truth of Lucifer and of error
if you are to be saved from everlasting death, you must know truth from error.
This film will reveal the "truth" about "Satan", and why you may have been fooled up to know...
Religion, especially "christianity" teaches that there is a "supernatural being" called Satan who is the creator of "evil".
Satan and his evil demons fly around the world tempting and torturing people with evil thoughts and lustful desires.
Satan's supposed mission is to destroy your salvation and keep you out of heaven.
Warning: this video reveals the truth about Satan, it will challenge everything you have been taught. I encourage you to study this vital subject for yourself.
Traditionally, Satan or Lucifer is said to have been God's most beautiful angel, and in an act of rebellion, Satan said "I am like god".
The story goes that God then cast Satan down to earth along with his heavenly followers who became demons.
Satan and his demons then fight back against God by tempting and torturing the "saints".
And this is supposesed to happen until God casts Satan and his demons into the "lake of fire" at the end of the world.
What does Bible and history really say about Satan?
Truth is there is no Satan and demon haunting the lives of the faithfull.
But you want proof that religion has taught a lie, right?
Jeremiah 16:19 "the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, surely our fathers have inherited lies".
Lucifer first appears in the 14th chapter of Isaiah
"How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!"
Christianity has built an entire doctrine around this one verse, and then "new testament" writers and transcribers embraced this doctrine...
and brought the lie full circle.
Into a "cornerstone" of christian belief.
The Lucifer of Isaiah is not Satan, the Devil, at all, but someone else who tortured and tempted the "saints".
In the original hebrew text, the 14th chapter of Isaiah is not about a fallen angel, but about fallen Babylonian King.
Nebuchadnezzar, who during his lifetime had persecuted the children of Israel.
So how did we get from Nebuchadnezzar to Lucifer the Devil?
Earley Christian scribes, writing in the Latin tongue used by the Church,
had decided for themselves that they wanted the story to be about a fallen angel, a creature not even mentioned in the original Hebrew text.
Jeremiah prophesied that scribes would perpertrate lies...
Jeremiah: "the pen of the scribes [is] a liar"
Why Lucifer? In Roman astronomy, Lucifer was the name given to the
morning star.
The morning star appears in the heavens just before dawn, heralding the rising sun.
The name derives from the latin term Lucem Ferre, bringer, or bearer, of light. In the Hebrew text the expression used to describe the Babylonian King before his death is Helal, son of Shahar, which can best be translated as "Day Star, son of the Dawn".
The scribes and scholars authorized by King James the 1st to translate the Bible into then current English did not use the original Hebrew texts, but used versions translated largely by St Jerome in the 4th century.
Jerome had mistranslated the Hebraic metaphor, "Day Star, son of the Dawn" as "Lucifer", and over the centuries a metamorphosis took place.
Lucifer the morning star became a disobedient angel, cast out of heaven to rule eternaly in hell.
So "Lucifer" is nothing more than an ancient Latin name for the morning star, the bringer of light.
This can be confusing for Christians who identify Christ himself as the morning star in Revelation 22:16 "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."
And so there are those who do not read beyond King James version of the Bible, who say "Lucifer is Satan: so says the Word of th Lord."
How does the confusion in translating this verse arise?
The Hebrew of this passage in Isaiah reads: "heleyl, ben schachar" which can be literally translated "shining One, son of dawn".
This phrase means, again literally, the planet Venus when it appears as a morning star.
In the Septuagint, a 3rd century BC translation of the Hebrew scriptures into Greek, it is translated as "Heosporos" which also means Venus as a morning star.
How did the translation "Lucifer" arise?
The word Lucifer comes from Jerome's Latin Vulgate. Was Jerome in error? Not at all. In Latin at the time, "Lucifer" actually meant Venus as a morning star.
Therefore, Lucifer wasn't equated with Satan until after Jerome.
Jerome wasn't in error. Later Christians (and Mormons) were in equating "Lucifer" with "Satan".
So why is this problem to a Christians?
Christians now generally believe that Satan (or the Devil or Lucifer who they equate with Satan) is a "being" who has allways existed.
Therefore, they also think that the 'prophets' of the Old testament believed in this creature.
The Isaiah scripture is used as proof (and has been used as such for hundreds of years now) of Satan's existance.
The irony for those who believe that "Lucifer" refers to Satan is that the same title ('morning star' or 'light bearer') is used to refer to Jesus, in Peter 1:19, where the Greek text has exactley the same term: 'Phos-phoros' 'light-bearer'.
So if Lucifer the Devil doesn't exist, where does all the evil in the world come from?
How can there be so much pain and misery, temptation and strife, in our world and daily lives?
You will I'm sure be shocked and also relieved at the answers to these questions.
These questions and more will be answered in the next video "The Test"
