Printable Mode2 Împăraţi 5:27
|
5:27 Lepra lui Naaman se va lipi de tine şi de sămânţa ta pentru totdeauna. Şi Ghehazi a ieşit dinaintea lui Elisei plin de lepră, alb ca zăpada. Se va lipi de tine. Ziua care adusese o aşa de mare binecuvântare pentru Naaman sirianul a adus un teribil blestem pentru evreul slujitor al profetului lui Dumnezeu. Naaman a plecat pe drumul lui în pace, inima sa bucurându-se în noua lui speranţă. Ghehazi îşi ducea rezultatele păcatului său spre mormânt. El a rămas lepros până în ziua morţii lui, blestemat de cer, dispreţuit de semenii săi, o pildă pentru toate vremurile ce vor mai veni despre nebunia lăcomiei şi deşertăciunea unei vieţi care caută în primul rând bogăţia acestei lumi mai degrabă decât bogăţia Împărăţiei lui Dumnezeu. În timpul anilor de tovărăşie cu Elisei, Ghehazi avusese ocazia să înveţe lecţii de bucurie şi satisfacţie a vieţii de consacrare şi iubire neegoistă. Dar el n-a reuşit să-şi înveţe lecţia. Darurile cerului au fost dispreţuite, în timp ce el năzuia după comoara pământească, care, întocmai ca şi cancerul, mănâncă sufletul oamenilor. În loc să dezvolte un spirit de lepădare se sine în timp ce era angajat în slujba lui Dumnezeu, el şi-a îngăduit să devină egoist şi interesat de câştig material. El se interesa mai degrabă de sicli de argint decât de sufletele oamenilor, de haine de in, decât de haina îndreptăţirii. Pentru totdeauna. Nu trebuia să se creadă că, din cauza păcatului lui Ghehazi, Dumnezeu pronunţase un blestem asupra urmaşilor lui care avea să ţină pentru totdeauna. Domnul este bun şi îndurător şi niciodată nu aduce suferinţă nedreaptă sau nenecesară asupra cuiva. Din cauza lăcomiei, Ghehazi a adus asupra sa o judecată teribilă. Din cauza acelei judecăţi, copiii lui erau obligaţi să sufere. Boala şi efectele ei adesea trec asupra unui urmaş nevinovat. Dar, a spune că din cauză că Ghehazi a ajuns un lepros, urmaşii lui din toate veacurile aveau să fie tot nişte leproşi, inseamna a spune ceva ce nu este adevărat. Expresia ebraică folosită aici le’olam, nu înseamnă în mod necesar, fără încetare, sau pentru toată veşnicia. Cuvântul ’olam, când este aplicat la Dumnezeu, înseamnă fără sfârşit; când este aplicat la viaţa omului, acesta se extinde numai până la sfârşitul existenţei omeneşti. În Exod 12,6, un rob trebuia să slujească pe stăpânul său ,,pentru veci”. Pe străinii care locuiau în ţara lor, israeliţii urma să-i ţină ,,astfel robi pe veci” (Levitic 25,46). Cu puţin timp înainte de moartea lui David, Bat-Şeba s-a plecat înaintea împăratului cu cuvintele: ,,Trăiască pe vecie Domnul meu, împăratul David” (1 Regi 1,31). Tot aşa şi Neemia a spus împăratului Artaxerxe: ,,Trăiască împăratul în veac” (Neemia. 2,3). Fumul pământului în ziua mâniei Domnului este descris că ,,se va înălţa în veci” (Isaia. 34,10). Când Iona a descris coborârea lui în pântecele peştelui, el a spus că ,,zăvoarele pământului mă încuiau pe vecie” (Iona 2,6). Expresia le’odam înseamnă simplu: ,,durata vârstei”, şi lungimea timpului la care se referă trebuie să fie dedusă din ideea particulară, cu care este asociată expresia (Exod 12,14; 21,6). Alb ca zăpada. Expresia aceasta este folosită în altă parte în legătură cu atacul brusc de lepră (Exod 4,6; Numeri 12,10). COMENTARIILE LUI E. G.

Special note for ANDROID SmartPhones
I recommend to download PhoneMe emulator for Android from here.
Especially I recommend phoneME Advanced - Foundation Profile + MIDP High Resolution b168 rev20547 from here, or from here.
Then you have to build your application, to transfer the .jar and .jad files on your mobile phone and run using this nice emulator.
1. Install a Zip Utility from Android Market.
2. Install a File Manager from Android Market.
3. Download and install PhoneMe, as mentioned above.
4. Build your application by using Download Multilingual Service or Dynamic Download (zip).
5. Copy the zip file into your Android Phone and unzip the content in a folder, and then write down the path to the unzipped files and the name of the .jad file.
6. Launch PhoneMe from your smartphone.
7. Inside PhoneMe, write to the main window the path and the name to the .jad file, above mentioned. Will look something like: file:///mnt/sd/download/BiblePhone.jad and then press enter.
8. The application will be installed, and next a hyperlink will be available below the above mentioned textbox. On this way you can install as many of MIDP application you like on your Android Phone.
How to install the application in Java Mobile enabled phones
It is possible now to have the Holy Scriptures on your mobile phone and to read
it wherever you are due to the Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP)
technology in 1.0 and 2.0 versions, developed for Java applications.
A good advice is to try in the beginning the MIDP 1.0 / 128 Kbytes version, and
progressively to advance to MIDP 2.0 and larger volumes (512 Kbytes or more).
The application is available for MIDP 2.0, MIDP 1.0. You have only to select one
table on the field MIDP2.0 or MIDP1.0, according to the desired Bible version.
Then, you shall make a click on the JAR (Java Archive) file in order to obtain
the software to be installed on your mobile phone.
I recommend you to start with STARTER(MIDP1.0old) edition, then to continue with
INTERMEDIATE(MIDP1.0), and in the end, if the mobile phone supports this thing,
to try to install the ADVANCED (MIDP2.0) edition. Also, start with 128 kbytes
volumes, continue with 512 kbytes, and at the end try the version in one file.
There are cases where the mobile phone requires so called JAD (Java Descriptor)
files. These JAD files has to be
uploaded, on this case, together with the desired JAR files(s).
There are different methods to download the applications in your mobile phone as
follows:
1. Directly from Internet by using a WAP or GPRS connection
2. By using the infrared port of the mobile phone
3. By wireless Bluetooth access to the mobile phone
4. By cable link between PC ad mobile phone
5. If none from the above cases are valid
Next, we shall examine each case in order to have a successfully installation of
the software.
1. Directly from Internet by using a WAP or GPRS connection
If your have Internet access on your mobile phone (e.g. WAP or GPRS), it is
enough to access
https://biblephone.intercer.net/wap/ from the browser of the mobile phone,
and to access the desired Bible version, and then to make an option about
MIDP1.0 or MIDP2.0, and finally to select the desired module (e.g. one or more).
After the last selection, the desired version will be downloaded on your mobile
phone.
Many phones have only this option for installing JAVA appplications.
2. By using the infrared port of the mobile phone
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific mobile
phones.
If you don't have access to Internet directly from your mobile phone, then you
shall have to pass to this step requiring to have infrared ports on your mobile
phone and on the computer.
a. On this case, you will download the application by using the computer from
the Internet (i.e. JAR files).
b. Once the application is downloaded (preferable on the desktop) you will have
to activate the infrared port on the mobile phone and align it with the infrared
port of the computer (preferable laptop).
c. Then a window will appear asking what file you want to send to the mobile
phone. Next, you will select the downloaded JAR file, and after OK, the mobile
phone will ask you if you want to load that file. You say YES and the
application will be downloaded on your mobile phone.
d. Probably, you will be asked by the mobile phone where you want to save it (e.g.
on the games or applications directories). After you made this selection, the
file will be ready to be loaded for run.
The displaying preference can be set inside the application in order to have
larger fonts, full screen display etc.
3. By wireless Bluetooth access to the mobile phone
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific mobile
phones.
This situation is similar with the infrared case. You have only to activate
Bluetooth access on your mobile phone (check if exists) and on the computer (check
if exists).
4. By cable link between PC ad mobile phone
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific
mobile phones.
On this case the steps are as follows:
a. On this case, you will download the application by using the computer from
the Internet (i.e. JAR files).
b. Once the application is downloaded (preferable on the desktop) you will have
to set up the wired connection between the mobile phone and the computer. Next,
you will start the synchronization / data transfer application and download the
JAR file in your mobile phone. Surely, you will have to consult the CD of your
mobile phone.
c. By this application you shall transfer into your mobile phone the JAR file in
the games or applications directories. Next, you will have to select for run the
JAR desired file.
5. If none from the above cases are valid
On this unhappy case, I recommend you to find a friend with a laptop having
infrared / Bluetooth capabilities, or to buy a data link cable, or to change
your current model of mobile phone.
Unfortunately, some models of mobile phones require only WAP/GPRS in order to
download and run Java applications.
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific mobile
phones. Therefore check the documentation of them and also the page for specific
models.
Why so many versions? Simple, because not all the mobile phones support the
Bible in one file with MIDP 2.0 (the most advanced for the time being).
