Kapihe’s Prophecy

Kapihe’s Prophecy Spoken about three years before Christian missionaries arrived in the Hawaiian Islands with bibles and scriptures, the prophecy of Kapihe seemed to foretell the abolishment of the kapu and transformation to Christianity and westernization. The last High Priest under the old religion, Hewahewa, served as kahuna for both Kamehameha I and Liholiho (Kamehameha II.) It was quite prophetic that, when he saw the missionaries’ ship off in the distance, he announced ‘The new God is coming.’
