“Ko Hai ʻe Faʻa Tuʻu Ai?”

A family gathers inside the Conference Center. They are looking at a statue of the Christus.

Naʻe mamata ʻa e ʻAposetolo ko Sioné ‘i he konga ‘o ‘ene maʻu fakahaá ki ha meʻa-hā-mai ʻo e Lami ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻokú Ne fakaava ʻa e ʻuluaki meʻa fakamaʻu ʻe ono ʻo e tohi kuo fakamaʻú. ʻI hono fakaava ʻo e meʻa fakamaʻu hono onó, naʻe fakahā kia Sione ha ngaahi faingataʻa lahi, ne hoko mai ai mo ha vīsone ki he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻa ia kuo nau maʻa ʻo fakafou ʻi he taʻataʻa fakalelei ʻo e Fakamoʻuí ʻi heʻenau moihū ki he ʻafioʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá (vakai ki he Fakahā 7:9–15). ʻE lava ke tokoniʻi koe ʻe he lēsoni ko ʻení ke ke ongoʻi ʻa e mahuʻinga ʻo e falala kia Sīsū Kalaisí ke ke hoko ʻo haohaoa mo faivelenga lolotonga ʻa e ngaahi faingataʻa ʻo e ngaahi ʻaho fakaʻosí.

Ko e fakaava ‘o e ʻuluaki meʻa fakamaʻu ʻe onó

ʻI hoʻo tohinoa akó, tali ai e ngaahi fehuʻi ko ení:

Ko e hā ha ngaahi meʻa ʻokú ke hohaʻa ki ai fekauʻaki mo e moʻui ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho fakaʻosí? Ko e hā hono ʻuhingá?
Ko e hā ha meʻa ʻokú ke vēkeveke ki ai fekauʻaki mo e moʻui ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho fakaʻosí? Ko e hā hono ʻuhingá?

A modern replica of an ancient papyrus scroll, folded and sealed with multiple clay seals. Sealing an ancient document in this way identified its owner and his authority, made the document legally binding, and protected it from unauthorized disclosure. Jesus Christ’s role as the only person worthy to open and read the sealed book in Revelation 5 highlights His authority as the executor of God’s plan of salvation.

Manatu ʻi he Fakahā 5 , naʻe mamata ʻa Sione ki ha tohi naʻe fakamaʻu ʻaki ha meʻa fakamaʻu ʻe fitu pea ko Sīsū Kalaisi pē naʻe taau ke fakaava iá. Naʻe fakafofongaʻi ʻe he meʻa fakamaʻu takitaha ha vahaʻataimi ko e taʻu ʻe 1,000 ʻo e hisitōlia fakamatelie ʻo e māmaní (vakai ki he Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 77:7). ʻI he kamataʻanga ʻo e Fakahā 6:12 , naʻe mamata ʻa Sione ki hono fakaava ʻo e meʻa fakamaʻu hono onó. ʻOku fakafofongaʻi ʻe he meʻa fakamaʻu hono onó ʻa e taʻu ʻe tahaafe ʻo aʻu ki he Hāʻele ʻAnga Ua Mai ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí pea ʻoku ngalingali ʻoku kau ai ʻa e taimi ʻoku tau lolotonga moʻui aí.

Ke maʻu ha fakamatala mo ha ngaahi fakaʻuhinga ki he ngaahi fakataipe naʻe fakamatalaʻi ʻe Sione ki he ʻuluaki meʻa fakamaʻu ʻe onó (vakai ki he Fakahā 6:1–11), vakai ki he “Revelation 6. The First Six Seals” ʻi he New Testament Student Manual (2014), 542–43.

Lau ʻa e Fakahā 6:12–16 , ʻo kumi ha niʻihi ʻo e ngaahi meʻa ne hoko naʻe mamata ki ai ʻa Sione lolotonga hono fakaava ʻo e meʻa fakamaʻu hono onó.

Ko e hā ʻoku makehe kiate koe mei he ngaahi veesi ko ʻení?
Ko e hā ʻokú ke ako mei he veesi 15–16 fekauʻaki mo e tuʻunga fakalaumālie ʻo ha tokolahi ʻoku nau moʻui lolotonga hono fakaava ʻo e meʻa fakamaʻu hono onó?

Lau ʻa e Fakahā 6:17 pea fakakaukau ke fakaʻilongaʻi ʻa e fehuʻi ʻi he veesi ko iá.

Te ke toe fakalea fēfē nai e fehuʻi ‘a Sioné ʻi he lea pē ʻaʻau?
ʻOkú ke pehē ko e hā ʻa e tali ki he fehuʻi ʻa Sioné?

Neongo ʻa e kikiteʻi ʻo e fakaʻauhá mo e faiangahalá lolotonga e ngaahi ʻaho fakaʻosí, fakakaukau ki he meʻa kotoa kuo fai ʻe he ʻEikí pea ʻoku lolotonga fakahoko ke tokangaʻi Hono Kāingalotú ʻi he teuteu ki Heʻene toe hāʻele mai ki he māmaní.

Ko e hā kuo fai ʻe he Fakamoʻuí pea ko e hā ʻokú Ne fai he taimí ni ke teuteuʻi mo maluʻi Hono Kāingalotú?

ʻI he hoko atu hoʻo akó, kumi e ngaahi akonaki ʻe lava ʻo tokoni atu ke ke tali e fehuʻi ʻi he Fakahā 6:17 . Fakakaukau ki he founga ʻe lava ke tokoniʻi ai koe ʻe hoʻo falala kia Sīsū Kalaisí ke ke ongoʻi ʻa e melinó mo e fiefiá ʻi hoʻo feinga ke kātakiʻi ʻa e ngaahi faingataʻa fakalaumālie mo fakatuʻasino ʻo e ngaahi ʻaho kimui ní.

ʻOku mamata ʻa Sione ki he teuteu ki he Hāʻele ʻAnga Ua Maí mo ha mata meʻa-hā-mai ki he puleʻanga fakasilesitialé

ʻI he Fakahā 7 , naʻe mamata ʻa Sione ki ha kau ʻāngelo ʻe toko fā naʻe fekauʻi mai mei he ʻOtuá ʻa ia ʻoku nau maʻu ʻa e mālohi ke fakatou fakahaofi mo fakaʻauha ʻa e moʻui ʻi he māmaní (vakai ki he Fakahā 7:1 ; Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 77:8). Naʻe tomuʻa mamata ʻa Sione ki he teuteu ʻa e kau ʻāngelo ko ʻení ke lilingi hifo ʻa e fakaʻauha ki he māmaní ʻi he teuteu ki he Hāʻele ʻAnga Ua Mai ʻa e Fakamoʻuí. Naʻá ne mamata foki ki hono maluʻi ʻo e kau mēmipa ʻo e faʻahinga ʻo ʻIsilelí (vakai ki he Fakahā 7:1–8 ; 9:3–4). Naʻá ne mamata leva ki ha vīsone ʻo e puleʻanga fakasilesitialé.

Lau ʻa e Fakahā 7:9–12 , ʻo kumi e founga naʻe fakamatalaʻi ʻaki ʻe Sione ʻa e kakai ʻi he puleʻanga fakasilesitialé.

Ko e kakai ʻe toko fiha naʻe mamata ki ai ʻa Sioné, pea ko e hā ʻoku mahuʻinga aí?
Ko e hā ʻoku makehe kiate koe fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi lea mo e tōʻonga ʻa e kakai ko ʻení?

Hokó, lau ʻa e Fakahā 7:13–14 pea kumi e ngaahi tāpuaki ʻi he kahaʻú ʻoku fakatatali maʻá e kau faivelengá mo e meʻa naʻe malava ai ʻa e kakaí ʻo hū ki he ʻao ʻo e ʻOtuá.

ʻOku tokoni fēfē ʻa e ngaahi veesi ko ʻení ke tali e fehuʻi ʻoku ʻomi ʻi he Fakahā 6:17 ?

Fakahā 7:1 . Ko e hā ʻa e misiona mo e fakataipe ʻo e kau ʻāngelo ʻe toko faá?

ʻOku fakamatala ʻa e Fakahā 7:1 ki he kau ʻāngelo ʻe toko fā, ko e ngaahi tuliki ia ʻe fā ʻo e māmaní, pea mo e ngaahi matangi ʻe fā ʻo e māmaní. ʻOku faʻa fokotuʻu mai ʻe he fika fā ʻi he ngaahi folofolá ha kakato ʻo e feituʻu fakasiokālafí, ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi fakahinohino ʻe fā ʻi ha kāpasá. Naʻe foaki ki he kau ʻāngelo ko ʻení ʻa e misiona ke fakatukupaaʻi ʻa e ongoongolelei taʻengatá ki he “puleʻanga kotoa pē, faʻahinga, lea, mo e kakai kotoa pē” ( Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 77:8).

Fakahā 7:2–8 . Ko hai ʻa e faʻahinga ʻe 144,000 ʻo ʻIsilelí, pea ko e hā naʻe fakaʻilongaʻi ʻi honau laʻé?

Naʻe fakamatalaʻi ʻe he ʻEikí kia Siosefa Sāmita ʻi he Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 77:11 ko e fika 144,000 naʻe lau ki ai ʻi he Fakahā 7:4–8 ko e fika ia ʻo e kau fakafofonga mei he faʻahinga ʻe toko hongofulu mā ua ʻo ʻIsilelí ʻa ia ʻe fakanofo ke tokoniʻi e niʻihi kehé ʻi heʻenau feinga ki he hakeakiʻí. ʻOku ʻikai hangē ia ko e tui ʻa ha kakai ʻe niʻihi, ko e fakakātoa ʻo e kakai ʻe hakeakiʻí.

Fekauʻaki mo hono fakaʻilongaʻi ʻo e “kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa e … ‘Otuá ʻi honau foʻi laʻé” ( Fakahā 7:3), naʻe akoʻi ʻe he Palōfita ko Siosefa Sāmitá ʻokú ne “fakaʻilongaʻi ʻa e fakamaʻu ʻo e tāpuakí ki honau ʻulú, ʻo ʻuhinga ki he fuakava taʻengatá” (ʻi he History, 1838–1856 [Manuscript History of the Church], volume E-1, 1690, josephsmithpapers.org).

Te u lava fēfē ʻo kamata ʻa e ngāue ki hono fō hoku pulupulú ke hinehina “ʻi he taʻataʻa ʻo e Lamí”? ( Fakahā 7:14)

Naʻe akonaki ʻa ʻEletā Lini A. Mikoloseni ʻo e Kau Fitungofulú ʻo pehē:

Ko hotau fatongiá ke fai e ngāue ʻo e fakatomalá. Kuo pau ke tau liʻaki ʻetau ngaahi angahalá kae lava ke kamata hono fakamaʻa kitautolú. Ko e talaʻofa ʻa e ʻEikí te Ne fakamaʻa hotau ngaahi kofú ʻaki Hono taʻataʻá [vakai ki he Fakahā 7:14 ]. Naʻá Ne foaki ʻEne moʻuí pea mamahi maʻa ʻetau ngaahi angahala kotoa pē.

ʻE lava fēfē ke u maʻu ʻa e mālohi mo e maluʻi ʻoku foaki ʻe he Fakamoʻuí ki Hono Kāingalotú lolotonga e ngaahi ʻaho fakaʻosí?

ʻI he 1 Nīfai 14:12–17 , naʻe mamata ʻa Nīfai ki he faiangahalá mo e fakaʻauha ʻo e ngaahi ʻaho fakaʻosí pea naʻe “fakamahafu [ʻa e Kāingalotú] ʻaki ʻa e māʻoniʻoní pea mo e mālohi ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻi he fuʻu nāunau lahi” ( veesi 14). ʻI heʻene lea kau ki he founga te tau lava ai ʻo fakamahafu kitautolu ʻaki ʻa e ngaahi tāpuaki tatau ko iá, naʻe fakamatalaʻi ʻe Palesiteni Henelī B. ʻAealingi ʻo e Kau Palesitenisī ʻUluakí ʻo pehē:

Ko ʻetau feinga maʻu pē ke fakatomala pea kole ki he ʻEikí ke “ngāue ʻaki ʻa e taʻataʻa fakalelei ʻo Kalaisí koeʻuhi ke [tau] lava ʻo maʻu ha fakamolemole ʻo [ʻetau] ngaahi angahalá” ( Mōsaia 4:2). Ko ʻetau lotu mo ngāue mo fakamoʻoni mo fakamālohia [ʻetau] tui kia Sīsū Kalaisí.
