Oops of the Day

Satan is Lucifer and fell from heaven at the beginning, and never again.

Isaiah 14:4-16 – Job 1:16 – Job 38:7 – Daniel 5:30-31 – Luke 10:17-18 – Revelation 12:7-17 – Revelation 2:8 – Revelation 22:16 

Facts Of the Day

• Satan was periodically in heaven; i.e., he was there to get permission to tempt Job to deny God.
• When Jesus’ disciples were out preaching, Jesus said he was watching Satan fall during that time.
• Satan’s fall was during the ministry, crucifixion, and resurrection of Jesus.
• Isaiah was speaking of the king of Babylon’s fall, both during his insane years when he acted  like an animal and the final fall of Babylon during the time of his successor. Isaiah refers to the king as a man.  Satan never was a man. Nebuchadnezzar’s final fall came during the time of his successor when Babylon was conquered by Persia.
• Lucifer (Morning Star) is Jesus’ title, not Satan’s.
• Job refers to the lucifers (morning stars) singing together and the sons of God shouting for joy at the creation.
• In the 5th Century AD, Jerome, a Catholic priest, translated the Old Testament from Hebrew to Latin.  He translated the Hebrew Morning Star as  the Latin Lucifer (Latin for Morning Star), capitalized it, made it a title instead of a description, thus giving the devil another name besides Satan; the name belonged to Jesus.  Since then, the Protestants have been following the example of the Catholics.
