The Hebrew word ‘hê·lēl’ means “shining one” and was translated into Latin as ‘lucifer’ which means “light-bearer.” Both of these words didn’t reference Satan, but instead the planet Venus, otherwise known as the morning star. Tradition is the only reason the Latin word ‘lucifer’ still remains in some English translations. The Hebrew word ‘hê·lēl’ is translated as ‘lucifer’ in Latin and ‘phōsphóros’ (light-bringer) or ‘heōsphoros’ (dawn-bringer) in Greek, as can be seen in the Septuagint. ‘Lucifer’ was the Latin name for the planet Venus, the brightest “star” in the dawn of the morning. Likewise, the same is true of the Greek words, ‘phōsphóros’ or ‘heōsphoros,’ the names and terms for the planet Venus, meaning “morning star,” or “day star.” The morning star was a symbol of power and royalty in Greco-Roman times. The word ‘phōsphóros’ appears in the New Testament, in reference to Jesus. Jesus explicitly assumes the title "Light of the World” twice in the Gospel of John: once in John 8:12 “I am the light of the world” & again in John 9:5 “When I am in the world, I am the light of the world”.
