Come

Jeremiah

Btw, this story part has nothing to do with music, but is really important to the plot. I'll do something like this every five chapters or so.

Carry on!

How did this happen?

It started with a simple love for God that led me on the journey of many lives.

Who am I you ask? Well, my name is Jeremiah. I am the prophet of the book of Jeremiah, and I wrote it many years ago as the Lord's prophet.

Yes, you can call me an old man. But I pray, listen to my story. I did not expect God to lead me this way; maybe he'll lead you on an unexpected journey too.

Plus, I'm involved with Elsa and Vlad Alizae.

Did I get your attention? Then read on.

It all started many years ago, when I was just a wee lad of my late teens or early twenties.

And the Lord came to me. He told me that he knew me before I was born, and that even then I was going to be one of his chosen prophets.

I thought that I was too young. You would think so too, since God would probably choose someone as old as Moses. But he told me that he was with me.

I believed him then, and I still do today. Even then, I loved God and worshipped him.

That's when he gave me his first prophecy: he showed me some things such as an olive branch, and showed me how they related to his prophecy. And I believed him. After all, following him through faith isn't blind following; he understands that we have to see to believe, and he shows us his miracles every day.

And throughout the years I served him, I saw both good and bad; there are always bad times no matter what, but they're worth it for our Lord.

But I saw his feelings, his sadness, over Israel forsaking him, how no one would flee Jerusalem even though it would be attacked on soon, and how he had to punish them, though it broke his heart, because they sinned.

This continued until one day, when I asked why he let the faithless prosper. And that's when he told me that he would uproot them, but then give them prosperity through their faith in him.

I never understood that, but who does understand God?

I prospered. I had a wife and children, but only for the Lord.

And Babylon had fallen because they didn't heed the warning I spoke from the Lord.

There are other things I assure you, but I know you're not interested in boring history stuff. You might be wondering: what do I have to do with Elsa and Vlad?

All in good time, my friends. All in good time.

Let's just say... they won't exist if I weren't around.

But listen to this: as I was about to die of old age and had lived a satisfactory life by living for the Lord, He said, I'm not done with you yet.

And I woke up as someone else.
