Day-Star:
(helel ben-shachar, Isa 14:12; phosphoros, 2Pe 1:19): The Old Testament passage is rendered in the King James Version "Lucifer, son of the morning," in the King James Version margin and the Revised Version (British and American) "day-star," i.e. the morning star. The reference is to the king of Babylon (Isa 14:4). In 2Pe 1:19, "Until.... the daystar arise in your hearts," the word is literally, "light-bringer." It is applicable, therefore, not only to the planet Venus, seen as a morning star, herald of the dawn, but to the sun itself, and is used here as a title of our Lord.

Day-Star:
Eng., "phosphorus," lit., "light-bearing" (phos, "light," phero, "to bear"), is used of the morning star, as the light-bringer, 2Pe 1:19, where it indicates the arising of the light of Christ as the Personal fulfillment, in the hearts of believers, of the prophetic Scriptures concerning His Coming to receive them to Himself.
