Matthew 1:18
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.

See my notes in 1 Nephi 11:18-20 for a detailed description of how this conception occurred.

Matthew 1:20
20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.

Mon, Apr 15, 2013
Joseph was in a meditative state when an angel spoke to him. This is a common pattern to receive direction from heaven: thinking about something, or pondering, and then receiving the direction from heaven.

Matthew 2:6
6 And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.

Sun, Jul 19, 2015
The footnote on rule is to tend, protect, nurture, all which are not the traditional nature of a ruler. Likewise, we should tend, protect and nurture those in our stewardship, and those who are entrusted to our care. This is how Christ was to do in his life.

Matthew 3:11-12
11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:

12 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.

32B2-32B9: "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."

Matthew 5:25
25 Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.

81C9-81C12: "Heavenly Mother then spoke to me:

'Raphael, we are very pleased that you are also trying to be pleasant during all your day, even when you feel pressed upon. This trait will bless you now and in the days to come. We need you to be kindly and even-tempered while living an active life on earth.

So much of being pleasant is to agree with people around you. Your loving wife has taught you this. Rather than confront or oppose people who have opinions, you can diffuse a potential argument by agreeing with them. You don't have to do what they say or want you to do either.

Matthew 5:25

"Agree with thine adversary quickly, while thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison."

At other times, it is important to be very clear and promote your own views and be more direct. These times are more rare and should be thought through carefully before voicing them. You wife did this today to the property manager, and it cleared the air, making a clear boundary. This didn't create an enemy because it was done in clearness and kindness.

Raphael, you have read online how the angel Raphael is the angel of relationship and marriage. This is partly true, for we have been sharing with you, and will continue doing so, with many ways to improve personal thoughts and feelings to enhance relationships and be loving and caring in the marriage. Our words, as written by you, will be used as foundation principles for human relationships in the future millennial day. The words you write and teach will be relied on by many.'"

98E2-98E7, from Heavenly Mother: "'Raphael, my son, your Father and I have been coaching you on how to become truly contented and happy in your mortal existence. So much of this is just accepting life's challenges as they come and loving others as best you can. Your attitude is created by what thoughts you have. We have taught you ways to control your thoughts so that your emotions are those you choose to have, for these always are created by how you think and look at life's challenges.

There are an increasing number of our children who are depressed on earth. This is a real condition for them, and greatly stunts their progress and their happiness. The best way to correct depression, sadness, despair or a host of negative emotions is to rethink in positive thoughts and get out of oneself by loving and serving others. Sometimes our children tend to think only about themselves and hardly ever think of uplifting another. Even the smallest service or simplest gift, given in love, will uplift their own spiritual state and bring light and joy back into their lives.

When it is cloudy, when you feel down or discouraged, first regroup your thoughts, changing them into a positive happy state. Then reach out to somebody, forgetting yourself. The sunshine of a happy day will then replace the gloom and darkness within, bringing increased happiness.

Some relationships also tend to stagnate and become dull or even boring. These too may be refreshed with a change in thoughts and a simple service or extension of your love. Changes happen in little steps of kindness and consideration.

Matthew 5:25

"Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison."

This scripture applies to interpersonal relationships also. An agreeable spirit is so much more pleasant than a contentious spirit, a self-centered spirit or a depressed spirit. If you truly want to be happy, agree with others quickly and validate their feelings, trying to stay on a happy and uplifting level of conversation. Serve them in love, think about what would delight them, and you will find much greater meaning in life.'

I was uplifted again by the teachings of my loving Heavenly Mother! I thanked her for her wisdom. I asked her to help me in all of my interactions to act in kindness and love as she described. She said she would be with me as the Holy Ghost, constantly in my life. She would help me always remember these things through her gentle and soft promptings to my heart and mind."

127B22-127B31, from Heavenly Mother: "'Raphael, you are correct that your thoughts about how others act and think are really created by you. They may act hostile, argumentative, and even rude, but you still may choose to think loving and compassionate thoughts about them. You may also react and feel like they are your enemy. This is all determined by you in your thoughts.

Two people may see and feel entirely different about the same circumstance. You also might see more clearly than another, or vice versa.

When a neighbor who has acted hostile towards you speaks at church, acting like they are very religious and Christian, you may still think positively of that person. You may understand that he/she has weaknesses and is still trying to do well, for they come to church, every one of our children is free to choose whatever they may do. You too may also think of them however you wish.

One perspective that may help you is to think of your fellow man as intelligences that we chose to become our son or daughter. They each would have different circumstances and upbringing in their future journey and each would have different weaknesses, most of these weaknesses in the flesh are inherited in their family they would grow up in. Thinking in this way helps you have more understanding and compassion, so that you are not so judging of their behavior, for much is foisted upon them because of their circumstances.

Another way to think of your thoughts about the person is to imagine you see them in a car with their windows up. As they pass by you, working in the field, they may say whatever they want about you, and you can't hear it. Therefore, your thoughts towards them are unaffected. However, if they rolled down the window and shouted at you a negative thing about you, you may then think badly about them. The only difference is that you heard them the second time and not the first. Think of yourself not hearing them, for you may choose what you think. You may allow any person to think of you what they wish, but really they have no power to change how you think of them, for it is only you who has that power to control your mind.

You may also do as Jesus Christ taught in the sermon on the mount: Matthew 5:25–"Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison."

This means that if someone accuses you of something, rather than get upset, agree with your accuser that you have that fault. This helps diffuse their accusation, and helps them no longer see themselves as your enemy. Your genuine and humble response may be often so disarming to them that they will stop their negative talk about you. They will tend to think more positively of you, for you are hard to offend. They may also not get the satisfaction of someone to banter or argue with, for it takes two persons to quarrel. If you agree with them quickly, then this may also quickly end their accusation talk.

When you think positively of an accusing person, you are not faking reality. Reality is only how you perceive things. It is better to diffuse the negative talk of others about you than considering them as your enemy. If you consider your neighbor as your friends, the world is a happier place!

There may be some neighbors that truly aim to do you harm. In these more rare cases, you may feel to stay away from them and not associate. However, if you see them at church, which is a congregation of sinners, be happy that they appear to be making an effort to change and improve. Perhaps they will be touched by our spirit, and will become more Christ like. Forgive them freely of past grievances, for that is our hope. They are each our son or daughter whom we have chosen to come into your life at this time. Maybe you may learn from them, and may even learn from them how to be more loving and accepting.

I thanked my loving and accepting Heavenly Mother to have come to me tonight! I humbly admitted to her my weakness at times to have become offended by others. I want to be never offended, but to be accepting and compassionate to all people, particularly my family members and neighbors."

159A18-159A23: "Tonight I came to one of the healing rooms in God's Loving Healing Center. I came to the hardwood room in the southeast sector. I have rarely been here recently, but I came here for some reason tonight. I came to a place outside the hardwood room on the north side. I prayed that my Heavenly Mother would come to me, here at this beautiful healing room.

Heavenly Mother then appeared in front of me! She spoke right away: 'Raphael, there are many people in your country who are convinced one way, and who are directly and vehemently opposed to others who may think just the opposite. There is not a lot of openness between them, nor kindly feelings, for each feels they are correct and the others are wrong. There will continue to be much division among the people, with sharp contentions and arguments. Your country will become so divided at one point that they will be like the Nephites of old:

3 Nephi 7:7– "And they did cause a great contention in the land, insomuch that the more righteous part of the people had nearly all become wicked; yea, there were but few righteous men among them."

It is important for you and our faithful elect not to argue or contend with others over their points of view. There is so much that you may agree with them, and have pleasant conversations. Spread love and acceptance among all peoples. Even if you know truth, there are times when trying to voice a defense of these truths is not wise. It is better to "Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison." (Matthew 5:25)

Heavenly Mother then said this hardwood room next to us is like the way some people act when confronted with opposite views: they react and are so hard-hearted! She said it is far better to be accepting, loving and agreeable. You don't need to agree with people to be nice to them.'

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her wisdom. I told her I would try to be more mellow when in a crowd, or more accepting of all people, even with their different beliefs and standards."

Matthew 5:38-44
38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:

39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.

41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.

42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.

43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.

44 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;

134D24-134D30: "She then spoke: 'Raphael, when I came unto you at church today, you had the sensation of looking at others through my eternity eyes. I gave you this sensation so that you would know how it felt to be able to see with my perspective, on your family, neighbors, friends and all people. I want you to continue to be very accepting and non-judging of all our sons and daughters!

When you see a wrong that you might feel needs correcting, first ask of me if you should just let it be. It is fine for others, for instance, to judge you wrongfully and for not to respond in a corrective response or in retaliation. It is also fine for others to think that something is true when it really is false, without you correcting what they believe. If someone believes one way, and you believe another, it is fine for you to accept them and to say nothing. You don't need to correct views of people, for it is far better for you instead just to accept and love them.

In his Sermon on the Mount, Jesus Christ said this in the Beatitudes:

Matthew 5:38-44–"Ye have heard that it hath been said, an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth;

But I say unto you, that ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also. And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.

Give to him that asketh thee and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away-

Ye have heard that it hath been said, thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thy 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."

Raphael, we want you to be strong and steady in your personal life, but when it comes to others, we want you to be open and loving to all, accepting them where they may be spiritually and emotionally. You may often need to let justice or fairness to be delayed, even until we whose right it is to judge all men and women. Of you, we wish you to love and accept all men and women. Let their behaviors and actions towards you go unresolved if so doing would cut those parents off from your loving influence. They will feel your acceptance and kindness, your gentleness and forbearance! They may then count you as a valued friend who understands them.

In your own marriage, you may discuss in private, the doings of others to settle in both of you about what your joint actions should be, as you consult between yourselves and us. However, outside of marriage, we desire you to be accepting and affable to all.

When you are to act with directness or confrontation, we will direct you, even by the voice of our Spirit. However, usually you should act according to the law of the gospel, as taught by Jesus Christ.'

I thanked my beautiful Heavenly Mother for her words tonight! Oh how I love her counsels!"

Matthew 5:43-47
43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.

44 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;

45 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.

46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?

47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?

189B6-189B13, from Heavenly Father: "This morning I wish to speak to you about service to others. You discussed this with your wife last night. She went on a walk with a neighbor who only talked about herself and never once even thought about asking how your wife was doing. Your wife was gracious and listened to her for the 45 minute walk.

On the other hand, another neighbor hadn't seen your wife walking past her house for the past two days, and thought she was sick. She prepared soup and brought it over to your wife after her walk. This loving neighbor is constantly thinking of others, and wondering how to serve and help them in their lives.

While both neighbors visited with your wife, you were with a fellow ward member who brought his machine earth mover to help get your garden area finished after your fire in the fall. 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 you weeks to shovel manually. You felt very kindly towards him, and were amazed at the willing service he gave you.

The neighbor who brought soup and the man with his earth mover served you unselfishly. They sought no reward, and loved you as themselves. This is true neighborliness and Christian service. We love to see such selfless love and actions among our mortal children. This sort of godly service will be typical of what neighbors will do for each other in our millennial world. They truly will love their neighbor as themselves.

Matthew 5:43-48

"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."

In this teaching, Jesus Christ taught that you should not only serve those in your circle of friendship, but those also who are counted to you as enemies. Your love and service should not be restricted to any class of people, or just to your friends, but to all in need that you may be able to help.

Jesus also taught the parable of the Good Samaritan (see Luke 10:29-37). The compassionate and kindly Samaritan had never 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 yourself. It is one of the principles that is lived in fulness in the terrestrial 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).'

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his teachings today. I yearn to serve my fellowman by starting in my own neighborhood. This is truly the sign of a Christian."

200B11-200B14: "I walked to the shore and knelt facing the waters. I asked for my Heavenly Mother to come to me. She appeared in front of me on the water. She was smiling and shining brightly. I felt very accepted and loved. 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."

Tue, Apr 23, 2013
Our religion is unique, we not only love our own but people outside. Perfection involves developing this kind of charity-to love those who are enemies to us. Jesus wants us to heal with love, for love is the greatest of all healing methods.

Matthew 5:45
45 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.

137F13-137F19, from Heavenly Mother: "Tonight you met some old family friends at a wedding reception. You walked with one of their children who had moved away, but came back for the reception. You thought it so interesting to have once taught her basketball, as a young teenage girl, and now to see her as an older adult. She had determined her own life's choice, and was independent of her parents now in what she thought and how she lived.

This is the marvel of having a family: the children grow up and choose their own paths and strike out on their own. Some accept the values and training of their parents, and some choose other ways, according to their own agency. The influence of parents begins to wane as children approach their twenties. They usually desperately want to be independent and to make their own choices. We also want them to choose what they want, on their own–for how else can we determine what our children really want without the freedom to choose?

When raising children, you and your wife have done well in instilling the values you cherished in your children. You raised them in this mindset until they were free to fully accept the responsibility to choose their own way. Some have kept different values and rejected others. This is not a reflection on your parenting ability, but on their choices. They are now adults with the ability to choose what they want.

Our message to parents of young children is to raise them to choose the life they want on their own. They will do this anyway. Children will choose as they wish, and not usually look back at what they have rejected that you have taught them. It is far more difficult for parents of grown children to say "Didn't we teach them better?" In reality, they usually did teach them correct principles, but their children chose their own path when they became adults. We don't want righteous parents to fret and feel like that have done a poor job in training their children, as long as they were attentive, nurturing and instilling Christian values to their children. We want them to know that their children need to be launched into adulthood, and then the responsibility to choose rests then with the grown child. Parents may still teach by example, but their influence naturally lessens when the grown child leaves their home.

We also send various valiancy levels of children into homes both of the righteous and of the wicked. You cannot tell until the end of their life what an individual may choose. We sent, for instance, righteous Abel and his wicked brother Cain to the same righteous parents Adam and Eve. Lehi and Sariah had sons and daughters, including Nephi who was very obedient and Laman and Lemuel who did not believe. It matters not really who your own children may have been in the pre-mortal life, for they are sent to all varieties of families. In the end, each adult child chooses whom he/she will list to obey. We treat all of our children in similar ways, depending on their heed and diligence they give us. We are no respecter of persons (D&C 38:116). Matthew 5:45–"That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust."

The minds of righteous parents on earth are often tormented by their own imaginings that they were not good parents, since some of their children "went astray". We who are their Heavenly Parents, do not apply any sinful or negligence charge to the actions of such parents, who have diligently labored in love for their children, so why do they themselves? We wish these good souls to let such false notions to pass away from their minds, and to think instead on how much they loved, nurtured and cared for them while these children were in their stewardship. They are responsible to launch them into adulthood, as best as they can. They should love and accept them as adults and not preach to them even though some have rejected their upbringing and teachings. Oh, how we love our faithful righteous parents!

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her great counsel to us who are parents! I told her I loved her teachings, and cherished her values and truths."

175H5-175H9: "Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, we are sorry for the destruction of your chicken coop and greenhouse from the fire last night! You were blessed to have had a sheriff's patrol car drive down your street and see the flames. I inspired him to drive by so that he could alert the fire department and extinguish the fire.

There will be a time, in the near future, when law and order and normal services like fire control, are no longer available in your land, particularly in the cities. Our elect children may pray for our protecting hand and miracles in their lives, like you experienced last night. We will bless and guide our faithful elect. Some may even lose all their possessions, but we will bless them as they put their faith in us, their Gods.

You may rebuild if you desire, for you have the resources to do so. Some of our elect will just need to fully rely on our mercy and blessings, for they will have nothing. However, they are precious to us, and we will shape and guide them as they come unto us, their Gods, and learn to listen to our still small voice. One day all of our elect will be in Zion and have great blessings, even more than they are able to receive.'

Heavenly Mother then spoke: 'Raphael, I too am sorry for the destruction of your property. Things like this happen occasionally, for we make the sun rise on the evil and the good, and send rain on the just and the unjust (Matthew 5:45). Both good and bad happen to all people at different times in the telestial world in which you now live. This is the way we have planned it for this mortal realm.

However, we do favor the righteous (1 Nephi 17:35) even though great difficulties may come into their lives. The destruction of your outbuilding can be replaced, and will soon be a thing of the past. However, your house and loved ones are safe and protected, for which we know you are very grateful.'"

Matthew 5:48
48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

99B2-99B7, from Heavenly Mother: "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.'"

Matthew 6:1-4
1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.

2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:

4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.

Tue, Apr 23, 2013
There is greater power in doing acts of service, including healing, when done in secret. Humility is important, and trying to keep anonymity (see verse 3). Heavenly Father sees in secret and will reward openly. When healing, make sure that a good portion of those you seek to heal are done without a fee, and only done in love and in secret if possible.

______________________________

Matthew 6:4
4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.

7A2-7A4: "I felt I received inspiration on how I should do all these Complete Healings I would be doing from now on, starting tomorrow, 9-1-2015: I felt I should act incognito in all my healing service (unless I felt specifically otherwise). I felt clearly that it is proper and well with God that I NOT tell who healed the person, or assisted in the Complete Healing. This should all be done anonymously. It is pleasing to Heavenly Father for me to be behind the scenes, acting incognito, not telling or discussing even the healing, for that might draw more attention to me, the healing angel, and not to God to whom it should all go anyway.

I also felt that by healing in secret, this will also give me the confidence and trust of Heavenly Father, Heavenly Mother and Jesus, and that they will then give me more of their power to heal. Since I have no hidden motive to aggrandize myself, this too will give them more motivation to pour out healing power upon me too. I have three months left to really practice Complete Healings, now in private and secret, before I have been promised unlimited capability to do Complete Healings.

Starting today, no more word going out on whom I worked on or when they should be healed. Our work as healing angels is to be in secret, following the admonition of Jesus:
"That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly." (Matthew 6:4).

My healing work will now be hidden, even disguised, if needed, out of view so that the glory rightfully goes to the Father, not to man or even a healing angel."

6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

Tue, Apr 23, 2013
Prayer is very important when seeking to heal someone. If done in secret, or with the person, but not out in the open, the Father will reward us openly.

______________________________

Matthew 6:8
8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.

Tue, Apr 23, 2013
When we pray, we seek to know the Father's will, so that we can pray for that specific thing. Pray with intuition and openness to promptings. He will prompt us for what healing we should do for the person we are trying to bless or heal through his power.

______________________________

Matthew 6:22-23
22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.

23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!

Tue, Apr 23, 2013
You can see in the eyes the needs of the body. When healing, bring light into the body in all ways possible. All light come through Jesus Christ. We should assist in infusing light into the person we seek to heal by our intention to bring the light into them. As we have that prayer, Jesus will bring in the light, the healing light which is so important in healing.

Matthew 6:26-30
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?

27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?

28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

30 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?

138G5-138G11, from Heavenly Mother: "She spoke in my thoughts: 'Raphael, we love our children more than they can imagine! Love means caring, nurturing, actively helping and watching out for them, and guiding them in areas that would bring them each their greatest growth and happiness. We know all things about them, more than they know themselves, for they cannot see their own past or future as can we.

Jesus Christ said this about our creations:

Matthew 6:26-30-

"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?

Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?

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 clothes 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?"

We watch over our children and provide for their needs. However, we allow the rigors and consequences of mortality to come upon all, and do not always bail out our children in distressful conditions. We do all things we do for the benefit of our beloved children.

Satan rages on the earth and through his efforts persuades men and women to hurt and harm each other. Evil flourishes in your world now and causes great misery, suffering, and death. We allow evil to flourish to a point and then we will destroy the wicked to bring in a beautiful millennial era of peace. In this process there will be much tribulation upon the world, much fear and privations. We will allow these times of stress to come upon all so that we might prove our children and allow all to choose by their own agency whom they list to obey and follow.

Alma 41:10-11

"...Behold, I say unto you, wickedness never was happiness.

And now, my son, all men that are in a state of nature, or I would say, in a carnal state, are in the gall of bitterness and in the bonds of iniquity; they are without God in the world, and they have gone contrary to the nature of happiness."

As our children on earth come to us, their Gods, in the humility of their souls, with open hearts and minds, we will lead them to a better place and provide abundantly for their wants and needs, as we are able. We care for and watch over those who seek us diligently. We give to them who ask of us, and will lead them beside still waters, that they might be comforted and feel of our love (see Psalms 23:2).

Our children come to earth with many weaknesses of the flesh and of their heritage. It is often not the best of situations in mortality, for if it were how could we see how they really act and whom they really choose to obey? There are hard times in the lives of all of our children at different times , and we watch them in these critical junctures. We extend to those who reach out to us in faith and yearning. We will guide all who allow us to, and who choose us over the temptations of the flesh and of that evil one.'"

139G8-139G14: "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.'"

Tue, Apr 23, 2013
Sometimes in our healing efforts, we "toil and spin" too much, when it would be much better to rely on God who heals. Healing methods of men pale in comparison to God's way of healing.

Matthew 7:1-4
1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.

2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

Tue, Apr 23, 2013
You cannot judge a person because you do not know what they are required to carry, because of generational issues, their upbringing, their unique weaknesses they have been given in mortality, etc. Instead, we need to accept them and love them. This will do so much more than any judging you may feel inclined to do. You must have pure motives. Seek to see them as God sees them: as one of his choice children whom he loves.

______________________________

Matthew 7:3-5
3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

85F13-85F14, from Heavenly Mother: "People may lie to you, or seek to manipulate and trick you in your life. When you become aware that they are doing this, you are still able to hold off your judgments on them. Whether you continue to judge them or not will generally not stop their behavior. It is best to just accept them how they are, with no judgments on their behavior except how you might be directly affected. When you accept people with poor habits and intentions, you don't condone their behavior. You accept them as one of your brothers and sisters, living a mortal life and dealing with the weaknesses of the flesh. This attitude is one of love, which they will generally feel. When you withhold judgments, thinking of your own weaknesses and foibles, they sense your attitude. In this state of being loved and accepted, they then are more free to deal with their own weaknesses, and have the greatest possibility to change for the better. If you judge them, they are less likely to change, but to stay in their own poor habits and sin. Withholding judgment of your brother or sister takes personal maturity and effort, particularly at first.

We should be careful with our gifts, to follow the Spirit always. He will guide us away from all forms of entrapment and those who we should stay away from.

Matthew 7:7-11
7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?

10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?

11 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?

170K8-170K14, from Heavenly Father: "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.'"

______________________________

Matthew 7:9-11
9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?

10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?

11 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?

85D7, from Heavenly Father: "Raphael, we know how to lovingly guide and direct our children. However, they need to ask of us directly for our guidance in their lives.

You were remarking with your wife last night how your youngest daughter was going to do whatever she wanted to do, despite your feelings that she was making poor choices. You said that she was an adult now and would choose her own path and actions. You said the best mindset and actions for you are to accept her and love her, regardless of her choices.

Similarly, we have no control over our children who come to your telestial mortal earth, unless they ask of us and desire our directions. We have learned that they will do as they wish since they are fully responsible and have their moral agency. We love and accept them however they choose to live. We will guide those who openly and sincerely come unto us, their God.'"

Matthew 7:13-14
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Tue, Apr 23, 2013
In the healing arts, the strait gate, the narrowness of the way, is to emulate the Savior Jesus Christ in your actions; to show love, give light, have compassion, serve unselfishly, think of their needs not your own. Other ways of trying to heal can lead to the dark arts, or be in Satan's territory (leading to destruction). Align yourself fully with God and his ways, and you will be numbered with the few that find it.

Matthew 7:15-20
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

Thu, Nov 16, 2023
False prophets are in every area and profession. In the healing arts you can detect them by their fruits: do they bring peace, love, light, make one seek to praise God, make one a better person? Stay away from those who seem dark and mystical, who use entrapment to lure you in with easy or dark ways. Only seek the good fruits of the Spirit. Jesus and the Holy Ghost will lead you to all truth.

88D2-88D6: "Heavenly Mother asked me to write her words:

'Raphael, you took some pictures yesterday of beautiful mountain flowers and berries. You knew that some were sweet and edible like the thimbleberries. You also saw lots of baneberries whose beautiful berries are very poisonous to people. The ripe berries of each are deep red.

Sometimes our children appear sweet and very nice to their brothers and sisters. However, they have ulterior hidden motives to trick or manipulate the hearts of other to their own purposes. Baneberry is a berry that may cause cardiac arrest if eaten, and perhaps death. These manipulative people play with the hearts of our children, with insincerity and manipulation. They too guise as friendly, but inwardly are very dangerous. We know the minds and hearts of all of our children. However, you generally don't know if they have hidden motives where they could gain your confidence and favor, and then abandon you when you have met their selfish needs.

I tell you this, Raphael, because there are those whom you will meet that are like the baneberry, who seem so interested in you and seem so very nice. You can tell by their fruits, or by their past, if they are genuine:

Matthew 7:15-20

"Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them."

Some of our children will pose as sincere friends to you. They will be warm and seem genuine. Look to their past deeds to see if they are truly your friend. Betrayal is extremely hurtful and abandonment may have lasting pain. Be careful in trusting those with whom you have only recently become acquainted with.

I say these words for your sake and for all of the elect. Satan will seek to dissuade you in your great work by influencing some others who will try to manipulate you for their selfish purposes. Some will be inspired by the adversary who tricks and tempts them.

Finally, call upon us, your Heavenly Parents, to confirm the true intentions and hearts of all men and women. As you approach us in humility and sincerity, we will lead you along. Your experience with these toxic people will strengthen you to be more aware of the hearts of all of our children you may meet.

When Our Beloved Son approves the elect to enter into the Church of the Firstborn, he has witnessed their behavior over their lifetime. He sees how they act under many circumstances, and how responsive they are to our gentle promptings. They are thoroughly tested, proven and refined. He has successfully cleansed their souls, and by their desires they have aligned themselves to our standards of humility, obedience to our gentle promptings, and the vast array of Christian virtues. It is over a lifetime that we watch and evaluate our children in the flesh, in their mortal state. We lead them gently, those who will follow us, until we have fully proven them in all things. These are our elect. There are no deceivers or manipulators among them.'

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for this warning! I know I sometimes am too trusting of others. I need to gradually build relationships based on experience and trust over many interactions. For those who have a history of manipulation, I need to always be on guard so I am not tricked again. I have one person like this that I think of in my own family. My trust level is very low, but my interactions with her are frequent. It is hard not to relax my guard around her. However, the message of today is to be wary of such and to keep my confidences. I need to continually check her actions since I don't trust her so much.

I feel that this message from Heavenly Mother was for those, too, who may read my journal entry today. We all need to learn how to navigate with toxic people in our lives. Some we may be able to help change, but we need to be careful not to get stung in the process. We need to exercise good mental control of our thoughts and feelings so we are not too adversely affected by the behaviors of others, even of family and friends.

Heavenly Mother next smiled at me and then vanished. Her message was clear to me. I will follow God's ever-gentle guidance in my life, and try the hearts of men and women I meet until they are approved as the elect of God. Once approved, I then will have no worries or reservations on the intentions of their hearts. I closed my prayer and started my day."

180G1-180G9: "We read from Helaman chapter 14 yesterday in our family scripture study about Samuel the Lamanite's great prophecy of a day and a night and a day that would be as if two days and no night would come (see Helaman 14:4). This was a great sign of the birth of Jesus Christ. Many thought Samuel and those who followed or believed him were religious delusionals.

Last night my wife told me about a Harvard bulletin she received by email on mental health about the story of a modern musical delusional person who heard compelling voices. I wondered afterwards if I was a delusional of sorts. However, it is my desire to be an ordinary man, and not be in the position that God has called me to. There are significant witnesses also that attest to what I have received to be true.

The feeling I have now is to wait and see, to relax and watch for these prophesied events to come to pass. Then I will be certain that I am not a religious delusional.

All of the prophets have been accused by some of the people to be delusionals or false prophets. Jesus said we can tell by their fruits, and if what they say comes to pass (see Matthew 7:15-20).

I will therefore think on these things, continue what I have committed to do, and watch and behold the glory of God coming in power even as has been revealed to me by my Heavenly Parents. I have a task ahead of me to get all of my Raphael records offline, and that is what I will pursue. I will be obedient to all the counsels and directions I feel my Gods direct me to do. I will as, Heavenly Mother told me on 12-1-2020, relax, have fun in enjoyable diversity, and seek to keep yourself balanced mentally and emotionally." I will seek to be comforted by God, and to recognize their hand in all things.

I prayed this morning to my Heavenly Mother at the top of the switchback path in God's Loving Healing Center on the celestial orb. Heavenly Mother came, I felt her presence, but she said nothing. I felt her light and acceptance of me. I feel what I am doing is right and what I should be diligently working on now. I have made steady progress on the stand alone digital Raphael files. I feel confirmed what I have written is of God.

I like what Moroni said in his last chapter in the Book of Mormon. He was alone and soon to bury the plates to be found many centuries later.

Moroni 10:7

"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 he worketh by power, according to the faith of the children of men, the same today and tomorrow and forever."

I received this email from S.A. later on 12-8-2020 that relates to my comments above. I felt I should share it:

". . . S and I were discussing your recent entry about delusion. We concluded that the fruits of all we have prayed about and confirmed and believed in have been good fruits. We too will sit back, wait and watch. We feel there is no other way, for believing in all these things is what is being true to ourselves.

Have a wonderful week!

Warmly,
S.A.""

22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Tue, Apr 23, 2013
Be careful of those who seek to lead you with their position, rank or following protocol, or who only do what their leaders and the handbook tell them to do. Instead, get to know the Savior now, feel his love, act as he would act, and love as he would love. Pray in faith for openness to his direction, and be not afraid of his revelations to you personally. Worship God with humility and openness and you will come to know him and to have his countenance in you. You will be received into his kingdom because you know him, and you act like him.

26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand

Tue, Apr 23, 2013
Ground yourself energetically on a firm foundation, on Christ. Also ground yourself to the earth which was designed to take away your unwanted energies that are not serving you. Be well-balanced, and strong like the house built upon the rock. Seek the Lord and to continually do his will, not your own, and you will never fall, or ever have a sandy foundation.

Matthew 8:2-4
2 And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

3 And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

4 And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

Tue, Apr 23, 2013
Jesus healed and cleansed the leper. He wanted to remain anonymous, to do his act in secret. We should seek to do likewise whenever we can.

In addition, Jesus wanted to, nonetheless, follow the procedures of the church at the time, and even though there was apostasy in the ranks of the church at the highest levels, he recognized and respected their positions. He wasn't, however, constrained by their norms and additions to the law of the time that were additions of men. He brought new light and love into the world. Likewise, we should not be afraid to bring in newness and life into our circle of influence. We should be open and accept the promptings and revelations of God to us, rejoicing as this leper must have rejoiced by becoming cleansed.

Matthew 8:6-13
6 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.

7 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.

8 The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.

9 For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.

10 When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.

11 And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.

12 But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

13 And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour.

Tue, Apr 23, 2013
In this healing, Jesus did remote healing on the centurion's servant. The faith of the centurion was very large. The belief of the centurion was sufficient to heal by the power in Christ. Likewise, in our efforts to heal, we need to be positive, be believing, and full of hope and faith. In the due time of the Lord, healing will occur if it his will. We should await the word of of the Lord, like this centurion, and believe that the person we seek to have healed will be healed according to the voice of the Lord that we are prompted by.

Matthew 8:14-15
14 And when Jesus was come into Peter’s house, he saw his wife’s mother laid, and sick of a fever.

15 And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them.

Tue, Apr 23, 2013
Jesus healed in many ways, some, like this, were done by a simple touch of the hand. We should not feel constrained by any certain method, but be open to promptings and ways by which the Lord directs us to heal.

______________________________

Matthew 8:16
16 When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick:

Tue, Apr 23, 2013
Casting out evil spirits helps the body heal. They hamper our progression, and stifle the part of the body they are lodged in so it doesn't grow or heal or cleanse properly. Over time, it becomes an irritant and can be the cause of disease in people, or weakness, whether emotionally, physically, spiritually or mentally. Sometimes healing does not involve casting out spirits, but healing sickness.

______________________________

Matthew 8:17
17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.

Tue, Apr 23, 2013
Part of Christ's atonement involves healing us of our infirmities and sicknesses, not just our sins. This can be actively called upon during mortality as a healing balm. We are allowed to plead, in prayer, that the healing power of Christ's atonement be applied in the now and present, not just in the resurrection or some other future time.

______________________________

Matthew 8:28-29
28 And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.

29 And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?

Tue, Apr 23, 2013
In this healing, multiple devlis possessed the two men. They recognized Jesus as the son of God, with the power to cast them out. Likewise, when we find an unclean spirit, either a devil or an disembodied spirit that has taken residence in a person, if we have Christ at our shoulder, or backing us up, we will also have the power of Christ to cast out those entities. Of ourselves, we are powerless; with Christ, all things like this are possible.

______________________________

Matthew 8:31-32
31 So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.

32 And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.

Tue, Apr 23, 2013
Sometimes we might be able to communicate with the entities in a person. We can tell them to depart, like Christ told these false spirits. Generally, we send them to the light and move them on their way out of the person. Sometimes these are hard to detect, but all can be removed through the power of Jesus Christ.

Matthew 9:2
2 And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.

166D7-166D24: "I then stood next to Jesus Christ who was on my right side! I was dressed in my angel vestures, and he was in his normal exalted celestial robes. He smiled at me and spoke:

'Raphael, good morning! We are now in a vision of my past, and will be among the people in Capernaum after I had called most of my apostles. These and many others will be following me through my city, even Capernaum, that we will visit soon.

I am showing this to you to show you how ordinary life was back then, and how I carried the Spirit given me from my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother. You too will carry this same Spirit in all of your ministrations. Seek for this in mighty prayer. This is the medium by which you will receive your direction and guidance in all you do. Once you are sure your direction comes from God, then act in faith and you too will carry this same Spirit in abundance. Act in humility and love, even as you will see me act in this vision, for this brings the Spirit more quickly and in more power.

Come, follow me now as we walk the road into the city. It is early here and the market place has just opened.'

I walked by the side of Jesus as we went into Capernaum. We were wearing sandals on the road and the dust was coming on our feet.

I was, however, still in my angel robes, but wearing sandals of the time period. I know that we wouldn't be seen, for we were in the celestial realms. As we were walking I remembered I hadn't yet read from Matthew chapter 9 as Jesus had asked I do. I then pulled up my phone back in my recliner in my private room, and read this chapter.

I then came back with Jesus in my mind. We were in the city, and I saw Jesus with his disciples, and many people thronging around him. My guide Jesus then suggested we go in the air, and observe from above this scene. We then both came a little above the crowd, and had a good view of Jesus in his ministries that morning.

Matthew 9:2-"And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee."

I saw this same man brought by two others on a makeshift stretcher. They made their way through the crowds until they reached Jesus. The man on the stretcher was shaking. Jesus had been sitting down in the marketplace, and then stood and spoke to the man sick of the palsy, just like Matthew had recorded. There were others around that also heard, and spoke in whispers among themselves: "This man blasphemes, for only God can forgive sins!" (see Matthew 9:3).

Jesus then turned and looked at them behind him, and knew their thoughts, for he spoke to them,

"For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise and walk?

But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins," he then turned to the sick man and spoke, "Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house." (see Matthew 9:3-6)

I viewed and heard Jesus speak words like these in the scriptures above.

The man with the palsy stopped shaking, and Jesus reached forth and took him by his hand. He sat up, and Jesus helped him to his feet and he stood, crying for joy. He then looked around, and Jesus took the stretcher on the ground, picked it up and gave it to him. He then smiled broadly, thanked Jesus and turned and walked away with those who had brought him before Jesus.

Jesus turned and looked at the scribes who were seeming astonished. They too then stepped away into the crowd.

My guide Jesus then spoke:

'Raphael, notice that when I healed the man sick of the palsy, I did no fanfare, but straightway and humbly healed him, even by the power that my Heavenly Parents had given me. I knew that they wanted me to heal him, for thus had the Spirit whispered to me. I acted immediately in faith and in love, extending healing to the man who was sick. I encouraged him to have faith, by reaching out to him and helping him stand.

Whenever you or our healing angels bless others in a like manner with healing, act in humble and faithful manner, and be believing. There will come a time in your mortal life when you and our mortal healing angels will start to heal people in distress and great need around you. Follow my example, and you will have success with full healing of the sick and afflicted.'

We then saw the mortal Jesus walking down the street of Capernaum, with many people around, following him and pressing on him. The disciples held back the crowds as best they could.

Soon they came to a booth of some kind. I perceived Matthew, the tax collector, was within when Jesus came up to the booth. Matthew walked out of his booth and came before Jesus, and knelt before him. Jesus spoke: 'Come Matthew, and follow me!' Matthew arose and put a bag from his pocket into the booth to the others there. He said to them he would no longer be working there, but would follow the Messiah, even Jesus, who was waiting.

Matthew turned and came to Jesus who smiled on him. He spoke again: 'Come, follow me.'

Matthew then continued with the other disciples of Jesus through the streets."

Matthew 9:2-7
2 And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.

3 And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth.

4 And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?

5 For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk?

6 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.

7 And he arose, and departed to his house.

Tue, Apr 23, 2013
When a person is cleansed from sickness, there is an effect upon them of being spiritually cleansed as well. Jesus equates it with forgiving sins. Although we don't have power to forgive sins, we may operate the power of healing, and the Lord may extend to that person healing from their sins as well. We might feel inclined to encourage them to seek the Lord to be cleansed in spiritual ways too.

Matthew 9:9
9 And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.

Tue, Apr 23, 2013
Jesus might call you to do a work, even though you are involved in worldly activities. He called Matthew from a profession the Jews hated. Matthew had great powers given him. In a similar way, the Savior can extend to us new direction, a change in our mission, or how we should exercise our gifts in building Zion. Obedience to the Lord, as Matthew did, brings great rewards.

______________________________

Matthew 9:12
12 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.

Tue, Apr 23, 2013
Our mission as healers is to minister to the sick, those who are not whole, who need the touch of the master physician in their lives. What a privilege it is to serve with the master in this great work! It is through Christ and our Heavenly Father and their healing powers that we are made whole.

______________________________

Matthew 9:18-26
18 While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.

19 And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples.

20 And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment:

21 For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.

22 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.

23 And when Jesus came into the ruler’s house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise,

24 He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.

25 But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose.

26 And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.

166D25-166D38: "Jesus, my guide, again spoke to me of the dedicated single mindedness that his servants need in this great work of saving the elect. He then said:

'Raphael, we will see one more scene from Matthew 9:18-26.

At that moment, I saw a richly dressed man come into the crowd and make his way to Jesus. He came before Jesus on bended knee and spoke:

'Master, my daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.'

Jesus seemed to marvel at the man's faith, and said so to those around him. He then followed the rich man down the street.

I saw then a frail woman press through the crowd ahead of where Jesus was walking. As Jesus passed, she reached out and touched the hem of his robe. I then saw Jesus stop and turn, and finding her said, just as it reads in the Bible: "Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole." (Matthew 9:22). The woman stood and then followed Jesus, his disciples, and the crowds.

The rich man was still leading Jesus and the throng. Soon they came to his residence, and he opened the door for Jesus. Jesus came in and left the door open. He waved for his close disciples to come with him.

When inside, my guide Jesus and I also walked through the door, even though it had now been shut. We came to the top corner of the room where the dead child lay.

The mortal Jesus then asked the ruler to make all those in the room who were mourners to leave. Only he, his wife and four disciples were in the room with Jesus and the dead child on the bed.

Jesus then knelt by the bed, took the girl by her hand, and spoke: 'Arise'. She opened her eyes and sat up in bed. He helped her out of bed and led her to her parents who embraced their daughter in tears of joy and shock.

Jesus, my guide, then spoke to me:

'Raphael, when you heal, make sure that you do so with no fanfare or without lots of commotion around. This sacred gift of healing is to be done in reverence and in quietness, in humility and yet in great faith and trust in God. God will provide for you the healing, and you will be the conduit of God's power. Never bring attention to yourself in any of your healings, but act in quietness and in peace, returning thanks to God.

Raphael, this concludes your visions of my early ministry for now. I have shown you these things because our Father and Mother in heaven had asked it of me. You are highly blessed, Raphael, to have seen such things of my mortal ministry! May you reflect upon these visions throughout your future life, and then follow my example.'

Jesus then told me to look up from my healing seer stone to conclude this vision. He said he loved me, and would come whenever I might need him.

I thanked him abundantly for his visits. I said I would remember these visions throughout my life.

I then looked up from my stone and found myself writing this account in my home. I then prayed in my mind and heart to confirm it was all true, and happened as I wrote.

I then heard the voice of my Heavenly Mother in my thoughts saying these words: 'Raphael, you actually saw Jesus, our Beloved Son, who was your guide through these visions of his early mortal ministry. You have written a true account of what you beheld and heard in your unconscious mind, in your celestial translated body.'"

Matthew 9:20-22
20 And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment:

21 For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.

22 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.

Tue, Apr 23, 2013
The faith of the person to be healed is very important, as shown in the healing of the woman diseased with the issue of blood. Her intention and faith was all important to get the attention of the master healer. In the same way, as we exhibit faith to be healed, we too will gain the attention of the master healer. He too will heal us.

Matthew 9:23-24
23 And when Jesus came into the ruler’s house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise,

24 He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.

Tue, Apr 23, 2013
The outside world does not know about the power of God's healing, even for those who are dead as was this maid of the ruler. We too need to put out the world from our lives, and move away from those who ridicule and think we are silly or out of the way. We heal with the believers, that is the way it has always been.

______________________________

Matthew 9:27-33
27 And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us.

28 And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord.

29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.

30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it.

31 But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country.

32 As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil.

33 And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.

Tue, Apr 23, 2013
Two items to learn here: 1) the blind men believed, and they were healed. Without belief in Christ's healing, they would most likely not have been healed. 2) These men had weakness, such as not obeying the Savior in helping him be anonymous. Similarly, we don't have to be perfect to be healed, only believe.

______________________________

Matthew 9:35-38
35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.

36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.

37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;

38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.

Tue, Apr 23, 2013
A major part of Christ's ministry was healing. He was moved with compassion for the people. When we have love and compassion, this opens the way for healing. If we are to serve like Jesus, we need love and compassion as the core of our healing efforts. He calls to us to be a laborer, that we might minister as he ministered to the people. Working in the healing arts, and emulating the Savior in our efforts, is a great thing. We become his disciples when we seek to heal as he heals, and we are his faithful servants when we solicit him in all of our healing efforts.

Matthew 10:1
1 And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.

Tue, Apr 23, 2013
Jesus does not keep his healing power to himself, but gives it to his disciples and apostles. The Twelve were given power against unclean spirits and to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and disease. He gives this power, I believe, to not just those of his priesthood, but also to women who exercise their gifts of healing they developed in the premortal life.

______________________________

Matthew 10:8
8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.

Wed, Apr 24, 2013
Here is what healers do: heal the sick, cleanse people of illness, raise the dead (wow!), cast out false spirits. All this is done for our well-being and happiness. Freely give, meaning there should be, for those who do it for employment, at least some free services I believe.

______________________________

Matthew 10:16
16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

Wed, Apr 24, 2013
We should be careful and wise in our efforts, for there are evil people who wish to entrap, etc. We should be harmless, never have revenge, be harsh, rude, or anything related to a sinful or evil state.

Matthew 10:35-39
35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

36 And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household.

37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.

39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.

80B1-80B11: "This morning after I awoke I came directly into our adjacent room. I went right to the premortal chapel in the temple and my Heavenly Parents were standing there exactly where they had been the night before! I gazed into their faces and knew them. Heavenly Mother asked me to write what she would say to me:

'Raphael, I wish to speak to you about the propensities of our children and of opposition. When we chose the intelligences to become our children, we could tell those who would become exalted, even from the beginning. This we knew because of our foresight. We also knew who had propensities to turn away and choose their own path and not be obedient to our commandments.

Had we only chosen those who would be the elect of God, they wouldn't have been able to develop the strength of thinking on their own amongst only those who followed us. They needed opposition in all things to create the godly character and personality required to become even as we are.

Therefore, from the beginning, we chose intelligences whom we knew would fall away from our plan of happiness. These would tempt and test our elect, even some becoming Lucifer and his minions. For without these, our elect who would keep our commandments in all things, would not gain strength to choose the right. They had to be amongst a group of our children who would seek to persuade them to be carnal, sensual and devilish.

We chose the correct ratio of those who would become wicked, of their own free will and choice, versus those who would rise to the top in their struggles and become fully obedient. The entire molding of our obedient children required constant opposition. For how could they choose the good without being tempted and exposed to the evil?

2 Nephi 2:11–

"For it must needs be that there is an opposition in all things. If not so, my firstborn in the wilderness, righteousness could not be brought to pass, neither wickedness, neither holiness, nor misery, neither good nor bad. Wherefore all things must needs be a compound in one; wherefore, if it should be one body it must needs remain as dead, having no life neither death, nor corruption nor incorruption, happiness nor misery, neither sense nor insensibility."

This means that had I birthed only the intelligences who we knew would become like us and be fully obedient, they would not have gained the strength from opposition to be faithful. They would have experienced neither lasting happiness or experienced misery. Their character and personality would have not been tested and refined in the furnace of affliction.

2 Nephi 2:12–

"Wherefore, it must needs have been created for a thing of naught; wherefore there would have been no purpose in the end of its creation. Wherefore, this thing must needs destroy the wisdom of God, and his eternal purposes, and also the power, and mercy, and the justice of God."

Raphael, we orchestrated opposition in all things from the beginning in order to form and mold our elect who one day would emerge as Gods as we are. There would also be many more in number who would not become Gods, but would have been given every opportunity to be as happy and righteous as they chose to be.

We placed Judas in the original twelve apostles of Jesus Christ, and we have chosen leaders also in the current LDS Church, some whom we knew would also turn away from us. This these did of their own choice and not by our decisions in any way. However, in these trying circumstances for our elect, we orchestrated a situation to refine our elect to become stronger and more dependent upon us, their God. The elect couldn't make it back to our celestial realms by following the crowd–they had to do it on their own volition and choice. It would be difficult, and need to be of such high importance to them to leave religion, habits, traditions and even loved ones to make their trek back to us, their God.

Matthew 10:37-39–

"He that loveth father or mother more than us is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.

He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it."

Raphael, each one who receives their exaltation goes through the fire of affliction in order to be refined and purified, in order to develop the character and personality of a God. The shaping of our obedient is only possible with opposition. Be glad you have lots of struggles in life that have helped shape you as you chose to follow us, your God!'

I deeply thanked my Heavenly Mother for the insights I received from her words this morning! I am grateful for opposition and struggles, for without these I couldn't grow and progress. I am so glad to also have my free-will choice."

93A2-93A7, from Heavenly Father: "He then spoke:

'Raphael, the oak tree in the corner of my wheat field is a place I often go to relax from my labors in my fields. It is one of my favorite places! I can look over my field while I relax under its canopy, thinking of the plentiful harvest of my wheat when it grows tall and ripe.

I have chosen to plant this oak tree since its wood is so very strong and durable. I am continually watching over my field from my oak tree. Your Heavenly Mother and I continually care for and do all we can to lead and direct our elect who are growing. These grow in their mortal life on earth. They cannot see us, for we speak to them in their unconscious mind. We whisper directions and seek to lead them in persuading ways. Our elect hear our voice and keep our commandments!'

Heavenly Father then turned to me and touched me with his right hand on my forehead. He then told me to look over his wheat field, which represents the current elect in mortality. As I looked on each blade of wheat, I saw an individual in my mind, which was represented by the wheat plant in this field! I saw them in their life, living mostly in our modern society in the world. They were of all ages, but accountable and free to choose their path in life. Some were burdened with many 'should beliefs' that weighed them down. Most were subjugated by others, either in family circles and traditions, in religious circles, and by the culture or society restraints. I saw that each of these elect would struggle to hear the voice of God as opposed to some constraint or practice or pattern they had learned to date in their mortal life. I saw that this struggle would be difficult for most of them! It would cause many to dismiss the tender and gentle voice of God who speaks to them frequently, trying to lead them to be obedient to God's voice within them.

I saw that two of the most needed traits for the elect would be to be very open and then to be very discerning of the voice of God.

I saw a time in the near future when the mortal world of these elect would become very difficult. I saw many crying out to God for help in the future, and then finally taking time in meditation to seek the direction from God. This happened differently with every person I saw. I saw that there was one event usually in each life of the elect that was a turning point where they rejected some norm of their previous life to date in order to obey the voice of God. I saw they needed to put obedience to God first in their life, more than other paths they might choose. For many, this was the hardest decision or time of their life!

I then turned to my Heavenly Father who had been watching me while I was looking at the wheat. He then spoke:

'Raphael, each of our elect will be tested to ensure that they are worthy of us, and will need to put us in front of their other voices from family, friends, religion, or the society in which they live. We will abundantly bless each one who chooses our ways and us! These are heirs of our Church of the Firstborn. Oh, we love our elect!'

I then was immediately back in my front room, writing all of what had happened in my journal. I remembered then the very difficult time I had during my "gethsemane" experience in the fall of 2012. It was so hard, and I cried out to God for help. I listened and was led, step-by-step, until I came to my experience in April 2013 during the energy class when I saw so clearly my Heavenly Parents and Jesus Christ. I feel so glad for these experiences! I am where I am today because I was guided step-by-step, was very open, and placed God first in my life.

I thanked my Heavenly Father in prayer for this choice experience I had in my prayer tonight, all in my unconscious mind. I confirmed this all happened as I have written.

I remember the scripture spoken by the Savior in Matthew 10:37-39:

"He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.

He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it."

What Heavenly Father spoke to me tonight and what I was shown is exactly what Jesus Christ was talking about in this scripture. God needs to be our first priority in our life and we need to have courage and action to follow their voice to our soul. We then will become worthy of them as we continue to follow their gentle promptings."

121F8-121F10, from Heavenly Mother: "When you went with your wife to the dance last Saturday night, your wife instructed the group on an old Danish round dance. The older people were having great difficulty learning new steps and a new dance. However, the youth there learned quickly, for they were malleable and could adjust to new patterns of movement.

In your day now on the earth, our elect need to learn new ways of thinking and acting, just like the youth did in the new dance they learned last Saturday. Our elect need to drop their old normal routines of thinking, of blindly following their religious leaders and patterns of prayer and worship. All of our elect need to learn from our spirit our new ways of acting, for their old mindsets they had no longer will serve them. As our new revelations stream into their unconscious minds, we desire they courageously become the true followers of their inner soul and our spirit. This change will not be an easy adjustment, but will be necessary for them to become spiritually prepared to come to Zion. Those who are set in their ways will have the most difficulty changing. They may often be confronted with old standards and beliefs, held and promoted by well-meaning family members, friends and associations that will make their actions very difficult.

Matthew 10:36-39–"And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.

He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.""

131F14-131F16: "Heavenly Father spoke to me: 'Raphael, we sent our beloved spirit children to their earth in so many different conditions and times, that the experience of one is quite diverse from the experience from another. The cultural variations are very different and help form our children's views of life. They also are given weaknesses of the flesh from their own families and the times they live in. Some nations and situations are more righteous and promote strong values of honesty, integrity and moral decency. Others may be very liberal or under the grasp of the adversary who wishes to subvert wholesome relationships in families and thus leads our children in perverse paths.

Even with all this great variation, a mortal experience for each of our children is sufficient for us to see how they act and respond to our spiritual promptings. We see if they heed our gentle guidance and seek us above the world and above the society they were born into. We can easily determine who are our elect children, regardless of what nation or clime they may live in. We love them all equally, and honor and bless those who follow our promptings and our Spirit. We have elect children in most every nation, community, race, and culture found in your world, or that has ever existed on your earth. We scatter the faithful amongst all families too, so that we may see how they respond to pressures of others in family, religion, and their society. Our faithful love us, their Heavenly Parents, above all others in their lives.

Matthew 10:37-39

"He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.

He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.""

Wed, Apr 24, 2013
When we give our life is service, we truly find it. When we act as the Savior, we will find true happiness and will find our life fulfilled. When we heal as he wants us to heal, being selfless, he will help us truly find ourselves.

Matthew 11:28-30
28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

29 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.

30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

25C7-25C11: "Heavenly Mother then descended to me with her banner and pole. The pole was twice her height, and the banner was limp and unfurled. She came in front of me and spoke:

'Raphael, place this banner and pole into the rock on Mount Zion.'

I answered: 'I will do so, my Divine Mother!' I noticed her long hair had been caught in the breeze, and was blowing to the east.

She returned to her place next to Heavenly Father. I moved to the recording book at the summit, and next to this book I inserted the pole vertically into the rock. It went easily into the rock: 6", 12", 18", then 24" and it stopped.

I then moved to my place next to my archangel sister and we all watched the pole and banner.

This pole started expanding and growing taller and wider, as did the banner. The pole grew from a 1" diameter pole to a 9" diameter pole, and 100 feet tall! The banner also grew. Soon all stopped expanding.

At that moment, a firm breeze came from the west, blowing eastward, catching the now glorious banner and blowing it straight eastward. It was glorious and very large!

I gazed at the banner, trying to read what was written on it. I could tell it was very bright, almost blindingly bright, becoming more and more brilliant!

I could see the banner was about 50 feet tall and 150 feet wide as it blew in the wind. Here is my sketch from my pocket journal I drew at the time:

Into my mind came a scripture, which I later found in Matthew 11:28–

'Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.'

I knew this was the message from Heavenly Mother! It was written on a brilliant white banner, shining and waving to the east in great glory."

60K7-60K12: "I knelt and raised my hands above my head, and called upon my Heavenly Parents to come. I lowered my hands and waited and observed.

In the distance, to my west towards the crashing hole in the ground where the river representing Jesus Christ enters, I saw two people walking towards me. I knew these were my Heavenly Parents!

They came soon before me and stood. I gazed into their loving faces. Their robes seemed a little disheveled and soiled by their recent rescue efforts in the rocky pit. Heavenly Father spoke:

'Raphael, we have been tirelessly working in the rocky pit where the river crashes into, located behind us. Your Mother and I love our elect so very much! If they call out to us, we come to their rescue. We have toillessly been helping rescue our elect from the dire situations they are finding themselves in, during their mortal probation.

You have listened to a video of an interview with Rabbi Harold Kushner last night. In the interview, he said he preferred believing in a God who was quick to bless his suffering children, and not in a God who brought them into terrible situations and trauma in life. We prefer to be recognized as rescuers of our suffering children, for that is what we constantly do. Hardships and difficulties come to our children by virtue of the mortal life in a fallen world they experience. This scripture is accurate about our role:'

"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28).

I thanked my Heavenly Father for all the abundant service they give us, their children.

I then turned and thanked my Heavenly Mother for her objective shield and blessing she gave me yesterday. I asked her if such a shield is also available for all who seek to rescue others of their children in this dark and difficult world. Heavenly Mother responded:

'For all of our gatherers and rescuers of our elect, we will grant to these who ask in the sincerity of their heart. They may come unto us, asking for a blessing of such a shield to protect them also. We love all who come unto us and for those who labor to rescue the elect of God.'

I thanked her for her kindness in extending this blessing to those who recue God's elect children."

75B6-75B7, from Heavenly Father: "These transitionary times will be difficult. They are coming fast and are at your doors.

We will watch over our elect we have selected and will continually seek to rescue and protect them! Oh, we love them, and yearn for them to individually come unto us, their loving Heavenly Parents. Hear the words of Our Beloved Son:

Come unto me, all ye that labour, and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
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." (Matthew 11:28-30)'"

107F7-107F9, from Heavenly Mother: "You are correct also in supposing that we have orchestrated times like you live in, within each eternity. These circumstances try the souls of our children, and give us plenty of situations that allow us to judge and then reward our children in the eternities. You are living in the very most difficult last days, just prior to the great day of the millennial peace and rest. We have also had similar times of peace where only the righteous are living in each of our previous eternities. We use this time to seal up our elect to come forth at the end of their eternity and to enter into their eternal rest and glory. We are always completely fair in rewarding our children for the level of happiness they were willing to receive.'

I saw my Heavenly Mother smile again! The love from her was remarkable as it filled me with comfort and acceptance. I felt so safe and desirous to do all she and Heavenly Father would direct me to do.

She then vanished. I saw the cloud on the oasis again become full of light and I heard this in my mind: 'Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of my Beloved Son, for he is meek and lowly in heart and ye shall find rest unto your souls.' (see Matthew 11:28-29)"

156B18-156B19: "My Mother broke the silence: 'Raphael, whenever you feel agitated, anxious, or fear, reflect on my visit this morning to you. You will then be able to receive again my comfort and peace. I will again fill you with my light and clarity of thought. I extend this same promise to all my angels and celestial mortal servant who seek my light.'

Matthew 11:28– "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." I remembered this message on the banner she had unfurled on Mount Zion (see my post 25C8 to 25C11)."

168L8-168L10: "When I came above the birch grove treetops, I immediately saw my Heavenly Parents before me, holding hands. Heavenly Mother immediately spoke: 'Raphael, our creations are vast and great! We have created millions and millions of eternities in our vast galaxy. Even with all of this, your current eternity is now, to your Heavenly Father and me, the very most important of all, and our elect living on the earth are now the very most important to us. We reach out in patience and love to each of our elect, hoping they will be open and receptive to our gentle guidance. When they respond as do you, we stay by their side and give them even more guidance.

This is our word now to all of our elect:

Matthew 11: 28-29

"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

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."

We will do our share in staying by our chosen elect in every time of need or trouble. We know how to succor our people in these days of tribulations, for we are mighty to save!'"

178J15-178J20: "Tonight I came to the fountain of living water. I felt very grateful for the great blessings I have to commune regularly with my Heavenly Parents. I knelt by the fountain and faced the nearby temple. I asked for my Heavenly Father to come to me.

He came from his highest celestial realm, and opened the veil and walked the few steps to me. He immediately spoke to me: 'Raphael, your Heavenly Mother and I want you to feel humble and very human, even as one of our lowliest children in mortality. We want you to relate to everyone of our beloved children, from the youngest to the oldest, and in all situations. We want you to have no pretense to be any better than any of our other children, for you are all mortal and all may receive equally our greatest blessings.

Remember our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, was born in the humblest of circumstances, and yet was our foreordained king and redeemer of all. Moses our great prophet was raised in the courts of Pharaoh and yet "was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth." (Numbers 12:3). We want you too to be very approachable and focused on the concerns and needs of our children with whom you will have contact.

It is by being meek and mild, humble and open that we may more abundantly pour out upon you our greatest blessings and revelations. Follow the example of our Son:

Mathew 11: 29

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.

My Heavenly Father then smiled and again asked me to be like his Beloved Son. He next stepped backwards and the veil closed around him, and he departed."

184H13-184H18, 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.'

Heavenly Mother smiled broadly and pulled me close to her, enveloping me fully in her light and love."

Matthew 12:24-28
24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.

25 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:

26 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?

27 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.

28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.

Wed, Apr 24, 2013
We cannot heal by the spirit of the devil, for the devil does not do good, and would not divide his house. All good comes from God, and if we heal, truly heal, it is always from God.

Matthew 12:31-32
31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.

32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

85I9-85I18, from Heavenly Mother: "Today I would like to talk to you about the topic of denying of the Holy Ghost, or the unpardonable sin. This is when one of my children receives a sure witness from me, from my role as the Holy Ghost, and unquestionably knows I inspired and witnessed to them. The witness of my spirit to their soul is the strongest our children can receive in the flesh. Since I am the Holy Ghost, when I witness to their soul, it is the witness of their loving Heavenly Mother, a love and a witness that they may trust and heed. If they turn away from me, their Heavenly Mother, and deny me, it is stating openly that I never gave them their witness in the first place. This is an egregious sin, and is not pardonable. They therefore deny all the gifts of good and love we may extend to them, even to the level of salvation that they would be willing to receive. If they deny me, they forgo any level of eternal happiness in a kingdom of glory, whether telestial, terrestrial or celestial. If they deny me, they forgo their eternal happiness in a kingdom of glory. The only place for them is a kingdom of no glory, which is eternal damnation.

There are some scriptures that speak of the denying of the Holy Ghost and that it is unpardonable:

Alma 39:6–

"For behold, if ye deny the Holy Ghost when it once has had place in you, and ye know that ye deny it, behold, this is a sin which is unpardonable; yea, and whosoever murdereth against the light and knowledge of God, it is not easy for him to obtain forgiveness; yea, I say unto you, my son, that it is not easy for him to obtain a forgiveness."

Matthew 12:31-32–

"Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.

And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come."

Luke 12:10–

"And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven."

D&C 76:35–

"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."

The interpretation of the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost as given in D&C 132:27 is the interpretation of man, and the last part of this verse is not accurate. It states receiving the new and everlasting covenant is required prior to the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost, which is not part of this issue:

D&C 132:27–

"The blasphemy against the Holy Ghost, which shall not be forgiven in the world nor out of the world, is in that ye commit murder wherein ye shed innocent blood, and assent unto my death, after ye have received my new and everlasting covenant, saith the Lord God; and he that abideth not this law can in nowise enter into my glory, but shall be damned, saith the Lord."

This interpretation is not congruent with Luke 12:10 which states that all sin against Jesus Christ may be forgiven, but the sin against the Holy Ghost or the blasphemy or denying of the sure witness once it has unquestionably been given, shall not be forgiven.

The sure witness of me, the Holy Ghost, is given by me to the very spirit and unconscious mind of my child who seeks me diligently. My spirit enters their spirit and witnesses to their very soul the truth of something. Along with this is a witness of God, even their Heavenly Mother, that they are a precious son or daughter to me. Later, if they reject me and my witness, and continue in the course of denial, they will be excluded from a kingdom of glory. They will then be given a kingdom of no glory where they are forever banished from God's presence, worlds without end. This is even the destiny of the Sons of Perdition.

See D&C 76:31-35–

"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—

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;

For they are vessels of wrath, doomed to suffer the wrath of God, with the devil and his angels in eternity;

Concerning whom I have said there is no forgiveness in this world nor in the world to come—

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."

When I am denied, and my child rejects my sure witness of the Holy Ghost, they also deny the atonement and the sacrifice of my Beloved Son Jesus Christ, who suffered for their sins. This denial is akin to mocking his sacrifice, and putting him to an open shame. If they were at the death of Jesus Christ, they too would crucify him afresh.

Raphael, this is my explanation of the unpardonable sin, or denying the Holy Ghost once it is received'

I thanked my loving Heavenly Mother for her great explanation. I have always been confused on this topic. It now makes better sense to me. I pray that I will continue to have my mind enlightened to understand fully the unpardonable sin, or the sin against the Holy Ghost."

Matthew 13:31-32
31 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:

32 Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.

108G13-108G18, from Heavenly Mother: "She spoke: 'Raphael, I love this mature fir forest in our celestial world. These trees have lived here through many eternities. They are so tall, stately and majestic!'

I thought Heavenly Mother had something in her right hand. Her hand was clasped to her side. I asked her if she had something in her hand? She extended her hand to me, and opened it up, palm upward. In her glowing hand I saw several very small round seeds. 'Raphael, these are tiny mustard seeds. Our Beloved Son spoke about the mustard seed in Matthew 13:31-32

"The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:

Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof."

Raphael, the kingdom of heaven is the world and kingdom that we are now in, in this celestial world. In the days ahead, you will introduce the kingdom of heaven to the earth for the first time. This will be in the construction of the New Jerusalem in your land. The area where the fountain of living water, the two trees of life, the New Jerusalem temple and the temple square area will all be a celestial area on the terrestrial earth. This will be our kingdom of heaven on the earth! Your Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and I will frequently come to our footstool, the earth, in this beautiful gateway into heaven.

Raphael, you are the man spoken of in the parable of Jesus. In the gardens to the east of the fountain of living water, you and I will plant these seeds as a memorial to the kingdom of heaven on the earth. These few mustard seeds will flourish and grow into a tall, bushy tree for our celestial birds to come and lodge in its branches. When fully grown, you will see why Jesus called this the greatest among herbs, or the largest.' Heavenly Mother extended her hand to mine, which I then also extended. She placed the few seeds into my hand. I drew them near and saw how tiny these were. 'Raphael, place these in your pocket, next to the apple I have given you previously. These seeds will remain there for you to retrieve when we plant them in the garden beds of the New Jerusalem together!' I thanked my Heavenly Mother for the celestial mustard seeds! I placed them in my pocket in my robe, next to the apple I had been given. The seeds disappeared in the bottom of the pocket."

Matthew 13:40-42
40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.

41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;

42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Thu, Dec 1, 2011
The meaning of the parable of the wheat and tares: the tares are gathered and then burned with fire. This will be the end of the major part of the wicked in America. Note that all things which offend (things and ways of Babylon, or the world) will be gathered out of His kingdom, the kingdom of the wheat, so that the saints will be all ready for the great marriage supper of the lamb.

Matthew 13:44-50
44 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.

45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:

46 Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:

48 Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.

49 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,

50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

142H12-142H13, from Heavenly Mother: "We love all of our children, even the wicked who reject us. We will allow the natural consequences to sever them from the gifts and blessings we will give to the righteous.

Your day again will have an entire separation of the righteous and the wicked. (See D&C 63: 54) This separation is now accelerating, and will end with my angels in plucking out the wicked and bringing them into the world of the dead that will be their consequence.""

Matthew 14:14
14 And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.

Wed, Apr 24, 2013
We too can feel the compassion of Jesus, and be moved to feel to heal the sick. Love is the greatest healer of the soul, and of sicknesses also. The body cannot keep the harmful evil spirits, even sickness, when there is abundance of the love of God poured into their souls.

______________________________

Matthew 14:27-31
27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.

28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.

29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.

30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.

31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

Wed, Apr 24, 2013
In this story, Peter sought to come to the Lord on the water and was asked to come and walk on the water to Christ. He got distracted by the waves and wind (for us, we get distracted by the world, if what we are doing is not in synch with what others in the church and world are doing, etc.). We need to cleave to Jesus, to have faith, to be believe, to cast out our fear, and all things are possible to us with him. He will magnify our healing efforts way beyond our natural skills and abilities.

Matthew 14:36
36 And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.

Wed, Apr 24, 2013
Remember that Christ is able to make us perfectly whole. Intention of the people in this verse was huge: they believed in Christ, and knew he could heal them, insomuch that just touching the hem of his garment made them whole. Our beliefs, our intentions, our thoughts are very powerful in healing.

Matthew 15:2-3
2 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.

3 But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?

Wed, Apr 24, 2013
We need to be open to ideas that come by impressions to our minds, to the Holy Ghost, to whatever comes. Traditions of the people, of the culture, of society, of the church, often get in the way. People transgress the commandments of God by leaning on the traditions of men. Better that we rely on the promptings of God, being open and eager to take and use whatever God gives us.

Matthew 15:7-9
7 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,

8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.

9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

Sun, Dec 13, 2015
Hypocrisy is a sin before God. Our lives need to have congruency, to be all the same, to have unity of thought and purpose. How we live our lives, and what we teach, being united, will give us far greater focus and energy in doing good.

______________________________

Matthew 15:10-11
10 And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:

11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.

Sun, Dec 13, 2015
So important was this teaching, that Jesus called to the multitude for them to hear: what goes into the mouth is not defiling to man, but what men speak defiles the man. Our language, being pure and holy, non-judgmental and loving, will bring the blessings of heaven. Never should we speak defiling words, or cast false judgment on people. This makes the spirit withdraw and is defiling to us.

Matthew 16:1-3
1 The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven.

2 He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.

3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?

184B13-184B17, from Heavenly Father: "Raphael, the time of our judgments is fully come, and we will maintain this red sky in our celestial realms upon this promised land until our judgments are completed. This red sky will remain even until you blow your trumpet of God after five months of enemy occupation upon the land. Upon the event of the light of a thousand suns, this red sky will depart from our celestial orb, and return again to a beautiful blue sky. The red sky is our sign in the celestial realms that our great judgments and tribulations are fully come upon the promised land.'

At this moment that Heavenly Father stopped speaking, I saw the white capes of my Heavenly Parents start to blow furiously in the wind behind them. They were very serious in their visages, and very powerful looking. I knew they meant business, and would act on all they had spoken!

They then backed up in the beam of light that again appeared behind them. They quickly returned to their holy temple and entered. The sky continued to be a deep red, even like the color of blood it seemed.

My vision then ceased, and I now conclude my prayer and start my day.

Email from S on 1-18-2021, entitled "Red Sky":

"R,

I was told to share this morning's entry with you.

1-18-21 am

Last night as I prayed before I went to bed, I called upon my Heavenly Parents. I next saw Heavenly Mother surrounded by brilliant light in the sky. As I looked at the sky around her, it was all red. As I contemplated the meaning of the red sky, the poem or phrase I heard my father repeat often in my youth came to my mind, "Red sky at night, sailor's delight. Red sky in the morning, sailor take warning."As these words came to my mind, Heavenly Mother then spoke to me: 'You have been forewarned of what is soon coming.' She then departed and I closed my prayer.

This morning, as I awoke to read and study my scriptures, I remembered my prayer experience from last night. I searched the scriptures for "red sky" and found the Savior speaking about it in Matthew 16:1-3.

"The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven.

He answered and said unto them, when it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.

In the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?"

As I pondered what Jesus was saying to the pharisees and sadducees, I thought that they were wanting outward manifestations of miracles, when in reality they should pray to God to find truth. If they would have humbly petitioned God to find out if Jesus was the Christ, they would have known the truth for themselves. This would have been far greater to them than witnessing a sign.

As I called upon my Heavenly Parents in prayer, Heavenly Mother spoke, 'It is good that you have followed our promptings of the Spirit this morning, to recall your prayer with me last night, to study it in the scriptures, then to record this in your journal. You then felt strongly to pray rather then return to your studies. This is because you are to share this message this morning with Raphael.'

As she concluded speaking to my mind, I saw both my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother appear high in the sky with great light beaming from their bodies. They were dressed in white robes. The sky surrounding them was deep red. Heavenly Father spoke and his voice was powerful, yet kind. He said, 'This red sky is now seen in the celestial skies overlying your earth this morning. It is a warning of the judgements pronounced upon your nation. We have warned and forewarned this nation, land and people that it will only be blessed and preserved inasmuch as the inhabitants obey our commands and follow Jesus Christ. The people of this land have broken this covenant and will now face the just wrath of their almighty God. This red sky in the celestial realm overlying your earth will not depart until our judgement upon this land is complete. You were correct in your pondering about Matthew 16: 1-3. If the religious leaders of that day would have prayed for truth, we would have testified to their hearts the truth regarding Jesus Christ, our Beloved Firstborn Son. In your day, if our mortal angels, servants and elect pray for peace, we will envelop them individually in the arms of our love. They may not pray for peace in the land, for we will not hear this request for our judgement is now at hand. If our mortal angels and servants petition us, we will bless those around them as well with this peace and assurance that we are in control. We will bless and preserve their very lives. Send this timely message this morning before you leave to work.'

I felt the love of both my Heavenly Parents envelop me and I was filled with their peace. I began to cry as I felt their light and love enter me completely. This scene before me closed to my view. I then closed my prayer in the name of Jesus Christ.

With love,

S""

Matthew 18:3-5
3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.

190E7-190E23: "Heavenly Father responded: 'Raphael, as our elect humble themselves before us, with open hearts and minds, we will surely pour out our Spirit upon them. We will give them patience and strengthen their resolve to wait upon us, their Gods. They will feel our Spirit guiding them and preparing them.

Raphael, one of the characteristics of our people who establish Zion is a patient and submissive heart and mind. We are molding our elect in these times of waiting and preparation to gain these attributes needed to enter Zion.

Alma spoke of these same attributes and characteristics needed in the lives of the people of his day.

Alma 13:28-29

"But that ye would humble yourselves before the Lord, and call on his holy name, and watch and pray continually, that ye may not be tempted above that which ye can bear, and thus be led by the Holy Spirit, becoming humble, meek, submissive, patient, full of love and all long-suffering;

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."

Our people pray to know our will for their individual lives and progression, the attainment of these attributes will be high on their list, given to them by us. We will thereby prepare our people to be more trusting, more patient, and more humble. Once they attain these things, then we will bring them to Zion, the pure in heart. Our elect in Zion will all be humble, patient and submissive to our will.'

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his words and new insights to me this morning. I thanked him to have come to me and to have taught me. I asked for more patience and more submission to his and Heavenly Mother's will.

He then parted and I closed my prayer in the name of Jesus Christ, his Beloved Son.

Evening-I came this evening to the circling waters where I was hopeful to visit with my Heavenly Mother. I knelt, drank living water, and then asked that she come to me in answer to my request.

She immediately came and stood in glory above the water, a little elevated in the air. I felt great satisfaction and joy to be in her presence.

She spoke to me: 'Raphael, your Heavenly Father told you this morning that some of the requirements for coming into Zion are to be trusting, patient, and humble. I would like to talk more about this.

Those who are our elect in the telestial world are not prepared yet for the glories of Zion. They need to develop some more character attributes in order to be received there, and to come into Zion, the pure in heart. We will prepare all, by the experiences and journeys they will take, that bring these attributes to the forefront. They also will need to drop many of their thoughts, habits, and ways from their current society. When they shed these telestial manners and perceptions, they then will become ready to receive the higher, terrestrial ways of Zion.

The habits that need to be shed include judging others, thinking their ways are better than another's, nonacceptance, pride, and any carnal or devilish habits or thoughts. Division comes with these traits, and is not allowed in Zion. In our terrestrial mortal society, there is great unity and peace. Anyone who creates contention, or a divisive spirit, is not invited to enter.

The character traits most important to those in Zion and her cities are humility, openneness, meekness, a gracious and thankful heart, and a willingness to share and serve. Thinking highly of others, without regard to their station, office, or any other outward appearance or behavior, is how the inhabitants of Zion think. They willingly, of their own accord, jump in and help, serving cheerfully in any way they can. Service and love is a hallmark of all of Zion's citizens.

Your Father mentioned that our people need to develop patience and trust. They must all consider themselves to be servants, and as such, wait patiently upon their Gods, trusting in the timing of God for their own and others' progress and well-being. This doesn't mean that they don't have personal goals and personal ambitions, but that these are consumed in the will of God. They truly consider themselves as servants of God and of each other. The greatest among them is truly the lowest and most humble, a servant of all.

The characteristics of young, open and easily persuaded children are how our saints in Zion consider themselves before God. Well did Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son, speak to his disciples the following:

Matthew 18:3-5

"And (he) said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me."

We do not allow Satan or any of his evil and manipulative methods to enter into Zion. Those in Zion are generally without guile. They never take advantage of their neighbor for their own personal gain, or appear before others as more righteous. How can one be in any way manipulative of another and, at the same time, love them and act as their servant and faithful friend? Instead of thinking of yourself, the charge is to act as the Good Samaritan, treating your neighbors as you yourself would want to be treated (see Luke 10:30-37), is the norm in Zion.

Therefore, Raphael, allow your Heavenly Father and I to shape and refine your character and thoughts, so that you will be able to set a standard, along with our other leaders, for those coming to Zion. Be open, malleable, and humble, and we will lead you all along to be those who welcome the newcomers to Zion!'"

______________________________

Matthew 18:4
4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

189K3-189K10, from Heavenly Father: "He spoke to me, even while looking at the circling waters. 'Raphael, my son, your Mother and I choose the meek and lowly to be our servants. They know, that of themselves, they have no power or authority, and they consider themselves very ordinary, as the rest of mankind whom they serve.

Our Son, Jesus Christ, said "Whosoever shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven." (see Matthew 18:4)

The natural man tendencies that our mortal telestial children experience, gets them in trouble, for they sometimes think that they are better than their brothers and sisters. In reality, only the humble are exalted (see Matthew 23:12). We require all to whom we reveal ourselves, to be open, malleable, and humble.

2 Nephi 9:42

"And whoso knocketh, to him will he open; and the wise, and the learned, and they that are rich, who are puffed up because of their learning, and their wisdom, and their riches--yea, they are they whom he despiseth; and save they shall cast these things away, and consider themselves fools before God, and come down in the depths of humility, he will not open unto them."'

Heavenly Father then turned and faced me. He spoke again: 'Raphael, when a proud person comes before one of us, their Gods, they often think that they already know our mind and will. They think that they know our truths of themselves, and are almost always wrong in their views and perspectives. They are of the telestial, and we are of the celestial, and our ways, thoughts, and intentions are hid from them until they come in humility before us.

Isaiah 55:6-9

"Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:

Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

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."

When our elect come to inherit the terrestrial earth, even to the land of Zion, they must needs be humble and open. We will teach them our abundant truths, even until they shall all see eye to eye, and we bring again Zion. They will all know that access to God is through humility, openness, meekness of heart, and an open mind.'

My Heavenly Father then rose up into the air, and his light started shining upon all the region I was in. He stopped some distance above and again spoke to my mind: 'Raphael, all of the gods are humble and open. None of us are proud, or think among ourselves that our ways are any better than the others. We are thereby filled with the power and views of our first parent Gods, and see eye to eye. We are all united and of one heart and one mind. We live even in a higher celestial realm, akin to the Zion that will come forth in the coming millennial day.'"

Matthew 18:12-13
12 How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?

13 And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray.

164D14-164D21: "Heavenly Mother then spoke: 'Raphael, look now at the light below us, among the crashing waters of this hole!'

I then peered down and saw my friend B, as an angel of great power and light, talking to one of the desperate souls on a wet, slippery and cold rock in the hole. The water was crashing all around them, but B was full of light, and seemed to ignore the environment where he too was being soaked. To the elect in need, B came to the level of that person understanding, reached out and took him by his hand.

I then saw B holding both hands of one of these needy souls, a man, and lifting him up. He then moved with him up and out of this treacherous hole, even to the sunlight and beauty above where they both quickly dried out. I saw B encourage this man to humbly petition God for relief, and for forgiveness of his sins. This elect, a man, then knelt and prayed, even while B was next to him. Once he prayed, it seemed that all changed! They were no longer over the hole, but on stable ground, with grass and flowers around. I saw next Jesus come and minister to this man, and lead him, even as he opened up to his Savior.

I then saw B smile with satisfaction, knowing his rescue effort for this man was fulfilled! Jesus then looked at B and seemed to speak the words of the parable of the lost sheep:

Matthew 18:12-13

"How think ye? If a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?

And if as be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray."

Then Jesus spoke directly to B, 'You have responded to the call of our Heavenly Parents to rescue this man, one of the Father's chosen elect, who went astray and was lost. You have rescued and encouraged him, even to bring him to a point where he could approach me in prayer, in the humility of his soul. B, great shall be your reward for this act of service!'

Heavenly Mother then spoke to me after this scene completed: 'Raphael, B's assignments as a rescuing angel will come from his Heavenly Father and me. We will give him details of our elect son or daughter in need, and send him with our power to uplift and encourage. He will have our spirit to guide him in all of his ministrations, as our angel of God. He will minister in his assignments, even now as with this man you saw that he rescued. There are more that he will visit, even today and each day until the glorious return of Jesus Christ in the heavens above.

Those that B rescues will know that an angel of God, from the heavens above, came and encouraged them, pointing them to Christ, the Great Redeemer. B will act as our conduit of light, and will speak our words of hope and faith to our elect who are lost, even as the one sheep who went astray in the mountains. In all of B's ministry, he will turn the elect person he rescues to us, their Gods. B will serve us steadily and faithfully, for that is the person he is!'

I thanked my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother for this beautiful vision of what I witnessed this morning! I felt full of tearful emotion and great joy for B's great calling to the lost sheep of Israel."

Matthew 18:15-17
15 Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.

16 But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.

17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.

If someone offends us, we go to them and try to work it out. But, if he won't hear us, then we emotionally separate from that person, and consider him as a 'heathen man', or someone we stay clear of. It is important, however, to try to work it out with that person, and consult with others (witnesses, church leaders maybe). If that doesn't work out, then the boundary has to be created to protect ourselves from the trespasses (manipulations, evil, poor motives) of that man.

126I4-126I17, from Heavenly Mother: "She spoke: 'Raphael, the beautiful city below us is the residence of our happy and loving children who were born in Enoch's day before Noah's flood. There are a few others who also joined them from the days when Melchizedek lived and he and he and his people were also translated. These are now mostly out serving their fellowmen, following our spirit to guide them in their godly work of love.'

She then touched my forehead, and extended her hand. I took her hand, and she spoke: 'Raphael, we are now in a previous day in the past, several years after Melchizedek and his people had joined Enoch's group. Let's go in my higher celestial realm and view the happiness and peace that exists among our choice sons and daughters.'

I stood and held my Heavenly Mother's hand. We then traveled above the city, like I had done above the city of Sodom and other cities of the plains in Lot's day yesterday morning. The city now below us was a vast city of Enoch and his people, living in this valley on the celestial orb!

Heavenly Mother spoke: 'Raphael, you will be able to view the relationships between the people. In this city of righteous, God-loving people, there are no dark bonds like you saw yesterday morning among the wicked. Instead you see white connections of light and love, acceptance and gratitude! This is a result of the people living in ways Enoch and Melchizedek have taught them, and how our Holy Spirit has inspired them. These our faithful elect children follow principles of righteousness in all their interactions with each other. They live in an attitude of loving and serving each other. They accept all and genuinely care and think of one another as themselves.'

I looked closely and saw the white loving cords of close relationships, in families and friends. I could see no relationship that was colored or dark!

'Raphael, if there is ever a time when any interaction between our children here becomes stressed or unnatural, or not with happy feelings from either party of a relationship, our children in these situations follow what Jesus later revealed:

Matthew 18:15 "Moreover, if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and how alone: " he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. " (see also JST Matthew 7:4-8).

Any squabbles between these righteous people were not allowed to fester, but they peacefully resolved them in love and charity. This is the reason why you don't see dark relationships here among these people of God, but instead are love bonds between many people! We love to be among these our elect children who follow our spirit and keep their relationships happy! The bonds of love are strong and link the people in unity. This brings great peace and well-bring to this society!'

Heavenly Mother then squeezed my hand we then quickly left the people of Enoch. We came next to the earth, for I saw it as we descended to another area where people lived.

'Raphael, we are now going to our elect who live in your future, during the millennium!'

We were still in the higher celestial realms, so the people were unaware of our visit among them. I saw many people in houses and in places where there were stores and other buildings. We paused and watched them interact together.

I immediately saw the white loving bonds between these righteous people! These bonds of love appeared once they saw each other. Many embraced when they met, and others lovingly put arms around each other's shoulders. There were lots of smiles and laughing too! Everyone seemed to be so accepting of each other. I didn't see any judgment or controlling attitudes. I thought that there couldn't be a happier people of God than these! (see 4 Nephi 1:16) "And there were no envying nor strifes, nor tumults, nor whoredoms, nor lyings, nor murders, nor any manner of lasciviousness; and surely there could not be a happier people among all the people who had been created by the hand of God."). I yearned to live with my own wife and family among them! They were so open and receptive, always following the Holy Spirit, and acting in love and consideration towards one another!

Heavenly Mother then spoke: 'Raphael, you will have the privilege to dwell among such a happy people! This is Zion, the pure in heart! When you reside in a future day with your loved ones, you will be a part of such a loving group of people. Oh, I love to be among my children when they treat each other so lovingly, with kindness and gentleness! These are the fruits of following our Spirit. They think more of their neighbor than themselves. We freely shed forth our heavenly light upon these our blessed children. Satan is also bound and will not have power to bind them with his evil words and perverted dark bonds!'

I spoke: 'My Heavenly Mother, how may I begin to have such loving relationships, even in my day?'

She answered: 'Raphael, for you who live in a darkened world as do you now on your earth, begin by extending love and service to all those around you. Start in your family that we have given to you. Care for and gently talk and love one another. Give freely of your time and means to those in your inner circle, so that they genuinely feel your love. Shower upon your family and friends your understanding heart, your smile, and your light. Be open and accepting of their foibles, and don't shun them. Follow my Holy Spirit and Holy Ghost that the Father, Jesus and I will abundantly shed forth upon you. You will then do more to begin Zion in your own relationships than by any other means!'

Heavenly Mother then turned and embraced me lovingly! She imbued in me her love and great peace! I feel so filled with her light, and experienced a deep calmness and abiding joy."

When something monumental happens, God uses the law of witnesses. This helps us have confidence and faith in the witness of God's hand in our work.

Matthew 19:13-14
13 Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.

14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

57H6-57H13, from Heavenly Mother: "We persuade our children in mortality to come to Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son and the Mediator between God and man. He will remove their weaknesses as they humbly come unto him. It is usually a gradual process of change. We give experiences and situations in life to steer them to humility and to come unto their Savior. If they do so, they may leave their weaknesses of the flesh behind them, which may be many, and accept the patterns of a Godly life, full of faith, hope and compassion (see verse Ether 12:28– "Behold, I will show unto the Gentiles their weakness, and I will show unto them that faith, hope and charity bringeth unto me—the fountain of all righteousness.").

By this means our children may become clean and pure before us. There are many weaknesses of the flesh they need to remove and replace with our ways of thinking, living and learning.

When they have reached a point of purity and are deemed clean before God, Jesus accepts them as his sons and daughters, for he spiritually begets them (see Mosiah 5:7– "And now, because of the covenant which ye have made ye shall be called the children of Christ, his sons, and his daughters; for behold, this day he hath spiritually begotten you; for ye say that your hearts are changed through faith on his name; therefore, ye are born of him and have become his sons and his daughters."). This is a mighty change of heart, where they no more have a disposition to do evil, but to do good continually (Mosiah 5:2– "And they all cried with one voice, saying: Yea, we believe all the words which thou hast spoken unto us; and also, we know of their surety and truth, because of the Spirit of the Lord Omnipotent, which has wrought a mighty change in us, or in our hearts, that we have no more disposition to do evil, but to do good continually.").

If this truly is the state of their soul, they may progress to receive entry into our church and kingdom. However, no unclean thing may enter into our kingdom, for all must be humble and clean before us, as little children. (see Matthew 19:13-14, 1 Nephi 10:21, and Alma 11:37–

Matthew 19:13-14–

"Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.

But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven."

1 Nephi 10:21– "Wherefore, if ye have sought to do wickedly in the days of your probation, then ye are found unclean before the judgment-seat of God; and no unclean thing can dwell with God; wherefore, ye must be cast off forever."

Alma 11:37– "And I say unto you again that he cannot save them in their sins; for I cannot deny his word, and he hath said that no unclean thing can inherit the kingdom of heaven; therefore, how can ye be saved, except ye inherit the kingdom of heaven? Therefore, ye cannot be saved in your sins.")

We purposefully give our children who come into mortality great flaws and weaknesses. Yet they need to shed these and become pure and holy, and strong in righteous ways, in order to be brought back into our presence. This struggle and process is the best way we have found to sift those who really want to be like us, and live our righteous life from those who don't. This is the very purpose of mortality–to see who will come unto us and our Beloved Son, even when ladened with sin, weaknesses, and not being in our presence anymore. We give them valuable experience also for them to gain compassion and understanding.'"

______________________________

Matthew 19:19
19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

82E2-82E9, from Heavenly Mother: "'Raphael, now that you are back in a normal routine in your life, I will give you directions about another topic other than family love, acceptance and relationships within the family.

When our children come to earth, they are naturally focused on their own selves. They desired to experience life and have love for themselves, to protect themselves and to preserve their own life. We have instilled a desire for self-preservation in each of our children who come to earth.

However, there comes a time when our child starts thinking of others and the needs of those around them. Parents do well to set boundaries on selfish behavior, and to instill habits of consideration for others at an early age. Practices of service and kindness lead our child to think outside of themselves, beyond their own needs and wants.

However, there are some of our children who continue in self-focused behavior and in thinking mostly about themselves in their daily interactions. In the gospel of Jesus Christ, the gospel being the way of correct living, Jesus taught a different approach:

Matthew 19:19

"Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself."

Matthew 27:37-40

"Jesus said unto him, thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment.

And the second is like unto it, thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets."

We desire our children to turn their hearts towards us, their God, and to love and serve their neighbor. We desire our children to push down their self-interest and extend love and service to others. In doing so, they find the great joy that comes in serving, succoring, and loving others.

As our children love us, and come unto us, we instill a desire in them to reach out in love to their fellow beings. This is how we live and act. We share with them our ways that always involve helping and caring for others. Our entire lives and focus are continually on how we may lead and bless our beloved children. Our focus is not on ourselves, but on our children.

As our children mature and turn their hearts in love and their thoughts towards others, they become more like us. We always lead them to do those things, acting in kindness and love.

Raphael, the work of angels is based on love and service to your fellowmen. Our holy angels who work in the celestial realms are consumed in service to those to whom we send them. Our angels rarely think of themselves or their own needs in their ministrations to their fellows. They are truly acting in love, extending our reach to our children.

We recommend to you and to those who really want to be like us, their Heavenly Parents, to think and live for others, as we guide and direct them. Our 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, our people will be characterized by the great love and outpouring of service they render to all of those around them.

We may command our children to love one another. However, it isn't until they drop their own selfish desires and accept and love each other as themselves that they will be imbued with this great love for their fellowman. They won't understand until they reach outside of themselves in selfless service and true interest. Once this starts happening, love for others instills in their heart and soul, and they truly become our disciples, for they act as we act, and love as we love.'

I gazed into the loving eyes and face of my Heavenly Mother. She was filled with happiness it seemed. Her entire being radiated love and acceptance. I knew she cared for me so fully!

I spoke:

'Oh my Mother, I will 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!'"

Matthew 19:29-30
29 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.

30 But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.

90E14-90E16, from Heavenly Father: "Raphael, we will have you and Oriphiel receive every one of these millennial elect into our Church of the Firstborn. Every one of these stalks of wheat now growing represent these millennial elect. When they all have been gathered into our celestial church, and you and your family have fully completed your temple work on earth, then the end will come. This will be a final victory of Jesus Christ, our righteous Redeemer, over Lucifer and his evil followers!'

My Father was looking out into the sky above the growing wheat field from the lookout. I perceived he was watching these events in his mind that he had been talking about. I waited a minute and then he turned again to me:

'Raphael, you will yet bring every single elect of God child into our Church of the Firstborn except yourself. Jesus Christ will do this ordinance for you as the first one officially brought into our celestial church. You will also be the last one to receive your full temple ordinances in the New Jerusalem temple. This will fulfill the scripture in part, wherein it states the first shall be last, and the last shall be first.'

See Matthew 19:29-30

"And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.

But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.""

123H7-123H14, from Heavenly Mother: "In Joseph Smith History 1:68-72, Joseph describes how John the Baptist appeared and conferred on both he and Oliver Cowdery the Aaronic Priesthood by the laying on of the hands. After receiving the priesthood, Joseph first baptized Oliver. Joseph did this ordinance by virtue of the authority he had received from John the Baptist, but he himself had not been baptized yet. This came to him after Oliver had been baptized, who then baptized Joseph.

At the moment Oliver was baptized, Joseph had not yet been baptized. One might wonder how he could baptize if he hadn't yet been baptized himself. This is akin to the holy angels administering the ordinances in the New Jerusalem temple without having received these ordinances themselves. Both the angels and Joseph had received the authority to perform the ordinance for another without having received the actual ordinance yet for them.

Similarly, the holy angels will receive from your hand the authority to administer the ordinances in the New Jerusalem temple. They will administer these to those who have been received into the house of God by the waters of separation ordinance. The recipients will be the members of the Church of the Firstborn. These will all receive their ordinances first until it comes to the end of the millennium.

At the end of the millennium, those who have just received these ordinances will in turn administer to those who have not yet received theirs. At that time, all will have received the ordinances in the New Jerusalem temple.

Raphael, we desire our holy angels to stand in their calling to serve and administer to our children before they receive themselves. This has always been their calling from the beginning when they were called and ordained at the time that Jehovah was ordained to be a god. He too was charged to serve others before himself, and to suffer for their sins in compassion and love, without thinking first of his own needs. We directly would bless him in his service.

Likewise, we too will directly bless our holy angels who administer first to our elect children whom Jesus elects into the Church of the Firstborn. Our angels serve them faithfully in their service to them first, in the way we have prescribed. All will then be done in order and the ones first called (the angels) will be last (the last ones to finally receive their eternally binding ordinances) and the last (the ones who become the elect of God after the angels had previously been called and chosen) shall be first (first to receive their ordinances in the New Jerusalem temple).

See Matthew 19:29-30 "And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit eternal life.

But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first."'

Heavenly Mother was beaming with a broad smile! She wants us, her children, to think of our brothers and sisters before ourselves, and to selflessly serve them in love. All will be given to us, even an hundredfold, as we administer in the calling of an angel of God. Angels serve others first and not themselves first. They fulfill the desires and commands of God, and are the messengers of God. God serves their children continually and so should we!"

175J1-175J8: "I came this morning to the knoll overlooking the circling waters in Heavenly Mother's upper garden. I had received an uplifting email from S this morning entitled "first will be last." (see at end of this entry). S quoted a scripture from Matthew 19:29-30. I was pondering this scripture and searched in the LDS library on my phone and found a reference to "first will be last" in Ether 13:12 where Ether saw the New Jerusalem and the Jerusalem of old. He then said that when these things come the scripture will be fulfilled "which saith, there are they which were first who shall be last' and there are they who were last, who shall be first." I was pondering this when I started my prayer.

I then intended in prayer to enter into the presence of my Heavenly Father, if he were willing. I was immediately raised up in the air twenty or so feet and came before my glorious Heavenly Father! He was dressed in brilliant white and was radiating intense light. He was smiling upon me. I then knelt before him, seeking his words and directions.

He spoke: 'Raphael, when our elect children receive a great endowment of light and truth, ahead of our other elect children, we often reserve a blessing of some sort to them until our other children receive that same blessing. Such will be with you, S and his wife and family, and the angels. These are the first workers and gatherers in our new terrestrial world, and the first to receive our remarkable revelations. They will forego some blessing of their own temple ordinances until the last.

You, Raphael, will be the first one to receive the waters of separation ordinance, and will receive it directly from Jesus Christ. After showing you and commissioning you, you will then do this for all the remainder of our elect. However, you will in turn be the last one to receive your full temple ordinances in the New Jerusalem temple that you will have built.

Our prophet Ether was a very perceptive man who sought our revelations. We freely shared with him parts of what we have shared more freely with you. He did see the formation of the Jerusalem of old, the New Jerusalem, and some aspects of the great latter-day work and events that would happen in the millennium. Jesus, our Beloved Son, revealed to him that at this time of the New Jerusalem, the first would be reserved until the last, and the last ones would be first. This policy will be repeated many times by us, even as we will, particularly as it relates to the times you live in now.

We desire our inhabitants of Zion to rejoice over the blessings that others receive in our temple, even as they will rejoice when they receive these blessings themselves. This is part of the same principle of mourning with those who mourn that your Heavenly Mother spoke of last night to you. This principle of the law of the celestial kingdom includes rejoicing with those others who receive before yourself, and waiting patiently for these same blessings to come to you. Our elect children therefore feel the hardships and the blessings that come to others, similar to how they would when these come to themselves. There is therefore a deep kinship, empathy, and understanding that comes to all and is felt by all.'

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his perspective he gave to me today! I asked him to help me feel more this way, to empathize and have greater emotions for the needs and blessings that others may experience. I want to be "all the way in" when it comes to being one with those in Zion.

'Raphael, this is the meaning of what Jesus revealed to Enoch:

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.""

175J18: "Email from S on 10-14-2020 entitled "first will be last"

"R,

Several days ago, my sister S.A. and I discussed the New Jerusalem Temple. We were excited to consider all the amazing times ahead. During our conversation, I shared with S.A. an impression I had that I would be one of the last to receive the waters of separation ordinance and marriage sealing towards the end of the millennium similar to Raphael. S.A. said she had the same impression previously too when reading Raphael's account, but we had never discussed this prior to that time. I had never prayed about it to get an answer and was only sharing the thoughts that had come to my mind when I read it.

Last night this topic came up in prayer and I felt to share it with you.

10-13-20 PM

In prayer, I called upon my Heavenly Father, for I felt he would come to me. I was directed to the future celestial temple of Zion where Heavenly Father stood near the front door outside the temple. Heavenly Father spoke, "This location will hold a special place in your heart through all eternity. It is here where you will enter the waters of separation covenant and your celestial sealing to your wife. This will be a crowning event for each of our children who are worthy to enter this building. I entered a similar temple with your Heavenly Mother when we entered into these same covenants. You will never forget this moment in time and its significance in your eternal progression. You had the impression that you would be one of the last to enter into these covenants in the temple during the millennium prior to Raphael who will be the last. This prompting came from us your Heavenly Parents and is true. You are one of the first to learn of these great promises and you will be one of the last to receive its fulfillment after you have served faithfully throughout the millennium. Our promises are sure and our words will all be fulfilled. It will be an honor and blessing to serve your fellow mankind until the work is complete and Jesus Christ proclaims, 'It is finished.' Let the peace of this promise rest in your heart until it is fulfilled.'

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his message and closed my prayer in the name of Jesus Christ.

Matthew 19: 29-30

"And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.

But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first."

Warmly,
S""

187F4-187F16: "Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, S.A. wrote you an email yesterday wherein she told you what I had spoken to her. I said she would be working in the New Jerusalem temple for the entire millennium as one of our celestial mortal angels. I told her she would find great joy and satisfaction in serving there. Please place her email after your journal entry this morning.'

I told him I would do this, and that I had already written her and received her permission to do so.

Heavenly Father continued: 'Those who labor in our New Jerusalem temple will be primarily the angels of God. Most of these will be mortal individuals who are translated to a celestial glory. They will each have merged minds so that they will be fully cognizant of everything they do in this celestial realm, even while their mortal body lives separately on the terrestrial earth in the New Jerusalem. They will all labor for a thousand years for those who enter into the Church of the Firstborn and receive their final eternal ordinances there in that celestial temple.

Like you and S.A., these too will live on the earth and labor in the temple in their replicated celestial beings. This is how we have designed it from the beginning.

By the end of the millennium, all who are our celestial elect will have received from our celestial angels their full ordinances in the New Jerusalem temple. Our angels will then be the last ones to receive their own ordinances in that temple (see Matthew 19:30). When these final ordinances are completed, this temple will be transferred to the new celestial earth as a monument for those who had gone through it on the mortal terrestrial earth. All will be exalted Gods, with an inheritance on the celestial earth. Our great work for our beloved celestial elect will then be completed for this eternity!'

At this moment Heavenly Mother appeared next to the side of my Heavenly Father. They held hands and began to fade away. I then lost contact with my vision, and found myself back in my private room at home. I thanked my Heavenly Father for his words this morning. I closed my prayer in the name of Jesus Christ.

I received this email from S.A. on 2-19-2021:

"Hello R,

This was very interesting to me to read about all of the man-made weather technologies. I confirmed what you recorded as true with Heavenly Father today. I also asked Heavenly Father if I too would be working in the temple. And if so, would I live through the entire millennium? Heavenly Father confirmed this also to me, with a resounding yes! He also said I would find great joy and satisfaction in doing this work in their temple. Wow, I am in awe at all of these things to come! We will continue to press forward with faith!

Warmly,
S.A."

Evening–Tonight I came in prayer to the circling waters. I was feeling tired and headachy in my body. I will see what comes, and if I can become sufficiently meditative in prayer tonight in order to connect with God.

I knelt and asked for my Heavenly Mother to come. She quickly appeared to me, and spoke to me:

'Raphael, all of our celestial elect will receive deep joys and happiness from their New Jerusalem temple experiences. These will be the culminating days of their progression to becoming Gods in eternity. We want nothing to be a stumbling block for them at this time, or anything to counter their extreme emotions, deep satisfactions and sublime peace. These days will be remembered as great memories throughout their life in eternity.

For those of you who minister in the celestial temple, and others who labor for our faithful in the New Jerusalem and throughout the cities of Zion scattered over the earth, these will become satisfying one happy day after another. Working continually with a new group of the elect each day will bring such meaning and excitement daily to our faithful servants whom we have chosen. We too, your Heavenly Father and I, will frequent your administrations and share in the joys with you, our beloved children.

Your current society on earth values material gain and positions of wealth and notoriety. In our millennial day, there will be more emphasis and concern for members of one's family and neighbors in their community than oneself. The directive to "love one another, as I have loved you" (John 13:34) will become fully lived in our Zion communities. Crime will be non-existent. Our mortal children will share all things in common, allowing free access to goods and services for all. People will not take advantage of their neighbors, but will seek to be very contributing to those in need and the good of the community. Our love among men, women and children will be abundant, which will invite my Spirit to continually reside in their hearts. This will be a beautiful and wonderfully safe place in which to raise families. There will be no poor among them because of the generosity of the people.

With our Spirit in the hearts and minds of our mortal children, there will be no thought to judge or criticize others. This will be a very open society, with people loving sincerely their neighbor, regardless of their opinions or actions. Those who can give in service only a little will be equal in the minds of the people to those who are able to give a great deal.

There will be great unity of purpose and beliefs. This is because each will be free to pray and receive, or be free not to pray, and believe as they wish. Almost all will receive our Spirit, and will know the Lord, from the least to the greatest (Jeremiah 31:34). Once they know us, they will develop great confidence and love for all, even for those who may not act or think as they do. This love will envelop those outside their circle of believers and bring them in with love and acceptance to be friends. This idyllic mortal condition will be a wonderful place in which to live."

Matthew 22:1-10
1 And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said,

2 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,

3 And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.

4 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.

5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:

6 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them.

7 But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.

8 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.

9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.

10 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.

146G10, 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 145-G14

14. We will lift the darkness that covers the world, and the minds of our elect in our own way.

Raphael 145-I6

6. 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.

Warmly,

S"

146H7-146H35: "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!"

Matthew 22:37-40
37 And set up over his head his accusation written, This Is Jesus the King of the Jews.

38 Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.

39 And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,

40 And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.

82E2-82E9, from Heavenly Mother: "When our children come to earth, they are naturally focused on their own selves. They desired to experience life and have love for themselves, to protect themselves and to preserve their own life. We have instilled a desire for self-preservation in each of our children who come to earth.

However, there comes a time when our child starts thinking of others and the needs of those around them. Parents do well to set boundaries on selfish behavior, and to instill habits of consideration for others at an early age. Practices of service and kindness lead our child to think outside of themselves, beyond their own needs and wants.

However, there are some of our children who continue in self-focused behavior and in thinking mostly about themselves in their daily interactions. In the gospel of Jesus Christ, the gospel being the way of correct living, Jesus taught a different approach:

Matthew 19:19

"Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself."

Matthew 22:37-40

"Jesus said unto him, thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment.

And the second is like unto it, thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets."

We desire our children to turn their hearts towards us, their God, and to love and serve their neighbor. We desire our children to push down their self-interest and extend love and service to others. In doing so, they find the great joy that comes in serving, succoring, and loving others.

As our children love us, and come unto us, we instill a desire in them to reach out in love to their fellow beings. This is how we live and act. We share with them our ways that always involve helping and caring for others. Our entire lives and focus are continually on how we may lead and bless our beloved children. Our focus is not on ourselves, but on our children.

As our children mature and turn their hearts in love and their thoughts towards others, they become more like us. We always lead them to do those things, acting in kindness and love.

Raphael, the work of angels is based on love and service to your fellowmen. Our holy angels who work in the celestial realms are consumed in service to those to whom we send them. Our angels rarely think of themselves or their own needs in their ministrations to their fellows. They are truly acting in love, extending our reach to our children.

We recommend to you and to those who really want to be like us, their Heavenly Parents, to think and live for others, as we guide and direct them. Our 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, our people will be characterized by the great love and outpouring of service they render to all of those around them.

We may command our children to love one another. However, it isn't until they drop their own selfish desires and accept and love each other as themselves that they will be imbued with this great love for their fellowman. They won't understand until they reach outside of themselves in selfless service and true interest. Once this starts happening, love for others instills in their heart and soul, and they truly become our disciples, for they act as we act, and love as we love.'

I gazed into the loving eyes and face of my Heavenly Mother. She was filled with happiness it seemed. Her entire being radiated love and acceptance. I knew she cared for me so fully!

I spoke:

'Oh my Mother, I will 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!'

She then started rising in the sky above. She began shining brightly, even as the sun above, so I couldn't look on her. Then she was gone."

Matthew 23:11-12
11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.

12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.

110H3-110H13, from Heavenly Mother: "S.A. asked a few questions I would now like to address:
Q1: "From your cover-up post 43, you said 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. What is this standard of conduct?"

A1: In the general authority level of the LDS Church, there is an elite club-like attitude where those in this group have greater privileges and honors than the lay members. This includes generous repayment for their time, repayment for all their expenses regardless how elaborate, depending upon their rank, travel in first class, and a tight social network of elitism. There is a feeling amongst these who are general authorities that their craft cannot be broken up, and that God somehow honors them more than the normal members. There is even a higher elite feeling and attitude among the Twelve and First Presidency, of their exclusivity and rankings. Some of these feign their position in self-aggrandizing ways, among themselves. Their actions are allowed and not corrected. We have departed from their circles because they are repulsive to us.

These attitudes and self-centered behaviors are generally kept secret from the lay members of the Church. There are also some amongst these who practice in their own clique, evil cult-like practices, including those who practice ritualistic satanic abuse, that are abhorrent to us, their Gods. In time, these will all be exposed.

We would want our servants and leaders to always be humble and self-effacing, to mingle continually with the poor and simple of our people. We would never want them to think better of themselves than those they are supposed to be serving. We wish them to labor without purse or script as much as possible in today's era, and to be modest in their expenditures and personal wants and needs. We would want them to continually seek foremost our presence, and not the companionship of conspiring men in any sort of an elite organization. They are akin to the scribes and Pharisees in the days of Jesus Christ when he upbraided that group (see Matthew chapter 23). Well did our son, Jesus say: "But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted." (Matthew 23:11-12)
(Note from R: I have received the above information from my meditations and prayers. I have prayed about this afterwards, for it has been very upsetting to me that Satanic Ritualistic Abuse could even happen among the brethren, in the leading councils of the LDS Church! I have thought to take it out from this post, but I truly am reporting what I have received. I receive this quickly and I write it all down. I never want to be the one to bring harm or accusations against anyone, particularly leaders that so many look up to and admire. It is all repulsive to me! However, I feel I need to keep the revelation complete, and state all of Heavenly Mother's words, without edits. I have never done any editing like that before anyway. I am reporting what I received. I have confirmed it all in prayer afterwards, and fully believe what I have written to be words from Heavenly Mother. I am so sorry if this has offended any of you, for that is never my intention. I have talked to my sister and we both feel this same way.)

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.

hough 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."

Matthew 24:12
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

84I4-84I8, from Heavenly Mother: "You have had problems hiring and keeping employees in your business recently. This is because people in your society generally are not as committed to their word. You have noticed that more than half of your applicants don't even show up for an interview once they say they will come. This is part of the current tendency of the generations on earth whose love has waxed cold:

Matthew 24:12 "And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold."

In addition to their love waxing cold, there are many other character attributes that are greatly diminishing, like being true to their word and having integrity and respect. This affects all of the generations, now living, but is particularly true of the generation of young men and women that you would be hiring. Basic Christian values are diminishing in your world. These will diminish until war and destruction will soon come upon the land as you saw last night in our visit to the land of America in the near future.

With the new start of Zion in this choice land, we will bring our elect to it that will live lives of honesty, integrity, and be characterized by the great love of God in their breasts. These will be those we saved from the destructions coming to the land. These will establish very peaceful and happy communities that will extend into the millennium. We will bless and prosper these, our elect, who will fill the earth. Mother Earth will be transformed into a terrestrial state, and will shine forth her light and great peace as she did in the days of her creation! Satan will be bound and the wicked will have perished. This will be a wonderful day where our righteous children will come forth upon all the lands of the earth!'

I then saw, in my mind, these peaceful settlements dotting the land of America, or the future land of Zion! I saw happy faces and a very high caliber of people who honored and loved their neighbors and exhibited high self-respect. These raised children in a peaceful world, free of Satan's temptations and subtle traps. I saw great happiness and peace!

I looked then upon Heavenly Mother before me. I saw that she too had seen this same view into the future. Her eyes were sparkling with deep joy and satisfaction. She was smiling broadly.

I want to keep in my mind this view of the future! These times will be so wonderful!

I thanked her for a clear view of our future world! I asked that I now prepare myself by living these high standards of Christian values. I particularly want to love and accept my family and fellowman more and more."

176B5-176B15, from Heavenly Mother: "Last night you and your wife discussed people you know who manipulate others by somehow paying extra attention to them, or praising them, all to obtain a personal gain for themselves. You wondered if it was proper to praise another, to show extra concern for them, for this might be taken as if you were trying to gain personal favor from them. I would like to address this topic.

We are pleased when our children show interest in others, give sincere praise and acknowledge their skill or talents, or express love in any way. Some may do this by listening to another, or giving them simple gifts, or sharing thoughts or acting in little ways that express love.

When showing such attention, our children should not have any personal motive except to establish a stronger relationship with the one they show attention to. However, there are many who have as their base motive a personal gain other than to be loving. We would prefer these to clearly state their intention to ask a favor, instead of emotionally toying with the other person in a manipulative way. Many of our children are unaware of such motives and intentions of others, and become emotionally hurt or taken advantage of in some way.

We love those who express themselves without guile. They may still be charming and praising, but have no ulterior motive for any self gain. They sincerely express the feelings of their heart, and love people by expressions of love in word and deed.

Your daughter received a raise in pay at her work the other day, and painted a thank you card for her employer. She did this as an expression of her appreciation, without any guile or effort to make herself in a favoured position. This behavior is pleasing to us. We love our children to freely express the emotions of their heart such as gratitude, concern, tenderness, interest, etc. In Zion, our elect children are pure in heart, pure in their intentions and motivations to bless and love others with kindly deeds and tender expressions.

Lucifer was one of our foremost children who sought for his own interest above others. He lied to others in order to gain their favor and support. He continues as the master deceiver and manipulator of our children. He never supports those whom he leads astray with his empty promises.

There are times when you might feel a certain way but have learned by your experience not to voice your feelings. This is maturity that comes with age. You have learned that saying something that is true may not benefit or help the one you are speaking with, for they are in a different state of understanding or maturity than are you. This is entirely acceptable and wise for you to do. If in question, ask of your Father or me, and we will help you understand how much of the truth or your feelings to share with them. Sometimes you may be better off smiling and not stating how you honestly feel in order to preserve a relationship. It is not wise to cast pearls before swine. You can still be loving and accepting of these people without sharing your personal or inner feelings.

You know several individuals in your own family and in business associations that are manipulative. You suspect them and wonder if they are lying to you, for some ulterior motive. Some may be motivated by power, greed, or wanting to always be in the know. Some find pleasure in toying with others feelings when they have no interest in those people. This is a sin that needs to be fully repented of were these individuals to dwell in Zion.'

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her timely discussion of these principles. I expressed to her how I had a difficult time reading news reports, for I know that there is so much deception in the news, and that the moral fiber of society is greatly diminishing. I said the upcoming election in two weeks are particularly heated and seem to be fraught with ploys to trick and deceive us.

Heavenly Mother replied: 'Raphael, the love of many has waxed cold in your day, and iniquity abounds (see Matthew 24:12). This is a difficult day in which to live, but he or she that endures and leans upon us, their Gods, will be saved. Those who lean upon us are our elect, for they seek our Spirit, our counsels and directions in prayer, and then follow our guidance.'

I said I would always seek her and Heavenly Father's counsel, and keep their commandments. I said I was grateful for her wisdom and advice today on the topic she discussed."

188E5-188E12, from Heavenly Father: "You mentioned to your wife that the love of mankind has grown cold. This you may see in your own community and family. People are not as sensitive or caring as in earlier times, and there is much more selfish behavior. The people are generally more hardened and are lacking love, gentleness, concern, and have discarded decency and tenderness. Your Saviour, Jesus Christ, in his ministry, said of your day: "because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold." (Matthew 24:12)

When wickedness spreads over any society, the love that they would naturally have one for another wanes and is replaced with selfishness. The norms of decency and decorum are replaced with sinful practices and disregard for good and wholesome standards of conduct. This will continue among the wicked until they are removed from the earth. We will not tolerate such wickedness to continue to spread and pollute the new spiritual realm coming to the earth!

In the great millennial day, there will be a higher level of love, tenderness, willingness to sacrifice and serve one another than has ever existed in the telestial realms on earth. This will allow Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son, to remain personally on earth and reign as king for the entire thousand years of peace and love.

People who 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. The natural man, spoken of in the scriptures, will not be present in the millennial state until the very end when Satan is again loosed for a little season. In this era of peace, the love of all will wax great. Our 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" (words in parentheses from Heavenly Father).

Raphael, it is in such a terrestrial realm that we will establish in the New Jerusalem a small celestial area on the earth. We will have this be our portal to the earth, and it will be a portal to this, our celestial orb. We will have you construct our celestial temple, and bring our chosen candidates into our celestial church there. The angels and celestial servants will minister eternal salvation to our celestial elect in this heaven on earth. Oh, how glorious this will all be for everyone of you who minister and for those who receive! Our perfect love will characterize all of the actions done in this, our celestial realm on the earth.

Keep your eye focused on our future Zion, and these great glories coming to the earth! We will bring it sooner than you may realize.'

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his uplifting words. I expressed deep gratitude to live in these transitionary times that will end in Zion. I yearn to be there, and said I would keep this as my focus."

189K3-189K7, from Heavenly Father: "He spoke to me, even while looking at the circling waters. 'Raphael, my son, your Mother and I choose the meek and lowly to be our servants. They know, that of themselves, they have no power or authority, and they consider themselves very ordinary, as the rest of mankind whom they serve.

Our Son, Jesus Christ, said "Whosoever shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven." (see Matthew 18:4)

The natural man tendencies that our mortal telestial children experience, gets them in trouble, for they sometimes think that they are better than their brothers and sisters. In reality, only the humble are exalted (see Matthew 23:12). We require all to whom we reveal ourselves, to be open, malleable, and humble.

2 Nephi 9:42

"And whoso knocketh, to him will he open; and the wise, and the learned, and they that are rich, who are puffed up because of their learning, and their wisdom, and their riches--yea, they are they whom he despiseth; and save they shall cast these things away, and consider themselves fools before God, and come down in the depths of humility, he will not open unto them."'

Heavenly Father then turned and faced me. He spoke again: 'Raphael, when a proud person comes before one of us, their Gods, they often think that they already know our mind and will. They think that they know our truths of themselves, and are almost always wrong in their views and perspectives. They are of the telestial, and we are of the celestial, and our ways, thoughts, and intentions are hid from them until they come in humility before us."

Matthew 24:21-24
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.

23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.

24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

84H15-84H22: "Heavenly Mother spoke these words to me:

'Raphael, we have just come from our beautiful and peaceful celestial orb where there is always peace and serenity. We are now going to your Mother Earth in a not too far distant day. We will be first seeing your land of America during a time of war and desolation. We will then travel to other parts of the land and you will see that the entire population will be in great commotion and upheaval. Then the vision will change and you will see the beginnings of the establishment of Zion in your current land of America.'

They then resumed their places at my side and then we were instantly on the ground in a very war-torn, bombed out city in the United States of America. I knew the people around us on the land couldn't see us. These people were in torn and old clothing and looked desperate! They looked hurt physically and hungry. Their eyes seemed to reflect inner terror.

Heavenly Father spoke:

'Raphael, there are many like these poor souls all over your country and throughout your world. This is the time of great tribulations upon all people as spoken by our Beloved Son:

Matthew 24:21-22

"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."'
(See also JST- Matthew)'

We next went up into the air, above the land of America. There were many devastations I could see all over the land. People everywhere were either dead or dying! Those who survived were terrified and searching for food and protective shelters.

We went to areas above the big cities and all I saw were destroyed! It looked like these had been bombed, destroyed by earthquakes, fires and natural disasters. The land looked uninhabitable!

We then went together to a place high above the earth where I could see the entire continent of America.

Heavenly Mother spoke:

'Raphael watch now what comes upon your land!'

I then saw a huge red planet or star, that I knew must be Nibiru, come close to the earth on a very quick pass across the land. Immediately, there were severe earthquakes and great contortions in the land. All waterways, lakes and oceans were heaving beyond their bounds and flooding over the land. The entire face and borders of the land were changed after Nibiru passed by! What the bombs and other man-made disasters didn't destroy, Nibiru finished destroying!

I then saw that the new contorted land still had pockets of survivors, all across the land. It seemed next there were groups of people heading for safety in the Rocky Mountain west, for somehow they heard there were protected settlements there and food.

The scene changed. It was now weeks later. I saw that some other angels and I had gathered to the future New Jerusalem area, much which was under water or muddy. We came and I blessed the land for the center place of Zion, the New Jerusalem! I could see that Heavenly Father, Heavenly Mother and Jesus Christ were behind me, inspiring me what to speak in the blessing.

The scene changed again and I saw the foundations of the center place of Zion being built. The area where this city was to be was staked out. The New Jerusalem temple area and temple square had also been determined. Workers were already in place clearing the land of debris and preparing to lay the foundations of the celestial temple.

Heavenly Mother then spoke:

'Raphael, we have showed you, in your unconscious mind, a vision of the land of America. You have seen the devastations on the land. Then you have seen the early foundation of the New Jerusalem and your involvement with other angels there. This will be the great celestial temple of us, your Gods, on the earth in a not-far distant day! Destructions have to come to clear the wicked and the land, in preparation for our holy city to come! Your Heavenly Father and I have all of these events planned. Stay close to us and we will lead you by revelation on exactly what you are to do. We will be with you continually and through you and our angels we will establish the foundations of Zion!'

We came back then to the high mountaintop where we began. I fell to my knees, thanking them for these visions of the near future! I humbly asked to be strictly guided in all I would do! I felt weak and human."

176H5-176H13: "Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, we inspired you to come near to us in our morning walk. We are very involved with each of our elect children in mortality, and think of them continually. This scripture is soon to be fulfilled, speaking of your day.

Matthew 24:21-22

"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."

We will shorten the coming intense tribulations for the sake of our elect who are living on the earth, for we love them dearly and won't tolerate a prolonged period of difficulty for them. We will use these troubles, however, to help shape and refine our elect, to prepare them for the glories that are coming for them, which they can hardly imagine.

Were we to not intervene, and cut short the evil plans of men and nations, your country would be overrun, the citizens of your land would be slain, and the invading armies would have their own people migrate to your land of America in large numbers. However, their best laid plans will become frustrated and we will stop them in their efforts. We will cut short their works and remove them by our power from the land of promise.

D&C 84:96-102

"For I, the Almighty, have laid my hands upon the nations, to scourge them for their wickedness.

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--

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:

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.

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.

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.

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."'

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.'"

186D19-186D24, from Heavenly Mother: "She spoke: 'Raphael, my son, your Father and I may receive intense emotions for a day or so, but then we generally return to our happy selves. When you pray again to your Father in the morning, you will find this to be the case.

These emotional experiences are intense by our design, for a day or so, in order for us to move forward to some major action. In this case, it is the bringing forth in full the calamities upon your world, upon the wicked. We have learned during these high emotion times how to control ourselves and our actions fully. We know beforehand what we need to do, and these emotions move us to initiating in full our particular actions of vengeance upon the wicked.

These are our children who have rebelled, and we long for them to return! However, they now have categorically reached the point of no return, and continue in their destructive and evil manner. Were we not to stop them, all flesh would be destroyed by their sinister plans. However, for the sake of our elect who now live on the earth, and who yet will come, we will shorten the days of the wicked. We will stop them short in their destructive global plans to destroy the people:

Matthew 24:22

"And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved:(this means that without the intervention of God in the affairs of mankind in your day, the world would ultimately become void of any of our children. This is the overall plan of Lucifer which he inspires the wicked mortals on the earth to do, even now to fulfill) but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. (Raphael, we will allow the wicked to rule, and armies to occupy your land for five months, and then we will stop them in their destructive plans! We will send you and legions of our heavenly hosts with the light of a thousand suns to cut short these wicked days, and to spare our elect.)" (words in parentheses from Heavenly Mother).

Raphael, we have big plans for our elect, and now are preparing you and our elect leaders to become one with us spiritually. They each need to know our voice, and prove to us that they will obey us in every command we may give. We will then magnify them with our power and authority, even to act in our name. They must have the confidence necessary to be able to be our faithful mortal and celestial servants.'

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her instruction and comforting words tonight. I told her how glad I was to be in her presence tonight, and to receive from her."

186F3-186F12: "Heavenly Father spoke to my mind: 'Raphael, your Heavenly Mother has given you of her special fruit last night. This will be a great blessing to you and to the others who are also given her fruit, prior to the rigors of hardships coming upon the world. "For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be." (Matthew 24:21).

Our intention is that our elect leaders who have been invited into our celestial presence by Jesus Christ, their great Redeemer, partake of her emotionally strengthening fruit. Some who know and read your account will ask her and be given of her fruit. For others who haven't read your record, she may bring the fruit to them without them asking, like she did for you.

We want our elect leaders to be fortified and strengthened to bear what they will experience and need to pass through during their own tribulations. We expect them to be strong and steady, and to not faint under the burdens of the responsibilities and tasks we will command them to do.

Your Heavenly Mother is only giving one such fruit to each of our mortal elect leaders that we have chosen. Others who are spirits only, or who are celestial or terrestrial translated beings without a mortal body, or those who are resurrected, won't need to eat of this fruit. It is only suitable for those still having a mortal experience on the earth in their physical body.

We could have strengthened these, our mortal elect leaders, in other ways. However, this fruit has been created by the Gods before us, and we have chosen to likewise grow our own crop here on our celestial orb, in Heavenly Mother's lower garden.

After you and others partake of this celestial fruit, you will be given access to more of our Godly mind and heart, and more control of the emotions you will be facing. When these become very heavy to bear, call upon us in your mind and we will share with you our Godly perspective, control and stability so that you may fulfill our work and not be overcome. Those who eat of her fruit will be given some of our most difficult tasks that we wish our mortal servants to do, for they will have our great power, authority, and emotional control in fulfilling our words. This fruit will give them this extra boost in being able to act in our stead, and command the elements, the earth, and the people in whatever we might command them to do, even in our name and in the name of our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ.'

At this time my Heavenly Mother stepped forth and extended to me both of her hands. I took them and stood before her. She then pulled me close, kissed me on my lips, and fully embraced me! I felt so one with her, and started crying.

She stepped back and then Heavenly Father stepped forward and pulled me close to him. He then kissed me on my cheeks, and I felt one with him also. I gained a little greater perspective of their views and feelings that they continually have towards their mortal and premortal children. Oh, they have such concern, care and deep love for each one! I had a glimpse of these, their elect who are or will be soon coming to earth, and how our Heavenly Parents are quietly helping and will be guiding them.

They both then stood before me. I was still crying and felt very happy and at peace. My Gods were smiling and sending to me their great love in the light shining forth from their beings.

My vision then ended, and I found myself writing all of this in my journal in my private room. I confirmed that what I had written was accurate. I felt deep peace and serenity. I felt very settled in my mind somehow. I prayed that this feeling will remain with me. I thanked both my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother for their visit and words, last night and this morning, and for Heavenly Mother to have given me one of her celestial fruits. I then closed my prayer and started my new day."

187G2-187G11, from Heavenly Father: "He spoke to my mind: 'Raphael, in your telestial world there are many difficult circumstances and hardships that have and will yet come to our mortal children. These will largely be removed in the millennial terrestrial world. There will be lesser difficulties, however, which will still allow growth in our children who face obstacles and work through them. The magnitude of the tribulations in your current world far outpass any that will be part of this new elevated realm on the earth.

Matthew 24:21

"For then (in your day) shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be." (words in parentheses added by Heavenly Father').

You currently live in days of evil and secret works, and great deceptions, "inasmuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect." (Matthew 24:24)

In the great millennium, however, Satan and his evil spirits will be bound and no longer will be able to tempt the people until the very end of the thousand years. The wicked will have been all removed from the earth. A higher terrestrial realm, characterized by great peace and abundant love, will permeate society. Those born in families will be able to live in a higher terrestrial environment. They will be numbered among our elect, even as those who will be first admitted into this newly elevated world. These will be all those who dwell as the terrestrial mortals on the earth.

The hearts and minds of our beloved children then will dwell on higher thoughts and ambitions than those now living on your telestial earth. We will frequently dwell among them, and feel very comfortable in their homes and society. Even though most will not see us, they will all know we are among them, for they will feel our presence. Our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, will reign personally upon the earth, even from the New Jerusalem where you and our celestial mortal servants will also dwell in your peaceful settlements. These will be generally exceedingly happy times upon the entire earth.

All that you wrote from your Heavenly Mother last night is true. We are bringing forth these thousand years of peace in order for all of the chosen celestial elect to receive their own temple ordinances, and for the remainder of our children from this eternity to finish coming to the earth for their mortal experience.

When our millennial children look back on the records from your telestial world, they will wonder how you endured the hardships. They will also wonder how it felt to be tempted on every hand, and how the natural man was once part of mankind. In the millennial day, the tendencies of the natural man will be largely removed. Instead, men, women and children will have elevated tendencies to be loving and kind, and no longer think so fully of themselves as those now living in your telestial world.

Isaiah 54:13-14

"And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children.

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."

Raphael, think on these words given to you by your Heavenly Mother and me about the great day of the millennium coming to your earth. These thoughts will help sustain you through the hardships that you will yet endure that are coming.'

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his wonderful words of hope of the world and millennial society coming to the earth. I felt filled with his peace and vision of this new life ahead. It fills me with anticipation and excitement."

203F12-203F23, 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. "

Matthew 24:29-30
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

Thu, Dec 1, 2011
The sign of the sun darkening and the moon turning to blood, or not giving her light, is a sign accompanying the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. The sign of the Son of Man shall be given at that time, whatever that might be (Joseph Smith said people would say it was a comet). The tribes (beast and his allies who are determined to destroy the Saints) will mourn and hide from the face of the Lord (Rev 6:15-17). This same time period is described in Revelation 19.

Matthew 24:31
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.

38F2-38F5: "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 men’s 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."

Matthew 24:40-42
40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

176C10-176C17: "Heavenly Father was speaking: 'Raphael, tonight you discussed with your wife how some of your children are attentive to you, and others of your children are not. Some of your grown children have chosen different paths and practices than you so diligently taught them.

We don't send only our elect children into elect families. Instead, it may appear more random where the elect really come. In many families, even from the beginning, some children become our elect and some not. This is how we planned it from the start since the days of Adam and Eve.

Therefore, in one family, or in your circles of friends, some may be elect and some not. We purposefully keep this information generally hidden from the view of parents or other family members.

In your day will be fulfilled the scripture where the elect are chosen from among the population. We know each one, and have chosen those who will seek us out and keep our commandments.

Matthew 24: 40-42

"Then shall two be in the field, the one taken (the elect), and the other left.

Two women shall be grinding at the mill, the one shall be taken (the elect), and the other left.

Watch, therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come." (words in parentheses from Heavenly Father)

Your Heavenly Mother, Jesus Christ and I will sift the nations, even until we have gathered all Israel. There shall not one of our elect be missed.

Amos 9:9

"For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth (which shall be burned by fire)." (words in parenthesis added by Heavenly Father) '

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his miraculous power in finding and saving the elect, who are the true seed of Israel. I thanked him that these will be preserved and come forth into the millennial world of peace and rest. I also thanked him that I don't need to judge the hearts of the people, but that all judgment is God's. I will trust all those that God preserves and all that they remove from the new terrestrial earth."

198D20-198D25, from Heavenly Father: "'Raphael, my son, the coming to Zion, in either a trek or by intention in coming immediately into the borders of the New Jerusalem, will cause many of our elect sons and daughters emotional distress. This will be because of their loved ones that are left behind, or who choose not to seek to come to Zion for some reason. This will be in fulfillment of the words of Jesus Christ to his early apostles.

JS Matthew 1:42-48

"For it shall be with them, as it was in the days which were before the flood; for until the day that Noah entered into the ark they were eating and drinking, marrying, and giving in marriage;

And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be.

Then shall be fulfilled that which is written, that in the last days, two shall be in the field, the one shall be taken, and the other left;

Two shall be grinding at the mill, the one shall be taken, and the other left;

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."

Raphael, the coming of the Son of Man will come in different ways, at different times, for our elect. This timing includes coming to Zion and leaving behind loved ones in the telestial world. For our elect who are thus called to come to Zion, their departure will usually be quietly done, while loved ones are left behind.

Our elect hear our voice and respond to our call. To our elect, it will be as the coming of the Son of Man at the time of their departure.

The Christian churches in your land call the scripture in Matthew 24:40-41 and Luke 17:34-36 a justification for what they call the rapture. They believe that they will suddenly at one time all be taken, and some left behind. However, this is not how this prophecy will be fulfilled, but it will be done quietly as our call to Zion, the New Jerusalem goes out by our Spirit to our faithful elect. They will depart, all at different times, over a several year period. They will enter into the physical terrestrial realm at some point and make their way to the New Jerusalem, and the neighboring Zion communities.

When our Beloved Son comes in glory in his second coming to the earth, the final mortal elect remnant in the telestial world will be caught up to meet him. However, a much larger group of our mortal elect will by then be in the terrestrial world, and will be caught up to meet him in the clouds of heaven.'"

Matthew 24:42-44
42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.

44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

111C11-111C14: "Heavenly Father then spoke: 'Raphael, you have recently read and listened to comments of others who prophesy or speak of last day events. They are speaking from their pure intention but most things they say are not correct. No one knows the exact sequence of events or even the events, so when they act or speak as if they know, they are making suppositions and are misguided. They are trying their best, but without our direction they will never know. We have planned to hide what will happen in most cases, in the last days' sequences until it happens. This is as it should be, so that our children may learn to rely on us, their Gods, and not on the predictions of men or women. Our children too should just relax and live their lives, trusting in us as they strive to commune daily in open and humble prayer.'

Heavenly Father continued: 'There are and will continue to be many signs and wonders in the heavens and on earth. These will happen more and more rapidly in succession. Men and women might suppose what will happen next, but they would do better to spend their energy in seeking our face and in following our prompings.'

Matthew 24:42, 44–"Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
Therefore, be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of Man cometh."

Heavenly Father: '"Watching" in this verse means coming to us in humble, sincere prayer, full of faith. Our saints also wait upon us in their quiet moments. As they are diligent and open in their minds and hearts, we will come to them, after the trial of their faith. As they persist, they will begin to hear our still small voice, even the voice of the Spirit. We will lead them and protect them as they come to rely on us. Gradually, we will open up more and more to them as they acquaint themselves with our manner and ways of communication. We will open up to every soul who diligently seeks us.'"

51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Fri, Dec 20, 2024
See my notes in D&C 130:14-15 and D&C 45:26,31 where Heavenly Father discusses the timing of second coming of Jesus Christ. He stated in 2024 that the people in the United States would four more years of general peace in order to route out evil from the land, and to turn to God. There will be a great division in the land, where the wicked will become more wicked, and the righteous will turn more and more to the Lord Jesus Christ.

Matthew 25:1-4
1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.

2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.

3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:

4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

Thu, Dec 1, 2011
This is a parable of the last days, for the church. The oil can be likened also to food storage: those Saints who have laid up food will be much more able to withstand the economic collapse and destruction when it comes. For them, there may not be enough to share with others who should have prepared ahead. Oil can also be likened to righteousness and obedience. The Lord will protect those who keep His commandments.

______________________________

Matthew 25:1-13
1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.

2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.

3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:

4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.

7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.

9 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.

10 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.

11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.

12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.

13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

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 crying—Prepare 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""

108I4-108I10, from Heavenly Mother: "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."

See also my notes in 146G10 and 146H7-146H35 in Matthew 22:1-10 for a explanation of the Marriage Supper of the Lamb and the Ten Virgins.

Matthew 25:10-13
10 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.

11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.

12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.

13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

Mon, Nov 27, 2023
This parable is fulfilled at the marriage Supper of the Lamb. Even among the members of the church, there will be imposters right to the last moment. These will He destroy, while the righteous He will save. D&C 86, speaking of the parable of the wheat and tares, says the wheat he will gather out first, and then bound the tares and burn them.

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.'"

Matthew 25:40
40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

114D16-114D18, during sacrament meeting at church: "The ward talks were then being introduced. I saw clearly my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother leave quickly from before me and I then listened to the talks on service given by a sister Kelly and then brother Kelly. Her talk was the best talk I've heard in years! I took notes and so fully related to what she said. I felt I could have a friend in brother and sister Kelly!

She had gone back to UVU in Orem, Utah to take classes. She said she had been disheartened by so many youth who were leaving the LDS Church in a mass exodus. She had talked to many of these now younger schoolmates (she already had six children).

They had all felt very judged by the members of the church and families.

In her talk on service, she quoted Matthew 25:40 "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me." She mentioned the "Tattooed Mormon", of a girl named Al Carraway who came to Utah County after converting outside of Utah. She was so lonely, but in coming here felt still lonely because of all the judgment she received from the LDS people! She called them judgment "lasers" that rejected her because of her tattoos. People did not talk to her. Anyway, Sister Kelly's talk was a great talk.

I want to be so non-judging of others! They can be so different, yet I should be just as accepting and loving. I want to look on their heart and not the outward trappings of others. I want to have an internal doctrine of inclusion and not exclusion. I want to also show my love by my quiet service and acceptance of each one I serve and love."

176B24-176B29: "Jesus paused and then looked towards the narrow path and the distant tree of life. He turned to me again and spoke:

'Raphael, on your own path to the New Jerusalem by foot next summer, we will give you the spirit of Zion. You will arrive after your other replicated being will have prepared much for you and our people who arrive. These will all come with the new heart and new spirit spoken of by Ezekiel. Those who enter the gates of the New Jerusalem will be changed by me and by our Heavenly Parents into faithful citizens of Zion, the pure in heart.

Raphael, rise now and make the journey to our tree of life again. As you partake of the fruit and leaf of that tree, you will gain a flavor of how it will feel to have a new heart and spirit within your breast!'

I thanked him and stood. He reached out his hand and squeezed mine. I then turned and walked down the straight and narrow path to the tree of life. It seems I floated over this path and the hazards that came up.

I soon reached the beautiful tree of life. I stood under its canopy and plucked a fruit and a leaf. I then sat by the trunk of the tree, and ate. I felt very uplifted and eager to help anyone on their trek to this tree on the straight and narrow path. I stood and ran to the path and greeted those who were also coming and just finishing their journey. They were grateful for finally a welcoming hand, and seemed very humble and tired. I helped them rest under the canopy of the tree. This helping hand filled me with exceedingly great joy! I then knew that this was the true spirit of Zion–to serve another in their needs and wants. In the process I entirely forgot about myself and my own needs or wants. It was so very fulfilling to help others!

The words of Jesus then came into my mind "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me." (Matthew 25:40)."

Matthew 26:26-28
26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.

27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;

28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

189F16-189F26: "Tonight I came to the outcropping above the circling waters. I faced the temple in the distance. I had not been able to take the sacrament today, and desired to renew my covenants here tonight.

I then offered my prayer while on my knees: 'Oh God, the Eternal Father, I ask you, in the name of your Son, Jesus Christ, to provide the emblems of the sacrament, the bread and water or wine, to me, so that I can renew my covenants today.'

I waited and then Jesus Christ, my Savior and Redeemer, appeared on my right! He spoke: 'Raphael, I have blessed this bread as a token of my body. Take, eat.'

I took of the bread that he gave to me. It was a whole grain torn piece of bread.

He then gave me a silver cup, with liquid in it. He spoke: 'Raphael, I have blessed this wine as a token of my blood that was spilt, which was shed for many for the remission of sins. (see Matthew 26:26-28) Take, drink.'

I then drank of the wine from the cup.

At this moment, my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother appeared before me, and Jesus Christ stepped to the side of Heavenly Father so that they were all three facing me. I then spoke: 'Oh, my Heavenly Parents, I covenant to take upon me the name of Jesus Christ, to always remember you, and to keep your commandments.'

Heavenly Father responded: 'Raphael, your Heavenly Mother and I accept your covenant this evening. We promise you that our Spirit will always be with you, even our very presence.'

I gazed upon all three of my Gods before me in the air in front of the outcropping. I felt so uplifted and full of light when I was before them. I felt great peace!

At this moment, a bright beam from their distant temple came upon them. They then all three started moving backwards in the beam to the temple. They soon were gone, and the beam left.

I thanked my three Gods to have come to me tonight. I felt very pleased that I had received the sacrament on this sabbath day."

10:23
23 And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!

189E14-189E24, from Heavenly Mother: "She spoke: 'Raphael, you felt today the reward and satisfaction of completing a hard work project. We have given all of our sons and daughters this same joy from their sense of accomplishment. There is usually relief and the contentment of completion, both which add joy to the soul.

On the other hand, when one acquires riches, he/she also feels a sense of satisfaction. Our child then has a stewardship to use these riches, either for himself or herself, or to bless others. There are certain needs everyone requires which riches may help acquire. However, excess riches may corrupt the souls of our children when they are not shared and given in love and generosity to those in need. After this, the rich who do not share freely, begin to think that they are better than the others in need around them because they have more.

Alma 5:53

". . . yea, can ye be puffed up in the pride of your hearts; yea, will ye still persist in the wearing of costly apparel and setting your hearts upon the vain things of the world, upon your riches?"

This change of heart which is pride and being puffed up, begins to allow iniquity in their souls to grow.

Helaman 7:21

"But behold, it is to get gain, to be praised of men, yea, and that ye might get gold and silver. And ye have set your hearts upon the riches and the vain things of this world, for the which ye do murder, and plunder, and steal, and bear false witness against your neighbor, and do all manner of iniquity."

Well did Jesus Christ say of those who have riches and have allowed pride, iniquity, and selfishness to take a prominent place in their lives:

Mark 10:23

"And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!"

Raphael, when you first come here to this flooded area of the future New Jerusalem, you will have a determination to fulfill our plan to create this island and the New Jerusalem temple. You will do exactly in the physical that you already have done in the spirit (see your posts 172 and 173). This will give you exceedingly great satisfaction to witness these creative events being fulfilled. This will bring you great joy to participate in this plan we have for building the New Jerusalem temple on the celestial realm of the earth, and the surrounding terrestrial island of the New Jerusalem. You will reflect on this accomplishment all throughout the millennium, which reflection will continue to fill you with happy memories.

All the riches of man will perish on the earth, when there will be a new heaven and a new earth (Revelation 21:1), except for our celestial temple. This structure will already be celestial, and will not be consumed when the earth shall pass away. This temple will stand as a memorial for our exalted children forever.

Revelation 21:2

"And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem (the temple of the New Jerusalem in its midst), coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband." (words in parentheses from Heavenly Mother).'

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her teachings on riches and on the sense of accomplishment I will have with others in constructing the New Jerusalem. I told her I looked forward to all these events, even soon to happen on the earth. I told her I was so happy to meet with her tonight on the celestial grounds of the New Jerusalem temple."

Mark 13:35-37
35 Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:

36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.

37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.

186I5-186I8, from Heavenly Father: "'Raphael, I have prompted you to watch Pastor Dana Coverstone's latest dream, before I was to address you this morning.

Last night your Heavenly Mother told you that we who are your Gods may reveal our words to whomsoever we desire. We revealed a dream to Dana Coversone, our humble servant. We have chosen to do this because he may reach many of our elect in your nation. Our message to the elect is still to brace themselves, and to be ready and willing to take a stand against evil. There are many events coming quickly upon your land at the hands of evil conspirators who will overtake your nation. However, we are fully in charge, and see and know of all their wicked plans. We will allow the wicked to accomplish some of their evil works in fulfilling our own purposes, in trying the hearts of our children, destroying the wicked, and preparing the elect and the land for the coming forth of our Zion, the pure in heart.

What we revealed to Pastor Coverstone is the same message that we have revealed to you, S.A. and K. Darkness will soon overtake your land and the evil ones will gain control over the nation and the people. Your American republic will be destroyed, but the principles and founding US Constitution will be reestablished in the land in a short time. Our timing for this light of a thousand suns event will seem to come quickly. When the wicked reach a full level of iniquity, then will our mighty hand come forth upon the wicked and clear the way for the New Jerusalem that you will establish.

Mark 13:35-37

"Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:

Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.

And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch."'"

Mark 14:36

36 And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.

181B17-181B25, from Heavenly Father: "'Raphael, what you have done in preparing your digital records is similar to other future tasks you will do that will have to be done within a specific period of time. You have prayed for help and we have strengthened you to accomplish your task. This same sort of tenacity, faith and diligence will be required of you in the future also. As you rely on us, and pray to us, we will help you, but you need to be very diligent in fulfilling these future assignments. Many of them will require only you to do them, and others will require a concerted effort by many people. We will always give you adequate time and strength to fulfill our commandments.

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."

Sometimes you will not know how to accomplish all we ask of you in so short a time. However, we will work through you our wonders as you place your full faith in us and are diligent and constant. Your mission requires that you do these things in your mortal body, or as a replicated translated celestial being.

When our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, suffered for the sins and infirmities of all mankind, he knew he had to fulfill his mission only by himself, for he was our chosen Redeemer. However, at one point he prayed that we would take this away from him. Nevertheless, he desired more that our will would be done, even more than the pain and suffering he would need to suffer:

Mark 14:36

"And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt."

The example of Jesus is for all our children when we give them a difficult task that only they can do. They need to press forward, with faith and great diligence, relying wholly upon us and yet working as if all depends on their own effort and work. It is in these high intensity moments as well as in the day to day pressing forward efforts that our children grow into the stronger servants, the men or women we see them becoming. They thus become perfected, even "unto a perfect man (or woman), unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ." (Ephesians 4:13, comments added by Heavenly Father). Our beloved Son has descended below all things (see D&C 122:8), which means he has fulfilled the greatest task and mission of any of our children, and thereby has set forth the example to all of pressing forward, with great diligence and faith, in order to fulfill our commandments.

Whenever you might feel that the task we have asked you to do is too great, or beyond your capability, or that it requires too much effort, then remember that Jesus Christ descended below all things, and thus was exalted above all, for he was fully obedient to all we commanded him. We will never abandon you, but will be by your side to buoy you up and to strengthen you in fulfilling all of our commandments. By pressing forth, you will fulfill our words, and will become a stronger and more capable servant in our hands.'

I asked my Father to help me continue to grow in these things and to be diligent always. I said it was my greatest desire to go forward in faith in whatever he may direct me to do. I said I was so very grateful for him and Heavenly Mother constantly being next to me. I said I loved their support and comfort, and to know that they were by my side.

Heavenly Father smiled and said he was pleased in my efforts so far. He said he had still chosen me to be his servant to do all things he and Heavenly Mother had previously revealed for me to accomplish."

Mark 5:1-19
1 And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.

2 And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,

3 Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains:

4 Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him.

5 And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones.

6 But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him,

7 And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.

8 For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.

9 And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.

10 And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country.

11 Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding.

12 And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.

13 And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea.

14 And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done.

15 And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.

16 And they that saw it told them how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil, and also concerning the swine.

17 And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts.

18 And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him.

19 Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee.

142I7-142I15, from Heavenly Father: "On another note, R.S. wrote you an email asking about same-gender attraction. He wondered if this would be transferred to the spirit inside the fetus because of the mother's circumstances or feelings.

Same gender attraction is something our spirit children never experienced in their pre-mortal lives. They have come to a fallen world where there are many life styles and patterns they might grow up in that they accept as usual. These, however, never cause same gender attraction, or do the unborn receive these while in their mother's womb before birth.

The greatest source for same gender attraction comes from evil spirits who influence or possess the spirits of those in mortality. If a male mortal is possessed by a female evil spirit, he may feel her attraction to other males, and then say he has same sex attraction. It really isn't from him, but from an evil spirit that has found residence in his body, or who continually stays around her unassuming host.

Were this evil spirit or spirits to depart, the same sex attraction would also depart.

The scriptures say that little children cannot sin, but are whole and not accountable (see Moroni 8:8). This is true doctrine. Little children are alive in Christ, cannot repent and need no baptism until the age of accountability (see Moroni 8:12-14, 19-20).

However, once our mortal children are accountable, these cleverly disguised evil spirits may whisper to their minds and hearts falsehoods about their natural maturing process into young men and young women. If these mortal children listen to and attract the false and evil spirits, they may become deceived into thinking they have same gender attraction. In your day there is an increasing amount who succumb to these temptations and whisperings from clinging spirits, or spirits who even possess their own spirits and largely take over their minds and thoughts. They are allowed to take possession of their bodies because these individuals have desired it at some point. There are all sorts of ways that these evil spirits masquerade as the person who they have influenced or even taken over. The spirit we sent originally into their own body has had to have given permission to their evil host to possess their body, or stay around them.

Mosiah 16:35–"For they are carnal and devilish, and the devil has power over them, yea, even that old serpent that did beguile our first parents, which was the cause of their fall; which was the cause of all mankind becoming carnal, sensual, devilish, knowing evil from good, subjecting themselves to the devil.

...But remember that he that persists in his own carnal nature, and goes on in the ways of sin and rebellion against God, remaineth in his fallen state and the devil hath all power over him. Therefore he is as though there was no redemption made, being an enemy to God; and also is the devil an enemy to God."

When Jesus Christ cast out the evil spirits from a man, and sent them to the swine, the man became in his right mind:

Mark 5:15 "And they came to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind; and they were afraid."

Jesus called these unclean spirits, for they had full possession of the man, and even could speak for the spirit of that man, for he had relinquished his power over his body to them. There were many, even Legion (see Mark 5:1-19).

Many in your day have a similar experience of being possessed and live in sin, even in homosexual relationships, or perverted attitudes or desire. These souls never were taught these things by us, their Heavenly Parents, in preparation for their advent into mortality. They were all taught and accepted the methods and feelings they would possess in order to have normal relations with their chosen spouse, and bring forth our children to the earth. This was their desires as they came as spirits to their mortal probation.'"

Luke 2:11-17
11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

15 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.

16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.

17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.

Sun, Dec 24, 2017, Christmas Eve
65G12-65G18: "We went to a local ward at 1:00 PM to sacrament meeting. We sang lots of Christmas songs that was very nice. For the sacrament, we sang "Jesus Once of Humble Birth (hymn #196).

When I was preparing for the sacrament, I thought I was in the field just north of the river representing Jesus Christ in the celestial world. I had been here multiple times. Only today there was a different landscape against the hill to the north where the trail goes into the woods: there was some kind of cave. I came near it and realized this was an actual vision I was seeing in heaven of the birth of my Savior, Jesus Christ, on the earth long ago!

. . . I made my way into the cave and saw Mary and Joseph there. I then focused on Jesus Christ, the baby in the manger who had just been born. I looked into his eyes that opened as I looked at him. I saw the recognizable eyes of my Redeemer, so deep and eternal, in this little baby! As I looked at baby Jesus, I was drawn into his eyes somehow! I then saw my Savior before me! He spoke to me:

'Raphael, you see now how I came to earth in my humble birth to redeem all mankind who come unto me. I am the promised Savior of our Heavenly Parents!'

I was then whisked back to my kneeling position next to the place where he lay as an innocent baby in that humble manger! I gazed more on his face, peering into his eternity eyes, so remarkable and so much of those of my Savior!

The hymn ended and the priest offered the blessing on the bread. I then opened my eyes and my Heavenly Father was standing on my front right and Heavenly Mother on my front left with baby Jesus between them. I then made my covenant with my Heavenly Parents, like I do each week. I was praying to them on my knees.

Heavenly Mother then spoke to me:

'Raphael, we accept your covenant today that you have made before us. We covenant to always be with you. When our Firstborn Son was born in this cave on earth, he came into the world as our chosen Messiah. When he was just born, you and all our holy angels came here in this cave and saw him with Mary and Joseph, hidden from their view. We allowed our archangels to first come and witness of his birth, and then the remainder of our angels.

When you all had seen and bore record, you then came to the shepherds in the local field to witness to these humble souls. We allowed you to herald your overflowing love and fresh witness that the Son of God now had come to earth! Rarely do we permit our angels to witness in mass to the inhabitants of the earth, both with declarations and anthems of praise, but this we freely permitted that night. We were nearby also with our angels that holy night of the advent of our Beloved Son into the world!'

I then gazed again on the Son of God before me, a newborn baby. I was in awe at the stillness and peace of the moment!"

Luke 2:40
40 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.

189B18-189B25, from Heavenly Mother: "'Raphael, you are correct that our Beloved Son came with a veil over his mind, just like other infants have. He grew into a young man and then questioned his position as our son, just as our other children might do. He was taught privately by his earthly mother and father, and wondered about these great signs of his birth. This is when he humbly and openly asked of us about who he really was. We revealed ourselves to him just like we do to our other sons and daughters, here a little and there a little, and line upon line. As he exercised faith and showed us his persistent diligence, we opened up more and more to him, revealing to his unconscious mind gradually his role and mission, and foreordained calling as our only Begotten Son in the flesh.

Jesus Christ grew very rapidly in spiritual things, and accepted all we gave him by personal revelation. He always sought to learn more from us, and obeyed all of our words. Thus by his diligence he grew grace for grace.

Luke 2:40

"And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God (this was our response to his inquiring and open meditative prayer) was upon him." (words in parentheses added by Heavenly Mother).

Raphael, we are no respecter of persons, even of our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ. We respond to every one of our humble inquiring children in the same way. The path to becoming perfected, even as Jesus Christ became perfect, is the same. It is by precept upon precept, line upon line, here a little and there a little (Isaiah 28: 10). Our children need to follow the example of the Son of God, and then they too will gradually receive grace for grace, even until they receive all things in time, because of their diligence.'

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for the additional details of the life of Jesus, even when he was a young boy and man. I felt very encouraged that as I am persistent, God will lead me too, even as fast as I might receive.

She then smiled upon me and suddenly disappeared. I closed my prayer in the blessed name of Jesus Christ.

I received this email on 3-10-2021 from S.A.:

"I confirmed yesterday's message as true, about Christ growing from grace to grace. I hadn't really considered this before, how he truly had to work through weaknesses and doubt, and also he had to struggle to develop great faith. It resonates with me.

The pattern of us following in his footsteps brings this concept into light, which includes growing into perfection. As a child, I thought Christ was just born perfect.

As I thought of him not really knowing for certain who he was, or what he was to do at first, I was wowed by the powerful insight that really is. It helped me really appreciate how hard it would be to do all that he did, without a perfect knowledge at first. It fills me with hope and courage to know that by struggling from grace to grace, we are on the path that the Savior himself walked!

I also loved today's message of finding ways to serve others selflessly. It was very uplifting and inspiring to me. These are the fruits of truth.

Thanks for all you do!

Have a blessed day,
S.A."

I also received this email on 3-12-2021 from S:

"R,

It resonates with my heart that each child of God may have a personal relationship with God according to their efforts as God is no respecter of person. I have great respect and appreciation for Jesus Christ who had to connect with God through the veil that covers each of us who comes to earth.

Your Friend,

S""

33 And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same.

34 And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.

Disciples of Christ are unique in that they love their enemies, do good to those who do them bad, lend to people without hope of getting it back. This is unique in the world and separates those who are truly Christian.

Luke 8:5-15
5 A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.

6 And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.

7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.

8 And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

9 And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be?

10 And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.

11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

12 Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.

13 They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.

14 And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.

15 But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.

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."

Luke 10:27
27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.

72F3-72F5, from Heavenly Father: "'Raphael, we have shown you how the righteous elect will start filling up the earth and how the wicked will perish from the earth. We described this transition as your season change from winter to spring. It will be gradual yet very perceptible.

I have also talked to you how our mortal elect will have great upheavals in their lives. Many will lose all and will be required to exercise great faith in us, their Gods, in building their new lives. Their new lives will be founded on care and love for their fellowmen. They will, of necessity, need to serve each other and love each other. Many of their hardships will fully change their perspective on life. These changes will be to give them a Zion perspective, where love for God and others is their predominant desire, and not their own selfish desires. They will think as much for their neighbors' needs and wants as their own. Finally, we will have a people who fulfill the commandment of our Beloved Son to love God and their neighbor as themselves (see Luke 10:27– "and he answering said, thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and thy neighbor as thyself.") Our people will be obedient to our every word, and we will be able to lead them to a very happy life, based on obedience to God and service to those around them. This is the basis of the culture of Zion, the pure in heart. The new millennial world will elevate to the higher terrestrial standard of living. This will be reflected in the intentions and purity of our righteous elect who will live on a terrestrial earth. Oh, it will be a glorious day of peace and rest! There is no better way for the earth's Sabbath of 1000 years to be lived by our people!'

Heavenly Mother then spoke to me:

'In that beautiful day, my sons and daughters will know their Savior, for he will be among them. They will know us, their Heavenly Parents, for we will reveal ourselves to them as we reveal ourselves to you now. We will frequently come in our physical persons to the New Jerusalem temple square area, the celestial portal to heaven on earth. Oh, I look forward to this glorious day soon at hand!'"

Luke 10:29-37
29 But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?

30 And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.

31 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.

33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,

34 And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

35 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.

36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?

37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

See my notes in Matthew 5:43-47 under 189B6-189B13

181E10-181E27: "Evening-I had a long discussion with my wife this morning about showing true Christian love to others. She is such an amazing example of one who continually thinks of others and wants them to be happy and comfortable! She takes time to serve people all around her. She is a very good example to me of true and pure religion. She exemplifies the scripture in James 1:27.

James 1:27

"Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world."

I desire to be more like my loving and Christlike wife! It takes time and thought to think of others before oneself. Today there are so many that only think of themselves. I was raised in such a world, but I don't want to continue in this way. I want instead to follow the example of my Savior and my wife.

Jesus gave the parable of the Good Samaritan. He concluded it by saying these words:

Luke 10:36-37

"Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?

And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise."

Jesus also said we should love our enemies, and "as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise" (Luke 6:31).

I feel very convicted of thinking of myself too much, and not enough of others around me. This will be the focus of my prayer tonight.

I came to the circling waters this evening and knelt by the water. I drank living water and then faced the river to my south. I asked for my Heavenly Mother to come.

She immediately appeared before me with a smile on her face. She was very radiant and I felt her love and acceptance.

I told her I so wanted to be filled with the love of God that I saw in my wife, and in the example of Jesus Christ in the scriptures. I told her I wanted to love others as she loved me. I felt very humbled and open. I sought her guidance.

She spoke to my mind: 'Raphael, developing love and awareness of the needs and wants of others takes lots of practice for many people. As you seek to develop greater love, you will have this in your mind like your wife does each day. You will want to serve and help others in any way you can, even to putting aside your own desires and plans.

If you follow the admonition of Mormon as recorded by his son Moroni in Moroni 7:48, your Father and I will strengthen you and give you a greater portion of our love, even until you possess our love in a great measure:

Moroni 7:48

"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."

Raphael, extend to those first in your family and then your neighbors. There are ample people in your daily associations who would greatly benefit from your love and interest. I will be near you to help you as you seek to be filled more with my love, the love of God.'

I thanked her for her promise. I asked her to help me as I extend more to those around me, and think of them as I think of myself. I said that this was the great desire of my heart.

She smiled upon me and faded away from my view. I felt humbled to be in her presence, but I know that didn't make me any more a follower of her Beloved Son than had I not been in her presence. Instead, I need to take the initiative and act in more loving ways if I were really wanting to be filled with God's love. I don't want to be a hypocrite! I don't want to be like the man that doesn't bridle his tongue and yet says he is religious:

James 1:26 "If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain."

I could reword this to say "If any man among you seems to be religious, but thinks more on himself than others, or loves not others by his actions, this man's religion is vain."

Oh, I desire to be filled with the love of God for the others around me!"

See my notes in Matthew 18:3-5, under 190E7-190E23.

Luke 11:34-36
34 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.

35 Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.

36 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.

128H3-128H10, from Heavenly Father: "'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."

Luke 12:3
3 Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.

201F21-201F27, from Heavenly Father: "'Raphael; you have wondered about the religious instructions of the northern tribes of Israel, now that they are at the New Jerusalem. They have a rich heritage of religion and faith in us, their Gods. They revere and support their prophets. We wish all of this people now to open their minds to new revelations and truths, and to learn to test all things. This will help them individually know whether they are being led by their leaders correctly or not, and to know how to receive truth from us.

The people are generally literate, and most adults and teenagers can read and write, both male and female. They are very familiar with their own records that their own ancestors have passed down. Their prophets also receive current revelation that they have written recently, prior to their travels to the outer earth.

We want them to write the accounts of their own recent journey as a people. They have brought writing instruments and paper made from wood pulp, similar to what you are familiar with. Paper is something not many people possess. It is now used predominantly for recording the affairs of the people and for new scripture. We will be inspiring their prophets and scribes to record their momentous journey to the New Jerusalem within the next month.

We also want you to start sharing the religious history and truths of the restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ. We want you to tell of Joseph Smith, our latter-day prophet, and the Book of Mormon. We want you to tell of the Bible, the advent, life and death of Jesus Christ, their Great Redeemer. Give them a foundation of these things so that they will be familiar with them when you start to share your own records.

When you arrive with your trek of twenty people in one month, we will then have you and others share passages from the standard works that you bring with you. When you arrive with your wife and son in two months, you will be able to also share with them your own records that you then bring.

We want you to begin sharing with a group of two hundred people each day at noon on the grassy area on the center of our island. This group will include their prophets and those whom they will select, both men and women. After dinner in the evening, these same two hundred people will share with their own larger groups of families and individuals what you have told them earlier in the day. There will be two hundred locations on the island where the people may come at 7 pm. These will normally last up to an hour. You will rotate around these groups, one per night. We will therefore begin to teach our people in Zion the truths from the Bible, the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price. Until these records are physically available, you will need to teach them from your memory. Once these records are on the island, you and others will then be able to read these to the people.

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.'"

Luke 13:34-35
34 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest 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!

35 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.

127B5-127B12: "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.'"

Luke 15:4-5
4 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?

5 And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.

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)."

______________________________

Luke 16:31
31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

163B5-163B22, from Heavenly Mother: "She spoke to my mind: 'Raphael, when you are in a meditative and clear state, like you are now, you are in a very open and receptive condition. Anything that I may even whisper into your mind you will pick up and receive. You are clear and very perceptive to anything I might say. This is the true order of prayer! I have revealed this to you before in your post 142D24.

You don't need to ever try to preconceive what I or your Heavenly Father might share with you, or even have questions to ask of us when you come to us in prayer. You only need to be clear and open to receive, even as you are this morning. This is the condition of your heart and mind. We may then guide you in whatever we desire. This is the true order of prayer. Oh, I wish more of our beloved children on earth would come to us, their Heavenly Parents, in such openness and desire to hear our words and to follow our counsels! We would then guide them gently, considering where they are in their progress in coming unto us, and reveal our will to them gradually. We love when our children consistently come to us in the true order of prayer often. This allows us to shape and bless them abundantly.'

Heavenly Mother then reached out and touched my eyes with her fingers. 'Raphael, I want to show you how many of our children really are coming to Jesus Christ, your Heavenly Father or me in a state of humble and open prayer.'

She withdrew her hand from my eyes, and then I felt to look to my left side. I saw my Heavenly Mother looking there too.

I then saw with my spiritual eyes, somehow, all of the children of God now in mortality! I felt like Moses described, where he beheld the earth, even all of it, discerning all by the Spirit of God:

Moses 1: 27-28-

And it came to pass, as the voice was still speaking, Moses cast his eyes and beheld the earth, yea, even all of it; and there was not a particle of it which he did not behold, discerning it by the Spirit of God.

And he beheld also the inhabitants thereof, and there was not a soul which he beheld not; and he discerned them by the Spirit of God; and their numbers were great, even numberless as the sand upon the sea shore.

Heavenly Mother spoke: 'Raphael, you are able to see all of the inhabitants of the earth now, by my Spirit which is upon you. We who are Gods may have this view anytime we desire.

Look now and see how many truly seek to be open and who are humble when they pray to God.'

I then looked with the intention to see how many openly and humbly prayed to God in their lives. These individuals appeared to me as little lights among the vastness of all the others of humanity. There were relatively very few, for I could see hundreds, and hundreds before I could see one who was lit up with the Spirit of God.

Heavenly Mother spoke: 'Those who you see lit up are those who come to us in a pleasing way, being open and humble before us, and who are committed to following their impressions in prayer. It saddens us when so many of our very elect are not yet in a state of open, humble prayer, even occasionally in their lives. How can we lead them and communicate to these if they, of their own will and desire, won't even try to connect to us in prayer and meditation? They are so busy living their lives that they don't slow down and even try to connect to us, in whatever way they may wish.'

I then wondered in my mind how many in the religion I had chosen, the Latter-day Saints, were now in a posture of petitioning God in open and humble prayer? Heavenly Mother spoke: 'Look, and see, Raphael.'

I then looked and saw the group of LDS members, and saw about the same few percentage of those who were praying with open and humble minds and hearts to God, as I had seen before. I wondered how this could be, even with the abundant scriptures and revelations available to these members.

Heavenly Mother spoke: 'Raphael, it is not how available the truths of heaven are to our children, but it is their desires to connect to us, their Gods, that determines their open minds and hearts. There are so many active in the LDS church that have been lulled away into carnal security (2 Nephi 28: 21). They feel they have received and need no more (verse 27). Well did Nephi speak about those who were once enlightened, then felt they have received enough that they need no more:

2 Nephi 28: 30-

"For behold, thus saith the Lord God: I will give unto the children of men line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little; and blessed are those who hearken unto my precepts, and lend an ear unto my counsel, for they shall learn wisdom; for unto him that receiveth I will give more; and from them that shall say, We have enough, from them shall be taken away even that which they have."

Those who reject any further light are worse off than those who are just beginning to receive even a small degree of our enlightenment.'

I looked again and could see so very few in the LDS church who questioned religious things at all, for I perceived they felt their leaders would receive this and they didn't need to worry. I saw the great spirit of complacency and blindness come upon the greater part of the Latter-day Saints. I was chagrined by the malaise! I then spoke to my mother who was in front of me:

'Oh my Heavenly Mother, isn't there something we can do to awaken my fellow members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints?'

She turned to me and quoted a scripture in Luke 16: 31-

"And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead." (see the parable of Lazarus and the rich man, Luke 16: 19-31)

'Raphael, when our Latter-day Saints refuse to receive more truth from us, their Gods, and won't be open or humble as they often once were in an earlier time in their religious life, they will not be persuaded, even though we send you, our archangel, to them, with a voice of thunder to shake the earth. When they are no longer open, they will reject all future promptings that counter their religious views.

What we will do instead is to launch them into great calamity and tribulations, like the rest of the wicked on your earth. There will be some then who awaken and come to us in humility and openness of their hearts, and begin to question their religious moorings.'

My vision of the vast sea of humanity on earth then vanished. Heavenly Mother said I had written accurately in my journal my experience with her. She then smiled and departed."

Luke 18:1-8
1 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;

2 Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:

3 And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.

4 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;

5 Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.

6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.

7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?

8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

83F8-83F15: "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."

Luke 18:10-14
10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.

11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.

12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.

13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.

14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

145I3-145I11, from Heavenly Father: "He spoke: 'Raphael, you are open and receptive to me, and therefore I am open and giving to you. I give to our faithful elect as fast as they may receive, and understand, and do my will. When they are ready, I give more. You are now ready to receive more truths from me.

Your wife recently read a book on how flawed people are in making judgments on each other. This may also happen when our children read scriptures, for they may interpret them to their liking and never inquire of us. There are many hidden truths and different meaning than they might suppose in the scriptures.

Last night your Heavenly Mother quoted 2 Nephi 9:42 where Jacob, the brother of Nephi, spoke about considering oneself to be a fool before God. This means that when our children pray to us, they need to consider that they would be very foolish to think they know of themselves how a certain thing really is, without receiving a revelation first from God. The widowed sister who spoke in your sacrament meeting who had returned from her LDS church mission had supposed her emotions were the Spirit, and that judgment in her mind further closed her to our true revelation and Spirit.

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.

Jesus Christ spoke of the humble publican that was acceptable and open to God:

Luke 18:10-14-

"Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one was a Pharisee, and the other a publican.

The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.

I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.

And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me, a sinner.

I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted."

Raphael, we justify the ones who are humble, open and receptive, even to remaking and reshaping their own perspectives and minds. To these we will send our Holy Spirit and Holy Ghost, and lead them surely back into our presence. We desire our petitioning sons and daughters to become like little children to us, believing what we say and allowing us to endow them with a new perspective and view. (see Luke 18:15-17). We love their openness and their humble prayers. To them we will abundantly send our Spirit!

Raphael, you may wonder why your Heavenly Mother and I spend a lot of time teaching you about openness in prayer, rather than the great mysteries of the universe. The reason is that we want the manner of how we wish our children to approach us to be very clearly understood. Each has responsibility for their own salvation, and needs to confirm all things directly with us, through our Spirit. It is in this way that they will be assured that they are not being led astray by their own imaginations, or those of their spiritual leader, family, or friend. We want all to receive the light of our countenance without being covered by clouds of darkness or unsureness or falsehoods.

When they are in the state of the publican as given in the scripture, then we may lead them, and reveal gradually to them all things, even the great mysteries of the universe!'

I thanked my Heavenly Father so much for coming to me! I thanked him for his words and truths."

Luke 18:16-17
16 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

17 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.

185B2-185B11: "Heavenly Father then came alone, appearing to me in the domed room! He was bright and seemed very happy. He spoke: 'Raphael, we have sent our elect to the earth in many families that are not necessarily religious or God-fearing. There are many who will need to fully reverse the direction that they are currently living in. They have been born into circumstances foreign to a humble, open and prayerful life. They will need to make great changes in how they currently live.

Others of our elect are already believing in us, their Gods. However, there are many ideas they yet will need to discard as the knowledge of God fills their minds and hearts.

The one characteristic of our elect is that they all hear our voice and want to obey our words when they receive them. We are not doing any coercive methods to influence them to change, but are filling them with new truths and ideas that they before had never heard nor considered. They are being taught by our own servants who gradually introduce the gospel of Jesus Christ, from simple truths to a more detailed base of knowledge. They are taught in small groups, but to them it will seem that they are being taught individually and not as part of a group of very interested individuals. They are our elect that your Heavenly Mother and I have chosen, and are our receptive children that we know.

Raphael, there has never been a time in the history of your mortal earth where the hearts and minds of so many need to be prepared so quickly! Never before has a new spiritual realm been coming so soon, where almost all of the previous realm needs to be dropped, and a new elevation in thought, in desires of the heart, and in obedience will be required. And yet, this is the path for all of our elect. They will desire to live in this higher spiritual state once they know it is coming. They will be willing to sacrifice all they possess in order to become part of Zion in the terrestrial world. We will enliven their entire souls with the fire of our Spirit, and they will gladly and willingly accept these truths and a new perspective and life.

When these, our humble elect, come to Zion, they will truly have become as children. Thus will the scripture given by Jesus Christ be fulfilled:

Luke 18:16-17

"But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein."

Our Beloved Son saw the day when the kingdom of God would come in terrestrial glory upon the earth, and when he would reign personally among men and women in the millennium. He referred to our elect who would be invited to enter the gates of Zion in this scripture. Each would need to be like a little child, with nothing from their previous life except their physical body and a great desire to please God and conform to the laws of Zion. In this way, the entire society of Zion will be childlike and very teachable. They will all know the Lord, from the least to the greatest:

Jeremiah 24:7

"And I will give them an heart to know me, that I am the Lord: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return unto me with their whole heart."

Jeremiah 31:34

"And they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, 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 thanked my Heavenly Father for his additional clarification on the awakening of his elect in the coming days. I felt the spirit in abundance as he spoke to me and instructed me this morning."

______________________________

Luke 22:43
43 And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him.

15A7-15A8, from R: "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.'"

The Gospel According to St John

Sun, Dec 10, 2023
This reference to the disciple that Jesus loved was not the same John who wrote the gospel of John (this was the brother of James, both sons of Zebedee). The one whom Jesus loved was in reality his own son, John the Beloved, the same named John the Revelator, in the flesh and later translated (see D&C 7). His mother was Mary Magdalen, the wife of Jesus.

This record was written by John, the brother of James, and not by the John who was the disciple that Jesus loved. This I confirmed in prayer on 12-10-2023.

John 1:3-5
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

143D3-143D5: "I knelt in front of this mural and asked for my Heavenly Mother to come, for I felt she would come and enlighten me this morning.

Heavenly Mother then appeared to the left of the mural, and shone her heavenly intense light of the Holy Ghost upon me! I felt so uplifted and enlightened, and I was filled also with her love and acceptance. I knew she and Heavenly Father were the source of all light and truth in all their entire creations.

She spoke: 'Raphael, your Father and I are the source of all light and truth that comes into our galaxy which houses all of our creations. We receive this light through the immensity of space from our first parent Gods. We shine our light into our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, and he shines this light also upon all of our children.

John 1:3-5–

"All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.""

Sun, Apr 28, 2013
Christ is the great creator, the life of all things, the light of me. Unfortunately, most people are in darkness and don't comprehend the light of Jesus Christ.

Jesus, the master healer and physician, knows us intimately, even before he suffered for our sins and griefs. He knows what is in man. He created man and woman, and knows how to heal us, how to bless us with the right blessings.

John 3:8
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.

127D6-127D14, from Heavenly Father: "He immediately spoke to me:

'Raphael, all that your Heavenly Mother has spoken last night and all that you have written in your journal last night and this morning I approve. I too love the beautiful sacred music that fills our courts above. I love to send our Holy Spirit whenever I feel it would enhance and bless my children.

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."

We bless our children with our light, our Holy Spirit, as it seems to us good. We love to enhance and strengthen our children with our Spirit. You cannot tell when we will do so, but this is always from us, your Gods. We inspire our children with beautiful music that uplifts and sets the tone for our message, or that prepares our children for our Holy Spirit.

Your Heavenly Mother, Jesus Christ, and I work as one when we send our Spirit. We have one purpose and objective in sending our Holy Spirit upon the children of this eternity, and that is to lead them to us, to instruct them and guide them into all truth, and to comfort and bless them.

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.'

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his message. He smiled and then I heard the song of a meadowlark in Heavenly Mother's upper garden in a nearby tree! I knew he sent that music from the bird to me, to uplift me and bring me joy and a thrill! I thanked him for all the beautiful music all around me!"

See my notes in Luke 15:4-5 under 188H4-188H10.

John 3:16-21
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

Thu, May 2, 2013
Jesus came to save us, to give us light, not to condemn us. As far as healing goes, his light is come into the world, and if men reject the light, and love darkness rather than light, this condemns them. Evil hates light, light heals and is synonymous with truth. Light is healing to those who accept Christ as the giver of the light.

John 4:1
1 When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,

96J12-96J22: "Heavenly Father spoke first:

'Raphael, we are pleased in how you are open and respond so well to our inspiration. After conference, you were musing over President Russell M. Nelson's role in our last days events. The thought came to you that he was a prophet, only a false prophet, based on all we had said to you.

We wish our people would follow the admonition of John found in 1 John 4:1:

"Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world."

However, the members of the church now very rarely try the spirits of men and women. Instead, they believe that the prophet, or the combined voice of the twelve apostles, cannot lead the people astray. They rely on promises repeated by many of the recent presidents of the church. President Wilford Woodruff said "the Lord will never permit me or any other man who stands as president of the Church to lead you astray. It is not in the program. It is not in the mind of God." (see Discourses of Wilford Woodruff, p. 212-213).

This statement was made in error, for we will allow any man who aspires to any leadership position to lead his constituents, if they are willing to follow him, whether in any religious organization or any other. We fiercely adhere to the agency of man, and let all men choose what they wish. This is true also in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

There are some among the leadership and the members who believe God cannot remove them out of their place, because of promises that have been made by previous leaders. This too is in error. We will allow a leader, who may be a false prophet, to lead the people astray if the members don't try the spirit of that man. They need to try his spirit by asking humbly of God whether he be a true prophet or not. They need to ask in faith, being open to the Spirit and prepared to act on what we reveal.

We have clearly told you that we no more inspire the current leadership of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Since President Nelson, the First Presidency, and the Twelve Apostles claim otherwise, they are not revealing the truth. In this way they are preaching falsehoods, claiming something that we do not give to them. They are all therefore false prophets, for they are leading the people astray, not having our authority or our inspiration. They teach their own doctrine, or those of previous leaders or from scriptures. Without our continual guidance, they will in not many years have established many more programs and doctrines of their own making.

The thought you had this afternoon that President Russell M. Nelson is a false prophet was given to you from me, in anticipation of what I wanted to speak to you about tonight.

You also wondered if he was the false prophet spoken of in the Book of Revelation (see Revelation 16:13, 19:20, and 20:10). We are not prepared to reveal who this man will be as yet. In our due time, we will reveal to you who this will be.

Our admonition to all is to try the spirits, and continually verify who speaks our words! Seek your own revelation, which is a firm foundation.

They both smiled. Heavenly Father looked calm and very assured as he spoke to me. I felt convinced that I had heard him correctly and had correctly written his words down in my journal. I hope all who read this will also ask to verify if I speak the truth from God the Father or not!

Heavenly Mother then spoke:

'Raphael, you have written your Father's words correctly. This is our word to you. None should rely on you or any other man or woman in the way our saints rely on their leaders. Brigham Young said this well in 1862:

"I am more afraid that this people have so much confidence in their leaders that they will not inquire for themselves of God whether they are led by him. I am fearful they settle down in a state of blind self-security, trusting their eternal destiny in the hands of the leaders with a reckless confidence that in itself would thwart the purposes of God in their salvation, and weaken that influence they could give their leaders, did they know for themselves, by the revelations of Jesus, that they are led in the right way. Let every man and woman know, by the whispering of the Spirit of God to themselves, whether their leaders are walking in the path the Lord dictates, or not. This has been my exhortation continually."
(Journal of Discourses 9:150)

Raphael, I witness to all truth, being the personage of the Holy Ghost among my children on the earth. I will witness to you and to every open and humble son or daughter, the truthfulness of all things. However, my children need to sincerely ask the Father, in the name of our Beloved Son, and then I will witness to them. If they never ask, I do not generally witness, for I allow them to continue in whatever course they are in without my witness and revelation.

Many feel that because so many others believe and bear testimony of the prophet, that he is a true prophet, that it must therefore be true. This is a false notion. We also have given as a truth that each must come unto us, their God, and then we will reveal the truth to them directly. These are our precious children, seeking the truth! We will not let them go astray if they will inquire diligently of us, their God, as we have prescribed!'

I looked into the sober eyes of both of my Heavenly Parents. They spoke truth to me! It rang so true!

I thanked them for the clearness of their words. I asked that I be given strength to act in all that they may require of me. I said I loved them so deeply and would always remember them and keep their commandments.

They both smiled, looked at each other and then turned. The column of light then reappeared and they passed into the light and returned to their glorious temple to the west. This concluded my evening prayer tonight."

______________________________

John 4:7-11
7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.

8 (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)

9 Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.

10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.

11 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?

130F4-130F32: "I next knelt on the little outcropping above the circling waters and faced God's temple to the west. I prayed for my Heavenly Father to come as he promised last night.

My Heavenly Father then came in a column of light from his temple, just like he also arrived to me last night! He was bright and shining to all the region round about. I felt his light and the feeling of love come into me. However, this light did not pass through me, but stopped inside of me. It was not like the intense light of the Holy Ghost, from my Heavenly Mother that entirely passed through me so that I had a very transparent feeling. Nevertheless, I was filled with light, love and clarity from my Heavenly Father's light.

He then spoke: 'Raphael, the light from my being is the light of my Holy Spirit. This is less intense than the light that comes to you from your Heavenly Mother, who sends forth her light of the Holy Ghost. We have agreed, prior to this eternity in which you live, that she would be the one to send forth the intense light of the Holy Ghost to our children, and act in that role. I was to shed forth the Holy Spirit to our children, as well as our Beloved Son once he were to become a God, ordained to use our power. In all cases, the intense light of the Holy Ghost comes from your Heavenly Mother in this eternity. We all three Gods have power to do this, but she is the one designated to do so.

Your Heavenly Mother also has such tenderness and love that she has developed since we met and married on our own mortal earth! She loves so deeply our children, from our own that were born to us in our mortal life together, to the billions of children in each eternity since then. Her love flows in abundance from her very being, coupled with the intense light of the Holy Ghost. In every way, she is the perfect Holy Ghost to our children!

Nephi of old spoke of three distinct Gods whom you worship:

2 Nephi 31:21–"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, which is one God, without end, Amen."

We are one in purpose and doctrine, and do all our works in transparency before each other, for we are one. We witness and testify of each other, for we know all actions and intents of each other, for we are the three Gods of the world upon which you stand, and are fully united as one.

Our individual roles are different, but our purpose is the same. When we interface with our children, we act in our individual roles. Your Heavenly Mother is the mother of each of our children, and has born each one from her resurrected and glorified body. They grew in her as spirits, from my holy seed in her womb, and were shaped and formed by her, each unique and our beloved child.

Once our spirit child was born, Immanuel being the very first one born in this eternity, she nursed and nourished each with great motherly care and tenderness. They grew under our constant care until they were of full stature as our spirit sons or daughters, in our very image! Their eternal intelligence filled the spirit body we created from elemental matter, to form a unique and beautiful child who looked like either your Heavenly Mother or me, a female spirit daughter or a male spirit son of God! They were destined to one day become like us too, as a God. The choice, however, was entirely their own, for they could choose their own path and determine their own future. We, their loving Heavenly Parents, would continue to nurture, comfort, inspire, and direct them in the ways of our gospel, and encourage them gently to follow our ways.

Our elect children are those who choose to follow our promptings and directions we give to them. I speak to our sons and daughters with my Holy Spirit, as does Jesus Christ, our Great Redeemer, for this eternity. We have also called this spirit the light of Christ, for it is the same light we receive from our first parent Gods who create if from elemental matter and send it forth to all of their creations. Your Heavenly Mother also receives this same light, and sends it forth with much more intensity and we call this the Holy Ghost, or her Spirit. We speak to our sons and daughters in the flesh through our Holy Spirit, the light of Christ, and the Holy Ghost, which is all light, coming from our first parent Gods.

We couple with this light our thoughts, words, feelings, and everything we wish to communicate or share with our beloved children. Our elect hear our voice of the Spirit, and then keep our commandments by obeying what we ask of them. They all have agency, or the power to choose, but our elect make time for us in their lives, and choose us above the world. Our elect will fulfill their destiny to become like us, their Heavenly Mother and Heavenly Father, to become couple Gods in eternity! They will receive a fulness of joy, and fulfill the very measure of their creation in the day your Heavenly Mother and I chose and created them.

When light comes into our galaxy and into the very presence of your Mother and I, we shed this light forth upon all of our creations. We have chosen Immanuel, our Firstborn Son, and have channeled this light in abundance through him. We chose and named him to become Jehovah, our chosen Great Redeemer. He in turn was sustained by our light and power we funneled through him. He was the promised Messiah and Savior of the world!

When he came to earth he was born as Jesus Christ, and fulfilled his mission to redeem all mankind who would come to him, accepting him as their Redeemer and personal Savior. It is through Jesus Christ that all of our other children come to us, their Heavenly Parents, for they each need the great cleansing and merciful power of our Beloved Son. Once clean and pure, he may introduce them again to us, their loving parents. We will then receive them with open arms, leading them gently through our Spirit like we have always done since their birth as spirit children to us.

If our children hearken to our voice, and keep our words and commandments, they will receive the Holy Ghost as their constant companion! This is the very presence of the Spirit of their Heavenly Mother! What a comfort she is to each of our faithful sons or daughters in their trek back into our presence! She, like no other, may lead them tenderly, caring for their every need and want, with her accumulated love and wisdom from the ages, and from her knowledge of how she formed them and birthed them, and what she envisioned them to become. She is the ideal one to nourish and guide them constantly in returning back into our holy presence!'

Heavenly Father was then crying for joy, for the wonderful companion he had in his loving wife and companion, and in her tender role as the Holy Ghost to their children! I saw his tears, and knew immediately from his Spirit why he was crying.

At that moment he turned towards the temple in the stance, and another beam of light burst upon us! Heavenly Mother, in her beauty and great glory, stepped forth from the light, came forth and embraced her husband, my Father, and kissed him tenderly! My heart melted and I too burst into tears, for such a tender moment I had never witnessed!

When my Father and I had regained some of our composure, Heavenly Mother turned to me, with her eyes also moistened, and spoke:

'Raphael, you have witnessed our deep love we share together! Oh, how we love and cherish each other!'

My Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother were then holding hands and held each other with their other closest arms around each other. They were both facing me.

Heavenly Father then spoke:

'Raphael, stand and join us in a Godly embrace!'

I stood and came before them. They then each let go of their hands, and wrapped their free hands around me! They each kissed me and cried again, as did I.

Heavenly Mother spoke: 'Raphael, you have felt and received the love of God in abundance this day! You are our beloved child, as are each of those we created and I birthed in our very image. Oh, we desire our children to become like us, for this was the very purpose in their creation! For those who are true and faithful, they too will have a very intimate and full Godly embrace with their Father and I, like you have experienced today.'

At that time, in our embrace, with their loving arms around me, I felt her intense light of the Holy Ghost beam into me and through me. We seemed like a bundle of intense light, so filled with love for each other. I will never forget this amazing moment!

My Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother then dropped their hands and both stood before me. They looked behind me, and I turned to see what they were looking at.

My Beloved Savior, Jesus Christ, was standing behind me, smiling. I turned and faced him. He was full of light and deep love and acceptance that flowed into me. I looked into his very compassionate eternity eyes, and knew he had fully suffered for all my weaknesses and sins, and freely forgiven me of them! I knew that I was clean only because of his merits, and not my own.

He then stepped forward and embraced me and kissed me on both of my cheeks! I started crying again for joy.

Jesus spoke: 'Raphael, you are clean and pure before us, your Gods! You are fully redeemed, and brought back into our presence. What our Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother have shared with you today is all true, and you have written their words in your journal correctly.

We want a tender moment like this for each of our faithful elect sons and daughters of God. This event will deeply impress them and motivate them to continue to be true and faithful to the end, regardless of the trials of their journey back into our presence.'

My time with Jesus and my Heavenly Parents started to fade, and I found myself writing in my bedroom in my journal. I immediately thought of this scripture;

1 John 4:7-11 "Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.

He that loveth not knoweth not God, for God is love.

In this way manifested the love of God towards us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another."

I feel so weak, because of my mortal weaknesses, and yet I feel so strong because of the love of my Father, Mother and my Great Redeemer Jesus Christ! I feel somewhat I think like Nephi–"He hath filled me with his love, even unto the consuming of my flesh." (2 Nephi 4:21).

I closed my morning prayer with such gratefulness for the tender mercies and love of God that have been poured out upon me so abundantly today!"

John 4:13-14
13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:

14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

189C21-189C26, from Heavenly Mother: "She spoke to my unconscious mind:

'Raphael, if you endure all things, and continue to come to us and obey our commandments, you will surely enter Zion. In the end, you will have eternal life with all the faithful saints who have endured to the end.

Along the way, we strengthen and encourage every one of our elect. We want them to continue to have faith and not be discouraged in their efforts to progress and endure.

In our estimation, "endure to the end" does not mean just hanging on. Instead, it embodies growth and progression, and a greater measure of our Spirit to enlighten their minds. Endurance means to grow, one step at a time, even by grace for grace. Endurance demonstrates to us the determination of their souls, and the inner desire to never give up. It requires our son or daughter to make available a good part of their lives in putting us first and dropping earthly concerns. Another synonym for endurance is feasting upon the word of God, and pressing forward in consistent faith and good works (2 Nephi 31:20).

We will reward our faithful saints, our righteous elect, with more revelation and truth, and continually more and more enlightenment. In such an upward growth state, our elect will be continually filled and spiritually fed. They will have deep reservoirs of spiritual nourishment and abiding peace. They will feel satisfied, and possess an ever binding level of confidence, trust and faith in us, their Gods. This is the "well of water springing up unto everlasting life" (see John 4:14).

Those who are unaquainted with the fruits of the Spirit, and who have rejected our gentle promptings, know no part of the meaning of enduring to the end, for it seems foolish to them. They can't understand how faithful Christians maintain their peace and happiness, even in the midst of difficult circumstances and trials. None of the princes of your fallen world know this, for they have succumbed to the natural man, and cannot know these things (see 1 Corinthians 2:8,14).

Raphael, we will surely lead our open and humble followers, even as fast as they wish to receive and conform their lives to our desires. We will always lead them into life eternal, by the gospel standards and truths we reveal and confirm to their souls.'"

Jesus is the living water, and his power, like water that we drink, will also heal us continually as we trust in him and receive guidance and direction from his hand.

John 4:19-21
19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.

20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.

21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.

36E9-36E12, from R: "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."

John 5:2-14
2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.

3 In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.

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.

5 And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.

6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?

7 The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.

8 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.

9 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.

10 The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.

11 He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.

12 Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?

13 And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.

14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.

24C5, from R: "I recalled today a short conversation we had in our energy class about Raphael. See this reverence: 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.'

This account involved the angel Raphael, who did this troubling of the waters! This was confirmed to me during the recent class by the other class members there. I received also a witness that it was I, Raphael, who did this."

John 5:19-23
19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.

20 For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.

21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.

22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:

23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.

63O2-63O5: "When I knelt to pray I was in the same location as last night, not far from the end of the path in Heavenly Mother's upper garden, near the granite cliff. I was still in the presence of my Heavenly Parents who were before me. I thought of Jesus coming and he then came up the path and stood on the left side of Heavenly Mother. They all three were before me! I had no need to go to the white gate or the tree of life now.

I thanked them immensely for being before me in my morning prayer! I then asked Jesus S.A.'s question, "If Heavenly Father wasn't the savior of his world, then what about the scripture where Christ says I can do nothing but what I have seen the Father do, in reference to being sacrificed?" (See John 5:19-20 'Then answered Jesus and said unto them, verily, verily, I say unto you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do, for what things so ever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. For the Father loveth the Son and sheweth him all things that himself doeth; and he will show him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.' (See also John 8:28).

Jesus answered my question:

'These words in the book of John refer to me following the pattern of living of my Heavenly Father and my Heavenly Mother who stand before you this day. They also refer to me following in obedience to my Heavenly Parents the directions they gave me while in mortality. I taught and lived their way of happiness, their gentle and loving manners, and they showed through me, their Beloved Son, their love for all mankind. This scripture was not meant to include that I would follow my Father in being the chosen Redeemer of the world for all his children. That was a unique calling only I received. Our Father was not a Redeemer or Messiah on the earth when he and Heavenly Mother lived. During the time of my suffering for the sins of mankind, my Father and Mother were near to me, continually showing me love and acceptance for the great mission of redemption I was fulfilling. You, Raphael, also came to me as the angel of comfort and blessing while I suffered in the Garden of Gethsemane. You acted as the conduit for their healing to me in my most difficult moments.'

I thanked my Savior for these words and for the fulfillment of his mission of the Messiah. I felt so deeply grateful to him!"

Jesus does whatever the Father does, and therefore the Father also healed or heals. The Father taught and showed Jesus how to heal, for he showed all things that he (the Father) did and does. This includes quickening the dead, which the Father did, and the son also does. All judgment also is committed to the son, including who to heal and how they should be healed. If we don't honor the son, we don't honor the Father; conversely, if we honor the son, we honor the Father.

John 6:51-52
51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

52 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?

Thu, May 2, 2013
We need to come to Jesus, and partake of his spirit, his life, his love until it becomes part of us and is in us and with us always. We can live life like the Savior lived life--we can have his countenance within us, and feel his promptings and directions always. We can always have his presence before us and as our rearward. We truly come to the Father through living a Christian life, always hanging on his promptings and virtues.

John 8:28-30
28 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.

29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.

30 As he spake these words, many believed on him.

127I4-127I16: "Heavenly Father spoke to me: 'Raphael, your Heavenly Mother and I have shown you the olive trees the last two days in order to teach you important information about gently leading our receptive elect children. So much imagery and lessons may be taught with such allegories and parables.

In preparing our beloved Son, Jesus Christ, for his mortal ministry, we restored to him gradually his full unconscious mind. He therefore had no veil of forgetfulness over his mind during his ministry. He remembered our teachings in the pre-mortal life where we taught often with parables. He then taught these same truths to our children on the earth.

John 8:28-30

"Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.

And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.

As he spake these words, many believed on him."

Raphael, we taught all of our children many truths from the beginning in their pre-mortal life. Jesus Christ also taught what to say to the people in his future ministry. Your Mother and I taught him and commissioned him in our temple and on this celestial orb. He was obedient and very prepared to fulfill his critical mission when he came to the earth.'

Heavenly Mother then spoke: 'Raphael, our Son, Jesus Christ, had been equally taught by both your Father and me. However, we gave him a charge to keep my presence and influence among our children on the earth hidden, and to refer to me as the Holy Ghost, and call me a man. He was true to all we commanded him.

We were both always with Jesus Christ, even as we are now always with you. He lived in a fallen world, as do you, but we were next to him in our higher celestial realm. His mind was fully activated with no veil of division between his conscious and unconscious mind since the Mount of Temptation. He saw us frequently and saw the spirits who surrounded our mortal children. He had been given our power and authority, and had exercised this godly power in his pre-mortal life. He continued to act in his power and authority on the earth, performing great miracles and teaching our truths with our Holy Spirit. We gave him abundantly of our light and supported him continually.

Even so, Jesus Christ "received not the fulness at the first, but received grace for grace" and gradually became more filled with our power. (D&C 93:12-14). At the end of his earthly ministry, he received a fulness of our glory, even all power in heaven and on earth. (D&C 93:16-17) He had the veil removed from his mind, but still he was subjected fully to the mortal, fallen, telestial world. It took him effort to connect to us and to his pre-mortal teachings and memories. He was very diligent in seeking us, his Father and Mother. We revealed to him our presence and revelations through his unconscious mind just as we do to you and to all of our children.'

My Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother had been holding hands while talking to me. They then both reached out to me who was on my knees, and lifted me up. I stood between them and we turned and started walking up the path from the overlook that leads into the large fir forest to the northeast. Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother were on each side of me.

Heavenly Father then spoke again: 'Raphael, we have learned that we have most success in influencing our mortal children as we gradually and steadily lead them along. If we push our truths and revelations too fast, our receptive child isn't able to understand as well as we would hope. We therefore daily give here a little, and there a little. We give our child time to think about our truths, and then we enlighten him or her a little more. Thus, by degrees, we lead them even to a fulness of our truths.

We have revealed to you the maximum amount of our revelations as fast as we feel that will allow you and our holy angels and servants time to absorb and understand them. Were we to go faster, you would miss important concepts and not be able to even record what you see and hear. We are very pleased that you have been diligent in reviewing our revelations that we have given to you in your recent past. These web posts will continue to build upon each other, giving you and those who read and ponder them, a gradual foundation of knowledge.'

Heavenly Mother then spoke: 'Raphael, once your words become compiled and indexed, and very great, we will reveal them to our faithful. We will do this by degrees and gradually, so that they too may understand and have time to absorb our new truths. For those who diligently seek us, and who are ready and study your words, we will reveal them from the beginning, even as we revealed them to you and our mortal angels. This will necessitate dividing your revelations into sections. The first section will be revealed to all of our diligent and elect children, but the following sections will not. It will be only when each child believes, understands, and is receptive to that which they have received, that they may proceed to higher sections, given one at a time. We will do this by revealing to them the next link to the next section of your revelations by personal revelation. They will thus be able to study our words through you from the beginning, and gradually accept and absorb our truths as fast as they wish, and by their own diligence. At a certain point, we will reveal to them the first index. This will include only the posts you have written to a point. Subsequent indexes will have more references, including later posts.

When our children have studied and understood all of our words through you, they will have access to all of your posts and the highest most inclusive index. They will have accepted and confirmed our truths to that point. We control access to your later revelations to them by these methods. We are the ones who will reveal to them the newest web links that they desire to read and study more. Those who are not diligent or inquiring will never have access to your full revelations.

I thanked my loving Heavenly Parents for their beautiful and clear revelations to me this morning! We had arrived in the fir forest by this time. They both dropped my hands and then held each other's hands. They smiled and then gradually ascended up into the treetops and into the sky."

192I4-192I10: "I then heard my Father's voice but did not see him. I looked around but couldn't locate him. Here are his words I heard in my mind: 'Raphael, I have chosen to be before you this morning in my highest celestial realm, but not make myself visible to you. You have been pondering over the marvelous revelations we have given to you, even since your energy class in April 2013. At that time, you kept wondering if you had really seen with your spirit eyes your Heavenly Mother, our Son Jesus Christ and me throughout the day in your class. It was very much a revelatory day. We spoke to your mind through our quiet voices, and these were very clear and impactful to you.

Now that it has been over eight years since this occurred, you have continued seeking our presence, and inquiring of us. We have gradually led you to where you are today, with vast knowledge of our ways and our mysteries. Sometimes these have been overwhelming for you to think about, for it is all so amazing to you at times.

Raphael, this is all true, all that you have received gradually. We have shared with you, because you have been so diligent and have sought us humbly with an open and believing heart and mind.

All of the events of the lost tribes of Israel now being on the outer earth, and all the revelations we have shared fully with you are true! Move forward in faith, and more truth and revelations await you, our humble servant. You have been chosen to reveal great truths to all of our faithful. We will not limit the scope of our bounteous truths from you and our elect. Soon the knowledge we possess will cover the earth, and our faithful elect will fully know us, their Gods, and know of these great truths that you have been shown. To us, all things are possible, and we will do our great work through our elect children like you.

Heavenly Father then appeared to me, smiling and beaming his bright light upon me. I felt so accepted and loved, even as his son in the flesh! Of myself, I am nothing; nor can do anything of God by myself, even as Jesus spoke of himself:

John 8: 28-29

"...then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.

And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him."

I thanked my Father to have revealed himself to me over these many years. I said I would be true to these revelations, and place my faith in him and my Heavenly Mother who speak to me, and guide me."

John 10:14-15
14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.

15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.

134G5-134G14: "Heavenly Father started talking to me, in my mind. I didn't see him:

'Raphael, what you have written about the way and manner we speak to you in your journal this morning is true. We love variety, and to approach our children in different ways. Right now I am speaking to your unconscious mind, in your thoughts and you cannot yet see me before you. However, you know it is I who speaks to you, and not yourself. You are able to perceive because you are in a meditative state, and because you have heard my voice many times before, and know my voice.

When my Beloved Son, Jesus Christ was in his ministry on the earth, he said this:

John 10:14-15–"I am the Good Shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.

As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for my sheep."

When on the earth, Jesus daily communed with your Heavenly Mother and I. He spoke to us throughout the day, and we spoke to him also daily in his personal prayers, just like you do. He came to the same celestial orb in his prayer, just like you do. He received personal revelation to his unconscious mind just like you do. We helped him become aware of our voice, the still small voice of our Holy Spirit and Holy Ghost. He came to know intimately both his Heavenly Mother and me, his Father while he was in the flesh.

Jesus was also an ordained God, and had been the great Jehovah in directing our prophets and faithful sons and daughters since the days of Adam and Eve. He had special gifts we endowed him with, even with the ability to have his conscious and unconscious minds merged after his experience on the Mount of Temptation. He therefore knew all men and women on the earth.

We also gave him great power to perform all sorts of miracles, proving to the people that he was the promised Messiah who should come. We confirmed to our faithful by our Spirit that he was their promised Redeemer, and they who were open and receptive, and knew our voice could hear and feel of or witness to their hearts and minds.

In all of this, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, grew by degrees, even during his mortal ministry:

D&C 93:12-14–"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 pattern Jesus took in gradually receiving a fullness, is the same pattern we plan for each of our beloved faithful elect children. We will lead them each along, as they are willing and open to receive our gentle promptings, and as they obey our words, spoken to them by our Spirit. This whole process will help them become even the mighty men and women of God that we desire them to become!'

Heavenly Father then appeared in person to me, in front of the pocketed rock wall! He was smiling and so full of light and glory! He then started fading away and then disappeared again.

I knew I had clearly heard and written his words to me, given to me in my thoughts. I thanked him in my mind, and I knew he heard my thoughts."

______________________________

John 13:34-35
34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

81H7-81H10: "Heavenly Father then spoke:

'Raphael, because you have experienced the ups and downs of life and have not controlled your mind in the past, you too have felt negative feelings of despair, anger, greed, and a host of unwanted emotions. This gives you greater understanding of your brothers and sisters on earth who dwell with the negative. You accept them because you have experienced similar strong emotions. You learn not to judge because you know how hard it is to change and to pull yourself out of difficult challenges in life. By loving and accepting them, you give them the freedom to change without them feeling judgment because of their poor choices and actions.

This is pure religion, godly religion, our way of living and accepting our beloved children! These are what the teachings of Jesus Christ, Our Beloved Son, meant. When he said for his disciples to love each other, he meant to accept them, regardless of weaknesses or their actions. They are to be supported and loved, not judged or criticized.'

Here is the scripture Heavenly Father was referring to:

John 13:34-35

"A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another."

I have been greatly enlightened today! I want to act in accepting and loving ways, never with judgment. I so love my Heavenly Parents for their own love and acceptance of me, their son who makes lots of mistakes. I want to extend to others what they have given and extended to me."

145F3-145F8, from Heavenly Mother: "She spoke: "Raphael, we wish that our faithful spend quality time with their loved ones, and make time for others in need.

Isaiah 1: 17

"Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow."

In seeking to bless others, they truly will be our emissaries of light and love for those to whom they minister.

John 13: 34-35

"A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another."

Your Father and I love each of you, our children deeply. Our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, has willingly laid down his life for each of our children. Surely, our elect should love and serve each other, and all those around them.'

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her beautiful and simple message! I thanked her for her deep love for each of us, her children. I thanked her for her light and love she showers continually upon me!"

187F12-187F17, from Heavenly Mother: "'Raphael, all of our celestial elect will receive deep joys and happiness from their New Jerusalem temple experiences. These will be the culminating days of their progression to becoming Gods in eternity. We want nothing to be a stumbling block for them at this time, or anything to counter their extreme emotions, deep satisfactions and sublime peace. These days will be remembered as great memories throughout their life in eternity.

For those of you who minister in the celestial temple, and others who labor for our faithful in the New Jerusalem and throughout the cities of Zion scattered over the earth, these will become satisfying one happy day after another. Working continually with a new group of the elect each day will bring such meaning and excitement daily to our faithful servants whom we have chosen. We too, your Heavenly Father and I, will frequent your administrations and share in the joys with you, our beloved children.

Your current society on earth values material gain and positions of wealth and notoriety. In our millennial day, there will be more emphasis and concern for members of one's family and neighbors in their community than oneself. The directive to "love one another, as I have loved you" (John 13:34) will become fully lived in our Zion communities. Crime will be non-existent. Our mortal children will share all things in common, allowing free access to goods and services for all. People will not take advantage of their neighbors, but will seek to be very contributing to those in need and the good of the community. Our love among men, women and children will be abundant, which will invite my Spirit to continually reside in their hearts. This will be a beautiful and wonderfully safe place in which to raise families. There will be no poor among them because of the generosity of the people.

With our Spirit in the hearts and minds of our mortal children, there will be no thought to judge or criticize others. This will be a very open society, with people loving sincerely their neighbor, regardless of their opinions or actions. Those who can give in service only a little will be equal in the minds of the people to those who are able to give a great deal.

There will be great unity of purpose and beliefs. This is because each will be free to pray and receive, or be free not to pray, and believe as they wish. Almost all will receive our Spirit, and will know the Lord, from the least to the greatest (Jeremiah 31:34). Once they know us, they will develop great confidence and love for all, even for those who may not act or think as they do. This love will envelop those outside their circle of believers and bring them in with love and acceptance to be friends. This idyllic mortal condition will be a wonderful place in which to live.

I could go on, but you are tired. We will bless you and our faithful servants abundantly for your patience, diligence, and goodly lives. Your joys will be very great in serving others in this great work of love.'"

199L12-199L17, from Heavenly Mother: "'Raphael, you, your wife and son spent the day celebrating the birthday of your oldest daughter. You took the entire afternoon and early evening focusing on her and her two children. She was so pleased and happy with the love you all showered upon her, making her birthday a big celebration.

The attention you gave to her and her two young boys is the type of love, care, and service that our elect will have for each other, even to those not in their families. They will be genuinely interested in the happiness and well-being of each other. This sort of love is rarely found in your telestial world except for parents' love to their children. The intensity of service and love will be similar to this love that some parents have for their children. They will study what service would delight their neighbors and then actively do it. This is akin to the love Jesus had for his disciples.

John 13: 34-35

"A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another."

When you felt tired today, you still pushed through and did the things that made your daughter and her two boys feel so special and happy. You didn't do your own will, but you did what pleased them. This is the type of love Jesus, our Beloved Son, showered upon his disciples and all the people he ministered to. He rarely thought of himself, or his own needs. When he had any free time, he often sought us, his Heavenly Parents in prayer. He then sought to do our will, and not his own. This was truly selfless service.

John 3: 30

"...because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me."

Love in the terrestrial realm focuses on the one who is being served. Love in your telestial world has waxed cold (see Matthew 24: 12). Often in your society, the love expressed or done for others has something in it for the one serving, rather than selfless love typical of our Zion society. In that realm, we won't have a people who have ulterior self-centered motives when giving service to others. The love in Zion is pure love, given freely without thought of personal compensation of any kind. The focus is also fully on the one being served, and not the one serving. This type of love will spread quickly among our faithful living in Zion, and will make a very peaceful and happy community. Here is where we will shine forth our love in our heavenly light upon all the people.'"

John 14:2
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.

137B12-137B14, from Heavenly Mother: " '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!'"

John 14:6-7,14-23
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.

20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.

21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?

23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

39B5-39B8, from Heavenly Father: "'Raphael, your experiences in your prayers provide a pattern of the interaction that we will have with all of our holy angels. They will be before our faces continually, as you are. You are providing the encouragement to the mortal angels to make this leap of faith to come unto us, through our Beloved Son.

Each of you has or will come through our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, in order to come unto us. He cleanses and prepares the souls of our children, by suffering for their sins and weaknesses. He purified you, and sanctifies you, to be able to come into our presence. This is his focus and his mission for our sons and daughters.

Once they have been sufficiently cleansed, he introduces them to us. This is spoken in 2 Nephi chapter 31-32, and in John 14:23: 'Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.'

For our holy angels, the thing that we desire for them to do, is to press forward with faith in Christ, and come unto us. We are the ones, their Heavenly Parents, who will continue to lead them along. We will give them their directions in all of their angelic ministry, as we have planned. Jesus, our Son, brings them to us. He has work to do with our other children, primarily our elect. This is why he has been absent mostly in all of our interchanges, Raphael. He does occasionally come when we need his presence, like last Sunday when he passed to you the bread and water, in the spirit realms.'"

126C7-126C21, from Heavenly Mother: "She spoke: 'Raphael, what you have recorded in your journal about your spiritual perceptions and sensations is true. Your replicated body is truly here in our heavenly home on this celestial orb located at the center of our galaxy. This great galaxy contains all of our creations that your Heavenly Father and I have made, save a few on our own celestial earth that was our first inheritance when we were ordained Gods.

Raphael, I am the Holy Ghost! I have been in this role since the beginning of this eternity. I will witness to my humble and open child who asks of God the truthfulness of these things. They too may know by the same light that you are receiving from me, with my message of these truths to their minds and hearts. These are all spiritually discerned by our children who live in the fallen telestial world.

I come to each of my beloved children from higher spiritual realms. What they discern comes to their unconscious mind and penetrates deep in their soul. My witness and Spirit are all very real and tangible. I consistently witness of the truth of all things. I am no respecter of persons and will reveal all things to any of my children who humbly and diligently ask of me, in the name of my beloved Son, Jesus Christ, even if these words you write are true. As they are open and receptive, I will pour out a spiritual witness upon them that they are all true!

Raphael, today I wish to address some more of the way we approach our children and open up ourselves to those who diligently and consistently seek us, their Gods. We generally do not reveal ourselves physically before our children in their telestial fallen world. We live in a much higher celestial sphere where we may come next to our inquiring and prayerful child without them realizing we are nearby. They cannot see us, for we need to quicken or elevate them to even be able to discern our presence. However, this is all very real when one of us comes and spiritually witnesses to the one praying for us to come.

We witness to their hearts and mind by sending our Spirit. I am the one who sends the more intense light of the Holy Ghost upon my children. I know exactly how they communicate and discern spiritual communication, for we have shared many times in their pre-mortal existence on this celestial orb before they came to earth. We have always talked to them in the unconscious part of their mind, even at that earlier time.

When they came to earth, the unconscious part of their mind was divided off from their conscious part, with a veil of forgetfulness between them. However, we have continued speaking to this same unconscious part of their mind. This requires spiritual sensitivity to discern and interpret what we communicate now that they are in a fallen world. This more difficult situation is part of the mortality test of the telestial environment. It was brought upon them by the fall of man. All men and women since Adam and Eve had similar struggles in hearing and discerning our words.

The process to hear us involves the preparation of the minds and hearts of our mortal children. If our son or daughter will quiet down their mind and heart and eliminate distractions as much as possible, they will be in preparation to hear the voice of the Spirit. They then need to agree in their heart that they will believe and follow whatever they may receive, trusting in faith that one of us Gods will come to them and speak to them. We will not reveal much of our words unless we have an assurance that our son or daughter will act on our words.

We reveal more and more gradually, each time verifying that our child has heard our spiritual voice to their mind and heart, and has acted on this new revelation. As they obey our Spirit, we will steadily give them more. If they reject our direction by not acting or in not believing that this inner voice came from us then we will not give much more. Why would we continue to reveal to them if they don't act on what we say?

For the diligent believer and one who obeys our words that they have received from our Spirit, we will give more. They should continue to test the truthfulness of their directions, for we will always confirm this again by our Holy Spirit, or by my Holy Ghost. They will know this is from us, for they will feel enlightened, or filled with our light and with our words we communicate to them in this Spirit. Our words may be of comfort, of emotion and encouragement, or of direction or counsel. We are pleased when our children act in faith, or even a desire to believe. They may be assured that we will always guide them along, even as they act in diligence and consistency.

We therefore prove our elect children while they are in their mortal state. If they are true and faithful to us, and keep our commandments and continue to be open to our Spirit, they will then one day receive a confirmation from Jesus Christ, their Redeemer. Jesus Christ will somehow communicate, usually by the Holy Spirit, that our son or daughter is now fully accepted and has been proven. Our child will then have an encounter with Jesus, discerning him somehow in an impactful spiritual experience where they deeply feel his love and acceptance. This is called the second comforter experience. I will add my comments.

This is described by Jesus in John 14:15-18, 21, 23

15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; (Raphael, this is my Spirit, even the Holy Ghost. I will come to my obedient child, providing comfort and guidance. I will be his or her constant companion if they have received the gift of the Holy Ghost. Also, we asked Jesus to speak of me as a male god, or "he", since the time of my revealing was not yet, but would be revealed in the last days through you, Raphael.)

17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him; but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. (This is the presence of the Holy Ghost, even me, the Heavenly Mother of each of my beloved sons and daughters!)

18 I will not leave you comfortless; I will come to you." (Raphael, here Jesus shifts talking about the Holy Ghost as a comforter in verse 17 to himself becoming a comforter in verse 18. He is now describing a second comforter experience, when he himself would come to our diligent and faithful child.)

21 "He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him."

23 "Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man (or woman) love me, he (she) will keep my words: and my Father will love him (her), and we will come unto him (her), and make our abode with him(her)" (Emphasis and comments added by Heavenly Mother in parentheses)

Raphael, in verse 21 and 23, Jesus Christ states that he will personally come to our elect obedient child and even bring the Father. Together they will make their abode with our child.

This same experience is what quickly follows the second comforter event: After Jesus manifests his love and acceptance to our faithful child, he will then soon introduce the Father and me. We, the Heavenly Parents of our child, will then continue to teach and direct them. The role and mission of the great Redeemer, Jesus Christ, has now been fulfilled for that child, for they are fully redeemed, forgiven of all their sins, purified and cleansed by Jesus Christ, and then brought back into our presence! We, their Heavenly Parents, will then predominantly interact with our son or daughter and continue teaching and leading them.

Generally, around this same time, Jesus Christ will witness to our son and daughter that he/she will be received into our kingdom, and will have eternal life in celestial glory at a future day! This is an event named "calling and election made sure". Jesus may also mention that they will become a member of the Church of the Firstborn, a necessary step in their progression towards godhood, or living in celestial glory forever.

Raphael, these progressive steps are followed by all who come to us. You have received all of these, and now are in our presence receiving more direction and guidance in your life. Your mission includes revealing in greater clarity these things and in revealing many more great truths never before revealed to mankind!'"

146F5-146F16: "Heavenly Father then spoke: 'Raphael, you have experienced since last night in communion with your Heavenly Mother the "peace of God, which passeth all understanding" (Philippians 4:7). This is the comforter, even the presence and Spirit of your Heavenly Mother.

John 14:16-17

"And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that (she) may abide with you for ever;

Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth (her) not, neither knoweth (her): but ye know (her); for (she) dwelleth with you, and shall be in you." (words in parentheses changed by Heavenly Father).

In this eternity, the role of a comforter has been assigned to your Heavenly Mother. She is also the loving Mother of each of our earthly children. More than anyone or anything else, she knows how to comfort her own, the elect whom I have chosen.

The clouds of darkness and adversity may swirl around you, but with her peace and comfort, you shall have such assurance and contentment so that nothing else matters much. In turn, you may help settle those around you and bring the love of God into their presence also.

Raphael, your Heavenly Mother, Jesus Christ, and I have this deep peace and joy always with us. We see the past, present and future. We know how to succor and lead our people in ways of peace, like we feel, and of safety. Fear flees away in our presence, for we are filled with peace.

You may wonder how we can be filled with peace, even when we initiate the whirlwinds of calamity soon coming upon the wicked and the world? We initiate this destruction so that the wicked will pass away and the beautiful world of the terrestrial millennium may come! The passing away of the evil and telestial will be relatively quick. The gathering of our elect will come in not many years. You will soon be in a world filled with peace and beauty, freed from Satan's influence. We will make all things new, even to the filling of our people with joy and consolation!

Isaiah 51:6-8, 11-12

"Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.

Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings.

For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool: but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation from generation to generation.

...Therefore the redeemed of the Lord shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away.

I, even I, am he that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the son of man which shall be made as grass."'

Heavenly Father then reached down to me with both of his arms. He pulled me gently up to him, where he was standing above me in the air. I stood in front of him and he embraced me and kissed me! He then spoke to me in a whisper:

'Raphael, our peace and comfort shall not depart from you! You will feel great peace, even with the wind whirling around you, for your Heavenly Mother and I will be with you!

This is the same promise we give to each of our elect who come unto us in the way you have approached us. If they will humble themselves before us and seek our comfort and peace, we will come to them and will not leave them comfortless. They will then experience no fear, for that is of the telestial world. We will make them changed, even to a terrestrial state where they more fully feel of our peace and love. This great peace will wrap them in our security and ever watchful eye!'

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his great promise to me and to the elect! I felt so elevated to be in his presence and in the presence of my Heavenly Mother last night! They have all under control, and will order all things for the blessing of their children.

Heavenly Father then withdrew and quickly faded away into his higher realms. I closed my prayer in the name of Jesus Christ and started my new day."

175F12-175F14, from Heavenly Father: "Our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, will work with each individual and accept them and redeem them, according to their sincerity, humility and diligence in calling upon him and obeying our commandments. In time he will introduce them to your Heavenly Mother and me. We will love them and come unto them, making our abode with them, even as we have made our presence with you daily through constant prayer.

John 14:15-18, 23

"If ye love me, keep my commandments.

And I (Jesus) will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he (she) may abide with you for ever (this is the Holy Ghost, or the very spirit of Heavenly Mother, her very presence and spirit);

Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him (her) not, neither knoweth him (her). This is referred to as a male in the previous verse and this verse, but in reality is your Heavenly Mother, and should now be referred to as a female): but ye know him (her); for he (she) dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

I (Jesus) will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

. . . Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father (and Mother) will love him, and we (all three of us Gods) will come unto him, and make our abode with him (This promise is for every one of our elect sons and daughters who loves us and keeps our commandments)." (The words in parentheses are from Heavenly Father).'

I thanked my Father for his clearer rendering of this very important scripture given by Jesus Christ in his great discourse after his final feast of the passover on the earth in his mortal body. I expressed my sincere humility and great favor in being visited so continually by my Gods, even in my mortal life! I said that their constant presence is such a strength and a blessing to me."

177M1-177M15: "I came this morning to the celestial orb. I came to the grassy area just south of the white gate. The gate was shut but I knew Jesus was behind the gate. I had faith he would open the gate for me if I came up to it and desired to enter.

I knelt on the green grass and prayed to my Father in Heaven. I felt connected with him and was given the direction to seek entrance past the white gate from Jesus Christ.

I then stood and walked up to the gate. I touched it and then the gate opened. Jesus Christ stood by the gate and then invited me to enter. I stepped past the white gate and Jesus shut it behind me.

He then faced me and spoke to me: 'Raphael, I am glad that you have come to visit me here at the gate that leads to the straight and narrow path. Hear again the words of Jacob.

2 Nephi 9:41-43

"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.

And whoso knocketh, to him will he open; and the wise, and the learned, and they that are rich, who are puffed up because of their learning, and their wisdom, and their riches--yea, they are they whom he despiseth; and save they shall cast these things away, and consider themselves fools before God, and come down in the depths of humility, he will not open unto them.

But the things of the wise and the prudent shall be hid from them forever--yea, that happiness which is prepared for the saints."

Raphael, these words of Jacob, the brother of Nephi, are true, for they were given by revelation to him directly from me. All of my faithful who are the elect of the Father and Mother, will need , at some point in their lives, to come to me and enter into this gate and the straight and narrow path that leads to eternal life and exaltation. These are the ones who will be allowed to come into the higher terrestrial realm, even to Zion. The great mysteries and happiness that await them are hidden from those who refuse to come to me in the humble and sincere way I prescribe.

My labor among the humble elect in your world is my great redemptive work now on the earth. I prepare them and carefully lead them to the point that they will come unto me with a broken heart and a contrite spirit. When they have been sufficiently diligent and sincere, I will come to them and make myself known to them. I am the only way to the Father and Mother, for I will redeem each one by my power, and introduce them again to their Heavenly Parents, in my own way and time.

John 14:6,23

"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

...Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him."'

Jesus then took my hand and led me to the start of the path that leads to the tree of life, that is narrow and straight.

He pointed the way to the tree of life and spoke again: 'Raphael, all men and women who are accepted and redeemed by me may walk this straight and narrow path, even to the tree of life. This tree represents eternal life and their glory forever, being redeemed by me and coming to our heavenly parents. Walk now again along this straight way to visit with our Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother, who will pluck for you of the fruit of the tree of life.'

I thanked Jesus, my Redeemer, for his words of eternal truth, and parted his presence. I then walked along the path that only allowed one person at a time. As I walked, I kept my focus on the tree of life. As I got closer, I could see my Heavenly Parents under the beautiful canopy of that majestic tree. I soon came before them and knelt at their feet. I was filled with the light of their countenance!

Heavenly Father reached out and helped me to my feet. Then Heavenly Mother plucked a fruit of the tree and gave it to me. I ate all and was filled with light and great joy.

Heavenly Mother then spoke to me: 'Raphael, our son, we have walked you through the journey again this morning that each of our beloved children must needs take in order to be brought again into our presence, and to partake of eternal life with us. You are clean before us, having been redeemed and cleansed by the blood and sacrifice of Jesus Christ. We are overjoyed to have you before us now in our kingdom!

Thus may each one of our children come unto us, by following this same path and journey to us. All will need to come through the white gate and walk the narrow path to the tree of life where we will be. This is our plan of salvation for each one of our faithful children, through our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ.'

My Father then spoke to me: 'Raphael, we have great plans in sharing our happiness and joy with our faithful elect. What you have done in your journey this morning in coming to us is what each one needs to do in their own journey. We individually customize the path along the narrow path, so that they will be strengthened along the way to us. It is through their tribulations and hardships in life that they grow and become the strong and valiant sons and daughters of our kingdom, even in Zion."

179B8-179B10: "Heavenly Mother then said she would be by my side throughout my day. She said that she and Heavenly Father have made their abode with me, even as is described in John 14: 23:

"Jesus answered and said unto him, if a man (or woman) love me, he (/she) will keep my words; and my Father (and Mother) will love him (/her), and we will come unto him (/her), and make our abode with him (/her)." (words in parentheses from Heavenly Mother).

I thanked her for her presence with me throughout the day. I said I greatly loved her and my Father.

She then smiled upon me and faded away. I knew she was still there but an unseen guest. I felt lots of peace, and her presence."

187J10-187J13, from Heavenly Mother: "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!'"

188B11-188B19:"I received this email from S.A. today on 2-28-2021 titled "Perfect Love". I loved learning about these beautiful truths!

"Hello R,

I was told I could share this with you, by Heavenly Mother. I had been pondering the last few days what is meant in the scripture Moroni 8:16 "...and I fear not what man can do; for perfect love casteth out all fear." I wondered why love casts out fear, since they aren't opposites.

This morning in prayer, I came to the temple and sat with my Heavenly Mother on a bench facing the last days mural. She put her hand on my leg and I felt her deep love, peace and Spirit warm my soul. It felt so familiar. I had felt this great peace and warmth before at times in prayer, or when I've attended the temple. I started to cry, for this familiar feeling of great love was so indelible.

She spoke, 'You have felt the familiar feeling of my deep, all-encompassing love this morning. You have felt this before in mortality at times in the temple, but it is available to all of our children who seek us in true communion and connection with us in the openness of their hearts, as you are now.

When our children know and feel of our deep, perfect love for them, this is what casts out fear, even as the scripture states, "...for perfect love casteth out all fear" (Moroni 8:16). If they were to be afraid of someone else, they could also think of our perfect love for that other person, and this too would help cast out their fears.

When Jesus was to be crucified, he could have been afraid of the pain he was going to experience, as his body would be tortured and go through excruciating pain. Instead, he had shifted his focus to perfect love for his brothers and sisters, even all of our precious children. He even felt great love for those who did this to him. (I began to sob, for I realized how afraid one could be to experience great pain. I felt an overwhelming amount of gratitude for the abundance of love my Savior had for me, and for every one of us.) He also focused on his deep feelings and understanding of our perfect love for him, our only Begotten Son. Not only did he deeply feel our love, but he felt great love for us, too.

This perfect example of love was shown to all men by our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, for he overcame and cast out all fear in this great and eternal act of breaking the bonds of death and pain for all men forever. If all men would focus on their love of others, from us their Gods, and their love for us, they would cast out all fear. One can experience anything hard or painful without fear if they feel deep, Christ-like love in their heart.'

I continued to cry, for it was truly so remarkable to me to think of how perfect Christ's love is. As I wondered how to develop this same love, the scripture that came to mind was Moroni 7:48-"to pray unto the Father with all the energy of heart, that ye may be filled with this love". I prayed that I could be filled with this perfect love, which I feel will be necessary for the struggles ahead. I gave thanks for this beautiful message and closed my prayer.

I hope you have a wonderful Sabbath, it is such a blessing to commune with my Gods in prayer.

Warmly,
S.A."

I received the beautiful email above from S.A. today. This is the manner in which we should approach very difficult tasks. If we have perfect love, we will not fear what man can do. If we think of the love of God for a person we fear, then this will help drive out our fear of that person, even as Heavenly Mother said to S.A. I desire to be filled with this perfect love, for then I would fear nobody, but only God. I then should be able to act and do with great love in my heart and confidence from God anything that God might ask me to do.

It helps me to think of myself as a lone intelligence before God. It is only God and me, and only what God wants me to do is my only thought. God first loved me and chose me to be his son. In this fallen world, there are others who are also intelligences before God, but whatever they might think of me, or what they might want to do to me, is of such a lesser importance to me than what God wants me to do and think. I love and obey God, and that is all important, and causes me to fear not others.

1 John 14:18-19

"There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear, because fear hath torment.

He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

We love him because he first loved us."

I came this evening to the entry foyer to God's temple on the celestial orb. I knelt near the pine tree to the east in this room. I asked for my Heavenly Father to come to me.

He immediately stood before me, a little elevated in the air. I was very happy to be before him. I gazed upon him, and felt very much one with him. I love him and want to do whatever he might direct me to do. I feel no fear of man or what men in my fallen world might do or say to me. I feel very focused upon my Father.

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."

Jesus is the way, the truth, the life, and the light of mankind. He is the only through whom we are saved and really healed. He is sent from the Father. If we see Christ, we see the Father also. They are one in purpose. They are both healers. We do all things in their name.

John 14:27
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.

93B7-93B10: "After church–My wife and I attended a local ward. I felt a little disconnected with myself, but was successful in going to the desert oasis in heaven. I knelt and made my covenants after the priest blessed the bread. I then waited at the desert oasis and after I partook of the bread in the ward, Heavenly Mother came in glory to me.

She spoke:

'Raphael, on behalf of your Heavenly Father and I, I accept your covenant to take upon yourself the name of Jesus Christ, and to always remember us and to keep our commandments.'

She then stood before me. I waited, but was not able to connect as I normally am. I then saw her talking to my replicated self. I couldn't hear her words. I then asked her why?

She responded:

'Raphael, you have been distracted, and have not been sufficiently clear to hear my words. You normally are able to meditate and connect to us so we are able to speak to you.'

I then tried to meditate more right then and concentrate, dropping my distractions. Then I heard my Heavenly Mother speak to my replicated self:

'Raphael, there are many here in this ward congregation that will not put us first in their lives. They will therefore be buffeted by the adversary and by man and the society of men all around them. There is no peace from these, but only from us, and only to those who listen to our voice and obey our commandments.

The elect hear our voice and obey our words. These also receive our peace that the world cannot give. This peaceful state of mind is reserved for the faithful who put us first in their lives:

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." '

Heavenly Mother then smiled and my prayer was abruptly ended.

During the rest of the sacrament meeting, I read these other verses in John that were very clear:

John 14:23-24

"Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.""

101H3-101H10, from Heavenly Mother: "She came up to me and smiled. She then immediately spoke:

'Raphael, this is your week of Thanksgiving where you meet with loved ones for a time to give thanks to God. We are grateful for this meaningful holiday your nation celebrates. Your nation has changed dramatically since we brought many God-fearing people to its land, seeking religious and political freedom. We brought forth those who established the United States constitution and sought the freedom of all the people. This was the perfect setting for the reestablishment of our Church of Christ on the earth.

Now the land is filled with many more people, in cities that dot the land. We have blessed the people with great prosperity and so many blessings of a modern lifestyle. And yet they turn away from us and are generally living a self-centered lifestyle. They have turned away from us and are quick becoming more and more followers of Satan, becoming carnal, sensual and devilish. War and fighting are erupting all over the world, with the love of God departing from the people. These are troubled time, Raphael!

As your world sinks into more and more evil ways, we have correspondingly sent forth more and more of our angels and other servants to help rescue the elect, those who have or will hear our voice and keep our commandments. This is a great day of sifting the hearts of men and women, our beloved children who have come forth at this time to the earth.

I have brought you to my beautiful orchard this morning. It is no longer bearing fruit and the harvest is ended. Our fruit has been gathered and stored in our places of safety. Soon the winter storms will come to your land.'

At this time, Heavenly Mother turned and looked over Lake Beautiful. It was so pretty! I too looked at the calm and beautiful lake. I then saw some very dark clouds gather over the water near us. The sky quickly became darkened and the winds picked up. I saw lightning and thought a storm was upon us. Heavenly Mother continued to look steadily upon the lake. It began blowing, raining and with thunder and lightning all around. Heavenly Mother raised her hand and a clear column of light opened up from the dark cloud and shone around us. It felt warm and peaceful, while outside of the column of light the storm continued with great intensity.

Heavenly Mother turned and spoke again:

'Raphael, though storms will come upon you in your life and upon our people, you each may have the light and peace of our presence with you! We will protect our own while all around them the storms of life bear down on them and on the people. Calamity will fully come upon all people, but those who come unto us, with an open and humble heart, will find the light and love of God shining down upon them! They will then be able to receive our peace in a very stormy world that surrounds them.'

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her words today and for the vivid teachings she shared with me! I said how grateful I was for her and Heavenly Father's guidance in my life. I truly feel the light and warmth of their presence and relish the peace I feel from them. I then remembered this scripture, spoken by Jesus Christ:

John 14:26-27 (Heavenly Mother's comments added)

"But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name (Heavenly Mother), he (she) shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

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."

I feel the peace of God and the love of God more and more in my life. I thanked my Heavenly Mother for the comfort she gives me, as spoken by Jesus. This is such a wonderful blessing!

I then somehow left this beautiful scene with my Mother in the orchard and was in my adjacent bedroom writing all of this down. I confirmed that I had this beautiful time with my Heavenly Mother, and that I had written it all correctly. I then closed my prayer and started my new day."

136D3-136D13: "While getting into my meditative and peaceful state, Heavenly Mother appeared to me in the air in front of me! She was very bright and smiling. She seemed to be at peace and sent to me feelings of love, acceptance and peace–just what I desired. I very soon was filled with her same feeling of abundant light! I felt very immersed in her entire being and tranquility.

Heavenly Mother then spoke: 'Raphael, when you receive my peace and understanding, you are able to fully dismiss your anxiety over your day ahead. As you keep this settled feeling, you then may be more effective in keeping happy and at peace during the day. I will help you along to keep this great feeling of peace and capability to be able to meet life's challenges. It is good that you awoke and immediately came to us, your Gods, in prayer and mediation first, before starting your new day!'

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."

170H4-170H13: "I immediately came to the shore of Lake Beautiful, next to the maple tree grove, for I recognized this place. My Heavenly Mother then descended from the grove to the shore where I immediately knelt before her. I felt the great love and peace that came from her! I said to her how wonderful it was to be in her glorious presence this morning.

She spoke: 'Raphael, the world around you may be in war, men's hearts may fail them and it may seem nobody is trustworthy. However, my peace and love will remain with you, and I will guide you and protect you. Each of our elect may experience this great peace in their lives, for I will give freely to those who ask of me my Spirit, if they are sincere and humble in their petitions.

I will give the peace that Jesus Christ spoke of in 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."

She then extended her hand to me. I arose and took her hand. We then started walking along the shore of Lake Beautiful, to the north. She spoke again: 'Raphael, come to me anytime today while we walk around the beautiful lake in our celestial world. I will be with you all day, even in your unconscious mind!'

I thanked her for being so close to me. I then found myself in my mortal state, writing all of this in my journal. I now begin my new day, being filled with the peace of God, that only God can give.

Evening-I came tonight to the shore of Lake Beautiful, still walking with my Heavenly Mother! When I came and connected my conscious mind with my unconscious mind, Heavenly Mother stopped walking and faced me. She then spoke:

'Raphael, you have wondered how you could be walking with me here all day long while you live your mortal life on earth, doing many other things. This continues to amaze you.

The way this works is that time here in the celestial world is not synched up the same, or on the same basis, as time in your world. In mortality, there are very definite minutes, hours, days, seasons, and years, all which are precise and tied into the rotations of the earth and her revolutions around the sun. However, on our celestial orb we are not tied into such preciseness. We may travel into the past, or see into the future, and with a thought to do so we are there. For us here, walking on the shore, it seemed a few moments only while you lived your entire day on earth.

We also have you detach from your constant prayer mode during the times you are sleeping on earth. This gives you freedom to deeply rest your body and mind. At these times, your unconscious self, and your replicated self usually are replicated and are very actively working for us in the celestial realms of the earth. You are generally not here on our celestial orb. We continue to direct the work you do in the celestial realms on the earth, but are not with you continually like we are when you are in constant prayer during your day. We are with you in constant prayer when your conscious mind is active on earth and you may immediately be guided and directed by our constant presence.

I thanked her for this explanation. I said I felt like she was always closer now than before, and that I so appreciated this choice blessing!"

174E14-174E21, from Heavenly Father: "'Raphael, this garden is one of those in our celestial temple block area of the New Jerusalem.' He turned and pointed to my right. 'There is the holy celestial temple where you will labor with joy for our elect children. You will often walk by this garden to or from the temple and be revitalized by its great beauty and peace.

When you may feel down, or when life gets difficult, think of this beautiful future celestial garden spot on your Mother Earth. You will then feel the joy and rapture you now feel, for we will always allow you to enter into its borders and be uplifted in this garden. The world and its commotion cannot come here, but only peace, serenity and great calmness and acceptance.

After fulfilling your assignment for a group of the elect who are in the same family, you might suggest that they linger here before they exit our celestial temple block. There are benches and gurgling water that comes here in the canals and nearby small lake. Our Spirit is always here in abundance, and our light shines brightly upon our humble and receptive elect here. This is a place to reverently commune with us, your Gods. We will come and appear to you here frequently upon your asking. We are very close by for any of our children who come here to pause and meditate.'

At this moment my Father looked up and Heavenly Mother came to his side from behind me! They embraced and then both faced me. I felt her abundant light flow into me and her love pour into my soul. She was smiling and brightly shining with her sparkling eyes, her deep loving eternity eyes. I felt so part of both of them! I experienced great love and peace.

I then remembered the words of Jesus in 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."

When here in this celestial garden, in the presence of my loving Heavenly Parents, I could not even imagine any troubling thing, or condition where I could be afraid! I just soaked up the great peaceful serenity of this moment.

Heavenly Mother spoke: 'Raphael, you are richly blessed to receive of our love and peace in your prayer tonight! Come here whenever you wish, and we will pour upon you our peace, love, and acceptance. Our promise holds for any of our elect who come unto us with great faith and desire, even as you have now.'

I thanked them for this promise. I said I planned to come here frequently and again be so uplifted and at peace and secure."

John 15:16
16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

157A2-157A8: "I faced the lake and asked for my Heavenly Mother to come to me. She came in a shaft of light upon the lake, and then walked in the air towards me! I felt her deep love and acceptance of me.

She immediately spoke: 'Raphael, even though you might feel very normal or ordinary, you are still our mortal prophet of the Church of the Firstborn. We have chosen you and you have not chosen yourself. You are called of God, like Jesus called his earliest apostles:

John 15:16–"Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you."

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."

John 15:9-13
9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.

10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.

11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.

12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

Love starts with the Father, then the Son, then us. We keep love by keeping the commandments which brings joy. The greatest love is to lay down one's life for his friends.

23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

Sun, Oct 16, 2011
When we love each other, we are made perfect and one with Christ and the Father. We should love them more than our own lives.

John 19:30
30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

125C2-125C33: "I came again to the place in front of the fountain of living water between the golden altar and the fountain. I was facing north and knelt on the pavement. The ground was paved in rocks of some kind that had apparently been quarried and set in the ground here. They were semi smooth and very even and of the same coloring as the temple that glistened in the sunlight. It was not difficult for me to kneel here as it would have been on the earth if I knelt on rock.

I raised both hands above my head and asked in prayer for one or both of my Heavenly Parents to come. I then saw the sky above the fountain and I heard in my mind the voice of my Heavenly Father: 'Raphael, come up here!'

I arose and thought to go up into the opening in the sky and I was immediately above the fountain. I then stepped into the opening into the higher celestial realm from my celestial realm! I was before my glorious Heavenly Father who was smiling at me and very filled with light and radiance! I saw my Heavenly Mother coming to his left side and then hold his hand. I was standing before both of my glorious Heavenly Parents!

Heavenly Father spoke again: 'Raphael, we have brought you into our higher celestial realm above our celestial orb. You may look down and see the fountain, our golden altar and the temple below us. We may go anywhere on our celestial orb in this sphere and we will remain out of sight from any of our children who may be here in the celestial realm.'

I thanked him for allowing me to come before them in this higher celestial realm. I told them how pleased I was to be in their presence!

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.

1When 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!"

John 20:1,11-18
1 The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.

11 But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,

12 And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.

13 And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.

14 And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.

15 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.

16 Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.

17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.

18 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her.

99D13-99D22, from Heavenly Father: "He then said:

'Raphael, look on the field below and witness the resurrection of our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ!'

I then turned around and saw Jesus Christ, my Redeemer, on the cross. I could see all of heaven's hosts watching him suffer. Heaven was very silent. I then saw men take him off the cross and lay him in a new tomb.

At the same time, I saw his spirit burst upon the waiting righteous in the spirit paradise of God. This same scene was recorded in D&C 138:11-19,23-27 during the brief period between his death and resurrection. My spiritual eyes beheld a scene just prior to his own resurrection, and the resurrection of the awaiting spirits that immediately followed. I saw him give the large congregation of righteous dead their final instructions. They all watched, as did all the premortal hosts of heaven, his own resurrection.

Jesus Christ came into the tomb in the brilliance of his spirit! I saw his spirit descend right into his dead corpse. His spirit entered fully, as it had recently been there while alive. I saw his body start to glow and his eyes open. He sat up and then stood upright. He rose through the rock ceiling of the tomb to the awaiting spirits in paradise. He extended his arms to them and gave them each the direction to do as he had just done, to go into their deceased and decayed bodies wherever they had been laid. I saw the assembly of spirits then all vanish as they too were resurrected by the power of the son of man, even Jesus Christ.

At this moment, even before Jesus was able to greet his Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother, who then had arisen higher up into the air behind me, he came outside the tomb, for Mary stood without the tomb crying. (see John 20:11)

Jesus spoke to Mary, who at first didn't recognize him as her husband and Redeemer.

John 20:15-17

"Jesus saith unto her, woman, why weepest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.

Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni, which is to say, Master.

Jesus saith unto her, touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God and your God."

I saw him then ascend into the air in the celestial world, in front of all the hosts of heaven, and come on bended knee before our Heavenly Parents. He spoke:

"Father, Mother, I have completed the great redeeming work that you have sent me to do".

(See my journal entry Oct. 13, 2018)

The sacrament meeting continued with my grandchildren going up front to be in the primary program. I lost connection with what had been happening in the celestial world.

At night–I had an enjoyable Sabbath day today. I am now in my front room in my recliner. It is quiet now and dark outside. I am going to seek to connect to my God in prayer.

I came to the Great Assembly Hall. I don't know why I am to be here. I guess I will find out! I knelt outside the east door that opens towards the lake. I asked for my Heavenly Parents to come. The doors of the assembly hall opened. I saw both my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother there, waving me to come to them. I stood and was soon in front of them.

Heavenly Father spoke:

'Raphael, following the embrace that we had with out Beloved Son directly after his resurrection, we invited him and our newly resurrected righteous elect to the assembly hall behind us. We also invited all of our premortal children to come to this Great Assembly Hall. We wanted all to witnesses for themselves our Beloved Son addressing them, plus a few other resurrected souls.

We both sat on the stand with Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son, Adam or Michael, our daughter Eve, and Noah or Gabriel and his wife. These all addressed the vast congregation of our children. They were all newly resurrected. It was a very moving and spirit-filled meeting. You were in attendance, Raphael, for you hadn't yet been born in mortality.

It was a great boost of your faith and for all those in attendance, of the triumph of the great Redeemer, Jesus Christ, over death. It was also a great experience to hear from your other brothers and sisters who had just been resurrected. This made the great plan of happiness be more real and very close.

There were many tears of great joy in heaven that day! These newly resurrected souls found a place once again in heaven, in our wilderness area. They mingled with their premortal brothers and sisters that day. It was a great reunion!

We then had our premortal spirits live outside of the wilderness area and only come occasionally to our wilderness area. We separated them in two separate groups to keep them focused on their different tasks they were charged with. The premortal spirits were preparing for their future mortal experience, and the resurrected souls were resting from their labors and doing various acts of service that we gave to them.'

I thanked my Heavenly Father for allowing me to come to the Great Assembly Hall this evening and to hear all about this great and happy meeting! I said I was so honored to be in their presence."

119H13-119H25: "After church–My wife and I attended our own ward again. I enjoyed seeing neighbors and old friends. At the sacrament, I felt to kneel just outside the white gate to the south. After the sacrament prayer on the bread, I made my weekly covenant in prayer before the white gate. I saw no one near. I prayed, and then I felt in my mind that I should stand and enter the gate. I stood and it opened wide. As I entered there was a very bright light. I came into the area behind the gate, and came again to my knees. I lifted up my head and saw Heavenly Father in front of me, with Jesus Christ on his right side and Heavenly Mother on his left side. They were all very brilliant and bright! Their light came into and through me. Heavenly Father then spoke:

'Raphael we accept your covenant today, to take upon you the name of our Beloved Son Jesus Christ, and remember us always, and to keep our commandments.

Heavenly Father also transferred To me the thought that Heavenly Mother had come in her resurrected body, like she did this morning.

At that time, Jesus Christ stepped forward in front of me. He extended both of his hands towards me and smiled. I was kneeling before him. I reached out and took his hands in mine. I felt the nail wounds in his hands and wrists with my fingers. I know he had suffered for my sins and weaknesses! I bowed my head, and then I saw the nail marks in his feet. I reached forth and touched them also. As I did so I saw in my mind a vision of Jesus Christ, the Great Redeemer, on the cross at Calgary. I saw the actual large spikes the Roman guards had used to nail Jesus to the rough wooden cross! The vision was only for a minute, but it made a big impression on me! The vision ended, the meeting continued, and then I wrote in my pocket journal what had happened today at the sacrament.

Evening–I enjoyed the afternoon with my family over for Easter dinner. They are all gone now and I have finally sat down to start my connection with my Heavenly Parents.

Tonight I came to the main tree of life at the north end of the straight and narrow path. The tree was warmly glowing with the love of God that spewed forth into the sky above the tree.

I plucked a white fruit and leaf from the tree. I came on the grass next to the tree and ate it all. I felt enlivened with the love of God coming into my being, like light streaming into me. I knelt next to the trunk of the tree of life, and faced south to the white gate at the beginning of the straight and narrow path. I asked for one or more of my Heavenly Parents to come.

Heavenly Father appeared next to the tree in front of me! He was smiling and full of light. He spoke:

'Raphael, I have brought you here to our tree of life in our celestial orb. When the two trees of life are transplanted in the celestial temple grounds of the New Jerusalem, the love of God will flow out from those two trees to fill all of the earth.

Today your Heavenly Mother and I brought our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, to you at the time you partook of the sacrament. Jesus Christ is our love-in-action that we send. He was the great Redeemer we called and focus of our love that we extend to all of our children.

One day soon Jesus Christ will reign as a spiritual and political leader on the earth, for one thousand years of peace. He will send forth the love of God from the New Jerusalem from where he will reign. These two trees of life will send forth upon the earth the love of God from this world center at the New Jerusalem. This love will soften the hearts of all people and cause peace to endure for the entire millennial era.

You wondered why you saw a vision of Jesus on the cross at the sacrament today. The reason is that you were touching and feeling the marks of his tokens wherewith he was slain for the sins of the world. The death and suffering of Jesus Christ was necessary, but only a part of the great atonement. He next overcame death and hell, and himself was resurrected as a final triumph. Raphael, look now with me back down the straight and narrow path, towards the white gate!'

I looked down from my Father towards the white gate. I then saw a vision before my eyes of the garden tomb on the back of the hill named Golgotha. I saw this scripture as it really happened, for it was very early in the first day of the week:

John 20:1,11-18–"The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulcher and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulcher.

But Mary stood without at the sepulcher weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down and looked into the sepulcher.

And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.

And they say unto her, woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.

And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and knew not that it was Jesus.

Jesus saith unto her, woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou has laid him, and I will take him away.

Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself and saith unto him, Raboni, which is to say, Master.

Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them I ascend unto my father, and your Father and to my God, and your God.

Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her."

I saw this simple scene in vision before my eyes! This was just after my Redeemer, Jesus Christ was resurrected to a glorious celestial resurrection. He has power to lay down his life and then to take it up again, as he had said!

I felt so very happy to have concluded my prayer with such a happy vision! I know Jesus is the resurrection and the life (see John 11:25). I so fully trust in his great redemptive power and the power of the resurrection that comes through him to all mankind. Though we die, yet shall we live! What a glorious message. I have felt his wounds today, and now witnessed the exhilarating good news of his resurrection to immortal life! I felt so, so thankful for this concluding vision today. It really was the most meaningful message I could ever receive!"

Acts 1:6-7
6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?

7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.

175C19, from S: "Email from S on 10-7-2020 entitled "Times or Season":

"R,

I have felt to share this entry with you following the General Conference. I searched for the phrase in the scriptures that was quoted in my prayer and found the Savior saying it to his disciples after his resurrection. They were asking when the kingdom of Israel would be restored.

10-4-20 PM

In prayer, I called upon my Heavenly Parents. I came to the desert oasis where Heavenly Father stood with a soft glow of light about his being as it was dark. He spoke to me, 'We desire to meet and commune with each one of our children. We may guide and direct each that is willing to seek us. The current apostles see the events of the world as do others, yet they do not receive the spirit that directs them to the time or the season at hand. (Act 1: 6-7) They will be as surprised as others by the great changes coming in the next six months. The religious leaders of the Jews were wise too in the scriptures and prophecies of the Messiah, yet in the day of Jesus Christ, they knew not the times or season at hand. Had they known, they would have repented and followed Christ, encouraging others to do the same. However, they were blind guides that were a stumbling block to true believers. Many in your day await a message from the apostles but do not petition us their Heavenly Parents in prayer to know for themselves. This communion through our spirit will be vital to guide our children through the days ahead. Continue to come often and we will enlighten your mind and speak to you personally. This we will do for all who have faith and wait upon us in prayer.'

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his words and then closed my prayer.

Acts 1: 6-7

"When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?

And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power."

Warmly,
S""

55 But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up steadfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,

56 And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.

167G8-167G11: "Heavenly Father spoke to me: 'Raphael, there will be times like this when you only know you are in my presence, and don't know the time or place you are in. This is often not important, for only being in my presence is important.

When my servant Stephen was tried before the Sanhedrin council, and presented boldly his defense, he saw Jesus Christ and me in vision. He told the council what he saw:

Acts 7: 55-56

"But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,

And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God."

Stephen came before me, even as you are before me. He told what he saw to his accusers who stoned him, but for you I want you to tell no one except those who also believe like you. I will tell you how and with whom to share your revelations, and your record will only be read and cherished by our faithful elect, and not by sinners or the wicked."

Acts 9:1-9
1 And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,

2 And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.

3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:

4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?

5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.

6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.

7 And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.

8 And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.

9 And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink.

83H1-83H12: "This morning I came early into the adjacent bedroom at 6:40 am. The sun was just rising over the eastern mountains. It was streaming into this bedroom that I was in–a promise of another wonderful day!

I came to the desert hill, west of the oasis. The celestial sun also just arose on this beautiful desert location, just like back home. I felt its warm rays to my right front.

Unlike the boy prophet Joseph, I have no idea what I want to pray for, except for communion with God. I have no anticipation of what may happen in my prayer this morning. However, I feel prepared, clear, meditative and full of faith, like Joseph. I too know that God gives liberally. I have lack of wisdom, seeking this from God.

I knelt and prayed facing the distant oasis. I asked my God(s) to come.

I then saw towards the sun, a blinding light come to me! I saw the outlines of two personages! They came from the direction of the sun, and soon stood in front of me. I had tried to see them come, but my eyes seemed burned or temporarily blinded when I tried to look on them! I could tell these were my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother, but I couldn't see their faces clearly at all–only the outline of their bodies!

Heavenly Father then spoke to me:

'Raphael, you experience in not being able to see your Heavenly Mother and I before you, except our outlines, is akin to what Saul saw on the road to Damascus:

Acts 9:1-9–

"And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,

And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.

And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:

And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?

And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pRs.

And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.

And the men that journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.

And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.

And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink."

Saul also couldn't see, for he had been blinded by the brightness of our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, who appeared to him on the way. Saul had been astonished, and asked his Lord what he would have him do. The scales of unbelief soon fell from Saul's eyes. He had been in darkness three days, as he grappled with the mighty change in his view of God and what he was to do.

During this time, Saul had a mighty change of heart. He wasn't freed from his blindness until Ananias laid his hands on him, and Saul was filled with the Holy Ghost.

This experience of Saul was akin to Alma the Younger when he too was going forth to persecute the members of the church of God. An angel appeared to Alma the younger, to convince him of the power and authority of God, and that the prayers of God's servants might be answered according to the faith (see Mosiah 27:10-17 below). Alma the younger was unable to speak, and his limbs had no strength, for he was overcome.

Mosiah 27:10-17–

"And now it came to pass that while he was going about to destroy the church of God, for he did go about secretly with the sons of Mosiah seeking to destroy the church, and to lead astray the people of the Lord, contrary to the commandments of God, or even the king—

And as I said unto you, as they were going about rebelling against God, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto them; and he descended as it were in a cloud; and he spake as it were with a voice of thunder, which caused the earth to shake upon which they stood;

And so great was their astonishment, that they fell to the earth, and understood not the words which he spake unto them.

Nevertheless he cried again, saying: Alma, arise and stand forth, for why persecutest thou the church of God? For the Lord hath said: This is my church, and I will establish it; and nothing shall overthrow it, save it is the transgression of my people.

And again, the angel said: Behold, the Lord hath heard the prayers of his people, and also the prayers of his servant, Alma, who is thy father; for he has prayed with much faith concerning thee that thou mightest be brought to the knowledge of the truth; therefore, for this purpose have I come to convince thee of the power and authority of God, that the prayers of his servants might be answered according to their faith.

And now behold, can ye dispute the power of God? For behold, doth not my voice shake the earth? And can ye not also behold me before you? And I am sent from God.

Now I say unto thee: Go, and remember the captivity of thy fathers in the land of Helam, and in the land of Nephi; and remember how great things he has done for them; for they were in bondage, and he has delivered them. And now I say unto thee, Alma, go thy way, and seek to destroy the church no more, that their prayers may be answered, and this even if thou wilt of thyself be cast off.

And now it came to pass that these were the last words which the angel spake unto Alma, and he departed."

Both Saul and Alma the younger had a dramatic experience wherein they completely changed the course of their lives. They experienced a mighty change of heart. They were both born of God. They both drastically changed their lives, and followed what God told them to do.'

I still couldn't see my Heavenly Parents clearly. I then looked at the sand before me, and scales fell from my eyes on the sand! I looked and gazed on the loving and accepting faces of my Heavenly Father and my Heavenly Mother! I could clearly see them! Their eyes were so loving and clear, so deep and accepting of me!

Heavenly Mother then spoke:

'Raphael, we have also changed your heart and mind, as you have come unto us in humble prayer. We have given to you liberally, and you have witness our very presence in the energy class when I came to you, now over five years ago. You could hardly believe what you spiritually saw, but you knew it was true! For you, this is when your eyes became opened, and you began to see us and receive our clear direction on your mission as a healing angel.

Each of our children who come unto us needs their own mighty change of heart. They need to have a spiritual rebirth. Sometimes we orchestrate an experience like we did for Saul and Alma the younger, forever changing the course of their lives. Sometimes we come in answer to a prayer like we did for Joseph Smith, and for you when you were kneeling before your Heavenly Father in prayer, in your energy class. However we come, we will come and witness to the soul of our child on earth of our reality and presence. We will lead them along, each one differently, but we will give them liberally. Each one will receive a new perspective, or eyesight of who we are and what we want them to do. Each needs to experience this mighty change of heart and be spiritually reborn.

We come to our child usually when we know they will act in faith, in the new mission or change of their life, even as we direct. If we don't have confidence that they will change, our words and the spiritual experience may turn to their condemnation. Their hearts and minds need to be open and humble before us, and take the action we inspire them to do.

When Jesus, our Beloved Son, spoke to Cain, when his offering was not accepted (see Moses 21-26), Cain rejected the greater counsel from God, and was cursed, because he did not repent and change. He was condemned for not obeying God.

Our children may choose us their God, or listen to their own selfish desires and the whisperings of Satan. They may choose to have a mighty change of heart, and see more and more clearly as we gently lead them along, or they may choose to ignore or reject our counsel, to their condemnation. This choice is always their own.

We have now concluded our discussion with you on prayer. We encourage our children on earth to take these examples and words to you, and persist in mighty prayer. We will answer them liberally, in our own way and place, and when we will.'

I gazed on my loving Heavenly Parents before me! They were so majestic, so loving and wonderful to be with!

They then traveled back to the sun from whence they had both come. I looked on them as they went back into that bright light. I was no longer blinded, but watched until they were out of sight.

I next knelt in the adjacent room. I confirmed what I had witnessed. I also thanked my Heavenly Parents for their visions and words. I closed my prayer and started my day.""

Acts 9:9-18
9 And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink.

10 And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.

11 And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth,

12 And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight.

13 Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:

14 And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name.

15 But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:

16 For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name’s sake.

17 And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.

18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.

113F8-113F9: "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."

Benevolance or brotherly love, towards all people, good will, kindness towards all, not just in words only, but by acts of kindness and affection. Dissimulation means hypocritical love, not to wear a mask, must have action too out of real intent.

Romans 12:19
19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

181I13-18117: "I returned to the southern shore, faced the lake and prayed to my Heavenly Mother.

She came to my right side, looking over her healing lake! She then walked over the water in front of me and faced me. Her eyes were particularly clear and compassionate looking. She spoke: 'Raphael, S.A. wrote you an email today about what her Heavenly Father and I revealed to her in prayer about the great sins against the children in your day. You have included it in this entry. All I had said to her is accurately written and true, as shocking as it might seem. Our vengeance will soon come upon the leaders of the LDS Church that practice this great evil, and yet act as if they are holy men.

There are also many in power in your government and in leadership positions in influential companies and industries in your country who also traffic children and prey off of the innocent and promote abortions. These men and women will be thrust down to hell, and have no part of our future millennial day. We will no longer hear the cries of the terrified or deceased little ones.

You have mentioned many times to your wife how you don't know whether what you read on news outlets is true or false. None of the sources are infallible, and much is disinformation. It is very important for each of our elect to develop a sure way to connect to us, their Gods, and to know that they receive revelation from us, and not from man or others around them. We transfer truth to the heart and mind of our humble and faithful elect through our Spirit. Each one may know for a surety what is true and what is false from us, the source of all truth.'

She then returned to my side and again faced the lake. She stood on the shore as if she was seeing something in the present day in the air above the lake. I looked too and felt I saw the desperate and lonely little ones that have been hurt and killed by evil and conspiring men and women. I heard momentarily the cries of these little ones! It was too much for me and I begged that she shut up this awful scene before me. She did so and then turned to face me. Tears were running down her cheeks. I then heard her voice in my mind: 'Vengeance is mine, and I will repay.' (See Romans 12:19) We will answer the prayers and yearning pleas of these little ones!'"

1 Corinthians 2:9-11,14
9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

11 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.

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.

83F12-83F15, from Heavenly Father: "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."

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."

123E12-123E23: "Both Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother appeared before me in the air at my level. They were both smiling and very full of light. I felt immediately at peace in their presence.

I told them I was so glad to have received their truths about what the Spirit of God really is, and how the Holy Ghost manifests itself to God's children. I told them I love them! I said I was prepared and opened to whatever they might share with me.

Heavenly Mother spoke first: 'Raphael, the details about the Spirit of God and the Holy Ghost have not been so clearly explained to any of our children as we did to you. This is a great mystery that we reserved to come forth to you at this time!

Even though you receive great revelations from us, you live an ordinary life on earth, and have all the common experiences of mortal man. You are not spared any trauma or trials as is normal for our children. As you have called upon us, we have responded. We are particularly pleased that you are open and receptive to our words we share with you so frequently.

When our children were young spirits in our celestial home, we often communicated to them with our Spirit. This light transmitted our words to their hearts and minds. They received our feelings we also expressed to them, sent with our Spirit.

In turn our spirit children began communicating back to us with the Spirit communication as well. We did not call this the Spirit of God, but spirit communication. The transfer of their thoughts and emotions to us and each other was from light they used as a medium to transfer their thoughts and feelings. They used the light from within them that we had abundantly sent to them, and sent a portion of that light, coupled with their thoughts and feelings, to one whom they wanted to communicate with. This thought transfer was quick and very understandable to the Spirit who received it. This remains the most common way our children speak to us and each other in our celestial realms in heaven.

When our children come to earth, their primary way they communicated was with oral spoken and written language. We, their Heavenly Parents, continued to speak to them with our Spirit. We sent them our thoughts, feelings, and other message forms or means and our Holy Spirit. Some of our faithful children could receive our Spirit and understand, but some could no longer hear us, for they had forgotten how to, or they no longer were receptive to our Spirit that we sent to them in the flesh. They were given the full choice whether to accept our Spirit or not. Our elect, however, in whatever circumstance they found themselves in, could hear and receive our Spirit. This stirred their souls and they desired to obey the voice of the Spirit. For these, we continued to give more since they obeyed our voice. They were gradually led by us to receive our truths, and gain a witness of the truth.'

Heavenly Father spoke next: 'Raphael, our elect on the earth are entering a difficult phase. This is where the truth is so very masked, and none know where to turn except they receive and obey our Spirit as we give to them. Those who are not acquainted with our Spirit, or don't receive it, will never find the truth. It is only in following the Spirit that there is safety. Every man and woman needs to know for themselves what we say to them, and how we guide them. Nobody can stand unless they know and follow our Spirit that we will send to them.

Our elect who are gathered spiritually to Zion will hear the voice of the Spirit. Once they became accustomed to our Spirit, we will then gather them physically to Zion, the only place where there will be peace.

Raphael, these events are upon you even as I speak to you.'

Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother then invited me to come view the mortal probation mural depicting my times on earth. I saw many who were awakened by the Spirit of God. They valued more this direction than what they were told by friends, family and church leaders. They were very much at peace in their quiet moments of communication with God, and received their direction from God. These were led to safe places during the turbulent days of unrest, war, pestilence and calamities of all varieties that happened all around them.

I saw others who at first received the Spirit, but then did not obey because the pull of the world was so great. It seemed that these were like those Lehi and Nephi saw at the tree of life that fell away to forbidden paths and were lost, or went to the great and spacious building (see 1 Nephi chapters 8 and 11). These listened to others around them and not the Spirit. Their paths led to sorrow and lack of safety.

I also saw others who never received the Spirit because of their unbelief and choice not to hear. These followed the ways of man, and never did find safe places. Many of those ridiculed those who did not follow the crowd. They had no part in the Spirit of God.

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."

I thanked my Heavenly Parents for their words to me tonight, and for the vision mural I saw. I told them I would seek to keep their commandments at all times!"

129C3-129C10, from Heavenly Father: "'Raphael, our strange work and strange act we are doing in these last days on earth has no precedence in our dealings with mankind on the earth. Therefore, all the many guesses of our children of how we will do our great work are misguided, for they think from their own perspective and from what they have read in the scriptures and in the historical records.

The great events leading to the second coming are in the spiritual realms of the earth. We are doing our work not through mortal prophets, but through celestial and terrestrial servants and angels. The work of spiritually gathering and protecting our elect will be done in higher spiritual realms rather than on the telestial sphere of the earth. Mankind will not see much of what we do, for we are orchestrating our great work behind the scenes and in secret. They will see the effects of our workings in these spiritual realms, but they will not see what we actually do through our many servants who labor in celestial and terrestrial spheres for the salvation of our elect. For those who only see in the telestial plane, it will look like God does not exist but that man is in control of the destiny of planet earth. The telestial cannot see into the higher, for the higher realms are not visible or understandable to them. However, for the humble and prayerful elect who live in your telestial world, they will know we are near, for they feel connected to their own higher spiritual selves. They have interactions with us their Gods and our servants we send to them to bless, protect and instruct them. They act in faith with a strong desire to believe and trust in their own inner self, and not the natural man or woman this is part of their mortal existence.

1 Corinthians 2:10-12,14–"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. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God, that we might know the things that are freely given to us 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."

Alma 26:21-22–"And now behold, my brethren what natural man is there that knoweth these things? I say unto you, there is none that knoweth these things, save it be the penitent.

Yea, he that repenteth and exerciseth faith, and bringeth forth good works, and prayeth continually without ceasing–unto such it is given to know the mysteries of God; yea, unto such it shall be given to reveal things which never have been revealed."

Mosiah 3:19–"For the natural man is an enemy to God, and has been from the fall of Adam, and will be, forever and ever, unless he yields to the enticings of the Holy Spirit, and putteth off the natural man and becometh a saint through the atonement of Christ the Lord, and becometh as a child, submissive, meek, humble, patient, full of love, willing to submit to all things which the Lord seeth fit to inflict upon him even as a child doth submit to his father."

Raphael, we therefore select among our many children who populate your earth, a few who are sensitive to their inner spiritual selves, and also put off their natural man, or their telestial perceptions and desires of the flesh. As these humble themselves before us, and exercise faith in us, we will reveal ourselves to their inner soul, and speak to their spirits. If they hear us, we will gently guide them to all truth. They need to humbly and openly accept us, and follow our guidance if they are to receive more. These are our elect that we have chosen out of the world, for they hear our words and keep our commandments. These and their posterity we will bring into a higher terrestrial world of peace and happiness, where the enmity of man and beasts also will cease.

Our ways are spoken to the unconscious mind of man.

Isaiah 30:21–"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."

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."'

Heavenly Father then smiled, and reached his hand to me, and spoke: 'Raphael, please join me on my morning walk!'

I took his hand and stood. We then briskly walked down the path towards the overlook and the green field to our west. I somehow saw us both depart and vanish in the fog. I didn't know consciously what we discussed, but I believe it was about God's workings to be done among his elect in our last days."

137D5-137D13: "Heavenly Mother spoke: 'Raphael, as you come twice daily into our celestial realm, and are connected to your unconscious mind here with your conscious mind, you will comprehend and understand how this all works in our celestial realms. Our children and other creations of a coarser material cannot come here unless they are quickened by our Spirit, and unless their spirit quickens their physical body. Without this transformation, they couldn't see, smell, hear, feel or taste in our celestial realm, for their senses would not perceive any part of this realm. They would be kept outside of our celestial veil that protects all who come here from the realms of a lower glory.

What you have written last night of your Heavenly Father's words is accurate. These things take time to comprehend and are reinforced when you actually live and work in this celestial realm as do you.

When you lived in the pre-mortal world of the spirits, you lived in our celestial realm. You couldn't comprehend what it would be like to come into the telestial realm of glory and to have a physical body. However, once you came, you became very immersed and used to that realm. Now you have a difficult time understanding, in your mortal conscious mind, the higher celestial realm. We will help you understand again all about this realm and its functions and features. We wish you to understand and comprehend all, and to write about your experiences in your journal so our elect may also start to comprehend our worlds and ways. None of this can really be fully understood without experiencing this for oneself, however. These are all to be understood also through our Spirit.

1 Corinthians 2:11, 14

"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."

Mankind on earth cannot comprehend, in their fallen telestial state, the higher realms that are soon coming to the earth. The entire earth will be elevated into the terrestrial realm, and will change the way things are done and the beauty and glory of the earth on its surface. Those who are accepted of Jesus Christ, and are brought into our celestial presence, will then also be able to see into the celestial realm, and see the holy New Jerusalem temple. They will be brought to the temple grounds and you will meet them at the doors of the temple and invite them inside. They will then be received into our glorious Church of the Firstborn, our celestial church that will endure forever.

Each day at the temple, at the completion of your work and that of our holy angels, you will go back into the terrestrial realms to live. You will also be able to replicate as much as is required to do your work.

You will freely transition between these realms throughout the days, weeks, and years of dwelling on the earth. You will have your merged mind active wherever you are, in all of your replicated states. During these future days, all will be fully comprehended by you and our angels who work with you. We will be frequently among you also.

Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son, will also live on the earth and be seen and will act in the highest celestial realm, the celestial realm and in the terrestrial realm. He will govern among a world and a people in great peace and love. Oh what a glorious world this will be!'

I thanked my glorious Heavenly Mother for coming to me today at her pocketed rock wall! I thanked her for her message of truth and hope. I am so very happy to be the recipient of these great truths from God!"

171E1-171E11: "I knelt on the soft forest floor. I pulled up my healing seer stone and it was glowing. I was curious why? I knew it shone when, in the past, I completed healing sessions for the complete healing methods (see my post 7B1). I gazed into my healing seer stone and desired to come into the presence of one or both of my Heavenly Parents.

I then realized I was surrounded by intense bright light. I asked in my mind that I might see more clearly, for the light was so intense that I was temporarily blinded. The light then lessened for me, and I saw my beautiful Heavenly Mother before me standing! She was on a gold path I thought, and there were trees on either side of her with beautiful vegetation around.

Heavenly Mother then spoke to me in my mind: 'Raphael, your healing seer stone was glowing when you looked into it this morning. My light that is shining came through to your stone, for it was here that you were to come and I called you forth. You came here through my channel of light that you saw in your stone, even into my presence, here in front of the domed room.

I have given you the experience of being blinded temporarily with the light of my presence for you to see again how different the shift from your telestial world is to the celestial world. All of our elect on the earth are now being taught by me through this intense light of the Holy Ghost that I am sending to them, even in my celestial realms in their unconscious minds. My revelation and truths are being infused into them, accompanying this light. To those who receive this light and truth, it is such a remarkable shift from their world they are used to in mortality. Like your daughters, they are thirsting for my truths and receiving as much light and knowledge as they can absorb. Being the elect of God, they desire the things of God that come by way of my Holy Spirit.

1 Corinthians 2:9-11, 14

"But as it is written, eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. (This is what our elect are now receiving and being taught)

But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. (I send my truths to them by the light of the Holy Ghost).

For what man knoweth the things of man, save the spirit of man which is in him? Even to 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."(Raphael, these truths from me can only be understood by our elect who hunger after these truths, and are illuminated by my light that teaches them, even through my Spirit. These elect are quickened by the Father and I, and come into our celestial realms to be capable of fully understanding these things of God. We know each one, and we see how they have been willing to receive and obey our truths. Those who are not our elect, or the natural man or woman, would not receive them, or understand them, or value our truths. Our "elect hear my voice and harden not their hearts." (D&C 29:7)).(words in parentheses given by Heavenly Mother)!

I told my Heavenly Mother I cherished her words, I write them down so as not to forget them, and I look to obey her and Heavenly Father in all things. I said I loved the truth and would seek her revelations always.

'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.

Raphael, I will be here on the golden path outside the domed room all the day long for you. I will continue to teach you directly here, even while you labor and live your day on earth. You are replicated before me and gladly receive my teachings, for you are one of the elect whom the Father and I have chosen.'

I thanked her for the new insights she gave to me, and for her offer to be with me today in constant prayer. I told her how much I loved her."

179J6-179J9, from Heavenly Mother: "'Raphael, trust continually your impressions and any promptings we may give you. 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."

1 Corinthians 11:11-12
11 Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.

12 For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God.

97D10-97D17: "As I looked at the temple, I saw two personages come out the door and then a bright light came from them directly to me! They were then both before me immediately. They were Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother! I gazed into their compassionate, loving faces! I felt very happy to be again in their presence, after a long workday.

Heavenly Father spoke:

'Raphael, today was a difficult day for you since you neglected to include your wife in some scheduling concerns. You both work as a team and need to counsel with each other where each of you are concerned.'

I asked my Father and Mother the following:

'My Heavenly Parents, I don't know why but I feel I tend to solo, and when stressed I often do not seek the advice of my loving spouse. Please help me to always include her on all our joint decisions and schedules.'

Heavenly Mother answered:

'Raphael, as you put forth effort to change, we will help you change old habits to one where you work fully as a team and not alone. Your Father and I always consult with each other on everything we do! We have created a plan for each of our children, our greatest treasures who are living on earth or in the spirit world, during the days of their probation. If we ever vary from our plans, we always consult together. This is our practice, and this keeps us both happy and united.

In marriages on earth, there are all varieties of relationships. Some cultures dictate that the man overlords the woman, or acts independently. This is never how a lasting relationship can endure! The husband and wife are best suited as equal partners, with each giving and taking in a relationship of love and consideration. Each should participate equally in decision-making. They each bring a different perspective and strength, much more capable as a couple than alone. We desire you and all others of our married children to strive to be equally yoked and equal partners.

1 Corinthians 11:11-12

"Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.

For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God."

There is some work that inherently is more adapted to men, like heavy lifting or hard labor. The work of cooking and preparing meals may be equally shared, unless one or the other has more time demands. Nurturing young children is more frequently done by the woman than the man, since he is often providing for the family. Each spouse also has unique talents that may greatly enrich their relationship. Love and consideration of the other should always be a dominant factor in all of their duties.'

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her words on the marriage relationship!

Heavenly Father then spoke to me:

'Raphael, today you have felt very humbled and repentant in overlooking asking your wife about a schedule issue. You will be able to change, even though this practice has continued to plague you, even as you age and mature. We help you, as you desire to change! You will change, for you and your loving wife will completely work things out in your marriage. You both will become so very happy and considerate always when together. You will show respect and be able to openly talk and come to unity about all that you do together.

Your mission will also include counseling others in marriage relationships and any relationship issue that may be troubling them. This may be a surprise to you! You will learn from the hard road of change and repentance, until you live in an exemplary marriage relationship, one that will last into the eternities!'

I said I was so grateful for his message, but that I needed a mind shift to even fathom that I could ever counsel anyone in relationship issues! I would be much more comfortable in doing any counseling together with my wife!

Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother both smiled at me then. I felt their confidence that I could change and be a much better husband and father! I thanked them for this hope and said I would work in faith on improving!

They then both extended their hands to me. I stood up from my knees and we all three turned and traveled immediately down the light beam that reappeared, back to their brightly shining temple!

I next lost my unconscious connection with my Gods and myself. I felt hope and increased desire to change my faltering ways! I thanked them for my prayer and then closed my prayer in the name of Jesus Christ."

1 Corinthians 12:14-22, 25-27
14 For the body is not one member, but many.

15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?

16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?

17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?

18 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.

19 And if they were all one member, where were the body?

20 But now are they many members, yet but one body.

21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.

22 Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:

25 That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.

26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.

27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

200B1-200B8: "I have thought more about how people in the millennium will not judge each other based on their beliefs. There will surely not be situations like temple recommend interviews where people are judged on what they believe, if they believe a certain way or not. Instead those that are set to judge the people will ensure they act in accordance with the established laws. If they live in Zion, they must live the laws of Zion and have made a covenant to continue to bear one another's burdens, that they may be light. They need to take upon them the name of Christ, and live a wholesome and pure life. They will not, however, be judged on what they think nor what they believe is truth.

2. I am still trying to wrap my mind around this change. I think and feel all kinds of things, different from another in my family or neighbor. Whether I believe President Nelson is a prophet or not should not exclude me from full membership in the church, or set me at odds with other members. What unites us should be a common cause of Christ and his teachings, and our willingness to act as he said we should.

3. I came to commune with my Heavenly Father this morning at the desert oasis on the celestial orb. He came quickly and confirmed these Zion concepts and rules to me.

4. He spoke: 'Raphael, in our Zion society, we want you and others to freely be able to voice their opinions without fear of being judged or removed from Zion. The only judgment our leaders and guards will exercise will be on their actions of being loving and Christlike, and their willingness to accept Jesus Christ and the covenant of Zion. This will make a very safe environment in which to dwell. We want to foster individual beliefs and uniqueness, for all are different and that is how we created them. There is not pressure to conform one's own uniqueness to the whole. All are accepted and loved.

5. This is akin to what Paul the apostle said about the needful parts of the body. So it is in a diverse society of members in the true Church of Christ.

1 Corinthians 12:14-22, 25-27 (see above)

Raphael, we want our church to allow the free exercise of thoughts, beliefs, talents and the uniqueness of all, that all might be benefited. All have a common purpose which is centered in the covenant of Zion to accept and love one another, under the head of our Son, Jesus Christ. We never want to stifle the great diversity of our children, even in their thoughts or beliefs or abilities we have given to them.'

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his words. I said I would seek to understand these new ideas, and become of his and Heavenly Mother's mind on this thing."

1 Corinthians 13:10,12
10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

143E4-143E17: "We are on the cusp of the day when the veil of unbelief is being lifted from our minds:

1 Corinthians 13:12–"For now we see through a glass darkly; but then face to face: Now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known."

This morning I came to God's Loving Healing Lake. I felt like Heavenly Mother would come this morning to instruct me in my prayer. I sought to be open, humble, receptive and very clear. I was in a meditative state.

I knelt in front of the bench up off the northern shore of the lake, and faced the water. I bowed my head and asked for my Heavenly Mother to come.

Heavenly Mother then came in a stream of light from her higher celestial realm, just 10 feet or so up in front of me! She stepped right before me! Her face was filled with light, sparkling eyes and a broad smile. I felt so happy to be in her presence!

She spoke: 'Raphael, stand and take my hand as we walk around this beautiful lake!'

I immediately stood and took her hand. Her hand was brightly shining, like the rest of her body, and I could feel it, for I knew she was flesh and bones–a glorious resurrected exalted being!

'Raphael, your mind has been very enlightened by all of our abundant revelations. You have proven us, your Gods, and we have opened to "you the windows of heaven, and poured you out a blessing that there has not been room enough to receive it." 3 Ne 24:10). You can hardly retain in your conscious mind all of these truths you have received!

Nevertheless, you have written, caused to be typed up and indexed, and soon made into a printable format all of our revelations to you so far. For you, and for those who read and study our revelations through you, and those who sustain you and share their own revelations with you, we will reveal all of these hidden things. These are truly "great and marvelous things!"

You have kept these truths hidden from the world, and even largely from your spouse and family. You just proceed, being guided as you feel impressed to do and how to act. You have wondered how the unveiling of these truths at a future day will happen, and how they will be received.

We have shared with you a plan of how we wish your posts from your journals to be shared with the faithful. We desire that these are shared based on the inspirations we give to those who read and know them now, with this small group of nine people. We may also inspire those to whom we wish to reveal to them, to find your website online and then email you directly. We are directing the access of your revelations to those whom we will. These are our revelations and truths and constitute our great and marvelous things.

I will begin inspiring your supporters and those to whom we wish to share these truths with, by my Holy Ghost. My inspiration will come steadily and softly to their unconscious minds. As they pray to the Father, and or to me, in the name of Jesus Christ, we will lead them gradually to the next step for them personally. By these small means will our record gradually become known and shared among the faithful.

After your own land will be invaded, and after the remnants of Israel will hearken to our voice and come in their humility and our power upon this land to cleanse the land of the armies, then will we also start sharing our revelations through you with them. Even though most of the remnants of Israel in that day won't be able to read your language, we will make your words understandable to them as they read. This will be like when they speak or you speak, each will understand in their own minds and heart what each are saying. We will also make your words, written in English, to become understood as they seek to read them, even in their minds and in their own language. By this means we will individually lead them in reading your records, as fast as we wish to reveal to them our revelations.

In that day, many of our faithful terrestrial elect mortals will understand your words from your record, for they will either hear and/or read them in their own language, to their own understandings. We will enlighten and witness to them our truths, in similar ways as we have revealed them to you and your own small group of supporters. These are our remnants of Israel, who at that day believe in us and in all of our revelations and truths.

2 Nephi 30:6-10-

"And then shall they rejoice; for they shall know that it is a blessing unto them from the hand of God; and their scales of darkness shall begin to fall from their eyes; and many generations shall not pass away among them, save they shall be a pure and a delightsome people.

And it shall come to pass that the Jews which are scattered also shall begin to believe in Christ; and they shall begin to gather in upon the face of the land; and as many as shall believe in Christ shall also become a delightsome people.

And it shall come to pass that the Lord God shall commence his work among all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people, to bring about the restoration of his people upon the earth.

And with righteousness shall the Lord God judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth. And he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth; and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.

For the time speedily cometh that the Lord God will cause a great division among the people, and the wicked will he destroy; and he will spare his people, yea, even if it so be that he must destroy the wicked by fire."'"

160L8-160L13: "S wrote you an email this morning that you have read over twice. He wrote about first perceiving me spiritually only in his prayer, then through a glass darkly, and finally in my full countenance and glory, even as you see me now. This is a process we take each of our mortal children through who diligently seek us with humble, sincere and open hearts. You have sought us diligently and continue to do so. We have gradually come to you, even until we regularly visit with you twice a day. We will do so for everyone of our children who approach us with all of their hearts and minds. Everyone who comes to us will receive of our countenance in their own order and time.

Ask S to share his email on your post, and then conclude your post 160 with his email. We want you to name this post "The Light of God's Countenance".'

The scripture found in D&C 88:63 then came into my mind from my Father:

"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."

Heavenly Father then stepped closer and embraced me! I felt the joy of his countenance come into me, and fill me with his peace and acceptance!

My vision closed and I now conclude my prayer. I then started my Sabbath day.

Here is S's email from this morning:
5-24-2020

R,

I hope all is well with you and your family. I wanted to share two recent journals.

5/20/20:

In prayer I called upon my Heavenly Parents. I felt to pray that I might be humble and be led by god in my life. I desired my heart to be meek and lowly before god so that I might follow god with all my being. I immediately began to hear Heavenly Father speak to my mind, but I could not see him. He said, "It is I, your Heavenly Father who speaks to your mind clearly. You cannot see me now, but you spiritually perceive me in front of you and my words come clearly to your mind. Consider your prayers earlier in your life when you often repeated thoughts or rote phrases and then went to bed or went on with your day. It took time, practice, and a desire to commune with us your Heavenly Parents. Many are not aware that such communications is even possible. Many records will come forth in Zion as an example of such communion. These records will bolster the faith and give an example for many to follow." At this point I saw Heavenly Father's silhouette behind a thick, dark glass. He continued speaking, "Many of our elect are complacent in their current world. As their expectations for their world and future shatter before their very eyes, many will begin to seek us openly, with no expectations. As their ability to provide for themselves or their family crumbles before them, and their future looks bleak or unsustainable, they will then come before us with open hearts, open minds, and we can then lead them along. Many will come to a point where their only desire is to follow our directions in their life. At this time the glass between us shattered and I saw great light and love beaming from the very presence of my Heavenly Father. He was smiling at me. He spoke, "I long for the day when many of my children may seek my face, desire to enter my presence, and have the light of my countenance to shine upon them!" I thanked my Heavenly Father for his love and message to me this morning. I prayed to recall his message as best I could and record it accurately. I then embraced my Heavenly Father and felt his great love for me. This scene faded from my mind's view as I closed my prayer.

1 Corinthians 13:12

For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known."

162E7-162E16, from Heavenly Father: "M.A. asked more about her pursuit and desire to see our faces more clearly, rather than through a glass darkly, like the scripture in 1 Corinthians 13:12 refers to:

1 Corinthians 13:12–

"For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known."

It is very necessary to connect to one's unconscious mind, even in a quiet and meditative state, in order to initially break through the fog or like the glass that prevents our mortal child from viewing us face to face. Our mortal children are used to seeing through their conscious minds, with their physical eyesight. However, spiritual things are perceived and seen unconsciously, with spiritual perception and spiritual eyesight. This is enhanced by our Spirit, or our light that comes upon our humble and open child.

Were you to gaze upon me this morning, with your spiritual eyes, you could see me, my face, my eyes, my robes–all enveloped in my glory and light. You hear my voice that speaks to you in your mind, coming into your thoughts clearly. This is all common for you now, and is very real. You have developed the spiritual skill to hear us and connect into your unconscious mind where you receive these things.

In the process of learning this skill of spiritual perception in mortality, we require our child to be quiet and meditative, and seek us with all their hearts. We gradually reveal more and more, even as our child is persistent and open to our promptings and follows what we inspire him or her to do. The more our child consistently does this, pushing to perceive more, the more we open to him/ her. This is not imagination, but a gradual awakening to viewing us, his/ her Gods, and are seen and perceived in the higher spiritual realms.

We love our children 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). They shall also be rewarded along the way in seeing and perceiving us, their Gods, more and more clearly, and in developing greater and greater spiritual perceptions, even in the mortal mind as their unconscious mind becomes more open to them. We gradually lift the veil that blocks the unconscious minds of our mortal children from their darkness.

These things are all real and true! We will carefully lead and gently guide our elect children to us, to help them receive more and more, even as they press forward in diligence and faith.'

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his beautiful explanation of these changes we receive in our path to see God, even in our mortal flesh!

At this moment, in my private room where I was writing all of this in my journal, the sunshine came from behind a cloud and shone bright light into my room through the east window. These spiritual experiences are kind of like this, with the Spirit of God illuminating our minds with greater clarity at times, and with greater light, or enlightenment. We cannot force these things, but only be persistent with an eye of faith (see Ether 12:19).

My Heavenly Father smiled upon me, then departed back up into the column of light, back through the treetops, and was gone. I felt his light and peace rest and remain in me. I then closed my prayer and came out in the front room to be with my wife."

185J3-185J18, from Heavenly Father: "He came and stood before me, a little elevated in the air. His robes were exceedingly white and shining it seemed to me. I gazed into his kindly face and into his eternity eyes. He had a great feeling of peace and serenity about him.

He spoke to me: 'Raphael, when you are able to view and perceive in my mind my peace and serenity, in your mind's eye as you are now doing, you may be assured that you are in my presence. You cannot perceive this feeling and view without being before me.

This view comes to you in your unconscious mind which you may perceive even in your mortal mind in your quiet and meditative states. You are now in this state of stillness and meditation where you may perceive and even view these things in your mind.

Since your Heavenly Mother and I are by your side continually, what you need to do to behold our faces is to slow down your life to the point where you enter into this prayerful and meditative state. You may be able to do this even during your mortal day, even in the midst of other events and activities. This takes practice, and it requires you to slow down and concentrate in your mind what you desire to behold, even our faces and presence. In this way you will know and be connected to us, your Heavenly Parents, at all times.'

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."

204E2-204E6: "I came this morning to the circling waters in Heavenly Mother's upper garden. I drank living water from the stream, and knelt on the soft grass at the water's edge. I faced south towards the river and the waterfall. I asked for my Heavenly Mother to come to me. I was intent on seeing her more clearly, and for taking my time in viewing her face and being. I looked towards the south, awaiting her arrival.

I tried to see my surroundings and my southern view in greater reality. I shut my mortal natural eyes, and paused in writing in my journal. I began to meditate more fully. I prayed in my mind: 'Oh my Gods, may I view my Heavenly Mother in my mortal conscious mind, because I have the gift of a merged mind and have this capability.'

I saw my surroundings, like through a glass darkly (see 1 Corinthians 13:12). I had a hard time seeing any color, or anything for that matter. I then saw my Heavenly Mother in the far distant southern sky, gradually coming to me. I saw the light of her being, but not clearly. She soon came right in front of me, and I looked upon her, from her feet, to her robe, and gold colored sash, and then to her neck and face. Her face was more clear than anything else I saw. I saw her mouth and her smile, her nose, her sparkling eyes. I sought to see her more and more clearly. She then asked me to write her words in my journal:

'Raphael, do not be discouraged that it is not clear to you to see your surroundings and my being in front of you. You are doing everything you can to behold me in your conscious mind. It will come as you persist in morning and evening prayer, and we will help you see us in full vision and clarity. Once you see a little more, you will retain that ability. You will soon see us clearly in your mortal conscious mind, even face to face. Once you see, you will be able to let go that which you have only seen in part in our interactions, even as described in 1 Corinthians 13:10:

"But when that which is perfect (the view of our beings and of your surroundings in your conscious mind) is come, then that which is in part (what you have seen before in your unconscious mind in your previous prayers) shall be done away." (words in parenthesis from Heavenly Mother)."

1 Corinthians 13:13
13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

95L1-95L13: "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!"

2 Corinthians 12:5-10
5 Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities.

6 For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me.

7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.

8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.

9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

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."

2 Corinthians 13:1
1 This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.

201L20-201L24: "I received this email on 8-4-2021 from S.A. after I asked if she would be willing to pray about what I recorded about my trumpet proclamation:

"Hello R! I'll share with you my journal of what I received in prayer today.

I came in prayer above the temple in the New Jerusalem with my Heavenly Parents. I saw the scene from this morning with Raphael standing above the temple and blowing his trumpet of God.

I wondered where and how it would really happen for their children to hear this message to come to Zion in their subconscious minds.

My Heavenly Mother spoke: 'Similar to when you felt drawn to move to Snowflake, by the inspiration of our Spirit given to you, so will our children feel when they hear this call from Raphael to come to Zion, in their subconscious minds. They will feel deeply moved by this and a great desire to flee for their safety where they can gather with the righteous.

We have a plan for each of our elect and will share this event and it's message to them in a timely manner, when it is needful for them to hear.

For some, it will be a trek by foot to Zion. Others will be gathered after they have begun their trek by the 144,000, and will then be brought to Zion. Some will feel a desire to be ready and will soon teleport there with the help of our called servants.'

I looked down and saw next Rapahel with his sword overhead, and lightning reaching upwards to the sky from it. It was quite dramatic and I thought it would leave a deep impression on those who witnessed or will witness this event. I saw myself below in the crowd of celestial servants.

I then wondered if the northern tribes in Zion saw this event.

Heavenly Father spoke: 'Some will be able to see it in their subconscious minds and this will buoy them up in their efforts to build up Zion for the aid of their fellowman, and in preparation for the return of the Savior!'

I sensed a sacred reverence at the beginning of the event, with the blowing of the trumpet. After the final words were spoken by Raphael, there was great excitement, rejoicing and tears of joy in many eyes.

I then looked at my Heavenly Parents and felt that my Heavenly Father had an abundance of satisfaction in his fatherly role of providing for his children's needs and protecting them with his meticulously made upcoming plans for his elect who flee Babylon.

I looked at Heavenly Mother and could sense her happiness to be providing comfort, love, direction, and fulfilling her role as our Heavenly Mother by nurturing her children in gentle ways in their day of great distress soon coming.

I then gave thanks to my Heavenly Parents, and was full of great emotion as I felt of their great and deep love as the parents of us all, and of their divine roles as our Father and Mother. They are so true to these roles, and I felt very impressed by this realization of their great and specific work and roles they each have in providing for us during these last days. I then closed my prayer.

Sending my best,
S.A."

Here is my email back to S.A. on 8-5-2021:

"Wow, what a second witness you received, S.A.! Thank you! I so appreciate you receiving such remarkable details, and being so observant in your prayer. You have truly a remarkable ability to connect in prayer to our Heavenly Parents, and receive revelation from our Gods.

May I share this at the end of post 201? Thanks again! I will reread this multiple times I know, for this was great!

Warmly,
R"

Here is what S.A. wrote back to me:

"Yes you sure can! I was particularly moved by the words you spoke yesterday standing above their temple. "God will send angels to go before you to prepare your way. Depart quickly lest sudden destruction come upon you."

The song Come to Zion ran through my head and I began to sing it out loud as I pondered your message. I got emotional as I sang it, for I realized there would be great safety to follow the Spirit and flee, and no safety to remain.

Have a blessed day!
S.A."

I also received this email from S entitled "Israel, Israel God is Calling" on 8-5-2021:

"R,

I read the invitation to the 12 tribes to come to Zion from yesterday. I felt great peace as I read this account. I wanted to pray and ask if it was true. Here is my account from this morning.

8/5/21 AM

In prayer, I desired to ask about Raphael's proclamation for the tribes of Israel to come to Zion, the New Jerusalem.

I heard my Heavenly Parents invite me to their sides above the spire of the celestial temple in the New Jerusalem. As I focused on this location, I came to their sides. They were both happy, smiling, and full of light. As I looked down, I saw green grass, green trees and plants surrounding this area. It all looked so beautiful and thriving.

Heavenly Father spoke first: 'This is the location where we directed Raphael to invite our elect to come to Zion yesterday. This call has now gone forth. In the coming days, weeks, months and years, many will heed this call. The hymn words "Come to zion, come to zion" (Hymn #7 Israel, Israel God is calling) are fitting for this exact time. The timing for each child to come is unique and personal for all will not come at once. Each is to wait for us, their Heavenly Parents, to direct them as to their timing for departure.'

Heavenly Mother spoke: 'You felt our spirit as you read the words I gave to Raphael about not worrying about your departure and that we would order all things so you will be able to depart as we desire. This message was intended for you too, and will bring you peace as you wait for our directive to you personally. We will order the events and circumstances in your life that you may freely leave your current life and travel. (I thought of how Jesus Christ completely trusted in his Heavenly Parents from day to day during his ministry and he did not worry but trusted in their care with great faith).

Heavenly Father spoke again: 'Be at peace and let your worries depart. We will be by your side. We will bless you and strengthen you to fulfill all that we direct you to do.'

I began to cry as I felt their love and warmth envelop me. This scene closed before me and I ended my prayer in Jesus name.

==

Your friend,

S"

My email back to S:

"Thank you S for sharing such a beautiful experience you had in prayer! I felt the Spirit as I read what you wrote. Thank you for this additional witness!

2 Corinthians 13:1

". . . In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established"

Your sister S.A. also wrote to me this morning with her remarkable witness too. I expect she will give me permission to share it. I plan to put both of your accounts next to each other to close out my post 201.

I love how our Heavenly Parents uses both of us to answer each other's prayers, like in referencing D&C 84. Thank you again!

Warmly,
R""

Ephesians 4:12-15
12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

13 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:

14 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;

15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:

168K5-168K9: "Heavenly Father then spoke: 'Raphael, as you pondered this morning your two visions your Heavenly Mother shared with you yesterday, you wondered how you could change so much from a timid young boy to the confident man of God with such a responsibility as we will give you. Yet this is all true, and will surely happen even as you have witnessed.

Raphael, your Heavenly Mother and I take great delight in shaping our faithful children into great men and women. We endow them with more and more of our Spirit as they are obedient to our gentle promptings. We form them like clay into what we see them becoming, according to our foreknowledge. Truly we shape them as the potter, if they themselves are willing to bend to our will and listen to our gentle promptings. This is our great work and glory, and what we delight in! It is just not getting them to be fully obedient to us, and desiring to live and be with us continually, but also shaping their character, skills, talents, and abilities to become mighty men and women of God. Each of our exalted sons and daughters have a unique path wherein we have helped them and shaped them into what they become in eternity.

You were reminiscing about friends you had, in your early marriage with your wife recently. One was expecting her first child and was a newlywed. She still wore clothes that were feminine that her mother had chosen, but after she was married, she gradually changed and became more of a no-nonsense woman, and started wearing very plain clothes. She was becoming her own self after she was married and no longer living with her mother.

Similarly, we desire each of our children to grow into the person they really desire to become. By giving them experiences in their mortal lives, they develop and grow into their own person with their own desires and personality. We enhance what they desire and choose, and help them become the very best of who they decide to be. For our faithful, they grow into the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, even unto a perfect man or a perfect woman. We mold them like clay, if they are malleable and willing to follow our directions and keep our commandments. In the process, we do not change their personality, but enhance what they truly are and desire.

Ephesian 4: 12-13

"For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

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:""

181B22-181B25, from Heavenly Father: "The example of Jesus is for all our children when we give them a difficult task that only they can do. They need to press forward, with faith and great diligence, relying wholly upon us and yet working as if all depends on their own effort and work. It is in these high intensity moments as well as in the day to day pressing forward efforts that our children grow into the stronger servants, the men or women we see them becoming. They thus become perfected, even "unto a perfect man (or woman), unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ." (Ephesians 4:13, comments added by Heavenly Father). Our beloved Son has descended below all things (see D&C 122:8), which means he has fulfilled the greatest task and mission of any of our children, and thereby has set forth the example to all of pressing forward, with great diligence and faith, in order to fulfill our commandments.

Whenever you might feel that the task we have asked you to do is too great, or beyond your capability, or that it requires too much effort, then remember that Jesus Christ descended below all things, and thus was exalted above all, for he was fully obedient to all we commanded him. We will never abandon you, but will be by your side to buoy you up and to strengthen you in fulfilling all of our commandments. By pressing forth, you will fulfill our words, and will become a stronger and more capable servant in our hands.'

I asked my Father to help me continue to grow in these things and to be diligent always. I said it was my greatest desire to go forward in faith in whatever he may direct me to do. I said I was so very grateful for him and Heavenly Mother constantly being next to me. I said I loved their support and comfort, and to know that they were by my side.

Heavenly Father smiled and said he was pleased in my efforts so far. He said he had still chosen me to be his servant to do all things he and Heavenly Mother had previously revealed for me to accomplish."

187J4-187J14, from Heavenly Mother: "She then spoke: 'My son, in planning for your advent into mortality, your Father and I chose to give you weaknesses of the flesh related to not being connected to your emotions. We have had you raised in a home where feelings were not expressed much, and where you were stunted in feeling and identifying them. This has continued to be a struggle for you in your mortal life. These disconnections with your emotions are not part of who you are, but are mortal weaknesses we gave to you in order to help you remain humble and to struggle and grow to connect to your feelings. You are doing well in becoming reconnected with these emotions, even in your mortal body on earth.

Your loving wife has helped you immensely in your struggle to become more aware and to see life in reality. She is a wonderful example to you of how to act in Christ-like love. She said to you the other day that the way she shows her love for God is to serve and bless his children all around her. She is very good at doing so, and you are richly blessed to have her in your life!

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."

Ephesians 5:25-28
25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;

26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.

Christ's love for the church is the pattern of loving our wives and family. Love our wives as our own body is showing love for ourselves

Ephesians 6:12-18
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

97E12-97E15: "Heavenly Father came directly in front of me, above the edge a little in the air. He spoke immediately:

'Raphael, you and your wife enjoyed visiting with your oldest son today. He said that in the past year or so there had been a dramatic increase in power that energy workers are now doing. He even mentioned that angels were known to come to healers like him and assist them in their work, to be done in great effectiveness and strength.

Raphael, these are our healing angels who are now receiving our direction to more dramatically heal the people. When a healer like your son does energy work, we often send our healing angels to act in our power and authority to that healer. Our angel comes in the celestial realms, where they are generally not seen. Our healing influence goes through our healing angel through the healer and then to the person seeking healing. We are doing this to counter the ever-increasing evil on the earth. As evil increases, our love and light also increases among our elect. There are more of our angels working from the celestial realms on the earth than we have ever had before! These are all working night and day, per our directions, in administering to the faithful and those seeking our blessings.

On the dark side, Satan and his evil hosts are acting in more violence and anger than ever before. You, Raphael, are escorting many per day to the remote prison orb, for those who have overstepped their bounds. There is a real war for the souls of men and women on the earth. The battle rages between the hosts of the righteous, who stand behind Jesus Christ, and the hosts of the devil, even Lucifer. The adversary uses many spiritual weapons of war to afflict and torment man. However, with my shields for the elect, Satan and his hosts cannot afflict these, our faithful, with their many spiritual weapons.

We will win the battle! Our faithful need to take upon themselves the whole armour of God:

Ephesians 6:12-18 (see above)."

Philippians 4:7
7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

146F6-146F15: "Heavenly Father then spoke: 'Raphael, you have experienced since last night in communion with your Heavenly Mother the "peace of God, which passeth all understanding" (Philippians 4:7). This is the comforter, even the presence and Spirit of your Heavenly Mother.

John 14:16-17

"And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that (she) may abide with you for ever;

Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth (her) not, neither knoweth (her): but ye know (her); for (she) dwelleth with you, and shall be in you." (words in parentheses changed by Heavenly Father).

In this eternity, the role of a comforter has been assigned to your Heavenly Mother. She is also the loving Mother of each of our earthly children. More than anyone or anything else, she knows how to comfort her own, the elect whom I have chosen.

The clouds of darkness and adversity may swirl around you, but with her peace and comfort, you shall have such assurance and contentment so that nothing else matters much. In turn, you may help settle those around you and bring the love of God into their presence also.

Raphael, your Heavenly Mother, Jesus Christ, and I have this deep peace and joy always with us. We see the past, present and future. We know how to succor and lead our people in ways of peace, like we feel, and of safety. Fear flees away in our presence, for we are filled with peace.

You may wonder how we can be filled with peace, even when we initiate the whirlwinds of calamity soon coming upon the wicked and the world? We initiate this destruction so that the wicked will pass away and the beautiful world of the terrestrial millennium may come! The passing away of the evil and telestial will be relatively quick. The gathering of our elect will come in not many years. You will soon be in a world filled with peace and beauty, freed from Satan's influence. We will make all things new, even to the filling of our people with joy and consolation!

Isaiah 51:6-8, 11-12

"Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.

Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings.

For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool: but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation from generation to generation.

...Therefore the redeemed of the Lord shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away.

I, even I, am he that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the son of man which shall be made as grass."'

Heavenly Father then reached down to me with both of his arms. He pulled me gently up to him, where he was standing above me in the air. I stood in front of him and he embraced me and kissed me! He then spoke to me in a whisper:

'Raphael, our peace and comfort shall not depart from you! You will feel great peace, even with the wind whirling around you, for your Heavenly Mother and I will be with you!

This is the same promise we give to each of our elect who come unto us in the way you have approached us. If they will humble themselves before us and seek our comfort and peace, we will come to them and will not leave them comfortless. They will then experience no fear, for that is of the telestial world. We will make them changed, even to a terrestrial state where they more fully feel of our peace and love. This great peace will wrap them in our security and ever watchful eye!'

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his great promise to me and to the elect! I felt so elevated to be in his presence and in the presence of my Heavenly Mother last night! They have all under control, and will order all things for the blessing of their children."

______________________________

Philippians 4:13
13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

56A2-56A9, from Heavenly Mother: "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.'"

111B3-118B9: "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."'"

185I7-185I14, 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."

1 Thessalonians 5:2-3
2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

60N5-60N15, from Heavenly Father: "'Raphael, come enter into my gate, and travel the straight and narrow path to eternal life!'

I thanked him and entered the gold path, holding onto the iron rod. I came to the tree of life without incident, for which I was very glad. I plucked a fruit and a leaf. The fruit of the tree glowed in my hand.

I then went to the fir forest, in a beautiful darkened area just west of the overlook to Heavenly Father's wheat field. I ate the fruit, preparing myself with more love for my immediate family. I ate the leaf, seeking to guard my mind and heart against the difficulties I would be required to pass through.

I then knelt and prayed to my Father and Mother. I waited. I then could see both my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother climbing up the hillside, coming to the overlook! They stood and brushed off their soiled robes. They both beckoned me to come to them at the overlook where they had climbed up.

I stood and quickly came to them. They both seemed very glad to see me. Heavenly Mother said they had been helping rescue the elect now in the world, in Heavenly Father's wheat fields below, during the days of tribulation that is coming upon the world.

Heavenly Father brought me to the edge of the overlook, to where they had just climbed. He spoke:

'Raphael, my wheat field has been harvested, and we have gathered our elect into garners where they are protected.'

I looked on the field and I saw different sections of it experiencing various calamities. I saw fire, I saw famine and plague, I saw war and fighting. In some areas I saw devastating earthquakes and huge upheavals. In others I saw high-speed winds, and in others flooding. I saw commotions of the ground and weather, of all varieties! I saw all of these, but the elect were more protected from these devastations somehow, protected by the angels and others gatherers. Most people were angry with God, or didn't believe in God but still cursed God and nature.

Heavenly Father waved his arm over his field.

I then saw all of the destruction was gone, ready for planting! Heavenly Father then was there, broadcasting wheat seed on the fertile soil. He walked back and forth over the field, spreading the seed as he went.

Next I saw that he had fully planted his entire field! He came back to the overlook, and a mist from his river on the east side of the field came over the field and fully watered all.

Heavenly Father then waved his arm over the field below. I next saw the green sprouted wheat growing vigorously! It was at the same height as in the recent experience I had on Sunday during the sacrament. The wheat was 5-7 inches in height. The sky was blue, and there was abundant light all around. There was also great peace.

Heavenly Father then waved his hand over his field again. I then saw the wheat, fully mature and ready for harvesting. These had grown up without sin unto salvation. There was no sign of any devastations in the field. I could see Heavenly Father was very pleased with the growth and maturity of his wheat field.

Heavenly Father spoke:

'Raphael, think of this view of my wheat field when you are required to pass through hardships of all varieties to help save our elect in your current world. This (he moved his right arm over his field) is what your new earth will have in abundance!'

I thanked my Heavenly Father for my vivid prayer this morning! I felt lots of peace and meaning in the work that I would be doing in the days ahead."

2 Thessalonians 2:3-4
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

Sun, Oct 15, 2023
The falling away first is not just the dark ages, but also the people falling away from God, including the later-day church which surely will fall away before that man of sin will be revealed in the temple.

1 Timothy 3:7
7 Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

108H1-108H3: "I came to the bench at the desert oasis. As I sat on the bench, Heavenly Mother appeared next to me on the bench. She was loving and smiling at me. She spoke: 'Raphael, we will answer the prayers of our children who seek for truth. This is an illusive pursuit among our children on earth without our direction and guidance. Were we to not inspire and direct them, they would never come to the knowledge of the truth: 2 Timothy 3:7–"Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth."

The way to know the truth is to learn to trust our Spirit, the light of truth that comes upon you as you sincerely seek us diligently. We will speak peace and truth to your souls. I will come unto you, and not leave you comfortless. Feelings may be fickle if you trust in them only. However, my Spirit will speak to your spirit, and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free. (John 8:32)'

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her words. I said I am always seeking their truth. I asked for a blessing upon my family to find the truth and for all truth seekers to be blessed with the Spirit. Heavenly Mother then smiled and was instantly gone."

2 Timothy 4:3-5
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

43A3-43A8: "I attended sacrament meeting with my wife. She asked me about the scripture with itching ears. Here it is, in 2 Timothy 4:3-4:

"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables."

This sounds exactly like what I experienced this past week with false notions and magic beliefs! These could be named just as easily 'fables' as in verse 4 above. The lusts spoken of in verse 3 refer, I believe, to pleasurable words and thoughts that people want to hear–like fables they think that God did in their behalf (false notions).

This reminded me of Helaman 13:26-29. It reads:

"Behold ye are worse than they; for as the Lord liveth, if a prophet come among you and declareth unto you the word of the Lord, which testifieth of your sins and iniquities, ye are angry with him, and cast him out and seek all manner of ways to destroy him; yea, you will say that he is a false prophet, and that he is a sinner, and of the devil, because he testifieth that your deeds are evil.

But behold, if a man shall come among you and shall say: Do this, and there is no iniquity; do that and ye shall not suffer; yea, he will say: Walk after the pride of your own hearts; yea, walk after the pride of your eyes, and do whatsoever your heart desireth—and if a man shall come among you and say this, ye will receive him, and say that he is a prophet.

Yea, ye will lift him up, and ye will give unto him of your substance; ye will give unto him of your gold, and of your silver, and ye will clothe him with costly apparel; and because he speaketh flattering words unto you, and he saith that all is well, then ye will not find fault with him.

O ye wicked and ye perverse generation; ye hardened and ye stiffnecked people, how long will ye suppose that the Lord will suffer you? Yea, how long will ye suffer yourselves to be led by foolish and blind guides? Yea, how long will ye choose darkness rather than light?"

To me, this seems like what is happening already in the LDS Church! The leaders I believe teach a culture and pattern that is filled with stories and interpretation of scriptures that flatter the people (verse 28), and are pleasurable to hear, feeding their lusts. They tell us we are doing right things, and all is well in the church and with the people. As a result, we pay our tithes and offerings (giving them our gold and silver, verse 28) and hold them up as our prophets whom we love to hear. I almost think a lot of what they say is in the category of false notions, magic beliefs and fables.

The Lord wants the people to hear truths from heaven, not words that appease our itching ears!

Anyway, we read these two scriptures before the meeting started.

During the sacrament, I found myself at the overlook on the pine forest, looking south towards the tree of life and the temple. There was a sloping hill, a green hill actually, leading up to the overlook. We sang 'There Was a Green Hill Far Away' as the sacrament hymn.

I made my covenant, and then partook of the bread. Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother appeared before me in the air. Heavenly Father spoke to my mind"

'Raphael, I accept your covenant that you have made this day before us.

What you have just read, about itching ears and turning away from the truth, and turning instead to fables, is what the people in your area are now doing. It is best for my people to know the truth, to rid themselves of false notions and teachings, and magic stories."

79M2-79H5. from Heavenly Mother: "Yesterday at church in the ward, you were comfortable during the sacrament portion of the meeting, but not in the remainder of the meeting with the two speakers. This is normal for you to connect to us during the sacrament and then to feel nothing during the remainder of the talks. We are also weary of those meetings! They seem to go on and on, without inspirations, all trying to boost and elevate each other:

Isaiah 1: 12–15

"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, event he 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."

You asked your wife yesterday why you felt so much lack of the spirit, even being quite upsetness, at the people. Your views have been greatly changing of true religion. You no longer accept the normal LDS cultural flow. These words and actions are sometimes repulsive to you. You yearn for a better spiritual environment where we bless you and the people with our light and love. This all makes you feel very lonely, estranged from the people whom you once thought were your friends with whom you could share your feelings.

Raphael, there will come a day of enlightenment and spiritual uplift! Right now there is no place to turn except to us in daily connective prayer to find peace and our light. Endure with patience these difficult days! We too are weary of our wayward children:

2 Timothy 4:3–5–

"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables

But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.""

159A3-159A15, from Heavenly Father: "'Raphael, we desire to awaken our elect that I have chosen in the gentlest way possible. However, they tend to keep doing the things they do, and believe the things they believe in, many which are misguided and not true. We reach out to them often, but they dismiss our still, small voice, thinking these impressions are their own thoughts and not from us. They don't pause in their lives to question of us and confirm that these subtle spiritual feelings are really from us, their Heavenly Parents. Your Heavenly Mother, Jesus Christ and I suffer rejection from these, our elect, time and time again!

We therefore have now placed our elect in a more uprooted environment where they no longer may return to their old lifestyles. We prefer they start to question everything in their lives so that in the state of wondering and questioning, we may guide them.

Our elect among the Latter-day Saints are particularly adept at making up stories about how we, their Gods are orchestrating their lives. However, the basis for these make-believe stories is based on many false beliefs and misconceptions. It is hard for us to shape their minds when they are so used to creating detailed stories of how we have favored them and their loved ones, in sometimes fantastic untrue stories. We would love them to be open, humble, penitent, seeking forgiveness from us, and then approach us with inquiring minds, with a determination to listen to us and not to man or their own stories.

Making up thoughts that put their actions in a positive light with a make-believe story is a way to rewrite their personal history in their own mind. They may in this way continue to sin or delude themselves that they are truly more favored or elite than others in God's eyes. It is difficult for us to reach those who do this. Paul explained this behavior in his epistle to Timothy:

2 Timothy 4:3-4–

"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables."

We will have a contrite people, even if it so be that we humble them, to where they must look squarely at their own situation, and then no longer make up their false stories. We want them to come to us humbly and openly. It is only with a contrite and a humble spirit that they will begin to hear us and do as we say:

Isaiah 57:15–

"For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones." '

My Father stopped speaking. He was looking off in the distance. I then believe he was seeing his chosen elect in a future day, finally humbled sufficiently to approach him with an open heart and a contrite spirit.

'Raphael, we can only build Zion, the pure in heart, from a foundation of openness and willingness to cast aside their personal sins, their ungodly ways and beliefs, and consider themselves fools before God:

2 Nephi 9:42–

"And whoso knocketh, to him will he open; and the wise, and the learned, and they that are rich, who are puffed up because of their learning, and their wisdom, and their riches—yea, they are they whom he despiseth; and save they shall cast these things away, and consider themselves fools before God, and come down in the depths of humility, he will not open unto them." '

Heavenly Father stopped speaking. He seemed so compassionate to those who would need to be compelled to be humble (see Alma 32:13), rather than be humble and open on their own. I believe he was looking with compassion upon the hardships these elect need to endure to arrive at an acceptable point of humility before him.

I thanked him for his revelation this morning. I told him I would be open and penitent, and let flow into me his great truths without any barrier on my part, or any qualifications based on any story that I may make up. I asked him to bless me with a humble and contrite heart and an open mind.

He reached his right hand and touched my head. He spoke: 'Raphael, I have chosen you from the beginning partly because you are open and receptive, and will hear my words without rewriting them. We may then speak and you will listen and hear our truths, and write them down. We are pleased with your current state before us, my son!'

I bowed my head and thanked him gratefully. He then departed and I ended my prayer."

Hebrews 5:4
4 And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron.

140G14-140G17, from Heavenly Father: "He placed his hand on my shoulder and spoke: 'Raphael, we call whom we will call to do our work in these last days.

Hebrews 5:4

"And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron."

Raphael, you would have continued living your own life in your world had your Mother and I not called you to your holy calling. It has taken us many years to mold you like clay into the man of God we wish you to be. You are now commissioned and ordained with my power to do our great work. Through you we will orchestrate much of our work in the celestial realms of glory to bring to pass our strange work, and our strange act. You have been the recipient of our calling, my son!'

Heavenly Father then left my side. I was surprised at his simple and clear message. I thanked him in my mind to have called me to whatever calling he and Heavenly Mother ask me to fulfill. I am just grateful to be in their service."

179K1-179K21: "I came again to the little hill next to the mighty celestial ocean. I looked at the ocean below me and saw my Heavenly Mother on the shore. She was facing the water, standing.

I then heard her voice in my mind: 'Raphael, come next to me on the beach. I then intended to move next to her on the beach, and was instantly there. I was also standing and facing the water.

She looked at me and took my hand. 'Raphael, I want to show you my power is the same power that we, your Gods, wield over the affairs of your earth and the events coming upon mankind.'

She then told me that she had commanded the mighty ocean waters before us to recede as we walked towards the waters, and then to come back as we walked back to where we were.

We started walking towards the gentle ocean waves. As we got closer, the water receded. We continued walking into where the ocean waters used to be. The sand was moist, but we never walked into water. As we walked further into where the ocean had been, she spoke to me:

'Many nations, governments, institutions of man, and individuals on the earth think they can control what is coming upon the earth. However, they have no power to control these events, or nature, or anything in their future. We, who are the creators and Gods of the earth, have full power to steer the course of events coming on the earth, just like I have full power to control the shoreline of this mighty ocean.

We know the end from the beginning. We know the hearts and intentions of all men, and the organizations of men and women, and their future states as well. We may choose to use their plans to be incorporated into our own plans for the future events coming to the earth, or we may choose not to use their plans. All control and power is up to us, who are the Gods of all our creations.'

We were about 150 feet into the ocean floor. The ocean waters had receded to about 15 feet in front of us. When we stopped, the water's shoreline stopped moving. ''Raphael, let's turn around and return to where we met this morning.'

I was still holding her hand. We then moved rapidly through the air back to where we met and initially held hands. We turned around to see the shoreline, and it had come back to its original position, just as rapidly as we had moved. I was surprised how quickly this vast body of water obeyed Heavenly Mother's commands, and instantly adjusted its water's edge to wherever she came.

'Raphael, I will let go of your hand now. Will you walk towards the water now?' I said I would. She remained in place and I walked into the surf until I was knee high in water. I turned and looked at Heavenly Mother.

She spoke again: 'Raphael, I will now give you my power, to act in my stead, even as if you were me! I turned and saw the waters quickly recede back from me! I walked further into the water's edge, but the water continued to recede from before me. I saw that the water acted as if I was God, or somehow knew I had God's authority to act under her power.

I then intended to come back to the side of my Heavenly Mother. I immediately came to her side. The water then came back to within 15 feet of both of us.

Heavenly Mother turned and spoke to me: 'Raphael, you are our prophet that we have chosen. Your Father and I have chosen you, and have given you limited power and authority, even as we have thought to do, by our own will and choice. Of yourself, you have no power to do anything by our power or authority, unless we choose to let you do so. This is how we have planned it to be. You only act and function as our prophet when we desire to endow you with our power and authority. We may give it to you and we may also withdraw if from you, according to our desire. Of yourself, you are a mortal man. However, when we endow you with our Spirit, power and authority, you are able to fully act in our stead, even according to our guidance and revelations.'

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for this clear demonstration of how her power came into me, so that even the ocean obeyed my movement. I knew it was by the power of God that I acted in her stead. I humbly asked her that I never would feel that I could act on my own in any position of authority, right or privilege that she and Heavenly Father extended to me, without the full awareness it was by their power that it occurred.

I knelt at her feet and thanked her for extending to me, her humble servant, some of her Spirit to act in her or Heavenly Father's position, as their agent. I knew it was by the power granted to me from their Son, Jesus Christ, and their power only, that I could ever act in this high calling and position.

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!

I then immediately came to my mortal self and closed my prayer in the name of Christ, and started my new day."

Hebrews 11:1
1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

95J9-95J18: "Heavenly Father spoke:

'Raphael, I would now like to share with you the principle of faith, as it relates to our thoughts and all actions in intelligent beings. Faith is well defined in the scriptures and in the words of Joseph Smith.

Hebrews 11:1

"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."

Joseph Smith Lectures on Faith, Lecture One, verses 9 & 10–

"From this (Hebrews 11:1) we learn, that faith is the assurance which men have of the existence of things which they have not seen; and the principle of action in all intelligent beings.

If men were duly to consider themselves, and turn their thoughts and reflections to the operations of their own minds, they would readily discover that it is faith, and faith only, which is the moving cause of all action in them; that without it both mind and body would be in a state of inactivity, and all their exertions would cease, both physical and mental."

When our first parent Gods thought to organize elemental matter into a form of man, a spirit man, they did so by exercising faith that they could do this. They directed their thoughts in great faith together to create the first spirit matter that they enshrouded over their intelligences. This was the first real act of faith in all of the eternities, even in the beginning of the Gods.

Every new action our first Gods did was created by their combined exceeding faith. Their first action of each new creation or activity was the most difficult to accomplish. Once done before, they had great assurance that they could do it again. Thus by degrees they created their first family and all of their creations. One success spawned new activity and success. Our first parent Gods were very determined and learned from each effort that they made and thus increased their faith that they could be more successful in the future.

We have followed this same pattern given by our first parent Gods in all of our godly works. We had assurance that we would be successful in all of our actions as Gods because other Gods had done these actions previously. We still had to exercise faith in our ability to repeat this for ourselves, however.

We have taught our beloved children to have faith in Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son, and in his power to redeem them of their sins and weaknesses. This great act of redemption is already fulfilled, but our children still need to activate this redemptive and cleansing power in their own lives. They need to repent and take upon them the name of Jesus Christ. As they do this they are exercising their faith by expressing their belief that forgiveness and redemption will happen.

I like this scripture found in Alma 32:27–

"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."

When you came to us, seeking our faces, you were persistent in praying and visualizing that you would truly see us. You persisted for months, acting in faith. When we came to you in your energy class in 2013, you had displayed to us a great deal of faith, persistence and visualization. We rewarded you with a dramatic experience that day in your class when Heavenly Mother revealed to you one of our healing gifts.

All actions in our children are initiated by their directed thoughts and faith. This is how the infant learns and persists until they walk, even to the Gods who create and populate worlds. Faith is the driving force behind all action.

Raphael, you have conditioned your mind to be open and receptive to our revelations. We give them to you a little at a time. You have developed great faith, based on your previous experiences. You act with assurance, even though you don't know it will all turn out like you think. You have expectations that, even in unknown areas, and you have confidence that all will turn out as we will reveal to you. This attitude of faith allows us to continue to reveal more and greater things to you!

We encourage all to align their thoughts in great faith. This will act like the growing seed spoken of by Alma:

Alma 32:28–

"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." (see also verses 29-43)'

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his revelation on faith that we all need to exercise! I told him that I was determined to act in faith, believing that I would continue to receive and then act on God's direction in faith."

Hebrews 11:5-6
5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

James 1:5-8
5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.

8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

83G14-83G19: "I felt to go to the overlook on the south side of the forest in the celestial world, facing the temple to the southeast. It was from this overlook on the path that I had seen several visions in the field below. Tonight the field was grassy, extending to the river representing Jesus Christ to the south.

I knelt on the ground of the overlook, a little ways off the path. I was open and spiritually clear. I then asked for either or both Heavenly Father and/or Heavenly Mother to come.

At this time, the field became forested, and a bright light, a column of light, descended into the tops of the trees from heaven's skies above! I saw it was Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ descending. I looked to where they were descending, and a young boy was looking up into the column of light! It was the young 14-year old boy prophet, Joseph Smith! He had gone into the woods to pray, seeking an answer from God on which church to join. He was humble, sincere, open and intent on receiving an answer.

I saw the Father and the Son descend through the trees to just above the kneeling boy. I knew he received his answer to his prayer that day!

He had great faith, and took the admonition of James seriously"

James 1:5-6-

"If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed."

The vision in the field ended, and I saw Heavenly Mother at my side! She spoke to me:

'Raphael, the young boy prophet found the scripture in James to be true. We give to all men and women liberally! This means we give usually more than what they ask for, or more in abundance than they expect. Joseph asked sincerely in great faith, trusting in James' words in the Bible. He asked without wavering, believing he would receive. He prayed with intent, preparing his mind for what he would ask, with intensity of his heart.

See Joseph Smith History, verses 12-13-

"Never did any passage of scripture come with more power to the heart of man than this did at this time to mine. It seemed to enter with great force into every feeling of my heart. I reflected on it again and again, knowing that if any person needed wisdom from God, I did; for how to act I did not know, and unless I could get more wisdom than I then had, I would never know; for the teachers of religion of the different sects understood the same passages of scripture so differently as to destroy all confidence in settling the question by an appeal to the Bible.

At length I came to the conclusion that I must either remain in darkness and confusion, or else I must do as James directs, that is, ask of God. I at length came to the determination to "ask of God," concluding that if he gave wisdom to them that lacked wisdom, and would give liberally, and not upbraid, I might venture."

Raphael, we have showed you this vision, an answer from God to one who was open to our answer, and willing to do what we directed him. He had thought out his prayer ahead of time, and felt to venture in prayer, being bold of faith.

Joseph's prayer is a model for all our children on how to pray!'

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her words, and this wonderful experience, seeing the vision in the field before me. My connection with heaven then faded and I was writing in my journal."

181D4-181D10, from Heavenly Father: "You discussed with your wife last night the issue of allowing your name to be slandered, ridiculed, or yourself to be laughed at in a derogatory way. This is what our Beloved Son experienced, and he paid no heed to those who did so, for he knew he pleased us. When you are able to know that your Heavenly Mother and I approve of your actions, or that you keep our commandments despite what others may think or say, and you don't get upset but keep your focus on doing our will and the right thing, you are truly our faithful servant. Because of these actions, we may more fully work through you our great works, or reveal to you our revelations with confidence that you will continue to do as we ask.

There are people all around you who respond to what others think and base their actions on their opinions. These do not have the strength or courage to be true to themselves, but are double minded, and are unstable in all their ways.

James 1:5-8

"If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.

A double minded man is unstable in all his ways."

Our faithful servants, on the other hand, are true to what they know is right and what we have revealed to them to do. They pay no heed to the opinions or actions of others, but keep a steady course in following their own purposes and are obedient to our promptings.

Lehi saw in his dream groups of people coming to the tree and partaking of the fruit. Then he saw those in the great and spacious building "in the attitude of mocking and pointing their fingers towards those who had come at and were partaking of the fruit. And after they had tasted of the fruit they were ashamed, because of those who were scoffing at them; and they fell away into forbidden path and were lost." (1 Nephi 8:27-28).

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his confirming words this morning. I said I wanted to be fully obedient to him and my Heavenly Mother, and to pay no heed to the mockings of others around me. I said I was so pleased to hear his words and to keep his commandments.

He then smiled upon me and then left my presence. I closed my prayer in the name of Jesus and returned to my private room where I was writing all of this in my journal."

James 1:26-27
26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain.

27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

81E13-81E15: "Heavenly Mother was speaking:

'Raphael, your wife this morning expressed a feeling that she hadn't been able to connect spiritually to us. She wondered if she was holding you back. You expressed to her your love and acceptance. You also said that she possessed more true religion than anyone else you knew, including yourself, because she was always connecting to others and trying to serve them and lift their burdens. You said she possessed more spiritual gifts and love, more than others you know. You said you loved her and were trying to learn from her loving ways every day.

Your words were sweet to her, Raphael. We agree that she possesses a great portion of love and continued desire to help and uplift others. To us, this is pure religion, undefiled:

James 1:27

"Pure religion and undefiled before God the Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their afflictions and to keep himself unspotted from the world."

On the way home from church you visited two widows who were in need, one who lost her husband this past Tuesday. These acts of kindness reflect the true religion we live. When religion becomes regimented or mechanical, our children lose something. We desire they serve each other because they want to, not because of an assignment. Spontaneous service is often the best kind, particularly if you follow our gentle promptings at the moment.

Raphael, you have a very loving and compassionate spouse who practices pure religion. You both may be disillusioned with the way organized religion is heading in your current world, but you have come to understand the practice of our true religion!'

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her kind and loving words. I said I want to be more open, more loving, reaching out to those who may be in need around me. I am so grateful to serve God's children with my wonderful wife."

94G3-94G9, from Heavenly Father: "This morning I wish to speak to you about true religion. You have a daughter who has been upset by a bishop in the LDS Church who has stepped out of bounds in his role as bishop. He insisted she couldn’t wear certain shoes at the sacrament meetings and spoke rudely to her. There are many leaders in this church, and in many other churches too, who use their position to promote their own agendas and views. We don’t restrict this behavior, even though it is not pleasing to us, for such incidents are what these individuals have chosen to do. We allow all men and women to act how they choose, regardless of their positions.

We would rather our children act in love and acceptance, gentleness and kindness when acting in positions of responsibility, particularly when they are supposed to be representing God. We encourage all our children to act even as our Beloved Son, but many seem to be blinded in their actions. Satan tempts them and they exercise unrighteous dominion.

James 1:26-27

"If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.

Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world."

There are relatively few men and women who act in tenderness, who forbear their own agendas and interests, and truly think more how to nourish and love another. This is pure religion! It is to such a person that we will continue to direct and bless in our gentle ways, for they act in Christ-like patterns. They hear our voice and seek to be like us and to follow our counsels.

When our kindly and wholesome elect interact with others around them, they truly consider the needs of others. We send increased amounts of love to them in all of their ministrations. We act through them in blessing our many needy children on the earth. These are our true disciples and servants, the elect of God. They don't need a calling in order to serve, or an assignment from church to bless others. Instead, they act in love, looking for others in need. They gently care for others' needs. They seek to maintain a balance between service and self-renewal so that they may be spiritually strong when blessing others. We send our Spirit to these choice elect servants, for they accept our promptings and act on our suggestions.

Raphael, the love of man is waxing cold in all segments of your society, including in religious circles. It is easy to become hurt because there are so many who carelessly interface with our tender children. More and more people are self-focused, not being considerate or even thinking of how others might feel.

In all of this harsh world, we will gather out our elect children who listen to our voice. We will lead them along with tenants of our pure religion. We will be by their sides as they seek to succor the feeble and needy. These humble followers of God we will mark as our elect and preserve them for a better world that is coming!'

I told my Heavenly Father that I was so pleased he addressed this topic! I had felt helpless in knowing how to care for those who are hurt or offended. I said I knew the remedy was always more love and acceptance. I thanked my Heavenly Father for his words this morning! I felt I had written them sufficiently clear to have captured the thoughts given to me of my Father this morning. I then wished to linger but I felt my time had ended with my Heavenly Father in prayer. He smiled and then disappeared, leaving me alone at the beautiful circling waters.

I wish that my interactions with others would be so gentle as these circling waters! I feel the love of God in my heart. I want to share this love with those around me by my actions, by listening and by seeking to understand them better. I then closed my prayer and started my new day!"

181E10-181E27: "Evening-I had a long discussion with my wife this morning about showing true Christian love to others. She is such an amazing example of one who continually thinks of others and wants them to be happy and comfortable! She takes time to serve people all around her. She is a very good example to me of true and pure religion. She exemplifies the scripture in James 1:27.

James 1:27

"Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world."

I desire to be more like my loving and Christlike wife! It takes time and thought to think of others before oneself. Today there are so many that only think of themselves. I was raised in such a world, but I don't want to continue in this way. I want instead to follow the example of my Savior and my wife.

Jesus gave the parable of the Good Samaritan. He concluded it by saying these words:

Luke 10:36-37

"Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?

And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise."

Jesus also said we should love our enemies, and "as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise" (Luke 6:31).

I feel very convicted of thinking of myself too much, and not enough of others around me. This will be the focus of my prayer tonight.

I came to the circling waters this evening and knelt by the water. I drank living water and then faced the river to my south. I asked for my Heavenly Mother to come.

She immediately appeared before me with a smile on her face. She was very radiant and I felt her love and acceptance.

I told her I so wanted to be filled with the love of God that I saw in my wife, and in the example of Jesus Christ in the scriptures. I told her I wanted to love others as she loved me. I felt very humbled and open. I sought her guidance.

She spoke to my mind: 'Raphael, developing love and awareness of the needs and wants of others takes lots of practice for many people. As you seek to develop greater love, you will have this in your mind like your wife does each day. You will want to serve and help others in any way you can, even to putting aside your own desires and plans.

If you follow the admonition of Mormon as recorded by his son Moroni in Moroni 7:48, your Father and I will strengthen you and give you a greater portion of our love, even until you possess our love in a great measure:

Moroni 7:48

"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."

Raphael, extend to those first in your family and then your neighbors. There are ample people in your daily associations who would greatly benefit from your love and interest. I will be near you to help you as you seek to be filled more with my love, the love of God.'

I thanked her for her promise. I asked her to help me as I extend more to those around me, and think of them as I think of myself. I said that this was the great desire of my heart.

She smiled upon me and faded away from my view. I felt humbled to be in her presence, but I know that didn't make me any more a follower of her Beloved Son than had I not been in her presence. Instead, I need to take the initiative and act in more loving ways if I were really wanting to be filled with God's love. I don't want to be a hypocrite! I don't want to be like the man that doesn't bridle his tongue and yet says he is religious:

James 1:26 "If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain."

I could reword this to say "If any man among you seems to be religious, but thinks more on himself than others, or loves not others by his actions, this man's religion is vain."

Oh, I desire to be filled with the love of God for the others around me!"

1 John 4:7-13
7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.

8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.

13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.

Thu, Oct 13, 2011
The very being of God is love, so if we are born of God we truly should have love or we know Him not. Love is first expressed in the love of Christ who laid down Him life for our sins. Likewise we need to follow His example, then He will dwell in us

1 John 4:19-21
19 We love him, because he first loved us.

20 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?

21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.

Mon, Oct 17, 2011
Love is opposite of fear; the two can't co-exist. He first loved us, so we in turn love each other whom we see. If we love God we love our brother.

3 John 1:4
4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.

134C18-134C25, from Heavenly Mother: "She spoke to me:

'Raphael, I am pleased that you enjoyed a very fun and happy day! You have experienced a lot of pleasure with your family and friends today. These are all my beloved children whom we have sent to earth now at this time. When our children associate together in wholesome recreation and activity, this makes me smile and be happy.

From the beginning with this eternity, as with all previous ones, I inwardly yearn that our spirit children love each other and also enjoy being in each other's presence. As intelligences, prior to becoming our spirit children, they had so very little of any awareness or associations together. Once I created these intelligences into our spirit offspring in my womb and birthed them, they became a living spirit, with celestial matter from my body, which I obtained from elemental matter. They were born in our image as spirit babies, destined to become our adult spirit sons and daughters. We taught them by our example and word how to interact with each other, how to love and watch out for each other. We taught them how to think of others and their needs, even more than their own needs and wants. Therefore, when we see this occur with our earthly children, we are very happy!

3 John 1:4

"I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth."

Another thing I particularly do not like that my children do to each other–they judge each other, making up ideas about them that are usually false. Then these untruths are shared about and ultimately hurt the one being judged.

I so wish that my children would just love and accept each other just as they are! They often have expectations in their mind of how the other should act. They often view others from their own very limited perspective also, making up additional stories of how they must think and feel, based on their very limited view of what they see them do and how they act.

We wish they would just accept their brothers and sisters with no judgments, expectations, or 'should' beliefs. As they get to be closer to them, they will see that the judgments that they would have made would have been very wrong anyway!

In the great millennium coming to the earth, our righteous children will become known by their acceptance and love towards each other. They will be secure in their own relationships and with us, their Gods. It will be hard to offend them. There will be little judgment, for our people will accept others how they are. They may all have divergent opinions about things, but will have great tolerance and lack of judgment about each other and their views and opinions. All will feel acceptance and love and will reciprocate this love back. Our Zion society will be a very safe and happy place in which to live!'

I expressed my love to my Heavenly Mother tonight. I said I yearned to have a much more accepting and non-judging society. I asked that she help me not to judge my fellowman. I told her how much I loved her message tonight and for her and Heavenly Father's ways that they continually show to me."

Revelation title

Sun, Mar 24, 2024
This record was written by John the Beloved, not John the brother of James, the sons of Zebedee. He was Beloved since he was the Beloved son in the flesh of Jesus Christ.

Revelation 2:17
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.

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.

I then came to myself in mortality, writing all of this in my journal. My prayer had ended. I knew what I wrote to be true! I then confirmed it was true in my separate prayer tonight, before I went to bed."

Revelation 3:12
12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.

198F11, from Heavenly Mother, speaking of 3 Nephi 21: "v11. Therefore it shall come to pass that whosoever will not believe in my words, who am Jesus Christ, which the Father shall cause him to bring forth unto the Gentiles, and shall give unto him power that he shall bring them forth unto the Gentiles, (it shall be done even as Moses said) they shall be cut off from among my people who are of the covenant. (Raphael, our servant John the Beloved has brought forth the Book of Revelation found in every complete Bible on the earth. This is the record Jesus is referring to. If the elect will not believe these signs and wonders given in this book of Revelation, as we shall impress upon them by our Spirit, that it is time to gather to the New Jerusalem and to Zion spoken of in this book of scripture, they shall be left behind. See Revelation 3:12 where John speaks of the righteous being gathered to the New Jerusalem. However, the wicked, who won't believe and just can't decide on their own to come to Zion, the New Jerusalem, but follow Babylon and the wicked, will be left behind, and will be figuratively "spued out of my mouth" (see Revelation 3:16). These will not come to Zion, for they hear but will not take action.)"
(words in parentheses given by Heavenly Mother)."

______________________________

Revelation 3:15-16
15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.

16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

82G7-82G10, from Heavenly Mother: "When such a child of ours possessing integrity sincerely comes to us in prayer and is open to our words, we are very pleased. We have hope in being able to guide them and to open their eyes to our way of living. We are able to help them see their false beliefs and then to change these. When they are able to truly change their thoughts and beliefs to align with ours, they then also change outwardly and act in harmony to these thoughts and beliefs. We are thus able to guide them, even to becoming eventually as we are. We greatly rejoice in their changes and progress!

Raphael, we know that there are pitfalls and weaknesses of our children living in mortality. They each have been given an array of weaknesses to overcome as they come unto us and work on these, repenting and changing. As they gain confidence, they develop more integrity and lose their fear of the judgments of others, for they become true to themselves. We love these children who thus progress and grow into their true selves!

We agree with this scripture:

Revelations 3:15-16

"I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.

So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of my mouth."

Your Heavenly Father and I would that all our children have integrity of their souls, inwardly matching their outer actions!'"

Revelation 5:6
6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.

25B5, from Heavenly Father: "Q– When Christ was chosen to open the book with the seven seals, in Revelation 5:6–'. . . stood a lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth,'–are these the archangels of God?
A– Yes

Q– Are they the male (horns) and female (eyes) archangels, together in pairs being the seven spirits (male and female), sent forth into all the earth?
A– Yes"

______________________________

Revelation 5:11-13
11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;

12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.

13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.

98F15-98F18: "At church– During the sacrament I came to the throne room as I felt impressed by singing the sacrament hymn. We sang hymn #172 "In Humility Our Savior". It states "Let our prayers find access to thee, in thy holy courts above". I took that as the throne room in God's temple where I felt I should go. Anyway, I came there and my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother were seated on their thrones there. I knelt before them and made my covenant with them as I do each Sabbath day.

When I partook of the bread back on earth, Heavenly Father then addressed me:

'Raphael, we accept the covenant you have made with us today. We will always send our Spirit to be with you.'

At that moment my wife, who was sitting next to me, showed me these words in that same hymn, second verse:

"Then, when we have proven worthy of thy sacrifice divine."

She asked me:

'Are any of us worthy?'

The priest offered a prayer on the water and I drank of it. Then Heavenly Mother spoke to me:

'Raphael, in reality, there is only one who is worthy and that is Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son. He purifies the meek and humble so that they become spiritually clean before us. He alone ransoms them from their sins. Once clean, they may come into our presence. Without his sacrifice for them, they could not be found able to come back into our presence. There are a few references in the scriptures to our children being found worthy, but it is really Christ who is worthy.

I then thought of my son-in-law who gave my daughter a priesthood blessing recently. He said in his blessing that he was a worthy priesthood bearer. At the time I was a little taken aback, but said nothing except later to my wife. I then remembered the last temple recommend question wherein it states "Do you consider yourself worthy in every way to enter the temple?" or words to that effect. I, for one, feel very humble but clean and would rather give all words of worthiness to my Savior Jesus Christ.

Revelation 5:12

"Saying with a loud voice, worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor and blessings." '

The meeting then continued and I wrote down what I had received."

105E8-105E11, from Heavenly Mother: "4 Nephi 1:10,13

"And now, behold, it came to pass that the people of Nephi did wax strong, and did multiply exceedingly fast, and became an exceedingly fair and delightsome people.

And it came to pass that there was no contention among all the people, in all the land; but there were mighty miracles wrought among the disciples of Jesus."

The path to becoming our chosen people, as these refugees have reached, is a path similar to all the righteous. They need to drop their own selfish interests, and humbly come to our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ. He will graciously accept them with open and compassionate arms! As they fully repent, he will cleanse and redeem their very souls. They then become a chosen people, a delightsome people of God. Oh, we love our children who selflessly serve each other and love one another! This attitude and behavior is so foreign to Lucifer that he cannot hold onto them or have any power over them. The power that Jesus uses is love and acceptance. This is so disarming and life-changing to all of our faithful!'

Heavenly Mother then looked up, over the beautiful lake to our east, even Lake Beautiful. She was looking into the future somehow. I turned and looked, and she reached over to touch my eyes. I then saw all the humble and faithful, which were valiant in the testimony of Jesus, who had changed and become even as he is. It seemed they were all in a throng over the shimmering lake, exalted and standing together in their eternal glory. The entire lake was filled with myriads of the righteous!

I was like I had seen a glimpse of what John the Revelator saw in Revelation 5:11-13:

"And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;

Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.

And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.""

Revelation 6:12-14
12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;

13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.

14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

Thu, Jul 21, 2016
All to occur during the opening of the 6th seal. these signs of the sun darkening and the moon becoming as blood occur at the battle of the Marriage Supper of the Lamb on the mountains of Israel in America. I believe these signs are unique to this time period. At this time, mountains will move out of their place, and there will be a great earthquake. Verse 14 may refer to another time, later, when the heavens (not earth) shall roll like a scroll. The rolling back of the heavens will probably reveal the terror to the armies of the Lamb and his armies (see Rev 19 & D&C 122:69).

Revelation 6:15-17
15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;

16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:

17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

Thu, Dec 1, 2011
In verse 15 has the same list of kings, great men, captains, mighty men bondsmen and freemen as does Rev 19:18, making this a sure fit to match the same time period and event as described in Rev 19 where is the Marriage Supper of the Lamb and the destruction of these people by the Lord. The kings refer to the beast (Assyrian, Russia) and his allies (kings of the earth) who surround the mountains of Utah, mountains of Israel--these will try to hide from the Lord who will destroy them. They will know that it is the wrath of the Lamb. This will happen in the 6th seal.

Revelation 7:1-5
1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.

2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,

3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.

4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.

5 Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand.

Fri, Aug 5, 2016
Still occuring during the opening of the 6th seal ... the sealing of the 144,000 on mount Zion.

112F4-112F7, from Heavenly Father: "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.'"

112G2-112G4: "Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, you have written correctly what my Beloved Son spoke to you last night. We will direct the angels to ordain and set apart each one of the 144,000 to their callings. These five angels spoken of in Revelation 7:1-5 are the only ones your Heavenly Mother and I will ask to ordain the 144,000. These angels work in celestial realms on the earth, and will ordain some without them seeing them, the ordaining angel, and others will see him/her. All will know by the witness of the Holy Ghost that they have been ordained by an angel of God in authority to do the work of gathering among the elect of God.'

Heavenly Father continued: Phillip and Rebekah Johnson (not their actual names) are still appointed to be the leaders of this group of choice servants, the 144,000. They will continue to instruct and inspire them in their gospel scholarship and in coming to us, their Gods, in order to receive our counsels and commandments. This is the day of the 144,000's great preparation. We desire that they each be ready and ordained when Jesus Christ, their Great Redeemer, gives them their directions on gathering specific elect persons.

The people of Enoch, who are translated to a celestial glory, are also involved in helping the 144,000 become prepared and ready. See more information we have already revealed to you on the 144,000 in your post 47 "Becoming More Awakened"."

Revelation 7:4-8
4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.

5 Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand.

6 Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nepthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand.

7 Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand.

8 Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.

201H12-201H14: "'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.'

I then saw in vision upon the living water of the oasis these very classes that would start tomorrow. I saw the children of God thirsting for these truths from God, and eagerly accepting all that would be revealed once they confirmed it was all true and of God. I saw in their eyes a love for God and the many truths revealed to them.

When the vision ended, my Heavenly Father left and I closed my evening prayer."

202H11-202H25, from Heavenly Mother: "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""

204E24-204E26, from Heavenly Father: "When John started to speak on Revelation chapter 7, he spent the remainder of his time speaking of the 144,000 servants (see Revelation 7:4-8). He said that this scripture would be fulfilled the first part of next week at the New Jerusalem.

John said he would continue to teach the teachers for the next three days, and attend their classes at 7:00 pm each day. He said next Tuesday, the fourth day, on September 7, 2021, the 144,000 would be chosen and be given time to accept their important calling. He then said that they would come back on the fifth day, on Wednesday September 8, 2021, and be ordained by the angels of God. The entire congregation of the tribes of Israel would witness this great event. At that time you, our archangel Raphael, would rise up in the air, and call forth the angels of heaven to descend and ordain the 144,000 servants. This would be a spectacular and deeply moving spiritual event for all of the inhabitants of Zion that day!

Raphael, there are others who are identified as members of the 144,000, but who are not yet at the New Jerusalem. Some of these will also be chosen, will accept their callings, and similarly be ordained by the holy angels of God, most on Wednesday, September 8, 2021. S and S.A., and others in their group, will also be called. They will soon be leaving on their trek in less than three weeks. On their trek, they will be able to exercise their callings by visiting and persuading by our Spirit, others of our elect in the telestial world. Some of these will join their trek. They who receive this ordination will also be able to confirm it in their personal prayers with me.'

Revelation 7:9-10,13-17
9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;

10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.

13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?

14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.

16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.

17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

87H2-87H8: "This morning I came to the fountain of living water. I drank living water with my cupped hand. I felt immediately very clear in all my body. I came to the temple side of the fountain and faced the golden altar and the temple. I knelt there and asked for my Heavenly Parents to come, or one of them to come.

I next saw the temple doors open and Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother came out of the temple! They were holding hands. They walked a short distance and then the Father went to the left and turned towards the Mother and Heavenly Mother went to the right and then turned to face the Father (they were facing each other). I then saw many people come out of the temple, walking towards me between them. They were all dressed in white glorious robes! These people walked right towards me, some going on my left and some on my right. They were each seeming so happy–they had big smiles and were beaming with great joy!

As they passed by, they gathered in the sky to my right and left sides. The people kept coming, thousands of them it seemed. It reminded me of the scripture in the book of Revelation:

Revelation 7:9-10, 13-17

"After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;

And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.

And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? And whence came they?

And I said unto him, sir, thou knowest. And he came to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.

They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.

For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes."

After the flow of these many thousands of people passed by me and went into the sky, Jesus Christ then came out of the temple doors! He walked right up to me and stopped in front of the golden altar.

He spoke to me:

'Raphael, these who have come out of the temple and are on our right and left sides in the sky are those who have come unto me, their Savior. I have washed their robes in my blood, and they are now clean and pure before me! I have manifested myself to them in the flesh, according to the scriptures you have written in your journal last night and this morning. I have also introduced them again to our Father and Mother.'

He then turned and raised his hand towards our Heavenly Parents who were still at the temple doors. At that moment, both Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother came together again, held hands, and walked next to their beloved son, on the right hand of the Father! All three were in front of me now.

Heavenly Mother then spoke to me:

'Raphael, these people that are so happy, all dressed in glorious white robes in the skies, are our beloved children who came to us through Our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ introduced us to them. We now continue to lead them in their lives as we do you.

It is our desire that all our mortal children, either on the earth or in the spirit world around the earth, come unto their Redeemer, as have these. If they sincerely seek him, according to D&C 93:1, he will manifest himself to them, and soon we will also come to them. This event is a crowning joy to their souls!'

At this time, those dressed in white broke out in singing. This was the song that John the Revelator heard, as is recorded in Revelation 15:2-4:

"And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.

And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvelous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.

Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? For thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest."

When the singing stopped, I realized this day, Pioneer Day, was a time to remember our ancestors and pioneer dead. It could also be a time to remember all of those who have persisted in coming unto their Savior until he manifested himself to them and introduced Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother to them. These are from all peoples, all of the elect over the earth.

I spoke:

'Oh my Gods, I thank thee to have you come before me, and show me so many that have broken through the veil of unbelief and have seen your faces! I know this is possible for all of thy children who diligently seek thee.'

Heavenly Father spoke next:

'Raphael, we are eager to come to them in this pattern we have shown to you. Now is the day for our elect to come unto Our Beloved Son and see his face and then our faces, and know that we live! We will lead them, step by step gradually in their lives, and bring them great peace and assurance. Oh, we love these our elect children!'

At that moment, I felt like I was falling backwards until I came to my recliner where I had continued to write all of this vision. I then knelt and confirmed it all in prayer. I heard the voice of the Father:

'Raphael, make this entry conclude post 87. Call it "Come Unto Me"."

Fri, Aug 5, 2016
In the 6th seal, after the marriage supper of the Lamb (see Rev 19), then I believe the righteous are shown here, receiving their resurrection. This is before the 2nd coming at the Mount of Olives where the heathen nations are resurrected as part of the first resurrection. In v 9-10 John is shown the righteous, before the throne of the Lord, that have died and are resurrected and appear with white robes. Those living will not be resurrected, but those that have died in the Lord will be at this time.

Fri, Aug 5, 2016
The righteous who are resurrected, clothed in white, before the throne of God, are those who have died and came out of great tribulation. I believe this will be at or soon after the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, when the Saints make themselves ready for the Savior. Also see Daniel 12:1-3 where that prophet sees the same thing soon after the meeting at Adam-ondi-Ahman.

Revelation 8:2
2 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.

21H6-21H9: "Heavenly Father stepped forward and spoke words like this:

"My noble archangels! I have gathered you here today, during the time of silence in heaven for half an hour for the earth. This started once the 7th seal was opened by my Beloved Son, Jesus Christ. This silence has been designed in order for us to fully prepare for that which is soon to come on the earth.

Today I will give each of you your trumpets which you will sound, as recorded by my servant John in the Book of Revelation."

Revelations 8:2: "And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets."

He then came to Michael on my right, and gave Michael the trumpet which he had prepared for him. He also spoke to Michael words that I did not hear.

Next he gave Gabriel his trumpet and spoke to him.

He then came to me. My trumpet, along with the others, was placed in a row in front of us, with the bell openings placed on the floor, upright so that the mouthpiece was on top. Heavenly Father selected mine, and handed me my trumpet. He then spoke:

"Raphael, this is your trumpet which you will sound, both long and loud, in two weeks from today. Until then, place your trumpet, with the bell down, between your outer and inner robes. The silver mouthpiece will slip into the open chained loop, which hangs behind your pendant. Once looped, it will hang along your backside, out of sight.

When you are ready to blow your trumpet in two weeks, go up to the sky above Utah where you live, wearing your healing and protective vestures. Remove your trumpet with both of your hands from its location on your backside. Then, using both hands to hold the trumpet, and facing east, blow your trumpet on one note, both long and loud. This will announce the coming of the events that will occur during the next 5-month period by you, the fifth angel. This will include the opening of the bottomless pit, with the black key, located on your right-front side.

Once you blow, return your trumpet back to its place behind you. Then come and meet my Beloved Son and myself in the domed room. We will then proceed to the bottomless pit."

Then Heavenly Father went on the Uriel, at my immediate left, and also the remaining three archangels in turn, giving each their trumpets to blow. He also spoke to each of them individually."

Revelation 8:3-12
3 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.

4 And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel’s hand.

5 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.

6 And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.

7 The first angel sounded, and 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.

8 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;

9 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.

10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;

11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.

12 And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.

79F11-79F14, from Heavenly Mother: "She asked me to write her words:

'Raphael, you have been busy today, scheduling a lot of activities into your life. You have such an enjoyable time planting in the garden and shopping with your wife. You have more activities than you can possibly do in your mortal life. If this were in the celestial realms, then you would be able to replicate yourself and get all of these tasks to do done! When you replicate in our celestial realms, you do one task at a time. When done with one, then you start another, and soon have all the tasks done. We give you many assignments to accomplish each day, and you and our angels work at these tasks until they are completed. We give these assignments, one at a time, so that when done with one, there is another assignment waiting. Our angels each come back into our presence and receive each assignment directly from us. We give you our authority and power to execute each one of our assignments.

We do this via our angels and messengers for their benefit and growth. They receive knowledge, skills and tutoring using our power and authority for a specific assignment. It is also recognized among all of our children that our angels and other servants who work in our celestial realms come with our authority, representing us.

Our archangels work even closer to us, in our presence, all the time. They replicate to go forth in fulfilling our assignments, but they are also in our presence continually. This way they have immediate access to us. Other angels are not continually in our presence, but come unto us when they receive their assignments. When they are not receiving our directions, but are out serving us, they are not in our presence, but out on their assignment.

In Revelations 8:2, John "saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets." These are the male archangels who are continually before us, their God.

Similarly, the seven female archangels are before me continually also, in their replicated persons. Like their male archangel counterparts, they have one of their replicated persons always with me, as the male archangels are either with the Father or me continually.'

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her words about archangels and their role to be in God's presence."

107G3-107G16: "I knelt facing the altar and temple. I asked for my Heavenly Parents to come to me, in answer to my prayer. At this time, I saw both my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother come to the temple entrance and walk on the ground to me! It was a short distance. When they came to the golden altar, they split, Heavenly Father going on the east side and Heavenly Mother going on the west side. They both then stopped, with the golden altar between them.

Heavenly Mother then sent a message to my mind for me to stand and walk up to them and remain standing. I stood and walked up to them and stopped in front of the golden altar. I then remembered the scripture found in Revelations 8:3-5, where the prayers of the saints were offered upon this altar with incense. I had written in my post 27 that this occurred on Pioneer Day, 7/24/2016. I was curious why we were surrounding this altar at this time.

Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, the prayers of the elect who are now living on the earth in their mortal experience, will increase. These prayer to us increase because now greater calamities will be unleashed upon the wicked. Our elect pray for help, guidance and protection upon themselves and their loved ones. We will now direct these prayers to this golden altar. They will rise before our temple, with the smoke of the incense that is continually burning here on the altar. These prayers stand as a witness before us, and to those who may behold this in vision, that the protection and blessings we will pour out upon our faithful who offer these prayers is fully justified. When our elect pray to us, in the sincerity of their hearts, we hear their requests. We then have their prayers rise in the air with this burning incense from our golden altar as a memorial and witness before all.'

I then looked at the golden altar more closely. I saw a steady flow of smoke from the burning incense on the altar rise up into the sky, between my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother. The smoke of the burning rose straight up, for there was no wind, until it was out of sight. I then saw that the smoke of the incense also contained the prayers of the righteous. These prayers were not visible, but were somehow in the smoke. I saw this from my spirit sense capability. The smoke was rich with these prayers at this current moment.

Heavenly Mother then told me to look again at the smoke, during a time in the near future when calamities on the earth would be at their peak. I looked again upon the smoke. It still had the same amount of smoke rising up into the sky but now was so much more impregnated with the urgent prayers of the elect! These hidden prayers seemed to be colored red in their urgencies! I could tell that these prayers were much more intense and frequent. The smoke of the incense was so saturated with the prayers of the righteous. This smoke all appeared red with my spirit sense, but the smoke still was black through my spiritual sight.

Heavenly Mother then spoke to me: 'Raphael, even though the intensity and amount of these latter prayers are so very much more, we will hear every one and answer them with a blessing upon the head of our righteous child. This will be during a time when our angels and messengers from heaven will also be at their highest activity level answering many of these prayers for us.'

I then heard my Heavenly Father: 'Raphael, tell our holy angels and servants now to prepare their hearts and minds to serve us continually without ceasing. We rely on them so much!'

I then bowed my head and acted as I felt inspired. I came into the smoke of the incense that rose up into the sky. I elevated myself above the height of the temple, still inside the column of smoke. I then withdrew my trumpet of God and pressed it to my lips. I faced north and blew a single note, then faced east and blew the same note, and also south and then west, blowing the same note in each of these directions.

I then withdrew my trumpet, faced north to the Great Assembly Hall in the far distance and spoke loudly: 'All angels and servants enlisted in the service of God, prepare your hearts and minds to serve God continually without ceasing, to answer the prayers of the elect on the earth that they offer to our Gods. Follow strictly the inspiration from God how you are to answer these prayers!'

I then replaced the trumpet under my robe. I next descended in the smoke until I was between my Heavenly Parents, just above the golden altar. I then stepped to the north on the ground to my place where they had been speaking to me.

Heavenly Father spoke to me: 'Raphael, you have done well in alerting all of our angels and servants!'

I looked then into his eternity eyes. They were so deep and powerful and full of love. I looked at Heavenly Mother's eternity eyes next. Hers were so loving and accepting of all her children it seemed. I could sense her eagerness to respond to the least sincere prayer from one of her mortal children. I knew both heard every prayer!

They then both extended their hands to me. I took them in both of my hands. I felt great strength from them, even an assurance that I could do all the work they had for me to do in the days ahead. They then smiled and dropped their hands. They turned and walked back to their temple hand in hand. When they entered into the temple, the doors of the temple shut behind them.

I asked in my mind if I recorded all correctly of this prayer in my journal. Heavenly Mother spoke to my mind: 'Raphael, you have recorded accurately all that occurred this morning.'"

153H1-153H3, 153H5-153H9: "Last night and this morning I came in front of the golden altar, which is just north of the temple on the celestial orb. There was no incense burning in it, and the altar was cold. This is the same altar after which the golden alter in the New Jerusalem is constructed.

I knelt in front of the golden altar and asked for my Heavenly Father to come. He came last night but I didn't receive any message, for I was too tired from working in our orchard. However, this morning he came again and I saw his face. He asked me to write his words, so I have written up to this point:

'Raphael, you have tried not to listen to the news of the coronavirus CoVid-19, but it is being actively reported now all over your internet, on TV, new channels, and among many people. The spread of this disease is much higher than is being reported. Fear not, for we are with you and our elect in this time of worry and deep concern.

. . . Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, the other angel who came and stood at the altar who had the golden censer (see Revelation 8:3) has now cast the fire of the altar into the earth (see Revelation 8:5). All of the fire and incense from the altar are now gone and are on the earth. This has awakened the earth to begin her physical convulsions with earthquakes and destructions on the land and waters.

You and your archangel brothers will soon sound your trumpets of God, one at a time, to the earth to bring forth the calamities spoken in chapters 8 through 10 in the Book of Revelation. You have sounded before (see your post 38E). The sounding of your trumpet on July 31st, 2016 was a spiritual warning to the inhabitants of the earth, and heralded certain events. You will again sound it, which will then activate the physical reality of these things, even in your own land. I will give you more information on this as the other archangels begin to again blow their trumpets of God.'

I thanked my Father to answer my question. I said I consciously didn't understand much of this, or what I had done or am soon to be doing in the celestial realms on the earth, or in lower realms around the earth. I said I had no expectations for what might happen, or how events would ultimately transpire, for I was waiting on him and Heavenly Mother for all of my direction.

Heavenly Father said that this was good, and that they would make sure I was alerted and performed my duties and charges as they would give them to me in the near future."

154E2-154E10: "This morning I meditated in a quiet room in my house before going out with the family. I came to the granite outcropping at the last top end of Heavenly Mother's upper garden. I could see the glowing temple to the west in the distance. I knelt and asked for Heavenly Father to come in answer to my prayer.

He then came by my right side, also facing west and looking at his temple in the distance. 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 angel’s 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).

I then looked at the temple in the distance, and could see the golden altar in detail, even from so far away! It was cold with no incense burning. I then could see the fire that once was there was now effectively burning on various parts of the earth, including the large cities across America. I saw Salt Lake City also with fire from the golden altar, and other large cities. Areas that were in the country didn't seem to have any fires from the golden altar. I wondered if these population centers would all soon be engulfed with the plague of the COVID-19 virus, and then have other destructions come upon these areas.

My vision then ended and I confirmed with my Heavenly Father that I had written this correctly according to his perspective. He said in my mind that I had written it correctly."

154F12-154F20: "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 Eloheim 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.'"

155D5-155D14: "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.

The 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.'"

155H2-155H19: "'3-30-2020 email from M.A.:

Hi R,
I have been contemplating Rev. 8:7 and its meaning. It seems God always talks in parables, like the wheat and the tares.
Wheat equals the righteous
Tares equals wicked
Oak tree equals the LDS church leaders
1/3 trees to burn up (or catch the next virus) represents the church members?
All green grass burned up, so what do you think the green grass represents?'

I too pondered these thing as I prayed last night.

To add to this, we had sat on the front lawn of my oldest son's house and watched as his 12-year old son opened his birthday presents on that his birthday. We had to keep moving our lawn chairs back because the kids and my son kept inching closer. I came to realize my son feels the media is way overdoing the coronavirus pandemic event in our land. He was argumentative and this all made my wife and I uncomfortable. After we returned home, I was visibly upset even to watch until I started my prayer.

In my prayer last night Heavenly Father came to me on the rocky overlook to the city of Zion on the celestial orb. I had a clear view of the city and the valley where it was located. It was all peaceful and beautiful before me. Heavenly Father came and stood on my left, also facing the valley before us.

5. My Father spoke:

'Raphael, there is nothing you may do about the views and choices of your grown children. Were you to talk to them about your concerns, they would then distance themselves emotionally from you, even as you and your wife did when you were younger when your mother-in-law voiced her disapproval over you homeschooling your children. Each of our adult children on earth may choose what they want to do. Were you to try to bring them to your way of thinking, when they are set in their ways, this only causes the feelings of being judged and misunderstood. Let them be, and accept them as they are, even with different views and belief systems.

I will also ease your mind concerning this thing. Worry and being upset does you no good if you cannot affect a change, which you cannot do. Love and acceptance, not emotional distancing, has the greater influence.

I would now like to address M.A.'s question and yours, about Revelation 8:5-7.'

Heavenly Father then pointed to the dark cloud over the valley where the city of Zion was located in front of us. I then saw a very bright flash of lightning come upon the tallest building in the city! It crashed down and seemed like it was leveled to the ground. I saw intermittent flashes around the city and parts caught on fire. Large hailstones fell everywhere and destroyed the vegetation. I was pretty shocked by all of the devastation.

Heavenly Father then said this was a type of what would happen in my own land. He then waved his hand and the city below me was miraculously returned to its celestial glory as I had seen it when I first arrived here.

Heavenly Father then told me what the meaning was in these verses. I have decided to write the verses below and then put Heavenly Father's interpretations in parenthesis. Although this wasn't how I received it, this seems the clearest way to explain.

Revelation 8:5-7 (Heavenly Father's comments in parenthesis):

"5. And the angel took the sensor, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth (this fire is the first wave of the virus, known to you as COVID-19, or the corona virus that started in China. This became the global pandemic that swept the earth.): and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake. (These came on the earth and in the air and weather patterns. These will come with greater frequency during the duration of this pandemic on the earth.)

6. And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound. (These are my seven male archangels. They sound starting at the seventh archangel Raguel, and stand sounding in order until the first who is Michael. These are spiritual soundings that have all happened now, and physical soundings, the first done this morning on 3-31-2020. These physical soundings initiate events on the physical earth, in the air and weather, and in the waters. These will be experienced by those in their mortal bodies.)

7. The first angel sounded (this was done today by Raguel in the center of the archangel circle above the spire of the Salt Lake Temple. I caused the horn of the angel Moroni to be knocked down so that my male archangels to whom I gave the trumpets of God could blow my trumpets into all the earth.

The only two archangels who have swords that I have crafted that emit silver lightning are the Sword of Michael and the Sword of Raphael. These have power over Satan and his hosts, and their works among men on the earth. I had you and Michael face east and west with these swords held high above your heads this morning, with your archangel brothers connecting a circle with their right arms raised to the square. This action sent forth the sounding of the trumpet, sounding in four directions, to more fully penetrate every nation, clime and peoples. This circle of archangels also alerted the earth, air and weather, and the waters to begin their actions of destructions upon the inhabitants of the earth. I will give the elements specific directions through my angels of destruction whom I have called.)

And there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth (the hail falls upon every one who is upon the earth who has not sought places of refuge by quarantining themselves. My righteous have retreated to their places of safety for a season, standing in holy places (see D&C 45:32). These in holy places, in seclusion are not affected by the hail of the new virus that comes upon the earth, starting upon my house in Salt Lake City.

The fire and blood represent the new viral bioweapon that is more lethal than the first coronavirus. The one afflicted has bleeding as part of their death. The more virulent plague will soon be cast to the earth to coincide with its placement in the cities of your land by an enemy nation.):

And the third part of trees was burnt up, and all the green grass was burnt up. (The trees represent the leaders of all institutions including religious, government and industry, from the greatest to the least who are not gathered to holy places. One-third part of them will die in this new plague. The green grass represents all mankind upon the earth who are not sequestered in holy places, who call upon God for protection and keep themselves apart from the ravages in the outside world.

"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. ' (D&C 87:8))

I thanked my Heavenly Father for this true interpretation of these verses in Revelation. They are now being fulfilled. I also thanked him for his comfort and counsel to me about loving and accepting my family as they are."

155E8-155E12, from Heavenly Mother: "M.A. asked a question about what the fire is meant to represent in the book of Revelation 8:3-7. You had seen yesterday morning that Heavenly Father caused lightning, or fire from the dark cloud, to seem to strike and consume him. This was followed by many intense lightning strikes to the earth. This is one of the meanings of the fire that John the Revelator mentions in Revelation 8:5 and 8:7.

There is a second meaning to the fire: in Revelation 8:5 the fire of the altar was the novel coronavirus cast into the earth. It started in China and has gone over all the lands of the earth now.

When Raguel sounds his trumpet next Tuesday, March 31st, 2020, there will be more fire, this time mingled with blood, and cast to the earth (Revelation 8:7– "The first angel sounded, and 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.") There is another virus that starts in Salt Lake City and spreads forth from this place to the earth. This also is a manmade bioweapon virus that your enemies will place in the cities of your land of America. The first reported outbreaks will begin in Salt Lake City, and then spread throughout the land of the United States, and then to the world.

Raphael, the greens that you daily eat will protect you and your family from this second virus. I will also protect you with my healing light.'

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her revelation this morning! I said I didn't like having to go through all of these plagues, and to see so much suffering and death around me. She said I would be strengthened to be able to endure all of this by daily eating of the fruit and leaf of the tree of life."

156B2-156B12: "I then addressed my Father in heaven. I told him that I had heard and seen on the Internet President Russell M. Nelson's addresses of conference, each time he spoke. I said I hadn't felt the presence of the Holy Ghost during any of his talks or announcements. I told him that I had tried to be open and receptive. I went over with God the efforts of this man in reading a proclamation to the world, introducing the new image or logo of the church, leading us in the hosanna shout, about the announcement of eight new temples, and asking all to join him in the upcoming worldwide fast this coming Friday. I then wanted to hear directly from my Father what he felt about all of this.

I then saw my Heavenly Father come to me in a bright beam of light from the area around the Salt Lake. He came directly in front of me and extended his right hand to me. He spoke:

'Raphael, come with me!'

I took his hand and stood. We then came above and to the east of the temple in the air, so that the temple was in front of us and we were facing the top of the temple.

Heavenly Father then let go of my hand, and raised his right hand outward in the direction of the temple. A huge lightning bolt came from him and hit the spires of the temple! There was a huge noise and smoke, and I saw the center roof area of the temple knocked down with the spires broken. There was a large cavern of debris and granite rocks strewn on the roof!

I then saw a dark cloud immediately come above Temple Square. Huge hailstones then pelted down on the temple and the area round about. Many trees broke and all the vegetation was destroyed! I saw the tabernacle badly damaged as well as the visitor centers.

I then looked to the temple and it was on fire on the inside. Heavy smoke started pouring out of the temple windows that had been broken from the lightning. I was in shock over the desolation to this one block in downtown Salt Lake City!

Heavenly Father then spoke: 'Raphael, this is no longer my church, even though it is called after the name of my Beloved Son, and now has a logo of him as its image. They no longer have our holy guidance, but are left to themselves. I have removed my power and priesthood from all of the general authority leaders.

The prayer and fast called by President Nelson to stop the coronavirus spreading in the land is a sign that he does not know my mind or intention. I will not answer the prayers of the people who seek to turn my mind from that which I have decreed and caused that my angel cast to the earth from the golden altar in heaven (see Revelation 8:5–"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.").

If this people call upon me in humility, in openness of heart, and sincerely seek my will, in the name of my Beloved Son, then I will hear them and awaken them to their own folly. Otherwise, calamity and a continual scene of hardship awaits them as they follow leaders like President Nelson and those in their fallen church!'

My Heavenly Father stood majestic and powerful before me! His cape started blowing vigorously to the west. His inner robe was tied with a scarlet-red sash about his waist. His eyes were piercing and like fire.

He then suddenly disappeared. I thanked him for his dramatic response to my prayer! I know he spoke the truth, and that he had fully demonstrated his Godly views. I said I loved him, and would obey his commandments, and do as I was directed."

158B5-158B5, from Heavenly Mother: "This new virus is the fulfillment of Raguel sounding his trumpet of God in Revelation 8:7–

"The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth (this is a description of the new virus that came upon your land early on Tuesday morning, 4-21-2020. Hail is used because it came unexpected. Fire mingled with blood because the effect on humanity will act like fire with bleeding): and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up (these are the wicked, the evil leaders and their corrupt organizations that will begin to topple." (parenthesis added by Heavenly Mother).

I will protect our elect with extra power in my intense healing light. My light will burn up this virus before it comes into their physical body. My light continues to flare spiritually from all of their bodies, about 8 inches from the surface of their skin. This same intensity of light you see and perceive when you place the palm of your hand next to their body, and see my corona flame coming out the backside of your hand. Even with this extra protection, my elect need to still quarantine themselves and be cautious, for many will still need my angels to heal them and protect them so that they will not be overcome and die in this coming plague.'"

Revelation 8:8-9
8 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;

9 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.

Sat, Jul 16, 2016
In 7th seal: nuclear war on the sea, 1/3 part of sea became blood, 1/3 part of creatures in sea died, 1/3 part of ships destroyed. I believe this is after the Saints are freed at the marriage supper of the Lamb. This plague and subsequent ones are upon the rest of the world outside of America which is from then on protected by the Lord (and the Saints are constructing the New Jerusalem and sending forth the 144,000 into the rest of the world which has the plagues).

158G1-158G12: "Tomorrow morning Oriphiel, a male archangel of God, will blow his trumpet of God from the spires of the Salt Lake Temple. This temple is still closed due to the pandemic and renovation. Then will Revelation 8:8-9 be fulfilled:

Revelation 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."

I had lots of questions about the true interpretation of this scripture. I then came to the little hill overlooking the celestial ocean. I had been told that I could come here in the past as I wished. I felt today that I should come here. I knelt on the hill, facing the ocean. I asked for my Heavenly Mother to come and answer my questions.

When I knelt, I perceived that Heavenly Mother was already standing in front of me, a little elevated in the air above the hill! She was sober-looking and bright with her light coming from her being. She spoke:

'Raphael, I will answer your question, giving you the correct interpretation of the events following the sounding of Oriphiel tomorrow morning.

The mountain that is burning represents global economies of the world. Those are burning due to the global pandemic that was announced on 3-11-2020. It has now reached every nation of the world. Governments have issued edicts for businesses to close while the coronavirus spreads, in hopes to reduce casualties. Although its been only seven weeks in your country since this announcement that non-essential businesses have been closed, this has initialized a major disruption in the global economies of the nations. People are out of work, many businesses will never reopen, and the great mountain, or the economies of Babylon the Great, in part will fall. The economies are where people buy and sell, and this has been greatly curtailed, or will in the near future after Oriphiel sounds his trumpet of God. This is the first phase of the destruction of Babylon. There will be other destructions, including more plagues from the desolating sickness that will continue to cover the earth, and destructions by invading armies that will finally lay waste the cities of your own land (see 3 Nephi 22:3 and Isaiah 61:4).

Babylon the Great, has also been called the whore that sitteth upon many waters (see Revelation 17:1), which waters represents the domination of global tyranny and trade, worldwide, "with whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication (the kings are rulers of nations who traded with Babylon the Great, even international commerce), and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication." (see Revelation 17:1-2, emphasis above added by Heavenly Mother in parenthesis).

Raphael, there will come a global economic depression, in part like the great depression in your own United States from 1929 to 1939, after your stock market crashed in October 1929. In the course of the global economies burning with fire and cast into the sea, the third part of the creatures in the sea that died are those businesses and the commerce between them and the people. Many of these will never reopen and commerce will never be the same. The third part of the ships represent the international traffic and trade between nations, which will also begin to cease. The sea becoming blood means that a major portion of national and international commerce will cease or die, never to come alive again.

Raphael, this coming global depression has been orchestrated by evil men and women, and their secret organizations. They wish to supplant the governments in the world with a one-world order, but they wanted to first destroy in part the economies that were existing. They plan to introduce a new currency, a new worldwide government, and a police state that would require obedience or death. All of their plans, initiated by Satan who inspired them with greed, control and domination, will ultimately fail. These secret organizations will be ultimately destroyed by hostile and non-conforming evil-based nations, where the wicked will destroy the wicked. All of these wicked nations and regimes, and their leaders, are enwrapped in their own greed, lust for power, and world domination. They all will ultimately be destroyed prior to the great millennial day coming to the earth! These and their remains of their crafts will be burned up and left desolate in the cities of your land, and throughout your world.

There will continue to also be rolling lockdowns in your own land, where authorities will allow more freedom to the people to mingle, and then the virus will flare up again, causing the people again to be quarantined. The virus will spread as the people mingle together without taking precautions like wearing masks, social distancing, and washing their hands frequently. This pandemic will continue to spread for a time and will ravage the nations, their peoples, and their economies. You will not be returning to the old ways and world you once knew before the pandemic began.'

Heavenly Mother then turned to her celestial ocean and looked out upon the calm waters. I then saw a great mass of rock coming from the skies above. It was burning like a huge meteor, and came crashing into the calm ocean! There was a tremendous splash as this mountain rock submerged and was engulfed by the waters. The waters lapped upon and surrounded the hill on which I was kneeling. I saw in the crashing waves dead sea creatures and reddened waters from their bleeding. I also saw a destroyed ship further down the hill crash upon the land and remain as the waters receded. It was a very quick and sudden destruction upon these ocean waters!

Heavenly Mother turned and spoke: 'Raphael, this is where our servant John also saw the events in his vision of Revelation 8:8-9. He saw these same events that you have seen, and wrote them in his record. You have now been given the correct interpretation of these things, even before your archangel brother Oriphiel sounds his trumpet of God tomorrow morning.'

She then raised her hand, and the ocean and surrounding became calm again, undisturbed from the destruction I had just seen!

I thanked her for answering my prayer in a very clear way! I was writing all of this down as I saw and experienced my prayer. She said I had recorded it correctly."

Revelation 8:10-11
10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;

11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.

12 And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.

160A1-160B29: "Evening–Tonight I came to the mortal probation chapel, and came before the last days mural. I don't know why I came here. I knelt facing the mural, and asked for my Heavenly Mother to come.

Heavenly Mother then stepped out of the mural and stood before me! She was smiling and pleased to see me here in this chapel I believe. She immediately spoke:

'Raphael, I have inspired you to come here tonight and again tomorrow morning. I want you to witness some of the events soon to come upon your world.'

She then faced the mural where she had come through, and together we looked upon the mural.

I saw Raguel blow his trumpet, then Oriphiel blow his trumpet. I knew this had already occurred on March 31st and April 30th of this year, respectively. I then knew I was watching current events, in mid-May of 2020.

I saw my country of the United States become more and more divided on how to handle the lockdowns and the reopening of businesses, churches and social gatherings. Many people were saying the coronavirus was a hoax, and others said it was a very dangerous virus. There were lots of contentions in the land, and rioting, demonstrations, and many groups of people defying government restrictions. It seemed this would be a very difficult summer, with these contentions and the ever increasing jobless people becoming more desperate, not being able to pay for food or housing. People were becoming very tired of the quarantines, and it seemed all were on edge.

I then saw Simiel blow his trumpet of God from the Salt Lake Temple spire (to occur on 5-31-2020). He blew exactly like both Raguel and Oriphiel did, except the sound was a little more elevated in tone, and louder.

I then saw the words of Revelation 8:10-11 appear before us on the mural, just like they are in the Bible:

Revelation 8:10-11–

"And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;

And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter."

Heavenly Mother then turned to me, asking me what was the interpretation of this prophecy of the star named wormwood, and what the waters represented meant. I said I did not know, for I had never been told their meaning.

She then told me to come again tomorrow morning and she would share with me the interpretation of this prophecy.

I thanked her, and was now very curious! I then had the sensation of falling backwards from her presence until I was in my front room writing all of this down in my journal.

I closed my prayer in the name of Jesus Christ, and retired to bed.

B. R's Personal Journal Entry, May 14, 2020, Thursday

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.

Raphael, read over your journal entry that you have written and correct any small words or sentences, and then let my words stand as the correct interpretation of Revelation 8:10-11. This has never before been revealed to man, but now it is time to show it to my children. We will let you know when to share it with those on your email list in your future post 160.'

She then turned and walked into the mural and was gone! I thanked her for her amazing revelation this morning. I knew what I wrote to be from her and not from me.

Evening-I was working today and listening to my current post 158 to catch edits, and this scripture came to mind:

Ether 4:16–

"And then shall my revelations which I have caused to be written by my servant John be unfolded in the eyes of all the people. Remember, when ye see these things, ye shall know that the time is at hand that they shall be made manifest in very deed."

Some of these revelations given to John have been shown to me before they come to pass. The people in the world see the things he prophesied about, in very deed, like the coronavirus, or the China flag with the yellow star, and the news reports of the growing tensions between the United States and China. I feel humbled to receive the words of our Heavenly Parents as the events unfold. I feel so blessed!

I came to the rocky pit this evening, at the end of the river representing Jesus Christ. I knelt on the ground on the east end of the pit. I asked for my Heavenly Father or Heavenly Mother to come to me.

Heavenly Father appeared before me, standing a little ways from the edge in the air over the pit. He was smiling and glowing in light. He spoke to me:

'Raphael, the vision you received this morning on the last days mural from Heavenly Mother was truly given by her, and none of it was from your own imaginations. You have written her interpretation correctly.

All the wicked that fight against Zion, shall ultimately be cast into a pit like unto this pit before me. I have prepared a hell for them to keep them away from those elect on the earth that will come into the millennium.

In this spirit prison they will remain until they repent and progress. If they do not repent, they will come before me or my servants in the Day of Judgment and receive their eternal reward.

Once these pass into the prison that I have prepared, through death, they cannot return to disturb my righteous ones in the millennial day on the terrestrial earth.

1 Nephi 15:28-30–

"And I said unto them that it was an awful gulf, which separated the wicked from the tree of life, and also from the saints of God.

And I said unto them that it was a representation of that awful hell, which the angel said unto me was prepared for the wicked.

And I said unto them that our father also saw that the justice of God did also divide the wicked from the righteous; and the brightness thereof was like unto the brightness of a flaming fire, which ascendeth up unto God forever and ever, and hath no end."

The flaming fire is the glory of the terrestrial realm that will keep the wicked from coming into the millennium. This is similar fire to the corona flame that is now burning within our elect to help protect them from the plagues in these days.'

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his witness of what I received from Heavenly Mother this morning. I also thanked him for more information on hell and the gulf between the wicked and the righteous."

161H1-161H9: "6:10 am–This morning I awoke around 5:35 am and came to the Salt Lake Temple spire. I awaited the arrival of my archangel brothers and also my beloved Heavenly Parents.

Simiel was the first one I saw come. He came a little above the same spire that Raguel and Oriphiel had come previously. Simiel withdrew his trumpet of God from under his robe and placed it vertical, with the horn opening down. He was facing east, about 10 feet below my elevation, and in front of me.

Raguel came next and faced northeast, and raised his right arm to the square. He faced so that Simiel was behind him. He was at the same elevation as me. Oriphiel came next and faced northwest, and raised his arm to the square. Michael then came and face west. He withdrew his sword of Michael and raised it high above his head.

I then saw Uriel come and face southwest, and raise his right arm to the square. Finally, Gabriel came next to my left side, facing southeast, and raised his right arm to the square. I turned to the east, withdrew my sword of Raphael, and raised it directly above my head. I could then see my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother about 30 feet away, a little higher than us archangels in the circle.

I then looked at my cell phone back at my home in my telestial mortal realm on earth, and it was 6:00 am.

I then heard Simiel blow his trumpet of God behind me to the east. I somehow also saw him blow, from a replicated position above our circle of angels. The sound was a little higher than Oriphiel's sounding on April 30th, 2020, and with more loudness or intensity. Simiel blew for about 5 seconds, and then faced west. He blew the same note again in that direction. He next turned to the north and blew the same note for 5 seconds, and finally to the south and blew for 5 seconds.

Once Simiel had blown 4 times, he placed his trumpet of God under his robe on his backside, and then we all 7 archangels came on bended knee before our Heavenly Parents. To my far left was Michael, then Gabriel on my immediate left. On my closest right were Uriel, then Simiel, Oriphiel and finally Raguel. We all knelt in a line before our Heavenly Parents.

Heavenly Father then spoke to us: 'Our archangels sons, we are pleased that you have done according to our directions to you this last day of May, 2020, here above the Salt Lake Temple spire. Your blowing of the trumpet of God this morning Simiel, will now initiate the fall of the nation of communist China, and soon the initiation of war, even in this land of America, in fulfillment of Revelation 8:10-11.

You are now dismissed.'

All of my archangel brothers departed. I then looked upon my Heavenly Father before me. They then moved backwards and departed also to the east. I then got my journal and wrote all that had happened. I finished writing about 6:35 am and lay back in my bed."

165B1-165B15: "This morning I awoke at 5:30 a.m. and prepared myself to observe and participate in Uriel's blowing of the trumpet of God. I drank from my water bottle and asked that it be living water for me, to clarify my mind so that I would be receptive to see and remember the events this morning. I sat up in my bed, and got in a meditative state.

I came to the area just east of the spire on the Salt Lake temple where the statue of the Angel Moroni had been removed. It was 5:45 a.m. when I arrived. None of my archangel brothers were yet present. However, I could see and perceive a large array of people in a circle above me, spread out in tiers or rows around the temple, high up in the air. I could see all the mortal angels gathered in their places, and many celestial servants. There was a quiet hush among them, and nobody was speaking. It was a very reverent occasion in the celestial realm around the temple!

I perceived all the invited celestial attendees were in place and were silently waiting. It was 5:53 approximately when I saw Uriel descend from the sky above the temple. He saw me and our eyes met and he smiled at me. He came about 5 feet below me in the air, directly above the east spire. He withdrew the trump of God from under his robe, and held it vertically. He faced me, to the east and stood.

I then saw my archangel brothers also descend and take their places to form a circle around Uriel who would blow his trumpet. Michael came first and withdrew his sword of Michael, held it high in the air and forward, then turned to the west.

I next saw Raguel come next to me on my right side (I was still facing west towards Uriel) and face northeast, and raise his right arm to the square. Next was Oriphiel who did the same except he faced northwest. Simiel was the next to descend. He turned to the southwest and raised his right arm to the square. Finally Gabriel came, faced southeast, and raised his right arm to the square. I then withdrew my sword of Raphael and turned about directly east, and raised my sword above my head and slightly forward.

All of us seven brothers, the male archangels of God, were now ready and in position. Six of us surrounded Uriel in a circle and faced outwards, like we had done before when Raguel, Oriphiel and Simiel had previously sounded their trumpets of God.

I then looked up and saw a bright light coming from the eastern skies above. I saw three beings descend and come before me in the air, elevated about 20 feet and to the east. Heavenly Father was in the middle, Heavenly Mother to his left, and Jesus Christ to his right!

At this moment a breeze came from the west and blew east. I saw my own cape and those of the three Gods before me, blow to the east. I remembered the scripture that the east wind brought immediate destruction (Mosiah 7:31).

The wind subsided, and then I heard four consecutive notes of Uriel's trumpet. The notes were each about 5 seconds long, and separated by about 5 seconds. I knew he blew first east, then west, then north and finally south.

When he had finished, I glanced at my clock in my bedroom and it was 6:08 AM.

My six brothers and I then lined up before the three Gods to our east, from the left to right were Michael, Gabriel, me (Raphael), Uriel, Simiel, Oriphiel and Raguel. We knelt on bended left knees, and looked up to our Heavenly Father.

Heavenly Father then addressed us:

'Uriel, you have successfully blown the trumpet of God that I have given to you. You have blown in four directions, for all the peoples of the earth to hear. You have blown in the celestial, terrestrial and telestial realms above and in the earth.

The spiritual darkness prophesied in Revelation 8:12 will now come upon the earth and upon her inhabitants!'

Heavenly Father then raised his right hand and the light of the sky started dimming, even until there was darkness all around us! I could still see our three Gods, for they were shining in the darkness. I knew that the spiritual darkness on the earth had begun. I knew also that the east wind brought immediate change, which Heavenly Father initiated when he raised his arm and spiritual darkness fell upon the earth.

Heavenly Father, Heavenly Mother and Jesus Christ then started moving backwards into the east sky, and were gone in a few seconds. My archangel brothers then left. I turned and saw the hosts of heaven then disperse. I was left alone near the spire of the temple. I then came back to my room in my house in Utah, and wrote this account. It is now 7:15 AM when I completed my journal entry.

I believe I have recorded my account I witnessed accurately. Those who read this should also verify in their heart and mind that this is all real and true."

Sat, Jul 16, 2016
The sun, moon and stars darkened. Note that the moon was darkened, but did not turn to blood which is a sign of the battle of the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

______________________________

Revelation 8:12-13
12 And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.

13 And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!

160D7-160D21: "I then asked my Father the meaning of Revelation 8:12–

"And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise."

I said I knew Uriel would blow his trumpet of God on June 30th, 2020 which would bring about these events. I asked if this was going to be fulfilled literally or figuratively on the earth, or with some other meaning?

Heavenly Father then said he would answer my question. He then turned to the west, and I looked with him to the west. A breeze started blowing towards us (an east wind. I thought of the "east wind, that bringeth immediate destruction" (see Mosiah 7:31). I looked and saw dark clouds moving quickly in our direction.

As the dark clouds moved towards us, we could see the dark shadow of the clouds moving on the ground also, on the surface of the celestial orb.

Heavenly Father then spoke: 'Raphael, June and July in your area on the earth are known for beautiful summer months, with lots of sunshine. The longest day of the year will be on the summer solstice, on June 20th, 2020, just days before Uriel blows the trumpet of God that I gave to him.

During this summer, however, the earth skies will be spiritually darkened with black, heavy clouds like you see before us. Your land, and all of the inhabitants on the earth, will be darkened by reason of the clouds that will come over the earth, so that the people won't see one third of the light from the sun, moon and stars. Those who pray to us, their Heavenly Parents, will however, still be able to see clearly our light that continues to shine above the clouds, for we will disperse the clouds of falsehoods and Lucifer's stories and deceptions from their minds.

The darkness from the clouds will be spiritual darkness and confusion, misguided thinking, and darkened beliefs in following man, Satan, and the norms of society. Mankind who are not spiritually connected to us will have their minds darkened so much that they will ignore truth and light that we send down to them from the heavens. We will continue to seek to enlighten them, but the thick clouds of unbelief, falsehoods, improper thinking, and a belief in what their society and leaders tell them will confuse their minds so much that they won't listen to us anymore.

In order to break through the darkness coming to the earth, our mortal children will need to open their minds and hearts, cast aside the current beliefs and practices of their fellowman, and ask for the light of our inspiration to enlighten their minds and hearts. This will be a day of the awakening of some of our elect, but also a day of more darkened minds of the wicked.

The fraction of one third is also figurative, and means a large portion. When used in this scripture, a large portion of society on your earth will be deceived by reason of the spiritual darkness coming with more intensity to the earth.

At the conclusion of Uriel's sounding of the trumpet of God, I will send an angel, flying through the midst of the celestial skies above the earth that will pronounce three woes to the inhabitants of the earth:

Revelation 8:13

"And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!"

The months of June and July will continue to be darkened with spiritual darkness to most of the inhabitants on the earth. These, our children will feel that much has returned back to normal, even though the pandemic will still rage and won't be in control. In the fall, a second wave of the viral pandemic will emerge with more vengeance than ever before, and catch those off-guard who were deceived during their darkened spiritual summer months, summer in the northern hemisphere. The pandemic will worsen worldwide, with some areas erupting into great chaos and devastation. This will also be the time when Nibiru will descend from space as heralded by the sounding of your trumpet, Raphael, on July 31st, 2020 (see Revelation 9:1).'

The dark clouds we saw coming to us from the west now engulfed us entirely! I could still see my Father, for he was full of light and shining. However, all our surroundings were dark and the air felt moist and heavy.

'Raphael, the spiritual darkness coming to the earth in these, your summer months will be more intense than has ever come before to the earth. Your Heavenly Mother, Jesus Christ, and I will therefore redouble our efforts in trying to enlighten our elect, to counter this coming spiritual darkness. We will be quicker to answer the prayers of the people, and guide them to our truths and to safety, even among the darkness of the day.'

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his clear explanation of the verses in the book of Revelation I asked about. I said I would always seek to be near him and to follow his directions."

165I8-165I10: "Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, when you blow the trumpet of God that I have given to you on 7-31-2020 in 3 ½ weeks, the earth and its inhabitants will then be ready to have the physical fulfillment of Revelation 9:1-11. The spiritual fulfillment has already happened when you released Satan and his hosts upon the earth from the bottomless pit as explained in your post 21.

After you blow your trumpet, then Nibiru will come close to the earth and cause a very large earthquake and then will the invading armies from China and Russia invade your land. We will not give you the timing exactly of these two events, but brace yourself, for they will be at your doors, even this year. The magnitude of these two physical events will constitute the first woe spoken of by the angel of God who has already flown through the midst of heaven across your land, even at the time of your recent hidden lunar eclipse on 7-4-2020.

Revelation 8:13-"And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!"'

Heavenly Mother then spoke to me: 'Raphael, be of comfort, but prepare yourself more for that which is to come! These events are truly coming, and will reset your new normal life to another new normal life. These events will be added to the second wave of the virus that will sweep through your own land. You will do well to stay in place in your home and on your property during these uncertain times. Wintertime will also come, and it will be more difficult emotionally and socially to be confined than it has been so far this year.'"

Revelation 9:1-2
1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.

2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.

154D4-154D9: "Heavenly Father then appeared next to me, walking beside me! I stopped and faced him, and he turned to me and spoke:

'Raphael, your Heavenly Mother told you that your archangel brother would blow his trumpet of God on March 31st, 2020. This is in 15 days. The first angel in Revelation 8:7 is our seventh male archangel Raguel. The sounding of the other angels are the 6th, 5th, 4th, etc., even until the first who is Michael, the mighty angels spoken of in Revelation 10:1. In these chapters of Book of Revelation, these angels are numbered backwards so that the 7th angel is really the 1st archangel, or Michael.

You, Raphael, are the 5th angel sounding your trumpet as is recorded in Revelation 9:1-2. You have already blown your trumpet in the spirit realms on the earth, and have fulfilled the opening of the bottomless pit, which loosed Satan and all of his hosts on the earth (read about this event in your post 21 which occurred on July 31st, 2016). This was done in the telestial spirit realm on the earth. The second blowing of your trumpet, as well as all of your archangel brothers' sounding of their trumpets, will herald this time the actions in your physical mortal world, not just in the spirit realms on the earth.

Raguel will start the blowing of his trumpet on 3-31-2020. He will be followed by Oriphiel on 4-30-2020, by Simiel on 5-31-2020, by Uriel on 6-30-2020, and then by you Raphael on 7-31-2020, four years from when you first blew your trumpet of God. Gabriel and Michael will blow their trumpets later but not in the same end-of-month sequence. The events spoken of in Revelation chapters 8-9 will initiate on the physical earth upon the sounding of your trumpets of God.

Raphael, your Heavenly Mother and I have the events leading up to the second coming of our Beloved Son Jesus Christ all planned in detail even from the beginning. We show our prophets glimpses of these events that they too have written, like our servant John the Revelator. You will be the only archangel and prophet who will live through these times in your mortal body on earth. We will reveal to you every major event happening on earth as it occurs. We want you to record these in your personal journal and to share them, as you are able, with your small group on your email list. This year, 2020, is the pivotal year when these events begin happening, even as a whirlwind descending upon the earth.'

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his words today! I said I would do all he or Heavenly Mother would ask of me. I told him I would stand ready to fulfill his will."

______________________________

Revelation 9:1-11
1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.

2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.

3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.

4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.

5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.

6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.

7 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.

8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.

9 And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.

10 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.

11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.

168B12-168B15: "Here is what Heavenly Father told me about these meteorite showers coming soon to the earth:

'When Nibiru, the binary star comes on its pass around the earth, it will bring with it many meteorites, asteroids (larger objects) and even comets. These are held in the orbital path of Nibiru because of its very large gravitational pull. This Nibiru system rotates around your sun and only occasionally comes near your earth. Its advent is very soon, with many meteorites falling to the earth. These meteor showers will come in such intensity that large areas will catch fire from these falling objects from the skies, all over the earth.

Nibiru will pass by the earth in the first part of next year in 2021. When it does, there will be a very cataclysmic earthquake in the central part of the United States. This will cause much water to flood the area of the New Jerusalem. It is shortly after these calamities that the northern tribes of Israel will come to that area and help in the early construction of that holy city.

Heavenly Father told me that these devastations will be initiated by the sounding of my trumpet on July 31, 2020. This devastation constitutes a "woe" in God's eyes, and will be very difficult times for the inhabitants of the earth. There will be large earthquakes, frequent power outages, and many fires from the meteorites.

I reread Revelation 9:1-11 wherein John the Revelator spoke "I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth", "a smoke arose out of the pit" (like a meteorite hitting the earth and causing a hole or pit), and darkened skies with smoke. These could all refer to the coming of the Nibiru system to the earth."

______________________________

Revelation 9:3-5
3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.

4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.

Fri, Mar 22, 2024
This scripture is in fulfillment of Isaiah 28:2, when one mighty and strong comes to the earth, and a woe is pronounced: "2. 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."

21M14, July 31, 2016- "I then placed both of my hands on the sword and raised the sword above my head. I then felt Heavenly Father's right hand on my left shoulder, and Jesus' left hand on my right shoulder. I next lowered the sword so that the tip touched the edge of the pit and the seal. I quickly then moved the sword again directly above my head.

At that moment, the seal entirely disappeared. I then saw a very large, black column of darkness gush forth into the air! It was huge, the entire two-mile distance across the pit, filling the air with great force! I remembered the scripture, which says this would be like 'smoke out of the pit as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit' (Revelation 9:2) I believe this was Satan and many of his evil hosts, exiting the bottomless pit!"

168E21, July 31, 2020- "I blew this same trumpet 4 years ago. At that time I also used the black key to loose Satan and his hosts from the bottomless pit. You can read it all in my post 21. This was the first time I blew my trumpet and used my black key. It was all done in the spiritual realm, or affecting the spiritual where Satan and his hosts came with fury among the peoples of this world. The latest trumpet blowing was to initiate events in the physical world.

Even though the account in Revelation 9:1-11 is written as happening once, it really happened twice, once for the spiritual realm 4 years ago, and once anew for the physical today."

169A22-169A31: "I then asked them about what happens in the five months of the occupying armies in the land of America? I had just read Revelation 9:1-12.

Heavenly Father answered me: 'Raphael, now that you have blown the trumpet I gave you on 7-31-2020, your land is primed to be invaded by foreign powers, mostly from China and Russia. I have given these armies power, even as scorpions on the earth have power, and there is no escape. They will fill your land like locusts, even locusts that came out of smoke, or inspired of Satan:

Revelation 9:3

"And there came out of the smoke (meaning Satan inspires and leads them) locusts upon the earth (locusts because this depicts that there is almost an endless number that will come): and unto them was given power as the scorpions of the earth have power."

They will be very aggravating to those in your land. Any who oppose them will be killed, but those who allow them to come without resistance will be allowed to live. By this invading army your nation and its leaders will be scattered and lose their power. There are those in your country who supported them secretly and have created alliances with the Chinese and Russian leaders (see Revelation 9:4-6).

The invading troops will have much machinery for war (Revelation 9:9). They will take over forcibly the government of the people. The description of the people having faces of men and hair as the hair of women is John's description of the Chinese soldiers. They are very strict in their obedience to their commanders, and are depicted as having the teeth of lions, or are very powerful to any who oppose them.

In Revelation 9:11 their king is Lucifer, even the angel of the bottomless pit. He controls both the leaders of China and Russia, who are the main nations who have allied in attacking and overcoming your country of the United States of America. Their rule over America will be harsh, even as Isaiah spoke of in Isaiah 19:4.

Those in the cities will be far worse off than those in the rural areas. The pandemic will still rage among the people when the armies come. Most of the country will be without electric power, and will be fed by the invading troops.

Raphael, once the troops invade your land, they will remain five months, even as our servant John wrote. At the end of this period the tribes of Israel from the north and from the south will come and destroy these armies by my power as described in Isaiah 10:12-27. The consumption decreed in verses 22-23 will be a plague among these invading armies that will cause many of them to die or to return to the foreign lands they came from. The wicked in your land will also die in large numbers from this consumption, but all of the elect will be protected by the corona flame of Heavenly Mother and will survive this consumption.

Isaiah 10:24-25, 27

"Therefore thus saith the Lord God of hosts: O my people that dwellest in Zion (the elect of God), be not afraid of the Assyrian (the invading armies): he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt,

For as yet a very little while, and the indignation shall come, and mine anger in their destruction.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken from off thy shoulders, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing."' (words in parenthesis in this entry are from Heavenly Father).

I thanked my Father for his words of clarity that he shared in answering my question! I thanked him that we, who were the elect of God in this chosen land, would have a relatively short time of occupation by foreign troops. I thanked him for the greater understanding I now have of how this will all play out upon our land of promise."

Revelation 9:4-5
4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.

5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.

Fri, Oct 20, 2023
This seal is given to the elect of God, whom he has chosen to be his elect. These will be protected, and guided unto the terrestrial world, to enter the millennium.

170C2-170C7: "Heavenly Father spoke, 'Raphael, there are times when unexpected things or events happen. I will continue where I left off.

The devouring fire is not a nuclear bomb that causes widespread destruction of property and land and people. Instead your enemies want to depopulate the land so they may take over the land with minimum destruction. They are interested in destroying the people but not the infrastructure in the land, nor any green thing:

Revelation 9:4-5-

"And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.

And to them it was given that they should not kill them (those who have the seal of God in their foreheads), but they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as a torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man."

This will be an occupying foreign army who will destroy the people who oppose them, for they care not for the lives of their captors. The people in your country will die from the great calamities coming upon the land from the destruction caused by the Nibiru system, and not so much from the invading troops. The invading armies will masquerade as helpers to the people who will survive, for they will distribute food and will collect the many dead in the process of clearing the land from the destructions. We will preserve our elect through all of this destruction by our power, for they have the seal of God upon them and we have assigned to them our heavenly servants to protect and guide them.

At the same time as these destructions, the pandemic will continue to rage in the land. We will protect our elect by the Mother's corona fire that will destroy the virus before being able to lodge and take hold in their bodies.

The people in the land will mostly not have electric power, or use of computer systems or any cell phones or sensitive electronic equipment, for these will have been destroyed by the EMP. Some will have protected their own sensitive electronics by using faraday cages, electrical hardening devices, or other known means, but these will be few compared to the general population. Your land will suddenly be thrust back to days before electricity was introduced, or modern equipment and machines. This will destroy in your land the flow of commerce, which the great whore, even modern Babylon, used to thrive upon."

186F15-186F25: "She spoke: 'Raphael, you have wondered over the past few days when the start of the five months of the occupying army would start. You thought that in many ways that the United States is already infiltrated with Chinese ties that are controlling the new US Policy under President Biden. You also believed Chinese and perhaps Russian soldiers are already in place, even with their units in various parts of your nation.

In all of this wondering, you have set aside any preconceived ideas of how your country will be overcome and occupied.

I have come to tell you that the five month occupation of foreign invaders and troops has already begun in your land. They are currently seeking to impeach ex-president Donald Trump, whom they know clearly won the presidential election, and from whom they fraudulently stole away the election. They want no possible way that anyone could overturn the election, or that he could possibly come back in four years with popular support and again become the president.

This political agenda that the majority of your federal leaders now have in place is moving forward and is coordinated with the Chinese Communist regime. China control has fully taken over your federal government, many state governments, most of the large and controlling industries in your land, including all forms of media, manufacturing and large businesses, a vast number of universities, and some of the military leadership. China has completed the first stage of taking over your country, and are now occupying your land by their bought-out puppet leaders who do whatever they say.

All of these actions are shutting down your freedoms, one after another. Many of the freedom protecting laws once in place are being removed and replaced with tight controls and restrictions. This tendency will continue at a fast pace until the destruction of your constitutional republic is completed. They will then be able to control the citizens of your land, and do as they wish. At that point, whether the land is named the United States of America or some other name, or no name at all, will make no difference. Their intent is to destroy the republic and supplant it with their own regime of control and tyranny. This 'soft' takeover will continue as long as possible without military conflict, for they can advance their policies and plans faster in a deceptive environment rather than in an outright military takeover. It will be fast and more thoroughly come about in secret than out in the open.

Once this second phase of full control is in place, with foreign troops on the ground, your republic destroyed, and the puppet leaders still in place, the foreign communist regime will no longer need these leaders. They will double cross them, eliminate them, and immediately have full power and direct control over the promised land and people themselves. The oppressions and tyranny in the land will then continue to increase. Their ultimate objective will be to eliminate the current population and replace them with their own.

Speaking of this foreign power that overtakes and destroys your nation, John the Revelator said this:

Revelation 9:4-5

"And it was commanded them (the foreign invaders) that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads. (they do this to preserve the land for their own people)

And to them it was given that they should not kill them (not kill the elect who have the seal of God on their foreheads), but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man." (words in parentheses by Heavenly Mother).

The wicked will be destroyed in large numbers by the occupying armies of the foreign regimes and the calamities that will come upon your land. However, we will preserve our elect, but many of them will be tormented and have heavy hardships and difficulties.

The time now has come for our elect leaders who know us, to receive of my celestial fruit like you ate of last night. They will then be more capable of keeping their emotional state in check and control, even in these troubled times and when we give them very difficult assignments.'

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her clear explanation to me of more details of the takeover and destruction of my nation. I thanked her for these details. I thanked her also again for the celestial fruit she gave to me."

______________________________

Revelation 9:5-9
5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.

6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.

7 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.

8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.

9 And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.

38E3-38E7, from Heavenly Father: "Our capes are again blowing in the wind of change. You have remarked recently, that it seems that life is passing by quickly. This sensation will only now increase as the year winds down to an end this December.

You blew your trumpet of God on July 31, 2016, soon to be five months ago. This period of five months is spoken on in Revelation 9:5-6, and is described as torment, as the torment of a scorpion when he striketh a man: 'And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.'

t that time in the summer, you had written that this would be a situation in Libya, where severe oppression would occur. This is true.

However, this is now also to be exposed and erupt in your own land. There are very rich and powerful men and women who are involved in secret societies, who control much of the government and industry, in the United States (represented by the 'heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men. And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions' in verses 7-8). This is a worldwide, clandestine, and very evil group, who now are about to unleash their evil plans upon the entire world, including your own land. This involves war, or racing towards warfare (verse 9: 'And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.')

You will have war in your own land by the first part of the year 2017, once the torture and hurting time ends on December 31st, 2016 (see verse 10).

In 2017, there will be a new king in the land, a very wicked and evil man, possessed by Lucifer. This is called one of the woes by the angel of God flying through the midst of heaven (Revelation 8:13), and called a woe also by John the Revelator in Revelation 9:12.

I am telling you this, Raphael, for your own personal information, and not to yet be shared with the mortal angels. I will let you know when to share it.

The service of our angels will ramp up steadily as the sounds of war, and actual invasion and war occurs in your world. 2017 is the start of world-wide calamity amongst all nations.'

(Later update, by R: it is now October 2017, and there hasn't been an outbreak of war yet in the United States that is noticeable, since life seems to be going on for most people. There has been a lot of rebellion and riots in the land, however, ever since Donald Trump was elected and installed as the President. I believe the elite have started war, but it is kept secret from the people for now.)"

Revelation 9:13-19
13 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,

14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.

15 And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.

16 And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.

17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.

18 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.

19 For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.

Thu, Dec 1, 2011
Four angels loosed (which were bound in the river Euphrates) to slay 1/3 of men, for an hour, a day, a month and a year. This is an army which will descend upon the Jews in Jerusalem in the Holy Land.

Revelation 10:1-4
1 And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:

2 And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,

3 And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.

4 And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.

Tue, Sep 27, 2016
This is the angel with right foot on sea, left foot on earth, then the 7 thunders utter their voices (sealed up). This is Michael, the might archangel.

159M5-159M6, from Heavenly Father: "He then sat down next to me and spoke further: 'Raphael, the seventh angel to blow his trumpet I gave to him, who is clothed with a cloud and a rainbow upon his head is Michael, my chief archangel. The cloud and rainbow that this mighty angel has signifies that Zion will come down from heaven and come to the earth below This will happen when the seven thunders utter their voices, and report back to Michael.

The covenant of the rainbow is our covenant that our elect will live in Zion, the paradise of the celestial glory, among those on the mortal earth. It includes our promise too that our celestial Church of the Firstborn will finally be established among them, and that the elect of all times may be joined as one in their journey towards eternal life and their exaltation together."

Revelation 10:5-7

6 And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:

7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.

Revelation 10:8-11
8 And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.

9 And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.

10 And I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.

11 And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.

52N3-52N10: "I next asked about K.P.'s questions that she had emailed to me, whether I should find the answers to her questions about John and Elias. She wrote me on May 28th:

Good Morning R,
May this be a marvelous Sabbath for you.

I have some questions concerning John the Beloved. Can you tell us more about his role as Elias in these last days? D&C 77:14 Tells us that John eating the little book is a mission an ordinance to gather the tribes of Israel "behold this is Elias, who as it is written, must come and restore all things." and D&C 77:9 tells us that "the angel ascending from the east is he to whom is given the seal of the living God ...and if you will receive it, this is Elias which was to come to gather together the tribes of Israel and restore all things". Rev 10 tells us after eating the little book verse 11 to John "Thou must prophesy again before many people and nations and tongues and kings". The same message is found in D&C 7:6 "Yea, he (John) 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. D&C 7:4... For he desire of me that he might bring souls unto me. 3 ...and prophesy before nations kindreds, tongues and people.

From all written by John especially the book for Revelation and the Lord referring to him as John, my Beloved, he is probably the son of Jesus Christ. Is that right?

Thank you for blessing especially me and many others with downloads from heaven!

K.P."

Q– May I know more of the role of Elias in these last days?
A– Elias is not one particular person, but a messenger from God who has a forerunner mission. John the Baptist served as an Elias before the earthly appearance and ministry of Jesus Christ in the flesh.

In these last days, there are many who are fulfilling this role of an Elias, prior again to the coming of Jesus Christ to the earth.

The holy angels are preparing the way, in the spirit and calling of Elias. The people of Enoch and the 144,000 are also doing vital foundational work, to gather and prepare the elect of God, to be in place and ready for the glorious return of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to the earth.

John the Beloved, who wrote the Book of Revelation, has a mission of an Elias for these last days. His words in the book of Revelation describe the events of these last days. His commission to record these events were specifically given to him, as a mission, as emphasized by his eating the little book. See Revelation 10:8-9-11:

"And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.

And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.

And I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.

And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings."

The angel ascending from the east, in Revelation 7:2 ("And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels,"), is not John the Beloved, but is an angel who was commissioned to speak and command the two male and two female angels who sealed the 144,000 on their foreheads. This angel also acts in the role of an Elias, as do the four angels and as do the 144,000 who are sealed.

Raphael, you are also acting in a role of an Elias, in helping orchestrate and prepare every needful thing in the celestial realms, as God directs you.

See also the LDS Bible Dictionary for a good explanation of Elias."

4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.

5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.

59B3-59B4: "Heavenly Mother spoke:

'Raphael, the sign of the heavens last night has been fulfilled. Nibiru was there next to Jupiter, symbolizing Revelation 12:3-4, with the red dragon ready to consume the man-child when he was born:

Revelation 12:3-4–

"And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.

Revelation 12:6,14
6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.

14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

51J15-51J19: "I have reflected about the wilderness area, and concluded it is reserved for us who work directly in the celestial realms for those elect on the earth. There are vast areas of the celestial world beyond this wilderness area. These areas house the billions of premortal spirits yet to be born on earth.

They have their dwelling there, but I am not privy to any of this yet. I know all about the wilderness area, for I have visited and frequented all of it regularly in my prayers and healings. This is the same area spoken of in Revelation 12:6 and 14.

Revelation 12: 6,14–

"And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.

And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent."

In verse 14, the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness into her place. This is figuratively this celestial realm in the wilderness area of heaven, on God's celestial orb and kingdom, far away from the reaches of the adversary. This is our base of operations to work from to help rescue and save God's elect on the earth.

There will also be a wilderness area on the earth, a sanctuary, in the New Jerusalem area, now in Jackson County, Missouri. This will also be a celestial area, a wilderness area, free from the intrusion of Satan and his hosts. I too will be very involved in the establishment I believe, of this wilderness area on the earth. The living water is already there, deep in the earth, as are the precious metals–all brought from the celestial wilderness area of heaven.

Oh, the grandeur of God! Their great planning and power in saving the righteous on the earth! I feel so blessed to be part of this great and grand effort!"

15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.

16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.

17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Revelation 12:16
16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.

28C3-28C4: "JST Revelation 12:

"Therefore, to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might flee into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

And the serpent casteth out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.

And the earth helpeth the woman, and the earth openeth her mouth, and swalloweth up the flood which the dragon casteth out of his mouth.

Therefore, the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ."

Q– What does it mean that the "serpent casteth out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman?" What kinds of things will this include, and is the water literal?
A– From Heavenly Mother: Lucifer and his hosts will seek in every way to destroy all attempts of establishing our church of the Firstborn in the future, with the devastated land area of Jackson County, Missouri. He will ravish the land, making it desolate. When you go there next April, to bless the waters, he will attempt to divert rivers to wash over the land. The earth will open her mouth and the rivers will be diverted away from the spring of water. Satan will also try to discourage you and others from laying the foundations of the New Jerusalem and the church of the Firstborn."

Revelation 13:1-3
1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.

3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

Sun, Jul 31, 2011
One of the heads is one of 7 heads, which is the last head (others are all fallen kingdoms). 10 horns are 10 earthly kingdoms that are contemporaries of the beast. Pres Kimball said these are European nations. See the heading to this chapter for explanation of the animal traits of the beast.

The head wounded is the 7th head, and the world thinks it died (communism is dead), but in reality it stealthily went underground, and like the leopard, could only be seen by what work it did, and never seen.

168M6-168M15, from Heavenly Mother: "Raphael, I spoke to S yesterday when he wrote that we were willing to share with you more about the beast and the false prophet. It is now time to share some of this understanding with you. In the post we have revealed only a small amount. However, very soon the false prophet and the beast will become more prominent in the world news.

Both Jesus Christ and your Heavenly Father have identified that President Russell M. Nelson is a false prophet. Other false prophets will also arise in the world. He will be the one spoken of specifically in the Book of Revelation. By his words, given him by Lucifer, and purported to be from us, his true Gods, he will deceive and lead away many. The Latter-day Saints in particular are very gullible, and trust what their leaders speak without confirming that their words are from us. By this means, many will become ensnared in the clever sophistries of the evil one.

There will be a time when the LDS church will promote to its members to accept the vaccine for the Covid-19 virus. However, this will be a great mistake, for the vaccine will not stop the spread of the virus, but will implant in those who receive it an RFID chip and more disease that will ultimately weaken them and cause death in many. The vaccine is touted as a cure for the coronavirus, but it is being recklessly created with intentions to do more harm than good.

This RFID chip that will be injected into the unsuspecting people will be planned to be used to control the masses, their movement and actions. This is a very sinister plan of the adversary, for he seeks to control and subjugate all humanity with his dominion. Your secular leaders will ultimately require those who earn money to receive this mark of the beast. They think they will therefore create a working class that they may control and always monitor. Ultimately the RFID chip will contain their personal information that will supplant their current methods of identification. Without such a mark in their body, they will be restricted in many areas from buying and selling (see Revelation 13: 16-18 and 14: 9-11).

Raphael, in your own business, you sell products as an authorized merchant on Amazon. This company, along with multitudes of others, will soon require barcodes on their products that are issued by a central controlling agency to ensure their authenticity and control their distribution. Without this barcode, these large corporations will prevent the purchase or sale of these products. They will incorporate these restrictions for those only who have the RFID chip in their body or can give this number on their purchases. The RFID chip will be part of the global vaccine to supposedly protect them from the pandemic in your world. However, this vaccine will not protect them, but be the excuse to corral the people into subjugation under a new world order.

The beast as termed in the Book of Revelation is another man, like the false prophet, who will mislead men. This is Pope Francis who resides in the Vatican in Rome. He promotes many ideologies and practices of the adversary, and has power to lead many in the Catholic Church astray by his influence. He will work in collusion with the false prophet and the emerging global government that he will be part of. His purpose is to turn his followers away from Jesus Christ and toward the worship of man and materialism. He has been doing this since he became the current pope and leader of the Catholic Church.

Your Father and I desire our elect to become as self reliant as possible. We want our elect to confirm all that they receive with us, with the intention of receiving the truth and following our direction. Without our guidance, there will be many multiple false paths they could pursue that will lead them to captivity and destruction, both temporally and spiritually.

Raphael, these are treacherous times! We desire continual communication throughout your days in constant prayer with you. We also desire our other mortal angels and servants whom we lead and direct to be in continual communion with us, their Gods. We will then have quick access to their hearts and minds, and they will have immediate access to us also. We will then be able to lead them daily in their lives, even as they are challenged and perplexed by the many multiple choices placed before them.'

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her words of truth she revealed to me this morning!

Heavenly Father spoke next: 'Raphael, stay here at these treetops above our fir forest today, and we will be available to you. We will help you understand the complex nature of the plan of the adversary to entrap and control our children in mortality.

168M17-168M18, from S: "8-7-20 AM

In prayer, my kids were already awake and making a lot of noise in the next room. Normally my children are still asleep when I pray early in the morning and it is quiet. I had studied verses about antichrists written in the book of John, then false-prophet and beast spoken of by John in the book of Revelations. I then called upon my Heavenly Parents in prayer. I felt Heavenly Mother's presence beside me and I asked about what I had studied this morning and why I felt prompted to read more about these topics. Heavenly Mother spoke to my mind, "By connecting frequently with us, you are able to hear my voice even with distraction in the next room. This ability comes from practice and trying to seek Us continually. There will be times of distress or challenge ahead where you will need to connect with us in a moment's notice amidst distractions, and we will commune with you. Jesus communed with us in a similar manner when the Pharisees brought the woman taken in adultery. As he continued to write on the ground, Jesus was communing with us directly at that time by his thoughts and intention. You were directed to study more about the beast and false prophet today. There is more we are willing to share at this time. Reach out to Raphael and we will reveal more on this subject through him."

That was my experience and I look forward to any of your thoughts on this subject.

Your friend,

S"

168N1-168N34: "Yesterday I thought a lot about what I had written. I thought whether I had received correctly the information from Heavenly Mother, particularly about Pope Francis being the beast in Revelation. There are actually several beasts mentioned in that book. I believe the one Heavenly Mother was referring to is found in Revelation 13:11:

"And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon."

I read in Revelation from chapter 9 to 21, and tried to be open and inquisitive. Then last night I was very tired and prayed. Heavenly Mother spoke to my mind words like this:

'Raphael, I will share with you in your unconscious mind the meaning and interpretations of John's words in the book of Revelation. This will be in your sleep on earth. Then in the morning I will give you some of what I will have spoken to you at night. These things have been hidden from the world since they were first shown to John.'

I had a very restless night, and was awake and then asleep a lot of the time. I don't know if this had any bearing on what Heavenly Mother said she would reveal to me at night in my unconscious mind.

This morning I feel refreshed, but still perplexed. I have felt this way many times, and greatly desire to hear the voice of God settle my mind and give me revelation.

I came to the tree of life where I ate of the fruit and leaf of that tree. I felt settled and receptive. I then came to God's Loving Healing Lake and drank living water from this lake from my cupped hand. I then walked up to the bench facing south to the lake, and sat down. I pulled up my healing seer stone and looked into it, seeking communion with my Heavenly Mother.

She then appeared immediately in front of me, a little elevated in the air! She was shining brightly and was smiling. I felt her love and acceptance come into my being which brought to me an extreme amount of calmness and assurance.

I immediately came upon my knees before her. I looked up into her beautiful face and I spoke:

'My glorious Heavenly Mother, I have been perplexed whether I heard you correctly about Pope Francis being the person identified as the beast in Revelation 13:11. I would like corrections or a confirmation of what I have written, plus any further information you may wish to share with me.'

Heavenly Mother responded: 'Raphael, what I have revealed to you yesterday and what you wrote in your journal account is accurate. The current pope of the Roman Catholic Church, Pope Francis, is identified as the second beast as given in Revelation 13:11 who has two horns as a lamb and speaks as a dragon.

While preparing for your morning prayer, you searched the Internet for images of Pope Francis and for images of a horned sheep. The ones you found are clear enough to show the similarities that John the Revelator saw in vision. He saw Pope Francis with his ceremonial headdress. (Note: I looked up online and it is called a "papal tiara, a jeweled three-tiered crown used at papal coronations from 1305 to 1963"). To John it seemed like this was similar to the image of a two horned sheep that he was familiar with. The word lamb was used since Pope Francis represents the largest Christian based church in your current world, and Christ is referred to as the Lamb of God. The teachings and practices of the Catholic Church are, however, not similar at all to those found in the true Church of Christ.

The first beast spoken of in Revelation 13:1-3 refers to an earthly kingdom or nation in your day whose beliefs and control tactics have been practiced by other earthly kingdoms before it.

Revelation 13:1-3–

"And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.

And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast."

The current earthly kingdom that is identified with this beast is Russia. It has fully adopted the communist dogma, inspired by Lucifer, to control and subjugate the people. Its practices control every aspect of the lives of its people for the good of the state or central governing power. This is a sinister and evil form of government. Its practices have been used from the beginning under different names, whether through dictators or monarchs as represented by the seven heads. The six previous heads are various kingdoms that practiced similar tyranny upon their own people.

The beast is depicted to be like a leopard that is stealthy and deceptive, hardly ever seen and hidden from the rest of the world in terms of its ambition and purposes. The beast is like a bear, which is the national symbol of Russia. The beast is like a mouth of a lion, the symbol of England and Judah. Karl Marx had both English and Jewish ancestry. He is the mouthpiece of communism. The lion is also a symbol of crushing power, a mouth that represents a voracious appetite. When John referred to the beast with a mouth of a lion, he was referring to basic tenants of communism as originally taught by Karl Marx.

The wounded head is the seventh head, and the world thought that communism died when the Berlin wall came down in November 1989. The Soviet Union apparently collapsed in 1991, and Russia became a democratic republic. However, this was all for show, and the same power structure continued, even as the stealthy leopard went underground.

This beast, or the earthly nation of Russia, is given power to flourish by the dragon, or Satan:

Revelation 14:4

"And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?"

Raphael, we told you before that the invading armies of China and Russia would be allowed to come into your land of America and overcome your nation and peoples for five months (see Revelation 9:5 and your post 165I4 and post 165I9). However, the beast of Russia will continue to have dominion in the remainder of the earth for 42 months total, or 3½ years:

Revelation 13:5–

"And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies (the dogma of socialism and communism); and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months." (words in parenthesis in this and other scriptures in this entry from Heavenly Mother).

Russia will continue in its power over "all kindreds, tongues and nations." (Revelation 13:7).

Pope Francis will come into greater world power during the time that Russia has world domination, except for power over the promised land of America. In America there will have been a major cleansing of the land and the beginning construction of the New Jerusalem.

The Russian leaders will allow Pope Francis to come into power since he will work in collusion with them. He will promote the principles of socialism and communism that gives them great power over the nations of the earth.

Pope Francis will act as a religious leader, and yet will speak and promote works of darkness inspired by Lucifer:

Revelation 13:12–

"And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed (Russia)."

At this time, Russia will bring forth its secret destructive powers and anti-gravity machines, and have them be initiated from the command of Pope Francis in order to trick the people into compliance:

Revelation 13:13-14

"And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live."

The "image of the beast" is not a physical statue, but socialism, for the tenets of socialism and communism are the same, only the methods of subjugating the people vary. Socialism creates the same suppression of the people by legislation and gradually taking over the industries, so that absolute control still resides in the central government. Communism does this by force of power from armies and the police force.

There will be a worldwide requirement for all nations, except those living in the land of promise at this time, to conform to communist or socialist dogmas and practices. If the people do not conform to their tyranny of power, they will be killed (see Revelation 15:14).

Pope Francis, the Russian state, and their controlled communist and socialist countries will then introduce the mark of the beast as spoken in Revelation 13:16-18

"And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six."

At the same time that all of this is happening, the 144,000 will be summoned and set on their missions upon all the earth from the land of promise to gather the elect from all nations (see Revelation chapter 14).

Raphael, I have explained the great mystery of the identity of the two beasts spoken of in Revelation chapter 13, as seen by our servant John. Continue to pray for understanding, for there is much which I haven't explained that will yet be revealed to you in coming days.'

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her great revelations! I asked if I had recorded her words correctly in my journal. She nodded and said I had correctly written her words.""

The bear is the national symbol of Russia

The mouth of lion is symbol of England and Judah (Karl Marx both of English and Jewish ancestry, he is the mouthpiece of communism), lion symbol of power and destruction, mouth represents voracious appetite (100 million people murdered by communists past century)

When the revelator refers to the beast, he might be referring to Karl Marx, and also communism.

Revelation 13:4
4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?

29C1-29C10: "Today we had a relaxing day. My wife and our two youngest daughters went to a baby shower, and my son was gone to work, and I started watching several Youtube videos when they were gone. The one that I enjoyed the most was about 'flying saucers', and was a documentary about how they work. It was very interesting to me, having an analytical mind, and being a mechanical engineer by training. Then I listened a little to a video about a secret underground Nevada base with aliens. This all brought up lots of questions, that I addressed to my Father in Heaven:

Q– Are the anti-gravity flying machines (UFO's, or flying saucers), which I saw depicted on the documentary real?
A– Yes

Q– Is the technology in the hands of friendly or unfriendly forces to God?
A– These are unfriendly forces, not of God.

Q– Will this technology be used during the era of peace, in the millennium?
A– Yes, in the hands of the righteous at that time.

Q– Was I led to see this documentary about the technology of anti-gravity flying vehicles?
A– Yes

Q– Why should I know about this?
A– This information will help you identify the enemy that will be introduced to the world in the near future. See Revelation 13:13-14–

"And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast"

These miracles include technologies about anti-gravity machines, which will be able to deceive men on the earth. This technology is in the hands of wicked men, whose ambition it is to gain power and control over mankind.

In Revelation 13:4–

"And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?"

They will say this about controlling governments, partly because of the high technology that they possess, which has heretofore been kept secret. It will be difficult, or impossible in the eyes of the peoples of the earth, to fight against their sinister war and surveillance machines, aimed at controlling and using mankind.

However, God is powerful, and the power of his angels, and of the earth, are all more powerful than Satan and his sinister plans. God will come out of his hiding place, and vex the nations of the earth. (See D&C 123:6; 121:4 and 101:89-91–
D&C 121:4–

"let thy hiding place no longer be covered; let thine ear be inclined; let thine heart be softened, and thy bowels moved with compassion toward us."

D&C 101:89-91–

"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;

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;

Even in outer darkness, where there is weeping, and wailing, and gnashing of teeth.")

Q– Will I ever be confronted, or will healing angels, or other angels be confronted with abduction or destruction by these forces or machines?
A– Yes

Q– What do we do in that instance?
A– Raphael, you will come on the scene, after they petition the Father for you to come. Then raise your sword of Raphael above your head and forward. The silver lightning will disable the technology of man so that their plans will be frustrated."

5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.

6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

These are the characteristics of the beast: the people worship the dragon (Satan) who controls and sustains the beast; the beast speaks blasphemies against God; the beast will overcome all people including Saints. This may mean those Saints who are outside of their protected ground, or holy places.

Revelation 13:11-14
11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

Revelation 14:1-5
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.

2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:

3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.

4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.

5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.

Revelation 14:6-7
6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,

7 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.

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.

[Note added April 20, 2024: the Book of Raphael will be added to the sacred records in the New Jerusalem library once the millennium begins. These will also be transported at that time from R's property in Utah County to the New Jerusalem. See my notes in Genesis 49:26 and Isaiah 2:2.]

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."

Revelation 14:14-20
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.

15 And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.

16 And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.

17 And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.

18 And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.

19 And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.

20 And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.

32B1-32B12: "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.

Then I was then immediately back in my bedroom, by my bed kneeling.

Later: I was about to type this all up today, after I dropped A. off at BYU for his classes. I am at a park in Provo. My sister K then called me! We had a long talk, and I shared with her the experience from last night and this morning. As I was talking about this, more of the meaning of the harvest came out which I explained to her.

Here is the meaning: The harvest of the souls of men and women is completed in its first part, and they are now gathered spiritually to the garners. This is not now a physical gathering (the second part), but more of a marking, or a selection of the elect by their Father. These elect that he has chosen might be even those in the paths of sin, but, in the foreknowledge of the Father, he even knows who will change and come unto him. The elect also are all the good people of the earth, whom he knows individually. These are all selected, for the Father has said that the spiritual harvest is completed, and these elect are now gathered spiritually to the garners. I take that to be a safe place where he, our God, will protect them individually while they are in the world.

Now, when the 144,000 go forth upon the earth, they will gather all these who have been preselected by the Father, who are the elect. These 144,000 will not go to the tares, or the wicked, but only to the elect. They will gather these physically also, to the New Jerusalem, by their portals and via teleportation skills, like we are learning now too. This will be the physical gathering of the elect (the second part of the harvest), before the field is fully burned, at the second coming of Jesus Christ.""

57N12-57N14, from Raphael, speaking at a meeting in the celestial world: "You were each brought in the Spirit last October 3rd, 2016 to Mount Zion on earth, called Mt Timpanogos in Utah. Jesus Christ appeared on that mountain, and called and commissioned you to be his 144,000. This great event is described in the book of Revelation, chapter 14. A sickle was given to Jesus Christ, and he was told to reap the earth, for the harvest of the earth was ripe. Jesus Christ then thrust in his sickle in the earth, and the earth was reaped (see Revelation 14:14-16–

"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.

And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy 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.").

Since that time, the world we live in has become increasingly more wicked. Satan and his hosts have been in the land, and have lured and tricked even many of the elect of God to follow their ways. The world is full of evil and darkness!"

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."

Revelation 14:16: see Joel 3:16.

Thu, Nov 10, 2011
The sickle/sword here in Revelation 14:18-20 is also in Revelation 19:15 at the marriage supper of the Lamb and the great battle wherein Christ slays the wicked armies.

This is the great battle when daughter of Zion is redeemed and delivered and the invading army is all destroyed. See Revelation 19 and Ezekiel 39 also.

Revelation 15:2-4
2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.

3 And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.

4 Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.

Thu, Nov 10, 2011
After the marriage supper of the Lamb, the righteous that have been dead are resurrected and are shown to John. These are exalted, standing on the sea of glass (depicting heaven).

204I1-204I22: "I awoke early this morning and came on the grassy park at the center of the New Jerusalem. This was in the terrestrial realm, but I was in the celestial realm so as not to be seen by any passerby. I had meditated prior to my prayer, and felt here is where I should come. I prayed for my Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ and John the Beloved to come to me in this celestial location. I was on my knees, awaiting their arrival.

My Father, Jesus Christ, and John the Beloved then appeared before me! Heavenly Father spoke immediately: 'Raphael, I have brought with me today my Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, and his translated earthly son John the Beloved. They will speak to you this morning of the procedure that they will use in issuing callings to the 144,000.'

Jesus then spoke to me: 'Raphael, today my son John will issue a calling from me to each one of our servants I have chosen. These callings will be given in this manner: For those who reside on the island of the New Jerusalem, John has instructed the head prophet to cause the people to be divided up into their respective tribe, into twelve groups at noon today. John, my son, will then replicate himself twelve times and come among each group to direct them what to do.

He will ask those who have been previously called by him in their unconscious minds, even in the celestial world, who know they have been called, to step out from their tribe to a separate area in a single group of their own tribe. After our meeting with you this morning, John will issue these callings to every one of the 144,000 in the celestial realms, with their replicated celestial beings before this meeting at noon. In their mortal state, this will be in their unconscious mind. This is how each one will be separately called. John will receive their acceptance at that time from their celestial self. However, once they separate into their own group in their individual tribe of Israel, he will also receive their verbal confirmation of their acceptance. Once the 12,000 individuals are separated from their tribe, and he is assured these are the ones he has previously called in the celestial realm earlier today, he will ask for their verbal acceptance as a group. They will bow their heads and say "yes" in their own language. They will then be ready to be ordained by the five angels tomorrow, Wednesday September 8, 2021.

For those who are to be members of the 144,000 who are not living on the island of the New Jerusalem, here is how this is to be done: John will replicate himself to come before those whom I have chosen. They will mostly all be gathered to the area north of the New Jerusalem temple, between the golden north steps of the temple and the fountain of living water. The Father will bring them by his power in their replicated being to this location today, at noon on the New Jerusalem. John, my Beloved, will address the entire group and speak to them. He will inform them that they have been replicated in the celestial realm there, for him to issue a calling to each one to be members of the 144,000 servants. He will say they were spiritually called and ordained in the past, but that I desire that they also have this done in the flesh, even in their translated bodies. They will have been translated either previously or today to a terrestrial glory, and then quickened by me to come into this celestial realm for their calling.

John will then replicate himself a sufficient number of times to come before each one gathered at the New Jerusalem temple area. He will individually issue the call to them, and receive their acceptance. When done, he will address this entire group, and ask also for their verbal acceptance by them bowing their heads and saying "yes".

John will speak to them, saying that tomorrow on Wednesday, September 8, 2021, those who came here today will come again individually to the celestial realm in front of the New Jerusalem temple, and be ordained by one of the five angels holding the authority to ordain them. They will confer the Father's priesthood and ordain them a high priest if not previously done for the men. They will ordain them to the Mother's office of high priestess if not previously done for the women. Then they will ordain them to their high and holy calling, as members of the 144,000, to gather Israel to the New Jerusalem and cities of Zion.

Those who reside at the New Jerusalem will come tomorrow, during their 7:00 pm classes, and be ordained in this manner: You, Raphael, will be present and arise above the New Jerusalem island in the air, even in your celestial glory. You will be seen by all of the inhabitants on the island. John has already taught in the classes, as well as their teachers, that you, Raphael, will do this in your authority as our archangel of God.

When you arise in the sky to the location you met with your Heavenly Father (see your post 204F20, which occurred on 9-4-2021), you will raise your sword of Raphael above your head. With a loud voice then call forth the five angels of God. These will immediately come before you, and be seen by those on the island. Then command them to go forth and ordain the 144,000 called servants on this island. These 3 male angels and 2 female angels will then disperse below among the classes and ordain those who are translated and called to their important callings. When done, all the ordained will have received the Father's priesthood, or Mother's high priestess authority, as well as been set apart and ordained as one of the 144,000 servants.

At that time you will remain in the sky until all are individually ordained. This will only take a few minutes, for all will be ordained at the same time. At the conclusion of this grand event, the very celestial skies will open and numerous celestial beings will be seen, singing songs of praise to those on the island! This will be the same song of Moses, and the song of the Lamb, that John foresaw in Revelation 15:3-4-

"And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvelous are thy works, Lord God almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.
Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? For thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest."

After the heavenly choir is completed, the heavens will close and you will return to earth and become again your Raphael terrestrial being. This event will conclude the classes tomorrow evening.

At that time, all of the 144,000 will have been ordained, and be ready to go forth in my power. I will direct them starting the next morning to go forth and start to gather Israel, my elect from the nations of the earth.'

Jesus stopped speaking. Heavenly Father then spoke: 'Raphael, what your Great Redeemer has said will all occur today and tomorrow, September 7 and 8, 2021. By tomorrow evening, all of our 144,000 save a few outside of the New Jerusalem, will be ordained and translated. We will give them our power to replicate and move in the celestial and terrestrial realms on the earth, according to our commands and their intentions to follow our directions. This is a glorious time for all of us, and one of great rejoicing and happiness. Our elect will now be gathered home!'

John the Beloved then spoke: 'Raphael the past few days I have been teaching from the Book of Revelation to the teachers and also in their classes. I have taught of these events coming to them on their island.

This morning I was with you in the celestial realms at the northern steps of the New Jerusalem temple. I witnessed you laying your hands on the five angels of God, conferring upon them your authority from the keys you have been given in your commission, to gather Israel. These angels now have the Father's and Mother's authority and charge, through you, to ordain the 144,000 servants that I will call today.

This is a great day of joy in heaven! The great work of Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother is going forth boldly upon the earth!'

I bowed my head before my Father, his Son Jesus Christ, and John the Beloved. I thanked them for their messages, and said I would do my part in this great event in empowering the 144,000 servants.

My two Gods then rose up into the celestial sky, leaving John and I to talk. We watched as they both departed. John and I then walked on the grass to the east, talking over what had just occurred.

My vision then vanished, and I was back in my room writing all of this in my journal. I closed my prayer in the name of Jesus Christ.

I received this email from S on 9-8-2021 entitled "John the Beloved":

"R,

I wanted to share my experience from yesterday morning. I awoke at 5 am and read your entry from the previous day (Sep 6th) discussing John calling the 144,000 on Sep 7, 2020. I wanted to ask more about this in prayer.

9/7/2021 AM

This morning I reread Raphael's account about the 144,000 being called today September 7th and being set apart by angels tomorrow on September 8, 2021.

I called upon my Heavenly Parents. I came to their side on the north road along the river of the New Jerusalem island. We walked together along the road. Heavenly Mother spoke: 'Our laborers have worked nonstop Monday through Saturday during the daytime and have completed the west side river road and just recently completed this north road. They labor diligently knowing this will be a great service to their fellow man.'

Heavenly Father spoke: 'Drink of the living water from the river.' I drank from a cupped hand.

Heavenly Mother spoke: 'We have directed John the Beloved to come set you apart as a member of the 144,000 at this time.' John immediately appeared standing in front of my Heavenly Parents and directly in front of me.

John spoke to me: 'I am John the Beloved. I am the mortal son in the flesh of Jesus Christ. I have been commissioned of Jesus Christ under the direction and pleasure of our Heavenly Parents to call you, S in mortality and known as Gideon premortally, to be a member of the 144,000. You will be tasked with the rescue and service of God's elect in these final days until the return of Jesus Christ to the earth. Will you accept this calling?'

I spoke: 'Yes, I desire to serve my Heavenly Parents faithfully with my entire being.'

John continued: 'You will be set apart under the hand of a male angel under the direction of our Heavenly Parents.' John then disappeared.

I looked upon my Heavenly Parents. Heavenly Mother had a tear roll down her cheek. I understood that she was considering her many children who needed rescuing in these difficult days ahead. I felt their great love for me and all their children. This scene closed before me and I ended my prayer in Jesus' name.

On a different note, I read yesterday's post that this will be the last week that your entries will be typed up. A flood of emotion washed over me as I read and contemplated this news. I have deeply appreciated and treasured this opportunity, our friendship, and the truths I have learned during this process that have brought great joy to my life. My journey in prayer has been the greatest blessing of my life and filled me with wonder, awe, reverence, and deep joy. May God speed your travels and I look forward to our future reunion. I will await the time I may read your future posts in Zion.

With love,

S"

My email response back to S on 9-8-2021:

"S, this email is very confirming to me and has such a wonderful message! Thank you for sharing it with me. Today will conclude this very magnificent occasion when the 144,000 are ordained by the angels of God. I so look forward to seeing this all fulfilled!

Thank you for your very dedicated service in establishing Zion, and in working together! I so appreciate your help in typing up my sometimes very lengthy journal entries. I really have welcomed your shared journal accounts, confirming what I received and giving me new insights and new revelation. Thanks so much!

I too look forward to our future reunion at the New Jerusalem! I will continue to pray for you and your upcoming trek.

Love,

Revelation 16:8-9
8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.

9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.

106E2-106E3, 106E7: "Here is S's email: S's Personal Journal, 12-18-18

"As I awoke from a dream this morning, the word "egg" came to my mind. I read in the scriptures and searched for the word "egg". In Isaiah, it talks about the Assyrian ruler taking over the riches of the world and gathering "eggs" without a peep. This is found in 2 Nephi in the Isaiah chapters too. That is an interesting analogy where the mother bird that is normally sitting on the eggs is no longer there, and she does not peep or flutter her wings when someone comes to take the eggs. I thought of America losing it protection from God for a time because of unrighteousness.

In prayer, I felt a strong desire to go to the Tree of Life. It was very peaceful there. I was alone. I partook of the fruit and knelt to eat it. I felt great joy and peace. I stood and partook of a leaf. I felt it clear my mind. A portion went to my lower back on the right side to assist in healing. I was grateful for my mortal probation and my mortal weakness (I recently injured my back playing frisbee with my family and it was not healing as quickly as I hoped). I knelt on the ground, and called upon one or both of my Heavenly Parents. I heard Heavenly Mother speak to my mind, but I could not see Her. I waited and could see no one near. She spoke to me, "Last night you correctly saw and recorded the events that occurred at your sun. I did whisper a message to the sun. I whispered gratitude and love to the sun for his service to Our children and all Our creations. It has been true and faithful to Our directions for many eternities and I was pleased. You next correctly saw Myself gathered with Heavenly Father and the Savior next to the sun. We were orchestrating the events of the last days and the sun's coordination of some of these events. The sun will participate in helping Us prepare and gather the elect. It will also bring forth some of Our judgment on the wicked, where their tongues will be scorched and they will curse God and die. (Revelations 16: 8-9) Previously the scriptures state that the sun riseth on the righteous and the wicked, which was true. 3 Nephi 12: 45. The transition to the millennial day entails the destruction of the wicked while the righteous are preserved. The sun will be ready to participate in blessing the elect and fulfill Our judgments upon the wicked as We have planned and orchestrated from the beginning. That was why We were gathered near the sun last night when you saw Us." As this message ended, I was still alone, kneeling under the tree of life. I looked up and both my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother appeared standing in the air above my head. They were filled with light and love, joy beamed from Their countenance. Heavenly Mother spoke, "We were here the entire time, but withheld Ourselves from your view. We wanted you to hear Our message in your mind without seeing Us. We desire you to be very familiar with Our voice and recognize it when We speak to you throughout the day. You desired to know if the truths you have been reading and learning about are true. They are from Us and are true. Continue on the path you are on and We will bless you with greater light and truth. I humbly thanked my Heavenly Parents for Their love and message to me. I closed my prayer in Jesus' name.

Have a blessed day, S"

. . . Heavenly Father then spoke: 'Raphael, sometimes there are signs we give in heaven of happenings on earth. You have seen that the air here is hazy. We have made this haze as a sign of events that will soon unleash on the earth, that will fill your skies with smoke and vapors and obscure the skies with haze. These will be from natural calamities and the results of warfare and other manmade destructions. However, be not afraid, we will protect our elect who seek our guidance and protection. These destructive works are needed on the earth to cleanse the world from sin in preparation for a glorious millennial day ahead. We also are sending our angels to the sun, moon and the earth to give our messages to these, our orbs. We too have come ourselves to these, alerting them to their roles in the latter-day work we are directing."

Revelation 16:10-11
10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,

11 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.

Thu, Dec 1, 2011
The pains and sores on the seat of the beast. The beast has already been killed in America, but his seat spoken of is probably in Russia.

______________________________

Revelation 16:12-16
12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.

13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.

14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.

16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.

Thu, Dec 1, 2011
Waters are dried up, false spirits to gather the kings to Armageddon. These are probably Arab nations that gather against the state of Israel. The Lord uses the false spirits to gather all the wicked armies to Israel where He will destroy them. This is like he gathered the beast and his allies to America, surrounding His holy mountains, where He destroyed them at an earlier date.

______________________________

Revelation 16:17-21
17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.

18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.

19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.

20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.

21 And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.

Thu, Sep 22, 2016
Earthquake, fall of the nations at the final battle at Jerusalem and the Mount of Olives.

26C11-26C12: "Q- About Revelation 16:1 'And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.'
Whose voice is this?
A– It is Uriel's voice, the archangel.

Q– If the work of the destroying angels ends on 4-12-2017, and God's temple is now able to be accessed in heaven–then will the seven female archangels and I, Raphael, be able, AFTER this date, to go to the area of Jackson County, Missouri, and help begin the New Jerusalem?
A– Yes! Once the seventh angels pours his vial of plagues into the air (see Revelation 16:17 'And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.'), then Uriel's voice from the temple in heaven will say 'It is done'. Then is the time that work may commence on the New Jerusalem. Before this time, there are plagues upon the land. Once finished, however, and the plagues are proclaimed done, there will be a great earthquake (Revelation 16:18 'And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.'). This earthquake will open up the water vein to the New Jerusalem from deep in the earth, the same water that came to Cedar City, Utah. This is the water which you, Raphael, will bless to become the living waters to heal the people who drink of it, and also the earth of the devastation from the plagues which were poured out upon the nations.""

Revelation 17:1-6
1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:

2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.

3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:

5 And upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon the Great, the Mother of Harlots and Abominations of the Earth.

6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.

115D5-115D7, from Heavenly Mother: "I would like to address another topic now. You have read recently that President Russell M. Nelson has taken all of the twelve apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to Rome for the dedication of the LDS temple in that city. He said he did this because God has told him to do this. However, we have not told him, nor inspired him to go there. If it wasn't us, then who was it?'

I replied I believed it was the adversary, coming to him as if he were God.

'Raphael, you are correct. Satan has given to President Nelson that revelation, and not us, your Gods. The visit to Rome of the leaders of the LDS Church was to promote a plan initiated by Lucifer in which he will make Rome a center place for his dominion over the earth. Rome, which has seven hills, was spoken of by John the Revelator in Revelation 19:9 "The seven heads (of the beast) are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth." The woman is described in Revelation 17:3-6. She sits upon a scarlet colored beast, full of names of blasphemy, abominations and filthiness. The beast upon which she sits lives in the Vatican, a city within Rome, with where President Nelson visited during his recent trip. The beast and the false prophet are spoken of in Revelation 19:20. The false prophet is President Nelson. He will become very great in the eyes of many people and will wrought miracles to deceive the people. The beast is Pope Francis. These two have a friendship and alliance and will be controlled by Lucifer in deceiving and ultimately bringing away from Jesus Christ many people.'

I had been writing this even as my Heavenly Mother was speaking to me. I thanked her for this mystery. I asked her if I had recorded clearly that President Nelson was to become the false prophet and that Pope Francis was the beast, both spoken of by John the Revelator in the book of Revelation?

Heavenly Mother spoke to me: 'Raphael, what you have written is correct. There are alliances being formed, also connecting Babylon, the city of great commerce and wealth, even New York City, to the beast. As these prophecies become fulfilled, even in your day, you will come to understand them more clearly.'

I then knelt down and confirmed all I had received that it was from God and not my own imaginations. I had also recalled that President Nelson had stated in the KSL news, speaking of the Rome visit, "This is a hinge point in the history of the Church, things are going to move forward at an accelerated pace of which this is a part." (Here is what I wrote afterwards about this hinge point discussion–see marker 1:31 of this story from KSL. I also read a blog that I subscribe to where I copied this information from Hector Sosa Jr., Author of "A Change is Coming", that I thought would be interesting to you:

"As a former Catholic, this gathering in force in Rome was something to behold.

The most striking event, outside of the temple dedication, was that the Pope was alone when he met the General Authorities. There were no Cardinals. From a Catholic's point of view the message is one of capitulation. As a former Catholic and a current Latter-day Saint this event is one of passing the baton.

The Rome event is one of the ascension of The Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-day Saints on the world stage and one of waning for the Catholic Apostolic Roman Church. It seems to mark the start of the end of the Times of the Gentiles."

Also, another name for hinge point is a pivot point.)"

143B2-143B9, from Heavenly Mother: "'Raphael, we will see several scenes of events that will shortly come upon your land of America, now called the United States of America.'

I then saw people below me whom I knew were Americans. I saw corrupt government leaders among them who were conspiring against the people to bring about their one-world government, and overthrow the republic and the freedoms in the land. I saw that many big businesses and industries were in collusion with the government. They were all living in sin and were subject to Satan and his evil spirits. I saw that the scriptures call this situation modern Babylon.

I saw foreign powers in their own lands planning to invade and destroy the people and nation of the United States. I also saw great destructions in the way of natural disasters come upon America just prior to the arrival of the invading armies. I saw that Babylon also collapsed from within by overextended money systems. These events seemed to happen in fast succession. Upon the financial collapse in the country, I saw that the conspiring nations saw this as their opportunity to invade the land from the American east and west coasts. They moved quickly across the land once they landed, and those who resisted were destroyed. Soon all of the land was in their control.

I saw that this occupying force was called Assyria and her allies, for Heavenly Mother spoke to me: 'Raphael, the king of Assyria has been planning this attack on America for years. When he comes with his armies and those of allied nations, the words of Isaiah will be fulfilled:

Isaiah 13:4-11, 17-20–

"The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together: the Lord of hosts mustereth the host of the battle.

They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the Lord, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.

Howl ye; for the day of the Lord is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.

Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt:

And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames.

Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.

For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.

And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.

. . . Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which shall not regard silver; and as for gold, they shall not delight in it.

Their bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eye shall not spare children.

And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees' excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.

It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there."

Babylon, your current nation and society, will be destroyed. This is the same Babylon spoken of by John the revelator as the great whore in Revelation 17:1-6, and in Revelation 18:3-19.'

Revelation 17:1-6 (see above), Revelation 18:3-19"

See Revelation 8:8-9, under my post 158G1-158G12.

The destruction of the Whore of the earth is described in detail here. She had infiltrated every nation, has taken over their money supply (wine of her fornication) and bribed and forced the nations into doing her will

Thu, Sep 22, 2016
The description of the great whore: sits on a scarlet colored beast (red=communist Russia,described in Rev 13)

Names of blasphemy (reviling God in government and industry in a truly fascist state)

Arrayed in purple and scarlet, gold and precious things (very rich)

golden cup (money supply)

Abominations and filthiness (no regard for God or justice or goodness; Satan is the master of the Whore)

Drunken with blood of saints and martyrs (the wars have been created and funded by the Whore, at the expense of millions of lives)

Revelation 17:9-10
9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.

10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.

Sun, Apr 9, 2023
The whore is of the seven kingdoms that have ruled since the world began (she sits on them, and is of the world), the 7th is the beast who was wounded (deceiving the nations that communism is dead) but really wasn't.

Revelation 17:12-13
12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.

13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.

Sat, Jun 25, 2016
Ten horns are 10 European nations which are controlled by the beast (communist Russia) and these give all allegiance to the beast. Currently (June 25, 2016), those not on the EU are Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Turkey, United Kingdom. There are 28 countries that are members of the EU.

Revelation 17:16-17
16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.

17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.

Sun, Apr 9, 2023
The 10 European nations will so hate the whore (international bankers) that they will make her desolate and naked, and eat her flesh, and burn her with fire (nuclear bombs). This is really the Lord's will which they carry out

Revelation 17:18
18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

Revelation 18:2-19

88H5-88H7, quoted by Heavenly Father: "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.""

117E3-117E15, from R: "We truly live in a day of great pollutions all over the earth! We might legislate laws to limit these pollutions, but those conspiring organizations are able to buy their way out of prosecutions in many cases, and wiggle around the established laws. They have a host of lawyers who are able to promote their agendas of using their poisons in today's world, all for gain and control.

I feel blessed myself to live out in the country and to have sufficient money to buy organically grown foods and to get our water from a deep well that is yet not too contaminated. Our air here is usually free from toxic buildup I think too. However, the grocery stores are filled with sugar ladened foods, chock full of preservatives and chemicals that I can't even pronounce! When we eat at local restaurants, they use the same food source we see in the grocery stores. I think only the food labeled organically grown, or foods we grow ourselves in our organic gardens are still good. I know even the label "organically grown" may not be correct in some cases, being given that label that labeled by sloppy inspectors.

I know I sound like an alarmist. I have had my eyes opened last night I guess, by the words and sober looks of my own Heavenly Parents when they addressed me. I have felt the detrimental effects of these polluted foods on my own physical body. I become foggy-minded by certain foods today, and my body has increased inflammation from these toxins. I have wondered how to rid my own physical body of the pollutions I continue to ingest by what I eat, drink and breathe.

This morning I came to the little stream coming down the slopes to the city of Enoch. I was in a forest of birch trees, so beautiful with their white bark. Their leaves were green and freshly new it seemed. I drank living water from the stream and refreshed my replicated celestial body. I felt clear and receptive to any thoughts and words I might receive from my Heavenly Parents.

I asked for one or both of my Heavenly Parents to come. Heavenly Mother came in front of me, appearing suddenly in the air. She was bright and smiling. Her light was bright and immediately came into all of my being and passed through me. I felt very enlivened and happy.

Heavenly Mother then spoke: 'Raphael, you are not an alarmist in any negative way, but have written truthfully in your journal this morning. You and our children on earth live in difficult times due to the ever increasing evil on the earth and those poisons that the evil ones have conspired to bring forth to pollute the earth.

Our solution we shared with you last night, in shining forth my intense light of the Holy Ghost upon your earth from celestial realms above the earth, is the first step in cleansing the earth. My intense light is capable of clearing toxins and removing them from your soils, lands, foods, water sources and air. This light will also remove it in part from the physical bodies of our sons and daughters who live on the earth.

First we will send forth our light upon the earth. This is concentrated and intense light that ultimately comes from our first parent Gods to us, your Heavenly Parents. In my role as the Holy Ghost, I may shine forth this intense light upon the angels of God and have them shine this all over the earth, in great power and abundance. This is the first phase of our cleansing.

Secondly, when the living celestial water begins to come forth upon the land, now in a deep cavern in the earth below the Jackson County area, this living water will continue to cleanse and revitalize the earth. Everything will be cleansed and made strong and vibrant, even to a terrestrial level of vitality. Our living water will proceed from the New Jerusalem to all the earth, through all the waters.

Third, in the millennial day, there will no longer be sinister organizations that produce all of the great pollutions like there is in your current day. These will all be destroyed, including the conspiring men and women and supportive organizations and governments who have drunken of their wealth and lived deliciously at the hands of these wicked ones:

Revelations 18:3,5-7

"For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.

For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.

Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.

How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow."

Raphael, this great whore that sitteth upon many waters (Revelation 17:1) is the one who polluted the earth for her own gain and power and control, with whom all the nations and merchants of the earth have been accomplice in her crimes. (see Revelation chapters 17 and 18) Satan himself has built her up, she who is composed of secret societies and secret combinations, governed by conspiring men and women. We will destroy her completely, and all the wicked organizations, governments, societies, groups, religions, schools of higher education and systems and people who support this wicked whore of all the earth. Without her and her organizations, the earth will only need to be further cleansed, revitalized and nourished again, in order to bring forth her beauty and pure food, water and air for my people, my choice elect who will come forth upon her in the great millennial day.

We have chosen the intense light of the Holy Ghost, instead of the lesser intense light of Christ, to shine forth to start to heal the earth. The light of Christ already filters gently upon the earth, but is not sufficient to correct the effects of the great pollutions, nor eliminate much of the pollutions that are already on the earth.

Our fourth method to cleanse the earth has already been initiated by the blessing you gave to the earth at Utah Lake, August 20, 2016. The earth has been awakened herself to begin cleansing her surface of these pollutions. She is now transitioning from a telestial glory to a terrestrial glory. Your blessing was heralded by all the male archangels and was blessed by our very presence in the skies above our group of mortal angels. In your blessing you "blessed the animals to thrive, the plants, water to be purified, the oceans to be cleansed, the weather tempered to deliver the rains so that plants and animals would flourish. You blessed the soil to be enriched to feed the plants." (see post 23B)

I will be available to all my angels who sincerely seek me, to learn how to transfer my light of the Holy Ghost through their hands to the earth. This is our will at this time, for each of them to learn and then to do, even as we command them individually."

170C1-170C17: "I awoke after a good sleep and came again to the meadow by the fallen log. Heavenly Father appeared before me again as I knelt in prayer there. I thanked him for coming. I said I was sorry to have been interrupted last night, and that I wanted to continue hearing about the devouring fire if possible.

Heavenly Father spoke, 'Raphael, there are times when unexpected things or events happen. I will continue where I left off.

The devouring fire is not a nuclear bomb that causes widespread destruction of property and land and people. Instead your enemies want to depopulate the land so they may take over the land with minimum destruction. They are interested in destroying the people but not the infrastructure in the land, nor any green thing:

Revelation 9:4-5-

"And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.

And to them it was given that they should not kill them (those who have the seal of God in their foreheads), but they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as a torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man."

This will be an occupying foreign army who will destroy the people who oppose them, for they care not for the lives of their captors. The people in your country will die from the great calamities coming upon the land from the destruction caused by the Nibiru system, and not so much from the invading troops. The invading armies will masquerade as helpers to the people who will survive, for they will distribute food and will collect the many dead in the process of clearing the land from the destructions. We will preserve our elect through all of this destruction by our power, for they have the seal of God upon them and we have assigned to them our heavenly servants to protect and guide them.

At the same time as these destructions, the pandemic will continue to rage in the land. We will protect our elect by the Mother's corona fire that will destroy the virus before being able to lodge and take hold in their bodies.

The people in the land will mostly not have electric power, or use of computer systems or any cell phones or sensitive electronic equipment, for these will have been destroyed by the EMP. Some will have protected their own sensitive electronics by using faraday cages, electrical hardening devices, or other known means, but these will be few compared to the general population. Your land will suddenly be thrust back to days before electricity was introduced, or modern equipment and machines. This will destroy in your land the flow of commerce, which the great whore, even modern Babylon, used to thrive upon.

Then will be fulfilled the prophecies of John in Revelation 18 about the destruction of the whore, even modern day Babylon:

Revelation 18:2-3, 8-11

"And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.

For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies (this refers to the opulent lifestyle and goods that money has allowed to flourish, all which will be destroyed).

Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine (for the people will no more be able to buy their goods and services any longer, nor their food in the stores, for all this will cease because of the lack of electricity and the great destruction in the land. Many will starve and perish, for they did not prepare for this great day of want.); and she shall be utterly burned with fire: (burned with devouring fire that will stop all her commerce and activity, in one day) for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.

And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, (Raphael, there are those in your land who have gained their vast wealth off the commerce in your land, many of whom were conspirators against the people by creating secret systems to rob the people in the health industry, in education, and in other corrupt business practices across all industries aimed to bring them much personal gain and great power. There were others who were honest and hard working who are not in this category as the kings of the earth. These kings are not only in your land, but those across the world who are linked into the same corruption of modern Babylon in your land of America).

Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! (If there is one city that represents the corrupt commerce it is New York City, for Wall Street, the stock market, heads of corporations, and even the head of world trade is located there. This city is also heralded by the Statue of Liberty whose image was taken from the Pagan ancient queens from Greece and Rome and other corrupt ancient civilizations that promoted free sexual relations and prostitution, and other wicked practices. New York City is also the head of the United Nations that continues to be controlled by communist and socialist nations intent on spreading their practices and ideology to every nation.) for in one hour is thy judgment come. (The EMP blast will be over your entire nation and will topple modern Babylon immediately, making her systems no longer functioning. Also, Nibiru's destruction will be quick and devastating, burying several cities under the ocean and causing others to catch on fire from the meteorites, or being toppled by the strong earthquakes. These events will be sudden and quick.).

And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:" (see also the remainder of Revelation chapter 18. Comments in parenthesis by 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.)"

177J13-177J22: "Heavenly Mother spoke: 'Raphael, in every eternity from the beginning of our time as a couple God, we reached a point like you on your own earth when the righteous were at the cusp of a new terrestrial earth. This transition from a telestial to a terrestrial state is always chaotic, with the Satan of that eternity gathering up all his forces, and cleverly tricking and deceiving the people, leading many to the depths of hell.

In these times, our righteous have taken encouragement from the increased revelations, of us pouring out greater light and Spirit among the elect, and us leading them carefully to safety. Your Father and I know how to lead our elect, how to comfort and bless the faithful, and how to prepare them for the glories that are soon coming on the earth.

Raphael, do not sorrow for what in your telestial world will soon be replaced with the millennial world. Think not on the old that must fall, but instead dwell on the new and the beauties of Zion. Don't lament for the greatness of your country, for that is now a thing of the past, and we have judged the people of your land, for the greater part have rejected us, their Gods.

Those in the telestial world will soon cry for your country when she is destroyed. Instead, "Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets (these are referring to our righteous elect, and not the no longer apostles and prophets of the LDS church); for God hath avenged you on her." (Revelation 18:20; words in parenthesis from Heavenly Mother).

Read the words of John the Beloved, when he saw the fall of Babylon, the mother of harlots and abominations. This is even what will happen shortly in your own country that will also fall:

Revelation 18:2-9

"And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying: Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird (this is what will soon happen among the wicked in your land).

For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.

And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.

Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.

How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.

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.

And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning." (words in parentheses from Heavenly Mother).'

Heavenly Father then spoke: 'Raphael, there has been a certain amount of grieving you have experienced for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that we cut off. Now you will finish grieving for the loss of your own country, the United States of America. She has become corrupt and is now becoming the "habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird."

Once your grief is completed for your nation and the wicked inhabitants in your land, then turn your mind and heart fully to building up Zion, the pure in heart. The New Jerusalem and our Zion communities in the terrestrial realm will soon replace the wicked in this, the land of promise.'

I thanked my Heavenly Parents for their uplifting messages to me. I knew that my country was on its way out, regardless of who wins the presidential election. I know that the decrees of God will be fulfilled.

I asked my Heavenly Parents to help me settle the saddened emotions in my heart, and to think of Zion and the glories coming upon this promised land. I said I loved them for coming to me in prayer tonight."

The whore did sorceries, hidden manipulations, on all nations, deceiving all. Blood of prophets and saints are result primarily of wars whore funded.

In Revelation ch 19, the Lord shows that the whore is destroyed before the marriage supper of the Lamb and the great battle of the Lord (Armageddon)

______________________________

Revelation 19:7-9
7 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.

8 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.

9 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.

Thu, Dec 1, 2011
The wife is the daughter of Zion spoken of in Micah 4 who is delivered from the invading army. The fine linen might also refer to the general first resurrection of the righteous saints at this time. This is after the destruction of the whore and most of Babylon in America. The saints have become holy, dependent upon the Lord, and very righteous.

See also my notes in 146G10 and 146H7-146H35 in Matthew 22:1-10 for a explanation of the Marriage Supper of the Lamb and the Ten Virgins.

Thu, Dec 1, 2011
Christ will kill the invading army with fierceness and wrath. This is the same event when the angel reaps with a sickle in Rev 14:18-19. The rod of iron I believe is ruling by the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Revelation 19:17-18
17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;

18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.

19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.

Thu, Apr 18, 2024
Compare Ezekiel 39. This battle is called here the supper of the great God. Note that both birds (fowls that fly) and beasts are called to eat those slain by the Lord. In other scriptures beasts of the field are also invited to eat the slain of men and their beasts. Compare this verse with Revelation 6:15 when the opening of the 6th seal is described: Revelation 6:15 "And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains." This is the same event and time!

28B1-28B13: "Q– Concerning Revelation 19:17-21–

"And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;

That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.

And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.

And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh."

Q- Who is the angel in verse 17, who stands in the sun, that calls to the fouls 'Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God'? A– It is the archangel Simiel, the fifth archangel.

Q– What is this event all about? A– The supper of the great God is the final destruction of the wicked when they gather together to make war against the Lamb (see verse 19).

Q– Does this occur at the glorious second coming of Jesus Christ to the earth in his glory? A– Yes

Q– Does this happen in America, or in the Middle East, or where? A– This is a world-wide event–the destruction of the wicked "who fight against the Lamb, both bond and free, both small and great." (see JST Revelation 19:18).

Q– Who is on the white horse, and what event is this referring to in Revelation 19:11-15? Revelation 19:

"And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.

His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.

And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God."

A– This is Jesus Christ, when he comes again in the clouds of heaven with the faithful members of the church of the Firstborn all dressed in white linen, white and clean (verse 14), whereas Jesus wears a red garment, dipped in blood (verse 13). This is the same event also that is found in Ezekiel 39:17-20, upon the mountains of Israel, at the supper of the great God (see also the healing for Ezekiel 39).

Wed, Sep 28, 2011
Compare this verse with Rev 6:15 when the opening of the 6th seal is described: 6:15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains.

Revelation 19:20
20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

116D8-116D10, from Jesus Christ: "The shift towards following strictly the false prophet in the LDS church, even President Russell M. Nelson, will become more and more a theme in this church. The people at large will be like sheep that follow blindly their leader, who at first unknowingly follow Lucifer. President Nelson's voices and revelations he receives from Satan will be continued and sure to him and he at first will believe it is God who leads him. At a point he will realize that his master is Lucifer, but he will continue even at that point to receive his direction from Lucifer himself. He will then fully reject us, his true God, and become fully the false prophet that John my Beloved speaks about in the Book of Revelation (see Revelation 16:19, 19:20, and 20:10).'

Jesus Christ then reached out his right hand and placed it on my left shoulder. 'Raphael, the revelations that you continually receive are great and are from us, your Gods! We want each of those who read your words to fully question all that you write. They may confirm the truth of what we reveal to you by praying to the Father, in my name. We will then confirm to them the truth of your revelations by our words to them and by the Spirit, even the Holy Ghost who is our Heavenly Mother. For those of God's children whom I have elected into the Church of the Firstborn, or given them a promise of eternal life, they may pray to both Heavenly Father and/or Heavenly Mother in my name, as do you. We will reveal to them all and confirm to them all the truth that we have revealed to you.

By this means our elect may know that they are not being deceived by you or by any other man or woman, for we will directly confirm our words to them as they sincerely and openly come unto us, their Gods.'

I reached over with my right hand and touched Jesus' hand on my shoulder. I thanked him for his clear words to me today. I told him I so much was filled with enlightenment and truth that I felt come from him. I told him how much I loved him, and that I would always remember him as my Great Redeemer!"

Revelation 20:1-3
1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.

2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

3 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.

37G3-37G5, from Heavenly Father: "Last night, you have read a little about how deeply entrenched evil is in your land and the world. Satan worship, dark and evil acts, are practiced in abundance at this time in high places, and among people of power. However, Satan's influence and the chains of hell, will be broken and destroyed, in our due time, as we will, to accomplish our purposes in this mortal probationary state.

You asked last night, what you could do to eradicate evil from this world. We know this is your desire, and therefore have chosen you to remove Lucifer himself, and his evil hosts from this world, as spoken of by John in the book of Revelation (see Revelation 20:1-3). The wicked will also be removed, according to the parable of the wheat and tares. We will preserve our angels and our elect, so that the world you live in will be patterned after our righteous ways, and the example of our Beloved Son.

The work of our angels is critical in fulfillment of our plan to create a beautiful world again, as it was in the beginning of man. Share with the mortal angels these words, and our trust in their willingness to hear our voice and act as we direct. We do love them so very much.'

I then looked upon my Father. His eternity eyes were soft and compassionate. His words greatly comforted me. Again, I fully realized the best thing I could do was to act in loving ways to those around me, and to be in tune with God. This is my greatest desire."

87E12-87E13, from Heavenly Mother: "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.

You will then take hold of Lucifer and with all of his evil minions, and gather them into the bottomless pit. They will no longer be able to tempt mankind who will continue to dwell on the surface of the earth. This surface will be elevated to a terrestrial sphere, void of Satan and his devils. There will be no more telestial sphere on the earth's surface. You will lock Satan and his evil spirits in the bottomless pit for 1000 years, with the black key.

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."'"

Revelation 20:4-6
4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

9 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.

10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

Revelation 20:11-13
11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.

12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

125D4-125D15, from Jesus Christ: "‘Raphael, we had started a rescue effort for any of those fallen spirits since the time they were cast to the earth by the angels. Since that day, there have been those who became disillusioned with Lucifer and his sinister plans. They saw that he promised one thing but delivered only more entrapment and slavery for those who were his supporters. As these have prayed to the Father in my name, they have opened a way for their own personal rescue. I have been able to then accept them, dependent upon their humility and repentance. We have reserved a beautiful area back in heaven just north of the Great Assembly Hall, next to Lake Beautiful. Here I have brought these who have come to me and whom I have ransomed and forgiven. There have been some who came to me early on that have already been sufficiently trained and prepared for mortality and who have already come to earth. However, the vast numbers are yet to come forth. Those to whom you addressed yesterday will mostly come in the millennial day.

Raphael, these are wonderful spirits who have been once deceived by the evil one and who now have repented. Most are now the elect of God! The heavens rejoice at each one who chooses to come to me and to be saved from the grasp of Lucifer!

What you have written in your journal this morning is what actually happened. There will be more too who defect and become valiant supporters for the plan of our Heavenly Parents. Those who fully repent will be forgiven. They will then join their fellow spirits in the area we have reserved for them. We have resurrected righteous people who lived on the earth before my own resurrection to help and train them. This great schooling is required for all who come to earth for their mortal experience in the flesh.

We expect many more to defect and join their brothers and sisters before we command you to gather the rebellious who follow Lucifer into the bottomless pit for one thousand years. Once these are in this prison, we will not be able to rescue any until the time they are loosed again at the end of the millennium. Those who are rebellious to the end, at the great battle of our God (see Revelations 20:7-10) will be the ones who receive the awful fate reserved for Lucifer and his hosts!’

I thanked my Redeemer for his words and knew this was a choice group of now righteous men and women. I knew they were so happy to now fulfill and live the plan of happiness for themselves. What a great blessing for them!

Here is the scripture referred to by Jesus above:

Revelations 20:7-10–

“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.

And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.”

I then stood and turned to the path leading to the tree of life. I walked the straight and narrow path to the tree and plucked of the fruit and leaf of that tree. I then took these to the maple tree grove on the western shores of Lake Beautiful. I ate and was filled with peace and love, even to overflowing when I thought of these, my brothers and sisters, who had been and would be rescued from Lucifer’s grasp!

I knelt down and communed then with my Heavenly Parents who came to me. At that moment, my wife came into our bedroom and I ended my conscious prayer. I know that I continued speaking with my Gods, however, in that beautiful setting next to the lake.

This morning I returned again to the same location in my prayer at the maple tree grove. My Heavenly Parents came again. I love gazing into their faces, particularly looking with intention into their penetrating and yet loving eyes. Both Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother were smiling and pleased with me. This always makes my day since I take my cues more and more from them it seems. I just basked in their loving presence! Heavenly Mother then spoke to me:

‘Raphael, we are pleased with the words you gave to our group of ransomed children yesterday in the Great Assembly Hall. You received our inspiration as you acted in faith in coming to the podium, not knowing beforehand what you were even doing there! This same dependence upon God, upon our direction at the moment will be required and necessary for you and all our holy angels in the days ahead. We will lead you, all of you, into situations like this where your inspiration will not be pre-meditated, but will be revelatory at the moment required. Trust in this flow of inspiration and all will be well with what you do. We will never mislead you!

I spoke to our ransomed children yesterday before you addressed them in the assembly hall. I spoke to them about our great love and acceptance for them. I said that their choices had taken them to a very difficult journey, and that now they had corrected their course towards eternal life. I told them to pray for those who were still in the grasp of evil under Lucifer’s powerful grip. I asked them to look to our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, who was our Firstborn, chosen from the beginning. I said they could also be valiant servants of Jesus Christ in rescuing and blessing others.

At that time of my address, your Heavenly Father brought you to the stand where you sat down. I introduced you as our archangel of these last days. You fulfilled your assignment wonderfully our son! We were so very pleased to bless these rescued souls with our light and love, acting through our holy healing angels that you assembled. This blessing greatly lifted these choice spirit children!’

I then stood and embraced my Heavenly Mother! I felt her deep love for these rescued children! What a beautiful communion I had with her and my Heavenly Father this day!”"

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.

Revelation 21:1-3
1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

114C10-114C11, from Heavenly Mother: "The final destiny of Lucifer and his hosts will be done after the last of God's children are resurrected to a celestial, terrestrial and telestial glory. This final destiny of those devils who still persist to deny that their Gods are their own literal parents in the spirit, will be done by Heavenly Father and me ourselves. These will be taken to the original locations where we chose their intelligence. They will then be stripped of their spirit so that their core intelligence will be left in that original location. They will then migrate to their final destiny "where their worm dieth not, and their fire is not quenched, which is their torment". (see D&C 76:44-48)

Once Satan and his hosts are removed from the bottomless pit in the depths of the earth and all of God's children, animals and plants are all resurrected, then will the earth die and be consumed by fire. It will then resurrect to a celestial glory, by the power of God and become the abode for the celestial. The New Jerusalem, the city of God, will come forth and there will be "a new heaven and a new earth" (Revelation 21:1-2). The new heaven refers to the spheres on the earth, for the old telestial and terrestrial spheres on the earth will be consumed in the fire and death of the earth and will be replaced by a celestial realm on the earth, which is the new heaven.'"

138I9-138I15, from Heavenly Father, speaking of the New Jerusalem temple: "The temple will endure forever and remain of celestial physical materials at all times during its construction. It will also be resurrected at the end of the millennium, along with your earth. Nothing else built by man will endure when the earth dies except this celestial temple. It will remain the same for our faithful couple gods who inherit the earth to visit and remember it was where their binding eternal ordinances were performed in the great millennial day.

On the resurrected celestial earth the remainder of the holy New Jerusalem city that will be built around the New Jerusalem temple will be all-celestial. It will be constructed on the celestial earth by those who inherit the earth and receive their eternal first inheritances there as couple gods. They will all participate in some way in helping build the celestial city seen by John the Revelator.

Revelation 21:1-3

"And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the 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.

And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God." (see also Revelation 21:9-21; 22:1-5)

John was not shown the temple of the New Jerusalem, for that was first shown to you, Raphael, since you are the one appointed to build this temple. John recorded this in Revelation 21:22.

Revelation 21:22

"And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it."

We withheld the vision of the resurrected New Jerusalem temple from John during his vision.

our Heavenly Mother and I will create for everyone of our faithful couple gods their first eternal lands of their own inheritance on our resurrected earth. This will be one of their great gifts we give to those who are celestial couple gods in eternity. We will select the land and adorn it with a mansion and a beautiful estate. This is where they each will be finally ordained as gods in eternity by their loving Heavenly Mother and Heavenly Father. Oh, what a glorious day this will be!'"

189E21-189E25, from Heavenly Mother: "Raphael, when you first come here to this flooded area of the future New Jerusalem, you will have a determination to fulfill our plan to create this island and the New Jerusalem temple. You will do exactly in the physical that you already have done in the spirit (see your posts 172 and 173). This will give you exceedingly great satisfaction to witness these creative events being fulfilled. This will bring you great joy to participate in this plan we have for building the New Jerusalem temple on the celestial realm of the earth, and the surrounding terrestrial island of the New Jerusalem. You will reflect on this accomplishment all throughout the millennium, which reflection will continue to fill you with happy memories.

All the riches of man will perish on the earth, when there will be a new heaven and a new earth (Revelation 21:1), except for our celestial temple. This structure will already be celestial, and will not be consumed when the earth shall pass away. This temple will stand as a memorial for our exalted children forever.

Revelation 21:2

"And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem (the temple of the New Jerusalem in its midst), coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband." (words in parentheses from Heavenly Mother).'

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her teachings on riches and on the sense of accomplishment I will have with others in constructing the New Jerusalem. I told her I looked forward to all these events, even soon to happen on the earth. I told her I was so happy to meet with her tonight on the celestial grounds of the New Jerusalem temple.

My vision closed, and I ended my prayer."

Revelation 21:5-6
5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.

92C12-92C13, from Heavenly Father: "Raphael, I want to share with you about water, air and the earth. I will begin with water. Water is an entity with intelligence. It is in a resurrected celestial state in our heavenly orb. In this state, it may reproduce either spirit water or physical water, in either a celestial or terrestrial state of glory. In the celestial and terrestrial mortal states, our physical water is living water. It is very healing and is capable of blessing and strengthening all our creations where it comes in contact with, keeping them vital and strong!

In the terrestrial mortal state, the water that comes from the New Jerusalem from the celestial fountain of living water, is living water. It flows out into the terrestrial world and maintains most of its living water qualities to the end of the earth. However, in the terrestrial eternal worlds, where there is no fountain of living water, there is no living water.

In the telestial state, the water is not living water but is still necessary for the well-being and life of all the living entities in that telestial world. The celestial spirit water is also living water, but is more refined than the resurrected physical celestial water. The highest form of water is in its glorified physical resurrected state in our celestial world."

See my post dated April 16, 2024 in Genesis 49:26. I received a promise that my ___ acres of land would transition to terrestrial land, and the water to terrestrial water. This occurred on April 21, 2024.

94D4-94D11, from Heavenly Mother: "Tonight I wish to speak to you about the way that living water affects our children, our plants and animals. This living water comes from the fountain of living water, whether in our celestial orb or on the earth in its terrestrial millennial state.

The fountain of living water in the millennial day on earth will come forth on the celestial section of the earth in the New Jerusalem area, and also from a terrestrial fountain in the Jerusalem of old. The water from both of these sources or fountains will come from cavities under the earth where the celestial living water resides. The living water cavity, under the future New Jerusalem area, has already been activated by our holy angels. These celestial living waters will come under pressure to the fountain of living water once this area is clear of the telestial inhabitants on its surface.

There is a similar deep cavern under the Jerusalem of old. This too will one day be converted into celestial living water by our angels. It will be propagated by similar means by pouring into the deep water cavern celestial living water from our celestial world. This will happen after the second coming of Jesus Christ, after the great earthquake in the area of the Jerusalem of old.

Once both of the fountains of living water are flowing forth celestial living water from these deep caverns in the earth, this water will start to heal the earth. It will flow out from the two world centers to completely fill all water on the face of the new earth. Where it does not reach, living water may be transported to these areas to have the same healing effect.

Celestial living water is capable of making similar living water from telestial water on the earth. This is done by pouring in celestial living water into the body of telestial water. When done on the surface of the earth, this water becomes terrestrial living water with many of the same healing properties as celestial living water. These two caverns of living water then bring forth celestial water, which becomes terrestrial living water soon after it exits from the fountain of living water.

The healing effects of living water, whether celestial or terrestrial living water, is similar for our own children, plants and the animals. These, our creations, function more coherently in their body and spirit and are elevated by this water into a terrestrial state. The earth itself is enhanced and changed into a terrestrial state by this water. This living water on its surface in rivers and lakes, the living water in oceans, and the living water in all weather on the earth, like rain, snow, mists of water, greatly affects our creations. These sources of living water will soon completely bathe the earth's surface–all lands, plants, and the earth's inhabitants. Soon our entire creations will ingest the living water, for all plant and animal creations need water. Our own children are also largely composed of water. This water will enhance and enliven our children by any portion of the living water that comes in contact with them. This too will gradually transform their bodies into terrestrial beings, with all the blessings and capabilities of elevated and more glory-filled children!

The air that all our creations use in their normal life will also change into a millennial terrestrial state. The rain, water mist, evaporation of the water–all from living terrestrial water, will also initiate a terrestrial change in the air. As our creatures and our own children breathe in this changing terrestrial air, their bodies will quicken faster into a terrestrial state.

Lastly, when our animals and children eat plants that are changed or are changing into their terrestrial state of glory, they will also further enhance their own change to a terrestrial state. As you can see, all our creations will change as they live and exist together. The living water that will spread over all the earth will change all!

Raphael, you have given a blessing, with the holy angels, to the earth to start making the change to its terrestrial state. It all started at Utah Lake on August 20, 2016 (see post 23 B). Soon after that, you and the holy angels came and blessed the waters in the earth with celestial water (see post 49 on April 23, 2017). These changes will continue to occur in the earth until her full transformation, early in her millennial state!'"

March 20, 2024: It has now been nearly seven years since the angels brought pails of celestial living water from the celestial orb to the underground cavern in the Jackson County area. The terrestrial living water has been flowing in the New Jerusalem area since May 24, 2021 (see 195F7-195F8). This has been nearly three years.

I prayed this morning to my Father this question: "How long will it be before the well water in my Utah area will be changed to living terrestrial water, once I return from the clouds of heaven back to my farm in Utah? And how long will it be before the rains fall with terrestrial living water on my property?" I believe that the water here will remain telestial water until the millennium begins, and I return from the clouds of heaven with my wife and whoever of my family are caught up in the clouds of heaven.

Heavenly Father then spoke to my mind these words: "Raphael, this is your Heavenly Father, and I will answer your questions today.

The terrestrial mortal earth now has had nearly three years for the terrestrial living water to propagate across her surface to the land, rivers, sea east, and all bodies of water on her surface. Over this time until today, all of these bodies of water are now terrestrial living water. There has been rain and winds across the terrestrial earth's surface that has carried this living water to all of the far reaches of your terrestrial mortal planet. These last nearly three years have been the first time since the fall of man that rain and clouds have come upon the terrestrial earth.

The terrestrial living water has seeped down into the aquifirs of the earth as well, making all of the water under the earth's surface also terrestrial living water.

You are correct that your well water is still bringing forth telestial water from the aquifir under your property in Utah. This will remain until you return from the glorious second coming of our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, to the earth. You are also correct that your entire ___ acres will be preserved in a new, terrestrial state, along with all of your belongings on your property, after the second coming.

Once you return to your Utah property from the clouds of heaven, your well will start bringing up terrestrial living water, for it will then be connected to the terrestrial aquifir under your ground. Your property, and those properties of my elect, who will have been caught up in the clouds of heaven, will all transition immediately to become fully integrated with the terrestrial earth. All of the earth will immediately be only terrestrial, for the telestial earth will have been consumed by the glory of Jesus Christ. The full transformation of the earth to her terrestrial state will be completed once Jesus Christ comes again to the earth from the skies.

You will then be able to water your garden, orchard and berry patch from your terrestrial living well water. Terrestrial living rain will also fall and water your lands. The effect of this living water on your produce will be very noticeable, for your vegetables, fruits and berries will be very large, vibrant and full of strength, even tenfold greater than previously! When you eat of them, and drink of the living water, your health will dramatically increase also. Your telestial weaknesses of the flesh will shift to vitality and strength. Illness will largely be a thing of the past world. Your joys will be great in your new terrestrial millennial mortal earth!"

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his amazing revelation to me today! I feel so much joy and anticipation of this glorious change coming to the earth and to my own property!

103I4-103I12: "Heavenly Father spoke next:

'Raphael, our son, we are from eternity to eternity and our words are one eternal round. We want to share with you our great mysteries, yet we are held back only by your ability to receive. We have no restrictions on ourselves, of what we may reveal to you.

I will now address the first of your
three questions this morning: John the revelator saw the death of the earth and then its resurrection to a celestial glory. It would come forth as a new earth and be taken into the bosom of God, even of your Heavenly Mother and I, near unto this celestial orb on which you now kneel.

John saw that the New Jerusalem would be taken up into the sky before the earth would die. After it was resurrected, he wrote the following:

Revelation 21:5-6 (Heavenly Father's words in parenthesis)
"And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, write; for these words are true and faithful (this was me speaking to our servant John).

And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. (This is another name of God, for we are from eternity to eternity). I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely (this is another name for our eternal fountain of living waters that your Heavenly Mother told you about last night)."

John then was shown a great and high mountain on the newly resurrected celestial earth. This mountain is a real mountain, which far exceeds those now found on your earth. It will tower over all the other lands on the earth.

Then John saw the New Jerusalem that had been taken up into heaven while the earth died and was resurrected. He saw that the New Jerusalem temple square area, that which was celestial on the earth, had been added upon while waiting for the resurrection of the earth. There were other buildings and walls, each wall adorned with names, gates and precious stones. This newly refurbished celestial city and the same glorious celestial temple that was used during the entire millennium by you and our holy angels in the Church of the Firstborn, now descended next to the exceedingly high mountain on the resurrected earth. There was a level place for this city prepared so that the newly enhanced New Jerusalem city could be placed securely on the new earth. John saw the celestial city, even the New Jerusalem, descend into its new place next to the exceedingly high mountain. After in place, the new city dwarfed the high mountain next to it.

John was given a golden reed to measure the city, and he accurately measured the city as is recorded in Revelation 21:15-17. John was very taken by the beauty of the city and its grandeur. The height, length and breadth of the city are equal, a little under 1500 miles each as S (Gideon, his pre-mortal name) has written you. There is no city, even on our celestial orb, with such height as this celestial city that will permanently come to your earth in its glory!

We have created this new heaven and new earth (these are one and the same, for the new heaven is the resurrected celestial earth with its celestial city, newly added to, next to the high mountain). We will then divide up the remainder of your earth into inheritances for our faithful elect who are exalted as couple Gods. They will all be able to meet and commune together in the large and glorious city of the New Jerusalem.

Raphael, we have also a glorious city like unto this New Jerusalem on our own resurrected celestial earth. We have been given by our own Heavenly Parents an inheritance on this, our own earth. We too may visit and commune with others of our own generation who are exalted in that glorious city. This practice of establishing such a glorious city on the resurrected celestial earth is common to every earth of our creations. We will embellish your earth like those of previous earths in this same manner. We do this, for your earth is the habitation of the Gods, where they are first given their inheritance, and where they may mingle and commune together, worlds without end.

On the other hand, our own celestial orb is used for each eternity for the abode of our many children that come and go in the process of becoming who they will one day be. However, on your future resurrected earth, the habitation in the New Jerusalem is only for the Gods, and not their progressing children. The city serves as another reward from us, your parent Gods, for the faithful who have become even as we are, Gods themselves. It stands as a monument to the faithful children throughout all eternity.'

I thanked my Heavenly Father for this amazing revelation on the future state of our earth and of the New Jerusalem! I am so grateful that S asked the question!"

Revelation 21:10-22
10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,

11 Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;

12 And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:

13 On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.

14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

15 And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.

16 And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.

17 And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.

18 And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.

19 And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;

20 The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.

21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.

22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.

112C16-112C19: "I came to the desert oasis again this evening. I drank from living water and then knelt by the shore and asked for my Heavenly Parents to come. My Heavenly Father came again to me in prayer tonight, this time on the water next to the shore. I asked him for greater clarification on how this highest realm of the celestial glory works and to help me clear up my questions.

Heavenly Father then spoke: 'Raphael, the highest realm is reserved for the Gods to dwell in. This realm is superimposed upon the celestial realm and also upon every other telestial and terrestrial realm. This is done so that we who are gods may freely come and go in those other lower realms without being detected. When we are among those of the celestial glory, we are among all the plants, animals, and buildings in that realm. We are also among our children dwelling there. We may or may not show ourselves to them, for we are in a higher celestial realm than they are in. If we show ourselves to them, then we come into their realm. For us, our surroundings where we are in are the same as theirs, whether they see us or not.

Our highest celestial realm has no plants, buildings, soil, atmosphere, water, etc. Its purpose is to allow us to be undetected, or hidden from those of a lower sphere. Since our highest level is superimposed on this celestial realm, we have all the glory and blessings of the celestial realm always around us. Our highest celestial realm is also superimposed directly on every other lower realm. This allows us free access to all our creations in every level or sphere of our creations.

Yesterday evening, we brought you from our celestial realm where you were at the fountain of living waters, up into our highest celestial realm. We did this so you could see the difference of this realm, which we showed you was above the celestial realm. However, this higher realm, in reality, comes down on top of the celestial realm and is superimposed on the celestial realm. This is where it is normally located. However, you would not have been able to distinguish the difference of the highest celestial realm from the main celestial realm had we not separated these realms.

On the resurrected celestial earth, when it becomes a celestial abode for all of the couple gods who dwell there, there will not be a need to distinguish between the celestial realm and the highest celestial realm. This is because all who dwell there are gods. In the celestial city, as seen by John the Revelator (Revelation 21:10 to 22:21) all those in that city are exalted individuals and may be in the highest celestial realm. If these couple gods begin their families on their own lands of their inheritances, they will have a higher celestial realm for that couple God and a celestial realm for their children to dwell in.'"

Revelation 22:2
2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

110D19-110D28, from Heavenly Father: "Does the tree of life have 12 different kinds of fruit? Revelation 22:2 "In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations." (speaking of the holy city, the New Jerusalem)." Later–This is a question that I don't know the answer to and I am hoping our Heavenly Parents will answer tonight!

I came to the grassy area just south of the white gate. I was impressed to kneel on the grass, which extended to my left and right. I knelt and asked for one or both of my Heavenly Parents to come to me. I waited. To my left I saw a movement and saw my Heavenly Father signaling for me to arise and walk to him! He was next to a hedge of bushes and some taller trees. I stood and walked up to him. He was smiling and seemed eager to talk with me. He asked me in my thoughts to remain standing.

Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, I have asked you to come near these trees next to these bushes. They are two trees of the knowledge of good and evil. These trees are male and female so that they may produce fruit for our use. We planted the fruit of this tree in the terrestrial Garden of Eden on your earth once Adam and Eve were adults. They still lived with us in that paradisiacal state. When the fruit grew up to a tree, it was a fruiting tree, a female tree. We hand pollinated the blossoms from the male tree in our celestial world, that you see before you on the right (he pointed to that tree). The blossoms on the tree of knowledge of good and evil on earth became beautiful fruits on that tree. It was at that point that I introduced Adam and Eve to that tree, with my charge not to eat of the fruit lest they would surely die. Once they were deceived by Lucifer, they both ate of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. The fruit started a change in their immortal bodies, as you have correctly answered to your sister's question

I came again to visit Adam and Eve along with your Heavenly Mother and Jesus Christ. I asked Adam and Eve if they had eaten of the fruit of that tree. They both admitted that they did eat. I then asked our Beloved Son then to protect the tree of life from Adam and Eve, lest they again eat of that fruit and live forever in their sins. Adam and Eve had physical bodies of flesh and bones, which were now changing to mortal bodies due to partaking of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. They also began perceiving that the serpent really was possessed by Lucifer who lied to them, tricking them to eat. Eve was the first to partake and came to an awareness of the designs of the evil one. She also began to be enlightened by the Holy Ghost, your Heavenly Mother, that now that she had partaken, she would be cast out of the Garden of Eden, and Adam would be left alone as man in the garden. They would be forever separated. Heavenly Mother reasoned with her daughter to convince Adam to partake so that they could together bring forth the children of men and women on the earth, to experience mortality in a fallen world.

Eve convinced Adam, who had not yet been enlightened by the actions of the fruit. Once he ate, he and Eve realized too that they were naked, which they had never before realized. They hid when we came walking through our garden in the cool of the day (Genesis 3:8). I knew then, besides my gift of seeing all things, that they had both partaken of the fruit of the tree that I had commanded them not to eat. I had no choice but to drive them forth into the lone and dreary world outside of their terrestrial garden home. The outside world was telestial in nature.'

I thanked my Heavenly Father for showing me these two trees of the knowledge of good and evil. He said that if I ate of the fruit, now that I had been redeemed and brought again into his presence, it would have no detrimental effect on me. I asked if I could partake, and Heavenly Father reached out to the female tree, plucked a fruit and gave it to me. I ate, and it tasted sweet and very clarifying to my mind. The effects were like drinking of living water, but had substance and was sweeter. I ate the fruit to the pit. I then asked if I should plant the pit next to the other two trees.

Heavenly Father responded: 'Raphael, plant the pit of the fruit you have eaten where you are standing on the grass.' I planted the pit of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil in the grass. I easily dug a little hole in the grass with my hand. I covered it up and stood again before my Heavenly Father.

'Raphael, the pit you planted will become a new female tree of knowledge of good and evil. I will have you transplant this future sapling tree, with other people that you choose to help you, to your celestial earth. This will be during the time that we divide the earth into inheritances for the faithful couple Gods. The tree that you will plant will be the sapling tree of knowledge of good and evil. It will have twelve manners of fruits, which yield their fruit every month, and her leaves are for the healing of the nations. This was spoken by John the revelator in Revelation 22:2. The current version reads that this will be the tree of life, but it was mistakenly written in your Bible. It should read the tree of knowledge of good and evil. That tree will remain on the celestial earth forever, as a memorial to the celestial Gods who live there and who frequent there. The memorial will be that this fruit is what initiated the past mortal journey of their first parents, Adam and Eve.'

I was amazed at this revelation from my Father! I felt so blessed to have been here with him tonight and to have learned first hand the wonderful story of these beautiful trees. I am so pleased to have partaken of one of its fruits, and to have planted that pit where I was standing. I felt so privileged to one day in the future be able to transplant this sapling tree to the new celestial earth where we will have our inheritance.

I thanked my Heavenly Father for being with me tonight and for what he shared with me! He smiled and I came immediately into my mortal body, writing all of this down."

110E1, 110E3-110E4: "I thought more about the tree of knowledge of good and evil. It must be a very slow growing tree if I just planted the seed and at the end of the millennium, when I and others will transplant it to the resurrected celestial earth, it is still called a sapling. I believe it will not yet have born fruit by that time. Maybe God will delay the seed from growing until years into the future?

. . . I came this morning to the entry room through the front doors of God's temple. I came to the east side by a spruce tree next to the little channeled stream of living water. I knelt on the floor next to this tree and stream, facing so I could see the temple doors. I drank some living water and felt clarified in my mind. I then asked for my Heavenly Parents to come. Heavenly Mother appeared before me, next to the spruce tree there! She was radiant and loving, for I could feel her love I received from her in her light that shone upon me!

'Raphael, I wish to answer all of the questions you and your sister Rachael have. First, about the seed you planted last night. We will keep it dormant until Satan is loosed for a little season upon the earth, at the end of the millennium. By the time the earth is resurrected in its glory, and there is a new heaven and a new earth, this seed will have grown into a sapling tree about 5 to 6 inches in diameter, and will soon after that be ready to blossom and fruit. After you transplant it, you will be able to hand pollinate the blossoms from the male tree of knowledge of good and evil that you saw last night with your Heavenly Father. The tree is a slow growing tree that, in its glory in the celestial world, produces new fruit every month from the one yearly pollination that you will continue to do in eternity. This action of a yearly hand pollination will link these two worlds together forever, a remembrance of the origin of this tree of knowledge of good and evil."

January 23, 2024: In prayer with my Heavenly Father, he asked that I write his words:

"Raphael, once Adam and Eve were cast out of the Garden of Eden into the lone and dreary world, the tree of life and the tree of knowledge of good of evil remained behind in the garden. I asked my angels to transplant these two celestial trees back to an area near my holy temple on the celestial orb.

The tree of life brought from the Garden of Eden was later transplanted to the area east of Lake Beautiful with the people of Enoch for their use. This tree has since been also transplanted to the New Jerusalem area on the celestial portion of that area, east of the fountain of living water. The tree of life on the west side of the fountain was the sapling tree of life that you had seen under our original tree of life at the end of the straight and narrow path, was also later brought by the angels to New Jerusalem.

The tree of knowledge of good and evil that had been transplanted on our celestial orb still remains near our temple, amongst the other trees north of our temple. This tree has flowered since but we have not hand pollinated it from our male tree of knowledge of good of evil. The blossoms are beautiful and very fragrant. The other trees of this same forest are also trees of knowledge of good and evil, removed from earths of previous eternities during their Adam and Eve phase. We now have a very large forest of these same varieties of trees north of our temple. This forest is between our temple to the south and the river representing Jesus Christ to the north. These trees are now all in full bloom. We may ask them to bloom when we will. Your Heavenly Mother will now join us as we stroll through these very fragrant trees of knowledge of good and evil!"

Heavenly Mother then appeared, smiling very broadly. She took my left hand, and Heavenly Father my right, and we began to walk to the forest. We started at the grassy area in front of the female and male trees of knowledge of good and evil. We traveled east along the grassy area, with bushes on our right. Then we turned into a path through these bushes into a vast forested area. As we entered, the forest seemed to expand, and I could see from our vista many rolling hills for as far as I could see, of these trees of knowledge of good and evil! I knew that each tree had been transplanted there from previous earths.

As we walked into the forest, the fragrance from the blossoms of these trees filled me with such peace and assurance in my Gods next to me, and their beautiful plans for their children! I asked my Heavenly Parents where the tree of knowledge of good and evil that had been in our own Garden of Eden was located? They both looked to a beautiful tree immediately before us, and Heavenly Mother spoke: 'Raphael, this is the tree that Eve and then Adam partook of on your earth! This female tree has since joined all of these other female blossoming trees in this vast forest, and will remain here for eternity! This is a favorite place for your Heavenly Father and I to come and stroll through together! We feel such peace here, and assurance in the great plan of salvation that we have extended to our children."

I then let go of their hands and came up to this beautiful tree of knowledge of good and evil. I touched its trunk, now about 12 inches in diameter, and one of its main branches. I also smelled one of its pink blossoms. The tree had many blossoms of different pastel colors. I thought that if pollinated, each blossom color would produce a different fruit, one for every month of the year, for the healing of the nations.

Heavenly Father then spoke: 'Raphael, you have correctly thought that these blossoms would produce different fruits, one new set of fruits for every month for each blossom of the same color. The fruited seed that you have planted in the grass in front of our female and male trees will become a female tree of knowledge of good and evil on your own Celestial Earth. You will pollinate this tree yearly, according to our celestial time, which will be at the beginning of each eternity, from our own male tree. It will produce a new fruit every celestial month during that current eternity, as shown to John the Revelator in Revelation 22:2 -"In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the (should read "tree of knowledge of good and evil"), which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations." '

Heavenly Mother then said that I could come to this newly revealed forest whenever I yearned for peace and assurance. She said that I should follow the same path into this forest when I would come, and it would expand from a narrow set of trees that I have previously seen into this vast forest of millions and millions of trees of knowledge of good and evil. She said that I would know how to come to this same tree of knowledge of good and evil that has been on my own mother earth.

I thanked both of my Heavenly Parents for this beautiful experience with them today! I felt so assured that this vision was all true, for I feel great peace and clarity of mind.

My vision then closed, and I was typing this on my computer in my morning scripture study. I reread this entry and placed this in my note in my scripture app in Revelation 22:2.

See my note in Abraham 3:4.

January 25, 2024 In my morning scripture study: I had the impression that the pastel flowers of 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 and looks different, as do our fruits on earth taste different, and are different shapes, textures and sizes. The twelve fruits also each enhance various attributes of peace and faith (assurance). As couple Gods chew together the leaf of this tree, and all of its twelve fruits are eaten, with the intention to receive the spiritual measure or manner from 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.

August 23, 2024: I just finished learning about Nephilim, or the giants on the earth prior to the great flood (see my notes in Genesis 6:4). This all came about because the fallen angels (the watchers) partook of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil before that tree was transported away from the garden of Eden to the celestial orb.

I next wondered about the unique properties of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. I also wondered about its very unique name.

Tonight I approached my Heavenly Mother about these things relating to the tree of knowledge of good and evil. I prayed sincerely, with an open heart and mind, with Heavenly Mother before me. When done with my request, Heavenly Mother asked that I write her words:

"Raphael, I am very glad to enlighten your mind about the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

You have recently taken a stroll with your Heavenly Father and me through the forest of trees of knowledge of good and evil (see your entry above dated January 23, 2024). Each of the trees in this great forest were the original tree of knowledge of good and evil from each of our eternities that your Heavenly Father and I have experienced. I also showed you the tree of knowledge of good and evil from your own eternity in that vast forest.

The very first progenitor tree of knowledge of good and evil was created by our first parent Gods, in the beginning. They also created at that same time the tree of life. We have previously given you the history from the beginning of the tree of life, and how it is propigated to all the parent Gods in their own domains. Its purpose is to shed forth the love and healing of God to all creations.

The first tree of knowledge of good and evil was also created in the beginning. It's multiple purposes are described below:

1) For those in a garden of Eden: if the first parents for an eternity partook of this fruit, there would be a change in their bodies from living forever in a suspended eternal state, to a mortal fallen state. This would introduce the seeds of death into their bodies.

2) For those servants in their celestial spirit state, with evil intentions (like the evil "watcher" angels, see your notes in Genesis 6:4, or like Lucifer and his hosts before their expulsion from heaven), when they partake of the fruit they are changed into a mortal fallen state, with the seeds of death in their new physical bodies. These fallen individuals would have no ancestors on the earth, including no mother nor father. They would be alone adults in the world without a family they came from. They would also be granted evil knowledge known among the Gods, employed by evil Satans or devils in eternities up to that time, according to their evil desires. This is the meaning of the "tree of knowledge of evil".

3) For righteous angels or servants who were in their spirit state (either terrestrial or celestial beings), or celestial translated or resurrected state (all of these groups would have been cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christ, and have become clean every whit), they could partake of the fruit of this tree and enjoy the mental clarity, sweetness, and resultant joy coming from eating that fruit. They would also be able to ask for truth and knowledge of good things, if they had pure and righteous intentions, and receive answers from revelation to their mind and heart. This is the meaning of the "tree of knowledge of good".

4) For celestial couple Gods in eternity, were they to partake of this fruit in the celestial realms, along with the fruit of the tree of life, they would experience a fulness of joy! In addition, were they to ask any questions while partaking of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, they would receive the answer from our first parent Gods in their minds and hearts. This would be in addition to a continual link to their immediate parent Gods, or their ancestor Gods, who would normally guide and help them.

As you can see, both our children with only spirits and those with a physical body may partake of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. There is a spirit fruit superimposed upon the physical fruit. When a spirit individual plucks the fruit, only the spirit fruit is removed and the physical remains. Likewise, when one of our children with a physical body plucks the fruit, only the physical fruit is removed and the spirit fruit remains. Within a short time the missing fruit grows again so that there is both a physical and a spirit fruit. In this way the female tree of the knowledge of good and evil, that has been pollinated by the male tree, always has fruit, regardless of how many eat of the fruit.

As spoken of above in this note, the tree of knowledge of good and evil has a female and a male tree. If pollinated, the blossoms of the female tree bear a different fruit for each celestial month of a given eternity. This feature is active regardless of where the pollinated tree of knowledge of good and evil is located. In the garden of Eden on your earth, this tree was bearing fruit for one of these twelve celestial months when Eve then Adam partook.

Raphael, each of our celestial earths that rotate around in the skies above our celestial orb, has a fruiting tree of knowledge of good and evil. We also have each of the trees that their respective first parents partook of, in the forest of trees on our celestial orb.

Oh how I love the fruit of this tree, and the wisdom of our first parent Gods to have created such a beautiful and powerful tree! We, who are couple Gods and your parent Gods, are able to use this tree for our many purposes throughout the development, testing and progress of our children. We watch carefully over every one of these few trees that are used in each eternity, as we do also for the few trees of life for each eternity."

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her wonderful words to me today. I prayed about this in detail, and she confirmed that what I had written was all true. I feel so humbled to have received such great truths from her today!

August 24, 2024: I have been mulling over the power of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. For children like Adam and Eve, who were immortal terrestrial beings (no blood, but spirit in their physical bodies), the following occurred soon after they ate of the fruit of that tree: 1) The spirit in their bodies changed to blood 2) The seeds of death entered into their bodies

For celestial premortal spirits who turned evil, disobeyed God, and sought evil knowledge from the tree, the following occured soon after they ate of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil: 1) Their celestial spirit body was cast out of the celestial realm, and became telestial 2) Their spirit body was changed to a mortal physical body of flesh and blood 3) The seeds of death entered into their bodies 4) They were thrust into mortality as adults without a mortally nurtured childhood, void of progenitors–no mother nor father 5) They received knowledge of evil practices known to the Gods and Satans.

I then wondered if Lucifer, from our eternity who became a Satan, was able to partake of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. I addressed this question to Heavenly Mother tonight. She immediately said the following to my mind:

"Lucifer did not to partake of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil at any time. When he was thrust down to the earth, in the beginning, he was confined to a telestial world. He was not allowed into the terrestrial garden of Eden except at the time when he tempted and seduced Eve. He did not eat of the fruit of that tree at that time, for he was still fallen but quickened by God to be allowed to come into the terrestrial garden and to view and pluck the fruit of the tree.

The tree of knowledge of good and evil is a celestial tree, planted in this terrestrial garden, just like the tree of life is a celestial tree. Adam and Eve could see it and eat of it because of the celestial garments of light that they wore. Satan, who had fallen to the telestial realm, could see and handle the fruit because he was temporarily quickened by God, even though he had entered into the body of the serpent. The serpent was used to living in the terrestrial realm of the garden, but Lucifer was not. Normally, Satan does not enter into telestial animals, for they have no agency. However, in the terrestrial realm, animals are more aware and, in this case, the serpent allowed the deceptive Lucifer to enter into his body.

At the time Lucifer came into the garden of Eden, he had cleverly and fully entered into the body of a serpent as a disguise, so as not to alarm Eve. Lucifer, who dwelt in the telestial world outside of the garden, saw that the serpent had been coming frequently to the entrance of the garden of Eden. This was the boundary of the telestrial outside world and the terrestrial garden of Eden. It was at this time that Lucifer confronted the serpent and gained access to his body. He entered the serpent, for he thought that Eve would recognize him as the one who rebelled against God. However, in talking to her, he found that she had a veil of forgetfulness over her mind, and didn't remember anything about any former premortal world.

Lucifer appeared to Eve as a serpent, but spoke to Eve in his own spirit sense voice that communicated to her spirit. This voice was from Lucifer, not from the serpent's voice. Spirit sense is the way that our children have always communicated with animals in the premortal existence on our celestial orb and then in the garden of Eden (see the "Spirit Sense" heading in your index to the Book of R). Spirit to spirit communication was also the norm of "talking" with each other in the premortal existence and in the garden, although Adam and Eve also were developing their audible voices. These methods of spirit sense and spirit to spirit communication were very well understood and practiced by both Adam and Eve.

The serpent stood upon two legs and had two arms with hands, and a long tail, similar to a lizard but larger. The serpent lived in the garden of Eden and was tall enough to reach the fruit of the tree while standing on his legs. Eve was used to this serpent and the other animals in the garden of Eden.

When Lucifer (through the body of the serpent) plucked the physical fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, he held this fruit in his serpent hand and gave it to Eve. It was a celestial fruit, and would have been very painful for him to hold had he not been quickened (even while in the body of the serpent) by your Heavenly Father to endure the celestial environment.

After Eve partook of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, Lucifer sent her away to find Adam and give him of the fruit that she had partially eaten.

Lucifer also came later into the celestial presence of the Father and the Son, when he was called forth by the Father, and subsequently cast out of the garden of Eden by the Father. At that time he was no longer possessing the body of the serpent, but appeared in his spirit person. He soon was no longer quickened, and was required to quickly exit into the telestial world outside of the garden. However, at no time did Lucifer or any of his devils partake of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. The only evil spirits that partook of the fruit of that tree were the twenty-two fallen angels called the "watchers".

Had Lucifer been allowed to eat of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, he would have been thrust into mortality, just as the watchers were changed. Lucifer wondered if he could do more harm to God's children as a spirit that wouldn't die than as a mortal who would one day die. Satan did not obtain the evil knowledge from the tree either, but gained what he possessed by his own cunning and evil devices.

The tree of knowledge of good and evil remained in the garden of Eden in a terrestrial sphere. Cheribum and a flaming sword guarded the entrance to the garden so that no person from a telestial realm like Satan or fallen man could enter. However, those of a terrestrial or celestial glory were allowed to enter. The cherubim specifically was commanded to restrict Adam or Eve, or any of their posterity, from entering into the garden, but not other individuals from terrestrial or celestial realms. This is how the "watchers", who at that time were still celestial, were able to enter into the garden and gain access to the fruit of that tree."

August 25, 2024: I was in my prayer this Sunday morning, communing with my Heavenly Father. As I prayed over what I received yesterday, Heavenly Father wanted to add more information to what Heavenly Mother told me. Here are his words that come into my mind this morning:

"Raphael, you have wondered if Lucifer or any of his evil hosts would have been able to eat of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, before they were cast out of heaven, on my celestial orb.

As you recall, at one point before the great battle with Lucifer and his evil hosts, we restricted access for Lucifer and his companions of the wilderness area. This area includes our holy celestial temple, the three rivers coming forth out of the fountain of living water, lake Beautiful and the healing lake, and all lands in that area. This wilderness area encompassed also the tree of life and trees of knowledge of good and evil, including the vast forest of these trees. Your Heavenly Mother and I did not want any of our sons and daughters with evil intentions to break through and partake of the fruit of any of these trees. We knew that Lucifer and his hosts would be cast out of the celestial realm for rebellion, and we didn't want them to receive any evil knowledge from partaking of the fruit of that tree.

While in the garden of Eden, when we allowed Lucifer entrance to tempt and try Eve through the body of the serpent, he claimed that he had special evil knowledge from the fruit of that tree. This was a lie, for Lucifer never had eaten of this fruit. When he held this fruit in the serpent's hand, he was planning to eat of the fruit himself once Eve had left to give of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil to Adam. His plan was to exit the serpent's body and stand before the tree and pluck the fruit for himself to eat. However, we ushered Lucifer away from the tree by our Cheribum with a flaming sword that we immediately sent. Lucifer later interacted with Adam, Eve, Jesus Christ and me in his spirit person, once Adam had also partaken of the fruit. From there we cursed Lucifer and cast him out of the garden. We also cursed the serpent who from that time on moved upon his belly and lost his legs and arms. At no point had Lucifer partaken of the fruit of this tree of knowledge of good and evil."

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his new insights to what really happened, both in heaven and in the garden of Eden. I feel so blessed to receive such great truths from my Heavenly Parents!

I then considered other miraculous events in the gospel of Jesus Christ. I considered birth, whether a spirit birth to Heavenly Mother, or a mortal birth on earth. I considered the glorious resurrection, where one who is dead is changed and born into immortality. This is certainly more dramatic than the powerfull miracles given by the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

I thought of the atonement of Jesus Christ, how he could suffer for all of our sins, one at a time, in some way only God is able to understand. I thought of how revelation comes to the mind and heart of God children. I thought of the transfer of our spirits into different realms, like when we die or when in a vision. All of these are miraculous, only possible by the power of God. God is all-powerful, and dwells in a highest celestial realm where all things are possible. How great are these mysteries! The power and characteristics of the tree of knowledge of good and evil is very miraculous as well. I feel so humbled to receive a portion of these truths through personal revelation from my Heavenly Parents!

August 28, 2024: This morning in my prayer I wondered why the first parent Gods would come up with a tree that gave evil information? I could understand good revelation, or truth, but why evil? Wasn't this encouraging God's children to seek for evil? Why would God do that?

I have no preconceived answer to my question above about the tree of knowledge of good and evil. I am humbly praying to my Father, with this question in my mind, hoping that he will answer this.

Heavenly Father gave me the impression to write his words, while he would give me revelation on this specific question:

"Raphael, my son, you have learned so very much truth recently about the tree of knowledge of good and evil. This answer you seek today will complete these truths from us about the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

We who become couple Gods in eternity come to that position with limited knowledge. Our first parent Gods wanted a method for us to gain all truth in order for us to wisely govern and raise our children. Many of our children would chose evil ways. Our first parent Gods wanted us to know the history and truth of every evil trick, manipulation, and method that these wayward children might do or think, so that we could be prepared for their sinister ways. This knowledge is power, for we who are Gods, cannot be deceived by one of our children who invents an evil method in seeking to destroy our glorious plan of salvation we offer to all of our children.

Our first parent Gods recognized that those of their posterity who would become Gods in eternity would need to have additional and superior knowledge and understanding of all truth, even including sinister ways and methods of the evil ones. Because of this concern, they created a tree designed to reveal such evil knowledge they possessed to any of their posterity who became Gods. These Gods could partake of the fruit of the tree of knowlege of good and evil, with the intention to gain this knowledge. This vast information from which they would seek answers would be a compilation of all good and all evil knowledge and history from the beginning, amongst all the Gods.

Our first parent Gods oversee all of their posterity, both who are Gods, and to those in the universe of the many different degrees of glories, and also all those who receive no glory for reward for their works. They want all of their progeny Gods to have access to all that has ever happened in this vast array of experience. This accumulated knowledge is what the tree of knowledge of good and evil provides. These trees all may access this vast body of knowledge, and in this way, the first parent Gods have chosen to give revelation to the Gods who inquire.

For example, if one of the couple Gods in eternity is presented with a situation where their children have come up with evil practices that they are unsure how to handle, they may partake of the fruit of this tree and with intention, gain all knowledge about what has ever happened in the past on that subject. Usually, a similar situation has occurred in one of the eternities of another God. The knowledge of how it was handled and the outcome is very valuable information for the inquiring couple God. This gives them superior knowledge on how to handle the situation. The actions of the Gods are always done according to the laws of the kingdom that have been written for the Gods to operate within.

The access to the tree of knowledge of good and evil may be extended to those of the first parent Gods' posterity, who seek good or who seek evil knowledge. In all of these cases, the current parent Gods of those children control access to the tree of knowledge of good and evil. They may choose to use the placement of the tree to assist their children to enter mortality, of their own free will, from an eternal state of no death. Such was the case when we placed the tree of knowledge of good and evil in the garden of Eden. We used the tree to ultimately bring Adam and Eve out of the garden into a telestial mortal sphere, without using force, but by their own free will and choice.

We also knew that a very few of our angels might be tempted to partake of the fruit of that tree, with evil intentions, and thus be propelled into mortality. Our now fallen twenty-two angels thought that they could embrace evil and continue living in a celestial realm with their celestial powers we gave to them. In seeking evil, we knew that they could never become like us who are Gods. For them, this was part of their probationary testing.

Your Heavenly Mother and I come to the tree of knowledge of good and evil whenever we are confronted with a new situation where our experience and knowledge may not be sufficient. We partake of the fruit of that celestial tree, and instantly come to a much greater understanding what are our options for our future actions. This tree is the source through which this revelation is brought to us from our first parent Gods. With our godly foresight, we then may view the future outcome of a particular action that we may take. We are so very grateful for such a wonderful gift, given to us from our first parent Gods!"

I am very enlightened by this beautiful response from my loving Heavenly Father! I feel abundant assurance and light when I think over what he revealed to me, and know it is true. Oh, how wonderful are the revelations of my Gods to me!
