Proper name Lucifer is covered with mystery and duality of attitude towards him. For some, it is associated with theomachism, for others it is unacceptable even for pronunciation, since it concentrates evil itself in itself. And yet, since the name Lucifer exists, everyone should know who it is or what is hidden behind this name. Recently, along with the revival of Christian traditions, like mushrooms in the forest, some new, home-grown religions appear, aimed at unconditional worship of something or someone, and not at the upbringing and uplifting of the soul. Even the infamous Sergei Mavrodi published a book where the title mentions the son of Lucifer.
A bit of history
In ancient Rome, Lucifer is the most common male name. Translated from Latin and Greek, its meaning was understood approximately the same: "the first morning light." And this light was associated with the planet Venus. It was she who was the brightest “morning star” in our sky after the Moon and the Sun, and this name is found in Virgil in the Aeneid. And yet, for the first time, Lucifer is mentioned in the Old Testament (the book of Isaiah) in relation to the dynasty of Babylonian kings, who in their pride became like a fallen angel.
Former angel
This is none other than the devil himself. Everyone knows the legend of how the mighty archangel was cast down from heaven. And his name is Lucifer. Anyone who disputes this must understand the futility of such attempts. Even if a passage of the Bible was misinterpreted in ancient times, now it is still impossible to rehabilitate the name of Lucifer - it will forever remain synonymous with Satan. But how he, called to bring light, turned out to be the ruler of evil, undoubtedly requires understanding and correct interpretation. God is love, endless creation and perfection. God gives everyone the right to self-determination. God himself obeys the laws by which he creates. So by definition, he cannot punish anyone, however, like the devil Lucifer. Whoever does not realize this, the first may be on the hook of a comforting self-deception, unable to either elevate or save, this is the road leading to hell, which is paved with good intentions. No one has power over a person - he makes decisions himself: he punishes himself, he ex alts himself, obeying the same laws as all celestials. True, the chosen path can lead to God, or it can make you an accomplice of evil. The temptation that Lucifer once succumbed to gnaws at everyone, without exception. And so it continues, without abating for a second, the struggle for every soul in every soul.
Don't know what they're doing
The stage of rebellion as the legacy of Lucifer passes (consciously or not) every person. This can be called the search for the path to God. True, some get lost on this road and come to a dead end, and then in their helplessness choose Satan as their idol, thinking that by doing so they are challenging the unjust order of the world, forgetting that all tears and sorrow on earth are the work of human hands, and not someone's business. People are presumptuous in their desire to create another world just like Lucifer once did. Who invented it that the world can be remade by one, even the strongest personality? Yet evil is attractive. Many artists, even being creators from God, tried to comprehend its nature. And some succeeded. This, for example, is evidenced by the history of Vrubel's canvas "The Demon" and the effect the beautiful young man depicted on it has on people (there were several attempts to destroy this picture). Almost all world classics wanted to dissect evil in their works, to show all its fetid underside in order to develop immunity in people. But it didn't work out. Moreover, it is hardly possible for a modern horror film director with a speaking pseudonym - Lucifer Valentine (and this is a woman). To show unmotivated evil is to generate it many times.
