“ʻUluaki Toetuʻu”—Lolotonga Hoko!
“Ko e pekia ʻia Kalaisi ʻe tomuʻa tuʻu.”—1 TESALONAIKA 4:16.
1, 2. (a) Ko e hā ʻa e ʻamanaki ki he faʻahinga kuo maté? (e) ʻOku makatuʻunga ʻi he hā ʻa hoʻo tui ki he toetuʻú? (Sio ki he fakamatala ʻi laló.)
“KO E kau moʻui ʻoku nau ʻilo ai pe te nau pekia.” Kuo moʻoni eni talu mei he faiangahala ʻa ʻĀtamá. ʻI he hisitōliá kotoa, kuo ʻilo ʻe he tokotaha kotoa pē ʻoku fanauʻi mai ʻe faai atu pē ʻo mate, pea kuo fifili ʻa e tokolahi: ‘Ko e hā ʻoku hoko atu aí? Ko e hā ʻa e tuʻunga ʻo e kau maté?’ ʻOku tali ʻe he Tohi Tapú: “Ko e kau pekia ʻoku ʻikai te nau ʻilo ha momoʻi meʻa.”—Koheleti 9:5.
2 ʻOku ʻi ai ha ʻamanaki ki he faʻahinga kuo maté? ʻIo. Ko hono moʻoní, kuo pau ke ʻi ai ke fakahoko ʻa e fuofua taumuʻa ʻa e ʻOtuá ki he faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá. ʻI he faai mai ʻa e ngaahi senitulí, kuo ngāueʻi ai ʻe he kau sevāniti mateaki ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻa e tui ki he talaʻofa ʻa Sihova fekauʻaki mo ha Hako ʻa ia te ne fakaʻauha ʻa Sētane pea toʻo mo e maumau naʻá ne fakahokó. (Senesi 3:15) Kuo mate ʻa e tokolahi. Ke nau sio ki hono fakahoko ʻa e talaʻofa ko iá mo e ngaahi talaʻofa kehe kuo fai ʻe Sihová, ʻoku fiemaʻu ke fokotuʻu hake kinautolu mei he maté. (Hepelu 11:13) ʻE malava ha meʻa pehē? ʻIo, ʻe malava. Naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Paulá: “ʻE faifai pea hoko ha toetuʻu ʻa e angatonu mo e angahala fakatouʻosi.” (Ngāue 24:15) Naʻe ʻi ai ha taimi naʻe fokotuʻu ai ʻe Paula ha kiʻi talavou ko ʻŪtiko, ʻa ia naʻe tō mei he funga matapā ʻo ha funga-vaka tolu pea “naʻe hiki hake kuo pekia.” Ko e toetuʻu fakamuimui eni ʻi he ngaahi toetuʻu ʻe hiva ʻoku hiki ʻi he Tohi Tapú.—Ngāue 20:7-12.a
3. Ko e hā ʻa e fiemālie kuó ke maʻu fakafoʻituitui mei he lea ʻa Sīsū ʻoku hiki ʻi he Sione 5:28, 29, pea ko e hā hono ʻuhingá?
3 ʻOku hoko ʻa e ngaahi toetuʻu ʻe hiva ko iá ko ha makatuʻunga ia ki heʻetau tui ki he lea ʻa Paulá. ʻOku fakaivimālohiʻi ai ʻetau falala ki he lea fakapapau ʻa Sīsū: “ʻOku ʻunu mai ha taimi, ʻa ia ʻe fanongo ai ki [he] leʻo [ʻo Sīsuú] ʻe he kakai kotoa pe ʻoku ʻi he ngaahi faʻitoka, pea te nau ʻalu atu mei ai.” (Fakaʻītali ʻamautolu; Sione 5:28, 29) He fakalotomāfana moʻoni ko e ngaahi leá ni! Pea he fakafiemālie moʻoni ko ia ki he laui miliona kuo mohe ʻi he maté ʻa honau ngaahi ʻofaʻangá!
4, 5. Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi toetuʻu kehekehe ʻoku lave ki ai ʻa e Tohi Tapú, pea ko e toetuʻu fē ʻe fakamatalaʻi ʻi he kupu ko ení?
4 Ko e tokolahi taha ʻo e faʻahinga ʻoku toetuʻú te nau foki mai ki ha māmani melino ʻi he malumalu ʻo e Puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá. (Sāme 37:10, 11, 29; Aisea 11:6-9; 35:5, 6; 65:21-23) Kae kehe, ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa e ngaahi toetuʻu kehe ʻe hoko ki muʻa ʻi he toetuʻu ko iá. ʻUluakí, naʻe pau ke fokotuʻu hake ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi ke ne ʻoatu ʻa e mahuʻinga ʻo ʻene feilaulaú ki he ʻOtuá maʻatautolu. Naʻe pekia ʻa Sīsū pea fokotuʻu hake ʻi he 33 T.S.
5 Hokó, ko e ngaahi mēmipa pani ʻo e “Isileli oe Otua” kuo pau ke nau kau fakataha mo e ʻEiki ko Sīsū Kalaisí ʻi he lāngilangi fakahēvaní, ʻa ia te nau “ʻi he ʻEiki maʻu ai pe.” (Kaletia 6:16, PM; 1 Tesalonaika 4:17) Ko e meʻa eni ʻoku ui ko e “toetuʻu ko é” pe ko e “ʻuluaki toetuʻu.” (Filipai 3:10, 11; Fakahā 20:6) ʻI he kakato ʻa e toetuʻu ko iá, ʻe hoko leva ai ʻa e taimi ke fokotuʻu mai ai ʻa e laui miliona ki he māmaní mo e ʻamanaki ki hono maʻu ʻa e moʻui taʻengata ʻi he Palataisí. Ko ia ai, pe ʻoku tau maʻu ʻa e ʻamanaki ki hēvaní pe māmaní, ʻoku tau vēkeveke ke ʻilo ki he “ʻuluaki toetuʻu.” Ko e faʻahinga toetuʻu fēfē ia? ʻOku hoko ia ʻafē?
“Ko e Ha ʻa e Anga ʻo e Sino?”
6, 7. (a) Ki muʻa ke ʻalu ʻa e kau Kalisitiane paní ki hēvaní, ko e hā kuo pau ke hokó? (e) Ko e faʻahinga sino fēfē te nau toetuʻu hake aí?
6 ʻI he ʻuluaki tohi ʻa Paula ki he kau Kolinitoó, ʻokú ne ʻohake ai ha fehuʻi fekauʻaki mo e ʻuluaki toetuʻú: “Ko e ha ʻa e anga ʻo e fokotuʻu ʻo e pekia? Ko e ha ʻa e anga ʻo e sino te nau haʻu mo kinautolu?” ʻOkú ne tali leva ʻa e fehuʻí: “Naʻa mo e meʻa ʻoku ke to ʻe koe ʻoku ʻikai fakamoʻui hake ia ʻo kapau ʻoku ʻikai mate . . . ka ʻoku ʻatu ki ai ʻe he ʻOtua ha sino, ʻo fakatatau ki heʻene tuʻutuʻuni . . . ʻOku taha ʻa e teunga ʻo e faʻahinga fakalangi, pea taha kehe ʻa e teunga ʻo e faʻahinga fakaemamani.”—1 Kolinito 15:35-40.
7 ʻOku hā mei he lea ʻa Paulá ko e kau Kalisitiane ʻoku paniʻaki ʻa e laumālie māʻoniʻoní kuo pau ke nau mate ki muʻa ke nau toki maʻu honau pale fakahēvaní. ʻI heʻenau maté, ʻoku foki ai ʻa honau sino fakamatelié ki he efú. (Senesi 3:19) ʻI he taimi kotofa ʻa e ʻOtuá, ʻoku fokotuʻu hake ai kinautolu ʻi ha faʻahinga sino ʻoku feʻunga mo e moʻui ʻi hēvaní. (1 Sione 3:3 [1Sio 3:2, PM]) ʻOku toe ʻoange kiate kinautolu ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa e taʻefaʻamate. ʻOku ʻikai ko ha meʻa ia ʻoku nau maʻu ʻi honau fanauʻí, ʻo hangē ne hō kiate kinautolu ha laumālie taʻefaʻamate ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku laú. ʻOku pehē ʻe Paula: “Ke ʻai ʻe he meʻa mate ni ʻa e taʻefaʻamate.” Ko e taʻefaʻamaté ko ha meʻaʻofa ia mei he ʻOtuá, ʻoku “ʻai” ʻe he faʻahinga ʻoku ʻinasi ʻi he ʻuluaki toetuʻú.—1 Kolinito 15:50, 53; Senesi 2:7; 2 Kolinito 5:1, 2, 8.
8. ʻOku anga-fēfē ʻetau ʻilo ʻoku ʻikai ke fili ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa e toko 144,000 mei ha ngaahi lotu kehekehe?
8 Ko e toko 144,000 pē ʻoku ʻinasi ʻi he ʻuluaki toetuʻú. Naʻe kamata hono fili kinautolu ʻe Sihová ʻi he Penitekosi 33 T.S., taimi nounou pē mei heʻene fokotuʻu ʻa Sīsuú. Ko kinautolu kotoa ʻoku “tohi ki honau laʻe ʻa [e] huafa [ʻo Sīsū], mo e huafa oʻene Tamai.” (Fakahā 14:1, 3) Ko ia ai, ʻoku ʻikai fili kinautolu mei ha ngaahi lotu kehekehe. Ko e kau Kalisitiane kotoa kinautolu, pea ʻoku nau fataki kotoa mo laukauʻaki ʻa e huafa ʻo e Tamaí—ʻa Sihova. ʻI he taimi ʻoku fokotuʻu hake ai kinautolú, ʻoku vaheʻi ange ha ngāue kiate kinautolu ʻi hēvani. Ko e ʻamanaki ʻo e tauhi ki he ʻOtuá ʻi ha founga fakahangatonu peheé ʻoku fakafiefia moʻoni ia kiate kinautolu.
ʻOku Lolotonga Hoko?
9. ʻOku anga-fēfē ʻa e tokoni mai ʻa e Fakahā 12:7 mo e 17:14 ke tau fakafuofuaʻi ʻa e taimi ʻoku kamata ai ʻa e ʻuluaki toetuʻú?
9 ʻOku hoko ʻafē ʻa e ʻuluaki toetuʻú? ʻOku ʻi ai ʻa e fakamoʻoni mālohi ʻoku lolotonga hoko. Ko e fakatātaá, fakafehoanaki ʻa e ongo vahe ʻe ua ʻo e tohi Fakahaá. ʻUluakí, vakai ki he Fakahā vahe 12. ʻOku tau lau ai ko Sīsū Kalaisi ne toki fakanofo Tuʻí, fakataha mo ʻene kau ʻāngelo māʻoniʻoní ʻoku nau faitau mo Sētane mo ʻene kau tēmenioó. (Fakahā 12:7-9) Hangē ko ia ʻoku faʻa fakahaaʻi atu ʻi he makasini ko ení, naʻe kamata ʻa e tau ko iá ʻi he 1914.b Kae kehe, fakatokangaʻi ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ʻi he kau muimui pani ʻo Kalaisí ʻoku pehē naʻe kau mo Sīsū ʻi he tau fakahēvani ko iá. Sai, vakai leva he taimí ni ki he vahe 17 ʻo e tohi Fakahaá. ʻOku tau lau ai ʻi he hili ʻa e fakaʻauha ʻo “Babilone koe Lahi,” ʻe ikunaʻi ai ʻe he Lamí ʻa e ngaahi puleʻangá. Pea ʻokú ne tānaki mai: “Bea ko kinautolu oku iate [iá] kuo ui, mo fili, mo agatonu.” (Fakahā 17:5, 14, PM) Ko e faʻahinga “kuo ui, mo fili, mo agatonu” kuo pau ne nau ʻosi toetuʻu kapau ʻoku nau kau fakataha mo Sīsū ki he ikunaʻi fakaʻosi ʻo e māmani ʻo Sētané. ʻOku ʻuhinga lelei leva ai ke pehē, ko e faʻahinga pani ʻoku mate ki muʻa ʻi ʻĀmaketoné ʻoku nau toetuʻu ʻi ha taimi ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo e taʻu 1914 mo ʻĀmaketoné.
10, 11. (a) Ko hai ʻa e kau mātuʻa ʻe toko 24, pea ko e hā ʻoku fakahā ʻe he tokotaha ʻo kinautolu kia Sioné? (e) Ko e hā ʻoku lava ke tau fakaʻosiʻaki mei hení?
10 ʻE lava ke tau tala papau ange ʻa e taimi ʻoku kamata ai ʻa e ʻuluaki toetuʻú? ʻOku ʻi ai ha tataki mahuʻinga ʻoku maʻu ʻi he Fakahā 7:9-15, ʻa ia ʻoku fakamatalaʻi ai ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Sioné ʻa ʻene vīsone ki ha “fuʻu kakai lahi, ʻa ia ʻe ʻikai lava ʻe ha taha hono lau.” Ko hono ʻiloʻi ʻo e fuʻu kakai lahi ko iá ʻoku fakahaaʻi ia kia Sione ʻe he taha ʻo e kau mātuʻa ʻe toko 24, pea ʻoku fakafofongaʻi ʻe he kau mātuʻa ko ení ʻa e toko 144,000 ko e ngaahi kaungāʻea mo Kalaisi ʻi honau lāngilangi fakahēvaní.c (Luke 22:28-30; Fakahā 4:4) Ko Sione tonu naʻá ne maʻu ha ʻamanaki fakahēvani; ka koeʻuhi naʻá ne kei ʻi he māmaní ko ha tangata ʻi he taimi naʻe lea ai kiate ia ʻa e mātuʻá, ʻi he vīsoné kuo pau ʻoku fakafofongaʻi ai ʻe Sione ʻa e faʻahinga pani ʻi he māmaní kuo teʻeki ke nau maʻu ʻa honau pale fakahēvaní.
11 Ko e hā leva ʻa e meʻa ʻe lava ke tau fakaʻosiʻaki mei he moʻoniʻi meʻa ko ia ʻo hono fakamatalaʻi ʻe he taha ʻi he kau mātuʻa ʻe toko 24 ʻa e fuʻu kakai lahí kia Sioné? ʻOku hā ngali ko e faʻahinga kuo toetuʻu ʻo e kau mātuʻa ʻe toko 24 ʻoku nau kau nai ʻi hono fakahoko mai he ʻahó ni ʻa e ngaahi moʻoni fakaʻotuá. Ko e hā ʻoku mahuʻinga ai iá? Koeʻuhi ko hono ʻiloʻi totonu ʻo e fuʻu kakai lahí naʻe fakahaaʻi ia ki he kau sevāniti pani ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi he māmaní ʻi he 1935. Kapau naʻe ngāueʻaki ʻa e taha ʻo e kau mātuʻa ʻe toko 24 ke ne fakahoko mai ʻa e moʻoni mahuʻinga ko iá, kuo pau ne fokotuʻu hake ia ki hēvani ʻo ʻikai toe mahili mei he 1935. ʻOku fakahaaʻi mei ai naʻe kamata ʻa e ʻuluaki toetuʻú ʻi ha taimi ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo e 1914 mo e 1935. ʻE lava ke tau fai ha tali papau ange ai?
12. Fakamatalaʻi ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻoku malava ai ke vakai ki he failau ʻo e 1918 ko e taimi nai ia naʻe kamata ai ʻa e ʻuluaki toetuʻú.
12 ʻI he tuʻunga ko ení, ʻe tokoni nai ke tau sio ki he meʻa ʻoku fai ʻa e vakai ki ai ko ha hoatatau ʻi he Tohi Tapú. Naʻe pani ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi ko e Tuʻi ki he kahaʻú ʻo e Puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻi he fakatōlau ʻo e 29 T.S. ʻI he hili ʻa e taʻu ʻe tolu mo e konga mei ai, ʻi he failau ʻo e 33 T.S., naʻe fokotuʻu hake ia ko ha tokotaha laumālie mālohi. ʻE lava nai ai ke fakaʻuhingaʻi koeʻuhi naʻe fakanofo Tuʻi ʻa Sīsū ʻi he fakatōlau ʻo e 1914, naʻe kamata ʻa e toetuʻu ʻa hono kau muimui pani faitōnungá ʻi he hili mei ai ʻa e taʻu ʻe tolu mo e konga, ʻi he failau ʻo e 1918? Ko ha fakamahalo mālie ia. Neongo ʻoku ʻikai lava ke fakapapauʻi hangatonu eni ʻi he Tohi Tapú, ʻoku ʻikai ke fepaki ia mo e ngaahi konga Tohi Tapu kehe ʻoku fakahaaʻi ai naʻe kamata ʻa e ʻuluaki toetuʻú ʻi ha taimi nounou pē mei he kamata ʻa e ʻi ai ʻa Kalaisí.
13. ʻI he founga fē ʻoku fokotuʻu mai ai ʻi he 1 Tesalonaika 4:15-17 naʻe hoko ʻa e ʻuluaki toetuʻú ʻi he kamataʻanga ʻo e ʻi ai ʻa Kalaisí?
13 Ko e fakatātaá, naʻe tohi ʻe Paula: “Neongo kitaua ʻe tolonga ʻo aʻusia ʻa e hoko mai [pe ʻi ai] ʻa e ʻEiki [ʻikai ki he ngataʻanga ʻo ʻene ʻi aí], mole ke mamaʻo haʻata muʻomuʻa ʻiate kinautolu kuo mohe. Koeʻuhi ʻe haʻele mei he langi ʻa e ʻEiki ʻe ia, pea ai ha vakavakaō, ʻa e angi ʻa ha angelo-pule, mo e ifi ʻa e talupite ʻa e ʻOtua: pea ko e pekia ʻia Kalaisi ʻe tomuʻa tuʻu: hili ia, ko kitaua kuo ta tolonga ʻo aʻusia, ʻe punakaki kitaua fakataha mo kinautolu ʻi he ngaahi ʻao ki he ʻatā, ke fakafetaulaki ki he ʻEiki: pea hili ia te ta ʻi he ʻEiki maʻu ai pe.” (1 Tesalonaika 4:15-17) Ko ia ai, ko e kau Kalisitiane pani ko ia naʻa nau mate ki muʻa ʻi he ʻi ai ʻa Kalaisí, naʻe tomuʻa fokotuʻu hake kinautolu ki he moʻui fakahēvaní ʻi he faʻahinga ko ia naʻa nau kei moʻui lolotonga ʻa e ʻi ai ʻa Kalaisí. ʻOku ʻuhinga ení kuo pau naʻe kamata ʻa e ʻuluaki toetuʻú ʻi he kamataʻanga ʻo e ʻi ai ʻa Kalaisí, pea ʻoku hokohoko ai pē ʻi he “lolotonga ʻa ʻene ʻi aí.” (1 Kolinito 15:23, NW) ʻI he ʻikai ke toetuʻu kotoa pē ʻi he taimi pē tahá, ko e ʻuluaki toetuʻú ʻoku hoko ia ʻi ha vahaʻa taimi.
