Isaiah 14 Scofield
Read Isaiah 14 · Matthew Henry on Isaiah 14

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!
“son of the morning”
Isa 14:12–14 evidently refer to Satan, who, as prince of this world-system (see "World," John 7:7 (See Scofield "Rev 13:8") is the real unseen ruler of the successive world- powers. Tyre, Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, Rome, etc. (see Ezek 28:12–14 Lucifer, "day-star," can be none other that Satan. This tremendous passage marks the beginning of sin in the universe. When Lucifer said, "I will," sin began. See Scofield "Rev 20:10".
See other instances of addressing Satan through another, Gen 3:15; Matt 16:22; Matt 16:23.

14:26 This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth: and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations.

This universality is significant and marks the whole passage as referring, not merely to a near judgment upon Assyria, but in a yet larger sense to the final crash of the present world-system at the end of the age. (See "Times of the Gentiles," Luke 21:24; Rev 16:14; Dan 2:44; Dan 2:45 "Armageddon,"; Rev 16:14; Rev 19:17. No other such universal catastrophe on the nations is known to Scripture.
