Printable ModeGeneza 1:5
|
1:5 Dumnezeu a numit lumina zi, iar intunericul l-a numit noapte. Astfel, a fost o seara, si apoi a fost o dimineata: aceasta a fost ziua intai. A numit lumina zi. Luminii si intunericului le sunt date nume. Punerea unui nume a fost intotdeauna un act important in antichitate. Numele aveau intelesul lor si erau alese cu grija. Ulterior, Dumnezeu l-a insarcinat pe Adam sa dea nume animalelor. Uneori, El a schimbat numele servilor Sai pentru a le face sa corespunda cu experienta vietii lor, sau cu caracterul lor. El le-a dat instructiuni parintilor pamantesti ai Fiului Sau cu privire la numele pe care urma sa-l dea Mantuitorului. In cursul saptamanii creatiunii, Il gasim pe Dumnezeu dand nume chiar si produselor fara de viata ale puterii Sale creatoare. A fost o seara, si apoi a fost o dimineata, aceasta a fost ziua intai. Literal, ,,seara a fost, dimineata a fost, ziua intai”. In felul acesta se incheie descrierea criptica a insemnarii zilei intai a saptamanii creatiunii lui Dumnezeu. Explicatii numeroase si diverse au fost date acestei afirmatii. Ea arata clar durata fiecareia dintre cele sapte parti ale saptamanii creatiunii si este repetata de inca cinci ori in capitolul acesta (versetele 8.13.19.23.31). Unii au gandit ca fiecare act creator a durat o noapte, de seara pana dimineata, iar altii ca fiecare zi a inceput cu dimineata, cu toate ca raportul inspirat declara clar ca seara a precedat dimineata. Multi cercetatori au luat expresia aceasta ca insemnand o perioada lunga si nedefinita, crezand ca unele dintre activitatile zilelor urmatoare, de exemplu, crearea plantelor si animalelor, nu ar fi putut fi indeplinite in cuprinsul unei zile literale. Ei cred ca afla o justificare a acestei interpretari in cuvintele lui Petru: ,,Pentru Domnul o zi este ca o mie de ani” (2 Petru 3,8). Faptul ca textul acesta nu poate fi folosit pentru a determina lungimea zilelor creatiunii este evident cand se citeste restul versetului, ,,si o mie de ani sunt ca o zi”. Contextul cuvintelor lui Petru lamureste ca el doreste sa sublinieze faptul ca Dumnezeu poate sa lucreze fara a fi legat de timp. Creatorul poate sa faca intr-o zi lucrarea unei mii de ani, iar o perioada de o mie de ani, un timp indelungat pentru aceia care asteapta sa se implineasca judecatile lui Dumnezeu, poate fi considerata de El ca numai o singura zi. Psalmul 90,4 contine aceeasi idee. Afirmatia literala: ,,seara a fost (cu orele urmatoare ale noptii), dimineata a fost (cu ceasurile care au urmat ale zilei), ziua intai” este in mod clar o descriere a unei zile astronomice, adica, o zi cu durata de 24 de ore. Ea este echivalentul compusului ebraic de mai tarziu ,,seara-dimineata” din Daniel 8,14, pe care KJV a tradus-o ,,zile”, aici insemnand zile profetice, si a cuvantului grecesc al lui Pavel, nuchthemeron, tradus ,,o noapte si o zi” (2 Corinteni 11,25). De aceea, evreii care nu au pus niciodata la indoiala intelesul acestei expresii, incepeau ziua la apus si o sfarseau la inceputul apusului urmator (Levitic 23,32; Deuteronom 16,6). In plus, limbajul poruncii a patra nu lasa nici o umbra de indoiala ca seara si dimineata raportului creatiunii sunt parti componente ale unei zile terestre. Porunca aceasta, referindu-se in cuvinte clare la saptamana creatiunii, declara: ,,Caci in sase zile a facut Domnul cerurile, pamantul si marea si tot ce este in ele, iar in ziua a saptea S-a odihnit” (Exod 20,11). Tenacitatea cu care atat de multi comentatori se agata de ideea ca zilele creatiunii au fost lungi perioade de timp, chiar mii de ani in cea mai mare parte, isi gaseste explicatia in faptul ca ei incearca sa faca raportul inspirat al creatiunii sa fie in acord cu teoria evolutiei. Geologii si biologii i-au invatat pe oameni sa creada ca aceasta istorie timpurie a pamantului cuprinde milioane de ani, in care formatiunile geologice se formau, iar speciile de vietuitoare evoluau intr-un ritm lent. Pretutindeni pe paginile sale sfinte, Biblia combate aceasta teorie a evolutiei. Credinta intr-o creatiune divina si instantanee, ca rezultat al cuvintelor rostite de Dumnezeu, sta in deplina opozitie fata de teoria sustinuta de majoritatea oamenilor de stiinta si de multi teologi de astazi, ca lumea si tot ce este in ea a ajuns la fiinta prin procesul lent al evolutiei care a durat ere nenumarate. Un alt motiv pentru care multi comentatori declara ca zilele creatiunii au fost lungi perioade de timp este ca ei leapada Sabatul zilei a saptea. Un comentator vestit exprima gandul acesta astfel: ,,Durata zilei a saptea in mod necesar determina lungimea celorlalte sase.... Odihna sabatica a lui Dumnezeu este inteleasa de cei mai buni interpreti ai Scripturii ca dainuind de la sfarsitul creatiunii pana in ceasul de fata, asa incat consecventa cere ca si cele sase zile anterioare sa fie considerate nu de scurta durata, ci de durata nedefinita” (Pulpit). Acest fel de rationament se misca intr-un cerc. Din cauza ca Sabatul zilei a saptea, atat de clar definit in Scriptura ca o zi de odihna care vine saptamanal este respins in felul acesta, despre ziua a saptea a saptamanii se declara ca a durat pana in timpul de fata. Pe temeiul acestei explicatii nebiblice, durata celorlalte zile ale creatiunii este si ea extinsa. Interpretarea sanatoasa nu are nici o simpatie fata de acest fel de rationament si insista in a da un inteles literal textului, urmand exemplul divinului Interpret al Cuvantului care a respins fiecare atac al vrasmasului declarand: ,,Sta scris” (Matei 4,4.7.10). Scripturile vorbesc clar despre sapte zile ale creatiunii (Exod 20,11) si nu de perioade de durate nedefinite. Suntem, asadar, obligati sa declaram sus si tare ca ziua intai a creatiunii, indicata de expresia in ebraica: ,,seara a fost, dimineata a fost, ziua intai”, a fost o zi de 24 de ore. |

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).
