    Good point, lucifer is a word used in some translations of the bible though, this book Isaiah was originally written in Hebrew and the word was heilel, and this was translated to latin as lucifer. It was referring to a Babylonian king, not the devil, or the fallen angel, likely Nebuchadnezzar. Some translation use this or similar wording.

    Lucifer is latin and means light bringer, lux means light, ferre means bringer.

    The serpent was cursed to live as an animal on it’s belly. So not the same person as Nebuchadnezzar.

    Different devils (from the ancient Greek word diabolos) also not the same person, or one person
