Printable ModeIeremia, 47
|
47:1 Iata cuvantul Domnului, spus prorocului Ieremia cu privire la Filisteni, inainte ca Faraon sa bata Gaza. Cuvantul Domnului. Vezi comentariul la cap. 46,1. Filisteni. Cei numiti filisteni, se gaseau in Palestina inca din vremea lui Avraam (vezi comentariul la Geneza 21,32; Iosua 13,2), dar ei au ajuns la putere in marea migratiune a popoarelor maritime cam pe la 1200 i.Hr. (vezi comentariul la Geneza 10,14 si Vol. II, p. 27, 33, 34, 47). Ei au fost printre principalii adversari ai primilor evrei, dar, dupa perioada de domnie a lui David, ei au jucat un rol mult mai putin important in istoria lui Israel. Faraon sa bata Gaza. Sau ,,Faraon a batut Gaza”. Informatiile istorice sunt prea putine pentru a identifica acest atac. Au fost diferite perioade care ar fi permis un astfel de asalt. El ar fi putut avea loc in perioada obscura dintre cele doua lupte din Carhcemis (608-604 i.Hr.), sau la retragerea lui Neco prin Palestina dupa a doua batalie dupa Carhcemis in 604 i.Hr., sau pe timpul invaziei lui Apries in 587 i.Hr. Singura imprejurare din timpul lui vietii lui Ieremia privitoare la un atac Egiptean asupra Gazei despre care este un raport istoric, este acela pomenit de Herodot in care Neco II dupa infrangerea suferita la Magdolus, forma greaca a lui Migdol, care inseamna ,,cetatuia / fortareata”. Locatia sa nu este cunoscuta. Herodot (II.159) zice: ,,Neco, ajungand la lupta cu sirienii pe uscat la Magdolus, i-a biruit, si dupa lupta a luat Cadytis, care este o mare cetate in Siria”. Numele ,,Siria” este folosit aici ca incluzand Palestina si ,,Cadytis” este in general considerata ca fiind Gaza. Daca aceasta este incadrarea corecta a profetiei, ea trebuie sa fie datata in 608 i.Hr., sau putin mai tarziu. Daca pe alta parte referirea lui Herodot nu este la Gaza, atunci trebuie admis faptul ca nu exista probe directe privitoare la data cand a avut loc acest atac. In vremurile biblice Gaza era cel mai important centru comercial al Palestinei. Ea se gaseste la capatul sudic al Campiei fertile al Palestinei, la punctul de intalnire a doua din principalele cai ale Palestinei. Aici drumul comercial din pustiul rasaritean – cu bogatia lui de fier si arama de la minele din Edom – se unea cu marele Derek hay-yam, sau ,,Calea Marii”, drumul de coasta mergand spre Nord de Egipt. Din cauza pozitiei ei pe acest traseu, cetatea era de mare insemnatate strategica. Egiptenii folosisera acest drum timp de aproape 1000 de ani in incursiunile lor obisnuite catre Palestina si Siria. In timpul Dinastiilor a XVIII-a si a XIX-a, cand Egiptenii au dominat peste mare parte din Palestina, Gaza a fost unul din centrele principale administrative. Cucerind Gaza, oricare faraon care invada Palestina, si-ar fi asigurat astfel un punct de unde sa domine linia tarmului, sa-si protejeze comunicatiile cu Egiptul, si sa controleze mare parte din comertul tarii. Faptul ca solia aceasta a fost data, ,,inainte ca Faraon sa bata Gaza” arata ca ea era o profetie de prezicere, o avertizare pentru filisteni cu privire la soarta care-i astepta. Compara solia lui Iona catre Ninive (Iona 3). 47:2 Asa vorbeste Domnul: Iata, se ridica niste ape de la miaza noapte, cresc ca un rau iesit din matca; ineaca tara si ce cuprinde ea, cetatea si locuitorii ei. Tipa oamenii, si se bocesc toti locuitorii tarii. De la miaza-noapte. Daca atacul egiptean a fost pornit de Neco la intoarcerea lui din Carhcemis in 608 i.Hr., (vezi comentariul la v. 1), sau la scurt timp dupa batalia de la Meghido, mai devreme in acelasi an, apropierea lui de Campia Filisteana ar fi fost de la Miaza-noapte. Unii au inteles v. 1 si 2 ca referindu-se la dominatia Palestinei de catre Babilonieni, mai serioasa si mai indelungata decat navalirile atat sub Neco cat si sub Apries. Atunci, v. 2-7 s-ar referi la invaziile Babiloniene. Conform acestei interpretari, v. 1 ar atrage atentia la faptul, ca inainte ca egiptenii sa fi atacat Gaza, Domnul deja avertizase pe filisteni de judecatile si mai mari, care urmau sa vina asupra lor din partea Babilonienilor. 47:3 de tropaitul copitelor cailor lui puternici, de uruitul carelor lui si de scartaitul rotilor; parintii nu se mai intorc spre copiii lor, atat le sunt de slabite mainile, Verset ce nu a fost comentat. 47:4 pentru ca vine ziua cand vor fi nimiciti toti Filistenii, si starpiti toti cei ce slujeau ca ajutoare Tirului si Sidonului. Caci Domnul va nimici pe Filisteni, ramasitele ostrovului Caftor. Tir si Sidon. Tirul si Sidonul dominau coasta la miaza-noapte de Campia Filisteana, si evident erau aliate cu filistenii. Tinutul Caftor. Literal, ,,insula Caftor”, adica Creta, de unde filistenii emigrasera cu ceva timp in urma (vezi comentariul la Geneza 10,14; vezi si Vol. II, p. 33, 34). 47:5 Gaza a ajuns plesuva, Ascalonul piere cu ramasita vailor lui! Pana cand iti vei face taieturi de jale in piele? Plesuva. Poate o referire la o distrugere a cetatii atat de completa, incat locul urma sa fie lasat ca o colina plesuva, sau tell (vezi comentariul la Iosua 11,13). Se poate ca profetul sa fi avut in minte ideea unei plesuvii ca semn al doliului, indeosebi in legatura cu intrebarea lui: ,,Pana cand iti vei face taieturi de jale?” Raderea capului si aplicarea de lovituri vatamatoare pe trup erau modalitati obisnuite de exprimare a mahnirii (vezi Ieremia 16,6; comp. Deuteronom 14,1) Ascalonul. O cetate filisteana de frunte, cam la 19,2 km la nord de Gaza pe soseaua de pe tarm. Vailor. Ebr. ‘emeq, mai degraba ,,o campie”, aici Campia Palestiniana. 47:6 Ah! Sabie a Domnului, cand te vei odihni odata? Intoarce-te in teaca, opreste-te si fii linistita! Cand te vei odihni odata? Profetul pune o intrebare retorica pentru a scoate in evidenta afirmatia lui din v. 7, conform careia Dumnezeu a randuit aceste judecati asupra filistenilor. 47:7 Dar cum ar putea sa se odihneasca? Cand Domnul doar ii porunceste, si o indreapta impotriva Ascalonului si coastei marii. Verset ce nu a fost comentat. |

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).
