My Note: Lucifer fallen Ref. Scripture Isaiah 14:12-16
Why was Lucifer condemed?
Scripture:
Isaiah 14:12 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!
13 For
thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt
my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the
congregation, in the sides of the north:
14
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most
High.
15 Yet thou shalt be brought
down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
16 They that see thee
shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man
that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;
Complete text: Isaiah 14:4 ¶That
thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How
hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased!
5 The LORD hath broken the staff of the
wicked, and the sceptre of the rulers.
6 He who smote the people in wrath with
a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted,
and none hindereth.
7 The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet:
they break forth into singing.
8 Yea, the fir trees rejoice at thee, and
the cedars of Lebanon, saying, Since thou art laid down, no feller is come
up against us.
9 Hell from beneath is moved for thee to
meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the
chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings
of the nations.
10 All they shall speak and say unto thee,
Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us?
11 Thy pomp is brought down to the grave,
and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms
cover thee.
12 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!
13 For thou hast said in thine heart,
I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God:
I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the
north:
14 I will ascend above the heights of
the clouds; I will be like the most High.
15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to
hell, to the sides of the pit.
16 They that see thee shall narrowly look
upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth
to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;
17 That made the world as a wilderness,
and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?
18 All the kings of the nations, even all
of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house.
19 But thou art cast out of thy grave like
an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust
through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase
trodden under feet.
20 Thou shalt not be joined with them in
burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the
seed of evildoers shall never be renowned.
21 Prepare slaughter for his children for
the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land,
nor fill the face of the world with cities.
22 For I will rise up against them, saith
the LORD of hosts, and cut off from Babylon the name, and remnant, and
son, and nephew, saith the LORD.
23 I will also make it a possession for
the bittern, and pools of water: and I will sweep it with the besom of
destruction, saith the LORD of hosts.
Isaiah 14:23 I will also make it a possession for the bittern,
and pools of water: and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction,
saith the LORD of hosts.
24 ¶The LORD of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have
thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it
stand:
25 That I will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains
tread him under foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his
burden depart from off their shoulders.
26 This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth:
and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations.
27 For the LORD of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul
it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?
28 In the year that king Ahaz died was this burden.
29 Rejoice not thou, whole Palestina, because the rod of him
that smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent's root shall come forth
a cockatrice, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent.
30 And the firstborn of the poor shall feed, and the needy shall
lie down in safety: and I will kill thy root with famine, and he shall
slay thy remnant.
31 Howl, O gate; cry, O city; thou, whole Palestina, art dissolved:
for there shall come from the north a smoke, and none shall be alone in
his appointed times.
32 What shall one then answer the messengers of the nation? That
the LORD hath founded Zion, and the poor of his people shall trust in it.
To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits;
to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy
Spirit, you accomplish both.
