Yes, the being known as Lucifer is also referred to as Satan in the Scriptures. The name “Lucifer” comes from a translation of Isaiah 14:12, which says, “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!” In this passage, the term “morning star” (or “Lucifer” in Latin) is used metaphorically to describe a Babylonian king’s fall from power, but over time, Christian tradition has applied this name to the devil, associating his fall from grace with the figure mentioned here.

“Satan,” on the other hand, is a title that means “adversary” or “accuser” in Hebrew. This name is used throughout the Bible to refer to the devil, emphasizing his role as the opponent of God and the accuser of God’s people. For example, Revelation 12:9 identifies Satan directly, saying, “The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.”

Thus, while the names come from different origins and emphasize different aspects of his character, both “Lucifer” and “Satan” are understood to refer to the same fallen angel, who was once a bearer of light but became the embodiment of opposition to God and His purposes.
