This image has several ideas behind it. The first is from Isaiah, the prophet who cries our “Oh that you would rend the heavens and come down!” (Isa 64v1). He looks with hope to God to come and redeem Israel, to transform the nation.
The image shows the clouds parting to reveal the shining star, symbolising that great light heralding good news and echoing Isaiah’s word’s “The people walking in darkness have seen a great light”
The green hill is reminiscent of the hill where the shepherds heard the good news from the lips of an Angel of the Saviour, a baby laying in a manger (Luke 2v8-15)
The hill reminds us of the hills on which Jesus preached, the path of the way he walked to the cross on which he died, echoed in the shape of the star.
The glory of God is revealed.
