LUCIFER
In mainstream Christianity, Lucifer is a fallen angel who rebelled against God, and was expelled from Heaven and sent to Earth. He is often identified as the serpent in the Garden of Eden, whose persuasions led to the two corresponding Christian doctrines: the Original Sin and its cure, the Redemption of Jesus Christ. He is also identified as the accuser of Job, the tempter of the Gospels, Leviathan and the dragon in the Book of Revelation. Origen and other Christian writers linked the fallen morning star of Isaiah 14:12 to Jesus’ statement in Luke 10:18 that “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven” and to the mention of a fall of Satan in Revelation 12:8–9.[43] In Latin-speaking Christianity, the Latin word “lucifer” as employed in the late 4th-century AD Vulgate to translate הילל, gave rise to the name “Lucifer” for the person believed to be referred to in the text.
