Printable ModeIsaia 40:1
|
40:1 Mangaiati, mangaiati pe poporul Meu, zice Dumnezeul vostru. Mangaiati, mangaiati pe poporul Meu. Capitolul acesta incepe a treia si ultima sectiune a cartii lui Isaia. Pentru discutia asupra chestiunii asa numitei Deutero-Isaia, vezi p. 84-86. In multe privinte capitolele 40-66 constituie partea cea mai importanta a profetiei lui Isaia. Capitolele 1-35 constituie in mare masura o serie de avertizari impotriva abaterilor si pronuntari ale judecati care va veni. In capitolele 36-39 avem o relatare a intamplarilor legate de invazia lui Sanherib, boala si insanatosirea lui Ezechia, si vizita trimisilor babilonieni. In capitolele care urmeaza solia profetului este cu totul deosebita in ton si teama. Pronuntarea judecatilor si pedepselor se afla in cea mai mare parte in trecut, iar restul cartii se ocupa cu fagaduintele legate de revarsarea harului lui Dumnezeu asupra celor drepti. Mai ales capitolele 40-66 i-au adus lui Isaia numele de ,,profet evanghelist”. Aici, in limbajul cel mai sublim care s-a aflat vreodata pe buzele unui orator inspirat, Isaia infatiseaza viitorul stralucit al lui Israel ca ,,slujitor” credincios al lui Dumnezeu, eliberarea lui de orice dusman, venirea lui Mesia, si asezarea imparatiei mesianice. Mintea profetului anticipeaza un timp cand Dumnezeu va fi indurator fata de poporul Sau si ii va da binecuvantarile dreptatii si pacii. Sunt multe profetii cu privire la viitorul Mesia, caracterul si slujbele Lui, viata, lucrarea si moartea Lui pline de lepadare de Sine. Sunt imagini ale dezvoltarii bisericii si ale strangerii Neamurilor. De asemenea, sunt tablouri miscatoare ale pamantului readus la pacea si frumusetea edenica. De-a lungul acestei sectiuni Israel (adica, poporul lui Iuda, intrucat regatul nordic nu mai exista) apare ca poporul ales al lui Dumnezeu, ,,robul” Lui, ,,alesul” Lui in care El isi gaseste ,,placerea” (cap. 42,1, etc.). Primejdia din partea Asiriei, vrajmasul principal al lui Iuda din capitolele 1-39, era acum, cel putin cea mai mare parte, in trecut, iar prin profetul Isaia Dumnezeu Isi pregateste poporul pentru o nenorocire si mai mare – captivitate babiloniana peste o suta de ani. In noua sectiune incepand cu cap. 40, Dumnezeu il gaseste pe Israel descurajat din cauza esecului aparent al planului lui Dumnezeu pentru el, ca natiune, si il indeamna sa priveasca inainte prin credinta la perspectiva glorioasa care ii astepta la intoarcerea din captivitate (vezi p. 31,32). In cea dintai parte a cartii, Isaia vesteste o solie de mustrare; acum le prezinta una de mangaiere si nadejde. Sectiunea anterioara se ocupa mai ales cu nedreptatea poporului; aceasta cu dreptatea lui Dumnezeu. Capitolele 1-39 se ocupa mai ales cu succesul vrajmasului in a-l indeparta pe poporul lui Dumnezeu de idealurile sale; capitolele 40-66, cu succesul Domnului de a-l atrage inapoi pe Israel la pozitia lui ideala de lumina si speranta a lumii. Aici avem un tablou impresionant al lui Mesia ca Rob al lui Dumnezeu, si al oamenilor calcand pe urmele Sale si fiind martorii Sai. Aici avem tablouri sublime ale lui Dumnezeu ca nadejde a poporului Sau, si ale poporului Sau reintorcandu-se la El si ocupandu-si pozitia ca reprezentant al Sau pe pamant. Aici el este eliberat de sub puterea Babilonului, reocupa Tara Fagaduintei, iar pustietatile pamantului devin ,,ca gradina Domnului” (cap. 51,3). |

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).
