I've been researching theology lately and the following is a section from a book. It talks about the god Attr as being the dawn star/morning star. These are stories that predate Christianity so at this time Attr was acknowledged to be the son of the god "El" just like the god Yahweh was. In other words, Lucifer refers to the "morning star" who is Attr, and Attr was the brother of Yahweh before Christians reinterpreted Attr as an angel. “In Job 38: 7 we read that at the foundation of the earth the morning stars sang together,even all the sons of Elohim shouted for joy. Thus the morning stars are the sons of El, and in the first two chapters of the Book of Job El is seen presiding over the assembly of the sons of El. One of these brilliant morning stars, as he is walking on the mountain of El, says in his heart, "I will exalt my throne above the stars of El, and I will sit down upon the mount of assembly, in the recesses of Saphôn [probably = Ugaritic spn]," 2 but from there he is cast down because of his arrogance. This star reminds us very much of the Ugaritic god 'Attr "the Terror-striking," who is the Morning-star a son of El and Asherah. Thus the Bible reflects the old Canaanite belief in El as the absolute monarch over the pantheon of his sons, the shining stars, exactly as reflected by the title of the Ugaritic El.” “ 1 The rain or dew which the stars pour out may be the dew which falls in nature just before dawn, when the morning star arises. Thus the gods may have turned to the morning star, 'Attr, to give rain like the Rider of the Clouds, Ba'al.2 'Attr, however, was not able to compensate for Ba'al's rain, but had rather to descend from Ba'al's exalted throne and assume his inferior function of giving dew to the earth. Later, when Ba'al is revived and mounts his clouds again, pouring out rain so that the vallies flowed with water, he smites 'Attr, his rival, and takes over the reign over the earth. How 'Attr covets the kingship over the pantheon, but comes to a miserable end, is described thus: How art thou fallen from Heaven, Morning-star, son of Dawn! Thou art cut to the ground, that didst prostrate the nations! And thou that didst say in thy heart, I will ascend into the heavens, I will exalt my throne above the stars of El, and I will sit upon the mount of assembly, in the recesses of Saphôn; I will mount up upon the heights of the clouds, I will be like 'Elyôn: none the less art thou brought down to Sheol,3 to the recesses of the pit.4” {The last part is from Isaiah 14:12-15} Source: “The Conflict Between El and Ba'al in Canaanite Religion”
