Lucifer is Enki(Ea), and was demonized by Enlil for his disobedience. He chose to protect his creation(humans), rather than let Enlil destroy them all.
Lucifer Son of Dawn (Hebrew: Heillel ben shahhar), simply means "shining/howling one, begotten of light", which is translated as "morning star" in the NT.
The only reference in the Bible to "Lucifer" is from Isaiah, and it clearly is talking about the King of Babylon, not Satan.
How you have fallen from heaven, Helel Ben Shahar! 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 El; 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 El Elyon.”
- Isaiah 14:12-14
Deuteronomy 32:8-9
"When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance, when he divided all mankind, he set up boundaries for the peoples according to the number of the sons of Israel. For the LORD's portion is his people, Jacob his allotted inheritance."
"When Elyon gave the nations their inheritance, when he divided all mankind, he set up boundaries for the peoples according to the number of the sons of Israel. For Yahweh's portion is his people, Jacob his allotted inheritance."
(Older Version from Dead Sea Scrolls)
When Elyon allotted peoples for inheritance,
When He divided up the sons of man,
He fixed the boundaries for peoples,
According to the number of the sons of El
But Yahweh’s portion is his people,
Jacob His own inheritance."
Isaiah 24:21-23
In that day Yahweh will punish the powers in the heavens above and the kings on the earth below.
They will be herded together like prisoners bound in a dungeon; they will be shut up in prison and be punished after many days.
The moon will be dismayed, the sun ashamed; for Yahweh, of the Hosts will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and before its elders—with great glory."
How you have fallen from heaven, Helel Ben Shahar! 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 El; 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 El Elyon.”

Resheph is found in the third millennium tablets from Ebla (Tell Mardikh) as Rasap or Ra-sa-ap. He is listed as the divinity of the cities of Atanni, Gunu, Tunip, and Shechem. Rasap is also one of the chief gods of the city of Ebla having one of the four city gates named in his honor.[5]
"The fact remains that not once in the Torah did Shahhar refer to a gentile god."
The Abrahamic faith is not related to Canaanite religion.
The Canaanite religion is a bastardized distortion of the truth handed down by the Patriarchs
the Canaanites had a habit of personifying verbs to create their gods
know that is a popular ideology in the esoteric circles today....
This is something that the esoteric groups are happy to do.
The languages are the same,...
You have to take the scriptures in context,...
You have to take the use of the word out of context to arrive at a Canaanite deity.
One culture glorigied Yehwah, the other Ba'al.
The context simply isnt supportive of a Canaanite deity.
In the context of Isaiah, shahhar is not a personality, but an element. That element is light. By calling the shining one (heillel), the son of light (ben shahhar), God is identifying the character in question as an angel.
the Hebrew Torah, as preserved in the Masoretic Texts, are for the MOST part phonetically UNCHANGED...and I can prove that. The mythologies are fluid and inconsistent, the METERED Bible is unchanged.
