Daystar

/DAY-star/

Summary

The morning star that heralds the dawn, applied to Christ and figuratively to truth arising in the heart.

☩Christ the Morning Star

Jesus identifies Himself as 'the bright and morning star' and promises to give the morning star to overcomers. Peter encourages believers to heed prophecy 'until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts'—a reference to Christ's appearing and His illumination within believers.

Key verses:Revelation 22:16Revelation 2:282 Peter 1:19

☩Fallen Daystar

Isaiah's lament over the king of Babylon includes 'How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!' The Hebrew word means 'shining one' or 'day star.' This passage has been applied to Satan's original fall from his exalted position.

Key verses:Isaiah 14:12
