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).
