Lucifer

In the novel, "The Whispers of the Fallen," Lucifer is Isaac's most powerful nemesis. He is gathering armies and recruiting humans to fight for his cause. Elysium now sits under constant darkness; its inhabitants unaware of the power that is rising.

But who is Lucifer?

There are various historical accounts surrounding Lucifer today.

In mythology, Lucifer is Attar, the one who tried to sit on Ba'al's throne. After his attempt proved folly, he descended to earth and established his throne.

In Christianity the name Lucifer, or morning star, is applied to both Satan (the enemy) and Jesus (the bright and morning star). If we are to analyze scripture, we will see that in some Bible verses such as 2 Peter 1:19, Revelation 2:28, Revelation 22:16, we will clearly see the reference of Jesus to the Morning Star.

Among Satanists, Lucifer is viewed as the Torch of Baphomet, a pagan deity, symbolizing the occult. Lucifer can also be found in Islam and Judaism, with stories very similar to the one found in the Bible.

Here is an excerpt taken from the book of Isaiah, which many believe it to be the description of the fall of the Morning Star.

"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!

You said in your heart, “I will ascend to the heavens; I will raise my throne above the stars of God;
I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of Mount Zaphon. I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.”

But you are brought down to the realm of the dead, to the depths of the pit. Those who see you stare at you, they ponder your fate: “Is this the man who shook the earth and made kingdoms tremble, the man who made the world a wilderness, who overthrew its cities and would not let his captives go home?” Isaiah 14:12-17

In your opinion, who is Lucifer? A myth? A reality?
