Repentence

"So he looked and saw three groups of people and each group was of a different size. The first was large, the second small and the third still smaller. "Then the messengers asked him, 'What do you see?' "He answered, 'I saw three groups, the first a large group, the second half as large as the first and the third still smaller.' That is what he said when he answered. "Then they replied, 'Truly you have seen. The groups represent the people of earth. The first group you saw was composed of those who have not repented; the second group was inclined half way, and the third group, the smallest one, was composed of those who have repented. They are protected by the true belief in Gai'wiio `.'"
