I have never seen anything like that in the bible so I can't accept any of it. Lucifer's name in Hebrew is Heylel and that's all that matters.
So youre saying Latin is spoken in Heaven? Lux and Fer come from Latin.

You are asking the wrong question. In the event, it is aluded to in the Pauline epistles.
It's in the Syriac Orthodox small catechism.
I believe that Isaiah 14:12-15 is the story of Satan, from the beginning of the creation. This may be known through threading of Isaiah 14:12-15, John 8:44, and Revelation 2:13-14, with Revelation 2:12 becoming the root according to, "Pergamos," meaning, height or elevation, and "Antipas," meaning, like the father. These two definitions are used to reference, "heights", and "like," in Isaiah 14:14. John 8:44 may be implicated with the word, "father", and "murderer" for "martyr" in Revelation 2:13. The place where Satan dwelleth is, in his "heart", as found in Isaiah 14:13 in which he "abode not in the truth" in John 8:44. I believe that, Antipas, may be, "the deep," in Genesis 1:2.
[Isa 14:12-15 KJV] 12 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!
13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
[Rev 2:12-13 KJV] 12 And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;
13 I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, [even] where Satan's seat [is]: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas [was] my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.
[Jhn 8:44 KJV] 44 Ye are of [your] father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
No. It only "lines up" if we superimpose our meaning on the text. The original audience would have thought Isaiah was waxing poetic about the King of Babylon. Jesus could have quoted this passage and given it new meaning, as he sometimes did, but he didn't. Jesus comment in Luke 10:18 serves a purpose of encouraging his disciples -- not an impromptu theology lesson about Satan. So why do we feel justified to use passages to give new meaning to other passages without any regard for the original meaning? I think this is a form of divination -- witchcraft.Doesn't Isaiah 14 line up with Jesus saying satan fell from heaven? It gives backstory.
The OP's references are not sufficient to prove this and in the end we are talking about figurative references which make it even more difficult.
This is nothing but opinion with nothing behind it to support the claim. The OP has many citations offering evidence and no one has gone one by one and disputed any of them.
Isaiah 14:12 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!
Who else but Satan will literally fall from heaven?
Isaiah 14:13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
Who else but Satan could ascend into heaven like he did in Job?
Isaiah 14:14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
Paul wrote that the Antichrist will also seek to do this and whether the AC is Satan or a Satan possessed man it still is a reference to Satan.
Isaiah 14:15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
Exactly what Rev 20 depicts happening to Satan!
Isaiah 14:16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;
Isaiah 14:17 That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?
Satan bound for a thousand years and I can easily imagine people saying this about him!
That's far too many coincidences to just be about some old king of Babylon as all of it exactly pertains to Satan and what is going to happen to him and what he tries to accomplish.
If, on the other hand, you see theology of Satan, then why didn't the original audience get it?
Why didn't Isaiah put it to them in words they would understand?
The prophetic genre has tell tale signs -- hyperbole, merisms, rhetoric -- and Isaiah is interested in helping his people understand why they were taken into captivity and how they will be delivered. He is interpreting their suffering and giving them hope.
Same reason anyone ceases to understand something. Plus, how do you know they didn't? It's been long understood that Lucifer is Satan.
He did.
Why not a single word on how all of these things are things that Satan accomplishes or experiences? Silence is the loudest sound
If you think that the Hebrews adopted this view of Satan based on Isaiah 14, where is your proof?
Commentaries from that long ago don't exist but the Christian church has long taught this though it's not universally accepted.
Yes, the commentaries exist. See your local Jewish Rabbi. The Christian church has not been unified on teaching anything. Certain branches teach this. But the length of time it has been taught by a Christian sect is irrelevant to whether or not it is true.
It has been taught a long time, but that doesn't make it true. Modern Mormons teach that Lucifer and Jesus are brothers. If this belief persists for many more years does that make it true?It's been suggested this is a new idea but the church has taught it a long time. And no, those commentaries don't exist.
It looks like Origen and Jerome are credited with the beginnings of connecting Isaiah 14 to Satan, and that would have been the 3rd century CE. Isaiah would have been penned at least 1,000 years before, no?
It has been taught a long time, but that doesn't make it true. Modern Mormons teach that Lucifer and Jesus are brothers.
And I find it amazing you don't recognize that Hebrews then and Hebrews now did not and do not interpret Isaiah 14 as referring to the Christian concept of Satan.
You don't understand why I said that. It was said that the belief is modern and it is not. I never used the age of the belief as proof it's true.
I'm saying no one can say no ancient Jews believed Lucifer could be Satan. You are using newer commentaries and claiming that was the belief of those that were alive near the time the passages were written but that's a large gap of time where writings are not in our possession.
I know what Rashi and the Talmud says. I am saying what did people think long before those? We don't know and it doesn't even matter if they properly understood it or not. Often scriptures are meant for future generations to understand.
