When Isaiah 14 is a taunt against the king of Babylon(a man),and lucifer a latin word is only mentioned once yet it means ''the morning-star'' and the morning star is Jesus???
Lets look at the different translations of Lucifer in Isaiah 14,and hopefully we can move past this Lucifer and see the meaning of Isaiah 14.

*12How have you fallen from heaven, O [a]light-bringer and daystar, son of the morning! How you have been cut down to the ground, you who weakened and laid low the nations [O blasphemous, satanic king of Babylon!]
- Amplified Bible
Footnote:Isaiah 14:12 The Hebrew for this expression--"light-bringer" or "shining one"--is translated "Lucifer" in The Latin Vulgate, and is thus translated in the King James Version. But because of the association of that name with Satan, it is not now used in this and other translations. Some students feel that the application of the name Lucifer to Satan, in spite of the long and confident teaching to that effect, is erroneous. The application of the name to Satan has existed since the third century A.D., and is based on the supposition that Luke 10:18 is an explanation of Isa. 14:12, which many authorities believe is not true. "Lucifer," the light-bringer, is the Latin equivalent of the Greek word "Phosphoros," which is used as a title of Christ in II Pet. 1:19 and corresponds to the name "radiant and brilliant Morning Star" in Rev. 22:16, a name Jesus called Himself. This passage here in Isa. 14:13 clearly applies to the king of Babylon.

THE CONNECTION--ISAIAH 14:12 TO LUKE 10:18
The footnote in the Amplifed Bible,on Isaiah 14:12 mentions Luke 10:18 .
Luke 10:18 :And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
The connecton is between Luke 10:18 and Isaiah 14:12 to prove that Lucifer was Satan and vice versa.
Lucifer does mean ''the morning-star:'' but the morning star can only be Jesus.(2 Peter 1:19,Revelation 22:16)
So are we met with a contradiction?
Not so.
Verse 13 of Isaiah 14 states:For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
How can a fallen angel ''ascend into heaven'' if he was already in heaven with other Angels?
How could a fallen angel ''exalt my throne'' ? - Are we to say he already HAD a ''throne'' in heaven that he was able to move in to a higher position?
Verse 14 states:I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
This ''Lucifer'' was a man,the king of Babylon.
The king of Babylon,the mortal man was going to be like Christ by raising his throne and power above God.
Verse 15:Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
Lucifer,the king of Babylon will die like every mortal man dies.
Hell in vese 15 is:7585 sh'owl sheh-ole' or shol {sheh-ole'}; from 7592; Hades or the world of the dead (as if a subterranean retreat), including its accessories and inmates:--grave, hell, pit.
Before looking at Luke 10:18,let's look at the verse before that,verse 17.
Luke 10:17:And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.
NOW
Luke 10:19:Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
