“Thugs And Harmony”
Categories: GRAB BAG, RELATIONSHIPS, SATANWhere in the Bible would I get a physical description of Lucifer before he was cast down. I know he was God's choir director, and, supposedly, musical harmony emitted from his chest (as I heard one minister say). I'd like to read it for myself. I've tried the internet… but to no avail. Please help.Sincerely,

Dear Music In Mind,
The Bible doesn’t give a physical description of Lucifer… in fact, the Bible never uses the name ‘Lucifer’ to refer to Satan at all. The things you have been told are a great example of how many religious leaders say things that don’t have biblical truth behind them. There is only one Bible reference to the word ‘Lucifer’, and it is in Isa 14:12… and only in the King James Version. All the other versions use the words ‘Morning Star’… and the verse isn’t talking about Satan; it is talking about the Babylonian king (Isa 14:4).
The Bible never says Satan was God’s choir director, music emitted from his chest, etc. In fact, we are never given any specific detail as to what Satan is and where he came from. The Bible is silent about such things. There are millions of theories about him, but no biblical facts.
