Billy The Conqueror Historians will tell you tales about William the Conqueror in times of old and how he made for himself a terrifying yet interesting name, but the King of all Creation has so named Billy the Conqueror because of his Heavenly fame. We need but to go back in time when this “white haired” kid terrorized the devil in the times of his troubled youth, and how satan, himself tried to destroy this lad by many methods but not one of them could bring about its due. This modern day conqueror is a picture also of King David the victorious warrior of old, though he might not be killing human giants, bears or lions but by the word of his mouth he is still just as bold. Yet at one point in his life, he chose another route and he had strayed from his precious Heavenly call, but the Hound of Heaven wrestled him much like Jacob and changed his name from rebel to conqueror but still that is not all For his latest assignment, you will find Billy arrayed in his battle fatigues for he has begun a brand new campaign, calling, forewarning and arming choice soldiers for their posts to be stationed around all parts of our country again! This “final” campaign we believe is all that is left for Conqueror’s like Billy to fight, for when this mighty harvest is through the Bridegroom will descend with a shout and the Bride and all His conquerors will take off for their Heavenly flight.
