Bible Verses About Bright and Morning Star: 12

"I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star."

— Revelation 22:16 (NIV)

People who search bible verses about Bright and Morning Star want Scripture on Jesus' self-title the bright Morning Star — Greek astēr (G792) with lampros (G2986) and prōinos (G4407) in Revelation 22:16 — not only the broader morning star survey (2 Peter 1:19 phōsphoros and related star language). This page is a numbered list of twelve passages with the NIV text and a short note on each. Related lists: Bible verses about morning star, Bible verses about light, Bible verses about light of the world, Bible verses about Jesus, Bible verses about hope, Bible verses about faith, Bible verses about prophecy, Bible verses about root of David, and Bible verse of the day. Bright and Morning Star here means Revelation 22:16's self-title — distinct from morning-star alone. We do not ship /day-star twins this run.

Word study (lead theme). In Greek, ἀστήρ astēr (Strong's G792; Bible Hub G792) — star; with λαμπρός lampros (G2986; Bible Hub G2986) — bright, radiant; and πρωϊνός prōinos (G4407; Bible Hub G4407) — of the morning. Revelation 22:16 joins them as "the bright Morning Star." This list tracks that Bright and Morning Star vocabulary, not the whole morning-star / day-star inventory alone.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on Revelation 22 presses that Christ is the root and offspring of David, and the bright and morning star — the light that rises for his people (Bible Hub MHC Revelation 22; Blue Letter Bible, Matthew Henry on Revelation 22). (Morning star lives on that page; this list centers the Rev 22:16 self-title.)
