The Story

You can read the whole story in the Bible in the book Jeremia.

The story is from the Bible: 

Jeremia is a prophet of the living God. Jeremia lives in Jerusalem around 600 before Christ.
At that time Jerusalem is besieged from the Babylonians who are a military strong people. Jeremia warns the king of Jerusalem to resist against the Babylonians. He urges him to give the town to the Babylonians. Then it wouldn´t be destroyed.
But the israelite king is under the influence of people who don´t believe in God and who want to defend the town. These people can persuade the king to let Jeremia disappear.

Here the game is inserted: 

The player is an agent of the babylonian king. The king heard about Jeremia and his request to the israelite king to give up Jerusalem. He assumes because of that Jeremia is on the side of the Babylonians. But since a longer period he never has got a message about Jeremia. He worries about his "Ally" and gives the player the order to search for Jeremia and to help him.
During the game the player goes through many adventures, has to solve puzzles, do tasks, search for informants, etc. ...

What meaning does that have for us today? 

If you play the game till the end or read the story in the bible you find that Jeremia survived the whole trouble. He lived with God and trusted in him.
That´s the same today: The person who lives with God has a really strong ally. The possibility to live with God in such a relationship is provided by God himself. He loves us so much that he has given his son Jesus Christ and sent him on the earth. Jesus died for our sin on the cross. Everyone who believes in him has the eternal life i.e. he is already now Gods child and will be with God after his death.

Hard- and Software Requirements

The game is a DOS program.
Unfortunately it runs on a 386 very slowly, but if you switch off the sound it should be able anyway.
If you have to wait too long on the person you can click with both mousekeys at the same time on the object where the person should go. Then it jumps there.

You need a mouse, a VGA-graphic card and 2880 KB free XMS memory, and approximately 530 KB free conventional memory.
If you wish to hear the sound tracks you need 3392 KB free XMS memory and a sound card which is installed under DOS.

Hint: To get more free XMS memory write in your config.sys file at the beginning of the line
          device=emm386.exe
       a REM, so that the line looks so:
          REM device=emm386.exe 

It´s the best to use the Microsoft mouse driver 8.20 or higher or another current mouse driver. With other drivers there can be difficulties.

To see at a specific place in the game pictures in the VESA-mode some graphic cards need a special driver under DOS. Such a driver comes either with your card or you can download it at http://www.scitechsoft.com/sdd.html.
