Behind the Babylonian system was Lucifer – the enemy of God. He was described as the morning star, son of the dawn who was fallen from heaven. He wanted to ascend to heaven, to raise his throne above the stars of God, to sit enthroned on the mount of assembly and utmost heights of the sacred mountain, to ascend above the tops of the cloud and to make himself like the Most High. But he was brought down to the grave, to the depths of the pit (vs. 12-15)
