Lucifer

Origin

The etymological origin is the decisive canon of the Latin 'Lucifer (Lucifer, lux + ferre, light-bringer)' — the decisive canon of the Latin common noun originally referring to the morning star of Venus. The decisive Old Testament canon is the decisive origin canon of Isaiah (Isaiah) 14:12-15 of c. 6th century BCE — a satire against the king of Babylon: 'How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning (Heylel ben Shahar)!' — the decisive canon, with Jerome's (Jerome) Latin Bible Vulgate (Vulgate) of the 4th century translating Heylel as 'Lucifer', and the decisive canon of later Christian theology reinterpreting this satire as the myth of Satan's fall. The decisive New Testament canon is the decisive canon of Luke (Luke) 10:18 of the 1st century CE — 'I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven' — and Revelation (Revelation) 12:7-9 — Michael and his angels fighting against the great dragon, the old serpent Satan, casting him out of heaven. The decisive theological canon is the decisive canon of Augustine of Hippo's (Augustine of Hippo, 354-430) The City of God (De Civitate Dei) Book 11 Chapter 13 of the 5th century — Lucifer's fall through pride — and the decisive canon of Thomas Aquinas's (Thomas Aquinas, 1225-1274) Summa Theologica (Summa Theologica) Part I Question 63 of the 13th century.

Stories

Heylel ben Shahar in Isaiah 14:12-15 of c. 6th century BCE is the decisive origin, and the decisive textual canon is the 'Lucifer' translation of Jerome's Vulgate of the 4th century, Dante's Divine Comedy Inferno Canto 34 of c. 1308-1320, and John Milton's Paradise Lost of 1667. The decisive canon called upon in literature and art as the symbol of pride, rebellion, free will, and Enlightenment, and theologically the decisive canon as the Prince of 'Pride' of the Seven Deadly Sins in Peter Binsfeld's 1589 classification. The decisive canon reinterpreted as a tragic and noble rebel rather than simple evil since the Renaissance and Romanticism, becoming the standard anti-hero prototype of modern fantasy. The decisive 21st-century video canon is the decisive 21st-century global video canon of the TV series Lucifer (Lucifer) (TV adaptation of the 2000-2006 DC Comics Vertigo spin-off Lucifer of Neil Gaiman's 1989 comic The Sandman, starring Tom Ellis (Tom Ellis)) by USA Fox (Seasons 1-3) and Netflix (Seasons 4-6) from 25 January 2016 to 10 September 2021 — 6 seasons, 93 episodes.

Weakness

Lucifer's weaknesses are: (1) Pride (Superbia) — the decisive canonical weakness — pride itself, which caused the fall, is the weakness, the decisive canon of being trapped in eternal wrath endlessly comparing God and himself; (2) the ice of Cocytus — the decisive canonical weakness — the decisive canon of being frozen up to his chest in the ice of the deepest Cocytus (Cocytus) of hell in Dante's Divine Comedy Inferno Canto 34, unable to move freely; (3) Michael's sword — the decisive canonical weakness — the decisive canon of being cast out of heaven by Michael's sword in Revelation 12:7-9; (4) Christ's authority — the decisive canonical weakness — powerless before Christ's authority; (5) God's name — the decisive canonical weakness — powerless before God's name; (6) binding of infinite freedom — the decisive canon; (7) binding of the sacred domain — the decisive canon; (8) binding of the apocalypse — the decisive canon of the thousand-year binding and the final binding in the lake of fire in Revelation 20:1-3 and 10. The decisive canonical finale is the decisive mythological canon of Revelation 20:10 — 'And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone'.
