Atlas

| The Rockefeller Center the statue of Atlas. The bronzed figure has his arms wide, holding up the vault of heaven. |
Atlas was given the task of holding the heavens on his shoulders as punishment from Zeus for leading the Titans in their battle with the Olympian Gods for control of the heavens.
The Olympian Gods which he battled against included his father Zeus.
Thus, allegorical representation of Lucifer as it was Lucifer leading the rebellion against God.
"Atlas is a form of Adam. Both names are derived from the root at or ad. As Adam was the first of the ten patriarchs, so Atlas is the first of the ten princes of Atlantis, and the monad is the first and chief of the numerations. Atlas, representing the monad or unity, is therefore given rulership over the whole world which he must support by the principle of unity."- Atlantis: An Interpretation Manly P. Hall pg. 26-27

| When the statute of Atlas unveiled at the Rockefeller Center 1937, some people protested, claiming that it looked like Italian dictator Benito Mussolini. Later, painter James Montgomery Flagg said that Atlas "looks too much as Mussolini thinks he looks". - Dianne L. Durante. Outdoor monuments of Manhattan: a historical guide. p. 141. |
Zeus to the Greeks, Jupiter to the Latins and Deus Pater to the Indo-Europeans (sounds similar to Zeus when one speaks it, AND I've seen Jupiter spelled Jupater, or something like that). These are the same as the Canaanite Ba'al Shamin, or Lord of Heaven and are symbolized by the tetragrammaton (YHWH, JHVH, etc.) Didn't Genesis say "cursed be Canaan"? Jesus is King of kings and Lord of lords!
