Doctrine & Covenants 1:3-5
3 And the rebellious shall be pierced with much sorrow; for their iniquities shall be spoken upon the housetops, and their secret acts shall be revealed.
4 And the voice of warning shall be unto all people, by the mouths of my disciples, whom I have chosen in these last days.
5 And they shall go forth and none shall stay them, for I the Lord have commanded them.
201F27, from Heavenly Father: "When you arrive permanently at the New Jerusalem in two months, you will start to share your own records of Raphael. These will be done sequentially, as we inspire you to share. In the span of a year and a half, you will have shared all of your records with this people. As other travelers arrive, other teachers will start sharing these same records in sequential order. For those unfamiliar with the standard works, there will be classes for these as well. We will continue to educate our people in gospel scholarship. These truths will be revealed from the housetops in certain groups, so that all may hear, in fulfillment of prophecy (see Luke 12:3 and D&C 1:3). These times of religious instruction will become a very beloved time of each day. This sort of instruction will continue daily, including the sabbath. We will continue in this manner until we formally organize the Church of Christ among the inhabitants of Zion."
July 10, 2024: It has now been nearly a full three years since this revelation above from Heavenly Father was given (given on July 29, 2021). I have remained in Utah since I was supposed to come to Zion permanently on September 22, 2021. See my note in Genesis 49:26, a portion which is written below:
From April 26, 2024: "Here is what I felt to write, in my own words but directly from Heavenly Father to my mind, even as I typed this:
. . . Just before you were to come to the New Jerusalem together with them, you and your wife came before us in the Spirit and asked of us to allow you to stay behind in your telestial mortal world, so that you could help your loved ones in the trials of the last days events leading up to the second coming of Jesus Christ. You would then come to the New Jerusalem after the second coming of Jesus Christ. Your Heavenly Mother and I agreed to allow you to stay behind at that time. This is why you have not come to the New Jerusalem earlier as we had promised you.
Now that your ___ acre property is changed to a terrestrial state, it is in the same state of glory as that of the New Jerusalem where you would have come in September 2021. Your property is, however, not yet all transitioned to this terrestrial state as is the New Jerusalem area. You also are eating and drinking terrestrial food and living water, just as you would have done in the New Jerusalem. Raphael, you also are replicated there in Zion, in your translated celestial being, even while you are living with your family in your home and property.
Your Heavenly Mother and I are very pleased to now extend to you, to your wife and to your son the same promised blessing of health and strength that your Heavenly Mother gave to you and that you wrote down on Monday, June 21, 2021 in your post 197. All of these promises will be extended to you three while living in your mortal life, prior to the second coming of Jesus Christ! We will extend this great blessing to you gradually over the months ahead. All of these blessing we will give you because of your continued faithfulness to us, your Heavenly Parents!"
This morning I wondered if, since my replicated translated celestial being is in the New Jerusalem, whether my record of Raphael is also there, and has been disseminated and taught among the people, including, the 144,000 who reside there.
In my meditation and prayer this morning, I humbly asked my Heavenly Father if the promise he gave me that the records of Raphael would be shared with those who dwelt in the New Jerusalem was fulfilled already, even though we haven't come permanently to the terrestrial realm of the New Jerusalem. Heavenly Father asked me to record his words as he spoke them to my mind:
July 10, 2024: "Raphael, I am pleased that you have come before me, asking this question about the Book of Raphael being shared with the inhabitants of the New Jerusalem.
When you and your wife came before us, asking to remain in the telestial realm of the earth with your grown children and posterity, your Heavenly Mother and I agreed with your request. In addition, we said that all of our promises that we had extended to you would still continue to be fulfilled, only now through you as a translated celestial mortal in the New Jerusalem. This included you sharing with and teaching the elect in the New Jerusalem your record of Raphael.
Now, after nearly three years, all of the 144,000 who live in the New Jerusalem area are very familiar with the revelations that we had given you as you recorded them in this powerful record. These, our terrestrial servants, will use these revelations and all others we have revealed to our prophets and holy people that they have received, in teaching and gathering the elect from all the earth. This group of 144,000 translated terrestrial servants are now armed with knowledge and testimony of my word that has been revealed to them, and witnessed to their souls as they confirmed your words in prayer to your Heavenly Mother and me.
The 144,000 have not as yet gone forth as a group into the telestial mortal world, for they first had to be prepared with this knowledge and power from on high. They are now prepared, and wait for the day of their teaching and great gathering of our elect to the New Jerusalem in the terrestrial world."
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his words to me this morning! I am so grateful for the spirit of clarity that I feel now, and of support and assurance. I confirmed that what I have written was from him and not from me, and was accurate.

Doctrine & Covenants 1:16
16 They seek not the Lord to establish his righteousness, but every man walketh in his own way, and after the image of his own god, whose image is in the likeness of the world, and whose substance is that of an idol, which waxeth old and shall perish in Babylon, even Babylon the great, which shall fall.
143D6-143D14, from Heavenly Mother: "Raphael, you have seen in the mural this morning that our light is sent to the earth, to the hearts and minds of our children, but now so many don't receive it. "They seek not the Lord to establish his righteousness, but every man walketh in his own way, and after the image of his own god, whose image is in the likeness of the world, and whose substance is that of an idol, which waxeth old and shall perish in Babylon, even Babylon the great, which shall fall." (D&C 1:16)
These are walking in darkness at noonday (D&C 95:6), and our love and light will not continue in them, for they have rejected us; therefore they walk in darkness (see D&C 95:12).
D&C 112:23-"Verily, verily, I say unto you, darkness covereth the earth, and gross darkness the minds of the people, and all flesh has become corrupt before my face."
Raphael, the whole earth groans under this darkness and the weight of this iniquity (D&C 123:7), even like when Enoch saw and heard the voice of the earth when Jesus Christ was lifted up upon the cross: "And he heard a loud voice; and the heavens were veiled; and all the creations of God mourned; and the earth groaned; and the rocks were rent; and the saints arose, and were crowned at the right hand of the Son of Man, with crowns of glory;" (Moses 7:56).'
At this time I heard a low groaning sound coming from the mural! Both Heavenly Mother and I looked upon the earth in the mural, and we heard these words from the earth-the words in the low groaning were exactly those that Enoch heard and that is recorded in Moses 7:48-
"Wo, wo is me, the mother of men; I am pained, I am weary, because of the wickedness of my children. When shall I rest, and be cleansed from the filthiness which is gone forth out of me? When will my Creator sanctify me, that I may rest, and righteousness for a season abide upon my face?"
Heavenly Mother spoke: 'Raphael, the earth now mourns under the weight of sin and darkness! Your Father and I have endured long enough, for the entire earth and its inhabitants have been in darkness long enough. Our anger and wrath are soon to be kindled, even to destroy the darkness that grips the earth and our children who reside on her face! We will take vengeance upon the ungodly who continually reject our light and truth! We will clear away the darkness and send forth our abundant light and truth upon the earth, "to sweep the earth as with a flood, to gather out (our) elect from the four quarters of the earth." (see Moses 7:62). We will do this great sweeping of the darkness with our power, and through our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, and by our many angels and servants that we have called and commissioned with our power and strength.'
I then saw on the mural great tribulations coming to the earth. I saw earthquakes, great destructions; water heaving beyond their shores. I saw severe weather gripping the earth, and even the very earth convulsing and shaking violently under the commands of God through their servants, to destroy and cleanse the land! I saw wars, plagues, famine, and disasters of all kinds. I saw the wicked destroying the wicked until much of the evil and darkness was gone.
Heavenly Mother spoke: 'Raphael, these events all need to come so that the gross darkness may be removed from the earth and her inhabitants.
We do this great cleansing for the sake of the righteous on her surface, and for unborn elect who will soon come to the earth."

Doctrine & Covenants 1:22
22 That mine everlasting covenant might be established;
Fri, Jul 12, 2024
This everlasting covenant is started in the Church of Christ, and fulfilled in the celestial New Jerusalem temple, the celestial temple on the celestial orb, and on the celestial earth, all in the Church of the Firstborn. The references to this everlasting covenant point to this greatest covenant that the Father and Mother make with their children, even that of the promise and fulfillment of eternal life and exaltation.
This promise is realized when Raphael administers the waters of separation ordinance to each faithful elect individual, who has been individually chosen and redeemed by Jesus Christ. Immediately after they are received into the Church of the Firstborn by Raphael, their names are written by Oriphiel in the Lamb's Book of Life, with the unalterable promise that they will be exalted, even as a God in eternity. This is the true meaning of the everlasting covenant of the Father and Mother.
114G21, from Heavenly Mother: "We have chosen to have the baptism ordinance be done in a mortal body. The waters of separation may be done for anyone who has a physical mortal, translated, or resurrected body. The other ordinances of the New Jerusalem temple need to be done in person in one's own resurrected body."
23G1-23G4: "The entry church is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The church required to enter for our exaltation is the church of the Firstborn. The entry requirement for the church of Christ (the future new name for the [replacement of the] Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) is baptism and the laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost. One also develops faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and repents of his sins as he comes out of the world into the community of believers in Christ. Temple work (Endowment and Sealing) are also the crowning ordinances in this church. [However, these ordinances in the temples of the Church of Christ are preparatory ordinances, and are not binding in eternity. Only those temple ordinances administered by the angels of God or God are acceptable in eternity.]
Once a person has pressed forward in faith, feasting upon the words of Christ (2 Nephi 31:20-21, 32:5-6), and Jesus has proven him sufficiently, and refined and purified him, the member then becomes fully begotten spiritually of Jesus Christ. Then is he or she accepted into the church of the Firstborn: "And all those who are begotten through me are partakers of the glory of the same, and are the church of the Firstborn." (D&C 93:22). The entry requirement into this second church is simple: Jesus Christ fully accepts the person spiritually, fully accepting him or her as his son or daughter. We become children of Christ, for he has spiritually begotten us (see Mosiah 5:7). Jesus Christ is the keeper of the gate (2 Nephi 9:41), for the way for man is narrow, but lieth in a straight course before him. He cannot be deceived. There is none other way to our exaltation.
Once a person is accepted into the church of the Firstborn in mortality, he has the more sure word of prophecy-meaning he knows he is sealed up unto eternal life by revelation (see D&C 131:5). He is recipient of all things (D&C 76:55), and dwells in the presence of God and his Christ forever and ever (D&C 76:62). These are they who come to an innumerable company of angels to the general assembly (D&C 76:67).
The church of the Firstborn is the same church of which we were committed members prior to coming to the earth. This is now our second estate towards Godhood: "And they who keep their first estate shall be added upon (R: these are those of us who joined the church of the Firstborn prior to coming to the earth); and they who keep not their first estate shall not have glory in the same kingdom with those who keep their first estate (R: this was Satan and his hosts); and they who keep their second estate shall have glory added upon their heads for ever and ever. (R: these are those who have become spiritually begotten of Jesus Christ, becoming members again of the church of the Firstborn)" (Abraham 3:26)"
53H2-53H4: "I first inquired of the general procedure of entry into the Church of the Firstborn. This has several steps"
1. Acceptance of the individual by Jesus Christ, the Great Redeemer, into his church.
2. Waters of separation ordinance performed by Raphael and Oriphiel.
3. Temple ordinance for exaltation, all done by the holy angels of God. All of the angels will be involved in the temple ordinances except Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, and Oriphiel. This includes all the healing angels, warrior angels, proclamation angels, and all others. These will have appointments and responsibilities to participate in all of the ordinances, all performed in certain areas of the [celestial] New Jerusalem temple complex:
4. The order of the ordinances are
a. Washings-cleansing from the blood and sins of earth life.
b. Anointings to become Gods and Goddesses.
c. Placement of robes of exaltation on the candidate, all made by Heavenly Parents.
d. Endowment ceremony which teaches about the power and principles of Godhood. Included are tokens and signs and a prayer circle in the true order of prayer. Also included are essential truths taught by the holy angels.
e. Passing through the veil-the candidates and the angels are on one side of the veil, and either Heavenly Father or Heavenly Mother are on the other side of the veil. When the robed candidate passes through the veil, they enter into the presence of their Heavenly Parents again.
f. Sealing, all done by Heavenly Father, Heavenly Mother or Jesus Christ. The husband is sealed to the wife, and the wife is sealed to the husband. This is done in the temple in heaven in one of three special sealing rooms on the same floor as the throne room (4th floor).
At this point, the exalted couple are both full members of the Church of the Firstborn. They become high priests and high priestesses. They then begin the process of learning how to become a God together and how to rule and reign in their own kingdom. I believe a lot of this teaching begins at the end of the millennium."
107A4-107A7, from Heavenly Mother: "On earth, we have restored our temple ordinances to the Church of Christ through the prophet Joseph Smith. These included all the saving ordinances, but only the ordinance of baptism for the dead and the laying on of hands for the bestowal of the gift of the Holy Ghost will be valid for all eternity in this Church of Christ. Nevertheless, in our wisdom we revealed a version of the other ordinances that belong to the Church of the Firstborn. We did this so that our faithful children could participate in and look forward to the day that these ordinances would be performed by the angels in the New Jerusalem temple, or by us, their Heavenly Parents, in the celestial temple or on the celestial earth.
If our obedient children are true and faithful, the day will come that they will be chosen and called up to receive all of these ordinances in our celestial realms, that are binding for all eternity. They will understand these ordinances much more thoroughly, having prepared themselves in the preparatory non-binding ordinances in the Church of Christ. For example, the endowment ceremony practiced in the Church of Christ prepares our faithful children for the time when our angels will perform the binding endowment ordinance in the New Jerusalem temple. Those who receive this will be prepared by having practiced this many times in the Church of Christ. The final binding ordinance is in the Church of the Firstborn.
We also have chosen Oriphiel, our archangel, to record the names of those who are admitted into the Church of the Firstborn. Once they will have been chosen by Jesus Christ, to enter into this Church of the Firstborn, then you, Raphael, will call them up by name. You will then admit them into the Church of the Firstborn with the waters of separation ordinance. Oriphiel will then record each name in the Lamb's Book of Life. Once this is completed, the other ordinances, binding for eternity, will be performed for our faithful children.
In the preparatory ordinance of the endowment, in the Church of Christ, we had this phrase inserted: "If you are true and faithful, the day will come when you will be chosen, called up and anointed Kings and Queens, High Priests and High Priestesses, whereas you are now anointed only to become such. The realization of these blessings depends on your faithfulness." Our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, chooses the candidate, you, Raphael, call them up, and Oriphiel records their names. They then are anointed by the angels and by their Heavenly Father and me in the final blessings in our celestial realms. At the end of this process, they are truly Kings and Queens, High Priests and High Priestesses, to rule and reign in the house of Israel forever. They become Gods, even couple Gods as are we.'"
184G3-184G5: "Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, your Heavenly Mother spoke to you many truths last night about family relationships. We seal couples together as husbands and wives, and this is the eternal family in eternity. Those who are their earthly children and who attain the same glorious exaltation, are sealed to them as their children. This is the ordinance which we, your Gods, will do once the couples all are ordained Gods, even couple Gods in eternity (see your post 82L2). Those who were children on an earth will be sealed by us to their earthly parents, in an ordinance in the Church of the Firstborn. This is to signify the continuation of a relationship between them in eternity, as family and as lasting friends. There will therefore be a great welding link in eternity between the Gods, forming an eternal extended family and friend relationship.
Joseph Smith, our prophet, mentioned this welding link in D&C 128:18, when referring to the baptism for the dead. This is the turning of the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the children to their fathers. Once exalted, these parents and children will be linked eternally in a sealing ordinance that we, their Gods, will do. We desire the hearts of these earthly family members to continue to be bound together in love, interest and friendship.
On earth and eternity, the great relationship of primary focus is the marriage relationship. Children may come and enhance this core family unit, but will also pass through, creating their own family with their chosen spouse. This marriage relationship continues in eternity as this couple is sealed together as couple Gods. This is the true meaning of the core eternal family. The exalted children are sealed back to their earthly parents, and form a larger network of an extended family in eternity.'"
82L1-82L5: "I have been mulling over what Heavenly Mother shared with me yesterday. I am trying to clearly delineate what I received. Maybe this will help:
1) in the telestial church, (LDS Church), or the terrestrial church (Church of Christ in the millennium), the members practice and perform the following ordinances:
Baptism (valid and honored by God for eternity)
Laying on of hands for the Holy Ghost (valid for eternity)
Priesthood ordination in person to the Melchizedek Priesthood, not in temples by proxy (valid for eternity this done [if the one ordaining] was holding currently the priesthood [him]self)
High Priestess ordination in person, not in temples by proxy (to be done in the future Church of Christ, since this was rejected by the LDS church leaders-valid for eternity)
Other Temple ordinances (washings, anointings, endowments, sealing of children to parents, and sealing of spouses together. These are not valid for eternity, with a version of each performed in the telestial/terrestrial temples to prepare the heart and minds of the members of the church for the final, binding ordinances, later to be performed in the Church of the Firstborn at some future period.)
Second Comforter (the appearing of Jesus Christ, stating to the individual that he/she is an approved candidate for entrance into the Church of the Firstborn.)
2) In the Church of the Firstborn, the only celestial church in eternity, the following events and ordinances are performed: Waters of separation (entry ordinance into the Church of the Firstborn, performed by Raphael and Oriphiel, archangels of God. The new member then has his/her name recorded in the Book of Life, the celestial record of heaven. This ordinance is valid for eternity.)
Washing, by the angels (valid for eternity)
Anointing by the angels (valid for eternity)
Clothing in robes of exaltation by the angels (valid for eternity)
Ordination by the angels to the Melchizedek Priesthood for the men if not previously ordained, or to the office of High Priestesses for the women, if not previously received up to this time (valid for eternity)
Endowment by the angels (valid for eternity)
Sealing of exalted children to their exalted parents, performed by Heavenly Father, Heavenly Mother or Jesus Christ (valid for eternity)
Ordination to Godhood, performed jointly my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother (valid for eternity)
This seems clear to me now, whereas before yesterday, I wasn't sure of how it was delineated.
In the millennial day, the new Church of Christ, the only [true] terrestrial church, will operate all the temples on the earth except the New Jerusalem central [celestial] temple. This temple, located in the Temple Square area [Eden], is a celestial temple. The New Jerusalem temple is the only temple that this Church of the Firstborn operates and manages. The other celestial temple, the temple in heaven, is operated directly by Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother. This temple is also their heavenly home. All of the celestial ordinances for exaltation and Godhood are performed in these two temples except perhaps the final ordinance to become a God or a Goddess in eternity. This latter ordinance to become a God or a Goddess might be performed on the celestial earth where the initial inheritance for this new exalted couple is given. The location of this final ordinance is all determined by Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother.
In the millennium, the preparatory church (the Church of Christ) will prepare its members for entrance and acceptance into the celestial church, the Church of the Firstborn. Temple ordinances will be performed in both churches. This will be a great part of the work of God during the thousand-year millennial period.
All of the ordinances of the Church of the Firstborn will be done directly for the new member, and not by proxy. The work of live and proxy ordinances will continue in the Church of Christ, similar to how they are now done in the LDS Church. For those who are deceased, their living descendants may perform proxy temple work for them. Both the living and the dead may also prepare their hearts and minds by participating in these preparatory ordinances. When these individuals, living in mortality or dead, are finally approved by Jesus Christ for entrance into the Church of the Firstborn, they come themselves as either mortals, translated or resurrected individuals. After the initial ordinance of the waters of separation, they will go through the remainder of the temple ordinances as resurrected individuals. Their robes of resurrection will be replaced with their new robes of exaltation when they are robed by the angels of God [in] the New Jerusalem Temple. All of God's children who will be exalted will go through the New Jerusalem Temple for their own ordinance work. There is great power and advancement for these individuals as they go through with their chosen spouse, and usually with those in their immediate family who are also becoming exalted."
July 12, 2024: This morning in my scripture study I was pondering the role of the Church of Christ in the millennial day, in the terrestrial temples operated by this church. I wondered if it were true that proxy temple work were to be done for the dead, and who these dead were? As I was pondering, I asked my Heavenly Father these questions. He then spoke to me, and then wanted me to write his words. Here are his words as he revealed them to me, as best I could write them, in my own words as they came to me:
"Raphael, there will be proxy ordinances for the righteous dead whom I have chosen as my elect. These are individuals who lived on the telestial and terrestrial earth since the days of Adam and Eve. The records in heaven will be revealed to the members of the Church of Christ in the millennium, so that they will be able to identify these elect individuals by revelation from those living in the celestial worlds where these records are kept. The names which are revealed will be the ones for whom the proxy work is to be done in the terrestrial temples in the millennium. Those who are dead, who have not been chosen by your Heavenly Mother and me as our elect, will not have their proxy temple work performed.
Once the proxy work is finished once for an individual, their names will be recorded in the Church of Christ, along with the ordinances done. Only the righteous elect who have not had previous valid temple work done in a telestial or terrestrial temple, will be candidates for these ordinances. For those who haven't received a valid baptism in the flesh, or who haven't received the gift of the Holy Ghost by the laying on of the hands previously, or for those who haven't been ordained to either the Melchizedek Priesthood for men, or the office of High Priestess for women, will then receive these by proxy. These proxy ordinances of baptism, reception of the Holy Ghost, and ordinations to the Melchizedek Priesthood or High Priestess, will be valid for eternity for these individuals.
Our elect who live in mortality in the terrestrial millennial day will have opportunity to receive their own baptism, laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost, and ordination to the Melchizedek Priesthood or High Priestess in the Church of Christ. They may also receive live ordinances for themselves in these terrestrial temples. They may then also act as patrons for the dead, and be able to repeat these ordinances in their behalf.
There will be other ordinances in the terrestrial temples done for both the living and the dead individuals, including washings and anointings, clothing in the holy garment, endowment, and sealings of spouses and sealings of children to their parents. These are all preparatory ordinances, which will be done by the patrons living in the millennial day for themselves, and by proxy for those who are dead in the terrestrial temples operated by the Church of Christ. These are not binding ordinances for eternity, for they will all be finally done and eternally binding in the Church of the Firstborn by the angels and by us, their Gods. This practice of doing non-binding ordinances in terrestrial temples will help the living and those who are dead, as well as the patrons serving them as proxies multiple times, to look forward to their own ordinances at a future time in our celestial temples and realms. When they finally receive their eternally binding ordinances, they will be very familiar with what they receive, and may thus be adequately prepared."
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his clarifying words. I felt that what I had written above was from him, and not from me. I confirmed what I received to be from my Heavenly Father.

Doctrine & Covenants 1:29-30
29 And after having received the record of the Nephites, yea, even my servant Joseph Smith, Jun., might have power to translate through the mercy of God, by the power of God, the Book of Mormon.
30 And also those to whom these commandments were given, might have power to lay the foundation of this church, and to bring it forth out of obscurity and out of darkness, the only true and living church upon the face of the whole earth, with which I, the Lord, am well pleased, speaking unto the church collectively and not individually
Tue, Oct 24, 2023
This statement is a possibility statement by the Lord, and not a statement of fact. He uses the subjective tense of the been "might". This is explained here- "Today that phrase is quoted repeatedly by members and leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who say that "the Lord declared this to be 'the only true and living church upon the face of the whole earth...' " Unfortunately, that is not a declaration from The Lord; it is more of a wish. D&C 1:30 is worded not as an indicative statement (of fact) but a subjunctive statement (a hope or possibility). What The Lord was saying here is that a true and living church was a possibility."(See reference here).

Doctrine & Covenants 1:35-36
35 For I am no respecter of persons, and will that all men shall know that the day speedily cometh; the hour is not yet, but is nigh at hand, when peace shall be taken from the earth, and the devil shall have power over his own dominion.
36 And also the Lord shall have power over his saints, and shall reign in their midst, and shall come down in judgment upon Idumea, or the world.
Tue, Jul 9, 2024
Peace has now been taken off the earth, Aug 31 2014. This I found when praying on that date.
177G13-177G14, Nov 3, 2020, from Heavenly Father: "I then thought of the scripture in D&C 1:35-36, where God states that "peace shall be taken from the earth":
D&C 1:35-36
"For I am no respecter of persons, and will that all men shall know that the day speedily cometh; the hour is not yet, but is nigh at hand, when peace shall be taken from the earth, and the devil shall have power over his own dominion
And also the Lord shall have power over his saints, and shall reign in their midst, and shall come down in judgment upon Idumea, or the world."
Father then spoke to me again:
'Raphael, tomorrow peace will be taken off the earth. This will fulfill the prophecy in D&C 1:35. You had difficulties today, not only with those whom you love that are close to you, but also in the premonition that there would be no more peace except among the faithful elect, among our Zion communities, or in the millennial day coming soon to the earth. Your Heavenly Mother and I will bring peace to our elect, even in times of unrest when there is no peace on the earth. We will give them peace as they humbly come to us in prayer, and allow us to fill them with our light, even as I have done for you tonight.'"

Doctrine & Covenants 1:38
38 What I the Lord have spoken, I have spoken, and I excuse not myself; and though the heavens and the earth pass away, my word shall not pass away, but shall all be fulfilled, whether by mine own voice or by the voice of my servants, it is the same.
43H5, from R: "And I read D&C 1:38 which confirms that we sustain the leaders AS they are inspired by the Holy Ghost. I believe if they are not, like commandments of men, then we follow what the Spirit testifies for us to do (which we do in any case)."

Doctrine & Covenants 2:1-3
1 Behold, I will reveal unto you the Priesthood, by the hand of Elijah the prophet, before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.
2 And he shall plant in the hearts of the children the promises made to the fathers, and the hearts of the children shall turn to their fathers.
3 If it were not so, the whole earth would be utterly wasted at his coming.
163L6-163L8: "During my prayer this morning, I asked also how my future journey would be like that of Elijah's. Heavenly Father then brought Elijah the Tishbite into our circle. He appeared in a heavy beard with rough clothes on, probably how he looked on earth. He spoke to me:
'Raphael, you will take a journey in the celestial realms and confront leaders of your day, much like I did anciently when I interacted with King Ahab and his servants.'
I then had received my answer. I will wait and see what happens!
Later: I want to finish my prayer notes from this morning. When I started my prayer this morning, Heavenly Father came from my left side and Heavenly Mother from my right side. They extended both of their hands to me and I took both of their hands and stood up. Then Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother took each other's free hands and we were in a tight circle. When Heavenly Father brought Elijah into the circle, he let go of Heavenly Mother's hand and opened the circle into a U-shape and then Elijah came in front of us, before the fountain of living water.
When Elijah ended speaking, he then turned and left at the east side of the fountain. Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother stayed with me. However, I had to leave the prayer since my day in mortality beckoned me. I believe I stayed with my Heavenly Parents and kept being in their presence next to the fountain of living water."
Tues, Dec 10, 2024:
After my prayer this morning, I pondered about the above post 163L, of my interaction with my Heavenly Parents in the circle, and of Elijah coming into this circle, now some seven years ago. Heavenly Mother had given me the same food that I had given Elijah when he was in mortality, because his journey was going to be long and hard, and he needed the nourishment (see 163K3-163K5).
Yesterday, I had read D&C 2 where there is an excerpt from Moroni speaking to Joseph Smith in September, 1823:
D&C 2:1-3
"Behold, I will reveal unto you the Priesthood, by the hand of Elijah the prophet, before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.
And he shall plant in the hearts of the children the promises made to the fathers, and the hearts of the children shall turn to their fathers.
If it were not so, the whole earth would be utterly wasted at his coming."
I had recently been told that the most important thing to my Heavenly Parents was the work that Oriphiel and I were doing in the Celestial New Jerusalem temple, by administering the waters of separation ordinance to the elect, and in writing their names in the Lamb's book of Life. This was even of greater importance than the timing of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ to the earth. (see my entry in D&C 131:14-15 dated Nov 23, 2024, a part of which is given below: "What is far more important to your Heavenly Mother, Jesus Christ, and me, than the exact timing of the events of the second coming, is the essential eternal ordinance work in our New Jerusalem celestial temple which has already begun! You are continuing, day by day, to administer in your replicated celestial body, the waters of separation ordinance to our elect with Oriphiel, our faithful witness and record-keeper. These newly elected individuals who are admitted as members of the Church of the Firstborn are almost exclusively those who have passed on and have been resurrected. These have all been proven and accepted by Jesus Christ, who has chosen them for entry into the Church of the Firstborn. Whether the millennium will have began or not, these celestial ordinances are moving forward, unaffected by the events of the telestial mortal world in which you live. This is the primary reason why the timing of the second coming of Jesus Christ is not fixed, for we have already set up the very most important event affecting the eternal life of our beloved elect children in the New Jerusalem temple.")
I have prepared myself to hear my Heavenly Father or Mother. I have studied all I could read, and pondered these words. I now am at my computer writing, and approach my Heavenly Parents, with this question:
"Why did Moroni state that the Priesthood would be revealed by the hand of Elijah the prophet? Was there something in turning the hearts of the children to their fathers, and the fathers to the children, that I would, as Raphael, be doing in the celestial realms? I know that the earth would be utterly wasted at the coming of Christ were these things not done."
Heavenly Father then spoke to my mind, in answer to my questions. Here are his words, as best I can hear and write, in my own words as they flowed quickly and freely into my mind:
"Raphael, I am your Father in Heaven. Beside me is your Heavenly Mother and the prophet Elijah, the Tishbite who was given the sealing power in his day on the earth by the laying on of hands from Jesus Christ. We have invited him to witness to you of your sacred and important mission that in many ways will be similar to his.
You had a spiritual experience that happened on our celestial orb with you, Elijah, your Heavenly Mother and me on November 27, 2017 (see 163L6-163L8). At that time we didn't reveal to you what occurred in the circle that we made with you and Elijah. I will now reveal what happened at that time.
When Elijah came into the circle, and we were all holding hands, he spoke words to you and conferred upon you the sealing key of my priesthood. I will ask Elijah, who is now with us again, to recount what he spoke and did in November, 2017:"
Elijah:
"Raphael, I have been asked by our Heavenly Parents to witness to you what occurred in our circle on that day over seven years ago. I came to you and conferred upon you the sealing key that I received on earth from Jesus Christ, by the laying on of hands. This sealing power allowed me to shut up the heavens on earth, and to cause no rain to fall. It also allowed me to pray and allow the rains to begin again. This power also allowed me to use the sealing power in heaven, according the commandments of Heavenly Father, whose priesthood this is. I have not used this sealing power in the celestial worlds, but have waited to confer it upon you, so that you could use this power according to the commandment of the Father and Mother in the New Jerusalem celestial temple.
The spiritual power of sealing in the celestial realms is far more important than sealing the heavens in the telestial world. This sealing key is a priesthood key that may attend the Melchizedek priesthood of the Father, that allows the possessor to seal or loose on earth and to seal or loose in heaven. What was thus sealed would be recognized by Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother as binding for eternity.
In the circle that I was invited into on November 27, 2017, I was instructed by the Father to lay my hands on your head, and to confer the priesthood key of sealing upon you. This key was conferred upon me by Jesus Christ when I was living in mortality. This key to the priesthood is done by a conferral ordinance, just like you were conferred the Melchizedek priesthood earlier in your life. This conferral of the priesthood key of sealing was called by the angel Moroni as "the Priesthood" in D&C 2:1:
"Behold, I will reveal unto you the Priesthood, by the hand of Elijah the prophet, before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord."
Raphael, since you already had been conferred the Melchizedek priesthood previously, traced from your priesthood lineage back to Joseph Smith and Peter, James, and John, you did not need to have the Father's priesthood reconferred upon you again. The fulfillment of Malachi's words, in D&C 2:1 as delivered by Moroni to Joseph Smith, was fulfilled in our circle on the celestial orb on in November of 2017, when I laid my hands on your head and conferred upon you the sealing key of the Melchizedek Priesthood."
Heavenly Father resumed speaking:
"We withheld this important information from you at the time you received the priesthood key of sealing since you were not ready for it in your conscious, mortal mind, and since the mortal angels who supported you were also not yet prepared for this information. However, now is the time to have it revealed to you, seven year later. With this additional priesthood power, resident in the sealing key that you possess, you are able to fully act as our representative in officiating in the ordinance of the waters of separation, in our New Jerusalem celestial temple. What you pronounce and seal in the words of that ordinance, is binding in the heavens in all eternity. These ordinances are fully acceptable to your Heavenly Mother and me. We will honor the Everlasting Covenant that is entered into at this time by our faithful elect children.
The Everlasting Covenant was first revealed in part to Abraham, and then referred to over the ages by our prophets. It is of utmost importance to your Heavenly Mother and me, even so much so that the earth would be utterly wasted at the coming of Jesus Christ had it not been revealed and implemented.
The key of sealing of my eternal priesthood is now conferred solely upon Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son, upon Elijah, upon Joseph Smith, and finally upon you, Raphael. This key was once resident in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but has since been removed by me. This key is now actively used by you when you administer the waters of separation ordinance in our celestial temple in the New Jerusalem.
This same key will be conferred in the future upon the head of the restored Church of Christ by the prophet Joseph Smith himself. This key will allow that future terrestrial church to perform baptisms for the dead, acceptable to your Heavenly Mother and me. This action is described by Joseph Smith in D&C 128:17-18 concerning the baptisms for the dead in the temples.
The waters of separation ordinance is the entry ordinance into the Church of the Firstborn, just like baptism is the entry ordinance into the Church of Christ. This is how we planned and ordained it from the beginning, before the world was created. It is necessary for my priesthood sealing key to be attendant with the administrators of both baptisms for the dead and waters of separation ordinances, for them to be recognized before me. Unlike baptism, which may be performed by multiple worthy priesthood holders, you are the only one we have chosen to administer the waters of separation ordinance
You received the sealing key directly from Elijah in November 2017, even before all the priesthood keys were removed from the LDS Church on January 2, 2018 upon the death of Thomas S. Monson. We always had one of our chosen mortal leaders on earth holding this priesthood key of sealing, during this last and final dispensation. At this time you are the only holder of this key in mortality."
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his amazing words this morning! I feel so humbled and awed at this remarkable explanation from my Father this morning.
Evening: I have read and pondered over this revelation throughout the day. I marvel how all of this was planned by my Heavenly Parents, even before this world was created!
I next wondered if D&C 2:2 ("And he shall plant in the hearts of the children the promises made to the fathers, and the hearts of the children shall turn to their fathers.") was also in some way fulfilled with my ordinance work in the New Jerusalem temple, or if that promise referred only to the proxy baptism for the dead? This latter was explained by Joseph Smith in D&C 128:17-18, which reads as follows:
"17 And again, in connection with this quotation [1 Corinthians 15:29] I will give you a quotation from one of the prophets, who had his eye fixed on the restoration of the priesthood, the glories to be revealed in the last days, and in an especial manner this most glorious of all subjects belonging to the everlasting gospel, namely, the baptism for the dead; for Malachi says, last chapter, verses 5th and 6th: Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord: And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.
18 I might have rendered a plainer translation to this, but it is sufficiently plain to suit my purpose as it stands. It is sufficient to know, in this case, that the earth will be smitten with a curse unless there is a welding link of some kind or other between the fathers and the children, upon some subject or other-and behold what is that subject? It is the baptism for the dead. For we without them cannot be made perfect; neither can they without us be made perfect. Neither can they nor we be made perfect without those who have died in the gospel also; for it is necessary in the ushering in of the dispensation of the fulness of times, which dispensation is now beginning to usher in, that a whole and complete and perfect union, and welding together of dispensations, and keys, and powers, and glories should take place, and be revealed from the days of Adam even to the present time. And not only this, but those things which never have been revealed from the foundation of the world, but have been kept hid from the wise and prudent, shall be revealed unto babes and sucklings in this, the dispensation of the fulness of times."
I again came humbly before my Heavenly Parents this evening, while in the quiet of my front room. I asked my question above and waited. I had no idea what their response would be.
I then felt to write the words that would come into my mind:
"Raphael, this is your Heavenly Mother speaking. The scripture you asked about, in D&C 2:2, refers only to the baptisms for the dead, and not to the ordinance of waters of separation. The waters of separation ordinance is administered by you for each individual in their resurrected or physical mortal body, on the acceptance of Jesus Christ for them to be admitted into the Church of the Firstborn. In this ordinance, there is no issue of any hearts being turned to the fathers or the children, for this ordinance is individually received for that person, and not for proxy for another.
D&C 2:3 states the following: "If it were not so, the whole earth would be utterly wasted at his coming."
This scripture refers both to the need for the sealing key of the priesthood to be restored for 1) baptisms for the dead in the temples of the Church of Christ, and for 2) the waters of separation ordinace in the Church of the Firstborn. Our elect son and daughter need to receive both the baptism and the waters of separation ordinances in order for them to be received into the celestial kingdom of glory, and to be exalted as couple gods in eternity. Without the sealing key of the priesthood in administering these two ordinances, the earth would be utterly wasted at the coming of our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ. This effort is our great work and glory, as stated in Moses 1:39:
"For behold, this is my work and my glory-to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man.""
I was greatly enlightened by the new revelation from my Heavenly Mother tonight. I feel clear and assured that I received this great truth from my God!
I have since thought and prayed about my revelations received on this day, and have been very impressed with the extremely strong confirmation that I received from my Heavenly Parents and the Holy Ghost. This information seemed like a missing piece that now makes all complete in my mind and heart!
82K4-82K20, from Heavenly Mother: "Heavenly Mother then spoke. I wrote her words as they came to me:
'Raphael, I will first answer your questions then deliver my message.
The sealing of families together by ordinances in the LDS temple has prepared the minds of the Latter-day Saints to think of temple work as being forever binding. Effort in searching your dead helps you know your heritage, but is not necessary for sealing families together for eternity, as is currently taught in the LDS Church.
The true doctrine is that each individual whom Jesus Christ approves. Our Beloved Son, for entrance in the Church of the Firstborn, will be able to receive their own temple ordinances in the New Jerusalem Temple and in the temple in heaven. These are final and binding ordinances for those individuals.
The temple ordinances in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are preparatory to the final ordinances to be performed on earth in the New Jerusalem temple. In D&C 128, Joseph Smith, the prophet, received a revelation on baptism for the dead. The ordinance of baptism is one which resides in The Church of Christ and is not part of the ordinances to be performed in the Church of the Firstborn. Your baptism 51 years ago, and those done with true priesthood authority for the living and the dead in the LDS Church are valid and binding. The ordinances of washing and anointing, endowments, and sealing in the LDS temples are not valid in eternity. These are preparatory, preparing the minds and hearts of the people for their final binding ordinances in the Church of the Firstborn, performed by our holy angels and by us, their Gods.
The sealing of individuals together as husband to wife and wife to husband, will be done in heaven in our holy temple, by Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ or myself. These are binding ordinances for eternity.
The sealing of children to their parents, an ordinance also now done in the LDS temples, is one which will be done by us, your Gods, and only for those who have received their ordinances in our temple up to that point, in the Church of the Firstborn. We will not honor sealings of spouses to each other, or of children to their parents in the LDS Church. These were always meant to be performed in the Church of the Firstborn, and they have always been part of the progression for our exalted children.
The practice of searching for your dead is necessary to adequately identify relationships of ancestors so that their baptisms for the dead may be performed. The bestowal of the Gift of the Holy Ghost by the laying on of the hands by the priesthood is also valid for the dead and the living. The one holding the priesthood in performing this ordinance and the baptism ordinance needs to be valid and approved of God.
However, the laying on of hands for the conferral of the priesthood in the temple is not valid for eternity for the dead. It is valid for the living. For the dead who have not received the priesthood, this will be done by the angels in the New Jerusalem temple if the man hasn't yet received the priesthood. This same procedure is applicable to the office of High Priestess for the women.
All other ordinances in the LDS Church are not valid in eternity. Only these higher ordinances that are valid and binding for eternity are done in the Church of the Firstborn.
You may ask your Heavenly Father or me more about these things if you are not fully clear on what ordinances are valid or not in the Church of Christ and the Church of the Firstborn.
Your second question, about typing up your journal entries, we will address at the time of need this week.
My message today ties in with the valid or invalid ordinances in the temples of the LDS Church. In the beginning of this dispensation, we revealed truths from heaven to our prophet, Joseph Smith. However, Satan also started introducing falsehoods from the beginning into this, our church, even during Joseph's day. Joseph did his best to try to route these out, like the practice of polygamy, but was only partially successful.
Once Joseph died, Satan had greater success in establishing falsehoods into the LDS Church. We kept directing and inspiring its leaders as much as they would accept, and Satan also inspired the leaders, as they would allow. Today in this Church, there is a mix of truths from God and falsehoods from Satan. When the Church of Christ is re-established again on the earth, we will not tolerate falsehoods to enter, but only our revelations and truths from heaven.
This new Church of Christ will also operate temples for the purpose of baptisms for the dead. The living will receive their baptism in this church for themselves. The baptism will include immersion by water and the bestowal of the Gift of the Holy Ghost, or the baptisms of water and the baptism of spirit or fire. In this church, men will also ordain men to the Melchizedek Priesthood and women will ordain women to the office of High Priestess. The Aaronic Priesthood is part of the current LDS Church and won't be perpetuated in the millennial day. It will be fulfilled when the sons of Levi offer an acceptable sacrifice to the Lord (see D&C 13, 128:24).'"
I looked on my Heavenly Mother and knew I had received great truths today from her. I felt clear in my mind of what was valid or not valid in the LDS Church and in the future two churches in the millennium.
I thanked her humbly for her clear revelations! She smiled again and then vanished from my view. I closed my prayer and started my week!
Later in the evening- My first son told me that his priesthood lesson on Sunday was on the importance of ordinances. He thought there was more meaning than was presented in the lesson. He thought there was some sort of power that came from the ordinances. He asked me for my opinion.
I said I thought that the baptism ordinance, and the reception of the gift of the Holy Ghost by the laying on of the hands by one holding the authority, was permanently a part of the Church of Christ, or the telestial/terrestrial church, now the LDS Church. I said that the full and valid ordinances in the temple, besides baptism for the dead, are part of the future Church of the Firstborn. These ordinances practiced in the LDS temples are preparatory in nature, preparing our hearts and minds for these real binding ordinances, to be realized later in the celestial Church of the Firstborn.
I said the endowment, which he had asked me about, was currently practiced as a preparatory ordinance in the LDS Church. We use Adam and Eve as our mentors, to whom we are supposed to liken ourselves. However, I told him I have come to understand that in the celestial church, the Church of the Firstborn, these mentors are our own Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother, and we are to liken ourselves to them. We will then receive the real full ordinance in a celestial temple in this celestial church, and be likening ourselves to our heavenly parents since they will be exactly whom we will become like. We will see their lives in mortality, their progression to Godhood, and then we will follow them to our own exaltation. I said the phrase in our endowments ceremonies that eludes to this is as follows, as best I remember:
"Brothers and sisters, the time will come that you will be chosen, called up and anointed, kings and priests, queens and priestesses, whereas you are now an anointed only to become such. The realization of these blessings depends upon your faithfulness."
The final blessing of anointing will be done in the celestial church, the Church of the Firstborn, in a celestial temple. This ordinance will be done by the angels of God. It will be the final and real endowment we are to receive, if we prove faithful. Jesus Christ is the keeper of the gate, and employeth no servant there, cannot be deceived. He admits those to his church the firstborn.
2 Nephi 9:41–
"O then, my beloved brethren, come unto the Lord, the Holy One. Remember that his paths are righteous. Behold, the way for man is narrow, but it lieth in a straight course before him, and the keeper of the gate is the Holy One of Israel; and he employeth no servant there; and there is none other way save it be by the gate; for he cannot be deceived, for the Lord God is his name."
I told him in my opinion, that the other ordinances in the LDS temples, like sealings, are also preparatory, and not binding in eternity. I said those done in the Church of the Firstborn, by celestial beings and in the celestial temple, will be eternally binding. The sealing ordinance of husband to wife, and wife to husband, will be performed by God, Heavenly Father, Heavenly Mother or Jesus Christ, and will be one of the final binding ordinances before becoming a God like they are Gods.
I didn't say it exactly this way, but closely like this. I felt the confirmation of the Holy Ghost (my Heavenly Mother) when I spoke, and I knew she was guiding me.
My son said he had never thought of it in this way before (this is because it has never been revealed before I believe, because this is one of the mysteries of God revealed in these these last days!) We, who know these things, are also freer to share these thoughts and revelations, as we feel inspired to do so.
Tonight in my prayer, Heavenly Mother came again to the beautiful lake, at Gods Loving Healing Center. I was again kneeling before her in front of the bench, facing the lake, and she was standing in the air before me. I asked her more about the validity of the ordinances that have been performed in the LDS temples to date. Here is what she said to me:
'Raphael, we have revealed a version of all eternal celestial temple ordinances to our prophets in the LDS Church. These versions are part of the Church of Christ, and the temple ordinances in that church. However, the ones binding for eternity in this Church of Christ are only baptisms for the dead and the conferral of the gift of the Holy Ghost. The other temple ordinances (washing, anointing, endowment, and sealing) are not eternally binding or valid, but are to prepare the hearts and minds of the Saints for their future ordinances in the Church of the Firstborn. There is purpose in this preparation in these ordinances, for they are meant to elevate the spirit of our Saints to become more Christ like and to be led by the Holy Ghost. When fully tested and approved of God, our child is approved by Jesus Christ himself, who is the keeper of the gate. Our child then becomes a candidate for the Church of the Firstborn. He or she are then received into this church by the ordinance of the waters of separation, followed by the other binding temple ordinances, performed by the holy angels and of God.
Raphael, what you shared with your son today was correct, and inspired by me. Share what I have revealed to you to others with whom you feel you are impressed to share. This is also true for all the holy angels.'
I thank my Heavenly Mother for her words today about the ordinances of the temple! I am so glad she clarified all of this! I am so blessed to be recipient of these truths."
82L1-82L7: "I have been mulling over what Heavenly Mother shared with me yesterday. I am trying to clearly delineate what I received. Maybe this will help:
1) in the telestial church, (LDS Church), or the terrestrial church (Church of Christ in the millennium), the members practice and perform the following ordinances:
• Baptism (valid and honored by God for eternity)
• Laying on of hands for the Holy Ghost (valid for eternity)
• Priesthood ordination in person to the Melchizedek Priesthood, not in temples by proxy (valid for eternity this done she was holding currently the priesthood themselves)
• High Priestess ordination in person, not in temples by proxy (to be done in the future Church of Christ, since this was rejected by the LDS church leaders–valid for eternity)
• Other Temple ordinances (washings, anointings, endowments, sealing of children to parents, and sealing of spouses together. These are not valid for eternity, with a version of each performed in the telestial/terrestrial temples to prepare the heart and minds of the members of the church for the final, binding ordinances, later to be performed in the Church of the Firstborn at some future period.)
• Second Comforter (the appearing of Jesus Christ, stating to the individual that he/she is an approved candidate for entrance into the Church of the Firstborn.)
2) In the Church of the Firstborn, the only celestial church in eternity, the following events and ordinances are performed:
• Waters of separation (entry ordinance into the Church of the Firstborn, performed by Raphael and Oriphiel, archangels of God. The new member then has his/her name recorded in the Book of Life, the celestial record of heaven. This ordinance is valid for eternity.)
• Washing, by the angels (valid for eternity)
• Anointing by the angels (valid for eternity)
• Clothing in robes of exaltation by the angels (valid for eternity)
• Ordination by the angels to the Melchizedek Priesthood for the men if not previously ordained, or to the office of High Priestesses for the women, if not previously received up to this time (valid for eternity)
• Endowment by the angels (valid for eternity)
• Sealing of exalted children to their exalted parents, performed by Heavenly Father, Heavenly Mother or Jesus Christ (valid for eternity)
• Ordination to Godhood, performed jointly my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother (valid for eternity)
This seems clear to me now, whereas before yesterday, I wasn't sure of how it was delineated.
In the millennial day, the new Church of Christ, the only terrestrial church, will operate all the temples on the earth except the New Jerusalem central temple. This temple, located in the Temple Square area, is a celestial temple. The New Jerusalem temple is the only temple that this Church of the Firstborn operates and manages. The other celestial temple, the temple in heaven, is operated directly by Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother. This temple is also their heavenly home. All of the celestial ordinances for exaltation and Godhood are performed in these two temples except perhaps the final ordinance to become a God or a Goddess in eternity. This latter ordinance to become a God or a Goddess might be performed on the celestial earth where the initial inheritance for this new exalted couple is given. The location of this final ordinance is all determined by Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother.
In the millennium, the preparatory church (the Church of Christ) will prepare its members for entrance and acceptance into the celestial church, the Church of the Firstborn. Temple ordinances will be performed in both churches. This will be a great part of the work of God during the thousand-year millennial period.
All of the ordinances of the Church of the Firstborn will be done directly for the new member, and not by proxy. The work of live and proxy ordinances will continue in the Church of Christ, similar to how they are now done in the LDS Church. For those who are deceased, their living descendants may perform proxy temple work for them. Both the living and the dead may also prepare their hearts and minds by participating in these preparatory ordinances. When these individuals, living in mortality or dead, are finally approved by Jesus Christ for entrance into the Church of the Firstborn, they come themselves as either mortals, translated or resurrected individuals. After the initial ordinance of the waters of separation, they will go through the remainder of the temple ordinances as resurrected individuals. Their robes of resurrection will be replaced with their new robes of exaltation when they are robed by the angels of God and the New Jerusalem Temple. All of God's children who will be exalted will go through the New Jerusalem Temple for their own ordinance work. There is great power and advancement for these individuals as they go through with their chosen spouse, and usually with those in their immediate family who are also becoming exalted."
After I had written all of this above this morning, I realized my time in prayer was almost gone! I then came to the entry area of the temple in heaven, through the
north doors of that temple. I knelt in the central area, facing the hallway to my front, or to the south. I asked for my Heavenly Parents to come, or one of them.
Heavenly Father then appeared before me in that temple entrance area! He was bright and shining, and smiling. He spoke to me:
'Raphael, I have been inspiring you this morning as you wrote in your journal. These words are from me, and not from you. These are true and accurate. Also, what your Heavenly Mother revealed to you yesterday is also written sufficiently accurately. All of these words you have written are in your own words, as we inspired you to write.'
I thanked so very much my Heavenly Father before me! I was kneeling before him, in his temple in heaven."
Sun, Dec 15, 2024
I have been pondering what ordinances need the administrators to possess the key of sealing, of the Melchizedek Priesthood, originally conferred upon Elijah by Jesus Christ. This is all explained above. I know that this is required for baptism for the dead ordinance in the Church of Christ, and waters of separation ordinance in the Church of the Firstborn. However, what other ordinances, if any, are there which need the sealing power to be valid for eternity?
I have read and studied all that I could, and pondered this sufficiently I believe to receive direction from God on this important topic. I now humbly wait for my God to reveal to me the answer to this question. I am on my computer waiting to write what I may receive. I don't know what God will reveal, but I believe I will receive.
Heavenly Father then came close to me, on my right side, and asked that I write his words he would give to me:
"Raphael, you are correct that the sealing power that was conferred upon Joseph Smith, the prophet, from Elijah in the Kirtland Temple (see 110:12-16) was necessary for baptisms for the dead to be acceptable before me. There is no other ordinances in the Church of Christ that requires my sealing power save the baptisms for the dead. These ordinances administered under this authority, passed down through the presidents of the church until President Thomas S. Monson, are valid for those who have passed on, who have since accepted them with all of their heart. After President Monson's death, this key of sealing was removed by me from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
In the millennial church, the Church of Christ, the key of sealing will also need to be conferred upon the president of that church, for baptisms for the dead to be acceptable to me. Our faithful son or daughter needs to first be baptized prior to being received into the Church of the Firstborn.
In the Church of the Firstborn, you are the one on whom I have conferred the key of sealing of my holy priesthood, through Elijah the prophet. This allows you to administer the ordinance of waters of separation. Once the new member receives this ordinance himself or herself, they are fully admitted into the Church of the Firstborn. Oriphiel will then record their name in the Lamb's Book of Life. They then receive a promise of eternal life and exaltation, even though there are other steps they will need to progress through on their journey to become a god.
The other ordinances administered by my holy angels in the New Jerusalem celestial temple do not require the key of sealing. Raphael, it is fully proper and acceptable to your Heavenly Mother and me to have you set apart these angels to their positions in that temple, without passing onto them the sealing power of my priesthood. Each male angel will need to have been conferred the Melchizedek Priesthood, and be ordained to the office of a High Priest. Each female angel will need to receive the office of High Priestess.
Once the New Jerusalem temple work is completed for an individual, further sealings and ordinations will occur in our own temple on our celestial orb, and on the resurrected celestial earth. These will all be administered by your Heavenly Mother, Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son, and/or myself. We have the power of God to administer all we will do to our new couple gods in eternity.
Your Heavenly Mother and I have required only the sealing power for administering the ordinance of baptism for the dead in the Church of Christ, and the ordinance of waters of separation in the Church of the Firstborn. These are valid for all eternity. The other administrations of ordinances in the millennial Church of Christ and in the Church of the Firstborn are fully acceptable before us without the sealing power being used.
Raphael, your Heavenly Mother and I are very pleased that you and Oriphiel are laboring steadily in our New Jerusalem celestial temple for our elect children. This brings us much joy to see our noble sons and daughters progressing towards their eternal reward!"
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his very clear and enlightening answer to my question this morning! I will continue to pray and confirm all that I received today.
Later today I reviewed what I had written above from Heavenly Father. I immediately felt the enlightenment from God that this was true, and then I heard these words in my mind: "Raphael, what you have written is from me and is true." I therefore received a witness from the Father that this record was true. The Spirit bears witness also that it is true! I feel joy and satisfaction in having received revelation from my God today!
See also my notes in Moses 6:51-53,59-68 dated Jan 6, 2025. This talks about the Book of Life and the requirement for the sealing keys of the priesthood.

6 And behold, how oft you have transgressed the commandments and the laws of God, and have gone on in the persuasions of men.
7 For, behold, you should not have feared man more than God. Although men set at naught the counsels of God, and despise his words
8 Yet you should have been faithful; and he would have extended his arm and supported you against all the fiery darts of the adversary; and he would have been with you in every time of trouble.
Mon, Jul 22, 2024
If we fear man more than God, it will incur the displeasure of God. He will extend to us his arm (protection), supporting us in every time of trouble.
184C6, from Heavenly Father: "Raphael, our elect need to be strong and faithful to the end. They will need to endure the buffetings for a season so that we may do our work on the wicked. We will remain with our righteous elect in every time of trouble. (see D&C 3:8)."

July 14, 2024
Recently I was very discouraged with our swimming pool that had turned green with algae. I wondered if I should right then ask my Heavenly Father for help. This was not a spiritual thing that I would normally ask about, but it was entirely for our enjoyment and pleasure.
In my feeling of being down, I humbly and sincerely asked my Father what I should do. I was surprised with the immediate answer, which I immediately wrote down. Here are my notes from that answer:
"Pool to remove algae: 5 chlorine tabs each morning. Run pool pump 24 hrs/day. Over 95 deg F pool take cover off. Keep 88-91 deg Father ideal temperature. Auto pool vacuum for 3 hrs/day, then let water circulate at a higher rate through the sand filter. Backwash sand filter daily.
When coming back from high chlorine pool: 2 tablets for 10 hours/day, or 3 tablets for 8 hours/day Auto vacuum for 2 hours day and swim daily to stir up the water. Backwash sand filter daily. Check chemical level with kit"
These were extremely specific items to do! I followed this counsel exactly, and in five days, the pool water became very clear again, and pristine blue! I feel so amazed and grateful for my detailed instructions from my Heavenly Father!
I realize now that I can, and should, ask for whatever I desire or need. My Gods are by my side, ready to help me all day long--but I have to first ask!
In the sacrament today, Heavenly Mother said that I may ask her anything, on any topic. My mind then was jogged back to the experience that I've written above, and felt to write this experience down.
September 1, 2024: It has been a month and a half since I was able to clear up my swimming pool, making it pristine blue or clear again. I have been diligently measuring the chlorine level of the pool with my chemical test kit since that time, and have marveled how it has kept being very clear, with hardly any additional chlorine added. Some weeks I have added a few chlorine tablets, just because I thought it needed it, and was afraid the algae would return. Some weeks I have not added any chlorine. The testing bottle still measured a deep yellow color, indicating that there is more than enough chlorine. . . Yet there doesn't seem to be any chlorine smell. I wonder if something else is going on. Normally, the chlorine tablet would dissipate quickly, and I would need to add multiple tablets per week. It has been more than enough time for it to all dissipate from a month and a half ago.
I know also that Heavenly Father has promised me that my property would be changed to terrestrial land and terrestrial water. I have recently been thinking that this would also include our swimming pool water. I have prayed about my pool water this morning, and felt strongly that it is all terrestrial living water now. I am wondering if this means that it doesn't need any more chlorine either to keep itself algae-clear.
When meditating about this, Heavenly Father asked that I write his words that would come into my mind. Here is what he says:
"Raphael, you have asked me a month and a half ago how to clear your pool of algae. I gave you specific instructions which you followed, and it became clear again. What you didn't realize was after the time of clearing that your pool water all became terrestrial living water. There was no longer a need for chlorine tablets to keep your water clear.
I have given you a promise on April 16th, 2024, over 4 1/2 months ago, that all your land and water on your property would all become terrestrial. See your notes in Genesis 49:26:
'This promise from the Father will also change the telestial water to terrestrial living water, both for the well water coming up from our underground aquifer (our drinking water), and from the irrigation water coming down the pipes in the summer to water our land. This change will be for every portion of our ___ acres, including our house and its contents, our lawn, garden, orchard, berries, flower beds and pasture. The food we grow here will be terrestrial living food. The food and remedies we buy and bring here will also transition quickly, within hours, from telestial to terrestrial food and remedies.'
This promise above included the water in your swimming pool. As part of the cleansing, I removed the algae permanently a month and a half ago, in answer to your question about how to clear up your swimming pool, and make it clear again. You followed my directions, and the water became clear, and has remained clear since then.
Raphael, since that time a month and a half ago, you did not need any more chlorine tablets to keep your pool clear. You will not need any in the future either, for this water is living terrestrial water. This water has fully changed to a higher realm substance, not found on the telestial earth.
In order to keep the water clear, all you need to do is to vacuum the pool on a regular basis to keep the debris that settles out on the bottom of your pool clear."
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his remarkable words this morning! I am so grateful for this great blessing to my family and me!'
September 15, 2024: Yesterday my wife and I swam in our pool for what I believed was the last time this summer. It is getting chilly, and the temperature is dropping.
When we opened the solar cover on the pool, we saw that the pool was turning green again! I had felt about five days ago to add more chlorine, and then felt I shouldn't add more on subsequent days. I was confused. I obviously now think that I should have added more chlorine to the pool, in order to avoid the growth of algae!
I am also confused about why my Heavenly Father would say on September 1st, two weeks ago, that I didn't need any more chlorine when I obviously did need to add chlorine to keep my pool clear. Did I not hear the voice of my Heavenly Father correctly at that time? This is somewhat perplexing to me.
I humbly sought my Heavenly Father today, and desired to know what happened. Heavenly Father then asked me to write his words again:
"Raphael, five days ago you had asked me whether to add chlorine and I told you, in your mind, to add a chlorine tablet. However, since that time you had wondered each day whether or not to add more. You felt not to, but did not specifically ask of me. You felt that the feeling in your mind and heart was an answer from me, whereas it was your own reasoning. Were you to have asked of me, I would have told you to add more chlorine tablets to avert the current algae growth in your pool. You needed to specifically ask, in your mind, in a prayerful state, and I will answer. Do not rely on your own reasoning and feeling in your mind and heart. Instead ask humbly of me specifically for what you desire, and I will answer specifically.
Your pool water was all terrestrial water on September 1st when you last received my revelation (see above). However, since then you added water over 2 hours from your well to bring the pool level higher. This water from your aquifer was not fully transitioned yet to becoming terrestrial living water, and brought in with it telestial water into your pool. It was in this mixed condition, of terrestrial and telestial water, that the algae got a foothold and started to grow in your pool. Had you asked of me specifically to add more chlorine just after your added this telestial water, I would have confirmed to you to add the chlorine. This would have killed the algae brought in with the telestial water and kept your pool water clear. In a short time of several weeks, your pool water would have all transitioned to terrestrial living water, and not had the algae growth after its full transition.
Now that your entire pool is starting to become green with algae, begin again the procedure of clearing the algae that I instructed you with on July 14, 2024 (see above). This will clear the algae from your pool again. It will also winterize your pool until next spring when you open up your pool again. At that time, ask of me what to do specifically, and I will answer specifically.
Do not be discouraged with your current problem of wondering whether you have received my word, in writing your many revelations on so many topics, in your Book of Raphael . There are still some minor mistakes in some of what you have written that will be corrected by you in the future. These are the mistakes of you, not of me.
It is a delicate process to receive my revelations, and requires humility, prayer, specifically asking of me, and waiting with an open heart to receive whatever I may say to your mind. After writing down my words, if you feel to add anything to correct grammar or content to these revelations, do so humbly, seeking my presence, and then I will let you know what is acceptable.
Your record of Raphael volume 1, and your record of Raphael volume 2, still has minor errors. However, it is my will that you continue in preparing these for publication on a website. Your Heavenly Mother and I will inspire my elect to search for the words 'Book of Raphael ' to find your revelations. We will require of them to confirm your words with us by my Spirit and by the Holy Ghost. This is how we have chosen to have our children determine the truth of all things: they each need to inquire of us, and not rely on another person. We will then be able to build on a relationship with them and a pattern for them to individually receive and confirm our revelations.
Our words given by Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son, are for all mankind:
D&C 4:7 'Ask, and ye shall receive; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. Amen.'"
I pondered what I just received. I had not remembered that I had put more well water into the pool, for that only came into my mind when I was receiving this revelation from Heavenly Father. I also didn't know that the aquifer water under my property wasn't yet all transitioned to terrestrial water. I thanked my Heavenly Father for this new understanding. I also felt assured and at peace after receiving this direction. I know that Heavenly Father sees and understands more than I could, for his perspective is perfect and mine is flawed! I truly feel so blessed today.

Doctrine & Covenants 6:16
16 Yea, I tell thee, that thou mayest know that there is none else save God that knowest thy thoughts and the intents of thy heart.
86A9-86A11, from Heavenly Mother: "Raphael, we gave you our words and impressions in your mind, your unconscious mind. You then had to transfer these thoughts and meanings into your conscious mind, and then write all of these in your own words in your journal. There are many steps of the process in receiving our revelations. Some days you, too, might feel clearer than others in hearing us.
This is why our explanations seem long and perhaps drawn out to you. In the end, the content of your journal entry covers what we wanted you to convey. We approve your words, written in your mortal weakness! As you keep humble and open, you will be able to receive all we want you to write. These words are therefore not directly from our mouths, but contain the words and thoughts we gave you and then were written by you, to your understanding and ability to communicate.
You were also thinking this past weekend and today how remarkable it was that once you set some system up, it can continue without your supervision. You thought of your temperature regulation on your greenhouse, and then of pumping algae water on your plants in the greenhouse from your fishpond. This is now all set up and works well, even if you are not there during the day. You noticed how you are able to fix things around your house and yard because of your experience and insights.
Raphael, we will use these skills that you have in a near day at the formation of the New Jerusalem. We will assist you and other planners as you all use faith, ingenuity, and the systems you may be able to establish, along with our help and inspiration. However, the greatest of all your activities will be in working with our elect children! You will act in our stead in administering our love and acceptance for all who come to this beautiful city, even to the New Jerusalem. We will share our love and light through you to these, our beloved faithful children! We wish all to feel great love and peace in our celestial city on the earth!'
I thanked my Heavenly Mother for talking with me. I so love the way she knows just what to say to address my current thoughts and wonderings, even when I haven't voiced them to anyone. I know God may understand and read our thoughts. I believe no one else has the power to do so except our loving Heavenly Parents.
D&C 6:16-
"Yea, I tell thee, that thou mayest know that there is none else save God that knowest thy thoughts and the intents of thy heart."
I stand therefore very openly before God, for my Heavenly Parents can perceive all of my thoughts and the intents of my heart. They may address these as my Heavenly Mother did for me tonight. This is such a wonderful blessing to me! I am motivated to be clean and pure before them always. I want to always be receptive to everything they may say to me. I then closed my prayer and got ready for bed."
89D2-89D8, from Heavenly Father: "I then realized that my Heavenly Father was next to my side at the lookout. He spoke to me:
'Raphael, while you were waiting for me to come, you saw a time in the past when I was a young married man. My wife and I were desperate over the condition of our daughter who needed to be held all the time. I was pleading to my God in prayer, in the private setting of some nearby trees. It was a trying time in our lives!
I gave you this glimpse into my own past to show you that at times we all struggle with big problems. You were able to see my expression on my face and to feel the desperation in my heart. You saw and felt these things because I gave this to you. You also became aware that you could zoom into some scene far away and see up close all of these things, even from your vantage point while physically far away.
You next looked at the doorknob of our temple from your location. You saw you could zoom your mind close to whatever you wished to see with your celestial eyesight.
Raphael, I have shown you these things to come to the awareness of the powers we use all of the time! We may see past, present and future. We see everything we wish, even up close or far away. There is no view we cannot see in our vast creations, at any time! We may also see details of atomic structures of our creations, or distant stars or galaxies that fill this vast universe!'
Heavenly Father then placed his left hand on my right shoulder.
He said to me:
'Raphael, look at the grassy hill where you saw me in vision when I was praying.'
I looked and saw the grass. I then could see an individual blade of grass and then into its molecular structure. I saw how this blade of grass was alive with chlorophyll moving, like I had once seen under the microscope. I saw there was light all throughout the structure of this grass which gave it life and vitality. I could then see the past of this grass, how it had been spiritually created and lived later on a telestial earth. I saw that it had been resurrected and placed on this hill along with millions more blades of grass-all by the power of God. I saw it had basic intelligence and that it was very happy in its current state. It knew its past and that God had created it. It also seemed to know I was looking at it at this enlarged view of its structure inside.
Heavenly Father then spoke again:
'Raphael, I have shown you one of our powers to zoom up, even to see a magnified view of one of our creations. You were able to also see the past history of this single blade of grass! You could comprehend even its intelligence and its perceptions. This is what we may see and view at any time with our creations! We may also know thoughts and intents of the hearts of our own children.
D&C 6:16
"Yea, I tell thee, that thou mayest know that there is none else save God that knowest thy thoughts and intents of thy heart."
We see and perceive all of these details for our children, for we know them so very well and have created them, even in our own likeness and image. We may clearly see and perceive their thoughts. We see all that their conscious and unconscious mind thinks and what motivates them. We clearly see their weaknesses and how they deal with them.
We see how these, our children, respond when we prompt them with our gentle spiritual guidance. We see how these promptings are perceived and acted upon, if at all. We remember all of the past thoughts and intentions of our children in mortality. We see how dedicated they are in becoming like unto us, their Heavenly Parents. We see when Satan comes and tempts them and how they succumb or withstand. We yearn after our children, for we see the choices and intents of all of them!
We do this for all of our children who come to earth, all at the same time. There is nothing they may do or think that we couldn't see or perceive. Our views are always clear.
Raphael, we see you and your many weaknesses. We see the intentions of your heart and those issues we wish to strengthen in you. We may therefore plan a way to gradually direct you, all dependent upon your choice to follow us.'
I thanked my Heavenly Father for sharing his views of his creations and his power and abilities to see into all of his creations! I was quite impressed with the powers of God! He and Heavenly Mother and Jesus Christ see all and cannot be deceived!
I then felt I was fully in my chair writing all of this down. I could then somehow perceive in my mind my Heavenly Father watching lovingly me do and think everything I was doing. I perceived his warm and accepting smile. I knew I could never hide anything from God, for they saw all. I didn't feel judged either, for I felt very accepted and loved. I thanked my God again and then closed my prayer."
168J3-168J17, from Heavenly Mother: "You have remarked to your loving wife that you have taken what people say as what they mean. However, she has said that verbal communication is only a smaller part of what they convey to you of their true intentions, desires and feelings. Their verbal communication may be misleading of how they really feel. I have brought you here to my higher celestial realm to show you today the intentions of my children, even that we view from our perspective, who are their Gods. So often, what they say to you is not how they really feel. In our realm, we may perceive the true meaning of their mind and heart, regardless of their words.
A better assessment of their intentions are their actions. Since we may see what they do, and what they will do, we can determine their true desires. I will show you what I mean by showing you your past and some of your future actions later today.
Heavenly Mother reached her left hand to me and I stood and took it. We then moved to an early time in my life in my past, when I was living in the Seattle area with my parents and siblings. I saw the small upstairs room with knotty pine walls and my bed. I looked out the window at the large cedar tree in the backyard.
'Raphael, look upon yourself sitting on your bed.' I was holding my Heavenly Mother's hand in the air to the side of the bed. I saw my young self turn on my radio and listen to a radio preacher, Lou Gehrig, who was reading from the New Testament of the life of Christ. I saw that I had a blue covered bible and was following along with what he was saying.
Heavenly Mother turned to me and spoke:
'Raphael, even at an early age you were seeking to understand spiritual things and yearned to be close to us, your Heavenly Parents. You knew so little about religion, for your parents took you occasionally to a local Christian church, but you felt to seek out on your own the meaning of what you heard. Here we see you as a young boy seeking to understand all about Jesus, and to worship God. This action we beheld was a clear indication to us of your true intent and desire.
We who are your Gods also know the thoughts and intents of the hearts of our children. I could perceive these from you as this young boy, so unfamiliar with life, but you cannot know his heart except by his actions. If I were to allow you to perceive the intentions and desires of your young boy heart, you could see, but normally you need to just observe behavior and actions to determine the intentions and desires of our children.'
Heavenly Mother then touched the forehead of my celestial replicated self, watching myself as a young boy. I then felt the very emotions of me as a young boy before us! I could feel all of the wonderings, questions, and yearnings to know all about God that I had at that time! I knew why I was so motivated to stay inside and tune into the daily radio broadcast of the radio preacher. I saw I listened to his broadcast with rapt attention. I felt filled with desire to know God and to obey.
In all of this observation, I didn't hear any spoken words from my younger mortal self. All of my perceptions were from observations of what I saw him doing, and the flood of emotions that Heavenly Mother allowed me to feel by her power.
'Raphael, when you observe others in your life now, know that whatever they may do is more of an indication of their true motives and intentions than what they say. We, their Heavenly Parents, also connect into their emotions that we may feel, and then are sure of the intents and feelings of their hearts. We therefore know the motives and true feelings of all of our children. We can also go back into their past and see their future, and observe their actions and tune into their feelings, for these are transparent to us, and we know their motives.
D&C 6:16
"Yea, I tell thee, that thou mayest know that there is none else save God that knowest thy thoughts and the intents of thy heart." (see also Hebrews 4:12)
Heavenly Mother reached out again to my hand and we left the room of my childhood. We came back to the celestial orb where we started.
I asked her a question: 'My Mother, may I have the gift of experiencing the feelings of others occasionally when I need or desire to know their true intentions?'
She responded: 'Raphael, we guard the individual emotions of our children, and don't share them with others except on rare occasions. If there is such a need, we will allow you to perceive again, even as you felt the emotions of yourself when a young boy. However, you will need to mostly observe the actions of those around you to access their intentions. What they say may or may not be truthful, particularly in your day of great wickedness when so many people lie and seek to tR others by their words. However, their past actions are almost always more reliable and a more sure guide to the type of person they really are.
Raphael, come here anytime today to talk and commune with me. I know your true heart and intentions and love and accept you fully, my son!'
I thanked her for the experience and lesson I gained this morning! I then consciously exited her in my mind and started my new day on earth."

Doctrine & Covenants 6:20-24
20 Behold, thou art Oliver, and I have spoken unto thee because of thy desires; therefore treasure up these words in thy heart. Be faithful and diligent in keeping the commandments of God, and I will encircle thee in the arms of my love.
21 Behold, I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I am the same that came unto mine own, and mine own received me not. I am the light which shineth in darkness, and the darkness comprehendeth it not.
22 Verily, verily, I say unto you, if you desire a further witness, cast your mind upon the night that you cried unto me in your heart, that you might know concerning the truth of these things.
23 Did I not speak peace to your mind concerning the matter? What greater witness can you have than from God?
24 And now, behold, you have received a witness; for if I have told you things which no man knoweth have you not received a witness?
157F4-157F9, from Heavenly Mother: "'Raphael, my son, all of our prophets who have ever received great revelations from us had to question if they saw and heard us correctly. Self-doubts are what mortal beings have to insure themselves that they are correct in what they claim they saw and heard from us.
When Nephi, the son of Nephi, predicted that the chief judge in the land had been murdered by his brother (see Helaman 8:29), he was filled with my Spirit. He had been arraigned before the corrupt leaders of the people, and chastised them and taught them according to my revelations that flowed into him. Nephi was a pure conduit, as was Samuel the Lamanite, and declared whatever came into his heart and mind, which was directly from me. Nephi's only desire was to speak my words, and not to worry about his own safety, or whether his words were said exactly right. When enveloped by the Spirit of God, our mortal children may speak and declare great things without regard to what seems reasonable, outlandish, or risky for them to declare. There is no self-doubt in these cases, for the Spirit of God, even my Holy Ghost, overshadowed them and they were filled with my light and clairvoyance.
On the other hand, when you receive revelation in your quiet meditations, you write our words in the clarity of your mind. Before you share these words, you may wonder if you wrote our revelations correctly, or heard us right. This is natural. However, remember those moments that we, your Gods, filled you with clarity, peace and a new perspective, or new ideas that were not your own. This will give you greater confidence and faith that your record is true, and given to you from us your Gods.
What you experienced last night in the domed room actually happened, even as you wrote this at the time. Does not your record speak peace and truth to your heart and mind, even now?
This is the same Spirit by which Oliver Cowdery was able to verify the truth:
D&C 6:20-24-
"Behold, thou art Oliver, and I have spoken unto thee because of thy desires; therefore treasure up these words in thy heart. Be faithful and diligent in keeping the commandments of God, and I will encircle thee in the arms of my love.
Behold, I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I am the same that came unto mine own, and mine own received me not. I am the light which shineth in darkness, and the darkness comprehendeth it not.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, if you desire a further witness, cast your mind upon the night that you cried unto me in your heart, that you might know concerning the truth of these things.
Did I not speak peace to your mind concerning the matter? What greater witness can you have than from God?
And now, behold, you have received a witness; for if I have told you things which no man knoweth have you not received a witness?" '
I thanked my glorious Heavenly Mother for coming and being loving, patient and straightforward with me! I told her how much I loved her, and loved her counsels.
She then departed quickly. I mused over my vision, and then closed my prayer in the name of Jesus."
______________________________
Doctrine & Covenants 6:22-23
22 Verily, verily, I say unto you, if you desire a further witness, cast your mind upon the night that you cried unto me in your heart, that you might know concerning the truth of these things.
23 Did I not speak peace to your mind concerning the matter? What greater witness can you have than from God?
102B3-102B7, from Heavenly Mother: "'Raphael, my son, we are no respecter of persons. We will come to every one of our children who may come to us in prayer as you do. We will speak to them as they open up their minds and hearts to us and humbly and diligently seek us. Our children so often reject our thoughts and promptings to them, for they think they made this all up by themselves. They need to accept these thoughts, for we will always come and not let this precious moment flee away without speaking our love and peace to them. We have done this to you and will also gradually lead them along by our personal revelations to their hearts and minds.
This entire process of speaking our thoughts to our children's thoughts was set up by our first parent Gods. They were so wise and knew that our children in mortality would really need to diligently seek us in order to hear us, believing it was us and not their own selves who were speaking. This then is a perfect test of the faith, openness and diligence of our children and is all initiated by their own choice and not that of another's.
Our methods then are to witness peace and acceptance, love and light to our receptive child who has quieted down and sought us diligently. This is well described in the experience of Oliver Cowdery when Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son, spoke to him:
D&C 6:22-23
"Verily, verily, I say unto you, if you desire a further witness, cast your mind upon the night that you cried unto me in your heart, that you might know concerning the truth of these things.
Did I not speak peace to your mind concerning the matter? What greater witness can you have than from God?"
We purposely give to our faithful line upon line. They must separate themselves from the expectations of their society, like "God won't speak to me!", or "who am I that God would ever speak to me?". We like it when they wean themselves from religious and societal norms and expectations:
Isaiah 28:9-10 (comments in parentheses by Heavenly Mother)
"Whom shall he teach knowledge? And whom shall he make to understand doctrine? Them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. (This means that they don't rely on others' views, or a supposed way of how things are done; or the doctrines of others, but are determined to find out for themselves, being very open and receptive to us, their Gods)
For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:"(Isaiah repeats these phrases in this verse, emphasizing how slow and gentle our guidance and revelations are to those who receive. We want them to absorb one teaching or doctrine before giving them more. We especially don't want to reveal too much, for we don't want them to be overwhelmed.)"
Raphael, we have asked you to write all of your communications with us from the beginning, starting nearly six years ago. As others read your accounts, it will be helpful for them to read from the beginning, how you grew and perceived more and more, as we gradually revealed our revelations to you. As they read and ponder your writings, we wish them to also pray and ponder over your words. We will confirm all our truths to them, like we confirmed these originally to you. We ultimately desire a close communion with each of our beloved sons and daughters who are in their mortal probation. Your words and revelations will lead them along, as will other scriptural accounts we give them.'
I thanked my loving and glorious Heavenly Mother next to me! She squeezed my hand again and kissed me on my cheek. Then she suddenly left. I then began writing all of her words down in my heavenly journal. I next came to my surroundings in my home on earth where I had been writing all of this down in my earthly personal journal. I feel full of peace and clarity and enlightenment. This is a witness to me that I have really communed again with my Heavenly Mother and that this was a very real experience, not made up by me. I closed my prayer and started a new day."

Doctrine & Covenants 6:32
32 Verily, verily, I say unto you, as I said unto my disciples, where two or three are gathered together in my name, as touching one thing, behold, there will I be in the midst of them, even so am I in the midst of you.
143C11-143C24, from Heavenly Father: "'Raphael, I have brought you into our temple, into one of our chapels here tonight. The chapels on earth and in heaven are where our children meet for instruction, to receive the sacrament and make covenants, and to receive personal revelation from us, their Gods. We often send our Holy Spirit and Holy Ghost to dwell in the hearts of our humble and open children who come to worship us in our chapels.
You attend sacrament meeting each Sunday in an LDS chapel. Were the leaders and those who speak to be moved upon by our Spirit, you would be enlightened and receive personal revelation, for you are humble and open. However, they are now usually not inspired, you do not feel our Spirit in these meetings.
We will have the future Church of Christ build chapels where our saints will meet weekly, or as often as they need. The Nephites, who had established a Zion society, used their chapels and meeting places in this manner:
Moroni 6:9-"And their meetings were conducted by the church after the manner of the workings of the Spirit, and by the power of the Holy Ghost; for as the power of the Holy Ghost led them whether to preach, or to exhort, or to pray, or to supplicate, or to sing, even so it was done."
D&C 20:45-"The elders are to conduct the meetings as they are led by the Holy Ghost, according to the commandments and revelations of God."
We are pleased when our saints feel inspired by us their Gods on what to instruct, preach and expound to their congregations in the Church of Christ. As they respond to our promptings, and are humble and open, we will inspire them to share our words with the people. We will witness of all truth to those who in like manner receive their words by our Spirit. They then may all be edified and instructed by us, even though we may usually not be seen as present in the meetings.
"Remember that that which cometh from above is sacred, and must be spoken with care, and by constraint of the Spirit; and in this there is no condemnation, and ye receive the Spirit through prayer; wherefore, without this there remaineth condemnation." (D&C 63:64)
Also: "And they shall observe the covenants and church articles to do them, and these shall be their teachings, as they shall be directed by the Spirit.
And the Spirit shall be given unto you by the prayer of faith; and if ye receive not the Spirit ye shall not teach." (D&C 42:13-14).
If one is assigned to speak, and they are not moved upon by the Spirit, it would be far better for them not to speak, but defer to another who has the Spirit and is led to speak by our Spirit. We are not pleased when those who speak are not led by our Spirit, or who lean upon their own views and understandings. We would that all who come to the meetings in their chapels or other places, to come in humility and a worshipful attitude.
D&C 6:32-"Verily, verily, I say unto you, as I said unto my disciples, where two or three are gathered together in my name, as touching one thing, behold, there will I be in the midst of them even so am I in the midst of you."
Raphael, we want to strengthen and buoy up our humble and open believers with our word. We want them to be gathered and fed by inspired men and women, all according to the gifts and blessings of our Holy Ghost and Holy Spirit. We wish that each time they meet they learn and grow in the Spirit.
We inspired Alma who addressed the people in the city of Gideon:
Alma 7:22-24- "And now my beloved brethren, I have said these things unto you that I might awaken you to a sense of your duty to God, that ye may walk blameless before him, that ye may walk after the holy order of God, after which ye have been received.
And now I would that ye should be humble, and be submissive and gentle; easy to be entreated; full of patience and long-suffering; being temperate in all things; being diligent in keeping the commandments of God at all times; asking for whatsoever things ye stand in need, both spiritual and temporal; always returning thanks unto God for whatsoever things ye do receive.
And see that ye have faith, hope, and charity, and then ye will always abound in good works."
Such is also our counsel to our faithful today. We wish to shower upon them our Spirit, but so many will not hear us, or shut themselves to our Spirit, for they do not approach us after the holy order of God, after the true order of prayer like your Heavenly Mother recently explained to you. If they are open, submissive and humble, and pray to us in faith that we send our Spirit and instruct them, we will come!'
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his beautiful message tonight in his chapel. I expressed my deep gratitude to him for his instruction. I said I would always humbly seek his Holy Spirit, and the Holy Ghost of Heavenly Mother. I said I loved both of them and would follow the promptings of their Spirit."

33 Fear not to do good, my sons, for whatsoever ye sow, that shall ye also reap; therefore, if ye sow good ye shall also reap good for your reward.
34 Therefore, fear not, little flock; do good; let earth and hell combine against you, for if ye are built upon my rock, they cannot prevail.
35 Behold, I do not condemn you; go your ways and sin no more; perform with soberness the work which I have commanded you.
36 Look unto me in every thought; doubt not, fear not.
37 Behold the wounds which pierced my side, and also the prints of the nails in my hands and feet; be faithful, keep my commandments, and ye shall inherit the kingdom of heaven. Amen.
170G9-170G13, from Heavenly Father: "In the troubled days ahead, fear not to do good, for your Heavenly Mother and I will be with you and will protect and guide you, even by our power, Hear the words of our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ:
D&C 6:33-37
"Fear not to do good, my sons, for whatsoever ye sow, that shall ye also reap; therefore, if ye sow good ye shall also reap good for your reward.

Behold the wounds which pierced my side, and also the prints of the nails in my hands and feet; be faithful, keep my commandments, and ye shall inherit the kingdom of heaven. Amen."
I felt great comfort in his words and in these verses of scripture. I thanked them for both allowing me to come into their glorious presence!
Heavenly Mother spoke: 'Raphael, we offer our faithful elect the same assurances that we have given you. All that we extend and promise to you may also be extended to them. We will be very close to those who draw near to us, and will abide with them through all their afflictions and needs. We will be very gracious in giving our abundant blessings to our faithful!'
I thanked both of my Heavenly Parents for their great blessings they will extend to all of the faithful elect and to me, in these tough times ahead."
204E12, from Heavenly Mother: "Fear not to do good, my sons (and daughters), for whatsoever ye sow, that shall ye also reap; therefore, if ye sow good ye shall also reap good for your reward.
Therefore, fear not, little flock; do good; let earth and hell combine against you, for if ye are built upon my rock, they cannot prevail.
Behold, I do not condemn you; go your ways and sin no more; perform with soberness the work which I have commanded you.
Look to me in every thought; doubt not, fear not.
Behold the wounds which pierced my side, and also the prints of the nails in my hands and feet (or, for Heavenly Father and me, behold our glorious faces, our eternity eyes, our shining robes, and all of our surrounding vistas around us when you come to us in prayer and meditation); be faithful, keep (our) commandments, and ye shall inherit the kingdom of heaven, (even in the glorious New Jerusalem in physical reality). Amen. (words in parenthesis from Heavenly Mother)."

You may quickly confirm these by holding your palms up and feeling the presence of light if it is true, or the withdrawal of light if it is not from us. You may also just think on these things and feel it in your own mind. This same gift I will extend to all of our elect that we have chosen. This extra awareness, given by my Spirit, will lead them individually in these treacherous days ahead.
D&C 6:34
"Therefore, fear not, little flock, do good; let earth and hell combine against you, for if ye are built upon my rock, they cannot prevail."
I will reveal these impressions to my elect by my Spirit, for by my Spirit will all things be revealed to them.
1 Corinthians 2:10-11, 14
"But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
. . . But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned."
The wicked in your world cannot know our new direction we will give to our elect, for they have no part in our Spirit. They have rejected all entreaties from us in their lives up to this point, and consider them foolish when someone else speaks of the Spirit. Their plans and agendas ultimately come to naught, for they know not of our plans for a more glorious terrestrial earth."

We have full awareness of the details of everything that will happen in the future. You and our terrestrial elect will be protected from the intense storms that will soon descend upon the world.
Our recommendation is to stay close to us, and to keep our promptings and follow our guidance. We will ask and inspire many of our elect to do different actions in the coming days. As they keep our sayings and commandments, they will be led in safety and to protected areas for them and their families. We will give them revelation in their own time.
Enjoy the power of God as we manifest our strength in bringing about our last day work. When we inspire you, act immediately without hesitation. We will inspire you to act by our still, steady and clear voice. Trust in our Spirit that will lead you.

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for coming and buoying me up tonight! I so love her, and will seek my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother daily in private, personal prayer. I said I would always keep her commandments."

Doctrine & Covenants 6:36
36 Look unto me in every thought; doubt not, fear not.
134F13-134F25: "Heavenly Mother spoke: 'Raphael, we are glad you obeyed our prompting and did not ask questions about how you could fulfill our will. Instead you were resourceful and just tried to obey, according to your best ability, and then it happened just as you intended. We like this initiative in following our directions and our commandments! This is the level of obedience we desire in our faithful children who hear our promptings, and are not sure how exactly to fulfill them.
1 Nephi 3:7-"And it came to pass that I Nephi, said unto my father: I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded, for I know that the Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men, save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them."
Nephi showed extraordinary faith in retrieving the records from Laban, even after his brothers were so discouraged and even beat him with a rod. The spirit of God led him how to proceed in each part of his journey.
1 Nephi 4:6-"And I was led by the Spirit, not knowing beforehand the things which I should do."
This faith and obedience allowed us, Nephi's Gods, to direct him in a journey where he ultimately obtained the brass plates and the servant of Laban, and returned with his brothers to the tent of their father in the wilderness.
In these last days, there will be many occasions for our elect to hear our voice of the Spirit, and not know how they will fulfill our commands. We want them to fully trust in our still small voice of the spirit, and like Nephi of old, be led to fully accomplish all the directions and commands we give them. We will lead our faithful and open servants in a step-by-step manner to be able to fulfill our will.
In these cases, it is so important to be open in your mind, and to be perceptive to any intimations that we might give in your thoughts. We will guide you by this our voice, in your unconscious mind, quietly yet assuredly. We will always give directions, in a progressive step-by-step manner, on the way we wish you, our servant, to fulfill our commandment.
Doubt not, and fear not, for we will lead you and the faithful along, and will never abandon you.
When the wicked priest of Elkenah rose up to slay Abram, we rescued him at the last moment and slew the priest and broke down the altar (see Abraham 1:15). The people also sought to take away Noah's life, but we were with him and protected him (see Moses 8:18). We will also protect you Raphael, and have preserved you even until now. Remember when you fell headlong down a loose rocky steep slope in the mountains, during a hike of a Fathers and Sons campout? You were fully protected by being turned over in the air and landing in a sitting position on the rocks. We protected you in that instance against severe injury. We have a mission for you to accomplish, and will be with you in every time of trouble.
When danger comes around you, or our commandments seem impossible to fulfill, then listen to our still small voice and we will guide you along, so you will be able to fulfill our will. Be believing!
D&C 6:36 "Look unto me in every thought; doubt not, fear not."
What I speak to you, I also speak to our other faithful in these last days. You will all face times of decision whether to act in faith in keeping all of our commandments. These last days will provide many opportunities for us, your Gods, to watch how you consider and then fulfill our promptings.'
I thanked my loving Heavenly Parents to be before me, and for the words of encouragement from my Heavenly Mother. I told her I would seek to always be diligent in following their still small voice."
167C24-167C26: "Heavenly Father then stopped and I stopped. He turned and faced me and spoke: 'Raphael, there may be many extenuating circumstances that you or our elect face that will be difficult for you or them, or even impossible without our constant support. We desire you to freely call upon us for what items or things you may lack, and we will provide. Doubt not, but be believing, and all things will work for your good as you apply yourself and ask of us to help you. This is true for any of our elect as well. During these difficult days ahead, we will greatly answer the humble petitions of our faithful!'
Heavenly Father then disappeared. I was missing his presence, so I thanked him for these truths he shared with me on this vision, in my mind. He replied in my mind: 'Raphael, I will always be with you and our faithful, even though they may not see me.
D&C 6:36-
"Look unto me in every thought; doubt not, fear not."'"

6 Yea, he has undertaken a greater work; therefore I will make him as flaming fire and a ministering angel; he shall minister for those who shall be heirs of salvation who dwell on the earth.
Sun, Sep 24, 2023
John the Beloved has a mission to minister to the faithful, the elect, who are chosen of the Father to enter into the millennial terrestrial world. These are "heirs of salvation". He is to lead them there, to do a great work of gathering, and to reign as a king of the house of David in the New Jerusalem.
203K17, from Heavenly Mother: "John will teach the teachers and also teach in their classes, in fulfillment of D&C 7:6:
"Yea, he has undertaken a greater work; therefore I will make him as flaming fire and a ministering angel; he shall minister for those who shall be heirs of salvation who dwell on the earth. (Raphael, these whom he ministers to are the first ones called as the 144,000 from the tribes of Israel at the New Jerusalem. These will hear John's voice, and to them he will appear as filled with the Spirit in a high degree, even as a flaming fire.)" (Words in parenthesis from Heavenly Mother)."

Doctrine & Covenants 7:7
7 And I will make thee to minister for him and for thy brother James; and unto you three I will give this power and the keys of this ministry until I come.
Sun, Mar 24, 2024
The keys of the ministry include the keys of the kingdom of God (held by Peter, James and John the Beloved), which were conferred upon Joseph Smith. These same keys were conferred upon Raphael later in the Dispensation of the Fulness of Times by Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father.
I believe the identity of John's parents was purposefully hidden in the wisdom of God until these last days, when all things were to be revealed. John's future role as a gatherer of Israel, as a destroyer of the wicked, and as a king in the New Jerusalem were only to be revealed as part of the revealing of all truths in the latter days. See also D&C 113:3-6 which talks about the latter day servant John and his role.
In verse 7, Jesus named James as the brother of Peter. I believe this was meant as Peter's brother in the gospel, and not his literal brother from the same parents.
52X8-52X13:
"Q- The man who was John, the son of Zebedee, brother of James, who was a fisherman-was he then not the same as John the Beloved?
A- These are different men. John the son of Zebedee was called and ordained as an apostle, whereas John the Beloved was not called with the original twelve apostles.
Q- Did John the Beloved write the Book of Revelation?
A- Yes
Q- Did John the Beloved become translated?
A- Yes. He is the one spoken of in D&C section 7, and will tarry in his translated state until the glorious return of Jesus Christ to the earth. He is as a flaming fire and a ministering angel, as spoken of in D&C 7:6-"Yea, he has undertaken a greater work; therefore I will make him as flaming fire and a ministering angel; he shall minister for those who shall be heirs of salvation who dwell on the earth."
Q- Do Peter, James and this John the Beloved, have the keys of the ministry as spoken of in D&C 7:7-"And I will make thee to minister for him and for thy brother James; and unto you three I will give this power and the keys of this ministry until I come."?
A- Yes. This John who jointly holds the keys of this ministry is John the Beloved, not John the son of Zebedee. These three apostles returned and conferred the Melchizedek Priesthood on Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery. See D&C 27:12-"And also with Peter, and James, and John, whom I have sent unto you, by whom I have ordained you and confirmed you to be apostles, and especial witnesses of my name, and bear the keys of your ministry and of the same things which I revealed unto them; Unto whom I have committed the keys of my kingdom, and a dispensation of the gospel for the last times; and for the fulness of times, in the which I will gather together in one all things, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth;"
Q- So was John the Beloved later ordained as an apostle?
A- Yes. He is spoken of by Nephi as the one who would write the last days events, and also be one of the apostles of the Lord. See 1 Ne 14:18-27."

1 Oliver Cowdery, verily, verily, I say unto you, that assuredly as the Lord liveth, who is your God and your Redeemer, even so surely shall you receive a knowledge of whatsoever things you shall ask in faith, with an honest heart, believing that you shall receive a knowledge concerning the engravings of old records, which are ancient, which contain those parts of my scripture of which has been spoken by the manifestation of my Spirit.
2 Yea, behold, I will tell you in your mind and in your heart, by the Holy Ghost, which shall come upon you and which shall dwell in your heart.
8 Therefore, doubt not, for it is the gift of God; and you shall hold it in your hands, and do marvelous works; and no power shall be able to take it away out of your hands, for it is the work of God.
9 And, therefore, whatsoever you shall ask me to tell you by that means, that will I grant unto you, and you shall have knowledge concerning it.
10 Remember that without faith you can do nothing; therefore ask in faith. Trifle not with these things; do not ask for that which you ought not.
11 Ask that you may know the mysteries of God, and that you may translate and receive knowledge from all those ancient records which have been hid up, that are sacred; and according to your faith shall it be done unto you.
12 Behold, it is I that have spoken it; and I am the same that spake unto you from the beginning. Amen.
187L3-187L7: "Heavenly Father spoke. I saw his lips move and knew he was speaking, but I couldn't hear his words! I redoubled my efforts to hear him, and to drop all of my mortal concerns. I then could hear him clearly in my mind. I hesitated asking him if he would please repeat what I had missed.
He then spoke these words: 'Raphael, when you are thinking of anything other than hearing what I may speak to you, you really are not listening to me. It will then be impossible to hear my words, for I require your heart and mind be focused on what I might say to you. We need attentive children who come to us in prayer in order for us to reveal our words and thoughts to them. If they are distracted in their prayers, they will not hear us.
S.A. had recently written to you these words: 'I am grateful to be stretched to ask specific questions in prayer, and seek to confirm these for truth. It takes great focus and effort, but I feel so richly blessed to have direct communion with my Heavenly Parents in prayer!" (see your post 186G15).
When Oliver Cowdery sought to be endowed with the gift of translation, Jesus Christ addressed his request through the prophet Joseph Smith.
D&C 8:1-2, 8-11
"Oliver Cowdery, verily, verily, I say unto you, that assuredly as the Lord liveth, who is your God and your Redeemer, even so surely shall you receive a knowledge of whatsoever things you shall ask in faith, with an honest heart, believing that you shall receive a knowledge concerning the engravings of old records
Yea, behold, I will tell you in your mind and in your heart, by the Holy Ghost, which shall come upon you and which shall dwell in your heart.
...Therefore, doubt not, for it is the gift of God; and you shall hold it in your hands, and do marvelous works; and no power shall be able to take it away out of your hands, for it is the work of God.
And, therefore, whatsoever you shall ask me to tell you by that means, that will I grant unto you, and you shall have knowledge concerning it.
Remember that without faith (and focus) you can do nothing; therefore ask in faith. Trifle not with these things; do not ask for that which you ought not.
Ask that you may know the mysteries of God...and according to your faith shall it be done unto you." (words in parenthesis added by Heavenly Father).
Raphael, it is time now for us to reveal more of our mysteries to you and those in your small group who receive your email posts. We wish them each to make time for us, their Gods, in mighty prayer, and to focus their minds and hearts to hear our words. We will then answer their every concern and question. In this process, we will reveal our great truths and mysteries, yet to be unveiled at this time prior to Zion being reestablished on the earth. We may prompt them also to share our words with you so that you may confirm them, and make them a permanent part of our records in the Church of the Firstborn."

Doctrine & Covenants 8:2
2 Yea, behold, I will tell you in your mind and in your heart, by the Holy Ghost, which shall come upon you and which shall dwell in your heart.
187A3-187A11, from Heavenly Mother: "'Raphael, your Heavenly Father spoke to you this morning of the general roles of your Heavenly Father and I, and also of Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son, with respect to leading our children on the earth. You have seen that we, who are your Heavenly Parents, are the ones who usually reveal ourselves to you. You rarely visit with Jesus Christ, although we are one with him and all of us have the same purposes, and are united in all we do.
Jesus Christ is the God who will reign in the terrestrial world during the great millennium. Your Father and I reign in the celestial world, which during the millennium will be in the New Jerusalem celestial temple and grounds, plus here on the celestial orb.
When Jesus Christ introduces the Father and I to our elect children, this is a very personal experience. In addition, they will have become clean and pure every whit through the redemption of Jesus. They then are able to enter into our celestial presence, even in our celestial glory and kingdom. We are the Gods in this kingdom, and then speak to them and lead them along, all in our celestial realms. We speak to them in their unconscious minds since this is the part of their mind that may hear us and commune with us in the celestial realms. As mortals, they need to be meditative so as to connect their mortal conscious mind to their immortal and celestial unconscious mind. This is how we have always spoken with them, even before they were sent to the earth.
For those in the telestial world, I have also been chosen for this eternity to be the Holy Ghost (see your post 130F6). I manifest myself to those in this telestial realm, and prompt and guide them. Those who hear my Holy Spirit through the Holy Ghost may receive a witness from me in their mind and heart. I speak differently to our telestial children than I speak to you now. In the telestial realms, I tell you primarily by feelings, whereas in our celestial realms you hear my very words in your unconscious mind.
D&C 8:2. In the telestial realm:
"Yea, behold, I will tell you in your mind, and in your heart, by the Holy Ghost, which shall come upon you and which shall dwell in your heart."
In our celestial realm, we speak to you our directions by our words, accompanied by a confirming witness of peace and assurance. This is how I am speaking to your thoughts in your mind, even now. During your day, my words also come into your thoughts, and help you be directed throughout your day. This is a much more personal and direct way that I may guide you as your Heavenly Mother and as the Holy Ghost, even from my hidden celestial realm, where I dwell.
Isaiah 30:21 In the celestial realm:
"And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left."
You see that your Heavenly Father and I, and Jesus Christ have a different way to communicate with our beloved and receptive children, depending upon the spiritual realm in which they live and communicate to us in. In all of these realms, we share our great love and guidance. As our children come close to our celestial realm, we speak and lead more openly. This is the preferred way we wish to commune with our children. However, they need to qualify to come into our celestial presence by their faith in Christ and their good works and diligent efforts.'
I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her clarifications. I said I was so pleased to hear her very words in my mind, and to view her with my celestial spiritual eyes."

Doctrine & Covenants 8:2-3
2 Yea, behold, I will tell you in your mind and in your heart, by the Holy Ghost, which shall come upon you and which shall dwell in your heart.
3 Now, behold, this is the spirit of revelation; behold, this is the spirit by which Moses brought the children of Israel through the Red Sea on dry ground.
63E1-63E13: "While I was preparing the post last night, we were listening to Elder Oaks and Ballard in their responses to questions by the Young Single Adults. Something Elder Oaks stated disturbed me and I asked God about it in my prayer this morning. We only listened to about one quarter of the fireside.
I came to my Heavenly Parents in the birch tree grove this morning. I drank of the living water from the little stream there. My Heavenly Parents were before me. I gazed into their happy, smiling faces. I felt great peace.
I then thanked them for all I had seen and been shown. I felt their trust and acceptance.
Here is my question:
Q: Elder Oaks said we could know if our answers we receive are from God or not if they are consistent with what has already been revealed before. He said we should compare the 'revelation' to what the scriptures say and what has already been revealed to the prophets. He said God is very consistent. Is this correct?
Answer, from Heavenly Mother:
'Raphael, if one only compares his or her revelation to scripture or prophets, this limits our ability to reveal something new. We would have rather Elder Oaks refer to D&C 8:2-3 and D&C 9:7-9 where we explain how to recognize spiritual revelation we give to the mind and heart of our children.
(D&C 8:2-3:
"Yea, behold, I will tell you in your mind and in your heart, by the Holy Ghost, which shall come upon you and which shall dwell in your heart.
Now, behold, this is the spirit of revelation; behold, this is the spirit by which Moses brought the children of Israel through the Red Sea on dry ground."
D&C 9:8-9:
"But, behold, I say unto you, that you must study it out in your mind; then you must ask me if it be right, and if it is right I will cause that your bosom shall burn within you; therefore, you shall feel that it is right.
But if it be not right you shall have no such feelings, but you shall have a stupor of thought that shall cause you to forget the thing which is wrong; therefore, you cannot write that which is sacred save it be given you from me.")
We have actually revealed to you not to pay tithing and not to attend church, the very example Elder Oaks mentioned that was from the wrong source. He should have talked about the need to be open to spiritual impressions and to connect to their Heavenly Father in humility and faith.
These two men, Elder Oaks and Ballard, have previously rejected our revelation about high priestesses because they felt it was inconsistent with previous revelations in the scriptures and to the brethren. This is why we have come to you, Raphael, who are open to our promptings and revelations.
We will gather our elect by spiritual revelations to their mind and hearts. They cannot rely on others or the doctrines of men, but only on this spiritual connection to us, their God. This is as we have designed the process of receiving and accepting revelation from God.'
I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her clear words. I felt so blessed that I have been open to their direction and trusted in my own intuition and revelations they have given me.
Heavenly Father then wanted me to write the words he would speak to me. I feel very directed now in writing his words:
'Raphael, we are displeased in the direction that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is currently teaching through their leaders about personal revelation. We are revealing to our children who will listen to our work, our strange work, and to our act, our strange act. We try in many ways to influence and reveal our direction to our faithful children, but many of them reject these promptings because of false teachings like promoted by Elder Oaks. These teachings are subtle, but they undermine the very foundation of revelation and connection to God. We have rejected, therefore, this church because of these sorts of teachings.
We require the humble, open heart and mind of our children. We desire to connect to them and to lead them gently along as we have you and these mortal angels who sustain you.
Speaking of our revelations:
"But those who harden their hearts in unbelief, and reject it, it shall turn to their own condemnation." (D&C 20:15)
This condemnation has brought the whole church under condemnation:
"And this condemnation resteth upon the children of Zion, even all. And they shall remain under this condemnation until they repent and remember the new covenant, even the Book of Mormon, and the former commandments which I have given them, not only to say but to do according to that which I have written-that they may bring forth fruit meet for their Father's kingdom; otherwise there remaineth a scourge and judgment to be poured out upon the children of Zion. For shall the children of the kingdom pollute my holy land? Verily, I say unto you, nay." (D&C 84: 55-59)'
I could tell that my Father and Mother were very firm in what they said. They are displeased with these attitudes that are being taught. I thanked them for their clear direction and the strength of their answers this morning.
I was ready now to start my day. I then felt to kneel down again from writing in the chair in my journal. I saw then the 'hot displeasure look' on the faces of my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother! I had somehow stirred up in them perhaps a subject that greatly displeased them. They were both looking beyond me to those members of the LDS church who were rejecting their revelations and who were in condemnation before them! I then felt this in my mind: "Woe to those who are condemned before God!" This is the condemnation of God! I prayed then for those good people in the LDS church who have been lulled away in carnal security because of false teachings. These are the ones whom God will scourge and who are under the judgment of God!"
133B3-133B12: "Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, last night I spoke to you about the still small voice of our spirit, and how our children need to quiet down to hear us. This is a crowning experience of life in mortality, to break through their unbelief and be able to always hear our voice, and then obey. Those who do so in mortality become our elect. They will not be led astray, or be deceived. (see D&C 45:56-57).
We do not suddenly counter and lead our children from the norms of their society, culture, and traditions, but do so gradually. We have found it takes time for our children to shift their mindset after we have given them revelation. Thus by degrees we gradually lead them and shape their mind to our own views and perspective.
Your Heavenly Mother and I have addressed this topic of our spirit many times with you. Each time we do, you have matured a little more in your spiritual understanding and insight. You progress and change by following our commands, each time acting in faith. We rarely give you so much new truth or revelation in a way that doesn't require faith to accept and believe. This is our way, so that in all of our gentle leading, you may always question and keep wondering if you are being led by us or yourself, or someone else. However, whenever you may ask us, we consistently give you the same assurances that you are being led aright.
We gently and quietly lead our faithful children to receive more and more truths and directions from us their Gods. In their mortal, telestial state, we want them to always confirm that our guidance is truly from us, and not from themselves or some false spirit or from a friend or leader that unknowingly may be leading them astray. Each one of our elect need to choose for themselves whom they will follow.
When we bring our elect from the telestial world, into a terrestrial or celestial realm, our spirit comes to their mind more clearly and with greater sureness. We want them, however, to first be proven in their telestial mortal state, in order for them to act in faith. We test and try our children who act in faith and obey. This assures that they are truly candidates for entry into our celestial Church of the Firstborn. Once proven and accepted by Jesus Christ, the keeper of the gate leading to the path to exaltation and eternal life, they will have demonstrated they hear and follow our still small voice.
Some who have read your words about us speaking to your unconscious mind are confused by the term unconscious, or wonder about where this part of the mind may be located. Your unconscious mind that we speak about is not acting in your body but not consciously accessible. It is hidden from your views and conscious, comes into our children often as a questionable thought or feeling. This is in contrast to your conscious mind that may view, see, perceive and verify the source by physical sight, touch, taste, smell, sound or reasoning. To verify that something comes into your unconscious mind and is true is not verifiable by the physical senses. It is verifiable in your mind and heart, perceivable in assurances from us your Gods that we send to you by our still small voice of the spirit. The spirit is light and truth, and resonates in your being with feelings and impressions.
When Stephen and Abraham were in life-threatening situations (see post 132G4-132G10), and were threatened with death, we came to them in their unconscious mind, so that they clearly perceived us. They had both become accustomed to our voice and knew and recognized this just as plainly as they could verify something coming into their mortal conscious mind. They both received visions of the Almighty in their unconscious mind. This was in a realm that was not verifiable by their five mortal senses, but it was spiritually perceived. All visions from God, given by us through revelation, come to this part of the mind and heart of man or woman, for this is the region of the spirit of man where we address them. Our spiritually sensitive children are very much aware of our visions and voice of the spirit that we share with them, even in their telestial, mortal state. All of our elect hear our voice, given through their unconscious mind and heart.
The unconscious heart that I speak of refers to the feelings and inner yearning of your heart and breast. This is the area in our mortal children where they feel often inspired and motivated to action. We address this hidden part of our children also, in addition to their unconscious mind. Their heart is the receptacle of pure and virtuous feelings of love, empathy, compassion, and all holy and goodly virtues.
D&C 8:2-3-"Yea, behold I will tell you in your mind and in your heart (these are both not in your conscious state, but in the inner man or woman, in an unconscious or hidden part of the spirit of man), by the Holy Ghost, which shall come upon you and which shall dwell in your heart. (This heart and breast area is where our holy spirit, or the Holy Ghost resides in our children, so that they may feel what is right and truthful).
Now, behold, this is the spirit of revelation; behold, this is the spirit by which Moses brought the children of Israel through the Red Sea on dry ground. (This prompting to divide the Red Sea was given to Moses in his unconscious mind, and not in his conscious mind. It was verifiable by our Spirit, and not by the five physical senses.)' (parenthesis commentary added by Heavenly Father)."
140C6-140C14, from Heavenly Mother: "Even with all of our light and glory, we choose to speak to our humble, faithful children in a soft and still voice. We speak quietly to their inner souls, to their unconscious minds. It requires our children who hear to be prepared for our words through meditation, openness and receptivity. This guiding star within them comes from us, their Heavenly Parents. They will recognize our voice, for we have always spoken to them this way, through our Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost. We will gently and carefully guide them in their lives if they allow us to do so. In order to have our continual guidance, they must keep our counsels and directions we have previously given them. In this way, they may receive more.
Our children will not cause our wrath to rise unless they are full of wickedness and evil, and refuse to hear our voice. Then at some time, according to our will and time, we will come out in judgment against them in our power and strength.
Last night when you knelt on the cliff across this lake, you perceived dark clouds to the north. You fully saw these with your spiritual eyes and your unconscious mind. The view came to you in your mind and not through your mortal conscious self or your physical eyes. All of your perceptions and views come in this way, and they come from us. This manner of seeing into our celestial world and even into our faces, the faces of God, come to you in this clear but different way than you see and talk to people in mortality. This does not make it any less real, however, for it is very real and true. You need to be attentive to what perceptions you sense and receive by being in a quiet state.
Raphael, it is in this mental and spiritual quietness that our children come unto us and hear us. They need to be open and believing and to follow what we send to them. As they practice, they will receive more and more light and truth. We will speak to them in their minds and hearts, by our still small voice.
D&C 8:2-3
"Yea, behold, I will tell you in your mind and in your heart, by the Holy Ghost, which shall come upon you and which shall dwell in your heart.
Now, behold, this is the spirit of revelation; behold, this is the spirit by which Moses brought the children of Israel through the Red Sea on dry ground."
In the days ahead will be fulfilled this scripture, spoken by Ezekiel:
Ezekiel 36:26-28
"A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.
And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God."
Jeremiah also spoke of this change of heart in my people in your day:
Jeremiah 31:33-34
"But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more."'"
171G2-171G4, from R: "I suspect the prompting I will receive as Raphael to initiate Nibiru coming will be at the moment of it happening. This will probably be by a still small voice like Moses received:
D&C 8: 2-3
"Yea, behold, I will tell you in your mind, and in your heart, by the Holy Ghost, which shall come upon you and which shall dwell in your heart.
Now behold, this is the spirit of revelation, behold, this is the spirit by which Moses brought the children of Israel through the Red Sea on dry ground."
I want to be continually in tune to my Gods so that if they wish to share anything with me, or want me to do anything, I will be able to hear them and initiate the actions that they request."
176G8-176G15, from Heavenly Father: "'Raphael, I have brought you up into my celestial sky this morning to talk with you face to face. Whenever you might be in need to talk to me, or to your Heavenly Mother, think of coming into our celestial sky and we will immediately come before you, even in your conscious mind. You may then feel assured. We will answer your questions, and give you further directions, even face to face as I am doing for you now.
You also have a habit to test the truthfulness of many of your interactions with us, your Gods, and the revelations we give to you, by bringing your open hands in front of you. You then receive a confirmation in your heart and mind of any truth you have received from us. If it is not from us, you feel a darkened negative feeling in your mind, and know that this is not true and not from us, your Gods. This is an immediate second witness, a confirmation of what you wish to know, and what you have received. You may also continue to trust this method that you have developed.
A third way for you to know our truths and confirm all things we give to you is to kneel before us in humble and open prayer, and ask of us in your mind. We will give the confirmation you seek by opening up your conscious mind with the feeling you are high up in the sky and all is true and clear. If what you are inquiring about is not true nor from us, you will not have such elevated feelings, but it will appear as darkness to you.
This is the same way that Jesus Christ, our Firstborn Son, answered Joseph Smith our prophet of the restoration, in answer to Oliver Cowdery's request:
D&C 8:2-3
"Yea, behold, I will tell you in your mind and in your heart, by the Holy Ghost, which shall come upon you and which shall dwell in your heart.
Now, behold, this is the spirit of revelation; behold, this is the spirit by which Moses brought the children of Israel through the Red Sea on dry ground."
D&C 9:7-9
"Behold, you have not understood; you have supposed that I would give it unto you, when you took no thought save it was to ask me.
But, behold, I say unto you, that you must study it out in your mind; then you must ask me if it be right, and if it is right I will cause that your bosom shall burn within you; therefore, you shall feel that it is right.
But if it be not right you shall have no such feelings, but you shall have a stupor of thought that shall cause you to forget the thing which is wrong; therefore, you cannot write that which is sacred save it be given you from me."
Raphael, you have diligently inquired of us throughout the many last years of your life in this manner, and more particularly since your son A. experienced his brain injury. We have led you by the hand, step by step, and given you abundant guidance and revelations. You have continually inquired of us and confirmed these truths are from us, and that you had written them down accurately. We have witnessed to your heart and mind that they are all true, even when you were receiving them and afterwards when you again humbly and openly questioned us.
By this means we have been able to reveal to you our truths, some which we have never before revealed to mankind in the flesh. Your mission and activity for us is crucial in these last days to gather our elect into our safe garners, and to protect and bless them. You will be our transition prophet, bridging the telestial world to the terrestrial, and bringing many into our celestial temple at the New Jerusalem. Fear not, for we will continue to guide and direct by our mighty hand!'"

Doctrine & Covenants 8:8
8 Therefore, doubt not, for it is the gift of God; and you shall hold it in your hands, and do marvelous works; and no power shall be able to take it away out of your hands, for it is the work of God.
190D7-190D13: "Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, when any of our children come to us as have you, we will reveal ourselves to them. We are doing this more and more in these days, particularly as our elect are awakened in part because of the teachings they receive in our celestial realms at night. We reveal to each one our revelations, whatsoever we wish them to do, and any callings we may extend to them.
We knew beforehand who of our children living on earth would seek us diligently as have you. We therefore chose those to be our leaders, to help the others who would follow them in coming unto us, their Gods.
You were one of the first ones, and therefore we came to you in your energy class in April, 2013. You had been seeking us diligently before that time. You are our fourth son, even Raphael, in this eternity. We sent you to earth at this time to do your work and to receive your commission while in the flesh. We have orchestrated all of this and the timing, so that you would be one of the first ones. We have brought a few of our other humble and open children along to support and sustain you, and to receive their own assignments and missions. These are those on your small email list.
I know you marvel and wonder at all of these events and happenings. Your calling is similar to that of Joseph Smith, in the very beginning of this new and final dispensation, when Jesus Christ, my Beloved Son, spoke through Joseph to Oliver Cowdery and David Whitmer in June 1829:
D&C 18:8
"And now, marvel not that I have called him unto mine own purpose, which purpose is known in me; wherefore, if he shall be diligent in keeping my commandments he shall be blessed unto eternal life; and his name is Joseph."
My word to you is to continue to be diligent, even as was Joseph, our servant in his day.
D&C 8:8
"Therefore, doubt not, for it is the gift of God; and you shall hold it in your hands, and do marvelous works; and no power shall be able to take it away out of your hands, for it is the work of God." '
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his assuring words and further explanations this morning. I thanked him for revealing himself to me, and for extending to me his will, my commission and calling. I said I would do even as he and Heavenly Mother ask and direct me."

203A14-203A15, from R: "I also received the Spirit, and felt the clear confirmation this was true and from God. What more can I know than this, that it is of God and is true? I feel this scripture in D&C 8:8-9 applies to me:
"Therefore, doubt not, for it is the gift of God (my answer to my prayer tonight); and you shall hold it in your hands, and do marvelous works; and no power shall be able to take it out of your hands, for it is the work of God.
And, therefore, whatsoever you ask me to tell you by that means (how I prayed and received a clear confirmation tonight), that will I grant unto you, and you shall have knowledge concerning it." (words in parenthesis from R)."

Sun, Apr 1, 2012
This is the basis for receiving revelation from God: we ask if our question be right, then we feel it in our bosom. If it not right we shall have no feeling in our bosom, and in our mind shall come a stupor of thought.
201A5-201A10, from Heavenly Father: "He came walking from the path to my front left, and was soon standing before me. He was smiling and spoke: 'Raphael, when you approached Heavenly Mother and me last Thursday morning, we hadn't yet confirmed to you that it was time to go on the airplane to visit your earthly mother. You had thought our not answering you meant that you should not go. However, you kept discussing this with your wife and were open to our promptings. You then made up your mind that you should go to visit your ailing mother. Once you made this decision, based on all the circumstances and the support of your wife, you then prayed to us again and we confirmed this decision to you by our spirit. Without you stepping out and making a decision on your own, we would not have given to you our positive assurance and Spirit to confirm this was the right decision.
Such a process is how we will guide and give answers to you and our elect in the days ahead. We expect each of you to evaluate the situation and circumstances before you, and then to prayerfully make a decision, in all humility and openness of heart. Then when you pray to us, we will answer according to D&C 9:7-9. You will feel our confirming Spirit as enlightenment and peace, and a burning within you. If it is a wrong or incorrect decision, you shall have no such feelings, and even a stupor of thought. This stupor will often be strong enough to cause you to forget the thing or decision which is wrong.
Looking back with your present perspective, you can tell that you made the correct decision. This visit has greatly uplifted your mother and sister, and been a joy for you as well. Your Heavenly Mother and I are pleased in how it all worked out so well, despite your concerns during this time of the lingering pandemic declared in the land.
When our faithful children are soon confronted with all sorts of the effects of war, plague, disasters and upheavals in their lives of all kinds, we will be by their side to guide them. Without consulting us, they may make incorrect choices. However, when they reason out their decisions, using their best logic and feelings, and make a decision, we will then clearly confirm that what they have decided to be good for them or not. This will be revelation from us to their humble request as they wait upon us, we will surely answer.
here will be times when we confirm their decisions in the final hours and minutes. This is all part of our helping them to learn to listen to our voice, and patiently wait upon the Lord.'
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his words of truth. I felt very pleased to have renewed in my mind the approved way that revelations from God come to help us in our mortal decisions."

Doctrine & Covenants 9:8
8 But, behold, I say unto you, that you must study it out in your mind; then you must ask me if it be right, and if it is right I will cause that your bosom shall burn within you; therefore, you shall feel that it is right.
135C4-135C10, from Heavenly Mother: "She was smiling and she was beaming with intense pure and bright light. I knew this light was the light of the Holy Ghost! It beamed into and through me, giving me the feeling of being transparent and clear and that she saw and shone into every part of my being. During this time I was looking into her sparkling eyes and beautiful face, I felt for a moment like I could see from her perspective the world around her and me kneeling before her! I then came back to my own mind in my body and then heard her speak in my open mind and thoughts:
'Raphael, your Heavenly Father and I speak to you usually in this same method of communication in your mind. We may also send emotions like love and acceptance in the light we shine upon you, that fills your being. This primarily, however, comes into your heart area.
D&C 9:8
"But, behold, I say unto you, that you must study it out in your mind; then you must ask me if it be right, and if it is right I will cause that your bosom shall burn within you; therefore, you shall feel that it is right."
In that instance given in the scripture we may also give feelings that give you a burning in your bosom, or your heart area. This burning feeling is another way of saying that our light comes into your heart in greater intensity than normal. You then feel the accompanying feelings of that light that we send to you.
When I give you of my Spirit, it is called the Holy Ghost. When your Heavenly Father or Jesus give you of their light it is called the Holy Spirit. It is all made up of the light from us, your Gods. We receive this light from our first parent Gods who make it up from elemental matter, and send it out from the center of our universe where they live, to fill the vast immensity of space. When it comes into our galaxy, we Gods receive it and then dispense it to all of our creations.
When I send forth my light of the Holy Ghost, I may concentrate more light in a more intense manner. I have been selected in this eternity as the Holy Ghost, whose role and position it is to act in this way. This is why you often feel the more intense light from my presence, and that my light of the Holy Ghost passes through you and makes you feel very transparent and clear. This experience is also the fullness of the Holy Ghost, a gift we give our very faithful sons and daughters, even according to our will and our desires (see your post 131H11-131H19).
You had the experience on this knoll to receive the fullness of the Holy Ghost. You also jumped into my own being for a moment and saw with my perspective yourself kneeling before me and the world around you. This is another gift I give as part of the fullness of the Holy Ghost. That experience is one we reserve for our faithful who receive the fullness of the Holy Ghost. They must first be cleansed and purified by Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son. Once he who is worthy, Jesus Christ, cleanses them through his atoning blood, their past sins are forgiven and they are made clean every whit. He then soon introduces them again to us, their Heavenly Parents. Then, in process of time, I give to our faithful son or daughter the fullness of the Holy Ghost. There is no set timing of me doing this, but according to our will, of your Father and I."

111I10-111I11, from Heavenly Father: "'Raphael, my son, when you attended your son's ward this afternoon, his bishop said something that was significant, that will help you. He said that two people can experience the same situation and have entirely two different viewpoints of what happened. This is the same when one of our children is looking for evidence or impressions upon which to build his or her own story, testimony, or account of an experience. The person then may boldly testify that they know that God's hand was influencing the results or the outcome of what happened. The more removed my people become from the true Spirit of God, the more stories or fables they concoct. Such were the testimonies you heard today about how God led them to call people to new positions in the newly organized ward.
There are now so many of the Latter-day Saints who so much want miracles in their personal lives that they make up a miracle story. They don't even put forth the effort required to receive our guidance, but are so prone to tell a sensational story. They continue to become removed from our influence as they perpetuate these sorts of fables.'
Heavenly Father continued: 'The Spirit of God may come upon one of our children in their mortal life, bearing witness to their heart and mind in an unmistakable way. These impressions come distinctly by the still small voice, or by the power of the Holy Ghost. This is our Spirit that may touch and inspire our child. Often this Spirit comes in response to humble, open and diligent prayer. We may come to gently guide and prompt our pleading child. We rarely come in sensational ways, but in the quiet times during or after meditation. We also influence and guide our children in small whispers that they feel or hear in their own minds and hearts. The feeling that a decision is right comes after studying the situation and asking if it be right. We may cause the bosom to burn within our recipient so that he or she knows it is right (see D&C 9:8-9). If it be not right, we give other directions, like a stupor of thought or forgetting of the thing that is not right. All of this takes time to cultivate and to hear with accuracy. When our children persistently seek us in prayer, in their meditative and quiet time, then they are more likely to hear our gentle whispers, by the Spirit of God. There is no shortcut to developing within oneself a familiarity with our voice, the voice of the Spirit.'"
192D8-192D11, from Heavenly Father: "It is also true that you perceive the surroundings here at the desert oasis where we are located. You are here in a replicated celestial state and have full access to your unconscious mind. On earth, your conscious mind that you are required to think in, has a difficult time seeing or perceiving, or hearing or thinking all of this, for it is not clear like your replicated being before me is able to hear and think.
This is all by our grand design. It takes effort for you to connect in such a clear way as you do with us. You have persisted in daily communion with us over the years, and now what we say to you in your celestial replicated self flows into your conscious mind on earth. This happens even during your day when you are doing activities in your mortal life. It takes you just seconds to pause and hear us commune with you.
This same access to us can be developed by any one of our children on earth. We will help each one who sincerely tries, with an open heart and mind, in a quiet, meditative state. They will hear the voice of our Spirit, or our words as we communicate to their unconscious mind too. They may independently confirm this entire method of communication by the feelings and impressions we give them, even in their heart and mind:
D&C 9:8-9
"But behold, I say unto you, that you must study it out in your mind; then you must ask me if it be right, and if it right I will cause that your bosom shall burn within you; therefore, you shall feel that it is right.
But if it be not right you shall have no such feelings, but you shall have a stupor of thought that shall cause you to forget the thing which is wrong; therefore, you cannot write that which is sacred save it be given you from me.""
199J16-199J20, from Heavenly Father: "Raphael, you are responsible for what we have revealed to you. Our words and truths are accompanied by our Spirit. By this means, whether you receive the Spirit or not, you may know the truth of all things (see Moroni 10:5).
It is incumbent upon every man and woman to seek us and determine for themselves what they believe. We generously send our Spirit, even the Holy Ghost, to witness the truth of all things, or to not witness false notions or falsehoods. We have clearly done this for you today.
Some of our children may be unwilling to hear our truths, for they are blinded by that which they want to hear, or by their deeply ingrained traditions and taboos they have set for themselves as personal boundaries. They may so much want to hear what they believe is true that they close their hearts and minds to our deeper truths. Some will not hear what we gently whisper to them, for they are afraid of truth if it is too hard for them to bear.
You have thought of this scripture in JST Mark 9:44-46 this evening:
"Therefore, let every man stand or fall, by himself, and not for another; or trusting another.
Seek unto my Father, and it shall be done in that very moment what ye shall ask, if ye ask in faith, believing that ye shall receive.
And if thine eye which seeth for thee, him that is appointed to watch over thee to show thee light, become a transgressor and offend thee, pluck him out."
Raphael, when a man or woman bears witness to you and you don't receive our confirming witness, then you may ask further of us. You will then know by the burning in the bosom if it is true, or by a stupor of thought, or a negative impression if it is false (see D&C 9:8-9). In this way you will be carefully led to know the mind of God in all situations that confront you.'"

Our elect hear our voice and obey our commandments. We will gather our elect together from the ends of the earth, even to Zion, the New Jerusalem. This will be the place for our saints of the most high. The word saints means those whom we sanctify by the reception of our Spirit. It does not mean formal membership in any church. Those who belong to our church repent and come unto our Beloved Son:
D&C 10: 67
"Behold, this is my doctrine-whosoever repenteth and cometh unto me, the same is my church.'
This revelation was given to Joseph Smith, our prophet, even one year before the Church of Christ was formally organized on the earth. Such will be the case in Zion, for the saints of God will repent and be gathered together into the church of God, even before our Church of Christ will be reestablished again among them in a formal setting.'"

Christ's Church. Pres Benson quoted this in his first Presidency message in the Ensign October 1989 issue, "A Mighty Change of Heart". This defines church membership according to Jesus Christ, not just a member of record, but one who repents and comes to Christ.
Those who humbly repent and come to Jesus Christ, and follow his directions, are numbered among the elect of God, chosen by the Father. See 1 Nephi 14 for those of the Church of the Lamb, for these are those of his church, and are those Jesus is talking about.

Doctrine & Covenants 11:5
5 Therefore, if you will ask of me you shall receive; if you will knock it shall be opened unto you.
185H14-185H19, from Heavenly Father: "'Raphael, there is a sequence of steps that each of our children need to follow in order to develop the faith necessary to fulfill our every desire for them to do on earth.
The first step is for them to come in constant communication with us, their Gods. This is the level we are working on with you. This requires that you receive our word, our mind and will, and recognize for sure this is from us your Gods. Once you know our mind and will, if there is some step or action we wish you to fulfill, then you need to make sure you do all in your power to accomplish this. We will prepare and open up the way to make it so that you can fulfill our will (see 1 Nephi 3:7).
Once this becomes a standard behavior or practice, of you hearing our voice and then acting on whatever we direct you to do, then you will be our true and faithful servant! In continuing in this way of living, your faith will continue to grow, even to where you are exceedingly full of faith and action. You will have confidence in our presence, and our revelations will flow continually into your heart and mind, and will distill upon you as the dews from heaven. This connection between you, our child, and us, your Gods, will be constant, and will flow easily from us to you without any degree of compulsion or restriction. In addition, your desires will flow also to us, and we will order all things for your good (see D&C 121: 45-46, and D&C 111:11). In this state of oneness, whatever you ask of us you shall receive; if you knock it shall; be opened unto you (D&C 11:5).
It is in this state of full connection with us, your Gods, that you will develop the faith necessary to do as the ancients did, in commanding nature or the elements, and having them obey. We hold out this promise to act in our name not only to our faithful sons who are ordained after my order of the priesthood, but to our faithful daughters who are ordained after Heavenly Mother's order to a high priestess. Both are given access to our Godly power as they become one with us, and are ordained to this authority with our approval. They then may exercise our power on the earth, even as did Melchizedek and Enoch:
JST Genesis 14:26,29-31
"Now Melchizedek was a man of faith, who wrought righteousness; and when a child he feared God, and stopped the mouths of lions, and quenched the violence of fire.
And it was delivered unto men by the calling of his own voice, according to his own will, unto as many as believed on his name.
For God having sworn unto Enoch and unto his seed with an oath by himself; that every one being ordained after this order and calling should have power, by faith, to break mountains, to divide the seas, to dry up waters, to turn them out of their course.
To put at defiance the armies of nations, to divide the earth, to break up every band, to stand in the presence of God; to do all things according to his will, according to his command, subdue principalities and powers; and this by the will of the Son of God, which was from before the foundation of the world."
Raphael, once you and our faithful sons and daughters become one with us, our very servants, we will command you to act and do according to our desire. You will exercise the faith to act and to do our will. You will be courageous, and full of faith and confidence. At such a time, even the elements and all nature will obey your words, for you will be commanding even in the name of God and by our direct authority. Of yourself, you will do nothing except as a normal man. But in our behalf, you will act fully in our power and authority.'"

Doctrine & Covenants 11:7
7 Seek not for riches but for wisdom; and, behold, the mysteries of God shall be unfolded unto you, and then shall you be made rich. Behold, he that hath eternal life is rich.
189M2-189M8, from Heavenly Father: "'Raphael, you and your wife are trying to spend your money more freely, and not be so frugal. You have plenty of resources to buy what you desire.
In our world, we don't use money as you know. However, he or she that has eternal life is rich (see D&C 11:7). You have not sought for the riches that we have blessed you with, but we have richly blessed you with abundance. You have sought instead for communion with us, your Gods, and we have abundantly given to you the mysteries of eternity. Whatever you may want or need, we will give to you.'
We then were both transported to a very lovely spot on the celestial orb, above a beautiful forest, lake, and a stream that I could see. I saw mountains in the distance.
Heavenly Father waved his arm in front of him and spoke: 'Raphael, we give eternal life to all of our faithful children. They then are able to create vast worlds, even as have your Heavenly Mother and I, without any regard to money. All the resources they might need in creating and populating their worlds are theirs. There is no limit to these resources for our exalted children who become new Gods in eternity.
We will freely impart of all we may have, and of our abundant powers and resources, to our lowly and humble followers on the earth. We will bless them to have sufficient for their needs as they seek first the kingdom of God in their lives. Because their hearts are not set upon riches, they will receive in time all that we have, even in an unlimited abundance.
While you live on earth, we are pleased when you share of your riches freely with those around you. We are pleased when you do not focus on your riches, but focus on what money cannot buy which is a relationship with us, your Gods. We will then richly bless you to become even as us. We will share freely all we have with you.'
Heavenly Father then turned to me and spoke: 'Raphael, you may ask of us what you might want, and with our gentle confirmations, we will give it to you. We will do so for every one of our elect who first comes to us, and puts us first in their lives.'"

Doctrine & Covenants 13:1
1 Upon you my fellow servants, in the name of Messiah I confer the Priesthood of Aaron, which holds the keys of the ministering of angels, and of the gospel of repentance, and of baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; and this shall never be taken again from the earth, until the sons of Levi do offer again an offering unto the Lord in righteousness.
Mon, Apr 22, 2024
There will be a time on the terrestrial earth in the New Jerusalem, that this prophecy will be fulfilled. The final sacrifice will be offered by the sons of Levi, of the tribe of Levi from the lost tribes of Israel. After this sacrifice, the Aaronic Priesthood will no longer be passed by ordination from father to son, but will be stop from the millennial Church of Christ. The Melchizedek Priesthood will remain. There will be no further need of the preparatory priesthood on the earth.
43N1-43N27: "I have been thinking a lot about the LDS church, and what I have received over the past week and a half. Here some of my conclusions:
1) The priesthood keys, and the keys given to the church (ecclesiastical and special keys) are different. When a priesthood holder has grieved heaven and the Spirit, and lost his priesthood, his keys are also lost.
2) I have been told that the priesthood and the keys for all of the First Presidency (including the prophet) and the Quorum of the Twelve are now gone. These actions have affected other priesthood holders who also had these delegated keys of presidency. However, they have not adversely affected those worthy priesthood holders with priesthood keys associated inherently with their Aaronic and Melchizedek Priesthoods.
3) The keys of the Aaronic Priesthood (inherent in this priesthood) are given in D&C 13, and also D&C 107:20:
Key to the ministering of angels
Key to the gospel of repentance
Key to baptism by immersion for the remission of sins.
D&C 13:1-
"Upon you my fellow servants, in the name of Messiah I confer the Priesthood of Aaron, which holds the keys of the ministering of angels, and of the gospel of repentance, and of baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; and this shall never be taken again from the earth, until the sons of Levi do offer again an offering unto the Lord in righteousness."
D&C 107:20-
"The power and authority of the lesser, or Aaronic Priesthood, is to hold the keys of the ministering of angels, and to administer in outward ordinances, the letter of the gospel, the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins, agreeable to the covenants and commandments."
Note that this Aaronic Priesthood and its keys will not be taken from the earth until the sons of Levi offer an offering to the Lord in righteousness.
4) The keys of the Melchizedek Priesthood (inherent in this priesthood) are given in D&C 107:18-19:
The key to all the spiritual blessing of the church
The key to receiving the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven
The key to have the heavens opened unto them
The key to commune with the general assembly and the Church of the Firstborn
The key to enjoy the communion and presence of God the Father, and Jesus the mediator of the new covenant.
D&C 107:18-19-
The power and authority of the higher, or Melchizedek Priesthood, is to hold the keys of all the spiritual blessings of the church
To have the privilege of receiving the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, to have the heavens opened unto them, to commune with the general assembly and church of the Firstborn, and to enjoy the communion and presence of God the Father, and Jesus the mediator of the new covenant."
5) The decisions of the quorums in the church are to be done in righteousness (D&C 107:30-"The decisions of these quorums, or either of them, are to be made in all righteousness, in holiness, and lowliness of heart, meekness and long-suffering, and in faith, and virtue, and knowledge, temperance, patience, godliness, brotherly kindness and charity;"). If not, then none are exempt from the justice and the laws of God (see D&C 107:84-"Thus, none shall be exempted from the justice and the laws of God, that all things may be done in order and in solemnity before him, according to truth and righteousness."). He that is slothful, shall not be worthy to stand (D&C 107:100-"He that is slothful shall not be counted worthy to stand, and he that learns not his duty and shows himself not approved shall not be counted worthy to stand. Even so. Amen."). God is not to be mocked in these last days (D&C 63:58-"For this is a day of warning, and not a day of many words. For I, the Lord, am not to be mocked in the last days."). If the church does not repent, they will be cut off (D&C 63:63-"Wherefore, let the church repent of their sins, and I, the Lord, will own them; otherwise they shall be cut off.").
6) The keys given to Joseph Smith, and passed down to the current day by the ordination to the apostleship and conferral of these keys, are active in the president of the church, even though all of the the apostles hold those keys, unless they are lost through transgression. These keys include:
Key of the gathering of Israel
Key of sealing
Key of presidency
Key of the kingdom of God on the earth
Key to open the door by the proclamation of the gospel
Key of this Dispensation of the Fulness of Times
Key of the gospel of Abraham
see Guide to the Scripture-Keys of the Priesthood)
7) If the keys listed in 6) above, have now been lost due to cover-up and transgression, then Joseph Smith still holds all of these keys, being the prophet of the restoration. He is also the head of this last gospel dispensation.
I have some questions about this that I specifically asked and received answers for:
Q- Do I, Raphael, have any of the keys given in 6) above?
A- No
Q- With the keys in 6) above gone from the church now among mortals, does anyone on the earth, who is mortal, hold these keys anymore?
A- No
Q- Is the Kingdom of God then gone from the earth now?
A- No, but the Kingdom of God is now splintered and will need to be fully set back in order by God in his own due time.
Q- Are the keys of the Aaronic Priesthood still intact with all who have been conferred the Aaronic Priesthood (see D&C 13) and act in righteousness?
D&C 13:1-
1 Upon you my fellow servants, in the name of Messiah I confer the Priesthood of Aaron, which holds the keys of the ministering of angels, and of the gospel of repentance, and of baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; and this shall never be taken again from the earth, until the sons of Levi do offer again an offering unto the Lord in righteousness."
A- Yes
Q- Are the keys of the Melchizedek Priesthood still intact with all who have been conferred the Melchizedek Priesthood (see D&C 107:18-19) and act in righteousness?
D&C 107:18-20-
The power and authority of the higher, or Melchizedek Priesthood, is to hold the keys of all the spiritual blessings of the church
To have the privilege of receiving the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, to have the heavens opened unto them, to commune with the general assembly and church of the Firstborn, and to enjoy the communion and presence of God the Father, and Jesus the mediator of the new covenant."
A- Yes
Q- Again, are these removed now: the keys of Presidency and other keys in 6) above, and the priesthood from the entire First Presidency and the entire Quorum of the Twelve Apostles?
A- Yes. These keys and priesthood have been withdrawn because of cover-up and transgression. These will be reconfirmed by God or his appointed messenger(s) who gave this authority, or had this authority in the first place. This will be when God sets the kingdom of God, the Church of Christ, back in order again.
Q- Will the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints be removed from the earth?
A- No, but it will be set back in order.
Q- Are the ordinances of the priesthood still good and acceptable to God?
A- If a worthy priesthood holder officiates in righteousness, God honors his actions. These include blessing of the sacrament, baptism, confirmation, conferral of the priesthood, blessing of the sick, etc. What is not accepted now are these which require the keys which have been removed:
Key of sealing from Elijah (temple work)
Key of gathering of Israel from Moses (missionary work)
Key to open the door by the proclamation of the gospel (missionary work)
See D&C 110:11-16-
"After this vision closed, the heavens were again opened unto us; and Moses appeared before us, and committed unto us the keys of the gathering of Israel from the four parts of the earth, and the leading of the ten tribes from the land of the north.
After this, Elias appeared, and committed the dispensation of the gospel of Abraham, saying that in us and our seed all generations after us should be blessed.
After this vision had closed, another great and glorious vision burst upon us; for Elijah the prophet, who was taken to heaven without tasting death, stood before us, and said:
Behold, the time has fully come, which was spoken of by the mouth of Malachi testifying that he [Elijah] should be sent, before the great and dreadful day of the Lord come
To turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the children to the fathers, lest the whole earth be smitten with a curse
Therefore, the keys of this dispensation are committed into your hands; and by this ye may know that the great and dreadful day of the Lord is near, even at the doors."
Q- The keys of this dispensation, found in D&C 110:16 (see above)-where are these now?
A- Joseph Smith the prophet has these keys, and still retains all of these keys. God will set in order his own house as in the beginning. See D&C 113:7-8:
"Questions by Elias Higbee: What is meant by the command in Isaiah, 52d chapter, 1st verse, which saith: Put on thy strength, O Zion, and what people had Isaiah reference to?
He had reference to those whom God should call in the last days, who should hold the power of priesthood to bring again Zion, and the redemption of Israel; and to put on her strength is to put on the authority of the priesthood, which she, Zion, has a right to by lineage; also to return to that power which she had lost." (emphasis added).
The power which she has lost refers to the priesthood and keys being lost in the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.
Q- Is this the fulfillment of Isaiah 28:7-8 where Isaiah says the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink (money and power) and are out of the way, erring in vision, stumbling in judgment?
Isaiah 28:7-8-
But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment.
For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean."
A- Yes. All tables, or all authority in my church, to operate the church, are now non-operative from a spiritual leadership role.
Q- Who are the scornful men that rule this people, spoken of in Isaiah 28:14-15?
Isaiah 28:14-15-
"Wherefore hear the word of the Lord, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.
Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:"
A- These include the church leaders in the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. They have made a covenant with death, and with hell are they in agreement (verse 15). God will execute judgement (verse 17). This is all talking about the cleansing of my church through verse 19.
Isaiah 28:17-19-
"Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.
From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report."
At this time in my prayer, Heavenly Father spoke to me, while I was by the bluff, overlooking the lake at God's Loving Healing Center, looking north:
'Raphael, this that I have revealed to you is the current state of affairs in my church. The church will be set in order again by my prophet Joseph Smith who holds the keys and the rights to the kingdom of God on the earth. He will confer these keys again upon the next set of mortal men who will govern my Church of Christ on the earth. This will reset my church again in order as it was in the beginning (see Isaiah 1:26-27-
"And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.
Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.").'
Now that I have written all of this down, from my notes in my pocket journal, and from my musings, I have this to say: I am planning on writing all this down in the cover-up post, on my website. I don't know whether I will be asked to share it quite yet, but I do believe I will share it with some few people, at least whom God tells me.
I plan to keep attending sacrament meeting, and to still keep at arms length from my own ward, as I feel I am directed to do. I am going to continue to keep a low profile, in the LDS church and with friends and family. I will be careful what I say, and speak and share only with those I trust and have felt prompted to do so.
Later, after prayer at night:
I confirmed all of the above information in the domed room, in front of my Heavenly Parents. They listened intently to all I asked and shared, and I feel they graciously confirmed this reality of the cover-up and all of the dire consequences. They had soft eyes for me at the end, and asked me to stand and take their hands. We three rose up in the air and I saw us go through the western ceiling area out into the sky. I don't know what we did then. I feel content and satisfied in my report.
I felt to share this openly with my sister K, and to none else at this time. I felt I should complete this post now with these words."
See also Malachi 3:3.

Doctrine & Covenants 18:8
8 And now, marvel not that I have called him unto mine own purpose, which purpose is known in me; wherefore, if he shall be diligent in keeping my commandments he shall be blessed unto eternal life; and his name is Joseph.
190D6-198D13: "I then asked my Heavenly Father how it was, among all those who seek his face, that I was called to be his prophet, to establish the Church of the Firstborn, to build the New Jerusalem temple, and to administer the saving ordinance of the waters of separation to all of the elect? This seems so great to me!
Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, when any of our children come to us as have you, we will reveal ourselves to them. We are doing this more and more in these days, particularly as our elect are awakened in part because of the teachings they receive in our celestial realms at night. We reveal to each one our revelations, whatsoever we wish them to do, and any callings we may extend to them.
]We knew beforehand who of our children living on earth would seek us diligently as have you. We therefore chose those to be our leaders, to help the others who would follow them in coming unto us, their Gods.
You were one of the first ones, and therefore we came to you in your energy class in April, 2013. You had been seeking us diligently before that time. You are our fourth son, even Raphael, in this eternity. We sent you to earth at this time to do your work and to receive your commission while in the flesh. We have orchestrated all of this and the timing, so that you would be one of the first ones. We have brought a few of our other humble and open children along to support and sustain you, and to receive their own assignments and missions. These are those on your small email list.
I know you marvel and wonder at all of these events and happenings. Your calling is similar to that of Joseph Smith, in the very beginning of this new and final dispensation, when Jesus Christ, my Beloved Son, spoke through Joseph to Oliver Cowdery and David Whitmer in June 1829:
D&C 18:8
"And now, marvel not that I have called him unto mine own purpose, which purpose is known in me; wherefore, if he shall be diligent in keeping my commandments he shall be blessed unto eternal life; and his name is Joseph."
My word to you is to continue to be diligent, even as was Joseph, our servant in his day.
D&C 8:8
"Therefore, doubt not, for it is the gift of God; and you shall hold it in your hands, and do marvelous works; and no power shall be able to take it away out of your hands, for it is the work of God." '
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his assuring words and further explanations this morning. I thanked him for revealing himself to me, and for extending to me his will, my commission and calling. I said I would do even as he and Heavenly Mother ask and direct me."

Doctrine & Covenants 18:19
19 And if you have not faith, hope, and charity, you can do nothing.
95K2-95K9: "Heavenly Mother then spoke to me:
'Raphael, my son, your Father shared with you last night how important faith is in exercising our thoughts to act. We continue to exercise our faith continually in all of our actions. Faith is often described in the scriptures along with hope and charity:
D&C 18:19-
"And if you have not faith, hope, and charity, you can do nothing."
You understand how critical faith is to all action in intelligent beings, but what about hope? Hope has been described for the faithful by Nephi:
2 Nephi 31:20
"Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope and a love of God and of all men. . ."
Hope is centered in Christ, with anticipation of eternal life.
Alma 13:29-
"Having faith on the Lord; having a hope that ye shall receive eternal life; having the love of God always in your hearts, that ye may be lifted up at the last day and enter into his rest."
When our children are able to lay hold upon the idea that they may progress and live in a happy, eternal state, even in eternal life, this hope is very motivating to their desires to persist in the path towards eternal life. It is hope that propels them forward in faith to do what they need to do in order to attain eternal life. They act in small steps towards their overall objective, in exercising their faith, being motivated by hope.
I like the phrase "having a perfect brightness of hope", for this is how our faithful believe and act. If there were no hope in our children, they would have no motivation to persist in faith, and therefore would take no action. Hope, coupled with strong faith, always produces action and improvement when focused on works we direct our children to accomplish.
Even after we ordain our children to be Gods, and ordain them with power to act like we act, the new gods need to act in faith and hope. These two attributes continue to propel them forward in all their actions.
Raphael, you have hope that all of the promises we are telling you by revelation are true. You act in faith, riveted by the hope swelling in your heart that they are true. As you move forward and progress, one step closer at a time, you are encouraged and generate more hope and assurance that you are on the correct path that leads to your own exaltation. You believe and hope that you are acting in harmony with our will. We give you more and more light and love to continue to feed your faith and hope. Soon your hope becomes a perfect brightness of hope!
Even now, Raphael, I am filled with hope and assurance that you will be motivated to do all we encourage you to do. I see your faith and hope growing stronger with each day. This confirms my own hope that you will press forward and attain all we command and encourage you to do!
I also have great hope in our holy angels-all of them! I see them acting in faith and hope to accomplish such great actions, even as we reveal to them! I desire each to press forward in hope, acting in faith, even until they fulfill all of our commands!'
I thanked my loving Heavenly Mother for her encouraging words on hope! I told her that I am continually motivated by hope in being with them and my lovely wife and family in eternity and all the faithful. I am filled with joy and happiness that rewards my efforts!
She then pulled me forward to a standing position and then she lovingly embraced me! I felt her great love and acceptance of me! I felt her great hope and assurance I could and would be really able to do all that she and Heavenly Father asked of me! I too was filled with greater faith, hope and charity."

Doctrine & Covenants 19:1-12
1 I am Alpha and Omega, Christ the Lord; yea, even I am he, the beginning and the end, the Redeemer of the world.
2 I, having accomplished and finished the will of him whose I am, even the Father, concerning me having done this that I might subdue all things unto myself
3 Retaining all power, even to the destroying of Satan and his works at the end of the world, and the last great day of judgment, which I shall pass upon the inhabitants thereof, judging every man according to his works and the deeds which he hath done.
4 And surely every man must repent or suffer, for I, God, am endless.
5 Wherefore, I revoke not the judgments which I shall pass, but woes shall go forth, weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth, yea, to those who are found on my left hand.
6 Nevertheless, it is not written that there shall be no end to this torment, but it is written endless torment.
7 Again, it is written eternal damnation; wherefore it is more express than other scriptures, that it might work upon the hearts of the children of men, altogether for my names glory.
8 Wherefore, I will explain unto you this mystery, for it is meet unto you to know even as mine apostles.
9 I speak unto you that are chosen in this thing, even as one, that you may enter into my rest.
10 For, behold, the mystery of godliness, how great is it! For, behold, I am endless, and the punishment which is given from my hand is endless punishment, for Endless is my name. Wherefore
11 Eternal punishment is Gods punishment.
12 Endless punishment is Gods punishment.
50C16-50C19, from Heavenly Mother: "Q- If there is a new Christ born in the next eternity, how is the scripture true, found in Moses 1:29-33, where there are many lands called earth, created by the Son, with thy children inhabiting them?
Moses 1:29-33-
"And he beheld many lands; and each land was called earth, and there were inhabitants on the face thereof.
And it came to pass that Moses called upon God, saying: Tell me, I pray thee, why these things are so, and by what thou madest them?
And behold, the glory of the Lord was upon Moses, so that Moses stood in the presence of God, and talked with him face to face. And the Lord God said unto Moses: For mine own purpose have I made these things. Here is wisdom and it remaineth in me.
And by the word of my power, have I created them, which is mine Only Begotten Son, who is full of grace and truth.
And worlds without number have I created; and I also created them for mine own purpose; and by the Son I created them, which is mine Only Begotten."
A- Heavenly Mother asked me to write for her as she answered this question:
'Raphael, the earth upon which you stand, was created by the power of the Son, he having created this under the authority of both Heavenly Father and myself. This earth upon which you live, has housed, and will house for their mortal experience, all of those from your own eternity. An eternity is what we call a group of our spirit children who progress from their first estate, to their second estate, and then we judge and assign them to their stations at the end. When finished, and the salvation and progression of our children is completed, we begin a new eternity for a new group of spirit children that we will bear. We are endless, for that is one of our names.
Those children of ours in your eternity, who are exalted to become like us, will have a home base on your own future celestial earth. Your earth will return and remain near our own celestial orb, throughout all time and forever. There are worlds we create through the authority of our Son, Jesus Christ, to also contain our children who receive a kingdom of glory, in the telestial and terrestrial worlds. These worlds are many, and each will house these, our children who are resurrected souls, but who are not worthy of a celestial glory. These worlds are now being prepared for these our children. They will not reside near our celestial world, but will be further out in space, where our influence is not so strong.
The total number of worlds so prepared by our son Jesus Christ, for this eternity in which you live, are many, and are all within our current galaxy, all in various locations. The center of your own Milky Way Galaxy, is where our celestial kingdom is located, and other kingdoms of glory are at various distances from the center.
Our son, we have created all of the planets and stars of this, our galaxy, before your own eternity. I know it is hard for your mortal mind to comprehend the magnitude of our creations. We have had as many eternities as our galaxy is large, which is reflected in the billions of stars and planets that comprise our galaxy. As you may imagine, the number of our eternities we have created are very many already. Our works are endless.
Each eternity has its own Christ, which is also our firstborn spirit Son for that eternity. This spirit Son is the Messiah for those children of that eternity. This is a title and position for all of the eternities we have had. There have been many Messiahs. These worlds are without number to man, but they are all numbered unto us. This is what is meant by the scripture which states that there are worlds without number which were created by the Son.
As our children qualify for their own exaltation, they too may begin bearing spirit children in their own eternity. They will begin with a new celestial orb where they may begin their experience, as husband and wife, in their first eternity. They too will bear noble and great ones, who are spirits. These they will make their rulers, including their own Christ, archangels, angels, and all the hosts of their own posterity.
Thus the cycle of the salvation of man goes on, each in their own eternity. Each galaxy in the universe is the kingdom of one of these celestial couples who are in this process. They each have their home base earth from where they lived and had their eternal first home. When they eventually outgrow this home, they create their new celestial orb, which begins a new galaxy for their dwelling and kingdom.
Your Heavenly Father and I also have a first home on the earth where we each had our mortal experience. We too had seven children in our mortality as do you, born in our 2nd estate. These have gone on to their own kingdom of glories, some to their exaltation, where they repeat the pattern as we do. We often visit them, and our first celestial home planet, and our eternal friends there.
For all of these who are Gods now, the same general pattern exists.
There is also a group of all of our children who chose not to follow our plan of happiness, and these are assigned a place without glory. Their fate is described somewhat in D&C 19:1-12. There is always a group of our children who choose evil over good. These ultimately become the opposing force to the good, and play into the agency given to our children, in both of their estates of progression.
Raphael, I have briefly explained to you today the magnitude of our creations, and have given you a glimpse into our life, from eternity to eternity, without number. However, right now, your own eternity in which you live is the MOST important one to us! What happens with the choices of our current children of this eternity is where we focus our effort and energy. You are right in the midst of our most important work, in the individual salvation of each of our children!
We know we will be victorious in our plan, for we can see into the future, and have done this many times before. Our works are endless, and our power is endless. We will bless you and all our holy angels, in the great work before us. We love each of you so very much!'
Q- It seems that with so many eternities, and so many children in each eternity, that somehow the level of concern or love would diminish for just one more lost soul, of their children. Please elaborate.
A- The love of God never decreases for one of their children, regardless of how many children have proceeded them. The level of love is just as deep and strong for the very first child in the first eternity, as it is for the last children born of the current eternity. The amount of labor, planning and effort is always focused on the current eternity, and so it is now. Heavenly Father, Heavenly Mother and Jesus are all giving all that they currently have, to bring about the salvation of their children now living in their 1st and 2nd estates, those in the current eternity. It is as though the past eternities didn't exist, from a labor and focus standpoint."

Doctrine & Covenants 19:10
10 For, behold, the mystery of godliness, how great is it! For, behold, I am endless, and the punishment which is given from my hand is endless punishment, for Endless is my name.
102I1-102T2: "This morning I awoke refreshed and ready for a new day. I came to the circling waters and walked down stream to the top of the waterfall. I could see all the surrounding region, including the distant temple to the west. It was warm and pleasant outside, a stark difference from our winter in Utah.
I knelt next to the river looking over the waterfall to my left side. I asked for my Heavenly Parents to come. Then, from my right, Heavenly Father walked up to me! He was smiling and filled with light. He seemed very accepting of me. He stretched out one arm over the waterfall and spoke:
'Raphael, just as this water will continue to descend over the edge of this cliff, so surely shall our works continue, worlds without end. We are eternal and endless (see D&C 19:10 "For behold, the mystery of godliness, how great is it! For behold, I am endless"). Our works never end, but roll forth as steady as this waterfall."
50F4-50F26, from Heavenly Mother: "'Raphael, the mystery of Godliness, how great it is!
(See D&C 19:10 "For, behold, the mystery of godliness, how great is it!")
There was a time when the intelligences, that fill the immensity of space, were first organized. This was initiated by two intelligences who were more intelligent than all of the other intelligences. These two very astute and brilliant intelligences, organized themselves into the first man and first woman.
(See Abraham 3:18-19-". . . if there be two spirits, and one shall be more intelligent than the other, yet these two spirits, notwithstanding one is more intelligent than the other, have no beginning; they existed before, they shall have no end, they shall exist after, for they are gnolaum, or eternal. And the Lord said unto me: These two facts do exist, that there are two spirits, one being more intelligent than the other; there shall be another more intelligent than they; I am the Lord thy God, I am more intelligent than they all.").
They had discovered the key to combining elemental intelligence and matter into a living intelligence with agency and existence.
(See D&C 93:30 "All truth is independent in that sphere in which God has placed it, to act for itself, as all intelligence also; otherwise there is no existence".)
These two intelligences had the support of all the other intelligences, because of their goodness and their superior intelligence, or knowledge that they had gained up to that point. This intelligence, or the light of truth, is the basic building element upon which all things are formed and from which they are created.
(See D&C 93:29 "Man was also in the beginning with God. Intelligence, or the light of truth, was not created or made, neither indeed can be.").
This elemental intelligence was combined with matter to create life, using the key to creation that these two intelligences had discovered.
Once these two intelligences became organized as the first man and woman, they gained the support of the other elemental intelligences in their new creation as living beings. The design and creation of man came from these two most intelligent beings. The others supported them in their skill and ability to organize their own two elemental intelligences and matter into themselves, as living intelligent beings. Man and woman were the first creation, in the spirit form, from this raw elemental intelligence and matter. They called themselves God.
Unlike the doctrine of Satan, which states that the lowest form of life was somehow instantaneously created in the beginning, in reality, the very most complex form of life was first created by the most brilliant of the intelligences.
These two human spirits then created a way for themselves to multiply offspring from the same abundant, unorganized intelligence and matter from which they themselves were created. They began multiplying, and having spirit children who looked just like them.
Once these two intelligent spirit Godly beings found the secret of creating, or organizing life, they then counseled together, and designed other forms of life. This is what we now know as plant and animal life, to support their plan for creating a peaceful and happy world. These other forms also were created or organized from the same elemental intelligence and matter, and were all created in the spirit realm. These two Gods designed in each life form, a way also for these to be reproduced independent of themselves.
They had created, therefore, a world in the spirit realm, which was a refined state of matter and life. However, they soon realized there was another state of creation, in a less-refined state of existence. This they named the physical state.
Now the first man and woman God realized that they could create life in a spirit state and a physical state. The first man and woman God then decided to be recreated in this physical state also. They became the first man and first woman in the physical state, and the first life in the physical realm of creation too.
They counseled together, and then created the 1st estate of man to be in the spirit state, and then the 2nd estate of man to be in the physical state. They devised a plan for progression in these two states of man for their spirit children. The plan culminated in the spirit and physical states of man to be eternally joined together, which they called the resurrection. They too became the first resurrected man and resurrected woman, and received what is now called a fulness of joy.
(See D&C 138:17 "Their sleeping dust was to be restored unto its perfect frame, bone to his bone, and the sinews and the flesh upon them, the spirit and the body to be united never again to be divided, that they might receive a fulness of joy." and D&C 93:33 "For man is spirit. The elements are eternal, and spirit and element, inseparably connected, receive a fulness of joy").
After having gone through these first two estates of man themselves, and then being resurrected themselves, they devised the entire progression and testing plan for their posterity, who were still in their spirit state.
The plan of progression required a dwelling place on which their offspring would dwell during their 1st estate, and an earth for them to dwell on during their 2nd estate. Then they chose two of their most favored offspring spirits to become the first physical man and woman on this new physical earth. They devised that this man and woman would also be able to have offspring on this earth that they, their parent creators, had previously bore as spirits. They watched carefully, and made sure all was going according to their plan.
They had also previously created laws for them to justly govern, and for the interaction of all of their creations. They created an environment for their children to choose between morally right or wrong choices, in accordance with these laws. They realized that each of their children would need to be able to choose for themselves in being obedient to their laws. This then created a need for a Messiah of their own posterity, who would be born as a mortal child. He would have extra Godly powers, and be required to live a completely obedient life to their laws, then suffer, bleed and die on the physical earth for all those who would break those laws. His suffering would allow those who repent and then obey the laws of God, to be forgiven, based on his mercy. All the unassigned intelligences in the universe agreed with their plan, because it was just and fair, according to their law of justice.
At this point, they already had much spirit posterity, and realized some would follow their plan more than others, and that there needed to be gradations of eternal reward. Some would be resurrected to a celestial reward like themselves, some to a terrestrial reward, and some to a telestial reward. These three divisions seemed the most appropriate and fair.
There was also some of their offspring who would rebel against their plan. These had to be accommodated, and were given a final kingdom of no glory, for that is what they chose and deserved.
Thus, the first male and female human beings, named God, created a plan and system of procreation and progression. They found the greatest happiness in their resurrected, celestial state, was when they cared for and blessed their posterity to become like them in eternity, in a forever state.
This is how the Gods were created, and the first creation was established at the center of what they called the universe. As eternities passed, this universe expanded with worlds created by the Gods. The offspring of these first Gods followed the same pattern of creation that they were taught by their first parents. There is much more, but basically this is how the Gods began!
Your Heavenly Father and I have followed in the same footsteps of our very first parents who created this entire plan of salvation for their offspring. We too have been given the knowledge of the key of creation, for we are of the family of the Gods. You are our offspring, Raphael, as well as all mankind who inhabit your earth at this time, and who have ever lived on it or will live on it since the days of Adam and Eve. Our plan of happiness has been refined, and since proven very effective over multiple times, by our many ancestor Gods, by ourselves, and by our posterity who are Gods. We are so extremely happy in this life that we have chosen, to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of our beloved children-as much as each of them choose to accept. It is a flawless and wonderful method in the progression of our children!'"

Doctrine & Covenants 19:15-20
15 Therefore I command you to repent, repent, lest I smite you by the rod of my mouth, and by my wrath, and by my anger, and your sufferings be sore, how sore you know not, how exquisite you know not, yea, how hard to bear you know not.
16 For behold, I, God, have suffered these things for all, that they might not suffer if they would repent;
17 But if they would not repent they must suffer even as I;
18 Which suffering caused myself, even God, the greatest of all, to tremble because of pain, and to bleed at every pore, and to suffer both body and spirit, and would that I might not drink the bitter cup, and shrink
19 Nevertheless, glory be to the Father, and I partook and finished my preparations unto the children of men.
20 Wherefore, I command you again to repent, lest I humble you with my almighty power; and that you confess your sins, lest you suffer these punishments of which I have spoken, of which in the smallest, yea, even in the least degree you have tasted at the time I withdrew my Spirit.
125G24-125H12: "Heavenly Mother came with Jesus Christ, both coming from the east and then stood in the air in front of me! They were both glowing in abundant light and were both smiling. Jesus Christ was holding a book in his arms.
Heavenly Mother then spoke: 'Raphael, I have brought your Savior and Redeemer, Jesus Christ, with me tonight. He has brought with him one of the Books of the Laws of God. This volume has a list of the types of sins that restrict entry into the celestial realms where God lives. The list is for the celestial entry requirements are more restrictive than for entry into the terrestrial or telestial realms. Each sin has listed an amount of suffering required for the sin to be forgiven, or for the law to be satisfied. Those sins of a more severe nature require more payment or suffering to have them satisfied, or remitted. The levels of suffering are described and are to be understood only by the gods to whom this book is given. The couple god parents of their own children use the Book of the Laws of God to determine how much suffering their chosen Redeemer must suffer to atone for those sins. If these sufferings of the Redeemer are not accepted by the sinner, then he or she may not enter into the celestial, terrestrial or telestial worlds. The suffering then would be endured by the sinner, but still they would not be able to be cleansed and made holy without a Redeemer, a requirement to enter into these worlds.
Jesus then spoke to me: 'Raphael, without me, all of God's children for this eternity would be forever lost and not able of themselves to return to their Heavenly Parents' presence, for this would not be allowed by the laws of God. The laws of God require full payment for sin and then that the sinner be cleansed and made holy in order to return into the presence of God.
One exception to this is when I, their Redeemer, quicken them temporarily to come to the judgment bar of God in the celestial world. Once they are judged, they are escorted to their final destination of a lower glory. They receive a resurrection freely given on my merits as their Redeemer, but are not fully cleansed to a higher level since they are going to a lower spiritual realm. They each acknowledge that I am their Redeemer, but have not taken the necessary steps to receive full forgiveness of their sins from me. They therefore need to pay for the required suffering for their own sins as given in this Book of the Laws of God, for the telestial or terrestrial glory they are being sent to.
Once they have suffered for their own sins and are resurrected, I cleanse them to the level required for entry into the telestial or terrestrial glory. This cleansing is a lower amount than given to the celestial, for the celestial have fully repented and come unto me, their Savior. I have suffered for their accumulated sins so they don't need to suffer like the telestial and terrestrial will suffer.'
H. R's Personal Journal Entry, June 20, 2019, Thursday
My prayer continued this morning and took up where I had left the night before. Jesus then opened the book in his hands. He asked me to step forward in space above the great rocky hole in the ground under him. I stood and walked up to him in the air and looked upon the book he had opened.
He spoke again: 'Raphael, this page shows the sin of adultery and gives the amount of suffering required to pay for this sin for entry into the celestial world, a lower amount of suffering required for entry into the terrestrial world, and finally the lowest amount of suffering required for entry into the telestial world. There is also a description of what the sin consists of. Once the sin is forgiven for the sinner after he or she, or I pay for the sin through suffering, then I cleanse the sinner for entry to whatever spiritual realm they are assigned. Those who receive a celestial glory are cleansed by my power and made holy to a celestial level, for these are of the celestial nature and are most comfortable living in the celestial realms of glory.
Those who receive either a terrestrial or telestial glory are cleansed by me to the level required for entry into that glory. Therefore for instance, all of the terrestrial are cleansed to a terrestrial glory and will have individually paid the price for their own sins. My sufferings for them will not have been fully accepted, for they never came to me with full repentance or in deep humility and obedience. They therefore need to pay for their own sins, for that is what the Book of the Laws of God states. Lower amounts of suffering are required for the sinner who is of the telestial nature, for their kingdom is of a lower level of glory than the terrestrial or celestial. Those of a telestial glory are also not cleansed to a higher level required for the higher spiritual spheres.
The sufferings are endured by both the telestial and terrestrial, mostly in the spirit world after their death. If they don't fully repent, even in that spirit world where it is fully given to them, nor accept me as their Redeemer so that I may have my previous sufferings accepted for them, and also that I may cleanse them, then they need to suffer themselves without my assistance.
D&C 19:15-20
"Therefore, I command you to repent-repent, lest I smite you by the rod of my mouth, and by my wrath, and by my anger, and your sufferings be sore-how sore you know not, how exquisite you know not, yea, how hard to bear you know not.
For behold, I, God, have suffered these things for all, that they might not suffer if they would repent;
But if they would not repent they must suffer even as I;
Which suffering caused myself, even God, the greatest of all, to tremble because of pain, and to bleed at every pore, and to suffer both body and spirit-and would that I might not drink the bitter cup, and shrink-
Nevertheless, glory be to the Father, and I partook and finished my preparations unto the children of men.
Wherefore, I command you again to repent, lest I humble you with my almighty power; and that you confess your sins, lest you suffer these punishments of which I have spoken, of which in the smallest, ye, even in the least degree you have tasted at the time I withdrew my Spirit."
Also, Alma 11:40-41
"And he shall come into the world to redeem his people; and he shall take upon the transgressions of those who believe on his name; and these are they that shall have eternal life, and salvation cometh to none else.
Therefore the wicked remain as though there had been no redemption made, except it be the loosing of the bands of death; for behold, the day cometh that all shall rise from the dead and stand before God and be judged according to their works."
Raphael, for God's children who do not repent, I have wasted my suffering for them, and they need to suffer. This causes me to be full of anger and wrath for the unrepentant, and is likened to me smiting them with the rod of my mouth (see D&C 19:15). At the same time that I am full of wrath, I am also full of compassion for them, and wonder why they won't repent and come unto me, their Redeemer, and receive fully my gift that I freely offer to them? I therefore need to obey the Book of the Laws of God, for we who are Gods have covenanted to obey these laws.
Alma 42:13
"Therefore, according to justice, the plan of redemption could not be brought about, only on conditions of repentance of men in this probationary state, yea, this preparatory state; for except it were for these conditions, mercy could not take effect except it should destroy the work of justice. Now the work of justice could not be destroyed; if so, God would cease to be God."
Raphael, our Heavenly Mother and I have come with you to this deep pit below us, filled with jagged rocks and a steep slope. This is representative of the sufferings that I already paid, or that those who don't accept my sufferings for them will pay, for the accumulated sins of their lives. These sins all need to be paid for, according to the requirements of this book I have opened before you, in order for them to be received into a kingdom of glory. Once the payment for their accumulated sins are all fully paid, for their respective telestial, terrestrial or celestial glory, I then will freely cleanse them from their sins and bring them to their respective glory, either telestial, terrestrial or celestial. They may then be admitted into their chosen kingdom of glory and dwell there, worlds without end.'
I looked down at the treacherous hole below us, with the river representing Jesus Christ crashing into it. I felt the mist of water from this crashing water. I then was overwhelmed with gratitude that Jesus Christ, who stood before me, had already suffered for my accumulated sins! I knelt in the air in front of him and thanked him for forgiving me of my many sins and for cleansing me!
He closed the book and pulled me close to him with his free arm. I felt his deep love and Spirit come upon me. I feel so very blessed! I also thanked my Heavenly Mother to have come and brought Jesus and the book he showed to me. Both smiled at me and then my vision ended.
I asked in my heart if I had correctly recorded the words of this revelation given to me last night and this morning? The words of my Heavenly Mother, the Holy Ghost, came to my mind with power: 'Raphael, you have recorded correctly the words of Jesus Christ, my Beloved Son, and me in your journal. I will witness to the humble of this truth if they ask of me for a witness from me, if they ask in humility and humbleness of heart.'"
181J2-181J9: "I came this Christmas Eve to the throne room on the top floor of God's celestial temple. Heavenly Father was standing next to his throne in front of me. He asked me to approach him closer so that I could see his face more clearly and hear his voice. I stood about six feet before him. He then spoke: 'Raphael, we knew that some of our innocent little ones who would come to earth would suffer great abuse even at the hands of their parents or others who would capture and traffic them to evil and conspiring men and women. This has happened throughout the centuries, but in your modern day is far more voluminous because of the number of abortions and evil sophisticated human trafficking rings. We comfort these children when they are slain, and provide healing to their souls. Many of them will be brought forth in the first resurrection, and raised to adulthood by accepting, loving resurrected parents. Many will also be received into the Church of the Firstborn and will receive their initial ordinances from you and Oriphiel. All injustices will be corrected and made whole in their lives.
We send forth our light of Christ to all in the world. Those who reject this, and sear their conscience, by acting in evil ways, will be held responsible for their actions. In the day of judgment, those whom they killed or hurt in any way, and for which they did not severely repent, will be brought to stand at this judgment bar. The innocent will be brought to witness against them, and condemn their heinous actions. We will thereby correct all the injustices that were committed in mortality, and reward the good and punish the evil. Those who are evil will suffer the wrath of hell, and be subjected to the confinement of spirit prison during the duration of the millennium. Most of these abusers and evil ones will end up in the telestial kingdom as spoken of in D&C 76: 81-85.
"And again, we saw the glory of the telestial, which glory is that of the lesser, even as the glory of the stars differs from that of the glory of the moon in the firmament.
These are they who deny not the Holy Spirit.
These are they who are thrust down to hell.
These are they who shall not be redeemed from the devil until the last resurrection, until the Lord, even Christ the Lamb, shall have finished his work."
I asked my Father about those who specifically murdered innocent children. I said I knew the scripture in D&C 42:18 that "he that kills shall not have forgiveness." I wondered if they would even be forgiven.
Heavenly Father spoke: 'These will be thrust down to hell and suffer. They will be subjected to the devils, even in that portion of the spirit world where the devils may still have influence. Lucifer himself will be confined in the chains you secure him in, in the bottomless pit, but other demons and devils will still have access to that portion of the spirit prison where these murderers shall be thrust and confined. Those who have murdered will be subjected to these evil ones during their confinement for the entire period of the millennium. They will not be redeemed until they have paid for their own sins by the sufferings they will endure. They will at last be redeemed by Jesus Christ at the last resurrection. He will not have suffered for their sins of killing but they will have suffered sufficiently by that time. They will thus be finally redeemed and granted a degree of glory in eternity, even in the telestial worlds.'
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his clarifying words. I still wondered how these wicked ones would suffer for their own sins and have it be sufficient to pay for their evil deeds.
I then recalled the scripture in D&C 19: 15-17, 20
"Therefore I command you to repent-repent, lest I smite you by the rod of my mouth, and by my wrath, and by my anger, and your sufferings be sore-how sore you know not, how exquisite you know not, yea, how hard to bear you know not.
For behold, I, God, have suffered these things for all, that they might not suffer if they would repent;
But if they would not repent they must suffer even as I;
...Wherefore, I command you again to repent, lest I humble you with my almighty power; and that you confess your sins, lest you suffer these punishments of which I have spoken of which in the smallest, yea, even in the least degree you have tasted at the time I withdrew my Spirit."
I knew that these murderers would have to suffer, for they would not be forgiven by Christ, but suffer for this sin themselves in hell. At the end of their sufferings, they would finally be redeemed and receive a degree of glory, unless they become a son or daughter of perdition. In that latter case, they would have the same terrible eternal consequence as the unrepentant devils and demons, and even as Lucifer himself.
The wicked who murder may not be forgiven and cleansed by Jesus Christ, but they will suffer the consequences of these sins themselves. They will finally be redeemed and resurrected at the last resurrection, even that of the telestial."
125C11-125C33: "Heavenly Mother spoke again: 'Raphael, we have chosen to stop the present moment for a bit while I talked to you. We may do this from our higher celestial realm. Everyone in this Great Assembly Hall remains in their moveless state that they are in. We may remain in this stopped state for as long as we wish.'
I observed that my three Gods before me were moving and acting as normal, whereas those in the room, including myself at the podium, were still and seemed 'frozen' and didn't move. I came to my own self at the podium and was also frozen in my thoughts it seemed! I could instantly perceive the thoughts in my mind at the podium and then my mind in the upper celestial sphere that was active and thinking normally.
Heavenly Mother turned to Jesus Christ who then spoke: 'Raphael, we have brought you here into our upper celestial sphere today to experience what we as gods may do in stopping the present. I also want to explain to you in detail about my suffering for the sins of mankind. Time as you know it in the celestial and lower spheres may be momentarily stopped by us who are gods and who act in our upper celestial sphere.
When I was on the cross, suffering for the sins of mankind and for you, I was replicated from myself in the mortal earth to myself in these upper celestial realms. I was multiplied many times over in this highest realm. I went to each person on the earth, in the spirit world around the earth, in the premortal earth, and even to the evil hosts of Satan on the earth. These were all those who were the children of our Heavenly Parents. I went to each one who was 'frozen' in time.
As I approached you in your domed room, now in God's Loving Healing Center, you were very aware that I was suffering on the earth. You were in a meditative and saddened state, seeing me, your older brother in the spirit, suffer and tremble on the cross from the pains of my mortal death, but especially from the pains for sin I was experiencing in the higher celestial realm.
I came to you in the domed room and stood before you. I was not visible to you, for I was in the higher celestial realm and you were in the celestial realm. I looked upon you and saw, in my godly powers of hindsight and foresight, your very existence from the beginning when you were first born to our Heavenly Mother, to your final time of becoming a god on our celestial earth! I saw your entire life in every phase of your living, in all your states of probation and progression. I perceived your thoughts, desires and actions in every part of this journey from a spirit baby to an exalted man!
I then went back in time and for each moment you committed a sin, by your thoughts, desires and actions, that would have prevented you from dwelling in our presence, and took upon me the required suffering that the law of justice required that I suffer for that sin or weakness in order for that sin to be fully forgiven and erased. I gathered all of these amounts of sufferings together, by my power of being a god and a Redeemer, and then confirmed with my Heavenly Father or Heavenly Mother that this was enough suffering to make you clean from the sins you had or would ever have. When confirmed, I then agreed in my mind to suffer the accumulated intense pain of the required payment for your sins! I suffered in this higher celestial world, where no one saw me suffer except my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother. They perceived my sufferings, but did not rescue me from my pain, for I suffered alone. I chose to suffer because I loved you, Raphael.'
I then came to my knees and cried to my Savior, 'Oh I thank you my cherished Redeemer, to have suffered and atoned for my sins and weaknesses!' I was crying and very emotional, for I too could see Jesus suffering for me directly, back when he suffered for me in the domed room in the higher celestial sphere!
Jesus smiled on me and spoke again: 'Raphael, I suffered for your sins since I loved you. When I had fully suffered for you I then stepped forward and embraced you while you were kneeling in the domed room. You were in the attitude of meditative prayer at the time I suffered for you, Raphael! You did not see or feel me embrace you, for I was still in the higher celestial realm.
I repeated these same steps for every son and daughter of our Heavenly Parents! They each were in various states of progression. Many knew that this was the moment of my suffering and were deep in thought, praying in their hearts for me, as were you praying for me.
Others who were in their mortal state or were in sin had no idea of the suffering I would be doing for them. Nevertheless, I suffered for each one from the higher celestial sphere, just like I described to you that I suffered for you.
The entire time I suffered in the Garden of Gethsemane, and later on the cross, was the period that I suffered in the higher celestial realm in my replicated spirits. I replicated myself many millions of times, for each period of suffering took finite moments for me to suffer.
The accumulation of my pain was also felt in my mortal body on the earth. I had been given previously a full awareness of my conscious and unconscious mind and so I could perceive all that was happening, even while I was suffering in all of my replicated states. My mind and heart on earth were synched and drawn out together in love for my fellow brothers and sisters! The pain was so severe that I bled from every pore in my mortal body on the earth.'
D&C 19:16-19
"For behold, I, God, have suffered these things for all, that they might not suffer if they would repent;
But if they would not repent, they must suffer even as I;
Which suffering caused myself, even God, the greatest of all, to tremble because of pain, and to bleed at every pore, and to suffer both body and spirit-and would that I might not drink the bitter cup, and shrink-
Nevertheless, glory be to the Father, and I partook and finished my preparations unto the children of men."
I thus suffered for the few hours in the Garden and later on the cross. In the higher celestial realms, I suffered for many long periods until all was completed, and I had suffered for all! I suffered in multiple phases, for I had stopped time for each of these phases. When my suffering was complete for one phase, I was filled again with light from both my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother and rested for a short moment. I then started time again on earth and then stopped it in the higher celestial realm again as I entered into the next phase of suffering. There were a total of 700 phases of suffering. This was given me of the Father to thus break down the total suffering into shorter suffering phases. I could then see the progress I made as I suffered through each phase.
The number of phases was significant too. Seven is a godly number and signifies in heaven completeness and one hundred signifies all. Therefore, seven times one hundred signifies all is completed. I uttered, "it is finished" (see John 19:30) when I had completed suffering the last of the 700 phases of suffering. I then voluntarily died on the cross for all mankind, having fully completed all that my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother had ordained me to do with regards to suffering for the sins of all of mankind.
At that moment, just before I gave up the ghost and my spirit was released from my physical body on the earth, I met again with both of my loving Heavenly Parents in our higher celestial realms. The suffering was all completed, and no one knew it except us three gods. I then was embraced first by my Heavenly Mother and then by my Heavenly Father. We were all crying for joy at this momentous occasion! They infused again in me their light to an exceedingly high amount and comforted and bless me, their Beloved Son!
I then died on earth and my spirit entered into the world of the spirits as is recorded in D&C 138:18.'
I was still on my knees before my Savior, Jesus Christ and my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother. I thanked Jesus profusely for his love in suffering for me, a Son of God, and for cleansing me from all sin! I thanked them all for bringing me before them for this experience.
Heavenly Father then spoke:
'Raphael, what your Great Redeemer, Jesus Christ, has shared with you is true. Go now down to our very beloved celestial angels and servants and read to them the account in your journal that you have just written! This will be the only address of this meeting. After your talk, then introduce our Beloved Son to them. He will appear in glory and light, coming from our position here. He will then descend to all of you and minister to you here, in the celestial realm in this Great Assembly Hall.
The manner and details of Christ's suffering have never before been revealed to mankind until now. We wish our faithful servants to be the first to receive these wonderful truths!'
I thanked my Father and said I would do so now. I came into my replicated being at the podium and delivered my address on the great atonement of Jesus Christ. I read exactly from my journal to the previous paragraph above. I then introduced Jesus Christ, after first asking that we all come on bended knee before him.
Jesus then appeared before us in glory. He came to each one in the vast congregation and embraced them and spoke to them. It all seemed but a short moment. He then charged us to teach these truths to the faithful, even as the Spirit of God would inspire us to share and when to share.
While I am writing this, I felt overcome with emotion, crying with large breaths between. I am so, so grateful for my Redeemer, Jesus Christ, and for his revelation to me today!"

Doctrine & Covenants 19:22
22 For they cannot bear meat now, but milk they must receive; wherefore, they must not know these things, lest they perish.
187K13-187K16, from Heavenly Mother: "Raphael, as I or Heavenly Father speak to our children on earth, we may vary the way we speak to each one. Sometimes our style or use of words may differ, depending to whom we speak. You do this also, when addressing one child, or neighbor, or your spouse, all of these you address differently. Some you speak more formally to, others you are more intimate with, and still others can't bear heavy conversations, but must get "milk instead of meat" from a conversational standpoint.
D&C 19:22
"For they cannot bear meat now, but milk they must receive; wherefore, they must not know these things, lest they perish." (see also 1 Corinthians 3:2-3, D&C 50:40).
Likewise, we speak differently to you than even to your sister Rachael (K), and to others. However, when they record our words, our styles to them generally remain the same. These styles are usually distinguishable from the normal form of their own speech. We use words that they know, but speak in a recognizable manner.
One final word in confirmation of what your Heavenly Father spoke to you this morning-we purposefully give our words of prophecy in particular ways that we know will be fulfilled, but at the same time will test and try our children. Your small group is no exception, for we say things to you to help them learn to drop their expectations, and to develop a wait and see attitude, trusting in us, their Gods. This is as we like our children to act. We want them to be open and malleable in how they perceive our words will be fulfilled. When these words finally come to pass, we want our children to be so grateful, and not to be disappointed from some preconceived way in which they thought that our words would be fulfilled. We want them to truly wait in patience and faith upon us, their Gods.'"

Doctrine & Covenants 19:23
23 Learn of me, and listen to my words; walk in the meekness of my Spirit, and you shall have peace in me.
104G3-104G10, from Heavenly Mother: "'Raphael, when you pray to us, your God, the exact configuration of your body is not nearly as important as your attitude, faith in us, and your humility and openness. These attributes are all important. How may we share with you our revelations if you don't believe you will receive or if you are not in a mental state to receive from us?
Your posture during prayers should show deference to us, your humility and openness. You may pray in many postures like standing, sitting, kneeling or even prostrate on the ground. These positions may all be coupled with the inner attitude of humility, openness and gratitude. Whether you uplift your hands above your head or not, or whether your hands are open before you, or whether they are clasped or folded is not usually so important. Sometimes we may ask for a particular posture like in a temple ceremony or ordinance, but for daily personal prayer, it isn't so important. Again, your faithful attitude, your desire to commune with us, and your openness are the more important issues. You may have a prayer in your heart also during your regular activities of the day. We hear or perceive the thoughts and feelings of your heart and mind, so when you direct these to us, this becomes a prayer to us.
We desire prayer to be a real back and forth communion with us, between you, our child on earth, and us, who dwell in the celestial realms. We hear all sincere prayers to us from our children in their fallen state or in a state where they are redeemed and brought back into our presence, through the merits of Jesus Christ. We desire to whisper to each one our will so that we may gently guide them in their life and bring them back into our presence.
Many times our faithful children cannot hear us in their prayers. This is because they are not yet in tune to our voice, or do not recognize our voice. They may be so preoccupied with their fallen state or surroundings that they don't consciously hear our voice. We usually give them our words in their thoughts in their minds and in the feelings of their hearts. We also speak to their unconscious minds, that which has a veil of forgetfulness over it, unless they are able to hear us in their meditative and quite states. If they don't know this, they may entirely miss our attempts to communicate with them. They often mistake their own thoughts and feelings as their own imaginations and not our own thoughts and feelings we communicate to them.
One of the sure ways our children may recognize our voice is that we speak love and peace to their souls. (see Alma 40:12 and D&C 6:23). Our love and peace resonate with our faithful children and they may thereby know that we are speaking to them, and that this voice is not themselves or of a false spirit.
If our children obey our commandments, we will fill them with peace and assurance.
D&C 19:23
"Learn of me, and listen to my words; walk in the meekness of my Spirit, and you shall have peace in me."
Raphael, we have been very pleased with your efforts to set aside time in the morning and evening for us. You have been diligently doing this now for years. We have therefore gradually led you, prayer by prayer, even until you are now able to quickly come into our presence when you pray. We have poured out upon you our revelations in abundance. We have filled you with our love, light and peace. We will do this same thing for everyone of our children who are on earth, gradually leading them as we now lead you.
When you were in your premortal life before coming to earth, we spoke to you with our thought transfers, face to face. This was the highest form of communion, for all of your faculties in your mind and heart were fully activated and readily accessible to you.
However, in your mortal telestial state, we have placed a veil over your unconscious mind and heart. You need to struggle with this veil in order to hear and feel our words in the same way as in your premortal state. In this struggle, however, you show to us your diligence and true desire to be close to us and to really commune with us. The thoughts and feelings we give to your heart and mind are much more difficult to clearly hear, but with your faithful effort you may hear them all. This is all part of our mortal test in the fallen world.
I have shared with you today my thoughts about prayer, or communication, with God. We desire that all of our children seek us faithfully. We will patiently and gently guide them to us. Oh, we love our children so very much! We will always respond to every effort they make to come to us and commune with us in prayer.'
I looked into the compassionate and loving eyes of my Heavenly Mother! I thanked her deeply for sharing her revelation on prayer with me! I feel so enlightened and full of peace while I am with her! She extended her hand and touched my head. She smiled and was instantly gone from my presence."

Doctrine & Covenants 20:15
15 But those who harden their hearts in unbelief, and reject it, it shall turn to their own condemnation
63E10-63E13, from Heavenly Father: "We require the humble, open heart and mind of our children. We desire to connect to them and to lead them gently along as we have you and these mortal angels who sustain you.
Speaking of our revelations:
"But those who harden their hearts in unbelief, and reject it, it shall turn to their own condemnation." (D&C 20:15)
This condemnation has brought the whole church under condemnation:
"And this condemnation resteth upon the children of Zion, even all. And they shall remain under this condemnation until they repent and remember the new covenant, even the Book of Mormon, and the former commandments which I have given them, not only to say but to do according to that which I have written-that they may bring forth fruit meet for their Father's kingdom; otherwise there remaineth a scourge and judgment to be poured out upon the children of Zion. For shall the children of the kingdom pollute my holy land? Verily, I say unto you, nay." (D&C 84: 55-59)'
I could tell that my Father and Mother were very firm in what they said. They are displeased with these attitudes that are being taught. I thanked them for their clear direction and the strength of their answers this morning.
I was ready now to start my day. I then felt to kneel down again from writing in the chair in my journal. I saw then the 'hot displeasure look' on the faces of my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother! I had somehow stirred up in them perhaps a subject that greatly displeased them. They were both looking beyond me to those members of the LDS church who were rejecting their revelations and who were in condemnation before them! I then felt this in my mind: "Woe to those who are condemned before God!" This is the condemnation of God! I prayed then for those good people in the LDS church who have been lulled away in carnal security because of false teachings. These are the ones whom God will scourge and who are under the judgment of God!"

Doctrine & Covenants 20:45
45 The elders are to conduct the meetings as they are led by the Holy Ghost, according to the commandments and revelations of God.
143C11-143C21, from Heavenly Father: "'Raphael, I have brought you into our temple, into one of our chapels here tonight. The chapels on earth and in heaven are where our children meet for instruction, to receive the sacrament and make covenants, and to receive personal revelation from us, their Gods. We often send our Holy Spirit and Holy Ghost to dwell in the hearts of our humble and open children who come to worship us in our chapels.
You attend sacrament meeting each Sunday in an LDS chapel. Were the leaders and those who speak to be moved upon by our Spirit, you would be enlightened and receive personal revelation, for you are humble and open. However, they are now usually not inspired, you do not feel our Spirit in these meetings.
We will have the future Church of Christ build chapels where our saints will meet weekly, or as often as they need. The Nephites, who had established a Zion society, used their chapels and meeting places in this manner:
Moroni 6:9-"And their meetings were conducted by the church after the manner of the workings of the Spirit, and by the power of the Holy Ghost; for as the power of the Holy Ghost led them whether to preach, or to exhort, or to pray, or to supplicate, or to sing, even so it was done."
D&C 20:45-"The elders are to conduct the meetings as they are led by the Holy Ghost, according to the commandments and revelations of God."
We are pleased when our saints feel inspired by us their Gods on what to instruct, preach and expound to their congregations in the Church of Christ. As they respond to our promptings, and are humble and open, we will inspire them to share our words with the people. We will witness of all truth to those who in like manner receive their words by our Spirit. They then may all be edified and instructed by us, even though we may usually not be seen as present in the meetings.
"Remember that that which cometh from above is sacred, and must be spoken with care, and by constraint of the Spirit; and in this there is no condemnation, and ye receive the Spirit through prayer; wherefore, without this there remaineth condemnation." (D&C 63:64)
Also: "And they shall observe the covenants and church articles to do them, and these shall be their teachings, as they shall be directed by the Spirit.
And the Spirit shall be given unto you by the prayer of faith; and if ye receive not the Spirit ye shall not teach." (D&C 42:13-14).
If one is assigned to speak, and they are not moved upon by the Spirit, it would be far better for them not to speak, but defer to another who has the Spirit and is led to speak by our Spirit. We are not pleased when those who speak are not led by our Spirit, or who lean upon their own views and understandings. We would that all who come to the meetings in their chapels or other places, to come in humility and a worshipful attitude.
D&C 6:32-"Verily, verily, I say unto you, as I said unto my disciples, where two or three are gathered together in my name, as touching one thing, behold, there will I be in the midst of them, even so am I in the midst of you."
Raphael, we want to strengthen and buoy up our humble and open believers with our word. We want them to be gathered and fed by inspired men and women, all according to the gifts and blessings of our Holy Ghost and Holy Spirit. We wish that each time they meet they learn and grow in the Spirit."

Doctrine & Covenants 21:1-4
1 Behold, there shall be a record kept among you; and in it thou shalt be called a seer, a translator, a prophet, an apostle of Jesus Christ, an elder of the church through the will of God the Father, and the grace of your Lord Jesus Christ,
2 Being inspired of the Holy Ghost to lay the foundation thereof, and to build it up unto the most holy faith.
3 Which church was organized and established in the year of your Lord eighteen hundred and thirty, in the fourth month, and on the sixth day of the month which is called April.
4 Wherefore, meaning the church, thou shalt give heed unto all his words and commandments which he shall give unto you as he receiveth them, walking in all holiness before me;
182K4-182K8, from Jesus Christ: "I gazed into his compassionate and very loving eternity eyes! There was so much peace and acceptance about my Savior! He then reached over and touched my shoulder as he spoke: 'Raphael, each of our realms have different laws and practices. When the earth elevates from the telestial realm to the terrestrial realm, there will be changes in the sacrament prayers that we prescribe. You have correctly recorded in your journal the words of our Heavenly Father that he spoke to you last night. He changed the wording of the prayers on the bread and wine that are recorded in your telestial scriptures. This change encourages those who covenant with the Father to now include a promise to always remember their Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother, and to keep his and Heavenly Mother's commandments. Our Heavenly Parents will then send to the covenanting member their Spirit. They will bless them more directly with their presence, uplifting and pointing their minds to the higher celestial realm where they may see their faces and enter into their presence.
Some may feel that this change diminishes my own relationship with God's children. However, the individuals who sincerely make and keep their covenants weekly at the sacrament only become close to me, for the Father, the Mother and I are one in purpose. We will all love them and continue to guide them into the celestial realms where they may behold and commune with each of us, their Gods.
My revelation to Joseph Smith in 1830, that you may read in D&C 27:1-4:
"Listen to the voice of Jesus Christ, Lord, your God, and your Redeemer, whose word is quick and powerful.
For, behold, I say unto you, that it mattereth not what ye shall eat or what ye shall drink when ye partake of the sacrament, if it so be that ye do it with an eye single to my glory--remembering unto the Father (and Mother) my body which was laid down for you, and my blood which was shed for the remission of your sins.
Wherefore, a commandment I give unto you, that you shall not purchase wine neither strong drink of your enemies;
Wherefore, you shall partake of none except it is made new among you; yea, in this my Father's kingdom which shall be built up on the earth."
In the millennium, the practice of replacing the wine with water will generally be followed in the Church of Christ. In these cases, the word 'wine' with 'water' will generally be followed in the Church of Christ. In these cases, the word 'wine will be replaced with 'water' in the sacrament prayer.'
Jesus then reached down and took my hands in his and lifted me up to standing in front of him. He then pulled me close and embraced me! I felt very loved and secure in his arms and knew what he spoke was true, and that he was my Redeemer, even Jesus Christ, who was slain for the sins of mankind."

Doctrine & Covenants 21:4-9
4 Wherefore, meaning the church, thou shalt give heed unto all his words and commandments which he shall give unto you as he receiveth them, walking in all holiness before me;
5 For his word ye shall receive, as if from mine own mouth, in all patience and faith.
6 For by doing these things the gates of hell shall not prevail against you; yea, and the Lord God will disperse the powers of darkness from before you, and cause the heavens to shake for your good, and his names glory.
7 For thus saith the Lord God: Him have I inspired to move the cause of Zion in mighty power for good, and his diligence I know, and his prayers I have heard.
8 Yea, his weeping for Zion I have seen, and I will cause that he shall mourn for her no longer; for his days of rejoicing are come unto the remission of his sins, and the manifestations of my blessings upon his works.
9 For, behold, I will bless all those who labor in my vineyard with a mighty blessing, and they shall believe on his words, which are given him through me by the Comforter, which manifesteth that Jesus was crucified by sinful men for the sins of the world, yea, for the remission of sins unto the contrite heart.
59F1-59F9: "It has bothered me that what I wrote a year ago had a few errors, even though they have since been corrected in more recent posts.
For example, I had a question whether I was to be involved in the future in the construction of the New Jerusalem, in any way. I received a 'no' answer a year ago. Well, since then my Heavenly Parents have shown me in detail the way this entire city is to be constructed, the temple structure plans and construction, and they have told me I would even be overseeing the construction.
This discrepancy has bothered me! I wish I had been 100% accurate in my past posts. I wonder too what else is there where I made mistakes, or written something not true?
So when I came to the white gate this morning, Jesus Christ opened the gate and let me come in. Before I went on the path to the tree of life, I faced my Savior and asked him why there were such discrepancies in my web posts?
Here is his answer he spoke to me:
'Raphael, my son, you are in the flesh, and are an imperfect man. You had received your answers to these questions a year ago in prayer and in rapid succession. In that environment of receiving, you misinterpreted a small portion of what you were receiving, not taking time to carefully go back and retest what you received. This has allowed some minor errors to creep into your web posts.
Since that time, your spiritual perceptions have greatly improved, because you have been able to increase your connection with us and your spiritual replicated self who dwells in the celestial realms above. You are now more accurate in your posts than you were one year ago.
Raphael, do not be discouraged by your weaknesses of the flesh! We still work with you in great abundance, even though you have weaknesses and flaws and still make mistakes. This too is part of our plan for you and for all of our children in mortality. This is why we had asked the early members of the Church of Christ to sustain the prophet Joseph Smith in all patience and faith. See D&C 21:4-8-
"Wherefore, meaning the church, thou shalt give heed unto all his words and commandments which he shall give unto you as he receiveth them, walking in all holiness before me;
For his word ye shall receive, as if from mine own mouth, in all patience and faith.
For by doing these things the gates of hell shall not prevail against you; yea, and the Lord God will disperse the powers of darkness from before you, and cause the heavens to shake for your good, and his names glory.
For thus saith the Lord God: Him have I inspired to move the cause of Zion in mighty power for good, and his diligence I know, and his prayers I have heard.
Yea, his weeping for Zion I have seen, and I will cause that he shall mourn for her no longer; for his days of rejoicing are come unto the remission of his sins, and the manifestations of my blessings upon his works."
Please note that those to whom we reveal our great truths are mortals, and are weak and imperfect. We therefore require that those who sustain them to continually test their words themselves in prayer and supplication before us. Those whom we have asked to sustain you will find faults and mistakes, but these are minor compared to the overarching and grand revelations of truth that we have and continue to reveal to you from the heavens. Weaknesses of the flesh are common to every one in mortality, including you and all of the prophets.
Walk in humility before us, seek our face always, and we will continue to pour down revelation upon revelation upon you, as fast as you are able to receive them.'"

Doctrine & Covenants 22:1
1 Behold, I say unto you that all old covenants have I caused to be done away in this thing; and this is a new and an everlasting covenant, even that which was from the beginning.
Wed, May 29, 2024
Baptism is required for entry into the Church of the Firstborn. As such, it is part of the overarching covenant, called the everlasting covenant. All those who are chosen by Jesus Christ need to make this covenant of baptism. This launches them on the path to receive the remaining parts of this everlasting covenant. Once they enter into the Church of the Firstborn, they receive the promise of the Father that they will receive eternal life and exaltation. Baptism is the first step of this process for all of God's children.
See also my notes in D&C 1:22.
127B17, from Heavenly Mother: "She spoke: 'Raphael, I confirm all that your Father has spoken to you this morning. He spoke to you about your covenants in the LDS church. The most important covenant you make in this church is baptism (of the water and the spirit) and the sacrament you make weekly. The sacrament extends to you your covenant of baptism that you received in 1967. The sacrament is now the most important covenant you make in your current life. Baptism is performed only in the church of Christ, and not in the Church of the Firstborn. It is a necessary eternally binding covenant we require for all our faithful elect who are admitted into the celestial Church of the Firstborn.'"

1 Hearken unto the voice of the Lord your God, while I speak unto you, Emma Smith, my daughter; for verily I say unto you, all those who receive my gospel are sons and daughters in my kingdom.
2 A revelation I give unto you concerning my will; and if thou art faithful and walk in the paths of virtue before me, I will preserve thy life, and thou shalt receive an inheritance in Zion.
3 Behold, thy sins are forgiven thee, and thou art an elect lady, whom I have called.
Sun, November 24, 2024
While in my Elder's Quorum lesson today, we read together the above verses concerning Emma Smith. The words "thou shalt receive an inheritance in Zion" impressed me. I felt that the inheritance referred to by Jesus Christ would be that started in the New Jerusalem celestial temple, with the waters of separation ordinance and her and Joseph's names being written in the Lamb's Book of Life. The fulfillment of this promise will be at the end of this world, when the scripture is fulfilled in D&C 85:7 by God and Raphael. Emma will receive her inheritance jointly with Joseph in the eternal Zion: "[Raphael will] arrange by lot the inheritances of the saints whose names are found, and the names of their fathers, and of their children, enrolled in the book of the law of God [Lamb's Book of Life];" (see also my notes in this verse). This promise of an eternal inheritance on this celestial earth will be repeated for everyone who is admitted in to the Church of the Firstborn, and who have their name written in the Lamb's Book of Life.

Doctrine & Covenants 25:11-12
11 And it shall be given thee, also, to make a selection of sacred hymns, as it shall be given thee, which is pleasing unto me, to be had in my church.
12 For my soul delighteth in the song of the heart; yea, the song of the righteous is a prayer unto me, and it shall be answered with a blessing upon their heads.
127C15-127C27, from Heavenly Mother: "'Raphael, there is very much your Heavenly Father and I wish to speak to you about, and music's influence in the heavens and how music effects our children, is one of these topics.
Our beloved Son, Jesus Christ, spoke these words to the prophet Joseph Smith to his wife Emma:
D&C 25:11-12
"And it shall be given thee, also, to make a selection of sacred hymns, as it shall be given thee, which is pleasing unto me, to be had in my church.
For my soul delighteth in the song of the heart; yea, the song of the righteous is a prayer unto me, and it shall be answered with a blessing upon their heads."
Music in our celestial world is beautiful and uplifting to the souls of those who dwell there. We love particularly the song of the heart that is full of joy and happiness, or other sincere deep emotions. Words sung with music are usually well thought out and meaningful, accompanied by a beautiful melody that greatly deepens the message. Choice words, sung to beautiful music, often lingers in the heart and helps our children relive the impact of the moment and the meaning of the message. Your Father and I send our Spirit to accompany these beautiful celestial songs, making the imprint on our children very tender when they hear them. Our Holy Spirit, which is our light we send, is coupled with the message and melody, bringing the music to the heart, mind and entire being or soul of the open recipient.
If we don't send our Spirit to accompany the music to a particular individual, they may still be impacted by the music and its message, but when the Holy Spirit carries it to them, it is so much more deeply impactful. We may selectively send our Holy Spirit with the music to whom we will, or we may send our Spirit upon all the people in a congregation. Those who are open and receptive to our Spirit will be able to receive what we wanted to send, whereas those who are closed may claim they feel nothing. Our Holy Spirit only is able to penetrate and move the open and humble, the seeking and prayerful child. The others consider these things as foolishness, for the things given by our Spirit are subtle and sensitive.
We may speak emotion and love, along with the beautiful music and its message, and thus fill our receptive child with light, all at the same time. These experiences often are never forgotten.
We have found that beautiful music has the ability to open up the hearts and minds of our children. Therefore, when we send the Holy Spirit to accompany the music, along with a particular message to our child, we may be able to touch them in ways otherwise not possible. Music is the catalyst in all of this.
Raphael, I love beautiful music! I particularly love my children who sing to us, their Gods, in praise, prayer, and petitions. We consider the song of the heartfelt righteous soul as a prayer to us, and answer that prayer with a blessing upon their head. Beautiful prose, or poetry, set to refined music that uplifts, is welcomed in our courts above.
There is much in your fallen world that people call music that is degrading and harmful to the souls of our children. Satan knows this and seeks to destroy our mortal children with sinful lyrics, with jarring noise that is completely opposite to the lovely gentleness of celestial music. Whenever this is played, performed, or sung, I quickly depart. I withdraw immediately my Holy Ghost and the Holy Spirit. Our children who are sensitive should receive the clear message that they, too, should leave and depart from all such evil influence.
You can tell what music is of good report, or lovely, for I will be there with music that uplifts and brings peace, enjoyment, and godly rejoicing along with the music and lyrics. My Spirit will abide in your hearts if the music is praiseworthy and uplifting. You will know that we approve since you will be enlightened by our Holy Spirit.
Raphael, once you remove Satan and his hosts, the caliber of music in your world will vastly improve. Our children will enjoy all varieties of fine arts that are uplifting and godly. The vile and base will no longer be a part of the new terrestrial world, and will be a thing of the past. Our children in the millennium will hardly believe that the world was once engulfed in such sin and such degrading music, inspired by Satan or his devils!
In the eternal realms, we have celestial orchestras that play sacred hymns and music to meet every occasion. We frequently sing with our beloved children, bringing to them and to us a love of music that uplifts and enhances our lives. We encourage those who develop their musical talents, and endow them with these gifts in mortality and in other phases of their progression.
When we hold a meeting, we almost always begin with prayer and singing. If the music is appropriate to the message or meeting, it can open up the hearts of our children so that they are in readiness for the message we wish to have delivered. At the meetings' end, we often also close with a hymn and a prayer, which may seal the message in the hearts of our children who attend.
We particularly love the baptism and sacrament hymns for those occasions. Music, set to meaningful words and a sweet tune brings our Holy Spirit and my Holy Ghost.'
I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her beautiful words on the importance and blessing of good, uplifting music! I told her I only wanted to listen to and sing or play uplifting, wholesome and reverent music. I asked that she always attend me so that I could be tutored in all her godly ways, including choosing the best music to inspire my family and me."

Doctrine & Covenants 27:5
5 Behold, this is wisdom in me; wherefore, marvel not, for the hour cometh that I will drink of the fruit of the vine with you on the earth, and with Moroni, whom I have sent unto you to reveal the Book of Mormon, containing the fulness of my everlasting gospel, to whom I have committed the keys of the record of the stick of Ephraim;
29D11-29D17, from Heavenly Mother: "Q- D&C 27:5 states that the Book of Mormon "contains the fulness of my everlasting gospel", and D&C 133:36-37 states this:
"And now, verily saith the Lord, that these things might be known among you, O inhabitants of the earth, I have sent forth mine angel flying through the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel, who hath appeared unto some and hath committed it unto man, who shall appear unto many that dwell on the earth.
And this gospel shall be preached unto every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people."
Also, President Gordon B. Hinckley stated in 1995 (Ensign, November 1995, page 70):
"John the Revelator saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people (Revelation 14:6). That angel has come. His name is Moroni. His is a voice bringing another witness of the living reality of the Lord Jesus Christ."
On October 3rd, 2016, at the mouth of the Provo Canyon, I proclaimed that this angel in Revelation 14:6 was me, Raphael, bringing the everlasting gospel of the church of the Firstborn, through the 144,000.
What am I to understand by all this, for it seems contradictory? I am confused.
A- Today you have been told that you, Raphael, will transport the golden plates, as an angel of God, from the hill Cumorah, to the New Jerusalem. The Book of Mormon contains the fulness of the gospel, for the inhabitants of the earth. Moroni, the angel, initially gave to Joseph the golden plates in September 1827 (JSH 1:59). This was the first fulfillment of the prophecy in Revelation 14:6, as President Gordon B. Hinckley accurately stated in 1995.
The second fulfillment of this scripture, in Revelation 14:6, occurred on October 3, 2016 when you, Raphael, an angel of God, flew in the midst of heaven, with all the holy angels around you, at Mount Zion. At that time, you proclaimed in the spirit to the 144,000 who were gathered on the slopes of Mount Zion, that their commission would be to proclaim the everlasting gospel unto those that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people. You said to them that when they would go into the white cloud, to the summit of Mount Zion, that Jesus Christ would himself give them this commission and charge directly from his own mouth. This soon happened as you had said it would. (See Revelation 14:1).
You then said, with a loud voice in the spirit, to all the inhabitants of the earth, as well as to those angels and the 144,000 on the slopes of Mount Zion, in the Provo Canyon: "Fear God, and give glory to him, for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters." (Revelation 14:7)
You, Raphael, will also soon carry the golden plates, including the sealed portion of that ancient book, to its final resting spot in the New Jerusalem. This will also be in fulfillment of Revelation 14:6, where you, as an archangel of God, will fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel , or the fulness of the gospel (the Book of Mormon), in your hands, against your bosom. This is the gospel that will be preached by the 144,000 to the inhabitants of the earth. This is the missionary force that will fully penetrate every nation kindred, tongue and people.
The missionary effort of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the preparatory missionary force, bringing their converts to the LDS church, in the telestial world. The final missionary force will be the 144,000 who will do so in a terrestrial world, and bring their converts to the church of the Firstborn. This record of the Book of Mormon, containing the fulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ, in used by both missionary forces. The first use the Book of Mormon that is now published; the second missionary force will also have the sealed portion of the Book of Mormon, truly the fulness of the gospel, to help convince their converts, and bring them to Zion, the pure in heart, to the New Jerusalem."

Doctrine & Covenants 27:12
12 And also with Peter, and James, and John, whom I have sent unto you, by whom I have ordained you and confirmed you to be apostles, and especial witnesses of my name, and bear the keys of your ministry and of the same things which I revealed unto them;
52X11-52X14, from Jesus Christ: "Q- Do Peter, James and this John the Beloved, have the keys of the ministry as spoken of in D&C 7:7-"And I will make thee to minister for him and for thy brother James; and unto you three I will give this power and the keys of this ministry until I come."?
A- Yes. This John who jointly holds the keys of this ministry is John the Beloved, not John the son of Zebedee. These three apostles returned and conferred the Melchizedek Priesthood on Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery. See D&C 27:12-"And also with Peter, and James, and John, whom I have sent unto you, by whom I have ordained you and confirmed you to be apostles, and especial witnesses of my name, and bear the keys of your ministry and of the same things which I revealed unto them; Unto whom I have committed the keys of my kingdom, and a dispensation of the gospel for the last times; and for the fulness of times, in the which I will gather together in one all things, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth;"
Q- So was John the Beloved later ordained as an apostle?
A- Yes. He is spoken of by Nephi as the one who would write the last days events, and also be one of the apostles of the Lord. See 1 Ne 14:18-27-
"And it came to pass that the angel spake unto me, saying: Look!
And I looked and beheld a man, and he was dressed in a white robe.
And the angel said unto me: Behold one of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
Behold, he shall see and write the remainder of these things; yea, and also many things which have been.
And he shall also write concerning the end of the world.
Wherefore, the things which he shall write are just and true; and behold they are written in the book which thou beheld proceeding out of the mouth of the Jew; and at the time they proceeded out of the mouth of the Jew, or, at the time the book proceeded out of the mouth of the Jew, the things which were written were plain and pure, and most precious and easy to the understanding of all men.
And behold, the things which this apostle of the Lamb shall write are many things which thou hast seen; and behold, the remainder shalt thou see.
But the things which thou shalt see hereafter thou shalt not write; for the Lord God hath ordained the apostle of the Lamb of God that he should write them.
And also others who have been, to them hath he shown all things, and they have written them; and they are sealed up to come forth in their purity, according to the truth which is in the Lamb, in the own due time of the Lord, unto the house of Israel.
And I, Nephi, heard and bear record, that the name of the apostle of the Lamb was John, according to the word of the angel.""

12 And also with Peter, and James, and John, whom I have sent unto you, by whom I have ordained you and confirmed you to be apostles, and especial witnesses of my name, and bear the keys of your ministry and of the same things which I revealed unto them;
13 Unto whom I have committed the keys of my kingdom, and a dispensation of the gospel for the last times; and for the fulness of times, in the which I will gather together in one all things, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth;
142H24-142H29, from Heavenly Mother: "'Raphael, the keys of the kingdom of God had been committed to Joseph Smith Jun. in 1830 when we sent Peter, James and John. D&C 27:12-13:
"And also with Peter, James and John, whom I have sent unto you, by whom I have ordained you and confirmed you to be apostles, and especial witnesses of my name, and bear the keys of your ministry and of the same things which I revealed unto them;
Unto who I have committed the keys of my kingdom, and a dispensation of the gospel for the last times; and for the fulness of times, in the which I will gather together in one all things both which are in heaven, and which are on earth;"
Joseph Smith, even though he died, is now resurrected and still retains these keys to the kingdom of God on the earth. Those who were apostles in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have recently lost their priesthood and their keys they had received through the prophets back to Joseph Smith.
When the Church of Christ is re-established again on the earth, prior to the second coming of Jesus Christ, Joseph Smith will ordain and confer these keys on the newly chosen apostle who will be appointed to be the head of this restored terrestrial church. He will then possess the keys of the kingdom of God. He will hold all the keys that Joseph was given by our holy messengers. He will act as the President and Prophet of the Church of Christ.
You, Raphael, have been directly commissioned by us your Gods on 5/14/2017 to 5/15/2017. (see your post 51J1-51J9 and 53A15). You were given responsibility of the wilderness area on this celestial orb until the coming of Jesus Christ to the earth, of building the New Jerusalem temple, and of establishing on earth the church of the Firstborn. This is the kingdom of heaven, or of the celestial, that of necessity needs to be established on the earth when Jesus Christ comes in glory to reign. His arrival in glory in the clouds of heaven will complete the arrival of the kingdom of Heaven on the earth.
Then will the scripture be fulfilled in D&C 65:5-6
"Call upon the Lord, that his kingdom may go forth upon the earth, that the inhabitants thereof may receive it, and be prepared for the days to come, in the which the Son of Man shall come down in heaven, clothed in the brightness of his glory, to meet the kingdom of God which is set upon the earth.
Wherefore, may the kingdom of God go forth, that the kingdom of heaven may come, that thou, O God, mayest be glorified in heaven so on earth, that thine enemies may be subdued, for thine is the honor, power and glory, forever and ever, amen."
The kingdom of heaven will come on the earth in preparation for the return of Jesus Christ. He will then take his rightful place on earth as the king of heaven, for he will be the king and lawgiver to those on the earth (see 2 Nephi 10:14 and Alma 5:50).
Raphael, all of your work for us is done in the celestial realms on this celestial orb and on earth. You help us direct and orchestrate all our work for the elect in preparation for the second coming of Jesus Christ.'"

Fri, Apr 14, 2023
The keys of the kingdom are the keys of the kingdom of God. These were initially conferred on Joseph Smith, but were never exercised to establish the kingdom of God on the earth. God opened the dispensation of the fulness of times in the last days. Joseph Smith used these "keys of the kingdom" to establish the telestial Church of Christ on April 6, 1830 (see D&C 21:3). The kingdom of God on the earth IS NOT the same as the Church of Christ or the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. See my notes in D&C section 65 for more details.

Doctrine & Covenants 27:15-18
15 Wherefore, lift up your hearts and rejoice, and gird up your loins, and take upon you my whole armor, that ye may be able to withstand the evil day, having done all, that ye may be able to stand.
16 Stand, therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, having on the breastplate of righteousness, and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace, which I have sent mine angels to commit unto you;
17 Taking the shield of faith wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked;
18 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of my Spirit, which I will pour out upon you, and my word which I reveal unto you, and be agreed as touching all things whatsoever ye ask of me, and be faithful until I come, and ye shall be caught up, that where I am ye shall be also. Amen.
110I12-110T16: "Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, you have discussed with your sister this afternoon about the shock of how some people who are leaders of nations and religious organizations could be involved in satanic worship and abuse of our innocent children. Satan rages now on earth more than he has ever before. His entrapments were carefully weaved into the lives of some of the powerful that have fallen prey to his designs. Before they fully realize it, they are committing heinous crimes and grievous sins against humanity and against us, their Gods. Their practices are so evil that they develop split personalities, appearing one way before the people they lead and completely the opposite way in their satanic practices.
Your Heavenly Mother showed you that our plan will soon no longer require those who inwardly worship Satan, even though they pretend to be whole and righteous. We see them as who they really are-the wild olives that have withered on the branches of our olive tree, the house of Israel! They willingly choose to turn away from God and grovel with Lucifer and the fallen ones. They will all be cast into the pile of dead branches to be burned with the fire of our indignation!
Your sister Rachael has been thinking deeply about these new revelations. She sketched herself with her armor of God. This is what would be helpful for all of our elect to gird themselves with, in protection against the evil day.
D&C 27:15-18 "Wherefore, lift up your hearts and rejoice, and gird up your loins, and take upon you my whole armor, that ye may be able to withstand the evil day, having done all, that ye may be able to stand. Stand, therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, having on the breastplate of righteousness, and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace, which I have sent mine angels to commit unto you; Taking the shield of faith wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked;

Be prayerful, be trusting of us, and have faith, and we will continue to protect you and pour down revelations upon you as fast as you may receive!'"

2 But, behold, verily, verily, I say unto thee, no one shall be appointed to receive commandments and revelations in this church excepting my servant Joseph Smith, Jun., for he receiveth them even as Moses.
3 And thou shalt be obedient unto the things which I shall give unto him, even as Aaron, to declare faithfully the commandments and the revelations, with power and authority unto the church.
4 And if thou art led at any time by the Comforter to speak or teach, or at all times by the way of commandment unto the church, thou mayest do it.
5 But thou shalt not write by way of commandment, but by wisdom;
6 And thou shalt not command him who is at thy head, and at the head of the church;
7 For I have given him the keys of the mysteries, and the revelations which are sealed, until I shall appoint unto them another in his stead.
53R3-53R8, from R: "I also felt that the council of twelve angels might well change for who attends such meetings in the future. These are NOT permanent positions in this council of angels, but these were the initial attendees. Some may rotate out, and others rotate in. We all need to be humble enough to accept this. We are all equal before God, and some might have other gifts that will be called on in the future, in these council meetings.
What is important to our God is that there is an active council of angels, who are able to work together without contention, without bullying others with any dogmatic stance, or their own agendas. What IS important is for those who attend such meetings to be humble, to seek guidance during the meeting from the Spirit of God and our Heavenly Parents. This really can't be done as a larger group-we need this smaller group of twelve mortal angels. The information from these meetings is to be shared with all the group, once we are determined that our information comes from God and not ourselves.
I feel it is good for R.B. to continue to connect us in a group of twelves to communicate with each other in the future. We cannot push agendas in the future, unless these are truly given by God and there is a consensus among us twelve mortal angels that these are truthful. Each has to confirm the truth before weighing in, or taking action. . . But we need God's direction, as a group of twelve, and not as individuals, with the Spirit attending us. We will see how this goes.
I will continue sharing to the larger group of mortal angels, if they agree with me, how I feel and what I receive from God. Each person is responsible to find out for themselves, whether I speak the truth or not.
I am determined to move this work forward as I feel inspired. Whoever wants to join me may do so or not. I do believe we are all angels having our mortal experience, and most of us are deeply flawed in the weaknesses of the flesh. I hope each will strive now to be the new creation God has intended, rather than grovel in our past earthly weaknesses. Put off the natural man and woman, and become a Saint, humbly receiving direction from God! This is the spirit that I will be conducting all meetings and events that we may be involved in, in a future day.
I just now asked my Heavenly Parents to let me know if what I just wrote above was correct. I feel confirmed it is true and acceptable with God, our Heavenly Father and our Heavenly Mother.
IMPORTANT: I need to have each mortal angel weigh in on this, by writing me if they are in agreement or not. If I don't hear back from them, by email in one month, I will no longer send them these posts."

Doctrine & Covenants 29:7-8
7 And ye are called to bring to pass the gathering of mine elect; for mine elect hear my voice and harden not their hearts;
8 Wherefore the decree hath gone forth from the Father that they shall be gathered in unto one place upon the face of this land, to prepare their hearts and be prepared in all things against the day when tribulation and desolation are sent forth upon the wicked.
166E7-166E14, from Heavenly Father: "You have recently been with Jesus Christ, my Beloved Son, who was in constant communion with your Heavenly Mother and me during his earthly ministry. He had prepared well in his life up to the time of his appearing among men as the promised Messiah. He learned to respond quickly to our direction, and to act in faith, which brought an abundance of our Spirit upon him. When he ministered to the people, he continually was guided by us, his Heavenly Parents, and we witnessed to those he was with by sending to them our Spirit, testifying to their souls he was our promised Redeemer who would save them individually and bring them again to us, their Gods, even as when they were with us in their premortal life.
We desire that you act in such spiritual maturity also in your mortal life, in living a very Christ like life and in continually being open and in tune to our guidance and direction. When you feel our Spirit gently prompt you, even as we did for Jesus, then act immediately in faith. This will bring our Spirit about you in abundance. We will also witness to those you interact with, or seek to heal, or whatever you may do that it is true and of God. The humble and receptive may then hear with their hearts our Spirit and our direction for them in their lives.
Remember, this scripture now applies to you and our elect:
D&C 29:7-8
"And ye are called to bring to pass the gathering of mine elect; for mine elect hear my voice and harden not their hearts;
Wherefore the decree hath gone forth from the Father that they shall be gathered in unto one place upon the face of this land, (Raphael, this is the New Jerusalem, but before that time, my elect will be gathered in safe garners to wherever they live on the earth, in holy places, with our protection and guidance upon them. They will be responsive to our Spirit for they are our elect, and harden not their hearts) to prepare their hearts and be prepared in all things against the day when tribulation and desolation are sent forth upon the wicked."
Heavenly Father continued: 'This tribulation will also envelop the elect until they come unto us, their Gods, in mighty prayer for their deliverance. They will need to look upward towards the light, and we will send Jesus Christ to come and individually succor and bless them, even as S saw in his most recent vision in the sandstorm. Jesus will be able to stop the storms of life upon them and bring to them his peace and connection again with us, their Heavenly Parents, all in process of time, even as fast as they are willing to receive.'
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his further witness and his truths he shared with me this morning in my prayer. I felt one with him and could feel his light stream into me with great love, acceptance and peace.
I then noticed that the golden altar was shining with the most brilliant gold hue I had ever seen! This thought came into my mind, from my Father who stood before me: The altar is a symbol of the condition of the hearts of those who yearn to commune again with God. Their hearts are gradually refined, even as gold is refined and the dross removed, as they come unto God. Then, as it says in our anthem "America the Beautiful" the words 'may God thy gold refine', so shall those words come to pass for the elect of God.
I also thought of the verse in "How Firm a Foundation" about "the dross to consume and thy gold to refine." We who are the elect of God, who hear the voice of God and then follow God willingly, will have the dross in our beings gradually removed, and our hearts refined like gold.
Heavenly Father smiled upon me as a witness of this thought. He then started fading from my view and was soon gone. The golden altar was still very brilliant gold, however. I hope to see it so brilliant from now on, every time I come by it on this celestial orb."

Doctrine & Covenants 29:8
8 Wherefore the decree hath gone forth from the Father that they shall be gathered in unto one place upon the face of this land, to prepare their hearts and be prepared in all things against the day when tribulation and desolation are sent forth upon the wicked.
Sun, Jul 7, 2024
The gathering of the righteous is to occur generally on land of America, in different parts of the land, to be prepared against the days of tribulation. This is the purpose of gathering to America, to make it a land of peace and safety in the world with many desolations prior to the coming of Christ on the mount of Olives. See also Ezekiel 37:21 where the Lord says he will gather Israel into one nation with a king over it.
In addition, the gathering in America is to be finally done to the New Jerusalem. This is in a terrestrial realm which is not accessible by those in a lower, telestial realm, unless they transition there somehow, or are brought there by the Lord Jesus Christ or by his servants, the 144,000. This is the ultimate method of gathering.
Those who come to the New Jerusalem will have to be changed into terrestrial mortal beings as well, for telestial people cannot enter. This change upon these elect and chosen of God has already happened. It is a change that most of the elect are not aware of. These elect hear the voice of God, the Spirit, and follow the guidance they receive. These have received this change in their physical bodies so that they will be protected and be able to enter into that realm in the future. They will also be the only ones who are caught up in the clouds when Jesus Christ appears in glory. The remaining telestial people on the earth are wicked, and love the ways of Babylon and the world more than the ways of God. These will be burned at the coming of the Lord.
The terrestrial will descend with Jesus Christ to a new terrestrial earth to begin the millennium. Satan will be bound and the people will live without war and be at peace.
See my notes in 3 Nephi 22:3 and Ezekiel 37:21-23.

17 And it shall come to pass, because of the wickedness of the world, that I will take vengeance upon the wicked, for they will not repent; for the cup of mine indignation is full; for behold, my blood shall not cleanse them if they hear me not.
Mon, Nov 27, 2023
This is the definition of the wicked who will be destroyed by Jesus Christ at his second coming: the wicked will not hear him, and his blood will not cleanse them. The elect hear Jesus and the Father, and are cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christ.
35D9-35D11: "Q- I understand that we angels are to administer and bless the elect of God. What about the vast numbers of those who are not elect? Do we spend our efforts in protecting, healing and blessing them as well?
A- From Heavenly Father:
'Our elect children, whom I have chosen with your Heavenly Mother, are heirs of the celestial kingdom, and will be brought to the New Jerusalem and admitted into the church of the Firstborn. These will live with us, and be crowned in our kingdom, as spoken in the scriptures (see D&C 76:50-70).
Those who are not elect, are still our children, but have not, and will not repent and choose us. (see D&C 29:17-'And it shall come to pass, because of the wickedness of the world, that I will take vengeance upon the wicked, for they will not repent; for the cup of mine indignation is full; for behold, my blood shall not cleanse them if they hear me not.') Their commitment to follow our direction and promptings is not sufficient to change their lives. Most of these will ultimately receive a kingdom of glory, after the final judgment. However, worlds without end, they will not receive what they could have received-a place with us in our kingdom of glory.
We will occasionally inspire one of our angels to administer to these who are not elect, in protecting, healing or helping direct their lives. However, the great majority of the effort and work of the angels will be focused on the elect of God, our chosen children, who will ultimately make their way fully back to us, their Heavenly Parents, through our Son, Jesus Christ.'"

Doctrine & Covenants 29:18-20
18 Wherefore, I the Lord God will send forth flies upon the face of the earth, which shall take hold of the inhabitants thereof, and shall eat their flesh, and shall cause maggots to come in upon them;
19 And their tongues shall be stayed that they shall not utter against me; and their flesh shall fall from off their bones, and their eyes from their sockets;
20 And it shall come to pass that the beasts of the forest and the fowls of the air shall devour them up.
159I0-159I17: "I came to the domed room to pray. I knelt there, asking for my Heavenly Mother to come. There was no door open, for all the room consisted of walls and ceiling, and a floor.
An opening then appeared in the wall and my glorious and bright Heavenly Mother came into the room! She stood right in front of me. She wore a scarlet-red sash around her inner white robe, and she wore a white cape that flowed over the robe on her back.
She next spoke to me: 'Raphael, S is correct in what he wrote to you by email and you read this morning. The new virus will spread quickly in your state and will cause great distress, for there will be no cure that the doctors know about. The cough of asymptomatic people will spread this new virus to others.
The cure to heal from this disease is the corona fire that I have given to the elect of God. They will also receive strength and visitation of my angels when they humbly and sincerely plead to the Father to be healed. Finally, the remedy that your sister K is planning to brew will also be instrumental in healing people with this latest new virus. It will be difficult for those, however, who gain the outward signs of this disease, with the red or purple bleeding spots, to be healed without our Godly power. This new virus will baffle the doctors, and they won't find a cure. They will become very frightened of the many deaths, destructions and diseases that will come very quickly.'
I then saw on the wall of the domed room S's chicks that died, with flies attracted to them. These flies seemed to be eating their flesh.
Heavenly Mother continued: 'Raphael, the view of these dead chicks and of S's dream with the empty chair in the examination room with flies around it, and an empty hospital are one in the same message. The meaning is that this virus will spread "death, destruction, disease," and will be ghastly. The scripture you thought of in D&C 29:18-20 will be fulfilled with this disease.
Raphael, yesterday you listened while you worked to one of your own past posts where you were reminded about your objective shield, and how this would protect your tender feelings about witnessing those terrible things (see your post 60J1 to 60J12). Place now this objective shield on you, as you witness this next scene on the walls.'
I then thought of my objective shield, and felt it come upon me. I then saw death, destruction, and disease all around me! People were dead, many piled up on the ground. Hoards of flies were eating their flesh. I saw vultures come and eat their bodies, ripping their flesh! I also saw wild animals come and growl at the birds, and then also eat their rotting flesh. It was a horrible scene-just like D&C 29:18-20 describes.
Heavenly Mother waved her hand and the scene before me vanished. She told me I needed to be a witness of these awful things, and that I would have my objective shield to protect me. She said that I would begin to see many people in distress and in great need. I could serve them in my neighborhood as I was able, but to protect myself with social distancing, wearing a mask and gloves as I currently do.
Heavenly Mother then turned and returned out of the door opening she had come through. I closed my prayer in the name of Jesus Christ."

Doctrine & Covenants 29:21
21 And the great and abominable church, which is the whore of all the earth, shall be cast down by devouring fire, according as it is spoken by the mouth of Ezekiel the prophet, who spoke of these things, which have not come to pass but surely must, as I live, for abominations shall not reign.
Mon, Nov 27, 2023
This verse shows that Ezekiel in ch 38-39 is talking about destruction of the Whore (international bankers who do great abominations against the entire world). The devouring fire is nuclear war and later burning from the presence of the Lord to destroy the whore and Babylon. Footnotes also link the devouring fire to Joel 2, showing this all will occur in America!
170C15-178C18, from Heavenly Father: "Raphael, the devouring fire spoken of in the scriptures, about the last days, often refers to this time of the destruction of modern Babylon. This event will cleanse the land upon which you live of great wickedness, preparing the way for a peaceful and righteous promised land.'
I thanked my Father to have explained the devouring fire given in the scriptures. I saw many references to this in my phone app under the LDS library. Here is one very clear reference:
D&C 29:21
"And the great and abominable church, which is the whore of all the earth, shall be cast down by devouring fire, according as it is spoken by the mouth of Ezekiel the prophet, who spoke of these things, which have not come to pass but surely must, as I live, for abominations shall not reign." (See Ezekiel 38:22, Joel 2:3, D&C 45:40-41, and many other scriptures, particularly in the Old Testament.)
I asked if I should come here during my day in constant prayer, to be with my Father. He said he would be here all day with my replicated celestial being."

Doctrine & Covenants 29:22-23
22 And again, verily, verily, I say unto you that when the thousand years are ended, and men again begin to deny their God, then will I spare the earth but for a little season;
23 And the end shall come, and the heaven and the earth shall be consumed and pass away, and there shall be a new heaven and a new earth.
89H3, 89H5-89H9: "Q2: 'If the earth is terrestrial during the millennium, how can Satan be let loose at the end of the millennium if he can't be in a terrestrial world?'
I started my prayer this morning in heaven at the meandering desert stream not far from the desert oasis. I felt clear and even transparent. I asked for my Heavenly Parents to come to me, or one of them.
Heavenly Father then appeared to me, walking on the desert floor in front of me. He stopped when he got to me. He was glowing in light and was smiling.
He spoke:
'Raphael, what you have written this morning in your journal is true, for I inspired you when you wrote and your words came to you from me.
I will now answer M.A.'s questions:
A2: About how can Satan be let loose in the terrestrial earth- We allow evil influence to come in a celestial world for a season for our own purposes. For example, Lucifer became very evil after he rebelled against our plan to have Jehovah to be the Redeemer. Once we announced this, Lucifer was no longer a celestial spirit, but also fell gradually to be evil, even more manipulative and prideful. Yet we tolerated his influence among our many children for our own purposes for a season. We corrected this inconsistency when we had Lucifer and his followers cast out of heaven for rebellion.
Likewise, there is purpose in having Lucifer and his hosts to be loosed on the terrestrial earth at the end of the millennium. We desire to have a final victory over Satan and all those who continue to follow him.
D&C 29:22-23
"And again, verily I say unto you that when the thousand years are ended, and men again begin to deny their God, then will I spare the earth but for a little season.
And the end shall come, and the heaven and the earth shall be consumed and pass away, and there shall be a new heaven and a new earth."
When you loose Satan and his hosts to go forth on the earth for a little season from the bottomless pit once all the temple work in the New Jerusalem temple is completed on earth for the members of the Church of the Firstborn, we will suffer Satan's influence to come again on the surface of the earth:
Revelation 20:7-9
"And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison.
And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle; the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city; and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them."
Raphael, during the entire millennium, there will be those who do not gather to the Church of Christ, nor are brought to the Church of the Firstborn. They live peaceably with the members of our church. However, once Satan and his hosts are loosed at the end of the millennium, he will have great success among those particularly who are not in our Church of Christ. These will be deceived and become filled with anger. They will ultimately surround the city of the New Jerusalem. Those who remain will still be mortal, for all the remainder will have been resurrected to a celestial glory. This is the time when there will be a great battle among the mortals of the earth, the wicked inspired by Lucifer and his host, and the righteous who are gathered in the city of the New Jerusalem. I will then have my Beloved Son send fire from heaven to consume all the wicked, as a final victory over evil on the earth. Then the earth and the heavens (the celestial realms on the earth) will all die, prior to the glorious resurrection of the celestial glory of the earth.'"

23 And the end shall come, and the heaven and the earth shall be consumed and pass away, and there shall be a new heaven and a new earth.
Mon, Nov 27, 2023
At the end of the millennium, the terrestrial physical realm of the earth shall be consumed and return to elemental matter from whence it was initially created. This was done also at the second coming of Christ for the telestial corruptible earth and its corruptible inhabitants. At the end of the millennium, the terrestrial physical earth will be consumed. What then remains is the celestial physical earth. This will become the abode of the saints of God, those who are received into the Church of the Firstborn during the millennium.

Doctrine & Covenants 29:26
26 But, behold, verily I say unto you, before the earth shall pass away, Michael, mine archangel, shall sound his trump, and then shall all the dead awake, for their graves shall be opened, and they shall come forth, yea, even all.
Sun, Oct 22, 2023
Once all mankind, and all creations are resurrected, then the lower realms will be consumed. This who are resurrected will temporarily return to the celestial orb, or be assigned and taken to their respective realm of glory.
This consumption will include the spirit worlds or realms, both telestial and terrestrial. The only remaining realm will be the celestial realm on the earth. This too will die and it only will become resurrected to a glorious celestial earth. Up until that time, the celestial realm of the earth will not have been resurrected, but was an abode of God, angels, and of the Church of the Firstborn.
The resurrection of the unjust will gather their physical bodies from where they were laid down on the earth. If the body had decomposed on the earth, and the telestial earth was consumed in the intense fire of the second coming, the the resurrection would come from the elemental matter where it is located.

Doctrine & Covenants 29:40
40 Wherefore, it came to pass that the devil tempted Adam, and he partook of the forbidden fruit and transgressed the commandment, wherein he became subject to the will of the devil, because he yielded unto temptation.
178G18-178G25, from Heavenly Father: "He spoke to me: 'Raphael, when the devil tempted Adam and Eve, they "partook of the forbidden fruit and transgressed the commandment, wherein (they) became subject to the will of the devil, because (they) yielded to temptation." (D&C 29:40)
They then became fallen man and woman, and became spiritually dead (D&C 29:41), for they were cast out of my presence. I then gave to Adam and Eve the ability to repent through the redemption and faith on the name of mine Only Begotten Son (see D&C 29:42). This began the days of their probation in mortality. Their world was in a fallen telestial state.
The children of Adam and Eve often believed Satan who came among them and commanded them not to believe the gospel of Jesus Christ as delivered to them by their parents. "And men began from that time forth to be carnal, sensual and devilish." (see Moses 5:13)
This same fallen state of man has continued up until today in your world. However, in the new terrestrial world of the new millennium, you will remove Satan and his evil hosts so that they cannot tempt or entice mankind on the earth. Our children will also all be elect on the earth, and will of themselves allow the spirit of goodness, or our Spirit, to freely have place in their hearts and minds. They will not permit any carnal, sensual or devilish desires to find place in their hearts and minds. All men and women will love the works of God and be filled with the love of their fellowmen.
However, this will still be a fallen estate of our children, for they will not be in our holy celestial presence. Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son, will, however, rule and reign on the earth, and they may be brought into his presence, for he will be among them. This is the terrestrial state of man, as ministered by the Son of Man.
When our children in this high mortal state of men seek to follow diligently our Spirit, and keep all of our commandments, and press forward in faith to come unto God, our Son will one day judge of them and say to them that they will have eternal life in our celestial kingdom. He will then choose them as candidates for entry into his celestial church, and introduce them to us, their celestial parents. They will then be fully redeemed and forgiven of all their sins and shortcomings, and come back into our celestial presence. They will no longer be fallen men and women, but become our redeemed and celestial quickened children, for they are brought back into our celestial glory.
The rest of mankind who don't receive this favored status, (favored by being chosen because of their godly works and diligent efforts), will remain in a fallen state and spiritually dead, for they are still separated from our celestial presence and kingdom. These fallen individuals will be good people, kindly and terrestrial, unless they press forward and persist in their good works and efforts to be favored of God as the celestial elect.
Raphael, you are correct that the terrestrial mortal state of man is in a far more loving and happy environment than the current telestial mortal state of man. The adversary will be removed, and men and women will no longer be carnal, sensual or devilish.'"

Doctrine & Covenants 33:11,15
11 Yea, repent and be baptized, every one of you, for a remission of your sins; yea, be baptized even by water, and then cometh the baptism of fire and of the Holy Ghost.
15 And whoso having faith you shall confirm in my church, by the laying on of the hands, and I will bestow the gift of the Holy Ghost upon them.
146E2-146E25: "I knelt in this area and asked for one or both of my Heavenly Parents to come to me.
Heavenly Father then came walking down the path from the tall fir forest! He stopped momentarily and asked that I follow him as he continued walking on the trail. I stood and followed him, for the path was narrow, only allowing one person wide while walking.
As we were walking, the voice of the Father came clearly into my mind:
'Raphael, I have asked you this morning to follow me. You immediately stood and followed me, for you knew my voice and recognized me as your loving, trusting Father. You know I love you and will never lead you astray. I am leading you to an area where I will show you more truths and revelations!
We kept walking in silence, but soon came to the overlook facing the valley and green hill. As we came here, I could see the temple of God in the distance to the southeast. The sun was shining brightly and it was a beautiful day.
I came next to my Father who was looking over the valley in front of us. I was on his left side.
'Raphael, you have come here by following me. We will now see examples of others who either follow or don't follow me. Look now upon the valley below!'
I looked and saw a man in the field under a tree on his knees. He was praying in the sincerity of his heart. I then saw my Heavenly Mother come next to him. He didn't see her, but she was speaking peace to his soul and sending forth her love and light to him. He soon stood and sat on a chair he had brought, and he wrote his impressions in a book. Heavenly Mother was still by his side, comforting him from the celestial realms where she dwelt.
Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, this man has prayed to me in great humility, alone and apart from others, seeking my guidance and light. Heavenly Mother has come and endowed him with the Holy Ghost. She will stay by his side and give him the gift of the Holy Ghost.
We give the gift of the Holy Ghost, or the companionship of the constant presence of Heavenly Mother, to those who have been confirmed in our church, by the laying on of hands:
D&C 33:11,15-
"Yea, repent and be baptized, everyone of you, for a remission of your sins; yea, be baptized even by water, and then cometh the baptism of fire and of the Holy Ghost.
...And who having faith you shall confirm in my church, by the laying on of the hands, and I will bestow the gift of the Holy Ghost upon them."
Heavenly Father said that the elect of God, whether they are baptized or not, if they pray to him like this man did, will also receive the companionship of their Heavenly Mother, or the gift of the Holy Ghost. This special gift of God will be given to all of the elect because of the difficult times in which the elect live. They will thus be guided and directed by God in these difficult days.
For those who haven't yet been baptized, he and Heavenly Mother have decided to still give this great gift until such time as the true Church of Christ is again established on the earth. Once restored, the gift of the Holy Ghost will again only be available after baptism by water, and then by the laying on of hands.
I thanked my Heavenly Father for this great temporary gift of the Holy Ghost that they will bless the faithful elect with!
Heavenly Father responded: 'Raphael, this is the first time we will give this great gift from God upon our children, our elect children that I have chosen, without them being first baptized. We may do as we wish, and this is our great gift to our unbaptized elect, given by us to them because of the whirlwind of calamity that will soon come upon the earth. Once the true Church of Christ is again established on earth, we will withdraw from them this gift until they have the opportunity to be baptized by our true servants who bear my priesthood. We will always thus be by their sides, and protect and guide them in their lives.'
Heavenly Father then extended his arm over the valley below us and spoke: 'Raphael, look again upon the scene below us!'
I looked and saw an LDS church meeting being held in an LDS chapel. I saw this was somewhere in the United States. The ward members had gathered because their Stake President and bishop had called them together during the week. The members had become frightened due to many disasters in their own area and also the worldwide calamities.
The meetinghouse was full to capacity. The Stake President was comforting the members by trying to assure them that God would not leave them alone, for they had the gift of the Holy Ghost, and all could receive this gift.
I saw that the Spirit of God was not present in this meeting. I saw it was conspicuously not present! The people were not comforted.
Then in the meeting the electric power flickered and then went out. The frightened Latter-day Saints then left the building and drove home.
I looked closely and couldn't see the gift of the Holy Ghost with any, except a very few who had previously petitioned God, in personal and humble prayer, for protection and guidance. I also saw that those who had received this great gift of the Holy Ghost had been also chosen by the Father as his elect.
The remainder of the LDS church members seemed upset and frantic, at times, not knowing which way to turn or what to do. They hadn't felt the Spirit of God at church, for they had become used to made-up stories of God favoring them, and coming to their rescue. However, in this time of need, there was no rescue. The whirlwinds of destruction came upon them just like they came upon the rest of humanity.
This scripture then came into my mind from my Heavenly Father who I was now looking at:
3 Nephi 8:23-25:
"And it came to pass that it did last for the space of three days that there was no light seen; and there was great mourning and howling and weeping among all the people continually; yea, great were the groanings of the people, because of the darkness and the great destruction which had come upon them.
And in one place they were heard to cry, saying: O that we had repented before this great and terrible day, and then would our brethren have been spared, and they would not have been burned in that great city Zarahemla.
And in another place they were heard to cry and mourn, saying: O that we had repented before this great and terrible day, and had not killed and stoned the prophets, and cast them out; then would our mothers and fair daughters, and our children have been spared and not have been burned up in that great city Moronihah. And thus were the howlings of the people great and terrible."
Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, the crying, mourning, and howlings of those in the LDS church who have been once baptized, but had never received truly the gift of the Holy Ghost, will be as great as these Nephite people in this scripture I gave you. We will only protect our own elect who come unto us and keep our commandments, and not the sayings of men or their supposed spiritual leaders.'
Heavenly Father then raised his hand again, and I saw another scene, in a great city of the United States. There had been severe destructions from an earthquake and flooding. Then there was a nuclear explosion high up in the air above the city. There was silence and darkness over the city.
Then this scripture came into my mind-
3 Nephi 21:14-15, 18, 21-
"Yea, wo be unto the Gentiles except they repent; for it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Father, that I will cut off thy horses out of the midst of thee, and I will destroy thy chariots.
And I will cut off the cities of thy land, and throw down all thy strongholds.
...And I will pluck up thy groves out of the midst of thee; so will I destroy the cities.
And it shall come to pass that all lyings, and deceivings, and envyings, and strifes, and priestcrafts, and whoredoms, shall be done away.
For it shall come to pass, saith the Father, that at that day whosoever will not repent and come unto my Beloved Son, them will I cut off from among my people, O house of Israel."
Heavenly Father spoke again:
'Raphael, thus will calamity come upon your land and people as a whirlwind. However, in all of this we will stand by our elect, by giving those who ask of us for guidance and protection, the great gift of the Holy Ghost.'
Heavenly Father was facing me. I knew he loved his children, but no longer would stay his hand in delaying the promised calamities that would destroy the wicked out of the land."

Doctrine & Covenants 33:17
17 Wherefore, be faithful, praying always, having your lamps trimmed and burning, and oil with you, that you may be ready at the coming of the Bridegroom
28A5-28A7: "Q- In Revelation 19, John talks about the 'marriage supper of the Lamb' (see verses 7-9 above). What does this mean?
A- The marriage supper of the Lamb is when each individual who is begotten spiritually by Jesus Christ, and is then accepted into the church of the Firstborn by the ordinance of the waters of separation, by you Raphael, and recorded in the Book of Life by Oriphiel, my other archangel. Each person thus received is admitted into the presence of the Lord. This is in fulfillment of the parable of the ten virgins (see Matthew 25:1-13, given below). Note that this is referred by the Savior as 'the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins'. The kingdom of heaven is only found in the church of the Firstborn. Every righteous saint, from Adam, or Michael, the mighty archangel to the last one born and accepted in the millennium, will have this experience of the marriage supper of the Lamb. This is done in the New Jerusalem, the celestial city, on the earth.
See also D&C 65:3- "Yea, a voice cryingPrepare ye the way of the Lord, prepare ye the supper of the Lamb, make ready for the Bridegroom."
D&C 33:17- "Wherefore, be faithful, praying always, having your lamps trimmed and burning, and oil with you, that you may be ready at the coming of the Bridegroom""

Doctrine & Covenants 35:10-14
10 And the time speedily cometh that great things are to be shown forth unto the children of men;
11 But without faith shall not anything be shown forth except desolations upon Babylon, the same which has made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
12 And there are none that doeth good except those who are ready to receive the fulness of my gospel, which I have sent forth unto this generation.
13 Wherefore, I call upon the weak things of the world, those who are unlearned and despised, to thresh the nations by the power of my Spirit;
14 And their arm shall be my arm, and I will be their shield and their buckler; and I will gird up their loins, and they shall fight manfully for me; and their enemies shall be under their feet; and I will let fall the sword in their behalf, and by the fire of mine indignation will I preserve them.
159D78-159D10, from Heavenly Father: "Raphael, although you cannot at this time fully understand these scriptures and their prophecies, you and our mortal angels, and our celestial angels and celestial servants, will thresh the nations by the power of God to their destruction, all according to our command. We will not suffer Satan to have success in his evil plans for world domination and in the destruction of the righteous! We will stop his work short, and show forth our great power in making the full end of all nations, and in the full destruction of Babylon, even Babylon the Great which shall fall forever. Even Satan will be bound and removed for one thousand years.
Trust in your Heavenly Mother, Jesus Christ, and me in our great power in destroying the works of darkness on the earth. We will surely bring forth again on the earth, in great glory, our Zion, the pure in heart! Be steady and obedient to all we command and inspire you, my son.'
I then felt the great power of God by the intensity of Heavenly Father's light and strength that shone upon me! I felt assurance in his matchless power to destroy the evil works of Satan and those current regimes that reign with blood and horror on the earth. I said I would keep myself in tune to him and Heavenly Mother, and always do as they direct me."

Doctrine & Covenants 35:13
13 Wherefore, I call upon the weak things of the world, those who are unlearned and despised, to thresh the nations by the power of my Spirit;
44D1-44D7: "1) I prayed over each of the mortal angels I know, who have written me and/or have attended my classes. I received a confirmation that the vast majority will be ok and accept this cover-up post I have made. I really so enjoy David ______'s emails last night (not his real name), where he went through my entire post and detail, prayed and received his own answers. There were others too who have done this, but more in a general sense. I feel very gratified, with the corroborating evidence that they bring.
2) I was impressed in a comment with David that the handful of mortal and other angels would be accounted as the weak of the earth, through whom God would thresh the nations. This rings very true to me. See D&C 35:13 and 133:59-
D&C 35:13 "Wherefore, I call upon the weak things of the world, those who are unlearned and despised, to thresh the nations by the power of my Spirit;"
D&C 133:59 "And by the weak things of the earth the Lord shall thresh the nations by the power of his Spirit."
Q- Does God here refer to the holy angels who will thresh the nations with his power?
A- Yes, this is exactly what God is referring to in these two verses.
Q- Does this refer to any other group as well?
A- No
Q- Is what David said about dark and powerful evil spirits, that now have entered into the temples and among the highest levels of the church leadership, really true?
A- Yes
Q- Should my wife and I continue to attend sacrament meeting each Sunday to partake of the sacrament? And are these emblems fully accepted by God now?
A- Yes, it is my will that you keep attending, and yes, this ordinance is still accepted by us. It was designed to be performed without the overseeing authority of anyone who is a leader in the church. It can be performed by worthy priesthood holders with the authority they themselves have been given, inherent in their Melchizedek or Aaronic Priesthood.
Q- For those who have current temple recommends, is attending the temple a place that they may still go to receive light and knowledge, and to worship?
A- Yes. David's explanation is good about this, that there is still a lot of truth in the temple.
Q- Is it important for those of us who are angels, who will be doing the will of God in many of these last days events, to know of the corruption in the Lord's church before the time of calamity actually comes?
A- Yes, the timing of this information being given has been fully orchestrated by God. This knowledge is now revealed to all of the holy angels. They are all now in a position to act unhesitantly in following every direction they receive from God, and acting quickly in full obedience. God requires a willing heart and quick and obedient action."
94H18-94H19, from Heavenly Mother: "'Raphael, you are correct in that all of the holy angels are poised in heaven. They are waiting our commands to reap the fields (the tares) of the earth. In so doing, the wicked will be destroyed and the elect saved, according to the parable of the wheat and tares.
We have empowered you and all our angels to fully act in our name, with our authority, as we command. Each holy angel awaits our commands and has promised to strictly obey our directions. All is therefore ready for these weak of the earth to thrash the nations by our power and Spirit.
Raphael, you do not know any of our specific directions for yourself and the angels in your conscious mind. However, in your replicated, unconscious self, you are acting in great power as our leader of the angels in these last days, in the celestial realms and in heaven.
Do not fret or worry, Raphael, for all is in control and in our hands. We will lead you and our angels, step by step in this great work. We will prepare the world for the elect who will inherit it. There is a beautiful world ahead!'"
102E6-102E7, from Heavenly Father: "'Raphael, you have received a few recent emails from our angels and servants who have shared their journal entries with you. They describe seeing us and receiving instruction and guidance from us. We are awakening them more and more as our heavenly light and love is poured out more abundantly upon our children. We are pleased when they act in holiness and humility before us. We then may more fully reveal ourselves to them and bring all parts of our celestial conversations to their conscious mind. All of our servants need to know that we are in charge of the activities and timing of events in these last days! Our work is great and marvelous:
Isaiah 29:14-15, 19 (Heavenly Father's comments in parenthesis)
"Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous work among this people, even a marvelous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid. (This verse refers to our great work we are unfolding unto the world even now.)
Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the Lord, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? And who knoweth us? (There are many who have secret plans to do their own work and agendas, but these will all come to naught except those we allow to come forth, or those where we inspire our servants.)
The meek also shall increase their joy in the Lord, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel." (We will build up the meek and humble among you, and use the weak and unlearned and despised to thresh the nations by the power of our Spirit. See also D&C 35:13 and D&C 133:58-59)." '"

D&C 38:7-"But behold, verily, verily, I say unto you that mine eyes are upon you. I am in your midst and ye cannot see me."
I felt her close by, but I knew she was in the higher celestial realms, out of my sight. I felt her Spirit however, constantly inside of me, and her whisperings in my mind and heart.
I then thought of these words in Isaiah 30:20-21-"And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the waters of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers.
And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying; This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left."
I then thanked my Heavenly Mother in my mind, and closed my prayer."

Doctrine & Covenants 38:11-12
11 For all flesh is corrupted before me; and the powers of darkness prevail upon the earth, among the children of men, in the presence of all the hosts of heaven
12 Which causeth silence to reign, and all eternity is pained, and the angels are waiting the great command to reap down the earth, to gather the tares that they may be burned; and, behold, the enemy is combined.
38F1-38F8: "I prayed and both Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother came. Their capes were blowing a lot, both last night and this morning.
I asked if there was an additional reason why their capes were blowing, or if I hadn't received the full message yesterday morning.
Heavenly Mother wanted me to write while she spoke:
'Raphael, your Father told you yesterday about war on the horizon. There will also be a fulfillment of calamities on the earth at the beginning of 2017, in increasing numbers. This includes earthquakes, very abnormal weather patterns, the oceans heaving themselves beyond their boundaries, and devastation of all sorts on the earth. Even with these signs, men and women will dismiss these as natural or normal, and not account it to God's hand on the nations.
The scripture in D&C 45:26-27 will also be fulfilled, which reads:
'And in that day shall be heard of wars and rumors of wars, and the whole earth shall be in commotion, and mens hearts shall fail them, and they shall say that Christ delayeth his coming until the end of the earth. And the love of men shall wax cold, and iniquity shall abound.'
Raphael, this will also be the beginning of the gathering of the elect by our angels, and the 144,000 (see Matthew 24:31 and Mark 13:27). You have sounded your trumpet on July 31, 2016 and again on November 25, 2016 with the other archangels at the recent general assembly of heavens angels, in fulfillment of this scripture:
Matthew 24:31: 'And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.'
The day of the work of our holy angels is at hand. Each angel should step-up their effort in connecting with us, their God, to receive direction at our hand.
This message to you today is the great command prophesied to be given to the angels, as spoken of in D&C 38:11-12:
'For all flesh is corrupted before me; and the powers of darkness prevail upon the earth, among the children of men, in the presence of all the hosts of heavenWhich causeth silence to reign, and all eternity is pained, and the angels are waiting the great command to reap down the earth, to gather the tares that they may be burned; and, behold, the enemy is combined.'
Also verse 15: 'Therefore, be ye strong from henceforth; fear not, for the kingdom is yours.'
I looked into the face then of Heavenly Mother, and she was somber and serious. Her cape was no longer breezing, for she had delivered her message. Yet there was a little more she wanted to say:
'Raphael, by the end of this year 2016, we desire all of our holy angels to have increased their vibration level to 50,000 times their normal transfigured state, as you have done. This will be a challenge for all, but this will be required for the missions we give to them in the days ahead.
Give our mortal angels our love! As the world sinks more into darkness, our holy angels will rise in their glory and power to do our work among our children on the earth.'
With this, I looked into her eyes and saw both great compassion and love, yet a firmness and resolve. I looked next into my Heavenly Father's eyes, and his eternity eyes were also very resolved and firm. They were acting as one in their message to me this morning and yesterday. They also wanted me to deliver this message today to all the holy angels, by just sharing it by email to the mortal angels on my list. Once this is published online, I was told that all of the holy angels would read and hear this great message from their Heavenly Parents.
I also felt that the message on war yesterday by Heavenly Father was now ready to be delivered to the angels, since it had been completed with Heavenly Mother's message.""
186E4-186E9, from Heavenly Father: "He spoke: 'Raphael, my intense emotions of anger I had since Monday morning have now passed. I had allowed myself, on purpose, to view in detail all of the deeds of the wicked upon the earth, and to let their evil works settle upon my mind. Usually I see all and am aware of their actions, but don't let my emotions take full sway of my mind, like I did Monday and Tuesday, arousing emotions of anger. However, I did so for the past two days in order to become in my full anger and vengeance.
I choose to do this to gain the verve to execute all the actions upon the wicked that we have planned, according to our timing and purposes. Your Heavenly Mother and I have tender and loving hearts towards our beloved, even upon those who have turned aside from us. We yearn for their return! However, we need to execute judgment upon them based upon the law they have broken, and the great wickedness they have chosen. These have fully turned away from our continual pleadings and entreaties, and have instead chosen Satan and his enticements for gain, power and control at the expense of their fellow mortals. They have chosen to have no love for their fellowman, for they have extinguished this by their own actions. These actions are reprehensible to us, for we have seen them fall from our grace and their potential. They are now fully ripe for their destruction. We have done all for them in hopes they will change, but they haven't. Our plans are for them to be removed from the earth in great numbers, even so we may bring forth a world filled with our elect who have or will respond to us, their Heavenly Parents.'
I humbly asked why he, being God, couldn't appear one way to me in prayer, and in another replicated state, be full of fury and anger?
Heavenly Father responded: 'Raphael, in order to execute our plans of great calamity and death upon the wicked, my mind and heart had to become consumed by viewing their sinister actions fully. I chose to let this happen. Then the injustice of their cumulative actions fully took place in my mind and heart, even to all of my replicated beings. I chose not to have even one part of me, in my replications, to appear one way, and the other replications to be in intense emotions. No, I chose to have all replications, all of my heart and mind to be consumed with my intense emotions. Only we who are Gods and who allow ourselves to experience such deeply upsetting emotions know what this is like.
I have given authority and command to my angels of destruction, and other celestial servants, upon my command, to execute the planned actions against the wicked. Our angels are now in place and stand ready to reap down calamity and destruction upon the wicked, even as I have commanded them in these past two days. They too have received of my deep emotions and my authority, and wait upon my final command.
'D&C 38:11-12
"For all flesh is corrupted before me; and the powers of darkness prevail upon the earth, among the children of men, in the presence of all the hosts of heaven--
Which causeth silence to reign, and all eternity is pained, and the angels are waiting the great command to reap down the earth, to gather the tares that they may be burned; and, behold, the enemy is combined."'"

Doctrine & Covenants 38:13
13 And now I show unto you a mystery, a thing which is had in secret chambers, to bring to pass even your destruction in process of time, and ye knew it not;
14 But now I tell it unto you, and ye are blessed, not because of your iniquity, neither your hearts of unbelief; for verily some of you are guilty before me, but I will be merciful unto your weakness.

I believe that reference to the secret chambers were those who were leaders in the church who were in the future going to committing adultery, in polygamous relationships. Polygamy was fortold in the church in this verse. See p 49 volume 1, "Joseph Smith Fought Polygamy", Richard and Pamela Price.

Doctrine & Covenants 38:30
30 I tell you these things because of your prayers; wherefore, treasure up wisdom in your bosoms, lest the wickedness of men reveal these things unto you by their wickedness, in a manner which shall speak in your ears with a voice louder than that which shall shake the earth; but if ye are prepared ye shall not fear.
139D4-139D12, from Heavenly Mother: "She spoke: 'Raphael, the world will soon receive foreboding news of war and calamity, yet they will do little to stop the devastations that surely will come. This is like the very cold temperatures that will blanket your land in the next few days. There is very little you can do to stop the freeze, except to harvest what remaining produce and fruit you have grown. Once all is safely gathered in, then the effects of freezing weather will come.
Your world marches forward into the future steadily and sure. You cannot change the decreed course of what we have planned for the world, but can only prepare yourself.
You were impressed with all of the camping, cooking, heating and emergency food and equipment you had gathered over the years yesterday when you moved these onto a different shelf. You also discarded what you didn't need any longer. All of our children should prepare, for there will be privations in the near future when normal water sources, electricity and natural gas will be cut off temporarily. We will be with you and each of our elect who have diligently prepared for this day. For those who haven't prepared, we will help them also in their needs, as they call upon us in the energy of their soul. "If ye are prepared ye shall not fear." (see D&C 38:30).
The very most important preparation one may do in the days ahead is to become in tune to us, your Gods. If our mortal children strive diligently to come unto us, whether in times of peace or of tribulation, we will guide and direct them by our still small voice. With us by their side, what do they have to fear?
We might prompt them to move to safer areas, or stay put. We might have them reject certain beliefs and norms that they have always held as true. We want them to be open and receptive, for if not, how can we lead them? We will prove our faithful by how diligently they seek us, or how malleable they are to adjust their lives to our directions. We need them to listen to us more than any leaders or man or society that they may have always trusted. We will try and test them in the difficult days ahead.
You have often remarked to people how much experience it takes to grow and tend a garden in order to sustain oneself. The garden seeds in a long-term storage can that you used to sell will not do the knowledgeable new gardener much good without the skills in knowing how to sprout, nurture, water and protect the growing fruits and vegetables. You have learned by over nearly 45 years of gardening how to raise your own food. This similar experience of growing and using healing plants will also be a very prized skill you have gained in the troubled days ahead.
Nevertheless, we will help all of our children, regardless of their skills or knowledge, if they come unto us in humble and open prayer. We will teach and guide them along.
Isaiah 28:16, 22-26, 29-
"Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
...Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the Lord God of hosts a consumption, even determined upon the whole earth.
Give ye ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech.
Doth the plowman plow all day to sow? doth he open and break the clods of his ground?
When he hath made plain the face thereof, doth he not cast abroad the fitches, and scatter the cummin, and cast in the principal wheat and the appointed barley and the rie in their place?
For his God doth instruct him to discretion, and doth teach him.
...This also cometh forth from the Lord of hosts, which is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in working."
The important thing in all learning is to counsel with us, the Heavenly Parents of our children on the earth! We will bring each of our faithful to Jesus Christ who will also guide and bless them, and redeem all who repent of their sins in the humility of their heart. We have all knowledge, and will freely impart of our wisdom and guidance to our faithful who listen to us and then do as we ask.'"
152E10-152E12, from Heavenly Father: "'Raphael, complete our final preparations in the next few weeks for things you will want to have when you cannot buy them from stores, or when your electric power goes out. Get all of your preparations completed as best you can. "If ye are prepared ye shall not fear." (D&C 38:30)
You cannot imagine everything you may need in the future when you are in a different environment, but if you do your best now, we will bless you in abundance, even in times of great want and need. In all of your preparations, write down the impressions that come upon your mind, and then buy these items while you can still do so.
The greatest preparation that our elect may do is to prepare spiritually by doing what we their Gods reveal to them (see D&C 88:119-"Organize yourselves; prepare every needful thing; and establish a house, even a house of prayer, a house of fasting, a house of faith, a house of learning, a house of glory, a house of order, a house of God;"). It will not be necessary to amass everything you think you might need to maintain your current lifestyle, for that will change. Life will become simpler when there is no electricity or connection to the outside world. Fear not and don't fret, but enjoy each day and the blessings that come into your life and that of your family. Follow our directions and we will be by your side in every time of need and trouble. We will lead you along, my son!'"

Doctrine & Covenants 42:13-14
13 And they shall observe the covenants and church articles to do them, and these shall be their teachings, as they shall be directed by the Spirit.
14 And the Spirit shall be given unto you by the prayer of faith; and if ye receive not the Spirit ye shall not teach.
143C18-143C23, from Heavenly Father: "Also: "And they shall observe the covenants and church articles to do them, and these shall be their teachings, as they shall be directed by the Spirit.
And the Spirit shall be given unto you by the prayer of faith; and if ye receive not the Spirit ye shall not teach." (D&C 42:13-14).
If one is assigned to speak, and they are not moved upon by the Spirit, it would be far better for them not to speak, but defer to another who has the Spirit and is led to speak by our Spirit. We are not pleased when those who speak are not led by our Spirit, or who lean upon their own views and understandings. We would that all who come to the meetings in their chapels or other places, to come in humility and a worshipful attitude.
D&C 6:32-"Verily, verily, I say unto you, as I said unto my disciples, where two or three are gathered together in my name, as touching one thing, behold, there will I be in the midst of them, even so am I in the midst of you."
Raphael, we want to strengthen and buoy up our humble and open believers with our word. We want them to be gathered and fed by inspired men and women, all according to the gifts and blessings of our Holy Ghost and Holy Spirit. We wish that each time they meet they learn and grow in the Spirit.
We inspired Alma who addressed the people in the city of Gideon:
Alma 7:22-24- "And now my beloved brethren, I have said these things unto you that I might awaken you to a sense of your duty to God, that ye may walk blameless before him, that ye may walk after the holy order of God, after which ye have been received.
And now I would that ye should be humble, and be submissive and gentle; easy to be entreated; full of patience and long-suffering; being temperate in all things; being diligent in keeping the commandments of God at all times; asking for whatsoever things ye stand in need, both spiritual and temporal; always returning thanks unto God for whatsoever things ye do receive.
And see that ye have faith, hope, and charity, and then ye will always abound in good works."
Such is also our counsel to our faithful today. We wish to shower upon them our Spirit, but so many will not hear us, or shut themselves to our Spirit, for they do not approach us after the holy order of God, after the true order of prayer like your Heavenly Mother recently explained to you. If they are open, submissive and humble, and pray to us in faith that we send our Spirit and instruct them, we will come!'"

14 And the Spirit shall be given unto you by the prayer of faith; and if ye receive not the Spirit ye shall not teach.
144E12-144E19: "Evening-Today my wife and I attended the funeral of a close family relation. During the funeral services in their LDS chapel, I really enjoyed the talks of each of her surviving children. Then a neighbor spoke who was a long-term family friend. Soon after he began, I felt very uneasy. My wife felt this also. The conclusion of his talk he sang "I Know That My Redeemer Lives". I couldn't even look at him! I felt like leaving, and I squirmed in my seat. My wife leaned over and whispered to me the same feeling! Others in the congregation seemed to be very much enjoying his talk and song.
I know he didn't have the Spirit, for I could tell that. However, he seemed to have a lying or manipulative spirit that made me want to leave. I wondered if this discernment was a gift my wife and I both had. She was curious too why we both felt this, but others didn't and loved his words and song.
Anyway, I came to the horizontal log near the switchback in God's Loving Healing Center. I came west down the little hill to the meadow where the horizontal log was located. I knelt next to the log and faced the hill, and then asked for one of my Gods to come to me.
Heavenly Father appeared at the top of the hill, and then suddenly was right next to me! He was smiling and so accepting of me, for I felt this when I came into his presence. I loved being next to him, and gazing into his very calm and gentle face.
He spoke: 'Raphael, one of the gifts of the Spirit is the discerning of spirits (see D&C 46:23). Both your wife and you have this gift. You knew when the last speaker at the funeral today spoke and later sang that he was not speaking the truth from his heart. He captured many with his words, for he spoke smoothly and eloquently. He did not carry the Spirit of God with him.
Your role in the church of the Firstborn will be as spoken in D&C 46:27-29:
"And unto the bishop of the church, and unto such as God shall appoint and ordain to watch over the church and to elders unto the church (Raphael, you have been appointed and ordained to do so in the Church of the Firstborn), are to have it given unto them to discern all those gifts lest there shall be any among you professing and yet not be of God.
And it shall come to pass that he that asketh in Spirit shall receive in Spirit.
That unto some it may be given to have all those gifts, that there may be a head, in order that every member may be profited thereby (words in parenthesis by Heavenly Father).
Your wife also has the gift of discernment, because she has this gift of the spirit that her Heavenly Mother has given to her.
It would have been far better that this man had not spoken at the funeral, for he did not carry with him our Spirit. We desire only those who teach or expound to have the Spirit of God with them (D&C 42:14)."

Doctrine & Covenants 42:30-39
30 And behold, thou wilt remember the poor, and consecrate of thy properties for their support that which thou hast to impart unto them, with a covenant and a deed which cannot be broken.
31 And inasmuch as ye impart of your substance unto the poor, ye will do it unto me; and they shall be laid before the bishop of my church and his counselors, two of the elders, or high priests, such as he shall appoint or has appointed and set apart for that purpose.
32 And it shall come to pass, that after they are laid before the bishop of my church, and after that he has received these testimonies concerning the consecration of the properties of my church, that they cannot be taken from the church, agreeable to my commandments, every man shall be made accountable unto me, a steward over his own property, or that which he has received by consecration, as much as is sufficient for himself and family.
33 And again, if there shall be properties in the hands of the church, or any individuals of it, more than is necessary for their support after this first consecration, which is a residue to be consecrated unto the bishop, it shall be kept to administer to those who have not, from time to time, that every man who has need may be amply supplied and receive according to his wants.
34 Therefore, the residue shall be kept in my storehouse, to administer to the poor and the needy, as shall be appointed by the high council of the church, and the bishop and his council;
35 And for the purpose of purchasing lands for the public benefit of the church, and building houses of worship, and building up of the New Jerusalem which is hereafter to be revealed
36 That my covenant people may be gathered in one in that day when I shall come to my temple. And this I do for the salvation of my people.
37 And it shall come to pass, that he that sinneth and repenteth not shall be cast out of the church, and shall not receive again that which he has consecrated unto the poor and the needy of my church, or in other words, unto me
38 For inasmuch as ye do it unto the least of these, ye do it unto me.
39 For it shall come to pass, that which I spake by the mouths of my prophets shall be fulfilled; for I will consecrate of the riches of those who embrace my gospel among the Gentiles unto the poor of my people who are of the house of Israel.
192B9-192B19: "I wondered about what my Heavenly Father spoke of the laws of consecration and sacrifice, with all things common. I then read in D&C 42:30-39 about the law of consecration of properties to the bishop of the Church of Christ. As I read these verses, I realized that each member of the church became a steward over his/her own properties (see verse 32). Every man was given a stewardship of what he and his family needed. If they had excess that they didn't need to sustain themselves, this would be consecrated to the bishop of the church who then could give these items or properties as a gift and stewardship to those in need. Any excess commodities would be kept in a storehouse for the poor and the needy.
I also read how garments were to be plain with their beauty the 'beauty of the work of their own hands', see D&C 42:40. I read that those in the church were commanded not to be idle, and that "he that is idle shall not eat the bread nor wear the garments of the laborer." (D&C 42:42).
I searched in the index to Raphael and found nothing about consecration. I did find references to the law of obedience and sacrifice in Zion (see my 178A3, 178B1-178B3). This law is required for all who come into the borders of Zion.
Tonight I came to the little stream that flows into God's Loving Healing Lake. I drank living water, and then knelt facing the lake, and asked for my Heavenly Mother to come to me.
She appeared in front of me, a little above the ground. Her being was very bright around her body, and she was smiling upon me. She wore a beautiful flowing and brilliant white robe.
She spoke: 'Raphael, you are correct that all new arrivals to Zion are required to accept the law of obedience and sacrifice. Once they become citizens of Zion, they are given, by consecration, their lands on which to build their dwellings. They may also desire to till the land and grow the food that they will eat. They may also build more structures like barns and other buildings on their lands besides their own houses.
We are very pleased when the inhabitants of Zion are industrious and, by their own labor, produce that which they need and which others might also need. When there is such ambition and desire, with a good assurance that they may become a wise steward over more land and properties, then that which is available may be deeded over to them by consecration. They become stewards over this new property, and it also becomes their stewardship. They then may produce more.
When there is excess beyond what the steward and his/her family may need or use, the steward then may voluntarily give their excess to the local bishop of Zion, either by bringing the commodities to the storehouse in Zion, or if these be lands or buildings, then by deed to the Church of Christ. The bishop may then distribute this excess to others who are in need, or to those who wish to become stewards over these lands or buildings.
This is how there are all things common among the inhabitants of a Zion community. There is ownership of personal property, transacted by a lawful deed. All is based on genuine love and concern for others, for they wish their neighbors to be blessed with abundance as they have been blessed. All are productive, and there are no idlers in Zion. An idler is one who could work but is lazy and doesn't want to work, or to be productive.
The law of consecration is an organized method to distribute the abundance in Zion communities to those who live there as citizens. Were there to be any poor or needy among them they would be taken care of by the goodwill and abundance of the laborers in Zion. Since the citizens of Zion love one another, even as themselves, they freely share their excess with those around them. When the entire community does this, there are no poor among them.
Raphael, soon after the lost tribes of Israel arrive in the New Jerusalem area, they will become very productive and organized, and there will be much to do. There will soon be a need to build Zion communities in the surrounding areas. These will operate under the law of consecration. All able bodied persons will participate in construction of houses, buildings and garden areas, etc. for each other. Many of the craftsmen and women, and other workers on the New Jerusalem city and temple, will live in surrounding Zion communities, all unseen in the terrestrial realm. There will be a wonderful spirit of cooperation and coordinated labor. Each will be given a responsibility and stewardship, even as they are capable and have skills. There will be many of the youth who will be trained in apprentice roles until they too are skilled in their interests. There will be room for all who come into the borders of Zion and who are willing and able to work. The spirit of cooperation and productivity will pervade all the communities of Zion, our pure in heart.'"

Doctrine & Covenants 42:42
42 Thou shalt not be idle; for he that is idle shall not eat the bread nor wear the garments of the laborer.
174H11-174H19, from Heavenly Mother: "You are doing well to continue to prepare every needful thing for these days of shortages and disruptions coming to your land.
Last night you ate another meal prepared almost entirely from your own garden: potatoes, carrots, parsley and other herbs, green beans, a honeydew melon, tomatoes and tomatillo salsa having peppers and garlic. The water you drank was from your own well on your property. You have been eating like this for the last month, and have received a good boost of physical strength from your own produce that you have grown on your own land. This is pleasing to us that you are being as independent as possible.
Your Father and I will multiply the blessings of the earth that are coming to you by virtue of your own labor and planning. While the rest of your society, who depend only on the grocery stores and other outside resources, realize that they can no longer obtain goods and services like before, you will have plenty and will be able to share with your extended family and those in your neighborhood. We will multiply your storage and growing capability so you will continue to enjoy plenty. This harvest will continue to be abundant for you.
It is our desire to help provide for those who make an effort to prepare and labor with diligence themselves.
D&C 42:42
"Thou shalt not be idle; for he that is idle shall not eat the bread nor wear the garments of the laborer."
Raphael, this is one of the laws of Zion:
D&C 68:30
"And the inhabitants of Zion also shall remember their labors, inasmuch as they are appointed to labor, in all faithfulness; for the idler shall be had in remembrance before the Lord."
There is much joy that comes to the human soul from their hard work and diligent effort. Zion will be established by the labor and work of our children, be it our celestial servants at first, or by our mortal elect who come and are assigned to labor with the skills they have developed in their lives. We will bless those who work with a joyful heart, looking forward to the fruits of their labors."
192B9-192B1: "I wondered about what my Heavenly Father spoke of the laws of consecration and sacrifice, with all things common.

Doctrine & Covenants 42:43-44
43 And whosoever among you are sick, and have not faith to be healed, but believe, shall be nourished with all tenderness, with herbs and mild food, and that not by the hand of an enemy.
44 And the elders of the church, two or more, shall be called, and shall pray for and lay their hands upon them in my name; and if they die they shall die unto me, and if they live they shall live unto me.
Sun, Mar 10, 2013
This is the general method of attending to the sick among the faithful. Note this is the procedure if the sick person does not have faith to be healed. It stands to reason, that if they have faith to be healed, then they should be healed.
51B7-51B16: "I have also been thinking a lot about my main mission, that of healing. I wanted some clarification on this. In my prayer, Heavenly Father wanted me to write as he gave me more insights to my mission of healing. From Heavenly Father:
'Raphael, yesterday in your prayer, you asked us about the healing powers that we have given to our healing angels, and others of our children with the healing gifts. You came to the conclusion that all healing in the flesh, in mortality in the physical world, comes from the power of God, and not the power of any of our children. We confirmed this to you, by our Spirit.
Our children are able to act as our conduits for healing others of our children who are in need. Healing of physical, emotional, spiritual or mental issues comes through our power, and is in accordance with our purposes for that child needing or wanting to be healing.
Here is what we do with such a request for healing: We see if the healing would be in harmony with the specific probationary plan of testing for that, our child in mortality. If it is appropriate in our mind, then we will heal that child if they have sufficient faith, or if the healer has sufficient faith to heal. However, healing has to be approved of God before we heal our child.
Healing is in the same realm as creating. We have the keys of creation, since we are God. When reorganization of a broken bone is needed, for instance, to become full and normal again, we do this in the same manner as creating the bone in the first place. It is a reorganization of the matter to become whole again, by our power and command.
Sometimes we do this reorganization and healing immediately, but sometimes we do it more slowly. We may even have our child regain their health through herbs and mild food (see D&C 42:43), which we have also ordained for the health and reconstitution of man.
D&C 42:43- "And whosoever among you are sick, and have not faith to be healed, but believe, shall be nourished with all tenderness, with herbs and mild food, and that not by the hand of an enemy."
When you act as a healing angel, you are calling upon us, your God, to activate our Godly powers of healing through you to our child who is in need. This power of healing-we cannot delegate nor give you, for that is the power of God. Until the day of you becoming a God yourself, you will need to rely on our power of healing. This is how it is ordained to be.
In the celestial realms, as our holy healing angel, you have always understood these principles of healing. You have always called upon us, your God, to administer healing to whom is in need of healing, the one in need of healing. We have also given to you our thoughts whether this, our child, should be healed, or in what manner we wish to heal him or her. We have then chosen to work through you, or another of our children who has healing gifts, or one who may hold the priesthood and administer healing, or one who is our high priestess with powers or gifts of healing. This is how we interact with all of our healing angels and healers who come unto us in behalf of our needy child who wants healing.
This week, your Heavenly Mother and I will give you more information about healing, as you have requested.
We love you Raphael, and all of our healing angels, and those with healing gifts! Your acts of healing, as conduits for us, are extremely important to us and the well-being of our beloved children in the flesh.'"
71I1-71I8: "I wasn't able to pray again last night except to receive a short message to care for my wife. I did so until late into the night.
It is now morning. We did a brainstorm list of remedies to help us heal last night. We found that mild food was the very highest. I also discovered that we are both anemic and wanted dark berries and liver! We sent our son on errands and just before bed ate liver and bacon with onions! This is quite an unusual remedy, but it is exactly what my wife wanted!
I came again this morning where I had met briefly my Heavenly Parents last night. It was on the western shores of the river representing Heavenly Mother, near the southeast corner of the temple, on the temple lawn. I drank again from the living water and then knelt on the grass, facing east. I asked for my Heavenly Parents to come.
I saw soon a light coming through the trees opposite the river. Heavenly Mother soon emerged-she walked right across the water and stood before me! I gazed on her- she was smiling and I recognized her distinct eternity eyes, so bright and happy! I then began my prayer. I thanked her for coming. I also asked her please not to forget to bless my wife with healing. I asked if I might be her conduit for her healing this morning. She then said:
'Let's go now to your wife!'
We came together to the front room where my wife was upright in the recliner. She couldn't lie back because of coughing fits she'd have. She slept on and off last night, frequently awakened by these jagging coughs.
Heavenly Mother asked me to stand behind the recliner and place my hands on my wife's shoulders. Heavenly Mother then came behind me and placed her hands on my own shoulders.
I then saw healing light come from Heavenly Mother down her arms to me, down my arms to my wife. I saw the light contract much of the irritated mucous in her bronchioles and throat. I saw that not all had been healed and eliminated, but a significant amount. I then saw the light flow stop.
The next thing I knew, we were back on the west side of the river representing Heavenly Mother. She was standing before me smiling and I was kneeling. Heavenly Mother spoke again:
'Raphael, you were correct last night when you brainstormed remedies for your wife's healing. When a very difficult illness hits, it leaves the physical body weak and in great need of rebuilding. Herbs alone won't be sufficient. Mild food has both the volume and characteristic to help rebuild and reconstitute the body. The scripture in D&C 42:43 speaks of this:
"and whosoever among you are sick, and have not faith to be healed, but believe, shall be nourished with all tenderness, with herbs and mild food, and that not by the hand of an enemy."
Sometimes this food may include meat as it has a high source of iron and other body building nutrients. Your choice of liver was correct, plus dark berries. These will be able to give your sick wife the volume of rebuilding nutrients she specifically needs.'
I thanked her for her blessing and her confirmation of what to give my wife to help her body rebuild."

Doctrine & Covenants 42:61
61 If thou shalt ask, thou shalt receive revelation upon revelation, knowledge upon knowledge, that thou mayest know the mysteries and peaceable things, that which bringeth joy, that which bringeth life eternal.
128A2-128A4: "Heavenly Mother then spoke: 'Raphael, we are in a higher celestial realm than you are. Our highest celestial realm is above your celestial realm, and above all of the earth in its fallen state. Our sons and daughters don't often understand our higher ways, for they don't think and see like we do.
When our children open up their hearts to us, and wait upon us for guidance, we will lead them with our higher understandings, much higher than their own. We may easily see past, present and future equally easily, and will lead our children aright. However, they must, on their own volition, come to us, in the openness of their heart and mind. If they think they know more than us, or want us to lead them in a way they determine with their very limited perspective, then we will not open up to them. They truly need to see themselves as fully dependent upon us, their God, and trust in where we may lead them. We will always lead them in our higher celestial ways.'
Heavenly Mother then reached out to touch my shoulder with one of her hands: 'Raphael, continue in the meekness and lowliness of heart, and we will continue to pour out upon you "revelation upon revelation, knowledge upon knowledge, that thou mayest know the mysteries and peaceable things-that which bringeth joy, that which bringeth life eternal." (D&C 42:61).'"
157A5-157A8, from Heavenly Mother: "Continue in daily communion with us, your Gods, and we will continue pouring out upon you our Spirit and directions.
D&C 42:61-"If thou shalt ask, thou shalt receive revelation upon revelation, knowledge upon knowledge, that thou mayest know the mysteries and peaceable things, that which bringeth joy, that which bringeth life eternal."
This same promise we extend to all of our faithful. We require a humble, open heart and a willing mind to shift their views, beliefs and actions according to our will, and not to follow man, or the ways and thinking of man or the society of man. We will thereby lead our elect into a better world of peace, joy, and soon our millennium as we have promised.'
I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her truths, and for the revelations I have received! I thanked her for shedding forth her abundant light upon me. I said how I cherished her peace in my troubled world."
177A9-A10: "Heavenly Father then reached over to me and touched me on my shoulder with his hand. We were then instantly standing next to the forest pool, with the pyramid room behind us. 'Raphael, I may show you all things that I desire, and have you write my words. Then you will one day share your record with our faithful who will read and ponder your words with anticipation and joy, even as you are filled with my light as I share these with you. In time, the revelations that Heavenly Mother, Jesus Christ, and I give to you, and to others of our faithful servants, will create a very cohesive network of truth that will be so marvelous for all to understand. We have chosen to build upon our previous revelations gradually, line upon line, until you understand more and more, and even one day to a fullness. This process of revealing the fullness of the gospel will create in you and our faithful a great storehouse of knowledge and a cohesive understanding of all truth. We will not limit the breadth of knowledge to you and our other faithful sons and daughters, for all things will be revealed!'
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his great blessings to me, to reveal all things gradually, building knowledge upon knowledge. I thought of the scripture in D&C 42: 61-
"If thou shalt ask, thou shalt receive revelation upon revelation, knowledge upon knowledge, that thou mayest know the mysteries and peaceable things-that which bringeth joy, that which bringeth life eternal.""
177H5-177H8, from Heavenly Mother: "On the other hand, our elect will continue to be taught in our celestial realms and their hearts will become more and more open to our truths. We will send our light upon them, comfort them and give them peace in their world of increasing turmoil that surrounds them. We will educate their feelings by giving them the peaceable things of our kingdom.
D&C 42:61
"And if thou shalt ask, thou shalt receive revelation upon revelation, knowledge upon knowledge, that thou mayest know the mysteries and peaceable things-that which bringeth joy, that which bringeth life eternal."
We will whisper to their hearts the way they should go. Our elect will hear our voice and keep our commandments.
We will lighten the path that is safe before them, even so that they may see the way to proceed in their life. Lucifer cannot give light, for he has none to give. However, even as you feel my light abundantly coming into you at this time from my being, even so will we illuminate our elect. We will not only shine a light spiritually before them, but we will send our feelings to guide them that will accompany this light. Our elect will feel more and more our holy presence, even while we withdraw our presence from the wicked more and more."
188B17-188B22: "Heavenly Father then spoke: 'Raphael, the interpretation of love casting out fear, given to S.A. from her Heavenly Mother, is a mystery of our kingdom and is true. We have many such mysteries we wish to unveil to our elect. We will reveal our truths as fast as our children may sincerely ponder and then ask of us. We will reveal our revelations to any who come before us in faith and diligence, and then is open and receptive to what we say and what we may ask them to do. This is the great time of awakening and revelation to our elect children.
D&C 42:61
"If thou shalt ask, thou shalt receive revelation upon revelation, knowledge upon knowledge, that thou mayest know the mysteries and peaceable things--that which bringeth joy, that which bringeth life eternal."'
I then thanked my Father for his second witness to what Heavenly Mother had revealed about perfect love casting out fear. I prayed that we, who are called as his and Heavenly Mother's celestial servants in these last days, might be filled with their perfect love, and not fear man or what man could do. I also asked that we be inspired to ask questions to him and Heavenly Mother, and receive answers. I asked that we would not be afraid, but be full of courage and love. I asked that we fill the measure of our callings, including asking for revelations upon revelations. I asked that we might be inspired in all of these things.
Heavenly Father responded by quoting a scripture found in D&C 88:73-75
"Behold, I will hasten my work in its time. (Raphael, this time is now.)
And I give unto you, who are the first laborers in this last kingdom (even the celestial kingdom which is coming in glory upon the earth, which constitutes in part my strange work and my strange act), a commandment that you assemble yourselves together, and organize yourselves, and prepare yourselves, and sanctify yourselves; yea, purify your hearts, and cleanse your hands and your feet before me, that I may make you clean;
That I may testify unto your Father, and your God, and my God, that you are clean from the blood of this wicked generation; that I may fulfil this promise, this great and last promise, which I have made unto you, when I will." (words in parentheses added by Heavenly Father)
Raphael, this promise is that I will hasten my work in its time. Jesus Christ, my Beloved Son, needs to clean and sanctify every one of our celestial servants so that our great work will be hastened by your Heavenly Mother and me in pouring out revelation upon revelation. We are also hastening all of our elect by preparing them and having them taught in celestial realms above. This is the time of our great hastening, and we are doing it even now.'
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his words. I said I was ready for this hastening to increase in intensity among his faithful servants and his elect."

Doctrine & Covenants 43:3
3 And this ye shall know assuredly, that there is none other appointed unto you to receive commandments and revelations until he be taken, if he abide in me.
175L10-175L19: "Heavenly Father spoke to my mind: 'Raphael, you have been commissioned and ordained to receive our revelations in the Church of the Firstborn. At times you have wondered if your Heavenly Mother and I have truly inspired you to receive so many of our abundant revelations. What you have written in your many journals, stating you received from us instruction and heard our voice, is all true. You are the one on earth, even as Joseph Smith was in 1831 to the Church of Christ, to receive our revelations:
D&C 43: 3
"And this ye shall know assuredly-that there is none other appointed (Joseph Smith Jr) unto you (the elders of the church) to receive commandments and revelations until he be taken, if he abide in me." (words in parentheses from Heavenly Father)
Similarly, you Raphael, are our current prophet and spokesman for our Church of the Firstborn which is our celestial church on the earth. What you receive in prayer and write in your journal constitutes our revelations given to this church so far.
You are appointed to receive all of these revelations and commandments for the Church of the Firstborn as Joseph was to receive the revelations and commandments in the Church of Christ. (see D&C 28:2). You are to receive our word even as Joseph Smith or Moses received them in their day.
Our words flow freely into your mind in a very natural and direct way. You do not correct our words as you receive and write them, except for grammatical or spelling errors. What you write each morning and evening stands as our witness and revelations to our elect.
In turn, we will inspire and confirm to all the humble prayers of our faithful elect who ask whether your written words are from us. We will abundantly witness by our Spirit and the Holy Ghost the truth of your words, for they are truly our words and not your own or man's.
In all dispensations, we have chosen a head through whom we reveal our will for the church of that day. For you, you receive these for our celestial church, and we therefore will restrict access to your records to those whom I have chosen as our elect, with the consultation of your Heavenly Mother. These are the only ones, plus those who are celestial in heaven, or those who are also elect in the realms of the dead, who will gain access to your account. The telestial will never know of these records or have any access to them.
Your record constitutes one of those records which contain a fullness of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The fulness refers to the extra truths we reveal to those who are candidates for the Church of the Firstborn, and who will inherit eternal life. To these, all things will be revealed:
D&C 121: 26-29
"God shall give unto you knowledge by his Holy Spirit, yea, by the unspeakable gift of the Holy Ghost, that has not been revealed since the world was until now;
Which our forefathers have awaited with anxious expectation to be revealed in the last times, which their minds were pointed to by the angels, as held in reserve for the fulness of their glory;
A time to come in the which nothing shall be withheld, whether there be one God or many gods, they shall be manifest.
All thrones and dominions, principalities and powers, shall be revealed and set forth upon all who have endured valiantly for the gospel of Jesus Christ."
These higher revelations never were envisioned to be revealed in the Church of Christ, or the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, for these were each a telestial church. Even in the millennial Church of Christ which will be a terrestrial church, it will not be proper to receive such grand revelations. It will only be in the Church of the Firstborn, which is our only celestial and eternal church, will these great revelations come forth. You are the current head until Jesus Christ comes and takes his rightful place. Therefore, to you we have revealed our great revelations never before given to man. Your revelations are reserved for those valiant souls whom we have chosen as our faithful elect.'"

Doctrine & Covenants 45:3-5
3 Listen to him who is the advocate with the Father, who is pleading your cause before him
4 Saying: Father, behold the sufferings and death of him who did no sin, in whom thou wast well pleased; behold the blood of thy Son which was shed, the blood of him whom thou gavest that thyself might be glorified;
5 Wherefore, Father, spare these my brethren that believe on my name, that they may come unto me and have everlasting life.
98F19-98F22: "Heavenly Father then looked at me, where I consciously was and smiled. I then heard what he was speaking to my replicated self:
'Raphael, the scripture you wrote in your journal from Revelation chapter 5 actually happened in this very throne room! John the Revelator saw this scene here shortly after Jesus Christ completed his great work as the Redeemer of all our children. He was the only one found worthy to open the book with seven seals. Our Beloved Son is also the only one found worthy to return to us. It is only by virtues of his blood he spilt for you and his brothers and sisters that you are found clean. He is the keeper of the gate and pleads your cause before us so that we will accept you back into our presence, not because of your worthiness, but because of him being worthy.
D&C 45:3-5-
"Listen to him who is the advocate with the Father, who is pleading your cause before him-
Saying: Father behold the sufferings and death of him who did no sin, in whom thou was well pleased; behold the blood of thy Son which was shed, the blood of him whom thou gavest that thyself might be glorified.
Wherefore, Father, spare these my brethren that believe on my name, that they may come unto me and have everlasting life." '
This was the message I received tonight in the glorious throne room in God's heavenly temple. I feel so very grateful for Jesus Christ, the great Redeemer, and that he has accepted me and forgiven and cleansed me of my many sins and weaknesses! I feel so privileged to be able to come back in the presence of my Heavenly Parents like I did today and hear their words. I so love them and my Savior Jesus Christ!"
125C37-125C46: "My Father spoke: 'Raphael, I have brought our Son, Jesus Christ, tonight to answer some of your questions about the atonement he wrought for all mankind.
Jesus then stepped forward and addressed me:
'Raphael, I have been asked by our Father to answer your specific questions about my redemptive work for God's children.
1) Raphael, I suffered for all, even for Lucifer and all of his hosts. Our Father and Mother still hold out that some of these will repent and come unto me. We have already received the large group of the refugees of Lucifer come to me and be saved in my light and from Satan's power. They are our faithful servants and live on our celestial orb. There will be many more before the end of the world that will also repent and come unto me, their Great Redeemer.
2) I only suffered for God's children, and not for any of their other creations, like the earth or plants and animals. These have never sinned and therefore never transgressed any eternal law of heaven. They will all be resurrected by my power, since the Father and Mother have designated that I, the Great Redeemer, should initiate the resurrection for all their creations for this eternity. This includes all those who are resurrected to a celestial, terrestrial and telestial glory, not only for the children of God, but for all others of God's creations for this eternity, including plants, animals and the earth.
3) I suffered for all of God's children in 700 distinct periods of suffering, all done in the highest celestial sphere where only my Heavenly Parents and I were located. Each period was very draining and left me very exhausted, even though I had been ordained and commissioned to be the Great Redeemer and even though I also was ordained as a God. The suffering was intense and even though I was God, I suffered and trembled because of pain and suffered both in my body on earth (see D&C 19:16-18) and my replicated spirits in the highest celestial realms. This was a bitter cup for me to experience for each of the 700 periods. It left me exhausted and trembling each time! I received the intense outpouring of light from my Heavenly Parents after each period ended, to prepare me for my next period I would suffer again. I did the suffering all by myself, but my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother infused in me their light between the extended periods of suffering.
4) The law of justice established by our first parent gods states that no spiritually unclean thing may enter into the kingdom of God, into the celestial glory. The children of God had to be purified from all sin and be made pure and holy. My suffering for each one completed the suffering amount required by the law of justice, by one who was holy and without spot. When completed, I received from my Father or Mother their approval that I had sufficiently suffered to satisfy the demands eternal justice after I suffered for each child of God. I then could request of my Father or Mother, at a future time, when and if the recipient of my suffering repented and asked for forgiveness, that they be accepted of God and be made holy by my redeeming blood and suffering I had previously given in love for them. When approved of God, the recipient would then be made holy and pure, without spot.
This is the process of the one who repents and comes unto me to be cleansed:
D&C 45:3-5
"Listen to him who is the advocate with the Father, who is pleading your cause before him-
Saying: Father, behold the sufferings and death of him who did no sin, in whom thou wast well pleased; behold the blood of thy Son which was shed, the blood of him whom thou gavest that thyself might be glorified;
Wherefore, Father, spare these my brethren that believe on my name, that they may come unto me and have everlasting life."
When the Father or Mother gave me their approval, then that child would be then able to have everlasting life and I could cleanse them at a future time by my power and they would be made pure and holy and without spot. They would then be fully redeemed and thus would be able to enter into God's presence in the celestial world.
I suffered the pain of each of our Heavenly Parents' children in this manner: After viewing and accumulating the total sins they committed or would commit in their past, present and future entire existence, I chose on my own to suffer for these accumulated sins. I knew the degree and intensity of the suffering required for payment of those sins, because I am God and had that knowledge given to me for each child of God. I voluntarily agreed to suffer, and then my Father or my Mother placed this sin upon me, upon my spirit. I felt the burden of these sins so very deeply. I knew the sorrows from sin that each experienced or would suffer. I then asked of my Father or Mother that I personally suffer for these heavy sins in my body on earth and my spirit in the higher celestial realms. They agreed, and I suffered until the law of justice for all those accumulated sins and weaknesses were satisfied. This suffering was very tangible, real pain for sin, similar to what you have felt when you sin and feel guilty. I felt that same consequence of sin, only it was by proxy since I did not actually commit the sins. I did, however, feel the pain of remorse, guilt, sorrow, and a deep desire to accept the consequences of sin and be freed of the sin.
2 Nephi 2:6-7
"Wherefore, redemption cometh in and through the Holy Messiah; for he is full of grace and truth.
Behold, he offereth himself a sacrifice for sin, to answer the ends of the law, unto all those who have a broken heart and a contrite spirit; and unto none else can the ends of the law be answered."
Once I suffered these deep, negative pains of emotion, all accumulated at one time for each child of our Heavenly Parents, then my Father or Mother said to me at one point that my suffering was enough suffering for those sins and that the eternal law of justice was fully satisfied for all the sins of that child. I then had satisfied the demands of justice by extending my tender mercy of love in suffering for all of their sins, both in my body and spirit. This caused me great pain and spiritual sorrow, but I endured and completed my sufferings for each child of God, for all of their life from the beginning to the end. I suffered until I had received the approval from our Heavenly Parents that the law was fulfilled and justice had been met.'"

Doctrine & Covenants 45:6
6 Hearken, O ye people of my church, and ye elders listen together, and hear my voice while it is called today, and harden not your hearts;
68A11-68A16, from Heavenly Mother: "'Raphael, today is the revealing of my person and power in the world! I will shed forth more and more my love and light to you and the faithful, as you come to us, your Heavenly Parents. It is very appropriate for our children now to call on our names together when they pray. We will gradually reveal ourselves to them, even in mortality, as they humbly come unto us in faith.
Your words you have written and will write over the years will motivate our elect children to persist in coming to us in deep prayer and meditation. Your words will be revealed when we reveal all things in this, in a day called today, in the days of the coming of your Lord, Jesus Christ:
D&C 64:23 "Behold, now it is called today, until the coming of the Son of Man."
D&C 45:6 "Hearken, O ye people of my church, and ye elders listen together, and hear my voice while it is called today, and harden not your hearts."
Today is the day of my revealing, first to you and our holy angels on the earth, and then to the elect who hear our voice and keep our commandments.
Raphael, what we reveal to you will be read and studied by the faithful in a day not far distant. We have yet much to reveal to you, as fast as you are able to receive. Flow with the pace we now share with you, and you will see greater things yet that we will show you.'
She then extended her left hand to me and I took it in my right hand. I stood and we all then elevated together into the skies above from where they came. I saw that my replicated self went with them to regions unknown, above in the skies of heaven!"

Doctrine & Covenants 45:7
7 For verily I say unto you that I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the light and the life of the worlda light that shineth in darkness and the darkness comprehendeth it not.
89B9-89B14, from Heavenly Mother: "'Raphael, I am glad you came here to our holy house, our temple! This is where I inspired you to come to me tonight! I have shared with you this morning how light energizes our creations and allows them to function, act, move, grow, and so forth. I would like to expand more on this creation process tonight.
When we birthed our spirit children, the intelligence came into me from the Father during our procreation process. This intelligence grew in my womb and was enlarged by the spirit matter from my own body. At this same time, I infused light into the growing fetus so he/she could fully function and grow in the proper order. When I birthed this spirit baby, he/she had been filled with not only spirit matter, but also light that I directed there.
Once our spirit child was born, your Father and I continued to infuse him/her with light. Our infant grew and became eventually a fully-grown spirit son or daughter. There was no time in all of this growth that light was not present.
Without the infusion of light into all such birthing processes of our animals and plants, there could be no growth. The light from the bosom of eternity from our first Gods is therefore redirected by us, who are Gods in our own domains, into every living entity in it. This is the basic power of life of all of our creations, even the power of God, which sustains all the universe. This light comes to us from the immensity of space to our galactic center and then we disperse it to all our locations.
In this eternity, this same light is called the light of Jesus Christ, for all things are done in the name of Our Only Begotten Son.
D&C 84:45-46
"For the word of the Lord is truth, and whatsoever is truth is light, and whatsoever is light is Spirit, even the Spirit of Jesus Christ.
And the Spirit giveth light to every man that cometh into the world; and the Spirit enlighteneth every man through the world, that hearkeneth to the voice of the Spirit."
In this scripture, light is synonymous with Spirit, even the Spirit of Jesus Christ. It is this same substance that comes into our galaxy that we disperse, even light from the immensity of space, from the bosom of eternity. This Spirit or light is created by our first Gods and flows into all the universe, their creations.
In our domain, in this eternity, since we do all things in the name of the Son, all of this light or Spirit is called after his name and power:
D&C 45:7
"For verily I say unto you that I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the light and the life of the world-a light that shineth in darkness and the darkness comprehendeth it not."
For our children, Jesus Christ is truly the beginning and the end, Alpha and Omega, for without him there would be no eternal life of these our children until he ransoms them from the fall, elects them into the Church of the Firstborn, and introduces them to us. All come unto us through him. He also has our same power to direct the light that comes into our galaxy and to all our creations of this eternity. It is truly through him that life is sustained for our eternity, for we do all of this in his name for our children.'"
90C2-90C19, from Heavenly Father: "'Raphael, today I would like to share with you information about darkness. I had introduced you ten days ago all about light. The opposite of light is darkness. Darkness is the absence of light. In the beginning, when there were yet no Gods, all was darkness, for light had not yet been created. Once our first Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother clothed themselves as spirits, with their intelligence inside their spirits, they then created light. This was created even before they created their first child or themselves were resurrected. Once they created light matter from the elements, they also made a way for this light matter to flow into them and become converted into light energy. This allowed them to shine forth in the vast darkness. They learned how to control the level of intensity of this light coming from their persons. They could cause the light to brightly shine or not to shine at all.
All about them was darkness. There was abundance of the elemental matter from which this light was created by them. There were also intelligences among this elemental matter. From these three things: intelligence, elemental matter, and light, they began creating all things. They chose to make their offspring and all things they have since created to have being and be able to function only in the presence of light. This was akin to sending electricity to a light bulb, for the creation of the light bulb couldn't function like it was intended unless electricity flowed to it. Likewise, none of their creations could function without this light that they, our first Gods, would send to them. This is how our first parent Gods created all things and enlivened all things.
At this moment during their first creations, all the universe was darkness except around their own beings, for they had just created light. The darkness pervaded all intelligences and the infinite amount of elemental matter had no intelligence.
Today, there is still part of this vast network of galaxies in their universe that is dark. This darkness exists in two locations: 1) inside the boundaries of their universe, between the multiple galaxies, and 2) outside of their universe in dark space.
Within their universe, the darkness exists in locations found between the galaxies of the Gods. These are distinct locations where the light of our first parent Gods never enters anymore. All other space between the galaxies has light matter flowing now through it, to some galaxy where a couple god are located.
However, these dark locations in between the galaxies have no light matter, for these are the final habitation of the devils who once were the offspring of a couple god. They have all insisted that they were not descendants of these Gods, and they only wanted to rebel and practice evil continually. They have been given kingdoms of no glory, which means their kingdom has no light, but is in complete darkness, even as it was in the beginning before the days of creation.
These devil or evil entities are stripped of all elemental matter at one point, and their base intelligence is confined to these dark regions between the galaxies. Their elemental matter that is stripped from their spirits is sent back to the pool of elemental matter to be reused again. However, their core intelligence has been proven to never be able to be clothed upon again with elemental matter of any sort. These evil intelligences are confined in the darkness, alone and single, never capable to afflict or torment man. They have no power to ever of themselves rise to even contact another intelligence. They are left alone with their own thoughts in eternity, all in complete darkness and the absence of light.
The second area of darkness is outside of the universe of all the creations. In this region, there is no end to space and darkness. This region contains two things: intelligence and elemental matter. This is the region that all Gods come to select intelligence and matter to form their own creations, and then bring them into the universe where they may be filled with the light that comes from our first parent Gods.
The only beings that have power to go beyond the edges or boundaries of the universe are the Gods who have been ordained to this power. Without this ability, there would be no new creations, for all new creations need intelligence and elemental matter, found only outside of the universe.
When we or any other couple Gods go beyond the boundaries of our common universe, we are able to travel there with our full power and light. Even when we go out into the darkness of outer space, the light matter from our first Gods continues to be in us and flow into us. We may, therefore, be in the regions of outer darkness and fully perceive every intelligence and elemental matter source that we may come upon. We perceive who and what they are with our full perceptions and capabilities of being a god. This fulfills the scripture:
D&C 45:7-
"For verily I say unto you that I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the light and the life of the world-a light that shineth in darkness and the darkness comprehendeth it not."
In this scripture, Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son, says he is the beginning and the end. This is talking about god and the power of all the Gods to go forth into darkness of outer space. When we go there, we have light coming from our very beings that shines forth into this darkness. The intelligences that exist there do not know us until we communicate with them. If we don't communicate with them, our light shines in the darkness, and the darkness comprehendeth us not.
The darkness of outer space is not scary or evil, like the darkness that houses the evil intelligences between the galaxies. We never go into these latter dark locations except to place the latest group of evil intelligences from our latest completed eternity. We have the power to create and to destroy. We therefore have the power to remove the intelligence from the elemental matter and place the evil intelligence into these dark confined locations. We do this by the power of god.
D&C 76:44-48
"Wherefore, he saves all except them--they shall go away into everlasting punishment, which is endless punishment, which is eternal punishment, to reign with the devil and his angels in eternity, where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched, which is their torment-
And the end thereof, neither the place thereof, nor their torment, no man knows;
Neither was it revealed, neither is, neither will be revealed unto man, except to them who are made partakers thereof;
Nevertheless, I, the Lord, show it by vision unto many, but straightway shut it up again;
Wherefore, the end, the width, the height, the depth, and the misery thereof, they understand not, neither any man except those who are ordained unto this condemnation."
Raphael, you know of the existence of these dark locations now between the galaxies, but you do not know where these are located. You also don't know of the terrible sufferings that these evil ones have brought upon themselves by their own choices. This suffering is only revealed to those who are made partaker thereof.
You may think that the prison orb is a place of darkness, temporarily holding evil spirits. You might also feel that the bottomless pit is also a place of complete darkness.
However, neither of these two locations are in complete darkness, for we still direct our light to these darkened places. These are our children, and some may still repent and come to our light, by their own choice. It is only in the two locations of darkness that have no light as I have indicated. The darkness of space beyond our universe does, however, have frequent visits from the Gods who are filled with light, but this darkness doesn't comprehend them as I have explained. The darkness between the galaxies does have visits occasionally too, when we, who are Gods, bring the evil intelligences there at the end of each eternity.
Light and darkness are opposites. They exist forever, and will never end. The more you obey us and follow our promptings, the more light, understanding and knowledge we send to you. They more disobedient you are, the more we take away light and truth from you.
Raphael, your mission requires you to be endowed with more and more light, truth and knowledge from us, your Heavenly Parents. We therefore will continue to reveal more and more to you, as fast as you are able to receive it!'
I knelt before my Heavenly Father on the grassy field. Heavenly Father stood before me, in light and power! I felt so receptive to his light that it seemed to beam into my being!
I thanked him for his amazing revelation today on darkness; what beautiful truths too about light and how this all works in the universe! I knew I had received enough this morning to absorb. I asked if I had record this revelation accurately.
Heavenly Father spoke:
'Raphael, you have correctly written all that I have revealed to you. This revelation is reserved for the faithful, and will not be revealed to the wicked.'
I bowed my head in acceptance. I then saw my Heavenly Father no longer, yet I knew he would come back to me if I asked him or at a moment's notice. I closed my prayer and started a new sabbath day!"
201J1-201J2: "I reread what I wrote last night and confirmed with God that it was true. This brought me a lot of joy. In the telestial world where I live, there is a lot of difficulty in finding the truth. We have so many falsehoods in the news, all which seem to be aimed to mislead us and entrap us in the snares of men and devils. Why don't the people ask God if they are being led in the right way?
D&C 46:7
"But ye are commanded in all things to ask of God, who giveth liberally; and that which the Spirit testifies unto you even so I would that ye should do in all holiness of heart, walking uprightly before me, considering the end of your salvation, doing all things with prayer and thanksgiving, that ye may not be seduced by evil spirits, or doctrines of devils, or the commandments of men; for some are of men, and others of devils.""

26 And in that day shall be heard of wars and rumors of wars, and the whole earth shall be in commotion, and mens hearts shall fail them, and they shall say that Christ delayeth his coming until the end of the earth.
27 And the love of men shall wax cold, and iniquity shall abound.
28 And when the times of the Gentiles is come in, a light shall break forth among them that sit in darkness, and it shall be the fulness of my gospel;
29 But they receive it not; for they perceive not the light, and they turn their hearts from me because of the precepts of men.
30 And in that generation shall the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
Sat, Nov 5, 2011
calamities of the last days: wars, earth in commotion, love of men waxing cold, iniquity abounds. However, the fulness of the gospel will break forth and be spread on the earth, but many reject it because of the precepts of men. Then the times of the gentiles are fulfilled.

Doctrine & Covenants 45:26-27,31
26 And in that day shall be heard of wars and rumors of wars, and the whole earth shall be in commotion, and mens hearts shall fail them, and they shall say that Christ delayeth his coming until the end of the earth.
27 And the love of men shall wax cold, and iniquity shall abound.
31 And there shall be men standing in that generation, that shall not pass until they shall see an overflowing scourge; for a desolating sickness shall cover the land.
38F2-38F8: "Heavenly Mother wanted me to write while she spoke:
'Raphael, your Father told you yesterday about war on the horizon. There will also be a fulfillment of calamities on the earth at the beginning of 2017, in increasing numbers. This includes earthquakes, very abnormal weather patterns, the oceans heaving themselves beyond their boundaries, and devastation of all sorts on the earth. Even with these signs, men and women will dismiss these as natural or normal, and not account it to God's hand on the nations.
The scripture in D&C 45:26-27 will also be fulfilled, which reads:
'And in that day shall be heard of wars and rumors of wars, and the whole earth shall be in commotion, and mens hearts shall fail them, and they shall say that Christ delayeth his coming until the end of the earth. And the love of men shall wax cold, and iniquity shall abound.'
Raphael, this will also be the beginning of the gathering of the elect by our angels, and the 144,000 (see Matthew 24:31 and Mark 13:27). You have sounded your trumpet on July 31, 2016 and again on November 25, 2016 with the other archangels at the recent general assembly of heavens angels, in fulfillment of this scripture:
Matthew 24:31: 'And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.'
The day of the work of our holy angels is at hand. Each angel should step-up their effort in connecting with us, their God, to receive direction at our hand.
This message to you today is the great command prophesied to be given to the angels, as spoken of in D&C 38:11-12:
'For all flesh is corrupted before me; and the powers of darkness prevail upon the earth, among the children of men, in the presence of all the hosts of heavenWhich causeth silence to reign, and all eternity is pained, and the angels are waiting the great command to reap down the earth, to gather the tares that they may be burned; and, behold, the enemy is combined.'
Also verse 15: 'Therefore, be ye strong from henceforth; fear not, for the kingdom is yours.'
I looked into the face then of Heavenly Mother, and she was somber and serious. Her cape was no longer breezing, for she had delivered her message. Yet there was a little more she wanted to say:
'Raphael, by the end of this year 2016, we desire all of our holy angels to have increased their vibration level to 50,000 times their normal transfigured state, as you have done. This will be a challenge for all, but this will be required for the missions we give to them in the days ahead.
Give our mortal angels our love! As the world sinks more into darkness, our holy angels will rise in their glory and power to do our work among our children on the earth.'
With this, I looked into her eyes and saw both great compassion and love, yet a firmness and resolve. I looked next into my Heavenly Father's eyes, and his eternity eyes were also very resolved and firm. They were acting as one in their message to me this morning and yesterday. They also wanted me to deliver this message today to all the holy angels, by just sharing it by email to the mortal angels on my list. Once this is published online, I was told that all of the holy angels would read and hear this great message from their Heavenly Parents.
I also felt that the message on war yesterday by Heavenly Father was now ready to be delivered to the angels, since it had been completed with Heavenly Mother's message.""
57K2-57K5: "Heavenly Father immediately spoke to me, and wanted me to write the words he would speak to me:
'Raphael, our son, you have been watching video reports on the recent activity of the sun. Last night you saw a very large coronal mass ejection that happened on 9-10-2017, towards Venus, Mercury and Mars. This was an extremely large eruption on the sun, and was initiated by the presence of Nibiru in the region of these planets. There are many reports of observers on earth who have visibly seen the presence of Nibiru. This star will maneuver in place to be one of the twelve stars of the constellations Virgo and Leo in the skies on the night of September 23rd, 2017, as we have told you earlier.
There are many increased troubles affecting the earth at this time, including floods, hurricanes, forest fires, sunspots and other activities on the sun, and increased earthquakes. These are the beginning of the tribulations on the earth. Soon there will be war, even upon your own land. The scripture will be fulfilled, that all things will be in commotion, and men's hearts will fail them (D&C 45:26-"And in that day shall be heard of wars and rumors of wars, and the whole earth shall be in commotion, and mens hearts shall fail them, and they shall say that Christ delayeth his coming until the end of the earth.", and Luke 21:26-"Mens hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken."). Soon an overflowing scourge and a desolating sickness will cover the land (D&C 45:31-"And there shall be men standing in that generation, that shall not pass until they shall see an overflowing scourge; for a desolating sickness shall cover the land.").
It is important that you, Raphael, and our holy angels are ready to respond to our direction, for you will all soon stand in holy places, even on the land where the New Jerusalem will be built. This will be at a time of great wickedness and destruction upon the land. You will stand in the Missouri area in the celestial realms, in your replicated state. You will have connection between your conscious and unconscious minds as you follow our direction. (See D&C 45:32-"But my disciples shall stand in holy places, and shall not be moved; but among the wicked, men shall lift up their voices and curse God and die.")
You have also wondered about how you mortal angels will communicate with each other during times such as these, when power and electricity are removed for a season. The communication between you will necessarily be done in the celestial realms where you will do your activity. Every mortal angel that desires to be connected to their own replicated celestial unconscious mind needs to learn how to connect their conscious mind to their unconscious mind in the their celestial state. They may do this by meditating and praying, and connecting more fully with us, as you have been doing. This requires time that they set aside for communion with us. We hope they will do so before the current telestial communication channels are removed."
182E2-182E13: "Yesterday I talked on the phone with my sister. We talked about our lives and families. I mentioned looking for signs to be fulfilled, and how the coming calamities would come about. She said that she has completely dismissed any expectation of when things would happen. She knows God is in charge and she doesn't fret or worry about timing of when it may all come about. I felt her attitude was very refreshing, and I wanted to feel this same way. I loved her complete dismissal of wondering 'when' things might happen.
She also said she can't read the news, for it is very negative and confusing. I said that I read things and don't know what is true anymore. If I read one thing, I can search and find just the opposite view somewhere else. There is so much false reporting and divisiveness of what is really going on in our country!
I just read a scripture in D&C 45:26 that matched our day.
D&C 45:26 "And in that day shall be heard of wars and rumors of wars, and the whole earth shall be in commotion, and men's hearts shall fail them, and they shall say that Christ delayeth his coming until the end of the earth."
We should not have the attitude that calamities are delayed, for God will orchestrate things just as they are to be, according to the will of our Gods. I will seek to wait and watch, and drop all my expectations of what God may do, or God's timing.
I came this morning to the circling waters. I drank living water, and sought to be clear and settled. I didn't want any part of my mind to be in commotion. Instead I wanted to have all expectations dropped, and to wait patiently on the Lord (D&C 98:2). This was the prayer of my heart this morning. "The Lord is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him." (Isaiah 30:18).
I prayed for my Heavenly Father to come to me this morning, for this is whom I thought would come. Heavenly Father then appeared before me above the waters! His visage was calm and seemed sure to me somehow. I knew he could definitely see and control the future, and knew of all things.
He spoke to me: 'Raphael, you are correct that the times you are living in are all in commotion. People's hearts are failing them, meaning they are filled with anxiety, unsure of the future, and do not know of false reporting and purposeful disinformation happening at this time.
You are wise to rely on our words, and seek our Spirit to calm all of your troubled mind and heart. We will come to you during these times of commotion and distress. The best way to view the unknown future timing is to wait on us, and dismiss any expectations of the timing of events that you know are prophesied to come. We have purposefully not given specific dates, but more usually talked of seasons or spans of times when things would happen, without all the specifics.'
At this time I saw a fog bank or cloud come from the south, behind my Heavenly Father. It was coming fast and soon encircled both Heavenly Father and me. I continued looking at his face which I could still see, but the rest of his body seemed to be obscured or blocked by the heavy fog. Heavenly Father continued to be smiling and steady before me, even though everything else became white with a foggy cloud.
I looked around and all was white. I couldn't even see the ground on which I was kneeling. I looked back up at Heavenly Father's face and could still see him there.
He spoke again: 'Raphael, continue to look to your Heavenly Mother and me for sure direction and assurance. We will orchestrate all of the coming tribulations in your future, even as we will. We will bring about Zion according to our plans. You need not worry about when all of this will come to pass, but just seek our faces and wait upon us. We will always be near you!'
I felt calm and assured in his words. I knew that the fog represented all of the uncertainty in my current mortal world. However, God is always there beside me, and would never leave my side. My Heavenly Parents would always be a steady and constant influence in my life!"
Sun, Dec 15, 2024
This morning I pondered over verse 26: "and men's hearts shall fail them, and they shall say that Christ delayeth his coming until the end of the earth." This is apparently from a wicked perspective, for JS-Matthew verse 51-53 states: "But if that evil servant shall say in his heart: My lord delayeth his coming, And shall begin to smite his fellow-servants, and to eat and drink with the drunken, The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of".
I have thought about the second coming of Jesus Christ being delayed, and how the wicked will not be prepared for his arrival to the earth. Recently I heard from my Heavenly Father about the timing of the second coming. I recorded this in notes dated Sat, Nov 23, 2024 under D&C 130:14-15. A portion of this is repeated below:
"Raphael, this is your Heavenly Father speaking to your unconscious mind, by my Spirit.
Your Heavenly Mother and I have been waiting for your request. We have heard many of our righteous ones in your country, and from around the world, plead to us in prayer for us to hold back the evil plans of the adversary for a little while longer. As you know, there will be a time when evil will overcome the good in your country and the world, and then we will have no option but to fulfill the words of our prophets that we have inspired concerning the days immediately before the second coming of our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ.
Since you and our elect have asked us in faith, we will now move the day of destruction, planned by the evil ones, and the fulfillment of their sinister plans to a later time. We will also postpone the destructions and calamities upon your land and the world a little longer. We will halt the evil plans of the adversary, even Lucifer, and all of his demons and earthly followers, groups, industries and governments who seek to overthrow the freedom of all lands. We will extend four more years of relative peace in your own country, while your newly elected leaders and good people seek to route out the evil among you.
Raphael, there are many of the elect whom your Heavenly Mother and I have chosen, who need to be taught more fully and prepared for that which will come upon your telestial world as a whirlwind. This extra time of four years will give them the time to further choose to be aligned with the right, hearken to the whisperings of our Spirit, and to be taught from on high.
Raphael, you are still on schedule to complete your online first version of the Book of Raphael, both volumes one and two. This resource will be made available to our elect who hearken to our promptings, and to learn more from our Spirit by reading the words that we have and will continue to reveal to you. We would like you to continue to update this record with our new revelations, as we give them to you. Those who have interest to read and study your words, will primarily be our elect whom we will bring into the terrestrial millennial world, immediately after the second coming of our Beloved Son Jesus Christ. Thus our people will become more knowledgeable and committed in their religion, be further gathered and strengthened spiritually, and be taught by our revelations.
Raphael, the timing of the advent of the Son of Man to the earth, or the second coming of Jesus Christ in the clouds of heaven, is contingent upon the polarizing and wicked conditions of your world. When the righteous are prepared, and the wicked have fully chosen evil, creating a large division between these two groups, then we will be move forward with the last days calamities and destructions.
What is far more important to your Heavenly Mother, Jesus Christ, and me, than the exact timing of the events of the second coming, is the essential eternal ordinance work in our New Jerusalem celestial temple which has already begun! You are continuing, day by day, to administer in your replicated celestial body, the waters of separation ordinance to our elect with Oriphiel, our faithful witness and record-keeper. These newly elected individuals who are admitted as members of the Church of the Firstborn are almost exclusively those who have passed on and have been resurrected. These have all been proven and accepted by Jesus Christ, who has chosen them for entry into the Church of the Firstborn. Whether the millennium will have began or not, these celestial ordinances are moving forward, unaffected by the events of the telestial mortal world in which you live. This is the primary reason why the timing of the second coming of Jesus Christ is not fixed, for we have already set up the very most important event affecting the eternal life of our beloved elect children in the New Jerusalem temple."
I would now say that the delay of the advent of the Son of Man to the earth will be a great blessing to the righteous will prepare diligently. On the other hand, it will be a great pitfall for the wicked who continue in evil ways, paying no heed to warnings from the Spirit.

30 And in that generation shall the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
Sat, Apr 20, 2024
See 1 Nephi 14:14-17, where I inserted this note below:
46L1-46M7:
"Last night I had a very difficult time sleeping. I wondered why I had such a restless sleep last night. Last night, and again this morning, I was in the celestial world, through the forest in Heavenly Mother's gardens, north of the wall of rock with flowers in the rock pockets. I was on the other side of the forest, kneeling on a rock outcropping. I faced north, over a cloudy mist of an area that was unknown to me.
My Heavenly Parents came last night and again this morning, to me in my prayer. I asked this question for some reason:
Q- Is today the last day of the times of the Gentiles, or the period/ fulfillment of the times of the Gentiles? Is this the reason why I was so distressed, unable to sleep last night? A- In answer to the first part of this question, Heavenly Father wanted me to write as he spoke to me. I plan to write the words from his own mouth, now in my journal:
'Raphael, today is the last and final day of the times of the Gentiles, as spoken of in the scriptures. This is the final day of our extending our gospel and plan of happiness to any of the Gentile nations.
Tomorrow will be the beginning of our work, our strange work, and of our act, our strange act. Instead of focusing on all of our children, we will fully turn our efforts, in much more noticeable ways, in saving and rescuing our people, the house of Israel. These are those who are the elect of God, scattered among all nations of the earth. We will also begin in more dramatic ways, the destruction of the Gentile nations, and those who are not the elect of God.
Tomorrow, on 3-16-2017, will begin our work, which will extend to the elect of God. It is also a time that our wrath will be poured out upon the wicked without measure. Destruction, desolation, and calamity of all sorts will fall upon all the nations of the earth starting tomorrow.
Tomorrow we will call on all angels with directions and detailed instructions to their unconscious minds. This marks the beginning of our rescue efforts in saving the elect of God-those whom I have chosen when I harvested my wheat field in the celestial world. Your activity in the spirit realms will greatly increase, as well as that of all my holy angels. The time of preparation is now past, and the time of action is now at hand.
The eyes and face of your Heavenly Mother, of our Beloved Son, and of myself will now be firm and resolute each time you come before us. Our focus will first be to save the elect of God, and secondly in destruction of the wicked, making this world a peaceful place in which these may dwell. All our holy angels are now in place, ready to act on our commands. We will also arm our angels in power and great glory as spoken of in the scriptures.
Raphael, leave open time in your mortal life, for you will be more active in the spiritual realms. Your physical body will be more drained and tired because of your increased workload. Such is true with all of our mortal angels as well.
Watch, and be ready!'
Here is the scriptures referred to above by Heavenly Father:
1 Nephi 14:14-17- "And it came to pass that I, Nephi, beheld the power of the Lamb of God, that it descended upon the saints of the church of the Lamb, and upon the covenant people of the Lord, who were scattered upon all the face of the earth; and they were armed with righteousness and with the power of God in great glory.
And it came to pass that I beheld that the wrath of God was poured out upon that great and abominable church, insomuch that there were wars and rumors of wars among all the nations and kindreds of the earth.
And as there began to be wars and rumors of wars among all the nations which belonged to the mother of abominations, the angel spake unto me, saying: Behold, the wrath of God is upon the mother of harlots; and behold, thou seest all these things
And when the day cometh that the wrath of God is poured out upon the mother of harlots, which is the great and abominable church of all the earth, whose founder is the devil, then, at that day, the work of the Father shall commence, in preparing the way for the fulfilling of his covenants, which he hath made to his people who are of the house of Israel."
I am left to wonder at what I have just written! I feel like I have very much been directed in these words. When I asked in prayer to confirm what I have written, I felt assurance that I recorded and wrote all of this correctly. I feel clearly that this is of God.
11:20 pm: In my evening prayer now, I prayed again to God who was before me, both Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother. I was located this time west of the tree of life, facing east towards the tree, kneeling in the garden area beyond the tree. I was able to see soft and gentle eyes of both my Heavenly Parents. I asked them some questions:
Q- Did I receive all this direction correctly this morning? A- Yes!
Q- Shall I share all of this now that I have written, with the mortal angels? A- Yes! The time of preparations is now completed, and the time of action is at hand. The holy angels will now rise up in 'the power of God and great glory', all done in the spirit realms before God, in their unconscious minds. In their normal body (in their conscious minds), they will appear as normal good people. This is the meaning of this verse (1 Nephi 14:14), that they will now rise up in 'the power of God and great glory'-this will be in their unconscious state, in spirit realms. This is how the strange act, and the work of God, which will mostly move forth among God's children on earth.
My own impressions of this new phase, the day of Israel and of gathering of the elect of God, and of the destructions of the Gentile nations: All this may be immediately or slow in coming, or in any combination God chooses to use. We angels will be receiving our first set of instructions, however, on 3-16-2017 sometime.
This is all very exciting! I suspect too that when I look again into the faces of God, into their eyes, that they will be firm and resolute, focused on saving the elect and destroying the wicked. I will wait and see!
Q- What percentage of this strange work and act will be done in the unconscious state of man, in the spirit realms? A- 98%! God desires also to do his work in a large part, in secret before mankind.
R's Personal Journal Entry, 3-16-2017, Thursday
After my prayer last night, I was musing on how God would do his work in the spirit realms by using his angels. I felt that this is no change at all! For it has always been done this way, in secret, that angels above have mostly ministered to mankind! This is a continuation of the pattern since the beginning. Practically all of the interaction between angels and mankind has been hidden from the view of mortals. Angels operate on a celestial level, and those in mortality are in a telestial state-so naturally they wouldn't be able to see them operate! It takes very refined and pure eyes to see them, or anything celestial for that matter, when one is in mortality.
It now makes perfect sense that this will be the mode of operation for God to continue to do his strange work and act, in these last days too. If angels do need to appear, it may likely be still in-cognito, like the prayer visions were.
Also, today I awoke much more refreshed and calm. I am so glad! Yesterday I was 'off' all day, feeling something was up but not sure what it was. Even my concerned wife noticed this in me.
When I began my morning prayer today, around 8:30 am, I was in the garden area west of the tree of life, facing west. Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother came. I looked into their eyes and faces. Their eyes were no longer gentle, with soft, compassionate eyes. Instead, they were more firm and determined, it seemed, in all of their interactions with me. When I also prayed to them at first, I met them with my sword of Raphael raised high in my right hand, with my right arm above my head. I soon sheathed my sword just before I started to address them. Please note that I did not consciously try or even think to do this-it just happened and I observed this. It seems that I was very much more in a readiness stance today. I was also fully clothed in my angelic healing and protection vestures, ready for action. I hadn't been noticing this (that I had been wearing my vestures) so much in the recent past, but today it was very evident that there was a change. I feel now is the time for action and obedience to God, and not the day of many words.
Q- Is today, 3-16-2017, the beginning day when, as Nephi says in 1 Nephi 14:17 "at that day, the work of the Father shall commence, in preparing the way for the fulfilling of his covenants, which he hath made to his people who are of the house of Israel."? A- Yes, today starts that day. The day of extending to the Gentiles is now past. This is the day when God extends all day long for his people, the elect of God who are scattered in all the nations of the earth. The big effort will be to bring as many as will come to the New Jerusalem, which will soon be built in the center of the land.
During my prayer, I also noticed that Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother now wore a red scarlet sash around their robes. I suspect they will continue to wear this until the second coming of their Beloved Son in glory. I feel we are in a new phase of their work now too. I feel ready and very active in all that I do now, in the spirit realms, in working directly for them. I feel there are arrays of angels too, both mortal and non-mortal, who are poised and ready to act. Today is the day of their first instructions!
I also was listening to M.S.'s podcast today while feeding our chickens, An Eye of Faith, and was impressed with this quote from Joseph Smith that he gave:
"All things whatsoever God in his infinite wisdom has seen fit and proper to reveal to us, while we are dwelling in mortality, in regard to our mortal bodies, are revealed to us in the abstract, and independent of affinity of this mortal tabernacle, but are revealed to our spirits precisely as though we had no bodies at all; and those revelations which will save our spirits will save our bodies. God reveals them to us in view of no eternal dissolution of the body, or tabernacle." (The King Follett Discourse)
I find it interesting Joseph's choice of words, particularly "in the abstract", for that is how I see into the spiritual realms too! I believe that all my revelations and directions from God have been done in this manner. I hear and view God in what I call my unconscious mind, which is really my eternal spirit absorbing all of the truth, and then transferring it to my mortal conscious mind, where I can understand it in my mortal tabernacle."

Doctrine & Covenants 45:31-33
31 And there shall be men standing in that generation, that shall not pass until they shall see an overflowing scourge; for a desolating sickness shall cover the land.
32 But my disciples shall stand in holy places, and shall not be moved; but among the wicked, men shall lift up their voices and curse God and die.
33 And there shall be earthquakes also in divers places, and many desolations; yet men will harden their hearts against me, and they will take up the sword, one against another, and they will kill one another.
123B5-123B10, from Heavenly Mother: "'Raphael, there are many plagues and sicknesses that we allow to come forth upon the earth to cleanse the inhabitants of the wicked. However, the specific desolating sickness is one that will affect all people in your land because of the poisonous food and water sources:
D&C 45:31-32 "And there shall be men standing in that generation, that shall not pass until they shall see an overflowing scourge, for a desolating scourge shall cover the land.
But my disciples shall stand in holy places, and shall not be moved, but among the wicked, men shall lift up their voices and curse God and die."
Also Isaiah 28:15 "Because ye have said, we have made a covenant with death, and with hell are at agreement, when the overflowing scourge shall pass through it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehoods have we hid ourselves."
The overflowing scourge is referring to the multiple increased sicknesses and chronic conditions caused directly by GMO foods, high glyphosate, and other poisoning caused from chemicals used to fertilize, kill insects and other pests, and preserve the foods for long shelf life once they are processed and placed in stores and restaurants for people to consume. Every part of the physical body may be affected to cause all manner of severe health issues. People are just now becoming aware of these issues through scientific studies that prove these things. Only by eating clean foods that are organically grown and free from genetic engineering (GMO) will they be able to fully reverse the severe poisoning in their own bodies. Fasting may also help cleanse the body of poisons. Drinking pure water and watching carefully what they consume will be the only way to avoid the overflowing scourge that is sweeping across your own land and the world. There have been powerful companies with conspiring men and women, who have colluded with approving government sources to allow this great evil to secretly come upon the people. Without my light coming forth upon the earth to counter these great pollutions, none of their flesh would be saved:
JS Matthew 1:20-"And except these days should be shortened, there should none of their flesh be saved, but for the elect's sake, according to the covenant, those days shall be shortened."
Raphael, the great deception also lies in the fact that people cannot tell by their observation what foods are poisoned or not. They need to be tested in laboratories for specific poison levels to find out which is safe to consume. Your safest choice is with GMO free and organic food sources, and those like your own organic garden that you know how it was grown. It is not enough for you to be infused with my intense light of the Holy Ghost to physically remove the sources of pollution, Our people need to take full control of their own health and well-being, or suffer more and more desolating sicknesses and severe health issues.'"
152D15-152D21: "I came to the knoll area just east of the circling waters where I often go on the celestial orb, particularly during the sacrament. After the priest blessed the bread, Heavenly Mother came directly in front of me on the knoll where I was kneeling. I immediately made my covenant with her: 'Oh my Heavenly Mother, I take upon me by covenant the name of Jesus Christ, your Beloved Son, to always remember you and my Father, and to keep your commandments.'
Heavenly Mother replied: 'Raphael, we accept your covenant, and we will always be next to you.
I am here today to testify also to you that the words of your Heavenly Father that you have written this morning in your journal are true. Great calamities are coming upon the earth this year. The pandemic that is now starting is the great overflowing scourge spoken of in the scriptures (see Isaiah 28:15-19, D&C 45:31-32, given below).
Isaiah 28:15-19
"Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:
Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.
From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report."
D&C 45:31-32
"And there shall be men standing in that generation, that shall not pass until they shall see an overflowing scourge; for a desolating sickness shall cover the land.
But my disciples shall stand in holy places, and shall not be moved; but among the wicked, men shall lift up their voices and curse God and die."
verything is now in a readiness state for our terrestrial mortal elect children on the earth. These tribulations will shake their world, causing our elect to pour out their hearts to us their Gods. When they are humbled, open and receptive, we will answer their prayers and become more available and closer to them than ever before. Then we will give them personal direction and revelation. We will whisper to them by our still small voice. We will protect our own according to our will for their lives.
Among the remainder of the peoples of the earth, millions will die and the institutions and governments of men will fall. This is all part of the cleansing of the earth that begins as a whirlwind. (see D&C 112:23-24- "Verily, verily, I say unto you, darkness covereth the earth, and gross darkness the minds of the people, and all flesh has become corrupt before my face. Behold, vengeance cometh speedily upon the inhabitants of the earth, a day of wrath, a day of burning, a day of desolation, of weeping, of mourning, and of lamentation; and as a whirlwind it shall come upon all the face of the earth, saith the Lord.") It has now begun on the earth.'"
154E3-154E8: "Heavenly Father then spoke:
'Raphael, the coronavirus that is spreading rapidly over your own land was initiated in heaven by the other angel who held the golden censer, who filled it with the fire of the golden altar in front of our temple in the distance. He cast it to the earth as is recorded in Revelation 8:3-5-
"And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.
And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angels hand.
And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake."
Soon the earth will convulse with predicted devastations on her surface. It is time for our elect to stand in holy places, or be gathered to their own homes or places of refuge"
D&C 45:31-33:
"And there shall be men standing in that generation, that shall not pass until they shall see an overflowing scourge; for a desolating sickness shall cover the land.
But my disciples shall stand in holy places, and shall not be moved; but among the wicked, men shall lift up their voices and curse God and die.
And there shall be earthquakes also in divers places, and many desolations; yet men will harden their hearts against me, and they will take up the sword, one against another, and they will kill one another." '
He turned to me and spoke again:
'Raphael, it is good that you continue to stay home now, and reiterate to those on your email list to stay home and stand in holy place of refuge in their own dwellings.'
I said I would stay home, and alert them again. He said that the ravages of this plague would be especially devastating on my country. He said that my own country would soon look like Wuhan, China and Italy in not many days. This would be the start of the devastations on the land, and would come upon us as a whirlwind (see D&C 112:24-26)."
163E2-163E18: "I reread S's email this morning, and the references he had to Genesis 18:23-33, and D&C 45:31-33. I wondered about the great wickedness in some of the cities of our land, how there are many cities of our land ripe for destruction. S was told that there are so few righteous that those cities will not be spared. He said large numbers of God's children would be removed by the earthquakes and destructions in the contour and face of the land. I read that the Lord would spare the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah if there were even ten people who were righteous, but there weren't even ten, for these cities were destroyed.
I then read D&C 84:114-115, when the Lord spoke of the city of New York, Albany, and Boston. He said to "warn the people of those cities with the sound of the gospel, with a loud voice, of the desolation and utter abolishment which await them if they do reject these things. For if they reject these things, the hour of their judgment is nigh, and their house shall be left unto them desolate."
I wondered about any few who were righteous in those cities, if they would be protected? I had also read in D&C 45:32, about the desolating sickness coming to the land, that "my disciples shall stand in holy places, and shall not be moved; but among the wicked, men shall lift up their voices and curse God and die."
These things were all in my mind as I approached God in humble and open prayer this morning.
I then came to a place in my mind, in the inner city of some large US city. I was a little above this ghetto in the air, in the celestial realms on the earth. I could clearly see all that was happening in this wicked district of this city.
I then knelt in the air and asked my Heavenly Father to come to me. He came immediately, in bright glory before me! I felt the fire of his glory, great light, passing through me, even as if I wasn't there. I still beheld his fiery face, particularly his eternity eyes that seemed full of justice and great power. He was somber and intent on something it seemed.
Heavenly Father then spoke: 'Raphael, we are in the celestial realms on your earth above a wicked city of your nation. The inhabitants of this city are wicked and of the telestial world except for a few, less than ten required of Jesus Christ when he spoke to Abraham about the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. This city below us has reached the same level of evil as those ancient cities, and they will be destroyed.
The very few righteous that remain in these cities have been elevated to be terrestrial mortals. For these few, they stand in holy places which is in their own dwellings. If they do not respond to our promptings to leave this wicked city, we will still be merciful to them. There is a great darkness that has enveloped all of your land, and particularly the large cities like this one. Many of our elect are still in these cities, and will remain even until we destroy these cities. Some of these elect will perish, but most will be spared, even as was Rahab and her father's household who dwelt in Jericho (see Joshua 6:25). Just as clearly as the destroying armies of Joshua saw the scarlet thread in the window, and spared Rahab and her household, so clearly will the angel of destruction see our elect having the corona flame about them in their bodies, and spare them in the destructions coming to their cities. This will then fulfill the scripture in D&C 45:32, where the people around these spared elect will curse God and die, while the elect stand in holy places.'
I was kneeling before my majestic Heavenly Father in the air above this wicked city. I then saw below us, an angel of destruction come also above the city, and raise his right arm in the air. The power and strength of the Father then came into and passed through this angel to the city and its inhabitants. Great destruction and death came to those in this city, even to their utter destruction. I saw that S's words in his email that the large earthquakes "will remove large numbers of (God's) children from the face of the earth."
I saw other cities of our land also being destroyed. Heavenly Father took me higher above the land, so I could see the curvature of the earth, and the United States below me. I saw flashes of light around the land, in populated areas primarily. It was nighttime.
Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, these flashes of light are the wicked cities of your own land that are being destroyed, for they have reached a high level of wickedness, even as Sodom and Gomorrah were wicked. We will spare the righteous mostly who dwell in those cities, but the wicked will perish in large numbers.
When S saw that the light and glory of my presence destroyed him and the tree of life, this was representative of what will happen to these cities and the wicked. I will cleanse your land, and then the entire world, of all who are telestial, and spare the terrestrial elect whom I have chosen.
At a future day, in the millennium, my righteous shall enlarge the places of their habitations, and inherit some parts of these desolated cities:
Isaiah 54:2-3-
"Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes.
For thou shalt break forth on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited." (see also 3 Nephi 22:2-3)
I faced my Heavenly Father who was no longer full of intense fire and indignation. I spoke: 'My Father, I thank you for the confirming vision of what S saw, and more. I pray for the safety and well-being of your elect scattered on the earth. I pray that I may be able to protect them, for I know I have been replicated many times over, and stand as a sentinel or guard over them, even with my sword of Raphael unsheathed (see my post 151B26-151B31). May I help in preserving them also during the days of destruction coming upon the wicked, that these, your elect, may largely be protected and saved, even in their mortal bodies?'
Heavenly Father smiled and spoke: 'Raphael, you will protect and spare all of the elect that we inspire you to save from the destructions around them! You are already in place among each of our elect, in your replicated bodies, in the celestial realms on the earth. Protect them with my power that I have given to you with your sword of Raphael. Extend your sword of protection above these elect that I tell you to spare, and I will spare them, even as Rahab in Jericho. They will then be allowed to inhabit our new millennial earth, filled with others of my elect that I have chosen.
For those few elect who are not spared, I do this for my own purposes, that they may minister to me in the paradise of God in the world of the spirit dead.'"
Mon, Apr 22, 2024
The escape of the elect from devastations is to stand in holy places (homes of the righteous saints). This might also include until nuclear fallout is past. See Isaiah 28:15.
See also my own promises extended from the Father in my notes in Genesis 49:26.

Doctrine & Covenants 45:32-33
32 But my disciples shall stand in holy places, and shall not be moved; but among the wicked, men shall lift up their voices and curse God and die.
33 And there shall be earthquakes also in divers places, and many desolations; yet men will harden their hearts against me, and they will take up the sword, one against another, and they will kill one another.
144H9-144H16, from Heavenly Mother: "She then spoke to me: "Raphael, my son, your land is in turmoil, and there are many disputations and harsh arguments across your land. Industries and groups of similar minded people have largely dropped their personal values of integrity and honesty, and the people in your land are hardly caring much anymore about all of this, as long as they have their cell phones.
You live in the time spoken of by our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ:
Joseph Smith Matthew 1:28-30.
"And they shall hear of wars, and rumors of wars.
Behold I speak for mine elect's sake; for nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
And again, because iniquity shall abound, the love of men shall wax cold; but he that shall not be overcome, the same shall be saved.
We purposefully don't reveal precise dates when calamities will come like the whirlwind of leaves that you experienced last night in the birch tree grove. We do, however, give many signs that our elect may clearly see.
Joseph Smith Matthew 1: 39-40,46-48,55-
So likewise, mine elect, when they shall see all these things, they shall know that he is near, even at the doors;
But of that day, and hour, no one knoweth; no, not the angels of God in heaven, but my Father only.
And what I say unto one, I say unto all men; watch, therefore, for you know not at what hour your Lord doth come.
But know this, if the good man of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to have been broken up, but would have been ready.
Therefore be ye also ready, for in such an hour as ye think not, the Son of Man cometh.
When the days of calamity erupt on the earth, like the tornado of leaves you saw last night in your prayer, our disciples will be ready. Their bodies will be changed to a terrestrial level, and most of them will "stand in holy places, and shall not be moved; but among the wicked men shall lift up their voices and curse God and die." (see D&C 45: 32).
The holy places are where our elect are located and gathered, for they hear our voice, our still small voice, and keep our commandments. We will preserve them by our matchless power and protection!
Raphael, continue what you are doing, by steadily receiving our revelations and recording them in your posts. We wish you to print up your posts by the end of the year also, and then share your printable PDF's with those of your small group of followers. They then will each have opportunity to refer back to our words we have revealed to you.
Let every one of our faithful sons and daughters prepare every needful thing, even as we will inspire them!""
151J2-151J6, from Heavenly Father: "'My son, you have been worried about the coming plague that will sweep the nations of the world. This is a manmade virus and was intended to kill many of the masses, designed by evil men and nations. However, we have now protected our terrestrial elect so that they will have additional strength to withstand these virulent sicknesses that will destroy many of the inhabitants of the earth.'
He then turned and moved his left arm in the air over the wheat field behind him. Then he spoke again to me:
'Raphael, you see that my field is harvested and that there are no more of my elect wheat left in this field. What remains are the tares of the earth that need to be destroyed. The plagues and other destructions will cleanse my field so that, after the burning of my field, I may again plant my millennial elect in this field. This will be once Jesus Christ, my Beloved Son, comes to the earth in glory and you remove Satan and his hosts to the bottomless pit. Then the world will change to its destined terrestrial environment, and welcome the arrival of our terrestrial elect.
Those elect now on the earth have been gathered into my garners (see Joseph Smith Translation Matthew 3:39: "And it is he of whom I shall bear record, whose fan shall be in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but in the fullness of his own time will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire."). They are elevated to a terrestrial mortal state already, and have greater strength to withstand the rigors of the calamities coming on the earth. They also have the increased healing light from your Heavenly Mother to remain with them continually, to guard them further against the coming plagues. Finally, they have you as our protective and healing angel of light next to them, even in the celestial realms, with your sword of Raphael unsheathed to protect them from Satan or even other calamities. My elect are now in safe garners, and the world you live in is ready to be cleansed and prepared for the glorious millennial day of peace and rest.
You have reached a point in your mortal state where you are prepared and ready for that which is to come. This is what is meant by standing in holy places. There will be times also when you and our elect will know by our Spirit when to "enter into they chambers, and shut thy doors about thee" (see Isaiah 26:20), even when the world about you is being cleansed and destroyed.
It is better for you to occupy your mind with reviewing all that your Heavenly Mother and I have revealed to you in your posts, than by following the abundant stories in the news about the spreading destructions upon humanity and the earth. You may stay informed about the spreading pandemic, but don't spend lots of time following these stories, for we want your mind dwelling on our revelations and truths we have given to you. Enjoy your life and make this year a wonderful, happy time for you and your loved ones! We will always be next to you as we have promised and will fill you with happiness and purpose.'"
183F3-183F6, from Heavenly Mother: "She spoke: 'Raphael, our anger is kindled against those who have agreed to ignore the truth in the election votes. They are jointly planning harm against those who actively supported President Trump and the principles of fairness and the checks and balances as found in the US constitution. They are actively in communication with the Chinese leaders, and conspiring to quickly overturn the affairs of the government. They are recklessly drunken with their newly supposed power to destroy their opposition. They want to quickly establish their power, and to do so in secrecy. Satan and his evil followers now have full reign in their lives, causing them to act in erratic ways, having lost their sense of decency and reason. We will allow them to fulfill their evil plans for a season as part of their indictment, and to initiate the cleansing in the land of the ungodly and wicked.
I am sharing this with you in part because of the promises to you by Heavenly Father last night, that you and some of our elect would be told hours and days before these things occur. Since these acts of darkness and great evil are done in secrecy, you will not read about them in the news. Nevertheless, our faithful can know of them through our Spirit that whispers truth to their minds and hearts. You will soon see the effects of these evil alliances and decisions in the overthrow of your nation.
Stand in holy places, and be not moved. We will continually be by your side to guide and protect you and our faithful elect.
D&C 45:32-33
"But my disciples shall stand in holy places, and shall not be moved; but among the wicked, men (and women) shall lift up their voices and curse God and die.
And there shall be earthquakes also in diverse places, and many desolations; yet men (and women) will harden their hearts against me, and they will take up the sword, one against another, and they will kill one another." '(words in parentheses from Heavenly Mother)."

Thu, Apr 18, 2024
This is one of the signs of the second coming and the battle of the great marriage supper of the lamb in the mountains of the country Israel. I don't believe the sun darkening and the moon turning to blood is meant to be aligned with that time. The scripture says "before the day of the Lord shall come", which leaves the timing uncertain in these verses.

Sun, Nov 26, 2023
This is the second coming of Christ to Jerusalem at the Mount of Olives.
11-26-2023 At sacrament meeting today, after I made my covenant and partook of the bread in our home ward, I received the following from my Heavenly Parents: At Christ's second coming, the male archangels will assemble in the sky, parted of each side towards the earth. Then the elect of God from all ages of earth's history, those who have died (many will be resurrected at this time too, see verse 45-46), those living on earth, and those yet unborn (premortal spirits), will come above and to the sides of the archangels. These will come from the four quarters of the earth (see verse 46). Once all are assembled, then Michael will blow his single note on his trump, followed by the other six archangels. Jesus Christ will then make his appearance between these angels, and together they will all descend to the earth.
I assume that all the rest of the holy angels of heaven will also be assembled in their ranks and positions, on the outskirts of the male archangels. However, I believe it is only the male archangels who have trumps of God to blow at this time.
141C24-141C28, from Heavenly Father: "You wondered if you too should eat only wholesome positive food like we told M.A.. Wholesome foods will enhance your terrestrial state and make you more perceptive and feel better. You will become more in tune to how foods affect your strength, vitality, and spiritual and mental clarity. Those which are from whole foods, without many life-destroying additives will be good for you, even as we inspire you.
We also will extend to you a similar blessing of radiating light to those who come close to you as we are doing for M.A.. The evil spirits will of necessity depart when you come near another mortal who has them attached to their being. We desire you to convey to our children our love and acceptance of them and thoughts of how precious they are to us, their loving Heavenly Parents. You need not voice this, but just think it, for these thoughts and feelings to be conveyed in the light we will send through you.
For some of our elect sons and daughters, we will also give them unique and abundant gifts of the Spirit as they become elevated to a terrestrial level. We desire for them to freely share their gifts, even as we inspire them.
Come, like yourself, will be more filled with powers to heal and bless. Others will have increased gifts of foresight, or of the ability to see into the hearts of the children of men who are around them. Others will have an increased abundance of love, and others greater understandings and discernment. These will all be poured out upon our elect who are our chosen children who will come into our terrestrial millennial world. These will all meet our Beloved Son in the clouds of heaven when he comes in his glory to the earth.
The elect are our remnant as spoken in D&C 45:43-45:
"And the remnant shall be gathered unto this place;
And then they shall look for me, and, behold, I will come; and they shall see me in the clouds of heaven, clothed with power and great glory; with all the holy angels; and he that watches not for me shall be cut off.
But before the arm of the Lord shall fall, an angel shall sound his trump, and the saints that have slept shall come forth to meet me in the cloud.""

Doctrine & Covenants 45:44
129E3-129E12, from Jesus Christ: "He placed his right hand on my left shoulder and spoke to me: 'Raphael, you are acting as an Elias to prepare the way for my coming to the earth. Even as John the Baptist was a forerunner to my first coming, even so will you be a forerunner to my second coming in glory. You will prepare the way before me by establishing the New Jerusalem and the Church of the Firstborn both to be specifically established for my faithful elect whom I have and will choose as heirs of my kingdom, even of the celestial. Your work as my archangel in these last days is in the celestial realms, and not in the telestial or terrestrial. There are others who will prepare the way before me in those realms of glory.
When I come in my glory, I will come in great celestial glory to the inhabitants of the earth. At that time, the wicked, who are of the telestial will die, but I will quicken the terrestrial to be able to withstand my glory, so that they may transition into the terrestrial millennial day. I will take up my residence in the New Jerusalem that you will begin to build.
Raphael, your Father told you last night that your mission is one of transitioning from your telestial world to the terrestrial and to establish the celestial on the earth. Your Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother will guide you continually in your great mission. I have redeemed you, and you are clean before me. You will act in our authority and power. You will lead our holy angels in the wonderful work they do in the celestial realms of the earth.
Remember, all of our holy angels who will have worked so diligently in the celestial realms of glory to prepare the way for my coming, will then descend with me in great celestial glory as I come in the clouds of heaven to the earth.
D&C 45:44
"And then they shall look for me, and, behold, I will come; and they shall see me in the clouds of heaven, clothed with power and great glory; with all the holy angels; and he that watches not for me shall be cut off."
Raphael, even as you were quickened to our celestial glory in your energy class in April 2013 in order to see us, your Gods, even so will all the terrestrial on the earth in mortality and in the spirit world be quickened to a celestial glory in order to see my coming. My faithful elect will join me in the clouds of heaven, in the celestial realms as we descend together to our new earth. The wicked, who are of the telestial, will see me in glory but will not be quickened to the celestial, and will not survive the great day of my coming in glory to the earth. They will die and be placed in prison in the world of the spirits, awaiting their resurrection at the end of the millennium.
our work in preparing for my return is to be in the celestial realms on the earth, assisted by all of our holy celestial angels and celestial servants who have been called. Your joint work is to help us save and protect our elect, those whom I have chosen and will choose for heirs to my Church of the Firstborn, and receivers of eternal celestial glory in time.
You now feel weak and not up to this great mission. However, we will strengthen you and those who assist you so that you may fulfill our every desire for you! Trust in God, and you will serve well beyond your own ability, for we will buoy you up to fulfill all of your glorious mission!'
I bowed my head in reverence to my great Redeemer. I spoke: 'My Savior, Jesus Christ, I accept your great commission that you and my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother have given me! I feel very inadequate, but I have faith that I will be strengthened to meet the demands of my calling. I ask you to cleanse and strengthen the angels and celestial servants to also step up to their great callings in the celestial realms where all of our work will be done. Oh, we love you, our Savior Jesus Christ! We will be true and faithful!'
Jesus smiled upon me and pulled me up off my knees. He embraced and kissed me! I felt his deep love for all of God's children. I knew he had suffered and died for each one!"

Doctrine & Covenants 45:45
45 But before the arm of the Lord shall fall, an angel shall sound his trump, and the saints that have slept shall come forth to meet me in the cloud.
63H2-63H10, from Jesus Christ: "I then remembered a question from M.A. about the resurrection. She had the thought that the resurrection of the righteous had continued after his resurrection, even until now. I asked him about this.
He then asked me to read what the scriptures spoke of. I opened my LDS Tools on my phone and read every verse in the topical guide to the scriptures, the bible dictionary and the guide to the scriptures on the resurrection. I then realized there would be a shout of an archangel and also a sounding of a trumpet of an angel prior to those who were in their graves to be awakened and resurrected. I knew Moroni was resurrected, but that he died after Christ was resurrected. I believe that Joseph Smith, too, was resurrected. I then wondered why the three Nephites and John the Beloved weren't resurrected, but translated, awaiting the day of their resurrection until later.
Jesus then asked me to write the words he would speak to me. Here are his words:
'Raphael, after I was resurrected, being the first fruits of the dead who were resurrected, there was a general first resurrection of the righteous who had died up to that time. The visions shown to President Joseph F. Smith in D&C 138:12-19, 51, are accurate. These just and holy spirits were the ones who came forth first as a group in the resurrection of the just.
Since that time there have been others who have also been resurrected. These include Moroni and Joseph Smith, both who died in mortality. They couldn't be translated, but were resurrected, also as part of the First Resurrection, or the resurrection of the just. There have been others who have been resurrected since my own resurrection, each for various reasons and missions. However, the far greater part of the just are not yet resurrected, but reside in the paradise of God in the world of the spirits.
There will be a general resurrection of those who are just who reside in the paradise of God at the time of my second coming to the earth (D&C 45:45). These look forward to the time of their resurrection like those did when I met them in the spirit as explained in D&C 138. At the sound of the trumpet of God, these will come forth as newly resurrected souls to meet me in the clouds of heaven as I descend to the earth in my glorious second coming.
After I come to the earth to rule and reign on the earth for one thousand years, there will also be those who are resurrected. When the just die, they will immediately be resurrected, all through the millennial day.
At the end of the millennium, after all the righteous are resurrected to a celestial glory, the angel will sound again his trump of God and the remainder of the dead will all come forth in the second resurrection (D&C 29:26). This will be for those who do not attain the glory of the celestial, but are of the terrestrial and the telestial. These will stand to be judged of their works at that time.
There has been a large group of translated souls like yourself, who will not be resurrected until later. These are translated for a mission they have which requires translation. Enoch and his group are translated and will be resurrected at my second coming. The mortal angels will remain translated throughout the millennial day and will be resurrected at the end of the thousand years. There will be others who receive their translation or resurrection at various times, depending on their assignments and mission. My Beloved Son, John the Beloved, will be resurrected at the beginning of the millennium.
Raphael, we wish for you and the holy mortal angels to administer the ordinances for the Church of the Firstborn in your translated mortal state. You will administer to many who are resurrected. These ordinances are to be part of the terrestrial earth in the celestial city of the New Jerusalem with those who are translated to a celestial state. This is the reason why you and the mortal angels will need to wait until the end of the millennium to receive your glorious celestial resurrections.'"

Doctrine & Covenants 45:45-47
45 But before the arm of the Lord shall fall, an angel shall sound his trump, and the saints that have slept shall come forth to meet me in the cloud.
46 Wherefore, if ye have slept in peace blessed are you; for as you now behold me and know that I am, even so shall ye come unto me and your souls shall live, and your redemption shall be perfected; and the saints shall come forth from the four quarters of the earth.
47 Then shall the arm of the Lord fall upon the nations.
Thu, Apr 18, 2024
The Saints who have died and are now resurrected, will be gathered to Christ at His coming at the mount of Olives. The resurrection is not said to be at the same time as the gathering of the Saints to Christ from the four quarters of the earth. It is my opinion the resurrection is done earlier at the great Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
Those that come with Christ in the clouds, at the second coming, are all of the elect, both mortal, resurrected, and yet to be born. These consist of terrestrial and celestial, who still may need to diligently labor to be proven by Jesus Christ to be brought into the Church of the Firstborn. These include the elect mortal terrestrial and celestial saints, who are privileged to enter into the millennium. These are those who have been invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb, prior to the second coming of Jesus Christ. Those who are terrestrial will shed their telestial garments and robe terrestrial garments. They will also have a banquet of terrestrial food. All that is telestial shall finally depart at this great banquet. See details in 146H27-146H35, given below:
"146H27-146H35 I saw the same humble and poor in heart people as this morning, but so many more! The banquet hall was filled and everyone had on a beautiful white linen robe, which I understood was the wedding garment for all the attendees (see Matthew 22:11-14). We were all standing, for we had finished the great feast, had washed up and been clothed in these special robes. The tables and chairs in the great hall had all been cleared away. We were looking to the east door of the room with great anticipation, for this is where the Bridegroom would enter!
Heavenly Mother spoke to me while I was standing next to her (I don't think the others around us could see her, but I did.) 'Raphael, our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, who alone was worthy and took upon himself the sins of all mankind, has washed each one of these elect in this great hall with his own blood! Your Father and I have accepted his great offering, and have accepted these, our faithful elect, into our presence, or would soon do so. These elect are from all ages of time of those who have ever lived on earth, who live in mortality, or who would someday live on the earth or be born on the earth. These are all of our elect of God whom the Father has chosen! These are all in this banquet hall. Watch now, and be ready, for the Bridegroom comes in an hour that you know not.'
I turned and looked on the faces of the faithful who were standing next to me. They were waiting with great expectation for the Son of Man to burst forth into the room from the east door in the great hall.
I noticed that all the doors to the outside of the hall had been shut and secured. I saw angels who stood as sentinels above the doors, to protect anyone from entering who might try to enter.
Heavenly Mother then took me by the hand again and we were instantly in her higher celestial realm. She brought me up above the crowd and near the front of the hall, near the east door. It was a gold door, trimmed with jewels, and the door frame was very beautifully decorated.
Suddenly the door opened and Jesus Christ stepped forward into the hall above all the crowd, so all could easily see him! He wore a gold crown that shone brightly, and a scarlet red robe and sash. His cape of the same color was blowing behind him and in every way he was extremely majestic and powerful!
Everyone in the banquet hall immediately came to their bended knees and bowed their heads! I looked down where I had been and I saw myself among the congregation on my knees, whereas in the higher celestial realm I was holding onto Heavenly Mother's hand still.
Suddenly we were all in the clouds of heaven above the earth! Jesus Christ was in front, with his archangels flanking him on both sides, then with all the holy angels. The vast congregation in the banquet hall were all next, on both sides, above and below those next to Jesus Christ. The entire host of the elect of God were there, all in their wedding garments! It was an amazing sight! I was no longer with my Heavenly Mother, but next to my archangel brothers and sisters, behind Jesus Christ in the clouds of heaven.
Jesus then came to the earth in great glory and power! I did not see any further events or happenings. I was deeply moved by the grandeur of the wedding feast of the Lamb, of the glorious entry into the banquet hall among all of the elect first, and then of his powerful entry in the clouds of heaven above the earth!
As I close my prayer tonight, my mind is whirling with this vision I've experienced! I feel so humbled to have felt these things, as they come with deep impressions in my soul. I thanked my Heavenly Mother for revealing such great things to me tonight!"

Doctrine & Covenants 45:47
47 Then shall the arm of the Lord fall upon the nations.
127A3-127A11: "My Heavenly Mother came to me from a cloud that formed above the water! She came quietly but full of light. I felt very happy to be in her wonderful presence. I felt her love, acceptance and peace come into me, accompanying her intense light that flowed through me.
She spoke to me: 'Raphael, you and your wife enjoyed visiting your new grandson Elijah yesterday. He is happy and learning so quickly the new world and environment he finds himself in! When your children enter into a new physical body, they had previously practiced and gained proficiency how to operate their body systems sufficiently. They had learned fully, in simulated ways, during their premortal training. However, when they are on their own with their very own body, it is a brand new experience! This is a new adventure with many new sensations. They operate all of their body functions with their unconscious mind. Their conscious mind is very subject to becoming tired with the stimuli of a new world. They constantly are learning and growing! They still retain all of their premortal memories, but these are kept in their unconscious mind. These memories also gradually fade from inactivity. Within a few years they have forgotten all about their heavenly home and are little children who continue to be dependent upon their parents. They accept whatever comes their way as normal. These perceptions of their new world become their reality. They are innocent and pure, fully growing and learning about their new world.
D&C 68:25-28, 31
"And again, inasmuch as parents have children in Zion, or in any of her stakes which are organized, that teach them not to understand the doctrine of repentance, faith in Christ the Son of the living God, and of baptism and the gift of the Holy Ghost by the laying on of the hands, when eight years old, the sin be upon the heads of the parents.
For this shall be a law unto the inhabitants of Zion, or in any of her stakes which are organized.
And they shall also teach their children to pray, and to walk uprightly before the Lord.
Now, I, the Lord, am not well pleased with the inhabitants of Zion, for there are idlers among them; and their children are also growing up in wickedness; they also seek not earnestly the riches of eternity, but their eyes are full of greediness."
Raphael, it is a grave responsibility to be a parent and to raise a new innocent child! The child is so very dependent upon their parents or caretakers for their growing belief system, habits and patterns of living. They unquestionably follow whatever they see and experience from their parents, not able to yet discern good or evil. These habits and patterns of their parents become so ingrained as young children that they are very difficult to change, even as an adult later in life.
We visit the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of those who do not follow our ways (see Exodus 20:5). Thus the weaknesses of the parents are perpetuated upon their children. However, "The sins of the parents cannot be answered upon the heads of the children, for they are whole from the foundation of the world" (see Moses 6:54), for Jesus Christ, the great redeemer, has atoned for their sins. The children are expected, however, to repent of their sins and weaknesses of the flesh they inherited and were taught. We help them view their own weaknesses, and will help them as they humble themselves before us and have faith in Jesus Christ. (see Ether 12:27)
This process of changing patterns and beliefs that are learned as children can be a very difficult process. Many in your day go to therapy and professionals trained to help them know what normal behavior is. Satan rages in the hearts of our children, once they become accountable before us. It is hardly known in many places on earth now what is normal and what is sinful or perverted! The world in which you live is a dark and difficult environment, in many areas, in which to raise children.
We have sent forth our gospel of Jesus Christ into the world to save the peoples of the world from their wayward ways. We send our Holy Spirit to confirm to the hearts and minds of our mortal children so that they may be led and receive our guidance. It will be particularly important for our faithful children to follow our Spirit in these last days. Without our guidance, it will not be possible to navigate their lives in such a difficult environment.
D&C 45:57
"For they that are wise and have received the truth, and have taken the Holy Spirit for their guide, and have not been deceived-verily I say unto you, they shall not be hewn down and cast into the fire, but shall abide the day."
We generously send our Spirit upon the inhabitants of the earth to enlighten and bless them. Those of our children, from all circumstances and from any walk of life, will be enlightened and blessed as they follow their inner conscience. As they seek the good, we will give them more guidance. We will not leave them alone, but will comfort and guide them. It will not be easy, but will be possible.
Raphael, we have our holy angels and heavenly servants sent forth upon the world to help rescue those who will follow us. We will bring those of a Christ-like nature into our millennial day, when Satan will be bound and not able to influence them to do evil. Their posterity will soon have children that "shall grow up without sin unto salvation." (see D&C 45:58)) Oh, what a wonderful happy day for me that will be!'"

Doctrine & Covenants 45:48
48 And then shall the Lord set his foot upon this mount, and it shall cleave in twain, and the earth shall tremble, and reel to and fro, and the heavens also shall shake.
172C2-172C10: "I wondered if the work of gathering by the 144,000 will need to be accomplished before the second coming of Jesus Christ, so that all of the elect are in one place in Zion. I then remembered the scripture of the Jews who would be in their holy land and would be converted in one day at the return of Jesus Christ. I guess there will be two places of gathering at the second coming, one at the old Jerusalem, and one in the center place of Zion and surrounding Zion cities in our land of promise.
D&C 45: 51-53
"And then shall the Jews look upon me and say: What are these wounds in thine hands and in thy feet?
Then shall they know that I am the Lord; for I will say unto them: These wounds are the wounds with which I was wounded in the house of my friends. I am he who was lifted up. I am Jesus that was crucified. I am the Son of God.
And then shall they weep because of their iniquities; then shall they lament because they persecuted their king."
I came to the fountain of living water in the celestial orb, and saw my Heavenly Parents there waiting for me! I approached them and knelt before them. I looked up into the accepting faces of my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother before me, for they were both smiling upon me.
Heavenly Father then spoke: 'Raphael, you are correct that the 144,000 will gather all of the elect who will come to the New Jerusalem where will be the Church of the Firstborn. These will come out of all nations on the earth.
Many of the Jews will also be numbered among our elect, and many will be gathered to modern-day Israel. They will see a great war and calamity, but our Son Jesus Christ will deliver them when the Mount of Olives will cleave in twain by a large earthquake in that area (D&C 45: 48). This will be the day of their deliverance by Jesus Christ.
Others of the elect who are scattered upon the face of the earth will be gathered one by one by the 144,000 servants who will go forth from the New Jerusalem. They will bring as many as will come to that great city, even to the terrestrial earth in that area. They too will be purified and made clean in the blood of Jesus Christ, for he will cleanse them and accept them into this city of peace and safety. They will be escorted there by a member of the 144,000 who will be given power to travel with them through the portal of that member of the 144,000 in the terrestrial realms of the earth (see your post 139E33).
The rescue effort of the 144,000 will be great! We will work together with our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, to inspire them where to find our elect. These elect will be in all situations, and will eagerly hear the words of our 144,000 servants who will physically come among them. They will speak their language, and persuade them by our Spirit to come with them to an area of peace and safety, to our New Jerusalem and Church of the Firstborn. Our elect will recognize our voice of the Spirit that accompanies their words of encouragement and truth. After agreeing to come, they will leave all behind and come to the gates of the New Jerusalem where they will be accepted and received into our Zion, the pure in heart. They will then become part of the citizenry of our pure and holy people and land.
When all of the elect are safely gathered, all who will come, then Jesus Christ will come in the clouds of heaven. The prophecies concerning his coming will then be fulfilled. The wicked in the world will be burned at his presence, and the elect will be lifted up in the clouds of heaven with Jesus (see D&C 76: 63). This will be the day that the entire earth will transform to a terrestrial world, and the millennium will begin. Jesus Christ will descend with his elect to a new earth and reign as their king for a thousand years.
Raphael, the 144,000 have a vital role in the gathering process. They will be inspired where to find our elect and to bring them from among the wicked in their telestial world, to our place of gathering.'"

49 And the Lord shall utter his voice, and all the ends of the earth shall hear it; and the nations of the earth shall mourn, and they that have laughed shall see their folly.
50 And calamity shall cover the mocker, and the scorner shall be consumed; and they that have watched for iniquity shall be hewn down and cast into the fire.
Mon, Nov 27, 2023
At the coming of Jesus Christ, the elements will melt with fervent heat, the earth shall tremble and reel to and fro as a drunken man, and the heavens shall violently shake. This is when the physical mortal telestial earth is shed from mother earth, never to come back. It is also the time when all the telestial mortal physical earth will melt and return to elemental matter, to be removed from the earth to a region where it was taken from before it was created by God, outside the borders of the universe.
The telestial spirit realm of the earth will still remain, for this is where the spirit of those destroyed will go. This is the time of the destruction of the wicked, or the telestial who remain on the earth. Truly calamity shall cover the mocker (they shall be covered by the scorching earth, burned up by the intense fire, or covered by boiling waves of the sea overextending their bounds). The scorner shall be consumed (burned up so that they are no more). All the wicked will be hewn down and cast into unquenchable fire as the earth melts with fervent heat.
The physical realms of the earth will then consist of only the terrestrial and celestial realms.

Christ shall show his wounds to the Jews at his coming, when he comes in glory to the telestial earth, before these his last elect to be awakened.

54 And then shall the heathen nations be redeemed, and they that knew no law shall have part in the first resurrection; and it shall be tolerable for them.
Tue, Nov 28, 2023
The heathen nations shall have part in the first resurrection. The heathen nations are those that have already died, and not those who are alive in mortality. Only the elect who are alive will be permitted to stay alive in the millennium. Note too that the scripture does not mention the righteous being resurrected at this same time, for I believe they are resurrected before this time at their deliverance at the marriage supper of the Lamb. See Rev 7:9.

Doctrine & Covenants 45:54-55
54 And then shall the heathen nations be redeemed, and they that knew no law shall have part in the first resurrection; and it shall be tolerable for them.
55 And Satan shall be bound, that he shall have no place in the hearts of the children of men.
187M4-187M7, from Heavenly Mother: "She spoke to my mind: 'Raphael, you watched a documentary movie last night with your wife about the aborigines in Australia. They lived a very primitive lifestyle without God in the world. These are what the scriptures refer to as the heathen nations. They are steeped in false ideas and practices, and only continue in such behaviors because of the traditions of their fathers. They are our children who are having their earthly experience. They will one day be taught the truths of the gospel and receive the gospel, even at the beginning of the millennium when the earth is transitioned into a terrestrial sphere.
D&C 45:54-55
"And then shall the heathen nations be redeemed, and they that knew no law shall have part in the first resurrection; and it shall be tolerable for them.
And Satan shall be bound, that he shall have no place in the hearts of the children of men."
These people who still live on your earth in primitive ways, without civilization or purpose except their own survival, will be enlightened at last. They are kept in their primitive lifestyle which is full of revenge and hostility and false beliefs by Satan. Once you bind Lucifer and his hosts in the bottomless pit, these will be taught by our elect and will gladly accept our true doctrine. They will, as a group, be redeemed by Jesus Christ, and enter into the millennial reign with the righteous on the earth. Their posterity will live throughout the thousand years of peace, and many will ultimately be received into the Church of the Firstborn.
2 Nephi 26:33
"For none of these iniquities come of the Lord; for he doeth that which is good among the children of men; and he doeth nothing save it be plain unto the children of men; and he inviteth them all to come unto him and partake of his goodness; and he denieth none that come unto him, black and white, bond and free, male and female; and he remembereth the heathen; and all are alike unto God, both Jew and Gentile.""

56 And at that day, when I shall come in my glory, shall the parable be fulfilled which I spake concerning the ten virgins.
57 For they that are wise and have received the truth, and have taken the Holy Spirit for their guide, and have not been deceived, verily I say unto you, they shall not be hewn down and cast into the fire, but shall abide the day.
58 And the earth shall be given unto them for an inheritance; and they shall multiply and wax strong, and their children shall grow up without sin unto salvation.
59 For the Lord shall be in their midst, and his glory shall be upon them, and he will be their king and their lawgiver.
Mon, Jun 17, 2024
Notice that the parable of the ten virgins is fulfilled at the coming of Jesus Christ. This is immediately followed by the marriage supper of the Lamb, and then the second coming.
The five wise virgins, the elect of God, are open, humble, listen to God and then act as God would have them do, and are these elect ones, chosen by the Father. These will be first gathered to the marriage supper of the Lamb. After the sumptuous meal, they will have wedding garments placed on their bodies, and their telestial raiments discarded. They will be joined with the righteous from all ages, died and unborn. When Jesus Christ comes through the golden door, they will all bow on their knees before him. Then they will be transported into the clouds of heaven, followed immediately afterwards by Jesus Christ in his glorious second coming to the earth.
The five wise virgins have received the truth, received the Holy Ghost, heard the voice of God and angels directing them to what they should do to avoid being deceived, and to do God's will. This is an individual choice by each of the elect. They cannot rely on man or any institutions of man including religious churches, prophets and leaders. They each will need a personal connection with God, and follow the directions from God that they receive.
These ten virgins include the ones who are terrestrial mortals who descend with Jesus. They will continue living on the terrestrial mortal earth, establishing themselves in families and happy Zion communities. All of the wicked will have been destroyed with whom they had lived on the telestial mortal earth--they will have been hewn down and cast into the fire--a terrible day for these poor souls. What a wonderful happy day this will be for the righteous elect who come into this millennial state of the earth!
March 24, 2024: In prayer with Heavenly Father, I asked about how much of the telestial earth would be destroyed in the destructions from Jesus Christ during the second coming. I was told 95% of the telestial earth would be destroyed and removed to elemental matter. The remaining 5% of the telestial mortal earth would transition into the terrestrial mortal earth. This transition will include much of the Wasatch Mountains in Utah, including my own property. See my notes on Isaiah 2:2 and Genesis 49:26.
41B2-41B14, from Heavenly Father: "'Raphael, there is now less than four days until the new year 2017. Until that time, we will continue to meet you in prayer where we are today, just east of the fountain of living waters. We will continue to mourn over those, our children, who have chosen the ways of the world and the ways of Satan, over choosing us, their Parents, and our Son Jesus Christ.
Once the New Year arrives, we will have completed our mourning. Our love for these our children, who are the tares of the earth, will have diminished significantly. This is necessary since there is no way for us to cleanse these from the earth, if we were to have loved them like we do our elect. Still, this will be a very difficult task for us to do! We so wish it could be otherwise!
Our full love and focus will then transfer to the elect of God whom I have selected. Of this group, there will also be many who will fall and, by various means, not be faithful to us to the end. This will be the great day of sifting of the hearts of men and women!
We have taught you that we desire that you release all of our expectations, of what might happen in the process of the destruction of the wicked. Only your Heavenly Mother, myself, and our Beloved Son know the details. We reveal events that will happen according to our understanding of how this information will be used. Of you, and our righteous, we state 'Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of Man cometh.' (Matthew 25:13). This is true for all of the events leading up to that day also.
We will continue to be with you every day and every hour, in the difficult days ahead. We also will be with our holy angels in their conscious minds who have departed the ways of the world, and approach us in sincere and humble prayer.
The fountain of living waters will again start flowing next Sunday, January 1st, 2017. This will signify a new era in our approach and actions with our children. Then will the parable of the ten virgins be beginning to be fulfilled, as found in D&C 45:56-59, as spoken by our Beloved Son:
'And at that day, when I shall come in my glory, shall the parable be fulfilled which I spake concerning the ten virgins.
For they that are wise and have received the truth, and have taken the Holy Spirit for their guide, and have not been deceived, verily I say unto you, they shall not be hewn down and cast into the fire, but shall abide the day.
And the earth shall be given unto them for an inheritance; and they shall multiply and wax strong, and their children shall grow up without sin unto salvation.
For the Lord shall be in their midst, and his glory shall be upon them, and he will be their king and their lawgiver.'
He ended speaking. I looked into his eyes. I gazed at him, trying to pick up any further clues. I could tell he was not crying, but was very somber still, and in a state of mourning. I also looked into Heavenly Mother's eyes, and saw the same soberness. I felt so bad for them, with the heavy burden of cutting off their children, and reducing their love for them as they said they would do.
I then started my prayer this morning, after writing what happened last night. In my prayer this morning, I saw Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother on the bank of her river, just east of the dry fountain of living waters. He was puddly in his eyes with recent tears, as was Heavenly Mother, and they were hugging each other, in support for what they were about to do (I thought). I expressed to them my sadness too, and my sincere condolences for what they have to do in cleansing the wicked.
They didn't speak, but seemed to be trying to control their composure in this anguishing time for them.
I therefore spent a few words in my prayer, and expressed my sympathy and my love to them.
Then it became very dark! I could tell that my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother were still in front of me. However, I couldn't 'see' any part of them! I turned around, and the temple of God still had a faint glow. It was clear outside in the celestial world where I was, but it was very dark. It was as if someone had turned off the lights! The stars were bright and shining in the distance.
I then thought that the stars symbolized the telestial world. This is where the tares of the earth will mostly go in the day of judgment. There was no moon out, only the stars. I was reminded of D&C 76:81-89:
'And again, we saw the glory of the telestial, which glory is that of the lesser, even as the glory of the stars differs from that of the glory of the moon in the firmament.
These are they who received not the gospel of Christ, neither the testimony of Jesus.
hese are they who deny not the Holy Spirit.
These are they who are thrust down to hell.
These are they who shall not be redeemed from the devil until the last resurrection, until the Lord, even Christ the Lamb, shall have finished his work.
These are they who receive not of his fulness in the eternal world, but of the Holy Spirit through the ministration of the terrestrial;
And the terrestrial through the ministration of the celestial.
And also the telestial receive it of the administering of angels who are appointed to minister for them, or who are appointed to be ministering spirits for them; for they shall be heirs of salvation.
And thus we saw, in the heavenly vision, the glory of the telestial, which surpasses all understanding;'
These persons who inherit the telestial world, will be thrust down to hell (D&C 76:84), and won't be redeemed to their telestial state of glory until after the day of judgment, until the last resurrection when they are redeemed from the devil (verse 85).
I then stayed there before my Heavenly Parents in prayer, even after I closed my prayer. I stayed to be near them, and to help them through this very difficult time, with whatever I could offer."
108I3-108I10, from Heavenly Mother: "'Raphael, your mortal life you are living is pleasing to me. We are particularly pleased that you persist, morning and evening, in placing us first in your busy life. In turn, we continue to bless you with our presence, our Godly ways, and with our truths from heaven. We will do so to everyone who seeks us diligently, praying to us in the name of Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son.
You have noticed that the white cloud has lifted from our celestial world. You saw last night how this cloud covers the minds of our people who live in your fallen telestial world. However, for those who sincerely, openly, and diligently come unto us, we will speak to them by revelation and in ways they may understand.
You have recently read and thought about the parable of the ten virgins (see Matthew 25:1-13). There is a verse that is often overlooked: verse 7 "Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps." The cry had been made that the bridegroom cometh, and that they should go out to meet him. When that time comes, those who have already connected with us, and have received our presence and have the Holy Spirit for their guide, are able to trim their lamps and again fully connect with us in prayer. They have already received the Holy Ghost in their lives and have responded to my directions and counsels. They live in readiness. These are the elect of God. They hear my voice and have hearkened and obeyed. The trimming of their lamps is another prayer where they again recognize my voice or see my face again. They are ready to act according to my still, small voice that they recognize and hear. (See D&C 45:56-59)
The foolish virgins also trim their lamps. However, they are unaccustomed to my voice and the manner of the workings of the Spirit. They don't know which way to turn, or what voice to follow, for they have not diligently sought God in their lives. They are still clouded over with misconceptions and falsehoods. They hear many voices and don't know if they even hear the voice of God. They have claimed membership in a religious institution, and have said that they are followers of God. However, inwardly they have never put forth the effort to seek us, all the day long when we were nearby, longing to connect with them.
What more could we have done to awaken the foolish virgins? We are powerless unless they themselves, of their own agency and will, put forth the needed effort in times of peace, to connect to us. They have never been open to our gentle whisperings, for they dismiss this, thinking these were their own thoughts and imaginations of their heart. They would rather follow the crowd and to follow the given culture of the day. They don't pause and think deeply, nor have courage to strike out on their own when they are given promptings from us, their Heavenly Parents. They find greater comfort in acting and believing like others around them, rather than pursuing a course in their life that would bring peace and clarity. They are ones who unquestionably follow their leaders, yet ignore us, their Gods.
It is impossible for the wise virgins to share their oil with the foolish virgins, for they attained it drop by drop, through their own personal effort in prayer and righteous living. Once the bridegroom (our Son, Jesus Christ) receives the wise virgins with their lamps, he shuts the door. The time of preparation is past, and it is now too late to receive those who have all the daylong neglected their relationship with God. He says to the foolish: Verily I say unto you, I know you not." (see Matthew 25:12). Knowing them means that they have developed a connection together, a relationship of trust. This is a two-way effort that the foolish virgins have completely ignored up to this time of reckoning in their lives. The foolish virgins come from every walk of life, from leaders to followers, from rich to poor. They are fully immersed in their telestial world and have never sincerely sought for a better.
The wise virgins also come from every walk of life. However, we know them, for they have connected with us in diligent, open and sincere prayer. We have gradually helped them see and hear our voice. They have, by their own effort and desires, risen above the thick clouds that obscure the mind. We are eager to respond and connect with them, as often as they come unto us in the quietness and energy of their souls. They need to have courage to follow our promptings. As they do, more is given to them. They thus become our elect, the wise virgins spoken of in this parable of the last days.
When they are welcomed by the bridegroom into his presence, the wise virgins are received into the kingdom of heaven on the earth. They are the ones who are preserved and move forward into the great day of the millennium. One day, they too will literally come to our kingdom on earth, even the kingdom of heaven, and receive from the angels and from God their place in the Church of the Firstborn."
133B3-133B12: "Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, last night I spoke to you about the still small voice of our spirit, and how our children need to quiet down to hear us. This is a crowning experience of life in mortality, to break through their unbelief and be able to always hear our voice, and then obey. Those who do so in mortality become our elect. They will not be led astray, or be deceived. (see D&C 45:56-57).
We do not suddenly counter and lead our children from the norms of their society, culture, and traditions, but do so gradually. We have found it takes time for our children to shift their mindset after we have given them revelation. Thus by degrees we gradually lead them and shape their mind to our own views and perspective.
Your Heavenly Mother and I have addressed this topic of our spirit many times with you. Each time we do, you have matured a little more in your spiritual understanding and insight. You progress and change by following our commands, each time acting in faith. We rarely give you so much new truth or revelation in a way that doesn't require faith to accept and believe. This is our way, so that in all of our gentle leading, you may always question and keep wondering if you are being led by us or yourself, or someone else. However, whenever you may ask us, we consistently give you the same assurances that you are being led aright.
We gently and quietly lead our faithful children to receive more and more truths and directions from us their Gods. In their mortal, telestial state, we want them to always confirm that our guidance is truly from us, and not from themselves or some false spirit or from a friend or leader that unknowingly may be leading them astray. Each one of our elect need to choose for themselves whom they will follow.
When we bring our elect from the telestial world, into a terrestrial or celestial realm, our spirit comes to their mind more clearly and with greater sureness. We want them, however, to first be proven in their telestial mortal state, in order for them to act in faith. We test and try our children who act in faith and obey. This assures that they are truly candidates for entry into our celestial Church of the Firstborn. Once proven and accepted by Jesus Christ, the keeper of the gate leading to the path to exaltation and eternal life, they will have demonstrated they hear and follow our still small voice.
Some who have read your words about us speaking to your unconscious mind are confused by the term unconscious, or wonder about where this part of the mind may be located. Your unconscious mind that we speak about is not acting in your body but not consciously accessible. It is hidden from your views and conscious, comes into our children often as a questionable thought or feeling. This is in contrast to your conscious mind that may view, see, perceive and verify the source by physical sight, touch, taste, smell, sound or reasoning. To verify that something comes into your unconscious mind and is true is not verifiable by the physical senses. It is verifiable in your mind and heart, perceivable in assurances from us your Gods that we send to you by our still small voice of the spirit. The spirit is light and truth, and resonates in your being with feelings and impressions.
When Stephen and Abraham were in life-threatening situations (see post 132G4-132G10), and were threatened with death, we came to them in their unconscious mind, so that they clearly perceived us. They had both become accustomed to our voice and knew and recognized this just as plainly as they could verify something coming into their mortal conscious mind. They both received visions of the Almighty in their unconscious mind. This was in a realm that was not verifiable by their five mortal senses, but it was spiritually perceived. All visions from God, given by us through revelation, come to this part of the mind and heart of man or woman, for this is the region of the spirit of man where we address them. Our spiritually sensitive children are very much aware of our visions and voice of the spirit that we share with them, even in their telestial, mortal state. All of our elect hear our voice, given through their unconscious mind and heart.
The unconscious heart that I speak of refers to the feelings and inner yearning of your heart and breast. This is the area in our mortal children where they feel often inspired and motivated to action. We address this hidden part of our children also, in addition to their unconscious mind. Their heart is the receptacle of pure and virtuous feelings of love, empathy, compassion, and all holy and goodly virtues.
D&C 8:2-3-"Yea, behold I will tell you in your mind and in your heart (these are both not in your conscious state, but in the inner man or woman, in an unconscious or hidden part of the spirit of man), by the Holy Ghost, which shall come upon you and which shall dwell in your heart. (This heart and breast area is where our holy spirit, or the Holy Ghost resides in our children, so that they may feel what is right and truthful).
Now, behold, this is the spirit of revelation; behold, this is the spirit by which Moses brought the children of Israel through the Red Sea on dry ground. (This prompting to divide the Red Sea was given to Moses in his unconscious mind, and not in his conscious mind. It was verifiable by our Spirit, and not by the five physical senses.)' (parenthesis commentary added by Heavenly Father)."
133D25-133D33, from Heavenly Mother: "'Raphael, you live on earth in a very dark day that increases with evil year by year. There are more evil people, who are full of sin and wickedness, than there has ever been during the time of the flood, or in Abraham's day, or just before the destruction of the Nephites. There are more led astray in your day by Satan than ever before.
However, there are more of the valiant and elect on the earth than during those previous days of great wickedness also. These are our elect! They will have tribulations like the wicked, but will seek us and follow our guidance. These are the ones we will spare when the wicked this time are burned with fire at the second coming of our Son, Jesus Christ. From these righteous ones will come the inhabitants of the millennial world.'
I asked her if there would be others spared that are of a terrestrial nature, who are the honorable men and women on the earth now, but who are blinded by the craftiness of men. (see D&C 76:75). She spoke:
'Raphael, there will be some of the terrestrial who have lived without knowledge of this gospel, who would have received it had they been adequately taught (see D&C 137:7-9). There will also be little children that will be spared, who have not yet reached the age of accountability. However, for those who profess to be righteous, but have rejected us during their life, and would not keep our promptings, they will not survive the day. They will have the demise of the foolish five virgins, spoken of by Jesus Christ:
Matthew 25:10-13 "And while they (the five foolish virgins) went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage, and the door was shut.
Afterward came also the other virgins, saying; Lord, Lord, open to us.
But he answered and said, verily I say unto you, I know you not.
Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of Man cometh."
Also D&C 45:56-59: "And at that day, when I shall come in my glory, shall the parable be fulfilled which I spake concerning the ten virgins.
For they that are wise and have received the truth, and have taken the Holy Spirit for their guide, and have not been deceived-verily I say unto you, they shall not be hewn down and cast into the fire, but shall abide the day. (The foolish virgins shall be cast into the fire at that day).
And the earth shall be given unto them for an inheritance; and they shall multiply and wax strong, and their children shall grow up without sin unto salvation.
For the Lord shall be in their midst, and his glory shall be upon them, and he will be their king and their lawgiver." (parenthesis added by Heavenly Mother).
I then asked of her if there would be other churches established besides the Church of Christ and the Church of the Firstborn in that millennial day?
She replied-'Raphael, at first there will only be the Church of Christ and the Church of the Firstborn, for all will be converted to the Lord and embrace our gospel! At the end of the millennium, when Satan and his hosts are loosed for a little season, false churches will again arise, like happened to the Nephites once they stopped having all things in common. (see 4 Nephi 1:20-43). It will get so bad that the righteous will be gathered to the city of the New Jerusalem, and the wicked will all be outside the walls of the holy city.'
We had walked up and down several rows of Heavenly Mother's beautiful remedy beds, full of beautiful flowers, herbs, bushes and trees. She turned to me and spoke:
'Raphael, we allow hard times to come upon our many children on the earth in order to test and try them. We want to see who will follow our promptings of the Holy Spirit and my Holy Ghost. These are the ones who will be the primary leaders in the great millennial Zion that will be established for nearly 1,000 years! It is during times of trouble that our children really decide who they will follow.'"
188H4-188H10, from Heavenly Father: "He spoke: 'Raphael, we have given revelations to S and K, and impressed each to share with you. Our words and voice come to them in their own way, and according to how they each would best receive them. This is how a loving parent couches his/her words individually to each of his/her children. The message is tailored to each one, and they are uplifted by us, their loving Heavenly Parents. We are truly no respecter of persons, and tenderly lead along and reveal to each of our children, even as we will, one by one. We rejoice in their responses and receptivity. We seek after our sheep, or our beloved elect children, and carefully gather them. We desire each to develop a sweet relationship with us. We rejoice in our son or daughter, who has again become reconnected to us, who was once lost or separated from us in mortality.
Luke 15:4-5
"What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?
And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing."
We rejoice when we have reconnected with any of our beloved sons and daughters again who live in the probationary state. This brings us great joy when the channels of connection are again reestablished!
Raphael, this morning you awoke to the wind blowing your trees outside the window. You couldn't see the wind, but you saw the trees moving their branches from the effects of the wind, and you heard the noise from the wind and tree movements.
This is akin to our children who are born of the Spirit, and have taken upon them the Holy Spirit as their guide.
John 3:8
"The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit."
D&C 45:56-59
"And at that day, when I shall come in my glory, shall the parable be fulfilled which I spake concerning the ten virgins.
For they that are wise and have received the truth, and have taken the Holy Spirit for their guide, and have not been deceived, verily I say unto you, they shall not be hewn down and cast into the fire, but shall abide the day.
And the earth shall be given unto them for an (everlasting) inheritance; and they shall multiply and wax strong, and their children (and grandchildren) shall grow up without sin unto salvation.
For the Lord shall be in their midst, and his glory shall be upon them, and he will be their king and their lawgiver." ' (words in parentheses from Heavenly Father)."
203D3-203D8, from Heavenly Mother: "She spoke: 'Raphael, were one of our mortal children to humbly pray to us, and ask whether to accept the supposed vaccination for COVID-19 or not, we would never prompt them to do so. This is not a vaccination but a bioweapon. It's purpose is ultimately to destroy life, not to save it.
The recent letter from the First presidency of the LDS church is very misguided and not from us. The First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles no longer have our Holy Spirit. Satan masquerades our Spirit to them, and they think they are receiving revelations from God when it is really from Satan and his clever devils.
Raphael, your Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ and I continue to send forth our Spirit, and I continue to send forth the Holy Ghost upon our humble followers. They need to be open and receptive to our quiet promptings, and be willing to hear what we have to say, over any other voice of man or devil.
The parable of the ten virgins is now beginning to be fulfilled, even as recorded in D&C 45:56-59:
"And at that day, when I come in my glory (this day, speaking in terms of today, even from now until the second coming of Jesus Christ-see D&C 64:23), shall the parable be fulfilled which I spake concerning the ten virgins.
For they that are wise and have received the truth, and have taken the Holy Spirit for their guide, and have not been deceived (we who are the true Gods of our mortal children, send forth our Holy Spirit upon our sons and daughters, but there are many who will not hear or feel our Spirit. If they think they know of themselves, if they are ladened with sin, if they are proud or puffed up in their learning or riches, or if they are not willing to be guided and led by us, then they cut off the gentle and soft manner in which we speak to them. They then think they hear when it really isn't our voice at all. They are then left to themselves, and they come up with all varieties of falsehoods they say is revelation of our Spirit, when it is their own imaginations or the persuasions and voices of the adversary, even Satan.)-verily, I say unto you, they shall not be hewn down and cast into the fire, but shall abide the day.
And the earth shall be given unto them for an inheritance; and they shall multiply and wax strong, and their children shall grow up without sin unto salvation.
For the Lord shall be in their midst, and his glory shall be upon them, and he will be their king and their lawgiver." (words in parenthesis from Heavenly Mother).
Raphael, for friends and family wondering whether to be injected with the supposed vaccination, you may give them all sorts of scientific articles, or seek to persuade them of the unproven nature of the injections. However, the most important recommendation is for them to ask of God, with a humble heart, an open mind, and a willingness to follow God's direction. If they were to do this, we would send forth our still small voice of the Spirit to enlighten their soul and to reveal the truth to them. This is how they will be able to not be deceived by the many other voices all around them.'"

See the parable of the ten virgins. In verse 57 the differentiating quality is to have 1) accepted the truth, 2) taken the Spirit for their guide, and 3) not been deceived. There is grand deception abroad in the land today with the government lies, the secretive international bankers (elite), and the ultra secretive communist strength and intention to continue to conquer the world.

Doctrine & Covenants 45:57-58
57 For they that are wise and have received the truth, and have taken the Holy Spirit for their guide, and have not been deceived, verily I say unto you, they shall not be hewn down and cast into the fire, but shall abide the day.
58 And the earth shall be given unto them for an inheritance; and they shall multiply and wax strong, and their children shall grow up without sin unto salvation.
131E2-131E11: "Heavenly Mother appeared in front of me in her bright glory! She was smiling and her eternity eyes were sparkling. I felt immediately accepted and loved! She reached out her hand to me. I stood and took her hand and we started walking together, hand in hand!
She spoke: 'Raphael, we have described to you, starting five days ago, about the veils that protect our higher realms. These are real and tangible film-like barriers that prevent those in a lower order from seeing and passing into the superimposed realm of a higher order. There is also a veil of sorts over the mind of man. However, this veil is not a physical veil, but resides in the mind of our sons and daughters.
When we send forth our beloved sons and daughters into mortality, from our higher celestial realm of glory, they no longer have direct access to their unconscious mind. Their mind becomes divided into a conscious part and an unconscious part. The unconscious part is still very active but is not available to the active thoughts of our children in their fallen, telestial state. This separation of the conscious mind and unconscious mind is also a veil for our children.
Our mortal children therefore are prevented from seeing into the terrestrial, celestial or the highest celestial realms because of physical veils that protect those higher realms, but also have now no direct access to their own unconscious mind. They have no spiritual sight since they can no longer actively spiritually see, nor remember their previous life, for these are part of their hidden unconscious mind. They may hear our voice, the voice of the Spirit, how we have always spoken to them, but it is also not nearly so clear. They need to quiet down and in a meditative prayerful state, reconnect to their own unconscious mind to which we speak. As they practice and become used again to hearing our voice, or our Spirit, they will find that we answer their petitions, and guide them through our Spirit. Our elect children are those who seek to hear and follow our Spirit. This becomes an anchor to their souls, brings them great peace and in this way we continually lead them.
In their premortal life, our spirit children experienced no division between their conscious and unconscious minds; for they had one mind. However, as part of their mortal test, we told them that their memories of their celestial life would be temporarily removed, and that their connection to us, their parents, would be much more difficult. Were they to casually live in mortality, they might even go their entire life without God, for it would take effort for them to communicate to us in their fallen world. The effort required would be to quiet down, be open in their conscious mind, and then to petition us in prayer in humility. We would speak to them in their hidden part of their mind, and speak to them quietly, even in their own thoughts and impressions. Our voice would be small and still, not in an audible voice, but in their thoughts and emotions, like we had almost always spoken to them in the past when they lived with us.
For our faithful elect, they might become accustomed to our voice of the Spirit by regular times in quiet personal prayer and meditation. The connection between their conscious mind and unconscious mind would improve and they would become familiar with our voice. Our voice of the Spirit would always be in the presence of light, for the Spirit consists of light, coupled with our emotions and our own thoughts. They would become practiced in hearing and feeling the familiar voice of the Spirit, both in their mind and in their heart. Their perceptions would improve with their diligence and care, if they did not cast it off because of their unbelief. This effort and belief would require their faith.
Alma 32:21, 26-27
"And now as I said concerning faith-faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things; therefore if ye have faith ye hope for things which are not seen, which are true.
Now, as I said concerning faith-that it was not a perfect knowledge-even so it is with my words. Ye cannot know of their surety at first, unto perfection, any more than faith is a perfect knowledge.
But behold, if ye will awake and arouse your faculties, even to an experiment upon my words, and exercise a particle of faith, yea, even if ye can no more than desire to believe, let this desire work in you, even until ye believe in a manner that ye can give place for a portion of my words."
As our mortal children would exercise their belief and faith, we would continually speak to them by our Spirit. As they started to feel and hear our voice, they would know that this was all very real and perceptive. They would feel the enlightenment and swelling motions in their own heart and mind, coming to them from our Spirit. (see Alma 32:28-43)
This is therefore how we have established the channels of communication between God and man in mortality! It takes effort and diligence on the part of our faithful children to hear us and receive our direction and feel our love. Only the determined of our children would persist and fully receive our Spirit as their guide.
D&C 45:57
"For they that are wise and have received the truth, and have taken the Holy Spirit for their guide, and have not been deceived-verily I say unto you, they shall not be hewn down and cast into the fire, but shall abide the day."
My Heavenly Mother and I had strolled around the foyer of her temple, and were now at the open doors, looking north over her beautiful celestial orb! I could see the sun shining on the fountain of living water and reflecting off the golden altar. It was all so beautiful and very real to me! I saw this all in my unconscious mind, being enlightened by her Holy Spirit, or the Spirit of the Holy Ghost. I felt very full of understanding, with clarity in seeing and perceiving of the way God communes with their sons and daughters on earth. It all so perfectly was designed as a mortal probation, to determine who of Gods' sons and daughters would make the effort to hear the voice of the Spirit and follow God's directions in their personal life."
141E21-141E24, from Heavenly Father: "You have noticed that after your Mother visited with you Thursday morning at Lake Beautiful, how the lake was very calm and mirror-like. However, when the whirlwind and waves became extremely large after she left your side, you were elevated up in the air, way out of the danger on the waters. We will protect you and our faithful in the coming days that are elevated to a terrestrial level, even by our power! We may even bring you into the terrestrial realm of the earth, away from the telestial calamity until danger has passed. We intend to give our elect the beautiful terrestrial earth as an inheritance.
D&C 45:57
. . . "verily I say unto you, they (our terrestrial elect, those who are wise virgins in the parable, who have taken the Holy Spirit as their guide) shall not be hewn down and cast into the fire, but shall abide the day." (parenthesis added by Heavenly Father)
The terrestrial elect will abide the day, for we will have transfigured them even in their mortal bodies when they were elevated to their terrestrial state. No fire, earthquake, whirlwind, army, or other destructive force, may harm them, for they will have our power to escape all of these, and abide the day! They will have already been prepared in their own physical bodies for the millennial day soon at hand!
There may be some whose hour of death will have come, but this will be according to our appointment and not because they die because of the calamity that will be around them. We will preserve and protect our own terrestrial elect from the destructive forces in the telestial world!'"
189L4-189L10, from Heavenly Father: "It has been over one year since the worldwide pandemic was announced (see your post 153I2). At that time I told you it was now time for you to stay at home (see your post 153I6, on March 12, 2020). During the past year, many nations of the world have locked down their countries, causing many businesses to close forever. There has been a wide divergence of opinion whether the actions that governments took was really necessary to limit the spread of infection. Some feel that the COVID-19 panic was a ploy by the leaders of government and industry in order to change the mindset of the people so that they would line up to receive the vaccinations. This belief is accurate in many ways, for the vaccinations will prove to be more deadly than the virus itself which it is attempting to remove.
]There have been many deaths from the man-made bioweapon virus COVID-19, and there will continue to be deaths by this and other bioweapon viruses and mutations of these viruses. The world is proclaiming that these are going away as the population is vaccinated. Many also claim the vaccinations are not harmful. However, all these vaccines, in the long term, are not helpful, but will prove to destroy many lives since they eliminate the natural immunity of the people. This is dangerous since deadly viral mutations will be spread in vaccinated people, and thereby will spread across the population. Our children will need their natural immunity more than ever in these last days. You have wondered what you should now do. You know many people who are being vaccinated, and you know many who have recovered now from the COVID-19 virus. You long to return to a more open society where you feel free to mingle in your own community, without fear of contracting these infections.
You have also seen that the COVID-19 virus has mostly been a killer of the elderly, but not of the youth or adults in good health. Recently you have felt that only those in their later years, and those with compromised health, should be very cautious, while the younger group should return to a more normal way of living without social distancing nor wearing masks. At this time, when so many are becoming vaccinated, this option is only temporarily viable, since soon deaths from vaccinations will occur and more rampant, deadly viral mutations will be introduced into the population.
Raphael, the measure of precaution that each of our mortal children should take in this changing pandemic is now based on many factors. Many of these factors are unknown to our children on earth. There is no one general policy or method of protection that fits all.
As our children pray to us about these issues, we will guide them, day by day, in how they may safely act and integrate back into their own community. We will whisper to each who inquires of us, in the sincerity of their heart, the direction they might take to remain safe and protected. They should regularly ask again and again of us, and we will change our direction as situations in their community change. We will guide them by our Holy Spirit:
D&C 45:57
"For they that are wise and have received the truth, and have taken the Holy Spirit for their guide, and have not been deceived--verily I say unto you, they shall not be hewn down and cast into the fire, but shall abide the day."
In all of these difficult times, we will train our elect to listen more carefully to our Spirit that we will impart to their inquiring minds. For those of our elect who make mistakes in hearing our promptings, we will protect them with Heavenly Mother's corona fire to route out the deadly infections that they might be exposed to. In almost all cases, we will save and preserve our elect temporally from the plagues of your day.'"
108D2-108D10: "Heavenly Mother spoke: Raphael, I came to you as a friend, before you asked me to come. I know your patterns of asking one or both of us to come, so I came early, even before you asked. Normally we wait to be invited by our children before we come, in answer to their prayers.
Your Heavenly Father and I also have been choosing in our visits the topics we wish to reveal to you. Do you have any questions this morning before I share what I want to talk about?'
I responded: 'M.A. had asked me in an email how Heavenly Father actually bundles his tares together that he places on that road that will be burned? (see paragraph 107H7) Heavenly Mother replied: Raphael, the wheat and tares are figurative of individuals who are living in your telestial world, our mortal children. Heavenly Father does, however, physically and spiritually, remove the tares from his wheat field and place them on the road that leads to the oak tree to the west. These are plants he cuts with his sickle, thus removing them from their source of nourishment from their roots. This is effectively removing them from the growing wheat, allowing the wheat to gain more nourishment from the soil. The roots of the tares quickly die. Cutting the tares is akin to removing the wicked from the earth in preparation for the millennial day. Giving the wheat more room in the field and more access to nourishing soil is akin to more revelation and personal direction to the righteous from us, their Gods.
When the tares are left to wither and dry on the road, the Father then asks certain of our holy angels to come and bind these tares into bundles. They are given twine that Heavenly Father has made himself in our celestial world from certain of our plants here. This twine is extremely strong so that many tares may be grouped and tied tightly together. They are stacked vertically on the road by the angels of God. Their fate to be burned with fire is thereby assured.
The burning comes after the harvest of the wheat into garners. This too is figurative, but also actually is done by Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ and me. We gather the righteous elect, one by one, into safe places prior to the second coming of Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son. We protect and nourish them. When they are gathered, they continue to grow and are still nourished by us, unlike the tares that are bound to be burned. Each wheat and each tare represents an adult individual son or daughter on the earth. The wheat, or the elect, are cared for and receive now most of our attention, whereas the tares have demonstrated by their actions and choices that they don't want any part of our millennial world, or a terrestrial or celestial life.
Once the field is harvested, the wheat is gathered in safe garners and the field and tares are burned. Finally, the field is again prepared and replanted with new wheat. These are representative of those choice children of God who will come forth in the great millennial era. They will grow up without sin unto salvation. See D&C 45:57-58 (Heavenly Mother's comments in parentheses).
"For they that are wise and have received the truth, and have taken the Holy Spirit for their guide, and have not been deceived-(these are the wheat who listen and follow me, the Holy Ghost, and received revelation and direction from their Gods), verily I say unto you, they shall not be hewn down and cast into the fire, but shall abide the day.
And the earth shall be given unto them for an inheritance; and they shall multiply and wax strong, and their children (these are the new millennial elect that will be planted in Father's wheat field after it is burned and then prepared for planting again) shall grow up without sin unto salvation. (These millennial children will have no devil to tempt and lead them into sin and wickedness. There will be no tares that will come into the Father's field until the end of the millennium when Satan and his hosts are released again by you, Raphael, for a little season. Then the earth will be burned with fire.)
Jacob 5:77 " And when the time cometh that evil fruit shall again come into my vineyard, (this is another allegory one of the branches of the olive tree, speaking of the time at the end of the millennium), then will I cause the good and the bad to be gathered; and the good will I preserve unto myself, and the bad will I cast away into its own place. And then cometh the season and the end, and my vineyard (this is the same as the entire earth) will I cause to be burned with fire (this fire will be the death of the earth. After this, the earth will resurrect, and there will be a new heaven and a new earth.)" See Ether 13:9"

83C1-83C8: "I came this morning to the overlook to Heavenly Father's wheat field. I felt spiritually clear, and so I knelt facing the field. I asked for my Heavenly Parents to come to me.
I then saw both Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother working together in the wheat field below me. When I prayed, they both paused and Heavenly Mother came up to me. She was very happy it seemed, and stood in front of me while I gazed upon her. Her eternity eyes were particularly sparkling, and she was so full of life and happiness it seemed to me.
I gazed on her face, taking all of this in when she asked me to sit up in my recliner and write her words she would speak to me:
'Raphael, we have been overseeing our newly planted wheat in Heavenly Father's wheat field below. Many of these children, represented by the growing wheat, are now being born into mortality. These will come into the millennium, and will be the elect of God! They are they who are spoken of in the scriptures:

"And the earth shall be given unto them for an inheritance; and they shall multiply and wax strong, and their children shall grow up without sin unto salvation.
For the Lord shall be in their midst, and his glory shall be upon them, and he will be their king and their lawgiver."
Those who will multiply and wax strong are those who are being born as children now in your day.
Come Raphael, and see!'
I then stood and took the outreached hand of my Heavenly Mother. We came quickly to the high mountaintop above her upper gardens. We went next to the eastern skies and then traveled to the earth in a near and future day. We came to a small settlement in Zion, what is now in my day called America. We saw happy families living in peaceful settlements, free from oppression, war, or any social unrest. I was particularly taken with the great peace in the land! I knew this was after Jesus Christ had come in glory to the earth.
Heavenly Mother spoke:
'Raphael, we will extend to these in this happy community, and those throughout the land, great peace, even like a river (see Isaiah 66:12 "For thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river"). This is the beginning days of Zion, in the great millennial day. These choice parents will raise their children in a time of great peace. These their children, will grow up without sin unto salvation. Such happy families will continue for the entire thousand years of peace and rest on the earth.
D&C 45:58-59-
"And the earth shall be given unto them for an inheritance; and they shall multiply and wax strong, and their children shall grow up without sin unto salvation.
For the Lord shall be in their midst, and his glory shall be upon them, and he will be their king and their lawgiver."
Raphael, in the New Jerusalem at this same time, you and the angels will be starting your great service in the Church of the Firstborn, administering salvation in the temple to the elect of God!
The holy ordinances in that celestial temple will be forever binding on our children. These grown children will come from these peaceful settlements throughout the land. You will also administer to all of our elect since the days of your first parents, Adam and Eve, who have ever come forth on the earth. The beauty of Zion in this choice land will fill the skies with light beaming from their happy and peaceful countenances! Our glory will rest upon them as they humbly see us, their Gods, and fully respond to how we lead them. Your Heavenly Father and I love to think of this time, soon to come upon the earth!'
Heavenly Mother and I were in the skies next above the earth. I did see a glow of heavenly light coming forth from these peaceful settlements! These dotted the land, and shone forth their peace and light.
I thanked my Heavenly Mother for my vision of Zion, the pure in heart, in a future day upon the land of America! I knew my time was ending in my prayer. Oh, I so love to witness these heavenly visions, like this and the one last night on my Heavenly Parent's original inheritance on their earth."
138L8-138L10, from Heavenly Father: "Q2-from M.A.-"With all the sexual perversion on the earth today in this telestial world, once people go to a telestial kingdom of glory, will there no more sexual perversions there? No sinning anymore? Is it because of Satan that there is this type of sin? I know that there will be no children in the telestial kingdom, so is the desire just not part of that kingdom?"
A2-'In the eternal kingdoms of glory, both in the terrestrial and in the telestial worlds, there will be no reproduction, nor any means for our children to experience sexual relations. We will remove the interest, sexual drive, and capability in those kingdoms of glory towards any sexual relations. This will end any sexual perversions which have been inspired by Lucifer and his evil hosts. Their evil influence will be fully absent from any eternal kingdoms of glory. Our children in these kingdoms will be happy and live in peace among themselves.
During the millennium, when Satan and his hosts are departed, there will also be no sexual perversions, for these have been all inspired by the adversary. Our terrestrial world will have decent, upstanding children who will be respectful of our terrestrial laws and obey them. They will also grow and live without sin in their lives. The millennial society will be one of great peace and tranquility. The inhabitants of the earth will not steal from one another and not even think of the many ways to sin that are part of the natural man or woman in a fallen telestial world where Satan inspires our mortal children to sin. All things will be available for mankind, for the earth will produce in great abundance. Our children will have stewardship over their own possessions and properties, but will be very willing to share with those in need. This is according to the laws of the terrestrial kingdom that all will follow and obey. This is the era when children will grow up without sin to salvation.
D&C 45:58-59
"And the earth shall be given unto them for an inheritance; and they shall multiply and wax strong, and their children shall grow up without sin unto salvation.
For the Lord shall be in their midst, and his glory shall be upon them, and he will be their king and their lawgiver."'"
163H10-163H13, from Heavenly Father: "In your day, when spiritual darkness covers the earth, and Satan has great power in influencing our children, there will continue to be many weaknesses passed from generation to generation. These will be great stumbling blocks for our faithful elect. However, we who are their Gods will succor and bless them, as they are humble, open and want to each change the course of their lives.
11. In the coming millennial day, our righteous elect will spread forth onto the renewed terrestrial earth. They won't have Satan to influence and tempt them to learn his devilish ways.
12. D&C 45:58- "And the earth shall be given unto them for an inheritance; and they shall multiply and wax strong, and their children shall grow up without sin unto salvation."
13. Isaiah 54:13- "And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord, and great shall be the peace of thy children."'"

Doctrine & Covenants 45:66-71
66 And it shall be called the New Jerusalem, a land of peace, a city of refuge, a place of safety for the saints of the Most High God;
67 And the glory of the Lord shall be there, and the terror of the Lord also shall be there, insomuch that the wicked will not come unto it, and it shall be called Zion.
68 And it shall come to pass among the wicked, that every man that will not take his sword against his neighbor must needs flee unto Zion for safety.
69 And there shall be gathered unto it out of every nation under heaven; and it shall be the only people that shall not be at war one with another.
70 And it shall be said among the wicked: Let us not go up to battle against Zion, for the inhabitants of Zion are terrible; wherefore we cannot stand.
71 And it shall come to pass that the righteous shall be gathered out from among all nations, and shall come to Zion, singing with songs of everlasting joy.
172A3-172A15: "Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, today you have wondered about the clothing of those who are accepted into the New Jerusalem area. I would like to describe this to you, and some more information on the climate there.
The area of the New Jerusalem will be a central gathering place for our elect from a world in turmoil, destruction and war. Satan will be out in the telestial world and will wreak havoc among the wicked. However, neither he nor any of his evil hosts will enter into Zion or any of her cities, for these will be terrestrial abodes for our elect who have sought refuge from the world they came from.
Those who admit the humble traveler to Zion will be filled with the spirit. As such, they will only allow the elect of God who are the truly humble and open. There will be some who may not qualify but seek entrance. Our guards will detect these, and prevent any of the wicked, or those possessed by evil spirits from entering.
Once admitted, we will have many who welcome and greet our newly admitted elect individuals. As part of their acceptance of the law of Zion, they will wash and dress in new clothes prepared for them. These will be simple robes having full length sleeves and simple undergarments. These robes will be tied with a waist sash. There will be variation in the robes, but the intent is that everyone will be considered a brother and a sister, with no distinguishing clothing or rank. Raphael, you will also wear such clothes of Zion except when you labor in the celestial temple, at which time you will wear your full angel vestures.
Among the inhabitants of Zion, one will not be able to distinguish by their clothing whether they are from the Northern tribes, the remnants of Jacob, or the other elect who have come out of the telestial world. All will be blessed with the spirit in abundance, and will serve, love and care for each other. The languages that will be spoken will be wide and varied, but each will understand another by the gift of tongues that will be with everyone.
Zion, our center place of the New Jerusalem, will be the first location on earth to become a terrestrial earth. As such, Zion will receive her paradisiacal glory only after a week or so after living water flows from the fissure. This fissure soon will become the fountain of living water.
Once the land becomes a terrestrial abode for those who dwell there, the air and climate will also become terrestrial. This will temper the harsh climate formed in the telestial earth. This temperate climate will be like the Garden of Eden was at the beginning of man's creation. Our citizens of Zion will never need a coat because of being too cold, or feel the need to shed their robes, for the weather will be very tolerant for all.
The sun and moon will shine as they do now upon your telestial earth. The intensity of the sun's rays in the summer will be perfect for working outside for the entire day. In times of winter, the terrestrial sky above the New Jerusalem will protect the land from freezing and the harsh winters common to this area when it was in the telestial sphere of the earth.
As new cities of Zion are established, this same pattern of being renewed to a terrestrial earth will repeat for them.
There will be no weapon from the outside telestial earth that may penetrate the airspace above Zion, or come over her walls. We will protect all of the inhabitants of Zion by our great power:
D&C 45:66-71-
"And it shall be called the New Jerusalem, a land of peace, a city of refuge, a place of safety for the saints of the most High God.
And the glory of the Lord shall be there, and the terror of the Lord also shall be there, insomuch that the wicked will not come unto it, and it shall be called Zion.
And it shall come to pass among the wicked, that every man that will not take his sword must needs flee unto Zion for safety.
And there shall be gathered unto it out of every nation under heaven; and it shall be the only people that shall not be at war one with another.
And it shall be said among the wicked: Let us not go up to battle against Zion, for the inhabitants of Zion are terrible; wherefore we cannot stand.
And it shall come to pass that the righteous shall be gathered out from among all nations, and shall come to Zion, singing with songs of everlasting joy."
The inhabitants of Zion, our proven elect, will all be saints, for Jesus Christ our Beloved Son will have ransomed them from their previous sins, and made them all clean and pure. Oh, what a happy place this will be!'
I expressed my deep gratitude to my Father to have shared his truths with me tonight. Oh, I yearn for Zion, the pure in heart! These will be my people, and together we will serve our Gods."
173G15-173G17, from Heavenly Mother: "You have also wondered when the Church of Christ would be brought forward on the earth. This will have new prophets and apostles, and will have our approval and authority. This church will come to the New Jerusalem island after many of our elect have already come here. The focus will not be at first to align with a particular church, which will be the Church of Christ, but to build up Zion, the New Jerusalem, in a quick and efficient manner. This community and the Zion cities that follow will protect our elect from the wicked, and from those in the telestial world who want them destroyed. We want a place of refuge quickly established in the center of our land of promise. This is where we will gather our people.
Then will this scripture be fulfilled:
D&C 45:68-71
"And it shall come to pass among the wicked, that every man that will not take his sword against his neighbor must needs flee unto Zion for safety.
And there shall be gathered unto it out of every nation under heaven; and it shall be the only people that shall not be at war one with another.
And it shall be said among the wicked: Let us not go up to battle against Zion, for the inhabitants of Zion are terrible; wherefore we cannot stand.
And it shall come to pass that the righteous shall be gathered out from among all nations, and shall come to Zion, singing with songs of everlasting joy." '
I thanked my Heavenly Mother for the greater concerns for safety and peace among her elect children than for ensuring they are in the authorized Church of Christ when they first arrive. I see that conversion will happen once a person comes into the borders of Zion and is safe and secure. Joining the church would happen as a consequence of true conversion by the Spirit in their hearts and minds."
188D3-188D13, from Heavenly Mother: "Heavenly Mother spoke: 'Raphael, what you have received from Heavenly Father last night, and what you wrote at that time in your journal is true and correct. You are our servant through whom Zion and the New Jerusalem will be redeemed on the earth. We will do so with our power and might!
At the appointed time you will be called forth by us, your Gods, along with legions of our celestial heavenly hosts, and shine forth great power and glory in the light of a thousand suns event. This will turn the tide of evil takeover on your promised land. This will be the start of the redemption of Zion.
You will then come to the flooded area of the New Jerusalem and follow our directions in creating the island land and city of the New Jerusalem. You will act as our archangel, full of our authority and power. Other celestial servants will help you as you might need them. The celestial temple will be erected by you upon the designated spot where our celestial realm will rest upon the earth. The surrounding area will soon turn into a terrestrial realm, and the foundations of Zion will be established and started!
Raphael, we will do this great work, our strange work, and our act, our strange act, with you being our chosen servant. We will choose our other celestial servants to assist, many of whom are mortal translated beings, and many who are translated and resurrected celestial beings. Our army of supportive leaders will all fulfill our every command in our great work. No unhallowed hand may stop our work!
Our mortal elect who are scattered upon the earth will then hear our voice, the voice of our Spirit, and start to make their way to Zion.
Isaiah 35:10
"And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away."
D&C 101:16-20
"Therefore, let your hearts be comforted concerning Zion; for all flesh is in mine hands; be still and know that I am God.
Zion shall not be moved out of her place, notwithstanding her children are scattered.
They that remain, and are pure in heart, shall return, and come to their inheritances, they and their children, with songs of everlasting joy, to build up the waste places of Zion-
And all these things that the prophets might be fulfilled."
D&C 45:66-71
"And it shall be called the New Jerusalem, a land of peace, a city of refuge, a place of safety for the saints of the Most High God;
And the glory of the Lord shall be there, and the terror of the Lord also shall be there, insomuch that the wicked will not come unto it, and it shall be called Zion.
And it shall come to pass among the wicked, that every man that will not take his sword against his neighbor must needs flee unto Zion for safety.
And there shall be gathered unto it out of every nation under heaven; and it shall be the only people that shall not be at war one with another.
And it shall be said among the wicked: Let us not go up to battle against Zion, for the inhabitants of Zion are terrible; wherefore we cannot stand.
And it shall come to pass that the righteous shall be gathered out from among all nations, and shall come to Zion, singing with songs of everlasting joy."
Raphael, these great events are at the doors, and will all be fulfilled! My heart thrills at the excitement of establishing the foundations of ZIon through you and our other chosen servants!
Isaiah 52:7-12
"How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!
Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the Lord shall bring again Zion.
Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of (the New) Jerusalem: for the Lord hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem.
The Lord hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.
Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that hear the vessels of the Lord.
For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight: for the Lord will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your rearward." (comments in parentheses added by Heavenly Mother).'
Heavenly Mother's eyes were so bright and shining, and seemed visionary as she seemed to see the future glory of Zion! I bowed down before her and my Heavenly Father, and acknowledged their great sovereignty and power to do this great thing that would soon come forth. I then felt very enlightened with her light and strength, and then stood upon my feet on the cliff before my Heavenly Parents. I looked upon their beaming faces with great joy and gladness. Oh, how wonderful will be Zion when it comes forth upon the earth."
189H15-189H19, from Heavenly Mother: "She spoke: 'Raphael, your Heavenly Father revealed to you this morning one of the ways that the evil men and women will seek to depopulate the human race off much of your earth. Their efforts with using the COVID-19 vaccination will be one of their ploys. You now know what they have conceived is destroying the natural immunity of those who accept the vaccine. Those who are thus compromised will help breed much more deadly mutations of the viruses that will quickly spread among the world's populations. Only those who have their own functional natural immunity and those whom we have chosen as our elect and whom I will protect with my corona flame, will survive this first phase.
There are other phases that they have planned which include destructions by severe weather, earthquakes, food shortages which bring starvation, pestilences and war. At one point we, who are the true Gods of the earth, will also create natural calamities. This will surprise these evil ones, for they think that they are in full control of the earth and its destiny. We have their days numbered, and will stop them in their ambitious world domination at the time of our choosing.
We are having you, Raphael, prepare early the New Jerusalem area so that we may start bringing our elect to this safe haven. Once our elect enter into Zion and her cities, they will be brought into the terrestrial realms of the physical earth. Those who are telestial will not be able to follow them into this higher realm, nor be able to even see them. To those in this lower telestial realm, the landscape of the earth will look flooded, barren, or generally uninhabited. However, in the terrestrial world, where our elect will enter, the earth will be beautiful and produce in abundance food for our elect.
Isaiah 54: 17
"No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord."
D&C 45: 66-71
"And it shall be called the New Jerusalem, a land of peace, a city of refuge, a place of safety for the saints of the Most High God;
And the glory of the Lord (that of the terrestrial world) shall be there, and the terror of the Lord also shall be there, insomuch that the wicked will not come unto it, and it shall be called Zion.
And it shall come to pass among the wicked, that every man that will not take his sword against his neighbor must needs flee unto Zion for safety.
And there shall be gathered unto it out of every nation under heaven; and it shall be the only people that shall not be at war one with another.
And it shall be said among the wicked: Let us not go up to battle against Zion, for the inhabitants of Zion are terrible; wherefore we cannot stand. (At times there will be a glow on the telestial land from the terrestrial Zion communities while there is yet a telestial earth. The enemies will know where Zion is located, but cannot penetrate the borders of Zion with their weapons, for they are in a different realm. Even if they were to bomb the land where Zion is superimposed upon, these weapons would have no effect.)
And it shall come to pass that the righteous shall be gathered out from among all nations, and shall come to Zion, singing with songs of everlasting joy." (words in parentheses from Heavenly Mother.)"
192C21-192C26, from Heavenly Mother: "She spoke to me: 'Raphael, we plan the timing of what we will reveal to you and others on your small email list. We plan for the truths we reveal to coincide with them being fulfilled in very deed. We have particularly planned in this way for the establishment of the New Jerusalem on the terrestrial realm of the earth. We will quietly do our actions in a realm that our elect on the mortal earth won't even know about unless they inquire of us, and we reveal this to them. By the time they awaken to their society falling apart, we will have a place already established and functional for them to come to.
During their trial of faith, in their wonderings, questionings, and need to depend upon us, their Gods, we will be able to inspire and direct them to a tangible and real physical place of refuge and safety. Their journey to Zion will require continual faith and trust in us over their current telestial world and trappings that will pull them away from Zion. Each person will need to develop full trust in us and faith in our direction in order to arrive at the boundaries of the New Jerusalem.
Many will dispute such a place, for they will not be able to see it in their telestial mortal earth. People will hear of these great things of the New Jerusalem from those to whom we will reveal them. However, like the Jaredites in the days of Ether who "prophesied great and marvelous things unto the people, which they did not believe, because they saw them not" (see Ether 12:5), so shall many be in your day.
However, our humble and believing elect will hear the voice of our Spirit, and will act and come to Zion, despite those counter voices of the adversary and the non-believers.
Those who come to Zion on foot will come both in 1) the terrestrial physical earth, and in 2) the telestial physical earth, and then later enter into the terrestrial realm at some point. We will pour out blessings and miracles, depending upon the faith and diligence of those who come. This will be the great physical gathering of Israel in these last days. 3) The 144,000 will later gather others throughout the breadth of the earth to Zion. By these three main means we will gather all Israel to our place of safety and peace where the wicked cannot come.
D&C 45:66-69
"And it shall be called the New Jerusalem, a land of peace, a city of refuge, a place of safety for the saints of the Most High God,
And the glory of the Lord shall be there, and the terror of the Lord also shall be there, insomuch that the wicked will not come unto it, and it shall be called Zion.
And it shall come to pass among the wicked, that every man that will not take his sword against his neighbor must needs flee unto Zion for safety.
And there shall be gathered unto it out of every nation under heaven; and it shall be the only people that shall not be at war one with another.""
197E5-197E7, from Heavenly Father: "M.A. wrote to you an email to you yesterday, wondering what your Heavenly Mother meant by a physical attack on your nation. Heavenly Mother spoke about this in your paragraph C4 above. We will allow these evil men and women to continue to compromise the defenses of your nation so that both Russia and China may attack your country with multiple means. There will be long term power outages, physical occupation, and more severe plagues coming upon your land. Food will become scarce and need to be rationed, for those who have not stored supplies or have productive gardens. Violence and calamity will sweep the land, causing far greater terror than in the past. From this moment on, the telestial mortal world will become a very unsafe place.
However, we have gathered many celestial and terrestrial servants to help our elect find safe places and an escape. These difficult times will cause our mortal elect to turn to us, pleading for protection and safety. In their distress, we will provide various ways to help and protect them, and to ultimately bring them to Zion, the New Jerusalem, in the center of the terrestrial land of promise. In this protected land, liberty, righteousness and peace will prevail. The wicked cannot come there, for it will be a place of refuge from the calamities in the telestial mortal world.
D&C 45: 66-71
"And it shall be called the New Jerusalem, a land of peace, a city of refuge, a place of safety for the saints of the Most High God:
And the glory of the Lord shall be there, and the terror of the Lord also shall be there, insomuch that the wicked will not come unto it, (Raphael, we will have our angels and celestial servants lead our mortal elect who will come, to enter into the terrestrial physical realm at some point, and to come to Zion. The wicked will have no such guidance from above, but will remain on the unsafe telestial mortal earth) and it shall be called Zion.
And it shall come to pass among the wicked, that every man (and woman) that will not take his (or her) sword against his (or her) neighbor must needs flee unto Zion for safety (the only way for them to begin to flee is for them to ask of us in prayer. If they do not seek us, how can we guide them? They need to be humble and open enough to receive our abundant guidance from our heavenly messengers whom we will send to them to protect and lead them).
And there shall be gathered unto it out of every nation under heaven (soon we will call upon our 144,000 terrestrial servants to bring our elect from all nations to our New Jerusalem, by bringing them in their own portals to Zion. This effort will follow and will compliment the great work of our celestial servants among our elect.); and it shall be the only people that shall not be at war one with another.
And it shall be said among the wicked: Let us not go up to battle against Zion, for the inhabitants of Zion are terrible; wherefore we cannot stand. (Raphael, the wicked will become aware of the righteous who will start leaving their control and the wicked telestial world. They will have heard of Zion, but they will not have any idea how to go there. Of themselves, they will see Zion as a terror, and they will know that they cannot stand against God.)
And it shall come to pass that the righteous shall be gathered out from among all nations, and shall come to Zion, singing with songs of everlasting joy." (words in parentheses from Heavenly Father).'"
Sat, Nov 5, 2011
America will be the gathering place of all the righteous, only place not at war. This is after America is cleansed of evil, and after the destruction of the wicked at the battle of the marriage supper of the lamb.

Doctrine & Covenants 45:70
70 And it shall be said among the wicked: Let us not go up to battle against Zion, for the inhabitants of Zion are terrible; wherefore we cannot stand.
April 27, 2024
This morning I had the question "How can the wicked even think about going up to battle against Zion, if they cannot even view the terrestrial mortal realm where the righteous will have fled?"
Answer from my Heavenly Father: "Raphael, there will have been those of my chosen elect who will have come among the wicked on assignment. These servants will have threshed them, even as a lion among sheep, or as on the threshing floor when the Jesus Christ figuratively makes their horn brass and their hooves brass to grind and destroy them (see 3 Nephi 20:16-19 and Micah 4:13). These, my righteous elect, will be greatly feared by the wicked because of these past experiences, so that they dare not to come against them, for these are the inhabitants of Zion in an unseen realm. Again, these will have come among them in the past, in the increasingly wicked world of the telestial, and will have destroyed them, by treading them down and tearing them in pieces, so that none could deliver them (3 Nephi 20:16). This will have caused great fear, and the thoughts that "the inhabitants of Zion are terrible; wherefore we cannot stand."
All of the experience of the wicked will have been in the telestial mortal world. They will not even know or understand of the higher terrestrial realm. They will have among them reports of those who can disappear from them, and then suddenly appear and greatly frighten them, or destroy them and their belongings. The way that this is done will continue to be a great mystery to these wicked and fearing telestial souls.
Raphael, you had the question also in your prayer last night and this morning, whether the wicked who might come upon your own property would be able to even see your house and land, since it is now in the terrestrial mortal realm of the earth. In this thought you were correct. If there are evil men or women who intend to hurt or destroy you or your property, they will not even be able to view your terrestrial property, but instead a telestial empty field. These individuals are telestial, and cannot see into higher realms.
Currently, your house and property are all in the terrestrial mortal realm on the earth. To your neighbors now, and those who will do you no harm, they will be able to continue to view this as it currently is.
However, there is a now also a barren field that occupies this same location in the telestial mortal realm. Were someone with evil intentions coming to your property, they would only be able to view this barren field. In this way I will protect your property and you and those righteous who might live there, from the wicked. The wicked and evil minded will never be able to come to your terrestrial property.
This is the same general method that I will protect many of my righteous elect in the last days. They will be moved into the terrestrial mortal realms of the earth at different times, in order to be protected and preserved. This is what is meant by garners in D&C 101:65: ". . .that the wheat may be secured in the garners to possess eternal life".
191D20-191D24, from Heavenly Mother: "She spoke immediately: 'Raphael, you have wondered about our use of the telestial and terrestrial physical realms of the earth to bring about our changes for Zion and in the millennial day. This practice at the end of each of our eternities is very common and is normally what we do. Each eternity is slightly different, but in all cases there are three physical realms on each earth: a telestial, a terrestrial and a celestial. The first part of each eternity involves a fall of man to a telestial state. At the end of these eternities, there is a terrestrial era of peace and ordinance work for our faithful children. We almost always completely remove the telestial mortal realm during this peaceful and higher terrestrial era.
At the end of each earth, the earth dies and is resurrected into a celestial earth. The previous realms of telestial and terrestrial are removed and burned with fire. The telestial is normally burned with fire at the start of the era of peace (as will occur on your earth when Jesus Christ returns in glory.) The terrestrial realm is burned with fire at the end of the era of peace when the earth dies (as will happen at the end of 7,000 years of earth's temporal continuance, or after the millennium on your earth). When the earth resurrects, it comes forth in celestial glory with no lower realms, either in the physical or spiritual states. All those who await judgment will be placed in other telestial or terrestrial orbs of glory until all judgments and assignments are finalized. The celestial people will have gone onto their glory and exaltation. Any intervening waiting period for the celestial will occur on the celestial orb.
The righteous who are exalted always inherit a portion of their own resurrected earth. There is great camaraderie and unity among all the celestial in the same eternity. We all receive immense joy and deep contentment in these times. These are our choice elect children who have proven by their works that they are eternal celestial gods, even couple gods in eternity!'
I asked if there is usually a transition individual like myself, Raphael, that bridges the telestial to the terrestrial changes.
Heavenly Mother responded: 'Raphael, we always choose a capable son to act in the same mission and calling as you have received. Usually this individual lives at the very end of the telestial mortal era, and has a role of preparing the people to receive their Redeemer in a second coming event. In your case, you have also been assigned to build the celestial temple on earth, and to perform the entry ordinance into the celestial church. You have great responsibilities that we are trusting you with! Be ever faithful and diligent throughout your entire mortal life, and we will continually be by your side to direct you and guide you in your callings.'"
176I9-176I21, from Heavenly Father: "You now live in a telestial world that will be transitioning more and more into the higher terrestrial realm or world. Each of these two realms have different laws under which they operate, and there is a veil between the lower to the higher realm. Because of these things, we may transition the lower realm into that of a higher realm and dramatically change your world. This is how we will ultimately remove from the mortal telestial earth those who cannot come into the higher terrestrial mortal earth.
When Zion starts to spread herself abroad on the land of promise, the land will yet have a telestial realm and a new terrestrial realm. In the telestial realm, there will be mass devastation, flooding, and barren uninhabited land because of the great convulsions on the earth's surface. Those who once lived there in the telestial world, will have been destroyed by means of these destructions.
However, on the terrestrial realms, we will have great beauty in the city island of the New Jerusalem and the surrounding cities of Zion. These will be built up and inhabited by those who may abide the terrestrial glory. The elect are our terrestrial elect, and will be quickened to be able to come into our terrestrial world, whereas the wicked in the telestial mortal world may not come or even view it.
We will gradually increase Zion and her communities on the land of promise in the terrestrial realm on the physical earth. As we do so, we will also gradually remove the telestial realm from the land of promise. The wicked inhabitants will either stay and perish as the land transitions into a terrestrial physical earth, or leave on their own. By the time Jesus Christ comes in glory, much of the center areas on the land of promise will have fully transitioned into the new terrestrial realm, with no more telestial realm. In these areas, the wicked, or Satan and his hosts may not dwell or enter.
Upon the arrival of the Son of God in his glory, the remainder of the earth will quickly transition from a telestial realm to a terrestrial realm. All the wicked will not be able to endure the change, and will perish. They will be ushered into the spiritual telestial realm of the dead on the earth where they will have a further chance to repent and change, all according to their desires.
When our terrestrial elect walk to Zion, or come there in the portals of our 144,000 servants, they will enter into the terrestrial realm of glory upon their arrival. Some who walk by foot will walk mostly in the telestial realms, for they are the early arrivals who come. Some who come later may have part of their journey in the telestial and the latter part in the terrestrial realm. This transition will seem natural and hardly noticeable at first. When they come into Zion, the change will be very noticeable.
We have said that there will be a celestial realm of glory in the temple area at the New Jerusalem. In order to come into this area, our elect children will need to have a reason to come, either to serve or to be served by being admitted into our celestial temple by appointment. Those who may wander into this area without such a purpose to serve or be served, will remain in the terrestrial realm on which the celestial realm is superimposed. Only those who come with a divine purpose and assignment or appointment will be admitted into our celestial realm on the physical earth.'
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his remarkable explanation to me tonight! I had never thought of much of this before, and thought it to be very ingenious in God's plan.
Heavenly Father continued: 'Raphael, you come regularly into the presence of your Mother and I because of your appointment to reveal our truths to our elect children. You come frequently and consistently because of your desires and intentions, and because we bring you into our presence. Without such a mission or calling, your exposure to us would be more limited. However, any of our elect are invited to call upon us diligently and we will answer their prayers. In time, they too will see the face of Jesus Christ and be brought into our glory and see us in these celestial realms.
D&C 93:1
"Verily, thus saith the Lord: It shall come to pass that every soul who forsaketh his sins and cometh unto me, and calleth upon my voice, and keepeth my commandments, shall see my face and know that I am."'
Heavenly Father was smiling upon me! I felt his confirming Spirit come into me, and witness the truth of what he had spoken to me tonight."

Doctrine & Covenants 46:7-8
7 But ye are commanded in all things to ask of God, who giveth liberally; and that which the Spirit testifies unto you even so I would that ye should do in all holiness of heart, walking uprightly before me, considering the end of your salvation, doing all things with prayer and thanksgiving, that ye may not be seduced by evil spirits, or doctrines of devils, or the commandments of men; for some are of men, and others of devils.
8 Wherefore, beware lest ye are deceived; and that ye may not be deceived seek ye earnestly the best gifts, always remembering for what they are given;
Mon, May 8, 2017
We are to ask of God about ALL THINGS. We receive the answer by the Spirit, and then we are to act upon that prompting.
51C3-51C11: "This morning I asked them how we need to draw upon their power of healing. Heavenly Mother spoke to me, in my mind and heart, and audibly spoke in clear words and sentences to my mind. Here is what she said, written in my own words after I had received her words:
'Raphael, we have retained all healing powers, for we have the creative and healing powers and cannot delegate them to man. However, we use our children as conduits of our healing power to as many as we will.
herefore, when our healer child comes to us, in prayer, and asks us for a healing blessing, we send our healing power through our healer child as our conduit, if it is a healing request that fits into our plan of life for our child to be healed.
So the first step of healing is to approach us in faith, and ask us to heal our needy child. Without petitioning us, how can we dispense healing on our children and have them know we have healed them? They might as well think it just happened, without us. We are not pleased when our children recognize not our presence and power in their healing, or are not grateful in all things to God.
See D&C 46:7- "But ye are commanded in all things to ask of God, who giveth liberally; and that which the Spirit testifies unto you even so I would that ye should do in all holiness of heart, walking uprightly before me, considering the end of your salvation, doing all things with prayer and thanksgiving, that ye may not be seduced by evil spirits, or doctrines of devils, or the commandments of men; for some are of men, and others of devils."
Once you ask of God, we will come according to one or more of many healing gifts we have shown to you, and that you have described on your website. This is all based on our desire and our will to heal our needy child. You may also receive an impression of the healing gift we plan to use.
For example, recently your nephew Tom fell and received a brain injury. You heard about his accident from your sister, and then came to us in mighty prayer. You asked of us if you would be allowed to be a conduit of our healing power for Tom. At that point, you felt to use a healing gift that we had previously revealed to you, named God's Loving Healing Hands. I came as the one holding the key of healing, being your God. You then placed your hands on Tom's head, in the hospital room where he was located. You were not visible, but replicated in your physical body at the end of the bed where Tom was lying. I came also, not being seen, and sent through you, our holy conduit, my healing light and love. The light came from me into your head, and down your body into Tom's head. You watched as my healing power stopped the brain bleed in the back of his head area. You kept your hands in place until the bleeding stopped and his injury was healed by me, and became as if it had never happened.
I then stopped my flow of light to you. You waited until this light had all passed into Tom, and then you removed your hands. We then both departed Tom's presence.
You then concluded your prayer by thanking me for the healing, and for the opportunity of being my conduit for healing. I was pleased at how you acted as my child who was a conduit for my healing power, to one of our choice children in need.
This is a simple example, and shows the process of asking, waiting for direction, acting as a conduit, and concluding with thanksgiving. As often as you follow these simple steps, one of us who holds the keys of healing will come, according to our will. Those who hold this power are your Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son, and myself, your Heavenly Mother.'"
182F6-182F9, from Heavenly Mother: "We wish you to ask of us what we would have you work on or do in all locations that you will be in, whether in your mortal self or replicated selves. Some activities like planting an expanded garden, we have already prompted you to plan for and do. Others, like buying and building a do-it-yourself shed, or buying and installing an above ground swimming pool, are optional and up to you. We want you to maintain your property right to the end and not let it go into disrepair.
In all of these activities, ask of us and we will inspire and direct you. We will be giving you direction for events and activities that you would normally do without asking of us. However, we want you to now involve us in all parts of your daily living and plans.
D&C 46:7
"But ye are commanded in all things to ask of God, who giveth liberally; and that which the Spirit testifies unto you even so I would that ye should do in all holiness of heart, walking uprightly before me, considering the end of your salvation, doing all things with prayer and thanksgiving, that ye might not be seduced by evil spirits, or doctrines of devils, or the commandments of men; for some are of men, and others of devils."
Our counsel in this scripture fully applies today, even among all of our elect whom we have chosen. We will carefully guide and direct the lives of each of our faithful ones who prayerfully ask of us and seek our counsels. We will lead them by our Spirit, and walk beside them, even as we walk beside you and are guiding you.'"
185H11-185H20: "Evening-I received an email from S.A. today about what I wrote above. She mentioned it will be important to develop the faith wherein we will be able to do all things according to the will of God. She referenced Jacob 4:6 -"Wherefore, we search the prophets and we have many revelations and the spirit of prophecy, and having all these witnesses we obtain a hope, and our faith becometh unshaken, insomuch that we truly can command in the name of Jesus and the very trees obey us, or the mountains, or the waves of the sea."
Like S.A., I am wondering about the process required to develop such great faith.
I came tonight to the north side of the fountain of living water. I drank some water, and asked for my Heavenly Father to come.
He then walked a few feet from my right, from behind the fountain. He came up to me and began to speak to my mind: 'Raphael, there is a sequence of steps that each of our children need to follow in order to develop the faith necessary to fulfill our every desire for them to do on earth.
The first step is for them to come in constant communication with us, their Gods. This is the level we are working on with you. This requires that you receive our word, our mind and will, and recognize for sure this is from us your Gods. Once you know our mind and will, if there is some step or action we wish you to fulfill, then you need to make sure you do all in your power to accomplish this. We will prepare and open up the way to make it so that you can fulfill our will (see 1 Nephi 3:7).
Once this becomes a standard behavior or practice, of you hearing our voice and then acting on whatever we direct you to do, then you will be our true and faithful servant! In continuing in this way of living, your faith will continue to grow, even to where you are exceedingly full of faith and action. You will have confidence in our presence, and our revelations will flow continually into your heart and mind, and will distill upon you as the dews from heaven. This connection between you, our child, and us, your Gods, will be constant, and will flow easily from us to you without any degree of compulsion or restriction. In addition, your desires will flow also to us, and we will order all things for your good (see D&C 121: 45-46, and D&C 111:11). In this state of oneness, whatever you ask of us you shall receive; if you knock it shall; be opened unto you (D&C 11:5).
It is in this state of full connection with us, your Gods, that you will develop the faith necessary to do as the ancients did, in commanding nature or the elements, and having them obey. We hold out this promise to act in our name not only to our faithful sons who are ordained after my order of the priesthood, but to our faithful daughters who are ordained after Heavenly Mother's order to a high priestess. Both are given access to our Godly power as they become one with us, and are ordained to this authority with our approval. They then may exercise our power on the earth, even as did Melchizedek and Enoch:
JST Genesis 14:26,29-31
"Now Melchizedek was a man of faith, who wrought righteousness; and when a child he feared God, and stopped the mouths of lions, and quenched the violence of fire.
And it was delivered unto men by the calling of his own voice, according to his own will, unto as many as believed on his name.
For God having sworn unto Enoch and unto his seed with an oath by himself; that every one being ordained after this order and calling should have power, by faith, to break mountains, to divide the seas, to dry up waters, to turn them out of their course.
To put at defiance the armies of nations, to divide the earth, to break up every band, to stand in the presence of God; to do all things according to his will, according to his command, subdue principalities and powers; and this by the will of the Son of God, which was from before the foundation of the world."
Raphael, once you and our faithful sons and daughters become one with us, our very servants, we will command you to act and do according to our desire. You will exercise the faith to act and to do our will. You will be courageous, and full of faith and confidence. At such a time, even the elements and all nature will obey your words, for you will be commanding even in the name of God and by our direct authority. Of yourself, you will do nothing except as a normal man. But in our behalf, you will act fully in our power and authority.'
I bowed my head before my Father, and asked him to please continue to purify, strengthen, and empower me to know his and Heavenly Mother's will, and then to act in all diligence, with all holiness of heart (see D&C 46:7) in doing their will. He then touched my head and I lifted it up. I then felt like I came back to the earth and ended my prayer in the name of Jesus Christ."
91G2-91G10, from Heavenly Mother: "'Raphael, I didn't speak to you last night because you were too tired and had work to do right after your prayer. Nevertheless, you did the correct thing in ending your prayer when you did. I will therefore deliver my message I was going to give last night.
Lucifer and his hosts who follow him have continually pushed against the rules of decorum that our other spirit sons and daughters obey. These include telling lies, misleading by trickery, trying to take advantage by deceit, and a host of evil manners. Satan and his minions also may appear to our mortal children in various forms because of the inherent capacity and capability of the spirit men or women that they are. We have rules of conduct for our faithful spirits, but tolerate misuse of these powers for Lucifer and his evil hosts for now.
Satan and his devils may deceive others by appearing as aliens of some concocted shape, they may appear as disguised or imitated individuals, or even appear as animals. They may appear as angels of light to mortals. However, in every case they are detectable by the faithful who call upon us in humble prayer for confirmation. This is why you have continually asked our faithful mortal angels to receive a spiritual confirmation that what you write is of God and not of man or of devils.
D&C 46:7-8
"But ye are commanded in all things to ask of God, who giveth liberally; and that which the Spirit testifies unto you even so I would that ye should do in all holiness of heart, walking uprightly before me, considering the end of your salvation, doing all things with prayer and thanksgiving, that ye may not be seduced by evil spirits, or doctrines of devils, or the commandments of men; for some are of men, and others of devils.
Wherefore, beware lest ye are deceived."
You have continually sought the guidance of God and the Spirit in discerning whether you are being led on the correct path or not, Raphael. Many of our mortal children, however, are deceived by men or devils, for they do not think to ask of us, or spend time in prayer seeking discernment from God.
We require of the faithful to navigate through the treacherous mortal tests by the Spirit, or the light from God we send to them. The devils have very limited light, which greatly reduces their power to deceive the elect.
When Moses had Satan appear to him, he discerned him because of the lack of light Satan possessed.
Moses 1:13-16-
"And it came to pass that Moses looked upon Satan and said: Who art thou? For behold, I am a son of God, in the similitude of his Only Begotten; and where is thy glory, that I should worship thee?
For behold, I could not look upon God, except his glory should come upon me, and I were transfigured before him. But I can look upon thee in the natural man. Is it not so, surely?
Blessed be the name of my God, for his Spirit hath not altogether withdrawn from me, or else where is thy glory, for it is darkness unto me? And I can judge between thee and God; for God said unto me: Worship God, for him only shalt thou serve.
Get thee hence, Satan; deceive me not; for God said unto me: Thou art after the similitude of mine Only Begotten."
Raphael, some of our children will be deceived by Satan, but the elect will do as Moses did and discern his darkness and by our Spirit know it is the devil. You have had an ancestor who became a preacher to whom a supposed angel appeared with wings. Your ancestor said he felt the air blowing from the flapping of the wings. This was a deception by Satan. Had your ancestor been astute, he would have seen no glory or light in that supposed angel. Had he inquired of us in humble prayer, we would have led him by our Spirit that this was really not of God but of Satan.
You have also talked to some energy workers who say they have seen spirit bears and other creatures, and that they were seeing reincarnated beings. They also think they have been reincarnated from animals or other entities. This is all false, and this deception is all Satan and his hosts who mislead and tR our mortal children on earth. They then may gain the full trust and confidence of our mortal child, and carefully lead them away from God into dark areas and practices.
I tell you now, Raphael, that you are fully clear of Lucifer or any of his evil spirits. You have the shield of the Father to keep them now away from your spirit and your person. You have been given our power to vanquish these evil deceptive spirits to the prison orb when they overstep the bounds we have set in which they may act. You have been strictly following our direction in acting in your unique role. We have given you our scarlet-red angled sash, an emblem of the power of God, and your sword of Raphael to vanquish the evil spirits to the prison orb as we direct. This work now occupies a good portion of your activity in the spiritual realms of the earth.
To the faithful we say to be humble and seek our Spirit in discerning the truth, and the spirits that are in the land. You have power of perception and power over these evil spirits. Let them trouble you no longer. Seek to possess the shields of the Father and we will safely lead you in every time of trouble. Oh we love you, our elect!'
I saw a warm smile on my Heavenly Mother as she finished speaking to me! I felt assured she would guide every soul and help them in seeking truth and seeking God."
130H7-130H13, from Heavenly Mother: "D&C 46:7-8
"But ye are commanded in all things to ask of God, who giveth liberally; and that which the Spirit testifies unto you even so I would that ye should do in all holiness of heart, walking uprightly before me, considering the end of your salvation, doing all things with prayer and thanksgiving, that ye may not be seduced by evil spirits, or doctrines of devils, or the commandments of men; for some are of men, and others of devils.
Wherefore, beware lest ye are deceived; and that ye may not be deceived seek ye earnestly the best gifts, always remembering for what they are given."
Raphael, even though it comes so natural now for you to pray and commune with us in this beautiful celestial environment, by this very still and lovely forest pool in the celestial woods, please know that this ability you have is a great gift from God! Few people in mortality may do this and connect so clearly with their unconscious mind as do you. This great blessing is for all the faithful to benefit from, including when they read and ponder your many revelations. They too will be thus able to develop this same gift of connection with their own spiritual self, and we will open up in part their link between their conscious and unconscious minds. This is in part called the veil, and it will be more and more lifted as you and our faithful commune with us, even as do you.
Be believing, and let your thoughts and impressions give way above your hesitations and unbeliefs. As you allow our gentle words to come into your mind, we will lead you ever so imperceptibly. Follow our gentle and quiet still small voice, and it will lead you in the ways we desire. At any time, you may ask of us if this direction that you are impressed with is of God. At those times, we will send more light to confirm that this is all from us and is true.
It helps to be in meditative and quiet surroundings during your prayers on earth. Then when you come to places like this beautiful forest pool, you will be able to spiritually see it is truly here! If you cannot yet see it, or into our celestial world, have patience and continue to believe and accept that it is all true and real, for heavy is your mortal state and the veil is still determined to remain. By your own belief and faith, however, you may lift that veil of unbelief and peer into the beauties of our celestial world and even see us, your Gods.
You were recently asked a question about a witness you received from me, the Holy Ghost, that you said was true and faithful. You were asked what does it mean to witness something that is "faithful"?
Another way to say this is that what you perceived or saw spiritually, or with your spiritual perception was true and actual. Faithful is a word of belief in something real and true, viewed with spiritual perceptions from a place of mortality where there is a heavy veil shrouding the spiritual realms of a higher place. Just because one cannot see into these higher spiritual realms does not mean they do not exist. If one is faithful and believing, they may develop the ability to see and participate in these higher spiritual realms. What they see is true, and only seen because they are full of faith and belief.'
I thanked my beautiful and radiant Heavenly Mother who stood above the forest pool in the air! Her light fully illuminated the water and shone into the bottom of the pool. Her light also came into and through me, filling me with light and love. I feel, even now while I write this, the flow of light passing into and through me, even in my conscious mind. I know that the veil has been lifted in me in this regard, for I feel and perceive this so clearly. What a great gift this is to me! I thanked my Heavenly Mother for this great gift of God to me. I told her how I loved her, and said that I would always seek her and my Heavenly Father daily in prayer and meditation."

Doctrine & Covenants 46:11-12,26
11 For all have not every gift given unto them; for there are many gifts, and to every man is given a gift by the Spirit of God.
12 To some is given one, and to some is given another, that all may be profited thereby.
26 And all these gifts come from God, for the benefit of the children of God.
144A11-144A24: "Heavenly Mother spoke: 'Raphael, you received an email from R.S. today. He asked what was the true meaning to speak with tongues (see D&C 46:24). I would also like to address when the scriptures mention "the tongue of angels" (see 2 Nephi 31:13).
I am the Holy Ghost among my children on earth. I dispense the gifts of the spirit to my children D&C 46:11-12,26-
"For all have not every gift given unto them; for there are many gifts, and to every man (and woman) is given a gift by the Spirit of God.
To some is given one, and to some is given another, that all may be profited thereby.
...And all these gifts come from God, for the benefit of the children of God." (words in parenthesis added by Heavenly Mother).
Raphael, I give to our children various gifts. There will be a time when I bestow the gift of tongues on large groups of our children at the same time who come from various lands. This gift will enable our people Israel to communicate with each other when these groups all are assembled in your land, prior to and during the building up of Zion.
My gift of tongues and the interpretation of tongues will enable my righteous children on the land to hear the words of those who don't speak their same language, in their minds, and in their own language. This gift also will enable those to read scriptures or your words in their own language and understanding. The words will be in English and not yet available in their own written language. Conversely, their records will be available to you and others who don't read or speak their language.
These gifts are available to my children, as I desire. However, I more freely dispensed these gifts among those who are our terrestrial elect, for they have been chosen of the Father.
Moroni 10:7-8,15-16
"And ye may know that he is, by the power of the Holy Ghost; wherefore I would exhort you that ye deny not the power of God; for (God) worketh by power, according to the faith of the children of men, (and women), the same today and tomorrow, and forever.
And again, I exhort you, my brethren, that ye deny not the gifts of God, for they are many; and they come from the same God. And there are different ways that these gifts are administered; but it is the same God who worketh all in all; and they are given by the manifestations of the Spirit of God unto man, to profit them.
...And again, to another, all kinds of tongues;
And again, to another, the interpretation of languages and of diverse kinds of tongues."
(words in parenthesis added by Heavenly Mother).
Your scriptures and your words, Raphael, will be written in the languages of those who come, and their scriptures, particularly from the lost tribes of Israel coming from the North, will be translated into English. Those who translate these records will have my gift of the interpretation of tongues. When these records are finally published in their native tongues, then will my gifts of tongues and the interpretation of tongues also be removed. By that time, many will also speak English or the language of those who come.
For some, like you, the angels, and those who come to the New Jerusalem temple, I will bestow the gift of tongues and the interpretation of tongues during the entire millennium. There will be no language barriers in our celestial holy temple!
Whenever we send our angels to minister to our children, they speak to them in their own native tongue. This is called the tongue of angels. The gift of tongues is when one speaks in their own native language, and the one receiving is able to interpret it in their own native language, in their minds. The gift of tongues and the interpretation of tongues work in harmony in this instance, so that both understand each other, and both are edified and uplifted by my Spirit, even by the Power of the Holy Ghost.
When angels minister and speak to our children, they speak by the power of the Holy Ghost, in the language of the one receiving the message. The angel is on the errand of God, and is our conduit and servant, and bears our name and power of delivery.
When one speaks by tongues of angels, the power of the Holy Ghost, my power, delivers the message by the Holy Ghost to the hearts of the men and women who receive it.
2 Nephi 32:2-3
"Do ye not remember that I said unto you that after ye had received the Holy Ghost ye could speak with the tongue of angels? And now, how could ye speak with the tongue of angels save it were by the Holy Ghost?
Angels speak by the power of the Holy Ghost; wherefore, they speak the words of Christ. Wherefore, I said unto you, feast upon the words; for behold, the words of Christ will tell you all things what ye should do."'
I thanked my Heavenly Mother, who delivers the Holy Ghost to her sons and daughters on earth, and her abundant gifts of the Spirit! I loved my visit with her tonight at these circling waters in heaven."

Fri, May 17, 2024
Yesterday I prayed in the morning for confirmation of what I have been feeling about a combined stem cell and PRP therapy in my right hip. My hip has been bothering me for several years. I have been trying to get it corrected with oral remedies, poultice mud and herb packs, the application of caster oil and more. I have tried all sorts of doctor visits including hyperbaric oxygen sessions (now on 23 hours, one hour visits), muscle work, chiropractic adjustments, exercises, etc. This has consumed a lot of my time in trying to get this fixed!
In my prayer, I heard words like this from my Heavenly Father: "Raphael, go ahead with the treatment of your hip with 2 cc stem cell guided injection, along with PRP. This procedure will heal your hip of the reduced cartilage issues and the resultant pain you have been daily receiving. I have guided you to Dr W__ to receive this treatment."
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his words this morning. I will continue to study the documents Dr Wadsworth sent to me, and plan to have this procedure done soon. I feel so blessed of my Heavenly Father!

The gifts of the Spirit are for the benefit of the children of God. If we ask by the Spirit, we will receive by the Spirit--in other words, if we feel prompted to pray for one of the gifts of the Spirit, then we should pray for and seek for it. This is very important for the gift of healing.

Your wife also has the gift of discernment, because she has this gift of the spirit that her Heavenly Mother has given to her.
It would have been far better that this man had not spoken at the funeral, for he did not carry with him our Spirit. We desire only those who teach or expound to have the Spirit of God with them (D&C 42:14)."

When we ask, after being prompted by the Spirit, for a gift of the Spirit, like healing, it will be done to us, according to the will of God. If we are prompted, then it is the will of God.

172C22-172C24, from Heavenly Mother: "I asked her about the scripture in D&C 49:7-"I, the Lord God, have spoken it; but the hour and the day no man knoweth, neither the angels in heaven, nor shall they know until he comes."
She responded: 'Raphael, our elect will know the season of the coming of Jesus Christ to the earth, but not the specific hour or day. I have given you a timetable that gives you the season, but not more details.'
I thanked her for her witness to me!"

Doctrine & Covenants 49:18
18 And whoso forbiddeth to abstain from meats, that man should not eat the same, is not ordained of God;
133C19-133C23, from Heavenly Mother: "In addition to this, you also need wholesome food. Your best choice is the food you grow in your own garden and orchard. For vegetables and fruit that do not store well or which you don't grow, you need to buy and store these, as you are able. You already have a lot of these in your food storage, whether dried, frozen, refrigerated or canned.
There will be a time when you will not be able to buy from local stores and will eat what you grow, what you have stored, or what you may barter with your neighbors. There is a lot of food grown and sold in your country that is not suitable for your body. These foods are in the category of poisoned food (like grown or used with glyphosate, chemical additives and fertilizers), and genetically modified foods whose effects on the human body may be detrimental. You therefore should grow and buy organically grown and non-GMO based foods.
You also have chickens that provide for you organic eggs as you feed them organic food or scraps from your own table and are free ranged in your fields for most of the year.
Until the day of the millennium comes and the earth changes from telestial to a terrestrial world, the scriptural references in the D&C to eat meat sparingly, and only in times of cold or winter still apply (D&C 89:12-13, D&C 49:18). If our children desire to not eat meat, they may need additional protein sources or supplementation to maintain a healthy and energetic body. In the millennial day, when our living water will spread forth all over the earth, and the vibrancy of the soil will drastically improve, our children will then thrive on a plant based diet. There will be some who continue to eat eggs like you do now, and raw milk from the cows or goats or other animals. People will no longer have any need nor motivation to kill and eat animals.
In your current world, there are also poison laden items that are not good for the body that are regularly used. These include some soaps, deodorants, lotions, ointments and such, which may be tainted with poisons that may accumulate in the body where they are applied and used. Care and caution need to be taken when not using natural ingredients. In some areas, the air quality and water may even be not healthy to breathe or drink. There may also be electromagnetic interference with the body that needs to be corrected. When our children study these things, we will guide them in what they may do for their overall body health and well being. There are even some supplements that are touted as beneficial that may be grown or processed in ways that are not good for the body. We desire our children in mortality to take very seriously their own stewardship over their mortal body, to maintain and preserve their health."
142G7-142G20, from Heavenly Mother: "Another thing you have been doing in the past week has been to ask of us, your Heavenly Parents in your conscious mind, what foods have the highest vitality to eat. You desire to only eat the very best food, and yet not have others become aware of you testing or asking of us what foods to eat.
Last night, on your date with your wife, you perused the menu at the restaurant and found something that would be the best of your choices. You ordered and ate this. You also have been doing this in the grocery store. Those foods with a high vibrational content, which are best for you, you assign a number one, those with a medium vitality a two, and those with a low vitality a three. As you consider a food choice you then sense or know if it is a number one, two, or three. This comes from your unconscious mind into your mind as subtle thoughts. You do this quickly and are able to thereby quietly train yourself on the best foods to eat. Your unconscious mind knows what are the most vibrant foods for your body to eat.
Your choices of foods are now all telestial foods, or those grown in your telestial earth. As the earth transitions to a terrestrial world, the plant source will also change, for they will be receiving nourishment and minerals from the terrestrial earth and terrestrial living water. Even the sunshine coming to your planet will be enhanced and come upon your earth as terrestrial light. These all will produce terrestrial high vitality foods.
The millennial earth will no longer be suitable for our telestial creations except our own children for all will transition on her surface from a telestial state to an elevated terrestrial state. This will include all plants and animals.
However, our own children will not transition from their lower, fallen telestial state to that of a higher terrestrial state unless we individually change them. This process will include a transfiguration process done in their unconscious state by your Father and I, like you observed and wrote about on Thursday, 10-24-2019 in the evening. The remainder of our children that are not changed by us will not tolerate the changed terrestrial earth, and will perish, for we will not quicken them to a terrestrial glory.
Thus only our terrestrial elect whom the Father has chosen will be able to enter into the millennial terrestrial world. All our creations will gradually change from their telestial state to a higher terrestrial state.
Raphael, part of your change to a terrestrial mortal person is the increased clarity you experienced in your mind and thoughts. What you felt today, with clearer subtle thoughts, will increase not only in your own mind, but in those that we will change into terrestrial mortals.
They will all have better connections to their unconscious self, and the heavy veil that shrouds their own minds will significantly lessen. Were they to develop skills in meditation and quietness, they would also sense these same subtle thoughts you described this morning.
As you begin eating terrestrial foods, your mind will gradually become more and more clarified. Your physical body will also become more vibrant and healthy. You will lose the desire to eat meat, and your physical body will be able to function well without animal food sources. Until that time, the counsel we gave in the Doctrine and Covenants will still apply.
D&C 49:18:
"And whoso forbiddeth to abstain from meats, that man should not eat the same, is not ordained of God;"
D&C 89: 12-15
"Yea, flesh also of beasts and of the fowls of the air, I, the Lord, have ordained for the use of man with thanksgiving; nevertheless they are to be used sparingly;
And it is pleasing unto me that they should not be used, only in times of winter, or of cold, or famine.
All grain is ordained for the use of man and of beasts, to be the staff of life, not only for man but for the beasts of the field, and the fowls of heaven, and all wild animals that run or creep on the earth;
And these hath God made for the use of man only in times of famine and excess of hunger."
D&C 101: 30-31
"In that day an infant shall not die until he is old; and his life shall be as the age of a tree;
And when he dies he shall not sleep, that is to say in the earth, but shall be changed in the twinkling of an eye, and shall be caught up, and his rest shall be glorious."
The age of a tree means full age of men, that our son or daughter has experienced in living in their youth, teenage transition years, and mature into an adult, and then into a later mature state where their energy wanes, even until a very old age. We wish each to have these broad spectrums of life.
The phrase "being caught up" refers to their celestial resurrection, and changing their main residence from the earth to our celestial orb. They will not generally labor, or live in the world of the spirit dead."

Doctrine & Covenants 49:18-19, 21
18 And whoso forbiddeth to abstain from meats, that man should not eat the same, is not ordained of God;
19 For, behold, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air, and that which cometh of the earth, is ordained for the use of man for food and for raiment, and that he might have in abundance.
21 And wo be unto man that sheddeth blood or that wasteth flesh and hath no need.
88E1-88F6: "I awoke before my family and came to the adjacent bedroom. I re-read the Word of Wisdom this morning from D&C 89. This also said to eat meat sparingly, and only in times of winter, or of cold or famine:
D&C 89:12-13-
"Yea, flesh also of beasts and of the fowls of the air, I, the Lord, have ordained for the use of man with thanksgiving; nevertheless they are to be used sparingly;
And it is pleasing unto me that they should not be used, only in times of winter, or of cold, or famine."
It looks like we already should not eat meat, only a little here and there, and sparingly. In the summertime, when it is hot like now, we should probably not eat it at all.
Well, these are my thoughts as I came to my God in prayer this morning. I came again to the desert oasis, at the bench facing the water again. I felt very clarified and alert. I really want to eat the foods my Heavenly Parents want me to eat.
Here is another scripture I just remembered:
D&C 49:18-19, 21-
"And whoso forbiddeth to abstain from meats, that man should not eat the same, is not ordained of God;
For behold, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air, and that which cometh of the earth, is ordained for the use of man for food and for raiment, and that he might have in abundance,
And wo be unto man that sheddeth blood or that wasteth flesh and hath no need."
In the Joseph Smith translation of the bible, Noah was given this commandment when he came out of the ark:
JST Genesis 9:1-11
"But the blood of all flesh which I have given you for meat, shall be shed upon the ground, which taketh life thereof, and the blood ye shall not eat.
And surely, blood shall not be shed, only for meat, to save your lives; and the blood of every beast will I require at your hands."
Here is another scripture about how beasts eat in the terrestrial state of the millennium:
Isaiah 11:6-9
"The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together, and a little child shall lead them.
And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
And the sucking child shall play on the hold of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den.
They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea."
I came in prayer this morning with these thoughts in my mind. I knelt towards the water of the oasis, and saw Heavenly Mother on the water looking at me! I saw her smile and then walk up to me.
She spoke:
'Raphael, the scriptures you have recorded in your journal are pertaining to the diet of our children in the telestial world. The reference to the millennial day in Isaiah chapter 11 shows that animals will also change their diet by eating plants. The enmity of man and beasts will be removed as the entire surface of the earth elevates to a terrestrial state. It will be a wonderful day in which to live!
You are living in the beginning of the transition state from the telestial to the terrestrial state on the earth among mankind, plants and animals. The plants themselves will transform and provide the nutrients needed to fully sustain our children and the animals that used to be carnivores. The constitution of man and these animals will also become more elevated to fully become sustainable from a plant based diet.
When our children are ultimately assigned a kingdom of glory, be it telestial, terrestrial or celestial, they will no longer need food to be sustained. It is only in the physical mortal existence of our children that they need to eat.
Raphael, in the transition to an all plant-based diet in the terrestrial millennial world (**see below), we are pleased when you eat more plant foods and less meat. When the plants become fully vibrant, then we will recommend that our children go on a full plant based diet.'
I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her words of wisdom in this transition time. I feel very blessed to have this direction from my Gods on diet.
(**Later: I later inquired of my Heavenly Mother whether the recommended diet in the millennial terrestrial world would include animal products such as dairy, eggs and honey. Here is what she told me:
'Raphael, in the millennium, mankind will avoid the consumption of meat where life is taken. The diet of many of our children at that time will include animal derived products where the life of the animal is not taken. This includes such foods as dairy, eggs or honey.')
Evening-Tonight we harvested green beans and blackberries from the garden. I am very glad we are starting to get a harvest from our garden!
I came to God's Loving Healing Center, at the bench facing the lake, which was to the south. It was a warm evening in heaven, just like on earth where I live. I felt clean and pure so I knelt facing the lake in front of the bench. I asked my Heavenly Parents to come to me. I then waited.
I next saw my Heavenly Father walking around the path that surrounds the lake to my left side. He walked up to me and asked me to walk with him around the path. I stood and came next to him. He put his right arm around my shoulder as we walked. We walked in silence for a minute.
Heavenly Father next spoke:
'Raphael, we have described to you some changes in your diet as you transition into the millennium. There are other features of the body as it transitions from a telestial to a terrestrial state. One of these changes is the increased spirituality of a terrestrial person. He/she is able to receive with greater clarity and strength our revelations. They may feel more ability to see themselves like you have described seeing yourself clean and pure. They can perceive spiritual things on their own terrestrial sphere or be occasionally quickened to a celestial state and comprehend even God, the greatest of all!
The mind of a terrestrial person is significantly quicker functioning than that of a telestial person. The terrestrial person may quietly comprehend extensive plans and thoughts. Their mind might also calculate complex problems without having to write them down.
Emotionally, the terrestrial person feels happier. He/ she may control their feelings with greater ease. When thought and emotion control are learned in the telestial world, they will be controlled to a higher ability in the terrestrial world.'
We continued walking around the lake. I was starting to feel very tired back in my telestial world on earth. Heavenly Father said he would continue talking with me tomorrow and to meet both Heavenly Mother and him again at the bench. I thanked him for taking the time to walk with me and instruct me. I said I would return in the morning. I closed my prayer and retired to bed.
F. R's Personal Journal Entry, July 29, 2018, Sunday
I came to the lake at God's Loving Healing Center. I walked to the water's edge and drank some living water there. I then returned to the bench facing the lake. I knelt facing the lake and asked for my Heavenly Parents to come. I saw next my Heavenly Father come in a beam of light above the lake! He came to a point above the water and then walked up to me.
I gazed into his eternity eyes-so deep and understanding! He had a smile. I saw his white brilliant robe. His whole person was glowing with light.
He spoke to me:
'Raphael, my son, you can see how closely your earthly body is linked to your replicated celestial translated body that comes here to our celestial world. Last night you became tired on earth while I was walking and talking with your replicated body. You couldn't perceive well what I was saying at the end, and were fighting sleep. You are now much more alert and prepared to hear my words.
Not only is a terrestrial person more clear and refined in his/ her spirituality, mind and emotions, but also they have increased physical stamina and abilities over a telestial person. They have energy even to an old age, without much degradation in their ability to do physical labor. Their body ages in looks, but they are usually still very capable to the end of their life. They do die, but death comes quickly without lingering in illness or disease as happens with many who die in their telestial bodies. A telestial person goes to the world of the spirits where they continue on with the next phase of life. However, a terrestrial person is almost always immediately resurrected to the level of their glory that they were willing to receive in mortality. In the millennium, the great majority of our people will resurrect to a celestial glory. They then will be able to continue either living in the celestial realms on the earth or in heaven in our celestial world. They may frequently visit friends and family in the terrestrial world where they just left. This will be a great consolation and spiritual witness to those who see them and who remain.
There are other physical changes from a telestial to a terrestrial person. We had mentioned before that they no longer require the nutrients from meat, but derive all they need from plants. Their digestion is more complete and capable of extracting all the nutrients from what they eat than a telestial body. The foods, which are also terrestrial, are likewise more vibrant and mineral rich. These plants are able to be more energy dense, pulling from their roots the vitality of a terrestrial earth and living water that is found eventually in all the waters of the terrestrial millennial earth. This living water is on the earth because the two world centers have fountains of living water. One center is the New Jerusalem next to our celestial temple, and one fountain is in the Jerusalem of old. The living water flows over all the earth until all water it contacts is also transformed into living water. Even the rain becomes living water!
This living water eventually transforms all the water on the earth, once it intermingles with the earthly waters. The living water has precisely the same characteristics as living waters in our celestial world. It is one of the greatest blessings to those who live on the mortal terrestrial earth!'
At this time, I saw another heavenly light behind my Father, coming down from the sky to the surface of the lake. Heavenly Mother was in the light! She came soon to the left side of her husband. They smiled at each other and squeezed each other's hands. Then they turned again towards me and Heavenly Mother spoke:
'Raphael, your Father has described some of the many changes a terrestrial mortal will experience in the millennial day on the earth. I wish to share a few more changes. When a woman becomes pregnant in her terrestrial body, her growing child is more functional and stronger while growing inside of her and when being born. There is little pain experienced by the terrestrial mother in her childbirth. Her body is strong and recovers quickly. She is able to nurse her newborn with ease, providing all nourishment for her child until weaned. Mothers are capable to have as many children as they desire until the time of their childbearing is completed, for their physical terrestrial bodies are strong and vital. Even the last of her children are born with the same mineral level as the first, for the mother is able to maintain her mineral stores even with repeated pregnancies.
Childhood diseases and ailments, typical of telestial infants and toddlers, are rare in the terrestrial world. Children are generally happier and grow up without illness or disease. If there are physical issues or problems, these can be remedied with the healing herbs that grow in abundance all around.
Families are happier and children grow up without sin to salvation, as recorded in the scriptures. Family relations in extended families are based on more mature and healthy emotional strengths, making family ties very strong between the generations. Oh, it is a very lovely place in which to grow up!'"

Doctrine & Covenants 49:23-25
23 Wherefore, be not deceived, but continue in steadfastness, looking forth for the heavens to be shaken, and the earth to tremble and to reel to and fro as a drunken man, and for the valleys to be exalted, and for the mountains to be made low, and for the rough places to become smooth, and all this when the angel shall sound his trumpet.
24 But before the great day of the Lord shall come, Jacob shall flourish in the wilderness, and the Lamanites shall blossom as the rose.
25 Zion shall flourish upon the hills and rejoice upon the mountains, and shall be assembled together unto the place which I have appointed.
Tue, Dec 13, 2011
This is a description of the great Marriage Supper of the Lamb. There will be great changes in the earth at that day, in the valleys and mountains.

Doctrine & Covenants 50:11
11 Let us reason even as a man reasoneth one with another face to face.
37F6, from Heavenly Mother: "We desire each of our angels to see our face (see D&C 50:11; 67:12-12; 93:1). We want each to be continually before us also, as you are, Raphael. For when they come unto us in mighty prayer, and from our hand receive our love and directions, then we will be most happy with them. At that time, they will truly be those through whom we minister to our elect.'"

Doctrine & Covenants 50:23-24
23 And that which doth not edify is not of God, and is darkness.
24 That which is of God is light; and he that receiveth light, and continueth in God, receiveth more light; and that light groweth brighter and brighter until the perfect day.
124E18-124E22, from Heavenly Father: "Raphael, we lead our children gradually, as they accept, receive and act on our messages and Spirit. As they do so, we give them more. We thus may lead them in our light and Spirit from one truth to another. Therefore, as they lay hold upon every good thing we send to them, that is accompanied by our light, they will receive more and more from us.
D&C 50:23-25-"And that which doth not edify is not of God, and is darkness.
That which is of God is light, and he that receiveth light, and continueth in God, receiveth more light; and that light groweth brighter and brighter until the perfect day.
And again, verily I say unto you, and I say it that you may know the truth, that you may chase darkness from among you."
When someone says that he/she is religious and follows God, but is closed to the truths we send to them, he/she is in reality rejecting our Spirit. They close themselves to the light because of their own beliefs and strongly held traditions that are not true. They also may desire not to hear the truth, for they love the natural man and listen to the promptings of the adversary. (see D&C 93:39)
This is why we desire our children to be very open to the light or Spirit we may send to them. If they accept light from us, and act on our counsels, they will receive more. If they are closed, and reject us and our messages from the Spirit, then we withdraw and they are left to themselves. They are then open to the temptations of the devil.
In the end, it is very clear who of our children have humbly accepted our light and truths, for they are filled with light themselves. Those of our children who are dark, have rejected our Spirit and light, and have also rejected us their God. Judgment of our children will be very clear at the last day, for we may see how much light they are filled with. The elect of God receive our light and keep our commandments. These are those whom our Beloved Son accepts into the Church of the Firstborn, who are heirs to our celestial glory, worlds without end!'"
______________________________
Doctrine & Covenants 50:24
24 That which is of God is light; and he that receiveth light, and continueth in God, receiveth more light; and that light groweth brighter and brighter until the perfect day.
90F2-90F8, from Heavenly Mother: "'Raphael, I want to talk to you briefly about our Spirit that we send forth upon the earth.
The Spirit is really the communications and the influence from us that we send to our children via light matter. This is a tangible thing, and can be felt by those who are sensitive to spiritual impressions. For those who don't know of our ways, or the things of God, they don't feel the Spirit, for they are of a lower vibrational level and cannot perceive it.
See 1 Corinthians 2:10-11, 14
"But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? Even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned."
Those who can't discern our Spirit live more in the natural world, and don't perceive the light matter that we sent to them, or our Spirit. We may witness of the truth, or seek to influence them, but they can't perceive the light, or that Spirit.
However, for the spiritually sensitive person, when we send that same witness by the Spirit, or the light matter to them, it is fully perceived and taken as our direction and influence. They are of a more sensitive and of a receptive spiritual level, or vibrational level. The light matter, which we send to them with our communication, enters their being and they recognize this as our prompting or influence. It becomes delicious to them, for they have nurtured their receptivity to our Spirit:
Alma 32:28, 35
"Now, we will compare the word unto a seed. Now, if ye give place, that a seed may be planted in your heart, behold, if it be a true seed, or a good seed, if ye do not cast it out by your unbelief, that ye will resist the Spirit of the Lord, behold, it will begin to swell within your breasts; and when you feel these swelling motions, ye will begin to say within yourselves-It must needs be that this is a good seed, or that the word is good, for it beginneth to enlarge my soul; yea, it beginneth to enlighten my understanding, yea, it beginneth to be delicious to me.
O then, is not this real? I say unto you, Yea, because it is light and whatsoever is light, is good, because it is discernible, therefore ye must know that it is good.."
Raphael, Alma is explaining here that the people who gradually give place in their minds and hearts for the Spirit, or the light matter we send them, gradually become more attuned to this light. They grow more receptive to our influence, and we may help them as they receive it. This word, or seed, or light grows more and more, being delicious to them. We may lead them to all truth and light as they make place and receive the light we send to them.
This is the light matter that comes from the presence of our first parent Gods, that eventually comes to us and we redirect to our child on the earth. It is known as the Spirit of God, the word of God, the Spirit of Jesus Christ, and the light and truth from God. All of this is really light matter that we send with our communication and influence. It is all spiritually discerned, and is very real and tangible to those who are perceptive to spiritual things and give place in themselves for our influence.
We send this light and truth to all of our children in mortality. Those who follow our promptings, who hear our voice of the Spirit, or who receive this light, and obey our directions we send via our Spirit, are the elect of God. We gradually give more and more to our receptive child, even until they come into our very presence!
D&C 50:24
"That which is of God is light; and he that receiveth light, and continueth in God, receiveth more light; and that light groweth brighter and brighter until the perfect day."
We gradually send our Spirit to our children, and lead them, here a little and there a little, for this is our way. In so doing, we can see who is receptive to our light and directions. We continue, one step at a time. Our elect give place in their hearts and minds for us. We lead them, even until they come to their Savior; he elects them into our celestial church, and they are saved in an exalted status, and become even as we are!'
I have been very enlightened by my Heavenly Mother's words! It all makes more and more sense to me, how God leads us gradually, and how the Spirit of God is really them communicating to us via the light matter that they redirect to us. This is received by the pure in heart, those who are receptive to spiritual impressions, or who can perceive this light matter from God.
I thanked her for her wonderful revelations! It is all so simple and clear, how it all works."
127D10-127D13, from Heavenly Father: "Just as we receive the light from our first parent Gods that comes through our parent Gods to us, we send this same light onto our children. You who are our celestial messengers and servants are also filled with our light. When you go on our errands to deliver our works and messages to our children, you always have our Holy Spirit to attend you, as you are humble, loving and receptive to our voice. We will therefore send through you our light in abundance, so that our children who receive your message of your acts will know you come from God. This is how we operate in our kingdom. We are the Gods of light (see John 1:5), and in us there is no darkness. Our faithful know us and may discern clearly between light and darkness, and always seek and choose our light.
D&C 50:24
"That which is of God is light; and he that receiveth light, and continueth in God, receiveth more light; and that light groweth brighter and brighter until the perfect day."
Even as light fills our celestial world on this heavenly sphere, so also we use beautiful music at times to enhance our world. Celestial music is the creation of ourselves and our talented children who sing or play harmonious melodies. It is almost always part of our assemblies and meetings, for uplifting music so prepares and attunes our children to understand more fully our messages. We have also created our birds to sing beautiful music in their chirps and tweets. These songbirds are so beautiful to hear in the forests and lands where they live! Their mission is to uplift through beautiful songs our children and fill them with awe and enjoyment at the sounds.
Raphael, we will guide each of our open and sincere children, in helping them choose music that uplifts and helps them in their lives. They need to humbly seek us, and we will send our witnessing Spirit to guide them in all of their queries. Beautiful music should be a part of their lives, sung, played, or heard at different times on their mortal journey back to us.'"

Doctrine & Covenants 56:1
1 Hearken, O ye people who profess my name, saith the Lord your God; for behold, mine anger is kindled against the rebellious, and they shall know mine arm and mine indignation, in the day of visitation and of wrath upon the nations.
186D10-186D13, from Heavenly Father: "'Raphael, I have sent to you my witness of the state of my impending vengeance upon the wicked inhabitants of the earth. I have appeared to you now in a controlled state, and previously have spoken to you without you seeing me in my anger. I have sent my words to S.A., K and S. Your Mother has come and spoken to you last night in your prayer and also confirmed all my words. You have received ample witness now that we will no longer tolerate the wicked on your earth to trample our words and pleadings to them to repent, come unto our Beloved Son, and follow our gentle ways. We will come out in vengeance in their destruction! We will clear the earth of the ungodly among the inhabitants of the earth, all in preparation for the new terrestrial realm coming upon the earth, and our celestial New Jerusalem temple. We will not allow Satan and his wicked followers to pollute our new millennial world, until the end of the millennium for a little season. Satan's days on the earth's surface are now numbered as we lash out upon the wicked and finally upon him and his evil spirit hosts. Behold, I am in my anger, and vengeance is mine!'
D&C 56:1 "Hearken, O ye people who profess my name, saith the Lord your God; for behold, mine anger is kindled against the rebellious and they shall know mine arm and mine indignation, in the day of visitation and of wrath upon the nations."
The ground then began to tremble upon which I was kneeling, and the dark cloud arose up into the air. Then suddenly a very large fire ball consumed the cloud in a large flash of power!
The sky returned next to its deep red color, and I again prostrated myself upon the celestial orb. I thanked my Father to have shown himself to me in such power and great sovereignty and deep emotion. I said out loud "O God, your will be done!"'"

Doctrine & Covenants 56:4
4 Wherefore I, the Lord, command and revoke, as it seemeth me good; and all this to be answered upon the heads of the rebellious, saith the Lord.
154K3-154K7, from Heavenly Mother: "Your Heavenly Father and I also may change our minds relating to events and saving of mortal lives of our children in mortality, according as it seems good to us. We may command and then revoke (see D&C 56:4-"Wherefore I, the Lord, command and revoke, as it seemeth me good; and all this to be answered upon the heads of the rebellious, saith the Lord."). The prayers of our faithful sons and daughters, in the case of E's life, have caused us to extend healing to E in this, her time of great need. E also chose, on her own, to come back to her body and continue living in mortality in order to be with J, her loving husband.
When Heavenly Father first spoke to you about E and then J on Saturday morning, you heard that both E and J "will die". However, you have correctly changed your journal entry to the words "may die". This was because of E's decision, the prayers of the family, and us extending healing to her and J.
When E and J finally do die in a future day, you and K your sister will assist both of them through the veil into the spirit world.
This experience has been difficult for you and your sister K, and your family. Stay in tune to our voice, be open, and keep inquiring concerning our will and directions. Such dramatic events will become much more frequent in days ahead as this global pandemic reaches into all family circles.'
I thanked my Heavenly Mother last night for these comforting words. I felt so grateful for the lives of E and J that are now apparently on the mend. I continue to pray with those in my family for their full recovery."

Doctrine & Covenants 56:18
18 But blessed are the poor who are pure in heart, whose hearts are broken, and whose spirits are contrite, for they shall see the kingdom of God coming in power and great glory unto their deliverance; for the fatness of the earth shall be theirs.
175H14-175H20, from Heavenly Father: "He spoke: 'Raphael, R.S. wrote you a question about the future of our sick, disabled or aged elect. He thought they could easily give up.
We have provisions for every one of our elect children who are humble and desire to come to Zion. Part of the mission of our 144,000 will be to seek these elect from all sectors of the earth, and bring them to Zion, the pure in heart. They will be transported in the portal of our gathering servants, and brought to the centerplace of Zion, even the New Jerusalem. They will not be required of themselves to walk to Zion, like others who have the strength will do.
There is room for all at the New Jerusalem and our cities of Zion that surround her, including the disabled and weak in their body or spirit. We will succor the weak, lift up the hands that hang down, and strengthen the feeble knees (see D&C 81:5). We ask that every citizen of Zion do the same also, so that all feel accepted and a part of the whole, and equal in status. They should be treated equally even if they have a physical, spiritual, emotional or mental disability or weakness, or are aged or weak.
Coming to the terrestrial land of Zion wil be very healing to our disabled. They will find their ailments will usually lessen or become even completely healed. Such is the inheritance of all who come to Zion.
We have decreed that the poor who are pure in heart, and the meek of the earth will inhabit Zion and the terrestrial earth, while the proud and haughty will never see the land or partake of her glories.
D&C 56:18
"But blessed are the poor who are pure in heart, whose hearts are broken, and whose spirits are contrite, for they shall see the kingdom of God coming in power and great glory unto their deliverance; for the fatness of the earth shall be theirs."'
I thanked my Father for his tender words for the disabled, the weak, the aged, and for the poor in spirit whose hearts are contrite and humble. These are the people I feel most comfortable being with."

Doctrine & Covenants 58:2-4
2 For verily I say unto you, blessed is he that keepeth my commandments, whether in life or in death; and he that is faithful in tribulation, the reward of the same is greater in the kingdom of heaven.
3 Ye cannot behold with your natural eyes, for the present time, the design of your God concerning those things which shall come hereafter, and the glory which shall follow after much tribulation.
4 For after much tribulation come the blessings. Wherefore the day cometh that ye shall be crowned with much glory; the hour is not yet, but is nigh at hand.
197F9-197F14: "I then read in D&C 64:33 the following:
"Wherefore, be not weary in well-doing, for ye are laying the foundation of a great work. And out of small things proceedeth that which is great."
I have been feeling weary in this telestial mortal world around me. I came with this heavy heart tonight in prayer to my Heavenly Mother. I came to the circling waters in her upper gardens on the celestial orb. I knelt and asked her to come to me.
She appeared on the waters. She looked compassionately upon me and spoke: 'Raphael, I understand how you feel about the failing world around you, on your telestial earth. We will let the telestial world continue to degrade and ultimately be destroyed. However, for those who are our elect, who live in your society in your mortal world, we will call them forth and bring them to Zion, as they respond to our voice. We will do with them as the next three verses in D&C 64 that you just referred to.
D&C 64: 34-36
"Behold, the Lord requireth the heart and a willing mind; and the willing and obedient shall eat the good of the land of Zion in these last days.
And the rebellious shall be cut off out of the land of Zion, and shall be sent away, and shall not inherit the land.
For, verily I say that the rebellious are not of the blood of Ephraim, wherefore they shall be plucked out."
My recommendation is to not get too upset by the degrading telestial world around you. This realm will continue to increase with more and more wickedness, with evil flourishing more and more. Think of the glories of Zion, and of this beautiful millennial world coming upon the earth. You will find great joy, and deep satisfaction in this new environment and realm coming upon your earth. Keep your eye focused on Zion and the glories of a better world in the New Jerusalem. Be patient in all of the mortal tribulations that may come your way. After much tribulation, comes the blessings from us in a much happier world:
D&C 58: 2-4
"For verily I say unto you, blessed is he that keepeth my commandments, whether in life or in death; and he that is faithful in tribulation, the reward of the same is greater in the kingdom of heaven.
Ye cannot behold with your natural eyes, for the present time, the design of your God concerning those things which shall come hereafter, and the glory which shall follow after much tribulation.
For after much tribulation come the blessings. Wherefore the day cometh that ye shall be crowned with much glory; the hour is not yet, but is nigh at hand." '"

146G10-146I23, from S: "11-30-19 AM
I read in D&C 43:25-26 where the Lord has called out to His children in many ways to come to Him. I next read Raphael share an experience of a returned widowed missionary, yet neither he nor his wife felt the spirit as she spoke. I pondered similar experiences of mine where this has occurred too. I loved the scripture from the Book of Mormon where the people prayed, sung, and discoursed according as the spirit directed them. What a difference the spirit brings!
In prayer, I called upon my Heavenly Parents for one or both to come. I heard a sound of a drop of water hitting metal, then the sound of a flood of water falling into more water, then again I heard the sound of a drop of water against metal followed by a rush of water into a pool of water, this pattern repeated a third time. Heavenly Mother spoke, "Raphael recorded that many of Our children are not open to Our revelations. They do not ask Us if their leaders are guiding them to Us. They follow blindly without seeking light from Us humbly. They are as the metal where the drop of water hits it and spreads in many directions but doesn't penetrate. Our light does not enter their hearts but is pushed away. Those who are humble and open will receive Our light and truth as the rush of water hitting the pool of water. We desire all to be open to receive this light as fast as they are able to receive it."
At this time I heard a loud call, coming from far way. The voice was strong and powerful. The voice said, "Come!" There was a moment pause and the voice said, "Come!" There was another pause, now louder the voice said, "Come to the wedding of the Bridegroom!" I knew at that moment that it was Heavenly Father's voice. Heavenly Mother took my left hand in her right hand and said, "Let us go to the marriage feast!" We were next in a room with a large banquet table. There was a great feast of food on the table. There were all sorts of people, already sitting and eating. They were people from all walks of life, and I perceived that most were poor or unassuming in our mortal world. I understood by the spirit that they were humble and receptive to the spirit of the Lord. Heavenly Mother spoke," We have called out to Our children by the voice of Our servants and by the voice of my spirit, but most have blocked my spirit from entering their heart. This is true of most all Our children. Your Heavenly Father now calls out to them with His own voice. Those who have come are already beginning to feast as We have directed them. They will continue to feast until the bridegroom cometh, which is Our Beloved Son Jesus Christ. Sit, eat this feast because your heart is open and you desire to hear Our words and follow Our direction to you." I sat as I was directed but I looked back on my loving Heavenly Mother filled with gratitude and love for the eternal kindness of both my Heavenly Parents. A tear rolled down my cheek as I was filled with her love. She then departed and I closed my prayer in Jesus' name as this scene closed before my view.
I thought of Raphael's words that he recorded that many elect would yet awaken as God lifts the darkness and they come before God humbly. Many will yet come to the feast.
Raphael 145G14
"We will lift the darkness that covers the world, and the minds of our elect in our own way.""
Raphael 145I6
"We desire our elect sons and daughters to come before us with no judgment or perception of how things ought to be, but to be very open and receptive to our still, small voice. How can we lead and guide them if they restrict in their minds what words we may say or limit revelation to a very narrow mindset, shrouded with false beliefs and judgments that they are not willing to let go? We cannot give our Spirit in such conditions, for they are not open, humble or penitent before us. They feign that their newest imaginations are revelations from us, or our Holy Spirit, where in reality they are not.""
Matthew 22: 2-10. Parable of the marriage of the king's son.

Second email from S to R on 12-1-2019:
Subject: Gratitude
R,
After I wrote to you this morning, I reread my email. I wondered if others would read this and feel I was judgmental.
I had this thought in my mind as I went to pray.
12-1-19
In prayer I called upon my Heavenly Parents. I heard Heavenly Mother's voice come to my mind, " You wondered if your words in your journal would appear judgmental. You have sought to record our words to you and not your own. Judgment is ours. We have tried to share with you, to your understanding, the condition of the hearts of the children of men in your day. We love all our children and desire all to come unto us. Yet we see all things presently before us and know what our children will choose when We call out to them. Most of our children are ungrateful to us their creators. They do not pause to thank their God for their mortal experience and the many beauties of the earth that surround them. Even our poorest children from man's perspective on earth are blessed beyond measure with a physical body that gives them experience and allows them to act, move, and experience this beautiful earth We have created. We desire more of our children to become aware of our many blessings in their life. This will not come to many until their peace and prosperity are taken from them. This will cause many to awaken to their awful state where they have turned away from God and sought only their own pleasure. We long for the coming day where many elect will be humbled and call upon us in the sincerity of their hearts and be filled with gratitude to us their creators. Oh how gratitude can change mankind and awaken individuals to their divine nature and potential.
I tried to express my gratitude and love towards Her with the workings of my very soul and being. My entire being desired to shout praise and thanksgiving to my Heavenly Parents and my Savior. All I am and can become is because of Their goodness. I then closed my prayer in Jesus' name. I felt Her love and appreciation for the words and feelings of my heart.
Have a blessed Sabbath,
S
I am glad that S and hopefully others confirm what I receive, whether it is the truth from God or not. I actually feel so very ordinary, and wonder why anyone would follow what I say. However, it is not from me as an ordinary man, but from God through me as his conduit. I feel like I am almost transparent, for the words of God are from God and not from me. I say a few things between their words in my journal, but when I quote either Heavenly Father or Heavenly Mother, it is they who speak and not I. Often their words come so quickly it is hard for me to write them down fast enough.
I really like what S experienced in the sound of a drop of water hitting metal, versus the sound of a rush of water into a pool of water. I love these comparisons that Heavenly Father, in this case, gave to him. I want so much to be receptive to the light from my Gods. I want my heart to be very open to them, to receive whatever they send my way. I do not ever want to add my own words or thoughts onto what they tell me. All they send to me comes directly from them and not me.
I also am intrigued by S's account of coming to the marriage supper of the Lamb in Matthew 25:2-13. There is also a reference to this in D&C 58:8-11
"And also that a feast of fat things might be prepared for the poor; yea, a feast of fat things, of wine on the lees well refined, that the earth may know that the mouths of the prophets shall not fail;
Yes, a supper of the house of the Lord, well prepared, unto which all nations shall be invited.
First, the rich and the learned, the wise and the noble;
And after that cometh the day of my power; then shall the poor, the lame, and the blind, and the deaf, come in unto the marriage of the Lamb, and partake of the supper of the Lord, prepared for the great day to come."
Here is another reference to the marriage of the Lamb:
Revelation 19:7-9
"Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God."
I want to understand this whole process better. I am glad S shared his experience with me about the calling from the Father to "come".
I came to the high mountaintop, above Heavenly Mother's upper garden tonight. It was black and there was a full moon up in the black sky. I wasn't cold, and I knelt on a grassy part of the summit of this mountaintop. I don't know which direction I faced, but I then called upon my Heavenly Father in humble and open prayer.
Heavenly Father then appeared in front of me in a subdued light, but he was much brighter than anything else around me! His cape was blowing gently in the wind, and he was very majestic and looked so powerful. I gazed into his eternity eyes and into his smiling face. He then spoke:
'Raphael, your Mother and I shared with S an experience where he heard my voice calling twice "come". He finally heard my voice "Come to the wedding of the Bridegroom!" Heavenly Mother then brought him by the hand into a room with a large banquet table.
Come here tomorrow morning and both your Heavenly Mother and I will show you more of this marriage supper of the Lamb. It is late tonight and you will be refreshed in the morning.'
I responded that I could come here tomorrow morning as he directed me. I thanked him for coming to me tonight this beautiful evening! I closed my prayer and went to bed.
H. R's Personal Journal Entry, December 2, 2019, Monday
I have awakened refreshed and alert. I am ready to commune with both my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother. I anticipate becoming enlightened about the marriage supper of the Lamb.
I came again to the high mountaintop. It was bright and sunny there this morning. I saw my surroundings better. I was truly at the top of the mountain, and there were no visible mountains higher. I knelt to the south, for that is how I felt to do. I think I will be shown what is presently happening, and not some future or past event.
I asked for my Heavenly Parents to come to me. Then both Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother descended to me from the southern skies! They were holding hands, full of the brightness of their glory! They lighted upon the grass while their capes both blew in the breeze. I could hear the movement of their robes when they snapped in the wind.
Heavenly Father spoke first.
'Raphael, come with me to the southern skies behind us! Come to the marriage supper of the Lamb!'
He then moved backwards into the sky and disappeared. I heard his call, from his voice in my mind then: "Come!"
I stood from my kneeling position on the grass, and Heavenly Mother extended her right hand to me. She spoke: 'Raphael, let's go to the marriage supper of the Lamb as given in Matthew 25:1-13
"Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
Then Heavenly Mother spoke again:
'Raphael, the parable of the ten virgins that you have written is the same event as given in the parable of the marriage of the king's son, given in Matthew 22:1-10-
"And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said,
The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,
And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.
Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.
But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:
And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them.
But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.
Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.
Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.
So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests."
Heavenly Mother continued: 'Raphael, in both parables given above, the Son or Bridegroom is being married, and there is a celebration. The virgins are members of the LDS church, some which expect to be called into the marriage feast but have not ordered their lives to hear the voice of the Father calling to them. The second parable focuses on the remainder of the peoples of the world, in every walk of life, both good and bad. All are called to the wedding feast of the Son, for the meal is prepared and ready.
The servants are the angels of God, and other celestial servants calling to all to hear the voice of the Father to come to the feast. However, only a very few, whether virgins or any other peoples, hear the voice of the Father, for they are likened to drops of water bouncing off the metal, for they will not hear our voice. However, for those who hear our voice they are likened to the flow of water into a pool of water. These fear our voice of the Spirit and come to the feast of the Bridegroom that the Father has prepared.'
Heavenly Mother took my hand and we followed the direction to the south where Heavenly Father had gone.
We were soon in a very large room, a banquet room with many tables filled with abundant foods of all varieties. There were also many tables with chairs where the invited guests were eating. There were clean linen cloths over the tables, and fancy plates, and cups and utensils for the invited guests to eat from. The tables were rectangular, and each seated many guests.
Heavenly Mother then brought me to a clean table with white linen, beautifully set. She took the plate and cup and handed it to me:
'Raphael, come and feast from our abundant foods of celebration that we have prepared!'
I took the plate and cup, and walked with her to the food tables. I picked meats, potatoes, vegetables and fruit of all kinds! It was extremely sumptuous and beautifully prepared foods of all kinds.
Heavenly Mother then poured me some drink, of "wine on the lees well-refined" (D&C 58:8), or prepared and preserved for the elect of God to drink with their feast. She filled my goblet up to the top. I then walked with her back to my table and set my filled plate and filled cup on the table. she invited me to sit, which I did. She then spoke:
'Raphael, we are finishing calling all of our elect this month of December, and completing their translation to the terrestrial realms. They mostly won't know that they have been chosen and changed. These our elect come from the LDS church and from all walks of life, from the entire world. The elect hear the voice of the Father, given to them by the Holy Spirit. He calls to them and they hear his voice that says to them "come", and "come to the marriage supper of the Bridegroom." They hear his voice and obey, for they are our elect.'
I looked around and saw, like S saw, many of those who had come and were coming to be the poor and humble, the unlearned and unrefined. They had never come to a feast quite like this ever in their lives!
Heavenly Mother continued: 'We have prepared this great feast for all of our children, and could accommodate all. However, only a few hear the voice of the Father or the servants he has sent. Those who will not hear his voice are the proud, those who think they know us, or think they know of themselves our still, small voice. However, they hear other voices and mistake those voices for the voice of God. Some also hear voices of the world, or of their own self-centered desires. However, if these were each to humble themselves before the Father, in open and sincere prayer, and come to us in the name of our Beloved Son, they would begin to hear the voice of the Spirit of God. Instead, they harden their hearts and will not hear!
Raphael, you and our elect hear our voice because you are humble and open in your heart and mind. All of you are our elect, chosen by the Father and called by him to this great wedding feast!
The hour when the wedding feast doors will close is soon at hand. When filled, we will shut the doors, and no one else may enter. Those inside will be called and chosen, for they will have heard the voice of the Father, and have come to our feast. These will be the ones whom we will bring into our millennial world when Jesus Christ comes to the earth.'
I stood and bowed my head before my Heavenly Mother. I thanked her for sharing the meaning of this beautiful parable of Jesus with me! I said I loved how I now see they are all one together, and not different, and that this great feast is the marriage supper of the Lamb.
I asked when my Savior Jesus Christ would come to this feast?
Heavenly Mother replied: 'Raphael, come to the high mountaintop again tonight and face east as you pray to us. We will come again and reveal to you the answer to your question!'
Heavenly Mother then quickly departed and I found myself in my private room writing all of this down in my journal. I ended my prayer and started my new day.
Evening-Tonight I came to the high mountaintop to the same grassy spot where I came this morning. It was light outside and a few wispy clouds were in the sky. I knelt and faced east and prayed to my Heavenly Parents, asking them to come to me.
My Heavenly Mother immediately came in the brightness of her glory! Her cape was gently blowing like this morning and her hair was slightly blowing in the breeze. She extended her hand to me and spoke: 'Come Raphael, let's go to the wedding feast when Jesus Christ comes!'
I stood and she whisked me away to the same large banquet room that I was in this morning. I saw the same humble and poor in heart people as this morning, but so many more! The banquet hall was filled and everyone had on a beautiful white linen robe, which I understood was the wedding garment for all the attendees (see Matthew 22:11-14). We were all standing, for we had finished the great feast, had washed up and been clothed in these special robes. The tables and chairs in the great hall had all been cleared away. We were looking to the east door of the room with great anticipation, for this is where the Bridegroom would enter!
Heavenly Mother spoke to me while I was standing next to her (I don't think the others around us could see her, but I did.)
'Raphael, our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, who alone was worthy and took upon himself the sins of all mankind, has washed each one of these elect in this great hall with his own blood! Your Father and I have accepted his great offering, and have accepted these, our faithful elect, into our presence, or would soon do so. These elect are from all ages of time of those who have ever lived on earth, who live in mortality, or who would someday live on the earth or be born on the earth. These are all of our elect of God whom the Father has chosen! These are all in this banquet hall. Watch now, and be ready, for the Bridegroom comes in an hour that you know not.'
I turned and looked on the faces of the faithful who were standing next to me. They were waiting with great expectation for the Son of Man to burst forth into the room from the east door in the great hall.
I noticed that all the doors to the outside of the hall had been shut and secured. I saw angels who stood as sentinels above the doors, to protect anyone from entering who might try to enter.
Heavenly Mother then took me by the hand again and we were instantly in her higher celestial realm. She brought me up above the crowd and near the front of the hall, near the east door. It was a gold door, trimmed with jewels, and the door frame was very beautifully decorated.
Suddenly the door opened and Jesus Christ stepped forward into the hall above all the crowd, so all could easily see him! He wore a gold crown that shone brightly, and a scarlet red robe and sash. His cape of the same color was blowing behind him and in every way he was extremely majestic and powerful!
Everyone in the banquet hall immediately came to their bended knees and bowed their heads! I looked down where I had been and I saw myself among the congregation on my knees, whereas in the higher celestial realm I was holding onto Heavenly Mother's hand still.
Suddenly we were all in the clouds of heaven above the earth! Jesus Christ was in front, with his archangels flanking him on both sides, then with all the holy angels. The vast congregation in the banquet hall were all next, on both sides, above and below those next to Jesus Christ. The entire host of the elect of God were there, all in their wedding garments! It was an amazing sight! I was no longer with my Heavenly Mother, but next to my archangel brothers and sisters, behind Jesus Christ in the clouds of heaven.
Jesus then came to the earth in great glory and power! I did not see any further events or happenings. I was deeply moved by the grandeur of the wedding feast of the Lamb, of the glorious entry into the banquet hall among all of the elect first, and then of his powerful entry in the clouds of heaven above the earth!
As I close my prayer tonight, my mind is whirling with this vision I've experienced! I feel so humbled to have felt these things, as they come with deep impressions in my soul. I thanked my Heavenly Mother for revealing such great things to me tonight!
I. R's Personal Journal Entry, December 3, 2019, Tuesday
I have been pondering the vision I saw of the marriage supper of the Lamb. At first I saw the people in the banquet hall eating from the feast that was prepared, but they hadn't yet been clothed in the white wedding garments. They hadn't even seemed aware where they were, except they had all been called and they responded and came. They had been called and I think chosen, but had really not been born again or awakened unto God.
I also knew that last night, when we were all waiting for the glorious entry of Jesus Christ through the gold east door, that everyone had been washed and changed and then clothed in a clean linen wedding garment in preparation for the entry of Jesus Christ. I knew that the fine linen represents the righteousness of the Saints (see Revelation 19:7-9). I believe this also was given to them by virtue of being washed white through Christ's blood.
Alma 5:21
"I say unto you, ye will know at that day that ye cannot be saved; for there can no man be saved except his garments are washed white; yea, his garments must be purified until they are cleansed from all stain, through the blood of him of whom it has been spoken by our fathers, who should come to redeem his people from their sins."
S wrote me an email yesterday and again this morning, asking me what awakening the elect really means?
He quoted Mosiah 27:25-26
"And the Lord said unto me: Marvel not that all mankind, yea men and women, all nations, kindreds, tongues and people, must be born again; yea, born of God, changed from their carnal and fallen state, to a state of righteousness, being redeemed of God, becoming his sons and daughters;
And thus they become new creatures; and unless they do this, they can in nowise inherit the kingdom of God."
S asked what are God's higher ways of the awakening of the elect in the coming days?
I decided this morning to come again to the high mountaintop where I had been yesterday in prayer. I faced south and knelt, for I felt facing south somehow represented seeing things as they currently are now happening. Facing east is to see things of the future, and facing west is to see things of the past.
As I knelt, Heavenly Father immediately appeared at my side! He was standing on the grass, smiling. He spoke to me: 'Raphael, look now into the southern skies!'
I looked ahead and saw a humble man in the course of his life, currently living on earth. He was having hardships in life, common to all mankind. I saw him feeling overwhelmed with life and his inability to face his challenges alone. He quietly went into a secluded place and poured out his heart to God. He seemed so humble and open, and sincerely sought for God's guidance.
I then saw the Spirit of God come to him, filling him with light and truth. He was greatly comforted, and repeated this process that evening, and in the following days. He was taught of his Savior and Redeemer, Jesus Christ. He started studying the Bible and attending a local Christian church. He slowly was changing and being molded into the man of God that he was to become.
I saw that this man had a mighty change of heart, for he was wrought upon by the Spirit and obeyed. He was particularly thirsting after direction from God, which came to him as he exercised faith and took action on all of his promptings. He was becoming awakened unto God!''
I saw then that there was one time in his prayers that Jesus Christ came to him although the man did not see Jesus. He did know that Jesus was next to him, however, and was overcome with awe! He then heard the voice of Jesus in his mind clearly, in his unconscious mind. The man was perceptive and very open, for he was in a prayerful and meditative state.
Jesus spoke peace to the mind and heart of this humble man and said to him that his sins and weaknesses were forgiven, and that he, Jesus, had redeemed and cleansed him. He said he was clean every whit, and that he was fully acceptable to God. Jesus wrapped the man in the love and light of his Spirit, which flowed like abundant water into his being. The man was cleansed and purified in every way, with his garments washed white in the blood of the Lamb of God, even Jesus Christ. I saw that Jesus departed, but that the Spirit of God continued to remain with the man.
I then thought of Alma 27:24-26 where Alma the Younger described being born again, born of the Spirit, and becoming a new creature. I thought of his father, Alma, who spoke to the people of Zarahemla, asking them if they had received this experience?
Alma 5:14
"And now behold, I ask of you, my brethren of the church, have ye spiritually been born of God? Have ye received his image in your countenances? Have ye experienced this mighty change in your hearts?"
I then saw this man arise from his secret prayer, being born of God, being a new man, a man in whose heart and mind had no more disposition to do evil, but to do good continually (see Mosiah 5:2). He had truly been born again and awakened unto God!
Heavenly Father then faced me and spoke:
'Raphael, you came here last night when Heavenly Mother instructed you and you came with her to the marriage supper of the Lamb. This man you just saw was in the crowd of the elect, for he would wear a beautiful wedding garment. This garment represents that he had been changed, born of God, and awakened to hear our voice, and knew our voice. He was perceptive to my still small voice, and obeyed what I said to him.
When I invited him to come to the wedding feast of the bridegroom, he heard and obeyed. This parable is symbolic of what happens to every one of my elect whom I have chosen, for they are called and chosen. They respond and at some point are awakened to God with a very cleansing and redeeming experience by my Beloved Son, Jesus Christ. They then become born again of the Spirit, and symbolically are given a clean, white linen wedding garment. They are numbered with the other elect of God, and await the prophesied second coming of the Son of Man, in the clouds of heaven.
When Jesus comes in his glory, these elect from all of our children ever born to us, will meet Jesus in the air and descend with him in glory to the earth. They will then live with him on the new terrestrial earth in the millennial day, a day and place reserved for my elect who have been or will soon be awakened unto God and born again through Jesus Christ, our Son.
Raphael, our elect who are born again will be fully transitioned into the terrestrial world. They will have also been changed from a telestial state to a terrestrial mortal state, even by the end of the year 2019. These changes are all necessary for them to have the strength and assurance in God that will be required to weather the storms coming upon the earth during its cleansing of the wicked, or the ungodly.
The awakening of our elect will be done one at a time for each of our children that I have chosen. Like this man in the vision you saw in the southern skies, each needs to be born again in a very deeply personal experience. This is done by their Great Redeemer, Jesus Christ himself, like you saw happen to that man. Thus our elect gradually become awakened unto God, and led carefully back into our glorious presence, even as has happened to you.'
I bowed my head and thanked my Heavenly Father who faced me! I knew I had received great truths today, pure revelation from his very being who was in front of me. I said I would obey all he and Heavenly Mother would ask me to do. I said I was their faithful servant.
Heavenly Father then smiled the light of his countenance upon me and I felt his great love and acceptance in my heart and mind.
I then was back in my private room in prayer. I reread what I had written, confirmed that I had written it all clearly and correctly, and then closed my morning prayer."

Doctrine & Covenants 58:26-33
26 For behold, it is not meet that I should command in all things; for he that is compelled in all things, the same is a slothful and not a wise servant; wherefore he receiveth no reward.
27 Verily I say, men should be anxiously engaged in a good cause, and do many things of their own free will, and bring to pass much righteousness;
28 For the power is in them, wherein they are agents unto themselves. And inasmuch as men do good they shall in nowise lose their reward.
29 But he that doeth not anything until he is commanded, and receiveth a commandment with doubtful heart, and keepeth it with slothfulness, the same is damned.
30 Who am I that made man, saith the Lord, that will hold him guiltless that obeys not my commandments?
31 Who am I, saith the Lord, that have promised and have not fulfilled?
32 I command and men obey not; I revoke and they receive not the blessing.
33 Then they say in their hearts: This is not the work of the Lord, for his promises are not fulfilled. But wo unto such, for their reward lurketh beneath, and not from above.
39C1-39C11: "Last night I went back to the area above the lake at God's Loving Healing Center. I prayed, and only Heavenly Mother came. She was visibly upset! She said Heavenly Father was upset too, and was away trying to fix things, or remedy the situation.
I asked her if I would be allowed to know the cause of their being upset. It was quite alarming to me! Her visage was very distressed, and she even said that she was not in a position to respond to my prayer.
After repeatedly hearing her, and asking if I could come to understand what was upsetting her, here is what she said:
'Raphael, we are pleased with you, and generally with our angels. We are upset with our church members, those of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints! We knew all along this was coming, as we do everything. However, when we are actually in the moment of it upon us, we have feelings more pronounced. This is what has happened now.
The members of our church have gotten into a cycle of trusting others, particularly their leaders, without asking us if their leaders are correctly leading them along. This circumvents their salvation and direction from us. There is such a prevalent feeling of 'trusting in the prophet' that they rarely ask us any more what is right!
We have given them their own reason, logic, and all their brain capacity to work through any issue they may be confronted with, in prayer before us. However, it is now so rare that our Saints ask us, or seek the truth, or use their mental capacities as they should. Our desire is that they come unto us in prayer, trusting us, and not man, and even their leaders. They are also to use their own reasoning power and faith together, in reaching their conclusions. Their overall behavior in this thing is disgusting to us!
In addition, there is an LDS culture which has developed, that you have recently felt and discussed with your wife. This is spoken of in D&C 58:26-33:
"For behold, it is not meet that I should command in all things; for he that is compelled in all things, the same is a slothful and not a wise servant; wherefore he receiveth no reward.
Verily I say, men should be anxiously engaged in a good cause, and do many things of their own free will, and bring to pass much righteousness;
For the power is in them, wherein they are agents unto themselves. And inasmuch as men do good they shall in nowise lose their reward.
But he that doeth not anything until he is commanded, and receiveth a commandment with doubtful heart, and keepeth it with slothfulness, the same is damned.
Who am I that made man, saith the Lord, that will hold him guiltless that obeys not my commandments?
Who am I, saith the Lord, that have promised and have not fulfilled?
I command and men obey not; I revoke and they receive not the blessing.
Then they say in their hearts: This is not the work of the Lord, for his promises are not fulfilled. But wo unto such, for their reward lurketh beneath, and not from above."
This scripture is exactly what most of our Saints are practicing. They won't serve beyond their official calling in the church, including free-will Christian service. Their cliques and judgments are used upon others, whom they feel are 'out of line', because they don't conform to their rigid views of how a good member should act. This too is very upsetting to us.
The judgments that we bring upon them are spoken of also in scripture. D&C 112:24-26-
"Behold, vengeance cometh speedily upon the inhabitants of the earth, a day of wrath, a day of burning, a day of desolation, of weeping, of mourning, and of lamentation; and as a whirlwind it shall come upon all the face of the earth, saith the Lord.
And upon my house shall it begin, and from my house shall it go forth, saith the Lord;
First among those among you, saith the Lord, who have professed to know my name and have not known me, and have blasphemed against me in the midst of my house, saith the Lord."
Isaiah spoke also of our exact feelings in Isaiah 1:2-6, 11-20-
"Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the Lord hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.
The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his masters crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.
Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the Lord, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.
Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.
To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the Lord: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.
When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?
Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.
Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.
And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.
Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;
Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:
But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it."
Raphael, you have done as we have asked and prompted you. You have not trusted man, or your leaders at church, but have inquired of us, and have confirmed all truth. This is how we want our Saints to act before us. There are many of our elect that are now in this trap, of blindly following and trusting others. We have a plan to upset their world so that they will hopefully change their ways, and come unto us, their God.
Oh, I yearn after my children who have been misguided and are not coming to us in meaningful worship, prayer and action! How long can we tolerate this behavior?'
With that, Heavenly Mother was still very upset. I stood and put my arm around her shoulder, and leaned my head onto her shoulder. I felt such understanding and compassion for her!
I have been thinking of our interchange a lot since then. I hope I expressed in writing how poignant were her feelings, how distressed she was with her children who ought to act better!"
111B2-111B12: "Heavenly Mother appeared to me in the air next to the horizontal log. I gazed upon her loving face and felt the light of her countenance beam upon me. I prayed to her, face to face, with the desires of my heart for those of my loved ones in need. I asked to become a more loving and accepting person. I felt the love and light of her being as she responded emotionally to my request. She is so very non judgmental and accepting of me, complete with all of my weaknesses. Her eyes seemed very compassionate and understanding of all my desires. She had all the time for me I needed.
Heavenly Mother then spoke: 'Raphael, I will be with you so that you grow to become a very loving, understanding, compassionate and accepting person. You will then be able to serve and bless others even as we would do were we you. Today I would like to talk a little more on the choice and agency of our beloved children. When we approached each intelligence whom I later birthed as my spirit son or daughter, we asked their intelligence if they would accept our offer to become our child, made in our image. Even from that first encounter, they were given the ability to decide for themselves and to choose. We have since, and always will, give full opportunity for these intelligences, now spirits, to choose whatever they wish. We know their will by what they tell us and particularly by their actions. If they say they will do one thing but do another, then we know their actions are what they really want. Some say they will do but then do nothing, and that, too, is their own choice. We observe what our beloved children choose and we reward them according to their desires and choices. We particularly want them to be happy and comfortable in their choices.
Your Heavenly Father and I continue to exercise our agency in our standing as Gods over our creations. We work together, counsel together, and plan our decisions so they will come to pass just as we desire. We have the greatest freedom to choose of all living beings, for we have the greatest ability and power to fulfill our own desires of any. This gives us the greatest latitude to choose and to act. Whatever we place in our heart to do, we will do it. We rejoice in this process of bringing to pass our choices and desires, and to create a new result or action.
Raphael, you may choose to become whomever you wish to be, for the power is in you, in your power of choice, to become exactly as you wish. Once you decide to become a certain way, or to act in a certain manner, or to create a result in your life, you then have power to make it happen. We rejoice in your ability to choose!
D&C 58:26-29 "For behold, it is not meet that I should command in all things; for he that is compelled in all things, the same is a slothful and not a wise servant; wherefore he receiveth no reward.
Verily I say, men should be anxiously engaged in a good cause, and do many things of their own free will, and bring to pass much righteousness;
For the power is in them, wherein they are agents unto themselves. And inasmuch as men do good they shall in nowise lose their reward.
But he that doeth not anything until he is commanded, and receiveth a commandment with doubtful heart, and keepeth it with slothfulness, the same is damned."
There will always be something you want to improve, something you wish to accomplish, or something that you desire to do. Your decision to act is fully within your own power. If it requires our help and blessings, we will assist you, for we have power to lift you up and help us to help you fulfill your dreams, and we will be by your side in these good causes.
By your choices, you will be able to move forward, improve, and fulfill all you desire. Stay focused on your objective and think on it being fulfilled. Gradually, you will become whom you wish to be or to do and fulfill according to your desires.
As you have shown in your life, in this process of choice and fulfillment, we have given you more power and ability to further make new choices and have them fulfilled. Thus by small steps, all made by choice and desire, coupled with the faith to fulfill, you become who you really choose and want to be. You become aware you may do any good thing with God who strengthens you.
Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."'
I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her words on choice and agency, and on our power to accomplish according to our desires. I asked her to help me be more loving and caring to all, particularly my loved ones. I said I desired to be filled with her love and acceptance that she has for me, so that I may be that for others.
She reached out and placed her two hands on my shoulders. She looked me in my eyes, with her sparkling, happy and very deep eyes: 'Raphael, I will imbue you with my love and my acceptance for all my children! You truly desire this thing. I will help you as you make the effort to change. Start acting as you see me act, and I will help you along, for I will constantly be with you, my son!'
I reached out and she came forward and embraced me! I felt her deep love and yearnings for her beloved children! Oh, I want to capture this feeling for her children when I am with them. I want to act and love in a way like her. I came to my mortal self and realized my prayer was ended. I felt the peace and love of God in my heart."
125A3-125A11: "I asked for my Heavenly Parents to come, or one to come to me. My Heavenly Father then appeared above me and he descended from the treetops down to where I was kneeling! He was smiling and full of light. His eternity eyes were loving, accepting and seemed so deep and all knowing. I felt exhilaration and so peaceful in being in his presence.
Heavenly Father then spoke: 'Raphael, we teach our children many truths through the trials they experience. Often the hardest trials or experiences in mortality create the greatest growth and understanding in our children. You saw a portion of an online video of those who overcame cancer and near death. They did dramatic changes in their diets and mental state in order to do this. This severe trial had taught them so many lessons of healing their bodies. Likewise, your effort to deal with trauma from the injury of your son on his LDS mission in 2010 has been a journey that has been difficult but taught you so many truths. We use dramatic changes in our children's lives to teach them our truths that they could not learn in any other way.
You have been actively learning about and taking supplements for improvement in your brain cognition. This has been teaching you how to heal and strengthen your overall body health. We desire that you continue energy testing natural remedies from local plants and those you can purchase that will continue to boost your health and immunity to disease and body deterioration. It is in this way that we will have you attain a higher state of health and wellbeing. We are not going to magically transform your body for your future work and mortal translation without your concerted effort to change your diet and lifestyle. In the process of your learning, you will attain a much greater awareness of how to naturally heal the human body in its mortal state. We desire you to continue to study and test remedies for brain function and overall body health and immune strength. If your physical body is strong and robust, you will have the natural ability to resist the many plagues, diseases and hardships that will soon come upon humanity. Share what you learn with others so they too may make changes in their diet and lifestyle, as they may feel impressed.
In all things, we are pleased when our children press forward and take charge of their own health and not just wait for us, their Gods, to heal them.
D&C 58:26-30
"For behold, it is not meet that I should command in all things; for he that is compelled in all things, the same is a slothful and not a wise servant; wherefore he receiveth no reward.
Verily I say, men should be anxiously engaged in a good cause, and do many things of their own free will, and bring to pass much righteousness;
For the power is in them, wherein they are agents unto themselves. And inasmuch as men do good they shall in nowise lose their reward.
But he that doeth not anything until he is commanded, and receiveth a commandment with doubtful heart, and keepeth it with slothfulness, the same is damned.
Who am I that made man, saith the Lord, that will hold him guiltless that obeys not my commandments?"
We desire that our elect children are proactive, taking steps to increase their own knowledge and grow in skills that they may need to be more effective servants to us, their Heavenly Parents and to Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son. We will guide them by our Spirit, but they need to take the initiative to learn, act and grow.
2 Nephi 32:3-5
"...Wherefore, I said unto you, feast upon the words of Christ; for behold, the words of Christ will tell you all things what you should do.
Wherefore, now after I have spoken these words, if ye cannot understand them it will be because ye ask not, neither do ye knock; wherefore, ye are not brought into the light, but must perish in the dark.
For behold, again I say unto you that if ye will enter in by the way, and receive the Holy Ghost, it will show unto you all things what ye should do."
Also 2 Nephi 31:20
"Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life."
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his clear message this morning! I committed to him to work diligently on my own health, and to take more charge of my own life. I told him that his words were so pleasing and delicious to me and that I want to always follow him where he may lead me. I will seek to act on all his even subtle impressions."
154B3-154B4: "I asked for her counsel and guidance. She asked me to write her words in my journal:
'Raphael, your mortal world around you is going to be greatly changing. It is well that you and your wife plan what you exactly will do to stay at home and limit visits with others. You will need to adjust your current lifestyle for a while. However, this is our will for you and our elect whom we wish to preserve. As you do all you can in protecting yourself, then we will extend more fully our protection. We do not want any of our mortal angels or celestial mortal servants to recklessly go among those who are afflicted with the coronavirus, or other diseases that may come among the people.
D&C 58:29-31:
"But he that doeth not anything until he is commanded, and receiveth a commandment with doubtful heart, and keepeth it with slothfulness, the same is damned.
Who am I that made man, saith the Lord, that will hold him guiltless that obeys not my commandments?
Who am I, saith the Lord, that have promised and have not fulfilled?""

Doctrine & Covenants 58:27-28
27 Verily I say, men should be anxiously engaged in a good cause, and do many things of their own free will, and bring to pass much righteousness;
28 For the power is in them, wherein they are agents unto themselves. And inasmuch as men do good they shall in nowise lose their reward.
118J28-118J31: "Heavenly Father spoke to me: 'Raphael, the mortal life of our children on earth can be a wonderful experience of growth and learning. It provides such valuable lessons that are nowhere else possible to receive except in a fallen mortal world. These experiences you enjoy will serve you well, even in a future day when you look back on your life in fond remembrances. Our children are so varied in their interests and talents! We are so pleased when they add to their own strengths and enlarge their abilities.
D&C 58:27-28: "Verily I say, men (and women) should be anxiously engaged in a good cause, and do many things of their own free will, and bring to pass much righteousness;
For the power is in them, wherein they are agents unto themselves. And inasmuch as men do good they shall in nowise lose their reward." (parentheses added by Heavenly Father)
These verses apply to my children expanding their interests and developing their talents. It always pleases us when our children work hard and improve themselves while in the various spheres of their probation. Earth life is particularly a wonderful place to do so since our children have physical bodies, which are such a wonderful blessing to them.
We encouraged our children to learn, grow and develop in their skills and talents in their pre-mortal, mortal and post mortal worlds that they live in. There is never a time where they should do nothing, or just stay the same. We encourage them to always grow and learn, develop and improve.'"

Doctrine & Covenants 58:32-33
32 I command and men obey not; I revoke and they receive not the blessing.
33 Then they say in their hearts: This is not the work of the Lord, for his promises are not fulfilled. But wo unto such, for their reward lurketh beneath, and not from above.
123D10-123D16, from Heavenly Father: "Raphael, this light enlightens your understanding, for the light matter comes into your entire body and enlivens your very being. You have felt this intense light of the Holy Ghost come from your Heavenly Mother to you and pass through your entire being. This is intense light matter that is more concentrated from her being that passes into and through you. It originally comes from our first parent Gods at the center of the universe, and proceeds through the immensity of space to our galaxy to us, and from us to your earth and to you. This same light enlightens your understanding as it passes into and through you. We may add with this light the emotions of love and acceptance and power and understanding, as we desire. These palpable feelings enlighten your mind and entire being as the light flows into you.
When we wish to enlighten your understanding with our revelations, we send forth this same light from our beings, coupled with the message or emotion we wish to give you. Your mind receives this light and message, which enlightens your understanding. This is pure communication and revelation send from us to you. All of our thoughts and words are also sent with our light. These are also understandable to you, and you receive the exact meaning and message as it is embedded with the light that quickens your understanding.
Alma spoke of this enlightenment from God that comes when you and our children receive our light, which is imbued with our revelations and quickens the understanding of our children (see Alma 32:28). The light, or spirit of the Lord, "begins to swell within your breast; and when you feel these swelling motions, ye will begin to say within yourselves-it must needs be that this is a good seed, or that the word is good, for it beginneth to enlarge my soul; yea, it beginneth to enlighten my understanding, yea it beginneth to be delicious to me."
We thus may send our words, our thoughts, and our emotions all with the light matter that flows into our receptive children. When they receive this, their understanding are enlightened and it becomes delicious to their souls. This is very real, and is the very process of how we lead our children gradually, line upon line, with our revelations. This light with which we send our messages to our child is the medium that comes into their spirit and body. This is also the same light that comes to you from your Heavenly Mother when she sends forth the intense light of the Holy Ghost. It is all the same light matter, only in different intensities, and couples with different revelations as we desire, whether an emotion or feeling, or thoughts and words. All enlightens and gives understanding to our receptive children.
There are those of our children who reject our truths we send to them with our light. They are not enlightened nor do they understand, for they cast out the light we send, and by their own will do not allow the light to come into their minds and hearts. They therefore cast it away because of unbelief. They are then not enlightened, for our light only comes into our receptive children. The messages and revelations we send to them in our light are cast aside and never reach our recipient.
We therefore may only give our revelations to our receptive and humble children who open their minds and hearts to us. If they have preconceived ideas, and close their minds and hearts to us, the light does not flow into them, but is repelled because of their own will and choice. They may turn aside our counsels, shrouded in our light that we send to them. Our revelations come into them only if they receive them. If they don't receive our light and truth that we send to them, they will not receive our revelations. We then revoke the blessing that would have attended our words and light. They then "say in their hearts: This is not the work of the Lord, for his promises are not fulfilled. But wo unto such, for their reward lurketh from beneath, and not from above." (See D&C 58:32-33) See also (D&C 93:31-32).
For the faithful who are humble and open, we send our light and revelations gradually, to lead them carefully and to receive more. As they obey, we give them more. You have received all that we have given to you, for you have been open receptive, and your understanding have been enlarged. This is the way we give our elect our revelations-all shrouded and coupled with our light that comes from us."

Doctrine & Covenants 59:1-3
1 Behold, blessed, saith the Lord, are they who have come up unto this land with an eye single to my glory, according to my commandments.
2 For those that live shall inherit the earth, and those that die shall rest from all their labors, and their works shall follow them; and they shall receive a crown in the mansions of my Father, which I have prepared for them.
3 Yea, blessed are they whose feet stand upon the land of Zion, who have obeyed my gospel; for they shall receive for their reward the good things of the earth, and it shall bring forth in its strength.
171C5-171C12, from Heavenly Mother: "She spoke to my mind: 'Raphael, my son, you are correct in what you have written last night from your Heavenly Father. The transition from a muddy and flooded area to one like the garden of Eden will be very quick and remarkable!
Your two older archangel brothers experienced something akin to this. Michael came to earth as Adam, and with his wife Eve was placed in a beautiful garden east in Eden. Gabriel and his wife and three sons and wives left the ark and came to an area recently flooded, with many muddy areas that needed to be drained so they could plant and start anew a world where our children could live and flourish again. You, Raphael, will be privileged to begin the start of the terrestrial earth in the New Jerusalem area. You will direct many celestial and mortal men and women to help transform the muddy flooded land into a terrestrial heaven on earth. This is your mission we have been preparing you to do!
We are allowing our celestial servants to gather and plant seeds grown on our celestial orb. This was most recently done to prepare the garden of Eden before Adam and Eve came. These plants will be selected for their beauty and their ability to feed and satisfy the hunger of the many who will soon come to the centerplace of Zion, even the New Jerusalem.
We want the land to the borders of the New Jerusalem to be filled with beauty and abundant growing food for the weary travelers to Zion to finally rest and eat their fill. We want them to drink freely of the living terrestrial waters that will flow from the fissure at the center spot of Zion. This food and drink will greatly revive them and further change their bodies to become strong, terrestrial mortal beings, filled with the love of God and for their fellow elect who are gathered there.
We will protect all with our Godly powers, for "no weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord" (Isaiah 54:17).
Your Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and I will come among the newcomers to the land of Zion in disguise frequently, to welcome and work side by side with them. This experience for us will bring great joy and satisfaction. All will live in love and harmony.
Speaking on this very land in Jackson County, Missouri, Joseph Smith our prophet received this revelation in 1831, one hundred ninety years earlier than its fulfillment.
D&C 59:1-3
"Behold, blessed, saith the Lord, are they who have come up unto this land with an eye single to my glory, according to my commandments.
For those that live shall inherit the earth, and those that die shall rest from all their labors, and their works shall follow them; and they shall receive a crown in the mansions of my Father, which I have prepared for them.
Yea, blessed are they whose feet stand upon the land of Zion, who have obeyed my gospel, for they shall receive for their reward the good things of the earth, and it shall bring forth in its strength."
Raphael, we are in a meadow on the celestial orb now, where you have never visited before. When you come today, in constant prayer, to think and muse on these things, I will be here to answer any questions you may have. Oh, these times of the start of the New Jerusalem thrill my soul and give me much joy!'"

2 For those that live shall inherit the earth, and those that die shall rest from all their labors, and their works shall follow them; and they shall receive a crown in the mansions of my Father, which I have prepared for them.
137B1-137B14: "I love awakening to bright sunshine streaming through the east window in the morning! I see the patterns and signs in nature from our celestial orb repeated on earth. When I think of it, of course it would be this way! The very plants and animals on earth have been propagated from resurrected plants and animals that live on the celestial orb. All earths are therefore very similar in how they appear. Our very weeds, flowers and trees are of the same species from eternity to eternity on the mortal and now immortal earths of previous eternities, as they are currently on our own earth. Our very sun, moon and stars are the same as on previous few earths, for our solar system is reused for a specified number of times by the earths that come into the same location in our solar system. It is all a marvelous plan!
I am feeling happy and well rested this lovely Sabbath morning. I came to our beloved celestial orb to the little stream in the desert, not far to the southwest of the desert oasis where I often pray. There is a walking path next to the stream bed. I decided to pray upon this path, facing the little stream in the small gully. I knelt and asked for my Heavenly Parents to come.
As I waited, I saw my Heavenly Father walking toward me on the path to my right. He soon arrived and I turned on my knees to face him. He was very majestic and bright, with his eternity eyes so very deep and understanding. I loved that he smiled compassionately on me too.
Heavenly Father spoke to my mind, in my thoughts: 'Raphael, you have written in your journal this morning that we reuse the same solar system for a series of earths, each from a different eternity. This is true. It is also true that were you to come to earths of different eternities, you would find the same plants and animals on these our creations. We have introduced new species that we create on the new earths, but by and large these are all very similar. All of the plants and animals on our earths come from our celestial orb.
Many of these same kinds and species of these plants and animals were also on the very first creations of our first parent Gods. We, who are Gods in eternity, keep creating new species and freely share these with each other.
The role of being a God is a very creative process and a wonderful life! Your Heavenly Mother and I love this creative part. We are continually envisioning new ways to form the earth, to create plants that meet certain of our requirements of beauty, function or purpose.
In your own state of Utah, we have created beautiful rock formations in the areas of Bryce Canyon Arches and Zion National Parks that continually amaze visitors. These, our creations, have taken us millions of years of mortal time in the process. We have planned these beautiful rock creations from the beginning of the physical creation of your earth. These beauties will remain or be restored even when the earth is resurrected to a celestial glory.
We have made many walking trails for our children and us on our celestial orb. These same sorts of parks, paths, and natural beauty reserves will be on your resurrected earth. There are natural waterfalls, rivers, lakes, forests, deserts, jungles, and all sorts of terrain for our plant and animal creations that beautify our eternal worlds. We do this to please the eye and gladden the heart of our children and our other creations.
When your earth is resurrected, we will give to our faithful couple Gods a portion of the earth as their own land of their first inheritance. This is initially beautified by us, their Heavenly Parents. However, since it becomes their initial eternal inheritance, they may modify this area, as they desire. Some of our children, who are now gods in their own galaxies, still come back frequently to their home-based resurrected earth. Some keep it just like we originally beautified it for them, and some change their own first inheritance based on their desires. Most no longer bring their spirit children to their own original inheritance, since they have their own celestial orbs as their base home, where their children live and know as their home.
The resurrected earths in our own galaxy are all adorned in great beauty and splendor! Each has its own celestial city and temple that was constructed on their own earth during their millennial day of rest. Each temple is unique and very beloved of their own inhabitants who became gods in that particular eternity. They may also visit their own celestial library on their own earth to review past records and their own Book of Life. It is in this Book of Life where their own pre-mortal name is recorded as being faithful and promised eternal life and exaltation. Viewing these records brings a flood of happy memories to these now gods who view them. There is a lot of joy in the eternal worlds in our own galaxy!'
I could see how happy my Father was in contemplating all of these things. I gazed into his eyes and somehow was carried away to his and Heavenly Mother's land of their own inheritance, on their own resurrected earth! I saw Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother there, welcoming me to their original home. Heavenly Mother spoke:
'Raphael, we decided to leave our beautiful home and land just as our own Heavenly Parents prepared it for us in the beginning. This is our mansion, spoken of by Jesus Christ in John 14:2: "In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you." (see also D&C 72:4 and D&C 59:2).'
We then walked around together on their beautiful mansion and grounds! There was a large house, with many windows and surrounding gardens adorned with flowers, bushes and trees. There was a lake and stream on their property. Fish were abundant in the waters, and beautiful birds were all around. It was so heavenly and idyllic! I felt so blessed to have come here with them!
We paused and they both turned and faced me. Heavenly Mother spoke:
'Raphael, we already are planning your own mansion and estate that you will share with your wife in your own future resurrected earth! We know you will both be very pleased with the details of our beautiful gift to you!'"

3 Yea, blessed are they whose feet stand upon the land of Zion, who have obeyed my gospel; for they shall receive for their reward the good things of the earth, and it shall bring forth in its strength.
171D36-171D38, from Heavenly Mother: "She continued: 'Raphael, many of our elect have loved ones who have been injured or are crippled by the seemingly random consequences of living in a fallen telestial world. When they bring to Zion these injured loved one, most will receive great blessings including restoration of their physical, mental, emotional and spiritual functions. Our many healing plants and foods, plus the terrestrial living water, will have a remarkable effect on their mortal body. Many will be healed and become whole again. Oh what joy will fill their hearts, and those of their loved ones, who witness and experience these changes!
D&C 59:3
"Yea, blessed are they whose feet stand upon the land of Zion, who have obeyed my gospel; for they shall receive for their reward the good things of the earth, and it shall bring forth in its strength."
The good things of the earth, in its strength in Zion, the New Jerusalem, will be sufficient to correct human ailments, diseases, and body systems and organs that need correcting, in most instances.'"

Doctrine & Covenants 59:6
6 Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. Thou shalt not steal; neither commit adultery, nor kill, nor do anything like unto it.
200B11-200B14, from Heavenly Mother: "She spoke: 'Raphael, we want you to accept and love all our children, even as I am accepting and loving with you. This means you care about them, how they feel and what pleases them. You are interested in what they do in their life, their current activities, and what they really enjoy. You spend focused one on one time with each one, and become their confidant. You listen a lot, and accept them and their decisions. You don't offer advice unless they ask for this and want it. In all their ups and downs, you become a steady friend. This is how we act for you.
Over the years you have learned to trust us, your Gods. We enlighten you and send our Spirit to help you receive our revelations and heavenly perspectives. You know that we are constantly by your side. We protect you and give you our counsels as you seek these. These things we want you to also do as you are able for those who become your friend and who learn to trust you. You should always point them to us, to gain a strong relationship with us, their Heavenly Parents. We will lead and guide them, and love and accept them, even as we have done for you.
In our Zion society soon coming upon the terrestrial earth, we want such accepting and loving relationships to develop between our children. We want each to think of their neighbor's wants and needs, even as their own. We want them to love their neighbor as themselves, even as our Son Jesus Christ taught (see Matthew 5:43-47; D&C 59:6)'
I then felt again the great love and acceptance from Heavenly Mother, just as I was, even with all my weaknesses and foibles. I expressed my love to her, and thanked her for our loving relationship."

Doctrine & Covenants 59:16-20
16 Verily I say, that inasmuch as ye do this, the fulness of the earth is yours, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air, and that which climbeth upon the trees and walketh upon the earth;
17 Yea, and the herb, and the good things which come of the earth, whether for food or for raiment, or for houses, or for barns, or for orchards, or for gardens, or for vineyards;
18 Yea, all things which come of the earth, in the season thereof, are made for the benefit and the use of man, both to please the eye and to gladden the heart;
19 Yea, for food and for raiment, for taste and for smell, to strengthen the body and to enliven the soul.
20 And it pleaseth God that he hath given all these things unto man; for unto this end were they made to be used, with judgment, not to excess, neither by extortion.
138H12-138H19, from Heavenly Mother: "In the beginning we cursed the land for the sake of Adam and Eve, so that they and their posterity would be propelled into a telestial world. At the end of the six thousand years of our children living in this fallen world, we will cleanse the world from sin and bless the earth for the sake of those elect millennial sons and daughters who follow, and for those who transition into the terrestrial world.
In this world of the millennium, there will still be need of hard work and productivity to sustain oneself. However, the earth will bring forth in much greater abundance and it will be easier to obtain more. There will be among our children a Zion society, where there will be no poor among them. The aggressive governments and nations will disappear, and our people will live in peaceful settlements. We will bless and prosper all who provide for their own wants and needs, and there will be enough for them to share of their abundance with those around them. They will share freely because of the love of God that is abundant in the land!"
Heavenly Mother walked next to me, extended her hand, and I stood and took her hand.
'Raphael, let's stroll now through my garden behind you!'
We walked up paths next to her beautiful garden beds. They were so lush and produced whatever one could possibly grow from the ground for food for man. I know these were on the earth too.
D&C 59:18-20-"Yea, all things which come of the earth, in the season thereof, are made for the benefit and the use of man, both to please the eye and to gladden the heart.
Yea, for food and for raiment, for taste and for smell, to strengthen the body and to enliven the soul.
And it pleaseth God that he hath given all these things unto man; for unto this end were they all made to be used, with judgment, not to excess, neither by extortion.""
139G1-139G15: "I slept in an hour later than normal. The house is quiet and I am in a meditative state. I feel my replicated celestial being is in the forest just north of the pocketed rock wall. There is a path through the forest that I am on. I was walking north, to the large rocky cliffs. Here is where Enoch's city lies below the cliffs.
I then decided to stop walking and to kneel off the side of the path. I am all alone and wondered if my connection to my Father and Mother, and where I am physically located anywhere that I may be in the universe, may be hidden from them? On second thought, I am sure that they always know where every one of their children or creations are located at any time! I believe this is because of the eternal connection to their abundant creations that they agreed to and made with them in the day they were created. They therefore always know where each one is located, how they are doing, and what issues each one may b e dealing with.
Matthew 6:26
"Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?"
I knelt on the soft soil under the majestic trees, and asked for one or both of my Heavenly Parents to come to me.
My Heavenly Father next came walking down the path next to me, from the north! He was brightly shining and seemed so happy. Soon he came upon me and stopped in front of me.
He spoke: 'Raphael, come with me to the north on this path, to the rocky cliffs!'
I stood and we walked side by side along the path through the woods. 'Raphael, these woods are of ancient date, for I love how they have been, even from their first creation , when our celestial orb was created in the beginning. We have changed the geography of many areas on our celestial orb, but this has remained untouched. The rocky cliffs are also untouched from the beginning, but the valley below it is continually changed from eternity to eternity.'
We soon arrived at the rocky cliffs. The sun was shining all around. I saw a male and female brown bear nearby that walked over to us. Heavenly Father stroked their heads and smiled upon them. They then walked into the forest from where we had come.
Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, this pair of bears are resurrected and have been living in these woods since our first eternity. They are both very content and happy to be here. From these two bears have come all of the brown bears of their own kind on your earth. These couple bears propagated a male and female bear on earth and then returned again to this forested area on our celestial orb. Their offspring then produced all of their species on your earth soon after the time when they were created. They were born as celestial mortal bears, but soon became part of the terrestrial garden of Eden creation and lowered to a terrestrial glory. When the earth became telestial, these bears also became telestial.
We watch over all of our creations, including those who are descendants of this couple pair of bears, for they are all our creations. We provide for them in all of their realms of glory they may be in.
Matthew 6:28-34
"And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? Or, What shall we drink? Or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof."
Your Heavenly Mother and I beautify and sustain all of our creations! We establish nature and the beautiful balance and loveliness of the world. We provide for all in your fallen telestial world. It is man who comes and upsets our creations with his construction, pollutions, and works. Also, our sons and daughters are in charge of all others of creations, for they were given "dominion over all the beasts of the field" (see Moses 5:1), and over every living thing we had created for their enjoyment.
D&C 59:16-20
"Verily I say, that inasmuch as ye do this, the fulness of the earth is yours, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air, and that which climbeth upon the trees and walketh upon the earth;
Yea, and the herb, and the good things which come of the earth, whether for food or for raiment, or for houses, or for barns, or for orchards, or for gardens, or for vineyards;
Yea, all things which come of the earth, in the season thereof, are made for the benefit and the use of man, both to please the eye and to gladden the heart;
Yea, for food and for raiment, for taste and for smell, to strengthen the body and to enliven the soul,
And it pleaseth God that he hath given all these things unto man; for unto this end were they made to be used, with judgment, not to excess, neither by extortion."
Once a man or a woman seek us first, they will lessen their worry about clothing themselves in a particular garb, or eating a particular food, for we will provide all for them. They are still to plan for the days of want ahead in your world, but we will be with them and help them find food, clothing, and basic needs.
We will inspire them and direct them with what they should store or make, and the skills they need to possess to be self-reliant. Of all our creations, our own sons and daughters will be cared for, who first come unto us and seek to do our will. There will be struggles and growth, for this is the very purpose of mortal life.'
We looked down upon the beautiful city of Enoch, nestled in the valley below. I could see that this city fit very well with nature and with the beauty of this celestial world."
199G8-199G11, from Heavenly Mother: "She continued: 'Raphael, there are many varieties of beautiful plants including flowers, bushes, trees, and water plants. These are all in their splendor and beauty. Our celestial animals are also located in my garden areas, to enjoy and to communicate with. These are unafraid of our own children who may come there.
This scripture will then be fulfilled:
D&C 59:18-20
"Verily I say, that inasmuch as ye do this (as I have spoken this morning), the fulness of the (celestial)) earth is yours (to enjoy), the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air, and that which climbeth upon the trees and walketh upon the earth;
Yea, and the herb, and the good things which come of the earth, whether for food or for raiment, or for houses, or for barns, or for orchards, or for gardens, or for vineyards;
Yea, all things which come of the earth, in the season thereof, are made for the benefit and the use of man, both to please the eye and to gladden the heart.
Yea, for food and for raiment, for taste and for smell, to strengthen the body and to enliven the soul.
And it pleaseth God that he (they) hath (have) given all these things unto man; for unto this end were they made to be used, with judgment, not to excess, neither by extortion." (words in parentheses from Heavenly Mother).
Raphael, it would be appropriate for our new mortal visitors who come to our temple block and temple, to become new members of our Church of the Firstborn, to eat of some of our fruits from my garden. They might also take a seed or a pit from what they have chosen, and plant it in their yard back home. This would be a happy memory of their experience in our temple that day when they began their journey to become gods in eternity.'
I thanked her for her kindness and to know her mortal children might do this. What a happy memory they would always have, and a keepsake for the next generation too when they come to visit their home!"

20 And it pleaseth God that he hath given all these things unto man; for unto this end were they made to be used, with judgment, not to excess, neither by extortion.
Fri, May 3, 2024
Yesterday there were two experiences that came up which I considered extortion: One was by a family member who paid about $2.40 for an item he was selling, but charges $24 to the public on Amazon. After all his advertising, shipping and other fees, he makes about 30% profit per item, or about $7.20 each, three times the amount that he paid for the item.
The other extortion is the doctor diet plan my wife has signed up for. It costs her about $6,000, but costs the doctors only several hundred dollars. Dr Redd has elevated that cost to such a high amount that some have had to finance it, for they believe that the doctor has a special insight into diet allergies. However, in their weekly 15 minute followups, the doctor asks their patients if they felt any different with the introduction of new foods. In my mind, they are only accountability people, not trained professionals who extort such high payments from the people.
I asked of my Father this morning in my prayer, about these two situations, for my own understanding. Here is what I felt Heavenly Father told me in my mind and heart (see D&C 8:2-3 and D&C 9:7-9), all written in my own words:
"Raphael, these two conditions are examples of extortion. Were the individual to ask of me, I would have them reduce their profits to a more reasonable level, commensurate with the amount of work and effort that they perform.
I accept all kinds of labor from my children, and encourage all varieties of ways to earn a living and sustain oneself and family. However, in these types of situations, extortion is to over inflate profits beyond what is reasonable. I desire that my children are more on an equal basis for the labors, and that one doesn't require more excess money than is reasonable than another for their labors. We want our children to get out of debt, and to relieve themselves from bondage. We want them to work steadily and gain experience of a reward for a days effort. However, we never want our children to get an excess reward for their labor, which these two examples illustrate.
Were these individuals to ask of me, I would ask them to temper their profits to be a reasonable amount. This would be an amount that I would provide them, were they to ask of me.
Raphael, when you worked in your book business, you set reasonable prices based on your costs and your expected modest profits. You felt good about what you and your wife decided upon, and then worked hard in your business for many years. In this effort and plan, I blessed you with abundance, for you used judgment, and did not charge to excess or by extortion. You paid well your employees, and paid all of your bills on time. Your customers felt you charged very reasonably, were fair to them, and they were willing to pay what you asked. This was all pleasing to me.
The overlying principle here is found in D&C 31:5 "Therefore, thrust in your sickle with all your soul, and your sins are forgiven you, and you shall be laden with sheaves upon your back, for the laborer is worthy of his hire. Wherefore, your family shall live."
We want the laborer to work hard, for then we will bless them with abundance in time.
D&C 42:42 "Thou shalt not be idle; for he that is idle shall not eat the bread nor wear the garments of the laborer." Those who charge excess, or extort the people of their money, are akin to the idler who doesn't work steadily in his labor to receive a modest profit."
I then prayed to confirm that I had written down the words of my Heavenly Father correctly, and that these were truly his thoughts. I felt the gentle confirmation that I had recorded his words correctly. I felt peace and assurance that this was correct.

Doctrine & Covenants 59:21
21 And in nothing doth man offend God, or against none is his wrath kindled, save those who confess not his hand in all things, and obey not his commandments.
104B16-104B18: "Heavenly Father then spoke:
'Raphael, we have noticed that various people address your Heavenly Mother, Jesus Christ, and me in different ways, in their own manners and language. Some use the language of scripture (thee, thou, etc.) and some use more informal language (you, your). We want our children to be the most comfortable they can be, as a son or daughter would approach and talk to a loving parent. We love gratitude and respectful feelings and attitudes. We want our children especially to recognize our hand in guiding their lives:
D&C 59:21
"And in nothing doth man offend God, or against none is his wrath kindled, save those who confess not his hand in all things, and obey not his commandments."
We communicate to the heart and mind of our child, and they may commune back with us. When they receive and don't make the effort to write or record our words, we are displeased. How can we give them more if they haven't properly treasured and recorded our words we have given them in the past? You have learned it is best to write our words as you receive them. This makes any memory lag not an issue, for you write our revelations immediately."

Doctrine & Covenants 59:23
23 But learn that he who doeth the works of righteousness shall receive his reward, even peace in this world, and eternal life in the world to come.
199I8-199I15: "He appeared from a mist on the waters and stepped in front of me. He was smiling and full of light. He wore a shining white robe. He spoke: 'Raphael, in the ever increasingly troubled world in which you live, you still experience happiness and peace. This is because you come to us in prayer, morning and night, and seek to be filled with our spirit and love in your daily life. We are the only source of happiness and peace in troubled times and in good times. This is what our elect sons and daughters yearn for, and this is what we give freely.
D&C 59:23
"But learn that he who doeth the works of righteousness shall receive his reward, even peace in this world, and eternal life in the world to come."
My Father then came next to my side and looked with me upon the calm oasis. The waters were still. They started to reflect the lights in the heavens above. Heavenly Father spoke: 'These still waters at our desert oasis are reflecting the many celestial earths that have attained their celestial glory. These rotate around our celestial orb and at night appear as stars in the heavens. They shine from their own glory, and are the initial abode of our many exalted sons and daughters who have become couple gods in eternity. These all live in eternal peace and joy. They each have their own children, and galaxies in our universe. This is the heritage of our elect sons and daughters who seek our face, and obey our commandments.'
Heavenly Father turned to me and continued: 'Raphael, every one whose names Oriphiel writes in the Book of Life will inherit eternal life and exaltation, even as our faithful sons and daughters from our previous eternities have attained. These are all our own beloved children! We know each by name, and remember with clarity all of our interactions with them. We never forget them, and continue our close relationships, worlds without end into eternity.
Continue to follow our Spirit and our gentle guidance, and we will continue to give you great peace amid your failing world. Come to our New Jerusalem that will become a city of great peace and safety:
D&C 45:66
"And it shall be called the New Jerusalem, a land of peace, a city of refuge, a place of safety for the saints (these are our elect who come unto us, and do as we inspire them) of the Most High God." (words in parentheses from Heavenly Father)
Heavenly Father turned again and looked upon the peaceful waters. I looked upon the oasis waters and this verse of a psalm of David came to my mind:
Psalm 23:2-4
"He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.""

Tue, Oct 25, 2011
Once Saints and good people are gathered to America, the land will be sealed off, and the ocean waters will be treacherous.
160B1-150B17: "I awoke and came refreshed after a good sleep to my private room this morning. I had read a couple of articles online about the pandemic last night after my prayer, and then gone to sleep. I wondered what the "great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp" represented?
This morning I first came to the tree of life and ate of the fruit and the leaf. I felt alert and in tune to spiritual impressions. I then came into God's temple in heaven, and in the entry walked to the little stream of water by the pine tree on the east, or left side. I knelt there and cupped my hand and drank living water. I felt connected to my unconscious self. I then stood and walked down the hall to the mortal probation chapel. The door was opened and I entered and walked to the last days mural. The words I read on the mural last night from Revelation 8:10-11 were still written on the mural.
I read again the words from Revelation, and knelt on the floor in front of the mural. I prayed for my Heavenly Mother to come in answer to my prayer.
Heavenly Mother then came again through the mural and stood before me! As she did, the mural changed to an image of the earth from space. It stayed this same way while she then spoke to me:
'Raphael, I have come today to reveal to you the interpretation of Revelation 8:10-11 that follows the blowing of the third angel's trumpet, who is Simiel our archangel.
The great star, burning as it were a lamp represents a great nation on your earth, even Red China. This is where the coronavirus was created by wicked men in the bioweapons lab in Wuhan, China. The very flag of communist China depicts a large yellow star on the left top corner, and partially circled by four other smaller yellow stars, all on a red background. The large star represents the nation of communist China and the little yellow stars all those organizations that are political puppets of this regime.
The star burning like a lamp is a yellow five-pointed star burning like a yellow pointed star. Many Chinese lamps are made of thin red paper with a yellow light that shines through the paper. This was the appropriate description of John the Revelator, who actually saw this yellow five-pointed star falling from heaven against a reddened sky. He also saw the image of a paper Chinese lamp as the star descending towards the earth.
John saw that when the lamp hit the earth it came to the waters on the earth, not to the dry ground. These waters in rivers and fountains are similar to the ocean as when Oriphiel blew his trumpet last month, and you saw the economies of the world compared to the burning of a mountain that plunged into the ocean. The mountain represented Babylon the Great, which trades among all nations, and the ocean waters represented many waters of global tyranny and trade, worldwide. The waters of the ocean are all interconnected. Similarly, when Simiel blows his trumpet, the yellow star falls upon many waters, specifically rivers and fountains of waters. These waters in the rivers and fountains are in the entire world also, representing those organizations that had direct ties to communist China. When the economy and regime of the current communist China dies, like the burning yellow star falling from heaven to the waters on the earth, all of these waters will also die and become very bitter over their dashed hopes for China and its evil, communist regime and principles of suppression and goals of world supremacy through tyranny. In your own country communist China has infiltrated all of the tech giants like Google, Facebook, and Twitter who have systematically adapted communist China's ideals, and have censored more and more free speech and conservative values. The universities in your land and your very congress are riddled with secret and open supporters of communist China and its ideals. The World Health Organization is controlled by communist China. The leaders of this evil country dictate rivers and fountains that the burning yellow star has fallen into. The economies and political destruction of the current Chinese communist party and its leaders will make these organizations who have close ties with communist China to become very bitter and distraught, even as wormwood is very bitter. These organizations will become jolted as their source of infiltration dies. This is what is meant by "many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter."
The bitterness of these organizations that had been infiltrated by the Chinese communist party will not turn them to change to freedom-loving principles, but will, on the contrary, make them even more intrusive and harsh with their constituents whom they are supposed to serve. All of these actions are done in secret so that the general public unknowingly follow them. These organizations now control much of the general ideas and practices of the population.
Raphael, as the economy and current political regime in China fails and loses control, they will be desperate for war, for they will feel this would save their country from ruin. There will be others in China who volley for power and thrust China into war with your own country. The Chinese, the corrupt government and secret powers and secret combinations in your own land, and Russia will all be involved in war and aggression in your own land, and will ultimately cleanse the wicked and topple your nation. These are all controlled and greatly influenced by Satan. This is what is meant by the wicked destroying the wicked.'
Heavenly Mother then turned to the mural where we saw an image of the earth from space. As I then looked into the mural, I was somehow next to her side above the earth, above communist China! I then saw the image of a single yellow five-pointed star projected upon the entire land of this, the most populated country in the world.
Heavenly Mother spoke: 'Raphael, the communist leaders have dominion and control of all the provinces and peoples within their borders. This is the large yellow star represented on their flag.'
I then saw many other parts of the earth with smaller yellow stars projected on their countries and organizations. Heavenly Mother spoke again: 'These smaller yellow stars are the countries and organizations that are sympathetic to the Red China communist ideals, and have become controlled by the current communist regime in China.'
I then saw a burning yellow star, very bright coming from space to the earth! As it collided with the earth it shattered into many pieces, each piece moving into the rivers and fountains of waters. These little burning lamp-like pieces then merged into the waters over all the earth and turned them bitter. These waters were all very bitter to those who had previously been infiltrated and controlled by their communist leaders. I saw these people all over the earth, very angry, bitter and distraught that their hopes had been dashed. In their bitterness, I saw Satan and his minions of evil spirits flock to them and connive in their souls plans to further control and subjugate those who were in their influence. I then saw these organizations become even more intrusive and harsh, and very unfeeling in their interactions with their constituents.
The entire waters on the earth, especially rivers, then appeared glowing in "yellow bubbling bitterness" it seemed, for this was the emotion I felt and the view I saw. The earth seemed to groan under the great wickedness upon the waters.
I then thought of the scripture in D&C 61:4-5, 14-19-
"Nevertheless, I suffered it that ye might bear record; behold, there are many dangers upon the waters, and more especially hereafter;
For I, the Lord, have decreed in mine anger many destructions upon the waters; yea, and especially upon these waters. . .
Behold, I, the Lord, in the beginning blessed the waters; but in the last days, by the mouth of my servant John, I cursed the waters.
Wherefore, the days will come that no flesh shall be safe upon the waters.
And it shall be said in days to come that none is able to go up to the land of Zion upon the waters, but he that is upright in heart.
And, as I, the Lord, in the beginning cursed the land, even so in the last days have I blessed it, in its time, for the use of my saints, that they may partake the fatness thereof.
And now I give unto you a commandment that what I say unto one I say unto all, that you shall forewarn your brethren concerning these waters, that they come not in journeying upon them, lest their faith fail and they are caught in snares;
I, the Lord, have decreed, and the destroyer rideth upon the face thereof, and I revoke not the decree."
Heavenly Mother then turned to me and spoke: 'Raphael, this scripture will be fulfilled soon after Simiel blows his trumpet. The rivers and fountains of waters are what is meant by Satan riding upon the waters. This refers to Satan and his evil national leaders in communist China who seek the sinister infiltration and the corruption of their minds with communist dogmas, which are the dogmas and continual religion of Lucifer, for he desires to entrap, control and dominate all men and women, and carefully lead them down to hell (see 2 Nephi 28:20-24).'
Suddenly my Heavenly Mother and I were in front of the last days mural in the mortal probation chapel. The mural was blank, and Heavenly Mother was sober-looking."

The waters are cursed by John the Revelator in Rev 8:8-9:
"And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;
And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed."
Also the third plague about the wormwood is upon the waters. Both of these make the waters treacherous and not safe to travel. America will be the land of Zion, and will still gather the upright in heart. The land will be for the benefit and use of the Saints (the humble and righteous) as they build the New Jerusalem. The destroyer (Satan) will ride upon the waters and make it very difficult to travel upon.

Doctrine & Covenants 61:36-39
36 And now, verily I say unto you, and what I say unto one I say unto all, be of good cheer, little children; for I am in your midst, and I have not forsaken you;
37 And inasmuch as you have humbled yourselves before me, the blessings of the kingdom are yours.
38 Gird up your loins and be watchful and be sober, looking forth for the coming of the Son of Man, for he cometh in an hour you think not.
39 Pray always that you enter not into temptation, that you may abide the day of his coming, whether in life or in death. Even so. Amen.
184E4-184E10: "Heavenly Father then spoke to me: 'Raphael, you will continue to live in your mortal world where men and women will seek to control you and all people more and more. Although the freedoms in your land will continue to be reduced, we will counter these by giving you great peace and serenity in your life. You don't need to heed much of their increasing restrictions on personal liberty, but just live and act in peaceful ways. You will find much joy with your family on your property and living in your home in your beautiful area. Most importantly, your Heavenly Mother and I will be with you always, and will give you our great peace, even continually, like she gave to you last night at our healing lake.
Your part in all of this is to drop all of your expectations for what you think might happen in the future. We want you to trust in our power to do as we have said, and to continue to seek our faces daily as you do. Lean upon us, and follow our gentle promptings, and you will find great peace and protection in your troubled world.
D&C 61:36-39
"And now, verily I say unto you, and what I say unto one I say unto all, be of good cheer, little children; for I am in your midst, and I have not forsaken you;
And inasmuch as you have humbled yourselves before me, the blessings of the kingdom are yours.
Gird up your loins and be watchful and be sober, looking forth for the coming of the Son of Man, for he cometh in an hour you think not.
Pray always that you enter not into temptation, that you may abide the day of his coming, whether in life or in death. Even so, Amen."'
Heavenly Father then stepped up to me and placed both of his hands on my head, like Heavenly Mother did last night. I felt his light, accompanied by his great peace and serenity, flow into my head, shoulders and the remainder of my body. I sensed as this light passed through me into the ground where I was kneeling, that more deep anxiety and feelings of uncertainty flowed out, freeing me more in my body. I felt airy and very much more lightened and upbeat!
Heavenly Father then lifted his hands and spoke again: 'Raphael, what your Heavenly Mother and I have done for you, we will do for any of our humble and petitioning elect sons or daughters who seek us and our blessing of peace. We want you each to live after the manner of happiness, even as did the Nephites as recorded in 2 Nephi 5: 27. Prior to this peace that came upon the Nephites, their brethren the Lamanites continued to be angry, and to seek to take away their lives and destroy them. However, Nephi and those who would follow him fled into the wilderness (2 Nephi 5:4-8) They believed in the warning and revelations of God, and sought to observe and keep the judgments, statutes and commandments of the Lord in all things. We did cause them to prosper exceedingly, and to labor with their hands, being very industrious. Their brethren, the Lamanites as they were called, were subsequently cut off from our presence, but the Nephites were brought more and more into our presence. We blessed Nephi and his group, making them very delightsome (verse 21), whereas the Lamanites became loathsome to them, full of idleness, mischief and subtlety (verses 21-25).
In your day, there will also be a greater division of the righteous elect and the wicked in the land. Our people will receive of our peace and live after the manner of happiness, even while the wicked become more loathsome, full of intrigue and backstabbing to those in their own circles. We will bring the armies in your land who will occupy it for a season and who will soon overtake the wicked among you. However, we will preserve you, our elect, even at the time when your liberties are further curtailed while the wicked are being removed from the land. Raphael, we will not forsake you or our elect!"
I thanked my loving Heavenly Father for his comforting words. I felt his love and peace upon me in abundance!"

Doctrine & Covenants 62:3
3 Nevertheless, ye are blessed, for the testimony which ye have borne is recorded in heaven for the angels to look upon; and they rejoice over you, and your sins are forgiven you.
1-11-2024: In prayer this week I asked about where to record my revelations and inspirations. I had previously been given specific instructions not to write them in my personal journal, something that I had done in the past. However, for me there is now a shift in this direction from my Heavenly Father.
My Heavenly Father told me that it was good for me to write in the digital notes in my LDS scripture annotations. He said that this information would be preserved in the celestial world, and "recorded in heaven", as this scripture in D&C 62:3 refers to. He also said that I was replicated in that realm, and wrote my own account of my revelations and inspirations that I received in the flesh in mortality for safe-keeping there in heaven.
I was led to understand that the telestial records on earth would all be destroyed when the earth burns with unquenchable fire at the second coming of Jesus Christ, along with everything that is telestial. This telestial realm will all be destroyed and return to elemental matter as it is shed from the earth. The earth will then have a terrestrial and celestial physical realm, as well as a telestial and terrestrial spirit realm for the deceased and evil spirits to dwell in. All records that are not preserved by the Lord (like the Book of Raphael and other records hid up to the Lord) will be destroyed in this fire.
Unless we receive a promise from God that our records will be preserved in heaven, then why now would we want to write in our journals and other places we write of our inspirations? I want all of my spiritual writings to be preserved for eternity, to be placed in the libraries of heaven.
I received confirmation today that what I have written above is true for me at this time.
101C2-101C11: "Heavenly Mother spoke to me:
'Raphael, you keep your heavenly journal on a shelf in the domed room, your previous own room in our world. You already have multiple journals that you have written in that have been there since you again came into heaven in April 2013, when we first came to you in your energy class. You write similar things you receive in this record that you now write on earth, all in your unconscious mind. We therefore have you write two accounts of your revelations and experiences, one on earth and one in heaven.
We have the revelations and actions of the righteous recorded in heaven on our celestial orb and in the celestial realms of God in the earth.
D&C 62:3
"Nevertheless, ye are blessed, for the testimony which ye have borne is recorded in heaven for the angels to look upon; and they rejoice over you, and your sins are forgiven you."
The angels, who dwell in the celestial realms and from where they do their work, write these records. Your records are kept together in the domed room for now, and in other rooms in heaven.
Each holy angel also has a location for his or her own journal or record. We desire that all things are written by hand and preserved, whether concerning revelations, or actions, or service rendered to another, or how our children on earth respond to the activity of the angels.
We will one day call for all of these records and place them in our library in heaven. This is where the records are kept that have recorded all things of the angel activity concerning the actions of our children who come into mortality. The records of the angels are part of this repository in our library in heaven. We also have guardian spirits write in journals or records of the actions of those to whom they are assigned.
2 Nephi 29:11
"For I command all men (and women), both in the east and in the west, and in the north, and in the south, and in the islands of the sea, that they shall write the words which I speak unto them; for out of the books which shall be written I will judge the world, every man according to their works, according to that which is written."
These guardian spirits work in the terrestrial realms on the earth. They are assigned to each mortal who comes to earth. They have been commanded to write the works of those in their stewardship. These records are then ultimately transferred to the same repository in the library of heaven.
The vast records in heaven, in our library on the celestial orb, will be transferred to the library in the New Jerusalem that will become a permanent part of the resurrected celestial earth. These will be transferred after the Day of Judgment of our people. They will be fully transferred once all our children are judged and rewarded for their works on the earth, some to a celestial glory, some to a terrestrial glory, and some to a telestial glory. These will then become a record in eternity for those who attain to a celestial glory, to view as they wish. Those of lesser glories will not be able to read these records, for they cannot come to the library in the New Jerusalem where these records will all be kept, for it is in the celestial kingdom.
Raphael, your Father and I have records of our own works and revelations on our own celestial earth, where we received our first inheritance. These records are also in a shared library repository on that resurrected earth. We may go there and read any of those records of any of ourselves or of our siblings from our same parent Gods.
These records always are finally transferred to the celestial earth at the end of each eternity. Our record vaults on our own celestial orb are then emptied, ready for a new eternity.
During the Day of Judgment for each of our children who have come to earth, we bring forth the records that pertain to them about their works on the earth as recorded by the angels or their guardian spirits. We also may refer to records we have preserved that were recorded on the telestial or terrestrial earth, depending when these individuals came to the earth for their mortal experience. These records tell of the choices and works of our individual whom we are judging. They are laid out for the one being judged to see. It is hard for them to argue differently than what had been written about them by another. We also bless our children at that time with a vivid memory of all their actions, from their pre-mortal, mortal and post-mortal states. They all acknowledge their works, and the eternal placement we give them in the eternal worlds of glory. They are rewarded to the level of happiness they were willing to receive in their journey up to that point. They are very satisfied in the glory we assign them in eternity, for this is where they best fit for eternity upon eternity. They are resurrected to that glory, quickened by the glory of their particular resurrection be it celestial, terrestrial or telestial.
Raphael, during the ordinance of the waters of separation that you administer to our faithful, Oriphiel, your archangel brother, will record in the Book of Life each of their names and that they were admitted into the Church of the Firstborn. This record is sufficient for the record of a celestial resurrection and exaltation of those who attain this final entry into our highest record in heaven. Once recorded, it is guaranteed that those recorded will receive all things pertaining to their eternal celestial glory as a God, even to become like us, their Heavenly Parents.
The record of the Book of Life will also be eventually placed on your own celestial resurrected earth in the library of the New Jerusalem on that earth. You may read from this record any time you may wish to in the eternities. We have looked at our own entry in our own Book of Life, which is in the library on our own celestial earth. We know our history, both from our vivid memories and that which has been written.'
I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her revelations to me today! I am so glad I recorded her words as she gave them to me, sentence-by-sentence, thought-by-thought. I am grateful for all I have written over the weeks and months and years. I see this as a vital responsibility I have.
Heavenly Mother told me I had correctly written her words and thoughts to me today. She said that her presence would continue with me today. I then closed my formal prayer and got started on my new day."

Doctrine & Covenants 63:5-6
5 Behold, I, the Lord, utter my voice, and it shall be obeyed.
6 Wherefore, verily I say, let the wicked take heed, and let the rebellious fear and tremble; and let the unbelieving hold their lips, for the day of wrath shall come upon them as a whirlwind, and all flesh shall know that I am God.
144G10-144G18: "At night-This evening I came to the birch tree grove in the celestial orb. I knelt by the little stream in the grove and drank some living water. I felt clarified in my mind. I held still and felt the celestial light and peace permeate my body, mind and heart.
I then prayed to my Heavenly Parents, asking one or both to come to me in answer to my prayer.
There was a wind that then arose and the yellow birch tree leaves that come in the fall time started blowing all around me! Soon there were so many leaves in the air blowing all around that I knew this was a sign from God.
The leaves then formed a funnel right up in the air, like a mini tornado! I then saw a bright light in the sky, between the trees at the top of this tornado of leaves. Heavenly Father then descended in this funnel of leaves and as he descended the leaves stopped swirling around him.
When he reached me, a little elevated in the air in front of me, all the leaves had come to rest upon the forest floor. It was very pretty and yellow all around. Heavenly Father was very bright, shining upon me and all the birch trees and yellow leaves on the ground. He was in perfect control it seemed, and was smiling upon me.
He spoke: "Raphael, when the calamities start upon your land in not many days, they will descend upon your land as a whirlwind. When our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, finally descends upon the earth, all of the tribulations will transition to a very beautiful and peaceful earth, like what happened with the leaves when they all finally settled on the ground in this birch tree grove.
The leaves each represent a separate tribulation, each erupting and moving at the same time in great fury and action. We have orchestrated the combined events that will occur at the same time, even as a whirlwind upon the earth.
D&C 63:5-6:
"Behold, I, the Lord, utter my voice, and it shall be obeyed.
Wherefore, verily I say, let the wicked take heed, and let the rebellious fear and tremble; and let the unbelieving hold their lips, for the day of wrath shall come upon them as a whirlwind, and all flesh shall know that I am God.
We will transition all of our elect who are upon the earth to a terrestrial state before the whirlwind begins. This will give them strength and protection against the storm that will descend with fury upon the face of the whole earth.
3 Nephi 21:19-21:
"And it shall come to pass that all lyings, and deceivings, and envyings, and strifes, and priestcrafts, and whoredoms, shall be done away.
For it shall come to pass, saith the Father, that at that day whosoever will not repent and come unto my Beloved Son, them will I cut off from among my people, O house of Israel;
And I will execute vengeance and fury upon them, even as upon the heathen, such as they have not heard.
Heavenly Father stopped talking and started rising up into the sky. He rose up past the treetops and was soon out of my sight.
I thanked him in my mind and closed my prayer."

54 And until that hour there will be foolish virgins among the wise; and at that hour cometh an entire separation of the righteous and the wicked; and in that day will I send mine angels to pluck out the wicked and cast them into unquenchable fire.

Doctrine & Covenants 63:64
64 Remember that that which cometh from above is sacred, and must be spoken with care, and by constraint of the Spirit; and in this there is no condemnation, and ye receive the Spirit through prayer; wherefore, without this there remaineth condemnation.
141G13-141G16,from Heavenly Mother: "We require our elect children to receive and share our revelations according to the manner we have prescribed. We will reveal all things to our faithful elect, but in our own way, gradually so that they may understand and be able to truly receive and accept our truths, as fast as they are able.
D&C 63:64-
"Remember that that which cometh from above is sacred, and must be spoken with care, and by constraint of the Spirit; and in this there is no condemnation, and ye receive the Spirit through prayer; wherefore, without this there remaineth condemnation."
Raphael, we will continue to manifest to our faithful elect the truth of all things, and confirm all truths to them individually by our Spirit. This will then mimic the way you or our other servants received these revelations at the first. Therefore, each of our sons and daughters will receive anew our revelations, fresh and new to them, according to how our Spirit manifests to their own heart and mind."
I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her confirming words to me! I felt very gratified to have the revelations she and Heavenly Father have revealed to me to be revealed to all the faithful elect, in an individually tailored way for each one. I felt so happy to be in her presence, and to be open and receptive to her every instruction."
143C16-143C23, from Heavenly Father: "We are pleased when our saints feel inspired by us their Gods on what to instruct, preach and expound to their congregations in the Church of Christ. As they respond to our promptings, and are humble and open, we will inspire them to share our words with the people. We will witness of all truth to those who in like manner receive their words by our Spirit. They then may all be edified and instructed by us, even though we may usually not be seen as present in the meetings.
"Remember that that which cometh from above is sacred, and must be spoken with care, and by constraint of the Spirit; and in this there is no condemnation, and ye receive the Spirit through prayer; wherefore, without this there remaineth condemnation." (D&C 63:64)
Also: "And they shall observe the covenants and church articles to do them, and these shall be their teachings, as they shall be directed by the Spirit.
And the Spirit shall be given unto you by the prayer of faith; and if ye receive not the Spirit ye shall not teach." (D&C 42:13-14).
If one is assigned to speak, and they are not moved upon by the Spirit, it would be far better for them not to speak, but defer to another who has the Spirit and is led to speak by our Spirit. We are not pleased when those who speak are not led by our Spirit, or who lean upon their own views and understandings. We would that all who come to the meetings in their chapels or other places, to come in humility and a worshipful attitude.
D&C 6:32-"Verily, verily, I say unto you, as I said unto my disciples, where two or three are gathered together in my name, as touching one thing, behold, there will I be in the midst of them, even so am I in the midst of you."
Raphael, we want to strengthen and buoy up our humble and open believers with our word. We want them to be gathered and fed by inspired men and women, all according to the gifts and blessings of our Holy Ghost and Holy Spirit. We wish that each time they meet they learn and grow in the Spirit.
We inspired Alma who addressed the people in the city of Gideon:
Alma 7:22-24- "And now my beloved brethren, I have said these things unto you that I might awaken you to a sense of your duty to God, that ye may walk blameless before him, that ye may walk after the holy order of God, after which ye have been received.
And now I would that ye should be humble, and be submissive and gentle; easy to be entreated; full of patience and long-suffering; being temperate in all things; being diligent in keeping the commandments of God at all times; asking for whatsoever things ye stand in need, both spiritual and temporal; always returning thanks unto God for whatsoever things ye do receive.
And see that ye have faith, hope, and charity, and then ye will always abound in good works."
Such is also our counsel to our faithful today. We wish to shower upon them our Spirit, but so many will not hear us, or shut themselves to our Spirit, for they do not approach us after the holy order of God, after the true order of prayer like your Heavenly Mother recently explained to you. If they are open, submissive and humble, and pray to us in faith that we send our Spirit and instruct them, we will come!'"

Doctrine & Covenants 64:22-24
22 And after that day, I, the Lord, will not hold any guilty that shall go with an open heart up to the land of Zion; for I, the Lord, require the hearts of the children of men.
23 Behold, now it is called today until the coming of the Son of Man, and verily it is a day of sacrifice, and a day for the tithing of my people; for he that is tithed shall not be burned at his coming.
24 For after today cometh the burning, this is speaking after the manner of the Lord, for verily I say, tomorrow all the proud and they that do wickedly shall be as stubble; and I will burn them up, for I am the Lord of Hosts; and I will not spare any that remain in Babylon.
158F6-158F8, from Heavenly Mother: "D&C 64:22-24- And after that day, I, the Lord, will not hold any guilty that shall go with an open heart up to the land of Zion; for I, the Lord, require the hearts of the children of men.
Behold, now it is called today until the coming of the Son of Man (this today means it is now a telestial earth), and verily it is a day of sacrifice, and a day for the tithing of my people (tithing here means the division of the people, or separation of the wheat or elect from the tares or the wicked); for he that is tithed (or separated as the elect of God) shall not be burned at his coming.
For after today cometh the burning (or after the time of the telestial elements on the earth are fully ended)this is speaking after the manner of the Lord, for verily I say, tomorrow (or the day of the Lord when Jesus comes to the earth in the glory of his presence) all the proud and they that do wickedly shall be as stubble; and I will burn them up, for I am the Lord of Hosts; and I will not spare any that remain in Babylon." (words in parenthesis from Heavenly Mother).
. . . I came to realize then that those who say you need to pay one tenth of your income to the Church (another definition of tithing, but not "after the manner of the Lord" who gave the parables of the wheat and the tares, and also the ten virgins) are not accurate. Here I believe Jesus says basically that the tithing of the people has a different meaning, and has nothing to do with one tenth of their income being paid to the church. Now that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has been rejected by God, I believe, from God's view, it is no longer required to pay tithing to this church."
199D13-199D18: "Evening-I have wondered if anything material in the mortal telestial world would survive the destruction coming to that realm, when Jesus Christ comes in his glory. I met my Heavenly Mother in my prayer tonight on the eastern shores of the mighty river, to the west of the New Jerusalem island.
She answered me: 'Raphael, all in the telestial world will be consumed and be destroyed when Jesus Christ comes in his glory. We wish to preserve your records since 2010, and will have you bring these to the mortal terrestrial realm on the earth. All lands, buildings, and anything living on the telestial earth will be consumed. This includes all earthly records, temples, and people. In order for any of these to be preserved, they need to be approved and then brought into our mortal terrestrial realm prior to the second coming of Jesus Christ.
We have also written in heaven the vital records that were written on earth, even from the beginning (see D&C 128:8-9). We also have the ability to recall and reveal all events and actions that have happened in the past to our children in their telestial mortal state. We will use this method to judge the actions of our children during their probation. All will acknowledge that our judgments are just, for they will also have a bright recollection of all they did in their mortal and postmortal life when they stand before us or our servants at the judgment day (see Alma 11:43).'
I recall having been in the little Cottonwood Canyon near Salt Lake City, and saw the granite vaults on the valley hill with records stored there by the LDS church. I asked if these too would be destroyed, as well as the Salt Lake Temple.
Heavenly Mother responded: 'Raphael, both of these will be consumed, for they will remain on the telestial earth when Jesus Christ comes in his glory.'
She then departed and I closed my prayer."
See also D&C 119:3-4 notes.
68A12-68A15, from Heavenly Mother: "Your words you have written and will write over the years will motivate our elect children to persist in coming to us in deep prayer and meditation. Your words will be revealed when we reveal all things in this, in a day called today, in the days of the coming of your Lord, Jesus Christ:
D&C 64:23 "Behold, now it is called today, until the coming of the Son of Man."
D&C 45:6 "Hearken, O ye people of my church, and ye elders listen together, and hear my voice while it is called today, and harden not your hearts."
Today is the day of my revealing, first to you and our holy angels on the earth, and then to the elect who hear our voice and keep our commandments.
Raphael, what we reveal to you will be read and studied by the faithful in a day not far distant. We have yet much to reveal to you, as fast as you are able to receive. Flow with the pace we now share with you, and you will see greater things yet that we will show you.'"
75I4-75I5, from Heavenly Father: "The sun rises earlier now each morning, and sets later each evening, making for a longer day. So it will be with your work and that of our other angels and servants: their labors and abilities will lengthen and increase, during this day called today of the return of the Son of Man, even in these last days (see D&C 64:23 "Behold, now it is called today until the coming of the Son of Man. . .")!
The earth, too, is transitioning to a terrestrial environment. Mother Earth will be ridding herself of the many wicked inhabitants on her surface. The acts of God will increase on Mother Earth too, to engulf the wicked and to promote the righteous and preserve them for the beautiful millennial day.
As you love springtime, Raphael, so do I love these transitionary days leading to the millennium. I love to see my elect children awaken and take control and charge of their own lives, their thoughts, and their actions in following us in all our directions and commandments.'"
198E2-198E9: "I began thinking about the words in D&C 64:22-24. I looked up this scripture, and then looked in the index to Raphael and found my entry in post 158F6 where this same scripture is found. At that time, in April 2020, Heavenly Mother gave her insights to this scripture. I now understand that "today" in D&C 64:23 means the time of gathering to Zion. This is a several year period of time which has just recently begun, for the New Jerusalem has just been built up, starting on May 17, 2021. This was when the New Jerusalem island came up out of the great deep on the physical terrestrial earth.
Today, speaking after the manner of the Lord (see D&C 64:24), means the time when God's elect are physically gathered, one by one, or in small groups, to the New Jerusalem, or nearby Zion communities. During this gathering, some will be left behind, and some will be gathered to that location on the terrestrial earth.
I came this morning to the circling waters on the celestial orb. I asked for my Heavenly Mother to come to me. She appeared before me on the water and spoke:'Raphael, I gave you the correct interpretation of D&C 64:22-24 last year in your post 158F6. The further enlightenment that you received and wrote in your journal this morning is also true, and was given to you of my Spirit.
Your Father, Jesus Christ and I require the heart of our elect children. If they do not have an open heart, they will not be admitted to the land of Zion. They need to be humble and open for us to reveal to them our truths so they may transition into this new environment and way of living, even according to the laws of the terrestrial kingdom. We will not allow any who spiritually remain in Babylon to come into Zion's borders.
The condition of the hearts of our beloved children is how your Father and I have judged who are the elect. We send forth our Spirit in this period of time called "today" (speaking after the manner of the Lord, see D&C 64:24) to awaken the hearts and minds of our elect. We ultimately prompt them to come to Zion, the New Jerusalem. This is where we will physically gather our righteous elect from the ravages of Babylon in their current telestial world.
D&C 101:16-20
"Therefore, let your hearts be comforted concerning Zion; for all flesh is in mine hands; be still and know that I am God.
Zion shall not be moved out of her place, notwithstanding her children are scattered.
They that remain, and are pure in heart, shall return, and come to their inheritances, they and their children, with songs of everlasting joy, to build up the waste places of Zion--
And, behold, there is none other place appointed than that which I have appointed; neither shall there be any other place appointed than that which I have appointed, for the work of the gathering of my saints--"
Raphael, "today" has begun for the physical gathering of our elect. We will carefully lead our elect, one by one, to the New Jerusalem and to the glories of Zion.'
I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her beautiful words. My prayer then ended and I left her presence."
199E13-199E18: "D&C 64:24
"For after today cometh the burning -this is speaking after the manner of the Lord -for verily I say, tomorrow all the proud and they that do wickedly shall be as stubble; and I will burn them up, for I am the Lord; and I will not spare any that remain in Babylon."
D&C 88: 94
"And another angel shall sound his trump, saying: That great church, the mother of abominations, that made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornications that persecuted the saints of God, that shed their blood -she who sitteth upon many waters, and upon the islands of the sea -behold, she is the tares of the earth; she is bound in bundles; her hands are made strong, no man can loose them; therefore, she is ready to be burned. And he shall sound his trump both long and loud, and all nations shall hear it."
I came upon the barren land of promise east of the New Jerusalem island. It was rocky with dirt, and no vegetation. It looked barren in all directions around me. I knelt and asked for my Heavenly Father to come.
He walked to me on the barren land from the west. When he came to me, he was serious looking, and immediately spoke: 'Raphael, what your Heavenly Mother spoke to you last night about the burning at the time of the coming of Jesus Christ is true. The scriptures you quoted are a few that described this burning. There are many more.
The burning will come upon all who dwell in the telestial mortal physical earth. It will be very intense, even to destroy all remnants of that realm so that all is consumed. This burning will only affect that realm, and not the terrestrial physical earth. Jesus will destroy the wicked in this terrible day of the Lord (see Joel 2: 11). However, it will be a wonderful day for our righteous elect who will have been gathered upon the terrestrial physical earth. Jesus will descend with these, our righteous sons and daughters, to the earth in great glory and power. What will remain on the mortal earth will only be the elect on the terrestrial earth. You will bind Satan and his host after this destruction, and cast them into the bottomless pit in the spiritual telestial earth. This will be a place reserved for him so he will not be able to go forth among our children for a thousand years.
The barren land upon which you are kneeling tonight will become a flourishing community on the terrestrial earth. Our people will live in harmony and peace all over the terrestrial earth. The declaration you made upon the earth during the light of a thousand suns event will be fully realized (see your post 194H18-"While the stars remain, and the heavens send down dew upon the earth, so long shall the Union last."). The stars in your sky will still shine, and dew on the mortal terrestrial earth will still come down in the millennial day. Freedom and liberty will be given to all of our children in that day, even in a full measure in the Union established and protected by our Beloved Son.'"

Doctrine & Covenants 64:33-36
33 Wherefore, be not weary in well-doing, for ye are laying the foundation of a great work. And out of small things proceedeth that which is great.
34 Behold, the Lord requireth the heart and a willing mind; and the willing and obedient shall eat the good of the land of Zion in these last days.
35 And the rebellious shall be cut off out of the land of Zion, and shall be sent away, and shall not inherit the land.
36 For, verily I say that the rebellious are not of the blood of Ephraim, wherefore they shall be plucked out.
The requirements for each of us to build Zion is the heart and a willing mind. This means we are not rebellious but obedient.
75F1-75F5: "Heavenly Father asked that I write his words:
'Raphael, it doesn't matter how many or how few people support you in your views of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and its leaders, as we have revealed them to you. What is important is what you received and that you know it is true. This revelation will be a guide to your life. We will continue to give you revelation and direction, regardless of who or who does not support you. We also will reveal to them each the same truths we have revealed to you.
R.S. has shared with you in an email you just read that he supported you. He has been led, as have many, by me to these similar truths. The ancients knew your day too, as R.S. stated in his email. They wrote this in the scriptures, but most of our people can't see this yet. Isaiah is very clear to those who have fully studied and received our revelations. However, to those who don't seek diligently, these same scriptures remain hidden from their eyes.
This past weekend at general conference, the leaders held a solemn assembly. Here is what we had Isaiah say about the church in your current day that we had Joseph Smith establish (note: My comments are in parenthesis.)
Isaiah 1:2-6, 1:11-15-
"Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the Lord hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.
The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel (the current day LDS church) doth not know, my people (the Latter-day Saints) doth not consider.
Ah sinful nation (your United States), a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the Lord, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.
Why should ye (the LDS people) be stricken any more: ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick (the leaders of the LDS church as well as the leaders of the nation, the United States), and the whole heart faint.
From the sole of the foot even unto the head (the leaders) there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.
To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? (speaking of all the churches of the land, but particularly the LDS church) Saith the Lord: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats. (all of the temple sacrifices, mission sacrifices, all the sacrifices of my people I no longer delight in).
When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts? (or to tread with evil in your temples)
Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; (the offerings of my Latter-day Saints are now not acceptable to me in the current LDS church) the new moons and Sabbaths (the fast and testimony meetings, the sacrament meetings), the calling of assemblies (stake conferences, general conferences), I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting (the solemn assembly held last weekend at general conference).
Your new moons (monthly fast meetings) and your appointed feasts (Halloween, New Years, Easter and Christmas even-as these have been changed from original Christian purposes and worship) my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.
And when ye spread forth your hands (prayers and other actions in temples), I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood (there are many hidden acts that we see that are murderous, evil and corrupt in your land now)."
Raphael, I could go on with other scriptures found in the Bible, Book of Mormon and Doctrine and Covenants. We have not been silent, but have revealed in our scriptures our words. Most don't see this, for they will not consider the true meaning of our words, so we have hidden them, revealing them only to the humble and open.
You live in troubled times! However, to the honest in heart, the truth seekers, the open and humble, we will reveal our revelations and the awfulness of your situation (see Ether 8:24) We will save our elect, whether in this life or the next, and lead them to eternal life and their exaltation. We require the heart and an open and willing mind (D&C 64:34 "Behold, the Lord requireth the heart and a willing mind, and the willing and obedient shall eat the good of the land of Zion in these last days.")'
Heavenly Mother then spoke to me:
'Raphael, those who come unto us as we require, in humility and openness, seeking to see the truth and be guided by us and not man, we will answer. We will guide them in love and safety.'
I thanked my glorious Heavenly Parents for their clear words. I feel so very enlightened continually by their words! Oh, I love them so much!
I then knew my communication with them had come to an end this morning. I said I would be obedient to their directions. I closed in the holy name of Jesus Christ. I started my Sabbath day."
127H1-127H12: "I awoke refreshed this morning, ready again to hear the words of God. I have thought about why mingling with supportive family and friends really helps us keep the faith better and become the tame olives that Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother want. I very much miss in my own life church friends that are in my neighborhood who care and love. This would be so nice to have accepting, open and trusted individuals with whom I could more openly share! I am grateful for my mortal angel friends and associates, for their support and effort they make to help move forth this work that we are in. I feel we are laying the foundation of great things:
D&C 64: 33-36
"Wherefore, be not weary in well-doing, for ye are laying the foundation of a great work. And out of small things proceedeth that which is great.
Behold, the Lord requireth the heart and a willing mind; and the willing and obedient shall eat the good of the land of Zion in these last days.
And the rebellious shall be cut off out of the land of Zion, and shall be sent away, and shall not inherit the land.
For, verily I say that the rebellious are not of the blood of Ephraim, wherefore they shall be plucked out."
I came this new morning to the overlook to the north of this same grassy field where the tame and wild olive trees were located, where I came last night. I saw the trees again growing. I knelt and faced south to the trees and asked for my Heavenly Parents, or one, to come to me. I waited and observed.
Heavenly Mother then immediately appeared on my left side! She too was facing the field and the olive trees. She was looking at them when she talked to me:
'Raphael, the angels of God are among the servants that we have called to labor together to save the natural or tame fruit of our olive trees. Now the entire vineyard of trees are all wild, and it appears that practically all of the olives are also wild on our trees.
Jacob 5:61-66
"Wherefore, go to, and call servants, that we may labor diligently with our might in the vineyard, that we may prepare the way, that I may bring forth again the natural fruit, which natural fruit is good and the most precious above all other fruit.
Wherefore, let us go to and labor with our might this last time, for behold the end draweth nigh, and this is for the last time that I shall prune my vineyard.
Graft in the branches; begin at the last that they may be first, and that the first may be last, and dig about the trees, both old and young, the first and the last; and the last and the first, that all may be nourished once again for the last time.
Wherefore, dig about them, and prune them, and dung them once more, for the last time, for the end draweth nigh. And if it be so that these last grafts shall grow, and bring forth the natural fruit, then shall ye prepare the way for them, that they may grow.
And as they begin to grow ye shall clear away the branches which bring forth bitter fruit, according to the strength of the good and the size thereof; and ye shall not clear away the bad thereof all at once, lest the roots thereof shall be too strong for the graft, and the graft thereof shall perish, and I lose the trees of the vineyard.
For it grieveth me that I should lose the trees of my vineyard; therefore ye shall clear away the bad according as the good shall grow, that the root and the top may be equal in strength, until the good shall overcome the bad, and the bad be hewn down and cast into the fire, that they cumber not the ground of my vineyard; and thus will I sweep away the bad out of my vineyard."
Raphael, this is the precise time in which you are now living! The good are beginning to grow by degrees in our vineyard, the house of Israel. We cannot reveal yet to them the glorious revelations that we have revealed to you, and yet will reveal to you and our other servants, for this would overpower them. We need to be careful to gently nourish the faithful, line upon line, here a little and there a little, and thus gradually let them absorb our truths slowly. This is what the allegory of the olive tree in Jacob 5:66 means, "that the root and the top may be equal in strength."
Thus, by gradual and careful means we will inspire our elect to accept more of our words and to gradually realize that their wild tree does not provide the nourishment from us their God. This means that our elect, the natural fruit of our vineyard, need now look to us, their true masters of the vineyard, and not to establishments of men that have had their beginnings from us, but now are wayward and teach for doctrines more and more the ways of man. Our once true Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is now no longer supported by us, for we no longer are giving the central leadership our revelations, nor do we inspire or direct them.
Our truths and nourishment will now come directly from us, through our Holy Spirit, the Holy Ghost, and through our angels and servants of God from higher spiritual realms. We will gently lead them to us, so that they don't become overwhelmed with too much nourishment all at once.'
Heavenly Mother then faced me and spoke: 'Raphael, we desire that your revelations which are and will become very great, are gradually introduced to our faithful, by degrees. We will show you how this is to be done in the future. You are doing well now to write all of our words and have them typed up, put into sequential web posts, and also indexed. The full availability of your records will not be revealed to our elect as a group, for this would be overwhelming and cause many to reject all of our revelations. Instead, we will gradually reveal our words through you by degrees.
We love our elect, those tame olive fruits that we need to gently nourish. Tell our angels and heavenly servants to strictly follow all our directions as they nourish and prune the olive trees of our vineyard!
Jacob 5:72
"And it came to pass that the servants did go and labor with their mights; and the Lord of the vineyard labored also with them; and they did obey the commandments of the Lord of the vineyard in all things."'
I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her commentary and revelation on these words in the scriptures, on the olive trees in Jacob 5. I said her words were delicious to me and I would obey all her and Heavenly Father's directions and commandments!"

Doctrine & Covenants 64:37-43
37 Behold, I, the Lord, have made my church in these last days like unto a judge sitting on a hill, or in a high place, to judge the nations.
38 For it shall come to pass that the inhabitants of Zion shall judge all things pertaining to Zion.
39 And liars and hypocrites shall be proved by them, and they who are not apostles and prophets shall be known.
40 And even the bishop, who is a judge, and his counselors, if they are not faithful in their stewardships shall be condemned, and others shall be planted in their stead.
41 For, behold, I say unto you that Zion shall flourish, and the glory of the Lord shall be upon her;
42 And she shall be an ensign unto the people, and there shall come unto her out of every nation under heaven.
43 And the day shall come when the nations of the earth shall tremble because of her, and shall fear because of her terrible ones. The Lord hath spoken it. Amen.
The redemption of Zion will find those in the church who are liars and hypocrites, including apostle and prophets (v 39), bishops and their counselors (v 40), and all the saints. Only those with a pure heart and a willing mind shall eat the good of the land of Zion. Then, when Zion is established, she will judge the world, and then the 144,000 will bring to Zion people from all nations of the world of a like heart and mind.

1 Hearken, and lo, a voice as of one sent down from on high, who is mighty and powerful, whose going forth is unto the ends of the earth, yea, whose voice is unto menPrepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
2 The keys of the kingdom of God are committed unto man on the earth, and from thence shall the gospel roll forth unto the ends of the earth, as the stone which is cut out of the mountain without hands shall roll forth, until it has filled the whole earth.

6 Wherefore, may the kingdom of God go forth, that the kingdom of heaven may come, that thou, O God, mayest be glorified in heaven so on earth, that thine enemies may be subdued; for thine is the honor, power and glory, forever and ever. Amen.
27C1-27C6: "Q-The scripture (D&C 95:2) and the prophets (President Kimball, President Benson) have said that the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the Kingdom of God on the earth. Is this the Kingdom of Heaven too? Is there a difference?
A- See D&C 65:6 'Wherefore, may the kingdom of God go forth, that the kingdom of heaven may come'.
The keys of the kingdom of God have been committed to the LDS Church-D&C 65:2 'The keys of the kingdom of God are committed unto man on the earth, and from thence shall the gospel roll forth unto the ends of the earth, as the stone which is cut out of the mountain without hands shall roll forth, until it has filled the whole earth.' See the heading also to section 65- '1-2, The keys of the kingdom of God are committed to man on earth, and the gospel cause will triumph; 3-6, The millennial kingdom of heaven will come and join the kingdom of God on earth.'
The kingdom of God has been established in the telestial world. Now that the seventh seal is opened, the kingdom of heaven will come to the earth in the church of the Firstborn. This will grow out of the kingdom of God (LDS church) on the earth by the remnant whom the Lord calls (Joel 2:32- 'And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call.').
The church of the Firstborn is the same church that was established in heaven in the premortal life. This is the kingdom of heaven. The kingdom of God was never organized in heaven, for it was organized on earth through the prophet Joseph Smith in these last days. The kingdom of God and the kingdom of heaven are separate.
The guide to the scriptures on ChurchofJesusChrist.org states that 'Faithful Saints become members of the Church of the Firstborn in eternity (D&C 93:21-22).' (see Guide to the Scriptures: Firstborn). D&C 93:22- 'And all those who are begotten through me are partakers of the glory of the same, and are the church of the Firstborn.'
In the kingdom of God (LDS Church), interaction with deity, has primarily been with the Savior Jesus Christ. In the kingdom of heaven (church of the Firstborn), interaction is expanded to include Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother. This is THEIR kingdom on the earth, and will be established in the New Jerusalem.""

Doctrine & Covenants 65:2
2 The keys of the kingdom of God are committed unto man on the earth, and from thence shall the gospel roll forth unto the ends of the earth, as the stone which is cut out of the mountain without hands shall roll forth, until it has filled the whole earth.
Sun, Dec 10, 2023
The keys of the kingdom of God were committed to Joseph Smith by Peter, James and John (see D&C 7:7, and D&C 27:13). These keys were committed to Joseph Smith, but not exercised during his lifetime in establishing the kingdom of God on the earth (see D&C 65:5-6, which says the kingdom of God hasn't yet been established as of this time, but the LDS Church was already established a year and a half earlier). The LDS Church IS NOT the Kingdom of God on the earth.
After the death of Joseph Smith, similar keys of the kingdom were again committed to the archangel Raphael, who exercised these keys in establishing the kingdom of God on the earth. This was at the event of the light of a thousand suns on May 16, 2021 (see 194H1 to 194H32), and confirmed by Heavenly Mother on April 18th, 2023, and later on September 24th, 2023. This event occurred in the celestial realm on the earth, and now awaits the coming of Jesus Christ, who will bring the kingdom of heaven (see verse 6). It had to be established on earth BEFORE the second coming of Jesus Christ.
45C7-45C18: "Later: Today for church, my wife, A. and I went together to a local Presbyterian Church in Springville, Utah. This was actually an assignment that A. had for his World Religions class at BYU.
The church structure was built around 1892-1893, and is gorgeous inside, with wooden floors and pews, and stained-glass windows. We came in right when they were starting. There were only 18 people there, and most of them well over 60 years old (I only saw one young person besides A., and she came from Provo, probably around 30 years of age). The leader of the group rotates from within the congregation. There was a visiting lay minister (over 80 years old I thought!) from Brigham City, who gave a sermon. There were no babies, no young couples. It looked like the church was on its last leg!
We were very welcomed, and everyone seemed excited to see us (like fresh faces I think!). They were very warm towards us. We were even prayed over specifically in their prayers, including every other person in the congregation who had needs, or those whom the minister mentioned that had needs (he went through the congregation with a notebook, and wrote notes for his prayer). It was a casual experience, quite different, small and cozy.
However, the most important thing I noticed was their entire program was centered around Christ. They truly talked of Christ, and worshipped him by word, repeated prayers, and the hymns they sang.
There was a time of personal prayer near the beginning, a quiet time. I immediately came to the rock bridge where I had been earlier this morning in my personal prayer. I made my same covenant as I always do on Sunday before my Heavenly Parents. When I was finished, Heavenly Father spoke to me:
'Raphael, we accept your covenant today, even though you did not take the emblems of the sacrament. Your actions are pleasing to us.'
The worship meeting then proceeded, and I became involved again in the gathering that was happening at this church.
For the scripture reading, we read from 1 Corinthians 3, which concluded with verses 21-22, from their Bible:
"So let no one boast about human leaders. For all things are yours, whether Paul or Apollos or Chepas or the world or life or death or the present or the future-all belong to you, and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God."
This reminded me of D&C 76:98-101, speaking of those in the telestial world:
"And the glory of the telestial is one, even as the glory of the stars is one; for as one star differs from another star in glory, even so differs one from another in glory in the telestial world;
For these are they who are of Paul, and of Apollos, and of Cephas.
These are they who say they are some of one and some of another, some of Christ and some of John, and some of Moses, and some of Elias, and some of Esaias, and some of Isaiah, and some of Enoch;
But received not the gospel, neither the testimony of Jesus, neither the prophets, neither the everlasting covenant."
At that moment, Heavenly Mother came next to my side, and bore witness to me that these were good people, trying to do what is right in a dark and faltering world. She said:
'Raphael, these people who seek us in prayer, and who have little to guide them, will be accounted as the terrestrial of the earth. They will be admitted into the millennial world, along with their beliefs, for they are the "honorable men and women of the earth, who were blinded by the craftiness of men", who received not the testimony of Jesus in the flesh, but afterwards received it. These are they who are terrestrial. We will allow those like some of the members of this church and congregation, to come into the era of 1000 years of peace and rest. However, for those who have received so much, as the members of the restored LDS Church, we have been provoked to anger. This, our restored church in 1830, will not be allowed into our millennial day of rest! It will be supplanted by the Church of Christ that we will establish again in the earth anew.'
(Note: This comment from Heavenly Mother made me think of this scripture, in D&C 65:2 "The keys of the kingdom of God are committed unto man on the earth, and from thence shall the gospel roll forth unto the ends of the earth, as the stone which is cut out of the mountain without hands shall roll forth, until it has filled the whole earth."
This verse tells us that the gospel shall roll forth, not the church or the kingdom. I have always thought it was the church. However, now I believe that the LDS Church will be fully supplanted by the Church of Christ.)
The meeting lasted only one hour. We were very warmly greeted, shaking hands with practically everyone in the congregation-with their warm smiles and interest. I couldn't help but compare this experience with the multitudes of various ward sacrament meeting experiences that we have had for the past four years in South Utah County. It has been so rare to be even recognized, and talked to, in any of these congregations of the Saints. We come and go like we are invisible. This has become 'normal' for us. It is sad to be treated so coldly in the Lord's church. The comparison of being so warmly received in a non-LDS Church was quite surprising."
27C1-27C6: "Q- The scripture (D&C 65:2) and the prophets (President Kimball, President Benson) have said that the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the Kingdom of God on the earth. Is this the Kingdom of Heaven too? Is there a difference?
A- See D&C 65:6 'Wherefore, may the kingdom of God go forth, that the kingdom of heaven may come'.
The keys of the kingdom of God have been committed to the LDS Church-D&C 65:2 'The keys of the kingdom of God are committed unto man on the earth, and from thence shall the gospel roll forth unto the ends of the earth, as the stone which is cut out of the mountain without hands shall roll forth, until it has filled the whole earth.' See the heading also to section 65- '1-2, The keys of the kingdom of God are committed to man on earth, and the gospel cause will triumph; 3-6, The millennial kingdom of heaven will come and join the kingdom of God on earth.'
The kingdom of God has been established in the telestial world. Now that the seventh seal is opened, the kingdom of heaven will come to the earth in the church of the Firstborn. This will grow out of the kingdom of God (LDS church) on the earth by the remnant whom the Lord calls (Joel 2:32- 'And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call.').
The church of the Firstborn is the same church that was established in heaven in the premortal life. This is the kingdom of heaven. The kingdom of God was never organized in heaven, for it was organized on earth through the prophet Joseph Smith in these last days. The kingdom of God and the kingdom of heaven are separate.
The guide to the scriptures on ChurchofJesusChrist.org states that 'Faithful Saints become members of the Church of the Firstborn in eternity (D&C 93:21-22).' (see Guide to the Scriptures: Firstborn). D&C 93:22- 'And all those who are begotten through me are partakers of the glory of the same, and are the church of the Firstborn.'
In the kingdom of God (LDS Church), interaction with deity, has primarily been with the Savior Jesus Christ. In the kingdom of heaven (church of the Firstborn), interaction is expanded to include Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother. This is THEIR kingdom on the earth, and will be established in the New Jerusalem.""

Doctrine & Covenants 65:3
3 Yea, a voice cryingPrepare ye the way of the Lord, prepare ye the supper of the Lamb, make ready for the Bridegroom.
28A5-28A7: "Q- In Revelation 19, John talks about the 'marriage supper of the Lamb' (see verses 7-9 above). What does this mean?
A- The marriage supper of the Lamb is when each individual who is begotten spiritually by Jesus Christ, and is then accepted into the church of the Firstborn by the ordinance of the waters of separation, by you Raphael, and recorded in the Book of Life by Oriphiel, my other archangel. Each person thus received is admitted into the presence of the Lord. This is in fulfillment of the parable of the ten virgins (see Matthew 25:1-13, given below). Note that this is referred by the Savior as 'the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins'. The kingdom of heaven is only found in the church of the Firstborn. Every righteous saint, from Adam, or Michael, the mighty archangel to the last one born and accepted in the millennium, will have this experience of the marriage supper of the Lamb. This is done in the New Jerusalem, the celestial city, on the earth.
See also D&C 65:3- "Yea, a voice cryingPrepare ye the way of the Lord, prepare ye the supper of the Lamb, make ready for the Bridegroom."
D&C 33:17- "Wherefore, be faithful, praying always, having your lamps trimmed and burning, and oil with you, that you may be ready at the coming of the Bridegroom""

Doctrine & Covenants 65:5-6
5 Call upon the Lord, that his kingdom may go forth upon the earth, that the inhabitants thereof may receive it, and be prepared for the days to come, in the which the Son of Man shall come down in heaven, clothed in the brightness of his glory, to meet the kingdom of God which is set up on the earth.
6 Wherefore, may the kingdom of God go forth, that the kingdom of heaven may come, that thou, O God, mayest be glorified in heaven so on earth, that thine enemies may be subdued; for thine is the honor, power and glory, forever and ever. Amen.
142H21-142H31: "Evening-Tonight I read D&C 65 about the kingdom of God on earth that would meet the kingdom of heaven when Jesus Christ descends in the brightness of his glory. I was a little confused what the kingdom of God on earth consists of? Was it the Church of Christ, or the Church of the Firstborn, or both?
I came to the mountain stream just before the waterfall in Heavenly Mother's lower garden. I faced the waterfall and prayed.
Heavenly Mother then came to me from the waterfall, approaching me quickly and then stepping a few feet from me in the air! She spoke immediately!
'Raphael, the keys of the kingdom of God had been committed to Joseph Smith Jun. in 1830 when we sent Peter, James and John. D&C 27:12-13:
"And also with Peter, James and John, whom I have sent unto you, by whom I have ordained you and confirmed you to be apostles, and especial witnesses of my name, and bear the keys of your ministry and of the same things which I revealed unto them;
Unto who I have committed the keys of my kingdom, and a dispensation of the gospel for the last times; and for the fulness of times, in the which I will gather together in one all things both which are in heaven, and which are on earth;"
Joseph Smith, even though he died, is now resurrected and still retains these keys to the kingdom of God on the earth. Those who were apostles in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have recently lost their priesthood and their keys they had received through the prophets back to Joseph Smith.
When the Church of Christ is re-established again on the earth, prior to the second coming of Jesus Christ, Joseph Smith will ordain and confer these keys on the newly chosen apostle who will be appointed to be the head of this restored terrestrial church. He will then possess the keys of the kingdom of God. He will hold all the keys that Joseph was given by our holy messengers. He will act as the President and Prophet of the Church of Christ.
You, Raphael, have been directly commissioned by us your Gods on 5/14/2017 to 5/15/2017. (see your post 51J1-51J9 and 53A15). You were given responsibility of the wilderness area on this celestial orb until the coming of Jesus Christ to the earth, of building the New Jerusalem temple, and of establishing on earth the church of the Firstborn. This is the kingdom of heaven, or of the celestial, that of necessity needs to be established on the earth when Jesus Christ comes in glory to reign. His arrival in glory in the clouds of heaven will complete the arrival of the kingdom of Heaven on the earth.
Then will the scripture be fulfilled in D&C 65:5-6
"Call upon the Lord, that his kingdom may go forth upon the earth, that the inhabitants thereof may receive it, and be prepared for the days to come, in the which the Son of Man shall come down in heaven, clothed in the brightness of his glory, to meet the kingdom of God which is set upon the earth.
Wherefore, may the kingdom of God go forth, that the kingdom of heaven may come, that thou, O God, mayest be glorified in heaven so on earth, that thine enemies may be subdued, for thine is the honor, power and glory, forever and ever, amen."
The kingdom of heaven will come on the earth in preparation for the return of Jesus Christ. He will then take his rightful place on earth as the king of heaven, for he will be the king and lawgiver to those on the earth (see 2 Nephi 10:14 and Alma 5:50).
Raphael, all of your work for us is done in the celestial realms on this celestial orb and on earth. You help us direct and orchestrate all our work for the elect in preparation for the second coming of Jesus Christ.'
I bowed my head in humble acceptance of the words of my Heavenly Mother. I asked if I had written this all correctly? She responded:
'Raphael, all that you have written is accurate.
I expressed my willingness to obey her and Heavenly Father, in all they want me to do. I asked for strength and continued direction. I thanked her for coming today.
She smiled and then gave me the thought:
'Raphael, we will be with you continually, and will guide you in everything we want you to do!'
She then left and I closed my prayer."

5 Call upon the Lord, that his kingdom may go forth upon the earth, that the inhabitants thereof may receive it, and be prepared for the days to come, in the which the Son of Man shall come down in heaven, clothed in the brightness of his glory, to meet the kingdom of God which is set up on the earth.

The phrase "that his kingdom MAY go forth upon the earth" means that this kingdom had not yet been established at the time of this revelation. The saints are asked to call upon the Lord that this kingdom will go forth upon the earth. This kingdom wasn't established on the earth during the lifetime of Joseph Smith.
However, the kingdom of God WAS to be established BEFORE the second coming of Jesus Christ. These keys required to establish the kingdom of God on the earth have been committed to the archangel Raphael , prior to the second coming of Jesus Christ. The conferral of these keys are the same as the keys of the Kingdom of God on the earth. The declaration pronounced was for an eternal kingdom and will last forever, for it is celestial. This is the declaration given in May 2021 by the archangel Raphael : "While the stars remain, and the heavens send down dew upon the earth, so shall the union last". See 194H1 to 194H32.
142H24-142H28, from Heavenly Mother: "'Raphael, the keys of the kingdom of God had been committed to Joseph Smith Jun. in 1830 when we sent Peter, James and John. D&C 27:12-13:

The kingdom of God has now been established on the earth, as well as the Church of the Firstborn (both which are celestial and eternal, never to be taken from the earth). This celestial church and the kingdom of God will meet the kingdom of heaven when brought by Jesus Christ in his glorious second coming. It is at his coming that the telestial earth will be burned with his presence, which is when the enemies will be subdued or destroyed.

2 Verily I say unto you, blessed are you for receiving mine everlasting covenant, even the fulness of my gospel, sent forth unto the children of men, that they might have life and be made partakers of the glories which are to be revealed in the last days, as it was written by the prophets and apostles in days of old.
Tue, May 28, 2024
The everlasting covenant is found in the fulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ. When one receives a baptism from one authorized of Jesus Christ to administer it, this individual launches on the path of receiving eternal life and exaltation. They need to press forward, in faith and diligence, even until Jesus Christ accepts them and sends them to become members of his celestial church, the Church of the Firstborn.

Doctrine & Covenants 67:2
2 Behold and lo, mine eyes are upon you, and the heavens and the earth are in mine hands, and the riches of eternity are mine to give.
189E3-189E9: "Heavenly Father walked to me from the top of the switchback path to my north. He walked directly on the gold path until he stood in front of me. He spoke: 'Raphael, when your Heavenly Mother and I created our beautiful celestial orb, we had unlimited amounts of every precious stone or metal to choose from. We also could use any of our own creations in their celestial state to beautify and inhabit our celestial orb. We could build vast structures, or could create beautiful nature vistas depicting any season or environment we wished. We could also change what we created from time to time, all according to our desires. The result was is a beautiful celestial orb that was designed to enhance the glory of this celestial realm. This is "the glory of the celestial, which excels in all things-where God, even the Father, reigns upon his throne forever and ever." (D&C 76:92)
All of this kingdom is to bring joy, happiness, peace, and a place to enliven the soul of man and beast. The heavens and the creations and riches of eternity are all mine to give, even as seems good to me (D&C 67:2). Your Heavenly Mother and I desire to share all of this, even to the fulness of our highest celestial glory, with everyone of our faithful who endure to the end. These ultimately receive all that we have, even celestial glory forever.
Even with all of this wealth and unlimited beauty, our greatest satisfactions and joys are creating our own children and seeing them eventually become even as we are, Gods throughout eternity! There is no greater experience or thing we wish to do. This is why we continue in giving birth to our vast amount of children, one eternity after eternity, to share with them our life and to thrill in the process of bringing them into a glorious state like we enjoy.
Moses 1:39
"For behold, this is my work and my glory--to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man."
The progress of our beloved sons and daughters is our great work. We are continually involved in this, and never tire of the process. Our children, like you, who are our creations and who follow our divine plan, bring us great joy and eternal rewards. Even those who are willing to receive only a lesser degree of glory bring us satisfaction, for they choose on their own part of our glory that we are willing to share. Those who receive no kingdom of glory, who rebel and fight against us continually, bring us sadness. The heights of our joy necessarily also bring the possibilities of these great disappointments. However, by far the joys outweigh the sorrows in the entire process of bringing forth and creating our own children.
Raphael, your Heavenly Mother and I are very pleased to give all to you, and to our faithful elect, as you all prove to us you can receive and handle it. By our methods of gradually helping our children progress, we are assured they will be where they truly desire to be. Those who ultimately become as we are, Gods in eternity, are those that give us the greatest joy.
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his truths. I told him I love being in his and Heavenly Mother's presence. I said I was so very thankful for his plan for us, their children, to progress and grow like them. I told him I love him."

Doctrine & Covenants 67:10-13
10 And again, verily I say unto you that it is your privilege, and a promise I give unto you that have been ordained unto this ministry, that inasmuch as you strip yourselves from jealousies and fears, and humble yourselves before me, for ye are not sufficiently humble, the veil shall be rent and you shall see me and know that I am not with the carnal neither natural mind, but with the spiritual.
11 For no man has seen God at any time in the flesh, except quickened by the Spirit of God.
12 Neither can any natural man abide the presence of God, neither after the carnal mind.
13 Ye are not able to abide the presence of God now, neither the ministering of angels; wherefore, continue in patience until ye are perfected.
68C2-68C4: "My Heavenly Parents both came to me there last night. I gazed upon their happy faces. I had the night before shared with my oldest son my first encounter with Heavenly Mother (his family came over for dinner). He had written me about this later, about being guided in his scripture study by energy testing what to study. He also referred me to D&C 67:10-13 where he had been led, to where God gives us a promise to see him and know he lives.
D&C 67:10-13-
"And again, verily I say unto you that it is your privilege, and a promise I give unto you that have been ordained unto this ministry, that inasmuch as you strip yourselves from jealousies and fears, and humble yourselves before me, for ye are not sufficiently humble, the veil shall be rent and you shall see me and know that I am not with the carnal neither natural mind, but with the spiritual.
For no man has seen God at any time in the flesh, except quickened by the Spirit of God.
Neither can any natural man abide the presence of God, neither after the carnal mind.
Ye are not able to abide the presence of God now, neither the ministering of angels; wherefore, continue in patience until ye are perfected."
This explains that seeing God is not with the carnal neither natural mind, but with the spiritual. I realized that this is how I have always been able to see and converse with God! To have this privilege, we need to strip ourselves from jealousies and fears (two negative emotions), and humble ourselves. If we are sufficiently humble, the veil shall be rent and we will see God."
68H17-68H26: "Later-I realized that the scripture in D&C 67:10 that Heavenly Mother referred to on 1/27/2018, referred to a "carnal neither natural mind" (this is the conscious mind of man) and a "spiritual" mind (unconscious mind of man). I have been seeing God in my spiritual, or unconscious mind.
I prayed this evening at 9:50 PM after a very hard working day. I got a lot done today. I wanted to connect to my God before I got too tired.
I came to the oasis again, next to the bench facing south to the water. I drank three times, and noticed how gently it opened up my mind to receive. I prayed for my Heavenly Parents to come. They came in a mist or a cloud over the water and grew more and more visible. Then they both stepped onto the dry ground in front of me.
They were both smiling and happy with me. I asked them for their direction while I waited upon them. Heavenly Father looked at Heavenly Mother, then she asked me to write her words:
'Raphael, you have written correctly that the scripture in D&C 67:10 speaks of the natural mind and the spiritual mind. These are the same as your description of the conscious mind and the unconscious mind respectively. These are the same. Your description gives more depth to how these minds of man work.
When I gave birth to all of my children as spirit creations, male and female, they each had one mind that they used. They knew not at first that it would be divided into two parts once they left their celestial abode and entered mortality. However, we taught them how to automatically perform basic autonomic body functions in their unconscious part of their mind. This would work behind the scenes, and no longer be a conscious part of their mind, once they would enter mortality. When you energy test, you are accessing this hidden unconscious mind section of your mind. The unconscious mind performs many more volumes of functions than the conscious mind. It also holds or can access memories of the pre-earth life with us. The veil we have created exists between these two sections of the brain, or mind. Our children on earth do not recall their previous life since those memories are not in the conscious mind area, but we are accessible from the unconscious mind area.
You have developed a skill to access your unconscious section of your mind through your conscious mind. This takes skill, and is also a gift from us, your God.
We normally speak to your unconscious mind, since this is the spiritual mind. This can be accessed by your conscious mind, or natural or carnal mind when you meditate and pray to us. We bless our children on earth to receive confirmations of truth through this connection and revelation.
Lucifer and his minions are able to recall all of their memories from the pre-mortal world. They do not have a veil of forgetfulness, but their unconscious and conscious minds have kept together as one.
When our son or daughter dies, most gradually experience their minds being again united as one mind. Their memory of their pre-earth life and of their earth life become both part of their united mind. However, even with these full memories, many still choose to accept evil into their lives. They do so knowing our teachings to them before they came to mortality.
We have observed that if one of our children has propensities to spiritual areas, they will also have the same inclination in the flesh, in their conscious mind. We are also able to see how determined our children are to hear our voice and follow our gentle promptings. All of this testing is done on earth, without them realizing that they have left our presence, or that we even prepared them for their mortal experience. We often come among our children, but they cannot see us in their conscious minds. Their unconscious mind can see us and we can communicate with this portion of their minds.
The way to develop the communication between one's conscious and unconscious mind is by carefully sensing or spiritually listening to one's inner feelings and thoughts. Our children often reject these small intimations, thinking it is just their imagination. However, this is the pathway to connection with one's unconscious mind. The perceptions or connections are fragile, and are only developed with faith and persistence. You, Raphael, have refined your mind connection (unconscious to conscious) by repeatedly following those small perceptions, and becoming attenuated to them. You are therefore even able to write my words that I speak to your unconscious mind, even to your replicated self, in our heavenly realms.
Your conscious mind acts as one in all of your replicated selves and your spirit self inside of your body. Your conscious self only resides, however, in your mortal body.
Of all the stages of progression for our beloved children, it is only in mortality that their conscious and unconscious minds are separated. We watch carefully how our child acts in their conscious mind when confronted with good and evil choices, or all the abundant choices they are subjected to, with their veil over their unconscious mind.'
I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her wonderful explanation of the human mind, and it two sections, the unconscious and conscious mind. When she finished, I knew my prayer was concluding. I expressed my love and willingness to obey them always. I sought to be open and humble so that I could continue to receive from their hand such wonderful truths!"

25 And again, inasmuch as parents have children in Zion, or in any of her stakes which are organized, that teach them not to understand the doctrine of repentance, faith in Christ the Son of the living God, and of baptism and the gift of the Holy Ghost by the laying on of the hands, when eight years old, the sin be upon the heads of the parents.

28 And they shall also teach their children to pray, and to walk uprightly before the Lord.
31 Now, I, the Lord, am not well pleased with the inhabitants of Zion, for there are idlers among them; and their children are also growing up in wickedness; they also seek not earnestly the riches of eternity, but their eyes are full of greediness.
Fri, Jun 7, 2024
Yesterday my wife and I delivered to members of our ward who had raised their children an invite to an empty nest party in 2 1/2 weeks. We were very well received, and noticed how everyone wanted to talk with us about their life and their problems. A number of them had grown children living with them who had married, divorced and come back to their parent's home. Some were babysitting grandchildren on regular basis. Many seemed lonely.
This morning I prayed about what we saw, and wondered if D and I had done wrong in not babysitting our grandchildren. One in particular wants us to help her more, and care for her children more, and help her in her home in raising her children, cleaning her house, etc.
When praying to my Heavenly Father, here is what he spoke to my mind:
"Raphael, you did no wrong in raising your children, and then allowing them the great opportunity to raise their own children. You have cared for them without interfering, giving them room to choose how to raise their own. You have taken your cues from them on how much closeness to have. We are pleased with what you have done with your grown married children and your grandchildren!
The obligation to choose how to raise one's children rests with the parents, not with the grandparents. Grandparents may care and love, but they should also leave to allow the parents full responsibility to raise and train their own. Married children often forget their own parents in this process, hence we have given the commandment for all children, during all times of their lives, to honor their father and mother.
You are under no obligation to babysit grandchildren, to train grandchildren, or to impart of your riches to help them. We expect you to not interfere with them raising of their children, but instead to love and accept them with whatever ways they may choose. We hope that they will call upon us, their Heavenly Parents, for guidance in raising and nurturing their children. This includes disciplining and training. If they ask of us, we will guide them, but they need to initiate such direction from us, their loving Heavenly Parents."
I next immediately heard another voice, which I recognized as my Heavenly Mother! Here is what she spoke to my mind:
"Raphael, once our elect have raised their own children, they often feel neglected and lonely. They feel they have done this great effort in raising their own, and then it suddenly stops and their children marry and get very involved with having children and raising them how they wish. Their own children want to raise their family in their own way, and often don't want any advice from the aging parents who have learned so much from having just gone through the experience themselves.
We have planned this from the beginning:
Genesis 2:24 "Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh."
Grandparents may be a support when the parents call upon them, but they are soon aging with less energy, thereby not able to do much without tiring a lot. This also is how we have planned their lives. They have entered into a new phase of life where their responsibilities for their own children lessen and they learn to deal with their reduced activity levels. One thing we have planned, is that they are no longer responsible for their children and grandchildren, for that role has shifted to the new parents. If they are asked for advice, they may share it from their experience, but this is advice and their opinion only. The heavy responsibility lies with their new parents. This is where we also have placed this great burden of raising their children in righteousness and truth.
Were these parents to neglect to train and discipline their children, the grandparents should not interfere, but offer love and support. We want to see how these, our own children who have this new role of parenting, will do with this calling and responsibility.
Raphael, we love you and are very pleased in how you and your wife have raised your own children! When they have left your home and married, they were responsible adults with the full ability to choose what they wanted to do in their lives. Your stewardship to them then was over and fully shifted to them as a couple. Your responsibility from that time on was to love and accept them."
I thanked both of them deeply for this clarifying understanding! I felt an immediate need to write all that they had said to me. I asked them to be by my side as I attempted to capture their words. I believe I have mostly done this. I plan to review this over the next day also, and perhaps make a few adjustments as I ponder what I have written.
122J9-122J21, from Heavenly Mother: "She spoke: 'Raphael, each time you go on a family trip and are away from your normal routine at home, we will not come to give you revelations on any particular subject. We will comfort and bless you as you continue to connect to us twice a day.
You have been impressed recently how important a loving family and particularly understanding and caring parents are for their children. In your day, there are so many threats to children, and they are so vulnerable to dark influences around them! Children are so innocent and are fully subject to the amount of light and darkness that their parents allow. Parents have a nurturing and protective role, to guide and steer children in ways that will benefit their growth and understanding of truth. Children should be taught to believe in God, and in the need for a Savior, even Jesus Christ. Ideally, parents teach by example how to pray and lead godly lives.
D&C 68:25-28,31: "And again, inasmuch as parents have children in Zion, or in any of her stakes which are organized, that teach them not to understand the doctrine of repentance, faith in Christ, the Son of the living God, and of baptism and the gift of the Holy Ghost by the laying on the hands, when eight years old, the sin be upon the heads of the parents.
For this shall be a law unto the inhabitants of Zion, or in any of her stakes which are organized.
And their children shall be baptized for the remission of their sins when eight years old, and receive the laying on of the hands.
And they shall also teach their children to pray, and to walk uprightly before the Lord.
Now I, the Lord, am not well pleased with the inhabitants of Zion, for these are idlers among them; and their children are also growing up in wickedness; they also seek not earnestly for the riches of eternity, but their eyes are full of greediness."
Raphael, we wish children who reach the age of eight years old to have been taught these things and to be baptized by one who has honored his priesthood. However, there are no priesthood keys remaining in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Those parents who have children that have reached the age of eight years old, and would normally be baptized in the LDS church, may still be baptized. This ordinance will be done with the inherent authority of the one who holds the Aaronic or Melchizedek priesthood, who is acceptable to the Father. Whether or not they receive approval from their LDS bishop or not is no longer an issue to us. If the priesthood holder is righteous, and receives our spirit, we will honor him to continue to baptize the living using his inherent priesthood power. This is similar to how the Aaronic priesthood holder currently blesses the sacrament, without the necessary approval of the bishop since there are no more keys in the LDS church.'
We will allow these baptisms to continue to be accepted by us, and the sacrament to continue to be blessed in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
The conferral of the Aaronic priesthood has inherent keys to administer the sacrament and baptize for the remission of sins. (See D&C 13 and 107:20)
D&C 107:20-"The power and authority of the lesser, or Aaronic priesthood, is to hold the keys of the ministering of angels, and to administer in outward ordinances, the letter of the gospel, the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins, agreeable to the covenants and commandments."
At this time, my Heavenly Father came next to Heavenly Mother above the water. He appeared so majestic and full of light. His eyes, his eternity eyes, were so full of truth and understanding!
He spoke:
'Raphael, you are wondering about the inherent authority of those who hold my priesthood on the earth, whether Aaronic or Melchizedek.
What your Heavenly Mother has spoken to you about the authority of those righteous men and boys who hold the Aaronic priesthood is true. They may administer the sacrament and baptize by immersion for the remission of sins, for the living and have these be acceptable before us, their Gods. These ordinances are inherent in their Aaronic priesthood, as described in the scriptures.
Normally, we have these ordinances controlled and administered in a regular manner by the bishop, who would normally hold the keys of the Aaronic priesthood (see D&C 107:15). However, the keys to the Melchizedek and Aaronic priesthood in the church have been removed, because that priesthood and keys are removed from the First Presidency and Quorum of the twelve apostles. Now there only remains keys and authority in the bearer of that priesthood inherent to that priesthood. Blessing the sacrament and the authority to baptize is inherent in the calling and conferral of the Aaronic priesthood. A priest in that priesthood may bless the sacrament and baptize by immersion for the remission of sins.
There are responsibilities and powers of the Melchizedek Priesthood that also do not require church keys to function, but are inherent in that priesthood. These include giving priesthood blessings, healing blessings and sealings of those blessings, and conferral of the gift of the Holy Ghost. All ordinations to confer the Melchizedek priesthood or Aaronic priesthood will need to wait until the Church of Christ is again established on the earth, in a future day. Other ordinances relating to church callings, and all temple ordinances are also no longer acceptable to us without the keys in the church of Christ are restored again to the earth.'
Raphael, this is a unique time of transition between the once approved church of Jesus Christ and the future Church of Christ. Follow our guidelines until the new Church of Christ is established again on the earth through our prophet Joseph Smith.'
I thanked my Heavenly Mother and Heavenly Father for their direction to me tonight! I said I would follow whatever they reveal to me."
127A3-127A12: "My Heavenly Mother came to me from a cloud that formed above the water! She came quietly but full of light. I felt very happy to be in her wonderful presence. I felt her love, acceptance and peace come into me, accompanying her intense light that flowed through me.
She spoke to me: 'Raphael, you and your wife enjoyed visiting your new grandson Elijah yesterday. He is happy and learning so quickly the new world and environment he finds himself in! When your children enter into a new physical body, they had previously practiced and gained proficiency how to operate their body systems sufficiently. They had learned fully, in simulated ways, during their pre-mortal training. However, when they are on their own with their very own body, it is a brand new experience! This is a new adventure with many new sensations. They operate all of their body functions with their unconscious mind. Their conscious mind is very subject to becoming tired with the stimuli of a new world. They constantly are learning and growing! They still retain all of their pre-mortal memories, but these are kept in their unconscious mind. These memories also gradually fade from inactivity. Within a few years they have forgotten all about their heavenly home and are little children who continue to be dependent upon their parents. They accept whatever comes their way as normal. These perceptions of their new world become their reality. They are innocent and pure, fully growing and learning about their new world.
D&C 68:25-28, 31
"And again, inasmuch as parents have children in Zion, or in any of her stakes which are organized, that teach them not to understand the doctrine of repentance, faith in Christ the Son of the living God, and of baptism and the gift of the Holy Ghost by the laying on of the hands, when eight years old, the sin be upon the heads of the parents.
For this shall be a law unto the inhabitants of Zion, or in any of her stakes which are organized.
And they shall also teach their children to pray, and to walk uprightly before the Lord.
Now, I, the Lord, am not well pleased with the inhabitants of Zion, for there are idlers among them; and their children are also growing up in wickedness; they also seek not earnestly the riches of eternity, but their eyes are full of greediness."
Raphael, it is a grave responsibility to be a parent and to raise a new innocent child! The child is so very dependent upon their parents or caretakers for their growing belief system, habits and patterns of living. They unquestionably follow whatever they see and experience from their parents, not able to yet discern good or evil. These habits and patterns of their parents become so ingrained as young children that they are very difficult to change, even as an adult later in life.
We visit the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of those who do not follow our ways (see Exodus 20:5). Thus the weaknesses of the parents are perpetuated upon their children. However, "The sins of the parents cannot be answered upon the heads of the children, for they are whole from the foundation of the world" (see Moses 6:54), for Jesus Christ, the great redeemer, has atoned for their sins. The children are expected, however, to repent of their sins and weaknesses of the flesh they inherited and were taught. We help them view their own weaknesses, and will help them as they humble themselves before us and have faith in Jesus Christ. (see Ether 12:27)
This process of changing patterns and beliefs that are learned as children can be a very difficult process. Many in your day go to therapy and professionals trained to help them know what normal behavior is. Satan rages in the hearts of our children, once they become accountable before us. It is hardly known in many places on earth now what is normal and what is sinful or perverted! The world in which you live is a dark and difficult environment, in many areas, in which to raise children.
We have sent forth our gospel of Jesus Christ into the world to save the peoples of the world from their wayward ways. We send our Holy Spirit to confirm to the hearts and minds of our mortal children so that they may be led and receive our guidance. It will be particularly important for our faithful children to follow our Spirit in these last days. Without our guidance, it will not be possible to navigate their lives in such a difficult environment.
D&C 45:57
"For they that are wise and have received the truth, and have taken the Holy Spirit for their guide, and have not been deceived-verily I say unto you, they shall not be hewn down and cast into the fire, but shall abide the day."
We generously send our Spirit upon the inhabitants of the earth to enlighten and bless them. Those of our children, from all circumstances and from any walk of life, will be enlightened and blessed as they follow their inner conscience. As they seek the good, we will give them more guidance. We will not leave them alone, but will comfort and guide them. It will not be easy, but will be possible.
Raphael, we have our holy angels and heavenly servants sent forth upon the world to help rescue those who will follow us. We will bring those of a Christ-like nature into our millennial day, when Satan will be bound and not able to influence them to do evil. Their posterity will soon have children that "shall grow up without sin unto salvation." (see D&C 45:58)) Oh, what a wonderful happy day for me that will be!'
I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her words! I thanked her for our children who have been raised correctly, to the best of our ability, and to our grandchildren who are also being raised by good and well-meaning, responsive parents who are trying their best. I prayed for the Holy Spirit to be abundantly poured out upon the honest and sincere people of the world who seek to do what is right and good. I committed to act and do whatever she and Heavenly Father inspire me, whether in the celestial realms on the earth, or in my mortal state where I live. I told her I loved her."

Doctrine & Covenants 68:29, 31-32
29 And the inhabitants of Zion shall also observe the Sabbath day to keep it holy.
31 Now, I, the Lord, am not well pleased with the inhabitants of Zion, for there are idlers among them; and their children are also growing up in wickedness; they also seek not earnestly the riches of eternity, but their eyes are full of greediness.
32 These things ought not to be, and must be done away from among them; wherefore, let my servant Oliver Cowdery carry these sayings unto the land of Zion.
135C29-135C31, from Heavenly Mother: "'Raphael, I love my children who come to earth as innocent and pure little babies! Their earthly parents are richly blessed. They have a charge to nurture and care for these helpless little ones, and to protect them. They often feel a bit of heaven when our little ones come into their arms for the first time. This is a time of transfer of responsibility to them for the earthly care of our precious children!
They are to lovingly nurture and introduce our little ones into their new world. We desire them to teach these little ones our gospel truths, as much as they understand.
D&C 68:29,31-32 -"And they (parents) shall also teach their children to pray and walk uprightly before the Lord.
And the inhabitants of Zion shall also observe the Sabbath day to keep it holy.
Now, I, the Lord, am not well pleased with the inhabitants of Zion, for there are idlers among them; and their children are also growing up in wickedness; they also seek not earnestly the riches of eternity, but their eyes are full of greediness."
We desire parents to teach their children of Jesus Christ, of his great sacrifice for them. Parents should teach their children faith in Jesus Christ, and repentance when eight years old. When they are then of age to be baptized in that restored church with our many heavenly blessings and my gift of the Holy Ghost that I will pour out upon all of the faithful. Children at eight years of age do not understand the ramifications of us, their Heavenly Parents, in removing our priesthood blessing from the leaders of this LDS church, and for us to reject this church. Until they are of the maturity to understand for themselves, the structure of baptism into the LDS church provides a stable young childhood for them, growing in basic truths of the gospel and of Jesus Christ. This is a difficult time, between when your Heavenly Father and I have rejected the LDS church and re-established this new Church of Christ. We desire parents to come to us, in humble and open-minded prayer, and we will guide them how to navigate the instruction and baptism of their young children, on a one-by-one basis."

30 And the inhabitants of Zion also shall remember their labors, inasmuch as they are appointed to labor, in all faithfulness; for the idler shall be had in remembrance before the Lord.
174H16-174H18, from Heavenly Mother: "Raphael, this is one of the laws of Zion:
D&C 68:30
"And the inhabitants of Zion also shall remember their labors, inasmuch as they are appointed to labor, in all faithfulness; for the idler shall be had in remembrance before the Lord."
There is much joy that comes to the human soul from their hard work and diligent effort. Zion will be established by the labor and work of our children, be it our celestial servants at first, or by our mortal elect who come and are assigned to labor with the skills they have developed in their lives. We will bless those who work with a joyful heart, looking forward to the fruits of their labors."

201C7: "'Raphael, you have done well to have given to the leaders of the tribes of Israel their twelve major work assignments. This will begin the start of mortal labors on this island and the nearby barren lands. We will abundantly bless our people in their actions to fulfill all that we desire. We want each of our sons and daughters to have some responsibility, and to use their skills and talents. There should be no idlers among them (see D&C 68:31 and D&C 75:29), but all need to be united in a common cause. Our Spirit will come among this humble and obedient people, so that they may magnify their callings. They will have great unity and purpose in building Zion in this beautiful terrestrial world we have created!'"

130E13-130E19: "Heavenly Mother spoke again: 'Raphael, we honor the agency of our children, and will enlighten them as much as they themselves are willing to receive. Our elect have a desire to be open and receptive to us and to receive of our light. They love this light we send to them and feel most comfortable in our light. This is such a blessing and assurance to them in their earthly life, whether they live in mortality or in the spirit world on the earth.
We entirely take our cues from our children on how close they desire to be to us. If they humbly approach us, we will tenderly lead them, step by step, even until we reveal ourselves directly to them as you see me before you this morning. We are eager to reveal to each one the secrets of our will, our mysteries of the heavens, and all things, in time. As they exercise faith in us, and make time for us, we will reveal ourselves more and more to them. This is all determined by them and their desires to connect with us. We always desire to connect and love them, but if they don't ask of us, and make time for us, we will not foist ourselves upon them.'
I thanked my loving Heavenly Mother, who stood in front of me, for her words. We were able to freely communicate with each other so very wonderfully! I felt so open and receptive to her feelings and thoughts.
'Raphael, your Father and I honor the agency of each of our children. We might send to a certain child more light, coupled with our love and acceptance of them, but if they are not receptive, we will not press our will or our light on them. They each may choose whom they list to obey.

"For every man (and woman) receiveth wages of him whom he listeth to obey, and this according to the words of the spirit of prophecy; therefore let it be according to the truth."

134B3-134B10: "He spoke: 'Raphael, your Heavenly Mother and I observed carefully our children in the fallen telestial mortal earth where you live. We have devised this fallen physical world in which they live to see or perceive what they choose without our presence. We are often next to them, on the other sides of three veils. They don't perceive that we are nearby.
We have divided up the categories of our children into three divisions, into the telestial, terrestrial and celestial. We see how they respond to our promptings, and watch their actions. The types of behavior of each division type is given in D&C 76, when multiple visions of these our children were revealed to Joseph Smith and SIdney Rigdon in 1832. These series of visions were given to them in the spirit, for by the spirit are hidden things brought to light. (See D&C 76:7-10).
Your Heavenly Mother and I have followed the same pattern as established by our first parent Gods who established the divisions of the type of their own children. These categories are for those who choose to follow their Great Redeemer as premortal spirits, and thereby kept their first estate.
Abraham 3:26-"And they who keep their first estate (the premortal life with us their Heavenly Parents on this celestial orb) shall be added upon (this means that these obedient spirits who accepted Jehovah would be allowed to come to the telestial physical world and gain a physical body and enter into their second estate); and they who keep not their first estate (this refers to Lucifer and the spirits that followed him in rebellion against their Heavenly Parents and our chosen Redeemer) shall not have glory in the same kingdom with those who keep their first estate (this glory comes when our spirit children receive their own beautiful physical bodies. This makes them more capable and powerful than Lucifer and his fallen spirits who don't have the glory of a physical body); and they who keep their second estate shall have glory added upon their heads forever and ever. (These are those who prove to us and themselves that they are our celestial elect. They will continue to be led by us back into our presence, and become couple Gods in eternity!) (comments added by Heavenly Father).
Each category of our children, whether telestial, terrestrial, or celestial, have laws and behavior we accept in our children for their entry into these kingdoms. We judge our children by what they do, how they act in their first and second estates. Our faithful elect hear our voice, the voice of our spirit in both estates, and then prove by their actions that they follow us above other voices and lure of the culture and environment they may be in.
Raphael, you and Oriphiel will receive our celestial natured children who will have overcome the world of the telestial or terrestrial environment, and risen to a celestial nature. There are laws and entry requirement for the celestial to qualify. The most evident is their obedience to our gospel standards of love and acceptance of all God's children. You will see this kindness, gentleness, acceptance and charity-depicting their love they received first from us their Heavenly Parents, and then repeated in their own lives. This love can be felt in their presence and seen in their eyes. You will get to recognize this quality of our faithful celestial children, for all will enter into our Church of the Firstborn. Our holy angels, who administer to them in the New Jerusalem temple, will also observe every one of these faithful, and likewise will see who the celestial-natured are like. Oh, we honor and love our celestial children! These will all become like us-for this glory that we give them in eternity, this godly life, is the very purpose of every eternity! In all the process of progression they go through, in both first and second estates, the end result is the eternal glory of our beloved children, in their many worlds of glory. Our celestial are the crowning jewel of all our creations! They become even as we are!'
I thanked my Heavenly Father for coming to me today, and for his wonderful insights and impressions I felt during this revelatory experience! He pulled me up off my knees so I was standing before him, and spoke:
'Raphael, your Heavenly Mother and I are so pleased in your obedience and diligence in seeking us, to be guided by us and filled with our love! We are able and feel free to share with you our many truths, as fast as you are able to receive them! We will reveal all these things also to all of our faithful who hear our voice and keep our commandments.
D&C 76:7-10-"And to them will I reveal all mysteries, yea, all the hidden mysteries of my kingdom from days of old, and for ages to come, will I make known unto them the good pleasure of my will concerning all things pertaining to my kingdom.
Yea, even the wonders of eternity shall they know, and things to come will I show them, even the things of many generations.

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her comforting words! I so love her and want to always seek her and my Heavenly Father with an open heart and mind, and receive what they wish to reveal to me! I told her how much I loved her."
134G18-134G26: "Heavenly Mother spoke: 'Raphael, I am pleased to come to you tonight! I want to speak to you about some hints I have to share with you about keeping cheery and in avoiding discouragement and becoming depressed.
You have noticed how happy I almost always am. My eternity eyes even sparkle with joy and I love to smile! This is a choice, for there is always something that I could think about that would make me sad. I therefore choose what I wish to think about. I think about the things that brighten my day and make me feel happy.
I also know about those things that bring sad or depressed thoughts, but I choose to not dwell on these. Knowledge of these thoughts that pull me down is not the same as dwelling on such thoughts. Even for us, who are the Heavenly Parents for all of our children in this eternity, we could feel a number of negative emotions were we to allow these thoughts to remain in our active mind. We usually can't do much about the actions of our disobedient children anyway, for we have given all of our children their own moral agency since the time I birthed them as spirits in the premortal life. They have continued to choose for themselves when they came into the mortal telestial world. We may entice and speak to them, but if they won't hear us or obey, we then are powerless to affect a change in their own lives.
I choose to think thoughts and allow feelings to enter into my mind that I can control in exercising my own agency. These are within my own domain, and when I choose to do something, it happens. I have power to affect a change in these things.
I also rejoice with your Heavenly Father in our faithful elect who listen to us and obey what we say. This group of our children brings us great joy and the satisfaction of orchestrating everything in this eternity to bring to pass their exaltation and glory. Your Father and I continually think about these, our righteous children! We so love how they are eager to follow our gentle promptings and subtle nudges. We spend our time teaching and guiding them and delight to honor and bless these, our elect!
Raphael, these things that we share with our elect delight me! I love to share these new truths with them and thrill with them in their new insights and understandings. These are the things that I allow to occupy my thoughts and upon which I dwell and think of. These make me happy and full of light and joy, even to making my eternity eyes beam with sparkling light and deep contentment!'
I said to my Heavenly Mother the following-'My beautiful Heavenly Mother, I feel so honored to have heard these great truths from your lips tonight! I too wish to employ these keys of keeping happy and positive in my life. I want to think of those things in my control that I can change. I also want to think about the positive and the many blessings that you and Heavenly Father pour out so abundantly upon me! Oh, I love you so very much! Thank you so much for all your care and love you shower upon all the faithful!'
She stepped forward and embraced me in her loving arms, even while I was still kneeling before her! I felt her deep joy and love, particularly for her faithful children. I knew she loved to guide and serve them and to think about them continually."

Doctrine & Covenants 76:25-27
25 And this we saw also, and bear record, that an angel of God who was in authority in the presence of God, who rebelled against the Only Begotten Son whom the Father loved and who was in the bosom of the Father, was thrust down from the presence of God and the Son,
26 And was called Perdition, for the heavens wept over him, he was Lucifer, a son of the morning.
27 And we beheld, and lo, he is fallen! is fallen, even a son of the morning!
178D7-178D8: "I thanked my all knowing Heavenly Father for his words. I asked if there were sons and daughters of perdition.
Heavenly Father answered: 'Raphael, there are male and female individuals who will qualify as sons and daughters of perdition. See D&C 76: 25-38 for a detailed description of their fate. These will not be redeemed in the due time of the Lord, and will suffer the same fate as Lucifer and his evil hosts who never came to mortality.'"
178D11-178D21: "Tonight I reread again D&C 76 about the three degrees of glory. I read also that "many are called, but few are chosen" (D&C 121:34, 40). I believe the elect of God are called, but there are fewer who are chosen by Jesus Christ and brought into the Church of the Firstborn.
I read about how the Father sheds forth the Holy Spirit of Promise upon all those who are just and true (D&C 76:53). This is the promise of eternal life, which coincides with choosing to become a member of the Church of the Firstborn.
I wondered if all of the elect would be able to meet Christ in the air when he returns to the clouds of heaven, or if it would only be those who will have proven themselves and received the promise of eternal life.
I came this evening to the birch tree grove that is on the hill east of Lake Beautiful. I drank from the little stream and felt clarified and enlightened by the Spirit of God. I asked for my Heavenly Mother to come to me in answer to my prayer request.
Heavenly Mother then came upon me from the sky above! She descended through the treetops and came in front of me.
She immediately spoke: 'Raphael, my son, when Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son, comes in glory in the clouds of heaven to the earth, he will remove the last part of the mortal earth and transition it to a terrestrial mortal earth. Those telestial mortals who remain will die.
The others on the earth, who are the elect of God, will come into the clouds of heaven to greet their Redeemer and descend with him to the new terrestrial earth. The elect will include those who will in the end receive a celestial reward and a terrestrial reward. They will all move forward into the glorious millennial day where Jesus reigns personally on the earth. The entire physical earth will become terrestrial in nature, and the abode of Zion, the pure in heart.
As our sons and daughters press forward in faith, keeping every commandment and being led by our Spirit, then one day our Beloved Son will say to them, calling them by name, and tell them they will be exalted. He will soon thereafter introduce them to us, their Heavenly Parents. We will make our abode with that candidate of eternal life, our beloved son or daughter. Soon he or she will come and receive from you and Oriphiel the entry ordinance into the Church of the Firstborn. They will then be on the path to their eternal exaltation.
At some point in this process, I will shed forth my Holy Ghost upon them so they receive the Holy Spirit of Promise. This is the spiritual witness of what Jesus Christ promised, and why Oriphiel recorded their name in the Book of Life, which is also the promise of eternal life. It will be my stamp of approval and an additional witness of these promises made by Jesus and the angels. This individual has come this far by pressing forward in diligence and in faith, having overcome all things by their actions and effort to repent and conform to every word of direction we may give to him or her.
The overall purpose of the thousand years of the millennium is for us to secure to each one of our celestial elect the promise of eternal life and exaltation. Every one will have been received into the New Jerusalem temple and will have received the ordinances of the Church of the Firstborn in that celestial temple. They will then be all ready, at the end of the earth's physical existence, to have the culminating ordinances from us, their God, to become couple Gods in eternity. All will be resurrected in the First Resurrection, or the celestial resurrection, before any of our other children are resurrected to lesser realms of glory.
Raphael, when Jesus, the Great Redeemer, stated that many are called, but few are chosen (D&C 121:34,40), he was referring to the elect being called. We call initially all the elect who want to keep our commandments and obey our gospel. However, those who are ultimately chosen, the celestial, are selected by Jesus Christ for entry into his celestial Church of the Firstborn. These are relatively few, even among the elect that enter into Zion, and into the millennial day. Thus many are called but few are chosen. These few become Gods, even as we are Gods, for they overcome all things by faith and their diligent heed. All of the others who are not chosen receive a kingdom of glory, but not of the fullness where your Father, Jesus Christ and I live.'"
119C1-119C9: "Today I came again to the desert. I came to the little stream not far away to the southwest of the oasis. I could see the oasis in the distance. I walked around the sand and in the water, trying to ground myself. I have felt a heaviness of sadness due to poor choices of loved ones I know. Trying to ground myself has helped me, for I feel in synch with this heavenly orb. I will come here when I feel a need to settle myself, when I feel sad or grieving, or when I need to face reality and see life as it really is.
I found a shallow area of the stream and knelt in the wet sand. I drank of living water, with the intent to fully feel my emotions and to accept reality. I felt much more settled. I then asked for one or both of my Heavenly Parents to come.
Heavenly Father then came to me, walking above the desert stream to me from the south. He came to me and immediately embraced me! I felt his understanding, his deep love and compassion. I felt his gentle light soothe and comfort me.
Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, it is important to let yourself be sad when another you love makes a poor choice. It is normal to be filled with sadness, heaviness, and grief. This is a process to feel and accept. There is no real prescribed length of feeling these negative emotions. However, when you have fully felt all of these, and accepted reality, you then will wake up one day and be ready again to be happy. We who are your Gods have undergone many times of sadness and grief in this eternity.'
Heavenly Father then stepped back and stood in the wet sand in front of me while I was still kneeling in the wet sand.
'Raphael, I want to express to you the feelings we had of deep sorrow and sadness when Lucifer and his hosts were finally cast out of heaven for rebellion. This event is always extremely painful in each eternity for us and all who remain with us on our celestial orb.
D&C 76:25-27 "And this we saw also, and bear record, that an angel of God who was in authority in the presence of God, who rebelled against the Only Begotten Son, whom the Father loved and who was in the bosom of the Father, was thrust down from the presence of God and the Son.
And was called Perdition, for the heavens wept over him-he was Lucifer, a son of the morning.'
Once the battle with Lucifer and his hosts was completed, and Satan and his followers were all cast to the earth that we had created, the angels who removed this third part of heaven away, returned to our celestial orb. They told us of the battle and we all wept and greatly sorrowed! It was difficult for many of our children to accept reality that this event had actually happened! Many felt like their spirits were being torn apart in grief and deep sorrow. We taught them to allow these deep feelings to settle on them, and to do like you are doing, and ground themselves on our heavenly orb. We allowed all to suffer the pains of separation, to be filled with trauma and dark negative emotions of sorrow, grief and loss. We too, who are the Heavenly Parents of those who had rejected us, also wept, mourned, and grieved. We talked with our grieving children many times, alone and in groups, of how to accept the reality of the great schism in our family.
Once a goodly period of mourning passed, we held a general meeting for all of our sorrowing and traumatized children, all of them, in the Great Assembly Hall. Your Heavenly Mother and I conducted the meeting. We said it was now time to return to our happy selves, for we had sorrowed and wept for many days. There was nothing we could do, for the choice to rebel and follow Lucifer was not our decision, but an individual decision of each one who followed Lucifer. We had tried to persuade them otherwise, but they would not listen. We allowed them their agency to choose whom they wanted to follow, and each one had made their choice. There was nothing we could do about it now.
Your Heavenly Mother and I then announced our next phase of effort, that of preparing for mortality. We said this would take lots of training and focused energy. We told our children that they should now put their energy and mind on this new exciting adventure of coming to a beautiful new telestial world, where they would gain a physical body like their Mother and I possessed. We showed them in vision a glimpse of what they would someday experience. This became a happy focus of their next phase of living and learning.'
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his comforting words today. I said I admired his great wisdom and the love and comfort he had continually given to me. I said I loved him so very much."

Doctrine & Covenants 76:25-38
25 And this we saw also, and bear record, that an angel of God who was in authority in the presence of God, who rebelled against the Only Begotten Son whom the Father loved and who was in the bosom of the Father, was thrust down from the presence of God and the Son,
26 And was called Perdition, for the heavens wept over him, he was Lucifer, a son of the morning.
27 And we beheld, and lo, he is fallen! is fallen, even a son of the morning!
28 And while we were yet in the Spirit, the Lord commanded us that we should write the vision; for we beheld Satan, that old serpent, even the devil, who rebelled against God, and sought to take the kingdom of our God and his Christ
29 Wherefore, he maketh war with the saints of God, and encompasseth them round about.
30 And we saw a vision of the sufferings of those with whom he made war and overcame, for thus came the voice of the Lord unto us:
31 Thus saith the Lord concerning all those who know my power, and have been made partakers thereof, and suffered themselves through the power of the devil to be overcome, and to deny the truth and defy my power
32 They are they who are the sons of perdition, of whom I say that it had been better for them never to have been born;
33 For they are vessels of wrath, doomed to suffer the wrath of God, with the devil and his angels in eternity;
34 Concerning whom I have said there is no forgiveness in this world nor in the world to come
35 Having denied the Holy Spirit after having received it, and having denied the Only Begotten Son of the Father, having crucified him unto themselves and put him to an open shame.
36 These are they who shall go away into the lake of fire and brimstone, with the devil and his angels
37 And the only ones on whom the second death shall have any power;
38 Yea, verily, the only ones who shall not be redeemed in the due time of the Lord, after the sufferings of his wrath.
178D7-178D8: "I asked if there were sons and daughters of perdition.
Heavenly Father answered: 'Raphael, there are male and female individuals who will qualify as sons and daughters of perdition. See D&C 76: 25-38 for a detailed description of their fate. These will not be redeemed in the due time of the Lord, and will suffer the same fate as Lucifer and his evil hosts who never came to mortality.'"

86F5, from Heavenly Father: "For those who have denied us as being their Heavenly Parents, they receive no kingdom of glory. They are single and isolated in eternity, for it would have been better for them not to have been born. (D&C 76:32) These suffer the wrath of God in eternity (D&C 76:33).

39 For all the rest shall be brought forth by the resurrection of the dead, through the triumph and the glory of the Lamb, who was slain, who was in the bosom of the Father before the worlds were made.
119D9-119D11, from Heavenly Mother: "The only children that I gave birth to that it would have been better for themselves not to have been born are Lucifer and his followers, who continue to insist on following Satan to the very end. The end of their state is worse than the first. At the first, they were in the same standing as all other intelligences, even on an equal basis as their brothers and sisters who became also our spirit children. In the end, because they rejected everything we gave them, even to denying that your Father and I were their very parents, they were eventually stripped of their own elemental matter and placed back into a state of intelligences only. However, in this final state, they were isolated, never receiving our light again and never being able to be visited by their gods in the future.
D&C 96:36-39-"These are they who shall go away into the lake of fire and brimstone, with the devil and his angels-and the only one on whom the second death shall have any power;
Yea, verily the only ones who shall not be redeemed in the due time of the Lord, after the sufferings of his wrath.
For all the rest shall be brought forth by the resurrection of the dead, through the triumph and the glory of the Lamb, who was slain, who was in the bosom of the Father before the worlds were made."
You see that all of our children except for the devils are saved in an eternal state that is much better than they were at the beginning when they were intelligences only. They receive the level of happiness they chose to receive. Only our elect children receive a fulness of joy in eternity, and become like us. They receive all that we have, even through the merits of our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, and their own diligence in choosing to follow us and our ways.'"

44 Wherefore, he saves all except themthey shall go away into everlasting punishment, which is endless punishment, which is eternal punishment, to reign with the devil and his angels in eternity, where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched, which is their torment
45 And the end thereof, neither the place thereof, nor their torment, no man knows;
46 Neither was it revealed, neither is, neither will be revealed unto man, except to them who are made partakers thereof;
47 Nevertheless, I, the Lord, show it by vision unto many, but straightway shut it up again;
48 Wherefore, the end, the width, the height, the depth, and the misery thereof, they understand not, neither any man except those who are ordained unto this condemnation.
115I9-115I11, from Heavenly Father: "The effort to judge, resurrect and escort to their eternal worlds of glory will all be overseen and monitored by Jesus Christ, the Great Redeemer. This will be a very big effort. When completed, the salvation of all of God's children will conclude for this eternity. It will then be the responsibility of your Heavenly Mother and me to return all of the hosts of Lucifer who remain, back to their original place where their intelligences were located when we first chose them to be our spirit sons and daughters. Once these are all returned, and their intelligences are stripped from their spirits, they will then migrate to their final destinations between the galaxies of the gods, to a location where we never will visit.
ere their "worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched, which is their torment-and the end thereof, neither the place thereof, nor their torment...no man knows; Neither was it revealed, neither is, neither will be revealed unto man, except to them who are made partakers thereof." (see D&C 76:44-46)
After all the dead are resurrected, who are our children, and after Lucifer and his hosts have been removed, the earth will be consumed by fire and will die. Then the plants and animals, which died on the earth will be resurrected and be placed in their respective worlds of glory. Finally, the earth itself will resurrect to a celestial earth, to become the abode of the faithful who are celestial."
50K4-50K5, from Heavenly Father: "4. Q- Is there a general location in the universe, where all of the spirit children who have fully rejected their God, and who are banished to a kingdom of no glory?
A- Yes. It is apart from all of the creations of the Gods, outside of the cosmos, which houses the unorganized intelligences and unorganized matter. Their destiny is in a location isolated and apart, never to be part again of the lovely creations or experiences of the Gods. This is in reality what these who receive this in eternity all chose. This is explained in D&C 76:44-48:
"Wherefore, he saves all except themthey shall go away into everlasting punishment, which is endless punishment, which is eternal punishment, to reign with the devil and his angels in eternity, where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched, which is their torment

90C16-90C19, from Heavenly Father: "Raphael, you know of the existence of these dark locations now between the galaxies, but you do not know where these are located. You also don't know of the terrible sufferings that these evil ones have brought upon themselves by their own choices. This suffering is only revealed to those who are made partaker thereof.
You may think that the prison orb is a place of darkness, temporarily holding evil spirits. You might also feel that the bottomless pit is also a place of complete darkness.
However, neither of these two locations are in complete darkness, for we still direct our light to these darkened places. These are our children, and some may still repent and come to our light, by their own choice. It is only in the two locations of darkness that have no light as I have indicated. The darkness of space beyond our universe does, however, have frequent visits from the Gods who are filled with light, but this darkness doesn't comprehend them as I have explained. The darkness between the galaxies does have visits occasionally too, when we, who are Gods, bring the evil intelligences there at the end of each eternity.
Light and darkness are opposites. They exist forever, and will never end. The more you obey us and follow our promptings, the more light, understanding and knowledge we send to you. They more disobedient you are, the more we take away light and truth from you.
Raphael, your mission requires you to be endowed with more and more light, truth and knowledge from us, your Heavenly Parents. We therefore will continue to reveal more and more to you, as fast as you are able to receive it!'
I knelt before my Heavenly Father on the grassy field. Heavenly Father stood before me, in light and power! I felt so receptive to his light that it seemed to beam into my being!
I thanked him for his amazing revelation today on darkness; what beautiful truths too about light and how this all works in the universe! I knew I had received enough this morning to absorb. I asked if I had record this revelation accurately.
Heavenly Father spoke:
'Raphael, you have correctly written all that I have revealed to you. This revelation is reserved for the faithful, and will not be revealed to the wicked.'"
178H18-178H20, from Heavenly Father: " Those that don't bring us joy are those who reject our great gifts, and turn away from all choices that would bring them a level of happiness.

These are all alone, singly without others, forever, throughout all future time.
In all of the choices of our children in each eternity, we encourage, entice, suggest, and enlighten their minds and hearts, but never force in any way any of our children in any of their choices. Each one needs to act in the liberty and freedom of conscience that we have given them. They either choose eternal life, some level of salvation, or endless misery reserved for the devils. We clearly give them the consequence of their choices, but they themselves choose.'"

48 Wherefore, the end, the width, the height, the depth, and the misery thereof, they understand not, neither any man except those who are ordained unto this condemnation.
115I2-115I13: "Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, I would like to address some recent questions from B about those we assign to judge the people in behalf of Jesus Christ (see post 114C7).
The twelve apostles chosen by Jesus Christ will judge the house of Israel who are telestial and terrestrial in their final state. The celestial of the house of Israel will have been judged of Jesus Christ prior to the final judgment of the telestial and terrestrial of this same group. The celestial will be accepted of Jesus Christ as he determines and be elected into the Church of the Firstborn, or of a celestial nature. All of the celestial will also be resurrected before any of the lower glories are resurrected or judged. The celestial are all part of the First Resurrection of the dead. They are all from the house of Israel, either by lineage or adopted in through the covenant of baptism in the Church of Christ. These are the elect of God. They continue being born in the flesh until the end of the millennial era.
The remainder of the [telestial]dead live in the telestial realm on the earth in the spirit world. This is where they reside until all of the celestial are resurrected in the First Resurrection. These remaining dead will be brought forth next, in the Second and Third Resurrections. The Second Resurrection will be for all of the terrestrial awaiting their resurrection, and once they are all resurrected, the telestial will be resurrected.
The terrestrial dead who reside in the spirit world, or spirit prison, will be initially judged of Jesus Christ to be terrestrial and then escorted to the throne room in our temple in this celestial orb. They will all be quickened in order to come into this higher celestial realm. Once there, Jesus Christ will have chosen servants who are already resurrected to a celestial glory to judge these terrestrial individuals, one at a time. Some of these will be the apostles of Jesus Christ who will judge only the house of Israel.
There will be others assigned to judge the remainder of who are not of the house of Israel. Those who are assigned to judge will review their premortal, mortal and post mortal activities in those realms. All of these memories will be refreshed to the minds of both the one being judged and the one judging. Their minds, both conscious and unconscious, will be united at that time so that they will see themselves and their previous actions fully. It will be obvious to these individuals, and to the ones who are assigned and overseen by Jesus Christ to judge them, to what state they really are, which is a terrestrial glory. Those being judged will acknowledge that their judgment is just and fair. At that time, they will resurrect, right in the throne room. Their Spirit will at that time return to the earth where their physical body was buried or lies, and through the power of Jesus Christ will resurrect to a terrestrial glory. They will then be temporarily be quickened again to the celestial glory and come again before the one who judged them in the throne room. These newly resurrected terrestrial souls will be exceedingly pleased to have their bodies back again! They will have been resurrected to the state they were laid down, whether in their infant, youth or adult state.
Another escort individual, who is also celestial and assigned by Jesus Christ, will then come and take these newly resurrected terrestrial individuals to their assigned eternal terrestrial world where they will then live in eternity. These assigned escorts will insure that these terrestrial individuals are comfortable and have a place in which to live. They will introduce them to their surroundings and to some of the other terrestrial children of God who also live in that terrestrial world. Once they are fully settled, the escort will then depart and return to the throne room for the next individual.
The terrestrial dead who are living in the telestial world of the dead will thus all come forth, one at a time, to be judged and resurrected, and then assigned to their eternal terrestrial world. Once all of the terrestrial dead are resurrected, the second resurrection will then end.
The final children of God living in the telestial world of the dead, who have once lived on earth, will then be chosen to come forth and be judged, resurrected to a telestial glory and assigned to the telestial world of glory. These same individuals assigned and commissioned of Jesus Christ will repeat their actions for this group of God's telestial children. This will be for the third resurrection of the dead, or the resurrection of the telestial.
The effort to judge, resurrect and escort to their eternal worlds of glory will all be overseen and monitored by Jesus Christ, the Great Redeemer. This will be a very big effort. When completed, the salvation of all of God's children will conclude for this eternity. It will then be the responsibility of your Heavenly Mother and me to return all of the hosts of Lucifer who remain, back to their original place where their intelligences were located when we first chose them to be our spirit sons and daughters. Once these are all returned, and their intelligences are stripped from their spirits, they will then migrate to their final destinations between the galaxies of the gods, to a location where we never will visit.
Here their "worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched, which is their torment-and the end thereof, neither the place thereof, nor their torment...no man knows; Neither was it revealed, neither is, neither will be revealed unto man, except to them who are made partakers thereof." (see D&C 76:44-46)
After all the dead are resurrected, who are our children, and after Lucifer and his hosts have been removed, the earth will be consumed by fire and will die. Then the plants and animals, which died on the earth will be resurrected and be placed in their respective worlds of glory. Finally, the earth itself will resurrect to a celestial earth, to become the abode of the faithful who are celestial.
Raphael, I have explained the sequence we, who are Gods, follow in every eternity in the salvation of all of our children and creations. These are the final culminating actions we take to complete the eternity, prior to conferring upon our own celestial children their position as couple gods in eternity. Their inheritance, the celestial earth, will now have been resurrected and made into a beautiful abode for our faithful. We will then confer upon them each our Godly powers in the lands of their own inheritance on the celestial resurrected earth.'
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his grand overview of the judgment, resurrection, and eternal destiny of his terrestrial and telestial children. I said to him I loved him and these eternal truths that he and my Heavenly Mother continually reveal to me!"
50K4-50K5, from Heavenly Father: "Q- Is there a general location in the universe, where all of the spirit children who have fully rejected their God, and who are banished to a kingdom of no glory?

Wherefore, the end, the width, the height, the depth, and the misery thereof, they understand not, neither any man except those who are ordained unto this condemnation.""
90C2-98C19: "'Raphael, today I would like to share with you information about darkness. I had introduced you ten days ago all about light. The opposite of light is darkness. Darkness is the absence of light. In the beginning, when there were yet no Gods, all was darkness, for light had not yet been created. Once our first Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother clothed themselves as spirits, with their intelligence inside their spirits, they then created light. This was created even before they created their first child or themselves were resurrected. Once they created light matter from the elements, they also made a way for this light matter to flow into them and become converted into light energy. This allowed them to shine forth in the vast darkness. They learned how to control the level of intensity of this light coming from their persons. They could cause the light to brightly shine or not to shine at all.
All about them was darkness. There was abundance of the elemental matter from which this light was created by them. There were also intelligences among this elemental matter. From these three things: intelligence, elemental matter, and light, they began creating all things. They chose to make their offspring and all things they have since created to have being and be able to function only in the presence of light. This was akin to sending electricity to a light bulb, for the creation of the light bulb couldn't function like it was intended unless electricity flowed to it. Likewise, none of their creations could function without this light that they, our first Gods, would send to them. This is how our first parent Gods created all things and enlivened all things.
At this moment during their first creations, all the universe was darkness except around their own beings, for they had just created light. The darkness pervaded all intelligences and the infinite amount of elemental matter had no intelligence.
Today, there is still part of this vast network of galaxies in their universe that is dark. This darkness exists in two locations: 1) inside the boundaries of their universe, between the multiple galaxies, and 2) outside of their universe in dark space.
Within their universe, the darkness exists in locations found between the galaxies of the Gods. These are distinct locations where the light of our first parent Gods never enters anymore. All other space between the galaxies has light matter flowing now through it, to some galaxy where a couple god are located.
However, these dark locations in between the galaxies have no light matter, for these are the final habitation of the devils who once were the offspring of a couple god. They have all insisted that they were not descendants of these Gods, and they only wanted to rebel and practice evil continually. They have been given kingdoms of no glory, which means their kingdom has no light, but is in complete darkness, even as it was in the beginning before the days of creation.
These devil or evil entities are stripped of all elemental matter at one point, and their base intelligence is confined to these dark regions between the galaxies. Their elemental matter that is stripped from their spirits is sent back to the pool of elemental matter to be reused again. However, their core intelligence has been proven to never be able to be clothed upon again with elemental matter of any sort. These evil intelligences are confined in the darkness, alone and single, never capable to afflict or torment man. They have no power to ever of themselves rise to even contact another intelligence. They are left alone with their own thoughts in eternity, all in complete darkness and the absence of light.
The second area of darkness is outside of the universe of all the creations. In this region, there is no end to space and darkness. This region contains two things: intelligence and elemental matter. This is the region that all Gods come to select intelligence and matter to form their own creations, and then bring them into the universe where they may be filled with the light that comes from our first parent Gods.
The only beings that have power to go beyond the edges or boundaries of the universe are the Gods who have been ordained to this power. Without this ability, there would be no new creations, for all new creations need intelligence and elemental matter, found only outside of the universe.
When we or any other couple Gods go beyond the boundaries of our common universe, we are able to travel there with our full power and light. Even when we go out into the darkness of outer space, the light matter from our first Gods continues to be in us and flow into us. We may, therefore, be in the regions of outer darkness and fully perceive every intelligence and elemental matter source that we may come upon. We perceive who and what they are with our full perceptions and capabilities of being a god. This fulfills the scripture:
D&C 45:7-
"For verily I say unto you that I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the light and the life of the world-a light that shineth in darkness and the darkness comprehendeth it not."
In this scripture, Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son, says he is the beginning and the end. This is talking about god and the power of all the Gods to go forth into darkness of outer space. When we go there, we have light coming from our very beings that shines forth into this darkness. The intelligences that exist there do not know us until we communicate with them. If we don't communicate with them, our light shines in the darkness, and the darkness comprehendeth us not.
The darkness of outer space is not scary or evil, like the darkness that houses the evil intelligences between the galaxies. We never go into these latter dark locations except to place the latest group of evil intelligences from our latest completed eternity. We have the power to create and to destroy. We therefore have the power to remove the intelligence from the elemental matter and place the evil intelligence into these dark confined locations. We do this by the power of god.
D&C 76:44-48
"Wherefore, he saves all except them--they shall go away into everlasting punishment, which is endless punishment, which is eternal punishment, to reign with the devil and his angels in eternity, where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched, which is their torment-
And the end thereof, neither the place thereof, nor their torment, no man knows;
Neither was it revealed, neither is, neither will be revealed unto man, except to them who are made partakers thereof;
Nevertheless, I, the Lord, show it by vision unto many, but straightway shut it up again;
Wherefore, the end, the width, the height, the depth, and the misery thereof, they understand not, neither any man except those who are ordained unto this condemnation."
Raphael, you know of the existence of these dark locations now between the galaxies, but you do not know where these are located. You also don't know of the terrible sufferings that these evil ones have brought upon themselves by their own choices. This suffering is only revealed to those who are made partaker thereof.
You may think that the prison orb is a place of darkness, temporarily holding evil spirits. You might also feel that the bottomless pit is also a place of complete darkness.

178H15-178H20: "He spoke: 'Raphael, I have been appearing to my sons and daughters for millions of eternities. These, my choice children from previous eternities, all entered into their endless state of happiness in eternal felicity and joy. They are now couple Gods in eternity, bearing their own children in a forever state that never ends.
As one eternity comes and ends, so another follows. Your Heavenly Mother and I never tire of the joy in seeing our children grow and progress, and finding the great satisfaction and joy we live each day. Our happiness becomes deeper and more meaningful when we promote each one of our children along the path that we know will ultimately bring them a fulness of joy. This process is the core of our eternal happiness, for it continues and grows, and never ends!
We witness others of our children who receive a kingdom of glory in the terrestrial and telestial realms. They also become as happy as they were willing to be, and we find joy in their salvation and enjoyment. We only want them to be as happy as they choose to be by their own choices.
Those that don't bring us joy are those who reject our great gifts, and turn away from all choices that would bring them a level of happiness. These are Lucifer and his die hard followers who will not receive a kingdom of glory. We save all except them, for "they shall go away into everlasting punishment, which is endless punishment, to reign with the devil and his angels in eternity, where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched, which is their torment.
And the end thereof, neither the place thereof, nor their torment, no man knows.
...Wherefore, the end, the width, the height, the depth, and the misery thereof, they understand not, neither any man except those who are ordained into this condemnation." (D&C 76:44,45,48).
These are all alone, singly without others, forever, throughout all future time.
In all of the choices of our children in each eternity, we encourage, entice, suggest, and enlighten their minds and hearts, but never force in any way any of our children in any of their choices. Each one needs to act in the liberty and freedom of conscience that we have given them. They either choose eternal life, some level of salvation, or endless misery reserved for the devils. We clearly give them the consequence of their choices, but they themselves choose.'"

50 And again we bear record, for we saw and heard, and this is the testimony of the gospel of Christ concerning them who shall come forth in the resurrection of the just
51 They are they who received the testimony of Jesus, and believed on his name and were baptized after the manner of his burial, being buried in the water in his name, and this according to the commandment which he has given
52 That by keeping the commandments they might be washed and cleansed from all their sins, and receive the Holy Spirit by the laying on of the hands of him who is ordained and sealed unto this power;
53 And who overcome by faith, and are sealed by the Holy Spirit of promise, which the Father sheds forth upon all those who are just and true.
54 They are they who are the church of the Firstborn.
55 They are they into whose hands the Father has given all things
56 They are they who are priests and kings, who have received of his fulness, and of his glory;
57 And are priests of the Most High, after the order of Melchizedek, which was after the order of Enoch, which was after the order of the Only Begotten Son.
58 Wherefore, as it is written, they are gods, even the sons of God
59 Wherefore, all things are theirs, whether life or death, or things present, or things to come, all are theirs and they are Christs, and Christ is Gods.
60 And they shall overcome all things.
61 Wherefore, let no man glory in man, but rather let him glory in God, who shall subdue all enemies under his feet.
62 These shall dwell in the presence of God and his Christ forever and ever.
63 These are they whom he shall bring with him, when he shall come in the clouds of heaven to reign on the earth over his people.
64 These are they who shall have part in the first resurrection.
65 These are they who shall come forth in the resurrection of the just.
66 These are they who are come unto Mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly place, the holiest of all.
67 These are they who have come to an innumerable company of angels, to the general assembly and church of Enoch, and of the Firstborn.
68 These are they whose names are written in heaven, where God and Christ are the judge of all.
69 These are they who are just men made perfect through Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, who wrought out this perfect atonement through the shedding of his own blood.
70 These are they whose bodies are celestial, whose glory is that of the sun, even the glory of God, the highest of all, whose glory the sun of the firmament is written of as being typical.
35D9-35D11: "Q- I understand that we angels are to administer and bless the elect of God. What about the vast numbers of those who are not elect? Do we spend our efforts in protecting, healing and blessing them as well? A- From Heavenly Father:
'Our elect children, whom I have chosen with your Heavenly Mother, are heirs of the celestial kingdom, and will be brought to the New Jerusalem and admitted into the church of the Firstborn. These will live with us, and be crowned in our kingdom, as spoken in the scriptures (see D&C 76:50-70).
Those who are not elect, are still our children, but have not, and will not repent and choose us. (see D&C 29:17-'And it shall come to pass, because of the wickedness of the world, that I will take vengeance upon the wicked, for they will not repent; for the cup of mine indignation is full; for behold, my blood shall not cleanse them if they hear me not.') Their commitment to follow our direction and promptings is not sufficient to change their lives. Most of these will ultimately receive a kingdom of glory, after the final judgment. However, worlds without end, they will not receive what they could have received-a place with us in our kingdom of glory.
We will occasionally inspire one of our angels to administer to these who are not elect, in protecting, healing or helping direct their lives. However, the great majority of the effort and work of the angels will be focused on the elect of God, our chosen children, who will ultimately make their way fully back to us, their Heavenly Parents, through our Son, Jesus Christ.'"
86C6-86C8: "Heavenly Mother spoke again as she extended her left arm in front of her:
'Raphael, below us is our glorious celestial orb! Those other smaller bright worlds to our left and right are exalted celestial earths. These are each from a previous eternity. Our children who are exalted to a celestial glory have their original inheritances from us on these worlds. They have all also created their own galaxies in the immensity of space where they continue to create and increase their domains. They are exquisitely happy in the great work they do, each a loving couple sealed together for eternity. These are Gods with the same powers and glory like your Heavenly Father and I. They have received all that we have and are joint heirs of celestial glory and increase!
Their glory is described in D&C 76:50-70
Heavenly Mother then let go of my hand and faced me. She placed both of her hands on my shoulders and looked me in my eyes.
She spoke again:
'My son, every one of our beloved children may choose to become like your Heavenly Father and I. Each needs to choose what level of glory they are willing to receive. Those who are faithful and obedient to our promptings and seek , by their actions to live our gospel in their lives, will be proven and eventually be elected into our Church of the Firstborn. They then progress until they receive all the blessings and inheritance of our Firstborn, even all that we have, to their celestial glory and exaltation forever!'"

58 Wherefore, as it is written, they are gods, even the sons of God
59 Wherefore, all things are theirs, whether life or death, or things present, or things to come, all are theirs and they are Christs, and Christ is Gods.
60 And they shall overcome all things.
87D7-87D10, from Heavenly Mother: "Raphael, you have also wondered if the word "elect" refers to being elected into the Church of the Firstborn by Jesus Christ. You are correct in this thought. Those who are the elect of God have been or will become elected by Jesus Christ, the Great Redeemer, into the Church of the Firstborn. Once these elect are received into our celestial church by you and Oriphiel, our holy archangels, they then become members of this church and fellow citizens of the saints:
D&C 76:66-68
"These are they who are come unto Mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly place, the holiest of all.
These are they who have come to an innumerable company of angels to the general assembly and church of Enoch, and of the Firstborn.
These are they whose names are written in heaven, where God and Christ are the judge of all."
This heavenly place is the New Jerusalem, where our celestial temple is located. These choice elect sons and daughters have their names written in the Book of Life by Oriphiel, our holy angel, immediately after you receive them into our Church of the Firstborn by the ordinance of the waters of separation. They are then numbered with all of our faithful and obedient children, and are destined to become gods, even as we are:
D&C 76:58-60
"Wherefore, as it is written, they are gods, even the sons (and daughters) of God--
Wherefore, all things are theirs, whether life or death, or things present, or things to come, all are theirs and they are Christ's, and Christ is God's.
And they shall overcome all things."'"
167G13-167G21: "Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, below us is your own earth, in a future day when it is a celestial planet, a place for our righteous elect. Your exalted earth is the perfect home for each of our elect and exalted children who live on her surface. She is in her perfection, a home for our righteous!
We then travelled over some treetops and came upon a community center of some sort. I saw people below us dressed in white, and mingling together. We then came among them, and stood next to them. They came up to us one after another, and greeted Heavenly Father and me, and were so loving and interested. They each were full of light, and wore a gold crown on their foreheads that I saw momentarily. They were mostly greeting us as couples, and I knew these were my exalted brothers and sisters, even couple Gods themselves, who had recently been exalted to their thrones, and lived on the exalted earth in its glorified state.
This scene and experience was so amazing, and filled me with such a desire to remain with them! The environment was truly heavenly.
Heavenly Father turned and spoke to me: 'Raphael, these are a few of my exalted children from your own eternity. They have been redeemed and exalted and are couple Gods. All things are theirs, for they have overcome all things.
D&C 76 : 58-60-
"Wherefore, as it is written, they are gods, even the sons (and daughters) of God
Wherefore, all things are theirs, whether life or death, or things present, or things to come, all are theirs and they are Christ's, and Christ is God's.
And they shall overcome all things." (words in parentheses given by Heavenly Father).
Raphael, my son, I have shown you this glorious vision to encourage you, and to show you the end of your salvation, for you will also be among these gods. Your inheritance will be here, for you and your beloved wife to enjoy and in which to live. This vision represents the end goal of all our faithful - to become even as your Heavenly Mother and I are. Such is the destiny of all our elect now living on the earth!
We are now orchestrating the greatest rescue effort of all our current eternity, in saving these elect, and bringing them into our millennial world. We have called you and millions of our celestial and terrestrial servants, to help us fulfill our great work.
Even now, all things are yours, even as you have seen in this vision of the exalted, for your Heavenly Mother and I will extend to you and our other called servants all our powers and resources to fulfill our great rescue work. It is by our Godly power that our elect will be saved and preserved. Be encouraged and faithful, for all things are at your disposal according to our will.'
I thanked my Heavenly Father for bringing me here, and for showing me the grandeur of the celestial earth, in a future day, and of her glorious inhabitants, even of the elect."
185I7-185I15, from Heavenly Mother: "'She appeared across the stream, a little elevated above the ground. She was full of light and great glory. I felt her light and intense love flow into me She spoke: 'Raphael, you are correct that your Heavenly Father and I have agreed to refine our servants, and our celestial elect, by the fire of affliction and the furnace of experience that will bring them to a state of oneness with us, their Father and Mother. We will refine and try them.
These will be our third part of our elect who attain our celestial glory, even as we have revealed to you in the past, during the great millennial day when the earth all becomes a terrestrial sphere (see your post 178C4-178C17). Of this third, they will be chosen by Jesus Christ to enter into our celestial temple at the New Jerusalem to be received into our celestial Church of the Firstborn. They will not die, but will be resurrected to a celestial glory upon their completion of their mortal journey. Those elect who do not obtain this level of oneness with us will die when they have completed their mortal estate.
Zachariah, our prophet, spoke of this separation in the millennium of our celestial elect from the rest of the terrestrial then living on the earth:
Zachariah 13:8-9
"And it shall come to pass, that in all the land (all on the terrestrial earth in the great millennial day), saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein (these are those who will be chosen and will enter the Church of the Firstborn).
And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God." (words in parentheses from Heavenly Mother).
Raphael, you are now being tried and refined as gold and silver. You are doing well in your progress and growth. When you become fully refined, thereby becoming one with us, then "all things (will be yours), whether life or death, or things present, or things to come, all are (yours) and (you) are Christ's, and Christ is God's. And (you) shall overcome all things, (and become one with us, your Gods)" (D&C 76:59-60, words added by Heavenly Mother).
When in this state of oneness with us, whatever we direct or command, then you and our sons or daughters, will act and do, even by our power and authority. We will act through you, our servants, and do our great work on the earth and in heaven. This is where you and our celestial elect are heading, and is our plan for you, our elect sons and daughters!'
I felt Heavenly Mother's light and clarity streaming through me in constant power and enlightenment as she spoke! I felt a great amount of peace and expansion of my mind also. I knew this was my witness from God that her words were true and sure.
In this state I felt I could do "all things through Christ which strengthens me" (Phillipians 4:13). I truly felt one with her! Oh, how I seek to keep her constantly by my side, so I can be continually connected with her, Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ! I so desire to be their celestial servant, to be one with God.
My prayer abruptly ended, and I found myself writing all of this down in my personal journal. I felt so good and happy that I am on the path to become one with God!"

Doctrine & Covenants 76:63
63 These are they whom he shall bring with him, when he shall come in the clouds of heaven to reign on the earth over his people.
172C5-172C10: "Heavenly Father then spoke: 'Raphael, you are correct that the 144,000 will gather all of the elect who will come to the New Jerusalem where will be the Church of the Firstborn. These will come out of all nations on the earth.
Many of the Jews will also be numbered among our elect, and many will be gathered to modern-day Israel. They will see a great war and calamity, but our Son Jesus Christ will deliver them when the Mount of Olives will cleave in twain by a large earthquake in that area (D&C 45: 48). This will be the day of their deliverance by Jesus Christ.
Others of the elect who are scattered upon the face of the earth will be gathered one by one by the 144,000 servants who will go forth from the New Jerusalem. They will bring as many as will come to that great city, even to the terrestrial earth in that area. They too will be purified and made clean in the blood of Jesus Christ, for he will cleanse them and accept them into this city of peace and safety. They will be escorted there by a member of the 144,000 who will be given power to travel with them through the portal of that member of the 144,000 in the terrestrial realms of the earth (see your post 139E33).
The rescue effort of the 144,000 will be great! We will work together with our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, to inspire them where to find our elect. These elect will be in all situations, and will eagerly hear the words of our 144,000 servants who will physically come among them. They will speak their language, and persuade them by our Spirit to come with them to an area of peace and safety, to our New Jerusalem and Church of the Firstborn. Our elect will recognize our voice of the Spirit that accompanies their words of encouragement and truth. After agreeing to come, they will leave all behind and come to the gates of the New Jerusalem where they will be accepted and received into our Zion, the pure in heart. They will then become part of the citizenry of our pure and holy people and land.
When all of the elect are safely gathered, all who will come, then Jesus Christ will come in the clouds of heaven. The prophecies concerning his coming will then be fulfilled. The wicked in the world will be burned at his presence, and the elect will be lifted up in the clouds of heaven with Jesus (see D&C 76: 63). This will be the day that the entire earth will transform to a terrestrial world, and the millennium will begin. Jesus Christ will descend with his elect to a new earth and reign as their king for a thousand years.
Raphael, the 144,000 have a vital role in the gathering process. They will be inspired where to find our elect and to bring them from among the wicked in their telestial world, to our place of gathering.'
I thanked my Father for his revelation on the 144,000. I thanked him and my Heavenly Mother for coming. I knew I could visit with them here throughout my mortal day in constant prayer."

Doctrine & Covenants 76:66-67
66 These are they who are come unto Mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly place, the holiest of all.
67 These are they who have come to an innumerable company of angels, to the general assembly and church of Enoch, and of the Firstborn.
184A13-184A20, from Heavenly Father: "He immediately spoke to me: 'Raphael, tonight you looked at paintings of the angel Raphael through the centuries. You wondered about what you saw, but couldn't remember any of your angel activity since we gave you assignments from the beginning of man's mortal experience on earth. This is how we have designed it. However, in a future day, even during the millennial era, the memory of your activity on the earth will be restored. You will also have a merged mind which will restore your premortal memory. Because of this memory, you will recognize those faithful who come to our New Jerusalem temple from your earlier acquaintance with them, either in your premortal lives together, or your interaction with them on assignment from us, your Gods, during their mortality. These experiences will bring you lots of joy and a deep satisfaction.''
All of our holy mortal angels and mortal celestial servants will also have similar experiences. This will be a joyous experience for all!
We purposefully don't share about our children and their detailed experiences from other eternities with those of this eternity. However, you and the angels will become very familiar with all of the faithful who come into the Church of the Firstborn, regardless of when they lived on earth. We allow such intermingling between all our faithful children of this current and same eternity during the millennium. This is one of the features of the celestial realm that will exist in the temple and the temple grounds of the New Jerusalem. There will be continual communications with the elect from all ages of this earth in this millennial celestial realm. Whether mortals, translated or resurrected, or from whenever these were born on the earth, all will be as one group in our temple and temple grounds.
Our premortal children will generally not be present here until they are born on earth. Then, once they have been accepted by Jesus Christ as candidates to the Church of the Firstborn, they may be received into this same fellowship.
This is the meaning of D&C 76:66-67:
"These are they who are come unto Mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly place, the holiest of all.
These are they who have come to an innumerable company of angels, celestial beings, and to the general assembly and church of Enoch, and of the Firstborn." (scripture verse added by Heavenly Father)
These will all be able to intermingle, for they shall move forward in their progression towards becoming couple gods in eternity. They will all be equal in status, all joint heirs with our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ. They will all receive of our fulness in eternity.'
I thanked my Heavenly Father to have opened up my mind with his words tonight. I felt we would be frequent companions of many of the faithful and celestial elect, who would progress with us on the same path to our eternal glory. I felt very happy with this prospect and thought.
My prayer ended in the maple tree grove. I felt great peace and hope."
197F1-197F6: "The very little that I read in conservative news sources, the more I realize that our mortal world is in great turmoil and heading for war. However, I feel comforted to have been updated last night on the happenings on my trek to Zion. It is really a spiritual awakening time for those who come to Zion, who leave all behind, and who seek humbly to follow the Spirit.
I came this morning to the font room in the New Jerusalem temple. I immediately joined one of the tours in disguise. I knew that my Heavenly Parents had done this recently. As I was listening to our male tour guide, my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother came by my side, also in disguise! I knew them immediately, for they looked at me with their distinctive eternity eyes.
Heavenly Father whispered to my mind the following: 'Raphael, we have come on many of these tours recently and have rejoiced in the feelings of those gathered here! These, our beloved celestial elect children, are so grateful that the time has arrived when the glory of the New Jerusalem is established on the earth. This event signals to them how close they are to be brought into the Church of the Firstborn. They will then be able to continue to mingle together in communion with the other celestial elect. Prior to this time, there has not been a distinct group of such like-minded people, all gathered together. Even those who are resurrected have been living in small groups, and not been members of a larger congregation of those destined to become gods in eternity. Our many faithful sons and daughters will soon enter into our celestial church, and have communion frequently with each other:
D&C 107:19
"To have the privilege of receiving the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, to have the heavens opened unto them, to commune with the general assembly and church of the Firstborn, and to enjoy the communion and presence of God the Father, and Jesus the mediator of the new covenant."
D&C 76:66-68
"These are they who are come unto Mount Zion (this is the New Jerusalem, even here among these tours and future assemblies), and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly place, the holiest of all.
These are they who have come to an innumerable company of angels (and celestial servants), to the general assembly (like we are gathered in even now on this tour) and church of Enoch, and of the Firstborn (these are our celestial elect among us, who have been chosen and elected to be members of the Church of the Firstborn. They will officially become members when you administer the waters of separation for each of them in this very room, R).
These are they whose names are written in heaven (this is when our archangel Oriphiel records their premortal name in the Lambs Book of Life. (He pointed over to the book on Oriphiel's table)), where God and Christ are the judge of all." (words in parentheses from Heavenly Father).'
My Heavenly Father stopped speaking and looked at the tour guide, listening intently. He was holding Heavenly Mother's hand, and they were both smiling."
152J6, from Heavenly Mother: "Q2. "D&C 76:67-'These are they who have come to an innumerable company of angels, to the general assembly and church of Enoch, and of the Firstborn.' I know this is talking about the elect, but what does it mean the church of Enoch? Was this just worded wrong? It would make more sense if it read 'to the general assembly of Enoch and the Church of the Firstborn.?' "
A2. 'The church of Enoch represented at the time of their translation, and of Enoch's group coming onto celestial orb, the group of the elect who had lived on the earth and continued to remain in the flesh in their translated state. One of the names of this very large group of our elect children was the "Church of Enoch". The general assembly of our chosen elect would include the Church of Enoch, and ultimately all of our elect from all ages of time who would have come to the earth. This entire group will also one day enter into the Church of the Firstborn, and progress through by steps into their own exaltation, even to become as your Heavenly Father and I are. The wording in D&C 76:67 could have been more clear, but it still gives the overall message that those are the elect of God who will become even as we are.'"
______________________________
Doctrine & Covenants 76:69
69 These are they who are just men made perfect through Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, who wrought out this perfect atonement through the shedding of his own blood.
99B2-99B7, from Heavenly Mother: "Raphael, we knew from the beginning that each of the Refugees of Lucifer would wander away from us, their Heavenly Parents, for a long time. This experience of being rescued and redeemed by our Beloved Son, after rebelling against him for so long, would be remarkable! We are so relieved that they have all deeply repented and have fully changed their ways. They have been taught to not allow thoughts of their wicked past to dwell in their minds. They are still healing from the trauma caused by being subjugated by Lucifer. They have been filled with our light and love and have willingly embraced all truth from us. We love them for so fully accepting our ways!
Their dramatic change is a strong witness that any of our sons and daughters may also repent and change and come unto our Beloved Son, the great Redeemer, and be healed and cleansed. We give our children weaknesses that they may be humble and want to change their ways, regardless how small.
Your wife had asked you last Sunday about this scripture:
Matthew 5:48
"Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect."
We don't expect any perfection in our children until they are finally ordained as couple Gods, exalted in the celestial kingdom. The path to perfection is different for each of our children. We have wide acceptance of each one, hoping they will each change and gradually repent and be fully redeemed and cleansed. There are none in mortality that are perfect, or ever hope to be. It is to be realized at the very end of their path to exaltation.
You have also pondered about the increase of change and perfection once we have chosen our child to be an elect son or daughter. They will have been chosen by Jesus Christ, all because of their diligence in serving God in selfless ways and in accepting the gentle Christ like life. Once selected, you and Oriphiel then will bring them into our Church of the Firstborn. They are not yet perfect, but are well on the path to perfection. They are determined to follow us and to receive of our truths into their lives. They too must each conform to our gospel and route out any unworthy behaviors, practices, beliefs and fully repent and change. They increase greatly at that point in their acceptance of all that we show them. They are valiant and become perfect:
D&C 76:69
(Heavenly Mother's comments added in parentheses)
"These are they who are just men (and women) made perfect through Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, who wrought out this perfect atonement through the shedding of his own blood."
I want to offer each of my children the great hope of changing, one step at a time until well into their future when they will become perfected! This is a very beautiful and fulfilling journey of change. It is gradual, but permanent. It is also initiated fully by our elect son or daughter, fully by his or her own choice. We never coerce any of our children, but allow each to change and grow, as they desire, at their own pace. We have ample time for them to choose to fully change.'
I thanked my loving Heavenly Mother. She was smiling, so full of brightness and hope! She then started to diminish from before me until she was gone. Her presence seemed to remain in my heart. I closed my morning prayer and started a new day."

Doctrine & Covenants 76:71
71 And again, we saw the terrestrial world, and behold and lo, these are they who are of the terrestrial, whose glory differs from that of the church of the Firstborn who have received the fulness of the Father, even as that of the moon differs from the sun in the firmament.
Fri, Jun 14, 2024
Differences in the terrestrial mortal people and realms (note- rating is how much these differences apply to my property and situation now, in May 2024, next one year away in May 2025. I derived this in prayer and energy testing):
Now 2/10 next 5/10 1. Vibrancy of the fruit and vegetables grown in the terrestrial realm- up to 10x more than the telestial.
Now 3/10 next 5/10 2. Glory as the moon compared to glory of the stars.
Now 2/10 next 4/10 3. Weeds, insects, and varmints may have a different mission and behavior than in the telestial world. When cast out of the garden of Eden, Adam was told he would be cursed with thorns, thistles and noxious weeds, to afflict and torment man (in the telestial world). I wonder how these same plants were in the terrestrial environment?
Now 2/10 next 4/10 4. The soil will be more vibrant than in the telestial world. Terrestrial soil, watered by terrestrial living water, would bring forth abundantly.
Now 0/10 next 0/10 5. Only terrestrial people are allowed in the terrestrial world, not telestial people. It is a place of refuge, peace and safety.
Now 10/10 next 10/10 6. Satan and his hosts are not allowed in the terrestrial realm, but only allowed in the telestial. They cannot enter nor tempt people in the terrestrial realm.
Now 3/10 next 6/10 7. There is a higher amount of light poured down upon the terrestrial than the telestial. I believe the light of the sun (light of Christ) will be 7x that of the telestial realm. Isaiah 30:26-
"Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the Lord bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound."
Now 5/10 next 8/10 8. The 144,000 work in the terrestrial realm, not dwelling in the telestial where the wicked and many of the elect still live. They use their portals to teleport the elect into the terrestrial world, even to the New Jerusalem. They come to rest in our property.
Now 7/10 next 7/10 9. The terrestrial may have terrestrial living water, with greater attributes than normal terrestrial or telestial water. For example, cleaning of clothes and the body is so different with living terrestrial water.
Now 10/10 next 9/10 10. The telestial don't recognize that there is any difference between them and the terrestrial mortals.
203E14-203E16: "I came to Heavenly Mother's lower gardens, near the glass table. I was next to a bed of beautiful garden vegetables. The colors were vibrant and the plants were very healthy. I was admiring these, comparing some to similar vegetables in my own garden, when Heavenly Mother quietly came next to me. She was standing in the path to my right. She spoke:
'Raphael, my vegetables growing here in this celestial realm are very much more vibrant and full of nutrition than those in your telestial world. The same effort in planting and nurturing vegetables in a higher realm will yield so much higher quality of produce than in lower realms. When you come with your wife and son to the New Jerusalem terrestrial realm, you will be surprised at the great increase in food quality there.
We have blessed you with an abundant garden this summer. Your harvest is very great, and you continue laying it away for your children who will remain. You also eat something from your garden in every meal during these days of harvest. When you come to the New Jerusalem, you will be eating of the abundance of the land of Zion from our island paradise. There will be no need at first to have your own garden, for all the inhabitants share in the abundant food in common. When you have your own house built in time, then you may plant your own garden."
72M5-72M10, from Heavenly Mother: "I grow in my [celestial] lower gardens many vegetables and fruits of all kinds. These all provide the vital life sources of nutrients needed for our children to function in their physical mortal bodies. The herbs that grow in the same lower gardens and in my other remedy beds elsewhere, are to help correct the cause of disease and malfunctioning in the body. However, my foods I grow are to be taken on a regular daily basis to provide these nutrients you convert in your body for your energy of proper living and well being.
There are also on your telestial mortal earth an abundance of these same plants that provide the basic foods for our children. These are cultivated and grow in abundance. In their original source, that grows in my lower gardens and elsewhere in my celestial world, these foods provide everything our children may need in your mortal world, except a few nutrients found in meats and other sources. This is as we have designed it for our telestial world. The basis of the food for our children, however, is almost exclusively plant-based.
In the terrestrial earth, the full food sources will be all plant-based. The plants will become more vibrant and capable to feed our children and all the animals too in the terrestrial world. Our plants we have created love to provide themselves for your food. You will be able to continue to eat other non-meat items like eggs from birds and honey from bees. However, the slaughter of our animals for your food will no longer be necessary for the full function and needs of your elevated and terrestrial bodies.
We have been displeased with conspiring men in your day who genetically modify the plants that we have created. These are mostly touted as to keep devouring insects away or to have a longer shelf life or some other reason. However, all of these modified plants have been changed for gain and the ultimate control of the food sources on the earth, perpetuated by evil men and women and their sinister organizations. They have used deceptive means to foist these changes on mankind. The conspiring organizations also use poisons to produce larger and bigger crops. However, these fertilizers and poisons go into the plants and foods and then are ingested by our mostly unknowing children. This causes a host of more sickness and poor health. These chemical poisons are also not pleasing to us, your Gods.
We will cut short the changing of our foods we have abundantly placed on the earth before these evil men fulfill their full plans of control and subjugation of our mortal children on earth. We will stop their plans before they control too much to correct.
In the millennial day, all of the genetically modified foods and all of the poisons and chemical fertilizers used to produce bigger and better crops (in their own minds) will end. Soon into the millennium all of these will be eliminated and our original food sources will again thrive on Mother Earth, in their virgin, abundant, terrestrial state. There will be more than ample whole foods from our plants to fully feed the burgeoning population that will come upon the earth. Our children in that day will have vibrant health and long productive lives, mostly free from disease and any crippling effects, like are so rampant in your days. Hospitals won't exist, but the sick and afflicted will be cared for in loving homes from skilled healers and compassionate family members and friends. Oh, it will be a wonderful day!'"
124B3-124B4, from Heavenly Mother: "You have many greens from your garden that are also wonderful to increase your physical well-being. When you eat the spring herbs from your garden and greenhouse, and those you have planted around your yard, your body also is greatly boosted. Eating fresh herbs that cleans and strengthen has been so helpful, and has been the main reason why you have had no grass allergies like before when you weed-wacked the tall grasses on your property today. You were amazed that you didn't even have a sniffle during the two hours you cut down your tall grasses and weeds. You regularly eat freshly picked parsley, rosemary, oregano, and comfrey. Add also fresh cilantro and other greens you grow and this will help protect your immunity and cleanse your physical body. Eat them fresh without washing them so that you receive the helpful microbes abundant on your organic plants.
D&C 89:10-11-"And again, verily I say unto you, all wholesome herbs God hath ordained for the constitution, nature and use of man-
Every herb in the season thereof, and every fruit in the season thereof; all these to be used with prudence and thanksgiving."'"
123A1-123A6: "I just watched a movie with my wife for our anniversary named "Secret Ingredients". We both were motivated by this movie-all about the severe health problems of our society due to GMO foods, glyphosate (Roundup) and other poisons that have entered our food supply, and other issues. It is truly a scary time for us and our children and grandchildren!
We are going to make a more concerted effort to buy organic and non-GMO food and particularly to eat as much as we can from our garden, greenhouse and orchard.
Tonight I came to the orchard of trees on the Northern slopes of Lake Beautiful. The trees were at various stages of blooming and fruiting it seemed as I walked up from the shore of the gentle slope. I felt so comfortable and at peace here!
I knelt among the trees, looking south, back on the lake. The celestial sun was still in the sky, and I was very clear and perceptive it seemed. I prayed that one or both of my Heavenly Parents would come to me tonight.
Heavenly Mother then appeared next to my right side, next to an apple tree with little growing apples just after the flowering state! She was radiant and seemed very happy, for she was smiling broadly. I felt her love and acceptance of me.
Heavenly Mother then spoke to me: 'Raphael, your health will take a leap of improvement when you try to eat cleaner foods that are not modified by genetic engineering and are organically grown. Your best food source will still be from your own garden, greenhouse and orchard.
We have our holy angels reversing much of the great pollutions found in your food sources, on your lands and in the water, However, even with our big efforts, people will continue to become ill at alarming rates, and slowly poisoned. Without my intense light of the Holy Ghost transmitted through my angels to the earth, there would be far more pollution and rapid onset of excessive health issues and death. These are dark days of having pollutions on your planet, in the telestial sphere!"
123G4-123G17: "Heavenly Mother appeared to me again, a little above the desert sand! I felt clearly her intense light pass into and through me! Every part of my body was enlightened and invigorated! She was smiling and seemed pleased with me.
She spoke: 'Raphael, there are many plagues and sicknesses that we allow to come forth upon the earth to cleanse the inhabitants of the wicked. However, the specific desolating sickness is one that will affect all people in your land because of the poisonous food and water sources:
D&C 45:31-32 "And there shall be men standing in that generation, that shall not pass until they shall see an overflowing scourge, for a desolating scourge shall cover the land.
But my disciples shall stand in holy places, and shall not be moved, but among the wicked, men shall lift up their voices and curse God and die."
Also Isaiah 28:15 "Because ye have said, we have made a covenant with death, and with hell are at agreement, when the overflowing scourge shall pass through it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehoods have we hid ourselves."
The overflowing scourge is referring to the multiple increased sicknesses and chronic conditions caused directly by GMO foods, high glyphosate, and other poisoning caused from chemicals used to fertilize, kill insects and other pests, and preserve the foods for long shelf life once they are processed and placed in stores and restaurants for people to consume. Every part of the physical body may be affected to cause all manner of severe health issues. People are just now becoming aware of these issues through scientific studies that prove these things. Only by eating clean foods that are organically grown and free from genetic engineering (GMO) will they be able to fully reverse the severe poisoning in their own bodies. Fasting may also help cleanse the body of poisons. Drinking pure water and watching carefully what they consume will be the only way to avoid the overflowing scourge that is sweeping across your own land and the world. There have been powerful companies with conspiring men and women, who have colluded with approving government sources to allow this great evil to secretly come upon the people. Without my light coming forth upon the earth to counter these great pollutions, none of their flesh would be saved:
JS Matthew 1:20-"And except these days should be shortened, there should none of their flesh be saved, but for the elect's sake, according to the covenant, those days shall be shortened."
Raphael, the great deception also lies in the fact that people cannot tell by their observation what foods are poisoned or not. They need to be tested in laboratories for specific poison levels to find out which is safe to consume. Your safest choice is with GMO free and organic food sources, and those like your own organic garden that you know how it was grown. It is not enough for you to be infused with my intense light of the Holy Ghost to physically remove the sources of pollution, Our people need to take full control of their own health and well-being, or suffer more and more desolating sicknesses and severe health issues.'
I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her strong and clear message! I feel determined now to not be so lax in what I eat, but to realize that eating is either for my health or sickness, depending on whether it is poisoned in some way or not. I need to take this very seriously! I know too that pure healthy foods are more expensive to buy, and that making the decision to eat non-GMO and organic will be difficult in family gatherings and that no or few restaurants are possible. Traveling will also be more difficult. I feel so blessed that my wife and I are agreed upon this! It also takes much more food preparation time to prepare foods that are healthy for us, rather than processed or prepared foods that now are quick and easy! However, I can buckle down and do hard things.
In the evening-I take a number of natural supplements to help me in my physical health. Some of these are more important than others. I rank these from 1.0 (least important) to 10 (most important) when I muscle test myself. Today I pulled my remedy pills for another week. The highest remedy was a 5.5 out of 10 and lowest was a 1.0. I energy tested organic food bought at the grocery store and this as a 2.5/10, but organic plus non-GMO was a 3.0/10. I only have three remedies I take that rank higher and four other remedies that rank higher and four other remedies that rank the same at 3.0/10. Eating from my own garden in the spring (greens) was also a 3.0/10. I wish I could take all the remedies I have from a food source of herbs instead of pills and supplements in capsules.
I think our earth has not nearly as vibrant soil and nutrients nowadays as in days before chemical fertilizers and pesticides. I have even tried to test my garden soil that I augment each fall with organic ingredients. I measure it in vitality as compared to the soil in which Adam and Eve planted their first garden, in their new telestial world. If this virgin telestial soil at the beginning of the earth's temporal existence was a 10, then I energy tested that my soil in my garden beds was a 3.0! Said another way, the vitality of my soil is less than as vibrant and healthy as the soil at the beginning of the earth. In all the state of Utah, the best soil would rank a 5/10, or half as vibrant and healthy. (I don't know how accurate this is, but it seems to be about right, based on my intuition and energy testing).
Tonight I came to Heavenly Mother's upper garden. I knelt next to one of her garden beds. I asked for my Heavenly Father or Heavenly Mother to come in answer to my prayers. Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother came walking down the path between two rows of garden beds! They were holding hands and looking happy to be before me.
Heavenly Mother spoke: 'Raphael, some of my remedy beds are on either side of your Father and I. These plants are the highest form of remedies we have created to treat the cause of disease or health needs in our children on the earth. These remedies are all celestial plants that are at their highest vitality. These are remedies that you, Raphael, will be able to transplant to the garden beds on the earth in the celestial sphere of the earth in the New Jerusalem temple square area. These will then be able to be propagated into the terrestrial earth among all lands. The soil will be vibrant and the living water will feed these plants.
You energy tested your soil to be 3.0/10 as compared to the soil on the virgin earth, which is accurate [this was May 22, 2019]. Were this soil in the millennium, fed by living water and cultivated and supplemented by organic ingredients, it would measure a 20/10, or double what the virgin earth was like in the beginning. This will help people to have vibrant health and vitality!
Raphael, you now live in the most depressed soil vitality that has or will ever exist on your earth! This is surely a day when darkness covers the earth, and pollutions are upon her surface in all forms! We will provide an escape from the desolating sickness that will soon cover the land. People need to look for wholesome food and plant remedy sources that will help them become healthier and have vitality. I will continue to pour out my intense light upon the earth to turn the ever-growing tide of pollutions that are on her surface."
May 29, 2024: Yesterday I was listening to post 123 above, and Heavenly Mother had said the following: "You energy tested your soil to be 3.0/10 as compared to the soil on the [telestial] virgin earth, which is accurate. Were this soil in the millennium, fed by living water and cultivated and supplemented by organic ingredients, it would measure a 20/10, or double what the [telestial] virgin earth was like in the beginning. This will help people to have vibrant health and vitality!"
I decided to energy test again, now that my land is just recently changed to a terrestrial earth, with terrestrial living water flowing into the garden, orchards and berries (see my post dated April 16, 2024 in Genesis 49:26):
My garden beds: the average soil there compared to the soil on the telestial virgin earth soil: If the telestial virgin earth soil is a 10/10, my average garden soil is an 11/10!
Here's another way to test my now terrestrial soil: If the garden of Eden terrestrial soil (in its suspended state) is a 10/10, my average garden soil is a 2.5/10! I tested if my soil would improve over the next few years: in one year it would likely be 3.5/10, in two years 5/10, in three years 7/10, in eight years 10/10, or the same as the terrestrial garden of Eden soil. I suspect I won't get any better than this! I know this is a lot of speculation, for my accuracy is likely lacking being so far in advance. However, the trend is to improve a little each year.
My conclusions: 1. My soil has remarkably changed from being a telestial garden to a terrestrial garden. This transition was a little over a month ago on April 21, 2024 (see my post It was five years ago when last tested and confirmed by Heavenly Mother to be a 3.0/10. Now it is 11/10. I feel that this is due to the God's transition from telestial to terrestrial state of my property, and not so much what I have done to amend the soil this past year.
2. There is still lots of improvement to be made, which I believe will take some transition time. Once we are in the millennium, I believe that the average soil in my garden will be as vibrant as the soil was in the terrestrial garden of Eden. I then tested that it would be a similar to that virgin terrestrial garden of Eden soil. The trend is to be improved year by year. I am also thinking that this requires me to use good amendment practices available to me to enhance the soil. This is probably not too accurate since it is in the future, but it gives me an idea of where the soil quality is heading.
3. The vibrancy of the fruits and vegetables from the garden and other growing areas on my property is tied directly to the quality of the soil.
See my notes in Genesis 49:26 more about the vibrancy of the terrestrial land I live on and my health issues.
141A1-141A14: "Evening-I have read over the last few days and weeks about being elevated to a terrestrial glory to be freed from Satan's grasp. I wonder if there is much difference in one being a telestial person to being a terrestrial person, aside from no longer being subject to the devil, and to receive more light and mental and spiritual clarity? Is there a great difference also between a terrestrial person (a "millennial", like Spencer called these in his book "Visions of Glory") and a translated terrestrial person? I hope I receive clarification on this.
I came to the desert oasis tonight, next to the bench facing the water. I asked for my Heavenly Father to come, for I felt he would be coming. I was kneeling, waiting for his appearance. He then appeared, sitting on the bench to my right! He motioned for me to stand and sit next to him.
I did so, and after being seated, he put his right arm on my leg and spoke:
'Raphael, the primary reason we are elevating you and our elect to a terrestrial state is for you to be freed from Satan's power, to be able to endure the hardships that will be facing the world, and to fill you with more light and love to minister our love to those around you.
D&C 76:71 speaks of the qualifications of the terrestrial. These are honorable men and women in their life, and merit a final terrestrial glory as the moon is compared to the stars (the telestial) or the sun (celestial).
As far as the changes in the physical bodies for our terrestrial mortal children however, there is very little change that one could detect except a few things, including increased light and love that emanates from their being. This increase of light will cause greater clarity in all areas of perception, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. The physical mortal body will become more robust and strong, better able to withstand the vicissitudes of life and rigors of physical labor and physical endurance. Pain in the body will become minimal and sickness will be infrequent.
Most people who are of the telestial realm will not be able to perceive a difference in those who are terrestrial.
However, most who are terrestrial will know, in time by their increased spiritual perceptions, those who are also terrestrial like themselves. They will similarly be able to tell those who are translated to a terrestrial glory, like those who are of the 144,000.
The translated terrestrial and the millennial terrestrial (or those who are changed to a terrestrial state without a terrestrial translation) have similar physical bodies. However, the translated are not subject to death, but the seeds of death are delayed until they are to be resurrected.
They will die at the appointed hour and then be immediately resurrected to a celestial glory. This is the state of the three disciples of Jesus that he changed to a terrestrial translated state as recorded in 3 Nephi 28:4-10.
Those who are translated to a terrestrial glory will "not have pain while (they) dwell in the flesh, neither sorrow save it be for the sins of the world" (3 Nephi 28:9). They will also be blessed to be able to go to the terrestrial world of the spirit dead, and the terrestrial realms on the earth. In this latter realm, they may instantly travel using their portals. This will be part of their mission as the 144,000 to "bring as many as will come to the Church of the Firstborn." (D&C 77:11). They will be given power to protect, teach and transport their converts to safe places and to the city of the New Jerusalem.
Those who are millennial terrestrial mortals will generally not have these same capabilities of travel that the translated will possess in their physical bodies.
Our celestial translated angels and servants work in the celestial realms on the earth, in their spirit, resurrected and replicated physical translated states. They are not seen by the telestial or terrestrial mortals. If they are dwelling in mortality, they are either in a telestial or terrestrial mortal state. They act and fulfill their mission in our celestial realms, but while on earth are normal and non-suspecting individuals. You and our mortal angels are regular people in your communities on earth, with normal families and circumstances, but are very actively working for your Heavenly Mother and I in our celestial realms on the earth.
We have servants and our elect who are in many states of glory and translation. This might all seem confusing, but all is part of our overall scheme and plan for these last days' events.'
I thanked my Heavenly Father to have clarified so many things to me! I admitted that it had been confusing to others and to me. I said I would serve him faithfully in whatever position he and Heavenly Mother might call me to serve. I then closed my prayer."
133D25-133D33, from Heavenly Mother: "She extended her hand, and said: 'Raphael, come walk with me around my garden!'
I was thrilled to be again in her presence! We walked holding hands along her garden beds, and she spoke again-'Raphael, you live on earth in a very dark day that increases with evil year by year. There are more evil people, who are full of sin and wickedness, than there has ever been during the time of the flood, or in Abraham's day, or just before the destruction of the Nephites. There are more led astray in your day by Satan than ever before.
However, there are more of the valiant and elect on the earth than during those previous days of great wickedness also. These are our elect! They will have tribulations like the wicked, but will seek us and follow our guidance. These are the ones we will spare when the wicked this time are burned with fire at the second coming of our Son, Jesus Christ. From these righteous ones will come the inhabitants of the millennial world.'
I asked her if there would be others spared that are of a terrestrial nature, who are the honorable men and women on the earth now, but who are blinded by the craftiness of men. (see D&C 76:75). She spoke:
'Raphael, there will be some of the terrestrial who have lived without knowledge of this gospel, who would have received it had they been adequately taught (see D&C 137:7-9). There will also be little children that will be spared, who have not yet reached the age of accountability. However, for those who profess to be righteous, but have rejected us during their life, and would not keep our promptings, they will not survive the day. They will have the demise of the foolish five virgins, spoken of by Jesus Christ:
Matthew 25:10-13 "And while they (the five foolish virgins) went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage, and the door was shut.
Afterward came also the other virgins, saying; Lord, Lord, open to us.
But he answered and said, verily I say unto you, I know you not.
Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of Man cometh."
Also D&C 45:56-59: "And at that day, when I shall come in my glory, shall the parable be fulfilled which I spake concerning the ten virgins.
For they that are wise and have received the truth, and have taken the Holy Spirit for their guide, and have not been deceived-verily I say unto you, they shall not be hewn down and cast into the fire, but shall abide the day. (The foolish virgins shall be cast into the fire at that day).
And the earth shall be given unto them for an inheritance; and they shall multiply and wax strong, and their children shall grow up without sin unto salvation.
For the Lord shall be in their midst, and his glory shall be upon them, and he will be their king and their lawgiver." (parenthesis added by Heavenly Mother).
I then asked of her if there would be other churches established besides the Church of Christ and the Church of the Firstborn in that millennial day?
She replied-'Raphael, at first there will only be the Church of Christ and the Church of the Firstborn, for all will be converted to the Lord and embrace our gospel! At the end of the millennium, when Satan and his hosts are loosed for a little season, false churches will again arise, like happened to the Nephites once they stopped having all things in common. (see 4 Nephi 1:20-43). It will get so bad that the righteous will be gathered to the city of the New Jerusalem, and the wicked will all be outside the walls of the holy city.'
We had walked up and down several rows of Heavenly Mother's beautiful remedy beds, full of beautiful flowers, herbs, bushes and trees. She turned to me and spoke:
'Raphael, we allow hard times to come upon our many children on the earth in order to test and try them. We want to see who will follow our promptings of the Holy Spirit and my Holy Ghost. These are the ones who will be the primary leaders in the great millennial Zion that will be established for nearly 1,000 years! It is during times of trouble that our children really decide who they will follow.'"

Doctrine & Covenants 76:76-80
76 These are they who receive of his glory, but not of his fulness.
77 These are they who receive of the presence of the Son, but not of the fulness of the Father.
78 Wherefore, they are bodies terrestrial, and not bodies celestial, and differ in glory as the moon differs from the sun.
79 These are they who are not valiant in the testimony of Jesus; wherefore, they obtain not the crown over the kingdom of our God.
80 And now this is the end of the vision which we saw of the terrestrial, that the Lord commanded us to write while we were yet in the Spirit.
45D1-45D5: "I prayed more last night about the status of churches and religious groups, and the requirement for their being allowed to come into the millennium. What I perceived was that all those who lived an honorable life, a terrestrial life, would be permitted to enter into this phase of the earth when it is transformed into a terrestrial sphere. The general requirements are found in D&C 76:71-80:
"And again, we saw the terrestrial world, and behold and lo, these are they who are of the terrestrial, whose glory differs from that of the church of the Firstborn who have received the fulness of the Father, even as that of the moon differs from the sun in the firmament.
Behold, these are they who died without law;
And also they who are the spirits of men kept in prison, whom the Son visited, and preached the gospel unto them, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh;
Who received not the testimony of Jesus in the flesh, but afterwards received it.
These are they who are honorable men of the earth, who were blinded by the craftiness of men.
These are they who receive of his glory, but not of his fulness.
These are they who receive of the presence of the Son, but not of the fulness of the Father.
Wherefore, they are bodies terrestrial, and not bodies celestial, and differ in glory as the moon differs from the sun.
These are they who are not valiant in the testimony of Jesus; wherefore, they obtain not the crown over the kingdom of our God.
And now this is the end of the vision which we saw of the terrestrial, that the Lord commanded us to write while we were yet in the Spirit."
These have received of the Son of God, but not of the Father. That is what I perceived yesterday in the Presbyterian Church-the talk was all about Christ, and nothing much about the Father.
The LDS people, who know no more than to follow the prophet blindly, are telestial. This is described in an article that M.A. sent to me, and is described in D&C 76 and 1 Corinthians 3:20-21, when it talks of Paul, Apollos and Cephas. These telestial people do not really think much on their own, but follow their leaders down to hell, as Brigham Young taught. Among these are some who are the elect, who start to question their leaders and ask of God, as we are all commanded to do. This is the only hope for the LDS members who are in the church today-we must go against the culture and doctrine, and ask of God to be led in our lives. We need to come unto him, and believe in personal revelation over what we are being told and preached to do over the pulpit at church or at conference. Mere sheep who follow, and do not question nor think, are telestial in nature. This is not pleasing to God.
In short, if someone is terrestrial in nature, or if groups or congregations are terrestrial, they will be allowed into the millennial day of rest-a terrestrial state. If they are telestial they will not be allowed in. If they are celestial, they will be brought into the Church of the Firstborn by the Father and the Mother who will direct them."

79 These are they who are not valiant in the testimony of Jesus; wherefore, they obtain not the crown over the kingdom of our God.
98F2-98F14: "Heavenly Mother spoke:
'Raphael, today I wish to speak my thoughts to your mind and heart about the timing when our children are born into mortality and the paradise of God. We send our beloved children to earth at a given time so that they may live during their allotted time on earth. We have planned their advent from the beginning. It is no accident that they come into mortality when they do. We also have a time of death for each of our children, just as reliable and timed as the time of their birth. This too is planned from the beginning. We have designed the bulk of their mortal experience between birth and death.
Their mortal life tests continue into this world of the spirits for most of our children. If our child has received a valid baptism ordinance in the Church of Christ, and they have lived a righteous life, they are received into the paradise of God in the spirit world. Their mortal testing time is ended when they go into this paradise of God.
They keep progressing but they are freed from the influence of Satan or his minions. The paradise of God is in the terrestrial sphere around the earth. For those who die without a valid baptism ordinance, they remain in a telestial environment in the world of the spirits. They continue having a mortal probation, even while they are in this state. They are also subject to Satan and his minions.
If they received by proxy a valid baptism ordinance by someone living on earth, and are truly trying to live in righteous ways, they are then received into the paradise of God. They then are also freed from the presence of the adversary and their mortal probation ends.
When our children are accepted into the world of the paradise of God in the spirit world, there is a judgment we make on their progress. We accept them into this terrestrial environment, having judged them to qualify for acceptance into this temporary state. Their final destination in eternity may be either a terrestrial or celestial glory. They will still continue to serve us and progress in their knowledge and obedience to God. In so doing, they may one day be accepted by Jesus Christ into the celestial Church of the Firstborn. They then become the elect of God, destined to receive celestial glory and all things of God.
There are others in the paradise of God that will ultimately receive a terrestrial glory. Although they are freed from Satan by being accepted into the paradise of God in the world of the spirits, they are not valiant in the testimony of Jesus.
They are described in D&C 76:79:
"These are they who are not valiant in the testimony of Jesus; wherefore, they obtain not the crown over the kingdom of our God."
Our Beloved Son visits those in the paradise of God frequently. All those in that location see him when he comes. To them, this terrestrial state is like the coming millennial state on the earth, which is also a terrestrial glory. Those who are terrestrial children, who are in the paradise of God, receive the presence of Jesus Christ, but not yet of the fulness of the celestial glory:
D&C 76:77
"These are they who receive of the presence of the Son, but not of the fulness of the Father."
You wonder why I have said their mortal probation is ended once they have entered into the paradise of God? This is the reason: they have lived a life in mortality and in the world of the spirits where we have partially judged them of their works. They have merited a position of progress to enter into the paradise of God. They, however, continue to progress and grow more faithful in the paradise of God to the level they wish to receive. Their mortal probation is ended, for they have been delivered from Satan and may rest as they desire. They have also finished the experience where they were separated from God, living in a mortal telestial state and required to act in faith, not being in the presence of God.
Now that they are in the paradise of God, their conscious and unconscious minds merge again and they are restored to the spiritual abilities and state they had attained to in their premortal state. In their premortal state, we, their Heavenly Parents, were present. Now, in the paradise of God, we do not normally come but have sent our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, to come. We may come occasionally to those in the paradise of God on an individual basis. In those cases, our child is elevated into the celestial realms to enjoy our presence. This is similar to you living on earth and being quickened or elevated to a celestial state in order to commune with us directly as you do.
Our beloved children who live in the paradise of God are now preparing for their resurrection. They will be resurrected at the coming of Jesus Christ in glory to the earth.'
I then asked my Heavenly Mother if all in the paradise of God would be resurrected at the second coming of Jesus Christ, both the terrestrial and celestial? Here is the reply that came to me, sent from her thoughts to my unconscious mind and then written by me as she spoke:
'Raphael, we have determined from the beginning that all of the celestial shall resurrect first, before the telestial or terrestrial will resurrect. This is why the celestial all resurrect in the first resurrection. Those in the paradise of God who are terrestrial will not resurrect at the second coming of Jesus Christ. They will need to wait until the end of the millennium, even until you are resurrected, for you will be resurrected last to a celestial glory at the end of the millennium. Once all are resurrected to this celestial glory then the terrestrial will be judged and resurrected and then the telestial.
All of the resurrections will be done in order of the valiancy of those being resurrected. Our faithful elect will all receive their glorious resurrected bodies prior to all the remainder of our children.
Those who are destined to be received into the Church of the Firstborn will come to you in their physical bodies, either as a mortal, as a translated mortal, or as a resurrected celestial person. There will be no spirits that are without their physical body who come, for the waters of separation ordinance is meant to be performed in the flesh.'
I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her great revelation this morning! I feel so privileged to have received these great truths from her today!"
178C4-178C9: "Heavenly Father then stepped directly out of his highest celestial realm, parting the veil and standing before me! He was smiling and full of light and acceptance.
He spoke: 'Raphael, we allow our beloved children who make a covenant of obedience and sacrifice when entering into Zion, to continue to choose what they wish to do. Agency is always a continual blessing in their lives. Some who live in Zion may choose to not be valiant or press forward to eternal life and exaltation. Others will press forward in the energy of their soul to the lofty goal and objective of fully repenting of their sins, becoming forgiven and redeemed by Jesus Christ, and coming into the Church of the Firstborn. Once their names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life, they will eventually be exalted and become a God.
There will be those in the terrestrial world who are not admitted into the Church of the Firstborn. These will not have qualified by their actions and efforts to be accepted by Jesus Christ, the keeper of the gate. Most of these who don't qualify will be good people but not valiant in the gospel of Jesus Christ.
These are those who have received of the presence of the Son, but not the fullness of the Father. (D&C 76:77). They will be living in the terrestrial mortal earth, and Jesus Christ will reign personally upon the earth. They may at times see him, and will be subject to his reign. However, they do not make the extra effort to come unto him with a broken heart and contrite spirit, pressing forth with faith and diligence to be fully accepted and proven by him, to warrant him to bring them into the Church of the Firstborn. They will live and die terrestrial individuals.
Raphael, S wrote to you this morning about the terrestrial elect and the celestial elect. When we choose our elect to come to Zion, it is not a guarantee that they will be exalted. They need to "press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: ye shall have eternal life." (2 Nephi 31:20).
I would prefer not using the word "terrestrial elect", but just elect to describe those who are brought into the terrestrial mortal earth in the millennium. The elect are chosen at the beginning of the millennium as those who will be allowed to come into the terrestrial mortal world and Zion. This is not an approval that they will also be received into the Church of the Firstborn where they will be guaranteed a place in the highest heaven. They still need to show forth great effort in pursuing eternal life by their godly actions and daily living. It is only after they pursue this, and press forward in great diligence in their lives, that Jesus Christ will have proven them worthy of entry into his celestial church, the Church of the Firstborn. Once Oriphiel records their name in the Lamb's Book of Life, they will be promised eternal life and exaltation.'
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his clarifying words this morning. This cleared up a misconception in my own mind that I hadn't really thought out in detail."

Doctrine & Covenants 76:78-80
78 Wherefore, they are bodies terrestrial, and not bodies celestial, and differ in glory as the moon differs from the sun.
79 These are they who are not valiant in the testimony of Jesus; wherefore, they obtain not the crown over the kingdom of our God.
80 And now this is the end of the vision which we saw of the terrestrial, that the Lord commanded us to write while we were yet in the Spirit.
86B10-86B16, from Heavenly Father: "'Raphael, today you have worked outside in the heat of the summer day. It reached over 100 degrees again in your area. The heat of the sun on your body is intense during these hot spells.
You have noticed our celestial sun. It is in our celestial sky and moves according to our desire, and not in regular orbits like the rotation of the earth and its journey around your sun. When we created the earth upon which you dwell, we placed it into your existing solar system. This has been used before on multiple earths that have occupied the same space and orbit of your own earth. Each earth was the place for a mortal experience for our myriad eternities that have come and gone out of mortal existence.
Our celestial orb was created by your Heavenly Mother and I and has also served many eternities. Once a given eternity is completed, this celestial orb is vacated again by our children, these having been assigned various eternal kingdoms of glory within our own galaxy.
Let us now go visit one of these terrestrial kingdoms of glory from the last eternity R!' I arose from my knees and accompanied my Heavenly Father. We then descended upon a very beautiful terrestrial orb of some kind! I was next to my Heavenly Father on my left side. We came to a beautiful forest and lake area and then stood upon the ground on the shore.
Heavenly Father spoke again:
'Raphael, this is a terrestrial world that has been resurrected to this glory. Those living plants and creatures are also resurrected to a terrestrial state. The inhabitants of this world are the sons and daughters of your Heavenly Mother and I who were rewarded with a terrestrial glory in eternity. There is also room enough on this orb for some of those of your current eternity who will merit this degree of salvation from us, their Gods, as our gift to them.'
I then thought of the scripture in D&C 76 that speaks of the terrestrial glory:
D&C 76:71-80-
"And again, we saw the terrestrial world, and behold and lo, these are they who are of the terrestrial, whose glory differs from that of the church of the Firstborn who have received the fulness of the Father, even as that of the moon differs from the sun in the firmament.
Behold, these are they who died without law;
And also they who are the spirits of men kept in prison, whom the Son visited, and preached the gospel unto them, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh;
Who received not the testimony of Jesus in the flesh, but afterwards received it.
These are they who are honorable men of the earth, who were blinded by the craftiness of men.
These are they who receive of his glory, but not of his fulness.
These are they who receive of the presence of the Son, but not of the fulness of the Father.
Wherefore, they are bodies terrestrial, and not bodies celestial, and differ in glory as the moon differs from the sun.
These are they who are not valiant in the testimony of Jesus; wherefore, they obtain not the crown over the kingdom of our God.
And now this is the end of the vision which we saw of the terrestrial, that the Lord commanded us to write while we were yet in the Spirit."
We then traveled across the lake to a beautiful and peaceful community of people. They were happy and lived in tranquility and enjoyment together. They did things together on their world that brought them the highest level of happiness they could possibly attain.
These couldn't see Heavenly Father or me by his side. We watched them talking and laughing, being apparently happy to a degree. Their world was very beautiful and so lovely! I perceived that there was no sun nor moon, but continual day, for those who lived there needed no sleep, nor food. They all lived alone, singly. They didn't have the capacity to procreate and have children. They were happy though, and very much enjoyed their eternal reward in eternity. They had no ambition to progress, for they were content.
Heavenly Father spoke to me:
'Raphael, these who live here in this terrestrial world are eternally in the happiest state they were willing to receive. They are so pleased that your Heavenly Mother and I rewarded them a place in eternity where they are with others who also are comfortable with their same status. They cannot improve to a higher level of progression. We will now go back to the meandering stream in the celestial world.'
I immediately could tell the much greater grandeur and glory of this celestial world. I feel so happy and comfortable being here with my Heavenly Father and my Heavenly Mother for eternity! I so love the opportunity one day to be like my Heavenly Father and my wife to be like Heavenly Mother. I am so grateful for the plan of salvation!
Heavenly Father said we would visit the telestial world sometime in the near future too. He then said that my time with him had ended. He said he loved me and that I would be able to live eternally in a celestial world like this one! I thanked him. I then saw him start to fade until he was gone. I knelt again and thanked him for this great experience tonight in the terrestrial world!"

Doctrine & Covenants 76:79
179D2-179D12: "I then heard a voice from above me and looked up. There was a bright light in the clouds above, and I knew God wanted me to come up in the clouds also. I then intended to go there and kneel before my Father, for I felt it was he whom I would come before.
The next instant I was kneeling before my Father in Heaven in the clouds! I saw no buildings or structures around, but only my Father before me. He was smiling and seemed happy that I came before him.
I felt loved by him, and fully exposed but not in any negative way. I knew my Heavenly Father saw everything about me, and there was no way to hide any thought or emotion. I felt so happy to be accepted just as I was, complete with all my weaknesses and foibles.
He spoke to me: 'Raphael, my son, your Heavenly Mother, Jesus Christ our Beloved Son, and I view every one of our children as they really are, have been, and will be. We know the truth of men and women, and of all things in this way. (see D&C 93:24). As you and any of our children keep our commandments, you too will gradually receive all "truth and light, until (you are) glorified in truth and knoweth all things. (D&C 93:28) If you, by your own choice, choose light over darkness, we will fill you with our light and truth even until you receive all truth and it dwells in you. Those who do this will soon come into our presence, even as you are before me, and we will give them more and more of our light and truth, even to a fullness when they know all things and have received all truth from us.
This is a journey in which we gradually reveal and lead our faithful and obedient children. They need to seek us out and pursue such a course, for we will not press this upon them. Some of our children may be content to receive our truths to a certain level, and then be content without pursuing further light and truth.
This was taught by Jesus Christ while on earth in his parable of the sower. (see Luke 8:5-15) Those that have good ground receive the seed of truth and it grows and bares fruit, even to an hundredfold. These are those whom our Son judges and purifies, having seen that they are wanting and willing to receive and obey all things that we may give them. He will love and accept them, and bring them into the presence of their Heavenly Mother and me. We will continue to reveal to them our truths, even until they receive all in a fullness. They will ultimately receive all that we have and become also Gods, even as we are.
Not all of our elect who come into Zion will receive and pursue all the truth that we are willing and ready to give to them. They each need to press forward and live the truths we teach them, and be willing, of their own free will and choice, to continue to receive and grow by applying our truths in their lives. They must maintain their diligence and receptivity, even until the end when they receive all things from us.
Even in the millennium, when Satan is bound and cannot tempt our children in mortality, there will be many who live good lives and are very wholesome, but are not valiant in their pursuit of all truth. These are honorable, but receive not a fullness, even when it lies in a straight path before them. They need to pursue light and truth on their own in order to receive of a fullness. Because they lose their motivation along the way, "they obtain not the crown over the kingdom of our God." (D&C 76:79)
We, who are your Gods, see the end from the beginning, even in the lives of each of our children. We know from the beginning who of our children will pursue a course towards their final exaltation. However, we cannot do this for them, but they need to continue in diligence, even until they do all we command them until the end.'
I said to my Father that it was my greatest desire and intention to pursue the path to eternal life without fainting or getting sidetracked along the way. I said I would persist in being obedient to his gentle promptings, and seek to continue to receive more and more light and truth.
He said he and Heavenly Mother would continue to lead me and every one of the celestial elect, as fast as they would receive, even to the end when their eternal salvation was rewarded to them."

Doctrine & Covenants 76:85
85 These are they who shall not be redeemed from the devil until the last resurrection, until the Lord, even Christ the Lamb, shall have finished his work.
Thu, May 9, 2024
The telestial who currently live in the telestial world are subject to Satan and his evil hosts. On the other hand, those who are elevated to a terrestrial level are no longer subject to Satan in this world. At the beginning of the millennial era, Raphael will remove Lucifer and his hosts to the bottomless pit (Revelation 20:1-3). The terrestrial elect will be privileged to move into the millennial terrestrial world, and no longer be subject to Satan around them for a thousand years.
There are subtle differences between the telestial and the terrestrial. Those who are terrestrial are chosen by the Father to be his elect who meet Christ in the clouds of heaven and are ushered into the millennial era. Those who are telestial are burned at the second coming of Jesus Christ, and are ushered into the telestial spirit world of the dead.
The terrestrial people are currently in the telestial mortal world, first given the shields of the Father, and after a few years elevated to a terrestrial level. They often cannot perceive these changes, for they are subtle and spiritually discerned. Satan then cannot tempt them, for they are out of his grasp (see the excerpt from post 139 below). They then seek for a better world, and are perceptive to the higher things of God including his promptings and revelations to their souls.
The differences in the mortal telestial earth and the mortal terrestrial earth are also difficult at first to discern. The land, plants and animals are elevated, and subtlety changed. The land changes and yields more easily to the stewards placed over it. The thorns and thistle diminish and shift into compliance and a different, more tame weed. They may then be used with wisdom for the use and health of man.
The plant food grown in the terrestrial earth becomes more vibrant, tasty, and nourishing to the terrestrial person than telestial food grown in the same way. The soil is elevated to a higher level, more perfectly matched to the needs of plants, microbes and the environment.
Living terrestrial water is of a significantly higher quality than telestial water. It looks the same, but its properties are much different. It is like gentle liquid fertilizer to the terrestrial plants that grow there. It enlivens the soul of man and helps him heal, lessening the need for remedies and strengthening his physical body and mind. This elevates his perspective, making a happier outlook on life, with a quicker step to his gait.
Overall, the terrestrial mortal world will become more beautiful in a short time than the telestial. There will be a glow of peace and happiness that pervades this world. In time, the terrestrial mortal world may become like the beautiful garden of Eden. Although the garden of Eden was in a state of suspension (terrestrial, but no death or decay), the terrestrial millennial world may become just as beautiful and glorious.
139E5-139E24: "Heavenly Father appeared before me from a cloud that suddenly came! He stepped out of the cloud, shining in majesty before me.
He spoke: 'Raphael, I have inspired you to come here to the high mountaintop, facing the eastern, sky which represents looking into a future day.
Just before you prayed to me this morning, you received and read an email from S about a trout dropping near him from the air above. We gave him this experience and our interpretation as he recorded it in his journal. We would like you to insert this in your journal.'
Here is the email received:
"R,
2 months ago, I went to a plant nursery in the mountains near my home to look for fruit trees and nut trees to plant around my house. As I was walking through the nursery looking at trees, I heard a loud thud. I looked around to see what it was, and within a few feet of me there was a large trout that had fallen from the sky. I looked up and there was a clear sky. Upon closer inspection of the fish in front of me, there were talon marks in the fish where an eagle had caught it from a nearby lake a few miles away. I thought it was a very unique experience when it happened but hadn't given it much thought since then.
This morning in prayer, I was taught more about that experience.
10-9-19
In prayer, I called upon my Heavenly Parents. I waited and the image of an eagle at the very top of a tall tree came to my mind. I next saw my Heavenly Parents in the air above the tree, and they were looking down on this eagle. I was directed to come to Their side, and I was next standing beside Them in the air. I noticed the strength and awareness of this eagle. To my mind came the image of the fish that fell from the sky from the clutches of an eagle and landed next to my feet when I was at a plant nursery in Pinetop, AZ several months ago. My Heavenly Parents communed to my mind as if the message was coming from both of Them, "This event that you witnessed of the fish falling from the eagle is symbolic of what will occur in these last days. The eagle represents Satan and our elect who are scattered among all the nations throughout the world are the fish in his powerful grasp. We will cause Our elect, the fish, to be freed from his grasp. The fish fell at your feet. Our elect will fall from the grasp of Satan as nations crumble, and they will come to the feet of Our servants who will be directed by Us to carry or direct these elect to places of safety." The words of Isaiah 49: 24-25 came to my mind, " Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered? But thus saith the Lord, even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children." They continued to speak to me, "This prophesy of Isaiah will soon come to pass as We gather Our elect from the four quarters of the earth. We will save Our elect children from Satan's grasp among all the nations of the world in a miraculous way as Our children turn to Us and exercise their faith in this coming day soon at hand." Their message to me was completed. Next, We began to travel through the air with great speed and then this scene closed before my view and I ended my prayer.
I felt to share this with you twice today, so here it is. Maybe you can let me know your thoughts,
Warmly, S"
'Raphael, I wish now to show you how our elect will be delivered from Satan's grasp in the near future! Come with me into the eastern skies.' I took my Father's hand and together we stepped into the cloud from where he had stepped to me moments earlier.
My Father spoke again: 'Raphael, you will see different scenes across your earth in the near future when Satan's grasp will be entirely loosened from the chosen elect of God. We are causing Lucifer and his hosts to do this because we are elevating the realm around our elect from a telestial sphere to a terrestrial sphere. This change in the local realm will cause Lucifer or any of his evil minions to quickly loosen their grasp on these, our choice children, in their mortal journey. They will not realize that they are in a higher realm at first, but will soon realize Satan's influence has fully departed.
The hosts of hell are able to abide a telestial glory, or realm. Therefore, they may tempt and influence those who live and exist in this realm. However, Satan is not permitted to dwell in the terrestrial realm, for this is contrary to the law of the terrestrial glory. Therefore, by simply elevating the realm around our elect, we may cause Satan to loosen his powers from these choice individuals. They may then be freed to discover their true desires, to hear our voice, and to follow our directions to gather to Zion. This process is figuratively like the eagle dropping the trout from his talons, and the fish landing next to S that he wrote you about.
You have wondered if this is similar to the shields of the Father that we have explained to you previously, that have come upon the elect (see post 69 "The Shields of the Father"). I have caused these shields to come from me to those chosen elects, as the first part of their protection from Satan. It has been about 1 2/3 years since these shields have come upon the faithful. The changing of them from a telestial state to a terrestrial state will be the second and final state of loosening of Satan's grasp in their lives. They will feel then completely free to pursue our words and inspirations we give to them to gather to Zion, the pure in heart.
Our elect who receive both the shields of the Father and this change to a terrestrial glory, will still be able to view all that is happening in the telestial deteriorating world around them. However, they themselves will grow and progress much faster now that they will be elevated to a terrestrial environment around their body and spirit. They will be able, in this state, to move into the millennium without any restriction, for they will already be terrestrial.
I have chosen the elect of God myself and will have the holy angels of God assist me in changing their state from a telestial to a terrestrial state of glory.
Satan will be powerless in influencing them in the flesh, for he will not be able to come close to them. These newly changed terrestrial individuals will still live in the telestial world, but they will themselves be freed from Satan's grasp entirely.
Come now, let us go down to your telestial earth and see these changes in the elect of God that I have chosen!'
Heavenly Father and I then were immediately in several consecutive scenes, in an unseen state. I saw first a woman and her child in their family. These two had been changed to a terrestrial state and did not know it. They became more sensitive to their inner voice, the voice of the Spirit, that God was giving to them.
I saw glimpses of their future lives as they continued living in mortality with their loved ones. They chose to follow God and yet couldn't understand how their other family members were mediocre in their choices, or chose activities or actions that were worldly, or inspired by the adversary. They experienced heartache like I have felt in my own life, by others they loved who chose self centered or evil paths. They came to realize that each one chooses whom they will obey, either God or Satan, or their own natural man self.
I then saw another scene where a couple were both of the elect and elevated to a terrestrial state. I saw their grown children choose ways that were inspired by Satan. These children seemed to allow Satan to subjugate them and control their destiny, for they gave over their agency to the adversary. I saw the parents mourn for their children.
I saw a third scene where the entire family of parents and three children were all changed to a terrestrial state. I saw their family watch as the world, their friends, and most of their extended family, chose to follow the ways of the world.
I saw a fourth scene where an unmarried man was changed, but none of his friends. He slowly departed from their ways, and chose to follow God and the abundant promptings he now was receiving. I saw he was much more able to hear God's voice to his unconscious mind.
I saw too that the 144,000 were also all terrestrial beings who had been entirely freed from Satan's grasp. These ministered eventually to all the elect and brought them to safe places of refuge and to Zion. I saw that in Zion was to be gathered these pure in heart who wanted to follow God and not man.
Heavenly Father then faced me after we had witnessed these scenes in the future.
He spoke: 'Raphael, I have chosen the elect from all of the rest of the world based on how much they have wanted to follow me and have chosen me over the temptations of this world. There is a unique difference in their willingness that I can easily determine with my godly hindsight into their lives up to this time and my godly foresight into their future desires and choices. These are the same individuals that are represented by the wheat in my field that I will gather in safe garners.
They are scattered all over the earth, among all people, nations, cultures and races. We will give to these I have chosen our care and direction, for they will hear the voice of the Spirit and will keep our commandments.'
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his beautiful and very remarkable instruction and visions this morning! I thanked him for revealing all of this to me. I said I loved him and would follow him always. He smiled and the scene vanished."

Doctrine & Covenants 76:94
94 They who dwell in his presence are the church of the Firstborn; and they see as they are seen, and know as they are known, having received of his fulness and of his grace;
198I0-198I19, from Heavenly Father: "There will be cities in the terrestrial world where our children will live that will not be cities of Zion. Those who live in these cities will be good freedom loving men, women and children. They will flourish and grow, but may not be members of our Church of Christ if they choose not to do so. They are described in D&C 76: 75 as honorable men (and women), who receive of the presence of the Son, but not of the fulness of the Father (see D&C 76: 77). "They are not valiant in the testimony of Jesus; wherefore, they obtain not the crown over the kingdom of our God (D&C 76: 79).
Those who live in these non Zion cities are not allowed to enter into the New Jerusalem city, or other cities of Zion upon the terrestrial earth until they individually conform to the higher entry requirements of these cities. The other Zion cities are terrestrial locations, but have a higher level of unity and belief. They have all things common among them, even according to the law of consecration and stewardship. They are all members of the Church of Christ. They have all made a covenant to live these (the) higher laws of Zion that our righteous live. These include giving freely of their substance to those in need or want, and living in great love and harmony with their neighbors. They fully live their baptismal covenants as members of the Church of Christ, found in the Book of Mormon.
Mosiah 18: 8-10
"And it came to pass that he said unto them: Behold, here are the waters of Mormon (for thus were they called) and now, as ye are desirous to come into the fold of God, and to be called his people, and are willing to bear one another's burdens, that they may be light;
Yea, and are willing to mourn with those that mourn; yea, and comfort those that stand in need of comfort, and to stand as witnesses of God at all times and in all things, and in all places that ye may be in, even until death, that ye may be redeemed of God, and be numbered with those of the first resurrection, that ye may have eternal life--
Now I say unto you, if this be the desire of your hearts, what have you against being baptized in the name of the Lord, as a witness before him that ye have entered into a covenant with him, that ye will serve him and keep his commandments, that he may pour out his Spirit more abundantly upon you?"
Raphael, those who live in Zion, and come within her walls and gates, have the great desire to live this covenant of Zion, even as the people of Alma did. The scripture says when they "heard these words, they clapped their hands for joy, and exclaimed: this is the desire of our hearts." (Mosiah 18:11).
The desires of their hearts include a humble heart, an open mind, and a great willingness to serve and love their fellowman. When our grown children make this covenant of Zion, they are allowed entry into the New Jerusalem and the cities of Zion.
You may wonder why we would not allow the others who haven't made such a covenant access to Zion, even to visit. We have chosen to keep a higher standard for Zion than for the rest of the millennial world, in order to preserve the holiness of Zion and to keep in the minds of the inhabitants of Zion the great importance of their active covenant. This entry restriction in Zion will keep a higher quality of love, safety and peace among all who dwell there. They will have full assurance that all their Zion neighbors also believe and act as they do.
If there are children in Zion that wish to live in non Zion communities, they are free to depart. They will still be required to live the basic laws of the terrestrial kingdom that relate to the free liberty of choice for all, without dominion or compulsion upon any other soul.
When S (Gideon) and the guards evaluate those at Zion's gates who seek entry, they will see them as they are seen, and know them as they are known. They will see eye to eye with them, having this great discernment of God given to them, so that they may allow only the pure in heart entrance to Zion and only the holy covenant keepers within her walls.'
I now understand the great importance of having guards at the entrance of the cities of Zion. I yearn to be part of this covenant people. I want to live in the New Jerusalem.
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his beautiful revelations to me. He smiled upon me, and then departed. I closed my prayer in the name of Christ, the mighty king in Zion."

Doctrine & Covenants 76:98-101
98 And the glory of the telestial is one, even as the glory of the stars is one; for as one star differs from another star in glory, even so differs one from another in glory in the telestial world;
99 For these are they who are of Paul, and of Apollos, and of Cephas.
100 These are they who say they are some of one and some of another, some of Christ and some of John, and some of Moses, and some of Elias, and some of Esaias, and some of Isaiah, and some of Enoch;
101 But received not the gospel, neither the testimony of Jesus, neither the prophets, neither the everlasting covenant.
45C14: "This reminded me of D&C 76:98-101, speaking of those in the telestial world:
"And the glory of the telestial is one, even as the glory of the stars is one; for as one star differs from another star in glory, even so differs one from another in glory in the telestial world;
For these are they who are of Paul, and of Apollos, and of Cephas.
These are they who say they are some of one and some of another, some of Christ and some of John, and some of Moses, and some of Elias, and some of Esaias, and some of Isaiah, and some of Enoch;
But received not the gospel, neither the testimony of Jesus, neither the prophets, neither the everlasting covenant."
At that moment, Heavenly Mother came next to my side, and bore witness to me that these were good people, trying to do what is right in a dark and faltering world. She said:
'Raphael, these people who seek us in prayer, and who have little to guide them, will be accounted as the terrestrial of the earth. They will be admitted into the millennial world, along with their beliefs, for they are the "honorable men and women of the earth, who were blinded by the craftiness of men", who received not the testimony of Jesus in the flesh, but afterwards received it. These are they who are terrestrial. We will allow those like some of the members of this church and congregation, to come into the era of 1000 years of peace and rest. However, for those who have received so much, as the members of the restored LDS Church, we have been provoked to anger. This, our restored church in 1830, will not be allowed into our millennial day of rest! It will be supplanted by the Church of Christ that we will establish again in the earth anew.'
(Note: This comment from Heavenly Mother made me think of this scripture, in D&C 65:2 "The keys of the kingdom of God are committed unto man on the earth, and from thence shall the gospel roll forth unto the ends of the earth, as the stone which is cut out of the mountain without hands shall roll forth, until it has filled the whole earth."
This verse tells us that the gospel shall roll forth, not the church or the kingdom. I have always thought it was the church. However, now I believe that the LDS Church will be fully supplanted by the Church of Christ.)
The meeting lasted only one hour. We were very warmly greeted, shaking hands with practically everyone in the congregation-with their warm smiles and interest. I couldn't help but compare this experience with the multitudes of various ward sacrament meeting experiences that we have had for the past four years in South Utah County. It has been so rare to be even recognized, and talked to, in any of these congregations of the Saints. We come and go like we are invisible. This has become 'normal' for us. It is sad to be treated so coldly in the Lord's church. The comparison of being so warmly received in a non-LDS Church was quite surprising."

Doctrine & Covenants 76:81-89
81 And again, we saw the glory of the telestial, which glory is that of the lesser, even as the glory of the stars differs from that of the glory of the moon in the firmament.
82 These are they who received not the gospel of Christ, neither the testimony of Jesus.
83 These are they who deny not the Holy Spirit.
84 These are they who are thrust down to hell.
85 These are they who shall not be redeemed from the devil until the last resurrection, until the Lord, even Christ the Lamb, shall have finished his work.
86 These are they who receive not of his fulness in the eternal world, but of the Holy Spirit through the ministration of the terrestrial;
87 And the terrestrial through the ministration of the celestial.
88 And also the telestial receive it of the administering of angels who are appointed to minister for them, or who are appointed to be ministering spirits for them; for they shall be heirs of salvation.
89 And thus we saw, in the heavenly vision, the glory of the telestial, which surpasses all understanding;
41B10-41B14: "I then started my prayer this morning, after writing what happened last night. In my prayer this morning, I saw Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother on the bank of her river, just east of the dry fountain of living waters. He was puddly in his eyes with recent tears, as was Heavenly Mother, and they were hugging each other, in support for what they were about to do (I thought). I expressed to them my sadness too, and my sincere condolences for what they have to do in cleansing the wicked.
They didn't speak, but seemed to be trying to control their composure in this anguishing time for them.
I therefore spent a few words in my prayer, and expressed my sympathy and my love to them.
Then it became very dark! I could tell that my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother were still in front of me. However, I couldn't 'see' any part of them! I turned around, and the temple of God still had a faint glow. It was clear outside in the celestial world where I was, but it was very dark. It was as if someone had turned off the lights! The stars were bright and shining in the distance.
I then thought that the stars symbolized the telestial world. This is where the tares of the earth will mostly go in the day of judgment. There was no moon out, only the stars. I was reminded of D&C 76:81-89:
'81 And again, we saw the glory of the telestial, which glory is that of the lesser, even as the glory of the stars differs from that of the glory of the moon in the firmament.
82 These are they who received not the gospel of Christ, neither the testimony of Jesus.
83 These are they who deny not the Holy Spirit.
84 These are they who are thrust down to hell.
85 These are they who shall not be redeemed from the devil until the last resurrection, until the Lord, even Christ the Lamb, shall have finished his work.
86 These are they who receive not of his fulness in the eternal world, but of the Holy Spirit through the ministration of the terrestrial;
87 And the terrestrial through the ministration of the celestial.
88 And also the telestial receive it of the administering of angels who are appointed to minister for them, or who are appointed to be ministering spirits for them; for they shall be heirs of salvation.
89 And thus we saw, in the heavenly vision, the glory of the telestial, which surpasses all understanding;'
These persons who inherit the telestial world, will be thrust down to hell (D&C 76:84), and won't be redeemed to their telestial state of glory until after the day of judgment, until the last resurrection when they are redeemed from the devil (verse 85).
I then stayed there before my Heavenly Parents in prayer, even after I closed my prayer. I stayed to be near them, and to help them through this very difficult time, with whatever I could offer."

Doctrine & Covenants 76:86-88
86 These are they who receive not of his fulness in the eternal world, but of the Holy Spirit through the ministration of the terrestrial;
87 And the terrestrial through the ministration of the celestial.
88 And also the telestial receive it of the administering of angels who are appointed to minister for them, or who are appointed to be ministering spirits for them; for they shall be heirs of salvation.
86F1-86F7: "Heavenly Father came from the temple doors. He walked or floated in the air to a place right in front of me. He was happy and smiling. He asked me to write the words he spoke:
'Raphael, you have seen this week the worlds we created for the telestial, terrestrial and finally celestial inhabitants, our children. We have explained the various glories of these worlds and their inhabitants. You have also seen how our children are rewarded according to their works and desires. These are resurrected, some quickened to a telestial, some to a terrestrial, and some a celestial glory. They each are quickened to the same glory of the worlds that they are assigned.
We revealed to our prophet, Joseph Smith, that the telestial and terrestrial are ministered by servants of the next higher kingdom:
D&C 76:86-88
"These are they who receive not of his fulness in the eternal world, but of the Holy Spirit through the ministration of the terrestrial;
And the terrestrial through the ministration of the celestial.
And also the telestial receive it of the administering of angels who are appointed to minister for them, or who are appointed be ministering spirits for them; for they shall be heirs of salvation."
There are individuals in the terrestrial worlds who are assigned to minister to those in the telestial worlds. These have ability to travel to the telestial world, through the power of the Holy Spirit as described in verse 86. This is not the Holy Ghost, but the Spirit of God, by which all of our actions to those on a lesser order is fulfilled. These who are terrestrial and minister to the telestial, frequently visit these telestial worlds. They do not have the priesthood or the office of a high priestess, for these are reserved for the fulness of my glory in the celestial worlds. Nevertheless, they have authority to administer through the medium of the Holy Spirit to the telestial inhabitants. They insure all is well functioning and in order in these telestial worlds.
The celestial angels, who minister to the terrestrial are those spoken of in D&C 130:6-9.
D&C 130:6-9-
"The angels do not reside on a planet like this earth;
But they reside in the presence of God, on a globe like a sea of glass and fire, where all things for their glory are manifest, past, present, and future, and are continually before the Lord.
The place where God resides is a great Urim and Thummim.
This earth, in its sanctified and immortal state, will be made like unto crystal and will be a Urim and Thummim to the inhabitants who dwell thereon, whereby all things pertaining to an inferior kingdom, or all kingdoms of a lower order, will be manifest to those who dwell on it; and this earth will be Christs."
These celestial angels are not exalted, nor have they received an inheritance of a God, but they dwell in a celestial world, and minister to the Gods who have received a far greater glory.
See D&C 131:1-4-
"In the celestial glory there are three heavens or degrees;
And in order to obtain the highest, a man must enter into this order of the priesthood [meaning the new and everlasting covenant of marriage];
And if he does not, he cannot obtain it.
He may enter into the other, but that is the end of his kingdom; he cannot have an increase."
Some of these celestial angels in eternity also are assigned to minister to those in the terrestrial worlds. These celestial angels direct the order and well being of those who dwell in the terrestrial worlds and also direct those who are terrestrial who minister to the telestial. Thus, each of these lower kingdoms are directed by the celestial. We, who are the Gods, direct the angels, and in turn, through their ministrations, know all that occurs and is happening to those in the terrestrial and telestial worlds. These are still the children of both Heavenly Mother and myself in eternity, but live in lower kingdoms of glory.
For those who have denied us as being their Heavenly Parents, they receive no kingdom of glory. They are single and isolated in eternity, for it would have been better for them not to have been born. (D&C 76:32) These suffer the wrath of God in eternity (D&C 76:33). These are placed in a dark and isolated state, as intelligent entities, never to be visited again by the Gods or others.'
I thanked my Heavenly Father for these additional details about the destinies of his children. I knew my time of instruction had ended. I asked that he be with me all the day long. I then closed my prayer and started my day."

Doctrine & Covenants 76:94
94 They who dwell in his presence are the church of the Firstborn; and they see as they are seen, and know as they are known, having received of his fulness and of his grace;
198I7: "Email from S received on 7-2-2021, entitled eye to eye:
"R,
I read last night your entry from the previous night regarding the watchmen referred to by Isaiah. I went to pray asking for further light and understanding. Here is the record from my journal.
7/1/21 PM
Tonight I read Raphael's entry from last night about the scriptures referring to the watchmen lifting up their voice and seeing eye to eye when the Lord brings forth Zion.
In prayer, I called upon Heavenly Father for I felt he would speak with me tonight. I came to meet him on top of the future wall surrounding the New Jerusalem. Heavenly Father was there, dressed in white robes. He stood in front of me and we looked down towards the ground from the raised wall.
I asked Heavenly Father why there would be walls surrounding Zion if it is in a terrestrial realm and protected from the wicked in the telestial realm.
Heavenly Father spoke, 'There will be many of our children who will live a law consistent with the terrestrial kingdom, but who are not yet prepared for Zion. The inhabitants of Zion live a higher law that pertains to their testimony of Jesus and obedience to higher laws. Joseph Smith recorded that there would be inhabitants on the earth during the millennium that would not join Christ's church, but they would follow the laws of a terrestrial realm. In order for our children to enter the walls of the New Jerusalem, they must live according to our higher laws.'
The phrase "for they shall see eye to eye" in Isaiah 52:8 came to my mind. I asked Heavenly Father what this pertained to or what it meant.
Heavenly Father spoke, 'As a watchman, you shall stand guard at the gate entering into the New Jerusalem. You will look into the eyes of those who will enter. The eyes are the doorway to the soul of men and women. We will bless you with our Godly gift to perceive the faithfulness and readiness of each individual to enter into Zion. Both you and the person being evaluated will know the answer together by the spirit whether they are prepared to enter or not. Some will not be permitted to enter at first, but may enter with time, preparation and a change within their being or soul. Your role, along with all the other watchmen or guards, is symbolic of the person's standing before God. The scripture in D&C 76: 94 is representative of this future interaction they may one day have with us their Gods, "and they see as they are seen, and know as they are known." This interaction for entry into the walls of the New Jerusalem is preparatory in the same way the temple prepares our children for future events.
This is sufficient information for tonight. Record my words and share them in the morning with Raphael.'
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his message and closed my prayer.
After I recorded this prayer, I pondered if all who enter Zion would need to commune with a guard before entry. Heavenly Father spoke to my mind, 'It is needful for each future inhabitant of the New Jerusalem or Zion community to have this interaction with a guard prior to entry.'
I thought of the temple phrase regarding being able to pass by the guards or sentinels and giving them the key words, signs or tokens."

Doctrine & Covenants 76:98-101
98 And the glory of the telestial is one, even as the glory of the stars is one; for as one star differs from another star in glory, even so differs one from another in glory in the telestial world;
99 For these are they who are of Paul, and of Apollos, and of Cephas.
100 These are they who say they are some of one and some of another, some of Christ and some of John, and some of Moses, and some of Elias, and some of Esaias, and some of Isaiah, and some of Enoch;
101 But received not the gospel, neither the testimony of Jesus, neither the prophets, neither the everlasting covenant.
45C14-45C17: "This reminded me of D&C 76:98-101, speaking of those in the telestial world:
"And the glory of the telestial is one, even as the glory of the stars is one; for as one star differs from another star in glory, even so differs one from another in glory in the telestial world;
For these are they who are of Paul, and of Apollos, and of Cephas.
These are they who say they are some of one and some of another, some of Christ and some of John, and some of Moses, and some of Elias, and some of Esaias, and some of Isaiah, and some of Enoch;
But received not the gospel, neither the testimony of Jesus, neither the prophets, neither the everlasting covenant."
At that moment, Heavenly Mother came next to my side, and bore witness to me that these were good people, trying to do what is right in a dark and faltering world. She said:
'Raphael, these people who seek us in prayer, and who have little to guide them, will be accounted as the terrestrial of the earth. They will be admitted into the millennial world, along with their beliefs, for they are the "honorable men and women of the earth, who were blinded by the craftiness of men", who received not the testimony of Jesus in the flesh, but afterwards received it. These are they who are terrestrial. We will allow those like some of the members of this church and congregation, to come into the era of 1000 years of peace and rest. However, for those who have received so much, as the members of the restored LDS Church, we have been provoked to anger. This, our restored church in 1830, will not be allowed into our millennial day of rest! It will be supplanted by the Church of Christ that we will establish again in the earth anew.'
(Note: This comment from Heavenly Mother made me think of this scripture, in D&C 65:2 "The keys of the kingdom of God are committed unto man on the earth, and from thence shall the gospel roll forth unto the ends of the earth, as the stone which is cut out of the mountain without hands shall roll forth, until it has filled the whole earth."
This verse tells us that the gospel shall roll forth, not the church or the kingdom. I have always thought it was the church. However, now I believe that the LDS Church will be fully supplanted by the Church of Christ.)"

Doctrine & Covenants 76:103
103 These are they who are liars, and sorcerers, and adulterers, and whoremongers, and whosoever loves and makes a lie.
138M8-138M22, from Heavenly Mother: "This morning she appeared right in front of the temple doors, a little elevated in the air in front of me! She was very bright but her light did not shine through me like last night. I noticed her eyes were bright and sparkling, and she was smiling broadly.
She spoke to me: 'Mary Ann had a question about sin. She wondered if our children only sin because of Satan's influence? She wondered if there was no sin during the millennium.
I would like to elaborate more on what your Heavenly Father spoke to you yesterday morning about this topic.
There is a law given to each kingdom of glory. You now live in the mortal telestial world. In this world, our children who are living in sin are permitted to live, including Satan and his hosts. Speaking of the telestial, "These are they who are liars, and sorcerers, and adulterers, and whoremongers, and whosoever loves and makes a lie." (See D&C 76:103). These are all around you in your world now. They will steal and even murder for gain, and still be permitted to live in the telestial world. These telestial people are characterized by how they embrace sin, to one degree or another. They reject the gospel of Jesus Christ in their mortal lives, and those who remain on the telestial earth when Jesus Christ comes in the clouds of heaven, will be burned at his coming. They will then be transferred into the telestial world of the dead where their spirit lives on. They will mostly continue living in sin, for that is what they desire.
When the earth transitions full to a terrestrial earth, those who live a terrestrial law will be able to endure the burning and will largely be preserved. They will remain on the millennial earth with the celestial mortals who love us and obey our every commandment.
Satan and his evil hosts will then be locked up in the bottomless pit by you, Raphael. Their influence among mortal men and women will cease. The natural man in our terrestrial and celestial children will disappear, for they love goodness. These are they who received not the testimony of Jesus in the flesh, but afterwards received it.
These are they who are honorable men of the earth, who were blinded by the craftiness of men.
These are they who receive of his glory, but not of his fullness.
These are they who receive the presence of the Son, but not the fulness of the Father.
Wherefore, they are bodies terrestrial, and not bodies celestial, and differ in glory as the moon differs from the sun.
These are they who are not valiant in the testimony of Jesus; wherefore, they obtain not the crown over the kingdom of our God." (D&C 76:74-79).
These sons and daughters who are of a terrestrial nature will find themselves free from Lucifer and his temptations, and largely free from the natural man and woman tendencies of the telestial world. If they had bad habits, lingering from their previous telestial environments, these they will soon drop, for there is no motivation to keep their old ways in such a wonderful terrestrial world.
They will repent and be forgiven and accepted by Jesus Christ. Most of them will join the Church of Christ at the beginning of the millennium. Others who don't join, will live according to the law of the terrestrial kingdom. There will be very little sin after this transition to the terrestrial world. All will recognize that Jesus Christ had come again to the earth, and dwells in Zion, the New Jerusalem. They will know he is their Great Redeemer, and that he loves them. They will accept his role as King of Kings, and Lord of Lords.
The terrestrial will die when they are old, and will be taken in to the terrestrial world of the dead, or the paradise of God there.
I then asked my Heavenly Mother about those who did not join the Church of Christ by baptism in their mortal life-How were these received into the terrestrial paradise of God in the world of the spirit dead? She answered:
'Raphael, these who live laws of the terrestrial glory on earth, and live and die in the millennium on the earth, will be received into the terrestrial glory among the spirit dead. Even though they may not have been baptized, they still live the laws of the terrestrial. We would not want them to be sent to the world of the telestial dead, for they qualify to receive the higher glory.
There is a section of the terrestrial world of the spirit dead where they may come. They may also attend church meetings among the Church of Christ in that terrestrial world of the dead. They have all received Jesus Christ as their personal Redeemer, for they received of the presence of the Son while in mortality. Their world is one where they continue to be free from those in the telestial world of the dead.
This is a shift from the requirements of the terrestrial world of the dead in your day when you still live on the telestial mortal earth. In your day now, we do not have a way to determine their acceptance of Jesus Christ except through the covenant of a valid baptism on the earth. This ordinance shows to us they accept Jesus Christ as their Redeemer and that he accepts them as his sons and daughters (see Mosiah 5:6-10). For those in your day who receive or have received a valid baptism, and who sincerely repent and take upon them the name of Christ whether by proxy or in person, may enter into the terrestrial world of the dead. In the millennium, the fact those who abide the day of Christ's coming, and live in the new terrestrial world in mortality, is sufficient for them to be received into the terrestrial world of the dead. This is called the paradise of God, which is also what the great terrestrial mortal world in the millennium will be called. It is the same glory that the Garden of Eden was elevated to before the fall of man.
Those who are celestial and who live in the millennial day, will die and be resurrected immediately upon their death to a celestial glory. They will not go to the world of the spirit dead, for they are resurrected. They qualify to go to this celestial orb, awaiting their entrance into our Church of the Firstborn if they had not already been received into that celestial church during their mortal life.
All those who are accepted by Jesus Christ into the Church of the Firstborn are elected into this church by Jesus Christ himself. They will have proven to him their valiancy to follow him above the world, and to have accepted him as their personal Savior. When they come to you to be admitted into the Church of the Firstborn, through the ordinance of the waters of separation, they may be mortal, translated, or resurrected individuals. They all will have abided the laws of the celestial kingdom, and will have been elected to that celestial church by Jesus Christ himself.'"

Doctrine & Covenants 76:105-106
105 These are they who suffer the vengeance of eternal fire.
106 These are they who are cast down to hell and suffer the wrath of Almighty God, until the fulness of times, when Christ shall have subdued all enemies under his feet, and shall have perfected his work;
114B3-114B17: "Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, your Heavenly Mother spoke to you last night about the terrestrial world of the dead, in the spirit world or realm on the earth. Most of our children go to the telestial world of spirits when they die. I would like to address this realm today.
The spirit world, consisting of the telestial and terrestrial realms, is superimposed on the mortal earth. However, those in both realms are not visible to those mortals on the earth, nor are those in mortality visible to those in the realms of the dead. There is a boundary we have created between mortality and those who are dead. In order to cross this boundary, as occasionally happens, those in either realm need to receive our permission.
In the telestial sphere of the dead around the earth, there are surroundings similar to those on the earth, with spirit buildings, trees, other plants and animals. It is an extension of the mortal telestial world. Our children who inhabit this area are spirits, for their physical bodies have died and they are left in the physical earth. Their eternal spirit lives on in the world of the dead.
This telestial world of the dead is a pleasant place, similar in beauty and glory to that on the mortal earth. People there need no sleep, drink or food, for they are spirits without the physical need of their mortal body.
Some of these spirits seek for a better or higher life. They have lived a good life on the earth, and have responded to our promptings to some degree. We continue to bless and guide them with our Spirit as they seek us humbly and are open to our will.
We also have our servants and messengers who are assigned to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with those spirits. They seek out those who choose to listen to their words. The blessings of the Spirit of God attend our servants who labor for the dead in this telestial sphere. These servants and messengers come from the higher realms of the terrestrial dead, who are also spirits. They are called and ordained to these callings by those who lead the Church of Christ in the world of the spirits. There is an active program among these telestial spirits to teach them and to bring as many as will come into the Church of Christ. However, this activity now has been greatly hampered since these spirits may only progress into the terrestrial sphere, or the paradise of God, with a valid baptism, accepted before us. The baptisms performed now in the LDS Church are no longer acceptable, since the leading quorums in this church have lost their priesthood keys and priesthood authority. Once the Church of Christ is re-established on the mortal earth, then baptisms will be done with our sanction and my priesthood authority. Then will those in the telestial spirit world be able to progress again into the terrestrial spirit world of the dead, or the paradise of God.
Those who die before the age of eight, the age of accountability, are automatically received into the paradise of God. They enter as fully-grown adult spirits, just as they were prior to coming to the earth, in their premortal state.
There is a section of the telestial world where evil spirits still come to tempt these inhabitants. Those who are goodly spirits resist these fallen spirits, and pay them no heed. They recognize them as those who rebelled against Jesus Christ and followed Lucifer. These righteous men and women keep together, for they love the higher refinement of living, and seek for that which is praiseworthy and lovely. They want to do well, and to act respectfully of each other. They are our considerate and gentle sons and daughters, who haven't had opportunity yet to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ by his authorized servants.
There are also those in the telestial world of the dead who are evil, love lies, and have continued in their wicked practices they had learned during their mortal earthly experience. These were spoken of by Amulek in the Book of Mormon:
Alma 34:33-35- "And now, as I said unto you before, as ye have had so many witnesses, therefore, I beseech of you that ye do not procrastinate the day of your repentance until the end; for after this day of life, which is given us to prepare for eternity, behold, if we do not improve our time while in this life, then cometh the night of darkness wherein there can be no labor performed.
Ye cannot say, when ye are brought to that awful crisis, that I will repent, that I will return to my God. Nay, ye cannot say this; for that same spirit which doth possess your bodies at the time that ye go out of this life, that same spirit will have power to possess your body in that eternal world.
For behold, if ye have procrastinated the day of your repentance even until death, behold, ye have become subjected to the spirit of the devil, and he doth seal you his; therefore, the Spirit of the Lord hath withdrawn from you, and hath no place in you, and the devil hath all power over you; and this is the final state of the wicked."
These wicked disembodied spirits are still subjugated by Lucifer and his followers, as they were in their mortal life. Their spirits continue loving evil, being sensual, carnal, and devilish. They are miserable, similar to the fallen spirits who followed the plan of Lucifer and were cast down.
In the millennial day, when you, Raphael, lock up Satan and his evil hosts in the bottomless pit, the telestial world of the dead will be void of these fallen spirits who followed Lucifer. However, there will still be those who have lived evil lives on the earth and reside in this telestial realm of the dead. Some might repent, but by and large they love evil, and will suffer in their unrepentant state in this world of the spirits until their day of judgment. They will finally be redeemed and receive a telestial resurrection and glory for eternity, in the eternal worlds.
D&C 76:103-106- "These are they who are liars, and sorcerers, and adulterers, and whoremongers, and whosoever loves and makes a lie.
These are they who suffer the wrath of God on earth.
These are they who suffer the vengeance of eternal fire.
These are they who are cast down to hell and suffer the wrath of Almighty God, until the fulness of times, when Christ shall have subdued all enemies under his feet, and shall have perfected his work;"
The dead who reside in the telestial world of the dead, and are terrestrial or celestial in nature, will all be baptized and progress into the paradise of God. For those who are celestial, these will be resurrected to a celestial glory during the millennium, and will be received into the Church of the Firstborn. For those who are terrestrial in nature, they will be resurrected at the end of the millennium, during the second resurrection. They will be judged of all their works and receive a final terrestrial glory in the eternal worlds.
In the end, when the earth dies and is resurrected, there will be no longer a telestial or a terrestrial sphere for the dead. Instead, all of the earth will be a celestial sphere for those who are sanctified from all sin by our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, and who are celestial in nature. The earth, in its eternal celestial state, will be the abode for those who all eventually become members of the Church of the Firstborn, our celestial church in eternity. The Church of Christ will pass, for it will have fulfilled its purposes.""

Doctrine & Covenants 76:106-111
106 These are they who are cast down to hell and suffer the wrath of Almighty God, until the fulness of times, when Christ shall have subdued all enemies under his feet, and shall have perfected his work;
107 When he shall deliver up the kingdom, and present it unto the Father, spotless, saying: I have overcome and have trodden the wine-press alone, even the wine-press of the fierceness of the wrath of Almighty God.
108 Then shall he be crowned with the crown of his glory, to sit on the throne of his power to reign forever and ever.
109 But behold, and lo, we saw the glory and the inhabitants of the telestial world, that they were as innumerable as the stars in the firmament of heaven, or as the sand upon the seashore;
110 And heard the voice of the Lord saying: These all shall bow the knee, and every tongue shall confess to him who sits upon the throne forever and ever;
111 For they shall be judged according to their works, and every man shall receive according to his own works, his own dominion, in the mansions which are prepared;
102A3-102A10, from Heavenly Mother: "'Raphael, we allow each one of our children to act how they may in full agency, once they have reached their adulthood. Young children are innocent and are not capable of choosing between good and evil until eight years old. They still need lots of guidance from loving parents or adults who should lovingly guide them in their choices. However, once they are in their late teens, they are fully acting on their own, for they may choose who they want to listen to and follow, or they may act on their own.
Your Heavenly Father showed you short scenes in darkness where our children have chosen Lucifer and his temptations. We see all of what our mortal children do and think in mortality. We are not pleased when they choose evil over our gentle, godly ways. There are so many now in the grasp of sin that willingly allow themselves to believe the lies of the adversary. Happiness comes from wholesome living, from all godly virtues and practices.
You see me today full of happiness, beaming with light and acceptance for you. I choose to act this way and to think this way. This doesn't mean that I ignore my views of the wickedness of my children, however. I see all of their works, just like your Heavenly Father does. I control what thoughts I allow to fill my mind so that I may produce such a happy state for myself.
The choices of my children to choose evil are not a reflection upon me. I have loved and accepted them, allowing them their full choice and agency. They may each choose how they wish to act, for your Father and I allow them their full choice. We will reward them at the Day of Judgment, based on their works, what they were willing to receive and how they chose to act.
Those you saw last night were those of the telestial who will be thrust down to hell. They will not be redeemed from the devil until the last resurrection, even when we will have finished our work through our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ. (see D&C 76:84-85)
D&C 76:103-106, 109-111
"These are they who are liars, and sorcerers, and adulterers, and whoremongers, and whosoever loves and makes a lie.
These are they who suffer the wrath of God on earth.
These are they who suffer the vengeance of eternal fire.
These are they who are cast down to hell and suffer the wrath of Almighty God, until the fulness of times, when Christ shall have subdued all enemies under his feet, and shall have perfected his work;
But behold, and lo, we saw the glory and the inhabitants of the telestial world, that they were as innumerable as the stars in the firmament of heaven, or as the sand upon the seashore;
And heard the voice of the Lord saying: These all shall bow the knee, and every tongue shall confess to him who sits upon the throne forever and ever;
For they shall be judged according to their works, and every man shall receive according to his own works, his own dominion, in the mansions which are prepared."
Raphael, once these telestial children have suffered the wrath of God because of their works, they shall be redeemed to a telestial glory. When I see their works they now do, in following Lucifer and his evil ways, I look to the Day of Judgment when we shall judge them. At that time, after their suffering the wrath of God in the world of the spirits for the duration of the time since they die to the end of the millennium, they will then bend the knee and confess that Jesus is the Christ. We will then redeem them to a telestial glory, to live in the eternal worlds with others of their same caliber. They will not have access to our higher worlds, because they chose the level of righteousness and happiness they were willing to receive on earth.
I use my gift of foresight to see them in their final telestial glory. This allows me to keep my own thoughts uncluttered with those who might make me feel sad or upset. I then may choose to fill my mind with happiness, love and light. This is how I almost always appear to you, as I choose to think.'
I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her words. I too want to see these wicked souls in their final state of telestial glory, so that I too may fully fill my mind with pure, holy, happy thoughts, even while evil flourishes all around me. I asked my Heavenly Mother to bless me to control my thoughts like she does.
She spoke again:
'Raphael, your Father and I will bless you with the gift of foresight so that you may look upon the wicked with a view of their final state of glory. You will then see them with compassion and feel more sorry for them than wanting to flee their presence. Your mission, and that of the angels, requires that you act as our conduits of wrath that we will one day pour out upon these, our children who have chosen wickedness. We will command our angels at a future day and they will fulfill our commandments against those who have chosen wicked ways all the days of their earthly life.'"

114 But great and marvelous are the works of the Lord, and the mysteries of his kingdom which he showed unto us, which surpass all understanding in glory, and in might, and in dominion;
115 Which he commanded us we should not write while we were yet in the Spirit, and are not lawful for man to utter;
116 Neither is man capable to make them known, for they are only to be seen and understood by the power of the Holy Spirit, which God bestows on those who love him, and purify themselves before him;
135F15-135F17: "I felt from my Heavenly Mother her deep joy, as well as her state of being so settled and happy to be in her world of felicity and joy!
The peace and tranquility of the celestial world surpassed all my mortal capabilities, and could only be understood by God's spirit and how she shared this with me today.
D&C 76:114,116; "But great and marvelous are the works of the Lord, and the mysteries of his kingdom which he showed unto us, which surpass all understanding in glory, and in might, and in dominion.
...Neither is man capable to make them known, for they are only to be seen and understood by the power of the Holy Spirit, which God bestows on those who love him, and purify themselves before him."
My Heavenly Mother then reached out her hand and I stood beside her. She then placed her arm through mine, and we began walking in the air above the field of buttercups. We talked, but I don't know in my conscious mind our conversation. I saw, from a different view, us walking together as I seemed to be falling backwards into my mortal self, writing all of this vision down in my journal. I thanked her while I wrote, and then closed my prayer."

10 Q. What time are the things spoken of in this chapter to be accomplished?
A. They are to be accomplished in the sixth thousand years, or the opening of the sixth seal.
202G2-202G7: "I came tonight to the desert oasis in the celestial realm. I had received an uplifting email from S.A. while gone on my campout. It is so interesting how she and others of the 144,000 may be in the terrestrial realm, and then go as directed by the Spirit into the telestial realm to bring the elect with them into the terrestrial realm. This is all so very interesting to me.
Heavenly Father came to me at the desert oasis. He spoke to me: 'Raphael, we will have our 144,000 servants reside in the terrestrial realm. Most will be located in the New Jerusalem or cities of Zion nearby. Their mission will be to come to the mortal telestial world as directed by our Spirit, and to contact and teach our chosen elect individual or groups of our elect. They will then have power to bring as many as will come back with them to the area of the New Jerusalem. This will be in fulfillment of the scripture found in D&C 77: 11, where Joseph Smith wrote that the 144,000 would bring as many as will come to the Church of the Firstborn. This is meant as the location of the New Jerusalem.
When those who trek to Zion come into our terrestrial mortal sphere, and if they are called to be part of the 144,000, we may inspire them to go into the telestial realm and seek out our elect who are in that telestial mortal realm. They will be able to convince them by the Spirit of God that will accompany their teaching of truth, even as we inspire them. They may gather them to join them on their own trek to the New Jerusalem, or to bring them directly there if they already reside there.
When you come with your wife and son from your residence in Utah to the New Jerusalem, you will bring them from the telestial to the terrestrial realm. This miraculous movement will initiate others doing this as well. Those who have this particular mission are called as part of the 144,000. These will be our faithful men and women elect servants, called by Jesus Christ to gather and teach our elect.
Their great service will continue from the time you, your wife and son come to the New Jerusalem at the end of September, and extend even until Jesus Christ comes in his glory to the earth.
The great work of gathering has now begun! The 144,000 will be part of this great mission. We will also direct our angels and celestial servants to gather, teach and transport our faithful elect, and to bring them out of harm's way into a world of peace and safety.'"

Doctrine & Covenants 77:11
11 Q. What are we to understand by sealing the one hundred and forty-four thousand, out of all the tribes of Israel, twelve thousand out of every tribe?
A. We are to understand that those who are sealed are high priests, ordained unto the holy order of God, to administer the everlasting gospel; for they are they who are ordained out of every nation, kindred, tongue, and people, by the angels to whom is given power over the nations of the earth, to bring as many as will come to the church of the Firstborn.
24A1-24A5: "Q- In Revelation chapter 7, we read about the 144,000 being sealed, 12,000 of each tribe of the house of Israel. In D&C 77:11, it says this about the 144,000:
'We are to understand that those who are sealed are high priests, ordained unto the holy order of God, to administer the everlasting gospel; for they are they who are ordained out of every nation, kindred, tongue, and people, by the angels to whom is given power over the nations of the earth, to bring as many as will come to the Church of the Firstborn.' This ordination to the priesthood, is it independent of the LDS lines of the priesthood authority, if it comes from the angels? Please explain.
2. A- Yes, this is an independent source of priesthood ordination, outside the LDS church purview. These ordinations by the angels are already done, in the unconscious minds of all the 144,000. These are all high priests, after the order of Melchizedek, or after the order of the son of God. They bring their converts to the Church of the Firstborn, not to the LDS church. (Later: there are also women in this group, so read on!).
In addition, the two witnesses, the two prophets who will have power for 3 1/2 years (1,260 days), also hold the priesthood, and are high priests, ordained by the holy angels. These two prophets, and 144,000, are all ordained by the angel ascending from the east (Revelation 7:2 and D&C 77:9) and the four angels (Revelation 7:1 and D&C 77:8).
Q- Has this ordination for the two prophets and the 144,000 already happened?
A- Yes
Q- Are the angels in Revelation 7:2 (four angels, D&C 77:8 and the angel ascending from the east, D&C 77:9) associated with the LDS Church in any way?
A- No. These are sent by God the Father, through his son Jesus Christ, to fulfill their callings and mission.
Q- Did the prophet who blew the trumpet at the north shores of the Sea of Galilee on August 19th, 2016-was his trumpet his own? Or was it given to him by God?
A- It was given to him by God for this very purpose."
134E10, from Heavenly Father: "Raphael, you wondered about my three disciples that were translated to a terrestrial glory when Jesus Christ came among the Nephites. (see 3 Nephi 28:6-10). These are still abroad in the land, and serve my elect in secret. Some of the accounts you read about last night were true stories of them serving our elect. They will join the 144,000 who are now starting to be translated, to also serve the elect, even as the three Nephite disciples. They are all subject to the directions of Jesus Christ whom they serve. They will help in the great work of gathering my elect to safe garners around the earth. This will be in the day of coming days of increased tribulations. When the time comes, they will also gather those elect to the New Jerusalem, to the Church of the Firstborn (see D&C 77:11).'"
112F4-112F7, from Jesus Christ: "As our Heavenly Parents are directing all of the angels and celestial servants, so am I directing all of the terrestrial servants who will gather our elect. I have commissioned all of the 144,000 servants on Mount Zion, but that was in their unconscious minds, with their spirits. This fulfills the prophecy of Revelation 14:1 "And I looked, and lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads."
Now that these terrestrial servants are commissioned in the spirit, they need now to be awakened in their conscious mind in their physical bodies. I am awakening each one to their great mission and the Holy Ghost is also coming upon them to witness to my awakening, so that they will be ready when I call on them to serve me. At that time that I command them, they need to be translated to a terrestrial glory. They will be translated mortals who go forth on the earth, working in the terrestrial realms around the earth. Since they work from the terrestrial realms, they will not be subject to the bounds of the mortal telestial sphere. They will be able to bring those they gather into the terrestrial sphere and transport them to Zion, the New Jerusalem.
The plagues and diseases of the lower telestial sphere will not hurt nor harm them, for they work from a higher terrestrial sphere. They will bring as many as will come to the Church of the Firstborn, even to the New Jerusalem.' (see D&C 77:11)
I asked my Savior this question: 'My Redeemer, will the angels ordain these 144,000 even after you have commissioned them on Mount Zion, as recorded in D&C 77:11, and will there also be high priestesses among them, not just high priests?'
D&C 77:11 "We are to understand that those who are sealed are high priests, ordained unto the holy order of God, to administer the everlasting gospel; for they are they who are ordained out of every nation, kindred, tongue, and people, by the angels to whom is given power over the nations of the earth, to bring as many as will come to the church of the Firstborn."
Jesus replied: 'Raphael, I commissioned all of the gathered spirit hosts of the 144,000 at one time on Mount Zion. This was at Mount Timpanogas, Utah, as you have previously record in on Oct. 3, 2016. These individuals of the 144,000 still need to be ordained, one at a time, by the angels before they are prepared to fulfill their missions. They also need to be fully translated. The angels who will ordain them are the four angels spoken of in Revelation 7:1 and the angel from the east in Revelation 7:2-4. The four angels consist of two male angels having the office of high priest and two female angels having the office of high priestess. The angel from the east is a male angel and also a high priest. The male angels ordain and set apart the male high priests who are among the 144,000, and the female angels ordain the women to the office of high priestess and set them apart for their callings. There will be more female high priestesses among the 144,000 than there will be male high priests.'
I thanked Jesus for answering my question. He then looked toward the path and the distant tree of life where I was soon to walk.
He spoke again: 'Raphael, each one of these 144,000 servants needs also to be redeemed by me, and cleansed of all sin. I will inspire them as they work diligently to gather my elect from the four quarters of the earth. They will have power to bring the elect through their spiritual terrestrial realms and portals to places of safety and ultimately to the New Jerusalem. They will have power over the adversary and over the telestial powers of the physical and spirit earth.'"
113I2-113I6: "Heavenly Mother spoke: 'Raphael, there is a large difference between translated states of terrestrial and celestial beings. This is due to the nature of the missions of each, and from which spiritual realm they work.
For terrestrial beings who are translated, they do not have the capacity to replicate their body. Wherever they are located is where their ministry is from, in their conscious state. They are in an elevated terrestrial sphere where they minister to our elect children. They have the protection of this higher realm around their being at all times. Their translation elevates them in the flesh to this terrestrial state, from where they may freely come and work. When in the telestial sphere, they have full protection from disease and death. They may also take the elect with them into the terrestrial sphere so that you may use their own portal to transfer these elect individuals to other locations on the earth. These transfers are not visible to the telestial on the earth. They will transport these righteous individuals to the New Jerusalem and to the Church of the Firstborn, even as Jesus Christ may direct them (see D&C 77:11).
The celestial that are translated, as are you, live in the mortal telestial state like they have lived in since birth. They are still subjected to the telestial world on the earth and may become ill or even die, for they live in that telestial sphere. However, they have power to replicate their physical translated body into the celestial sphere. This celestial sphere may be around the earth or on the celestial orb, like where you located at this time.
Since your translated physical body is located in the celestial sphere, you are also elevated to that realm and what beings in that realm may do. You may replicate yourself as often as is required, to as many times as the need arises. This you do by the power of God, which we have extended to you. You come to those you minister to as angels of light, usually not visible unless we have that as part of your assignment. You receive all of your directives from us, either your Heavenly Father or Heavenly Mother. There are a relatively small number of you who are mortal angels and servants, living your life in the fallen telestial sphere along with other mortals. In your mortal state, where you live with your physical body and conscious mind, you appear as the rest of humanity who are all around you. You don't have any additional powers in your flesh because of you status as celestial angels and servants. You are able to gain the lessons and experiences of the flesh, even while you minister to the elect in the celestial realms. Your Heavenly Father explained to you last night that we consider this a great advantage for your eternal progress and growth. You are able to continue learning from this fallen telestial world, even while serving us night and day in the celestials realms above. You may also bear children as do other mortals on earth.
You can see that translation to a terrestrial or celestial state is very different! We have designed it in this way because of the different parameters of each realm, and of the different missions of those who serve us in these realms. The biggest factor is that you have the power to replicate, whereas those in the terrestrial realm do not. You also are able to labor in the celestial realms in your full unconscious mind, whereas the terrestrial translated labor in their conscious mind only. Your capabilities in the celestial realm are far greater. However, this necessitates that you live in the telestial sphere of the earth in your mortal physical bodies, subject to the illnesses and potential death in that sphere. Were we to protect you in the flesh with your celestial glory, you would shine and attract attention from the celestial film of that realm that would come over you. This is not our desire, for we desire you who are translated to a celestial glory to act in the flesh as everybody else who lives there. You fully appear as a mortal since that is what you are. Your translated body, which is celestial, is only in the celestial realm and not in the mortal telestial realm. As such, you may work and labor for us in behalf of the mortal elect on the earth and the elect in the spirit realms of the dead. You work directly as our extension to our faithful children who are now on the earth.'"
172B28-172C10: "The building up of Zion in the New Jerusalem area and in surrounding areas will take several years. You going back to your house in Utah County will be limited to only a few visits since all your needs will be met in your new terrestrial world. This revisiting of your old telestial life and home will be rarely done by others since most of our elect will have left all when they departed and have not the ability to travel as you will have developed by your faith and diligence. The move for your wife and son will be more abrupt than for you since you will have already walked to Zion in a replicated state. In general, by the time our elect arrive in Zion, they will have left willingly or fled from the wicked to come to a land of peace and security. They will have developed the change in their minds to leave all behind in their old life.
Your area in Utah will have its share of upheavals from the calamities and marauding troops, but towns and cities will largely be intact. Many of the elect will have departed, but some will remain in certain areas that we will inspire them to group together in. The area will, however, be largely unsafe from lawless gangs and calamities that will still grip the land and the people. The only place that will have peace and safety will be in the center of the land in the cities of Zion.
This will be the time when the 144,000 servants will search out the elect and bring them to Zion, the New Jerusalem, before the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. These ministers will go over all the earth in search of the elect, and will bring them to the Church of the Firstborn:
D&C 77:11-
"Q. What are we to understand by sealing the one hundred and forty-four thousand, out of all the tribes of Israel, twelve thousand out of every tribe?
A. We are to understand that those who are sealed are high priests (and high priestesses), ordained unto the holy order of God, to administer the everlasting gospel; for they are they who are ordained out of every nation, kindred, tongue, and people, by the angels to whom is given power over the nations of the earth, to bring as many as will come to the church of the Firstborn." (to Zion, the New Jerusalem). (Words in parentheses by Heavenly Mother). (see also post 24A1-24A4, and search in "144,000" in your posts index.)
Raphael, these 144,000 will be sent forth from the New Jerusalem into all nations and lands on the earth to gather our elect to one place, preparatory to the second coming of Jesus Christ:
D&C 101: 12-13, 17-20
"And in that day all who are found upon the watch-tower, or in other words, all mine Israel, shall be saved.
And they that have been scattered shall be gathered."
"Zion shall not be moved out of her place, notwithstanding her children are scattered.
They that remain, and are pure in heart, shall return, and come to their inheritances, they and their children, with songs of everlasting joy, to build up the waste places of Zion
And all these things that the prophets might be fulfilled.
And, behold, there is none other place appointed than that which I have appointed; neither shall there be any other place appointed than that which I have appointed, for the work of the gathering of my saints--"
Raphael, come here again tomorrow morning, at this fountain of living water, and your Heavenly Father will meet you here. He will share more with you about the 144,000.'
I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her great truths she shared with me! I told her how much I loved her, and would obey her and Heavenly Father in all things.
I then closed my prayer and retired to bed.
C. R's Personal Journal Entry, Thursday, September 10, 2020
I reread what I had received and written last night. I prayed about these things and confirmed in my mind and heart that they were true. I am impressed with how marvelous the terrestrial world will be, above the telestial world where we now live! I find myself yearning to go there.
I wondered if the work of gathering by the 144,000 will need to be accomplished before the second coming of Jesus Christ, so that all of the elect are in one place in Zion. I then remembered the scripture of the Jews who would be in their holy land and would be converted in one day at the return of Jesus Christ. I guess there will be two places of gathering at the second coming, one at the old Jerusalem, and one in the center place of Zion and surrounding Zion cities in our land of promise.
D&C 45: 51-53
"And then shall the Jews look upon me and say: What are these wounds in thine hands and in thy feet?
Then shall they know that I am the Lord; for I will say unto them: These wounds are the wounds with which I was wounded in the house of my friends. I am he who was lifted up. I am Jesus that was crucified. I am the Son of God.
And then shall they weep because of their iniquities; then shall they lament because they persecuted their king."
I came to the fountain of living water in the celestial orb, and saw my Heavenly Parents there waiting for me! I approached them and knelt before them. I looked up into the accepting faces of my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother before me, for they were both smiling upon me.
Heavenly Father then spoke: 'Raphael, you are correct that the 144,000 will gather all of the elect who will come to the New Jerusalem where will be the Church of the Firstborn. These will come out of all nations on the earth.
Many of the Jews will also be numbered among our elect, and many will be gathered to modern-day Israel. They will see a great war and calamity, but our Son Jesus Christ will deliver them when the Mount of Olives will cleave in twain by a large earthquake in that area (D&C 45: 48). This will be the day of their deliverance by Jesus Christ.
Others of the elect who are scattered upon the face of the earth will be gathered one by one by the 144,000 servants who will go forth from the New Jerusalem. They will bring as many as will come to that great city, even to the terrestrial earth in that area. They too will be purified and made clean in the blood of Jesus Christ, for he will cleanse them and accept them into this city of peace and safety. They will be escorted there by a member of the 144,000 who will be given power to travel with them through the portal of that member of the 144,000 in the terrestrial realms of the earth (see your post 139E33).
The rescue effort of the 144,000 will be great! We will work together with our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, to inspire them where to find our elect. These elect will be in all situations, and will eagerly hear the words of our 144,000 servants who will physically come among them. They will speak their language, and persuade them by our Spirit to come with them to an area of peace and safety, to our New Jerusalem and Church of the Firstborn. Our elect will recognize our voice of the Spirit that accompanies their words of encouragement and truth. After agreeing to come, they will leave all behind and come to the gates of the New Jerusalem where they will be accepted and received into our Zion, the pure in heart. They will then become part of the citizenry of our pure and holy people and land.
When all of the elect are safely gathered, all who will come, then Jesus Christ will come in the clouds of heaven. The prophecies concerning his coming will then be fulfilled. The wicked in the world will be burned at his presence, and the elect will be lifted up in the clouds of heaven with Jesus (see D&C 76: 63). This will be the day that the entire earth will transform to a terrestrial world, and the millennium will begin. Jesus Christ will descend with his elect to a new earth and reign as their king for a thousand years.
Raphael, the 144,000 have a vital role in the gathering process. They will be inspired where to find our elect and to bring them from among the wicked in their telestial world, to our place of gathering.'"
174C4-174C8, 174C12: "Once these, our house of Israel, and as many of the repentant gentiles who will come to the New Jerusalem are all taught, then all will be my people, and be numbered among my elect and chosen Israel (see 3 Nephi 16:13).
Raphael, after these elect are taught, Jesus Christ will formally organize and empower them to go forth among all the nations of the earth to glean the elect from wherever they may be, and bring them to the New Jerusalem and the surrounding cities of Zion.
D&C 77:11
"Q. What are we to understand by sealing the one hundred and forty-four thousand, out of all the tribes of Israel, twelve thousand out of every tribe?
A. We are to understand that those who are sealed are high priests (and high priestesses), ordained unto the holy order of God, to administer the everlasting gospel (that they were recently taught in the New Jerusalem); for they are they who are ordained out of every nation, kindred, tongue, and people, by the angels to whom is given power over the nations of the earth, to bring as many as will come to the church of the Firstborn." (which is located on the New Jerusalem. This latter group, from every nation, kindred, tongue and people will be the first elect that the 144,000 will bring to the New Jerusalem. These will become taught and also convinced by the Holy Ghost, and then be ordained as high priests and high priestesses to join the 144,000 and go out to gather the elect from all the nations of the earth. The center place of gathering will be the island of the New Jerusalem, and the surrounding cities of Zion.)
3 Nephi 16:17-20
"And then the words of the prophet Isaiah shall be fulfilled which say:
Thy watchmen (the 144,00) shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing, for they shall see eye to eye when the Lord shall bring again Zion.
Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of (the New) Jerusalem; for the Lord hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem.
The Lord hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of God (when the 144,000 come among them to gather out my elect)." (Words in parenthesis given by Heavenly Father).
Raphael, at that day we will have you and others of our mortal angels and celestial servants replicate themselves and teach our elect in the New Jerusalem area frequently, even during their workday time in their breaks and times when they eat and rest. We will fully have our house of Israel be immersed in learning the truths of the fulness of the gospel. They will all accept this eagerly, for they are now being prepared in the spirit in their unconscious minds in our celestial realms. They will recognize these truths and fully embrace them. Once taught, this growing group will be ordained and greatly motivated to bring all Israel from every sector of the earth where they are scattered. Their faith, verve and commitment will be their hallmark, for these are those ordained by the angels (see Revelation 7:2-4 and D&C 77:11).'
Evening-I reread what I had written this morning and was again impressed how important it will be for all of the elect of Israel, and particularly the 144,000, to be fully taught the fulness of the gospel. I know Heavenly Mother will witness to their hearts and minds the truth of all the things. They then will go forth with that sure witness to the ends of the earth, and with that faith and testimony convince others of the elect. Once these new elect are convinced, then they will be brought to the New Jerusalem in the portals of those members who teach them. This movement will be immediate and will be a new terrestrial environment for the newly converted elect. They will move from the telestial sphere to the terrestrial sphere, and it will be tolerable for them, for they are of the terrestrial elect of God."
188C7-188C8, from Heavenly Mother: "Raphael, your generation at this time is unique, for this time will begin a new spiritual realm on the earth in not many days. Zion, in her majesty and glory, will come forth upon the earth and remain for a thousand years of peace. A few of you will be our celestial mortal servants, and will have your aging arrested until the end of these thousand years, in order that you might serve our faithful children in the New Jerusalem celestial temple.
We are now hastening this time, and preparing you, who are first laborers in this, our last kingdom on the earth, even the celestial kingdom and realm around the New Jerusalem temple. All of our celestial elect will come there and be ordained and receive their eternal ordinances by the holy angels of God. The 144,000 are ordained by the angels, as well as those who enter the New Jerusalem temple (see D&C 77:11)."
201H12, from Heavenly Father: "'Raphael, the 144,000 servants will largely come from the tribes of Israel who are already on the island of the New Jerusalem. Every tribe is represented in these tribes that have come, even as described in Revelation 7:4-8 and D&C 77:11. Their knowledge of the gospel truths that we have revealed on the earth will largely be taught to them during the evening gospel study classes on our island. They will soon be able to study these records for themselves, in addition to hearing these truths taught to them by the 200 men and women teachers. This people will become very understanding of the many truths that we have revealed to our children from the beginning of time. Hidden records will also come to light, and be taught in these groups. Their understanding will be great, and none will excel this people in gospel scholarship and knowledge. Each one attending these classes will know for themselves what they accept as true, for they will have verified all that they receive by our Spirit in prayer. The Holy Spirit will be in great abundance in all of these classes, even to great outpourings of truth to many, including secret things that have never yet been revealed to man.'"
202H9-202H25, from Heavenly Mother: "John will be working with the tribes of Israel at first, teaching their teachers on what to teach in the 200 sessions over the next few days. You, Raphael, will hold a meeting during those days in the celestial realm among our holy angels and celestial servants. You will charge them, in our strength and power, to more actively go forth among our mortal elect all over the earth. They will be directed to follow our Spirit in administering to our elect, teaching our truths from heaven, keeping them safe and protected, and helping motivate them to come to Zion, the New Jerusalem.
Both you and John the Beloved will work in orchestrating the great work of gathering Israel, our elect!
John will next divide up the 144,000 on the island of the New Jerusalem into their own twelve tribes. This will be according to what he wrote in Revelation 7: 4-8, wherein he named the twelve tribes or sons of Israel, each having 12,000 individuals.
Once these twelve groups are chosen, and willing to follow their calling to serve, you will come among them in one of their 7:00 pm sessions. You will come above the group in your celestial glory, and call forth the angels of heaven to come down among these twelve groups. They will then ordain them by the laying on of hands, in fulfillment of D&C 77:11-
"Q. What are we to understand by sealing the one hundred and forty-four thousand, out of all the tribes of Israel-twelve thousand out of every tribe?
A. We are to understand that those who are sealed are high priests (and high priestesses), ordained unto the holy order of God, to administer the everlasting gospel; for they are they who are ordained out of every nation, kindred, tongue and people (Raphael, only the initial 144,000 will be gathered together at this time. Others will be added to their ranks from all the nations of the earth, after most of these are gathered by those who are the first ones called and ordained), by the angels to whom is given power over the nations of the earth (Raphael, in your upcoming meeting in the celestial realms with our holy angels and celestial servants, you will be given our authority and power over the nations of the earth, and to transfer this very power to the angels of God. They in turn will ordain those elect mortals starting on the New Jerusalem next month, in September 2021. These are those whom John will have chosen to be the first ones of the 144,000 servants. This ordination by the angels of God will be all done when you rise up in your glory as our archangel of God, even above the 200 classes, and call forth these commissioned angels to ordain those called in their twelve groups.), to bring as many as will come to the Church of the Firstborn." (words in parenthesis from Heavenly Mother).
Raphael, our first ones of the 144,000 who are ordained by the angels will continue attending the 7:00 pm classes. During the daytime hours, they will be relieved of the work projects on the island, and will be wholly focused on their missions to gather Israel.
Once the 144,000 of the tribes of Israel are commissioned and actively working on their missions, you will meet with John the Beloved in planning our city, the New Jerusalem (see your post 201D7).'
I bowed my head before my glorious Heavenly Mother and thanked her for this remarkable revelation she shared with me. I said I would be fully obedient to her and Heavenly Father's direction.
She then rose up into the celestial sky above the tree of life. I closed my prayer in the name of Jesus Christ.
Evening-I met with my Heavenly Father tonight next to the golden altar, near to the fountain of living water at the New Jerusalem. I was kneeling before him, seeking more understanding about the 144,000 servants.
Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, your Heavenly Mother spoke to you this morning about how those who are commissioned in the New Jerusalem to be part of the 144,000 would gather our elect. They will labor in the daytime, following our Spirit to go to specific elect individuals and groups of people in the telestial mortal earth. They will teach these, even while in their terrestrial robes that they wear in Zion. They may make multiple visits to our same elect, working in coordination with our angels and celestial servants. Some of our elect will have visitations of these angels or celestial servants, and will become convinced to come to Zion. They will also escape their ever difficult telestial world. Generally, the 144,000 will hold their hands and then, by their intention, move with them into the terrestrial area surrounding the New Jerusalem.
When these newcomers arrive, they will still need to pass the guards. These guards will be stationed at the perimeter of the island, next to the wall entrances that will be mostly completed by the end of this year. The gates by the four river exits through the walls will be completed next year. The guards will have our Spirit, and be ordained to judge the heart and mind of our elect who seek to enter into the New Jerusalem, and into any of our Zion cities. Once these guards approve of the elect whom the 144,000 bring to the New Jerusalem, they may enter. These new citizens will then be put to work to build the city, to gather the elect, or to do whatever might be assigned to them to accomplish. In the evenings they will join the gospel classes and be taught our truths.
The initial calling of the 144,000 will be chosen by John the Beloved as 12,000 from each tribe of Israel. As others arrive in the city, they may swell the ranks of their own respective tribe. The total number of 144,000 will soon grow more than this number, but will still be referred to as the 144,000. Both men and women will continue to be called by John and then ordained by the angels of God. In this process, the angels will ordain them to be high priests for the men, and high priestesses for the women, if they hadn't previously been ordained. The angels will commission them and empower them to use their own portals to bring others to the terrestrial realm from the telestial realm. Their unique clothing they will wear, their robes of the terrestrial world, will distinguish them from the mortal telestial people. They may come and go by moving back and forth from one realm into the other. If they hold others, they may also bring those with them and leave temporarily or permanently with them. This will be a way for them to escape their enemies and avoid detection if that needs to be done.
Our 144,000 will receive the Spirit by the prayer of faith. They will be guided in all they do by our Spirit that will emanate from them. Our elect will recognize their mantle of power and authority, and the truths they teach. We will go before them, and support their faithful efforts with our angels and the celestial hosts of heaven. Blessed are our latter-day servants, for they will obey us their Gods in all things, and great will be the harvest of many souls of our elect!
Language barriers will not be an obstacle, for the gift of tongues will be commonplace. All of the gifts of the Spirit will be abundant with our faithful servants, whether they serve in the telestial, terrestrial or celestial realms.'
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his additional truths he shared with me. I felt at peace, and clear minded as these truths flowed into my heart and mind from my Father.
My prayer ended, for my Father faded away into the celestial air near the golden altar. I closed my prayer.
I received this email from S on 8-13-2021 entitled "144,000":
"R,
I prayed in regards to the information you received yesterday. It is amazing to learn how these scriptures that we have read throughout our lives are now being fulfilled in reality. Here is my journal entry from this morning.
8/13/21 AM
In prayer, I called upon my Heavenly Parents. I desired to know the truth of what Raphael recorded in regards to the 144,000. I had read the references in Revelation 7: 4-8 and D&C 77: 11.
Both my Heavenly Parents called to me. I came to their sides on the grassy hill in the New Jerusalem where Raphael meets with the 200 teachers daily. They were both happy and smiling, and I felt great joy in their presence.
Heavenly Mother spoke: 'Our beloved son Gideon, this is the location where Raphael meets daily with the 200 teachers to give them instruction and learning to share with the 200 classes each evening. We are causing our truths to be disseminated in an organized fashion. These students in turn are teaching their families in the home and confirming these truths with us in prayer. These tribes of Israel are being readied at this time to be called from within their individual tribes to be part of the 144,000. You see now how the scriptures that you read and considered since your youth are coming together according to our word and decree. These individuals have cast off the cares of the world and only seek to do our will. Their journey to the New Jerusalem prepared them for this calling. Jesus testified of this gathering and teaching of the tribes of Israel to the Nephites (3 Nephi 20: 22, 29-30). Yet the promise remains to the gentiles, that if they repent, they may be gathered too. This pertains to our children within the LDS church and those scattered throughout the earth.
You read yesterday the directions of the First Presidency in the LDS church urging all members to be vaccinated. Our children throughout the earth are lost and confused. The timing of selecting the 144,000 coincides with the great need to rescue our children from deception, darkness and lies. Our elect are awakening to the reality that they must seek us for truth and not rely on man. These rescue efforts will begin in September when John the Beloved, under the direction of Jesus Christ, organizes and directs these efforts through the twelve tribes of Israel.
Record these words for they are true and faithful. All may know for themselves too if they ask us, their Heavenly Parents, in prayer.'
I felt deep joy for the understanding of these scriptures that will soon come to pass to bless the earth. My Heavenly Parents departed and I closed my prayer.
Warmly,
S""

11 Q. What are we to understand by sealing the one hundred and forty-four thousand, out of all the tribes of Israel, twelve thousand out of every tribe?
A. We are to understand that those who are sealed are high priests, ordained unto the holy order of God, to administer the everlasting gospel; for they are they who are ordained out of every nation, kindred, tongue, and people, by the angels to whom is given power over the nations of the earth, to bring as many as will come to the church of the Firstborn.
12 Q. What are we to understand by the sounding of the trumpets, mentioned in the 8th chapter of Revelation?
A. We are to understand that as God made the world in six days, and on the seventh day he finished his work, and sanctified it, and also formed man out of the dust of the earth, even so, in the beginning of the seventh thousand years will the Lord God sanctify the earth, and complete the salvation of man, and judge all things, and shall redeem all things, except that which he hath not put into his power, when he shall have sealed all things, unto the end of all things; and the sounding of the trumpets of the seven angels are the preparing and finishing of his work, in the beginning of the seventh thousand years, the preparing of the way before the time of his coming.
Sun, Sep 25, 2011
The purpose of 144,000 are to bring as many as will come to the church. These are ordained by the angels and are high priests.

13 Q. When are the things to be accomplished, which are written in the 9th chapter of Revelation?
A. They are to be accomplished after the opening of the seventh seal, before the coming of Christ.
Tue, Jan 5, 2016
Seven angels are coming with their trumpets and vials in the opening of the 7th seal. See Rev ch 8. Note also that at the opening of the 7th seal, the earth is sanctified. I believe at this time America will be sanctified while the rest of the world remains in wickedness. Also at the beginning of the 7th seal there will be a first resurrection of the righteous, which is inferred by the wording "complete the salvation of man, and judge all things and shall redeem all things, except that which he hath not put into his power". At the beginning of the 7th seal only America will be "put into his power", and the rest of the world he will have not yet put into his power. The rest of the sounding of the angels are to prepare and finish the work for that which he has not yet put into his own power. Purpose of 144,000 are to bring as many as will come to the church of the Firstborn, the new church in America (church among the Celestial). These are ordained by the angels and are high priests.

Doctrine & Covenants 78:14
14 That through my providence, notwithstanding the tribulation which shall descend upon you, that the church may stand independent above all other creatures beneath the celestial world;
184I15-184I18: "Heavenly Mother continued: 'Raphael, you have been continuing to prepare every needful thing for the days ahead, which pleases us. Everything you prepare in your own stewardship over which you have influence, continues to allow you to become more and more independent. It is our will that our elect continue to become as self-reliant and independent of the society and world in which they now live as they are able.
In 1832 a revelation as given to Joseph Smith wherein our Son Jesus Christ spoke to him about the importance of the Church of Christ, in their day, to "stand independent above all other creatures beneath the celestial world." (D&C 78:14) We wish this to be reemphasized in your day also, for every one of our elect, as they are able. Many have prepared for years with food storage and developing provident living skills, in hopes to be self reliant. The day is soon at hand when goods and services of all varieties will no longer be available. We wish our faithful to continue to prepare every needful thing (D&C 88:119), as they have strength and ability, without running faster than they are able. It is important that our elect do these things in wisdom and order, and are diligent. (see Mosiah 4:27).'
I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her counsel. I said I would always be in the way of preparation and self-reliance, even in Zion, the New Jerusalem. I said I believed we should do as much as we can do ourselves to sustain and provide for our own. I said I would also share of the abundance she and Heavenly Father bless us with, with our neighbors and those in need.
Heavenly Mother smiled and told me I was correct. She then departed, and I closed my evening prayer."

Doctrine & Covenants 78:17-18
17 Verily, verily, I say unto you, ye are little children, and ye have not as yet understood how great blessings the Father hath in his own hands and prepared for you;
18 And ye cannot bear all things now; nevertheless, be of good cheer, for I will lead you along. The kingdom is yours and the blessings thereof are yours, and the riches of eternity are yours.
135B5-135B11: "We are also revealing your revelations gradually to the faithful, even as we are now doing to Tania, a newly awakened healing angel. As people like Tania accept what we have revealed to you, we give them a little more. Thus by degrees our faithful will be led, as they accept our truths, until they receive full access to all of our revelations through you (see post 129D11). Once they have read and accepted all twelve groups of posts, up to post 99, then ask them to sustain you as Raphael, our archangel of God who helps in doing our great latter-day work, and that they sustain you as our prophet for the Church of the Firstborn. Then ask them to sequentially read and accept your posts from post 100 forward. They should continue to confirm all of our revelations to you, others, and to themselves by our Holy Spirit, or my Holy Ghost.
In this way we will prove our faithful and gradually unveil to them, in a similar way as we have unveiled to you and those who follow and read your posts, all of our revelations.
Those who are now on this path of receiving and confirming our abundant revelations are now on the path to receive all of our truths. They will become our first leaders and servants in our new millennial world, soon to come upon the earth. Their names and their works, along with yours, will be had in memorial among all of the future elect in a coming day soon upon the earth.
Even though you and our celestial first responders whom we have called, those who accept and study our revelations through you, will be had in memorial, we still require them to act in humility and great penitence. This attitude of dependence upon God and considering themselves to be only receivers of our words and not self-aggrandizing themselves in any way, is required of all our celestial servants and our celestial elect. Only when in this humble and open state will we reveal to them our abundant truths and secrets, long withheld from our children. If at any time they become proud and elitist, in any way, we will stop the flow of light and truth to them. They will, like the other angels who have not continued to sustain you, receive no more of our truths and revelations through you. They will then start to forget what great gems of truth and wisdom that we have revealed to you, found in your published posts. We will use them in lesser ways than they could have fully received, had they remained open and penitent on a daily basis.
Have this newest journal entry, starting from last night, be your newest post 135. In each new post there is a gradual change coming upon you and our faithful celestial first responders who read and assist you in this work. You are all receiving significantly more faith and assurance, more light and confidence, to do all of the work we plan for you each to do. With this gradual boost of confidence, you will each be able to navigate with our Spirit in remarkable ways to do our work as we quietly direct you.
D&C 78:17-18
"Verily, verily, I say unto you, ye are little children, and ye have not as yet understood how great blessings the Father (and Mother) hath in his (their) own hands and prepared for you:
And ye cannot bear all things now; nevertheless, be of good cheer, for I (we) will lead you along. The kingdom is yours and the blessings thereof are yours, and the riches of eternity are yours." (comments and additions added by Heavenly Mother)
I thanked my glorious Heavenly Mother for her beautiful and hopeful words to me this morning! I feel so honored and humbled to receive all of these truths, even from my glorious Heavenly Mother. I told her how I would always humbly follow her and Heavenly Father, and keep their commandments. I told her I loved her so very much!"

Doctrine & Covenants 81:2
2 Unto whom I have given the keys of the kingdom, which belong always unto the Presidency of the High Priesthood:
Wed, Sep 27, 2023
The keys of the Presidency are the keys and commission given to Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery (later transferred to Hyrum Smith), given in D&C 27:13 by Peter, James and John, and also found in D&C 110 from Moses, Elias and Elijah the prophets. These keys remained with Joseph Smith and his brother Hyrum Smith, and were removed upon their death. Oliver Cowdery, Sidney Rigdon, and Frederick G Williams all held these at different times, but apostatized, thereby losing these keys. Because of no conferral of these keys, and because of transgression, they were not perpetrated in the First Presidency, once it was re-established in Utah. They were meant to be continued in successive First Presidencies, but were never conferred upon anyone else upon the death of Joseph and Hyrum Smith. Brigham Young, as president of the quorum of the twelve, never received these keys, for his keys were those specific to the twelve in their work of the ministry to those outside of the church (see D&C112:16 and D&C124:127-128 for keys given to the president of the Twelve).
There were also keys associated with the Melchizedek Priesthood, which continued in the church after Joseph and Hyrum passed.

Doctrine & Covenants 84:4-5
4 Verily this is the word of the Lord, that the city New Jerusalem shall be built by the gathering of the saints, beginning at this place, even the place of the temple, which temple shall be reared in this generation.
5 For verily this generation shall not all pass away until an house shall be built unto the Lord, and a cloud shall rest upon it, which cloud shall be even the glory of the Lord, which shall fill the house.
June 3, 2024
Using the 1828 Webster dictionary, the 3rd definition of generation: "3. The people of the same period, or living at the same time"
Extending this from Joseph's time to ours might allow this prophecy to be fulfilled with the New Jerusalem celestial temple in 2021, which is 189 years after this prophecy.
See D&C 64:23-24- "Behold, now it is called today until the coming of the Son of Man, and verily it is a day of sacrifice, and a day for the tithing of my people; for he that is tithed shall not be burned at his coming.
For after today cometh the burning, this is speaking after the manner of the Lord, for verily I say, tomorrow all the proud and they that do wickedly shall be as stubble; and I will burn them up, for I am the Lord of Hosts; and I will not spare any that remain in Babylon."
Jesus is speaking "after the manner of the Lord", and this "generation" is from 1832 until the burning at the second coming. We are all of the same generation, for we are all living at the same time before the second coming (named "today"), and this prophecy is true and just having been fulfilled.

5 For verily this generation shall not all pass away until an house shall be built unto the Lord, and a cloud shall rest upon it, which cloud shall be even the glory of the Lord, which shall fill the house.
175H14-175H20, from Heavenly Father: "He spoke: 'Raphael, R.S. wrote you a question about the future of our sick, disabled or aged elect. He thought they could easily give up.
We have provisions for every one of our elect children who are humble and desire to come to Zion. Part of the mission of our 144,000 will be to seek these elect from all sectors of the earth, and bring them to Zion, the pure in heart. They will be transported in the portal of our gathering servants, and brought to the centerplace of Zion, even the New Jerusalem. They will not be required of themselves to walk to Zion, like others who have the strength will do.
There is room for all at the New Jerusalem and our cities of Zion that surround her, including the disabled and weak in their body or spirit. We will succor the weak, lift up the hands that hang down, and strengthen the feeble knees (see D&C 81:5). We ask that every citizen of Zion do the same also, so that all feel accepted and a part of the whole, and equal in status. They should be treated equally even if they have a physical, spiritual, emotional or mental disability or weakness, or are aged or weak.
Coming to the terrestrial land of Zion wil be very healing to our disabled. They will find their ailments will usually lessen or become even completely healed. Such is the inheritance of all who come to Zion.
We have decreed that the poor who are pure in heart, and the meek of the earth will inhabit Zion and the terrestrial earth, while the proud and haughty will never see the land or partake of her glories.
D&C 56:18
"But blessed are the poor who are pure in heart, whose hearts are broken, and whose spirits are contrite, for they shall see the kingdom of God coming in power and great glory unto their deliverance; for the fatness of the earth shall be theirs."'
I thanked my Father for his tender words for the disabled, the weak, the aged, and for the poor in spirit whose hearts are contrite and humble. These are the people I feel most comfortable being with."

Doctrine & Covenants 84:19
19 And this greater priesthood administereth the gospel and holdeth the key of the mysteries of the kingdom, even the key of the knowledge of God.
Sun, Sep 24, 2023
These are keys inherent in the Melchizedek Priesthood. Therefore, where this priesthood is conferred, these keys are also conferred.
185J7-185J18: "I then asked my Father if I had to possess the greater priesthood which "holds the key of the mysteries of the kingdom, even the key of the knowledge of God" (see D&C 84:19).
I said that I had read D&C 84:21-24 the following:
"And without the ordinances thereof (of the higher priesthood of Melchizedek), and the authority of the priesthood, the power of godliness is not manifested unto men in the flesh;
For without this no man can see the face of God, even the Father, and live.
Now this Moses plainly taught to the children of Israel in the wilderness, and sought diligently to sanctify his people that they might behold the face of God;
But they hardened their hearts and could not endure his presence;"
Heavenly Father responded to my question: 'Raphael, you live in the day when my higher priesthood has been restored to the earth, even through Joseph Smith my seer. You have been ordained to my priesthood and it is active in you. Therefore you may, as you are open and diligent in seeking to behold my face, see me even as I am.
The children of Israel hardened their hearts and would not seek my face. They did not pray to me in faith as they were instructed to do, and would not even get in a quiet and meditative state so that our Spirit could lead and guide them. They did not follow the admonition of their priesthood leader Moses, but allowed their minds to continue to grovel in the mortal cares of their day.
In your day, with the priesthood active in your life, and upon the earth, we again are extending to everyone of our chosen elect, the opportunity to progress in their lives and to ultimately behold our faces, even the faces of God. This applies to every one of our elect sons and daughters. We will gladly lead each one along to one day come into our presence and behold our faces. We will reward their diligent effort in pressing forth in faith to invite us into their lives. We will sanctify each one, through the merits of our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, who will cleanse them and bring them, when they are proven ready, into our presence. They then will behold our faces even as you behold me today.
We will lead our faithful elect, even as we have led you, into our presence so that they too might have us continually by their sides. They too will need to quiet down their mortal lives, be diligent in meditation and prayer, and rend that veil that obscured their unconscious mind. Once they come into our presence, we will lift this veil and allow them to see us even as you see us. At first, it will be like seeing "through a glass darkly" (1 Corinthians 13:12), but eventually "face to face".
Once they are privileged to view our faces, they will feel the great light, peace and serenity that comes from us. This will be a witness to them that they are truly in our presence, and will assure them that what we communicate to them is from us, their Gods.
In this way their faith will grow by degrees, even until their faith and assurance becomes sure knowledge. Then, were we to ask them to do something in our behalf, they would have the faith necessary to activate our power and authority to have it be done, even according to our will. This is the state that some of our ancients arrived at when they could command the elements and nature, and they would obey their commands.'
I then gazed upon my Father in my meditation and in my prayer. I paused from writing, and just sought to muster and sharpen my vision so it became clearer. My Heavenly Father had all the time needed for me to survey him with my spiritual eyes (see Moses 1:27-28), and gave to me of his Holy Spirit so that these channels of sight could be more clear to me. I particularly was drawn into my Father's face, where I beheld him smiling. I loved his eternity eyes that were so deep and full of peace and control! I felt his peace, love and acceptance flow into me with the light that came from him. I felt very complete and whole, like I was doing what he wanted me to do, and becoming more and more one with him.
Heavenly Father spoke again: 'Raphael, what you are experiencing is part of the process and path we want each of our elect sons and daughters to have. We want them to press forward in faith "with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope" (2 Nephi 31:20). In this steadiness and increasing faith, they may be led to behold our faces and ultimately to have eternal life.
This is the true path and process:
2 Nephi 31:21
"And now, behold, my beloved brethren, this is the way; and there is none other way nor name given under heaven whereby man can be saved in the kingdom of God. And now, behold, this is the doctrine of Christ, and the only and true doctrine of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost (who is your Heavenly Mother), which is one God, without end. Amen." (words in parenthesis from Heavenly Father).'
I continued to look upon the face of my Heavenly Father. I then realized I was in my private room, still beholding his face before my mind, in a sort of visionary view. He smiled again and I closed my prayer in the name of Jesus. Even after I closed my prayer, I could still see him before me, in my mind's "spiritual" eye. I felt his peace still in my heart."

30 And again, the offices of teacher and deacon are necessary appendages belonging to the lesser priesthood, which priesthood was confirmed upon Aaron and his sons.
36D10-36D14: "I then asked my Heavenly Father what the two halves of my full-body shells meant, and what I was to do with these shells. They were next to me still, in my bedroom on a dresser or a table.
Heavenly Father told me to write, and he would give me the answer as I wrote, so that is what I am now doing in my prayer, with pen in hand:
From Heavenly Father: 'Raphael, you have this set of shells, plus two more to remove before you are fully able to teleport. One more will remain after that, and will be removed in your class next Saturday with all those in attendance. This will make seven total shells, which you will have removed at that time.
This shell comes in two halves, front and back, and represents the frailties of your human physical body. You wrote in your journal that you felt like you now have a new baby skin, and that you feel vulnerable. It does seem vulnerable when the body changes and shed the old weaknesses and imperfections that once you felt protected you. These protections are associated with your physical body. As a holy angel, you will be renewed in your physical body. See D&C 84:30-'For whoso is faithful unto the obtaining these two priesthoods of which I have spoken, and the magnifying their calling, are sanctified by the Spirit unto the renewing of their bodies.'. This renewing you will have is similar to that spoken of in the scripture, but more extensive, for you are both translated and transfigured in your physical body. The renewal will altogether change your physical makeup, and complete your transfiguration process. You will feel more and more 'new' and fresh, although your age won't change.
The two halves of you physical body shell will stay by you until the renewal process is completed. You may check-in to view them, as you inwardly change. They will start becoming thinner and thinner until they altogether disappear. At that point your renewal process will be completed. This renewal will be finished on Thursday, 11-24-2016.
This same process will also occur for all the mortal angels starting today. They too will have this renewal process completed on Thanksgiving, 11-24-2016. You have described this in your journal as you will, which will also happen to them in a similar way, although they may not consciously be aware of this change.'
I then asked if what I had written was correct and pleasing to my Father. He confirmed to me it was accurate. I then asked that the mortal angels be able to sense some changes in their bodies this week. I hope some will feel these changes."

Doctrine & Covenants 84:43-53
43 And I now give unto you a commandment to beware concerning yourselves, to give diligent heed to the words of eternal life.
44 For you shall live by every word that proceedeth forth from the mouth of God.
45 For the word of the Lord is truth, and whatsoever is truth is light, and whatsoever is light is Spirit, even the Spirit of Jesus Christ.
46 And the Spirit giveth light to every man that cometh into the world; and the Spirit enlighteneth every man through the world, that hearkeneth to the voice of the Spirit.
47 And every one that hearkeneth to the voice of the Spirit cometh unto God, even the Father.
48 And the Father teacheth him of the covenant which he has renewed and confirmed upon you, which is confirmed upon you for your sakes, and not for your sakes only, but for the sake of the whole world.
49 And the whole world lieth in sin, and groaneth under darkness and under the bondage of sin.
50 And by this you may know they are under the bondage of sin, because they come not unto me.
51 For whoso cometh not unto me is under the bondage of sin.
52 And whoso receiveth not my voice is not acquainted with my voice, and is not of me.
53 And by this you may know the righteous from the wicked, and that the whole world groaneth under sin and darkness even now.
140G3-140G11, from Heavenly Mother: "She spoke: 'Raphael, you have wondered this morning in your mind how our mortal angels could become changed to a terrestrial glory in their mortal physical bodies, and yet be translated to a celestial glory in their replicated physical bodies as they labor for us in the celestial realms on the earth.
Right now these changes haven't happened, but will soon. Our mortal angels are telestial beings on earth with the shields of the Father. They currently labor as translated celestial beings in their replicated selves in the celestial realms on the earth. We will simply change their telestial mortal beings to that of a terrestrial being on earth. They will remain unchanged in their celestial state where they labor for us in the celestial realms on the earth. To others on earth, they will appear unchanged, for they will still live in their homes and work and live side by side with the other telestial inhabitants in their families and communities.
For the astute elect, they will realize there is a change in the nature or being of themselves and of those who have similarly changed. There will be a different aura or glow about them that they will be able to distinguish. Those who remain telestial will mostly not be able to tell the difference between the telestial and those elevated to the terrestrial. Satan and his hosts will immediately be able to tell the difference, for they will not be able to any longer attach to the outside of their shields of the Father for those changed to a terrestrial level. They will no longer be able to influence these elect except through others who will succumb to their temptations, which will bring sorrow to the terrestrial.
We, who are the Heavenly Parents of all of our children, may reward or bless those of our sons and daughters as we wish. This is our plan in the near future for our elect. This is the entire separation of the righteous from the wicked (D&C 63:54). We choose the righteous based on their diligent heed to our Spirit.
D&C 84:43-53
"And now I give unto you a commandment to beware concerning yourselves, to give diligent heed to the words of eternal life.
For you shall live by every word that proceedeth forth from the mouth of God.
For the word of the Lord is truth, and whatsoever is truth is light, and whatsoever is light is Spirit, even the Spirit of Jesus Christ.
And the Spirit giveth light to every man (and woman) that cometh into the world; and the Spirit enlighteneth every man (and woman) through the world, that hearkeneth to the voice of the Spirit.
And every one that hearkeneth to the voice of the Spirit cometh unto God, even the Father (and the Mother).
And the Father (and the Mother) teacheth him (or her) of the covenant which he has (they have) renewed and confirmed upon you (Raphael), which is confirmed upon you for your sakes, and not for your sakes only, but for the sake of the whole world.
And the whole world lieth in sin, and groaneth under darkness and under the bondage of sin.
And by this you may know they are under the bondage of sin, because they come not unto me (who is Jesus Christ).
For whoso cometh not unto me is under the bondage of sin (and Satan has power to tempt and to try them).
And whoso receiveth not my voice is not acquainted with my voice, and is not of me.
And by this you may know the righteous from the wicked, and that the whole world groaneth under sin and darkness even now." (Words in parentheses added by Heavenly Mother)
At this very moment Jesus Christ, my great Redeemer, appeared on the right side of Heavenly Mother in the air, and both were standing by the waterfall!
He spoke: 'Raphael, the words that you have in your scriptures in these verses were given originally by me to Joseph Smith, Jun., my prophet. Our Heavenly Mother has renewed them again, changing them slightly, and given them to you in light of the new changes that are coming upon our elect who hearken to the voice of the Spirit and keep our commandments. This is possible because of the covenant that Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother have renewed upon you (see verse 48 above as modified by Heavenly Mother). We will preserve our elect in the coming days by elevating them from a telestial state of glory to a terrestrial state of glory, even while they are living in their mortal telestial world.'
Both my Mother and Savior beamed their witnessing light upon me at this time. I knew what they had spoken was true and would soon come to pass! I thanked them humbly for their remarkable words and confirmations to my soul! I told them I would always seek them and follow their Spirit and the commandments that they would continue to give me. I said I loved them, for I would keep their counsels.
They then both returned in a column of light back to the glorious temple of God behind them. I was left alone at the waterfall and closed my prayer."

Doctrine & Covenants 84:45-46
45 For the word of the Lord is truth, and whatsoever is truth is light, and whatsoever is light is Spirit, even the Spirit of Jesus Christ.
46 And the Spirit giveth light to every man that cometh into the world; and the Spirit enlighteneth every man through the world, that hearkeneth to the voice of the Spirit.
89B9-89B14, from Heavenly Mother: "'Raphael, I am glad you came here to our holy house, our temple! This is where I inspired you to come to me tonight! I have shared with you this morning how light energizes our creations and allows them to function, act, move, grow, and so forth. I would like to expand more on this creation process tonight.
When we birthed our spirit children, the intelligence came into me from the Father during our procreation process. This intelligence grew in my womb and was enlarged by the spirit matter from my own body. At this same time, I infused light into the growing fetus so he/she could fully function and grow in the proper order. When I birthed this spirit baby, he/she had been filled with not only spirit matter, but also light that I directed there.
Once our spirit child was born, your Father and I continued to infuse him/her with light. Our infant grew and became eventually a fully-grown spirit son or daughter. There was no time in all of this growth that light was not present.
Without the infusion of light into all such birthing processes of our animals and plants, there could be no growth. The light from the bosom of eternity from our first Gods is therefore redirected by us, who are Gods in our own domains, into every living entity in it. This is the basic power of life of all of our creations, even the power of God, which sustains all the universe. This light comes to us from the immensity of space to our galactic center and then we disperse it to all our locations.
In this eternity, this same light is called the light of Jesus Christ, for all things are done in the name of Our Only Begotten Son.
D&C 84:45-46
"For the word of the Lord is truth, and whatsoever is truth is light, and whatsoever is light is Spirit, even the Spirit of Jesus Christ.
And the Spirit giveth light to every man that cometh into the world; and the Spirit enlighteneth every man through the world, that hearkeneth to the voice of the Spirit."
In this scripture, light is synonymous with Spirit, even the Spirit of Jesus Christ. It is this same substance that comes into our galaxy that we disperse, even light from the immensity of space, from the bosom of eternity. This Spirit or light is created by our first Gods and flows into all the universe, their creations.
In our domain, in this eternity, since we do all things in the name of the Son, all of this light or Spirit is called after his name and power:
D&C 45:7
"For verily I say unto you that I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the light and the life of the world-a light that shineth in darkness and the darkness comprehendeth it not."
For our children, Jesus Christ is truly the beginning and the end, Alpha and Omega, for without him there would be no eternal life of these our children until he ransoms them from the fall, elects them into the Church of the Firstborn, and introduces them to us. All come unto us through him. He also has our same power to direct the light that comes into our galaxy and to all our creations of this eternity. It is truly through him that life is sustained for our eternity, for we do all of this in his name for our children.'"
102G5-125G6, from Heavenly Mother: "5. 'Raphael, I want to walk upstream into my beautiful mountain forest. Would you care to come with me?'
I immediately stood and said I would be so very happy to be with her! She took my arm in hers and we started walking up the path. I saw us both walking, from a different perspective somehow, even until we both had turned the corner and were out of sight. I wasn't privy to what we talked about. I do feel full of peace, however. I then closed my prayer and got ready for a new day.
As I got ready to take pictures of my journal pages for my sister K to type up, I received an email from one of those who receive my email posts. Here is what he wrote me:
"11-26-2018
R,
Your last email you discussed an experience at Lake Beautiful. The wind started, thunder, lightning and a storm was upon you. Heavenly Mother caused a column of light to surround you and around you it was peace and calm.
This message has been repeated to me many times in prayer. Each of us that comes in prayer and humbly seeks God, during the calamities that will come, will be filled with peace and the love of God. I also felt this was true of the battle pre-mortally. Those who sought for guidance, love and protection from our Heavenly Parents received it. But not all their children had this same desire.
Thanks for your message."
This message was very timely for me! I feel what he said was so true."
116H1-116H9: "I had a portion of my sleep last night where I was awake, so I listened from my cell phone to the remainder of M.S.'s podcast on the Holy Spirit. This is the light of Christ. He quoted other scriptures, including D&C 84:46 "And the Spirit giveth light to every man that cometh into the world; and the Spirit enlighteneth every man through the world, that hearkeneth to the voice of the Spirit", and D&C 93:2 "And that I am the true light that lighteth every man that cometh into the world."
M.S. also said that the Spirit that is promised in the sacrament prayer (see D&C 20:77, 79) is this light of Christ, also called the Holy Spirit. This is the Spirit that is given to those who hearken to the voice of the Spirit and are true to their sacrament covenant.
I was curious when this sacrament prayer changes for the faithful and when, like for me, I am told the presence of Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother will always be with me, not just the Holy Spirit or the light of Christ. I started my prayer this morning at the granite cliff at the upper east end of Heavenly Mother's upper garden. I was facing God's temple to my west. It was early morning here. I could hear the mountain birds chirping in the trees below me. I knelt and asked for my loving Heavenly Parents, or one of them to come to me in answer to my prayer.
I then saw a column of light, or a beam of light come directly from the distant temple directly to me! Heavenly Mother immediately appeared before me at the end of this light channel in which she traveled to me.
She was bright and glorious! Her hair was gently blowing and her eyes were sparkling. She was smiling broadly too. I felt so much love and acceptance in her presence!
Heavenly Mother then spoke: 'Raphael, you are again feeling the intense light coming from my presence, even the light of the Holy Ghost. The light matter and light energy you feel and perceive is the same source of light that flows to all of our creations as the Holy Spirit, or the light of Christ. As you can tell, when I shine and project this light upon you as the Holy Ghost, it is much more intense and is accompanied by my emotion of love and acceptance, like I sent to you today, or other emotions that I may send.
When the newly baptized members of the Church of Christ partake of the sacrament, they follow the prayers given by the priesthood holder who administers the sacrament. If sincere and faithful to their covenants, we, in turn, send to them the Holy Spirit, or the light of Christ in more abundance. This is the Spirit spoken of in the sacrament prayers given each week.
There is a time in the lives of our elect when they have proven faithful and Jesus Christ elects them into the Church of the Firstborn, and appears unto them and promises them eternal life. This is making their calling and election sure. At that point, Jesus Christ then may introduce our elect child to us again. We then come to him or her and renew our relationship with them. At that point, the prayer of the sacrament will change for them. They will continue taking upon them the name of Jesus Christ, and then will always remember us, their Heavenly Parents, and will keep our commandments we give to them. We in turn will send to them the higher light, or the light and presence of the Holy Ghost, or our very presence to be with them. We covenant directly with them at that time with this slightly changed wording and covenant.
We have Jesus Christ, our Great Redeemer and our Beloved Son, to bring our faithful to that point and then they are brought into our very presence. Once this is done, he has fully judged and redeemed them, for they could not come into our presences without being fully cleansed and purified by Jesus Christ. We then covenant directly with our elect son or daughter as they continue making this new covenant at the sacrament in their own mind. We begin promising that both Heavenly Father and I will always be with them.
Once our son or daughter is finally admitted into the Church of the Firstborn by the waters of separation ordinance, they may continue partaking of the sacrament given in the Church of Christ, as they are able. The Church of Christ and the sacrament are part of the mortal earth. We may occasionally have the sacrament blessed and passed to our faithful on our celestial orb or on the future earth in its celestial resurrected state, but on a regular basis it is administered by the Church of Christ on the mortal earth.'"

Doctrine & Covenants 84:46-47
46 And the Spirit giveth light to every man that cometh into the world; and the Spirit enlighteneth every man through the world, that hearkeneth to the voice of the Spirit.
47 And every one that hearkeneth to the voice of the Spirit cometh unto God, even the Father.
189C5-189C13, from Heavenly Father: "He spoke to my mind: "Raphael, when our sons and daughters, created in our very image, come to the earth for their mortal experience. We respond to them based on the effort and diligence they have in coming unto us in prayer and mediation. We give our Spirit to all our children equally, based on how they hearken to the voice of this Spirit. We are no respecter of persons, and do the same for each one, according to their diligence and obedience.
Some respond very quickly, even as Jesus Christ did, who was foreordained from the beginning. However, we revealed ourselves to him based on his heed and diligence in exercising faith in our Spirit, even as we do for all our mortal children.
D&C 84: 46-47
"And the Spirit giveth light to every man (and woman and child) that cometh into the world; and the Spirit enlighteneth every man, (woman and child) through the world, that hearkeneth to the voice of the Spirit.
And every one that hearkeneth to the voice of the Spirit cometh unto God, even the Father." Words in parentheses from Heavenly Father).
Some think that one of our children had or have extra access to our Spirit from the beginning more than another, but this is not true. We know, however, beforehand the hearts of all of our children, and know who will respond and who will not, and how diligent each will press forward when we reveal ourselves gradually to them. The righteous come unto me, but the wicked do not, for "they receiveth not my voice, (and are) not acquainted with my voice, and (are) not of me." (D&C 84:52)
Raphael, we knew you well before you were born in the flesh. We had planned to awaken you to your great calling later in life, even as we did. We orchestrated events and taught you, gradually revealing ourselves to you as you diligently inquired of us in faith. You are where you are today because of your efforts in coming unto us, your Gods, and in following our Spirit as we gradually revealed ourselves to you. Thus may all men and women also receive from us, and learn of their own standing and calling before us.'
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his and Heavenly Mother's extreme fairness to each of their mortal children. They give it free to all of their children (2 Nephi 26: 27), and "all men are privileged the one like unto another, and none are forbidden" (verse 28), and "he denieth none that come unto him, black and white, bond and free, male and female; and he remembered the heathen; and all are alike unto God, both Jew and Gentile." (verse 33).
I said to my Father that my mind has been expanded and enlightened with his and Heavenly Mother's teachings on this topic! I expressed my deep love to him.
He then pulled me close to his body in a full embrace. He spoke quietly to my mind: 'Raphael, oh we would that all would hearken to us, their Heavenly Parents, even as you have done and as the great exemplar our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, has done! The way is straight before each one if they will only listen and obey our gentle promptings and nudges we give them through our Spirit!'
I looked upon his face and saw tears in his loving eyes. I know he and Heavenly Mother yearn to reconnect to each one of their beloved children, but many reject their voice, and only languish in unbelief and estrangement from God."

Doctrine & Covenants 84:54
54 And your minds in times past have been darkened because of unbelief, and because you have treated lightly the things you have received
113F1-113F12: "I immediately came to the celestial world where I had previously come last night, where my personal shells had been buried. It seemed dark out, but I could see the not to distant tree of life aglow. The fruits of the tree were shining like a Christmas tree lit up! I knelt in the soil where I was, faced the tree of life and asked my Heavenly Parents or one of them, to come to me.
I then thought of these scriptures:
D&C 84:54
"And your minds in times past have been darkened because of unbelief, and because you have treated lightly the things you have received-"
D&C 84:116
"Let him trust in me and he shall not be confounded; and a hair of his head shall not fall to the ground unnoticed."
I was pondering if I have had unbelief, which has caused my mind to be darkened. I wondered if I have not sufficiently trusted in my Gods. At this time I felt the darkness all around me, even like it was cold. I looked at the distant tree of life and yearned to have its light in me. At this time, Heavenly Mother appeared in her brightness in front of me! She was very bright and majestic. Her light beamed upon and through me, so that there was no place in me that was not brightly illuminated! I could feel her light purge out any darkness of unbelief in my entire body!
I then thought of Alma 32:35:
"O, then, is not this real? I say unto you, Yea, because it is light and whatsoever is light, is good, because it is discernible, therefore ye must know that it is good; and now behold, after ye have tasted this light is your knowledge perfect?"
Heavenly Mother spoke: 'Raphael, you can feel the light of my countenance streaming through all of your body. You are able to perceive with your mind all, yea, every part of your body, from your head to your toes, that are all illuminated and filled with my Godly light! In this state of stillness, there is no room for darkness and unbelief. This is discernible light and you know it is real.
I want you twice a day, when you eat your spoonful of coconut oil for your brain cognition, to visualize this light, starting at your head and expanding throughout your body, even to your toes, so that all is filled with discernible light. This will be my light, very tangible and real, which you may discern even as you discern and know today that it is very real. As you do this twice a day, think these words: "My body is completely filled with the light of my Heavenly Mother that is discernible and real! I fully know that I am Raphael, her archangel of light, with a mission to do whatever she and Heavenly Father direct me to do."
This practice will be equivalent to nourishing your belief and driving out all the darkness of unbelief that used to exist, even in a small amount, in your body.
This scripture will apply to you
Alma 32:41-43
"But if ye will nourish the word, yea, nourish the tree (replace this with the light that now fills your entire body) as it beginneth to grow, by your faith with great diligence, and with patience, (this is done by you diligently twice a day) looking forward to the fruit thereof, it shall take root; and behold it shall be a tree (or an internal light in you) springing up unto everlasting life.
And because of your diligence and your faith and your patience with the word in nourishing it, that it may take root in you, behold, by and by ye shall pluck the fruit thereof, (Raphael, the fruit we want you to have is to have my light beaming from inside you to fill every part of your body, giving you great confidence and strength in whatever direction we may tell you at the time) which is most precious, which is sweet above all that is sweet, and which is white above all that is white, yea, and pure above all that is pure; and ye shall feast upon this fruit even until ye are filled, that ye hunger not, neither shall ye thirst.
Then, my brethren, (Raphael, this refers specifically to you and each of our mortal angels and celestial servants now gaining strength and light from me, their Heavenly Mother and the Holy Ghost), ye shall reap the rewards of your faith, and your diligence, and patience, and long-suffering, waiting for the tree to bring forth fruit unto you (or waiting for you to become continually aware of my discernible light to fill every part of your body and being, driving out unbelief and darkness)." ' (parentheses added by Heavenly Mother)
At this time, Heavenly Mother was broadly smiling; her eternity eyes were sparkling with love and light. She was standing in brilliant light in front of me. I could see her light penetrate me and fill my entire body, kneeling on the soft soil in front of her. I could perceive her light going through me and into the air and soil around me and below me, even penetrating some distance, like 10 feet or so before it stopped. I was completely engulfed in her very real and tangible light! I felt very "one" with her, synched with her mind somehow, knowing her thoughts for me.
As I soaked up her light, I could perceive little areas of slight pain in my mind, in my head area, become activated and then be illuminated by the light from my Heavenly Mother and then be swished away by the flow of light away from me.
I then examined other parts of my body with my mind. I saw around my heart a film of some kind loosening under the flow of her light and then being also moved away and out of my body. I saw my heart filled with intense light also.
I saw my throat start to be cleared of obstructions so that I could freely speak under the influence of the Spirit, even of the Holy Ghost. I could see scales from my eyes, like those probably of Saul of old, that fell from his eyes when he received his sight after three days (see Acts 9:9-18). These scales came off and blew away under the steady stream of light from my Heavenly Mother in front of me.
Next I perceived there were some shells around my ears that were loosened from both of my ears. This too was quickly moved off and away from my body.
As I perceived my entire body, from my head to my toes, I could only discern directed rays of light going in and through me, with no obstructions. I was fully transparent before the beaming light from my Heavenly Mother! It was an amazing experience! I was literally filled with the Spirit, even the light from my Heavenly Mother before me.
Heavenly Mother spoke: 'Raphael, as you practice this same experience, twice a day while taking your pure coconut oil from your spoon, I will again fill you with my light. This will be discernible and real to you. Do this alone, in a meditative and quiet state. My light will begin filling your body at your head and proceed into your entire body, so that your entire body will be filled with my light twice a day. Once you are filled with my light, perceive how it feels. Examine with your mind all areas of your body, and truly experience what it feels like to be completely filled with my light. Feel the light start to shine from you to all areas around you. We want you to become our angel of light, beaming forth our light and power. How can you do this without gaining the ability to do so by your own mind? We want you to hide this light in the presence of others for now, but to become skilled at being able to shine forth my very light when your Heavenly Father or I want you to do so. This will all be controlled by your mind and by our will.
While you are developing this ability and strength, we also want each one of our mortal angels and mortal celestial servants to practice and do this too. They would also do well to take coconut oil twice a day as will you be doing. Alternatively, they could do it when drinking water instead of eating coconut oil. They, too, will be filled with this light by me as they practice. This tangible method, done twice a day, will help them clarify their minds, feel my light in its intensity, and eliminate blockages in their body that are preventing them each from becoming our children and servants of light we desire them to become. Once filled with light, they will perceive more fully the will of us, their Gods, for them. This will all be done in their mortal conscious mind. This will take faith and diligence.'
I was still being filled with the intense light of my Heavenly Mother. She then stopped the flow of light from her presence. She was next at a light glow in the darkness, still standing in front of me. I could then discern all of her light was gone from flowing through me. I felt, however, very peaceful and so clear and happy!"

August 4-7, 2024:
I have been wondering if there is an unspoken agenda in the LDS Church to divert away from Christ and his teachings. My son A and granddaughter Raphael recently attended the "Together in Christ" YSA conference this past weekend where there was a sponsored rock dance. It seems that the church is accepting the values of the youth in order to attract the youth. This also happened years ago at BYU when I first attended this school, giving me a shock that the true church would stoop to the values of the world by sponsoring rock concerts on campus that were obviously void of the Spirit. I never attended these. Nowadays, it is even more pronounced, with groups of youth all jumping up and down in a circle, pushing inward. It is a frenzied event in my mind! Some have even been injured and trampled in such "dances". This is what the church sponsored this weekend for the YSA conference. They also sponsored a rock concert.
After explaining to Heavenly Father all about what I saw at the "Together in Christ" YSA conference this past weekend, as well as looking through the Liahona and Youth magazines recently, Heavenly Father asked that I write his words. The words below came to me over several days, as I was ill on and off, and got snatches here and there. At each time, I was in a prayerful and meditative state, ready to write his words. Here is what I have written:
"Raphael, your Heavenly Mother and I have removed our priesthood and Spirit from the presiding leadership of the LDS Church in 2018, now over six years ago. However, many of the members are diligently seeking to do what is right, and respond to our Spirit and the Holy Ghost as we send these personally to them. There are many of my elect in this church who also follow diligently the teachings and doctrines promoted by their leaders.
Raphael, there is still so much good in this telestial church, above other churches in the world. Administering of the sacrament among the wards and branches of the church is particularly pleasing to us. Yesterday, when you were driving back to your home from the YSA conference in Salt Lake City, we came to you individually as you and your family partook of the sacrament in the historic LDS Second Ward building. You enjoyed viewing in that building the stained glass window depiction of the First Vision to the young prophet Joseph Smith. This meeting house was built in a time when the LDS Church had many humble and lowly saints and was not worldly and rich like it is today.
You had a question about a new emphasis that the modern-day LDS church has taken with the aggressive construction of new temples worldwide, and an increased emphasis on temple work and identifying deceased ancestors (family history). Secondly, you also felt that the titles of talks in LDS magazines and conferences might have a reference to Jesus Christ, but the content was on something else. You wondered if this was on purpose, to mention Jesus Christ in introductions and titles, but then to talk about something altogether different in the body of the message. You said that it is now uncommon to hear in church someone talk of seeking for a relationship with Jesus Christ, or of developing the attributes of Jesus in their personal life.
Our presence has departed from all of the LDS current and future temples and meeting houses.
D&C 63:61-64: "Wherefore, let all men beware how they take my name in their lips
For behold, verily I say, that many there be who are under this condemnation, who use the name of the Lord, and use it in vain, having not authority.
Wherefore, let the church repent of their sins, and I, the Lord, will own them; otherwise they shall be cut off.
Remember that that which cometh from above is sacred, and must be spoken with care, and by constraint of the Spirit; and in this there is no condemnation, and ye receive the Spirit through prayer; wherefore, without this there remaineth condemnation."
D&C 124:32 ". . . and if you do not these things at the end of the appointment ye shall be rejected as a church, with your dead, saith the Lord your God."
The church has not repented, and the church is now under condemnation and is cut off from our presence.
We have rejected all of the current temple work for the living and the dead. None of these ordinances are now recorded in heaven. All of these records on the earth will be destroyed at the second coming of Jesus Christ, for they are telestial records. They are of no efficacy in our eternal realm. The current leadership says otherwise, but this is false and not true doctrine.
Satan subtly leads these men in an increasing measure in the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve. His plan is to gradually and quietly lead the church away from Christ and his teachings, discounting a personal relationship with him and a need to seek his face (see D&C 93:1). Satan wants the members to focus on outward actions such as temple and family history work, saying it is all from Christ and God, or that doing those actions are truly doing Christ's work.
You are also correct that the LDS Church makes an illusion that its focus is on Jesus Christ, but is in reality on something else. We have rejected all of the recent temple work, and there is no need anymore to identify ancestral records for temple work, now or in the future.
In our millennial day, when new terrestrial temples are built, and temple ordinances are renewed, the identifying of the deceased who are our elect will be given by revelation from heaven, and not from searching records of the dead. We will only have temple work performed for the elect, and not for anyone else. Additionally, in the millennium, the only eternally-binding proxy work we will accept in temples of the Church of Christ will be baptisms for the dead and the conferring of the Gift of the Holy Ghost for the dead. The priesthood and high priestess conferrals for the dead, all washings and anointings, endowments and sealings, for the living or the dead, are non-binding eternally in these future terrestrial temples of the Church of Christ. Those have also always been preparatory-only ordinances in the LDS Church. The eternally-binding ordinances will be administered later in the celestial realms in celestial temples. See your post 82 for a detailed explanation [given below].
The emphasis of the LDS Church on building more and more temples, and of doing more and more temple work is misguided. This direction is from man and not us, their Gods. This also applies to all research work in identifying the dead.
In addition, missionary work as promoted in the LDS Church, has greatly lessened in importance, as we are in an expanding new phase of the gathering of our elect. This new phase began with your great commission on May 14, 2017 (see 53U6-53U8 and 188I2-188I8). The current active gathering of the elect whom I have chosen is being done in an entirely different manner in these last days, just prior to the return of Jesus Christ. I am gathering the chosen elect by my servants in higher terrestrial and celestial spiritual realms, and by our Spirit and the Holy Ghost. These are in ways never done before and not known to the people or the leaders of churches.
Today is the day of our strange work, and our strange act (Isaiah 28:21). We will bring forth a marvelous work and a wonder (Isaiah 29:14), and gather our elect to holy places of safety (D&C 45:32), and teach them personally of our truths by the Holy Ghost. Ultimately, all of our elect will be caught up in the clouds of heaven when Jesus Christ returns, while the wicked who remain on the telestial earth are burned with fire. This will start a new terrestrial world of peace and a great outpouring of truth for our chosen elect."
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his words! I plan to spend the next few days in confirmation of all that is written above, being sure that there are none of my own words or thoughts in what is written, but that all is from my Heavenly Father.
See also my notes in Isaiah 52:1 about the rejection of the church.
Later: I have confirmed that what I have written above is of God and not me. If there are faults, they are my grammatical errors and faults.
82K4-82K9, June 11, 2018, from Heavenly Mother: ". . . The sealing of families together by ordinances in the LDS temple has prepared the minds of the Latter-day Saints to think of temple work as being forever binding. Effort in searching your dead helps you know your heritage, but is not necessary for sealing families together for eternity, as is currently taught in the LDS Church.
The true doctrine is that each individual whom Jesus Christ approves, . . . for entrance in the Church of the Firstborn, will be able to receive their own temple ordinances in the New Jerusalem Temple and in the temple in heaven. These are final and binding ordinances for those individuals.
The temple ordinances in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are preparatory to the final ordinances to be performed on earth in the New Jerusalem temple. In D&C 128, Joseph Smith, the prophet, received a revelation on baptism for the dead. The ordinance of baptism is one which resides in The Church of Christ and is not part of the ordinances to be performed in the Church of the Firstborn. Your baptism 51 years ago, and those done with true priesthood authority for the living and the dead in the LDS Church are valid and binding. The ordinances of washing and anointing, endowments, and sealing in the LDS temples are not valid in eternity. These are preparatory, preparing the minds and hearts of the people for their final binding ordinances in the Church of the Firstborn, performed by our holy angels and by us, their Gods.
The sealing of individuals together as husband to wife and wife to husband, will be done in heaven in our holy temple, by Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ or myself. These are binding ordinances for eternity.
The sealing of children to their parents, an ordinance also now done in the LDS temples, is one which will be done by us, your Gods, and only for those who have received their ordinances in our temple up to that point, in the Church of the Firstborn. We will not honor sealings of spouses to each other, or of children to their parents in the LDS Church. These were always meant to be performed in the Church of the Firstborn, and they have always been part of the progression for our exalted children.
The practice of searching for your dead is necessary to adequately identify relationships of ancestors so that their baptisms for the dead may be performed. The bestowal of the Gift of the Holy Ghost by the laying on of the hands by the priesthood is also valid for the dead and the living. The one holding the priesthood in performing this ordinance and the baptism ordinance needs to be valid and approved of God.
However, the laying on of hands for the conferral of the priesthood in the temple is not valid for eternity for the dead. It is valid for the living. For the dead who have not received the priesthood, this will be done by the angels in the New Jerusalem temple if the man hasn't yet received the priesthood. This same procedure is applicable to the office of High Priestess for the women.
All other ordinances in the LDS Church are not valid in eternity. Only these higher ordinances that are valid and binding for eternity are done in the Church of the Firstborn."
63E9-63E13: "Heavenly Father then wanted me to write the words he would speak to me. I feel very directed now in writing his words:
'Raphael, we are displeased in the direction that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is currently teaching through their leaders about personal revelation. We are revealing to our children who will listen to our work, our strange work, and to our act, our strange act. We try in many ways to influence and reveal our direction to our faithful children, but many of them reject these promptings because of false teachings like promoted by Elder Oaks. These teachings are subtle, but they undermine the very foundation of revelation and connection to God. We have rejected, therefore, this church because of these sorts of teachings.
We require the humble, open heart and mind of our children. We desire to connect to them and to lead them gently along as we have you and these mortal angels who sustain you.
Speaking of our revelations:
"But those who harden their hearts in unbelief, and reject it, it shall turn to their own condemnation." (D&C 20:15)
This condemnation has brought the whole church under condemnation:
"And this condemnation resteth upon the children of Zion, even all. And they shall remain under this condemnation until they repent and remember the new covenant, even the Book of Mormon, and the former commandments which I have given them, not only to say but to do according to that which I have written-that they may bring forth fruit meet for their Father's kingdom; otherwise there remaineth a scourge and judgment to be poured out upon the children of Zion. For shall the children of the kingdom pollute my holy land? Verily, I say unto you, nay." (D&C 84: 55-59)'
I could tell that my Father and Mother were very firm in what they said. They are displeased with these attitudes that are being taught. I thanked them for their clear direction and the strength of their answers this morning.
I was ready now to start my day. I then felt to kneel down again from writing in the chair in my journal. I saw then the 'hot displeasure look' on the faces of my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother! I had somehow stirred up in them perhaps a subject that greatly displeased them. They were both looking beyond me to those members of the LDS church who were rejecting their revelations and who were in condemnation before them! I then felt this in my mind: "Woe to those who are condemned before God!" This is the condemnation of God! I prayed then for those good people in the LDS church who have been lulled away in carnal security because of false teachings. These are the ones whom God will scourge and who are under the judgment of God!"

Doctrine & Covenants 84:57
57 And they shall remain under this condemnation until they repent and remember the new covenant, even the Book of Mormon and the former commandments which I have given them, not only to say, but to do according to that which I have written
Sat, Aug 10, 2024
The new covenant spoken of here is the start of the same covenant of eternal life and exaltation, a promise given in the celestial temple in the New Jerusalem. At that point the names of the faithful are written in the Lamb's Book of Life.
The covenant of the Book of Mormon refers to the fulness of the gospel found in that book. This is the gospel and teachings of Jesus Christ. The former commandments include to repent, have faith in Jesus Christ, and be baptized with proper authority. These are all the first principles and steps to receive the Holy Ghost in their lives. Then the Father will lead them to the fulness of the new and everlasting covenant. This is received in the New Jerusalem celestial temple when the candidate becomes a member of the Church of the Firstborn. He then receives a promise of eternal life and exaltation.
44I3-44I6: "Last night I asked a few question in my prayer:
Q- Is what David wrote to me about, the distinguishing characteristics of the righteous and the wicked as found in D&C 84:51-54, really true and interpreted correctly? Is coming to Christ really the whole purpose of religion, so that we can be introduced to the Father and Mother, and have a relationship with them again, even in mortality?
A- Yes, this is what all true religious activity points to and promotes-that our children come unto Christ (this is also the overall message of the Book of Mormon), and to have an experience with him. Then he will introduce them to the Father, and then to Heavenly Mother. They will then direct and guide their child. See D&C 84:57-59-
"And they shall remain under this condemnation until they repent and remember the new covenant, even the Book of Mormon and the former commandments which I have given them, not only to say, but to do according to that which I have written
That they may bring forth fruit meet for their Fathers kingdom; otherwise there remaineth a scourge and judgment to be poured out upon the children of Zion.
For shall the children of the kingdom pollute my holy land? Verily, I say unto you, Nay."
Also Jeremiah 31:33-34-
"But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more."
Those who try to do this are called righteous, and those who do not try, or who lack faith and don't try, are under condemnation for not coming to God, in this very personal way. These are called wicked. This is why the whole world groans under sin, because they will not make the effort to come unto God. See D&C 93:1-"Verily, thus saith the Lord: It shall come to pass that every soul who forsaketh his sins and cometh unto me, and calleth on my name, and obeyeth my voice, and keepeth my commandments, shall see my face and know that I am;". This is our true desire for each of our children."

Doctrine & Covenants 84:58-59
58 That they may bring forth fruit meet for their Fathers kingdom; otherwise there remaineth a scourge and judgment to be poured out upon the children of Zion.
59 For shall the children of the kingdom pollute my holy land? Verily, I say unto you, Nay.
Thu, Aug 8, 2024
If a member of the Church of Christ does not pursue a godly path in their life of good works, seeking God, and keeping the commands of God to them personally (these are the fruits meet for the kingdom), they will receive God's condemnation. This results in a scourge and judgment from God to that individual.
The Father says that his saints need to press forward in faith and diligence, so that they too might be guided by the Spirit towards Zion and eternal life. God will not tolerate the unclean to enter into Zion, which would pollute the purity and free flow of the Spirit in Zion. Those who do not press forward, but take lightly God's hand in their lives, will never be allowed to enter into Zion, and never be numbered among the faithful in Zion.

Doctrine & Covenants 84:81-82
81 Therefore, take ye no thought for the morrow, for what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, or wherewithal ye shall be clothed.
82 For, consider the lilies of the field, how they grow, they toil not, neither do they spin; and the kingdoms of the world, in all their glory, are not arrayed like one of these.
201K10-201K17: ""Email received from S on 8-3-2021 entitled "Road Construction":
"R,
I have enjoyed reading about the learning/teaching that is occurring in the evening with the 200 teachers, and all the 12 groups of laborers. I have confirmed that this is true. I am excited for truth to be poured out upon all the people in the New Jerusalem. I wanted to share my experience in prayer from this morning. My family and S.A.'s family are actively preparing needful items for our departure next month. We are trying to do so prayerfully and we have received answers and directions in our prayers. It all seems a little overwhelming as there are many unknowns in regards to our course, weather we will experience, amount of food needed, how to find water, and how to carry it all with young families. We are putting our trust in God and moving forward as we have felt led to do by the Spirit. This scripture brought comfort as I taught the youth in church on Sunday.
D&C 84:81-82 "Therefore, take ye no thought for the morrow, for what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, or wherewithal ye shall be clothed.
For, consider the lilies of the field, how they grow, they toil not, neither do they spin; and the kingdoms of the world, in all their glory, are not arrayed like one of these."
8/3/21 AM
In prayer, I felt to call upon Heavenly Father. I expressed my gratitude to commune with my Heavenly Parents and for Jesus Christ's atonement. Heavenly Father called me to his side. He stood beside the current road being built in the New Jerusalem. The area was marked and there were loads of sand, followed by rock already placed in the area before us. I saw heavy carts loaded with the materials being drawn by horses to this area. The next step was for the cement to be placed in this area.
Heavenly Father spoke: 'You are currently laboring here on the road construction in your replicated self. This is arduous work and predominantly the young and strong men are laboring diligently in this construction. These roads will be needful in Zion. You recently had significant rains and flooding around your home that made the ground muddy. We will have many people traverse these areas and roadways are needful. The workers before you feel in their heart that they are preparing this city for the return of their king, even Jesus Christ, to the earth. There is a joy and purpose in their labors and they work hard without complaint. These days will hold a special place in the hearts of all those who labored abundantly to prepare this city from the foundation up.
You long to be here and participate too. You need to quickly repair your flooded basement that you may set out and organize your supplies for your journey. This will help you realize what you are to take and what is needful to obtain this month. Continue to speak to your wife and S.A. to bounce ideas off of each other regarding needful preparations. The time is short to complete all these tasks but we will bless you as you are diligent.'
I prayed for courage and faith for my journey ahead. I asked a blessing upon my extended family for whatever course lies ahead for them, that they may be directed by the spirit and heed its promptings. Heavenly Father departed from my side and I closed my prayer.
Warmly,
S"
Evening-This morning just before I had my morning prayer, I received an email from S and S.A. (see S's email above). I have been thinking how near term going to Zion is all becoming! In our country, there is so much pressure for the people to get the COVID-19 injections. I believe these are blatant lies in their campaigns to hide the truth and try to persuade the people to be inoculated. It is all so very disgusting to me. I know this will all be part of us losing our freedoms, probably in the guise of a medical emergency. I am glad to soon depart this sinister world. I will terribly miss my loved ones, however.
I have been doing activities every day as if I were not going to the New Jerusalem any time soon. This is how I have been told to do. My preparations are already done I think, and I am watching events as things get worse in my telestial mortal world. I wonder how everything will all come about. Will it be much worse by the end of September when I leave to go to the New Jerusalem with my wife and son? I probably shouldn't speculate, for this will get me in trouble. I would then have expectations of what my mind had conjured up. I want instead to just observe as events happen. I know God has it all under control.
I came to Heavenly Mother's lower gardens tonight. I sought to connect with her in my personal prayer. I came to the east bank of the river representing Heavenly Mother. I was at the start of her lower gardens to my east.
I knelt and asked for my Heavenly Mother to come. She then walked to me from her remedy beds. She came before me and stopped. She spoke: 'Raphael, you are correct that events in your telestial world will continue to escalate, with more freedoms removed from the people. This is the beginning of severe troubles that have been brewing this entire year.
You are also correct to not conjecture how we might do our work in your own personal life, and that of your wife and son in coming to Zion. We recommend that you just observe our hand in your lives. What S referenced in his email to you this morning also refers to you (see D&C 84:81-85). "Take no thought for the morrow (verse 81), ...Therefore, let the morrow take thought for the things of itself (verse 84)." This means for you, and for our elect preparing to come to Zion, that we will order all things so you will be able to depart as we desire, even without you worrying. For those preparing to leave on a trek, as they pray to us, we will inspire them what to take with them. For you, Raphael, we want you to follow our instructions in verse 85: "Neither take ye thought beforehand what ye shall say; but treasure up in your minds continually the words of life, and it shall be given you in the very hour that portion that shall be meted unto (you)..." (word in parenthesis from Heavenly Mother).
Therefore, don't conjecture about the future, whether you are here in the telestial mortal world or in the terrestrial mortal world. We will orchestrate all as we desire for you.
Each one planning to come to Zion may also pray to us, their Gods, and we will give them specific revelation for them.'"

Doctrine & Covenants 84:96-102
96 For I, the Almighty, have laid my hands upon the nations, to scourge them for their wickedness.
97 And plagues shall go forth, and they shall not be taken from the earth until I have completed my work, which shall be cut short in righteousness
98 Until all shall know me, who remain, even from the least unto the greatest, and shall be filled with the knowledge of the Lord, and shall see eye to eye, and shall lift up their voice, and with the voice together sing this new song, saying:
99
The Lord hath brought again Zion;
The Lord hath redeemed his people, Israel,
According to the election of grace,
Which was brought to pass by the faith
And covenant of their fathers.
100
The Lord hath redeemed his people;
And Satan is bound and time is no longer.
The Lord hath gathered all things in one.
The Lord hath brought down Zion from above.
The Lord hath brought up Zion from beneath.
101
The earth hath travailed and brought forth her strength;
And truth is established in her bowels;
And the heavens have smiled upon her;
And she is clothed with the glory of her God;
For he stands in the midst of his people.
102
Glory, and honor, and power, and might,
Be ascribed to our God; for he is full of mercy,
Justice, grace and truth, and peace,
Forever and ever, Amen.
176H10-176H13: "Heavenly Mother then spoke: 'The leaders of the wicked do not know of the many events we have planned to shake the earth, to destroy their evil purposes, and to cleanse them from the mortal earth. Our ways and purposes are higher than theirs, and we will be victorious. No hands of men or devils will be able to dissuade us in our purposes, for we are Gods, and our works will become evident and revealed in the eyes of all people.'
She paused and looked upon her field of buttercups below us and all around us. She then spoke again to me: 'Even as these beautiful and happy buttercups are smiling upon us, their creators, so may you, our elect, be full of peace and joy, even while passing through the tribulations before you. We will ease your journey and be by your side. We will protect and uplift our elect who come to us in sincere and humble prayer. We will prepare the way for their own growth and journey to Zion. These are our people, the pure in heart!'
I thanked my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother for their beautiful and uplifting words to me today. I said I felt so humbled and blessed to be in their glorious presence, and to receive these great truths, and their comfort.
Heavenly Father then replied. 'Raphael, begin your new week now, and "look unto us in every thought, doubt not, fear not." (D&C 6:36) We will be continually by your side, and our Spirit will continually shine in your being.'"
130C2-130C17: "D&C 84:98
"Until all shall know me, who remain, even from the least unto the greatest, and shall be filled with the knowledge of the Lord, and shall see eye to eye, and shall lift up their voice, and with the voice together sing this new song, saying:"
There are then four verses of a song that people will sing when they see eye to eye, when God again brings up Zion, and the earth brings forth in her glorious terrestrial strength. What a beautiful world we then will live in!
Here is another scripture about all of the people knowing God in the millennial day
Jeremiah 31:33-34
"But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more."
I believe this time spoken of by Jeremiah will only happen after Satan is bound and the earth and her inhabitants transition into a higher terrestrial state.
This morning I came to the beautiful celestial orb on the southern shore of Lake Beautiful. The water was so very crystal clear here, for this is the celestial world where all the water is living celestial water! I could see the bottom of the lake, far out into the lake. I could see fish swimming in the waters and beautiful water plants in the lake. The shore was also resplendent with life and beauty! I felt very connected to my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother already, even though neither had appeared to me yet.
I knelt on the beach and faced the vast waters of the lake. I asked for one or both of my Heavenly Parents to come. I then saw in front of me, on the waters, both my Heavenly Parents walking towards me, on the air a little above the waters of Lake Beautiful! They were radiating abundant light that shone above and into the waters, even to the bottom of the lake!
They soon stopped thirty or forty feet from the shore and asked me in my thoughts to come to them above the waters of Lake Beautiful. I stood and seemed to float in the air until I was right before them! I then knelt in the air above the waters. I could see clear to the bottom of the lake still, for the light from God penetrated that far down to the bottom. I looked up and also felt their intense light flow into and through me! There was no part of me that didn't have light flowing through. I felt very loved and also accepted of them.
Heavenly Father then spoke: 'Raphael, the laws of the celestial allow us and you to come upon the waters in the air, all determined by our thoughts and intentions. We are all in tune to the celestial orb, the celestial water, and the celestial air here, which each loves to adjust themselves to our every desire. This too will occur, to a lesser degree, on your terrestrial earth during the millennial day soon at hand.
These phenomenon are all controlled by law and order, even as established in the beginning with our first parent Gods. Your earth now follows the laws of the telestial. It is more difficult to communicate with and ask for your earth, water and air in their telestial state to adjust the laws of gravity and other telestial laws, for you are all in a fallen state now.
In the terrestrial millennial day, all of our children will know us, for Satan will be bound and their minds will be clarified to a terrestrial level of understanding and vision. They will see eye to eye, when we establish again Zion, the pure in heart.
Isaiah 52:6-8
"Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I.
How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, They God reigneth!
Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the Lord shall bring again Zion."
My Heavenly Mother then spoke: 'Raphael not only will our people know us, their Heavenly Parents, and their Lord and Redeemer, Jesus Christ, but our people will be filled with love and acceptance for all. Husbands will love their wives, and the wives love their husbands, and both will love and care for their children in their families, even to an abundance! Sin will flee from the hearts of our people, and Zion will flourish for a thousand years. Great peace and happiness will characterize our people, who are our elect sons and daughters. What a lovely world this will be!
Your Heavenly Father and I will frequently come among our children, mingling with them in their houses and lands. We will be ever present in our celestial New Jerusalem area where you and our holy angels will work for the salvation of our celestial children. All will know us, from the least to the greatest. The earth will be filled with peaceful settlements and communities. Our light and love will enter into all the hearts and minds of our faithful in that day. What a wonderful day this will be!'
I then saw in vision these peaceful lands and homes of the saints of God! I saw how beautiful the sons and daughters of God were who lived in that future day! I longed to be there, to mingle with them, to talk with them in their homes, to play with their children in their yards, to feel of their love and enjoyment for life! I yearned to meet with them in their worship time, in their homes and meeting places in their communities. There was such an outpouring of the Holy Spirit that I was brought to tears! Oh, I want to be there!
Heavenly Mother spoke: 'Raphael, you will be there, but for now, you must mingle with our children who cannot see or feel, for they live in such a darkened telestial world. Extend our love to all, particularly to your wife, children and loved ones. Be accepting of all, and let our light and love shine forth from you to each one. Zion will be established by the pure in heart who love and accept one another, from the least unto the greatest!'
I thanked her and my Heavenly Father for their beautiful words and the brief vision of the millennial world I enjoyed. I said I loved them and would always keep their commandments. My prayer ended and I started my new day."

Doctrine & Covenants 84:114-115
114 Nevertheless, let the bishop go unto the city of New York, also to the city of Albany, and also to the city of Boston, and warn the people of those cities with the sound of the gospel, with a loud voice, of the desolation and utter abolishment which await them if they do reject these things.
115 For if they do reject these things the hour of their judgment is nigh, and their house shall be left unto them desolate.
163E3-163E19: ""I then read D&C 84:114-115, when the Lord spoke of the city of New York, Albany, and Boston. He said to "warn the people of those cities with the sound of the gospel, with a loud voice, of the desolation and utter abolishment which await them if they do reject these things. For if they reject these things, the hour of their judgment is nigh, and their house shall be left unto them desolate."
I wondered about any few who were righteous in those cities, if they would be protected? I had also read in D&C 45:32, about the desolating sickness coming to the land, that "my disciples shall stand in holy places, and shall not be moved; but among the wicked, men shall lift up their voices and curse God and die."
These things were all in my mind as I approached God in humble and open prayer this morning.
I then came to a place in my mind, in the inner city of some large US city. I was a little above this ghetto in the air, in the celestial realms on the earth. I could clearly see all that was happening in this wicked district of this city.
I then knelt in the air and asked my Heavenly Father to come to me. He came immediately, in bright glory before me! I felt the fire of his glory, great light, passing through me, even as if I wasn't there. I still beheld his fiery face, particularly his eternity eyes that seemed full of justice and great power. He was somber and intent on something it seemed.
Heavenly Father then spoke: 'Raphael, we are in the celestial realms on your earth above a wicked city of your nation. The inhabitants of this city are wicked and of the telestial world except for a few, less than ten required of Jesus Christ when he spoke to Abraham about the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. This city below us has reached the same level of evil as those ancient cities, and they will be destroyed.
The very few righteous that remain in these cities have been elevated to be terrestrial mortals. For these few, they stand in holy places which is in their own dwellings. If they do not respond to our promptings to leave this wicked city, we will still be merciful to them. There is a great darkness that has enveloped all of your land, and particularly the large cities like this one. Many of our elect are still in these cities, and will remain even until we destroy these cities. Some of these elect will perish, but most will be spared, even as was Rahab and her father's household who dwelt in Jericho (see Joshua 6:25). Just as clearly as the destroying armies of Joshua saw the scarlet thread in the window, and spared Rahab and her household, so clearly will the angel of destruction see our elect having the corona flame about them in their bodies, and spare them in the destructions coming to their cities. This will then fulfill the scripture in D&C 45:32, where the people around these spared elect will curse God and die, while the elect stand in holy places.'
I was kneeling before my majestic Heavenly Father in the air above this wicked city. I then saw below us, an angel of destruction come also above the city, and raise his right arm in the air. The power and strength of the Father then came into and passed through this angel to the city and its inhabitants. Great destruction and death came to those in this city, even to their utter destruction. I saw that S's words in his email that the large earthquakes "will remove large numbers of (God's) children from the face of the earth."
I saw other cities of our land also being destroyed. Heavenly Father took me higher above the land, so I could see the curvature of the earth, and the United States below me. I saw flashes of light around the land, in populated areas primarily. It was nighttime.
Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, these flashes of light are the wicked cities of your own land that are being destroyed, for they have reached a high level of wickedness, even as Sodom and Gomorrah were wicked. We will spare the righteous mostly who dwell in those cities, but the wicked will perish in large numbers.
When S saw that the light and glory of my presence destroyed him and the tree of life, this was representative of what will happen to these cities and the wicked. I will cleanse your land, and then the entire world, of all who are telestial, and spare the terrestrial elect whom I have chosen.
At a future day, in the millennium, my righteous shall enlarge the places of their habitations, and inherit some parts of these desolated cities:
Isaiah 54:2-3-
"Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes.
For thou shalt break forth on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited." (see also 3 Nephi 22:2-3)
I faced my Heavenly Father who was no longer full of intense fire and indignation. I spoke: 'My Father, I thank you for the confirming vision of what S saw, and more. I pray for the safety and well-being of your elect scattered on the earth. I pray that I may be able to protect them, for I know I have been replicated many times over, and stand as a sentinel or guard over them, even with my sword of Raphael unsheathed (see my post 151B26-151B31). May I help in preserving them also during the days of destruction coming upon the wicked, that these, your elect, may largely be protected and saved, even in their mortal bodies?'
Heavenly Father smiled and spoke: 'Raphael, you will protect and spare all of the elect that we inspire you to save from the destructions around them! You are already in place among each of our elect, in your replicated bodies, in the celestial realms on the earth. Protect them with my power that I have given to you with your sword of Raphael. Extend your sword of protection above these elect that I tell you to spare, and I will spare them, even as Rahab in Jericho. They will then be allowed to inhabit our new millennial earth, filled with others of my elect that I have chosen.
For those few elect who are not spared, I do this for my own purposes, that they may minister to me in the paradise of God in the world of the spirit dead.'
I bowed my head and thanked my Father for granting me my request! I said I loved him, and would serve him faithfully as he and Heavenly Mother would direct me.""

Doctrine & Covenants 84:116
116 Let him trust in me and he shall not be confounded; and a hair of his head shall not fall to the ground unnoticed.
113F1-113F20: "I immediately came to the celestial world where I had previously come last night, where my personal shells had been buried. It seemed dark out, but I could see the not to distant tree of life aglow. The fruits of the tree were shining like a Christmas tree lit up! I knelt in the soil where I was, faced the tree of life and asked my Heavenly Parents or one of them, to come to me.
I then thought of these scriptures:
D&C 84:54
"And your minds in times past have been darkened because of unbelief, and because you have treated lightly the things you have received-"
D&C 84:116
"Let him trust in me and he shall not be confounded; and a hair of his head shall not fall to the ground unnoticed."
I was pondering if I have had unbelief, which has caused my mind to be darkened. I wondered if I have not sufficiently trusted in my Gods. At this time I felt the darkness all around me, even like it was cold. I looked at the distant tree of life and yearned to have its light in me. At this time, Heavenly Mother appeared in her brightness in front of me! She was very bright and majestic. Her light beamed upon and through me, so that there was no place in me that was not brightly illuminated! I could feel her light purge out any darkness of unbelief in my entire body!
I then thought of Alma 32:35:
"O, then, is not this real? I say unto you, Yea, because it is light and whatsoever is light, is good, because it is discernible, therefore ye must know that it is good; and now behold, after ye have tasted this light is your knowledge perfect?"
Heavenly Mother spoke: 'Raphael, you can feel the light of my countenance streaming through all of your body. You are able to perceive with your mind all, yea, every part of your body, from your head to your toes, that are all illuminated and filled with my Godly light! In this state of stillness, there is no room for darkness and unbelief. This is discernible light and you know it is real.
I want you twice a day, when you eat your spoonful of coconut oil for your brain cognition, to visualize this light, starting at your head and expanding throughout your body, even to your toes, so that all is filled with discernible light. This will be my light, very tangible and real, which you may discern even as you discern and know today that it is very real. As you do this twice a day, think these words: "My body is completely filled with the light of my Heavenly Mother that is discernible and real! I fully know that I am Raphael, her archangel of light, with a mission to do whatever she and Heavenly Father direct me to do."
This practice will be equivalent to nourishing your belief and driving out all the darkness of unbelief that used to exist, even in a small amount, in your body.
This scripture will apply to you
Alma 32:41-43
"But if ye will nourish the word, yea, nourish the tree (replace this with the light that now fills your entire body) as it beginneth to grow, by your faith with great diligence, and with patience, (this is done by you diligently twice a day) looking forward to the fruit thereof, it shall take root; and behold it shall be a tree (or an internal light in you) springing up unto everlasting life.
And because of your diligence and your faith and your patience with the word in nourishing it, that it may take root in you, behold, by and by ye shall pluck the fruit thereof, (Raphael, the fruit we want you to have is to have my light beaming from inside you to fill every part of your body, giving you great confidence and strength in whatever direction we may tell you at the time) which is most precious, which is sweet above all that is sweet, and which is white above all that is white, yea, and pure above all that is pure; and ye shall feast upon this fruit even until ye are filled, that ye hunger not, neither shall ye thirst.
Then, my brethren, (Raphael, this refers specifically to you and each of our mortal angels and celestial servants now gaining strength and light from me, their Heavenly Mother and the Holy Ghost), ye shall reap the rewards of your faith, and your diligence, and patience, and long-suffering, waiting for the tree to bring forth fruit unto you (or waiting for you to become continually aware of my discernible light to fill every part of your body and being, driving out unbelief and darkness)." ' (parentheses added by Heavenly Mother)
At this time, Heavenly Mother was broadly smiling; her eternity eyes were sparkling with love and light. She was standing in brilliant light in front of me. I could see her light penetrate me and fill my entire body, kneeling on the soft soil in front of her. I could perceive her light going through me and into the air and soil around me and below me, even penetrating some distance, like 10 feet or so before it stopped. I was completely engulfed in her very real and tangible light! I felt very "one" with her, synched with her mind somehow, knowing her thoughts for me.
As I soaked up her light, I could perceive little areas of slight pain in my mind, in my head area, become activated and then be illuminated by the light from my Heavenly Mother and then be swished away by the flow of light away from me.
I then examined other parts of my body with my mind. I saw around my heart a film of some kind loosening under the flow of her light and then being also moved away and out of my body. I saw my heart filled with intense light also.
I saw my throat start to be cleared of obstructions so that I could freely speak under the influence of the Spirit, even of the Holy Ghost. I could see scales from my eyes, like those probably of Saul of old, that fell from his eyes when he received his sight after three days (see Acts 9:9-18). These scales came off and blew away under the steady stream of light from my Heavenly Mother in front of me.
Next I perceived there were some shells around my ears that were loosened from both of my ears. This too was quickly moved off and away from my body.
As I perceived my entire body, from my head to my toes, I could only discern directed rays of light going in and through me, with no obstructions. I was fully transparent before the beaming light from my Heavenly Mother! It was an amazing experience! I was literally filled with the Spirit, even the light from my Heavenly Mother before me.
Heavenly Mother spoke: 'Raphael, as you practice this same experience, twice a day while taking your pure coconut oil from your spoon, I will again fill you with my light. This will be discernible and real to you. Do this alone, in a meditative and quiet state. My light will begin filling your body at your head and proceed into your entire body, so that your entire body will be filled with my light twice a day. Once you are filled with my light, perceive how it feels. Examine with your mind all areas of your body, and truly experience what it feels like to be completely filled with my light. Feel the light start to shine from you to all areas around you. We want you to become our angel of light, beaming forth our light and power. How can you do this without gaining the ability to do so by your own mind? We want you to hide this light in the presence of others for now, but to become skilled at being able to shine forth my very light when your Heavenly Father or I want you to do so. This will all be controlled by your mind and by our will.
While you are developing this ability and strength, we also want each one of our mortal angels and mortal celestial servants to practice and do this too. They would also do well to take coconut oil twice a day as will you be doing. Alternatively, they could do it when drinking water instead of eating coconut oil. They, too, will be filled with this light by me as they practice. This tangible method, done twice a day, will help them clarify their minds, feel my light in its intensity, and eliminate blockages in their body that are preventing them each from becoming our children and servants of light we desire them to become. Once filled with light, they will perceive more fully the will of us, their Gods, for them. This will all be done in their mortal conscious mind. This will take faith and diligence.'
I was still being filled with the intense light of my Heavenly Mother. She then stopped the flow of light from her presence. She was next at a light glow in the darkness, still standing in front of me. I could then discern all of her light was gone from flowing through me. I felt, however, very peaceful and so clear and happy!
Heavenly Mother concluded: 'Raphael, come here again tonight and your Heavenly Father will continue to teach you!'
I thanked my Heavenly Mother for this amazing experience. She then left my presence and I started my mortal day.
Evening-I came tonight to the same area west of the tree of life, in the soft soil where I had once buried my personal shells. The sapling tree of life was behind me to my right side. The sky was bright, no longer as dark as it was last night. I saw my marks of where I had knelt last night. I even saw the scales from my eyes that had come off with the intense light from Heavenly Mother! I picked these up and looked at these two eye scales. The scales were rounded and only had covered the front part of the eyeball and not my eyelid. I wondered how I ever saw anything spiritual through these scales! They were transparent, but a little foggy. Hopefully, I am able to see and discern a little better now! I took these eye scales and buried them in the soft soil. I didn't see any other remnants of what had blown off of my body during the intense streaming of light from my Heavenly Mother.
I knelt again on the soft soil. I asked for my Heavenly Father to come, for my Heavenly Mother had said he would be coming tonight. I was facing the main tree of life while kneeling.
Heavenly Father appeared at some distance away by the tree of life. He waved for me to come to him. I got up and came under the canopy of the tree of life, in front of my Heavenly Father. He was standing a little elevated in the air. He gave me the impression to keep standing. He was glowing in light but not at all so intense as Heavenly Mother was last night.
Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, I want you to eat of this fruit of the tree of life!' He reached up and plucked a white glowing fruit. He handed it to me. I took the fruit and ate it. As I ate, I could feel the light and love of God coming from the fruit. It started at my head as I was chewing and then from my throat and stomach area after I swallowed. The light and love emanated from the fruit of the tree of life, then to all parts of my body. I soon felt very enlightened from the fruit in the center area of my body. The source of light was from inside of me, and not from an external source like last night with my Heavenly Mother.
I again could "see" into all parts of my replicated body. I could see no obstructions anywhere, only light emanation from inside of me. This lasted for a few minutes or more while still being filled with this light from inside of me.
Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, last night you experienced the intense light from your Heavenly Mother, or in her role as the Holy Ghost. This was very intense and cleared you of all obstructions in your body that might prevent you from seeing light and truth from God. You felt very cleared of unbelief and darkness, and filled with light from God. Now you feel that same light, coupled with the love of God, coming from the fruit of the tree of life that you chewed and swallowed. This light comes from within your own body.
Our intention is to aid you in gaining confidence in yourself and to remove any obstacles in your own body that may be keeping you from fully receiving all we have to give you and make of you. You need to put forth effort, by your own will and desires, to eliminate unbeliefs and any darkness. We will aid you, but you have to desire this clarity and light that we want to come from within you, with all your heart. We want you to develop the ability to shine forth our light and power from your very being when we desire.
Your Heavenly Mother and I will continue to enlighten you with our heavenly light, both from without and within you. You also have a twice-daily practice she has asked you to do when taking your spoonful of coconut oil, in a meditative quiet state. She will send forth her Spirit and light that will illuminate your being, just like you experienced when taking the fruit of the tree of life tonight. Your feelings of being filled with light will be the same while eating the coconut oil in your mortal body as partaking of the fruit of the tree of life in your replicated celestial translated body on our celestial orb. Both actions will have the same result, as you envision the light coming into you. We will help you to see and perceive your entire body when you do either, so that you may gain confidence and eliminate unbelief from your being. Darkness and doubt will not be able to remain once you flood your body with light at least twice-daily.'
Heavenly Father then pulled me close to his body. I immediately felt the rays of light and love, his very being, penetrate me and fill me up completely! I perceived only light and no negative or dark anything in me. I was super receptive and very transparent. It was a wonderful experience! I could sense the great love from my Heavenly Father for me also. I could almost "see" what he envisioned me to become. It was reality in his mind and yet in mine it was still out in the future somewhere. Having this embrace blessed me to see myself more as he really sees me.
I then had the sensation of falling back to the earth in my mortal, telestial sphere. I saw that I retained some of his abundant light that he had given me. I am excited to twice-daily at least fill my body with the light of God. This experience I am sure will help this light become a permanent part of my being!"

Doctrine & Covenants 85:3
3 It is contrary to the will and commandment of God that those who receive not their inheritance by consecration, agreeable to his law, which he has given, that he may tithe his people, to prepare them against the day of vengeance and burning, should have their names enrolled with the people of God.
Thu, Jul 11, 2024
Part of the law of God is that he will tithe his people, which means to gather those who are chosen who are a small part (his tithed, who are earmarked to God), whom He will move spiritually and later temporally into the safe garners, prior to the burning of the world. Those chosen that God tithes are therefore saved temporally, and are able to move into the terrestrial realm of the next millennial world. From there, the elect of God will still need to be chosen by Jesus Christ to enter into his celestial church, the Church of the Firstborn, for not all of those in the terrestrial world will qualify for eternal life and exaltation. Those who are not tithed are burned at his coming, for they have no part in God's plan. They are the tares of the world, whose names nor inheritances are not written in the Book of the Law of God.
See also D&C 119:3-4 notes, last paragraph, and D&C 64:22-24 notes.
Thu, Dec 28, 2023
This is the record of the elect, created by the Father, of all those whose names who will enter into the Church of the Firstborn, and receive exaltation and eternal life. The names of the faithful thus chosen are recorded by Oriphiel, an archangel of the Father. These names will be written in the Lamb's Book of Life.

This is a preface to something hidden, something very important, that even makes Joseph's bones to quake! The Spirit, the still small voice, makes manifest to those like Joseph who are in tune and open to the promptings. See also verse 10--it was given by the Spirit, and Joseph did not speak this of himself.

Doctrine & Covenants 85:7
7 And it shall come to pass that I, the Lord God, will send one mighty and strong, holding the scepter of power in his hand, clothed with light for a covering, whose mouth shall utter words, eternal words; while his bowels shall be a fountain of truth, to set in order the house of God, and to arrange by lot the inheritances of the saints whose names are found, and the names of their fathers, and of their children, enrolled in the book of the law of God;
Tue, Sep 3, 2024
See Isaiah 28, 49, 1 Nephi 21 and 2 Nephi 3:24. This is he who administers the waters of separation ordinance in the celestial temple at the New Jerusalem. He is mighty and strong since he has been commissioned by the Father and the Son to gather Israel, to bring forth the island of the New Jerusalem and its foundations, and to build the Celestial New Jerusalem temple. He also wears at his side the powerful sword of Raphael ("holding the scepter of power in his hand") which produces brilliant lightning. He also wears the angled scarlet red sash, giving him the power of God to vanquish the wicked to the prison orb (see 59H23-59H26, 59I2-59I5). He also is powerful since he receives the names of the faithful that will be recorded in the Book of the law of God. This is the record of the Father who selected the elect of God. These individuals are chosen by Jesus Christ, then their names given to the archangel Oriphiel, then to Raphael to call forth and then to perform the ordinance. He has a light for a covering because of his role as an archangel of God ("clothed with light for a covering"), being in God's presence frequently to receive God's directions. [see my notes below dated May 26, 2024 for more information on the light for a covering.]
The inheritances in Zion are the eternal rewards of the faithful saints, not pertaining to a mortal inheritance, but those in the eternal worlds.
Updated 8-19-2023: In prayer, I confirmed that after all of the celestial saints receive their eternal glory, Raphael will help the Father and Mother in arranging all of their eternal inheritances on the celestial planet earth. This will then fulfill this scripture in verse 7: "and to arrange by lot the inheritances of the saints whose names are found, and the names of their fathers, and of their children, enrolled in the book of the law of God".
Updated 1-17-2024: During my scripture study this morning, I read from 110D19-110D28. In this post, Heavenly Father introduced to me the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, both a male and female tree, on the celestial orb. I was given a fruit of the female tree, and was told to plant the pit in the grass where I was standing. This pit would grow into another female tree, and would be transplanted to the celestial earth in a future during the day when inheritances would be divided among the future gods of this eternity on our earth! See this entire entry in the note in 1 Nephi 11:31, and Revelation 22:2.
Brigham Young, Provo Bowery Conference, Aug 24,1867; [BX 8693.C559 C547, Americana Collection, L. Tom Perry Special Collections, Harold B. Lee Library, Brigham Young University, p. 106; see also The Complete Discourses of Brigham Young, v. 4 pp 2478-2479 -- "Brethren, this Church will be led onto the very brink of hell by the leaders of this people. Then God will raise the one mighty and strong, spoken of in the 85th Section of the Doctrine and Covenants, to save and redeem this Church."
I believe that Brigham Young correctly spoke this prophecy. To redeem this church, and set it in order, is to reestablish the new terrestrial Church of Christ, with new leadership and members, as it was in the beginning days of Joseph Smith, for that is what God will recognize in the millennium as his church among mortals. The old LDS Church is a telestial church, and will pass with the passing of that realm when it is destroyed and the terrestrial mortal world comes in. All that is telestial will burn up at the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. All that is telestial mortal and is elected to move forward into the higher realm will become elevated to a terrestrial order.
May 26, 2024: Regarding the garment of light that Adam and Eve both wore prior to their fall (see my note dated May 23, 2024 in Moses 3:8): Do I also have this same type of garment of light, now that I live in a terrestrial mortal world? Was the original celestial garment of light, which allowed Adam and Eve, who possessed terrestrial bodies of flesh and bones, to access their Gods in the celestial realm, also this same type of garment that I now wear? Is this what the scripture in D&C 85:7 means when it states that the one mighty and strong is "clothed with light for a covering"?
"And it shall come to pass that I, the Lord God, will send one mighty and strong, holding the scepter of power in his hand, clothed with light for a covering"
When I prayed about the above, in the sincerity of my heart, before my Heavenly Father, he responded with the following, given in my own words:
"Raphael, when you received your endowment in the Salt Lake Temple in 1970, you were clothed in that temple in long garments that extended to your wrists and to your ankles. This is the same type of covering as the garment of light that Adam and Eve wore in the garden of Eden. For Adam and Eve, they were terrestrial beings of flesh and bones, and the garments they wore were celestial coverings. These celestial garments allowed them to come freely into our presence in the celestial realms, even while they lived in the terrestrial realm in the garden.
For you, because of your great mission as an archangel in these last days, when you were clothed in the garment of the holy priesthood in the Salt Lake Temple, you were also, at that same time, clothed with a long garment of light, extending to your wrists and ankles, in the celestial realms. This celestial garment you wore from that time next to your skin, under your angel vestures. It appeared to all who saw you in the celestial realms as a covering of light over the bare skin on your arms to your wrists and legs to your ankles which before had been partly exposed. Wearing of this garment of light was unique among all of my angels. This garment you will continue to wear through the entire millennium.
This garment of light gave you added protection in mortality, even though it was upon your replicated body in the celestial world. It was also a signal that your mission as an angel of light, or clothed with light for a covering, was beginning.
Since that day in May 1970, over 54 years ago, you have retained this garment of light on your replicated celestial being. Others in the celestial world knew that you had entered into the days of your great calling. This also is a fulfillment of you being one mighty and strong as stated in D&C 85:7, with a light for a covering."
In priesthood meeting this morning, from brother R, I heard that the endowment is to bring us before the Father at the veil, and to become aware of who we are and of any mission we might have. This is what I received in the Salt Lake Temple in May 1970, during my endowment. I believe at that time the Father then reviewed my mission and who I was at that time. This was in my unconscious mind, and I was unaware of this happening in my mortal conscious mind.
I also feel that, although the LDS Church is astray from God at this time, I should continue wearing my more modern and shortened authorized LDS temple garment in the flesh as I was commanded to do when I received them. These garments which are now available are the current two-piece garments, and not the long garment that I was endowed with. Wearing these temple garments night and day is a daily remembrance of my own covenants that I made in May 1970 in the Salt Lake Temple. At that time, God honored and upheld those in the presiding authorities of the church.
June 7, 2024: I have had an experience with over extending in my outside physical work to my own exhaustion. I have thought that I can do as I always have done, in working outside for relatively long hours. My energy level, however, has been waning which is common to all mankind as they age and enter the latter stages of life.
I was pinning in dripper lines in my garden, then placing black plastic over it all, and then planting. It's a big effort! I think I extended beyond my own energy storage, for when I got inside I had to rest and then go to bed. I felt awful! Besides this, my neck was stiff and my whole back and most of my body ached.
I went to my doctor the next day who does muscle work. He said I had facet syndrome, from being bent over, looking up, and overworking. He corrected the facia neck and shoulder muscles.
Within a day I felt much better, and seemed to be on the mend. I then went out the next day and overworked again in the garden, but now in the hot sun. I again overworked by a few hours I believe. I feel so dumb to have done this again!
I came again inside and could function, but had to rest a lot. Later, I got very hot, and my body was not able to regulate my rising temperature. I kept thinking I was completely exhausted. My wife researched this online and found out I had heat exhaustion, which was going into heat stroke. She brought my body temperature down with cold wet wash rags, ice and fans. This helped me immensely. However I still had lots of the exhaustion symptoms into the next day. I felt like I just had a very strong lesson to not push myself ever again, and to not push into and deplete my energy stores!
I prayed about this last night, and asked for my Heavenly Father to give me some direction. Here is what I recall he said to me yesterday (I asked him to be next to me and help me recall his words):
"Raphael, you are aging and have to learn the lesson to pace yourself, and not to deplete your available energy in your physical body! Even though you are translated, there is a limit to how much physical work you can do. We want you to be and act as an older man throughout the millennium, and this means that you will have the energy of an older man also. We want you to be in every way like a seventy year old man in your mortal body. Therefore, you will need to pace yourself and not overextend. Your mind might be the age of a younger man, but your translated body will be that of an older man, both in vitality, energy and endurance. If you overextend in the millennium, just like this week, you might again suffer the affects of exhaustion. You will need to pace yourself in your mortal body, for you will not be able to function as a younger, robust man. At the end of the millennium you will die and resurrect with no restraints on your physical restrictions."
June 25, 2024
I felt today that my Heavenly Father wanted me to expand on the meaning of "holding the scepter of power in his hand". I received this during my scripture study time this early morning:
A scepter is a ceremonial staff, often used by kings. With its jewels and ornamentation, a scepter is a symbol of power. Since a scepter was known to the people, Jesus Christ, who gave this revelation to Joseph Smith, used this word to convey the composite meaning of great power of the angled scarlet-red sash, the sword of Raphael, and God's power in Raphael's hands.
The angled scarlet-red sash is a symbol of vengeance of God against the wicked on the earth. The sword of Raphael emits silver lightning, giving Raphael power over Satan and all the evil spirits. The hands of Raphael act as a conduit of Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother's power through this archangel. Raphael has extended his hands, at different times, as commanded by the Father and Mother, to cause the terrestrial earth to come forth up out of the waters forming the island of the New Jerusalem, to bring forth the exceedingly heavy walls of the celestial temple from their repository, to send forth light from Heavenly Mother upon the earth to heal her of poisons, to act as a conduit of to bless others, and to secure Satan and his evil hosts with his left hand while his right arm holds the sword of Raphael above his head.
59H20, 59H22, 59H24, 59H27-59H29, from Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ: "Raphael, we are angered because of the wicked on the earth. They do not repent, but continue in their wickedness and selfish desires. The love of man has waxed cold. We will soon come upon the world in our hot displeasure because of their wickedness and refusal to repent. This is the meaning of the scarlet-red angled sash that we are both wearing. We will execute our vengeance with our power, as you have seen displayed before you when we came to you in the brightness of our glory
. . . Raphael, the presence of this sash on you is a symbol that you have our authority and power to come against Satan's hosts and the wicked . . . Raphael and John, you both are now given our authority to destroy the wicked and to vanquish Satan as you feel impressed to do from us, your God
. . . Raphael, you have your sword of Raphael sheathed on your left side under your waist sash. Use it to remove any of the hosts of Lucifer who step out of their bounds that have been set by God, which bounds they pass in afflicting our elect or when getting in the way of the healing work of the angels of God. We will no longer tolerate their over-stepping intrusions into the lives of our elect or our angels.
Raphael, when you feel impressed, with direction from us, that any of the hosts of Lucifer have moved beyond their bounds on our people that you see or that is reported to you, then take hold of the offending fallen spirit(s) and remove them to the distant orb, out of your own solar system. You have done this before when you removed to that distant orb two evil spirits in the past, in your conscious memory, one who was a very aggressive and powerful false spirit. This orb acts as a prison for these overly aggressive evil spirits.
When you remove them by our power, secure them in your left hand and raise your sword of Raphael in your right hand, high above your head. Then teleport with the evil spirit(s) to that distant orb prison and deposit them onto that prison orb. These will be constrained to be there until you place Lucifer and his hosts under the thousand-year seal in the bottomless pit, after my return to the earth in glory. At that time, route these whom you have placed on that prison orb to the bottomless pit with Lucifer their master."
59I2-59I3, from Heavenly Mother: "'Raphael, the angled scarlet-red sash that you and John the Beloved wear now is a symbol of your extra authority and power over the wicked. John will exercise authority over the wicked in the nations of the earth, in cleansing the world in his role as the rod of Jesse. You will have power over the adversary, Satan and his hosts, to make sure they are keeping within the bounds that we have set for them. When they overstep those bounds, then take swift action in removing those offenders to the orb prison we have created. The knowledge of your authority and actions will quickly spread among them. This threat from us, working through you, will keep them more in-line in these last days. Nevertheless, they will push their boundary limits frequently. Never argue with them, only act under our direction as you are inspired by either of us three Gods: Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ or myself.
You will wear your angled scarlet-red sash over your healing and protective vestures until the day that you place the thousand-year seal on Satan and his hosts, over the bottomless pit.
Raphael, with this angled sash you now wear, your appearance will greatly frighten any of the hosts of Satan, and greatly bring relief to those who have been afflicted.
We love you R! We are pleased to extend this power of God to you and our servant John.
Your joint effort will help control and eliminate evil from the earth, both among mortals and in the spirit realms of the dead. This is to prepare the earth for the glorious day of the millennium.'"
After I wrote the above dated June 25th, 2024, I knelt in prayer to close my scripture study and start my day. As I opened my prayer, I saw Heavenly Father, Heavenly Mother and Jesus Christ all before me! I told them that I felt weak of my own self, and very penitent before them, and was ready for any message that they might share with me.
Jesus Christ, my Savior, then spoke to me and said these words: "Raphael, you are our mighty servant. We have given to you and my son, John the Beloved, our great power in these last days. Your work is in the celestial realms of the earth in fulfilling our great mission of power.
I gave this revelation to our servant Joseph Smith, Jun, now known as section 85 in the Doctrine and Covenants. In verse 7 I spoke of you as holding the scepter of power in your hand. I used the word scepter so that my saints would understand that you, our servant who is mighty and strong, would hold great authority and power of God. What you have written today in this note is pleasing to us, and has been inspired by us for you to add to your note. This is the correct interpretation of the meaning of scepter of power in your hand. Add what I say to you as a confirmation of your words."
I said that I would do so now. I have just finished writing his words, and felt like I wrote his words correctly.

Doctrine & Covenants 85:8
8 While that man, who was called of God and appointed, that putteth forth his hand to steady the ark of God, shall fall by the shaft of death, like as a tree that is smitten by the vivid shaft of lightning.
Thu, Jul 25, 2024
Since the days of Joseph Smith, the true seer of the Lord, there has not been a president nor prophet who has been the same in receiving revelation as he was. There have been none who communed with Jesus or the Father directly, who truly spoke in the name of Christ, and spoke his very words as the oracle of God, as if from his own mouth. These were all asleep, in the Lord's own words (see D&C 86:3). The Lord suffered this, but still gave revelation through his leaders of the church through the Spirit and the Holy Ghost while the tares grew and flourished in the church. There were also some falsehoods that also crept into the church and its scriptures (like polygamy and D&C 132).
However, in our recent day, the vivid lightning spoken in this verse finally came in January, 2019 on the celestial orb, being the final time when the Father had experienced enough apostasy. God struck the oak tree (representing the latter day church established by the prophet Joseph Smith) with lightning and exceedingly hot flames, burning it to the ground in a heap of ashes!
The ark of God that was steadied: the latter day church was driven into the wilderness, after having been choked by the tares (see D&C 86:3). The church leaders still had possession of the priesthood and some of the priesthood keys at that time. These weren't removed until the due time of the Father, once a replacement (R) in mortality was called and upon whom was conferred these keys. The keys of the gathering of Israel, initially given to Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery (this latter was transferred to Hyrum Smith) were removed from the church when they were both martyred since these were never conferred upon the twelve. This was again conferred upon Raphael and John the Beloved who now exercise these keys to gather Israel. John the Beloved will gather and cleanse in the physical realm, whereas Raphael will gather and cleanse in the spiritual realm.
Updated June 22, 2024: "That man" in this verse, who was called of God and appointed, was Russell M. Nelson. He was the president of the church when the oak tree burned on the celestial orb, and the church leaders were declared by the Father to no longer hold his priesthood. President Nelson sought to steady the ark of God, maintaining the status quo of the church and its doctrine that men only could hold authority from God, and not women, even though God would state otherwise. This was when the revelation was given by God to President Thomas S Monson, introducing the office of High Priestess. President of the twelve Russell M. Nelson repudiated this revelation, gathering followers from the quorum of the twelve to support him. He later became the president of the church, and was president when Raphael received the revelation of the oak tree burning by the "vivid shaft of lightning", referred to in this verse. The oak tree on the celestial orb, blew over in January, 2019 and burned to ashes the next day (see my posts below). The upper part of the tree was dead and very decayed and brittle when blown over and burned, indicating that no recent revelations had been given to the leaders of the church.
108E9-108E25, January 19, 2019, from Heavenly Father: " You have also seen how the thick fog remained around the large live oak tree. This tree represents The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It was established by revelation through the prophet Joseph Smith, Jr., our chosen revelator to the people, nearly 190 years ago. However, in recent years we have cut off our revelations to our church and its leaders, for they have turned away from our direction and counsels. They have the mighty structure of the oak tree, but are now without the nourishment we have given in the past. The tree is now dead!'
I looked carefully at the tree below us. It still had a mighty structure, but there were no more leaves! There was no more nourishment from its roots. The tree below me was standing, but dead. I wondered how this was done in the celestial world?
Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, look more carefully at its roots. We have asked the spirit of this tree to transfer into a new growing oak tree found in its roots! This is indeed a resurrected tree, but is still changing shape and structure. The new growing roots represent the new Church of Christ, soon to be reestablished on the earth.
I then looked more carefully at the roots of this oak tree, from the overlook where we were standing. I saw that deep in the ground, hidden from view, there were roots that were alive and thriving from the rich nourishment of the soil. I believe I saw this growth from my spirit sense. As I was looking at the roots, a mighty whirlwind came up and blew fiercely upon the field and upon the oak tree. The wheat in the field bent over and it seemed like waves of wind came across the field. The individual stalks of wheat held fast in the wind and survived just fine.
I then looked at the oak tree. It started to tip and then, in a mighty crash, fell to the ground towards Heavenly Father and me! The top of the branches almost reached us as it crashed down. This was a dramatic fall! I could see over the tree to its exposed roots that were sticking up in the air, now exposed. I could perceive the deep roots that had been growing were still intact and separated from the ones in the air.
Heavenly Father spoke: 'Come Raphael, let's go to the base of my oak tree.' We then moved over the branches of the once mighty oak tree. I could clearly see they were dry, covered with moss and even infected, it seemed, with disease. The branches were brittle with no life.
We came to the ground next to the uprooted tree. The roots in the air were also dry. I reached up to one and it snapped before me. I had never seen such a dead brittle tree. I thought that must have been dead for years!
Heavenly Father then walked into the hole vacated by the roots. I came next to him. He pointed to the roots below his feet and spoke: 'Raphael, here are the living roots that I have preserved, into which the spirit of this mighty oak tree has gone. Let us clear the way for these roots to grow into a new mighty oak tree, our restored Church of Christ that will remain during the entire millennium!'
Heavenly Father reached down with his hands and moved soil over the exposed living roots. He said he would not bury these too deeply, but as the roots started to grow again he would fill in more soil around them. He said he would do this carefully until the roots were again at the level surface of the field. At that time he would wait, and the tree would then come forth from the ground. He said that this would be the time when Joseph would again transfer the keys of the kingdom of God on earth to the newly called leaders of the Church of Christ. The church would then grow quickly in the sunshine of true revelation from Jesus Christ.
Heavenly Father and I came up from the hole to the level ground. Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, I will leave this dead oak tree on the ground as a memorial until near the time that new live oak tree comes out of the ground as a new tree. In the meantime, our elect children in this Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will need to receive all their revelation from us, their Gods, and no longer from their fallen leaders. We will abundantly give them the sunshine of our revelations to guide and protect them. Oh, we love them so very much!'
I could see a tear in my Heavenly Father's eyes! I knew he and Heavenly Mother loved their elect children so very much and fully accepted their elect just as they were at this time. They wanted their elect to hear their voice and obey them so that they could safely guide them to safe places, spiritually and physically. Heavenly Father spoke again: 'Raphael, the mighty whirlwind spoken of in D&C 112:24-26 is that same whirlwind you saw in my field that tipped the dead oak tree over:
D&C 112:24-26 "Behold, vengeance cometh speedily upon the inhabitants of the earth, a day of wrath, a day of burning, a day of desolation, of weeping, of mourning, and of lamentation; and as a whirlwind it shall come upon all the face of the earth, saith the Lord.
And upon my house shall it begin, and from my house shall it go forth, saith the Lord.
First among those among you, saith the Lord, who have professed to know my name and have not known me, and have blasphemed against me in the midst of my house, saith the Lord."
Raphael, do not weep, mourn or lament over the fall of this mighty oak tree (see verse 24 above), for it was needful to clear out the bad, the untrue doctrine, the false traditions that infested this fallen oak tree, so that the pure and holy new live oak tree could spring forth in its place. Those who professed to be true prophets and from whom I have already cut off from my priesthood power, will one day fall, for they have blasphemed me (see verse 26). They say to my people that they have received revelation from me when they have not. They are left alone now to do their own works, cut off from our presence.'
I stood in awe of this vision I had just experienced with my Heavenly Father at his wheat field! I looked again at the fallen oak tree. It reminded me of the fallen oak tree I had seen at the Oak Alley Plantation. There had been a recent wind I think that blew this isolated tree at the end of the parking lot. It had split and crashed some nearby picnic tables! Scary! I thanked my Heavenly Father for his wonderful revelation and demonstration before me this morning! I said how much I loved him and wanted to always hear his voice and keep his commandments.
Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, if any of my elect wish to view this fallen dead oak tree, I will show them what you have seen, or at least the memorial of this fallen tree. It will help them believe in my words to you today and know that we truly speak to them individually with the sunshine of our revelations. This should help the fog of doubt and unbelief to disperse from their minds!'"
108F12-108F15, January 20, 2019, from Heavenly Mother (see my note in D&C 86:7 for more details, in 108F7-108F18): "You will also see the fallen oak tree in the northwestern part of the field below us. This tree has further decayed since the mighty whirlwind blew it over. All is now ready to be burned with fire! Watch now Heavenly Father at the east end of his wheat field in the air.'
I looked in the distance to Heavenly Father next to his holy angels in the air. Heavenly Father raised his hands above the field below him and great flames of fire came down from the sky and lit upon the field and the road. I saw the stubble, the bound tares, and the once mighty oak tree catch on fire and burn. There was a thick, black smoke, which arose from the tares, and especially from the dead oak tree. The fire was ferocious and wild. The heat of its burning rose in the air and I could feel its radiant intensity. I next saw it burn steadily and then die down to embers. Soon all was still again.
My Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother turned to me and Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, let's now go down to my wheat field.' We descended from the sky to the place where the oak tree had fallen. I saw no sign of this mighty oak, except for some ashes on the ground. The hole where the roots of the tree had uprooted had been gradually filled by Heavenly Father with surrounding soil, nearly to the level ground. This soil had protected the underlying roots from damage.
Heavenly Father reached out and mixed the ashes from the burnt tree with more soil and then pushed this mixture on top of the area where the deep hole had been created. The soil mixture made the ground now level again. Heavenly Mother spoke: Raphael, the ashes from the fallen oak tree are the true doctrines and practices that remain of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. These will be transferred to the new Church of Christ that will soon spring forth from the roots of this live oak tree.'"
President Monson died a year earlier (January 2, 2018) than when these above revelations to Raphael were given. Russell M Nelson was ordained as president of the church on January 18, 2018, just a few weeks later.
154H2-154H3, March 20, 2020: "This morning I came to the overlook to Heavenly Father's wheat field. I prayed to my Heavenly Father, and he came next to me on my left side where I was kneeling. We were both facing the fallen live oak tree before us. I asked my Father if this was really he [him], for I hadn't seen his face from the front. He turned and touched my left shoulder with his hand and spoke: 'Yes, Raphael, it is me, your Heavenly Father!' I look into his eternity eyes and face, and knew it was my Heavenly Father who spoke to me and was beside me.
He then turned and faced the tree. He spoke to me: 'Look!'
I looked and saw a very dark and ominous cloud coming upon the area above the fallen oak tree and the wheat field to the southeast. Then extremely heavy hail started to pelt down on the entire area. Somehow where we were located on the overlook there was no hail. I could feel the chill from the hail falling in front of us on the tree and area around us. Suddenly a large lightning bolt came from the cloud and split the dry oak tree! There was a huge noise and fire immediately burst upon the tree! I saw soon thick dark smoke arise and felt intense heat from the fallen oak tree that was ablaze!"
157D16, April 19, 2020: "Heavenly Father then lowered his arms and moved backwards above the fallen oak tree. He raised his right arm and fire came down and consumed the fallen tree! This was the third time I had seen this tree that represented the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, burn with fire. I believe that my seeing this fire burn the tree now three separate times makes this event more sure somehow in my mind as an unalterable happening."
181F11-181F13: "I have wondered why I saw the fallen oak tree again catch fire from a lightning bolt. I had seen this before (see my post 154H3 to 154H8 , and post 157D16). I wondered if the event I had seen before just repeated itself again as the same event, or if it was a new time happening? I was kneeling there, facing God's temple to the west. I asked if Heavenly Mother would come to me.
She came in a beam of light from her temple, and stood before me in the air. She was so majestic looking and her cape was blowing behind her. Her eyes were very bright and ablaze, it seemed, with fire.
She immediately spoke to me: 'Raphael, you have seen the same event of the lightning bolt coming and striking the fallen oak tree, even as in your post 157D16. The fallen oak tree represents the fallen Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Soon our hand will expose some of the current leaders of this church, which shall be as the shock of a lightning bolt to many of its members. We will not tolerate such flagrant sin and corruption to remain unexposed among those who profess to know us, and supposedly lead the Saints to believe in their words, as if these words come from us, their Gods. We have departed fully from this church that was once our telestial church on the earth.'"

After administering the entry ordinance into the Church of the Firstborn by Raphael, then Oriphiel records the name of the faithful individual who just received this eternal ordinance in the Lambs Book of Life, thus sealing him or her to an entry into the celestial kingdom.

12 Therefore, it shall be done unto them as unto the children of the priest, as will be found recorded in the second chapter and sixty-first and second verses of Ezra.

The inheritance spoken of is an eternal inheritance in the celestial world, recognized by the Father and the Son. The Saints will all become couple Gods in eternity, and receive all that the Father and Mother have.
Then those whose names are not recorded in the Lambs Book of Life will be released from their priesthood, and will not receive an inheritance in the celestial kingdom of God. They will receive a lesser kingdom of glory.

Doctrine & Covenants 86:1-2
1 Verily, thus saith the Lord unto you my servants, concerning the parable of the wheat and of the tares:
2 Behold, verily I say, the field was the world, and the apostles were the sowers of the seed;
Thu, Dec 28, 2023
This is the parable of the wheat and tares (see entire section). The latter day apostles were commissioned to sow the word (the gospel) into all of the world (the field). However, they have fallen short, and have fallen asleep (verse 3), not fulfilling the extent of their great commissions.
102I7-102I10, from Heavenly Father: "Isaiah had reference to these times you live in. The men of my people need to shake themselves from the dust, to arise and sit down. This means to open their hearts and minds to the fact that the priesthood and keys have been removed from the general level leadership of the second Church of Christ, even the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They need to accept the establishment of the new third Church of Christ, and the priesthood power that will be reestablished through their priesthood power, becoming awake to my power that I will show through them.
This priesthood power has been removed from the leaders of the second Church of Christ, for the apostles have truly fallen asleep as described in D&C 86:2-3, giving way for Satan to sit and reign in this now defunct second Church of Christ:
D&C 86:2-3 (Heavenly Father's comments in parenthesis)-
"Behold, verily I say, the field was the world, and the apostles were the sowers of the seed;
And after they (the apostles in your current day) have fallen asleep the great persecutor of the church, the apostate, the whore, even Babylon, that maketh all nations to drink of her cup, in whose hearts the enemy, even Satan, sitteth to reign (Satan now controls the second Church of Christ through his false prophets and apostles, for they have fallen asleep and have been cut off from my revelations)--behold he (Satan, even Lucifer) soweth the tares; wherefore, the tares choke the wheat and drive the church into the wilderness (the church is now without direction from God, akin to being driven by Satan into the wilderness)."
______________________________
Doctrine & Covenants 86:3
3 And after they have fallen asleep the great persecutor of the church, the apostate, the whore, even Babylon, that maketh all nations to drink of her cup, in whose hearts the enemy, even Satan, sitteth to reign, behold he soweth the tares; wherefore, the tares choke the wheat and drive the church into the wilderness.
Wed, Jul 24, 2024
After they (the twelve apostles, given in verse 2), had fallen asleep-this means that they no longer received the oracles of God, or direct revelations from the mouth of Jesus Christ like Joseph Smith received them, through whom Joseph spoke Christ's very words as they came into his mind or as he heard from his voice, except on more rare occasions. The word "asleep" means that there was no longer direct communion with Jesus Christ who could come before them, and with whom they could conversed, face to face, and be able to write his very words. Their revelations, if they were humble and open, would come only by the Spirit or the Holy Ghost. This was a dramatic decrease in the true direction and leadership for the saints of God. This is the meaning of the word "asleep" in this context.
The whore and Babylon (the tares, including those church leaders who introduced abominable doctrines like plural marriage) continued to exist with the Saints (the wheat). These leader tares that came and intermingled with the wheat led the members into wicked paths and false doctrines like plural marriage and that black worthy men could not hold the priesthood.
The LDS church was then driven into the desert wilderness of the western United States, once these apostles were asleep and no longer received the oracles or revelations from God, like Joseph Smith received them direct from Jesus Christ.
142F1-142F13: "I am up early in my private room, awake before the rest of my family gets up. I came to the west end of Heavenly Father's wheat field for some reason that I don't know. I found a spot to kneel that wouldn't crush any wheat. It was a sunny and blue-skied day on this beautiful celestial orb!
I asked for my Heavenly Parents to come. I then looked over the field and saw a man laboring in the field, bent over among the wheat. As I observed him he had in his right hand a sickle, and was cutting the stalks of wheat. When he looked up, he saw me and came in front of me, standing a little above his wheat field in the air. I knew he was Heavenly Father. He spoke to me after he arrived:
'Raphael, when you saw me laboring in my field, you looked up references to D&C 86 in your index when we spoke about the parable of the wheat and tares: You read in your post 32A8 how I was gathering my wheat from this field back in October 25, 2016, even three years ago. You then reflected on what we have been saying to you that all of the elect on earth would be changed to become terrestrial mortals by the end of 2019.
Raphael, it takes time for us to select and harvest our wheat. Time is not so much of an issue for us on our celestial orb like it is for you in your time-based world. The event of harvesting our wheat is more the issue, and not when this will exactly occur. We have rarely stated to you exact dates when something will be accomplished, and we often show you things that will happen in the future as if they are happening at the moment. You generally know of the event but not of the exact timing, nor of its precise fulfillment.
However, what you have seen me now doing, in harvesting my wheat in my field with my sharp sickle is now happening, at this current hour in your earthly time. As I select the elect, they begin the process of changing to terrestrial beings. This process involves me selecting these individuals who are my elect, transitioning each part of their physical body by my chosen servants on our celestial orb like your sister K experienced in the pyramid room last week, and then completing the experience through a transfiguration like you experienced last Friday in the domed room. This three-step process in now happening as my servants and I gather the wheat into safe garners.
The safe garners are not now in locations but are the change of their physical state from a telestial mortal to a terrestrial mortal. This process for all of my elect will be completed by the end of 2019. At that time all of my elect will have been changed into terrestrial mortal beings. The gathering of the elect, spoken of in D&C 86:7 will be fulfilled at that time!
D&C 86:7 "Therefore, let the wheat and the tares grow together until the harvest is fully ripe; then ye shall first gather out the wheat from among the tares, and after the gathering of the wheat, behold and lo, the tares are bound in bundles, and field remaineth to be burned."
Starting in 2020, the tares will then be fully started to be bound in bundles by our angels and other servants, for the gathering of our wheat will have been completed in its first phase. There will be other actions we take with the wheat in the process of gathering, but these will be in their terrestrial bodies, and will be done one at a time.'
Heavenly Father then showed me again his sickle that I had seen before as shown in my post 32B2. I saw that this sickle could only be used on a small bundle of ripe wheat stalks at a time. I thought of modern-day harvesters in wheat fields that cut and gather wheat in large swaths. I knew Heavenly Father takes great care in harvesting his wheat, or his elect, one stalk at a time.
I knew also that some of the wheat would be gathered one from a family or several from a community. I felt there would be many more tares left in the field that he cut and gathered as his wheat.
'Raphael,' he spoke, 'you are correct that there are many more tares now in my wheat field than wheat. Satan is abroad now in the land, and has persuaded so many to commit sin and reject us and our gentle promptings.
D&C 86:3-"And after they (the apostles) have fallen asleep the great persecution of the church, the apostate, the whore, even Babylon, that maketh all nations to drink of her cup, in whose hearts the enemy, even Satan, sitteth to reign-behold he (Satan and his evil hosts) soweth the tares; wherefore, the tares choke the wheat and drive the church into the wilderness (this brings upon the true church false doctrines that causes apostasy and the withdrawal of our Spirit from the church and the world. This church started with that church established by the apostles in Jesus' time, and continued with the restored church in Joseph Smith's time with ordained apostles who have now all apostatized from the full truth and their connection with us their Gods)." (words in parentheses given by Heavenly Father).'
I had wondered about what this verse meant above, and it has been clarified today! Heavenly Father smiled and then returned to his wheat field. He bent over and continued his final selection of his elect wheat. I ended my prayer and started my day."

Doctrine & Covenants 86:5
5 Behold, verily I say unto you, the angels are crying unto the Lord day and night, who are ready and waiting to be sent forth to reap down the fields;
Thu, Jul 25, 2024
These angels include the archangel Raphael, who is continually praying before the Father to fulfill the will of God in these last days, in the cleansing of the earth.
107H2-107H13, January 14, 2019: "I came to the overlook point at the edge of the fir forest that is above the Father's wheat field. I could see below me the large oak tree in the northwestern part of that field. I knelt and asked my Heavenly Parents to come. I saw someone working in the field below. I realized that this was my Heavenly Father. I observed him with a sickle in his hand. I was curious how he was using this and whom the wheat represented. He soon looked up, saw me, and beamed himself up in the air right in front of me. He still had his sickle in his hand. I thought of the scripture in Revelations 14:14-20 where Christ, the Son of Man, held a sharp sickle in his hand. I had been in the white cloud on Mount Timpanogas on October 3, 2016 with my sister K (see post 28). At that time I saw Christ on the mountain with a sickle.
Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, you are correct in thinking that this sickle is the one that Jesus Christ held on Mount Zion, as spoken of in Revelations 14:14-"And I looked and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of Man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle."
Jesus Christ used this sickle to reap the earth, which was to begin the harvesting of the fully ripe grapes and to cast these into the great winepress of the wrath of God (see Revelation 14:18-19). This is spoken figuratively, and the winepress of the wrath of God is yet to be pressed. The wicked have yet to be fully removed from the righteous and cast into this winepress. We are now much closer to this happening. This is the same as the event in the parable of the wheat and tares, when the tares of the earth are to be bound in bundles, and the field remains to be burned.
D&C 86:7-"Therefore, let the wheat and the tares grow together until the harvest is fully ripe; then ye shall first gather out the wheat from among the tares, and after the gathering of the wheat, behold and lo, the tares are bound in bundles, and the field remaineth to be burned."
Raphael, I was going through my field of wheat representing the elect of God on the earth, and carefully evaluated each plant. I have yet found some tares, and these I cut down with my sickle. I have placed these aside of my field, on my road that leads to the oak tree. I have asked my angels to bind these tares in bundles, soon to be burned with fire.
D&C 86:5-"Behold, verily I say unto you, the angels are crying unto the Lord day and night, who are ready and waiting to be sent forth to reap down the fields."
The wheat is now fully ripe, ready for harvest. This means we will now soon gather them, one by one, into our safe garners. We need, however, to remove the tares from among them, separate them one by one, and bind them ready for burning. This means that the time is now at hand for calamities of all varieties to come to the earth, which calamities are aimed at destroying the wicked, the nations of the earth, and the evil establishments and organizations on the earth. Our great work in saving the elect and destroying the wicked is to be done one at a time. I know the works of each of my children, and your Heavenly Mother and I will access the hearts and works of each of our mortal children. This time of judgment in separating the wicked from the righteous is now fully at hand.'
Heavenly Father then gave me the sharp sickle to heft and feel in my hands. It had a wooden handle, and the blade was curved. It was very sharp, for I passed my thumb across it softly so as to not cut myself. The blade seemed made of fine steel.
Heavenly Father spoke again: 'Raphael, we will use this sharp sickle in separating the wicked from the righteous in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This is where my wrath will begin when it comes on the earth as a whirlwind. I will first separate those who blaspheme me in the midst of mine house. (see D&C 112:26)
Your Heavenly Mother and I will also call upon the angels to help us separate the wicked in preparation for their removal from the earth. We will work in coordination with our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, and with John the Beloved, his son, who has been commissioned to do much of the destructive work among the nations and peoples of the earth.
I gave the sickle back to my Father. He took it, smiled at me, and then said that he needed to return now to his field below. He departed and I saw him return to the same spot he was in when he first saw me this morning.
I thanked him in my mind for his great revelation to me this morning. I thanked him for showing me his sharp sickle too. He then looked up from his field below, acknowledging to me that he heard my grateful words. He continued again in his work."

Doctrine & Covenants 86:5-7
5 Behold, verily I say unto you, the angels are crying unto the Lord day and night, who are ready and waiting to be sent forth to reap down the fields;
6 But the Lord saith unto them, pluck not up the tares while the blade is yet tender (for verily your faith is weak), lest you destroy the wheat also.
7 Therefore, let the wheat and the tares grow together until the harvest is fully ripe; then ye shall first gather out the wheat from among the tares, and after the gathering of the wheat, behold and lo, the tares are bound in bundles, and the field remaineth to be burned.
94H12-94H19: "Evening- We have been sadly watching the fire on the mountain creep closer and closer to homes. The area burned is now 106 square miles. It is now the number one fire concern in the nation! The fire is burning on our side of the mountain now in four spots. We can see when large trees get engulfed, for the flames are 50-80 feet tall and very wild!
Anyway, I have been thinking of the experience this morning at the fountain of living water when our three Gods came. A local Stake President asked again tonight for all the members to pray at 8:00 p.m. to implore God to stop the fire. I came into my room at 7:50 and prayed. I felt to pray along with the stake but I felt that the fires would still burn as they would burn and were directed by the angels.
Here are two scriptures about this.
D&C 38:11-12
"For all flesh is corrupted before me; and the powers of darkness prevail upon the earth, among the children of men, in the presence of all the hosts of heaven-
Which causeth silence to reign, and all eternity is pained, and the angels are waiting the great command to reap down the earth, to gather the tares that they may be burned; and, behold, the enemy is combined."
D&C 86:5
"Behold, verily I say unto you, the angels are crying unto the Lord day and night, who are ready and waiting to be sent forth to reap down the fields."
To me, it seems that all the angels are now poised in the celestial realms on the earth, and our three Gods are giving more and more directives for them to "reap down the fields" in the earth, causing calamities and destructions among the wicked. The mortal angels are simple and many are unlearned in their mortal lives. Look at this scripture:
D&C 35:13
"Wherefore, I call upon the weak things of the world, those who are unlearned and despised, to thrash the nations by the power of my Spirit."
I came to the lake at God's Loving Healing Center tonight. I knelt by the little stream that flows into the lake. I raised my hands above my head and asked for my Heavenly Father and/or Heavenly Mother to come. I then observed and waited.
My Heavenly Mother appeared before me to my left on the other side of the small stream. She was smiling at me. She seemed very open and accepting of me!
She spoke:
'Raphael, you are correct in that all of the holy angels are poised in heaven. They are waiting our commands to reap the fields (the tares) of the earth. In so doing, the wicked will be destroyed and the elect saved, according to the parable of the wheat and tares.
We have empowered you and all our angels to fully act in our name, with our authority, as we command. Each holy angel awaits our commands and has promised to strictly obey our directions. All is therefore ready for these weak of the earth to thrash the nations by our power and Spirit.
Raphael, you do not know any of our specific directions for yourself and the angels in your conscious mind. However, in your replicated, unconscious self, you are acting in great power as our leader of the angels in these last days, in the celestial realms and in heaven.
Do not fret or worry, Raphael, for all is in control and in our hands. We will lead you and our angels, step by step in this great work. We will prepare the world for the elect who will inherit it. There is a beautiful world ahead!'
I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her comfort and assurance! I feel so safe in her presence and in my Heavenly Father's presence. I love being in their kingdom, speaking to them and especially hearing their words."
107E9-107E14: "Again, in D&C 85:6 "Yea, thus saith the still small voice, which whispereth through and pierceth all things, and often times it maketh my bones to quake while it maketh manifest"
I think the voice that Laman and Lemuel rejected was the voice of the Spirit, and the voice in D&C 85 refers to the spirit sense. Both are referred to being a small voice. The spirit sense pierces the soul.
I remember clearly how overcome I felt, struck with awe even to tears, hardly believing I was experiencing all of this communion with God in my energy class I attended in 2013. This was surely my spirit sense hearing and seeing God! This truly did cause my "bones to quake". I could say it was a small voice and that it did pierce my soul at the time.
I now am accustomed to all of these voices. I no longer feel my bones to quake, but I do know assuredly that I am hearing and seeing God with my spirit sense and my spiritual eyes, or perception. These are the most reliable of all forms of communication with God. I feel so very blessed to have such open, clear communion with God!
In summary, here is one way to distinguish which method of communication is received from God: 1. Spirit sense-small, piercing to the soul, making bones to shake, causes quaking and burning in the very inner soul, a deep sureness. 2. Voice of the Spirit-still, small voice, received through feelings and enlightenment. 3. Audible voice of God-often makes the ground to shake, or comes in a voice of thunder. In the case of the Nephites in 3 Nephi 11, the people did open their ears to hear this voice, and then they did understand and steadfastly look upward toward heaven from where this audible voice came.
I now usually receive communion with my Gods with my spirit sense and the voice of the Spirit, the two most reliable and sure methods of receiving revelation. I am happy to finally understand how I receive my revelations!"

Doctrine & Covenants 86:7
7 Therefore, let the wheat and the tares grow together until the harvest is fully ripe; then ye shall first gather out the wheat from among the tares, and after the gathering of the wheat, behold and lo, the tares are bound in bundles, and the field remaineth to be burned.
Thu, Jul 25, 2024
After Israel is gathered to the garners (these are the wheat), the tares are left in the world. At some point, the tares are bound and burned at the second coming of Jesus Christ. See 108F7-108F18, January 20, 2019, when the tares and the fallen oak tree (representing the LDS Church) are burned with violent fire. This full reference is given below.
The gathering is first to Zion, spiritually the physically.
The wheat gathered to garners means this: God will change their bodies from telestial to terrestrial mortals, thereby fortifying them against the hardships of the last days ahead of them. See my notes that describe this in detail in 3 Nephi 16:12-16, D&C 101:65 and D&C 45:70.
July 25, 2024: I have reviewed all of the references from the scriptures and the Book of Raphael on the subject of the wheat being gathered and the tares bound and burned. It is important to realize that the mighty oak tree, representing the LDS Church, fell in the whirlwind even while the wheat was still in the field. The wheat survived well the whirlwinds and testing of mortality. The tares had been just removed from the midst of the wheat, and were bound in bundles on the road, ready to be burned.
At this time the wheat was then gathered by the F, and the angels moved them into safe garners. After removal of the wheat to garners, the tares had been previously bound in bundles on the road, and the wheat field was only stubble. The mighty oak tree was decayed and dead, lying on its side next to the wheat field. At this time, the mighty fire from the Father came and burned up the tree, the bound tares, and the stubble. This represented the second coming of Jesus Christ when the telestial will burn with a mighty fire.
108D3-108D10, from Heavenly Mother: "Your Heavenly Father and I also have been choosing in our visits the topics we wish to reveal to you. Do you have any questions this morning before I share what I want to talk about?'
I responded: 'Mary Ann G had asked me in an email how Heavenly Father actually bundles his tares together that he places on that road that will be burned? (see paragraph 107H7) Heavenly Mother replied: Raphael, the wheat and tares are figurative of individuals who are living in your telestial world, our mortal children. Heavenly Father does, however, physically and spiritually, remove the tares from his wheat field and place them on the road that leads to the oak tree to the west. These are plants he cuts with his sickle, thus removing them from their source of nourishment from their roots. This is effectively removing them from the growing wheat, allowing the wheat to gain more nourishment from the soil. The roots of the tares quickly die. Cutting the tares is akin to removing the wicked from the earth in preparation for the millennial day. Giving the wheat more room in the field and more access to nourishing soil is akin to more revelation and personal direction to the righteous from us, their Gods.
When the tares are left to wither and dry on the road, the Father then asks certain of our holy angels to come and bind these tares into bundles. They are given twine that Heavenly Father has made himself in our celestial world from certain of our plants here. This twine is extremely strong so that many tares may be grouped and tied tightly together. They are stacked vertically on the road by the angels of God. Their fate to be burned with fire is thereby assured.
The burning comes after the harvest of the wheat into garners. This too is figurative, but also actually is done by Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ and me. We gather the righteous elect, one by one, into safe places prior to the second coming of Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son. We protect and nourish them. When they are gathered, they continue to grow and are still nourished by us, unlike the tares that are bound to be burned. Each wheat and each tare represents an adult individual son or daughter on the earth. The wheat, or the elect, are cared for and receive now most of our attention, whereas the tares have demonstrated by their actions and choices that they don't want any part of our millennial world, or a terrestrial or celestial life.
Once the field is harvested, the wheat is gathered in safe garners and the field and tares are burned. Finally, the field is again prepared and replanted with new wheat. These are representative of those choice children of God who will come forth in the great millennial era. They will grow up without sin unto salvation. See D&C 45:57-58 (Heavenly Mother's comments in parentheses).
"For they that are wise and have received the truth, and have taken the Holy Spirit for their guide, and have not been deceived-(these are the wheat who listen and follow me, the Holy Ghost, and received revelation and direction from their Gods), verily I say unto you, they shall not be hewn down and cast into the fire, but shall abide the day.
And the earth shall be given unto them for an inheritance; and they shall multiply and wax strong, and their children (these are the new millennial elect that will be planted in Father's wheat field after it is burned and then prepared for planting again) shall grow up without sin unto salvation. (These millennial children will have no devil to tempt and lead them into sin and wickedness. There will be no tares that will come into the Father's field until the end of the millennium when Satan and his hosts are released again by you, Raphael, for a little season. Then the earth will be burned with fire.)
Jacob 5:77 "And when the time cometh that evil fruit shall again come into my vineyard, (this is another allegory one of the branches of the olive tree, speaking of the time at the end of the millennium), then will I cause the good and the bad to be gathered; and the good will I preserve unto myself, and the bad will I cast away into its own place. And then cometh the season and the end, and my vineyard (this is the same as the entire earth) will I cause to be burned with fire (this fire will be the death of the earth. After this, the earth will resurrect, and there will be a new heaven and a new earth.)" See Ether 13:9"
108F7-108F18: "I thanked Heavenly Father for his words and then continued watching. I next saw Heavenly Father call more angels, and speak to them on the road by his field. I also was given power to hear his words to them: 'My chosen holy angels, I am now going to harvest my wheat, for the time of harvest is fully come. They are prepared and have responded to our counsels and commandments, and are all accepted of us. They have obeyed our commandments and have acted in righteous ways. These are our elect children in mortality.
As I cut the stalks of wheat with my sharp sickle, I will lay them down in my field. I will act fast and steady until all are cut by me, one by one. I want each of you to follow me and gather tenderly my cut stalks of wheat. Take them one at a time into my garners that I will show to you. Each may go to a different place of safety, whether a spiritual and/ or a physical place where they will be preserved and protected. As you pick up my cut wheat stalk, I will whisper into your mind where this one elect child should be safely taken by you.'
I saw all of the angels were very attentive to the directions of Heavenly Father. He then started at the far northeastern section of the wheat field and started harvesting his wheat. The angels came and went quickly to keep up with the great skill and diligence with which Heavenly Father worked. They worked very fast and accurately.
In the process of time, I saw Heavenly Father and his holy angels work steadily until the entire field was harvested and each of the wheat stalks had been safely gathered to their places of safety, one at a time. I saw Heavenly Father then speak again to his angels: 'My servants, you have worked tirelessly in helping me harvest into safety each of my elect, represented by these wheat stalks. I will greatly bless you because of your diligence in laboring with me in my field! (see Jacob 5:75)
Heavenly Father and the angels of God, who had labored with him, arose in the air over the eastern end of his field. I was also in the air, on the western end of the field, watching with my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother at my sides. Heavenly Mother spoke to me: 'Raphael, you will notice that in your vision yesterday, the tares were first removed from among the wheat, allowing the wheat to grow more vigorously before the sunshine of our revelations. The wheat also received the nourishment from our heavenly soil, now that the tares were bound in bundles. You still see these bundles on the road next to the wheat field. In the field there is stubble, the remains of the wheat, their roots and a small part of the stalk above the ground. This represents that the roots in the telestial world where the wheat grew no longer are important, for they have fulfilled their purpose.
You will also see the fallen oak tree in the northwestern part of the field below us. This tree has further decayed since the mighty whirlwind blew it over. All is now ready to be burned with fire! Watch now Heavenly Father at the east end of his wheat field in the air.'
I looked in the distance to Heavenly Father next to his holy angels in the air. Heavenly Father raised his hands above the field below him and great flames of fire came down from the sky and lit upon the field and the road. I saw the stubble, the bound tares, and the once mighty oak tree catch on fire and burn. There was a thick, black smoke, which arose from the tares, and especially from the dead oak tree. The fire was ferocious and wild. The heat of its burning rose in the air and I could feel its radiant intensity. I next saw it burn steadily and then die down to embers. Soon all was still again.
My Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother turned to me and Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, let's now go down to my wheat field.' We descended from the sky to the place where the oak tree had fallen. I saw no sign of this mighty oak, except for some ashes on the ground. The hole where the roots of the tree had uprooted had been gradually filled by Heavenly Father with surrounding soil, nearly to the level ground. This soil had protected the underlying roots from damage.
Heavenly Father reached out and mixed the ashes from the burnt tree with more soil and then pushed this mixture on top of the area where the deep hole had been created. The soil mixture made the ground now level again. Heavenly Mother spoke: Raphael, the ashes from the fallen oak tree are the true doctrines and practices that remain of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. These will be transferred to the new Church of Christ that will soon spring forth from the roots of this live oak tree.'
I then looked over the field and it was completely clear of stubble, ready for a new planting of millennial wheat. On the road I saw no sign of the tares that had been bound with Heavenly Father's twine. There was neither root nor branch. I thought of the scripture from Malachi 4:1-3: "For behold the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the Lord of hosts."
Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, we have many allegories depicting this great event that you have just witnessed in my wheat field. The parable of the wheat and tares is one of these allegories, or parables. They all refer to the great harvest of our elect and the destruction of the wicked, soon to happen in your day. We will tell our faithful which allegories or parables apply to this time, through our revelations to them. These are found in the words of our prophets who saw your day, recorded in your scriptures.'
I thanked both of my Heavenly Parents for their revelation and demonstration again today, at this wheat field below! I said I loved them both and would keep their commandments. I felt very clarified with this new knowledge of what will soon happen in our day."

Doctrine & Covenants 86:7
32A4-32A11: "I teleported across the eastern river, representing Heavenly Mother, and started walking northward. I couldn't see anything except for the river going north, on my left. I knew it was the river representing Heavenly Father.
I walked or 'floated' some 10 miles, and looked back at the temple and the fountain behind me, from where I came. The fountain seem brilliant and sparkling, even from that distance. I felt I then needed to go to the other side of the river, which I had followed to this point. It seemed like I was in a wide fertile plain or flat valley.
When I teleported to the left side, or western side of the river, I came upon a large wheat field. I saw someone in the far distance using a sickle to harvest the wheat. Most of the field had been cut, and only a little was left growing.
I started walking to this man who was working. I felt it was my Father, and that I had been in this field before! I remember when it was planted by my Father. As I walked, I wondered if I should disturb him, for he seemed to be working very hard and steady, in harvesting the remainder of the field, before the field it represented on earth would be burned. This was the thought that came into my mind.
As I wondered what to do, my Heavenly Mother appeared next to me, walking with me. I stopped and said:
'Oh Mother, I am so glad to see you! I am so glad you are here!'
I asked her if that was really my Father, working so hard at the end corner of this wheat field. She replied:
'Raphael, your Father has been very worried about his elect on the earth at this time. He has been harvesting the wheat in this, his choice field, which represents his elect who are like the wheat of the earth. However, on earth they are mixed with the tares, or the wicked. As he harvests the wheat here, in the celestial world, he is also gathering his wheat or elect on the earth, one by one. He is gathering them all, all that will hear his voice, on the earth. Once they are all gathered, from among the tares, then he will give the word to the destroying angels to bind the tares in bundles, and burn and destroy the field on the earth. This is in fulfillment of D&C 86:7, and is almost completed as we speak.
D&C 86:7- 'Therefore, let the wheat and the tares grow together until the harvest is fully ripe; then ye shall first gather out the wheat from among the tares, and after the gathering of the wheat, behold, and lo, the tares are bound in bundles, and the field remaineth to be burned.'
In this fertile plain in the celestial world, your Father has planted large fields of various crops, including this field, watered by the river from the fountain of living waters, next to our temple. There are mountains, woods and meadows here too. It is so breathtakingly beautiful here, Raphael! You frequented this area in your premortal life, and loved to come with your Father, to farm this choice land.
Now, it is finally being harvested before the end comes, or the destruction of the wicked. We are just moments away from the end of the harvest. Let's not disturb your Father now. He will make the final decision on the timing of the destruction on the world, or the wicked, which will come upon the world as a whirlwind.
Thank you, Raphael, for being faithful and among the choice wheat in his field. All of the mortal angels are also so precious in our sight! Please share our love with them.'
At this time, I felt I had to write all this down, immediately. I can still see my Father, tirelessly working his sickle in the harvest of his elect. I can see this will be done any moment. I know the time is short. . .
Now that I am finished writing, I am satisfied with the message that was given to me tonight. The time is far spent, and there is little remaining. He is seeking that we follow him, our Father, so that he may gather us to safe places. We who are angels, have to get ready also, as he will individually direct us.""
88H1-88H8: "I came this morning to the overlook from the edge of the fir forest, looking over Heavenly Father's wheat field below me to the east. I could see that the wheat was tall and still green. I looked around and didn't perceive my Heavenly Father or my Heavenly Mother. I knelt at the overlook facing the wheat field. I then asked that my Heavenly Father come or one of them come to me in answer to my prayer. I then saw both Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother on the dirt road just north of the field of wheat below me. They were both inspecting their wheat. They seemed very involved in what they were doing.
Heavenly Mother then looked up and saw me. She came to me in the air and when she arrived she smiled at me! She extended her hand. I stood and took her hand, and we both came down to my Father on the dirt road. He was examining his wheat-he had bent a few stalks next to the road to look at the wheat. When we came, he let go of the wheat and turned to us on the road.
Heavenly Father then spoke to me:
'Raphael, we are glad that you came here to my wheat field this morning! These stalks of grain represent just some of our millennial elect who have already been born into mortality. They have grown rapidly and are yet green, for they haven't yet matured to their full growth and stature. However, in not many years they will be already to harvest!
I have been watching for tares among these elect and have found none. This is the first time in this eternity that the weeds haven't grown along the sides of my new wheat! These grains will develop soon and represent our millennial elect. These will be able to enter into the peaceful millennial day! The tares of their parent generation that are mixed with wheat are many and are already encumbering the earth. These tares will be burned with fire. However, these young and tender wheat plants are still immature. They will be spared the fires, for our angels and servants will protect them from the ravages coming on the earth so that they survive these last days' calamities.'
I then thought of the parable of the wheat and tares.
I first read D&C 101:63-66
"Again, verily I say unto you, I will show unto you wisdom in me concerning all the churches, inasmuch as they are willing to be guided in a right and proper way for their salvation-
That the work of the gathering together of my saints may continue, that I may build them up unto my name upon holy places; for the time of harvest is come, and my word must be fulfilled.
Therefore, I must gather together my people, according to the parable of the wheat and the tares, that the wheat may be secured in the garners to possess eternal life, and be crowned with celestial glory, when I shall come in the kingdom of my Father to reward every man according as his work shall be;
While the tares shall be bound in bundles, and their bands made strong, that they may be burned with unquenchable fire."
I then asked my Father about this parable of the wheat and tares, found in these verses and also in D&C 86 and Matthew 13:24-30. I asked if this green and tender wheat in his field was this same wheat?
Heavenly Father responded:
'No Raphael, this miniature wheat has been born into the families of the earth, and are yet babies and small innocent children. Their parents on earth are those described in the parable of the wheat and tares. Many of them will be gathered also into the garners to possess eternal life, but all of the new green wheat will be gathered into the garners. These young and innocent wheat plants are now on the earth and will become the first generation to bring forth the families of the earth in the millennial day of peace and rest.
Their parents are now embroiled in a society and culture on your earth that is in great turmoil. The tares are yet at large, to seek to dissuade them from coming unto us, their Gods, and be fully gathered into our garners, protected by our holy angels and are guided also into the millennial days ahead.
Soon the wheat will all be gathered and protected by our angels and other servants. They will come to holy and safe places for protection. Then will the tares be bound together in bundles and be burned, even with the fire of the indignation of God:
D&C 86:7
"Therefore, let the wheat and the tares grow together until the harvest is fully ripe; then ye shall first gather out the wheat from among the tares, and after the gathering of the wheat, behold and lo, the tares are bound in bundles, and the field remaineth to be burned."
Matthew 13:40
"As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world."
Revelation 18:8
"Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her."
Raphael, the holy places where our faithful who come unto us their God will be gathered are the safe garners we will provide. Mostly, these will be spiritual places of protection for our elect. Our angels will be fully involved as we direct them to protect our elect by our supernatural powers! Other servants will also be involved. It will be a day of reckoning for our elect, for they need to come unto us so that we may spiritually protect them from the turmoil coming on the earth! Some we will guide to physical places of protection also, but all those that we have chosen will be spiritually gathered into our garners.'
I thanked my Father for his descriptions of the way these scriptures will be fulfilled. I was also so glad to see this new green field of millennial wheat, or the new young elect. I know all of these elect will have such an amazing place to live in once the wicked are destroyed by fire and Jesus comes again to establish a very peaceful world!
My Heavenly Parents then turned from me and went back to inspecting and caring for their new green wheat. I could tell they loved these choice sons and daughters very much!"
99A8-99A16: "In the evening- I came to the overlook at the fir forest looking over Father's wheat field. I knelt and felt clear inside. I then asked for my Heavenly Father or Heavenly Mother to come. I then looked down at the field below me and thought I saw my Heavenly Father resting under the oak tree! He looked up and signaled for me to come to him. I stood and came immediately in the air to a place next to his side. He gave me the thought not to kneel but to remain standing.
Heavenly Father then spoke to me:
'Raphael, I have asked you to come here to me this evening at my wheat field. I want you to come with me to examine my current elect as well as the wicked who are now on the earth.'
He put his right hand on my shoulder and together we walked to his wheat field. As we approached, I thought that some of the plants looked like weeds, about the same height as the wheat, but with different coloring.
Father then spoke to me:
'Raphael, you see my wheat field. There are tares among the wheat, which are still growing with my wheat, my true elect. On earth, no one can tell who are the wheat and who are the tares. However, when I inspect my field with you we can easily see who are wheat and who are tares.
D&C 86:7-
"Therefore, let the wheat the tares grow together until the harvest is fully ripe; then ye shall first gather out the wheat from among the tares, and after the gathering of the wheat, behold and lo, the tares are bound in bundles, and the field remaineth to be burned."
Let us now go close to the wheat of my field.'
We came next to one stalk of wheat, bursting with ripe wheat, almost ready to harvest. Heavenly Father asked me to look closer. As I did, I saw the individual on earth who was represented by this single stalk of wheat! I saw this was a man who tried to live in a kind, wholesome way but was not aware that many of the things he believed were false. Heavenly Father said that he was living a Christ-like life and would readily accept the truth, as it would be revealed to him. He was an elect child of God.
We then looked at one of the tares, or weeds that had grown up with the wheat. Heavenly Father told me to look carefully also at this seed stalk. I did, and then saw another man who seemed proud and did not accept truths from God that I saw my Heavenly Parents had whispered to him in his life. He considered himself very religious, but was caught up with the outward practices of the religion and in strictly following established policies and procedures. He often neglected his loved ones and his neighbors, unless by so doing it would make him look good. I saw his Christian service was more of a facade than that motivated by true care and concern for another.
Heavenly Father then spoke:
'Raphael, we who are the Heavenly Parents of each of these two sons, look at how they both act in all the circumstances of the premortal and mortal life. We easily can tell who is a wheat and who is a tare. We are very impartial and look for a life of goodness, love, service and humility.'
Heavenly Father then went to several more wheat and several more tares. I was able to see the individual lives that each plant represented. I started to see why one was designated a wheat and why the other was a tare. We saw both men and women this evening.
Heavenly Father then spoke:
'Raphael, your Heavenly Mother and I will decide which of our children are our elect, or the wheat, and which are tares, or the wicked. Both types are among all nations, kindreds and peoples and also among most religions of your day. Those who are wheat will be gathered first by you, our angels and servants, and brought to safety. When all are harvested from my field, I will then send forth the destroying angels to bind up the wicked in bundles and then I will send forth the fire to burn them up.
Raphael, you and our angels will not know who are to be gathered except that we reveal this to you by our Spirit. When you receive our command, act swiftly to fulfill our directions. We will work through our angels and other servants whom we call in our great work of gathering the elect of God.'
I looked into the eternity eyes of my Heavenly Father at this time. I believe he was filled with love and acceptance of the weaknesses of all his children. I believe he was filled with understanding and judgment also. I felt great assurance from him that all would be very fair in the choosing of the wheat or the tares. I felt he and Heavenly Mother would prove every one of their children, and try to entice them to choose the right way to live and be most happy.
I thanked him for such a wonderful experience tonight! I said I loved him and would act in full obedience to him and my Heavenly Mother."
127B3-127B13: "This morning I came to the side of the uprooted live oak tree. I came near and the branches were dry and brittle and the leaves that remained were also dry and lifeless. Even the roots that were in the air were brittle and dry! This tree was surely dead that was exposed to the air. I knew that there would be a few live roots still buried in the ground that had moisture and were hidden and yet alive.
I walked down the road to the beginning of the wheat field. I knelt on the road facing the waving grain in this field. I asked for my Heavenly Parents, or one, to come to me.
Both Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother appeared at the overlook to my immediate west and were shining brightly! I received the impression to come before them in the air. I then stood and traveled in the air to a place right before them in the air, on my knees. They were both smiling. I felt the radiant light of their persons shining into and through me. I love to feel their Holy Spirit beaming from their very presence into me! I felt very loved and accepted.
Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, you can see that the oak tree portions that are above the ground in the air have dried out and no longer has life. This is analogous to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that you attend each Sunday. We have removed the priesthood and keys from the apostles and prophets in this church. They are now without our heavenly guidance to lead this church by revelation. They would feign to profess they still receive our light, but we do not witness to the sincere, open, and humble followers of Christ that they are speaking the truth. However, you are still blessed if you attend sacrament meetings in this church and receive the emblems of the sacrament with your neighbors there. You may still participate as much as you wish with fellow members of this church, for they are our children whom we love, and many are our elect. There are many services this church still offers you that are helpful, such as online scriptures and distribution services from which you may purchase temple garments and helpful media and scriptures. Always confirm everything you do buy our Holy Spirit that we will send upon you.
This same sort of situation existed in the Jewish religion and church in the days that Jesus Christ lived on the earth. He was open and forthright in his declarations that he was the Messiah, the promised redeemer of the world. Many of the Jews sought to kill him, but before his time of death he eluded their efforts and taught our truths to the believing people of the house of Israel, to whom he was sent. He visited their synagogues and temple as much as he was able.
He mournfully spoke these words during his ministry on earth:
Luke 13:34-35
"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killeth the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not!
Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord."
Raphael, such also will be the state of this Church and people. Were you to become public, and outwardly reveal even a part of what we have shown and revealed to you, you would be labeled as a false teacher or false prophet and be cut off from the LDS Church. You would be excommunicated like M.S. or many others who believe other than the current dictated doctrine from the church.
We desire that you and our holy mortal angels continue to act and work in secret before the world, and not reveal our precious truths to them except to whom we tell you. The wheat and the tares must needs still remain for now.
D&C 86:7-11
"Therefore, let the wheat and the tares grow together until the harvest is fully ripe; then ye shall first gather out the wheat from among the tares, and after the gathering of the wheat, behold and lo, the tares are bound in bundles, and the field remaineth to be burned.
Therefore, thus saith the Lord unto you, with whom the priesthood hath continued through the lineage of your fathers-
For ye are lawful heirs, according to the flesh, and have been hid from the world with Christ in God-
Therefore your life and the priesthood have remained, and must needs remain through you and your lineage until the restoration of all things spoken by the mouths of all the holy prophets since the world began.
Therefore, blessed are ye if ye continue in my goodness, a light unto the Gentiles, and through this priesthood, a savior unto my people Israel. The Lord had said it, Amen."
Raphael, you and our holy angels and celestial servants who live in the flesh are to be kept hidden from the world (see verse 9) until we do all of our great restorative work, and bring upon the world its very destruction. Your priesthood remains with you, and our high priestesses are now beginning to be ordained among you by your Heavenly Mother herself. Our power will be made manifest through you all in our own way as we begin to restore all things, and prepare the elect to receive their great redeemer and Savior, Jesus Christ.
We will be with you and our elect servants continually during this difficult transition to the millennial world. We will restore our Church of Christ in our own way, and again bring forth the hidden and still alive roots of the live oak tree that haven't withered in the dry air.'
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his wonderful revelation to me! I feel greatly comforted in his care and guidance. I told him and Heavenly Mother how much I loved them and that I would do as they direct me."

For ye are lawful heirs, according to the flesh, and have been hid from the world with Christ in God--(these good men are lawful heirs, for I have foreordained them in their premortal state to receive and exercise the full power of my priesthood on the earth in their flesh).
Therefore your life and the priesthood have remained (speaking to these good men that I have foreordained), and must needs remain through you and your lineage until the restoration of all things (this is now beginning to fully happen, and will culminate with the reestablishment of my third Church of Christ and the Church of the Firstborn) spoken by the mouths of all the holy prophets since the world began.
Therefore, blessed are ye if ye continue in my goodness (if these men do not lose their priesthood power, see D&C 121:34-46), a light unto the Gentiles, and through this priesthood, a savior unto my people Israel. The Lord had said it. Amen."
Raphael, it is now time for the good men in the second Church of Christ to receive my true revelations and to exercise their priesthood power as my Beloved Son, Jesus Christ and I will show them! They need to put on their beautiful garments (Isaiah 52:1) of the priesthood, even of my eternal power, given to me by ordination, even back to my first parent Gods. These will be in part the ones through whom we will restore Israel and establish again the third and final Church of Christ on the earth. Our angels and servants we have called will assist them. My power will be poured out upon all who seek us in prayer and by their good deeds:"
There is another meaning to this same prophecy in D&C 86:8-11, given below. I confirmed on 12-29-2023 that both interpretations were true and from Heavenly Father. The tribes of Israel and the LDS Church are the only places where the true priesthood has been past down from their fathers. Verses 8-11 applies to both of these groups. They each will have missions to help the Gentiles and the remnants of Israel upon the earth in these last days, or the elect of God, and bring them to the New Jerusalem.
203K7, from Heavenly Father:
"D&C 86:8-11 'Therefore, thus saith the Lord unto you, with whom the priesthood hath continued through the lineage of your fathers- (Raphael, the priesthood of the men of the tribe of Levi has continued since the tribes escaped to the north from their Assyrian captors. This priesthood of Levi has continued in their tribe only, whereas the main prophet, like Moses, has been ordained a High Priest in the Melchizedek Priesthood. This priesthood has been passed down by ordination from their main prophets through the many centuries, even from the prophets in Israel when they were living in the land of Palestine. The current main prophet holds this priesthood that he received by the laying on of hands from the previous main prophet. It is to this group of priesthood holders of the northern tribes that verses 8-11 are addressed, as my servant Gideon wrote to you about. [203K3: 'I received a short email from S this morning where he referenced D&C 86 about the parable of the wheat and tares. He wondered if it may be referencing the northern tribes. He said 'The words of the lineage of your fathers, lawful heirs, hid from the world, restoration of all things, light unto the Gentiles make me think it may be referencing the northern tribes.' He referenced D&C 86:8-11])
For ye are lawful heirs, according to the flesh, and have been hid (in the hollow earth) from the (outside) world with Christ in God-
Therefore your life and the priesthood have remained (Raphael, we honor the priesthood held by both the men of the tribe of Levi among the tribes of the north, and their main prophet. This lineage through their fathers is from a different source than your priesthood lineage, which came from Peter, James and John when they conferred this priesthood upon Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery. The tribes of Israel received their priesthood from Moses, even as described in D&C 84:6-12), and must needs remain through you and your lineage until the restoration of all things spoken by the mouths of all the holy prophets since the world began. (This time is now at hand, ever since the tribes have arrived at the New Jerusalem. They have been receiving instruction from you of the many records of our peoples that are being gathered as one in their classes.)"
July 23, 2024:
There are three different interpretations of these verses 9-11: First, those "Who have been hid" refers to the righteous men who honor their priesthood in the second church of Christ (LDS Church), even though the keys of the priesthood have been removed from the head leaders in this church.
Second, those who are the the tribes of Israel who have the priesthood from their ancient fathers, who came from the north and are now in the New Jerusalem. They were hid from the world in the hollow earth, and now are hid in the terrestrial mortal earth, not able to be seen among the inhabitants of the telestial mortal earth.
Third, the final and third interpretation of verses 8-11, which came to me this morning, is its fulfillment with Raphael: Raphael has been hid in secret from the world, even while he was called, received abundant revelations, and compiled the Book of Raphael. His mission is to be a light to the Gentiles, to gather Israel, and to be the prophet of the celestial church of God and be in charge of the celestial temple in the New Jerusalem. He is truly hid from the world.
On this latter third interpretation, I prayed humbly to my Father, and he wanted me to write his words that he gave me this morning:
"Raphael, you are correct that D&C 86:8-11 can be interpreted three distinct ways. This was our intention from the moment that Jesus gave this revelation to Joseph Smith, our prophet in 1832. The third interpretation has been confirmed upon you today, which I give below:
Raphael, you are the servant spoken by my prophet Isaiah found in his 49th chapter, verses 1-11, and our Branch (see Isaiah 11:1-2) through whom we will work our strange work and strange act, and our marvelous work and a wonder in these last times before the second coming of Jesus Christ. You have purposefully been hid from the the world with Christ in God. We called upon you from the heavens, commissioned you to do our great work, and gave you our power to fulfill our work. What Joseph Smith, Jun started and what you will continue, constitutes "the restoration of all things spoken by the mouths of all the holy prophets since the world began."
______________________________
Doctrine & Covenants 86:10-11
10 Therefore your life and the priesthood have remained, and must needs remain through you and your lineage until the restoration of all things spoken by the mouths of all the holy prophets since the world began.
11 Therefore, blessed are ye if ye continue in my goodness, a light unto the Gentiles, and through this priesthood, a savior unto my people Israel. The Lord hath said it. Amen.
Tue, Jul 23, 2024
The second interpretation of this message in verses 8-11 is directed to the tribe of Levi (see notes on verse 8 above):
The priesthood of those of the tribe of Levi will continue through the generations until these last days, the days of the restoration of all things.
I believe that the sons of Levi will offer an offering in righteousness (See D&C 13:1, 128:24). These are the sons of Levi who will offer up an offering in righteousness, once they fully are purged, and come to the truth about their Savior and the restoration of the gospel through the prophet Joseph and Raphael's record.
Many of these will be part of the 144,000 who will be sent to rescue the elect of God in the telestial world in the last days. In this calling, they will be a light unto the Gentiles and a savior to Israel.
The third interpretation of this message in verses 8-11 is directed to Raphael (see notes on verse 8 above): Great revelations have been given to Raphael which he wrote in the Book of Raphael. This is part of the marvelous work and a wonder, and God's strange work and act in the last days:
Isaiah 29:14: "Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid."
Isaiah 28:21: "For the Lord shall rise up as in mount Perazim, he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act."

Doctrine & Covenants 86:11
11 Therefore, blessed are ye if ye continue in my goodness, a light unto the Gentiles, and through this priesthood, a savior unto my people Israel. The Lord hath said it. Amen.
Fri, Jul 26, 2024
Compare Isaiah 49:6, which uses this same wording, substituting savior with salvation. The savior or salvation will be in part through all three groups given in the notes in verses 8 and 10 above who honorably hold the priesthood in these last days, and act under the influence of the Spirit. These groups are 1) the righteous men in the second Church of Christ (LDS Church), 2) the sons of Levi who will minister and help bring to Zion (in the terrestrial world) the elect of God from the telestial world, and 3) the role of Raphael who acts as a savior in administering the waters of separation ordinance to the faithful in the New Jerusalem celestial temple.

Doctrine & Covenants 87:4-5
4 And it shall come to pass, after many days, slaves shall rise up against their masters, who shall be marshaled and disciplined for war.
5 And it shall come to pass also that the remnants who are left of the land will marshal themselves, and shall become exceedingly angry, and shall vex the Gentiles with a sore vexation.
Mon, Dec 18, 2023
This idea which came to me while praying on August 16, 2014: the events in Ferguson, MO with the blacks rising up in protest to a shooting death of a black person by local police is this: The police are extremely marshaled for war, even with armored personnel carriers and big guns! The blacks who are protesting are descendants of the slaves of an earlier day. The police have warfare equipment and are now confronting the blacks. There are government-imposed curfews now. This seems to be a fulfillment of this scripture...
Now, about the remnants in verse 5 (a different group, I believe, from the "slaves in verse 4): this most likely refers to the remnant of Israel, who have come across the Mexican border into the US, when the invading army comes to destroy them. They will petition the Lord, he will come and destroy the invading army (Rev 19). The remnants will become angry and will go out from the cities of the mountains to the fields to Babylon and vex them as a lion among beasts of the forest, and the Lord will make their horn iron and the feet brass (see Micah 4 & 5). See Isa 10 (end) also.
174F1-174F12: "I read last night of a major City in the U.S., Seattle, and how its city council voted 7 to 2 to overturn the mayor's veto and defund the police department. It was distressing to read, for what follows will certainly be more anarchy and violence without anyone to stop them.
I then read about hate crimes that blacks were doing to whites, all based on skin color. At that moment I thought of this scripture:
D&C 87: 4-5
"And it shall come to pass, after many days, slaves shall rise up against their masters, who shall be marshaled and disciplined for war. (I thought that the slaves were black people and their masters were white, for this was the way it was in 1832 when this revelation was given before the civil war which is described in verses 1-3. Those who are marshalled and disciplined for war are the black people, those who are promoting Black Lives Matter (BLM). I believe they are well armed by China, for they have lots of automatic weapons and ammunition).
And it shall come to pass also that the remnants who are left of the land (I believe they are remnants of the slaves, or their descendants who are predominantly in inner cities) will marshal themselves, and shall become exceedingly angry (this is exactly what is now happening with all the hate crimes done by the black race against the white race, in large cities and on university campuses, throughout the land of the United States), and shall vex the Gentiles with a sore vexation."
I had these thoughts in my mind as I came to my Gods in personal prayer this morning. I came to the granite cliff at the east end of Heavenly Mother's upper garden. Here I knelt and called upon my Heavenly Mother in prayer, for I felt to pray to her.
I saw her come from her temple to the west, in a beam of light! She stood before me, looking sober and serious.
'Raphael, this scripture you have read and written is fulfilled in your current day with the increasing violence with race crimes and assaults. There will be increased rioting in your land, particularly in large cities where these well armed BLM and Antifa groups are organized and led by the liberal communities in the city and state governments. You have correctly interpreted this scripture.
The indignation of your Heavenly Father and I will very soon be poured out upon our wayward and rebellious children. The only safety will be for our elect to stand in holy places and not be moved. Your Heavenly Father spoke to you these things from this very location last March, 2020. (See your post 154E3 to 154E10, and 154H4).
D&C 87: 6-8
"And thus, with the sword and by bloodshed the inhabitants of the earth shall mourn; and with famine, and plague, and earthquake, and the thunder of heaven, and the fierce and vivid lightning also, shall the inhabitants of the earth be made to feel the wrath, and indignation, and chastening hand of an Almighty God, until the consumption decreed hath made a full end of all nations;
That the cry of the saints, and of the blood of the saints, shall cease to come up into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth, from the earth, to be avenged of their enemies.
Wherefore, stand ye in holy places, and be not moved, until the day of the Lord come; for behold, it cometh quickly, saith the Lord. Amen."
All that your Heavenly Father and I have told you over the years is coming quickly upon your nation and upon the earth. We are inspiring our elect to stay home, to connect to us in diligent prayer, and to prepare every needful thing. Home is where they will generally find protection and safety, unless we direct them by our Spirit otherwise. Their spiritual preparations are the most important, for how can we reach them and give them our protection and blessings if we are far from the thoughts and intents of their hearts?
Mosiah 5: 12-13-Hear the words of King Mosiah:
"I say unto you, I would that ye should remember to retain the name written always in your hearts, that ye are not found on the left hand of God, but that ye hear and know the voice by which ye shall be called, and also, the name by which he shall call you.
For how knoweth a man the master whom he has not served, and who is a stranger unto him, and is far from the thoughts and intents of his heart?"
Heavenly Mother then stepped closer to me and took my hand. 'Raphael, you have spent time to know us, your Gods. We have therefore given to you of our Spirit, and inspire you, direct you, and will protect you. We will do this to every one of our elect who humbly and diligently comes unto us, their Gods, in the name of Jesus Christ, their Savior and Redeemer.'
I saw her smile upon me and shine her light and love upon me. I knew I would be with her today by my side, in constant prayer."

Doctrine & Covenants 87:6-8
6 And thus, with the sword and by bloodshed the inhabitants of the earth shall mourn; and with famine, and plague, and earthquake, and the thunder of heaven, and the fierce and vivid lightning also, shall the inhabitants of the earth be made to feel the wrath, and indignation, and chastening hand of an Almighty God, until the consumption decreed hath made a full end of all nations;
7 That the cry of the saints, and of the blood of the saints, shall cease to come up into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth, from the earth, to be avenged of their enemies.
8 Wherefore, stand ye in holy places, and be not moved, until the day of the Lord come; for behold, it cometh quickly, saith the Lord. Amen.
Sun, Apr 30, 2023
The consumption decreed is the desolating sickness (including nuclear sickness) which shall cover the land. The protection is to stay inside our homes (stand ye in holy places) until fallout is gone.
Another possible meaning of standing in holy places is when the Saints are gathered to the Holy Mountains of the New Jerusalem, they are standing in holy places. For the mountains will be defended by the Lord at the great battle of the marriage supper of the Lamb.
187E1-187E8: "This morning I came in prayer next to the fountain of living water. I drank from the fountain, and then faced south towards the temple and knelt. I asked for my Heavenly Father to come.
He appeared in front of me and spoke: 'Raphael, you listened yesterday to an audio report of the severe hardships in Texas from freezing weather. There have been rolling blackouts in the power grid, lack of water and food. Starvation has become a reality for some people.
This severe weather has been largely man made, through weather manipulation technology now in possession of the powers of government and those foreign powers who are taking over secretly your government and industry. They wish to punish those states like Texas who do not want to comply to federal controls. They also have technologies to create fires on the land in cities and forests, to cause limited earthquakes, to initiate other severe weather such as tornadoes, hurricanes, drought in certain areas, or severe hot or cold temperatures. They have technology to send from space satellites high intensity laser beams to destroy targeted locations. These technologies have been developed in secret and are part of the arsenal of weapons of your country and several communist nations. On top of this, these same governments have nuclear bombs which have the potential of creating EMP (electromagnetic pulse) strikes and large nuclear destructions in their targets. These may be sent from land or sea, and from near or far launching areas.
All of these technologies of war have been tried and tested, and will be actively used in coming days. However, we, your Gods, are aware of all and will not allow these to be used where we don't want them used. In addition to these man-made threats, we will send our own natural destructions upon the wicked from the convulsing earth and destructive calamities. The population will not know if these destructions are from man or God, or are from natural causes. The end effect will be the same.
D&C 87:6-8
"And thus, with the sword and by bloodshed the inhabitants of the earth shall mourn; and with famine, and plague, and earthquake, and the thunder of heaven, and the fierce and vivid lightning also, shall the inhabitants of the earth be made to feel the wrath, and indignation, and chastening hand of an Almighty God, until the consumption decreed hath made a full end of all nations.
That the cry of the saints, and the blood of the saints, shall cease to come up into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth, from the earth, to be avenged of their enemies.
Wherefore, stand ye in holy places, and be not moved, until the day of the Lord come; for behold, it cometh quickly, saith the Lord. Amen."
My Father then immediately departed. I thanked him in my mind, and ended my prayer in the name of Jesus Christ."
181F11-181F29: "I have wondered why I saw the fallen oak tree again catch fire from a lightning bolt. I had seen this before (see my post 154H3 to 154H8, and post 157D16). I wondered if the event I had seen before just repeated itself again as the same event, or if it was a new time happening? I was kneeling there, facing God's temple to the west. I asked if Heavenly Mother would come to me.
She came in a beam of light from her temple, and stood before me in the air. She was so majestic looking and her cape was blowing behind her. Her eyes were very bright and ablaze, it seemed, with fire.
She immediately spoke to me: 'Raphael, you have seen the same event of the lightning bolt coming and striking the fallen oak tree, even as in your post 157D16. The fallen oak tree represents the fallen Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Soon our hand will expose some of the current leaders of this church, which shall be as the shock of a lightning bolt to many of its members. We will not tolerate such flagrant sin and corruption to remain unexposed among those who profess to know us, and supposedly lead the Saints to believe in their words, as if these words come from us, their Gods. We have departed fully from this church that was once our telestial church on the earth.'
My Heavenly Mother ceased to speak, and stood in royal majesty. I had not recalled seeing her full of fire and vengeance as I saw in her eyes tonight! Her cape was wildly whipping in the wind also. I felt to shrink from before her.
She moved backwards and was about halfway to her temple when another lightning bolt lighted the skies around her! There was a very loud clap of thunder and then smoke. Heavenly Mother had departed in this dramatic ending to my short prayer tonight.
I wondered what would be exposed that would anger her so much as to display such anger and vengeance. I guess I won't know unless one of them reveals it to me. I will then wait and see. I thanked her for her words and visit. I closed my prayer in the name of Jesus Christ.
After my prayer, I remembered my sister K recommending that I listen to M.S.'s latest podcast. I listened to it tonight and was impressed with what he said about the children, and the sacrifice and killing of the children, even in our nation and in the LDS Church. I liked his ability to speak clearly about a very terrible and abominable sin now in the land and apparently in the Church.
I then returned to the granite cliff and knelt there, facing the celestial temple. I asked once again for Heavenly Mother to come to me and confirm if what M.S. said about the sin against the children was true in our day.
She immediately came by my side, in light and glory. Her visage was pleasant and very clear. She spoke: 'Raphael, my son, M.S. is correct that the vengeance of God is kindled against those in your nation, the world, and in the LDS Church also, who defile and kill the innocent children. We will no longer tolerate this abomination! We will fully expose all perpetrators of this dark and sinful practice soon, even before the eyes of the people and of the Latter-day Saints.
The scripture will soon be fulfilled, for our wrath is kindled and we will repay:
D&C 87:6-7
"And thus, with the sword and by bloodshed the inhabitants of the earth (and the wicked leaders of the LDS Church who hide their abominable sins against our young children) shall mourn; and with famine, and plague, and earthquake, and the thunder of heaven, and the fierce and vivid lightning also (like you have just seen tonight and this morning in your prayer), shall the inhabitants of the earth (and members of the LDS Church) be made to feel the wrath, and the indignation and chastening hand of an Almighty God, until the consumption decreed hath made a full end of all nations;
That the cry of the saints, and of the blood of the saints (and their slain children), shall cease to come up into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth, from the earth, to be avenged of their enemies. (comments in parentheses from Heavenly Mother).'
Heavenly Mother had spoken very clearly to me! I now know in part why the foreign armies are being summoned to this land, to cleanse the promised land and the people who commit such heinous crimes, and to destroy their wicked and infiltrated and corrupt nation, even the United States, and the evil in the churches of this land.
I knew that upon the LDS Church it was prophesied to begin, and from this Church spread forth upon the inhabitants of the earth. It would be a day of burning, of desolation, of weeping, mourning and of lamentation, and as a whirlwind it would come upon the face of the earth (see D&C 112:24-26).
I too felt the fire of vengeance swell in my soul against these wicked people and their abominable practices against innocent children. I am glad to be privileged to blow my trumpet of God tomorrow to bring forth a cleansing army to our land.
I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her words and revelations to me. I will recommend to those on my email list to listen to and ponder M.S.'s message about the slaying of the innocent children, now and in times of old.
Heavenly Mother then instantly departed, for she had confirmed my request. I closed my prayer in the holy name of Jesus Christ.
I then played on my cell phone Handel's Messiah "And He Shall Purify". This was very moving to me, for I believe it refers in part to purging the priesthood of the wicked practices against the children. Here is the scripture that was sung by the choir:
Malachi 3:3
"...and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness."
I also had the Battle Hymn of the Republic come up on my YouTube and I listened to this.
This was even more of an emotional experience for me! I remember singing this hymn at the sacrament meeting where, in the spirit, I received my trumpet of God from my Heavenly Father on July 17, 2016. I have included this on the thumb drive which is located in the "Posts" folder of that thumb drive, entitled "the-battle-hymn.html".
Anyway, I realize we have a battle coming against evil, and God will be victorious. God will cleanse the wicked and their evil practices from this promised land!"

Doctrine & Covenants 88:6-13
6 He that ascended up on high, as also he descended below all things, in that he comprehended all things, that he might be in all and through all things, the light of truth;
7 Which truth shineth. This is the light of Christ. As also he is in the sun, and the light of the sun, and the power thereof by which it was made.
8 As also he is in the moon, and is the light of the moon, and the power thereof by which it was made;
9 As also the light of the stars, and the power thereof by which they were made;
10 And the earth also, and the power thereof, even the earth upon which you stand.
11 And the light which shineth, which giveth you light, is through him who enlighteneth your eyes, which is the same light that quickeneth your understandings;
12 Which light proceedeth forth from the presence of God to fill the immensity of space
13 The light which is in all things, which giveth life to all things, which is the law by which all things are governed, even the power of God who sitteth upon his throne, who is in the bosom of eternity, who is in the midst of all things.
116E16-116E23: "Heavenly Mother spoke to my mind: 'Raphael, what one calls intuition in your world is really the subtle connections to your unconscious mind. Because you live with your conscious mind directing your actions in your telestial mortal world, your unconscious mind is what you normally don't perceive. It works hidden or behind your conscious awareness.
Tonight I spoke directly to your unconscious mind from the area on the path south of where you were kneeling. Your intuition came to you, and you felt you should stand and walk to me. This direction from me was not real clear, but was fully understandable to your unconscious mind. I am glad you followed your intuition and came to me here.
I might also give witness to your being, in your unconscious mind, from the Holy Ghost. This is my spirit, or light that I send to enlighten your mind and heart. It also comes principally to your unconscious mind. When you feel my light coming into your entire body, this too is equivalent to my spirit, or my light of the Holy Ghost that permeates and flows into you. This comes from me. When you confirm the truth of something, this light of the Holy Ghost from me will enlighten your heart, causing your bosom to burn or shine within you if it is right or true. If it is not right, you will have no such feeling, but you will have the absence of my light, or even a stupor of thought.
When you go outside and hold still, and try to perceive the light matter coming from space to the earth, you are able to feel light matter. It feels like little particles of light, all flowing in the same direction. This is what is called the light of Christ. It is defined in D&C 88:6-7,11-13-"...the light of truth; which truth shineth, this is the light of Christ. As also he is in the sun, and the light of the sun, and the power thereof by which it was made
And the light which shineth, which giveth you light, is through him who enlighteneth your eyes, which is the same light that quickeneth your understandings'
Which light proceedeth forth from the presence of God to fill the immensity of space-
The light which is in all things, which giveth life to all things, which is the law by which all things are governed, even the power of God who sitteth upon his throne, who is in the bosom of eternity, who is in the midst of all things."
The light of Christ is the light matter that comes from our first parent Gods to proceed forth to all of their creations. When it comes into our galaxy, we receive this same light to fill our beings and send this forth to sustain all of our creations in the great domain of our galaxy. This is also called the light of Christ, the light of truth, the spirit of God, the spirit of the Lord, or the light of life, or light matter. It is real and tangible matter, even that which you can perceive and feel coming down from the sky from space. It is this light that quickens your understanding, that enlightens your mind. It enlivens your conscious and that of every man and woman that comes into the world.
When you feel my light from my presence, this also is light, even the light and spirit of the Holy Ghost. It is much more concentrated light matter that comes from my presence. My spirit of the Holy Ghost comes to you as intense light that penetrates and flows completely through you. I direct this light to witness and comfort you, to be accompanied by love, peace, sureness and acceptance, among other positive emotions. This is the intense light I want you to reflect and shine forth from your heart that ultimately comes from me. This is the light of the Holy Ghost.
ll people, all creations receive the light of Christ. It flows to all things through the immensity of space. However, my Holy Ghost light comes with more intensity and focus, even with strong emotions that are attached to this light, all controlled by me in my role of the Holy Ghost. This comes to my faithful who have the gift of the Holy Ghost, and to those I may choose to send the Holy Ghost's influence.
I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her revelation on light, and the differences between the light of Christ and the light of the Holy Ghost."
189K12-189K15: "Evening-I came to pray tonight at the forest pool near the pyramid room on the celestial orb. I sought to clear my mind of earthly things, and then drank living water. I knelt by the pool's edge and prayed to my Heavenly Mother. She came under the pool's surface, bright and shining. She asked for me to come before her in the pool.
I stood and intended to come in front of her. I was immediately kneeling in her presence, looking up into her smiling face! I could see the top surface of the water above us. Neither of us were in any way wet. Instead, it felt like we were in a room of sorts with a rocky surface and protrusions on the walls like I would imagine a pool to have. The pool was very bright from the light coming from my Heavenly Mother.
She spoke to me: 'Raphael, I may bring you into this beautiful forest pool in the water, or in any other place on, in, or above our celestial orb. The surrounding matter is of no consequence to us, for we may be in, above and through all things. We are fully aware of everything that we have created, and visit all of these regularly. We discern all things and comprehend all. (see D&C 88:6-13).
We also know the laws of each spiritual realm by which all things are governed. You, who are in a lower telestial realm, may not even be aware that such higher realms and laws for their control and order exist. We know all kingdoms, realms, orders, and laws, We dwell in the midst of eternity in our power and dominion of all these things."

Doctrine & Covenants 88:7
7 Which truth shineth. This is the light of Christ. As also he is in the sun, and the light of the sun, and the power thereof by which it was made.
137E27-137E30, from Jesus Christ: "'Raphael, you see below us that the mini sun still is shining my light I received directly from the Father, even though you don't see this light flowing from your Father to me and to the mini sun. However, this light still comes from and through us, by our power.
D&C 88:7-"Which truth shineth. This is the light of Christ. As also he is in the sun, and the light of the sun, and the power thereof by which it was made."
Raphael, the sun referred to in this verse, includes both the large sun at the center of your solar system and the mini sun in the center of the earth. My light enters now into the two large holes and makes its way to the mini sun and shines forth from the still molten side of the mini sun, to the inner earth below.
I made the mini sun not to rotate, so that as the earth below it rotates, the light of the mini sun shines upon its entire surface, exactly as the sun shines upon the outer surface of the earth. We created atmospheric conditions just like on the earth's surface, with clouds, rain and all of the climatic conditions one would find on the outer surface."

Doctrine & Covenants 88:7-11
7 Which truth shineth. This is the light of Christ. As also he is in the sun, and the light of the sun, and the power thereof by which it was made.
8 As also he is in the moon, and is the light of the moon, and the power thereof by which it was made;
9 As also the light of the stars, and the power thereof by which they were made;
10 And the earth also, and the power thereof, even the earth upon which you stand.
11 And the light which shineth, which giveth you light, is through him who enlighteneth your eyes, which is the same light that quickeneth your understandings;
89A2-89A10: "Heavenly Father then spoke:
'Raphael, we have shared with you many revelations about our worlds and the changing earth to a millennial, terrestrial state. We have shared with you much about the salvation of man, our plan for the eternal happiness of our children. We have shared with you the importance of thought control so that your feelings are happier and best serve you. I would now like to share with you all about the light that comes from the presence of God and fills the immensity of space.
D&C 88:11-13
"And the light which shineth, which giveth you light, is through him who enlighteneth your eyes, which is the same light that quickeneth your understanding.
Which light proceedeth forth from the presence of God to fill the immensity of space.
The light which is in all things, which giveth life to all things, which is the law by which all things are governed, even the power of God who sitteth upon his throne, who is in the bosom of eternity, who is in the midst of all things."
Our first Father and Mother God created their first celestial home at the center of the universe in the "bosom of eternity". They created light from raw elemental matter. This light does not have an intelligence, but it has both characteristics of illuminating the rest of their creations as well as enlightening the mind and intelligence of all creations. For their children, this light enlightened their intellect, helps in the comprehension of all things, and refines all understanding. This light continues to be created from elemental matter by these first Gods. This light shines from the presence of these, our first parent Gods, to all of their creations, whether to the celestial orb itself, the water and atmosphere, all the plants and animals, and especially to all of their children.
As some of their children became gods, even as they were gods, our first parent Gods connected them to the source of their light they created. As their children gods branched out in new galaxies from the parent galaxy of the first Gods, the light flowed from the home galaxy to these outlying galaxies. This flow of light then filled their children's galaxies and creations with light, just as was on the first creation and galaxy.
Since this time in eternity until now all of the galaxies of the gods have been linked together in webs or channels of light. These attached each parent galaxy to children's galaxies in a large web of light! All of this light still proceeds from the presence of our first parent Gods, even to us and all of our creations, through all of the galaxies of the gods in between us and our first Gods. We keep in touch with each of the gods who are our direct ancestors back to our first parent Gods using this light medium, for this is how light flows to us. This light path provides lines of connection and communication also.
We direct the light that flows into our own galaxy to go to all of our creations, for this light is now in our domain. The light of god flows to all of our stars, planets, orbs of all varieties, moons, comets, and all bodies of matter. The telestial and terrestrial worlds in our galaxy each have different levels of light that flows to them from the central core of our galaxy, even from Kolob and the governing stars where light flows into our galaxy.
This light also flows from this galactic center to our children who are exalted and who live in their own galaxies. There is a large flow of light entering into our central hub and out to our own creations and to our children gods and their creations. One cannot see the flow of light between the galaxies, for light is not illumined unless it shines on matter. Between our galaxies is a void of matter except for light.
In your solar system, the light of the sun flows from the central hub of our galaxy to the sun. As this light flows into the sun, the sun is ignited with the light matter and creates great light and heat. This in turn flows to your earth and reflects off your moon. When this light comes to your mother earth, it enlivens all the creations we have made on the earth and the earth itself. This light enlivens the life of all creation. It really begins flowing from our first parent Gods in the bosom of eternity to fill the great immensity of space!
D&C 88:7-10
"Which truth shineth. This is the light of Christ. As also he is in the sun, and the light of the sun, and the power thereof by which it was made.
As also he is in the moon, and the light of the moon, and the power thereof by which it was made;
And also the light of the stars, and the power thereof by which it was made;
And the earth also, and the power thereof, even the earth upon which you stand."
Raphael, since we do all things pertaining to your eternity in the name of Our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, all of the flow of light from our presence in our central galaxy to your sun, moon, stars and the earth, are in his name and by his power, even by the power of God. The flow of light to our previous eternity orbs is not by his power, but by our own power. All of this power is really the same, but in the current eternity we do all activity like this in the name of the current Son of God.
I will continue to explain more on the flow of light and its great enhancement on all of our creations at another time. What I have revealed to you tonight is enough for you to absorb for now.'
I sat next to my Heavenly Father. He was explaining all of this to me, his son, on the bench in the darkness of the night, with soft light coming from his very person. I saw his expressions and was greatly enlightened by the light from his being that flowed into me!
I thanked him for the greatness of his words tonight on light! I felt very enlightened and clarified! I then asked that he give me more understanding as I review what I wrote down in my journal. I want to really understand all!"
187B2-187B8: "I also wondered about the light of Christ, spoken of in D&C 88:7,11
"Which truth shineth. This is the light of Christ...
And the light which shineth, which giveth you light, is through him who enlighteneth your eyes, which is the same light that quickeneth your understandings."
I have always understood that this light is from Christ, and is our conscience. I would like some enlightenment on this topic. I read about this being light matter that comes from the first parent Gods that proceeds forth to all God's creations (see my post 116E21). I wrote in this post 116 that "It enlivens your conscience and that of every man and woman that comes into the world." See more on this light of Christ from my post 118C4 and post 123F16.
I came this morning to the circling waters, even as I did last night. I asked for my Heavenly Father to come. He immediately came in front of me and spoke to me: 'Raphael, the light of Christ is light matter that comes from our first parent Gods, and proceeds from them at the center of the universe. This light penetrates all who live in a realm of glory, even to the telestial, terrestrial and celestial realms. It does not go to a kingdom or place of no glory where Satan will ultimately be confined, nor to the areas outside our universe.
The light of Christ, as it is named, is able to enlighten the minds of our beloved children that we have sent to the earth. It penetrates both our mortal and post mortal children in the physical and spirit earth. This light helps our children choose good from evil, light from darkness, and is one way we Gods bless and guide our children. We enlighten them to make good choices, all dependent upon their own choosing of whether they will follow this guidance or not.
Our light of Christ also comes into each realm of our creations. It has the same purpose in each to enlighten and enliven our creations in those realms. We call it the light of Christ, but in reality it was created by our first Gods in their center creation, and proceeds from them to all of God's creations in their vast universe, in all of their spiritual realms of glory.
You have been well taught by your Heavenly Mother last night, and my words to you yesterday morning, about some of the respective roles of us, your Gods. We have made these divisions to help enhance the progress and growth of our children who are striving to return to us. As they progress, we give them more clarity and direction in each higher realm, even to where you and I commune together in a high celestial state of understanding and clarity. We desire each of our children to reach this high state of communion with us, but there are relatively few who do. This takes persistence, obedience to our promptings, and our continual guidance. Our ultimate aim for our celestial elect children is to make them one with us, where we are continually with them and they are continually synched with us. We then guide them throughout their mortal life by speaking to their thoughts throughout their waking days. At night we may give them more directions or teachings, even from our celestial realms of glory.'
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his enlightening words!"

11 And the light which shineth, which giveth you light, is through him who enlighteneth your eyes, which is the same light that quickeneth your understandings;
12 Which light proceedeth forth from the presence of God to fill the immensity of space
13 The light which is in all things, which giveth life to all things, which is the law by which all things are governed, even the power of God who sitteth upon his throne, who is in the bosom of eternity, who is in the midst of all things.
123D2-123D21: "Both Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother then came to me from the shores of the lake below! They were shining brightly as they came through the trees to where I was in the grove. They were holding hands, and both were smiling!
Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, stand and come with us!' I stood, and came between them. I was excited, but had no idea what would happen next.
We were immediately next in space, I think above a beautiful swirling galaxy! The galaxy below us wasn't visibly moving, but I could tell outside stars looked like it had been spun.
Heavenly Father spoke again: 'Raphael, in front of us is our beautiful galaxy! This contains all of our own creations that your Heavenly Mother and I have made from the beginning. The center of our galaxy is where our celestial creations are located. This region is very bright and shines in all directions into space. The earth upon which you dwell lies in the outer telestial regions of our galaxy. The terrestrial regions are in the middle ring area.
The light matter from our first parent Gods flows in a path from the center of our universe into our central telestial region. This comes to us through the immensity of space and is pulled into the center by our very large kokaubeam by gravity. When it flows into that area, we then receive much of this light ourselves, or divert it to our entire galaxy, so it too will receive the light. Some of this light flows to your sun and your earth.
The light matter that falls upon your own earth from the sky has travelled on pathways from our first parent Gods. There is also light energy that comes from your sun that you can feel, for it warms your body and makes things bright. This light energy is created by the light matter that falls or flows into your sun and is ignited due to the intense heat of your sun. In the conversion process light matter becomes light energy.
Therefore on your earth, you receive both light matter from the center of our galaxy from us, and light energy from your sun. Both come down from the sky to the rotating earth, and bathe the surface of your earth in light.
D&C 88:11-13-"And the light which shineth, which giveth you light, is through him who enlighteneth your eyes, which is the same light that quickeneth your understanding.
Which light proceedeth forth from the presence of God to fill the immensity of space-
The light which is in all things, which giveth life to all things, which is the law by which all things are governed, even the power of God who sitteth upon his throne, who is in the bosom of eternity, who is in the midst of all things."
Raphael, this light enlightens your understanding, for the light matter comes into your entire body and enlivens your very being. You have felt this intense light of the Holy Ghost come from your Heavenly Mother to you and pass through your entire being. This is intense light matter that is more concentrated from her being that passes into and through you. It originally comes from our first parent Gods at the center of the universe, and proceeds through the immensity of space to our galaxy to us, and from us to your earth and to you. This same light enlightens your understanding as it passes into and through you. We may add with this light the emotions of love and acceptance and power and understanding, as we desire. These palpable feelings enlighten your mind and entire being as the light flows into you.
When we wish to enlighten your understanding with our revelations, we send forth this same light from our beings, coupled with the message or emotion we wish to give you. Your mind receives this light and message, which enlightens your understanding. This is pure communication and revelation send from us to you. All of our thoughts and words are also sent with our light. These are also understandable to you, and you receive the exact meaning and message as it is embedded with the light that quickens your understanding.
Alma spoke of this enlightenment from God that comes when you and our children receive our light, which is imbued with our revelations and quickens the understanding of our children (see Alma 32:28). The light, or spirit of the Lord, "begins to swell within your breast; and when you feel these swelling motions, ye will begin to say within yourselves-it must needs be that this is a good seed, or that the word is good, for it beginneth to enlarge my soul; yea, it beginneth to enlighten my understanding, yea it beginneth to be delicious to me."
We thus may send our words, our thoughts, and our emotions all with the light matter that flows into our receptive children. When they receive this, their understanding are enlightened and it becomes delicious to their souls. This is very real, and is the very process of how we lead our children gradually, line upon line, with our revelations. This light with which we send our messages to our child is the medium that comes into their spirit and body. This is also the same light that comes to you from your Heavenly Mother when she sends forth the intense light of the Holy Ghost. It is all the same light matter, only in different intensities, and couples with different revelations as we desire, whether an emotion or feeling, or thoughts and words. All enlightens and gives understanding to our receptive children.
There are those of our children who reject our truths we send to them with our light. They are not enlightened nor do they understand, for they cast out the light we send, and by their own will do not allow the light to come into their minds and hearts. They therefore cast it away because of unbelief. They are then not enlightened, for our light only comes into our receptive children. The messages and revelations we send to them in our light are cast aside and never reach our recipient.
We therefore may only give our revelations to our receptive and humble children who open their minds and hearts to us. If they have preconceived ideas, and close their minds and hearts to us, the light does not flow into them, but is repelled because of their own will and choice. They may turn aside our counsels, shrouded in our light that we send to them. Our revelations come into them only if they receive them. If they don't receive our light and truth that we send to them, they will not receive our revelations. We then revoke the blessing that would have attended our words and light. They then "say in their hearts: This is not the work of the Lord, for his promises are not fulfilled. But wo unto such, for their reward lurketh from beneath, and not from above." (See D&C 58:32-33) See also (D&C 93:31-32).
For the faithful who are humble and open, we send our light and revelations gradually, to lead them carefully and to receive more. As they obey, we give them more. You have received all that we have given to you, for you have been open receptive, and your understanding have been enlarged. This is the way we give our elect our revelations-all shrouded and coupled with our light that comes from us.
The spirit of God is also called light and truth:
D&C 84:45-47-"For the word of the Lord is truth, and whatsoever is truth is light, and whatsoever is light is spirit, even the spirit of Jesus Christ.
And the spirit giveth light to every man that cometh into the world, and the spirit enlighteneth every man through the world, that hearkeneth to the voice of the spirit.
And every one that hearkeneth to the voice of the spirit cometh unto god, even the Father."
Raphael, the light matter that we send with our revelations and emotions is called the spirit of God. This is how we communicate and inspire our children. This is what enlightens their souls and gives them understanding. This is what become delicious to them, and makes them want more from us. As they accept our words and obey, we give them more. Thus they are led by our spirit to us. We teach them of the truths that we have previously sent upon the world. As they study and learn of our words, of our Redeemer Jesus Christ, and of our written words, we continue to enlighten them and lead them. This way gradually leads all of our faithful who hearken to our Spirit, even the light and truths we send to them.
The light matter is not a living being, but made by our first parents gods from elemental matter that exists outside our universe. We too may create light matter, but we allow them to create it all as they wish. This light flows to us through the vast immensity of space within our universe. We receive this light and redirect it to all of our creations in our own galaxy. We send it with our emotions, our messages and it is called the Spirit of God. We tailor this light to enliven and quicken all of our creations, and give revelations and understanding to our beloved children. This is the same light that comes from your Heavenly Mother in a higher intense form, even the light of the Holy Ghost.
We have poured more and more light with our revelations upon you, Raphael. We will reveal all things to our faithful via this same light that continually flows to us and from us. All of our creations and galaxy is sustained with the power from this light that we shed upon all.'
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his amazing words. What he told me by revelation came steadily and quickly, and enlightened my mind and understanding. It was all so delicious to me!"

Doctrine & Covenants 88:22
22 For he who is not able to abide the law of a celestial kingdom cannot abide a celestial glory.
171E7-171E9, from Heavenly Mothe: "'Raphael, this is how our elect feel and how they will act, even in mortality when they again receive in the flesh our Spirit to direct them. They may not remember consciously what I have taught them in the celestial realms, but their hearts and minds will be drawn to the directions our Spirit gives them. When they come to Zion, their hearts and minds will thus be conditioned to drop the things of their past and receive fully the things of God. They will receive the laws of the celestial kingdom gladly.
D&C 88:22
"For he who is not able to abide the law of the celestial kingdom cannot abide a celestial glory."
All those who are quickened by the Father and I and come into our celestial realms in their spirit to be taught, already abide the law of the celestial kingdom. This is what they are willing and eager to receive.'"
______________________________
Doctrine & Covenants 88:22-24
22 For he who is not able to abide the law of a celestial kingdom cannot abide a celestial glory.
23 And he who cannot abide the law of a terrestrial kingdom cannot abide a terrestrial glory.
24 And he who cannot abide the law of a telestial kingdom cannot abide a telestial glory; therefore he is not meet for a kingdom of glory. Therefore he must abide a kingdom which is not a kingdom of glory.
176I1-176I15: "I reread what I wrote last night and felt a confirmation it is all true. These simple truths of the different realms of glory are well known to God, but not to man who has lived his/her life in the telestial world. The concept of realms being superimposed on top of each other is also a remarkable concept. Although it is commonly believed in the LDS church for the dead to depart into the world of a paradise of God and still be on earth (in a terrestrial glory), Latter-day Saints don't think about how this idea of being superimposed on top of another realm really can work. I think what Heavenly Father revealed last night is a real eye opener to these truths of one realm being superimposed on top of another. This can be in a physical world or in a spirit. For instance, the physical terrestrial realm will be superimposed on top of the physical telestial realm for a time during the transition of the earth to a millennial state, where all will become a terrestrial physical earth. This is true for all except the celestial temple area which will also be a physical celestial realm superimposed on top of the terrestrial physical earth.
This is all somewhat mind boggling! God uses this greater knowledge of the laws of each realm or kingdom to work great changes on the earth.
I came this morning to the birch tree forest on the eastern slopes going down to the city of Enoch on the celestial orb. I knew I was in the celestial realm, for all here is in the celestial realm or in the higher celestial realm where God lives and dwells. I drank from the little stream flowing from Lake Beautiful through this grove of birch trees. The leaves were brilliant yellow on these trees, and all appeared to me as fall time.
I then knelt facing the stream, and asked for my Heavenly Mother to come. I intended in my mind to come into her presence. She then descended through the treetops in glory, and soon was standing in the air before me! She was smiling and very bright in her glory.
She spoke: 'Raphael, you have come to realize again this truth found in Isaiah 55:8-9:
"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts."
From the beginning, our first parent Gods created the different realms of glory to accommodate the progression of their children, and to have stages of probation for them. The ultimate goal is that each child would progress to the highest glory that he/she desired and was able to obey the laws of that kingdom.
D&C 88:22-24
"For he who is not able to abide the law of the celestial kingdom cannot abide a celestial glory. And he who cannot abide the law of a terrestrial kingdom cannot abide a terrestrial glory.
And he who cannot abide the law of a telestial kingdom cannot abide a telestial glory; therefore he is not meet for a kingdom of glory. Therefore he must abide a kingdom which is not a kingdom of glory."
Whether a kingdom is a physical mortal, a physical resurrected, or a spirit kingdom, it may still be assigned to one of the realms of glory, whether celestial, terrestrial or telestial. Our physical mortal children may not view these in the physical resurrected or spirit kingdoms unless the ones of a higher state in that same kingdom of glory desire or are allowed to be viewed.
For instance, you view me before you in this celestial realm. You are physically replicated here in your celestial translated state. I could easily desire not to be seen by you, even while in this celestial realm, because I appear to you in my replicated spirit state.'
Heavenly Mother then disappeared from my view. However, she continued speaking to my mind:
'Raphael, I continue to be by you, although you cannot see me, for my spirit is in a higher state than are you in your translated physical celestial state, which is replicated.
Were I to come to you in my full resurrected body, I could also disappear from your view, for this state is also higher than your translated state.'
She then appeared again before me in the air.
'We know all the laws of each kingdom of glory, and each state of man in those glories. We are above all, for we are the Gods of all our creations. We therefore may use our superior knowledge to work and change our creations for our purposes.
Raphael, come here again tonight and I will further explain to you more of the laws of various kingdoms of glory.'
I thanked her for her continuing to explain to me these great truths that Heavenly Father started explaining to me last night."

33 For what doth it profit a man if a gift is bestowed upon him, and he receive not the gift? Behold, he rejoices not in that which is given unto him, neither rejoices in him who is the giver of the gift.
125D24-125D26, from Heavenly Father: "He spoke: 'Raphael, the Lamb's Book of Life is a permanent record for each of our children. We never blot out any entries in this eternal record of heaven. The recordings of your Heavenly Mother will never be erased, nor the recordings of Oriphiel.
The references in Revelation about those whose names are not written in the Book of Life refer to the blank spaces under each first entry made by your Heavenly Mother. If our child has not followed our spiritual promptings, and does not repent, believe and accept Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son, he or she will not be considered having their name written in the Book of Life.
D&C 88:33-"For what doth it profit a man if a gift is bestowed upon him, and he receive not the gift? Behold, he rejoices not in that which is given unto him, neither rejoices in him who is the giver of the gift."
Those that the scriptures refer to whose names are not written in the Book of Life will never have our designated angel Oriphiel write their names in the Book of Life along with the faithful when their names are written at the waters of separation. They will have had the gift of the atonement of Christ freely given and extended to them, but will reject that gift. They won't have their names recorded by Oriphiel except at the great judgment day when we appoint every man according to that which he is due.'"

Doctrine & Covenants 88:37
37 And there are many kingdoms; for there is no space in the which there is no kingdom; and there is no kingdom in which there is no space, either a greater or a lesser kingdom.
191H2-191H13, from Heavenly Mother: "She immediately appeared, like she was waiting for me. I felt so pleased to be before her this morning! She spoke: 'Raphael, over the last two days your Heavenly Father and I talked to you about Nibiru coming twice to your earth, once in the terrestrial realm, and lastly to the telestial realm. This still may be difficult for you to understand. However, we are following the laws of these kingdoms in having Nibiru come to one realm and not to the other.
As all entities with two realms we've created on it may do, so is Nibiru able to do: our creations like a star or planet may appear in whatever realm we create upon their surface. Were our creation a plant or animal, and had we created it in both a terrestrial and a telestial realm then it could appear in one realm and not the other.
When one of our creations has been quickened or created in one realm, it may act, move, and function in that realm. If it was quickened or created in another realm also, then it could act, move, and function in that second realm also. It could only act in one realm at a time, however, unless it could be replicated. In the case of all of our creations, except our children, they may not replicate.
On an earth where many of our creations dwell, we allow these creations to dwell in the various realms we have created on the earth, apart from the other creations in other realms on the earth. This principle allows us to house the spirit dead in realms of the dead on the same earth as those living on her surface in a living physical realm. We can separate the spirit realm from the physical realm also, even of the same order.
For example, the telestial spirit dead may live superimposed upon the telestial mortal realm, and these not see or be connected to each other. This is what we do when a person dies that departs into the telestial realm of the spirit dead. Those on the telestial earth cannot see them any longer or associate with them.
The earth has a telestial, terrestrial, celestial and finally a highest celestial realm. Each of these were created to allow individuals and our other creations of the same realm to dwell in. The lower two realms can further be divided into a spirit realm and a physical realm. This allows multiple areas on the earth where our children and other creations may dwell.
We may have one realm area experience or event without the other realm areas knowing about it. It is analogous to a house with multiple rooms. A person in one room wouldn't know what may happen in another room.
Your earth that we have created has many realms or rooms to house our children and creations, in order to accommodate their progression. It was set up in this way from the beginning with our parent Gods.
When we say something will happen in the future, we may be referring to what may happen in one room, or one realm, and not in the others. Sometimes our children may think our words are not fulfilled since they are thinking it would happen only in their own realm or room.
We, who are gods of our creations, know what happens in all the realms we have created, on the earth and upon our other many creations. Our perspective is greater than all, and our understandings of all the laws and doings in all places is vast. All our creations move forward in our great plans and order as we designed.
D&C 88:37
"And there are many kingdoms; for there is no space in the which there is no kingdom; and there is no kingdom in which there is no space, either a greater or a lesser kingdom."'
My Heavenly Mother stopped speaking. She looked upon me with compassion and said she would help me understand all of these things, even until I knew all. She said she would do so for every one of her elect that would come to her and Heavenly Father with an inquiring mind."

Doctrine & Covenants 88:40
40 For intelligence cleaveth unto intelligence; wisdom receiveth wisdom; truth embraceth truth; virtue loveth virtue; light cleaveth unto light; mercy hath compassion on mercy and claimeth her own; justice continueth its course and claimeth its own; judgment goeth before the face of him who sitteth upon the throne and governeth and executeth all things.
98H12-98H19, from Heavenly Father: "He spoke to me:
'Raphael, I want to speak tonight more about intelligence. When your Mother and I were first chosen to become a spirit daughter and I a spirit son by our own Heavenly Parents, we knew so little. We grew and learned and more knowledge came into our grasp. We absorbed this and grew more intelligent. We grew step by step, growing in more intelligence all the time. This was also true for all our spirit brothers and sisters living in our premortal state together. No one was stagnant at this stage of our progression.
When we came to our earth, we gained more intelligence based on our exposure to using and growing in our physical body. We were more seasoned and intelligent when our mortal probation was completed, for all the accumulated knowledge, skills, and experience had made our base intelligence wiser and able to use all that we had gained in mortality to our future benefit. We had a marked advantage to those spirits who hadn't yet come to their own mortal experience.
When we were admitted into our own Church of the Firstborn, we then grew faster in knowledge and more intelligence. We became diligent, adding more intelligence from the light of revelation that continually flooded into our beings. We were becoming prepared to become God, a couple God. We became filled with more understanding, wisdom, greater perspective, alignment with eternal truth and judgment. We had gained all the attributes of intelligent beings sufficient to be ordained to a God. We have greatly progressed since we had first been chosen by our own Heavenly Parents to become their children.
Some of our spirit siblings attained eternal inheritances of terrestrial and telestial glories. Their intelligence became stunted at the level of glory they chose. They didn't learn of all the truths and knowledge, nor receive of the light of truth that had kept your Heavenly Mother and I progressing and continually growing in more intelligence. Their beings stopped learning and growing and they became limited by the amount of glory they had accepted.
Our Satan brother, one of our siblings, even became more damned than those in the telestial world. He returned to his own original intelligence capability, having been stripped of his spirit body and becoming isolated forever in this damned condition.
On the other hand, your Heavenly Mother and I, and all of our siblings who became couple Gods in eternity, had the continual flow of more intelligence and truth into our beings. We have continually grown and become more intelligent over the eternities. We are more capable and intelligent than we were when we were first ordained to be a couple God in eternity.
Raphael, you are now on a path to receiving more and more light and knowledge, more truth and intelligence! This will greatly enhance you as you too become more and more intelligent.
D&C 88:40
"For intelligence cleaveth unto intelligence, wisdom receiveth wisdom, truth embraceth truth, virtue loveth virtue, light cleaveth unto light"
This means these virtues increase in their capacity, worlds without end.'
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his great revelation tonight to me! I feel so enlightened! I never knew that God continues to grow more intelligent, more and more filled with truth and wisdom as the eternities roll on. This makes perfect sense, however, now that I have been enlightened."

Doctrine & Covenants 88:41
41 He comprehendeth all things, and all things are before him, and all things are round about him; and he is above all things, and in all things, and is through all things, and is round about all things; and all things are by him, and of him, even God, forever and ever.
177A1-177A10: "Tonight I came to the forest pool by the pyramid room in God's Loving Healing Center. I know that my sister likes to come here too. I came because this is where I felt to come tonight. The pool edges seemed dark, but the center was light and glowing. I wondered how this was to be, and if my Heavenly Father was behind this light in the pool.
As I was pondering this, I heard his voice: 'Raphael, touch your hand to the edge of the pool.'
I did so and came immediately in front of my Father! I looked back over my shoulder and saw the edge of the pool above and behind me up in the air. I must have come into this location under the pool.
Heavenly Father then spoke to me: 'Raphael, I have brought you into my highest celestial realm tonight. I gave to you the quiet prompting to come here at the edge of our forest pool. We may choose any place in which to bring you into our highest celestial realm, for we are in all things and through all things.
D&C 88:41
"He (God) comprehendeth all things, and all things are before him, and all things are round about him; and he is above all things, and is round about all things; and all things are by him, and of him, even God, forever and ever."
We are physically below the forest pool, inside the rock under the pool, which is part of the celestial orb. We may come into anything that is our creation in our galaxy, and there abide in our higher celestial orb. As the scripture states, we are "in all things", for we comprehend all things and all realms within our creations.
We know each kingdom or realm and know the laws, limitations, and capabilities of these kingdoms. With our superior knowledge, for we are "above all things", we may plan for the growth, progress and glory of our children. We love each of our children, and seek to bring them to their highest potential, according to their own choosing and desires.
We are now revealing some of the laws of the telestial, terrestrial and celestial kingdoms to you. We do so gradually, by demonstrating our truths even as I am doing before you tonight, inside of our celestial orb. We plan to reveal all things to our elect children, even as fast as they will be able to receive. This is why we have called you, Raphael, to show to you our great truths and revelations, so that you might write these and then share them in time with our faithful elect in the terrestrial kingdom. It will be in this realm of glory, and in the higher celestial glory, where they may be fully understood and received with joy. These revelations were never intended to be shared in your telestial mortal world except with a choice few.'
Heavenly Father then reached over to me and touched me on my shoulder with his hand. We were then instantly standing next to the forest pool, with the pyramid room behind us. 'Raphael, I may show you all things that I desire, and have you write my words. Then you will one day share your record with our faithful who will read and ponder your words with anticipation and joy, even as you are filled with my light as I share these with you. In time, the revelations that Heavenly Mother, Jesus Christ, and I give to you, and to others of our faithful servants, will create a very cohesive network of truth that will be so marvelous for all to understand. We have chosen to build upon our previous revelations gradually, line upon line, until you understand more and more, and even one day to a fullness. This process of revealing the fullness of the gospel will create in you and our faithful a great storehouse of knowledge and a cohesive understanding of all truth. We will not limit the breadth of knowledge to you and our other faithful sons and daughters, for all things will be revealed!'
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his great blessings to me, to reveal all things gradually, building knowledge upon knowledge. I thought of the scripture in D&C 42: 61-
"If thou shalt ask, thou shalt receive revelation upon revelation, knowledge upon knowledge, that thou mayest know the mysteries and peaceable things-that which bringeth joy, that which bringeth life eternal.""

Doctrine & Covenants 88:51-63
51 Behold, I will liken these kingdoms unto a man having a field, and he sent forth his servants into the field to dig in the field.
52 And he said unto the first: Go ye and labor in the field, and in the first hour I will come unto you, and ye shall behold the joy of my countenance.
53 And he said unto the second: Go ye also into the field, and in the second hour I will visit you with the joy of my countenance.
54 And also unto the third, saying: I will visit you;
55 And unto the fourth, and so on unto the twelfth.
56 And the lord of the field went unto the first in the first hour, and tarried with him all that hour, and he was made glad with the light of the countenance of his lord.
57 And then he withdrew from the first that he might visit the second also, and the third, and the fourth, and so on unto the twelfth.
58 And thus they all received the light of the countenance of their lord, every man in his hour, and in his time, and in his season
59 Beginning at the first, and so on unto the last, and from the last unto the first, and from the first unto the last;
60 Every man in his own order, until his hour was finished, even according as his lord had commanded him, that his lord might be glorified in him, and he in his lord, that they all might be glorified.
61 Therefore, unto this parable I will liken all these kingdoms, and the inhabitants thereof, every kingdom in its hour, and in its time, and in its season, even according to the decree which God hath made.
62 And again, verily I say unto you, my friends, I leave these sayings with you to ponder in your hearts, with this commandment which I give unto you, that ye shall call upon me while I am near
63 Draw near unto me and I will draw near unto you; seek me diligently and ye shall find me; ask, and ye shall receive; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
160L15, from S: "5/22/20:
In scripture study, I reread D&C 88: 51-63 and I pondered its meaning. The phrase "light of my countenance" was spoken by Heavenly Father in my recent prayer and a similar phrase is found in those verses. Each child was promised to receive this gift in their hour on earth if they seek it.
In prayer, I called upon my Heavenly Parents for one or both to speak to me. I was directed immediately to the space above the earth where I saw Heavenly Father. He was beaming with bright light all about him and I felt great warmth in my heart to be in his presence. He spoke to me, during your last prayer, you perceived my silhouette darkly through the glass, whereas today you perceive my great light shining forth, even my glory. You have sought to seek the lord with all your heart and it is your greatest desire. The promise in Doctrine and Covenants 88:63 is true. Where you stand next to me now, you have never experienced physically but you have seen it in movies. Space has no oxygen, it is cold without the earth's atmosphere to hold in warmth. It lacks the essential elements for our children to survive and flourish. We have provided and control all these things for our children: warmth, light, air, food, water, and all the elements needed to progress. The only thing we do not control is man's agency. We allow each to seek us or to seek Lucifer. We freely allow them to choose for themselves. Those who seek us diligently may knock and experience our voice and our love even as you are doing now, but they must seek it themselves. This is the element in their progression that we do not control."
I felt Heavenly Father's great love for me and all his children. I humbly thanked him for his message as my heart was filled with joy to hear his voice and be in his presence. This scene closed before my view and I ended my prayer in Jesus' name.
Have a wonderful Sabbath day with your family,
S"

60 Every man in his own order, until his hour was finished, even according as his lord had commanded him, that his lord might be glorified in him, and he in his lord, that they all might be glorified.
61 Therefore, unto this parable I will liken all these kingdoms, and the inhabitants thereof, every kingdom in its hour, and in its time, and in its season, even according to the decree which God hath made.
188C3-188C11, from Heavenly Mother: "She spoke to my mind: 'Raphael, my son, your Father and I will intensify our preparations for our elect leaders and our elect on earth. We are hastening the time when Zion will come forth in her glory among men and women on earth. This is our strange work and strange act.
Today starts a new month. You will never pass through this time again, for we have ordained time to come as quickly as it passes. The future becomes the present, and then becomes the past. This is the ordained cycle we assign all mortal earths and their solar systems.
D&C 88:60-61
"Every man in his own order, until his hour was finished, even according as his lord had commanded him, that his lord might be glorified in him, and he in his lord, that they all might be glorified.
Therefore, unto this parable I will liken all these kingdoms, and the inhabitants thereof--every kingdom in its hour, and in its time, and in its season, even according to the decree which God hath made."
Our beloved children make their entry to the earth, live their lives, and then die, moving into the next phase of their progression and growth. In one hundred years there will basically be an entire new population upon the earth, for the old will have moved on in their progress.
Raphael, your generation at this time is unique, for this time will begin a new spiritual realm on the earth in not many days. Zion, in her majesty and glory, will come forth upon the earth and remain for a thousand years of peace. A few of you will be our celestial mortal servants, and will have your aging arrested until the end of these thousand years, in order that you might serve our faithful children in the New Jerusalem celestial temple.
We are now hastening this time, and preparing you, who are first laborers in this, our last kingdom on the earth, even the celestial kingdom and realm around the New Jerusalem temple. All of our celestial elect will come there and be ordained and receive their eternal ordinances by the holy angels of God. The 144,000 are ordained by the angels, as well as those who enter the New Jerusalem temple (see D&C 77:11).
I will give a similar question-answer format as found in that verse, and then answer it:
"Q: What are we to understand by the celestial elect who are chosen by Jesus Christ to enter the Church of the Firstborn?
A: We are to understand that these are chosen out of every mortal time and nation to come forth to the New Jerusalem celestial temple, to be crowned with glory and endowed with power by the angels and our celestial servants. These, the celestial elect, will move forward in their progression towards their exaltation and eternal lives as couple gods in eternity throughout the thousand years of millennial peace and glory."
Your days are now changing, and Zion and her glories are soon at hand!'
I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her wonderful revelation. I expressed my love and allegiance to her and Heavenly Father, and said I would do whatever they may ask. I closed my prayer at this time, for I came back into my private room again and lost my connection with my Heavenly Mother."

64 Whatsoever ye ask the Father in my name it shall be given unto you, that is expedient for you;

190D4-190D12, from Heavenly Father: "He spoke: 'Raphael, we desire that each of our children on earth commune with us as do you. The way is opened for every one of our mortal children if they will make time for us, be persistent in prayer, and be open and humble. We will gradually lead each one who does this and give them revelations, even as we have given to you. We are no respecter of persons.
Hear the words of your Redeemer in D&C 88:62-68
"And again, verily I say unto you, my friends, I leave these sayings with you to ponder in your hearts, with this commandment which I give unto you, that ye shall call upon me while I am near
Draw near unto me and I will draw near unto you; seek me diligently and ye shall find me; ask, and ye shall receive; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
Whatsoever ye ask the Father in my name it shall be given unto you, that is expedient for you;
And if ye ask anything that is not expedient for you, it shall turn unto your condemnation.
Behold, that which you hear is as the voice of one crying in the wilderness, in the wilderness, because you cannot see him, my voice, because my voice is Spirit; my Spirit is truth; truth abideth and hath no end; and if it be in you it shall abound.
And if your eye be single to my glory, your whole bodies shall be filled with light, and there shall be no darkness in you; and that body which is filled with light comprehendeth all things.
Therefore, sanctify yourselves that your minds become single to God, and the days will come that you shall see him; for he will unveil his face unto you, and it shall be in his own time, and in his own way, and according to his own will." '
I then asked my Heavenly Father how it was, among all those who seek his face, that I was called to be his prophet, to establish the Church of the Firstborn, to build the New Jerusalem temple, and to administer the saving ordinance of the waters of separation to all of the elect? This seems so great to me!
Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, when any of our children come to us as have you, we will reveal ourselves to them. We are doing this more and more in these days, particularly as our elect are awakened in part because of the teachings they receive in our celestial realms at night. We reveal to each one our revelations, whatsoever we wish them to do, and any callings we may extend to them.
We knew beforehand who of our children living on earth would seek us diligently as have you. We therefore chose those to be our leaders, to help the others who would follow them in coming unto us, their Gods.
You were one of the first ones, and therefore we came to you in your energy class in April, 2013. You had been seeking us diligently before that time. You are our fourth son, even Raphael, in this eternity. We sent you to earth at this time to do your work and to receive your commission while in the flesh. We have orchestrated all of this and the timing, so that you would be one of the first ones. We have brought a few of our other humble and open children along to support and sustain you, and to receive their own assignments and missions. These are those on your small email list.
I know you marvel and wonder at all of these events and happenings. Your calling is similar to that of Joseph Smith, in the very beginning of this new and final dispensation, when Jesus Christ, my Beloved Son, spoke through Joseph to Oliver Cowdery and David Whitmer in June 1829:
D&C 18:8
"And now, marvel not that I have called him unto mine own purpose, which purpose is known in me; wherefore, if he shall be diligent in keeping my commandments he shall be blessed unto eternal life; and his name is Joseph."
My word to you is to continue to be diligent, even as was Joseph, our servant in his day.
D&C 8:8
"Therefore, doubt not, for it is the gift of God; and you shall hold it in your hands, and do marvelous works; and no power shall be able to take it away out of your hands, for it is the work of God." '
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his assuring words and further explanations this morning. I thanked him for revealing himself to me, and for extending to me his will, my commission and calling. I said I would do even as he and Heavenly Mother ask and direct me."

156F4-156F6, from Heavenly Father: "'Raphael, your Heavenly Mother and I have shown you dramatic storms, lightning and hail to emphasize to you the severe nature of what is coming your way in your mortal world. These are symbols and metaphors of what will come. You may not see the Salt Lake Temple destroyed as you saw in a recent vision, but the effect of what is coming will be just as real to the church and its members. You may not experience extreme lightning or hail, or a sand storm, but the devastations in your world will be just as severe. You have now a portent of the intensities of the calamities that are coming, but you don't know specifics. This is as we desire.
Continue in your fast and prayer until you have determined. We know of your sincerity, humility and willingness to follow and record whatever we share with you. We will bless and prosper you, even during those tribulations coming upon your mortal world.

170K1-170K17: "This morning I came to my private room to pray. I came to the forest pool next to the pyramid room in God's Loving Healing Center. I thought to walk into the pool like it was my healing seer stone, and see if I could use it to come into the presence of my Heavenly Parents. This was my thought that I received.
I then gazed into the pool of water, with the intention to come into the presence of my Heavenly Parents. I then felt like I was falling into the pool in my mind, and then came before my Heavenly Father in a place I didn't recognize. I came to my knees before him, and thanked him for my coming into his presence.
Heavenly Father spoke to my mind: 'Raphael, you have successfully come into my presence by using this forest pool like a seer stone. I have given you the thought to do this, and you have successfully come into my presence, in my temple in a room you haven't come to before on the ground level.
The thing that brought you here was your intention to come into my presence, and not whether you came via a seer stone or any other object. You do not need an object, now that you have learned the power of your faith and intention, and the assurance we will come to you.
After being introduced again to us by Jesus Christ, our elect may use their seer stones we have given them to come to us in a constant prayer mode. Once they too learn the power of their intention, they then won't need to use their seer stone to come to us.
Their seer stone also helps them see past, present and future events as we allow. We may also do this revealing in other ways of our choice. The ultimate end of our training is for them to be very open to any impressions and revelations we may wish to give them. If they then ask, they will receive, or if they knock, it will be opened to them: or if they seek they shall find.
Mathew 7:7-11
"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?"
Raphael, you have asked in your mind and heart, by your intention, to come into my presence this morning, and be with me throughout your mortal day in constant prayer. I have therefore honored your request by bringing you into my presence in my temple.
Whatever you or our faithful elect children may ask of us to do, as given them by our confirming Spirit, we will do for them. We will also bless those for whom they pray, according to their faith, yet we will not take away their own choice and agency. We will honor all such humble requests of our faithful elect children, from this time forward until the second coming of Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son.
In the past we have answered such requests often in a slower manner, testing the faith of our son or daughter to ensure they grow and learn from the request. However, now we are much more open to quickly give our blessings according to the intentions and desires of our faithful. We do this because of the increased hardships coming soon upon them and the mortal world they live in, during this time of tribulation. As darkness increases on the earth, so will our light and our miracles increase.'
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his words! I asked if anything we ask, that is not expedient for us, would be still granted, or would it turn to our condemnation, even according to D & C 88: 63-65:
"Draw near unto me and I will draw near unto you; seek me diligently and ye shall find me; ask, and ye shall receive; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
Whatsoever ye ask the Father in my name it shall be given unto you, that is expedient for you;
And if ye ask anything that is not expedient for you, it shall turn unto your condemnation."
Heavenly Father replied: 'Raphael, when you come into my presence, or that of Heavenly Mother, and ask of us while being filled with our light and spirit, we will grant your requests to you. Your eye is at those times single to God, and you wouldn't ask for anything that is wrong or that is not for your good, or not expedient for you. You would not seek to take advantage of another. It is in this state that we will grant whatever you may ask of us.'
I then thanked him for this response. I next asked him to guide me throughout my day, and to help me include him in my every decision and thoughts of this day, so that I may truly ask of him that which would be for my blessing and for those of others I would seek to bless by my requests.
Heavenly Father smiled upon me, put his hand on my shoulder and spoke: 'Raphael, that is the correct spirit we wish all of our elect to possess that we may pour upon them our great blessings of protection and abundance, even as we desire and they request.'
I thanked him again. I said how grateful I was to him and Heavenly Mother for being so gracious to their elect.
I then felt a need to exit his presence consciously, but remain with him in constant prayer in my unconscious state.
I came to my conscious awareness in my private room, and then started my new day."

145H12-145H15: "Heavenly Father spoke again:
'Raphael, you have heard my voice in your mind, and you didn't see me when I was in my temple. You now hear my voice, and I am in front of you. My voice to you is just as sure when I am not before you or before you. This is like my voice crying in the wilderness.
D&C 88:66 "Behold, that which you hear is as the voice of one crying in the wilderness-in the wilderness, because you cannot see him-my voice, because my voice is Spirit; my spirit is truth; truth abideth and hath no end, and if it be in you it shall abound."'
'Raphael, your Heavenly Mother and I will dispel the darkness from among all of our elect, once the wicked have been removed from the earth. The darkness will dispel as our elect receive our light and seek for more light:
D&C 50:23-24-
"And that which doth not edify is not of God, and is darkness.
That which is of God is light; and he that receiveth light and continueth in God, receiveth light; and that light groweth brighter and brighter until the perfect day.
And again, verily I say unto you, and I say that you may know the truth, that you may choose darkness from among you."
In that day all flesh shall know me, and hear our voice and know us.'"
188E14-188E33: "Evening-I came this evening to the forest pool near the pyramid room in God's Loving Healing Center. The forest was shaded from the sky and the pool seemed lit up. I knelt and drank living water. As I did so, I looked more carefully into the pool. I couldn't see any source of light, but the pool edges and bottom were somehow lit up. I asked for my Heavenly Mother to come to me tonight.
I then noticed the pool glowing brighter and brighter, in white light. Soon the pool edges and pool bottom under the water were very bright. I thought that this light was from Heavenly Mother, but I didn't know where her being was located. I just relaxed and observed, and sought to be one with her.
Her voice then came into my mind: 'Raphael, I am in my highest celestial realm, in the pool, but you cannot see me. I have allowed my intense light to flow outside of my highest veil and illuminate the edges and bottom of this forest pool.'
I then thought of D&C 88:66
"Behold, that which you hear is as the voice of one crying in the wilderness --in the wilderness, because you cannot see him."
I wondered if my heart and mind was not sufficiently single to God, or focused and aligned with my Heavenly Mother tonight. The promise in the scripture is that God will one day unveil his/her face to me, in their own time, in their own way, and according to their own will (D&C 88: 68).
As I sought to be one in thought and mind with my Heavenly Mother, her face appeared before me above the pool. I did not see the rest of her body, however.
She spoke to me: 'Raphael, there are ways that our children, who are persistent, and diligently seek our faces, and then wait upon us, may soon see our faces. You have learned these ways, and when you don't see us, you become concerned. This happened when Heavenly Father was very angry (see your post 186C3 to 186C4 on February 8, 2021). This happened again tonight. I chose not to immediately show my face to you. You could, however, see the light of my presence coming through my highest veil, but not my face until I showed myself to you above the glowing pool.
I would like to discuss this principle with you tonight.
The brother of Jared could not be kept from viewing within the veils that separate the celestial kingdom and his mortal telestial kingdom. There is a veil between the telestial and terrestrial, and one between the terrestrial and celestial. In order to bridge the spiritual realms between the telestial to the celestial, there are two veils in which to pass through. You now regularly pass through these two veils when you commune with us twice a day. Occasionally, like today, you have a third veil in which to pass through, which is our highest celestial realm veil. This you have also passed through because of your faith and knowledge, and I couldn't withhold, even as Jesus Christ could not withhold from showing himself to the Brother of Jared. (see Ether 3:20). At first he saw the finger of the Lord, and then Jesus Christ showed his entire glorified being as a spirit to the brother of Jared. He saw his Redeemer in his unconscious mind, and his faith then became knowledge, for he knew he saw him with his spiritual eyes.
Likewise, tonight you have sought to commune with me, for thus did my voice whisper to you to come here to my forest pool and call upon me. I tried to stay within the highest veil, for you were already past the celestial veil by being here on our celestial world. At one point, when you became one with me, in your focused thoughts and mind, and when your heart was linked with mine, then I could not restrain, and came before you to show you my face. This is the law of the celestial and highest celestial kingdoms. When you heard your Father's voice on February 8th, he said to you that he wished not for you to see his face. (post 186C4). You immediately backed down, even as you ought to have done since you were sensitive to his wishes. However, had you pressed forth anyway, he would have revealed his face to you, for this is the law, and we always obey the laws that we have instituted.
Raphael, it may be hard for you to understand this law, being mortal and not having yet your merged mind. Nevertheless, this is the law instituted by our first parent Gods.
Were one of our children to be diligent and persistent, full of faith, we would first reveal ourselves to them even as the scripture in D&C 88: 68 that you just quoted states, in our own way, and according to our own will. However, for subsequent visits, we will not hold back if our petitioning child is one with us and pure before us, full of faith and obedience, and specifically asks for us to appear to him/her. This is the law that we will always conform to.'
Heavenly Mother then appeared before me in her full glorious person, even a little elevated above the forest pool in the air.
Her bright and penetrating light flowed into me and upon the entire forest area! I felt so very one with her, and so loved and accepted. Her light carried with it her deep love and her great peace. I felt great joy too in being before her being!
'Raphael, I am still in my highest celestial realm, and you have passed beyond this highest celestial veil. I could not restrain myself, and I am so glad to be before you also. You have followed the promptings of my Spirit, and I have led you to come into my heavenly presence. Your Father and I will always appear to you, even as you seek our Spirit and follow as we direct you, whether you are to come to the Father, the Son, or to me. We will always come before you, unless we seek not to be viewed and then you will not press your desires upon us, for you are now one with us.
We will do this same thing to every one of our mortal elect sons or daughters who have been introduced to us by Jesus Christ, their Redeemer. We will continue with an intimate and very connective relationship with each one, even into their own future day that they too become Gods in eternity, as are we.
We will begin our close relationship in this mortal life, in the world of the spirits, or at any time of their progression, were they to diligently seek us. We are their Heavenly Parents, and they are our child. We will not leave them comfortless, we will come to them if they press forward and ask of us. (John 14:18).
Raphael, what I have revealed to you tonight is one of the revelations that we said we are ready and willing to share with you and our faithful. We will reveal such truths to any of our celestial elect, even before we reveal them to you, as we have described previously. We are no respecter of persons with our elect children who come unto us; we will not leave them comfortless, but will come to them, and reveal our great truths to them.'
I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her wonderful higher truths that she revealed to me tonight! I confirmed these were true, and also that I had written her words correctly.
She then smiled and faded from my view. Finally the bright glow in the pool also lessened, and the forest pool was back to normal. I closed my prayer in the name of Jesus Christ."
128H2-128H23: "This morning I prayed at the circling waters. I drank living water here and knelt on the shore. I asked for my Heavenly Father to come. Heavenly Father appeared to me in the circling waters! He was smiling and full of light. I loved looking into his eternity eyes, for they were so full of peace and serenity! It was as if I could see into his soul through his eyes!
He spoke: 'Raphael, when you pray to us, your Heavenly Parents, you often gaze into our eyes. You call these our eternity eyes. These are a reflection of our soul, of our character and personality that shines forth from our eyes. This is partly true of our children who come to earth also.
Luke 11:34-36
"The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.
Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.
If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light."
D&C 88:67
"And if your eye be single to my glory, your whole bodies shall be filled with light, and there shall be no darkness in you; and that body which is filled with light comprehendeth all things."
When our children arrive to the earth, their eyes are how you may recognize their unique person. You are peering into their spirit and intelligence that has lived and grown in their pre-mortal state. If that spirit is very intent on following us, and loves God and our ways, we will fill them with our light. You are then able to see into their soul the light that we give them, for it will shine forth through their eyes. You may also perceive other godly emotions or states of being like love, compassion, joy or peace.
You saw in my eyes this morning deep peace and sureness. This has accumulated and been developed in me over the eons of living in peace and happiness. My assurance of knowing what is what has been and what will be also is conveyed to you through my eyes, my eternity eyes. Eternity eyes develop over multiple eternities.
When I look into your eyes, I see that you are filled with our light, and that there is no darkness in you. However, the depth and peace and compassion that will shine forth from your eyes have not yet been fully developed. This will occur as you labor tirelessly for us and our beloved elect children throughout the millennium. It will also be developed in our loving angels who serve us daily in our temple at the New Jerusalem.
The phenomenon of shining eyes, or deep eyes, filled with light comes over time. Our people are recognizable through their unique eyes too. You will be given our gift to see into the eyes of our children and recognize the amount of light in their souls. This gift will come to you as you practice looking into the souls of our children through their eyes.'
I thanked my loving Heavenly Father for his insight on seeing into eyes, and of the promise he gave me of the gift of perceiving the souls of his children as I look into their eyes. I said I loved him. He then quickly left, and I closed my prayer.
Evening-I came again to the circling waters tonight. I drank of living water from my cupped hand. My Heavenly Mother then appeared to me while I was drinking and kneeling on the shore! She was smiling and was so beautiful to behold, and to be in her presence!
'Raphael, your Father talked to you about the light that shines through our eyes and your eyes that will increase particularly as you serve in love to our children and keep our commandments. Tonight I want to talk to you about our light that comes through your hands.
Tonight, just before this prayer, you messaged your wife's forehead where she experienced some sinus pain. You also rubbed her head, back and shoulders with your hands. While massaging, you intended that the pain in her head be broken up and reduced or removed. You pulled out the pain that you felt was there with your spirit hands, passing these hands through her head and then out of her head. Your hands and your intention did all of this from your mind.
Raphael, this is all real, and you can tell by how your wife said the pain subsided and was no longer intense-we send to your our light continually and you in turn send this light through your hands. With your skill of healing, you direct our light matter into and through your hands to break up, clean and remove the pain and unwanted energy. When you perceive or "see" the energy to be removed, you can also remove it.
Raphael, you still take coconut oil twice daily also to go to your brain. You visually activate your neurons in your brain, as you swallow this very healing and strengthening brain food. You have noticed that the intensity of your clarity in intending the coconut oil to go to every sector of your brain is significantly enhanced when you focus your hands onto your head. This increases greatly the effectiveness of sending the coconut oil to all parts of your brain, and in time will increase your cognition.
All of the activities involving your focused energy and light from your hands are real, and occur in the celestial realms. You can perceive this energy from your hands since you can perceive clearly now our light in this realm. You see this with your spiritual eyes and perception.
You use your hands very frequently also in your replicated celestial self. You are able to intend that you be replicated in the celestial realms on the earth and travel to bless and help heal our children, by our will and power. This happens according to your desires. Most of your healing work involves your hands that are full of light that we send to you, and in turn you use to heal and bless our children.
Heavenly Mother then reached out her right hand to me and I stood and took her hand. We went to the center of the circling waters pool. She placed her right hand then on my head and asked me to shine my hands to the water below us.
I then felt her intense light come into me through my head. I could distinctly feel this tangible light travel into my head from her hand, and then down my head and neck into my torso and shoulders. I felt the light then flow into my upper arms and down into my hands. As I focused this light onto the water I saw two beaming rays of light, like flashlights, shine down into the water from the palms of my hands! I could tell this all came from her, transmitted through my body, and then out my hands! It was an exhilarating feeling!
Heavenly Mother spoke to me while her light continued to shine from my hands: 'Raphael, I give you the gift to request of me my light, even the light of the Holy Ghost which is mine to give, into your head and out your hands. As often as you ask I will grant it to you, for I know that you will not ask amiss, but use my light to bless and heal my children in need. I will grant this to you in your mortal body or in any of your own replicated celestial translated bodies, for as often as you request. You will then be able to direct my light into others to heal them with greater power than you were able to do tonight. I caution you to keep your great gift secret from the world, and from unbelievers. You would do well to act in secret when doing so, that attention is not drawn to yourself.'
I thanked my very loving and gracious Heavenly Mother for this great gift! I reach out to her and embraced her with my arms. She took her hand from my head and also embraced me with both of her hands! She kissed me and said she loved me! I felt so very filled with her light, love and peace. I began crying for joy in being in her very presence in a full embrace!
She then started rising up in the air and our embrace ended. She smiled and spoke: 'Raphael, remember this great gift I have given to you.' Ask me in your mind and I will send to you my intense light as you desire. You may need to project a lower beam of light from your hands so that our receptive child may be able to receive this lower, attenuated light better than the full beam of light!'
With this she departed. I knelt again by the shore of the circling waters and thanked her for her gift and blessing. I closed in the name of Jesus Christ."

73 Behold, I will hasten my work in its time.
74 And I give unto you, who are the first laborers in this last kingdom, a commandment that you assemble yourselves together, and organize yourselves, and prepare yourselves, and sanctify yourselves; yea, purify your hearts, and cleanse your hands and your feet before me, that I may make you clean;
75 That I may testify unto your Father, and your God, and my God, that you are clean from the blood of this wicked generation; that I may fulfil this promise, this great and last promise, which I have made unto you, when I will.
188B19-188B23: "I then thanked my Father for his second witness to what Heavenly Mother had revealed about perfect love casting out fear. I prayed that we, who are called as his and Heavenly Mother's celestial servants in these last days, might be filled with their perfect love, and not fear man or what man could do. I also asked that we be inspired to ask questions to him and Heavenly Mother, and receive answers. I asked that we would not be afraid, but be full of courage and love. I asked that we fill the measure of our callings, including asking for revelations upon revelations. I asked that we might be inspired in all of these things.
Heavenly Father responded by quoting a scripture found in D&C 88:73-75
"Behold, I will hasten my work in its time. (Raphael, this time is now.)
And I give unto you, who are the first laborers in this last kingdom (even the celestial kingdom which is coming in glory upon the earth, which constitutes in part my strange work and my strange act), a commandment that you assemble yourselves together, and organize yourselves, and prepare yourselves, and sanctify yourselves; yea, purify your hearts, and cleanse your hands and your feet before me, that I may make you clean;
That I may testify unto your Father, and your God, and my God, that you are clean from the blood of this wicked generation; that I may fulfil this promise, this great and last promise, which I have made unto you, when I will." (words in parentheses added by Heavenly Father)
Raphael, this promise is that I will hasten my work in its time. Jesus Christ, my Beloved Son, needs to clean and sanctify every one of our celestial servants so that our great work will be hastened by your Heavenly Mother and me in pouring out revelation upon revelation. We are also hastening all of our elect by preparing them and having them taught in celestial realms above. This is the time of our great hastening, and we are doing it even now.'
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his words. I said I was ready for this hastening to increase in intensity among his faithful servants and his elect.
Heavenly Father smiled upon me and said he would answer my prayers upon the faithful, and would increase the intensity of his hastening promise. He then stepped backwards into his higher celestial realm and was gone. I closed my prayer with a grateful heart."

175L3-175L8, from Heavenly Father: "'Raphael, I have brought you into my presence in our celestial world. You are clean and pure before me, and therefore may come into my presence.
I see the wicked combinations and great deceptions in your land as your nation prepares for election day in a little over two weeks. You have read of some now unclassified reports and some news indicating emails that are being covered up by the media. Those who coverup will go to great lengths to hide these crimes, for they are the accomplices of sin. They are colluding with other conspirators, with the intent to ultimately overthrow the freedoms of this land and destroy your nation.
We have seen all of these things from the beginning, and have made detailed provisions for our elect, whose hearts and minds we know will be prepared after these difficulties come into their lives. All things will be in commotion, like you have been witnessing coming forth recently on the news outlets in your country, only with more intensity. Then will be the time of the fulfillment of this prophecy:
D&C 88:91-92
"And all things shall be in commotion; and surely men's hearts shall fail them; for fear shall come upon all people.
And angels shall fly through the midst of heaven, crying with a loud voice, sounding the trump of God, saying: Prepare ye, prepare ye, O inhabitants of the earth; for the judgments of our God is come. (Raphael, this sounding of the trumps of God has already happened when you and your four archangel brothers have sounded. These trumpets have given the voice of warning to all the earth that the judgments of God are here on the earth. You are now seeing the commotions from these judgments starting to sweep across your land and the entire earth.) Behold, and lo, the Bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him (this will be the message of the trump of our archangel Michael, even our chief archangel, when he begins to sound as recorded in Revelation 10:7)." (words in parentheses from Heavenly Father).'
I thanked my Father for his words today. I have personally been feeling like so much has been happening in our nation, with increasing speed. I realized this commotion would only increase.
Heavenly Father invited me to stay with him while I live my life in mortality today. I expressed gratitude to him, and then exited the celestial world, and started my new day on earth."

Doctrine & Covenants 88:93-94
93 And immediately there shall appear a great sign in heaven, and all people shall see it together.
94 And another angel shall sound his trump, saying: That great church, the mother of abominations, that made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, that persecuteth the saints of God, that shed their blood, she who sitteth upon many waters, and upon the islands of the sea, behold, she is the tares of the earth; she is bound in bundles; her bands are made strong, no man can loose them; therefore, she is ready to be burned. And he shall sound his trump both long and loud, and all nations shall hear it.
Fri, Sep 3, 2021
The great sign in heaven is associated with the coming of Christ to the marriage supper, or Christ coming to destroy the invading armies and deliver the daughter of Zion. This is also the fulfillment of the parable of the wheat and tares (D&C 86, particularly v 7). See also Matt 13:24-30.
199E11-199E19: "I read today some scriptures that indicate when Jesus comes in his glory, the wicked will be burned. The most clear ones are these:
Isaiah 10:16-17 which speaks of the destruction of Assyria, or the wicked at the last day:
"Therefore shall the Lord, the Lord of hosts, send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory he shall kindle a burning like the burning of a fire.
And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his holy One for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day."
D&C 64:24
"For after today cometh the burning -this is speaking after the manner of the Lord -for verily I say, tomorrow all the proud and they that do wickedly shall be as stubble; and I will burn them up, for I am the Lord; and I will not spare any that remain in Babylon."
D&C 88: 94
"And another angel shall sound his trump, saying: That great church, the mother of abominations, that made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornications that persecuted the saints of God, that shed their blood -she who sitteth upon many waters, and upon the islands of the sea -behold, she is the tares of the earth; she is bound in bundles; her hands are made strong, no man can loose them; therefore, she is ready to be burned. And he shall sound his trump both long and loud, and all nations shall hear it."
I came upon the barren land of promise east of the New Jerusalem island. It was rocky with dirt, and no vegetation. It looked barren in all directions around me. I knelt and asked for my Heavenly Father to come.
He walked to me on the barren land from the west. When he came to me, he was serious looking, and immediately spoke: 'Raphael, what your Heavenly Mother spoke to you last night about the burning at the time of the coming of Jesus Christ is true. The scriptures you quoted are a few that described this burning. There are many more.
The burning will come upon all who dwell in the telestial mortal physical earth. It will be very intense, even to destroy all remnants of that realm so that all is consumed. This burning will only affect that realm, and not the terrestrial physical earth. Jesus will destroy the wicked in this terrible day of the Lord (see Joel 2: 11). However, it will be a wonderful day for our righteous elect who will have been gathered upon the terrestrial physical earth. Jesus will descend with these, our righteous sons and daughters, to the earth in great glory and power. What will remain on the mortal earth will only be the elect on the terrestrial earth. You will bind Satan and his host after this destruction, and cast them into the bottomless pit in the spiritual telestial earth. This will be a place reserved for him so he will not be able to go forth among our children for a thousand years.
The barren land upon which you are kneeling tonight will become a flourishing community on the terrestrial earth. Our people will live in harmony and peace all over the terrestrial earth. The declaration you made upon the earth during the light of a thousand suns event will be fully realized (see your post 194H18-"While the stars remain, and the heavens send down dew upon the earth, so long shall the Union last."). The stars in your sky will still shine, and dew on the mortal terrestrial earth will still come down in the millennial day. Freedom and liberty will be given to all of our children in that day, even in a full measure in the Union established and protected by our Beloved Son.'
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his encouraging words, and for his confirmation of what Heavenly Mother spoke to me last night, on 7-6-2021. I felt great peace and clarity! I expressed my love to my Heavenly Father, and I said I would do all he and Heavenly Mother ask me to do."

106 And again, another angel shall sound his trump, which is the seventh angel, saying: It is finished; it is finished! The Lamb of God hath overcome and trodden the wine-press alone, even the wine-press of the fierceness of the wrath of Almighty God.
172C13-172C24: "Evening-I received an email today from S.A. where she asked these two questions: 1) What happens to the elect who get vaccinated?
2) What will happen after the 3 years that Russia is ruling over the world? What will topple them, or how will this end? (see my post 168N19).
I reviewed Revelation chapters 9 to 16, and felt like the earthquake would be at the time that the Russian rule will end, as explained in Revelation 11:13-15-
"And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
The second woe is past: and, behold the third woe cometh quickly.
And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever."
I believe this seventh angel is Michael, the mighty archangel, who will blow his trumpet.
D&C 88:106
"And again, another angel shall sound his trump, which is the seventh angel saying: It is finished; it is finished! The Lamb of God hath overcome and trodden the wine-press alone, even the wine-press of the fierceness of the wrath of Almighty God."
I felt clarified by these scriptures in Revelation and in the D&C. I wondered if what I have just written was correct, and given me under the inspiration of God.
I came to the fountain of living water on the celestial orb. I came immediately into the presence of my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother! Heavenly Mother spoke to me when I arrived:
'Raphael, you have correctly answered in part S.A.'s question about the demise of Russia after it is in power for 3 years. Russia and all other nations will be destroyed by Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, in his glorious second coming. He alone will tread the winepress of the wrath of God by destroying all the wicked and their nations that exist still on the earth at that time. This will be proclaimed by the sounding of our seventh archangel Michael, which will be the seventh and final woe upon the earth and her inhabitants.
During the period that Russia controls much of the earthly nations, you will continue to build up the New Jerusalem temple, grounds and cities of Zion in the promised land. The 144,000 will have completed their mission of gathering all of our elect from every nation, and the end of all nations will soon happen. All of the scriptures that speak of the day prior to the second advent of the Son of Man will have been fulfilled.
As you can see, in not many years the righteous will all be gathered and the wicked will all be destroyed. Jesus, our Beloved Son, will then begin his reign on the earth for the thousand years of peace.'
I asked her about the scripture in D&C 49:7-"I, the Lord God, have spoken it; but the hour and the day no man knoweth, neither the angels in heaven, nor shall they know until he comes."
She responded: 'Raphael, our elect will know the season of the coming of Jesus Christ to the earth, but not the specific hour or day. I have given you a timetable that gives you the season, but not more details.'
I thanked her for her witness to me!"

113 And the devil shall gather together his armies; even the hosts of hell, and shall come up to battle against Michael and his armies.
114 And then cometh the battle of the great God; and the devil and his armies shall be cast away into their own place, that they shall not have power over the saints any more at all.
115 For Michael shall fight their battles, and shall overcome him who seeketh the throne of him who sitteth upon the throne, even the Lamb.
135G12-135G28: "Evening-I read part of my entry from this morning. I wondered more about the end of the millennium, when Satan and his evil hosts would again be allowed on the earth out of the bottomless pit. I read the scriptures about this, and read that Michael, the archangel, shall gather together his armies, even the hosts of heaven. (see D&C 88:111-115). I also read in Revelation 20:9-10 where fire will come down from God out of heaven, and devour the camp of Lucifer and the evil armies.
I came to the celestial orb tonight, in front of the doors of the temple. I faced the fountain of living water. I asked for my Heavenly Father or Heavenly Mother to come to me.
Heavenly Mother then came from an opening in the air in front of me, from her higher celestial realm! She wore a matching regal robe that was worn by Heavenly Father this morning, also with gold trim. I was excited to be brought into her presence. She was shining brightly, as she usually does to me these days. I felt her intense light and her outpouring of love in the light. She was smiling broadly, and her eyes were sparkling with light.
She spoke: 'Raphael, my son, I will explain how the end of the millennium will close. We will give you a command for you to go to the bottomless pit and to release Satan and his hosts. You will go there with your Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ by your side. You will leave their side when you go forth to touch the seal with you sword of Raphael. After the seal is removed, you will experience again the mighty pouring forth of Lucifer and his followers, coming out of their confinement of a thousand years (see your post 21F4-21F5). This will be a great rushing like you witness before in July 31, 2016.
You will also use the black key you have clipped on your green sash on your right side. You and your brother archangels, all seven of you who have been given the trumps of God, will also sound these in the skies above, just prior to you releasing the seal over the bottomless pit.
Once Satan and his hosts come upon the terrestrial earth, the earth will again start to transform into a telestial world again. These who are our elect, and wish to continue living in the terrestrial world, will need to move into the large confines of the New Jerusalem area, where the earth will continue to be a terrestrial world, free from Satan's influence. Those who remain on the earth outside the walls of the New Jerusalem area will again be tempted by the adversary. Their temptations will be much like those experienced in your day, just prior to the great millennium. Many will be lulled away in carnal security, and will say all is well in Zion. Even our Church of Christ will become neutralized again, similar to how the LDS church has been in your own day. The same slide into apostasy will occur all over the earth except in the area of the New Jerusalem, within its outer walls.
At the end, the only place of physical and spiritual safety will be in the New Jerusalem area. The temple square area will still be a celestial realm, and the New Jerusalem city and surrounding land up to the outer walls will be a terrestrial realm. All the remainder of the earth will have become a telestial realm, with Lucifer and his minions having great success among mortals in leading them into great sin and evil.
At the time you barely complete your own temple ordinances in the New Jerusalem temple, Michael will take charge of gathering the hosts of heaven for the great battle of our God. Your final ordinances will signal that all of the elect in this eternity have received their own eternal temple ordinances, under the hands of the angels of God. All of these will be in the New Jerusalem area, or will have gone onto the celestial orb, in a resurrected state, awaiting the climactic end of the earth, the final judgment, and their continued ordinances at the hands of your Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and me.
Michael will have assembled the hosts of the elect of heaven, including all of the holy angels and archangels, for the great battle with Lucifer. He will lead out the armies from the New Jerusalem in the clouds of heaven, and will raise his sword of Michael high in the sky. The hosts of Satan, and the wicked in the army of Gog and Magog (Revelation 20:7-9) will be gathered outside the wall of the New Jerusalem. Fire will then come from the uplifted sword of Michael and the other male archangels, creating a burning that will destroy the invading army. In the process, the earth will also burn with fervent heat and will die, for she will have completed her seven thousand years of her temporal existence.
At this same time, the New Jerusalem area, from the outer walls, will rise above the earth and all become a celestial realm. This entire area will be high above the earth when the devouring fire comes from the swords of our male archangels, destroying the armies and causing the earth to die.
All mortals in the army of the wicked will enter into the telestial realm of the dead. The evil hosts of Satan will be routed by the archangels and placed on the distant prison orb. The righteous will either be on the New Jerusalem area or on the celestial orb.
Once the earth dies, the telestial and terrestrial spirit realms of the dead will no longer be part of the earth. Those in these areas will be moved to a holding location within their respective realms of glory in our galaxy.
When the earth is resurrected to a celestial earth, she will have a new heaven and a new earth. The old will have passed away, and the new will be glorious! The New Jerusalem area will also be transformed and descend in glory upon the earth. This will be the time that our servant John saw and recorded in Revelation 21:1-2-"And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband."'
Heavenly Mother stopped speaking. I had written very fast all of her words and revelations that she transferred into my mind. I felt so blessed to have written it all down!
I then thanked her for her wonderful truths she shared with me! I asked if I had written all according to her will.
She spoke: 'Raphael, your words convey my summary of the last days at the end of the temporal earth. I accept what you have written as having fully come from me.'
I then saw her turn and walk right back into her higher celestial realm. I felt so humbled and blessed to have visited with her tonight, and received so very much!"

144C19-144C28: "Evening-I came this evening to the celestial orb, to the beautiful desert oasis. I felt the warm sand under my feet, and was very happy to be here. I sat on the bench, pondering over the great revelations I had recently received. I thought of my attachments to my culture and society in which I live. I thought of the great conveniences that mankind has never had until recently, like computers, cell phones, cars and airplane travel, and all sorts of machinery and laborsaving devices. I thought of forced air heating and air conditioning, power tools of all varieties, and of printed books and movies, and the internet.
I then thought of the intrusions that my own society, government and large corporations use to survey the people. My wife just started reading Edward Snowden's book "Permanent Record" about the intrusions of our government surveillance on all of its citizens. I went to my sleep doctor today, and he knew all about my past, and had read about how I got the flu last year. I felt like my life is very exposed to all, even to the government's National Security Agency that tracks and compiles a record on each one of its citizens. Scary!
I thought of the impending destruction upon the land, government, all businesses, and people. I thought of my money in the bank that would likely perish, and of our preparations to become self-reliant. I wondered if my wife and I should do anything else to prepare for the destruction of the current civilization we now live in?
I was pondering all of this while sitting on the bench, facing the oasis in the desert. I then realized there was a bright light on the water, and that my Heavenly Mother was coming! I came to my knees and anticipated her arrival.
She was soon in front of me, shining her intense light of the Holy Ghost into and through me! I felt so uplifted to be in her glorious presence!
She spoke:
'Raphael, you have prepared well for your own well-being for your wife, family and you, in days ahead when calamity and war will sweep the land. You have much storage of food and supplies, and know-how necessary to grow food to eat or to make much of what you may need.
It is true that there will be money and other things that you use all the time now that will no longer be of use or importance. Were I in your place, I would continue preparing spiritually and temporally, and in preparing every needful thing (see D&C 88:119).
When your current American Society is destroyed by a financial collapse, by natural or man-made calamities, and by invasion from foreign armies, you will want to let it go and your link to this modern Babylon nation. You love the founding of your nation, and the principles of freedom established in its founding documents. These truths of limited government will be re-established again, and maintained by our terrestrial elect who will come and dwell in the land. The wickedness of spiritual Babylon will be destroyed, along with corrupt government leaders, agencies, and conspiring industries. You will be happy to see these all destroyed.
Much of the modern inventions and methods created in recent times will again come forth after the wicked are destroyed in the land. We will introduce many new gifts and blessings for our terrestrial people that will exceed what you now consider as modern conveniences. Our land of Zion will be the first one cleansed and the first land established in righteousness, on the entire earth. It will become known as a place of refuge and safety, while in surrounding lands, continents and everywhere that people live, will be in great upheaval and distress. Our 144,000 will bring the righteous from all over the earth to safety here in your future land of freedom, even to the promised land.'
I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her comforting words. I guess not knowing the details of how America will fall creates apprehension in me. I want to feel ready to give away all my vestiges to modern Babylon. I want to lead out in establishing Zion, even in the beautiful promised land!
Heavenly Mother then extended her hand and I arose from my knees and took her hand! I felt so very happy to be next to her. We then walked to the water's edge and then I lost connection with both of us. I believed we walked on the oasis and then into the celestial sky.
I have great hope in the cleaning and building of the righteous upon this land of promise! I trust in all God has revealed to me! I will take my entire lead from them, my Gods, and will do whatever they may lead me to do."
152E10-152E13: "Heavenly Father came in front of me in the air! He was smiling and brightly shining. He spoke:
'Raphael, complete our final preparations in the next few weeks for things you will want to have when you cannot buy them from stores, or when your electric power goes out. Get all of your preparations completed as best you can. "If ye are prepared ye shall not fear." (D&C 38:30)
You cannot imagine everything you may need in the future when you are in a different environment, but if you do your best now, we will bless you in abundance, even in times of great want and need. In all of your preparations, write down the impressions that come upon your mind, and then buy these items while you can still do so.
The greatest preparation that our elect may do is to prepare spiritually by doing what we their Gods reveal to them (see D&C 88:119-"Organize yourselves; prepare every needful thing; and establish a house, even a house of prayer, a house of fasting, a house of faith, a house of learning, a house of glory, a house of order, a house of God;"). It will not be necessary to amass everything you think you might need to maintain your current lifestyle, for that will change. Life will become simpler when there is no electricity or connection to the outside world. Fear not and don't fret, but enjoy each day and the blessings that come into your life and that of your family. Follow our directions and we will be by your side in every time of need and trouble. We will lead you along, my son!'
I thanked my Father for coming to me and speaking peace and wise counsel to my mind and heart."
175D1-175D13: "I awoke early this morning and emailed out post 173 to my small group. I also saw a new video from Pastor Dana Coverstone before my prayer this morning. His message was sobering again for each of us to be ready for what is coming. He interpreted the battles he saw as a warning to become prepared for what is to come. It was a sobering message!
I came this morning to the western shore of Lake Beautiful just in front of the maple tree grove. I knelt down and drank living water from the lake and then asked humbly for my Heavenly Mother to come to me.
I then saw a bright light reflected in the water, and looked up to see my Heavenly Mother descending to me from above the lake! She was so full of light and power, and looked sober this morning. I was still kneeling and looked up into her face. She spoke: 'Raphael, you watched the message from our humble sincere servant, Dana Coverstone, this morning which was in the form of a dream to him. This was from us, his Gods, and not from himself.
We require our children to make a stand and to prepare for the great calamities which are to come. If they don't prepare spiritually, but just wait on the sidelines, they will be destroyed or brought into great captivity by the devil.
In his dream, those who engaged the dark and evil hosts were representing our elect, for they have come to us, their Gods, in humble prayer and have sought us over the other voices in the world. In turn, we have given to them spiritual protection, which in this dream were the horses and their armor and swords. We also gave them clear ways and a battle plan for them to prepare, even in detail of how to rid Satan from their lives and families. They then were inspired and took action to attack Satan and his evil hosts by eliminating them and their influence in their personal lives and families. They shored up their homes and organized every needful thing, even as stated in this scripture:
D&C 88: 119
"Organize yourselves; prepare every needful thing; and establish a house, even a house of prayer, a house of fasting, a house of faith, a house of learning, a house of glory, a house of order, a house of God."
By becoming proactive in their fight against the adversary, they will become spiritually prepared for their inevitable battle with Satan, and they will be victorious. By this means, we will spare our elect, but they need to come unto us and seek our help so that we might prepare them for the battle of their souls with the adversary.
Raphael, this confrontation with the adversary will be very real. We are greatly saddened by those who do not come to us in humility and prayer, and allow us to direct them in their lives. There are many who will succumb to Satan and his very clever and treacherous attacks on their very souls!
Well did Nephi see your day when Lucifer will rage among our children, for he knows his time is short:
2 Nephi 28: 20-28
"For behold, at that day (your very day, Raphael,) shall he rage in the hearts of the children of men, and stir them up to anger against that which is good.
And others will he pacify, and lull them away into carnal security, (this is what Dana Coverstone's dream showed with the christian people not willing to engage or be prepared against their adversaries who were those on the other side of the line on the battlefield), that they will say: All is well in Zion, yea, Zion prospereth, all is well-and thus the devil cheateth their souls, and leadeth them away carefully down to hell.
And behold, others he flattereth away, and telleth them there is no hell; and he saith unto them: I am no devil, for there is none-and thus he whispereth in their ears, until he grasps them with his awful chains, from whence there is no deliverance.
Yea, they are grasped with death, and hell; (this was shown clearly in the dream) and death, and hell, and the devil, and all that have been seized therewith must stand before the throne of God, and be judged according to their works, from whence they must go into the place prepared for them, even a lake of fire and brimstone, which is endless torment.
Therefore, wo be unto him that is at ease in Zion!
Wo be unto him that crieth: All is well!
Yea, wo be unto him that hearkeneth unto the precepts of men, and denieth the power of God, and the gift of the Holy Ghost! (this is my Spirit that I will freely give to all who humbly and sincerely come to God in prayer, seeking for protection and guidance).
Yea, wo be unto him that saith: We have received, and we need no more! (These will miss out on our abundant revelations we will give to them individually, and our abundant protection against Satan).
And in fine, wo be unto all those who tremble, and are angry because of the truth of God! For behold, he that is built upon the rock (or upon us their Gods and our personal guidance that we will give to them) receiveth it with gladness; and he that is built upon a sandy foundation trembleth lest he shall fall." (words in parentheses from Heavenly Mother)
Raphael, stay here by this shore of Lake Beautiful with me today in constant prayer. I will further instruct and teach you here all day long.'
I thanked her for her message! I said I would gladly stay by her side today in my unconscious mind. I said I loved her.
I then came back to my conscious self and started my new day on earth."
184I15-184I18: "Heavenly Mother continued: 'Raphael, you have been continuing to prepare every needful thing for the days ahead, which pleases us. Everything you prepare in your own stewardship over which you have influence, continues to allow you to become more and more independent. It is our will that our elect continue to become as self-reliant and independent of the society and world in which they now live as they are able.
In 1832 a revelation as given to Joseph Smith wherein our Son Jesus Christ spoke to him about the importance of the Church of Christ, in their day, to "stand independent above all other creatures beneath the celestial world." (D&C 78:14) We wish this to be reemphasized in your day also, for every one of our elect, as they are able. Many have prepared for years with food storage and developing provident living skills, in hopes to be self reliant. The day is soon at hand when goods and services of all varieties will no longer be available. We wish our faithful to continue to prepare every needful thing (D&C 88:119), as they have strength and ability, without running faster than they are able. It is important that our elect do these things in wisdom and order, and are diligent. (see Mosiah 4:27).'
I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her counsel. I said I would always be in the way of preparation and self-reliance, even in Zion, the New Jerusalem. I said I believed we should do as much as we can do ourselves to sustain and provide for our own. I said I would also share of the abundance she and Heavenly Father bless us with, with our neighbors and those in need.
Heavenly Mother smiled and told me I was correct. She then departed, and I closed my evening prayer."

Doctrine & Covenants 88:119-126
119 Organize yourselves; prepare every needful thing; and establish a house, even a house of prayer, a house of fasting, a house of faith, a house of learning, a house of glory, a house of order, a house of God;
120 That your incomings may be in the name of the Lord; that your outgoings may be in the name of the Lord; that all your salutations may be in the name of the Lord, with uplifted hands unto the Most High.
121 Therefore, cease from all your light speeches, from all laughter, from all your lustful desires, from all your pride and light-mindedness, and from all your wicked doings.
122 Appoint among yourselves a teacher, and let not all be spokesmen at once; but let one speak at a time and let all listen unto his sayings, that when all have spoken that all may be edified of all, and that every man may have an equal privilege.
123 See that ye love one another; cease to be covetous; learn to impart one to another as the gospel requires.
124 Cease to be idle; cease to be unclean; cease to find fault one with another; cease to sleep longer than is needful; retire to thy bed early, that ye may not be weary; arise early, that your bodies and your minds may be invigorated.
125 And above all things, clothe yourselves with the bond of charity, as with a mantle, which is the bond of perfectness and peace.
126 Pray always, that ye may not faint, until I come. Behold, and lo, I will come quickly, and receive you unto myself. Amen.
96E10-99E11, from Heavenly Mother: "The Stake President asked the people to read D&C 88:119-126. This was an inspired scripture:
Verse 121:
"Therefore, cease from all your light speeches, from all laughter, from all your lustful desires, from all your pride and light-mindedness, and from all your wicked doings."
Were our people to ponder this verse, we would confirm to them the great need to repent of all their wicked doings and to turn unto us. We would bring to their minds the specific attitudes and actions they need to drop and eliminate from their lives. We need a pure and holy people, and cannot work with them as closely as we wish unless they are more purified and clean before us.'"

95L1-95L13: "I came today to the celestial realms on the earth. I entered by thinking to be there and then I felt I was there. It is very nearby. I know we servants of God use this place as a base or platform to serve those on the earth.
I knelt on the grassy area, facing a little hill. This is the entrance that I have always come to. I then asked for my Heavenly Parents to come.
Heavenly Mother came to me from on top of the grassy hill! She walked down to a place directly in front of me. She was smiling and seemed happy. She was beautiful and such a glorious being!
She extended her left hand and spoke:
'Raphael, stand and walk with me!'
I stood and took her hand in mine! We walked over the hill and started walking among the beautiful area of the celestial realms on the earth. We walked on a path next to some woods. We passed by meadows and a gurgling stream and a lake.
She spoke to me as we strolled together:
'Raphael, Heavenly Father answered one of S.A.'s questions last night about the main purpose of life. When our children learn to listen to our voice, the voice of the Spirit that we send to them, we will lead them in progressive steps. We always lead them to Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son. We also teach them our ways and how we live.
We live in loving relationships. We love to serve each other and our many children. Our great work is to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of men and women. We show forth great light and love to our children whom we are guiding to come to us and become like us.
Charity is often spoken in the scriptures together with faith and hope:
1 Corinthians 13:13
"And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity."
(see this entire chapter for the definition of charity).
In the instructions we continually give to our children who listen and follow us, we always act and speak in loving ways. We lead our children to serve one another in love and consideration. We teach them of the great importance of the moral agency of all of our children, so that they never seek to force others, gain power or control over them in any unrighteous way, or gain any advantage of others. Instead, we instill love, or charity in them:
1 Corinthians 13:4-7
"Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things."
Moroni 7:46-48
"Wherefore, my beloved brethren, if ye have not charity, ye are nothing, for charity never faileth. Wherefore, cleave unto charity, which is the greatest of all, for all things must fail-
But charity is the pure love of Christ, and it endureth forever; and whoso is found possessed of it at the last day, it shall be well with him.
Wherefore, my beloved brethren, pray unto the Father with all the energy of heart, that ye may be filled with this love, which he hath bestowed upon all who are true followers of his Son, Jesus Christ; that ye may become the sons of God; that when he shall appear we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is; that we may have this hope; that we may be purified even as he is pure. Amen."
When our children on earth come unto us and seek our will, we gradually fill them more and more with our light and love. This tangible substance engenders feelings of all the godly virtues of charity spoken of in these scriptures. We also encourage them to care for and serve others, to act in kindness and think of others' needs, even before their own. We gradually tutor them to become filled with the godly love called charity.
As they act in obedience to our promptings, they are not only filled more and more with charity, but are becoming like us. When they eventually come into our presence, they are already filled with a large measure of our love. We continue then to shower upon them our love, and they witness of our abundant love and acceptance that we have for them. They also may see that our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, has ransomed them because he loves them so fully. He has suffered for their own sins and weaknesses so that they don't need to suffer if they would repent. He cleanses and forgives them because he loves them each so fully.
Charity is something our children receive as their greatest attribute along their journey of a full life of seeking us and wanting to do our will. They act more and more from a place of love and acceptance of others. Their faith and hope is critical in their progress, but if they don't learn along the way to love and succor others, they have really missed the lessons of life. Our objectives are to mold them so that they are filled with love, even to think, and act lovingly of others and themselves. They love seeing others succeed and rejoice in their well being and happiness.
Satan and the devils cannot understand the motivations of love, for they possess none. They are continually filled with hate and all the evil attributes that attend hate. On the other hand, our elect children are filled more and more with charity, the pure love of Jesus Christ, and all the godly attributes that attend love.
Raphael, we are pleased when our children pray to us, in the energy of their hearts, to be filled with charity. We then lead them to act in ways that will strengthen their love in their actions. We fill them with the love of God that we shed forth upon the world. We gently and lovingly act in great love as we nurture and guide their lives.
Charity grows brighter and stronger in our faithful children as they mature through life's journey. Their faith and hope not only increases with their assurances gained in life, but they develop a strong love and bond of charity that covers them, even as a mantle or a cloak:
D&C 88:125
"And above all things, clothe yourselves with the bond of charity, as with a mantle, which is the bond of perfectness and peace." '
Heavenly Mother then stopped walking and faced me. She spoke again:
'Raphael, oh how we love our children! We delight particularly in those who obey us and allow us to lead them. We will fill all our elect with our love and light, and bring them even to a place like we have done for you, even while they are on the journey of life. Please convey our deep love for them!'
I told her I would do so as often as I could! I said I loved her so very much! I thrill to be with her, to learn from her and that I love to be guided by her, Heavenly Father, and Jesus Christ. I committed to seek them always, and to keep their commandments!
She started to embrace me as my vision closed. I felt her love in my heart as I came back to my mortal conscious mind. Oh, what a great prayer this morning!"

Doctrine & Covenants 89:4
4 Behold, verily, thus saith the Lord unto you: In consequence of evils and designs which do and will exist in the hearts of conspiring men in the last days, I have warned you, and forewarn you, by giving unto you this word of wisdom by revelation.
103A1-103B7, from Heavenly Mother: "'Raphael, I want you to come next to me. I want to show you something.'
I arose from my knees and came in front of her. She smiled, reached out to my hand, and said 'Come with me, Raphael!' We immediately left and then it seemed were in a space above the earth.
Heavenly Mother turned to me:
'Raphael, let us go down to visit my children on earth at this time.'
We then traveled to the earth, up in a beautiful mountain meadow. I immediately thought of the novel I had read once named "H.B.". There were mountain flowers, sunshine everywhere, mountain goats and sheep grazing nearby. I wondered why we had come here.
Heavenly Mother spoke:
'Raphael, this beautiful mountain scene is on your earth now. It is so beautiful and clean! These flowers and grasses are fed by rich topsoil, which has accumulated over centuries, and are all now melting glacial waters rich in minerals. These animals eat the grasses and flowers, concentrating the nutrients from these plants into their system. The local villages milk these goats and make milk, butter and cheese, also rich in nutrition. These villagers hardly ever have any health issues, for they are robust and strong!'
Heavenly Mother then took my hand again. We were in a grocery aisle in one of the modern grocery stores in my community. I recognized this place quickly, for I had been there today shopping with my wife and daughter. We moved above the aisles without being seen. I saw rows and rows of packaged foods. There were multiple rows of cereals, candies, frozen treats and prepared meals intended for a quick breakfast, lunch or dinner. We saw the cheese aisle, with some packaged cheese spreads and lots of jams, jellies and crackers. We also saw packaged cheeses in the refrigerated area, next to pasteurized milk products.
Heavenly Mother then faced me, touched my eyes with her fingers and then spoke:
'Raphael, look now on the nutritional level of these prepared foods below us in this modern grocery store!'
I looked down and realized I could see the nutritional value of the foods in this store by how much light or vibrational energy came from them. I looked up and down the aisles and saw mostly no good vibrational foods that could adequately sustain men and women and their families! The only section that seemed vibrant at all was in the produce section with carrots, the organic vegetables, and some fruit. Virtually everything else seemed like filler foods that didn't really feed the human body.
I then thought of the mountain village cheese that I had seen in my mind moments earlier. I looked at these cheeses and raw milk from those mountain meadows in my mind. These foods were brilliantly shining and vibrating at a very high frequency, so far above any foods I had seen in my local grocery store.
As we left the store, I saw a new secondary local hospital in the construction stages across the street. I thought that our food supply had become so poor that the people were getting sick. They were weak and had low levels of vitality, even so that more hospitals were being built to treat their illnesses. I thought this was mostly due to our poor food supply.
Heavenly Mother then spoke again:
'Raphael, you have seen correctly that your neighbors in your community are sickly with low vitality because of the poor food supply. We have designed the earth to be rich and abundant like the mountain valley you saw at first. We have designed the foods they commonly eat to be very nutritious, full of strength and vitality. There is not a need for hospitals or medical doctors, for their bodies hardly ever get sick and are strong.
All this great weakness in your community will change in our coming millennial day. The plants will be even more nutritious than what you saw in the mountain meadow village. Our people will grow up having hardly any disease. Their bodies and minds will be clear and active. This is how we have designed the entire millennial day!'
I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her beautiful message tonight, shown to me by visiting two areas on the earth. I feel determined to eat the best foods I can find that are full of vitality and health. I want to be strong and clear in my mind. I yearn to have this robust state of health!
Heavenly Mother then took my hand and we were back in heaven by the horizontal log. She spoke:
'Raphael, you will be privileged to see the great changes in the food supply from what it is like now in your community to one of very high vitality in the millennial day.'
I thanked her and said I was feeling very privileged to see this transition. I said I loved her and her glorious plan to provide for the health and well being of us, her children.
I then knew my prayer was ending. I told her goodbye and thanked her again for the precious gift of living on earth. I closed my prayer and started for bed.
B. R's Personal Journal Entry, November 30, 2018, Thursday
I prayed about the message I received last night and feel confirmed it is all true. I am somewhat saddened by the conspiring men who are in charge of our food supply, those that are more interested in their abundant money they receive than the health and well-being of the people. Many of those working with them are innocent, not seeing the overall picture. However, there are some who will do anything to make more money at the sacrifice of the health in our society.
D&C 89:4
"Behold, verily, thus saith the Lord unto you: In consequence of evils and designs which do and will exist in the hearts of conspiring men in the last days, I have warned you and forewarn you, by giving unto you this word of wisdom by revelation-"
This current food problem was known about back in 1833 when the Word of Wisdom was revealed to Joseph Smith, the prophet. I can easily see the effects of these conspiring men with our current food supply!
I next wanted to pray to my Heavenly Parents. I came to the beautiful meadow of buttercups that I had visited several times before. I felt cheered up when I came here, for it was so lovely and uplifting to be here! I went to the center of this meadow of buttercups, knelt in the air above them so as not to crush their tender flowers and stems. I then prayed to both my Heavenly Parents, asking one or both to come to me. I then saw a bright light in the sky above me. Both of my Heavenly Parents came to me, descending to me in a column of bright light. They soon were both standing before me, holding hands. They wore gold-trimmed robes. They both were filled with light, which shone over all the meadow and distant trees. They both were smiling. I felt so honored to be again in their glorious presence!
Heavenly Father spoke to me, with his words that flowed into my mind, in my thoughts:
'Raphael, you have seen correctly last night how compromised the food supply in your own local area is. You have been blessed in growing your own produce in your garden and greenhouse. You have not used chemical fertilizers or poisons, but have grown organic foods. This is the best food you have available to you and your family on earth. These foods and ones that you and your wife buy that are the most vital, will sustain you in your mortal life.
When you pray over your food, don't ask your Heavenly Mother or I to bless it, but do so by your own intention and faith. You may say words like this: "I bless this food before us to be as vital and strong as possible to give us nourishment and health." In your prayer on the food, you express thanksgiving to us, but use your own power we have given to you to bless your own food. This is akin to you blessing someone with your priesthood: you don't ask us to bless the person, but you bless them by virtue of the priesthood you hold and exercise.
Also, during your group prayers, be sincere and accurate in asking of us to do anything, always keeping in mind that you are petitioning and imploring us to do something. We will respond to your humble and sincere prayers.'
I gazed upon my Father. He stood in majesty next to my loving Heavenly Mother! They were both accepting of me, in my humble and open condition. I saw that they wanted me to act in as much authority and ability as I had become aware of. They wanted me to become more active in blessing and serving others, in my prayers and my actions, than I had previously done."
117D9-117D15: "Heavenly Father looked deep in thought and Heavenly Mother looked not so serious. She wore a smile on her face, but I could tell she wasn't her normal upbeat self. They were shining brightly before me.
Heavenly Father then spoke: 'Raphael, we have stepped into your celestial realm from our higher celestial realm tonight. We want to talk directly to you about an important matter to us!
You live in a day of great pollutions on the earth as prophesied by Mormon.
"Yea, it shall come in a day when there shall be great pollutions upon the face of the earth" (Mormon 8:31)
You also live in a day spoken by Jesus Christ to the prophet Joseph Smith:
D&C 89:4 "Behold, verily, thus saith the Lord unto you: In consequence of evils and designs which do and will exist in the hearts of conspiring men in the last days, I have warned you, and forewarn you, by giving unto you this word of wisdom by revelation."
Finally, speaking to the gentiles in your day, who are the nations of the world, and particularly your own country, in Ether 8:24: "Wherefore, the Lord commandeth you, when ye shall see these things come among you that ye shall awake to a sense of your awful situation, because of this secret combination which shall be among you..."
Raphael, your own nation is the host to secret combinations run by conspiring men and women who seek to destroy the innocent of the land you live on, and the peoples of the earth. These conspirators are lawless, and have much wealth to alter in a dramatic way the food you eat, the water you drink, and the air you breathe. These once pure and wholesome sources required for your survival are now compromised and polluted to a high degree. The dramatic increase of disease and illness of the physical bodies of our mortal children can be seen everywhere. Our systems of natural immunity and vitality are being destroyed by these great pollutions in your land and world. We foresee our children on earth becoming sickly and very weak as they continue to live normal lives in this ever increasingly polluted world.
We have foreseen this time you live in and have provided a way for our people to survive in these difficult times.'
I asked my Heavenly Father if we needed to eat more organically grown foods, or foods we grow ourselves. I also asked if we need to find sources of pure water. I also asked if we need to move out of polluted cities to areas in the country that have cleaner air.
Heavenly Mother responded: 'Raphael, all of these efforts will help you keep your physical body stronger than were you to eat the poisoned foods in your grocery stores, or to drink recycled tap water, or to live in areas of poor air quality. However, we have a solution that will dramatically counter these sinister plans of the evil one who controls these secret combinations and conspiring men and women.
We desire our holy angels to become conduits of my higher, more intense light of the Holy Ghost. We want them to quickly develop the ability to receive my light from my very presence, and then come above these polluted areas and shine my light through their hands. This light coming from their hands will be projected upon these polluted areas. With the correct intentions of the angels, this light will start to reverse the overtaking scourge and pollutions that are adversely affecting your food, water, and air. If our angels direct my light with intentions to heal the land, food, water sources, and air, we may reverse the ill effects on the physical bodies of our children living in these environments.
At the end of this week, on Sunday April 7, you will have completed your training to shine my light from your heart (done last week) and from your hands (being done this week). Once completed, we will begin commanding you to come over these most severely affected areas at first, and shine forth my intense light of the Holy Ghost on the lands, people, food, water and air, with the intention to purify these of their pollutions. Once other holy angels learn this same skill, they will be charged to do this also. We will have you and our angels replicated many times over to do this great effort, day and night, even until the poisons and pollutions are purified and cleaned up to a better level. We will tolerate a certain amount of poisons to enter the bodies of our elect who are scattered among all nations and peoples on the earth. However, were we to not do this cleansing, the people would soon languish to a point of great death and inactivity.'
I thanked my Heavenly Parents for their great revelation to me tonight! I said I would convey this to all those in our celestial realms where we, who are angels of God, will be working from when we redirect the light of the Holy Ghost down onto the earth.
Heavenly Father spoke: 'In the day of the millennium, the water will become pure again, even akin to the water flowing over this beautiful waterfall. All the waters, food, land, and air will become pure and clean again.'"
203F12-203F24, from Heavenly Mother: "'Raphael, our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, foresaw your day of extreme danger for all peoples:
Matthew 24:21-22, 24
"For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
. . . For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets (this includes President Russell M Nelson in the LDS Church, and all of the ordained twelve apostles in that church), and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect (Raphael, the elect include many of the current active LDS Church members, and the elect righteous from all over the world, some who are deceived by the great deceptions and lies of conspiring men and women in these last days-see D&C 89:4) ." (words in parentheses from Heavenly Mother).
Raphael, your current day will be shortened, even as Jesus described in verse 22 above. This will be in part by the visit we will empower you to make to every one of our elect who have or will accept the Covid-19 supposed vaccine. You will have our healing power when you raise your sword over these individuals, from the celestial unseen realm, and touch the top of their head with the tip of your sword. Our bright healing light will come from your sword, and purge from them the bioweapon vaccine effects, and remove all poison from their bodies. This will lengthen out the days of our elect. In turn, we will shorten the days of those evil perpetrators and designers of this weaponized medical injection, and those they conspire with. This is how your last days will be shortened, for the elect's sake.
Stand now before your Father and me, and look into our faces.'
I stood before them in the cloud, and gazed into their faces. I saw my Heavenly Mother and my Heavenly Father very clearly, even in a bright heavenly vision. There was light all around, and the pleasant and powerful faces of my loving Heavenly Parents.
Heavenly Mother reached over to me and touched my head with her brilliant hand. I saw her hand come upon me, and I felt it light upon my head. She spoke:
'Raphael, I give you my corona fire and healing power to come through your sword of Raphael, to go into every elect child now in mortality who receives this inoculation. I will heal them of the bioweapon that they received or will receive, and protect them with our matchless power!'
I bowed my head and thanked my Heavenly Mother for her bestowal of this ability, and for the acceptance of this, my great desire. Both my Heavenly Mother and Heavenly Father smiled broadly on me when I next looked up to them.
I said I would immediately fulfill their request. I stayed before them in prayer in the clouds of heaven. I then consciously came to every mortal elect son and daughter who had or would soon accept these lethal injections. I went to each and every one. I then stood above each one, and touched the top of their head with my sword of Raphael. I intended that Heavenly Mother's corona healing power that she had just given to me go into their very physical body, and heal them. I requested that all poisons be removed immediately from those who had received the shot, or that the poisons would depart once they would receive this injection.
I then stayed next to those elect in my replicated celestial being to continue to guard them from evil spirits, as I had previously done in February, 2020.
I finally came back consciously before my Heavenly Parents in the clouds of heaven, and spoke: 'My Father and Mother, I have done as you have asked me to do for your elect sons and daughters.'
Heavenly Father then spoke to me: 'Raphael, your Heavenly Mother and I are very pleased with your actions tonight. Tomorrow at noon, teach the 200 teachers about the current world conditions, and about the great conspiracy by Satan and evil men and women, to destroy mankind. Tell them of the great calamities coming upon the telestial earth, among all nations. Tell them how your Heavenly Mother and I have called our elect sons and daughters, and how we have organized our servants to gather them to the New Jerusalem. Tell them of our judgments upon this land of promise, and upon the entire world.
Once you have spoken of the prophecies of these last days, tell of your visit tonight to our elect all over the earth, in protecting these from evil spirits, and now from the bioweapon injections many have or will receive. Tell them about the pandemic, and the great deceit upon the land. Tell them that the real pandemic issue is the bioweapon injection into their bodies of poisons and destructive elements meant to kill life."

Doctrine & Covenants 89:9
9 And again, hot drinks are not for the body or belly.
134C8-134C11: "I then asked about the restrictions of the Word of Wisdom, as taught nowadays by the LDS Church leaders. My sister K had specifically asked about green tea as being something we shouldn't drink (as per the Word of Wisdom). She said she had read over and over how healthy it is and even bought matcha tea, which is grown in Japan and she believes is full of good medicine. She had asked if I had any insights.
Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, the Word of Wisdom speaks of hot drinks not being for the body or the belly (D&C 89:9). The Church leaders have said that the term "hot drinks" means tea and coffee (see Handbook of Instructions 21:3,11). However, our original statement in section 89:9 was about the temperature of the drinks that people consume, and not the type of drink. Extremely hot water is not good for the throat and stomach and should be avoided. We never intended that our children should have coffee or any teas to be restricted. In these cases, we wish our children to study out what foods or drinks they consume and judge for themselves whether they are healthy for their own body. If drinks are consumed, these should be avoided if they are hot.
In your day, there are many drinks and foods that are harmful to the body. We desire our children to study out for themselves, based on the abundant health research and studies available in your day, what they consume. We will also inspire and direct our children who approach us in sincere and humble prayer, on what actions to take with regard to their own health and vitality.
The leaders of the LDS Church were mistaken to label the words "hot drinks" in D&C 89:9 to mean tea and coffee. The restriction of these drinks should not limit them access into their temples. However, we have now departed their temples and access to their temples is no longer an issue with us, your Gods."

Doctrine & Covenants 89:10-11
10 And again, verily I say unto you, all wholesome herbs God hath ordained for the constitution, nature, and use of man
11 Every herb in the season thereof, and every fruit in the season thereof; all these to be used with prudence and thanksgiving.
124E2-124E7: "I came to the cliff to the south overlooking God's Loving Healing Lake, on the celestial orb, I saw the lake below and knelt. Heavenly Mother came to me from her temple to the north. She was beaming with light-I loved being in her presence! Here is what she said: 'Raphael, your health receives a boost with intermittent fasting like you did today. Drink plenty of water during your health fast so that your body may clear itself of toxins without having to spend energy on digestion.
You have many greens from your garden that are also wonderful to increase your physical well-being. When you eat the spring herbs from your garden and greenhouse, and those you have planted around your yard, your body also is greatly boosted. Eating fresh herbs that cleans and strengthen has been so helpful, and has been the main reason why you have had no grass allergies like before when you weed-wacked the tall grasses on your property today. You were amazed that you didn't even have a sniffle during the two hours you cut down your tall grasses and weeds. You regularly eat freshly picked parsley, rosemary, oregano, and comfrey. Add also fresh cilantro and other greens you grow and this will help protect your immunity and cleanse your physical body. Eat them fresh without washing them so that you receive the helpful microbes abundant on your organic plants.
D&C 89:10-11-"And again, verily I say unto you, all wholesome herbs God hath ordained for the constitution, nature and use of man-
Every herb in the season thereof, and every fruit in the season thereof; all these to be used with prudence and thanksgiving."'
I then asked my Heavenly Mother about the occasional ache and pain I still experience in my left shoulder, in the backside. I know this is where Lucifer had hidden when he was extracted in the class I conducted, by the healing angels in the room in May 2016. This is when I was first given my sword of Raphael, and fought with Satan and his hosts. (See "The Conversion of Raphael" in post 16 on 5-13-2016). My question now was this; I know Lucifer is gone from his hidden area in my shoulder, but did he somehow poison that area of my body that still remains?
Heavenly Mother spoke: 'Raphael, Lucifer is no more hiding in your body, but before he left he did leave behind poisons in your body tissues. You may be able to remove the last of these toxins that still remain in your muscles, by continuing to ingest the cleansing herbs and fruits from your garden, greenhouse, orchard and fields. As you eat these daily, think of them removing these latent poisons in your left shoulder area. They will be able to cleanse the area in several months. Then your shoulder pain and aches will depart.'
I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her advice. I feel so happy to have the natural remedies all around me that grow here, in this spring and summer season!"
202E4-202E11: "I came to my Heavenly Mother in prayer this morning. I met her in her upper garden next to the pocketed rock flower wall. Here is what she spoke to me:
'Raphael, my son, you have prepared well for the troubled times coming upon your land, so that you can become independent as much as possible. You are wise to eat your garden and orchard produce when it bears in its greatest strength and nutrition. Store what you don't eat or give away, and don't waste. Food like your garden produce will particularly be needed in the days ahead. It will not only sustain life, but bring health and strength to those who eat it. You are wise to store it away as you and your wife have planned. Your children and their families will have access to all of your food storage that you have carefully prepared for times of need.
D&C 89:10-11 14, 16
"And again, verily I say unto you, all wholesome herbs God hath ordained for the constitution, nature, and use of man
Every herb in the season thereof, and every fruit in the season thereof; (Raphael, these will be available to all those in our terrestrial world in Zion, without the need to store these foods, for they will be ripe and fresh in their full flavor and strength when eaten); all these to be used with prudence and thanksgiving.
. . . All grain is ordained for the use of man and of beasts, to be the staff of life, not only for man but for the beasts of the field, and the fowls of heaven, and all wild animals that run or creep on the earth;
. . . All grain is good for the food of man; as also the fruit of the vine; that which yieldeth fruit, whether in the ground or above the ground" (words in parenthesis from Heavenly Mother).
Raphael, mankind will no longer eat the flesh of beasts as revealed in D&C 89:12-13, for this is part of the telestial mortal world, and not of the terrestrial. All animals will also eat plants to sustain their own lives.
When Noah left the ark, our Son Jesus Christ revealed to him that the flesh of animals could be eaten to save their own lives:
JST Genesis 9:10-11
"But, the blood of all flesh which I have given you for meat, shall be shed upon the ground, which taketh life thereof, and the blood ye shall not eat.
And surely, blood shall not be shed, only for meat, to save your lives; and the blood of every beast will I require at your hands."
This commandment given to Noah will be fulfilled and no longer in force for our children who enter into Zion in the terrestrial world. There will also be no more commandment to lay up and store food for a day of want or need, for the fresh food will always be in abundance throughout the year. At times of grain harvest, the grains may be stored for the coming year and for seed to plant at the correct time. This is also true for cold storage vegetables like potatoes and carrots. However, all fresh fruits and vegetables will be eaten during their own season of ripeness and harvest, when they are the most vibrant in nutrients.
We still want our sons and daughters to be provident and wise. However, the future will always be bright with no fear of future want or lack, for the earth will produce in great abundance and in its strength. Our children will share this abundance freely with each other, and love and serve one another. This will be the future world of our millennial day!'
I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her vision and new health code she revealed to me, for the millennial days ahead in the terrestrial world. I said I was excited to enter soon into such a wonderful world of such abundance!"

Doctrine & Covenants 89:12-15
12 Yea, flesh also of beasts and of the fowls of the air, I, the Lord, have ordained for the use of man with thanksgiving; nevertheless they are to be used sparingly;
13 And it is pleasing unto me that they should not be used, only in times of winter, or of cold, or famine.
14 All grain is ordained for the use of man and of beasts, to be the staff of life, not only for man but for the beasts of the field, and the fowls of heaven, and all wild animals that run or creep on the earth;
15 And these hath God made for the use of man only in times of famine and excess of hunger.
133C14-133C24, from Heavenly Mother: "She spoke: 'Raphael, my son, I am so pleased to come to you tonight! You have wondered about your health and that of our mortal angels and celestial servants. I want to share with you what we wish you to do to keep your home-based on earth mortal body strong and healthy. While you live on earth, your translated body is replicated multiple times in the celestial realms, just as you are replicated before me now on our celestial orb.
Your home-based on earth mortal body needs good nutrition, clean water, a life free from undo stress, and adequate sleep. This is a pattern that is generally known in your current society. Even though you are translated to a celestial level, you still have stewardship over your mortal body on the earth. Your mortal body on earth is actually not in a celestial translated state yet, but your replicated bodies in the celestial realms are. If your home-based body gets sick, or even dies, you will have disruption in your translated bodies that are replicated. You need a mortal body on earth while you are yet in the telestial world, for you to maintain a translated state. Were you to die on earth, you would act as a disembodied spirit in the celestial realm. This would not be what we want, since you are to perform the waters of separation ordinance throughout the millennium, and we want you to be in your mortal state. When your home-based body arrives in the New Jerusalem and meets your translated replicated body that is there, your minds will be merged (unconscious and conscious) and your body in the New Jerusalem will be translated fully to a celestial glory. You will no longer have a mortal body that lives on earth and a translated replicated body doing our work in the celestial realms.
If you get very sick in your home-based mortal body, before that time in the New Jerusalem, your translated bodies will act less able to do your work in the celestial realms.
The other mortal angels and celestial servants are also translated to a celestial level. They each replicate in this translated state and work in the celestial realms, as do you. Their home-based body health and wellbeing is also critical to their performance in their replicated translated bodies. They are also subject to illness and even death. They may still do their work in the New Jerusalem temple if they are resurrected or translated. Many of them will remain in their translated celestial glory throughout the millennium.
You have been taking supplements that enhance your brain cognition. We are glad that you are doing this, for you benefit from all the remedies that you take. You energy test if these are needed and how frequently you should take these.
In addition to this, you also need wholesome food. Your best choice is the food you grow in your own garden and orchard. For vegetables and fruit that do not store well or which you don't grow, you need to buy and store these, as you are able. You already have a lot of these in your food storage, whether dried, frozen, refrigerated or canned.
There will be a time when you will not be able to buy from local stores and will eat what you grow, what you have stored, or what you may barter with your neighbors. There is a lot of food grown and sold in your country that is not suitable for your body. These foods are in the category of poisoned food (like grown or used with glyphosate, chemical additives and fertilizers), and genetically modified foods whose effects on the human body may be detrimental. You therefore should grow and buy organically grown and non-GMO based foods.
You also have chickens that provide for you organic eggs as you feed them organic food or scraps from your own table and are free ranged in your fields for most of the year.
Until the day of the millennium comes and the earth changes from telestial to a terrestrial world, the scriptural references in the D&C to eat meat sparingly, and only in times of cold or winter still apply (D&C 89:12-13, D&C 49:18). If our children desire to not eat meat, they may need additional protein sources or supplementation to maintain a healthy and energetic body. In the millennial day, when our living water will spread forth all over the earth, and the vibrancy of the soil will drastically improve, our children will then thrive on a plant based diet. There will be some who continue to eat eggs like you do now, and raw milk from the cows or goats or other animals. People will no longer have any need nor motivation to kill and eat animals.
In your current world, there are also poison laden items that are not good for the body that are regularly used. These include some soaps, deodorants, lotions, ointments and such, which may be tainted with poisons that may accumulate in the body where they are applied and used. Care and caution need to be taken when not using natural ingredients. In some areas, the air quality and water may even be not healthy to breathe or drink. There may also be electromagnetic interference with the body that needs to be corrected. When our children study these things, we will guide them in what they may do for their overall body health and well being. There are even some supplements that are touted as beneficial that may be grown or processed in ways that are not good for the body. We desire our children in mortality to take very seriously their own stewardship over their mortal body, to maintain and preserve their health.
I thanked my beautiful Heavenly Mother before me! I felt enlightened by her words tonight. I asked her if I had recorded this all down in my personal journal correctly to express her views as I wrote them. She nodded her head and said that my written words were acceptable to her. "
142G15-142G21, from Heavenly Mother: "As you begin eating terrestrial foods, your mind will gradually become more and more clarified. Your physical body will also become more vibrant and healthy. You will lose the desire to eat meat, and your physical body will be able to function well without animal food sources. Until that time, the counsel we gave in the Doctrine and Covenants will still apply.
D&C 49:18:
"And whoso forbiddeth to abstain from meats, that man should not eat the same, is not ordained of God;"
D&C 89: 12-15
"Yea, flesh also of beasts and of the fowls of the air, I, the Lord, have ordained for the use of man with thanksgiving; nevertheless they are to be used sparingly;
And it is pleasing unto me that they should not be used, only in times of winter, or of cold, or famine.
All grain is ordained for the use of man and of beasts, to be the staff of life, not only for man but for the beasts of the field, and the fowls of heaven, and all wild animals that run or creep on the earth;
And these hath God made for the use of man only in times of famine and excess of hunger."
D&C 101: 30-31
"In that day an infant shall not die until he is old; and his life shall be as the age of a tree;
And when he dies he shall not sleep, that is to say in the earth, but shall be changed in the twinkling of an eye, and shall be caught up, and his rest shall be glorious."
The age of a tree means full age of men, that our son or daughter has experienced in living in their youth, teenage transition years, and mature into an adult, and then into a later mature state where their energy wanes, even until a very old age. We wish each to have these broad spectrums of life.
The phrase "being caught up" refers to their celestial resurrection, and changing their main residence from the earth to our celestial orb. They will not generally labor, or live in the world of the spirit dead.
I thanked my glorious and beautiful Heavenly mother before me! I knew all she spoke to me and what I wrote to be true."

Doctrine & Covenants 89:14-17
14 All grain is ordained for the use of man and of beasts, to be the staff of life, not only for man but for the beasts of the field, and the fowls of heaven, and all wild animals that run or creep on the earth;
15 And these hath God made for the use of man only in times of famine and excess of hunger.
16 All grain is good for the food of man; as also the fruit of the vine; that which yieldeth fruit, whether in the ground or above the ground
17 Nevertheless, wheat for man, and corn for the ox, and oats for the horse, and rye for the fowls and for swine, and for all beasts of the field, and barley for all useful animals, and for mild drinks, as also other grain.
144D23, 144D36-144D41, from M.A.: "Q2-She also had a question about D&C 89:15, and wondered if the word "these" in "these hath God made for the use of man only in times of famine and excess of hunger." refer to animals? What about grains being the staff of life-should we eat a lot of them when we need extra strength? She wondered about a lot of people who have gluten intolerance nowadays. . .
A2-The wording of "these" in D&C 89:15 refers to animals spoken of in the previous verse. In a telestial world, our sons and daughters may need meat in times of famine, winter, or excess hunger. Once the earth transitions to a terrestrial realm, the need for meat will also no longer be required.
The grains spoken of in D&C 89:14 and 17 were the grains available to the people in 1833 when this revelation was given. Since then many of these grains have been severely modified in terms of gluten and nutrition, and digestive ability in our people. Wheat, for example, has been hybridized and changed for modern combine harvesting machines, and have been changed to contain much more gluten. The original einkorn that you have in some of your storage is the same type of wheat that we were referring to in D&C 89.
There have been some genetically engineered wheat and other grains that have been modified to change their assimilation into the human body. These have caused many digestive concerns in sensitive people, and usually disrupt the gut microbiome.
In your day, there are also many fertilizers, pesticides, and drying agents used in the farming and harvesting of grains. These also are not good for the body, and may cause many food sensitivities, allergies, and diseases.
None of these factors were existent in Joseph Smith's day when the Word of Wisdom was received by revelation. It is because "of conspiring men in these last days" (D&C 89:4-that the original grains and many other wholesome foods have been dramatically changed.)
The best source of grains is organically grown and of the original non-hybrid grain that we have created for food which have been on your earth since the beginning. Raising your own organic food is ideal, or buying or trading for organically grown foods is your next best options. A provident life style will also help our faithful live in healthy ways now and in the days ahead."

Because of transgressions, these keys were remove from these two counselors when they were excommunicated from the church.

Doctrine & Covenants 93:1
1 Thus saith the Lord, verily, verily I say unto you my son, thy sins are forgiven thee, according to thy petition, for thy prayers and the prayers of thy brethren have come up into my ears.
37F5-37F6, from Heavenly Mother: "'Yes she is correct. The path to increasing one's vibrational level will take some time as several factors change you. First, you have been transfigured, and the physical changes are still happening in all the angels. Second, you have been blessed with the full mantle of your angelic callings, each of you. This acceptance also takes time. It requires knowing and believing that this high and holy calling is real, and that you each have been chosen. Many are still doubting, clinging to their old shells of a former life. Inwardly, each of our mortal angels need to grapple with this new position and view of themselves.
6. We desire each of our angels to see our face (see D&C 50:11; 67:12-12; 93:1). We want each to be continually before us also, as you are, Raphael. For when they come unto us in mighty prayer, and from our hand receive our love and directions, then we will be most happy with them. At that time, they will truly be those through whom we minister to our elect.'"
136C3-136C14: "I remember what President David O. McKay taught about meditation: "Meditation is the language of the soul. It is defined as a form of private devotion, or spiritual exercise, consisting in deep, continual reflection on some religious theme. Meditation is a form of prayer."
He also said "Meditation is one of the most secret, most sacred doors through which we pass into the presence of the Lord."
I came into this beautiful mountain forest in a meditative mood. I felt great peace and beauty all around me. I then asked for my Heavenly Parents, or one to come to me.
I then heard footsteps coming from my left from down the path towards the circling waters. I turned and saw my glorious Heavenly Mother coming to me up the path! I was so glad to see her again! She came right in front of me and stood, shining her bright light through me and to all of the surrounding area. I felt so clear and filled with her light, even like being transparent again! She was smiling and emitted great love and acceptance to me in her light.
'Raphael, you are correct in what you wrote in your journal about meditation this morning! Meditation is a secret entry way to come back into our holy presence. Being in nature is also very helpful, for we have created nature in all of its great varieties to help our children feel so very connected with us. I am glad you regularly come to our celestial orb in your meditations, for the areas you come to pray to us are perfect places for us to unveil our beings to you. We may send upon you our holy light and Spirit, with our emotions and thoughts that we wish to convey to you. You may receive a fullness of our glory and truths in a beautiful connection with us here.
We love to see our children who approach us in prayer to come to us in a quiet, peaceful setting. Once they visualize in their own minds themselves approaching us in humility, we wish for them to look into their own souls. Questions they might ask include "Am I sufficiently open to hear whatever God might share with me?" or "Will I follow whatever God tells me to do today?", or "Will I be able to hear the voice of God in my own mind and heart, this still small voice, above my normal thoughts and concerns of my own day?"
As our children practice prayer and meditation, seeking for us to come and speak to them, they will one day be able to see our face and know that we live.
D&C 93:1
"Verily, thus saith the Lord: It shall come to pass that every soul who forsaketh his sins and cometh unto me, and called on my name, and obeyeth my voice, and keepeth my commandments, shall see my face and know that I am."
We require that our children be clean spiritually when they see our face and when we reveal ourselves to them. We therefore send to them our beloved Son, Jesus Christ, who has suffered for their sins and weaknesses. He alone is worthy to cleanse them of their many sins, shortcomings, and weaknesses. He will forgive them of their sins, and make them clean, every whit, so that they may come back into our presence. He usually introduces them to the Father and me. We then continue to guide and speak to our child through our Spirit. One day we will come to them more openly, like I came before you today. This is all based on our own timing and way, suited perfectly for our inquiring child.
We watch and observe our children on earth or in the spirit realms of the dead. We see what they do with their time and how kindly and Christ like they treat others and our own creations around them. We observe how much of their day they make room for us and how much they think of us. We see all of their actions from behind the veils of mortality. This all determines how quickly we open up ourselves to them.
When there is a particular trauma, hardship or emotional or physical upheaval in their lives, we draw near to our distressed children. As they approach us in the sincerity of prayer, we draw closer to them and reach out to them through our still, small voice of our Spirit. We comfort and bless them, often answering their pleas for our help in ways to bless their lives.
We also watch how diligent and persistent our child is in their prayers and yearnings after us, their Heavenly Parents. If they are constant, consistent, and full of faith, we will respond quicker than to those who casually approach us, or only come to us in their times of great need. Our celestial natural sons and daughters will want to be in our presence, and will be persistent in their pleadings to us. They will also change their lives to conform to what we ask them to do or not to do. Thus, by degrees, we will shape our elect children to a point where we reveal more and more of our truths, our light and guidance. We lead them individually, each one uniquely, according to our understanding and desires as their Heavenly Parents. Oh how we love and nurture our faithful who want to know us and to follow us, even above the pull of the world, their culture, their family, and anything else they may place in front of us. We will them all the joys of the righteous in time, even our very presence and the joys of eternal life and exaltation!'
Heavenly Mother was shining with joy and happiness before me as she concluded. I knew she was visualizing her faithful children in mortality who would one day awaken to them, their Gods. She, Heavenly Father, and Jesus find so much joy in their rescued children! This deep joy is what our Gods love to experience in us, their children."
44I3-44I12: "Last night I asked a few question in my prayer:
Q- Is what David wrote to me about, the distinguishing characteristics of the righteous and the wicked as found in D&C 84:51-54, really true and interpreted correctly? Is coming to Christ really the whole purpose of religion, so that we can be introduced to the Father and Mother, and have a relationship with them again, even in mortality?
A- Yes, this is what all true religious activity points to and promotes-that our children come unto Christ (this is also the overall message of the Book of Mormon), and to have an experience with him. Then he will introduce them to the Father, and then to Heavenly Mother. They will then direct and guide their child. See D&C 84:57-59-
"And they shall remain under this condemnation until they repent and remember the new covenant, even the Book of Mormon and the former commandments which I have given them, not only to say, but to do according to that which I have written
That they may bring forth fruit meet for their Fathers kingdom; otherwise there remaineth a scourge and judgment to be poured out upon the children of Zion.
For shall the children of the kingdom pollute my holy land? Verily, I say unto you, Nay."
Also Jeremiah 31:33-34-
"But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more."
Those who try to do this are called righteous, and those who do not try, or who lack faith and don't try, are under condemnation for not coming to God, in this very personal way. These are called wicked. This is why the whole world groans under sin, because they will not make the effort to come unto God. See D&C 93:1-"Verily, thus saith the Lord: It shall come to pass that every soul who forsaketh his sins and cometh unto me, and calleth on my name, and obeyeth my voice, and keepeth my commandments, shall see my face and know that I am;". This is our true desire for each of our children.
Last night I thought a lot about trying to hear more of what I perceive and receive from God, in my unconscious mind. I was wondering if this was possible, while a mortal or while a translated/transfigured being.
I have been told that I would start receiving more and more of what I am being told in my unconscious mind. It is not like God is trying to hide from me what he says-it is more that I have not developed in myself the perception to hear or tap into God.
Here is what I believe God is now telling me, in my mind-
'Raphael, all that we have been showing you, when we come before you in our kingdom and celestial world, is communicated to you in what you call your unconscious mind. Your recent tour on the path in Heavenly Mother's garden area last Sunday night, was also fully experienced by you in your unconscious mind. The reason why you recall parts of this experience is because you are already perceiving a lot of what you receive in your unconscious mind.
Your perceptions will increase more and more, until you see and feel more and more. It is like exercising the physical body-the more you exercise, the more fit, flexible and strong you are. This is also true in the spiritual realms, as it pertains to your unconscious mind. This awareness of what we are doing with you, and communicating to you, will naturally and gradually clarify, and become more real to you as you continue to pursue being with us, and receive direction and guidance from us. Your permanent transfiguration also greatly enhances your perceptions, and helps bridge between your conscious and unconscious minds. What I am communicating to your mind at this time is done in your unconscious mind, and you are able to receive it all and record it properly in your conscious mind.'
Later, at my evening prayer:
Tonight when I had my prayer, I went to the little hill next to the east side of the pool and the north side of the river. I faced the temple in the distance. I could see the waterfall a short distance away. It was all so beautiful!
I knelt on the rock, which had some grass and flowers around. I called out for Elohim to come. My Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother came in front of me. They wore gorgeous white robes with gold trim on the borders. I immediately saw that both of their capes were blowing in the breeze of change.
I looked into their eyes, and their faces. They were compassionate, gentle and loving.
I addressed them:
'Father, Mother, I come unto thee today in this glorious place in thy kingdom. I come to thee both, seeking to receive instruction from thy mouth, and to know, if I may, why thy capes are blowing in the breeze of change?'
I then waited, and Heavenly Mother addressed me:
'Raphael, our son, we are giving our mortal angels a wonderful opportunity to connect with us in much more dramatic ways than in the past. It is our desire, and offer to them, to approach us in the humility of their heart, in all sincerity, seeking our face and our direction. We will much more openly answer their prayers, more freely than in the past. We will send our Beloved Son and come ourselves, depending on our child who addresses us in prayer. This is our attempt to come unto them, and make our abode with them, prior to the time when we will be asking of their service in more dramatic ways."
61L3-61L9: "I asked a question from M.A. about whether she was considered fully awakened as an angel. As I asked her question, I realized that her unconscious mind was fully awake, and communed frequently with her Heavenly Parents. I believe this is also true of all mortal angels of God. In this way she was fully awakened to God.
However, in her conscious mind she said she hasn't been able to connect with God yet-it is just a blank when she gets to that point in her prayers. There is therefore a disconnect between her conscious mind and her unconscious mind. I believe this is what she and all of us struggle with who are in mortality!
I then thought of my wife, my faithful second son, and his six-year old son. These also have a conscious and unconscious mind. I feel their unconscious mind is familiar with God even while they are in the flesh, for there is full remembrance in their unconscious mind of all of their premortal life with their Heavenly Parents. Their mortal conscious mind cannot recall this connection, only through feelings and revelation. We can, however, exercise our minds so that our connection to our unconscious mind becomes more and more clear. This occurs primarily through meditation, prayer and mental visualization. God can and will bless us to become more and more aware of our true, unconscious self as we seek to connect. In so doing, we also connect to God. Actually, I believe seeking the face of God, which we are commanded to do (see D&C 93:1-Verily, thus saith the Lord: It shall come to pass that every soul who forsaketh his sins and cometh unto me, and calleth on my name, and obeyeth my voice, and keepeth my commandments, shall see my face and know that I am;) will awaken us both to God and to our own unconscious mind.
R.S. also asked me a question, how peoples of all different religions and cultures could come to the unity of the faith in a future day. I feel the answer is the same-through their yearnings to connect spiritually to their Heavenly Parents, their God, and then God awakening them to God, and then more and more to their own unconscious minds and self. We are truly all children of God. Once Satan is bound, I believe it will be much easier for all nations and peoples to connect to God and themselves as well. Satan now tRs and dupes the perceptions of their beginnings and their premortal lives.
So back to M.A.'s question-she is awakened fully as an angel, as are all angels now-in their unconscious selves. They act in the celestial realms above in this unconscious self, fully receiving direction from God. The connection between their conscious and unconscious self is where we all need to work, until it improves and clarifies more and more. Eventually, we can connect in our conscious mind-unconscious mind to the point that we perceive what our unconscious mind sees and does in the celestial realms with God. As we spend more time in prayer and meditation, this connection improves, clarifies and is strengthened. It takes concentration and lots of practice!
I then stopped and gazed again on my Heavenly Parents before me. I asked if my writings were correct and pleasing to them. Heavenly Mother then spoke to my mind these words:
'Raphael, what you have written in your journal is accurate about the unconscious mind and the conscious mind of man. We have placed a veil of forgetfulness between these minds so that our child may have the mortal probationary experience we wish them to have. However, if they come unto us in persistent prayer and meditation, trying to visualize us before them, we will lift the veil in time. It will be in our own way, in our own timing, and usually in a gradual, step-by-step way. We desire all of our children on earth to persist in seeking us, their Heavenly Parents, and to take time to connect. It takes effort in prayer to view us and to perceive who they really are, as our beloved children of glory.'
I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her wonderful confirming words! Oh how I love their presence, their words, and their assurance!"
87G13-87G17: "Evening-Tonight I felt to go to the end of the river representing Jesus Christ that goes into the rocky pit. It seemed an unlikely place for me to pray. I came to the top of the rocky hole, faced the water going down into the hole and knelt. I asked for my Heavenly Parents to come.
I looked around and saw my Heavenly Father on the other side of the rocky pit. I had no idea why I was where I was and why he was there, opposite me, with the big gulf between us. Heavenly Father then motioned for me to come directly to him, across the middle of the pit. I stood from my kneeling position and looked at him across the way. I know he wanted me to walk in the air directly to him.
I started walking and kept looking at my Father and did not look down! I soon arrived at his side. He then stepped off of the rocky edge to the south. I came with him and knelt on the grass there.
Heavenly Father spoke:
'Raphael, you obeyed my will for you to come across the rocky gulf. The water was crashing down and the noise was loud. There was a spray of water coming up around you. Had you looked down as you crossed the gulf, you likely would have become afraid and lost faith in your ability to walk in the air to me. However, you walked and kept your eyes on my encouraging face. You never looked down.
Raphael, this rocky gulf can be compared to your journey through life. There are many temptations and treacherous events that reach out to afflict your journey back into our presence. It is imperative for our elect to keep focused on us, their Gods, and to connect frequently, night and day, to us. We will encourage them as they look to us. We will always be near them as they seek us.
There are many who want to come to us their God, in prayer and see our faces. However, these same people don't make the effort to daily pray with focused energy. They are easily dissuaded by the things of this world and the subtle temptations of the adversary.
In order to see our face, they have to be very determined and put high priority on connecting with us. We wait and see how much they really want to see us and commune with us.
See D&C 93:1
"Verily, thus saith the Lord: It shall come to pass that every soul who forsaketh his sins and cometh unto me, and calleth on my name, and obeyeth my voice, and keepeth my commandments, shall see my face and know that I am."
You did this, Raphael, and Our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, first came to you. He soon introduced me to you and then a few days later, your Heavenly Mother. We, your Heavenly Parents, have continued to speak to you and direct you since then. We will now always be with you! You have proven to us your diligence before us by your devotion, perseverance and obedience. Great revelations await those who pursue the same path as you have made, Raphael!'
I then saw my Heavenly Father disappear, and I then was back in my front room. I so appreciated the path he laid out for all of us to come to see God, even while in the flesh. I know what he said was true."
176H27-176H28: "Heavenly Father continued: 'Raphael, you come regularly into the presence of your Mother and I because of your appointment to reveal our truths to our elect children. You come frequently and consistently because of your desires and intentions, and because we bring you into our presence. Without such a mission or calling, your exposure to us would be more limited. However, any of our elect are invited to call upon us diligently and we will answer their prayers. In time, they too will see the face of Jesus Christ and be brought into our glory and see us in these celestial realms.
D&C 93:1
"Verily, thus saith the Lord: It shall come to pass that every soul who forsaketh his sins and cometh unto me, and calleth upon my voice, and keepeth my commandments, shall see my face and know that I am."'"

Doctrine & Covenants 93:1-3
1 Thus saith the Lord, verily, verily I say unto you my son, thy sins are forgiven thee, according to thy petition, for thy prayers and the prayers of thy brethren have come up into my ears.
2 Therefore, thou art blessed from henceforth that bear the keys of the kingdom given unto you; which kingdom is coming forth for the last time.
3 Verily I say unto you, the keys of this kingdom shall never be taken from you, while thou art in the world, neither in the world to come;
170J3-170J12: "As I prayed, I saw a bright light on the east wall of the temple. Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother then walked through the wall onto the grass and to me! They were holding hands and both were smiling.
I gazed upon their glorious beings, trying to capture in my mind this moment. It is so remarkable to come into the presence of my Heavenly Parents like this, even while I live in mortality!
Heavenly Mother spoke: 'Raphael, we will be here all day long, during your mortal day on earth. We desire to have similar experiences with any of our elect children in mortality. They would need to come to our Beloved Son first, who then brings them into our presence, even as has happened to you over seven years ago:
D&C 93:1-3
"Verily, thus saith the Lord, It shall come to pass that every soul who forsaketh his sins and cometh unto me, and calleth on my name, and obeyeth my voice, and keepeth my commandments, shall see my face and know that I am;
And that I am the true light that lighteth every man that cometh into the world;
And that I am in the Father (and Mother), and the Father (and Mother) in me, and the Father, (Mother) and I are one-" (words in parenthesis added by Heavenly Mother in this and subsequent scriptures in this post).
We will guide each one, step by step, here a little and there a little, even as we have guided you, Raphael. We will gradually unfold all things to those who diligently seek us.
Do not worry about not consciously coming into our presence during your days, for you are replicated and with us through the day each time we invite you to be with us in constant prayer. Your conscious and unconscious minds are connected, only you cannot have the unconscious always before you when you live in mortality. The day will come, however, shortly after you come to the New Jerusalem to build our temple there, that your mind will become as one. This will give you the confidence and knowledge, even given by us, to be our Branch who will do this great thing:
Isaiah 11:1-2
"And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse (Christ), and a Branch shall grow out of his roots.
And the spirit of the Lord (should be "the angel of the Lord", see your post 54B1 to 54B9) shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord; " (see also your post 54K10 and 54K11).
Raphael, you will then fulfill the words of Zachariah:
Zachariah 6:12
"...Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is the BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the Lord." (see your post 54M14).
Raphael, we have chosen you and are grooming you to fulfill this future mission. We gradually have revealed to you great things, and are tutoring you to prepare for this spiritually demanding task ahead. All of your work now that you are receiving and doing is preparing you for this work. Once the temple is built to a sufficient level, you then will start performing the waters of separation ordinance for our faithful elect, thus bringing them into our Church of the Firstborn. Oriphiel will then record this ordinance in the Lamb's Book of Life, and which is the promise of eternal life and exaltation.'
Do not lose heart in the daily struggle of mortal life, Raphael. We are with you and continually now stand by you. There is nothing to fear or doubt. All will be fulfilled in time, even as I have said!'"

Doctrine & Covenants 93:11-14
11 And I, John, bear record that I beheld his glory, as the glory of the Only Begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth, even the Spirit of truth, which came and dwelt in the flesh, and dwelt among us.
12 And I, John, saw that he received not of the fulness at the first, but received grace for grace;
13 And he received not of the fulness at first, but continued from grace to grace, until he received a fulness;
14 And thus he was called the Son of God, because he received not of the fulness at the first.
142B4-142B12: "Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, you have been taught by your Heavenly Mother and me that changes in your body and mind come gradually rather than suddenly. This change is a process from a lower condition to a higher condition. In this gradual way we will shape and mold you into the man of God we wish you to become.
John the Beloved saw that Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son, received of my fullness, in a gradual way:
D&C 93:12-13
"And I John, saw that he received not of the fulness at the first, but received grace for grace.
And he received not of the fulness at first, but continued from grace to grace, until he received a fulness."
Raphael, you also will receive of a fulness, in a similar way that our Beloved Son received a fulness of my glory, in a step-by-step manner. The fulness of my glory is to become even as I am, an ordained God, even a couple with your wife for eternity. This same process will happen for all of our elect.
Heavenly Mother taught you the importance of eating wholesome foods with high vibrational content. These will gradually enhance your terrestrial mortal body to reach the highest level possible for your current condition. In the millennium, your body will gradually improve also, for your food source will change to a terrestrial food. Our children may eat foods that are of an equal or lower realm, but not of a higher. This is why you may still eat telestial foods, even though your body is now terrestrial. However, you would not eat celestial food, in your terrestrial state. These won't be available to you.
When you come to the New Jerusalem area, we will change your terrestrial body further. You will have access to your unconscious mind in a much more clear and dramatic way. Even now you are gradually changing by perceiving more of your unconscious hidden mind, memory and thoughts. However, the changes you will experience at the New Jerusalem will be more dramatic and real. We will extend this great blessing to you because of your important calling in that temple you will do in behalf of our elect children. You will recognize them and know of them, even from your associations with them in your pre-mortal life together.
Your life will also be extended during the millennial day. You will not die until the end of the millennium. You will retain your physical terrestrial body in your mortal life, and you will continue to work in our temple and celestial realms in your replicated celestial translated body. It is because that you possess a translated body that we will be able to suspend your death for a thousand years. This same blessing of having their unconscious mind restored to them, and their physical life extended to the end of the millennium will be given to our holy angels who labor in our New Jerusalem temple in the celestial realms.
We desire our holy angels to officiate in our New Jerusalem temple in their translated celestial bodies. We do this, rather than have them be resurrected, because these ordinances that they will perform for our sons and daughters is to be done on a mortal earth, and not in heaven among those who are resurrected. We have chosen that these ordinances would be done in mortality, during the thousand years of peace and rest.
In a similar way, we require baptisms into the Church of Christ to be done on earth in a mortal physical condition.'
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his new explanations and revelations this morning. I told him I felt so humbled and honored to be able to receive of these great truths that he and Heavenly Mother shower upon me!"
187J6-187J14, from Heavenly Mother: "Raphael, what your Heavenly Father spoke to you last night about weaknesses is all true. We evaluate each of our celestial sons and daughters who are prepared to come to their mortal experience. We determine what circumstances they will be born into, and how the weaknesses of their flesh will help them mature and grow into strong sons and daughters on earth. We stand ready to strengthen them as they come unto our Beloved Son and to us in humility and faith.
Ether 12:27
"I give unto men (and women) weakness, that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men (and women) that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them." (words in parenthesis by Heavenly Mother).
Your weaknesses in connecting to your own feelings will become a strength to you, for you will one day entirely have this mastered. As a result, this ability will become a part of you in your mortal life. Other mortal weaknesses will also be overcome, even until you will become perfected in your mortal body, as much as can be.
Ephesians 4:13-15
"Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
But speaking the truth in love, may grow up unto him in all things, which is the head, even Christ."
We also gave our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, weaknesses of the flesh that he struggled to overcome. He received therefore not a fulness at first, but slowly overcame until he received perfection, even to a fulness.
D&C 93:11-14
"And I, John, bear record that I beheld his glory, as the glory of the Only Begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth, even the Spirit of truth, which came and dwelt in the flesh, and dwelt among us.
And I, John, saw that he received not of the fulness at the first, but received grace for grace;
And he received not of the fulness at first, but continued from grace to grace, until he received a fulness;
And thus he was called the Son of God, because he received not of the fulness at the first."
The example of our Beloved Son, in overcoming and struggling, depending upon us, his Gods, in humility and obedience, is the example for all of our children to follow. He is the way, the truth, and the life, no man cometh unto the Father (and Mother), but by (him)." (John 14:6, words in parenthesis added by Heavenly Mother).
I wish to add my words to those of your Heavenly Father last night. Your mortal self still has weaknesses that you surely will overcome in the flesh, even as you too grow in grace by grace, here a little and there a little. However, your replicated celestial being, our servant, is perfected before us in power and strength, even as we desire. We are glad that this is so, for you are continually in our presence and act as our faithful servant in helping us orchestrate our great work on the earth and in our heavenly realms. Keep your mortal self and your celestial replicated selves separate for now in your minds' eye, and this will serve you best. Oh, I love you, my son!'
With this Heavenly Mother leaned over the little stream and lifted me up to a standing position. She then fully embraced me! I felt her deep love and acceptance of who I am, complete with all the weaknesses of my flesh that I experience on earth."

Doctrine & Covenants 93:12,19-20
12 And I, John, saw that he received not of the fulness at the first, but received grace for grace;
19 I give unto you these sayings that you may understand and know how to worship, and know what you worship, that you may come unto the Father in my name, and in due time receive of his fulness.
20 For if you keep my commandments you shall receive of his fulness, and be glorified in me as I am in the Father; therefore, I say unto you, you shall receive grace for grace.
188J15-188J17, from Heavenly Mother: "You also wondered today while listening to your post, how Jesus Christ grew from grace to grace. Your Father and I did not treat him much differently than any other of our earthly children in his struggles to get to know who he was and to grow. We allowed him fully to question and wonder how he could be called and foreordained as the Great Messiah and Redeemer among mankind. He had many moments of doubt, and had to grow here a little and there a little, just like you and all of our mortal elect do. As he applied himself, we extended a little more to him, and he grew in faith.
D&C 93:12, 19--20
"And I, John, saw that he received not of the fulness at the first, but received grace for grace;
...I give unto you these sayings that you may understand and know how to worship, and know what you worship, that you may come unto the Father in my name, and in due time receive of his fulness.
For if you keep my commandments you shall receive of his fulness, and be glorified in me as I am in the Father; therefore, I say unto you, you shall receive grace for grace."
The same process that Jesus Christ received a fulness is the same way that you and each of our elect will also receive a fulness, even the power of God in perfection. This same process is what is called grace for grace. It is an incremental growth and progress towards perfection, even to its fulness.'"

Doctrine & Covenants 93:20
20 For if you keep my commandments you shall receive of his fulness, and be glorified in me as I am in the Father; therefore, I say unto you, you shall receive grace for grace.
128I7-128I11, from Heavenly Father: "Raphael, only our receptive, open and humble children have receptive hearts, minds, and bowels, which receive the light from us their Gods. If our children are closed, think they know of themselves, or are hardhearted, living in sin, or seek for their own pleasure, gain, or other selfish desires, our light does not stay with them but departs. Light cleaves unto light (D&C 88:40), and will not remain in darkness where darkness is desired and resides.
On the other hand, if light resides within our children, then when more light enters into them this light may remain and enlarge the amount of resident light. In this way our children may gradually receive an abundance of our light, and be further taught and refined in our light, being led to all truth. The light that remains in them will continue to enhance and refine them, for this light is really our Spirit by which we may speak to them peace, teach them how to love, and bring into their beings our joy and every form of enlightenment. If they don't reject our light, they may receive more and more light, even until they receive of our fullness.
D&C 93:20 "For if you keep my commandments, you shall receive of his fullness (which fulness is being filled with our light), and be glorified in me as I am in the Father, therefore, I say unto you, you shall receive grace for grace." (emphasis added by Heavenly Father in parenthesis).'
Heavenly Mother then started to speak to me: 'Raphael, you see that our light shines forth upon all of our children, but only comes into and resides upon those who are open and receptive. Our light may continue to come into them as they make place for the light, by their acceptance of our light, our truth and our messages that come with the light, specifically for them. This is our Holy Spirit. Our receptive and open followers will become more and more filled with our light, even to a fulness. When a fullness, they may then come into or presence, being accepted by our Beloved Son, and introduced again to the Father and me. We will then continue to teach them by our revelations, and lead them gently as we are leading you.
This entire process is our gospel plan for our children, as our children receive more and more light, and it remains in them, being continually poured into them by us, their loving Heavenly Parents and Savior, Jesus Christ, then that same light will shine from their eyes, and may come out of their hands too, even as has happened to you!'"

Doctrine & Covenants 93:29
29 Man was also in the beginning with God. Intelligence, or the light of truth, was not created or made, neither indeed can be.
106B3-106B39: "This morning in my prayer I came to the desert not far from the desert oasis. I was southwest of the oasis I believe, out in the middle of the celestial desert. There was sand and beautiful desert plants here and there. The celestial sun was up in the celestial sky and I was happy and enjoying my surroundings. I perceived great peace all around me. I walked around a little and felt this is where I was to meet with my God(s) this morning. It was so exceedingly quiet here.
I knelt on the sand and faced the distant oasis that I had come to love. I didn't see the oasis but I knew in which direction it was. I realized this direction sense I had was also from my spirit sense capability. I then asked in my mind for one or more of my Heavenly Parents to come to me. I waited and watched, or waited and perceived.
Heavenly Mother then came walking to me from the desert oasis. I couldn't see her, but I fully perceived everything that she was doing, for it was given to me. I saw her waiting on the bench by the oasis, then she heard or perceived my request to have her or Heavenly Father come. She then stood and started walking directly to me. As she walked, she came in a beam of light to a location right in front of me, wherever I was in that desert.
I still did not see her with my spirit or physical eyes, but I fully perceived everything about her presence and being. I sent to her my thoughts of me being so pleased to be in her wonderful presence, and that I felt so honored to be with her again! I could perceive she smiled broadly, and that her eyes were sparkling and shining with joy. I knew all of this observation was fully in my spirit sense that my Heavenly Father had shared and explained to me last night.
Heavenly Mother then spoke to me, all the while remaining hidden from the view of my spirit eyes or my physical eyes. 'Raphael, my son, what you have written last night and so far this morning in your personal journal is true. Your Father has revealed to you the core way we communicate with each other in our celestial world. It is the very most real form of communicating, intelligence to intelligence, spirit to spirit, and entity to entity, that is possible. All intelligence beings have this capability, for it is part of their intelligence makeup.
Our intelligences have always existed. You, Raphael, and I have always been, and were never created or made in our intelligent form. We were contacted by other, more intelligent beings at the time of our first being chosen as a child of God. This came first to me before that opportunity came to you. I ultimately came through a creation process, finally becoming a female God. And then, with your male God, your Heavenly Father, we came to your eternal intelligence and communicated with you.
At the time we both first met you and communicated with your intelligence, you were located outside the boundaries of the universe, which universe consisted of organized intelligence and matter. Outside this universe boundary, all was unorganized intelligence and matter. All of it had always existed and was never created or made:
D&C 93:29 "...Intelligence, or the light of truth, was not created or made, neither indeed can be."
You were intelligence, also called the light of truth, for all intelligence is the basis for all truth and being. There is no existence or intelligent being, or truth of anything without intelligence existing in the vast existence of space.
In the beginning, there was no universe, for there was no organization of the intelligences, and all was just 1) intelligence, or the light of truth and knowledge, and 2) elemental matter. It was only when our first parent Gods, being the most intelligence of all the intelligences, each combined elemental matter with their own core intelligences and made a spirit in which their intelligences fully filled this spirit form that now had a boundary.
Raphael, all of this may be difficult to understand, but it is real. You are now communicating with me by the spirit sense that Heavenly Father revealed to you last night. You cannot see me, but only perceive me with your spirit sense. This is akin to the way we first communicated to you as a single intelligence outside the organized universe.
The core intelligence has no boundary or substance, for it is not matter. On the other hand, matter has substance and is tangible. Your base intelligence, before we contacted you, existed, had being, but did not have any substance or a boundary. It did have a location, however. We came to that specific location where your intelligence existed and communed with you. We offered you to become our son, created with substance or elemental matter, in our own form and image. We were communicating with your intelligence with the spirit sense. You accepted our offer, and then we took your intelligence and ultimately created you in the birth process as a spirit infant. This was the very first time your intelligence had been combined with elemental matter and had a boundary.
It took your intelligence some growing into your new infant spirit form. You soon filled completely your new spirit, occupying all the spirit with your intelligence. From this time onward, your intelligence would always be housed in your spirit. As you grew larger in your spirit, your intelligence also filled your spirit. In the future, when you learned to replicate your spirit, your intelligence then filled more than one spirit entity that was still you, with all of your intelligence and being. This then became the new separated boundary parts of your intelligence.
All the while now, Raphael, that you live and have being, your intelligence fully occupies your spirit or spirits that are replicated to as many number as is needed to do your great work. You are still one intelligence in all of these spirit forms, or boundaries, for your intelligence has the capability to divide among all the separate spirits and still be the same and in all only one intelligence.
You have also learned to replicate in your physical body, all controlled by the replication of your spirit bodies. Raphael, your core intelligence also increases in its light and knowledge, or intelligence factor. You will continue to grow and increase in intelligence until you even become like us, a God, knowing all things.
Raphael, I will return to you tonight to this isolated desert location to explain more on your intelligence and its capability and composition. You have received enough to absorb for now!'
I thanked my loving Heavenly Mother for her beautiful revelations to me today! I feel kind of maxed out, and also so very excited to learn more! I feel so very grateful to my Heavenly Parents for their amazing revelations to me! I then closed my prayer and started my day.
Evening-Tonight I came to the isolated desert location where Heavenly Mother had appeared to me this morning. I felt I would receive more revelation on intelligences and spirit sense.
While I was walking on the desert sand, I felt to face and kneel towards the desert oasis to my north. I couldn't see it, but I sensed where it was located. I asked my Heavenly Mother to come. I waited and observed. I shut my eyes and tried to sense, with my spirit sense, where my Heavenly Mother would be coming from. As soon as I shut my eyes, I realized my Heavenly Mother was standing right next to me, on my right side! I decided to keep my eyes closed and communicate with her through my most powerful communication method, my spirit sense.
Heavenly Mother was standing and smiling at me. She seemed to be waiting for me to quiet down in my thoughts so that I could fully perceive her.
Heavenly Mother then spoke to me (or rather, communed with me in her mind with her thoughts): 'Raphael, I am glad that you have quieted down yourself and sought to perceive me, rather than try to see me with your eyes. Again, spirit sense is the most real and sure way to perceive me.
Tonight, I would like to share a little more about the characteristics of intelligences and elemental matter. We each have one core intelligence that directs all of our spirit being. In turn, our spirit directs the physical body in which it is housed. So, ultimately, the intelligence directs and controls everything about who we are, how we function, and what we do.
The base intelligence, in the beginning, was not visible because it had no substance or matter. This is hard to visualize for you. You are familiar with spirit entities made in our image, or in images of the other creations. In these spirit states, the intelligence occupies the space of the spirit that is created from elemental matter. The spirit is tangible, but the intelligence is not.
In their original locations, beyond the boundaries of the universe where there are creations of God, the intelligences remain where they have always existed. They do not have movement since they are not tangible. We, who are Gods, come to them in their location and communicate with them. They may think and have agency, but do not have any abilities associated with material entities, like any of the creations of God.
The elemental matter, located next to the intelligences, also has no movement, for they have no intelligence being that would move them or act upon them. If we, who are creators of the universe, and who are Gods, act upon the elemental matter, only then may it move and be organized by our power.
In the very beginning, when there were only intelligences and elemental unorganized matter, we all only existed as intelligences. As we have told you before, the very first two most intelligent of all the intelligences found a way to take the elemental matter and combine this with their own intelligences to create their own spirit beings. They then became spirit entities, or intelligences, shrouded by the spirit. The intelligence of each first God filled all the space and boundary of their spirit and then had form and boundary, and tangible substance. This was the first creation.
All other intelligences at that time had no substance and therefore were hidden, or not in a tangible state. They had full function of thought, agency and being, but were unable to do anything. They had to be invited by the first or subsequent Gods, to be added to their creations. To be created meant that these initially would be born into an entity, possessing elemental matter, formed in a shape and creation designed by God. This was a very great increase in capability of that intelligence, for now it could move, have tangible substance, and continue to think and communicate with other intelligences who had also been created in some form.
These are the principles of the creation of entities in the beginning. Remember, both the intelligences and the elemental matter always existed, and were never made by the Gods. The Gods instead used their superior understanding and intelligence to form what always existed into a living entity.
The entity of the spirit, filled with intelligence, became a living creation. The intelligence gave the entity thought, agency, and the motivation for all actions, and the elemental matter gave the entity substance and material being with which the entity could move.
The communication between intelligences always existed, and exists now also. When we wish to communicate with one single intelligence beyond the universe, we may do so. We use directed thought from our intelligence to that isolated intelligence. This is called spirit sense, our term for the most sure form of communication between intelligent beings. This communication occurs before there is often any spirit associated with the intelligence. All intelligent beings are able to thus communicate together, in this intelligence-to-intelligence communication of thought exchanged between them.
When one intelligence wants to commune with another, the thoughts of the first enter into the thoughts of the second. The second intelligence may then understand the first. It then may send directed thoughts to the first.
This same spirit sense communication may occur between all intelligent entities that possess spirit form and physical form, in any of their states of creation. It is the most basic and sure way of communication.
When one entity becomes familiar with another, it begins to sense when the other comes into its presence. This is also part of the spirit sense capability. The entities are also able to perceive with the capability of the intelligence all of the boundaries or form of the other spirit entity, or the physical entity if that is the case.
Raphael, with no spiritual eyesight, you may only perceive me next to you and you may also "hear" in your mind, of your intelligence, what I may place there with my directed thoughts. We may thus carry on a conversation of thought exchanges back and forth. We cannot be deceived in this thought exchange, for there is only one way to place a thought and that is by the base intelligence placing it there directly.
When there is spirit-to-spirit communication, it is possible that one spirit may deceive another by their talk, whereas with thought communication this is not possible. This is why the Spirit of God, that uses thought communication, cannot be deceived and is sure. This is the way we often speak to our children.
When our children become mortals, and fall to a telestial state, they are subject to communication methods that are not as sure as spirit sense communication. Speaking with words is the most prone to deceptions, spirit-to-spirit communion is next most sure, but the very most secure is by intelligence-to-intelligence communions, or by spirit sense.'
I thanked my loving Heavenly Mother for her words, transferred to my mind from her directed thoughts. I felt so honored to receive her revelations tonight."
111G1-111G6: "I came early this morning to the desert oasis for my quiet time in personal meditation and prayer. I came again to the bench where the celestial sun was not yet up above the horizon, yet it was light outside. I knelt in the sand facing the water. I asked for my Heavenly Parents to come to me. I then saw my Heavenly Parents coming on the path from my left, walking arm in arm! They seemed to be on a slow stroll around the oasis. They were smiling and quietly talking.
They came in front of me and Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, M.A. had a question she wrote to you that we would like to answer.
Q-If we were left in outer space where intelligences reside, would we become more intelligent, or does experience make a person more intelligent?
A-The intelligences have a given level of intelligence at which they remain. By remaining in their state in eternity, they do not become more intelligent, but remain as they are. Progression and growth comes from the experiences we give them and then in their mortal physical bodies. We who are Gods also have more intelligence added in eternity, but those who attain a degree of glory in a lesser kingdom do not have more intelligence added, but have a cap to their growth.
We all existed in this state of being as intelligences from the beginning. We were co-eternal with each other. There were no intelligences that were created or made (see D&C 93:29), only those who were given opportunity by a couple God to become one of their creations or one of their own children, created in their very imaged.
In the very beginning, when our first parent Gods were intelligences and had not yet created spirits for themselves, all of the intelligences existed that would ever be. There were all varieties of intelligent beings, called intelligences. These were located in the vast immensity of space which had no boundaries. There was no organization of these intelligences by groups or classes,for all were randomly located wherever they existed. Each one had a being of knowing, with the capability of communicating one with another by their spirit sense. They had no form, for they existed only as intelligence with no elemental matter. These intelligences didn't have knowledge of how they even came to exist. However, they have always existed, for there was no time nor state that they didn't exist. This concept has now become just accepted as what was in the beginning, before the gods came to be.
The same situation existed for elemental matter. This was tangible substance that had no intelligence or being, but existed as raw element, the fundamental building blocks that the gods used in creating intelligent beings when they combine intelligence and elemental matter. The intelligence and elemental matter never were created, but always existed in the vast immensity of space. There are no limits to intelligence and elemental matter. These continue to exist in space and uninhabited space continues to exist outside the organized universe without end.
Raphael, these concepts are what are, and have no resolution as to why they exist nor how they could have come to be, nor the question of, if there is an end to space, intelligence or elemental matter, for this has never been found. Therefore, we who are the Gods, accept these facts and do not dwell on reasons or queries anymore about how these all came to be. We all have accepted this is what is and do not question further. We know what is and that is sufficient. Basically, there was no creation before our very first parent Gods started to create their own living beings, consisting of their own intelligence and elemental matter. This is the beginning of all creation.
We are very indebted to our first parent Gods who, by their superior intelligence began the process of creation, starting with themselves. They are still creating and finding great happiness in their creations. They also have shared with their own offspring who qualify, their methods and means of creating so that they, too, may have this great joy and happiness in their own creations and offspring. Those with whom are shared these secrets and powers of creation are called the Gods, and belong to the family of the Gods. Without these there would be no perpetuation of creation. New creations bring joy and happiness to their creator Gods. The Gods continue to create and find deep satisfaction and happiness in their creative works. These works of God never end.
We have found that the greatest joys we are able to attain, amongst all the actions we do, are when we experience with our highest creations, our own children, the fulfillment of them becoming even as we are, gods themselves! This process starts with the selection of an intelligence whom we offer to create into our own son or daughter, combined with elemental matter into a spirit offspring. The process continues as these, our children, accept, by their own will and agency, to become like us as they progress in their first and second estates. If they are faithful and obedient, they are eventually crowned as husband and wife couple gods themselves, to begin the same life and godly processes as we experience.
When these, our children, attain to becoming gods themselves, we, in turn, receive the highest joy and happiness possible. We become fully and eternally bound to them forever, linked in love and in a relationship that keeps bringing us deep satisfaction and joy. There is no end to the amount of joy and happiness we are able to receive from the continuing process of these choice children becoming like us. As they receive joy, we also rejoice with them and find more joy too. Our works are eternal and we call them one eternal round.'
I thanked my kind and loving Heavenly Father for his remarkable words this morning. I told my Heavenly Parents that I received a great measure of happiness when I come before them and receive from them. They both smiled. Heavenly Mother said that my joys would only increase as I follow them and keep their commandments. I saw that their commandments are calculated to make me happy and bring this same joy to them as I obey."

34 And when separated, man cannot receive a fulness of joy.
I received the following about the fulness of joy that couple Gods receive in eternity (see also my note in Revelation 22:2):
January 25, 2024, in my morning scripture study:
I had the impression that the pastel flowers on the tree of knowledge of good and evil produce twelve manners of fruits when pollinated, each colored the same as the pastel flower they fruited from. Each fruit also tastes different, as do our fruits on earth taste different, and are different shapes, textures and sizes. They also each enhance various attributes of peace and faith (assurance). As couple Gods chew and swallow the leaf of this tree, and all of its twelve fruits are eaten, with the intention to receive the spiritual measure or manner of each fruit, along with eating the fruit and leaf of the tree of life (filling each with the love of God and healing), they bring a fulness of joy! This results in extreme love, peace, healing and faith. As I wrote these words, Heavenly Mother whispered to my mind "Raphael, these words you have written this morning were from me and are true." I had gone over these words again and again until she confirmed the specific words I should use.

Doctrine & Covenants 93:37-39
37 Light and truth forsake that evil one.
38 Every spirit of man was innocent in the beginning; and God having redeemed man from the fall, men became again, in their infant state, innocent before God.
39 And that wicked one cometh and taketh away light and truth, through disobedience, from the children of men, and because of the tradition of their fathers.
123F5-122F18: "You asked about how our children on earth may discern between truth from God, from our Spirit, and deceptions from the adversary.
D&C 93:37, 39- "Light and truth forsake that evil one.
And that wicked one cometh and taketh away light and truth, through disobedience, from the children of men, and because of the tradition of their fathers."
Raphael, we sent the Spirit of God to all of our children who dwell on the earth. If they accept our Spirit, and act on our truths, we give them more. If they reject our Spirit, and don't do as we ask of them, then we remove our Spirit. This is also removing our light, for Spirit consists of light.
When our child disobeys us, then light is reduced in their body and spirit. Satan then comes, tempting them to further disobey God, and to remove them further away from God. As our children follow Satan and the natural man, they lose more light and truth. They choose evil ways more than the good, and we are rejected. Our efforts to reach them with our Spirit continue to be rejected, for they love Satan more than us. They become carnal, sensual and devilish to some degree.
The way to avoid therefore in being deceived by the adversary is to accept and received our Spirit that we send to them! They will know our Spirit, for it enlightens their minds and hearts, and becomes delicious to them, as spoken of in Alma 32. The darkness that comes from that evil one always appeals to the natural man. The Spirit is spiritually discerned and received, just like our children received it when they were living in their pre-mortal state. As they receive our Spirit, more and more light will flow into them. We will guide and direct them, and they will surely know that it is we, their Heavenly Parents, who send to them this light and speak to them.
When our children ask for a witness from our Spirit, we send them either the Spirit of God or the witness of the Holy Ghost. We may therefore lead them carefully, even as they are obedient, and act on what we give them, to whatever we wish to lead them to.
Our children may discern between our Spirit or the Holy Ghost, which both are full of light and resonate in their spirit, and the deceptions of the devil, who is always darkness to some degree. Try as he might to be an angel of light, he cannot give light for he has so very little. His promptings are void of light. He whispers to our children to their minds his deceitful promptings. Our children hear his words and thoughts in their own minds. However, these are void of light that always accompanies and is part of the Spirit of God. To the spiritually discerning, there is a dramatic difference between light and darkness, or the Spirit of God and the deceptions of the adversary. The more one follows the Spirit, the more clearly is the difference between light and darkness. The more one follows Satan and his deception, the more darkness they themselves have, and they can't understand or receive the Spirit of God, for it is foolishness to them (see 1 Corinthians 2:14).
Raphael, this is the manner in which our children may receive light and truth from our Spirit, and know that they are not deceived.
All of our messengers, angels, guardian spirits and those sent from us, their Gods, also carry our messages filled with light. Our Spirit accompanies them, so that our child in mortality will know they come from God. Satan, nor his evil hosts, are not able to mimic the light that accompanies our words, thoughts or emotions.
Raphael, we frequently send our Spirit of God to our children who receive from us, and desire to receive our words and revelations. We choose whether to give them the strong witness of the Holy Ghost, or to send them our Spirit. When the Holy Ghost witnesses to them, this is a very deep and surer witness to their spirit of our message. For those who are confirmed a member of the Church of Christ, they may have the companionship of the Holy Ghost to always be with them. The Holy Ghost may also come upon any of our children on earth, and witness to them, and depart. We may therefore send our messages with more power and intensity through the power of the Holy Ghost.
Again, Satan cannot send to our children messages with accompanying light, for he has none to give. He has lost his ability to communicate in realms of light, for he is evil continually and we have removed most of the light from him. All light comes through us, your Gods. The only light he and the devils may receive is the light energy that comes from your sun, for we make this light shine upon all on the earth. Light matter also flows down freely from the heavens from us, but is not received by those who love darkness more than light.
This light matter that gently flows down upon the earth is also called the light of Christ. This enlivens all of our creations. There is no message that accompanies this light of Christ. If we do send a message, thought or emotion with this light, and it comes from us, then we call this the Spirit of God.
Our light matter, or the light of Christ, comes into the minds and hearts of our children on the earth freely. Their conscious is a manifestation of the light that comes into them, enabling them to discern good from evil, light from darkness.
Moroni 7:16- "For behold, the Spirit of Christ is given to every man, that he may know good from evil; wherefore, I show unto you the way to judge; for every thing which inviteth to do good, and to persuade to believe in Christ, is sent forth by the power and gift of Christ; wherefore ye may know with a perfect knowledge it is of God." '
I thanked my Heavenly Father for coming to me today in his temple, to give me more understanding! I felt so much peace and clarity from him! I said that I loved him, and would always follow his directions."
144A3-144A8, from Heavenly Father: "You may look around on all those in the congregation, who are our children in mortality. They each are also intelligences that we have chosen as our spirit offspring. These never had a beginning, but have always existed as individual intelligences, for they were all in the beginning.
It is not possible for you to now look around the congregation and determine which of these individuals were the first ones chosen. We know, since we chose each one as our son or daughter, one at a time. You, Raphael, were the first intelligence chosen in this eternity among those now living in mortality on the earth.
However, the order of the choosing of our children in the spirit does not at all affect their valiancy and believing heart in mortality. The first one or the last one chosen may be just as faithful as each other.
In mortality, in this telestial fallen world, we are truly able to see who will follow our still, small voice where there is truth and safety. We prove all of our beloved children in this probationary estate. It is their base intelligence within them that makes these decisions.
We have reared them in our celestial world in their spirits, where they have passed their first estate. However, they are now in the much more difficult second estate. These all came as infant mortals born to earthly parents, all innocent in the beginning of their mortal life. They have been fully redeemed by their Great Redeemer, Jesus Christ, prior to coming to earth. He redeemed them of all their weaknesses, mistakes and sins, so that they could become pure and innocent again before us their Gods, as in the beginning when we chose them as intelligences to be our own children.
D&C 93:38-"Every spirit man was innocent in the beginning; and God having redeemed man from the fall, men became again, in their infant state, innocent before God.""

Doctrine & Covenants 95:4
4 For the preparation wherewith I design to prepare mine apostles to prune my vineyard for the last time, that I may bring to pass my strange act, that I may pour out my Spirit upon all flesh
44G2-44G4: "It has been one week now since you have sent out the cover-up post. This has been hard on some of the mortal angels to receive and accept. However, as many as have asked us in sincere prayer, have received our witness to their heart and mind.
We are pleased that you have fully accepted this truth, and are now prepared to act in whatever we ask of you to do. We desire all of our angels to 'wean themselves from the milk, and draw themselves from the breasts' of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and the culture in which they live (see Isaiah 28:9 "Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts."). Our desire is to have each of them come unto us, and receive all truth from our very mouths. For very soon, we will come down and initiate the cleansing of our own church, and then of the world (see D&C 112:24-26).
This information about the cover-up and transgression, at the highest levels of our church, needs to be made known and accepted by our mortal angels. The timing of the revealing of this information has been fully orchestrated by us. We will use our holy angels in our strange work in these last days. (see D&C 101:95 "That I may proceed to bring to pass my act, my strange act, and perform my work, my strange work, that men may discern between the righteous and the wicked, saith your God.", and Isaiah 28:21 "For the Lord shall rise up as in mount Perazim, he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act.", and D&C 95:4 "For the preparation wherewith I design to prepare mine apostles to prune my vineyard for the last time, that I may bring to pass my strange act, that I may pour out my Spirit upon all flesh"). This includes the cleansing and the restoration of all things, including the land of Zion and the New Jerusalem, that will soon be founded upon the land."

"They seek not the Lord to establish his righteousness, but every man walketh in his own way, and after the image of his own god, whose image is in the likeness of the world, and whose substance is that of an idol, which waxeth old and shall perish in Babylon, even Babylon the great, which shall fall." (D&C 1:16)

64A3-64A6: "Heavenly Mother spoke:
'Raphael, we are glad that you chose to attend the church services at San Xavier del Bac Mission in Tucson, Arizona. The people you saw there represent a very large group of our children on earth and in the spirit world who are humble and believe in us, their God. Many of these will embrace the truth once they hear it. They are religious and want to do what is right. These are only kept from the truth because they don't know where to find it.

And he gathereth his children from the four quarters of the earth; and he numbereth his sheep, and they know him; and there shall be one fold and one shepherd; and he shall feed his sheep, and in him they shall find pasture."
3 Nephi 22:14-15, 17
"In righteousness shalt thou be established; thou shalt be far from oppression for thou shalt not fear, and from terror for it shall not come near thee.
Behold, they shall surely gather together against thee, not by me; whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.
...No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall revile against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord."
Moses 7:61
"And the day shall come that the earth shall rest, but before that day the heavens shall be darkened, and a veil of darkness shall cover the earth; and the heavens shall shake, and also the earth; and great tribulations shall be among the children of men, but my people will I preserve."
I have also wondered why there is often fire spoken of to protect the righteous prior to the Second Coming?
I feel relieved that God will protect and preserve the terrestrial elect! What a great blessing this will be!
I came this morning to the eastern shore of Lake Beautiful where I had seen the mirror-like surface of the lake on Thursday morning 10/24/2019. I asked for my Heavenly Mother to come. She came immediately beside me, smiling! Her light was not shining, for she looked like a normal person, but I knew her, particularly her eternity eyes.
She spoke to me:
'Raphael, I appear to you this morning with no glory that you see from a normal person. This is how our terrestrial elect will appear to those who are telestial round them, prior to the glorious second coming of Jesus Christ.
However, we will entirely protect our terrestrial elect, even if it so be by fire that will consume the telestial wicked, our terrestrial will be preserved! The fire I speak of will be terrestrial fire at the second coming. At the end of the world, when the earth dies after the millennium, we will also send fire, but that will be celestial fire.'
Heavenly Mother then backed up on the lake and a large cloud came above her. Suddenly, intense fire came down from the cloud! It entirely engulfed her, but she then walked out of the fire upon the surface of the water, back to me.
She spoke: 'Raphael, you have seen fire come out of the cloud and surround me. However, I was not affected within my person or my clothing. We will have permanently transfigured our elect to a terrestrial glory in their mortal bodies by the end of your year 2019. They will have been purified and elevated to withstand the terrestrial fire that will engulf the wicked. They will be preserved by our power over any destructive forces in their telestial world. They will be preserved by our matchless power!
The scriptures that you have recorded this morning in your journal describe how the wicked will perish and the righteous who follow us will be preserved. This is our promise to all our faithful elect!
Some years ago, you fell on a dangerous rockslide in one of your Utah canyons while on a father and sons campout. We sent our angel to protect you and to turn you over and land you on the rocks, thereby avoiding body injury. There will be many instances similar to this where unseen forces will protect our mortal elect. We will also remove them from danger, or shield them by our power, or make them disappear from their enemies-all because we have chosen them to be preserved and led as calves of the stall into our new terrestrial millennial day!
Our righteous need not fear, but give us praise and thanksgiving for our great gift of protection we will extend to them!'
At this time, my Heavenly Mother gradually became more and more filled with light, even until she was brightly shining before me! Her celestial light penetrated and engulfed me! I felt so very enlightened and loved.
She spoke: 'Raphael, you are pure before us, and accept and receive my celestial presence as I stand and shine intensely before you. Our terrestrial elect will also abide the light and fire, for they too will be pure and holy and able to receive of that light and glory.
When Jesus Christ comes in glory upon the earth, he will come in his great celestial glory in the skies above the earth. Our holy angels will descend with him to the earth, for they are celestial and may abide his presence. Our terrestrial elect will be quickened to a celestial glory and also meet Jesus in the clouds of heaven. The dead who have died and merit a celestial resurrection will also rise from the dead and meet Jesus in the clouds of heaven. All will be celestial in the clouds of heaven.
The light, fire and glory of Jesus Christ that is celestial will remain with those who come in the clouds of heaven. However, when this light extends to the earth, it will become terrestrial light. The earth will transform to the terrestrial, for it will already be in a state of change on its surface from a telestial glory to a terrestrial glory. Those who remain as telestial on the earth will be consumed by the light and fire of the terrestrial glory that comes from Jesus Christ, the Savior and King and ruler of the earth. They will all see him and the righteous who come with him who fill the heavens as Jesus descends in glory.
When Jesus comes to the earth and walks upon her surface with the elect of God, he will lessen his light and glory to the realm of the terrestrial. The elect and holy angels of God and other servants will lessen their glory also, to that of the terrestrial, for the glory of the earth will be in that day, all terrestrial except in the New Jerusalem temple and the temple square area.
This lessening of his light is the manner in which Jesus came among the Nephites as recorded in 3 Nephi. He walked among them in a lower state of glory so that they could be in his very presence in their telestial world. Were he to remain in his celestial glory, they would need to have been quickened to a celestial glory to remain without being consumed by the glory, light and fire of his presence.
In the millennium, when Jesus Christ descends and walks among our sons and daughters on the earth, he will be in terrestrial glory. Those on the earth will all be terrestrial at that time and the earth will be terrestrial also.
When those elect come into the New Jerusalem temple square area, and into our celestial temple, they will be quickened to a celestial glory, or if already transfigured or translated or resurrected to a celestial glory, will come in their celestial state of glory. We will be among them also in our celestial glory.'
I thanked my glorious Heavenly Mother for her amazing teachings this morning! I expressed my heartfelt love and desire to always keep her sayings and truths close to my heart.
She then ascended up into the same fiery cloud that was over her, above Lake Beautiful. I closed my prayer and started my new day."
124D4-124D4: "4. This virus that brings destruction upon many people in the LDS Church at first, and then upon the world, may be cured, even after being contracted. This is a different virus, for the cure will be for the ones afflicted to repent and come unto Jesus Christ, their Great Redeemer. In this way, it will be akin to the brazen serpent that Moses put on a pole (see Numbers 21:9). If the people were bitten by an actual poisonous serpent, they would only have to look upon the brazen serpent on the pole to live and be healed. For those who didn't believe enough to even look, they suffered and died from the poison in their bodies. Likewise, for those who contract the deadly virus in a day soon at hand, if they will humbly and sincerely repent, open their hearts to us, their Gods, and come to Jesus Christ in prayer, seeking to change their lives and accept our promptings, they will be healed. For those that do this, we will send our healing angels from the celestial realms to bless and heal them of the viral infection in their body. Your Heavenly Mother and I will send our angels to whom we will, for we know the hearts and minds of our children. We will preserve and protect our own who are our elect. There may be a few casualties from the viral plague we cause to come upon the people, even from among our elect, but these will be relatively few in number.
D&C 97:22-28 (see scripture above)"

Doctrine & Covenants 98:2-3
2 Waiting patiently on the Lord, for your prayers have entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth, and are recorded with this seal and testament, the Lord hath sworn and decreed that they shall be granted.
3 Therefore, he giveth this promise unto you, with an immutable covenant that they shall be fulfilled; and all things wherewith you have been afflicted shall work together for your good, and to my names glory, saith the Lord.
39G4-39G12: "I then realized that I have no power of myself, to imagine any of these places, or my interaction with God. The experiences in my prayers need to come from God, and not from me. I can get myself in a ready state, but I still can't 'demand' to see God! This experience in prayer needs to be two-way: I need to get myself in a position of faith, desiring to come in their presence. Then once I am in this state of desire, and in a meditative-prayerful state, I need to 'wait on the Lord', like a scripture says in D&C 98:2-3:
"Waiting patiently on the Lord, for your prayers have entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth, and are recorded with this seal and testament, the Lord hath sworn and decreed that they shall be granted.
Therefore, he giveth this promise unto you, with an immutable covenant that they shall be fulfilled; and all things wherewith you have been afflicted shall work together for your good, and to my names glory, saith the Lord."
So I need to come unto my Heavenly Parents, with a prayerful and waiting heart, believing that God will fulfill my desires.
With this attitude, I started my prayer again, on my knees by my bed. I was prayerful and in meditation, with a petition that was waiting upon God.
I then perceived they were in front of me! I energy tested and verified, with that means, that they were before me, but I couldn't see them at all, only perceiving their presence. I could tell they were in front of me, in the air-but I couldn't 'see' them. I was trying to see them, but felt I needed to be patient. It wasn't me doing this, but it was their own will that was making this so. I will therefore wait upon the Lord, like the scripture says. It has been over half an hour, now that I have been waiting.
I felt I should continue writing, for the process may help someone who is struggling in his or her prayers.
After this time, I then was able to 'see' the eyes of my Heavenly Father! I could tell he was smiling before me, on my left front and I could 'see' the eternity eyes also of my smiling Heavenly Mother! This experience and glimpse, filled me with joy and contentment!
I then perceived that Heavenly Mother came in front of me, with Heavenly Father further back. She spoke to my mind:
'Raphael, write the words that I will speak to you', she said. I got my pen and am now to this point in my journal, ready to write:
'Raphael, we have purposefully hid ourselves this morning from you. We did so in an effort to show our struggling mortal angels, through your experience, that we do hear them, and will show ourselves to them spiritually, as we have you, but at the time of our choosing. Our child may pray to us, and we may wait. This is entirely our choice. We cannot be forced to come, or demanded upon, with some threat or feeling of a one-sided agreement that our child may make up. We will come when we will. Our child should petition us, and then wait on us, ever be ready to perceive us, with an eye of faith and hope.
Raphael, this journey that you have made in your prayers, has also taken lots of your time and effort. It has been gradual, day-by-day. Remember back in January 2015, when you determined to wait on us, in your prayers, seeking to not speak with us until you perceived our presence? You have faithfully done this now for nearly two years! This persistent waiting until you feel we are near, before you speak, is also a very important attitude. For this long you have come to us, waiting on us. We, on our own volition, have in turn, come to you and have connected, but on our own timetable. We did so, in our wisdom for your greatest growth. We so eagerly wanted to connect immediately, but it would not have been as good for you. Now we feel we can come every time you pray, because this long have we communed together. This has been so pleasing to us, our son!
Please encourage our mortal angels to persist, and wait upon us! We will also do with them what is best for their growth.
Also, it is now time to share all of this with them, all that you have written in your journal since your last website post.
We love you, Raphael!'
I then saw her, with my spiritual eyes, or senses, step back to the side of her husband, my Heavenly Father. She held his hand. They were both smiling.
I then responded:
'Oh, my Heavenly Father, My Heavenly Mother, I am so glad to be finally in thy presence again this morning! I realize that what I see is accurate. I can't 'imagine' you before me, nor can I speak to thee in prayer, unless thou art before me. I only can see or not see what is reality. Nothing that I have written or shared online with the angels is made up-but is all so very real to me, and is true! I am so grateful to know that I am pleasing thee both, and am loved by thee.'
They then seemed to fade, and I felt very satisfied. I closed my prayer in the name of Jesus Christ."

Doctrine & Covenants 98:5
5 And that law of the land which is constitutional, supporting that principle of freedom in maintaining rights and privileges, belongs to all mankind, and is justifiable before me.
Sun, June 30, 2024
In church today we sang the opening hymn, p 338 "America the Beautiful" since this is our independence week of celebrations. I received a gentle nudge from the Spirit that this hymn will be sung during the entire millennium!
After I partook of the sacrament, I saw Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother before me, dressed in their regal robes, with gold trim fabric. They were majestic! I looked at myself and saw myself dressed in my angel vestures, with a gold crown temporarily on my brow, and the flag of the republic temporarily in my left hand. I then saw both the crown and the flag on the celestial rock before us.
I then heard Heavenly Mother say to me the following: "Raphael, I gave you the nudge of my Spirit during your singing of "America the Beautiful". This will be a land of liberty to all who dwell in it.
Raphael, we have brought you here to the flag of liberty that you placed on this rock, and the gold crown that you placed here. This hymn is one of the main hymns of freedom that our millennial saints will sing yearly at the celebration of liberty that will occur in this land of America and in the entire world."
I then remembered the event of the light of a thousand suns (194H1-194H26). I remember the words I spoke as I kneeled on that celestial rock on May 16, 2021, having just placed the flag of the republic into the rock: 'While the stars remain, and the heavens send down dew upon the earth, so shall the Union last!' (194H18).
I felt very grateful and humbled at the sacrament meeting today.
Afterwards, I shared with my wife that I had a strong impression that "America the Beautiful" will be sung throughout the entire millennium. ______________________________
Sacrament talk on "How can I be more Christlike in my service to others?"
I pray that the Holy Ghost, will be with me and with you during my short address. Brother S asked that I speak on "How can I be more Christlike in my service to others?"
First off, joy comes from loving and serving others. When our we, the children of God, think more and more about ourselves and less and less on others, we have reduced joy. I believe that our Gods above, who include Heavenly Father, Heavenly Mother,the Holy Ghost, and Jesus Christ, are consumed in blessing, serving, guiding, and gently leading us. I believe they think of our own happiness and wellbeing and very infrequently about their own happiness and wellbeing. Because they do this, and love so fully, they are filled with continual joy and purpose. This is an eternal principle they follow.
When one of God's children rebel or reject their light and love, they are saddened, but I imagine they try to let that be a temporary passing. I believe that they find the deepest satisfaction and joy when their children seek their faces and obey our counsels! Those who do so become their very elect, their sons and daughters whom they will exalt and allow to become even as they are!
Once my wife went on a walk with a friend who only talked about herself and never once even thought about asking how D was doing. My wife was gracious and listened to her for the 45 minute walk.
On the other hand, a neighbor hadn't seen my wife walking past her house for the past two days, and thought she was sick. She prepared soup and brought it over to D. This loving neighbor was constantly thinking of others, and wondering how to serve and help them in their lives.
While both people visited with D, I was with a fellow ward member who brought his earth movering machine to help get our garden area finished. This man has a large family, and came after a full day's work to help for a few hours. He wouldn't take any payment, but cheerfully helped in what would take me weeks to shovel manually. I truly felt very kindly towards him, and was amazed at the willing service he gave me.
The neighbor who brought soup and the man with his earth mover served us unselfishly. They sought no reward, and loved us as themselves. This is true neighborliness and Christian service. I know God sees this, and loves to see such selfless love and actions among their mortal children. This sort of godly service will be typical of what neighbors will do for each other in the millennial world. They truly will love their neighbor as themselves.
In Matthew 5:43-48 Jesus said:
"Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy.
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil, and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect."
It is interesting that the command to be perfect follows directly the admonition to love selflessly. I believe this is the path to become perfect.
In this teaching, Jesus Christ taught that we should not only serve those in our circle of friendship, but those also who are counted to us as our enemies. Our love and service should not be restricted to any class of people, or just to our friends, but to all in need that we may be able to help.
Jesus also taught the parable of the Good Samaritan in Luke chapter 10. The compassionate and kindly Samaritan had never before seen the one whom he helped, but served him even as he would want to be served and loved himself. This sort of thought and intention is truly loving one's neighbor as oneself. I believe that this is one of the principles that will be lived in fulness in the terrestrial millennial world. It is a requirement for building and sustaining Zion, the pure in heart, where there are no poor or those in want among them (see Moses 7:18). This is truly the sign of a Christian.
Without training on how to live God's gentle ways, we would not be able to change into the godly person need to become. So much of the religion now on earth concerns itself in procedures rather than on living a kindly and loving life. The way we children of God treat each other is so important in helping and in making for a happier world of peace and harmony. God's beloved Son, Jesus Christ, emphasized the great importance of living godly virtues, of human interactions, of openness and humility, acceptance and forbearance. If Jesus were here today I believe he would re-emphasizing the same interpersonal virtues and teachings.
Happiness also does not come from knowing details about how the universe works or came to be, or of the knowledge of future events, but of living in harmony with truths and principles of love and service. This brings the most contentment and lasting peace to our eternal being!
This is how the Nephite's promoted love in God's church-
Moroni 6:9 "And their meetings were conducted by the church after the manner of the workings of the Spirit, and by the power of the Holy Ghost; for as the power of the Holy Ghost led them whether to preach, or to exhort, or to pray, or to supplicate, or to sing, even so it was done."
Without the presence of the Spirit and the Holy Ghost, the saints are largely left without God's guidance. They tend to revert to policies and procedures and the carnal man. They generally even don't know how to act in true love, acceptance and non-judgmental open behavior.
I believe at the beginning of the millennium, the Holy Ghost will be fully present. In this office and position, the Holy Ghost will imbue in the saints of the future terrestrial church of God's own gentle ways of love and acceptance. I believe God's children will throng to this true church, for they will abundantly feel the love and light coming to them by the workings of the Holy Ghost. This is God's way, called the "manner of the workings of the Spirit."
Jesus Christ is expert in leading God's children to live loving and kindly ways. The church helps us do that if God's presence is here. Our Gods use their loving and accepting servants and ministers on earth to serve to those in need. Let us be both a people and a church on earth through whom our Heavenly Parents and Jesus Christ may act and lead their children.
I believe God's holy angels and heavenly servants who work in the terrestrial and celestial realms are consumed in service to those to whom God sends them. As mortal disciples of Christ, we should also rarely think of ourselves or our own needs in our ministrations to our fellows. In this way, we are truly acting in love, extending our reach to God's children.
When praying about this, I felt impressed that the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost wamt us to think and live for others, as they guide and direct us. A Zion society is based on selfless service and love, sharing and consideration. This heavenly culture will soon fill the earth after Zion is reestablished. In the millennium, God's people will be characterized by the great love and outpouring of service they render to all of those around them. Will you and I be numbered among God's people?
There is a commandment for us, as God's children, to love one another. However, it isn't until we drop our own selfish desires and accept and love each other as ourselves that we will be imbued with this great love for our fellowman. Actually, we cannot understand this principle until we reach outside of ourselves in selfless service and true interest. Once this starts happening, love for others instills in our heart and soul, and we then truly become God's disciples, for we act as they act, and love as they love.
I have made a promise to my God to turn my life outward for others. I will act in love and service to those around me. I will seek, with all my heart, to love my neighbor as myself!
D and I frequently wonder what would be the greatest thing we could do with our available time and money. We have thought that service to each other and those closest to us is the greatest activity we can do to occupy our mortal lives together. We need not look beyond your own immediate and extended family, friends and neighbors, for there are plenty of needs with those we each love in our circles. Personally, I want to shower love and acceptance upon each one. I want to look for ways to uplift and lighten their burdens. I want to randomly treat them or write notes to them. I would seek to listen to and play with the young ones. I want to always be accepting and non judgmental. I want to think more of the needs of my spouse, children, and grandchildren than my own current wants. I would develop loving relationships with each one. I would find interest in their interests, and do little things that I think might delight them. I want to be their best friend and support!
When I felt these confirming words in my heart and mind from God, this left me happier than before I had come to my prayer, and answered a question about service that I had thought about recently. Oh, I am so glad God came and talked to me in my mind, during my quiet meditations!"
In one of my recent prayers I saw a lake in my mind. On the shore there was the water's movement with the small rippling waves that moved in and out. Here is what I perceived God telling me which I wrote down: "Raphael, this water of this beautiful lake moves in and out, even in little waves. Here on the shoreline, the water's movement is constant. It has been this way continually, even from eternity, unless I caused a storm to erupt upon these living waters.
Likewise, our work among our beloved children is constant, and we are continually reaching out to them in love and service. We use those of our children who love us, and have demonstrated by their actions that they will be our faithful stewards, to minister as our conduits of love and light to our other children. We direct our servants continually, and help them grow by serving their own brothers and sisters. This work is continual and never ends. This effort constitutes our greatest desires and our eternal work.'
I then looked down at the in and out flow of the water on the shore of that lake. I saw next in my mind, a vast array of God's called and chosen children helping their brothers and sisters who needed guidance, direction and help. Their service was continual, all according to the overarching plan of our God in saving all of their elect and obedient sons and daughters in their great work. I felt so glad for my opportunity to help out and do my part, whether formally called or spiritually called by God, as I was directed by God! I felt so gratified for the great host of servants who faithfully obey our Heavenly Parents and Jesus Christ in their directions and great work.
I believe in the great millennial day, there will be a significantly higher level of love, tenderness, willingness to sacrifice and serve one another than has ever existed in these telestial realms on earth. This will allow Jesus Christ, the Beloved Son, to remain personally on earth and reign as king for the entire thousand years of peace and love.
People who will live in their Zion communities will freely share their own possessions and their time in service to others. They will think of others, even those not related or whom they may not know, even as themselves. From an early age, children will be taught to share and serve each other. In so doing, they will find the great satisfaction that comes in loving another. Their tender feelings will perpetuate throughout their lives. After Satan is bound, the natural man, spoken of in the scriptures, will not be present in the millennial state until the very end when Lucifer is again loosed for a little season. In this era of peace, the love of all will wax great. God's Zion societies, found in the communities and cities of the entire earth, will truly be filled with the love of God.
Moses 7: 18 "And the Lord called his people Zion, because they were of one heart (meaning that the love of God was in their hearts in abundance) and one mind (meaning they were united in purpose and beliefs), and dwelt in righteousness; and there was no poor among them".
When we come to Zion, we will live under the terrestrial law of Christ. In our new millennial world, our views of material things will first be to ensure that those around us have their needs met. We will share freely with those in want, and as the entire society of the people do this, there will be no poor among you. I believe that this will not be orchestrated by any mandate, but will come out of the goodness of our hearts. The love of God will be freely shared among all peoples. The spirit of service, love, compassion and generosity will be poured out from God upon us in abundance.
Let us keep our eye on Zion and the principles of a Zion society, and let the things and riches of our current telestial world have no negative effect on our mind and heart. Only let our riches bless others around us and meet our simple needs and wants. When I think on these thoughts, I feel very much at peace!
I believe God is so pleased when their children serve one another, and think of ways to encourage and lift each other. I have been told me by the Spirit to be very accepting and loving to all my family members, friends and neighbors. These Christian traits are how God wishes their children to interact with each other. Such love and kindness is the hallmark of Zion. In doing so, we will become united in purpose and will bring down among us the powers of heaven by our actions.
I felt to teach the today about Zion, and the principle of love and service that needs to be on our minds and in our hearts. I felt to tell of the great acceptance we all need to have for each other.
183B16-183B18, from Heavenly Mother, two weeks before the US presidential inauguration of Joe Biden: "She spoke: 'Raphael, the next few weeks will bring much change to your country. We know the hearts and minds of all people, and have chosen our elect who will keep our words and do as we say. In part because of the great division, we also know who loves darkness rather than light. This is evident now to many people, for sides have been taken, and those who knowingly choose captivity and death have been revealed.
Raphael, you have done well today in working hard on your property. You have again a sense of accomplishment which brings satisfaction and peace. We are pleased with your efforts to keep positive during the darkest day of your nation so far, even darker than previous wars. Insurrection is the worst sin against a nation. This can topple a nation faster than an outright attack by outside enemies. This is what will really destroy the United States of America. Most of your elected leaders have committed treason against their oath of office to support and defend the constitution of the United States of America. This is a grievous sin in our eyes. We inspired the creation of this constitution, and redeemed the land by the shedding of blood (D&C 101:80). More blood will be shed in order to bring back this constitutional law of the promised land, and the future terrestrial world. The constitutional form of a republic supports "that principle of freedom in maintaining rights and privileges (and) belongs to all mankind, and is justifiable before me." (D&C 98:5).'
Heavenly Mother was smiling upon me. She then pulled from her robe a brilliant gold crown with the word "UNION" emblazoned on it. She spoke to me again: 'Raphael, this is the crown I will give you when you come forth in the sky above the promised land after the five months of enemy occupation. You will place this on your brow, and will hold the flag of your fallen republic, to be given you by your Heavenly Father. You will take these emblems, plus unsheath your Sword of Raphael, and then descend with the legions of heaven to disperse the darkness and occupation in the land. This will be when we choose to reestablish the constitutional republican form of government again on the land."

Doctrine & Covenants 98:5,8
5 And that law of the land which is constitutional, supporting that principle of freedom in maintaining rights and privileges, belongs to all mankind, and is justifiable before me.
8 I, the Lord God, make you free, therefore ye are free indeed; and the law also maketh you free.
198J5-198J19, from Heavenly Father: "'Raphael, what I shared with S, my servant and captain of the guard, is true. There is a requirement to live the law of the terrestrial kingdom that all who enter this terrestrial earth will need to comply with. When our children trek to Zion and enter the terrestrial earthly realm, they will have met the requirements of this law. This includes having no wicked desires to use other people for their own gain, to allow others to choose for themselves and to promote the principles of freedom and liberty as described in the founding documents of your once great Republic. These include the Declaration of Independence, the US Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. These all protect the freedoms of each of our mortal children so they may act in the fair liberty of choice.
D&C 98: 5,8
"And that law of the land which is constitutional, supporting that principle of freedom in maintaining rights and privileges, belongs to all mankind, and is justifiable before me.
I, the Lord God, make you free, therefore ye are free indeed; and the law also maketh you free."
When our elect come into the terrestrial earth they must obey this law in all of their interactions with others. They must not use others or manipulate others, or usurp others' freedoms to choose for themselves.
In your current society and country, there are many of these freedoms that have in practice been overturned. There is now much deceit, lying, fraud, and unrighteous removal of liberty from the lives of the citizens of the land. This will not be tolerated in our terrestrial world. Were any to begin to impose coercion or unrighteous dominion upon another, or groups of others, our Beloved Son, the king over the earth, would have this corrected immediately, for this action of unrighteous behavior is not allowed in a terrestrial sphere. The "exercise (of) control or dominion or compulsion upon the souls of the children of men (and women), in any degree of unrighteousness" (see D&C 121: 37, words in parenthesis added by Heavenly Father), is not allowed in our terrestrial spheres.
The freedoms protected in the terrestrial millennial world will give all of the inhabitants on the earth a feeling of security and great safety. It will be a wonderful world in which to flourish and grow.
There will be cities in the terrestrial world where our children will live that will not be cities of Zion. Those who live in these cities will be good freedom loving men, women and children. They will flourish and grow, but may not be members of our Church of Christ if they choose not to do so. They are described in D&C 76: 75 as honorable men (and women), who receive of the presence of the Son, but not of the fulness of the Father (see D&C 76: 77). "They are not valiant in the testimony of Jesus; wherefore, they obtain not the crown over the kingdom of our God (D&C 76: 79).
Those who live in these non Zion cities are not allowed to enter into the New Jerusalem city, or other cities of Zion upon the terrestrial earth until they individually conform to the higher entry requirements of these cities. The other Zion cities are terrestrial locations, but have a higher level of unity and belief. They have all things common among them, even according to the law of consecration and stewardship. They are all members of the Church of Christ. They have all made a covenant to live these (the) higher laws of Zion that our righteous live. These include giving freely of their substance to those in need or want, and living in great love and harmony with their neighbors. They fully live their baptismal covenants as members of the Church of Christ, found in the Book of Mormon.
Mosiah 18: 8-10
"And it came to pass that he said unto them: Behold, here are the waters of Mormon (for thus were they called) and now, as ye are desirous to come into the fold of God, and to be called his people, and are willing to bear one another's burdens, that they may be light;
Yea, and are willing to mourn with those that mourn; yea, and comfort those that stand in need of comfort, and to stand as witnesses of God at all times and in all things, and in all places that ye may be in, even until death, that ye may be redeemed of God, and be numbered with those of the first resurrection, that ye may have eternal life--
Now I say unto you, if this be the desire of your hearts, what have you against being baptized in the name of the Lord, as a witness before him that ye have entered into a covenant with him, that ye will serve him and keep his commandments, that he may pour out his Spirit more abundantly upon you?"
Raphael, those who live in Zion, and come within her walls and gates, have the great desire to live this covenant of Zion, even as the people of Alma did. The scripture says when they "heard these words, they clapped their hands for joy, and exclaimed: this is the desire of our hearts." (Mosiah 18:11).
The desires of their hearts include a humble heart, an open mind, and a great willingness to serve and love their fellowman. When our grown children make this covenant of Zion, they are allowed entry into the New Jerusalem and the cities of Zion.
You may wonder why we would not allow the others who haven't made such a covenant access to Zion, even to visit. We have chosen to keep a higher standard for Zion than for the rest of the millennial world, in order to preserve the holiness of Zion and to keep in the minds of the inhabitants of Zion the great importance of their active covenant. This entry restriction in Zion will keep a higher quality of love, safety and peace among all who dwell there. They will have full assurance that all their Zion neighbors also believe and act as they do.
If there are children in Zion that wish to live in non Zion communities, they are free to depart. They will still be required to live the basic laws of the terrestrial kingdom that relate to the free liberty of choice for all, without dominion or compulsion upon any other soul.
When S (Gideon) and the guards evaluate those at Zion's gates who seek entry, they will see them as they are seen, and know them as they are known. They will see eye to eye with them, having this great discernment of God given to them, so that they may allow only the pure in heart entrance to Zion and only the holy covenant keepers within her walls.'
I now understand the great importance of having guards at the entrance of the cities of Zion. I yearn to be part of this covenant people. I want to live in the New Jerusalem.
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his beautiful revelations to me. He smiled upon me, and then departed. I closed my prayer in the name of Christ, the mighty king in Zion."

Doctrine & Covenants 98:11-14
11 And I give unto you a commandment, that ye shall forsake all evil and cleave unto all good, that ye shall live by every word which proceedeth forth out of the mouth of God.
12 For he will give unto the faithful line upon line, precept upon precept; and I will try you and prove you herewith.
13 And whoso layeth down his life in my cause, for my names sake, shall find it again, even life eternal.
14 Therefore, be not afraid of your enemies, for I have decreed in my heart, saith the Lord, that I will prove you in all things, whether you will abide in my covenant, even unto death, that you may be found worthy.
188K2-188J8, from Heavenly Father: "As I gazed upon him, he spoke to my mind: 'Raphael, you had the thought if it was helpful to drink living water often when you pray to us, here on this celestial orb. Living water from our celestial orb does bring clarity and focus to your unconscious mind if you drink it before your prayer. It is not necessary, but it can be helpful. Similarly, partaking of the fruit and the leaf of the tree of life has similar effects on your mind, and also increases the tenderness and love in your heart.
What is the most important, however, is the desire of your heart to be open and humble, and to be determined to do our will. We then may lead you along, even as fast as you are able to change and incrementally grow into the godly man we desire you to become. You progress in this way:
Isaiah 28:10
"For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little."
D&C 98:11-12
"And I give unto you a commandment, that ye shall forsake all evil and cleave unto all good, that ye shall live by every word which proceedeth forth out of the mouth of God.
For he will give unto the faithful line upon line, precept upon precept; and I will try you and prove you herewith."
Your Heavenly Mother explained to you last night that this was even how Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son, grew and eventually received a fulness of us, his Heavenly Parents. The process is called growing grace for grace. It is the same way he grew and each of our elect have grown and will grow into the celestial elect person we desire them to become.
When we give a direction or a command to our children, we watch and see what they do with our words. Some apply themselves, and work diligently in changing their attitudes and actions to fully obey our words. This stretching process, line upon line, gradually shapes them into our faithful son or daughter that we wish them to become. They are gradually perfected and changed. All of our elect who eventually become couple Gods in eternity, must needs follow this same pattern. If they are not open, or desire to stay in any of their ungodly ways, whatever these may be, instead of changing and adapting to our ways, then their general progression comes to a standstill. We work with them and encourage them to drop their old ways. However, they each need to choose and change or they may not progress into our true and faithful servants, and eventually receive a fulness. The choice of becoming celestial, and obeying all the laws and ways of living that celestial beings must do, fully rests with them.
In the end, when all the saints dwell with God (Moroni 8:26), these alone will have been willing and opened to fully change. We will have led them gradually, here a little and there a little, to become new creatures (see Mosiah 27:26), even as we are. This is our great work and effort-to encourage, lead, and prompt them gently along their path to progress and receive eventually a fulness of the power, glory, and stature of an exalted son or daughter of God. It takes great faith and tenacity, steadiness, and determination, and a willingness to change.'"

Doctrine & Covenants 98:16-17
16 Therefore, renounce war and proclaim peace, and seek diligently to turn the hearts of the children to their fathers, and the hearts of the fathers to the children;
17 And again, the hearts of the Jews unto the prophets, and the prophets unto the Jews; lest I come and smite the whole earth with a curse, and all flesh be consumed before me.
Mon, Oct 23, 2023
This is the correct approach to calamities and war in the world-- "renounce war and proclaim peace". The principles in this section constitute the laws of God regarding war, and what conditions nations should follow in finally declaring war.

Doctrine & Covenants 101:6-7
6 Behold, I say unto you, there were jarrings, and contentions, and envyings, and strifes, and lustful and covetous desires among them; therefore by these things they polluted their inheritances.
7 They were slow to hearken unto the voice of the Lord their God; therefore, the Lord their God is slow to hearken unto their prayers, to answer them in the day of their trouble.
36E6-36E12: "Here is the fifth shell that all of us need to remove: It is about our relationships we have with others, particularly with our spouses if we are married, our parents, our children and our family and friends. In none of these relationships should there be harshness, hateful feelings or disgust, anger, deception, or anything except love and understanding. This can be difficult when there may have been, in our own mind and perceptions, hostile and manipulative behavior, or self-interest on the part of the other person.
These bad feelings that we may harbor need to be released! If not, I am afraid we will spoil our inheritances as angels of God. This all reminds me of D&C 101:6-7, when the Saints in Joseph's day were chastened and afflicted because of their transgressions:
'Behold, I say unto you, there were jarrings, and contentions, and envyings, and strifes, and lustful and covetous desires among them; therefore by these things they polluted their inheritances. They were slow to hearken unto the voice of the Lord their God; therefore, the Lord their God is slow to hearken unto their prayers, to answer them in the day of their trouble.'
I have personally been greatly offended and mistreated by certain family members. I have freely forgiven them, but have chosen not to associate with them further. I am now, with my wife, trying to associate with those who respect and care for us, as we do them. I desire peaceful relationships. I stay away from those who create contention. Those who are manipulative and twist the truth, work people against my wife and I-I stay clear of now. I seek to be filled with love and peace, so that I may hear and see God, and take direction from his hand. I cannot do this if I am continually troubled with relationships that have gone sour.
It is time now for all of us to create a peaceful environment, starting with ourselves. We need to repent, forgive our friends and family, and surround ourselves in loving and caring relationships. If we have issues directly with a spouse or child, it requires building a relationship of trust, all based on love. How can we share the love of God in our angelic ministrations, when in our own home there is a lack of love and peace?
Here are two of my favorite scriptures about this topic:
Matthew 5: 43-44: 'Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you'
1 John 4:19-21: 'We love him, because he first loved us. If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.'
So this is today's shell-what we individually need to remove first from ourselves, and then with those who surround us in our everyday life: How we treat those around us, and who we allow as our most influential relationships.
I confirmed in prayer that this is the fifth shell for us to remove and/or to repair-our loving relationships."

11 Mine indignation is soon to be poured out without measure upon all nations; and this will I do when the cup of their iniquity is full.
12 And in that day all who are found upon the watch-tower, or in other words, all mine Israel, shall be saved.

Doctrine & Covenants 101:16-20
16 Therefore, let your hearts be comforted concerning Zion; for all flesh is in mine hands; be still and know that I am God.
17 Zion shall not be moved out of her place, notwithstanding her children are scattered.
18 They that remain, and are pure in heart, shall return, and come to their inheritances, they and their children, with songs of everlasting joy, to build up the waste places of Zion
19 And all these things that the prophets might be fulfilled.
20 And, behold, there is none other place appointed than that which I have appointed; neither shall there be any other place appointed than that which I have appointed, for the work of the gathering of my saints
188D2-188D13: "My Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother came from an opening in the sky above, holding hands. Their bright white light shone all around me and entered into my being. I was fully engulfed in their presence!
They both came before me and then dropped their hands. Heavenly Mother spoke: 'Raphael, what you have received from Heavenly Father last night, and what you wrote at that time in your journal is true and correct. You are our servant through whom Zion and the New Jerusalem will be redeemed on the earth. We will do so with our power and might!
At the appointed time you will be called forth by us, your Gods, along with legions of our celestial heavenly hosts, and shine forth great power and glory in the light of a thousand suns event. This will turn the tide of evil takeover on your promised land. This will be the start of the redemption of Zion.
You will then come to the flooded area of the New Jerusalem and follow our directions in creating the island land and city of the New Jerusalem. You will act as our archangel, full of our authority and power. Other celestial servants will help you as you might need them. The celestial temple will be erected by you upon the designated spot where our celestial realm will rest upon the earth. The surrounding area will soon turn into a terrestrial realm, and the foundations of Zion will be established and started!
Raphael, we will do this great work, our strange work, and our act, our strange act, with you being our chosen servant. We will choose our other celestial servants to assist, many of whom are mortal translated beings, and many who are translated and resurrected celestial beings. Our army of supportive leaders will all fulfill our every command in our great work. No unhallowed hand may stop our work!
Our mortal elect who are scattered upon the earth will then hear our voice, the voice of our Spirit, and start to make their way to Zion.
Isaiah 35:10
"And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away."
D&C 101:16-20
"Therefore, let your hearts be comforted concerning Zion; for all flesh is in mine hands; be still and know that I am God.
Zion shall not be moved out of her place, notwithstanding her children are scattered.
They that remain, and are pure in heart, shall return, and come to their inheritances, they and their children, with songs of everlasting joy, to build up the waste places of Zion-
And all these things that the prophets might be fulfilled."
D&C 45:66-71
"And it shall be called the New Jerusalem, a land of peace, a city of refuge, a place of safety for the saints of the Most High God;
And the glory of the Lord shall be there, and the terror of the Lord also shall be there, insomuch that the wicked will not come unto it, and it shall be called Zion.
And it shall come to pass among the wicked, that every man that will not take his sword against his neighbor must needs flee unto Zion for safety.
And there shall be gathered unto it out of every nation under heaven; and it shall be the only people that shall not be at war one with another.
And it shall be said among the wicked: Let us not go up to battle against Zion, for the inhabitants of Zion are terrible; wherefore we cannot stand.
And it shall come to pass that the righteous shall be gathered out from among all nations, and shall come to Zion, singing with songs of everlasting joy."
Raphael, these great events are at the doors, and will all be fulfilled! My heart thrills at the excitement of establishing the foundations of Zion through you and our other chosen servants!
Isaiah 52:7-12
"How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!
Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the Lord shall bring again Zion.
Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of (the New) Jerusalem: for the Lord hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem.
The Lord hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.
Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that hear the vessels of the Lord.
For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight: for the Lord will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your rearward." (comments in parentheses added by Heavenly Mother).'
Heavenly Mother's eyes were so bright and shining, and seemed visionary as she seemed to see the future glory of Zion! I bowed down before her and my Heavenly Father, and acknowledged their great sovereignty and power to do this great thing that would soon come forth. I then felt very enlightened with her light and strength, and then stood upon my feet on the cliff before my Heavenly Parents. I looked upon their beaming faces with great joy and gladness. Oh, how wonderful will be Zion when it comes forth upon the earth."
198E2-198E8: "I began thinking about the words in D&C 64:22-24. I looked up this scripture, and then looked in the index to Raphael and found my entry in post 158F6 where this same scripture is found. At that time, in April 2020, Heavenly Mother gave her insights to this scripture. I now understand that "today" in D&C 64:23 means the time of gathering to Zion. This is a several year period of time which has just recently begun, for the New Jerusalem has just been built up, starting on May 17, 2021. This was when the New Jerusalem island came up out of the great deep on the physical terrestrial earth.
Today, speaking after the manner of the Lord (see D&C 64:24), means the time when God's elect are physically gathered, one by one, or in small groups, to the New Jerusalem, or nearby Zion communities. During this gathering, some will be left behind, and some will be gathered to that location on the terrestrial earth.
I came this morning to the circling waters on the celestial orb. I asked for my Heavenly Mother to come to me. She appeared before me on the water and spoke:'Raphael, I gave you the correct interpretation of D&C 64:22-24 last year in your post 158F6. The further enlightenment that you received and wrote in your journal this morning is also true, and was given to you of my Spirit.
Your Father, Jesus Christ and I require the heart of our elect children. If they do not have an open heart, they will not be admitted to the land of Zion. They need to be humble and open for us to reveal to them our truths so they may transition into this new environment and way of living, even according to the laws of the terrestrial kingdom. We will not allow any who spiritually remain in Babylon to come into Zion's borders.
The condition of the hearts of our beloved children is how your Father and I have judged who are the elect. We send forth our Spirit in this period of time called "today" (speaking after the manner of the Lord, see D&C 64:24) to awaken the hearts and minds of our elect. We ultimately prompt them to come to Zion, the New Jerusalem. This is where we will physically gather our righteous elect from the ravages of Babylon in their current telestial world.
D&C 101:16-20
"Therefore, let your hearts be comforted concerning Zion; for all flesh is in mine hands; be still and know that I am God.
Zion shall not be moved out of her place, notwithstanding her children are scattered.
They that remain, and are pure in heart, shall return, and come to their inheritances, they and their children, with songs of everlasting joy, to build up the waste places of Zion--
And, behold, there is none other place appointed than that which I have appointed; neither shall there be any other place appointed than that which I have appointed, for the work of the gathering of my saints--"
Raphael, "today" has begun for the physical gathering of our elect. We will carefully lead our elect, one by one, to the New Jerusalem and to the glories of Zion.'"

Sun, Jun 30, 2024
At the seeing coming of Jesus Christ the earth and all corruptible telestial creatures, including telestial men and women, shall burn with fervent heat and die. The spirits of these men and women shall go into the telestial spirit world. Their physical bodies, along with the entire telestial physical realm of the earth, shall return to elemental matter. This will return to where it was originally taken from in the day of their creation.

Doctrine & Covenants 101:29-31
29 And there shall be no sorrow because there is no death.
30 In that day an infant shall not die until he is old; and his life shall be as the age of a tree;
31 And when he dies he shall not sleep, that is to say in the earth, but shall be changed in the twinkling of an eye, and shall be caught up, and his rest shall be glorious.
Sun, Jun 30, 2024
In the millennium, people are resurrected when they die, unless they have a mission that requires death and burial. It will be a continuation of the first resurrection.
142G10-142G21, from Heavenly Mother: "The millennial earth will no longer be suitable for our telestial creations except our own children for all will transition on her surface from a telestial state to an elevated terrestrial state. This will include all plants and animals.
However, our own children will not transition from their lower, fallen telestial state to that of a higher terrestrial state unless we individually change them. This process will include a transfiguration process done in their unconscious state by your Father and I, like you observed and wrote about on Thursday, 10-24-2019 in the evening. The remainder of our children that are not changed by us will not tolerate the changed terrestrial earth, and will perish, for we will not quicken them to a terrestrial glory.
Thus only our terrestrial elect whom the Father has chosen will be able to enter into the millennial terrestrial world. All our creations will gradually change from their telestial state to a higher terrestrial state.
Raphael, part of your change to a terrestrial mortal person is the increased clarity you experienced in your mind and thoughts. What you felt today, with clearer subtle thoughts, will increase not only in your own mind, but in those that we will change into terrestrial mortals.
They will all have better connections to their unconscious self, and the heavy veil that shrouds their own minds will significantly lessen. Were they to develop skills in meditation and quietness, they would also sense these same subtle thoughts you described this morning.
As you begin eating terrestrial foods, your mind will gradually become more and more clarified. Your physical body will also become more vibrant and healthy. You will lose the desire to eat meat, and your physical body will be able to function well without animal food sources. Until that time, the counsel we gave in the Doctrine and Covenants will still apply.
D&C 49:18:
"And whoso forbiddeth to abstain from meats, that man should not eat the same, is not ordained of God;"
D&C 89: 12-15
"Yea, flesh also of beasts and of the fowls of the air, I, the Lord, have ordained for the use of man with thanksgiving; nevertheless they are to be used sparingly;
And it is pleasing unto me that they should not be used, only in times of winter, or of cold, or famine.
All grain is ordained for the use of man and of beasts, to be the staff of life, not only for man but for the beasts of the field, and the fowls of heaven, and all wild animals that run or creep on the earth;
And these hath God made for the use of man only in times of famine and excess of hunger."
D&C 101: 30-31
"In that day an infant shall not die until he is old; and his life shall be as the age of a tree;
And when he dies he shall not sleep, that is to say in the earth, but shall be changed in the twinkling of an eye, and shall be caught up, and his rest shall be glorious."
The age of a tree means full age of men, that our son or daughter has experienced in living in their youth, teenage transition years, and mature into an adult, and then into a later mature state where their energy wanes, even until a very old age. We wish each to have these broad spectrums of life.
The phrase "being caught up" refers to their celestial resurrection, and changing their main residence from the earth to our celestial orb. They will not generally labor, or live in the world of the spirit dead.
I thanked my glorious and beautiful Heavenly mother before me! I knew all she spoke to me and what I wrote to be true."

Doctrine & Covenants 101:32-34
32 Yea, verily I say unto you, in that day when the Lord shall come, he shall reveal all things
33 Things which have passed, and hidden things which no man knew, things of the earth, by which it was made, and the purpose and the end thereof
34 Things most precious, things that are above, and things that are beneath, things that are in the earth, and upon the earth, and in heaven.
68A7-68A16, from Heavenly Father: "We have been gradually tutoring you in the ways of heaven and of the Gods, and gradually sharing with you truths from heaven. We will continue to do so as you come unto us so faithfully. We will do so for every one of our children who come unto us with diligence, with an open heart and mind, and in humility. Change and new direction is what we reveal to our elect, so that they may ultimately become even as we are.
We are pleased when you and the others who have access to your writings are able to review the truths we have shared with you. This is a great part of our revelations, when we reveal all things to the children of men, at the beginning of the millennium:
D&C 101:32-34-
"Yea, verily I say unto you, in that day when the Lord shall come, he shall reveal all things
Things which have passed, and hidden things which no man knew, things of the earth, by which it was made, and the purpose and the end thereof
Things most precious, things that are above, and things that are beneath, things that are in the earth, and upon the earth, and in heaven."
During all of the future turmoil that is coming to the earth, we will continue to pour out upon you our revelations, in a continual flow of truth from heaven! Continue to record all of these in your journals on earth. They will also be recorded in heaven. These records will be combined with others we will bring forth to constitute these great revelations we will soon share with the faithful.'
Heavenly Father stopped speaking. He then turned towards heaven above. Another very bright light started descending from the sky above, from the same place he had just come!
Soon my Heavenly Mother came before us, in resplendent light and glory! She was magnificently beautiful and shining! She was smiling broadly, and so happy it seemed! She took the left hand of Heavenly Father in her right hand and looked at him lovingly. She then turned to me and spoke:
'Raphael, today is the revealing of my person and power in the world! I will shed forth more and more my love and light to you and the faithful, as you come to us, your Heavenly Parents. It is very appropriate for our children now to call on our names together when they pray. We will gradually reveal ourselves to them, even in mortality, as they humbly come unto us in faith.
Your words you have written and will write over the years will motivate our elect children to persist in coming to us in deep prayer and meditation. Your words will be revealed when we reveal all things in this, in a day called today, in the days of the coming of your Lord, Jesus Christ:
D&C 64:23 "Behold, now it is called today, until the coming of the Son of Man."
D&C 45:6 "Hearken, O ye people of my church, and ye elders listen together, and hear my voice while it is called today, and harden not your hearts."
Today is the day of my revealing, first to you and our holy angels on the earth, and then to the elect who hear our voice and keep our commandments.
Raphael, what we reveal to you will be read and studied by the faithful in a day not far distant. We have yet much to reveal to you, as fast as you are able to receive. Flow with the pace we now share with you, and you will see greater things yet that we will show you.'
She then extended her left hand to me and I took it in my right hand. I stood and we all then elevated together into the skies above from where they came. I saw that my replicated self went with them to regions unknown, above in the skies of heaven!
Thus ended an amazing prayer this morning! I can only assume my unconscious mind was further receiving more truths and revelations from God, yet unknown to my mortal conscious mind. I do know, however, that I feel so full of peace and light within. I feel so blessed!"
123G8-123G15, from Heavenly Father: "When we have said in Ether 4:15 and 2 Nephi 27:10 that the sealed part of the Book of Mormon would reveal all things from the foundation of the world, we meant that this is a revelation of the chronology of man from his state in the Garden of Eden to the end of the millennium. This revelation spans the seven thousand years of earth's temporal existence. It will contain all things "which ever have been among the children of men, and which ever will be even unto the end of the earth." (see 2 Nephi 27:11).
Your words, however, reveal new truths never before revealed to man. Your words are not generally contained in the sealed portion of the Book of Mormon. Instead our words to you will be part of our many records coming forth that will reveal all things.
D&C 101:32-34- "Yea, verily I say unto you, in that day when the Lord shall come, he shall reveal all things-
Things which have passed, and hidden things which no man knew, things of the earth, by which it was made, and the purpose and the end thereof
Things most precious, things that are above, and things that are beneath, things that are in the earth, and upon the earth, and in heaven."
When Jesus comes, and the wicked are destroyed, then he will have your records made available to all the living on the earth. There will also be many other records with our revelations that he will bring forth. The sealed portion of the Book of Mormon will then be translated and also revealed for all to read and ponder. All things will then be revealed at the beginning of the millennium!
We are the same Gods that reveal our same truths to men and women everywhere. We command them to record their words, and their words fit in harmony with the words we have revealed to our other children to whom we have also spoken. These records from many sources will cause our elect who remain on the earth in that future day to marvel and rejoice!
You will then lock up Lucifer and his hosts so that they will no longer deceive and blind our children during the greater part of the millennium. You will only loose Satan during a little season at the end of the millennium. We will not have him disturb our truths that we will reveal to all mankind on the earth! The wicked will never read of our great truths revealed in your day.
D&C 121:28, 32- "A time to come in the which nothing shall be withheld, whether there be one God or many gods, they shall be manifest.
. . . According to that which was ordained in the midst of the Council of the Eternal God of all other gods before this world was, that should be reserved unto the finishing and the end thereof, when every man shall enter into his eternal presence and into his immortal rest." '
I thanked my Heavenly Father who was still walking next to me around God's Loving Healing Lake, for his wonderful words. I thanked him to have chosen me to have many of these truths revealed! I told him that I would be diligent in recording all he and Heavenly Mother reveal to me!"
156K2-156K16: "Heavenly Father appeared before me and asked me to walk with him! We walked along his road going north, alongside of his river.
After a moment he spoke: 'Raphael, your Heavenly Mother, Jesus Christ our Beloved Son, and I see the past, present and future as easily as you see the present moment. Speaking of this celestial orb, Joseph Smith our prophet wrote this:
D&C 130:6-7-"The angels do not reside on a planet like this earth.
But they reside in the presence of God, on a globe like a sea of glass and fire, where all things to their glory are manifest, past, present and future, and are continually before the Lord."
You reside here on our celestial orb in your replicated state, even while your mortal body lives on the earth. We have withheld from you all the past, present and future in your conscious mind, for you are still mortal. We also reveal all things to you, whether past, present or future, even according to our will. However, we who are your Gods see all past and future events, easily as we see the present.
We therefore may guide you and reveal to you things and events in your own future that you cannot see. As you come to us in prayer, we will reveal to you hidden things, as we desire.
It is our intent to show you hidden things, even before they happen. We also show you things as they really are, for there is so much disinformation, or falsehoods that you read or hear about, that it is difficult to know the truth of what is really happening in your mortal world, or what has happened in the past.
Amos 3:7-"Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets."
You are our prophet of the Church of the Firstborn, our celestial church. Through you we will manifest things to come before they come. We ask you to record our revelations in your journal to verify to the world that you are our prophet.
We also will reveal all things, according to the diligent heed and petitions of our own elect. As they inquire of us, we too will guide and direct them with revelation, giving them precious knowledge and truths. We are free with our truths that we reveal, and do not limit ourselves, but give revelation upon revelation to the humble and open who seek us.
2 Nephi 29:8-9, 11-
"Wherefore murmur ye, because that ye shall receive more of my word? Know ye not that the testimony of two nations (or individuals) is a witness unto you that I am God, that I remember one nation (or person) like unto another? Wherefore, I speak the same words unto one nation (or individual) like unto another. And when the two nations shall run together the testimony of the two nations shall run together also.
And I do this that I may prove unto many that I am the same yesterday, today, and forever; and that I speak forth my words according to mine own pleasure. And because that I have spoken one word ye need not suppose that I cannot speak another; for my work is not yet finished; neither shall it be until the end of man, neither from that time henceforth and forever. . .
For I command all men (and women), both in the east and in the west, and in the north, and in the south, and in the islands of the sea, that they shall write the words which I speak unto them; for out of the books which shall be written I will judge the world, every man according to their works, according to that which is written." (words in parenthesis added by Heavenly Father).
Raphael, it is time for those who support you, and all our mortal angels and celestial servants on the earth, and even all of our elect, to record their own revelations that we give to them. We also want them to write the events of these times they live in, for their benefit and for those of future generations.
Your Heavenly Mother, Jesus Christ and I are free with our truths and revelations, and we will share these with all people who humbly and openly seek us in the energy of their soul. Our words will be congruent and a witness of each other's revelations.
You are the head at this time, and we will continue to share with you in particular, the events and issues that are secret and hidden. Your record will reveal things never yet revealed to man:
D&C 101:32-34-
"Yea, verily I say unto you, in that day when the Lord shall come, he shall reveal all things
Things which have passed, and hidden things which no man knew, things of the earth, by which it was made, and the purpose and the end thereof
Things most precious, things that are above, and things that are beneath, things that are in the earth, and upon the earth, and in heaven."
It is good that those on your small email list share with you our choice revelations and experiences that we have shared with them. Continue to share these in your posts, as they give you their permission. These other records are our second witnesses to your words, and should be compiled in part in one record, particularly now that these tribulations are intensifying. These records and posts will buoy you all up and strengthen each of you while you live through these calamities coming to the earth. They will also buoy and strengthen the faith of future generations."

63 Again, verily I say unto you, I will show unto you wisdom in me concerning all the churches, inasmuch as they are willing to be guided in a right and proper way for their salvation
64 That the work of the gathering together of my saints may continue, that I may build them up unto my name upon holy places; for the time of harvest is come, and my word must needs be fulfilled.
65 Therefore, I must gather together my people, according to the parable of the wheat and the tares, that the wheat may be secured in the garners to possess eternal life, and be crowned with celestial glory, when I shall come in the kingdom of my Father to reward every man according as his work shall be;
66 While the tares shall be bound in bundles, and their bands made strong, that they may be burned with unquenchable fire.
88H1-88H8: "I came this morning to the overlook from the edge of the fir forest, looking over Heavenly Father's wheat field below me to the east. I could see that the wheat was tall and still green. I looked around and didn't perceive my Heavenly Father or my Heavenly Mother. I knelt at the overlook facing the wheat field. I then asked that my Heavenly Father come or one of them come to me in answer to my prayer. I then saw both Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother on the dirt road just north of the field of wheat below me. They were both inspecting their wheat. They seemed very involved in what they were doing.
Heavenly Mother then looked up and saw me. She came to me in the air and when she arrived she smiled at me! She extended her hand. I stood and took her hand, and we both came down to my Father on the dirt road. He was examining his wheat-he had bent a few stalks next to the road to look at the wheat. When we came, he let go of the wheat and turned to us on the road.
Heavenly Father then spoke to me:
'Raphael, we are glad that you came here to my wheat field this morning! These stalks of grain represent just some of our millennial elect who have already been born into mortality. They have grown rapidly and are yet green, for they haven't yet matured to their full growth and stature. However, in not many years they will be already to harvest!
I have been watching for tares among these elect and have found none. This is the first time in this eternity that the weeds haven't grown along the sides of my new wheat! These grains will develop soon and represent our millennial elect. These will be able to enter into the peaceful millennial day! The tares of their parent generation that are mixed with wheat are many and are already encumbering the earth. These tares will be burned with fire. However, these young and tender wheat plants are still immature. They will be spared the fires, for our angels and servants will protect them from the ravages coming on the earth so that they survive these last days' calamities.'
I then thought of the parable of the wheat and tares.
I first read D&C 101:63-66
"Again, verily I say unto you, I will show unto you wisdom in me concerning all the churches, inasmuch as they are willing to be guided in a right and proper way for their salvation-
That the work of the gathering together of my saints may continue, that I may build them up unto my name upon holy places; for the time of harvest is come, and my word must be fulfilled.
Therefore, I must gather together my people, according to the parable of the wheat and the tares, that the wheat may be secured in the garners to possess eternal life, and be crowned with celestial glory, when I shall come in the kingdom of my Father to reward every man according as his work shall be;
While the tares shall be bound in bundles, and their bands made strong, that they may be burned with unquenchable fire."
I then asked my Father about this parable of the wheat and tares, found in these verses and also in D&C 86 and Matthew 13:24-30. I asked if this green and tender wheat in his field was this same wheat?
Heavenly Father responded:
'No Raphael, this miniature wheat has been born into the families of the earth, and are yet babies and small innocent children. Their parents on earth are those described in the parable of the wheat and tares. Many of them will be gathered also into the garners to possess eternal life, but all of the new green wheat will be gathered into the garners. These young and innocent wheat plants are now on the earth and will become the first generation to bring forth the families of the earth in the millennial day of peace and rest.
Their parents are now embroiled in a society and culture on your earth that is in great turmoil. The tares are yet at large, to seek to dissuade them from coming unto us, their Gods, and be fully gathered into our garners, protected by our holy angels and are guided also into the millennial days ahead.
Soon the wheat will all be gathered and protected by our angels and other servants. They will come to holy and safe places for protection. Then will the tares be bound together in bundles and be burned, even with the fire of the indignation of God:
D&C 86:7
"Therefore, let the wheat and the tares grow together until the harvest is fully ripe; then ye shall first gather out the wheat from among the tares, and after the gathering of the wheat, behold and lo, the tares are bound in bundles, and the field remaineth to be burned."
Matthew 13:40
"As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world."
Revelation 18:8
"Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her."
Raphael, the holy places where our faithful who come unto us their God will be gathered are the safe garners we will provide. Mostly, these will be spiritual places of protection for our elect. Our angels will be fully involved as we direct them to protect our elect by our supernatural powers! Other servants will also be involved. It will be a day of reckoning for our elect, for they need to come unto us so that we may spiritually protect them from the turmoil coming on the earth! Some we will guide to physical places of protection also, but all those that we have chosen will be spiritually gathered into our garners.'
I thanked my Father for his descriptions of the way these scriptures will be fulfilled. I was also so glad to see this new green field of millennial wheat, or the new young elect. I know all of these elect will have such an amazing place to live in once the wicked are destroyed by fire and Jesus comes again to establish a very peaceful world!
My Heavenly Parents then turned from me and went back to inspecting and caring for their new green wheat. I could tell they loved these choice sons and daughters very much!"
32B1-32B9: "Last night after my prayer, I lay in bed, thinking for some time of my Father out in the field, with his sickle, harvesting the wheat, or the souls of the elect. This morning when I awoke, I thought again of the experience I had. Then I suddenly realized that Heavenly Father had finished the harvest last night, or early this morning, and the field was all reaped! I was able, in my transfigured body, to return to that same field: There was not a blade of wheat left, for it was all stubble! Heavenly Father was gone. I couldn't find one grain of wheat on that entire field. He had apparently gathered each grain into his garners for safekeeping.
I then knelt on that harvested field, and got ready to address my Father in prayer. I selected a spot on the field where I had seen my Father last, reaping the wheat with his sickle. As I knelt, I saw the sharp sickle leaning up against a tree by the edge of the field. I got up off my knees, and went over to the sickle and picked it up. It seemed to be made of fine steel, and was very sharp.
I then thought of two scriptures. The first is found in Matthew 3:12, which was spoken by John, the Baptist, speaking of Jesus who was among the people, who was mightier than himself:
'Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.'
I knew that would happen to the tares of the earth, and the chaff which remained after the wheat was gathered into the safe garners.
I next thought of the scripture in Revelation 14:14, where Jesus, who sat on the cloud, had a sharp sickle. He was told by an angel to 'thrust in thy sharp sickle and reap, for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe. And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.' (see also verses 15-17).
I then felt that the sickle that I was holding was the same sickle that Jesus Christ used to reap the earth on Monday, October 3rd, 2016, when I saw him on the cloud on Mount Zion, at the mouth of the Provo Canyon!
As I was standing there, holding the sickle and thinking, Michael, the archangel, appeared. He came as I saw him last, with his scarlet red cape. He spoke:
'Raphael, this is also the same sickle that I also used, after Jesus Christ used it to reap the earth. I used it to gather the vine of the earth, and to cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.' (see Revelation 14:18-20)
I then turned and placed the sharp sickle back by the tree, leaning against the tree as I had found it.
I turned around and Michael had gone, and before me was my Heavenly Father in glorious white robes! I was standing, facing him. He spoke:
'Raphael, the time of spiritual harvest is now completed. The scripture in D&C 101:64-65 is now fulfilled in part, that which reads: 'Therefore, I must gather together my people, according to the parable of the wheat and the tares, that the wheat may be secured in the garners to posses eternal life.'.
The wheat you saw me harvesting last night in your prayer, is now spiritually gathered into my garners. I will next come out in fury upon the wicked in my vengeance, when I will.
You have been faithful. Prepare for that day by continuing to help the mortal angels to learn the skill of teleporting-for this will be needed in the days ahead as they go forth to serve me, in great ability and with strength.'
He then drew me close and we embraced! I saw, I think, a tear in his eye. It was a tear for what he was about to do on the earth, for those, his children, who had strayed from him, and not hearkened to his still, small voice."
134E1-134E24: "I read last night after my evening prayer about the three Nephites. I read accounts of these men helping people in distressful situations. They always came and went in secrecy, in their stories , not usually giving their names, and disappearing from view when they were done in their service. I believe these were translated to a terrestrial level, without the power to replicate. When they depart beyond the terrestrial veil, they are no longer in the telestial realm, where we mortals now live, but they are hidden from view in the terrestrial realm. From the accounts I read, their mission seems to be one of service to the righteous ones in need of the earth.
Anyway, today I came to the celestial orb again, this time to the overlook on Heavenly Father's wheat field, and the fallen oak tree. As I looked over the wheat field I saw a man working in the field. He was weeding the tares out of the field it seemed, and placing them in a cloth bag strewn across his body. As he would fill up the bag he took it to the road and dumped these tares in a large pile. See my post 107H6.
When he got to the road, he looked up at me and asked me to come next to him. I knew he was my Heavenly Father! I stood and traveled in the air to him on the road. There were several large dumps of the tare weeds in piles on the road.
Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, in order to keep our elect growing in my field, I regularly need to weed the tares from among them. I pull them up from the field and also cut them with my sickle, and bring them here on the road north of my field. I will have my angels then come and bind these in bundles, even according to the parable of the wheat and tares:
D&C 101:65 "While the tares shall be bound in bundles, and their bands made strong, that they may be burned with unquenchable fire.
There are still yet small tares in the field that remain, that too will grow up in sin and become large weeds. After we finally gather the wheat out from my fields, and secure them in my garners, the field with those remaining tares will be burned with fire. The tares on the road which will then be bound in bundles shall also be burned in this same fire. I have these tares on the road bound in bundles so that I still have access on my road, also it would be too encumbered with tares everywhere, making travel on the road difficult. After binding the tares in bundles, I will have the angels stack these bundles on the sides of my road closest to the wheat field.
D&C 101:64-65-"That the work of the gathering together of my saints may continue, that I may build them up unto my name upon holy places; for the time of harvest is come, and my word must needs be fulfilled.
Therefore, I must gather together my people, according to the parable of the wheat and the tares, that the wheat may be secured in the garners to possess eternal life, and be crowned with celestial glory, when I shall come in the kingdom of my Father to reward every man according as his work shall be;"
Raphael, I watch over my faithful ones, who are represented in this field as wheat. These will be gathered even to safe places on earth and in the clouds of heaven at the second coming of Jesus Christ. When he descends and burns the tares in the fire of his presence. Prior to this, the wheat will be gathered and placed in safe garners on the earth. These are protected places that temporarily house my elect during the times when calamities of all varieties sweep the earth and destroy the wicked. The garners may include one house here and another one there, or places of refuge where more of my wheat will be gathered in groups. In all cases, I will watch over my elect, and angels will protect them in their places of safety.
Raphael, you wondered about my three disciples that were translated to a terrestrial glory when Jesus Christ came among the Nephites. (see 3 Nephi 28:6-10). These are still abroad in the land, and serve my elect in secret. Some of the accounts you read about last night were true stories of them serving our elect. They will join the 144,000 who are now starting to be translated, to also serve the elect, even as the three Nephite disciples. They are all subject to the directions of Jesus Christ whom they serve. They will help in the great work of gathering my elect to safe garners around the earth. This will be in the day of coming days of increased tribulations. When the time comes, they will also gather those elect to the New Jerusalem, to the Church of the Firstborn (see D&C 77:11).'
I looked up at Heavenly Father, and gazed into his eternity. eyes-so strong and showing me how capable he was of fulfilling all of his words. I knew he spoke the truth. I also knew what I had written was true and acceptable to him.
I then thanked him for this vision at his wheat field this morning. I then reached down and touched one of the tares in the closest weed pile. It was limp and had no spiritual life, or recognition of things spiritual. I brought this weed before me and thought I saw an individual in this plant in his real life on earth! It was only a quick glimpse, but enough for me to know this was a man who was living in sin, and feigned to be righteous. He attended church every week, and considered himself an active member of the LDS church. He had no companionship of the Spirit in his life, for he did his own pleasure and did not follow the still small voice of God. It appeared to me that his desires were to get gain and pleasure in the world, and to satisfy his natural man desires within him that seemed very strong and dominant in his life.
I set this weed plant back on the stacked tares that Heavenly Father had removed from his wheat field.
Heavenly Father then spoke again: 'Raphael, each of these tares represent a person on earth who tries to show to others he or she is upright and religious, like the wheat. They may appear to most as wheat, but they inwardly reject me and the Spirit of God that I send to them. I have temporarily judged them, and plucked them out of my wheat field, for they will not listen to my Spirit now in any way, even after I have tried to reach them over these many years. Now, at the time soon at hand when I will harvest my wheat field, they encumber the wheat and need to be removed in these piles.'
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his words and explanation to me. I felt to yearn after these many tares in these piles of weeds on the road, for I know each represented a person judged of God! I knew that Heavenly Father was fully justified, and had to clear his field of these religious imposters. I felt relieved that I didn't have to make any judgments of any of these tares, but to just accept and love all people, even if they were tares, even as Heavenly Mother taught me last night."
141D2, from S: "10-14-19
I read more about the wheat and tares today. In D&C 86 and 101 it talks about wheat and tares. In D&C it says wheat is gathered first. In Luke, it says the tares are gathered first. I focused on the D&C 101 where the wheat is secured in the garners. This preserves them from storms, animals, and pests that would damage or destroy them. I was impressed by the spirit that the wheat being "secured in the garners" was a reference to the elect being raised to a Terrestrial level. Once secured in the garners (or raised to a Terrestrial level), the elect won't be in danger of the many things that could damage or destroy them.
D&C 101: 65 "Therefore, I must gather together my people, according to the parable of the wheat and the tares, that the wheat may be secured in the garners to possess eternal life, and be crowned with celestial glory, when I shall come in the kingdom of my Father to reward every man according as his work shall be.."
In prayer, I called upon my Heavenly Parents. I was directed to Lake Beautiful. Heavenly Father was there at the side of the lake. He picked up a rock and threw it so it skipped across the water. I noted that the water was very still except for the rock that skipped across it. I wondered what the still water meant for I have seen the water lap on the shoreline in small waves and I have seen larger waves and strong winds too. Heavenly Father spoke to me, "This calm water represents the calm stillness before a storm. There may be a calm stillness on the ocean for many days with no approaching storm. However, when a great storm comes such as a tsunami, there is a profound stillness and quiet that precedes its coming. You have been shown much of what is coming to your nation. However there are great storms coming that will impact every nation and people upon the earth. In the parable of the wheat and tares, Joseph Smith recorded angels ready to harvest the field and burn the wicked almost 200 years ago. The time is now very near, even at the door. Be at peace and calm as you sense what is soon to come. You questioned the discrepancy of the wheat and tares in Luke and D&C. In this writing the bible was translated inaccurately and the wheat will be gathered first as described in D&C and not the tares as recorded in the bible. Once the wheat is gathered to safety and securely preserved, next the angels will reap down the fields. D&C 86:5. He continued, "Enjoy this upcoming trip and time with your family," then He disappeared before me and I closed my prayer.
D&C 86: 5 Behold, verily I say unto you, the angels are crying unto the Lord day and night, who are ready and waiting to be sent forth to reap down the fields..
D&C 86: 7 Therefore, let the wheat and the tares grow together until the harvest is fully ripe; then ye shall first gather out the wheat from among the tares, and after the gathering of the wheat, behold and lo, the tares are bound in bundles, and the field remaineth to be burned.
Have a blessed day,
S"
199H7-199H9, from Heavenly Father: " Our elect who pray for guidance and instruction from us, their Gods, need to be open and seek to act on what we may whisper to them. Our voice will pierce their soul as they seek us. They will be assured that it is us, their Gods, who do lead them and speak to their inward soul. Those who are full of faith, will act on our directions. Those who are afraid of the pressures of their society and of Babylon, the world, will not have strength to follow our voice of the Spirit.
These times will separate the wheat from the tares. The wheat will eventually be gathered "and secured in the garners (even to the New Jerusalem) to possess eternal life." (see D&C 101: 65, words in parenthesis from Heavenly Father).
Raphael, continue to seek the face of your Heavenly Mother and I in your morning and evening prayers. We will continue to give you revelation and guidance, and send forth our truths, even never revealed before to man.'"
Sat, Apr 27, 2024
Note that the wheat is first secured in the garners to possess eternal life. The tares are then bound in bundles (gathered to cities of the wicked) where they are burned.
For the elect, these safe garners are when God moves them from the increasingly wicked telestial mortal world into a protected terrestrial mortal world. There will be more and more terrestrial areas of safety where the righteous may find refuge and peace from the world.
197C5, from Heavenly Mother: "Your Father and I knew that these destructions would soon come in your land. We have prepared a place of refuge where the wicked cannot come, even the New Jerusalem. To arrive there, our faithful will need to enter into the terrestrial physical earth. We will allow only our chosen elect to come, and will prepare them, our pure and holy people, for Zion and the experiences they will have. Soon the migration to the New Jerusalem from the telestial mortal earth [that will be in the process of being destroyed] will greatly increase. We are still having the hearts and minds of our mortal elect softened during their nightly instructions while their bodies sleep. They need to become more open and accepting of our guidance in their lives. When they do, we will inspire them to come to Zion, the New Jerusalem [and to terrestrial places of refuge]. This will become the only place of peace and safety from their turbulent world."
See also additional details in my notes in D&C 45:70.

Doctrine & Covenants 101:77-80
77 According to the laws and constitution of the people, which I have suffered to be established, and should be maintained for the rights and protection of all flesh, according to just and holy principles;
78 That every man may act in doctrine and principle pertaining to futurity, according to the moral agency which I have given unto him, that every man may be accountable for his own sins in the day of judgment.
79 Therefore, it is not right that any man should be in bondage one to another.
80 And for this purpose have I established the Constitution of this land, by the hands of wise men whom I raised up unto this very purpose, and redeemed the land by the shedding of blood.
179H4-179H8: "Heavenly Mother spoke: 'Raphael, your Father and I will be more and more at the side of our faithful elect without them perceiving our presence. We will increase our direction and influence in their lives gradually, without most of them perceiving our increased presence. They will have their minds trying to negotiate the many changes and the tribulations around them.
Your Father and I have inspired the constitutional law of your nation, even as spoken to Joseph Smith by our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ:
D&C 101:77-80
"According to the laws and constitution of the people, which I have suffered to be established, and should be maintained for the rights and protection of all flesh (even in the great millennial era), according to just and holy principles;
That every man (and woman) may act in doctrine and principle pertaining to futurity, according to the moral agency which I have given unto him (them), that every man (and woman) may be accountable for his (/her) own sins in the day of judgment.
Therefore, it is not right that any man (or woman) should be in bondage one to another.
And for this purpose have I established the Constitution of this land, by the hands of wise men whom I raised up unto this very purpose, and redeemed the land by the shedding of blood." (words in parentheses from Heavenly Mother).
You wondered last night as you retired to bed how Jesus Christ could rule and reign over the entire earth during the millennium, and yet have a constitutional republic be the government in all lands where our people will dwell. There will still be local nations and states within those nations that have constitutional principles and governments. Jesus Christ will be the king over all the nations, and rule and reign with great equity and instill lasting peace among all of these nations. All of these nations will live in great harmony and respect, one for another. There will be free exchange and support between them, and free travel, for none will seek to gain power or advantage over another. This will also be true in local states and municipalities within the nations. Were there to be any squabbles or injustices, they can be addressed through the constitutional form of government within each nation, and overseen by Jesus Christ, the king over all the earth.
Again, your constitutional republic, established in 1776 and redeemed in the Revolutionary War by the shedding of blood, is meant for all peoples of all nations, even into the terrestrial world that is soon coming to the earth.'"

183C1-183C14: "I received an email this morning from S. He related to me words from our Heavenly Parents about the coming destruction upon the land, and another witness of the truth of the event of a thousand suns. In his vision, Heavenly Father spoke to him that the fabric of our society will tear before his very eyes. Heavenly Father then used the experience of the veil of the temple being rent in twain from the top to the bottom, as similar to what would happen to our land: "The land will be torn asunder as was the veil of the temple anciently. We will cut your nation off at its knees that it may no longer seek darkness and serve the evil one." (see S's email at the end of my entry this morning). He just now sent me another email I will also include, about being an idle witness.
I was thinking over these things and searched on my LDS scripture app and found this quote from Joseph Smith when I searched "constitution hanging by a thread": "In Nauvoo in 1840, Joseph Smith publicly preached "Even the Nation will be on the very verge of crumbling to pieces and tumbling to the ground and when the constitution is upon the brink of ruin this people will be the staff up[on] which the Nation shall lean, and they shall bear the constitution away from the very verge of destruction". In 1843 Smith spoke "upon the constitution and government of the United States stating that the time would come when the constitution and government would hang by a brittle thread and would be ready to fall into other hands but this people the Latter-day Saints will step forth and save it." (Martha Jane Coray Notebook, n.d.CHL, July 19, 1840; James Burgess, Journal, Oct 1841-Dec1848, vol 2, CHL, May 1843).
I came to the desert oasis again this morning and knelt by the bench in the sand. I prayed and my Heavenly Father appeared to me.
He spoke immediately: 'Raphael, we directed S to share what we both told him in vision about the fabric of your nation to be rent in the near future. This is the great division that is now upon your nation and people.
As part of this great tearing apart, the US Constitution will hang by a thread, a brittle thread, and seem only to be a remembrance among the divided people. However, you, S, S.A. and many others like you who are mortal angels and mortal celestial servants in the flesh, will restore the glorious constitution from utter ruin and forgetfulness! I will give you a brilliant celestial flag of the United States of America as it appears today, immediately after your Heavenly Mother gives you the crown with the word "UNION" emblazoned on it. This celestial stars and stripes flag will shine in celestial brilliance, in the bright colors of red, white and blue. It represents the destroyed nation of the United States of America which had been overcome primarily from insurrection from within by its citizens and leaders. This majestic flag is also a symbol of freedom for all peoples. It finally represents the inspired Constitution of your Republic that we, your Gods, established at "the hands of wise men whom (we) raised up unto this very purpose, and redeemed the land by the shedding of blood." (D&C 101:80). This constitution will hang by a brittle thread, and almost be forgotten, even by our elect, when you and the celestial legions of heaven descend to restore it to the land, our promised land. You who are mortal, who restore this constitution again on the land, will still be citizens of a destroyed nation, and still be our Saints of a fallen Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. You will thereby fulfill the prophecy of Joseph Smith, our prophet of the restoration, concerning the constitution hanging by a thread, and it being saved.'
Heavenly Father then looked up and I did also, even into the celestial sky. A bright light then descended before us, glistening with the colors of red, white and blue. A glorious large glistening flag on a staff was blowing in the wind, even the flag of the United States Of America! I burst into tears and could hardly contain my emotions!
Heavenly Father then grasped the staff upon which the celestial flag was attached, and held it above his head as it blew majestically in the wind.
He spoke again: 'Raphael, after you receive the gold crown from your Heavenly Mother, and place it upon your brow, then I will hand you this glorious flag that I have crafted. The crown will be made by your Heavenly Mother. You will then place this staff of the flag in your left hand, raise your Sword of Raphael in your right hand, and descend in our great power with the legions of heaven! You will descend from the sky even as you saw this glorious flag descend from above us in this celestial sky.
When you and your group touch the promised land, you will implant this staff of the "Banner of the Republic" upon the promised land. This flag will remain here for the entire millennium, in celestial glory for the celestial elect to visit and remember. The location will be in the same celestial forest next to the New Jerusalem temple that will be soon constructed. This is the celestial forest from which the resources for our New Jerusalem temple will be beautified. There is a bare hill in that celestial forest upon which this staff and banner of the flag of your Republic will be implanted.
When you and our celestial hosts descend together to the promised land, many mortals in the land will see you coming in the skies. This event will either be a terror to them (to the armies and the wicked in the land) or provide a great sense of encouragement to our righteous elect.
After you implant the staff of the Banner of the Republic, you will then remove your gold crown with the words "UNION" emblazoned on it. Lay the crown at the base of the staff, and then kneel with your heavenly hosts on the promised land. Offer aloud a prayer to turn the battle and disperse the darkness from the land. We will hear your combined prayer and cleanse the land of the invading armies and the wicked who remain.
At that juncture in time, Zion, the New Jerusalem, may be started. You will soon come to the flooded area where the island of the New Jerusalem will be created.'
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his remarkable revelation to me this morning! I was very filled with the Spirit, and had a hard time containing my emotion. I prostrated myself on the sand and cried and cried for joy.
When I gained my composure, I raised myself and found that Heavenly Father and the Banner of the Republic were gone. I thanked my Father again and closed my prayer in the name of Jesus Christ."

Last night I attended the Freedom Festival Fireside, with Elder Matthew Holland who was the keynote speaker. He strongly encouraged that each of us in the audience pray to God that he preserve the freedoms in this land of America. I know that he will, for I participated in the Light of a Thousand Suns event in May, 2021. Our US Constitution will be renewed as the law of the land, with Jesus Christ being the king over all the earth during the great millennium.

Doctrine & Covenants 101:81-86
81 Now, unto what shall I liken the children of Zion? I will liken them unto the parable of the woman and the unjust judge, for men ought always to pray and not to faint, which saith
82 There was in a city a judge which feared not God, neither regarded man.
83 And there was a widow in that city, and she came unto him, saying: Avenge me of mine adversary.
84 And he would not for a while, but afterward he said within himself: Though I fear not God, nor regard man, yet because this widow troubleth me I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
85 Thus will I liken the children of Zion.
86 Let them importune at the feet of the judge;
83F7-83F15: "Tonight I prepared for my evening prayer. I came to the maple tree grove near the Great Assembly Hall. I came near to the western shore of Lake Beautiful I knelt down and scooped some water and drank. I looked over the lake and saw a light far away, from the shore. I looked with more intent and saw the light grow larger and larger. Pretty soon both my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother were standing above the water in front of me! I gazed into Heavenly Father's eyes-they seemed so settle and assured, full of strength and capacity. There were very soft and accepting of me just how I am!
Next, I gazed into Heavenly Mother's eyes. They were very alive and happy, so loving! I love her large smile she gave me again tonight!
Heavenly Father wanted me to write his words:
'Raphael, your Heavenly Mother and I knew you would ask us to come to you tonight in your prayer. You are very consistent in coming to us so regularly. Your long habit of approaching us in prayer gave us confidence you wanted us to come again tonight.
3 1/2 years ago, at the beginning of 2015, you decided to wait for us to come to you before you tried to connect to us in prayer. You were steady and consistent, never varying in your purpose of waiting for us to come. This is a very good way for our children to have us come. If they importune before us, as have you, we will soon come to them, and reveal ourselves to them. This persistent, importuning is what the widow did in the parable of the unjust judge:
Luke 18:1-8-
"And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;
Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:
And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.
And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.
And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?
I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?"
D&C 101:81-84-
"Now, unto what shall I liken the children of Zion? I will liken them unto the parable of the woman and the unjust judge, for men ought always to pray and not to faint, which saith
There was in a city a judge which feared not God, neither regarded man.
And there was a widow in that city, and she came unto him, saying: Avenge me of mine adversary.
And he would not for a while, but afterward he said within himself: Though I fear not God, nor regard man, yet because this widow troubleth me I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me."
We are the Gods of the earth and of our children on the earth, and if our children petition us and importune us in mighty prayer, we will hear them and answer their pleadings.
Finally, when you started prayer 3 1/2 years ago, you had no idea how we would come to you, or in what way we would answer your prayers. You were taught in your unconscious mind, and you had to develop an ability to feel and hear that part of your mind in your conscious mind. We helped you perceive our voice in your unconscious state, in the spiritual realms. You gradually began to see and feel these very slight and almost imperceptible words that we spoke to you. You became more adept until now our words flow to you freely, all still spoken to your unconscious mind and perceived in your conscious mortal mind. The veil of forgetfulness is thinner in your prayers as you approach us in your meditative and pondering states. This is a vital key to being able to hear our words.'
Heavenly Mother then spoke:
'Raphael, your Father and I have talked to you in the last few prayers about how to pray and connect to us. Each of our children needs to do this on their own-it cannot be learned except in person. They also do not know whereof you speak or explain the way to pray except that they experience this themselves.
1 Corinthians 2:14
"But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned."
Every one needs to put in the time and effort to connect to us if they desire to know our will for themselves. As they persist, being open and humble, we will open their hearts and minds to us so that they may hear our words.'
I understood all that Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother said to me, for it is clear to my mind and heart. This same understanding will be given to all the faithful as they put forth the effort."

We need to importune to the unjust judge (judge, governor, president). Then the Lord will come out of his hiding place and avenge us of our prayers.

Doctrine & Covenants 101:89-94
89 And if the president heed them not, then will the Lord arise and come forth out of his hiding place, and in his fury vex the nation;
90 And in his hot displeasure, and in his fierce anger, in his time, will cut off those wicked, unfaithful, and unjust stewards, and appoint them their portion among hypocrites, and unbelievers;
91 Even in outer darkness, where there is weeping, and wailing, and gnashing of teeth.
92 Pray ye, therefore, that their ears may be opened unto your cries, that I may be merciful unto them, that these things may not come upon them.
93 What I have said unto you must needs be, that all men may be left without excuse;
94 That wise men and rulers may hear and know that which they have never considered;
Sun, Jun 30, 2024
The Lord will avenge us if we importune our leaders.
63F6-63F17: "I then saw all three come from the distant pit of rocks into which the river representing Jesus Christ disappeared in the distance. They all three were soon before me, Heavenly Father in the middle, Jesus on his right and Heavenly Mother on his left.
I gazed into their faces and saw firmness and even disgust and anger. There were no smiles today! I felt very humbled and weak even, and prostrated myself before them.
Heavenly Mother then spoke:
'Raphael, stand before us!'
I stood and looked on her. She was firm in her visage. I knew she wasn't upset at me, but had a stern message to give to me for others.
She spoke again:
'Raphael, we are disgusted with our elect children on the earth! Most won't let us even commune with them anymore, since they follow the whisperings of Satan. They don't take time to be still and quiet, so that they could perceive us, but rush about doing unimportant activities. Many are lulled away in carnal security as the scriptures state (see 2 Nephi 28:21). Even the leaders of our church that we have rejected are promoting many doctrines and patterns that don't bring our needy children to us.
You see also that our capes are blowing in the wind of change. We cannot reach our children by enticing them with soft words and gentleness. Many of our elect are also not awakened, and are asleep spiritually. We therefore will come out of our hiding place to vex the nations of the earth (D&C 101:89-92). We have waited as long as we can! We hope that during their distress our elect will finally turn to us so that we may rescue them!
Come now with us to the rocky pit where we have come from, to this place before you.'
I came between Heavenly Father on my left and Heavenly Mother on my right. They turned and we all four headed to the rocky pit where the river was crashing into.
Heavenly Mother spoke:
'Let's go now into this pit. This is symbolic of the world in which you now live. As we descend, look around at the souls all around us who don't know they are in Satan's grasp and don't know the awfulness of their situation.'
We went into the rocky pit. I began seeing people's faces, completely void of knowing they were in sin and living apart from God. They looked like they were busy, but there was a gnaw of dissatisfaction deep in their souls. They seemed happy but it was more enjoyment in carnal security, not in feeling connected with their own self or with God. I also saw many devils around these people in the pit. The minions of Satan were having great success in persuading them to do their bidding, leading them carefully down to hell!
I saw great varieties of situations and feelings in these people's faces all around me. However, none were trying to be holy, but had a more cultural and social obligation to act with decorum. Inwardly they were selfish and sought pleasure.
Heavenly Mother spoke:
'Raphael, all these you see are the elect of God who haven't yet awoken to the awfulness of their situations. We have sent our messengers to many of these, but they prefer to still listen to the evil one and the sophistries of the devil. Oh, we yearn after them!
We will soon send distress to them in hopes of awakening them. We love these, but they won't turn to us without the calamities that are coming soon that will come in our own time and our own way.
Raphael, you have been faithful, as have our angels and other servants in the spiritual realms. Prepare yourself for more service to these as we allow difficulties to come into their lives.'
I then was immediately kneeling by my bed! The vision was over. I felt to write all of this down. I have now adequately conveyed the vision in my journal. I pray for these elect of God to respond to God's efforts in saving them from their awful situation!"
96D5-96D7, from Heavenly Father: "Raphael, were we to ask you to speak out among the people, and tell them that they needed to repent or more calamities would come upon them, they would similarly reject you, as they rejected our servant Samuel. You also have a commission that we need to keep in secret from the people at this time.
Therefore, we are having you record our words that will one day be published among all the people. We also are speaking individually to them clearly, asking them to repent before destruction comes upon them. However, most will not listen at this time.
Therefore, we need to come out of our hiding place and vex the nations!
D&C 101:89-90, 92-93
". . . then will the Lord arise and come forth out of his hiding place, and in his fury vex the nation
And in his hot displeasure, and in his fierce anger, in his time, will cut off those wicked, unfaithful, and unjust stewards, and appoint them their portion among hypocrites, and unbelievers.
Pray ye, therefore, that their ears may be opened unto your cries, that I may be merciful unto them, that these things may not come upon them.
What I have said unto you must needs be, that all men may be left without excuse."
This scripture was given in a different context, but it applies to your situation today, even among the Latter-day Saints in your area in Utah and surrounding states.'
I looked upon my Heavenly Father. He was looking off in the distance behind me. I think he was seeing these future events of destruction coming upon the people. His visage changed to disgust. I watched then as he turned and walked back around the path around the desert oasis. He then vanished."

93 What I have said unto you must needs be, that all men may be left without excuse;
94 That wise men and rulers may hear and know that which they have never considered;
95 That I may proceed to bring to pass my act, my strange act, and perform my work, my strange work, that men may discern between the righteous and the wicked, saith your God.
184D2-184D6, from Heavenly Mother: "She spoke to me: 'Raphael, be patient and drop again all your expectations of what might occur in Washington DC today, inauguration day for the new President, or in the future. These are anxious times for many of our faithful who have seen now the full corruptness of those who seek to gain power in your nation's capital, by any means possible. They have clearly taken a side for all the world to witness, and there are so few elected and appointed leaders who have resisted evil and the takeover of your nation. In our own timing, we will come out of our hiding place to vex the nation!
D&C 101:93-95
"What I(we) have said unto you must needs be, that all men may be left without excuse;
That wise men (and women) and rulers may hear and know that which they have never considered;
That I (we) may proceed to bring to pass my(our) act, my (our) strange act, and perform my (our work), my (our) strange work, that men (and women) may discern between the righteous and the wicked, saith your God." (words in parentheses from Heavenly Mother).
Raphael, as you read accounts of our dealings with our children from your standard works in scripture, we have usually waited until the last possible moment to come out of our hiding place and act. Sometimes we have allowed the righteous to be slain in order to secure judgment on the wicked. Such was the case with the leaders of the Nephite city of Ammonihah, for they had burned the records and many of the people who believed in the words of Alma and Amulek. We delivered these two men from that wicked city, and waited longer until the inhabitants of the city of Ammonihah were all wicked, for they had cast out the righteous or destroyed them all. Then we sent the armies of the Lamanites to destroy all of the inhabitants of Ammonihah in one day, for they were fully ripened in iniquity and gross sin (see Alma chapters 14-16).
You, who are our children on earth, need to wait upon us, pray to us for deliverance, and seek our protection and guidance. We will do our work when we will, and we make no excuses for our delays or our actions. We are fully responsible for what things we pronounce, and our actions. Of you, you need to be patient and wait in humility and prayer, seeking our face always, and do our will.'
Heavenly Mother then smiled upon me. I felt her great love permeate into me with her abundant light that shined from her."

See 3 Nephi 21:8-9 "And when that day shall come, it shall come to pass that kings shall shut their mouths; for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider.
For in that day, for my sake shall the Father work a work, which shall be a great and a marvelous work among them; and there shall be among them those who will not believe it, although a man shall declare it unto them."

95 That I may proceed to bring to pass my act, my strange act, and perform my work, my strange work, that men may discern between the righteous and the wicked, saith your God.
130B12-130B16, from Heavenly Father: "We also have never assembled such a large group of celestial angels, celestial servants, and other terrestrial 144,000 in helping us gather our elect from their fallen telestial world! We will send forth our Holy Spirit to accompany our servants and messengers from higher realms that we send to witness, teach and rescue our elect. Our methods of saving our children and transitioning from the telestial to the terrestrial constitute our strange act and strange work:
D&C 101:95-"That I may proceed to bring to pass my act, my strange act, and perform my work, my strange work, that men may discern between the righteous and the wicked, saith your God."
On February 23, 1847, Brigham Young received a dream in which Joseph Smith appeared to him. He gave him this counsel and message for the saints:
"Tell the people to be humble and faithful and sure to keep the Spirit of the Lord and it will lead them right. Be careful and not turn away the still small voice, it will teach you what to do and where to go; it will yield the fruits of the kingdom. Tell the brethren to keep their hearts open to conviction so that when the Holy Ghost comes to them, their hearts will be ready to receive it. They can tell the Spirit of the Lord from all other spirits. It will whisper peace and joy to their souls, and it will take malice, hatred, envyings, strife and all evil from their hearts, and their whole desire will be to do good, bring forth righteousness, and build up the kingdom of God. Tell the brethren if they will follow the Spirit of the Lord they will go right." (Secretary's Journal" 17 August 1845, Brigham Young Papers MS, Church Archives Manuscript History of Brigham Young, February 23, 1847).
This counsel from Joseph Smith applies very much today, among the elect. We will bless and direct those who listen to us!'
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his wonderful words this morning! My prayer ended, the vision was done, but the important message was strongly conveyed to me to follow the Holy Spirit."

10 And inasmuch as they are not the saviors of men, they are as salt that has lost its savor, and is thenceforth good for nothing but to be cast out and trodden under foot of men.
11 But verily I say unto you, I have decreed that your brethren which have been scattered shall return to the lands of their inheritances, and shall build up the waste places of Zion.
12 For after much tribulation, as I have said unto you in a former commandment, cometh the blessing.
13 Behold, this is the blessing which I have promised after your tribulations, and the tribulations of your brethren, your redemption, and the redemption of your brethren, even their restoration to the land of Zion, to be established, no more to be thrown down.
14 Nevertheless, if they pollute their inheritances they shall be thrown down; for I will not spare them if they pollute their inheritances.
15 Behold, I say unto you, the redemption of Zion must needs come by power;
16 Therefore, I will raise up unto my people a man, who shall lead them like as Moses led the children of Israel.
17 For ye are the children of Israel, and of the seed of Abraham, and ye must needs be led out of bondage by power, and with a stretched-out arm.
18 And as your fathers were led at the first, even so shall the redemption of Zion be.
19 Therefore, let not your hearts faint, for I say not unto you as I said unto your fathers: Mine angel shall go up before you, but not my presence.
20 But I say unto you: Mine angels shall go up before you, and also my presence, and in time ye shall possess the goodly land.
192F2-192F8: "I came today to the shores of the desert oasis. I drank living water, and then asked for my Heavenly Father to come to me. I waited in anticipation for his arrival. I then saw him on the opposite shore of the oasis. He then clearly spoke to my mind to walk to him through the oasis on dry ground, and then he would speak to me.
I stood and knew I had to generate enough faith to walk right through the water, in a path on the dry ground, with the water bunched on both sides of me. I kept my eye on my Father and walked into the oasis water. As my foot came to where the water was, it moved away from me, on either side of my foot. My next few steps revealed that the water was separated by about ten feet, and that there was dry ground under my feet. I continued walking, but soon was below where I could see my Heavenly Father on the opposite shore. As I walked, more water separated. If I stopped, which I did, the wall of water behind me continued to be separated.
I walked all the way across the desert oasis until I reached the opposite shore. I looked back and the waters were still separated. I turned to face my Heavenly Father who was smiling before me. I knelt before him, awaiting his words.
He spoke: 'Raphael, you have exhibited sufficient faith in me to walk across this desert oasis on dry ground. This is the same level of faith our northern tribes will have will cause us to reveal to them the highway in the terrestrial physical earth, their large movement overnight to the New Jerusalem in a few months, and then their passage across the mighty river separating them from the New Jerusalem island. These, our people, will have the faith necessary to prepare the island of the New Jerusalem, even as we need, for the other travelers to Zion that will be soon be coming. They will often have the assistance of our celestial servants and angels in fulfilling the tasks we will assign them and expect completed, in so short of time. Truly, this will be a time of one miracle after another, all done by our consent, our power, and from the large amount of faith from our people.
Once the city of the New Jerusalem is well under way in the terrestrial world, your community and nation will experience more and more calamities, destruction, and captivity. We want there to be a safe haven for our faithful elect to seek and find themselves in. This place will be Zion, the New Jerusalem, hidden and protected from the scrutiny, reach, and observation of the world. We will bring our humble peaceful elect to Zion, the New Jerusalem, in power and our protection.
D&C 103:11-20
"But verily I say unto you, I have decreed that your brethren which have been scattered shall return (these are their descendents, and the elect I have chosen) to the lands of their inheritances, and shall build up the waste places of Zion (the land of Zion prior to your arrival, Raphael, shall be a waste place, even covered by water and muddy).
For after much tribulation, as I have said unto you in a former commandment, cometh the blessing.
Behold, this is the blessing which I have promised after your tribulations, and the tribulations of your brethren (or of all those who come to our latter-day New Jerusalem)--your redemption, and the redemption of your brethren, even their restoration to the land of Zion, to be established, no more to be thrown down.
Nevertheless, if they pollute their inheritances they shall be thrown down; for I will not spare them if they pollute their inheritances.
Behold, I say unto you, the redemption of Zion must needs come by power;
Therefore, I will raise up unto my people a man, who shall lead them as Moses led the children of Israel. (Raphael, this man is you as we have told you previously. We will raise other leaders who also will exhibit great faith in leading their own groups of our elect to Zion, in their tribulations, but also by our strong arm. We will send you as an angel of God, and others of our angels, to come to these groups, to buoy them up in their travels to Zion- see also verse 19-20).
For ye are the children of Israel, and of the seed of Abraham, and ye must needs be led out of bondage by power, and with a stretched out arm.
And as your fathers were led at the first, even so shall the redemption of Zion be.
Therefore, let not your hearts faint, for I say not unto you as I said unto your fathers: Mine angel shall go up before you, but not my presence.
But I say unto you: Mine angels shall go up before you, and also my presence, and in time ye shall possess the goodly land." (words in parentheses by Heavenly Father).'
I thanked my Father for his words, and for the boost in confidence he gave me in walking across this oasis on dry ground. He then extended his hand and I stood and took it. We then both walked back through the separated waters to the other side of the oasis next to the bench. When we arrived on the other side, he raised his arm and the waters came back together again. He then smiled upon me and rose up into the sky, separating the red skies and entering into his highest celestial realm. I watched until the red skies came back together again."

"And it came to pass that the Lord of the vineyard sent his servant; and the servant went and did as the Lord had commanded him, and brought other servants; and they were few.
And the Lord of the vineyard said unto them: Go to, and labor in the vineyard, with your might. For behold, this is the last time that I shall nourish my vineyard; for the end is nigh at hand, and the season speedily cometh; and if ye labor with your might with me ye shall have joy in the fruit which I shall lay up unto myself against the time which will soon come.
And it came to pass that the servants did go and labor with their mights; and the Lord of the vineyard labored also with them; and they did obey the commandments of the Lord of the vineyard in all things.
And there began to be the natural fruit again in the vineyard; and the natural branches began to grow and thrive exceedingly; and the wild branches began to be plucked off and to be cast away; and they did keep the root and the top thereof equal, according to the strength thereof.
And thus they labored, with all diligence, according to the commandments of the Lord of the vineyard, even until the bad had been cast away out of the vineyard, and the Lord had preserved unto himself that the trees had become again the natural fruit; and they became like unto one body; and the fruits were equal; and the Lord of the vineyard had preserved unto himself the natural fruit, which was most precious unto him from the beginning."
Raphael, in this allegory of the tame and wild olive trees, the good fruit increased and then the bad was cleared away, a little at a time so that the roots and the top remained equal. This gradual method will preserve the strength of the tame olive trees. This is akin to our pure and holy doctrines being preserved and kept alive in the hearts and minds of our elect. As our elect are also gradually transformed into becoming terrestrial, they will find new enlightenment and strength from true doctrine and revelations from us their Gods. The false doctrine and believes, and evil thoughts and practices of their cultures and world will be gradually removed as the wicked are destroyed through war, calamity, pestilence and ultimately the glorious second coming of Jesus Christ.
We will labor side by side with our holy angels and other servants we have called in our strange work, our strange act. Then, when that glorious millennial day finally comes upon the world, and the wicked are all destroyed, we will reward and bless our diligent servants who have obeyed our every command:
Jacob 5:75:
"And it came to pass that when the Lord of the vineyard saw that his fruit was good, and that his vineyard was no more corrupt, he called up his servants, and said unto them: Behold, for this last time have we nourished my vineyard; and thou beholdest that I have done according to my will; and I have preserved the natural fruit, that it is good, even like as it was in the beginning. And blessed art thou; for because ye have been diligent in laboring with me in my vineyard, and have kept my commandments, and have brought unto me again the natural fruit, that my vineyard is no more corrupted, and the bad is cast away, behold ye shall have joy with me because of the fruit of my vineyard."
In these last days we have first called Joseph Smith, Jun. to introduce to the world our glorious truths, and the partial restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ. He was the first servant spoken of in Jacob 5:70 and as explained in D&C 103:21 when we stated "Verily, verily I say unto you, that my servant Joseph Smith, Jun., is the man to whom I likened the servant to whom the Lord of the vineyard spake in the parable which I have given unto you."
Since this time, Joseph Smith had died and is now resurrected. In his place, we now have designated you, Raphael, to be our servant in this allegory of the tame and wild olive trees.
In these last days shall then be fulfilled the following scripture:
D&C 103:20-"But I say unto you: Mine angels shall go up before you, and also my presence, and in time ye shall possess the goodly land."
Raphael, you are our chosen archangel to be our servant, to help us direct our great latter-day work through you! You will also build the New Jerusalem temple and establish through our power the Church of the Firstborn. All of our last days servants will come to know that you are our servant in mortality who will assist us in orchestrating our great work, as we enter into the great millennium!'
I thanked my glorious Heavenly Mother before me for her words. I humbly submitted myself to act and do whatever she and Heavenly Father would have me do, in any position that I might be called to serve in. I pledged my diligent effort and actions to follow her and to keep her commandments.
She spoke one last time: 'Raphael, you noticed that when you first came to this field of buttercups, that they followed you with their yellow flower heads where ever you went, just like they later did for me, their creator. You now have our power and authority to act as our servant. Your position is recognized by all in our celestial realms, even with these yellow buttercups. We will continue to inspire you to do our great work to save our elect in these last days!'"
188C15-188C26: "Heavenly Father spoke to me: 'Raphael, you prune your fruit trees each year to help achieve the highest fruit production and yield possible. You are about to do this for your orchard this week. Some trees require different ways of pruning than other trees. The pruning may strengthen the structure of the trees so that they may support the heavy fruit as fall approaches. These properly pruned trees are also more able to withstand the rigors of wind and harsh weather.
We are about to prune our vineyard, and we will do it only once:
Jacob 5:69
"And the bad shall be cast away, yea, even out of all the land of my vineyard; for behold, only this once will I prune my vineyard."
My vineyard is the house of Israel (see Isaiah 5:7). There are many branches that need to be severely pruned and cast away from the trees of my vineyard. Whether I refer to my vineyard as an olive orchard, or a vineyard of grapes, it has the same meaning. Israel has great need to be severely pruned, and the bad cast away, and the good preserved.
The trees of my vineyard are soon to bloom, and my trees will come out of their dormancy. I need to prune now, even for this last time, before the fruit of my vineyard comes forth in its fullness. I will employ you as my servant, and will also call other servants to prune my vineyard.
Jacob 5:70
"And it came to pass that the Lord of the vineyard sent his servant; and the servant went and did as the Lord had commanded him, and brought other servants; and they were few."
In the early days of this dispensation, Joseph Smith was designated as my servant by Jesus Christ.
D&C 103:21
"Verily, verily I say unto you, that my servant Joseph Smith, Jun., is the man to whom I likened the servant to whom the Lord of the vineyard spake in the parable which I have given you." (see D&C 103:16)
Zion's camp failed to redeem Zion, and my saints were scattered. However, Zion still must be redeemed, this next time by you, Raphael. We need a mortal man to do so and you are assigned to take Joseph's place. This time, "the redemption of Zion must needs come by power." (D&C 103:15). This time also "Mine angels (even those who are mortal), shall go up before you, and also my presence, and in time ye shall possess the goodly land (of Zion)." (words in parentheses added by Heavenly Father. See D&C 103:20).
You are my archangel whom I will endow with power and my authority to redeem Zion, and to establish the New Jerusalem on this land of promise. You are my Branch that will build our celestial temple.
Now is the time that your Heavenly Mother and I are hastening the preparing of our faithful servants who will do our great work of nourishing our elect and the pruning of our vineyard. Our elect servants and leaders are relatively few, and much will be expected of each of them. Each will need to pay heed to their Heavenly Mother and me, and do so as we direct them in their individual assignments:
Jacob 5:71
"And the Lord of the vineyard said unto them (our few celestial angels and servants whom we will have prepared): Go to, and labor in the vineyard, with your might. For behold, this is the last time that I shall nourish (and prune) my vineyard; for the end (of the telestial mortal earth) is nigh at hand, and the season speedily cometh (for the new terrestrial millennial era on the earth); and if ye labor with your might with me ye shall have joy in the fruit which I shall lay up unto myself against the time (of the millennium) which will soon come." (see also verses 72 to 77; comments in parentheses from Heavenly Father).
In preparation, you and our other celestial angels and servants will need to receive more and more revelations, and will need to know our voice and obey it. You need to "obey the commandments of the Lord of the vineyard in all things" (see Jacob 5:72) even immediately when Heavenly Mother or I speak and command them to you."

Doctrine & Covenants 105:5-6
5 And Zion cannot be built up unless it is by the principles of the law of the celestial kingdom; otherwise I cannot receive her unto myself.
6 And my people must needs be chastened until they learn obedience, if it must needs be, by the things which they suffer.
164B7-164B15: "Your experience with the birds eating most of your cherries from your tree, and us inspiring your kindly neighbors in sharing their own cherries freely, is an example of how our people on earth should share with others in need. There will be many of our elect inspiring your kindly neighbors in sharing their own cherries freely, is an example of how our people on earth should share with others in need. There will be many of our elect in distress for a short time as we transition your earth from the telestial to a terrestrial environment. We desire our elect, and all people, to freely share what they have to those less fortunate, or in distress and need.
D&C 105:5-6
"And Zion cannot be built up unless it is by the principles of the law of the celestial kingdom; otherwise I cannot receive her unto myself.
And my people must needs be chastened until they learn obedience, if it must needs be, by the things which they suffer."
As our people share, according to the principles in the law of the celestial kingdom, we will bless them with greater abundance, even in their times of privations and hardships. We will multiply their blessings, like you felt when you were freely given a box of ripe cherries.
The covenant of baptism into the true Church of Christ is correctly described in your scriptures, as caring and blessing for others in need:
Mosiah 18:8-9-
"And it came to pass that he said unto them: Behold, here are the waters of Mormon (for thus were they called) and now, as ye are desirous to come into the fold of God, and to be called his people, and are willing to bear one another's burdens, that they may be light;
Yea, and are willing to mourn with those that mourn; yea, and comfort those that stand in need of comfort, and to stand as witnesses of God at all times and in all things, and in all places that ye may be in, even until death, that ye may be redeemed of God, and be numbered with those of the first resurrection, that ye may have eternal life"
By serving and blessing each other, we will then be able to establish Zion among you:
Moses 7:18-
"And the Lord called his people Zion, because they were of one heart and one mind, and dwelt in righteousness; and there was no poor among them."
The reason that there was no poor among the people of Zion is because they freely shared their abundance that we blessed them with, even according to the law of the celestial kingdom. Sharing like this brings joy to the giver and the receiver, and encourages and blesses all.
We need a people that we abundantly protect and bless to comfort and share greatly their blessings with others. This is the law of Zion, and needs to start even now, in the coming days of spiritual darkness coming upon the earth, among our people, the elect of God.'
I thanked my Father for his teachings this morning! What a blessing I feel to be taught by my Father these things.
I said that I would share of my abundance with those around me. I rejoice in the goodness of God, his great power to bless, protect, and prosper us in happiness and temporal abundance too!"
170G23-170G24, from Heavenly Father: "In all of this, we will work our miracles for our elect who are close to us and pray to us for direction and protection. We will stand by each one, preserving those whom we have chosen and called.
Heavenly Mother spoke next: 'Raphael, we are pleased when you pray for your loved ones and for their protection. They are each at varying levels of connection with us. We will hear your petitions for them, and will answer your prayers with additional Spirit and blessings upon their heads. However, they each still need to decide on their own whether to accept these blessings and choose to follow the directions we give them. If they reject our counsel, spoken to them by means of our Spirit, and if they are of the elect, they may be buffeted until they learn obedience, even by the things they suffer:
D&C 105:6
"And my people must needs be chastened until they learn obedience, if it must needs be, by the things which they suffer.""

5 And Zion cannot be built up unless it is by the principles of the law of the celestial kingdom; otherwise I cannot receive her unto myself.
6 And my people must needs be chastened until they learn obedience, if it must needs be, by the things which they suffer.
31 But first let my army become very great, and let it be sanctified before me, that it may become fair as the sun, and clear as the moon, and that her banners may be terrible unto all nations;
32 That the kingdoms of this world may be constrained to acknowledge that the kingdom of Zion is in very deed the kingdom of our God and his Christ; therefore, let us become subject unto her laws.
171A13-171A14, from Heavenly Mother: "Everyone who comes to the New Jerusalem will be tried and tested, and will have their own journey of growth and faith.
D&C 105: 5-6, 31-32
"And Zion cannot be built up unless it is by the principles of the law of the celestial kingdom; otherwise I cannot receive her unto myself.
And my people must needs be chastened until they learn obedience, if it must needs be, by the things which they suffer.
But first let my army become very great (the army consists of the tribes of Israel from the north and the remnants of Jacob from the south, and as many others of my elect that may come to the New Jerusalem by foot primarily), and let it be sanctified before me, that it may become fair as the sun, and clear as the moon, and that her banners may be terrible unto all nations;
That the kingdoms of this world may be constrained to acknowledge that the kingdom of Zion is in very deed the kingdom of our God and his Christ; therefore, let us become subject unto her laws."' (words in parenthesis given by Heavenly Mother)."

Doctrine & Covenants 107:2-4
2 Why the first is called the Melchizedek Priesthood is because Melchizedek was such a great high priest.
3 Before his day it was called the Holy Priesthood, after the Order of the Son of God.
4 But out of respect or reverence to the name of the Supreme Being, to avoid the too frequent repetition of his name, they, the church, in ancient days, called that priesthood after Melchizedek, or the Melchizedek Priesthood.
110C2-110C18: "I then heard my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother walking in the woods in front of me! They came directly up to me at the stream. Heavenly Father was smiling and seemed so capable and in control of all of their creations and happenings. Heavenly Mother was smiling, had very sparkling and loving eyes. I love to be in their presence! Heavenly Father spoke first: 'Raphael, my priesthood was given to me by ordination from my father God. This was conferred upon him from his father God and so forth back to our original parent father God. This first father God created this priesthood order in the beginning. Those who are conferred this power and authority as a God have all the powers and capability of a God.
I have in turn conferred my full priesthood authority on our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, for he is also a God with our same authority and capabilities. When our male children proved themselves in their pre-mortal life, I conferred upon them a portion of my priesthood authority, but not all. I only confer all when they are finally ordained to be a God on their own resurrected earth. The power and authority of my priesthood was again restored to the earth by our Beloved Son or by the messengers he sent. In your day, Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery received a portion of our power and priesthood through Peter, James and John on the banks of the Susquehanna River. (see D&C 128:20) In the restored Church of Christ through Joseph Smith the prophet, this priesthood that he received is called the Melchizedek Priesthood.
D&C 107:2-4-"Why the first is called the Melchizedek Priesthood is because Melchizedek was such a great high priest. Before his day it was called the Holy Priesthood, after the Order of the Son of God. But out of respect or reverence to the name of the Supreme Being, to avoid the too frequent repetition of his name, they, the church, in ancient days, called that priesthood after Melchizedek, or the Melchizedek Priesthood."
Raphael, this Melchizedek Priesthood that you have received by the laying on of hands in the church in your day is the same Melchizedek Priesthood held anciently. It is an order after my full priesthood power that I have established to be with my sons in their pre-mortal, mortal and post mortal states in this eternity. It is not the full power and authority of my priesthood that I possess, for I choose to limit the power and authority of men who hold my authority.
In the ancient church, and even with the first man Adam, he received a portion of my priesthood by conferral of this authority from Jesus Christ. This he called Holy Priesthood, after the order of the Son of God. Besides having power to administer in the Church of Christ in the various offices of that church, the Melchizedek Priesthood allows the one holding it "to have the privilege of receiving the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, to have the heavens opened unto them, to commune with the general assembly and Church of the Firstborn, and to enjoy the communion and presence of God the Father and Jesus the mediator of the new covenants", and also your Heavenly Mother. (see D&C 107:19) For those, my sons, who come to earth and receive these spiritual experiences, they have received this order of the priesthood in their pre-mortal life or in their mortal life.
I have created in the order of the Melchizedek Priesthood various priesthood offices. The office of high priest that you have been ordained to in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is valid and recognized by me, having come down from holy men in that church to you. You were conferred the Melchizedek Priesthood and were ordained to this high priest office in that priesthood order.
When you are ordained to be a God with your wife on your resurrected earth on the land of your inheritance, I will lay my hands on your head and confer upon you my full priesthood power! This encompasses the Melchizedek Priesthood order, but confers upon you far more, even the full priesthood power and authority I have received through the Gods back to our first father God. You may then confer a part of this priesthood power to your own male children in their first and second estates, and also the full priesthood power to those who qualify to be a God, even as you will one day become.'
Heavenly Mother then spoke: 'Raphael, your Father has shared with you information about his priesthood. I now want to instruct you on my order, that of high priestess. I also received this from my own Heavenly Mother on our resurrected earth, by the laying on of hands. She conferred on me the full power and authority of high priestess that she received from her mother Gods, back to the first mother God who created this order for her daughters.
Our first parent Gods created and held their authority, not only because they were the first ones to learn about their creative powers, but also because of the two orders they established. This they did to be able to perpetuate the power they possessed to their worthy posterity. They wanted those who qualified, and whom they accepted, to become Gods as they were, to be able to do the same works they were able to do. These orders of priesthood for the males and high priestess for the females would become a holy order for each in which to exercise their growing power and authority. These orders would be a way to regulate and control this power in their worthy posterity.
Our first Gods chose the priesthood or high priestess orders to flow to their children based on their righteousness and their gender. Those who were male would only be able to receive priesthood power and authority, and those who were female would only be able to receive high priestess authority. They determined, in the beginning, that these two separate orders would have equal power and authority, and that neither would be more important than the other. They did not want any who were ordained to either of these orders to subjugate any others. They did not want any person with a priesthood power to be in dominion over others in any unrighteous way, including the subjugation of their daughters, for example. The administration of either of these two orders were to be done in righteous ways. One was not to lord over another. This is how it was established in the beginning by our first parent Gods.
Your Father and I have perpetuated these two orders of power and authority into our kingdom. Father possesses the power and authority of the holy priesthood, and I possess the power and authority of the office of high priestess. These orders are equal in power and authority in our kingdom, and originate with us in our kingdom.
The office of high priestess has become an order for those daughters who are in their first or second estates, and for those who are ordained to become a female God. The order for all my daughters is called the office of high priestess, but is limited in power and authority, as is the priesthood, until they are ordained by me on their own resurrected earth to my full order of high priestess, which power and authority is that of a God.
There are no sub-offices in the order or office of a high priestess, but only one conferral of this one order. I have conferred or ordained (synonymous terms for my order) my daughters both in their pre-mortal state and in their mortal state. There have been many that I have ordained already in their pre-mortal state, but relatively few in their mortal state. Those who are high priestesses in mortality may confer their same power and authority on others of my daughters who have demonstrated a life of kindness, service, love and holiness. Once they have been ordained, they have the full power and authority of any other daughter holding that same office in mortality.
Your Father and I have chosen to ordain our sons and daughters in mortality that have previously been ordained by us in their pre-mortal state. We have done this because of the veil that shrouds their memories while in their mortal probation. The office and authority is the same, whether conferred in their pre-mortal life or mortal life, and is of the same limited order. We grant to those who honor us a portion of our power in order to do our work as we direct them, for their own growth and experience. We also prepare them to receive our full power and authority by gradually increasing our power we give to them. When our sons and daughters are ready and prepared to be ordained Gods, they will have had many rich experiences already in exercising a portion of our power through our own orders of priesthood or high priestess.
In most of our eternities, we have chosen to have my high priestess order in mortality revealed to my daughters at the end of their earth's temporal existence, which is during the terrestrial millennial time period. Heavenly Father's priesthood has usually been available to our sons during periods when that priesthood was restored to the earth in previous periods, even from the beginning. We always directed that the exercise of Godly powers through the priesthood power he granted to them, his sons, to be administered in gentleness and kindness, as expressed in the great revelation of D&C 121: 34-46.
We wish our sons to always realize that they are co-equal in power and authority with our daughters and visa versa. It is only because my high priestess order has been purposefully delayed until the dawning of the millennial day that my daughters have not yet received again in mortality their ordination to the office of high priestess. This has been a good test for our men to act in humility, kindness and graciousness to our daughters.'
I thanked my Heavenly Parents for their beautiful and very understandable revelations on their orders of power and authority! I told them I was so privileged to receive their words today. I told each that I loved them, and would keep their commandments. My Heavenly Parents smiled again at me and then asked if I wanted to join them on their morning walk in their birch tree forest. I arose and gladly joined them! I then came immediately into my mortal conscious mind where I had been recording all of this experience in my journal."

Doctrine & Covenants 107:10-11
10 High priests after the order of the Melchizedek Priesthood have a right to officiate in their own standing, under the direction of the presidency, in administering spiritual things, and also in the office of an elder, priest (of the Levitical order), teacher, deacon, and member.
11 An elder has a right to officiate in his stead when the high priest is not present.
110E2, 110E5-110E12, from Heavenly Mother: "Q4: You said in post 110, C-7, that your priesthood was "valid and recognized" but then who's is not valid and recognized these days, just the 12 apostles and presidency of the LDS Church? I am confused about whose priesthood is still valid and whose isn't.
. . . I will now address your sister's other questions: A-4: When your Father withdrew his priesthood authority from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he did so from the men in the leading two quorums of the church, the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. The keys of the priesthood were also removed. Other priesthood bearers in the church could no longer exercise their leadership keys, for once the source of the keys was removed, all keys down to the ward and branch level throughout the church were removed also. However, for those men and boys who acted in humility and righteousness, their Melchizedek and Aaronic Priesthood ordinations remain intact and acceptable before the Father and Jesus Christ. They may act in their own standing in their priesthood authority and power, according to the office of their priesthood.
You were asked to ordain your son to the office of high priest next Sunday. This you will do by virtue of your own standing in your priesthood, by your own priesthood authority and not from the keys of anyone in the LDS Church, for those have all been removed. You have your own keys of the priesthood that have been conferred upon you to organize the new Church of the Firstborn. However, these keys will remain latent and won't be exercised in the ordination of your son.
D&C 107:10-"High priests after the order of the Melchizedek Priesthood have a right to officiate in their own standing" This means you may exercise your priesthood without the keys of the priesthood. Were the keys still present, those who had been ordained as high priests would act under the direction of their ecclesiastical church leaders. However, high priests may continue to ordain others in the priesthood based on their own standing. This is also true of elders (see D&C 107:11). There are many righteous priesthood holders in the LDS Church at this time. They act in their own stead, as they are inspired by God, or as the Holy Ghost inspires them.
Q5: In post 110, C-14, Heavenly Mother says high priestesses can confer others. "Those who are high priestesses in mortality may confer their same power and authority on others of my daughters who have demonstrated a life of kindness, service, love and holiness. So technically, I could confer that power and authority, as a high priestess, to someone whom felt was worthy? (not that I plan to..!)
A5: For my daughter Rachael, who holds the office of high priestess, there will come a time that I will inspire you to ordain other holy women to the office of high priestess. You will know the decision is from me and not you. My power and authority is independent of any church organization. However, in the Church of Christ in the millennium, there will be a high priestess called in that church to work with the Bishop to advance young women into their office of high priestess. The ordination of women will also occur in the temple of the New Jerusalem by the female angels for any woman who has not yet been ordained as a high priestess.
Q6: In post 110, C-17, it says the order of high priestess was purposefully delayed until the millennium, but I thought Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother wanted it bestowed upon women now and that is the revelation President Monson received but was rejected and that is why the current leadership of the church has had revelations from God withdrawn. Do you understand my query?
A6: The millennial day is now dawning upon the world and you are correct that we wanted our daughters to start to be ordained soon after the revelation to President Monson was rejected. Since that time, I have ordained you and some other female angels. This will continue slowly but surely, according to my will. When the full millennium comes in, then there will be a very large number that will be ordained by the female angels of God.'
I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her wonderful answers to these questions and for Heavenly Father's answers last night. I knew my time in prayer had ended. I told my Heavenly Mother how much I loved her and how thankful I was to be in her presence this morning."

Doctrine & Covenants 107:15-17
15 The bishopric is the presidency of this priesthood, and holds the keys or authority of the same.
16 No man has a legal right to this office, to hold the keys of this priesthood, except he be a literal descendant of Aaron.
17 But as a high priest of the Melchizedek Priesthood has authority to officiate in all the lesser offices, he may officiate in the office of bishop when no literal descendant of Aaron can be found, provided he is called and set apart and ordained unto this power by the hands of the Presidency of the Melchizedek Priesthood.
84I13-84I20, from Heavenly Father: "I then asked my Father this question:
'If the bishop is still the priesthood judge in the Church of Christ, is this position still an office in the Aaronic Priesthood? I thought there were no more Aaronic Priesthood offices or authority in the millennial Church of Christ.'
Heavenly Father responded:
'Raphael, there are still wards and stakes in the Church of Christ, and correspondingly bishops and Stake Presidents in this church. In the telestial Church of Christ, where there is an Aaronic Priesthood and its offices, the bishop acts in his priesthood office in the Aaronic Priesthood. The office of a bishop is the president of the office of this priesthood of Aaron:
D&C 107:15-17
"The bishopric is the presidency of this priesthood, and holds the keys or authority of the same.
No man has a legal right to this office, to hold the keys of this priesthood, except he be a literal descendant of Aaron.
But as a high priest of the Melchizedek Priesthood has authority to officiate in all the lesser offices, he may officiate in the office of bishop when no literal descendant of Aaron can be found, provided he is called and set apart and ordained unto this power by the hands of the Presidency of the Melchizedek Priesthood."
Raphael, in the terrestrial Church of Christ, there are no men who actively exercise the priesthood of Aaron. However, we will perpetuate the office of a bishop since this office holds keys of baptism, which will still be a necessary ordinance in this preparatory church:
D&C 107:20
"The power and authority of the lesser, or Aaronic Priesthood, is to hold the keys of ministering of angels, and to administer in outward ordinances, the letter of the gospel, the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins, agreeable to the covenants and commandments."
All of these keys mentioned above are held by the office of a bishop. This called and set apart individual will not be conferred the Aaronic Priesthood, but will act in his office as a high priest in the Melchizedek Priesthood. As a high priest, he may officiate in all the offices of all priesthoods, including the office of a bishop. By continuing the office of a bishop, exercised by a high priest in the Melchizedek Priesthood, we are able to keep all of the keys of the Aaronic Priesthood active in the Church of Christ. These keys include the key to baptism of repentance for the remission of sin.
19. See also D&C 107:69-74. In these verses, a bishop is a common judge in Israel. This function as a common judge will continue in the millennial Church of Christ. He is therefore set to be the head officer in the established ward in the Church of Christ and a common judge also. He will oversee all preparatory and temporal issues in the ward, including the administrations of the sacrament, baptism at eight years old, and regular progression of the youth in this church.'
Heavenly Mother also spoke:
'The Relief Society offices will continue in the Church of Christ in the millennial day. This position is filled by high priestesses and she and her two counselors are the only high priestess positions in the ward. Their main purpose, besides providing an organized service group and organization for women 16 years and older within the ward, is to assist in the nurturing of young women in becoming high priestesses. They are responsible to train and prepare young women in becoming worthy of this office, normally when they turn 16 years old.'
I thanked my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother for answering my question and for enlightening me on the new ward organization in the terrestrial Church of Christ."

Doctrine & Covenants 107:18-19
18 The power and authority of the higher, or Melchizedek Priesthood, is to hold the keys of all the spiritual blessings of the church
19 To have the privilege of receiving the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, to have the heavens opened unto them, to commune with the general assembly and church of the Firstborn, and to enjoy the communion and presence of God the Father, and Jesus the mediator of the new covenant.
43N1-43N26: "I have been thinking a lot about the LDS church, and what I have received over the past week and a half. Here some of my conclusions:
1) The priesthood keys, and the keys given to the church (ecclesiastical and special keys) are different. When a priesthood holder has grieved heaven and the Spirit, and lost his priesthood, his keys are also lost.
2) I have been told that the priesthood and the keys for all of the First Presidency (including the prophet) and the Quorum of the Twelve are now gone. These actions have affected other priesthood holders who also had these delegated keys of presidency. However, they have not adversely affected those worthy priesthood holders with priesthood keys associated inherently with their Aaronic and Melchizedek Priesthoods.
3) The keys of the Aaronic Priesthood (inherent in this priesthood) are given in D&C 13, and also D&C 107:20:
Key to the ministering of angels
Key to the gospel of repentance
Key to baptism by immersion for the remission of sins.
D&C 13:1-
"Upon you my fellow servants, in the name of Messiah I confer the Priesthood of Aaron, which holds the keys of the ministering of angels, and of the gospel of repentance, and of baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; and this shall never be taken again from the earth, until the sons of Levi do offer again an offering unto the Lord in righteousness."
D&C 107:20-
"The power and authority of the lesser, or Aaronic Priesthood, is to hold the keys of the ministering of angels, and to administer in outward ordinances, the letter of the gospel, the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins, agreeable to the covenants and commandments."
Note that this Aaronic Priesthood and its keys will not be taken from the earth until the sons of Levi offer an offering to the Lord in righteousness.
4) The keys of the Melchizedek Priesthood (inherent in this priesthood) are given in D&C 107:18-19:
The key to all the spiritual blessing of the church
The key to receiving the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven
The key to have the heavens opened unto them
The key to commune with the general assembly and the Church of the Firstborn
The key to enjoy the communion and presence of God the Father, and Jesus the mediator of the new covenant.
D&C 107:18-19-
The power and authority of the higher, or Melchizedek Priesthood, is to hold the keys of all the spiritual blessings of the church
To have the privilege of receiving the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, to have the heavens opened unto them, to commune with the general assembly and church of the Firstborn, and to enjoy the communion and presence of God the Father, and Jesus the mediator of the new covenant."
5) The decisions of the quorums in the church are to be done in righteousness (D&C 107:30-"The decisions of these quorums, or either of them, are to be made in all righteousness, in holiness, and lowliness of heart, meekness and long-suffering, and in faith, and virtue, and knowledge, temperance, patience, godliness, brotherly kindness and charity;"). If not, then none are exempt from the justice and the laws of God (see D&C 107:84-"Thus, none shall be exempted from the justice and the laws of God, that all things may be done in order and in solemnity before him, according to truth and righteousness."). He that is slothful, shall not be worthy to stand (D&C 107:100-"He that is slothful shall not be counted worthy to stand, and he that learns not his duty and shows himself not approved shall not be counted worthy to stand. Even so. Amen."). God is not to be mocked in these last days (D&C 63:58-"For this is a day of warning, and not a day of many words. For I, the Lord, am not to be mocked in the last days."). If the church does not repent, they will be cut off (D&C 63:63-"Wherefore, let the church repent of their sins, and I, the Lord, will own them; otherwise they shall be cut off.").
6) The keys given to Joseph Smith, and passed down to the current day by the ordination to the apostleship and conferral of these keys, are active in the president of the church, even though all of the the apostles hold those keys, unless they are lost through transgression. These keys include:
Key of the gathering of Israel
Key of sealing
Key of presidency
Key of the kingdom of God on the earth
Key to open the door by the proclamation of the gospel
Key of this Dispensation of the Fulness of Times
Key of the gospel of Abraham
see Guide to the Scripture-Keys of the Priesthood)
7) If the keys listed in 6) above, have now been lost due to cover-up and transgression, then Joseph Smith still holds all of these keys, being the prophet of the restoration. He is also the head of this last gospel dispensation.
I have some questions about this that I specifically asked and received answers for:
Q- Do I, Raphael, have any of the keys given in 6) above?
A- No
With the keys in 6) above gone from the church now among mortals, does anyone on the earth, who is mortal, hold these keys anymore?
A- No
Q- Is the Kingdom of God then gone from the earth now?
A- No, but the Kingdom of God is now splintered and will need to be fully set back in order by God in his own due time.
Are the keys of the Aaronic Priesthood still intact with all who have been conferred the Aaronic Priesthood (see D&C 13) and act in righteousness?
D&C 13:1-
1 Upon you my fellow servants, in the name of Messiah I confer the Priesthood of Aaron, which holds the keys of the ministering of angels, and of the gospel of repentance, and of baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; and this shall never be taken again from the earth, until the sons of Levi do offer again an offering unto the Lord in righteousness."
A- Yes
Q- Are the keys of the Melchizedek Priesthood still intact with all who have been conferred the Melchizedek Priesthood (see D&C 107:18-19) and act in righteousness?
D&C 107:18-20-
The power and authority of the higher, or Melchizedek Priesthood, is to hold the keys of all the spiritual blessings of the church
To have the privilege of receiving the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, to have the heavens opened unto them, to commune with the general assembly and church of the Firstborn, and to enjoy the communion and presence of God the Father, and Jesus the mediator of the new covenant."
A- Yes
Q- Again, are these removed now: the keys of Presidency and other keys in 6) above, and the priesthood from the entire First Presidency and the entire Quorum of the Twelve Apostles?
A- Yes. These keys and priesthood have been withdrawn because of cover-up and transgression. These will be reconfirmed by God or his appointed messenger(s) who gave this authority, or had this authority in the first place. This will be when God sets the kingdom of God, the Church of Christ, back in order again.
Q- Will the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints be removed from the earth?
A- No, but it will be set back in order. [later: It was revealed that the church would be supplanted by the Church of Christ, with renewed keys and authority]
Q- Are the ordinances of the priesthood still good and acceptable to God?
A- If a worthy priesthood holder officiates in righteousness, God honors his actions. These include blessing of the sacrament, baptism, confirmation, conferral of the priesthood, blessing of the sick, etc. What is not accepted now are these which require the keys which have been removed:
Key of sealing from Elijah (temple work)
Key of gathering of Israel from Moses (missionary work)
Key to open the door by the proclamation of the gospel (missionary work)
See D&C 110:11-16-
"After this vision closed, the heavens were again opened unto us; and Moses appeared before us, and committed unto us the keys of the gathering of Israel from the four parts of the earth, and the leading of the ten tribes from the land of the north.
After this, Elias appeared, and committed the dispensation of the gospel of Abraham, saying that in us and our seed all generations after us should be blessed.
After this vision had closed, another great and glorious vision burst upon us; for Elijah the prophet, who was taken to heaven without tasting death, stood before us, and said:
Behold, the time has fully come, which was spoken of by the mouth of Malachi, testifying that he [Elijah] should be sent, before the great and dreadful day of the Lord come
To turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the children to the fathers, lest the whole earth be smitten with a curse
Therefore, the keys of this dispensation are committed into your hands; and by this ye may know that the great and dreadful day of the Lord is near, even at the doors."
Q- The keys of this dispensation, found in D&C 110:16 (see above)-where are these now?
Joseph Smith the prophet has these keys, and still retains all of these keys. God will set in order his own house as in the beginning. See D&C 113:7-8:
"Questions by Elias Higbee: What is meant by the command in Isaiah, 52d chapter, 1st verse, which saith: Put on thy strength, O Zion, and what people had Isaiah reference to?
He had reference to those whom God should call in the last days, who should hold the power of priesthood to bring again Zion, and the redemption of Israel; and to put on her strength is to put on the authority of the priesthood, which she, Zion, has a right to by lineage; also to return to that power which she had lost." (emphasis added).
The power which she has lost refers to the priesthood and keys being lost in the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.
Q- Is this the fulfillment of Isaiah 28:7-8 where Isaiah says the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink (money and power) and are out of the way, erring in vision, stumbling in judgment?
Isaiah 28:7-8-
But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment.
For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean."
A- Yes. All tables, or all authority in my church, to operate the church, are now non-operative from a spiritual leadership role.
Q- Who are the scornful men that rule this people, spoken of in Isaiah 28:14-15?
Isaiah 28:14-15-
"Wherefore hear the word of the Lord, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.
Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:"
A- These include the church leaders in the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. They have made a covenant with death, and with hell are they in agreement (verse 15). God will execute judgement (verse 17). This is all talking about the cleansing of my church through verse 19.
Isaiah 28:17-19-
"Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.
From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report."
At this time in my prayer, Heavenly Father spoke to me, while I was by the bluff, overlooking the lake at God's Loving Healing Center, looking north:
'Raphael, this that I have revealed to you is the current state of affairs in my church. The church will be set in order again by my prophet Joseph Smith who holds the keys and the rights to the kingdom of God on the earth. He will confer these keys again upon the next set of mortal men who will govern my Church of Christ on the earth. This will reset my church again in order as it was in the beginning (see Isaiah 1:26-27-
"And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.
Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.").'
Now that I have written all of this down, from my notes in my pocket journal, and from my musings, I have this to say: I am planning on writing all this down in the cover-up post, on my website. I don't know whether I will be asked to share it quite yet, but I do believe I will share it with some few people, at least whom God tells me.
I plan to keep attending sacrament meeting, and to still keep at arms length from my own ward, as I feel I am directed to do. I am going to continue to keep a low profile, in the LDS church and with friends and family. I will be careful what I say, and speak and share only with those I trust and have felt prompted to do so.
Later, after prayer at night:
I confirmed all of the above information in the domed room, in front of my Heavenly Parents. They listened intently to all I asked and shared, and I feel they graciously confirmed this reality of the cover-up and all of the dire consequences. They had soft eyes for me at the end, and asked me to stand and take their hands. We three rose up in the air and I saw us go through the western ceiling area out into the sky. I don't know what we did then. I feel content and satisfied in my report."
145B22-145B28, from Heavenly Father: "At night-This evening I came to the Great Assembly Hall, to the stand area behind the podium. I don't know why I came here. When I looked up I saw that the hall was full of people! It was like I was in a meeting that was ready to start.
I turned and looked up in the top left corner of the hall behind me. I saw both my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother standing there in the air. I asked them if I might come to them, and Heavenly Father spoke to my mind:
'Raphael, come before us here near the ceiling and we will inform you what is happening.'
I then left my place on the stand, and came on bended knee before my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother. Heavenly Father then spoke to me:
'Raphael, we have asked that a meeting of our holy angels and all other celestial servants be held tomorrow, 11-19-2019. You are seeing that this meeting is about to start, and you are seeing this event in the future, tomorrow morning. Your Mother and I have asked that you conduct this meeting. You will have time between now and tomorrow morning to organize your thoughts on who will speak, and what speaker(s) you feel inspired to call from this congregation. Our objective in holding a general assembly meeting in this very large hall is to announce several issues and to buoy up our angels and celestial servants who have been working so very hard for us.'
I asked my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother to help and inspire me in asking the people that they wanted to speak, and if I would speak, what I should say.
'Raphael', he spoke, 'come here in the morning and begin the meeting in your prayer.'
I then was disconnected with my evening prayer at the Great Assembly Hall. I thanked my Heavenly Parents for their confidence in me, and then closed my prayer and soon went to bed.
I thought of the scripture in D&C 107:19, which speaks of the power and authority of the Melchizedek Priesthood:
"To have the privilege of receiving the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, to have the heavens opened unto them, to commune with the general assembly and church of the Firstborn, and to enjoy the communion and presence of God the Father, and Jesus the mediator of the new covenant."
I felt like I would have the great privilege of communing with the general assembly spoken of in this verse!"
197F2-197F7: "I came this morning to the font room in the New Jerusalem temple. I immediately joined one of the tours in disguise. I knew that my Heavenly Parents had done this recently. As I was listening to our male tour guide, my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother came by my side, also in disguise! I knew them immediately, for they looked at me with their distinctive eternity eyes.
Heavenly Father whispered to my mind the following: 'Raphael, we have come on many of these tours recently and have rejoiced in the feelings of those gathered here! These, our beloved celestial elect children, are so grateful that the time has arrived when the glory of the New Jerusalem is established on the earth. This event signals to them how close they are to be brought into the Church of the Firstborn. They will then be able to continue to mingle together in communion with the other celestial elect. Prior to this time, there has not been a distinct group of such like-minded people, all gathered together. Even those who are resurrected have been living in small groups, and not been members of a larger congregation of those destined to become gods in eternity. Our many faithful sons and daughters will soon enter into our celestial church, and have communion frequently with each other:
D&C 107:19
"To have the privilege of receiving the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, to have the heavens opened unto them, to commune with the general assembly and church of the Firstborn, and to enjoy the communion and presence of God the Father, and Jesus the mediator of the new covenant."
D&C 76:66-68
"These are they who are come unto Mount Zion (this is the New Jerusalem, even here among these tours and future assemblies), and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly place, the holiest of all.
These are they who have come to an innumerable company of angels (and celestial servants), to the general assembly (like we are gathered in even now on this tour) and church of Enoch, and of the Firstborn (these are our celestial elect among us, who have been chosen and elected to be members of the Church of the Firstborn. They will officially become members when you administer the waters of separation for each of them in this very room, Raphael).
These are they whose names are written in heaven (this is when our archangel Oriphiel records their premortal name in the Lambs Book of Life. (He pointed over to the book on Oriphiel's table)), where God and Christ are the judge of all." (words in parentheses from Heavenly Father).'
My Heavenly Father stopped speaking and looked at the tour guide, listening intently. He was holding Heavenly Mother's hand, and they were both smiling.
My prayer here in the font room stopped, for I was immediately back in my home in Utah, in my private room. I thanked my Gods for this beautiful prayer this morning. I concluded my prayer in the name of Jesus Christ."

These spiritual keys are inherent in the Melchizedek Priesthood. All who worthily receive this priesthood also possess these same keys to commune with God and those of the celestial world's.

Doctrine & Covenants 107:20
20 The power and authority of the lesser, or Aaronic Priesthood, is to hold the keys of the ministering of angels, and to administer in outward ordinances, the letter of the gospel, the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins, agreeable to the covenants and commandments.
122J12-122J20, from Heavenly Mother: "Raphael, we wish children who reach the age of eight years old to have been taught these things and to be baptized by one who has honored his priesthood. However, there are no priesthood keys remaining in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Those parents who have children that have reached the age of eight years old, and would normally be baptized in the LDS church, may still be baptized. This ordinance will be done with the inherent authority of the one who holds the Aaronic or Melchizedek priesthood, who is acceptable to the Father. Whether or not they receive approval from their LDS bishop or not is no longer an issue to us. If the priesthood holder is righteous, and receives our spirit, we will honor him to continue to baptize the living using his inherent priesthood power. This is similar to how the Aaronic priesthood holder currently blesses the sacrament, without the necessary approval of the bishop since there are no more keys in the LDS church.'
We will allow these baptisms to continue to be accepted by us, and the sacrament to continue to be blessed in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
The conferral of the Aaronic priesthood has inherent keys to administer the sacrament and baptize for the remission of sins. (See D&C 13 and 107:20)
D&C 107:20-"The power and authority of the lesser, or Aaronic priesthood, is to hold the keys of the ministering of angels, and to administer in outward ordinances, the letter of the gospel, the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins, agreeable to the covenants and commandments."
At this time, my Heavenly Father came next to Heavenly Mother above the water. He appeared so majestic and full of light. His eyes, his eternity eyes, were so full of truth and understanding!
He spoke:
'Raphael, you are wondering about the inherent authority of those who hold my priesthood on the earth, whether Aaronic or Melchizedek.
What your Heavenly Mother has spoken to you about the authority of those righteous men and boys who hold the Aaronic priesthood is true. They may administer the sacrament and baptize by immersion for the remission of sins, for the living and have these be acceptable before us, their Gods. These ordinances are inherent in their Aaronic priesthood, as described in the scriptures.
Normally, we have these ordinances controlled and administered in a regular manner by the bishop, who would normally hold the keys of the Aaronic priesthood (see D&C 107:15). However, the keys to the Melchizedek and Aaronic priesthood in the church have been removed, because that priesthood and keys are removed from the First Presidency and Quorum of the twelve apostles. Now there only remains keys and authority in the bearer of that priesthood inherent to that priesthood. Blessing the sacrament and the authority to baptize is inherent in the calling and conferral of the Aaronic priesthood. A priest in that priesthood may bless the sacrament and baptize by immersion for the remission of sins.
There are responsibilities and powers of the Melchizedek Priesthood that also do not require church keys to function, but are inherent in that priesthood. These include giving priesthood blessings, healing blessings and sealings of those blessings, and conferral of the gift of the Holy Ghost. All ordinations to confer the Melchizedek priesthood or Aaronic priesthood will need to wait until the Church of Christ is again established on the earth, in a future day. Other ordinances relating to church callings, and all temple ordinances are also no longer acceptable to us without the keys in the church of Christ are restored again to the earth.'
Raphael, this is a unique time of transition between the once approved church of Jesus Christ and the future Church of Christ. Follow our guidelines until the new Church of Christ is established again on the earth through our prophet Joseph Smith.'"

22 Of the Melchizedek Priesthood, three Presiding High Priests, chosen by the body, appointed and ordained to that office, and upheld by the confidence, faith, and prayer of the church, form a quorum of the Presidency of the Church.
Mon, Apr 24, 2023
These are the First Presidency, or the Presidency of the High Priesthood. They regulate the operation of the priesthood and its keys throughout the entire church.

31 Because the promise is, if these things abound in them they shall not be unfruitful in the knowledge of the Lord.
Mon, Apr 24, 2023

Doctrine & Covenants 107:48-49
48 Enoch was twenty-five years old when he was ordained under the hand of Adam; and he was sixty-five and Adam blessed him.
49 And he saw the Lord, and he walked with him, and was before his face continually; and he walked with God three hundred and sixty-five years, making him four hundred and thirty years old when he was translated.
Mon, Apr 24, 2023
Interesting that Enoch was before the face of the Lord continually, and he was translated.
167F10-167F25: "Evening- Today I have had multiple times where I saw myself with my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother in my mind's eye, in the room where I came this morning in my prayer. It was easy for me to come into God's presence at any time with just my thoughts. I seemed to only be able to view their faces whenever I thought of them!
I found this scripture, speaking of Enoch:
D&C 107: 49
"And he saw the Lord, and he walked with him, and was before his face continually; and he walked with God three hundred and sixty-five years, making him four hundred and thirty years old when he was translated." It seemed today I was before God continually too.
During my day, I found myself in conversation with Heavenly Mother several times. I had lost a screw from a sprinkler valve I was repairing, and asked God to help me find it. I soon found it and got it fixed.
I also found myself trying to act more loving, patient, and kind, probably because I was "in God's presence" during my entire day.
Tonight I thought to come back into the room where I had been with my Heavenly Parents all day long. I came immediately before them and was standing, with them a little higher elevated than me in front of me.
Heavenly Mother immediately spoke to my mind: 'Raphael, our son, you have been in our presence all day long while you lived your mortal day. We have not spoken to you except to give you of our Spirit, and to help you as you have asked. However, had you needed more than this, we would have immediately communed with you as we normally do in your prayer, according to your requests.
You are also still within your healing seer stone, for you have never exited by intending to look up and leave. This is pleasing to us, to have you continually within your stone, in your mind, and to be before us throughout your day. This is similar to what Enoch experienced as you found recorded in the scripture in D & C 107:49.
We would that you and our other angels and celestial servants come into our presence and remain throughout their days as well. We will lead them, even as we have led you to do this, when we will, according to their need and their desires to have us in their lives all day long.'
I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her explanation.
Heavenly Father then spoke: 'Raphael, whenever you need or desire, at any time in your day or night, you may come to us in the state you were in today by looking into your seer stone with intention. We will immediately be before you, even as we have been today. You will be able to at least see or view our faces, and know we are next to you, guiding you and helping you in mortality as you may need. This will be a great boon to you, to come before us at any time you may desire. We will always be open and ready to be next to you in such a clear and visible way!'
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his words too. I asked him if I should, from now on, regularly come to him through my healing seer stone for the entire day, or come as needed or as I perceive I need to come, each time through my stone.
Heavenly Father responded: 'Raphael, it is pleasing to us whether you stay before us all day long, or come as you desire and then leave. In any case, when you need us, you may come into our presence, and we will respond to you in the same way.
At the end of each day in your mortal life, we wish you to exit your seer stone by intending to look up and leave the influence of your stone. When you sleep for the night, we wish you to not be looking through your seer stone, but let your mind and spirit fully rest in your conscious mind. You will still be ministering to others in our celestial realms, and in your unconscious mind at night, but this activity won't restrict your mortal body from getting the rest you need.
I thanked my Heavenly Parents for this experience today, and for me having felt so much closer to them throughout the day. I said I will likely come to them again at times all day long through my healing seer stone, and then at other times come and go as I need. I said I felt so supported and loved by their gracious blessing to be able to come at any time before them!
I then looked up from my healing seer stone, and exited my stone's influence. I felt then fully in my conscious mind, in my front room where I had been writing all of this."

Doctrine & Covenants 107:56
56 And Adam stood up in the midst of the congregation; and, notwithstanding he was bowed down with age, being full of the Holy Ghost, predicted whatsoever should befall his posterity unto the latest generation.
121H1-121H15: "I am leaving in three weeks to visit my mom and my family in Oregon. My mom just recently fell about a week ago, and is in rehab since she fractured her pelvis. My sister K is consumed in visiting her, and this is difficult for her with all the other demands she has. I talked to K yesterday, and communicated with her about exhausting service. My mom now can't walk on her own because of pain she has when she puts pressure on her pelvis.
Part of our mortal journey is to age and become feeble and bent over with age. Three years before the death of Adam, Jehovah appeared to him among the faithful.
D&C 107:56-"And Adam stood up in the midst of the congregation: and notwithstanding he was bowed down with age, being full of the Holy Ghost, predicted whatsoever should befall his posterity unto the latest generation."
We don't know what will become of us, as we age and become feebler even as the first man Adam experienced. Even though we may have a celestial translation, our mortal body still ages. I know my Heavenly Parents have said that they didn't want to rob us of the experience of aging and perhaps even death. I would like to know more about this topic for we who are mortal angels, who have been translated to a celestial glory.
I came this morning to the desert oasis where I had come to pray last night. The celestial sun was up in the sky and it was very pleasant! I came to the water's edge and drank living water. I felt very connected with my replicated translated body there, and my unconscious mind. I knelt and asked for one or both of my Heavenly Parents to come to me.
Heavenly Mother descended from the sky in great light and glory! She came right in front of me, and I could feel her light passing through me and filling me with joy and peace. I felt very blessed to be in her presence!
She spoke: 'Raphael, when our son Adam became feeble and old, among the congregation of the faithful at Adam-Ondi-Ahman, he bestowed upon certain of his righteous high priest descendants his last and final blessing. When he blessed them, your Heavenly Father and I were next to him in the higher celestial realms. He couldn't see us. I sent the intense light of the Holy Ghost upon him, and dwelt in his body also. Our Beloved Son, Jehovah appeared to them there, whereas your Father and I did not. It was a glorious experience for those who were gathered there!
We allow some of our children on earth to age to a point of becoming feeble, very old, and eventually to die. Death is where their eternal spirit separates from their mortal body. Their body decays and returns to the telestial earth from which their physical body was created. This experience of death comes upon all, even upon our translated sons and daughters. We keep them in their mortal state until their appointed time of death.
When our children die, they are brought by their own portal into the world of the dead. This sphere encompasses all of the earth in the telestial and terrestrial realms. Here our deceased sons and daughters continue to live fulfilling many responsibilities for those who still live in mortality on earth.
Birth and death are both a transfer or passing from one spiritual or physical realm into another. We use the separation of death as a unique time of growth for those who remain behind in their mortal physical state, and for those who enter into the spheres of the dead. Physical pain in the body often accompanies aging and death, and also teaches important lessons. Diminished function, whether physical or mental, also usually happens with the aging process. Separation from loved ones is difficult! However, in our wisdom, these experiences can teach very helpful and needed lessons. There must needs be a change for our spirit son or daughter as they leave one realm and enter into another. These spheres each have great importance for the progress and growth for our beloved children. These include first the spirit birth where we created our spirit babies, transferring their intelligence into a new spirit formed in our image. I birthed each one, transferring their intelligence into a new spirit formed in our image. I birthed each one into our spirit world, prior to mortality.
Another birth came when our pre-mortal spirits enter into their new physical body in the same process but from earth parents. In the process there was a dramatic change of environment and people surrounding the new baby.
Death brought another shift and change of environment. Each of these realms provides helpful areas where our children may grow and progress on their path to their own eternal glory.
Resurrection is the final change into the eternal realm of glory that our child receives, either celestial, terrestrial or telestial. All of the previous experiences in the other realms are then fully restored to the mind of the resurrected, uniting both the conscious and unconscious mind of man. The physical body is brought forth from the grave as a glorious body, reuniting with their spirit, never again to be separated. The celestial may replicate in their spirit only state, or in their resurrected state, but they will always have a base resurrected state, which will never be separated.
Raphael, I cherish the various memories and experiences I had in each of those stages of my own progression. I remember each one vividly now, even being so long ago. I reflect on some of these growth experiences and can see that in my struggle I matured and improved. I wish to give this similar experience to my own beloved children who are in the midst of their own probationary stages of growth and testing.
For you and those who are mortal angels or servants who have been translated to a celestial order, we who may have been translated to a celestial order, we may transfer you through death at any time we may wish. If this would happen, your service to us will continue in the next realm. Your work, Raphael, will continue to the last man or woman received into the church of the Firstborn even after your own celestial resurrection. Our other angels will also continue their service until that same time, in laboring in the New Jerusalem temple for others. Our other celestial servants will have their own length of time for their direct service to our progressing elect sons and daughters at various times. We are so pleased in how each of you are responding to our call to you to serve your fellow brothers and sisters.'
I thanked my glorious Heavenly Mother who was before me smiling! She then gathered the light around her, and departed back into the sky above."

Doctrine & Covenants 107:65-67
65 Wherefore, it must needs be that one be appointed of the High Priesthood to preside over the priesthood, and he shall be called President of the High Priesthood of the Church;
66 Or, in other words, the Presiding High Priest over the High Priesthood of the Church.
67 From the same comes the administering of ordinances and blessings upon the church, by the laying on of the hands.
104I1-104I6: "I came into God's temple this morning through the north door, and came to a beautiful evergreen tree on the east side of the front entry area. I knelt down and drank some living water from the small little stream in front of me. I felt clear and ready to receive from one or both of my Heavenly Parents. I asked for them to come.
My Heavenly Parents both then came into the front door of the temple and came over to me by the tree. They were holding hands. They seemed so very happy together. They came directly in front of me.
Heavenly Mother spoke to me:
'Raphael, we are both very glad to come before you this morning. I want to speak more on where our children go when they die or are translated instead of dying. You have wondered where your loved ones go who die, who have lived without receiving a valid baptism ordinance in their life. These, like your father, go to the world of spirits, in the telestial sphere of the earth. They may see all the spirits in that same realm, including Lucifer and his evil hosts. However, there is a separation between the wicked and the good people, like your father. This separation is by choice, for these good people do not wish to be by the devils or partake in any way of their temptations or be subject to them.
If there is a valid baptism performed for them by proxy, by our power and authority, these good people in this telestial sphere are able to enter into the terrestrial sphere in the world of spirits. Satan may not enter into this sphere. It also has increased glory and peace, for this environment is terrestrial and not telestial, even as the moon is brighter in light than the stars in glory.
There is now no one on earth who performs a valid baptism ordinance, since these priesthood keys have been withdrawn from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
D&C 107:65-67
"Wherefore, it must needs be that one be appointed of the High Priesthood to preside over the priesthood, and he shall be called President of the High Priesthood of the Church;
Or, in other words, the Presiding High Priest over the High Priesthood of the Church.
From the same comes the administering of ordinances and blessings upon the church, by the laying on of the hands."
Because your Heavenly Father and I have withdrawn the priesthood and keys from the Presiding High Priest, the Quorum of the First Presidency, and Quorum of the Twelve, these keys have been removed from the entire church.
Raphael, you have priesthood keys and a commission for the Church of the Firstborn, but not for the Church of Christ. The ordinance of baptism is one that resides in the Church of Christ, and not in the Church of the Firstborn. It won't be until the new Church of Christ is reestablished by Jesus Christ again and the keys are conferred by Joseph Smith, the prophet, the head of this dispensation, on the new prophet leader in this church, that baptisms will again be accepted. This ordinance may be done by proxy also. When properly done for the dead, at a time in the future, these individuals may then be released from their telestial sphere in the spirit world and enter into the higher terrestrial sphere. This latter is called the paradise of God, for Satan may not enter, nor those who are not baptized."

Doctrine & Covenants 107:79
79 And the Presidency of the council of the High Priesthood shall have power to call other high priests, even twelve, to assist as counselors; and thus the Presidency of the High Priesthood and its counselors shall have power to decide upon testimony according to the laws of the church.
Mon, Apr 24, 2023
This group of twelve High priests were considered the presiding high council of the church. These acted as standing ministers, to regulate, with the First Presidency, all the affairs of the church at the center place of the church. The traveling twelve were to minister and build up the church abroad, and did not have jurisdiction of the church at its center place.

Doctrine & Covenants 107:92
92 Behold, here is wisdom; yea, to be a seer, a revelator, a translator, and a prophet, having all the gifts of God which he bestows upon the head of the church.
Tue, Apr 25, 2023
This is the position of all of the presidents of the LDS church from Joseph Smith through Thomas S. Monson. I personally remember praying about each one and confirming that this mantle of God was truly upon each one of these presidents who were alive in my lifetime. I therefore was able to sustain each one as a prophet, seer, and revelator. With Thomas S. Monson, I saw Jesus Christ come behind him at a general conference (I believe this was on Sunday, April 6, 2014, during the last session of conference), and transmit through him his light and truth. President Monson then spoke the words of Jesus to the congregation. It was a remarkable experience! He was the last president that I sustained as a prophet, seer, and revelator.
I never beheld this with President Russell M. Nelson. Instead I saw Satan possess him in his face at the first conference that he spoke as a president of the church. Therefore, I never have sustained him as a prophet, seer, or revelator.
Raphael was commissioned on 14 May 2017 (see 74F13) President Thomas S Monson died on Jan 2 2018. The oak tree on the celestial orb (representing the earthly LDS Church) fell violently on Jan 19, 2019. The oak tree later caught on fire Mar 20, 2020 (154H3).
The High Priestess revelation was first introduced in June 2011 from President Monson, but five of the twelve flatly rejected the revelation. God withdrew his spirit, and a few years later he fully rejected the church and withdrew his priesthood (see 46J1-J7).
From personal prayer, I received this on April 24, 2023: President Thomas S Monson always retained his priesthood until the day he died. By then, Raphael had already received his keys and his great commission. This kept the Dispensation of the Fulness of Times in the hands of at least one who possessed the priesthood keys, who also was a prophet, seer and revelator for either the LDS Church or for the Church of the Firstborn. There was never a break in the lines of communication between God and his prophet.
President Russell M Nelson was set apart as President of the LDS Church on 17 January, 2018. This was not ratified before by the church as required by revelation, until after he was set apart as President for several months (see the Lord's requirements in D&C 20:65-66).. One year later, Raphael saw the white oak tree on the celestial orb in heaven violently blow over, analogous to God rejecting the LDS Church and removing the priesthood and keys from all the men of the First Presidency and all of the men of the Quorum of the Twelve. The oak tree caught fire on Mar 20, 2020, signifying again that God had fully rejected this Church and its leaders. This fire came two more times on different days, signifying the certainly of this rejection from God.

Doctrine & Covenants 109:15
15 And that they may grow up in thee, and receive a fulness of the Holy Ghost, and be organized according to thy laws, and be prepared to obtain every needful thing;
131H8-131H25: "Heavenly Mother then spoke: 'Raphael, your Father and I are very pleased to reveal to you every aspect of godliness, of our life and our truths! We will give you revelation upon revelation, as fast as you can receive these. You are enlightened and filled with the light of my presence, even the light of the Holy Ghost in its fullness. There is no greater light that mortal man may receive than the fullness of the light of the Holy Ghost!'
I then paused to look up in the index to the triple combination under 'fullness' on my digital cellphone, and found one reference to the 'fulness of the Holy Ghost, given by Joseph Smith during the dedication of the Kirtland temple (see D&C 109:15).
D&C 109:15
"And that they may grow up in thee, and receive a fulness of the Holy Ghost, and be organized according to thy laws, and be prepared to obtain every needful thing
Heavenly Mother spoke to me again: 'Raphael, the fulness of the Holy Ghost is to receive my glory and light, even as you are receiving from me today. It is to receive the brightness of my glory, to have the feeling of my intense light of the Holy Ghost penetrating into you in every part of your being. This light is so intense and full that it passed entirely through you and you felt a very transparent feeling. You are pure before me, for without being pure and holy, cleansed by the sanctifying blood of my Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, you couldn't withstand my glory. You are not quickened anymore by me, but have become fully cleansed by the Son, even your great Redeemer. Therefore, you can endure my presence, and bask in my intense light!
We desire all of our children who are elected by Jesus Christ to receive the fulness of the Holy Ghost. This is not an ordinance, like the gift of the Holy Ghost, but the receipt of my very presence in my glory and fulness. It is a capstone of our blessings upon our faithful in their progress and enlightenment to receive all from us, their Heavenly Parents.
In the beginning of this eternity, your Father and I determined that I should be the Holy Ghost to our beloved children who would come to mortality. I was to be a witness to the faithful, and a comfort to all who sought us, their Heavenly Parents. We planned that the constant companionship of the Holy Ghost would be received by ordination, by the laying on of hands by one in authority, to do so. I would then be always with my faithful, being next to them in the higher celestial realms, unseen by them but felt by the perceptive and faithful. I would be a guide to them in their daily mortal life.
Once our children had proven themselves by their faithfulness and diligence, then your Father and I decided that Jesus Christ, our future great Redeemer for all of our children, would be the one to accept them and qualify them into our Church of the Firstborn. This would be an election he would make. At or around that same time, he would reveal himself to them, and then soon introduce our faithful child to their Heavenly Father and me, one at a time. We would continue to love them, and openly begin teaching and leading them more fully in their life. We would begin revealing to them gradually all of our mysteries of godliness, our eternal truths. In time, as they proved faithful, I would give to them an experience where they would receive the fulness of the Holy Ghost. This gift and revelation is what you have received a number of times recently, and have recorded this experience in your personal journal each time I came to you in the fulness of my light and glory. You have described the sensation of being transparent, with my intense light of the Holy Ghost passing into and through you in every part of your being. You have also described the feelings of acceptance, love and joy come into you that accompanied my light.
This great gift, the fulness of the Holy Ghost, comes from me directly to each of our children who, in the mind of your Heavenly Father and I, have pressed forward in diligence and faithfulness.
2 Nephi 31:20
"Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life."
In the beginning, we decided that the Father would announce to our faithful the promise of eternal life as described in this scripture. I would later bless them with the fulness of the Holy Ghost, which blessing you received again today. I may bless our faithful repeatedly with the fulness of my glory, as often as I desire.
Raphael, there have been very few who have already received the fulness of the Holy Ghost. However, we desire each of our faithful to receive this great gift from me in their journey and progress towards eternal life and exaltation.
My Spirit of the Holy Ghost fills my child with joy, hope and love. They are thereby encouraged by me to continue to press forward, with an eye of faith, even to the end. I encourage and strengthen them frequently with my intense light of the Holy Ghost.
We have created an actual area in our celestial orb where our children may experience a pattern of their journey to their own eternal life with us, their Gods and Heavenly Parents. This is located to our north, near our temple.
The area I speak of begins with the white gate. Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son, is the keeper of the gate and he alone stands ready to accept our faithful onto the path that leads to our tree of life. The tree of life, and its precious fruit, represent our child's final eternal state of exaltation and eternal life. The path from the white gate to the tree of life is narrow and allows only one traveler at a time. We also provide a rod of iron on which to grasp and hold onto tightly, for there may be many mists of darkness and treacherous pitfalls along the way. Ultimately, however, our chosen son or daughter reaches the tree, having pressed forward in great diligence and effort. Those who make it to the tree of life become gods, even couple gods before us, their Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother, for they have been proven in all things along their journey. They have taken my Holy Spirit for their guide and some have received even the fulness of the Holy Ghost along the journey. What a boon and a blessing to our traveler to the tree of life!
We adapt this area between the white gate and the tree of life to the individual circumstance and mortal experience of each of our children. Each one who travels the path has a unique experience. This ability is only possible because we are the Gods who have this power, and also because this area is in our celestial orb. We have had all of our faithful children from our past eternities also pass through this journey from the white gate to the tree of life. Each one of our faithful received a unique journey, tailored just for them, based on our plan for their mortal and post mortal experience in their quest for eternal life and exaltation. We still have many in this current eternity who will yet travel the path towards the tree of life and partake of its precious fruit and leaf.
Raphael, there have been few who have thus far received a fulness of the Holy Ghost in this current eternity. However, now is the day and into the millennium that I will greatly increase my great gift upon my faithful children. Millions and millions will yet receive of the fulness of the Holy Ghost, even as you have received again this morning from me. Oh, how I love to pour out my abundant light, love and acceptance upon our faithful and choice sons and daughters.
I bowed my head in reverence to my glorious Heavenly Mother who had just revealed again to me some of God's greatest mysteries from the heavens! I feel so grateful and honored, so loved and blessed, to receive all she, Heavenly Father, and Jesus Christ have given to me in such abundance.
My prayer ended and I got up and started a new Sabbath day."
203C1-203C7: "I came this morning in my replicated celestial being to the little stream that flows into God's Loving Healing Lake. I knelt and drank living water from the stream. I asked for my Heavenly Mother to come to me.
She gradually appeared before me, and was glorious and smiling. She spoke to me: 'Raphael, what your Heavenly Father revealed to you last night in your prayer is true. A merged mind, given to one of our faithful mortal sons or daughters, assures them of eternal life and exaltation. This stops their probationary experience in mortality, for they no longer have a veil which is common to our mortal children. At any time they may come unto us, their Gods, in a replicated celestial state, and in a full conscious mind be in our presence. Their conscious memory will include their additional unconscious memories. We will have proven them and promised them to become Gods in eternity.
It is in the state of a merged mind that our celestial mortal elect will have our revelations distill upon their souls as the dews from heaven, and without compulsory means, these shall flow to them forever and ever. (see D&C 121:45-46).
In this period of your gradual transition to have the blessing of a merged mind, I will help you perceive small changes in your conscious mind and memory. In every way you will still be our mortal son, living on the earth. However your mind will become more and more opened to the conscious awareness of all that we have revealed to you. Your faith will become very strong, and you will greatly be able to serve us and our people with greater ability and strength.'
I gazed into the loving eyes of my Heavenly Mother and was very glad! I thanked her for this exceedingly great blessing of a merged mind that I would be receiving.
I then felt her Holy Ghost envelop me and witness to me of the truthfulness of all these things (see Moroni 10:5). I knew that this was the fulness of the Holy Ghost (see D&C 109: 15). I seemed to feel synched to her being in a miraculous manner. I was very glad and filled with her light, love and peace. I felt this all in my unconscious mind, but I will soon feel all such experiences in my conscious mind.
Heavenly Mother then started going backwards and fading away. I watched until she had departed. I closed my prayer in the name of Jesus Christ."

11 After this vision closed, the heavens were again opened unto us; and Moses appeared before us, and committed unto us the keys of the gathering of Israel from the four parts of the earth, and the leading of the ten tribes from the land of the north.
12 After this, Elias appeared, and committed the dispensation of the gospel of Abraham, saying that in us and our seed all generations after us should be blessed.
13 After this vision had closed, another great and glorious vision burst upon us; for Elijah the prophet, who was taken to heaven without tasting death, stood before us, and said:

These keys conferred upon Joseph and Oliver. Later, these keys given to Oliver were transferred to Hyrum Smith (see D&C 124:95). None of these keys were ever conferred upon anyone else, and were removed in life by the death of these two men.
The Melchizedek Priesthood holds keys inherent in its priesthood that are sufficient for the operation of the LDS Church.

I have much treasure in this city for you, for the benefit of Zion, and many people in this city, whom I will gather out in due time for the benefit of Zion, through your instrumentality.
3 Therefore, it is expedient that you should form acquaintance with men in this city, as you shall be led, and as it shall be given you.
4 And it shall come to pass in due time that I will give this city into your hands, that you shall have power over it, insomuch that they shall not discover your secret parts; and its wealth pertaining to gold and silver shall be yours.
Sat, Aug 10, 2024
This scripture refers at that time to Salem, Massachusetts, but in a future day to the city of Salem, Utah. The gold spoken of in verse 4 is the gold in Nephite mines and treasure rooms, hidden underground in the city boundaries. This was never realized in Joseph Smith's day, but in the future the treasures will help adorn the New Jerusalem temple.

Doctrine & Covenants 111:11
11 Therefore, be ye as wise as serpents and yet without sin; and I will order all things for your good, as fast as ye are able to receive them. Amen.
185H5-185H10, from Heavenly Father: "He spoke to me: 'Raphael, my son, you are correct that your Heavenly Mother and I are not only interested in sharing our many truths with you and our elect, but we do so in a manner to train and mature those receiving our words. Our overall objective is for each to learn to recognize and accept our revelations, and be sure in their hearts and minds that these are from us. We then want them to be full of courage, and to be true to themselves that they should heed and hold sacred our revelations in their minds and hearts.
Were we to tell you that an event would happen tomorrow and then it was fulfilled, this would be one way to reveal this to you. However, were we to couch this revelation in more unknowns, like not giving the exact time or circumstances, it would develop in you the need to drop all of your expectations of when and in what way our revelation might be fulfilled. This is the way we have generally been giving you our words, for we want to train you to drop your expectations.
Our mortal children are very creative in scheming upon our words, imagining up all sorts of ways for our predictive revelations to come about. This scheming gets them in trouble, for they get in their minds only one way that they think our prophecies will be fulfilled. This is dangerous to their budding faith, and can easily destroy confidence in us were the event not to come to pass like they think it will. It is far better for our open and receptive elect child to just hold our revelations in their heart, and wait upon us in faith and patience.
When the prophecy we give finally comes to pass, those who have had no expectations feel a surge of gratefulness and increased faith. They are then more full of faith, and tend to be more receptive to other promptings and revelations we then may reveal to them. This is just how we like it. We thus may lead our elect to be more responsive to us, even in a moment's notice, in this state of constant prayer and revelation.'
I felt very pleased to have this teaching clearly laid out by my Father today! I feel great clarity and understanding. I want to be more trusting, having no expectations of the way God's revelations may come about. I want to be more courageous and trusting of all that God confirms to me.
I then came back in my mind to my private room. I feel assured this was all from God, for I feel clarity, peace and comfort that it was given to me from God. I then closed my prayer with a thankful heart."

This is my favorite scripture on our progression before God. He will allow us to go as fast as we are able, and will teach us along the way to be faithful in what he leads us to do and how to act. Once we act in obedience to one thing, then he leads us to the next, step by step, as fast as we are able to act and receive from him. See my notes on 1 Nephi 3:7.

Doctrine & Covenants 112:23-26
23 Verily, verily, I say unto you, darkness covereth the earth, and gross darkness the minds of the people, and all flesh has become corrupt before my face.
24 Behold, vengeance cometh speedily upon the inhabitants of the earth, a day of wrath, a day of burning, a day of desolation, of weeping, of mourning, and of lamentation; and as a whirlwind it shall come upon all the face of the earth, saith the Lord.
25 And upon my house shall it begin, and from my house shall it go forth, saith the Lord;
26 First among those among you, saith the Lord, who have professed to know my name and have not known me, and have blasphemed against me in the midst of my house, saith the Lord.
39C1-39C11: "Last night I went back to the area above the lake at God's Loving Healing Center. I prayed, and only Heavenly Mother came. She was visibly upset! She said Heavenly Father was upset too, and was away trying to fix things, or remedy the situation.
I asked her if I would be allowed to know the cause of their being upset. It was quite alarming to me! Her visage was very distressed, and she even said that she was not in a position to respond to my prayer.
After repeatedly hearing her, and asking if I could come to understand what was upsetting her, here is what she said:
'Raphael, we are pleased with you, and generally with our angels. We are upset with our church members, those of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints! We knew all along this was coming, as we do everything. However, when we are actually in the moment of it upon us, we have feelings more pronounced. This is what has happened now.
The members of our church have gotten into a cycle of trusting others, particularly their leaders, without asking us if their leaders are correctly leading them along. This circumvents their salvation and direction from us. There is such a prevalent feeling of 'trusting in the prophet' that they rarely ask us any more what is right!
We have given them their own reason, logic, and all their brain capacity to work through any issue they may be confronted with, in prayer before us. However, it is now so rare that our Saints ask us, or seek the truth, or use their mental capacities as they should. Our desire is that they come unto us in prayer, trusting us, and not man, and even their leaders. They are also to use their own reasoning power and faith together, in reaching their conclusions. Their overall behavior in this thing is disgusting to us!
In addition, there is an LDS culture which has developed, that you have recently felt and discussed with your wife. This is spoken of in D&C 58:26-33:
"For behold, it is not meet that I should command in all things; for he that is compelled in all things, the same is a slothful and not a wise servant; wherefore he receiveth no reward.
Verily I say, men should be anxiously engaged in a good cause, and do many things of their own free will, and bring to pass much righteousness;
For the power is in them, wherein they are agents unto themselves. And inasmuch as men do good they shall in nowise lose their reward.
But he that doeth not anything until he is commanded, and receiveth a commandment with doubtful heart, and keepeth it with slothfulness, the same is damned.
Who am I that made man, saith the Lord, that will hold him guiltless that obeys not my commandments?
Who am I, saith the Lord, that have promised and have not fulfilled?
I command and men obey not; I revoke and they receive not the blessing.
Then they say in their hearts: This is not the work of the Lord, for his promises are not fulfilled. But wo unto such, for their reward lurketh beneath, and not from above."
This scripture is exactly what most of our Saints are practicing. They won't serve beyond their official calling in the church, including free-will Christian service. Their cliques and judgments are used upon others, whom they feel are 'out of line', because they don't conform to their rigid views of how a good member should act. This too is very upsetting to us.
The judgments that we bring upon them are spoken of also in scripture. D&C 112:24-26-
"Behold, vengeance cometh speedily upon the inhabitants of the earth, a day of wrath, a day of burning, a day of desolation, of weeping, of mourning, and of lamentation; and as a whirlwind it shall come upon all the face of the earth, saith the Lord.
And upon my house shall it begin, and from my house shall it go forth, saith the Lord;
First among those among you, saith the Lord, who have professed to know my name and have not known me, and have blasphemed against me in the midst of my house, saith the Lord."
Isaiah spoke also of our exact feelings in Isaiah 1:2-6, 11-20-
"Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the Lord hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.
The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his masters crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.
Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the Lord, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.
Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.
To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the Lord: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.
When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?
Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.
Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.
And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.
Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;
Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:
But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it."
Raphael, you have done as we have asked and prompted you. You have not trusted man, or your leaders at church, but have inquired of us, and have confirmed all truth. This is how we want our Saints to act before us. There are many of our elect that are now in this trap, of blindly following and trusting others. We have a plan to upset their world so that they will hopefully change their ways, and come unto us, their God.
Oh, I yearn after my children who have been misguided and are not coming to us in meaningful worship, prayer and action! How long can we tolerate this behavior?'
With that, Heavenly Mother was still very upset. I stood and put my arm around her shoulder, and leaned my head onto her shoulder. I felt such understanding and compassion for her!
I have been thinking of our interchange a lot since then. I hope I expressed in writing how poignant were her feelings, how distressed she was with her children who ought to act better!"
43B6-43B25: "Heavenly Father then stepped forward. I looked into his eyes and they were sober and yet gentle, wanting I think, to help me understand something very important. He spoke to my mind words like this:
'Raphael, you have asked about what in the Stake President's message was false yesterday at the sacrament meeting you attended.
Those who lead my church, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, have lost their priesthood connection with us. This has occurred in the way that is recorded in D&C 121:34-40:
"Behold, there are many called, but few are chosen. And why are they not chosen?
Because their hearts are set so much upon the things of this world, and aspire to the honors of men, that they do not learn this one lesson
That the rights of the priesthood are inseparably connected with the powers of heaven, and that the powers of heaven cannot be controlled nor handled only upon the principles of righteousness.
That they may be conferred upon us, it is true; but when we undertake to cover our sins, or to gratify our pride, our vain ambition, or to exercise control or dominion or compulsion upon the souls of the children of men, in any degree of unrighteousness, behold, the heavens withdraw themselves; the Spirit of the Lord is grieved; and when it is withdrawn, Amen to the priesthood or the authority of that man.
Behold, ere he is aware, he is left unto himself, to kick against the pRs, to persecute the saints, and to fight against God.
We have learned by sad experience that it is the nature and disposition of almost all men, as soon as they get a little authority, as they suppose, they will immediately begin to exercise unrighteous dominion.
Hence many are called, but few are chosen."
Raphael, there have been repeated times of cover-up for actions that would have been embarrassing to the church and/or the involvement of the leaders themselves. The leading quorums of the church have not asked of me, but have moved to protect their own positions of authority and power. These leaders have advanced in their secret cover-ups to fulfill the scripture of 'covering their sins, gratifying their pride, their vain ambition, and in exercising control and dominion and compulsion upon the souls of men and women in unrighteous ways'. We have no choice except to withdraw our presence. The Spirit of the Lord has been grieved, and the heavens have closed to them. They are now without our presence or our authority, and their priesthood and authority is cut off from us. They are now left to themselves, in fighting against us unless they soon repent and change their behavior. As a group, they continue to pursue a path to cover-up the truth.
These actions have been in secret counsels, together as a whole. These have been from the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of my church. The other leading quorums and presidencies sustain all of their decisions.
Raphael, these abominable and sinful actions have been happening more and more over recent years. We have gradually withdrawn our presence, and have tried repeatedly to reach these brethren who were called to lead and serve in our church. However, they have continued in their actions, which cut us off from influencing them.
We have therefore withdrawn ourselves from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints more and more. Generally, our presence and our Spirit no longer reside in their meetings, in the temples, in the conferences. We come when an individual sincerely approaches us in humility, seeking our guidance and direction, or when seeking a witness to truth. However, we have largely departed from our restored church.
We are grieved and greatly saddened by the actions of these our leaders and of our people.
The Stake President yesterday talked about priesthood keys. These have been removed by virtue of sin and cover-up. This is why almost all of his talk was untrue.
There are some of the apostles who have individually approached us in the sincerity of their heart, asking for forgiveness and our direction. However, these individuals have not as yet publicly gone against their quorum decisions to cover-up sin, pride, and unrighteous dominion and compulsion.
There is also a different standard of conduct by which the leading authorities of the church live by than that which is required for all the remaining members of the church. This is also not acceptable to us, and needs to be corrected.
We will move in cleansing our church, as a whirlwind, at the time of our choosing.
See D&C 112:23-26:
"Verily, verily, I say unto you, darkness covereth the earth, and gross darkness the minds of the people, and all flesh has become corrupt before my face.
Behold, vengeance cometh speedily upon the inhabitants of the earth, a day of wrath, a day of burning, a day of desolation, of weeping, of mourning, and of lamentation; and as a whirlwind it shall come upon all the face of the earth, saith the Lord.
And upon my house shall it begin, and from my house shall it go forth, saith the Lord;
First among those among you, saith the Lord, who have professed to know my name and have not known me, and have blasphemed against me in the midst of my house, saith the Lord."
For you, and for our mortal angels, we desire that you continue to seek our face and receive direction and guidance from our hand.'
Later:
I recently finished writing the above information given to me by my Heavenly Father. My wife just stepped out on an errand and I am left alone. I knelt down to pray, and went to the top of the switchback path, overlooking the lake to the east in God's Loving Healing Center.
I prayed again to my Heavenly Parents. They came in front of me. I looked into their eyes, and they were soft and saddened, each wet with recent tears it seemed. I asked them whether I recorded properly all the words of my Heavenly Father. I received a clear confirmation that this was all true.
I think the recent tears in their eyes are there because they know that this will greatly affect my life and those of all the mortal angels. They confirmed also to me that they would manifest the truth of what I have written, to each one who sincerely and humbly asks them in prayer, with an open heart. I see how hard this will be for each one of us who are members of this church!
I feel too, that each of our future paths will be different. For me, I am already at 'arms length' from the LDS church, having been led to distance myself gradually, over the past few years. I weekly attend sacrament meeting, and feel so glad to be able to connect in with God at that special time.
Others of the mortal angels will have to grapple with what they should do. First, they should verify that I speak the truth, gaining a witness directly from God. Then they should figure out what to do next in their personal life. I think many of us will be led, one step at a time-something that our Heavenly Parents would want to do for each of us, as we come unto them and are open to their direction.
There are lots and lots of questions that I have. I have been directed to ask while I write, and then my Heavenly Parents said that they would give me their response as I write the answers to these questions.
Here are the questions:
Q- How long has corruption in the leading councils of the church been going on?
A- Ever since the prophet Joseph Smith organized the church, Satan has attempted to make inroads to control those leaders and to turn them against the direction they receive from God.
In recent years the cover-ups have become more pronounced and frequent. Those doctrines which have been manipulated and changed to fit the desires of the leaders have been left in place, largely uncorrected. More and more has changed over the years. Now it is to the point that a majority of the doctrines are affected, particularly with those affecting money, power and control.
Q- If the Spirit of the Lord, and the presence of God have been removed in large measure, where then do we go to worship?
A- Worship in your quiet places, in the celestial world, in your sacrament meetings, in your families and with like-minded friends. These are very difficult times.
Q- Why has God allowed these corruptions and conspiracies against the membership of the church to continue?
A- The purpose of mortality is to test our children and to give them invaluable experience. What better way to have them depend on us, and to continue to verify with us in prayer the truth of all things, than to allow deception and deceit to creep into our very own church? This will be the sieve through which many will be sifted who do not ask of God. Insurrection from within the church is the hardest to discern and to rout out.
We allowed a deceiver to infiltrate the original twelve that Jesus chose for his apostles. The church in the time of Jesus was very corrupt, and had moved far away from our original teachings and laws. We allowed our Beloved Son to come to earth during this day of great apostasy. We allowed the early church of the apostles, to disintegrate and be removed from the earth. Your day is no different with the intrigues of man-we have allowed man to act, as they desire, thus cutting us off from influencing them, more and more. This is all part of the mortal experience and test.
Q- Should I share this with the mortal angels?
A- Not yet. Prepare this as a hidden post but do not share it. When the time is appropriate, I will let you know with whom to share this information.
Q- Is the LDS Church still going to be the terrestrial church in the millennium?
A- Yes-after the cleansing. There are some narrow passages for it to go through to become the Church of Christ, which it will be renamed. (Note: this answer has been more appropriately answered in later posts as the Church of Christ, not the LDS Church.)"
44G2-44G4: "Heavenly Father spoke to me:
'Raphael, we accept the covenant that you have made before us, to take upon you the name of our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, to always remember us, and to keep our commandments.
It has been one week now since you have sent out the cover-up post. This has been hard on some of the mortal angels to receive and accept. However, as many as have asked us in sincere prayer, have received our witness to their heart and mind.
We are pleased that you have fully accepted this truth, and are now prepared to act in whatever we ask of you to do. We desire all of our angels to 'wean themselves from the milk, and draw themselves from the breasts' of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and the culture in which they live (see Isaiah 28:9 "Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts."). Our desire is to have each of them come unto us, and receive all truth from our very mouths. For very soon, we will come down and initiate the cleansing of our own church, and then of the world (see D&C 112:24-26).
This information about the cover-up and transgression, at the highest levels of our church, needs to be made known and accepted by our mortal angels. The timing of the revealing of this information has been fully orchestrated by us. We will use our holy angels in our strange work in these last days. (see D&C 101:95 "That I may proceed to bring to pass my act, my strange act, and perform my work, my strange work, that men may discern between the righteous and the wicked, saith your God.", and Isaiah 28:21 "For the Lord shall rise up as in mount Perazim, he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act.", and D&C 95:4 "For the preparation wherewith I design to prepare mine apostles to prune my vineyard for the last time, that I may bring to pass my strange act, that I may pour out my Spirit upon all flesh"). This includes the cleansing and the restoration of all things, including the land of Zion and the New Jerusalem, that will soon be founded upon the land."
56F16-56F25: "Heavenly Mother spoke first:
'Raphael, we accept the covenant you have made with us, to take upon yourself the name of our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ (she looked to her right to Jesus), to always remember your Father and me, and to keep our commandments.
What your Heavenly Father told you this morning in your prayer with us is true. You have wondered if you heard and saw correctly, and have asked if these revelations were truly from us. Raphael, tribulations are coming quickly upon the inhabitants of the earth, and upon our church on the earth. However, we have withdrawn our presence and our Spirit from this church, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, in large measure, because of their departure from us, their God.
There will be tribulations in rapid successions upon the inhabitants of the earth. The scripture in D&C 112:24 will soon be fulfilled as our great displeasure is poured out upon the earth without measure.
D&C 112:24-"Behold, vengeance cometh speedily upon the inhabitants of the earth, a day of wrath, a day of burning, a day of desolation, of weeping, of mourning, and of lamentation; and as a whirlwind it shall come upon all the face of the earth, saith the Lord."
Many of our elect are in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We will guide these and answer their prayers as they come unto us in humility.
Each will be tested in their extremities during their tribulations. We will be aware of their severe hardships, and when they have proven themselves in obedience. Our Beloved Son will approve them for entrance into our kingdom and into our Church of the Firstborn. They will then come to you and Oriphiel for their initial ordinance, the waters of separation.
Raphael, you have been obedient, true and faithful, and are fully ready to receive revelation upon revelation as we direct much of the work through you.'
The Priest then blessed the water back in the ward. I next saw and heard Jesus Christ speak to me in that celestial world:
'Raphael, we give experiences to every one on the earth. We watch and carefully weigh how God's children act in their probationary experiences. We are all three very involved in this process. When we have thoroughly tried them, I approve them for entry into our church and kingdom. I will tell you and Oriphiel of those who are approved and accepted as candidates for entry into the Church of the Firstborn.
We will never abandon our child in their tribulation if they come unto us. It will be difficult, but we will be with them all along their journey to our presence.'
Heavenly Father then spoke to me before the sacrament ended:
'Raphael, we stand ready to give you daily direction and guidance as the world enters this difficult time of tribulation.'"
94G11-94G13, from Heavenly Father: "He spoke immediately to me:
'Raphael, I am sorry for the destruction of our forests in your local area from all the fires. We have angels now who are waiting on our directions to control weather and calamities on the earth. We initiate this now since the people will not repent and are far from us. They have become caught up with the pleasures of the world. They love to follow Satan more than us, their Heavenly Parents. There are few who seek us diligently in humble prayer, and wait for us to respond and to lead them. We have now come out of our hiding place and began to vex the nations and peoples of this earth, including those Latter-day Saints in your immediate area.
The worldwide calamities are increasing significantly. We have told our Beloved Son and our angels, to begin the desolations now more and more on the earth.
D&C 112:24-26
"Behold, vengeance cometh speedily upon the inhabitants of the earth, a day of wrath, a day of burning, a day of desolation, of weeping, of mourning, and of lamentation; and as a whirlwind it shall come upon all the face of the earth, saith the Lord.
And upon my house shall it begin, and from my house shall it go forth, saith the Lord;
First among those among you, saith the Lord, who have professed to know my name and have not known me, and have blasphemed against me in the midst of my house, saith the Lord."
We command our mortal angels in their unconscious minds so that they are not aware in their conscious minds. These commands include bringing the calamities upon the earth, using our power.'
I thanked my Heavenly Father for all his words, spoken in soberness before me."
107E15-107E22: "This morning, I came to the tree of life by God's temple in heaven. I was under the canopy of this beautiful tree. I partook of the fruit and found it made me feel happy, enlightened and filled with light. I felt very transparent and very clear. I knelt and faced the white gate in the distance to the south and the straight and narrow path that came from the gate to the tree. I did not see any river of water, but I did see the rod of iron next to the path. I then asked for my Heavenly Parents to come. I then saw them in the distance, near the white gate, conversing with their Son, Jesus Christ. This was a good distance away, but I could somehow see or perceive them up close and even hear their words.
From Heavenly Father to Jesus Christ: 'Our Beloved Son, we are now ready to unleash our power, like a whirlwind, upon the wicked, to cleanse the earth and make it ready for your coming in glory. We have ramped up the spiritual communication with our elect also, and are quietly gathering them, one by one. It is time now for you to more fully begin your destruction upon the nations and to unleash your son, John the beloved, to trash the nations by the rod of his power.'
I then heard Jesus speak: 'Father, Mother, I will do all you have asked me to do at this time!'
Then I saw Heavenly Father and Jesus embrace, followed by Heavenly Mother and Jesus embracing. I perceived a tear in all of their eyes, for they love their children who had turned away from them and were following Satan, which mortal children would all soon be destroyed.
At this time in my vision, Heavenly Mother came in front of me under the canopy of the tree and spoke: 'Raphael, what you have witnessed and written in your journal this morning is all true about the way we communicate to our children. You have also seen and written correctly the conversation between the Father and our Son near the white gate.
This scripture will soon be fulfilled: D&C 112:23-26-"Verily, verily, I say unto you, darkness covereth the earth, and gross darkness the minds of the people, and all flesh has become corrupt before my face. Behold, vengeance cometh speedily upon the inhabitants of the earth, a day of wrath, a day of burning, a day of desolation, of weeping, of mourning, and of lamentation; and as a whirlwind it shall come upon all the face of the earth, saith the Lord. And upon my house shall it begin, and from my house shall it go forth, saith the Lord; First among those among you, saith the Lord, who have professed to know my name and have not known me, and have blasphemed against me in the midst of my house, saith the Lord."'
Heavenly Mother had spoken! She stood very much intent on emphasizing to me the soberness of her message. She wasn't smiling, but filled with bright light and great glory!
She suddenly departed. I was no longer at the tree of life, but back in my recliner chair in my adjacent bedroom. I know what I have written to be true and not from me, but from God. I closed my prayer and began my new day."
107H2-107H13: "I came to the overlook point at the edge of the fir forest that is above the Father's wheat field. I could see below me the large oak tree in the northwestern part of that field. I knelt and asked my Heavenly Parents to come. I saw someone working in the field below. I realized that this was my Heavenly Father. I observed him with a sickle in his hand. I was curious how he was using this and whom the wheat represented. He soon looked up, saw me, and beamed himself up in the air right in front of me. He still had his sickle in his hand. I thought of the scripture in Revelations 14:14-20 where Christ, the Son of Man, held a sharp sickle in his hand. I had been in the white cloud on Mount Timpanogas on October 3, 2016 with my sister K (see post 28). At that time I saw Christ on the mountain with a sickle.
Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, you are correct in thinking that this sickle is the one that Jesus Christ held on Mount Zion, as spoken of in Revelations 14:14-"And I looked and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of Man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle."
Jesus Christ used this sickle to reap the earth, which was to begin the harvesting of the fully ripe grapes and to cast these into the great winepress of the wrath of God (see Revelation 14:18-19). This is spoken figuratively, and the winepress of the wrath of God is yet to be pressed. The wicked have yet to be fully removed from the righteous and cast into this winepress. We are now much closer to this happening. This is the same as the event in the parable of the wheat and tares, when the tares of the earth are to be bound in bundles, and the field remains to be burned.
D&C 86:7-"Therefore, let the wheat and the tares grow together until the harvest is fully ripe; then ye shall first gather out the wheat from among the tares, and after the gathering of the wheat, behold and lo, the tares are bound in bundles, and the field remaineth to be burned."
Raphael, I was going through my field of wheat representing the elect of God on the earth, and carefully evaluated each plant. I have yet found some tares, and these I cut down with my sickle. I have placed these aside of my field, on my road that leads to the oak tree. I have asked my angels to bind these tares in bundles, soon to be burned with fire.
D&C 86:5-"Behold, verily I say unto you, the angels are crying unto the Lord day and night, who are ready and waiting to be sent forth to reap down the fields."
The wheat is now fully ripe, ready for harvest. This means we will now soon gather them, one by one, into our safe garners. We need, however, to remove the tares from among them, separate them one by one, and bind them ready for burning. This means that the time is now at hand for calamities of all varieties to come to the earth, which calamities are aimed at destroying the wicked, the nations of the earth, and the evil establishments and organizations on the earth. Our great work in saving the elect and destroying the wicked is to be done one at a time. I know the works of each of my children, and your Heavenly Mother and I will access the hearts and works of each of our mortal children. This time of judgment in separating the wicked from the righteous is now fully at hand.'
Heavenly Father then gave me the sharp sickle to heft and feel in my hands. It had a wooden handle, and the blade was curved. It was very sharp, for I passed my thumb across it softly so as to not cut myself. The blade seemed made of fine steel.
Heavenly Father spoke again: 'Raphael, we will use this sharp sickle in separating the wicked from the righteous in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This is where my wrath will begin when it comes on the earth as a whirlwind. I will first separate those who blaspheme me in the midst of mine house. (see D&C 112:26)
Your Heavenly Mother and I will also call upon the angels to help us separate the wicked in preparation for their removal from the earth. We will work in coordination with our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, and with John the Beloved, his son, who has been commissioned to do much of the destructive work among the nations and peoples of the earth.
I gave the sickle back to my Father. He took it, smiled at me, and then said that he needed to return now to his field below. He departed and I saw him return to the same spot he was in when he first saw me this morning.
I thanked him in my mind for his great revelation to me this morning. I thanked him for showing me his sharp sickle too. He then looked up from his field below, acknowledging to me that he heard my grateful words. He continued again in his work."
143D6-143D15, from Heavenly Mother: "Raphael, you have seen in the mural this morning that our light is sent to the earth, to the hearts and minds of our children, but now so many don't receive it. "They seek not the Lord to establish his righteousness, but every man walketh in his own way, and after the image of his own god, whose image is in the likeness of the world, and whose substance is that of an idol, which waxeth old and shall perish in Babylon, even Babylon the great, which shall fall." (D&C 1:16)
These are walking in darkness at noonday (D&C 95:6), and our love and light will not continue in them, for they have rejected us; therefore they walk in darkness (see D&C 95:12).
D&C 112:23-"Verily, verily, I say unto you, darkness covereth the earth, and gross darkness the minds of the people, and all flesh has become corrupt before my face."
Raphael, the whole earth groans under this darkness and the weight of this iniquity (D&C 123:7), even like when Enoch saw and heard the voice of the earth when Jesus Christ was lifted up upon the cross: "And he heard a loud voice; and the heavens were veiled; and all the creations of God mourned; and the earth groaned; and the rocks were rent; and the saints arose, and were crowned at the right hand of the Son of Man, with crowns of glory;" (Moses 7:56).'
At this time I heard a low groaning sound coming from the mural! Both Heavenly Mother and I looked upon the earth in the mural, and we heard these words from the earth-the words in the low groaning were exactly those that Enoch heard and that is recorded in Moses 7:48-
"Wo, wo is me, the mother of men; I am pained, I am weary, because of the wickedness of my children. When shall I rest, and be cleansed from the filthiness which is gone forth out of me? When will my Creator sanctify me, that I may rest, and righteousness for a season abide upon my face?"
Heavenly Mother spoke: 'Raphael, the earth now mourns under the weight of sin and darkness! Your Father and I have endured long enough, for the entire earth and its inhabitants have been in darkness long enough. Our anger and wrath are soon to be kindled, even to destroy the darkness that grips the earth and our children who reside on her face! We will take vengeance upon the ungodly who continually reject our light and truth! We will clear away the darkness and send forth our abundant light and truth upon the earth, "to sweep the earth as with a flood, to gather out (our) elect from the four quarters of the earth." (see Moses 7:62). We will do this great sweeping of the darkness with our power, and through our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, and by our many angels and servants that we have called and commissioned with our power and strength.'
I then saw on the mural great tribulations coming to the earth. I saw earthquakes, great destructions; water heaving beyond their shores. I saw severe weather gripping the earth, and even the very earth convulsing and shaking violently under the commands of God through their servants, to destroy and cleanse the land! I saw wars, plagues, famine, and disasters of all kinds. I saw the wicked destroying the wicked until much of the evil and darkness was gone.
Heavenly Mother spoke: 'Raphael, these events all need to come so that the gross darkness may be removed from the earth and her inhabitants.
We do this great cleansing for the sake of the righteous on her surface, and for unborn elect who will soon come to the earth.'
I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her wonderful views today she gave me at this vision mural! I said I would do whatever she and Heavenly Father asked of me to do: 'Heavenly Mother, I stand ready to fulfill your will and to keep your commandments! I will always follow strictly your directions as you and Heavenly Father orchestrate the cleansing of the earth from this heavy darkness on her surface!'"
145A2-145A6: "Heavenly Father spoke:
'Raphael, your Heavenly Mother and I accept your covenant, to take upon you the name of Jesus Christ, to always remember us, and to keep our commandments.
He then came to my side and turned, and we both looked to the distance at Lake Beautiful. I could see very black skies above the lake, like dark thunderclouds.
We then were instantly together over the lake! We were above the water but below the low-lying clouds. It was dark like nighttime for so heavy and thick were the dark clouds that very little sunlight came through. I could see light on the horizons all around on the shores of the lake, but these were far away.
'Raphael, these very dark clouds represent the severe tribulations coming soon to the earth. They will increase in their greatness and heights and breadth. When the cup of my indignation begins to overflow, I will send forth the lightnings of my sore displeasure upon the inhabitants of the earth.'
We then were suddenly again above the fallen oak tree. Heavenly Father faced me and spoke again:
'Raphael, when my fierce anger comes upon the inhabitants of the earth, then those dark ominous clouds will come above this fallen oak tree below us. Then will be fulfilled the scripture in D&C 112:24-26:
"Behold, vengeance cometh speedily upon the inhabitants of the earth, a day of wrath, a day of burning, a day of desolation, of weeping, of morning, and of lamentation; and as a whirlwind it shall come upon all the face of the earth, saith the Lord.
And upon my house shall it begin, and from my house shall it go forth, saith the Lord; first among those among you, saith the Lord, who have professed to know my name, and have not known me, and have blasphemed against me in the midst of my house, saith the Lord."'"
152D17-152D21, from Heavenly Mother: "I am here today to testify also to you that the words of your Heavenly Father that you have written this morning in your journal are true. Great calamities are coming upon the earth this year. The pandemic that is now starting is the great overflowing scourge spoken of in the scriptures (see Isaiah 28:15-19, D&C 45:31-32, given below).
Isaiah 28:15-19
"Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:
Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.
From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report."
D&C 45:31-32
"And there shall be men standing in that generation, that shall not pass until they shall see an overflowing scourge; for a desolating sickness shall cover the land.
But my disciples shall stand in holy places, and shall not be moved; but among the wicked, men shall lift up their voices and curse God and die."
Everything is now in a readiness state for our terrestrial mortal elect children on the earth. These tribulations will shake their world, causing our elect to pour out their hearts to us their Gods. When they are humbled, open and receptive, we will answer their prayers and become more available and closer to them than ever before. Then we will give them personal direction and revelation. We will whisper to them by our still small voice. We will protect our own according to our will for their lives.
Among the remainder of the peoples of the earth, millions will die and the institutions and governments of men will fall. This is all part of the cleansing of the earth that begins as a whirlwind. (see D&C 112:23-24- "Verily, verily, I say unto you, darkness covereth the earth, and gross darkness the minds of the people, and all flesh has become corrupt before my face. Behold, vengeance cometh speedily upon the inhabitants of the earth, a day of wrath, a day of burning, a day of desolation, of weeping, of mourning, and of lamentation; and as a whirlwind it shall come upon all the face of the earth, saith the Lord.") It has now begun on the earth.'"
154F12-154F21: "Evening-I have thought a little tonight about the angel Moroni on top of the Salt Lake Temple which is lost his horn or trumpet today in the earthquake this morning. Is there some reason? Is this a sign?
The only thing I could think of is that the male archangels are the only ones who have been given trumpets of God, and not even Moroni. The next trumpet to sound will be from Raguel, as recorded in Revelation 8:7 on March 31st, 2020-just 14 days away if you count both the 18th and the 31st. This is two sets of 7, which is a Godly number even the number of Jesus Christ (see post 25B6).
When Raguel blows his trumpet of God, "there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth; and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up." (Revelation 8:7). I have no idea what this means!
Perhaps the angel Moroni having his trumpet shaken from his hand, atop the LDS Salt Lake Temple is a sign from Jesus Christ that he no longer recognizes this church, and has rejected this church.
I don't know if any of these thoughts are real, or are just from my imaginative mind?
I came this evening to the top spire of God's temple on the celestial orb. I never recall coming here, but it is where I felt to go today! I am trying to have a very open mind, with no preconceptions.
I knelt in the air above the spire and asked for Elohim to come. Heavenly Father then came from a part of the sky directly in front of me! His cape was blowing in the wind. He wore his scarlet-red sash, and was truly majestic! His eyes looked like they were on fire and very deep.
He spoke to me: 'Raphael, the only angels in these days that I am authorizing to blow the trumpets of God that I gave them (see your post 21G1) are you and your six other archangel brothers. In the earthquake this morning in Utah, I caused the trumpet in the statue of the angel Moroni to be knocked out of his hands. My authority and power no longer resides in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, now represented by the Salt Lake Temple. I never gave a trumpet of God to any other angel including Moroni, the last prophet of the Nephite nation. The exception is a version of a trumpet given to one of the two prophets in the holy land when you blew your trumpets at Utah Lake (see your post 23BF7 to 23BF9)
My wrath will begin upon the house, revered as God's temple in Salt Lake City, for upon this people who are not my elect and church that were once highly favored will now be poured out my wrath. It will begin "first among those among you, saith the Lord, who have professed to know my name and have not known me, and have blasphemed against me in the midst of my house, saith the Lord" (see D&C 112:26)'
I asked my Father why his cape was blowing in the wind? He answered:
'Raphael, my cape blowing represents a change coming to the earth, when the wrath of God will begin upon the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah. My wrath will begin here and from here it will spread forth as calamities of all varieties upon your land, and ultimately upon the entire earth.'
I bowed my head before my Heavenly Father, and thanked him for his message tonight! I said I would do whatever he or Heavenly Mother would ask me to do."
155D1-155D14: "Last night I prayed around midnight. We had worked hard all day long, cleaning up our pantry and getting our house in order. I then read about the pandemic for a while on the news. I know that the United States is soon going to experience so much trauma and death from this plague! I also wondered about what will happen when Raguel sounds his trumpet of God next Tuesday in the air above the Salt Lake Temple?
I prayed at the desert oasis last night. Heavenly Mother appeared before me, and comforted me. She said that the world is full of fear, but in her and Heavenly Father there is great peace. She said I was acting in ways that pleased her. Her presence was a great comfort to me.
As I went to sleep I listened to some calm music by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and the Temple Square Orchestra on my ear buds. This helped me feel more settled.
This morning I came to my private room and knelt next to the recliner. I prayed to my Heavenly Father from the little outcropping above the circling waters on the celestial orb. I could see God's temple in the distance. I poured out my heart to God, asking for protection and blessings upon my family. I prayed to know his will, and to be apprised of anything he might wish to share with me. Heavenly Father appeared before me and spoke: 'Raphael, write what I tell you in your journal.'
I then sat up and got my journal out. I then read two emails from S when I glanced at my cell phone. He had two repeated dreams with the message that 'most of the leaders (of the LDS Church) themselves are unprepared for what is coming! He also was told 'many will be injured or impaired themselves from the coming calamities.'
S also prayed about my record that Raguel would blow the trumpet of God in four directions over the Salt Lake City temple. Heavenly Mother told him this:
'Raphael's words were given to him by us. You will soon see great devastation come upon the LDS Church. It will leave many pondering and wondering its meaning. If not for these great changes, most would continue in their blind state and not be led by us their Gods. We will awaken our elect from their deep sleep. Turn all to petition us in prayer and we will pour down knowledge from heaven until it overflows. You are open to our truths and as you ask, we will answer your petitions.'
S also shared with me the church hymn "Now Let Us Rejoice." Verse three is comforting at this time:
"In faith we'll rely on the arm of Jehovah
To guide through these last days of trouble and gloom
And after the scourges and harvest are over,
We'll rise with the just when the Savior doth come."
I had S's words from his email in my mind (he later gave me permission to share his words in this post). I then came again before my Heavenly Father, ready to write his words in my journal. I then saw Heavenly Father again in my mind, and heard these words, spoken to me by Heavenly Father:
'Raphael, S is correct that great devastations are soon to come upon the leaders and the members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. When Raguel comes above the spires of the Salt Lake Temple, you and your angel brothers will also be assembled above him in the air. You will all six form a circle facing outwards. You will be facing east with your Sword of Raphael raised high above your head. Michael, the chief archangel, will face west with his sword of Michael held high above his head. The other archangels will form the circle, facing outwards between you both, with their right arms raised to the square. This circle stance will be repeated for the next three times the trumpets are blown by your brother archangels on April 30th, May 31st, and June 30th. These each will also blow their trumpets over the Salt Lake Temple spires. These will bring forth destructions upon the earth as prophesied by John the revelator in Revelation 8:7-12.
he four events of blowing the trumpets of God are in fulfillment of D&C 112:25:
"And upon my house shall it begin, and from my house shall it go forth, saith the Lord."
Raphael, over the next four months the calamities and hardships for my people and the world will become more and more difficult. Without this tribulation, coming upon the earth as a whirlwind, our elect would not have sufficient reason to be awakened from their deep sleep of complacency. We desire that each are individually brought to plead to us, their Gods, for help and direction, for revelation and protection. We will quickly answer their sincere and humble prayers, give them comfort and revelation, if they are open to receive from us.
Prepare yourself for coming in your replicated self to the air above the Salt Lake temple spires next Tuesday at 6 am. This is the time that you and all seven male archangels will assemble. Raguel will blow the first trumpet of God once you are all in place.'
Heavenly Father was finished speaking. His eternity eyes were firm and seemed to be ablaze with anger for the wickedness upon the earth. His cape was blowing behind him, and he was strikingly so majestic and powerful!
I bowed before him and acknowledged all he had revealed to me. I told him I would be there at the spires of the temple next Tuesday, March 31st at 6 am. I said I would obey all of his words and keep his every commandment!
Suddenly there was a bright flash from a dark cloud that had gathered above us. Blinding lightning struck right where my Father had been standing and then he was gone! I heard the thunder reverberate throughout the lands on the celestial orb. It then started hailing violently before me from the dark cloud, but not on me. I saw more intense and rapid lightning coming from the cloud to the land in front of me. I then thought of Revelation 8:7- "and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth."
My vision abruptly ended and I confirmed in my mind that what I had seen was true. I asked my Heavenly Father if what I had written was accurate, and he spoke to my mind: 'Raphael, you have correctly written my revelation to you today.'"
Wed, Jul 24, 2024
This scripture was partially fulfilled on the celestial orb in January, 2019. The whirlwind came upon the large oak tree on the celestial orb. The large oak tree represented the Church of Christ on the earth.
The remaining fulfillment of these verses is explained below and repeated here, from Heavenly Father: "Those who professed to be true prophets and from whom I have already cut off from my priesthood power, will one day fall, for they have blasphemed me (see verse 26). They say to my people that they have received revelation from me when they have not. They are left alone now to do their own works, cut off from our presence."
108E9-108E25, January 19, 2019, from Heavenly Father: " You have also seen how the thick fog remained around the large live oak tree. This tree represents The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It was established by revelation through the prophet Joseph Smith, Jr., our chosen revelator to the people, nearly 190 years ago. However, in recent years we have cut off our revelations to our church and its leaders, for they have turned away from our direction and counsels. They have the mighty structure of the oak tree, but are now without the nourishment we have given in the past. The tree is now dead!'
I looked carefully at the tree below us. It still had a mighty structure, but there were no more leaves! There was no more nourishment from its roots. The tree below me was standing, but dead. I wondered how this was done in the celestial world?
Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, look more carefully at its roots. We have asked the spirit of this tree to transfer into a new growing oak tree found in its roots! This is indeed a resurrected tree, but is still changing shape and structure. The new growing roots represent the new Church of Christ, soon to be reestablished on the earth.
I then looked more carefully at the roots of this oak tree, from the overlook where we were standing. I saw that deep in the ground, hidden from view, there were roots that were alive and thriving from the rich nourishment of the soil. I believe I saw this growth from my spirit sense. As I was looking at the roots, a mighty whirlwind came up and blew fiercely upon the field and upon the oak tree. The wheat in the field bent over and it seemed like waves of wind came across the field. The individual stalks of wheat held fast in the wind and survived just fine.
I then looked at the oak tree. It started to tip and then, in a mighty crash, fell to the ground towards Heavenly Father and me! The top of the branches almost reached us as it crashed down. This was a dramatic fall! I could see over the tree to its exposed roots that were sticking up in the air, now exposed. I could perceive the deep roots that had been growing were still intact and separated from the ones in the air.
Heavenly Father spoke: 'Come Raphael, let's go to the base of my oak tree.' We then moved over the branches of the once mighty oak tree. I could clearly see they were dry, covered with moss and even infected, it seemed, with disease. The branches were brittle with no life.
We came to the ground next to the uprooted tree. The roots in the air were also dry. I reached up to one and it snapped before me. I had never seen such a dead brittle tree. I thought that must have been dead for years!
Heavenly Father then walked into the hole vacated by the roots. I came next to him. He pointed to the roots below his feet and spoke: 'Raphael, here are the living roots that I have preserved, into which the spirit of this mighty oak tree has gone. Let us clear the way for these roots to grow into a new mighty oak tree, our restored Church of Christ that will remain during the entire millennium!'
Heavenly Father reached down with his hands and moved soil over the exposed living roots. He said he would not bury these too deeply, but as the roots started to grow again he would fill in more soil around them. He said he would do this carefully until the roots were again at the level surface of the field. At that time he would wait, and the tree would then come forth from the ground. He said that this would be the time when Joseph would again transfer the keys of the kingdom of God on earth to the newly called leaders of the Church of Christ. The church would then grow quickly in the sunshine of true revelation from Jesus Christ.
Heavenly Father and I came up from the hole to the level ground. Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, I will leave this dead oak tree on the ground as a memorial until near the time that new live oak tree comes out of the ground as a new tree. In the meantime, our elect children in this Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will need to receive all their revelation from us, their Gods, and no longer from their fallen leaders. We will abundantly give them the sunshine of our revelations to guide and protect them. Oh, we love them so very much!'
I could see a tear in my Heavenly Father's eyes! I knew he and Heavenly Mother loved their elect children so very much and fully accepted their elect just as they were at this time. They wanted their elect to hear their voice and obey them so that they could safely guide them to safe places, spiritually and physically. Heavenly Father spoke again: 'Raphael, the mighty whirlwind spoken of in D&C 112:24-26 is that same whirlwind you saw in my field that tipped the dead oak tree over:
D&C 112:24-26 "Behold, vengeance cometh speedily upon the inhabitants of the earth, a day of wrath, a day of burning, a day of desolation, of weeping, of mourning, and of lamentation; and as a whirlwind it shall come upon all the face of the earth, saith the Lord.
And upon my house shall it begin, and from my house shall it go forth, saith the Lord.
First among those among you, saith the Lord, who have professed to know my name and have not known me, and have blasphemed against me in the midst of my house, saith the Lord."
Raphael, do not weep, mourn or lament over the fall of this mighty oak tree (see verse 24 above), for it was needful to clear out the bad, the untrue doctrine, the false traditions that infested this fallen oak tree, so that the pure and holy new live oak tree could spring forth in its place. Those who professed to be true prophets and from whom I have already cut off from my priesthood power, will one day fall, for they have blasphemed me (see verse 26). They say to my people that they have received revelation from me when they have not. They are left alone now to do their own works, cut off from our presence.'
I stood in awe of this vision I had just experienced with my Heavenly Father at his wheat field! I looked again at the fallen oak tree. It reminded me of the fallen oak tree I had seen at the Oak Alley Plantation. There had been a recent wind I think that blew this isolated tree at the end of the parking lot. It had split and crashed some nearby picnic tables! Scary! I thanked my Heavenly Father for his wonderful revelation and demonstration before me this morning! I said how much I loved him and wanted to always hear his voice and keep his commandments.
Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, if any of my elect wish to view this fallen dead oak tree, I will show them what you have seen, or at least the memorial of this fallen tree. It will help them believe in my words to you today and know that we truly speak to them individually with the sunshine of our revelations. This should help the fog of doubt and unbelief to disperse from their minds!'"
See also my notes about the remains of the oak tree burning with an exceeding great fire in 108F12-108F15, January 20, 2019, given in D&C 85:8.

31 Which power you hold, in connection with all those who have received a dispensation at any time from the beginning of the creation;
32 For verily I say unto you, the keys of the dispensation, which ye have received, have come down from the fathers, and last of all, being sent down from heaven unto you.
Sun, Sep 24, 2023
These are the keys originally held by the church leaders when Joseph Smith was alive. Since his death, some of these keys remained, and some were removed at his and Hyrum's deaths. The keys with the twelve remained, but the keys with the First Presidency were removed. The keys inherent with the Melchizedek Priesthood also remained with each worthy priesthood holder.

Doctrine & Covenants 113:1-6
1 Who is the Stem of Jesse spoken of in the 1st, 2d, 3d, 4th, and 5th verses of the 11th chapter of Isaiah?
2 Verily thus saith the Lord: It is Christ.
3 What is the rod spoken of in the first verse of the 11th chapter of Isaiah, that should come of the Stem of Jesse?
4 Behold, thus saith the Lord: It is a servant in the hands of Christ, who is partly a descendant of Jesse as well as of Ephraim, or of the house of Joseph, on whom there is laid much power.
5 What is the root of Jesse spoken of in the 10th verse of the 11th chapter?
6 Behold, thus saith the Lord, it is a descendant of Jesse, as well as of Joseph, 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.
53T2-53T7: "Q- In Isaiah 11:1, when it speaks of a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a branch growing out of his roots-is this John the Beloved, the literal son of Jesus Christ in the flesh?
Isaiah 11:1- "And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots"
A- Yes, this is John the Beloved. See also D&C 113:1-6. Jesus Christ is the stem of Jesse, and the rod spoken of in Isaiah 11:1 is correctly described in D&C 113:3-4-
"What is the rod spoken of in the first verse of the 11th chapter of Isaiah, that should come of the Stem of Jesse?
Behold, thus saith the Lord: It is a servant in the hands of Christ, who is partly a descendant of Jesse as well as of Ephraim, or of the house of Joseph, on whom there is laid much power."
Q- What is the root of Jesse spoken of in D&C 113:6? Is this also John the Beloved? A- Yes. The rod of Jesse and the root of Jesse are the same man even John the Beloved. The reason why these are two different names, a rod and a root, is because John has two missions in these last days. The rod refers to his power in slaying the wicked as described in Isaiah 11:4, when he John will smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall slay the wicked. This is all done prior to the return of Jesus Christ to the earth in glory.
The root of Jesse, also John the Beloved, will be a mission of gathering the elect of God from the dispersed of Israel from the four quarters of the earth. John will also lead the lost ten tribes from the land of the north, as referred to in Isaiah 11:16-"And there shall be an highway for the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria; like as it was to Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt."
Q- What does D&C 113:6 mean when talking about the root of Jesse (John the Beloved), that he has the rights of the priesthood and keys of the kingdom? A- From Heavenly Father: 'Raphael, there was one other person who was an active participant at Adam-Ondi-Ahman, in the celestial spirit realms, and this was John the Beloved. In order for him to also hold the keys of gathering of Israel, which John will do in his role as a root of Jesse (see Isaiah 11:10-12 and D&C 113:5-6), he needs to also receive these keys. You were bestowed the keys of the gathering of Israel, from our Beloved Son Jesus Christ in June 2017. When you returned these keys back to Jesus Christ, you returned all of these keys and also retained them. However, you separately conferred the keys of the gathering of Israel at Adam-Ondi-Ahman to John the Beloved, who then returned them to Jesus Christ. John the Beloved now also holds the keys of the gathering of Israel, as do you, and does Jesus Christ, our Beloved. It was needful for John the Beloved to receive these keys of the gathering of Israel in order for him to fulfill his role as the root of Jesse.'"

5 What is the root of Jesse spoken of in the 10th verse of the 11th chapter?
6 Behold, thus saith the Lord, it is a descendant of Jesse, as well as of Joseph, 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.
Mon, Dec 4, 2023
This is a descendent of Christ (from Jesse) and Ephraim (from Mary Madeleine , wife of Jesus). This is John the Beloved, son in the flesh of Jesus Christ and Mary Madeleine. He is translated, and therefore mortal, not having tasted of death. He is the Rod of Jesse. See 54B5-8. See also my note on D&C 7:7.
Mon, Mar 4, 2024
This individual is John the Beloved. He has been conferred the keys of the kingdom, along with Raphael. These keys were exercised by Raphael in the Light of a Thousand Suns event on May 16th, 2021 (see 194H1 to 104H32), in establishing the kingdom of God on the earth, preparatory to the second coming of Jesus Christ.

Doctrine & Covenants 113:7-8
7 Questions by Elias Higbee: What is meant by the command in Isaiah, 52d chapter, 1st verse, which saith: Put on thy strength, O Zion, and what people had Isaiah reference to?
8 He had reference to those whom God should call in the last days, who should hold the power of priesthood to bring again Zion, and the redemption of Israel; and to put on her strength is to put on the authority of the priesthood, which she, Zion, has a right to by lineage; also to return to that power which she had lost.
102I3-102I7, from Heavenly Father: "One of the scriptures that you sought for last night that has been hidden from the view of our people and that has just been fulfilled is found in D&C 113:7-8:
"Questions by Elias Higgle: What is meant by the command in Isaiah, 52d chapter, 1st verse, which saith: Put on thy strength, O Zion--and what people had Isaiah reference to?
He had reference to those whom God should call in the last days, who should hold the power of priesthood to bring again Zion, and the redemption of Israel; and to put on her strength is to put on the authority of the priesthood, which she, Zion, has a right to by lineage; also to return to that power which she had lost."
Zion had temporarily been established by this latter-day church, established by Joseph Smith in 1830. However, only recently the leaders have rejected me, so I have rejected them. Their priesthood and keys have been taken or lost, as spoken of in the end of verse 8. This is not referring to the dark ages after the first Church of Christ was established shortly after Jesus' death and resurrection, but it refers to the second Church of Christ established by Joseph Smith, Jun.
In a short time, your Heavenly Mother, Jesus Christ our Beloved Son, and I will call upon others to establish again our Church of Christ, the third time. Her role will, in part, be to gather Israel. Her strength will be the power and authority of my priesthood, which the second Church of Christ has already lost.
The proclamation of my Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, as recorded in D&C 124:32, that the church would be rejected, with their dead, was fulfilled because the people would not do as he stated. He stated in D&C 124:34 that their "baptisms would not be acceptable unto me." That too has been fulfilled in deed, after the current church leaders rejected our purposes and would not receive that which we wanted to reveal to the church, even that of the office of high priestess.
It will be through this third Church of Christ that we will have my priesthood power restored to the earth. This is what Isaiah had reference to in Isaiah 52:1-3:
"Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean.
Shake thyself from the dust; arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion.
For thus saith the Lord, Ye have sold yourselves for nought; and ye shall be redeemed without money."
Isaiah had reference to these times you live in. The men of my people need to shake themselves from the dust, to arise and sit down. This means to open their hearts and minds to the fact that the priesthood and keys have been removed from the general level leadership of the second Church of Christ, even the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They need to accept the establishment of the new third Church of Christ, and the priesthood power that will be reestablished through their priesthood power, becoming awake to my power that I will show through them."
See also my notes in Isaiah 52:1-3
Thu, Dec 14, 2023
The power of the priesthood, which had been lost through transgression, will be fully restored in the Church of Christ, the millennial terrestrial church, and in the Church of the Firstborn, the celestial church. These will be the elect of God who will hold the priesthood of the Father and high priestess authority of Heavenly Mother. They will have power from their authority from God to do all things according to His will as the Spirit shall direct them.

Doctrine & Covenants 115:6
6 And that the gathering together upon the land of Zion, and upon her stakes, may be for a defense, and for a refuge from the storm, and from wrath when it shall be poured out without mixture upon the whole earth.
Sat, Nov 12, 2011
The storm of burning (worldwide economic collapse and nuclear attack on the US) and plagues are to be poured out on all nations.
191C8-191C9, from Heavenly Mother: "D&C 115:6
"And that the gathering together upon the land of Zion (in the terrestrial realms of the earth), and upon her stakes (these are the future stakes of Zion), may be for a defense, and for a refuge from the storm (on the telestial earth where the wicked and Satan are raging), and from wrath (the wrath of God) when it shall be poured out without mixture upon the whole earth." (words in parentheses from Heavenly Mother).
Raphael, our great secret is to withdraw our elect into the terrestrial realms of the earth prior to the glorious second coming of Jesus Christ. These elect will therefore be able to abide the day of the coming of their Lord (see D&C 35:21), whereas the wicked we will destroy as the telestial world is destroyed on the earth."

Doctrine & Covenants 116:1
1 Spring Hill is named by the Lord Adam-ondi-Ahman, because, said he, it is the place where Adam shall come to visit his people, or the Ancient of Days shall sit, as spoken of by Daniel the prophet.
53A1-53A19: "I prayed for Elohim to come, and my Heavenly Parents came. Jesus was not there this time. I looked into their eyes and faces-they were so comforting to me, just to have them before me!
I thanked them for my abundant blessings, particularly to be in their presence. I again confirmed that the web post #52 that I sent last night was pleasing to them.
I asked some questions about what L mentioned in an email to me on 6-15-2017. She said in her email that "some significant ordinances have taken place this week regarding the opening of Adam-Ondi- Ahman." I prayed about what she said.
Here is what I received, about Adam-Ondi-Ahman:
There was already a meeting at Adam-Ondi-Ahman on 6-7-2017, in the morning! I was there in my unconscious mind, but it hadn't been revealed to me until L tipped me off. I was an active participant in the meeting.
There were also heads of dispensations attending too, including Michael or Adam, Noah or Gabriel, Enoch, Abraham, Moses, Jesus Christ, and Joseph Smith were there.
This meeting was in fulfillment of Daniel 7:13-14 and D&C 116:1
Daniel 7:13-14-
"I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed."
D&C 116:1-
"Spring Hill is named by the Lord Adam-Ondi-Ahman, because, said he, it is the place where Adam shall come to visit his people, or the Ancient of Days shall sit, as spoken of by Daniel the prophet."
There were no leader representatives of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints there, except for Joseph Smith the prophet.
There were angels about us too, on the 'sidelines', watching and recording the events. All the remaining male and all the female archangels were there.
In this small meeting, Michael asked those attending to sustain him as the head of the human family, and one also possessing all the keys to all dispensations since his day on the earth to the present day. All raised their right arm to the square, and said yes. I noted that I did the same.
Michael then came before Jesus Christ, our Savior, and bent his right knee and bowed his head before Jesus Christ. He then said:
'My Savior, Jesus Christ, I come to thee now requesting the privilege to return to thee, all the keys of the human family and the keys of all dispensations, that I possess.'
The great Jehovah then spoke:
'Yes, Michael my son, it is time to return them back to me, as directed by our Father.'
Adam or Michael then stood, and Jesus then knelt before him, and Michael returned his keys back to Jesus Christ, by the laying on of hands, using words like this:
'Jesus Christ, the great Redeemer of mankind, I return the keys of the human family, and all the keys of dispensations, back to thee, as directed by the Father. In the name of the Father, in the name of the Mother, and in the name of the Son, Jesus Christ, Amen.'
At that time our glorious Father and Mother in heaven appeared above their Beloved Son, and Heavenly Father spoke these words:
'All the keys are now returned again upon our Beloved Son on the earth. He now has the full commission and authority to gather our elect from all the ends of the earth, preparatory to returning to the earth in great glory.'
All of us in the meeting then knelt before Jesus Christ, Heavenly Mother and Heavenly Father who then stood together in the air before us.
The three Deity then ascended up in the sky together. We then all dispersed from Adam-Ondi-Ahman. The meeting was concluded.
I then returned, in my mind, to my location on the mountaintop before my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother. I asked my Father:
'Oh, my Father, did I accurately record the events of the meeting at Adam-Ondi-Ahman properly in my journal this morning?'
Heavenly Father confirmed that I had recorded all correctly, and that I did not leave out any significant thing that I should know about at that time.
I then asked him if I held any keys of any dispensation. He then spoke:
'Yes, Raphael, you have been commissioned to be the one who holds the keys to the establishment of the New Jerusalem and to the Church of the Firstborn on the earth. Even though you have agreed to return these back to Michael and then to Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son, you still also actively possess this commission and these priesthood keys. This is also true with our servant Joseph Smith Junior, through whom we will establish again the Church of Christ on the earth.'
I then thanked my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother for the great privilege to receive this revelation today in my prayer. I then closed my prayer in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Later, at evening prayer: I have wondered during the day when I received the keys from God or anyone else, that Heavenly Father told me this morning that I had been given. I reread again my journal entry this morning, and my commission from my journal entry on 5-15-2017.
Here are my question:
Q- Was I bestowed keys during the commission blessing on 5-14-2017, when Heavenly Father said he was empowering me to direct God's affairs as he stated?
A- No, the Firstborn, even Jesus Christ, conferred these keys earlier that same morning before the great commission blessing. Jesus Christ conferred these keys on you in your unconscious mind in heaven, in the temple of God. He is the rightful one to confer these keys to his church, the Church of the Firstborn.
Q- So am I a head of a gospel dispensation?
A- Yes. There were eight dispensation heads at Adam-Ondi-Ahman, and you were one of them. Your dispensation falls within that dispensation conferred on Joseph Smith the prophet, and is of the Dispensation of the Fulness of Times. However, your work will far exceed the Church of Christ, established through the prophet Joseph Smith. Your work will be in the establishment of the celestial city, called the New Jerusalem, and in the establishment of the Church of the Firstborn in the New Jerusalem. This is a new dispensation in conjunction with the one established by Jesus Christ through Joseph Smith the prophet. It does not have a separate name than the one already established, but is of such significance that new keys and empowerment from God were conferred upon you. You will keep and exercise all of these keys throughout the entire Millennium, and they will not be delegated to another.
I then humbly submitted myself to my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother. I thanked them for their great trust in me, their son. I expressed my feeling of not knowing much of what I was doing, at least in my conscious state. I felt their approval upon me. I then closed my prayer in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Note: I believe that the above event at Adam-Ondi-Ahman was done on a celestial spiritual plane on the earth, and was not visible to mortals. I also believe that this event will be repeated someday in the future in the telestial/terrestrial sphere. I believe too that Adam still retained his standing as the head of the human family, even though he returned all of the keys of the human family and keys of all dispensations to Jesus Christ.
Also note that I had originally left off Moses from the list of active participants, but have since been directed to correct this."

Doctrine & Covenants 119:1-7
1 Verily, thus saith the Lord, I require all their surplus property to be put into the hands of the bishop of my church in Zion,
2 For the building of mine house, and for the laying of the foundation of Zion and for the priesthood, and for the debts of the Presidency of my Church.
3 And this shall be the beginning of the tithing of my people.
4 And after that, those who have thus been tithed shall pay one-tenth of all their interest annually; and this shall be a standing law unto them forever, for my holy priesthood, saith the Lord.
5 Verily I say unto you, it shall come to pass that all those who gather unto the land of Zion shall be tithed of their surplus properties, and shall observe this law, or they shall not be found worthy to abide among you.
6 And I say unto you, if my people observe not this law, to keep it holy, and by this law sanctify the land of Zion unto me, that my statutes and my judgments may be kept thereon, that it may be most holy, behold, verily I say unto you, it shall not be a land of Zion unto you.
7 And this shall be an ensample unto all the stakes of Zion. Even so. Amen.
158F9-158F14: "See above scripture.
I humbly came to the circling waters, and knelt in front of the bench facing south to the pool and the mountain stream. I felt very open to whatever God would tell me. I had no preconceived ideas, pushing aside what I conjectured this morning on my own.
Heavenly Father then came in front of me, walking down the path next to where I was kneeling. He immediately spoke:
'Raphael, when Jesus Christ gave the revelation in D&C 119 in 1838, we required a tenth of the interest annually of all faithful members (see D&C 119:4). This has changed, without our authorization, to later include all of the member's income, and not just a tenth of their gain above that which they needed to provide to themselves and their families. This newest twist is not pleasing to us, your Gods, on our simple doctrine to donate one tenth of their interest annually.
Now that we have rejected the leaders of the LDS Church and this church we no longer require the tithing of one tenth of the interest of the members. This will be reinstated in the Church of Christ at a future day.
In the interim, we will continue tithing after our own manner, or the manner of the Lord. I have chosen my elect which includes many members of this church that we have rejected. Your Heavenly Mother described what this day of burning would be like for those who were not tithed by me, or chosen as my elect. She said that those not chosen would be burned up, either by invading armies or by Jesus Christ himself when he comes in his great glory. The righteous who are my elect, will have gradually had all remnants of their telestial beings burned up prior to the second coming, and will abide the great day of the Lord. These will enter onto our terrestrial earth, being fully terrestrial themselves.'
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his clarifying words! I knew these words were true, for my Eternal Father spoke them directly to me with his own voice."

158F4-158F7, from Heavenly Mother: "When our Beloved Son comes to the earth in glory, he will bring this same intense light with him, this same corona flame. His light will consume any remaining telestial-level elements that remain on the earth, as the entire earth herself makes a final transition to a terrestrial glory. This burning will eliminate all telestial diseases , plagues and even our non-elect telestial children who may be still remaining on the earth. This will be in fulfillment of what our servant Moroni said to the young Joseph Smith on September 21st, 1823 in quoting Malachi 4:1-
Joseph Smith History 1:37:
"For behold, the day cometh that shall burn as an oven, and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly shall burn as stubble; for they that come shall burn them, saith the Lord of Hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch."
They that come are the wicked armies who will destroy the wicked by nuclear fire. However, Jesus Christ will complete their burning with his own fire that will destroy all remaining evil and the remnants of the fallen telestial world..
D&C 64:22-24-
"And after that day, I, the Lord, will not hold any guilty that shall go with an open heart up to the land of Zion; for I, the Lord, require the hearts of the children of men.
Behold, now it is called today until the coming of the Son of Man (this today means it is now a telestial earth), and verily it is a day of sacrifice, and a day for the tithing of my people (tithing here means the division of the people, or separation of the wheat or elect from the tares or the wicked); for he that is tithed (or separated as the elect of God) shall not be burned at his coming.
For after today cometh the burning (or after the time of the telestial elements on the earth are fully ended)this is speaking after the manner of the Lord, for verily I say, tomorrow (or the day of the Lord when Jesus comes to the earth in the glory of his presence) all the proud and they that do wickedly shall be as stubble; and I will burn them up, for I am the Lord of Hosts; and I will not spare any that remain in Babylon." (words in parenthesis from Heavenly Mother).
I thanked my Heavenly Mother for this new insight to these scriptures that I had never considered before!"

Doctrine & Covenants 119:5
5 Verily I say unto you, it shall come to pass that all those who gather unto the land of Zion shall be tithed of their surplus properties, and shall observe this law, or they shall not be found worthy to abide among you.
110H7-110H13, from Heavenly Mother: "Q2: You wrote "In recent years the cover-ups have become more pronounced and frequent. Those doctrines have been manipulated and changed to fit the desires of the leaders and have been left in place, largely uncorrected. More and more has changed over the years. Now it is to the point that the majority of the doctrines are affected, particularly those affecting money, power and control." Any examples of the doctrines affected?
A2: One example that has grown into a doctrine that does not resemble the original is tithing. This was initially given to bless our growing kingdom and church on earth, with monies donated from the excess of the abundance of our people. D&C 119:5 "Verily I say unto you, it shall come to pass that all those who gather unto the land of Zion shall be tithed of their surplus properties"
The surplus properties have always meant those that are not needed directly for the maintenance and sustenance of our people. If a man had a large family and worked hard to sustain them, and there was no surplus, he would not pay tithing since tithing was paid on the surplus, not on the properties or monies needed for the direct survival of his family and stewardship. That was the law and principle of tithing in the beginning as revealed to Joseph Smith. The doctrine of the law of tithing in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has changed dramatically since it was first revealed in 1838. Nowadays, it is expected that any increase a member gains should be tithed and given to the Church. This practice keeps the poor poor and doesn't allow a man to adequately convert his labor to the direct support of his family. We who are the Gods of all our children on earth never devised a program to take from the laborer while he still had demanding needs. Once there was a surplus, then we asked him to pay one-tenth of that surplus.
The current law of tithing in the LDS Church gleans huge amounts of money from all the members, even from the poor and indigent who can barely subsist. This is not according to our revealed law of tithing. This doctrine has morphed and grown into a doctrine of man.' (R: here is a website I found that explains some of the history of the tithing changes in the LDS Church.)
I thanked my Heavenly Mother for answering these two questions and for coming to me today at the olive tree. She then reached up and plucked off a branch of withered wild olives: 'Raphael, there is a hymn that was removed from the current LDS hymnbook. It was called most recently "Though in the Outward Church Below" or before that "The Wheat and Tares". I will throw this plucked branch into the pile of other branches to be burned, for soon I won't need them. The message of this hymn applies to the parable of the wheat and tares and to the allegory of this olive tree with wild olives.'
Heavenly Mother then threw the branch into a pile of other dried and withered branches, soon to be burned. She then left and I was alone.
Though in the Outward Church Below
words John Newton
music W.A. Mozart
Though in the outward church below
The wheat and tares together grow;
Jesus ere long will weed the crop,
And pluck the tares, in anger, up.
Will it relieve their horrors there,
To recollect their stations here?
How much they heard, how much they knew,
How long amongst the wheat they grew!
Oh! this will aggravate their case!
They perished under means of grace;
To them the word of life and faith,
Became an instrument of death.
We seem alike when thus we meet,
Strangers might think we all are wheat;
But to the Lord's all-searching eyes,
Each heart appears without disguise.
The tares are spared for various ends,
Some, for the sake of praying friends;
Others, the Lord, against their will,
Employs His counsels to fulfill.
But though they grow so tall and strong,
His plan will not require them long;
In harvest, when He saves His own,
The tares shall into hell be thrown."

Doctrine & Covenants 121:7
7 My son, peace be unto thy soul; thine adversity and thine afflictions shall be but a small moment;
177J2-177J9: "This morning I came to pray to my Heavenly Father. I came to the overlook next to the fallen oak tree and the Father's wheat field. I knelt and asked for my Heavenly Father to come to me, in answer to my prayer.
Heavenly Father appeared before me in the air! He was smiling and full of light. I asked him for blessings upon my family, that we would be strengthened and become comforted and blessed. I said that our son A. was having a very difficult time in becoming mentally and emotionally stable and well. I pled for his and Heavenly Mother's blessings of healing to come upon him and us as his caretakers.
Upon finishing my pleas before me Father, my Heavenly Father extended his hand and asked me to stand and walk with him. I stood and he put his arm around my shoulders. He then walked with me towards his wheat field. We came to the road on the north side of his field, and then he turned towards me.
He spoke these words to me: 'Raphael, daily living has been difficult recently for you, your wife and your son. These ups and downs in life are part of the telestial mortal world experiences. Your Heavenly Mother and I will not take away the difficulties in your lives, but will strengthen you in your mortal struggles and difficulties. All of our elect children will face tribulations in their lives, and will pass through hardships that come before them. In all of these difficulties we will be by your side and help you. All of these experiences will help you grow and gain needful understanding and maturity, even as came upon the prophet Joseph Smith:
D&C 121:7
"My Son, peace be unto thy soul; thine adversity and thine afflictions shall be but a small moment."
D&C 122:7,9
"...Know thou, my son, that all these things shall give thee experience, and shall be for thy good.
...fear not what man can do, for God shall be with you forever and ever."'
I felt supported and greatly loved by my Father. I felt his light come into me, accompanied by his compassion and love. I thanked him for being close to me, and helping us in our struggles.
Heavenly Father said he would stay by my side, next to his wheat field on the celestial orb, during my day on earth today. I thanked him again for his comfort and for his presence. I then closed my prayer and got started on my new day."

Doctrine & Covenants 121:26-29
26 God shall give unto you knowledge by his Holy Spirit, yea, by the unspeakable gift of the Holy Ghost, that has not been revealed since the world was until now;
27 Which our forefathers have awaited with anxious expectation to be revealed in the last times, which their minds were pointed to by the angels, as held in reserve for the fulness of their glory;
28 A time to come in the which nothing shall be withheld, whether there be one God or many gods, they shall be manifest.
29 All thrones and dominions, principalities and powers, shall be revealed and set forth upon all who have endured valiantly for the gospel of Jesus Christ.
85E2-85E4, from Heavenly Father: "'Raphael, your Heavenly Mother has shared with you information on the new name, our white stones, and more revelations never before described to man in such detail. We have revealed this to you in a prophesied day when all things would be revealed. In the scripture below the Holy Ghost is your Heavenly Mother:
D&C 121: 26-29
"God shall give unto you knowledge by his Holy Spirit, yea, by the unspeakable gift of the Holy Ghost, that has not been revealed since the world was until now;
Which our forefathers have awaited with anxious expectation to be revealed in the last times, which their minds were pointed to by the angels, as held in reserve for the fulness of their glory;
A time to come in the which nothing shall be withheld, whether there be one God or many gods, they shall be manifest.
All thrones and dominions, principalities and powers, shall be revealed and set forth upon all who have endured valiantly for the gospel of Jesus Christ."
You will receive a white stone with your new name, or password key, engraven on it, after you and your eternal companion become Gods as are we. This will greatly help you understand all things and wonders of our highest and holiest calling and position. I have your white stone already created and your new name engraven on it, Raphael. Your calling and election is made sure in our Church of the Firstborn, and thus also your exaltation in our eternal worlds."
115E3-115E5, from Heavenly Mother: "Yesterday, during your drinking of water during the sacrament, I again filled you with this discernible light, even as you have again received this morning when I came to you. Yesterday your heart started lighting up with my light also, shining forth my light to all parts of your body. I promised you yesterday that my light would forever be inside of you, both passing from me through your entire transparent body, and also from your own heart that now shines or reflects forth my light.
This is the light of my presence that you are feeling in your mortal body. You may discern the truth of all things by whether my light will shine through you and from your heart each time you ask of me a question in the sincerity of your heart. If you notice the light, it is true. Your Heavenly Father confirmed to you this and said that this was my great gift to you, the gift of the Holy Ghost. It is now more tangible and discernible to you than ever before! My Spirit will come quickly, as frequently as you request.
Raphael, I also had promised to you yesterday that all of our celestial servants might also receive this more tangible gift of my Spirit, even the Holy Ghost. They too need to be diligent so that they may know how it feels when they swallow coconut oil or drink water. At my own timing, I will come to them like I did yesterday to you, and they also will receive this very tangible gift of the Holy Ghost, in much more power and strength than they have received before.
For you, Raphael, I have fulfilled this scripture:
D&C 121:26-27
"God shall give unto you knowledge by his Holy Spirit, yea, by the unspeakable gift of the Holy Ghost, that has not been revealed since the world was until now;
Which our forefathers have awaited with anxious expectation to be revealed in the last times, which their minds were pointed to by the angels, as held in reserve for the fullness of their glory."'"
175L10-175L19: "Heavenly Father spoke to my mind: 'Raphael, you have been commissioned and ordained to receive our revelations in the Church of the Firstborn. At times you have wondered if your Heavenly Mother and I have truly inspired you to receive so many of our abundant revelations. What you have written in your many journals, stating you received from us instruction and heard our voice, is all true. You are the one on earth, even as Joseph Smith was in 1831 to the Church of Christ, to receive our revelations:
D&C 43: 3
"And this ye shall know assuredly-that there is none other appointed (Joseph Smith Jr) unto you (the elders of the church) to receive commandments and revelations until he be taken, if he abide in me." (words in parentheses from Heavenly Father)
Similarly, you Raphael, are our current prophet and spokesman for our Church of the Firstborn which is our celestial church on the earth. What you receive in prayer and write in your journal constitutes our revelations given to this church so far.
You are appointed to receive all of these revelations and commandments for the Church of the Firstborn as Joseph was to receive the revelations and commandments in the Church of Christ. (see D&C 28:2). You are to receive our word even as Joseph Smith or Moses received them in their day.
Our words flow freely into your mind in a very natural and direct way. You do not correct our words as you receive and write them, except for grammatical or spelling errors. What you write each morning and evening stands as our witness and revelations to our elect.
In turn, we will inspire and confirm to all the humble prayers of our faithful elect who ask whether your written words are from us. We will abundantly witness by our Spirit and the Holy Ghost the truth of your words, for they are truly our words and not your own or man's.
In all dispensations, we have chosen a head through whom we reveal our will for the church of that day. For you, you receive these for our celestial church, and we therefore will restrict access to your records to those whom I have chosen as our elect, with the consultation of your Heavenly Mother. These are the only ones, plus those who are celestial in heaven, or those who are also elect in the realms of the dead, who will gain access to your account. The telestial will never know of these records or have any access to them.
Your record constitutes one of those records which contain a fullness of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The fulness refers to the extra truths we reveal to those who are candidates for the Church of the Firstborn, and who will inherit eternal life. To these, all things will be revealed:
D&C 121: 26-29
"God shall give unto you knowledge by his Holy Spirit, yea, by the unspeakable gift of the Holy Ghost, that has not been revealed since the world was until now;
Which our forefathers have awaited with anxious expectation to be revealed in the last times, which their minds were pointed to by the angels, as held in reserve for the fulness of their glory;
A time to come in the which nothing shall be withheld, whether there be one God or many gods, they shall be manifest.
All thrones and dominions, principalities and powers, shall be revealed and set forth upon all who have endured valiantly for the gospel of Jesus Christ."
These higher revelations never were envisioned to be revealed in the Church of Christ, or the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, for these were each a telestial church. Even in the millennial Church of Christ which will be a terrestrial church, it will not be proper to receive such grand revelations. It will only be in the Church of the Firstborn, which is our only celestial and eternal church, will these great revelations come forth. You are the current head until Jesus Christ comes and takes his rightful place. Therefore, to you we have revealed our great revelations never before given to man. Your revelations are reserved for those valiant souls whom we have chosen as our faithful elect.'"
204H16-204H20, from Heavenly Mother: "This record (record of Raphael) is a major and very important account of our dealings with our children as the world transitions from a telestial to a terrestrial realm, and as all Israel is gathered to the New Jerusalem and the cities of Zion. Thank you, Raphael, for your diligence in coming to us in prayer twice daily. We have revealed to you great things, and you have written our words, never before manifested to our children in mortality:
D&C 121:26-28
"God shall give unto you knowledge by his Holy Spirit, yea, by the unspeakable gift of the Holy Ghost, that has not been revealed since the world was until now;
Which our forefathers have awaited with anxious expectation to be revealed in the last times, which their minds were pointed to by the angels, as held in reserve for the fulness of their glory.
A time to come in the which nothing shall be withheld, whether there be one god or many gods, they shall all be manifest."
Such is the day in which you live, Raphael. You have been the principal servant of God through whom our strange work, our strange act has been and will continue to be revealed and recorded. Your records will be studied, pondered, and searched throughout the millennium by our faithful sons and daughters.'
I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her words this evening. I said I only could have done this by their matchless power and strength. I asked her to give me and my entire email list of people the faith necessary to continue to do all she and Heavenly Father will have us to do, up to the glorious second coming of Jesus Christ to the earth.
Heavenly Mother said she and Heavenly Father would continue to be by our sides always, and give us their support and strength."

104B2-104B8: "This morning on the sandy shore of the desert oasis, I also felt so enlivened before my prayer. It was in my entire body now and not just my head. This is all not my imagination, but very real and it feels so tangible! Anyway, I knelt in this state on the sand. I asked my Heavenly Parents to come and was fully expecting a visit from them. I felt like I could perceive all things around me as I prayed. I was facing the water just a few steps north of the path. I had my eyes closed but I could sense all around me. I could tell my Heavenly Father come onto the path to my right, not far away. He then walked in the air directly to me and stopped. I knew he was there before me so I opened my eyes and saw him smiling! I turned a little on my knees to fully face him. He was glorious full of light, and so warm and accepting of me!
He spoke:
'Raphael, we will appear to everyone of our elect children as I now appear to you, according to their desires. You are clear and so perceptive now! We have led you to the point where your whole body is open to us, to perceive and hear us. This is a very real sensation you have and is due to our quickening influence on your soul as you come to us in such faith. In this state, I am able to show you all things whatever I wish to share with you.
This is the same state that a few of my ancients have been in, to come unto our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ:
Ether 3:26-28 (Heavenly Father's comments in parenthesis)
"For he had said unto him (the Brother of Jared) in times before, that if he would believe in him that he could show unto him all things-it should be shown unto him; therefore the Lord could not withhold anything from him, for he knew that the Lord could show him all things.
And the Lord said unto him: Write these things and seal them up; and I will show them in mine own due time unto the children of men.
And it came to pass that the Lord commanded him that he should seal up the two stones which he had received, (the Urim and Thummim) and show them not, until the Lord should show them unto the children of men."
Raphael, the Brother of Jared received the Urim and Thummim from Jesus Christ for the aid in translating these great revelations when needed in your day. You do not need any such implement, for you are writing my words in a language easily read and understood in your day. Your revelations are greater than those revealed to the Brother of Jared, however. They are also given to you gradually, over the many days and weeks we come unto you and that you write them. They are part of this era when all things will be revealed to man on the earth:
D&C 121:28-32
"A time to come in the which nothing shall be withheld, whether there be one God or many gods, they shall be manifest.
All thrones and dominions, principalities and powers, shall be revealed and set forth upon all who have endured valiantly for the gospel of Jesus Christ.
And also, if there be bounds set to the heavens or to the seas, or to the dry land, or to the sun, moon, or stars-
All the times of their revolutions, all the appointed days, months, and years, and all the days of their days, months, and years, and all their glories, laws, and set times, shall be revealed in the days of the dispensation of the fullness of times-
According to that which was ordained in the midst of the Council of the Eternal God of all other gods before this world was, that should be reserved unto the finishing and the end thereof, when every man shall enter into his eternal presence and into his immortal rest."
Raphael, we have held back some of our revelation to come forth through you at this time, never before revealed. Now all of our secrets will be revealed to man, all done as we desire prior to the great return in glory of our Beloved Son, again to the earth.
Joel 2: 28-29
"And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit."
Raphael, the enlightenment from our Spirit into your soul that you wrote about in your journal this morning is very real and true! We will pour this same Spirit out upon all our elect who come unto us as have you, being open and diligent in seeking us. Nothing will be withheld in these days. Great are your blessings to receive these wonderful truths!'
I bowed my head and thanked my Father deeply who stood before me in great light and majesty! I feel very honored and humble to be one of those old men that Joel prophesied of. I am so energized to receive so much from my Gods!"
123G8-123G15, from Heavenly Father: "When we have said in Ether 4:15 and 2 Nephi 27:10 that the sealed part of the Book of Mormon would reveal all things from the foundation of the world, we meant that this is a revelation of the chronology of man from his state in the Garden of Eden to the end of the millennium. This revelation spans the seven thousand years of earth's temporal existence. It will contain all things "which ever have been among the children of men, and which ever will be even unto the end of the earth." (see 2 Nephi 27:11).
Your words, however, reveal new truths never before revealed to man. Your words are not generally contained in the sealed portion of the Book of Mormon. Instead our words to you will be part of our many records coming forth that will reveal all things.
D&C 101:32-34- "Yea, verily I say unto you, in that day when the Lord shall come, he shall reveal all things-
Things which have passed, and hidden things which no man knew, things of the earth, by which it was made, and the purpose and the end thereof
Things most precious, things that are above, and things that are beneath, things that are in the earth, and upon the earth, and in heaven."
When Jesus comes, and the wicked are destroyed, then he will have your records made available to all the living on the earth. There will also be many other records with our revelations that he will bring forth. The sealed portion of the Book of Mormon will then be translated and also revealed for all to read and ponder. All things will then be revealed at the beginning of the millennium!
We are the same Gods that reveal our same truths to men and women everywhere. We command them to record their words, and their words fit in harmony with the words we have revealed to our other children to whom we have also spoken. These records from many sources will cause our elect who remain on the earth in that future day to marvel and rejoice!
You will then lock up Lucifer and his hosts so that they will no longer deceive and blind our children during the greater part of the millennium. You will only loose Satan during a little season at the end of the millennium. We will not have him disturb our truths that we will reveal to all mankind on the earth! The wicked will never read of our great truths revealed in your day.
D&C 121:28, 32- "A time to come in the which nothing shall be withheld, whether there be one God or many gods, they shall be manifest.
. . . According to that which was ordained in the midst of the Council of the Eternal God of all other gods before this world was, that should be reserved unto the finishing and the end thereof, when every man shall enter into his eternal presence and into his immortal rest." '
I thanked my Heavenly Father who was still walking next to me around God's Loving Healing Lake, for his wonderful words. I thanked him to have chosen me to have many of these truths revealed! I told him that I would be diligent in recording all he and Heavenly Mother reveal to me!"

37 That they may be conferred upon us, it is true; but when we undertake to cover our sins, or to gratify our pride, our vain ambition, or to exercise control or dominion or compulsion upon the souls of the children of men, in any degree of unrighteousness, behold, the heavens withdraw themselves; the Spirit of the Lord is grieved; and when it is withdrawn, Amen to the priesthood or the authority of that man.
38 Behold, ere he is aware, he is left unto himself, to kick against the pricks, to persecute the saints, and to fight against God.
39 We have learned by sad experience that it is the nature and disposition of almost all men, as soon as they get a little authority, as they suppose, they will immediately begin to exercise unrighteous dominion.
40 Hence many are called, but few are chosen.
41 No power or influence can or ought to be maintained by virtue of the priesthood, only by persuasion, by long-suffering, by gentleness and meekness, and by love unfeigned;
42 By kindness, and pure knowledge, which shall greatly enlarge the soul without hypocrisy, and without guile
43 Reproving betimes with sharpness, when moved upon by the Holy Ghost; and then showing forth afterwards an increase of love toward him whom thou hast reproved, lest he esteem thee to be his enemy;
44 That he may know that thy faithfulness is stronger than the cords of death.
45 Let thy bowels also be full of charity towards all men, and to the household of faith, and let virtue garnish thy thoughts unceasingly; then shall thy confidence wax strong in the presence of God; and the doctrine of the priesthood shall distil upon thy soul as the dews from heaven.
46 The Holy Ghost shall be thy constant companion, and thy scepter an unchanging scepter of righteousness and truth; and thy dominion shall be an everlasting dominion, and without compulsory means it shall flow unto thee forever and ever.
53P4: "See D&C 121:34-46 below. This is rather long, but so important. President David O. McKay said that this was the greatest revelation of all time to mankind, or words to that affect. We need to become changed to become new creations. The priesthood order which is referred to in verse 45, that distills upon our souls and changes us, can be replaced, for women, with high priestesses after the order of Heavenly Mother. We change and become new."

33 How long can rolling waters remain impure? What power shall stay the heavens? As well might man stretch forth his puny arm to stop the Missouri river in its decreed course, or to turn it up stream, as to hinder the Almighty from pouring down knowledge from heaven upon the heads of the Latter-day Saints.
102I11: "D&C 121:33 (comments by Heavenly Father in parenthesis)
"How long can rolling waters remain impure? (This refers to this celestial waterfall, the ultimate rolling waters). What power shall stay the heavens? As well might man stretch forth his puny arm to stop the Missouri river in its decreed course, or to turn it up stream, (as opposed to my stretched out arm over this waterfall, which power is in me and my priesthood, my godly power) as to hinder the Almighty (refers to me, the Father of all) from pouring down knowledge from heaven upon the heads of the Latter-day Saints. (This promise is still active, for I will pour down revelation to the humble and open who will obey my words and keep my commandments.)"'
My Father lowered his arm. He stood in great majesty, power, and glory! He then was enshrouded with a cloud of light, even with lightning that came from the cloud! He was within the cloud, no longer visible when there was a huge flash of light and great thunder! The cloud and Heavenly Father vanished! I had seen the great strength of God, in his majesty and power!
I thanked my Heavenly Father in my mind for his amazing revelations to me today. I committed to exercise my priesthood in humility and strength, even as he would direct me. I then closed my interchange in the name of Jesus Christ, his Beloved Son."

34 Behold, there are many called, but few are chosen. And why are they not chosen?
190D20-190D23, from Heavenly Mother: "She then turned and faced me. I also turned on my knees to face my glorious Heavenly Mother. 'Raphael, you are correct that I and your Father are continually before you, or to your side, throughout your day. This is true whether on your mortal earth or on this celestial orb. We are continually by you Raphael.
Today your Heavenly Father and I have said again that we are no respecter of persons. We love all of our children on the earth. We favor the righteous, or those who seek us and obey what we say to them (see 1 Nephi 17:35). This favoritism does not mean that we do not esteem all flesh the same, for were the wicked to seek us humbly and obey us, they too would be favored. We have chosen those who have demonstrated to us that they have been obedient or will be obedient, whether in their premortal or mortal life. We would choose any of these classed as wicked were they able to qualify for an elect status. We extend our offer to all of our children, for all are called. However, only the righteous who obey us are chosen, even chosen to be our elect. (see D&C 121:34)
There are some of our children who may claim that we, their Heavenly Parents and Gods, have not been fair to them, or have not offered to them the same privileges as our elect receive. However, we have recorded, or documented all of their actions that have disqualified them, such as the multiple times that they have turned away from us.'
I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her short message about how they are no respecter of persons. I have felt confirmed in my mind of this truth."

43B6-43B14: "Heavenly Father then stepped forward. I looked into his eyes and they were sober and yet gentle, wanting I think, to help me understand something very important. He spoke to my mind words like this:
'Raphael, you have asked about what in the Stake President's message was false yesterday at the sacrament meeting you attended.
Those who lead my church, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, have lost their priesthood connection with us. This has occurred in the way that is recorded in D&C 121:34-40:
"Behold, there are many called, but few are chosen. And why are they not chosen?
Because their hearts are set so much upon the things of this world, and aspire to the honors of men, that they do not learn this one lesson
That the rights of the priesthood are inseparably connected with the powers of heaven, and that the powers of heaven cannot be controlled nor handled only upon the principles of righteousness.

We have learned by sad experience that it is the nature and disposition of almost all men, as soon as they get a little authority, as they suppose, they will immediately begin to exercise unrighteous dominion.
Hence many are called, but few are chosen."
Raphael, there have been repeated times of cover-up for actions that would have been embarrassing to the church and/or the involvement of the leaders themselves. The leading quorums of the church have not asked of me, but have moved to protect their own positions of authority and power. These leaders have advanced in their secret cover-ups to fulfill the scripture of 'covering their sins, gratifying their pride, their vain ambition, and in exercising control and dominion and compulsion upon the souls of men and women in unrighteous ways'. We have no choice except to withdraw our presence. The Spirit of the Lord has been grieved, and the heavens have closed to them. They are now without our presence or our authority, and their priesthood and authority is cut off from us. They are now left to themselves, in fighting against us unless they soon repent and change their behavior. As a group, they continue to pursue a path to cover-up the truth.
These actions have been in secret counsels, together as a whole. These have been from the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of my church. The other leading quorums and presidencies sustain all of their decisions.
Raphael, these abominable and sinful actions have been happening more and more over recent years. We have gradually withdrawn our presence, and have tried repeatedly to reach these brethren who were called to lead and serve in our church. However, they have continued in their actions, which cut us off from influencing them.
We have therefore withdrawn ourselves from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints more and more. Generally, our presence and our Spirit no longer reside in their meetings, in the temples, in the conferences. We come when an individual sincerely approaches us in humility, seeking our guidance and direction, or when seeking a witness to truth. However, we have largely departed from our restored church.
We are grieved and greatly saddened by the actions of these our leaders and of our people.
The Stake President yesterday talked about priesthood keys. These have been removed by virtue of sin and cover-up. This is why almost all of his talk was untrue.
There are some of the apostles who have individually approached us in the sincerity of their heart, asking for forgiveness and our direction. However, these individuals have not as yet publicly gone against their quorum decisions to cover-up sin, pride, and unrighteous dominion and compulsion.
There is also a different standard of conduct by which the leading authorities of the church live by than that which is required for all the remaining members of the church. This is also not acceptable to us, and needs to be corrected.
We will move in cleansing our church, as a whirlwind, at the time of our choosing.
See D&C 112:23-26:
"Verily, verily, I say unto you, darkness covereth the earth, and gross darkness the minds of the people, and all flesh has become corrupt before my face.
Behold, vengeance cometh speedily upon the inhabitants of the earth, a day of wrath, a day of burning, a day of desolation, of weeping, of mourning, and of lamentation; and as a whirlwind it shall come upon all the face of the earth, saith the Lord.
And upon my house shall it begin, and from my house shall it go forth, saith the Lord;
First among those among you, saith the Lord, who have professed to know my name and have not known me, and have blasphemed against me in the midst of my house, saith the Lord."
For you, and for our mortal angels, we desire that you continue to seek our face and receive direction and guidance from our hand.'"
56A2-56B9: "Today I wish to share with you how one receives our power. Do not include this with your current post, but sent it out when we tell you.
First, they need to understand that they of themselves have no access to our power, for our power has been given to us because we are God. Man of themselves has no access to our power, for it has to be shared with them by us for a particular circumstance. This should cause our child to act in humility and supplication, in prayer before us.
Secondly, our child needs to ask in faith for a specific request to us, their God. We have asked they come unto us in the name of our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, in prayer.
We, who are your God, exercise our power over our children and all things pertaining to them. We have the power of creation, of healing, of all varieties of miracles to shape the purpose of their mortal probation on the earth. We consider our plan when deciding whether to answer a request of our child to use our power, even the power of God.
Third, we will share with our child our decision in our own way. For example, recently you asked one of us to help you clear a migraine headache in your wife that you were unable to clear yourself. I came and assured you I would help, with my power, which was above your own ability. I inspired you to act as my conduit, using a God's Loving Focus healing gift. I placed my hand next to yours and together we moved the obstruction in your wife's head. This was only possible with my power and not your own.
Further, we expect our child to thank us for extending our power to them and acknowledge the power was God's power, and not their own. In the case above, you were impressed by the ability we had together in removing the obstruction by my power. You immediately thanked me for blessing you with my power, as my conduit, and in being with you during the healing process. You expressed deep gratitude and dependence upon me, saying of yourself you had no power, but with my power you could do all things, according to my will. (R here: see Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." and Alma 26:12 "Yea, I know that I am nothing; as to my strength I am weak; therefore I will not boast of myself, but I will boast of my God, for in his strength I can do all things; yea, behold, many mighty miracles we have wrought in this land, for which we will praise his name forever.") Raphael, this is the most correct attitude our child should have when we extend to them our power.
There are times when it is not wise for us to grant the request of our child to extend to them our power. In this case, our child should continue to be ever humble and grateful, and perhaps importune us for what can be done by our power. (R here: See the parable of the unjust judge)
These are the simple four steps in attaining our power. If ever in question, our child may ask in faith and humility. We will respond in a way they can understand, according to our own will.'
I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her wonderful explanation this morning to me in prayer. I feel so pleased to commune often with her and my Heavenly Father. I have sought diligently my God, and they have come!'
B. R's Personal Journal Entry, 8-17-2017 Thursday
This morning I felt great! I awoke and immediately prepared for my prayer. I felt to go to the font room in the celestial temple in the New Jerusalem. I was on the south side of the font opening, facing the large gold doors.
My Heavenly Parents came before me, appearing over the font in the air, and then walked towards me, ending up at the top closest rim of the gold font.
I opened my prayer, and quickly waited upon them, with no expectation and in faith. Heavenly Father then spoke to me:
'Raphael, our son, we are very happy to come to you today. We have inspired you to come to this location today, inside our temple in the New Jerusalem. What you see is the future, but it is real and tangible to you. We are gradually increasing your perception of these things.
Your Heavenly Mother shared with you yesterday the simple steps for our child to draw upon the powers of heaven. Many of our children have sought for our power, and we have responded to some with great power. Others we have withheld a large part of our power for our own purposes..
Many call upon us, and when we share with them our power, there are few who accept our power in the way we desire. See D&C 121:34-40:
"Behold, there are many called, but few are chosen. And why are they not chosen?
Because their hearts are set so much upon the things of this world, and aspire to the honors of men, that they do not learn this one lesson
That the rights of the priesthood are inseparably connected with the powers of heaven, and that the powers of heaven cannot be controlled nor handled only upon the principles of righteousness.
That they may be conferred upon us, it is true; but when we undertake to cover our sins, or to gratify our pride, our vain ambition, or to exercise control or dominion or compulsion upon the souls of the children of men, in any degree of unrighteousness, behold, the heavens withdraw themselves; the Spirit of the Lord is grieved; and when it is withdrawn, Amen to the priesthood or the authority of that man.
Behold, ere he is aware, he is left unto himself, to kick against the pRs, to persecute the saints, and to fight against God.
We have learned by sad experience that it is the nature and disposition of almost all men, as soon as they get a little authority, as they suppose, they will immediately begin to exercise unrighteous dominion.
Hence many are called, but few are chosen."
The one lesson most do not understand is that our power (in these verses, our power is described as the rights of the priesthood) comes solely from us and not from man. To access our power, the powers of heaven, one needs to exercise the principles of righteousness in their lives. This includes purity of thought and virtue, humility, diligence, dependence upon God, thankfulness, and knowing one's place before God. So many of our children immediately seek to act as verse 37 states-to cover their sins, to gratify their pride and vain ambition, and then to exercise control or dominion or compulsion upon the souls of their fellowman, in unrighteous ways. This is so disturbing to us that we withdraw our Holy Spirit and our power, and leave them to themselves. Their power from us is cut off, and they have no more power, even though they may suppose they do. They usually continue to exercise unrighteous dominion, thinking they are now somehow better than their fellowman since we have extended to them some of our power and authority. This trap of pride and self-aggrandizement is very common.
Our true servants who receive our power on a regular basis continue to be humble and grateful to us. They act in graciousness and in righteousness before us and their fellowman. They seek to act like their Savior and Redeemer, Jesus Christ. These are the heirs to our kingdom, and those who our Son accepts into the Church of the Firstborn.
When these precious souls enter into this font room, they will be very humble and many times overwhelmed by the grandeur of the experience of the ordinance of the waters of separation. We then truly separate them from their fellowmen who are not able to handle our power and authority in righteous ways. Those who come into our celestial church are the meek of the earth, joint heirs with Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son, to eventually receive all that we have.
Raphael, continue to act in humility and dependence upon us, your God. As you do so, we will continue to exercise our power and authority through you. This also applies to each of our holy angels. They too need to act in humility and diligence to receive our power, and then continue being filled with gratitude before us.
Great works await each of you as we manifest our power through you.'
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his great wisdom, and the words he shared with me today. I feel so awed that I am able to receive so great understandings, and be in their presence today."
57G2-57G10: "This morning Heavenly Father had a message for me. I heard it, but felt I would receive more if I wrote what he said, and what came to me, under his inspiration. Here is what I wrote:
'Raphael, our son, we have shown you glimpses of your premortal life to strengthen you and others who read your accounts. If one of our righteous sons or daughters desires to see into their premortal past, they may petition us to reveal to them part of their premortal experience, in our own time and way.
It is important that our children realize that some of our children have tendencies to control and manipulate others. These have a behavior that is very detrimental to themselves and others they attempt to control. There are numbers of our children like this in all circles of friends and families on earth. This distribution of such people is by our design. We desire our righteous ones to have exposure to these tendencies in themselves and others so they might be able to spot such behavior. Those who possess this are not approved to enter into our Church of the Firstborn and our kingdom until such tendencies are fully routed out of their lives. This is very prevalent, and hence many are called but few are chosen (see also D&C 121:34-37-
"Behold, there are many called, but few are chosen. And why are they not chosen?
Because their hearts are set so much upon the things of this world, and aspire to the honors of men, that they do not learn this one lesson
That the rights of the priesthood are inseparably connected with the powers of heaven, and that the powers of heaven cannot be controlled nor handled only upon the principles of righteousness.
That they may be conferred upon us, it is true; but when we undertake to cover our sins, or to gratify our pride, our vain ambition, or to exercise control or dominion or compulsion upon the souls of the children of men, in any degree of unrighteousness, behold, the heavens withdraw themselves; the Spirit of the Lord is grieved; and when it is withdrawn, Amen to the priesthood or the authority of that man.").
Lucifer had this behavior in an extreme way, and continually controls others with his lies, tRs and manipulative behavior. He rules and controls others by force and extreme subjugation. There are many others of our children who have such tendencies to a lesser degree, and continue to live their lives in unrighteous ways, with these behaviors dominant. They view life from this perspective and think they can get ahead. They see others as ones to control and subjugate.
Look to our Beloved Son for an example of humility and love, with no glimmer of such controlling behavior, or the desire to be better or more esteemed than another. As your Gods, we have no such desire or behavior, but only love, compassion, and a great desire to elevate our humble and obedient children to a station like we have, and a life like we live.
When our Beloved Son accepts one of our children into the Church of the Firstborn, he makes sure that such negative behavior and tendencies are not present in those he approves. Zion consists of the humble and pure in heart, and all seek for the interest and welfare of each other.'
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his wonderful words of counsel. I feel clear and pure before my Heavenly Parents, and try to keep myself this way. I really seek no station in life that would elevate me above another. I only seek to do God's will. If it is their will that I have a very important mission like they have revealed to me, I will do this with all my heart. All glory and notoriety that may come my way I feel to deflect to my God, and not to myself. I want to follow the example of my Beloved Savior and Redeemer, Jesus Christ. I strive to overcome my sins and weaknesses. I want to be a pure vessel in the hands of God to act how they want me to be. This is my greatest desire and motivation.
I wonder too about those of us who are so severely shaped by the families we grow up in, and in life's circumstances, both that create patterns of living and the way we look at life. Some of us may come from very abusive and controlling parents, and this may also taint our actions to also be controlling and manipulative.
I believe those who have been raised in such an environment can and need to change, even though it will be harder to drop such behaviors. This is why we really need our Savior and Redeemer, Jesus Christ. He can take away these sins and behavioral tendencies if we come unto him. He can make us pure and holy, without any blemish from our upbringing. We all need such a cleansing, for we have all fallen short of the glory of God, and we all sin."
93E2-93E8: "Heavenly Father then spoke:
'Raphael, we make time in our busy life to spend a lot of time together. This is what we wish to do, for we love being in each other's presence and to continually talk together. We have noticed that when you are able, you and your wife also love to be together. You said to your wife at bedtime last night that the very best time of the day was when you were with her! That is exactly how we feel too! Being together as much as possible engenders feelings of love and acceptance, as long as you each give room to allow your spouse to be whoever he/ she wishes to be. When a person seeks to control another, this creates feelings of subjugation and non-acceptance. The less one does this, the more love each will feel for each other.
Your wife has been studying a book entitled "Minding Your Own Business." This concept of seeking to control only your own life and not others will bring you the greatest happiness. You have noticed too that by letting your grown children be whoever they wish to be, and just accept them in their choices, brings both you and your child the greatest peace and happiness. Control, dominion, or compulsion over another brings unhappiness to both parties.
Speaking of my priesthood power, our prophet Joseph Smith received this good counsel from our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ:
D&C 121:36-37
"That the rights of the priesthood are inseparably connected with the powers of heaven, and that the powers of heaven cannot be controlled nor handled only upon the principles of righteousness.
That this may be conferred upon us, it is true; but when we undertake to cover our sins, or to gratify our pride, our vain ambition, or to exercise control or dominion or compulsion upon the souls of the children of men, in any degree of unrighteousness, behold, the heavens withdraw themselves; the Spirit of the Lord is grieved; and when it is withdrawn, Amen to the priesthood or the authority of that man."
Unfortunately, when my authority is given to my sons, so many begin to exercise unrighteous dominion (see verse 39). The powers of heaven are only brought upon our children as they act in righteous ways and allow all men and women the ability to choose for themselves. It is their business to choose how they wish to live, not anybody else.'
Heavenly Mother then spoke:
'Raphael, I act as the Holy Ghost among my children in mortality. I cannot bear to see my children subjugate each other under pretenses that they are helping others be righteous or by controlling them to choose the right. I always leave their presence under such conditions.
Instead, we wish our children to follow the loving example of our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, in accepting and freely loving others. This seems to be hardest for parents of grown children. When children are young, they need restraint and lots of loving guidance. But when they become accountable and reach their teenage years, they start to choose their own path and make their own choices. Parents need to let go of controlling their children as their children become more independent thinking and approach adulthood. These children should gradually have more and more freedom to choose until they fully act and choose on their own. By so doing, they will feel so much more accepted and loved that were their parents still trying to control them.
Acceptance and love for all is the correct pattern for interfacing with all people, and particularly is effective with grown children. It brings happiness and deep satisfaction to the parent and children alike. This is how we interact with all of our children.'"
110C16-110C17, from Heavenly Mother: "In most of our eternities, we have chosen to have my high priestess order in mortality revealed to my daughters at the end of their earth's temporal existence, which is during the terrestrial millennial time period. Heavenly Father's priesthood has usually been available to our sons during periods when that priesthood was restored to the earth in previous periods, even from the beginning. We always directed that the exercise of Godly powers through the priesthood power he granted to them, his sons, to be administered in gentleness and kindness, as expressed in the great revelation of D&C 121: 34-46.
We wish our sons to always realize that they are co-equal in power and authority with our daughters and visa versa. It is only because my high priestess order has been purposefully delayed until the dawning of the millennial day that my daughters have not yet received again in mortality their ordination to the office of high priestess. This has been a good test for our men to act in humility, kindness and graciousness to our daughters.'"
147M4: "Heavenly Mother spoke to me: 'Raphael, my light of the Holy Ghost will enlighten, uplift and bless those who are the elect of God, for they will receive my light. However, those who were not chosen as the elect of God perceive not my light. They may have previously been called but not chosen, for they have not hearkened to my light in the past, nor obeyed my voice or the voice of the Spirit. Hence, many are called, but few are chosen (see D&C 121:34-40). This applies both to my sons and daughters.'"
163G2-163G11: "I came to the top of the waterfall on the north side, and there beheld my Heavenly Mother, standing and waiting for me! She immediately spoke: 'Raphael, before your morning prayer today, you came out in your front room and enjoyed a discussion with your loving wife. You have each been mulling over how to interact with your grown children and their spouses. I have blessed her with clarity and truth, even though she didn't realize it. I had told you exactly what she told you this morning, even on our walk last night, but you couldn't remember it. I wanted you to receive this advice from her, in your conscious mind this morning.
Here is my revelation to you about interacting with your own grown children, or with any other adult: Your Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ and I are gently and loving people, exalted as Gods. We desire our children to follow our gentle ways. However, we never force, manipulate or in any way corner our children in ways where they would feel compelled to obey us, or to follow our ways. We love and accept who they are, and want them to choose for themselves how they will live and what they will do with their own lives.
Satan, even Lucifer our son, rebelled against this loving approach, and from the beginning he wanted to control, force, tR and lie to others of his siblings in order to get his own way. His evil ways have been adopted by many, and you see these behaviors in people all around you. This is in part what is called "devilish" in Moses 5:13 which states, "men began from that time forth to be carnal, sensual, and devilish."
In order to be our disciple, and follow our ways, we desire that our children love, and accept each other, even for those who are in paths of sin, and even when they are carnal, sensual or devilish. In particular, we don't want our followers of Christ to in any way seek to control, manipulate, or somehow coerce by their schemes, the minds, hearts and actions of another adult, even if these are their own adult children. Once grown up, their children may fully choose their own paths in life.
Wayward adult children cause their righteous parents to mourn, even as did Adam and Eve over their wayward son Cain. (Moses 5:27) Sometimes these sorrowful emotions in parents cause them to try to control their adult children, or impose their own standards upon them which they have previously rejected. This very behaviour is akin to those attitudes promoted by Lucifer.
Instead, we desire our faithful elect to love and accept other adults, without judgements or control, in any way. They may choose their own course in life, whom they list to obey. These will ultimately "reap their rewards according to their words, whether they were good or whether they were bad, to reap eternal happiness or eternal misery, according to the spirit which they listed to obey, whether it be a good spirit or a bad one." (Alma 3: 26)
Without our plan to allow each of our children on earth the freedom to choose their own behaviour and way they will live, how could our plan to reward the righteous, by proving them in mortality, come to pass? We have devised a plan where by our children who have kept their first estate, prove again to us and themselves that they will follow us and our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, even in a fallen telestial or terrestrial earth, without our direct presence. We will keep our plan, and ensure our children have choice on their own, without compulsion or control or dominion of others, whether in mortality or in the world of the spirit dead.
I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her wonderful words! I am so grateful for her great wisdom and guidance in my life.
I then thought of the great revelation given by Jesus Christ to Joseph Smith the prophet in the Liberty jail, in D&C 121: 34-46. I really like verse 37, which relates exactly to what Heavenly Mother just shared with me:
"That they may be conferred upon us, it is true; but when we undertake to cover our sins, or to gratify our pride, our vain ambition, or to exercise control or dominion or compulsion upon the souls of the children of men, in any degree of unrighteousness, behold, the heavens withdraw themselves; the Spirit of the Lord is grieved; and when it is withdrawn, Amen to the priesthood or the authority of that man." (quotation marks added).
I feel very much inclined to allow all men and women to keep their own opinions, the way they will live their lives, and whatever they may choose, without me trying to change them. I only want them to allow me the same privilege, let me do whatever I might choose. This agency, without control from another, is what there should be among us all! I believe this will be part of a great pact of the future millennial world. In our fallen telestial world, it has become rare to find full agency, for we are buffeted by the control and dominion of others to a high degree."
189J13-189J19: "I knelt, faced the stream, and asked for my Heavenly Mother to come. She came from behind a sapling tree and stood before me in her glory! She spoke immediately to my mind: 'Raphael, we are glad that you feel very normal and ordinary, as you wrote earlier today. Were you to allow the knowledge of our great commission to puff you up in your mind and heart, we would not be happy. Instead, you have continually questioned our calling, and have felt very humble and inadequate. This is exactly the condition of the heart that we wish you to have in order to fulfill your assignments. You will be bold, however, in addressing others, and fulfilling our will even as we direct you. Nevertheless, inside your heart and mind, you feel very inadequate and meek. We are pleased with open, humble and obedient state you present yourself before us in.
It is when our chosen servants start to act proud in any way that we become concerned. Once they might think that they are better than the next person, or when they feel they are more qualified or more special in our eyes than those we ask them to serve, is when we become concerned. Pride in one's heart restricts the flow of our Spirit.
It is impossible to be endowed with perfect love in its fulness with a puffed up attitude. How can one who thinks so highly of himself or herself become a servant to the one they administer to? All our leaders are called to be servants, and need to be very open, humble, loving, and to deliver our message or act in our assignments just as we desire. They should not think of themselves except as God's servants. They should seek to be transparent in God's service, fully returning the full measure of praise and acknowledgment to God, and none to themselves.
This is the attitude all who serve with love in Zion must have. It requires purity of their minds and heart, always returning thanks to God for any blessing. These, our loyal servants, act as conduits of our Spirit to those they serve.
What a great privilege it is to serve God, in whatsoever capacity we might call these, our son and daughter leaders! These, our chosen elect leaders, are called and chosen, even according to the pattern set forth in D&C 121:34-46. This instruction pertains equally to my daughters as well as my sons who hold the Father's priesthood.
We have carefully called and then chosen our celestial leaders in these last days who have consistently obeyed us in humility so as to not grieve our Spirit. These we have chosen to be our representatives, to carry forth an abundance of our Spirit to those they diligently serve.
To these, our faithful servants, I will send my Holy Ghost as a constant companion (see D&C 121:46). This Spirit will provide great inspiration and guidance to them in all of their administrations. Truly, it will flow to them forever and ever as they remain humble, obedient and open.'"
These are the reasons we are not chosen, primarily because of unrighteousness: pride, cover sins, exercise control or dominion.

Sun, Aug 25, 2024
This lists the characteristics that we need to have to be Christlike: persuasion, long-suffering, gentleness, meekness, love unfeigned, kindness, no hypocrisy, no guile, charity, virtue.
140D12-140D20: "My Heavenly Mother then appeared before me in the air! She was smiling and shining brightly. She immediately spoke to me:
'Raphael, our children in the mortal telestial world in which you live often want to exercise control over each other. They are inspired by Lucifer whose plan was to force our children to do whatever he wanted, including at the beginning, to keep our commandments. After we chose our son, Immanuel, to be the great Redeemer, Lucifer then wanted to continue to compel those who followed him, but not to keep our commandments, but to be subjugated to his will. He became the master of compulsion in this eternity! He now rules over his subjugated evil spirits with this same belief that forcing them will yield to him obedient subjects.
Those spirits who subject themselves still to Lucifer and his ruthless spirit leaders are controlled by fear. They are severely punished if they don't obey every command of Lucifer.
This is the same method Satan uses to tempt mortals on how to control other mortals. They believe the falsehood that force will bring about loyal obedience. Those who believe the lies of Satan "to exercise control or dominion or compulsion upon the souls of the children of men, in any degree of unrighteousness" are greatly deceived! (see D&C 121:37). This is not our method to gain loyal and faithful obedient children! This is one of the reasons why we rejected Lucifer's plan in the beginning.
Your world lies in sin, much of it stemming from the misuse of the moral agency of man that we have given to them in the day we created them as our son or daughter in the pre-mortal world. We have continued to safeguard man's agency in mortality so each could freely choose what they want to be or whom they want to obey. Without the freedom to choose, our great plan for the mortal probation of our children would be subverted.
There are many leaders in your world who use Satan's methods of coercion upon their subjects. These leaders are in families, in religious organizations, in government, in industry and in any other organization where people try to control one another. Some of our children are so used to controlling others and in using Lucifer's tactics that they will attempt to control and force everyone in their life or with whom they come in contact. They are greatly deceived and living in sin!
We desire all of our children in all of their stages of progression to always have complete choice to act as they wish and to choose whom they want to follow. If they disrupt others, or control others, thereby taking away their God given rights and privileges that we have endowed them with, then we will judge them in the end of their probationary experience. Governments and other organizations may also punish them, or restrict their control and power as they are able.
Our loving ways to influence our children are expressed in D&C 121:41-44. This speaks of exercising the priesthood authority in righteousness, but the principles apply to both men and women, with or without the priesthood:
D&C 121:41-44
"No power or influence can or ought to be maintained by virtue of the priesthood, only by persuasion, by long-suffering, by gentleness and meekness, and by love unfeigned;
By kindness, and pure knowledge, which shall greatly enlarge the soul without hypocrisy, and without guile-
Reproving betimes with sharpness, when moved upon by the Holy Ghost (by me); and then showing forth afterwards an increase of love toward him whom thou hast reproved, lest he esteem thee to be his enemy;
That he may know that thy faithfulness is stronger than the cords of death."'
(Words in parenthesis added by Heavenly Mother)
Heavenly Mother stopped speaking her very important message. She stood in majesty, love and acceptance of me! I thanked her for coming to me tonight. I said I loved her so very much. She then quickly disappeared and I closed my prayer."

Doctrine & Covenants 121:45-46
184H13-184H17, from Heavenly Mother: "We want you to always be happy and relieved from your worries and anxieties. This does not mean that your troubles will be taken away, but that your ability to place them all upon us, your Gods, will relieve you. We will be your "constant companion, and (your) scepter and unchanging scepter of righteousness and truth (this will be our authority and sureness that we will give to you, because of our constant presence with you); and (your) dominion shall be an everlasting dominion (meaning that you will always be able to be in control of your own emotions, anxieties, and thoughts, even at all times without getting ruffled), and without compulsory means it shall flow unto (you) forever and ever (because we will be by your side and freely give to you during all the days of your probation.)" (words in parentheses from Heavenly Mother)
See D&C 121:46
It is not in our plan for the temporal existence of our children for them to be whiplashed by the difficulties of living, but that they learn skills to be steady and constant. As you continue to lean upon us, your Heavenly Parents, we will provide to you a sure constancy of guidance and direction, even by our Spirit, that will give you this great steadiness. You will accept what comes your way in stride, and have a great calm and deep happiness that will be with you always.
Mosiah 4:12-13
" And behold, I say unto you that if ye do this ye shall always rejoice, and be filled with the love of God, and always retain a remission of your sins; and ye shall grow in the knowledge of the glory of him that created you, or in the knowledge of that which is just and true.
And ye will not have a mind to injure one another, but to live peaceably, and to render to every man (and woman) according to that which is his (her) due." (words in parentheses added by Heavenly Mother).
Matthew 11:29-30
"Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
See my beautiful buttercups in this meadow. They have no cares, and yet we completely provide for them. We will also provide completely for those who seek us first, and we will be their mentors and their guides throughout their lives.'"
185H15-185H20, from Heavenly Father: "The first step is for them to come in constant communication with us, their Gods. This is the level we are working on with you. This requires that you receive our word, our mind and will, and recognize for sure this is from us your Gods. Once you know our mind and will, if there is some step or action we wish you to fulfill, then you need to make sure you do all in your power to accomplish this. We will prepare and open up the way to make it so that you can fulfill our will (see 1 Nephi 3:7).
Once this becomes a standard behavior or practice, of you hearing our voice and then acting on whatever we direct you to do, then you will be our true and faithful servant! In continuing in this way of living, your faith will continue to grow, even to where you are exceedingly full of faith and action. You will have confidence in our presence, and our revelations will flow continually into your heart and mind, and will distill upon you as the dews from heaven. This connection between you, our child, and us, your Gods, will be constant, and will flow easily from us to you without any degree of compulsion or restriction. In addition, your desires will flow also to us, and we will order all things for your good (see D&C 121: 45-46, and D&C 111:11). In this state of oneness, whatever you ask of us you shall receive; if you knock it shall; be opened unto you (D&C 11:5).
It is in this state of full connection with us, your Gods, that you will develop the faith necessary to do as the ancients did, in commanding nature or the elements, and having them obey. We hold out this promise to act in our name not only to our faithful sons who are ordained after my order of the priesthood, but to our faithful daughters who are ordained after Heavenly Mother's order to a high priestess. Both are given access to our Godly power as they become one with us, and are ordained to this authority with our approval. They then may exercise our power on the earth, even as did Melchizedek and Enoch:
JST Genesis 14:26,29-31
"Now Melchizedek was a man of faith, who wrought righteousness; and when a child he feared God, and stopped the mouths of lions, and quenched the violence of fire.
And it was delivered unto men by the calling of his own voice, according to his own will, unto as many as believed on his name.
For God having sworn unto Enoch and unto his seed with an oath by himself; that every one being ordained after this order and calling should have power, by faith, to break mountains, to divide the seas, to dry up waters, to turn them out of their course.
To put at defiance the armies of nations, to divide the earth, to break up every band, to stand in the presence of God; to do all things according to his will, according to his command, subdue principalities and powers; and this by the will of the Son of God, which was from before the foundation of the world."
Raphael, once you and our faithful sons and daughters become one with us, our very servants, we will command you to act and do according to our desire. You will exercise the faith to act and to do our will. You will be courageous, and full of faith and confidence. At such a time, even the elements and all nature will obey your words, for you will be commanding even in the name of God and by our direct authority. Of yourself, you will do nothing except as a normal man. But in our behalf, you will act fully in our power and authority.'
I bowed my head before my Father, and asked him to please continue to purify, strengthen, and empower me to know his and Heavenly Mother's will, and then to act in all diligence, with all holiness of heart (see D&C 46:7) in doing their will. He then touched my head and I lifted it up. I then felt like I came back to the earth and ended my prayer in the name of Jesus Christ."
203C1-203C7: "I came this morning in my replicated celestial being to the little stream that flows into God's Loving Healing Lake. I knelt and drank living water from the stream. I asked for my Heavenly Mother to come to me.
She gradually appeared before me, and was glorious and smiling. She spoke to me: 'Raphael, what your Heavenly Father revealed to you last night in your prayer is true. A merged mind, given to one of our faithful mortal sons or daughters, assures them of eternal life and exaltation. This stops their probationary experience in mortality, for they no longer have a veil which is common to our mortal children. At any time they may come unto us, their Gods, in a replicated celestial state, and in a full conscious mind be in our presence. Their conscious memory will include their additional unconscious memories. We will have proven them and promised them to become Gods in eternity.
It is in the state of a merged mind that our celestial mortal elect will have our revelations distill upon their souls as the dews from heaven, and without compulsory means, these shall flow to them forever and ever. (see D&C 121:45-46).
In this period of your gradual transition to have the blessing of a merged mind, I will help you perceive small changes in your conscious mind and memory. In every way you will still be our mortal son, living on the earth. However your mind will become more and more opened to the conscious awareness of all that we have revealed to you. Your faith will become very strong, and you will greatly be able to serve us and our people with greater ability and strength.'
I gazed into the loving eyes of my Heavenly Mother and was very glad! I thanked her for this exceedingly great blessing of a merged mind that I would be receiving.
I then felt her Holy Ghost envelop me and witness to me of the truthfulness of all these things (see Moroni 10:5). I knew that this was the fulness of the Holy Ghost (see D&C 109: 15). I seemed to feel synched to her being in a miraculous manner. I was very glad and filled with her light, love and peace. I felt this all in my unconscious mind, but I will soon feel all such experiences in my conscious mind.
Heavenly Mother then started going backwards and fading away. I watched until she had departed. I closed my prayer in the name of Jesus Christ."
When we are full of charity towards all men, filled with Christlike character, and virtue, then we will have confidence before God, the doctrine of priesthood will distill upon us Holy Ghost will be our constant companion Dominion flow to us without compulsion

Doctrine & Covenants 122:7-9
7 And if thou shouldst be cast into the pit, or into the hands of murderers, and the sentence of death passed upon thee; if thou be cast into the deep; if the billowing surge conspire against thee; if fierce winds become thine enemy; if the heavens gather blackness, and all the elements combine to hedge up the way; and above all, if the very jaws of hell shall gape open the mouth wide after thee, know thou, my son, that all these things shall give thee experience, and shall be for thy good.
8 The Son of Man hath descended below them all. Art thou greater than he?
9 Therefore, hold on thy way, and the priesthood shall remain with thee; for their bounds are set, they cannot pass. Thy days are known, and thy years shall not be numbered less; therefore, fear not what man can do, for God shall be with you forever and ever.
138D6-138D7, from Heavenly Mother about Raphael: "There will be future times where you will pass through tribulations like so many of the prophets before you have experienced. (see D&C 122:5-9). My counsel to you is the same what Jesus gave Joseph Smith the prophet, in every time of trouble or distress:
D&C 122:9-"Therefore, hold thy way, and the priesthood shall remain with thee; for their bounds are set, they cannot pass. Thy days are known, and thy years shall not be numbered less; therefore, fear not what man can do, for God shall be with you forever and ever."'"
139H2-139H17, from Heavenly Mother: "She immediately spoke: 'Raphael, you have recalled talking to me about your struggles with your son A. in December 1016 (see your post 39E4). At that time I told you to leave A.'s healing with us, according to our own timetable and our wisdom. I asked you to release your expectations of what we might do for his future. I said 'Plan for what seems to be reality. If healing comes, embrace it with gratitude. If not, keep hoping, but also living in the reality of your mortal experience.' (post 39E4)
When our mortal children are confronted with trials and difficulties in their lives, we desire that they come unto us in the humility of their souls. We wish that they place in us their faith to help them in their struggles, even if it culminates in death or some difficult trial to pass through. We desire that they drop their expectations of what we may do to intervene. We want them to face the reality that they live in a fallen telestial world that sometimes is very harsh and non-forgiving. It usually does not seem fair, for it isn't fair from the perspective of a mortal life only.
We set in motion our plans for the mortal probation of our many children coming to earth. Then we seek to commune and connect to them through their unconscious mind. We next observe how they meet the challenges of living in this unfair and often harsh world. We reach out to comfort and bless, to strengthen and to help them grow in their trials and difficulties, but we usually won't simply remove the trial.
We have created this world of sorrows and hardships to help our children grow and turn to us for strength, so why would we want to take away the obstacles in their lives that are the means for them to learn and master themselves? There is usually no other way but to pass through hardships to attain the caliber of character and mastery of self that we wish our children to obtain. Skills and good habits are best learned when there are tribulations of all degrees.
There are also times that we will heal and remove an obstacle, for we have determined enough pain and hardship has been imposed. We do this, however, usually sparingly. The reality of earth life is that normally consequences follow, ending in tragedy, death or facing additional trials of life.
To us, whether our child remains in their mortal telestial environment or moves onto the next phase of progression in the world of the spirit dead is not the main issue, for this change of state may not affect their growth and learning. We still are connected to them and help them grow, strengthen them as they will allow us to, and bless and guide them, whether in their physical body or in the world of the spirits.
D&C 122:8
"The Son of Man hath descended below them all. Art thou greater than he?"
We will stand by our faithful forever (see D&C 122:4), and surely will not abandon our children in their great time of need and want!
When the Father announced our plan for our spirit children to come to a fallen telestial earth to receive a physical body and to grow to become like us, their Heavenly Parents, our children greatly rejoiced! We told them that mortality would not be easy, but would even be possible for some of them to live with great difficulty. We told them they would experience the rigors of harsh reality without our rescuing them from passing through these trials. Even with all of these conditions, all of our children who venture forth to earth agreed to come, not knowing the conditions, nor really knowing of our plan for them, for the hardships they would endure.
They agreed to act in faith, trusting in our plans and our judgments. We said we would continue to commune with them when in their future mortal state, just as we had always done in their pre-mortal life. They all were eager to move forward in their progression and to face the mortal world.
We prepared and taught them how to operate their own physical bodies. We also taught them that their emotional, mental and spiritual beings would be stretched and tried. We instructed them to turn to us, their loving Heavenly Parents, so that we could help them and strengthen them in their struggles that they would face. They each agreed that we shouldn't take away the trials, but help them grow and learn through their future mortal struggles.
Once they accepted all of these qualifications, by their own will and choice, and were fully prepared and trained, we sent them down to mortality from our realms of glory. This was a monumental opportunity for their speedy growth and progress to become more like us, their Heavenly Parents!
Raphael, some of our children say that they don't believe in God because how could God allow all of the evil to exist in the world, or to subjugate their children to such a harsh world as this and not rescue them. These children only express this from the shortsighted perspective of their conscious minds, and from their fallen telestial world. We see who they are and were in the pre-mortal world and who we hope them to become in the future.
Earth life is very short compared to other phases or realms of the progress of our children. However, it is so very critical to the growth and preparation of our children to become more like us, their Gods. We stand by to strengthen, understand, and bless all of our children in their earthly trials!'
I thanked my gracious and loving Heavenly Mother for her words. I told her I was very grateful for the trials I have experienced and am now passing through. I asked that she and Heavenly Father help me learn and grow as much as possible, so that I might master myself more and more. I said I believed this is what would be needed for me to fulfill my mission that they had in store for me.
Heavenly Mother then smiled and touched me on my head. She said: 'Raphael, I will strengthen and bless you in all your trials to learn all you can from them. We will do the same for everyone who comes unto us in the humility of their soul.'"
177J3-177J9: "Heavenly Father appeared before me in the air! He was smiling and full of light. I asked him for blessings upon my family, that we would be strengthened and become comforted and blessed. I said that our son A. was having a very difficult time in becoming mentally and emotionally stable and well. I pled for his and Heavenly Mother's blessings of healing to come upon him and us as his caretakers.
Upon finishing my pleas before me Father, my Heavenly Father extended his hand and asked me to stand and walk with him. I stood and he put his arm around my shoulders. He then walked with me towards his wheat field. We came to the road on the north side of his field, and then he turned towards me.
He spoke these words to me: 'Raphael, daily living has been difficult recently for you, your wife and your son. These ups and downs in life are part of the telestial mortal world experiences. Your Heavenly Mother and I will not take away the difficulties in your lives, but will strengthen you in your mortal struggles and difficulties. All of our elect children will face tribulations in their lives, and will pass through hardships that come before them. In all of these difficulties we will be by your side and help you. All of these experiences will help you grow and gain needful understanding and maturity, even as came upon the prophet Joseph Smith:
D&C 121:7
"My Son, peace be unto thy soul; thine adversity and thine afflictions shall be but a small moment."
D&C 122:7,9
"...Know thou, my son, that all these things shall give thee experience, and shall be for thy good.
...fear not what man can do, for God shall be with you forever and ever."'
I felt supported and greatly loved by my Father. I felt his light come into me, accompanied by his compassion and love. I thanked him for being close to me, and helping us in our struggles.
Heavenly Father said he would stay by my side, next to his wheat field on the celestial orb, during my day on earth today. I thanked him again for his comfort and for his presence. I then closed my prayer and got started on my new day."

Doctrine & Covenants 123:7
7 It is an imperative duty that we owe to God, to angels, with whom we shall be brought to stand, and also to ourselves, to our wives and children, who have been made to bow down with grief, sorrow, and care, under the most damning hand of murder, tyranny, and oppression, supported and urged on and upheld by the influence of that spirit which hath so strongly riveted the creeds of the fathers, who have inherited lies, upon the hearts of the children, and filled the world with confusion, and has been growing stronger and stronger, and is now the very mainspring of all corruption, and the whole earth groans under the weight of its iniquity.
143D6-143D14, from Heavenly Mother: "Raphael, you have seen in the mural this morning that our light is sent to the earth, to the hearts and minds of our children, but now so many don't receive it. "They seek not the Lord to establish his righteousness, but every man walketh in his own way, and after the image of his own god, whose image is in the likeness of the world, and whose substance is that of an idol, which waxeth old and shall perish in Babylon, even Babylon the great, which shall fall." (D&C 1:16)
These are walking in darkness at noonday (D&C 95:6), and our love and light will not continue in them, for they have rejected us; therefore they walk in darkness (see D&C 95:12).
D&C 112:23-"Verily, verily, I say unto you, darkness covereth the earth, and gross darkness the minds of the people, and all flesh has become corrupt before my face."
Raphael, the whole earth groans under this darkness and the weight of this iniquity (D&C 123:7), even like when Enoch saw and heard the voice of the earth when Jesus Christ was lifted up upon the cross: "And he heard a loud voice; and the heavens were veiled; and all the creations of God mourned; and the earth groaned; and the rocks were rent; and the saints arose, and were crowned at the right hand of the Son of Man, with crowns of glory;" (Moses 7:56).'
At this time I heard a low groaning sound coming from the mural! Both Heavenly Mother and I looked upon the earth in the mural, and we heard these words from the earth-the words in the low groaning were exactly those that Enoch heard and that is recorded in Moses 7:48-
"Wo, wo is me, the mother of men; I am pained, I am weary, because of the wickedness of my children. When shall I rest, and be cleansed from the filthiness which is gone forth out of me? When will my Creator sanctify me, that I may rest, and righteousness for a season abide upon my face?"
Heavenly Mother spoke: 'Raphael, the earth now mourns under the weight of sin and darkness! Your Father and I have endured long enough, for the entire earth and its inhabitants have been in darkness long enough. Our anger and wrath are soon to be kindled, even to destroy the darkness that grips the earth and our children who reside on her face! We will take vengeance upon the ungodly who continually reject our light and truth! We will clear away the darkness and send forth our abundant light and truth upon the earth, "to sweep the earth as with a flood, to gather out (our) elect from the four quarters of the earth." (see Moses 7:62). We will do this great sweeping of the darkness with our power, and through our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, and by our many angels and servants that we have called and commissioned with our power and strength.'
I then saw on the mural great tribulations coming to the earth. I saw earthquakes, great destructions; water heaving beyond their shores. I saw severe weather gripping the earth, and even the very earth convulsing and shaking violently under the commands of God through their servants, to destroy and cleanse the land! I saw wars, plagues, famine, and disasters of all kinds. I saw the wicked destroying the wicked until much of the evil and darkness was gone.
Heavenly Mother spoke: 'Raphael, these events all need to come so that the gross darkness may be removed from the earth and her inhabitants.
We do this great cleansing for the sake of the righteous on her surface, and for unborn elect who will soon come to the earth.'"

12 For there are many yet on the earth among all sects, parties, and denominations, who are blinded by the subtle craftiness of men, whereby they lie in wait to deceive, and who are only kept from the truth because they know not where to find it
64A3-64A6, from Heavenly Mother: "'Raphael, we are glad that you chose to attend the church services at San Xavier del Bac Mission in Tucson, Arizona. The people you saw there represent a very large group of our children on earth and in the spirit world who are humble and believe in us, their God. Many of these will embrace the truth once they hear it. They are religious and want to do what is right. These are only kept from the truth because they don't know where to find it.
(see D&C 97:1-2-
"Verily I say unto you my friends, I speak unto you with my voice, even the voice of my Spirit, that I may show unto you my will concerning your brethren in the land of Zion, many of whom are truly humble and are seeking diligently to learn wisdom and to find truth.
Verily, verily I say unto you, blessed are such, for they shall obtain; for I, the Lord, show mercy unto all the meek, and upon all whomsoever I will, that I may be justified when I shall bring them unto judgment."
and
D&C 123:12- "For there are many yet on the earth among all sects, parties, and denominations, who are blinded by the subtle craftiness of men, whereby they lie in wait to deceive, and who are only kept from the truth because they know not where to find it").
We will soon send our 144,000 to these humble souls to gather them. This will be in a time of trouble and great distress that will come upon the earth. We will also send, from the unseen world, our holy angels to guide and bless them.
Raphael, we will bless you and our holy angels who live in the flesh in their personal lives so they may do our great work in the celestial realms. Your combined work continues unabated in heaven and on earth."

Sun, Jul 14, 2024
We don't know our future, but are asked to trust in God for the fulfillment of our lives. This is exactly what I too need to do in my life!
I've discovered and read about my mission in the scriptures, the standard works, that have been written. I have lots of wonderings, and am trying to act in faith to wait and see the hand of God be revealed as these statements and prophecies are fulfilled.
This scripture gives me a boost of faith, waiting upon my God to fulfill all that he has promised. I cannot do anything on my own to fulfill these promises, only God can do this. I can prepare, and wait upon my Gods.
My current task: think what God wants me to do now, seeing that my future is hidden. Act and prepare on his direction in faith.

32 But behold, at the end of this appointment your baptisms for your dead shall not be acceptable unto me; and if you do not these things at the end of the appointment ye shall be rejected as a church, with your dead, saith the Lord your God.
102H5-102H5, from R: "D&C 124:32-
". . . and if you do not these things at the end of the appointment ye shall be rejected as a church, with your dead, saith the Lord your God."
D&C 84:55-
"Which vanity and unbelief have brought the whole church under condemnation."
These impressed me that the church could be condemned and even rejected if the members or leaders don't do what their God tells them to do. The condemnation has remained on the church from this time, even until now. I believe the church has also finally been rejected by God, for the leaders rejected God's revelation on the office of high priestess. The church has been rejected along with the ordinances for the dead. The priesthood has also been removed and the keys removed from its leaders, aligned with what God said would happen if the church members did not do as he said."

Even though the Nauvoo temple was finally built by the Latter-day Saints, the fact was that Jesus Christ threatened to reject the church, along with the dead. This means that if we are not obedient, he may reject us, as individuals and also as a church. He said that if the saints didn't meet the appointed date in finishing the temple, the baptisms would not be acceptable. We know that God keeps his words and means what he says, so we also know that this same provokation might happen again, and that the Lord could reject the church and the baptisms in the church.
This in reality happened, with a provokation that occurred when the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was rejected as the Lord's church, with the leading men of the church with their priesthood and keys to the priesthood removed, and the baptisms in the church and temples rejected. See my notes in Isaiah 52:1.

When the church would be rejected, along with its leaders, the baptisms in the temples would not be recognized any more. This has already fully happened. See my notes in verse 32 above and 35 below.

Doctrine & Covenants 124:45
45 And if my people will hearken unto my voice, and unto the voice of my servants whom I have appointed to lead my people, behold, verily I say unto you, they shall not be moved out of their place.
167C6-167C9, from Heavenly Mother: "'Raphael, our elect hear our voice and keep our commandments, just as you have done this morning in following me. They will often not know where they will go, only that God is leading them to safe places of refuge. These places may include actual physical locations where they will be safe and protected from evil, emotional or mental conditions in their minds that they choose to view or choose not to view, and spiritual direction that ultimately lead them to us, their Gods. In all things, and under all conditions, we will lead them along, whether by our own voice of the Spirit, or by our celestial and terrestrial servants, it is the same.
D&C 124:45- "And if my people (the elect of God) will hearken unto my voice (the voice of God, or the voice of the Spirit), and unto the voice of my (celestial and terrestrial) servants whom I have appointed to lead (protect and help me guide) my people, behold, verily I say unto you, they shall not be moved out of their place." (words in parentheses added by Heavenly Mother).
I have modified the above scripture for my own purposes, for I am God and may do so. The meaning of this scripture was meant for another time in 1841, when the Latter-day Saints were being driven from Missouri from an order by Governor Boggs. The meaning now is to show how God or his/her authorized celestial and terrestrial servants will lead the elect away from harm, and bring them to safety, even as you have been brought into these secluded woods.
If our elect trust in us or our servants, and have faith, they need not fear. They need not even know what harm may have been done to them were they to not respond and follow our direction. That doesn't matter, for the only thing that matters is that they trust in the Spirit and act on what we say. Our Spirit will always accompany whatever we say to them, or have our servants say to them, for it is the same (see D&C 1:38).'"

Doctrine & Covenants 124:48
48 For instead of blessings, ye, by your own works, bring cursings, wrath, indignation, and judgments upon your own heads, by your follies, and by all your abominations, which you practice before me, saith the Lord.
Sun, Jun 23, 2024
If the leaders and people of this church reject the counsel and commands of God, they will receive cursings, wrath, indignation and judgments. This promise has continued to our day, for God does not vary in that which he says. These cursings will include full rejection of the church, the priesthood power and authority, and no longer acceptance of the ordinances that they may perform. See my notes in Isaiah 52:1.

Sun, Apr 23, 2023
The keys of the kingdom, received in the Kirtland Temple section 110, now would only be upon Hyrum, and no longer Oliver Cowdery who received these keys with Joseph Smith. It was upon only these two men that would have these keys given, never to be conferred upon another, for never did Jesus direct it to be so.

Doctrine & Covenants 127:8-9
8 For I am about to restore many things to the earth, pertaining to the priesthood, saith the Lord of Hosts.
9 And again, let all the records be had in order, that they may be put in the archives of my holy temple, to be held in remembrance from generation to generation, saith the Lord of Hosts.
199D13-199D17: "I have wondered if anything material in the mortal telestial world would survive the destruction coming to that realm, when Jesus Christ comes in his glory. I met my Heavenly Mother in my prayer tonight on the eastern shores of the mighty river, to the west of the New Jerusalem island.
She answered me: 'Raphael, all in the telestial world will be consumed and be destroyed when Jesus Christ comes in his glory. We wish to preserve your records since 2010, and will have you bring these to the mortal terrestrial realm on the earth. All lands, buildings, and anything living on the telestial earth will be consumed. This includes all earthly records, temples, and people. In order for any of these to be preserved, they need to be approved and then brought into our mortal terrestrial realm prior to the second coming of Jesus Christ.
We have also written in heaven the vital records that were written on earth, even from the beginning (see D&C 128:8-9). We also have the ability to recall and reveal all events and actions that have happened in the past to our children in their telestial mortal state. We will use this method to judge the actions of our children during their probation. All will acknowledge that our judgments are just, for they will also have a bright recollection of all they did in their mortal and postmortal life when they stand before us or our servants at the judgment day (see Alma 11:43).'
I recall having been in the little Cottonwood Canyon near Salt Lake City, and saw the granite vaults on the valley hill with records stored there by the LDS church. I asked if these too would be destroyed, as well as the Salt Lake Temple.
Heavenly Mother responded: 'Raphael, both of these will be consumed, for they will remain on the telestial earth when Jesus Christ comes in his glory.'"

Doctrine & Covenants 128:7
7 You will discover in this quotation that the books were opened; and another book was opened, which was the book of life; but the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works; consequently, the books spoken of must be the books which contained the record of their works, and refer to the records which are kept on the earth. And the book which was the book of life is the record which is kept in heaven; the principle agreeing precisely with the doctrine which is commanded you in the revelation contained in the letter which I wrote to you previous to my leaving my place, that in all your recordings it may be recorded in heaven.
24O11-24O18: "Heavenly Father came before me, with Heavenly Mother on his left side. Then on the right side of Heavenly Father came a man in the spirit, with blond flowing hair to his shoulders, no beard, in a white full-length robe. I knew it was my archangel brother Oriphiel! He had the Book of Life held in his right hand, next to his side. It had not yet been written in by anyone yet. It was a large book like we are used to in our age, with a white cover it seemed.
Oriphiel is the only one who will faithfully record everyone who will be exalted in this book, once they receive the ordinance of the waters of separation, in the Church of the Firstborn. I will be the one who performs the ordinance for everyone who is begotten by Jesus Christ, and accepted by him into the Church of the Firstborn. (Later: there is one exception to this, and it is myself-read below).
I just had this all confirmed by my Heavenly Father.
Q- Do the two witnesses need to be purified by the frankincense oil purification?
A- No, although their names will be noted in the book by Oriphiel.
Q- When will I receive the ordinance of the waters of separation? and by whom?
A- Once the waters are prepared, it will be performed for you by Jesus Christ, your Redeemer. Your name will be the first one in the Book of Life, written by the hand of Jesus Christ. He will show you how to do the ordinance so that you can do it properly. You will also be the first one written in the Book of Life by Jesus Christ also, who will show Oriphiel how to record the ordinance from then on by himself. After this is done, then both of you will continue doing this for others.
Q- Will those who are resurrected, like Michael or Gabriel, also have to receive this ordinance performed by me, Raphael?
A- Yes. You will do it for all of those who will be exalted, save Jesus Christ who is already a God.
Q- What about D&C section 132:19, where it says that Abraham has entered into his exaltation?
A- Raphael, this section of the Doctrine and Covenants, was not give by me. It was added after the death of the prophet Joseph Smith by those who carefully crafted it as a revelation. This is one of the sections, containing one of the purported doctrines, which will be cleansed from the LDS Church when it becomes again the Church of Christ.
Q- So, in recap, I Raphael, will perform the waters of separation ordinance for every single child of Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother (except Jesus Christ) who are spiritually begotten and accepted by Jesus Christ, for entrance into the Church of the Firstborn. This will be done before the final judgment day, at which time all of the faithful will have been recorded in the Lamb's Book of Life.
A- Yes, this is true.
Q- Is the Lamb's Book of Life the final approval record for their passing into their exaltation?
A- Yes
See D&C 128:7 about the Book of Life, and D&C 88:2 about the book of the names of the sanctified:
Q- Is the book of the names of the sanctified the same book as the Book of Life?
A- No
My personal feelings:
I just feel overwhelmingly excited and humbled at the same time! I feel so privileged to be chosen to participate in this ordinance for all the faithful who come into the Church of the Firstborn! I feel great love for all of these, my brothers and sisters, who have proven faithful to Jesus Christ, through the many hardships they have endured, in their trek towards their exaltation. I want to embrace and welcome each one! I am overjoyed in this prospect and great blessing. I am awed at the majesty of God, his forethought in planning this great and final entrance ceremony, performed by two of his male archangels. I feel assured this is all true as I have recorded it today in my journal!"
______________________________
Doctrine & Covenants 128:15, 128:18
15 And now, my dearly beloved brethren and sisters, let me assure you that these are principles in relation to the dead and the living that cannot be lightly passed over, as pertaining to our salvation. For their salvation is necessary and essential to our salvation, as Paul says concerning the fathers, that they without us cannot be made perfect, neither can we without our dead be made perfect.
18 I might have rendered a plainer translation to this, but it is sufficiently plain to suit my purpose as it stands. It is sufficient to know, in this case, that the earth will be smitten with a curse unless there is a welding link of some kind or other between the fathers and the children, upon some subject or other, and behold what is that subject? It is the baptism for the dead. For we without them cannot be made perfect; neither can they without us be made perfect. Neither can they nor we be made perfect without those who have died in the gospel also; for it is necessary in the ushering in of the dispensation of the fulness of times, which dispensation is now beginning to usher in, that a whole and complete and perfect union, and welding together of dispensations, and keys, and powers, and glories should take place, and be revealed from the days of Adam even to the present time. And not only this, but those things which never have been revealed from the foundation of the world, but have been kept hid from the wise and prudent, shall be revealed unto babes and sucklings in this, the dispensation of the fulness of times.
63N12-63N13, from Heavenly Mother: "S.A. asked a question about they without us and us without them cannot be made perfect (see D&C 128:15). This refers to the sealing of children to parents in the temple. This has been done in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and will continue to be performed in the Church of Christ in the future [this was later revealed to be finally done the Church of the Firstborn, sealed upon those who would soon become couple Gods who have had children or parents in their mortality, in their same status. See 82L2 below and 184G3-184G4 below]. This ordinance allows the eternal sealings in family relationships to be perpetuated in eternity for those who are worthy. This is part of the perfection of our sons and daughters and is what this scripture is referring to. It does not refer to personality or physical attributes.'
This seems clear to me now, whereas before yesterday, I wasn't sure of how it was delineated.
In the millennial day, the new Church of Christ, the only terrestrial church, will operate all the temples on the earth except the New Jerusalem central temple. This temple, located in the Temple Square area, is a celestial temple. The New Jerusalem temple is the only temple that this Church of the Firstborn operates and manages. The other celestial temple, the temple in heaven, is operated directly by Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother. This temple is also their heavenly home. All of the celestial ordinances for exaltation and Godhood are performed in these two temples except perhaps the final ordinance to become a God or a Goddess in eternity. This latter ordinance to become a God or a Goddess might be performed on the celestial earth where the initial inheritance for this new exalted couple is given. The location of this final ordinance is all determined by Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother.
In the millennium, the preparatory church (the Church of Christ) will prepare its members for entrance and acceptance into the celestial church, the Church of the Firstborn. Temple ordinances will be performed in both churches. This will be a great part of the work of God during the thousand-year millennial period.
All of the ordinances of the Church of the Firstborn will be done directly for the new member, and not by proxy. The work of live and proxy ordinances will continue in the Church of Christ, similar to how they are now done in the LDS Church. For those who are deceased, their living descendants may perform proxy temple work for them. Both the living and the dead may also prepare their hearts and minds by participating in these preparatory ordinances. When these individuals, living in mortality or dead, are finally approved by Jesus Christ for entrance into the Church of the Firstborn, they come themselves as either mortals, translated or resurrected individuals. After the initial ordinance of the waters of separation, they will go through the remainder of the temple ordinances as resurrected individuals. Their robes of resurrection will be replaced with their new robes of exaltation when they are robed by the angels of God and the New Jerusalem Temple. All of God's children who will be exalted will go through the New Jerusalem Temple for their own ordinance work. There is great power and advancement for these individuals as they go through with their chosen spouse, and usually with those in their immediate family who are also becoming exalted.
After I had written all of this above this morning, I realized my time in prayer was almost gone! I then came to the entry area of the temple in heaven, through the
north doors of that temple. I knelt in the central area, facing the hallway to my front, or to the south. I asked for my Heavenly Parents to come, or one of them.
Heavenly Father then appeared before me in that temple entrance area! He was bright and shining, and smiling. He spoke to me:
'Raphael, I have been inspiring you this morning as you wrote in your journal. These words are from me, and not from you. These are true and accurate. Also, what your Heavenly Mother revealed to you yesterday is also written sufficiently accurately. All of these words you have written are in your own words, as we inspired you to write.'
I thanked so very much my Heavenly Father before me! I was kneeling before him, in his temple in heaven."
I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her clear words. I so love her and Heavenly Father's answers-how direct they are. I hope this answers S.A.'s questions on this topic."
82L1-82L7: "I have been mulling over what Heavenly Mother shared with me yesterday. I am trying to clearly delineate what I received. Maybe this will help:
1) in the telestial church, (LDS Church), or the terrestrial church (Church of Christ in the millennium), the members practice and perform the following ordinances:
Baptism (valid and honored by God for eternity)
Laying on of hands for the Holy Ghost (valid for eternity)
Priesthood ordination in person to the Melchizedek Priesthood, not in temples by proxy (valid for eternity this done she was holding currently the priesthood themselves)
High Priestess ordination in person, not in temples by proxy (to be done in the future Church of Christ, since this was rejected by the LDS church leaders-valid for eternity)
Other Temple ordinances (washings, anointings, endowments, sealing of children to parents, and sealing of spouses together. These are not valid for eternity, with a version of each performed in the telestial/terrestrial temples to prepare the heart and minds of the members of the church for the final, binding ordinances, later to be performed in the Church of the Firstborn at some future period.)
Second Comforter (the appearing of Jesus Christ, stating to the individual that he/she is an approved candidate for entrance into the Church of the Firstborn.)
2) In the Church of the Firstborn, the only celestial church in eternity, the following events and ordinances are performed:
Waters of separation (entry ordinance into the Church of the Firstborn, performed by Raphael and Oriphiel, archangels of God. The new member then has his/her name recorded in the Book of Life, the celestial record of heaven. This ordinance is valid for eternity.)
Washing, by the angels (valid for eternity)
Anointing by the angels (valid for eternity)
Clothing in robes of exaltation by the angels (valid for eternity)
Ordination by the angels to the Melchizedek Priesthood for the men if not previously ordained, or to the office of High Priestesses for the women, if not previously received up to this time (valid for eternity)
Endowment by the angels (valid for eternity)
Sealing of exalted children to their exalted parents, performed by Heavenly Father, Heavenly Mother or Jesus Christ (valid for eternity)
Ordination to Godhood, performed jointly my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother (valid for eternity)
This seems clear to me now, whereas before yesterday, I wasn't sure of how it was delineated.

184G3-184G4: "Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, your Heavenly Mother spoke to you many truths last night about family relationships. We seal couples together as husbands and wives, and this is the eternal family in eternity. Those who are their earthly children and who attain the same glorious exaltation, are sealed to them as their children. This is the ordinance which we, your Gods, will do once the couples all are ordained Gods, even couple Gods in eternity (see your post 82L2). Those who were children on an earth will be sealed by us to their earthly parents, in an ordinance in the Church of the Firstborn. This is to signify the continuation of a relationship between them in eternity, as family and as lasting friends. There will therefore be a great welding link in eternity between the Gods, forming an eternal extended family and friend relationship.
Joseph Smith, our prophet, mentioned this welding link in D&C 128:18, when referring to the baptism for the dead. This is the turning of the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the children to their fathers. Once exalted, these parents and children will be linked eternally in a sealing ordinance that we, their Gods, will do. We desire the hearts of these earthly family members to continue to be bound together in love, interest and friendship."

Doctrine & Covenants 128:21
21 And again, the voice of God in the chamber of old Father Whitmer, in Fayette, Seneca county, and at sundry times, and in divers places through all the travels and tribulations of this Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints! And the voice of Michael, the archangel; the voice of Gabriel, and of Raphael, and of divers angels, from Michael or Adam down to the present time, all declaring their dispensation, their rights, their keys, their honors, their majesty and glory, and the power of their priesthood; giving line upon line, precept upon precept; here a little, and there a little; giving us consolation by holding forth that which is to come, confirming our hope!
15A1-15A10: "Three days ago on Sunday, April 3rd, 2016, I had the impression that I could find out my premortal and eternal name! I confirmed it in prayer that day.
The next day, on Monday, I prayed about this more, seeking to find out my premortal name. The name 'Raphael' came immediately into my mind, so I asked if I was named Raphael. The answer came back a strong YES! In fact, I was named the angel Raphael, the healing archangel Raphael!
I really didn't even know much who Raphael really was. So I went online and found that Raphael means 'It is God who heals', 'God heals', or 'God, please heal' in the standard Hebrew. He is the archangel of Judaism and Christianity who in the Christian tradition performs all manners of healing.
On another website, it says 'Raphael has long been regarded as the angel of healing. His name may be derived from the Hebrew word Rophe which means medicine doctor or Rapach which means God heals the soul'. There is a lot more.
Raphael's color, according to multiple online sources, is emerald green. My eyes are green. My healing stone is a sapphire. (later I wrote: 'I tried to find out more details about my healing stone, which has the shape of the domed room. I confirmed that it is a sapphire. From the beginning, I had thought it was light blue, for this is the color of sapphires, or so I thought. It is a color so close to light green that I assumed it was blue, and they look so similar in coloring. However, I had it confirmed to me today (4-8-2016) that my stone is actually light green!')
Raphael is mentioned in the book of Tobit (an apocryphal book revered by the Catholic Church and others) and thought to have stirred the waters at the healing pool of Bethesda. In the D&C 128:21 he was mentioned as an angel who came to Joseph Smith. In the book of Tobit, he healed a blind person and told him he was the angel Raphael, one of seven, who stand before the Lord (Tobit 12:15). He is venerated as Saint Raphael the Archangel. An Archangel is an angel of high rank. In the Greek, it means literally chief angel.
In the book of Enoch, there is a reference to a system of seven archangels: Gabriel, Michael, Raphael, Uriel, Raguel, Ramiel, and Sariel.
Another website said 'The archangels have a more powerful, stronger essence than guardian angels. They oversee and guide the other angels who are with us on earth.'
Also, 'As opposed to our guardian angels, the archangels can be in more than one place at a time. Therefore, don't feel guilty about calling upon them because you feel that others may need them more than you do. The exact number of archangels is debatable, but the four that are the most widely known are Michael, Gabriel, Raphael and Uriel.'
Again, 'Archangel Raphael is the angel to call upon if we wish to heal others or ourselves, except in case where illness is part of the overall plan. As a response to our request, Raphael will show us what we can do to get well. He also often allows us to see how our thoughts and actions triggered our health problems in the first place. Clairvoyants often see his essence as emerald green colored light.'
Another website says the seven archangels stood before God in Revelations. In Rev 8:2, it reads 'And I saw seven angels which stood before God, and to them were given seven trumpets.' I believe that these seven angels were archangels.
On Tuesday of this 'awakening' week, I asked if I was the angel who helped Jesus Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane when he was suffering (see Luke 22:43). The answer came back a firm 'Yes!'
That same day, after my prayer, I felt that Heavenly Father laid his hands on my spirit head and said these words to my mind:
'R, my son, I have awakened you to your identity before coming to mortality. You are my healing angel Raphael, whom I sent to people to heal them in all ages of the earth's temporal existence. Your calling, then and now, is part of my plan to administer healing and comfort to my children while they are in the flesh. You also had the singular charge to strengthen my Beloved Son in Gethsemane as recorded in Luke 22:43.
Your future mission will be glorious, as you continue to work in my behalf in administering healing to my needy children. I will lead you along and will always be near you. I love you, my son.'
That morning I wrote this in my pocket journal:
'When I acted as a comforting angel to Jesus in his suffering in the Garden of Gethsemane, I was a conduit for Heavenly Father-with God's Loving Healing Hands gift. I believe now that Heavenly Father was intimately involved in assisting his Beloved Son during this very extremely difficult time-and by this means blessed his son and strengthened him.'
In D&C 128:21, the name Raphael, an angel is written who, with other diverse angels, declared their dispensations, their rights, their keys, their honors, their majesty and glory, and the power of their priesthood. . .
I received in prayer today that Raphael did indeed appear to the prophet Joseph Smith in the Kirtland Temple on January 5th, 1838. This was the period that Joseph was fleeing Kirtland before the apostates there who threatened his life, calling him a fallen prophet. At this time of great distress, Raphael appeared to him in the temple, giving him comfort and a blessing of healing and strength for the next part of his journey to Missouri. In this healing, God's Loving Healing Hands gift was administered to Joseph, with Heavenly Father giving the healing. This is what I received in answer to prayer, and in the state of prayer and meditation.""

Here are the references to Raphael in the scriptures, pertaining to his past works and his last days mission:
Genesis 32:24-30 "And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacobs thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.
And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.
And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved."
Genesis 48:16 "The Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.""
Judges 13:1-21
"And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the Lord; and the Lord delivered them into the hand of the Philistines forty years.
And there was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren, and bare not.
And the angel of the Lord appeared unto the woman, and said unto her, Behold now, thou art barren, and bearest not: but thou shalt conceive, and bear a son.
Now therefore beware, I pray thee, and drink not wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing:
For, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and no razor shall come on his head: for the child shall be a Nazarite unto God from the womb: and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.
Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of God came unto me, and his countenance was like the countenance of an angel of God, very terrible: but I asked him not whence he was, neither told he me his name:
But he said unto me, Behold, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink, neither eat any unclean thing: for the child shall be a Nazarite to God from the womb to the day of his death.
Then Manoah entreated the Lord, and said, O my Lord, let the man of God which thou didst send come again unto us, and teach us what we shall do unto the child that shall be born.
And God hearkened to the voice of Manoah; and the angel of God came again unto the woman as she sat in the field: but Manoah her husband was not with her.
And the woman made haste, and ran, and shewed her husband, and said unto him, Behold, the man hath appeared unto me, that came unto me the other day.
And Manoah arose, and went after his wife, and came to the man, and said unto him, Art thou the man that spakest unto the woman? And he said, I am.
And Manoah said, Now let thy words come to pass. How shall we order the child, and how shall we do unto him?
And the angel of the Lord said unto Manoah, Of all that I said unto the woman let her beware.
She may not eat of any thing that cometh of the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing: all that I commanded her let her observe.
And Manoah said unto the angel of the Lord, I pray thee, let us detain thee, until we shall have made ready a kid for thee.
And the angel of the Lord said unto Manoah, Though thou detain me, I will not eat of thy bread: and if thou wilt offer a burnt offering, thou must offer it unto the Lord. For Manoah knew not that he was an angel of the Lord.
And Manoah said unto the angel of the Lord, What is thy name, that when thy sayings come to pass we may do thee honour?
And the angel of the Lord said unto him, Why askest thou thus after my name, seeing it is secret?
So Manoah took a kid with a meat offering, and offered it upon a rock unto the Lord: and the angel did wondrously; and Manoah and his wife looked on.
For it came to pass, when the flame went up toward heaven from off the altar, that the angel of the Lord ascended in the flame of the altar. And Manoah and his wife looked on it, and fell on their faces to the ground.
But the angel of the Lord did no more appear to Manoah and to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he was an angel of the Lord."
1 Kings 19:5-7 (see 163J9-163J11), speaking of Elijah the prophet:
"And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then an angel touched him, and said unto him, Arise and eat.
And he looked, and, behold, there was a cake baken on the coals, and a cruse of water at his head. And he did eat and drink, and laid him down again.
And the angel of the Lord came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat; because the journey is too great for thee.
I then ate the little cake and drank of the living water in the cruse. The cake was hearty and extremely filling to my soul.

And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord;"
Isaiah 28:2, 21 "Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one, which as a tempest of hail and a destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters overflowing, shall cast down to the earth with the hand.
. . . that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act"
Isaiah 29:14 "Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous work among this people, even a marvelous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid."
Isaiah 49:1-9 (see also 1 Nephi 21:1-9) "Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The Lord hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name.
And he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand hath he hid me, and made me a polished shaft; in his quiver hath he hid me;
And said unto me, Thou art my servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified.
Then I said, I have laboured in vain, I have spent my strength for nought, and in vain: yet surely my judgment is with the Lord, and my work with my God.
And now, saith the Lord that formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, Though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the Lord, and my God shall be my strength.
And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.
Thus saith the Lord, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to him whom man despiseth, to him whom the nation abhorreth, to a servant of rulers, Kings shall see and arise, princes also shall worship, because of the Lord that is faithful, and the Holy One of Israel, and he shall choose thee.
Thus saith the Lord, In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee: and I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages;
That thou mayest say to the prisoners, Go forth; to them that are in darkness, Shew yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall be in all high places."
Isa 49:1-12, from the Isaiah Institute Header: Jehovah empowers his servant after he is rejected to restore his people and to implement their new exodus.
"Hear me, O isles; listen, you distant peoples: Jehovah called me before I was in the belly; before I was in my mothers womb, he mentioned me by name.
He has made my mouth like a sharp sword, in the shadow of his hand he hid me. He has made me into a polished arrow, in his quiver he kept me secret.
He said to me, You are my servant, Israel, in whom I will be glorified.
I had thought, I have labored in vain, I have spent my strength for nothing and to no purpose! Yet my cause rested with Jehovah, my recompense with my God.
For now Jehovah has said, he who formed me from the womb to be his servant, to restore Jacob to him, Israel having been gathered to him; for I won honor in the eyes of Jehovah when my God became my strength
he said: It is too small a thing for you to be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob and to restore those preserved of Israel. I will also appoint you to be a light to the nations, that my salvation may be to the end of the earth.
Thus says Jehovah, the Redeemer and Holy One of Israel, to him who is despised as a person, who is abhorred by his nation, a servant to those in authority: Kings shall rise up when they see you, princes shall prostrate themselves, because Jehovah keeps faith with you, because the Holy One of Israel has chosen you.
Thus says Jehovah: At a favorable time I have answered you; in the day of salvation I have come to your aid: I have created you and appointed you to be a covenant of the people, to restore the Land and reapportion the desolate estates,
to say to the captives, Come forth!and to those in darkness, Show yourselves! They shall feed along the way and find pasture on all barren heights;
they shall not hunger or thirst, nor be smitten by the heatwave or the sun: he who has mercy on them will guide them; he will lead them by springs of water.
All my mountain ranges I will appoint as roads; my highways shall be on high.
See these, coming from afar, these, from the northwest, and these, from the land of Sinim.
Shout, O heavens; celebrate, O earth! Burst into song, O mountains! Jehovah is comforting his people, showing compassion for his afflicted."
Isaiah 51:16 "And I have put my words in thy mouth, and I have covered thee in the shadow of mine hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion, Thou art my people."
Isaiah 52:7-9 "How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!
Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the Lord shall bring again Zion.
Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem: for the Lord hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem."

Book of Tobit Excerpts from
"The Book of Tobit, set in the 8th century BC, is believed to have been written after Ezras time, placing it outside the shorter Hebrew Canon.
Despite this, it found a place in the Greek Septuagint Old Testament, revered in both Catholic and Orthodox Christian traditions, and included in the Apocrypha of the King James Bible.
It precedes wisdom literature like Psalms, reflecting its rich narrative within the broader biblical context.
Archangel Raphael : Known as Medicine of God and appearing under the guise of Azarias, Raphael plays a crucial role, guiding Tobias the Younger, bringing healing, and revealing the workings of the divine.
5 key themes of the Book of Tobit: 1) Divine providence and guidance. The Book of Tobit illustrates the theme of divine providence. It shows how Gods plan intricately unfolds in the lives of Tobit and Tobias.
Despite their suffering, they remain faithful, and God responds by sending the Archangel Raphael to guide them.
Raphael s journey with Tobias highlights how divine assistance often comes in unexpected forms and requires trust in Gods mysterious ways.
Its all about seeing the invisible hand at work, orchestrating events from behind the scenes.
From Tobias journey to Saras liberation from her curse, every twist and turn is a testament to the fact that were never really alone.
The presence of the Archangel Raphael , moving under the guise of Azarias, is a powerful reminder.
2) Almsgiving and righteousness. Another central theme in Tobit is the importance of almsgiving and living a righteous life.
Tobits charitable acts, despite his own hardship, exemplify how adherence to Gods commandments brings spiritual reward.
Do that which is good and no harm shall come to thee, echoes not only in Tobit (4:16) but also resonates deeply with the Golden Rule found across ethical systems.
We, as Christians, should ask ourselves as we ponder these words:
How often do my actions reflect this principle?
Its about seeing the face of God in others and acting accordingly.
3) Suffering as a test of faith. How many times have you asked yourself why do we suffer as humans?
Well, Tobits story portrays suffering not as a divine punishment but as a test of faith.
Both Tobit and Sara endure trials that test their trust in God.
It challenges the conventional view, inviting us to see trials not as divine displeasure but as opportunities for growth and deepening of trust in God.
Through Tobit and Saras ordeals, were taught that enduring hardship with faith can lead to divine intervention and blessings.
This perspective shifts our understanding of suffering from a burden to a pathway towards spiritual enrichment and closer communion with the divine.
4) Sanctity of marriage. You probably understand that in Christianity, marriage is more than a legal bond. Instead, it symbolizes the union between Christ and the Church a sacred covenant that mirrors divine love and commitment.
Simply put, marriage is two people coming together, not just in the eyes of the law, but in the eyes of God. These two people promise God to support, respect, and love each other through lifes challenges and joys.
Through Tobias and Saras story, the Book of Tobit celebrates the sanctity of marriage.
It presents marriage as a holy covenant blessed by God, one that should be entered with purity and reverence.
Their story underscores the belief that marriage is under Gods care and guidance, emphasizing its spiritual significance beyond the physical union.
5) Role of angels and intercession. Finally, the presence of Raphael underscores the role of angels in human lives.
Raphael , the Medicine of God, serves not only as a healer but as a tangible manifestation of Gods care and intervention.
Raphael s journey with Tobias underscores the belief that we are never alone divine assistance and guidance are always at hand, especially in moments of uncertainty and need.
Raphael s role highlights the comforting and protective aspects of faith, reassuring us that, amidst lifes trials, theres a benevolent force watching over us, ready to guide and heal."
Mark 1:13 "And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him."
Luke 22:43 "And he was withdrawn from them about a stones cast, and kneeled down, and prayed,
Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.
And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him.
And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground."
John 5:2-14, especially verse 4: "For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had."

Revelation 20:1-3 "And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season."
1 Nephi 14:7, 26 (all spoken from an the angel Raphael, who spoke to Nephi from 1 Nephi 11:14 to 1 Nephi 14:29) "For the time cometh, saith the Lamb of God, that I will work a great and a marvelous work among the children of men; a work which shall be everlasting, either on the one hand or on the other, either to the convincing of them unto peace and life eternal, or unto the deliverance of them to the hardness of their hearts and the blindness of their minds unto their being brought down into captivity, and also into destruction, both temporally and spiritually, according to the captivity of the devil, of which I have spoken.
. . . And also others who have been, to them hath he shown all things, and they have written them; and they are sealed up to come forth in their purity, according to the truth which is in the Lamb, in the own due time of the Lord, unto the house of Israel."
1 Nephi 21:1-13 (compare Isaiah chapter 49) "And again: Hearken, O ye house of Israel, all ye that are broken off and are driven out because of the wickedness of the pastors of my people; yea, all ye that are broken off, that are scattered abroad, who are of my people, O house of Israel. Listen, O isles, unto me, and hearken ye people from far; the Lord hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name.
And he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand hath he hid me, and made me a polished shaft; in his quiver hath he hid me;
And said unto me: Thou art my servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified.
Then I said, I have labored in vain, I have spent my strength for naught and in vain; surely my judgment is with the Lord, and my work with my God.
And now, saith the Lordthat formed me from the womb that I should be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the Lord, and my God shall be my strength.
And he said: It is a light thing that thou shouldst be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel. I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the ends of the earth.
Thus saith the Lord, the Redeemer of Israel, his Holy One, to him whom man despiseth, to him whom the nations abhorreth, to servant of rulers: Kings shall see and arise, princes also shall worship, because of the Lord that is faithful.
Thus saith the Lord: In an acceptable time have I heard thee, O isles of the sea, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee; and I will preserve thee, and give thee my servant for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages;
That thou mayest say to the prisoners: Go forth; to them that sit in darkness: Show yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall be in all high places.
They shall not hunger nor thirst, neither shall the heat nor the sun smite them; for he that hath mercy on them shall lead them, even by the springs of water shall he guide them.
And I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways shall be exalted.
And then, O house of Israel, behold, these shall come from far; and lo, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Sinim.
Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; for the feet of those who are in the east shall be established; and break forth into singing, O mountains; for they shall be smitten no more; for the Lord hath comforted his people, and will have mercy upon his afflicted."
2 Nephi 6:9-18 (This angel Jacob refers to is R) "Nevertheless, the Lord has shown unto me that they should return again. And he also has shown unto me that the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, should manifest himself unto them in the flesh; and after he should manifest himself they should scourge him and crucify him, according to the words of the angel who spake it unto me.
And after they have hardened their hearts and stiffened their necks against the Holy One of Israel, behold, the judgments of the Holy One of Israel shall come upon them. And the day cometh that they shall be smitten and afflicted.
Wherefore, after they are driven to and fro, for thus saith the angel, many shall be afflicted in the flesh, and shall not be suffered to perish, because of the prayers of the faithful; they shall be scattered, and smitten, and hated; nevertheless, the Lord will be merciful unto them, that when they shall come to the knowledge of their Redeemer, they shall be gathered together again to the lands of their inheritance.
And blessed are the Gentiles, they of whom the prophet has written; for behold, if it so be that they shall repent and fight not against Zion, and do not unite themselves to that great and abominable church, they shall be saved; for the Lord God will fulfil his covenants which he has made unto his children; and for this cause the prophet has written these things.
Wherefore, they that fight against Zion and the covenant people of the Lord shall lick up the dust of their feet; and the people of the Lord shall not be ashamed. For the people of the Lord are they who wait for him; for they still wait for the coming of the Messiah.
And behold, according to the words of the prophet, the Messiah will set himself again the second time to recover them; wherefore, he will manifest himself unto them in power and great glory, unto the destruction of their enemies, when that day cometh when they shall believe in him; and none will he destroy that believe in him.
And they that believe not in him shall be destroyed, both by fire, and by tempest, and by earthquakes, and by bloodsheds, and by pestilence, and by famine. And they shall know that the Lord is God, the Holy One of Israel.
For shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered?
But thus saith the Lord: Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered; for the Mighty God shall deliver his covenant people. For thus saith the Lord: I will contend with them that contendeth with thee
And I will feed them that oppress thee, with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood as with sweet wine; and all flesh shall know that I the Lord am thy Savior and thy Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob."
2 Nephi 8:16 "And I have put my words in thy mouth, and have covered thee in the shadow of mine hand, that I may plant the heavens and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion: Behold, thou art my people."
2 Nephi 21:1-2 (compare Isaiah 11:1-2) "And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a branch shall grow out of his roots.
And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord;"
Helaman 14:9, 26-28: "And behold, thus hath the Lord commanded me, by his angel, that I should come and tell this thing unto you; yea, he hath commanded that I should prophesy these things unto you; yea, he hath said unto me: Cry unto this people, repent and prepare the way of the Lord.
. . . And behold, thus hath the angel spoken unto me; for he said unto me that there should be thunderings and lightnings for the space of many hours.
And he said unto me that while the thunder and the lightning lasted, and the tempest, that these things should be, and that darkness should cover the face of the whole earth for the space of three days.
And the angel said unto me that many shall see greater things than these, to the intent that they might believe that these signs and these wonders should come to pass upon all the face of this land, to the intent that there should be no cause for unbelief among the children of men"
3 Nephi 17:24 "And he spake unto the multitude, and said unto them: Behold your little ones.
And as they looked to behold they cast their eyes towards heaven, and they saw the heavens open, and they saw angels descending out of heaven as it were in the midst of fire; and they came down and encircled those little ones about, and they were encircled about with fire; and the angels did minister unto them.
And the multitude did see and hear and bear record; and they know that their record is true for they all of them did see and hear, every man for himself; and they were in number about two thousand and five hundred souls; and they did consist of men, women, and children."
3 Nephi 19: 14-15 "And behold, they were encircled about as if it were by fire; and it came down from heaven, and the multitude did witness it, and did bear record; and angels did come down out of heaven and did minister unto them.

3 Nephi 20:40 "And then shall they say: How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings unto them, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings unto them of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion: Thy God reigneth!"
3 Nephi 21:8-9 "And when that day shall come, it shall come to pass that kings shall shut their mouths; for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider.
For in that day, for my sake shall the Father work a work, which shall be a great and a marvelous work among them; and there shall be among them those who will not believe it, although a man shall declare it unto them."
3 Nephi 24:1 "And it came to pass that he commanded them that they should write the words which the Father had given unto Malachi, which he should tell unto them. And it came to pass that after they were written he expounded them. And these are the words which he did tell unto them, saying: Thus said the Father unto MalachiBehold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me, and the Lord whom ye seek shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in; behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of Hosts."
D&C 77:12 Q. What are we to understand by the sounding of the trumpets, mentioned in the 8th chapter of Revelation? A. We are to understand that as God made the world in six days, and on the seventh day he finished his work, and sanctified it, and also formed man out of the dust of the earth, even so, in the beginning of the seventh thousand years will the Lord God sanctify the earth, and complete the salvation of man, and judge all things, and shall redeem all things, except that which he hath not put into his power, when he shall have sealed all things, unto the end of all things; and the sounding of the trumpets of the seven angels are the preparing and finishing of his work, in the beginning of the seventh thousand years, the preparing of the way before the time of his coming.
D&C 85:7 "And it shall come to pass that I, the Lord God, will send one mighty and strong, holding the scepter of power in his hand, clothed with light for a covering, whose mouth shall utter words, eternal words; while his bowels shall be a fountain of truth, to set in order the house of God, and to arrange by lot the inheritances of the saints whose names are found, and the names of their fathers, and of their children, enrolled in the book of the law of God;"
D&C 86:811 "Therefore, thus saith the Lord unto you, with whom the priesthood hath continued through the lineage of your fathers
For ye are lawful heirs, according to the flesh, and have been hid from the world with Christ in God
Therefore your life and the priesthood have remained, and must needs remain through you and your lineage until the restoration of all things spoken by the mouths of all the holy prophets since the world began.
Therefore, blessed are ye if ye continue in my goodness, a light unto the Gentiles, and through this priesthood, a savior unto my people Israel. The Lord hath said it. Amen."
D&C 88:1-3-104 "And another trump shall sound, which is the fifth trump, which is the fifth angel who committeth the everlasting gospel, flying through the midst of heaven, unto all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people;
And this shall be the sound of his trump, saying to all people, both in heaven and in earth, and that are under the earth, for every ear shall hear it, and every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall confess, while they hear the sound of the trump, saying: Fear God, and give glory to him who sitteth upon the throne, forever and ever; for the hour of his judgment is come."
D&C 128:20-21 "And again, what do we hear? Glad tidings from Cumorah! Moroni, an angel from heaven, declaring the fulfilment of the prophets, the book to be revealed. A voice of the Lord in the wilderness of Fayette, Seneca county, declaring the three witnesses to bear record of the book! The voice of Michael on the banks of the Susquehanna, detecting the devil when he appeared as an angel of light! The voice of Peter, James, and John in the wilderness between Harmony, Susquehanna county, and Colesville, Broome county, on the Susquehanna river, declaring themselves as possessing the keys of the kingdom, and of the dispensation of the fulness of times!
And again, the voice of God in the chamber of old Father Whitmer, in Fayette, Seneca county, and at sundry times, and in divers places through all the travels and tribulations of this Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints! And the voice of Michael, the archangel; the voice of Gabriel, and of Raphael , and of divers angels, from Michael or Adam down to the present time, all declaring their dispensation, their rights, their keys, their honors, their majesty and glory, and the power of their priesthood; giving line upon line, precept upon precept; here a little, and there a little; giving us consolation by holding forth that which is to come, confirming our hope!"
Moses 7:62-64 "And righteousness will I send down out of heaven; and truth will I send forth out of the earth, to bear testimony of mine Only Begotten; his resurrection from the dead; yea, and also the resurrection of all men; and righteousness and truth will I cause to sweep the earth as with a flood, to gather out mine elect from the four quarters of the earth, unto a place which I shall prepare, an Holy City, that my people may gird up their loins, and be looking forth for the time of my coming; for there shall be my tabernacle, and it shall be called Zion, a New Jerusalem.
And the Lord said unto Enoch: Then shalt thou and all thy city meet them there, and we will receive them into our bosom, and they shall see us; and we will fall upon their necks, and they shall fall upon our necks, and we will kiss each other;
And there shall be mine abode, and it shall be Zion, which shall come forth out of all the creations which I have made; and for the space of a thousand years the earth shall rest."
Joseph Smith History 1:36 "After telling me these things, he commenced quoting the prophecies of the Old Testament. He first quoted part of the third chapter of Malachi"
Book of Enoch, chapter 40:8-9 "Who are those whom I have seen on the four sides, and whose words I have heard and written down? He replied. The first is the merciful, the patient, the holy Michael.
The second is he who presides over every suffering and every affliction of the sons of men, the holy Raphael . The third, who presides overall that is powerful, is Gabriel. And the fourth, who presides over repentance, and the hope of those who will inherit eternal life, is Phanuel. These are the four angels of the most high God, and their four voices, which at that time I heard."
Book of Tobit Raphael is mentioned in the book of Tobit (an apocryphal book revered by the Catholic Church and others). In the book of Tobit, he healed a blind person and told him he was the angel Raphael , one of seven, who stand before the Lord (Tobit 12:15). He is venerated as Saint Raphael the Archangel. An Archangel is an angel of high rank. In the Greek, it means literally chief angel.
Book of Tobit 12:12-22 "Now therefore, when thou didst pray, and Sara thy daughter in law, I did bring the remembrance of your prayers before the Holy One: and when thou didst bury the dead, I was with thee likewise.
And when thou didst not delay to rise up, and leave thy dinner, to go and cover the dead, thy good deed was not hid from me: but I was with thee.
And now God hath sent me to heal thee and Sara thy daughter in law.
I am Raphael, one of the seven holy angels, which present the prayers of the saints, and which go in and out before the glory of the Holy One.
Then they were both troubled, and fell upon their faces: for they feared.
But he said unto them, Fear not, for it shall go well with you; praise God therefore.
For not of any favour of mine, but by the will of our God I came; wherefore praise him for ever.
All these days I did appear unto you; but I did neither eat nor drink, but ye did see a vision.
Now therefore give God thanks: for I go up to him that sent me; but write all things which are done in a book.
And when they arose, they saw him no more.
Then they confessed the great and wonderful works of God, and how the angel of the Lord had appeared unto them."

22 Brethren, shall we not go on in so great a cause? Go forward and not backward. Courage, brethren; and on, on to the victory! Let your hearts rejoice, and be exceedingly glad. Let the earth break forth into singing. Let the dead speak forth anthems of eternal praise to the King Immanuel, who hath ordained, before the world was, that which would enable us to redeem them out of their prison; for the prisoners shall go free.
23 Let the mountains shout for joy, and all ye valleys cry aloud; and all ye seas and dry lands tell the wonders of your Eternal King! And ye rivers, and brooks, and rills, flow down with gladness. Let the woods and all the trees of the field praise the Lord; and ye solid rocks weep for joy! And let the sun, moon, and the morning stars sing together, and let all the sons of God shout for joy! And let the eternal creations declare his name forever and ever! And again I say, how glorious is the voice we hear from heaven, proclaiming in our ears, glory, and salvation, and honor, and immortality, and eternal life; kingdoms, principalities, and powers!
60N21-60N23, from R: "All the angels who help bless and deliver the elect, or even those who initiate calamity on the earth, can align their thoughts as much as possible in positive ways that will in turn create feelings of protection, trust, deliverance, relief, etc.
We all really have everything going for us, in the way of great blessings from God! We are trained, empowered, and taught. We have no need to fear or dwell in any negative emotions. We have all reason to be cheerful, positive and have feelings of being so blessed and trusted by God. Our Heavenly Parents and Jesus Christ are always by our side and will never let us falter, as long as we go forward in faith and obedience in the actions they will require of us.
D&C 128:22-23-
"Brethren, shall we not go on in so great a cause? Go forward and not backward. Courage, brethren; and on, on to the victory! Let your hearts rejoice, and be exceedingly glad. Let the earth break forth into singing. Let the dead speak forth anthems of eternal praise to the King Immanuel, who hath ordained, before the world was, that which would enable us to redeem them out of their prison; for the prisoners shall go free.
Let the mountains shout for joy, and all ye valleys cry aloud; and all ye seas and dry lands tell the wonders of your Eternal King! And ye rivers, and brooks, and rills, flow down with gladness. Let the woods and all the trees of the field praise the Lord; and ye solid rocks weep for joy! And let the sun, moon, and the morning stars sing together, and let all the sons of God shout for joy! And let the eternal creations declare his name forever and ever! And again I say, how glorious is the voice we hear from heaven, proclaiming in our ears, glory, and salvation, and honor, and immortality, and eternal life; kingdoms, principalities, and powers!""

4 In answer to the questionIs not the reckoning of Gods time, angels time, prophets time, and mans time, according to the planet on which they reside?
5 I answer, Yes. But there are no angels who minister to this earth but those who do belong or have belonged to it.
30D5: "Q- Are the aliens that people have reported to have seen, are they really fallen spirits, or Satan and his hosts, pretending to be from another planet or galaxy?
A- Yes, these are fallen spirits. See D&C 130:5 'But there are no angels who minister to this earth but those who do belong or have belonged to it.' This means also that there are no real aliens. Those pretending to be such are from Satan and his hosts."

Doctrine & Covenants 130:6-7
6 The angels do not reside on a planet like this earth;
7 But they reside in the presence of God, on a globe like a sea of glass and fire, where all things for their glory are manifest, past, present, and future, and are continually before the Lord.
156K2-156K17: "Heavenly Father appeared before me and asked me to walk with him! We walked along his road going north, alongside of his river.
After a moment he spoke: 'Raphael, your Heavenly Mother, Jesus Christ our Beloved Son, and I see the past, present and future as easily as you see the present moment. Speaking of this celestial orb, Joseph Smith our prophet wrote this:
D&C 130:6-7-"The angels do not reside on a planet like this earth.
But they reside in the presence of God, on a globe like a sea of glass and fire, where all things to their glory are manifest, past, present and future, and are continually before the Lord."
You reside here on our celestial orb in your replicated state, even while your mortal body lives on the earth. We have withheld from you all the past, present and future in your conscious mind, for you are still mortal. We also reveal all things to you, whether past, present or future, even according to our will. However, we who are your Gods see all past and future events, easily as we see the present.
We therefore may guide you and reveal to you things and events in your own future that you cannot see. As you come to us in prayer, we will reveal to you hidden things, as we desire.
It is our intent to show you hidden things, even before they happen. We also show you things as they really are, for there is so much disinformation, or falsehoods that you read or hear about, that it is difficult to know the truth of what is really happening in your mortal world, or what has happened in the past.
Amos 3:7-"Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets."
You are our prophet of the Church of the Firstborn, our celestial church. Through you we will manifest things to come before they come. We ask you to record our revelations in your journal to verify to the world that you are our prophet.
We also will reveal all things, according to the diligent heed and petitions of our own elect. As they inquire of us, we too will guide and direct them with revelation, giving them precious knowledge and truths. We are free with our truths that we reveal, and do not limit ourselves, but give revelation upon revelation to the humble and open who seek us.
2 Nephi 29:8-9, 11-
"Wherefore murmur ye, because that ye shall receive more of my word? Know ye not that the testimony of two nations (or individuals) is a witness unto you that I am God, that I remember one nation (or person) like unto another? Wherefore, I speak the same words unto one nation (or individual) like unto another. And when the two nations shall run together the testimony of the two nations shall run together also.
And I do this that I may prove unto many that I am the same yesterday, today, and forever; and that I speak forth my words according to mine own pleasure. And because that I have spoken one word ye need not suppose that I cannot speak another; for my work is not yet finished; neither shall it be until the end of man, neither from that time henceforth and forever. . .
For I command all men (and women), both in the east and in the west, and in the north, and in the south, and in the islands of the sea, that they shall write the words which I speak unto them; for out of the books which shall be written I will judge the world, every man according to their works, according to that which is written." (words in parenthesis added by Heavenly Father).
Raphael, it is time for those who support you, and all our mortal angels and celestial servants on the earth, and even all of our elect, to record their own revelations that we give to them. We also want them to write the events of these times they live in, for their benefit and for those of future generations.
Your Heavenly Mother, Jesus Christ and I are free with our truths and revelations, and we will share these with all people who humbly and openly seek us in the energy of their soul. Our words will be congruent and a witness of each other's revelations.
You are the head at this time, and we will continue to share with you in particular, the events and issues that are secret and hidden. Your record will reveal things never yet revealed to man:
D&C 101:32-34-
"Yea, verily I say unto you, in that day when the Lord shall come, he shall reveal all things
Things which have passed, and hidden things which no man knew, things of the earth, by which it was made, and the purpose and the end thereof
Things most precious, things that are above, and things that are beneath, things that are in the earth, and upon the earth, and in heaven."
It is good that those on your small email list share with you our choice revelations and experiences that we have shared with them. Continue to share these in your posts, as they give you their permission. These other records are our second witnesses to your words, and should be compiled in part in one record, particularly now that these tribulations are intensifying. These records and posts will buoy you all up and strengthen each of you while you live through these calamities coming to the earth. They will also buoy and strengthen the faith of future generations.
Be faithful and obedient, and we will continue to reveal all things to you and those we love who support you. We will never leave your side!'"

Doctrine & Covenants 130:6-9
6 The angels do not reside on a planet like this earth;
7 But they reside in the presence of God, on a globe like a sea of glass and fire, where all things for their glory are manifest, past, present, and future, and are continually before the Lord.
8 The place where God resides is a great Urim and Thummim.
9 This earth, in its sanctified and immortal state, will be made like unto crystal and will be a Urim and Thummim to the inhabitants who dwell thereon, whereby all things pertaining to an inferior kingdom, or all kingdoms of a lower order, will be manifest to those who dwell on it; and this earth will be Christs.
86F3-86F7, from Heavenly Father: "The celestial angels, who minister to the terrestrial are those spoken of in D&C 130:6-9.
D&C 130:6-9-
"The angels do not reside on a planet like this earth;
But they reside in the presence of God, on a globe like a sea of glass and fire, where all things for their glory are manifest, past, present, and future, and are continually before the Lord.
The place where God resides is a great Urim and Thummim.
This earth, in its sanctified and immortal state, will be made like unto crystal and will be a Urim and Thummim to the inhabitants who dwell thereon, whereby all things pertaining to an inferior kingdom, or all kingdoms of a lower order, will be manifest to those who dwell on it; and this earth will be Christs."
These celestial angels are not exalted, nor have they received an inheritance of a God, but they dwell in a celestial world, and minister to the Gods who have received a far greater glory.
See D&C 131:1-4-
"In the celestial glory there are three heavens or degrees;
And in order to obtain the highest, a man must enter into this order of the priesthood [meaning the new and everlasting covenant of marriage];
And if he does not, he cannot obtain it.
He may enter into the other, but that is the end of his kingdom; he cannot have an increase."
Some of these celestial angels in eternity also are assigned to minister to those in the terrestrial worlds. These celestial angels direct the order and well being of those who dwell in the terrestrial worlds and also direct those who are terrestrial who minister to the telestial. Thus, each of these lower kingdoms are directed by the celestial. We, who are the Gods, direct the angels, and in turn, through their ministrations, know all that occurs and is happening to those in the terrestrial and telestial worlds. These are still the children of both Heavenly Mother and myself in eternity, but live in lower kingdoms of glory."
132F1-132F9: "I came this morning to my celestial orb, to the circling waters, in Heavenly Mother's upper gardens. It was sunny and already warm here, and so peaceful and pleasant! I wondered then how these could be called "everlasting burnings" (see Isaiah 33:14). I looked up on the Internet the "Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith", p. 367: "God Almighty himself dwells in eternal fire, flesh and blood cannot go there, for all corruptions is devoured by the fire. 'Our God is a consuming fire'. . .All men who are immortal dwell in everlasting burnings."
Also D&C 13:7-'But they reside in the presence of God, on a globe like a sea of glass and fire, where all things for their glory are manifest, past, present, and future, and are continually before the Lord."
I drank of living water from the circling pool of water, attached to the mountain stream. I knelt by the shore, and then asked for my Heavenly Father and or Heavenly Mother to come to me in answer to my prayer.
Heavenly Father then appeared before me, a foot or so above the waters! He was bright in his glory, and I felt his Holy Spirit, even of the light of his presence, come into me and shine upon me. Heavenly Father was smiling, and I knew he loved and accepted me!
Heavenly Father then spoke: 'Raphael, you are changed from a mortal state of flesh and blood to a state of a celestial translated being, who is cleansed and purified of your sins. Therefore, you may come into the glory of my presence, for you are yourself brought into our celestial realm on our heavenly orb, and may view me as I stand before you.
Were you of our carnal world, or of the telestial, you could not endure my presence. In this case you would be consumed by the power of my celestial glory. This glory, to the telestial, appears as a burning fire of intense light and heat. However, to those of the celestial, you may receive my presence and glory, and even look upon my eyes and face, and be filled too by my glory. To you who are celestial, you see and dwell here in peaceful and pleasant surroundings, and are filled with joy.'
Were the telestial to look with a telescope into the night skies, and somehow view our celestial abode, on our celestial orb, he would appear as a very bright and intensely burning star. There would be no way for mortal man to approach this star, in their flesh, and hope to be able to survive.
However, you are of the celestial, Raphael! You are brought into our presence because you have been purified and cleansed by Jesus Christ, the Great Redeemer. You have been changed from a mortal telestial being to a celestial translated being. Your portal is celestial, and we allow you access to come freely into our beautiful celestial world. When I come from higher celestial realms of glory to you here, you receive my light and see my glory, and may dwell in my presence.
To the mortal, our celestial world is as a sea of glass and fire, where all the past, present and future are always manifest to us. We impart of our Godly powers to you, even as we desire.'"
133F3-133F27: "I had read a scripture last night about the "sea of glass" in the celestial world, or that it was like a sea of glass.
D&C 130:6-9
"The angels do not reside on a planet like this earth;
But they reside in the presence of God, on a globe like a sea of glass and fire, where all things for their glory are manifest, past, present, and future, and are continually before the Lord.
The place where God resides is a great Urim and Thummim.
This earth, in its sanctified and immortal state, will be made like unto crystal and will be a Urim and Thummim to the inhabitants who dwell thereon, whereby all things pertaining to an inferior kingdom, or all kingdoms of a lower order, will be manifest to those who dwell on it; and the earth will be Christ's."
There are also other references to a sea of glass like unto a crystal in the Book of Revelation (Revelation 4:6, 15:2, 21:18, 21). I wonder if God has more to reveal to me today about this sea of glass?
I came to the small pool of water in God's Loving Healing Center where I had gone before my trip to Oregon. My sister K had said it wasn't as big as I described she thought. Anyway, I came through the forest and came upon the forest pool. Its water was crystal clear. I took a more careful look and it seemed about six to eight feet or so across.
As I looked into this pool, I thought I could see myself writing in my journal on earth at this very moment! I then knelt by the edge and drank living water from my cupped hand. I felt enlightened and refreshed! I then prayed on my knees, facing the pool. As I waited, I looked again into the pool of water, as I felt prompted. I then felt I saw my Heavenly Mother under the surface of the water! She was bright and shining in light! She smiled at me and asked me to come through the water to her. I leaned over and immersed my head and body into the little pool and was soon before her, kneeling!
She immediately spoke to me:
'Raphael, I have invited you into our highest celestial realm, where we who are Gods dwell in our many creations. This realm that you have come from, in the celestial world, all looks even more vibrant and beautiful from this higher realm and appears at times like a sea of glass and fire. Our highest celestial realm is superimposed on this celestial orb and is protected from that realm by our highest celestial veil.
All of our earths and orb creations have a highest celestial realm. This is where we go when we visit these kingdoms. We may look into the lower kingdoms of glory at anytime, from our highest celestial realm that is superimposed on them. We may then see into these kingdoms past, present and future, even as we wish. This feature then becomes a great Urim and Thummim for us who are ordained Gods.
When giving the revelations to John the Beloved, or later to Joseph Smith the prophet, about the sea of glass, they didn't understand the features of the three veils. It is only in this highest celestial realm, past the highest celestial veil, that John and Joseph saw this sea of glass. I had brought each of them into this highest realm where they saw this sea of glass. Today I want to show you, too, this feature of our highest celestial realm!'
She then took my hand and we were instantly on the bluff facing God's Loving Healing Lake below us to the north. I could also see God's temple to the far distant north.
Heavenly Mother spoke: 'Raphael, I will touch your eyes now with my fingers so that you may see this beautiful celestial orb from my perspective in this highest celestial realm!'
She then touched my eyes with the fingers of her left hand. I was still holding hands with her right hand.
I then looked down on the lake and it seemed very surreal, glowing brighter and even glass-like. I looked on the switchback and the shore on the northern and western parts of the lake area where I had come many times before. It too then became surreal and almost transparent! I could see why it too could be called like a sea of glass, for I could see through it if I desired and see it even in its present state, or past state, or future state! I hadn't yet seen it in the past or future, but I knew I could if I wanted.
Heavenly Mother spoke: 'Raphael, let's now look at the lake at the beginning of your own eternity!'
We both looked and I saw more trees and even a forest on the northern shores of this beautiful glass-like and transparent lake. I saw that this entire area was more like a wilderness area. I knew I had frequented here in my early years as a young spirit son of my Heavenly Parents.
I then saw myself as a young spirit, with some of my spirit siblings who had hiked with me to this wilderness lake, come to its shore! We all ran into the refreshing waters of the lake and swam around together, laughing and playing a tag game of some sort. We seemed to be having so much fun! I then saw my Heavenly Parents appear on the shore, holding hands and sitting on the bench. They too were laughing and smiling while they watched us, their sons and daughters, play and swim in the waters of the lake.
This scene was so very joyful and such a happy scene! Suddenly I felt I was actually my very early spirit, swimming and playing with my siblings! I felt the excitement of a new spirit body and the child-like fun of being with my brothers and sisters. I looked carefully, trying to recognize any of these spirits and I then saw my sister K and my now angel friend, S.A.! I also saw my older archangel brother, Gabriel. We were all so carefree and unaware of our future roles. We were in the first heaven of celestial glory, in our pre-mortal state.
I perceive this all in my unconscious mind, even in a meditative state. I am writing this all down as I "see" it all in my mind's eyes! This is a very remarkable experience! It all seems so dreamlike and surreal, but at the same time so true and accurate.
'Raphael, what you see in your mind's eye is true! You have connected into your unconscious mind where you are with me in the highest celestial realm. Feel my right hand that is holding your hand!' She then squeezed my hand and we were next above her temple in the air. I saw the fountain of living water, the three rivers that came from the fountain, and all the lands round about.
She spoke: 'Raphael, we are still in my highest celestial realm. What we will see below us is in the future day, in your own eternity, when you will have just received your own final eternal ordinances in the New Jerusalem temple on the earth. You will be the last one to receive these of all our faithful elect. You have all assembled outside our temple on the north side, awaiting our instructions on the sealing ordinances we three Gods would soon do.'
I then saw scores of the righteous, all awaiting the appearance of Heavenly Father, Heavenly Mother and Jesus Christ, coming out of the front doors of their temple. We were all celestial sons and daughters of God, each next to our own chosen spouse and companion. We were waiting with anticipation!
The entire crowd then seemed so filled with light, to where we all became like transparent spirits. The celestial orb below us seemed also to transform and become like a sea of glass. We each saw our own lives before us in visions in our own minds! We saw this by the power of God, like we were looking into a great Urim and Thummim, just for us that showed us our total existence up to that point.
Heavenly Mother squeezed my hand next and spoke to me: 'Raphael, you may see this beautiful scene before you from our highest celestial realm and because I am showing this vision to you now. This ability to do so is because we are in the highest celestial realm and because I have godly powers to show all of this to you.
This same sort of scene was shown to our servants John and Joseph, in vision. They wrote what they saw and perceived from this highest celestial realm. What you read in your scriptures about the sea of glass is what they saw.
One correction I would make: when Joseph Smith wrote in D&C 130:6-7 that angels live on a globe like a sea of glass and fire, it would better be written "that the gods live on a globe like a sea of glass and fire." Angels, like you, will become gods in eternity, and will no longer keep their angel missions or roles.
Raphael, whenever your Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, or I wish to see any past, present or future time, we merely have to think to do so and it will happen before our eyes, in this higher celestial realm. We see all, and there is nothing hid that we cannot see in our own galaxy and among our own creations. We are the Gods and creators of all!'
I then faced my Heavenly Mother. Her eyes were bright and sparkling. She was smiling so broadly and so full of joy it seemed! She pulled me close and we embraced and she kissed me. I melted into her arms, so that I felt her intense, overwhelming love and acceptance of her children! I thanked her in my mind for her revelation today and for her great love for all of us, her children.
My vision then closed and I found myself in my conscious mind, writing all of this down in my earthly journal. Wow, this was a great prayer this morning!"

Doctrine & Covenants 130:9-11
9 This earth, in its sanctified and immortal state, will be made like unto crystal and will be a Urim and Thummim to the inhabitants who dwell thereon, whereby all things pertaining to an inferior kingdom, or all kingdoms of a lower order, will be manifest to those who dwell on it; and this earth will be Christs.
10 Then the white stone mentioned in Revelation 2:17, will become a Urim and Thummim to each individual who receives one, whereby things pertaining to a higher order of kingdoms will be made known;
11 And a white stone is given to each of those who come into the celestial kingdom, whereon is a new name written, which no man knoweth save he that receiveth it. The new name is the key word.
79A1-79A5: "I came home tonight to the desert oasis. I felt settled and clear. I didn't even have to drink living water, for I felt already extremely clarified! I knelt in the sand facing the oasis in front of the bench. I asked for Elohim to come.
I saw a bright light come above the water and then move towards me. I could see my Heavenly Mother in the light! I didn't see Heavenly Father.
Heavenly Mother wanted me to write her words she would speak to me:
'Raphael, you have experienced extreme clarity tonight so that you didn't need to drink living water to attain your clarity. We gave you an infusion of light this morning and I gave you my blessing. This is the cause for you feeling so clear now.
We desire our children to progress line upon line, here a little and there a little and precept by precept. In this way we gradually reveal our ways and revelations to our people. They will demonstrate to us their obedience and their ability to assimilate our revelations. We thereby do not overwhelm them, but give them just enough to continue to challenge them in becoming more and more like us.
This is how we have been tutoring you. However, this morning was a great leap for your progress, Raphael, which happens only occasionally. We gave you a boost of light that will continue to remain with you. You were also given food from me at my glass table to strengthen you in your mortal body. I occasionally feed you to strengthen you in a particular area of need, like your mortal needs. With this additional light and nourishment, you will now be able to progress easier in the areas we require. You were struggling up to this morning because you were doing more than you were capable, and became emotionally fragile. Now you are able to act in strength and have no fragility.
Raphael, as you continue to progress and as we continue to load more tasks and missions upon you, you will again reach another threshold of not coping well. We will boost you again with our light and nourishment, making you gradually more and more capable to meet the demands of your calling.
We are pleased with your progress, Raphael! We desire all our holy angels to progress also, as fast as they are able. They will then become more profitable servants to us, their Gods.'
At this time it seemed that the oasis, the ground around me, my Heavenly Mother and I all became very clear! We were shining brightly as was the water and the celestial orb. It was like the transparent glass spoken of in the scriptures:
D&C 130:9 "This earth, in its sanctified and immortal state, will be made like unto a crystal and will be a Urim and Thummim to the inhabitants who dwell thereon"
I then lost my connection to my replicated self. I believe I continued with my Heavenly Mother in that clear beautiful setting, all done in my replicated celestial self. I closed my prayer and went to bed."
85D10-85D17, from Heavenly Mother: "'Raphael, you received an email from S.L. about the new name. She wondered if this would have great importance to us. She also asked if our garments should still be worn. For those who received their temple garments prior to May 25, 2014, we approve the wearing of these garments. They remind the wearer of their covenants made in the day they made these with us, their God.
For those who made covenants in the temple on or after May 25, 2014, we have not accepted these since they were done without authority. The temple garment worn by these people offers no protection from us, or are worn without authorization from us, their Gods.
The new name is described in D&C 130:9-11, and Revelations 2:17.
D&C 130: 9-11
"This earth, in its sanctified and immortal state, will be made like unto crystal and will be a Urim and Thummim to the inhabitants who dwell thereon, whereby all things pertaining to an inferior kingdom, or all kingdoms of a lower order, will be manifest to those who dwell on it; and this earth will be Christ's.
Then the white stone mentioned in Revelation 2:17, will become a Urim and Thummim to each individual who receives one, whereby, things pertaining to a higher order of kingdoms will be made known;
And a white stone is given to each of those who come into the celestial kingdom, whereon is a new name written, which no man knoweth save he that receiveth it. The new name is the key word."
Revelations 2:17
"He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it."
Raphael, the inhabitants of the earth, in its sanctified and immortal state, are those who are Gods ordained by your Heavenly Father and I to dwell on the sanctified earth. They each receive an inheritance on a special part of the earth, just for them. They are husbands and wives, gods and goddesses, kings and queens, priests and high priestesses.
These are those who receive a white stone from us, their Gods, after their ordinations. Each is individually created by either or both of us, their Heavenly Parents. This is a private Urim and Thummim for each to help them initially navigate in their new calling and positions. One is given to the man and one to the woman, each who are sealed together in eternity. Each has a new name written on their white stone that is their personal Urim and Thummim. This is a private gift to these, our son or daughter, from us, their parents. They become like us, all knowing and all powerful, joint heirs with each of our other exalted children.
In their Urim and Thummim, the exalted son or daughter may look and see things pertaining to this high order of being a god. They consult together, with us, or with other exalted individuals or couples, or they may look into their white stone, their personal Urim and Thummim. Each time they look into their stone, they need to know or think of the new name that is written on the stone in order to operate the stone as their own Urim and Thummim.
These new names are assigned by us, their Heavenly Parents, to each faithful son and daughter. In time, they may not need to access their white stone so frequently as at the first.
We still cherish our white stones that we were given by our own Heavenly Parents. We each protect our own new name, for it is our password in using our own white stone, our own Urim and Thummim.
In the temples of the Church of Christ, a new name is given. However, this is only a practice name, and is not the new name in eternity on the white stone. In the New Jerusalem temple, a new name is not given by the angels who administer this part of the initiatory ordinances. Instead, the angels promise that a new name will be given by us, their Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother, in a future day after they receive their ordinations to godhood.
When passing through the veil of the New Jerusalem temple, the new name is not required for entry. When we, the Heavenly Father or Heavenly Mother of our child, receive them through the veil, we promise to our child that they will receive a white stone from us with a new name engraven on it.
There is also reference in Revelation 2:17 to the hidden manna. This is the first ceremonial food that we prepare for our exalted children who receive their ordination to become gods. It is a special manna, or bread, we prepare for their entry into their new role as husband and wife, to be able to procreate their own offspring in eternity. Only those who attain to this status and exaltation may receive this hidden manna. This is the only time that hidden manna is partaken of by this sealed and exalted couple. After this time, they may create offspring throughout the eternities.'
I looked into the face of my Heavenly Mother. She was beaming with a warm smile. She had shared with me a precious truth, possibly never revealed before to man or woman! I humbly bowed my head and thanked her for her revelation to me! I felt so honored to have received and written this."
87E9-87E12, from Heavenly Mother: "Raphael, you have continually been coming into our presence for several years now. This is in the celestial realms that we have communed with you and given you our revelations. Satan and his followers can only appear to mankind in the telestial realm. They work from beneath, in realms of darkness and misery. However, they may tempt our children who live in the mortal telestial world.
Once our children are elevated to a higher, or terrestrial sphere, Satan cannot tempt them. They are free in this realm from all the adversary's tRs and temptations. Your shields of the Father that protect you from Satan are in the terrestrial realms. This higher realm keeps you on a higher level always, away from Satan.
We who dwell in celestial glory may see down to the terrestrial and also to the telestial realms. We are fully aware of all of the activities in these lower regions. We see all of our creations at whatever level or sphere they may exist. This is true for those creations in their probationary or mortal estates, or those in their inhabited worlds in eternity. Therefore, all inhabitants and creations of a lower or inferior order or kingdom are manifest to us:
D&C 130:9
"This earth, in its sanctified and immortal state, will be made like unto crystal and will be a Urim and Thummim to the inhabitants who dwell thereon, wherein all things pertaining to an inferior kingdom, or all kingdoms of a lower order, will be manifest to those who dwell on it; and this earth is Christ's."
This is the precise manner in which we who dwell on this celestial orb may view those in lower kingdoms. Raphael, at the beginning of the millennium, after the glorious second coming of Jesus Christ, the earth will be elevated completely to a terrestrial glory. Of necessity, Satan will need to depart into the lower regions where the deep recesses of the earth have not been changed to a terrestrial glory. This is the region of the bottomless pit."

Doctrine & Covenants 130:14-15
14 I was once praying very earnestly to know the time of the coming of the Son of Man, when I heard a voice repeat the following:
15 Joseph, my son, if thou livest until thou art eighty-five years old, thou shalt see the face of the Son of Man; therefore let this suffice, and trouble me no more on this matter.
Sat, November 23, 2024
Over the past few days, I had an impression that the second coming wasn't fixed as an exact time, Instead, it was somehow determined by how wicked the world became.
Today I humbly asked Heavenly Mother to postpone the destruction of our freedoms in this country, the United States of America, now that Donald Trump won the popular and electoral election for the President of the United States, as did other Republicans for who gained the majority of the Senate seats and House of Representatives seats. I said to her, that to me with my perspective, the American people have clearly spoken with their vote: they don't want the Deep State's programs of more government and control. They don't want restrictions on their freedoms, nor their socialists programs that have been pushed by our Democrat-led government in the last four years.
I waited for Heavenly Mother's response. I then felt that Heavenly Father joined her, and soon I heard Heavenly Father's voice in my mind.
In answer to my prayer tonight, Heavenly Father asked that I write his words. I had absolutely no idea what he would say:
"Raphael, this is your Heavenly Father speaking to your unconscious mind, by my Spirit.
Your Heavenly Mother and I have been waiting for your request. We have heard many of our righteous ones in your country, and from around the world, plead to us in prayer for us to hold back the evil plans of the adversary for a little while longer. As you know, there will be a time when evil will overcome the good in your country and the world, and then we will have no option but to fulfill the words of our prophets that we have inspired concerning the days immediately before the second coming of our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ.
Since you and our elect have asked us in faith, we will now move the day of destruction, planned by the evil ones, and the fulfillment of their sinister plans to a later time. We will also postpone the destructions and calamities upon your land and the world a little longer. We will halt the evil plans of the adversary, even Lucifer, and all of his demons and earthly followers, groups, industries and governments who seek to overthrow the freedom of all lands. We will extend four more years of relative peace in your own country, while your newly elected leaders and good people seek to route out the evil among you.
Raphael, there are many of the elect whom your Heavenly Mother and I have chosen, who need to be taught more fully and prepared for that which will come upon your telestial world as a whirlwind. This extra time of four years will give them the time to further choose to be aligned with the right, hearken to the whisperings of our Spirit, and to be taught from on high.
Raphael, you are still on schedule to complete your online first version of the Book of Raphael, both volumes one and two. This resource will be made available to our elect who hearken to our promptings, and to learn more from our Spirit by reading the words that we have and will continue to reveal to you. We would like you to continue to update this record with our new revelations, as we give them to you. Those who have interest to read and study your words, will primarily be our elect whom we will bring into the terrestrial millennial world, immediately after the second coming of our Beloved Son Jesus Christ. Thus our people will become more knowledgeable and committed in their religion, be further gathered and strengthened spiritually, and be taught by our revelations.
Raphael, the timing of the advent of the Son of Man to the earth, or the second coming of Jesus Christ in the clouds of heaven, is contingent upon the polarizing and wicked conditions of your world. When the righteous are prepared, and the wicked have fully chosen evil, creating a large division between these two groups, then we will be move forward with the last days calamities and destructions.
What is far more important to your Heavenly Mother, Jesus Christ, and me, than the exact timing of the events of the second coming, is the essential eternal ordinance work in our New Jerusalem celestial temple which has already begun! You are continuing, day by day, to administer in your replicated celestial body, the waters of separation ordinance to our elect with Oriphiel, our faithful witness and record-keeper. These newly elected individuals who are admitted as members of the Church of the Firstborn are almost exclusively those who have passed on and have been resurrected. These have all been proven and accepted by Jesus Christ, who has chosen them for entry into the Church of the Firstborn. Whether the millennium will have began or not, these celestial ordinances are moving forward, unaffected by the events of the telestial mortal world in which you live. This is the primary reason why the timing of the second coming of Jesus Christ is not fixed, for we have already set up the very most important event affecting the eternal life of our beloved elect children in the New Jerusalem temple."
I was very surprised and elated for this extra time we have to live in this world in relative peace! I will confirm all of this in prayer tonight and tomorrow. What a marvelous revelation from my Heavenly Father!
Later this evening: I prayed for confirmation from my Father in Heaven of the above revelation. He immediately came before me, and confirmed that what I had written was accurate, and agreeable to him. I still feel in awe over this revelation today! I plan to allow the importance of this to sink into my heart and soul over the next few days.
I also looked up my entry of May 6, 2024 under Genesis 48:16. Here is what my Heavenly Father stated to me at that time:
"Raphael, you have correctly written your understanding of what we will do for you over the next three years and two months. At the beginning of July, 2027, you will effectively be seventy years old in age, vitality and strength. The physical effects of aging over these past several years will be reversed. The past few years will have given you much greater understanding and empathy for those who are in the older stages of life, with the breakdown of their bodies as they approach death. This valuable experience will remain with you from now on."
According to what I have written today, the next four years will be in relative peace, or until November 2028. I will by then have been the effective age of seventy years old, on July 2027, or one year and five months earlier. I look forward to this time or renewed strength and vitality!
Sun, Nov 24, 2024
Just before bed last night, I communed in prayer with my Heavenly Mother. I clearly felt that all of the revelation that I had received earlier that evening was true, and written in an acceptable manner. At one point I heard, in my mind, her words saying that this revelation for a promised relative peace in my land of America would be fulfilled.
At church: during the sacrament today, I partook of the bread and then saw my Heavenly Father with Heavenly Mother on his left side. I made my covenant with them like I do weekly. When I was finished, Jesus Christ came on the right side of the Father, and stepped forward and addressed me. Here are his words:
"Raphael, your Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother accept your covenant today, and will send their Holy Spirit to be with you always. They will also be on your right side and on your left, and behind you (see Isaiah 30:20-21). They will always be before you to guide you and answer your prayers.
I add my witness to the revelation you received yesterday from our Father. There is no exact timing of my second coming to the earth. This grand event depends on when the wicked in your current telestial world become fully ripe in iniquity, and how ready the righteous become.
All three of us are united in this one over-riding and all-important event: that you and Oriphiel are currently bringing into the Church of the Firstborn our elect, even now! This ordinace and the recording of the new member's name in our Book of Life are eternally binding. It was critical that this began when it did, and that we have this set in motion in the New Jerusalem celestial temple, ever since you received your own waters of separation ordinance from me on July 21, 2021 (see 200E41). You will continue with Oriphiel until the end of the millennium, until all our elect are received into the Church of the Firstborn, and are promised exaltation and eternal lives in eternity."
I thanked my Redeemer for his witness and clarifying words. I looked into each of my three God's eternity eyes and felt great peace and connection.
Tue, Jan 21, 2025
Yesterday morning at 10 am I finally made my BookofRaphael.com live online, both Volumes 1 and 2. This was the culmination of months of work. I was told to have the end of December, 2024 as my target date to finish my website, but it took me a few more weeks. I had been praying daily about this, seeking my Heavenly Parent's help.
Yesterday was also the long-awaited inauguration of Donald Trump, our 47th President of the United States. This also occurred in the morning. I looked up online and he and Vice President Vance would be officially taking office at 10 am local time as well, according to the 20th Amendment to the US Constitution, whether they had taken the oath of office or not by that time. This was the same exact time as my Book of Raphael came online.
I was musing yesterday about these two major events occurring on same morning on the same day and time. I prayed to my Heavenly Father, and felt very close to him. I then was filled with light, and felt he would be speaking to me. Heavenly Mother came next to him on his left side, both in front of me. I could tell that they were both very pleased, and were going to share with me something monumental.
I then asked my Father if it was a coincidence that both my start of BookofRaphael.com and the Presidential Inauguration occurred on the same day. He then spoke to me. I was not in a position to write his words at that time, so I am writing them today, the day following, in the early morning when my mind is clear, rested and focused. I have prayed that he and Heavenly Mother come by my side and help me reconstruct what they both shared with me:
"Raphael, this is your Heavenly Father speaking. Your Heavenly Mother and I are very pleased that you have completed uploading the Book of Raphael online! This is a significant achievement for you while keeping your anonymity. You have recorded all of our revelations to you since April 2013 when we first appeared to you in your energy class in Provo, Utah. Your revelations from us have become very great.
Because you have done this, our elect who live on earth now have access to our revelations that we have given to you. We will now inspire our obedient childen who listen to our promptings, to find your website and study your records. These elect children are both living in mortality on the earth, and dwelling in the spirit world. These have never considered your revelations in their conscious, mortal minds.
Also on this same day, January 20th, 2025, President Donald Trump became president of the United States of America. We are also very pleased that the majority of the people in your country have voted for him and his policies. We have shared with you previously that this act has caused us to bring a four-year era of relative peace in your country, prior to the prophesied calamities that will come upon your land once there is a division of the righteous from the wicked, prior to the glorious second coming of our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ to the earth.
It is during these next four years of relative peace in your land that we will guide our righteous elect over the entire earth to consider, read, ponder and pray about the revelations from us in your record that has just been made available to them. When they sincerely and humbly pray to me, in the name of Jesus Christ, we will reveal to them the truth of your record. During these four years, we will stay the hand of Satan among our elect, so that they will have time to learn and grow spiritually by following our Spirit. Having your record available to them will be a large part of their awakening to us."
At that time Heavenly Father stopped speaking and looked at Heavenly Mother. She was radiantly shining and smiling broadly! She began to speak:
"Raphael, our beloved son, we are so pleased that you have acted in faith in preparing and publishing your record online this morning! We have orchestrated this event to be timed at the same time as the inauguration of Donald Trump as President of the United States of America. He promises a golden era of freedom which we will fulfill over the next four years. We will do this in order that our chosen elect might become fortified in their faith and knowledge, prior to being gathered in the clouds of heaven during the second coming of our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ.
These, our elect have been being taught over the past few years, up to this point in our celestial realms in their unconscious minds, mostly during their sleeptime. They have been taught the fulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ, plus many of the same truths that are contained in your record, the Book of Raphael. They will recognize these same truths in their conscious minds when they read and study them in your record. I will guide them by my Holy Ghost to recognize these truths, and to witness of their truth to their mind and heart. We will carefully lead each one individually to accept the truth, each one uniquely along our planned path of awakening.
When the four years are completed, we will have a group of our elect whom we have further gathered into safe garners. They will have significantly greater knowledge, understanding and faith to be strong for the days ahead, prior to the second coming. Mostly, they will have taken upon them the Holy Spirit as their guide:
D&C 45:57
"For they that are wise and have received the truth, and have taken the Holy Spirit for their guide, and have not been deceived—verily I say unto you, they shall not be hewn down and cast into the fire, but shall abide the day."
Today marks the end of our teaching of our elect in their unconscious minds in our celestial world by our called teachers, and the beginning of their teaching in their mortal minds. This juncture will begin a new era of safety and protection for these, our elect children who have chosen to follow our Spirit and guidance. This new era is marked by greater truth being revealed from the heavens, and a sufficient measure of freedom in which they may choose to follow our direction. I will send my Holy Ghost, even my own person, among them in a greater measure also to comfort, to witness of the truth, and to protect them and to guide them to a place of assurance that they are truly following our lead and directions.
Your Book of Raphael Volume One has been made available to those who live in Zion, the New Jerusalem in the terrestrial mortal world, from the time that your posts were first brought to them by you. These records were also made available to all the hosts of heaven, both premortal, translated and resurrected individuals. However, these have not been made available until today to the hosts of the righteous spirit dead. All of your revelations that we have given to you since your last post 204, recorded now in the Book of Raphael Volume Two, have not been made available to any of these groups to date. However, they are all now available today to all who may seek them, regardless of what realm or state of progression they may be in, for this is our era of abundant truth and revelation sweeping the earth as with a flood:
Moses 7:62:
"And righteousness will I send down out of heaven; and truth will I send forth out of the earth, to bear testimony of mine Only Begotten; his resurrection from the dead; yea, and also the resurrection of all men; and righteousness and truth will I cause to sweep the earth as with a flood, to gather out mine elect from the four quarters of the earth, unto a place which I shall prepare, an Holy City, that my people may gird up their loins, and be looking forth for the time of my coming; for there shall be my tabernacle, and it shall be called Zion, a New Jerusalem."
Raphael, I want to emphasize again how pleased your Father and I are today with these two events that we have brought together! Our great and glorious work is moving forward across the earth among our beloved children who follow us and keep our commandments. All the heavenly hosts also rejoice in these milestone events in the salvation of our children."
I felt such light and peace in my soul as my Heavenly Parents both addressed me this morning! I knew that their message was true, and that they were speaking to me, their lowly servant. I deeply thanked them for this experience and revelation. It is all so spiritually delicious to me! I know what I wrote above is true and is from my Heavenly Parents.

Doctrine & Covenants 130:18-19
18 Whatever principle of intelligence we attain unto in this life, it will rise with us in the resurrection.
19 And if a person gains more knowledge and intelligence in this life through his diligence and obedience than another, he will have so much the advantage in the world to come.
91F1-91F4: "Q4: Heavenly Mother said that as celestial Gods and Goddesses, they feel more love for their children. My question is do the telestial and terrestrial people feel love or concern for others in their kingdom?
. . . Heavenly Mother then spoke: . . .
A4: Love is present in great abundance in the hearts of our children in the celestial world. There are decreasing amounts of love in the telestial and terrestrial worlds, for it had to be nurtured in their life in the premortal life and also on earth. The reason these, our children, are restricted and placed in these lower realms of glory is because they were not as faithful and didn't receive the light and love of God that we sought to shower upon them in their mortal lives. However, they did receive some light and love. They carried this with them into their eternal place of glory:
D&C 130:18-19-
"Whatever principle of intelligence we attain unto in this life, it will rise with us in the resurrection.
And if a person gains more knowledge and intelligence in this life through his diligence and obedience than another, he will have so much the advantage in the world to come."
Those who filled themselves with love by serving and caring for others in mortality will retain that love in the next world. Remember, those who receive a terrestrial glory are "the honorable men of the earth" (see D&C 76:75), receiving of our glory but not of our fulness (see verse 76). There is a significant amount of light and love in that kingdom, but not to a fulness, even as the difference of the moon in glory compared with the sun. The telestial also has light and love, but to a lesser degree, even as the stars differ in glory than the moon and sun in glory. Even in the telestial glory, there is sufficient love, consideration, gentleness and the general Christian values so that civility and peace continues in that society."
98E11-98E16: "Heavenly Mother then spoke: '. . . Life is very quick in passing! We observe and watch our children and see how they respond to our whisperings. We record all of their cumulative actions and get to really know what they choose to do. We see how diligent they are to follow our ways or those of the natural man.
Your own stage of life now is a very enjoyable time when all of your children are grown, when you have many grandchildren, and when you are not so consumed in providing a living for your family. You have gained lots of wisdom over the years and have usually more time to enjoy each other. You find too that your energy begins to wane and sometimes your memories start to fade, or you mental cognition becomes fuzzy. You may develop physical ailments that slow you down, being more feeble. All stages of life are designed to teach important lessons to our children.
Once you move onto other non-mortal experiences and stages of progression, you will find out how important your mortal life was in giving you a better perspective about eternal life. We refer still to actions and events we experienced in mortality and that has been so long ago in the past. As Gods, we may go back and observe ourselves in our mortal experience, with our Godly hindsight abilities. We see how young and foolish we acted as mortals. We are so pleased we chose to pursue a path that led back to our own Heavenly Parents and that we chose eternal life and exaltation that was freely offered to us.
Our base intelligence is the same as it was then, only now it has grown and developed in our spirit and body to become so capable and wise. Intelligence cleaves unto intelligence (D&C 88:40) meaning that intelligence grows and expands as our children grow.
D&C 130:18-19
"Whatever principle of intelligence we attain unto in this life, it will rise with us in the resurrection.
And if a person gains more knowledge and intelligence in this life through his diligence and obedience than another, he will have so much the advantage in the world to come."
We grew in knowledge and intelligence until we received all knowledge. We continued to become wiser in the use of our intelligence, even though we have experienced so many eternities. Our first parent Gods are the wisest of all Gods.
In your mortal experience, you will find that your wisdom and intelligence greatly increase, even to the point in the near future when you will be ordained as a God. You will then have access to all knowledge and intelligence, and you will steadily increase in your abilities and your wisdom. When you will have experienced so many eternities as have your Heavenly Father and I, you will continue to increase in wisdom, although you will know all things pertaining to being a God.'
I thanked my loving Heavenly Parents for coming and sharing with me tonight. I so appreciated glimpses into their own past and how they grew in intelligence, knowledge and wisdom! I felt so enlightened by their visit to me tonight!"

Doctrine & Covenants 131:1
1 In the celestial glory there are three heavens or degrees;
110I7-110F11, from Heavenly Mother: "Q5: "What happens if a husband and wife were to inherit different kingdoms of glory in the end, like if only one was worthy of exaltation? Would they have a chance to marry someone else of their level?"
A5: From Heavenly Mother: As you know, we do not control the choices of our children, nor may a man or woman even determine what future choices their spouse may make. If one spouse is determined to be exalted and the other does not want this, we make adjustments so that both receive the happiness and destiny they want to have themselves. In eternity, only the couple Gods are sealed together, or those who are exalted. There will be time to find and choose another spouse before being ordained together as a couple God. In the end, there will be an exact match of male and female couples for this eternity who become couple Gods, ordained to this highest and eternal position.
Q6: "What are the differences of the three levels of the celestial kingdom?" (see D&C 131:1 "In the celestial glory there are three heavens or degrees.")
A6: From Heavenly Mother: Our celestial kingdom houses all three of these heavens or degrees. These inhabit our celestial orb during the work of each eternity. The highest degree is reserved for the gods who have been ordained as couple gods, who may create and populate worlds in eternity, of their own posterity and of other living creations. In our current eternity, your Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ and I are Gods. Jesus Christ has yet to complete his position with his beloved spouse, together becoming a couple god like us in eternity. However, he acts in every other way as a God in our kingdom.
The second degree or heaven is for those of our children who have been born in mortality and have become elected to become gods themselves. They have their calling and election made sure. They are candidates to our celestial Church of the Firstborn, and will receive all that we, their Heavenly Parents, possess. These may be mortals, the spirit dead awaiting their resurrection, translated or resurrected souls.
The third degree or heaven is for our pre-mortal spirit children. We generally keep these separate from the others in the second heaven. They await their entry into mortality on earth. They are living on our celestial orb, in areas we have designated. We now have all those who will come forth in the millennium, waiting for their earth experience.'
I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her enlightening revelation this morning. I love her clear answers and the way revelation comes-so true and understandable to me!"
______________________________
Doctrine & Covenants 131:1-4
85E7-85E9: "Heavenly Father responded: 'Raphael, this is good that you can do that which you most enjoy doing in your earth life experience. This same desire will continue into the eternal worlds. There are activities I know how to do that I have others do. I even have some of the celestial single angels in eternity help me harvest my fields as I direct them. These come from a celestial orb where they (added in parenthesis on 3-14-2019: are awaiting to receive) their celestial salvation. They have not, however, attained their (own) exaltation (as yet), as did your Heavenly Mother and I. They are in their saved, celestial state, (now) to minister to the gods (until they themselves one day become gods themselves): D&C 131: 1-4 "In the celestial glory there are three heavens or degrees; And in order to obtain the highest, a man must enter into this order of the priesthood (meaning the new and everlasting covenant of marriage); And if he does not, he cannot obtain it. He may enter into the other, but that is the end of his kingdom; he cannot have an increase."
Those who help me harvest my fields are celestial people who have attained their saved condition (or state) but have not (yet) entered into the new and everlasting covenant of marriage. They are single and in that saved, happy condition. However, they may not have an increase (until they themselves marry and receive all the ordinances in the New Jerusalem temple), for that is reserved for the Gods.'"
The above states that in eternity, all will have eternal companions and be couple Gods.
110A6-110A10: "From Heavenly Mother: Our celestial kingdom houses all three of these heavens or degrees. These inhabit our celestial orb during the work of each eternity. The highest degree is reserved for the gods who have been ordained as couple gods, who may create and populate worlds in eternity, of their own posterity and of other living creations. In our current eternity, your Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ and I are Gods. Jesus Christ has yet to complete his position with his beloved spouse, together becoming a couple god like us in eternity. However, he acts in every other way as a God in our kingdom.
The second degree or heaven is for those of our children who have been born in mortality and have become elected to become gods themselves. They have their calling and election made sure. They are candidates to our celestial Church of the Firstborn, and will receive all that we, their Heavenly Parents, possess. These may be mortals, the spirit dead awaiting their resurrection, translated or resurrected souls.
The third degree or heaven is for our premortal spirit children. We generally keep these separate from the others in the second heaven. They await their entry into mortality on earth. They are living on our celestial orb, in areas we have designated. We now have all those who will come forth in the millennium, waiting for their earth experience.'"
133E18-133E20, from Heavenly Father: "For the celestial, there is only one ultimate end result and glory and that is that everyone becomes couple gods in eternity! This is the eternal destiny of all our faithful.
D&C 131:1-4 states this: "In the celestial glory there are three heavens or degrees; And in order to obtain the highest, a man must enter into this order of the priesthood (meaning the new and everlasting covenant of marriage); And if he does not, he cannot obtain it. He may enter into the other, but that is the end of his kingdom; he cannot have an increase."
The first heaven is where our celestial spirit offspring live with us on our own celestial orb. The second heaven is a post-mortal state where you and our holy angels and celestial servants labor in. It is also where the righteous who are resurrected await for their future exaltation as couple gods. The third heaven is reserved for the couple gods in eternity, who receive all and become like us, their Heavenly Parents. Once this eternity is completed, there will only be the third celestial heaven and nobody in this eternity in the other heavens. These each receives, as couple gods, their eternal inheritance on the resurrected celestial earth. This will be their eternal first residence forever. They will also create their own galaxies and domains and creations in those galaxies, worlds without end!"
(Note that this entry above has the order of the first and third reversed from the entry in 110A6-110A10. The content is all the same, however, just how they are numbered.)
(Note 2: Early posts in the Book of Raphael states that there was a place in the celestial kingdom for those who were single servants, seemingly after this eternity is closed and finished. However, in later posts this notion was corrected: there are only couple gods in the celestial kingdom from this eternity, once it is completed and all of God's children are assigned to a kingdom. Any person who is single and not in a couple god relationship will be assigned a lower kingdom of glory, and will not reside in the celestial kingdom of glory. See 112H5 below for a confirmation of this.)
86F3-86F7, from Heavenly Father: "The celestial angels, who minister to the terrestrial are those spoken of in D&C 130:6-9.
D&C 130:6-9- "The angels do not reside on a planet like this earth; But they reside in the presence of God, on a globe like a sea of glass and fire, where all things for their glory are manifest, past, present, and future, and are continually before the Lord. The place where God resides is a great Urim and Thummim. This earth, in its sanctified and immortal state, will be made like unto crystal and will be a Urim and Thummim to the inhabitants who dwell thereon, whereby all things pertaining to an inferior kingdom, or all kingdoms of a lower order, will be manifest to those who dwell on it; and this earth will be Christs."
These celestial angels are not exalted, nor have they received an inheritance of a God, but they dwell in a celestial world, and minister to the Gods who have received a far greater glory.
See D&C 131:1-4- "In the celestial glory there are three heavens or degrees; And in order to obtain the highest, a man must enter into this order of the priesthood [meaning the new and everlasting covenant of marriage]; And if he does not, he cannot obtain it.
He may enter into the other, but that is the end of his kingdom; he cannot have an increase."
Some of these celestial angels in eternity also are assigned to minister to those in the terrestrial worlds. These celestial angels direct the order and well being of those who dwell in the terrestrial worlds and also direct those who are terrestrial who minister to the telestial. Thus, each of these lower kingdoms are directed by the celestial. We, who are the Gods, direct the angels, and in turn, through their ministrations, know all that occurs and is happening to those in the terrestrial and telestial worlds. These are still the children of both Heavenly Mother and myself in eternity, but live in lower kingdoms of glory."
88G6-88G7, from Heavenly Father: "When one of our children is resurrected, they are quickened in the resurrection to their eternal glory they have achieved, either celestial, terrestrial or telestial. This necessitates that we judge them based on their works and the intent of their hearts. Once they are resurrected to one of these states of glory, they cannot progress from one level of glory to a higher, for their reward is fixed for all eternity. For those who are resurrected as celestial beings, they may continue to receive their exaltation if they are elected by Jesus Christ to enter into the Church of the Firstborn. All those thus elected ultimately become a sealed couple in eternity, even a God and Goddess, King and Queen. For those who are celestial and not elected into the Church of the Firstborn, they remain celestial angels or servants to those who attain the highest degree of being a God.
See D&C 131:1-4- "In the celestial glory there are three heavens or degrees; And in order to obtain the highest, a man must enter into this order of the priesthood [meaning the new and everlasting covenant of marriage]; And if he does not, he cannot obtain it. He may enter into the other, but that is the end of his kingdom; he cannot have an increase." '"
112H2-112H7: "I stood and took my Heavenly Mother's hand and we all three started walking towards the waterfall on the path. Heavenly Father spoke next: 'Raphael, our children who are in lower eternal glories are single in an unmarried state. They have neither ability to reproduce nor any desire to do so. They have friends and acquaintances, but have no deep ties like family or marriage connections. They are not capable of receiving higher levels of happiness that those in the celestial glory receive.'
Heavenly Father continued: 'Every one of our children who enter into our celestial glory are promised every blessings and are joint heirs of Jesus Christ, our Firstborn Son. Each one is sealed to a spouse and their spouse is sealed to them. Each one is received into the glorious Church of the Firstborn.
There is a passage in D&C 132:16-17 that states there are angels in heaven, in a celestial state of glory, who are ministering servants to minister to those who are worthy of a far more, and an exceeding and an eternal weight of glory. This passage also states that they did not abide my law and cannot be enlarged, but remain separately and singly, without exaltation. This is false doctrine and was concocted by Brigham Young who wanted to promote his concept of plural marriage that is also not a true principle. He did this without our sanction. This false doctrine has influenced many women especially to go against their better judgment and our direction to them, thinking that if they didn't abide the law of plural marriage that they would fall from their eternal glory and exaltation.'
Heavenly Father: 'The true doctrine is that every one who receives eternal celestial glory becomes a couple god and is either a male or female exalted god in eternity, living in celestial glory forever. There are no lesser positions of celestial glory in eternity. If someone chooses not to be sealed to another, they are assigned a terrestrial glory in eternity, to live in their single and individual status, with no opportunity of growth or a future marriage relationship. We have chosen to reveal this true doctrine to you now, when we were speaking about the other lesser glories in eternity where there [are] our children in their single state forever. We have allowed you to think that there was a single status position in eternal celestial glory up to this time.'
Heavenly Mother then spoke: 'Raphael, there are some of our children who were deceived by this false doctrine of plural marriage who will repent and be forgiven. They will be allowed to enter into the Church of the Firstborn, be sealed to a single spouse of their choice, and their spouse sealed to them. They will eventually be ordained as a couple god, receiving an eternal celestial glory. There will be others who hold fast to this false doctrine and are assigned as single individuals in a lower eternal glory. In eternity, there are no plural marriage relationships in any level of glory.' (R's note dated 3-9-2019: This information has been modified about the single celestial individuals, to make it more clear. See post 113D10-113D15 and 113E2 for this further clarification.)
Heavenly Mother continued: 'Section 132 of the Doctrine and Covenants also states that Abraham received all things by revelation and commandment and has entered into his exaltation and sitteth upon a throne. (D&C 132:29). This also is false. Abraham did receive some direction by revelation, but he was not instructed by us, his Gods, to enter into a plural marriage relationship on earth. He was following the customs of the times and did not inquire of us whether he should take Hagar to wife or not. We would have corrected his cultural views by revelation, stating our true doctrine.
His great great grandson, Joseph, did inquire of us and obeyed our commandment to marry only one wife. There are none of these individuals who have entered their exaltation, for none are yet received into the Church of the Firstborn. The true and faithful are heirs of the Church of the Firstborn at this time. They will each, who are elected by Jesus Christ, be received by you, by the ordinance of the waters of separation, into this celestial church. Each one will be sealed to the spouse of their choice and that spouse will also be sealed to them. They will later be ordained as a couple god in eternity, like your Heavenly Father and me, to live in celestial glory forever!'"

5 (May 17th, 1843.) The more sure word of prophecy means a mans knowing that he is sealed up unto eternal life, by revelation and the spirit of prophecy, through the power of the Holy Priesthood.
100B17-100B18: "D&C 131:5 (modified in parenthesis by Heavenly Father)
"The more sure word of prophecy means a man's (or woman's) knowing that he is sealed up unto eternal life, by revelation and the spirit of prophecy, through the power of the Holy Priesthood (or the power of the Holy Ghost)."
We, who are their Gods, will confirm to them by revelation that their calling and election into this Church of the Firstborn, even to eternal life and exaltation, is sure.
Repentance and change is a vital part of the journey, until they are able to land their souls in the kingdom of God (see Helaman 3:27-30).'
I felt very gratified to have been ransomed and forgiven of all my sins and weaknesses. I am so inordinately glad to be cleansed and brought back into the presence of my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother, through the merits and forgiveness of Jesus Christ, their Beloved Son!"

Doctrine & Covenants 131:7-8
7 There is no such thing as immaterial matter. All spirit is matter, but it is more fine or pure, and can only be discerned by purer eyes;
8 We cannot see it; but when our bodies are purified we shall see that it is all matter.
89C1-89C3: "I read this verse in D&C 131:7-8
"There is no such thing as immaterial matter. All spirit is matter, but it is more fine or pure, and can only be discerned by purer eyes;
We cannot see it; but when our bodies are purified we shall see that it is all matter."
I also re-read part of what God revealed to me about light. Heavenly Father told me light was created and continues to be created by our first parent Gods in the bosom of eternity. They create light from matter, from elemental "building blocks" that all things are created from. This light does not have an intelligence, but is directed by God to enliven and give life to all of their creations. This light also is called in the scriptures the Spirit of God. This is not the spirit of their beings that can be replicated like the Holy Ghost (the actual spirit body of our Heavenly Mother). This light instead is the substance that is controlled and directed by God.
This light or spirit substance (called the Spirit of God) is thus directed by God in various levels of intensity to their creations. When we are filled with light, the spirit of Christ (it is all the same), or this light or spirit can be slightly given or given in a great measure. This flow of light is all controlled by God.
The light I see in God is this same substance they call light that ultimately comes from their first parent Gods who create it. The amount of light our Heavenly Parents receive and pass through their bodies, be they shine brightly or dimly, is all controlled by themselves. They control all of this by their thoughts as Heavenly Mother said. They also control the amount of this light substance to their own worlds, children, and creations by this same means.
There is no other substance they use besides intelligence, elemental matter, and this light. From this, all entities are created and sustained.
I love the illustration of the light bulb: it is not illuminated until electricity flows into its filaments. Likewise, intelligence and elemental matter that form a spirit and/or physical entity are not really "alive" until light flows into this entity. When God thus breathes into this entity, his breath of life, or this light or spirit (it is all the same, just worded differently), the entity then becomes alive."
92H2-92H9, from Heavenly Father: "'Raphael, I will start speaking to you about elemental matter. This elemental matter and intelligence are the only two things in the space outside our universe. In the beginning, they were the only two things until our first Gods created themselves from their intelligence and elemental matter. Each of these components had never been created or made, but were always existing.
Elemental matter is tangible and has substance, whereas intelligence has a being but no tangible substance. When combined, they may make a spirit which has a being and substance.
Elemental matter is not visible even though there is substance. It is unorganized matter, not like the elements on the periodic chart you know about, but just the substance building blocks that make up the elements. Our first God found a way to organize elemental matter into an organized creation. Some creations also contained an intelligence which had the property to fully be present everywhere in this organized elemental matter.
D&C 131:7-8
"There is no such thing as immaterial matter. All spirit is matter, but it is more fine or pure, and can only be discerned by purer eyes;
We cannot see it; but when our bodies are purified we shall see that it is all matter."
Joseph Smith here described the properties of the spirit, made from elemental matter filled with intelligence. Because intelligence fills all the matter which is organized into spirit, it enlivens the matter and makes the combined spirit able to grow and have being and choice.
When we gather elemental matter in order to create an additional spirit and/or a physical body for replication, the elemental matter is not visible to man, but it is discernible to us. We use the powers of our mind and thought to organize this elemental matter into the spirit being we wish, and then fill it with the intelligence for our replication process. When reducing or eliminating replicated beings, we keep our base self and then unorganize the elemental matter and it returns to its former unorganized state. It is then not visible to man, but it is perceived by us who are the Gods with our creative powers.
Because God perceives elemental matter, it can be acted upon and organized. Without organization of the matter, there is no creation. We organize matter in various ways to create light, love, energy, entities of all varieties with intelligence, our replicated states, and everything that exists in our known tangible world.
Elemental matter only has substance, and is unorganized matter. It does not have intelligence, cannot think, act or have any properties associated with intelligence. Intelligence and elemental matter coexist until we, who are the Gods, organize them into our creations.'"

Doctrine & Covenants 132:16
16 Therefore, when they are out of the world they neither marry nor are given in marriage; but are appointed angels in heaven, which angels are ministering servants, to minister for those who are worthy of a far more, and an exceeding, and an eternal weight of glory.
Sun, Feb 18, 2024
This is not true doctrine, for the only inhabitants of the celestial glory in this eternity, when it is completed, are exalted couple Gods.
85E7-85E9: "Heavenly Father responded:
'Raphael, this is good that you can do that which you most enjoy doing in your earth life experience. This same desire will continue into the eternal worlds. There are activities I know how to do that I have others do. I even have some of the celestial single angels in eternity help me harvest my fields as I direct them. These come from a celestial orb where they (added in parenthesis on 3-14-2019: are awaiting to receive) their celestial salvation. They have not, however, attained their (own) exaltation (as yet), as did your Heavenly Mother and I. They are in their saved, celestial state, (now) to minister to the gods (until they themselves one day become gods themselves):
D&C 131: 1-4
"In the celestial glory there are three heavens or degrees;
And in order to obtain the highest, a man must enter into this order of the priesthood (meaning the new and everlasting covenant of marriage);
And if he does not, he cannot obtain it.
He may enter into the other, but that is the end of his kingdom; he cannot have an increase."
Those who help me harvest my fields are celestial people who have attained their saved condition (or state) but have not (yet) entered into the new and everlasting covenant of marriage. They are single and in that saved, happy condition. However, they may not have an increase (until they themselves marry and receive all the ordinances in the New Jerusalem temple), for that is reserved for the Gods.'"
The above states that in eternity, all will have eternal companions and be couple Gods.
110A6-110A10: "From Heavenly Mother: Our celestial kingdom houses all three of these heavens or degrees. These inhabit our celestial orb during the work of each eternity. The highest degree is reserved for the gods who have been ordained as couple gods, who may create and populate worlds in eternity, of their own posterity and of other living creations. In our current eternity, your Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ and I are Gods. Jesus Christ has yet to complete his position with his beloved spouse, together becoming a couple god like us in eternity. However, he acts in every other way as a God in our kingdom.
The second degree or heaven is for those of our children who have been born in mortality and have become elected to become gods themselves. They have their calling and election made sure. They are candidates to our celestial Church of the Firstborn, and will receive all that we, their Heavenly Parents, possess. These may be mortals, the spirit dead awaiting their resurrection, translated or resurrected souls.
The third degree or heaven is for our premortal spirit children. We generally keep these separate from the others in the second heaven. They await their entry into mortality on earth. They are living on our celestial orb, in areas we have designated. We now have all those who will come forth in the millennium, waiting for their earth experience.'"
133E18-133E20, from Heavenly Father: "For the celestial, there is only one ultimate end result and glory and that is that everyone becomes couple gods in eternity! This is the eternal destiny of all our faithful.
D&C 131:1-4 states this:
"In the celestial glory there are three heavens or degrees;
And in order to obtain the highest, a man must enter into this order of the priesthood (meaning the new and everlasting covenant of marriage);
And if he does not, he cannot obtain it.
He may enter into the other, but that is the end of his kingdom; he cannot have an increase."
The first heaven is where our celestial spirit offspring live with us on our own celestial orb. The second heaven is a post-mortal state where you and our holy angels and celestial servants labor in. It is also where the righteous who are resurrected await for their future exaltation as couple gods. The third heaven is reserved for the couple gods in eternity, who receive all and become like us, their Heavenly Parents. Once this eternity is completed, there will only be the third celestial heaven and nobody in this eternity in the other heavens. These each receives, as couple gods, their eternal inheritance on the resurrected celestial earth. This will be their eternal first residence forever. They will also create their own galaxies and domains and creations in those galaxies, worlds without end!"
Note that this entry above has the order of the first and third reversed from the entry in 110A6-110A10. The content is all the same, however, just how they are numbered.
86F3-86F7, from Heavenly Father: "The celestial angels, who minister to the terrestrial are those spoken of in D&C 130:6-9.
D&C 130:6-9-
"The angels do not reside on a planet like this earth;
But they reside in the presence of God, on a globe like a sea of glass and fire, where all things for their glory are manifest, past, present, and future, and are continually before the Lord.
The place where God resides is a great Urim and Thummim.
This earth, in its sanctified and immortal state, will be made like unto crystal and will be a Urim and Thummim to the inhabitants who dwell thereon, whereby all things pertaining to an inferior kingdom, or all kingdoms of a lower order, will be manifest to those who dwell on it; and this earth will be Christs."
These celestial angels are not exalted, nor have they received an inheritance of a God, but they dwell in a celestial world, and minister to the Gods who have received a far greater glory.
See D&C 131:1-4-
"In the celestial glory there are three heavens or degrees;
And in order to obtain the highest, a man must enter into this order of the priesthood [meaning the new and everlasting covenant of marriage];
And if he does not, he cannot obtain it.
He may enter into the other, but that is the end of his kingdom; he cannot have an increase."
Some of these celestial angels in eternity also are assigned to minister to those in the terrestrial worlds. These celestial angels direct the order and well being of those who dwell in the terrestrial worlds and also direct those who are terrestrial who minister to the telestial. Thus, each of these lower kingdoms are directed by the celestial. We, who are the Gods, direct the angels, and in turn, through their ministrations, know all that occurs and is happening to those in the terrestrial and telestial worlds. These are still the children of both Heavenly Mother and myself in eternity, but live in lower kingdoms of glory."
88G6-88G7, from Heavenly Father: "When one of our children is resurrected, they are quickened in the resurrection to their eternal glory they have achieved, either celestial, terrestrial or telestial. This necessitates that we judge them based on their works and the intent of their hearts. Once they are resurrected to one of these states of glory, they cannot progress from one level of glory to a higher, for their reward is fixed for all eternity.
For those who are resurrected as celestial beings, they may continue to receive their exaltation if they are elected by Jesus Christ to enter into the Church of the Firstborn. All those thus elected ultimately become a sealed couple in eternity, even a God and Goddess, King and Queen. For those who are celestial and not elected into the Church of the Firstborn, they remain celestial angels or servants to those who attain the highest degree of being a God.
See D&C 131:1-4-
"In the celestial glory there are three heavens or degrees;
And in order to obtain the highest, a man must enter into this order of the priesthood [meaning the new and everlasting covenant of marriage];
And if he does not, he cannot obtain it.
He may enter into the other, but that is the end of his kingdom; he cannot have an increase." '"
112H2-112H7: "I stood and took my Heavenly Mother's hand and we all three started walking towards the waterfall on the path. Heavenly Father spoke next: 'Raphael, our children who are in lower eternal glories are single in an unmarried state. They have neither ability to reproduce nor any desire to do so. They have friends and acquaintances, but have no deep ties like family or marriage connections. They are not capable of receiving higher levels of happiness that those in the celestial glory receive.'
Heavenly Father continued: 'Every one of our children who enter into our celestial glory are promised every blessings and are joint heirs of Jesus Christ, our Firstborn Son. Each one is sealed to a spouse and their spouse is sealed to them. Each one is received into the glorious Church of the Firstborn.
There is a passage in D&C 132:16-17 that states there are angels in heaven, in a celestial state of glory, who are ministering servants to minister to those who are worthy of a far more, and an exceeding and an eternal weight of glory. This passage also states that they did not abide my law and cannot be enlarged, but remain separately and singly, without exaltation. This is false doctrine and was concocted by Brigham Young who wanted to promote his concept of plural marriage that is also not a true principle. He did this without our sanction. This false doctrine has influenced many women especially to go against their better judgment and our direction to them, thinking that if they didn't abide the law of plural marriage that they would fall from their eternal glory and exaltation.'
Heavenly Father: 'The true doctrine is that every one who receives eternal celestial glory becomes a couple god and is either a male or female exalted god in eternity, living in celestial glory forever. There are no lesser positions of celestial glory in eternity. If someone chooses not to be sealed to another, they are assigned a terrestrial glory in eternity, to live in their single and individual status, with no opportunity of growth or a future marriage relationship.
We have chosen to reveal this true doctrine to you now, when we were speaking about the other lesser glories in eternity where there our children in their single state forever. We have allowed you to think that there was a single status position in eternal celestial glory up to this time.'
Heavenly Mother then spoke: 'Raphael, there are some of our children who were deceived by this false doctrine of plural marriage who will repent and be forgiven. They will be allowed to enter into the Church of the Firstborn, be sealed to a single spouse of their choice, and their spouse sealed to them. They will eventually be ordained as a couple god, receiving an eternal celestial glory. There will be others who hold fast to this false doctrine and are assigned as single individuals in a lower eternal glory. In eternity, there are no plural marriage relationships in any level of glory.'
(R's note dated 3-9-2019: This information has been modified about the single celestial individuals, to make it more clear. See post 113D10-113D15 and 113E2 for this further clarification.)
Heavenly Mother continued: 'Section 132 of the Doctrine and Covenants also states that Abraham received all things by revelation and commandment and has entered into his exaltation and sitteth upon a throne. (D&C 132:29). This also is false. Abraham did receive some direction by revelation, but he was not instructed by us, his Gods, to enter into a plural marriage relationship on earth. He was following the customs of the times and did not inquire of us whether he should take Hagar to wife or not. We would have corrected his cultural views by revelation, stating our true doctrine.
His great great grandson, Joseph, did inquire of us and obeyed our commandment to marry only one wife. There are none of these individuals who have entered their exaltation, for none are yet received into the Church of the Firstborn. The true and faithful are heirs of the Church of the Firstborn at this time. They will each, who are elected by Jesus Christ, be received by you, by the ordinance of the waters of separation, into this celestial church. Each one will be sealed to the spouse of their choice and that spouse will also be sealed to them. They will later be ordained as a couple god in eternity, like your Heavenly Father and me, to live in celestial glory forever!'"
144F3-144F20: "Here is what M.A. wrote to me:
"Hi R,
Question, was Brigham Young called of God to be a prophet after Joseph Smith died? So many of his teachings were not true. If not, what were God's intentions for the restored church? Was it just to test us to see if we would follow blindly or go to God and ask in prayer?
Also was it intended that each succeeding prophet would be the senior apostle? This doesn't seem correct to me. Shouldn't a prophet be chosen according to his righteousness and his connection to God?
Example, Lehi was not a prophet in his day but because he connected with God in prayer and received revelation we considered him a prophet.
I ask these questions because I was reading an article that quoted Brigham Young as saying that this was the last dispensation and the gospel would never be taken away again.
Have a blessed day,
M.A.."
I came this morning to the base of the fallen oak tree next to the Father's wheat field. I knelt on a road facing the river in the distance to the east. I asked for my Heavenly Parents, or one to come to me.
Heavenly Father appeared before me, next to the oak tree! He was so majestic and full of light and understanding, for his face seemed full of great understanding, power, and fully in charge of all of his creations, and all-knowing.
He extended his left arm and touched the fallen oak tree with his hand. He spoke:
'Raphael, I would like to answer M.A.'s questions this morning.
We call prophets who are open and humble men in the Church of Christ. Joseph Smith asked us in the sincerity and openness of heart which church to join. Both my Beloved Son and I came to Joseph in the grove of trees, and revealed us to him. We opened up a new dispensation for our children on earth, and called Joseph as the prophet of the new restored Church of Christ.
Before he died, Joseph was inspired to organize the twelve apostles in their quorum and for them to receive all the keys of the kingdom of God that he had received. Were he to die, this quorum would act as the presiding body in the church. We did this so that there would be continuity in the church upon the death of the president and prophet in the church.
At the time of Joseph's death, Brigham Young held the position of president of the quorum of the twelve apostles. The manner of succession of the prophet was then established by Brigham Young, our new prophet. He was humble and open before us at the time, and led the church to the west as we desired. We blessed and inspired him.
There were false doctrines that he again began to espouse and teach in not many years after being selected as our prophet. These he purported as from us his Gods. We inspired him otherwise, but he still taught these falsehoods he proposed were from God and not himself. He fabricated section 132 in the Doctrine and Covenants when assembling the revelations, saying this was all revealed to Joseph Smith years earlier before his death. There were other purported doctrines besides plural marriage he taught that were false also.
We decided to still have Brigham Young and the Church of Jesus Christ to still be our prophet and our church. We still have our children confirm by our Spirit any truth to those who asked of us. We continued to not confirm the falsehoods promoted by Brigham Young and other future church leaders.
We wanted this church to continue to operate, as much as possible with our truths and spirit, even though Satan worked hard on introducing many falsehoods. We wanted a priesthood line of authority to continue through the years even until we decided to sever the church and its leaders.
Over the years, since Brigham Young, our faithful Saints had to struggle with what their leaders taught at times and with what the Holy Ghost and Holy Spirit of God confirmed to their own soul. We allowed falsehoods to continue in this telestial church, for Satan was abroad and was so successful in leading astray the priesthood leaders often with falsehoods. The more modern-day leaders, even though they received a witness at times that a certain doctrine was false, chose to just let that falsehood remain in the church so as not to shake the faith of the Saints from believing earlier leaders who had taught the false doctrine in the beginning. They felt by so doing they would bring into question their own authority which had been passed down from earlier leaders. They felt that they themselves were rightful priesthood leaders who had been called of God by revelation.
Raphael, our Son Jesus Christ, your Heavenly Mother acting as the Holy Ghost, and I who also endowed all our children with the Spirit of God, did all we could to inspire and guide the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and it's members. We suffered false doctrines and beliefs to continue in this church, and continually persuaded and inspired each one who would hearken to our voice.
Our doctrine is and has always been that each of our beloved children need to choose for themselves whom they will follow and obey. It became difficult in recent years when temple recommend questions required one to sustain members of the First Presidency as prophets, seers, and revelators. There were other questions they added to ensure compliance to the total dedication of the current doctrines and teachings of the church, even those from the past or the present that were false and with which we would not confirm to be true.
When we finally decided to cut off the church priesthood leaders, when they rejected our revelation to introduce the office of High Priestess, we then removed my priesthood and priesthood keys from those who were apostles. They still professed revelation, but we had withdrawn fully our Spirit and revelations.
Raphael, we could have done this same action to Brigham Young within a few years of him becoming the ordained president and prophet of the LDS church. However, we wanted to still establish a base of good and faithful believers who accepted our doctrines of the restoration. We revealed in purity to Joseph Smith, and to following leaders as they became open and accepting of our revelations to them. The Church of Jesus Christ has continued since the days of Brigham Young with truths mixed with false teachings.
We witnessed to you in 1967 when you were baptized into the LDS church that Joseph Smith was a prophet, and that the Book of Mormon was a true record. We witnessed to you of the many truths found in this church. You grew up in the teachings of the church, and yet struggled with some difficult doctrines like plural marriage. You decided to "shelve" the questionable things, for they did not ring true, but most everything else did. This shelving practice is still true with active members of the church. Some doctrines we have witnessed and confirmed to them, and others we have not. We desire each one to be open and humble, and to ask us in the sincerity of heart whether any doctrine is from us or not. We will confirm all truths to our children.
In the future Church of Christ, we will reinstate the practice of succession upon the death of the president and prophet. We position our new prophet leader to be the senior apostle. This is our practice and true doctrine in the organized Church of Christ.
Lehi was our prophet but was not a head of a church. We had continued to call prophets among our people who were isolated from an organized church that were established by Jesus Christ himself. We will have all Israel come under the Church of Christ as it will soon be restored. The church of the Firstborn will be by invitation personally from Jesus Christ for those whom he has fully redeemed and chosen. The former will be a terrestrial church and the latter a celestial church. Our doctrines and practices in these churches will be pure and kept that way through the millennium. Satan will be bound and will no longer be able to introduce falsehoods into our church again.'
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his great explanations. I am so grateful to be the recipient of these truths from my Father himself!"

Doctrine & Covenants 133:2-3, 5-7, 9-15
2 The Lord who shall suddenly come to his temple; the Lord who shall come down upon the world with a curse to judgment; yea, upon all the nations that forget God, and upon all the ungodly among you.
3 For he shall make bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations, and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of their God.
5 Go ye out from Babylon. Be ye clean that bear the vessels of the Lord.
6 Call your solemn assemblies, and speak often one to another. And let every man call upon the name of the Lord.
7 Yea, verily I say unto you again, the time has come when the voice of the Lord is unto you: Go ye out of Babylon; gather ye out from among the nations, from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
9 And behold, and lo, this shall be their cry, and the voice of the Lord unto all people: Go ye forth unto the land of Zion, that the borders of my people may be enlarged, and that her stakes may be strengthened, and that Zion may go forth unto the regions round about.
10 Yea, let the cry go forth among all people: Awake and arise and go forth to meet the Bridegroom; behold and lo, the Bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Prepare yourselves for the great day of the Lord.
11 Watch, therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour.
12 Let them, therefore, who are among the Gentiles flee unto Zion.
13 And let them who be of Judah flee unto Jerusalem, unto the mountains of the Lords house.
14 Go ye out from among the nations, even from Babylon, from the midst of wickedness, which is spiritual Babylon.
15 But verily, thus saith the Lord, let not your flight be in haste, but let all things be prepared before you; and he that goeth, let him not look back lest sudden destruction shall come upon him.
198I3-198I5, from Heavenly Mother: "She spoke to me: 'Raphael, when you read scriptures now about the gathering of our elect, you can see much more clearly how they will be fulfilled. As you read section 133 of the Doctrine and Covenants, I enlightened your mind to see a second deeper meaning of some of these verses:
D&C 133:2-3,5-7,9-15
v2. "The Lord who shall suddenly come to his temple: (see your post 189F10 to 189F12). The Lord, Jesus Christ, will come to his celestial temple on July 19, 2021, a little over two weeks away, and administer to you the waters of separation ordinance. This will begin the great entry of our beloved elect children into the Church of the Firstborn. Jesus Christ will come to his temple of the New Jerusalem that you have built with the help of thousands of our celestial servants. You are the messenger of the covenant referred to in the LDS footnote in this verse, Raphael. Once you are given entry into the Church of the Firstborn, and begin administering with Oriphiel this great gift to others, then will our son Jesus Christ come down in greater judgment upon the telestial world) the Lord who shall come down upon the world with a curse to judgment; yea, upon all the nations that forget God, and upon all the ungodly among you.
v3. For he shall make bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations, (this means upon the wicked nations in your telestial world, and the gathered elect who will come from all nations to the New Jerusalem in the terrestrial world) and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of their God (this refers to those who are celestial elect, from all the ends of the earth, or from all time, who come to our celestial temple in the New Jerusalem and receive from you and Oriphiel their further significant step in their eternal salvation).
v5. Go yet out from Babylon. Be ye clean that bear the vessels of the Lord (this command is given again, now specifically to our elect who live in the telestial world that is being overtaken by Babylon, the wicked. Our call is to gather to Zion, the New Jerusalem.).
v6. Call your solemn assemblies, and speak often one to another (like the pattern you are doing on your own trek, in talking daily to your fellow travelers about our true doctrines and the great events coming to the earth, particularly about Zion.). And let every man, (woman and child) call upon the name of the Lord (and receive and confirm our revelations of these things. We will give each our revelation to gather to Zion and to come to the New Jerusalem.).
v7. Yea, verily I say unto you again, the time has come when the voice of the Lord (through our Spirit, by the promptings and guidance of angels, and soon by the 144,000 who are commissioned to gather our elect) is unto you: Go ye out of Babylon (the telestial world in which you live); gather ye out from among the nations, from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other (this includes all of our celestial elect from the hosts of our children who will be called and gathered to our celestial New Jerusalem temple, and receive our eternal ordinances there from the angels of God).
v9. And behold, and lo, this shall by their cry, and the voice of the Lord unto all people: Go ye forth unto the land of Zion (at first this was to the telestial church, even the LDS church to build it up. However, now in the latter phase, it will be a call to come forth to the actual land of Zion, the New Jerusalem.), that the borders of my people may be enlarged (even to surrounding cities of Zion), and that her stakes may be strengthened (stakes of the terrestrial Church of Christ, to be headquartered in the terrestrial city of the New Jerusalem), and that Zion may go forth unto the regions round about.
v10. Yea, let the cry go forth among all people: Awake and arise and go forth to meet the Bridegroom (even Jesus Christ, who will accept them into his Church of the Firstborn, and greatly reward each one who hears our voice and keeps our commandments); behold and lo, the Bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Prepare yourselves for the great day of the Lord (when Jesus Christ comes again to the earth in great glory).
v11. Watch, therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour.
v12. Let them, therefore, who are among the Gentiles flee unto Zion (the New Jerusalem).
v13. And let them who be of Judah flee unto Jerusalem (the New Jerusalem), unto the mountains of the Lord's house (where our temple has been erected on the celestial land of the earth.).
v14. Go ye out from among the nations, even from Babylon, from the midst of wickedness, which is spiritual Babylon.
v15. But verily, thus saith the Lord, let not your flight be in haste, but let all things be prepared before you; and he that goeth, let him not look back lest sudden destruction shall come upon him (for the telestial mortal world will break down into chaos and destruction quickly, and there is no returning.)." (words in parentheses from Heavenly Mother).'
I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her remarkable interpretations of this scripture to me! I expressed my love for her truths that she brought to light."

Doctrine & Covenants 133:24
24 And the land of Jerusalem and the land of Zion shall be turned back into their own place, and the earth shall be like as it was in the days before it was divided.
109F3-109F11: "Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, I want to answer a question from one of those who have emailed you four days ago:
Q1: "R, I was listening to a post on the creation this morning. I was wondering when did the earth's continents separate and were no longer one landmass? What caused the land to separate?
Q2: Also, what caused the flood during Noah's time? Was he really on the water for a year, and did the water cover the entire earth at that time?"
Here is what your scriptures record:
Genesis 10:25: "And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided"
D&C 133:24: "And the land of Jerusalem and the land of Zion shall be turned back into their own place, and the earth shall be like as it was in the days before it was divided."
The continents used to be all linked together as one landmass. There was a sea east (see Moses 6:42). This was originally east of the Garden of Eden, in the area east of your current continent of North America. There were other landmasses connected to your current east coast. This sea was the original ocean. It was much smaller than the current wide expanses of oceans.
When Noah and his sons departed the ark, it was 110 years until Peleg was born. It was in his youth that the earth was divided, by breaking up the peoples of the earth into multiple nations. This was after the days of Nimrod who built the Tower of Babel. This was also after the people of Jared were safely across the Atlantic Ocean to the promised land, your land now called America. Many people interpret Genesis 10:25 to be the dividing of the physical continents on the earth's surface, whereas it was really the dividing up of peoples with similar languages that split up into the various lands of the earth. The people were confounded in their languages, so they kept together in large groups and traveled over the earth in search of lands to settle. Before this time, they spoke the same language.
The dividing of the physical continents occurred at the beginning and during the catastrophic worldwide flood. This great division of the surface of the earth into the current continents of your day is what initiated the flood. The sea east was extremely deep and when the earth moved upward under this ocean floor and the single landmass divided quickly, the earth was both completely covered with water in a worldwide flood, and the one continent became seven major continents as the earth is today.
At the beginning of the changes that are to again occur on the earth before the millennium, the continents will again move quickly into one major landmass, with the New Jerusalem at the center of this one continent. This was how it was in the beginning, with the Garden of Eden at the center of this one continent. This future change in the earth's surface will wreak havoc with the nations and peoples of the earth. However, our elect will be protected during this dramatic changing of events. This will be a time when "Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low; and the crooked shall be made straight and the rough places plain." (Isaiah 40:4)
The flood that occurred in the days of Noah completely covered the earth. The account in Genesis chapter 8 is accurate from the time standpoint, showing how long Noah and his family were in the ark. By the time the ark rested on Mt. Ararat, the great upheavals on the earth had become settled and there were no more quaking and catastrophic changes. Mt. Ararat was formed during the great changes on the earth during the flood and used to be a flat plain before the flood.
From this area around Mt. Ararat, Noah and his family populated again the earth. It was soon after the Tower of Babel that I caused the languages of the people to be confounded, except for the brother of Jared and his people who came across the newly formed ocean and landed in the promised land (see Ether 1:33-37). The promised land they came to became a choice land, now separated from all other continents on the earth. I kept it hidden from the knowledge of the other nations that would form, for they would overrun the land, that there would be no place for an inheritance." (see 2 Nephi 1:8).'
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his clear answer to these questions! During my prayer, I felt to look online on my phone and found this website. When I scanned this, I felt this was true, and that God had led me there. He then gave me his revelation as I have recorded. Here is the website.
I then closed my prayer, since Heavenly Father said I needed to begin my day. I told him I loved him."

Doctrine & Covenants 133:26-34
26 And they who are in the north countries shall come in remembrance before the Lord; and their prophets shall hear his voice, and shall no longer stay themselves; and they shall smite the rocks, and the ice shall flow down at their presence.
27 And an highway shall be cast up in the midst of the great deep.
28 Their enemies shall become a prey unto them,
29 And in the barren deserts there shall come forth pools of living water; and the parched ground shall no longer be a thirsty land.
30 And they shall bring forth their rich treasures unto the children of Ephraim, my servants.
31 And the boundaries of the everlasting hills shall tremble at their presence.
32 And there shall they fall down and be crowned with glory, even in Zion, by the hands of the servants of the Lord, even the children of Ephraim.
33 And they shall be filled with songs of everlasting joy.
34 Behold, this is the blessing of the everlasting God upon the tribes of Israel, and the richer blessing upon the head of Ephraim and his fellows.
53D6-53D9: "Q- L also mentioned that the date of September 23, 2017 would be a time when John the Beloved would start to lead the lost tribes of Israel and the 144,000. May I have clarification on this?
A- From Heavenly Father:
'Raphael, the date of September 23, 2017 will end the current Jubilee year of the Shemitah. Once complete, great tribulations will be unleashed on the world. After this date, those in the "north countries shall come in remembrance before the Lord; and their prophets shall hear his voice, and shall no longer stay themselves" (see D&C 133:26-34, given below). My servant John will be among them in their journey to Zion, the New Jerusalem.
There will also be great signs in heaven to initiate these events. All men's hearts will be in turmoil, during these times.'
D&C 133:26-34-
"And they who are in the north countries shall come in remembrance before the Lord; and their prophets shall hear his voice, and shall no longer stay themselves; and they shall smite the rocks, and the ice shall flow down at their presence.
And an highway shall be cast up in the midst of the great deep.
Their enemies shall become a prey unto them,
And in the barren deserts there shall come forth pools of living water; and the parched ground shall no longer be a thirsty land.
And they shall bring forth their rich treasures unto the children of Ephraim, my servants.
And the boundaries of the everlasting hills shall tremble at their presence.
And there shall they fall down and be crowned with glory, even in Zion, by the hands of the servants of the Lord, even the children of Ephraim.
And they shall be filled with songs of everlasting joy.
Behold, this is the blessing of the everlasting God upon the tribes of Israel, and the richer blessing upon the head of Ephraim and his fellows."
I then thanked my Father for his answer and clarification to my question. I realized this is about three months away! I believe significant happenings will continue to rock the world until we are in full tribulation of war, famine, pestilence, and calamities of all types. These events will be initiated by the angels, each who receive their directions from God who is orchestrating all of this."
137E37-137E54, from Heavenly Mother: "'Raphael, your Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ and I have withheld the existence of our inner earth form mankind except to those who have lived here. There are a few reports that have been published, but most people have dismissed these as idle words that were not true.
Raphael, there is not anything that we think about but what we will do it (see Abraham 3:17). This includes creating our hollow earth for our own purposes, and by our magnificent power of creation! Let us now go down closer to the inside surface of the earth below us!'
Heavenly Mother took my left hand and together we descended to about 100 feet above the earth below. 'Raphael, we are at the treetops on the beautiful earth below us! The land is replete with vegetation, animals of all kinds, varied terrain, rivers, streams and lakes and a beautiful inland ocean to our north and the south. There are inland waterways connecting the land, beautiful vistas, and a full array of milder climates than on the outer surface of the earth. Our central mini sun receives light matter through the pole openings and ignites this on its shining side, shining like the sun on the land below. The mini sun, though much closer than your sun, is also less intense, but appears to be about the same size as your sun in the sky. There are sunrises and sunsets also as the earth rotates and the dark side of the mini sun extinguishes the light of day.
Were you to grow up in this beautiful land, you would grow up like you would on the outer surface of the earth. There are much fewer pollutions, however, for the land on the inside is much more pure and untouched. There is no moon or stars at night.
We have brought civilizations here that have grown and filled the land with cities, houses and farms. They have flourished on this telestial land. There have also been wars and contentions that are common to mankind wherever they may live in their telestial mortal life. They live in an agrarian society.
We have brought the tribes of Israel to this land from the regions of the northern part of your outer surface. They had continued their northern travels, most of them, as a group on boats they constructed. They found unfrozen or thawed seas at the entrance of the large hole on the northern pole. These people placed their faith in their prophets who led expeditions into the inward northern part of this land. Soon all those who believed the prophets migrated into the northern inside ocean and started their own civilization on the inside surface of the earth. They have grown and flourished since that time and despite wars and power struggles, are still intact as a people.
Their prophets are preparing the people who believe to come back by boats they have built to the outer surface in a coming day. They will arrive on the northernmost part of North America. The scriptures will then be fulfilled concerning their arrival.
D&C 133:26-28
"And they who are in the north countries shall come in remembrance before the Lord; and their prophets shall hear his voice, and shall no longer stay themselves; and they shall smite the rocks, and the ice shall flow down at their presence.
And an highway shall be cast up in the midst of the great deep.
Their enemies shall become a prey unto them."
We require the faith of these people to travel to the outside surface on the waters, for they have never been on the outside surface before, and only know about the land from their own records of antiquity. Many among them think this is all fables, and that these historical records are not true. However, we will bless our faithful with our Spirit, and they will have the trial of their faith to arrive on the northern beaches in the land of the arctic.
This is when the prophets will smite the ice so it melts, and a large highway comes up out of the ocean for them to travel southward to the center of your country. They will walk on foot, with their people and prophets seeking for our protection from their enemies. Their enemies will come from established countries in your world that will see this very large group of newcomers as intruders who need to be destroyed.
We will protect these descendants of our ancient covenant people in very miraculous ways. They will come in a day when the Church of Christ will again have been just organized on the earth. Then will they fulfill the following scripture:
D&C 133:30-34
"And they shall bring forth their rich treasures unto the children of Ephraim, my servants.
And the boundaries of the everlasting hills shall tremble at their presence.
And there shall they fall down and be crowned with glory, even in Zion, by the hands of the servants of the Lord, even the children of Ephraim.
And they shall be filled with songs of everlasting joy.
Behold, this is the blessing of the everlasting God upon the tribes of Israel, and the richer blessing upon the head of Ephraim and his fellows."
Raphael, this very large body of believers will come to the center of your land, even to the Jackson County area, and populate the lands round about. They will join in mass the Church of Christ. Many will also be elected into the Church of the Firstborn by our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ. You and Oriphiel will accept them into our celestial church by the waters of separation ordinance. They will then "be filled with songs of everlasting joy!" (see verse 33 above)
Raphael, the southern hole in our inner earth is where the bottomless pit is located. There is no bottom, for the northern hole makes it so there is no bottom or top.
When Michael confined Satan and his hosts recently to the bottomless pit for a short time (in your post 21D3) their numbers extended almost to the mini sun from the southern hold. We stopped them there in their telestial world of the spirit dead. This telestial pit had spirit walls that confined Lucifer and his followers into this very large area in the center of your earth. When you released them, from the large seal over the bottomless pit, the hosts of Satan flowed out of the southern pole from this hold in the earth (see your post 21M25). Satan and his minions are now all upon the land, both on the outer and inner surface of the telestial earth.
When you route Lucifer and his evil hosts back again, into the bottomless pit, you will route them into the southern pole, through the great southern hole in the earth's surface. Then you will place a seal upon them to confine them in the spirit bottomless pit for a thousand years.
This bottomless pit has spirit boundaries that are in the skies above our inner earth. The land on the inside surface will become terrestrial, just like the earth's outer surface. The entry and exit of our millennial people will be through the northern pole only and not the southern pole. They will not want to get too close to the seal of the bottomless pit that exists on the southern hole of the earth in the spirit realms. They will fill the borders of all lands with Zion communities, both on the outer and inner surface of the earth. Oh, what a lovely day this will be!'
Heavenly Mother was smiling and I think seeing in her mind the great beauties of that millennial day! I felt so blessed to have received these great truths from her this evening. I thanked her for her beautiful discussion on the land below us and of the return of the tribes of Israel from the land of the north!"
139A2, from S: "I just received a remarkable email from S of several journal entries he wrote. One of them was a very strong witness on the hollow earth that I recently posted in post 136. I felt very gratified that I was not alone to have received and confirmed these remarkable truths from God. I also received confirmation from both M.A. and S.A., for in the mouth of 2-3 witnesses (3 witnesses in this case) shall every truth be established (see Ether 5:3-4).
"R,
You asked us to share feedback on the hollow earth.
I had two journal entries that I would like to share on this matter,
10-4-19 AM
I read today in Ether 3 and pondered on the brother of Jared's experience with Jesus. Next I read Raphael's account of the hollow earth. I had never imagined or given thought to such an idea. I read it with an open heart wanting to know of its truthfulness or not. As I completed reading the his account followed by the scriptures D&C 133: 26-28, 30-34, I distinctly heard Heavenly Mother's voice come to my mind confirming the truthfulness of those scriptures and that Raphael's account was accurate and he recorded it according to the words from both his Heavenly Parents. Joy filled my heart as I contemplated more children of God who followed the spirit and would come to Zion as the pure in heart.
I then went to my closet and knelt in prayer. I called upon my Heavenly Parents. Heavenly Mother appeared standing before me. She was lovely and full of light, dressed in Her royal robes. She took my right hand and we were instantly at the northern inlet to the inner earth. There was ice enclosing this location, preserving its location from the outer earth's inhabitants. We next travelled to a town inside the earth where I saw an agrarian lifestyle that reminded me of the Amish people. Next we entered a home where I saw a mother teaching her daughter to pray to god. They were kneeling together in a bedroom. I felt the faith and love of this mother for God, and she was instilling this love into her young daughter. Heavenly Mother told me this mother and daughter would follow their prophet and come to Zion. My heart yearned for such a time of goodness and purity to cover the whole earth. I desired to be able to instill such love and faith into my own children. Heavenly Mother knew my thoughts and spoke to my mind, " I will bless you by the spirit to know how to individually help your young children to feel the love of God." At this time I was overcome with emotion and love towards my Heavenly Mother. Tears streamed down my face and cheeks and I knelt before Her. She hugged my head against Her body and I felt Her great love. I expressed my desire to be true and faithful to Her, Heavenly Father, and Jesus. I also wanted to be able to assist my fellow man to be able to feel this love in their lives. This scene closed before my view and I closed my prayer in Jesus' name.
. . . 10-5-19 AM
I felt to reread Raphael's account of the hollow inner earth. I felt such peace as I read of prophets readying the people for their return to the outer earth and to Zion for Jesus' return to the earth. My soul filled with joy.
In prayer, I called upon my Heavenly Parents. I was directed by the spirit to come to Them. I was by Their side in the air next to the inner earth's mini sun. Heavenly Father spoke, "We are standing next to the mini sun of the inner earth. This portion of the earth is beautiful and filled with Our creations. You are familiar with the Book of Mormon account that We miraculously brought Lehi and Nephi and their family to the Americas. This American land was protected from the knowledge of other people for millennia. We have preserved this inner earth land from the knowledge of the world for these same purposes. Even your modern technologically advanced society has no idea this people and inner earth exists. We have done this for Our wise purposes. You rejoiced today when you considered these faithful people following their prophets to the outer earth for the return of Jesus. This will try the faith of many of these people. This trial will ready their hearts and minds to return to Zion and be prepared for the 2nd coming of Jesus. They will bear their records which contain Jesus' visit to them when He left the Nephites. Oh what a glorious day this will be! They will be brought to Zion in a miraculous way.
At this time my young son had awoke from sleep and entered my closet and I closed my prayer.
Have a blessed Sabbath day,
S""
144B12-144B26, from S: ""R,
I was listening to M.S. on my way to work. The podcast was from the words of Mormon lecture after Omni. The phrase struck me that some of the Nephites were led to the land of the North and some went in ships. I wondered if some could have been led to the hollow earth and will return from "the North" in a coming day. Just like the Lord led many different groups to North America, i.e. Lehi family and Mulek family.
It was the words "north" and "northward" that caught my attention because that is the location given for the return of the lost tribes of Israel.
Ether 13:11
"And then also cometh the Jerusalem of old; and the inhabitants thereof, blessed are they, for they have been washed in the blood of the Lamb; and they are they who were scattered and gathered in from the four quarters of the earth, and from the north countries, and are partakers of the fulfilling of the covenant which God made with their father, Abraham."
Alma 63:4-5
"And it came to pass that in the thirty and seventh year of the reign of the judges, there was a large company of men, even to the amount of five thousand and four hundred men, with their wives and their children, departed out of the land of Zarahemla into the land which was northward.
And it came to pass that Hagoth, he being an exceedingly curious man, therefore he went forth and built him an exceedingly large ship, on the borders of the land Bountiful, by the land Desolation, and launched it forth into the west sea, by the narrow neck which led into the land northward."
Those were my thoughts this morning.
Have a great day.
S"
I said I was curious too, where they went to the land northwards. I said maybe they became the eskimos, or maybe travelled to the hollow earth.
I came this evening to the northern shores of Lake Beautiful, not far from the orchard that I had previously visited. I knelt on a grassy area with many surrounding flowers, near the shore. I asked for my Heavenly Parents, or one to come to me.
I then looked to my right, over a little hill filled with yellow and purple flowers on green stems. I saw a bright light coming over this hill, and soon Heavenly Mother came walking a few feet above her flowers in the air! She was coming to me, and was smiling, radiating so much light to me and to all of the surrounding area!
I felt so excited to be in her wonderful presence! She stopped in front of me, and raised her right hand towards me:
'Raphael, turn around and you will see the exceedingly large ship that Hagoth built to take many of the Nephite families to the land northward!'
I turned and saw a very large wooden ship on Lake Beautiful! I saw many people all around on the deck looking overboard. I saw next large chunks of ice in the water as the ship passed us.
Heavenly Mother then was next to me on my right side, also looking at the ship. She spoke again:
'Raphael, Hagoth led these people to the far northern extremities of the earth, and sailed around the cusp of the northern hole into the inside of the earth. Hagoth was a very curious man and God-fearing, as were his people. He led the people to this land by the inspirations given to him by me, the Holy Ghost and by my directions.
After they landed on the shores of the inside earth, he and his people came ashore and met and mingled with the northern tribes of Israel that I had previously brought there by my inspiration to their spiritual leaders centuries before.
Once Hagoth's people desired to stay with the other tribes of Israel, Hagoth departed again in his ship back to the land of the Nephites, even as is recorded in Alma 63:7-9-
"And in the thirty and eighth year, this man built other ships. And the first ship did also return, and many more people did enter into it; and they also took much provisions, and set out again to the land northward.
And it came to pass that they were never heard of more. And we suppose that they were drowned in the depths of the sea. And it came to pass that one other ship also did sail forth; and whither she did go we know not.
And it came to pass that in this year there were many people who went forth into the land northward. And thus ended the thirty and eighth year."
Raphael, all those ships that left the Nephite civilization ultimately came to the inner earth. They mixed with the peoples that I had previously brought there. They are all descendants of the house of Israel. We inspired Mormon, who compiled the Nephite record of Alma, not to include information of where Hagoth landed. We wished to reveal this information to you, and not in the Book of Mormon account.
Those who traveled northward by foot came to the northernmost areas of North America. Their descendants mixed with the people they came upon in the northern regions. Some also built boats as they could, and a few also came into the inner hollow earth, traveling on the waters. This was the only way for this ancient people to arrive or depart this region, through the northern hole on the earth.
The Nephite nation was mostly in North America, where your country is now located. Some also travelled south to Central and South America. Hagoth departed from the area north of Zarahemla, and launched his ships from the land Bountiful, in the narrow neck of land area, into what they called the west seas, or into the Great Lakes region. He travelled north along what is now called the St Laurence River to the Atlantic Ocean. From here he travelled northward to the Arctic Ocean.
I led Hagoth on his ships towards the northern hole in the Arctic Ocean. On their journey they passed areas of ice in the ocean, but the ocean path was navigable with open waters. I have shown you on Lake Beautiful this ship as it would have appeared from the shore, passing chunks of ice in the open waters.'
I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her explanation, and to have answered S's and my curiosity!
She spoke again:
'Raphael, the descendants of these tribes of Israel, who mingled and mixed with Hagoth's people, will come as a group in a future day to your land of America again, from lands of the north where I have led them. Your land of America is actually the land where many of their ancient ancestors of their Nephite civilization once lived. They know of their history, and of Hagoth's journey to the land northward. They will bring their records which attests of this migration, and of the appearance of Jesus Christ to them after he visited the Americas (see 3 Nephi 17:4-"But now I go unto the Father, and also to show myself unto the lost tribes of Israel, for they are not lost unto the Father, for he knoweth whither he hath taken them").
I turned toward my Heavenly Mother, thanking her for revealing to me this remarkable journey of this part of the Nephite people! I said I loved her so much, and was so appreciative of her revealing this great truth to me tonight!"
144C1-144C6: "Last night at the end of my prayer with my Heavenly Mother I went to my bookshelf and pulled off a book that I hadn't read in many years. The book was entitled "This Land, Zarahemla and the Nephite Nations", by Edwin G. Goble and Wayne N. May, printed in 2002 (ISBN 0-9703985-1-4). It is a fascinating read, and on page 70-89 the authors talk about Hagoth. They conclude that Hagoth came to the Atlantic Ocean and then headed to the Hawaiian Islands by going around the tip of Africa to the south. The author's have some evidence that Hagoth's people came to Hawaii. However, when I skimmed this part of the book, I felt very much a negative feeling, and that this was incorrect. I felt so much assurance, on the other hand, that these Nephite expeditions went northward, even into the hollow earth. I wrote as I was inspired by my Heavenly Mother last night. I felt her influence, and wrote as she inspired me, word by word.
I also distinctly saw, in my unconscious mind, the large ship and large ice chunks, like icebergs, in the waters of the lake.
It is all so revelatory to me! I have confirmed what I wrote this morning also, before my morning prayer. I love learning of fascinating journeys like this one that has been hidden from the world for so long!
Not only did I receive a confirmation of Hagoth's journeys, but also in the main location of the Nephite nation in North America, even as is described so well in the book I have. I know one of the ladies that comes to our folk dances had recently gone on a tour with Brother May, one of the authors, I believe to visit areas of the ancient Nephite civilization in the Ohio area. Joseph Smith even called the settlement across the Mississippi River from Nauvoo "Zarahemla". I believe this is the location of that Nephite city.
Anyway, this morning I came again to the celestial orb, to the rocky cliffs that overlook the city of Enoch to the north. The sky was clear and the celestial sun was shining. I could see many forested lands below me, and part of the city of Enoch in the distance. I then knelt on the rock and asked my Heavenly Father to come, for I felt he would come this morning.
Heavenly Father then descended from his higher celestial realm right in front of me! He stood on the rock surface and immediately spoke:
'Raphael, the account of Hagoth's journey to the land northward and to the inside lands of the earth is true. You have written it correctly from your prayer last night with Heavenly Mother.
There have been many people who loved us and to whom your Heavenly Mother led by the Holy Ghost to distant lands. She inspired Lehi in his journey across the waters to the promised land where you now live. Your Heavenly Mother and I consult about all of our children, and at times we lead them to new areas of habitation. We inspired Enoch, Noah, the Jaredites, the Nephites, Columbus and more in all of their travels. We preserve lands of promise for those we will lead in future years. We know of all civilizations over all the earth, since the beginning when Adam and Eve first came into the lone and dreary telestial realms on the earth on which you dwell. All of these migrations required great faith of those being led by the one inspired by the Holy Ghost. We use my Holy Spirit to inspire and support the people in their journeyings, and the stronger enlightenment of the Holy Ghost to inspire the spiritual leader of the group. When the new colony arrives in the land to where we have led them, they usually are very faithful and grateful for our mighty power in leading them to their new lands of inheritance. Since the beginning, Satan has come among every group and tried to dissuade them, or has caused contentions and strife among their ranks, to thwart our migratory efforts."
144D1-144D19: "I reread over my journal entries this morning before my prayer. I felt inspired again, and assured of the truthfulness of what I had written. I also received an email from S, saying that he too confirmed what Heavenly Mother had revealed to me about Hagoth's journey to the inner earth. This is comforting to me to receive confirmations of others.
This morning I came to the water's edge again on the shore next to the maple tree grove on the celestial orb. I chose to kneel on the shore, and then asked for my Heavenly Parents to come, or one to come to me.
Heavenly Father then appeared next to me on my left side. He was looking out over the waters of the lake to the east. He spoke:
'Raphael, look with me on the waters, and you will see reenacted the first landing of Hagoth in his large ship that landed on the shores of the inner earth!'
I looked and saw the same ship I saw earlier on this lake then come near the shore. I saw that ropes were lowered with anchors to keep the large ship from coming ashore. Then I saw a few smaller boats being lowered and people descending into them. They rowed these boats ashore and landed. I saw the boats return and soon the entire boat seemed to be emptied.
The now large group on the shore then all knelt together in a prayer of thanksgiving to God I felt moved by their gratitude to have been preserved by the hand of God in coming across the northern waters to these inland shores!
Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, these humble people had great faith in God, and know we guided them to their new lands of inheritance. Let us now go above them in the air, out of their sight, as they meet and mingle with our ancient people from the tribes of Israel whom we had previously led to this land!'
I stood and took my Father's hand. We were immediately inland above the large group of people who were walking as a group from the ship. They soon saw a city on a hill not far away. I saw Hagoth, their leader, turn and address the large group. He told them that this was a friendly city and not to fear, for he had been impressed by the Holy Ghost that these too were God-fearing people, and worshiped the same God as they did as he was talking, I saw a group of emissaries from the city approaching the group.
Hagoth and two others came apart from the group and stood with open arms held downward. The emissaries came and stopped in front of them. They didn't understand each other's language, but after a moment, with hand signals and Hagoth drawing in the dirt with a stick, the newcomers were welcomed! The emissaries from the city embraced Hagoth and the two others he had brought. They communicated to them to walk with them into their city while the group behind them from the ship stay in place.
Hagoth returned and told his people that the men from the city were friendly, and for them to wait there until he would return. He said he and the other two leaders were going into the city with their escorts.
Heavenly Father spoke next:
'Raphael, the people of the city opened their homes to these new refugees, and they fed and housed them for many days. They soon all learned to communicate, and learned each other's language eventually. They had an original similar language in the beginning, but both peoples had modified their spoken and written words.
Hagoth met again with his group in a few weeks and found they wanted to stay in this new land. They were assisted by these welcoming and loving people to establish a settlement not far away for these Nephite explorers. Here they set up camp and soon built houses, with the help of the tribes of Israel living in that land.'
Hagoth returned with a small group of the Nephites and some of the city that had welcomed them. They relied on the city that had welcomed them. They relied on the inspirations and revelations from God to navigate back to the land of Bountiful . There they gathered more people and provisions and additional ships, and departed again to the lands of the north. They never returned again to North America.
Raphael, most of the descendants of our people Israel, who live in the inner earth, are still God fearing. There are very many among them whom I have chosen as my elect. These are now also being changed to terrestrial mortals, as those on the outer surface of the earth whom I have selected are being changed.
The peoples inside the earth have an active church organization and prophets. They were formally organized by Jesus Christ when he visited those people after his resurrection. They had twelve disciples whom Jesus ordained as his apostles, similar to what he earlier did among the Nephites:
3 Nephi 12:1 "And it came to pass that when Jesus had spoken these words unto Nephi, and to those whom had been called, (now the number of them who had been called, and received power and authority to baptize was twelve), and behold, he stretched forth his hand unto the multitude, and cried unto them saying: Blessed are ye if ye shall give heed unto the words of these twelve whom I have chosen from among you to minister unto you, and to be our servants; and unto them I have given power that they may baptize you with water; and after ye are baptized with water, behold, I will baptize you with fire and the Holy Ghost; therefore, blessed are ye if ye shall believe in me and be baptized, after that ye have seen me and know that I am."
These people still have their original Church of Christ intact, over all the centuries from the time Jesus Christ visited them. They are now preparing, as a people, to migrate out of their lands to come again to the north countries in North America. Their prophets are inspired by us their Gods, and receive true revelation. When the correct time comes for their departure, we will lead them forth with our power.
In that day will be fulfilled the promise we made to our prophet Joseph Smith, Jun-
D&C 133:26-34
"And they who are in the north countries shall come in remembrance before the Lord; and their prophets shall hear his voice, and shall no longer stay themselves' and they shall smite the rocks, and ice shall flow down at their presence.
And an highway shall be cast up in the midst of the great deep. Their enemies shall become a prey unto them. And in the barren deserts there shall come forth pools of living water; and the parched ground shall no longer be a thirsty land.
And they shall bring forth their rich treasures unto the children of Ephraim, my servants.
And the boundaries of the everlasting hills shall tremble at their presence.
And there shall they fall down and be crowned with glory, even in Zion, by the hands of the servants of the Lord, even the children of Ephraim.
nd they shall be filled with songs of everlasting joy.
Behold, this is the blessing of the everlasting God upon the tribes of Israel, and the richer blessings upon the head of Ephraim and his fellows."
Raphael, you and our holy angels are those who will administer to these, the tribes of Israel who will come from the north and from the south, and eventually from the entire world as we gather our elect upon the face of this, your promised land of America. We will establish again the Church of Christ in this land, and then the Church of the Firstborn that we will establish through you. You will receive all of our elect as they become ready and prepared, into the New Jerusalem temple, to "be crowned with glory, even in Zion, by the hands of the servants of the Lord, even the children of Ephraim" (see verse 32 above).'
I bowed my head and thanked my Father for his marvelous words, vision and revelation to me this morning! I said I would do all he and Heavenly Mother would command me to do."
165H13-165H22, in a vision from Heavenly Father: "I saw one more scene in the eastern skies, and that was that those of the lost tribes of Israel, in the inner earth were preparing their boats with provisions to soon come out to the northern oceans.
This was also seen by Nephi in 1 Nephi 14:17.
"..at that day, the work of the Father shall commence, in preparing the way for the fulfilling of his covenants, which he hath made to his people who are of the house of Israel."
Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, after the destruction that is coming upon your land in the latter end of this year and next, we will then inspire these tribes of Israel to start their trek next year, in 2021, to the outer earth. Our servants John and S will both be with them in their journey, eventually coming to the New Jerusalem. They will come after your own country is invaded by foreign troops who destroy many of the wicked in your own land of America. These tribes of Israel will come upon the outer earth armed with a similar power of God as those elect living on the outer earth.
Then shall the scripture in D&C 133:26-29 be fulfilled when these lost tribes of Israel will make their grand appearance in the north countries:
D&C 133:26-
"And they who are in the north countries shall come in remembrance before the Lord; and their prophets shall hear his voice, and shall no longer stay themselves; and they shall smite the rocks, and the ice shall flow down at their presence.
And an highway shall be cast up in the midst of the great deep.
Their enemies shall become a prey unto them,
And in the barren desserts there shall come forth pools of living water; and the parched ground shall no longer be a thirsty land."'
I then saw this large group of Israel coming out upon the Arctic Ocean, and traveling by boat to the northernmost shores on the land. They then traveled by foot southward, and were fully sustained by the provisions they brought and by the protection God gave to them.
When they were attacked, or attempted by evil powers to be destroyed, these enemies became a prey to them. Thus they were protected along their journey and sustained, even until they reached the New Jerusalem that would be started in its construction. Their arrival would greatly strengthen and speed up the building of that holy city.
Heavenly Father then directly looked upon me, turning from the scene that we had been viewing in the eastern skies:
'Raphael, the timing of all the events coming quickly upon your earth is all coordinated by us, your Gods. We see the end from the beginning. We are employing all of our righteous children in our great effort to bring about the promised millennial day. This is our work, our strange work, and our act, our strange act (see Isaiah 28:21) in these last days of great change and transition.'
I deeply thanked my Heavenly Father for his revelations this morning. I thanked him to have fully answered my questions. I said I felt very humbled to have part in this great effort in helping protect and save the elect from Satan and his powers.
Heavenly Father smiled and then moved back a few feet in the air and departed. I reread what I had just written and confirmed that what I had written all rang true. I then closed my prayer and started my new day."
Sun, Jan 28, 2024
The 10 tribes returned from the regions of ice at the north pole, after arriving there from the inner earth on ships. They had prophets leading them. Soon the entire group traveled into the barren terrestrial earth, thereby escaping their enemies. Later in their journey, their prophets were able to smite enemies on the telestial earth under them, through a veil.
178K14-178K19: "Heavenly Father: 'Raphael, I am about to come out in anger upon the wicked in your land, including conspiring leaders who stop at nothing to take advantage of the people. They care not for the people, but only want to kill them or subjugate them under their dominance. My plan will soon no longer require them, for they will be destroyed when I come out of my hiding place to vex, judge, and destroy them. My fire will soon burn them up, and the tribes of Israel will soon also destroy their best laid plans when they become their enemies. The Lincoln Dream of Pastor Coverstone spoke of fire and ice. The fire will be from the natural devastations we will bring upon the land, including earthquakes, volcanoes, whirlwinds, violent weather, and the arrival of Nibiru that will destroy their land. The ice is from the arrival of our people, Israel, who will call down my further destructions upon them, their enemies.
D&C 133:26
"And they who are in the north countries shall come in remembrance before the Lord; and their prophets shall hear his voice, and shall no longer stay themselves; and they shall smite the rocks (those rocks are those wicked in your land who have fully ripened in iniquity, even who have overtaken your government and seek to destroy the constitution and republic of the United States of America), and the ice shall flow down at their presence (this ice is both the ice at the polar caps when it breaks up before them, and secondly the power of destruction that I will bring down at the commands of their prophets upon the wicked in the promised land. "Nation, brace yourself for fire and ice" as heard by Dana Coverstone is how I will destroy the wicked out of your land, and claim the elect from among the people even as my jewels (D&C 60:4). The wicked I will blow away by my breath after they are destroyed, so that they leave neither root nor branch on the earth." (Heavenly Father's words in parentheses).
See Malachi 4:1
"For behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall burn as stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch") (Words in parenthesis given by Heavenly Father.)'
I bowed my head before my Father and acknowledged that his judgments were just. I thanked him not to prolong the removal of the wicked from the land for very long. I said I was so looking forward to starting soon on the New Jerusalem next spring.
He smiled upon me, but his eyes seemed full of vengeance and fire. Then a large fire came around his person as he rose up in the celestial skies! There was a violent wind that also came and wrapped around him as he powerfully disappeared from my view!
I silently thanked my Father for his powerful message tonight!"

This highway was cast up soon after the expulsion from the Garden of Eden of our first parents Adam and Eve, when the terrestrial earth became a barren land. The highway is upon this terrestrial barren land.
190G28-190G32, from Heavenly Mother: "Q. When the northern tribes of Israel come to the outer earth, will they come into the telestial realm on the outer earth?
A. 'Yes."
Q. When will this large group of people enter into the terrestrial realm of the earth on their trek to the New Jerusalem?
A. 'Raphael, they will remain on the telestial sphere of the outer earth for a short time, until they are discovered. Their prophet will then prepare his people, even while in the northern barren countries of your earth, to enter into the terrestrial realms on the mortal earth. A highway has been created in this terrestrial realm on which the northern tribes will travel (see D&C 133: 27 "an highway shall be cast up in the midst of the great deep."). All around them will be the great waters that now exist in the terrestrial mortal realm.
The large group of the northern tribes will then disappear from the view of those in the telestial world. They will have no obstructions on their journey from that time on, for the mortal terrestrial realm on the earth will not be inhabited at that time.
When these come to the New Jerusalem, you will meet them there. This will be in June and July of 2021 when these tribes of Israel will arrive (see your post 171B20).'
Q. How will the remnants of Jacob come to the New Jerusalem? Will they also travel in the terrestrial realm as the northern tribes will do?
A. 'The remnants of Jacob will come across your land on the telestial earth. These are now crossing the southern borders of the United States in great numbers. After living in your land for some months, the Spirit will touch those among them who are the elect of God, and call them to enter into the land of Zion. They will come to the Missouri area and there will enter the terrestrial realms, at that point. They will travel a relatively short distance to the New Jerusalem area. You will meet them there, at the gates of Zion, and welcome them into the New Jerusalem area.'"

Doctrine & Covenants 133:28
28 Their enemies shall become a prey unto them,
190J16-190J32: "Evening-I came tonight to the start of the highway to the north in the terrestrial realm on the earth. This is where the northern tribes will enter into the terrestrial mortal world.
I decided to then venture onto the telestial earth in front of me to the north, and found snow and ice all around. As I moved back into the terrestrial realm on the highway. I saw that the climate was mild and much more pleasant on the highway, with no snow, ice, or any subzero weather.
I came to the center of this large highway entrance. I had seen it was not quite a mile wide. On either side were the shores of the terrestrial waters. All looked barren and without plants or inhabitants. There was land, water and air in this terrestrial realm, but no apparent life.
I knelt facing north and asked for my Heavenly Father to come to me, and to answer some questions I had in my mind.
Heavenly Father appeared in front of me, with his glory drawn mostly into his person, and not shining much to the regions about us.
He spoke: 'Raphael, this is where the light of God will lead the head prophet and peoples of the northern tribes of Israel. To our north you can see snow, ice, and harsh, cold weather. To our south you can see pleasant skies and warmer weather on the highway.
As the tribes of Israel come here, the scripture in D&C 133:26-27 will come to pass:
"And they who are in the north countries shall come in remembrance before the Lord; and their prophets shall hear his voice, and shall no longer stay themselves; and they shall smite the rocks, and the ice shall flow down at their presence.
And an highway shall be cast up in the midst of the great deep."
As these people pray in faith for deliverance from the extreme cold that they will find themselves in after emerging on the cusp of the outer earth, they will see this highway before them. It will be likened to them smiting the rocks, with ice flowing down before their presence.
Once they come to this point where we are standing, the transition out of the cold and into warmer weather will be very remarkable to them. They will actually all be in the terrestrial realm at this point, where never before man has traveled.
This miracle of entering into our terrestrial world on a highway made of rock, sand and dirt will be as great and miraculous as their ancestors entering into the dry path on the bottom of the Red Sea with Moses. The enemies of these refugees will then be unable to find their newly discovered human caravan. Both miracles will show to Israel the power of God in answering their prayers, and delivering them from their enemies.
The tribes of Israel have carefully prepared themselves by bringing food for themselves and feed for their animals. They will ration this among themselves so that they might make the long journey without expiring.
The waters of the great deep on either side of the highway are fresh waters, for as yet they contain no life nor nor is it salty. There is only water, earth and air, with pleasant weather all around until they reach the borders of the New Jerusalem.
Once this group arrives on the highway to the barren and vast land of the promise, then this next scripture will be fulfilled:
D&C 133:29
"And in the barren deserts there shall come forth pools of living water; and the parched ground shall no longer be a thirsty land."
The pools of water which emerge will satisfy the thirst for the travelers and their flocks and herds, but will not be living water. The living water that will transform the entire earth will come forth from the deep cavern under the island of the New Jerusalem.
The scripture also states that "Their enemies shall become a prey unto them" (D&C 133:28). This is referencing the actions of the prophets of these northern tribes when they are upon the barren land of promise. Raphael, they will hear the single note from your trumpet call, during the light of a thousand suns event. The prophets of these tribes will smite the enemies of the righteous elect that dwell in the lower telestial realm, even by the power of God. These enemy troops, marauders, and wicked people on the telestial land will think that God had smitten them. In reality, it will be from the prophets whom I will inspire of the northern tribes coming to Zion. These prophets will be able to see periodically into the lower telestial realms and act in my authority as I command them.
When this large caravan arrives at the borders of the New Jerusalem, you will go out to meet them. The waters of the mighty river that surrounds the island city will stop for them, for they will exercise their faith to cross through the river to the New Jerusalem on dry ground (see your post 173D4). Oh, what a joyous occasion this will be for all! These will be the first travelers to Zion, the New Jerusalem.
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his beautiful message tonight. I looked up around us and saw the northern lights dancing in the night skies. I thought of how exciting this will be for the tribes of Israel to see when they come forth on these northern regions of the earth. It would be like a welcoming sign from God!"

The barren and thirsty land is the terrestrial rocky land that the tribes of Israel traveled upon on their journey to the New Jerusalem. Others who travel by foot may also go on this very barren land. There were miracles where pools of living water came forth in these journeys. Soon this terrestrial land will become very fruitful and verdant.

These are the details of the return of 10 tribes to mount Zion, even at the island of the New Jerusalem. The everlasting hills may refer to the habitat if the ancient of days (Adam), or the area of Jackson Co, Missouri. It has no scriptural references to Utah.
Their rich treasures will be used to adorn the celestial temple at the New Jerusalem. These will be used under the stewardship of Raphael , who in the flesh was of Ephraim lineage.

Mon, Sep 2, 2024
September 2, 2024: I sang a song in church about Ephraim being crowned with his blessings in Zion: "The Spirit of God", verse four: "How blessed the day when the lamb and the lion Shall lie down together without any ire, And Ephraim be crowned with his blessing in Zion, As Jesus descends with his chariot of fire!"
This morning I looked up scriptures about Ephraim:
D&C 133:34: "Behold, this is the blessing of the everlasting God upon the tribes of Israel, and the richer blessing upon the head of Ephraim and his fellows."
D&C 65:35-36: "And the rebellious shall be cut off out of the land of Zion, and shall be sent away, and shall not inherit the land.
For, verily I say that the rebellious are not of the blood of Ephraim, wherefore they shall be plucked out."
Genesis 48:14-20: "And Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it upon Ephraims head, who was the younger, and his left hand upon Manassehs head, guiding his hands wittingly; for Manasseh was the firstborn.
And he blessed Joseph, and said, God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God which fed me all my life long unto this day,
The Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.
And when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand upon the head of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he held up his fathers hand, to remove it from Ephraims head unto Manassehs head.
And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father: for this is the firstborn; put thy right hand upon his head.
And his father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know it: he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations.
And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee shall Israel bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh: and he set Ephraim before Manasseh."
Ezekiel 37:16-27 "Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions:
And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand.
And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou meanest by these?
Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand.
And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes.
And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:
And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all:
Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwelling places, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.
And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them.
And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children's children for ever: and my servant David shall be their prince for ever.
Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.
My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people."
Isaiah 28:3-7: "The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, shall be trodden under feet:
And the glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley, shall be a fading flower, and as the hasty fruit before the summer; which when he that looketh upon it seeth, while it is yet in his hand he eateth it up.
In that day shall the Lord of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his people,
And for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate.
But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment."
Jeremiah 31:6-13: "For there shall be a day, that the watchmen upon the mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion unto the Lord our God.
For thus saith the Lord; Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout among the chief of the nations: publish ye, praise ye, and say, O Lord, save thy people, the remnant of Israel.
Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the coasts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together: a great company shall return thither.
They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.
Hear the word of the Lord, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock.
For the Lord hath redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from the hand of him that was stronger than he.
Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of the Lord, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all.
Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow."
All of these scriptures reveal a great mission for those of the literal tribe of Ephraim in the last days. There are those of the tribe of Ephraim among the lost tribes of Israel who are already in Zion, the New Jerusalem. Are these the leaders there too, among the tribes?
And then there are those of the tribe of Ephraim who largely have been gathered into the latter-day Church, started with Joseph Smith the seer, who himself was of the tribe of Ephraim. Are these who are declared by the patriarchs of the LDS Church as the lineage of Ephraim going to be the last ones to enter Zion?
Jesus said that those of the tribes of Israel would help build the city of the New Jerusalem:
Elder Bruce R. McConkie (1915-85) of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles described ". . . Joseph Smith, of the tribe of Ephraim, the chief and foremost tribe of Israel itself, was the Gentile by whose hand the Book of Mormon came forth, and the members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, who have the gospel and who are of Israel by blood descent, are the Gentiles who carry salvation to the Lamanites and to the Jews (The Millennial Messiah [1982], 233).
I would love to know when those who are the repentant among the tribe of Ephraim, living among the Gentile nations, will become leaders in gathering Israel and establishing the city of the New Jerusalem.
3 Nephi 21:14, 22-24: "Yea, wo be unto the Gentiles except they repent; for it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Father, that I will cut off thy horses out of the midst of thee, and I will destroy thy chariots;
. . . But if they will repent and hearken unto my words, and harden not their hearts, I will establish my church among them, and they shall come in unto the covenant and be numbered among this the remnant of Jacob, unto whom I have given this land for their inheritance;
And they shall assist my people, the remnant of Jacob, and also as many of the house of Israel as shall come, that they may build a city, which shall be called the New Jerusalem.
And then shall they assist my people that they may be gathered in, who are scattered upon all the face of the land, in unto the New Jerusalem."
I humbly asked for enlightenment from my Heavenly Father this morning. I felt that I should now write his words that I felt that he would give to me:
"Raphael, I have inspired you yesterday during the hymn you sang at church, to pursue the thoughts you had on the tribe of Ephraim. I will now enlighten your mind on this subject.
Joseph Smith, our seer and prophet of this restoration in the last days, was of the tribe of Ephraim. He was our instrument to bring forth much of the fulness of the gospel, including new scriptures, to our children on the earth.
The missionary work in the LDS Church brought many into that church who were predominantly of the lineage of Ephraim. Their descendants today form a large body of seasoned members who are of the blood of Ephraim. I have also chosen many of them as my elect who will go forth into Zion, the New Jerusalem, and her surrounding cities.
These who have first come to the New Jerusalem from the tribes of Israel from the north include those of the tribe of Ephraim. This is the lineage of many of their leaders. Their prophet is from the tribe of Levi, where the Melchizedek Priesthood was passed down from father to son. However, many of those in this large group who are natural born leaders are from the tribe of Ephraim.
There are many of the tribe of Ephraim whom I have chosen as my elect. Those in the telestial earth are largely in the LDS Church and in Christian churches in the land. However, they largely are not yet awakened to the new revelations about Zion. These are being taught in the celestial realms at night by our servants, and therefore are being prepared to recognize and accept the many truths that we have given to you and will confirm upon them by the Holy Ghost when they read or hear them in the flesh. They will need to repent and humble themselves before us to accept these revelations that we will confirm in their hearts and minds.
A large number among the Gentiles, even your own nation and those of the nations of the earth, who accept the new truths we reveal to them, will be of the lineage of Ephraim. There will be many also of other tribes of Israel among those who are brought to Zion in the terrestrial world. All of these elect need to humble themselves before us, accept our guidance in their lives, and follow our clear directions to gather to Zion. They must desire this above the pull of the world and the sins and beliefs that they will leave behind for the fulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
When those of Israel, and of the tribe of Ephraim, repent and come to Jesus Christ, my Beloved Son, he will gather them and lead them to Zion. They will not be leaders at first in Zion, but be humble followers of the Holy Spirit:
D&C 46:56-59 "And at that day, when I shall come in my glory, shall the parable be fulfilled which I spake concerning the ten virgins.
For they that are wise and have received the truth, and have taken the Holy Spirit for their guide, and have not been deceived, verily I say unto you, they shall not be hewn down and cast into the fire, but shall abide the day.
And the earth shall be given unto them for an inheritance; and they shall multiply and wax strong, and their children shall grow up without sin unto salvation.
For the Lord shall be in their midst, and his glory shall be upon them, and he will be their king and their lawgiver."
Those of the tribe of Ephraim, who are currently among the Gentile nations of the earth, will first need to humble themselves and come to Zion while experiencing many hardships and difficulties. Once they are established in Zion cities, then they will naturally become leaders of their communities, for this is their heritage and right according to the birthright blessing of Jacob, first upon the head of Ephraim and secondly upon Manassah.
Raphael, I have also chosen both Joseph the prophet and you, our archangel prophet of the last days, to be of the leadership tribe of Ephraim. We have also given John the Beloved a portion of the blood of Ephraim. You and John both are living leaders in the flesh to prepare the earth for the coming of Jesus Christ, both in the spiritual and physical realms. You will both continue your important leadership roles in the house of Israel, having the leadership heritage of Ephraim."
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his words this beautiful September morning! I am so thankful for this stream of revelation that he so graciously extends to me!
Later: I have reread the entry above, and prayed about whether this was truly from my Heavenly Father or not. I felt the Spirit confirm that this was all from him, and not from me.

Doctrine & Covenants 133:36-39
36 And now, verily saith the Lord, that these things might be known among you, O inhabitants of the earth, I have sent forth mine angel flying through the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel, who hath appeared unto some and hath committed it unto man, who shall appear unto many that dwell on the earth.
37 And this gospel shall be preached unto every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people.
38 And the servants of God shall go forth, saying with a loud voice: Fear God and give glory to him, for the hour of his judgment is come;
39 And worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters
29D11-29D17, from Heavenly Mother: "Q- D&C 27:5 states that the Book of Mormon "contains the fulness of my everlasting gospel", and D&C 133:36-37 states this:
"And now, verily saith the Lord, that these things might be known among you, O inhabitants of the earth, I have sent forth mine angel flying through the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel, who hath appeared unto some and hath committed it unto man, who shall appear unto many that dwell on the earth.
And this gospel shall be preached unto every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people."
Also, President Gordon B. Hinckley stated in 1995 (Ensign, November 1995, page 70):
"John the Revelator saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people (Revelation 14:6). That angel has come. His name is Moroni. His is a voice bringing another witness of the living reality of the Lord Jesus Christ."
On October 3rd, 2016, at the mouth of the Provo Canyon, I proclaimed that this angel in Revelation 14:6 was me, Raphael, bringing the everlasting gospel of the church of the Firstborn, through the 144,000.
What am I to understand by all this, for it seems contradictory? I am confused.
A- Today you have been told that you, Raphael, will transport the golden plates, as an angel of God, from the hill Cumorah, to the New Jerusalem. The Book of Mormon contains the fulness of the gospel, for the inhabitants of the earth. Moroni, the angel, initially gave to Joseph the golden plates in September 1827 (JSH 1:59). This was the first fulfillment of the prophecy in Revelation 14:6, as President Gordon B. Hinckley accurately stated in 1995.
The second fulfillment of this scripture, in Revelation 14:6, occurred on October 3, 2016 when you, Raphael, an angel of God, flew in the midst of heaven, with all the holy angels around you, at Mount Zion. At that time, you proclaimed in the spirit to the 144,000 who were gathered on the slopes of Mount Zion, that their commission would be to proclaim the everlasting gospel unto those that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people. You said to them that when they would go into the white cloud, to the summit of Mount Zion, that Jesus Christ would himself give them this commission and charge directly from his own mouth. This soon happened as you had said it would. (See Revelation 14:1).
You then said, with a loud voice in the spirit, to all the inhabitants of the earth, as well as to those angels and the 144,000 on the slopes of Mount Zion, in the Provo Canyon: "Fear God, and give glory to him, for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters." (Revelation 14:7)
You, Raphael, will also soon carry the golden plates, including the sealed portion of that ancient book, to its final resting spot in the New Jerusalem. This will also be in fulfillment of Revelation 14:6, where you, as an archangel of God, will fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel , or the fulness of the gospel (the Book of Mormon), in your hands, against your bosom. This is the gospel that will be preached by the 144,000 to the inhabitants of the earth. This is the missionary force that will fully penetrate every nation kindred, tongue and people.
The missionary effort of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the preparatory missionary force, bringing their converts to the LDS church, in the telestial world. The final missionary force will be the 144,000 who will do so in a terrestrial world, and bring their converts to the church of the Firstborn. This record of the Book of Mormon, containing the fulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ, in used by both missionary forces. The first use the Book of Mormon that is now published; the second missionary force will also have the sealed portion of the Book of Mormon, truly the fulness of the gospel, to help convince their converts, and bring them to Zion, the pure in heart, to the New Jerusalem."
204F23-204F26, from Heavenly Father: "Our great work of gathering the remainder of our elect to Zion will begin next Wednesday, September 8, 2021. This upcoming event is why I am so pleased, and why my cape and robes are blowing in the winds of change. We will gather all of our elect over the next few years from all the nations of the earth, by our great power and strength! No unhallowed hand will stop us in our decreed course of gathering Israel, our elect, before the glorious second coming of our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ.
D&C 133:36-39
"And now, verily saith the Lord, that these things might be known among you, O inhabitants of the earth, I have sent forth mine angel flying through the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel (Raphael, this angel is you with the keys of gathering Israel. You will come above the island of the New Jerusalem in the glory of being an archangel, filled with light and power. You will call forth the holy angels to administer to, confer our power, and ordain the 144,000 servants to gather Israel from all over the earth), who hath appeared unto some (those on the island who are the tribes of Israel) and hath committed it unto man (and woman, even through the angels of God), who (the 144,000 servants) shall appear unto many that dwell on the earth.
And this gospel shall be preached unto every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people (by the 144,000 servants of God).
And the servants of God (even the 144,000) shall go forth, saying with a loud voice: Fear God and give glory to him, for the hour of his judgment is come;
And worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters" '
My Heavenly Father stopped speaking. He grew in light and majesty, even until he suddenly disappeared and there was great silence in the sky!
I thanked my Heavenly Father in my mind for this wonderful vision of him before me. I said that I would be his faithful servant and do whatever that he and Heavenly Mother would direct me to do.''"

40 Calling upon the name of the Lord day and night, saying: O that thou wouldst rend the heavens, that thou wouldst come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence.
41 And it shall be answered upon their heads; for the presence of the Lord shall be as the melting fire that burneth, and as the fire which causeth the waters to boil.
42 O Lord, thou shalt come down to make thy name known to thine adversaries, and all nations shall tremble at thy presence
43 When thou doest terrible things, things they look not for;
44 Yea, when thou comest down, and the mountains flow down at thy presence, thou shalt meet him who rejoiceth and worketh righteousness, who remembereth thee in thy ways.

Great battle of the Lord when he destroys wicked at the great battle of the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in Utah, where rocky mountains will flow down at his presence. At that time the armies will be engulfed with fire from the Lord.

51 And I have trampled them in my fury, and I did tread upon them in mine anger, and their blood have I sprinkled upon my garments, and stained all my raiment; for this was the day of vengeance which was in my heart.
52 And now the year of my redeemed is come; and they shall mention the loving kindness of their Lord, and all that he has bestowed upon them according to his goodness, and according to his loving kindness, forever and ever.
53 In all their afflictions he was afflicted. And the angel of his presence saved them; and in his love, and in his pity, he redeemed them, and bore them, and carried them all the days of old;

Here is the reason Jesus comes with red garments: from the stain of blood of the wicked which he tread in his anger. This will be in America during the battle of the great God at the time of the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

56 And the graves of the saints shall be opened; and they shall come forth and stand on the right hand of the Lamb, when he shall stand upon Mount Zion, and upon the holy city, the New Jerusalem; and they shall sing the song of the Lamb, day and night forever and ever.
Sun, Dec 11, 2011
This is a general resurrection of the righteous at the time of the redeemed (v 52). Note that it says when they shall stand upon Mount Zion. This is in America! They will also appear with Him later at the New Jerusalem and also upon the Mount of Olives at his final coming in glory.

Doctrine & Covenants 133:58-59
58 To prepare the weak for those things which are coming on the earth, and for the Lords errand in the day when the weak shall confound the wise, and the little one become a strong nation, and two shall put their tens of thousands to flight.
59 And by the weak things of the earth the Lord shall thresh the nations by the power of his Spirit.
Sun, Dec 11, 2011
Curious to see that this discussion on threshing and putting tens of thousands to flight is directly after the Lord's discussion on the battle of the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. Here Jesus tells that the weak things of the earth (humble Saints that depend upon Him) will do threshing also. Compare Micah 4 and 5.
44J2-44J3: "Heavenly Father spoke this time to me:
'Raphael, there is more that will soon change, besides our more quick and open response to our mortal angels as they sincerely prayer unto us. The other great change is that all our holy angels will be clothed upon with power and great glory, as spoken of in 1 Nephi 14:14. This change will happen before, or as we use our angels to cleanse the church and the world. They must be imbued with power from on high, and with more light and strength. They will act in our authority in all that they do for us when we initiate our strange act, and our strange work (see Isaiah 28:21). They will be ready when we use the weak things of the earth (the angels) to thresh the nations by our power."
3. (see D&C 133:58-59-
"To prepare the weak for those things which are coming on the earth, and for the Lords errand in the day when the weak shall confound the wise, and the little one become a strong nation, and two shall put their tens of thousands to flight.
And by the weak things of the earth the Lord shall thresh the nations by the power of his Spirit.)""
102E5-102E7: "Heavenly Father then said a few words:
'Raphael, you have received a few recent emails from our angels and servants who have shared their journal entries with you. They describe seeing us and receiving instruction and guidance from us. We are awakening them more and more as our heavenly light and love is poured out more abundantly upon our children. We are pleased when they act in holiness and humility before us. We then may more fully reveal ourselves to them and bring all parts of our celestial conversations to their conscious mind. All of our servants need to know that we are in charge of the activities and timing of events in these last days! Our work is great and marvelous:
Isaiah 29:14-15, 19 (Heavenly Father's comments in parenthesis)
"Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous work among this people, even a marvelous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid. (This verse refers to our great work we are unfolding unto the world even now.)
Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the Lord, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? And who knoweth us? (There are many who have secret plans to do their own work and agendas, but these will all come to naught except those we allow to come forth, or those where we inspire our servants.)
The meek also shall increase their joy in the Lord, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel." (We will build up the meek and humble among you, and use the weak and unlearned and despised to thresh the nations by the power of our Spirit. See also D&C 35:13 and D&C 133:58-59)." '"
179K15-179K20, from Heavenly Mother: "She then spoke again to me: 'Raphael, your Father and I choose the weak things of the earth to act in our stead and do our works:
D&C 133:59
"And by the weak things of the earth the Lord shall thrash the nations by the power of his Spirit."
We have chosen you, and you have not chosen us. You are called, even as was Aaron:
Hebrews 5:4
"And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron."'
She lifted me up off my knees, and placed her hand on my head and spoke: 'We have chosen you to be our humble servant in these last days, to act in our power and authority, even as we direct you in all things.'
She pulled me close to her and fully embraced me. I started to cry in her loving arms. I felt so grateful to be so close to my glorious Heavenly Mother!"
201K2-201K9: "Heavenly Father appeared in front of me in the air. He was bright and glorious, and was smiling upon me. I felt fully accepted as I was, complete with all of my mortal weaknesses and foibles.
He spoke: 'Raphael, all men and women in mortality have weaknesses. You are no exception, for this is a condition of mortality. Your Heavenly Mother and I know that you are weak and frail in some areas more than other people might be. You may try to work on your weaknesses, and we will help you turn them into strengths as you humbly come to us in prayer. Your Heavenly Mother and I have chosen to work through you, our weak and humble servant, even with all of your mortal foibles. We will orchestrate much of the work in the New Jerusalem through you. This honor does not lift you in any way above your fellowman, but it does show to all that we call whom we will, and still can do great things through the weak among them who are humble and meek.
Do not be discouraged by your own weaknesses, for we have given them to you. We watch and observe what you do with these mortal foibles. In our celestial world, you don't have these weaknesses, but are strong and very capable. However, in the mortal telestial or terrestrial world, you will continue to have various weaknesses, even throughout the millennium.
My advice is to fully accept and recognize your weaknesses that we have given to you. Do not let these discourage you, for all have weakness to some degree. Instead accept these, and rejoice that we, your Gods, can still direct and inspire you as we do. Be happy with the many gifts and strengths we continually bless you with. We will sustain you in every time of trouble, even with the weaknesses that you personally struggle with. This is all part of our plan.
Accept now my Spirit, and feel sustained and uplifted by your Heavenly Mother and me. Recognize the great need to remain humble and open. We will magnify you far beyond your own capabilities. We will endow you with our Spirit and our mantle of authority. This is ours to give as we choose, and given to you because of your important calling. We choose to work through you and our other servants who are also weak and not yet perfected.
D&C 133:58-59
"To prepare the weak for those things which are coming on the earth, and for the Lord's errand in the day when the weak shall confound the wise, and a little one become a strong nation, and two shall put their tens of thousands to flight.
And by the weak things of the earth the Lord shall thresh the nations by the power of his Spirit."'
I bowed my head before my almighty and perfect God. I thanked him to have buoyed me up with his words of truth, and his Spirit. When I am weak, then am I strong. (see Corinthians chapter 12, particularly 2 Corinthians 12:5-10).
Heavenly Father smiled upon me in acceptance of me, just as I am. He slowly faded away. I closed my prayer in the name of Jesus Christ, his Beloved Son."

63 And upon them that hearken not to the voice of the Lord shall be fulfilled that which was written by the prophet Moses, that they should be cut off from among the people.
186D15, from S: ""I received this email from S on 2-9-2021, entitled "Stern Warning":
R,
I retired to my room last night as my 5 children were then in bed. As I was unwinding for the day, I was readying myself to go and pray. I looked on my phone to see that the most recent entry from Raphael was transcribed. As I read your Monday mornings' entry, it was similar to my experience. I wanted to share the similar experience and then my experience afterwards in prayer.
2/8/21 (Monday AM)
In prayer, I called upon my Heavenly Father. I heard his voice, but did not see him. He spoke, and his words were powerful, strong, and stern: 'I speak and the earth trembleth (Psalms 104:32). My words cause the wicked inhabitants to tremble at their knees. Most seek not my words nor my counsel (Proverbs 1:25) but are blown about to and fro by the whisperings of Satan (Mormon 5:18). Hearken now, o inhabitants of the earth, to your creator, the time is now present that all who will not hear my voice nor lend an ear to my counsel will be cut off from the land (D&C 133:63). Those who will yet remain will both hear my voice and hearken to my words. No longer will my words and counsel be trampled under the feet of men (1 Nephi 19:7). '
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his message. I desired to be true and faithful to his words and commands continually. I closed my prayer in Jesus' name."

Doctrine & Covenants 136:28
28 If thou art merry, praise the Lord with singing, with music, with dancing, and with a prayer of praise and thanksgiving.
120G21-120G24, from Heavenly Mother: "She spoke: 'Raphael, you watched with your wife on your television tonight early pioneer dances. These were very wholesome and enjoyable to the many hardworking settlers. There were lots of dances that brought the people together and united communities. Today these wholesome dances and associations are all but lost, and replaced by very loud music and degrading dances, for the most part in your land among the youth. This is very displeasing to us, and has been a factor in the degradation of societal norms and manners. We will destroy the sinful practices of your current society in time. This will include the destruction of the music and seductive dances that are so popular, and all that are promoted by the adversary.
In the millennial day, there will be a revival of wholesome group dances that are very fun, and both strengthen and unify a community. Your interest in contra dances, English country dances and square dances is pleasing to your Father and Me. These sorts of dances are commonly developed at different times in the earth of our mortal children. We endorse all such activities that are lovely and wholesome, and to where I send my Spirit. We enjoyed such wholesome community dances when your Heavenly Father and I lived on our own mortal earth. These were so enjoyable to us and our families!'
I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her words on dance and music tonight! I recalled the scripture found in D&C 136:28-"If thou are merry, praise the Lord with singing, with music, with dancing, and with a prayer of praise and thanksgiving."
This was a scripture apparently given to Brigham Young by God at Winter Quarters, near Council Bluffs, Iowa after the Latter-day Saints fled Illinois."

Doctrine & Covenants 136:29
29 If thou art sorrowful, call on the Lord thy God with supplication, that your souls may be joyful.
136D5-136D13, from Heavenly Mother: "She then shone her light upon me while I was kneeling before her. I started feeling very full of light and even transparent. I could look at every part of me and feel any anxious feeling depart, being replaced with confidence and peace. I thanked my Heavenly Mother before me for this great gift she had just bestowed on me! I told her how much better I felt!
These scriptures then came into my mind: John 14:27-"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you; not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."
Also Isaiah 35:10-"And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away."
And finally D&C 136:29-"If thou are sorrowful, call on the Lord thy God with supplication, that your souls may be joyful."
Heavenly Mother then spoke again; 'Raphael, it is well that you have come unto us your Gods in prayer and desire, seeking to be relieved of your anxiety for the day ahead. I have answered your request by sending to you my peace and confidence. You now feel entirely different than you did at first! I will give you of my peace throughout your day, since you asked me to help you.'
I then realized again how much our mind and feelings control our life. I want to keep these feelings of clearness, peace, assurance and confidence, and knowing this is a great gift from God, and not from myself.
I realized too that my state of mind is according to my efforts to settle down and also to call upon God to help me. I have felt her peace come upon God to help me. I have felt her peace come upon me so completely that my mind and entire being have changed in perspective! I have now no more anxiety or feelings of being overwhelmed by all that I need to do today. Instead I feel happy for the things I may do, for I choose them and want to accomplish good things today. What a blessing it is to have activity and the ability to do and act!
Heavenly Mother spoke-'Raphael, we want you to learn the secrets of keeping happy and positive! Your Heavenly Father and I will help you along in your daily mortal life and struggles. Call upon us daily, give us time in your life to connect with us in prayer, and we will greatly help you and enhance the quality of your life. We will fill you with our peace and love so that your mind will be positive, happy and full of assurance and peace. We desire all of our faithful to do this! We will be by their side, just like we are by you, even throughout their days. When trouble comes, they will find peace and confidence in us, and will meet life's challenges in our positive Godly way. They need to work on their own mind control themselves, then ask us to help them. In this way, they will receive and learn these positive patterns of living.'
I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her words and the gift of feeling at peace today that she has given me! I said how much I loved her, Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, their Beloved Son."

Doctrine & Covenants 137:5-9
5 I saw Father Adam and Abraham; and my father and my mother; my brother Alvin, that has long since slept;
6 And marveled how it was that he had obtained an inheritance in that kingdom, seeing that he had departed this life before the Lord had set his hand to gather Israel the second time, and had not been baptized for the remission of sins.
7 Thus came the voice of the Lord unto me, saying: All who have died without a knowledge of this gospel, who would have received it if they had been permitted to tarry, shall be heirs of the celestial kingdom of God;
8 Also all that shall die henceforth without a knowledge of it, who would have received it with all their hearts, shall be heirs of that kingdom;
9 For I, the Lord, will judge all men according to their works, according to the desire of their hearts.
113G6-113G7, from Heavenly Mother: "Joseph the prophet saw his brother Alvin after Alvin's death, in the celestial glory (see D&C 137:5-9). He saw Alvin with Father Adam and Abraham, and his own father and mother in celestial glory in the future. This vision was given to Joseph in the Spirit, for Alvin was of a celestial nature and was an heir to the celestial kingdom of God. At that moment in 1836, Alvin was not in the celestial glory, but was an heir to that glory. He was located in the world of the spirits, just like your own father, who is also an heir to the celestial kingdom at some future time.'
I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her great explanation. I felt great peace and love from her presence."

9 For I, the Lord, will judge all men according to their works, according to the desire of their hearts.
50F17-50F19, from Heavenly Mother about our first parent Gods: "They counseled together, and then created the 1st estate of man to be in the spirit state, and then the 2nd estate of man to be in the physical state. They devised a plan for progression in these two states of man for their spirit children. The plan culminated in the spirit and physical states of man to be eternally joined together, which they called the resurrection. They too became the first resurrected man and resurrected woman, and received what is now called a fulness of joy.
(See D&C 138:17 "Their sleeping dust was to be restored unto its perfect frame, bone to his bone, and the sinews and the flesh upon them, the spirit and the body to be united never again to be divided, that they might receive a fulness of joy." and D&C 93:33 "For man is spirit. The elements are eternal, and spirit and element, inseparably connected, receive a fulness of joy").
After having gone through these first two estates of man themselves, and then being resurrected themselves, they devised the entire progression and testing plan for their posterity, who were still in their spirit state."
133D25-133D30, from Heavenly Mother: "She extended her hand, and said: 'Raphael, come walk with me around my garden!'
I was thrilled to be again in her presence! We walked holding hands along her garden beds, and she spoke again-'Raphael, you live on earth in a very dark day that increases with evil year by year. There are more evil people, who are full of sin and wickedness, than there has ever been during the time of the flood, or in Abraham's day, or just before the destruction of the Nephites. There are more led astray in your day by Satan than ever before.
However, there are more of the valiant and elect on the earth than during those previous days of great wickedness also. These are our elect! They will have tribulations like the wicked, but will seek us and follow our guidance. These are the ones we will spare when the wicked this time are burned with fire at the second coming of our Son, Jesus Christ. From these righteous ones will come the inhabitants of the millennial world.'
I asked her if there would be others spared that are of a terrestrial nature, who are the honorable men and women on the earth now, but who are blinded by the craftiness of men. (see D&C 76:75). She spoke:
'Raphael, there will be some of the terrestrial who have lived without knowledge of this gospel, who would have received it had they been adequately taught (see D&C 137:7-9). There will also be little children that will be spared, who have not yet reached the age of accountability. However, for those who profess to be righteous, but have rejected us during their life, and would not keep our promptings, they will not survive the day. They will have the demise of the foolish five virgins, spoken of by Jesus Christ:
Matthew 25:10-13 "And while they (the five foolish virgins) went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage, and the door was shut.
Afterward came also the other virgins, saying; Lord, Lord, open to us.
But he answered and said, verily I say unto you, I know you not.
Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of Man cometh."
Also D&C 45:56-59: "And at that day, when I shall come in my glory, shall the parable be fulfilled which I spake concerning the ten virgins.
For they that are wise and have received the truth, and have taken the Holy Spirit for their guide, and have not been deceived-verily I say unto you, they shall not be hewn down and cast into the fire, but shall abide the day. (The foolish virgins shall be cast into the fire at that day).
And the earth shall be given unto them for an inheritance; and they shall multiply and wax strong, and their children shall grow up without sin unto salvation.
For the Lord shall be in their midst, and his glory shall be upon them, and he will be their king and their lawgiver." (parenthesis added by Heavenly Mother)."

Doctrine & Covenants 138:12-19, 51
12 And there were gathered together in one place an innumerable company of the spirits of the just, who had been faithful in the testimony of Jesus while they lived in mortality;
13 And who had offered sacrifice in the similitude of the great sacrifice of the Son of God, and had suffered tribulation in their Redeemers name.
14 All these had departed the mortal life, firm in the hope of a glorious resurrection, through the grace of God the Father and his Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ.
15 I beheld that they were filled with joy and gladness, and were rejoicing together because the day of their deliverance was at hand.
16 They were assembled awaiting the advent of the Son of God into the spirit world, to declare their redemption from the bands of death.
17 Their sleeping dust was to be restored unto its perfect frame, bone to his bone, and the sinews and the flesh upon them, the spirit and the body to be united never again to be divided, that they might receive a fulness of joy.
18 While this vast multitude waited and conversed, rejoicing in the hour of their deliverance from the chains of death, the Son of God appeared, declaring liberty to the captives who had been faithful;
19 And there he preached to them the everlasting gospel, the doctrine of the resurrection and the redemption of mankind from the fall, and from individual sins on conditions of repentance.
51 These the Lord taught, and gave them power to come forth, after his resurrection from the dead, to enter into his Fathers kingdom, there to be crowned with immortality and eternal life,
63H4-63H11: "Jesus then asked me to write the words he would speak to me. Here are his words:
'Raphael, after I was resurrected, being the first fruits of the dead who were resurrected, there was a general first resurrection of the righteous who had died up to that time. The visions shown to President Joseph F. Smith in D&C 138:12-19, 51, are accurate. These just and holy spirits were the ones who came forth first as a group in the resurrection of the just.
Since that time there have been others who have also been resurrected. These include Moroni and Joseph Smith, both who died in mortality. They couldn't be translated, but were resurrected, also as part of the First Resurrection, or the resurrection of the just. There have been others who have been resurrected since my own resurrection, each for various reasons and missions. However, the far greater part of the just are not yet resurrected, but reside in the paradise of God in the world of the spirits.
There will be a general resurrection of those who are just who reside in the paradise of God at the time of my second coming to the earth (D&C 45:45). These look forward to the time of their resurrection like those did when I met them in the spirit as explained in D&C 138. At the sound of the trumpet of God, these will come forth as newly resurrected souls to meet me in the clouds of heaven as I descend to the earth in my glorious second coming.
After I come to the earth to rule and reign on the earth for one thousand years, there will also be those who are resurrected. When the just die, they will immediately be resurrected, all through the millennial day.
At the end of the millennium, after all the righteous are resurrected to a celestial glory, the angel will sound again his trump of God and the remainder of the dead will all come forth in the second resurrection (D&C 29:26). This will be for those who do not attain the glory of the celestial, but are of the terrestrial and the telestial. These will stand to be judged of their works at that time.
There has been a large group of translated souls like yourself, who will not be resurrected until later. These are translated for a mission they have which requires translation. Enoch and his group are translated and will be resurrected at my second coming. The mortal angels will remain translated throughout the millennial day and will be resurrected at the end of the thousand years. There will be others who receive their translation or resurrection at various times, depending on their assignments and mission. My Beloved Son, John the Beloved, will be resurrected at the beginning of the millennium.
Raphael, we wish for you and the holy mortal angels to administer the ordinances for the Church of the Firstborn in your translated mortal state. You will administer to many who are resurrected. These ordinances are to be part of the terrestrial earth in the celestial city of the New Jerusalem with those who are translated to a celestial state. This is the reason why you and the mortal angels will need to wait until the end of the millennium to receive your glorious celestial resurrections.'
I thanked my Redeemer for these clarifying words of truth about the resurrection! I feel very satisfied in his response. I stood, held both of his hands in mine and then turned to walk on the straight and narrow path towards the tree of life."

Doctrine & Covenants 138:18
18 While this vast multitude waited and conversed, rejoicing in the hour of their deliverance from the chains of death, the Son of God appeared, declaring liberty to the captives who had been faithful;
125C7-125C33: "Heavenly Mother then spoke: 'Raphael, let us now go to the Great Assembly Hall where there is a meeting being held and conducted by you. You are there in a replicated state from the one you are in now before us. We will watch together what happens in the meeting.'
We then were immediately in the upper corner of the hall, in the top southwest corner. I could see that I was addressing the group before me. The hall was filled with many people sitting down. Every seat was taken. I perceived in my mind that these were holy angels, celestial servants including Enoch's translated group and many who were resurrected to a celestial glory. I didn't see any others here. I could switch back and forth between my being in the upper celestial realms to myself standing at the pulpit in the celestial realms! I turned from the podium where I was then standing and looked up at the southwest corner and saw Heavenly Father, Heavenly Mother and myself, all standing. I knew we were not visible to the congregation, for they had not been invited into that higher celestial realm where the gods dwell.
I then saw Jesus Christ come and stand on the right side of the Father, so that Heavenly Father was in the middle, with Heavenly Mother on his left and Jesus on his right! I was standing on Heavenly Mother's left side and we were all facing the podium.
I then tried to perceive both of my minds in both of my replicated beings, the one in the corner and the one at the podium. I knew I could perceive them both at the same time, but in my conscious mind I could only have transferred to me on earth while I wrote in my journal, only one unconscious mind at a time. All seemed natural and just how things should be.
Heavenly Mother spoke again: 'Raphael, we have chosen to stop the present moment for a bit while I talked to you. We may do this from our higher celestial realm. Everyone in this Great Assembly Hall remains in their moveless state that they are in. We may remain in this stopped state for as long as we wish.'
I observed that my three Gods before me were moving and acting as normal, whereas those in the room, including myself at the podium, were still and seemed 'frozen' and didn't move. I came to my own self at the podium and was also frozen in my thoughts it seemed! I could instantly perceive the thoughts in my mind at the podium and then my mind in the upper celestial sphere that was active and thinking normally.
Heavenly Mother turned to Jesus Christ who then spoke: 'Raphael, we have brought you here into our upper celestial sphere today to experience what we as gods may do in stopping the present. I also want to explain to you in detail about my suffering for the sins of mankind. Time as you know it in the celestial and lower spheres may be momentarily stopped by us who are gods and who act in our upper celestial sphere.
When I was on the cross, suffering for the sins of mankind and for you, I was replicated from myself in the mortal earth to myself in these upper celestial realms. I was multiplied many times over in this highest realm. I went to each person on the earth, in the spirit world around the earth, in the pre-mortal earth, and even to the evil hosts of Satan on the earth. These were all those who were the children of our Heavenly Parents. I went to each one who was 'frozen' in time.
As I approached you in your domed room, now in God's Loving Healing Center, you were very aware that I was suffering on the earth. You were in a meditative and saddened state, seeing me, your older brother in the spirit, suffer and tremble on the cross from the pains of my mortal death, but especially from the pains for sin I was experiencing in the higher celestial realm.
I came to you in the domed room and stood before you. I was not visible to you, for I was in the higher celestial realm and you were in the celestial realm. I looked upon you and saw, in my godly powers of hindsight and foresight, your very existence from the beginning when you were first born to our Heavenly Mother, to your final time of becoming a god on our celestial earth! I saw your entire life in every phase of your living, in all your states of probation and progression. I perceived your thoughts, desires and actions in every part of this journey from a spirit baby to an exalted man!
I then went back in time and for each moment you committed a sin, by your thoughts, desires and actions, that would have prevented you from dwelling in our presence, and took upon me the required suffering that the law of justice required that I suffer for that sin or weakness in order for that sin to be fully forgiven and erased. I gathered all of these amounts of sufferings together, by my power of being a god and a Redeemer, and then confirmed with my Heavenly Father or Heavenly Mother that this was enough suffering to make you clean from the sins you had or would ever have. When confirmed, I then agreed in my mind to suffer the accumulated intense pain of the required payment for your sins! I suffered in this higher celestial world, where no one saw me suffer except my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother. They perceived my sufferings, but did not rescue me from my pain, for I suffered alone. I chose to suffer because I loved you, Raphael.'
I then came to my knees and cried to my Savior, 'Oh I thank you my cherished Redeemer, to have suffered and atoned for my sins and weaknesses!' I was crying and very emotional, for I too could see Jesus suffering for me directly, back when he suffered for me in the domed room in the higher celestial sphere!
Jesus smiled on me and spoke again: 'Raphael, I suffered for your sins since I loved you. When I had fully suffered for you I then stepped forward and embraced you while you were kneeling in the domed room. You were in the attitude of meditative prayer at the time I suffered for you, Raphael! You did not see or feel me embrace you, for I was still in the higher celestial realm.
I repeated these same steps for every son and daughter of our Heavenly Parents! They each were in various states of progression. Many knew that this was the moment of my suffering and were deep in thought, praying in their hearts for me, as were you praying for me.
Others who were in their mortal state or were in sin had no idea of the suffering I would be doing for them. Nevertheless, I suffered for each one from the higher celestial sphere, just like I described to you that I suffered for you.
The entire time I suffered in the Garden of Gethsemane, and later on the cross, was the period that I suffered in the higher celestial realm in my replicated spirits. I replicated myself many millions of times, for each period of suffering took finite moments for me to suffer.
The accumulation of my pain was also felt in my mortal body on the earth. I had been given previously a full awareness of my conscious and unconscious mind and so I could perceive all that was happening, even while I was suffering in all of my replicated states. My mind and heart on earth were synched and drawn out together in love for my fellow brothers and sisters! The pain was so severe that I bled from every pore in my mortal body on the earth.'
D&C 19:16-19
"For behold, I, God, have suffered these things for all, that they might not suffer if they would repent;
But if they would not repent, they must suffer even as I;
Which suffering caused myself, even God, the greatest of all, to tremble because of pain, and to bleed at every pore, and to suffer both body and spirit-and would that I might not drink the bitter cup, and shrink-
Nevertheless, glory be to the Father, and I partook and finished my preparations unto the children of men."
I thus suffered for the few hours in the Garden and later on the cross. In the higher celestial realms, I suffered for many long periods until all was completed, and I had suffered for all! I suffered in multiple phases, for I had stopped time for each of these phases. When my suffering was complete for one phase, I was filled again with light from both my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother and rested for a short moment. I then started time again on earth and then stopped it in the higher celestial realm again as I entered into the next phase of suffering. There were a total of 700 phases of suffering. This was given me of the Father to thus break down the total suffering into shorter suffering phases. I could then see the progress I made as I suffered through each phase.
The number of phases was significant too. Seven is a godly number and signifies in heaven completeness and one hundred signifies all. Therefore, seven times one hundred signifies all is completed. I uttered, "it is finished" (see John 19:30) when I had completed suffering the last of the 700 phases of suffering. I then voluntarily died on the cross for all mankind, having fully completed all that my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother had ordained me to do with regards to suffering for the sins of all of mankind.
At that moment, just before I gave up the ghost and my spirit was released from my physical body on the earth, I met again with both of my loving Heavenly Parents in our higher celestial realms. The suffering was all completed, and no one knew it except us three gods. I then was embraced first by my Heavenly Mother and then by my Heavenly Father. We were all crying for joy at this momentous occasion! They infused again in me their light to an exceedingly high amount and comforted and bless me, their Beloved Son!
I then died on earth and my spirit entered into the world of the spirits as is recorded in D&C 138:18.'
I was still on my knees before my Savior, Jesus Christ and my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother. I thanked Jesus profusely for his love in suffering for me, a Son of God, and for cleansing me from all sin! I thanked them all for bringing me before them for this experience.
Heavenly Father then spoke:
'Raphael, what your Great Redeemer, Jesus Christ, has shared with you is true. Go now down to our very beloved celestial angels and servants and read to them the account in your journal that you have just written! This will be the only address of this meeting. After your talk, then introduce our Beloved Son to them. He will appear in glory and light, coming from our position here. He will then descend to all of you and minister to you here, in the celestial realm in this Great Assembly Hall.
The manner and details of Christ's suffering have never before been revealed to mankind until now. We wish our faithful servants to be the first to receive these wonderful truths!'
I thanked my Father and said I would do so now. I came into my replicated being at the podium and delivered my address on the great atonement of Jesus Christ. I read exactly from my journal to the previous paragraph above. I then introduced Jesus Christ, after first asking that we all come on bended knee before him.
Jesus then appeared before us in glory. He came to each one in the vast congregation and embraced them and spoke to them. It all seemed but a short moment. He then charged us to teach these truths to the faithful, even as the Spirit of God would inspire us to share and when to share.
While I am writing this, I felt overcome with emotion, crying with large breaths between. I am so, so grateful for my Redeemer, Jesus Christ, and for his revelation to me today!"
