The 411 - Lucifer

Lucifer is not the archangel Micheal. That's a completely different story!**  In Christian theology, Lucifer is the archangel who is believed to have fallen from heaven to preside over Hell.  According to the Bible, Lucifer was the archangel who rebelled against God and was cast out of heaven with a third of the angels who followed him.

The story of Lucifer's fall from grace is described in the book of Isaiah in the Old Testament. In Isaiah 14:12-15, it is written:

"How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations! You said in your heart, 'I will ascend to the heavens; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of Mount Zaphon. I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.' But you are brought down to the realm of the dead, to the depths of the pit."

The name Lucifer means "morning star" or "light-bringer", and he is described as a powerful and beautiful angel who was cast out of heaven due to his pride and desire to be equal with God. After his fall, he became known as Satan or the devil, and he is believed to be the embodiment of evil and the adversary of God and humanity in Christian theology.

The story of Lucifer's fall from grace has been the subject of many works of art and literature, and has become a popular topic in pop culture, including in TV shows, movies, and books.
