaiah and Ezekiel, which folks claim the story of the origin of Satan appear, I realized that those verses DO NOT talk about Satan, but about the kings of Babylon and Tyre.

I brought that up with some of my peers and they scoffed at my findings. They claimed that I wasn't reading the verses correctly and that I needed "the holy spirit" to guide me while I read the scriptures. I've learned years later that if you read and study a topic and it doesn't explain itself clearly, its all rubbish.

This is why when folks try to tell me "the bible says" this or that, I ask them "did tje holy spirit tell you that?"-because ebery Christian denomination in the world claims to have the truth, that they are believers of Jesus Christ, that they are baptized by the holy ghost, yet they bash others making the same claims as well. This is why there is so much confusion out there. Not everyone of them can be right, but they sure as hell can all be wrong.

[AtilonWoW]

Hebrew is like my first language, and the way you were reading sounded like you were going to summon a demon xD

[cristian-ionutapostol]

Luceafăr is still the Romanian name for Venus in the sky to this day.

[polish_filipino]

Lemme just go up to some satanists and be like: "Lucifer isn't even canon" smh
"Ya'll just a bunch of hardcore bible fanfiction supporters"
