This usage as a reference to a [[fallen angel]] stems from a particular interpretation of ~~{{bibleverse\|\|~~Isaiah\|14:3-20~~\|ESV}}~~, a passage that speaks of someone who is given the name of "Day Star" or "Morning Star" (in [[Latin]], ''Lucifer'') as fallen from heaven.~~<ref>The Hebrew word שמימ (heaven) means "sky, heaven(s)" ([http://strongsnumbers.com/hebrew/8064.htm Strong's Numbers Online Bible Dictionary).]</ref> {{bibleverse\|~~2\|Peter\|1:19~~\|ESV}}~~ and elsewhere, the same Latin word ''lucifer'' is used of the morning star with no relation to Satan. However, in writings later than those in the Bible, the Latin word has often been used instead as a proper name for Satan.	+
