Lucifer: a Translation Mistake within the King James Bible
Lucifer/Phosphor is the name for a Greco-Roman Pagan god connected with the planet Venus.
According to biblical and apocryphal sources, Lucifer's original name was:
- Helel (Hebrew: הֵילֵל) - This name is derived from the Hebrew word "helel," which means "morning star" or "shining one."
- Lucifer (Latin: Lūcifer) - This name was later adopted into Latin from the Greek word Φωσφόρος (Phosphoros), meaning "light-bearer" or "morning star.". The origin is derived from the Indo-European term ‘Lukke’ which basically means ‘a flash of inspiration’. It is also the root term for the name of the Nordic god Loki.
Within the Jewish tradition, in Isaiah 14:12-15, Helel is described as a fallen angel. The name “Lucifer” itself was later used in Christian (KJB) tradition to refer to the fallen angel, often associated with Satan, the Devil etc. This is completely incorrect. The name Lucifer has undergone significant changes in both meaning and connotation over time. Constantly influenced by various cultural and theological interpretations during historical and social changes. Generally these interpretations are rarely connected to anything directly evil or wicked.
As somebody who has read the KJB a few times and considered myself a Christian until I discovered your work Mr Sheridan. I foolishly, like a basement dwelling skunker believed the psyop! Age old propaganda for the masses. I think there is a sliding scale of discernment that takes a new red piller sometime to adjust to without getting distracted with useless BS that surrounds the WWW. Ian R Crane was my avenue into your work via AV. I now place my spirituality that I mistook for Christianity into one of that of my ancestorial past, the native Welsh and their tribe. I treat as I wish to be treated myself and try and help folk if I can, you don't have to be an Abrahamic to behave reasonably in this world. Hail Lucifer!
