Overview

Traditional interpretation of the biblical references to Lucifer identify the name with Satan, the devil. Not so, says Dr. Sagie Govender. In this bold, new, paradigm-challenging examination of the Luciferian and related passages in the Bible, Dr. Govender builds a persuasive, step-by step argument that these passages-and the name Lucifer itself-refer not to the devil, the Adversary and Accuser of the brethren, but to Adam, the first man, the prototype human created by God in His own image.The core of Dr. Govender's argument is the biblical principle of the Law of Double Reference, which deals with the association of similar features or ideas; that is, comparing something that exists now with something from the past or future that displays similar characteristics. Accordingly, argues Dr. Govender, Isaiah 14:12, which contains the only biblical occurrence of the name Lucifer, has a double reference; first, to the king of Babylon, and second, to Adam, the first man. Through careful phrase-by-phrase examination of this verse, he shows that its description of the king of Babylon fits Adam much more closely than it does the devil. In a similar way, he shows that Ezekiel 28:11-19, the other biblical passage traditionally linked to Satan, actually refers, in double reference, to the king of Tyre, first, and then to Adam. In subsequent chapters he backs up his argument by examining pertinent New Testament passages, primarily from the Book of Revelation.Reading Lucifer: The First Man Adam, will lead you to see Adam, Satan, and, most importantly, God's redemptive plan of the ages, in a completely new and different light.
