      My opinion is that it was mistakenly referred to as “Satan” and not the King of Babylon.
      As far as the word “Lucifer” goes, again the word for word translation from KJV should not be in the Book of Mormon.
      “helel ben shahar” (Hebrew) which translates into something along the lines of the son of the shining dawn helel (shining) ben (son) shahar (dawn).
      It isn’t until latin that it becomes “Morning Star” and then KJV makes it “Lucifer”

  2. People still write and plagiarize scripture to this day in many religions. Look how many “translations of the sealed portion” there are. My brother wrote scripture before, during and after his visit to the mental hospital where he met others writing scripture, even “encrypted numerical scripture” that was gibberish which still impresses those off their rockers. I which I’d made copies of some of these.
