man who outran a chariot ... 1 Kings 18:41-46

Isaiah 14:12 ... KJV

How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son
of the morning! how art thou cut down to the
ground, which didst weaken the nations.


Isaiah 14:12 (New International Version)


12 How you have fallen from heaven,
O morning star, son of the dawn!
You have been cast down to the earth,
you who once laid low the nations!


Note: I wanted it to be made note of that the NIV drops the name Lucifer here ... it is crucial to know it is speaking of Lucifer here ... NIV adds star ... in the KJV it doesn't say morning star ...

a purpose of this verse is to reveal nature of Lucifer imitating Christ ... as you know Jesus is the bright and morning star by Jesus own words in Revelation 22:16 ...

I don't know how many other translations dropped this and added that ... my intent here is to make the missing and added info readily available
