couple things you may want to look into, firstly, the "precept upon precept" verse is not a verse of praise or command on how to study the Scriptures, it's a form of derision. The stubborn Israelites were basically viewing the prophets God sent as kindergarden teachers, telling them "do this, that, the other thing, don't do that". God was rebuking them in Is. 28, not commending them for their godly reverence of His Word.
second, "Lucifer" is a nickname of mockery God was giving to the arrogant king of Babylon in Is. 14. It is thanks to the somewhat curious retention of the Latin word for "shining one" that we have such a lore surrounding the word Lucifer. The passage is quite simple: The king of Babylon thought he was a god, thought he could do anything. God said nuh uh! kek
Wonderful mention of the context! You are absolutely right! If the use of the Text was misinterpreted, then apologies. There was no intent to infer praise or command or derision or anything else. It was only to give an introduction into how to study the Bible, especially when there is a lack of understanding, because remember, rebuke is given as loving instruction for the purpose of edification.
And also on Lucifer:
You are absolutely right about the description of the king of Babylon, but his description was given as being in the image of Satan. Just as in Ezekiel and describing the prince of Tyre and the king of Tyre (Ezekiel 28), one literal and one spiritual describing the Satanic mindset that ruled over Tyre just as it did over Babylon, here too Isaiah, who was a contemporary of Ezekiel, is describing the spiritual mindset of the king of Babylon as that belonging to Satan. It is sort of a double application, physical and spiritual, in one Verse. Good catch!
Because the falling away from heaven, or the being cast away from heaven, is too a literal description of Satan.
And in both the Hebrew and the Greek the same word is used for "morning". So the "son of the morning" is too a description of Satan when he was under the epithet of Lucifer, as the Morning Star is Jesus.
For the angels are too described as "morning stars":
Wonderful catches! Thank you for adding clarification and allowing the study to grow! How beautiful!
