But now at last the sacred influence Of light appears, and rom the walls of Heav'nShoots far into the bosom of dim NightA glimmering dawn; here Nature first begins her farthest verge, and Chaos to retire As from her outmost works a broken foe With tumult less and with less hostile din, John Milton
About This Quote

The Creation story of Genesis shows how the world was created. Here we see God’s hands creating the world and then Adam and Eve. The sun and moon were created at this same time, and the stars represent the angels that God created to be his faithful servants. Here we see a small section of all of God’s creations. The sky tells us that God is mighty and rules over all, but it also shows us that chaos (the bad guys) can be defeated.
