“How you have fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!” (Isaiah 14:12; NKJV)
Lucifer – heylel – (in the sense of brightness); the morning-star: KJV - lucifer (the king of Babylon)(Strong’s)
Lucifer – light-bearer – the shining one, the morning-star, Lucifer; used of the king of Babylon and Satan (figuratively) (Brown Driver & Briggs Hebrew Lexicon)
See Isaiah 14:12-14; Ezekiel 28:11-19; Luke 10:18
Allusion: a reference, especially a covert, passing, or indirect one (Reader’s Digest Oxford Complete Wordfinder)
It would seem that this description of the king of Babylon is an allusion to Satan...
