2 ʻI he Moʻunga ʻŌlivé, naʻe tangutu fakataha ai ha kau ākonga ʻe toko fā mo Sīsū, ʻo fanongo tokanga ʻi he taimi naʻá ne lea ai ʻo fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi fakatuʻutāmaki mo e ngaahi pole te nau fehangahangai mo iá. Ki muʻa hení, naʻe tala ange ʻe Sīsū kiate kinautolu ʻe tāmateʻi ia. (Mātiu 16:21) Naʻá ne fakamahino leva he taimi ko ʻení ko kinautolu foki te nau hokosia ha fakafepaki kakaha. “Te nau tukuange kimoutolu ki he fakamamahi, pea te nau tamateʻi kimoutolu,” ko ʻene leá ia. “Pea te mou fehiʻanekina ʻe he ngāhi kakai kehekehe, ko e meʻa ʻi he hingoa oʻoku.” Naʻe ʻikai ko hono kotoá ia. ʻE takihalaʻi ʻe he kau palōfita loi ʻa e tokolahi. ʻE hoko ʻa e niʻihi kehe ʻo tūkia pea te nau felavakiʻiʻaki mo fetāufehiʻaʻaki. Ko hono moʻoní, ʻe toe ʻi ai mo e niʻihi, ko e “tokolahi,” te nau tuku ke momoko ʻenau ʻofa ki he ʻOtuá mo ʻene Folofolá.—Mātiu 24:9-12.
3. Ko e hā ʻoku fakatupu moʻutāfuʻua moʻoni ai ʻa e ngaahi lea ʻa Sīsū ʻoku maʻu ʻi he Mātiu 24:14?
3 ʻI he hili ʻa e lave ki he ngaahi tuʻunga fakalotosiʻi ko iá naʻe fai leva ʻe Sīsū ha fakamatala ʻa ia kuo pau pē naʻá ne fakatupunga ʻa e kau ākongá ke nau ofoofo ai. Naʻá ne pehē: “Koe ogoogolelei ni oe buleaga e malaga aki i mamani kotoabe, koe mea fakamooni ki he buleaga kotoabe, bea e toki hoko mai ae ikuaga.” (Mātiu 24:14, PM) ʻIo, ko e ngāue ko ia naʻe kamata ʻe Sīsū ʻi ʻIsilelí—ko e “fakamooni ki he mooni”—ʻe hokohoko atu pea ʻe tupulekina ki he ngaahi feituʻu takatakai ʻo e māmaní. (Sione 18:37, PM) Ko ha kikite fakatupu moʻutāfuʻua moʻoni ē! Ke fakalahi atu ʻa e ngāue ko iá ki he “buleaga kotoabe” ʻe hoko ia ko ha pole; ke fai ia ʻi he funga ʻo e “fehiʻanekina ʻe he ngāhi kakai kehekehe” ko ha mana ia. Ko hono lavaʻi ʻa e ngafa kāfakafa ko ʻení ʻe fakahīkihikiʻi ai ʻo ʻikai ko e tuʻunga-mafai aoniu pē ʻo Sihová mo hono mālohí ka ʻoku toe pehē foki ki heʻene ʻofá, mēsí mo e anga-kātakí.

4. Ko hai naʻe tala ke nau fakahoko ʻa e ngāue faifakamoʻoní, pea ko e hā ʻa e fakafiemālie naʻe ʻoange ʻe Sīsuú?
4 Naʻe fakamahino ʻe Sīsū ki heʻene kau ākongá naʻa nau maʻu ha ngāue mātuʻaki mahuʻinga ʻaupito ke fakahoko. Ki muʻa heʻene hāʻele hake ki hēvaní, naʻe hā ʻa Sīsū kiate kinautolu ʻo ne pehē: “Te mou maʻu pe ha mālohi, ʻo ka hifo ʻa e Laumālie Maʻoniʻoni kiate kimoutolu: pea te mou hoko ko ʻeku kau fakamoʻoni, ʻo ʻikai ʻi Selusalema pe, ka ʻi Siutea kātoa, mo Samelia, ʻio, ʻo aʻu ki he ngataʻanga ʻo māmani.” (Ngāue 1:8) Ko hono moʻoní, ʻe vave ʻa e kau mai ʻa e niʻihi kehe kiate kinautolu. Ka neongo ia, naʻe tokosiʻi pē ʻa e kau ākongá.

5. Ko e hā naʻe ʻikai ke ʻilo ʻe he kau ākongá ʻo fekauʻaki mo e ngāue fakaefakamoʻoní?
5 Naʻe ʻiloʻi ʻe he kau ākongá te nau malangaʻi ʻa e ongoongo leleí mo ‘ngaohi ʻa e ngāhi kakai kotoa pe ko e kau ako.’ (Mātiu 28:19, 20) Ka naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo pe ʻe fakaʻauliliki fēfē ʻa hono fai ha fakamoʻoní, pea naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo ʻa e taimi ʻe hoko mai ai ʻa e ngataʻangá. ʻOku ʻikai ke tau ʻilo mo kitautolu ki ai. Ko e ngaahi meʻa ʻeni ia ʻoku ʻa Sihova ʻataʻatā pē ke ne fakapapauʻi. (Mātiu 24:36) ʻI hono fai ʻa e fakamoʻoní ki he hōifua ʻa Sihová, te ne ʻomai leva ha ngataʻanga ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻo e fokotuʻutuʻu fulikivanu ko ʻení. Ko e toki taimi pē ia ʻe ʻilo ai ʻe he kau Kalisitiané kuo lavaʻi ʻa e ngāue fakamalangá ki he lahi naʻe taumuʻa ki ai ʻa Sihová. Naʻe ʻikai malava ke sioloto mai ʻa e muʻaki kau ākonga ko iá ki he lahi ʻo e fakamoʻoni ʻe fai ʻi he taimi ko ʻeni ʻo e ngataʻangá.

Naʻe huaʻi hifo ʻa e laumālie māʻoniʻoni ʻo e ʻOtuá kiate kinautolu, naʻe fai ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Pitá ha malanga fakaueʻiloto ʻo fakamatalaʻi ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻo e mana ko ʻení, pea naʻe hoko ai ha toko 3,000 nai ko e kau tui pea nau papitaiso. Ko e kamatá pē ia. Neongo ʻa e ngaahi feinga fakapapau naʻe fai ʻe he kau taki lotú ke taʻofi ʻa hono malangaʻi ʻa e ongoongo leleí, “naʻe fakaului ʻe he ʻEiki ki [he kau ākongá] ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻa kinautolu kuo kamata moʻui.” Tuaiekemo, “naʻe hoko ʻo toko nima afe nai ʻa e lau ʻo e kau tangata.” ʻI he hili iá, naʻe “fakautuutu ai ʻa e ului mai ki he ʻEiki ʻa ha kakai naʻe tui, ko e fuʻu tokolahi ʻo e kau tangata mo e kau fefine foki.”—Ngāue 2:1-4, 8, 14, 41, 47; 4:4; 5:14.

7 Naʻe toe mātā ha fakalakalaka mahuʻinga ʻi he taʻu 36 T.S.—ko e tafoki ʻo papitaiso ʻa Koliniusi, ko ha Senitailé. ʻI hono tataki ʻa e ʻapositolo ko Pitá ki he tangata manavahē-ʻOtua ko ʻení, naʻe fakahaaʻi ai ʻe Sihova ko e fekau ko ia ʻa Sīsū ke ‘ngaohi ʻa e ngāhi kakai kotoa pe ko e kau akó’ naʻe ʻikai ke fakangatangata pē ia ki he kau Siu ʻi he ngaahi fonua kehekehé. (Ngāue 10:44, 45) Ko e hā ʻa e tali ʻa e faʻahinga naʻe takimuʻá? ʻI he lāuʻilo ʻa e kau ʻapositoló mo e kau tangata matuʻotuʻa ʻi Siuteá naʻe toe fiemaʻu ke fakaaʻu ʻa e ongoongo leleí ki he faʻahinga ko ia ʻo e ngaahi puleʻangá—ʻoku ʻikai ko e kau Siú—naʻa nau fakalāngilangiʻi ʻa e ʻOtuá. (Ngāue 11:1, 18) ʻI he taimi tatau, naʻe hokohoko atu ʻa e fua lahi ʻa e ngāue fakamalangá ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e kau Siú. ʻI ha ngaahi taʻu ki mui mai ai, ngalingali ki he 58 T.S. nai, naʻe tānaki mai ki he kau tui Senitailé ʻa e “gaahi toko mano ʻo e kakai Jiu oku tui.”—Ngāue 21:20, PM.

Ko e pōpoaki Fakatohitapu naʻa nau fanongoá naʻe mālohi. (Hepelu 4:12) Naʻá ne liliu fakaofo ʻa e moʻui ʻa e faʻahinga ko ia naʻa nau maʻu iá. Naʻe fakamaʻa ʻe he faʻahinga tāutahá ni ʻenau moʻuí, ʻai ʻa e angaʻitangata foʻoú, pea hoko ʻo fakalelei mo e ʻOtuá. (Efeso 4:22, 23) Ko e meʻa tatau pē ʻoku hoko ʻi he ʻaho ní. Pea ko e faʻahinga ko ia ʻoku nau tali ʻa e ongoongo leleí ʻoku nau maʻu kotoa ʻa e ʻamanaki fakaofo ʻo e moʻui taʻengatá.—Sione 3:16.

9 Naʻe ʻikai ke taku ʻe he muʻaki kau Kalisitiané ko kinautolu naʻe tupu mei ai ʻa e meʻa naʻe lavaʻí. Naʻa nau ʻiloʻi ko ʻenau ngāue ko e kau faifekaú naʻe tokoniʻi ia ʻe he “malohi oe Laumalie Maonioni.” (Loma 15:13, 19, PM) Ko Sihova ʻa e tokotaha naʻe tupu mei ai ʻa e tupu fakalaumālié. ʻI he taimi tatau, naʻe ʻilo ʻe he kau Kalisitiane ko iá naʻa nau maʻu ʻa e monū mo e fatongia ʻo e hoko “ko e kaungāngāue . . . mo e ʻOtua.” (1 Kolinito 3:6-9) Ko ia ai, ʻi he fehoanaki mo e enginaki ʻa Sīsuú, naʻa nau ngāue tōtōivi ʻi he ngāue naʻe vaheʻi ange kiate kinautolu ke nau faí.—Luke 13:24.
10. Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi feinga naʻe fai ʻe he niʻihi ʻo e muʻaki kau Kalisitiané ke fai ai ha fakamoʻoni ki he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē?
10 ʻI he tuʻunga “ko e aposetolo ʻo e Senitaile,” naʻe fononga ʻa Paula ʻi he kilomita ʻe laui afe ʻi ʻuta mo tahi, ʻo fokotuʻu ʻa e ngaahi fakatahaʻanga lahi ʻi he vahefonua Loma ʻo ʻĒsiá pea ʻi Kalisi. (Loma 11:13) Naʻá ne toe fononga ki Loma pea mahalo pē naʻe aʻu ki Sipeini. Lolotonga iá, ko e ʻapositolo ko Pitá, naʻe tuku kiate ia “ʻa e kosipeli . . . maʻa e kamu,” naʻe fononga ia ʻi he halanga kehe ke ngāue ʻi Pāpilone, ko ha senitā mahuʻinga ʻo e lotu faka-Siú ʻi he taimi ko iá. (Kaletia 2:7-9; 1 Pita 5:13) ʻI he lotolotonga ʻo e faʻahinga kehe tokolahi naʻa nau fakafitefitaʻa ʻi he ngāue ʻa e ʻEikí naʻe ʻi ai ʻa e kau fefine hangē ko Talaifina mo Talaifosa. Ko e toe fefine ʻe taha, ko hono hingoá ko Pēsisi, ʻoku pehē naʻe “lahi ʻene fakafitefitaʻa ʻi he ngaue ʻa e ʻEiki.”—Loma 16:12.

11 Naʻe tāpuakiʻi lahi ʻe Sihova ʻa e ngaahi feinga ʻa e faʻahinga naʻe lave ki aí pea mo e kau ngāue faivelenga kehe. Siʻi hifo ʻi he taʻu ʻe 30 hili ʻa e tomuʻa tala ʻe Sīsū ʻe ʻi ai ha fakamoʻoni ki he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoá, naʻe tohi ʻe Paula ʻo pehē ko e “kosipeli” ne “malangaʻaki ki he meʻa moʻui kotoa pe ʻi he lalo langi.” (Kolose 1:23) Naʻe hoko mai ʻa e ngataʻangá ʻi he taimi ko iá? ʻI ha ʻuhinga, ʻio. Naʻe hoko mai ia ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻo e fokotuʻutuʻu faka-Siú ʻi he taʻu 70 T.S. ʻi hono fakaʻauha ʻe he ngaahi kongakau Lomá ʻa Selusalema fakataha mo e temipalé. Neongo ia, naʻe fakapapauʻi ʻe Sihova ha fakamoʻoni lahi mamaʻo ange ʻe fakahoko ki muʻa ke ne ʻomai ha ngataʻanga ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻo e fokotuʻutuʻu fakamāmani lahi ʻa Sētané.

12. Naʻe anga-fēfē hono mahinoʻi ʻe he muʻaki Kau Ako Tohi Tapú ʻa e fekau ke malangá?
12 ʻI he lolotonga ʻa e konga ki mui ʻo e senituli 19, hili ia ha vahaʻa taimi lōloa ʻo e tafoki fakalotu mei he moʻoní, naʻe toe fokotuʻu ai ʻa e founga lotu maʻá. Ko e Kau Ako Tohi Tapú, hangē ko ia naʻe ʻiloaʻaki ʻa e Kau Fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihová ʻi he taimi ko iá, naʻa nau mahinoʻi lelei ʻa e fekau ke ngaohi ākonga ʻi he kotoa ʻo e māmaní. (Mātiu 28:19, 20) ʻI he aʻu mai ki he 1914, ko e toko 5,100 nai naʻa nau kau longomoʻui ʻi he ngāue fakamalangá, pea naʻe aʻu ʻa e ongoongo leleí ki he ngaahi fonua ʻe 68 nai. Kae kehe, naʻe ʻikai ke makupusi ʻe he muʻaki Kau Ako Tohi Tapú ʻa e ʻuhinga kakato ʻo e Mātiu 24:14. ʻI he aʻu mai ki he konga ki mui ʻo e senituli 19, ko e Tohi Tapú, ʻa ia ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa e ongoongo leleí pe kōsipelí, naʻe liliu ia pea pulusi ʻe he ngaahi sōsaieti Tohi Tapú ʻi he ngaahi lea lahi pea tufaki takai ʻi he māmaní.

13 Faai mai pē, naʻe ʻoange ʻe Sihova ki hono kakaí ha mahino māʻalaʻala ki hono finangaló mo ʻene taumuʻá. (Palovepi 4:18) Naʻe pehē ʻi he Watch Tower ʻo Tīsema 1, 1928: “ʻE lava ke tau pehē [ko e] tufaki ʻo e Tohi Tapú ʻoku fakahoko ai ʻa e malangaʻi ʻo e kōsipeli ʻo e puleʻangá naʻe tomuʻa talá?
