In Isaiah 14 & Ezekiel 28, we see prophecies that seem to be referring to the King of Babylon (Nimrod) and the Prince of Tyre. But even though in these two prophecies, an earthly king is being described, we know from reading Daniel 10 that for every “ground prince” there is a ruling demon prince (a principality) or a fallen angel. Hence the fallen one spoken of in Isaiah 14 & Ezekiel 28 is indeed Satan who also possessed Nimrod and the Prince of Tyre. There is a very close similarity to Isaiah 14 & Ezekiel 28 that shows us that these prophecies are about Satan himself as well as the earthly vessels who were being used to carry out his evil plans. Let us examine these two prophecies in the Authorized King James Version. I have updated the archaic words and restored the sacred names in the KJV verses below:

YeshaYaHuW (Isaiah) 14:
13 For you have said in your heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of Elohiym: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
Yechezqel (Ezekiel )28:
1 The word of YHWH came again unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus says YHWH Elohiym; Because your heart is lifted up, and you have said, I am an Elohiym, I sit in the seat of Elohiym, in the midst of the seas; yet you are a man, and not Elohiym, though you set your heart as the heart of Elohiym:
What we see here in Ezekiel 28 is that the Prince of Tyrus was seen in the Garden of Eden:
12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus says YHWH Elohiym; You seal up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
13 You have been in Eden the garden of Elohiym; every precious stone was your covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of your tabrets and of your pipes was prepared in you in the day that you were created.
14 You are the anointed cherub that covers; and I have set you so: you were upon the holy mountain of Elohiym you have walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
15 You were perfect in your ways from the day that you were created, till iniquity was found in you.
And so we see that the Prince of Tyrus (possessed by Satan) was also the one who possessed the Prince of Babylon as well. That is why Ezekiel said that he was in the Garden of Eden! And so this prophecy in Isaiah 14 is about Satan as well as Nimrod whose body was being used as a “host” to carry out the evil schemes of the kingdom of darkness. Hence the name Lucifer is just a name that means “light bringer.” The Hebrew term “Heylel Ben Shachar” means “son of the morning” which indicates that he was just a “son” (a created being) and that the Messiah (the morning star) created him. The Greek Septuagint inaccurately translates this as “morning star” insinuating that it was YaHuW’shuwa who fell from heaven (the bright and morning star in Revelation 22:16. The Greek Septuagint translates this as if it said “Boker Kokab” (Morning Star) in Hebrew but it does not say this. Many people get confused over this verse and they begin to question the identity of our Messiah.
I have seen Orthodox Jews use the Septuagint to convert people away from our Messiah with this one verse from the Septuagint! That is why I use the Hebrew Masoretic Text. Constantine hired Eusebeus (a bishop of Caesarea) in the 3rd Century to make 50 Bibles for him in Latin Vulgate and instead of using the original Hebrew TaNaKh (Old Testament), he used the Greek Septuagint which was actually transcribed by Clement of Alexandria & Origen who were both Gnostics. They did not believe that YaHuW’shuwa is YaHuWaH in the flesh, so they removed the verses that they did not like from the Hebrew text when forming the Septuagint.
The Septuagint did not go into print until the 2nd Century A.D. (contrary to popular belief). The Vatican has propagated a lie (in order to defend the Catholic Bible’s legitimacy) and they make all scholars in their Jesuit propaganda believe that the Septuagint pre-dates our Messiah. But this is a lie. The Septuagint only goes back to 2nd Century Gnosticism. Here is evidence based on a letter from a man named Aristeas that shows that the historic events mentioned in this letter did not happen until the 2nd Century proving that the Septuagint is a Gnostic Conspiracy Hoax in order to discredit the deity of our Messiah:
And so the name Lucifer (although it was added to the text) is just another way of calling Satan a fallen star or a fallen angel. The Hebrew text does not use the Latin name Lucifer, but the word Heylel in Hebrew does mean the same thing as does Lucifer in Latin which is “light bringer.”
The Apostle Sha’ul said that Satan can transform himself as an “angel of light” (2nd Corinthians 11:14).The brightest star in our solar system is the sun which is why Malachi’s prophecy calls the Messiah “the sun of righteousness.” Satan wants to be the brightest star (the sun) or “the morning star” and so he has tricked people into sun-god worship. They worship the created object of the sun instead of the one who created the sun (Messiah). We know that Satan was like one of the stars before his fall because Messiah told us this:
Luke 10:18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
In the final analysis, I believe that Lucifer or “light bringer” (Heylel) is just a generic name that means that Satan can transform himself as an “angel of light” but he is now a fallen angel. He has no light left in him. He is trying to portray himself as such but he is fallen. And his hosts such as Nimrod the King of Babylon and the Prince of Tyrus are human vessels through which he operated.
