“How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!”
King James Version (KJV)

Satan is the great counterfeiter, and as such he imitates Jesus in every way.

I am interested in your thoughts on 'hell'. You said, "that Hell does not exist in Hebrew, Aramaic, or Latin". So if you read Psalm 16:10 & Psalm 139:8 which, of course mentions 'hell', what Hebrew word, in your studies, is applicable there. I understand it as 'sheol', but you may have another word or meaning for it.
Then in the NT, we have Matthew 10:28 & Luke 16:23, where the word for 'hell', is understood to be 'geenne', or Gehenna in Matthew, and 'ade' or Hades, in Luke's reference. I see that all of these references (OT & NT) depict a place & state of suffering. And if these are translated from the original manuscripts, I would be interested to learn what you are reading, the words used & the manuscripts they are derived from, as this can be very perplexing to us who are confined to the Bibles we have now.
And as a result of this, what is your understanding of a place of eternal suffering for the wicked: whether such a state even exists of which the Bible declares.

Dr David M Ward,
What translation do you recommend to get a more accurate wording?
I was wondering why both Satan and Jesus were "the morning star"
Thanks!

Satan is the Devil's name. Jesus stated this. Lux Ferro is the word in Isaiah 14:12 that the translations of the KJV used out of the Latin Vulgate to get Lucifer. They were wrong and the world has spread this mistranslation of Moring Star into Lucifer aka the Devil for over 400 years. I knew the truth in 1978 when I began researching Morning Star and did not find the Devil but rather the planet Venus. I have a Doctorate in Theology and no good translation has Lucifer in the translation or the word Hell since the Bible was assembled in the 400's and the word Hell did not exist until 705 AD in Germany and Old England and its meaning is a hidden place.

This is Satan declaring that he will make himself "like " God. Has he accomplished this task? I say yes...

Satan was the most Beautiful and powerful angel in heaven so pride overcome him and so he wanted to rule over the most high and so he was cast out of heaven onto the earth here he wage war with god deceived man, Satan have enaumos power the only thing that he cannot do is to breath the breath of life into man he has deceived us all but in the end God shall triumph, As all the ungodly and the unjust shall go down into hell with the devil and his host.

Indeed Isa 14 12 14 there are many interpretations for the fallen one in these verses 1 he is satan because the person here is powerful to be any human king 2 this could be sennacherib or Nebuchadnezzar kings with power Their people looked upon them as gods These kings wanted to rule the world 3 This could refer to both satan and a human king possibly Nebuchadnezzar because Babylon is pictured as the seat of evil in Revelation 17 18 Pride was satan s sin as well as Babylon s Common to all three view points is the truth that pride willfully opposes God and will result in judgement

I agree that Is. 14:12 refers to the Morning Star and not to the devil.

there is a comet comming. its called ison.
i believe it will hit the sun & produce a solar flare with will hit earth & produce an electromagnetic pulse that will knock out the power grid. I dont know if it will be worldwide but north america is expecting it. in fact newt geinrich has already outlined it. the us government is going to blame north korea for setting off a nuclear bomb over north america. they will use this as an excuse to go to war. evil exists here on earth. satan rund the governments , media health care - everything. satan plans to wipe out gods creation & replace it with his own via genetic modification & cloning. satan has no love for gods creations. he is a liar the biggest liar ever. god loves you * so do i.

"Properly translated" could also be the translation to "Day Star", which would ***ume the Sun it's self.
The falling to Earth that caused damage / dead to nations>
It may translate into light (Lightening) from the Sun falling upon Earth to cause great damage.
"The Light" is used as a description / title and as being "living" / "alive".
