Lucifer the bearer of light, the mighty
son of the morning, he who shines the brightest. This
great fallen one, has become a topic of debate over recent times. What is the cause of this
debate? We shall explain. In the book of Isaiah Chapter 14, there is a passage which
reads: “How you have fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! You, who weakened
the nations! You have said in your heart: ‘I will ascend into heaven, and I will exalt
my throne above the stars of God. I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, and I will
be like the Most High.’ But nay, you shall be brought down to Hell, to the lowest depths
of the fiery Pit." Bible scholars claimed that when this passage
mentioned the name "Lucifer", it was not referring to a fallen angel, but was instead
referring to the king of Babylon. And as the
name appears only once in the christian bible, Once
when the book of Isaiah mentioned it, these scholars have come to say that there was never
an angel called Lucifer, that the name is merely a title and nothing more. And so they
have attributed that name to both mortals and other fallen angels, to kings, and even
to Jesus Christ himself. The Hebrews and the jewish christians however,
greatly disagree, that this is in fact an
erroneous interpretation put forward by foreigners,
who either do not possess enough knowledge of their teachings or seek to pervert the
original meanings of their texts. The jews maintain that the book of Isaiah chapter 14
verse 12 indeed spoke of the fallen angel Lucifer whose story was used as an allusion, to
allude to the tragedy that would befall the king of Babylon. What were the sins of the
king of Babylon? Even though he knew who the heavenly lord was, the King of Babylon
took holy vessels from the temple of the lord and gave them to harlots, to guests, wives
and concubines with which they drank wine and worshiped idols. What would give a mere
man such audacity to spit in the face of a God far greater than he is if not pride
and ego? And there, the passage recounted the tale of Lucifer, he who was of the same
pride and ego, thereby foretelling that the king would meet the same fate, the doom
of both he and his kingdom. We shall go with the Hebrews and the Christians, as
the phrases of that verse do not likely describe a human or a king as the scholars claimed.
But isn't Lucifer a Latin name? If he was indeed an angel of the heavenly lord, an
angel of Hebrew lore, Why is his name Latin? And Why doesn't he bear the suffix, "El,"
to his name like the rest of the angels? All these you must wonder.
His true name was indeed not Lucifer, the name came much later, as the original Hebrew
texts were translated into Greek, and then into Latin. The Hebrews say that his true
name was Helel, and that was the name they had written down. a name which means "the
morning star," or the light of the lord. But as 70 Greek scholars translated the Hebrew
bible into Greek, between 285 BC and 247 BC, the name "Helel" was changed to Venus, a name
which already belonged to a Greco-Roman deity. The Greek version gained popularity, while the
Hebrew version went into obscurity. they called this translation the Greek Septuagint, in
other words, the Greek old testament. & because of that name, "Venus", which was already the
name of a Greco-Roman deity, many came to believe that Helel-Lucifer was a Greco-Roman
god turned Hebrew, which in fact is not so, his real identity had only been forgotten. As
the Greek version was translated into Latin between 383 and 405 A.D, The Latin translator,
St. Jerome, changed the name Venus, to Lucifer, a name which like the original also means "Morning
star." And it would be that name "Lucifer," which stuck thenceforth. So, it appears that
Lucifer is much more than a title, it is the name of that fallen Seraphim, the first
of his kind. And nay, he is not a Greco-Roman deity adopted into Hebrew doctrine, He is
that once greatest angel known as Helel, the fairest of them all.
But What is the story of Helel? After a while of rummaging through many different
texts, we found that the Mormons, and the Christians called the Latter Day Saints, are
perhaps the only ones who tell the story of Helel in great detail in English, clear
and concise. We shall tell you the story as the Mormons tell it. This story is written
in fragments, in small incomplete parts, in the scriptures of the latter day saints, namely,
in the Book of Moses chapter 4, in the Book of Doctrines and Covenants chapter 76, in
the 2nd Book of Nephi chapter 24, and the book of revelations chapter 12. It would
seem that the later English translations, replaced his name with either Satan, the devil,
or the great dragon. Once upon a time in Mormonism, before the
creation of man and the world, a time when not even the angels existed, the great lord
manifested from the vast cosmos, and created the first being to exist, aside himself. He
called this being Yeshua, the one christians would come to know as Jesus Christ. After
the creation of Yeshua, the great lord created the very first angel, and his name was Helel, the
one who would come to be known as Lucifer. The Mormons say Helel was more than an angel, he
was Yeshua's younger brother, the Great lord's 2nd son and chief commander of the angelic
host. After the rest of the angels had been created, and in preparation to create mankind, The
great lord assembled his two sons and his council, and revealed to them his plan of
salvation, saying: "Let us give men physical bodies and time in mortality to prove how
well they can handle their physical bodies and their agency. They shall be tempted, their
life shall be full of dangers and turmoil, that
they may gain true wisdom from their experience. If
they do well in mortality, they shall become like us and live among us."
Foreseeing that mankind would never rise above sin, the great lord knew that at some point
in the time of man, a redeemer must descend from the heavens to show mankind the way. And
so the great lord asked his heavenly host, saying: "Which of you will descend, to save
the children of men? Behold, All of the heavens went silent, until
Helel went forth and stood before the lord, saying, I am here, O lord, Send me, and
I will be your son, for I will redeem all of mankind, that one soul shall not be lost, and
this I shall make sure of. Therefore, give me your glory.
But the humble Yeshua arose and went forth, and knelt before the lord, saying: "Send
me, father. let your will be done, and let the glory be yours forever." And There, the
great lord knew who he would send to mankind as Saviour. it would not be Helel, it would
be Yeshua, for while Helel took pride in himself and sought glory, Yeshua was meek
and sought no praise, for while Helel was forceful, Yeshua was gentle. Thus, he appointed
Yeshua as the Chosen one, and this greatly infuriated Helel, for he thought to himself: "Why
not me?." Helel began to look down upon the Great lord, for
if he would prefer the meek and gentle ways, then surely, he is not as powerful as it would
seem. He presented his arguments to the rest of the angels, and indeed swayed one-third
of the angels to his side. And Helel rebelled against the great Lord, seeking to exalt
himself above him. This led to the great war of heaven, a war fought before the creation
of man. The honorable Michael led the angels who stood with the great lord and his chosen
one. while the fierce Helel led the angels who stood against. Michael and his angels
fought against Helel, and Helel and his angels fought back. But the blessing of the great
lord was upon the honorable Michael, and not even the fierce Helel could triumph over
him. And so Helel lost his place in heaven, hurled down to the earth, and his angels along with
him. He became known as the great dragon, thenceforth, and the name Lucifer would perhaps
come to fit. he could no longer be called Helel, for he was no longer of the lord, and
although he had fallen, his light and splendour did not fade.
The scriptures say the devil tempted Eve in the garden of Eden, but it didn't say
which of the many devils did this. The Zohar says it was Samael, while the Muslims say
it was Azazel. Whichever the story is, it appears that neither of these two devils
are the same as Helel, who is now called Lucifer, for
while Samael and Azazel fell in the time of
Man, Helel-Lucifer fell before man was born from clay. And while the sins of Samael and
Azazel were against mankind, the sins for which they fell, the sin of Lucifer was against
the heavenly lord himself, for he saw himself equal to the most high, perhaps even better.
And so he rebelled and sought to usurp the most high, a crime for which he
fell.
The legends of the Occult equally agree that neither Samael nor Azazel is the great Lucifer
himself, but are only chiefs under Lucifer's supreme reign in the realm of hell. We have
previously explored the tales and identities of both Samael & Azazel. Refer to previous
episodes of this series to know their story. The great Lucifer came to preside over every
other Satan that fell after him, and even
though that beautiful son of the morning had fallen,
his pride did not shatter nor will it ever shatter, for he created a hierarchy of powers
in his hellish kingdom similar to the hierarchy of powers in heaven. According to the Grand
Grimoire, the Book of Oberon and the Lesser key of Solomon, the powers of Hell, from the
highest to the lowest, are ranked as thus; the unholy trinity, the principalities and
the 72 kings of hell. The Unholy Trinity is the highest hierarchy and consists of Lucifer
as the Godhead, with Beelzebub or Satan whose angelic name is Samael, being his 2nd in command,
and Astaroth, one of the angels who fell with him, being his third in command. The middle
hierarchy is the principalities or the demon kings of the 4 directions, who are under the
command of the Unholy Trinity. The principality of the east is Baal-Beelzebub, also known
as Goap, and Oriens and who is the fallen angel known as Samael. The principality of
the south is Amaymon, who is the fallen angel called Azazel. The principality of the west
is Paimon, also known as Corson and who is also the fallen angel called Azazel. And the
principality of the north is Egyn, also known as Ziminiar and Mahazael.
Under these 4 principalities
are the 72 kings of Hell, and under the 72 kings of Hell, are millions of lesser spirits
called Legions. We have explored the principalities
and 72 kings of hell in previous videos. To
know their own side of the story, do refer to our "Angelology & Demonology playlist,"
and "Angels of Jewish Lore playlist." Also refer to our "Lesser Key Of Solomon playlist,"
and "Book of Enoch playlist".
The great Lucifer no longer interferes directly in the affairs of mortals, nor does he expose
himself to them, not when he has his chiefs and Legions to carry out his will and do his
bidding, while he watches and wills what will be done. But according to the Grimorium Verum,
also called the True Grimoire, when he does expose himself, he appears in the form of
the most beautiful child, who when angry, becomes reddish with a fiery face, but nothing
close to monstrous. As he was the most beautiful in heaven, so has he remained the most beautiful
even after his fall, on earth and under the earth. And as the great lord Yahweh is king
over the heavens, so is the great Lord Lucifer king over the earth and the realm of Hell.
This is the story of Lucifer, that morning star Helel.
