shining one, morning star — epithet for the king of Babylon
A poetic epithet meaning 'shining one,' used in Isaiah's taunt against Babylon's fallen king. The phrase 'shining one, son of dawn' employs astral imagery to mock the king's pretensions — once appearing as brilliant as the morning star (Venus), now fallen from heaven. This imagery influenced later interpretations about Satan's fall, though the original context clearly addresses Babylon's historical defeat.

1. sense 1 — Translations vary significantly: English 'shining one,' Spanish 'Lucero' (morning star/Lucifer), reflecting different interpretive traditions. The Assyrian parallel 'muštilil' similarly describes Venus as morning star. Isaiah 14:12 uses this stellar metaphor to portray the dramatic reversal of Babylon's arrogant king, from heavenly heights to Sheol's depths. 1×
