KO E Puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá ko ha kaveinga mahuʻinga lahi ia ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e kau Siú ʻi he taimi naʻe haʻu ai ʻa Sīsū ki he māmaní. (Mātiu 3:1, 2; 4:23-25; Sione 1:49) Kae kehe, ʻi he ʻuluaki taimí, naʻe ʻikai ke mahinoʻi kakato ai ʻe he tokolahi taha ʻo kinautolú ʻa hono lahí mo hono mālohí; pea naʻe ʻikai te nau mahinoʻi ʻe hoko ia ko ha founga-pule fakahēvani.

Neongo ia, naʻá ne ʻomai ʻa e fakapapau ko ení: “Ko ia te ne kataki ʻo aʻu ki he ngataʻanga, ko e toko taha ko ia te ne moʻui.” (Mātiu 24:9-13) Ko e meʻá ni kotoa ʻoku fiemaʻu ai ʻa e faʻahinga feilaulauʻi-kita mo e fakatapui naʻe fakahāhā ʻe he mēsianiti fefonongaʻaki ʻi he pealapeli ʻa Sīsuú. ʻOku ʻi ai ha faʻahinga tāutaha he ʻahó ni ʻoku nau fakahāhā ʻa e tui mo e faivelenga pehē ʻi he kumi ki he Puleʻangá?

(Hepelu 12:1) ʻI he ʻahó ni, ko e moʻoni fekauʻaki mo e ʻOtuá mo hono Puleʻangá ʻokú ne tohoakiʻi mo ueʻi tatau ʻa e kakaí. ʻOku fakamanatu mai ai heni ʻa e fakamatala ʻa Tokoua A. H.
