Stairway To Heaven
Alice (11), Lucy (9) & Mark
Using forced perspective, our build shows Jacob's dream of angels ascending and descending a stairway to Heaven, as described in Genesis 28.
The Four Horsemen from Revelation
Owen (13), Eva (13), Miles (13) & Ari (12)
This Lego build from left to right we have Conquest, War, Famine and Death coming out of a gate. From Revelation 6 where John has a vision of the lamb opening the scroll.
The 7 headed beast described in Revelation slowly rises from the ocean, dripping with water, and churning the sea. Each head is looking towards the apostle John as he looks on from the island of Patmos with an angel standing nearby, watching in horror as it emerges. The beast is bright red and has a mortally wounded head, and a long tail. Each head has black, beady eyes, sharp teeth in a snarl, and either one or two horns with a crown on each. Half of the beast is still underwater as it is coming out of the water. The island of Patmos is rocky and grassy, and has a hidden cave at the back of it containing one of the island's previous prisoners. This build captures the essence of end times and the unknown trouble that will emerge for those who do not know the Lord.
Vision of the Beast rising from the Water
Righteous (16) & Isaac (13)
Angel Shares The Good News
Harrison (15) & Josh (12)
As the sun was rising, this is what Mary Magdalene and the other Mary saw. The tomb stone had been rolled away and there sat an Angel of the Lord. His body shone like lightning. His clothes were white as snow. “Don’t be afraid,” said the angel. “He is not here. He has risen!”
The Promise To Abraham
Joel, Oliver (12), Lucas (10) & Harvey (7)
The LORD appeared to Abraham in a vision and said ‘Look up at the sky and count the stars – if indeed you can count them.’ Then he said to him, ‘So shall your offspring be.’ (Genesis 15:5)
Dry Bones Live Again
Lincoln, Archer and Phil
Ezekiel’s vision of dry bones coming together, muscles and skin covering them, and the bodies came back to life. Ezekiel 37:1-14
A Heavenly Vision
Julia, Dean & Joel (11)
We have used forced perspective in our build. The river of life runs down the street of gold through the heavenly city. It disappears into the distance. The front of the build is framed by the tree of life, bearing its 12 crops of fruit, and a heavenly city building. Another tree of life can be found opposite, further down the river. The great white throne of God has deliberately been made larger than the micro build at its feet. This is to represent the sovereignty and greatness of God over all things.
The Woman and the Dragon
Tom (9), Lucas (7), Sam (11), Will (14) & Mike
A seven headed dragon stands in front of a woman who is about to give birth so that it might devour her child. But the dragon doesn’t know that the child will be snatched up to God and to his throne, beginning a war between the dragon and its angels and Michael and his angels, resulting in the dragon being hurled to the earth. Rev 12:4–9
Belshazzar's Feast
Hugh (14) & Gil (12)
This Lego Build is a depiction of Belshazzar's Feast, a Bible story found in chapter five of Daniel. The left side of the build shows a peaceful city with townsfolk going about their business as usual. The middle part shows the palace in which King Belshazzar and his friends are startled by a vision of a hand writing on the wall, while at a feast where they are using articles stolen from the temple in Jerusalem. The right side shows a quiet river where the first few men of the invading army are sneaking under the defences of the city through the waterways.
