I mean an original source. Because Pastor Hayford has no idea what he’s talking about.

Re: “Lucifer” - first, Lucifer is a Latin abbreviation for “Lucem farre” - “light bringer.” How did it appear in the Hebrew Old Testament then? It didn’t. At least anywhere outside the King James, which translated not from the Hebrew, but the Latin Vulgate, and left that idiom in there when it didn’t belong.

Lucifer, along with Noctifer (”night bringer”) are the Latin nicknames for the planet Venus, with the same meanings as our English nicknames “morning star” and “evening star.”

Additionally, that section is not about Satan, it literally says right in it that it is a taunt against an evil Babylonian king, not Satan. Please read the entire chapter, not just verse 12.

The Holy Spirit will guide you into all truth through God’s Word, the Bible. Let Him.
