Lucifer

There is a common misconception that Lucifer is Satan but this is untrue.
So I'm going to try and prove that Lucifer is not "Satan".
There's a passage in the Old Testament which is commonly used as Biblical "proof" of the character of Lucifer, the proud angel who rebelled against God and was thrown out of Heaven. It comes from Isaiah 14:12,
"How you have fallen from heaven,O morning star, son of the dawn!You have been cast down to the earth,you who once laid low the nations!"
The word Lucifer is the latin word for " The Morning star".Seeing as it is a latin word,the word Lucifer would not have been in use when the passage from Isaiah was first written down.Lucifer is also sometimes translated as "Light bearer" which seems a bit funny-why would "Satan" bear light?
But look at what Jesus says in Book of Revelation 22:16,
"I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star."
What the…? Well, maybe it's just a fluke. Sorry, check out 2 Peter 1:19,
"And we have the word of the prophets made more certain, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts"
So, what's Jesus saying here… that he's none other than Lucifer? That the reason he's sent down to Earth is the same reason that Lucifer was cast out of Heaven? I'd be interested in seeing what kind of mental gymnastics literalist Christians use to get out of this trap, because it's a doozy. Either we have Jesus admitting that he's Lucifer… or something else which is equally damaging to literalist interpretations of the Bible: that the Bible was mistranslated and modified, and thus is not the perfect Revealed Word of God.
In the original Hebrew text, the fourteenth chapter of Isaiah is not about a fallen angel, but about a fallen Babylonian king, who during his lifetime had persecuted the children of Israel. It contains no mention of Satan, either by name or reference.
Why Lucifer? In Roman astronomy, Lucifer was the name given to the morning star (the star we now know by another Roman name, Venus). The morning star appears in the heavens just before dawn, heralding the rising sun. The name derives from the Latin term lucem ferre, bringer, or bearer, of light." In the Hebrew text the expression used to describe the Babylonian king before his death is Helal, son of Shahar, which can best be translated as "Day star, son of the Dawn." The name evokes the golden glitter of a proud king's dress and court (much as his personal splendor earned for King Louis XIV of France the appellation, "The Sun King").
The morning star all these people are referring to is actually the planet Venus which is the third brightest star in the sky.
Now I have an idea which stems back to my Gnostic beliefs about this whole thing.Jesus would naturally be called the light bearer or morning star because of who he was.
In Gnostic myth, we all have a divine spark inside of us(which comes from Jesus and The true God) which we must discover and free to achieve Gnosis.And in this same Gnostic myth this "light spark" falls and enters the body of the first human beings.
In 2 Peter 1:19, the text says"as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts."
Well it seems to me that this passage is referring to the divine light spark that is hidden away in us until we achieve our Gnosis.Many passages that refer to the morning star refer to it as "falling" from heaven(I am not referring to the passage from Isaiah here)like the divine spark of light.Jesus is also said to be the morning star and is also seen as this divine spark.
But that's just my opinion
