Printable ModeExod 4:21
|
4:21 Domnul a zis lui Moise: Plecand ca sa te intorci in Egipt, vezi, toate minunile pe care ti le pun in mana, sa le faci inaintea lui Faraon. Eu ii voi impietri inima, si nu va lasa pe popor sa plece. Toate minunile. Dumnezeu i s-a aratat inca o data lui Moise, fie inainte de a pleca din Madian, fie pe drum spre Egipt. Cu ocazia aceasta, Dumnezeu ii impartaseste lui Moise informatii cu privire la ce trebuie sa se astepte in Egipt. Expresia ,,toate minunile” nu se refera numai la cele trei semne amintite in v.2-9, ci la toate minunile pe care avea sa le faca in fata lui Faraon. Ii voi impietri inima. In parabola lui Hristos despre semanator si samanta nu era nici o deosebire intre samanta semanata intr-un fel de pamant si cea semanata in altele, si nici in felul in care a fost semanata. Totul a depins de primirea facuta semintei de fiecare fel de pamant. Tot asa, impietrirea inimii lui Faraon in nici un caz nu era un act al lui Dumnezeu, ci mai degraba o alegere deliberata din partea lui (vezi PP 268). Prin avertizari si manifestari repetate ale puterii divine, Dumnezeu a trimis lumina destinata sa arate lui Faraon greseala cailor lui, sa inmoaie si sa-i supuna inima si sa-l faca sa colaboreze cu vointa Sa (DA 322). Dar fiecare manifestare succesiva a puterii divine l-a facut mai hotarat sa procedeze dupa cum i-a placut. Refuzand sa fie corectat, a dispretuit si lepadat lumina, pana ce a devenit insensibil fata de ea si, in cele din urma, lumina a fost retrasa. Astfel ca propria rezistenta fata de lumina a fost ceea ce a impietrit inima lui. Chiar si paganii au recunoscut faptul ca Faraon si egiptenii insisi au fost aceia care si-au impietrit inimile, iar nu Dumnezeu (1 Samuel 6,6). Comentatorii se deosebesc mult in intelegerea lor despre impietrirea inimii lui Faraon, atribuita aici lui Dumnezeu. Exista in total zece astfel de declaratii. Opt dintre ele (Exod 4,21; 9,12; 10,20, 27; 11,10; 14,4.8.17) folosesc cuvantul chazaq, care inseamna ca Domnul va face inima lui Faraon ,,ferma”, asa incat ea nu se va misca, si ca simtamintele lui fata de Israel nu se vor schimba. In cap. 7,3, este folosit un alt cuvant ebraic, qazhah, care inseamna ca Dumnezeu va face inima lui Faraon ,,tare” sau ,,nesimtitoare”. In cap. 10,1 este folosit un al treilea cuvant, kabed, care inseamna ca Dumnezeu facuse inima lui Faraon ,,grea” sau insensibila la influenta divina. Faptul ca diferitele cuvinte sunt folosite mai mult sau mai putin alternativ rezulta clar dintr-un studiu al contextului. Exista de asemenea si zece declaratii care arata efectul, adica faptul ca Faraon si-a impietrit inima. Patru din ele (cap. 7,13, 22; 8,19; 9,35) folosesc cuvantul chazaq, “a face ferm”, cinci (cap. 7,14; 8,15, 32; 9,7, 34) cuvantul kabed, ,,a ingreuna”, si unul (cap. 13,15) cuvantul qazhah, “a intari”. Impietrirea inimii lui Faraon s-a evidentiat inainte de toate in faptul ca el n-a dat nici o atentie cererii Domnului de a lasa pe Israel sa plece. Refuzul lui n-a fost limitat la plagile pe care vrajitorii Egipteni au fost in stare sa le imite, ci le-a cuprins si pe acelea pe care vrajitorii insisi le-au recunoscut a fi ,,degetul lui Dumnezeu” (cap. 8,19). Ea a continuat si dupa plagile a patra si a cincia, care au cazut asupra egiptenilor, dar nu asupra izraelitilor, fapt despre care regele a fost informat (cap. 9,7). Impietrirea inimii lui a fost dovedita si mai clar cand a incalcat fagaduinta de a lasa pe Israel sa plece cu conditia ca Moise si Aaron sa indeparteze plaga si cand a fost obligat sa marturiseasca faptul ca pacatuise (cap. 9,27). Astfel ca, atunci cand i s-a spus lui Moise, inainte de a ajunge in Egipt, ca Domnul va impietri inima lui Faraon (cap. 4,21), Dumnezeu s-a referit la refuzul continuu al regelui de a-L asculta si de a-i elibera pe izraeliti. Dumnezeu nu are placere de suferinta si moartea celui rau, ci mai degraba doreste ca toti oamenii sa se pocaiasca si sa fie mantuiti (Ezechiel 33,11; 1 Timotei 2,4; 2 Petru 3,9), si face ca soarele Lui sa straluceasca peste cei rai si peste cei buni (Matei 5,54). Dupa cum soarele influenteaza diferite materiale in diferite feluri, dupa natura lor – de exemplu, topeste ceara si intareste lutul – tot asa si influenta Duhului lui Dumnezeu produce asupra inimii oamenilor efecte diferite dupa situatia lor. Pacatosul care se pocaieste ingaduie Duhului lui Dumnezeu sa-l conduca la transformare si mantuire, dar cel nepocait isi impietreste inima din ce in ce mai mult. Aceeasi manifestare a indurarii lui Dumnezeu conduce in cazul unuia la salvare si viata si in al celuilalt la judecata si moarte – fiecaruia dupa propria alegere. |

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).
