Teuteu ki he Mileniume ko Ia ʻOku ʻAongá!
KO E Pule Taʻu ʻe Taha Afe ʻa Kalaisí te ne ʻomai ʻa e ngaahi tāpuaki taʻefaʻalaua ki he fāmili ʻo e tangatá. ʻI he malumalu ʻo e tataki anga-ʻofa ʻa Sīsuú, ʻe hiki hake ai ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá mei hono tuʻunga ololalo lolotongá ki he haohaoa lāngilangiʻia. Fakakaukau atu ki he meʻa ʻe lava ke ʻuhinga kiate koé. Ko e moʻui lelei longomoʻui! Fakaʻuta atu ki he ʻā hake he pongipongi taki taha ʻo ongoʻi lelei ange ʻi he ʻaho ki muʻá. ʻOku fakaʻutoʻuta atu ʻa e laui miliona ʻo e kau tangata, kau fefine, mo e fānau ke moʻui lolotonga ʻa e taimi fiefia ko iá. ʻOku nau fakatuʻotuʻa ki ai, ʻo lotu ki ai. Ko ʻenau ako ʻo e Tohitapú kuó ne fakatuipauʻi kinautolu ko e ngaahi tāpuakí ni ʻe lava ke hoko ia ko ʻenau meʻa ke nau fiefia ai.
Kae kehe, ki muʻa ke ne kamata ʻa ʻene Pule Taʻu ʻe Taha Afé, kuo pau ke toʻo ʻe Sīsū Kalaisi mei he māmaní ʻa e faʻahinga kotoa ʻoku nau fakafepakiʻi ʻa ʻene tuʻunga-pulé. Te ne fai eni ʻi he tau ʻoku ui ko ʻĀmaketoné ʻi he Tohitapú. (Fakahā 16:16) Ko e kau Kalisitiane moʻoni ʻi he māmaní ʻe ʻikai te nau faitau ʻi he tau ko iá. Ko e tau ia ʻa e ʻOtuá. Pea ʻe ʻikai ke ngata pē ia ʻi ha feituʻu fakaesiokālafi ʻe taha. ʻOku pehē ʻe he Tohitapú ʻe aʻu ia ki he ngaahi tuliki mamaʻo taha ʻo e māmaní. Ko e ngaahi fili ʻo e tuʻunga-pule ʻo Kalaisí ʻe tāmateʻi. ʻE ʻikai ha taha ʻo kinautolu ʻe hao!—Selemaia 25:33.
ʻE toki fakahanga mai leva ʻa e tokanga ʻa Sīsuú kia Sētane ko e Tēvoló pea mo ʻene kau tēmenioó. Sioloto atu ki he feituʻú, hangē ko e sio ki ai ʻa e tokotaha-tohi ʻo e tohi ʻa Fakahaá: “Pea u vakai ha angelo [ko Sīsū Kalaisi] ʻoku ʻalu hifo mei he langi, ʻoku ʻiate ia ʻa e kī ʻo e Luo Taʻehanotakele, pea ʻoku ne toʻo ha fuʻu seini. Pea ne puke ʻa e Talakoni, ʻa e Ngata ʻo onoʻaho, ʻa ia ko e Tevolo foki mo Setane, pea ne haʻi ia ke ʻosi ha taʻu ʻe afe.” (Fakahā 20:1, 2) Ki mui ai, ʻe fakaʻauha taʻengata ʻa Sētane mo ʻene kau tēmenioó.—Mātiu 25:41.
“Ko e fuʻu kakai lahi, ʻa ia ʻe ʻikai lava ʻe ha taha hono lau,” te nau hao ʻi ʻĀmaketoné. (Fakahā 7:9) ʻE tataki ʻe Kalaisi ʻa e faʻahingá ni ke nau maʻu ʻaonga kakato mei he “ngaahi matavai ʻo e Vaiola,” ʻo hangē pē ko hono tataki ʻe ha tauhi-sipi ʻa ʻene fanga sipí ki he ngaahi vai fakahaofi moʻuí. (Fakahā 7:17) ʻI he ʻikai taʻofi ʻenau fakalakalaka fakalaumālié ʻe Sētane mo ʻene kau tēmenioó, ko e kau hao ko eni ʻi ʻĀmaketoné ʻe tokoniʻi māmālie ke nau ikuʻi ʻenau ngaahi hehema angahalaʻiá kae ʻoua kuo faifai atu pē ʻo nau aʻusia ʻa e haohaoá!
ʻI he malumalu ʻo e tuʻunga-pule anga-ʻofa ʻa Kalaisí, ʻe fakaleleiʻi pau ʻa e ngaahi tuʻunga ʻo e moʻuí. Ko Sihova ko e ʻOtuá, fakafou ʻia Sīsū Kalaisi, te ne fakangata ʻa e ngaahi tupuʻanga kotoa pē ʻo e ongosiá mo e faingataʻá. Te ne “holoholo ʻa e loʻimata kotoa pē mei honau mata; pea ʻe ʻikai toe ai ha mate, pea ʻe ʻikai toe ai ha mamahi, pe ha tangi, pe ha ongosia.” (Fakahā 21:4) ʻOku fakakakato ʻe he palōfita ko ʻAiseá ʻa e fakatātaá, ʻi heʻene pehē: “ʻE toki fakaava ʻa e mata ʻo e kui, pea toʻo ʻa e telinga ʻo e tuli. Toki hopo ʻa e heke hange ha tia, pea hiki mavava ʻa e ʻelelo ʻo e noa.” (Aisea 35:5, 6) Pea ko e kau maté, “ʻa e lalahi mo e iki,” te nau toe foki ki he moʻuí fakataha mo e ʻamanaki ʻo e ʻikai ʻaupito ke toe mate!—Fakahā 20:12.
Naʻa mo e taimí ni, ko e “fuʻu kakai lahi” ko ia ʻe hao ʻi ʻĀmaketoné ʻoku fakatahatahaʻi. ʻOku nau teuteu ki he Pule Mileniume ʻa Kalaisí. Neongo ʻoku ʻikai te nau ʻilo ʻa e taimi ʻe kamata ai ʻa e pule ko iá, ʻoku nau falala pau ʻi he taimi kotofa ʻa e ʻOtuá, ʻe fakahoko mai ai ia. ʻE lava ke ke ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo kinautolú, ka ko koe foki kuo pau ke ke mateuteu—ʻikai ʻaki hono fakatau atu hoʻo ngaahi koloá mo fononga ki ha feituʻu fakaesiokālafi, ka ʻi hono maʻu ʻa e ʻilo totonu ʻo Sihova ko e ʻOtuá mo ʻene ngaahi taumuʻá fakafou ʻi hano ako ʻo e Tohitapú. ʻI he ʻikai ha totongi pe fatongiá, ʻe fakahaaʻi fiefia atu kiate koe ʻe he Kau Fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihová ʻa e anga ʻo e lava ke ʻaonga kiate koe mo ho fāmilí hano ako ʻo e Tohitapú. Ko e kau faipulusi ʻo e makasini ko ení te nau fiefia ke tokonaki mai ha fakamatala lahi ange.

Ko e Ngaahi Taʻu ʻe Taha Afé—Totonu pe Fakaefakatātā?
Koeʻuhi ko e lahi taha ʻo e tohi faka-Tohitapu ʻa Fakahaá naʻe tohi ia ʻi he lea fakaefakatātā, ʻoku malanga hake ai ha fehuʻi. Fēfē ʻa e Pule Taʻu ʻe Taha Afe ʻa Kalaisi naʻe lave ki ai ʻi he Fakahaá? Ko ha vahaʻa taimi totonu ia pe ko ha tuʻu fakaefakatātā?
ʻOku fakahaaʻi kotoa ko ha vahaʻa taimi taʻu ʻe taha afe totonú ʻoku ʻuhinga ki ai. Fakakaukau angé: ʻOku lave ʻa e ʻapositolo ko Paulá ki he Pule Taʻu ʻe Taha Afe ʻa Kalaisí, lolotonga ia hono fakamāuʻi ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá, ko ha ʻaho. (Ngāue 17:31; Fakahā 20:4) Naʻe tohi ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Pitá ko e ʻaho ʻe tahá (houa ʻe 24) kia Sihová ko ha taʻu ia ʻe taha afe. (2 Pita 3:8) ʻE ʻuhinga iá ko e “ʻaho” fakamaau ko ení ko ha taʻu totonu ia ʻe taha afe ʻa hono lōloá. ʻI he tānaki atu ki aí, ʻi he Fakahā 20:3, 5-7, ʻoku tau lau tuʻo fā kehekehe ai, ʻikai ki “ha taʻu ʻe taha afe,” ka ko e “ʻa e taʻu ʻe taha afe.” ʻE hā ngali ʻoku fakahaaʻi ʻe he meʻá ni ha vahaʻa taimi lōloa pau.
