“Mou tokanga, mou ʻā pē: he ʻoku ʻikai te mou ʻilo pe fakakū hono taimi [kuo kotofa, “NW”].”—MAAKE 13:33.
1. Ko e hā ʻa e meʻa ʻoku totonu ke tau fai ʻi he hoko ʻa e ngaahi meʻa fakatoʻoaloto ʻi he “kuoga oe gataaga” ni?
ʻI HE hoko ʻa e ngaahi meʻa fakatoʻoaloto ʻi he “kuoga oe gataaga” ni, ko e hā ʻoku totonu ke fai ʻe he kau Kalisitiané? (Tāniela 12:4, PM) ʻOku ʻikai ke tuku kinautolu ke nau veiveiua. Naʻe fakahā ʻe Sīsū Kalaisi ʻa e kikite ʻo fekauʻaki mo e fakaʻilonga faʻu fetuiaki kuo fakahoko ʻi he senituli 20 ni. Naʻá ne kikiteʻi ʻa e ngaahi meʻa lahi kuo nau fakaʻilongaʻi ʻo taʻe hano tatau ʻa e vahaʻa taimi ko ení talu mei he 1914. ʻI he ʻilo ʻa Sīsū ki he kikite ʻa Tāniela ʻo fekauʻaki mo e “kuoga oe gataaga,” naʻá ne hoko atu ai ʻa ʻene kikite lahi ʻaʻana tonu ʻaki ʻene naʻinaʻi ki heʻene kau ākongá ke nau “hanganaki ʻāʻā.”—Luke 21:36, NW.
2. Ko e hā ʻoku fiemaʻu lahi ai ke hanganaki ʻāʻā fakalaumālié?
2 Ko e hā ke hanganaki ʻāʻā ai? Koeʻuhi ko e taimi fakatuʻutāmaki lahi taha eni ʻi he hisitōlia ʻo e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá. ʻE hoko ʻo fakatuʻutāmaki ʻaupito ki he kau Kalisitiané ʻa e tulemohe fakalaumālie ʻi he taimi ko ení. Kapau te tau hoko ʻo fakataʻetaʻehohaʻa pe fakaʻatā hotau lotó ke mafasia ʻi he ngaahi loto-moʻua ʻo fekauʻaki mo e moʻuí, te tau ʻi he tuʻunga fakatuʻutāmaki. Naʻe fakatokanga mai ʻe Sīsū Kalaisi kiate kitautolu ʻia Luke 21:34, 35: “Ka mou lamasi kimoutolu, naʻa ʻiloange ʻe mafatukituki homou loto, ko e meʻa ʻi he faʻa kai, mo e faʻa inu, mo e faʻa lotomoʻua ki he moʻui ni, pea lapasi [fakafokifā, NW] kimoutolu ʻe he ʻaho ko ia ʻo hangē ko ha hele puna: he te ne hoko ki he kakai kotoa pe ʻi heʻenau nofo pe ʻi he funga ʻo māmani kotoa.”
3, 4. (a) Ko e hā ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻa Sīsū ʻi heʻene pehē ʻe hoko fakafokifā ʻa e ʻaho ʻo e houhau ʻa e ʻOtuá ki he kakaí “ʻo hangē ko ha hele puna”? (e) Koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ko e ʻOtuá ʻokú ne fokotuʻu ʻa e hele puna pe tauhelé, ko e hā ʻe lapasi taʻeʻamanekina ai ʻe he ʻaho ko iá ʻa e kakai tokolahi taha?
3 Naʻe ʻi ai ʻa e ʻuhinga lelei naʻe pehē ai ʻe Sīsū ‘ʻe lapasi fakafokifā kitautolu ʻo hangē ha hele puna’ ʻe he ʻaho ʻo Sihová. ʻOku faʻa ʻai maʻu pē ʻa e tauhelé ʻo noʻounu, pea ʻoku ngāueʻaki ia ki hono puke ʻa e fanga manupuna mo e fanga manu totolo. ʻOku ʻai maʻu pē ha meʻa ʻi he tauhelé pea ʻi he ala pe malaki ia ʻe ha taha, ʻoku mapuni leva ʻa e tauhelé pea maʻu ai ia. ʻOku hoko vave ʻaupito ʻa e ngaahi meʻá ni. Naʻe pehē ʻe Sīsū, ʻi he founga tatau ʻe fakaʻohovaleʻi mo maʻu pehē ʻe he “ʻaho ʻo e houhau” ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻa e faʻahinga ʻoku ʻikai ke ngāue fakalaumālié.—Palōvepi 11:4.
4 Ko e ʻOtua ko Sihová ʻa e tokotaha ʻokú ne fokotuʻu ʻa e hele puná pe tauhele ki he kakaí? ʻIkai, ʻoku ʻikai te ne tatali ke maʻu ʻa e kakai ʻoku ʻikai te nau tokangá ke fakaʻauha kinautolu. Ka ʻe lapasi ʻe he ʻaho ko iá ʻa e kakai tokolahi taha koeʻuhi ko e ʻikai te nau tomuʻa fakakaukau ki he Puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá. ʻOku nau fou pē ʻi he founga ʻanautolu ʻi he tulitāupau ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻo e moʻuí, ʻo ʻikai te nau tokanga ki he ʻuhinga ʻo e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku hoko takatakai kiate kinautolú. Kaekehe, ʻoku ʻikai ke liliu ʻe he meʻá ni ʻa e taimi-tēpile ʻa e ʻOtuá. Kuo ʻi ai ʻene taimi tukupau ʻaʻana ke fai ai ʻene fakamaaú. Pea ʻi heʻene meesí, ʻoku ʻikai te ne tuku ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá ke nau taʻeʻilo ki heʻene fakamaau ʻoku tuʻunuku maí.—Maʻake 13:10.
5, 6. (a) Koeʻuhi ko e fakamaau ʻoku tuʻunuku maí, ko e hā ʻa e tokonaki ʻofa kuo fai ʻe he Tokotaha-Fakatupú maʻá e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá, ka ko e hā ʻa e meʻa ʻe hoko ki he kakai tokolahi taha? (e) Ko e hā te tau lave ki ai ke tokoni kiate kitautolu ke tau hanganaki ʻāʻā?
5 Ko e fakatokanga ko ení ko ha tokonaki ʻofa ia ʻa e Tokotaha-Fakatupu lahi, ʻa ia ʻokú ne tokanga ki he lelei ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá ʻi heni ʻi hono tuʻungavaʻe fakaefakatātaá. (ʻAisea 66:1) ʻOkú ne koloaʻaki ʻa e kau nofo ʻi he feituʻu ʻa ia ʻoku lave ki ai ʻokú ne tuʻungavaʻe ʻaki. Ko ia ʻokú ne fakatokanga kiate kinautolu ʻo fakafou mai ʻi heʻene kau fakafofonga mo e kau talafekau ʻi māmani ʻo kau ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoku tuʻunuku mai kiate kinautolú. (2 Kolinitō 5:20) Kaekehe, neongo ʻa e ngaahi fakatokanga kotoa ʻoku ʻomaí, ʻe hoko taʻeʻamanekina mai ʻa e ngaahi meʻá ni ki he faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá ʻo hangē pē kuo nau malaki ha tauhelé. Ko e hā hono ʻuhingá? Koeʻuhi ʻoku mohe fakalaumālie ʻa e tokolahi taha ʻo e kakaí. (1 Tesalonaika 5:6) Ko ha kiʻi tokosiʻi pē ʻoku nau tokanga ki he fakatokangá pea te nau hao moʻui atu ki he māmani foʻou ʻa e ʻOtuá.—Mātiu 7:13, 14.
6 Ko ia, ʻoku malava fēfē ke tau hanganaki ʻāʻā ʻi he kuonga ko eni ʻo e ngataʻangá koeʻuhi ke tau kau ʻi he faʻahinga ko ia ʻe fakahaofí? ʻOku tokonaki mai ʻe Sihova ʻa e tokoni ʻoku fiemaʻú. Tau fakatokangaʻi ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻe fitu ʻoku malava ke tau faí.
Tauʻi ʻa e Fakaleluʻi Kitá
7. Ko e hā ʻa e fakatokanga naʻe fai ʻe Sīsū fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi meʻa fakatupu fakaleluʻi kitá?
7 ʻUluakí, kuo pau ke tau tauʻi ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku nau fakaleluʻi kitá. Naʻe pehē ʻe Sīsū ʻia Mātiu 24:42, 44: “Ko ia ke mou leʻo; he ʻoku ʻikai te mou ʻilo pe ko e ʻaho fē ʻe hoko mei ai ʻa homou ʻEiki. Ko ia ke toka teuteu ʻa kimoutolu foki: he ko e hoko mai ʻa e Fanautama ʻa Tangata ʻe fai ʻi ha taimi ʻoku ʻikai te mou ʻamanaki ai kiate ia.” ʻOku fakahā ʻe he lea naʻe ngāueʻaki heni ʻe Sīsuú ʻe lahi ʻa e ngaahi meʻa fakatupu-fakaleluʻi kita ʻi he taimi tauhaʻa ko ení, pea ʻe malava ke taki atu ʻa e ngaahi meʻa fakatupu-fakaleluʻi ko ení ki he fakaʻauha. ʻI he taimi ʻo Noá naʻe lahi ʻa e ngaahi meʻa naʻa nau fakafemoʻuekinaʻi ʻa e kakaí. Ko hono olá, naʻe “ʻikai tokanga” ʻa e kakai kuo fakaleluʻí ki he meʻa naʻe lolotonga hokó, pea ne nau ʻauha kotoa ʻi he Lōmakí. Ko ia ai, naʻe fakatokanga mai ʻe Sīsū: “ʻE hoko pehē pē ʻi he ʻi ai ʻa e Fanautama ʻa tangatá.”—Mātiu 24:37-39, NW.
8, 9. (a) ʻOku malava fēfē ke fakaleluʻi fakatuʻutāmaki kitautolu ʻe he ngaahi meʻa anga-maheni ʻo e moʻuí? (e) Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi fakatokanga naʻe ʻomai kiate kitautolu ʻe Paula mo Sīsū?
8 Manatuʻi mo ʻeni foki, ʻi he fakatokanga ʻa Sīsū ʻia Luke 21:34, 35, naʻá ne lāulea ki he ngaahi meʻa anga-maheni ʻo e moʻuí, ʻo hangē ko e kai, inu, mo e loto-moʻua ki he moʻuí. Ko e ngaahi meʻa ia ʻoku kaunga ki he tangata kotoa pē, ʻo kau ai ʻa e kau ākonga ʻa e ʻEiki ko Sīsuú. (Fehoanaki mo Maʻake 6:31.) ʻOku ʻikai ke fakatuʻutāmaki ʻa e ngaahi meʻá ni, ka ʻo kapau ʻoku fakaʻatā ia ke ne fakaleluʻi kitautolu, ʻo fakafemoʻuekinaʻi kitautolu, te nau fakatupunga ʻiate kitautolu ʻa e tulemohe fakalaumālie fakatuʻutāmaki.
9 Ko ia ai, ʻoua te tau siʻaki ai ʻa e meʻa ʻoku mahuʻinga lahi tahá—ko e maʻu ʻo e hōifua fakaeʻotuá. Ke ʻoua te tau hoko ʻo fuʻu femoʻuekina ʻi he ngaahi meʻa anga-maheni ʻo e moʻuí, tau ngāueʻaki pē kinautolu ʻi ha tuʻunga fakangatangata ʻoku fiemaʻu pē ke tau moʻuiʻaki. (Filipai 3:8) ʻOku ʻikai totonu ke nau hoko ʻo fakaʻefihiaʻi ʻa e ngaahi meʻa mahuʻinga ʻo e Puleʻangá. Hangē ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻia Loma 14:17: “Ko e puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtua ʻoku ʻikai ko ha kai mo ha inu, ka ko e maʻoniʻoni mo e melino mo e fiefia, ʻi he Laumalie Maʻoniʻoni.” Manatuʻi ʻa e ngaahi lea ʻa Sīsū ʻi heʻene pehē: “Ka mou kumi muʻa ki hono puleʻanga, mo e maʻoniʻoni aʻana, pea ʻe ʻatu mo ia foki ʻa e ngāhi meʻa ko ia kotoa.” (Mātiu 6:33) ʻIkai ngata ai, naʻe pehē ʻe Sīsū ʻia Luke 9:62: “Ko ia ʻoku ala ke fakaʻuli ʻa e palau, mo kilokilo ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻi mui, ʻoku ʻikai te ne tuha mo e puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtua.”
10. Ko e hā ʻa e fakatuʻutāmaki ʻoku ʻi ai kapau ʻoku ʻikai te tau ʻai hotau matá ke sio hangatonu atu ki muʻa ki he koló?
10 ʻI he lea fakaefakatātaá, ʻi haʻatau kamata ke fai ha palau, kuo pau ke tau hanganaki ʻalu hangatonu. Ko ha tangata palau ʻokú ne sio ki mui ʻe ʻikai te ne palau hangatonu. ʻOku fakaleluʻi ia pea ʻoku malava ke afeʻingofua ia pe taʻofituʻu ʻe ha ngaahi meʻa. Ke ʻoua te tau hangē ko e uaifi ʻo Loté, ʻa ia naʻá ne sio ki mui pea ʻikai te ne hao ai. ʻOku fiemaʻu ke tau ʻai hotau matá ke sio hangatonu atu ki muʻa ki he koló. Ke fai ia kuo pau ke tau tauʻi ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku nau fakaleluʻi kitá.—Sēnesi 19:17, 26; Luke 17:32.

11. Ko e hā naʻe fakamamafaʻi ʻe Sīsū ʻi he hili ʻo ʻene fai fakatokanga kiate kitautolu ʻo kau ki he fakatuʻutāmaki ʻo e fakaleluʻi kitá?
11 Kaekehe, ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa e meʻa lahi ange ʻoku malava ke tau fai ke tau ʻāʻā ai. Ko e meʻa mahuʻinga hono uá ko e: Lotu tōtōivi. ʻI he hili ʻa e fakatokanga kiate kitautolu ʻo fekauʻaki mo hono fakaleluʻi kita ʻe he ngaahi meʻa anga-maheni ʻo e moʻuí, naʻe ʻomai ʻe Sīsū ʻa e akonaki ko ení: “Ka mou ʻā pe, mo lotu ʻi he taimi kotoa pe, koeʻuhi ke mou lava ke hao mei he ngāhi meʻa ko ia fulipe ʻoku ene ke hoko; pea ke tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻo e Fanautama ʻa Tangata.”—Luke 21:36.
12. Ko e hā ʻa e faʻahinga lotu ʻoku fiemaʻú, pea ko e hā hono olá?
12 Ko ia ai, kuo pau ke tau lotu maʻu pē ʻo fekauʻaki mo e tuʻunga fakatuʻutāmaki ʻoku tau ʻi aí pea mo e fiemaʻu kiate kitautolu ke tau tokangá. Ko ia, tau fou maʻu pē ki he ʻOtuá ʻi he ngaahi kōlenga tōtōivi. ʻOku pehē ʻe Paula ʻia Loma 12:12: “ʻI he hufia, mou fakaʻutumauku hono fai.” Pea ʻoku tau lau ʻia ʻEfesō 6:18: “[Ko e] faʻahinga hu kehekehe mo e kole, ʻo mou lama ke maʻu ʻa e meʻa ko ia ʻi he fuʻu fakaʻutumauku ʻo e hufia.” ʻOku ʻikai ko hono fai ʻa e lotú ʻo hangē ko ha meʻa noa pē ʻoku ʻikai hano mahuʻinga lahi. Ko ʻetau moʻuí ni ʻoku ʻi he tuʻunga fakatuʻutāmaki. Ko ia ai, ʻoku fiemaʻu ke tau kole tōtōivi ki ha tokoni fakaʻotua. (Fehoanaki mo Hepelū 5:7.) ʻI he founga ko iá te tau tauhi maʻu ai kitautolu ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻa Sihová. ʻOku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻoku ʻaonga lahi ange kiate kitautolu ki hono fakahoko ení ka ko ʻetau “lotu ʻi he taimi kotoa pe.” ʻE tauhi leva ʻe Sihova ʻa kitautolu ʻi ha tuʻunga ʻo e tokanga vakavakai. Ko ia, ko e meʻa mahuʻinga lahi ē ke kīvoi ʻi he lotu!

(Mātiu 24:14) ʻOku ʻikai ko e Kau Fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihová ʻa e faʻahinga te nau fakapapauʻi ʻa e taimi ke ngata ai ʻa e ngāue fakamalangá. ʻOku tuku ʻe Sihova ʻa e totonu ko iá kiate ia tonu pē. (Maʻake 13:32, 33) Kaekehe, ʻoku tau loto-ʻalovili ke ngāue ki he lahi taha ʻoku malavá pea ki he lahi taha ʻoku fiemaʻu ke malanga ai ʻo kau ki he founga-pule lelei taha ʻoku malava ke maʻu ki he faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá, ko e Puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá. ʻE hoko mai ʻa e fuʻu “mamahi lahi” lolotonga ʻoku tau kei fai ʻa e ngāue ko ení.

22. ʻOku totonu ke ueʻi fēfē kitautolu ʻe he ofi mai hotau fakahaofí?
22 ʻI he ofi mai ange ʻa hotau fakahaofí, kuo pau ke tau hanganaki ʻāʻā! Kuo pau ke ʻoua te tau ʻai ha ngaahi meʻa fakaekita pe fakaemāmani ke mamafa ange ia ʻi heʻetau houngaʻia ki he meʻa ʻoku lolotonga fai ʻe Sihova koeʻuhi ko hono kakaí he lolotonga ʻo e kuonga ko eni ʻo e ngataʻangá. (Tāniela 12:3) ʻOku fiemaʻu ke tau fakahāhā ʻa e kīvoi lahi ange ia mei ha toe taimi ki muʻa koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa afeʻi kitautolu mei he ʻalunga ʻoku fokotuʻu mahino mai maʻatautolu ʻe he Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá. (Mātiu 13:22) ʻOku fakahāhā mahino ʻe he fakamoʻoni ko e māmani ko ení ʻoku ʻi hono ngaahi ʻaho fakaʻosí. ʻOku vavé ni ke toʻo ʻaupito atu ia ʻo taʻengata kae ʻatā ʻa e māmani foʻou ʻo e māʻoniʻoní.—2 Pita 3:13.
23. ʻI he founga fē ʻe tokoniʻi ai kitautolu ʻe Sihova, pea ko e hā ʻa e tāpuaki ʻe hoko maí?
23 Ko ia, ʻai ke tau hoko ʻo hanganaki ʻāʻā. Tau ʻai kitautolu ke tau tokanga ʻo lahi ange ʻi ha toe taimi ki muʻa, ke ʻilo pe ʻoku tau ʻi fē ʻi he faai atu ʻa e taimí. Manatuʻi, ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito ke mohe ʻa Sihova ʻi he fekauʻaki mo e meʻá ni. Ka, te ne tokoniʻi kitautolu maʻu ai pē ke tau hanganaki ʻāʻā ʻi he kuonga ko eni ʻo e ngataʻangá. ʻOku faai atu ʻa e pō. ʻOku ofí ni mai ʻa e ʻahó. Ko ia hanganaki ʻāʻā! ʻOku vavé ni ke tau aʻusia ʻa e ʻaho fakaʻofoʻofa taha, ʻi he fakahoko ʻe he Puleʻanga faka-Mīsaiá ʻa e taumuʻa ʻa Sihova ki he foʻi māmaní!—Fakahā 21:4, 5.
