The Day-Star of Deception: Uncovering the Symbolism of Venus in the Bible

In the Bible, the term "day-star" (or "morning star") is used to refer to the planet Venus. The phrase is derived from the Hebrew word "helel," which means "shining one."

In Isaiah 14:12, the prophet speaks of the king of Babylon as a "day-star" who has fallen from heaven. This passage is often interpreted as a reference to Satan, who was cast out of heaven and now seeks to tempt humanity with his false light.

In 2 Peter 2:4, the apostle Peter also uses the term "day-star" to refer to false teachers who promise a false dawn of spiritual enlightenment but ultimately lead people astray.

So, in both cases, the day-star is seen as a symbol of deception and false hope.
