Who is Lucifer?
LU'CIFER
This word, signifying "light-giver," occurs but once in our Bible, Isa 14:12, and is then applied to the king of Babylon to indicate his glory as that of a morning star, or, figuratively, "a son of the morning." Tertullian and some others suppose the passage to relate to the fall of Satan, and hence the term is now usually applied in that way, though, as it seems, without sufficient warrant.
