"[Revelation2217] Lucifer, son of Dawn - A problematic identity ..."


 

I have a problem which I don’t know exactly what to do with.  It has only become a problem because I have done the unthinkable… I have examined the text.   I don’t know how to explain it except that I really really really wanted to know exactly what this verse was saying.    Which means that I have to place my personal biases on a shelf to examine the text to notice every nuance that may have been unnoticed.   The text I am examining is this one.

 

Isa 14:12

How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer,H1966 sonH1121 of the morning!H7837 [how] art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

 

We have associated the name, “Lucifer”, to Satan since the translation of the Latin Vulgate by Jerome in 405 AD.

 

The word, “Lucifer”, comes from two Latin words…  Lux (light) + ferrous (to bear or carry).

 

The Hebrew is Heylel Ben-Shachar.

 

Hebrew Strong’s # 1966 = Heylel  (translated Lucifer).

Hebrew Strong’s # 1121 = Ben (Son)

Hebrew Strong’s # 7837 = Shachar (of Dawn)

 

The Greek word that is translated from Heylel in the LXX is εωσφόρος (Heosphoros) meaning “Dawn-Bringer” though the word Φωσφόρος (Phosphoros) meaning “Light-Bringer” corresponds exactly to the Latin word, Lucifer (Light-Bringer).

 

Here is the problem.   The Greek Strong’s # 5459 = Φωσφόρος (Phosphoros) Latin (Lucifer) appears in the New Testament:

 

2Pet 1:19

We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day starG5459 arise in your hearts:

 

Here it is in the Latin Vulgate…

 

2 Pet 1:19   "...donec dies elucescat et lucifer oriatur in cordibus vestris."

 

The question is… WHO is Heylel Ben Shachar?

 

First off, you should notice that the words are not…  Ben HaShachar meaning “Son of the dawn”, but rather “Son of Dawn” as if “Shachar” (Dawn) was a the name that gave birth to “Heylel”.

 

Even more surprising is that the Hebrew Gematria of Heylel Ben Shachar = 635.

 

Hebrew Strong’s # 635 = Esther

 

We know that the book of Esther is called the book of the “Hidden Face of God” by the Jews because God is never mentioned.   You have to “notice” God if you wish to see Him at work in the book of Esther.  Thus Purim is celebrated with masks because of the hiddenness of God.   But at the same time, when God is “hidden”, Satan can mislead someone into a lie.   Satan has no power in the light of truth, but if he can keep your heart blinded of the truth, he has power.

 

The Hebrew word, Heylel, is a descriptive name that has meaning.   Like Judah that means “Praise”, Heylel also means “Praise” from:

 

Hebrew Strong’s #  1984 = halal (Praise)

 

Halal is the root of the word, “Hallelujah”.  Halal does have wide range of meaning, both good and negative.   On the negative side it is Boasting, Rage, Foolish, and Mad which is a description of his actions in the next verse.

 

Isa 14:13

For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

Isa 14:14

I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

 

To give you a hint of the richness of the text….

 

I will ascendH5927 into heaven,H8064 = 5927 + 8064 = 13991

 

Webster’s Word # 13991 = DEATH'WARD, adv. Toward death.

 

Verse # 13991 = 17111 Verses from the End

Ps 6:5

For in death [there is] no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?

 

Webster’s Word # 17111 = Doom

 

You should notice that the following verse is:

 

BCV (Book Chapter Verse) # 1966 

Ps 6:6

I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.

 

Hebrew Strong’s # 1966 = Heylel (Lucifer)

 

Let’s look at the Hebrew word more closely…

 

הילל  =  Heylel

You will see the similarity to the word…

 

הלל = Halal (Praise)

I am going to suggest one other possibility that sometimes gets noted.

 

Hebrew Strong’s # 3213 = yalal (to howl, wail)

Hebrew Strong’s # 3214 = yalal (a howling or one that howls)

 

ילל =  yalal  (a howling)

The ה in front of the word would denote the definite article.

 

הילל  =  The Howling, The Wailing

 

We see this scripture in the intersection….

 

3214 Verses from Malachi 4:6

Jer 39:7

Moreover he put out Zedekiah's eyes, and bound him with chains, to carry him to Babylon.

 

Notice that….

 

Webster’s Word # 13991 = DEATH'WARD, adv. Toward death.

 

… is the reverse of the this verse number….

 

Verse # 19931

Jer 39:7

Moreover he put out Zedekiah's eyes, and bound him with chains, to carry him to Babylon.

 

We do see in Chapter 14, the Hebrew Strong’s # 3213 = yalal (to howl, wail)

 

 

5185 Verses from Malachi 4:6 = 13142 Verses from the End

Isa 14:31

Howl,H3213 O gate; cry, O city; thou, whole Palestina, [art] dissolved: for there shall come from the north a smoke, and none [shall be] alone in his appointed times.

 

Notice the relationship to the following…

 

Greek Strong’s # 5185 = Blind

Greek Strong’s # 3142 = witness

 

When I saw what the abomination of desolation was which I have spoken before about, I saw bitter weeping, and uncontained crying at the desolation.

 

The question is, is Heylel the one who is howling, or is he the one who causes the howling?   I think it would be safe to say that Heylel Ben-Shachar (Heylel, son of Dawn) is the one who causes the desolation.

 

13157 Verses from the End

Isa 14:16

They that see thee shall narrowly lookH7688 upon thee, [and] consider thee, [saying, Is] this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;

 

The Hebrew Strong’s # 7688 = narrowly look indicates pretty much the same thing I am doing right now.  You might say that it is a peering look, or piercing look.  You might call it a full scale investigation of what is written.  The position also indicates…

 

Webster’s Word # 13157 = Criticalness

 

I noticed something…

 

Isa 14:13

For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

 

 

Webster’s Word # 36326 = North

 

If we remove Ben Shachar (son of Dawn) from the “North”, we find…

 

36326 (North) – (1121 + 7837) (son of Dawn) = 27368

 

If you don’t recognize, 27368, you should notice this is the SAME person that I have written of before discretely that causes the Abomination of Desolation.   It is the number that is the count of each letter in the phrase, “… to destroy the LORD’s anointed”.

 

http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/aug2011/wadeb823.htm

 

What is interesting, which I just now realized, is that I began that letter speaking of:

 

Webster’s Vol 2 Word # 15338 = SH'ARP-SIGHTED, a. [sharp and sight.]

1. Having quick or acute sight; as a sharp-sighted eagle or hawk.

2. Having quick discernment or acute understanding; as a sharp-sighted opponent; sharp-sighted judgement.

 

… which corresponds directly to:

 

Hebrew Strong’s # 7688 = narrowly look

 

If we use Hebrew Strong’s # 3214 = “The” howling, son of Dawn (H1121 H7837)

 

3214 + 1121 + 7837 = 12172

 

We see…

 

Webster’s Vol 1 Word # 12172 = Convicted

Webster’s Vol 2 Word # 12172 = Research

 

Research is another description of a full scale investigation that you would have when someone is “Narrowly Looking” at you.   We also see:

 

12172 Verses from the End

Isa 66:7

Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child.

 

An obvious connection to…

 

Rev 12:5

And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and [to] his throne.

 

By definition,….

 

LU'CIFER, n. [L. lux, lucis, light, and fero, to bring.]
1. The planet Venus, so called from its brightness.

2. Satan.  -  And when he falls, he falls like Lucifer, never to hope again.

 

In my mind, when I think of the name, “Lucifer”, I think ONLY of Satan.   I have a hard time thinking of any positive meaning that the name once had that described the beauty of the light.  I only think of this description.

 

2Cor 11:14

And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angelG32 of light.G5457

 

In other words, “Lucifer” is a masquerade of Satan, the same as “Christ” is the masquerade of the antichrist.  But, for the record, I have no intention of using the title of Lucifer and Christ interchangeably.   But, there is evidence in scripture that the title, “Lucifer”, does have a positive meaning everywhere that it is used.

 

First, notice the verse number…

 

Verse # 17941

Isa 14:12

How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer,H1966 sonH1121 of the morning!H7837 [how] art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

 

Webster’s Word # 17941 = Eden

 

Eden wasn’t a bad place, until Satan came and lied.   When man bit into the lie, he lost his way to the tree of life.

 

Ezek 28:13

Thou hast been in EdenH5731 the garden of God; every precious stone [was] thy 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 thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.

 

Ezek 28:13 is often associated with Satan.

 

Webster’s Vol 1 Word # 26054 = Hidden

Webster’s Vol 2 Word # 26054 = Venus

 

Yet notice that the light of the “Morning Star” is Christ.

 

Verse # 26054

John 1:9

[That] was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

 

The TRUE LIGHT is from the WORD of GOD.   Thus we can see the true meaning…

 

2Pet 1:19

We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day starG5459 arise in your hearts:

 

Obviously this is not a bait and switch.   This is not rotten filth masquerading as something beautiful, but a true light, and true beauty.   Both whoredom and marriage would appear virtually the same, except only one is truly beautiful.  The other only pretends to be.   One IS love.  The other masquerades as love.

 

Can you tell the difference between what IS light, and what masquerades as light?

 

Greek Strong’s # 5459 = day star (Greek: Phosphorous)

 

Hebrew Strong’s # 5459 = peculiar treasure, jewels

 

Verse # 2032

Exod 19:5

Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasureH5459 unto me above all people: for all the earth [is] mine:  Gematria = 5185

 

The verse number points to…

 

Greek Strong’s # 2032 = Heaven

 

… yet the weight points to…

 

Greek Strong’s # 5185 = Blind

 

2Cor 3:14

But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which [vail] is done away in Christ.

 

How many people can see Heaven when they read the scripture?   The veil on the heart is the reason that Satan has any power at all.   He is bound when the true light of Christ is revealed.
