Venus as the Morning Star of Lucifer

Venus as the Morning Star of Lucifer


The brightest of these heralds of the sun is the planet Venus, and such a "morning star" for power, glory, and ]magnificence, the king of Babylon had once been; like one of the angels of God. But as addressed in Isaiah's prophecy, he has been brought down to Sheol:—
"How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! . . . For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God . . . I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High."
