23:1 VISELE LUI ELLEN WHITE 23:2 [la care se face referire la pagina 12] 23:3 Am visat ca vad un templu catre care mergeau grupuri mari de oameni. La sfarsitul timpului, nu vor fi salvati decat aceia care se vor refugia in acel templu. Toti cei care vor ramane afara vor fi pierduti pentru totdeauna. Multimile de afara, care mergeau pe drumurile lor diverse, radeau si-i ridiculizau pe cei care intrau in templu si le spuneau ca acest plan, menit sa le ofere siguranta, era o amagire abila, ca, de fapt, nu exista nici o primejdie pe care sa fie nevoie s-o evite. Ba inca au mai pus mana si pe unii pentru a-i opri sa se grabeasca intre peretii adapostului. 23:4 Temandu-ma sa nu fiu luata in ras si batjocorita, m-am gandit ca ar fi cel mai bine sa astept pana ce multimea avea sa se risipeasca sau pana cand as fi putut intra fara a fi observata de ei. Numarul acestora crestea insa in loc sa scada si, temandu-ma sa nu ajung prea tarziu, mi-am parasit caminul in graba si mi-am croit drum prin multime. In nerabdarea mea de a ajunge la templu, 23:5 nu am bagat in seama si nici nu m-am ocupat de multimile care ma inconjurau. Intrand in cladire, am vazut ca templul acela peste masura de incapator se sprijinea pe un singur stalp imens si de acesta era legat un Miel groaznic de mutilat si sangerand. Parea ca noi, cei care eram prezenti, stiam ca acest Miel fusese sfasiat si zdrobit in locul nostru. Toti cei care intra in templu trebuie sa vina inaintea Lui si sa-si marturiseasca pacatele. 23:6 Chiar inaintea Mielului erau ridicate scaune pe care statea un grup de persoane care aratau foarte fericite. Lumina cerului parea sa straluceasca pe fetele lor, Il laudau pe Dumnezeu si cantau cantece de recunostinta voioasa, care pareau sa fie ca muzica ingerilor. Ei erau aceia care venisera inaintea Mielului, isi marturisisera pacatele, fusesera iertati si erau acum cuprinsi de asteptarea bucuroasa a unui fericit eveniment. 23:7 Chiar si dupa ce am intrat in cladire, asupra mea s-a coborat o teama si am fost cuprinsa de un simtamant de rusine ca trebuia sa ma umilesc inaintea acestor oameni. Dar paream silita sa merg inainte si inaintam incet in jurul stalpului pentru a ajunge in fata Mielului, cand a sunat o trambita, templul s-a zguduit, strigate de triumf au fost scoase de sfintii adunati, o lumina extrem de puternica a stralucit in cladire si apoi s-a lasat peste tot un intuneric adanc. Oamenii cei fericiti disparusera toti o data cu acea stralucire, iar eu am fost lasata singura in groaza tacuta a noptii. 23:8 M-am trezit intr-o agonie a mintii si abia m-am putut convinge ca visasem doar. Imi parea ca imi fusese pecetluita soarta, ca Duhul Domnului ma parasise, pentru a nu Se mai intoarce vreodata. Disperarea mea se adanci - daca asa ceva mai era cu putinta. 23:9 Curand dupa aceasta, am avut un alt vis. Parea ca ma aflam intr-o cumplita disperare, tinandu-mi fata in palme, gandind in felul acesta: Daca Isus ar fi pe pamant, m-as duce la El, m-as arunca la picioarele Sale si I-as spune 23:10 toate suferintele mele. El nu-Si va intoarce fata de la mine, ar avea mila de mine si L-as iubi si sluji mereu. Chiar atunci s-a deschis usa si a intrat o persoana cu un aspect si o infatisare mareata. S-a uitat cu mila la mine si a zis: "Vrei sa-L vezi pe Isus? Este aici si Il poti vedea, daca asta iti doresti. Ia cu tine tot ceea ce iti apartine si urmeaza-ma." 23:11 Am auzit aceste cuvinte cu o bucurie nespus de mare si mi-am adunat cu bucurie micile mele bunuri, toate nimicurile pe care le pretuiam si mi-am urmat calauza. El m-a dus la o scara abrupta si, dupa cum se vedea, fragila. Cand am inceput sa urc treptele, m-a avertizat sa-mi tin privirile atintite in sus, ca sa nu ametesc si sa cad. Multi altii care se angajasera in acea ascensiune abrupta au cazut inainte de a ajunge pana in varf. 23:12 In cele din urma, am ajuns la ultima treapta si am stat in picioare in fata usii. Aici calauza mea m-a invatat sa-mi las toate lucrurile pe care le adusesem cu mine. Le-am lasat jos cu voiosie; atunci a deschis usa si m-a indemnat sa intru. Intr-o clipa m-am aflat inaintea lui Isus. Nu m-as fi putut insela cu privire la acea infatisare mareata. O asemenea expresie, radiind de bunavointa si maretie, nu putea apartine altcuiva. Cand m-a privit, am stiut intr-o clipa ca El cunostea fiecare imprejurare din viata mea, toate gandurile si sentimentele mele. 23:13 Am incercat sa ma feresc de privirea Lui, neputand suporta ochii Sai scrutatori, dar El Se apropie cu un suras si, punandu-Si mana pe capul meu, a spus: "Nu te teme". Sunetul vocii Sale duioase mi-a umplut inima de o fericire pe care nu o mai simtise pana atunci. Eram prea bucuroasa pentru a scoate vreun cuvant, dar, coplesita de o fericire de nespus, m-am plecat in adorare la picioarele Lui. In timp ce stateam neajutorata acolo, au trecut pe dinaintea mea scene de frumusete si slava si simteam ca am atins starea de siguranta si pace a cerului. In cele 23:14 din urma, mi-am recapatat puterile si m-am ridicat in picioare. Ochii iubitori ai lui Isus erau inca asupra mea, iar zambetul Sau mi-a umplut sufletul cu bucurie. Prezenta Lui m-a umplut de un respect sfant si o iubire de nespus. 23:15 Acum calauza mea a deschis usa si am iesit amandoi. M-a indemnat sa-mi ridic iarasi toate lucrurile pe care le lasasem afara. Dupa ce am facut acest lucru, mi-a dat o funie verde stransa foarte bine in forma unui colac. M-a invatat s-o pun langa inima si, cand doream sa-L vad pe Isus, sa o scot din san si s-o intind complet. M-a avertizat sa n-o las sa ramana incolacita pentru mult timp, ca sa nu se incurce si sa fie apoi greu de descurcat. Am pus funia langa inima si am coborat cu voiosie scara ingusta, dand lauda Domnului si spunandu-le cu bucurie tuturor celor pe care-i intalneam unde Il pot gasi pe Isus. Acest vis mi-a dat speranta. Funia verde reprezenta, dupa parerea mea, credinta, iar frumusetea si simplitatea increderii in Dumnezeu au inceput sa-si reverse razele asupra sufletului meu, cuprins de intuneric. |

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).
Multilingual Online Ebooks
It is possible now to have the inspirational ebooks on your browser and to read it allowing you to make comparisons between different translations or versions for a specific language. This occasion is unique, and you have only to browse to the desired author and book.
