Conquering the Great Kingdoms of the World with the Light of the Son
2007 was a year of spiritual invasion. It a year of the conquest of the world, when the Appointed Son of God laid the markers on the whole world, given to him by the Almighty Father to reign over in April 13, 2005.
It was the year when the spiritual world, embodied by the Kingdom Nation of the Father, broke out from underneath
the great kingdoms of this world as a full grown tree would suddenly sprout from beneath an unsuspecting city, laying asunder its foundations.

Such is the conquest of the United Kingdom, one of
the world’s superpowers, a land steeped in history. The
Appointed Son of God came to London in the fourth phase
of the King Is Coming Tour of the world, having previously
come from Asia. Before that was the staggering conquest
of all major cities and of Canada and states of the US.
London, home of the Queen of England and of the
British royal family, is one of the most influential cities
of the world, and Pastor Apollo’s arrival was an indication
that the kingdoms of the world had finally been eclipsed by
the kingdom of heaven.
He was met at the Heathrow International Airport, the
busiest airport in the world, by the Kingdom citizens of
London, who have excitedly been anticipating the spiritual
occupation of the UK. They were overjoyed that he
had chosen London as the take-off point for the Kingdom
Nation’s conquest of Europe.
The work of the Kingdom Nation in London has flourished
for several years now, steadily increasing in membership
as Kingdom citizens sent out DVD’s of Pastor
Apollo’s preaching to friends and colleagues. Soon theywere already meeting for thanksgiving and worship presentations.
Eventually they acquired a worker’s house, where
they now hold regular Kingdom activities.
The group has also regularly been holding thanksgiving
and worship presentations and meeting regularly for fellowship
and Kingdom activities.

the Son
The sun shone bright on the day that the Son preached
in London for the first time. In fact, it continued to light all
of London during the duration of his entire stay there.
Many people were puzzled at the warm weather, since it
was officially the start of winter. But the crusaders were not
surprised, for elsewhere in the world, the weather had been
known to change dramatically to herald the Son’s arrival, as
it did in Montana and Connecticut, where a fresh blanket of
pure white powder greeted him upon his arrival.|
|
People came to see the Son from all parts of this vast
city. From the east end, where most of the vast immigrant
population had settled, to the west endto central London
and surrounding cities., There were guests from Scotland
and nearby Ireland, which lay beside England as part of the
United Kingdom.
The Marriott in Cricklewood was full to capacity and
Kingdom citizens had to stand and make way for many of
the guests who still kept coming in even during Pastor Apollo’s
preaching.
They stood enraptured as the Appointed Son began unraveling
the story of salvation, rewriting the story of how sin
first began in man and how it can only be cured through the
surrender of the serpent seed. And the audience, a product
of the miscellany of religious beliefs because of London’s
multi-racial population, were enlightened.
Many who were disillusioned with established religion
and its failure to bring the answer to the ills of this world
believed and had hope for the very first time. By the time
Pastor Apollo called the altar call, everyone have surrendered
themselves before the Father, accepting the new wine
that the Son was giving them to drink.
The fellowship of the Words of the Father that they
heard continued long after the Thanksgiving and Worship
Presentation, up until the Dinner and Fellowship with the
Appointed Son that followed.
Crusaders tour
London
It was a chilly morning when the King Is Coming Tour
London crusade team and the Kingdom citizens set out to
tour the beautiful and historic city of London. Taking one
of London’s red iconic double-decker buses, Pastor Apollo
led the crusaders from Marble Arch, which as its name indicates,
is a 118-year old marble arch-shaped structure, reliving
London’s formidable history, as the bus slowly wound
its way through London’s trademark narrow streets.
Among the famous places they visited were Madame
Tussaud’s, the great wax museum with the likenesses of
the world’s most famous people, the BBC’s Broadcasting
House, corporate headquarters of the BBC, the Imperial
War Museum, the London Aquarium, and the British Airways London Eye, London’s 4th highest structure. It has 32 capsules and rotates constantly,
offering spectacular views of London and the River
Thames.
The bus crossed Oxford Street, London’s busiest shopping
street with its many well-known Department stores, and Regent Street, with its the elegant buildings of a bygone era, at the end of which is Piccadilly
Circus, famous for its brightly colored illuminated signs and the statue of Eros.
|
EDINBURGH CASTLE is the grandest and most
important castle
of Scotland where the Scottish
crown jewels are kept. The coronation
seats
of Scottish kings are also found here. |
|
The group also had a glimpse of Fleet Street, where London’s newspapers
and print industry hold office. They also had a great view of Trafalgar Square, built to commemorate a famous battle where the English fleet under Admiral
Lord Nelson defeated the French. The great column rising above it is Nelson’s
Column, guarded at the base by 2 bronze lions.
One of the highlights of the trip was the great street of Whitehall, location to England’s great government offices, marked at the center by the Cenotaph, which commemorates the heroes of England’s past wars. |
The great structures along Whitehall
include the Banqueting House, the 17th century palace where Charles I was executed, Whitehall Place and Horseguards,
headquarters to the British Household Cavalry, the Ministry of Defense
and Scotland Yard. Certainly, not to be forgotten is London’s most famous address, #10 Downing Street, which has been the Prime Minister’s official residence
since the 18th century.
At the end of Whitehall, on Parliament
Street, is Parliament Square, where London’s most famous landmarks
are found: the British Houses of Parliament and the great tower clock, Big Ben, which sits atop St. Stephen’s Tower.
|
Kingdom citizens had to stand at the back to make way for the guests. |
Next-door to this was Westminister
Abbey, the traditional place of coronation and burial site for English monarchs.
The group was awed by the magnificent
St. Paul’s Cathedral, where Princess Diana was wed to Prince Charles.. It is the masterpiece of architect, Sir Christopher
Wren, who rebuilt the City after the famous fire of 1666.

The bus crossed the Rive Thames several times passed through London Bridge of nursery rhyme fame and Tower Bridge. The latter’s design was made to blend in with the Tower of London, famous
for its many illustrious prisoners – kings, queens, boy princes, other members
of royalty were imprisoned, beheaded,
died and were buried here. It is also the home of England’s Crown Jewels.
Certainly, no tour would be complete
without a visit to Buckingham Palace,
the London Residence of the Queen. The Palace lies beside St. James Park, one of London’s most beautiful Parks, magnificently attired in the full palette of autumn color. Buckingham Palace lies at the end of a long Road called the Mall, lined today with flags of the UK. At its entrance stands the golden Queen Victoria Memorial.
The walled Palace is guarded by sentries that are regularly changed with a ceremony called the Changing of Guard. During the summer, some parts of the Palace are opened to the Public.

The crusade team also had a chance to visit Kensington Palace. Kensington Palace in London is a working Royal residence.
Of great historical importance, Kensington Palace was the favorite residence of successive sovereigns until
1760. It was also the birthplace and childhood home of Queen Victoria. Today
Kensington Palace accommodates the offices and private apartments of a number of members of the Royal Family.
Around Kensington Palace are the stately Kensington Gardens, and the round pond. Here the crew had a chance to do some music videos.yes te? |
The capture of Scotland
With the United Kingdom’s capital
city London claimed as a Kingdom sentinel,
the marking of Scotland for conquest
was just a matter of course.
Scotland, one of the United Kingdom’s
4-country territory, which includes
England, Northern Ireland and Wales, lies
at the northern part of England. Its peaceful
rolling hills span eons of history, made
apparent by its majestic castles, soaring
abbey ruins and ancient tombs.
|
From London, a ten-hour trip by
bus was arranged for the group to see
the countryside. In the early winter, the
trees and fields still bearing its autumn
dress, the countryside was stunning.
First stop, Glasgow, famed for its
shipyards. The group spent the night
there and and set off the next morning
for Stirling, setting for one of the most
significant events in the history of Scotland.Perched high upon the town, was
Stirling Castle, once a residence of the
nation’s kings and queens and a meeting
place for the royal court. King James VI
of England was born here. Mary Queen
of Scots, was crowned here. Imprisoned
by her cousin Queen Elizabeth, she was
said to be beheaded here.
Below the castle’s ramparts, stretched
out the plains where the English and
Scottish armies, led by Scotland’s great
King Robert the Bruce, together with
Scottish hero William Wallace, clashed
in battles that determined Scotland’s
fate. Thus no place in Scotland was more
appropriate for the Son’s first visit.

From Stirling, the group proceeded
to Edinburgh, capital city of Scotland, and
considered to be one of the most beautiful
cities in the world. Looking out over
this remarkable city is Edinburgh Castle,
the official residence of Scotland’s last
great king Robert the Bruce, and one of
Europe’s most magnificent castles.

as one of the world’s

Even as the sun set over the horizon
of this most beautiful of cities, a greater light had risen over outer rim of its landscape,
the Appointed Son of God.
Inextinguishable, he now illuminates
the Scotland and the rest of the
United Kingdom with the message that
finally, fallen man has been set free from
the bondage of sin and death. |
