Bible Person

Lucifer

Meaning: bringing light · Male · 1 cross reference

This Lucifer entry is the taunt-title applied to the king of Babylon in Isaiah 14:12, not a personal biography in the usual sense. It belongs to prophetic poetry describing arrogant earthly power brought low by God. First appears in Isa 14:12.1

AI summary: This Lucifer matters because his single cross reference concentrates Isaiah's mockery of imperial pride into a vivid image of fallen brilliance. The entry serves the prophecy's wider point that no ruler can sustain self-exalting glory against the judgment of God. Taken together, the material presents Lucifer as a poetic title within Isaiah's oracle against Babylon.1
