All scripture is interpretation and translation. I am the first one to freely admit that what I posted is the same interpretation from translation.
Were you asking me for the Bible quote of the Pike quote?
Isaiah 14:12-14King James Version (KJV)
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!
That is not a reference to Satan. It is well known that any connection between that and Satan is nothing but a folk superstition with absolutely no evidence behind it. I notice how you intentionally refused to quote the full context. If you do not blasphemously play paper dolls with Scripture, it is quite plain that it is about the King of Babylon during Isaiah's own lifetime and not a supernatural being at all.
As for the Pike quote, it's irrelevant to me, since I consider Pike to be but one voice among many who are all Masonic scholars.
