Is lucifer a name the Bible uses for satan?

Lucifer was an angel that resided as one of the ArchAngels in Heaven alongside Gabriel, Michael, Uriel and others. He was God's favourite and was the most beautiful of them all - Much like Venus, who is also the morning star. The planet, Venus, was actually called Lucifer for a while because of it appeared as such a beautiful star in the morning sky. Lucifer literally translates into "Morning Star" and also "Light Giver".

So, continuing on the story, Lucifer was an angel and a really bright, beautiful, powerful one. Greater than even Michael and closer than any other to God.

As Venus tries to be the brightest thing in the sky, however, so did Lucifer. His pride got the better of him, in which ways is how the story differs.

All of this is explained in Revelations, except he is known as the Dragon, here. It is said he will fight against Michael, alongside the other fallen angels - Which Lucifer is confirmed of being, as you can see in the verse you gave.

So, like Jesus is (though not with as many), Lucifer is given many names in the bible because he is a very important character throughout Creation. It is important not to mix up devils in general and the Devil.

In Corinthians, it is mentioned how the Lucifer "disguises himself as an angel of light", likely alluding to his fallen status and how he tries to use that to his advantage.

Satanists and Occultists have accepted this as his name, though I'm not sure if that's really all that convincing.

There are also several books of the Apocrapha that mention Lucifer and Satan as being the same person, however, you must be careful with these as many are basically ancient versions of the DeVinci Code. Some, like the Book of Enoch, are actually reliable and you can look to them for more information on angels such as Lucifer.

In conclusion, yes. Lucifer is the name used for Satan in the bible alongside The Devil, the Dragon, the Serpent and the Leviathan. Other names that are a bit more controversal are The Demon Of Sinful Pride, Beelzebub, Beliel and Beliar.

No.

Christians have for some reason identified Lucifer (Latin: Light Bearer) with Satan. Lucifer was applied to Venus as it appeared as the Morning Star. But Christians seem to see the fall of Satan in Isaiah 14:12, "How you are fallen from heaven, O Day Star (Lucifer), son of Dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, you who laid the nations low!" But if you read Isaiah 14:3 onwards, you'll see that the passage is a taunt against the King of Babylon. And Ezekiel 28 is about the Prince of Tyre, not the devil or any other angel or demon.

Some make the case that Jesus is Lucifer. Revelation 22:16 says, "I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star."

No. It is actually a reference tot he Babylonian dynasty, and, 'Lucifer' is not the most commonly used word used . . .

"The name Lucifer occurs once in the Scriptures and only in *some* versions of the Bible.

For example, the King James Version renders Isaiah 14:12:

- “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!”

"The Hebrew word translated “Lucifer” means “shining one.”

The Septuagint uses the Greek word that means “bringer of dawn.”

Hence, some translations render the original Hebrew “morning star” or “Daystar.”

But Jerome’s Latin Vulgate uses “Lucifer” (light bearer), and this accounts for

the appearance of that term in various versions of the Bible.

"The expression “shining one,” or “Lucifer,” is found in what Isaiah prophetically commanded the Israelites to pronounce as a “proverbial saying against the **king of Babylon**.”

"Thus, it is part of a saying primarily directed at the **Babylonian dynasty**. . ."

The article goes on to show why it is **obviously not** a spirit that is referred to by the name:

Satan is the devil. Which is also Lucifer before he fell.

Yes, Lucifer is a name of Satan, among others.

Is Lucifer a name that the Bible uses for Satan?

The name Lucifer occurs once in the Scriptures and only in some versions of the Bible. For example, the King James Version renders Isaiah 14:12: “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!”

The Hebrew word translated “Lucifer” means “shining one.” The Septuagint uses the Greek word that means “bringer of dawn.” Hence, some translations render the original Hebrew “morning star” or “Daystar.” But Jerome’s Latin Vulgate uses “Lucifer” (light bearer), and this accounts for the appearance of that term in various versions of the Bible.

Who is this Lucifer? The expression “shining one,” or “Lucifer,” is found in what Isaiah prophetically commanded the Israelites to pronounce as a “proverbial saying against the king of Babylon.” Thus, it is part of a saying primarily directed at the Babylonian dynasty. That the description “shining one” is given to a man and not to a spirit creature is further seen by the statement: “Down to Sheol you will be brought.” Sheol is the common grave of mankind—not a place occupied by Satan the Devil. Moreover, those seeing Lucifer brought into this condition ask: “Is this the man that was agitating the earth?” Clearly, “Lucifer” refers to a human, not to a spirit creature.—Isaiah 14:4, 15, 16.

Why is such an eminent description given to the Babylonian dynasty? We must realize that the king of Babylon was to be called the shining one only after his fall and in a taunting way. (Isaiah 14:3) Selfish pride prompted Babylon’s kings to elevate themselves above those around them. So great was the arrogance of the dynasty that it is portrayed as bragging: “To the heavens I shall go up. Above the stars of God I shall lift up my throne, and I shall sit down upon the mountain of meeting, in the remotest parts of the north. . . . I shall make myself resemble the Most High.”—Isaiah 14:13, 14.

“The stars of God” are the kings of the royal line of David. (Numbers 24:17) From David onward, these “stars” ruled from Mount Zion. After Solomon built the temple in Jerusalem, the name Zion came to apply to the whole city. Under the Law covenant, all male Israelites were obliged to travel to Zion three times a year. Thus, it became “the mountain of meeting.” By determining to subjugate the Judean kings and then remove them from that mountain, Nebuchadnezzar is declaring his intention to put himself above those “stars.” Instead of giving Jehovah credit for the victory over them, he arrogantly puts himself in Jehovah’s place. So it is after being cut down to the earth that the Babylonian dynasty is mockingly referred to as the “shining one.”

The pride of the Babylonian rulers indeed reflected the attitude of “the god of this system of things”—Satan the Devil. (2 Corinthians 4:4) He too lusts for power and longs to place himself above Jehovah God. But Lucifer is not a name Scripturally given to Satan.
