venus
parallels are drawn to the passage in that mentions the "son of the morning" that had "fallen from heaven" and was "cast down to the earth". in verse 12 of this passage, the hebrew word that referred to the morning star was translated into latin as lucifer. with the application to the devil of the morning star story, "lucifer" was then applied to him as a proper name. the name lucifer, the latin name (literally "light-bearer" or "light-bringer") for the morning star (the planet venus in its morning appearances), is often given to the devil in these stories. the brilliancy of the morning star—which eclipses all other stars, but is not seen during the night—may be what gave rise to myths such as the babylonian story of ethana and zu, who was led by his pride to strive for the highest seat among the star-gods on the northern mountain of the gods (an image present also in ), but was hurled down by the supreme ruler of the babylonian olympus. stars were then regarded as living celestial beings. the "jewish encyclopedia" states that the myth concerning the morning star was transferred to satan by the first century before the common era, citing in support of this view the "life of adam and eve" and the slavonic book of enoch 29:4, 31:4, where satan-sataniel is described as having been one of the archangels. because he contrived "to make his throne higher than the clouds over the earth and resemble 'my power' on high", satan-sataniel was hurled down, with his angels, and since then he has been flying in the air continually above the abyss. according to jewish thought, the passage in "isaiah" was used to prophesy the fate of the king of babylon, who is described as aiming to rival god.
