And so, Jacob made a YouTube video
Wait, I thought the Internet was going to collapse because of WWIII?
The Great Monarch is coming.

He told me to make this video to start a chain of events that will fulfill the prophecy.
Actually, Aragoof said nothing about a video.
The Great Monarch will liberate America, Europe and the Holy Land
Or at least what little is left of it...
rebuild the Church of Hagia Sophia
You know that the Hagia Sophia is still standing, right? I mean, it could have been destroyed during the war, but the powerful position of Turkey in your timeline strongly implies it has been left largely intact.
The video became viral.
Yeah, because one video of the ramblings of a self-important loon is totally what will captivate the minds of the survivors in the post-apocalyptic world...
This will be important later in the story.
Aren't you a master of foreshadowing?
(No, you are not.)
since World War III caused a major loss in doctors and medical technology
Well, someone
finally remembers that it's WWIII...
In 2034, General Zekai Aksakallı, a secret convert to Catholicism who was ordained into the clergy had his forces launch attacks destroying all of Turkey’s nuclear weapons which finally allowed the conquered Americans and Europeans to rebel.
And you assume it was your silly video that converted him?
Also, that's quite a sudden time skip there.
Henry began the rebellion in America. He restored the United States and then his army crossed over into Europe. It was World War IV.
So Henry Sue started a World War. Our heroes, ladies and gentlemen!
Jacob Harrison was also canonized as a Saint.
You know that Superbia is one of Catholicism's Deadly Sins, right?
Then from Good Friday to Easter 2038, there was the prophesied 3 Days of Darkness where the world became dark and God punished mankind. Around 1/4 of mankind heeded the supernatural warning that came on February 7, 2038. They lit blessed candles and took shelter inside their homes which they sprinkled with Holy Water as protection from demons.
The rest of mankind perished due to the pestilence in the air and the demons that roamed the Earth with an exception of a few who were soon converted.
Feel God's Love™ and Omnibenevolence™!
Jacob Harrison Jr. married in 2039 and had a daughter called Anne born on October 1 2039 and then a son called Jacob Harrison III born on July 13 2040.
Such creative names. I don't get why some people think it is a good idea to give their children their own name. Hell, I would not even give the name of any friend or family member to my children.
...well, back to the story.
To be continued...
