Printable ModeEzechiel 1:1
|
1:1 In al treizecilea an, in a cincea zi a lunii a patra, pe cand eram intre prinsii de razboi de la raul Chebar, s-au deschis cerurile, si am avut vedenii dumnezeiesti. Al treizecilea an. Cu exactitatea caracteristica unui istoric credincios, Ezechiel isi incepe dizertatia profetica printr-o datare ingrijita a evenimentelor despre care e vorba. Era al treizecilea an. Totusi el nu specifica evenimentul aparte care marcheaza inceputul acestei perioade. Multi cred ca el se refera la al 30-lea an al vietii lui. Varsta de 30 de ani era insemnata din privinta faptului ca la aceasta varsta tineretul evreu era considerat la varsta maturitatii. Acesta era anul in care Levitii de obicei isi incepeau serviciul la Templu (Numeri 4,3). In anul al XXX-lea sau in jurul acestui an, atat Domnul Isus cat si Ioan Botezatorul si-au inceput lucrarea lor publica (vezi Matei 3,1). Intrucat acest an, al 30-lea, este egalizat cu anul al V-lea al captivitatii lui Ioiachim, 593/592 (Ezechiel 1,2), intaiul an al celui de-al XXX-lea, ar fi 622/621, al XVIII-lea in al Regelui Iosia, un an extrem de semnificativ deoarece atunci a fost descoperita cartea legii in Templu (2Regi 22,3-8). Evenimentul acesta a marcat inceputul unei reforme care, daca ar fi fost continuata cu succes, ar fi contribuit mult ca sa se schimbe istoria viitoare a lui iuda. Este posibil ca Ezechiel sa fi avut in minte acest important incident cand a fixat al 30-lea an. Luna a patra. Numerotata de la luna de primavara Nisan, indiferent daca anul calendaristic era socotit din primavara sau din toamna (Vol. II, p. 108-110, 116). Luna a 4-a ar incepe in iunie sau iulie al nostru, 593 sau 592 (vezi comentariul la v. 2). Intre prinsii de razboi. Adica Ezechiel era in mijlocul unei regiuni unde erau colonizati captivii. Viziunea aceasta i-a fost data in particular si urma ca mai tarziu sa fie prezentata public (capitolul 3,1.4). Chebar. Raul acesta a fost identificat de catre comentatorii cei mai timpurii cu Habor, modernul Nahr el-Khábur in Mesopotamia de Nord. Dificultatea in ce priveste vederea aceasta era ca raul acesta nu era in ,,tara haldeilor” (versetul 3). Totusi, sapaturi recente facute la Nippur, in Babilonia insasi, au dezvelit dovezi ale unei colonii de Iudei in tinutul acela in aproximativ secolul al VII-lea pana in al V-lea i.Hr. Prin vecinatate curgea unui din marile canale babiloniene cunoscut ca Nôru Kahari care este probabil raul la care se refera Ezechiel aici. Vedeniile dumnezeiesti. Acestea erau nu numai vedenii date de Dumnezeu ci manifestari ale slavei divine pentru ochiul profetic. Astfel de revelatii sunt numite teofanii. Ele adesea insotesc chemarea unui profet. Astfel, Isaia tremura in fata descoperirii inspaimantatoare a tronului inalt si inaltat (Isaia 6,1); Moise a privit slava in tufisul care ardea (Exod 3,2); apostolul Ioan a vazut pe cineva ca Fiul omului umbland prin mijlocul sfesnicelor de aur (Apocalips 1,13). Care era scopul acestor aratari ale lui Dumnezeu? Ele pot fi privite ca mari introduceri prin care Dumnezeu initiaza pe profet intr-un nou domeniu de cunostinte si intelegere, o noua era de experiente, o noua faza de raspundere. In capacitatea lor de profeti, de la acesti soli se astepta sa vorbeasca plini de convingere cu privire la cele dumnezeiesti. Simplele lor presupuneri intelectuale nu ar fi avut valoare. Ei ar fi trebuit sa vorbeasca despre lucruri vazute efectiv. Era un avantaj pentru ei sa fie in stare sa spuna impreuna cu Isaia: ,,Am vazut cu ochii mei pe Imparatul, Domnul ostirilor” (Isaia 6,5). Atat de impresionat a fost Ezechiel de viziunea slavei divine incat el a notat timpul precis. Era ziua a 5-a a lunii a 4-a a anului al 5-lea al captivitatii lui Ioiachim (versetul 2). Crestinii fac bine daca noteaza si reamintesc adesea interventiile speciale ale Providentei divine si ale revelatiilor neobisnuite ale prezentei divine din experienta lor. |

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).
