Who Was the Biblical Morning Star?
Jesus or Lucifer??
Let’s start this off with a Google search. This is the answer Google gives.
But, here’s an article showing both Jesus and Lucifer being referred to as the Morning Star:
The idea of a “bright morning star” is a star that outshines all the others, and Jesus is the One who is called “bright.” Satan was a morning star. Jesus, as God incarnate, the Lord of the universe, is the BRIGHT and morning star. Jesus is the most holy and powerful “light” in all the universe. So, while both Jesus and Satan can be described as “morning stars,” in no sense is this equating Jesus and Satan. Satan is a created being. His light only exists to the extent that God created it. Jesus is the light of the world (John 9:5). Only Jesus’ light is “bright” and self-existent. Satan may be a morning star, but he is only a poor imitation of the one true bright morning star, Jesus Christ, the light of the world.
So, that is the apologist answer. But, the actual morning star is Venus:
And, the sixty four thousand dollar question is, “How many morning stars are there?”
Do you get it? There’s one and only one morning star. That’s why it’s called the morning star. Lucifer was called the morning star, and Jesus was called the morning star. Both of them were this single star — Venus.
Thus, the apologist analysis is incorrect — both Jesus and Lucifer were THE morning star.
Thanks for reading me.
