Mātiu 25:14–46

Teuteu ki he Toe Hāʻele Mai ʻa e ʻEikí.

Resurrected Christ with arms outstretched stands above a throng of people of all races and times, some prone, some standing. The people on the right side of Christ are in the attitude of worship. The people on the left side of Christ are in anguish. Scenes of ruin are in the foreground and background. The Washington D.C. temple is pictured in the upper left corner.

Naʻe akoʻi ʻe he Fakamoʻuí ʻa e talanoa fakatātā ʻo e ngaahi talēnití mo e talanoa fakatātā ʻo e fanga sipí mo e fanga kosí ke tokoni ke ʻilo ʻe Heʻene kau ākongá ʻa e founga ke mateuteu ai ki Heʻene Hāʻele ʻAnga Ua Maí. ʻE lava ke tokoni atu ʻa e lēsoni ko ʻení ke ke ʻiloʻi ʻa e ngaahi moʻoni mei he ngaahi talanoa fakatātā ko ʻení mo tokoniʻi koe ke ke teuteu ki he Hāʻele ʻAnga Ua Mai ʻa e Fakamoʻuí.
