Printable Mode2 Imparati 3:11
|
3:11 Dar Iosafat a zis: Nu este aici nici un proroc al Domnului, prin care sa putem intreba pe Domnul? Unul din slujitorii imparatului lui Israel a raspuns: Este aici Elisei, fiul lui Safat, care turna apa pe mainile lui Ilie. Iosafat a zis. Ioram a privit in jos, dar Iosafat a privit in sus. Imparatul lui Israel a privit la sine si la slabiciunea lui, dar imparatul lui Iuda a privit la Iehova si la puterea pe care stia ca este la dispozitia Lui. Ioram a gasit gresit pe Dumnezeu si L-a invinuit pentru ceea ce el gandea a fi un dezastru fara speranta. Iosafat a privit dincolo de dificultatile prezentului si a gasit mangaiere si speranta in Domnul. Un profet. Iosafat a recunoscut ca aici era vorba de o situatie pentru care resursele umane nu erau suficiente. Pentru un astfel de timp de pericol extrem era nevoie de glasul unui profet. Numai o solie divina putea aduce sfatul si calauzirea care aveau sa arate acum calea de iesire din aceasta vale a mortii. Prin care sa putem intreba. Fiecarui om ii este dat privilegiul rugaciunii si al cererii personale de la Domnul, iar Dumnezeu alege felul in care se va da raspunsul divin. In intelepciunea si providenta Sa, Dumnezeu a ales sa vorbeasca poporului prin solii Sai, profetii, ca sa aduca solii de lumina, viata si nadejde. Pentru acela care vrea sa asculte de aceste solii se deschide o cale de lumina si bucurie. Pentru acel care refuza sa asculte, nu exista decat intuneric, infrangere si disperare. Unul din slujitorii imparatului lui Israel. Cat de inalta sau cat de mica era pozitia acestui slujitor, nu stim. Dar stim ca el a fost cel care a spus cu privire la barbatul care putea fi gasit, de care era atat de mare nevoie in acest ceas critic. Pozitia are putina importanta in astfel de vremuri. Era nevoie de un profet si era si un slujitor care stia unde putea fi gasit profetul. Cat de des, in lucrarea Domnului, ii este dat unui individ simplu sa faca vreo sugestie care, in cele din urma, duce la cele mai mari victorii. Dumnezeu lucreaza prin orice om care se supune poruncii divine, fara a se tine seama de cat de joasa poate fi pozitia unuia ca acesta. Este aici Elisei. Se pare ca Elisei era pe undeva prin apropiere. Evident ca Ioram nu stia ca profetul se afla undeva pe aproape. Dar slujitorul stia si Dumnezeu stia. Nu exista niciodata o criza pentru Domnul. Dumnezeu a prevazut aceasta situatie si servul Sau era disponibil, astfel ca lumina cereasca sa poata fi data chiar la timpul cand era atat de disperat necesara. Turna apa. Acest amanunt interesant dezvaluie una din lucrarile pe care Elisei era obisnuit sa le indeplineasca atunci cand insotea pe varstnicul profet. Elisei a facut asa cum trebuie umilele sarcini ce i-au fost incredintate, iar acum, Domnul a pus asupra lui raspunderi de cea mai mare importanta. Obiceiul de a ,,turna apa pe mainile” cuiva, ca semn al slujirii mai este inca foarte raspandit astazi, in Orientul Apropiat. Apa este rara in cele mai multe tari si nu poate fi risipita. Inainte ca masa sa fie servita intr-un cort de beduin sau in satele in care nu exista nici un sistem comunitar de aprovizionare cu apa, un serv va pune un lighean in fata stapanului sau si a oaspetilor. Ei vor lua o bucata de sapun si vor tine mainile peste lighean. Apoi se toarna peste mainile lor un fir subtire de apa, dintr-un ulcior sau vas de metal care seamana cu un ceainic. In felul acesta se spala mainile inainte de a lua masa – fara a se folosi de linguri sau furculite. Cel care toarna apa este intotdeauna un serv, iar nu barbatul onorat. |

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).
