Printable ModeFaptele Apostolilor 19:21
|
19:21 Dupa ce s-au petrecut aceste lucruri, Pavel si-a pus de gand sa se duca la Ierusalim, trecand prin Macedonia si Ahaia. Dupa ce voi merge acolo, isi zicea el, trebuie sa vad si Roma. Dupa ce s-au petrecut aceste lucruri. Fusese la Efes o mare recolta de suflete care intrasera in biserica. Prin intamplari impresionante, Dumnezeu Se amestecase in activitatile bisericii si ale cetatii. Cei care ,,crezusera” trecusera printr-o reforma. Avusese loc o spectaculoasa nimicire a uneltelor celui rau, atragand atentia intregii cetati. Lucrarea era acum bine intemeiata si Pavel a simtit ca putea parasi cetatea. Si-a pus in gand. [A planuit in duh, KJV.] In limba greaca, expresia este ambigua, ea poate insemna propriul duh al lui Pavel sau poate insemna ca Pavel a fost inspirat de catre Duhul Sfant sa-si puna in gand, asa cum a facut (vezi cap. 17,16). Prin Macedonia si Ahaia. Intaia epistola catre corinteni reda motivul gandului lui Pavel. Avusesera loc comunicari mai mult sau mai putin frecvente cu bisericile Macedoniei si Ahaiei, in decursul anilor petrecuti de Pavel la Efes, si el avea motiv de ingrijorare. Fusese necesar ca el sa scrie corintenilor o scrisoare care nu mai exista, avertizandu-i impotriva pacatului josnic al desfraului printre ei (1 Corinteni 5,9-11). Membrii casei lui Cloe adusesera vestea de schisme; mai erau vesti de grava dezordine si de lipsa de disciplina bisericeasca si chiar adulter incestuos (1 Corinteni 1,11 5,1; 11,18-22). Lucrurile acestea aveau nevoie de atentia personala a lui Pavel. De asemenea voia sa viziteze Ierusalimul din nou, pentru a aduce contributiile bisericilor dintre neamuri, credinciosilor crestini iudei aflati in nevoie, din Palestina (vezi 1 Corinteni 16,1; 2 Corinteni 8,1-4). Sa se duca la Ierusalim. Pentru a duce contributiile amintite mai sus. Pavel vorbise despre ,,fiarele din Efes” (1 Corinteni 15,32), despre ,,o usa mare si larga” care i se deschisese in Efes (1 Corinteni 6,9). Grelele tulburari prin care trecuse in cetatea aceasta erau fara indoiala atat usi ale ocaziei, cat si de amenintari cu moartea pentru Pavel. Acum putea sa plece, sa cerceteze bisericile din Grecia si apoi sa se duca la Ierusalim. Sa vad si Roma. Aceasta este prima dorinta exprimata a lui Pavel de a merge la Roma. Planuita lui vizita la Roma (vezi Romani 1,13; 15.23) arata ca el intretinuse dorinta aceasta de ani de zile, poate din timpul cand i se spusese ca urma sa fie apostolul Neamurilor (Fapte 22,23). Dorinta sa de a ajunge in capitala imperiului era fara indoiala intarita si de faptul ca avea un mare numar de prieteni la Roma, pe care ii cunoscuse prin alte parti (Romani 16,1-15). Lucrarea lui Pavel nu i se va fi parut deplina pana nu va fi dus marturia sa in marele centru al imperiului. Dar pana aici, nadejdile acestea fusesera neimplinite, asa ca declara cand era pe punctul de a parasi Efesul ca planuia precis sa mearga la Roma, cum si in Spania (Romani 15,28). |

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).
