When we read Isaiah 14:12 in the English, we don’t realize that one word from the original is not translated. Below are images of the original and the meaning of the untranslated word “yalal.”
Notice that the Hebrew word YALAL is not translated into English. The word means “howl”, “howling”, or “to make a howling” as seen below.
The original name of Lucifer in Hebrew is “Helel Ben Sachar”. Former Muslim Walid Shoebat and Stephen Pidgeon who is the editor of The CEPHER Bible have pointed out that the name Helel Ben Sachar has a connection to the crescent and star of Islam as the term for “crescent” in Arabic is “Hilal” which would be the same as the Hebrew “Helel” translated as Lucifer in English.
The Eth Cepher Bible translates Isaiah 14:12 as follows:
Read Stephen Pidgeon’s article on the translation of Isaiah 14:12 in the Eth Cepher Bible.
If we literally translate Isaiah 14:12 and insert the untranslated word “howling”, Isaiah 14:12 would read as follows:
“How art thou fallen from heaven, O crescent moon and star, son of the howling morning.”
But what does the “howling morning” mean, you might ask?
If you live in or have visited a Middle Eastern Muslim country, you know that every Islamic mosque has a minaret tower with an Islamic crescent and star with loudspeakers and that every morning there is a call to prayer which is similar to a howling sound. It is also interesting to note that dogs “howl” at the “howling” sound of the Islamic call to prayer.
Just do a google search on this and you will find that to be true. Below is a related video.
We can’t tell for sure whether the Hebrew word “yalal” is really referring to the howling sound of the Islamic call to prayer but it is interesting to note that there might be a connection there and that it could be another proof, among many others, that Islam is the system that Satan created to bring forth the Antichrist and his religious empire that will persecute the people of God In the last days.
Below is a screenshot of the etymology for Hilal and how it’s is cognate (has the same linguistic roots) as the Hebrew word “Halal” which is the root of the word “Heylel” in Isaiah 14:12.
We also explored in one of those articles how Isaiah 13 & 14 are about the future destruction of Babylon and it’s ruler who will be the Antichrist himself who shall rise in the Middle East as a radical Islamic leader.
Today I decided to check Arabic translations of Isaiah. I copied the text of Isaiah 14:12 in Arabic and pasted it to Google Translate and I was shocked to discover that the word “Hilal” is in fact used to describe what we know in English as “Lucifer” and “morning star.” Though I was shocked with that finding, I was not surprised a bit that the word would be translated as “crescent” on Google Translate.”
Below is a screenshot of the Arabic text of Isaiah 14:12 on Google Translate. See the word “Hilal” in the transliteration just below the Arabic text.
Below is a screenshot of the Arabic Bible Easy to Read Version on Bible Gateway.
This leaves no doubt in my mind that Islam’s rise as a system was foretold centuries in advance when Isaiah was prophesying the future destruction of Babylon, the fall of the king of a Babylon and the “crescent of the dawn” being the dark spiritual force behind Babylon and its ruler.
Other translation in Arabic removed the word “Hilal” and replaced it with two distinct words. One translation used the Arabic phrase “zahrat bint alsubha” which translates as “ O flower, son of the morning.” Another translation used the phrase “ya zuharatu, bint alsubhi” which translates as “O Venus, son of the morning.”
The Easy to Read Version linked above uses the phrase “ya hilal alfajri” which translates as “O crescent of the dawn.” I don’t know what caused these discrepancies in translations but one can suspect that Muslim authorities in Arab countries would not allow the word Hilal for crescent moon, the official symbol of Islam, to be used and published so the identity of Islam would not be associated with the evil system of Babylon and its ruler in Isaiah 14.
Given the fact that the Arabic word Hilal is cognate with the Hebrew word Halal which is the root word of Heylel, I think it’s safe to assume that the Easy to Read Translation of the Arabic Bible got it right.
We all know the famous passage from 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!” The name “Lucifer” comes from the Vulgate, the translation of the Bible to Latin by Jerome in the 4th century.

Below are different translations of that verse.
This is another installment in the series of articles showing how Isaiah 14 very likely points to Islam in the last days. I would encourage you to read the following articles linked below this article for additional information.
We saw in the previous articles the following points:
• How the Hebrew word Heylel translated as “Lucifer” is cognate with (has the same linguistic root as) the Arabic word Hilal translated as “crescent moon”
• How the term “howling” as found in the Eth Cepher translation of the Bible in Isaiah 14:12 which is missing in every other translation possibly refers to the howling sound of the Adhan or Islamic call to prayer sound that comes out of minaret loudspeakers every morning or “dawn” in mosques throughout the Middle East and Muslim countries and how that “howling sound” causes dogs to “howl.” See video below and search other similar videos on YouTube.
How the geographical context of Isaiah 13 and 14 ties Heylel to the land of Babylon and Chaldea and its end time prophetic role as the headquarters of the “Assyrian” and “King of Babylon”, the ruler who will rise to persecute and seek the destruction of Israel.
How the eschatological context of Isaiah 13 & 14 is about future events and how Babylon must rise again and become the temporary religious, political and military headquarters of the Antichrist before he invades Jerusalem and makes it the capital of his new Islamic Caliphate.
How the Hebrew word Halal, the root word of the word Heylel has the same meaning as the name of Muhammed. Both Halal in Hebrew and Muhammed in Arabic mean “praiseworthy”.
As we saw in the beginning, Heylel is called the son of the morning or “dawn” and Allah is called the Lord of the “dawn” in the Quran. Is this another coincidence or is it possible that due to advancements in technology and information we are beginning to understand what ancient prophecy is pointing to? I don’t claim to know the secrets of ancient prophecy, I only use the available technology and information to make observations and connect some dots.
The prophet Daniel was told by the angel Gabriel that his visions of end time events would not be understood until the time of the end as the vision has been sealed until that time. Are we beginning to understand what the near future holds as it relates to biblical prophecy? Only time will tell. Read all the articles linked below for a better understanding of the subject presented here.
“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!”
The name “Lucifer” comes from the Vulgate, the translation of the Bible to Latin by Jerome in the 4th century.
Since then the word came to be associated with Satan as the angel that was cast out of heaven but a closer look at the original text, the geographical and eschatological context of Isaiah 13 & 14 reveals something more.
Isaiah 13 starts with the oracle against Babylon in the land of the Chaldeans (modern day Iraq) and its future destruction in the end times. How do we know it’s about the end times?
The Eschatological Context
“The burden against Babylon which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw. . .For the stars of heaven and their constellations will not give their light; The sun will be darkened in its going forth, And the moon will not cause its light to shine.” (Isaiah 13:1,10)
Here we see that when Babylon is destroyed, the sun, moon and stars will go dark just like Jesus said will happen at the end of the tribulation:
“Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.” (Matthew 24:29)
The Geographical Context
“And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, The beauty of the Chaldeans’ pride, Will be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.” (Isaiah 13:19)
In this verse Isaiah says Babylon is the beauty of the Chaldean’s pride. This is explicitly telling the reader that the end time city and empire of Babylon is geographically associated with the land of the Chaldeans. Chaldea was located in what we know today as Iraq.
We also read that Babylon will be “as when God overthrow Sodom and Gomorrah”, that is, it will be destroyed by fire. That is what Revelation chapter 18 says will happen to Babylon as opposed to the conquest of Babylon by Persia without a battle in 539 B.C.
Isaiah 14 continues the oracle against Babylon with Israel’s future and final restoration:
“For the LORD will have mercy on Jacob, and will still choose Israel, and settle them in their own land. The strangers will be joined with them, and they will cling to the house of Jacob.” (Isaiah 14:1)
Isaiah proceeds with saying that when finally restored, Israel will take up a proverb against Babylon’s future and final ruler:
“It shall come to pass in the day the LORD gives you rest from your sorrow, and from your fear and the hard bondage in which you were made to serve,4 that you will take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say: “How the oppressor has ceased, The golden city ceased!” (Isaiah 14:3-4)
Later in the chapter this king of Babylon is called “the Assyrian” whom God Himself will destroy for invading His (God’s) land.
The LORD of hosts has sworn, saying, “Surely, as I have thought, so it shall come to pass, And as I have purposed, so it shall stand: That I will break the Assyrian in My land, And on My mountains tread him underfoot. Then his yoke shall be removed from them, And his burden removed from their shoulders. (Isaiah 14:24-25)
The final ruler of Babylon and Assyria (modern day Iraq) will be none other than the Antichrist and as we shall see, it all connects to Islam and Mohammed.
The following text from Isaiah 14 is from the Eth Cepher translation of the Bible by Dr. Stephen Pidgeon which agrees with the Jewish Orthodox Bible
“How are you fallen from heaven, O Heylel, son of the howlingmorning! how are you cut down to the ground, which did weaken the nations! For you have said in your heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of El: I will sit also upon the Mount of the assembly, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like El Elyon (Most High). Yet you shall be brought down to She’ol, to the sides of the pit. They that see you shall narrowly look upon you, and consider you, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?

The first thing we see here is that Heylel, not Lucifer is the subject of the prophecy. The word Heylel (Strong’s concordance H1966) comes from the root word Halal (Strong’s concordance H1984)
The word means, among other things, to be praised, praiseworthy and worthy of praise. Keep this in mind as we will come back to it later.
The Arabic word for “Crescent moon” is “Hilal”. The etymology of “hilal” is cognate (having the same linguistic derivation as another; from the same original word or root) with the Hebrew word Halal ה־ל־ל from which the word Heylel comes from as seen below.
In other words, the Arabic “Hilal” for “crescent moon” comes from the same root as the Hebrew words Heylel and Halal that translate as “shining one” and as “praiseworthy” or “worthy of praise.” Do you know what the name Muhammed means in Arabic?
The following is from Google Artificial Intelligence:
Did you get the connection? Isaiah 14 is telling us that the coming final ruler of Babylon who will rise to oppress Israel is associated with the Hebrew word “Heylel” that comes from the root word “Halal”. Those Hebrew words have the same meaning as the Arabic word for Muhammed and are etymologically connected with the Arabic word Hilal which translates as “crescent moon”, the very symbol of Islam.
The Temple Mount Connection
The text in Isaiah 14 says that Heylel wants to ascend to heaven, above the stars of God and sit on the “mount of the congregation” on “sides of the north” and be like the “Most High God.”
What is the ascension of Muhammad?
“The night journey and ascension of the Prophet Muhammad was a miraculous occurrence during which he travelled from Makkah (Mecca) to Masjid Al-Aqsa in Jerusalem before ascending to heaven, all in one night. Isra’ is the night journey from Makka to Masjid Al-Aqsa. Mi’raj is the journey from Masjid Al-Aqsa to the heavens.”
Did you understand this? Are you able to connect all the dots? Isaiah pretty much described what Muslims believe about the ascension of Muhammed to heaven during which he traveled to Jerusalem where the Dome of the Rock and Al-Aqsa mosques were built on the Temple Mount, the very place where the first and second Jewish temples stood.
But why build them on the Temple Mount specifically? Remember Heylel in Isaiah 14 wanted to sit on the Mount of the congregation on the sides of the north besides ascending to heaven?
Psalm 48:2 says that Mount Zion on the sides of the north is the Mount of the congregation of Isaiah 14:13, the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Have you already realized what is going on here? The Dome of the Rock and Muhammed’s delusional ascension to heaven is a partial fulfillment of Isaiah 14 and its final fulfillment will take place under the rule of the Antichrist or Muhammed Al Mahdi, the awaited Islamic Messiah.
Here is another is the interesting thing about this passage in Isaiah. The Hebrew word for “ascend” is the Hebrew word “ALAH.” The word means “to ascend”, “to go up” and “to exalt”. Is it possible that Isaiah is giving us the identity Satan would use to sit on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem by using the word ALAH in Hebrew?
Notice the Hebrew word “ALAH” traslated as “ascend.”
Soon after Mohammed supposedly received divine revelations from the Islamic god “Allah” brought to him by an “archangel” named Gabriel, Mohammed sought to conquer lands for Allah until he reached Jerusalem. Islamic tradition believes that Mohammed miraculously “ascended” (Alah in Hebrew) to heaven from the Temple Mount in Jerusalem and as a result, Muslims decided, under the Umayyad Caliphate, to build an Islamic mosque on the Temple Mount, the very site where Yahweh God chose to put his name and to have a house or temple built for him.
The Mahdi Connection
Shiite Muslims have been awaiting for the return of Imam al Mahdi, the Islamic Messiah. In fact his full name is Imam Muhammed Al Mahdi. He has the same name that means “praiseworthy” that is etymologically connected to the Hebrew words Heylel and Halal which are from the same root of the Arabic word Hilal which translates as crescent moon, the symbol of Islam.
The Mahdi went into occultation in the 9th century and is believed to return in the end times. A lot of Bible Prophecy teachers talk about the person of the Mahdi and what he will do as compared to the Antichrist but they never talk about his birthplace. He was born in Samarra, Iraq (ancient Babylon where Heylel will rise to persecute Israel) and is believed by Shiite Muslims to return and make Iraq the center of his government before capturing Jerusalem to make it the final capital of his “rightly guided Caliphate”. That is why Iraq is so important to radical Shiite government of Iran and its Shiite proxies and allies in the Middle East.
In their book Al Mahdi and the End of Time, authors Muhammad ibn Izzat and Muhammad Arif write:
“The Mahdi will be victorious and eradicate those pigs and dogs and the idols of this time so that there will once more be a caliphate based on prophethood as the hadith states… Jerusalem will be the location of the rightly guided caliphate and the center of Islamic rule, which will be headed by Imam al-Mahdi… That will abolish the leadership of the Jews… and put an end to the domination of the Satans who spit evil into people and cause corruption in the earth, making them slaves of false idols and ruling the world by laws other than the Sharia [Islamic Law] of the Lord of the worlds.”
Watch the following video by an Islamic channel depicting the Mahdi arriving to conquer Jerusalem on a white horse.
It’s my hope and prayer you are able to see what is at play here. We have much of this documented in our book titled The Coming Bible Prophecy Reformation published in 2014.
