Original Concept

The development of the world, especially in relation to the condition of the earth which includes nature and its environment, increases the time it experiences an increasingly dire situation. News about the occurrence of floods, smog that causes pollution, land damage and marine pollution due to uncontrolled plastic waste and garbage and various forms of environmental pollution have become news that is commonly heard and even tends to be considered wind. Earth's worsening conditions can no longer be underestimated. The condition of the earth will affect the continuity of human civilization in the future and the inevitable consequence is that today's humans are also responsible for the condition and health of the earth which will be passed on to their children and grandchildren. While on the other hand, religion, with its teachings that talk more about heaven, is accused of being the cause of all causes of damage due to human neglect of nature. This is where Ecotheology is expected to become a bridge to resolve this gap so that understanding of God and care for all of His creation are connected with the biblical explanation. This study aims to present the biblical idea of saving the earth and its contents, so that Christians can share responsibility for the management of the earth. As for the conclusion are: First, humans must return to the original concept of its formation, as guardians, preservers, managers of the earth with full power but not done arbitrarily. Second, saving the earth actually begins with a mandate for humans to protect their own race, the task of procreating and multiplying is the task of balancing the existing population, the task of balancing also includes being responsible for education for the next generations. Third, the laws in the Old Testament provide an important concept which until today can be a pattern for humans to care for the preservation of nature. Fourth, the concept of redemption carried out by Christ includes the restoration of the earth and everything in it and this restoration requires cooperation and awareness from humans to work for it.Perkembangan dunia, khususnya berhubungan dengan kondisi bumi yang meliputi alam dan lingkungannya, bertambah waktu mengalami keadaan yang semakin memprihatinkan. Berita tentang terjadinya banjir, kabut asap yang mengakibatkan polusi, kerusakan tanah dan pencemaran laut akibat limbah plastik dan sampah yang tak terkendali dan berbagai bentuk pencemaran-pencemaran lingkungan telah menjadi pemberitaan yang biasa didengar bahkan cenderung dianggap angin lalu. Kondisi bumi yang makin buruk ini tidak lagi bisa disepelekan. Keadaan bumi akan mempengaruhi kelangsungan peradaban manusia di masa depan dan konsekuensi yang tak dapat dielakkan adalah manusia jaman sekarang turut bertanggungjawab atas keadaan dan kesehatan bumi yang akan diwariskan kepada anak cucunya. Sementara di pihak lain, agama dengan ajarannya yang lebih banyak berbicara tentang surga, dituding menjadi penyebab segala pemicu kerusakan karena pengabaian manusia terhadap alam. Di sinilah Ekoteologi diharapkan menjadi jembatan untuk menyelesaikan kesenjangan tersebut sehingga pemahaman tentang Allah dan perawatan terhadap seluruh ciptaan-Nya terhubung dengan penjelasan Alkitab. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengemukakan gagasan Alkitab tentang penyelamatan bumi dan isinya, sehingga orang-orang Kristen ikut bertanggung jawab terhadap pengelolaan bumi. Adapun sebagai kesimpulan adalah: Pertama, manusia harus kembali kepada konsep awal pembentukannya, sebagai penjaga, pemelihara, pengelola bumi dengan kekuasaan yang penuh namun bukan dikerjakan dengan sewenang-wenang. Kedua, penyelamatan bumi justru diawali dengan mandat untuk manusia menjaga rasnya sendiri, tugas beranak cucu dan bertambah banyak adalah tugas untuk menyeimbangkan populasi yang ada, tugas menyeimbangkan juga meliputi tugas bertanggung jawab untuk pendidikan bagi generasi-generasi berikutnya. Ketiga, hukum-hukum dalam Perjanjian Lama memberikan konsep penting yang hingga hari ini dapat menjadi pola manusia untuk merawat kelestarian alam. Keempat, konsep penebusan yang dilakukan oleh Kristus mencakup pemulihan atas bumi dan segala isinya dan pemulihan tersebut memerlukan kerjasama dan kesadaran dari manusia untuk mengusahakannya.

La transposition profane de l’Exode dans Moïse fiction de Gilles Rozier

Jewish Writers

Throughout the centuries French and Francophone writers were relatively rarely inspired by the figure of Moses and the story of Exodus. However, since the second half of 20th c. the interest of the writers in this Old Testament story has been on the rise: by rewriting it they examine the question of identity dilemmas of contemporary men. One of the examples of this trend is Moïse Fiction, the 2001 novel by the French writer of Jewish origin, Gilles Rozier, analysed in the present article. The hypertextual techniques, which result in the proximisation of the figure of Moses to the reality of the contemporary reader, constitute literary profanation, but at the same time help place Rozier’s text in the Jewish tradition, in the spirit of talmudism understood as an exchange of views, commentaries, versions and additions related to the Torah. It is how the novel, a new “midrash”, avoids the simple antinomy of the concepts of the sacred and the profane. Rozier’s Moses, conscious of his complex identity, is simultaneously a Jew and an Egyptian, and faces, like many contemporary Jewish writers, language dilemmas, which constitute one of the major motifs analysed in the present article. Another key question is the ethics of the prophetism of the novelistic Moses, who seems to speak for contemporary people, doomed to in the world perceived as chaos unsupervised by an absolute being. Rozier’s agnostic Moses is a prophet not of God (who does not appear in the novel), but of humanism understood as the confrontation of a human being with the absurdity of his or her own finiteness, which produces compassion for the other, with whom the fate of a mortal is shared.

Abstrak. Seiring dengan bertambahnya jumlah penduduk dunia, selalu diiringi oleh masalah limbah yang berasal dari sampah, baik sampah organik maupun non organik. Berbagai usaha untuk mengatasi masalah limbah tersebut secara berkesinambungan terus dilakukan , baik itu sampah-sampah anorganik seperti, berbahan plastik, karet dan lain-lain. Bisa dimanfaatkan kembali melalui daur ulang menjadi barang-barang kebutuhan harian. Sedangkan untuk sampah organik selain dimanfaatkan untuk pupuk, juga dapat digunakan sebagai bahan dasar pengisi baterai untuk menghasilkan energi alternatif yang ramah lingkungan. Terkhususnya untuk pemanfaatan limbah organik dalam pembuatan baterai telah dilakukan dengan beda potensial tertinggi yang dihasilkan adalah 1,67 volt. Dalam penelitian ini dilakukan modifikasi massa bahan pengisi baterai yang bersumber dari kulit durian yang yang diproses khususnya melalui pengeringan menggunakan oven serta dicampur dengan asam dan ada juga kulit durian yang dijemur selama 7 hari dengan massa kulit durian 3, 5, dan 10. Beda potensial baterai tertinggi yang didapatkan adalah 10 gram yaitu sebesar 1,67 volt. Selanjutnya baterai dengan massa 10 gram difabrikasi dalam jumlah tertentu yang digunakan untuk menyalakan LED. Baterai tersebut dirangkai baik secara seri maupun paralel untuk menghasilkan beda potensial yang bervariasi. Abstract. Along with the growing number of the world populations, there always followed by troubles waste derived from trash, organic waste, and non-organic waste. Many attempts to deal with an organic waste such as plastic waste, rubber, and etc, has been continued, so those waste can be recycled and reused for daily demand. On the other hand, organic waste can be used as fertilizer, and basic material for the battery that results an environmental friendly alternative energy. Especially to utilize the organic waste, the making of battery has been done that yields highest voltage, 1.67 volts. This research aims to modify the mass filler of the battery that obtained from durian skin which is processed by mixing it with acid and drying it using oven, there also other technique by drying the durian skin under the sun for about 7 days which varied masses of 3 gram, 5 gram, and 10 gram. The highest voltage that obtained is 1.67 volt using 10 gram durian skin. Further, the battery with 10 grams durian skin is then fabricated in a specified number to light up the LED. This battery placed either in serial or parallel circuit to obtain varied voltage.

Biblical Texts

Violence is a crime condemned by religions, but religions in the world are apparently involved in some kind of violence. It has been considered problematic that some scriptural texts are showing violent acts that seem to be ‘authorised’ by God, even ‘allowed’ by God, or celebrated by the people. How should we understand such problematic texts? Is there any violence authorised by God? Christianity has been dealing with the interpretation of violent acts in biblical texts from the Old Testament as well as from the New Testament. This article suggests that violence in the biblical texts must be understood within the context of defining religious identity of Israel among the other nations that have their own gods. Scriptures do not promote violence, but has recorded the historical experiences of Israel in their confrontation with other nations. Therefore, violence in the biblical texts cannot be referred to as a sort of justification for any violent acts by religions in our multireligious and multiethnic society.

Jeremiah, long considered one of the most colorful of the ancient Israelite prophets, comes to life in Jack R. Lundbom’s Jeremiah 1-20. From his boyhood call to prophecy in 627 b.c.e., which Jeremiah tried to refuse, to his scathing judgments against the sins and hypocrisy of the people of Israel, Jeremiah charged through life with passion and emotion. He saw his fellow Israelites abandon their one true God, and witnessed the predictable outcome of their disregard for God’s word – their tragic fall to the Babylonians. The first book of a three-volume Anchor Bible commentary, Jack R. Lundbom’s eagerly awaited exegesis of Jeremiah investigates the opening twenty chapters of this Old Testament giant. With considerable skill and erudition, Lundbom leads modern readers through this prophet’s often mysterious oracles, judgments, and visions. He quickly dispels the notion that the life and words of a seventh-century b.c.e. Israelite prophet can have no relevance for the contemporary reader. Clearly, Jeremiah was every bit as concerned as we are with issues like terrorism, hypocrisy, environmental pollution, and social justice. This impressive work of scholarship, essential to any biblical studies curriculum, replaces John Bright’s landmark Anchor Bible commentary on Jeremiah. Like its predecessor, Jeremiah 1-20 draws on the best biblical scholarship to further our understanding of the weeping prophet and his message to the world.

The Trinity

In this paper I would like to discuss what the Old Testament has to say about the Christian doctrine of the Trinity. I take it as agreed that this task is both important and necessary for a real understanding of the New Testament, which by itself, is neither complete, meaningful nor self-authenticating. I do not make any claims to completeness on this crucial topic, but wish only to suggest what I feel are some important points for consideration. I want to discuss the three persons of the Trinity separately, beginning with the Father, then proceeding to the Holy Spirit and then to the Son. My remarks about the Father will be brief. I only wish to make the point that the Old Testament as well as the new Testament is fully aware of God's Fatherhood and alive to the reality that God loves mankind. It is clear that Israel has a special place as indicated by such passages as Exod. 4.22 where God addresses Israel saying: ‘Israel is my first born son.’ Yet at the same time it is basic to an understanding of Old Testament thought that God is the Father of the other nations of the world, though they are not the ‘first born’. This is a cardinal position of Old Testament theology and is based on the belief, given expression in Genesis, that all belongs to and was created by God.

The problem of waste is a common problem in the world, in the era of the Industrial Revolution 4.0, ready-to-eat food and beverage products resulted in piles of waste which resulted in environmental pollution. Waste that can damage the environment is waste that cannot be decomposed by nature. As a form of saving the earth to reduce the waste of plastic bottles and glass bottles, the younger generation should be able to use them such as pencil boxes, plastic flower vases, chairs, multipurpose storage places and bross. Meanwhile, waste glass bottles can be made into products such as miniatures, flower pots and home decorations. Permasalahan sampah menjadi masalah bersama didunia, pada era Revolusi Industri 4.0, produk makanan dan minuman kemasan siap saji mengakibatkan timbunan sampah yang mengakibatkan pencemaran lingkungan. Sampah yang dapat merusak lingkungan adalah sampah yang tidak dapat terurai oleh alam. Sebagai bentuk penyelamatan bumi mengurangi limbah botol plastik dan botol kaca, sebagai generasi muda harus dapat memanfaatkan seperti kotak pensil, vas bunga bunga dari plastik, kursi, tempat penyimpanan serbaga guna dan bross. Sedangkan limbah botol kaca dapat dibuat produk seperti miniatur, pot bunga dan hiasan rumah.

Metaphorical Extension

In the Zechariah, there are various visions and prophecies that are so difficult to be understood today. And this can be biased if every Bible’s learner interprets it as he pleases. In this research, which uses the Lexical Analysis approach, will discuss about the meaning of the words בָּרֹד and מֵֽהִתְיַצֵּ֖ב of In Zechariah 6:3-5. With in-depth observation and also making language comparisons, it can be concluded that: בָּרֹדin Zechariah 6:3 should be translated as dappled, a literal or concrete definition. Old Testament does not give any specific color with regard to the dappled. However, it seems that the color of horses in Zechariah 6:1-8 has a function to distinguish one chariot from the other chariots. יצבin Zechariah 6:5 should be interpreted in the sense of readiness to serve God, a metaphorical extension of the concrete definition, ‘to stand’. The four spirits are going forth after serving the Lord of all the earth in the heavens. It implies that the four spirits are belonged to God. In the heavens, they are serving God and when going to the earth, they carry God’s mission.

Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into the natural environment that causes adverse change. One of the greatest problem that the world is facing today is that of environment pollution, increasing with every passing year and causing grave and irreparable damage to the earth. Environmental pollution consists of five basic types of pollutants namely air, water, soil, noise and light. The solution of pollution is dilution. Environmental pollution can be controlled by recycling, reusing, waste management, mitigating, preventing and by making compost. Environmental management using modern technology seems to be effective in pollution control.

As you know, in many countries of the world, environmental pollution continues to increase, and researchers believe that the world is already on the eve of irreversible changes, that we are all at the last line. Nevertheless, many scientists substantiate a completely possible way out of the "ecological trap" if immediately, from the beginning of the XXI century, to deploy a planetary struggle to save the Earth for people. Scientific forecasting of the planned international environmental programs is of great importance.
