So those who are last now will be first then, and those who are first will be last. Matthew 20:16
The design is based upon those who are first will be last and those who are last will be first. The order of the numbers indicate the 4 comes first but given the arrows and how they are replacing the 1 and 4 indicates that those who give up their lives will gain it. A heart of servitude and giving to others is important as a disciple of Jesus.
