16:1 Care spun ca intunericul este lumina 16:2 Si lumina intuneric, 16:3 Care dau amaraciune in loc de dulceata 16:4 Si dulceata in loc de amaraciune! 16:5 Vai de cei 16:6 Ce se socot intelepti, 16:7 Si se cred priceputi! 16:8 De aceea, cum mistuie o limba de foc miristea, 16:9 Si cum arde flacara iarba uscata, 16:10 Tot asa: ca putregaiul le va fi radacina lor, 16:11 Si floarea li se va risipi in vant ca tarana. 16:12 Caci au nesocotit Legea Domnului ostirilor, 16:13 Si au dispretuit Cuvantul Sfantului lui Israel." 16:14 Is. 5,7.11-13.20.21.24 16:15 "SCRISE PENTRU INVATATURA NOASTRA" 16:16 "Aceste lucruri au fost scrise pentru invatatura noastra, peste care au venit sfarsiturile veacurilor." (1 Cor.10,11). Avertizarea ni se transmite din generatie in generatie si a ajuns in zilele noastre: "Luati seama dar, fratilor, ca nici unul dintre voi sa n-aiba o inima rea si necredincioasa, care sa va desparta de Dumnezeul cel viu. Ci indemnati-va unii pe altii in fiecare zi, cata vreme se zice: 16:17 Astazi, daca auziti glasul Lui, 16:18 Nu va impietriti inimile, ca in ziua razvratirii. 16:19 Cine au fost, in adevar, cei ce s-au razvratit dupa ce auzisera? N-au fost toti aceia care iesisera din Egipt prin Moise?" (Evr. 3,12-16) Nu putem noi, cei care traim in timpul sfarsitului, sa ne dam seama de importanta cuvintelor apostolului: "Luati seama dar, fratilor, ca nici unul dintre voi sa n-aiba o inima rea si necredincioasa, care sa va desparta de Dumnezeul cel viu"? (Evr.3,12) 16:20 Asupra noastra straluceste lumina acumulata a vremurilor trecute. Raportul despre uitarea neglijenta a lui Israel a fost pastrat pentru luminarea noastra. In zilele noastre, Dumnezeu Si-a intins mana pentru a aduna la Sine un popor din fiecare neam, semintie si limba. In miscarea adventa, El a lucrat pentru mostenirea Sa, asa cum a lucrat pentru izraeliti atunci cand i-a scos din Egipt. In marea dezamagire de la 1844, credinta poporului Sau a fost pusa la incercare, asa cum a fost pusa la incercare credinta evreilor la Marea Rosie. Daca 16:21 ar fi continuat sa se increada in Mana calauzitoare, care ii insotise in experienta lor trecuta, adventistii din primele zile ar fi putut sa vada mantuirea lui Dumnezeu. Daca toti aceia care activau uniti in lucrarea de la 1844 ar fi primit solia ingerului al treilea si ar fi proclamat-o in puterea Duhului Sfant, Domnul ar fi lucrat cu putere impreuna cu eforturile lor. Un potop de lumina s-ar fi revarsat asupra lumii. Cu ani de zile mai inainte, locuitorii pamantului ar fi fost avertizati, lucrarea de incheiere ar fi fost dusa la capat si Hristos ar fi venit pentru a-Si rascumpara poporul. 16:22 SOLIA PENTRU ZILELE NOASTRE 16:23 Am fost instruita sa adresez cuvinte de avertizare pentru fratii si surorile noastre care sunt in primejdia de a pierde din vedere lucrarea speciala pentru timpul prezent. Domnul ne-a facut depozitari ai adevarului sacru. Noi trebuie sa ne ridicam si sa luminam. In fiecare tara, trebuie sa vestim a doua venire a lui Hristos, in graiul descoperitorului care proclama: "Iata ca El vine pe nori. Si orice ochi Il va vedea; si cei ce L-au strapuns. Si toate semintiile pamantului se vor boci din pricina Lui!" (Apoc.1,7) Ce facem noi? Vestim noi solia ingerului al treilea? "Apoi (dupa primul inger si al doilea), a urmat un alt inger, al treilea, si a zis cu glas tare: 'Daca se inchina cineva fiarei si icoanei ei, si primeste semnul ei pe frunte sau pe mana, va bea si el din vinul maniei lui Dumnezeu, turnat neamestecat in paharul maniei Lui; si va fi chinuit in foc si pucioasa, inaintea sfintilor ingeri si inaintea Mielului. Si fumul chinului lor se suie in vecii vecilor. Si nici ziua, nici noaptea n-au odihna cei ce se inchina fiarei si icoanei ei, si oricine primeste semnul 16:24 numelui ei! Aici este rabdarea sfintilor, care pazesc poruncile lui Dumnezeu si credinta lui Isus'." (Apoc.14,9-12) Poruncile lui Dumnezeu si marturia lui Isus sunt unite. Ele trebuie sa fie aratate clar lumii. 16:25 IMPOTRIVIREA VRAJMASULUI 16:26 In Cuvantul lui Dumnezeu, ne sunt aratate consecintele proclamarii soliei ingerului al treilea. "Si balaurul, maniat pe femeie, s-a dus sa faca razboi cu ramasita semintei ei, care pazesc poruncile lui Dumnezeu, si tin marturia lui Isus Hristos." (Apoc. 12,17). Refuzul de a asculta de poruncile lui Dumnezeu si hotararea de a cultiva ura impotriva celor care proclama poruncile conduc la cel mai indarjit razboi din partea balaurului, ale carui puteri sunt indreptate impotriva poporului lui Dumnezeu, pastrator al poruncilor. "A facut ca toti: mici si mari, bogati si saraci, slobozi si robi, sa primeasca un semn pe mana dreapta sau pe frunte, si nimeni sa nu poata cumpara sau vinde, fara sa aiba semnul acesta, adica numele fiarei, sau numarul numelui ei." (Apoc.13,16.17) Semnul sau sigiliul lui Dumnezeu este descoperit in tinerea Sabatului zilei a saptea, monumentul Domnului in amintirea creatiunii. "Domnul a vorbit lui Moise, si a zis: 'Vorbeste copiilor lui Israel si spune-le: Sa nu care cumva sa nu tineti abatele Mele, caci acesta va fi intre Mine si voi, si urmasii vostri, un semn dupa care se va cunoaste ca Eu sunt Domnul, care va sfintesc.'" (Exod 31,12.13) Aici, Sabatul este prezentat clar ca un semn intre Dumnezeu si poporul Sau. 16:27 Semnul fiarei este opusul acestuia - tinerea zilei intai a saptamanii. Semnul acesta ii deosebeste pe aceia care recunosc suprematia autoritatii papale, de aceia care recunosc doar autoritatea lui Dumnezeu. |

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.
