CONSTANTINE THE DECEIVER: CHAPTER 35 - CHILDREN OF LIGHT, CHILDREN OF SHADOW - TREY KNOWLES’S ALLEGORY CHRONICLES:

Constantine the Deceiver opens the veil on one of history’s most controversial transformations—the moment when the cross moved from the hands of the persecuted to the banners of empire. In this chapter, Trey Knowles exposes the tension between true spiritual surrender and political conversion, revealing how power can mimic faith while hollowing out its heart. Through allegory and historical reflection, readers are invited to question whether Constantine crowned Christianity with freedom—or chained it to the throne, reshaping devotion into dominion and belief into empire.

00:00Constantine the Deceiver
00:04Trey Null's Allegory Chronicles
00:09I, the Emperor, who wore two faces
00:13Before Constantine ever lifted a cross
00:15He lifted a sword
00:17Before he ever spoke the Messiah's name
00:20He spoke the language of empire
00:22The language of conquest, strategy, ambition
00:26He had watched Rome spill the blood
00:29Of the faithful under Nero, under Decius, under Diocletian
00:33He had seen bishops dragged through streets
00:36Churches burned, scriptures turned to ash
00:39He learned the truth emperors refused to admit
00:41The faith could not be killed
00:44So he chose the next best option
00:46He claimed it
00:48Not to become its servant
00:49But to make it serve him
00:51He wrapped the empire in the Messiah's robes
00:55But beneath the cloth beat the iron heart of Rome
00:58And so began
01:00The age of Constantine, the Deceiver
01:04The cross in the sky
01:12The lion his heart
01:13On the eve of the battle of the Milvian Bridge
01:16When civil war split the empire
01:18Constantine sought any advantage
01:21Divine or otherwise
01:22Some said he saw a cross above the sun
01:25Some said he dreamed of the Shiro
01:27Others whispered that a darker force
01:29Projected a sign that looks heavenly
01:31But carried another intention
01:34Whatever he saw
01:35Constantine turned it into a weapon
01:37He told soldiers
01:38By this sign
01:40Conquer
01:40Not
01:42By this sign
01:43Repent
01:44By this sign
01:45Be transformed for the first time in human history
01:47The cross marched at the head of an army
01:50Not as a symbol of sacrifice
01:52But as a standard of conquest
01:53And behind it walked a man
01:55Who did not yet understand its meaning
01:57I baptized in politics
02:02Not in spirit
02:03After his victory
02:04Constantine entered Rome as conqueror
02:07Draped in praise
02:08Armored in power
02:09He ended public persecution
02:11He returned stolen property
02:13He called councils
02:15Funded bishops
02:17And opened prison doors
02:18But he also kept the pagan title
02:20Pontifex Maximus
02:21Honored Saul Invictus
02:23On his coins
02:24Consulted omens
02:25And imperial mystics
02:26Dedicated monuments to Apollo
02:28Delayed baptism until his deathbed
02:31Continued practices forbidden by the faith he claimed
02:34He legalized Christianity
02:36And politicized it the same day
02:38He praised the Messiah
02:40But lived as emperors
02:41Before him lived with execution
02:43Intrigue, vanity
02:44And the hunger to rule
02:46He converted the empire
02:47Before converting himself
02:50I vee the council of nigger seal
02:54Unity or control
02:56When Constantine summoned the bishops to Nicosia
02:58The faithful celebrated
03:00The first worldwide council in history
03:02Creeds were forged
03:04Doctrines defended
03:05Truth sharpened
03:06But Constantine's interest was not theology
03:09It was unity under his rule
03:11He wanted
03:11One empire
03:12One doctrine
03:13One church
03:14One emperor above all
03:16He placed bishops not at the foot of the cross
03:18But at the foot of the throne
03:19And he learned quickly
03:21If he spoke softly
03:22The faithful called him protected
03:24If he spoke firmly
03:25They called him chosen
03:27He enjoyed both titles
03:29Be baptized in death
03:32Cloaked in myth
03:33As death pressed near
03:34Constantine finally sought baptism
03:37But not from a nice-kneed bishop
03:39He chose an Arian bishop
03:40Aligned with teachings
03:41Many believers rejected
03:43For years he had held the cross
03:45As a symbol of power
03:46Not a symbol of surrender
03:48Only in his last breaths
03:49Did he ask for cleansing
03:51Some say he feared judgment
03:52Others say guilt haunted him
03:54For the murder of Crispus and Fausta
03:56For political purges
03:57For rivals erased without trial
03:59Still others say
04:00It was one last political gesture
04:02A way to secure a legacy
04:04As the first Christian emperor
04:06History named him Great
04:08But the truth was sharper
04:09He did not save the faith
04:11He reshaped it
04:12He merged it with empire
04:13He blurred the border
04:15Between the kingdom of God
04:16And the kingdom of men
04:17Like the mass that endured
04:19After his death
04:20Rome crowned him
04:21Equal to the apostles
04:22Defender of the faith
04:24Founder of Christian Rome
04:25But the children of light
04:26Remembered the warning
04:27Not everyone who says Lord
04:29Lord belongs to the kingdom
04:31Constantine left the world changed
04:35But not purified
04:36He made the cross a banner of war
04:38He made bishops officers of the state
04:40He made Christianity legal and imperial
04:43He made millions believe
04:44That empire and Messiah
04:46Were the same thing
04:47The deception still echoes
04:49For Constantine proved
04:50What the Anunnaki had known
04:52From the beginning
04:52If you cannot destroy the Messiah's followers
04:56Then pretend to be one
04:58And rule in his name
05:01NEW
05:14The mercies chính
05:15And in the end
05:15The mercies
05:16Who wants to destroy the Messiah's followers
05:17This alien
