| If I ever heard an Old Testament story once, I | | | | up his throne to this usurper, simply threw him |
| have heard this one told ten thousand times. It | | | | back down to the earth, or apparently so at least |
| comes from Isaiah 14.12 "How art thou fallen | | | | as we look on the horizon. After that rather |
| from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how | | | | unsuccessful endeavor the dethrone God Most |
| art thou cut down to the ground, which didst | | | | High, we get stuck with him as Satan |

| the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the | | | | most part. Forever more, we can say, "Satan |
| north:14 I will ascend above the heights of the | | | | made me do it." You know, the bright and |
| clouds; I will be like the most High.15 Yet thou | | | | morning star that tried to become God but lost.It |

| pit.16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon | | | | century who mistranslated the Hebraic metaphor, |
| thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man | | | | "Day star, son of the Dawn," as "Lucifer," and |
| that made the earth to tremble, that did shake | | | | over the centuries an evolution of ideas took |
| kingdoms;"This story was THE proof that Satan | | | | place. Lucifer the morning star became a |
| used to be one of God's good guys and then all | | | | disobedient angel, cast out of heaven to rule |
| of a sudden, one day decided to be take over | | | | eternally in hell mostly waiting for all Non-Catholics, |
| everything and knock God off His throne. Local | | | | but later all Non-Protestants too. Now the Church |
| boy goes bad I guess. Well Satan, which term is | | | | had it's Prince of the Power of the Air, the Prince |
| never mentioned here, former Light Bringer which | | | | of Darkness, the God of this world, The Roaring |
| is what Lucifer means, is now the Prince of | | | | Lion, the Fallen Angel, the former Day star |
| Darkness and the rest is history.What's really | | | | (because if you know where to look, Venus can |
| going on with this story. Did you know that you | | | | even be seen in the daytime)...gone bad.Interesting |
| see this drama literally take place multiple | | | | enough, even Jesus, well the Jesus of Revelation |
| mornings and evenings of the year. Did you know | | | | who bears no likeness to the Jesus of the |
| that even to this day, this Lucifer is mistaken for | | | | Gospels, identifies himself as the morning star, a |
| UFOs or landing lights! Jesus said he saw Satan fall | | | | term used as a central theme in many Christian |
| as lightening from heaven as did millions then and | | | | sermons. Jesus refers to himself as the morning |
| billions today if you know where to look. It's a | | | | star in Revelation 22:16: "I Jesus have sent mine |
| very old story based on a very real observation | | | | angel to testify unto you these things in the |
| by humans who made up a story about what | | | | churches. I am the root and the offspring of |
| they did not understand at the time.First of all, | | | | David, and the bright and morning star."So here |
| let's understand that Isaiah 14 is really not about a | | | | we have it. Humans could never quite explain why |
| Satan the Devil as he has evolved into over the | | | | this bright "star" we know as the planet Venus, |
| history of the Church. A scripture can never | | | | preceeded the morning Sun as if to announce it's |
| mean what it never meant, and this principle | | | | arrival, but then crashed back to earth. Very |
| applies to Isaiah 14 for sure. In the original Hebrew | | | | strange! Let's make up a story! This bright light, an |
| text, the 14th chapter of Isaiah is not about a | | | | Angel, the Lightbringer and minor deity compared |
| fallen angel, but about a fallen Babylonian king, who | | | | to the SUN, really went bad and decided to knock |
| had persecuted the children of Israel. Later in the | | | | the SUN GOD, and later the SON of GOD, off the |
| context we see he was a man, who died. Now | | | | throne, which is where the SUN rises to when it |
| we often hear that this was a "type" but that's | | | | becomes the MOST HIGH at NOON. God, not |
| slippery ground mostly. Metaphor maybe, but not | | | | putting up with that, simply threw Lucifer, now |
| a type, where we can change a man into a | | | | Satan or the Destroyer, back down to earth |
| Lucifer and then Lucifer into Satan, never | | | | where he belongs and humans can get stuck with |
| mentioned, and then the whole thing into how | | | | him until the SON of the SUN God comes back to |
| Satan came to be the God of this world so send | | | | destroy the works of the Light Bringer now gone |
| in your tithes and be safe with us. "In the Hebrew | | | | dark. Great story! In Isaiah 14, this haughty king |
| text the expression used to describe the | | | | was acting just like that in thinking he could knock |
| Babylonian king before his death is "Helal, son of | | | | Israel out of the picture, he lost, was thrown |
| Shahar", which can best be translated as "Day | | | | down and died, just like that planet Venus every |
| star, son of the Dawn." The name evokes the | | | | morning. So don't mess with God's chosen ones!19 |

| astrotheology is called the place of the "Most High" | | | | of what happens to humans, not Angels or |
| or plainly put for us today, NOON! Noon is God's | | | | mini-gods.It's interesting, Venus also rises evenings |

| "Lightbringer" went before God, the Most | | | | falls back to earth too. Perhaps Satan just coming |

| and even the Bible speaks of God as "the most | | | | even the Most High Sun goes every night, in |
| High", one can see the deeper meaning that hints | | | | Eqyptian history to challenge "SET" God of the |

| Venus proved to be an enigma for mankind. It's | | | | Venus early in the morning when you drive to |
