Luke 10:18, a warning

L
Logic Feb 10, 2007

[b]Luke10:18[/b] [color=990000]And he said unto them, "I beheld Satan as lightning, and he fell from heaven."[/color]

Who was Satan?
Lucifer.
whose name means light.
[b]Isaiah 14:12a[/b] [color=990000]How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning![/color]

Lucifer = Strong Hebrew #1966
hay-lale'
From H1984 (in [b]the sense of brightness[/b]); the morning star: - lucifer.

lightning = Strongs Greek #796
as-trap-ay'
From G797; lightning; by analogy glare: - lightning, [b]bright shining[/b].

In Luke10:18, Jeseus wasn't tailkng about how fast Satan fell, but who he was in that he still fell being an Arch Angel, an angel of light.

Jesus was telling His desiples that Satan was as light as we are to be as light but not to glory in this.
This understanding goes with the context with the passage of Scripture better than most translations' interpretation.

The context of this Scripture is warning of pride, probably of which Lucifer was found with.
Since Lucifer was Arch Ange, He most likely had all the other angels under him.
[b]Luke 10:17[/b] [color=990000]And the seventy returned with joy, saying, Lord, even the demons are subject to us through Your Name.[/color]

The seventy were glorying in their authority, theire focus was misplaced, just as Lucifers' was.
