The True God of Hawaiʻi: The Case for ʻĪo

Overview

This book is the culmination of over 35 years of research and interviews. Does Hawaiian culture and religion just come from the Kapu System where there was death with no mercy or grace for those who broke kapu (taboos), like death for men and women who ate together? If so, where did Aloha come from? The volume of evidence in this book for the existence of one benevolent Creator God of Aloha in Polynesia is overwhelming. This book contains the first volume of combined evidence of this God throughout Hawaiʻi and Polynesia.

Perpetuated in Righteousness

Overview

From the ancient Polynesian legends the author traces the history of the Hawaiian people from the beginning of time to the present; documenting their belief in the One Supreme God who created the heavens and the earth; and the first man, Atea, the Kumuhonua. Formed on the sixth day of creation out of the red clay, Atea became a living soul when the Supreme God breathed into his nose. Atea’s wife Owa, Keolakuhonua, was created from his rib.

The legends tell of the One Supreme God’s ongoing battle for the souls of the Hawaiian people, against Ilioha, the giant mo’o (dragon). From the enticement in the garden to the present time, this mo’o continues to use power, greed and selfishness to turn mankind away from the One Supreme God and His only Son, Iesu Kristo.

Painstakingly researched and documented from beginning to end, this is a history book that no one should miss!

“This book is the most important book of our time for Hawai‘i. It is critical that we remember God at this crucial crossroad in the history of our beloved islands.We Hawaiians knew the One True God before the bondage of cruel gods fell upon us. We are a spiritual people, and we know that the spiritual affects the physical. Only He, the True God of the Hawaiian people, can convict those who have done wrong of sin, cause them to repent, and to make right. And only the True God of the Hawaiian people can turn anger, bitterness and hurt into forgiveness and healing. Our God confirmed through Hawaiian prophets that Ies_ Kristo was His Son. Ies_ showed us the way when He, dying on the cross, forgave his tormentors. Our beloved queen, Lili‘uokalani said, ‘No one is free from his own sin until he has forgiven him who has sinned against him.’ There can be no l_kahi (harmony, balance), for our people or these islands without God, for l_kahi comes from God. We must include our God in the current affairs of our islands, or we will be doomed to failure; for only God is righteous, and the life of our land is perpetuated in righteousness.”

“My kupuna (elders) knew there was only One Creator God, they knew him as ‘Io. When the missionaries came, my kupuna listened to what they said carefully. They heard the missionaries speak of the God, Jehovah, from the Bible and knew that the missionaries spoke of the same God. My kupuna realized that the missionaries would not understand this so they kept it within the ‘ohana (family). I would hear my kupuna pray to God and say, “‘Io, you are Jehovah.”

“Marvelous! . . . My excitement deepened the further I journeyed into this fascinating book. If only the other peoples had the kind of clear and compelling picture of redemptive destiny that the Hawaiians now possess. . . . This is what we need done for every people group on earth. Daniel Kikawa and the Hawaiians are showing us the way.”

“I have waited seven years to tell this story. It has taken that long to obtain permission from the matriarch of the `Iokane family to write this story; after all, much of this story is their family legacy, the 800-year-old prophecy and the promise of ‘The One’ that was fulfilled on March 14.1998.

I can now continue in the mission to which God called me many years ago. He told me to, ‘Tell all people that I (God) have this same story of faithfulness and love for them that I have for Hawaii.”

“I have known Daniel Kikawa for 15 years. He had told me the story of the fulfilling of the ancient Hawaiian prophecy many years ago. I am glad to see this important testimony of God’s love for the Hawaiian people finally recorded in writing. Whoever you are, God has left a testimony of His love within the culture and history of your people, too. I hope this book will encourage you to look for it!”
