Hone Awhe : No ; but it means them. It says there shall come two prophets, and that they will be killed, and after three days they will rise again and 7000 people will be killed. As I could not remember having read a pro- I phecy of this nature I ventured to call the statement' in question, but Hone Awhe was equal to the occasion, and having procured Bibles, a Maori one and an English one, we read together the 13th chapter of the Book of Reve ations, which contains the prophecy to which he referred. The interpretation which is placed on this chapter by Hone Awhe, as taught by the Maori prophets, is that the Court (land) with out the Temple (the Maori country) is to be given to the Gentiles (the pakehas), and is not' to be measured; and that the Holy City fParihaka) will be trodden under foot for 42 months. The 3rd, 4th, and sth verses of the same chapter -are said to describe the power of the two (Maori) prophets, and the 6th, he said, proved that they had the power to prevent war. I asked " who was the beast that was to ascend out of the bottomless pit ?" and was gravely in formed that that meant the Government at Wellington. And bo all the mysterious allusions in the chapter were explained away, or else vanished before the all-devouring credulity of the disciple of the Maori prophets ; who, for further proof that Te Whiti and Tohu were prophets, directed me to read the 4th chapter of Zecharian, and insisted that the 3rd verse and the last four verses of that chapter supported their claims. Although my first contradiction of Awhe's statement had been completely re futed, I ventured to point out that the pro phecy in the 11th chapter of Revelations could not refer to Parihaka as the Holy City, because the Bth verße stated that the bodies of the pro phets should lie in the Great City, whera also Christ was crucified. The objection, however, was met very adroitly.
