THE BOOK OF JOBS...



She was taken to the center of the high court, a crowd was gathered as she was to be born again.  She walked tall, and a delicate crown sat upon her head, much like the other maidens in the room.  She was a fierce competitor though, and the room grew silent as she was about to make her choice.  The decision to be made was about who she would be on earth.  It mattered now, as it is written, the first shall be the last, and the last shall be the first. Everyone was completely still, she knelt before the King.
“This is the last battle,” the King said. “It is important you choose your place wisely.”  “Where will you fight?” “Remember what you earn here for how you spend your time on earth, before you make your choice.”
She didn’t wait to answer for fear the courage would leave her. “I will be last,”she said as one tear glistened down her face.  This was a great honor in this realm, but she knew the pain it brought on earth.  She had been last before, and the weight bound on earth meant a lifetime of certain torture and misery, she was burned at the stake.  She pushed back the memory and stood before the King.
“Remember that the battle is here.  You will not know who you are there until you are unified.  No man will love you or claim you.  You will only find peace in walking alone. You will face trial and torment but for every pain on earth you are gaining victory here.  As the last on earth, you shall be the first here.  And It is your job to make sure everyone gets back safely. You will have to find the last man before the end of the battle.  Each one saves one.
She nodded.  The guards took her back to her chambers where she awaited her birth, she knew she would have no memories of this realm.  She had no idea what to expect on earth this time…it was always changing.  She would be born new, with only her dreams to guide her on earth.  She closed her eyes, took deep breaths, letting fear subside.  She knew as soon as she was dreaming her spirit would be on earth.  Let the battle begin.
She is surrounded by water, seemingly drowning.  She kicks and pushes.  She can still hear the King…”remember you’re a princess.  Don’t forget who your father is!’ She knows that when you are born you forget everything, but she yells back, “Yes, Father, I understand.”  I am ready for this.  I trust you.”  Break the water!  I am ready!
She kicks hard with vigor, enthusiasm.  This is the last time she will be strong, but she trusts and the water breaks. She hears the others waiting for their turn in the realm…they are coming behind her.  She won’t be alone, but she knows she will feel alone. She hears a scream, she hears her mother’s voice for the first time.  Her mother is afraid too.  The realm is cheering in the background, telling her to be strong…but they are fading.  She is starting to forget.  She pushes and struggles. She is crowning.  And she is born.  She screams.
Suddenly where there was once peace inside her, is unrest.  Fear, demonic strongholds, generational curses and sin are felt for the first time.  It is painful to take on that seed.  The Father Wounds are all carried on this baby girl.  The seed is in her genetics, and are not apparent in her physicality.  She is a beautiful baby with big blue eyes, healthy.  Her mother is young.  The mother holds her to her unknowing what is hidden in this child.  There will be a reprieve for her daughter, but only for a short while.  There is no memory of the realm.  A newborn, named Eve.

The realm cheered, this was the beginning of the battle.  They would all go down in order one by one.  Last to first.  High ranks in the realm took the lower earthly bounds with pride. It was a badge of courage to take on the difficult lives on earth.  They knew they were subjecting themselves to pain untold, but there they were the mightiest of warriors.  Every stripe on earth made them victors there.  None knew what to expect but they knew each one saves one and they all got to come back…together…and this was the last time!  These souls had been battling for ions and it was time to finally get to be with their mate for eternity. As they were born to earth, they lay dreaming in the realm.  When they would awake in the realm, it would be time to fight.  But this would be the last time.  When the battle was over they would all get to be born in the realm and grow up as children. They would finally be with their mates they had been searching for. To grow up a child in the realm means peace, harmony, beauty and all the blessings of the King.  These souls had not been children for so long, and it was the ultimate ending to a long, long war.  To come back as children means no more pain, no more fighting, but to run in open fields of wildflowers and an eternity of laughter.  It meant experiencing abounding true love for the rest of time.
Azraela awoke to the sound of the sirens of a million screaming birds.  The new war, the last war had begun.  She began to put on her armor. She tightened the belt of truth around her waist.  Over her head she pulled down the breastplate of righteousness.  She wore her own helmet of salvation and took up her shield of faith.  She had been fighting so long she trusted all these for battle.  She had just witnessed her soul being born on earth and she knew the enemy would do everything to posess her there.  There was a new system on earth.  An evil empire like never before…a power and control of the enemy beyond other centuries.  The New World Order. The evil one had infiltrated the economics systems, destroying families and leaving children by the millions without fathers.  This created a festering father wound in the likes that had never been seen by the people of the realm.  Money and greed had come upon the states and the ones in charge were working directly with the enemy.  It was a complete shift from what they had left in the last battle.  Azraela had been a Jewish nurse in her last life.  She had saved lives in a Nazi concentration camp.  This last assignment though looked much more daunting.  She would protect herself as the child Eve, the best she could.  She would visit Eve’s dreams to help her find her destiny as the last one.
A soft rain came down upon a Seattle rooftop. Azraela leaned over baby Eve’s cradle made from a dresser drawer.  Eve was silent and peaceful, with flushed cheeks and a strong heart.  Azraela reached down and touched Eve’s forehead so that Eve would feel her warmth.  Eve smiled.  Azraela saw her own fate and her future in the tiny baby, so sweet and innocent.  They were one.  She knew Eve would be left to the darkness of the world and that ultimately she would have to find her own way.  Someday though after victory, after trials and tribulation they, as one would find their way home.  And so it had been, life unto life, always one to guide and protect, and to the other free will and circumstance, such as life.  Azraela and Eve would be the last to unify, and it wouldn’t be for many years.  The air in the room grew colder, Azraela stepped back from the cradle…there was another presence in the room.  She drew her sword.
“Oh…Azraela, so it’s you, you have chosen to be the last one!”  Daemon smirked in the darkness, by the door. His beedy red eyes stared down at Eve. Daemon was of high power in the dark realm, and they had sent him as birthday gift to awaken the energy of the battle.  “We all know how this ends, Daemon,”  Azraela responded.  “Let it begin.”
Eve was raised under Azraela’s protection.  Every good thing Eve would ever need in life was placed inside her little heart.  When the enemies arrows would come to attack Eve, Azraela would fiercely deflect them away from her.  This was to build Eve’s inner strength, so that when her time came she would be able to fight her own battle.  Eve danced and laughed as every child should and her imagination was boundless.  She would make up stories all about the places she would someday go.  These places came to her in her dreams.  Eve could see the realm in her dreams, but she saw the peaceful side of it, where she someday would be.  There were castles there, surrounded by lush green meadows and there was always a little farm boy in her dreams.  They would chase each other through the fields, and jump into the river, filled with joy, always laughing.  So many times this raven haired little boy came to her dreams, she loved to meet up with him.  They rode horses and counted stars.  They had so many stories to tell each other, as if they had lived ten lifetimes.  The dreams would always end with them playing hide and seek.  Eve would search and search and the boy always had the best hiding places.  She could never find him, she would call his name over and over…”Jezreel!”  She would drift into another day in reality saying his name, “Jezreel.”  Eve was six. And these dreams would continue until the dark days.

“What the hell Adam?” Adam’s brother knocked over his bowl of cereal.  They were out of milk, so he had put water in it.  Adam’s older brother Charlie was always angry.  Their parents took off with a biker gang a few years before and left all the kids to fend for themselves.  And how they survived was by selling drugs. There were always so many people in and out of the house and no one paid any attention to him, so he would just drift off in his own mind, alot. He was staring at the tv, but not watching it.  He always stared when he was in deep thought. “Wake up, idiot! Why did you eat all the cereal?”  Charlie hit Adam in the head.  Adam was the youngest.  He was quiet and shy.  He didn’t like all the yelling that went on in their household.  He looked forward to going to school so he could get away.  He never yelled back or cried.  He obeyed his brothers and sisters the best he could, he never wanted to make them mad. Adam had a big imagination because he was always trying to escape from his surroundings.  He would pretend that he was in a huge battle and that he lead an army.  It was there he was the toughest, and no one could hurt him. Adam was seven.

His face hit the dirt.  Not again he thought.  He was the last, but he didn’t know it.  He lived in a big city…too much noise for his liking.  His brothers made him sell drugs.  He didn’t want to be like them, but there was really no other way…its just what he knew.  He was getting beat up at the moment.  He was skinny and not much for fighting and the bullys knew he always had pot on him.  And his brother would kick his ass for that too.  First day of high school, no less.  He could just hear his brother now…”Adam why do you always have to be such a loner!”  It was over, he picked himself up and dusted himself off.  “Just high school, let’s do this,”  he thought.
