The name Lucifer originally denotes the planet Venus,
emphasizing its brilliancy. The Vulgate employs the
word also for "the light of the morning" (Job 50:17),
"the signs of the zodiac" (Job, xxxviiii, 32), and "the
aurora" (Psalm 109:3). Metaphorically, the word is
applied to the King of Babylon (Isaiah 14:12) as
preeminent among the princes of his time; to the high
priest Simon son of Onias (Ecclus. 50:6), for his
surpassing virtue, to the glory of heaven (Apoc.,
2:28), by reason of its excellency; finally to Jesus
Christ himself (II Petr. 1:19; Apocalypse 22:16; the
"Exultet" of Holy Saturday) the true light of our
spiritual life. The Syriac version and the version of
Aquila derive the Hebrew noun helel from the verb
yalal, "to lament";
St. Jerome agrees with them (In
Isaiah 1:14), and makes Lucifer the name of the
principal fallen angel who must lament the loss of his
original glory bright as the morning star. In Christian
tradition this meaning of Lucifer has prevailed; the
Fathers maintain that Lucifer is not the proper name of
the devil, but denotes only the state from which he has
fallen (Petavius, "De Angelis", III, iii, 4).

And where above does the original Greek equate the phrase 'morning star' to Satan?
The Greek word, phosphorus, was used to donate the day star, not an angel.

The Word Satan is not a name. Satan is an adversary. In Greek Satan is referd to as Diabolos (slanderous, accusing falsely) . And it is related to the text i posted.
There are two who are called the morning star. Jesus and the adversary Satan. One is the morning star, the adversary Satan exalts himself as the morning star.

Thank you for telling me the exact same thing I have been posting for over two years and two thousand posts.

The Hebrew usage in Job was 'heilel' which meant 'shining thing' and this was not in reference to a fallen angel as the Biblical Jews did not believe a creation of God could separate itself from God. There was no such thing as fallen angels.

That was from a book called "The Brotherhood" by Stephen Knight. I'm reading that one at the moment. Got a pdf version.
Convicts who quit school in the fifth grade cited the Merovingian dynasty to demonstrate that Jimmy Hoffa simply had to go. (It’s said he learned that unions are run by Masons and became a liability. He knew too much.)

There's many secrets, but only one truth and actually if one were to truly study enough, they can easily find the truth, they definitely do not worship Satan that is pretty clear, but the reason for all the secrecy is to hide a certain truth.
