A curious title that you will find for Osiris is the, “Morning Star.” This same Morning Star of Osiris found in the Book of the Dead appears to be the same Morning Star that we can find in the Book of Revelation where Saint John says, “I will give him the Morning Star (Rev. ii. 29).” The identification of Osiris in Pyramid texts with the Morning Star is of great antiquity. In the tomb of Pepi we read: “Isis and Nephtys adore thee that thou mayest not depart from them in thy name of Morning Star;” and in another passage (172) we read: “The sister of Pepi is Septet (Sothis), and the birth of Pepi is as the Morning Star.” And again we have these words, “He goeth forth into Heaven among the stars which never die ; his sister is Septet and his guide, the Morning Star, leadeth him to the Field of Peace.” In chapter 129 of the Book of the Dead is said; “Hail, O Osiris, thy ka hath come unto thee, and is with thee, and thou restest there in thy name of ka hetep Peaceful Soul). It maketh thee glorious in thy name of khu (Bright) and it maketh thee like unto the Morning Star in thy name of Pehu (the thigh).(2) gnosticwarrior/osiris-the-morning-star.html
