Printable ModeEvrei 4:3
|
4:3 Pe cand noi, fiindca am crezut, intram in odihna, despre care a vorbit El, cand a zis: Am jurat in mania Mea, ca nu vor intra in odihna Mea! Macar ca lucrarile Lui fusesera ispravite inca de la intemeierea lumii. Noi, fiindca am crezut. [,,Noi, care am crezut”, KJV]. Adica noi, crestinii, referindu-se mai ales la iudeii din biserica primara. Intram. Invitatia este inca valabila; asadar unii accepta chemarea si intra, prin credinta, in ,,odihna” Lui Dumnezeu. Odihna. [,,Odihna”, KJV]. Literal, ,,odihna”, insemnand exact aceeasi ,,odihna” la care s-a facut deja referire in cap. 3,11.18; 4,1 (vezi cap. 3,11). ,,Odihna” in care intra crestinii, inclusiv iudeii convertiti, este exact aceeasi ,,odihna” spirituala la care il chemase Dumnezeu pe vechiul Israel – ,,odihna” sufletului, care este rezultatul unei depline predari a vietii lui Hristos (compara cu Isaia 30,15; Ieremia 6,16; Matei 11,29). Cand a zis. Scriitorul tocmai a afirmat ca, unul cate unul, credinciosii crestini intra in aceeasi ,,odihna” spirituala in care a intentionat Dumnezeu sa intre israelitii, dar de la care ei, ca natiune, erau acum inlaturati. Incepand de la acest punct si continuand pana la v. 8 el subliniaza dovezile pe care isi bazeaza concluzia, o concluzie socanta pentru iudeii necrestini si poate o enigma pentru multi, daca nu pentru cei mai multi iudei convertiti. In v. 9 el incheie firul acestui rationament, reafirmand valabilitatea premizei sale majore, si anume ca intrarea in ,,odihna” lui Dumnezeu este posibila acum prin credinta crestina, asa cum pe vremuri era posibila prin iudaism. Firul argumentatiei din v. 3–8 poate fi rezumat dupa cum urmeaza: 1. Dumnezeu jurase ca poporul Israel nu va intra in ,,odihna” Sa. 1. 2. Cu toate acestea, ,,lucrarile lui Dumnezeu” – aici, scopul Sau pentru omenire – ,,fusesera ispravite inca de la intemeierea lumii”. La inceput Dumnezeu hotarase ca oamenii sa intre in ,,odihna” Sa. Astfel juramantul lui prin care il opreste pe Israel de la ,,odihna” fagaduita ar putea sa para, aparent, in conflict cu intentia Lui originala. Inseamna juramantul acesta ca Dumnezeu a anulat intentia Lui de la inceput? Sau urmareste El un obiectiv pana cand il realizeaza? 2. 3. Pentru a dovedi ca Dumnezeu Isi realizeaza scopurile, scriitorul atrage atentia la ,,lucrarile” creatiunii (v. 4). Dumnezeu a inceput sa creeze lumea si a dus la capat ,,lucrarile” creatiunii; odihna Sa in ziua a saptea marturiseste despre o creatiune terminata. Observati cuvintele ,,sfarsit” si ,,facuse” din Geneza 2,1–3 si accentul pus asupra incheierii lucrarii. 1. 4. In Evrei 4,5 juramantul lui Dumnezeu ca Israelul nu va intra in ,,odihna” Sa este repetat si pus alaturi de ideea din v. 4, ca Dumnezeu implineste ceea ce incepe sa faca, asa cum s-a intamplat la creatiune. 2. 5. O creatiune incheiata, asa cum este atestata de odihna lui Dumnezeu in ziua a saptea a saptamanii, e o dovada a imutabilitatii scopurilor lui Dumnezeu. Aceasta este premiza majora a lui Pavel. Premiza lui minora este faptul ca Dumnezeu intentionase ca poporul Sau sa intre in ,,odihna” Sa, dar ca ,,aceia carora li s-a vestit intai vestea buna n-au intrat in ea, din pricina neascultarii [,,necredintei”, KJV] lor”. Aceasta il duce la concluzia ca ,,ramane ca sa intre unii in odihna aceasta” (v. 6). 1. 6. Ca o dovada in plus pentru validitatea concluziei sale, in v. 7 autorul atrage din nou atentia asupra cuvintelor din Psalmi 95, sugerand ca esecul generatiilor mai timpurii n-a schimbat scopul original al lui Dumnezeu. Compara cu invitatia repetata la praznicul cel mare (vezi Luca 14,16–24). 2. 7. In v. 8, pe baza observatiei facute in v.7, autorul concluzioneaza ca, deoarece Dumnezeu a vorbit, pe vremea lui David, de o ,,alta zi” , inseamna ca, desi Iosua intr-adevar ii daduse lui Israel ,,odihna” in tara Canaan (vezi cap. 3,11), cu siguranta ca nu-i aduse la ,,odihna” spirituala de care Dumnezeu dorea ca ei sa se bucure. 3. 8. Din intregul sir de argumente prezentat in v. 3–8 scriitorul trage concluzia ca, fara indoiala, ,,ramane dar o odihna… pentru poporul lui Dumnezeu” (v. 9). Am jurat. [,,Cum am jurat”, KJV]. In greaca cuvintele acestea sunt identice cu cele din cap. 3,11, traduse tot ,,am jurat” [,,asadar am jurat”, KJV]. Mania. Vezi cap. 3,11. Nu vor intra. [,,Daca vor intra”, KJV]. In greaca propozitia aceasta este identica cu cea din cap. 3,11, tradusa la fel: ,,nu vor intra”. Odihna. Vezi cap. 3,11. Macar ca. Legatura dintre cele doua afirmatii astfel legate poate fi tradusa liber astfel: ,,In ciuda faptului ca planurile Sale pentru lumea aceasta au fost fixate la inceputul timpului, Dumnezeu Si-a revocat fagaduinta solemna pentru Israel, cu privire la ,,odihna” in tara fagaduita”. Astfel, se admite ca Dumnezeu nu Se schimba si ca Isi va realiza mai departe planurile pana la incheiere (vezi Vol. IV, p. 34; Maleahi 3,6). Aparent, imutabilitatea lui Dumnezeu si anularea fagaduintei date lui Israel sunt in conflict. Autorul lasa sa se inteleaga o incompatibilitate intre cele doua. Aceasta dilema aparenta este rezolvata in Evrei 4,4–8. Raspunsul este ca natura neschimbatoare a scopurilor lui Dumnezeu n-a fost afectata de anularea fagaduintei Sale fata de Israel. Concluzia este expusa in v. 6: ,,deci, … ramane ca sa intre unii in odihna aceasta” si in v. 9: ,,ramane dar o odihna… pentru poporul lui Dumnezeu”. Solutia dilemei dovedeste ceea ce deja s-a afirmat in v. 1–3: ca Dumnezeu ,,a … propovaduit” crestinilor ,,fagaduinta intrarii in odihna Lui”, numita in v. 2 ,,o veste buna” [,,Evanghelia”, KJV], asa cum facuse mai inainte pentru poporul Israel, si ca toti crestinii care cred intra cu adevarat in adevarata ,,odihna” spirituala a lui Dumnezeu. Lucrarile. Aici se face referire nu la ,,lucrarile” lumii naturale, ci la scopul si planul lui Dumnezeu pentru om, care a fost creat in saptamana creatiunii. Cu alte cuvinte, aici ,,lucrarile” creatiunii sunt scopul lui Dumnezeu la crearea acestui pamant si planul Lui pentru atingerea acelui scop. De fapt ,,lucrarile” materiale ale creatiunii erau subsidiare fata de scopul infinit la care ele erau menite sa contribuie. In v. 4 se face referire specifica la ,,lucrarile” materiale din saptamana creatiunii. Ispravite. Literal, ,,au devenit”, ,,au luat fiinta”, insemnand ca au fost ,,incheiate” sau ,,ispravite” atunci, deci nesupuse la schimbari ulterioare. Lumea materiala, asa cum a iesit din mainile Creatorului, era un produs perfect, complet (Geneza 1,31). In acelasi fel, legile fizice sau biologice care guverneaza lumea naturala au fost si ele ,,ispravite”, adica nu sunt supuse vreunei modificari sau schimbari. De pilda, gravitatia inca actioneaza asa cum a facut la inceput. Legea geneticii, pe baza careia fiecare planeta si fiecare animal se reproduce dupa felul sau (vezi Geneza 1,12), n-a fost niciodata revocata sau ameliorata. Rostul argumentatiei din Evrei 4,3.4 este de a demonstra ca scopul original al lui Dumnezeu pentru acest pamant, de a fi ,,odihna” sau ,,loc de locuit” (vezi cap. 3,11), pentru un neam de fiinte neprihanite si fericite, era o parte integrala a lucrarii saptamanii creatiunii. Intrarea pacatului in lume n-a anulat acest scop bun, intrucat planul mantuirii prevedea un mijloc prin care sa fie realizat, in ciuda pacatului. Astfel stand lucrurile, faptul ca ,,vestea buna” (v. 2) ,,nu le-a ajutat la nimic” (v. 2), si ca, drept urmare, Dumnezeu Si-a revocat fagaduinta pe care le-o daduse, nu putea sa schimbe scopul Sau ,,ca sa intre unii in odihna aceasta” (v. 6). De la intemeierea lumii. Adica de la creatiune. |

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).
