Insurance companies are making climate risk worse

Tomorrow (November 29), I'm at NYC's Strand Books with my novel The Lost Cause, a solarpunk tale of hope and danger that Rebecca Solnit called "completely delightful."

Conservatives may deride the "reality-based community" as a drag on progress and commercial expansion, but even the most noxious pump-and-dump capitalism is supposed to remain tethered to reality by two unbreakable fetters: auditing and insurance:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reality-based_community

No matter how much you value profit over ethics or human thriving, you still need honest books – even if you never show those books to the taxman or the marks. Even an outright scammer needs to know what's coming in and what's going out so they don't get caught in a liquidity trap (that is, "broke"), or overleveraged ("broke," again) exposed to market changes (you guessed it: "broke").

Unfortunately for capitalism, auditing is on its deathbed. The market is sewn up by the wildly corrupt and conflicted Big Four accounting firms that are the very definition of too big to fail/too big to jail. They keep cooking books on behalf of management to the detriment of investors. These double-entry fabrications conceal rot in giant, structurally important firms until they implode spectacularly and suddenly, leaving workers, suppliers, customers and investors in a state of utter higgeldy-piggeldy:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/11/29/great-andersens-ghost/#mene-mene-bezzle

In helping corporations defraud institutional investors, auditors are facilitating mass scale millionaire-on-billionaire violence, and while that may seem like the kind of fight where you're happy to see either party lose, there are inevitably a lot of noncombatants in the blast radius. Since the Enron collapse, the entire accounting sector has turned to quicksand, which is a big deal, given that it's what industrial capitalism's foundations are anchored to. There's a reason my last novel was a thriller about forensic accounting and Big Tech:

https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250865847/red-team-blues

But accounting isn't the only bedrock that's been reduced to slurry here in capitalism's end-times. The insurance sector is meant to be an unshakably rational enterprise, imposing discipline on the rest of the economy. Sure, your company can do something stupid and reckless, but the insurance bill will be stonking, sufficient to consume the expected additional profits.

But the crash of 2008 made it clear that the largest insurance companies in the world were capable of the same wishful thinking, motivated reasoning, and short-termism that they were supposed to prevent in every other business. Without AIG – one of the largest insurers in the world – there would have been no Great Financial Crisis. The company knowingly underwrote hundreds of billions of dollars in junk bonds dressed up as AAA debt, and required a $180b bailout.

Still, many of us have nursed an ember of hope that the insurance sector would spur Big Finance and its pocket governments into taking the climate emergency seriously. When rising seas and wildfires and zoonotic plagues and famines and rolling refugee crises make cities, businesses, and homes uninsurable risks, then insurers will stop writing policies and the doom will become undeniable. Money talks, bullshit walks.

But while insurers have begun to withdraw from the most climate-endangered places (or crank up premiums), the net effect is to decrease climate resilience and increase risk, creating a "climate risk doom loop" that Advait Arun lays out brilliantly for Phenomenal World:

https://www.phenomenalworld.org/analysis/the-doom-loop/

Part of the problem is political: as people move into high-risk areas (flood-prone coastal cities, fire-threatened urban-wildlife interfaces), politicians are pulling out all the stops to keep insurers from disinvesting in these high-risk zones. They're loosening insurance regs, subsidizing policies, and imposing "disaster risk fees" on everyone in the region.

But the insurance companies themselves are simply not responding aggressively enough to the rising risk. Climate risk is correlated, after all: when everyone in a region is at flood risk, then everyone will be making a claim on the insurance company when the waters come. The insurance trick of spreading risk only works if the risks to everyone in that spread aren't correlated.

Perversely, insurance companies are heavily invested in fossil fuel companies, these being reliable money-spinners where an insurer can park and grow your premiums, on the assumption that most of the people in the risk pool won't file claims at the same time. But those same fossil-fuel assets produce the very correlated risk that could bring down the whole system.

The system is in trouble. US claims from "natural disasters" are topping $100b/year – up from $4.6b in 2000. Home insurance premiums are up (21%!), but it's not enough, especially in drowning Florida and Texas (which is also both roasting and freezing):

https://grist.org/economics/as-climate-risks-mount-the-insurance-safety-net-is-collapsing/

Insurers who put premiums up to cover this new risk run into a paradox: the higher premiums get, the more risk-tolerant customers get. When flood insurance is cheap, lots of homeowners will stump up for it and create a big, uncorrelated risk-pool. When premiums skyrocket, the only people who buy flood policies are homeowners who are dead certain their house is gonna get flooded out and soon. Now you have a risk pool consisting solely of highly correlated, high risk homes. The technical term for this in the insurance trade is: "bad."

But it gets worse: people who decide not to buy policies as prices go up may be doing their own "motivated reasoning" and "mispricing their risk." That is, they may decide, "If I can't afford to move, and I can't afford to sell my house because it's in a flood-zone, and I can't afford insurance, I guess that means I'm going to live here and be uninsured and hope for the best."

This is also bad. The amount of uninsured losses from US climate disaster "dwarfs" insured losses:

https://www.reuters.com/business/environment/hurricanes-floods-bring-120-billion-insurance-losses-2022-2023-01-09/

Here's the doom-loop in a nutshell:

As carbon emissions continue to accumulate, more people are put at risk of climate disaster, while the damages from those disasters intensifies. Vulnerability will drive disinvestment, which in turn exacerbates vulnerability.

Also: the browner and poorer you are, the worse you have it: you are impacted "first and worst":

https://www.climaterealityproject.org/frontline-fenceline-communities

As Arun writes, "Tinkering with insurance markets will not solve their real issues—we must patch the gaping holes in the financial system itself." We have to end the loop that sees the poorest places least insured, and the loss of insurance leading to abandonment by people with money and agency, which zeroes out the budget for climate remediation and resiliency where it is most needed.

The insurance sector is part of the finance industry, and it is disinvesting in climate-endagered places and instead doubling down on its bets on fossil fuels. We can't rely on the insurance sector to discipline other industries by generating "price signals" about the true underlying climate risk. And insurance doesn't just invest in fossil fuels – they're also a major buyer of municipal and state bonds, which means they're part of the "bond vigilante" investors whose decisions constrain the ability of cities to raise and spend money for climate remediation.

When American cities, territories and regions can't float bonds, they historically get taken over and handed to an unelected "control board" who represents distant creditors, not citizens. This is especially true when the people who live in those places are Black or brown – think Puerto Rico or Detroit or Flint. These control board administrators make creditors whole by tearing the people apart.

This is the real doom loop: insurers pull out of poor places threatened by climate disasters. They invest in the fossil fuels that worsen those disasters. They join with bond vigilantes to force disinvestment from infrastructure maintenance and resiliency in those places. Then, the next climate disaster creates more uninsured losses. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Finance and insurance are betting heavily on climate risk modeling – not to avert this crisis, but to ensure that their finances remain intact though it. What's more, it won't work. As climate effects get bigger, they get less predictable – and harder to avoid. The point of insurance is spreading risk, not reducing it. We shouldn't and can't rely on insurance creating price-signals to reduce our climate risk.

But the climate doom-loop can be put in reverse – not by market spending, but by public spending. As Arun writes, we need to create "a global investment architecture that is safe for spending":

https://tanjasail.wordpress.com/2023/10/06/a-world-safe-for-spending/

Public investment in emissions reduction and resiliency can offset climate risk, by reducing future global warming and by making places better prepared to endure the weather and other events that are locked in by past emissions. A just transition will "loosen liquidity constraints on investment in communities made vulnerable by the financial system."

Austerity is a bad investment strategy. Failure to maintain and improve infrastructure doesn't just shift costs into the future, it increases those costs far in excess of any rational discount based on the time value of money. Public institutions should discipline markets, not the other way around. Don't give Wall Street a veto over our climate spending. A National Investment Authority could subordinate markets to human thriving:

https://democracyjournal.org/arguments/industrial-policy-requires-public-not-just-private-equity/

Insurance need not be pitted against human survival. Saving the cities and regions whose bonds are held by insurance companies is good for those companies: "Breaking the climate risk doom loop is the best disaster insurance policy money can buy."

I found Arun's work to be especially bracing because of the book I'm touring now, The Lost Cause, a solarpunk novel set in a world in which vast public investment is being made to address the climate emergency that is everywhere and all at once:

https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250865939/the-lost-cause

There is something profoundly hopeful about the belief that we can do something about these foreseeable disasters – rather than remaining frozen in place until the disaster is upon us and it's too late. As Rebecca Solnit says, inhabiting this place in your imagination is "Completely delightful. Neither utopian nor dystopian, it portrays life in SoCal in a future woven from our successes (Green New Deal!), failures (climate chaos anyway), and unresolved conflicts (old MAGA dudes). I loved it."

๋࣭ ⭑⚝ The Rise and Fall of Ancient Egyptian Civilization๋࣭ ⭑⚝

hey guys im back AND late but here was a very long and slightly complicated one enjoy :D

Ancient Egypt, one of the most iconic civilizations in history, thrived for over three millennia, leaving an indelible mark on human culture, art, and governance. Its history is a tapestry of great achievements and inevitable decline, shaped by its geographic advantages, complex social structure, and interactions with neighboring powers.

The Geographic Foundation of Egyptian Civilization

The Nile River was the foundation of Ancient Egypt's prosperity. Flowing northward through an arid desert, the Nile created a fertile strip of land that was ideal for agriculture. The river's annual inundation deposited nutrient-rich silt onto the land, enabling the Egyptians to grow abundant crops, which in turn supported a growing population and the development of a complex society.

Geography played a crucial role in the development of a unified Egyptian state. The Nile served as a natural highway, facilitating communication and trade between Upper and Lower Egypt. This unity was essential for the centralized control that characterized Ancient Egyptian governance. Moreover, the deserts to the east and west, and the cataracts of the Nile to the south, provided natural barriers that protected Egypt from invasions, allowing the civilization to flourish relatively undisturbed by external threats.

The Unification of Egypt and the Early Dynastic Period

Around 3100 BCE, King Narmer (often identified as Menes) achieved the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt, marking the beginning of the Early Dynastic Period (c. 3100–2686 BCE). This unification was a critical moment in Egyptian history, laying the groundwork for the centralized state that would dominate the region for centuries.

During this period, the pharaoh emerged as both a political and religious leader, considered a divine ruler responsible for maintaining Ma'at, the cosmic order. The early pharaohs established a bureaucratic system that allowed them to administer the state efficiently, collect taxes, and organize large-scale construction projects. The development of hieroglyphic writing during this time enabled the recording of official decrees, religious texts, and monumental inscriptions, further solidifying the authority of the pharaohs.

The Old Kingdom: The Age of the Pyramids

The Old Kingdom (c. 2686–2181 BCE), often referred to as the "Age of the Pyramids," saw the construction of some of the most enduring symbols of Ancient Egypt. The most famous of these is the Great Pyramid of Giza, built during the reign of Pharaoh Khufu (c. 2589–2566 BCE). This period was characterized by the centralization of power in the hands of the pharaoh, who was regarded as a living god responsible for the well-being of the state.

The economy of the Old Kingdom was based on a redistributive system, where the surplus from agriculture was collected by the state and used to fund massive construction projects, support the bureaucracy, and maintain the military. This system allowed the pharaohs to command vast resources, which were used to build monumental structures that symbolized their divine authority and ensured their legacy.

However, the immense resources required for these projects eventually strained the economy. By the end of the Sixth Dynasty, around 2181 BCE, the centralized power of the pharaohs began to decline. Low Nile floods, combined with the growing power of regional governors (nomarchs), led to a weakening of central authority and the collapse of the Old Kingdom, ushering in the First Intermediate Period.

The First Intermediate Period: A Time of Fragmentation

The First Intermediate Period (c. 2181–2055 BCE) was marked by political fragmentation and social instability. With the collapse of the Old Kingdom, Egypt split into several smaller, competing regions, each ruled by local leaders. This period is often described as a "dark age" in Egyptian history, characterized by a decline in monumental building, cultural achievements, and central authority.

Despite the challenges of this period, the resilience of Egyptian society eventually led to the reunification of the country. The rulers of Thebes, in Upper Egypt, gradually gained power and, by the end of the Eleventh Dynasty, succeeded in reuniting Egypt under the leadership of Pharaoh Mentuhotep II. This marked the beginning of the Middle Kingdom, a period of renewed stability and prosperity.

The Middle Kingdom: A Period of Renewal

The Middle Kingdom (c. 2055–1650 BCE) is often regarded as a renaissance period in Egyptian history. The pharaohs of the Middle Kingdom focused on consolidating their power, reforming the administration, and expanding Egypt's influence beyond its traditional borders.

One of the most significant achievements of the Middle Kingdom was the expansion of Egypt's borders into Nubia, a region rich in gold and other valuable resources. The Egyptians established a series of fortresses along the Nile in Nubia, securing control over the region and ensuring a steady supply of resources for the state. The Middle Kingdom also saw increased trade with the Levant and other regions, bringing in goods such as cedarwood, lapis lazuli, and silver.

The literature of the Middle Kingdom reflects a more introspective and realistic view of life compared to the Old Kingdom. Works such as the "Tale of Sinuhe" and the "Instructions of Amenemhat" emphasize themes of loyalty, morality, and the responsibilities of the pharaoh to his people. The concept of Ma'at continued to be central to Egyptian thought, but there was also a growing recognition of the complexities and challenges of maintaining order in the world.

The Middle Kingdom pharaohs undertook large-scale irrigation projects to improve agricultural productivity and prevent the famine that had plagued the late Old Kingdom. These projects included the construction of canals and reservoirs to control the Nile's flooding and to ensure a stable water supply for agriculture. The increased agricultural productivity contributed to the prosperity of the Middle Kingdom and supported the growth of a more complex and stratified society.

The Second Intermediate Period and the Rise of the New Kingdom

The decline of the Middle Kingdom led to the Second Intermediate Period (c. 1650–1550 BCE), a time of political instability and foreign invasions. The Hyksos, a group of Asiatic people, established themselves as rulers in Lower Egypt, introducing new technologies such as the horse-drawn chariot and composite bow. Meanwhile, native Egyptian rulers maintained power in Thebes, leading to a divided Egypt.

Eventually, the Theban rulers mounted a successful campaign to expel the Hyksos, leading to the reunification of Egypt under Ahmose I and the beginning of the New Kingdom (c. 1550–1070 BCE). This period is often referred to as the "Empire Period" due to Egypt's expansion and dominance over neighboring regions, including Nubia, the Levant, and parts of the Near East.

The New Kingdom pharaohs, such as Thutmose III, Hatshepsut, and Ramses II, expanded Egypt's borders through military campaigns and diplomatic alliances. The empire's wealth was further bolstered by tribute from conquered territories and extensive trade networks. The period also saw a resurgence in monumental building projects, with the construction of massive temples, such as those at Karnak and Luxor, and the rock-cut temples at Abu Simbel.

Religion played a central role in the New Kingdom, with the pharaohs increasingly emphasizing their divine status and their connection to the gods. The worship of the sun god Amun-Ra became particularly prominent, and the pharaohs were often depicted as the "son of Ra," chosen to rule by divine mandate. The New Kingdom also saw the rise of the powerful priesthood of Amun, which would later become a significant political force in its own right.

However, the immense costs of maintaining an empire, both in terms of resources and military commitments, gradually weakened the state. The death of Ramses II in 1213 BCE marked the beginning of a slow decline, as his successors struggled to maintain the empire's vast territories. Internal strife, including power struggles among the nobility and challenges to the authority of the pharaoh, further destabilized the kingdom.

The Decline and Fall of Ancient Egypt

The decline of Egypt accelerated during the Third Intermediate Period (c. 1070–664 BCE), a time characterized by political fragmentation and foreign invasions. The once-unified kingdom split into multiple smaller states, with the Libyans and Nubians establishing their own dynasties in different regions of Egypt. The arrival of the Sea Peoples, a confederation of naval raiders who caused widespread destruction throughout the Eastern Mediterranean, further strained Egypt's resources and military capabilities.

Despite these challenges, Egypt experienced a brief resurgence during the Late Period (c. 664–332 BCE) under the Saite dynasty, particularly under Pharaoh Psamtik I, who reasserted control over the country and repelled foreign invaders. The Saites focused on reviving the cultural and religious traditions of the past, as well as rebuilding the country's economy. However, this revival was short-lived, as Egypt was increasingly drawn into the conflicts of the larger Mediterranean world.

In 525 BCE, Egypt was conquered by the Persian Empire under Cambyses II, becoming a satrapy within the larger Achaemenid Empire. Although Egypt regained its independence briefly during the 28th to 30th Dynasties, it was finally and irrevocably absorbed into the Macedonian Empire following the conquest by Alexander the Great in 332 BCE. The subsequent Ptolemaic Period (305–30 BCE) represented a fusion of Greek and Egyptian cultures, but it was clear that the era of native Egyptian rule had come to an end.

The death of Cleopatra VII in 30 BCE and the annexation of Egypt by the Roman Empire marked the final chapter in the long and storied history of ancient Egyptian civilization. The fall of Egypt was not simply the result of external conquest, but also the culmination of centuries of internal decay, economic decline, and the gradual loss of autonomy in the face of rising foreign powers.

The rise and fall of ancient Egypt is a testament to the complex interplay of geography, governance, culture, and external forces in shaping the destiny of a civilization. From its origins along the life-giving Nile to its zenith as a powerful empire and its eventual decline, Egypt's history offers valuable insights into the factors that sustain and undermine civilizations. The legacy of ancient Egypt, preserved in its monuments, art, and written records, continues to influence and inspire the modern world. The civilization's story serves as both a cautionary tale and a reminder of the enduring achievements of human ingenuity and resilience.

Kuudes joulukuuta (The Sixth December)

The 6th December is Finnish Independence Day. It is a solem celebration. On this day we remember and honour those who fought for our country’s independence against the Soviet Union, an old enemy that planned to destroy us.

Teille käsky kuului rajoillamme seistä Oli tehtävänne silloin mahdoton Sinne jäivät ikuisesti monet teistä Teki valintojaan käsi kohtalon

You were ordered to stand at our borders Your task back then was impossible Many of you were left behind there forever The hand of fate dealt its choices

Ovat rajalliset elämämme päivät Emme koskaan tiedä kenen vuoro on Monet palas’, mutta liian monet jäivät Vuoksi kodin, isänmaan ja uskonnon

The days of our lives are limited We never know whose turn is next Many returned, but too many stayed For the sake of home, country, and religion

Ilman ontuvaa ystävääni Olisimme vain läntisin lääni Ilman miestä, jonka jalka on nyt puuta Olis' arkipäivä kuudes joulukuuta Ilman teitä, selvinneitä jostain sieltä Puhuisimme nyt vierasta kieltä Ilman heitä, joiden ristit ovat puuta Olis’ arkipäivä kuudes joulukuuta

Without my limping friend We would be just the westernmost province Without the man whose leg is now wood The sixth of December would be just like any other day Without you, the survivors from somewhere over there We would now speak a foreign language Without those whose crosses are wood * The sixth of December would be just like any other day

Eivät koskaan mene umpeen sielun haavat Emme niitä pysty teille korvaamaan Aivan liian harvat teistä nähdä saavat Kun me itsenäisyyttämme juhlitaan

The wounds of the soul will never heal We can never compensate those for you Far too few of you get to see As we celebrate our independence

Vielä vapaa on ja itsenäinen maamme Se on sitä vuoksi suuren urheuden Nöyrin mielin Suomen lippuun katsokaamme Kiitos teidän, se on sinivalkoinen

Our country is still free and independent That it is due to great bravery Let us humbly look upon the Finnish flag Thanks to you it is blue and white

Ilman ontuvaa ystävääni... ...Olis’ arkipäivä kuudes joulukuuta

Without my limping friend... ...The sixth of December would be just like any other day

* Typically the graves of fallen soldiers are grouped together and are marked by simple, white crosses.

The materials, of which I purpose to make use in the following inquiries, are comparatively few, and will be contained within a small compass. They are such as are to be found in the composition of most names, which occur in antient mythology: whether they relate to Deities then reverenced; or to the places, where their worship was introduced. But they appear no where so plainly, as in the names of those places, which were situated in Babylonia and Egypt. From these parts they were, in process of time, transferred to countries far remote; beyond the Ganges eastward, and to the utmost bounds of the Mediterranean west; wherever the sons of Ham under their various denominations either settled or traded. For I have mentioned that this people were great adventurers; and began an extensive commerce in very early times. They got footing in many parts; where they founded cities, which were famous in their day. They likewise erected towers and temples: and upon headlands and promontories they raised pillars for sea-marks to direct them in their perilous expeditions. All these were denominated from circumstances, that had some reference to the religion, which this people professed; and to the ancestors, whence they sprung. The Deity, which they originally worshipped, was the Sun. But they soon conferred his titles upon some of their ancestors: whence arose a mixed worship. They particularly deified the great Patriarch, who was the head of their line; and worshipped him as the fountain of light: making the Sun only an emblem of his influence and power. They called him Bal, and Baal: and there were others of their ancestry joined with him, whom they styled the Baalim. Chus was one of these: and this idolatry began among his sons. In respect then to the names, which this people, in process of time, conferred either upon the Deities they worshipped, or upon the cities, which they founded; we shall find them to be generally made up of some original terms for a basis, such as Ham, Cham, and Chus: or else of the titles, with which those personages were, in process of time, honoured. These were Thoth, Men or Menes, Ab, El, Aur, Ait, Ees or Ish, On, Bel, Cohen, Keren, Ad, Adon, Ob, Oph, Apha, Uch, Melech, Anac, Sar, Sama, Samaïm. We must likewise take notice of those common names, by which places are distinguished, such as Kir, Caer, Kiriath, Carta, Air, Col, Cala, Beth, Ai, Ain, Caph, and Cephas. Lastly are to be inserted the particles Al and Pi; which were in use among the antient Egyptians.

znaš li da kada sam depresivan dođem na mjesto gdje smo se prvi put zagrlili?

trenutno sam na tom mjestu

sjedim na svom skuteru marke lifan, zapalio sam cigaretu marke davidoff i gledam na brzi put

ponekad i pomislim šta u glavama ljudi koji voze sva ta auta ali je to stvarno rijetkost jer iskreno ne želim se miješati u tuđe probleme jer ih i sam imam previše

više razmišljam o sebi i o nama

da li si ti prava za mene

nekako se sve promjenilo tako brzo

i ona vječna vatra kao da je opet počela sve jače i jače da gori

dođem umoran sa posla a ti mi počneš pričati kako misliš da mislim na druge djevojke

tako sav umoran primoran sam da pričam sa tobom

nemojte me pogrešno shvatiti, nije da meni nije stalo do nje ali opet, stvarno sam umoran

posije 9 sati očekuješ neku poruku kao “volim te” ili “jesi li mi se umorio, jedva čekam da se odmoriš u mojim rukama”

ipak ne dođemo opšte do te teme

nadam se da će sve dobro završiti

Ei synny oikeutta ilman taistelua

On oikeasti aika saatanan absurdia että kaikki meidän viestintämme menee jenkkeihin jonnekin Mark Zuckerbergin tai hänen kavereidensa arkistoihin jotta he voisivat sitten analysoida ne ja joko myydä meille tavaraa tai varastaa kaikki ideamme ja muutakin.

Se että tämäkin lähtee verkkosivulleni palvelun kautta joka on jenkkiomisteinen kun kotimaisia ei juuri löydy samalla käyttökelpoisuudella vain vahvistaa vitutustani.

Koska vain yhdessä te voitte merkittävästi tehdä omasta maailman nurkastanne paremman.

The Onyx Pyramid - A Legend From The Past | The Onyx Pyramid… | Flickr

The Onyx Pyramid – A Legend From The Past by Daniel Arrhakis (2024) The First Dynasty of ancient Egypt (Dynasty I) covers the first series of Egyptian kings to rule over a unified Egypt. It immediately follows the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt, possibly by Menes/Narmer, and marks the beginning of the Early Dynastic Period, when power was centered at Thinis. But there is another History…

Alkohoolin vallattu akateemikko löysi Jumalan!

IISALMEN SANOMAT julkaisi Todistukseni! Wikipedian mukaan 42 000 lukijaa, jotka siis saivat Evankeliumia todistukseni kautta omassa sanomalehdessään. Kiitos ja kunnia Herra Jeesukselle☝️💯 Hän jatkaa tehdä näitä sanomalehtien "julkaisusihmeitä"! Nyt jo silleen 850 000 lukijaa yhteensä Pohjoismaissa ja useita miljoonia ulkomailla. Rukoillaan nyt siunausta ja Pelastusta Iisalmen alueelle ja väestölle! Ja, myös muille jotka ovat ja tulevat lukea näitä "evankeliumin artikkeleita"🙏💖. Uskon, että tämän maailman aikakausi on hyvin lähellä loppuaan, ja Jeesus tulee hyvin pian takaisin. On siis kiire saada ihmiset Pelastukseen. Pohjoismaissa asuu 25 miljoonaa ihmistä, 95% heistä ei ole "Uudestisyntyneitä Jeesuksen pelastettuja opetuslapsia", siis vähintään 23 miljoonaa sielua on tällä hetkellä menossa pikavauhtia ikuiseen tulimereen!

Monesti "herätystä" on edeltänyt massiivista sekä rukousta että evankeliumin levittämistä. Siis jaetaan me kaikki Jeesukselle kuuluvat Pelastuksen sanomaa, kaikilla mahdollisilla tavoilla!… Vertaus: On vene missä sinä istut turvassa. On paljon muitakin turvaveneitä kauenpana tässä valtavan suurella merellä, mutta tuhansia ihmisiä leijuvat pimeässä ja kylmässä vedessä, myrskyn aallot iskee ja monet hukkuu, he kaikki ovat hukkumassa vajoten pimeyden syvyyksiin, hirvittävään ikuisuuteen…Sinulla on monta eri pelastusvälinettä mitä voit käyttää, joitten avulla voit antaa hukkuvaisille Pelastuksen sanoman/evankeliumin, joka vetäisi heidät ylös turvaan. Mutta sun täytyy seista ylös ja toimia…Saat silloin jopa Jumalan voimaa avuksi, kunhan vaan toimit…Annat ihmisille Evankeliumia kaikilla mahdollisilla tavoilla ja välineillä; Todistat naapureille, työtovereille, torilla ja kaikialla missä ihmisiä on. Jaat traktaatteja, lehtiä postilaatikkoihin. Kirjoitat artikkeleita lehtiin. Evankelistisia ulkokokouksia torilla tai puistossa. Radio- ja TVohjelmia. "Koputat ovia". Ja niin edelleen…Rukoilet tietenkin, myös 🙏 Haluatko seisoa ylös sohvalta ja toimia, haluatko? Herra Jeesus kysyy ja kehottaa Sanassaan useasti…

Tässä nyt esimerkiksi pari sanomaa Herralta sinulle ja minulle:

Mark.16:15-16: "Hän (Jeesus) sanoi heille: »Menkää kaikkialle maailmaan ja JULISTAKAA EVANKELIUMI kaikille luoduille. Joka sen uskoo ja saa kasteen, on pelastuva. Joka ei usko, se tuomitaan kadotukseen"…☝️🙏🔥

Luk.14:16-23: Jeesus vastasi näin: »Eräs mies järjesti suuret pidot ja oli kutsunut paljon vieraita. Kun pitojen oli määrä alkaa, hän lähetti palvelijansa sanomaan kutsutuille: ’Tulkaa, kaikki on jo valmiina.’ Mutta yksi toisensa jälkeen nämä alkoivat esittää verukkeita. ’Olen ostanut pellon’, sanoi yksi, ’minun täytyy mennä katsomaan sitä. Suothan anteeksi, etten pääse tulemaan.’ ’Ostin viisi härkäparia’, sanoi toinen, ’ja olen lähdössä kokeilemaan niitä. Suothan anteeksi, etten pääse tulemaan.’ Kolmas sanoi: ’Olen juuri mennyt naimisiin enkä siksi voi tulla.’ »Palvelija palasi ja kertoi tämän herralleen. Silloin isäntä vihastui ja sanoi palvelijalle: ’Mene kiireesti kaupungin kaduille ja toreille ja tuo tänne köyhät ja raajarikot, sokeat ja rammat.’ Palvelija tuli sanomaan: ’Herra, olen tehnyt niin kuin käskit, mutta vielä on tilaa.’ Silloin herra sanoi: ’MENE MAANTEILLE ja KYLIEN KUJILLE ja VAADI IHMISIÄ TULEMAAN, jotta taloni täyttyisi"…☝️🙏🔥

ALKOHOOLIN VALLATTU AKATEEMIKKO LÖYTÄÄ JUMALAN!

Istuin teini-iässä Suomen Lapin laajan järven rannalla suomalainen olut nyrkkissä, Lapin Kulta mitä muuta, ja katselin auringonlaskua hyväilemässä vedenpintaa ennen kuin se vajosi syvyyksiin ja pimeys otti vallan, ja koin vain tyhjyyttä ja kysyin itseltäni "eikö todellakaan ole mitään muuta?"

Tämä kysymys jahtasi tämän eksyneen yliopisto-opintoihin, melkein 4 vuoden ajan luin ehkä sata niistä parhaista, arvostetuista kirjallisuuden suurteoista, filosofiaa ja muita älykkäitä aiheita.

Suomalainen olut vaihdettiin opiskelijakapakassa viiniin, ja humalassa olin kolme päivää viikossa. Ei vastauksia tullut, ei kirjasta eikä pullosta. Jatkuvaa merkityksettömyyttä ja tätä jatkuvaa teräksen kylmää ja kuollutta "tyhjyyttä", joka halusi tukahduttaa kaiken elämän, jos oli jotain sellaista.

Kohtasin muutaman uskovaisen, jotka halusivat kääntää minut Jeesuksen puoleen, ha ha, minä pilkaten ja ylivoimaisesti heilautin heidät pois. Mutta heidän sanansa tarttuivat ihmeellisellä tavalla. Omatuntoni heräsi, outo kokemus, mistä se tuli? Tarvitsisinkö muka minä "syntien anteeksiantoa?" Valehdellut, käyttänyt hyväksi toisia, ilkeyttä ja itsekkyyttä tietenkin olin harrastanut, ihan niinkuin kaikki muutkin normaalit ihmiset.

Sitten rakas, läheinen sukulainen kuoli, hautajaisissa Savukoskella kannoimme arkun ja silloin yhtäkkiä jokin yliluonnollinen läsnäolo tuli ylleni. Oliko se "Jumala?!" Koin iloa ja rauhaa kaiken surun ja kuoleman keskellä!

Järkyttyneenä kotihin tullessa luin yhdestä kirjasta evankeliumin sanoman. Se oli myöhään eräänä iltana 17. elokuuta 1995. Yksin pienessä kämpässäni ymmärsin yhtäkkiä, olin syyllinen! Ja Vapahtaja oli ottanut syyllisyyteni, syntini ja jopa rangaistukseni verisellä Ristillä.

Mutta itsepäinen olin ja vielä akateeminen ylpeys. Pyysin siksi vahvistusta Korkeimmalta, ja sain vastauksen! Minä katsoin ulos yöikkunasta ja huusin suoraan pimeyteen, kohti taivasta: "Jumala jos olet olemassa, näytä se minulle nyt!"

Tällä kertaa valtava rakkauden ja rauhan aalto, koko huone muuttui häikäisevän valkoiseksi ja Jeesus otti minua kädestä ja sanoi "Pekka, minä kuolin puolestasi, rakastan sinua, sinulle on annettu anteeksi ja olet vapaa, seuraa Minua". Ensimmäistä kertaa menin polvilleni ja rukoilin: "Anteeksi Jumala, uskon sinuun Jeesus, olen sinun".

Ja voitteko kuvitella, tyhjyys katosi ja elämä voitti ja täytti minut, niin että se virtasi yli ja läpäisi jokaisen atomin olemuksessani, se oli ja on kuin elää korkeimmalla mahdollisella tasolla, se oli se olemassaoloni tarkoitus, ja "autuas" olen edelleen 29 vuoden jälkeen…
