since you edited your post so that you are saying that Jesus Christ as the "Morning Star" is a mistranslation, I decided to find out how often the mistranslation occurs:
American Standard Version
Revelation 22:16 (ASV) I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things for the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright, the morning star.
The Bible in Basic English
Revelation 22:16 (BBE) I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give witness to you of these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright and morning star.
Common English Bible
Revelation 22:16 (CEB) "I, Jesus, have sent my angel to bear witness to all of you about these things for the churches. I'm the root and descendant of David, the bright morning star.
Common English Bible w/ Apocrypha
Revelation 22:16 (CEBA) "I, Jesus, have sent my angel to bear witness to all of you about these things for the churches. I'm the root and descendant of David, the bright morning star.
The Complete Jewish Bible
Revelation 22:16 (CJB) "I, Yeshua, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the Messianic communities. I am the Root and Offspring of David, the bright Morning Star.
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Revelation 22:16 (CSB) "I, Jesus, have sent My angel to attest these things to you for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright Morning Star."
The Darby Translation
Revelation 22:16 (DBY) *I* Jesus have sent mine angel to testify these things to you in the assemblies. *I* am the root and offspring of David, the bright [and] morning star.
Nearly if not every English translation says morning star or Morning Star. So in English Jesus is the Morning Star, and in the Old Testament it isn't Lucifer it is the Morning Star. Both figures are prophesied in Isaiah, and both have the same name, (in addition to the other parallels I mentioned). Jesus Christ nowadays (by modern translations) is called Morning Star even if that was somehow an accident, so it still seems likely to me that a prophecy about him in the same book as a guy with the same name as him might both be about him.
I also noticed: If Christ is supposed to be God, He always was. If he was old enough to eat curds and honey before he chose the right over the wrong, this doesn't explicitly state he ever chose the right; it just says he was old enough for curds and honey before it happened. Maybe it never did.
If the text is divinely inspired, this can't be human error.

The same Book of Isaiah prophecies Lucifer, who's name means "morning star". Jesus Christ is called "morning star" in Revelation (22:16). Lucifer is charged with ascending God's own throne, to the heights, and Jesus Christ did this on accident or on purpose if he is not really God.
I believe I have evidence I may be leading the ascendant life of the Antichrist
I'm an asexual virgin born in Virginia, and I have long brown hair and a beard, so I look superficially like Jesus in the paintings.
March 23, 1985 is my birthday. 23 is by (Robert Anton Wilson et al) many conspiracy theorists considered the number of the Illuminati, or of significance.
