Religion / Lucifer Is Not The Devil by succyblinks(f): 10:50am On Aug 22, 2017
Yes you read the topic right, Lucifer is not the devil

How did the word LUCIFER become synonymous with evil? Only because this is what the church has taught. The English word “Lucifer” appears only one time in the 1611 King James Version of the Bible which is in Isaiah 14:12. This is a bogus translation of the Hebrew word “heylel” used here, and this Hebrew word is an adjective and NOT a noun. It simply means “early light, bright, shining” and it is not the name of any entity. The word LUCIFER is of Latin origin, and is not from the original languages of the Bible. This is a fact, just look it up in the dictionary.
Here’s the shocker, the dictionary defines of the word “Lucifer” as “a proud, rebellious archangel”. The reason this is a shocker is that this definition is given as if it was taken from the Bible, but NOTHING in the scriptures ever refers to “a proud, rebellious archangel”.
Isaiah 14:12. “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!” The “O” in this verse was just stuck in there by the translators and the word rendered “LUCIFER” in both ancient languages, Paleo and Greek as stated previously, is an adjective and means “early light, brightening, shining”. The truth is that this pertains to a MAN and not to some goody good perfect archangel with powers above all the heavenly host. In order to understand what the prophet is actually saying, then read Isaiah 14:1-24, and don’t build a whole theology by ripping one verse out of context which is the modus operandi of Jewmonized Christianity.
Verse 4 says what this passage is about and to whom it is addressed. “Thou shalt take up this PROVERB AGAINST the KING of BABYLON,” and everything from here to verse 24 is about this king and nation. Just look at what God says in verse 22, “For I will rise up against them, saith the LORD (YAHWAH) of hosts, and cut off from BABYLON the name, and remnant, and son, and nephew, saith the LORD (YAHWAH).”
Now understand verse 4 clearly states that YAHWAH God is speaking to the KING OF BABYLON. He says that these verses are to be a “proverb against the king of Babylon”. The “Lucifer” in verse 12 is an adjective which pertains to this same King of Babylon, and it will be Babylon that the LORD (YAHWAH) “will rise up against” as stated in verse 22. If needs be go back and reread these verses to understand that “Lucifer” is not the entity addressed here, but it is merely a descriptive term for the KING OF BABYLON, who was filled with arrogance, thought he was greater than any god, and that his throne and kingdom was exalted as high as heaven itself. If the prophesy against Babylon is not clear enough in Isaiah, then look at Jeremiah 51:53-56. “Though Babylon should mount up to heaven, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet from Me shall spoilers come unto her, saith the LORD (YAHWAH). A sound of a cry cometh from Babylon, and great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans: Because the LORD (YAHWAH) hath spoiled Babylon, and destroyed out of her the great voice; when her waves do roar like great waters, a noise of their voice is uttered: Because the spoiler is come upon her, even upon Babylon, and her mighty men are taken, every one of their bows is broken: for the LORD (YAHWAH) God of recompences shall surely requite.” Even Daniel 4:28-37 records how YAHWAH did cast down the arrogant King of Babylon by turning him into a beast who was driven out to live in the fields.

The question now arises, “If Lucifer is a fraudulent fallacious fabrication, then from where did evil come?” This is very simple if you can grasp the concept that God is in control of ALL things, and that the Bible is true, for the answer is contained in it. Isaiah 45:7 says, “I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and CREATE EVIL: I the LORD (YAHWAH) do all these things.” There is nothing here about God passively ALLOWING evil. YAHWAH God is not a “go alonger with or allower of things”, but preforms ALL His plan which cannot be frustrated by any power in heaven or in earth, and certainly not by Christianism’s most sacred of all its golden calves, man’s free will. The flash of the blinding light of revelation is that not only did YAHWAH “create evil”, but also that He created the DEVIL the way he is, and no, he is not the mythical Churchism’s Lucifer, nor is he in rebellion against God, but is fulfilling and doing the very work he was created to do. If you want to know who the Devil is then read Revelation 12:9 which says, “And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.” The Devil was called Satan, was that old serpent, and is the great dragon. In the previous verse there are 4 different names given to a single entity and Lucifer is not one of them. This multiple named thing has never been any different than the way YAHWAH made him.

The great dragon, that old serpent, the Devil and Satan is not out of YAHWAH’S control, but was created for a purpose and is not in rebellion against God. If this is not understood, then it is time to look at the scriptures. The book of Job gives the following account. “Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD (YAHWAH), and Satan came also among them. And the LORD (YAHWAH) said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD (YAHWAH), and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.” (Job 1:6-7) Another similar event is recorded in Job 2:1-2. And “Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD (YAHWAH), and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD (YAHWAH). And the LORD (YAHWAH) said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered the LORD (YAHWAH), and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.” Even though these are two separate events God asks Satan the same question “whence comest thou?” Why would God ask him this? Did God not know where Satan had been or what he was doing? This was a reminder to Satan as to who was in charge because he had to give an account of what he had been doing, and where he was doing it. No one ever has to give an account except to a superior. This is not stated just to show who is in control, but this is also to give us understanding that God has assigned Satan a job to be performed in the earth. Pay attention to Satan’s answer. “From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.” Reread this however many times are necessary for it to sink in that Satan is confined to earth. “Going to and fro” and “walking up and down in it” is now his full time occupation. Earth is his habitation. The first and second chapters also point out the fact that God limited Satan in what he could and could not do to any individual during his work in earth.
These first two chapters in Job clearly show that there is no rebel answering YAHWAH’S questions, that there is no rebel that does as he pleases, and that there is no rebel at war with God, but quite the contrary Satan is in complete subjection to God. The great dragon, that old serpent, the Devil and Satan of Revelation 12:9 never had a “throne” nor said “I will be like the most High”. As taught in the scriptures, and as seen in Job chapters 1 and 2, Satan knows that he is subservient to YAHWAH. He IS what God made him, and he has the power and authority that God gave him, no more and no less. God created Satan with a very definite purpose, which Satan has and will fulfill, and it is in earth where he is confined to do it.

So next time your pastor is making the mistake please do well to eenlighten him, Thank You!

"Kate obong" wow!! I'm so perplexed at your writing skills, your essays are the best I've read so far since my teaching journey" the English teacher stammered trying to find the right words to suit his amazement
"What are you doing in a science class? You would make such a fine writer

"My..my pare.. I want to be a doctor uncle" that's why I'm in a science class" Kate trailed off. She knew telling uncle Sammy that her parents forced her to be in a science class would make the school authority to call her parents and try to persuade them to let her pursue her talent and that would spell doom for her

"Oh! Ok but you shouldn't let that talent go to waste, I would love to read one of your books someday" uncle Sammy encouraged.
He was a nice man and she wished she could confide in him but what if he's just like my father" she thought

"Katty afa na? You and Sam don dey run shows abi" it was her friend Abigail. She was probably the only person who made her smile

"Come make we go chop rice for mama sukirat place, hunger dey wire me" Abigail continued in pidgin English.
Their school was a semi completed building with three big rooms divided in six with plywood, it had another building opposite which serves as the administrative rooms and laboratories if you can call two cubicle rooms with just tables and chairs laboratories.
It was a private owned school but it was more suitable for training pigs than for learning.


Its was almost nine when they got home, mama k who owned a bar rarely closely early
"Kate oya go warm the soup and fetch water for me and your papa to baff" mama K shouted as she retired to one of the chairs in their two-room apartment

"She worked tirelessly fetching water from the next compound and preparing food for them to eat, this she did with the speed of light as wasting time would make beating "fall on her"

It was 10:30pm when she retired to bed, being an only child could be tiring. Before dozing off she said her usual prayers

"Lord make my parents love me

Some say death is the worst thing to happen to a man
But what about living but dead inside

"Oh God, if only you can make my parents love me" Kate sobbed quietly using her pillow as her wipe.

As a 14years old girl, she haven't known much happy days. Everyone would expect that the brilliant and beautiful young child would bring immense joy to the parents but they hold a resentment against her, a resentment Kate is yet to know.



"come here, who don dey touch this your breast" papa K said angrily as he squeezed the small buds growing out of Kate's chest
"She tried to resist but the slap that followed rendered her to her knees and he roughly carries her to the bed" it was his usual routine. It was roughly 5years ago since he forceful took her virginity

Some would say one's childhood is the best part of life but I wish I that was always true

"You are such a waste of time, a fool and a witch and I wish I had aborted you" mama shouted as she kept on pummeling Kate

"Ah ah wetin happen mama K? Wetin she do?" Amara a light skinned Igbo girl who was their neighbor rushed to the rescue of Kate who was already bruised all over with blood rushing down her nose

"You see this..this goat, this fowl dey talk back at me because she done dey follow big big prick" mama K managed to say in between short breaths

"Ah katty why na? Why u dey follow mummy run mouth na? You don forget say she be your mama" Amara scolded Kate

"Poor Kate, she tried to talk but was choked with tears. She had only refuted the accusation that she had something to do with Steven the next door neighbor when mama pounced on her making sure she was totally naked to the glaring eyes of the whole compound.

Sometimes she wondered if she was really her mother

Op I understand how hard it is to write, being a writer myself. But I think that u should have at least half of the story before indulging viewers. This very thing has made lose interest in the whole literature sections cos they keep delaying and the urge for the stories disappear and am sure it happens to others too

So please op, next time have at least half of the story first before posting, I know it's hard to write even for money talk less of writing for pleasure, great story u have here and I really don't want to lose interest
