Description by Mister 13

Aerosol spray on canvas.Lucifer ( Hebrew: הֵילֵל, hēlēl, \"shining one\" Greek: Ἑωσφόρος, Heosphoros, \"dawn-bearer\"; Latin lucem ferre, \"light-bringing\") is a term in Christianity, that is applied to the Devil. Lucifer is the Septuagint translation of the Hebrew term \"Helel ben Shaḥar\" (\"the shining one, son of the morning\"), in the prophetic vision of Isaiah (14:12-14). The term Lucifer is used in the Vulgate (Latin lucifer, \"light-bringing\") and is applied to the morning star, Venus seen at dawn; it is also the KJV rendering of the Hebrew word hēlēl. After the name \"Lucifer\" became synonymous with the Devil in Christian culture, its use outside of the Bible was popularized in works such as Dante Alighieri\'s Inferno and John Milton\'s Paradise Lost. Metaphorically, the title Lucifer is applied to Jesus Christ himself.Lucifer is just another name for Satan, who as head of the evil world-system is the real, though invisible, power behind the successive rulers of Tyre, Babylon, Persia, Greece, Rome, and all of those evil rulers that we have seen come and go in the history of the world. This passage goes beyond human history and marks the beginning of sin in the universe and the very fall of Satan in the pristine, sinless spheres before the creation of man. Lucifer, Satan and the Devil are three different names for the same angel. Lucifer refers to this angel when he lived in heaven. As such, the Devil is seen as an allegory that represents a crisis of faith, individualism, free will, wisdom and enlightenment.
