|
32:1 Poporul, vazand ca Moise zaboveste sa se pogoare de pe munte, s-a strans in jurul lui Aaron, si i-a zis: Haide! fa-ne un dumnezeu care sa mearga inaintea noastra; caci Moise, omul acela care ne-a scos din tara Egiptului, nu stim ce s-a facut. Moise zaboveste. In timp ce Moise a intarziat mai multe saptamani pe munte, poporul i-a cerut lui Aaron sa le faca ,,dumnezei” (Deuteronom 9,9-12). Absenta prelungita a lui Moise i-a tulburat pe izraeliti si i-a facut sa fie nelinistiti si nerabdatori. Lor le lipsea credinta lui Moise si a parintilor lor, care ,,au ramas neclintiti, ca si cum ar fi vazut pe Cel ce este nevazut” (Evrei 11,27). Este demn de observat faptul ca aparenta intarziere a lui Moise a devenit o ocazie de alunecare a unora din poporul lui Dumnezeu (vezi Ezechiel 12,21-28; Habacuc 2,2-4; Matei 25,1-13). In mod asemanator, unii vor da gres in a fi gata pentru venirea Domnului, cand El se va arata ,,a doua oara” (vezi Evrei 9,28). Multi vor zice in ziua aceea: ,,Stapanul meu intarzie sa vina” si se vor deda la nelegiuire (Matei 24,45-51; Luca 12,37-48; 2 Petru 3,3-18). Izraelitii s-au temut ca acel conducator de care ajunsesera sa depinda ii parasise. Atata vreme cat il aveau pe Moise cu ei, ca sa-i incurajeze prin indemnurile lui si sa-i sustina prin exemplul lui, izraelitii reuseau sa pastreze o viata spirituala inalta, sa ,,umble prin credinta, nu prin vedere” (2 Corinteni 5,7). Cand el nu a mai fost prezent, s-a starnit o reactie, iar ,,firea” a triumfat asupra ,,duhului”. Desi din vale putea fi vazut norul intunecos in care intrase Moise cand se urcase impreuna cu Iosua si care statea pe varful muntelui, iluminat din cand in cand de fulgerele prezentei divine, totusi multora din tabara li s-a parut ca Moise ii parasise, ori fusese nimicit de focul distrugator. Era pregatita calea pentru o manifestare dureroasa a idolatriei. Aceasta experienta prezinta unul dintre acele contraste izbitoare asa de caracteristice in Biblie, asemenea celui in care, de exemplu, Domnul Hristos era proslavit pe muntele schimbarii la fata, in timp ce ucenicii din vale erau suparati si infranti (Matei 17,1-19). Aici, in timp ce Moise era pe munte, primind tablele Legii si indrumarile cu privire la adevarata inchinare si la slujba inalta si sfanta a marelui preot, poporul de jos savarsea un act de neascultare flagranta a Domnului. Paradoxal, poporul era condus in idolatrie chiar de omul chemat sa-I slujeasca Domnului. Lui Aaron. Daca fratele lui Moise ar fi avut o credinta si un caracter puternic, acest incident nefericit din istoria lui Israel ar fi putut fi evitat. Slabiciunea de caracter si spiritul de caracter al lui Aaron nu numai ca au facut conducerea lui spirituala sa fie ineficienta, ci l-au si asezat in pozitia de conducator al razvratirii. Fa-ne un Dumnezeu (dumnezei – in engleza, n.trad.). Deoarece sederea in Egipt ii obisnuise cu formele materiale ale zeitatilor, evreilor le era dificil sa se increada intr-un Dumnezeu invizibil. Desi termenul pentru ,,dumnezei” in limba ebraica este ’Elohim, adica forma la plural, unii cercetatori ai Bibliei afirma ca aici si in v.4, 8 si 31 cuvantul ,,dumnezei” trebuie sa fie tradus prin ,,un Dumnezeu”, considerand ca forma la plural este folosita intentionat spre a accentua faptul ca vitelul de aur era un dumnezeu fals, in contrast cu Domnul, adevaratul Dumnezeu. Sa mearga inaintea noastra. Obosit de atata asteptare la Sinai si dornic de a-si continua calatoria spre Tara Fagaduita, poporul a cerut un dumnezeu vizibil, care sa le inspire incredere si curaj (vezi 1 Samuel 3,3-8). Cat de bine ar fi fost daca ei ar fi folosit acest timp de asteptare pentru a medita la Legea lui Dumnezeu, pregatindu-si in felul acesta inima spre a primi si alte descoperiri de la El. Daca ar fi procedat asa, ei ar fi fost in stare sa se opuna acestei ispite. Spiritul de apostazie a fost generat in cea mai mare masura de ,,multimea de amestecatura”, care se asociase izraelitilor pentru a scapa de plagile Egiptului. Acesti oameni trebuie sa fie comparati cu ,,oamenii fara capatai” din Fapte 17,5. |

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).
