The job interview in Turku in the spring 1990
In the spring of 1990, I felt a strong desire to move to Finland. I went to the Gothenburg Main Library and read job advertisements in Helsingin sanomat newspaper in Finland. When I read an announcement, it aroused my interest and I was surprised, because that job was just as tailored for me. It was at Dynoplast Oy's plastic factory in Lieto, a neighboring municipality for Turku.
I put my job application there and soon I was invited to an interview. I took an unpaid 2 days from VFK and Volvo and made a secret trip to Finland for a job interview. When I was interviewed by the CEO and the Chief Technical Officer, I felt in my hearth that the Chief Technical Officer, my new future boss, would not have wanted to choose me, but the CEO wanted, even if he didn't say it out loud. I also experienced the supernatural presence of the Holy Spirit in the interview.
When the CEO asked something difficult, my voice changed and Yehowah himself answered the question! I don't remember what it was, but right after that, Yehowah said to me, "Now he picked you and decided to hire you." Many others applied for the job because it was reported in the press, but it didn't bother me because I was sure the job was for me and I believed in that Lord's promise!
Resignation from both VFK Ab and the rental apartment
That is why I resigned with faith from the Consulting Office and my city rental apartment starting May 1, 1990. The notice period for the rental apartment was 3 months and my new job would start on Aug 1, 1990. Although I had not yet received any written promise for a new job at Dynoplast OY, I had the reassurance that Yehowah himself was involved in the project. Judit asked if I already knew a new job?
I replied that I had as many as two to choose from, but I said it in faith. (So either Polimoon OY, or something else, that I didn't tell her) After a week I got approval from Dynoplast Oy, Lieto. I had mentioned in the interview that if they mail the employment contract forms in duplicate to me, I will sign them immediately and mail another one to them. So did I too.
I am very grateful for my team manager, Ulf Sjöström in Volvo PV, who recommended me to the Volvo 850's project and for my boss, then-qualified and Heads of Department Arne Karlsson, who gave Dynoplast Oy good recommendations of me and I am very grateful to Judit Sonnenschein because she gave me the best possible work certificate, what someone could ever get!
Arne remained a good friend of mine and we were in correspondence for 27 years, until his death in February 2017. In December 2016 I sent him a gift of a good Christian Swedish book. He must have read it and drawn the right conclusions because Arne's heart was humble and therefore he was loved by Yehowah Elohim. I had sent the book “just in time”! RIP.
Yehowah's clock was accurate again!
Yehowah's clock was accurate, also in my case, because after posting my new working contract to Dynoplast Oy in Lieto, the next day I received a letter with notification from VFK. In it was written that Svenska Handelsbanken has forced VFK Ab into bankruptcy by the end of the month!
The reason was the impending recession of the 1990s and Scandinaviska Enskida Bank did not grant a loan to VFK for salary payments. Lending was normal when Volvo and other companies always paid their wages with a delay of several months. It was also a complete surprise for VFK, whose bankruptcy balance showed around SEK 1.1 million plus!
A suitable verse for what happened is found in Exodus 12:41
>>"When the four hundred and thirty (430) years had passed, it was on that day that all the troops of Yehowah departed from the land of Egypt."<<
An interesting memory
That reminded me of the question from my dad Paulus in the 1990s, "Do you want Leif that I pay the required FIM 30,000 for Gustaf Vasa's promise of the nobility for our ancestor to come into effect?" He had set it for 430 years, the same time that Israel was in slavery in Egypt."
It was only after that time that the nobility would enter into force. The reason was that during the time of Gustav Vasa, King of Sweden, one of my ancestors had succeeded as an officer in the Swedish Army, waging war against the Russian army.
I replied to father, "At least for me it is not worthy of me to have that honor." The rest of my siblings did not want the honor because it would have meant a change of name. A name change would easily lead to bureaucracy for problems. I didn't tell my him the real reason why I didn't care because he wouldn't have understood it then.
The reason was, and still is, that I can not get no longer here on earth and not in heaven higher rank, than what I have already received, to be called a child of the Living Yehowah Elohim of Israel! Here the Apostle Peter wrote: 1. Peter. 2: 6-10.
>>6 Because it is contained in Scripture, "Behold, I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, chosen, and precious: He who believes in him will not be disappointed."
7 For you therefore who believe is the honor, but for such as are disobedient, "The stone which the builders rejected, Has become the chief cornerstone,"
8 and, "A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense." For they stumble at the word, being disobedient, whereunto also they were appointed.
9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for Yehowah's own possession, that you may show forth the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:
10 who in time past were no people, but now are Yehowah's people, who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.<<
