For the unnamed "king of Babylon", [60] a wide range of identifications have been proposed. [61] They include a Babylonian ruler of the prophet Isaiah's own time, [61] the later Nebuchadnezzar II, under whom the Babylonian captivity of the Jews began, [62] or Nabonidus, [61] [63] and the Assyrian kings Tiglath-Pileser, Sargon II and Sennacherib. [64] [65] Verse 20 says that this king of Babylon will not be "joined with them [all the kings of the nations] in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, thou hast slain thy people; the seed of evil-doers shall not be named for ever", but rather be cast out of the grave, while "All the kings of the nations, all of them, sleep in glory, every one in his own house". [46] [66] Herbert Wolf held that the "king of Babylon" was not a specific ruler but a generic representation of the whole line of rulers. [67] Michael and the Dragon. Die Bibel in Bildern (Revelation) engraving by Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld, 1860. As a name for the Devil in Christian theology, the more common meaning in English, "Lucifer" is the rendering of the Hebrew word הֵילֵל, hêlēl, (pronunciation: hay-lale) [1] in Isaiah [2] given in the King James Version of the Bible. The translators of this version took the word from the Latin Vulgate, [3] which translated הֵילֵל by the Latin word lucifer (uncapitalized), [4] [5] meaning "the morning star", "the planet Venus", or, as an adjective, "light-bringing". [6] Cicero wrote: Stella Veneris, quae Φωσφόρος Graece, Latine dicitur Lucifer, cum antegreditur solem, cum subsequitur autem Hesperos. ("The star of Venus, called Φωσφόρος in Greek and Lucifer in Latin when it precedes, Hesperos when it follows the sun". [12]

And now Aurora rising from her Mygdonian couch had driven the cold darkness on from high in the heavens, shaking out her dewy hair, her face blushing red at the pursuing sun – from him roseate Lucifer averts his fires lingering in the clouds and with reluctant horse leaves the heavens no longer his, until the blazing father make full his orb and forbid even his sister her beams") [17] [18] Fallen angels have already lost. It’s easy to get discouraged when we see the forces of evil at work in our modern world, but we can sometimes forget that Jesus already has the victory ( 1 John 4:4). Demons already have their fate sealed. It’s only a matter of time. TBD; Elwell, Walter A.; Comfort, Philip W. (2001). Walter A. Elwell; Philip Wesley Comfort (eds.).

The brilliancy of the morning star, which eclipses all other stars, but is not seen during the night, may easily have given rise to a myth such as was told of Ethana and Zu: he was led by his pride to strive for the highest seat among the star-gods on the northern mountain of the gods [...] but was hurled down by the supreme ruler of the Babylonian Olympus.

The LDS Church believes that the war in heaven started in the premortal existence when Heavenly Father ( Elohim) created the Plan of salvation to enable humanity to become like him. Jesus Christ as per the plan was the Savior and those who followed the plan would come to Earth to experience mortality and progress toward eternal life. Lucifer, another spirit son of God, rebelled against the plan's reliance on agency and proposed an altered plan that negated agency. Thus he became Satan, and he and his followers were cast out of heaven. This denied them participating in God's plan, the privileges of receiving a physical body, and experiencing mortality.
