50:1 Cap. 48 - "Nici prin putere, nici prin tarie" 50:2 Indata, dupa vedenia lui Zaharia despre losua si Inger, proorocul a primit o solie cu privire la lucrarea lui Zorobabel: "Ingerul care vorbea cu mine", spune Zaharia, "s-a intors si m-a trezit ca pe un om pe care-l trezesti din somnul lui. El m-a intrebat: 'Ce vezi?' Eu am raspuns: 'M-am uitat si iata ca este un sfesnic cu totul de aur, si deasupra lui un vas cu untdelemn si pe el sapte candele, cu sapte tevi pentru candelele care sunt in varful sfesnicului. Si langa el sunt doi maslini, unul la dreapta vasului si altul la stanga lui.' Si, luand iarasi cuvantul, am zis Ingerului care vorbea cu mine: ' Ce inseamna lucrurile acestea, Domnul meu? Atunci, el a luat din nou cuvantul si mi-a zis: ' Acesta este Cuvantul Domnului catre Zorobabel, si suna astfel: Lucrul acesta nu se va face nici prin putere, nici prin tariei, ci prin Duhul Meu, zice Domnul ostirilor 50:3 Eu am luat cuvantul si i-am zis: 'Ce inseamna acesti doi maslini, la dreapta sfesnicului si 50:4 la stanga lui?' Am luat a doua oara cuvantul si i-am zis: 'Ce inseamna cele doua ramuri de maslini, care sunt langa cele doua tevi de aur, prin care curge uleiul auriu in el?' Si el a zis: ' Acestia sunt cei doi unsi care stau inaintea Domnului intregului pamant" (Zah. 4,1-6.11-14). 50:5 In aceasta vedenie, cei doi maslini care stau inaintea lui Dumnezeu sunt reprezentati ca varsand uleiul auriu prin tevi de aur in vasul sfesnicului. Din acesta, sunt alimentate candelele Sanctuarului, ca sa poata da lumina stralucitoare si permanenta. Astfel, de la unsii care stau in prezenta lui Dumnezeu, se da poporului Sau plinatatea luminii, a dragostei si a puterii divine, pentru ca la randul lor ei sa poata sa dea altora lumina, bucurie si inviorare. Cei care sunt imbogatiti in felul acesta, urmeaza sa-i imbogateasca pe altii cu comoara dragostei lui Dumnezeu. 50:6 In recladirea casei Domnului, Zorobabel lucrase, facand fata numeroaselor dificultati. Inca de la inceput, vrajmasii "slabisera mainile poporului lui Iuda si l-au infricosat ca sa-l impiedice sa zideasca ", "si i-au oprit cu sila si cu putere de la lucrarile lor" (Ezra 4,4.23). Dar Domnul intervenise in favoarea claditorilor, iar acum vorbea prin proorocul sau lui Zorobabel, zicand: "Cine esti tu munte mare, inaintea lui Zorobabel? Te vei preface intr-un loc ses. El va pune piatra cea mai insemnata in varful Templului, in mijlocul strigatelor de: 'Indurare, indurare cu ea" (Zah. 4,7). 50:7 De-a lungul istoriei poporului lui Dumnezeu, munti mari de greutati, in aparenta de netrecut, s-au ridicat in fata acelora care incercau sa aduca la indeplinire planurile 50:8 cerului. Asemenea piedici sunt ingaduite de Domnul ca incercare a credintei. Cand suntem inconjurati din toate partile, este timpul mai mult ca oricand sa ne incredem in Dumnezeu si in puterea Duhului Sau. Exercitarea unei credinte vii inseamna o crestere a puterii spirituale si dezvoltarea unei increderi neabatute. In felul aceasta, credinciosul devine o putere biruitoare. 50:9 In fata rugaciunii credintei, piedicile asezate de Satana de-a curmezisul caii crestinului vor disparea, deoarece puterile cerului ii vor veni in ajutor. "Nimic nu v-ar fi cu neputinta" (Mat. 17,20). 50:10 Calea lumii incepe cu ingamfare si fast. Calea lui Dumnezeu face din ziua lucrurilor mici inceputul unui triumf glorios al adevarului si neprihanirii. Uneori, El Isi educa lucratorii, ingaduind sa vina asupra lor descurajare si aparenta infrangere. Planul Sau este ca ei sa invete sa biruiasca greutatile. Adesea, oamenii sunt ispititi sa se clatine in fata piedicilor si nedumeririlor care ii confrunta. Dar, daca vor pastra pana la sfarsit increderea lor de la inceput, Dumnezeu le va lumina calea. Succesul va fi atins atunci cand ei vor lupta impotriva greutatilor. Inaintea spiritului intreprinzator si a credintei neclintite a lui Zorobabel, munti mari de greutati se vor preface intr-o campie, iar el, ale carui brate au pus temelia, "tot mainile lui o vor ispravi. El va pune piatra cea mai insemnata in varful Templului, in mijlocul strigatelor de: 'Indurare, Indurare cu ea" (Zah. 4,9.7).. 50:11 Puterea si taria omeneasca n-au intemeiat biserica lui Dumnezeu si nici nu o pot distruge. Nu pe stanca puterii omenesti, ci pe Hristos Isus Stanca 50:12 veacurilor a fost intemeiata biserica si "portile locuintei mortilor nu o vor birui" (Mat. 16,18).. Prezenta lui Dumnezeu da statornicie cauzei Sale. "Nu va incredeti in cei mari, in fiii oamenilor" (Ps. 146,3), este cuvantul dat noua. "In liniste si odihna va fi mantuirea voastra, in seninatate si incredere va fi taria voastra" (Isaia,30, 15). Lucrarea cea proslavita a lui Dumnezeu, intemeiata pe principiile vesnice ale dreptatii, nu se va narui niciodata. Ea va merge din putere in putere, "nu prin putere, nici prin tarie, ci prin Duhul Meu, zice Domnul ostirilor" (Zah. 4,6). Fagaduinta: "mainile lui Zorobabel au pus temelia acestei case si tot mainile lui o vor ispravi;' (Zah. 4,9) a fost implinita literal: "Si batranii iudeilor au zidit cu izbanda, dupa proorociile proorocului Hagai, si ale lui Zaharia, fiul lui ldo; au zidit si au ispravit, dupa porunca Dumnezeului lui Israel, si dupa porunca lui Cir, lui Dariu si lui Artaxerxe, imparatul Persilor. Casa a fost ispravita in ziua a treia a lunii Adar (luna a douasprezecea), in anul al saselea al domniei imparatului Dariu" (Ezra 6,14.15). 50:13 La scurta vreme dupa aceea, templul restatornicit a fost consacrat. "Copiii lui Israel, preotii si Levitii, si ceilalti fii ai robiei, au facut cu bucurie sfintirea acestei Case a lui Dumnezeu si au praznuit pastele in a patrusprezecea zi a lunii intai" (Ezra 6,16.17.19). 50:14 Templul al doilea nu a egalat pe primul in maretie, nici n-a fost sfintit prin acele dovezi vizibile ale prezentei divine, care apartinusera templului dintai. N-a fost 50:15 nici manifestarea puterii supranaturale, care sa marcheze consacrarea lui. N-a fost vazut nici un nor de slava, care sa umple sanctuarul nou inaltat. Nici foc din cer n-a coborat sa mistuie jertfa de pe altar. Sechina nu mai salasluia intre heruvimi in locul prea sfant; chivotul, tronul milei si tablele marturiei nu se mai gaseau acolo. Nici un semn din cer n-a descoperit preotului care se ruga vointa lui Iehova. 50:16 Si totusi, aceasta era cladirea despre care Domnul spusese prin proorocul Hagai:."Slava acestei Case din urma va fi mai mare decat a celei dintai... Voi clatina toate neamurile; Dorinta tuturor neamurilor va veni, si vor umple de slava Casa aceasta, zice Domnul ostirilor" (Hagai 2,9. 7). Timp de veacuri, barbati invatati s-au straduit sa arate cum s-a implinit fagaduinta lui Dumnezeu, data lui Hagai, dar multi au refuzat cu indaratnicie sa vada vreo insemnatate deosebita in venirea lui Isus din Nazaret, dorinta tuturor popoarelor, care, prin prezenta Sa personala, avea sa sfinteasca templul. Mandria si necredinta le-au orbit mintea fata de inseninatatea adevarata a cuvintelor proorocului. 50:17 Al doilea templul afost onorat nu prin norul slavei lui Iehova, ci prin prezenta Aceluia in care "locuieste trupeste toata plinatatea dumnezeirii" Insusi Dumnezeu "aratat in trup" (Col. 2,9; 1 Tim.3,16). Fiind onorat prin prezenta personala a luiHristos, in timpul slujirii Sale pamantesti, si numai prin aceasta, al doilea templu a intrecut pe primul In maretie."Dorinta tuturor popoarelor" venise cu adevarat in templul Sau cand "omul din Nazaret" dadea invatatura si vindeca in curtile sfinte. |

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.
