I ask this question with respect: According to the bible jehova created angel lucifer. If heaven was so perfect...How did the sin of pride enter lucifer? Where did sin/evil originate? What sin lurking around in heaven?
In john1:1, it states that all that exist originated from jehova so that means nothing existed aside jehova. Did sin originate from jehova? If it didn't, why should sin/evil originate from a perfect god-jehova?
Waiting for reply. Ciao!!
Is “Lucifer” Really Satan?
Let's examine the word “Lucifer” now.
Lucifer is mentioned in Isaiah:
How art thou fallen from heaven, O
Lucifer, son of the morning! how art
thou cut down to the ground, which
didst weaken the nations! For thou
hast said in thine heart, I will ascend
into heaven, I will exalt my throne
above the stars of God: I will sit also
upon the mount of the congregation,
in the sides of the north: I wi!1 ascend
above the heights of the clouds; I will
be like the most High. Yet thou shalt
be brought down to hell, to the sides of
the pit.
Isaiah 14:12-15
This seems to be God talking to
Lucifer. In many cases, people call Satan,
this great archangel, by the name of
Lucifer. There are people who worship the
devil and call him by the name of Lucifer.
Amazingly enough, the only place you find
the name Lucifer in the Bible is in this
one passage you just read. Lucifer is a
Latin word replacing the Hebrew word
“heylel” which means “the morning star”
(in the sense of brightness). Lucifer is a
Latin word which means “bright” or “fire”
and it is equivalent to the Greek word
“phosphorus,” which means “light bearer.”
Some older people might remember that
the early matches, made with phosphorus,
were called “Lucifers.” You used to be able
to go into the store and buy a box of
“Lucifers.”
We have also a more sure word of
prophecy; whereunto ye do well that
ye take heed, as unto a light that
shineth in a dark place, until the day
dawn, and the day star arise in your
hearts:
2 Peter 1:19
The words “day star” come from the
Greek word “phosphoros” which means
“light-bearer” or “morning star.” It can
only refer to Jesus Christ, because, in
Revelation 22, Jesus says:
I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify
unto you these things in the churches.
I am the root and the offspring of
David, and the bright and morning
star.
Revelation 22:16
The day star or the bright and morning
star in the New Testament refers only to
Jesus Christ. It is a title or a subtitle.
In Isaiah 14:12, if you'll look at the
margin in some Bibles, there is a number
by the word Lucifer and the margin reads
“day star.” So, Isaiah 14:12 should read:
“How art thou fallen from heaven, O day
star, son of the morning”!
Isaiah 14 — The True Story
You have to understand how God is
speaking to this “day star,” or “Lucifer,” in
order to understand what He means. This
whole thing is sarcasm. Let's go back to
verse four, where the Lord is speaking to
the prophet.
That thou shalt take up this proverb
(taunting speech) against the king of
Babylon, and say, How hath the
oppressor ceased! the golden city
ceased!
Isaiah 14:4
The king of Babylon is a man. He is not
a god or an archangel, he is a man. The
prophet was to use “taunting speech,” or
sarcasm, when speaking to this king of
Babylon.
The Lord hath broken the staff of the
wicked, and the sceptre of the rulers.
He who smote the people in wrath
with a continual stroke, he that ruled
the nations in anger, is persecuted,
and none hindereth. The whole earth
is at rest, and is quiet: they brake
forth into singing. Yea, the fir trees
rejoice at thee, and the cedars of
Lebanon, saying, Since thou art laid
down, no feller is come up against us.
Isaiah 14:5-8
This is speaking of the destruction of
the empire of Babylon. The king of
Babylon is being told that the earth will
rejoice when he is destroyed.
Hell (the grave) from beneath is
moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming:
it stirreth up the dead for thee,
even all the chief ones of the earth; it
hath raised up from their thrones all
the kings of the nations. All they shall
speak and say unto thee, Art thou also
become weak as we? art thou become
like unto us?
Isaiah 14:9-10
The dead kings are asking this great
and mighty king of Babylon if he is going
to become a dead king like they are.
Thy pomp is brought down to the
grave, and the noise of thy viols: the
worm is spread under thee, and the
worms cover thee. How art thou fallen
from heaven, O Lucifer (day star), son
of the morning! how art thou cut
down to the ground, which didst
weaken the nations!
Isaiah 14:11-12
What did the king of Babylon fall
from? He fell from world power. Heaven
does not always refer to the abode of God.
It sometimes refers to world power.
For thou hast said in thine heart, I
will ascend into heaven, I will exalt
my throne above the stars of God: I
will sit also upon the mount of the
congregation, in the sides of the
north: I will ascend above the heights
of the clouds; I will be like the most
High.
Isaiah 14:13-14
God is saying that this king of Babylon
wants to set himself up above God. This is
sarcasm or taunting. God is saying, in
essence, “you think you are the day star,
you think you are the Christ, you think
you are the great ruler and God of the
earth.” He is talking to a man. He is not
talking to some archangel at all.
Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell
(sheol or the grave), to the sides of the
pit. They that see thee shall narrowly
look upon thee, and consider thee,
saying, Is this the man that made the
earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms:
Isaiah 14:15-16
Even though Babylon ruled over all of
the known world at that time, God is
taunting this king and telling him that he
is not a christ, he is not a great ruler. God
says this king is a mortal man and he will
be brought down to death and to the
grave.
That made the world as a wilderness,
and destroyed the cities thereof; that
opened not the house of his prisoners?
All the kings of the nations, even all of
them, lie in glory, every one in his own
house. But thou art cast out of thy
grave like an abominable branch,
and as the raiment of those that are
slain, thrust through with a sword,
that go down to the stones of the pit;
as a carcass trodden under feet. Thou
shalt not be joined with them in burial,
because thou hast destroyed thy
land, and slain thy people: the seed of
evildoers shall never be renowned.
Prepare slaughter for his children for
the iniquity of their fathers (this king
had children); that they do not rise,
nor possess the land, nor fill the face
of the world with cities. For I will rise
up against them, saith the Lord of
hosts, and cut off from Babylon the
name, and remnant, and son, and
nephew, saith the Lord. I will also
make it a possession for the bittern,
and pools of water: and I will sweep it
with the besom of destruction, saith
the Lord of hosts. The Lord of hosts
hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have
thought, so shall it come to pass; and
as I have purposed, so shall it stand:
Isaiah 14:17-24
If you look at the context of this
prophecy, the probability is that it was fulfilled
in the destruction of Belshazer, king
of Babylon, when the Babylonian empire
was taken over by the Medes and
Persians. If you read on in Isaiah, you will
find that Assyria was the next empire
which was broken by God.
Again, Isaiah 14:4 is the only place in
the Bible where the word “Lucifer” is
used. Yet we have people who call themselves
“Luciferians,” who worship a nebulous,
angelic, supernatural being, which
they say is their god. The truth of the matter
is that the word “Lucifer” shouldn't
even be in the Bible, it is an error — a
mistranslation. So, what do we have?
Well, we have the same thing with Lucifer
that we had with “sawtan” or Satan.
When we examine the Bible passages
where these words are used, we are left
with nothing that cannot be fulfilled by a
mortal man or mortal men.
I am convinced that one of the major
reasons church-going people today are not
rising up in anger against the men who
are defiling and destroying our nation is
because ministers have convinced them to
look at an archangel or a spirit-being who
they say is causing all the trouble. They
are taught to be angry at the devil instead
of the men who are destroying us. This
weapon against us is one of the most iniquitous
and effective weapons the enemy
has ever devised. We are made to think
that our enemies are motivated by something
which is supernatural when the
truth of the matter is they are motivated
by anger and hatred against us,
