Since in the Bible the Devil is referred to as "The Prince of Darkness," obscurity would represent all which falls within his dominion or power.
Ironically, the original name for Satan was Lucifer, which means 'light' (Latin version, 'star.') According to the Biblical acccount in Isaiah 14:12-14, Lucifer was an archangel in Heaven who coveted God's place and incited a rebellion against Him in Heaven.
The antithesis of these names emphasises the degree and intensity of the original "Fall."
