Posted 8-8-2017

Hello my friends!

It has been a month since I have written you. Our numbers have also dwindled now to twelve total including myself. You have access to this because you have sustained me as the only one through whom revelation to the Church of the Firstborn comes, or is verified. This was required by Heavenly Mother. Thank you for your support! If you feel otherwise, please write me.

This last month I have received some very great and wonderful revelations about the New Jerusalem. I hope that you will read this very long post, and pray about it to confirm its truth. God has asked that I only share it with you for the time being. Please do not share with others except for those who also have received an email.

I would love to hear your comments and feelings about all of this too.

Much love,
R

P.S. Recently I have had a rebirth in my appreciation of flowers, their beauty and smell!  I have included pictures I took of some of those in our yard that were blooming during July and August.

A. R's Personal Journal Entry, 7-9-2017 Sunday

1. I sent out my most recent post last night. I have no expectations what will happen to my support among the individuals I sent this email post to (37 individuals). I have requested an email back from those who agree or are open to my views, who still want to receive these emails. I told them I have been asked for them to sustain me as the only one through whom revelation to the Church of the Firstborn will come and be verified. I referred to my journal entry of 7-6-2017.

2. In my morning prayer today, I felt to write the words that my Heavenly Mother would speak to me. Both she and Heavenly Father were before me, at the lookout point facing southeast, to the fountain of living waters and the temple, and the tree of life. She and Heavenly Father had happy faces for me, and stood before me as I was kneeling.

3. Here are the words from my Heavenly Mother–





6. I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her love and support, and the message she gave to me just now. I felt that those who don't respond by email to me would soon lose their connection with their unconscious self, if they had any connection before. I believe they will tend to forget also all that I have shared with them, so that it all becomes foggy and unclear in their minds, even that they were a mortal angel.

7. Later, after sacrament meeting:

My wife and I went to a sacrament meeting. During the sacrament, we sang from Hymns 175, 'Oh God the Eternal Father'. I felt to go then above Lake Beautiful, in the sky in the celestial kingdom, and there meet my Heavenly Parents. After this, the first line of the hymn that we sang stated 'Oh God, th'Eternal Father who dwells amid the sky.' I was in the sky, just like the opening line of the hymn!

8. I sang the hymn, the priest blessed the bread, and then I made my covenant to take upon me the name of Jesus Christ, to always remember my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother, and to keep their commandments.

I waited and my Heavenly Parents came to me, from the south where I was facing. They had bright, smiling faces. They stood before me.

9. Once I partook of the bread, Heavenly Father spoke to me:




13. I thanked my Heavenly Father, and asked him what being in hiding or working in secret really meant. He responded:

B. R's Personal Journal Entry, 7-10-2017 Monday

1. This morning I received an email from J.W. and M.A. , asking me the same question! They may have been talking together. They both asked about 2 Nephi 21:2–'the Spirit of the Lord.'

2. Here is John's email:





3. M.A. asked me in her email to interpret 'the spirit of'. She also said the verse 2 Nephi 21:2 listed all the virtues of the counsel.

Here is the original verse from Isaiah 11:1-2–


5. I prayed this morning, and asked this question:

Q– In Isaiah 11:1 (2 Nephi 21:1), if John the Beloved is the rod, Christ is the stem of Jesse, who is the branch? Also, in verse 2, is the 'spirit of the Lord' correctly interpreted as the 'angel of the Lord'? Who is this angel, or this spirit? Is this the counsel of the angels?
6. A– From Heavenly Mother:




11. Excerpt from page 190, 'Visions of Glory':


12. I thanked my Heavenly Mother for this clarification and revelation of these verses! I feel enlightened by her clear explanation, as I have written this down in my journal this morning.

13. I then asked my Heavenly Parents who was the angel of might in verse 2? I had matched L with wisdom, M.A. with Understanding, John with Counsel, and J.D. with Knowledge, but I wasn't sure of Might.

14. From Heavenly Mother:

C. R's Personal Journal Entry, 7-11-2017 Tuesday

1. I had a prayer last night where I asked a question posed by M.A.. I was in the mortal probation chapel in the temple, before the vision mural in which I play my mortal role. My Heavenly Parents came from the elevated stand, walking towards me until they were in front of me.

2. Q– At Adam-Ondi-Ahman, why did all those holding keys need to return them to Jesus Christ, since he already had all the keys in the first place, and kept these keys himself even after they were conferred upon his prophets?
A– From Heavenly Mother:



I thanked her for this information she gave me. It was late, and I was quite tired in my physical body, and ended my prayer.




4. This morning, I drank of the living waters at the fountain immediately north of the temple, from which flows the three rivers. I walked west to the white gate. I knelt down before the gate, and saw my loving Savior on the other side of the gate, ready to open it to me. I asked him if I was correct in recording what I felt I heard Heavenly Mother speak to me last night about returning the keys to Christ, at Adam-Ondi-Ahman.

5. Jesus responded:


8. He then opened the gate and drew me close in a Godly embrace. I felt his deep love for all mankind whom he had redeemed! We parted, and I started walking down the narrow path. I turned and saw the gate was closed. He was hidden next to the gate, and not now visible. He is the keeper of the gate (2 Nephi 9:41), and employeth no servant there.

9. I turned and continued walking to the tree of life, where I ate of the fruit, and ate of the leaf. I ate and then walked further to the once sapling tree of life. It was now 14 inches in diameter, the same as the smaller tree of life in Enoch's city. I believe that this size is where it will now remain, until we are privileged to transplant these two trees to the New Jerusalem area.




10. I knelt down on the ground, facing the mother tree of life and called upon my Heavenly Parents. They both came from the sky, in bright light, holding hands, until they stood before me. I gazed into their glorious, happy faces. I then addressed them, thanking them for the revelations they continually give me. I prayed for many people, the elect of God that they would be awakened and led, line upon line, even until they would come to the gate by which I had just entered, with Jesus Christ letting them into the narrow path and the tree of life.

11. I prayed for the angels, to also be blessed and guided. I prayed for my loved ones.

I then asked if I should know important information about the solar eclipse on August 21st, 2017 or the event in the heavens on September 23rd, 2017. I asked to know how important these two events were to me, the holy angels, and to our work.

12. Heavenly Father then spoke to me in response:



15. I thanked my Heavenly Father. I said I would stand in readiness and receptivity to their direction. I asked for continual guidance in all things.

16. Later:

I was listening again to M.S.'s podcast 'Adam-Ondi-Ahman', and was impressed with what he said about ordinances. He said that all of the LDS temple ordinances are not completed yet, when we just attend the temple. He quoted the familiar line in the temple, which states something like this (I added the numbers below):


18. I immediately knew that Jesus Christ will 1) choose each of us, individually to enter into the Church of the Firstborn, once he has thoroughly tried and tested us. We will then be 2) called up to receive the waters of separation ordinance and sprinkled with specially prepared water. This sprinkling will be done with the water of separation that is made from running water over the ashes of a red heifer, which has been fully burned, according to Numbers chapter 19 in the Bible. The person receiving this ordinance, will then be able to proceed forward and receive 3) anointing with oil of their body and spirit, as I have described earlier in my journal post on 6-30-2017. The final ordination of this process in the Church of the Firstborn will be ordaining to be a king and priest, a queen and a priestess, as a couple to be a God and Goddess in the eternities.

D. R's Personal Journal Entry, 7-12-2017 Wednesday

1. I awoke this morning after preparing myself well for my prayer. I always now use meditation, drinking of the living water, and partaking of the tree of life (fruit and leaf) to get me ready to enter into the presence of my Father and Mother. I am perceiving them, seeing their faces, looking upon them with my spiritual eyes, before I ever address them and commune with them.

2. This morning, I was on the top of the granite cliffs, in Heavenly Mother's upper gardens. Both Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother were before me. I humbly addressed them, thanking them for the great privilege of being in their presence. I said to them how I received an email from N.R., who said he would not sustain me. Heavenly Mother then addressed me:




6. I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her answer. I then prayed that all the mortal angels and myself might be blessed in acting as normal mortal individuals in our circles. I prayed that we would not be exposed in our identities, if that were according to their will at this time. I prayed especially that we might all be more able to connect with our unconscious replicated selves who work in the celestial realms in behalf our God and the elect.

7. Heavenly Father responded to me:


8. I also prayed against the sinister plans of evil ones, or even potential traitors or unsupportive mortal angels, so they these do not derail us in any way. Although I have no expectations for the future, and where this all goes, I did feel that God is in control and will direct all of our affairs, so that the evil purposes of our enemies would be thwarted. I fully put my trust in my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother.

9. When I received the email from N.R., I felt fear and anxiety. I then felt worry that I was off the path someway. However, I very soon realized that this feeling came from several evil spirits that somehow accompanied the email he sent!

10. I immediately removed these false spirits from my being, and could tell they had come with the message of unsupport from N.R.. I then prayed to my Heavenly Parents, and felt much more happy and clear. I no longer have anxiety or fear, but assurance I am on the correct path, and pleasing to God.

E. R's Personal Journal Entry, 7-13-2017 Thursday

1. This morning I had a very communicative prayer–so real and clear! I prepared myself as always and was next to the pocketed flower rock wall in Heavenly Mother's upper garden. When I asked my Heavenly Parents to come, they came from the skies above, in beautiful white glorious robes, like I had never before seen. Each of their outer white robes were clasped on their right shoulder, with their outer robe flowing to their bare feet. They each wore a golden sash tied on their right side. Their outer robes were beautifully pleated. They were each shining brightly. They stood above the ground before me.




2. I looked into their loving faces. I was especially taken by the sparkling eyes and broad smile of Heavenly Mother. I told her she looked so beautiful! Heavenly Father looked so magnificent and powerful, so much in charge. I just loved being with them again, and basking in their presence!

3. I addressed them humbly, and spoke for some time before Heavenly Mother spoke to me. I was humble and articulated exactly what was in my heart. I was clear and so open before them. I felt so much at peace in such a loving environment!

4. I prayed for individuals in my own immediate family–all of them. I prayed to overcome my weaknesses in the flesh, to be more loving and kind to all of those in my family. I prayed for their burdens to be lightened, if it were according to the will of my Heavenly Parents before me.

5. I then prayed for each mortal angel by name, that I knew in my conscious mind. I prayed they would be encouraged to each take time to humbly approach their Heavenly Parents, to confirm the things I have told them. I prayed that they would be greatly blessed in this time of reckoning, and of their decisions.

6. I prayed for Enoch and his group of translated and transfigured beings. I asked if they knew of my commission, as the archangel of God in these last days. I then knew that they all had supported and sustained me, each one, in this great calling I had received from God.

7. I prayed for the Johnsons, as head of the 144,000, and for all the 144,000 who were now being awakened. I felt that they too would someday soon know more details of the angels of God, and our role in the work of gathering, the building of the New Jerusalem, and the establishment of the Church of the Firstborn.

I prayed for each of the elect of God throughout the world. I asked for their protection and guidance.




8. Heavenly Mother then spoke to me, once I had finished my many requests:


12. I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her wonderful words and message! I saw such glory and love and power before me, in these two individuals, my Heavenly Parents! I expressed my deep love and commitment to them. I asked that they be with me the entire day today. I closed in the name of Jesus Christ, their Beloved Son.

F. R's Personal Journal Entry, 7-14-2017 Friday

1. Last night I asked about N.R., and the manner I should act if he wants to return to fellowship and if he supports me in my role as Raphael, as I have described. Heavenly Mother said he needs to write me directly, and then I should ask them (my Heavenly Parents) what to do in his particular case. For now, wait until then. That all makes sense to me.

2. I have felt sometimes I get too tired at night to really connect well with my Heavenly Parents. I want to retire to bed earlier so I may have more clear and effective evening prayers.

In my prayer this morning, I was before the gold alter on my knees, facing the beautiful fountain of living water. My Heavenly Parents came in front of the fountain, wearing robes which flowed to their feet, with no sash. They were both smiling at me, and very accepting.

I asked them if one of them would communicate with me first, rather than me starting the prayer with my own requests.

3. Heavenly Mother asked me to write while she spoke to me:




I thanked my Heavenly Mother for this amazing insight and truth she shared with me! I felt to share this message with those who support me in my role.




10. Next I saw my Heavenly Parents start departing, ascending up into the skies above the fountain of living waters, until they were out of sight. I was left alone before the fountain. I then got ready for my day in mortality."

11. Below is part of an email I received from J.K. this week, that directly relates to what Heavenly Mother said above:


13. Here are a few other items J.K.covered in his email that all would be interested in:

K. R's Personal Journal Entry, 7-19-2017 Wednesday

1. Last night I had a good connective prayer. I had been very tired after being with our two daughters and then with four of our grandchildren. I went to bed early.

2. In my prayer I was again on the mountaintop. Heavenly Father spoke to me and he and Heavenly Mother took me again to the New Jerusalem. This time we went into the temple and I was given the overall measurements of the font–110 ft (the width of one of the trees of life) by half the length that is 55 ft. The seven steps total 10% of this width, or 5 1/2 ft tall by twice for the width, or 11 ft wide, or extending into the font area, all around the inside perimeter of the font. The steps are all gold and the base is silver where the candidate and I will be involved in the ordinance.




4. Oriphiel records the ordinance in the Book of Life, with two witnesses from the family or friends who watch from the edge of the font. Oriphiel records the candidate's premortal name, date, ordinance done, and the premortal names of the two witnesses.

5. The altar contains the ashes of the red heifer. Living water is poured over these ashes, and I then use the resulting water. This water is held in the stone basin which sits on the silver base floor of the font. The candidate kneels and I sprinkle this prepared water on their bowed head. I don't know what I say yet, but Jesus Christ will instruct me when he performs the waters of separation ordinance for me, the first one to receive this. I am also the last one to go through the temple at the end of the millennium.

6. The dimensions above were all conveyed to me last night in my prayer. At the end of my prayer, Heavenly Father asked me to lie down in my bed and ponder all of these things. I did so, but couldn't get to sleep until past 1:00 am!

7. In my prayer this morning, I saw myself walking with Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother around the streets of the New Jerusalem! I guess I am supposed to know details of the city–how it is laid out and constructed.

8. I heard a podcast yesterday from Julie Rowe about her views of the Church of the Firstborn. She had some things correct, in my opinion. She also mentioned the Davidic King and the Davidic Servant. These are both descendent of Jesse and Ephraim from Joseph she said. M.A. wrote me an email, wondering about what Julie Rowe said. I believe these are the rod and the root, as spoken of in Isaiah 11:1 and 11:10 (see also D&C 113:3-6 and also Romans 15:12). In the D&C verse, the rod is laid upon with much power, and to the root: 'unto whom rightly belongs the priesthood, and the keys of the kingdom, for an ensign, and for the gathering of my people in the last days.'

9. In my morning prayer, Heavenly Mother said to me:

10. You Raphael, are the Branch spoken of in Isaiah 11:1. Through you will be established the New Jerusalem and the Church of the Firstborn. We will be directing you in all of this. We are showing you the New Jerusalem in its completed state so that you know how it is to be constructed. We are also showing you the waters of separation ordinance that brings our elect into our Church of the Firstborn, our celestial church on the earth that you will establish in the New Jerusalem.

11. The council of angels, as spoken of in Isaiah 11:2, will assist you in all of your endeavors. You will also have many people assisting you who are the laborers in building the New Jerusalem.'

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for this information. I feel so blessed to receive her direction so frequently, even from her own mouth, or the mouth of Heavenly Father!

12. As I concluded my prayer, I saw that my replicated body remained with my Heavenly Parents in the New Jerusalem. I saw that my translated mortal body fell back to the earth, to my location where I was kneeling by my bed. I believe my unconscious mind is being shown more and more details of the New Jerusalem while I move and live daily in my conscious mind.

13. I also believe my residence in the New Jerusalem has already happened, in the celestial sphere above, on the mountain top in the eastern skies. I believe other angels too will join me sometime in this visionary experience, in their unconscious minds.

(Note: I was initially surprised that Heavenly Mother said Mary Magdalene was the wife of Jesus Christ and the mother of John the Beloved. I have since made an online search and saw there were lots of references to Mary Magdalene being the wife of Jesus.)

L. R's Personal Journal Entry, 7-20-2017 Thursday

1. I prayed last night and this morning in the wilderness area of heaven, in the field north of the sapling tree of life, across the river representing Jesus Christ. My Heavenly Parents came to me both times, and I basked in their presence! I feel so privileged to be in front of them each day!

2. While I was waiting upon them in prayer, Heavenly Mother spoke to me:

4. His role as the rod is one of a cleanser, and of a judge of the people, both of the wicked and also of the humble. This is a role he performs to prepare the way for the return of Jesus Christ to the earth. He acts in this role as the Davidic Servant.

5. In his second role as the root of Jesse, he is a gatherer of the people. He holds the keys of the gathering of Israel, and of the elect of God. He will set his hand to recover the remnant of the people, the elect of God, from all the ends of the earth. In this role he will also become the Davidic King, for he will become the king of the New Jerusalem, reigning under his Father Jesus Christ, who is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, and the King over the entire earth. Both Jesus Christ and John the Beloved have the royal line of David by their birthright.

6. As Melchizedek became the king of Salem, so shall John the Beloved become the king of the New Jerusalem, even after his Father Jesus Christ comes to rule and reign over the entire earth.

7. Your role as the branch, spoken of in Isaiah 11:1 will be to establish the New Jerusalem and the Church of the Firstborn. You are charged to build this glorious city and to establish this celestial church, prior to the return of Jesus Christ to the earth. Once he returns in glory, John the Beloved will become the king of the New Jerusalem as the Davidic king, and your commission to build the celestial city will be completed and fulfilled. You will continue to serve in the temple as you administer the waters of separation ordinance with Oriphiel. This service will continue to fill you with joy and deep satisfaction through the entire millennial day.

8. The reason why the keys of the gathering of Israel have been conferred upon both you and John the Beloved is this: John has the commission as the root of Jesse to bring the people to Zion, to the New Jerusalem, to gather them physically. This requires the keys of gathering. You, Raphael, also have the keys of gathering and to bring all the elect to the Church of the Firstborn. If the elect come to Zion, the New Jerusalem, and enter not into the Church of the Firstborn, they are not able to progress in eternity and become as we are. Your role is more one of spiritually gathering the elect to our celestial church, and to aid them in their progress towards eternal life and exaltation in their own kingdom, to become exalted couples for eternity.

Both of the roles of gathering are very important in gathering and saving our elect.

9. Both you and John the Beloved have different roles and commissions. You are not part of any presidency together, but act independently. Raphael, you have a council of twelve angels who give you guidance in important matters that may arise. John the Beloved acts as a king, and does not have a presidency either. His role as the descendant of Jesse is completed once Jesus Christ comes to rule and reign on the earth. However, John's role as a righteous king, as the root of Jesse, continues throughout the millennium.'

10. I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her wonderful explanation! My mind has become entirely clarified by this revelation this morning. I looked again into the loving and smiling faces of my Heavenly Father and my Heavenly Mother! I felt so much satisfaction and peace!

I asked also if I should share this information with the mortal angels.

11. Heavenly Father said this to me:

12. I thanked my Heavenly Father. This makes perfect sense. I closed my prayer in the name of their Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, and started my day.

M. R's Personal Journal Entry, 7-21-2017 Friday

1. My wife had sinus pain yesterday, and I attempted to remove the blockage energetically. I prayed to God at the beginning, and then I felt the presence of Heavenly Mother, and she placed her hand next to mine in a God's Loving Focus healing gift. It happened fast: with my hands next to hers, she moved the obstruction in my wife's head. The energy blockage moved very quickly and needed no secondary clearing which was a surprise to me. As Heavenly Mother did this, I could see Heavenly Mother's face and what she was doing. I was very grateful for this! My wife went to bed early, and I haven't yet talked to her.

2. In my prayer last night, I was on the bluff overlooking the lake at God's Loving Healing Center. Both of my Heavenly Parents were in front of me, smiling. They seemed eager to convey to me more information. I spoke a little in my prayer, and then waited.

3. Heavenly Father spoke more about the branch that he again said I was. He said this was planned from the beginning, that I would have this role. The branch was a name chosen because it grows out of the stem of a plant, and gradually receives nourishment and growth–just like I am gradually tutored and grow in knowledge. There are a number of Old Testament and some New Testament scriptures too that refer to the branch. A few refer to Jesus Christ, but many refer to me, Raphael, and my foreordained mission in building the temple and in my millennial mission.

4. I believe there is no way that one could figure any of this out except through direct revelation! I went online yesterday and saw a great number of opinions that all just got me more confused.

5. I feel so very ordinary, a normal man. This is how it is supposed to be I believe. I do feel more mature in my views, more loving to people and my own family, and clearer in how this will all come about, or be in the millennial day. I also see clearly how one central area of the New Jerusalem is to be constructed.

6. Also, last night when preparing for my evening prayer, I passed by the white gate that Jesus Christ keeps or guards, to the narrow path that leads to the tree of life. I asked him, as I was there, if I was really the branch spoken of in the scriptures. Jesus responded with his clear, smiling eyes:

We touched hands as I started down the narrow path.

8. I passed again this morning the gate, and Jesus placed his hands on my shoulders and smiled. He told me to come as frequently as I wished through the gate to the path and then to the tree of life. I thanked him abundantly for my redemption, for saving me and cleansing and purifying me.

I then went to the tree, plucked of the fruit and the leaf, and brought them with me to the bench near the circling waters. Here I ate while I prepared for my prayer.

9. I then knelt down in front of the bench, and prayed with uplifted hands, being gradually lowered three times. My Heavenly Parents came in front of me. I gazed into their eyes and faces, and they were happy with me. I said a few words, ending with this:

10. I waited. Heavenly Father then came forth and wanted me to write as he spoke to my mind:

11. You have learned more clearly this week the greatness of your calling for the elect of God who enter into the Church of the Firstborn. This event, to receive the waters of separation ordinance from you and Oriphiel, will greatly impact the life of each one who comes into our church. We will be frequent visitors to this ordinance for our children. They will feel our presence, and many will see us. This is their entry into the Church of the Firstborn.

12. You are correct that you have a replicated self who now lives or has residence in the future New Jerusalem. You are gaining detailed information for the construction of our celestial city.

Do not fret about the other mortal angels. Each has their own journey, as do you. We will bring each again to you to strengthen you in your mission, and to fulfill their own. All things are going as planned as our work unfolds.

Continue to stay close to us, and we will pour out revelation daily to your mind and heart, so that you will be prepared to fulfill your glorious commission. We love you, our son!'

13. I thanked Heavenly Father for sharing his direction with me. I felt like I was then hearing more, but my mortal mind came back to the reality of my mortal body. I feel very happy and at peace as I now start the day!"

14. Consider these scriptures about the branch from the Old Testament:

Zechariah 6:11-13–

15. Jeremiah 23:5-6–

16. Hosea 3:4-5–

17. Jeremiah 33:15–

19. Isaiah 4:2-3

20. Isaiah 60:19-21

N. R's Personal Journal Entry, 7-22-2017 Saturday

1. This morning we are planning to go for breakfast. I am now in my prayer. I am on the high mountaintop in the celestial world, and have gone into the New Jerusalem in the eastern skies. Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother met me in front of the fountain. They had me stand, and turn with them and walk up the seven gold steps to the two gold-hinged doors that they each opened. We entered.

2. I saw for the first time the largeness and expanse of this glorious entry area where the oval fountain is located:

Original journal sketch of the font room and the two adjacent garden rooms

3. The plan view above, is the top view of the font room and the two adjacent garden areas. The width of the font room is 200 ft, the height is 200 ft, and the depth is 200 ft–a big square shape. The garden areas are also a 200 ft square shape each, butted next to the font room. The two end square areas are garden/meditation areas. The center is the font room.

4. The remainder of the temple is also a square shape, 600 ft wide by 600 ft deep, and 200 ft tall, the same height as the front area of the temple. This back area is where the final temple ordinances are performed on the earth.

5. The outer doors that lead into the temple are each 20 ft by 20 ft, side by side hinged doors. This is the same size as the south doors of the temple that exit the building. The internal doors are 10 ft by 10 ft hinged, and lead from the font room into the garden areas to the east and the west.

6. This large temple area is 600 ft wide (east to west) by 800 ft deep (north to south) by 200 ft to the ceiling. There is probably some sort of spire on the top beyond the 200 ft height. There are no other floors to this temple front area, only the ground floor to ceiling, which is 200 ft tall.

7. There are also no internal floor-to-ceiling beams that I saw supporting the roof, except the outer walls that reached 200 ft in height. The span of 200 ft width is one large span!

8. The garden areas are separated from the central font area by vertical glass-like material from floor to ceiling. Each garden area has one entrance, a 10 by 10 ft double door (10 x 20 ft opening) that is also made of hinged glass.

9. The garden and glass gives the appearance of a very wide expanse of the font room, east and west, in the midst of celestial nature. There are trees, flowers, shrubs, hills, streams, ponds, etc. in the garden area. This is very much like a small version of Heavenly Mother's upper garden area.

10. There are gold paths winding through the gardens–so lovely! All represents heaven, the paradise and dwelling place of God.

11. The inside of the 200 ft outer walls, and the ceiling, are also beautifully decorated with symbols of nature, in three dimensioned sculptures and motifs. These are painted beautifully also.

12. The light inside the temple glows from the walls and ceiling, so that it looks like outside on a bright beautiful summer day. It is always bright inside I believe, with no night.

13. Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother were before me, after I soaked up this grand tour! Heavenly Mother addressed me:

14. I then was called by my wife to get ready for breakfast, to join the others who were camping. I have thought about this wonderful experience throughout the day today. I am eager to see more details of this glorious city!

3. After these new members are received into our Church of the Firstborn, they may have access to one or both of our beautiful gardens on either side. Once they enter into the garden area on the east, they are transported into your Heavenly Mother's beautiful upper garden area, starting at the circling waters. If they enter into the western garden area, they come to the Lake at God's Loving Healing Center. These two entry garden areas into our celestial kingdom are portals. They are permanently linked to the garden areas in our kingdom. There are glass-like transparent doors into each garden from the font room. The new member may go into these areas, once their name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life as having received the waters of separation ordinance. They may exit also through these same portal doors, back into the font room. However, more commonly they return in front of the temple in the New Jerusalem by their thought of being transported to that location. This return to the New Jerusalem area on the earth will allow you and Oriphiel to continue uninterrupted in ordinance work for other candidates.

4. There is a glass-like transparent membrane that separates each garden area, floor to ceiling, from the font room. This glass-like membrane is sealed around the doorframe. This blocks any sound but allows the celestial light from these areas to fully illuminate the font room.

5. In the construction process for the two garden areas, you only need to build the 200 ft square boxed room with the outer walls, ceiling and floor of the temple, and the glass-like hinged doors. Once these are separately dedicated, we will link these to heaven permanently through a portal. The ceiling and walls are to be made from stone, and the floor is to be paved with gold in each garden room area. Once dedicated, these will transform into portals to our actual celestial areas on our heavenly orb.

6. It is our desire, Raphael, to emphasize the great importance of this ordinance for all candidates coming into our celestial church. By creating the front portion of our celestial temple as a portal to heaven, we will have shown that entry into the celestial world requires the waters of separation ordinance performed by you and Oriphiel.

7. There are other temple ordinances performed for the new members of the Church of the Firstborn by the angels of God. These are performed in the remaining southern portion of this temple in the New Jerusalem. This combined temple work in this building constitutes the great labor of exalting our choice and obedient children during the millennium. We have ordained that this work be done on the earth, where each of our elect will have lived.'

8. As I finished writing all of this, my Heavenly Mother wanted me to write her words also:

10. I deeply thanked my Heavenly Father and my Heavenly Mother for their revelations this morning. I feel overjoyed by the information I am continually receiving from their hand.

I closed my prayer in the holy name of Jesus Christ, their Beloved Son.

2. Last night in my prayer, I was uncertain in what I was seeing. Maybe I will gain more information today.

In my morning prayer today, Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother appeared before me, in front of the altar in the center area of the New Jerusalem. Heavenly Father asked me to stand. I walked between them, Heavenly Father on my right and Heavenly Mother on my left. We walked east, on the southern side of the channel of living water.

3. As we walked east, we passed the eastern tree of life, with the circular channel surrounding it. We were walking on a wide path on the southern side of the channel. It had stone curbing and a gold path. This same design and structure was symmetric throughout this square temple garden area. The square measured 3,000 ft by 3,000 ft. The gardens were breathtaking on either side of the living water channel. There were also winding paths between these straight paths which went on either side of the channels. All of the paths in the garden were of the same design, with stone curbing and gold paths on which to walk. There were many benches and areas for meditation. Beautiful trees, bushes and flower areas adorned this entire large temple square section. This entire square area was a celestial area on the earth! Outside of this block, it was a terrestrial environment. However, the temple block was celestial, with celestial light glowing continually. The animals and plants were also from the celestial wilderness area, and lived in this area.

4. There were no fences, but the animals within stayed in this 3,000 ft by 3,000 ft square celestial area. Also, only those who were invited into the temple square area could enter. The Spirit of God invited them. If they were not of a celestial nature, they would be uncomfortable and quickly leave. There were also cherubim at entrances guarding the way to the tree of life and the other areas within for those who wanted to enter who were not celestial in nature.

5. We left the temple square area, still walking east. The channel of living water went under the very wide street (150 ft wide). On the other side of this road, the channel again became open and was a river of water. This was gently flowing out into the remainder of the city and the lands around. The four rivers flowed east, north, west and south, all with slow, gentle flow.

6. There were three temple buildings on the north of this eastern flowing river, and three temple structures south (see my sketch above). These included lodging for visitors to stay that were traveling for temple worship, similar to how we worship today, and for churches, administrative and government buildings, etc. There were also stores and other businesses to the north and south.

Residences were in the corner areas to the northeast, southeast, southwest, and northwest. The residences were for those who labored in the New Jerusalem area.

7. The New Jerusalem will be a large hub of continual visitors, many of whom come for their entrance into the Church of the Firstborn, and to visit the trees of life and fountain of the living waters from its source from deep in the ground.

8. I walked with my Heavenly Parents to these areas outside the temple square. These sections were very lovely, and were of terrestrial glory. It was only the center temple square area that was of celestial glory.

I saw that my residence was in this terrestrial section of the New Jerusalem. John the Beloved, who was king of the New Jerusalem, was also living nearby.

Journal sketch of the city area and boundaries

9. The temple areas described in 'Visions of Glory' were all located in the terrestrial sections of the city. The celestial area at the center place was reserved for those who were brought into the Church of the Firstborn. It was so magnificent! There was a quiet reverence that pervaded this celestial temple block. The glorious celestial temple could be seen for miles around, for it was very large and so beautiful!

10. Heavenly Father then spoke to me:

I embraced my Father, and then my Mother. I was so filled with emotion I couldn't say anything!

12. I then thought I was back in my bedroom, kneeling by my bed, writing all this down in my journal. I feel so much peace and happiness in thinking of all this experience now. It is appropriate that this is Pioneer Day, 2017 when I was showed the grand tour of the New Jerusalem.

13. Finally, I approached again my Heavenly Parents in prayer. I was immediately in front of the altar, facing the fountain, in the New Jerusalem. Both of my Heavenly Parents were in front of me. I asked them the following:

14. Heavenly Mother smiled broadly and said:

I then thanked her, and closed my prayer in the name of their Beloved Son, Jesus Christ. It has been about 1 3/4 hours since I came in my prayer this morning.

2. The land around the inhabited part of the city is for farmland, parks, recreational areas, etc. There is also a wall around the entire perimeter of the city, 27,000 ft long on each side, or about 5.1 miles square on each side, or about 26 square miles total for the greater city area. The wall is 12 ft tall. The wall has openings where the four rivers leave the city. These openings don't have a door, but are guarded on either side of the river. There is a road on both sides of each river (8 roads total), which lead into the city.

4. The wall keeps out intruders at first before the wicked are destroyed, and for the curious who later on may cause mischief. It also establishes a clear perimeter for the city boundaries. There also is a road about the outside of the entire wall that is frequently patrolled at first. The roads have a bridge over each river at the entrances.

I have a lot to ponder today as I saw the overall layout of the city of the New Jerusalem!

5. Later at night: In my prayer this evening, I again felt to go to the New Jerusalem, in the eastern skies from the high mountaintop. I prayed with hands uplifted, lowering them three times, praying specifically for the Father, Mother and the Son to come. All three came before me, while I was kneeling before the fountain of living water. I looked into each of their loving eyes, and knew and recognized each of them again. I know their visages well now.

6. Heavenly Mother wanted to speak to me:

I then was taken to the roof area with all three of them. I saw there was a central spire, right in the middle of the roof. Its base was 200 ft by 200 ft square, aligned with the temple perimeters (facing north, east, south and west). This central spire rose 400 ft from the base at the roof level, in the shape of a pyramid, with a point at the top. The top of this central spire was 600 ft from the ground since the temple walls were 200 ft tall.

Overall spire configuration



Original sketch of the spires in my journal

8. There were also four smaller spires, 200 ft tall by the same base configuration as the central spire (200 ft by 200 ft), located at the four corners of temple roof. They were constructed as pyramids also. In between these on each north and south ends was also yet a smaller spire, with a similar 200 ft by 200 ft square base by 100 ft high.

9. There were therefore seven total spires, the central one 400 ft tall, the four corner spires 200 ft tall, and the two north and south end spires 100 ft tall. Each had a base of 200 ft by 200 ft square. All were placed on the roof that was flat, and was 200 ft above the ground level.

10. The spires were made of stone on top of a steel structure I believe. The spires each came to a point, which was directed heavenward, symbolizing the link between heaven and earth. The two northern corner spires were directly over the garden portal areas, and were a part of the portal functionality I believe.

11. There was also an 'edge' section all around the periphery of the temple. This has some sort of design made from precious jewel and stones that adorn this top edge of the wall where it meets the roof.

12. There are also large trees, garden areas with brilliant patches of flowers all around the temple, inside the moat of living water that encompasses the temple. All is so well landscaped and very beautiful! I believe there are no windows, for inside the temple the portals open up to the windows of heaven, filled with light and celestial beauty.

13. I thanked my Heavenly Father, Heavenly Mother and Jesus Christ my Savior, for being with me tonight as I viewed the great beauty of the outside spires, walls, and grounds of the temple. The temple is so majestic, large, and beautiful!

The temple outline from a view from the east or the west

5. Heavenly Father spoke to me:

10. These spires greatly glorify and beautify the temple, as these seven steps transform our child to become even as we are. This process of change in our child brings your Heavenly Mother and me the greatest joy we could possibly receive.'

11. I thanked my Heavenly Father for his clarifying words this morning. I felt great love and ultimate wonder and respect for him and Heavenly Mother.

I felt then that my time with them, in my conscious mind, was ending. I expressed my love and gratitude again, and closed our communication for now, in the name of their Beloved Son, Jesus Christ.

The taller the spire, the more pointing it is to God in heaven.

2. Last night and this morning in my prayer, I saw details of the outside of the temple:

Foundation: The foundation is on bedrock that is 30 ft thick by the perimeter of the temple (600 ft by 800 ft). I have no idea how it gets there! It is of one piece of rock, very stiff and strong!

3. Walls: The outer walls of the temple are 12-in thick for the 200 ft high perimeter walls. There is a 600 ft east-west wall also at the end of the first northern end of the inside of the temple. This is also 12-in thick and 200 ft tall.

The remaining back part (southern section) of the temple is a square shape from above. I am unsure if there are other internal walls in this back structure.

Journal sketch of gutter pipe configuration on the roof of the temple

4. Gutters: At the base of each northern and southern spire, there are half-round channels that bring the water to the outer perimeter of the roof-wall interface. There is also a channel around the central spire with a channel extending to the center of the 800 ft perimeter roof-wall edge. These channels slope gradually to the perimeters where there is also a channel going all around the roofline. There are 6-in diameter gutter holes at each corner and at the center of the 800 ft sides. These bring the rain water down to the ground level. These internal gutter pipes are inside the 12-in wall. They exit a few feet from the ground level onto sloped rain dispersal stones. Rainwater from the spires flows into the gutter channels and down the gutter pipes.

5. Roof edging: The roof edge is adorned with precious gems and stones. These are about 3-in thick by up to 15-in tall. I am not sure of its construction yet. Maybe we need to see what is available first. This edging is also around the temple entrance doors and exits and the outer wall corners, a full 200-ft in height.

6. Outer doors: The temple doors are 20 ft by 20 ft each, hinged on the outside so they open outward. There are no outer handles or knobs, but there is a keyhole which locks the doors. The key that fits the temple is the black key that I, Raphael, continually carry on my green sash. This is the only key to the temple. I assume I will open the door to the temple in the morning and then all of the angels and workers may enter into the temple. I will also lock the doors when needed.

7. When the candidate is ready, I will open the large gold doors outward and invite the candidate and his guests into the font room. For those receiving the waters of separation ordinance, I will invite them and their guests to stand in their places. Other angels will also be there to assist the people who come. When finished with the ordinance of the waters of separation, the new member(s) will exit into the side garden portal areas, and I will bring in the next group.

8. The outer doors are trimmed with jewels all around. This is very pretty and breathtaking at the main entrance into the temple.

9. There is no temple recommend, but only a verification by the Spirit that the desired person(s) are who they say they are, and have been chosen by the Savior Jesus Christ. I imagine Oriphiel and I will chat with the candidate before the ordinance.

Gold pyramid top of spires

10. Top of the Spires: There is a solid gold pyramid at the top of each spire that matches the angle of the spire. Each is 12-in tall. The tallest spire also has a lightning rod that connects to the gold pyramid piece.

11. Grounds: There are trees all around the temple, inside the moat area. There are shrubs, grass, flowers galore, and beauty in abundance. There is a path around this area too which goes all around the temple, inside the moat area. All is so very lovely.

12. Material of walls and roof: These are all of granite-like stone of some kind. The temple glistens in the sun and is very reflective.


I was able to view these details up close and also from afar, from the northern entrance to the city. The temple is very tall and large and can easily be seen for miles around.

Front gold doors of the New Jerusalem Temple, showing various details

2. Along the top and sides, the 2-in thick solid gold door fit into a 2-in groove inset in the wall on the front of the temple. On the floor, it was inset to a 1-in in height, so that the outside entry floor threshold was 1-in lower than the floor level in the font room. A person would have to step up 1-inch from the outside to enter the temple at the main floor.

3. There are 3 12-inch long gold-plated steel hinges on each side of the door (east and west sides), which allow the door to swing open to the north. The keyhole is on the right side (west door) at my elbow height when I am outside the door facing the temple. The outer threshold floor area at the top (7th step from the bottom) of the outside gold steps is 12 ft wide to the north from the wall to the first descending step, and 24 ft long at the wall along the east-west directions. From the top step, the step lengths and widths increase (see image below) until the bottom step is 23 wide by 46 long.

4. When closed, the door and wall are flat and smooth. There is no outside handle or knob, and there is no way to even wedge something into the door or frame to open the door. Only the black key will open the door. When the key is inserted, I saw the key sparkle with a white light when I turned it clockwise a full turn. I then pull gently with the key inserted, and the right door easily swings open. I then can put my other hand on the left door and swing the edge of that door open too.

5. On the inside of the door, there are two handles, one on each door that I use to push open the door and close it afterwards. The lock is left unlocked during the day when I am in the temple. Even unlocked, nobody may enter since there is no handle or knob on the outside. It has to be opened from the inside or with the black key from the outside.

6. The seven gold steps that come up to the door make the floor of the font room elevated by the height of the steps that is a 5 1/2 ft rise. The floor in the font room is built up with wooden supports from the solid rock foundation. The steps descending into the font are also made of wood, going down to the rock foundation. All plumbing for restrooms, etc. is hidden in this wooden structure and flooring. The adjacent garden rooms are not on a wooden floor, but are directly on the rock foundation. This is 5 1/2 ft lower than the glass doors. The portal will fill this entire area up so there will be no step down to the gold floor.

7. In the font room, a 1-in gold layer covers all the wooden floor structure and steps. It is all gold except the base or bottom of the font floor that is covered with a 1-in silver base over the rock foundation.

8. The workmanship is exquisite and very much of superior quality and extremely precise. I believe the construction methods have never been used in the way the temple is constructed. There is no expense spared–for all the riches of God are used in all the construction. All of these materials come from the hidden riches of the earth, to be brought forth at the right time for the building of the New Jerusalem temple.

9. There is one restroom for men and one for women in the font room area, against the northeast wall, to the right backside of where Oriphiel sits in his chair. All walls are vertical, coming at right angles to the foundation floor and rising 200 ft into the air. These walls sit on the foundation and are 12-in thick, and of one piece I believe. I don't know how they are constructed, but it is amazing! The walls somehow attach with slots or bolts or something to the foundation all around the temple so that these never move from their location.

10. The ceiling is unsupported between the vertical walls from any beams from the floor. It appears there are steel beams extending across the ceiling to support the weight of the stone roof and spires above it. There is a wooden ceiling covering the beams, and allowing the craftsmen to decorate the edges and corners of the ceiling area with beautiful motifs and sculptured artwork. There are also designs in the center area of the ceiling. There are not, however, lights with electricity, for the walls, ceiling and floors all glow with heavenly celestial light.

11. Yesterday I saw that the outer walls are exactly flush on the temple outside with the foundation. The foundation is cut exactly to the edge of the outer wall. There is rich soil all around the temple for the many plants to grow that adorn the outside.

12. I also saw there were gems all around the perimeter of the outer front door and back doors on the north and south walls. The four corners of the outer walls are also adorned with jewels and/or precious stones. The top where the roof meets the outer wall is also adorned with jewels and precious stones.

13. I believe I have described all the basic features of the font room, the two garden portal rooms, the outside of the temple walls, ceilings, spires, roof, and the garden beds on the immediate outside areas inside the mote area.

14. Oh, the paths around the temple inside the moat area are straight on the north and south sides of the temple, but curve in and out of the large trees planted on the east and west sides of the temple.

I confirmed all that I have written as accurate as my mortal mind can now grasp. I wrote in my journal all of this during my prayer time, and now I must start my day. I feel so blessed!

This shows the southeastern paths around the garden areas

2. Heavenly Mother spoke:

4. I noticed there were no water channels visible along the circular paths, nor in the garden areas. The pools and waterfalls were supplied with water from the channels of living water, somehow being piped in under the earth. These water areas were also filled with living water that was continually circulated somehow. These beautiful celestial gardens were planted from celestial plants brought from the wilderness area in heaven. I will sketch the entire garden area later today on my computer, as I see it. I was only shown this northeastern sector this morning by my Heavenly Parents.

I saw in my mind the configuration of the paths also around the southeast quadrant with the eastern side of the temple. Here is the entire garden area path configuration:

The three concentric rings of gold paths in the Temple Square garden areas

5. I saw that a person with a celestial nature, approved of God, could enter the temple square area on the gold paths, or enter into the garden areas and travel where they wanted. The temple square area is 3,000 ft by 3,000 ft square.

I thanked my Heavenly Parents for this wonderful tour of their garden areas! I will come back frequently to explore, meditate and pray I am sure!

V. R's Personal Journal Entry, 7-30-2017 Sunday

1. Today in my morning prayer I met Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother at the north entrance to the city of the New Jerusalem. We met at the northern open gate by the outside wall. Heavenly Father had me stand and walk between them through some of the outer fields, until we entered the inhabited section of the city. We walked down the residential streets until we arrived at the smaller temples in the city. We walked further until we arrived at temple square, and then we strolled from the north through the beautiful gardens there. We came upon the altar and stone table. We saw the trees of life on either side (east and west) of us. We walked across one of the gold bridges, up the seven gold steps to the gold temple doors on the north side of the temple. Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother then opened the temple doors and we stepped into the beautiful font room. I saw that on the far wall there were men and women's restrooms to our left against the wall, and an administrative office area to the right against the wall. These were matching size on either side of the 10 ft by 10 ft gold hinged doors (20 ft by 10 ft high opening ) that led into the southern part of the temple.

2. I turned and faced north, and my Heavenly Parents came to an area about where Oriphiel would sit. My back was to the gold southern doors behind me, leading to the 600 ft by 600 ft square area of the temple that I hadn't yet been in before.

3. Heavenly Father spoke:


4. Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother then came and took my hands. The gold doors leading into the southern part of the temple then opened, and we entered. Before we went in, I noticed in the font room there were three sets of 10 ft by 10 ft double doors: two to the garden areas to the east and west, and one to the south where we were now entering.




5. We came upon an open area where there was a room for men to change to the left, and a room for women to change to the right. I went to the left or east room with my Heavenly Parents.

I saw that the members of the Church of the Firstborn replaced their clothing they were wearing with a full-length fabric shield, like the one worn in modern LDS temples when going to the initiatory ordinances.

6. We next entered another room eastward where male angels ceremonially washed male member's body and spirits. Then we entered another room to the east where men angels anointed male member's body and spirit. Then we entered a final room to the east, against the far eastern wall of the temple, where the members were clothed in their Godly robes, brilliant and white. This was all done preparatory to the endowment. The women's side of this temple had similar matching rooms.

7. We then walked south to a very large room, a full 600 ft wide, where men and women joined together for their endowment of knowledge and power. There was a central curved area in the middle southern part of this room that I knew was the veil of the temple. We then walked through the veil in our tour. We immediately came into the first floor of the heavenly temple in the celestial home of my Heavenly Parents! This was the third permanent portal to heaven in this temple!

8. I saw that when the member passed into the veil, Heavenly Father and or Heavenly Mother were there to greet them individually, welcoming them to their temple home. The member was then free to roam on the first floor in the all the rooms, and perhaps the fourth floor to the throne room.

9. We then thought of exiting the temple and were transported to an area in front of the large 20 ft by 20 ft double gold exit doors on the south end of the New Jerusalem temple. There were couches and chairs, like in a waiting room to assemble with loved ones, before exiting the temple through these large gold doors.

10. We walked through the large gold doors and down the seven gold steps, and onto the south end of the temple grounds, onto a gold path. We turned and looked at the temple.




11. I thanked my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother very much for this wonderful tour of the New Jerusalem temple again, and for the tour of the entire temple today, particularly the southern end.

I asked that I be able to record all of this experience well in my journal. I then closed my prayer, in the name of their Beloved Son, Jesus Christ.

I began writing my account in my journal. It is now 9:00 am and I am ready to start my Sabbath!

12. Later, after church:

Today my wife and I attended a ward in Mapleton, Utah. I enjoyed this meeting today–there were speakers who spoke on acting like Jesus, to be kind, and to know that he loves us.

In the sacrament, I meditated and felt I was right next to the 400 ft tall spire, above the New Jerusalem temple! I was facing north. I prayed to my Heavenly Parents after the sacrament prayer on the bread was given in the ward. I then made my weekly covenant to them. After the deacon passed me the bread, Heavenly Father spoke to me:


14. We went down into the temple, and I perceived more of how the 600 ft by 600 ft southern part of the temple was laid out. Here is my sketch of what I saw:




15. The endowment ceremony in the Church of Christ centers on the journey of Adam and Eve, and of the members likening themselves to their first parents, Adam and Eve. In this endowment in the Church of the Firstborn, the journey of Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother is depicted, and the members are to liken themselves to them, and to become even as they are. This journey shows how God progressed and gained his/her power.

16. I think the veil goes floor to ceiling between the seven pillars. The veil is opaque white, or translucent white. Scenes depicting Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother are portrayed in vision on these portal screens.

17. At the end of the endowment, the member puts his right hand into the veil as either Heavenly Father or Heavenly Mother puts their right hand to test the member of their knowledge of the signs and tokens they were given previously. There is no slit in the veil, but these hands still pierced the veil. If the member passes this test at the veil, he or she is admitted into the actual presence of God in the temple in heaven!

18. The area south of the veil, behind the seven pillars, is a permanent portal to the celestial temple in heaven. The temple in heaven (in the portal) is from the front door (also facing north) to the side walls on the east and west. The celestial temple in heaven is also 600 ft wide at this point. There is no rotation in the portal like there is in the garden portals on the north end of the temple. In the south end portal, the exit door of the New Jerusalem temple matched the location of the opening of the hallway in God's temple in heaven. This is occupied in the New Jerusalem temple by the exit room.

19. The member may go anywhere in the celestial temple in heaven on either the first or fourth floors.

When exiting the portal, the member may assemble in the exit room with loved ones and friends. Alternatively, he or she may think to exit the temple altogether and go to a location they desire outside the temple.

W. R's Personal Journal Entry, 7-31-2017 Monday

1. This morning in my prayer I prayed in front of the New Jerusalem temple. My Heavenly Parents came to me on the gold steps in front of the temple, facing me.

2. Heavenly Mother spoke to me:

---

X. R's Personal Journal Entry, 8-1-2017 Tuesday

1. Yesterday evening I came to the white gate and spoke with Jesus Christ, the keeper of the gate, in the celestial world. I begged him to let me know that I was fully redeemed and clean before him. I expressed sorrow for my sins, my many weaknesses and my foibles. He listened, and then said he forgave me. He told me I was fully clean before him. He smiled at me as he spoke to me! I thanked him abundantly, and then walked down the narrow path to the tree of life.




2. I next took of the fruit and the leaf of the tree of life, and took these both to the gold steps of the New Jerusalem temple, north entrance. I ate and when done, I knelt down before the steps. I prayed with both hands lifted high above my head. I lowered them three times, asking for the Father, the Mother and the Son, to all come to me in my prayer.

3. They all three came. Before I was able to speak, Jesus Christ came between my Heavenly Parents and myself. He spoke:


4. Jesus then turned and smiled at me. He then rose up into the sky and was gone.

I looked at my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother, and they were smiling at me. I knew they had accepted me back into their presence because of the merits of the Beloved Son, who is mighty to save.

5. I thought of D&C 45:3-5. I felt this is exactly what Jesus, the Great Redeemer, has done for me! I will feel ever grateful to him for his atonement, for his suffering that he has wrought for me, to redeem me and bring me back into the presence of my Heavenly Parents!





7. Yesterday when moving my daughter and her husband, we moved up and down steps all morning. I realized then that the seven gold steps that ascend and descend over the height of 5 1/2 ft are taller steps than the normal 7 to 7 1/2-in steps I am used to. The temple steps are about 9 1/2-in tall. I received the impression that the reason these are taller steps is because they represent a journey that has taken hard work, and much effort to attain. Each step is prepared for the growth of the candidate, as they enter into the Church of the Firstborn, on their path to eternal life and exaltation.

I then was before my Heavenly Parents, in the font room of the New Jerusalem temple. I expressed gratitude for the privilege to be in their presence. I then waited upon God.

8. Heavenly Father then spoke to me. He and Heavenly Mother were standing in their glory before me, on the gold floor in front of the font. Here is what he said:








I thanked my Heavenly Father for his wonderful explanation to me! I prayed whether I had written this down according to his desire, and whether it was acceptable before him. I could see him smile and accept it as if from his own mouth. It has taken me an hour to write all of his words in my journal this morning.

Y. R's Personal Journal Entry, 8-2-2017 Wednesday

1. This morning in my prayer, I met with my Heavenly Parents at the circling waters in Heavenly Mother's upper garden area. I approached them humbly, seeking their guidance and information. I waited for them to respond.




2. Heavenly Mother then spoke to me all about more details of the seven steps into the Church of the Firstborn. Here is what she said:

Z. R's Personal Journal Entry, 8-3-2017 Thursday

1. Last night in my prayer, Heavenly Father told me my website posts that I had just finished typing up (up to yesterday) were sufficiently accurate for them, and that I should aim to send out the next web post on 8-8, next Tuesday, August 8th. The post will go to those who have written me and sustained me as Heavenly Mother has stated. There is only 5 days left before everyone who has not written me are cut off from my website, or those who have written me that cannot sustain me are cut off. I am starting to see the wisdom in this, since the revelations on the New Jerusalem are very elaborate and great. If all would have access to this information, and didn't believe it really, it would be perhaps condemning to them, and like casting pearls before swine (although mortal angels are hardly like swine!). I think God wants a group who is believing and supportive, and not a group that is mostly waffling between opinions.

2. I have also noticed the recurrence of the numbers three and seven in the temple area. I know these are Godly numbers.

Occurrences of the numbers three and seven:


3. In my morning prayer, after I had prepared myself well, I found myself on the top large entry step of the New Jerusalem temple looking north. I could see the fountain of living water, the altar and table, and the two trees of life. I could also see the northern part of the gardens in front of me, and a portion of the city of the New Jerusalem, out to the distant walls at its border.

4. I knelt on the steps, raised my hands in the attitude of mighty prayer, and asked my Heavenly Parents to come commune with me.




I then saw a glorious light slowly descend to me from the skies. When the light rested upon me, my glorious Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother were before me, shining brightly. I looked into their soft eyes and smiling faces.

5. Heavenly Mother spoke:


8. I then wrote my entry this morning to this point. I next went back to listening to my Heavenly Mother. She spoke again:


9. I then stood and walked between my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother. Heavenly Mother was on my left. We moved quickly to the wide road just outside the temple square area. We walked across the street and came to a path or sidewalk on the northern side of the eastern river of living water. We came to the first temple building on the north, and walked down the pathway to this first temple.




10. The pathway was stone, very precisely laid, like polished tiles. There was green grass on either side with garden and tree areas beyond that. There was an open small channel of living water coming from the river and extending to a lovely fountain in front the first temple. The fountain water projected into the air about 10 ft or so, and the return water came back to the river in a hidden pipe under the open small channel.

11. There were three stone steps to the front of the building. There were two side-by-side large doors, each 4 ft wide by 7 ft tall, hinged on the sides. There was a handle on each door in the center. I saw that an elevated porch was immediately in front of this entrance. Next we walked to the east of the building.

12. The entire building was constructed of beautiful smooth stone, very expertly built. The corners were of different coloring than the darker stone of the temple itself was 100 ft wide by 200 ft deep by 50 ft tall. It was set back 100 ft from the pathway in front of the eastern river.

13. There were beautiful windows with stained glass or other art glass in them. These seemed on each story of the temple. The grass and flowers and paths extended around the sides and back of the temple.

14. In the back there was another door and porch with steps similar to the front. I saw pools of water and beautifully landscaped areas surrounding this temple.

The room on the temple was gabled, and a single spire was above the front entrance on top of the roof. It was similar in shape to the tallest spire in the New Jerusalem celestial temple, it was 100 ft in height (150 ft from the ground.)

15. I saw that this temple was so very beautiful and exquisitely constructed to last a millennium. I was taken by the beauty of the surroundings as we circled the temple on the path that went around it.

16. We came again to the front porch. Heavenly Mother spoke again:





17. She and Heavenly Father then departed, and I found myself by my bed writing all of this down in my journal. I thanked her in prayer and started my day. I am excited to receive more this week!

AA. R's Personal Journal Entry, 8-4-2017 Friday

1. This morning I received more information about the New Jerusalem 24 temples. I was in prayer before the first temple to the east, just north of the east river and path. Heavenly Father spoke to me there, and he and Heavenly Mother walked around the first temple and showed me more details. He answered my detailed questions. These are all in my mind now, and are mostly about the structure and design of the building and the surrounding area.






2. These temples all face one of the rivers of living water. The one I walked around was facing south to the east river, and was the first temple on the north side of the river.

Some temples have three floors, and some have two floors. I believe all have a perimeter foundation and a basement area.

3. The windows are on the sides of the temple, and are 5 rows of windows per floor, 5 ft by 5 ft in size. I am not sure of the type of windows these are, but I think they all vary in design and clarity. It probably depends on the purpose of that temple. There are no basement windows. The front and back of each temple has no windows. These areas each have silver steps, three steps of normal height, and these are all silver.

4. The entry and exit doors are also silver, 4 ft wide by 7 ft tall, double doors (opening 8 ft wide by 7 ft tall), and hinged on the sides with three silver plated steel hinges. There is a silver path leading up to the steps from the fountain and the path next to the east river. These paths are stone-edged, similar to the paths in the temple square area, but are silver not gold. They are 12 ft wide. The silver is about 1-in thick on the path and on the steps and porch.

5. The fountain is 50 ft from the front path and 50 ft from the front door. It also has a circular shape, with the silver path going around it, similar to the temple square design around the fountain, two trees of life, and altar area.

There are stone paths around the temple going to the sides and the back. These are straight. On either side are beautifully landscaped areas with grass, flowers, trees and such.

6. There is one spire on each temple on the front of the roof. It is 50 ft square on each side at the base, and 100 ft tall. There is a solid silver pyramid on top of the spire, with an internal lightning rod. The silver pyramid is 12-in tall, similar to the gold pyramids on the celestial temple.

7. The temple is set back 100 ft from the closest edge of the path in front of the river of living water. There is 150 ft between adjacent temples, and 75 ft from the path on the side of the outer temples. Each temple is 100 ft wide by 200 ft deep and 50 ft tall to the corner of the roof. The gable is raised another 15 ft above the center and the roof overhangs the front and sides. There are gutters all around. The roof is of darker material than the sides of the temple.

8. The four corners of the temple are of rough stone I believe, and are lighter in color. The sides of the temple are smooth stone. All is very precision work.




9. There is a rough stone edge on the outside where the foundation is located. Since there is a basement, there is an edge foundation 12-in in thickness to support the 12-in thick stone walls. The outside perimeter foundation comes up two feet above the ground where the smooth wall begins and is attached. The height of the three steps is 21-in (7-in high steps), and an entry step of 3-in into the main floor of the temple. This floor is flush with the wall-foundation joint. Inside, the floor is of wood construction throughout the temple. There may be heavy wooden or steel beams as necessary underneath the flooring. I have yet to go inside, but just perceived this design as I observed from the outside.

10. I believe the temples are all made of the same glistening stone from which the celestial temple is made. I didn't see any precious stones or jewels on the outside of the temple like I did on the celestial temple.

1. This morning and last night in my prayer, I was privileged to go inside one of the 24 temples with my Heavenly Parents! They had me stand and walk between them as we entered the first eastern temple, which we had been walking around for several days now.

2. As we walked up the silver path to the silver doors, I noticed that the fountain was also made of silver–all of it! I then thought that the fountain of living water, in front of the celestial temple was all made of gold. I felt confirmed in this revelation too.

We walked up the three steps on the wide silver porch, and then entered the two silver doors.

3. The inside of the first of 24 temples was completely breathtakingly beautiful inside! This one had a main floor, two upper floors and a basement. There was a reception desk as we entered, out of beautifully carved wood. There were wooden and overstuffed chairs placed in the entry area.

4. I next saw the beautiful stairs leading immediately up to the next floor–at the front of the building. The next set of stairs ascended to the third floor in this same general location from the second floor. We walked up the stairs–very open and beautiful with polished wooden railings.


5. On the third floor, we entered a hallway and walked by the third floor windows to the second of two very large rooms, like chapels. We entered and stood at the back, looking north. There was a raised section and a podium, like an LDS chapel. The ceiling was angled with the slope of the roof, so that the center of this chapel was vaulted to about thirty feet high. There were benches facing the podium. There were lights that one could turn on I thought, of some sort to illuminate the chapel.

6. We walked out the other side and then south down the hallway on the west side. There was another similar chapel area we passed in the center of this top floor, similar to the one we passed through on the end.

We walked then to the second floor, down the stairs we had come up. I saw one large office or classroom. It seemed that the ceiling was about 15 ft tall or so–and all so beautifully constructed.

7. Heavenly Mother then spoke to me:


10. Heavenly Mother then embraced me! She held me close, then withdrew and placed her two hands on my shoulders as she smiled broadly at me. Heavenly Father then came and embraced me too! He told me he loved me.

11. They then withdrew a step, and started going up to the ceiling and then were gone. I was back at my bed, kneeling in prayer. I completed my prayer, thanking them for this communion today with then. I closed my prayer and started writing all of this down in my personal journal. I am now ready for the day!

AC. R's Personal Journal Entry, 8-6-2017 Sunday

1. Yesterday was very enjoyable. We had some family over, and ate outside and swam in our above-ground pool. The water was 90 degF (all from solar heating)! We had a very pleasant visit!

When I went to bed last night, I was pretty tired. I had prepared myself for my prayer, and felt I went in the sky above the north entrance to the New Jerusalem. I could see the entire city from my vantage point. I asked for my Heavenly Parents to come, and they both came to me, in the skies above the city. I waited upon God.

2. Heavenly Father then addressed me:


At that time, I lost awareness of my unconscious self and ended my prayer.

4. This morning I felt to write these things before I began my morning prayer.

As I was preparing for my prayer, I was by the sapling tree of life in current time, in the celestial world next to the temple of God. The trunk of the tree was 15-in in diameter; the spread of the branches and leaves was 30 ft wide and 20 ft tall. I didn't see any fruit on it, so I went to the mother tree of life. It was 60-in in diameter; the spread was 99 ft wide at the widest point and 45 ft tall. It was more of a sprawling tree than a tall tree. I partook of the white fruit and of one of the leaves from this tree of life.

5. This morning I prayed in the field north of the river representing Jesus Christ. My Heavenly Parents came before me. I looked into their pleasing eyes and faces. I then went down their bodies with my spiritual eyes, and saw their capes blowing in the breeze slightly. I remember this now too from last night when I saw them. It seems there is a shift of some sort in the directions my prayers and revelations will now turn.


6. Heavenly Mother then spoke to me:


10. I then saw my Heavenly Parents step back and leave into the heavenly sky above. I then confirmed each of those who wrote to sustain me, as Heavenly Mother instructed. I made a mental note, and will later write their names down. I am now ready to start this beautiful Sabbath day!

11. Later:
I listened to a podcast from Julie Rowe about fear energy. I thought it was very good. I want to eliminate areas that I associate with fear. . .

These fears are real, but of varying amounts of fear. I just push these fears away now, and try to replace them with positive truths that create happy feelings, thereby replacing fear energy. I also trust fully in my God to lead me along. This replaces fear, which is from the adversary and not from God.

12. Last night I added images to my post. It is very lengthy. I hope it is not too long. I have yet to type in my journal entries from Saturday, today and tomorrow. My sister K said she would send me the edits tomorrow.


13. Later, after sacrament:
My wife and I attended a local ward for sacrament meeting today. I visualized I was in the field just north of the tree of life, on the north side of the river representing Jesus Christ. I made my covenant in my mind in this field, and waited upon my Heavenly Parents. They both came, and were smiling. Their capes were no longer blowing in the wind.

14. After I partook of the bread, Heavenly Father spoke while in front of me, with my Heavenly Mother on his side:

1. I received an email from a mortal angel this morning. She asked:


2. In my prayer this morning, I again found myself in the same field as yesterday, in the celestial world above. My Heavenly Parents came. Heavenly Mother spoke to me:
