Song: "Lucifer Between Us"
Album: "Rectal Hidden Tracks - 2002"

Lucifer is a Latin word meaning "light bearer" (from lux, lucis, "light", and ferre, "to bear, bring"), a Roman astrological term for the "Morning Star" the planet Venus. The word Lucifer was the translation of the Septuagint Greek heosphoros, ("dawn-bearer"; cf. Greek phosphoros, "light-bearer"; itself the translation of the Hebrew Helel ben Shahar, Son of Dawn), used by Jerome in the Vulgate, having mythologically the same meaning as Prometheus who brought fire to humanity.
Passage 14:12 from the Book of Isaiah referred to one of the popular honorific titles of a Babylonian king; however, later interpretations of the text, and the influence of embellishments in works such as Dante's Inferno and Milton's Paradise Lost, led to the common interpretation in Christian belief that Lucifer was a poetic appellation of Satan.
Modern and late Medieval Christian thought derived from this interpretation the idea that Lucifer is a fallen angel who is Satan, the embodiment of evil and an enemy of God. In Christian literature and legend, Lucifer is generally considered to have been a prominent archangel in heaven, although Book of Ezekiel 28:14 says: "You were the anointed cherub who covers, And I placed you there." In the fully-developed theme of "The War of Heaven", Lucifer had been motivated by pride to lead a revolution against God. When the rebellion failed, Lucifer was cast out of heaven, along with a third of the heavenly host, and came to reside in the world.
Many modern Christians have followed tradition and equated "Lucifer" with Satan, or the Devil. The King James Version of the Bible, which has been enormously influential in the English speaking world for several centuries, retains the reference in Isaiah 14:12. In addition, a parallel description of Lucifer's fall is thought to be found in Ezekiel chapter 28 ("A Prophecy Against the King of Tyre"), which contains a lament over an "anointed cherub" who was in the "holy mountain of God". He is described as "perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee." The passage goes on to describe this being's expulsion from the "mount of God", apparently because his "heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness." Afterwards the passage describes the eventual fate of this corrupted cherub: "therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more."
There is dispute between the accurate translations in Ezekiel 28 concerning who is being addressed and the description of the address itself. At-khĕruwb (את-כרוב) [Above Hebraic translation of "Thou [art] the cherub") breaks gender violations in the written language. Ath, as it is used in the previous translation, is feminine as a pronoun; while kĕruwb is a masculine noun. Ath can also be used as a genderless direct object of a verb, yielding its objective form. For these reasons, some translations interpret this passage as "The cherub I created for you (King of Tyre)." This distinguishes the fall of the man who was protected, and brought to great wealth by God's graces and overseeing hand (given the cherub he was appointed), from the cherub. In this translation, God's wrath was directed at the man who gave up his perfection for commerce and self-ratified intelligence. The cherub was both the agent of protection for the King and also facilitated the destruction of him. On the same platform, the use of Eden (עדן) as a proper noun is argued to be out of context, and most likely takes the descriptive form: pleasure, luxury, or delight.
In addition to Isaiah and Ezekiel, various Old Testament scriptures referring to occult powers such as witchcraft, more theological details about fallen angels can be found in the Pseudepigrapha, which are generally not considered canon. In the book of Job, Satan, who has been wandering the earth, has a discussion with God and makes a deal with him regarding Job, the terms of which change in increments throughout the story of Job.

    bla bla bla bla bla... you're just another poor christian mind.

  • Cynthia, I wouldn't worry about language variations or meanings, because God ordained the meanings into Old English for a purpose, and is an inspired book of Truth by the Holy Spirit of God. What it says, is what it means. It explains itself by itself. My Holy Father, God does not want anyone to intellectualize HIm. Man's understanding without the Holy Spirit to guide him is worthless and meaningless. Only the Holy Spirit can teach the true meanings, for the book is spiritually discerned, on;y.

  • @Jocaxiano Your soul is without sight. You are dead in your sins, your soul is dead, you are dead. Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth and the LIght if God. He is a historic figure, even in the pagan book of josephus, but moreover He is God incarnate, and without sin,. the Lamb of God. Your and my righteousness is as filthy puss ridden rags to the God of creation. You better repent cause Jesus is coming to take back His planet in your lifetime very soon. I am a messenger of my Holy Father God.

    spirit, body and mind go togheter and fire, wind, water and earth.

    Spirit, fire, water, wind and earth have never been used by any any religious group.

    Stop making stuff up.

    Satan is also not evil to the ones who beliebe he is not.

    Satanism figures as a bucolic, pacific religion, based exactly in the 5 elements that "Satan created". Satan have a pentagram in his head in most pictures, not to make pagan symbols to apear "bad", but because some people believe that Satan is God.... Well, by looking to the news it seems so, but also such Satan waqs to be "good" so maybe that people are just as "wrong" as the christians...

  • lucifer is hiding behind a religion watch this video by walid shoebat satan and islam

  • Satan is also a creation an Angel. And is without likely one beautiful looking creature, although he is the great deceiver and trys constantly to blind us from the things that are true. ( Christ said - I am the truth the life and the way ) I know im a sinner an im going to take his word for it, salvation sounds sweet and ill put my trust in him ( Jesus )

  • I think Lucipher could be the king of fearies, or father of them, and Diana or the moon there mother in one aspect.

  • MOTHERFUCKERS=SATAN DISCIPLES.
