But I googled it. So here are some passages. http://www.antelope-ebooks.com/RELIGIOUS/angels01.html
Ezek. 28:15 tells us that Lucifer was perfect in his ways from the day that he was created, until iniquity was found in him.
Isa. 14:12-14 "How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, You who weakened the nations! For you have said in your heart: I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation on the farthest side of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High." LUCIFER - THE COVERING CHERUB
Consider what God says in Ezek. 28:12-15. He is here talking about Lucifer in earlier times, before sin was found in him."You were the seal of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. You were in the Garden of Eden, the garden of God; Every precious stone was your covering: The sardius, topaz, and diamond, Beryl, onyx, and jasper, Sapphire, turquoise, and emerald with gold. The workmanship of your timbrels and pipes was prepared for you on the day you were created. You were the anointed cherub who covers; I established you; You were on the holy mountain of God; You walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones."
What does God mean, the anointed cherub who covers? In Exodus 25 God described His throne to Moses, who was to make a physical representation of it. Verses 18-20 "And you shall make two cherubim of gold; of hammered work you shall make them at the two ends of the mercy seat. Make one cherub at one end, and the other cherub at the other end; you shall make the cherubim at the two end of it on one piece with the mercy seat. And the cherubim shall stretch out their wings above, covering the mercy seat with their wings, and they shall face one another; the faces of the cherubim shall be toward the mercy seat."
Notice that the wings of the cherubims were to cover the mercy seat. Lucifer, apparently, had, at one time, the awesome privilege and responsibility of being established, or placed, by his Creator at the very throne of God! http://www.angelfire.com/mi/dinosaurs/lucifer.html Who was Lucifer?
Lucifer was the Anointed Cherub. Anointed means to be set apart for Gods Divine purpose. It also means "bestowal of Gods divine favor", and "appointment to a special place or function." God had given Satan a certain amount of power and authority. But he perverted that power. Lucifer wanted to exalt himself above God... rather than "just" being the Angel of God.
Would it help to know it is also far and away hotter in heaven than in hell? |
Ezekiel 28 is about the King of Tyre
Ezekiel 28
A Prophecy Against the King of Tyre
1 The word of the LORD came to me: 2 "Son of man, say to the ruler of Tyre, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says:
" 'In the pride of your heart
you say, "I am a god;
I sit on the throne of a god
in the heart of the seas."
But you are a man and not a god,
though you think you are as wise as a god.
3 Are you wiser than Daniel [a] ?
Is no secret hidden from you?

A Prophecy Against the King of Tyre | From that angelfire website.
Ezekiel 28:12 (KJV) “Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.” 13 Thou hast been in Eden 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. 14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.”
This is not an earthly king, as the word "cherub" is only used in references to angels. 15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. 16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
The word "covering" is from the Hebrew word cakak, and means: to entwine, to fence in, cover over, protect, defend, hedge in, (source "The complete word study Old Testament")
Was Lucifer’s job to protect the very earth he corrupted? Was this one of his duties that gave him so much pride? 17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. 0 18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; 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.
It is accepted that the chapter is about Lucifer after all if you had of read the chapter it says the King ofd Tyra was a cherub and was there when the universe and eden were created. All the bible sites I looked at about it atribute that chapter to Lucifer. May Chaos Be Visited Upon You.

you need to visit Jewish sources and sources from historians not christians who put Jesus into everything and most christians don't know hebrew:
14. You were a cherub of great measure, that covers, and I gave that to you; you were on the mount of the sanctuary of God: you walked among stones of fire.
You are a cherub of great measure, that covers You are a bird of measure, i.e., the huge bird that covers a large area with his wings; i.e., you rule over a large dominion. מִמְשַּׁח is a word for largeness, like (Num. 13:32): “men of stature (אַנְשֵּׁי מִדוֹת).” which is translated into Aramaic as גַבְרֵי דְמִשְּׂחָן.
and I gave that to you; you were on the mount of the sanctuary of God and I gave you a place to acquire a name for yourself in the edifice of the mountain of My sanctuary, for you assisted Solomon with the cedar wood.
you walked among stones of fire You acquired for yourself a memorial with the kings of Israel, who are like the ministering angels
did Lucifer assisted Solomon with cedar wood when he was building the first temple in Jerusalem?
the origins of this Lucifer myth
Lucifer was originally a Latin word meaning "light-bearer" (from lux, "light", and ferre, "to bear, bring"), a Roman astrological term for the "Morning Star", the planet Venus. The word Lucifer was the direct translation of the Greek eosphorus ("dawn-bearer"; cf. Greek phosphorus, "light-bearer") used by Jerome in the Vulgate. In that passage, Isaiah 14:12, it referred to one of the popular honorific titles of a Babylonian king; however, later interpretations of the text, and the influence of embelishments in works such as Dante's The Divine Comedy and Milton's Paradise Lost, led to the common idea in Christian mythology and folklore that Lucifer was a poetic appellation of Satan.
Biblical origins
In the Vulgate, an early-5th-century translation of the Bible into Latin by Jerome, Lucifer occurs in Isaiah 14:12-14 as a translation of the Greek word heosphorus ("dawn-bearer"), an epithet of Venus. The original Hebrew text of this verse was הילל בן שחר (heilel ben-schahar), meaning "Venus, son of the morning" or "Venus, the brilliant one", a poetic epithet of the king of Babylon, comparable to many other titles used by kings throughout history, such as Louis XIV of France being called Le Roi Soleil ("The Sun King"). In Isaiah, this title is specifically used, in a prophetic vision, to reference the king of Babylon's pride and to illustrate his eventual fate by referencing mythological accounts of the planet Venus:
14:4 And you shall bear this parable against the king of Babylon, and you shall say, "How has the dominator ceased, has ceased the haughty one!
14:10 All of them shall speak up and say to you, 'Have you too become weak like us? Have you become like us?'
14:11 Your pride has been lowered into Gehinnom, the stirring of your psalteries. Maggots are spread under you, and worms cover you.
14:12 How have you fallen from heaven, Lucifer, the morning star? You have been cut down to earth, You who cast lots on nations.
(Isaiah, Judaica Press Tanakh)
The Jewish Encyclopedia reports that "it is obvious that the prophet in attributing to the Babylonian king boastful pride, followed by a fall, borrowed the idea from a popular legend connected with the morning star".[1] However, this metaphorical "falling from the heavens" was later misinterpreted as a literal fall from heaven when the passage's original meaning was made opaque by retranslations and eventually forgotten.
Later Jewish tradition, influenced by Babylonian mythology acquired during the Babylonian captivity, elaborates on the fall of the angels under the leadership of Samhazai ("the heaven-seizer") and Azael (Enoch, book vi.6f). Another legend, in the midrash, represents the repentant Samhazai suspended star-like between heaven and earth instead of being hurled down to Sheol.
The Helel-Lucifer (i.e. Venus) myth was later transferred to Satan, as evidenced by the 1st-century pseudepigraphical text Vita Adae et Evae (12), where the Adversary gives Adam an account of his early career,[2] and the Slavonic Book of Enoch (xxix. 4, xxxi. 4), where Satan-Sataniel (Samael?) is also described as a former archangel. Because he contrived "to make his throne higher than the clouds over the earth and resemble 'My power' on high", Satan-Sataniel was hurled down, with his hosts of angels, to fly in the air continually above the abyss.

That is all well and good but Lucifer being a Christian myth has nothing to do with Judism, otherwise they would be the same religion. May Chaos Be Visited Upon You. | |

Yes but Christian religion is very different than Jewish, after all the editing and mistranslation and the common meaning drift by translating a translation of a translation, Christianity's version is much different than theirs.
I mean we all know their is evidence that shows that the Creation myth si most likely a rip off of Babylonian myth, we know that there are alot of common factors in Christianity and the worship of Mythras. But it is a important difference, Christian believe in the Christian myths, Jews believe in the Jewish myths, not all of them are the same.
Lucifer is a soley Christian myth. Jesus is a Christian myth so moving on. May Chaos Be Visited Upon You. | |

satan was a cherub, not just your "regular" angel, he was one closest to God, but one of the beautiful things about God is that He gave all beings (angels are created beings) free will, and so satan chose to depart from God, and he is certainly real, believe in him because satan definitely believes in you! | |

Lucifer is a soley Christian myth. Jesus is a Christian myth so moving on. | actually he's got a point, i've been recently studying aspects of religious demonology, and each distinct religion has it's own version of the heavenly hosts an their fallen counterparts...they even can't unify on the fact if they're female and male, or strictly male that utilze the female form to tempt and seduce.
there's christian demonology(all male) and then there's islam, judaism and zoroastrianism demonology(both sexes)and more kinfolk than anything the christians came up with...however influenced they may have been by judaism.
actually scholars believe that judaism received their version of demonolgoy influenced by zoroastrianism, an even older form of religion. To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. | |

a couple of things, yes satan was a fallen angel whose angelic name is Satanial. As for Lucifer, he does not exist. It was the fault of the greeks that created Luicifer as his name appears no where in the original version of the bible. The translation from hebrew to Greek was messed up and Lucifer was created. the actual translation would have been howl not lucifer. You can look at it as a metaphor for the fleeting nature of human life, or just chalk it up to my being a sick, bloodthirsty monster. Either way, it's all the same.

Yeah. As far as I heard "Satanial" Was the term for the 10th chorus of angels. So it was more a rank than a name.
However, I still find this thread bizarre. Satan is a product of the Judaeo-Christian mythos. The bible states he was a "fallen" angel. So of course, he is/was.
If you mean is the corporeal existance of a divine evil the christian one, or is there is an actual evil entity, that is a different question. To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.

Satanial is listed as Satans true angelic name in the Book of Enoch You can look at it as a metaphor for the fleeting nature of human life, or just chalk it up to my being a sick, bloodthirsty monster. Either way, it's all the same.
