“ʻA e faʻahinga taʻetui mo angakehe, ʻe ngata ʻafē ʻeku feangai mo kimoutolu, mo ʻeku katakiʻi kimoutolu?”—LUKE 9:41.
1. (a) Ko e hā ʻoku fakahaaʻi ʻe hotau ngaahi taimi fakatuʻutāmakí? (e) Ko e hā ʻa e lau ʻa e Tohitapú ʻo kau ki he faʻahinga ʻe haó?
ʻOKU tau moʻui ʻi he ngaahi taimi fakatuʻutāmaki. Ko e ngaahi mofuike, ngaahi tāfea, ngaahi honge, mahaki, maumau-lao, ngaahi laku pomu, ngaahi tau fakalilifu—kuo lōmekina ʻe he ngaahi meʻá ni mo e toe ngaahi meʻa lahi ange, ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá ʻi he lolotonga hotau senituli 20 ní. Kae kehe, ko e fakatuʻutāmaki lahi taha ʻi he ngaahi meʻá ni kotoa ʻoku maluʻaki mai ia ʻi he kahaʻu ofi maí. Ko e hā ia? Ko e “mamahi lahi, ʻa ia kuo teʻeki hano tatau mei he kamataʻanga ʻo mamani ʻo aʻu mai ki he taimi ni, ʻoi, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito toe ʻi ai.” (Mātiu 24:21) Kae kehe, ʻe hanga atu nai ʻa e tokolahi ʻo kitautolu ki ha kahaʻu fakafiefia! Ko e hā hono ʻuhingá? Koeʻuhi he ʻoku fakamatalaʻi ʻi he Folofola tonu ʻa e ʻOtuá “ko e fuʻu kakai lahi, ʻa ia ʻe ʻikai lava ʻe ha taha hono lau, ko ha kakai mei he puleʻanga kotoa pē, mo e ngaahi matakali, mo e ngaahi faʻahinga, mo e ngaahi lea . . .

2. Ko e hā hono muʻaki fakahoko fakaekikite ʻo e ngaahi veesi kamata ʻo e Mātiu 24, Maʻake 13, pea mo e Luke 21?
2 Ko e lēkooti fakamānavaʻi ʻia Mātiu 24:3-22, Maʻake 13:3-20, mo Luke 21:7-24 ʻoku ʻuluaki ʻomai ai ʻa hono fakamatalaʻi fakaekikite ʻe Sīsū ʻa e “fakaʻosi ʻo e kuonga.”a Naʻe muʻaki fakahoko ʻa e kikite ko ʻení ʻi he fokotuʻutuʻu faka-Siu fakameleʻi ʻo e ʻuluaki senituli ʻo Hotau Kuongá, ʻo tā tuku ʻaki ha “mamahi lahi” teʻeki ai hano tatau ki he kau Siú. Ko e faʻunga fakalotu mo e fakapolitikale kotoa ʻo e fokotuʻutuʻu faka-Siú, ʻa ia naʻe fakamaʻunga ʻi he temipale ʻi Selusalemá, naʻe laku ia ki lalo, ke ʻoua naʻa toe fakafoʻou.
3. Ko e hā ʻoku fiemaʻu fakavavevave ai ke tau tokanga ki he kikite ʻa Sīsuú ʻi he ʻahó ni?
3 Tau vakai ʻi he taimí ni ki he ngaahi tuʻunga naʻá ne kāpui ʻa e ʻuluaki fakahoko ʻo e kikite ʻa Sīsuú. ʻE tokoniʻi lelei ange ai heni kitautolu ke mahinoʻi ʻa hono fakahoko hoa tatau ʻi he ʻaho ní. ʻE fakahaaʻi ai kiate kitautolu ʻa e fiemaʻu fakavavevave ko ia ke fai ha ngāue pau ʻi he taimí ni koeʻuhi ke hao ʻi he fakamamahi lahi taha ʻoku maluʻaki mai ki he faʻahinga kotoa ʻo e tangatá.—Loma 10:9-13; 15:4; 1 Kolinitō 10:11; 15:58.
“Ko e Ngataʻanga”—ʻAfē?
4, 5. (a) Ko e hā naʻe mahuʻingaʻia ai ʻa e kau Siu manavahē-ʻOtua ʻo e ʻuluaki senituli H.K. ʻi he kikite ʻa Tāniela 9:24-27? (e) Naʻe fēfē ʻa hono fakahoko ʻo e kikite ko ʻení?
4 Fakafuofua ki he taʻu 539 M.H.K. (Ki Muʻa Hotau Kuonga), naʻe ʻoange ai ki he palōfita ʻa e ʻOtuá ko Tānielá ha vīsone ʻo e ngaahi meʻa ʻe hoko lolotonga ʻa e “uike” fakaʻosi ʻo ha vahaʻa taimi ko e “fitungofuluʻi uike” ʻo e ngaahi taʻu. (Tāniela 9:24-27) Naʻe kamata ʻa e ngaahi “uike” ko ʻení ʻi he 455 M.H.K. ʻi he taimi naʻe tuʻutuʻuni ai ʻe Tuʻi ʻAtasease ʻo Pēsiá ke toe langa ʻa e kolo ko Selusalemá. Naʻe kamataʻaki ʻa e “uike” fakaʻosí ʻi he hā ʻa e Mīsaiá, ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi, ʻi hono papitaiso mo hono pani ʻi he 29 H.K. (Hotau Kuonga).b Naʻe ʻilo lelei ʻa e kau Siu manavahē-ʻOtua ʻo e ʻuluaki senituli H.K. ki he konga taimi ko ʻeni ʻo e kikite ʻa Tānielá. Ko e fakatātaá, fekauʻaki mo e fuʻu kakai naʻa nau fakatahataha ke fanongo ki he malanga ʻa Sione Papitaiso ʻi he 29 H.K., ʻoku fakamatala ʻi he Luke 3:15 (PM): “Nae lolotoga ae amanaki ae kakai, mo nau fifili kotoabe i ho nau loto kia Jone, be koe Kalaisi ia be ikai.”
5 Ko e “uike” hono 70 naʻe ʻuhinga ia ko e taʻu ʻe fitu ʻo e hōifua makehe naʻe fakalahi atu ki he kau Siú. Kamata ʻi he 29 H.K., naʻe kau ki ai ʻa e papitaiso mo e ngāue fakafaifekau ʻa Sīsuú, ko ʻene pekia fakaefeilaulaú “ʻi he vaeua ʻo e uike” ʻi he 33 H.K., mo e toe ‘vaeua ʻo e uike’ ʻo aʻu ki he 36 H.K. ʻI he lolotonga ʻo e “uike” ko ʻení, naʻe fakalahi fakangatangata pē ʻa e faingamālie ke hoko ʻo kau ʻi he kau ākonga pani ʻa Sīsuú ki he kau Siu manavahē-ʻOtuá, pea mo e kau ului Siú. ʻI he taʻu 70 H.K. leva, ko ha ʻaho naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ki ai ki muʻa, naʻe fakaʻauhamālie ai ʻe he kau tau Lomá ʻi he tataki ʻa Taitusí ʻa e fokotuʻutuʻu faka-Siu tafoki mei he moʻoní.—Tāniela 9:26, 27.
6. (a) Naʻe fēfē ʻa e fakaʻauha ʻi he “mamahi” ʻa ia naʻe kamata ʻi he 66 H.K.? (e) Ko hai naʻe haó, pea koeʻuhi ko hono fai fakatoʻotoʻo ʻo e hā?
6 Ko ia ai, naʻe fakaʻauha ʻa e tuʻunga fakataulaʻeiki faka-Siú, ʻa ia naʻá ne ʻuliʻi ʻa e temipale ʻi Selusalemá, pea faʻufaʻu fono ki hono fakapoongi ʻo e ʻAlo tonu ʻo e ʻOtuá. Naʻe mole atu ai foki, ʻa e ngaahi lēkooti fakapuleʻanga mo fakamatakalí. Hili iá, naʻe ʻikai toe lava ke taukaveʻi fakalao ʻe ha Siu haʻane totonu ki ha tuʻunga fakataulaʻeiki pe fakatuʻi. Neongo ia, ʻoku fakafiefiá, he ko e kau Siu fakalaumālie paní naʻe fakamavaheʻi kinautolu ʻo nau hoko ko ha tuʻunga taulaʻeiki fakatuʻi ke “ongoongoa atu ʻa e ngaahi lelei” ʻo Sihova ko e ʻOtuá. (1 Pita 2:9) ʻI he taimi naʻe ʻuluaki ʻākoloʻi ai ʻe he kau tau Lomá ʻa Selusalemá ʻo aʻu ʻo maumauʻi mo e konga ʻo e temipalé ʻi he 66 H.K., naʻe ʻiloʻi ʻe he kau Kalisitiané ko e mālohi fakakautau ko iá “ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he Potu Tapu ʻa e meʻa fakalielia ʻo e fakaʻauha, ʻa ia naʻe folofola ki ai ʻi he palofita ko Taniela.” ʻI he talangofua ki he tuʻutuʻuni fakaekikite ʻa Sīsuú, naʻe hola ki he ngaahi feituʻu moʻungá ʻa e kau Kalisitiane ʻi Selusalema mo Siuteá ki ha maluʻanga.—Mātiu 24:15, 16; Luke 21:20, 21.
7, 8. Ko e hā ʻa e “fakaʻilonga” naʻe mamata ki ai ʻa e kau Kalisitiané, ka ko e hā naʻe ʻikai ke nau ʻilo ki aí?
7 Naʻe mamata ʻa e kau Kalisitiane Siu anga-tonu ko iá ʻi hono fakahoko ʻo e kikite ʻa Tānielá pea naʻa nau fakamoʻoni sio tonu ʻi he ngaahi tau fakamamahi, ngaahi honge, ngaahi mahaki fakaʻauha, ngaahi mofuike, pea mo e maumau-laó, ʻa ia naʻe fuatala ʻe Sīsū ko e konga ia ʻo e “fakaʻilonga . . . mo e fakaʻosi ʻo e kuonga.” (Mātiu 24:3) Ka naʻe tala ʻe Sīsū kiate kinautolu ʻa e taimi ʻe fakahoko ai ʻe Sihova ʻa e fakamaau ki he fokotuʻutuʻu fulikivanu ko iá? ʻIkai. Ko e meʻa naʻá ne kikiteʻi ʻo fekauʻaki mo e tumutumu ʻo ʻene ʻi ai fakatuʻi ʻi he kahaʻú naʻe pau ʻa ʻene toe kaunga ki he “mamahi lahi” ʻi he ʻuluaki senitulí: “Ko e meʻa ki he ʻaho ko ia mo hono houa, ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ʻoku ʻilo ki ai; ʻio, pe ko e kau angelo ʻi he langi; pea naʻa mo e ʻAlo ʻoku ʻikai; ngata pe ʻi he Tamai tokotaha.”—Mātiu 24:36.
8 Naʻe mei lava ke fikaʻi ʻe he kau Siú ʻa e taimi ʻo e ʻasi ʻa Sīsū ʻi heʻene hoko ko e Mīsaiá, mei he kikite ʻa Tānielá. (Tāniela 9:25) Ka naʻe ʻikai ke ʻoange kiate kinautolu ia ha ʻaho ki he “mamahi lahi” ʻa ia naʻá ne fakaʻauha fakaʻosi ʻa e fokotuʻutuʻu ʻo e ngaahi meʻa faka-Siu tafoki mei he moʻoní. Naʻa nau toki ʻiloʻi pē ʻa e ʻahó ko e 70 H.K. ʻi he hili hono fakaʻauha ʻo Selusalema mo hono temipalé. Kae kehe, naʻa nau lāuʻilo ki he ngaahi lea fakaekikite ʻa Sīsuú: “ʻE ʻikai ʻaupito mole ʻa e toʻutangata ko eni, kaeʻoua ke hoko ʻa e ngāhi meʻa ko ia kotoa pe.” (Mātiu 24:34) ʻOku hā mahino, ko hono ngāueʻaki heni ʻo e “toʻutangata” ʻoku kehe ia mei heʻene hā ko ia ʻi he Koheleti 1:4, ʻa ia ʻoku lave ai ki he hokohoko ʻi he ngaahi toʻutangata ʻoku haʻu mo ʻalu ʻi ha vahaʻa taimi.

9. ʻOku fēfē ʻa hono fakamatalaʻi ʻe he ngaahi tikisinalé ʻa e foʻi lea faka-Kalisi ko e ge·ne·aʹ?

10 Ko ia ai, naʻe fakatou lave ʻa Vine mo Thayer ki he Mātiu 24:34 ʻi hono fakaʻuhinga ʻo e “toʻutangata ko eni” (he ge·ne·aʹ hauʹte) ko e “kakai tokolahi fakakātoa ʻoku moʻui ʻi he taimi tatau.” Ko e Theological Dictionary of the New Testament (1964) ʻokú ne ʻomai ʻa e poupou ki he ʻuhinga ko ʻení, ʻi heʻene pehē: “Ko e ngāueʻaki ʻo e ‘toʻutangatá’ ʻe Sīsuú ʻoku fakahaaʻi ai ʻa e fakalūkufua ʻo ʻene taumuʻá: ʻokú ne fakataumuʻa ki he kotoa ʻo e kakaí pea ʻokú ne ʻiloʻi ʻa ʻenau taha ʻi he angahalá.” Ko e moʻoni ko ha “taha ʻi he angahala” naʻe hā mahino ia ʻi he puleʻanga Siú ʻi he taimi naʻe ʻi māmani ai ʻa Sīsuú, ʻo tatau pē mo hono fakaʻilongaʻi ʻe he meʻa ko iá ʻa e tuʻunga ʻo e māmaní ʻi he ʻaho ní.c

Ko e hā ia?
“Toʻutangata Faikovi Ni”
12. Naʻe anga-fēfē ʻa hono fakafehokotaki ʻe Sīsū ʻa e “kakai” mo e “toʻutangata ko eni,” ʻi he fanongo ʻa e kakaí?
12 ʻI he 31 H.K., lolotonga ʻa e ngāue lahi fakafaifekau ʻa Sīsū ʻi Kālelí pea taimi nounou pē ʻi he hili ʻa e Pāsová, naʻe fanongo ai ʻa ʻene kau ākongá ki heʻene pehē ki he “kakai”: “Te u fakatatau ki he ha ʻa e toʻutangata ni? ʻOku hange ko ha tuʻunga tamaiki ʻoku nofo ʻi he malaʻe, ʻo kalanga ange ki ha tamaiki kehe, ʻo pehe, Ne mau tā nafa atu, kae ʻikai te mou meʻe; pea mau hua ʻa e ʻoiaue, kae ʻikai te mou si fatafata.

13 Ki mui mai ʻi he 31 H.K., ʻi he fononga atu ʻa Sīsū mo ʻene kau ākongá ʻi heʻenau fononga fakamalanga hono ua ki Kālelí, ko e “niʻihi ʻo e kau sikalaipe mo e kau Falesi” naʻa nau kole kia Sīsū ha fakaʻilonga.

14. Ko e hā ʻa e fakahalaiaʻi ʻo e kau Sātusí mo e kau Fālesí naʻe fanongo ʻa e kau ākonga ʻa Sīsuú naʻá ne faí?
14 ʻI he hili ʻa e Pāsova ʻo e 32 H.K., ʻi he hoko mai ʻa Sīsū mo ʻene kau ākongá ki he feituʻu ko Makatani ʻi Kālelí, naʻe toe kole ai ʻa e kau Sātusí pea mo e kau Fālesí kia Sīsū ki ha fakaʻilonga. Naʻá ne toe tala ange kiate kinautolu: “Ko ha toʻutangata fai kovi ia, ko ha toʻutangata alafia kae feʻauaki, ʻoku tangi ki ha fakaʻilonga: ka ʻoku ʻikai ha fakaʻilonga ʻe ʻange ki ai, ngata pe ʻi he fakaʻilonga ʻo Siona.
