''Lucifer'' ( | ''Lucifer'' (lit. "light-bearer") is the Latin name of the planet Venus in its role as the morning star, and is used in the Vulgate as a translation of the Hebrew word ''helel'' (lit. "shining one"), which also refers to Venus, in the verse Isaiah 14:12. While biblical scholars agree that Isaiah used this term as a metaphor for the king of Babylon, tradition states that this verse refers to Satan and that Lucifer is the original name of Satan before he rebelled against God. | ||
