Bible Matrix ⑦: Historical & Scientific Views on Daniel and Revelation

Part 2. Revelation

Revelation 2:18~29 - To the Church in Thyatira, adhered to the truth, but where false prophetess was active

Revelation 2:28 – (3) I will also give him the morning star

☞ Isaiah 14:12 - How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations! (NIV); How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! (KJV); How you are fallen from heaven, O shining star, son of the morning! You have been thrown down to the earth, you who destroyed the nations of the world. (NLT); How you have fallen from heaven, morning star [or day star; or shining one; still addressing the king of Babylon, though sometimes applied to Satan], even though you were as bright as the rising sun [son of the dawn]! In the past all the nations on earth bowed down before you [or were laid low by you], but now you have been cut down. (EXB)

○ The problem is that most of English Bibles translated the Hebrew word ‘helel’ in <Isaiah> 14:12 into English as “morning star”. In context, it must be (1) the king of Babylon and (2) Satan, but 'morning star' is applied to both Jesus Christ and Satan, causing confusion to those who read the Bible. Regardless of who mistranslated it, then how can we distinguish it between Jesus Christ and Satan?

○ In <Job> 3:9 and <Job> 38:7, the Hebrew word 'kokab(כּוֹכָב)’, meaning  star, was used, but all of them were translated as ‘stars’ as the plural in English Bibles. <Job> 3:9 refers to ordinary stars as 'morning stars', and <Job> 38:7 refers to all the morning stars that sang together after the creation of the heavens and the earth that appear in the first chapter of <Genesis>. Therefore, it does not refer to Jesus Christ who is the Only One (John 1:14, 1:18, 3:16, 3:18).

○ However, in <Isaiah> 14:12, English Bibles such as NIV, NLT, EXB, ESV, and GNT translated ‘helel’ into 'morning star or day star or bright morning star’, but here is no indefinite article ‘a’ or definite article 'the’. But as you can see <2 Peter> 1:19 and <Revelation> 2:28 and 22:16, all English Bibles added the definite article 'the’ as 'the morning star', ‘the day star’, 'the bright morning star' and 'the Morning Star‘. ‘The morning star’ with the definite article ‘the’ is definitely Jesus Christ who is the Only One. So, the Bible is not the false, it is the truth.

☞ <Revelation> 2:28 – I will also give him the morning star. (NIV); And I will give him the morning star. (KJV); And I will also give them the morning star! (NLT); And I will give them the morning star. (ERV); I will also give him the morning star [ usually the planet Venus as seen before sunrise, but here symbolically Christ at his return; 22:16; Num. 24:17; 2 Pet. 1:19]. (EXB)

☞ <Revelation> 22:16 - "I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star.“ (NIV); I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. (KJV); "I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this message for the churches. I am both the source of David and the heir to his throne(1). I am the bright morning star." / (1)Greek I am the root and offspring of David (NLT);  “I, Jesus, have sent my angel to ·tell you [testify/witness to] these things for the churches. I am the ·descendant from the family of David [root and descendant/offspring of David;  a messianic title applied to Jesus; 5:5; Is. 11:10], and I am the bright morning star [2:28; Num. 24:17;  a messianic title].” (EXB)

☞ <2 Peter> 1:19 - We also have the prophetic message as something completely reliable, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.) (NIV); We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: (KJV); Because of that experience, we have even greater confidence in the message proclaimed by the prophets. You must pay close attention to what they wrote, for their words are like a lamp shining in a dark place—until the Day dawns, and Christ the Morning Star shines[g] in your hearts. / g. Or rises. (NLT); This makes us more sure about the message the prophets gave [or And we also have a reliable message from the prophets; And we have the prophetic word confirmed;  probably referring to the Old Testament]. ·It is good for you [You do well] to follow closely what they said as you would follow a ·light [ lamp] shining in a dark place, until the day ·begins [ dawns] and the morning star rises in your hearts [Num. 24:17; Rev. 22:16; the planet Venus as seen before sunrise, here symbolizing Christ]. (EXB)
