Isaiah 14:12
KJV
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!
NIV
How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations!
The use of “morning star” has stirred up confusion because Jesus is the “morning star” in Revelation 22:16. The entire English-speaking world including children recognizes the name of Lucifer to be Satan’s original name. Thus, modern Bibles did not create a more accurate English translation by deviating from Lucifer, but rather a reading inspired by clashing theology. NIV translator Robert L. Alden wrote, “…the beautiful name Lucifer… cannot be Satan. Isaiah is not speaking of Satan in chapter 14.” – Link to Source
