The name Lucifer appears nowhere else in the King James Version. Other Versions Different Other versions however do not use the name Lucifer to describe this personage in Isaiah The American Standard Version of reads. How art thou fallen from heaven, O day-star, son of the morning!
Most other modern versions translate this passage in a similar way as the American Standard Version. Why The Difference? To understand the difference we must go back to the original language in Isaiah , Hebrew. The Hebrew word translated "day star" or "Lucifer" is Helel. This word has been rendered in a number of ways, because there was some question as to its exact meaning, and how it should be understood.
Helel has been understood to be the command form of the verb, "to howl. Therefore his name would be translated as "day star," or "bright one. Lucifero basically means "to shine. In fact, the notes they kept during their translation deliberations were made in Latin. When they began their translation process, the Latin Vulgate translation of the Bible had been around a thousand years. Lucifero , the Latin translation of the Hebrew Helel , had already become a proper name for the Devil.
Instead of translating the term as "day star" or "bright one," they kept the popular Latin term "Lucifer.
Bright And Morning Star Though the term "day star" has been attributed to the Devil, the genuine bright morning star is Jesus. It is I, Jesus, who sent My angel to you with this testimony for the churches. Integrity of heart is indispensable. John Calvin. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
To first-century leaders in the Roman world, the imagery was familiar: A victorious Roman general returning from battle leading his soldiers and their captives into the city. Citizens lined the streets applauding while the aroma of celebratory incense filled the air. Paul uses that image to say that Christ leads His followers in a victory procession through every difficulty in life 2 Corinthians The victory over the world, the flesh, the devil, and sin was won by the Cross and the empty tomb.
He did for us what we cannot do for ourselves. We have victory now and for eternity only because of the victory Christ won for us. Therefore, if we are to experience victory in this life, it will come only as we depend on Him.
As Paul wrote in Galatians , the life we now live is the life of Christ in us as we keep our faith in Him. If you need a victory in your life, begin every day by renewing your faith in Christ in whom all our victories are to be realized. The spiritual battle, the loss of victory, is always in the thought-world.
Francis Schaeffer. Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Revelation A great misconception carried by many Christians has to do with the location of heaven. But the Bible says our eternal destiny is earthly, not heavenly. Somehow, at the end of the age, when Christ has returned to reign and inaugurate the eternal state, this earth will be renovated and a new earth will be the result—a new earth full of righteousness in which pain and sorrow will be absent.
The beautiful imagery of the New Jerusalem in Revelation 21 lets us know that the new earth will be a place that reflects the glory of God throughout. Jesus said He was going to prepare a place for you if you belong to Him John The New Jerusalem, on the new earth, is that place. Let thy hope of heaven master thy fear of death. William Gurnall.
Now it came to pass in those days that [Jesus] went out to the mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God. Luke Officially, church historians recognize seven ecumenical church councils held between A. The humanity of Christ, while at the same time divine, is hard to understand. But thankfully, Scripture gives us illustrations: Like us, Jesus suffered, experienced hunger, required sleep, ate food, and had limits on His knowledge Mark We might think that, if Jesus was truly divine, He would have had no need to pray for knowledge, guidance, or help.
Yet He did, following the example of godly men like Daniel in Babylon Daniel Jesus repeatedly said that He only did what the Father showed Him to do John , and prayer was His means. If Jesus, the Son of God, needed to go to His Father in prayer for strengthening and guidance, how much more do we Psalm ?
Prayer and a holy life are one. What is humility? Is it the opposite of pride? But what is the biblical view of humility. If someone compliments you on a job well done, do you refuse to take credit or receive their compliment? Rather, we should think of it soberly and realistically—humbly—and minister accordingly. How do you view yourself? With pride? With false humility? Or soberly and realistically according to the grace of God in your life? A really humble man…will not be thinking about humility, he will not be thinking about himself at all.
For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me; my vitality was turned into the drought of summer. Psalm California is a dry state that needs water to be transported over many miles to population and agricultural centers.
Snowfall in the winter and melting snow in the spring are critical factors in replenishing shrinking reservoirs. In periods of modern droughts, aerial photographs document the receding water levels in reservoirs around the state—shorelines growing wider and drier as water levels fall. Such is the picture David paints with his words in Psalm 32—a drought of spiritual vitality brought on by his own sin. It was like his soul was being evaporated by the heat of his own guilt and shame.
But then the rains of grace came and David confessed his sin and God forgave him verse 5. And he encouraged his readers not to make the same mistake he had made verses Confession and repentance reveal the access to restoration. The way to cover our sin is to uncover it by confession. Richard Sibbes. I rejoice at Your Word as one who finds great treasure. Earlier this year, a volunteer for a charity in Arizona was going through books donated for a sale.
Someone had used a knife to cut a hole in the middle of the book. Perhaps it would help to think of it in those terms.

Kimber in The Sunday School World , I think it is right to refresh your memory as long as I live in the tent of this body, because I know that I will soon put it aside. Peter wrote his final letter shortly before his execution.

Click here to learn more! Milos mom. Yes Satan is bad , it is written in the bible. Bro your legit praising the satanic demon wtf are you he is bad and a lyer. God is in our heart. Evil in our mind. We hv to choose which voice to listen to, to please God.
As Satan, Evil personified or Maya, is constantly preaching to us, to stay away from God. Only a true spiritual guide can show the way. The Devil is a Lie. Both are to be held accountable for their rebellion. The devil discovered evil and introduced it to us by having us commit an act of it. The devil is a murderer because he lead Adam and Eve away from God the source of life causing our bodies to be separate and soon shall die or can get sick.
The devil lied by making them go after something they already had, they knew what was good and what was evil the just never "knew" in a way of experiencing it and when they did they were exsposed. Satan, like us, are given the beauty of choice.
So satan is in the wrong for choosing to go against the Father, just as we are for choosing our sins. The lust for more is satans downfall, as was ours as well in that garden.
Choosing to be content in the Father is where beautiful peace comes from, not knowing and understanding.
