Just wondering what is the Star of David is about maybe a connection to this and has that got anything to do with Jesus being the morning star? There was a bright star at his birth too maybe different things and meanings here, sounds the same but could have a different symbolism.
This could be it, the morning star was meant to be Satan anyway, he was meant to be the morning star that failed so Jesus took up the role as his will bring right where Satan's went wrong as the morning star, two different stars one that failed one that wins out of what is right so Jesus fulfils that role as he too came down as man but in a different way as saviour. Like two different philosophies going on here right wing or left in politics but does not mean it’s the same person.

The oldest known copy of the Book of Enoch is from around 160 BC. It was part of the what we would call the Bible today during the time of Jesus. It is quoted in Jude. Jude 14-15.
I know. I ask a lot of questions to try to get people to think. Just like I asked you who the mortal Babylonian king being talked about in Isaiah 14 is. Though you have made an effort to answer, you have not used the text to come up with the right one.
Baal means Lord or Master.
No doubt, that's why people should pay attention when someone talks of worshiping the Lord on SUNday. Best make sure which Lord is being discussed. That's a common smoke screen to fool the blind.
An epithet often used for Hadad, the Syrian storm deity. He's basically Marduk and Zeus. In the Bible Ba'al isnt even given the dignity of being a Demon. G-d says he is nothing more than the work of man's hands. Shaped and sculpted stone and metal.
Marduk and Zeus huh? I agree..........and Pan and Osiris and Jupiter etc. etc. etc. Baal is much more than the storm diety.
Semiramis? Youve been reading the Hislop hypothesis from a Protestant minister in the 1800s who created the idea that Semiramis and Nimrod were the source of all pagan deities. The truth is there isnt anything historcial to prove she even lived and especially was the source of Mother Goddess legends.
Nope, never read Hislop book, though I have run across the book on the net. I've just run across thousands of reasons why these dieties are connected. You just connected Baal, Marduk and Zeus. It's not hard to connect Osiris to Zeus or Dionysus the son of Zeus. Pan to Baal........no problem. Adonis to Tammuz..........That's why I ask a lot of questions to get people to think. How did Adonis die.....Killed by a wild boar......same as Tammuz. Imagine that.

I think its because of conditioning and self-ignorance that there is misconceptions not only about Lucifer and Satan, but many other things as well. A lot of people just repeat what they see or hear for others as well as the net and media. We consume these things and identify with them as our own, this is the spread of ignorance. These are household names now, and even I conjure up a stereotypical devil when I hear Lucifer or Satan. It is hard to do but people must break their conditioning and deny ignorance.

I'm not sure I can connect them all like that. Zeus, Hadad, and Marduk all are assocaited with Storms, Rain, Lighting, or Thunder. So its easy to associate them. I could throw Thor and Indra into that group as well.
Pan though. Pan is nothing like them. Osiris isnt like them either. Jupiter is similar to Zeus and later became the same but he didnt start out like that.
A number of deities are connected but it has nothing to do with Nimrod or a semi mythical Semiramis. Try to find the works of Joseph Campbell. He wrote a number of books on the same idea that most myths are connected.

I have run across Campbell on the net. Seems to have a problem denying archaeological evidence and draws plenty of wrong conclusions. I don't really read anyones books. I like to think for myself, as it's too easy to shoot holes in these these type books. If you are getting your info from Campbell you are looking in the wrong place.

Thanks for that, it is certainly a clear link between Lucifer and Jesus, and it is right there in the bible.
Of course, I am told regularly that I am not qualified to interpret scripture. It is my experience to hear that whenever I tell Christians I feel that the most likely meaning is what is actually written down.
Lots of times the experts, and the consensus view is that what is written actually means something else, like when it says teacher it means teacher, but when it says Rabbi, it means teacher, but only if it is referring to Jesus, etc.

No, Helel is simply the poetic name of a man in a prophecy who dies. Its just a dead guy or someone who will die.

I have made the earth, the man and the beast that are upon the ground, by my great power and by my outstretched arm, and have given it unto whom it seemed meet unto me. And now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and the beasts of the field have I given him also to serve him. And all nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son's son, until the very time of his land come: and then many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of him.
(Jeremiah 27:5-7)
But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.
(Matthew 12:39-41)
Jonah
Wicked seeds seek for a sign
Worm and blight, withered vine
Cruel sun blasting on their head
Without love, the wind is dead
But anger is not heaven's way
God sent love to save the day
Shining Son on cursed tree
Broken hearted slaves set free
