"The girl is letting her light shine as a beacon and standard for the nations. She is leading people away from the wrath and sins of the world, to the temple. The colors on the left side create a chaotic, confused, and dark mood, and the colors on the right side create a peaceful, happy, and beautiful mood. So one side is the bad things in the world and the other side is the truth and light and happiness in life. The temple symbolizes defense, refuge, and eternal life; the mountain is the mountain of the Lord; the people are those who need our light to lead them to happiness; the cliff represents temptation; the darkness, burning city, and storm are the wrath and trials of the world."
