“Aei te rongorongo ae e Raoiroi ae taekani Iesu Kristo . . “ (Mareko 1:1, Kiribati Catholic Bible.).

Kiibu akanne i eta a taekina te rongorongo ke te euangkerio IBUKIN Iesu Kristo – TAEKANI Iesu – EUANGKERION Iesu!

Ma taekana n angiin B’aibara n I-Matang e kangai: “The beginning of the gospel OF Jesus Christ”, (TNAB,The New Catholic Translation), ae rairana n Kiribati: “Moan teiraken ANA euangkerio Iesu Kristo”

“Ao ngke e a tia n karinaki Ioane n te karabuuti, ao Iesu E nako Kariraira n taekinna te EUANGKERIO IBUKIN UEAN TE ATUA, ao E taku, E a roko taina, e a kaan uean te Atua: raira nanomii, ao kakoauaa te euangkerio” (Mareko 1:14-15, rairairi man te TNAB).

               E ririanna Iesu nakon taabo ni bane n tataekina te Rongorongo ae Raoiroi ibukin Uean te Atua (Good News of the Kingdom of God). E kabwarabwara n taeka n kaikonaki (parables) rongorongon Uean te Atua. E kamanangaiia itingaun (70) mwaane bwa ana kabwarabwara (preaching), ao e tuangiia (commanded them) bwa ana tataekina Uean te Atua (Ruka 10:9, KCB). E kanakoiia ana abotoro, are e moan tei te Ekaretia irouiia, bwa ana tataekina Uean te Atua (Ruka 9:1-2, KPB). Imwiin utina man te mate, ao imwaain waerakena nako Karawa, ao Iesu e bon taekinna (taught) rongorongon Uean te Atua (Mwakuri 1:3, KCB) nakoiia ana reirei.

                Te Kaotioti 11:15, KCB, e taekinna n aron aei: “Bon ana bai ara Uea, ao ana bai naba ana Metia te tautaeka ngkai i aonaba; e na tautaeka n aki toki.” Te B’aibara n I-Matang e kaangai taekana: “The kingdoms of this world are become the KINGDOMS OF OUR LORD, AND OF HIS CHRIST; and he shall reign for ever and ever”. Kabaraana teuana e kangai: “Uean aonaba nikabane ana riki bwa Uean ara Uea, ao ara Kristo; ao e na tautaeka n aki toki.”

                Aei ngkanne ABANUEAN TE ATUA. Ana TOKI tautaeka n taai aikai – eng, ana tautaeka naba Amerika, Buritan Ruutia, Niutiran, Biti, ao Kiribati. Ana bane n riki ba uean – ana TAUTAEKA – ara Uea Iesu Kristo, are e na riki bwa aia UEA uea i aon te aonaaba n te tai anne.

                E nangi teretere ikai bwa UEAN TE ATUA bon teTAUTAEKA ae iai rabatana (literal Government). N aiaron te Embwaea n Tiaritiin (Chaldean Empire) ae bon te aba ni uea (kingdom) – n aiaron te Embwaea n Room ae bon te aba ni uea – ao ABANUEAN TE ATUA (KINGDOM OF GOD) bon te tauataeka (government) naba. E na tauii (take over) nikabaneia tautaekan (governments) aban nako (all nations) te aonaaba.

                E BUNGIAKI Iesu bwa e na UEA (KING) – E na kaira te Tautaeka. Te Tautaeka raa? Te Tautaeka are a bane ni mena i aana tautaekan te aonaaba!

                Ngke e kateaki Iesu bwa e na baereaki maiuna i matan Birato ao “E taku Birato nakoina: Ngaia bon te uea ngkoe? E kangai Iesu nakoina: Ngaia anne ko taku ba te uea ngai. Ibukin aei are I bungiaki iai, ao ibukin aei ae I roko nakon aon te aonaaba.”(Ioane 18: 37 - rairana man te KJV Bible). Ao e taku riki Iesu nakon Birato: “Tiaki mai aon te aba ueau” (kibu 36 - KPB). Rairana teuana e kangai: “Te aonaaba aio tiaki ueau.” E nanonna ikai Iesu bwa ara aonaaba aio ae e onrake n te buakaka ma te riaboro, te iowawa ma te kamaira, bon tiaki ana aonaaba, ma e na manga kamaunaa katein ao anuan te aonaaba aio ao n onea mwiina n Ana aonaaba ae rau, ae tamaroa, ae eti.

            “Tiaki mai aon te aba ueau” (My kingdom is not of this world), e taku Iesu (Ioane 18:36 - KPB). E roko Iesu bwa e na riki ni UEA (kibu 37). Ai kamimiira – ao ai kananokawakira – bwa angin taian kabwarabwara ao rongorongo aika a tataekinaki (gospel preaching)  inanon umantabu (church services) n taai aikai ao e kuri  ni kangaanga bwa kona ongo taekan Iesu Kristo ae e na  manga roko bwa e na Uea (as a coming King) ao e na tautaekana (rule) te aonaaba. Aaba ni uea aika tamnei (spiritual principalities) ao mwaakan te riaboroo (powers of evils) (Ebeto 6:12, KCB) a tautaekana te aonaaba ngkai. Bon ana tautaeka Tatan ae tautaeka ngkai i aon te aonaaba (Satan’s earthly governments) ma e na oki Iesu n urua (destroy) ao n onea mwiina (replace) n ana Kauaoki (Second Coming). Uean Kristo (Christ’s Kingdom) bon TE AONAABA NINGABONG! (THE WORLD TOMORROW!)

                Ko a tiai n wareka te bwai are taekina te anera nakon Nei Maria imwaain are e bungia Iesu? Iesu e tuanga Birato bwa e bon bungiaki bwa e na UEA. Ana anera te Atua e tuanga Nei Maria: “. . . ko na bikoukou, ao ko na bungia natim ae te mane, ao ko na arana ba Iesu. E na kakanato, ao e na aranaki ba Natin Teuare Moan te Rietata. Ao te Uea ae te Atua e na anganna ana KAINTOKANUEA tamana are Tawita: ao e na tautaeka i aon ana auti Iakoba (kaain te aonaaba); ao e na akea tokin UEANA” (Ruka 1:31-33,KCB,).

Ao E waerake (ascended) nakon ana Kaintonuea te Atua (Throne of God), ana Etukoata Tautaekan te Unibweeti  (Makuri 1:9-11; Ebera 1:3; 8:1; 10;12; Kaotioti 3:27).

                E tuku ngkai i karawa Kristo ni karokoa te “tai ae a na bane baai ni kaetaki (restitution) iai” (Makuri 3:19-21, KCB). Nanon te taeka ae ‘restitution’ bon kaokan bwaai nakon are mai imwaaina. Ikai e nanonaki kaokan ana tautaeka te Atua i aon te aonaaba, ao mai ikai e na reke te rau ao te kimwareirei (Utopia).

                N katokin (climax) taian kangaanga aikai aika a na karika kamaunaakin te maiu i aon te aonaaba, ao e na oki Iesu. N te tai aio ao e na roko bwa te Atua ae mimitong. E na roko ma “ana anera nikabaneia”, ma te “maka ma te mimitong ae bati” (Mataio 24:30; 25:31, KCB). E na roko bwa “Te Tia Tautaekania Tan Tautaeka” ao “Aia Uea Uea” (Kaotioti 19:15; 12:5, KCB), bwa e na katea teuana te Tautaeka i aon te aonaaba ao n tautaeka i aoiia aaba ni bane “ma te oko ae te biti” (Kaotioti 19:15; 12:5, KCB). E aera ngkai aaro (churches) tabeua a katukui (omit) kiibu aikai ake rongorongon okin Iesu ao are e na tauateka i aon te aonaaba?

                Ana bon aki! Bwa ana abotoro ni kewe Tatan (2 Korinto 11:13-15) a tia ni mamanaia ekaretia nako bwa angkoa e a roko te Anti-Christ. Taian ekaretia nako ao tautaeka ana maraki nanoia n okina (Kaotioti 11:15,18, KCB), ao taanga-ni-buaka (military) ana kataia ni buakanna (try to fight him)! (Kaotioti 17:14, KCB).

E na tokanikai i aoia (Kaotioti 17:14, KCB). “E na tei i aon te maunga Oriwa,” ae bon tau raroana i mainikuni Ierutarem (Tekaria 14:4, KCB).

                Ko kan ata rongorongon te buaka anne – ao teraa ae e na riki nakoiia aia taanga ni buaka aomata?

                N te Kaotioti 17, ao ana taanga ni buaka te botanaomata ae moana ni kakateaki ngkai ae te United States of Europe – te Embwaea n Rom ae manga kautaki (resurrected Roman Empire), e taekinaki bwa, “A na buakana te Tibutetei (Lamb – Christ), ma e tokanikai te Tibutetei i aoia: ba bon te tia Tautaekaniia tan tautaeka (Lord of lords), ao aia Uea ueea (King of kings). . .” (kibu 14).

A na mka rabataia, a na mka mataia ma neweia” (Tekaria 14:12, KCB), ao taekana teuana: “Ao aio te aoraki ae kamamate ae E na oroi’a botanaomata iai ni kabaneia Iehova ake a buakana Ierutarem: a na riki ni mka irikoia ngkana a tabe ni tei i aoni waeia, ao a na mka naba mataia n nibaia, ao a na mka naba neweia i nanoni wi’a” (Tekaria 14:12, KPB).

N aron rongorongon Iesu, are e kautaki man te mate, ao e uotakirake nako karawa n te nang (clouds), ao ai arona naba ngkana e oki nako aon te aonaaba - i aon te nang (Makuri 1:9-11; Mataio 24: 30, KCB).

E na Kamawaaki Tatan n Tokin te Tai

Te bong ae nangi kakawaki aei mai buakon ana bong te aonaaba – ruon Kristo ae mimitong ao moan te kakannato i aon nang – e na katoka maiun te tautaeka – ae tautaeka i aon te aonaaba - ae e aki nooraki (invisible rule) ae ana tautaeka Tatan, are te tia mamanaia aomata.

                Rokon Iesu, ae mimitong, bwa e na tautaekaniia taan tautaeka (King of kings) ao n riki bwa aia Uea ueea (Lord of lords) e bon koreaki n te boki ae Kaotioti mwakorona 19. Ma teraana te bwai ae e na riai ni karaoaki imwaain ae e na iai te RAU, te KUKUREI ao te KIMWAAREIREI i aon te aonaaba? E riai ni kamawaaki (removed) Tatan te Riaboroo man kaintokanuean te aonaaba (throne of the earth).

E a kaman koreaki aei n bokin te Kaotioti 20: “Ngkanne I nora temanna te anera n ruo mai karawa. E taua i nanoni baina kingin te kinono (bottomless pit) ao te taurekereke (chain) ae e ababaki.

E nang toki ana mwakuri Tatan ni katanoata (broadcast) inanon te eea (air) nakon tamnein te aomata (spirit of man) are iannon te aomata.

Ma aomata aika maiu n te tai anne e na bon aki bua anuan Tatan irouia bwa e a tia n riki inanoiia bwa kateia.

E kaotia te Atua bwa Ierutarem e na riki bwa ana kabitare ao nen te okinibai ao riki ana kabitare te maiu n tamnei i aon te aonaaba.

                “E na raweb’aia te Atua te aomata? Ma kam bon raweb’aiai. Ao kam kangai, Ti raweb’aiko ni baika ra? (Maraki 3:8, KPB). “Kam [raweb’aiai] ni kabuian ami bai ao n ami angabai.

                E na kakoroi bukin bwaai aikai te Atua.

                Atuara bon Tamara are i karawa ae te birioneea. “Au b’ai te koora,” e taku (Akai 2:8).

                Ao te Atua e tangiria bwa natina ni kabane a na toro ni b’ai (prosper). “Ngkoe ae ko tangiraki, I tangiriko ba ko na kabaia ni bāi ni kabane, ao e na tautauaki maurim . . .” (III Ioane 2, KPB). E taku Kristo, “I roko ba e na reke te maiu i rouia, ao e na bati (more abundantly) n reke i rouia” (Ioane 10:10, KPB).

                E tangiria te Atua bwa e na babane raoi (fullness), e na bati (abundance) kanoan maiura ni kabane.

                Ao taraia moa kaub’ai ae ko kinaia. A boni kukurei raoi? N aron ana taeka J. Paul Getty, temanna mai buakoiia taiani kaub’ai n te aonaaba, “N na anganako kaub’aiu ni kabane, tii bukin teuana maiu n taanga (marriage) ae kakukurei!”

                N Abanuean te Atua, ao e na bane ni tauaki ana taeka. E na riki bwa kairan te aro ni bitiniti, te okinibai, ao tararuaan biribirin te m’ane n te aonaaba ni kabuta.

                Ao ni kabane a na aanaki (basis) n te angaanga (giving). E taku Kristo, “Anga, ao kam na anganaki: kam na anganaki te baire ae e koro raoi, ae e ibe, ae e tokaki, ae e taonako. Ba te baire ae kam babaire iai nakoia aomata, ao e na babaireaki naba iai nakoimi” (Ruka 6:38, KCB).

                Te aro n angaanga e na iraki n ana tautaeka te Atua – tiaki te aonikai, te kewe, te tiaka, te kamaraato, te “rake”, te “uouo”, te “kaboi arara”, te “kabutib’ai” are taian maan ngkai i bukin tangiran te m’ane ae bubura n te aro ae waekoa.

                Ma ngkana e raira nanoiia aomata te Atua n korakorana – ngkana e a kakoroa nanon ana berita: “Ngkai iai ngai, ao ana bane bubuaniwae ni katorobubua nako Iu, ao a na bane newe ni karaoiroa te Atua” (I-Rom 14:11, KPB), ngkana e taobaraanako nanoiia (tamneiia) ni kamoamoa aomata – ao ngkanne a nang konaa ni anga.

                E taku te Atua rinanon Mote: “Kam na aki kakaraoa ae ti kakaraoia ngkai n te tabo aei, ba bon te irira nanona te aomata” (Tua Kaua 12:8, KCB). Ao e taku riki: “Kam na aki mane ni katotongia man aki irarang irouia atuaia (pagan religious customs). Tai titiraki aroia n taromauri ni kani kakairi irouia. Tai katotongia ngkana kam taromauria [te Uea ae Atuam], ba moani te riribaki iroun te Uea aroia (abominations) ni kabane nakoia atuaia” (Tua Kaua 12:30-31).

                N boong aikai ao akana a taku bwa Kristian a bon aki butimaea ana Boong te Atua aika Tabu (God’s Holy Days; a tabu nakoina, ma e ribaaki i roun te “Kristian” ae e mamanaaki, ao a karinea riki aia boong beekan – te Christmas, New Years, Easter ao tabeua riki – aika “riribaki iroun te Uea”!

Ni Kabane Ana Kawakina Ana Boong ni Bootaki te Atua

E nangi toki aroia aomata ni kamatakiiaki ao ni mamanaaki man ana koaua te Atua ao kawaina. Ao e na kamatoaa te ongotaeka (obedience) nakon kateina (customs).

                Ti na okira Tekaria 14.

                “A na bane nikiraia kaini botanaomata nako, ake a tia ni buakana Ierutarem ni waerake nako iai ni katoa ririki ba a na taromauria te Uea ae [te Atua] ae Moan te M’aka, i bukin te toa ae Toan Umanrianna” (kibu 16).

                Te toa ae Toan Umanrianna aio bon teuana mai buakoni itiua ana bong te Atua aika Tabu are e a bon tia n anganiia ana boatnaomata. Ma Iteraera ni kawai e kaaitara. A aki kan butimaea ana boong ni Bootaki (Festivals) nako te Atua, ao a karinea riki aia bong ni bootaki beekan. Kaain I-Iutaia (Jews), imuin Etera ao Nemia, a bon kawakinii. Ma, mitinare ni kewe n aaro n “Kristian” tabeua a taetaekina bwa ana Bootaki nako te Atua bon “kanoan ana tua Mote – tiaki i bukira n boong aikai.” Mitinare aikai a bon mamanaaia (deceive) aomata ao a karikiaa bwa ana inanonano (prejudiced). A mamanaaki aomata bwa ana kakoauaa bwa te Christmas, New Years, Easter, etc,. boni boong aika e a tia ni katabui (ordained) Kristo.

                Ma ngkai e nangi oki Kristo nako aon te aba ao e nangi kaoka (restore) ana kawai te Atua – ma ana boong ni Bobotaki. Akan a a bon rawa ni kawakin ana Boong te Atua aika Tabu ngkai, a kawaerakea bwairiia ma te b’ab’ai ni ngare – ana karinea man kawakina ngkana e oki Kristo. Noora te taekan te kibu aio: “Ngkana iai te botanaomata ae e aki waerake nako Ierutarem n taromauria te Uea ae [te Atua] ae Moan te M’aka, ao e na aki baka te karau i abana.

Boni anne rekenikaia I-Aikubita ma botanaomata nako aika rawa ni kaea te toa anne” (Tekaria 14:17-19, KCB).

Te kibu aio e kaota ana kairi Kristo ma te kai ni kataetre (rod of iron) – ao m’aakana are e na kabonganaa ni kairiia botanaomata ni kabane nakon ana kawai aika eti – kawai aika a karekea te kakabaiaaki.

                Rekena teutana e a tia n taekinna te buraabeti ae Mika: “Ao ni bong aika kaitira ao e na kateimatoaki maungani maneaban Ierutarem i aon taubukini maunga, ao e na karietataki riki nakon tabuki; ao a na bane natanaomata nako aona [nanona}” (Mika 4:1, KPB).

                Taeka ni burabeti a kabongana te “maunga” (mountains) bwa tamnein te botanaomata ae bubura, ao te “tabuki” (hills) bwa tamnein botanaomata aika uarereke mwaitiia (smaller nations).

Ti na reitia:

                “Ao a na nako botanaomata aika bati ao a na kangai, Kam na kāraki, ao ti na ararake nakon ana maunga Iehova (Lord), ao nakoni maneaban Atuan Iakoba; ao ane E na reireira ana aro nako, ao ti na nakonako ni kawaina nako: ba e na oti nako te tua (law) mai Tion, ao ana taeka (word) Iehova mai Ierutarem.

                Te ataib’ai (knowledge) aei – te reirei aei – ao ataakin ana tua te Atua – e na nako man te Ekaretia (Church) – ao mai Ierutarem (Jerusalem), ana kabitare ae boou te aonaaba (world capital).

Uringnga riki aron ana mwakuri te Atua are te ka-taboro (duality). N aron are e a tia n taekina Iesu n ana boki Mataio, te taeka ni burabeti are e koreaki n Maraki 3:1 e bon kaineti nakon Ioane te Tia Babetito; ma ngkana ko bon reitaa nako am wareware man te kibu 5, ao e na mataata bwa te taeka ni burabeti aei e bon taekina rongorongon temanna ae e na katauroa te kawai imwaain ana Kauaoki Krsito:

                Bon oin raoi bukina ngkai e na manga okin Kristo nako aon te aba bon bukin karikirakean anuan te atua (godly character) iroun te aomata, ao e na kamaiuia (save) kaain te aonaaba.

E riai n mwakoro “te tai ni kamaiu,” tiaki “te bong” (ae e anaaki man Itaia 49:8, are e koreaki “te tai” ao tiaki “te bong). “Te tai” ni kamaiu e kaotia bwa e riaon tii teuana te bong ni kamaiu: “te bong” ni kamaiu e kaotia bwa bon tii teuana bongin te kakamaiu.

Tao ngke e bon kataia Kristo bwa e na “kamaiuiia” kaain te aonaaba, ao e na bon kaman tia ni kamaiua ni kabane. Ma e bon tuai ni kamaiuaki te aonaaba. Ana kangaara ni kamaiuaki kaain te aonaaba ngkana a bane ni kakaokoro aia ekaretia, aia aro, aia koaua, are, aongkoa a “kamaiuaki” mai iai?

                Ao kabaraana teuana, n tain te Great White Throne Judgment imuin te mireniam, ao Iteraera n te O-Tetemanti e na kautaki: ao ngkanne a nang “ataa te Atua.” E nang roko irouiia ataakin te Atua.
