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
