Trey Knowles: Conquest

Trey Knowles - Conquest

In this witty and thought-provoking allegory comedy, Trey Knowles exposes a lamb-like beast—a deceptive force known as The Conquest. Driven by greed and pride, the Conquest seeks to take over the planet through theft and manipulation, even enlisting the help of Gargamel to achieve his dark ambitions. Never content with what he already has, the Conquest desires to overthrow the rightful foundation of creation and establish himself as the supreme ruler of the earth.

But every person on earth has been given a portion. We are called to care for one another and to share in love. The Conquest, however, rejects this truth. To him, “sharing” means seizing for himself—by force or deceit. His nature is to conquer, not to nurture.

Pretending to be good and righteous, the Conquest hides behind false ideologies and deceptive images, including distorted portrayals inspired by Cesare Borgia. Through identity theft, perverse deception, and even sorcery and manipulation, he seeks to remake the world in his own corrupted image.

Yet, a day is coming when our Lord and Savior will put an end to every Conquest that does not produce righteousness. Until then, we are called to walk in love, remaining wise as serpents and innocent as doves. There is no need to fear—the Conquest’s reign is temporary.

This allegory mirrors The Parable of the Tenants (Matthew 21:33–46), where a landowner’s servants—and even his own son—are rejected and slain by tenants who sought to steal what was not theirs. Like those tenants, the Conquest tries to claim ownership of what belongs to God alone.

In the parable, Jesus reveals that the landowner will return to bring justice, destroying the wicked and giving the vineyard to those who will bear good fruit.

“The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone;
the Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes.”

In the end, the message is clear: The kingdom of God will not belong to those who conquer through lies and power, but to those who walk in truth, love, and righteousness.
