Скачать или смотреть Why Lucifer Became The Fallen Angel: The History Behind the Roman Harbinger of the Dawn

Why Lucifer? Why not Jupiter the king of Roman Gods, surely he would be a more appropriate choice to reflect the adversary of the Christian faith? In this talk, we explore and uncover the forgotten history of how the Roman poetic “Harbinger of the Dawn” was transformed through mistranslation and reinterpretation into the infamous figure of the Fallen Angel.

Drawing from ancient sources, biblical texts, and cultural history, we trace:

The original Roman meaning of Lucifer as the morning star, the light bearer and ultimately how the planet Venus came to represent the Biblical Fallen Angel.

How Hebrew terms like Helel ben Shachar were reinterpreted in translation.

The pivotal role of the Latin Vulgate and later Christian writings in shaping Lucifer’s identity.

Why medieval demonology and later theology cemented him as the archetypal rebel angel.

The wider implications of this shift from myth and metaphor to religious doctrine.

PLEASE BE ADVISED - This isn’t devotional theology, it’s an exploration of history, myth, and translation, showing how one word reshaped the Western imagination of good, evil, and rebellion.

If you’re interested in the history of ancient belief systems, or the way language changes meaning across cultures, this video will give you a deeper understanding of how Lucifer became the Fallen Angel we know today.
