Why lucifer

He has also lost his "Devil Face" as Lucifer calls it. While talking with Pierce earlier in the episode, Lucifer suggests that his gaining the face and later losing it is tied to his belief in himself as a monster. After he started feeling good about himself for the first time in a long time when he chose to tell Chloe the truth and saved Goddess , he lost the representation of being a monster and regained his wings back.

Once he killed Cain and began dating Eve , his wings took a demonic bat form. After coming to the realization he hated himself, Lucifer slowly started to take on his Devil self permanently. Eventually, his wings sprang out and wouldn't go back in. This "King of Hell" form is how he appears in Hell. Much like his face, his entire body looks like charred flesh on bone, razor-sharp horn on his massive monstrous wings, and extremely loud sonic roar and voice.

The very sight of this enormous, terrifying, devilish form and his king of hell sonic voice scared and petrified a large group of demons into bowing to Lucifer's commands and immediately returning to Hell.

At the end of " Who's da New King of Hell? This likely happened because of Chloe's total acceptance of who and what he was, even after seeing his full Demonic Form and Lucifer's self-sacrificing and selfless choice to return to Hell.

Being the devil and a celestial immortal being who has been alive since the dawn of time, Lucifer's perspective of life is vast and as such, sees human lives as ephemeral as memories and holds little value to them, considering from his point of view a human lifetime seems inconsequential with notable exceptions.

Therefore, he never hurries or runs when chasing his prey. Lucifer views his time on Earth as a vacation as much as a Human would consider a vacation to a wildlife park. Charming, eloquent and sophisticated, and fully aware of the fact, Lucifer carries himself with an air of supreme confidence, charisma, and egotism at times, pure arrogance which is due in part to his vast supernatural powers such as his immortality, near-invulnerability, and knack for hypnotizing Humans to spill their hidden secrets to him.

Because of this, Lucifer is always sure of success in whatever he does, regardless of whatever obstacles are in his way, and fears no consequences.

On the rare occasions where he fails to get what he is after, Lucifer usually displays remarkable temper control, often viewing such happenings with amusement and curiosity rather than frustration; a likely byproduct of his nigh-omnipotence. It takes a great personal attack or attack on someone he cares about, e. Chloe Decker to actually enrage Lucifer and when this happens, he immediately and sadistically unleashes his full, ruthless, terrifying hell-fired fury on the one responsible, all with a terrifyingly vicious smile on his face, and often shows his devilish, petrifying, blazing red eyes, sometimes a huge glimpse of his terrifying devil face, and he can be extremely ruthless and hell-bent on brutal revenge, and he is fearless of committing violence if need be.

Due to being a Fallen Angel , Lucifer is completely out of step with the social norms and societal rules of humans or, more likely, he simply chooses to ignore them. As a result, Lucifer tends to be brutally honest with every Human he comes across and enjoys acting inappropriately in any situation, regardless of the circumstances. Humans, who are unaware of his true identity, typically perceive Lucifer as sarcastic, rude, boorish, insensitive, completely inappropriate, arrogant, and incredibly irritating, even though they feel compelled to tell him their darkest secrets, due to his powers of coercion.

Lucifer is openly pansexual [15] and sexually promiscuous, he has had lots of sex with both men and women.

He has had sex with billions of men and women over all of the years he has been on earth since the beginning of time, he is obsessed with sex, as almost all human women and men find him carnally irresistible, sexy, and sexually attractive, which he sometimes uses to his advantage when he strikes deals with them. As something of a shock, Lucifer can sleep with over 92 people within two weeks which would leave a normal person either heavily exhausted or dead ; Lucifer himself notes he has "tremendous stamina", even stating he can have sex with one person twice in a row without resting.

Lucifer even states whoever he sleeps with is thoroughly exhausted to the point they sleep well through the night; he is also creative with sexual techniques. Referring to the 92 people previously, Lucifer considers the number "a dry spell", suggesting sex primarily takes up his time when not assisting Chloe.

To his disgust, Goddess claims Lucifer inherited his sexual prolific attitude from her. Lucifer has a tenuous relationship with his Angelic kin as a result of his rebellion against God , but he is completely unafraid of other Angels, such as Amenadiel , whom he treats with disdain and disinterest, despite the Angel's threats against him.

During the bidding for religious artifacts, Lucifer and Amenadiel joked about St. Paul being too fat to fit in the chains shown at the auction, showing that they subconsciously care about each other, but immediately stopped when they realized. Despite his flaws, Lucifer is very loyal, cares about certain people, and even shows quite a bit of remorse for the mistakes he made. During his time on Earth, Lucifer has gained a penchant for using his great powers for good rather than evil much to the chagrin of Mazikeen at times , not only punishing sinners but also gaining justice for the innocent in the process.

Hence, while at times very ruthless and vicious, Lucifer is not actually malevolent and is rather just and fair in his own way. Deep down under his confident exterior, Lucifer appears to be somewhat insecure about the permanent marks on his back from where his angelic wings used to be and implores Chloe not to touch them, briefly displaying an uncharacteristic gentleness and emotional vulnerability.

Lucifer has a very low opinion of his father, often criticizing people when they mention him, and gets annoyed with expressions containing the word "God". When Dr. Linda started to theorize that God sent Lucifer to Hell because he was the only one God trusted with this, Lucifer's voice cracked as he went through all that being the Devil meant, that he had made Lucifer a torturer and caused all humans to blame Lucifer for their problems.

Linda's continued support of God and calling Lucifer by his original name, Samael , enraged Lucifer to the point of punching a hole in her wall. Lucifer's hatred of God extends to God's followers, as when Father Frank Lawrence came to Lucifer for help, he was quickly denied and Lucifer assumed Frank had something to hide. However, as he became closer to Frank, Lucifer showed a more vulnerable side, revealing that he hated God because "he didn't believe in me".

Frank brought up that maybe God's plan for Lucifer wasn't over yet, which Lucifer seemed to consider. However, after Frank's death, Lucifer shouted at the sky in rage, claiming God to be a "cruel, manipulative bastard", and that Frank didn't deserve to die like that.

Lucifer also voiced there was no way to win in his game, regardless of being a malevolent or benevolent figure. During this, Lucifer came the closest to crying than he has ever had since coming to Earth, showing that when it came to God, Lucifer was at his most emotionally vulnerable.

Lucifer firmly believes " dad holds the reigns; end of story. Though he later accepts self-judgment is real. One of the few things that can truly annoy him is when people blame him when something goes wrong or when they say he made them do it.

He also dislikes Satanists as "the whole worship thing is more my father's bag" and is associated with goats which was a prank by Amenadiel. Another is being accused of lying: while Lucifer is one of the greatest manipulators in the Universe, he never ever lies. His mother the Goddess confirms this, and Amenadiel and Mazikeen seem to take it as a given. Although he will use hyperbole when he is joking or teasing if he says something in earnest it is the truth.

He is quite proud of this and it offends him when others don't believe him. In addition, Lucifer is extremely bold, with Amenadiel noting that he has never seen the former scared, with Lucifer only showing signs of fear after learning that his mother had broken out of Hell.

Though realizing the significance of Pierce 's identity as Cain also had Lucifer worried. He also displayed extreme worry when he saw his wings had changed. And when he began to morph into his Full Body Devil Form, he was worried about what he would become afterward. After he killed his brother, Uriel , because he was threatening to kill Chloe and take his Mother back to Hell, Lucifer was clearly emotionally shattered, crying into his mother's shoulder and shaking.

Despite having punished countless Humans and having watched many people suffer and die, he stated that he has never killed before, both due to him being an angel unable to kill Humans but also because he has never been driven or desired to do so. He also became very self-destructive, having no qualms about letting a shooter kill him and putting himself in harm's way to punish himself for what he had done. This shows that despite being out of Heaven for billions of years, and despite the fact that they can hurt and kill him, even when he can annoy them and vice versa , Lucifer still loves his Angelic brothers and sisters dearly.

This was also shown by the fact that he refused to let his mother return to Heaven, as he knew that there would be another war if she did and that more of his Angelic siblings would die. Lucifer found himself drawn to Chloe when they met aside from the vague memory of Hot Tub High School , finding her immunity to his charm intriguing. Through their work together with the LAPD , Lucifer began discovering new sides to himself; he found avenging murder victims by capturing their killers more satisfying than outright punishing them.

In addition, he grew less physically violent, preferring to intimidate criminals. Lucifer found himself willing to protect Chloe, even after learning her presence makes him vulnerable. Learning about her past and family, Lucifer grew closer to Chloe as he could identify with some of her past troubles. Ultimately, Lucifer realized he loved Chloe, with her love being what HE truly desired. After the Cain incident, Lucifer awkwardly attempted to start a genuine romance between them; however, it was derailed thanks to Kinley and Eve.

Despite their relationship being strained, Lucifer did maintain their work relationship. After saving Charlie from the demons, Lucifer realized the truth: despite Eve being his first lover, Chloe was the first woman he truly loved.

As of Season 5 Lucifer had grown as a person so much that his previous hedonistic attitude was largely absent; while he still indulged in booze and drugs, he did so more in private.

Lucifer's time keeping the demons in line matured him to the point where even Remiel admitted he had sacrificed his own happiness for the greater good. He also took his consultant work with the LAPD much more seriously but he still cracked jokes and let his troubles bleed into his thinking ; he showed great aptitude in deductive reasoning and even scolded God for turning his crime scene into a music video.

Even Chloe had to scold him less; instead using his issues to help resolve the cases. Amenadiel notes Lucifer had indeed become more mindful. Lucifer still teased Daniel , but was more friendly with him; he even tried helping him cope with the knowledge of the Celestials , since Daniel was slowly spiraling into madness after meeting God plus a brief death.

Though Lucifer was not above pulling an elaborate prank on Daniel for shooting him. Upon Daniel's death and learning he was in Hell, Lucifer was furious; showing how much he saw Daniel as a friend. When Daniel became a Ghost stuck on Earth, Lucifer was patient and tried to help him further, showing that all antagonism was gone and he truly valued Daniel. Upon finding out that Daniel had in fact made it to Heaven, Lucifer was truly pleased.

Lucifer and Chloe's professional partnership evolved into a relationship gradually. Chloe and Lucifer are friends and coworkers. Lucifer is curious as to how she can resist his charms and why he is vulnerable in her presence. Chloe finds him odd, but she admits to him that she likes working with him. While working together, they grow closer and develop a close friendship. Lucifer is shown to be attracted to Chloe and openly reveals his wishes to sleep with her, but Chloe constantly rejects his advances.

Recently, Lucifer and Chloe have finally come to realize their strong romantic feelings for each other. It has also be shown that Lucifer does indeed have feelings for Chloe as he was visibly upset after witnessing Pierce proposing to Chloe. Lucifer and Chloe have now finally slept together and are considerably boyfriend and girlfriend. This resulted in Lucifer 'transferring' his mojo unwillingly, of course to Chloe.

It seems, though, that Chloe can only use mojo on Lucifer. After Chloe is killed by Michael, it is Lucifer's selfless sacrifice of breaking his banishment from Heaven to resurrect her that earned him the chance to be the new God. Lucifer and Amenadiel's relationship improves to the point where Amenadiel willingly took charge of Hell for Lucifer to deal with Michael on Earth.

Lucifer and Amenadiel are brothers and are slightly antagonistic with each other. However, through the series, they learn to work together. Lucifer later becomes the Godfather of Amenadiel's son Charlie who Lucifer has come to care for greatly enough to the point where he willingly returned to hell to prevent the demons from abducting him and molding him into a figurehead for the demons to manipulate.

Upon returning to Earth it is shown that Lucifer's devil face actually calms Charlie down when he's crying and even makes him laugh when making faces, much to the relief of Amenadiel.

She is the one who cut his wings off and protects him. However, since Lucifer began working with Chloe, their friendship has started going through many hardships. Lucifer feels betrayed by her when he finds out that she told Amenadiel information about him. The tension between them leads to her leaving for a while.

While eventually becoming friends again, their friendship takes another hit when Maze learns of Lucifer's plans involving Goddess and heaven, feeling lied to and betrayed, with the two even fighting. Lucifer and Dan disliked each other greatly, but had no trouble working together, as shown when he finds out Chloe was kidnapped by Michael.

Lucifer dislikes Daniel, who he refers to as "Detective Douche". Daniel disapproves of Lucifer, objecting to his relationship with Chloe and Trixie. Lucifer gets jealous when Daniel reconciles with Chloe and tried to get Linda to separate them again.

Despite the mutual enmity, Daniel trusts Lucifer to protect Chloe and they eventually developed a working relationship. Their relationship reached its worst point after Charlotte's death, where Daniel blames Lucifer for her death, as he knew that Pierce was the Sinnerman but did not tell anyone, and hates him more than he ever did.

Of course, Lucifer, having developed a friendly relationship with both Daniel and Charlotte, felt genuine sympathy for Daniel's plight over his anguish of Charlotte's death, which he did regret, and was visibly affected when Daniel angrily told him he will always screw up being good, but at the same time, he was annoyed to see Daniel return to being a douche to him, stating Daniel was " a Douche again.

Ultimately, however, Daniel forgave Lucifer. Lucifer in return didn't hold a grudge and quickly forgave Daniel, visibly moved and pleased when Daniel tries to comfort and help him stay positive. Though Daniel broke down after seeing Lucifer's Devil Face and tried to kill him due to Michael's manipulation, Lucifer, although he was annoyed by Daniel, decided not to hold it against him. Lucifer even shows genuine concern when Daniel was exploded by God briefly and then resurrected, quick to confront his father over it and worrying over the effects it could have on him.

When Daniel dies, Lucifer is genuinely saddened by his death and hoped that he was currently enjoying Heaven only to learn to his further dismay and grief that Daniel was in Hell, stating angrily that Daniel did not deserve to be in Hell. As such, despite their previously tense relationship, it is proven Lucifer ultimately came to develop genuine care for Daniel and considered him a friend.

Daniel's death would end up being the reason why he decides to become the new God in order to both save Daniel from Hell and ensure what happened to him didn't happen to anyone else.

He was furious when he learned Michael was responsible. Lucifer struggled with telling Chloe that Dan was in Hell and was visibly upset and reluctant to even just say it, begging Chloe to not make him have to. After Daniel's death, Lucifer orders his Demons not to torture Daniel, pulls Daniel out of his Hell Loop and instead sets up Belios as his friend's ping-pong partner.

Lucifer often visits his friend in Hell and attempts to help him overcome his guilt and reach Heaven , but he refuses to intervene directly and simply deliver Daniel's soul to Heaven as that would be breaking free will, even if it is only Daniel's subconscious.

When approached by Rory to help her kill Lucifer, Daniel admits that his previous attempt is something that he regrets very much and is shocked to learn that Lucifer could've simply flown him to Earth the entire time. Daniel appears to betray Lucifer again, but once on Earth he attempts to warn his friend of the danger, only to get stuck as a Ghost.

Daniel is shown to believe that his betrayal of Lucifer is the regret that was keeping him in Hell and that by saving Lucifer's life, he has alleviated the guilt, but he proves to be wrong about this.

Daniel and Amenadiel are both unable to understand why Lucifer didn't simply return Daniel to Earth as Rory did. After seeing his family and being unable to interact with them, Daniel finally understands that Lucifer was doing him a favor by keeping him in Hell because Lucifer knew that being on Earth as a Ghost unable to interact with his loved ones is an even worse fate. Daniel begs Lucifer to return him to Hell, but Lucifer reveals that Daniel has become intangible even to him so Lucifer can no longer return him to Hell or take him to Heaven even if he wanted to.

This would also mean the baby Rory would grow up to someday time travel back to and initiate her predestination paradox.

Lucifer also crucially stopped Rory from killing Le Mec, which was an irrevocable act that would have earned Rory her own Devil face just like her father's. Out of love for Rory, Lucifer wanted to ensure that his daughter didn't damn herself and make the same mistakes the Devil did countless millennia ago.

The irony of Lucifer's ultimate choice to leave Rory and Chloe at the end of Lucifer season 6 is that it also ensured that Rory grew up with an absent father, just as Lucifer felt God Dennis Haysbert was an absentee father who banished Lucifer to Hell for rebelling. But Lucifer came to understand and forgive God in season 5 and similarly, his love for Rory caused the Devil to sacrifice being able to raise her in order to guarantee his daughter's continued existence in Lucifer season 6 and beyond.

Daily Devotionals x. Daily Bible Reading Plans x. Recently Popular Pages x. Recently Popular Media x. In some versions of the Bible, the personage described in Isaiah is called Lucifer.

The name Lucifer appears nowhere else in the King James Version. Other Versions Different Other versions however do not use the name Lucifer to describe this personage in Isaiah The American Standard Version of reads. How art thou fallen from heaven, O day-star, son of the morning! Most other modern versions translate this passage in a similar way as the American Standard Version.

Why The Difference? To understand the difference we must go back to the original language in Isaiah , Hebrew. The Hebrew word translated "day star" or "Lucifer" is Helel. This word has been rendered in a number of ways, because there was some question as to its exact meaning, and how it should be understood.

Helel has been understood to be the command form of the verb, "to howl. Therefore his name would be translated as "day star," or "bright one. Lucifero basically means "to shine.

In fact, the notes they kept during their translation deliberations were made in Latin. When they began their translation process, the Latin Vulgate translation of the Bible had been around a thousand years. Lucifero , the Latin translation of the Hebrew Helel , had already become a proper name for the Devil.

Instead of translating the term as "day star" or "bright one," they kept the popular Latin term "Lucifer. Bright And Morning Star Though the term "day star" has been attributed to the Devil, the genuine bright morning star is Jesus. It is I, Jesus, who sent My angel to you with this testimony for the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star Revelation Summary The reason Lucifer has been understood to be a proper name of the Devil has to do with the Latin translation of the Hebrew term Helel.

This word was understood, by some, to be a proper name for the king of Babylon. It means "light bearer," or Lucifero in Latin. The Latin title became a popular name for this evil figure. When the King James translators rendered the Hebrew term into English, they kept the popular term "Lucifer" for the Devil.
