The Talmud declares that there are 7, 405, 926 demons, divided in 72 companies.
While many people believe today that Lucifer and Satan are different names for the same being, not all scholars subscribe to this view.
Use of the name " Lucifer " for the devil stems from a particular interpretation of, a passage that does not speak of any fallen angel but of the defeat of a particular Babylonian King, to whom it gives a title that refers to what in English is called the Day Star or Morning Star ( in Latin, lucifer, meaning " light-bearer ", from the words lucem ferre ).
In and elsewhere, the same Latin word lucifer is used to refer to the Morning Star, with no relation to the devil.
It is only in post-New Testament times that the Latin word Lucifer was used as a name for the devil, both in religious writing and in fiction, especially when referring to him prior to his fall from Heaven.
