Lucifer One of the names for the Planet Venus / The Morning Star.[7] This name was chosen in the King James translation of the bible. The morning star was used as a metaphor in Isaiah 14:12. It refers to King Nebuchadnezzar II having great power like the morning star, and then later falling from the sky due to his wickedness.[7] "How art thou fallen from heaven [the sky], O Lucifer [Venus], son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!"
