2:1 Prefata 2:2 In aceste vremuri schimbatoare este intr-adevar un lucru rar ca o carte sa se vanda timp de un secol, inregistrand o cerere mereu crescanda, si sa-si ocupe locul in lecturile curente alaturi de alte carti care trateaza subiecte contemporane. Acesta este insa cazul statisticii demne de invidiat al Scrierilor timpurii ale lui Ellen G. White. De-a lungul anilor, cartea a fost tiparita iarasi si iarasi, in mai multe editii. Ea apare acum in a cincia editie americana. 2:3 Acest mic volum, extrem de popular, poarta pe buna dreptate acest nume, fiind o republicare a primelor trei carti scrise de Ellen G. White - Viziunile si experienta crestina a lui E. G. White, carte publicata prima data in 1851; Supliment la Experiente si viziuni, scoasa de sub tipar in 1854 si Daruri Spirituale, volumul I, care a aparut in 1858. 2:4 Larga si durabila popularitate a Scrierilor timpurii poate fi atribuita dorintei nestramutate de a avea si de a studia soliile care ofera informatie si incurajare, solii care au venit la inceput in biserica prin darul profetiei. 2:5 A doua tiparire a acestui material s-a facut in 1882, in doua volume mai mici - Experiente si viziuni si Suplimentul fiind cuprinse in primul, iar Darurile spirituale in cel de-al doilea. Despre anumite mici adaugiri si schimbari editoriale, facute atunci, prefata editorului declara: 2:6 "Notele de subsol, care ofera date si explicatii, si un apendice care reda doua vise interesante, care au fost mentionate, dar nu relatate in lucrarea originala, vor spori valoarea acestei editii. In afara de acestea, nu au fost efectuate nici un fel de schimbari in editia de fata, exceptie facand doar folosirea ocazionala a unui cuvant nou sau schimbarea constructiei 2:7 unei fraze pentru a exprima mai bine ideea si nu a fost omis nici un fragment al lucrarii. Nici o umbra de schimbare nu a avut loc, in vreo idee sau sentiment, in lucrarea originala, iar modificarile textuale s-au facut chiar sub privirile autoarei si cu aprobarea ei nemijlocita." 2:8 Cele doua carti au fost, de asemenea, editate intr-un singur volum in 1882 sub titlul Scrieri timpurii. In 1906, materialul pentru tiparire a fost refacut pentru cea de-a treia editie americana, care s-a bucurat de o larga difuzare, satisfacand cererea tot mai mare. Paginarea acestei editii a devenit standardul pentru citarea sursei si, in consecinta, pentru indexurile scrierilor lui E. White, publicate ulterior. 2:9 Cea de-a patra editie a Scrierilor timpurii a fost publicata in 1945. Patruzeci de ani de tiparit si retiparit au dus la necesitatea refacerii placilor de tipar. Intrucat caracterul literelor a fost schimbat, continutul a fost pastrat pagina cu pagina pentru editiile care s-au succedat. S-au folosit ortografia moderna si formele curente de punctuatie si o noua prefata a trecut scurt in revista istoria cartii. 2:10 Aceasta a cincia editie este caracterizata printr-un prolog istoric, adaugat pentru a oferi cititorului o cunoastere a timpurilor si imprejurarilor descrise in diferitele pasaje ale cartii si prin mai multe note suplimentare, furnizate pentru a explica expresiile si situatiile nu atat de bine intelese acum, precum au fost intelese la momentul scrierii lor. Nu s-a efectuat nici o schimbare in textul conceput de E. G. White si nici in paginatia celei de-a patra editii, pe care a succedat-o editia de fata si care, in consecinta, se armonizeaza cu Indexul general al scrierilor lui E. G. White. 2:11 In Experiente si viziuni este prezentata prima schita biografica a lui E. White, trasand pe scurt experienta sa de-a lungul anilor 1840-1844. Apoi, urmeaza un numar de viziuni avute la inceput, dintre care multe au vazut prima data lumina tiparului pe foi volante sau in forma unor articole periodice. 2:12 Suplimentul explica anumite expresii din lucrarea de inceput, care fusesera intelese sau interpretate gresit, si da sfaturi suplimentare bisericii. Publicarea lui a urmat la un an de la prima brosura care purta titlul de Marturie pentru biserica. 2:13 Darurile spirituale, volumul I, fiind prima relatare publicata despre conflictul de veacuri dintre Hristos si ingerii Sai, pe de-o parte, si Satana si ingerii lui, pe de alta parte, sunt indragite pentru descrierile vii si forma lor compacta, atingand, dupa cum se poate observa, numai punctele mai proeminente. Aceasta descriere scurta a conflictului a fost mult dezvoltata in cele patru volume ale Spiritului profetiei, publicat intre anii 1870-1884. Dupa o larga difuzare, acest set, format din patru carti, a fost inlocuit de seria bine cunoscuta si citita pe scara larga, numita Conflictul veacurilor, care prezenta relatarea intr-o forma si mai detaliata, asa cum ii fusese prezentata lui E. White in multe viziuni. Desi aceste vo-lume cuprinzatoare - Patriarhi si profeti, Profeti si regi, Hristos, Lumina lumii, Faptele apostolilor si Tragedia veacurilor - prezinta istoria conflictului in forma lui completa, scrierea initiala a acestor relatari, asa cum este prezentata aici, in forma ei scurta, directa si simpla, ca Experiente si viziuni, va fi intotdeauna foarte cautata. 2:14 ADMINISTRATORII PUBLICATIILOR LUI ELLEN G.

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).
