00:00Rome is how the empire that refused to die.
00:06Most empires fade like smoke.
00:09Rome did not.
00:10Rome transformed.
00:13When its armies weakened, its bishop strengthened.
00:15When its political power cracked, its spiritual authority expanded.
00:20When barbarians stormed its walls, the empire simply moved.
00:24Into churches, councils, rites, and relics, the body of Rome died.
00:29But its spirit survived, and the spirit found a new host, the holy empire.
00:36Born from Constantine's marriage of altar and throne, it claimed to be the kingdom of God on earth.
00:42But in its marrow lived the appetite of the old Caesars and the whisper of the old gods.
00:47Rome no longer needed iron eagles.
00:50It now wore crosses, and the beast exhaled again.
00:54The marriage of sword and sanctuary.
01:00The new Rome.
01:01An empire baptized but unremoved.
01:03Rose beneath the shadow of Constantine's throne.
01:06What began as alliance became identity.
01:09Kings ruled by God's authority.
01:12Popes crowned emperors.
01:13Emperors protected popes.
01:15Bishop-shaped nations, soldiers marched beneath sacred banners.
01:19War was sanctified.
01:20Unity was enforced by steel and creed.
01:23For the first time in history, faith became a political weapon sharper than any legionary spear.
01:29This was not the meek faith of fishermen, shepherds, and desert prophets.
01:33This was imperial faith.
01:35A fusion of theology enthroned.
01:38A halo worn by a beast.
01:41Prophets silenced.
01:42Heretics made Rome.
01:44Now baptized, still feared dissent.
01:46But instead of crucifixion, it used excommunication.
01:50Instead of gladiators, it used councils.
01:52Instead of lions, it used law.
01:54Those who questioned imperial doctrine, even when that doctrine served politics more than heaven,
01:59were branded heretics.
02:01And in Rome's holy empire, heresy became treason.
02:04Great thinkers were hunted.
02:05Voices crying for purity were stifled.
02:08Movements seeking the simplicity of the messiah were crushed beneath imperial orthodoxy.
02:13The empire learned how to eliminate opponents while calling it defending the faith.
02:18The beast roared in sacred language.
02:20Ivy, the mask of holiness, the holy empire built.
02:24Cathedrals that pierced the sky.
02:26Altars shimmering with gold.
02:27Libraries of sacred texts.
02:29Councils that shaped continents.
02:31But beneath its splendor lurked a darker truth.
02:34Its piety masked.
02:35Ambition disguised as destiny.
02:37Conquest disguised as conversion.
02:40Taxation disguised as tithing.
02:42Manipulation disguised as unity.
02:44Idolatry disguised as ceremony.
02:46Control disguised as holiness.
02:48The mask was beautiful.
02:50The spirit beneath was ancient.
02:52The same spirit that guided, seizes and demanded nations bow.
02:55The beast had returned.
02:58Me, the Anunnaki influence awakens again.
03:02In the shadows of the holy empire.
03:04Old forces stirred.
03:05The Anunnaki exiled giants of pride and intellect.
03:09Saw the empire as perfect soil to twist mankind's spiritual course.
03:13They no longer needed temples or idols.
03:15They needed only influence and institutional faith.
03:18The holy empire granted both.
03:20They whispered through councils.
03:22They guided kings through dreams and omens.
03:24They disguised manipulation as visions and miracles.
03:27They bent doctrine toward hierarchy and human authority.
03:31Drawing worship away from the creator himself.
03:33A faith meant to liberate became a chain.
03:36A kingdom meant to uplift became a cage.
03:38A people meant for light became entangled in shadow.
03:42The beast was awake.
03:43And it wore a bishop's robe.
04:01The true church goes underground.
04:04But the messiah's light did not die.
04:10Across deserts, mountains, and hidden valleys.
04:13A remnant kept the original fire alive.
04:17They refused to bow to emperor's councils or holy tyranny.
04:22They clung to.
04:23Simplicity, humility, prayer, care for the poor, resistance to oppression.
04:33Freedom from imperial chains.
04:37They were hunted, but never extinguished for the true bride has never lived in palaces.
04:44She has always been a remnant.
04:46The prophecy of the two Romes among the scattered faithful, a prophecy rose like smoke.
04:54Rome will fall twice, but the beast will rise a third time.
05:00The first fall was the sack of the ancient empire.
05:05The second was the corruption of the holy empire.
05:08The third rise would come when religion, politics, and global power merged once more.
05:17The beast is not a creature.
05:19It is a system, a mindset, a legacy.
05:23And its final awakening was yet to come.
05:27Be it a warning for the children of light.
05:31The rise of the holy empire teaches a truth no generation can ignore.
05:39When faith marries power, power devours faith.
05:43The beast does not fear persecution.
05:46It thrives in it.
05:47The beast does not fear martyrdom.
05:49It multiplies believers.
05:52What the beast fears is a church that refuses to kneel to earthly thrones.
05:56A people who remember the Messiah's kingdom is not of this world.
06:02A remnant who knows no empire, holy or pagan, can speak for God.
06:08And so the children of light must watch, must discern, must remain steadfast.
06:14For the beast awakened once, it will awaken again.
06:18But light, true light, never bows.
06:26Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
