Devil Names:
Some biblical scholars, however, claim Lucifer isn’t a proper name but a descriptive phrase meaning “morning star.” Still, the name stuck and the Devil is often referred to as Lucifer.
Names for the Devil are numerous: Besides Lucifer, he may be referred to as the Prince of Darkness, Beelzebub, Mephistopheles, Lord of the Flies, the Antichrist, Father of Lies, Moloch or simply Satan.
The book of Ezekiel includes another Biblical passage Christians refer to as proof of the Devil’s existence. It admonishes the greedy King of Tyre but also refers to the king as a cherub who was once in the Garden of Eden. As a result, some Bible translators believe the King of Tyre was a personification of the Devil.
The Devil make more appearances in the Bible, especially in the New Testament. Jesus and many of his apostles warned people to stay alert for the Devil’s cunning enticements that would lead them to ruin. And it was the Devil who tempted Jesus in the wilderness to “fall down and worship him” in exchange for riches and glory.
NAMES FOR THE DEVIL
The Devil* is a complex figure in Western belief. There is a long history that deals with the concept of the devil from the earliest Judeo-Christian traditions through the Dark Ages and the Middle Ages up until the present. The Devil is often confused with other kinds of supernatural beings like demons. The term 'devil" arrives in English via the Latin word "diabolus" which is derived from Late Greek diabolos meaning "slander". This in turn is derived from a Greek verb "to slander" diaballein. Ballein itself means "to hurl".
Demon, on the other hand derives from the Latin daemōn ultimately from the Greek daimōn meaning "divine power".
The Devil, because of his history which we will be discussing later, is known by a number of terms, some of the more commoon of which are listed below:
Azazel In Leviticus 16:8 the term appears in the line "He is to cast lots for the two goats—one lot for the LORD and the other for the scapegoat." The term for "scapegoat in Hebrew in this line is "Azazel". In the book of Enoch, Azazel is one of the "watcher" or "fallen" angels (grigori (who mate with human women) and produce a race of "giants" or nephalim. Although there are supposed to be 2000 of these angels, the apocryphal Book of Enoch lists only the leaders: These are the names of their chiefs: Samyaza, who was their leader, Urakabarameel, Akibeel, Tamiel, Ramuel, Danel, Azkeel, Saraknyal, Asael, Armers, Batraal, Anane, Zavebe, Samsaveel, Ertael, Turel, Yomyael, Azazyel (also known as Azazel). These were the prefects of the two hundred angels, and the remainder were all with them. (Enoch 7:9) Azazel taught people to make weapons of war and taught women to make cosmetics. In the Book of Enoch it is because of the iniquities created as a result of Azazel God wipes out the world with a flood saving only Noah. Azazel may mean "The strong one of God" (El being one of the words for God) 'aziz 'el. 'Aziz is also a Canaanite deity that makes the sun burn hotly. May have been influenced by the Egyptian god Seth.
Beelzebub: Possibly for "exaulted Baal" (Baal being a word sometimes equal to God. It is sometimes thought to mean "Lord of the Flies".
Belial (means "one who acts reprehensively") In one of the Dead Sea Scrolls Belial is the leader of the forces of darknessin their war against the forces of light. Belial is consideed by some the father of Lucifer and the instigator of Lucifer's rebellion.
Lucifer: "The bearer of light" (possibly a reference to the the statement that discusses the "fallen angels" as falling like stars). The name is usually used to refer to the angel that led the revolt of the angels. Just to confuse people, occasionally Lucifer refers to Venus when it rises in the morning before theh sun.
Mastema: Name may be from Hebrew mastemah meaning "enmity" or "hatred". It may be the Aramaic word mastima meaning "accuser" hence relating it to the word "satan".
Mephistopheles: The name of the Devil in the late 15th early 16th century Faust legend. Perhaps meaning "not light loving"
Sammael The name derives from sami - "blind". This name is used to call the Devil in Weber's opera Der Freischutz.
Satan: From a Hebrew word meaning "adversary" or "accuser". It occurs in the Bible as a term for someone approaching in the other direction on the road. When Jesus says "Get thee behind me Satan" he is not talking to the Devil but to Peter, one of the disciples who is attempting to convince Jesus not to got to Jerusalem where Peter understands that Jesus will be killed. Jesus implies that Peter is "obstructing" his path, not that Peter is the Devil.
Satanael or Satanail: Both are names derived from Satan but occur only in the Apocalyptic period.
Semyaza Name may mean "watcher" or "rebel"
Some names like Azazel are thought on occasion to mean the Devil, but this is not certain. The word seems to denote "scapegoat" meant for teh wiolderness. The name Azazel is used in the film Fallen
NOTES
*In this class I will capitalize the word Devil when it refers to the figure which figures in the Judeo-Christian tradition. The word devil is often used for other "evil spirits" and even occurs in words like "dust devil" a kind of small whirlwind. When the term refers to any other figure the word will be written with a lower case letter.
The gender of the Devil is problematic. Although, like the Judeo-Christian God, the Devil is often thought of as male, as evidenced by the use of the pronoun "he", there are those who argue the devil is andgrogynous (having both genders simultaneously) or having the ability take on whatever gender he/she or it chooses. For simplicity sake, I will stay with the traditional "he" in discussing the devil.
The story of Lucifer’s fall is described in two key Old Testament chapters—Ezekiel 28 and Isaiah 14. Let’s briefly look at both of these.
It would seem from the context of Ezekiel 28 that the first ten verses of this chapter are dealing with a human leader. Then, starting in verse 11 and on through verse 19, Lucifer is the focus of discussion.
The Fall of Lucifer in the Bible
What is the rationale for the conclusion that these latter verses refer to the fall of Lucifer? Whereas the first ten verses in this chapter speak about the ruler of Tyre (who was condemned for claiming to be a god though he was just a man), the discussion moves to the king of Tyre starting in verse 11. Many scholars believe that though there was a human “ruler” of Tyre, the real “king” of Tyre was Satan, for it was he who was ultimately at work in this anti-God city and it was he who worked through the human ruler of the city.
Some have suggested that these verses may actually be dealing with a human king of Tyre who was empowered by Satan. Perhaps the historic king of Tyre was a tool of Satan, possibly even indwelt by him. In describing this king, Ezekiel also gives us glimpses of the superhuman creature, Satan, who was using, if not indwelling, him.
Now, there are things that are true of this “king” that—at least ultimately—cannot be said to be true of human beings. For example, the king is portrayed as having a different nature from man (he is a cherub, verse 14); he had a different position from man (he was blameless and sinless, verse 15); he was in a different realm from man (the holy mount of God, verses 13,14); he received a different judgment from man (he was cast out of the mountain of God and thrown to the earth, verse 16); and the superlatives used to describe him don’t seem to fit that of a normal human being (“full of wisdom,” “perfect in beauty,” and having “the seal of perfection,” verse 12 NASB).
Who Is Lucifer, Why Did He Rebel?
Our text tells us that this king was a created being and left the creative hand of God in a perfect state (Ezekiel 28:12,15). And he remained perfect in his ways until iniquity was found in him (Ezekiel 28:15b). What was this iniquity? We read in Ezekiel 28:17, “Your heart became proud on account of your beauty, and you corrupted your wisdom because of your splendor.” Lucifer apparently became so impressed with his own beauty, intelligence, power, and position that he began to desire for himself the honor and glory that belonged to God alone. The sin that corrupted Lucifer was self-generated pride.
Apparently, this represents the actual beginning of sin in the universe—preceding the fall of the human Adam by an indeterminate time. Sin originated in the free will of Lucifer in which—with full understanding of the issues involved—he chose to rebel against the Creator.
This mighty angelic being was rightfully judged by God: “I threw you to the earth” (Ezekiel 28:18). This doesn’t mean that Satan had no further access to heaven, for other Scripture verses clearly indicate that Satan maintained this access even after his fall (Job 1:6-12; Zechariah 3:1,2). However, Ezekiel 28:18 indicates that Satan was absolutely and completely cast out of God’s heavenly government and his place of authority (Luke 10:18).
Isaiah 14:12-17 is another Old Testament passage that may refer to the fall of Lucifer. We must be frank in admitting that some Bible scholars see no reference whatsoever to Lucifer in this passage. It is argued that the being mentioned in this verse is referred to as a man (Isaiah 14:16); is compared with other kings on the earth (verse 18); and the words, “How you have fallen from heaven” (verse 12), is alleged to refer to a fall from great political heights.
There are other scholars who interpret this passage as referring only to the fall of Lucifer, with no reference whatsoever to a human king. The argument here is that the description of this being is beyond humanness and hence could not refer to a mere mortal man.
There is a third view that I think is preferable to the two views above. This view sees Isaiah 14:12-17 as having a dual reference. It may be that verses 4 through 11 deal with an actual king of Babylon. Then, in verses 12 through 17, we find a dual reference that includes not just the king of Babylon but a typological description of Lucifer as well.
If this passage contains a reference to the fall of Lucifer, then the pattern of this passage would seem to fit that of the Ezekiel 28 reference—that is, first a human leader is described, and then dual reference is made to a human leader and Satan.
It is significant that the language used to describe this being fits other passages in the Bible that speak about Satan. For example, the five “I wills” in Isaiah 14 indicate an element of pride, which was also evidenced in Ezekiel 28:17 (cf. 1 Timothy 3:6 which makes reference to Satan’s conceit).
As a result of this heinous sin against God, Lucifer was banished from living in heaven (Isaiah 14:12). He became corrupt, and his name changed from Lucifer (“morning star”) to Satan (“adversary”). His power became completely perverted (Isaiah 14:12,16,17). And his destiny, following the second coming of Christ, is to be bound in a pit during the 1000-year millennial kingdom over which Christ will rule (Revelation 20:3), and eventually will be thrown into the lake of fire (Matthew 25:41).
