Printable ModeApocalipsa 20:1
|
20:1 Apoi am vazut pogorandu-se din cer un inger, care tinea in mana cheia Adancului si un lant mare. Am vazut. Evenimentele descrise in cap. 20 urmeaza imediat dupa cele descrise in cap. 19. Pogorandu-se. Ioan nu l-a vazut pe inger ajuns deja pe pamant, ci in timpul coborarii. In mana. Sau ,,pe mana”, probabil vrand sa spuna ca lantul atarna de pe mana ingerului. Cheia. Faptul ca un inger are in mana cheia arata ca Cerul are control deplin asupra evenimentelor. Balaurul nu va putea sa evite sa fie aruncat in Adanc. Adancului. Gr. abussos (vezi comentariul de la cap. 9,1). Aceasta viziune este simbolica. Adancul nu este o caverna subterana sau o prapastie undeva in univers. Ioan descrie tabloul profetic desfasurat inaintea ochilor sai uimiti. In viziune el a vazut o fantana reala, dar inchiderea balaurului in fantana, sau in adanc, era doar un mijloc simbolic de a arata ca activitatea acestuia va fi oprita. Lucrul acesta este lamurit prin declaratia care arata ca scopul inchiderii lui era ,,ca sa nu mai insele neamurile” (cap. 20,3). Cum se va pune stavila activitatii lui Satana reiese clar din context si din alte pasaje ale Scripturii, care arata ca pamantul va fi cu totul depopulat la a doua venire a Domnului Hristos. Conform cap. 19,19–21, nelegiuitii sunt cu totii nimiciti la a doua venire (vezi comentariul de acolo). In acelasi timp, dreptii vor fi ,,rapiti… in nori, ca sa intampine pe Domnul in vazduh” (1 Tesaloniceni 4.17). Vorbirea lui Pavel arata ca la a doua venire Domnul Hristos nu-Si asaza imparatia pe pamant; altminteri de ce i-ar mai lua pe sfinti de pe pamant? Stabilirea ei pe pamant va avea loc dupa incheierea mileniului, cand se va pogori Noul Ierusalim (Apocalipsa 21,1–3). Ca la a doua Sa venire Domnul Isus ii ia pe sfinti de pe pamant reiese din Ioan 14,1–3. Mangaindu-i pe ucenicii intristati din pricina plecarii Sale, El i-a anuntat ca Se duce la Tatal, unde urma sa le pregateasca locuinte. Apoi urma sa Se intoarca si sa-i ia, pentru a fi cu El. Compara cu Ioan 13,36; 17,24. Locuintele se afla, fara indoiala, in Noul Ierusalim, care nu va cobori pe acest pamant inainte de sfarsitul mileniului (vezi comentariul de la Apocalipsa 21,1–3). Din grupa celor care vor fi luati pentru a-L intampina pe Domnul in vazduh fac parte atat dreptii morti, care sunt inviati la a doua venire, cat si dreptii in viata, care sunt ,,schimbati” (1 Corinteni 15,51; 1 Tesaloniceni 4,16.17). Ceata sfintilor inviati ii cuprinde deci pe toti dreptii care au trait pe pamant. Sunt doar doua invieri principale: invierea ,,pentru viata” si invierea ,,pentru judecata”, sau ,,invierea vietii” si ,,invierea osandei” (traducerea Gala Galaction) (Ioan 5,29; Faptele Apostolilor 24,15). La aceste invieri ,,toti cei din morminte … vor iesi afara din ele” (Ioan 5,28.29). Unii sustin ca sintagma ,,morti in Hristos” (1 Tesaloniceni 4,16) face referire doar la crestinii care au murit si ca nu ii include si pe sfintii din Vechiul Testament. Dar textele de mai sus arata ca toti neprihanitii vor iesi afara la invierea celor drepti. Cuvintele ,,morti in Hristos” nu impun excluderea sfintilor din Vechiul Testament, deoarece ei au murit cu nadejdea unui Mesia viitor. Invierea lor depinde de invierea lui Hristos, deoarece ,,toti vor invia in Hristos” (1 Corinteni 15,22). Invierea celor drepti este numita ,,intaia inviere” (Apocalipsa 20,5.6). Cei care nu recunosc ca fagaduintele date vechiului Israel erau conditionate de ascultare au adus multa confuzie in doctrina cu privire la mileniu. Multe teorii fanteziste sunt prezentate de catre cei care incearca sa potriveasca implinirea acestor fagaduinte din vechime cu tabloul escatologic al Noului Testament. Asta depaseste ceea ce au vrut sa spuna scriitorii Noului Testament. Inspirati de Duhul lui Dumnezeu, ei prezinta un tablou logic al evenimentelor zilelor de pe urma. Ei arata cum evenimente care ar fi putut fi implinite in mod minunat daca natiunea iudaica ar fi acceptat destinul ei divin, vor avea implinire in cadrul bisericii din Noul Testament. Ei arata adevarata pozitie a iudeilor in timpul Noului Testament si nu acorda nici un loc special iudeilor ca natiune. Intr-una din parabolele Sale Isus a aratat lamurit ca atunci cand natiunea iudaica L-a lepadat, ,,imparatia lui Dumnezeu” a fost luata de la ei si ,,data unui neam, care va aduce roadele cuvenite” (vezi comentariul de la Matei 21,43). Acum Dumnezeu ii priveste pe iudei la fel cum le priveste pe neamuri (vezi comentariul de la Romani 11). Pentru un studiu amplu al rolului iudeilor in profetiile biblice, vezi Vol. III, pp. 25–38. O cercetare atenta a tuturor dovezilor arata ca iudeii ca natiune nu joaca nici un rol special in evenimentele milenare. Ca persoane individuale, cei care de-a lungul erei crestine L-au acceptat pe Isus Hristos sunt mantuiti ca membri ai bisericii crestine. Impreuna cu alti sfinti, ei vor invia la prima inviere si vor fi luati la cer. Cei care persista in a-L lepada pe Mesia vor invia la a doua inviere (vezi comentariul de la Apocalipsa 20,5). Luarea la cer a tuturor sfintilor si nimicirea tuturor nelegiuitilor in viata (vezi mai sus) lasa pamantul cu totul depopulat. Mai mult chiar, ingrozitoarele framantari ale naturii in timpul celor sapte plagi de pe urma (vezi comentariul de la cap. 16,18–21) lasa in urma pamantul extrem de pustiit. Trupuri moarte zac imprastiate pe suprafata acestuia (vezi comentariul de la cap. 19,17–21). Nu este rezonabil sa consideram ca abussos este un simbol al pamantului pustiit, unde va fi legat Satana in timpul mileniului. In LXX, la Genesa 1,2, abussos este traducerea cuvantului ebraic tehom, ,,adanc”, care face referire la suprafata pamantului asa cum era in prima zi a creatiunii, ,,pustiu si gol”. Lant. Un simbol al restrictiei impuse cuiva. Aici nu este prefigurata vreo inlantuire cu un lant real. |

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).
