Isaiah 14:12 open_in_new
son of the morning
Verses 12-14 (Isaiah 14:12-14) evidently refer to Satan, who, as prince of this world-system (see "World," (John 7:7).
( See Scofield) - (Revelation 13:8)
is the real unseen ruler of the successive world-powers. Tyre, Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, Rome, etc. (see (Ezekiel 28:12-14) Lucifer, "day-star," can be none other that Satan. This tremendous passage marks the beginning of sin in the universe. When Lucifer said, "I will," sin began. See
( See Scofield) - (Revelation 20:10).
See other instances of addressing Satan through another, (Genesis 3:15); (Matthew 16:22); (Matthew 16:23).

Isaiah 14:26 open_in_new
whole earth
This universality is significant and marks the whole passage as referring, not merely to a near judgment upon Assyria, but in a yet larger sense to the final crash of the present world-system at the end of the age. (See "Times of the Gentiles," (Luke 21:24); (Revelation 16:14); (Daniel 2:44); (Daniel 2:45) "Armageddon,"; (Revelation 16:14); (Revelation 19:17). No other such universal catastrophe on the nations is known to Scripture.
