Yes — Lucifer was an exalted angel, the anointed covering cherub, given dominion over an angelic kingdom on a beautiful pre-Adamic earth, and his role before his fall was to rule that kingdom under God.
Les Feldick teaches from Isaiah 14 that Lucifer was an angel called the 'son of the morning' and 'the cherub that covereth.' God gave him dominion over an angelic world on the original earth—a place of incredible beauty and gemstones—and he ruled over an angelic host. His fall came because he was not content with that position; he exercised his own will, saying 'I will ascend into heaven... I will be like the most High.'
Isaiah 14:12-14 — This passage directly names Lucifer, describes his role as the covering cherub, and records the five 'I wills' that reveal his rebellion.
The Scripture directly says in Isaiah 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!' In verse 13 the Scripture records that Lucifer said in his heart, 'I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.' These verses reveal that before his fall Lucifer was in heaven, had a throne, and was a being of exalted position. The Scripture also indicates he had a role of rule over nations, because his fall is described as weakening the nations (Isaiah 14:12). In the New Testament, Jesus is shown the kingdoms of the world, and Satan claims he has authority to give them, saying 'All these things will I give thee' (Matthew 4:8-9).
Les Feldick teaches that Lucifer was an angel—specifically the cherub that covered—who was called 'the son of the morning' in Isaiah 14:12. Before his fall, God had given him a place of rule over an angelic kingdom on the original earth. The earth at that time, as Les describes from the context of Scripture, was a beautiful place filled with gemstones and the beauty of God's creation, including trees, flowers, and grass. It was populated by an angelic host, and Lucifer was their ruler. Les emphasizes that Lucifer was not satisfied with the position God had given him. In his heart, he repeatedly asserted his own will, saying 'I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God.' His ambition was to take a position above the angelic host and ultimately to be like the Most High—the God of creation. This was total rebellion against his Creator, and after his fall he is identified as Satan, the god of this world. Les also notes that the King James Version preserves the name Lucifer, while some newer translations remove it.
According to Les Feldick, Lucifer's role before his fall was that of the anointed covering cherub who ruled over an angelic kingdom on the original earth. Les describes that God had given him dominion over an angelic host. The earth he ruled was beautiful beyond description—filled with gemstones, trees, flowers, and grass. This is not mankind's earth; it was a pre-Adamic creation populated by angels. Lucifer's role was to be God's ruler over that angelic kingdom, but he was not content and instead sought to ascend into heaven and exalt his throne above the angels.
In the Scripture, God gave Adam dominion over the earth and told him to have dominion (Genesis 1:28). When Adam sinned, he lost that dominion, and Satan picked it up (Genesis 3). Les Feldick teaches this concept explicitly in several clips. He says that Adam was to be God's second in command, but when he dropped the ball, Satan picked up dominion and became the god of this world. In Matthew 4, Satan shows Jesus all the kingdoms of the world and says, 'All these things will I give thee,' demonstrating that at that time, he had the authority to give them. The Bible confirms this designation when it calls Satan the god of this world (2 Corinthians 4:4) and the prince of the power of the air (Ephesians 2:2).
Les Feldick teaches that Lucifer's iniquitous act was internal rebellion expressed through his own will. In Isaiah 14:13, the Scripture records that 'thou hast said in thine heart, I will...' Les emphasizes the phrase 'I will' as evidence of the exercise of his will. Lucifer desired to ascend into heaven, exalt his throne above the stars of God, and be like the Most High. This was total rebellion against his Creator, and he also intended to entice the angelic subjects under his authority to join him in that rebellion. After his fall, he became the adversary—Satan—who accuses believers day and night (Revelation 12:10).
Les Feldick describes the pre-fall earth as beautiful beyond description, filled with gemstones and the beauty of God's creation, including trees, flowers, and grass. This earth was populated not by mankind but by an angelic host, and Lucifer ruled over them. This description is based on Eden's gemstones (Ezekiel 28:13) and the Genesis account of a world that God created. Les uses these passages to show the splendor of the original creation that Lucifer ruled.
Les Feldick teaches that after his fall, Lucifer is identified as Satan and continues to operate in the earth as its ruler. He maintains dominion over the world, as seen in the New Testament where Satan offers Christ the kingdoms of the world. Les emphasizes that Satan is the god of this world tonight, and that he accuses believers before God (Revelation 12:10). His fall from heaven did not remove his earthly authority; it only ensured his final defeat would happen in the future, as described in Revelation 12.
Isaiah 14 Identification: Lucifer, Son of the Morning, Covering Cherub
Les identifies Lucifer as the angel called the son of the morning and the covering cherub, and shows that his rebellion began with 'I will' in his heart.
Dominion Transferred: Adam to Satan
Les explains that Adam was God's second in command with total dominion, but when he sinned, he lost it and Satan picked it up, becoming the god of this world.
Satan Accuses Believers Day and Night
Les shows the post-fall role of Satan as the accuser of the brethren, who accuses believers before God day and night.
Satan Has Access to Heaven Until Final Expulsion
Les describes how Satan could still enter into heaven's throne room before his final expulsion, as depicted in Job and Revelation 12.
Satan Claims Dominion Over Earth's Kingdoms
Les teaches that Satan offered Jesus the kingdoms of the world because they were his domain, demonstrating that he held authority over the earth's kingdoms.
Satan Rules the Earth as His Domain
Les explains that Satan's answer to God in Job that he came from walking up and down in the earth indicates the earth is his domain, where he rules.
Adam Lost Dominion, Satan Took It Up
Les explicitly states that Adam lost dominion when he sinned, and Satan was the one who picked it up, so Satan now holds dominion over God's creation.
Satan's Claim to the Kingdoms of This World
Les uses Matthew 4 to show that Satan indeed had the right to offer Jesus the kingdoms of the world, because they were his dominion at the time.
Isaiah 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!
This verse identifies Lucifer by name and title, and states that he weakened nations, indicating his former position.
Isaiah 14:13: For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
This verse reveals the internal rebellion of Lucifer—his determination to ascend and exalt his throne above the angels.
Isaiah 14:14: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
This verse shows Lucifer's ultimate ambition to be like the Most High, which is the essence of his rebellion.
Ezekiel 28:13: Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
This verse describes the original beauty and exalted position of the one associated with Lucifer, though Les specifically connects it to the covering cherub.
Matthew 4:8-9: Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
This verse demonstrates Satan's claim of dominion over the world's kingdoms, which he had received after Adam lost it.
Revelation 12:10: And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
This verse describes Satan's activity as the accuser of believers, a role he took on after his fall.
According to Les Feldick's teaching from the King James Bible, Lucifer was an angel called the son of the morning and the cherub that covereth. He was a high-ranking angelic being who had a throne and ruled over an angelic kingdom on the original earth.
Lucifer was God's appointed ruler over an angelic kingdom on a beautiful pre-Adamic earth. He was the covering cherub who had dominion over an angelic host. He was not satisfied with that position and wanted to be like the Most High.
Les Feldick points out that the name Lucifer is present in the King James Version of Isaiah 14:12, and notes that some new translations have removed it. He identifies Lucifer by that name in his teaching.
Lucifer fell because he said in his heart, 'I will ascend into heaven... I will be like the most High' (Isaiah 14:13-14). His rebellion was an act of his own will, desiring to exalt himself above God, and he was cast down from heaven.
Yes, according to Les Feldick's teaching, the angelic being named Lucifer in Isaiah 14 is the same being who later is identified as Satan. After his fall, he is called Satan, the accuser, and the god of this world.
