Hili hono fakamoʻoniʻi e “nāunau ʻo e ʻAló, ʻi he toʻukupu toʻomataʻu ʻo e Tamaí” (T&F 76:20), naʻe mamata e Palōfita ko Siosefa Sāmitá mo Sitenei Likitoni ki ha meʻa-hā-mai fehangahangai ʻo Sētane pe ko Lusifā. Naʻá na mamata kia Lusifā, ʻa ia naʻe ʻi ai hano tuʻunga maʻu mafai ʻi he maama fakalaumālié, naʻe tō mei he ʻao ʻo e ʻOtuá hili ʻene angatuʻu kiate Iá pea tataki atu ha tokolahi ʻo e fānau fakalaumālie ʻa e ʻOtuá ke nau fai ʻa e meʻa tatau (vakai, ʻĪsaia 14:12; Fakahā 12:7–10; T&F 29:36–37; ʻĒpalahame 3:27–28). Naʻe ʻiloa ʻa Lusifā ko e Malaʻia (vakai, T&F 76:26), ko hono ʻuhingá ko e mole pe ʻauha.
Naʻe fakamanatu kia Siosefa mo Sitenei ko Sētané ko ha tokotaha moʻoni ʻokú ne fakafepakiʻi e ʻOtuá mo kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku fekumi ki he māʻoniʻoní. Naʻe feinga ʻa Sētane ke “toʻo ʻa e puleʻanga ʻo hotau ʻOtuá pea mo hono Kalaisí” (T&F 76:28), pea ʻokú ne hokohoko atu ke fai ia ʻi heʻene “tauʻi ʻa e kau māʻoniʻoni ʻa e ʻOtuá, mo ne kāpui takatakai ʻa kinautolu” (T&F 76:29). Naʻe fakamatala e Palōfita ko Siosefa Sāmitá kimui ange ʻo pehē: “[ʻI he] fekauʻaki mo e puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá, ʻoku fokotuʻutuʻu maʻu pē ʻe he tēvoló hono puleʻangá ʻi he taimi tatau pē ke fakafepaki ki he ʻOtuá” (Ngaahi Akonakí: Siosefa Sāmita, 16).

Hili e mamata tonu e Palōfita ko Siosefa Sāmitá mo Sitenei Likitoni ki he angatuʻu ʻa Lusifaá, naʻe fakahā ange ʻe he ʻEikí kiate kinaua e mamahi ʻa e ngaahi foha ʻo e malaʻiá. Naʻe ʻikai ke na hiki e ngaahi fakaikiiki ʻo e meʻa-hā-maí ka naʻá na lekooti e meʻa naʻe folofola ʻaki ʻe he leʻo ʻo e ʻEikí kau ki he meʻa kuó na mamata ki aí. Naʻe fakamatalaʻi ʻe he ʻEikí ko e ngaahi foha ʻo e malaʻiá ko e niʻihi fakafoʻituitui ia ʻoku nau maʻu ha ʻilo ki he mālohi ʻo e ʻOtuá pea “ngaohi ʻa kinautolu ke nau maʻu ia” ka ʻoku nau tuku ke “ikunaʻi ʻa kinautolu ʻi he mālohi ʻo e tēvoló, pea ke fakaʻikaiʻi ʻa e moʻoní pea angatuʻu ki [he] mālohi [ʻo e ʻOtuá]” (T&F 76:31). ʻIkai ngata aí, ʻoku nau fakaʻikaiʻi “ʻa e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní hili ʻenau maʻu iá” mo fakaʻikaiʻi “ʻa e ʻAlo pē Taha naʻe Fakatupu ʻo e Tamaí” (T&F 76:35).
Naʻe fakamatalaʻi ʻe he Palōfita ko Siosefa Sāmitá ʻi ha ngaahi taʻu hili hono maʻu e meʻa-hā-mai ko ʻení ʻo pehē: “ʻE fakamolemoleʻi ʻa e ngaahi angahala kotoa pē tukukehe e angahala ki he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní; he ʻe fakahaofi ʻe Sīsū e tokotaha kotoa pē tukukehe e ngaahi foha ʻo e malaʻiá.

Kuo pau ke ne fakahaaʻi ʻoku ʻikai toe ngingila e laʻaá ʻi heʻene vakai ki aí; kuo pau ke ne fakaʻikaiʻi ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi ʻi he taimi kuo fakaava ange ai e ngaahi langí kiate iá pea mo fakaʻikaiʻi e palani ʻo e fakamoʻuí lolotonga ʻokú ne mātaʻia hono moʻoní” (ʻi he Manuscript History of the Church, vol.

Ko e ngaahi foha ʻo e malaʻiá kuo nau “fakaʻikaiʻi ʻa e ʻAlo pē Taha naʻe Fakatupu ʻo e Tamaí, kuo nau kalusefai ia ʻi he ʻakau ʻiate kinautolu” (T&F 76:35; vakai foki, Hepelū 6:4–6). Naʻe pehē ʻe ʻEletā Pulusi R.

Ko ia ai ʻoku tutuki foʻou ʻa Kalaisi pea fakamaaʻi fakahāhā Ia. (T. & F. 132:27.)” MormonDoctrine 2nd ed. [1966], 816–17).
Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 76:37. “[Ko e] mate ʻanga uá”
Ko e fānau kotoa pē ʻa e ʻOtuá kuo fāʻeleʻi ki he māmaní, kau ai ʻa kinautolu ʻoku hoko ko e ngaahi foha ʻo e malaʻiá, te nau toe tuʻu mei he faʻitoká pea ikunaʻi e mate fakatuʻasinó ʻo fakafou ʻi he mālohi ʻo e Toetuʻu ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí (vakai, 1 Kolinitō 15:22; ʻAlamā 11:42–45; T&F 88:27–32). ʻIkai ngata pē ʻi he mate fakatuʻasinó, ko e fānau kotoa pē ʻa e ʻOtuá kuo nau aʻusia e nunuʻa ʻo e mate fakalaumālié, pe ko hono tuʻusi mei he ʻao ʻo e Tamaí mo e ʻAló, ʻo “motuhi atu ʻa kinautolu mei he ʻao ʻo e ʻEikí” koeʻuhí ko e Hingá (Hilamani 14:16). ʻOku ikunaʻi foki e mate fakalaumālié, pe fakamavahe mei he ʻOtuá, ʻi he Toetuʻú, ʻa ia te ne fakafoki mai e tokotaha kotoa pē ki he ʻao ʻo e ʻEikí (fakataimi pē) ke fakamāuʻi (vakai, Hilamani 14:15–17).
Hili ʻene toe foki ki he ʻao ʻo e ʻEikí, ʻe aʻusia ʻe he ngaahi foha ʻo e malaʻiá ha mate hono ua. Naʻe fakamatalaʻi ʻe Palesiteni Siosefa Filitingi Sāmita (1876–1972) ʻoku ʻomi ʻe he mate hono uá “ha kapusi fakalaumālie … ʻa ia ʻe taʻofi ai ʻa kinautolu ʻoku kau aí, mei he ʻao ʻo e ʻOtuá pea tuku ke nofo mo e tēvoló mo ʻene kau ʻāngeló ʻi he kotoa ʻo ʻitānití” (Doctrines of Salvation, comp.

Naʻe ʻomi ʻe ʻEletā Pulusi R. Makongikī e ngaahi fakamatala ko ʻení ki he mate hono uá, ʻa ia ʻe hoko pē ki he ngaahi foha ʻo e malaʻiá:
“Ko e mate fakalaumālié ko e kapusi ia mei he ʻao ʻo e ʻEikí, ke taʻofi mei ai e ngaahi meʻa ʻo e māʻoniʻoní, ke taʻofi mei ai e ngaahi ueʻi mo e ngaahi fanafana ʻa e Laumālié” (Mormon Doctrine, 761).
“ʻE faifai pea huhuʻi ʻa e tokotaha kotoa pē mei he mate fakalaumālié tukukehe pē ʻa kinautolu kuo nau faiangahala ki he maté’ (T. & F. 64:7), ʻa ia ko kinautolu ia ʻoku fakataumuʻa ke hoko ko e ngaahi foha ʻo e malaʻiá. ʻOku akoʻi ʻe Sione e meʻá ni ʻaki ʻene pehē ʻe hili e maté pea tukuange hake ʻe heli ʻa e kau pekia ʻi aí, ʻe toe ʻlī [ʻa e maté mo heli] ki he ano ʻo e afí.
