The image is a personification of Hell, which is a concept which has come out of men and women's minds who are separated from God in their understanding. Without God, we are nothing more than intelligent animals..we are beastly and we create beastly things, including beastly concepts of our Creator.
The concept of Hell creates a mindset which swallows up light/understanding even as black holes in the universe swallow up entire stars. Light in the Bible speaks of understanding. The concept of Hell in societies which believe in these myths actually prevents understanding of spiritual things. The picture personifies Hell as a man/beast which swallows up understanding/light. In the Bible, stars often are symbols of people. Truly the teaching of Hell, created by man, NOT by God Himself, has indeed swallowed up billions of people's lives. These people could have lived in joy and peace, but didn't because there was not enough light or understanding in their lives. But Christ will have victory of he darkness created by ignorant men. Our Sovereign Creator and Father has allowed this time of darkness. It will ultimately serve a good purpose for all of us. But it's time to set some of the prisoners free . . .
"O Death, where is your sting?
O Hades/Hell, where is your victory
The sting of death is sin, and the
strength of sin is the law.
But Thanks be to God, who gives us
the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."
1 Cor. 15:55,56The light of the gospel of Jesus Christ will bring light to all of mankind.
This internet site is part of that light.

DO YOU REMEMBER THE GARDEN ? Do you remember the garden, where we spent our
first days? His Love so abounding, supplying all needs, How subtle the darkness that crept in that day. We followed it blindly as it twisted and turned, We walked down sin's pathway, not counting the
cost, Oh bitter awakening, Oh sorrowful day, We looked for our Father, ever always so near, Could no one redeem us from sin's deep dark pit? Yes, there is One, our Savior, ever faithful, always
true, He's conquered ALL darkness, without and within,
