Sigil of Lucifer	Sigil of Christ

What was once split has be rejoined: Sigil of Lucifer-Christ


Lucifer, (Latin for "light-bearer"), name for the planet Venus when it appears as the morning star; Vulgate translation of the Hebrew expression for "bright one." The Hebrew prophet Isaiah used the term in a satirical allusion to the king of Babylon, describing the frustrated ambition of the morning star to rise higher than all the other stars: "How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning" (Isaiah 14:12). This passage evidently reflects an episode from a myth of Baal, known to scholars through Canaanite texts recovered at Ra's Shamrah in Syria. In the New Testament, star imagery is applied to the figure of Christ: In 2 Peter 1:19 he is called "day star" (Greek phosphoros), and in Revelation 22:16 he is called "morning star." The identification of Isaiah's Lucifer with the Devil began with Saint Jerome and other Fathers of the Church, who held that Jesus implied the identification when he said, "I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven" (Luke 10:18). Consequently, in Patristic literature, Lucifer is used as a synonym for Satan. -"Lucifer," Microsoft® Encarta® Online Encyclopedia 2000 http://encarta.msn.com © 1997-2000 Microsoft Corporation.
