55:1 Cap. 53 - Sanctuarul 55:2 Temelia si stalpul credintei advente a fost versetul din Daniel 8,14, mai presus de toate celelalte: "Pana vor trece doua mii trei sute de seri si dimineti; apoi sanctuarul va fi curatit." Aceste cuvinte erau bine cunoscute de toti cei ce credeau ca Domnul venea curand. Aceasta profetie a fost repetata cu bucurie de mii de oameni, ca lozinca a credintei lor. Toti simteau ca de evenimentele aduse astfel in atentie depindeau asteptarile lor cele mai stralucite si sperantele lor cele mai de pret. S-a aratat ca aceste zile profetice se terminau in toamna anului 1844. Ca si restul lumii crestine, adventistii credeau pe atunci ca pamantul, sau o parte a lui, era sanctuarul, iar curatirea sanctuarului nu putea sa insemne decat purificarea pamantului prin foc in mareata zi din urma. Ei intelegeau ca acest lucru va avea loc la a doua venire a Domnului Hristos. De aici au tras concluzia ca Hristos avea sa se intoarca pe pamant in anul 1844. 55:3 Dar timpul aratat a trecut si Hristos n-a venit. Credinciosii stiau ca nu se putea sa dea gres Cuvantul lui Dumnezeu; trebuie ca felul in care interpretasera ei profetia era gresit; dar unde era greseala? Multi s-au grabit sa taie nodul dificultatii negand ca perioada celor 2300 de zile se termina in anul 1844. Nu putea fi dat nici un motiv 55:4 pentru aceasta pozitie, decat faptul ca Hristos nu a venit la timpul asteptat. Ei argumentau ca, daca zilele profetice s-ar fi terminat in anul 1844, Hristos ar fi venit atunci sa curete sanctuarul, purificand pamantul prin foc; si ca, de vreme ce El n-a venit, nu se poate ca perioada sa se fi incheiat. 55:5 Desi majoritatea adventistilor a abandonat calculul perioadelor profetice facut anterior, si in consecinta a negat corectitudinea miscarii bazate pe el, cativa n-au vrut sa renunte la punctele de credinta si experienta care erau sustinute de Scripturi si de marturia speciala a Duhului lui Dumnezeu. Ei credeau ca adoptasera principii sanatoase de interpretare in studiul Scripturilor si ca era de datoria lor sa se tina tare de adevarurile deja castigate si sa urmeze in continuare aceeasi cale de cercetare a Bibliei. Cu rugaciune fierbinte, ei si-au revizuit pozitia si au studiat Scripturile ca sa-si descopere greseala. Neputand sa vada nici o eroare in explicatia perioadelor profetice, au fost condusi sa examineze mai indeaproape subiectul sanctuarului. 55:6 Sanctuarul pamantesc si sanctuarul ceresc 55:7 In investigatiile lor, au aflat ca sanctuarul pamantesc, construit de Moise la porunca lui Dumnezeu potrivit cu modelul ce i-a fost aratat pe munte, era "o asemanare pentru vremurile de acum, cand se aduc daruri si jertfe"; ca cele doua locuri sfinte ale sale erau "chipurile lucrurilor care sunt in ceruri"; ca Hristos, Marele nostru Preot, este "slujitor al locului prea sfant si al adevaratului cort, care a fost ridicat nu de om, ci de Domnul"; ca "Hristos n-a intrat intr-un locas de inchinare facut de mana omeneasca, dupa chipul adevaratului locas de inchinare, ci a intrat chiar in cer, ca sa Se infatiseze acum, pentru noi, 55:8 inaintea lui Dumnezeu." Evrei 9,9, 23; 8,2; 9,24. 55:9 Sanctuarul din cer, in care Domnul Isus slujeste in favoarea noastra, este marele original, iar sanctuarul construit de Moise era o copie a acestuia. Dupa cum sanctuarul de pe pamant avea doua incaperi, sfanta si sfanta sfintelor, exista doua locuri sfinte si in sanctuarul din cer. Chivotul ce continea legea lui Dumnezeu, altarul tamaierii si alte instrumente de slujire care se gaseau in sanctuarul pamantesc erau duplicate ale celor din sanctuarul de sus. Intr-o viziune sfanta, apostolului Ioan i s-a permis sa intre in cer si sa vada sfesnicul si altarul tamaierii si, cand "templul lui Dumnezeu, care este in cer, a fost deschis," a mai vazut si "chivotul legamantului Sau." Apocalipsa 4,5; 8,3; 11,19. 55:10 Cei care cautau adevarul au gasit dovezi incontestabile ale existentei unui sanctuar in cer. Moise a facut sanctuarul pamantesc dupa un model ce i-a fost aratat. Pavel a declarat ca acel model era adevaratul sanctuar care este in cer. (Evrei 8,2.5). Ioan a marturisit ca l-a vazut in cer. 55:11 La incheierea celor 2300 de zile, in anul 1844, pe pamant nu mai exista de multe secole nici un sanctuar; de aceea, sanctuarul din cer trebuie sa fie acela despre care se vorbeste in declaratia: "Pana vor trece 2300 de seri si dimineti; apoi sfantul locas va fi curatit." Dar cum poate sanctuarul ceresc sa aiba nevoie de curatire? Intorcandu-se iarasi la Scripturi, cercetatorii profetiei au aflat ca aceasta curatire nu insemna indepartarea impuritatilor fizice, deoarece trebuia facuta cu sange si, prin urmare, trebuie sa fie o curatire de pacat. Apostolul spune: "Dar, deoarece chipurile lucrurilor care sunt in ceruri au trebuit curatite in felul acesta [cu sangele animalelor], trebuia ca insesi lucrurile ceresti sa fie 55:12 curatite cu jertfe mai bune decat acestea [chiar sangele scump al lui Hristos]." Evrei 9,23. 55:13 Pentru a obtine o cunoastere mai profunda a curatirii despre care vorbeste profetia, a fost necesara intelegerea serviciului din sanctuarul ceresc. Acest lucru putea fi invatat numai din slujba sanctuarului pamantesc; deoarece Pavel declara ca preotii care slujeau acolo reprezentau "chipul si umbra lucrurilor ceresti." Evrei 8,5. 55:14 Curatirea sanctuarului 55:15 Dupa cum in vechime pacatele poporului erau transferate simbolic asupra sanctuarului pamantesc, prin sangele jertfei pentru pacat, si pacatele noastre sunt transferate, in fapt, asupra sanctuarului ceresc, prin sangele lui Hristos. Dupa cum curatirea tipica a celui pamantesc era indeplinita prin indepartarea pacatelor cu care fusese manjit, la fel si curatirea antitipica celui ceresc trebuie indeplinita prin indepartarea, sau stergerea, pacatelor inregistrate acolo. Aceasta necesita o examinare a cartilor de aducere aminte pentru a determina cine, prin cainta de pacat si credinta in Hristos, este indreptatit sa beneficieze de ispasirea Lui. Asadar, curatirea sanctuarului implica o judecata de cercetare. Aceasta lucrare trebuie indeplinita inainte de venirea lui Hristos ca sa-Si mantuiasca poporul, deoarece, atunci cand vine, rasplata Lui este cu El, ca sa dea fiecaruia dupa faptele lui. (Apocalipsa 22,11.) 55:16 Astfel, cei care au urmarit lumina crescanda a cuvantului profetic au vazut ca, in loc de a veni pe pamant la incheierea celor 2300 de zile, in anul 1844, Domnul Hristos a intrat in locul prea sfant al sanctuarului ceresc, in prezenta lui Dumnezeu pentru a indeplini lucrarea de incheiere a ispasirii, pregatitoare pentru venirea Lui. |

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).
