Editor,

I wish to thank Joe Smith for his comments on the following issues, about myself and my patriotism with Tonga, about human beings with guns and evil minds called Terrorists and insurgents, about the Chinese and their spying satellite system, and Sione Kava and his loyalty to the USMC. I am wondering a Transparency to what?

Tonga already belongs to Almighty God in Heaven it is he whom reigns over the Kingdom. What I talk about is spiritual not material which is far more powerful than all the nuclear weapons ever created by man it is not of this Earth what Tongans believe and trust in. We are now living in what the Holy Bible calls ...“The End times...” in the book of Revelations and the Book of Daniel Chapter 12: verses 1-13

I understand that we also live in a time where evil persists and the Tribulation is due to begin. I am wondering as a Christian and as a fellow Tongan where this so call Transparency comes from the only Transparency that Christians understand is good always triumphs over evil. We can agree to disagree but unless you take Gods side one does not see much or understand much at all.

Since 1950 Einstein, Openheimer and many scientists found the formulae to harness the nuclear atom, we now live in a world where over 12 countries which includes the USA, Isreal, China, Pakistan, India, Russian Federation to be joined by Iran, North Korea to have the capability and technological means of destroying the Earth 40 times over in a global nuclear confrontation of which it only take 30 minutes for a launched ICBM from both the western and eastern hemisphere to reach and destroy every city where No-one will survive the next holocaust.

Tonga was not built like the USA on the strength of its Military or it...’s Police Force but built on the Gospel and strength of Christianity, not on materialism of things to be lost but on faith and not on fear where men are able to take life as in Matthew Chapter 10: verse 28 Jesus says ...“Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul, Rather be afraid of the one who can destroy both soul and body in hell...”

But guns and bad hearts can never take away the spirit and all that is good about the Kingdom of Tonga it is the fear of God and his Kingdom to come that most Tongans now look forward to; The Tribulation is upon us Thessalonians Chapters 4-5 ...“For no one knows of the hour or the day...” a sign of things to come.

Tonga it was built on the mighty hand of God himself on that faithful day the Christian Missionaries came to Tonga in 1822-1842 to bring the Good News of Jesus Christ to the people. It is on the Tongan flag which symbolizes our Christianity and what we stand for as a constitutional monarchy as a people and a nation.

Tongans choose to respect and love their monarchy not because they are just royal but they represent what God himself has put in place it is the reason we respect them Tonga'’s democracy is built on sacrifice and loyalty, Tongans have always cherished their rights has a free people.

In the 17th Century before Captain James Cook came the Friendly Islands in 1776 it was sacrifice through tribal wars that eventually unified the Kingdom as one people, our fear is not of military insurgents, guns or weapons of mass destruction BUT of the Almighty Judgement of God in Heaven it is he whom true Tongans fear the most something unseen, spiritual and the creator of all life.

On the U.S dollar bill it is described that in God we Trust well has for Tongans it is in God that we truly rely on in times of crisis, our future will always be defined by the trust we have in our faith in Almighty God whom delivers our nation. So while some will be choosing to hide underground in the bunker many of us Tongan Christians will be with the Lord when he comes.

I wondering Joe have you given your life to Jesus yet? I'’ll leave the answer between you and him.

God Bless
