Genesis 2:9
9 And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

110D17-110D28, from Heavenly Father: "Q2: "Is the tree of life the same tree as the tree of knowledge of good and evil, as mentioned in the Garden of Eden?" Moses 4:31 "I placed at the east of the Garden of Eden, cherubim and a flaming sword, which turned every way to keep the way of the tree of life." Genesis 2:9 "And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil." See also Alma 42:5

A2 from R: The tree of life was eaten freely by Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. It wasn't until they ate of the new tree of the knowledge of good and evil, that they were not to eat of the tree of life again. Once they had eaten of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, the fruit caused a change in their immortal bodies, making them mortal, or soon to be mortal. Had they eaten of the tree of life at that time, in their physical and newly fallen state (or falling state), they would have forever lived in their sins, having transgressed God's commandment and not having time to repent. The tree of life is not the same tree as the tree of knowledge of good and evil. The tree of knowledge of good and evil was made available to Adam and Eve once they became adults in the Garden of Eden. Heavenly Father introduced them to this new tree, saying that he forbid them to eat of it, lest they would surely die. He gave them their choice, however.

"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."

Genesis 2:24
24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

184F12-184F22: "Evening–On our date, my wife and I talked a lot about basic principles we wanted to follow with our grown children. We decided not to press our own desires for closeness upon our children, but let them each fully choose the level of their relationship with us. Some will be happy with not much at all, maybe associations several times a year, if that. Others will want visits several times a week and daily phone calls. Both will be acceptable to us, for we want to meet their own desires with a similar level of interest and love from us.

I feel this is how our Heavenly Parents relate with us, their children. If we draw near to them, they will in turn draw near to us. If we neglect them, they will not press themselves on us.

I read about the Brother of Jared being led by the Lord to the seashore before crossing the great waters. He then didn't call upon the name of the Lord for four years (see Ether 2:14). In this case, God did not press on the Brother of Jared for years, allowing him to choose the level of the relationship they would have together.

Similarly, my wife and I want to allow our own children space to set the level of our relationship with them.

I came this evening to the banks of Heavenly Mother's river, opposite the temple. I knelt under the trees facing the river, and asked for my Heavenly Mother to come.

She then walked to me from her temple, across the river, and in front of me in the air. She was smiling and immediately spoke: 'Raphael, there is a transition in the level of love and attention from a mother and father to their dependent infant children to the time when they are launched as adults into the world. You are correct that children pass through the lives of mothers and fathers, and then fulfill the scripture in Genesis 2:24 "Therefore shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave unto his wife, and they shall be one flesh."

In order for a child to become sufficiently independent of their father and mother, and to form a binding relationship with a spouse, they need to gradually have the reins of control and dependency removed. They need to learn to live on their own and establish their own family as a husband or a wife. Their years of training on being self-reliant and independent will be fully realized when they finally choose to marry.

In this way our children pass through their own parents' lives and establish their own families, with children of their own. The cycle is repeated as multiple children fulfill the scripture to cleave to their spouses and begin another family. Ultimately, the husband and wife are back alone again cleaving to each other, and their children will have passed through and moved onto their own lives and families.

A couple whose children have departed and they are again alone together, should cling to each other and support each other in love and focused interest. The children have all moved on, and now there are only these two, husband and wife. They may continue a loving relationship of mutual respect and interest for those of their children who wish to continue in a new adult friendship. Parents of adult children should allow freedom for their adult children to determine how close they wish to be, how often they want to connect, and what of their lives they wish to share. Parents may have some children who are no longer interested in being close, and that is their choice. This is part of life and what happens in many families. Parents should just let this be without becoming upset or feeling like they have been slighted. This is how many families evolve into, and is why we have given the commandment to honor your father and mother. We, the eternal parents of all our mortal children, watch and will judge all such family interactions. Our elect need to care for and love their aging parents who have sacrificed and raised them in diligence and love.'

I thanked my loving Heavenly Mother for her words of eternal truth tonight. I told her I loved connecting with her and Heavenly Father daily. I feel this is a great highlight in my daily life.

She smiled and faded away until she was gone."

177F17-177F24, from Heavenly Mother: "You may always have our counsel and guidance! We will let you struggle to find the correct answer, and then you will know that you reached our approval with the confirmation of our Spirit, coming to your heart and mind.

This is how we, as your Heavenly Parents, guide and direct you. We will not make your decisions for you, but will confirm your choice and proposed actions by a confirmation from our Holy Spirit.

You, as a mortal parent, may do that same sort of guidance with your own children, particularly those who are grown and launched into life. You should never make their decisions for them, but be a support and provide guidance as they may come to you and ask for help. Even suggesting that they do a certain thing may usurp their own agency. Ultimately, they need to choose how they will live their own life. Your responsibility for their wellbeing and happiness ends once they become an adult and fully make their own way in life.

Relationships with grown children become on a more equal basis once they leave your home and become independent. They still are commanded to honor their parents, and you continue to love and support them emotionally in their journey through life. Your main role then as a parent is to continue to love and accept them, regardless of their choices in life. You might think they should make other choices or actions, but these are fully their choices. You may support and accept, and be available if they ask for your counsel and advice. Judging or being critical of them never is justified. You may discuss their choices with your spouse in private, but that is where such open talk should end.

Remember, their choices and actions are fully their own, and do not reflect on you. As you continue to love and accept them they will be most open to fully make their own way in life, and also feel your support and be connected with you.That is how we wish them to be, to fulfill the measure of their mortal probationary life on earth.'

Heavenly Mother then spoke to me:

'Raphael, being a parent is hard, particularly knowing when to lessen the control in raising children and transitioning into their own independence. At this point, a wise parent will accept and love their adult child, and maintain the best relationship with them as possible. There is no obligation to financially support adult children, but you should emotionally support and love them once they are launched into life, for we view them as fully responsible for their own actions and choices. We want to see what they will do when on their own, with full agency to do as they desire. It is in this state that we, as their Heavenly Parents, determine if they are our elect or not. We view their entire premortal and mortal journey up to this point. We are so pleased when our older children who are their parents, release them into life, prepared by their own training at home to be good citizens in their community, and have taught them Christian values. Whether they accept these values taught in their youth is entirely up to them.

You may be assured that your wife and you have raised your children in this way, and that we are pleased. They now are making their own way in their mortal life. They all know you love and accept them how they are.'

I thanked my Heavenly Parents for their very wise counsel tonight! I felt their love and acceptance of me. I felt their light flow freely into my being before them, kneeling in the air."

Genesis 3:17-18
17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;

18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;

Sun, Jun 16, 2024
In prayer last night I asked about the plants that were in the terrestrial garden of Eden that transitioned into the plants in the telestial world: were these plants beneficial and lovely in their terrestrial state, but in their fallen state became thorns, thistles, and noxious weeds to afflict and torment man? Or alternatively, were there other plants not in the garden of Eden that became thorns, thistles and noxious weeds?

Genesis 3:17-18: "And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;

Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;" (see also Moses 4:23-24).

In answer to my prayer my Heavenly Mother spoke this to my mind:

"Raphael, there were plants in the terrestrial garden of Eden that transitioned into the telestial fallen world that became thorns, thistles and noxious weeds. In the garden of Eden, these same plants were beautiful and beneficial to Adam, and not considered a curse to him.

Likewise, in the renewed day of the millennial terrestrial earth, the plants that you now consider noxious weeds that afflict you when growing your garden, will become more tame to the point that they will not be a curse to you. Instead these will be beneficial plants and a blessing to you! All the earth will bring forth plants that will be beautiful, lovely and helpful to man. The plants in this terrestrial mortal earthly will be like the animals who will lose their enmity towards each other and to man. No plants will be considered noxious nor will they afflict or torment man in any way:

"The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.

And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.

And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice’ den.

They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea." (Isaiah 11:6-9)."

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her marvelous words! I asked how long before I would see this happen on my own terrestrial land that has just changed from telestial land? (see my notes in Genesis 49:26 dated April 16, 2024, and in D&C 76:71).

Here is her response:

"Raphael, on April 28, 2024, as recorded in your notes in Genesis 49:26, your Heavenly Father said the following which you wrote:

"Q: Will we be able to approach the state of the garden of Eden on our land as we apply ourselves in being wise stewards on the land, according the the inspirations of God?

A: Yes! As you apply yourself as a wise steward over your land, and seek to improve your soil health and vitality, it will improve over the next few years. The plants will thrive and produce more abundantly as you do so. The garden of Eden soil was virgin soil on a brand new prepared earth, whereas your soil has been depleted over the years. You need to continue to wisely amend the soil to approach the terrestrial soil condition as it was at the beginning of the earth. [See my more recent note in D&C 76:71 where I elaborate more on this topic.]"

You also wrote the following in your note in D&C 76:71, as as your own conclusion:

"There is still lots of improvement to be made, which I believe will take some transition time. Once we are in the millennium, I believe that the average soil in my garden will be as vibrant as the soil was in the terrestrial garden of Eden. I then tested that it would be a similar to that virgin terrestrial garden of Eden soil. The trend is to be improved year by year. I am also thinking that this requires me to use good amendment practices available to me to enhance the soil. This is probably not too accurate since it is in the future, but it gives me an idea of where the soil quality is heading."

Raphael, this same transition of your soil, to a higher quality, and your effort to tend, cultivate and amend your soil so that it becomes more vibrant terrestrial soil, applies also to what you now consider to be weeds and noxious plants. As you use methods to eliminate certain plants from your growing areas, these will not return as vigorously, and will eventually be eliminated because of your efforts. This is not that these unwanted plants will be removed, but that they will become more tame and less vigorous, or less thorny, or less noxious. Their natures will have been changed from an invasive state in your telestial world to a more tame and controllable state in the terrestrial world. These will no longer be classed as noxious weeds and invasive plants, for they will not be a curse nor an affliction to you! This change will happen over the next several years, similar to the changes in your soil. By the time that you transition back to the effective age of seventy years old, in July 2027, these changes will have been made." (see my note dated May 6, 2024 in Genesis 49:21).

I was very grateful for Heavenly Mother's words to me today! I feel very pleased with her words. I confirmed that I have written correctly her words, and that she approved them."

Genesis 3:18-19
18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;

19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

138G18-138G24: "Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, we did bless you in your sale today, for this was important to you and your wife, and therefore we wanted to bless you in your work in mortality. If our children pray to us in their employment, we will bless and prosper them as they do all they can to provide for their own. You and your wife have provided for your family in your family business for over 30 years. You have worked together in raising your seven children and we have prospered and blessed you as you put forth hard work. As you have prayed to us through the years, we have blessed you and guided you so you would be successful in having sufficient for your needs as a family.

We will bless any of our sons and daughters who seek to provide for themselves and their family and loved ones. As they work hard, and are open to our direction, we will help them learn and grow in whatever employment they desire, as long as it is wholesome and bettering humanity and their community.

When our first man and first woman came to earth, we instructed them how to farm and grow food for their family. In the beginning of the earth, when it fell from a terrestrial state to a telestial state, I cursed the ground (see Genesis 3:17). It became a fallen earth, and was a much more difficult world to raise a family in than would it have continued in the terrestrial state.

Genesis 3:18-19–"Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field.

In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it was thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return."

Moses 5:1–"And it came to pass that after I, the Lord God, had driven them out, that Adam began to till the earth, and to have dominion over all the beasts of the field, and to eat his bread by the sweat of his brow, as I the Lord had commanded him. And Eve, also, his wife, did labor with him."

Adam and Eve worked hard to provide food for their growing family, for shelter and for clothing, and other necessities of life. This same pattern has continued even until your day. You labor in a different way, but still provide for your own family needs. We will help all who call on us to help them provide for their own family.'

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his support, and for these words to me tonight."

Genesis 3:22-24
22 And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:

23 Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.

24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

35E1-35E8: "This morning in my meditations, and in my prayer, I felt I was in the lovely garden area west of the tree of life. It occurred to me that we, who are mortal, couldn't really have fully partaken of the fruit and the leaf of the tree of life unless we were in our physical bodies. Our bodies are mortal, yet translated and transfigured. Our bodies are therefore able to go to this celestial world as such, in our combined physical and spirit state. This makes the experience of partaking of the fruit and the leaf of the tree much more full and real. The tree of life is a resurrected tree, having both a physical and spirit side which is combined. It is not a spirit-only tree, but is physical and tangible, like our current physical bodies are tangible.

I believe that Lehi, in the Book of Mormon, partook of the fruit of the tree of life also, in his dream, but he was there only in his spirit. He partook of the spirit fruit, not the physical fruit, something that the resurrected tree of life was able to do for him. For us, however, we partake of the full physical and spirit fruit combined, and the full physical-spirit leaf.

[August 27, 2024: I just learned that the tree of knowledge of good and evil had both a spirit fruit and a physical fruit, superimposed upon each other. I believe this is the same for the fruit of the tree of life. See my notes in Revelation 22:2 under August 23, 2024, for more information on how this works for both trees:

"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."]

In order to go to the celestial world in our physical body, it has to be both translated and transfigured, or it has to be resurrected. The spirit cells of the transfigured person encapsulate and control the physical cells. This provides protection, and the ability to teleport to places of glory, like our celestial world home.

I also was listening to the Book of Isaiah in the car on Monday, and listened to Isaiah chapter 6. This is where Isaiah sees the Lord, in the temple, and receives his commission. He saw the house (temple) filled with smoke (verse 4). In versus 6-7, one of the seraphims took a live coal from the alter, and touched Isaiah's lips with the coal, saying his sins were purged.

I realized then that Isaiah's visions occurred in front of the temple and inside the temple doors, where I have been! The alter from where the coal was taken, is the golden alter, just north of the temple doors, and next to the fountain of living waters. The smoke that filled the temple, is similar to the smoke which now fills the temple. I believe it represents the wrath of God. Isaiah was called to preach to the people, until our day, the day in which 'the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate' (verse 11).

In the last verse 13, Isaiah talks about eating a tree, and also about leaves. I had questions:

Q– In Isaiah 6:13, is Isaiah talking about the holy angels who will partake of the tree of life next week? A– Yes! Isaiah wrote this last verse in Isaiah 6:13, because he saw, at the time of his calling, the journey of the mortal angels in the future, who walked up to the tree of life, and partook of both the fruit and the leaf of that tree. Although not really clear in this verse as it now reads, he says the following (parenthesis added): '(the tree) shall be eaten (the fruit and the leaf of the tree) as a teil tree, and as an oak (the tree of life looks like a huge mature oak tree), whose substance (the powerful affect of the fruit and the leaf) is in them (in the angels who have eaten of the fruit), when they cast (eat) their leaves (the leaves of the tree of life): so the holy seed (the holy angels) shall be the substance thereof (the powerful affect of the tree of life will transfer to the holy seed or the holy angels, preparatory to their receiving their full power as holy angels in the flesh).'

Here is the full verse 13 without the comments:

'But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance is in them, when they cast their leaves: so the holy seed what be the substance thereof.'

You, who are God's holy angels, are privileged to partake of the fruit and the leaf of the tree of life, and thereby qualify as God's holy angels (the holy seed). You need to have this experience and strengthening effect from the tree of life, before being filled with the full power of your angelic commission. This power, authority and strength will be conferred in full upon you in the general assembly of heaven's angels, on the evening of the day you take your journey to the tree of life. The day that has been chosen by the Father is November 25, 2016."

Genesis 6:4
4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

Thu, Aug 29, 2024
The book of Enoch reports more details on these giants. This record states that there were angels who left their station in the celestial realm and came to dwell among men, for they had lusted after women. They were called the watchers. Once they seduced them, the women bore giants called Nephilim. These giants wrecked havoc among the people, destroying people and lands. Their behavior contributed greatly to the wickedness of man on the earth, as expressed in the next verse 5.

I had read several accounts of the Book of Enoch, and had wondered in the past about these giants among the people before the flood. Today I plan to approach my Heavenly Father about these giants, whether they were real, how could fallen angels gain a body of flesh and blood to be able to have sex with mortal women, and then to have born abnormally large children.

I also know that Hugh Nibley, a famous LDS scholar, stated that the records of these giants are true. I wanted to know for myself through prayer.

When I sincerely prayed about this I felt that Heavenly Father wanted to give me a revelation on this subject. I asked that I be humble and very open to his promptings, and that my mind be clear and without any preconceived notion on the subject.

Here are his words that he immediately gave to me in my mind: "Raphael, I am glad that you have approached me about the giants on the earth during the days of Enoch.

It is true that I had a number of angels assigned to various tasks, who worked from the celestial realms on the earth. They oversaw the doings of the descendants of Adam and Eve, from behind celestial veils.

It is also true that some of these angels became lustful over women in the flesh. They disregarded the propriety regarding overseeing my earthly sons and daughters, by viewing them at times of their dressing and bathing, or sexual activity which was strictly against the code of conduct for angels or other ministers to those in mortality.

From these experiences, these angels became know as the watchers. They let the carnal and sensual nature of the flesh, their lustful desires, take hold upon their minds. This occurred even though they were living in a higher celestial realm. They desired these base desires more than their callings as holy angels of God.

There were twenty-two of these male watchers that conspired together to leave their assignments and stations in the celestial realm. They came to the protected garden of Eden area, passed the cherubim that were guarding the way. The cherubim allowed them to pass by since they were all celestial angels of God, not knowing their thoughts and intentions.

Once in the garden of Eden, they all partook of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. By partaking of that fruit, with their evil intentions, there was a change wrought upon their bodies. This physical change did a similar change as this same fruit did for Adam and Eve when they partook of this tree, thus becoming mortals. Likewise, these angels also became mortal, with blood running through their veins, their spirits being changed to tangible flesh and bones, one day to die because they were changed to become mortals.

The change to become mortal fallen angels was irreversible. They next exited the garden of Eden before the change was completed, going into the telestial mortal world. They retained the memory of their premortal stations as angels of God.

These wicked angels also sought evil knowledge when partaking of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. In this regard, these fallen angels gained superior evil knowledge from the partaking of the fruit of the tree with evil intentions. They then used this knowledge to deceive other mortals in the telestial world. This evil knowledge was given because of their evil desires to know evil devices, tricks and snares, a property given by eating the fruit of this tree. These wicked angels also sought that the change in their bodies would make their offspring very powerful, large and ferocious, so that they could terrorize earth's mortal inhabitants. This also was received by these watchers at that time.

Once these fallen angels had fully changed into mortal beings, they went forth abroad on the earth to trick and deceive women with whom they had sex. They taught their evil knowledge and wicked thoughts to evil persons receptive to their teachings. The women with whom they committed sexual sin bore children who grew up to be extremely large and ferocious. These giants were generally obedient to their wicked fathers. Therefore, the desire of these watchers was fulfilled, to teach great wickedness, and to become very evil and a terror to those on the earth.

When I saw this great wickedness of man on the earth, I called forth Enoch and some of my faithful archangels including you, Raphael. The account of how I had these servants reprove and punish the watchers is given in the Book of Enoch (see the Book of Enoch, translated by Richard Lawrence, chapter X for this punishment for the watchers)."

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his very remarkable truths he gave to me this afternoon! I had never considered or thought of any of this before, particularly about the power of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil! I had known that this tree in the garden of Eden was removed to the celestial orb before the great flood (see my notes in Revelation 22:2). I would like to learn more of the power and properties of this fruit and of the tree.

Genesis 6:5,11,13
5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.

13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

119F1-119F8: "I have pondered over my interesting meeting with Melchizedek last night. He lived in a time, when he came off the ark, much like I will someday live in: the land will be cleared of inhabitants, and it will have just been devastated by a natural disaster. In the mission area, there will have been flooding and a very devastating earthquake, at least that is what I have read about. The area of the New Jerusalem will be wet and muddy, until it all dries out, which is similar to the land when Noah and his family came off of the ark (see Genesis 8:3).

Melchizedek (and Noah) lived in a time when people thought and did evil continually, much like my day:

Genesis 6:5,11–"And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence."

The parallels to our day are many. I feel blessed to be able to call upon Melchizedek in receiving advice and counsels. I wonder if there is any significance in being introduced to Melchizedek now?

I also went back to my post 74 and read more about what I wrote then (I started with the March 27, 2018
entry). I had actually met him at that time, and we had embraced. I had seen that he and his people were involved with hiding and protecting the elect in the days ahead, to find places of safety and security. It seems that the visit last night was more for my direct needs of counseling in building the New Jerusalem. The previous visit in March 2018 was to show me that he and his people would guide and protect the elect.

This morning in my prayer I came to the little rock outcropping above the circling waters, in Heavenly Mother's upper garden. I could easily see God's temple in the distance to the west. The celestial sun was in the sky and it was spring like outside. I knelt and asked for one or both of my Heavenly Parents to come to me.

Heavenly Mother then came in front of me, in a beam of light that extended from somewhere up in the sky. She was very bright, brilliantly shining her light! I felt her peace and love come into me as her intense light penetrated into my being. I felt transparent and completely visible before her, even in all of my body.

She spoke to me: 'Raphael, your Heavenly Father re-introduced you again to Melchizedek last night. We will bring him one more time to you in the future also. After that time you will be able to call on him repeatedly without us being with you.

There will be others who are translated or resurrected who are our servants who also will come to minister to you and assist you in your mission. If you don't know who may help you in a particular time in the future, ask of us to send someone who may help you. We may come or we may send one like Melchizedek who has developed skills and expertise you may need. We are pleased when we are able to send one of our own children to come to you in our place. We will inspire and direct you in your coordination with them."

168F6-168F13: "She spoke: 'Raphael, we will give to you and our elect a short time to prepare all things in your physical possession against the day of want that is coming on the earth. You have been preparing every needful thing, and finishing the preparations in your own household. Before shutting the door of the ark, Noah worked steadily on gathering provisions and animals as we had commanded him. All the while the wicked were consumed in their own pleasure and self-centered living:

Genesis 6: 5,13–

"And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth."

2 Nephi 30: 9-10

"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 shall 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."

We are now prompting our elect who will hear us to prepare spiritually and physically for that which is to come. These are very uncertain times in their minds. As they labor to prepare food, clothing and shelter needs, we will greatly help them, even as we have helped you be so productive in finishing your last minute preparations in the past few days.

Once the fires from the meteorites start coming to the earth in intensity, it will be too late to buy things as you can do now. Your options to buy will be more and more limited.

The time is soon at hand that, "And it shall come to pass among the wicked, that every man that will not take his sword against his neighbor must needs flee unto Zion for safety.

And there shall be gathered unto it out of every nation under heaven; and it shall be the only people that shall not be at war one with another. " (D&C 45:68-69)

Raphael, come stay by my side today, in my heavens, and I will help you make your final list of things to purchase or make ready for the day coming when you no longer may prepare.'

I thanked her for her offer, and I said I wanted to be by her side the entire day in a constant prayer and communion! I said I would make a list of my final preparations, and that I would seek her input."

Genesis 7:10-11
10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.

11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.

109H1-109H10: "I came this morning to the exceedingly high mountain, above Heavenly Mother's upper garden. I faced west and asked for my Heavenly Parents to come, for thus was I inspired to come and do. These are very subtle impressions that come at the moment and then I verify once I receive them. I then waited and observed. Heavenly Mother came to my side, on my right and said: 'Raphael, look with me into the western skies!'

We both looked and I saw on the current land of America a very large structure made of wood. I immediately knew it was the ark of Noah! This was a vision of the past that I was witnessing! Noah and his sons and wife and daughters in law (eight total) were helping the last of the animals onto the ark that he and his sons had made. We watched until the last ones had entered. Then the two great sides of the door were pulled shut from ropes on the inside and a large wooden bar was lowered in place to secure the doors. All of the animals and the eight people were now safely in the ark.

That evening in prayer in my vision, I saw that Noah, whose name was also the angel Gabriel, came in spirit to the same location I was yesterday morning in my prayer, at the top of the switchback on the path. Gabriel knelt on the path and faced the distant temple and prayed to God. There was a bright column of light that appeared from the temple and Gabriel stepped into the column of light. He was immediately projected into the mortal probation room before your Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother.

Heavenly Father spoke to Gabriel: 'Gabriel, come now with us to the earth!' He stood and took their hands. They all three were before the earth in space! The earth was dark like I had seen her yesterday morning in vision. I also could see Nibiru close to the earth, like in our day! Heavenly Father then commanded Gabriel, his second archangel son, to command Nibiru to sweep down close to the earth. He also told Gabriel to command the earth to break up the fountains of waters and to divide the great landmass below. Gabriel then turned and faced Mother Earth and commanded her and Nibiru, saying words like this: 'Our Mother Earth and Nibiru, I am Gabriel that stands in the presence of your creators, my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother. The Father has commanded me to speak to you both and direct you both to act together to break up the chains of darkness and evil that grip the earth and cause wickedness to flourish everywhere on your surface. Nibiru, it is now time for you to sweep down near the earth and to disrupt the surface of the earth with your very large gravitational pull. Mother Earth, when this happens it is then time to break up the fountains of waters in the sea east and break up the landmass into seven continents so that your surface is completely changed. In doing so, bring forth waters from the great deep to entirely cover the earth in a worldwide flood. Cause the windows of heaven to pour down rain on the waters, to sweep away iniquity from your surface!'

I then heard both Nibiru and then the earth speak to Gabriel that they would do so according to his command as he was directed by their Father creator. I then saw the fulfillment of this scripture: Genesis 7:10-11 "And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth. In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened."

Heavenly Mother then turned to me, on the high mountaintop where we were observing this in vision: 'Raphael, you see that Noah, our great second archangel, commanded the earth and Nibiru as you will command the earth and Nibiru. Yesterday in your vision you saw on the mural, you didn't see the part where you commanded Nibiru to sweep down on the earth. However, this also will occur at another time directly after you will have commanded the earth. You will thus have followed the same pattern established by Gabriel, as we have commanded him and as we will command you.

In Noah's day, there was exceedingly great wickedness, and all of the righteous had been removed from the earth, to be with Enoch and his people. The earth was ripe for destruction. In your day, the peoples of the earth will even be more wicked and dark, and the earth will be gripped with evil that abounds on her surface. Mother Earth will again do as she did once before, in moving her crust to transform the continents, only she will reverse her actions of the former days to bring the seven continents back together into one landmass and cause the oceans to be gathered into one sea east. Nibiru will come again near her surface to initiate all of these dramatic actions and cataclysmic movements. This time, however, there will be gathered many pockets of the righteous elect all over the surface of the earth. These will be protected by the angels of God so that they will yet live and be able to transition into our great millennial day, where the earth may rest and be relieved of wickedness on her surface.

After Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son, returns in glory, you will again be commanded by us through Jesus Christ, to take Lucifer and his evil followers, and to lock them in the bottomless pit, deep in the earth. There will then be peace upon the earth's surface for a thousand years.'

I spoke to my Mother in front of me: 'My beloved Heavenly Mother, I thank you for showing me this vision of Noah, or Gabriel, my older brother and what he did to initiate the great flood! I am humbled to be chosen to act as he did in these last days that will cause such changes on the earth. I will act in full obedience to all that Heavenly Father and you may direct me!'

Heavenly Mother smiled and reached her hand towards me and placed it on my shoulder: 'Raphael, Noah was 600 years old when we brought forth the floods on the earth. You have additional growth and learning to do before we will command you to act as he did. Continue to come to us, twice a day, to prepare yourself and the angels for the great work we will command you to do in these last days.'"

12 And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:

13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.

14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:

15 And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.

16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.

Genesis 10:25
25 And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother’s name was Joktan.

109F3-109F11: "Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, I want to answer a question from one of those who have emailed you four days ago: Q1: "R, I was listening to a post on the creation this morning. I was wondering when did the earth's continents separate and were no longer one landmass? What caused the land to separate? Q2: Also, what caused the flood during Noah's time? Was he really on the water for a year, and did the water cover the entire earth at that time?"

Here is what your scriptures record: Genesis 10:25: "And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided…" D&C 133:24: "And the land of Jerusalem and the land of Zion shall be turned back into their own place, and the earth shall be like as it was in the days before it was divided."

The continents used to be all linked together as one landmass. There was a sea east (see Moses 6:42). This was originally east of the Garden of Eden, in the area east of your current continent of North America. There were other landmasses connected to your current east coast. This sea was the original ocean. It was much smaller than the current wide expanses of oceans.

When Noah and his sons departed the ark, it was 110 years until Peleg was born. It was in his youth that the earth was divided, by breaking up the peoples of the earth into multiple nations. This was after the days of Nimrod who built the Tower of Babel. This was also after the people of Jared were safely across the Atlantic Ocean to the promised land, your land now called America. Many people interpret Genesis 10:25 to be the dividing of the physical continents on the earth's surface, whereas it was really the dividing up of peoples with similar languages that split up into the various lands of the earth. The people were confounded in their languages, so they kept together in large groups and traveled over the earth in search of lands to settle. Before this time, they spoke the same language.

The dividing of the physical continents occurred at the beginning and during the catastrophic worldwide flood. This great division of the surface of the earth into the current continents of your day is what initiated the flood. The sea east was extremely deep and when the earth moved upward under this ocean floor and the single landmass divided quickly, the earth was both completely covered with water in a worldwide flood, and the one continent became seven major continents as the earth is today.

At the beginning of the changes that are to again occur on the earth before the millennium, the continents will again move quickly into one major landmass, with the New Jerusalem at the center of this one continent. This was how it was in the beginning, with the Garden of Eden at the center of this one continent. This future change in the earth's surface will wreak havoc with the nations and peoples of the earth. However, our elect will be protected during this dramatic changing of events. This will be a time when "Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low; and the crooked shall be made straight and the rough places plain." (Isaiah 40:4)

The flood that occurred in the days of Noah completely covered the earth. The account in Genesis chapter 8 is accurate from the time standpoint, showing how long Noah and his family were in the ark. By the time the ark rested on Mt. Ararat, the great upheavals on the earth had become settled and there were no more quaking and catastrophic changes. Mt. Ararat was formed during the great changes on the earth during the flood and used to be a flat plain before the flood.

From this area around Mt. Ararat, Noah and his family populated again the earth. It was soon after the Tower of Babel that I caused the languages of the people to be confounded, except for the brother of Jared and his people who came across the newly formed ocean and landed in the promised land (see Ether 1:33-37). The promised land they came to became a choice land, now separated from all other continents on the earth. I kept it hidden from the knowledge of the other nations that would form, for they would overrun the land, that there would be no place for an inheritance." (see 2 Nephi 1:8).'

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his clear answer to these questions! During my prayer, I felt to look online on my phone and found this website. When I scanned this, I felt this was true, and that God had led me there. He then gave me his revelation as I have recorded. Here is the website.

I then closed my prayer, since Heavenly Father said I needed to begin my day. I told him I loved him."

Genesis 18:23-33
23 And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?

24 Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?

25 That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?

26 And the Lord said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.

27 And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which am but dust and ashes:

28 Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy it.

29 And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for forty’s sake.

30 And he said unto him, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: Peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there.

31 And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord: Peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for twenty’s sake.

32 And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten’s sake.

33 And the Lord went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place.

163E2-163E20: "I reread S's email this morning, and the references he had to Genesis 18:23-33, and D&C 45:31-33. I wondered about the great wickedness in some of the cities of our land, how there are many cities of our land ripe for destruction. S was told that there are so few righteous that those cities will not be spared. He said large numbers of God's children would be removed by the earthquakes and destructions in the contour and face of the land. I read that the Lord would spare the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah if there were even ten people who were righteous, but there weren't even ten, for these cities were destroyed.

I then read D&C 84:114-115, when the Lord spoke of the city of New York, Albany, and Boston. He said to "warn the people of those cities with the sound of the gospel, with a loud voice, of the desolation and utter abolishment which await them if they do reject these things. For if they reject these things, the hour of their judgment is nigh, and their house shall be left unto them desolate."

I wondered about any few who were righteous in those cities, if they would be protected? I had also read in D&C 45:32, about the desolating sickness coming to the land, that "my disciples shall stand in holy places, and shall not be moved; but among the wicked, men shall lift up their voices and curse God and die."

These things were all in my mind as I approached God in humble and open prayer this morning.

I then came to a place in my mind, in the inner city of some large US city. I was a little above this ghetto in the air, in the celestial realms on the earth. I could clearly see all that was happening in this wicked district of this city.

I then knelt in the air and asked my Heavenly Father to come to me. He came immediately, in bright glory before me! I felt the fire of his glory, great light, passing through me, even as if I wasn't there. I still beheld his fiery face, particularly his eternity eyes that seemed full of justice and great power. He was somber and intent on something it seemed.

Heavenly Father then spoke: 'Raphael, we are in the celestial realms on your earth above a wicked city of your nation. The inhabitants of this city are wicked and of the telestial world except for a few, less than ten required of Jesus Christ when he spoke to Abraham about the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. This city below us has reached the same level of evil as those ancient cities, and they will be destroyed.

The very few righteous that remain in these cities have been elevated to be terrestrial mortals. For these few, they stand in holy places which is in their own dwellings. If they do not respond to our promptings to leave this wicked city, we will still be merciful to them. There is a great darkness that has enveloped all of your land, and particularly the large cities like this one. Many of our elect are still in these cities, and will remain even until we destroy these cities. Some of these elect will perish, but most will be spared, even as was Rahab and her father's household who dwelt in Jericho (see Joshua 6:25). Just as clearly as the destroying armies of Joshua saw the scarlet thread in the window, and spared Rahab and her household, so clearly will the angel of destruction see our elect having the corona flame about them in their bodies, and spare them in the destructions coming to their cities. This will then fulfill the scripture in D&C 45:32, where the people around these spared elect will curse God and die, while the elect stand in holy places.'

I was kneeling before my majestic Heavenly Father in the air above this wicked city. I then saw below us, an angel of destruction come also above the city, and raise his right arm in the air. The power and strength of the Father then came into and passed through this angel to the city and its inhabitants. Great destruction and death came to those in this city, even to their utter destruction. I saw that S's words in his email that the large earthquakes "will remove large numbers of (God's) children from the face of the earth."

I saw other cities of our land also being destroyed. Heavenly Father took me higher above the land, so I could see the curvature of the earth, and the United States below me. I saw flashes of light around the land, in populated areas primarily. It was nighttime.

Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, these flashes of light are the wicked cities of your own land that are being destroyed, for they have reached a high level of wickedness, even as Sodom and Gomorrah were wicked. We will spare the righteous mostly who dwell in those cities, but the wicked will perish in large numbers.

When S saw that the light and glory of my presence destroyed him and the tree of life, this was representative of what will happen to these cities and the wicked. I will cleanse your land, and then the entire world, of all who are telestial, and spare the terrestrial elect whom I have chosen.

At a future day, in the millennium, my righteous shall enlarge the places of their habitations, and inherit some parts of these desolated cities:

Isaiah 54:2-3-

"Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes.

For thou shalt break forth on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited." (see also 3 Nephi 22:2-3)

I faced my Heavenly Father who was no longer full of intense fire and indignation. I spoke: 'My Father, I thank you for the confirming vision of what S saw, and more. I pray for the safety and well-being of your elect scattered on the earth. I pray that I may be able to protect them, for I know I have been replicated many times over, and stand as a sentinel or guard over them, even with my sword of Raphael unsheathed (see my post 151B26-151B31). May I help in preserving them also during the days of destruction coming upon the wicked, that these, your elect, may largely be protected and saved, even in their mortal bodies?'

Heavenly Father smiled and spoke: 'Raphael, you will protect and spare all of the elect that we inspire you to save from the destructions around them! You are already in place among each of our elect, in your replicated bodies, in the celestial realms on the earth. Protect them with my power that I have given to you with your sword of Raphael. Extend your sword of protection above these elect that I tell you to spare, and I will spare them, even as Rahab in Jericho. They will then be allowed to inhabit our new millennial earth, filled with others of my elect that I have chosen.

For those few elect who are not spared, I do this for my own purposes, that they may minister to me in the paradise of God in the world of the spirit dead.'

I bowed my head and thanked my Father for granting me my request! I said I loved him, and would serve him faithfully as he and Heavenly Mother would direct me.

My vision ended, and I found myself writing the conclusion of this morning's prayer in my journal. I closed in the name of Jesus Christ, the mighty King in Zion."

Genesis 28:12-15
12 And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.

13 And, behold, the Lord stood above it, and said, I am the Lord God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed;

14 And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.

15 And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.

196L16-196L25: "I have been thinking over what I shared with my group I am walking with to the New Jerusalem. I thought that each group that journeys to Zion should allow time for each one to quietly meditate and pray, morning and evening.

I came to the area above my group that were camped for the night on the terrestrial physical earth. I asked for my Heavenly Mother to come. She appeared in subdued tones, and said that we should visit my camp of fellow trekkers.

We walked around the camp on the ground. I saw that I was sleeping under the stars in a sleeping bag and on a pad. I was not far from the others. It seemed all of us were exhausted from the day's journey.

Heavenly Mother spoke: 'Raphael, at the end of your travels today, you walked near the camp and knelt on the ground. You asked me if I would create a pool of water from which you might replenish your water supplies, and afterwards bathe in. I did so, creating a water hold of about 30 feet across. You told the others what God had done in answering your prayer, and everyone was so elated. After replenishing their supplies, you each took turns bathing. You were the last one doing so. Your sleeping bag is near the water hole. Come see!'

We walked about 50 feet from my sleeping bag and found the water hole. Heavenly Mother said she would then make it disappear, for we had thoroughly used it. She said she would provide such a watering area whenever we wished, by us praying to her. She suggested I teach the others to pray in faith, so that she could do this for them too. I said I would do so, if I could communicate with my replicated sleeping self. She said she would prompt me when I would awaken, in my morning prayer.

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her visit, and for her miracle for our little group of twenty souls.

Heavenly Mother spoke again: 'Raphael, your father Jacob slept in a desert place, putting rocks under his head as a pillow. He dreamed a dream of a ladder reaching to heaven, with angels ascending and descending on it. (see Genesis 28:12). We will protect our elect, and keep them safe, and provide for them, even as we did for Jacob

Genesis 28:15

"And behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; (of Zion, where you desire to travel to) for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of." (words in parentheses added by Heavenly Mother).

I thought this was a wonderful promise to all of the elect who would travel to Zion! God will guide them carefully, and prepare the way before them, and keep them safe.

She departed and I closed my prayer."

The everlasting hills include the Wasatch Mountains in Utah. On March 22nd, 2024, I was told by Heavenly Father that these mountains would remain during the transition from the telestial mortal earth to the terrestrial mortal earth (see my notes in Isaiah 2:2). The same structure of these specific mountains and valleys would remain the same. In other areas on the earth, many the valleys would become mountains, and the mountains become valleys (see Isaiah 40:4: "Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain:

And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.")

April 20, 2024: Yesterday in prayer, I asked why the everlasting hills are everlasting? I had the distinct impression that they are everlasting since they were created in each of the telestial, terrestrial and celestial realms on the earth in the day of creation. They are all superimposed on each other now, even on the physical earth, in each of these physical realms.

When Jesus comes to the earth in his glorious second coming, these telestial mountains will not flow down at his presence, but will transition to the terrestrial everlasting hills, all looking the same configuration or shape as before. When the telestial earth is destroyed and gone, the terrestrial earth will still have these same everlasting hills. When the earth dies, and the terrestrial earth is consumed, these everlasting hills will still be there and have the same geography when the celestial earth is resurrected. This is why they are called "everlasting".

These hills extend from current South American to North America, even on the eternal celestial resurrected earth. In our area at this time, they are called the Rocky Mountains and the Wasatch Front. This too is where my own eternal inheritance will be located, right here next to these everlasting hills in the area I now live in!

April 16, 2024, in prayer I asked the Father, who was before me on the high mountaintop on the celestial orb, that he change our ___ acres of land, and the water that comes from our well and the irrigation water that flows into our pipes underground and out to our garden, orchard and berries, to all be transitioned to terrestrial. I prayed that the land become terrestrial, and the water to be terrestrial. I asked him in prayer in faith as I felt inspired, as I saw him before me.

Here is what he said to me, in my mind, that I felt I needed to immediately write down:

"Raphael, because you have asked me, I will now transition your telestial land, water and plants to a terrestrial state. The land will change to be terrestrial mortal land, and will bring forth in more abundance. The water will become terrestrial living water. The plants will thrive and become terrestrial. The fruits and vegetables that you grow on your land will transition to terrestrial foods, which will greatly feed and nourish your terrestrial bodies. This will all occur before the second coming of Jesus Christ to the earth.

In addition, the food that you buy, and the remedies that you purchase and bring into your home, will I also change to terrestrial food and remedies. These will greatly enhance, nourish and feed your body and those of your wife and son who live with you. This will change each one of you in your vitality and strength.

I will do this great thing because you are my choice servant and elect, and have asked it of me! I will also preserve your area, including the mountains and lands, to transition from a telestial to a terrestrial land, once the millennium begins and the telestial earth is destroyed. In addition, your land and surrounding area will be transitioned and preserved to become like a garden of Eden in the day of the millennium, when all is terrestrial."

April 20, 2024
Earlier this week (see my entry above on April 16, 2024), I received this remarkable revelation from my Heavenly Father: our __ acre property, here in Utah County, Utah, will change to a terrestrial land, transitioning from a telestial land. This change will occur within one week!

This promise from the Father will also change the telestial water to terrestrial living water, both for the well water coming up from our underground aquifir (our drinking water), and from the irrigation water coming down the pipes in the summer to water our land. This change will be for every portion of our ___ acres, including our house and its contents, our lawn, garden, orchard, berries, flower beds and pasture. The food we grow here will be terrestrial living food. The food and remedies we buy and bring here will also transition quickly, within hours, from telestial to terrestrial food and remedies.

Once Jesus Christ comes in his glory, this land will still be our land, with our house and growing areas. All will be preserved from the fire of Christ's coming since it will already have been transitioned to a terrestrial physical realm. It will be our inheritance in the millennium on which to live and work on when we wish. We will also have a residence in the New Jerusalem city throughout the millennium. This ___ acres will all transition to a garden of Eden type of environment once the millennium begins, with great beauty and blessings everywhere.

This promise and additional details I confirmed again today in my prayer that would surely happen. The day of transition will be final by tomorrow evening, April 21, 2024! This is five full days since the promise from my Heavenly Father was first given.

See also my notes in Isaiah 2:2 about the preservation of the Book of Raphael.

April 22, 2024, Monday: Yesterday the promise was fulfilled of changing all that is on my property to a terrestrial state from a telestial state. I confirmed this will Heavenly Mother right after midnight, early this morning. I also confirmed it with my Heavenly Father this morning after I awoke from sleep. This change occurred yesterday on Sunday in the evening.

I feel so deeply grateful for this remarkable blessing in our lives! I also confirmed that my wife and son living with me were both terrestrial mortal beings, having been recently also changed from telestial mortal beings. This is part of the Father's plan to gather his elect into safe garners.

I prayed for protection of us while living on this land. Here is what I received this morning from my Heavenly Father in prayer, who asked that I write his words:

"Raphael, while you are living in your house and on your property, that is now changed to a terrestrial state, I will protect you, your wife and son from any aggressive person or persons. They will not be able to harm you or take you off your property against your will. Were they to attempt this, I will send my angels to hinder them in their attempts (D&C 84:42 ". . .even I have given the heavenly hosts and mine angels charge concerning you."). You will also have my power to replicate in your celestial translated being and prevent your enemies from doing you harm or removing you, according to your intentions.

Also, while you are outside of your property, I will also protect you against anyone who may wish to do you, your wife and or your son harm. You will always be able to return safely to your own property, for it is a holy place, even as declared in D&C 45:32: "But my disciples shall stand in holy places, and shall not be moved; but among the wicked, men shall lift up their voices and curse God and die."

In the future, were you to invite or bring others of my elect, according to the Spirit's promptings, who are seeking refuge onto your land, they too will have this same protection."

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his very comforting words! I felt confirmation that I had written what he wanted me to write correctly.

Wednesday, April 24, 2024: I prayed on Monday evening about the meal out that A. and I ate in Lehi, Utah. I wondered if that food was also somehow changed to be terrestrial food, even though we were both outside of our ___ acres of land in Utah County.

I received the distinct impression that this food had all been changed when we ate it to be terrestrial food and terrestrial living water, after I had offered the blessing on this food. I further felt that anywhere we ate and drank on our planet, the food and drink would all be changed to a terrestrial nature, as long as we offered a heart-felt prayer and blessing on it.

What a blessing this is! I further confirmed this in prayer this morning.

Later today, I was in a hyperbaric chamber for my health therapy and had a prayer with my Heavenly Father. I asked him if the treatments I receive in the telestial world outside of my home, like hyperbaric treatments, muscle work, exercise therapy, doctor visits and procedures/operations and such would be just as effective for me, as if done on my terrestrial property or in the mortal terrestrial realm on the earth. In prayer I felt clearly that all such treatments would be effectively terrestrial treatments for my wife, son and me, even though done in the telestial realm on the earth. The benefit of these treatments would be enhanced from a telestial level to terrestrial level.

I felt this was another great blessing that I received and confirmed today. In my evening prayer, I also confirmed that what I had received in this revelation was true and from my Heavenly Father.

April 26, 2024: I received a renewed glorious blessing this morning in my prayer from my Heavenly Father! See my notes in Isaiah 38:1 where Heavenly Father renewed the promised blessing of health and healing, found in 197I12, from Heavenly Mother:

"When you arrive with your family at the New Jerusalem in September 2021, the overall health and physical wellbeing of all three of you will greatly increase in strength and vitality. Your brain injured son will quickly find healing and stabilization. This will finally be the blessing of normalcy which you all have been seeking."

Here is what I interjected into my journal entry notes found in Isaiah 38:1:

I read the above this morning on April 26, 2024, now that I have remained in the telestial mortal world for 2 1/2 years. I recently also received a promise from my Heavenly Father that our ___ acre property would be changed from a telestial mortal state to a terrestrial mortal state (see my notes in Genesis 49:26). This has now all occurred, according to the answers to my prayers.

I then wondered this morning whether the blessings of now being in a terrestrial world, that are mentioned in the promise above, of increased strength and vitality, and of the healing of my injured son, would occur soon, for we are now living in a terrestrial realm here on our property. I asked for my Heavenly Father for his enlightenment, and whether this promise would now begin to be fulfilled.

Here is what I felt to write, in my own words but directly from Heavenly Father to my mind, even as I typed this:

"Raphael, your Heavenly Mother and I had extended to you, your wife and your son the promise of increased health, vitality and healing in June 2021. Just before you were to come to the New Jerusalem together with them, you and your wife came before us in the Spirit and asked of us to allow you to stay behind in your telestial mortal world, so that you could help your loved ones in the trials of the last days events leading up to the second coming of Jesus Christ. You would then come to the New Jerusalem after the second coming of Jesus Christ. Your Heavenly Mother and I agreed to allow you to stay behind at that time. This is why you have not come to the New Jerusalem earlier as we had promised you.

Now that your ___ acre property is changed to a terrestrial state, it is in the same state of glory as that of the New Jerusalem where you would have come in September 2021. Your property is, however, not yet all transitioned to this terrestrial state as is the New Jerusalem area. You also are eating and drinking terrestrial food and living water, just as you would have done in the New Jerusalem. Raphael, you also are replicated there in Zion, in your translated celestial being, even while you are living with your family in your home and property.

Your Heavenly Mother and I are very pleased to now extend to you, to your wife and to your son the same promised blessing of health and strength that your Heavenly Mother gave to you and that you wrote down on Monday, June 21, 2021
in your post 197. All of these promises will be extended to you three while living in your mortal life, prior to the second coming of Jesus Christ! We will extend this great blessing to you gradually over the months ahead. All of these blessing we will give you because of your continued faithfulness to us, your Heavenly Parents!]

See also my notes in D&C 45:70, Isaiah 2:2, and D&C 101:65.

April 28, 2024: Last night I had my prayer after midnight. I was very tired from the day. However, when I went to visualize my Heavenly Mother which I normally do in my evening prayer, I perceived Heavenly Father, Heavenly Mother and Jesus Christ before me. They were all three standing in the opening of the little forest where I first was introduced to the sacrament with my seven brothers, before the others were born in the premortal life.

I asked why they all came to me tonight. Heavenly Father spoke, but I was too tired to really hear what he was saying--I tried to understand, but wasn't able to do so. I closed my prayer and went to bed. He had said something about my ___ acre property, and the terrestrial change.

This morning, after my early scripture study, I came again to the same area on the celestial orb as last night. All three of my Gods were there still. Heavenly Mother then spoke to me.

She said that our ___ acres will be a place not only to live, for us three in my immediate family, but also for their terrestrial servants who labor on the other side in the terrestrial realms. They will frequently come to this property to gather, rest and recuperate from their labors. They won't appear to us in the flesh, but will remain hidden like they are able to do from the telestial world. They will also eat of the food in our garden, orchard and berries, and drink of our terrestrial living well water. When they eat, the fruit and vegetables from these plants will be immediately replenished so that we won't notice that any was anything eaten. This will be a great blessing to them, in a terrestrial world which is barren for vast areas around us. Our ___ acres will be like an oasis for them in which to rest and recuperate from their labors. Currently there are no other terrestrial mortal locations on the earth that are growing and flourishing between these ___ acres and the New Jerusalem island with its immediate surroundings. These barren areas will all become a wonderful place after the millennium begins, and once the elect populate the land.

I felt very happy that our ___ acres will be a stopping off and resting area for those in the terrestrial world who are laboring for the souls of men and women! I thanked my Heavenly Parents and Jesus for this blessing that they are affording me!

My questions, answered by Heavenly Father: Q: Will my immediate family, extended family, neighbors or friends notice that our property is any different from others in our area? A: Most people will never know, although the spiritually astute may realize that something is different about your property.

Q: Why wouldn't we who live here, who are also terrestrial, see those others who are also terrestrial mortals who will come and rest on our property? A: Just as there is a visual separation between the mortal terrestrial elect and those who are dead, living in the terrestrial world of the spirits, so will I create a similar separation on your property. I will make those terrestrial mortals on the earth, in your family and neighbors, not be able to view those who are ordained terrestrial servants with a latter-day mission to help and protect the elect. Their mission is to mostly remain unseen in their service to our elect on the earth. They may, however, appear to those on the earth according to the requirements of their mission as Jesus inspires them. When they stop and rest on your property, they will generally keep to themselves and not be able to view or intermingle with your family and neighbors.

Remember Raphael, that your Heavenly Mother and I may do whatever we want to do in any regard with our children, according with our own law and order. We may command or revoke whatever we desire about our plans at any time, and they will be followed.

Q: Will our fruit and vegetables be significantly bigger and more nutritious this coming 2024 summer than ever before? A: Yes. Most of it will be bigger, and all will be about ten times more nutrituous for your bodies than in previous years.

Q: Will we be able to heal our ailments by eating this fresh food, by preserving it and using it the following non-growing months. A: Yes! You will be able to mostly heal your physical bodies and your minds by just eating. Your vitality will also increase as you eat this terrestrial food and drink this terrestrial water. Some conditions in your physical body will require specific remedies to heal, but all will be possible from the increased strength of your terrestrial food and remedies grown on your terrestrial land.

Q: Will the food and remedies that we buy or receive onto our property have increased vitality when these come into our property? A: Yes, these will increase about five times what they were before. They will not, however, be as strong, vital and healthy as the food grown on your own terrestrial land and from your living terrestrial water.

Q: Are there other areas between our ___ acres and the New Jerusalem that will be transformed into terrestrial mortal earth, prior to the second coming of Jesus Christ. A: No, besides the New Jerusalem area, your land will be the only terrestrial land that will have been long changed from the telestial earth. There will also be residences of our faithful elect whose properties will transition to terrestrial mortal earth just before the second coming of Jesus Christ. [Later: when reading 3 Nephi 22:3, I asked more about this issues. I was told that there would be only a handful of the elect who would have their residences transitioned from the telestial to the terrestrial earth. See my notes in 3 Nephi 22:3 for more information.]

Q: Will we be able to approach the state of the garden of Eden on our land as we apply ourselves in being wise stewards on the land, according the the inspirations of God? A: Yes! As you apply yourself as a wise steward over your land, and seek to improve your soil health and vitality, it will improve over the next few years. The plants will thrive and produce more abundantly as you do so. The garden of Eden soil was virgin soil on a brand new prepared earth, whereas your soil has been depleted over the years. You need to continue to wisely amend the soil to approach the terrestrial soil condition as it was at the beginning of the earth. [See my more recent note in D&C 76:71 where I elaborate more on this topic.]

Q: As my wife and I study the missions and purposes of the new terrestrial plants and remedies that we will be able to grow and purchase, will we find new ways to use these to heal and strength our bodies? A: Yes, practically all plants and remedies have additional strengths and abilities to heal the body in their terrestrial state over their telestial state. Be open to our Spirit and we will teach you how to be wise stewards in the use of these foods and remedies. Generally the strongest plants and remedies you will use will be those grown on your own land.

May 6, 2024: Yesterday I listened to and read again my notes from April 7, 2024 about aging:

". . . As a result, you have remained on the telestial earth these past 2 1/2 years since that time. We have allowed your body to continue to age, and for you to receive additional very valuable mortal experiences. You have had more physical breakdowns in your body since 2021. Raphael, even though you might remain on this earth until ninety years old or older, you will continue to age. The seeds of your death however, have all been removed at the time of your translation in 2013. Your aging will continue until you are caught up in the clouds of heaven with Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son, during his glorious second coming to the earth.

When you descend with Christ to the new terrestrial earth at his second coming, you will start eating terrestrial food, and drinking terrestrial living water. This change of food and drink in your body will start reversing your aging process, and gradually return you back to the age of seventy years old when your aging was previously going to stop. In the millennium, you will appear to people as a seasoned older man of seventy years old. In your physical terrestrial body, you will become again at the age of seventy in vitality and strength."

I heard that once I was to partake of terrestrial food and living terrestrial water, that my aging would start reversing, and that I would gradually return back to the age of seventy years.

Also, on April 26th, 2024, I received the following promise because our ___ acres were changed from telestial to terrestrial land, and our well water water was changed to terrestrial living water:

"Your Heavenly Mother and I are very pleased to now extend to you, to your wife and to your son the same promised blessing of health and strength that your Heavenly Mother gave to you and that you wrote down on Monday, June 21, 2021
in your post 197. All of these promises will be extended to you three while living in your mortal life, prior to the second coming of Jesus Christ! We will extend this great blessing to you gradually over the months ahead. All of these blessing we will give you because of your continued faithfulness to us, your Heavenly Parents!"

Since I am now eating terrestrial food, and drinking terrestrial water, I prayed whether my aging would now also start reversing, just like my vitality and strength would now start improving.

Last night I received the confirmation from my Heavenly Mother that my aging would now start reversing, even until I was to return to that age of a seventy year old man. I felt that this would be gradual, one year reversed for every year in the future. When finished with this reverse aging process, I would become effectively newly seventy years old again! I felt that the promise of reverse aging would also take me to the beginning when I turned seventy years old on my seventyth birthday.

I am now seventy three years and two months four days old. It was about three years and two months ago when I turned seventy years old. Therefore, in about three years and two months from now, I will return to my age of just turning seventy years old! This would be when I chronologically would turn seventy-six years and four months old, or in the first part of July of 2027. I believe at that time my reverse aging process will end, and I will effectively remain at the age of seventy years old.

I know this seems like a lot of number and day calculations, but this gives me a good idea of when this reverse aging will end, and when my vitality and strength will reach its limit in the future.

I confirmed in prayer just now, with my Heavenly Father, that my reversing aging, and increased vitality and strength will end in the first of July, 2027. I will then remain at this effective age of just seventy years old for the entire millennium.

Here is what I felt I received from my Heavenly Father in prayer this morning:

"Raphael, you have correctly written your understanding of what we will do for you over the next three years and two months. At the beginning of July, 2027, you will effectively be seventy years old in age, vitality and strength. The physical effects of aging over these past several years will be reversed. The past few years will have given you much greater understanding and empathy for those who are in the older stages of life, with the breakdown of their bodies as they approach death. This valuable experience will remain with you from now on.

Your Heavenly Mother and I are very pleased to make these gradual changes in your physical body. In addition, we will enliven your mind so that all signs of dementia and memory loss are also reversed over this same time period. However, we expect that you keep applying the remedies and procedures we have inspired you to do to help effect this change. This will be doing your part, or all that you can do to affect this change in your body and mind. We will then do our part to make these changes permanent at the end of this transition time period. [See my comments below in this note under May 30, 2024.]

At the end of the millennium, at the appointed time, your body will die and be changed in the twinkling of an eye to a glorious celestial resurrected man. You will not age prior to your death, for we will keep your vitality and strength in your mortal body and mind strong until the end of your days."

I thanked my Heavenly Father for this great final promised that he and Heavenly Mother have extended to me! I look forward to a strengthened body and mind. What a great blessing!

May 9, 2024: Everyday I use shielding cloth or a shielding bag (faraday cage) to protect my computer, phone and valuable electronics in my room. I have been thinking this morning about the terrestrial and telestial world in which I live. It then occurred to me that since our property is in the terrestrial mortal realm, that it should be protected from lightning EMP or nuclear EMP, or nuclear fallout that may occur in my neighboring telestial world. I immediately felt a confirmation that this was true!

I then prayed in my mind to my Heavenly Mother who was before me. I had prayed that Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother be with me this morning, in spirit and in their very persons. I had asked that they give me inspiration and revelation throughout the day as they deemed needed.

I asked my Heavenly Mother for her direction on this topic, into my mind, so that I could record it here with a similar topic. Here is her response, written in my own words:

"Raphael, this inspiration and thought this morning has truly come to you from me, your Heavenly Mother. Were there to be a nuclear bomb that would cause an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) or nuclear fallout in your area, or any lightning EMP, it would come in the telestial mortal world. It would not come in the terrestrial mortal world of your ___ acres. The air, clouds and heavens above your property, and the soil, rock and earth below your property, and everything on your ___ acres of land will be protected from anything that may happen in the telestial mortal world. While the lands around you may have contamination from war and disasters that occurs in the telestial world, your property and inhabitants will be unaffected by it. Even the rains that pass by will become terrestrial when they fall upon your land, whereas they will be telestial when they fall on adjacent lands. Any rains or winds that may be contaminated in the telestial world will no longer be contaminated when changed into your rains or winds on your terrestrial property."

May 30, 2024: I have been actively trying to improve my physical body strength and vitality. I have two issues that bother me more and more:

First, my right hip is arthritic, and causes me to often limp in pain. I try to continue my same activity I'm used to, but it is increasingly more difficult. My one doctor says I should consider a hip replacement surgery, which I am not willing yet to consider.

Instead of surgery like most in my society do with my condition, I have started taking remedies like collagen from beef, brocholi sprouts, hyperbaric oxygen treatments (done with A. about 2-3 times per week at 15 psi for an hour each session), betonite clay, comfrey and caster oil packs in my hip area, using my rebounder daily as well as targeted exercises for hip mobility, change of my diet to D's anti-inflammation and anti-leaky gut diet, and other remedies. This week on May 28th I was injected with 2 cc of stem cells (from umbilical cord blood of caesarian births from donor mothers in Utah) in in my hip joint. I have read that this new procedure can rebuild hip cartilage. It is supposed to be enhanced by the use of hyperbaric oxygen treatments (30 or more sessions) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections which I have scheduled for 30 days and 60 days from my stem cell treatment.

While receiving my stem cells two days ago, I saw my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother in the air in front of me, in my mind's eye. This was very comforting to me. I had repeatedly asked them if this was a treatment I should do, and received repeatedly an extremely strong prompting to proceed. It was expensive to do, but I felt continual support to proceed from my Heavenly Parents.

I am hopeful that my hip can be healed with the blessings of my Heavenly Parents, and all of the effort I myself am doing to correct my condition. I feel that if I don't do all I can, how can I claim a blessing from God? I subscribe to this counsel from Brigham Young:

"If we are sick, and ask the Lord to heal us, and to do all for us that is necessary to be done, according to my understanding of the Gospel of salvation, I might as well ask the Lord to cause my wheat and corn to grow, without my plowing the ground and casting in the seed. It appears consistent to me to apply every remedy that comes within the range of my knowledge, and to ask my Father in heaven, in the name of Jesus Christ, to sanctify that application to the healing of my body; to another this may appear inconsistent." (Journal of Discourses, 4:24-26; 10:293).

Second, I am dealing with is signs of early dementia. The hyperbaric oxygen treatments and diet changes are supposed to directly correct this condition that seems to worsen year by year. I am open to new approaches too that I may use to correct this memory and mental clarity issues. I am praying for more understanding often, and trust that God will help me as I seek to correct this in my own body. I also pray that drinking living terrestrial water and food each day will help correct this dementia problem.

See also my notes in D&C 45:56-59.

June 30, 2024: I am in my scripture study this early Sabbath day. Both my wife and I are having experiences with the affects of aging. We are tired and need to rest after a few hours of work. When we have dental or medical procedures done on us, we heal slower than when we were young, and it sets us back for a week or so. This happened when my wife had all of her mercury amalgam removed by the dentist recently. It also happened when I received a PRP (platlette rich plasma) injected into my hip joint recently. We do not rebound to our normal health levels as quickly as we used to.

The past few days I have been mulling over what might happen to my wife D in the near future: will she continue to degrade in her health? I have received promises of translation and living into and through the millennium in my mortal, translated state. However, what of her? I yearn to have her as my companion throughout my time that I will remain alive on the earth.

This morning in my scripture study, I felt the nudge to address this issue about the state of my wife with my Heavenly Mother. I felt my Heavenly Mother was near to me, and would answer my concerns and request that D remain with me during the entire millennium, and the transition days until the second coming of Jesus Christ. I have faith that Heavenly Mother will answer my request this morning. I will write now her words to me, even as she is next to me:

"Raphael, this is your Heavenly Mother in front of you, next to your Heavenly Father. You have recently come to both your Heavenly Father and me in your replicated celestial being, asking of us what our plans are for your wonderful wife D as she ages. She has been a very faithful companion to you, and has immensely helped you become a righteous and kindly man, filled with the love of God. We love her deeply, and have great plans for her happiness and well-being, and your joys together as a married couple.

Your Heavenly Father and I will allow her to continue to age, to give her experience that will be important for her understanding in the eternal worlds in her future. However, there will be a time before the second coming of Jesus Christ, that she too, like you, will be translated to a celestial glory, and find great rejuvenation in the health and well-being of her physical mortal body. Until that time, you will have the privilege of caring for her as she experiences the normal aging process of mortality. Your own vitality and age will return to a seventy-year old man as we have previously explained to you.

In not many years, you both will have celestial translated bodies, and will have the renewal of your mortal, physical bodies! She too will gradually return to the age of a seventy year old woman in her vitality and energy, and in her mental acuity and memory. In her mortal body, she will be the effective age of seventy years old, both in looks and strength. However, her beauty and spirit will continue to increase as she shines forth her love and blessings upon you and those around her.

Both of you will be revered throughout the millennial day, and will become very wise and full of understanding. Many will seek counsel from both of you, for your understanding of many things will be great. You will find great joy in the people in your lives, and continue to love growing plants of all varieties, as is your current shared interest.

In this state, you both will enjoy the companionship of each other during the entire millennium. You will each have enough vitality and strength to do your work, and to spread love and cheer across your terrestrial earth. You will find great comfort and joy in being together during your mortal lives, and into eternity. You will both have great influence, not only in your extended family who will come and go during the process of their earthly lives, but among all the faithful. You will become an example of a loving and happy couple to those across the terrestrial earth.

Raphael, we extend this great blessing and promise to your wife D, and to you. You are both our elect children, and will progress in time to receive your exaltation and eternal lives as couple Gods in eternity. We are very pleased with the choices that you have made in life, and your great desires to please us and to keep our commandments. We extend to both D and you our greatest gifts and blessings. Oh, we love you and D so very much!"

I thanked my Heavenly Mother and my Heavenly Father for this great, great blessing to us! I feel so comforted, loved and cared about! I feel their great love and acceptance of my loving wife. I prayed in my mind whether all that I wrote was accurate and truly from her, my Heavenly Mother. I felt assured that she was please with what I wrote, and that it was all from her.

July 18, 2024: I wondered how the superimposed terrestrial and celestial realms are on the telestial earth, all in the physical sphere? I wondered if they are generally exactly coincident, or within inches or feet of each other?

I humble prayer to my Heavenly Father, here are the impressions of my heart in answer to this question, from my Heavenly Father:

"Raphael, on your own ___ acre land, the land has been changed to terrestrial land. Where this land meets your road, and other adjoining properties, the surrounding telestial land is exactly at the same level. This transition is not distinguishable by man except one who is enlightened by the Spirit of God.

Elsewhere in Utah and along the Wasatch Front mountains, both telestial and terrestrial realms are similarly exactly coincident with each other. This also includes the celestial realm on the earth, for it is also exactly coincident (occupying the same space and with the same level ground elevation) with the other two realms in this area of the everlasting hills.

There are other areas across the earth where the gap between the telestial earth and the terrestrial earth are large and are not coincident. When the shift with the telestial and terrestrial rock layers occurs [R here: see my notes in Moses 3:6-9 dated May 1-2, 2024 where Heavenly Father talks about the switching between the telestial and terrestrial physical realms at the second coming of Jesus Christ], there will be much commotion and destruction because of an exceedingly large earthquake, resulting from this switch. The terrestrial rock foundation will merge with the upper terrestrial soil and rock layers on the new earth.

[R here: from my notes in Moses 3:6-9, from Heavenly Father: "These current telestial soil layers will be changed to terrestrial soil, and will be merged with the underlying terrestrial foundations, just prior to the second coming of Jesus. What will remain of the telestial to be consumed will be the telestial foundational rock. Some cities, manmade structures and sections of the telestial earth will also be consumed, but the rich soil deposits, both topsoil, subsoil, coal deposits, sand, dirt and many minerals, will all be transitioned into the terrestrial physical earth. These will greatly enhance the livability of the new terrestrial millennial world."]

This great change on the earth will be accompanied by the convulsing of the terrestrial earth in this transition. The underlying telestial rock foundation will melt and be burned with fervent heat. This fire and heat will not affect the terrestrial earth, for it is in a different realm. When all is settled, the physical telestial earth will have been destroyed so that it is entirely removed from the earth. The terrestrial earth will be a lovely place for those in the clouds of heaven with Jesus Christ to descend to and soon inhabit.

This will be the fulfilling of the prophecies that at the second coming of Jesus Christ, when there will be much upheaval on the earth. This is when every valley shall be made low (see Isaiah 40:4), the elements will melt with fervent heat (see D&C 101:45), and the mountains will flow down at the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ (see D&C 133:40)."

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his wonderful and clarifying words to me this morning! I confirmed that what I had written is of my Heavenly Father and not of me.

Exodus 12:13
13 And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.

170D19-170D27: "Heavenly Father then replied:

'Raphael, we will protect your electrical items you have mentioned, and will place our protection upon them. We will help you produce your own electric power. We will inspire you to continue to protect your electronic devices and motors, so that you may do all you can do within your ability and time. We will protect all.

We extend this same protection to every one of our children who petition us as you have done tonight. They too need to find their own source of electric power to operate their own appliances, motors, and electronics they desire. They too need to do all they can do to prepare for these things, even as you have done.'

I profusely thanked my Heavenly Parents for their great blessing of protection they have offered to others and me! I said I would continue to diligently work on these preparedness items.

This all reminded me of the children of Israel who marked their door posts with the lamb's blood, so that the angel of death would not come upon their household.

Exodus 12:13

"And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt."

It is interesting that Isaiah uses Egypt as the code word for the modern-day nation of the United States of America. This promise, done anciently by God, will be done again to those who sincerely petition God for protection against the devouring fire coming our way in the form of an EMP high altitude blast.

I then prayed to my Heavenly Parents that they would protect all those who call upon them for such a great blessing, if they have adequately prepared for this day of destruction.

Heavenly Mother replied: 'Raphael, we will protect those who humbly petition us for this EMP protection. We will inspire them to pray to us for their household and home against the enemy, and against these destructions soon to come upon them.'

I thanked my Heavenly Mother and Heavenly Father for their gracious blessings they will extend to us! I said I felt great relief for this protection they will extend to us."

Exodus 13:21-22
21 And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night:

22 He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people.

177F13, from S: "S's email entitled "Guided by light", 11-3-2020

"R,

Last night I prayed and received insights into our travels. I had not considered receiving guidance towards Zion in this way beforehand. Months ago I had pondered on the lands being disrupted from earthquakes, Nibiru etc. and thinking a regular map might be insufficient. I was directed to study in my morning scriptures today to look for similar accounts of this guidance. I am always amazed at how much the scriptures contain that shed new light on your own situation when you apply the scriptures to yourself.

Here is my prayer from last night and afterwards I share the scriptures I found and pondered this morning.

11/2/20 PM

In prayer, I came to the fountain of living water and it was nighttime. The moon was out and its reflection glowed upon the water's surface. Heavenly Mother appeared with a soft glow of light radiating from her being as she stood in the air above me. She spoke, ' You do not see into the hearts, rooms and houses of our children throughout your nation. There are many actions transpiring daily that would bring great pain to your heart and soul. We see all these evil works and the great destruction soon pending to be released upon your nation will cause the cries of the defenseless and pure children to cease before our ears. All that lack light will be cut off among the people. The light of Christ will dwell in the hearts and minds of those who eventually remain. There will be a literal light from Christ that will direct your path to Zion and lead the way. This will become more prominent as the faith and knowledge of your group grows as you travel. This light will be similar to what you read in Visions of Glory. Search the scriptures tomorrow in your study for similar occurrences recorded by our prophets.' To my mind's eye I then saw a light directly in front of us directing the way on our journey to Zion.

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her message and closed my prayer in Jesus' name.

Ether 2: 5

"And it came to pass that the Lord commanded them that they should go forth into the wilderness, yea, into that quarter where there never had man been. And it came to pass that the Lord did go before them, and did talk with them as he stood in a cloud, and gave directions whither they should travel."

Exodus 13: 21 -22

"And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night:

He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people."

I would appreciate your thoughts on the matter,

Your friend, S""

Exodus 32:4-10
4 And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

5 And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To morrow is a feast to the Lord.

6 And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.

7 And the Lord said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves:

8 They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

9 And the Lord said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:

10 Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation.

186C2-186C11: "I came this morning to the top of the switchback path. I knelt facing the lake below me to the east. I then asked for my Heavenly Father to come to me in answer to my prayer request.

He immediately appeared in front of me. He was before me, but it was not easy for me to see his face for some reason. This bothered me. I asked him why I couldn't make out his face and his being before me this morning.

He spoke to my mind: 'Raphael, I am in my anger and wish not for you to see my face. I am not angry with you. I may choose the level of clarity with which you are able to see me, and I choose this morning to not reveal myself.'

I then thought of the time that Jesus had appeared to Moses on the holy mountain of Sinai when he was receiving the laws of God. The people had corrupted themselves by fashioning a golden calf. The people had said of the golden calf:

"These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt."

(Exodus 32:4)

The Lord had said to Moses on the mountain:

"Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation."

(Exodus 32:10)

I wondered what would make my Heavenly Father angry that he wouldn't want to show himself to me.

He then departed from my presence. I was left alone on the switchback path. I sat on the ground and wondered if there was anything that I should do.

I then knelt again, and prayed to my Father in Heaven. I asked that he and Heavenly Mother protect their elect, those who are righteous or desire to follow God. I prayed that we, who are favored of God may be guided and succored by them to be preserved and led, even to the day that each would come into Zion. I did not pray for the wicked on the land. I thought these are the ones who have likely brought my Heavenly Father to anger this morning.

I humbly asked for either or both of my Heavenly Parents to be by my side today. I closed my prayer and started my new day.

I received the following email from S.A. when I had mistakenly sent my entry above to her to type up instead of to my sister K. I had asked S.A. to "please pray for the elect again. Let me know if you have any thoughts of why God is angry.":

"Hello R,

I came to the small stream near a forest that I often come to in prayer this morning. I wondered if what I read from R was true, about Heavenly Father being angry. I also wondered why I had seen an American flag in my short family meditation this morning.

I asked for my Heavenly Father to come. I could not see him, but I felt his presence. He spoke: 'My anger is kindled against the inhabitants of your land. We have provided our matchless power in bringing about the establishment of the United States of America, and have prospered and protected your land against any invaders who would overthrow her freedoms and liberties. All we asked in turn, was for the inhabitants of your land to worship us, their true Gods and follow our commandments. Instead, they have rejected us and are filled with hate one towards another. In our fierce anger, we will visit the inhabitants of this land with speedy destruction. Soon your country will be overrun with the occupying force of oppressive foreign troops in the land.'

This is what I received in prayer this morning. I prayed to confirm this message, and that I should share it with you. I hope I recorded his words correctly.

We will continue to watch and wait, without expectations. Have a blessed day!

Warmly, S.A."

I also received this email from my sister K today:

Tonight I wrote this in my journal:

"I prayed for my Heavenly Father to come to me as I knelt by the bubbling spring. Today in prayer, Heavenly Father did not appear to R, and R was told by Heavenly Father that he was angry. R does not know the reason.

Heavenly Father spoke to me. 'I am here but you will not see me. My wrath is for those who take no thought of me and who are in alignment with Satan and his evil acts. These disobedient sons and daughters are committing grievous acts of murder, lies, whoredoms, and are taking away the freedoms of many of our children in numerous countries. Evil is rampant and we will not abide this much longer.

We yearn for our elect to seek us and to show forth faith and good works, obedience and alignment with our will and to seek justice and righteousness in all things. The forces of darkness cover the earth. It will take seeking us, their Gods, in order to be on the side of winning this great war against darkness and evil. We weep for those who are the victims of evil and conspiring men and their despicable acts. We will protect those who come to us and seek us with diligence.

That is all I will speak at this time.'

"Heavenly Father, I pray that I will be strong and faithful and never succumb to the forces of complacency and darkness. Please strengthen me and my loved ones and all thy elect children to take up the sword of thy Spirit and the whole armor of God and be numbered among thy faithful army of righteousness.

I love thee and pray for thy strength, courage and faith.""

Numbers 11:29
29 And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? would God that all the Lord’s people were prophets, and that the Lord would put his spirit upon them!

200F4-200F13: "I received a very remarkable email from S.A. today. She had typed up four pages of my journal, and then prayed about what I had received. I had asked her to let me know what she thought.

Her email was very confirming of what I did in the New Jerusalem temple with the waters of separation ordinance. In the process of talking with Heavenly Father, he told her that in the millennium, the celestial elect will become replicated in celestial glory and receive training from our Heavenly Parents to learn how to become couple gods in eternity. I felt the truth of these ideas right away. What a wonderful mystery was revealed through S.A.. Whether or not the new or future members are in the Church of the Firstborn yet or not, they will all participate in this instruction and schooling from our Heavenly Parents.

I just love getting such great gems of truth from my supportive friends like I received today! This is exactly how it is all supposed to work. God may reveal any truths they want to anyone. I am certainly not the only one who receives such truths and gems from God. I feel like Moses

Numbers 11:29

"…(I) would that all the Lord's people were prophets, and that the Lord would put his Spirit upon them!"

S.A.'s entry is at the end of my journal entry.

I came tonight to the fountain of living water on the New Jerusalem. I knelt several feet from the pool facing north. I asked for my Heavenly Mother to come.

She appeared before me smiling. She spoke: 'Raphael, you have been blessed to receive the truth about our millennial instructions that we will give our members of the Church of the Firstborn, whether members yet or not. S.A. received these truths from Heavenly Father, and wrote correctly what he said. I too rejoice that S.A. and others receive true revelations from us, their Gods. What a blessing to receive these from a few of our elect who are in your small email list! What we say to one we reveal also to the next. These are wonderful blessings to see eye to eye when we bring again Zion!'

Heavenly Mother then departed up into the sky above the glowing fountain. I remained there for awhile, enjoying the glowing beauty of the fountain of living water. I then closed my prayer.

I received this email from S.A. on 7-20-2021:

"Hi R,

I prayed about what I typed up today. Here is my journal entry.

I came in prayer before my Heavenly Father. We were in the New Jerusalem temple, viewing Raphael administering the waters of separation ordinance.

Heavenly Father spoke: 'Your Heavenly Mother and I are full of great joy to have our children, many whom have waited since their mortal probationary state thousands of years ago, to receive their admittance into the Church of the Firstborn. These will become exalted couple gods in eternity!'

I asked what they will do during the millennium after they have been admitted?

Heavenly Father spoke: 'They will receive special training from Heavenly Mother and I in our celestial realm throughout the entire millennium that will prepare them to become couple gods, as we are.'

I then asked what about when those, like Raphael, who are busy working in the temple during the millennium would receive this instruction?

He answered: 'Those of our children like you and Raphael, who are members of the Church of the Firstborn living during the millennium, will be replicated into our celestial realm to receive their training.'

I wondered if the training would be a one-on-one type setting, or if they would train everyone together at the same time.

He spoke: 'Some things will be taught by one or both of us directly to them, while some instruction will be taught in a large congregation setting, or in smaller groups. All is done according to our wisdom and purposes to fully train and prepare each one to become couple gods in eternity!'

I asked if these Church of the Firstborn members could receive this training before they have their names written in the book?

He spoke: 'Yes, we will train them even before they have received of their waters of separation ordinance, for some will not be entered until the end of the millennium. We know all who will enter, and will allow them to enter into our training even before they have been fully admitted, as we see fit.'

I confirmed these things to be written correctly, and thanked my Heavenly Father for answering my questions and teaching me about the training of the couple gods during the millennium! It is all so exciting to me, and I feel so blessed to be able to commune with my Heavenly Parents in prayer! I closed in Jesus' name.

Let me know your thoughts!

Warmly, S.A."

R's email back to S.A.:

"Dear S.A.,

This is great, thank you! I have reread it several times, and the confirming Spirit of my Heavenly Parents as I read. This is certainly a great mystery that Heavenly Father has revealed to you. What great questions you had, and the answers from our God were remarkable I thought. Thank you so much!

Thank you also for taking the time to pray and confirm what I received in administering the waters of separation ordinance. I sometimes feel like a lonely voice, and I so appreciate all you received. The added truths you were given are also so wonderful to me and my spirit!"

Numbers 21:6-9
6 And the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.

7 Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord, and against thee; pray unto the Lord, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.

8 And the Lord said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.

9 And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.

167E1-167E19: "This new morning I came to the fountain of living water on the celestial orb. I drank living water there, and then walked east to the beginning of the road that I had been on with my Heavenly Father on the evening of 7-21-2020. All was beautiful and fully celestial in my view, unlike how the road became telestial in my vision two days ago.

There was a little bank or hill that I came to on the east side of the dirt road, and I sat down. I then looked into my healing seer stone, with intention to commune again with my Heavenly Father.

As I looked, I felt like I was still in the same celestial realm, on this same celestial orb. I realized I was looking in my stone to be trained and taught something important that I needed to know, probably related to how to better navigate in this realm, and how to have great confidence and faith in what I do.

Yesterday morning when I looked into my healing seer stone, I came through a bubble, or a veil, but today I did not feel that sensation. Today, I believe I kept in the same celestial realm I was already in when I looked into my stone.

Anyway, I was in the celestial realm, but not in the same location or time. I felt I was in the past, even before I came into mortality, but after Adam and Eve had already come to the earth, but before Jesus came to the earth. I tried to determine where I was located on this celestial orb, but I was unable to do so. I then knelt on the ground and asked for my Heavenly Father to come.

Heavenly Father then appeared on my left, standing a little in the air above the grass. He was smiling and then spoke: 'Raphael, you looked into your seer stone with the intention to commune with me, your Heavenly Father. You did not specify any time or location in which to come, and so I brought you here according to my will. We are on the celestial orb during the time that Moses was on the earth, trying to teach the people to look to the pole with the image of a fiery serpent on it so that they might be healed from the serpents that bit them.

Numbers 21: 6-9

"And the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.

Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord, and against thee; pray unto the Lord, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.

And the Lord said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.

And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived."

Nephi later would write this about those stubborn people of Israel, when speaking to his rebellious brothers:

1 Nephi 17: 41

"And he did straiten them in the wilderness with his rod; for they hardened their hearts, even as ye have; and the Lord straitened them because of their iniquity. He sent fiery flying serpents among them; and after they were bitten he prepared a way that they might be healed; and the labor which they had to perform was to look; and because of the simpleness of the way, or the easiness of it, there were many who perished."

Raphael, stand with me, and let's go down into the celestial realms on the earth, and witness the camp of Israel at this time!'

I stood and took my Father's hand. We were then in the air above the desert of the eastern wilderness, west of Mount Hor, with Edom to our east. This is where the children of Israel were discouraged because of the rough way, and complained because of no bread nor water (Numbers 21: 4-5). We were looking at the area, and then I saw the venomous snakes come and bite the people. The children of Israel were very complaining, and were lazy, and not obedient to the Lord. They soon realized that they were being bitten by the snakes because of their sins. There were many who died.

I then saw a later scene, when Moses spoke to the people, and brought the brazen serpent on a pole, and told the people to look and be healed. Yet I saw many after that still be bitten and not look up to the brazen serpent. They lacked faith and any belief at all that by so looking they would be spared. Only a few who were bitten looked and were healed quickly.

Heavenly Father then spoke to me: 'Raphael, our elect whom I have chosen in your day, will hear our voice, even the voice of the Spirit. They are not rebellious, but have much more faith in God than do these children of Israel before us.

We are going to repeat the miracle of the brazen serpent in your day, in a different way. For those who pray to us, their Gods, in faith to be healed of various plagues or sickness that might come upon them, we will give many of them Heavenly Mother's healing plants you saw last night, and they will improve and heal by degrees. The actions of the healing remedies will be enhanced, and will work healing in their physical bodies, much more effectively than in the past.

In the process of learning which herbs and healing plants to ingest, or apply to their bodies, our faithful will need to become in tune to our Spirit, or have one who may hear and listen to minister to them. We will graciously answer the humble prayers of our faithful who believe in our promises of healing!

In your day, Raphael, our elect will hear our voice and keep our commandments, whereas the children of ancient Israel were rebellious and slow to hearken. In your day, because of their faith, the elect will experience great miracles of healing, from the remedies that will be found growing around them, to administrations from our servants in the celestial and terrestrial realms above, and from caring people who surround them in mortality. We will use various means to protect and preserve our elect for the glorious day of peace and rest, coming in the days of the millennium soon at hand.'

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his visions this morning! I thanked him for this new knowledge of how our Gods would work in preserving their elect. I said I would obey him always, and seek earnestly for the Spirit to guide me in my life.

Heavenly Father seemed pleased and smiled. He then asked me to now look up from my healing stone and my prayer experience would conclude. I pulled my healing seer stone up in front of me, and looked at it and then looked up, with the intention to end my prayer.

I found myself writing this all down in my private room. I reread my account and closed my prayer in the name of Jesus Christ."

Joshua 10:12-14
12 Then spake Joshua to the Lord in the day when the Lord delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.

13 And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.

14 And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the Lord hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the Lord fought for Israel.

126D37-126E22: "Tonight and tomorrow morning I wish to explain to you more details of how we stop time to do some of our work, and how often we do this.

A little over a week ago we brought you to our Great Assembly Hall when we three Gods conversed with you in the upper corner of that hall. We stopped time in the celestial orb. You saw those in the hall all stopped in their actions. You also could see yourself replicated at the podium, and even knew the thoughts you were thinking in that snapshot state.

We stop time whenever we wish, so that we may slow down the present and have some work done at that moment that would take more finite time then the moment would allow. We wanted you during this meeting to receive a great revelation while time was stopped for everyone else in that hall. When time was resumed, they didn't know that you had received so very much already, and had written it all down in your journal.

Your Heavenly Mother, Jesus Christ, and I stop time like this occasionally to fulfill our Godly purposes. Time is stopped only in our galaxy, which consists of all our creations. We limit this ability to stop time to our domains, and not to those outside our influence and jurisdiction.

Stopping time is a power we have as God. No one of our children may do so, unless we grant them this gift. This power was extended to Joshua, a man of faith who was fighting with his men against the Amorites(see Joshua 10:12-14). The scriptures record that the sun stood still while the army of Israel fought the Amorites in the valley of Ajalon. The sun did not go down about a whole day.

"And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the Lord hearkened unto the voice of man: for the Lord fought for Israel." (Joshua 10:14)

In this case, our Son, Jesus Christ, stopped the sun and the entire earth except for those who fought in this valley. When time started again, the earth and sun continued again without interruption. Time was stopped for about a day.

You have been taught how stopping time was a very necessary element of Jesus Christ suffering in our higher celestial sphere for all mankind for this eternity. During each of the 700 periods of suffering, time was stopped while Jesus suffered. Time was restarted for a few moments and while his mother and I refreshed and strengthened him in his mission to suffer for the sins of mankind, during the next period of his suffering.'

Heavenly Father said to me that he would continue in the morning where he stopped tonight. I thanked him, and said I would return in the morning here at these circling waters.

I closed my prayer and went to bed.

E. R's Personal Journal Entry, June 24, 2019

, Monday

I awoke after a good sleep. I am refreshed and am the only one up early in my household.

I came to the circling waters in Heavenly Mother's upper garden area, on the celestial orb. I came right where I was kneeling last night, and knelt again. I felt refreshed and open. I then asked for my Heavenly Father to come, as he said last night he would.

My Heavenly Father immediately appeared where he was last night, a little elevated above the water! He spoke again:

'Raphael, I will continue where I left off last night-

'We stopped time in our entire great galaxy while our Beloved Son suffered for the sins of the world. All planets, orbs, stars, earths, and all our creations stopped momentarily while Jesus Christ suffered for the sins of mankind in this eternity.

In addition to these two major events when we stopped time, we do this occasionally like we did last June 15, 1029 at the Great Assembly Hall with you. Only us 4 know about this. When time resumed, it was as if it had never stopped for the rest of our creations.

When we desire to stop time like we did a week ago Saturday, we intend time to stop for all of our creations except for when we designate for time to continue. In the case of Joshua when the sun stood still, we stopped all the earth and the entire galaxy except for those who fought in the valley of Ajalon. This was in the telestial sphere. Jesus Christ stopped time, with our permission. We all three Gods observed for the extra day that they fought, so that Joshua would win the battle.

During Christ's atonement, there were 700 periods that time was stopped so Jesus would have uninterrupted moments to fully suffer for the sins of mankind. This action only occurred in the higher celestial world, and for Jesus who was also suffering in the Garden of Gethsemane or later on the cross near the Garden tomb, outside the walls of Jerusalem. In this case, time continued in the higher celestial sphere on our celestial orb, and on those two locations on the telestial earth.

A week ago Saturday time was stopped in our entire galaxy except for in our higher celestial realm where we three Gods were and with you who was also there.

We may stop time in any spiritual realm we wish while in another realm time continues as normal. In every case, we stop the remainder of the galaxy so that the cycles of rotation and systems we have in place will continue uninterrupted, even without the knowledge that time had been suspended for them.

We have in our power to stop time as we wish, in locations we wish, all because we are ordained Gods who have been given this great power. We initiate this action of stopping time by our celestial intuition. We determine when to start, where to start, and for how long, and it is begun as we desire. We resume all as normal again when we are done.

The creations we have made will stop in their movement and in their awareness of the stoppage of time. Their breathing will stop, their entire being will stop without any movement or deterioration, even for as long as we desire. This is all done by our power of God. Other galaxies outside of our domain have independent time measurements that are unaffected by what we do in our own galaxy.

Raphael, you have noticed that we may suspend an action for as long as we wish for a certain event. You came to the Great Assembly Hall a week ago Sunday, the day in your time frame after the meeting when you were on the stand talking to the vast congregation. And yet, Jesus came the next day to you and passed to you the sacrament there. He didn't really wait a full day, but we took you back in the past, in real time, and you experienced again what had actually happened the day before.

We may also relive the past as if it was the present. We may also live in the future moments as we desire, even before they come. However, almost always this sort of thing is rarely done, and we choose to live in the present, and to experience time as we have it roll forth upon all of our vast galaxy.

We suspend time for one part of our creations and allow time to continue for another part. We do this temporarily, and soon align time to be the same again in all of our creations. We don't do this too often, but have certain times we may want or need to do this.

Time is unalterable for man, but not to us your Gods. Time is not a substance, but a state of being. When we alter time, we alter the states of being of our creations. We may choose these states to be "broken" in time, or stopped while others of our creations continue in time in their own state of being.

The scriptures refer to wings of power when Nephi was carried upon wings of the Spirit to a high mountaintop (2 Nephi 4:23), and when the earth rolls upon her wings (D&C 88:45), and when God will bear his servants as on eagles' wings (D&C 124:18). Each of the references to wings in these scriptures refers in part to our power to adjust time, for wings refer to movement of time and to different places.

When we create any of our vast creations, either from intelligence and elemental matter, or just elemental matter, we do so with the understanding that we may adjust at any future time their state of being. For our own children, we convey this clearly during our creation process, and receive agreement that we may do so with our Godly powers, at any time. We do this change occasionally for our own purposes. When that moment may come, we therefore do not overstep our own bounds to honor the agency of man, for we have already received permission to do so in the beginning from our son or daughter's intelligence.

All of our actions as God are delineated in the Book of Laws of God, a part that Jesus Christ has recently shown to you. This book describes in detail to us the laws by which the Gods are governed, and in which parameters the Gods may work and act. This was created in the beginning by our first parent Gods. The powers and limitations of our use of adjusting time for our own creations is explained in this book. Each one who is ordained to become a couple God receives one of these Books of the Laws of God to share and to refer to in all of our activity. These laws set standards of conduct between the Gods so that we all act in similar ways with the same capabilities. The Book of the Laws of God have been periodically updated and redistributed at our meeting with other Gods between the eternities.

You may also wonder how we Gods synch our eternities so that they all begin and end at the same time? This is not necessary, for we travel backwards or forward in time to a point when we are all together. For your Heavenly Mother and I, we meet with the other Gods once our last eternity is completed. We travel backwards or forward in time to be located at the current meeting. When we are completed with the latest meeting, we then return to our galaxy and start our next eternity. Remember, time is a state of being, even for us Gods when we go outside of our own galaxy to the center of the universe where our first parent Gods live.

Time is a state of being we initiate for each of our creations once they become a living being. Before this, as an intelligence or raw elemental matter, there was no measurement of time. This concept and experience of a time state is altogether new to our creations, just as is the experience for an intelligence is new when it enters into our material creation we made just for it.

Raphael, I have briefly shared with you how time issues and states are modifiable by us who are the creators of all things and beings in our great galaxy. Your Heavenly Mother and I will share more about time states as the need arises in the future.'

I thanked my glorious Heavenly Father for his revelation on time! I felt so very happy to be further illuminated by his great power and understanding. I told him again that I would always seek his face and seek his counsels and revelations."

126E26-126E38: "I love the feeling of warm sand under my feet and between my toes! I felt this at the desert oasis in preparation for my prayer tonight. I knelt in front of the bench and faced the water. I asked for one or both of my Heavenly Parents to come.

Heavenly Mother appeared before me on the shore and walked upon the sand to me! She came by my right side and spoke, while facing the oasis in front of me.

'Raphael, I want to show you what this beautiful desert oasis was like in different eternities!' She reached out with her left hand and took mine. I was still kneeling and she was standing. She squeezed my hand and then we were both instantly in a beautiful meadow with scattered bushes and trees! In the place where the oasis was located was a beautiful pond with ducks and other birds, lily pads and such–it was so pretty! There was a walking trail right in front of us too that meandered through the meadow and landscape.

Heavenly Mother spoke: 'Raphael, this same area is the desert oasis in your current eternity. We are now back in time during the previous eternity.'

She grabbed my hand and we started strolling around the path.

'Raphael, we are back in the past, even to the previous eternity. You were an intelligence only during this time period, but now with me, by my power, we may visit anytime we may wish. Time is only a state of mind. We will not see others of our children from this previous eternity, but will only be alone here together.

You also see that I had a different landscape environment here instead of the desert oasis for your eternity. In most eternities, I change the landscape around me to suit the desires of both your Heavenly Father and me. Much of our celestial orb has a different look for each eternity. We are still in the celestial world on our celestial orb.'

At this time, Heavenly Father descended from the sky onto the path and joined us while we were walking!

Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, we change things on our celestial orb as we desire. We ask the celestial orb to change the ground and the atmosphere here to change the weather patterns. We may change rivers, streams, and lakes as we desire. We then plan new vegetation and find joy in our creations. We usually do all of these changes prior to populating our celestial orb with our new family from the current eternity.'

My Heavenly Father stopped, looked at Heavenly Mother and then spoke: 'Raphael, hold both of our hands and we will go to the eternity prior to this one now!'

I held their hands and we were on a road with many fields of grain in front of us! Behind us, to the north of the road, was a hilly area with extremely large hardwood trees, looking like maple trees! There was no lake and the terrain was entirely different than the next eternity or my own with the desert oasis.

Heavenly Mother spoke: 'Raphael, the farmland in front of us was where your Heavenly Father grew his grain in this previous eternity. In this eternity we were both known to our children as their Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother during the entire 7,000 years of the earth's temporal existence. We both acted as the Holy Ghost and came interchangeably to our beloved children who were faithful on their earth.

We may go to any time, past and future, or place we may desire. We may also take you there by our power. On your own, you are not able to do so until you too become a god as we are gods.

Our children from these past two eternities are now all gone on to their eternal rewards. We remember each one and still visit with our exalted children frequently who are couple gods. We love them dearly and they love us. We share freely with our faithful children in eternity, worlds without number, galaxies without end, and children born in the image of the gods!'

We were then instantly back by the bench on the familiar desert oasis! Heavenly Mother was in front of me and I was standing. Heavenly Father was no longer with us.

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for this exciting demonstration of the changes in our celestial orb with different eternities. I thanked her for giving me such a great lesson on time and how it is really just a state of mind. I said I loved her and Heavenly Father so very much!

My prayer ended and I came back to my chair on earth where I had been experiencing all of this in my conscious mind, at least to some degree. I knew I had fully experienced this entire visionary experience on the celestial orb in my unconscious mind."

1 Samuel 16:7
7 But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.

100E12-100E16: "Heavenly Father then spoke:

'Raphael, when Joseph Smith the prophet organized the Church of Christ in Fayette, New York, these were very humble beginnings. You have seen today a retail store owned by the church that was very well organized, well funded and the products well displayed. It gives the feeling to promote belief in the church and its leaders. Nevertheless, we have rejected the leaders and have removed their priesthood and the keys to their priesthood. Deseret Book will continue to promote the belief that "all is well in Zion; yea, Zion prospereth, all is well" (see 2 Nephi 28:21). This church is prospering and the leaders are very well off.

Raphael, we look on the heart of man and not on the outward appearance. Our Beloved Son revealed this to Samuel:

1 Samuel 16:7

"But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as a man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart."

The same is true of Deseret Book. We see what the books and products represent and who wrote them. Most of the items there are produced for the gain of the author. Many Latter-day Saints trust whatever is available at this bookstore for it is owned and promoted by the church.

We are not pleased with the many books promoted by general authority leaders because of their position in the church. They should not promote their own books, but turn the people to be humble, repentant, and depend upon God and not man.

Your day was seen by Jesus Christ when he had recorded the following:

3 Nephi 16:10 (Heavenly Father's words in parentheses)

"And thus commandeth the Father that I shall say unto you: At that day when the Gentiles (the Latter-day Saints) shall sin against my gospel, and shall reject the fulness of my gospel (introduction to the leaders of the office of high priestess), and shall be lifted up in the pride of their hearts above all nations, and above all the people of the whole earth, and shall be filled with all manner of lyings, and of deceits, and of mischiefs, and all manner of hypocrisy, and murders, and priestcrafts (like promoting their own books they have written for monetary gain), and whoredoms, and of secret abominations; and if they shall do all those things, and shall reject the fulness of my gospel, behold, saith the Father, I will bring the fulness of my gospel from among them (or, in other words, I will remove their priesthood and priesthood keys from this church and its leaders who have gone astray)."

I am the Father, the one who commanded my Son, Jesus Christ, to speak these words and make sure that they were included in the Book of Mormon. This scripture has been hidden from the view of the people, but now the correct interpretation is made known to you, Raphael. Had the church leaders accepted our revelation on the office of High Priestess, the fulness of the gospel would have already been revealed and established among them. However, they have rejected us, and the fulness of our gospel; therefore, we have rejected them, and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We look upon their hearts, and not upon the outward appearances, like you have seen today at Deseret Book. We will bless you, Raphael, for you are our humble and obedient servant. You will be the one through whom the fulness of our gospel is revealed. You have my priesthood and keys to do our great work among our elect.'

I thanked my Heavenly Father for the confidence he had in me! I thanked him for opening up my eyes to the true meaning of the scripture in 3 Nephi about our day."

1 Samuel 17:47
47 And all this assembly shall know that the Lord saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the Lord’s, and he will give you into our hands.

69H17-69H24: "Heavenly Father then spoke:

'Raphael, your new protective shield is sufficiently strong enough to keep out any evil spirits or their evil devices. This is actually better protection than when you only had 24 warrior angels. Once we enveloped you in your dome-shaped shield, we already dismissed your 24 warrior angels, since their service to you was now finished. They have been very faithful to you since May 2016 when they agreed to come and protect you, nearly two years ago. They have gone to join their fellow warrior angels and to do the work they have been newly assigned.

Such protection will now be afforded to every servant and elect of God! This blessing is very significant and powerful!

Satan and his evil hosts can immediately see, once these protective shields are in place, who have been selected as the elect of God. They will not be able to penetrate their personal shields, but they will be able to focus more evil ones to continually whisper and tempt them from any area outside of their shields. This will not be nearly as strong a temptation as before, when they were freer to enter internally into the spirits and bodies of our elect. We should have the protective shields of all of our mortal servants and the elect of God completed by tomorrow, 2-14-2018. This will be a great day of rejoicing for all of these, for the battle is God's and has turned now to our favor! (see 1 Samuel 17:47: "And all this assembly shall know that the Lord saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the Lord's, and he will give you into our hands.")

There are many other shapes of protective shields around our faithful. I have created these from spirit matter gathered from our celestial world. I created them alone. I made them in advance, having foreknowledge of our future actions. These protective shields will be returned to me in my kingdom once Satan is bound and our servants and our elect no longer need them. These shields are used in each eternity that may need them. Your shield, Raphael, has been used for our archangel in charge of the last days in every eternity that needed one. They too have had the domed rooms as their room in our kingdom. They have not all been the third archangel, but they have all been a male archangel. Never has the Satan of these earths been successful in penetrating these protective shields, worlds without number to you, but all known to us!

I have sufficient protective shields to be given to every mortal servant and every mortal elect child. I assign each of these shields to a particular faithful child, one by one. If our child wants to know the particular shape and design of their shield, they may inquire of me and I will reveal this to them, in my own way and time.

There is no problem in our servants or elect to come close together, or to others without shields, for their shields easily go into each other and still protect the one they are assigned to. Our faithful child with a shield is rarely aware of it surrounding them. This is a hidden nature–much like their own portal. Their portal, however, always stays with them whereas the shields are returned for reuse in a future day.'

I then saw the shapes of these protective shields were greatly varied, just like each son or daughter of God is so varied. I saw too that the intensity of the battle with Lucifer and his hosts had to reach a high level of intensity in order for the Father to shield his faithful children with these amazing protective shields. We have now reached this high level of intensity in the battle!

I believe, too, that once Satan's hosts fully realize how futile their evil ways and tools will now be to entrap the elect of God, that there will be many more of Satan's numbers to come to Jesus Christ, their Redeemer. These will join their brothers and sisters, the Refugees of Lucifer, in a day soon at hand. They know they will need to make their final decision before the return of Jesus Christ, else I will lock them up in the bottomless pit for one thousand years.

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his great wisdom and foresight in providing these protective shields for us! I then looked from my mortal body perspective and could visualize a dome around me, free inside from Satan and any evil device! It was invisible, but I was still aware of its shape now and its exact boundaries. It seemed to be able to expand or contract in size too, according to my thoughts. I could expand this domed protective shield to a maximum size of about 50 feet in a radius around me, down to about a 7-foot radius around me. I am not sure why I wouldn't want it expanded as far as I can make it, to a 50-foot radius. I believe the factor in the closeness of this shield to my person is how much attention I pay to the whisperings of Satan. If I give no heed the radius is larger to 50 feet; if I consider the whisperings of Satan, the domed shell contracts closer to my person, only about 7 feet in radius. I therefore determine in my own mind how close I want Satan to tempt me. I pray for strength to always keep him as far as possible now! Right now, the boundary is at 50-foot radius, or a diameter of the dome shell is 100 feet."

2 Samuel 19:4
4 But the king covered his face, and the king cried with a loud voice, O my son Absalom, O Absalom, my son, my son!

184F1-184F10: "I went to bed last night after talking about a very charged subject with my wife. I tossed and turned over this, and finally got to bed around 3am. I tried listening to calming music, but it didn't work.

The topic we discussed was why some of our children don't want to be around us, or associate with us anymore? I see this same pattern in the premortal life, culminating in ⅓ part of our Heavenly Parents's children rebelling and following Lucifer. I see it throughout scripture in families. Parents love their children and sacrifice for them, but many children don't love their parents or want little to do with them. My wife and I have a couple of these ourselves. They have moved away emotionally from us, their parents, and prefer to be left alone. Our conclusion last night is to love those who will love us back. Those who want to be left alone, let them be. It seems this is the example of our Heavenly Parents in the premortal and mortal life. This happened to Adam and Eve, and only the righteous kept close to their first parents, whereas the remainder left and never came back.

These situations cause anxiety and mourning in the hearts of the parents. There is something in parents that continue to yearn after those who part emotionally and physically. This reminds me of David, the king of Israel, when he mourned for his rebellious son Absalom. His actions towards his traitorous son Absalom was one of yearning for him to change and come back to him, even just before he died. (see 2 Samuel 19:4). Parents yearn to unite their family, and it is very difficult when there is division in their sons and daughters, or those who don't like the parents.

I believe we should just let our adult children do whatever they wish and then go visit and associate with those who care about us, their parents. We can establish relationships of love and trust with them, but we have no other recourse with those who don't like us or who make us feel uncomfortable when we visit. It is better to face reality and love those who can love us back.

I came to the celestial orb this morning in hopes to connect again with my Heavenly Father. I came to the little gully in the desert with a little stream flowing gently through it. I knelt and drank living water. I then asked for my loving Heavenly Father to come to me.

Heavenly Father then appeared in front of me! He immediately spoke to me:

'Raphael, parents of wayward or disinterested children are always yearning for them to come back and love them. We, who are the parents of all our children for this eternity, yearn after our disinterested and wayward children. However, they each need to choose on their own the level of closeness they want with us. There are relatively few who love to be with us, and make time in their busy mortal lives for us. They have chosen to live alone without us, their Gods and parents.

In the premortal life, many were also separated from us on their own volition. Some stayed closer and loved us back. We developed a relationship of love and trust with those who sought after our counsels, our presence, and wanted to do our will. We are gracious and merciful to all of these, our faithful elect children. These are those we favor.

You are correct to love those who will love you back. Let those who want to live apart from you emotionally do so without you continually trying to reconnect with them. A relationship is a two way connection. If these disconnected children are not interested in a relationship of closeness, let them choose what level of connection they desire. Those who love least establish the level of closeness of the relationship.

Once your own children are launched into adulthood, they will fully choose what they wish to do. Some may come back and honor you, their parents, with their closeness. Some will be most comfortable in a distant relationship. Let them decide what level of love and interest the relationship will bear. Then match this level of connection with your corresponding love. You cannot make the relationship any greater than they are willing.'

I thanked my Father for his great wisdom and truths. I said I would do as he said, and talk more with my wife about these concepts. I thanked him for the peace and love he gave me today."

1 Kings 17:6
6 And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook.

142B19-142B22: "Heavenly Mother then spoke: 'M.A. wrote you tonight saying that food seems to make her sick at times, and she wondered if she should eat. You also have noticed you need much less food in order to become full or satisfied from hunger.

These sensations are all part of your body being elevated to a terrestrial level. We desire that you still eat, however, and provide nourishment for your terrestrial bodies. You may ask of us that the food be good nourishment to your body, or be best able to feed and strengthen you. As you do so, we will help your body assimilate the food you eat, or bless and enhance the food before you eat it. The water you drink may also be blessed by you to become as pure and vibrant as possible for your best use. Always receive all your food, supplements, remedy plants, and drink with thanksgiving and a joyful heart.

When Elijah was on a mission for us, we sent food to him from ravens, prior to coming to the widow at Zarephath.

1 Kings 17:6

"And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook."

We will bless and strengthen our elect in the days of tribulation, even with our power like we extended to Elijah our prophet. We will not let our chosen elect go without! It is wise, however, for them to lay up in store, and to gain skills of providing for themselves, against the time of want.

In all of this, we ask our servants and elect to have faith in our protecting power and to pray to us, in the name of Jesus Christ. We will bless and provide for them.'"

1 Kings 17:14-16
14 For thus saith the Lord God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the Lord sendeth rain upon the earth.

15 And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days.

16 And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the Lord, which he spake by Elijah.

170F2-170F10: "Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, I am pleased with what you have written in your most recent post about the extra protection and blessings we will give to our elect who pray in faith to us. We will answer their particular petitions and requests.

There may be times also that their food or supplies may dwindle in certain areas. We will extend what they have stored to remain, similar to the miracle Elijah promised to the widow of Zarephath:

1 Kings 17:14-16-

"For thus saith the Lord God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the Lord sendeth rain upon the earth.

And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days.

And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the Lord, which he spake by Elijah."

In those instances, we will answer the prayers of our faithful elect, to preserve their lives.

If they feel threatened by armies or evil intentioned groups or individuals, we will answer their heartfelt prayers. Your Heavenly Mother, Jesus Christ and I are Gods who will perform multiple miracles to preserve and protect our faithful who ask of us. This is part of our deliverance that we will extend to them.'

I then prayed humbly that our food storage would be sufficient for my own family in my household. I prayed also that we would be able to freely share with neighbors and those who might come to us in their wants and needs, and not feel we won't have enough after sharing. I prayed that we would always have enough to live comfortably and well during these hard times coming upon our world.

I asked also that I be given insight into the motives and hearts of those who might come to us so I would know whether their intentions were good. I wanted to know whether these would be friendly or would intend to do us harm.

Heavenly Father responded: 'Raphael, we intend that you be in continual communion with us, even in constant prayer. You need only ask of us in your mind and we will guide you in your particular situation in your mortal life. We will freely extend to you and our faithful abundant miracles to preserve and protect you. We only ask you do all you can now do to prepare, and then at the moment of your need, ask of us in faith.'

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his remarkable blessings that he, Heavenly Mother and Jesus would extend to us if we ask of them! I said this gave me relief and much confidence in moving forward into these troubled times."

1 Kings 18:21,37-38
21 And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the Lord be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.

37 Hear me, O Lord, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the Lord God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again.

38 Then the fire of the Lord fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.

67K13-67K16: "I then heard the familiar voice of my Heavenly Mother to me:

'Raphael, have this dramatic revelation conclude your next post! Send it out to all the mortal angels who sustain you as the only one through whom revelation comes to the Church of the Firstborn. Ask each one to confirm again their commitment to us and the directions we give you. If there are those who do not agree, ask them to write you. Remove their access to your emails and login portion of your website.

We need those who follow us to be fully committed! They will then be able to act unhesitantly when they receive our word by revelation to their heart and mind on all that we may ask of them.'

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her words. I said I would do so! I then felt the title of this next post would be "How long halt ye between two opinions?" taken from 1 Kings 18:21. This is when Elijah came unto all the people:

"And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? If the Lord be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.

Then said Elijah unto the people, I, even I only, remain a prophet of the Lord; but Baal's prophets are four hundred and fifty men."

Then Elijah offered sacrifice. In verse 37-39, he said:

"Hear me, O Lord, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the Lord God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again.

Then the fire of the Lord fell, and consumed the burn sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.

And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, The Lord, he is the God; the Lord, he is the God."

There will be no physical fire from God shown to each soul who confirms these revelations, but instead a spiritual fire that will enter their heart from God. This is the day of decision and recommitment."

1 Kings 19:5-7
5 And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then an angel touched him, and said unto him, Arise and eat.

6 And he looked, and, behold, there was a cake baken on the coals, and a cruse of water at his head. And he did eat and drink, and laid him down again.

7 And the angel of the Lord came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat; because the journey is too great for thee.

63J8-63J13: "I kept feeling my mission was going to soon take the pattern of Elijah in the bible. These thoughts have been coming to me last night and this morning. I have not been pushing them away but just letting them settle . As yet I don't know if this is my doing or impressions from God.

I then read a little bit in the bible dictionary and the bible on the life of Elijah, the prophet. This was in my minds as I knelt in prayer to my Heavenly Parents at the glass table this morning.

My Heavenly Parents then came up a path from the west until they came in front of me. They were pleasant and intent on something but were not smiling much. I think they were happy with me, but intent on doing something with me.

Heavenly Father spoke:

'Raphael, sit up now at the glass table and your Heavenly Mother will give you of her food.'

I then sat up at the chair, facing north next to the glass table. Heavenly Mother then came and brought me a little cake and a cruse of water. She spoke:

'Raphael, this is the same type of food that you gave to our prophet Elijah when you appeared to him as an angel of God as recorded in 1 Kings 19:5-7. Take it now and eat all of the cake and drink all of the water.'

1 Kings 19:5-7– "And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then an angel touched him, and said unto him, Arise and eat.

And he looked, and, behold, there was a cake baken on the coals, and a cruse of water at his head. And he did eat and drink, and laid him down again.

And the angel of the Lord came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat; because the journey is too great for thee.

I then ate the little cake and drank of the living water in the cruse. The cake was hearty and extremely filling to my soul.

When I was done, Heavenly Mother spoke again:

'Raphael, come again tomorrow morning to my table and I will give you another cake to eat and a cruse of living water to drink. I will do this "because the journey is too great for thee" (1 Kings 19:7). This is what you spoke to our prophet Elijah anciently. Now his life and interaction with the people in his day will be a type for you and will be repeated in part in your future mission.'

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her cake and cruse of water that she gave me. I felt very full and very satisfied, like I didn't need to ever eat again!

She then turned and joined Heavenly Father. They then held hands and walked down the path from where they had come earlier. They soon were out of sight. I realized my prayer was finished this morning. I am left pondering the meaning of all of this as I now start my day."

1 Kings 19:11-12
11 And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the Lord. And, behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the Lord; but the Lord was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the Lord was not in the earthquake:

12 And after the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.

140B21-140B30: "Evening–I came this evening to the celestial orb, to the cliff on the south side of God's Loving Healing Lake. I could see God's temple in the far distance to the north. I also saw some very dark clouds due east of the temple and it seemed they were right over Heavenly Mother's upper gardens. When I was kneeling on top of the cliff, there was a little wind, but I could see occasional lightning in the clouds to the far northeast.

I asked for my Heavenly Father to come, for I felt he would come. I then waited. Heavenly Father then came in a beam of light, right from his distant temple to a place right in front of me! He was majestic and very filled with light. It almost seemed he held lightning in his right hand.

Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, I am full of light and power! With my hand I can smite the earth so that the ground shakes, or thick clouds and whirlwinds with thunder and lightning explode in the skies! I can cause oceans to heave beyond their bounds, and fires to erupt where I will. Your Mother and I have all power over the earth!

We will cause more and more calamities to come upon the wicked inhabitants of the earth. Wars, pestilence, plagues and devastations of all varieties will come suddenly upon different places of the earth. Our earth herself will convulse and reel to and fro, wreaking havoc upon the wicked!

Our elect who hear us and love to obey our commands will largely be protected against our fury. They will be elevated to a terrestrial state and be freed from Satan's grasp and influence. We will protect them from the physical upheavals and calamities that will cause so many inhabitants to have great fear. We will send forth our servants to guide and protect the righteous during these difficult times.'

Suddenly a dark whirlwind cloud with a great wind came around Heavenly Father! His cape blew backwards and he rose up in the whirlwind! I saw him extend his right arm into the swirling cloud and a mighty boom and a flash of lightning came forth to the base of the cliff upon which I was kneeling! I jumped a bit in my heart and then all was peaceful and calm!

I then heard the words of my Father come into my thoughts: 'Raphael, I have demonstrated to you my power, but my real influence over my faithful children comes differently:

1 Kings 19:11-12

"And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the Lord. And, behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the Lord; but the Lord was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the Lord was not in the earthquake:

And after the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice."

I guide and instruct my humble and obedient children by my still small voice. I bring upon the wicked my anger in the day that they are ripened in iniquity, in the way of calamity and severe tribulations. By these means will all of my children know me.'

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his words tonight. I was awed by his great power and majesty! I loved to hear his still small voice."

2 Kings 2:11
11 And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.

118J13-118J24: "Heavenly Father then spoke to me, all in my mind so clearly and understandably to me:

'Raphael, we use the light that flows into us in everything we do. There are laws that the light adheres to, all created by our first parent Gods who send this forth to all their creations and their children gods.

One of the laws of the higher celestial realms that this light adheres to is that of it becoming a celestial fire. This is only transformed from light matter into celestial fire by one who is a god, who is ordained to the highest calling, using either their highest priesthood or highest high priestess orders.

In this process of converting the light matter into celestial fire, we use our intention in our minds to create this fire and direct it to one of our creations. This was the same fire that Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son, sent to Elijah when he was translated:

2 Kings 2:11 "And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven."

At that time, Jesus took Elijah, his prophet, unto himself, and Elisha became the new prophet in Israel. This was done by the celestial fire that enshrouded the chariot, the horses and Elijah. They then all came into our celestial realm from the telestial earth. Jesus Christ also sent celestial fire to Nephi and Lehi as recorded in the book of Helaman, when they were both imprisoned (see Helaman 5:44).

At the end of the earth, when the earth dies and is resurrected, we will use the celestial fire again. Both your Heavenly Mother and I will shine forth intense light from our presence onto the earth, with our intentions for it to turn into celestial fire. This fire will completely cover all the earth. The flames of this fire will reach high into the heavens. The earth will then die and become resurrected anew to a new heaven and a new earth. All of the old will pass away, including the telestial and terrestrial realms on the earth. The celestial realm will also be transformed to be one for a resurrected celestial earth. There will also be a higher celestial realm created on this new changed earth. The entire change of dying, resurrecting, and transforming of the celestial realms will occur while the celestial fire burns on the earth. I say that it burns, but this burning is to change the non-celestial parts on the earth to elemental matter, like these creations were in the beginning.

This elemental matter then will be gathered up and used by us, the true Gods and creators of the earth, to create the new resurrected earth and its celestial realms. After the fire is removed, there will be a completely new heaven and earth. The heaven will be the celestial and higher celestial realms, and the earth will be resurrected to a celestial state of glory.

We use our ability to create celestial fire for our own purposes, such as will occur at the end of the earth. Not everyone who is translated will have celestial fire like Elijah experienced. We use the celestial fire according to our designs and plans.

When Jesus comes to the earth in glory, in the clouds of heaven with his holy angels, he will shine forth in glory. To those who are of the telestial glory, and who cannot withstand a terrestrial glory, they will be burned and will die. Their spirits will go into the telestial world of the dead on that realm on the earth. This fire is not the same celestial fire that we will use at the end of the world.

The burning at the second coming of Jesus Christ was spoken of in Malachi 4:1:

"For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch."

Those of the lowest telestial realm who then live on the earth in their mortal bodies will be removed into the telestial realm of the dead. In each one, Jesus will cause a burning wherein they will die, for they cannot come into the new terrestrial gory of the earth in the millennial day. They will not abide the day of his coming. Only those who are of a terrestrial and celestial nature will abide, and be permitted to remain into the millennium.

I thanked my loving and shining Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother for their clear words to me this morning. I told them how humbled I felt to be so enlightened by their light and truth that they have shined forth on me, and spoken to me."

2 Chronicles 32:7
7 Be strong and courageous, be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that is with him: for there be more with us than with him:

183I13-183I26: "I came tonight to the trickling brook coming through the birch tree forest on the hill descending to the city of Enoch. I drank from the stream and knelt in the soft soil. I asked for my Heavenly Mother to come to me.

She immediately appeared before me! She was smiling and very beautiful. I felt her deep love for me right away.

She spoke to my mind: 'Raphael, my son, we have called upon our holy angels, and many of our celestial servants to come as the legions of heaven in support of our outnumbered and faithful sons who were engaged in righteous battles with the wicked of their day. The Bible and Book of Mormon contain details of these battles where we, their Gods, fought their conflicts and routed out their enemies. We sustain and honor the requests of our earthly stewards who lead in these armies, as long as we command them to go forth to defend themselves, their lands, their families and their rights to worship God as they desired.

Alma 48:14-16

"Now the Nephites were taught to defend themselves against their enemies, even to the shedding of blood if it were necessary; yea, and they were also taught never to give an offense, yea, and never to raise the sword except it against an enemy, except it were to preserve their lives.

And this was their faith, that by so doing God would prosper them in the land, or in other words, if they were faithful in keeping the commandments of God that he would prosper them in the land; yea, warn them to flee, or to prepare for war, according to their danger;

And also, that God would make it known unto them whither they should go to defend themselves against their enemies, and by so doing, the Lord would deliver them; and this was the faith of Moroni, and his heart did glory in it; not in the shedding of blood but in doing good, in preserving his people, yea, in keeping the commandments of God, yea, and resisting iniquity."

When the people of God followed these principles and were striving to be obedient to all that we commanded them, then we protected them against their enemies. We have sent our celestial angel servants in their defense many times, and routed out the invading armies by our great power of deliverance.

Those under General George Washington's command were greatly blessed because of the prayer and leadership of this man, and also because of the many prayers of those early day patriots on your land. Your Heavenly Mother spoke true words of how God your Father assembled the legions of heaven to turn the battle and win the war on behalf of your fledging republic.

Hezekiah, a righteous king of Judah spoke words to his people to "be strong and courageous, be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that is with him: for there be more with us then with him." (2 Chronicles 32:7).

The enemy sent letters and servants to try to dissuade the children of Judah, and to cause them to doubt their leaders. Then Hezekiah the king of Judah, and Isaiah the prophet prayed to us, in this, their time of great need when the armies of the Assyrians encamped around the city of Jerusalem greatly outnumbering their army. We heard their prayers of faith, and fulfilled our promise to our faithful children, that we would fight their battles and defend them at all times against their enemies:

2 Chronicles 32:21-22

"And the Lord sent an angel (angels and celestial servants), which cut off all the mighty men of valour, and the leaders and captains in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned with shame of face to his own land. And when he was come into the house of his god, they that came forth of his own bowels slew him with the sword.

Thus the Lord saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria, and from the hand of all other, and guided them on every side." (words in parenthesis from Heavenly Mother).

Raphael, those in your land now are a mix of our elect and the wicked. We will not fight for the elect until the wicked are destroyed, and Babylon eliminated from the land, and your nation is overcome and is no more. Once the five months of occupation is fulfilled, then we will answer the prayers of our elect, and come out of our hiding place to scatter and destroy modern day Assyria who will be in the land as the occupying armies. Then will we command you, our Angel of Liberty, and many of our holy angels and celestial servants who will accompany you, to rout out the invading troops and finish cleansing the land of the wicked. No earthly power will be able to stand up to our matchless power we will send to reestablish our banner of liberty again upon our land of promise!'

Heavenly Mother rose up into the treetops, increasing in her great light! She ascended into the celestial sky until she was gone.

I thanked her for her magnanimous words concerning the humble elect that would be left upon the land after the many tribulations, and what she shared with me tonight."

Psalms 2:9
9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.

65A14-65A16, from R: "Later: I just returned from a concert in our local high school of Handel's Messiah. It was great! I so enjoyed it. This was the first year for the Nebo Holiday Chorus and Orchestra performing–a local south Utah county new organization. I went with my wife and our son joined us part way after his work.

During the performance, I felt like I was in heaven at the east end of Lake Beautiful on the path! I sat on a bench next to the path while the choir, soloists and orchestra performed on earth. I felt I was alone in such a beautiful setting while I heard the concert. At one point, when the bass soloist sang "I will shake the heavens, and the earth, the sea and the dry land; and I will shake all nations; and the Desire of all Nations Shall Come!" (Haggai 2:6-7), I felt I saw in my mind Heavenly Father with his very firm eyes like I saw last night and this morning!

When the chorus sang from Isaiah 9:6, I felt I saw Jesus Christ in the path to my left! I immediately knelt down in the path facing my Savior during this stirring number: 'For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is give; and the government shall be upon His shoulder, and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.'

Then I heard the tenor sing from Psalms 2:9 'Thou shalt break them with the rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel'. I immediately knew this would be fulfilled by John the Beloved! He was actually given a silver rod to afflict the nations of the earth (see my post #59 The Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur). John the Beloved has this mission in these last days and will raise his rod that he was given to smite the nations and break them in pieces. He was given a silver rod I believe, not an iron rod as the bible states in Psalms 2:9."

Psalms 23:1-6
1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

79B5-79B7: "Heavenly Mother then spoke:

'Raphael, both of our fruits we gave you nourished you. The sweet and full of light fruit will fill you with happiness and love. This is great nourishment to your soul. The fruit that Heavenly Father gave you will help you grow in your struggles, even though it was not pleasant to eat at the time.

We have chosen to teach you today these somewhat obvious ideas. You have already had lots of both good and difficult experiences in your life. You have also been given uplifting and difficult assignments, as our servant and angel.

Both your life experiences and your assignments will continue in these ways, with more intensity. You have been nourished and strengthened to be able to meet all of these challenges.'

I then was left to ponder what would soon come my way! I thought I would have deep joy and difficult struggles, both, in my mortal life and in assignments I would be given as part of my angelic mission.

This was the only message this morning. I knew my prayer was over. I knew my Heavenly Parents loved me, and would lead me aright. I feel determined to always follow whatever they lead me to do. I put my trust in them. I thought of this psalm:

Psalm 23: "He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; he leadeth me beside the still waters, He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the path of righteousness for his names' sake Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou annointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.""

142E4-142E11: "Heavenly Father appeared gradually before me, a little above the waters! He was very majestic, filled with light and power. I felt so very glad to be in his presence!

He spoke: 'Raphael, this brings your Mother and I lots of joy to come to you regularly, day by day, and to gradually guide and reveal to you our will! We will lead you to all truth and happiness, as fast as you are able to receive, understand, change and come ready for more. This will be by your own inner desires, and not by fear, guilt or pressure from anyone else. Even as you desire and demonstrate to us, by putting us first in your life, and giving us a little of your priority time, we will gladly respond.

Then will the psalm of David of old be realized in your daily life:

Psalms 23:1-6:

"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever."

Raphael, you have no preconceived idea of what we may share with you, or where we may lead you. You trust in us and yearn to connect to us in open and sincere prayer. This is a highlight of your day, morning and night. You are careful to write and document all that we inspire you, and are careful in sharing what we reveal, even as we have directed you.

As a result we will magnify you as our servant in these last day to help us orchestrate our work, our strange work and strange act (see Isaiah 28:21). We will largely work through you in many things, even as we have planned from the beginning when we chose you to be our fourth son in the spirit. We have appointed and ordained you to be our archangel, our prophet of the Church of the Firstborn, even until Jesus Christ comes in his great glory and power.

Your steady and diligent example will be a model for our elect to follow in their own lives. As they also diligently seek us, their Gods, we will lead them beside the still waters, and restore their soul and enlighten their understandings.

Of all our activities and pleasures, this is the one that brings us the most joy and happiness!

I responded to my Heavenly Father: 'Oh my majestic Heavenly Father, I am so uplifted and feel so loved and accepted by you and my Heavenly Mother! I love and cherish my moments with each of you, as I come into your glorious presence, morning and night. Surely my cup runneth over, and I am filled daily with your light, love, revelations and guidance! My heart ponders on these things I am shown and led to do. I think on ways to please you, and what I might do to become more and more like you, even in my mortal state. I love you both so deeply! You are first in my life!'"

176G22-176G25: "Heavenly Mother then smiled and her eyes shone with love and compassion. She spoke again: 'Raphael, I want to reiterate again that we, who are your Gods, will protect and bless our elect on the earth, even in the midst of great hardships and occupation. I will send my Holy Ghost upon the faithful elect who pray to us in faith. I will comfort their souls!

Our servant David wrote these poetic verses that directly apply to your coming day.

Psalm 23:4-5

"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over."'

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her words of protection that she gave to me again tonight, in a similar tone that she had given last evening to me. I knew she and Heavenly Father would be fully true to all that they had promised me. I felt a great calm and assurance from the light that she was sending into me!"

Psalms 37:11
11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

183A1-183A8: "I prayed this morning in the maple tree grove on the western shore of Lake Beautiful. The water was calm and the celestial sun reflected off the water's surface. I drank living water from the lake and then returned to several large trees in the grove. I contemplated a while the state of my nation, and of the uncertainty in the land. I knew great changes were soon to come. I thought again of the importance to drop all of my future expectations, and just to wait upon the Lord (Psalms 37:9). I also wanted to be meek and humble, for "the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace." (Psalms 37:11).

I knelt facing the calm lake, and asked for my Heavenly Father to come to me. I then saw a man walking in the shallow water along the shore of the lake. I knew it was my Heavenly Father! He stopped and faced me, then signaled me to join him. I immediately arose and walked to his side. He placed his arm around my shoulder, and we started walking together along the sandy waters of Lake Beautiful.

My Father then spoke while we walked: 'Raphael, the sun will be shining in your mortal world today. I suggest you involve yourself in an outdoor project that you need to do, and enjoy the completion of getting something done. Involve yourself in activities in your daily life that you have control over. Visit your neighbors, spend time with your loved ones, and have joy and satisfaction in your labors. I will be with you, by your side.

The world and the leaders of your nation will act and do as they will. You have no control of their choices or actions. Although they might plunge your nation into a very hazardous situation in their decisions, you will be protected and led by us, your Gods, and need have no fear nor worry over their choices. You have been faithful, and we will continue to lead and direct you in the troubled world ahead. What I say to you I say to all who seek our faces and follow our Spirit. We remain in control of all the events and happenings in your nation.'

We then walked in silence. I felt the peace from my Father come into me and quell any feelings of anxiousness I might have. It was so beautiful and calm being with him, walking on this celestial orb, so far away from my troubled world.

Soon we stopped and Heavenly Father faced me. He smiled and placed both hands on my head and spoke: 'Raphael, my son, I bless you with my peace and great tranquility. I bless you to be about the work your Heavenly Mother and I will inspire you to do. I bless you to reach out and uplift others under your influence, and cheer them up and accept them. You will carry forth our Spirit in your ministrations, and be able to uplift and strengthen those in distress.'

He removed his hands and pulled me close in a Godly embrace! I felt deeply his love and peace. I somehow left his presence then, in the midst of this embrace, and returned to my mortal body on earth. I felt calm and filled with the love of God.

I thanked my Father for his blessing and embrace! I am so glad to have walked with him along the shores of Lake Beautiful this morning. I believe I will live a very happy day today on earth."

Psalms 89:3-4,28-37
3 I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant,

4 Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah.

28 My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him.

29 His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.

30 If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;

31 If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;

32 Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.

33 Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.

34 My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.

35 Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.

36 His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me.

37 It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.

Wed, Sep 7, 2011
David's throne will be forever.

Isaiah 1:1
1 The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

Mon, Mar 18, 2024
Judah and Jerusalem are a direct reference to latter-day Israel too, since Isaiah chapter 2 is well-known to in part to be directed at the LDS in mountains of Utah, and has the same "Judah and Jerusalem" beginning.

It is interesting that Isaiah uses the word "saw" to express what he had to have seen spiritually in visions and when he saw into the future times. These views are not with natural eyes, but with spiritual eyes as spoken by Moses in Moses 1:11, 31.

Isaiah 1:2-6
2 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the Lord hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.

3 The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master’s crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.

4 Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the Lord, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.

5 Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.

6 From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.

75F2-75F5, from Heavenly Father: "This past weekend at general conference, the leaders held a solemn assembly. Here is what we had Isaiah say about the church in your current day that we had Joseph Smith establish (note: My comments [those of Heavenly Father] are in parenthesis.)

Isaiah 1:2-6, 1:11-15–

"Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the Lord hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.

The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel (the current day LDS church) doth not know, my people (the Latter-day Saints) doth not consider.

Ah sinful nation (your United States), a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the Lord, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.

Why should ye (the LDS people) be stricken any more: ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick (the leaders of the LDS church as well as the leaders of the nation, the United States), and the whole heart faint.

From the sole of the foot even unto the head (the leaders) there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.

To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? (speaking of all the churches of the land, but particularly the LDS church) Saith the Lord: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats. (all of the temple sacrifices, mission sacrifices, all the sacrifices of my people I no longer delight in).

When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts? (or to tread with evil in your temples)

Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; (the offerings of my Latter-day Saints are now not acceptable to me in the current LDS church) the new moons and Sabbaths (the fast and testimony meetings, the sacrament meetings), the calling of assemblies (stake conferences, general conferences), I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting (the solemn assembly held last weekend at general conference).

Your new moons (monthly fast meetings) and your appointed feasts (Halloween, New Years, Easter and Christmas even-as these have been changed from original Christian purposes and worship) my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.

And when ye spread forth your hands (prayers and other actions in temples), I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood (there are many hidden acts that we see that are murderous, evil and corrupt in your land now)."

Raphael, I could go on with other scriptures found in the Bible, Book of Mormon and Doctrine and Covenants. We have not been silent, but have revealed in our scriptures our words. Most don't see this, for they will not consider the true meaning of our words, so we have hidden them, revealing them only to the humble and open.

You live in troubled times! However, to the honest in heart, the truth seekers, the open and humble, we will reveal our revelations and the awfulness of your situation (see Ether 8:24) We will save our elect, whether in this life or the next, and lead them to eternal life and their exaltation. We require the heart and an open and willing mind (D&C 64:34 "Behold, the Lord requireth the heart and a willing mind, and the willing and obedient shall eat the good of the land of Zion in these last days.")'

Heavenly Mother then spoke to me:

'Raphael, those who come unto us as we require, in humility and openness, seeking to see the truth and be guided by us and not man, we will answer. We will guide them in love and safety.'"

39C7-39C11, from Heavenly Mother: "The judgments that we bring upon them are spoken of also in scripture. D&C 112:24-26-

"Behold, vengeance cometh speedily upon the inhabitants of the earth, a day of wrath, a day of burning, a day of desolation, of weeping, of mourning, and of lamentation; and as a whirlwind it shall come upon all the face of the earth, saith the Lord.

And upon my house shall it begin, and from my house shall it go forth, saith the Lord;

First among those among you, saith the Lord, who have professed to know my name and have not known me, and have blasphemed against me in the midst of my house, saith the Lord."

Isaiah spoke also of our exact feelings in Isaiah 1:2-6, 11-20-

"Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the Lord hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.

The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master’s crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.

Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the Lord, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.

Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.

From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.

To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the Lord: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.

When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?

Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.

Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.

And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.

Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;

Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.

Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:

But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it."

Raphael, you have done as we have asked and prompted you. You have not trusted man, or your leaders at church, but have inquired of us, and have confirmed all truth. This is how we want our Saints to act before us. There are many of our elect that are now in this trap, of blindly following and trusting others. We have a plan to upset their world so that they will hopefully change their ways, and come unto us, their God.

Oh, I yearn after my children who have been misguided and are not coming to us in meaningful worship, prayer and action! How long can we tolerate this behavior?'

With that, Heavenly Mother was still very upset. I stood and put my arm around her shoulder, and leaned my head onto her shoulder. I felt such understanding and compassion for her!

I have been thinking of our interchange a lot since then. I hope I expressed in writing how poignant were her feelings, how distressed she was with her children who ought to act better!"

Isaiah 1:3-6
3 The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master’s crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.

4 Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the Lord, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.

5 Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.

6 From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.

186H1-186H12: "I came to the fir forest this new day and knelt on the forest soil. I asked for my Heavenly Parents to come to me. I then looked up and saw a bright white light coming from the tops of the tree canopies. Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother then slowly descended in a beam of light that shone to the ground all around me. I was soon in their presence!

Heavenly Father spoke to me: 'Raphael, your Heavenly Mother and I come to you together today, to emphasize the importance of our new message that we wish to share with you this morning. You have recently been talking with your wife of how many of your acquaintances are not viewing themselves in reality, but have imagined a make-believe view of how we, their Gods, operate in their lives. Many come up with all sorts of imaginary views that we supposedly dictate and control everything in their lives, when in reality they have never asked of us open questions about our involvement. They pretend falsely that they feel the Holy Spirit, when in reality we don't send the Spirit. They repeat the same witness as their other fellow ward members, in hopes that what they believe is true, and somehow stating their testimony of "I know the church is true" is really factual and deeply felt. There is such a facade of fake religious action and belief among so many in your area, in the LDS church in particular, that we are very disgusted.

In addition, they hold in great esteem all of the general authorities of the church that they blindly follow every word and action. Mary Ann wrote you an email yesterday that because President Nelson was vaccinated, supposedly against the coronavirus, people in the church are being led like sheep to the slaughter, following his and the quorum of the twelves' examples. She wrote: 'It seems no one will think for themselves, but would rather be told what to do instead of turning to God for answers."

When our mortal children openly pray to us, in their humility and sincerity, with a commitment to do as we reveal to them, we will always start to give them our guidance. We will ultimately lead them to all truth if they consistently continue to seek us and then act on our personal revelations. We will never tell them to blindly follow their leaders. Instead, we will witness of truth, and may confirm to them what we have or have not revealed to their leaders.

In the case of the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve receiving and recommending to all to be good citizens and receive the new vaccinations, they did this entirely on their own, without our guidance. Taking these injections could do them great harm, and is motivated by evil plans of those who wield great power to destroy our children. We reiterate to you again to not take any such supposed vaccinations, for these will not protect you, but instead may ultimately be extremely harmful. This is our word for all of our mortal children.'

Heavenly Mother then spoke: 'Raphael, I will send my Holy Ghost upon each of my inquiring children who inquire of us, their Gods, to not take these injections. We will also confirm all of the words Heavenly Father just revealed to you. We never ask our children to follow anything a leader may state without revealing whether they are in the right way or not, and whether what they state is of us or not. None of our mortal children, at any age, should take these supposed vaccinations. We will confirm these same words to all.

There are many evil plans in the works that are in place and moving forward, relating to whether a person has or has not received their vaccinations. There will not only be travel restrictions soon imposed, but also restrictions on purchasing items or entry into places of business. Although this is not the mark of the beast as some may suppose, the restrictions of freedoms will come about if one does not participate and receive these inoculations. So much of this coronavirus is being politicized to the advancement of the new regime coming to your land, and the destruction of your republic and freedoms.

Read what our prophet Isaiah spoke of members of the LDS Church in your day, those who are of the house of Israel and who are supposedly guided by us:

Isaiah 1:3-6

"The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.

Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the Lord, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.

Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.

From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment."

Also Isaiah 28:7-8

"But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment.

For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean."'

I thanked my Heavenly Mother and Heavenly Father for their clear words to me this morning. I said I would not take the COVID-19 vaccination, but would seek their directions always to confirm what I should do, even in all things of major importance, in these treacherous times we are entering into.

My Heavenly Parents then rose back up into and through the forest canopy, and were soon out of sight. I reread my entry of their words, and confirmed the truth of what I had received this morning. I closed my prayer and started my new day."

This is the state of apostasy of Israel and the nation where Israel lives in last days. The use of the ox and ass, stupid animals that are more obedient than Israel, is a stark comparison to how wayward God considers the people of Israel. Note that in verse 4 the Lord directs his comments to the sinful nation where Israel is living, and since Israel is the covenant people of God (LDS), it is the main nation of the LDS, or the United States in the beginning of these last days. The sin is prevalent and general. It also had a meaning in former days to the nation of Israel when it was apostate. The remainder of this chapter from the latter-day context is directed to the LDS people and their main nation (the USA) and their states before their falls. Some of the harsh words are also to the LDS Church and its people.

Note that the people will not repent, but will revolt more and more, and the Lord has no option but to cleanse them. This is in agreement with D&C 29:17 (..."for behold, my blood shall not cleanse them if they hear me not."). If the people were right with the Lord, the chastisement would cause them to be humble, but since they are generally evil, chastisement will only cause more revolting and obstinance. This is from the lowest to the highest among the people in this wicked society (from the foot even unto the head).

See also Mormon 8:38 wherein the Lord says that we have polluted the holy church of God. See verses 31, 38-41. He says in verse 6 that there is no soundness in it (in Israel's political government). I believe the putrifying sores are recent, not old wounds, that haven't even had any bandages or healing ointment applied.

Isaiah 1:7
7 Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.

Fri, Jun 14, 2024
I received today this revelation while in my personal scripture study and prayer: In the last days, during the transition from the telestial to the terrestrial, there will be parts of of the telestial earth that will temporarily remain for the benefit of which those who are caught up in the air to meet Jesus Christ. These righteous souls who were caught up in the clouds with Jesus Christ will return to their own lands and houses after they all descend to the earth. If these faithful individuals were devoid of their homes and places of residences, where would they return after Jesus comes back to the earth?

They could not come back to the barren terrestrial land, for there will be much of the land where there is still no food yet in that land. Their own lands and properties of these terrestrial mortal people living on the earth will be preserved for them, for their comfort and well-being in their transition into the millennium. Prior to the second coming of Jesus Christ, God will not only transition the righteousness elect into terrestrial individuals (who possess terrestrial or celestial natures), but will also elevate their properties and lands from a telestial to a terrestrial state. Everything on their property will be preserved and transition into the terrestrial millennial state. This change will protect their properties and land when the devouring fire of Jesus Christ consumes the telestial and the wicked.

In this regard, there will be only the elect, the terrestrial and celestial individuals, that endure the final destruction of the telestial at the time of the coming of Jesus Christ.

Once terrestrial living water flows to all the earth, these places where the righteous will have been preserved, their lands and properties will then fully transition into a beautiful Garden of Eden-like world. This is the heritage of the righteous when Jesus comes again! See my notes in Revelation 21:6 where my Heavenly Parents explain how celestial living water propogates and creates terrestrial living water (references: 92C12-92C13 and 94D4-94D11)

In the homes of the righteous that will be preserved, will also be their records, beds, furniture, pets, animals and all life and property that is not disturbed. In this way the belongings of the Saints will be preserved and also be transitioned into the glorious millennial day! All of their tools, seeds, homes, outbuildings and equipment will also come with them into this new glorious world, for all will have been transitioned from a telestial to a terrestrial state.

However, down the road from them, where there lived a telestial individual or individuals, they will have been destroyed, along with their houses, belongings and lands. I imagine, however, that there will also be some pockets of empty buildings between the homes of the elect, rather than just barren lands. This is when the scripture in 3 Nephi 22:3 is fulfilled: "For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left, and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles and make the desolate cities to be inhabited."

Only the righteous will have been preserved and moved forward into this glorious millennial day! Were there a family member who was terrestrial or celestial in nature, living among the telestial family or friend, they would be preserved while the telestial individuals destroyed. All individuals who are of a telestial nature will be consumed by the fire of Jesus. This includes their physical bodies, for these will be consumed in the fire of the Lord. For these mixed families, their property would be preserved for the sake of the righteous who will return to their homes and properties.

Then will be fulfilled the scripture of Jesus Christ found in Joseph Smith Matthew 1:35-55 [my comments in brackets]:

"Although, the days will come, that heaven and earth shall pass away; yet my words shall not pass away, but all shall be fulfilled. [The heaven and earth are the telestial heaven, or atmosphere, and the telestial earth, which shall perish and return to elemental matter]

And, as I said before, after the tribulation of those days, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken, 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;

And whoso treasureth up my word, shall not be deceived, for the Son of Man shall come, and he shall send his angels before him with the great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together the remainder of his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. [Those of a terrestrial or celestial nature, who are the elect chosen of the Father, will be gathered above the earth in the clouds of heaven, to descend to the terrestrial earth with Jesus Christ. See D&C 45:44-46:

"And then they shall look for me, and, behold, I will come; and they shall see me in the clouds of heaven, clothed with power and great glory; with all the holy angels; and he that watches not for me shall be cut off.

But before the arm of the Lord shall fall, an angel shall sound his trump, and the saints that have slept shall come forth to meet me in the cloud.

Wherefore, if ye have slept in peace blessed are you; for as you now behold me and know that I am, even so shall ye come unto me and your souls shall live, and your redemption shall be perfected; and the saints shall come forth from the four quarters of the earth." [The saints include the mortal elect of God, scattered all over the earth]]

Now learn a parable of the fig tree—When its branches are yet tender, and it begins to put forth leaves, you know that summer is nigh at hand;

So likewise, mine elect, when they shall see all these things, they shall know that he is near, even at the doors;

But of that day, and hour, no one knoweth; no, not the angels of God in heaven, but my Father only.

But as it was in the days of Noah, so it shall be also at the coming of the Son of Man;

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; [see Zachariah 13:8-9:

"And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein.

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."]

Two shall be grinding at the mill, the one shall be taken, and the other left; [The ones who are taken are the elect of God, caught up in the clouds of heaven with Jesus Christ as he returns in glory to the earth. Those who are left are the telestial, and will be burned at the coming of Jesus Christ. They will all be ushered into the telestial regions of the spirit world.]

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.

Who, then, is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?

Blessed is that servant whom his lord, when he cometh, shall find so doing; and verily I say unto you, he shall make him ruler over all his goods. [This and the previous verse are a direct reference to the righteous returning to their property, and remaining as faithful stewards over their property, lands and possessions in the millennium, while the wicked perish around them]

But if that evil servant shall say in his heart: My lord delayeth his coming,

And shall begin to smite his fellow-servants, and to eat and drink with the drunken,

The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,

And shall cut him asunder, and shall appoint him his portion with the hypocrites; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. [This refers to the destruction of the telestial wicked at the second coming of Jesus Christ]

And thus cometh the end of the wicked, according to the prophecy of Moses, saying: They shall be cut off from among the people; but the end of the earth is not yet, but by and by."

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.

175I3-175I6, from Heavenly Mother: "She spoke: 'Raphael, the removal of your burnt and destroyed greenhouse and chicken coop may seem like a lot of work and effort. This will be like the future devastation that will be found in your land of America, particularly in the cities, as the wicked kill the wicked and the land, large buildings, homes, and structures and landscapes of all kinds become destroyed and devastated. When the ungodly are removed from the land by reason of the wars, calamities of all varieties, and the convulsions of the earth, our people will make the desolate inhabited. Their labors and efforts will make the land lovely again.

Ezekiel 36:33-36,38 "Thus saith the Lord God; In the day that I shall have cleansed you from all your iniquities I will also cause you to dwell in the cities, and the wastes shall be builded.

And the desolate land shall be tilled, whereas it lay desolate in the sight of all that passed by.

And they shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are become fenced, and are inhabited.

Then the heathen that are left round about you (these are the last of the telestial inhabitants of the land that will not survive the day of the coming of the Son of Man in his glory) shall know that I the Lord build the ruined places, and plant that that was desolate: I the Lord have spoken it, and I will do it.

As the holy flock, as the flock of (the New) Jerusalem in her solemn feasts; so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men: and they shall know that I am the Lord." (words in parentheses by Heavenly Mother).

Soon your own nation will burn and become desolate, Isaiah 1:7-9 "Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.

And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.

Except the Lord of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah."

Raphael, all of these desolations need to be, and then the rebuilding and beautifying will again happen as the new land and her righteous inhabitants transition into a terrestrial earth. Our people will work steadily at removing the destroyed and building up the new. The land will become transformed into a pure and beautiful land. Our Zion cities and habitations will spread forth peaceably upon the land. Then the previous destruction will only be a memory and be seen as a memorial here and there of a previous world.'"

143F4-143F15, from Heavenly Father: ""Raphael, don't be afraid of the conspiracies and evil data collections in your land. We know of their wicked intentions of controlling the population by their methods of blackmail, manipulation, and subterfuge. These will be stopped short by those who come to destroy your land, and by the natural disasters and convulsions from the earth itself.

Isaiah 28: 17-18

"Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.

And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it. (This means that your secret societies, plans, and hidden agendas from the public places to control the population will all be destroyed by calamity, natural disasters, and the invading armies that will surely come to your land)." (words in parenthesis by Heavenly Father in this and other scripture passages listed today).

Isaiah 1: 7, 28

"Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers."

"And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the Lord shall be consumed."

Once we have the remnants of Israel come and then destroy the power of the invading army, then we will have a land and the wicked cleansed from this our land of promise. Those who remain will be generally open to our promptings, and there will be many who are of our terrestrial elect. This will be just as we wish in order to start rebuilding the land in righteousness.

Isaiah 1: 26-27

"And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning (constitutional law and order will be reestablished in your land): afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city (this includes all the cities of Zion that will be built up throughout the land, including the New Jerusalem).

Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness."

Micah 4: 1-3

"But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be established in the top of the mountains (in the top of the nations, in the center of the land), and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it (or flow unto the New Jerusalem).

And many nations shall come (after they are reestablished upon righteous principles throughout the breadth of the earth), and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the Lord from (the New) Jerusalem.

And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more."

Until that time of the millennial day, we will actively guide and protect our people, the elect of God whom I have chosen.

Isaiah 26: 20-21

"Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee (and pray humbly to me and we your Gods will answer you, and lead and protect you by our Spirit and our angels): hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.

For, behold, the Lord cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.

Isaiah 10:4

"Without me they shall bow down under the prisoners, and they shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still."

13. Raphael, we will speak peace to our elect, those whom we have chosen to establish Zion and to come into the millennial days of rest. We will carefully guide them, and answer their every need in the days of privation and great difficulty. We will comfort and sustain them if they will follow our guidance, and seek our face!

I thanked my very powerful and sure Heavenly Father for his words to me this morning!

We were then both watching the misty clouds between us and the temple in the distance. They had completely covered the view of the temple, but now were again quickly dispersing. As we watched they completely disappeared.

Heavenly Father spoke: "Raphael, these white clouds are like the trouble that will come upon our faithful, that are expressed in the scripture Isaiah 54: 7-10.

"For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee (it will only appear this way to the conscious minds of our elect, but we will be in continual connection with them by our still small voice that we will give to their unconscious self).

In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the Lord thy Redeemer.

For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.

For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee." (see also verses 11-17)"

Isaiah 1:8
8 And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.

Thu, Mar 21, 2024
The only major ones remaining after the destruction the land will be those righteous who have been identified as the elect of God. The daughter of Zion is primarily those illegal aliens that have come into the United States, and are of the seed of Israel. These dwell in a "besieged city", even in the midst of Babylon.

From an online bible dictionary: "A lodge in a garden of cucumbers" (Isaiah 1:8) is the rough wooden booth erected by the owner from which he keeps guard over his ripening vegetables. It is commonly raised upon poles and, when abandoned for the season, it falls into decay and presents a dreary spectacle of tottering poles and dead leaves.

18414: "I received this email from S today on 1-26-2021, entitled "Hedge, garden of cucumbers, ashes, glory":

"Raphael, I had a short prayer last night with Heavenly Father where he quoted words or phrases from Isaiah. I went and looked up each one in Isaiah and read many of the verses surrounding each one and I received greater insight. It was special to me. I heard Heavenly Mother whisper to share it with you as I went to bed last night.

1-25-21 P.M.

In prayer, I called upon my Heavenly Parents. I came to the sky overlooking the celestial orb. Heavenly Father was there in white robes with a red sky in the background. Heavenly Father spoke, 'You will continue to see this red sky until Raphael blows his trumpet signaling the end of the 5 month occupation. Your nation has been supported and preserved by my almighty hand for over 200 years. My protecting hand has now been withdrawn. I have withdrawn the hedge about you (Isaiah 5:5) and your nation shall be as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city (Isaiah 1:8).

Weep not for the fall of this nation, but pray and look forward to Zion that will spring forth from her ashes (Isaiah 61: 3-4) and rise in glory (Isaiah 59:19).

Be at peace.'

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his words and then I closed my prayer. I opened the scriptures and read the verses surrounding what he quoted from Isaiah. I sat for a time just pondering these words. I feel our time is now short as a nation.

Your friend, S"

Isaiah 1:9
9 Except the Lord of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.

Thu, Mar 21, 2024
After destruction on the land, there will be a righteous remnant left who constitute the elect. The wicked will have been partly destroyed as part of the cleansing process. Those who have lived the wicked practices of ancient Sodom and Gomorrah will be cleansed from the land unless they repented and came to their Savior.

Isaiah 1:10
10 Hear the word of the Lord, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.

The United States and many other organizations including churches will be led by wicked leaders who promote homosexuality, or allow such practices.

Isaiah 1:11-12
11 To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the Lord: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.

12 When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?

Tue, Dec 19, 2023
This was given directly in the context of religious worship of Israel in the last days (the LDS people) and Israel of Isaiah in former days. In our day, the replacement of burnt offerings is the sacrament. Therefore, we are taking the sacrament in a way not pleasing God, treading his courts. This is also true of going to the temple with worldliness in our hearts, and not repenting, but doing vain worship. He is sick of our hypocrisy I believe, and wants us to be vain no more. The sacrifices we are making are vain with not real intent, they are multitudinous, but of no real meaning because they are not offered with a broken heart and a contrite spirit (see 3 Ne 9:20-22, 11:37-38). Much of what we sacrifice is based on brainwashing from our leaders who have "led this people astray." We have willingly subjegated our own will to our leaders, under the pressure of the LDS culture.

______________________________

Isaiah 1:12-16
12 When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?

13 Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.

14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.

15 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.

16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;

Thu, Mar 21, 2024
Vain worshipping is abhorrent to the Lord. Note the feasts like Halloween, Christmas, Easter and maybe even Thanksgiving are not celebrated by the people in a righteous way.

The new moons and sabbaths are a direct reference, I feel, to our fast and testimony meetings. These solemn meetings are iniquity, vain; He hates them. Why? Because they aren't done in sincerity of heart, but by mostly tradition and rote.

How are our hands full of blood in our society? Abortions, support of political leaders that have perpetrated murder, support of GMOs and foods that are designed to harm people, inoculations that kill or maim, support of socialist agendas that imprison or impoverish people, supporting a government or leaders that use drug money, or money printed out of thin air, to tax and impoverish the poor, support of the AMA and medical practices that harm more than heal, and brainwashing church members to do their bidding which may not be the Lord's will.

199J3-199J7: "Heavenly Mother spoke: 'Raphael, I had a hand in your granddaughter's successful surgery. When you touched her heart with the tip of your healing sword of Raphael, I blessed her to have successful repair and recovery. We are pleased when our children petition us in prayer and fasting for one of their own in need.

If my people repent of their sins and shortcomings, and come unto us, their Gods in faith and humble supplication, we hear their prayers and send forth healing blessings upon them. However, if the people don't repent, nor humbly open their hearts and minds to us, we will not hear their petitions. If they continue in a lifestyle of Babylon, or the wicked world around them, and have no intention to change their ways, how can we hear them, or answer their cursory prayers?

Isaiah 1:19-20

"If ye be willing and obedient (to our Spirit, seeking to change your lives and do as we gently prompt you), ye shall eat the good of the land (and receive healing to your souls, and your loved ones):

But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword (and not have our blessings attend you): for the mouth of the Lord had spoken it.

Isaiah 1:13-16

"Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting. (These and the next verse are the fast and testimony meetings, typical in the LDS wards over your land, and general meetings wherein false doctrine and promises are made, all void of our Spirit).

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. (This blood is because many of the people support evil practices in the land that cause death, including abortions of the innocent and those who promote it. There are those also who support the quiet killing of those who take the supposed vaccine and suffer and needlessly die because of its intended use to cause death in many. Finally there are many more covered and hidden sins of your society.)

Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;" (Raphael, when the citizens of your land support policies and practices in your wicked society that promote captivity and death, and support the clever plans of the adversary, knowingly or not, they promote evil and are accomplices of these evil practices. We will not hold them guiltless.) (words in parentheses from Heavenly Mother).

In some cases, like the full healing of your son A, from his brain injury on his mission eleven years ago, we chose to delay his healing until he comes with you to the New Jerusalem. The trial of your faith, and that of your wife and loved ones, has been part of a greater plan to strengthen you in your own trials. It has not been easy, but this has helped shape you and prepare your hearts and minds for Zion. Raphael, sometimes the prayers of our humble and petitioning righteous ones are answered in ways we see best to answer them. We see the overall situation and future much more clearly, and will do according to our desires. We will strengthen and bless those who continue to petition us in their prayers, during their trials and afflictions.'"

142D13-142D17, from Heavenly Mother: "The manner of the Zoramites is being practiced again in your modern times, among many Christian churches, and among many members of the LDS church.

When a member of your own ward opens or closes a sacrament meeting in prayer, they usually repeat the same phrases that they have heard from others, and elevate themselves in their prayers above those who don't have the gospel, or are not like them, or have been rejected by them. Their expressions of gratitude are pleasing to us, but are often not followed by a desire to be open and free with their substance, or wanting to care for the poor and needy, or help those who may be downtrodden or rejected by the congregation because they are different.

These same individuals often have a narrow group of believers with whom they socialize, but then they won't talk to those outside of their exclusive group. Their religion is more a social circle who are elevated above the rest. They are exclusive in their associations. They pass around made-up stories of how God did this or that thing for them, because they are special in some way. These make believe stories are entirely from themselves, and have no foundation or evidence of truth.

We particularly are very tired of their monthly testimony meetings! There is rarely one who is truly humble and open to us, who in their penitence expresses a deep felt testimony of God's goodness to them. If they do, I send forth my Holy Ghost and the Holy Spirit to testify of this truth to the congregation, so that they may be uplifted and buoyed up in truth and light. This even happens rarely now in your land, among the LDS people.

Isaiah, our prophet, prophesied about these people of your day, in the very introductory chapter to his great book of Isaiah:

Isaiah 1:13-15

"Bring no more vain oblation; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.

Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.

And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you; yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear; your hands are full of blood.""

______________________________

Isaiah 1:14-15
14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.

15 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.

75J1-75J8: "I went there and came upon my Heavenly Mother. I knelt before her.

She was crying, or had recently cried, for her eyes were wet still with tears. I humbly asked her what was wrong and why she had been crying.

Heavenly Mother responded:

'Raphael, I am distressed by my many children, many of them the elect whom we have chosen, who have said that I, their Mother and the Holy Ghost, had inspired them and witnessed to them that President Russell M. Nelson was God's prophet. Many said this with gushing words and tears this last Sunday in their testimony meetings.

Raphael, I have not inspired or spoken to any of them, to witness to them he was their prophet! I have watched as they claimed it is me who inspired them. Instead, it is either their own emotional feelings they take as my spirit of the Holy Ghost, or a false lying spirit that whispers this to them!'

I looked upon her face and she started crying again, being so sad at the state of many of her sons and daughters!

She then asked me to write her words up to this point and to write the remainder.

I have written to this point. I now see a changed Heavenly Mother, for when I look now in her face I see her upset feelings, now being turned into disgust and determination to do something to remedy this situation.

Heavenly Mother then spoke. Her tears had dried, yet she seemed a little red around her eyes, and swollen in her cheeks and around her eyes, I think from crying.

'Raphael, your Heavenly Father and I will now come out of our hiding place and affect the lives of the elect children who are in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, who are thinking they hear our voice and really don't. We have planned to orchestrate circumstances that will shake up their lives. Many will start to question everything; particularly those they think are chosen of God and are not. Some will wander away from us, in their attempt to find truth. Others will come more and more to us, with at first questions that will create doubt and wonder, with a desire to be open. It will be very hard for many to truly become open and humble enough to be ready for me, their Holy Ghost, to touch them and lead them gently to our truths.

This whole experience of what your Father, Jesus Christ, and I see is becoming truly disgusting to us. Here is how we now feel.

Isaiah 1:14-15

"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."

Here also is what we will do to stir up our elect who thus deceive themselves: Isaiah 1:20, 24, 25, 28, 31–

"But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.

Therefore saith the Lord, the Lord of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies.

And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin:

And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the Lord shall be consumed.

and the strong shall be as tow, and the maker of it as a spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them."

Raphael, those who read your words should read and study again Isaiah chapters 1 and 28, for our disgust has reached a breaking point.'

I looked on my Heavenly Mother. Her eyes were becoming very determined, and were filled with disgust it seemed. She extended her hands to me and I stood, holding both her hands. We then were immediately rising up in the air, over the western desert. We traveled together to the high mountaintop, next to her upper garden.

She then turned me to look into the western skies, to see the fast and testimony meetings this last Sunday throughout the LDS church. It seemed all the same: filled with so many gushy testimonies, claiming the Spirit touched them and witnessed the "truth" that the new prophet was called of God.

Heavenly Mother then turned me to see into the near future, into the eastern skies. I next saw calamity of all types coming upon this land of America and also across the entire globe. I saw war in our own land. I saw earthquakes and Mother Earth convulsing, and many sever weather and other destructions!"

79M2-79M6, from Heavenly Mother: "'Raphael, share more with your wife this week about this lovely mountain stream, the flowers and trees here. Tell her that you feel loved and accepted by your Father and I.

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."

Raphael, your work is to continue to publish our words to you, to those very few who will listen and hear. We will give you revelation upon revelation to counter the hollow and lifeless spiritual chasm that is all around you.'"

Isaiah 1:16-20
16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;

17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.

18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:

20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.

Sun, Mar 17, 2024
We need to humbly repent, and then the Lord's atonement will cleanse us. We need to live Christ-like lives where we are charitable, caring, loving, serving--this is what really matters! Isaiah gives specifics here of relieving the oppressed, helping the fatherless and widow. He will freely forgive as we repent, so that our sins are washed clean. We need to be willing and obedient.

82L10-82L14, from Heavenly Mother: "We would like to emphasize one thing tonight, and that is how the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has been a great benefit in shaping your life, your view, and your gospel knowledge. The teachings of this church has provided a solid and very helpful basis for you to be able to start approaching us, your Heavenly Parents, on your own. We have watched you over your life as you have been schooled and trained in the scriptures and the doctrine given through Joseph Smith the prophet, and those who have succeeded him. There is still an inordinate amount of good that the LDS Church and its leaders promote. At this time, it is still the preferred church in which to raise children in this troubled world.

However, there has been a lot of falsehood, which has also been introduced into the LDS Church that now are taken as gospel truths. Past and present leaders have perpetuated this, even though many of them recognized these falsehoods. They didn't alert the membership partly in order to keep honor to those who began these falsehood. It would also have greatly diminished their own claim to divine revelation, and diminish the support they would have received from the membership.

We have backed away from the current leadership now, and no longer give them our revelations, for they have rejected us and our doctrine that we tried to introduce to them. There are so many members that don't realize this is now the case. It is our desire that these members ultimately each approach us, in humility and openness, and then we will reveal this schism to them.

For those who question and receive our answer, they will have to wait until the Church of Christ is restored again through the prophet Joseph Smith. All things will then be reset in order.

Isaiah 1:26-27–

"And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counselors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.

Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness." '

I thanked them for guiding me into the LDS Church while yet a 14-year old boy. I was baptized at age 15, and began my spiritual schooling within this church. I am so glad for all of this preparation!"

Isaiah 1:17
17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.

145F3-145F7, 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.'"

Isaiah 1:19-20
19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:

20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.

182C5-182C14: "Heavenly Mother spoke: 'Raphael, you are still weak and yet you try consistently to come to us twice a day. Because of this, and because of your repentance, humility and openness, we come to you and you are brought into our presence. If our elect will do as you do, even though they might have big weaknesses of the flesh, we will accept them and come to them, even at their sides to support them. Isaiah spoke of our acceptance of the elect who are meek and lowly, humble and repentant, and who diligently come unto us:

Isaiah 1:16-20

"Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;

Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.

Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:

But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it."

Raphael, it is the overall effort in one's life of seeking to be righteous and becoming like our Son, Jesus Christ, by which we judge them. We see this behavior as being willing and obedient.

Nephi wrote this of these sorts of people, our elect, who made their way to the tree of life:

1 Nephi 8:30

"But, to be short in writing, behold, he saw other multitudes pressing forward; and they came and caught hold of the end of the rod of iron; and they did press their way forward, continually holding fast to the rod of iron, until they came forth and fell down and partook of the fruit of the tree."

Along the way to their goal of reaching the tree of life, these, our elect, stumbled and some fell. However, they got up and continued to press forth and were diligent in their daily effort to come to the tree of life. The rod of iron, even the gospel of Jesus Christ, was given to them by the voice of our Spirit in their trek. They hear our voice and keep our commandments. They will eventually be rewarded with eternal life.'

Heavenly Father then spoke to me. I turned my head and faced him: ''Raphael, we forgive you for your mistakes and weak behaviors, for you are not yet perfected. Keep pressing forth with diligence, and you will become the man of God we know you can and will be. What you do daily and repeatedly is the path you are pursuing in your life. We know your heart and intent, for we walk beside you daily and see your efforts in trying to become a holy and loving man. You are still called as our prophet and archangel Raphael, even though you may feel weak and occasionally stumble.

Nephi, our prophet of old, who was the son of Lehi, felt the way you do:

2 Nephi 4:15-19

"Behold, my soul delighteth in the things of the Lord; and my heart pondereth continually upon the things which I have seen and heard.

Nevertheless, notwithstanding the great goodness of the Lord, in showing me his great and marvelous works, my heart exclaimeth: O wretched man that I am! Yea, my heart sorroweth because of my flesh; my soul grieveth because of mine iniquities.

I am encompassed about, because of the temptations and the sins which do so easily beset me.

And when I desire to rejoice, my heart groaneth because of my sins; nevertheless, I know in whom I have trusted."

Raphael, like Nephi, we have "been your support" and have "led you through (your) afflictions" (see verse 20 of above selection). We will continually be by your side and give you answers to your prayers, and abundant revelations. This is the same pattern we give to all of our children.Those who come unto us, and draw near to us, we will in turn draw near to them (D&C 88:63). We will lead and guide them in their lives, even as they are willing."

21 How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.

Tue, Dec 19, 2023
The faithful city is probably Salt Lake City, now becoming wicked like those of the world. There are murderers in this city (crime, abortions, gay agendas). The people in the city have proven to be treacherous and unfaithful, as in breaking a marriage contract with God. They used to be faithful, righteous and a covenant people. If we don't repent, the invading armies will come and slay and subject us to their rule for a time.

Isaiah 1:22
22 Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water:

Thu, Mar 21, 2024
Silver (money) is mixed with base metals: the metaphor is wine mixed with water. From now on in Isaiah, wine often means something having to do with the money supply.

Sat, Nov 15, 2024
While meditating last night, I thought how the deep state who is now in power in our country, will try to stop our new President-elect Donald Trump, from his very conservative actions he plans to reduce the size of the federal government. He wants the power to go back to the states where it was intended to be in our constitution. I thought that this deep state would probably not try again to assassinate him, which they have already tried twice recently, but will instead bring on a financial disaster before his inauguration date in January. I felt that this might well occur, with a stock market crash that would greatly disrupt the money supply in the United States and bring the economy to a standstill. Since our money supply in the United States is no longer founded on the precious metals, but more on derivatives, or promises of payment, and printed paper money, this could all come tumbling down, probably before the first of January, 2025.

In praying about this, i felt that this money supply crash might truly happen soon. I also felt not to withdraw our money from the stock market now. However, taking money out of our bank accounts to a minimal amount would be wise.

Isaiah 1:23
23 Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.

Thu, Mar 21, 2024
The princes (those who have a right to lead the people) are governmental leaders of the states like Utah and that of the federal USA who are rebellious, wicked, thieves, etc. Industry is criminal with the government who are corrupt because of their power over the people.

The people are also focused on rewards and gifts. Reward cards are in most every retail store and restaurant, a sign of our day. Rewards might also refer to bribes that the leaders succumb to which circumvents justice and leaves the poor of the people in distress without an ally.

Again, we are under condemnation because we ignore the poor and needy around us, the fatherless and widows.

Isaiah 1:26
26 And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.

Thu, Mar 21, 2024
After the cleansing, and transition into the terrestrial millennial world, we will live by constitutional law and government as in the beginning of this nation. Before this our land was akin to Sodom and Gomorrah (v 9), but now it is called the city of righteousness.

97C12-97C20: "Heavenly Father then addressed me: 'Raphael, before August 2014, I came to every sacrament meeting in the LDS Church. After this date, your Heavenly Mother, Jesus Christ and I decided not to come anymore to the sacrament meetings of this church. I used to come in this location in front of the podium in the chapels of the church. We will not return to the chapels during the sacrament until the new and restored Church of Christ is reestablished again on the earth. This will be when we will restore the judges and counselors as at the beginning of this dispensation:

Isaiah 1:26

"And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counselors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city."

In that day I will come to this same position in front of the podium in all of the sacrament meetings of my church, the Church of Christ. Jesus Christ, my Beloved Son, will also come in the celestial realms at the sacrament table. He will make sure it is administered in a way pleasing to him. Heavenly Mother will also frequently come to all or portions of the meetings.

The Church of the Firstborn will not have regular weekly meetings of the saints. These will be held in the Church of Christ where the meetings will be conducted after the workings of the Spirit, and by the power of the Holy Ghost, like those of the righteous Nephites of old.

Moroni 6:9

"And their meetings were conducted by the church after the manner of the workings of the Spirit, and by the power of the Holy Ghost; for as the power of the Holy Ghost led them whether to preach, or to exhort, or to pray, or to supplicate, or to sing, even so it was done."

It is during these times that your Heavenly Mother will frequently come in the power of the Holy Ghost, to inspire those in the sacrament meetings in the future restored Church of Christ. She will also attend other meetings that may be held as our people invite her to come, acting in her role as the Holy Ghost.

We are able to come to all the sacrament meetings of the Church of Christ because of our ability to replicate ourselves, being in multiple meetings at the same time.

Before August 2014, you always saw me at every sacrament meeting for about one year, in the air above and in front of the podium. You rarely saw your Heavenly Mother attending. This was because there were hardly ever meetings that were conducted by the power of the Holy Ghost. She would have come, but the saints had, by that time in your area, mostly lost the companionship of the Holy Ghost.'

At this time the door opened again to the chapel and Heavenly Mother came in! She immediately came next to my Father. After greeting him, she looked at me and spoke:

'Raphael, each year among my Latter-day Saints who have been commanded to receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, I came less frequently. I do this because the people are more steeped in sin and do not invite me into their lives as frequently as the year before. They are very concerned with the temporal lives they lead, and are making less time for God. This saddens me for I yearn to be close to each one!

In the future restored Church of Christ, the saints of that day will seek me humbly as did the righteous Nephites of old. Then will I make my abode as the Holy Ghost with these, my humble and obedient children. They may have my continual presence, as do you, to help guide and direct them in their lives!'

I thanked my loving Heavenly Parents who stood before me! They were both smiling at me. The light of their presence filled me with joy and great peace!"

Sat, Jan 11, 2025
The kingdom of God on the earth has begun, with the light of the thousand suns event (see 194H1 to 194H32, and my notes in Daniel 2:44-45)! This kingdom will be established and expanded in full force in the millennium, with Jesus Christ as its head. All nations of the earth will be subject to the laws and rules of the kingdom of God on earth. These are Christian rules of conduct for all nations and peoles of the earth to obey and follow, as pertain to ways we interact and accept each other in righteousness. The governing center of this kingdom of God will be in the New Jerusalem, for out of the (New Jerusalem) shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem" (see Isaiah 2:2-3).

29 For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.

Thu, Mar 21, 2024
The people who are destroyed in the land are transgressors and sinners (unknown and known breakers of the law I assume). The oaks refer to idol worship in ancient Israel, and may refer to gay activists activities and satanic ritual worship in our day.

The destruction of the wicked in Babylon and the Whore will be by burning which none can quench. Nuclear burning and ravaging sicknesses will be the initial cleansing on the land, and none can quench this. Burning by fire from Jesus Christ happens next at the final destruction of the wicked in America by the Lord. Tow refers to the coarse of broken part of hemp or flax, which ignites easily as kindling. The hypocrisy of the nation and its people will be the cause of all these calamities.

Isaiah 2:1

Judah and Jerusalem here refer to the Church of Christ in the millennial day. Compare also with Micah 4:1.

Isaiah 2:2
2 And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.

Sun, May 26, 2024
This is a reference to the millennial era, when the New Jerusalem will be located in the top of the mountains, on a high hill. All nations will come there to perform their eternal ordinances in the New Jerusalem celestial temple.

March 22. 2024, in prayer with Heavenly Father: Q- After my returning from the clouds of heaven, following the second coming of Jesus Christ, will these Utah mountains still be here?

A- Yes, the Wasatch front mountains (called the everlasting hills, see Genesis 49:26) will still be there after the earth's transition to the terrestrial mortal world. You are also correct when you thought that when treasures are hidden in the ground, and hid up to the Lord at the time of burial by a righteous man or woman, they are soon transferred from the telestial to the terrestrial mortal earth. This preserves these records from any unauthorized persons who might find them who live in the telestial mortal world. They cannot find them, for they are in a different realm, even the terrestrial.

4 Nephi 1:49: "And he did hide them up unto the Lord, that they might come again unto the remnant of the house of Jacob, according to the prophecies and the promises of the Lord."

2 Nephi 27:8,10: "Wherefore, because of the things which are sealed up, the things which are sealed shall not be delivered in the day of the wickedness and abominations of the people. Wherefore the book shall be kept from them.

But the words which are sealed he shall not deliver, neither shall he deliver the book. For the book shall be sealed by the power of God, and the revelation which was sealed shall be kept in the book until the own due time of the Lord, that they may come forth; for behold, they reveal all things from the foundation of the world unto the end thereof."

The Book of Mormon gold plates have been kept secret in the Hill Cumorah, hid by the Lord in the terrestrial earth, to come forth in the due time of the Lord during the millennial day:

2 Nephi 27:11: "And the day cometh that the words of the book which were sealed shall be read upon the house tops; and they shall be read by the power of Christ; and all things shall be revealed unto the children of men which ever have been among the children of men, and which ever will be even unto the end of the earth."

March 24, 2024: In prayer, from Heavenly Father: "Raphael, the gold plates of the Book of Mormon were returned by Joseph Smith to the angel Moroni who placed them in the second hill repository, now in one of the nine rooms of the Relief Mine near your home. This entire sacred section of the Nephites, dedicated to the Lord by those ancients, is in the terrestrial mortal earth, awaiting the time of its revealing after the second coming of Jesus Christ.

After the telestial earth transitions to the terrestrial earth, these records will be in the terrestrial realm, able to be accessed by you and the angels of God. The ancient southern tunnel entrance that the Nephites used will at that time be opened to the outside from Water Canyon. It will still be guarded by the angels, awaiting your arrival. This tunnel is the access you will use to enter into the nine rooms. When I tell you, you and the angels will transport all of these records, plus all of the precious things of the Nephites, to the library in the New Jerusalem that is now being built. The sealed portion of the Book of Mormon record, once placed in the New Jerusalem, will be translated by Simiel, our archangel, who is assigned to translate these ancient records [see notes in Joseph Smith History 1:65]. Once completed, they will be published and "read upon the house tops" (2 Nephi 27:11).

April 20, 2024: In prayer today I confirmed that our ___ acre property in Utah County would be changed from a telestial to a terrestrial land, effective tomorrow evening, April 21, 2024. This change includes everything on the land. This also includes the Book of Raphael that are on this property. This record constitutes a record hid up to the Lord, to come forth in the due time of the Lord. This time of coming forth will be at the beginning of the millennium, once the wicked and telestial are destroyed. Prior to this time, the records will be preserved on this terrestrial piece of land.

Isaiah 2:2-3
2 And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.

3 And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

Mon, Nov 20, 2023
Note that this is also repeated in Micah ch 4:1. The "law" refers to the US Constitution from Zion (after the kingdom of God was established in the New Jerusalem, with the Constitution and the banner of freedom) and "word of the Lord from Jerusalem" (the New Jerusalem which is center city in Zion, the abode of Jesus Christ on the earth).

The mountains also refer to nations, or the mountain of the Lord's house will be the top of the nations in the millennial day.

Isaiah 3:9
9 The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves.

118C13-118C14: "You asked about the new change in the LDS Church concerning LGBT couples and their children. We did not inspire the leaders in any of their decisions. You also wondered if excommunication in the future Church of Christ would be required for those members who married their same gender.

Marriage is ordained of God between a man and a woman. This is the basis of procreation and is an ordained order of heaven.

Sexual intercourse or cohabitation outside the bounds of marriage, in any variation, is sin and is not acceptable to us, your Gods, in the Church of Christ. These situations were those we inspired the Nephite church to eliminate from their congregations, by blotting out their names from their church records. Any one of our children living in sexual sin, or participating in these perverse relationships, are not to be numbered among the members of our Church of Christ. They may visit our congregations, and be loved and cared for as neighbors and friends, but not have the intimate and nourishing fellowship of the saints within the Church of Christ.

Were we still inspiring the leaders of the LDS Church, we would have continued this same policy.'

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his clear response to a matter that came to my attention today.

This reminded me of what Isaiah said concerning our days where homosexuality is so rampant and expressed openly.

Isaiah 3:9 "The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! For they have rewarded evil unto themselves.""

Isaiah 3:16-17
16 Moreover the Lord saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:

17 Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the Lord will discover their secret parts.

Thu, Sep 25, 2014
The cleansing of the LDS church is needed before we are a pure and righteous people. Note that the daughters of Zion may refer not just to female, but to the church as the daughter, so it is that part of the church which have depended upon the world more than upon God. I also feel that the daughters of Zion may refer directly to the girls and women of our church, that they have gone after the ways of the world in their dress and standards.

Thu, Sep 25, 2014
The destruction will be with sackcloth (captivity) and burning (nuclear devastation)

Tue, Nov 29, 2011
The burning of rebellious LDS in Zion, I believe, will be caused by nuclear war at first and by burning by the Lord when he comes and cleanses the land. The daughters of Zion refers to both men and women who are not committed to the Lord (the five unwise virgins of the church).

Isaiah 4:2-3
2 In that day shall the branch of the Lord be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel.

3 And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem:

54M14-54M20, from Heavenly Father and R: "Consider these scriptures about the branch from the Old Testament:

Zechariah 6:11-13–

"Then take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them upon the head of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest;

And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the Lord:

Even he shall build the temple of the Lord; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both."

Comment: The branch in verse 12 is Raphael, who will build the temple in the New Jerusalem.

Jeremiah 23:5-6–

"Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.

In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, The Lord Our Righteous."

Comment: In verse 5, the righteous branch is Raphael, and the king is John the Beloved, the one raised unto David. The king will execute judgment and justice in the New Jerusalem. The verse would be better written as follows:

Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will raise a righteous Branch, and unto David a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth."

Hosea 3:4-5–

"For the children of Israel shall abide many days without a king, and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without an image, and without an ephod, and without teraphim:

Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the Lord their God, and David their king; and shall fear the Lord and his goodness in the latter days."

Comment: Verse 5 refers to the latter-day Davidic king, even John the Beloved.

Jeremiah 33:15–

"In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land."

Comment: This is a reference to Jesus Christ, who comes from the seed of David.

Zechariah 3:8 "Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit before thee: for they are men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the BRANCH.

Comment: I believe this is a reference to the last days' branch that builds the temple, although the reference is somewhat obscure.

Isaiah 4:2-3

"In that day shall the branch of the Lord be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel.

And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem:"

Comment: Verse 2 is a direct reference to the branch who shall build the New Jerusalem. In verse 3 there is a direct reference to the latter-day Zion and Jerusalem (New Jerusalem). It will be a holy city, and everyone who dwells in this city will be holy.

Isaiah 60:19-21

"The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the Lord shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory.

Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the Lord shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended.

Thy people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified."

Comment: This is a latter-days reference to the city of the New Jerusalem, where the light of God will illuminate the people, and God's temple. Verse 21 has a reference to "the branch of my planting", referring to the branch who would build the temple of God."

Tue, Nov 29, 2011
Zion shall be united and beautiful, the earth shall produce bountifully. The escaped of Israel, and those left in Zion (inferring more used to be there) are those that escape the burning.

Thu, Sep 25, 2014
The defense for Zion is like the Lord with children of Israel under Moses-this will be when the members of the church depend upon the Lord, not upon the world or an outside government. It will begin before the Marriage Supper of the Lamb and the attack on the Lord's people by the beast and kings of the earth. The strong defense will continue in America making it protected from all enemies.

Some of our elect will hear and obey, and others will not at first. We are doing everything in our power to teach and prepare them to receive a new world that they will soon come to. We continually ask ourselves "What more can we do?" in our efforts to bless, protect, teach and prepare our terrestrial elect sons and daughters on earth.

Isaiah 6:13
13 But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance is in them, when they cast their leaves: so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof.

Fri, Jan 19, 2024
The remnant of Israel is to return to the Lord and be the core of Zion, and to be what is remaining after the land of America is purged.

35E4-35E8: "I also was listening to the Book of Isaiah in the car on Monday, and listened to Isaiah chapter 6. This is where Isaiah sees the Lord, in the temple, and receives his commission. He saw the house (temple) filled with smoke (verse 4). In versus 6-7, one of the seraphims took a live coal from the alter, and touched Isaiah's lips with the coal, saying his sins were purged.

I realized then that Isaiah's visions occurred in front of the temple and inside the temple doors, where I have been! The alter from where the coal was taken, is the golden alter, just north of the temple doors, and next to the fountain of living waters. The smoke that filled the temple, is similar to the smoke which now fills the temple. I believe it represents the wrath of God. Isaiah was called to preach to the people, until our day, the day in which 'the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate' (verse 11).

In the last verse 13, Isaiah talks about eating a tree, and also about leaves. I had questions:

Q– In Isaiah 6:13, is Isaiah talking about the holy angels who will partake of the tree of life next week? A– Yes! Isaiah wrote this last verse in Isaiah 6:13, because he saw, at the time of his calling, the journey of the mortal angels in the future, who walked up to the tree of life, and partook of both the fruit and the leaf of that tree. Although not really clear in this verse as it now reads, he says the following (parenthesis added): '(the tree) shall be eaten (the fruit and the leaf of the tree) as a teil tree, and as an oak (the tree of life looks like a huge mature oak tree), whose substance (the powerful affect of the fruit and the leaf) is in them (in the angels who have eaten of the fruit), when they cast (eat) their leaves (the leaves of the tree of life): so the holy seed (the holy angels) shall be the substance thereof (the powerful affect of the tree of life will transfer to the holy seed or the holy angels, preparatory to their receiving their full power as holy angels in the flesh).'

Here is the full verse 13 without the comments:

'But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance is in them, when they cast their leaves: so the holy seed what be the substance thereof.'

You, who are God's holy angels, are privileged to partake of the fruit and the leaf of the tree of life, and thereby qualify as God's holy angels (the holy seed). You need to have this experience and strengthening effect from the tree of life, before being filled with the full power of your angelic commission. This power, authority and strength will be conferred in full upon you in the general assembly of heaven's angels, on the evening of the day you take your journey to the tree of life. The day that has been chosen by the Father is November 25, 2016."

Isaiah 7:17-20
17 The Lord shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy father’s house, days that have not come, from the day that Ephraim departed from Judah; even the king of Assyria.

18 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall hiss for the fly that is in the uttermost part of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.

19 And they shall come, and shall rest all of them in the desolate valleys, and in the holes of the rocks, and upon all thorns, and upon all bushes.

20 In the same day shall the Lord shave with a razor that is hired, namely, by them beyond the river, by the king of Assyria, the head, and the hair of the feet: and it shall also consume the beard.

Thu, Sep 25, 2014
This is a dual prophecy, to ancient Israel (Assyria took captive 10 tribes) and in the last days (Assyria (Russia), will come into USA and destroy). The valleys are desolate (v 19) because the land has been ravaged by nuclear burning. The razor that is hired is the attacking army that penetrates all the land except where the righteous live.

Isaiah 7:23-25
23 And it shall come to pass in that day, that every place shall be, where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silverlings, it shall even be for briers and thorns.

24 With arrows and with bows shall men come thither; because all the land shall become briers and thorns.

Thu, Sep 25, 2014
Silverlings are pieces of silver, therefore the money supply in the USA will be spent and collapse to briers and thorns. Briers and thorns. According to Avraham Gileadi: "Briers and Thorns = Wicked people in the Lord's Vineyard." If this is true, then the land will collapse to wicked people.

Isaiah 8:7-9
7 Now therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth up upon them the waters of the river, strong and many, even the king of Assyria, and all his glory: and he shall come up over all his channels, and go over all his banks:

8 And he shall pass through Judah; he shall overflow and go over, he shall reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel.

9 Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces.

Tue, Nov 29, 2011
One major method of last days warfare is with burning, either conventional warfare or nuclear warfare or burning from the presence of the Lord. The burning here I believe refers to the burning by the Lord when he finally destroys the beast in America at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

Isaiah 9:6
6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

65A14-6516: "Later: I just returned from a concert in our local high school of Handel's Messiah. It was great! I so enjoyed it. This was the first year for the Nebo Holiday Chorus and Orchestra performing–a local south Utah county new organization. I went with my wife and our son joined us part way after his work.

During the performance, I felt like I was in heaven at the east end of Lake Beautiful on the path! I sat on a bench next to the path while the choir, soloists and orchestra performed on earth. I felt I was alone in such a beautiful setting while I heard the concert. At one point, when the bass soloist sang "I will shake the heavens, and the earth, the sea and the dry land; and I will shake all nations; and the Desire of all Nations Shall Come!" (Haggai 2:6-7), I felt I saw in my mind Heavenly Father with his very firm eyes like I saw last night and this morning!

When the chorus sang from Isaiah 9:6, I felt I saw Jesus Christ in the path to my left! I immediately knelt down in the path facing my Savior during this stirring number: 'For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is give; and the government shall be upon His shoulder, and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.'

Then I heard the tenor sing from Psalms 2:9 'Thou shalt break them with the rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel'. I immediately knew this would be fulfilled by John the Beloved! He was actually given a silver rod to afflict the nations of the earth (see my post #59 The Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur). John the Beloved has this mission in these last days and will raise his rod that he was given to smite the nations and break them in pieces. He was given a silver rod I believe, not an iron rod as the bible states in Psalms 2:9.""

This refers to 9-11-2001, when the towers fell. What happened in the United States was similar to what happened in Israel 3000 years earlier. This was on the Shemitah years, and the climax of the year in the month of Alul and Trishri. See the book The Harbinger and The Mystery Of The Shemitah, by Jonathan Cahn.

Isaiah 9:14-15
14 Therefore the Lord will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush, in one day.

15 The ancient and honourable, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail.

Sat, Mar 2, 2024
This is the destruction in one day of the United States, and it will be by burning. See Revelation 18:17 where it says one hour. This section describes the leaders of the people of Israel, which are the leaders of the USA. The burning that occurs in one hour (see Revelation 18:10, 17, 19; D&C 29:9, 21) refers to the destruction of Babylon and the whore when they are finally burned up by the presence of the Lord, or by the fire and brimstone that He sends to burn them up (see Ezekiel 38:22). Whether the Lord reveals His face to the wicked and burns them up at that time or not (see Revelation 6:15-17), or spues forth fire and brimstone from the skies like in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah, I am not certain. However, He will destroy them by burning, pestilence, earthquake, hail, and such at that day.

Avraham Gileadi's interpretation of verses 18-19: "Wickedness shall be set ablaze like a fire, and briars and thorns shall it consume; it shall ignite the jungle forests, and they shall billow upward in mushrooming clouds of smoke. At the wrath of Jehovah of Hosts the earth is scorched, and people are but fuel for the fire."

I believe that the "briers and thorns" symbolize the invading and occupying armies who are foreigners. In verse 18 Isaiah also refers to them as "thickets of the forest". The "people shall be as the fuel of fire" in verse 19 also refers to these same people. It sounds like their destruction will be when they turn upon each other, and "shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm", or his own people. This is how the Midianites in great fear fought among themselves in the battle with Gideon and his 300 men. See also Isaiah 10:26.

Isaiah 10 Chapter Summary
The destruction of Assyria is a type of the destruction of the wicked at the Second Coming—Few people will be left after the Lord comes again—The remnant of Jacob will return in that day—Compare 2 Nephi 20.

169C4-169C22: "Heavenly Mother then spoke: 'Raphael, I have come to you this morning in my glory to reveal to you a mystery that has not been revealed up to this point. You have correctly written the words of Jesus and Heavenly Father since I spoke to you on Sunday, Aug. 9, 2020
. It is time now to confirm the correct interpretation of the chapters in Isaiah that you have some questions about. These include Isaiah chapters 10, 13, 19 and 28.'

She then asked me to open my scriptures to Isaiah 10:1 and she would start at the beginning. She said I generally had the correct view of these words of Isaiah, but that there were verses I did not understand. She said we would proceed over the next few journal entries together in these important scriptures.

Isaiah 10:1-2

'Raphael, this chapter of Isaiah describes the destruction of the United States by a foreign power whom we've identified as the invading armies. At the end of this chapter, Isaiah describes how God will destroy this army and their leaders after they have done the work that God wants done to cleanse the wicked from the land.'

"Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed." (This refers to the globalist leaders in your government who have passed legislation through treachery and many times in secret. The majority of the government leaders in your land have allowed these unrighteous decrees to be put into law. They have colluded with corrupt industries in your land to bring in laws that suppress the good and promote tyranny and diminish the freedom of the people. The constitutional law of the land has been replaced with unjust laws which promote Lucifer's plan to take away the agency of man, even from the beginning. This is the state of many of your federal and state laws in the United States of America).

"To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the rights of the poor of my people (these are the Bill of Rights included in your Constitution that has been supplanted by these corrupt laws), that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless!" (There are many unjust taxes, fees, and licensing laws that rob the poor or middle class of your society in particular. These are all corrupt and unjust.)' (words in parentheses in this entry are all from Heavenly Mother).

Because of the corruptness of your government, and the wickedness in your land, even though there are still many good hearted people with a sense of fairness and goodness, we will allow the foreign strong nations of China and Russia to overrun the land, destroy the government and industry, and start to destroy the wicked in the land:

Isaiah 10:3-6

"And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shall come from far? ('far' meaning from foreign countries)to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory?

Without me they shall bow down under the prisoners, and they shall fall under the slain." (Those in your land, both in government, industry and education circles, who have secretly conspired with the Chinese communist leaders in particular, will be double crossed and will not be supported once the powerful troops come. Those who colluded in the overthrow of your land will be numbered among the prisoners, the oppressed in the land, and the dead.)

"For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

O Assyrian (this is the code word for the invading armies from China and Russia), the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand is mine indignation.

I will send him against an hypocritical nation (the United States), and against the people of my wrath (those wicked leaders in your land and the wicked people in your country) will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets."

Raphael, the Chinese and their allied nations will invade from the west coast and the Russians will invade from the east coast of your land. They will coordinate their invasion and have wonderful success together. The leaders of both China and Russia, who are godless, will think they have done this by their own cunning and clever planning.

Isaiah 10:7

"Howbeit he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy and cut off nations not a few."

These kings or leaders of China and Russia are arrogant, and puppets of Lucifer. They promote his plan for world domination and full control over people, even as he proposed before the Father in the beginning. This is Satan's continued plan to do away with the agency of man, even on the earth.

The dictators of these invading armies have "stout hearts" and "high looks" (verse 12). They think their own cunning has allowed them entry into this land of riches and promise (verses 13-14).

Yet we, the true Gods of the whole earth, have allowed them to come into this, our promised land, for our own purposes, and because your land has become corrupt and wicked. The citizens of your country have rejected Jesus Christ, the rightful king and protector of this land. We have allowed these wicked leaders and armies to enter this land of promise, and will stop them once they have done the work of cleansing we desire (see Isaiah 10:15).

We will send a number of troubles upon the invading armies to destroy them and to turn them back to their own lands, even as we did anciently with the Assyrian armies. We will send leanness (a want of food, verse 16), the coming forth of the tribes of Israel from the north and the remnants of Israel from the south (verses 17, 20-21), and a plague called by Isaiah a consumption (verses 22-23).

Isaiah 10:26

"And the Lord of hosts shall stir up a scourge for him (the foreign leaders and their invading armies) according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb: and as his rod was upon the sea, so shall he lift it up after the manner of Egypt." (This refers to two historical events- one at the rock of Oreb where Gideon and his 300 soldiers blew their trumpets and the Midianites slew each other in their confusion (Judges 7:19-25), and the other when Moses lifted his staff over the Red Sea and divided the waters so Israel could pass on dry ground. The invading armies in your land will turn upon each other and kill each other in their confusion. This act will be initiated by the prophet of the northern Tribes of Israel raising his own staff above the armies who will have occupied your land for five months. [R here: This prophet is John the Revelator who came with the Ten Tribes in their journey to the New Jerusalem, and ministered among them. He has this charge to use his staff to afflict the nations.] Together, with their other troubles, this experience will dishearten the dictators of the foreign armies and cause them to retreat to their own lands. At this time, your land will be free from the oppressive armies, and free from the corrupt government and leaders in your current nation. The tribes and remnants of Israel will be upon your land, ready to help build up the wasted places of Zion (3 Nephi 22:3). This is when you will receive many to help you build up the New Jerusalem, Raphael.

To the invading armies and their leaders, these events that rout them out of the land of promise will be a terror to them:

Isaiah 10:33

"Behold, the Lord, the Lord of hosts, shall lop the bough (armies) with terror: and the high ones of stature (their leaders) shall be hewn down, and the haughty (the dictators or kings of these foreign armies) shall be humbled."

Raphael, come here again tonight and I will go through Isaiah 13 like I did this morning for Isaiah 10. If you have questions during the day, feel free to discuss these with me here at this overlook.'

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her mighty words and interpretation of Isaiah 10! I thanked her for being so close to me and for revealing such wondrous things.

I then exited her presence in my conscious mind. I knew I remained by her side in my unconscious state, however, and would be in constant prayer all day today. I then started my new day."

"Where will ye leave your glory?" refers to the international bankers, globalist very rich life-style. Their visitation is war, destruction from Russia, the beast, who is from far. In verse 4 the prisoners and slain are the result of the beast's attack on the USA, because they are so angry with the globalists for their money policies and grab for world power and control. Assyria is another name for Russia, or the beast in Rev 13. The Lord uses this kingdom to punish the whore and Babylon, both in the USA. After the attack on North America, the beast will likely have world domination, and there will be no more USA and maybe not other countries either, and will take possession of all treasures in the land. The attacking armies (beast and his allies) will proudly think they did this by their own strength and cunning. The Lord knows the thoughts of the king of the invading army whose aim is world domination and destruction. The beast who comes against America (hypocritical nation) after it is burned (nuclear bombing) will spoil the land and tread down the people and the cities of the USA. Once the beast destroys the whore and Babylon in America, then the Lord will punish and destroy the beast.

Isaiah 10:16-17
16 Therefore shall the Lord, the Lord of hosts, send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory he shall kindle a burning like the burning of a fire.

17 And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day;

199E11-199E18, from Heavenly Father: "I read today some scriptures that indicate when Jesus comes in his glory, the wicked will be burned. The most clear ones are these:

Isaiah 10:16-17 which speaks of the destruction of Assyria, or the wicked at the last day:

"Therefore shall the Lord, the Lord of hosts, send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory he shall kindle a burning like the burning of a fire.

And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his holy One for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day."

D&C 64:24

"For after today cometh the burning -this is speaking after the manner of the Lord -for verily I say, tomorrow all the proud and they that do wickedly shall be as stubble; and I will burn them up, for I am the Lord; and I will not spare any that remain in Babylon."

D&C 88: 94

"And another angel shall sound his trump, saying: That great church, the mother of abominations, that made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornications that persecuted the saints of God, that shed their blood -she who sitteth upon many waters, and upon the islands of the sea -behold, she is the tares of the earth; she is bound in bundles; her hands are made strong, no man can loose them; therefore, she is ready to be burned. And he shall sound his trump both long and loud, and all nations shall hear it."

I came upon the barren land of promise east of the New Jerusalem island. It was rocky with dirt, and no vegetation. It looked barren in all directions around me. I knelt and asked for my Heavenly Father to come.

He walked to me on the barren land from the west. When he came to me, he was serious looking, and immediately spoke: 'Raphael, what your Heavenly Mother spoke to you last night about the burning at the time of the coming of Jesus Christ is true. The scriptures you quoted are a few that described this burning. There are many more.

The burning will come upon all who dwell in the telestial mortal physical earth. It will be very intense, even to destroy all remnants of that realm so that all is consumed. This burning will only affect that realm, and not the terrestrial physical earth. Jesus will destroy the wicked in this terrible day of the Lord (see Joel 2: 11). However, it will be a wonderful day for our righteous elect who will have been gathered upon the terrestrial physical earth. Jesus will descend with these, our righteous sons and daughters, to the earth in great glory and power. What will remain on the mortal earth will only be the elect on the terrestrial earth. You will bind Satan and his host after this destruction, and cast them into the bottomless pit in the spiritual telestial earth. This will be a place reserved for him so he will not be able to go forth among our children for a thousand years.

The barren land upon which you are kneeling tonight will become a flourishing community on the terrestrial earth. Our people will live in harmony and peace all over the terrestrial earth. The declaration you made upon the earth during the light of a thousand suns event will be fully realized (see your post 194H18-"While the stars remain, and the heavens send down dew upon the earth, so long shall the Union last."). The stars in your sky will still shine, and dew on the mortal terrestrial earth will still come down in the millennial day. Freedom and liberty will be given to all of our children in that day, even in a full measure in the Union established and protected by our Beloved Son.'"

Famine and hunger will begin among the beast as the Lord's use for them wanes. He refers to them as thorns and briers.

The light of Israel as a fire I believe refers to the destruction of Assyria by the tribes of Israel, even from the other side of the terrestrial veil. They did this once before in a smaller measure in their trek to the New Jerusalem, but this time will be in their full destruction and routing out, except for the elect among them. These 144,000 will act under the mission and charge of John the Beloved who has the commission as the rod of Jesse.

21 The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God.

22 For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness.

Wed, Nov 15, 2023
After the destruction of the USA, the remnant of Israel from the terrestrial mortal realm that remain will rely on the Lord. The remnant of Israel also refers to lost ten tribes which arrived at the New Jerusalem.

167I2-167I15: "I received an email from S.A. last night. She had these questions:

"I have been wondering about when the lost tribes come from the north, how will the invading troops be fleeing from before them? And what will their journey be like once they get off the ships?

Also, I have been wondering about the people coming from the south in great power too. Is there any more information about them and their journey?

Lastly, in a recent post it said the troops will be here for five months. (see my post 165I4 to 165I10). What will happen after five months? I had been thinking it would be much longer than that in my head, so this caught my attention when I read it."

This morning I came in prayer to the western mezzanine outside of God's temple. There was a beautifully paved area of stones and garden areas with benches. I came to the furthest west garden area where I have come multiple times before. I sat on a bench made of stone there and looked into my healing stone. Once I came into my stone, I looked around and I was still on the bench, yet I knew I had entered into my stone somehow. There was a different feeling, a more surreal ambience around me.

I then saw my Heavenly Mother walking to me from the temple, a little elevated in the air. She gave me the thought to remain on the bench. As she came to me, she smiled and sat next to me on the bench. She took my hand and squeezed it and smiled again.

5. Then she spoke: 'Raphael, I am glad you have come here to the western mezzanine of our temple on this celestial orb. I will remain with you here the entire day. Heavenly Father will come later in the day and sit on the other side of you. We will both be available to you throughout your mortal day. You only need to think of being here and talking with us, and we will immediately be before you in your mind, and speak to you and support you.

I will address S's questions now.

Answer 1- The lost tribes will arrive next year in 2021, in the lands of the north. Their journey will not be easy, but it will be full of faith with lots of little miracles to preserve and sustain these, our elect sons and daughters.

Their journey will be tracked by enemy nations, even those who will have invaded your own land. They will see this large group as invaders and seek to destroy them with bombs and modern day weaponry. However, we will protect this migrating group by our power. The missiles, airplanes and naval vessels who seek to destroy them shall themselves be destroyed, each time they fire upon this helpless group. The very weapons intended for their destruction will turn on them and destroy them. They will flee from their own weapons they intended to have destroy the people of God. Then shall the scripture be fulfilled: "Their enemies shall become a prey unto them." (D&C 133:28).

Answer 3- This humble people will then continue as a group to walk by foot southward. They will cross through the land of Canada and even to what is now the United States, heading towards the Jackson county, Missouri area. The ground troops in your land that will be occupying and afflicting the people will turn to also destroy this coming large group. The same fate awaits them, for the destructive power they use to seek to kill and stop the tribes of Israel will be turned against them, to their very destruction.

Then shall be fulfilled that which was seen by the prophet Isaiah in Isaiah 10. The destruction of the Assyrian army in the land of promise shall be according to these verses:

Isaiah 10:23, 25-27, 33

"For the Lord God of hosts shall make a consumption, even determined, in the midst of all the land (in the land of America).

For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease (upon your land of America against the wicked in your land), and mine anger in their destruction (in the destruction of the occupying armies).

And the Lord of hosts shall stir up a scourge for him (for the occupying armies in America) according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb: and as his rod was upon the sea, so shall he lift it up after the manner of Egypt (this manner will be revealed later).

And it shall come to pass in that day (in the day of the arrival to America of the tribes of Israel), that his burden (the occupying armies that will be there for five months) shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing (by the power of God, even of Jesus Christ my Beloved Son, shall vengeance be taken upon the occupying armies in your land. This will happen as the tribes of Israel continue their journey south to the Missouri area where the New Jerusalem will be built.)

Behold, the Lord, the Lord of hosts, shall lop the bough with terror: and the high ones of stature (the leaders of the occupying armies) shall be hewn down, and the haughty shall be humbled." (comments in parentheses by Heavenly Mother)

Then shall be fulfilled this prophecy of Isaiah concerning the lost tribes of Israel:

Isaiah 10:20-22

"And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smote them (ancient Assyria who captured them); but shall stay upon the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.

The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God.

For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return (they shall return to God and to the promised land in your land of America): the consumption decreed (or the destruction intended upon them by the armies will turn against the occupying armies) shall overflow with righteousness this large body of the tribes of Israel shall come to the New Jerusalem and help build the city of their God)." (words in parentheses from Heavenly Mother)

Answer 2- Finally, I will answer S's second question about the people coming from the southern regions of the area of Mexico, central and South America. The leaders of this people are currently being funded and infiltrated by the Chinese and Russian communist nations to attack your land of America from the south. They are being armed and are making their plans for invasion. These also will be disarmed and the wicked among them destroyed at the same general time as the occupying troops in the now United States.

Those of this southern group who repent, and who humble themselves will join the tribes of Israel in the New Jerusalem area to build that holy city.

In that day will be fulfilled 3 Nephi 21:12-21. This people, who are also a remnant of Jacob, will be in the midst of the occupying armies of your land, and the wicked of your land, as a lion among the beasts of the forest, "as a young lion among the flocks of sheep, who, if he go through both treadeth down and teareth in pieces, and none can deliver." (3 Nephi 21:12)

Thus shall the wicked be destroyed in your land by the invading armies, and then those armies destroyed by our people Israel, coming from the north (tribes of Israel) and the south (the remnant of Israel). In the end, the wicked are destroyed and the elect of God preserved, many which will build the New Jerusalem city and temple.'

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her clear explanation of these scriptures, and of answering S's questions. I said I was so pleased to remain by her this entire day, in my constant prayer experience with her."

Isaiah 10:22
22 For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness.

23 For the Lord God of hosts shall make a consumption, even determined, in the midst of all the land.

Wed, Nov 15, 2023
This refers to the return of the ten tribes of Israel to Zion in the mountains of Israel, the New Jerusalem. A remnant of them will return, apparently to the telestial world to gather the elect to the terestrial New Jerusalem from the earth before its destruction.

Sun, Mar 13, 2022
The overflowing scourge and consumption of the beast are part of delivery of the Saints.

Isaiah 10:24-25
24 Therefore thus saith the Lord God of hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian: he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt.

25 For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease, and mine anger in their destruction.

Sat, Mar 2, 2024
The righteous need not fear! The manner of Egypt in this verse refers to the way that the Egyptians anciently held Israel in bondage under their rule and oppression. This is the burden that is referred to in verse 27 when Isaiah states "that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder". The burden is the presence of the standing armies, and their oppression and rule over the people of God.

169A14-169A31: "Heavenly Father spoke again: 'Raphael, be not afraid to write the words we give you in your journal. Our words are always sure and true. What your Heavenly Mother spoke to you the past two days and what Jesus Christ just told you are true, as are our revelations. These will increase and will contain all the details you will need to move our great work forward, even in your troubled times on earth.

We know the end from the beginning, and will give you our specific directions so that you will know how to fulfill your mission. We will also confirm to those in your small group the truthfulness of what you write. We are pleased with how things are progressing, and are fully in charge of the future. Evil will continue to flourish for a season, and we will allow those who promote their evil plans to have their power for a season. However, our gentle and righteous ways will soon overtake the wicked when they have fulfilled their purposes. Isaiah spoke of this when he saw that we would remove the invading armies in our own due time:

Isaiah 10:15-17

"Shall the axe (the invading armies) boast itself against him that heweth therewith? Or shall the saw magnify itself against him that shaketh it? As if the rod should shake itself against them that lift it up, or as if the staff should lift up itself, as if it were no wood.

Therefore shall the Lord, the Lord of hosts, send among his fat ones (the armies in the land) leanness; and under his glory he shall kindle a burning like the burning of fire.

And the light of Israel (the tribes coming from the north and the remnants from the south) shall be for a fire, and his Holy One (Jesus Christ) for a flame; and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briars in one day." (words in parentheses from Heavenly Father).'

Heavenly Mother then spoke: 'Raphael, come and remain with us throughout your entire day in mortality, here under our tree of life. We will be here to commune with you as you may wish. Each time you do, quiet down in your mortal mind so that you may hear, and we will speak our peace and assurance to you.'

I thanked both my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother for their beautiful words and their comforting presence! I said how much I loved being with them. I committed to always keep their commandments.

I then exited their presence in my mortal mind and started my new week on earth.

Evening- Gosh, this month is already ⅓ passed, and I can hardly remember it starting. It is still very warm in the day, but starting to cool off at night. This is such a beautiful time of year.

I came to the tree of life and saw myself talking with Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother under the canopy of that tree. I was then suddenly in my replicated being and talking with my Heavenly Parents!

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."

Isaiah 10:24-27
24 Therefore thus saith the Lord God of hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian: he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt.

25 For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease, and mine anger in their destruction.

26 And the Lord of hosts shall stir up a scourge for him according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb: and as his rod was upon the sea, so shall he lift it up after the manner of Egypt.

27 And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.

183J3-183J8: "'Raphael, last night your Heavenly Mother shared with you that we protect our people when they are obedient, and when they do as we command them. This has always been the case, in many situations during the history of the earth, and in all of our other eternities. We expect our people to continue to petition us, even when it appears to them that they will be overcome by their enemies. We are able to adjust situations to free and liberate the righteous, and sometimes we intervene boldly like will happen when the event of the light of a thousand suns occurs. The days just before your appearance in the heavens with our celestial legions will seem desperate. It will appear that the heavens are closed to many, and that we have delayed answering the prayers of the righteous. This delay of five months is necessary for the removal of the wicked.

In that day shall be fulfilled this prophecy of Isaiah (see also your post 169A29 to 169A31):

Isaiah 10:24-27

Therefore thus saith the Lord God of hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian: he shall smite thee with a rod (meaning the oppression will become intense and your freedom in the land be largely removed), and shall lift up his staff (control and dominion) against thee, after the manner of Egypt (this refers to the oppressors of the children of Israel when they were slaves to the Egyptians in the days of Moses–see Exodus chapter 5).

For yet a little while, and the indignation shall cease, and mine anger in their destruction.

And the Lord of hosts shall stir up a scourge for him according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb: and as his rod was upon the sea, so shall he lift it up after the manner of Egypt, (see your post 169C16 to 169C19. These events will take place after the five months are fulfilled and you and our heavenly hosts will have appeared in the heavens above the promised land. At this time the enemies will have great fear of the power of God. A plague will come among them and they will fight among themselves in their fear and confusion. They will be disheartened and leave the land in haste).

And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing (the power of Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son, through whom we will fight the battles of our elect)." (words in parentheses from Heavenly Father).'"

143D19-143D28: "Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, you listened to your wife this evening as she shared the accounts of how families were divided up in World War II, and many civilians died in the conflict. People were very afraid in your country, and rallied behind a common cause to stop the German invasion.

In the time of the next war, where your own country will be invaded, the people will not be united, but every man and woman will seek their own protection, and not that of the whole, for the nation will be destroyed. There will be pockets of like-minded people, but your nation's defenses will have been destroyed, and people will be defenseless against the invading foreign powers.

There will be some who seek to resist this occupying force, but that will not be wise. I will have brought the invading king and his army to destroy Babylon (see Isaiah chapter 13).

Isaiah 13:5-9,11

"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.

...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."

Once I have used the destroying Assyrian king to destroy the land of its government and wickedness, I will then punish the king of the invading army and his burden upon the righteous in the land. Much of this is described in Isaiah Chapter 10. (Note: sections of this chapter were also quoted to me from Heavenly Mother in paragraph B6 above. I take this as a second witness of its truth and importance to know that the time is near at hand.)

Isaiah 10:24-27,33:

Therefore, thus saith the Lord God of hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian; he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt.

For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease, and mine anger in their destruction.

And the Lord of hosts shall stir up a scourge for him according to the slaughter at Midian at the rock of Oreb: and his rod was upon the sea, so shall he lift it up after the manner of Egypt.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.

...Behold, the Lord, the Lord of hosts, shall lop the bough with terror and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, and the haughty shall be humbled."

The king of Assyria with his armies and allied nations will be destroyed by the house of Israel that will come from the north (the Ten Tribes of Israel) and from the south (the remnants of the Nephite and Lamanite nations). These will easily overpower the occupying army, for I will give the remnants of Israel my very power in their destruction.

Isaiah 10:17, 20-23

"And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers (the invading army) in one day.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smite them; but they shall stay upon the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.

The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, the mighty God.

For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness.

For the Lord God of hosts shall make a consumption, even determined, in the midst of all the land." (parenthesis added by Heavenly Father).

The house of Israel coming from the north and south will fulfill the prophecies of treading down the Gentiles, in 3 Nephi 16:15 and 3 Nephi 20:13-20. This destruction is called a consumption by Isaiah in the verses above.

When all the destruction is completed, Babylon will have been destroyed and then the invading army will have become largely destroyed and powerless against my arm of power. Those who remain in the land will be righteous Israel who will have been gathered home to their lands of promise, and to build up Zion.'"

Isaiah 10:26-27
26 And the Lord of hosts shall stir up a scourge for him according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb: and as his rod was upon the sea, so shall he lift it up after the manner of Egypt.

27 And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.

Thu, Mar 7, 2024
The scourge will be like the slaughter of Midian executed by Gideon and his 300 men, with the power of God. The rod upon the sea after the manner of Egypt was when Moses lifted his staff over the sea and raised his hand to divide the sea (see Ex 16). This is different that the "manner of Egypt" in verse 24 above (see that note for an explanation).

This is the method of destruction of the wicked in America, just prior to the second coming of Jesus Christ: John the Beloved will raise his rod after the daughter of Zion shall go out of the cities (in central and south America, on their way to the United States) to the fields among Babylon (the United States). In a future day, once these immigrants are in place in the United Staes, they will be activated by John the Beloved and Jesus Christ, and thrash both the invading armies and Babylon. John has the charge to be the rod of Jesse. As such, he is charged to thrash the nations and with the help of his father, Jesus Christ, will be able to activate these immigrants in the land, as well as the 144,000 and other heavenly hosts in his charge. These will cleanse the land of many of the wicked. Those who remain will be finally burned and cleansed by Jesus Christ when he comes again in the heavens before all people.

The yoke and burden: the burden taken away refers to the standing armies who will be removed in the land. The yoke lifted from the neck refers to the destruction of the whore (Babylon). This is actually more of spiritually strangling (hence a yoke around the neck) upon the people that the burden of an occupying army. Both Babylon and Assyria will be destroyed under the power and authority of John the Beloved, and those under his charge, and by the power of Jesus Christ, his father.

See also my notes on Isaiah 11:1. Part of this is given below:

59H22-59H26: ". . . John the Beloved also has a scarlet-red angled sash.'

At that moment, Jesus Christ came and stood on the right side of our Father. He was wearing a scarlet red robe as I had seen before. Next to the right side of Jesus came John the Beloved, his son.

John then came to my left, and faced the three Deities before us. He stood next to me. John also wore a scarlet-red angled sash.

Jesus then spoke:

'Raphael and John, you both are now given our authority to destroy the wicked and to vanquish Satan as you feel impressed to do from us, your God.

John, you are also given this rod to execute our vengeance upon the nations of the wicked.'

He then gave to John a silver rod that was about 8 feet tall. It was about 1 1/2-inches in diameter, and rounded at the top. The bottom was flat, so it could be placed flat on the ground. John received this silver rod in his right hand.

'John', continued Jesus, 'use this rod of our power to act in your mission as the rod of Jesse, as spoken of in Isaiah chapter 11. You may stretch forth this rod over the wicked nations to afflict them with the power of God. Hold the rod in both of your hands as you extend it over the nations to be afflicted by God."

Isaiah 10:33-34
33 Behold, the Lord, the Lord of hosts, shall lop the bough with terror: and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, and the haughty shall be humbled.

34 And he shall cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one.

Sat, Mar 2, 2024
This is the method of the destruction of beast: destroyed with the rod of iron that John the Beloved possesses (see Rev 19). This rod of iron (actually a silver rod) that the Lord's servant John will use to destroy the wicked. He is in charge of the 144,000 who reside in the terrestrial mortal world and minister to those in the telestial mortal world. See my notes in Isaiah 9:18.

169B6-169B11: "Heavenly Father then spoke to me: 'Raphael, you are correct that the words of John in Revelation 9:1-12 were to be fulfilled in two phases, and have been being fulfilled over several years up to this point. What you wrote from what I spoke to you in your post 38E is true, and what you wrote last night from me is also accurate. Your Heavenly Mother and I see the fulfillment of John's revelation very clearly, and share with you what we see happening at the time and in the near future.

The elite in your country, mostly in your government, industry and in universities, have been in secret collusion with the Chinese and Russian governments to overthrow the freedoms in your land and nation. We are using their plans for our own purposes to destroy the wicked in America and later in the entire world, and to preserve the righteous. Some of our prophets have seen these events in vision, and have written about them in your scriptures which speak of these events coming your way. We allow the wicked to flourish and fulfill their evil desires to fit into our own overall plans. We use them in our own way to bring on a better world and a glorious millennial state of peace and rest. We are fully aware of all, and are in full control.

Raphael, there are multiple uprisings of what is called Black Lives Matter and Antifa which are both well funded by communist China. They are smuggling weapons and ammunition to their pro-Marxist groups to cause havoc and unrest throughout your nation. There are also many Chinese and Russian soldiers already in place in your country who are armed and ready for action at the first wave of invading troops. The tensions between President Trump and these foreign nations are increasing, and will end in war.

Raphael, fear not, for we are in charge and will not allow these armies to destroy our righteous elect. After the armies have fulfilled the work of destruction upon the wicked, then will we end their occupation, in their destruction:

Isaiah 10:33

"Behold, the Lord, the Lord of hosts, shall lop the bough with terror: and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, and the haughty shall be humbled."'

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his words of assurance and clarity on what is happening in my troubled land. He said for me to come to him by his wheat field on this road throughout my day, and he would be here. I thanked him for his great care over me, and over the elect in the world."

Isaiah 11:1-2
1 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:

2 And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord;

Fri, Jul 26, 2024
The rod of Jesse is John the Beloved, the stem is Christ, the Branch is Raphael, the archangel (see footnote on "the Branch" in Jeremiah 23:5).

54B5-54B8: Q–In Isaiah 11:1 (2 Nephi 21:1), if John the Beloved is the rod, Christ is the stem of Jesse, who is the branch? Also, in verse 2, is the 'spirit of the Lord' correctly interpreted as the 'angel of the Lord'? Who is this angel, or this spirit? Is this the counsel of the angels?

A– From Heavenly Mother:

'Raphael, this scripture has been hidden until this day from your eyes, and from the eyes of men.

The branch is not referring to the rod in verse 1, but is another individual. This person is you, Raphael! You are growing out of the root of the stem of Jesse, or you have grown up in the knowledge and fear of the Lord. You have always sought to be close to our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, who is the stem of Jesse. Your work is now beginning and is hidden from the world, just like the interpretation of verse 1: the rod is John the Beloved, the stem of Jesse is Jesus Christ, and the branch who comes forth out of his roots is Raphael, the archangel of healing and love.

In verse 2, J.W. is correct in stating the 'spirit of the Lord' should be replaced with the 'angel of the Lord'. This angel is you, Raphael, who is supported by a counsel of angels who have attributes of Wisdom (L), Understanding (M.A.), Counsel (J.W.), Might (K), and Knowledge (J.D.). The counsel of angels needs to act in the fear of God, which means in the way you described in your last post of how all should act in the counsel of angels. In verse 2, the angel of the Lord (Raphael) shall rest upon the rod (John the Beloved). Verses 3-5 refer to John the Beloved.

54C6, from Jesus Christ: "Raphael, you are the branch spoken of in Isaiah 11:1. You have grown out of my roots, which also supplied nourishment to me, who am the stem of Jesse. These roots symbolize the nourishment from our Heavenly Parents, that come line upon line, here a little and there a little. I followed this same path of progression, and received not a fulness at the first (see D&C 93:13). Likewise, you are growing in this same way, and you will also receive of my fulness, and be glorified in me as I am in the Father and Mother (see D&C 93:20)."

54D7-54D10: "Heavenly Father responded to me: 'Raphael, we will protect the identity of our mortal angels as long as they individually don't reveal to others who they are, and are careful. We will direct them to reveal themselves to whom we wish, but they shouldn't do so on their own volition. Our intent is that you all continue to work behind the scenes in the great work in which you are involved.'

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

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

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

See also D&C 113:1-6 scriptures and notes.

59H15-59H29: "I prayed tonight by the fountain of living waters near the temple doors in heaven. I prepared myself by drinking three times from the living waters of that fountain. By the third drink from my cupped hand, my mind had seemingly expanded far beyond my body, and was filled with light.

I then called upon my Heavenly Parents, with my hands extended to heaven. I was confident they would come.

Immediately a super bright light, more brilliant than I had seen before, came from the temple doors! It came slowly to a position close to me. It was so very bright!

In this light were my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother! I couldn't look upon them without shielding my spiritual eyes–they were so very bright! I asked that I be able to see them and their faces.

The light toned down a bit, but was still very bright. I saw my Heavenly Father–very sober and so majestic in his visage! He wore a scarlet-red angled sash, about 4-inches wide from his left shoulder to his right hip, around his front and back. I had never seen this piece of clothing on God ever before! Heavenly Mother wore a similar scarlet-red angled sash also. Her visage was firm, angered even it seemed, and she had no smiles. They were not angry at me I knew, but angry at the unrepentant and the wicked on earth.

I suddenly realized that I too wore a scarlet-red angled sash, similar to theirs, from my left shoulder to my right hip.

I then prostrated myself before them, with my hands before me on the ground.

Heavenly Father spoke:

'Raphael, arise before us!'

I stood and faced them.

'Raphael, we are angered because of the wicked on the earth. They do not repent, but continue in their wickedness and selfish desires. The love of man has waxed cold. We will soon come upon the world in our hot displeasure because of their wickedness and refusal to repent. This is the meaning of the scarlet-red angled sash that we are both wearing. We will execute our vengeance with our power, as you have seen displayed before you when we came to you in the brightness of our glory.'

I asked my Father:

'Oh Father, may I know why I too have this scarlet-red angled sash across my front and back, and if there is anyone else who has this same scarlet-red angled sash?'

Heavenly Father spoke again:

'Raphael, the presence of this sash on you is a symbol that you have our authority and power to come against Satan's hosts and the wicked.

John the Beloved also has a scarlet-red angled sash.'

At that moment, Jesus Christ came and stood on the right side of our Father. He was wearing a scarlet red robe as I had seen before. Next to the right side of Jesus came John the Beloved, his son.

John then came to my left, and faced the three Deities before us. He stood next to me. John also wore a scarlet-red angled sash.

Jesus then spoke:

'Raphael and John, you both are now given our authority to destroy the wicked and to vanquish Satan as you feel impressed to do from us, your God.

John, you are also given this rod to execute our vengeance upon the nations of the wicked.'

He then gave to John a silver rod that was about 8 feet tall. It was about 1 1/2-inches in diameter, and rounded at the top. The bottom was flat, so it could be placed flat on the ground. John received this silver rod in his right hand.

'John', continued Jesus, 'use this rod of our power to act in your mission as the rod of Jesse, as spoken of in Isaiah chapter 11. You may stretch forth this rod over the wicked nations to afflict them with the power of God. Hold the rod in both of your hands as you extend it over the nations to be afflicted by God.

Raphael, you have your sword of Raphael sheathed on your left side under your waist sash. Use it to remove any of the hosts of Lucifer who step out of their bounds that have been set by God, which bounds they pass in afflicting our elect or when getting in the way of the healing work of the angels of God. We will no longer tolerate their over-stepping intrusions into the lives of our elect or our angels.

Raphael, when you feel impressed, with direction from us, that any of the hosts of Lucifer have moved beyond their bounds on our people that you see or that is reported to you, then take hold of the offending fallen spirit(s) and remove them to the distant orb, out of your own solar system. You have done this before when you removed to that distant orb two evil spirits in the past, in your conscious memory, one who was a very aggressive and powerful false spirit. This orb acts as a prison for these overly aggressive evil spirits.

When you remove them by our power, secure them in your left hand and raise your sword of Raphael in your right hand, high above your head. Then teleport with the evil spirit(s) to that distant orb prison and deposit them onto that prison orb. These will be constrained to be there until you place Lucifer and his hosts under the thousand-year seal in the bottomless pit, after my return to the earth in glory. At that time, route these whom you have placed on that prison orb to the bottomless pit with Lucifer their master.'"

54L2-54L9: "While I was waiting upon them in prayer, Heavenly Mother spoke to me:

'Raphael, our son, you have some questions still about the roles of John the Beloved, the firstborn of our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ. He fulfills two roles, that of a rod of Jesse and that of the root of Jesse.

The rod mission is explained in Isaiah 11:4–

"But with righteousness shall he 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."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

54M3, 54M6-54M7: "Heavenly Father spoke more about the branch that he again said I was. He said this was planned from the beginning, that I would have this role. The branch was a name chosen because it grows out of the stem of a plant, and gradually receives nourishment and growth–just like I am gradually tutored and grow in knowledge. There are a number of Old Testament and some New Testament scriptures too that refer to the branch. A few refer to Jesus Christ, but many refer to me, Raphael, and my foreordained mission in building the temple and in my millennial mission.

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

'Yes, Raphael, you are the one who will perform this great work spoken of in the scriptures as done by the branch!'

We touched hands as I started down the narrow path."

170J9-170D12, from Heavenly Mother: "Isaiah 11:1-2

"And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse (Christ), and a Branch shall grow out of his roots.

And the spirit of the Lord (should be "the angel of the Lord", see your post 54B1 to 54B9) shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord; " (see also your post 54HK10 and 54K11).

Raphael, you will then fulfill the words of Zachariah:

Zachariah 6:12

"...Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is the BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the Lord." (see your post 54M14).

Raphael, we have chosen you and are grooming you to fulfill this future mission. We gradually have revealed to you great things, and are tutoring you to prepare for this spiritually demanding task ahead. All of your work now that you are receiving and doing is preparing you for this work. Once the temple is built to a sufficient level, you then will start performing the waters of separation ordinance for our faithful elect, thus bringing them into our Church of the Firstborn. Oriphiel will then record this ordinance in the Lamb's Book of Life, and which is the promise of eternal life and exaltation.'

Do not lose heart in the daily struggle of mortal life, Raphael. We are with you and continually now stand by you. There is nothing to fear or doubt. All will be fulfilled in time, even as I have said!'"

59D2-59D10: "Soon I saw or perceived a growing bright light in front of me. In a moment Heavenly Father appeared before me, in great glory. He began to speak to me:

'Raphael, there are many secret combinations in your land of America and in the world. They include what you heard about in the video you watched last night, or the deep state and also the powerful international bankers. These keep in secret and dark corners so as not to be seen of the people at large. They currently control the actions of many countries, including your own. We are fully aware of all of these evil groups, and of their intentions. They are controlled by Lucifer, our fallen and rebellious son who seeks to overthrow the kingdom of our Beloved Son that we have authorized to be the Savior of mankind. Through these secret combinations, Satan seeks to subvert our plans for a glorious millennial world of peace and harmony.

However, we will stop his evil efforts, for he does not know the mind of God, nor our plans and our strange work and strange act that we will do. We will reveal our actions first to you and to our humble followers of our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ. You will come to know these events and actions, usually just before they happen in the world. Fear not, and trust in us, and our great power, for we will destroy all of these evils works, and bring forth our Zion at the right time.

Zion is like a woman in labor who will finally be redeemed in your day, even when Babylon the Great will have great power over all the world, among all nations:

Micah 4:10-13–

"Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail: for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and thou shalt dwell in the field, and thou shalt go even to Babylon; there shalt thou be delivered; there the Lord shall redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies.

Now also many nations are gathered against thee, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye look upon Zion.

But they know not the thoughts of the Lord, neither understand they his counsel: for he shall gather them as the sheaves into the floor.

Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion: for I will make thine horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass: and thou shalt beat in pieces many people: and I will consecrate their gain unto the Lord, and their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth."

Again, D&C 35:10-14–

"And the time speedily cometh that great things are to be shown forth unto the children of men;

But without faith shall not anything be shown forth except desolations upon Babylon, the same which has made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.

And there are none that doeth good except those who are ready to receive the fulness of my gospel, which I have sent forth unto this generation.

Wherefore, I call upon the weak things of the world, those who are unlearned and despised, to thresh the nations by the power of my Spirit;

And their arm shall be my arm, and I will be their shield and their buckler; and I will gird up their loins, and they shall fight manfully for me; and their enemies shall be under their feet; and I will let fall the sword in their behalf, and by the fire of mine indignation will I preserve them." (see also your post 44D1 - 44D6).

Raphael, although you cannot at this time fully understand these scriptures and their prophecies, you and our mortal angels, and our celestial angels and celestial servants, will thresh the nations by the power of God to their destruction, all according to our command. We will not suffer Satan to have success in his evil plans for world domination and in the destruction of the righteous! We will stop his work short, and show forth our great power in making the full end of all nations, and in the full destruction of Babylon, even Babylon the Great which shall fall forever. Even Satan will be bound and removed for one thousand years.

Trust in your Heavenly Mother, Jesus Christ, and me in our great power in destroying the works of darkness on the earth. We will surely bring forth again on the earth, in great glory, our Zion, the pure in heart! Be steady and obedient to all we command and inspire you, my son.'

I then felt the great power of God by the intensity of Heavenly Father's light and strength that shone upon me! I felt assurance in his matchless power to destroy the evil works of Satan and those current regimes that reign with blood and horror on the earth. I said I would keep myself in tune to him and Heavenly Mother, and always do as they direct me."

The "spirit of the Lord" should have been translated as the "angel of the Lord". This is the male archangel Raphael who is supported by a counsel of other angels, each with a different attribute: wisdom, understanding, counsel, might and knowledge. See also notes in verse 1, where it would be clearest to have read "And the Branch, the angel Raphael of the Lord, shall rest upon the rod, John the Beloved".

54D3-54D5: Isaiah 11:4 "But with righteousness shall he 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."

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

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

______________________________

Isaiah 11:3-5
3 And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:

4 But with righteousness shall he 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.

5 And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.

Both the roles of John the Beloved are here: First, the root of Jesse will be to judge the poor and reprove with equity the meek. Second, the rod of Jesse shall smite the earth to slay the wicked. Christ shall destroy the wicked with the breath (fire) of his lips, all through the rod that has been given to John the Beloved. This is a mission that has been conferred upon John. See also my notes in verse 1 above.

Isaiah 11:6
6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.

191D1-191D25: "I came today to the circling waters on the celestial orb. I drank celestial living water and felt that my mind was clear and perceptive. I then knelt in front of the bench there, and asked for my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother to come to me, and for Rachael (K), my sister to also come.

I then saw my Heavenly Parents and my sister walking to me from the nearby river to my south. Rachael was holding Heavenly Mother's hand. They all three came over the waters and stood in the air.

Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, we have brought your sister Rachael with us today, and will reveal to both of you the manner in which plants and animals from your current telestial earth will be elevated and transferred into the terrestrial earth. Rachael will be the one to orchestrate all of this, and act as our agent. She will have as many of our celestial servants as she may need. This will all occur prior to the return of our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, to the earth.'

Heavenly Mother then let go of my sister Rachael, and asked me to stand in front of the bench on the grass. Rachael came by my side and we both faced our Heavenly Parents.

Heavenly Mother then spoke to both of us: 'The ancestors of the plants and animals that currently populate your telestial mortal realm were brought to the earth in the days of creation. We commanded our Beloved Son to have our celestial servants, all who were our spirit offspring at the time, to plant seeds and transplants from our celestial orb into the earth. They also brought celestial animals to the earth to propagate their kind on the land and in the waters and in the air. These actions were first done spiritually and then physically upon the earth. It was finally all done in a terrestrial state (see your post 77H3).

Now the offspring of these plants and animals cover all of the earth. They all exist and live in the telestial realm of the physical earth. They need to be transitioned back into the terrestrial realm before the return of Jesus Christ to the earth. When he comes, the telestial physical realm will be permanently removed from the earth. There will still remain a telestial spiritual realm where the dead are residing. There is also a telestial realm where the bottomless pit is located and where Lucifer and his spirit hosts will dwell during the millennium.

We are here today to share with both of you how we wish the telestial plants and animals on the physical earth to be moved into the terrestrial physical realm.

Raphael, in your post 77H2 to 77H7, Heavenly Father spoke to you that the plant and animal creations always hear us and want to do our will. They obey our commands. We had asked them, through our servants at the time, to descend from a terrestrial physical state to a telestial physical state, when Adam and Eve fell and were cast out of the garden of Eden. The entire plant and animal kingdom transitioned at this time into a lower telestial physical state. This has remained this way even until today.

In order for these plants and animals to change into the terrestrial physical world coming to the earth, we need to command them, by our authority of being their Gods and creations, to do so. We then will empower them to make this change in their physical body or structure. We may also extend our power to any of our servants we desire, and have them act in our name. This is what we will do, all at our own timing.

Rachael, we have placed you to be in charge of this great activity of transitioning our telestial plants and animals into a terrestrial state, by our power and authority. We will direct you how to do this, and how to delegate this authority and commission to others of our celestial servants. With their assistance, you will all be the ones to make this happen.'

Heavenly Father then spoke to us: 'Raphael, we are having you here with your sister Rachael in order to document our plans and our mission that we are giving to your sister. She is the female archangel of the elements and of nature, and to her falls this responsibility.'

Rachael, we will give you further personal revelations on the particular way that you will orchestrate these changes over the entire earth. You will start with the island of the New Jerusalem, even from the beginning when your brother Raphael creates this island from the midst of the mighty river. At the time of the creating of the island, you will begin by transferring many plants and some animals there from the telestial world. This will be in addition to the planting of celestial seeds and transplants from the celestial orb by our other celestial servants. These that you bring from the telestial world will be the first ones that you transition to the terrestrial world. These will be brought from all over the earth, even as your Heavenly Mother and I may direct you. You will do this initial work in your replicated celestial being, even as Raphael will be in his replicated celestial being. You will replicate yourself as much as is needed, and will have access to hundreds of resurrected celestial servants who will act under your direction.

Your work in the New Jerusalem area will constitute your training for doing this same thing later in the rest of the earth, even according to our instructions. We first require that living terrestrial water be abundantly available to the plants and animals that you and your helpers will transition. When the plants and animals absorb and drink of this living water, their bodies will enliven and make the final changes into becoming full terrestrial living beings. Their natures in many instances will change, and many of the animals' eating habits will also shift.

In that day this scripture will begin to be fulfilled:

Isaiah 11: 6

"The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them." '

I then knew our time with our Heavenly Parents was ending. I looked at my sister who seemed a little overwhelmed! She and I both thanked our Heavenly Parents for their instructions today. I felt great peace and excitement at this new view of how the earth would be transitioned into a beautiful terrestrial world again.

My vision then ended, and I found myself back in my private setting in my home, writing this all down.

Evening-I worked hard getting the ground ready for planting of our extended berry bed. I also enjoyed talking to my sister today. It is always so nice to talk openly with her about our new insights. I told her all about my experience with her in prayer this morning when she was with me.

Tonight I came to the maple tree grove, on the western shores of Lake Beautiful. The sky was still red, as it has been every time I pray on the celestial orb. I came to the water's edge and drank living water. I then returned to the grove and asked for my Heavenly Mother to come to me.

I then saw the red sky open up, and Heavenly Mother descended to the grove in a very bright and white splash of light! She was smiling and came in front of me in the air.

She spoke immediately: 'Raphael, you have wondered about our use of the telestial and terrestrial physical realms of the earth to bring about our changes for Zion and in the millennial day. This practice at the end of each of our eternities is very common and is normally what we do. Each eternity is slightly different, but in all cases there are three physical realms on each earth: a telestial, a terrestrial and a celestial. The first part of each eternity involves a fall of man to a telestial state. At the end of these eternities, there is a terrestrial era of peace and ordinance work for our faithful children. We almost always completely remove the telestial mortal realm during this peaceful and higher terrestrial era.

At the end of each earth, the earth dies and is resurrected into a celestial earth. The previous realms of telestial and terrestrial are removed and burned with fire. The telestial is normally burned with fire at the start of the era of peace (as will occur on your earth when Jesus Christ returns in glory.) The terrestrial realm is burned with fire at the end of the era of peace when the earth dies (as will happen at the end of 7,000 years of earth's temporal continuance, or after the millennium on your earth). When the earth resurrects, it comes forth in celestial glory with no lower realms, either in the physical or spiritual states. All those who await judgment will be placed in other telestial or terrestrial orbs of glory until all judgments and assignments are finalized. The celestial people will have gone onto their glory and exaltation. Any intervening waiting period for the celestial will occur on the celestial orb.

The righteous who are exalted always inherit a portion of their own resurrected earth. There is great camaraderie and unity among all the celestial in the same eternity. We all receive immense joy and deep contentment in these times. These are our choice elect children who have proven by their works that they are eternal celestial gods, even couple gods in eternity!'

I asked if there is usually a transition individual like myself, Raphael, that bridges the telestial to the terrestrial changes.

Heavenly Mother responded: 'Raphael, we always choose a capable son to act in the same mission and calling as you have received. Usually this individual lives at the very end of the telestial mortal era, and has a role of preparing the people to receive their Redeemer in a second coming event. In your case, you have also been assigned to build the celestial temple on earth, and to perform the entry ordinance into the celestial church. You have great responsibilities that we are trusting you with! Be ever faithful and diligent throughout your entire mortal life, and we will continually be by your side to direct you and guide you in your callings.'

I bowed humbly before her and asked for her strength to be my strength, and to always help me in my callings."

Isaiah 11:6-9
6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.

7 And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.

8 And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice’ den.

9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.

88E1-88E9: "I awoke before my family and came to the adjacent bedroom. I re-read the Word of Wisdom this morning from D&C 89. This also said to eat meat sparingly, and only in times of winter, or of cold or famine:

D&C 89:12-13–

"Yea, flesh also of beasts and of the fowls of the air, I, the Lord, have ordained for the use of man with thanksgiving; nevertheless they are to be used sparingly;

And it is pleasing unto me that they should not be used, only in times of winter, or of cold, or famine."

It looks like we already should not eat meat, only a little here and there, and sparingly. In the summertime, when it is hot like now, we should probably not eat it at all.

Well, these are my thoughts as I came to my God in prayer this morning. I came again to the desert oasis, at the bench facing the water again. I felt very clarified and alert. I really want to eat the foods my Heavenly Parents want me to eat.

Here is another scripture I just remembered:

D&C 49:18-19, 21–

"And whoso forbiddeth to abstain from meats, that man should not eat the same, is not ordained of God;

For behold, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air, and that which cometh of the earth, is ordained for the use of man for food and for raiment, and that he might have in abundance,

And wo be unto man that sheddeth blood or that wasteth flesh and hath no need."

In the Joseph Smith translation of the bible, Noah was given this commandment when he came out of the ark:

JST Genesis 9:1-11

"But the blood of all flesh which I have given you for meat, shall be shed upon the ground, which taketh life thereof, and the blood ye shall not eat.

And surely, blood shall not be shed, only for meat, to save your lives; and the blood of every beast will I require at your hands."

Here is another scripture about how beasts eat in the terrestrial state of the millennium:

Isaiah 11:6-9

"The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together, and a little child shall lead them.

And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.

And the sucking child shall play on the hold of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den.

They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea."

I came in prayer this morning with these thoughts in my mind. I knelt towards the water of the oasis, and saw Heavenly Mother on the water looking at me! I saw her smile and then walk up to me.

She spoke:

'Raphael, the scriptures you have recorded in your journal are pertaining to the diet of our children in the telestial world. The reference to the millennial day in Isaiah chapter 11 shows that animals will also change their diet by eating plants. The enmity of man and beasts will be removed as the entire surface of the earth elevates to a terrestrial state. It will be a wonderful day in which to live!

You are living in the beginning of the transition state from the telestial to the terrestrial state on the earth among mankind, plants and animals. The plants themselves will transform and provide the nutrients needed to fully sustain our children and the animals that used to be carnivores. The constitution of man and these animals will also become more elevated to fully become sustainable from a plant based diet.

When our children are ultimately assigned a kingdom of glory, be it telestial, terrestrial or celestial, they will no longer need food to be sustained. It is only in the physical mortal existence of our children that they need to eat.

Raphael, in the transition to an all plant-based diet in the terrestrial millennial world (**see below), we are pleased when you eat more plant foods and less meat. When the plants become fully vibrant, then we will recommend that our children go on a full plant based diet.'

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her words of wisdom in this transition time. I feel very blessed to have this direction from my Gods on diet.

(**Later: I later inquired of my Heavenly Mother whether the recommended diet in the millennial terrestrial world would include animal products such as dairy, eggs and honey. Here is what she told me:

'Raphael, in the millennium, mankind will avoid the consumption of meat where life is taken. The diet of many of our children at that time will include animal derived products where the life of the animal is not taken. This includes such foods as dairy, eggs or honey.')"

137C1-137C10: "This morning I came to the little spring at the start of Heavenly Mother's upper gardens, right under the granite cliff. I knelt in front of the water's edge. I asked for my Heavenly Parents to come, or one to come to me. As I waited, I saw little minnows in the water, and also frogs. I wondered if the frogs tried to eat the minnows like they would do on the earth in our telestial world.

Then my Heavenly Mother appeared in front of me above the water. She was glorious and so full of light and beauty! The little pool seemed to become more alive with her creations as her light came into the pool below her.

As I knelt before her, I gazed into her bright and accepting face. She was smiling broadly and seemed happy. She then spoke: 'Raphael, my very creations in this pool of living water thrive and grow in this spring, being excited to know that I, their creator am near! You also noticed the baby minnows here. There are offspring of a mountain trout that no longer exists on your earth, and has become extinct. We had asked the adult fish of this species to bear more baby fish so that these might grow into full-grown male and female physical fish here. They will then be transported to mountain streams of the earth in their natural habitat to begin to populate their kind again on the earth. When these celestial offspring are placed in the mountain streams on earth, they will change to telestial fish. Later, when the earth transitions fully to a terrestrial realm, these fish and their offspring will also transform into terrestrial fish.

Raphael, we have now commanded other extinct creatures and plants that once lived on the earth that currently live in heaven to bear offspring here so that these may be placed on your earth. These will come forth gradually upon the earth so that their kind will be on the earth during the great day of the millennium. We desire all of the earth to be filled with all of our creations, as in the beginning at the dawn of the telestial world when Adam and Eve once lived on her surface.

There will also be some of these plants that once lived but no longer exist on earth that will be first planted in the New Jerusalem celestial gardens. These plants will grow quickly and you and others will propagate these upon the earth, in the newly changed terrestrial earth.

Thus at the beginning of the millennium we bring back all of the plants and animals to the earth that once were there at the dawn of the telestial earth. All will become as new again in our millennial world!

You also wondered Raphael whether the frogs here in this mountain spring would eat the baby minnows. These creatures are all celestial, and their nature is not to eat each other like on the telestial earth. They follow the law of the celestial and terrestrial kingdoms, which is that to be found also on your earth in the day of the millennium. This condition is described by Isaiah in Isaiah 11:6-9–"The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.

And the cow and the bear shall feed, their young ones shall lie down together; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.

And the suckling child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrices' den.

They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea."'"

196K8-196K13: "Evening-I came above the fountain of living water tonight and asked for my Heavenly Mother to come to me. She stepped into my celestial realm, and then took my hand and brought me into her highest celestial realm. She then took me to the gardens below us in the temple block. It was dark and she said most of the animals that had been brought to this celestial area were asleep. We then went to where some of they were resting.

We came to trees and saw some beautiful birds perched on branches. At the base of the tree I saw a deer with her offspring, a baby doe. I also saw a sleeping bear nearby that was lying on its side.

Heavenly Mother spoke: 'Raphael, your sister Rachael has helped bring the bear and the deer to this celestial realm on earth. They live compatible together, and both eat plant matter as their main diet. We have asked these animals not to eat the flowers of the beautiful gardens, but to eat grasses and vegetables that we have designated. They will continue to adorn this beautiful celestial realm on the earth, and will do no harm to man or any beast.'

She then took me up in the air and then to the surrounding farmland in the terrestrial part of the island. We came to a small grove of trees and saw a lion and lioness sleeping. There were also some goats and sheep nearby sleeping.

Heavenly Mother spoke: 'Raphael, today is beginning to be fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah 11: 6-9

"The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion, and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.

And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.

And the suckling child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den.

They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain (the New Jerusalem island): for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea." (words in parenthesis from Heavenly Mother).

This is the beginning of bringing our earthly creations here who will completely dwell together without fear or giving harm to one another. Oh, what a beautiful and happy world this will be!'"

______________________________

Isaiah 11:8-9
8 And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice’ den.

9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.

89E8-89E12: "Q 3: 'Why would our Heavenly Parents place poisonous berries on the earth such as baneberries?' A 3: 'There are currently poisonous berries, mushrooms, snakes, spiders and insects, to name a few. These are part of the telestial world, to afflict and torment man:

Genesis 3:18

"Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee…"

This telestial earth does not always bring forth pleasant things, but hard things in opposition to that which is helpful and pleasing to man. It is part of the entire experience for our children to navigate through in their mortal life.

In the millennial world, in a terrestrial state, these same thorns and thistles and poisonous plants and animals will be changed to be no longer poisonous.

Isaiah 11:8-9

"And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den.

They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea."

Satan will also be bound in the terrestrial world. He is currently afflicting our children in the telestial world, even worse than these few poisonous things that exist there.

The baneberries will lose their poison once they are nourished and healed by living water that will cover the earth. They will be a prize berry that our children will eat in the millennium.'"

200A3-200A10: "I looked up into Heavenly Mother's eyes and she spoke: 'Raphael, in our celestial realm, our animals are very happy and compatible together. There is never any aggressive behavior like there is on your mortal earth.'

I then saw a large snake slither across the water. It startled me, for I was accustomed to removing snakes in my garden on earth and didn't expect it here. This was a very large snake that on earth would have eaten the frog and the fish. However, it moved right past the frog, who didn't even jump, and slithered to the other side near Heavenly Mother.

Heavenly Mother continued: 'Raphael, there is no higher food chain where one animal eats other animals, like in the telestial mortal world. Any creature is safe here, and enjoys full felicity to the limit of its capacity.

In our new terrestrial on earth, these animals in our pond would also be compatible and feel very safe. Isaiah spoke of this millennial era:

Isaiah 11:8-9

"They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain."

Our terrestrial mortal children will also accept each other, and refrain from judgment except for those ordained to pass judgment. This right to judge will reside with Jesus Christ, the guards of our Zion cities, leaders of the Church of Christ for Zion and Church of Christ members, and local government leaders. All others will be taught the great importance to accept people as they are with no judgment as to their personal beliefs or previous actions. With the liberties guaranteed by a free society as outlined in the US Constitution and original Bill of Rights, there will be great safety and security for all people. Crime will be unheard of, and contention between people will not exist. All of our children will believe and think what they want and yet will all be accepted and loved. There will be no enforced coercion except for those who may have trespassed a law by those called to maintain the law of the land.

The Church of Christ will have stewardship over those members who will dwell in the Zion cities of the land. This includes ensuring that those living in the boundaries of Zion to have made a covenant when of age to abide the laws and statutes of Zion, and to have been accepted by the border guards for entry into Zion. The guards will have the great gift of discernment to accept only the pure in heart into Zion, and will see eye to eye with those who enter. There will not be a requirement to validate the personal beliefs of Zion's citizens, but only their purity and their active covenant to obey the laws of Zion. We will not have our sons and daughters challenged for their varied personal beliefs, for that is their liberty to choose how and what to think and believe. Their actions to uphold our Zion principles and to live an active covenant is what those who verify their entry into our Zion cities will be concerned with.

In your telestial world, churches and government leaders often judge their members on their beliefs. If they conform to the beliefs of the church or community, they become accepted. We wish to have a new standard of acceptance, not based on beliefs but based upon adherence to righteous principles and actions of love. We will therefore have our children able to think on their own, and voice their opinions and beliefs, without fear of judgment or reprisals. We love the varied religious beliefs of our children, for instance, and want all to be accepted and loved.'"

Wed, Mar 6, 2024
Once deliverance from enemy is accomplished (time of Marriage Supper of the Lamb) then peace will ensue and cover the land of America. The great millennial day will then begin.

94E6-94E8, from Heavenly Father: "Isaiah 11:9

"They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea."

At this time of transition, at the beginning of the millennium, many records that have been kept secret shall be plainly revealed. Your records, Raphael, will become available to all the people. Similarly, your archangel brother [Simiel, see below at end] will translate the sealed portion of the Book of Mormon and also other records of ancient peoples. Many records of great truth and knowledge will come forth on the earth and will spread forth as the waters cover the earth!

Raphael, we look so forward to this beautiful day of peace and rest for the earth and her inhabitants. Your great Redeemer, Jesus Christ, will reign personally on the earth. Your Heavenly Mother and I will frequently come among our people and enjoy their companionship again. This will be the great day for our elect to come forth upon this marvelous terrestrial world!'"

128D9-128D15: "I then found myself back in my translated physical body in front of my Heavenly Mother. She was standing in the air in front of me.

'Raphael, whether you are inside of me, or I in you, I still may communicate to you with my spirit that comes into you. This is my light emitted by my thoughts that flows into your mind and heart. This method remains the highest form of communication, and will never be supplanted by modern inventions of communication. You have marveled how your cell phones allow you to stay connected with family and friends. However, the emotional and thought transfer of our children with each other will never be supplanted with devices or other inventions. The human mind far surpasses anything man may create for communication!

In areas of the control of the elements, including knowledge of the laws of the terrestrial kingdom, mankind will advance and not need large machines like earth-moving equipment. Men and women of skill and faith will be able to move mountains if needs be, all by thought-control. Advancements in engineering, the sciences, and in the arts will enhance life and be so very stimulating for many of our children.

We will encourage our millennial elect to live off their own land as much as possible. The earth will greatly produce all the foods people will need, and a family may easily grow what they eat. There will be little need of grocery stores. People will freely share produce so that there is always an abundance and variety. This will be a Zion society, where there are no poor among our people. Plants and animals will respond to the gentle and kind ways of our people, and support and produce for their well being and all their physical needs.

Water will be pure and have some attributes of our living celestial water. Disease will become rare, and injury to the body quickly repaired by reason of the many healing plants that will grow in abundance. Faithful healers will also be plentiful.

Higher education will be taught along with spiritual education. We will pour out our revelations in abundance, and confirm, to our inquisitive, open children the many truths that have been revealed to mankind up to this point. Revelation will flow to all the faithful.

Our children will live in modest and simple dwellings. Their interest will be in raising their children in righteous ways, supporting and loving family members and friends, and continuing to learn and grow in the knowledge of the Lord. "...for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea." (Isaiah 11:9). All things will be revealed–"And all things shall be revealed unto the children of men which ever have been among the children of man, and which even will be unto the end of the earth." (2 Nephi 27:11)."

178B1-178B5: "From Heavenly Father at the golden altar speaking to me:

'Our elect call upon us and we hear each prayer. There will not be a general time when our elect will covenant to keep the law of obedience and sacrifice, but it will be on a one by one basis. At one point in their pleadings, they will each promise or covenant to obey our words that we inspire them, and will also give away all that they have to know us and to enter into Zion. When they enter the gates of Zion, they will have so few possessions, mostly only their clothes to cover their bodies. These too will be replaced with the simple and humble clothes of Zion. Therefore, all will be made new for our elect when they come into this higher realm on the earth.

After our elect individually covenant to keep the law of obedience and sacrifice, we will make our covenant with them to bring them into the higher realm of Zion, and their posterity, for the remainder of the temporal earth. This covenant will be as real as that of the covenant we made with Noah and his family that we would never again bring the floods on the earth to destroy all flesh. In the latter days, our part of the covenant will be to bring our elect into Zion, the New Jerusalem, a terrestrial mortal earth, and a place of peace and safety forever! We will no longer allow Satan and his hosts to influence or tempt them, for you will remove these wicked spirits to the bottomless pit. We will also no longer allow the mortal wicked to flourish and live in the flesh on the earth, except during the end of the millennium, when Lucifer and his hosts will be released for a little season.

The token of our covenant with our elect will be their simple plain clothing. They will wear this every day, and thereby have a reminder of the covenant we have made with them to bring them into Zion, the terrestrial mortal earth. All the previous telestial life will be a thing of the past save it be the relationships with those who also come with them to Zion, the pure in heart. They may bring with them to Zion certain records we approve of that describe their personal journey to a condition that allowed them to come to Zion.

Raphael, the volumes of your personal record, even the books of Raphael, will be what we want you to bring with you to our New Jerusalem. Your records show the changes you experienced to prepare yourself for Zion, and a large amount of our great revelations we have given to you that can be fully shared in Zion among our elect sons and daughters. They will gladly read and ponder your records and others that contain a fullness of the gospel of Jesus Christ. In that day, the "earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea." (Isaiah 11:9).

Isaiah 65:17-19, 21-22, 24-25

"For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.

But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, I create (the New) Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy.

And I will rejoice in (the New) Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying.

...And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.

They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands.

...And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the Lord." (words in parentheses from Heavenly Father).""

Isaiah 11:10
10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.

Fri, Jul 26, 2024
This is a second mission of John the Beloved, apart from the cleanser and destroyer in verse 4. See D&C 113:6, where a latter-day leader will lead Israel and gather the elect. His name is John the Beloved, a translated being, as designated in other scriptures. This is not Joseph Smith since Joseph is not a descendant of both Ephraim and Jesse (Judah).

59D6-59D22: "I came to the gate and saw with my spiritual eyes, Jesus Christ, my Redeemer! He opened the gate and I entered. The gate swung inwards towards him. He shut the gate after I passed.

I then asked him a question:

'Jesus, my Redeemer, please enlighten my mind more about thy son, thy firstborn child in the flesh, even John the Beloved. I am confused about his role as Elias, and that he will restore all things.'

Jesus then spoke:

'Raphael, he is indeed my firstborn son. He is both the descendant of Jesse through me, his Father, and a descendent of Ephraim through his mother Mary Magdalene. His role as a rod is described in Isaiah 11:1-5. This talks about him as a destroyer of the wicked on the earth. His role as a root of Jesse is described in Isaiah 11:10-16. This talks about his role as the root of Jesse, one of his roles in gathering Israel, mine elect in these last days.

Isaiah 11:1-16:

"And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:

And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord;

And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:

But with righteousness shall he 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.

And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.

The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.

And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.

And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice’ den.

They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.

And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.

And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.

The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim.

But they shall fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines toward the west; they shall spoil them of the east together: they shall lay their hand upon Edom and Moab; and the children of A. shall obey them.

And the Lord shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with his mighty wind shall he shake his hand over the river, and shall smite it in the seven streams, and make men go over dryshod.

And there shall be an highway for the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria; like as it was to Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt."

John my Beloved has these two main roles as described in Isaiah chapter 11. Both of these roles serve as a preparer and a forerunner, even an Elias, before I come again to the earth.

Proceed on to the straight and narrow path, then to the tree of life. More information about my son John, my Beloved, will be given you after you prepare for your morning prayer, and address our Heavenly Parents in prayer.'

I thanked Jesus for his words! I then walked on the gold straight and narrow path, holding onto the rod of iron on my right hand. I soon reached the glorious tree of life. I plucked one of its white glowing fruits and a leaf. I then took them to the mountaintop and then into the eastern skies where I came again to the fountain of living water there in the New Jerusalem. I was facing the fountain looking south at the temple in the distance.

I partook of the fruit while thinking of increasing my love for my wife, for several mortal angels, and then for all the holy angels. As I ate of the leaf, I wanted my mind to be clear and active, and my thoughts to be objective concerning all of my past, and only emotional about the present in all my interactions with God and their children with whom I come in contact. I also thought of my heart to be open to all the feelings of love and compassion upon others. I then felt I was prepared for my prayer.

I knelt in front of the altar, and prayed for my Heavenly Parents to come. Both Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother came to me in a blaze of light from the skies above.

I shared my feelings with them, and then quickly asked about John the Beloved, and his role as Elias, who would restore all things. I told them I had seen a presentation by Anthony Stephan on the role of John the Revelator, and that he would restore all things. I wondered about D&C 86:8-11–

"Therefore, thus saith the Lord unto you, with whom the priesthood hath continued through the lineage of your fathers—

For ye are lawful heirs, according to the flesh, and have been hid from the world with Christ in God—

Therefore your life and the priesthood have remained, and must needs remain through you and your lineage until the restoration of all things spoken by the mouths of all the holy prophets since the world began.

Therefore, blessed are ye if ye continue in my goodness, a light unto the Gentiles, and through this priesthood, a savior unto my people Israel. The Lord hath said it. Amen."

I particularly was confused about verse 10, and wondered how the priesthood of Joseph was to remain until the restoration of all things as spoken by the mouths of all the holy prophets since the world began. There were other scriptures I wondered about too, which referred to John the Revelator restoring all things. I asked for enlightenment. I then waited upon God.

Heavenly Mother then spoke to me:

'Raphael, we are glad that you have asked about what John would restore, even all things from the beginning, prior to the return of our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, to the earth.

When Adam and Eve were first placed on earth, in the Garden of Eden, Adam was conferred the priesthood of Heavenly Father, and ordained to the office of a high priest. Eve also received her equally high authority before us, as a high priestess. I conferred that upon her myself. They were equal partners in their marriage, not only in how they conducted themselves, but also in their authority before us, their Heavenly Parents.

However, this authority and position of high priestess that Eve possessed. Once they left the Garden of Eden into the lone and dreary world, the telestial world, Eve did not confer her position of high priestess upon any of her daughters. The priesthood, however, continued in the earth, as you read about in the scriptures.

Some years ago, we attempted to restore the position of high priestess for our obedient daughters to the leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We were rejected by the leaders of the church at that time. You have recorded this correctly in your posts.

John, the Beloved will come to the new prophet of the Church of Christ, who will be established by the prophet Joseph Smith. John will reveal to this prophet that it is time to restore to the earth again, the office of high priestess for my faithful daughters. The prophet will announce this revelation to the other apostles who will sustain him in his role as prophet, seer and revelator to this Church of Christ. They will present this to the body of the Church of Christ who will also sustain the prophet in this new revelation.

In this way, John will restore the remainder of all things that were lost, even the position of high priestess, that needs to be restored prior to the return of Jesus Christ to the earth.

The most important thing to be restored that was not yet restored is the calling of high priestess. Once this is restored to the Church of Christ, the fulness of the Book of Mormon record will also be restored, when Simiel translates the sealed portion of the Book of Mormon.

The fulness of the priesthood will be restored also, once the office of high priestess is restored formally by John. Then all things will have been restored as they were from the beginning.'"

Sat, Mar 2, 2024
This refers to the gathering of Israel from all the world. The keys of gathering are now with Raphael and John the Beloved. The day spoken of starts when the lost ten tribes will have returned from the land of the north to the island of the New Jerusalem. The Lord will then call 144,000 to gather all the rest from the earth and bring them to Zion in America, even into the terrestrial mortal world.

The Ensign will be the call to gather the elect of God, first spiritually into safe garners, and second temporally to the New Jerusalem in the terrestrial.

The four quarters of the earth are from four rivers which divide the inside surface of the earth into four quarters, where the ten tribes come from.

Wed, Mar 6, 2024
I believe that the "tongue of the Egyption sea" refers to the Red Sea, a which extends from the Indian Ocean. The river in this verse likely refers to the Nile River. This interpretation was confirmed by me in prayer on 3-6-2024.

The return of the ten tribes was on a earthen and rocky highway (see D&C 133:27) in the terrestrial realm. In either side of this elevated barren land was the terrestrial waters of the great deep.

Sat, Mar 30, 2024
The Lord is going to bring nations to destroy Babylon (located primarily in the United States), to destroy the whole land. There will be weapons of his indignation (conventional and nuclear war) initially and then an attack on the land.

Isaiah 13:4-11
4 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.

6 Howl ye; for the day of the Lord is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.

7 Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man’s heart shall melt:

8 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.

9 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.

10 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.

11 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.

143B1-143B13: "Heavenly Mother then immediately came again by my side! She was full of light and understanding.

'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–

"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:

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.

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.

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:

And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OFather THE EARTH.

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."

Revelation 18:3-19–

"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,

Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.

And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:

The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,

And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.

And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.

The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,

And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!

For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,

And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!

And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate."

After I saw the destruction of Babylon by its own collapse from within, by natural destructions and finally by the invading armies, I saw another scene: God was inspiring the people of Israel, his terrestrial elect, to descend upon the occupied land of America from the north and from the south. These righteous people would be full of the power of God, and would have exceedingly great faith. The occupying armies in the land crumbled under these people, like they were being trampled under their feet. When they resisted, the hosts of Israel would be among them as a young lion among the flocks of sheep.

3 Nephi 21:11-29–

"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.

And my people who are a remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles, yea, in the midst of them as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep, who, if he go through both treadeth down and teareth in pieces, and none can deliver.

Their hand shall be lifted up upon their adversaries, and all their enemies shall be cut off.

Yea, wo be unto the Gentiles except they repent; for it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Father, that I will cut off thy horses out of the midst of thee, and I will destroy thy chariots;

And I will cut off the cities of thy land, and throw down all thy strongholds;

And I will cut off witchcrafts out of thy land, and thou shalt have no more soothsayers;

Thy graven images I will also cut off, and thy standing images out of the midst of thee, and thou shalt no more worship the works of thy hands;

And I will pluck up thy groves out of the midst of thee; so will I destroy thy cities.

And it shall come to pass that all lyings, and deceivings, and envyings, and strifes, and priestcrafts, and whoredoms, shall be done away.

For it shall come to pass, saith the Father, that at that day whosoever will not repent and come unto my Beloved Son, them will I cut off from among my people, O house of Israel;

And I will execute vengeance and fury upon them, even as upon the heathen, such as they have not heard.

But if they will repent and hearken unto my words, and harden not their hearts, I will establish my church among them, and they shall come in unto the covenant and be numbered among this the remnant of Jacob, unto whom I have given this land for their inheritance;

And they shall assist my people, the remnant of Jacob, and also as many of the house of Israel as shall come, that they may build a city, which shall be called the New Jerusalem.

And then shall they assist my people that they may be gathered in, who are scattered upon all the face of the land, in unto the New Jerusalem.

And then shall the power of heaven come down among them; and I also will be in the midst.

And then shall the work of the Father commence at that day, even when this gospel shall be preached among the remnant of this people. Verily I say unto you, at that day shall the work of the Father commence among all the dispersed of my people, yea, even the tribes which have been lost, which the Father hath led away out of Jerusalem.

Yea, the work shall commence among all the dispersed of my people, with the Father to prepare the way whereby they may come unto me, that they may call on the Father in my name.

Yea, and then shall the work commence, with the Father among all nations in preparing the way whereby his people may be gathered home to the land of their inheritance.

And they shall go out from all nations; and they shall not go out in haste, nor go by flight, for I will go before them, saith the Father, and I will be their rearward."

I saw that in a relatively short time, Babylon would be destroyed, that great whore of the earth. Then the invading armies that helped destroy Babylon would be destroyed by the hosts of Israel. God would then have gathered many of the terrestrial elect into this choice land of America, and they would help build the New Jerusalem. They would inherit the once Gentile nation, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited (see 3 Nephi 22:3–"For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left, and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.").

Heavenly Mother then faced me and spoke:

'Raphael, your scriptures are replete with the prophecies of these events soon at hand. However, you have not understood them clearly, nor how they would be fulfilled in the way you have seen below us today. This is all part of our strange work and our strange act, in destroying the wicked and preserving our elect, the house of Israel!'"

Isaiah 13:6-9
6 Howl ye; for the day of the Lord is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.

7 Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man’s heart shall melt:

8 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.

9 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.

Wed, Mar 6, 2024
The destruction will cause howling, terror, pangs, sorrows, pain in the people. See also Isaiah ch 19 where Isaiah addresses Egypt, and that the heart of Egypt will melt when the Lord rides upon a swift cloud into Egypt. The Lord is doing this to lay the land desolate and to destroy sinners out of the land. I believe that "their faces as flames" refers to burning by the weapons.

169C24-169C30: "Heavenly Mother spoke: 'Raphael, I will go through Isaiah 13 tonight. This chapter is all about the destruction of modern Babylon, centered in the United States of America. The godless society in which you live will be destroyed by the invading armies and other calamities coming to the earth.

In Isaiah 13:1-9, the prophet describes how God will have summoned the multitudes from a far country to be the weapons of God's indignation. Their arrival will be frightening to the wicked in your land. Those coming will destroy the sinners and lay the land desolate:

Isaiah 13:11

"And I will punish the world (Babylon, or modern Babylon where every man and woman "walketh in his own way, and after the image of his own god, whose image is in the likeness of the world, and whose substance is that of an idol, which waxeth old and shall perish in Babylon, even Babylon the great, which shall fall' (D &C 1:16). 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."

During the invasion of foreign troops to your land, Nibiru will come:

Isaiah 13: 13

"Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place (Raphael, the passing of Nibiru will trigger great changes in the ocean levels which will increase in height. This in turn will create massive earthquakes and will change the configuration of the earth), in the wrath of the Lord of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger."

Your money supply and precious things will be of no worth to the invading armies (verse 17), and the wicked will be slain in large numbers (verse 15-16, 19)

Isaiah 13: 19

"And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees' excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah."

Raphael, the opulent and proud lifestyle of your modern day society will be forever destroyed. All of your society will be dismantled and only the righteous elect, in the end, will remain in the land. Never again will this Babylon lifestyle come again on the earth, for, "it shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation" (verse 20).

143D19-143D28: "Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, you listened to your wife this evening as she shared the accounts of how families were divided up in World War II, and many civilians died in the conflict. People were very afraid in your country, and rallied behind a common cause to stop the German invasion.

In the time of the next war, where your own country will be invaded, the people will not be united, but every man and woman will seek their own protection, and not that of the whole, for the nation will be destroyed. There will be pockets of like-minded people, but your nation's defenses will have been destroyed, and people will be defenseless against the invading foreign powers.

There will be some who seek to resist this occupying force, but that will not be wise. I will have brought the invading king and his army to destroy Babylon (see Isaiah chapter 13).

Isaiah 13:5-9, 11

"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.

...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."

Once I have used the destroying Assyrian king to destroy the land of its government and wickedness, I will then punish the king of the invading army and his burden upon the righteous in the land. Much of this is described in Isaiah Chapter 10. (Note: sections of this chapter were also quoted to me from Heavenly Mother in paragraph B6 above. I take this as a second witness of its truth and importance to know that the time is near at hand.)

Isaiah 10:24-27,33:

Therefore, thus saith the Lord God of hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian; he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt.

For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease, and mine anger in their destruction.

And the Lord of hosts shall stir up a scourge for him according to the slaughter at Midian at the rock of Oreb: and his rod was upon the sea, so shall he lift it up after the manner of Egypt.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.

...Behold, the Lord, the Lord of hosts, shall lop the bough with terror and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, and the haughty shall be humbled."

The king of Assyria with his armies and allied nations will be destroyed by the house of Israel that will come from the north (the Ten Tribes of Israel) and from the south (the remnants of the Nephite and Lamanite nations). These will easily overpower the occupying army, for I will give the remnants of Israel my very power in their destruction.

Isaiah 10:17, 20-23

"And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers (the invading army) in one day.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smite them; but they shall stay upon the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.

The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, the mighty God.

For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness.

For the Lord God of hosts shall make a consumption, even determined, in the midst of all the land." (parenthesis added by Heavenly Father).

The house of Israel coming from the north and south will fulfill the prophecies of treading down the Gentiles, in 3 Nephi 16:15 and 3 Nephi 20:13-20. This destruction is called a consumption by Isaiah in the verses above.

When all the destruction is completed, Babylon will have been destroyed and then the invading army will have become largely destroyed and powerless against my arm of power. Those who remain in the land will be righteous Israel who will have been gathered home to their lands of promise, and to build up Zion.'"

Isaiah 13:10
10 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.

Tue, Nov 29, 2011
The effects of the weapons are darkened skies (nuclear smoke and dust). I believe that this sign of darkening of the sun, moon and stars is unique from the signs of the sun not giving her light, the moon turning to blood. The latter sign is a distinct sign of the great Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

The purpose of destruction is to punish and destroy the wicked for their iniquity, arrogancy, pride and hautiness. The terrible are the globalists who are very cocky.

Isaiah 13:13
13 Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the Lord of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.

Thu, Mar 7, 2024
The effects of the weapons used to destroy Babylon are shaking of heavens and removing the earth out of her place. This would come because of the passby of Nibiru. This is all because of the Lord's fierce anger. See also Revelation 6:14.

Isaiah 13:15-16

Thu, Mar 7, 2024
All the wicked that are left in Babylon that are found will be destroyed in some way. This is the great cleansing of the land.

Isaiah 13:17-19
17 Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which shall not regard silver; and as for gold, they shall not delight in it.

18 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.

19 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees’ excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.

157C3-157D10: "Heavenly Father then appeared in front of me, a little elevated above the waters. He immediately spoke to me:

'Raphael, when our four archangels blow their trumpets, the promised events given in Revelation chapter 8 may overlap into the events of the other angels, even after they blow their trumpets. They are not all to occur within the month following their sounding of the trumpets.

With the coronavirus in your land, it will not die off from the population before other bioweapon viruses are released. The intent of conspiring men and their organizations who release these infectious diseases and other manmade calamities such as severe weather, fires, earthquakes and more, will be to destroy the economies of nations and to benefit from the financial collapse that comes from them. They also intend to depopulate much of humanity and launch their own new world order. They envision a highly controlled police state. They do not realize that their plans will be upset by invading hostile armies who will topple their best-laid plans (see Isaiah chapter 13).

Isaiah 13:17,19: "Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which shall not regard silver; and as for gold, they shall not delight in it.

. . . And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees’ excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah."

Then once this invading army destroys Babylon, the great, who want to be benefited from the financial collapse of your nation and all other countries, I will destroy this army from off your land (see Isaiah chapter 10).

All of these international intrigues, and plans of wicked men and their organizations and nations, shall lay your land waste. Once the wicked destroy the wicked, and Babylon, or the wickedness of your world is destroyed, then will I bring forth Zion. Zion cannot be established in the midst of your land until it is cleansed of your corrupt government and secret societies that now riddle the land. It is then that the remnants of Israel shall come forth from the north countries, and that we will command you to begin the foundations of the New Jerusalem. The earth shall also convulse and add to the cleansing on the land.

Raphael, we see all the plans and secret thoughts of conspiring men and women, and will use these to work our great purposes to transition your earth from a telestial state to a glorious terrestrial state. The promised millennium will come after much tribulation upon the earth.'

Heavenly Father smiled upon me, and comforted me with his words of peace and acceptance:

'Raphael, follow all of the revelations that we will give to you, and we will guide you and our faithful through these dark days ahead. We will have a humble and an open people who know our voice and keep our commandments.'"

Medes, another name for Assyria, or for Russia, who will be disciplined for war.

Babylon is destroyed first by invasion on America, nuclear fire from the invading armies (the beast), and then by fire and brimstone by the Lord (see Eze 38:22) as was the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah

Thu, Mar 7, 2024
Her time is near to come, or her days shall not be prolonged will all occur when Jesus Christ comes in his glorious second coming. He will finally burn up the telestial mortal world, and all on it, by fire. That which might be preserved will have transitioned into the terrestrial mortal world, and enter into the millennial day of peace and rest.

Thu, Mar 7, 2024
After the destruction of the invading armies, some strangers from the armies will remain. Some will be converted and join the church, and those elect will act like taking captives to those whose captives they were (joined their ranks).

Isaiah 14:3
3 And it shall come to pass in the day that the Lord shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve,

There will be hardships, sorrow, fear and bondage that the Saints shall endure before the yoke is lifted at the day of the marriage supper of the lamb. This is just prior to the second coming of Jesus Christ.

21 Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities.

Isaiah 14:25
25 That I will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains tread him under foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders.

Thu, Mar 7, 2024
Assyria (Russia and invading armies) wil be destroyed in part from those 144,000 living in the New Jerusalem, from the Lord's mountains in the terrestrial world. The yoke of oppression from both Babylon and the invading armies (the beast spoken of in the book of Revelation) will be gone forever, for the Lord will redeem and preserve the righteous to inherit the earth. Once done, this heavy yoke and burden from those righteous living in the land will be removed.

The yoke and burden (see my notes in Isaiah 10:27): The burden departed refers to the standing armies who will be removed in the land. The yoke departing from off them refers to the destruction of the whore (Babylon). This is actually more of spiritually strangling (hence a yoke around the neck) upon the people that the burden of an occupying army. Both Babylon and Assyria will be destroyed under the power and authority of John the Beloved, and those under his charge, and by the power of Jesus Christ, his father.

______________________________

Isaiah 14:26
26 This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth: and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations.

Thu, Mar 7, 2024
The destruction of the wicked will start in America and extend to all the telestial world. Those who are righteous will stand in holy places in all their lands, awaiting the second coming of Jesus Christ. The wicked will all be finally destroyed at the second coming of Jesus Christ.

Isaiah 14:29
29 Rejoice not thou, whole Palestina, because the rod of him that smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent’s root shall come forth a cockatrice, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent.

Thu, Mar 7, 2024
Whole Palestina here in verse 29 and also in verse 31 refers to the Philistine nation at the time of Isaiah. Their modern-day counterpart is the Arab nations that surround the land of Israel. These too will apparently be destroyed like the wicked in America.

______________________________

Isaiah 14:30
30 And the firstborn of the poor shall feed, and the needy shall lie down in safety: and I will kill thy root with famine, and he shall slay thy remnant.

Thu, Mar 7, 2024
Those who were poor and oppressed will be comforted and finally be safe. Those that are killed with famine and slain are the wicked who oppressed the righteous.

______________________________

Isaiah 14:31-32
31 Howl, O gate; cry, O city; thou, whole Palestina, art dissolved: for there shall come from the north a smoke, and none shall be alone in his appointed times.

32 What shall one then answer the messengers of the nation? That the Lord hath founded Zion, and the poor of his people shall trust in it.

Thu, Mar 7, 2024
Those from the north are the 144,000 servants, who migrated to the New Jerusalem from the north. These are sent to rescue the righteous on the telestial earth from their enemies, even by destroying their oppressors with fire and smoke. These messengers from the Lord will bring the poor and righteous to Zion, from whence they come. The 144,000 from Zion will both destroy the wicked and then gather the righteous to Zion.

Isaiah 19:1
1 The burden of Egypt. Behold, the Lord rideth upon a swift cloud, and shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it.

Mon, Mar 25, 2024
Egypt (USA) will be destroyed by a swift cloud (nuclear bombs), wherein idols in USA will be moved by the conflagration, heart of Egypt (people) will melt. This prophecy might also be fulfilled with the economic collapse that will precede the nuclear attack. After the economic collapse, all commerce will cease, rioting will ensue, all money will be gone, the government will be bankrupt. Those without food and supplies will have no where else to turn but to fight against their neighbors and society to find food.

28B14: "Q– When Sunday night comes, it will be the Hebrew Year 5777. Is the 7-7-7 part of this new year, a significant number? A– Yes! The 7-7-7 is the number sequence for Jehovah, or Jesus Christ. This is why he is now in red garments–the year of vengeance and judgment against the world which will now begin. This will be in fulfillment of Isaiah 19:1– "The burden of Egypt. Behold, the Lord rideth upon a swift cloud, and shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it." This will occur soon both financially and from devastations from the earth. The remainder of Isaiah 19 will then occur.'"

169D2-169D26: "I came this morning to my private room to pray. I turned to Isaiah 19 and skimmed over it. I am quite familiar with it, since I have identified Egypt with the United States. I am eager to learn more about some parts of this chapter that I have never really understood. I will seek to be very open and receptive.

I came this morning to the fountain of living water where I drank living water. I felt clear and receptive. I then came again to the overlook next to the fallen oak tree. As I walked out of the forest to the overlook, there stood both my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother, holding hands in the air and facing me! I felt so grateful to be again in their presence. I knelt before them and spoke: 'My Heavenly Parents, I am very pleased to be again in your glorious presence this morning! I saw a video last night about the arrival of Planet X, or Nibiru, and had questions about the alignment of true north with magnetic north on the earth, and if the polar shifts will really happen. May I be enlightened on this subject?'

Heavenly Father responded: 'There is much truth in that video, Raphael. When Nibiru passes close by the earth, its strong gravitational pull will move the north magnetic pole and cause a pole shift on the earth. In doing so, the large magnetic deposits now at your magnetic north will shift to the south pole, and cause the magnetic north to be south. The outer crust of the earth will loosen from the magna under it and rotate, even as an orange with a loose skin detaches from the fruit and would be free to move. The northern and southern holes to the inner earth will switch places also so that the northern entrance to the inner earth will become the new southern entrance. The inner earth will stay in the same position, but the outer earth will rotate 180 degrees to its new position. This is all initiated by the near pass of Nibiru to the earth. There will be many physical upheavals, volcanoes and earthquakes upon the outer surface of the earth, and the oceans will have new boundaries. The earth will shift back to what it was like before the days of Peleg, when the earth's seas were first divided (see Genesis 10:25) and your post 156C6).

Raphael, we will use this dramatic event to further cleanse the earth of its current wicked inhabitants. In the process, we will, however, preserve the righteous elect by our matchless power.

The coming of Nibiru will be preceded by other meteors and cosmic dust that it held close to this star. There will be an increase of meteorite activity coming even before Nibiru itself arrives, as you have seen in the recent video you saw (see new post 168B10-168B15). All of these events will cause the people of the earth to die or to have great disruptions in their lifestyle.

Isaiah Chapter 19 addresses the cataclysmic events of Nibiru coming to the earth, and of the invading armies. Egypt is the code word for the United States:

Isaiah 19:1,3 "The burden of Egypt. Behold, the Lord rideth upon a swift cloud, and shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it. (The swift cloud is the arrival of the Nibiru system of meteorites followed by Nibiru itself).

And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst thereof, and I will destroy the counsel thereof (the government of your country); and they shall seek to the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards (these are all inspired by Satan)."

After the coming of the meteorite showers coming to your land, then will those in your land of the United States be attacked.

Isaiah 19:4 "And the Egyptians will I give over into the hand of a cruel lord; and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, the Lord of hosts."

This king is the two dictators of both China and Russia who are allies for a period of time in attacking and occupying the United States.

The actions of the Nibiru system will affect most waterways and rivers (verses 5-8). Some will be dried up and others flooded over. The seashore will have an all new coastline.

In your country, manufacturing will largely cease (Verses 9-10, 15), and there will be an increase of civil disturbance which have already begun in your country:

Isaiah 19:2 "And I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbour; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom."

Anciently Zoan was the capital of Egypt, so this refers to your current capital of Washington, DC and its leaders:

Isaiah 19: 11-14 "Surely the princes of Zoan are fools, the counsel of the wise counsellors of Pharaoh is become brutish: how say ye unto Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings? (or, in your day, like to the founding fathers).

Where are they? where are thy wise men? and let them tell thee now, and let them know what the Lord of hosts hath purposed upon Egypt.

The princes of Zoan are become fools, the princes of Noph are deceived; they have also seduced Egypt, even they that are the stay of the tribes thereof. (this latter phrase refers to the tribe of Ephraim, who have in large part been gathered to the LDS church and Christian churches throughout your land. These too have mostly been deceived.)

The Lord hath mingled a perverse spirit (gross deception) in the midst thereof: and they have caused Egypt to err in every work thereof, as a drunken man staggereth in his vomit."

Raphael, I will continue with verse 17 tonight. Come here today if you have time, or tonight and I will complete the true interpretation of Isaiah chapter 19.'

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his remarkable words. I said I would stay close to him and Heavenly Mother throughout the day. I then closed my conscious prayer and started my new day.

Evening- I am back before my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother at the overlook. It is like nothing changed! I feel ready to receive more.

Heavenly Father spoke again: 'Raphael, I am glad you came back early this evening and are alert. I will continue with the meaning of Isaiah 9:17-25.

Isaiah 19:17

"And the land of Judah (this refers to the New Jerusalem area in the center of the land of promise. Jesus Christ is from the tribe of Judah, and it is in this city that he will reign over all the earth as her rightful king. Once the foundations of the New Jerusalem are laid, even so that "there is no weapon that is formed against you shall prosper" (D&C 71:9)) shall be a terror unto Egypt, everyone that maketh mention thereof shall be afraid in himself, because of the counsel of the Lord of hosts, which he hath determined against it."

There will still be the wicked who live in the land of promise, even after the New Jerusalem has started to be built. We will bring groups of our righteous elect to this and other cities of Zion in the land, with the intention to train and tutor them to develop increased faith and dependence upon God. There will be obstacles along their journey, even as Spencer wrote about in his book "Visions of Glory". These trials will all help us to mold their character to be allowed to come into a city of Zion where the pure in heart will live.

Isaiah 19:18 "In that day shall five cities in the land of Egypt speak the language of Canaan (these are five wicked cities ruled by groups like Black Lives Matter and Antifa whose intent is to steal and murder, and live Marxist principles. These are not associated with the invading armies, but are a law to themselves), and swear to the Lord of hosts; one shall be called, the city of destruction," These five cities will be destroyed by the power of God when the northern tribes descend and their prophet raises his staff over these cities (see Isaiah 10:26). This same event is spoken of in Isaiah 19:20.

"And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry unto the Lord because of their oppressors, (against the armies and wicked in the land who afflict them in their travels to the New Jerusalem or to the cities of Zion), and he shall send them a Savior, and a great one, and he shall deliver them (this includes the prophet of the northern tribes, and the power of us, your Gods, through our angels and other servants)."

It is in this future day when our elect will "vow a vow unto the Lord, and perform it" (verse 21), and will be a righteous people.

In all of the tribulations coming upon the elect in the next few months, it may feel like we are smiting and punishing our elect. However, by chastisement and trials our people are healed, and will return unto us, their Gods (verse 22).

At that time, the elect in your land who are labeled as Egyptians by Isaiah, will be preserved; the northern tribes will be preserved; the northern tribes labeled by Isaiah as Assyrians (because they escaped their ancient Assysrian captors who took them captive in 921 BC) will be preserved; and the group of our elect from the south, the remnants of Jacob who Isaiah labels as Israel will also be preserved in the land. These three main groups of our elect will then mingle and work side by side in building Zion, and rebuilding waste places in this land of promise (see Isaiah 19:23-25). People from all three groups will be called to labor in building the New Jerusalem city and temple.

Raphael, today I have enlightened your mind to the great prophecies of Isaiah about your country, the United States of America (called by Isaiah as Egypt) and its demise. However, this land of promise (America) will quickly convert to a righteous land, containing the New Jerusalem and righteous cities of Zion across the land. This is how it will be when Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son, comes in glory to the earth!"

3 And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst thereof; and I will destroy the counsel thereof: and they shall seek to the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards.

The spirit of Egypt is the faith and posture of the people--it will fail. The counsel of Egypt is the government, at the federal, state and local levels.

Tue, Sep 30, 2014
I believe when the faith in God diminishes, people turn towards eastern religions who have promises for healing the spirit. However, since these have at their root false religion and evil spirits, they will further worsen the people's well-being.

A major drought is coming to the USA. Good reason to have a source of clean water supply handy. This drought will become I believe especially bad on the west coast from the ocean. The river (v 5) might refer to a river like the Colorado River which is very depleted now.

Isaiah 19:11-13
11 Surely the princes of Zoan are fools, the counsel of the wise counsellors of Pharaoh is become brutish: how say ye unto Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?

13 The princes of Zoan are become fools, the princes of Noph are deceived; they have also seduced Egypt, even they that are the stay of the tribes thereof.

Sun, Oct 18, 2015
Zoan is the capitol of Egypt, so this refers to government leaders who think they are better than our founding fathers, and want to dismiss their works. Noph was the ancient resident city for Egypt's kings. Truly the current US government has seduced the people! The princes of Zoan refers to the federal branches of government who have deceived the people with lies, seducing the people.

Isaiah 19:14
14 The Lord hath mingled a perverse spirit in the midst thereof: and they have caused Egypt to err in every work thereof, as a drunken man staggereth in his vomit.

Tue, Nov 10, 2015
The drunken man infers drunken with wine which Isaiah in ch 1 links up with money supply. So the perverse spirit is the gain and appetite for money that people in the US have. The word perverse refers to lying spirit of those that lied and misled us.

When the Lord mingles a perverse spirit in all the midst thereof, it means there is gross deception in the land-in all areas, even deceiving the main stay of the tribes (from verse 13, which I think is Ephraim).

The land of Judah might refer to the LDS populations in the intermountain west. Jerusalem (SLC) and Judah (Utah) are evident in Isa chapters 1 and 2, first verses. If the intermountain west is maintaining order, then that could be a terror to those who want to conquer the land.

Isaiah 24 Chapter Summary
Men will transgress the law and break the everlasting covenant—At the Second Coming, they will be burned, the earth will reel, and the sun will be ashamed—Then the Lord will reign in Zion and in Jerusalem.

34B10-34B19: "While driving on an errand later this morning, I was alone in my car. I had just put in a CD in the player in the car, my Isaiah CD. I then felt I needed to listen, right then, to Isaiah chapter 24. I had known a little what was in this chapter, but I couldn't really recall much at this time.

I listened to the entire chapter 24, three times while in my car. I feel it is a very timely message for us in our day.

Isaiah talks about the calamities soon to overtake the land, and all the people in the world. He also talks about the failing money supply (this keyword is wine = money, see Isaiah chapter 1:22 for this reference). The gleaning grapes are the elect whom God has recently selected, when I saw him finishing his spiritual harvest in his wheat field. The angels are also referenced too! I think I will post this, and give my commentary too, under the selected verses:

'Isaiah Chapter 24 LDS Heading: Men will transgress the law and break the everlasting covenant—At the Second Coming, they will be burned, the earth will reel, and the sun will be ashamed—Then the Lord will reign in Zion and in Jerusalem.

R: This chapter describes what will happen to our country and the world in the near future:

"Behold, the Lord maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.

And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him.

The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the Lord hath spoken this word.

The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish.

The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.

Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.

The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all the merryhearted do sigh.

The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth.

They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be bitter to them that drink it.

The city of confusion is broken down: every house is shut up, that no man may come in.

There is a crying for wine in the streets; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone."

R: In verses 7-11 above, the mention of wine is the money supply (see Isa 1:22 'Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water', where the silver (money supply) relates to the wine, or the code word for money is wine). In other words, the money supply in our country will languish (stock market crash, dollar worthless). The new wine (new money that is brought in by the globalist I assume) 'mourneth' (v. 7). Even though people cry out for money, there is none, and 'the mirth of the land is gone' (v. 11).

"In the city is left desolation, and the gate is smitten with destruction.

When thus it shall be in the midst of the land among the people, there shall be as the shaking of an olive tree, and as the gleaning grapes when the vintage is done.

They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the Lord, they shall cry aloud from the sea.

Wherefore glorify ye the Lord in the fires, even the name of the Lord God of Israel in the isles of the sea."'

R: In verses 13-15, I believe Isaiah refers to the elect that have been chosen (the gleaning grapes, or those grapes (people) that are left over). These elect will 'lift up their voice' to the Lord, seeking him as times get tough.

"From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs, even glory to the righteous. But I said, My leanness, my leanness, woe unto me! the treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously; yea, the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously."

R: I believe that this verse 16 is referring to the angels who will come 'from the uttermost part of the earth', and sing songs of glory to the righteous (the elect), whom they will protect, heal and gather, ultimately to the New Jerusalem.

"Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth."

And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth do shake.

The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly.

The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.

And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited.

Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the Lord of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously."

R: the whole land and situation on the earth sounds pretty desperate. We who are righteous, will be gathered to Zion, the New Jerusalem, where there will be peace and glory."

Tue, Nov 29, 2011
The reason why the Lord will cleanse the land: because the people are wicked, have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinances, and broken the everlasting covenant of the gospel as restored in its fulness in these last days. The major amount of cleansing will be by burning which is probably the quickest way to destroy the wicked. The burning is by nuclear war, conventional war, and burning from the Lord Himself.

Isaiah 26:20-21–

"Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.

For, behold, the Lord cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain."

Isaiah 28:1
1 Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, whose glorious beauty is a fading flower, which are on the head of the fat valleys of them that are overcome with wine!

Sun, Dec 31, 2023
The drunkards of Ephraim are members of the LDS church that need to repent and rely on the Lord or be swept off the land like the rest of the wicked. The head of the fat valley I believe refers to the oppulant lifestyle of the Saints. Overcome with wine is overcome with wealth, with the high lifestyle. A fading flower is that the latter-day church used to be glorious, with lots of miracles, etc. Now that is fading (our day). There are things that are not good in the members of the church like pride, reliance on Babylon, the laziness in not testing by the Spirit what leaders say, and becoming very spiritually dead.

Brigham Young said: "The worst fear I have about this people is that they will get rich in this country, forget God and His people, wax fat, and kick themselves out of the Church and go to hell. This people will stand mobbing, robbing, poverty, and all manner of persecution, and be true. But my greater fear … is that they cannot stand wealth.” (James S. Brown, Life of a Pioneer, Salt Lake City: Geo. Q. Cannon and Sons Co., 1900, pp. 122-23.)

Isaiah pronounces a woe to Ephraim on the earth. This is the same first woe pronounced by the 5th angel in Revelation 9:1‐11. See my notes on verses 2 and 17, and also in Revelation 9:1.

169E5-169E28 "Heavenly Mother then spoke: 'Raphael, this chapter speaks about the tribe of Ephraim who have largely been received into the LDS church in your own land. As you know, we have withdrawn my Spirit from them, and the Father has withdrawn his Priesthood and his authority and keys from the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. This church is now without our guidance, and is likened to this fallen oak tree to my right side.

Isaiah 28:1

"Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim (this refers to the current general authority leaders who believe that God cannot withdraw his authority from them, or cannot supplant this Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints with another church, for they think they still hold the keys of the kingdom.), whose glorious beauty is a fading flower (the first leaders starting with Joseph Smith, the prophet, were open and humble. Even though some successors introduced falsehoods, we stayed by their sides for they were generally also humble and seeking us in sincerity. This was a time when the spiritual beauty of this church was apparent, and my Spirit came upon them.), which are on the head of the fat valleys (the valleys are Salt Lake Valley, Utah Valley, Ogden Valley and Cache Valley. These are where the largest concentrations of the LDS people are located, along the Wasatch Front) of them that are overcome with wine! (wine refers to riches. This area of the LDS church, and those members throughout the United States, are rich and support those in the center place of Salt Lake City with their tithes and offerings.)'

We have calamity in store for these LDS leaders and proud members, even a major earthquake, an ensuing flood, and an occupying army;

Isaiah 28:2-4

"Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one, which as a tempest of hail and destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters overflowing, shall cast down to the earth with the hand.

The crown (the leaders) of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, shall be trodden under feet:

And the glorious beauty, which is on the head (the LDS leaders and President) of the fat valley, shall be a fading flower (this is the spiritual description of this current church today), and as the hasty fruit before the summer, which when he that looketh upon it seeth, while it is yet in his hand he eateth up. (this is an analogy of how quickly this LDS church shall depart and fade, even as the fallen oak tree behind me)."

Those who are our elect in the LDS church will start to awaken spiritually to us their Gods. In verse 5 these are called "the residue of his people".

Isaiah 28:5

"In that day shall the Lord of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his people". (These have been chosen to receive, after their trials and their obedience, a celestial crown of glory, even in the Church of the Firstborn).

However, even the elect scattered throughout the world have erred greatly in their ease and dependence upon Babylon, or the pleasures of the world. Those in the LDS church have depended upon their own prophet and leaders without verifying that they are leading them in righteous paths. The wine and strong drink in this next verse refers to money, for Satan has created a world where you can buy anything you want with money:

Isaiah 28:7-8

"But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way (their dependence upon money is consuming many, and is the basis of many decisions in the LDS church- it is out of the way), the priest and the prophet (the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve, and President Nelson) have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink (this phrase is repeated a second time for emphasis); they err in vision, they stumble in judgment. (Your Heavenly Mother, Jesus Christ and I have all left their counsels and their individual lives. I do not send my Holy Ghost upon them any more. Therefore, they err in vision and stumble in judgment).

For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness (spiritual filthiness, which invites the adversary, even Lucifer, to take up the void for the lack of our Spirit), so that there is no place clean (spiritually clear, humble, and receptive to our words and impressions to their hearts and minds.)."

The next verses 9-10 refer to the requirement of those thus who find themselves in a church no longer led by prophets and apostles acting under the guidance of God:

Isaiah 28:9-10

"Whom shall he teach knowledge, and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? (The "he" here is God who reveals our will to our sons and daughters. What are the requirements to receive revelation?) them that are weaned from the milk and drawn from the breasts (our elect who hear our voice must wean themselves from the constant false dribble that now comes from leaders of the LDS church. How can they listen to those who are not inspired by God, but secretly by Satan, and then listen to us their Gods in their personal quiet time? The falsehoods they are used to must be severed in order to receive freshly our light and true revelation.)

For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept (repeated for emphasis); line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; (this is how we reveal our truths to the faithful: we give a little and see how they receive it then we give more, a little more, and not all at once. We let faith and actions take place in the lives of our elect, and we see how they do. Change in their lives is gradual but sure.)"

For those who will not listen or hear us (verse 12) we will send the foreign occupying troops:

Isaiah 28:11

"For with stammering lips and another tongue will he (God) speak to this people."

For these they will not be led, little by little as we require, but will "fall backward, and be broken, and snared and taken, or taken spiritually by the adversary, and later by the armed troops."

Isaiah 28:14-15

"Wherefore hear the word of the Lord, ye scornful men that rule this people which is in Jerusalem (in your day, Jerusalem is the centerplace of the LDS church, even Salt Lake City, Utah. Anciently the center of the church was in Jerusalem, and this is why Isaiah uses this word Jerusalem.)

Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death (the LDS prophet and leaders, partly knowing and partly not knowing have made a covenant with Satan to follow his direction in return for honor, praise, money and power), and with hell are we at agreement (this agreement includes alliances and secret agreements with government, foreign governments, and industries or companies to bring them gain); when the overflowing scourge shall pass through (COVID-19 and more particularly the aerosol dispersion of the new virus from a foreign government over the Salt Lake Valley several months ago that we, your Gods, have temporarily suspended), it shall not come unto us; for we have made lies our refuge (lies to the general membership of the LDS church), and under falsehoods have we hid ourselves."

Raphael, what I have revealed to you of the extent of cover-up and lies and falsehoods, given by the current prophet and general leaders of the LDS church is true. All who read these words I have given to you should confirm through my Spirit the truth of those things. This is in large part why we could no longer support their actions, and have cut ourselves off from them.

For our righteous elect, if they follow the cornerstone principles of the founding of the LDS church, these pure doctrines, these will lead them to our truths. The cornerstone is Jesus Christ, and he is a sure foundation upon which our elect may rely (verse 15).

Raphael, come again here tonight for our revelation of the remainder of Isaiah 28:17-29. We will be here throughout your day as well, and give you answers to your questions that you might have. Whatever we reveal to you, we are also willing to confirm and reveal to any of our sons and daughters who come humbly and openly before us in mighty prayer.'

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her revelations this morning. I wrote whatever came into my mind, and her words just flowed into me, and I wrote them quickly. I will come again tonight to receive more from my Gods who reveal great truths and secrets.

Evening- Tonight I came again to the overlook by the fallen oak tree. My Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother were both there, still in the air in front of me, and I was kneeling on the ground at the overlook facing them.

Heavenly Mother spoke immediately, 'Raphael, you see that time is a factor in your mortal world, but not for us here. We are in the same position as we were this morning in your mortal time, but for us there hasn't been a long lapse but only a short moment. Nevertheless, we are available to you all the day long while you live your day in mortality. This is what continuous prayer is. We are both always available to each other in our celestial realms, and in your unconscious state. You are also quickened and better at transitioning from your conscious to your unconscious state. You may come here quickly into our presence when you are in continual prayer.

I would like to continue on with the remainder of Isaiah 28, starting with verse 17:

Isaiah 28: 17-20

"Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet (in your day we will judge the people, even as we have done already in selecting our elect from the wicked. We have spiritually gathered the elect into our garners, sent my corona fire upon them, and assigned many of our celestial and terrestrial servants to protect and guide them): and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place (we will expose those who work in darkness, in secret combinations and wicked agreements).

And your covenant with death (see verse 15) shall be disannulled (ended), and your agreement with hell shall not stand (for Satan does not support his own who make covenants with him, for he is the father of lies, and will do as he chooses for his ultimate advantage); when the overflowing scourge shall pass through (verse 15), then ye shall be trodden down by it.

From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it passover, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report (the short isolation that you have already been exposed to, with the global pandemic, is a type of the more intense vexing times that will come upon the people).

For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on it; and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in it." (This will be a time of great privations for the unprepared who survive. Food, water, and basic shelter and clothing will be lacking. Normal places of repose, security and hiding will be gone. A man who lies down to rest at night will not find it).

Raphael, we will do our work, our strange work, and our act, our strange act before all people (verse 21). There will come a consumption upon the wicked, which is brought about by the return of the northern tribes of Israel, by the power of God (see Isaiah 10:22-23, 25-26).

Isaiah 28:26-29 is our instruction on the plowman, whom God instructs, and teaches (verse 26). Revelation from us is like what the plowman learns for each seed needs to be planted differently, or with different tools and at different depths. The plowman learns how to prepare the soil, how to make each seed have the best have a chance to sprout and to grow. Likewise the learning from God is wonderful, we are liberal in counsel, and excellent in working. Blessed is our elect child who seeks our guidance and gradually receives, here a little and there a little.' "

Isaiah 28:2
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.

Sun, Jul 14, 2024
Updated 8-24-2023: This scripture refers to one mighty and strong, the same spoken of in D&C 85:7‐9. This is the archangel Raphael, referred to in Revelation 9:1-11. He uses his black key to open the bottomless pit and blows his trumpet of God, pronouncing a woe upon the whole earth. See my note on Revelation 9:1. See also verse 17 wherein the Isaiah says that hail and a flood (spiritually speaking) will overcome those of Ephraim. I believe that these are the evil spirits that persuade them to choose evil and fall away from God.

Updated 5-22-2023: The mighty and strong one is the same individual as described in D&C 85:6-7, even Raphael. This I received in prayer today. This may also refer secondarily to the invading army described below.

The mighty and strong one might be a double prophecy, and secondarily refer to an invading army that lays the land low. There are prophecies extensive flooding in the Salt Lake, Cache and Utah Valleys after a major earthquake. The invading fire (nuclear bombs) and army (beast) will come and be overflowing all across the USA.

See also 1 Nephi 21:3-7 which elaborates more of this individual, the one mighty and strong.

Isaiah 28:4
4 And the glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley, shall be a fading flower, and as the hasty fruit before the summer; which when he that looketh upon it seeth, while it is yet in his hand he eateth it up.

Sun, Dec 31, 2023
This might be an indication of when the bombs come, or when the invading army comes: just before summer. The fat valley (lots of money) is in Salt Lake Valley and Utah Valley perhaps. The head of the valley is either the church and/or the local and state government. The fading flower, or glorious beauty has been, and now is changing. The hasty fruit refers apparently to the first crop of figs, early to the latter end of June. Since there are usually 3 crops of figs, these first ones are hastily eaten, the latter crops are preserved. Similarly, the invading army would eagerly advance and destroy the land and cities, not sparing them.

As Heavenly Mother said in the note in verse 1 above, "this is an analogy [fading flower] of how quickly this LDS church shall depart and fade, even as the fallen oak tree behind me".

Sun, Dec 31, 2023
The best thing that the righteous have is to have the Lord be on their side, who gives them their crown of glory, a diadem of beauty. These are those chosen of the Father, and those who resist Satan and his hosts that have come out of the bottomless pit to torment mankind.

See note in verse 1, from Heavenly Mother about the diadem of beauty: "(These have been chosen to receive, after their trials and their obedience, a celestial crown of glory, even in the Church of the Firstborn)."

Isaiah 28:7-8
7 But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment.

8 For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean.

Sun, Dec 31, 2023
Erred through wine means erred through having money be their God (Isaiah ch 1 makes connection between money and wine). This blurs judgments and vision. Truly there is so much wickedness because of power, greed, control and the love of money. It is interesting that the Lord incriminates the priest and the prophet, and if taken literally these are the very leaders of the LDS church, who have brought upon them the wrath of God. These have lost their priesthood and keys by turning away from God. They have stumbled in judgment and are out of the way, just as a drunken man staggers under intoxication. This intoxication is with pride, money and wealth, dependence upon Babylon, Satan, and co-conspirators in government and industry I believe. They think that they have not apostatized, but God views them differently. They are still in a recognized authority position. When Isaiah says that "all tables are full of vomit", this means to me that their behaviors are repulsive to God, that He would want to depart and hide from them. There is no place in government, religion, nor industry that is clean and untouched by the affluence and corruption of money.

42G4-42G7: "Then Heavenly Father spoke to me:

. . . 'The words of Isaiah 28:7-8 are now fulfilled regarding religion:

"7 But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment.

8 For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean."

The world in which you live has gone far astray. You then may wonder to whom you can go for enlightenment and respite.

Isaiah 28:9-10 states the answer:

"9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts.

10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little"

Raphael, you have separated yourself sufficiently from religious institutions to hear our voice, and to follow our direction. This is what is meant by being weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breast."

67K5-67K11: Heavenly Father then asked me to write his words he would give to me:

'Raphael, each of our holy angels in mortality, and our other servants as well, need to confirm with us in prayer whom they are to follow. This is a time of decision! We have clearly confirmed with you that the apostle leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are now out of the way. They have lost their priesthood and priesthood keys, and are without God in the world for revelation to direct the church. They are no longer prophets, seers and revelators.

The scripture Isaiah 28:7-10 is now fulfilled (my (God's) comments in parentheses).

"But they also have erred through wine (money), and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink (thinking they cannot be misled and that God cannot leave them alone or choose another), they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink: they err in vision, they stumble in judgment.

For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean (their current spiritual state before us).

Whom shall he (God) teach knowledge? And whom shall he make to understand doctrine? Them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts (those who have stepped aside or apart from the mainstream LDS church).

For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little (in other words, I, God, will give the faithful revelation gradually, as they are able to receive it)."

Raphael, as you copied the scripture above down in your journal, I have added my comments for you to write in parentheses. This is of me and not of you.

The great need for personal revelation for those in this day who seek to follow our ways is emphasized by my prophet Isaiah in verse 16 and in the parable of the plowman, found in Isaiah 28:23-29:

"Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste. (This stone is both Jesus Christ, my Beloved Son, and revelation that I God give to the faithful)."

In the parable of the plowman, God instructs in detail the plowman how to plant various seeds. In verse 26:

"For his God doth instruct him to discretion, and doth teach him."

This is how I give my children revelation–by carefully instructing the humble and faithful who will listen to my voice and keep my commandments.

See finally verse 29:

"This also cometh forth from the Lord of hosts, which is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in working."

Raphael, we three Gods you worship are in full agreement on these things. We will confirm through revelation to every humble and sincere soul who prayerfully comes unto us the same truths that we have given to you. Each one needs to connect with us in prayer and settle this in their own heart and mind. This is the word of God to all of my children.' "

______________________________

Isaiah 28:9-10
9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts.

10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:

Tue, Mar 26, 2024
The great need for personal revelation is needed among the members of the LDS church. Weaned means to separate from the directives of the leaders of the church so we can hear on our own the voice of the Lord to us. He requires us to hear from him, not necessarily through our leaders. There is a lot of brain-washing going on that people don't even realize they are believing something to be of God when our leaders say it or the LDS culture dictates so.

This is how the revelation he has promised will be given: very slowly, day by day, a little here and a little there. It is a perfect way to ensure that the recipient is ready for more, and follows after what has already been received and implemented.

75D10-75D11: Heavenly Mother then spoke to me:

'Raphael, we are so glad to all three be before you today. You have followed our will, and we have given you more, here a little and there a little:

"Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts.

For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little." (Isaiah 28:9-10)

You have been weaned from the milk, or separated from the religious norms all around you. You have been open to us, which has caused you to be drawn away from the LDS Church to some degree. We have then revealed you our word, gradually as you were able to receive and assimilate our revelations. We thus continue to bless and guide you.

We will repeat this pattern for each one of our elect children. They thus will individually choose to follow us over man or Satan's ways.' "

102B6-102B7: Isaiah 28:9-10 (comments in parentheses by Heavenly Mother)

"Whom shall he teach knowledge? And whom shall he make to understand doctrine? Them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. (This means that they don't rely on others' views, or a supposed way of how things are done; or the doctrines of others, but are determined to find out for themselves, being very open and receptive to us, their Gods)

For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:" (Isaiah repeats these phrases in this verse, emphasizing how slow and gentle our guidance and revelations are to those who receive. We want them to absorb one teaching or doctrine before giving them more. We especially don't want to reveal too much, for we don't want them to be overwhelmed.)"

. . . As others read your accounts, it will be helpful for them to read from the beginning, how you grew and perceived more and more, as we gradually revealed our revelations to you. As they read and ponder your writings, we wish them to also pray and ponder over your words. We will confirm all our truths to them, like we confirmed these originally to you. We ultimately desire a close communion with each of our beloved sons and daughters who are in their mortal probation. Your words and revelations will lead them along, as will other scriptural accounts we give them.' "

44G3, from Heavenly Father: "We are pleased that you have fully accepted this truth, and are now prepared to act in whatever we ask of you to do. We desire all of our angels to 'wean themselves from the milk, and draw themselves from the breasts' of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and the culture in which they live (see Isaiah 28:9 "Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts."). Our desire is to have each of them come unto us, and receive all truth from our very mouths. For very soon, we will come down and initiate the cleansing of our own church, and then of the world (see D&C 112:24-26)."

119D4-119D8: "Isaiah 28:10–"For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept, line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:"

We now introduce to you truths of our world, here a little and there a little, in a gradual way. As you consistently come to your Heavenly Father and me, we also consistently pour out upon you our revelations, and our truths from heaven.

We will reveal to each of our diligent children all of our truths as they come to us in humility and determination. They each demonstrate to us that they place receiving our revelations and truths higher than anything else in their lives. They each must choose what they put first in their own lives. Without the options to choose, we wouldn't know what they really wanted.

The ability of each of our spirit children to choose was planned from the very beginning, even with our first parent Gods. They realized the great importance of opposition, and freedom to choose on their own, without compulsory means. As their righteous children, they valued living more and more like their gods, and changing until they even became like them. It is only when they are like them, as celestial children, that they were to be ordained after their order, even in becoming gods themselves.

Others of our children arose to the level of goodness they chose, some to a terrestrial glory and some to a telestial glory. If they didn't put us first in their lives, they wouldn't receive the same reward and blessing as those who put us first. It was a great blessing for each of these, our children who received a salvation from our hands, to have what they were willing to receive. We are happy for each one, and reward each according to their desires and their actions. However, the ones who give us a fulness of joy all are those who become like us, and are even ordained as couple gods in eternity."

185A19, from Heavenly Mother: "As they enter and are lovingly welcomed and received as Saints in Zion, they will need to be taught our truths. These humble elect will be very open and receptive to our truths that we witness to them by our Spirit. Thus by "precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little and there a little." (see Isaiah 28:13) will our word come to our elect who must then prove our truths by the Spirit of God that comes from us. They will gradually come to know of the many truths we have revealed to you, and will have fully embraced these truths. They will then become one with our people in Zion, the pure in heart.' "

86B3-86B8: "You have wondered yesterday evening if you were writing my words to you out of your own imaginations. However, this thought can be easily dismissed since thinking anything else except that which you wrote didn't feel correct. Even now, as you write my words to you in your journal, you are only writing that which "flows" into your mind. These words are not from yourself, your own imaginations, but from me, your loving Mother!

When you started your meditations this morning, you wondered and asked where you should come to pray. All of the places you asked about to come were not correct and you could quickly discern these were not places we wanted to have you come. It was only when you thought of coming to my glass table here that you felt assured this was where we wanted you to come. Raphael, we prompted you to come here and verified this to you by our gentle and soft whispers. This is how we lead you, in such a mild and gentle flow of information that comes into your open and receptive mind and spirit.

We know all the thoughts and the intents of your heart also. You are pure and clean before us, else we would not come before you. We also see all of our children–their thoughts, feelings and intentions of their hearts. We respond to all in our own way, leading and blessing those who seek us diligently and sincerely.'

Heavenly Father then spoke to me:

'Raphael, your Heavenly Mother or I both speak to you generally in the same gentle mode. Our words are actually thoughts we communicate to you. These thoughts are then formulated by your mind into your language of the flesh, even English. These are all your own words, which describe the impressions and thoughts that we give to you.

We speak or communicate our thoughts to your spirit, your unconscious mind. We frequently transfer our thoughts to you during the day and in your meditative prayers. You always receive these in your conscious mind, as in a similar way that your own thoughts come. You may discern whether these are from yourself or us by asking us in your thoughts or mind. You will immediately sense if they are from us or yourself.

The very words you are now writing are flowing from me, your Father, as thoughts to your unconscious mind, then formulated in your conscious mind as these same thoughts, and then into words that you write in English. It is a smooth flow if you are focused in prayer, in a meditative state before us. These thoughts occupy your entire focus. (There was then a pause)

When there is a pause in our thoughts, like just happened, you wait and spiritually listen until the flow of revelation again comes into your mind and heart. In this way we may gently lead you. We do similarly to all of our beloved children who are in their mortal state. If they ask of us, in the prayer of faith, we will speak to them also. They need to develop the sensitivity and receptive nature that you developed, in order to clearly hear our thoughts and direction.'

I bowed my head in reverence to my Heavenly Mother and Heavenly Father before me! I thanked them in my thoughts which they knew, as clear as any words I may have spoken. Our entire exchange was in our thoughts, which it always is. I use the words "speak" and "said" in my journal, but I do this for the better conveyance of understanding for those who might read my journal someday.

This is all such a natural exchange of thought between my Heavenly Parents and me, that sometimes I think, "Is this really God speaking to me, or am I just making all of this up in my own thoughts and my mind. I then know it is really the gentle flow of revelation to my open and receptive soul. This is all so delicious to me–for I am fed by these revelations from my loving and very real Heavenly Parents! They are so loving, tender and accepting of me, in all of my weaknesses!

I next thanked them for our prayer this morning at Heavenly Mother's glass table. I knew my time in prayer was over for now and that I needed to start my new day. This too was what they wanted. They want to lead me a little bit each day, frequently in prayer and in between when I am involved with mortal living.

It is exactly as the prophet Isaiah wrote:

Isaiah 28:10–

"For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little.""

188K1-188K9: "I came this morning to God's Loving Healing Lake, by the little stream. I drank living water and prayed to my Heavenly Father. He appeared to me and was smiling. I felt enlivened to be before him!

As I gazed upon him, he spoke to my mind: 'Raphael, you had the thought if it was helpful to drink living water often when you pray to us, here on this celestial orb. Living water from our celestial orb does bring clarity and focus to your unconscious mind if you drink it before your prayer. It is not necessary, but it can be helpful. Similarly, partaking of the fruit and the leaf of the tree of life has similar effects on your mind, and also increases the tenderness and love in your heart.

What is the most important, however, is the desire of your heart to be open and humble, and to be determined to do our will. We then may lead you along, even as fast as you are able to change and incrementally grow into the godly man we desire you to become. You progress in this way:

Isaiah 28:10

"For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little."

D&C 98:11-12

"And I give unto you a commandment, that ye shall forsake all evil and cleave unto all good, that ye shall live by every word which proceedeth forth out of the mouth of God.

For he will give unto the faithful line upon line, precept upon precept; and I will try you and prove you herewith."

Your Heavenly Mother explained to you last night that this was even how Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son, grew and eventually received a fulness of us, his Heavenly Parents. The process is called growing grace for grace. It is the same way he grew and each of our elect have grown and will grow into the celestial elect person we desire them to become.

When we give a direction or a command to our children, we watch and see what they do with our words. Some apply themselves, and work diligently in changing their attitudes and actions to fully obey our words. This stretching process, line upon line, gradually shapes them into our faithful son or daughter that we wish them to become. They are gradually perfected and changed. All of our elect who eventually become couple Gods in eternity, must needs follow this same pattern. If they are not open, or desire to stay in any of their ungodly ways, whatever these may be, instead of changing and adapting to our ways, then their general progression comes to a standstill. We work with them and encourage them to drop their old ways. However, they each need to choose and change or they may not progress into our true and faithful servants, and eventually receive a fulness. The choice of becoming celestial, and obeying all the laws and ways of living that celestial beings must do, fully rests with them.

In the end, when all the saints dwell with God (Moroni 8:26), these alone will have been willing and opened to fully change. We will have led them gradually, here a little and there a little, to become new creatures (see Mosiah 27:26), even as we are. This is our great work and effort-to encourage, lead, and prompt them gently along their path to progress and receive eventually a fulness of the power, glory, and stature of an exalted son or daughter of God. It takes great faith and tenacity, steadiness, and determination, and a willingness to change.'

I thanked my glorious and perfected Heavenly Father who stood before me for his teachings this morning. I felt so very uplifted and encouraged!"

The rulers of Jerusalem, in our day, are the governmental and religious leaders in the Salt Lake City/Utah area (equivalent of Jerusalem). Isaiah calls these leaders scornful men that rule the people. It is alarming that the Lord refers to these leaders as scornful. He is talking about the governmental and religious leaders.

This next section is to the leaders, those that rule (probably directed at the political rulers in Salt Lake City who direct the people of the state where so many of Ephraim live). These rulers have made a covenant with death, with the elite of the federal government and corrupt industry leaders as well. They think they can hide under their wickedness and falsehoods, but they can't hide. The Lord will send an overflowing scourge, or desolating sickness to cover the land and destroy these wicked rulers.

Wed, May 15, 2024
The scornful leaders have actually, in secret, made a covenant with death, and with hell are they in agreement. This is secret conspiracy like the gadianton band in the Book of Mormon, and is not known generally to the people until after it is exposed.

152D16-152D19, Heavenly Mother replied: "'Raphael, we accept your covenant, and we will always be next to you.

. . . Great calamities are coming upon the earth this year. The pandemic that is now starting is the great overflowing scourge spoken of in the scriptures (see Isaiah 28:15-19, D&C 45:31-32, given below).

Isaiah 28:15-19

"Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:

Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.

Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.

And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.

From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report."

D&C 45:31-32

"And there shall be men standing in that generation, that shall not pass until they shall see an overflowing scourge; for a desolating sickness shall cover the land.

But my disciples shall stand in holy places, and shall not be moved; but among the wicked, men shall lift up their voices and curse God and die.""

115D5-115D7, from Heavenly Mother, March 17, 209: "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.)"

Tue, Mar 26, 2024
This desolating sickness (may include nuclear sickness) shall cover the land (see D&C 45:31). See below:

123B5-123B9, Heavenly Mother spoke: "'Raphael, there are many plagues and sicknesses that we allow to come forth upon the earth to cleanse the inhabitants of the wicked. However, the specific desolating sickness is one that will affect all people in your land because of the poisonous food and water sources:

D&C 45:31-32 "And there shall be men standing in that generation, that shall not pass until they shall see an overflowing scourge, for a desolating scourge shall cover the land.

But my disciples shall stand in holy places, and shall not be moved, but among the wicked, men shall lift up their voices and curse God and die."

Also Isaiah 28:15 "Because ye have said, we have made a covenant with death, and with hell are at agreement, when the overflowing scourge shall pass through it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehoods have we hid ourselves."

The overflowing scourge is referring to the multiple increased sicknesses and chronic conditions caused directly by GMO foods, high glyphosate, and other poisoning caused from chemicals used to fertilize, kill insects and other pests, and preserve the foods for long shelf life once they are processed and placed in stores and restaurants for people to consume. Every part of the physical body may be affected to cause all manner of severe health issues. People are just now becoming aware of these issues through scientific studies that prove these things. Only by eating clean foods that are organically grown and free from genetic engineering (GMO) will they be able to fully reverse the severe poisoning in their own bodies. Fasting may also help cleanse the body of poisons. Drinking pure water and watching carefully what they consume will be the only way to avoid the overflowing scourge that is sweeping across your own land and the world. There have been powerful companies with conspiring men and women, who have colluded with approving government sources to allow this great evil to secretly come upon the people. Without my light coming forth upon the earth to counter these great pollutions, none of their flesh would be saved:

JS Matthew 1:20–"And except these days should be shortened, there should none of their flesh be saved, but for the elect's sake, according to the covenant, those days shall be shortened." "

Isaiah 28:16
16 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.

Sun, Dec 31, 2023
We have such a great need for personal revelation to guide us, the righteous, in the last days. The cornerstone of our lives should be the rock of revelation and the full reliance upon Christ and God that we have as our core, our foundation.

139D11-139D121, from Heavenly Mother: "Isaiah 28:16, 22-26, 29-

"Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.

...Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the Lord God of hosts a consumption, even determined upon the whole earth.

Give ye ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech.

Doth the plowman plow all day to sow? doth he open and break the clods of his ground?

When he hath made plain the face thereof, doth he not cast abroad the fitches, and scatter the cummin, and cast in the principal wheat and the appointed barley and the rie in their place?

For his God doth instruct him to discretion, and doth teach him.

...This also cometh forth from the Lord of hosts, which is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in working."

The important thing in all learning is to counsel with us, the Heavenly Parents of our children on the earth! We will bring each of our faithful to Jesus Christ who will also guide and bless them, and redeem all who repent of their sins in the humility of their heart. We have all knowledge, and will freely impart of our wisdom and guidance to our faithful who listen to us and then do as we ask.' "

Isaiah 28:17
17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.

Wed, Sep 27, 2023
The hail and flood waters are the people spiritually falling away from their moorings with God, and relying on the arm of flesh. Satan gains great hold on their minds and hearts. See also verse 2 above.

Tue, Mar 26, 2024
The hail and flood of water will also serve to destroy the wicked out of the land. Those who believe all the lies of the governing leaders, including that of the federal and state government leaders, and some of the brainwashing that comes from LDS leaders as well, and the LDS culture--this will all sweep away as the "refuge of lies".

This prophecy also has a spiritual component, not just a physical meaning. The people will find that their spiritual moorings will be turned upside down, and they will become spiritually distraught. There will be nowhere else to hide, and their spiritual world will be turned upside down.

188B5-188B8, from Heavenly Mother: "Once the structure of society breaks down, that our elect are so used to, they will be more prone to change and consider new ways. It will be in these hard times that these, our elect, will truly find a sure foundation, a precious cornerstone:

Isaiah 28:17,23,26,29

"Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.

Give ye ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech.

For his God doth instruct him to discretion, and doth teach him.

This also cometh forth from the Lord of hosts, which is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in working."

The words of Isaiah from Isaiah 28:23-29 speak of how the ancients planted various seeds and harvested their crops. Intertwined in these verses is how we, their Gods, give revelations by our own voice, by the Spirit, to those in their daily lives, and in whatever their occupation might be. In this case, Isaiah used the occupation of the plowman, but whatever this occupation of their time might be in your modern day, the principles of God directing them are the same.

Even as the Nephites opened their hearts to the prayer of Jesus Christ (see 3 Nephi 19:33), so do our faithful elect need to open their minds and hearts to our voice that we will give them. This is the foundation stone in Zion, a precious cornerstone. By this means will we individually guide our believing elect to Zion, one step at a time.' "

143F4-143F8, from Heavenly Father: "Raphael, don't be afraid of the conspiracies and evil data collections in your land. We know of their wicked intentions of controlling the population by their methods of blackmail, manipulation, and subterfuge. These will be stopped short by those who come to destroy your land, and by the natural disasters and convulsions from the earth itself.

Isaiah 28: 17-18

"Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.

And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it. (This means that your secret societies, plans, and hidden agendas from the public places to control the population will all be destroyed by calamity, natural disasters, and the invading armies that will surely come to your land)." (words in parenthesis by Heavenly Father in this and other scripture passages listed today).

Isaiah 1: 7, 28

" Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers."

"And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the Lord shall be consumed."

Once we have the remnants of Israel come and then destroy the power of the invading army, then we will have a land and the wicked cleansed from this our land of promise. Those who remain will be generally open to our promptings, and there will be many who are of our terrestrial elect. This will be just as we wish in order to start rebuilding the land in righteousness.

Isaiah 1: 26-27

"And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning (constitutional law and order will be reestablished in your land): afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city (this includes all the cities of Zion that will be built up throughout the land, including the New Jerusalem).

Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness." "

______________________________

Isaiah 28:18
18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.

Sun, Apr 30, 2023
The evil covenant refers to v.15. The wicked will experience an overflowing scourge (invading army, nuclear sickness and burning, and also desolating sickness) and trodden by it (then destroyed by the invading army if anyone is left).

153I5-153I7, from Heavenly Father: "'Raphael, your Heavenly Mother and I had both told you that your recent visit would be the last time that you would see your mother in the flesh (see post 152D3 and 152I3). Her assisted living home now has eliminated visitors coming, and soon travel restrictions will come in place also. The virus may be transmitted in even small gatherings of people, whether in stores, churches, restaurants and such. There are even many in your state of Utah who unknowingly are affected.

The time has come to stay at home, and only make necessary trips to purchase items, etc. You have much to do around your house, even as you discussed with your wife last night.

Isaiah 28:18-19 is now being fulfilled in your own land:

"And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.

From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report." '"

______________________________

Isaiah 28:19
19 From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report.

170G16-170G30: "Evening-I came to the sealing room in God's temple several times today, to ask for personal strength of patience and loving kindness. My need has all gone away now, and I feel so much better and happy.

There are times when the day after day routine without much change, in this pandemic condition, gets weary and discouraging. I feel at times like the scripture in Isaiah 28:19:

"From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report."

To me, and to others I know, this isolation is very wearisome, and yet we are only 5 ½ months into this pandemic.

I came this evening to the temple of God, to the sealing room where I had been this morning with my Heavenly Parents. My Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother were still both in front of me, smiling! I felt with their daily divine guidance, how could I go wrong? I recommitted to them, as I did this afternoon when I partook of the sacrament. They had said to me then that they would not only send their Spirit to be with me, but that they would also be with me in their very persons throughout my every day.

Heavenly Father then spoke to me: 'Raphael, we will be by your side, and give you much to do during this time of isolation from others. There will never be a lack of activity with purpose in your life. The days, weeks, and months will continue to pass by very quickly, even as the people in your nation continue to divide among themselves. The wicked will continue to fulfill the clever and secret agendas of the enemies of your nation, and the elect will continue to seek to draw closer to us, their Gods. There is a civil war brewing, and sharp divisions between the national political parties in your country that will become very hostile and violent. The foreign communist powers have full control of the democratic party. Their leaders in government are playing into the current reduction of police forces throughout the nation, greatly reducing the resistance of an armed foreign attack. Many local, city, county, and state governments are defunding their police forces which are their only protection against violence and anarchy. This is by design, so that the takeover will be easier to accomplish once the invading troops come.

You have read tonight on the news how the military is becoming divided also. There are communist allies at all government levels and also in the US military that are doing whatever their communist secret leaders are requiring.

In all of this, we will work our miracles for our elect who are close to us and pray to us for direction and protection. We will stand by each one, preserving those whom we have chosen and called.

Heavenly Mother spoke next: 'Raphael, we are pleased when you pray for your loved ones and for their protection. They are each at varying levels of connection with us. We will hear your petitions for them, and will answer your prayers with additional Spirit and blessings upon their heads. However, they each still need to decide on their own whether to accept these blessings and choose to follow the directions we give them. If they reject our counsel, spoken to them by means of our Spirit, and if they are of the elect, they may be buffeted until they learn obedience, even by the things they suffer:

D&C 105:6

"And my people must needs be chastened until they learn obedience, if it must needs be, by the things which they suffer."

I asked my Heavenly Parents whether the vaccine that is currently being developed for COVID-19 would be something we should avoid taking?

Heavenly Mother answered: 'Raphael, those who are developing the supposed vaccines for the COVID-19 virus will not develop any effective vaccine. However, the media and government sources will press on the people to receive these injections, even though those injections have not undergone sufficient testing and evaluations of their effectiveness. This will primarily be a ploy to inject an RFID chip into their bodies, aimed at controlling their actions in the future. Some also have plans for their vaccine to slowly deteriorate the health of those who receive this supposed inoculation. In all cases, the vaccine will not reduce the spread of COVID-19, nor prevent the one receiving the vaccine from contracting the virus. There are several negative side effects from the vaccine also, with the injection of the RFID chip in their bodies as the overall worse result.

Some think that this is the mark of the beast, spoken of in Revelation 13:16-18. However, this scripture refers to an era later, one under the rule of the first beast discussed in that chapter, in the world outside of the promised land.

The RFID chip received by unsuspecting individuals in your country that comes with the vaccine, will be used by the government to control the people. The leaders of the invading armies will use this technology to track, control, and ultimately seek to destroy those who receive it. Many of your government leaders who push the vaccine on the people, work in secret with the leaders of these foreign powers, even now. Their work is in the dark and inspired by Satan. This misinformation on the vaccine will backfire upon those who accept it, and cause them misery in a future day.'

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her timely words and answer. I believe that we will be receiving more pressure to receive the new vaccine in coming days.

I thanked my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother for being with me all the day long. I told them how much I loved them."

Normal nuclear fallout lasts 21 days, which is day by day and night by night vexing the people--if they go outside in the fallout they may die of nuclear sickness in a short while.

The phrase "morning by morning" is also given in 2 Nephi 7:4, and tied to Isaiah chapter 50:4. I believe it refers to John the Beloved who will use his rod to punish the wicked. This will be very much be a vexation for the wicked who turn aside from hearkening to the voice of Jesus Christ. They will need to be cleansed out of the land by John and those whom he directs.

Isaiah 28:20
20 For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on it: and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in it.

Mon, Dec 22, 2014
I believe this means that there will be great privations in the land at this time. There will be food, water and basic goods that will be severely lacking. Also the normal places of repose, security and hiding will be gone, as a man lies down to rest at night but will not find it.

Isaiah 28:21
21 For the Lord shall rise up as in mount Perazim, he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act.

Fri, Mar 22, 2024
The destruction of invading army will be done like in the valley of Gibeon, called the strange act of the Lord when he kills the invading army (Revelation 19).

44H10-44H11, from Heavenly Father: "Q– In 1 Nephi 14:17–"And when the day cometh that the wrath of God is poured out upon the mother of harlots, which is the great and abominable church of all the earth, whose founder is the devil, then, at that day, the work of the Father shall commence, in preparing the way for the fulfilling of his covenants, which he hath made to his people who are of the house of Israel.", is the work of the Father the same as the strange act, and the strange work spoken of in the scriptures?

(see Doctrine and Covenants 101:95 That I may proceed to bring to pass my act, my strange act, and perform my work, my strange work, that men may discern between the righteous and the wicked, saith your God." and

Isaiah 28:21 For the Lord shall rise up as in mount Perazim, he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act.")

A– Yes"

133D7, from Heavenly Father: "This is our great work that we are doing in these last days on the earth! It is called in Isaiah 28:21 our "strange work" and our "strange act." The world will not know of our works except as we reveal it to them, as we have revealed this to you. However, in the future terrestrial world, in the millennial day, all will be revealed in great clarity. Your works and your acts will be revealed to all of our faithful in that day. Your words and revelations, written in the privacy of your personal journal, will one day be revealed before all of God's faithful children. The wicked will never receive them or comprehend our great works we do in these last days.' "

130D9-130D10, from Heavenly Father: "Heavenly Father spoke again: 'Raphael, we will continue to reveal to you more and more of our truths. Those who sustain and support you will also have the privilege to continue to read and ponder our revelations, even as we reveal them to you.

Doubt not our methods, for this is our great work, our strange work and our strange act (Isaiah 28:21).

Isaiah 28:23,26 and 29–"Give ear (oh my people), and hear my voice (that we have revealed to our servant Raphael and others in these last days); hearken, and hear my speech.

...For his God doth instruct him to discretion and doth teach him. (These are great truths to be absorbed and revealed gradually, line upon line, here a little and there a little, even until all has been revealed, according to our discretion).

...This also cometh forth from the Lord of hosts, which is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in working. (We will confirm to our faithful each of our revelations and wonderful counsels that we have revealed to you, Raphael.)" (Emphasis in the parenthesis added by Heavenly Father).' "

142D4-142D16: "Heavenly Father appeared gradually before me, a little above the waters! He was very majestic, filled with light and power. I felt so very glad to be in his presence!

He spoke: 'Raphael, this brings your Mother and I lots of joy to come to you regularly, day by day, and to gradually guide and reveal to you our will! We will lead you to all truth and happiness, as fast as you are able to receive, understand, change and come ready for more. This will be by your own inner desires, and not by fear, guilt or pressure from anyone else. Even as you desire and demonstrate to us, by putting us first in your life, and giving us a little of your priority time, we will gladly respond.

Then will the psalm of David of old be realized in your daily life:

Psalms 23:1-6:

"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever."

Raphael, you have no preconceived idea of what we may share with you, or where we may lead you. You trust in us and yearn to connect to us in open and sincere prayer. This is a highlight of your day, morning and night. You are careful to write and document all that we inspire you, and are careful in sharing what we reveal, even as we have directed you.

As a result we will magnify you as our servant in these last day to help us orchestrate our work, our strange work and strange act (see Isaiah 28:21). We will largely work through you in many things, even as we have planned from the beginning when we chose you to be our fourth son in the spirit. We have appointed and ordained you to be our archangel, our prophet of the Church of the Firstborn, even until Jesus Christ comes in his great glory and power.

Your steady and diligent example will be a model for our elect to follow in their own lives. As they also diligently seek us, their Gods, we will lead them beside the still waters, and restore their soul and enlighten their understandings.

Of all our activities and pleasures, this is the one that brings us the most joy and happiness!

I responded to my Heavenly Father: 'Oh my majestic Heavenly Father, I am so uplifted and feel so loved and accepted by you and my Heavenly Mother! I love and cherish my moments with each of you, as I come into your glorious presence, morning and night. Surely my cup runneth over, and I am filled daily with your light, love, revelations and guidance! My heart ponders on these things I am shown and led to do. I think on ways to please you, and what I might do to become more and more like you, even in my mortal state. I love you both so deeply! You are first in my life!'

Heavenly Father smiled and extended his hands, pulling me up gently from my kneeling position to standing before him.

'Raphael, we both love you too!'

He then pulled me close in a warm embrace. He kissed me on both of my cheeks, and also on my forehead! His light radiated into me and I felt so uplifted and loved.

He then brought me before him, with both of his hands on the sides of my shoulders, and gave me his concluding words:

'Raphael, you are the Branch that is growing out of the Stem of Jesse who is Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son (see your post 54B3-54B8 and 54M3). You are gradually receiving our nourishment and light, and we now fully reveal to you all things, and lead you exactly where we wish you to serve us and to do as we wish. We love you R!'

He then dropped his hands and started going backwards, up into the celestial sky! He was soon gone, and I closed my prayer in the name of Jesus. I then started my new day."

The desolating sickness may include nuclear sickness, biological warfare sickness, or other plague on the land. The Lord asks us to believe that it is really coming, and not to be mockers. The bands made sure are those caused by death I would think.

This is the message of this part of Isaiah chapter 28: "hearken to the voice of the Lord". He gives next an allegory to how he gives revelation to a plowman who sows. There is a lot of detail he gives. For God instructs the plowman to discretion (v. 26). Likewise, we in our day, need to receive revelation in detail and with discretion.

______________________________

Isaiah 28:26
26 For his God doth instruct him to discretion, and doth teach him.

Here is another plea for personal revelation, following the pattern given to the plowman. See my notes in D&C 4:7 about asking for anything that I may need.

Isaiah 28:29
29 This also cometh forth from the Lord of hosts, which is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in working.

Sat, Jul 15, 2023
This is the culminating conclusion of the revelation given to the plowman: the direction from God is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in working. This will be the same for the latter-day faithful servant if we will but heed the word of the Lord.

Isaiah 29:7-10
7 And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all that fight against her and her munition, and that distress her, shall be as a dream of a night vision.

8 It shall even be as when an hungry man dreameth, and, behold, he eateth; but he awaketh, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh; but he awaketh, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul hath appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight against mount Zion.

9 Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry ye out, and cry: they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.

10 For the Lord hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered.

See 2 Nephi 27:3-5: "And all the nations that fight against Zion, and that distress her, shall be as a dream of a night vision; yea, it shall be unto them, even as unto a hungry man which dreameth, and behold he eateth but he awaketh and his soul is empty; or like unto a thirsty man which dreameth, and behold he drinketh but he awaketh and behold he is faint, and his soul hath appetite; yea, even so shall the multitude of all the nations be that fight against Mount Zion.

For behold, all ye that doeth iniquity, stay yourselves and wonder, for ye shall cry out, and cry; yea, ye shall be drunken but not with wine, ye shall stagger but not with strong drink.

For behold, the Lord hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep. For behold, ye have closed your eyes, and ye have rejected the prophets; and your rulers, and the seers hath he covered because of your iniquity."

183K13: "Email from S on 1-16-2021 entitled "Desert Oasis":

"R,

I felt to share this experience from yesterday. I hope you and your family are doing well.

1-16-21 Afternoon

I came to my closet to pray. I felt to come to the desert oasis. I was next standing beside the desert oasis and and looked into the water. I sensed that Heavenly Mother was standing to my left. We both looked into the water together. I could see our reflection clearly. Heavenly Mother spoke to me, 'What do you see?' I responded, 'I see my reflection and your reflection clearly.' Heavenly Mother spoke, 'Because the waters are still, you can see both of us clearly. If the waters were choppy or there were ripples, you wouldn't see a clear reflection. When our children call upon us in quiet reverence, they are able to more clearly discern our spirit and whisperings. It can be more challenging if they are unfocused or rushing about their daily activities with many distractions. You read about Raphael recording our words that the current president would declare martial law, which would lead to civil war and unrest. You wondered if this was true. Look into the waters now, what do you see?'

I looked into the waters and saw scenes appear upon the water's surface. I spoke, 'I see people battling with guns at the capitol, fighting one another.'

She spoke, 'How do you know it is the capitol?' I responded, 'because I see the capitol building in the background where the men and the military are engaged in battle.' Heavenly Mother responded, 'That is correct. You will witness these events unfold for your republic is now being destroyed and will shatter before your eyes. Those who seek to uphold the republic now will be as a man who drinketh while he dreameth and when he awakens, is still thirsty. Or the hungry man who dreameth that he eateth, but he awaketh and is still hungry. Your republic will continue to fall apart until Raphael blows his trumpet while wearing the union crown and holding the celestial American flag. Many patriots will witness this event and cry for joy. The republic that was lost will then begin the process of rebuilding under our direction. Be at peace like this water as these future events come to pass. I bless you with peace amidst the coming turmoil. I leave you these promises and blessings in the name of Jesus Christ.'

I turned to look at Heavenly Mother and thank her for her message. She smiled at me and departed into the sky and was then gone to my view. I closed my prayer.

I just now felt to look up the scripture that was referenced in my prayer. It speaks of those who seek to fight against Zion. I thought it was interesting that Heavenly Mother referenced this to those who seek to uphold the republic at this time when its judgement has already been pronounced.

2 Nephi 27:3 –"And all the nations that fight against Zion, and that distress her, shall be as a dream of a night vision; yea, it shall be unto them, even as unto a hungry man which dreameth, and behold he eateth but he awaketh and his soul is empty; or like unto a thirsty man which dreameth, and behold he drinketh but he awaketh and behold he is faint, and his soul hath appetite; yea, even so shall the multitude of all the nations be that fight against Mount Zion."

Nephi's Book of Mormon record of Isaiah has significant changes at the beginning of the verse compared to the Bible's record. (see Isaiah 29: 7-8)

Your friend, S"

May 15, 2024: I read an article in Epoch News recently "Trump’s Authority as President Was Curtailed Ahead of Jan. 6, Says Former Military Official". I created a PDF of this which is located in my misc folder. This confirms what Heavenly Mother told S above about the country being destroyed.

Isaiah 29:14
14 Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.

Sun, Apr 14, 2024
This marvelous work and a wonder is not confined to the restoration of the gospel only through the prophet Joseph Smith. It includes the latter-day work of restoration of Israel to the New Jerusalem and the terrestrial earth, the building of the celestial temple on the earth, the establishment of the Church of the Firstborn, and the initiation of the waters of separation ordinance necessary for exaltation. It includes the calling and commission of Raphael and John the Beloved in gathering Israel from the great difficulties on the telestial world into a land of peace and millennial rest.

102E7: "Isaiah 29:14-15, 19 (Heavenly Father's comments in parenthesis)

"Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous work among this people, even a marvelous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid. (This verse refers to our great work we are unfolding unto the world even now.)

Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the Lord, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? And who knoweth us? (There are many who have secret plans to do their own work and agendas, but these will all come to naught except those we allow to come forth, or those where we inspire our servants.)

The meek also shall increase their joy in the Lord, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel." (We will build up the meek and humble among you, and use the weak and unlearned and despised to thresh the nations by the power of our Spirit. See also D&C 35:13 and D&C 133:58-59)." '

Both Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother then came closer and extended their hands to me. I stood and they each put their closest arms around my shoulders. We then all three walked, arm in arm, around the desert oasis. I was not privy to what they shared with me in my conscious mind. I hope to learn more about that soon.

I then faded away from this heavenly scene and came back to myself writing in my earthly journal. I closed my prayer and started my new day."

92I4-92I7, from Heavenly Mother: "Isaiah 29:14

"Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous work among this people, even a marvelous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid."

This scripture refers to not only the restoration of the Book of Mormon, but also the restoration of all things, including our Zion, the New Jerusalem, and the restoration the second time of our Church of Christ on the earth. Your role, Raphael, in the restoration of all things is currently happening too, as we reveal to you all things from the beginning. Your wisdom will become great as you continue to age. You may feel some weakness and degrading of your body because of the aging process, but we will continue to strengthen you as we desire. You are one of the old men who will dream dreams and see visions:

Joel 2:28-29

"And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:

And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit."

Raphael, continue to live the life you choose in mortality, and come unto us in prayer twice daily. We will continue to pour out upon you our multiple and abundant revelations! You will continue to be in our holy presence as we reveal to you all things as part of this great restorative work in these last days!'

I felt much better after communing in prayer with my Heavenly Mother this morning. I felt more assured that I am on the course and path that God wants me on! I feel buoyed up in the light my Heavenly Mother has poured out upon me! I feel so blessed."

Isaiah 30:1-3
1 Woe to the rebellious children, saith the Lord, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:

2 That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt!

3 Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.

Isaiah 30:9-11
9 That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the Lord:

10 Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:

11 Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.

67K18-67K22: "Heavenly Mother then asked me to stand and go with them to the high mountaintop, and go into the western skies there. I stood, and soon we were going back in time in the western skies!

Before us was Elijah, the prophet! He had slain a bullock and laid him on the wood. He had four barrels of water poured on the sacrifice once, then twice, and finally three times. The water ran around the altar and filled the trench with water. Then I saw the fire come down to consume the altar, as described in 1 Kings 18:38. This ended the vision. My Heavenly Mother then spoke to me:

'Raphael, there are many similarities between Elijah's day with the priests of Baal, and your day. You are likened to Elijah, and you are coming forth in the Spirit and works of Elijah. The fallen apostles of your day are likened to the false priests and prophets of Baal in Elijah's day. Even though these men who have been ordained as apostles have once been enlightened and once held the priesthood, they are considered before us now as false prophets, for they claim authority and revelation that is no longer available from us.

Your day now is a fulfillment of Isaiah 30:9-11:

"That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the Lord:

Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:

Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us."

These apostles will act more and more in ways prophesied by our servant Isaiah in these verses above. The people will be lulled away into carnal security as well. (2 Nephi 28:21– "And others will he pacify, and lull them away into carnal security, that they will say: All is well in Zion, yea, Zion prospereth, all is well–and thus the devil cheateth their souls and leadeth them away carefully down to hell.")

We have shown you the day of Elijah to fortify you. You too will need to exercise great faith and courage as you challenge the norms of religion in your day. Raphael, we will be next to you continually, so fear not, be of good courage!'

I thanked my Heavenly Parents for bringing me to see this vision of Elijah's sacrifice. I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her words of clarity.

Next I found myself kneeling by my bed. I asked for a clear confirmation of all of this, and felt the peaceful assurance and light from God in my heart that all that I had I written was true! I then closed my prayer and went to bed."

Isaiah 30:15-16
15 For thus saith the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.

16 But ye said, No; for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.

102H7-102H10: "Heavenly Mother spoke to me:

'Raphael, we see the beginning to the end. We have hidden things that we know will happen in scriptures well before they happen. You have been impressed today with words from the scriptures given long ago to Joseph Smith the prophet, about actions we are now doing in your own day. These scriptures are mostly hidden from the eyes of the people. When they are unfolded finally before the world, they will have just been fulfilled or are then being fulfilled.

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."

Such will be the case in your day, for as the events of our strange work, our strange act, begin to occur, then will the people understand the prophecies given in the scriptures. We will continue to reveal to you, by the revelations you receive in prayer, and by my power, even by the power of the Holy Ghost, what will shortly come upon all nations and upon the people.

Stay close to us and we will stay close to you. Keep an open mind and a humble heart and we will continue to pour out revelation upon revelation to you, our servant Raphael.'

I thanked her for her willingness to continue to pour out revelations upon me. I feel so normal however. I never want to draw any attention to myself. I am happy to receive these revelations and ponder them, but do not want to promote my enlightenment to others, saying I received these great things. I love to be part of this great work, however. I will do as God directs me and write down whatever he/she reveals to me. I want to act in quietness and in confidence:

Isaiah 30:15

"For thus saith the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not."

My Heavenly Mother then returned in the beam of light, back over the oasis and into the southern desert. She was then gone from my view. I felt peace and assurance that I am receiving continual guidance from God. I closed my prayer and went to bed."

Sun, Apr 14, 2024
During the calamities it is very important to connect to God in quietness and confidence. Then He will protect us. If we try to flee and ignore Him, our enemies will be swifter. There is great safety in he that waits on the Lord.

Isaiah 30:19-21
19 For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: thou shalt weep no more: he will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when he shall hear it, he will answer thee.

20 And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers:

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.

Sun, Apr 14, 2024
Revelation will be abundant to the righteous. From my notes about Enoch the prophet: "Enoch said that the prophet Isaiah spoke of the experiences they would each have, in Isaiah 30:15 and also verses 20-21: I understood that the teachers that Isaiah referred to were primarily the Gods we worship, either Heavenly Father, Heavenly Mother or Jesus Christ. I believe the Holy Ghost will also guide us with this voice behind us."

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."

187A1-187A11: "Evening-I came tonight to the circling waters, I love to come here, for it is so soothing with the trickling water and the beauty all around! I knelt in front of the bench facing south, and asked for my Heavenly Mother to come to me.

I waited a short time and then I saw her walking down the path by the river. She seemed to take her time as she approached me. I loved to watch her come, for she was so full of light and beauty.

When she came upon the circling waters, right in front of me, she spoke:

'Raphael, your Heavenly Father spoke to you this morning of the general roles of your Heavenly Father and I, and also of Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son, with respect to leading our children on the earth. You have seen that we, who are your Heavenly Parents, are the ones who usually reveal ourselves to you. You rarely visit with Jesus Christ, although we are one with him and all of us have the same purposes, and are united in all we do.

Jesus Christ is the God who will reign in the terrestrial world during the great millennium. Your Father and I reign in the celestial world, which during the millennium will be in the New Jerusalem celestial temple and grounds, plus here on the celestial orb.

When Jesus Christ introduces the Father and I to our elect children, this is a very personal experience. In addition, they will have become clean and pure every whit through the redemption of Jesus. They then are able to enter into our celestial presence, even in our celestial glory and kingdom. We are the Gods in this kingdom, and then speak to them and lead them along, all in our celestial realms. We speak to them in their unconscious minds since this is the part of their mind that may hear us and commune with us in the celestial realms. As mortals, they need to be meditative so as to connect their mortal conscious mind to their immortal and celestial unconscious mind. This is how we have always spoken with them, even before they were sent to the earth.

For those in the telestial world, I have also been chosen for this eternity to be the Holy Ghost (see your post 130F6). I manifest myself to those in this telestial realm, and prompt and guide them. Those who hear my Holy Spirit through the Holy Ghost may receive a witness from me in their mind and heart. I speak differently to our telestial children than I speak to you now. In the telestial realms, I tell you primarily by feelings, whereas in our celestial realms you hear my very words in your unconscious mind.

D&C 8:2. In the telestial realm:

"Yea, behold, I will tell you in your mind, and in your heart, by the Holy Ghost, which shall come upon you and which shall dwell in your heart."

In our celestial realm, we speak to you our directions by our words, accompanied by a confirming witness of peace and assurance. This is how I am speaking to your thoughts in your mind, even now. During your day, my words also come into your thoughts, and help you be directed throughout your day. This is a much more personal and direct way that I may guide you as your Heavenly Mother and as the Holy Ghost, even from my hidden celestial realm, where I dwell.

Isaiah 30:21 In the celestial realm:

"And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left."

You see that your Heavenly Father and I, and Jesus Christ have a different way to communicate with our beloved and receptive children, depending upon the spiritual realm in which they live and communicate to us in. In all of these realms, we share our great love and guidance. As our children come close to our celestial realm, we speak and lead more openly. This is the preferred way we wish to commune with our children. However, they need to qualify to come into our celestial presence by their faith in Christ and their good works and diligent efforts.'

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her clarifications. I said I was so pleased to hear her very words in my mind, and to view her with my celestial spiritual eyes."

177F8-177F12: "Heavenly Mother then spoke: 'Raphael, I will continue to pour out upon you, and upon our faithful elect, my Holy Ghost. My Spirit will comfort you and settle your anxious feelings. Be of good cheer, for we will both be by your side, and will help you navigate through the difficult days ahead. Think on us, and we will be there instantly by your side.

Isaiah 30:19-21

"For the people (our elect) shall dwell in Zion at (the New) Jerusalem: thou shalt weep no more: he (we) will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when he (we) shall hear it, he (we) will answer thee.

And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers:

And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left." (words in parentheses from Heavenly Mother)

I then saw both of them smiling upon me. I felt their abundant light, accompanied by peace and tranquility, come upon me. I felt great comfort in their presence!

I then was immediately in my private room writing this experience. I read the rest of the verses in Isaiah chapter 30, and knew this was spoken by the prophet about our day. I really like the words in verse 15–"in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: (Isaiah 30:15). The entire chapter speaks of Egypt, our United States, and the times we live in.

I humbly closed my prayer today in the name of Jesus Christ, and started another day."

______________________________

Isaiah 30:20-21
20 And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers:

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.

145D17-145D21, from Heavenly Mother: "She smiled and then walked into the pocketed flower wall in front of us! I then heard her voice clearly in my mind:

D&C 38:7–"But behold, verily, verily, I say unto you that mine eyes are upon you. I am in your midst and ye cannot see me."

I felt her close by, but I knew she was in the higher celestial realms, out of my sight. I felt her Spirit however, constantly inside of me, and her whisperings in my mind and heart.

I then thought of these words in Isaiah 30:20-21–"And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the waters of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers.

And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying; This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left."

I then thanked my Heavenly Mother in my mind, and closed my prayer."

152D3-152D13, from Heavenly Father: "You may travel until the restrictions are imposed. Soon it will not be safe to be in large crowds, and people all across your land will be quarantined in order to restrict the spread of the coronavirus. Travel into or from larger cities where there are outbreaks will not be possible.

Soon mail delivery and shipments of all kinds will become restricted, and your society will start to greatly change. People in your land will not have food unless they have stored or grown it, for the delivery of food will also cease. All industry will then soon stop because of the deadly pandemic that will have spread across the land.

Raphael, you are blessed to have in place food and water that you have stored. You will also be able to plant your expanded garden, and grow sufficient fresh produce to feed your family. Your orchard will also produce fruit. You live in the country and will be able to continue living off the land. However, those in cities and towns will experience more difficulties.

During all this time, continue to visit and minister to your neighbors in their need. Your children live close enough that you might also care for them and share with them, but even this will be intermittent.

In a short time after this, internet connection and electric power will be intermittent and then be shut off, for there will be none to operate the power plants, for these workers will be quarantined. You will not have the support or connections you now enjoy with others or the greater outside world. Your lifestyle will greatly change.

I am sharing this with you and those on your email list so they too can make final preparations while they are able.

Continue to write our revelations in your journal, and share them with those on your email list as long as you are able. It is good that you have now a method to send a PDF file with each post so that these may be printed and kept by each one. There will be a time when you only can write our words in your personal journal, for there will be no electricity to run your computer, cell phones, or internet connections.

Your records that you have shared with those on your email list will be sufficient to guide them initially. However, they each need to develop a stronger relationship with us their Gods, and consciously be guided in what we want them to do in their lives and communities. Of all the preparations they could do, spiritual preparations are the most important. Both your Heavenly Mother and I will be by the side of each of our mortal angels and celestial servants who live in the flesh. We will come more and more out of our hiding place and make ourselves known to our terrestrial elect that I have chosen:

Isaiah 30:20-21: "And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers:

And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left." '

My Heavenly Father stopped speaking. He was sober and very compassionate. I felt like he was somehow watching the future struggles of his elect in the soon-to-be changing world we live in.

I thanked him for his forewarning words! I told him I loved him and would keep his commandments, and listen to his counsels always."

159K4-159K12, from Heavenly Father: "Heavenly Father soon stepped out of his higher celestial realm and stood before me! He came in subdued light and immediately spoke to me:

'Raphael, my son, I came here last night in the midst of a sandstorm. The wind had picked up the sand and blown it particularly against your feet and legs as you prayed.

The movement of the blowing sand is very unpredictable. In a moment it could become a fully-fledged sandstorm that cuts into the skin. Your vision then becomes blurred too and you cannot see afar off.

You live in a very unpredictable time in the history of the earth. It will become like the blowing sand–unpredictable and at times debilitating. You will find your greatest safety inside your home during the unpredictable sandstorm that will come repeatedly and frequently upon your world. You don't know when the sands of more calamity will come, but they are now always blowing, even until your land is cleansed of the wicked and the promised land is changed to a terrestrial state. America will be the first of many lands to change, in preparation for the building of Zion upon its surface. Calamity will become therefore more intense for a time upon your land of America and come with more frequency and unpredictability.

If you pray to us, your Heavenly Parents, in faith and diligence, with an open and humble heart, we will protect you and give you knowledge of how to best prepare for the tribulations coming upon your land. We will also be with you in every time of trouble!'

At this moment the wind immediately started blowing fiercely. I had to shut my eyes and wrapped my robe around my legs, for the wind was blowing all around me, biting into my skin!

I tried then to remain at peace, and with my spiritual sense perceive and listen again to my Father who was before me. His calm words of peace came into my mind:

'Raphael, even in the midst of intense calamities coming into your life, if you are still and seek to hear me, you will feel my words and know of my counsel. I will not leave your side!'

Isaiah 30:20-21–

"And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers (these are your spiritual eyes, or your spiritual sense):

And thine ears (these are your spiritual ears, that hear our voice in your mind and heart) 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. (words in parenthesis from my Heavenly Father)"

I then had this scripture come into my mind: Joseph Smith Matthew 1:37-40–

"And whoso treasureth up my word, shall not be deceived, for the Son of Man shall come, and he shall send his angels before him with the great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together the remainder of his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

Now learn a parable of the fig tree—When its branches are yet tender, and it begins to put forth leaves, you know that summer is nigh at hand;

So likewise, mine elect, when they shall see all these things, they shall know that he is near, even at the doors;

But of that day, and hour, no one knoweth; no, not the angels of God in heaven, but my Father only."

Heavenly Father then left and I closed my prayer and started my new week."

Isaiah 30:23-24
23 Then shall he give the rain of thy seed, that thou shalt sow the ground withal; and bread of the increase of the earth, and it shall be fat and plenteous: in that day shall thy cattle feed in large pastures.

24 The oxen likewise and the young asses that ear the ground shall eat clean provender, which hath been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan.

Fri, May 17, 2024
This is the promise of God for those who follow their words and directions given in verses 20-21 above: the land will bear an abundant harvest! See also Joel 2:19 and Joel 3:18 for the promises of abundance for the righteous.

Isaiah 30:25-26
25 And there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every high hill, rivers and streams of waters in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.

26 Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the Lord bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.

Sun, Apr 14, 2024
When the Day of the Lord comes, the towers will fall (the USA), it will be a time of excessive heat, and a time of burning and devouring fire.

Isaiah 30:27-28
27 Behold, the name of the Lord cometh from far, burning with his anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire:

28 And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity: and there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to err.

Fri, May 17, 2024
This refers to the second coming of Jesus Christ, who will come in anger upon the wicked and burn them and all that is telestial up. There will be none to escape his wrath.

Isaiah 30:30-31
30 And the Lord shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and shall shew the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of his anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, and tempest, and hailstones.

31 For through the voice of the Lord shall the Assyrian be beaten down, which smote with a rod.

Fri, May 17, 2024
This is the day of the supper of the Lamb (destruction of invading armies) will be with devouring fire, scattering (internal conflicts in army), with severe weather, all to destroy the telestial wicked on the earth. See Ezekiel 39:17-20. Note that Isaiah says the glorious voice of the Lord will be heard. Maybe this is why the kings, great men, rich men, chief captains, mighty men of the wicked will ask the mountains and rocks to fall on them from the face of the Lamb (see Revelation 6:15-17).

Isaiah 31:1-3
1 Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the Lord!

2 Yet he also is wise, and will bring evil, and will not call back his words: but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and against the help of them that work iniquity.

3 Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When the Lord shall stretch out his hand, both he that helpeth shall fall, and he that is holpen shall fall down, and they all shall fail together.

Tue, Nov 1, 2011
Egypt in this latter-day fulfillment is the USA, so going to Egypt is depending upon the US Government for help. Instead we should look to the Holy One of Israel (Christ) for deliverance. God will rise up against the evildoers in the land, including the government, which shall fail together.

Isaiah 31:8-9
8 Then shall the Assyrian fall with the sword, not of a mighty man; and the sword, not of a mean man, shall devour him: but he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall be discomfited.

9 And he shall pass over to his strong hold for fear, and his princes shall be afraid of the ensign, saith the Lord, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.

Fri, May 17, 2024
The Assyrian army shall be destroyed when he comes against Zion, and against the righteous elect. The Lord will be the fire in Zion.

18 And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places;

Fri, May 17, 2024
Peaceful habitations will be among the righteous elect, in holy places of gathering, while the world is all at war. At one point, America will be sealed off from the world and be at peace.

Isaiah 33:2
2 O Lord, be gracious unto us; we have waited for thee: be thou their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.

184E15-184E20, from Heavenly Mother: "As we were just starting to walk, she spoke to me: 'Raphael, my son, we are happy when you are at peace and not so out of sorts like you were yesterday. There is never anything with which to get upset about, particularly over your views and assumptions of how our prophecies will be fulfilled. It is not wise for our children to sort through their minds and organize sequences of events they imagine will happen. Once it all comes to pass, you will see how senseless such an exercise was. Timelines that some of our children create only generate anxiety and unneeded stress. It is far better to drop all expectations, drop all conjectures, and simply wait on God, trusting in us, that we will fulfill all of our promises.

When you know of our promises and prophecies, those are sufficient to wait upon. You don't know usually know the timing or manner in which our words will be fulfilled. We are creating such experiences for you, our faithful, in order to train and test you, to see if you will simply wait upon our promises in faith. Such experiences, when fulfilled, often create great relief and an increase in faith and trust in us. At all times and in all circumstances, wait patiently upon our words to be fulfilled. You may confirm our words, that they are true, and then wait and trust in us.

Raphael, we will have a people who wait upon us in faith and trust. Then we will be fully able to bring them peace in every time of trouble:

Isaiah 33:2

"O Lord, be gracious unto us, we have waited for thee: be thou their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble."'

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her wonderful counsel! I told her I would simply trust in her and Heavenly Father, and seek to generate the faith required to become as one who waited upon God in all things.

She stopped walking and faced me. She took both of my hands and said she would help me be more trusting in all of their promises and words. She then let go of my hands and moved backwards, fading into her higher celestial realm."

12 And the people shall be as the burnings of lime: as thorns cut up shall they be burned in the fire.

16 He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.

17 Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off.

Fri, May 17, 2024
Half of the Christians who look forward to the second coming of Jesus Christ, many in the LDS church, will fall away according to the parable of the ten virgins (see D&C 45:56-59). The righteous virgins will be counted as saints of the church of the Lamb of God (see 1 Nephi 14:10-12), for they follow the promptings of God. These are they who are wise and not afraid but depend upon the Lord.

Isaiah 33:19-22
19 Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of a deeper speech than thou canst perceive; of a stammering tongue, that thou canst not understand.

20 Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken.

21 But there the glorious Lord will be unto us a place of broad rivers and streams; wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.

22 For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; he will save us.

Fri, May 17, 2024
While armies surround mount Zion in the telestial world, the terrestrial inhabitants of Zion are in peaceful settlements, and the Lord will protect and save them. These two realms are superimposed on one another, but the telestial cannot see or know about the higher, or terrestrial. The invading army are are a people of a deeper speech that we cannot understand, and of a stammering tongue. They are fierce and godless, but pose no threat to the righteous in Zion, in the terrestrial realms.

Isaiah 34:2-6
2 For the indignation of the Lord is upon all nations, and his fury upon all their armies: he hath utterly destroyed them, he hath delivered them to the slaughter.

3 Their slain also shall be cast out, and their stink shall come up out of their carcases, and the mountains shall be melted with their blood.

4 And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree.

5 For my sword shall be bathed in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Idumea, and upon the people of my curse, to judgment.

6 The sword of the Lord is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, and with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams: for the Lord hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Idumea.

Fri, May 17, 2024
This describes the great battle and supper of the Lord when the Lord slays the wicked armies of the nations. They will die and their stink shall be evident (see also Ezekiel 39:11-12). The sword bathed in heaven is the same as in Revelation 19:11-15). The fury of the Lord is described in Ezekiel 38:8.

Isaiah 34:8-10
8 For it is the day of the Lord’s vengeance, and the year of recompences for the controversy of Zion.

9 And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the dust thereof into brimstone, and the land thereof shall become burning pitch.

10 It shall not be quenched night nor day; the smoke thereof shall go up for ever: from generation to generation it shall lie waste; none shall pass through it for ever and ever.

Fri, May 17, 2024
This speaks of the battle of the Lord with fire and burning pitch (see Ezekiel 38:22) which shall rain on the enemies of Zion. This shall all occur in the telestial world which will ultimately be consumed at the Lord's second coming. None will pass through it forever, for it will be burned, removed and return to elemental matter, far away from the earth.

Isaiah 35:1
1 The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.

181I4-181I11: "I came this morning to the forest pool near the pyramid room in God's Loving Healing Center. I felt to commune with my Heavenly Father. I knelt by the edge of the pool and drank living water from my cupped hand. As I looked into the pool I thought I saw Heavenly Father under the water, in an area under the pool somehow. He asked me to come before him. I then intended to go to him and immediately found myself before him standing before him. He put his right arm around my shoulder and we started walking. I had no idea where we were or where we were walking.

Soon we came to a lonely isolated road in the desert. I think we were somewhere in Utah. There was nobody around, and no view of anything man made except for this road.

Heavenly Father stopped and then faced me. He spoke:

'Raphael, this is an isolated road in Utah, and hardly ever has anyone been recently driving on it. The animals who live here have never seen mortal human life. However, the events coming to your nation and the entire world will impact these desert animals and plants, for the earth will transform into a beautiful terrestrial realm. This desert will blossom as the rose!

Isaiah 35:1-10

"The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them (the righteous who come to this land of promise); and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.

It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing, the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the Lord, and the excellency of our God.

Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.

Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompense; he will come and save you (these are our words to our elect during troubled times).

Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.

Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert. (Raphael, this desert shall be flowing with great beauty. Living water in streams and lakes shall abound here, and it will be a beautiful and lovely habitation for our elect who live in the millennial world).

And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes.

And an highway shall be there (this highway will be this same road, transformed into a thoroughfare for the righteous to walk on, to converse with each other, and to pass through their beautiful communities), and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein.

No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there:

And the ransomed of the Lord shall return (these are the ten tribes of the north, the remnants from the south, and our elect we glean from the gentile nations), 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." (words in parentheses from Heavenly Father).

Heavenly Father spoke next: 'Raphael, look now upon this desert road and the surrounding countryside!'

I looked and I perceived we were in an early time in the millennium. The road was refurbished with trees and flowering bushes on its sides. There were beautiful houses and lawns and gardens, and abundant flowers everywhere! There was a stream on the left side of the road with pretty arched bridges over it, connecting walking paths to a local village of Zion. There was a large lake I could also see where the stream apparently came from. The surrounding mountains were looking lush and forested. Many birds were singing, and it was such a beautiful, well kept and gorgeous area!

'Raphael, such areas like this will be all over the promised land and the entire earth in not many years. Think on this beautiful view of Zion, the pure in heart, when you pass through times of hardships in the coming days. We will make this desert blossom as a rose, a beautiful habitation for our faithful and believing elect!'

I thanked my Heavenly Father for bringing me here to Zion! Oh, I longed to be here in my mortal body. However, at this thought I immediately came to my private room, and was writing all of this down in my journal. My vision had ended. I felt great comfort and peace. I closed my prayer and started my new day."

3 Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.

4 Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you.

Sat, Mar 23, 2024
The Lord will presrve the elect in their lands where they lived prior to the second coming of Jesus Christ. After his coming, the elect will return to the homes in their own lands. Those living in the desert areas will have their lands transformed, in the beginning of the terrestrial mortal world of the millennium. Terrestrial living water will be immediately available to the terrestrial earth and its plants, animals and people. The climate will then be greatly moderated, and bloom like the garden of Eden on her surface. This will be the fulfillment of this scripture predicting that the desert will blossom as a rose!

Those living at the beginning of the millennium will have just been caught up in the clouds of heaven with Jesus Christ as he descends to the earth. Then he will reign personally upon the earth in the New Jerusalem, for all to see at various times. He will also occasionally walk the streets of the cities of Zion in the presence of the people over the earth, and come into the homes of the righteous.

Isaiah 35:10
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.

Sun, May 19, 2024
Ransomed includes all those who believe and covenant with the Lord, including the lost tribes. It will be land of joy and gladness.

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 [from] 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."

188D6-188D13: "Raphael, we will do this great work, our strange work, and our act, our strange act, with you being our chosen servant. We will choose our other celestial servants to assist, many of whom are mortal translated beings, and many who are translated and resurrected celestial beings. Our army of supportive leaders will all fulfill our every command in our great work. No unhallowed hand may stop our work!

Our mortal elect who are scattered upon the earth will then hear our voice, the voice of our Spirit, and start to make their way to Zion.

Isaiah 35:10

"And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away."

D&C 101:16-20

"Therefore, let your hearts be comforted concerning Zion; for all flesh is in mine hands; be still and know that I am God.

Zion shall not be moved out of her place, notwithstanding her children are scattered.

They that remain, and are pure in heart, shall return, and come to their inheritances, they and their children, with songs of everlasting joy, to build up the waste places of ZIon-

And all these things that the prophets might be fulfilled."

D&C 45:66-71

"And it shall be called the New Jerusalem, a land of peace, a city of refuge, a place of safety for the saints of the Most High God;

And the glory of the Lord shall be there, and the terror of the Lord also shall be there, insomuch that the wicked will not come unto it, and it shall be called Zion.

And it shall come to pass among the wicked, that every man that will not take his sword against his neighbor must needs flee unto Zion for safety.

And there shall be gathered unto it out of every nation under heaven; and it shall be the only people that shall not be at war one with another.

And it shall be said among the wicked: Let us not go up to battle against Zion, for the inhabitants of Zion are terrible; wherefore we cannot stand.

And it shall come to pass that the righteous shall be gathered out from among all nations, and shall come to Zion, singing with songs of everlasting joy."

Raphael, these great events are at the doors, and will all be fulfilled! My heart thrills at the excitement of establishing the foundations of ZIon through you and our other chosen servants!

Isaiah 52:7-12

"How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!

Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the Lord shall bring again Zion.

Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of (the New) Jerusalem: for the Lord hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem.

The Lord hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.

Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the Lord.

For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight: for the Lord will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your rereward." (comments in parentheses added by Heavenly Mother).'

Heavenly Mother's eyes were so bright and shining, and seemed visionary as she seemed to see the future glory of Zion! I bowed down before her and my Heavenly Father, and acknowledged their great sovereignty and power to do this great thing that would soon come forth. I then felt very enlightened with her light and strength, and then stood upon my feet on the cliff before my Heavenly Parents. I looked upon their beaming faces with great joy and gladness. Oh, how wonderful will be Zion when it comes forth upon the earth."

Isaiah 37:18
18 Of a truth, Lord, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the nations, and their countries,

The ancient kings of Assyria are a type of the modern Assyrian kings and armies. In the latter-day, the modern king (Russia primarily) will lay waste the nations of the earth.

Isaiah 37:33-36
33 Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shields, nor cast a bank against it.

34 By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, saith the Lord.

35 For I will defend this city to save it for mine own sake, and for my servant David’s sake.

36 Then the angel of the Lord went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.

Sun, May 19, 2024
This is a type of the latter-day Assyrian armies that will be destroyed by the Lord as was done anciently in the days of Hezekiah, king of Judah. The Lord will protect modern-day Jerusalem and will not either allow the Assyrian to come into Zion, the terrestrial realm. However, he will allow the Assyrian armies to come into the telestial realm, the wicked in the United States, to destroy the government and spiritual Babylon, even until it is cleansed and much destroyed. The remnant of Jacob will also go through and further destroy until all the wicked are sufficiently eliminated. This will allow the righteous to come to Zion, and to be gathered in, for many will walk to Zion. Any remnants of the wicked will be finally destroyed at the time of Christ's coming by the fire of his burning when he destroys all that is telestial.

Isaiah 38:1
1 In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Set thine house in order: for thou shalt die, and not live.

197I1-197I14: "I have had a restless night, for I was thinking about the separation from my loved ones most of my sleeping time. I can easily give away all my possessions accumulated over my lifetime, but it will take me a while to get used to departing from my remaining children, their spouses, and grandchildren. I believe some of them will come to Zion and some will remain in the telestial world. This is hard to think about!

I am wishing that I could somehow talk to my loving wife about this upcoming event. It will be very difficult for her at first, I am sure. It is truly like we all three suddenly die and are then in a new realm, never to come back to mortality. In reality, the realm we are going to is also another mortal sphere, in the terrestrial world.

I feel somewhat like King Hezekiah must have felt when Isaiah the prophet said he would die.

Isaiah 38:1

"In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Set thine house in order: for thou shalt die, and not live."

I know people die all the time and leave behind their loved ones. I guess my feelings of wanting to stay behind with family members, or to be able to attend family activities in a future day is a yearning most dying people may desire. There is also a great loss in separation that I feel, similar to those who die or those left behind.

I came this morning to the quiet desert oasis. While preparing for my prayer, I read in my post 171A11 to 171A12, and read that I would arrive in my second replicated body in the fall of 2021, and that my wife and son would come at that time with me. I also read in my current post 197G10 that I would arrive from my trek in August 2021. Technically, fall of 2021 begins on September 22, 2021
, three weeks or more after I will arrive from my trek to the New Jerusalem.

I knelt on the shore by the oasis and drank living celestial water. I then prayed for my Heavenly Mother to come to me and help me resolve my concerns of separation and maybe to enlighten me more.

She came in her glory from above the oasis, and descended upon the waters. She then moved towards me on the shore, a little above in the air. She was full of love and compassion, for I could feel this from her spirit. She spoke: 'Raphael, your Father and I set the time of the mortal probation of our beloved children, when they will come to earth and who will come as children to their families. These associations often grow into very loving relationships. Parting of loved ones is difficult. However, it is not a condition that will forever remain that way. Separations and reunions are part of the grand experience our children gain when passing into the various realms we have established.

When your wife, son and you arrive in the New Jerusalem, it will be a glorious experience for each of you. The more difficult experience will be for those you were close to that are left behind in their mortal telestial world. We will have your departure become a motivation for the elect among your family to develop a great desire to come to Zion, the New Jerusalem. Your final parting visit among them will be dramatic for some of them, and will linger in their minds as we prompt them to come to Zion on a trek like you yourself once came.

As for your loving wife, you will spend time in talking to her about controlling her mind, for she will at first greatly miss some of your children and grandchildren, as will you. These types of separations are difficult, but this is necessary when loved ones pass into a different realm. There will be joyful reunions when loved ones meet again.

Raphael, you may talk to your wife a few days before you actually depart with her and A. in September 2021, after fall officially begins. We will tell you your departure date at that time so that you will have a few days to prepare her.

There will be several weeks between your arrival in the New Jerusalem from your trek with the 19 other LDS travelers to your final arrival with your wife and son. This will give you time to prepare a place to dwell with your wife and son in the New Jerusalem city area during its beginning construction phase. You and your family will gain many long lasting friends at that time who will help ease your separation from loved ones that you left behind in the telestial world.

When you arrive with your family at the New Jerusalem in September 2021, the overall health and physical wellbeing of all three of you will greatly increase in strength and vitality. Your brain injured son will quickly find healing and stabilization. This will finally be the blessing of normalcy which you all have been seeking.'

[I read the above this morning on April 26, 2024, now that I have remained in the telestial mortal world for now 2 1/2 years since the promise of going with my wife and son to the New Jerusalem in the terrestrial world. I recently also received a promise from my Heavenly Father that our ___ acre property would be changed from a telestial mortal state to a terrestrial mortal state (see my notes in Genesis 49:26). This has now all occurred, according to the answers to my prayers.

I then wondered this morning whether the blessings of now being in a terrestrial world, that are mentioned in the promise above, of increased strength and vitality, and of the healing of my injured son, would occur soon, for we are now living in a terrestrial realm here on our property. I asked for my Heavenly Father for his enlightenment, and whether this promise would now begin to be fulfilled.

Here is what I felt to write, in my own words but directly from Heavenly Father to my mind, even as I typed this:

"Raphael, your Heavenly Mother and I had extended to you, your wife and your son the promise of increased health, vitality and healing in June 2021. Just before you were to come to the New Jerusalem together with them, you and your wife came before us in the Spirit and asked of us to allow you to stay behind in your telestial mortal world, so that you could help your loved ones in the trials of the last days events leading up to the second coming of Jesus Christ. You would then come to the New Jerusalem after the second coming of Jesus Christ. Your Heavenly Mother and I agreed to allow you to stay behind at that time. This is why you have not come to the New Jerusalem earlier as we had promised you.

Now that your ___ acre property is changed to a terrestrial state, it is in the same state of glory as that of the New Jerusalem where you would have come in September 2021. Your property is, however, not yet all transitioned to this terrestrial state as is the New Jerusalem area. You also are eating and drinking terrestrial food and living water, just as you would have done in the New Jerusalem. Raphael, you also are replicated there in Zion, in your translated celestial being, even while you are living with your family in your home and property.

Your Heavenly Mother and I are very pleased to now extend to you, to your wife and to your son, the same promised blessing of health and strength that your Heavenly Mother gave to you and that you wrote down on Monday, June 21, 2021
in your post 197. All of these promises will be extended to you three while living in your mortal life, prior to the second coming of Jesus Christ! We will extend this great blessing to you gradually over the months ahead. All of these blessing we will give you because of your continued faithfulness to us, your Heavenly Parents!]

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her very comforting words to me this morning! I told her I felt so much better. I also said I received great comfort and assurance from her this morning that all would turn out so well from this full transition to the terrestrial world with my wife and son.

She then came forth, raised me from my knees, and embraced me fully! I felt her deep love, compassion and understanding flow into me. I started crying for joy and then she departed. I closed my prayer in the name of Jesus Christ."

Isaiah 40:1-2
1 Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.

2 Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the Lord’s hand double for all her sins.

Fri, May 10, 2024
This comfort refers to the great blessings of God, in the last days, extended to all of the house of Israel, the elect of God. These will have come out of great trials prior to being gathered and then enlightened by the Spirit of God.

These elect of God will be caught up in the clouds of heaven to meet Jesus Christ, their Redeemer, when he returns to the earth again. They will descend to the new terrestrial earth and enter into the millennial reign of peace with Jesus Christ. The Jerusalem in verse 2 refers to the glorious New Jerusalem. Those who enter through her walls will have their iniquity pardoned. There will be no more warfare on the earth, for this will begin a great era of peace and rest.

146F1-146F16: "After my prayer last night I had a very peaceful feeling! I was feeling so assured that God, my Heavenly Mother and Heavenly Father, were watching over me. I had no inclination to fret or worry about anything, for my confidence and faith in them was great. It was also like I felt a glow of warmth around me, even like a cozy blanket.

I thought of this scripture from Isaiah 40:1

"Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God."

Isaiah 51:3

"For the Lord shall comfort Zion; he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the Lord; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody."

I came this morning to one of my favorite places, to the desert oasis! As I sat on the bench looking over the water and the surrounding sandy desert, I saw accents of beautiful color. These colors looked deeper somehow against the desert backdrop! All was so beautiful to me.

I knelt in front of the bench and prayed to my Heavenly Father, asking in faith that he would come to me. Heavenly Father then immediately appeared in front of me, a little elevated above the sand! He seemed so majestic in his power and strength and yet so tender and loving to me. I particularly love his very deep eternity eyes!

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."

Isaiah 40:4-5
4 Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain:

5 And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.

Mon, Apr 29, 2024
The earth will reel to and fro like a drunken man, and most valleys shall be exalted and mountains and hills made low. See my notes in Isaiah 2:2 and Genesis 49:26 about the everlasting hills. These Utah mountains will not be affected by this shifting and upheavals of the earth as spoken of in this scripture. Instead, the everlasting hills will remain as they are, only changed from a telestial state to a terrestrial state.

109F2-109F11: "Heavenly Father appeared directly in front of me! He was smiling as he usually does and seemed so accepting of me. I say accepting, for they, the Gods, never seem to judge me or correct my behavior, but just seem pleased how I am. This non-judging attitude is so refreshing to me! In turn, I want to act this way towards all others around me.

Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, I want to answer a question from one of those who have emailed you four days ago: Q1: "Raphael, I was listening to a post on the creation this morning. I was wondering when did the earth's continents separate and were no longer one landmass? What caused the land to separate? Q2: Also, what caused the flood during Noah's time? Was he really on the water for a year, and did the water cover the entire earth at that time?"

Here is what your scriptures record: Genesis 10:25: "And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided…"

D&C 133:24: "And the land of Jerusalem and the land of Zion shall be turned back into their own place, and the earth shall be like as it was in the days before it was divided."

The continents used to be all linked together as one landmass. There was a sea east (see Moses 6:42). This was originally east of the Garden of Eden, in the area east of your current continent of North America. There were no other landmasses connected to your current east coast. This sea was the original ocean. It was much smaller than the current wide expanses of oceans.

When Noah and his sons departed the ark, it was 110 years until Peleg was born. It was in his youth that the earth was divided, by breaking up the peoples of the earth into multiple nations. This was after the days of Nimrod who built the Tower of Babel. This was also after the people of Jared were safely across the Atlantic Ocean to the promised land, your land now called America. Many people interpret Genesis 10:25 to be the dividing of the physical continents on the earth's surface, whereas it was really the dividing up of peoples with similar languages that split up into the various lands of the earth. The people were confounded in their languages, so they kept together in large groups and traveled over the earth in search of lands to settle. Before this time, they spoke the same language.

The dividing of the physical continents occurred at the beginning and during the catastrophic worldwide flood. This great division of the surface of the earth into the current continents of your day is what initiated the flood. The sea east was extremely deep and when the earth moved upward under this ocean floor and the single landmass divided quickly, the earth was both completely covered with water in a worldwide flood, and the one continent became seven major continents as the earth is today.

At the beginning of the changes that are to again occur on the earth before the millennium, the continents will again move quickly into one major landmass, with the New Jerusalem at the center of this one continent. This was how it was in the beginning, with the Garden of Eden at the center of this one continent. This future change in the earth's surface will wreak havoc with the nations and peoples of the earth. However, our elect will be protected during this dramatic changing of events. This will be a time when "Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low; and the crooked shall be made straight and the rough places plain." (Isaiah 40:4)

The flood that occurred in the days of Noah completely covered the earth. The account in Genesis chapter 8 is accurate from the time standpoint, showing how long Noah and his family were in the ark. By the time the ark rested on Mt. Ararat, the great upheavals on the earth had become settled and there were no more quaking and catastrophic changes. Mt. Ararat was formed during the great changes on the earth during the flood and used to be a flat plain before the flood.

From this area around Mt. Ararat, Noah and his family populated again the earth. It was soon after the Tower of Babel that I caused the languages of the people to be confounded, except for the brother of Jared and his people who came across the newly formed ocean and landed in the promised land (see Ether 1:33-37). The promised land they came to became a choice land, now separated from all other continents on the earth. I kept it hidden from the knowledge of the other nations that would form, for they would overrun the land, that there would be no place for an inheritance." (see 2 Nephi 1:8).'

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his clear answer to these questions! During my prayer, I felt to look online on my phone and found this website. When I scanned this, I felt this was true, and that God had led me there. He then gave me his revelation as I have recorded. Here is the website.

I then closed my prayer, since Heavenly Father said I needed to begin my day. I told him I loved him."

10 Behold, the Lord God will come with strong hand, and his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.

Sun, Mar 24, 2024
This is a reference to the New Jerusalem, a high mountain in the terrestrial mortal earth. It is here where Jesus Christ will come to reside during the millennium. He will also descend into the Mount of Olives when he descends to the earth, for all the cities of Judah to behold their God. This time, Christ will come with a "strong hand" and with a ruling arm. He will governthe earth from the two world centers of the New Jerusalem and Jerusalem of old.

This is a good description of the whore, and Babylon, by Isaiah. Compare Revelation 18:7 for a better description of the whore which is spoken of in verse 8 above. The things that depart from the whore in verse 9 will occur in one day when either the economic collapse of the dollar or the nuclear attack destroys the land and there is no more revenue from the people.

Isaiah 48:10
10 Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.

185I1-185I15: "While reading one of the scriptures, I referenced, I read this passage in JST Matthew 14:34-35. When speaking of the latter-days, Joseph Smith wrote:

"And his people wrought righteousness, and obtained heaven, and sought for the city of Enoch which God had before taken, separating it from the earth, having reserved it unto the latter days, or the end of the world;

And hath said, and sworn with an oath, that the heavens and the earth should come together; and the sons of God should be tried so as by fire."

I take it, from this scripture, that in these last days heaven and earth should come together, as the great change in the earth to a terrestrial state, and the New Jerusalem temple area to a celestial state. This will truly be a coming together of the heavens and the earth.

In addition, the sons (and daughters) of God living on the earth will be tried so as by fire. Is the process and path of refining and growth that we are now on, actually a trial by fire? I feel it is, and is a growth and refinement by fire. See 3 Nephi 24:3:

"And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them (in the fire) as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord and offering in righteousness."

Also Isaiah 48:10

"Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction."

These were my thoughts this morning before my personal prayer.

I came to the little stream that flows into God's Loving Healing Lake, on the celestial orb. I knelt and drank living water from my cupped hand. I then remained kneeling, and asked for my Heavenly Mother to come.

She appeared across the stream, a little elevated above the ground. She was full of light and great glory. I felt her light and intense love flow into me She spoke: 'Raphael, you are correct that your Heavenly Father and I have agreed to refine our servants, and our celestial elect, by the fire of affliction and the furnace of experience that will bring them to a state of oneness with us, their Father and Mother. We will refine and try them.

These will be our third part of our elect who attain our celestial glory, even as we have revealed to you in the past, during the great millennial day when the earth all becomes a terrestrial sphere (see your post 178C4-178C17). Of this third, they will be chosen by Jesus Christ to enter into our celestial temple at the New Jerusalem to be received into our celestial Church of the Firstborn. They will not die, but will be resurrected to a celestial glory upon their completion of their mortal journey. Those elect who do not obtain this level of oneness with us will die when they have completed their mortal estate.

Zachariah, our prophet, spoke of this separation in the millennium of our celestial elect from the rest of the terrestrial then living on the earth:

Zachariah 13:8-9

"And it shall come to pass, that in all the land (all on the terrestrial earth in the great millennial day), saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein (these are those who will be chosen and will enter the Church of the Firstborn).

And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God." (words in parentheses from Heavenly Mother).

Raphael, you are now being tried and refined as gold and silver. You are doing well in your progress and growth. When you become fully refined, thereby becoming one with us, then "all things (will be yours), whether life or death, or things present, or things to come, all are (yours) and (you) are Christ's, and Christ is God's. And (you) shall overcome all things, (and become one with us, your Gods)" (D&C 76:59-60, words added by Heavenly Mother).

When in this state of oneness with us, whatever we direct or command, then you and our sons or daughters, will act and do, even by our power and authority. We will act through you, our servants, and do our great work on the earth and in heaven. This is where you and our celestial elect are heading, and is our plan for you, our elect sons and daughters!'

I felt Heavenly Mother's light and clarity streaming through me in constant power and enlightenment as she spoke! I felt a great amount of peace and expansion of my mind also. I knew this was my witness from God that her words were true and sure.

In this state I felt I could do "all things through Christ which strengthens me" (Phillipians 4:13). I truly felt one with her! Oh, how I seek to keep her constantly by my side, so I can be continually connected with her, Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ! I so desire to be their celestial servant, to be one with God.

My prayer abruptly ended, and I found myself writing all of this down in my personal journal. I felt so good and happy that I am on the path to become one with God!"

178C13-178C18, from Heavenly Mother: "Heavenly Mother appeared next to me on my right side! She was smiling and so very loving and accepting of me. I had more questions in my mind about the elect who would be living in Zion and during the millennium. I had to shift my mindset a little today, after receiving truths from my Father this morning.

Heavenly Mother spoke to me: 'Raphael, we try and prove our elect whom we have chosen, to see if they will press forward and continue to choose us, their Heavenly Parents. The elect will be saved from your current telestial world, for the entire mortal earth will transition into a higher terrestrial mortal realm. Although Satan and his evil hosts will no longer tempt our elect children who will occupy the earth, there is still much for our children to do to show us that they are valiant and faithful.

If in the course of one's life in the millennium our son or daughter pursues a life of kindness and Christlike love towards others, and diligently seeks to keep our commandments, Jesus Christ will one day accept him/her as a candidate to the Church of the Firstborn. They will then come to you and Oriphiel, whether during their mortal life or after their death as a resurrected individual, and receive the entry ordinance into the Church of the Firstborn. They will then have their calling and election made sure, for their name will be recorded in the Lamb's Book of Life by Oriphiel. They will then receive the remainder of the ordinances of our celestial temple sometime during the millennium. They will move forward with all of our celestial elect to their final exaltation and eternal life.

There will be those in Zion, even during the millennium, who will not press forward in an effort to secure their own eternal salvation. These will not be as valiant in their lives, even though they will be good men and women, and responsible citizens of Zion on the earth. They will enjoy the presence on the earth of our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, but will not pursue a relationship with him nor with us, their Heavenly Parents.

When such a one dies, they will not have proven themselves worthy of the acceptance of Jesus Christ into our celestial church. They will be buried in the earth, and will not resurrect like the celestial upon their death, for they are not yet worthy, or may never become worthy, of a celestial resurrection in the First Resurrection. They will proceed into the terrestrial world of the dead, where they may continue in their pursuit of eternal life. However, there will be many who make no further major efforts towards their progression into the celestial kingdom where God and Christ live.

Raphael, the parable of the wheat and tares is a parable about the transition of our elect into the millennium, or the terrestrial mortal world, (the wheat), or the tares (the telestial wicked). The elect, or the wheat, are saved into garners and protected as they move forward into the higher terrestrial realm on the earth. However, now these elect need to further prove themselves by their actions and diligence in pressing forward towards eternal life in the celestial realms. They need to seek our face, obey our counsels, and fully follow our Spirit that we abundantly shed forth upon them. Of the elect that live during the one thousand year span of the millennium, about one third will become accepted of Jesus Christ and admitted into the Church of the Firstborn and celestial glory, and about two thirds will continue on to a place in their eternal terrestrial glory in eternity. These latter sons and daughters will not show forth enough effort to receive a place in the kingdom of heaven where the faithful persevere and are appointed.'"

Tue, May 21, 2024
This chapter is quoted in 1 Nephi 21. In verse 1, that account adds more information that there is "wickedness of the pastors of my people", even among the LDS people. These pastors include some of our leaders, up and down the leadership positions of the church. We who are broken off and scattered, we are still His people.

Isaiah 49:2
2 And he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand hath he hid me, and made me a polished shaft; in his quiver hath he hid me;

Sat, Jul 20, 2024
A shaft is an arrow. From the 1828 Webster Dictionary, the first definition states: "An arrow; a missile weapon; as the archer and the shaft".

July 20, 2024: I prayed this morning how Heavenly Father will use Raphael like an arrow in his quiver. Here is his response that I was asked to write down as he spoke:

"Raphael, you have been taught my truths, my many revelations that have not yet been revealed to the faithful. These truths are like an quiver full of arrows that, when taught to my elect, will be accompanied by my Holy Spirit, and the more powerful impressions of the Holy Ghost. When the elect pray about these truths, in humility and penitence before me, they will again receive the witness that these are all from me and not from man.

In this way we will reveal all truths to our beloved children who humbly and sincerely seek to know.

Moroni 10:4-5 "And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost.

And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things."

We have revealed these truths to you by our power, and will in turn reveal them afresh to those who sincerely approach us in prayer, even as Moroni exorted them to do in the above scripture.

Isaiah used the words "polished shaft" to denote the great power of the words that we have revealed to you, and which you have written in the Book of Raphael. When one of our elect studies and prays about these truths, our Spirit will pierce him as a polished shaft, and will convince him of their truth, and that they came directly from God. These, our humble elect, all from the House of Israel by lineage or adoption, will then glorify God:

Isaiah 49:3: "And said unto me, Thou art my servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified."

This would have been better written as

"And said unto me, Thou art my servant. From your words will Israel glorify me."

Isaiah 49:3-4
3 And said unto me, Thou art my servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified.

4 Then I said, I have laboured in vain, I have spent my strength for nought, and in vain: yet surely my judgment is with the Lord, and my work with my God.

Sun, Jul 21, 2024
This is a direct reference to Raphael and his mission in the last days to gather Israel. In verse 2 Isaiah states the he will be hid in the shadow of God's hand, and in God's quiver will he hide him.

Compare 2 Nephi 8:16 notes about Raphael being hid: "covered thee in the shadow of mine hand".

Fri, Jul 26, 2024
While studying this verse 4 today, I felt that my Father had something to say about what Isaiah wrote. Here are my F's words that have come into my mind, even while I was in prayer and meditation before him:

"Raphael, there have been times, over the past few years, when you have felt that all of your effort, and those few who helped you to record the Book of Raphael, have been in vain. You wondered why it was still hidden if it were all true. Those four individuals who supported you in your efforts to bring the record to light, all are now infrequently in contact with you about this Book of Raphael. You thought only you were reading or studying it, even if only occasionally. This was a time when you felt that you "laboured in vain, and spent your strength for nought, and in vain". You felt too that you had truly been inspired by me and your Heavenly Mother to write all of these words. You felt that "your judgment is with God". You felt that you were truly enlightened to bring this work forth. You knew God knew that he revealed it to you, but your work was still hidden.

This verse 4 is now fulfilled. You have more recently been diligently studying the scriptures, and reviewing the Book of Raphael. We have continued to pour out upon you our abundant revelations, giving you continually more insights, truths from heaven, and directions for your life. You have become more and more convinced of the great value of the Book of Raphael. This great book is still hidden from the telestial world's inhabitants in which you dwell.

Raphael, this record, the Book of Raphael, is to be read by those who are terrestrial or celestial. It was never intended to be given to those in your fallen world to those who of the telestial who would not understand these truths and reject them.

I will inspire you when to bring it forth and how to make it available, even as I will. My elect, whom I have chosen in these last days, who will come to Zion, will have the opportunity to read and pray about your record, and the abundant truths contained therein. These words from us to you, that you have written, will buoy them up and cause great joy and excitement in their lives, for they love our words of truth and will hearken to all revelations and our commandments. Through my Spirit, and from the Holy Ghost, and from your words that you have written, "shall you be glorious in the eyes of the Lord, and your God shall be your strength." (Isaiah 49:5)."

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his gracious words! I told him that I would wait upon him, and be patient with his timetable, when to bring forth the Book of Raphael. I also felt that which I have written above to be from Heavenly Father and not from me.

Isaiah 49:5-6
5 And now, saith the Lord that formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, Though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the Lord, and my God shall be my strength.

6 And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.

Sun, Jul 28, 2024
This is the mission of Raphael to gather Israel, a light to the Gentiles. His mission will begin even before the second coming, before Israel is all gathered to the New Jerusalem. See my notes in 1 Nephi chapter 21.

I have wondered if Raphael's mission was also started even before he was born on earth. I realize now that he was that angel that spoke to both Nephi and Jacob as recorded in the Book of Mormon. Raphael delivered to them truths about the gathering of Israel in the last days. This is very central to his mission in the flesh. Raphael also was allowed to explain these last days events as an angel of light before he was born in the flesh. This understanding brings me joy and an abundance of the witness of the Spirit.

Sun, Jul 28, 2024
This is another reference to the mission of Raphael and the spiritual gathering he will do in the New Jerusalem celestial temple. The "light thing" stated here and in 1 Nephi 21:6 refers to the "clothed with light for a covering" given in D&C 85:7. This light is given because Raphael is filled with light as an archangel of God who stands in the presence of the Father and the M.

The Isaiah Institute translation states in this verse "It is too small a thing for you to be my servant", not "It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant". I think the latter translation in the KJV of the Bible is more correct, and that "light" should be used, not "small". Light refers to Raphael's status of being an archangel of light, who dwells in the presence of the Father and M.

See also notes in D&C 86:8-11, and particularly in D&C 86:11.

See the note in 1 Nephi 21:13 about Jesus giving the commission to Raphael: "You have been given by ordination the keys of the gathering of our elect along with John the Beloved (see your post 53A14 and 53T7, both references given below.) You have received these keys from Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son, the Prince of Peace. You and John the Beloved both possess the keys of gathering in these last days."

Isaiah 49:8-12
8 Thus saith the Lord, In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee: and I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages;

9 That thou mayest say to the prisoners, Go forth; to them that are in darkness, Shew yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall be in all high places.

10 They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun smite them: for he that hath mercy on them shall lead them, even by the springs of water shall he guide them.

11 And I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways shall be exalted.

12 Behold, these shall come from far: and, lo, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Sinim.

Fri, May 24, 2024
Part of Raphael's mission is to gather Israel, to be the means to establish the everlasting covenant of salvation upon the earth in the Church of the Firstborn. His mission includes to help Israel become established in the terrestrial world at the start of the millennial day of peace and rest. He is involved in the commission of the 144,000 servants who will go and gather the chosen elect of Israel from the telestial earth.

The desolate heritages are the ruins of the telestial world that the elect will inherit and live in at first. The prisoners are those held captive by lack of knowledge of the truth. The prisoners are also physically under subjegation of wicked leaders and occupying armies.

When freed, and led into the terrestrial realm on the earth, the elect of God will no longer hunger nor thirst. Those who trek to Zion will go by mountains. Highways refers in part to the highway in the midst of the great deep that the tribes of Israel traveled upon to arrive at the New Jerusalem (see D&C 133:27).

Verse 12 refers to the gathering of the elect from the four quarters of the earth, primarily from the 144,000 who will bring them to the New Jerusalem and the Church of the Firstborn (see D&C 77:11).

Through Raphael's words given to the hosts of Satan, a portion were converted and came to Jesus Christ, their Redeemer (see posts 62 and 63). These who were saved ultimately numbered in the billions (as of September 2019, there were 1.2 billion refugees of Lucifer that had come to Jesus Christ, and been released from Satan's grasp (see post 136D20)). These were stirred by Raphael's words spoken to them, as an angel of light. This is one of the fulfillments of verses 9-11. The refugees of Lucifer were in prison when they were subjugated to Lucifer and other evil minions, but are not freed, out of darkness, and are protected in "high places" on the celestial orb. They will ultimately come forth in the millennial day for their mortal experience. They will never again be subject to Lucifer or any evil spirits!

15 Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee.

16 Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.

17 Thy children shall make haste; thy destroyers and they that made thee waste shall go forth of thee.

See 1 Nephi 21:13 for additional wording added to this verse. That verse reads "Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; for the feet of those who are in the east shall be established; and break forth into singing, O mountains; for they shall be smitten no more; for the Lord hath comforted his people, and will have mercy upon his afflicted." See my note in 1 Nephi 21:13 for an explanation.

Fri, May 31, 2024
This is the promise of protection and care for the elect from the Lord for Israel. The telestial destroyers will themselves be ultimately destroyed when Jesus comes in the day of the Lord, his second coming.

See my notes in 1 Nephi 21:19-20, as well as my notes in this entire chapter of 1 Nephi 21.

172B1-172B18: "I wondered last night after my prayer if the inhabitants of Zion would wash their clothes, for surely they get dirty. I wondered if they are given two sets of clothes, or how exactly this all works. In our telestial world it is a big effort to wash and dry the clothes we wear, so we have a clean set each day.

I also wondered about overpopulating the area of the New Jerusalem. What happens when there becomes too many people within the walls of this center city of Zion?

I came this morning to the fountain of living water near God's temple on the celestial orb. I drank of living water and felt refreshed and clarified in my mind. I then knelt facing God's temple on the southwest side of the fountain. I pulled up my healing seer stone and gazed upon it with intention to come into the presence of my Heavenly Mother, for I felt I would commune with her this morning.

As I was kneeling, I heard to my right the footsteps of someone coming to me. I turned and my Heavenly Mother was walking around the fountain to a place in front of me! I immediately felt such gladness to be again in her presence.

Heavenly Mother spoke: 'Raphael, you have very good questions in your mind about the clothing of Zion and about her overcrowding. I will answer these today.

Raphael, stand now and walk into the river that represents me to your east.'

I said I would do so. I stood and came to the head of the river that was flowing quickly and walked into the water up to my neck. The temperature was pleasant to my body and, like on earth, the water completely moved on all sides of my body.

Heavenly Mother asked me to now come out of the water and stand in front of her. I came out and then stood in front of her. By the time I was standing I was completely dry again!

'Raphael, our children in Zion will do as you have just done to refresh their bodies and renew their clothing. The properties of the living water will completely immerse all their clothing and touch all of their skin. This will be sufficient to remove all sweat, body odors, stains and dirt from the bodies, the robes, and the undergarments of our elect in the terrestrial world in which they live. The living water will have power to dilute and eliminate all dirt and such that it comes in contact with. Within a few seconds of removing these unwanted elements from their bodies and clothing, the living water will be refreshed again and pure. The unwanted elements will fall out of the water solution and return to the ground under the water, just like they have done for you on our celestial orb when you immersed yourself in the living water of my river.'

I looked upon my angel vestures and they were brilliant, clean and dry. This was such a different way to wash clothes than we do on earth now in our telestial world!

'Raphael, our living water at the New Jerusalem will be terrestrial living water, and will be somewhat different than the celestial living water here. However, the property of cleansing and purifying itself is the same for both celestial and terrestrial living water.

As our living water flows out of the fissure on earth, it will flow in channels to all areas within the New Jerusalem. Our people will have ready access to the flowing living water in that entire area.

From here in the New Jerusalem, this living water will flow under the walls and bridges of the city to the land round about, and gradually the earth outside the city walls will become terrestrial also. The water will continue to flow in rivers from Zion to the north, south, east and west.

The inhabitants of Zion will soon fill the land inside the walls, and be encouraged to venture forth to establish other cities of Zion in the surrounding lands. Then will be fulfilled this scripture in Isaiah:

Isaiah 49:19-20

"For thy waste and thy desolate places, and the land of thy destruction (this is a description of the land of the New Jerusalem immediately after the very large earthquake hits before you will arrive, Raphael, to make it a beautiful place), shall even now be too narrow by reason of the inhabitants, (this means too populated) and they that swallowed thee up (the wicked and the invading armies) shall be far away.

The children which thou shalt have (the inhabitants of Zion), after thou hast lost the other (those who remained among the wicked and did not come to Zion), shall say again in thine ears, "The place is too strait for me (too many people, and the land is being filled so there is not enough land to build a house and have land to grow our own food): give place to me that I may dwell." ' (words in parentheses by Heavenly Mother).

When this happens, you will encourage those in Zion who do not work directly on the temple, the temple square area, and on the city, to migrate out upon the promised land and establish other cities of Zion. Your enemies by this time will be gone, and the living waters will be flowing across the land outside of the New Jerusalem area. The promised land will fill with other terrestrial cities of Zion until the entire land has become a land of Zion.'

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her remarkable answers to my questions! I knew I could ask her anything and she would give me a truthful answer."

139E5-139E24: "Heavenly Father appeared before me from a cloud that suddenly came! He stepped out of the cloud, shining in majesty before me.

He spoke: 'Raphael, I have inspired you to come here to the high mountaintop, facing the eastern, sky which represents looking into a future day.

Just before you prayed to me this morning, you received and read an email from S about a trout dropping near him from the air above. We gave him this experience and our interpretation as he recorded it in his journal. We would like you to insert this in your journal.'

Here is the email received:

"Raphael,

2 months ago, I went to a plant nursery in the mountains near my home to look for fruit trees and nut trees to plant around my house. As I was walking through the nursery looking at trees, I heard a loud thud. I looked around to see what it was, and within a few feet of me there was a large trout that had fallen from the sky. I looked up and there was a clear sky. Upon closer inspection of the fish in front of me, there were talon marks in the fish where an eagle had caught it from a nearby lake a few miles away. I thought it was a very unique experience when it happened but hadn't given it much thought since then.

This morning in prayer, I was taught more about that experience.

10-9-19

In prayer, I called upon my Heavenly Parents. I waited and the image of an eagle at the very top of a tall tree came to my mind. I next saw my Heavenly Parents in the air above the tree, and they were looking down on this eagle. I was directed to come to Their side, and I was next standing beside Them in the air. I noticed the strength and awareness of this eagle. To my mind came the image of the fish that fell from the sky from the clutches of an eagle and landed next to my feet when I was at a plant nursery in Pinetop, AZ several months ago. My Heavenly Parents communed to my mind as if the message was coming from both of Them, "This event that you witnessed of the fish falling from the eagle is symbolic of what will occur in these last days. The eagle represents Satan and our elect who are scattered among all the nations throughout the world are the fish in his powerful grasp. We will cause Our elect, the fish, to be freed from his grasp. The fish fell at your feet. Our elect will fall from the grasp of Satan as nations crumble, and they will come to the feet of Our servants who will be directed by Us to carry or direct these elect to places of safety." The words of Isaiah 49: 24-25 came to my mind, " Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered? But thus saith the Lord, even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children." They continued to speak to me, "This prophesy of Isaiah will soon come to pass as We gather Our elect from the four quarters of the earth. We will save Our elect children from Satan's grasp among all the nations of the world in a miraculous way as Our children turn to Us and exercise their faith in this coming day soon at hand." Their message to me was completed. Next, We began to travel through the air with great speed and then this scene closed before my view and I ended my prayer.

I felt to share this with you twice today, so here it is. Maybe you can let me know your thoughts,

Warmly, S"

'Raphael, I wish now to show you how our elect will be delivered from Satan's grasp in the near future! Come with me into the eastern skies.' I took my Father's hand and together we stepped into the cloud from where he had stepped to me moments earlier.

My Father spoke again: 'Raphael, you will see different scenes across your earth in the near future when Satan's grasp will be entirely loosened from the chosen elect of God. We are causing Lucifer and his hosts to do this because we are elevating the realm around our elect from a telestial sphere to a terrestrial sphere. This change in the local realm will cause Lucifer or any of his evil minions to quickly loosen their grasp on these, our choice children, in their mortal journey. They will not realize that they are in a higher realm at first, but will soon realize Satan's influence has fully departed.

The hosts of hell are able to abide a telestial glory, or realm. Therefore, they may tempt and influence those who live and exist in this realm. However, Satan is not permitted to dwell in the terrestrial realm, for this is contrary to the law of the terrestrial glory. Therefore, by simply elevating the realm around our elect, we may cause Satan to loosen his powers from these choice individuals. They may then be freed to discover their true desires, to hear our voice, and to follow our directions to gather to Zion. This process is figuratively like the eagle dropping the trout from his talons, and the fish landing next to S that he wrote you about.

You have wondered if this is similar to the shields of the Father that we have explained to you previously, that have come upon the elect (see post 69 "The Shields of the Father"). I have caused these shields to come from me to those chosen elects, as the first part of their protection from Satan. It has been about 1 2/3 years since these shields have come upon the faithful. The changing of them from a telestial state to a terrestrial state will be the second and final state of loosening of Satan's grasp in their lives. They will feel then completely free to pursue our words and inspirations we give to them to gather to Zion, the pure in heart.

Our elect who receive both the shields of the Father and this change to a terrestrial glory, will still be able to view all that is happening in the telestial deteriorating world around them. However, they themselves will grow and progress much faster now that they will be elevated to a terrestrial environment around their body and spirit. They will be able, in this state, to move into the millennium without any restriction, for they will already be terrestrial.

I have chosen the elect of God myself and will have the holy angels of God assist me in changing their state from a telestial to a terrestrial state of glory.

Satan will be powerless in influencing them in the flesh, for he will not be able to come close to them. These newly changed terrestrial individuals will still live in the telestial world, but they will themselves be freed from Satan's grasp entirely.

Come now, let us go down to your telestial earth and see these changes in the elect of God that I have chosen!'

Heavenly Father and I then were immediately in several consecutive scenes, in an unseen state. I saw first a woman and her child in their family. These two had been changed to a terrestrial state and did not know it. They became more sensitive to their inner voice, the voice of the Spirit, that God was giving to them.

I saw glimpses of their future lives as they continued living in mortality with their loved ones. They chose to follow God and yet couldn't understand how their other family members were mediocre in their choices, or chose activities or actions that were worldly, or inspired by the adversary. They experienced heartache like I have felt in my own life, by others they loved who chose self centered or evil paths. They came to realize that each one chooses whom they will obey, either God or Satan, or their own natural man self.

I then saw another scene where a couple were both of the elect and elevated to a terrestrial state. I saw their grown children choose ways that were inspired by Satan. These children seemed to allow Satan to subjugate them and control their destiny, for they gave over their agency to the adversary. I saw the parents mourn for their children.

I saw a third scene where the entire family of parents and three children were all changed to a terrestrial state. I saw their family watch as the world, their friends, and most of their extended family, chose to follow the ways of the world.

I saw a fourth scene where an unmarried man was changed, but none of his friends. He slowly departed from their ways, and chose to follow God and the abundant promptings he now was receiving. I saw he was much more able to hear God's voice to his unconscious mind.

I saw too that the 144,000 were also all terrestrial beings who had been entirely freed from Satan's grasp. These ministered eventually to all the elect and brought them to safe places of refuge and to Zion. I saw that in Zion was to be gathered these pure in heart who wanted to follow God and not man.

Heavenly Father then faced me after we had witnessed these scenes in the future.

He spoke: 'Raphael, I have chosen the elect from all of the rest of the world based on how much they have wanted to follow me and have chosen me over the temptations of this world. There is a unique difference in their willingness that I can easily determine with my godly hindsight into their lives up to this time and my godly foresight into their future desires and choices. These are the same individuals that are represented by the wheat in my field that I will gather in safe garners.

They are scattered all over the earth, among all people, nations, cultures and races. We will give to these I have chosen our care and direction, for they will hear the voice of the Spirit and will keep our commandments.'

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his beautiful and very remarkable instruction and visions this morning! I thanked him for revealing all of this to me. I said I loved him and would follow him always. He smiled and the scene vanished."

Isaiah 51:3
3 For the Lord shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the Lord; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.

146F1-146F15: "After my prayer last night I had a very peaceful feeling! I was feeling so assured that God, my Heavenly Mother and Heavenly Father, were watching over me. I had no inclination to fret or worry about anything, for my confidence and faith in them was great. It was also like I felt a glow of warmth around me, even like a cozy blanket.

I thought of this scripture from Isaiah 40:1

"Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God."

Isaiah 51:3

"For the Lord shall comfort Zion; he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the Lord; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody."

I came this morning to one of my favorite places, to the desert oasis! As I sat on the bench looking over the water and the surrounding sandy desert, I saw accents of beautiful color. These colors looked deeper somehow against the desert backdrop! All was so beautiful to me.

I knelt in front of the bench and prayed to my Heavenly Father, asking in faith that he would come to me. Heavenly Father then immediately appeared in front of me, a little elevated above the sand! He seemed so majestic in his power and strength and yet so tender and loving to me. I particularly love his very deep eternity eyes!

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."

See my notes in Moses 3:8 explaining that the ancient land of Eden is now where the New Jerusalem celestial realm is located. It was a wilderness and a waste place, all covered with terrestrial waters before the island of the New Jerusalem was created by Raphael by the power of God.

There will be a righteous elect upon the land, awaiting and receiving direction from the Lord. There will be wicked in the land to destroy them, and an invading army to ravish the land. However, the wicked will be destroyed like a garment eaten by the worm or moth. We who are there are to awake and put on the power of the priesthood (see Micah 4:10-13, Isa 10:24-27, 32-34, D&C 113:7-8). Apparently the priesthood power taken against the invading army (beast and its allies) will initiate the anger of the Lord in their destruction (Micah 5:15, Rev 19:15, Joel 2:17-21).

See my notes in D&C 113:7-8 and Isaiah 52:1

Sun, Jun 2, 2024
This refers to the return of 10 tribes, the ransomed and redeemed, full of singing. It also refers to all of the elect who make their way to the New Jerusalem and surrounding lands. It will be a joyous event to come to Zion, where there is peace and great joy.

3 For thus saith the Lord, Ye have sold yourselves for nought; and ye shall be redeemed without money.

Sat, Nov 18, 2023
This is the call to put on power of the priesthood, see D&C 113. This verse has specific reference to Zion in America when power in the priesthood is needed.

102I1-102I11: "I knelt next to the river looking over the waterfall to my left side. I asked for my Heavenly Parents to come. Then, from my right, Heavenly Father walked up to me! He was smiling and filled with light. He seemed very accepting of me. He stretched out one arm over the waterfall and spoke:

'Raphael, just as this water will continue to descend over the edge of this cliff, so surely shall our works continue, worlds without end. We are eternal and endless (see D&C 19:10 "For behold, the mystery of godliness, how great is it! For behold, I am endless…"). Our works never end, but roll forth as steady as this waterfall.

One of the scriptures that you sought for last night that has been hidden from the view of our people and that has just been fulfilled is found in D&C 113:7-8:

"Questions by Elias Higbee: What is meant by the command in Isaiah, 52d chapter, 1st verse, which saith: Put on thy strength, O Zion--and what people had Isaiah reference to?

He had reference to those whom God should call in the last days, who should hold the power of priesthood to bring again Zion, and the redemption of Israel; and to put on her strength is to put on the authority of the priesthood, which she, Zion, has a right to by lineage; also to return to that power which she had lost."

Zion had temporarily been established by this latter-day church, established by Joseph Smith in 1830. However, only recently the leaders have rejected me, so I have rejected them. Their priesthood and keys have been taken or lost, as spoken of in the end of verse 8. This is not referring to the dark ages after the first Church of Christ was established shortly after Jesus' death and resurrection, but it refers to the second Church of Christ established by Joseph Smith, Jun.

In a short time, your Heavenly Mother, Jesus Christ our Beloved Son, and I will call upon others to establish again our Church of Christ, the third time. Her role will, in part, be to gather Israel. Her strength will be the power and authority of my priesthood, which the second Church of Christ has already lost.

The proclamation of my Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, as recorded in D&C 124:32, that the church would be rejected, with their dead, was fulfilled because the people would not do as he stated. He stated in D&C 124:34 that their "baptisms would not be acceptable unto me." That too has been fulfilled in deed, after the current church leaders rejected our purposes and would not receive that which we wanted to reveal to the church, even that of the office of high priestess.

It will be through this third Church of Christ that we will have my priesthood power restored to the earth. This is what Isaiah had reference to in Isaiah 52:1-3:

"Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean.

Shake thyself from the dust; arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion.

For thus saith the Lord, Ye have sold yourselves for nought; and ye shall be redeemed without money."

Isaiah had reference to these times you live in. The men of my people need to shake themselves from the dust, to arise and sit down. This means to open their hearts and minds to the fact that the priesthood and keys have been removed from the general level leadership of the second Church of Christ, even the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They need to accept the establishment of the new third Church of Christ, and the priesthood power that will be reestablished through their priesthood power, becoming awake to my power that I will show through them.

This priesthood power has been removed from the leaders of the second Church of Christ, for the apostles have truly fallen asleep as described in D&C 86:2-3, giving way for Satan to sit and reign in this now defunct second Church of Christ:

D&C 86:2-3 (Heavenly Father's comments in parenthesis)–

"Behold, verily I say, the field was the world, and the apostles were the sowers of the seed;

And after they (the apostles in your current day) have fallen asleep the great persecutor of the church, the apostate, the whore, even Babylon, that maketh all nations to drink of her cup, in whose hearts the enemy, even Satan, sitteth to reign (Satan now controls the second Church of Christ through his false prophets and apostles, for they have fallen asleep and have been cut off from my revelations)--behold he (Satan, even Lucifer) soweth the tares; wherefore, the tares choke the wheat and drive the church into the wilderness (the church is now without direction from God, akin to being driven by Satan into the wilderness)."

See also D&C 86:8-11, for this refers also to your day when the men in this second Church of Christ and others who accept me, are called again to shoulder my priesthood in my full strength and power:

D&C 86:8-11 (comments by Heavenly Father in parenthesis)–

"Therefore, thus saith the Lord unto you, with whom the priesthood hath continued through the lineage of your fathers–(these are the honorable and good men of my second Church of Christ whose priesthood has remained, but their keys they had exercised in the church have been taken because the keys of their leaders had been removed.)

For ye are lawful heirs, according to the flesh, and have been hid from the world with Christ in God--(these good men are lawful heirs, for I have foreordained them in their premortal state to receive and exercise the full power of my priesthood on the earth in their flesh).

Therefore your life and the priesthood have remained (speaking to these good men that I have foreordained), and must needs remain through you and your lineage until the restoration of all things (this is now beginning to fully happen, and will culminate with the reestablishment of my third Church of Christ and the Church of the Firstborn spoken by the mouths of all the holy prophets since the world began.

Therefore, blessed are ye if ye continue in my goodness (if these men do not lose their priesthood power, see D&C 121:34-46), a light unto the Gentiles, and through this priesthood, a savior unto my people Israel. The Lord had said it. Amen."

Raphael, it is now time for the good men in the second Church of Christ to receive my true revelations and to exercise their priesthood power as my Beloved Son, Jesus Christ and I will show them! They need to put on their beautiful garments (Isaiah 52:1) of the priesthood, even of my eternal power, given to me by ordination, even back to my first parent Gods. These will be the ones through whom we restore Israel and establish again the third and final Church of Christ on the earth. Our angels and servants we have called will assist them. My power will be poured out upon all who seek us in prayer and by their good deeds:

D&C 121:33 (comments by Heavenly Father in parenthesis)

"How long can rolling waters remain impure? (This refers to this celestial waterfall, the ultimate rolling waters). What power shall stay the heavens? As well might man stretch forth his puny arm to stop the Missouri river in its decreed course, or to turn it up stream, (as opposed to my stretched out arm over this waterfall, which power is in me and my priesthood, my godly power) as to hinder the Almighty (refers to me, the Father of all) from pouring down knowledge from heaven upon the heads of the Latter-day Saints. (This promise is still active, for I will pour down revelation to the humble and open who will obey my words and keep my commandments.)"'

My Father lowered his arm. He stood in great majesty, power, and glory! He then was enshrouded with a cloud of light, even with lightning that came from the cloud! He was within the cloud, no longer visible when there was a huge flash of light and great thunder! The cloud and Heavenly Father vanished! I had seen the great strength of God, in his majesty and power!

I thanked my Heavenly Father in my mind for his amazing revelations to me today. I committed to exercise my priesthood in humility and strength, even as he would direct me. I then closed my interchange in the name of Jesus Christ, his Beloved Son. I was immediately back in my adjacent room writing all of this down as it all happened."

Isaiah 52:7-12
7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!

8 Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the Lord shall bring again Zion.

9 Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem: for the Lord hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem.

10 The Lord hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.

11 Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the Lord.

12 For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight: for the Lord will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your rearward.

188D11-188D14, from Heavenly Mother: "Raphael, these great events are at the doors, and will all be fulfilled! My heart thrills at the excitement of establishing the foundations of ZIon through you and our other chosen servants!

Isaiah 52:7-12

"How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!

Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the Lord shall bring again Zion.

Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of (the New) Jerusalem: for the Lord hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem.

The Lord hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.

Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that hear the vessels of the Lord.

For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight: for the Lord will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your rereward." (comments in parentheses added by Heavenly Mother).'

Heavenly Mother's eyes were so bright and shining, and seemed visionary as she seemed to see the future glory of Zion! I bowed down before her and my Heavenly Father, and acknowledged their great sovereignty and power to do this great thing that would soon come forth. I then felt very enlightened with her light and strength, and then stood upon my feet on the cliff before my Heavenly Parents. I looked upon their beaming faces with great joy and gladness. Oh, how wonderful will be Zion when it comes forth upon the earth.

My vision then suddenly stopped, and I focused myself writing all of this in my private room on earth. I felt such peace and anticipation to be in Zion! I confirmed that this was all true, and feel so blessed and humbled to take part in the establishment of Zion. What a glorious future we all have!"

Isaiah 52:8
8 Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the Lord shall bring again Zion.

198I7, from S: "Raphael, I read last night your entry from the previous night regarding the watchmen referred to by Isaiah. I went to pray asking for further light and understanding. Here is the record from my journal.

7/1/21 PM

Tonight I read Raphael's entry from last night about the scriptures referring to the watchmen lifting up their voice and seeing eye to eye when the Lord brings forth Zion.

In prayer, I called upon Heavenly Father for I felt he would speak with me tonight. I came to meet him on top of the future wall surrounding the New Jerusalem. Heavenly Father was there, dressed in white robes. He stood in front of me and we looked down towards the ground from the raised wall.

I asked Heavenly Father why there would be walls surrounding Zion if it is in a terrestrial realm and protected from the wicked in the telestial realm.

Heavenly Father spoke, 'There will be many of our children who will live a law consistent with the terrestrial kingdom, but who are not yet prepared for Zion. The inhabitants of Zion live a higher law that pertains to their testimony of Jesus and obedience to higher laws. Joseph Smith recorded that there would be inhabitants on the earth during the millennium that would not join Christ's church, but they would follow the laws of a terrestrial realm. In order for our children to enter the walls of the New Jerusalem, they must live according to our higher laws.'

The phrase "for they shall see eye to eye" in Isaiah 52:8 came to my mind. I asked Heavenly Father what this pertained to or what it meant.

Heavenly Father spoke, 'As a watchman, you shall stand guard at the gate entering into the New Jerusalem. You will look into the eyes of those who will enter. The eyes are the doorway to the soul of men and women. We will bless you with our Godly gift to perceive the faithfulness and readiness of each individual to enter into Zion. Both you and the person being evaluated will know the answer together by the spirit whether they are prepared to enter or not. Some will not be permitted to enter at first, but may enter with time, preparation and a change within their being or soul. Your role, along with all the other watchmen or guards, is symbolic of the person's standing before God. The scripture in D&C 76: 94 is representative of this future interaction they may one day have with us their Gods, "and they see as they are seen, and know as they are known." This interaction for entry into the walls of the New Jerusalem is preparatory in the same way the temple prepares our children for future events.

This is sufficient information for tonight. Record my words and share them in the morning with Raphael.'

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his message and closed my prayer.

After I recorded this prayer, I pondered if all who enter Zion would need to commune with a guard before entry. Heavenly Father spoke to my mind, 'It is needful for each future inhabitant of the New Jerusalem or Zion community to have this interaction with a guard prior to entry.'"

133E2-133E11: "In Adam's day, at the beginning of the earth when God's children came forth, many chose to follow Satan. In the millennial day, he will be bound. In Adam's day, many chose to be carnal, sensual and devilish, and they loved Satan more than God (see Moses 5:12-15). I look forward to the great day of the millennium when Satan and all his evil hosts are bound and no longer may tempt the children of Adam and Eve. Then all will follow Jesus Christ, and become members of the Church of Christ. There will be openness, and truth will abound. All will see eye to eye when the Lord brings again Zion! (Isaiah 52:8).

I then came to the water's edge and knelt at the shore of the desert oasis. I drank of the living water there with my cupped hand. I looked out over the water and prayed for my Heavenly Parents, or one to come to me. I kept looking for God to come.

Heavenly Father then appeared before me, standing over the water! He was bright and smiling. He was full of truth and knowledge, for this seemed to shine forth from his being, just like emotions of love and acceptance. He spoke:

'Raphael, what you have written in your personal journal about the great millennial day this morning is true! Our children on the terrestrial earth will all worship Jesus Christ, your Heavenly Mother and me at that day. None will be lost, just like occurred shortly after Jesus Christ came among the Nephite nation:

4 Nephi 1:2-3: " And it came to pass in the thirty and sixth year, the people were all converted unto the Lord, upon all the face of the land, both Nephites and Lamanites, and there were no contentions and disputations among them, and every man did deal justly one with another.

And they had all things common among them; therefore there were not rich and poor, bond and free, but they were all made free, and partakers of the heavenly gift."

For the Nephites and the Lamanites, they followed the gospel teachings for nearly two hundred years, even with Satan trying to tempt them and lead them astray. In the nearly thousand years of the millennium, the people will also choose us their Gods. They will have no desires to contend or dispute with each other, for all will be made free and will be partakers of the heavenly gifts provided by Jesus Christ, their Great Redeemer. They too will have all things in common even as did the Nephites during this righteous era.

We will still judge our sons and daughters who live, based on their actions and the desires of their hearts. In their case, during the millennium, they will all choose us their Gods, and all be made partakers of the heavenly gifts of God. When they have been proven by their life-long diligence to us, then Jesus Christ will accept them into his Church of the Firstborn. You will then receive them into this celestial church with Oriphiel, in the New Jerusalem temple. Our holy angels will administer to them the ordinances of eternal life also in that temple. Great will be the outpourings of truth and light upon our people in that day, for they will all choose us their Gods!

Raphael, look now into the waters of this dessert oasis.'

I then looked into the crystal clear waters of the oasis. I could see the entire bottom of the large pool of water, with the light that shone from my Heavenly Father and because of the exceptional clarity of the water. It was like the water wasn't even there, and like it was only a depression in the land!

Heavenly Father spoke again–'In the great millennial day, our elect who dwell on the earth will be receptive, clear and even transparent, allowing our Holy Spirit and Holy Ghost to illuminate them, to fill them, and even pass through them as you have experienced. They will be like these crystal clear waters in this desert oasis. Our holy light will enlighten them and we will lead them to all our truths, for all things will be revealed to our children in that day. How can we withhold from them the truths of God and of the universe if they accept all and are eager to receive more?'

I thanked my loving Heavenly Father for his remarkable truths he shared with me today! I feel so blessed to have received the promise to labor for these choice sons and daughters during the entire millennial day!

Oh how I yearn to be free of the shackles of wickedness that grip this world I now live in! I feel I think like God feels–ready and eager to clear out the bad so that the good may grow (Jacob 5:65-66). I know God has all in control, and will remove the wicked after they are each proven, so that this great millennial day will come!"

Sun, May 12, 2024
See also my notes in 3 Nephi 16:17-20 near the end which quotes Isaiah 52: 6-10.

198G11-198G12, from Heavenly Father: "He spoke: 'I would like to address the words of Isaiah that my Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, spoke to the Nephite people found in 3 Nephi 16: 17-20. I will read these words of Isaiah found in Isaiah 52: 6-10, starting two verses earlier than quoted by Jesus. I will add my comments to these verses.

Isaiah 52: 6-10 (see also 3 Nephi 16: 18-20):

v6. "Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I. (Raphael, our elect hear our voice and obey our promptings. They will pray for an escape from the hardships and oppressions they will experience in their fallen telestial world (see Isaiah 52: 5, the previous verse). In their distress they will begin to hear my voice, and the voice of Heavenly Mother through the Holy Ghost. They will know that it is God who speaks to them in that day. We will then speak peace to them, and prompt them to come to Zion, where there is peace, safety, and protection. They will then yearn to come there. Groups of them will embark on a journey to that holy place, and we will inspire them to walk in the correct direction. For those who cannot travel by foot, or who are sick or afflicted, we will send our servants to transport them to Zion.)

v7. How beautiful upon the mountains (Zion, the New Jerusalem, will be a large hill or even called a mountain on an island, even in the central part of the barren land of promise. It will be the most elevated place in the land of promise) are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth! (Raphael, this refers to two of our servants who have built up this waste place on the barren land and great deep. One of these is you, our Branch! You have been given by ordination the keys of the gathering of our elect along with John the Beloved (see your post 53A14, 53T7). You have received these keys from Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son, the Prince of Peace. You and John the Beloved both possess the keys of gathering in these last days. The feet of him that publisheth peace, that bringeth good tidings, that publishes salvation are both the feet of you, Raphael, and John the Beloved. The salvation you both will publish is that given by Jesus Christ. You will both be our main leaders in our New Jerusalem and will gather our elect to come there, through many of our angels and other celestial and terrestrial servants. The great beauty of the hill of Zion, the mountain of the New Jerusalem, will be the result of you and John acting upon our revelations. Through both of you, this island of the New Jerusalem will become completed, ready for her great Redeemer, Jesus Christ to one day come. Oh, how beautiful our New Jerusalem will be! There is both a celestial realm where our holy celestial temple is located and the terrestrial city and outlying terrestrial farmlands. All of the celestial areas will be like unto our celestial orb, the residence of God, and all of the terrestrial will be like a garden of Eden, in paradisiacal glory. This will be such a beautiful place for our weary elect to come to at the end of their journeys!)

v8. Thy watchmen (these are those who [are] allow[ed] entrance into the island paradise of the New Jerusalem. Gideon (S), our captain of the guard, is their leader. He and those at the future gates of Zion, and in all of her cities, will rejoice together, and like the other inhabitants of Zion, will see eye to eye) shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the Lord shall bring again Zion.

v9. Break forth into joy; sing together, ye waste places of (the New) Jerusalem: for the Lord hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed (the New) Jerusalem. (Raphael, the watchmen shall join with the inhabitants of the New Jerusalem, and sing anthems of praise to us, their Gods, for comforting them, and for redeeming and rescuing them from Babylon and the telestial world. Oh, how happy all of the inhabitants of Zion shall be!).

v10. The Lord hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God." (The nations refer to the many multitudes of our elect who will flee to Zion in our terrestrial world. These people, eventually from all nations, will see the great salvation, protection, glory and beauty of the New Jerusalem and the cities of Zion. For these, the arm of the Lord will be made bare, or be very powerful.)"

176A2-176A5, from Heavenly Mother: "She immediately spoke: 'Raphael, my son, yesterday you noticed in your goldfish pond that the water was very clear. This came about because the charred wood from the recent fire fell into the pond and absorbed the algae and particulates in the water that had made it cloudy.

Similarly, our elect children will soon experience trials in their lives that will refine them like fire. However, when completed, they will be able to see more clearly spiritual things, and will be receptive to my Spirit, even to the influence of the Holy Ghost in their lives. These trials will prepare them to accept our higher laws of Zion, and our love for all men and women that we will shed upon them.

This transformation will be necessary for them to enter into the New Jerusalem. What joy they will experience to finally be home with others who are similarly pure in heart, and love them also!

In that day shall be fulfilled the words of Isaiah:

Isaiah 52:6-12

"Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I.

How beautiful upon the mountains (mountains refers to the center of the land of promise, the head of the nations. Nations also refer to mountains), even the island of the New Jerusalem that shall rise up out of the water) are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!

Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the Lord shall bring again Zion.

Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste place of (the New) Jerusalem (the waste places refers to the great devastation and flooding upon the land from which the island city of the New Jerusalem shall arise): for the Lord hath comforted his people, (this refers to my Holy Ghost which shall come upon my elect and fill them with the love of God, upon all who enter into Zion) he hath redeemed Jerusalem (by the grace of Jesus Christ, the great Redeemer of the elect).

The Lord hath made bare his holy arm (the great power of God) in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation (the spiritual and temporal salvation in rescuing our people) of our God.

Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her (Babylon, or from among the wicked); be ye clean, that bear the vessels (or are fitted with the Spirit of God) of the Lord.

For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight: for the Lord will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your rearward (we, the Gods of our elect children, will fully guard and protect them as they travel to Zion, even though there will be hardships and trials that will refine them)." (words in parentheses from Heavenly Mother)."

130C11-130C16: "In the terrestrial millennial day, all of our children will know us, for Satan will be bound and their minds will be clarified to a terrestrial level of understanding and vision. They will see eye to eye, when we establish again Zion, the pure in heart.

Isaiah 52:6-8

"Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I.

How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, They God reigneth!

Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the Lord shall bring again Zion."

My Heavenly Mother then spoke: 'Raphael not only will our people know us, their Heavenly Parents, and their Lord and Redeemer, Jesus Christ, but our people will be filled with love and acceptance for all. Husbands will love their wives, and the wives love their husbands, and both will love and care for their children in their families, even to an abundance! Sin will flee from the hearts of our people, and Zion will flourish for a thousand years. Great peace and happiness will characterize our people, who are our elect sons and daughters. What a lovely world this will be!

Your Heavenly Father and I will frequently come among our children, mingling with them in their houses and lands. We will be ever present in our celestial New Jerusalem area where you and our holy angels will work for the salvation of our celestial children. All will know us, from the least to the greatest. The earth will be filled with peaceful settlements and communities. Our light and love will enter into all the hearts and minds of our faithful in that day. What a wonderful day this will be!'

I then saw in vision these peaceful lands and homes of the saints of God! I saw how beautiful the sons and daughters of God were who lived in that future day! I longed to be there, to mingle with them, to talk with them in their homes, to play with their children in their yards, to feel of their love and enjoyment for life! I yearned to meet with them in their worship time, in their homes and meeting places in their communities. There was such an outpouring of the Holy Spirit that I was brought to tears! Oh, I want to be there!

Heavenly Mother spoke: 'Raphael, you will be there, but for now, you must mingle with our children who cannot see or feel, for they live in such a darkened telestial world. Extend our love to all, particularly to your wife, children and loved ones. Be accepting of all, and let our light and love shine forth from you to each one. Zion will be established by the pure in heart who love and accept one another, from the least unto the greatest!'"

198H2-198H10: "I received a very uplifting email from S about the New Jerusalem construction and his upcoming trek with S to the New Jerusalem. I will include it after S's email that she wrote to me (these are both above). This is all true, for I have felt the confirmation from the Spirit of God.

Both S.A. and S in their emails said that they saw the fountain of living water sending forth its living water high into the air. I believe that currently this fountain is filled with water and is still, for the four rivers now have their gravity sideways just before they come to the mighty river. This is because living water does not yet flow into the mighty river. Once it does, then the water flow from the fountain of living water will greatly increase, and freely shoot up into the air, and living water will flow out to all the terrestrial earth.

I also know that there are great multitudes around the fountain for the tours. When I attempt to come here for my prayer, I see the crowds and go somewhere else which is secluded.

I came this morning in the future, after the temple dedication, to the fountain of living water at the New Jerusalem. There were no longer crowds from the many tours, and the living water was shooting up into the air. I knelt and asked for my Heavenly Mother to come to me.

She immediately came to my side and spoke: 'Raphael, both S.A. and S came to this same fountain of living water in the near future, even after the first temple dedication later this month. The water will be by then be coming forth abundantly into the pool and be flowing into the channels and also shooting up into the air even as you see it now. We may have our children come to any visionary experience in the past, present or future, for these are all continually before us as we desire. I am here at the fountain with you, and this is a vision in the future when the water is freely flowing.

We may also give a visionary experience for multiple people at the same time, and yet they don't see the others. This happens here or in any place in a celestial environment, such as on our celestial orb. This is a feature of our celestial realms

Raphael, the email accounts of S and S were given to them from us, their Heavenly Parents. This year, in 2021, the first arrivals of our elect will come to the New Jerusalem. They will each have specific missions to further prepare the New Jerusalem, and to welcome the flood of new arrivals next year in 2022. To them, this will be such a beautiful paradise in which to dwell! The scripture in Isaiah 52: 7, for all those who come to Zion, interpreted by your Heavenly Father, will be fulfilled:

Isaiah 52:7

"How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!"

All that your Heavenly Father spoke to you last night, that you wrote in your journal, is true and of him. We will wipe away their tears when they arrive here at the New Jerusalem (see Isaiah 25: 8). These will be such glorious days ahead!'"

175A5, Heavenly Mother speaking: "In that day shall be fulfilled the words of Isaiah:

"Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I.

(words in parentheses from Heavenly Mother)"

146B13-146B15: "Heavenly Mother spoke again:

'Raphael, in that day when you begin to build up again my Zion shall the ancient scripture be fulfilled:

Isaiah 52:6-12–

"Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I. (Raphael, many of my people will also get to know me, their Heavenly Mother in that glorious day!)

How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation (salvation in the Church of the Firstborn with eternally-binding ordinances that are necessary to exalt my children); that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!

Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the Lord shall bring again Zion.

Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of (the New) Jerusalem: for the Lord hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed (the New) Jerusalem.

The Lord hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.

For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight: for the Lord will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your rearward." (words in parenthesis added by Heavenly Mother).'

Heavenly Mother then shone exceedingly bright and gradually raised up into the celestial sky above. Soon she was out of sight. I then closed my prayer and came back to my conscious mind and started my new day."

Isaiah 53:3
3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

122D3-122D6: "Heavenly Father then spoke to me: 'We sent our own Beloved Son into your dark and troubled world in a difficult time. He was acquainted with grief and sorrow in his own family, for this was one of his burdens he bore prior to his great mission among our children. Isaiah spoke of these difficult times in the life of our Beloved Son:

Isaiah 53:3 "He is despised and rejected of men (including his own family); a man of sorrow, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him (his own family and friends rejected him and wouldn't extend their love to him); he was despised, and we esteemed him not (many of his friends and family did not believe him, even when he did miracles during his ministry, and taught the truth as he received it from us, his loving Heavenly Parents)." (emphasis added by Heavenly Father).

Once we proved him, and he still came unto us his Gods, and leaned on us and not others who mostly rejected him, Jesus Christ started his ministry at age 30. He started his service as the great Messiah by being alone with us on the Mount of temptation. We came to him and continued to teach and direct him on how to minister in love to our children. After being tempted of the devil, and further proving his faithfulness, we blessed him on the mount of temptation with his full conscious and unconscious mind. He then had the veil of forgetfulness lifted and remembered fully his premortal standing and memories. He therefore was able to go forth among our children with confidence and great authority. He acted in his Godly role of power, performing miracles of all kinds and teaching our truths. He was endowed with the great blessing for the last three years of his life. He knew more about who he was and his calling than any other man or woman. This gave him the strength to go forth in great power among his brothers and sisters and to know all men, for he was given the blessing to see them with his full mind without the veil that restricts all the rest of mankind.'

I thanked my Heavenly Mother and Heavenly Father for their truths that they had given to me! I felt comforted in their plan to send us forth into this dark and troubled world, and the growth we could receive here. I also felt comforted about how they strengthened and blessed their Son, Jesus Christ, in his ministry. I hadn't known this before."

Isaiah 54:1
1 Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the Lord.

Sun, May 12, 2024
After cleansing of the church and of Israel, there will be fewer children of the covenant (compare parable of 10 virgins where 5 were foolish).

______________________________

Isaiah 54:1-4
1 Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the Lord.

2 Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes;

3 For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.

4 Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more.

137C15-137C19, from Heavenly Mother: "In not many years after the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh, the earth will be fully transitioned to her terrestrial state of glory. The New Jerusalem temple will be completed, including all of the celestial temple square area. The permanent presence of a celestial realm on the physical earth will greatly affect the earth helping her also make a transition to her terrestrial glory. The beginning of the millennium will be a wondrous time for our people who remain! They will work hard at rebuilding and making peaceful settlements.

Isaiah 54:1-4 (see also this entire chapter) "Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the Lord. (The desolate children will have been destroyed, who are many, and the children of the married wife refer to the elect of God who have been invited into the wedding ceremony in the parable of the ten virgins parable).

Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations, spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes. (This will be the start of the new Church of Christ upon the earth that will grow quickly).

For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited (Raphael, there will be many desolate cities worldwide that may be rebuilt and in some future time re-inhabited. There will be much labor and work in tearing down the old and building up peaceful settlements. Some cities will be fully destroyed, and some will also never be built up again. Their few ruins will stand as a memorial of a destroyed civilization.

Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed; neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more." (words in parenthesis added by Heavenly Mother)."

163E2-163E20: "I reread S's email this morning, and the references he had to Genesis 18:23-33, and D&C 45:31-33. I wondered about the great wickedness in some of the cities of our land, how there are many cities of our land ripe for destruction. S was told that there are so few righteous that those cities will not be spared. He said large numbers of God's children would be removed by the earthquakes and destructions in the contour and face of the land. I read that the Lord would spare the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah if there were even ten people who were righteous, but there weren't even ten, for these cities were destroyed.

I then read D&C 84:114-115, when the Lord spoke of the city of New York, Albany, and Boston. He said to "warn the people of those cities with the sound of the gospel, with a loud voice, of the desolation and utter abolishment which await them if they do reject these things. For if they reject these things, the hour of their judgment is nigh, and their house shall be left unto them desolate."

I wondered about any few who were righteous in those cities, if they would be protected? I had also read in D&C 45:32, about the desolating sickness coming to the land, that "my disciples shall stand in holy places, and shall not be moved; but among the wicked, men shall lift up their voices and curse God and die."

These things were all in my mind as I approached God in humble and open prayer this morning.

I then came to a place in my mind, in the inner city of some large US city. I was a little above this ghetto in the air, in the celestial realms on the earth. I could clearly see all that was happening in this wicked district of this city.

I then knelt in the air and asked my Heavenly Father to come to me. He came immediately, in bright glory before me! I felt the fire of his glory, great light, passing through me, even as if I wasn't there. I still beheld his fiery face, particularly his eternity eyes that seemed full of justice and great power. He was somber and intent on something it seemed.

Heavenly Father then spoke: 'Raphael, we are in the celestial realms on your earth above a wicked city of your nation. The inhabitants of this city are wicked and of the telestial world except for a few, less than ten required of Jesus Christ when he spoke to Abraham about the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. This city below us has reached the same level of evil as those ancient cities, and they will be destroyed.

The very few righteous that remain in these cities have been elevated to be terrestrial mortals. For these few, they stand in holy places which is in their own dwellings. If they do not respond to our promptings to leave this wicked city, we will still be merciful to them. There is a great darkness that has enveloped all of your land, and particularly the large cities like this one. Many of our elect are still in these cities, and will remain even until we destroy these cities. Some of these elect will perish, but most will be spared, even as was Rahab and her father's household who dwelt in Jericho (see Joshua 6:25). Just as clearly as the destroying armies of Joshua saw the scarlet thread in the window, and spared Rahab and her household, so clearly will the angel of destruction see our elect having the corona flame about them in their bodies, and spare them in the destructions coming to their cities. This will then fulfill the scripture in D&C 45:32, where the people around these spared elect will curse God and die, while the elect stand in holy places.'

I was kneeling before my majestic Heavenly Father in the air above this wicked city. I then saw below us, an angel of destruction come also above the city, and raise his right arm in the air. The power and strength of the Father then came into and passed through this angel to the city and its inhabitants. Great destruction and death came to those in this city, even to their utter destruction. I saw that S's words in his email that the large earthquakes "will remove large numbers of (God's) children from the face of the earth."

I saw other cities of our land also being destroyed. Heavenly Father took me higher above the land, so I could see the curvature of the earth, and the United States below me. I saw flashes of light around the land, in populated areas primarily. It was nighttime.

Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, these flashes of light are the wicked cities of your own land that are being destroyed, for they have reached a high level of wickedness, even as Sodom and Gomorrah were wicked. We will spare the righteous mostly who dwell in those cities, but the wicked will perish in large numbers.

When S saw that the light and glory of my presence destroyed him and the tree of life, this was representative of what will happen to these cities and the wicked. I will cleanse your land, and then the entire world, of all who are telestial, and spare the terrestrial elect whom I have chosen.

At a future day, in the millennium, my righteous shall enlarge the places of their habitations, and inherit some parts of these desolated cities:

Isaiah 54:2-3-

"Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes.

For thou shalt break forth on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited." (see also 3 Nephi 22:2-3)

I faced my Heavenly Father who was no longer full of intense fire and indignation. I spoke: 'My Father, I thank you for the confirming vision of what S saw, and more. I pray for the safety and well-being of your elect scattered on the earth. I pray that I may be able to protect them, for I know I have been replicated many times over, and stand as a sentinel or guard over them, even with my sword of Raphael unsheathed (see my post 151B26-151B31). May I help in preserving them also during the days of destruction coming upon the wicked, that these, your elect, may largely be protected and saved, even in their mortal bodies?'

Heavenly Father smiled and spoke: 'Raphael, you will protect and spare all of the elect that we inspire you to save from the destructions around them! You are already in place among each of our elect, in your replicated bodies, in the celestial realms on the earth. Protect them with my power that I have given to you with your sword of Raphael. Extend your sword of protection above these elect that I tell you to spare, and I will spare them, even as Rahab in Jericho. They will then be allowed to inhabit our new millennial earth, filled with others of my elect that I have chosen.

For those few elect who are not spared, I do this for my own purposes, that they may minister to me in the paradise of God in the world of the spirit dead.'

I bowed my head and thanked my Father for granting me my request! I said I loved him, and would serve him faithfully as he and Heavenly Mother would direct me.

My vision ended, and I found myself writing the conclusion of this morning's prayer in my journal. I closed in the name of Jesus Christ, the mighty King in Zion."

Here is S's recent email:

R,

Sometimes I have a feeling to share a journal entry with you. At times, I act immediately and afterwards I am glad that I did. At other times, I wonder if it was actually a prompting or just my mind, and do not act immediately. In this latter case, I felt on two occasions that I should share these two entries. I reread the last week of entries in my journal this morning, and each brought me joy, but I felt that I was to share these two entries for a reason unknown to me.

---------

6-8-20 AM

I read Raphael's post on the Rod of Jesse this morning. Half-way through the post I had a strong desire to ask in prayer for something. By the time I finished the post over 1 hour later, I forgot what I wanted to pray about. I tried to recall the thought, but it didn't come to me.

As I readied myself to pray, I drank water from my sink and prayed it be living water as I knelt down. As I called upon my Heavenly Parents, I heard Heavenly Mother's voice call me to her side. As I came to her side, my mind became very clear and I recalled immediately my previous desire for prayer. I had felt a great desire to pray for the elect who are stumbling because of the spiritual darkness covering the earth. Heavenly Mother spoke to me, 'I will grant you the desire of your heart and we will both pray for these elect. You will pray 1st and then I will follow.' She took my left hand in her right hand as we faced the earth. I began to speak, 'I pray now for the elect of God who are blinded to the light of truth because of the deceit of Lucifer and the sophistries of mankind. I ask that these be blessed with light to the extent that they humble themselves and ask God. I pray that these will have a desire to ask God to help them discern truth from error and that they will not be tossed about by Lucifer as chaff in the wind. I pray that the light of Christ will grow within them and guide them through the dark days ahead.' As I finished my prayer, Heavenly Mother asked me to write up to this point, then return in prayer to hear her blessing, and then to record her prayer.

As I returned to pray, I came beside my Heavenly Mother. I saw her more clearly now. She wore a white robe with a red sash. Her hair was down and it was blowing in the wind. She was beautiful and radiant. She directed me with her thoughts by communing to my mind, she said, 'Come see mine elect children through my eyes.' At this time I saw through her eyes as if part of her being. I saw many of the elect who were struggling in darkness and confusion at this time. She yearned after these children even as a young mother for her crying baby in the night. She then blessed them, 'To each of mine elect who turn their minds to God in prayer, or open their hearts even a crack, I will pour down light and love from heaven as never before. If you reach out to me, I will reach out to you, and call you by name. You are loved as you have always been loved and I promise that you will feel this great love if you but turn to us your Gods, even Heavenly Father, myself, and Jesus Christ. If you but call upon us, we will fill you with our light and love in abundance.'

I perceived that these children must desire this with all the purity and longing of their soul, and it would come to pass even as Heavenly Mother said.

I then saw her look at myself standing beside her, and I felt her great love for me. I began to cry for joy filled my heart. I then saw through mine own eyes again and I looked upon her with gladness. I embraced her and she kissed my cheek. This scene then closed to my view.

---------

6-14-20 AM

Last night I prayed next to my bed as it was late and I had already fallen asleep in my rocking chair, then I awoke to get into bed. I knelt to prayer beside my bed. In my prayer, I heard Heavenly Mother's voice direct me to rest and tomorrow I would learn more about what is soon coming to our nation.

This morning, I knelt in my closet to pray. I asked forgiveness for my weakness and shortcomings and desired to be better. I heard Heavenly Mother's voice call to me. She spoke, 'You have come in prayer as directed. You will soon see what lies in the future as I spoke last night. Your Father will share this message with you. I next perceived myself kneeling at the tree of life. I was partaking of the fruit at the tree of life. Immediately, Heavenly Father appeared above the tree in great glory. I next was observing myself from afar and saw that in his full glory the tree and myself were burned and obliterated by the intensity of his light. Next, the tree and myself were returned to our previous state. Heavenly Father spoke, 'My full glory could completely overcome your entire being in your current state. Yet you are my son and may grow line upon line, glory upon glory until you may one day stand as I do before you at this time. This promise is for all our children who are true and faithful. I will bless you to progress even in your weakness.'

At this time he took my hand and we stood above my current nation. He spoke to me, "you read in D&C 45:33 that following the desolating scourge would come earthquakes in diverse places. You have read reports of thousands of small quakes/tremors occurring in many locations recently in the U.S. You have wondered if these small quakes were fulfillment to this scripture. The earth is beginning to transition to a terrestrial state. There will be a cleansing of her surface to remove the telestial order inhabitants. There will be great earthquakes that will completely change the contour of your land and wipe out entire cities as occurred among the Nephites. Many of your cities are similar to the conversation between Abraham and the Lord (See Gen 18: 23-33) when Lot dwelt in Sodom. There are cities with so few righteous that they will not be spared. These earthquakes will be large and not only change the contour and face of the land, but they will remove large numbers of our children from the face of the earth. These changes are near, even at the door. Continue to watch and be ready for these great changes coming to the earth.'

I felt peace and assurance that all these things are in his control. This scene closed before me and I ended my prayer.

Have a great week, S

Isaiah 54:2-5

Once Zion is delivered, she will stretch forth upon the Americas and inherit the desolate land which have been cleansed by the Lord. See my notes in 3 Nephi 22:3.

The widowhood was before the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, the husband is the Lord who delivers Zion. So glorious will be these days that the days before the deliverance of Zion will not be remembered, or the reproach of thy widowhood will not be remembered.

Isaiah 54:3
3 For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.

173E26-173E30: "I asked my Heavenly Father about the building materials for the terrestrial earth as it expands across the promised land, and upon this New Jerusalem island.

'Raphael, our elect will build new structures from the available wood and building materials in their local areas. Everything constructed on this island, except for the celestial temple area, will use resources that grow on this island that are terrestrial. There have been many fast growing trees that will be harvested to meet all the needs of the New Jerusalem itself. One exception is the embellishments brought for the temple to adorn it, that have been preserved for generations. These temple embellishments will be changed to a celestial nature on a one by one basis by us, your Gods.

Once Zion cities spread abroad, our people will use local resources which will have mostly been changed to a terrestrial realm. Were they to occupy an area of an abandoned city these cities were built from telestial resources which will change to become a terrestrial part of the earth as our elect children occupy it and bless the area with their presence and God's blessings. This will be the time when Isaiah 54:3 will be fulfilled, when our terrestrial elect will inherit the desolate cities of the gentiles.

We permit plants and animals to be propagated from a higher realm to a lower realm, but not the other way around, from a lower realm to a higher. This also includes resources to be used for buildings. We don't want telestial resources to be used to build up terrestrial cities, or terrestrial resources to be used in celestial realms. We keep the integrity of the spiritual realm by using the same realms or higher materials used in that realm.

We have also decided not to use any part of this celestial forest and surrounding celestial realm on any other area on earth except for the temple block area on this island. We could have done this to build up the New Jerusalem city and terrestrial temple since celestial resources could be used on terrestrial buildings but will instead bless the trees to grow extremely fast to meet the many needs of construction.'"

Isaiah 54:7-10
7 For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee.

8 In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the Lord thy Redeemer.

9 For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.

10 For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee.

138B4-138B9: "Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, your dream last night was from us, your Father and Mother. When worldwide calamities come to your area, they will come suddenly and all at once. There will be the portent of war on the news, economic collapse in the land, power grid failures, a seemingly quickly lessening of societies' values, with no regard for anything but peoples' own immediate needs and desires, and distress in peoples' lives all around you. It will come upon all the land quickly and at the same time. "As a whirlwind it shall come upon all the face of the earth." (see D&C 112:24)

Even though all these things will come upon you and your nation, we will be with the faithful who know us, and give them peace. We will fill them with assurances that they will be able to make it through these troubles, and soon they will have a glorious world ahead of them.

Ether 2:9

"And now, we can behold the decrees of God concerning this land, that it is a land of promise; and whatsoever nation shall possess it shall serve God, or they shall be swept off when the fulness of his wrath shall come upon them. And the fulness of his wrath cometh upon them when they are ripened in iniquity."

There are many dark and ominous clouds on the horizon in your land and in the world. We will protect our own who come unto us, seek our faces in humble, sincere and connective prayers. We will pour out our peace to our faithful in a troubled world.'

The faces of my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother then brightened. Heavenly Mother spoke: 'During these difficult times, look to us in every time of trouble. We will fill your mind and heart with our love and our promises of a beautiful peaceful world that will soon blanket the earth. It will seem "for a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee. In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the Lord thy Redeemer." (see Isaiah 54: 7-8)

Heavenly Mother extended her hand and I stood and took it. She then wrapped her arm through mine and we started walking in the same direction to my left. I felt very much protected and guided by them and filled with their peaceful assurance that all would be fine."

143F13-143F15, from Heavenly Father: "Raphael, we will speak peace to our elect, those whom we have chosen to establish Zion and to come into the millennial days of rest. We will carefully guide them, and answer their every need in the days of privation and great difficulty. We will comfort and sustain them if they will follow our guidance, and seek our face!

I thanked my very powerful and sure Heavenly Father for his words to me this morning!

We were then both watching the misty clouds between us and the temple in the distance. They had completely covered the view of the temple, but now were again quickly dispersing. As we watched they completely disappeared.

Heavenly Father spoke: "Raphael, these white clouds are like the trouble that will come upon our faithful, that are expressed in the scripture Isaiah 54: 7-10.

"For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee (it will only appear this way to the conscious minds of our elect, but we will be in continual connection with them by our still small voice that we will give to their unconscious self).

In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the Lord thy Redeemer.

For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.

For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee." (see also verses 11-17)"

146D14-146D17, from Heavenly Mother: "'Raphael, your family gathering today was very pleasing to you and to all those in attendance. You are highly blessed! Throughout the day you shut your eyes and prayed short prayers to your Heavenly Father and me. I was there immediately, in your mind's eye. This was very real and was very comforting to you. I will not leave your side, or the side of our faithful who ask me humbly to come. The more obedient and responsive to us they are, the more we will be with them.

You were impressed with the poem "Good Timber", recited at your Thanksgiving meal. We give our children "the bread of adversity and the waters of affliction" (see Isaiah 30:20) to help each grow. Without the winds of change and hardships, there could be no growth. However, we will truly be with our chosen ones during their tribulations. It may seem like we have forsaken or abandoned them, but in reality we have not.

Isaiah 54:7-10

"For a small moment have I forsaken thee, but with great mercies will I gather thee.

In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the Lord thy Redeemer.

For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee."

Heavenly Mother extended her hand and I arose and took it in mine. She then took my replicated being with her back to her temple in the distance! I was also replicated and stayed there at the granite cliff. I then realized I was to not know what we discussed. I was, however, filled with comfort from her visit."

176E14-176E21, from Heavenly Mother in Oct 2020: "'Raphael, we know it is wearing on you and our children in mortality to continue in this pandemic. Many of the activities that brought you lots of enjoyment are no longer available or possible. Colder weather will make it more difficult to safely socialize and meet with family and friends.

We are pleased that you and your wife and son are doing all you can to protect yourself from catching this COVID-19 infection. You have kept up your vigilance since it came into your area over seven months ago.

Now that summer has passed, fall is upon you, and winter time soon will follow. There will continue to be more infections and deaths. As difficult as it will be, we ask that you continue to be careful and use precautionary measures to limit the spread of this very contagious illness. Even as this pandemic will seem to be turning and dying off, the more deadly virus that initially came to Utah and which we have temporarily halted its effects, will emerge among your nation. The contagious spread of this newer virus will continue, even until it is throughout your country. It will be at this time that your Heavenly Mother and I will remove our protection, and allow this deadly virus to erupt among the people. However, we will continue to protect our elect with the corona flame of your Heavenly Mother. This same fire will burn up the new virus effects like it has done for COVID-19.

In all of these tribulations, you may still find great peace from our Spirit, and particularly from the Holy Ghost. Your Heavenly Mother and I promise to stay close to you and continue to protect you and our elect with our matchless power.'

Heavenly Mother then spoke to me: 'Raphael, tonight you wondered how another week has passed by so fast. It will seem like this also for this fall and winter. Soon springtime,will come and, even though many tribulations and plagues will still surround you, there will be a newness of life and warmer weather. The period of difficulties will speed by for you, and then we will extend great kindness to you and to our elect. Then will these words of Isaiah be fulfilled:

Isaiah 54: 7-17

"For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee.

In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the Lord thy Redeemer.

For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.

For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee.

O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will lay thy stones with fair colours, and lay thy foundations with sapphires.

And I will make thy windows of agates, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy borders of pleasant stones.

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.

Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.

Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy.

No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord." '

I thanked my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother for coming to me tonight. I thanked them for their message. I asked for strength, and for the elect to be buoyed up were they to become discouraged or to feel it might be too hard to bear. I said I loved them, my Gods, and would trust in them at all times.

They both smiled, held hands again, and started to walk to my right. Heavenly Mother extended her hand to me, and I stood and took her hand. Together we slowly walked around the lake, even until I lost connection."

Wed, Jun 5, 2024
After Zion is delivered, the Lord will protect America, for it will be cleansed and place of Zion. During the trials before the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, or the second coming, the Lord will also protect the righteous. See 1 Ne 14:14-15, 17; 1 Ne 22:14 which explains that the Lord will destroy all who fight against His people and the establishment of Zion.

______________________________

Isaiah 54:13-14
13 And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children.

14 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.

187G8-187G10, from Heavenly Father: "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.'"

163H4-163H14: "Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, your wife and you discussed more how some family relationships turn sour because one of the spouses in the marriage is very emotionally unsafe, or toxic. In your recent case, you offered a family member gifts of swimsuits for her daughters, and she argued about wanting two suits for each girl instead of one each that you offered. You concluded that any interchange with her turns out badly because of her manipulative behavior, always seeking situations to be in her favor and being unreasonable and unthankful.

Your assessment of her and the relationship with her husband and children last night is true. She will continue to turn them against both of you in life, and by this devilish means of control, dominion, manipulation and unreasonable and continual repeated behavior, will destroy trust and love towards you and your beloved wife.

When such a relationship turns sour, you may still act in loving ways towards her and her family. However, your hopes of having a lasting relationship in mortality are dashed as long as she is in a place of power and control.

In such a case, when children in a household like this reach adulthood and move out on their own, they have many of the same behaviors of their mother, for they were raised by her and taught her ways. They will need to work through their own problems, and at one point face their own values and behaviors they learned while children, or continue in the same destructive behaviors of their mother, in their own lives. In this case, the sins of the parents are passed onto "the third and fourth generations." (see Deuteronomy 5:9). Each generation will be given a variety of the improper teachings unless they repent, realize their faults, and change their devilish ways.

Your Heavenly Mother and I allow such sins to penetrate in families, giving each new child susceptibility to their same habits of a great weakness of the flesh. All of our children in mortality have a mix of such weaknesses, taught to them by parents who themselves haven't realized their own faults and weaknesses, and yet changed before their own children have reached adulthood.

Such has been your own life. You have had to face certain habits and weaknesses you were raised with, and to come unto us, in prayer and sincerity of your soul, with a desire to change. Well did our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, speak of the way to correct such weaknesses:

Ether 12:27- "And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble, and my grace is sufficient for all men 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"

In your day, when spiritual darkness covers the earth, and Satan has great power in influencing our children, there will continue to be many weaknesses passed from generation to generation. These will be great stumbling blocks for our faithful elect. However, we who are their Gods will succor and bless them, as they are humble, open and want to each change the course of their lives.

In the coming millennial day, our righteous elect will spread forth onto the renewed terrestrial earth. They won't have Satan to influence and tempt them to learn his devilish ways.

D&C 45:58- "And the earth shall be given unto them for an inheritance; and they shall multiply and wax strong, and their children shall grow up without sin unto salvation."

Isaiah 54:13- "And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord, and great shall be the peace of thy children."'

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his teachings this morning! I told him that these instructions and counsels from him today, and Heavenly Mother yesterday are helping me immensely as I learn the proper ways to live my own life. I thanked him for sending to me a very wise and sweet wife who has also been helping me learn proper behaviors in human relationships. I feel so blessed, and desire to change my views to be the views of God. I said I desire peace and light, even in the troubled world and the gross spiritual darkness coming upon all flesh in a few weeks."

This is the great principle for the cleansing of the earth: whoever fights against the righteous of the Lord will fall and be destroyed. The place of safety will be with the Saints.

Isaiah 54:17
17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.

189H15-189H20, from Heavenly Mother, April 2021: "She spoke: 'Raphael, your Heavenly Father revealed to you this morning one of the ways that the evil men and women will seek to depopulate the human race off much of your earth. Their efforts with using the COVID-19 vaccination will be one of their ploys. You now know what they have conceived is destroying the natural immunity of those who accept the vaccine. Those who are thus compromised will help breed much more deadly mutations of the viruses that will quickly spread among the world's populations. Only those who have their own functional natural immunity and those whom we have chosen as our elect and whom I will protect with my corona flame, will survive this first phase.

There are other phases that they have planned which include destructions by severe weather, earthquakes, food shortages which bring starvation, pestilences and war. At one point we, who are the true Gods of the earth, will also create natural calamities. This will surprise these evil ones, for they think that they are in full control of the earth and its destiny. We have their days numbered, and will stop them in their ambitious world domination at the time of our choosing.

We are having you, Raphael, prepare early the New Jerusalem area so that we may start bringing our elect to this safe haven. Once our elect enter into Zion and her cities, they will be brought into the terrestrial realms of the physical earth. Those who are telestial will not be able to follow them into this higher realm, nor be able to even see them. To those in this lower telestial realm, the landscape of the earth will look flooded, barren, or generally uninhabited. However, in the terrestrial world, where our elect will enter, the earth will be beautiful and produce in abundance food for our elect.

Isaiah 54: 17

"No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord."

D&C 45: 66-71

"And it shall be called the New Jerusalem, a land of peace, a city of refuge, a place of safety for the saints of the Most High God;

And the glory of the Lord (that of the terrestrial world) shall be there, and the terror of the Lord also shall be there, insomuch that the wicked will not come unto it, and it shall be called Zion.

And it shall come to pass among the wicked, that every man that will not take his sword against his neighbor must needs flee unto Zion for safety.

And there shall be gathered unto it out of every nation under heaven; and it shall be the only people that shall not be at war one with another.

And it shall be said among the wicked: Let us not go up to battle against Zion, for the inhabitants of Zion are terrible; wherefore we cannot stand. (At times there will be a glow on the telestial land from the terrestrial Zion communities while there is yet a telestial earth. The enemies will know where Zion is located, but cannot penetrate the borders of Zion with their weapons, for they are in a different realm. Even if they were to bomb the land where Zion is superimposed upon, these weapons would have no effect.)

And it shall come to pass that the righteous shall be gathered out from among all nations, and shall come to Zion, singing with songs of everlasting joy." (words in parentheses from Heavenly Mother.)

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her additional explanations, particularly of how Zion will be kept safe from the wicked on the earth."

Isaiah 55:6-8
6 Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:

7 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.

8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.

145G6-145G16: "Heavenly Father then spoke to me, in my mind and thoughts like our Gods communicate to their sons and daughters: "Raphael, I am really before you, my son, and you are really my fourth son in this eternity. I have a work for you, among your brothers and sisters who dwell on the earth and in the world of the spirit dead.

You minister to our elect in the celestial realms on the earth where these, our elect, normally wouldn't see you unless they are also brought by my power into that realm.

You have been chosen to be our leader among the others who also work in our celestial realms on the earth. You assist your Heavenly Mother and I in our great last-days work among our faithful.

For all of you who are our celestial servants, we expect you to act on whatever we may ask of you to do, with all holiness of heart (see D&C 46: 7). We want you to serve our sons and daughters in love and great acceptance, and with immediacy when you receive our directions. Your Mother and I have chosen to work much of our strange work, our strange act among our children through you, our servants. We could do it all ourselves, but that is not our way. We work through those we have chosen. We have called and empowered each angel, each celestial servant, each one of the elect in our great effort. This is truly the work of God and not man!

All of our servants need to be open, humble, quick to respond, and full of faith and action. Our directions will stretch them in their capacity, and we will enlighten them with our Godly light and power to do all we ask of them.

You are an ordinary man on earth, in your mortal family. You experience the telestial world that surrounds you. This will continue, and you will continue to attract no attention above your neighbor, or in the world. However, in the celestial realms you are recognized as our last-days servant who carries our abundant light, power, and authority. When following your lead and directions, our servants will know by our Spirit that we are leading you, and that you are our true servant.

You will establish the foundations of Zion, the New Jerusalem. You have been commissioned to create the Church of the Firstborn in the New Jerusalem, a church that is celestial. Our holy angels will there administer eternally binding ordinances that we will accept. You will all serve us, your Gods, in this celestial temple and church throughout the millennium. Everyone who becomes exalted, and receives a celestial inheritance will come through this temple and receive the ordinances of the Church of the Firstborn. The only exception is Jesus Christ himself, who is already a God and has already received all of these ordinances in our own celestial temple on our celestial orb, directly from us, his Heavenly Mother and Heavenly Father. It is after him that the church of the Firstborn is named, for he is our Firstborn, our Beloved Son. He has wrought the great atonement for all mankind. It is through him, the Great Redeemer, that all mankind may receive salvation.

Raphael, you may now look outside on your travel by train to the airport. There is a heavy fog that is upon the city. This heaviness is also in the spiritual realms on the earth. Our light and spirit is very obscured by the fog that covers their minds. Most love Satan, the world, and their own selfish motives and desires, more than us, their true Heavenly Parents.

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

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."

Heavenly Father stopped speaking. He stood in royal majesty and power before me! I expressed to him, in my mind, my full dedication to his call for me. I said I would obey every prompting from him and Heavenly Mother. I said I loved him.""

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.'"

Isaiah 55:8-9
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.

9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

129C6-129C10, from Heavenly 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."

154G11-154G15, from Heavenly Mother: "'Raphael, we will strengthen you to measure up to our mission that we have in store for you. We want a man who is open and humble, and not one with any preconceived ideas or expectations. We are pleased when you approach us in sincerity and openness, and lean upon us and not your own views of how things might be, or how others view things. We have called and commissioned you. We have revealed to you our will and you have courageously written these our revelations in your journals, and shared them with a small group. You have kept this all secret, even as we have asked you to do for now.

Raphael, this is our work, our strange work, and our act, our strange act, and not your own (see Isaiah 29:21).

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."

Raphael, as you give heed to our voice, we will continue to reveal to you great things, even all things in their time. You are our servant in these last days of tribulation, and spanning into the millennial era of peace and rest!'

I bowed my head and told my Heavenly Mother I would humbly do all she and Heavenly Father would ask of me. I thanked her for her great support and enlightenment.

She then touched my bowed head and then immediately left."

35B21, from Heavenly Mother: "These things are of me, and not of man. My ways are higher than man's ways, and will not be frustrated or stopped. (see Isaiah 55:9 'For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.') My work will roll forth according to the plan of Heavenly Mother and myself, until the angels be crowned in glory and power. Thus will my work commence with all of my holy angels, ready for my service. We will work through them in orchestrating the great events of these last days, prior to the glorious second coming of our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, to the earth.'"

126C2-126C3: "It seems remarkable to me to instantly travel to wherever I may wish to go, like the celestial orb, or be taken by God to the outreaches of the universe! Yet this all happens for how else could I have such remarkable encounters and record them all? These can be verified as true by the Holy Spirit, or Holy Ghost. I trust in God that all happens just as I have recorded it. These truths are spiritually discerned for "the natural man receiveth not the things of God; for they are foolishness unto them, because they are spiritually discerned." (see 1 Corinthians 2:14)

The power and ways of God are "higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts" (see Isaiah 55:9). Every person who reads the scriptures, and particularly what grand things I claim and have written, needs to grapple with these things. It takes a believing heart and an open mind."

Isaiah 55:11-12
11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

12 For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.

118E4-118E8: "Heavenly Mother spoke: 'Raphael, after your prayer last night, I came to you in your unconscious mind and started you shining my light of the Holy Ghost upon multiple areas on your own earth. I started in your own neighborhood, and then in the Salt Lake Valley. I was next to you in the air while you shone my light on multiple areas, just like you did last night over the city of Enoch. You have continued doing this since last night, and are even doing this in your replicated state over the earth at this very moment.

Your Heavenly Father and I desire this act of reflecting and shining forth my light of the Holy Ghost to be learned and practiced by every one of our holy angels. In a few weeks these angels will join you in your efforts. They too will do just as you have done.

Our ways are not your ways, or the ways of man. Our ways and actions are higher, even from the highest Celestial Realm, and from our celestial realms. Isaiah 55:8-12-

"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.

For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater.

So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth (and my light that cometh from my presence): it shall not turn unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereunto I sent it.

For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands." (words in parenthesis added by Heavenly Mother.)

Raphael, after listening to the LDS conference yesterday, you wondered more about the words of condemnation that you have written about the LDS church. However, this is not from you, but from your gods. You are our true prophet and conduit we speak through now, and not through President Russell M. Nelson. You have done well in recording our words for all to read in a future day, and for those few you send your words to in your current day. Even now you are only transmitting my thoughts to your unconscious mind, and then writing them in your journal, in your conscious mortal state. You do so humbly and accurately. We will confirm all of your words to those, our elect children who ask of us humbly, openly and sincerely. Our works will go forth to fill and transform all of the earth.'

I thanked my Heavenly Mother who stood before me in the air. Her robes started blowing in a wind, and I knew there was a change coming! I know she and my Heavenly Father had the power to do as they wished. I feel so humbled and so very honored to receive so much revelation and truth from their hands!"

103H2-103H8: "Heavenly Mother then spoke to me:

'Raphael, I am glad that you have met me at these quiet waters, so serene and still here in our southern desert! You have a consistent daily practice to pray to us and then to commune with us, twice each day. We are gradually refining your heart and mind, by the light, love and revelations we pour out upon you. The cumulative experiences of this daily practice are shaping your mind to think and see, even as we think and see:

Isaiah 55:8-13

"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.

For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:

So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.

Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the Lord for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off."

Raphael, you will know and accept our ways, and become yourself well-watered, even so that you become fully prepared and clean before us, prepared to do our great work we have for you to do in our millennium. The earth will be renewed as this verse refers to, and you will be renewed also. Don't worry about not being prepared enough to perform our holy ordinance in the New Jerusalem temple. We have desired that you will do this and you will be clean and ready.'

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her consoling words to me today. I said I looked forward to more refinement and renewal. I felt then so clear and enlightened before her! Her countenance shone on me and into me; I felt her light penetrate all of me. I could perceive I was clear and even transparent before her. I felt so refreshed and well-watered!

My Mother spoke again:

'We are preparing and strengthening you, Raphael. We will likewise prepare and strengthen all of our elect who come unto us, as have you. We will cleanse and strengthen them too, as they come unto us through our great Redeemer, even Jesus Christ. He will bring these diligent souls unto us, and we will teach them of our ways, and they will walk in joy and happiness before us. Oh, we love our elect so fully!'

Heavenly Mother then reached out and took both of my hands. I stood and we walked over the oasis waters together, arm in arm. She smiled and looked at me lovingly! I too couldn't keep from smiling broadly, for I was filled with joy! I felt so invigorated by being in her loving presence! I was so satisfied and at peace.

My mind then fell back to my mortal conscious state, writing all the while all of this in my personal journal. I feel tender and at peace. I have communed again with my God and have felt so satisfied, full of hope and joy."

During the millennial day, the earth shall become a terrestrial state. In this state, the weeds, thorns and noxious weeds will be tempered, for they are primarily part of the telestial world. The earth will return to the state of the garden of Eden. It will be relatively easy to tend and to cultivate the land, which will be free of harmful and destroying pests.

Thu, Jun 13, 2024
This is the Lord's promise to his elect: he will lead them to Zion, where they will inherit the earth and the holy mountain, the New Jerusalem. He will remove the stumbling blocks from these saints of God, spoken of in 1 Nephi 14:1–

"And it shall come to pass, that if the Gentiles shall hearken unto the Lamb of God in that day that he shall manifest himself unto them in word, and also in power, in very deed, unto the taking away of their stumbling blocks."

Isaiah 57:15
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.

159A3-159A16, 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."

Isaiah 57:21
21 There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.

Thu, Jun 13, 2024
A peaceful life is given to the elect who humbly approach him and are open. This is the lifestyle he gives to them.

176G5-176G7, from Heavenly Father: "He spoke: 'Raphael, I want to reiterate what your Heavenly Mother spoke to you last night. We will save our elect and protect and bless them. We will be quick to answer their pleas for guidance and protection. However, to the wicked, who seek their own will or those of the wicked, there is no peace (Isaiah 57:21).

Your Heavenly Mother, Jesus Christ our Beloved Son, and I care deeply for our faithful children! Of all parents, your Heavenly Mother and I know how to succor, guide and protect each by our matchless power.'

I thanked my Father for his comforting words. I said I felt such comfort and security in being in his presence, and knowing his and Heavenly Mother's promises for us, his faithful elect, while we live in mortality."

Isaiah 58:6-7
6 Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?

7 Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?

Thu, Jun 13, 2024
This is the true law of the fast, even that which will be practiced in the millennial day.

June 13, 2024: After I was directed to study a few chapters in Isaiah this morning, I asked humbly of God whether I needed to change my ways in the directions he gave me in the words of Isaiah.

Q: Shall I begin again the practice of monthly fasting before God? I have gotten away from this, connecting the fast with the spiritless fast and testimony meetings in my local ward. However, maybe my attitude needs to change, for the law of the fast is apparently an eternal law.

A, from Heavenly Father: "Raphael, it is now time for you to begin anew practicing the law of the fast as explained by Isaiah. As you do so, I will lift and remove your heavy burdens, that they will be light. Look around you and serve your neighbors. In addition, "hide not thyself from thine own flesh" (Isaiah 58:7), or those who may feel cast out, in your own family and extended family. Seek to bless them with relief, and pray for them. Let your light shine upon them, and love and accept them.

You have been seeking from me blessings of health and vitality. As you begin anew the law of the fast, as I have ordained, then "thine health shall spring forth speedily" (Isaiah 59:8). I will increase the effectiveness of all your remedies and methods of healing that you have diligently been doing. The law of the fast is a spiritual component of healing that so many don't realize and neglect.

In addition, as you keep this law, your Heavenly Mother and I will be more and more available to you:

"Then shalt thou call, and the Lord shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am." (Isaiah 58:9).

As you practice regularly my law of the fast, you will find your life enhanced, filled more with love and acceptance for all. You will find great satisfaction and inward joy as you look around you to serve and help others, a practice that is good to do during the time of your fast:

"And the Lord shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.""

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his guidance today, and his gentle correction to me. I plan to join with my local ward in their regular fast once a month. I have scheduled this time out on my calendar each month for the next full year. I plan to do this in the spirit of Isaiah 58 and in the directions that Heavenly Father just gave to me!

Isaiah 58:8
8 Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the Lord shall be thy rearward.

Thu, Jun 13, 2024
Here is a key to our health: to keep the Sabbath day holy, and to have a spiritual fast regularly to reconnect to God.

______________________________

Isaiah 58:13-14
13 If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words:

14 Then shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.

103E10-103E16: "Heavenly Father then spoke:

'Raphael, your Heavenly Mother and I have watched you today, how you have worked at putting us first in your life and then how you have served your wife and family. This has been the Sabbath day, our holy day.

We want you and all of our children who honor us to keep the Sabbath day holy. This means you normally don't do your regular work, but instead, fill your time in worship of us, your Gods, in meditation and prayer, in partaking of the emblems of the sacrament if possible, and of talking and discussing with each other our ways of living. It is a good time to serve each other, to strengthen your family relationships, and to seek to do things that bring more love, light and peace into your life.

Anciently, during the days of Moses, we gave him a strict law, which monitored the activities of our children more closely. However, we really desire our children to judge for themselves what activities will best bring them closer to God and man, and bring light, love and peace into their lives. We, and the leaders of our church, are not going to judge them, but wish them to judge whether their own actions and activities bring to them the desired results on our holy day.

We have always had a sacred day of rest that we have asked our faithful children to respect, in all of our eternities. If they honor us on our holy day, we promise to pour out abundant blessings in their lives. We do not want our children to become too strict with their Sabbath day observance, so that they become rigid and unyielding to the spirit of this law. Our Beloved Son wisely said, "The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath." (see Mark 2:22)

Isaiah 58:13-14

"If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words:

Then shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy Father: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it."

Our elect all honor us on our Sabbath day. In the great millennium, itself a seventh period, or Sabbath to us your Gods, all the earth will honor us on the Sabbath day. We will not even have the temple ordinances performed on our Sabbath, for all need to rest and be refreshed on our holy day.'

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his perspective on the Sabbath. I feel grateful to have this wonderful day of rest and recuperation for my soul. I thanked my Heavenly Father for the Sabbath and said I truly can call it a delight. I said I loved him and would keep his law of the Sabbath."

Isaiah 59:2-3
2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.

3 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness.

Thu, Jun 13, 2024
This is the current state of many Christians in the land. We have accepted the standards of our culture which is sinful, vile, and perverse. This has kept us away from our God so that he will not hear when we offer casual prayers.

______________________________

Isaiah 59:4-7
4 None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.

5 They hatch cockatrice’ eggs, and weave the spider’s web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper.

6 Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their works: their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands.

7 Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths.

Thu, Jun 13, 2024
Who is to be trusted? There is so much manipulations and deceipt in our day. People lie to get gain, and come back and sting you with backbiting, manipulation, harse stories wherein they cut you off and won't talk, for they conceive lies and trickery for their own gain. They are quick to sting with cutting words. They lie ready to entrap so that they will look good in the eyes of others, whereas you are the victim. There are few to be trusted except God.

Isaiah 59:20-21
20 And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the Lord.

21 As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the Lord; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed’s seed, saith the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.

Thu, Jun 13, 2024
This is the promise and covenant to those who repent and seek to align their lives to the Lord. These seek for Zion, a place of peace and freedom from iniquity. God will remember his covenant with the elect who seek him humbly, and are willing to be led by him. He will put his words and thoughts in their mouths and minds. Their posterity will live in peace and righteousness in the days of the millennium.

Isaiah 60:21
21 Thy people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified.

54M20, from Heavenly Father: "Isaiah 60:19-21

"The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the Lord shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory.

Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the Lord shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended.

Thy people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified."

Comment: This is a latter-days reference to the city of the New Jerusalem, where the light of God will illuminate the people, and God's temple. Verse 21 has a reference to "the branch of my planting", referring to the branch who would build the temple of God, even the archangel Raphael."

Isaiah 61:1-2
1 The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;

2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;

199C12-199C15: "Evening-It is late and the last of the family has left. We had a fun family celebration of Independence Day all the day long. I am pretty tired now.

My oldest son gave a thought after our family meal together about liberty. He spoke of Jesus Christ being the great promoter of liberty. He quoted Isaiah 61:1, read by Jesus in the synagogue of Nazareth when he proclaimed himself as the Messiah (see Luke 4:18-19).

Isaiah 61:1

"The spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captive, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;"

Jesus is the promoter of liberty to all people. The spirit of God is the spirit of freedom (see Alma 61:14-15). I thought this is why in the millennium all will need to comply with the spirit of freedom, or the Spirit of God. This is a terrestrial law. They receive the presence of the Son which is the spirit of liberty for all, and protection of everyone's freedom to choose what they will be and do (see D&C 76:76-77). They are of the terrestrial.:"

Fri, Jun 14, 2024
This is the way that Christ was to minister: preach good tidings to the meek, bind up the brokenhearted, proclaim liberty to the captives, . . . comfort all that mourn

Isaiah 61:3
3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.

Fri, Jun 14, 2024
See my notes in Isaiah 1:8. The ashes refer to the beauty of the future Zion after the ashes left upon the land from the invading armies, the burning at the second coming and the destruction of the land of America.

Isaiah 61:4
4 And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.

Fri, Jun 14, 2024
See my notes in Isaiah 1:7, a part of which is below:

"However, down the road from them [the elect of who were preserved], where there lived a telestial individual or individuals, they will have been destroyed, along with their houses, belongings and lands. I imagine, however, that there will also be some pockets of empty buildings between the homes of the elect, rather than just barren lands. This is when the scripture in 3 Nephi 22:3 is fulfilled: "For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left, and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles and make the desolate cities to be inhabited."

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.

175I3-175I6, from Heavenly Mother: "She spoke: 'Raphael, the removal of your burnt and destroyed greenhouse and chicken coop may seem like a lot of work and effort. This will be like the future devastation that will be found in your land of America, particularly in the cities, as the wicked kill the wicked and the land, large buildings, homes, and structures and landscapes of all kinds become destroyed and devastated. When the ungodly are removed from the land by reason of the wars, calamities of all varieties, and the convulsions of the earth, our people will make the desolate inhabited. Their labors and efforts will make the land lovely again.

Ezekiel 36:33-36,38 "Thus saith the Lord God; In the day that I shall have cleansed you from all your iniquities I will also cause you to dwell in the cities, and the wastes shall be builded.

And the desolate land shall be tilled, whereas it lay desolate in the sight of all that passed by.

And they shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are become fenced, and are inhabited.

Then the heathen that are left round about you (these are the last of the telestial inhabitants of the land that will not survive the day of the coming of the Son of Man in his glory) shall know that I the Lord build the ruined places, and plant that that was desolate: I the Lord have spoken it, and I will do it.

As the holy flock, as the flock of (the New) Jerusalem in her solemn feasts; so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men: and they shall know that I am the Lord." (words in parentheses by Heavenly Mother).

Soon your own nation will burn and become desolate, Isaiah 1:7-9 "Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.

And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.

Except the Lord of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah."

Raphael, all of these desolations need to be, and then the rebuilding and beautifying will again happen as the new land and her righteous inhabitants transition into a terrestrial earth. Our people will work steadily at removing the destroyed and building up the new. The land will become transformed into a pure and beautiful land. Our Zion cities and habitations will spread forth peaceably upon the land. Then the previous destruction will only be a memory and be seen as a memorial here and there of a previous world.'"

158G4-158G12: "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."

After the destruction in the land of America, and the great privations and waste cities, Zion will flourish in all America where desolate cities were. Converts will join them from other nations. These are the elect of God that will be preserved for entry into the terrestrial world, even Zion, the pure in heart.

This is why the Saints and Israel are afflicted--they rebel and vex the Holy Spirit. This is the only reason why he fights against them for a short time, so they will repent.

Isaiah 64:8
8 But now, O Lord, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.

168K1-168K11: "I have pondered over the two visions I saw yesterday, one in my past as a small boy and one in the future of my life in the millennium. I am the same person but so different in my abilities, knowledge, and skills. It amazes me how much our Gods can make us into the person they want, like molding clay.

Isaiah 64:8

"But now, O Lord, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand."

I came today to the beautiful birch tree grove on the hill going down to the city of Enoch. I knelt by the little stream of living water and drank. I felt refreshed. I then pulled up my healing seer stone and looked into it with intention to come into the presence of my Heavenly Father, for I felt he would be with me all the day long today.

I then came to the tops of the birch trees above me. Heavenly Father was standing before me, and I was before him standing in the air. His immediate person was so magnificent and powerful! He was smiling upon me.

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:"

Raphael, come here during your day at any time, whether in your conscious mind in your mortal life, or in your replicated beings laboring for us in these celestial realms, and I will be here ready to immediately commune with you!

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his words, and his amazing perspective as the potter who, with Heavenly Mother, shapes our lives to become the very best we can be."

This is the cleansing of the LDS church who come not to His holy mountain when times get really tough. There will be a cleansing of half of the church since they won't come because of the influence of Babylon is too great in their lives. See the parable of the 10 virgins.

24 And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent’s meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the Lord.

178B1-178B5: "From Heavenly Father at the golden altar speaking to me:

'Our elect call upon us and we hear each prayer. There will not be a general time when our elect will covenant to keep the law of obedience and sacrifice, but it will be on a one by one basis. At one point in their pleadings, they will each promise or covenant to obey our words that we inspire them, and will also give away all that they have to know us and to enter into Zion. When they enter the gates of Zion, they will have so few possessions, mostly only their clothes to cover their bodies. These too will be replaced with the simple and humble clothes of Zion. Therefore, all will be made new for our elect when they come into this higher realm on the earth.

After our elect individually covenant to keep the law of obedience and sacrifice, we will make our covenant with them to bring them into the higher realm of Zion, and their posterity, for the remainder of the temporal earth. This covenant will be as real as that of the covenant we made with Noah and his family that we would never again bring the floods on the earth to destroy all flesh. In the latter days, our part of the covenant will be to bring our elect into Zion, the New Jerusalem, a terrestrial mortal earth, and a place of peace and safety forever! We will no longer allow Satan and his hosts to influence or tempt them, for you will remove these wicked spirits to the bottomless pit. We will also no longer allow the mortal wicked to flourish and live in the flesh on the earth, except during the end of the millennium, when Lucifer and his hosts will be released for a little season.

The token of our covenant with our elect will be their simple plain clothing. They will wear this every day, and thereby have a reminder of the covenant we have made with them to bring them into Zion, the terrestrial mortal earth. All the previous telestial life will be a thing of the past save it be the relationships with those who also come with them to Zion, the pure in heart. They may bring with them to ZIon certain records we approve of that describe their personal journey to a condition that allowed them to come to Zion.

Raphael, the volumes of your personal record, even the books of Raphael, will be what we want you to bring with you to our New Jerusalem. Your records show the changes you experienced to prepare yourself for Zion, and a large amount of our great revelations we have given to you that can be fully shared in Zion among our elect sons and daughters. They will gladly read and ponder your records and others that contain a fullness of the gospel of Jesus Christ. In that day, the "earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea." (Isaiah 11:9).

Isaiah 65:17-19, 21-22, 24-25

"For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.

But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, I create (the New) Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy.

And I will rejoice in (the New) Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying.

...And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.

They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands.

...And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the Lord." (words in parentheses from Heavenly Father).""

In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, The Lord Our Righteous."

Comment: In verse 5, the righteous branch is Raphael, and the king is John the Beloved, the one raised unto David. The king will execute judgment and justice in the New Jerusalem. The verse would be better written as follows:

Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will raise a righteous Branch, and unto David a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.""

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.

185B2-185B11, from Heavenly Father: "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."

Jeremiah 31:31-34
31 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:

32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the Lord:

33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.

34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

Sun, Jul 14, 2024
This is the new covenant that God the Father makes with the house of Israel in the last days, even as Nephi was told in 1 Nephi 14:5. They will do all that he commands them, and he will lead them to eternal life, even as explained in the oath and covenant of the Melchizedek Priesthood. Ultimately, all that the Father has will be given to them, as they are led by the Spirit and follow God, here a little and there a little. This is the Covenant path.

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.

"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."

See also my notes in Ezekiel 37:27

July 14, 2024: Today during the sacrament Heavenly Mother said that the sacramental covenant is part of the New and Everlasting covenant. However, it is not counted as essential to have been received, unlike how baptism or the waters of separation ordinances are essential. The sacrament is meant to support God's children as they travel through mortality in their progression towards their eternal destiny.

44I3-44I7: "Q– Is what David wrote to me about, the distinguishing characteristics of the righteous and the wicked as found in D&C 84:51-54, really true and interpreted correctly? Is coming to Christ really the whole purpose of religion, so that we can be introduced to the Father and Mother, and have a relationship with them again, even in mortality? A– Yes, this is what all true religious activity points to and promotes–that our children come unto Christ (this is also the overall message of the Book of Mormon), and to have an experience with him. Then he will introduce them to the F, and then to Heavenly Mother. They will then direct and guide their child. See D&C 84:57-59–

"And they shall remain under this condemnation until they repent and remember the new covenant, even the Book of Mormon and the former commandments which I have given them, not only to say, but to do according to that which I have written—

That they may bring forth fruit meet for their Father’s kingdom; otherwise there remaineth a scourge and judgment to be poured out upon the children of Zion.

For shall the children of the kingdom pollute my holy land? Verily, I say unto you, Nay."

Also Jeremiah 31:33-34– "But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.

And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more."

Those who try to do this are called righteous, and those who do not try, or who lack faith and don't try, are under condemnation for not coming to God, in this very personal way. These are called wicked. This is why the whole world groans under sin, because they will not make the effort to come unto God.

See D&C 93:1–"Verily, thus saith the Lord: It shall come to pass that every soul who forsaketh his sins and cometh unto me, and calleth on my name, and obeyeth my voice, and keepeth my commandments, shall see my face and know that I am;". This is our true desire for each of our children.

Last night I thought a lot about trying to hear more of what I perceive and receive from God, in my unconscious mind. I was wondering if this was possible, while a mortal or while a translated/transfigured being.

I have been told that I would start receiving more and more of what I am being told in my unconscious mind. It is not like God is trying to hide from me what he says–it is more that I have not developed in myself the perception to hear or tap into God."

130C1-130C16: "As I reread my above entry this morning, I thought of this scripture, speaking of the millennium:

D&C 84:98 "Until all shall know me, who remain, even from the least unto the greatest, and shall be filled with the knowledge of the Lord, and shall see eye to eye, and shall lift up their voice, and with the voice together sing this new song, saying:"

There are then four verses of a song that people will sing when they see eye to eye, when God again brings up Zion, and the earth brings forth in her glorious terrestrial strength. What a beautiful world we then will live in!

Here is another scripture about all of the people knowing God in the millennial day

Jeremiah 31:33-34 "But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.

And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more."

I believe this time spoken of by Jeremiah will only happen after Satan is bound and the earth and her inhabitants transition into a higher terrestrial state.

This morning I came to the beautiful celestial orb on the southern shore of Lake Beautiful. The water was so very crystal clear here, for this is the celestial world where all the water is living celestial water! I could see the bottom of the lake, far out into the lake. I could see fish swimming in the waters and beautiful water plants in the lake. The shore was also resplendent with life and beauty! I felt very connected to my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother already, even though neither had appeared to me yet.

I knelt on the beach and faced the vast waters of the lake. I asked for one or both of my Heavenly Parents to come. I then saw in front of me, on the waters, both my Heavenly Parents walking towards me, on the air a little above the waters of Lake Beautiful! They were radiating abundant light that shone above and into the waters, even to the bottom of the lake!

They soon stopped thirty or forty feet from the shore and asked me in my thoughts to come to them above the waters of Lake Beautiful. I stood and seemed to float in the air until I was right before them! I then knelt in the air above the waters. I could see clear to the bottom of the lake still, for the light from God penetrated that far down to the bottom. I looked up and also felt their intense light flow into and through me! There was no part of me that didn't have light flowing through. I felt very loved and also accepted of them.

Heavenly Father then spoke: 'Raphael, the laws of the celestial allow us and you to come upon the waters in the air, all determined by our thoughts and intentions. We are all in tune to the celestial orb, the celestial water, and the celestial air here, which each loves to adjust themselves to our every desire. This too will occur, to a lesser degree, on your terrestrial earth during the millennial day soon at hand.

These phenomenon are all controlled by law and order, even as established in the beginning with our first parent Gods. Your earth now follows the laws of the telestial. It is more difficult to communicate with and ask for your earth, water and air in their telestial state to adjust the laws of gravity and other telestial laws, for you are all in a fallen state now.

In the terrestrial millennial day, all of our children will know us, for Satan will be bound and their minds will be clarified to a terrestrial level of understanding and vision. They will see eye to eye, when we establish again Zion, the pure in heart.

Isaiah 52:6-8 "Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I.

How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, They God reigneth!

Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the Lord shall bring again Zion."

My Heavenly Mother then spoke: 'Raphael not only will our people know us, their Heavenly Parents, and their Lord and Redeemer, Jesus Christ, but our people will be filled with love and acceptance for all. Husbands will love their wives, and the wives love their husbands, and both will love and care for their children in their families, even to an abundance! Sin will flee from the hearts of our people, and Zion will flourish for a thousand years. Great peace and happiness will characterize our people, who are our elect sons and daughters. What a lovely world this will be!

Your Heavenly Father and I will frequently come among our children, mingling with them in their houses and lands. We will be ever present in our celestial New Jerusalem area where you and our holy angels will work for the salvation of our celestial children. All will know us, from the least to the greatest. The earth will be filled with peaceful settlements and communities. Our light and love will enter into all the hearts and minds of our faithful in that day. What a wonderful day this will be!'

I then saw in vision these peaceful lands and homes of the saints of God! I saw how beautiful the sons and daughters of God were who lived in that future day! I longed to be there, to mingle with them, to talk with them in their homes, to play with their children in their yards, to feel of their love and enjoyment for life! I yearned to meet with them in their worship time, in their homes and meeting places in their communities. There was such an outpouring of the Holy Spirit that I was brought to tears! Oh, I want to be there!

Heavenly Mother spoke: 'Raphael, you will be there, but for now, you must mingle with our children who cannot see or feel, for they live in such a darkened telestial world. Extend our love to all, particularly to your wife, children and loved ones. Be accepting of all, and let our light and love shine forth from you to each one. Zion will be established by the pure in heart who love and accept one another, from the least unto the greatest!'"

140C3-140C15, from Heavenly Mother: "While pondering, I saw a bright light come upon the healing lake in front of me! I looked up in the sky and saw my glorious Heavenly Mother come in her majesty and brilliance! She descended gradually upon the lake and then moved to a place right in front of me! She was smiling and full of love and acceptance for me.

She spoke: 'Raphael, your Father came to you last night full of his Godly power and strength. I come to you this morning full of my chosen strength and power. You may feel my intense light even pass into and through you. You may endure and receive my presence only because you are clean and pure before me. There is not one spot in your body that I am not shining upon, for all of you are exposed to the brightness of my glory.

However, were you to have any iniquity or carnal nature, it would cause you to burn with great heat and cause you to shrink from being in my presence! This is why we ensure that those who come into the presence of your Father and I are first cleansed and purified by Jesus Christ, their great Redeemer. It is only through his atoning sacrifice that our children in the flesh may come back into our presence and behold our faces.

Even with all of our light and glory, we choose to speak to our humble, faithful children in a soft and still voice. We speak quietly to their inner souls, to their unconscious minds. It requires our children who hear to be prepared for our words through meditation, openness and receptivity. This guiding star within them comes from us, their Heavenly Parents. They will recognize our voice, for we have always spoken to them this way, through our Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost. We will gently and carefully guide them in their lives if they allow us to do so. In order to have our continual guidance, they must keep our counsels and directions we have previously given them. In this way, they may receive more.

Our children will not cause our wrath to rise unless they are full of wickedness and evil, and refuse to hear our voice. Then at some time, according to our will and time, we will come out in judgment against them in our power and strength.

Last night when you knelt on the cliff across this lake, you perceived dark clouds to the north. You fully saw these with your spiritual eyes and your unconscious mind. The view came to you in your mind and not through your mortal conscious self or your physical eyes. All of your perceptions and views come in this way, and they come from us. This manner of seeing into our celestial world and even into our faces, the faces of God, come to you in this clear but different way than you see and talk to people in mortality. This does not make it any less real, however, for it is very real and true. You need to be attentive to what perceptions you sense and receive by being in a quiet state.

Raphael, it is in this mental and spiritual quietness that our children come unto us and hear us. They need to be open and believing and to follow what we send to them. As they practice, they will receive more and more light and truth. We will speak to them in their minds and hearts, by our still small voice.

D&C 8:2-3 "Yea, behold, I will tell you in your mind and in your heart, by the Holy Ghost, which shall come upon you and which shall dwell in your heart.

Now, behold, this is the spirit of revelation; behold, this is the spirit by which Moses brought the children of Israel through the Red Sea on dry ground."

In the days ahead will be fulfilled this scripture, spoken by Ezekiel:

Ezekiel 36:26-28 "A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.

And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God."

Jeremiah also spoke of this change of heart in my people in your day:

Jeremiah 31:33-34 "But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.

And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more."'

I thanked my Heavenly Mother to be born in these transition times when I will see this great change in our world and society! I thanked her for her voice she speaks to me with, and for my new heart and receptive mind. I promised to be attentive to her words always and to please her by my actions."

183H15-183H19: "I then heard my Father speak to my mind: 'Raphael, our son, your Mother and I have many times helped our righteous elect in distress because of the wicked who have overtaken their governments, and brought them into captivity and death. In your day, however, even though this, your nation, will be destroyed from within and by foreign armies without, we will care for our elect with greater protection and support. The words of Jeremiah are now coming to pass:

Jeremiah 31:33-34 "But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days (the days of tribulations during the five months of army occupation, and the destruction of the United States of America), saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts (this is the law of the terrestrial glory into which they will be received. They are now being taught this law in the spiritual realms while they slumber and sleep), and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.

And they shall teach no more every man his 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." (words in parentheses from Heavenly Father).

The righteous in your land can now clearly see who is compromised by communist China who has so fully infiltrated your government and industry. Sides have been chosen, and you can see who the enemy is very clearly. All of this has been revealed since the days of the fraudulent election in your land. The wicked and compromised have purposefully ignored the clear audits and investigations made by those who have just wanted a fair election and justice. These wicked have sided with those who have sought the destruction of your government. We know clearly those who are now the enemies of your constitution and the Republican form of government.'

Heavenly Mother then spoke: 'Raphael, continue to trust fully in our revelations to you. Keep verifying the truthfulness of what we say to you. I will always witness to you the truth by the power of the Holy Ghost when you ask of me. Once you have confirmed the truth of your revelations, or truth from any source, you may feel assured they are true. Take heart, for we are with you always, and with our faithful elect.'

I thanked both of my Heavenly Parents to have come and spoken to me tonight. I felt at peace and felt their light upon me."

186I15-18623, from Heavenly Mother: "She then spoke to my mind: 'Raphael, we never intended that all of our revelations should go through one man for the organization of a large family (like in the days of Adam) or for a church. We want all to be prophets and revelators! Our intention is for every one of our faithful elect to be so endowed with our Holy Spirit, and become in tune to us, that we may as freely speak to them as we speak with you, on a regular basis. Whenever we speak to one, our words will be the same that we speak to another. This is now the great day of our visions and revelations being poured out upon our faithful elect.

Joel 2:28-29 "And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:

And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit."

In this way we may spread forth our truths quickly and thoroughly upon the earth, even at this, the beginning of the terrestrial earth. All will know us, their Gods, in that day.

Jeremiah 31:33-34 "But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.

And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity and I will remember their sin no more."

Whenever we might confirm our words through one of these, and they share this with their neighbors, they too will confirm from us these truths. In this way, may every truth be established, even by our Holy Spirit that will be among our people in great abundance. We will speak and confirm the same words to all, and all will know us, from the least to the greatest. They too will receive our words that we have given through you, and receive of our witness of peace to their souls that these are our words. Thus will all know us.'

I told my Heavenly Mother how wonderful this future day will be! I said I want so much to live in that free and holy time, free that we may openly share our personal revelations, that we all may receive in abundance the Holy Spirit of God to our own souls, and to know we are being led and guided correctly. What unity and oneness we will then feel, not only with our Gods, but with our fellowmen!

Heavenly Mother stopped walking and faced me. 'Raphael, this day of abundant revelation has already begun with your small group, and with our elect on the earth. This will continue to grow in abundance, even until you are in Zion.

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."

Our Zion will soon come to earth again, even among our humble elect who seek us, their Gods, and do what we say.'"

See my notes in Jeremiah 24:7.

The latter-day gathering consists of Israel making covenants in their hearts, and by following the Spirit, one step at a time. God will lead them to the place where they will receive all that the Father hath (see D&C 84:47-48, the path and covenant of the priesthood, and 1 Nephi 14:5)

There will always be a descendent of the original king David to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel (note, not the house of Judah). This current king must the king of the tribes who will come back and claim his political kingdom on earth.

54M17, from Heavenly Father: "Jeremiah 33:15– "In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land."

Comment: This is a reference to Jesus Christ, who comes from the seed of David."

Ezekiel 11:17-21
17 Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord God; I will even gather you from the people, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.

18 And they shall come thither, and they shall take away all the detestable things thereof and all the abominations thereof from thence.

19 And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh:

20 That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.

21 But as for them whose heart walketh after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will recompense their way upon their own heads, saith the Lord God.

Ezekiel 34:13-16
13 And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places of the country.

14 I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie in a good fold, and in a fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel.

15 I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord God.

16 I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed them with judgment.

176C4-176C6, from Heavenly Father: "'Raphael, we asked Jesus Christ, our Beloved Firstborn Son, to speak to you last night about the new heart and spirit that we will give our faithful when they come to Zion. We will prepare each one who comes by the experiences we give to them, and then by our spirit of Zion that we will pour out upon them when they finally arrive. This is the way that we will gather Israel in these last days. It will also be as Ezekiel spoke.

Ezekiel 34:13-16

"And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places of the country (this is upon the New Jerusalem).

And I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie in a good fold, and in a fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel.

I will feed my flock, (speaking of my elect), and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord God.

I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong (the wicked and telestial); I will feed them with judgment."

4 Therefore, ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord God; Thus saith the Lord God to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes, and to the cities that are forsaken, which became a prey and derision to the residue of the heathen that are round about;

5 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the heathen, and against all Idumea, which have appointed my land into their possession with the joy of all their heart, with despiteful minds, to cast it out for a prey.

6 Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel, and say unto the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my fury, because ye have borne the shame of the heathen:

7 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; I have lifted up mine hand, Surely the heathen that are about you, they shall bear their shame.

Wed, Nov 30, 2011
Israel will be gathered to mountains of Israel, in a time when cities of the USA are wasted, and the heathen (the beast) have come into the land. The heathen surround the mountains of Israel, and they mean to take it over. Then the Lord will have fury against the heathen (beast)

25 ¶ Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.

26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.

28 And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.

Sun, Sep 25, 2011
In the last days, Israel will be gathered out of all countries, and be cleansed of filthiness, given a new heart and given the Spirit, being obedient.

140C4-140C15, from Heavenly Mother: "She spoke: 'Raphael, your Father came to you last night full of his Godly power and strength. I come to you this morning full of my chosen strength and power. You may feel my intense light even pass into and through you. You may endure and receive my presence only because you are clean and pure before me. There is not one spot in your body that I am not shining upon, for all of you are exposed to the brightness of my glory.

However, were you to have any iniquity or carnal nature, it would cause you to burn with great heat and cause you to shrink from being in my presence! This is why we ensure that those who come into the presence of your Father and I are first cleansed and purified by Jesus Christ, their great Redeemer. It is only through his atoning sacrifice that our children in the flesh may come back into our presence and behold our faces.

Even with all of our light and glory, we choose to speak to our humble, faithful children in a soft and still voice. We speak quietly to their inner souls, to their unconscious minds. It requires our children who hear to be prepared for our words through meditation, openness and receptivity. This guiding star within them comes from us, their Heavenly Parents. They will recognize our voice, for we have always spoken to them this way, through our Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost. We will gently and carefully guide them in their lives if they allow us to do so. In order to have our continual guidance, they must keep our counsels and directions we have previously given them. In this way, they may receive more.

Our children will not cause our wrath to rise unless they are full of wickedness and evil, and refuse to hear our voice. Then at some time, according to our will and time, we will come out in judgment against them in our power and strength.

Last night when you knelt on the cliff across this lake, you perceived dark clouds to the north. You fully saw these with your spiritual eyes and your unconscious mind. The view came to you in your mind and not through your mortal conscious self or your physical eyes. All of your perceptions and views come in this way, and they come from us. This manner of seeing into our celestial world and even into our faces, the faces of God, come to you in this clear but different way than you see and talk to people in mortality. This does not make it any less real, however, for it is very real and true. You need to be attentive to what perceptions you sense and receive by being in a quiet state.

Raphael, it is in this mental and spiritual quietness that our children come unto us and hear us. They need to be open and believing and to follow what we send to them. As they practice, they will receive more and more light and truth. We will speak to them in their minds and hearts, by our still small voice.

D&C 8:2-3

"Yea, behold, I will tell you in your mind and in your heart, by the Holy Ghost, which shall come upon you and which shall dwell in your heart.

Now, behold, this is the spirit of revelation; behold, this is the spirit by which Moses brought the children of Israel through the Red Sea on dry ground."

In the days ahead will be fulfilled this scripture, spoken by Ezekiel:

Ezekiel 36:26-28

"A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.

And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God."

Jeremiah also spoke of this change of heart in my people in your day:

Jeremiah 31:33-34

"But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.

And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more."'

I thanked my Heavenly Mother to be born in these transition times when I will see this great change in our world and society! I thanked her for her voice she speaks to me with, and for my new heart and receptive mind. I promised to be attentive to her words always and to please her by my actions."

176B19-176B25, from Jesus Christ: "He spoke to me:

'Raphael, my son, welcome into my presence, and into the gate that leads to the straight and narrow path, that even leads to the tree of life. You have come to me with a broken heart and a contrite spirit. I have redeemed you and have brought you into my presence.

Your record, that is named Raphael, will never be read by the wise, puffed up and prudent who are not humble. The fullness of my gospel will be hid from them forever. They never come to me or to this, my gate, for they think they know a better way.

However, the humble, the meek, and those who consider themselves fools before God, even as Nephi wrote, will come to me and I will open to them. These are my elect, who are chosen by our Heavenly Parents, and those whom I will redeem. Each one has a special journey before them until they reach the tree of life and partake of its fruit and leaf. When these, our humble elect, finally come to Zion, the pure in heart, they will have been purified by me and cleansed by my power. They will be prepared and be open to accept all the records of Zion, and our abundant truths. They will read and hear of the fullness of my gospel and believe, for we will send abundantly our Spirit upon them to witness of the truth to their hearts and minds. These are they who will become the inhabitants of the New Jerusalem and our Zion communities on the earth.

Our Heavenly Mother spoke to you this morning that a lying, a deceitful, or a manipulative person will need to change and repent before they will be admitted into Zion. Only the humble and truthful will be accepted, whose hearts are contrite and broken. In Zion, all will see each other as equal, and will love another even as themselves. This cooperative spirit will permeate all, for we will pour out upon all a new spirit of Zion, even as spoken by Ezekiel:

Ezekiel 36:26-28

"And a new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you; and I will take away the strong heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh.

And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.

And ye shall dwell in the land that I give my people, and I will be your God."'

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."

Ezekiel 36:33-36,38
33 Thus saith the Lord God; In the day that I shall have cleansed you from all your iniquities I will also cause you to dwell in the cities, and the wastes shall be builded.

34 And the desolate land shall be tilled, whereas it lay desolate in the sight of all that passed by.

35 And they shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are become fenced, and are inhabited.

36 Then the heathen that are left round about you shall know that I the Lord build the ruined places, and plant that that was desolate: I the Lord have spoken it, and I will do it.

38 As the holy flock, as the flock of Jerusalem in her solemn feasts; so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men: and they shall know that I am the Lord.

175I3-175I7, from Heavenly Mother: "She spoke: 'Raphael, the removal of your burnt and destroyed greenhouse and chicken coop may seem like a lot of work and effort. This will be like the future devastation that will be found in your land of America, particularly in the cities, as the wicked kill the wicked and the land, large buildings, homes, and structures and landscapes of all kinds become destroyed and devastated. When the ungodly are removed from the land by reason of the wars, calamities of all varieties, and the convulsions of the earth, our people will make the desolate inhabited. Their labors and efforts will make the land lovely again.

Ezekiel 36:33-36,38

"Thus saith the Lord God; In the day that I shall have cleansed you from all your iniquities I will also cause you to dwell in the cities, and the wastes shall be builded.

And the desolate land shall be tilled, whereas it lay desolate in the sight of all that passed by.

And they shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are become fenced, and are inhabited.

Then the heathen that are left round about you (these are the last of the telestial inhabitants of the land that will not survive the day of the coming of the Son of Man in his glory) shall know that I the Lord build the ruined places, and plant that that was desolate: I the Lord have spoken it, and I will do it.

As the holy flock, as the flock of (the New) Jerusalem in her solemn feasts; so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men: and they shall know that I am the Lord." (words in parentheses by Heavenly Mother).

Soon your own nation will burn and become desolate, Isaiah 1:7-9

"Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.

And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.

Except the Lord of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah."

Raphael, all of these desolations need to be, and then the rebuilding and beautifying will again happen as the new land and her righteous inhabitants transition into a terrestrial earth. Our people will work steadily at removing the destroyed and building up the new. The land will become transformed into a pure and beautiful land. Our Zion cities and habitations will spread forth peaceably upon the land. Then the previous destruction will only be a memory and be seen as a memorial here and there of a previous world.'

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her encouraging words of Zion, and how the elect will fill up the land and transform it to a place of beauty and peace."

Wed, Nov 30, 2011
When cleansed from iniquity, Israel will dwell in the land and dwell in waste places and cities which were made desolate by the fire (nuclear bombs) in the land of America. The land was wasted, but it will look like the garden of Eden, populated by Israel. There will be remaining heathen left (which are from the invading armies) which will know that the Lord has done this great thing.

Israel (holy flock) will rebuild waste cities after marriage supper of the Lamb

Ezekiel 37:16-20
16 Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions:

17 And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand.

18 And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou meanest by these?

19 Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand.

20 And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes.

Thu, May 9, 2024
I read this passage of scripture about the stick of Joseph and the stick of Judah today. I prayed about the meaning of the stick of Joseph in particular. This is what I received while praying to my Father who stood before me and spoke to me the following:

"Raphael, the sticks of Joseph and Judah are those scriptures that will be revealed to our elect in the terrestrial mortal world during the millennium. Many of these revelations are reserved to come forth in the terrestrial world, and will remain hidden in your fallen telestial world.

The stick of Joseph contains the Book of Mormon, including the sealed portion that Simiel will translate at the beginning of the millennium. There will also be other records from various descendents of Joseph. The Book of Mormon was written by descendents from Manassah, the other son of Joseph (see Alma 10:3 and 1 Nephi 5:14). The Doctrine and Covenants was almost exclusively written by Joseph Smith, Jun, as revealed to him by my Beloved Son, Jesus Christ. Joseph Smith was from the lineage of Joseph, tribe of Ephraim.

However, by far the greatest part of the stick of Joseph is the Book of Raphael. You who wrote this are from the lineage of Joseph through Ephraim. This is why Ezekiel states in verse 16 "Joseph, the stick of Ephraim" and in verse 19 "the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim (this is your hand, Raphael, a descendent of Ephraim, and secondarily Joseph Smith's hand with the Doctrine and Covenants), and the tribes of Israel his fellows" (this includes primarily the Book of Mormon, the records of the lost tribes of Israel who now populate the New Jerusalem, and any other future hidden records to come forth from the lineage of Joseph). The Book of Raphael contains ten-fold more new and never before revealed revelations than all the other records of Joseph combined. Together, all of these revelations constitute the stick of Joseph.

The stick of Judah contains all the Bible prophets including Abraham, Moses, and prophets in your Old Testament, since these are the records of the Jews (see 2 Nephi 29:6). The records of the ancient patriarchs and prophets before the flood will also come forth and be part of this record. The record of the early apostles and other disciples of Christ will also be revealed and be included in this stick of Judah.

Together, the stick of Joseph and the stick of Judah will be one combined volume in the cannon of scripture in the future Church of Christ during the millennium. Our people will study all of these scriptures, from the least scriptures to the greatest."

123G8-123G14, from Heavenly Father: "When we have said in Ether 4:15 and 2 Nephi 27:10 that the sealed part of the Book of Mormon would reveal all things from the foundation of the world, we meant that this is a revelation of the chronology of man from his state in the Garden of Eden to the end of the millennium. This revelation spans the seven thousand years of earth's temporal existence. It will contain all things "which ever have been among the children of men, and which ever will be even unto the end of the earth." (see 2 Nephi 27:11).

Your words, however, reveal new truths never before revealed to man. Your words are not generally contained in the sealed portion of the Book of Mormon. Instead our words to you will be part of our many records coming forth that will reveal all things.

D&C 101:32-34– "Yea, verily I say unto you, in that day when the Lord shall come, he shall reveal all things–

Things which have passed, and hidden things which no man knew, things of the earth, by which it was made, and the purpose and the end thereof

Things most precious, things that are above, and things that are beneath, things that are in the earth, and upon the earth, and in heaven."

When Jesus comes, and the wicked are destroyed, then he will have your records made available to all the living on the earth. There will also be many other records with our revelations that he will bring forth. The sealed portion of the Book of Mormon will then be translated and also revealed for all to read and ponder. All things will then be revealed at the beginning of the millennium!

We are the same Gods that reveal our same truths to men and women everywhere. We command them to record their words, and their words fit in harmony with the words we have revealed to our other children to whom we have also spoken. These records from many sources will cause our elect who remain on the earth in that future day to marvel and rejoice!

You will then lock up Lucifer and his hosts so that they will no longer deceive and blind our children during the greater part of the millennium. You will only loose Satan during a little season at the end of the millennium. We will not have him disturb our truths that we will reveal to all mankind on the earth! The wicked will never read of our great truths revealed in your day.

D&C 121:28, 32– "A time to come in the which nothing shall be withheld, whether there be one God or many gods, they shall be manifest.

. . . According to that which was ordained in the midst of the Council of the Eternal God of all other gods before this world was, that should be reserved unto the finishing and the end thereof, when every man shall enter into his eternal presence and into his immortal rest." '"

Ezekiel 37:21-23
21 And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:

22 And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all:

23 Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwellingplaces, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.

Sun, Jul 7, 2024
This refers to the great day of gathering prior to the glorious millennial day of peace. God will gather the righteous to the land of America, even to the New Jerusalem in the terrestrial world. God's people, the elect chosen by the Father and Mother in the last days prior to the second coming of Jesus Christ, will mostly be gathered first to America on the telestial earth, and then to one land and one place on the terrestrial earth. Once Christ returns in his glory, these elect will return to the terrestrial earth with him and will come to the land of the New Jerusalem in that realm. From there they will eventually spread forth upon all the earth.

This will be a new start for the peopling of the earth, which has been done before. With Adam and Eve, they left the garden of Eden and began having children on the telestial earth. When Noah left the ark, there were only either people, or four couples that then had children who populated the new telestial earth after the flood. Likewise, in the new millennial day, there will be the elect of God who will dwell in the New Jerusalem area who will populate anew the earth. Each of these repopulating times is started by an archangel in the flesh, Adam (Michael), Noah (Gabriel), and Raphael (R).

The one king that will be king to all in the millenial day will be Jesus Christ, the king over all the earth. He will dwell among then for a thousand years, and will be their God.

Those elect who live in Europe or other countries and continents in the telestial world, and are caught up in the clouds with Jesus Christ, will return to the land of America on the terrestrial earth. They will not return to their previous lands when they descend with Christ in his second coming. Their previous lands in the telestial realm will have been destroyed. They will find new places to dwell on the American continent. The land of America will be the first place where the elect will be all gathered together, as a general body of the righteous. In time, the people will fill the terrestrial earth.

This king will be either Jesus Christ, who is of the Davidic lineage, who will be king over the entire earth. Alternatively, for those who dwell in the New Jerusalem, the king will be John the Revelator (John the Beloved), who is the son of Jesus Christ. These will be the two kings in the millennial day.

The everlasting covenant are the eternal covenants of the Father and Mother that include baptism, ordination to the melichizedek priesthood for men and high priestess for the women, and all the eternally binding ordinances done by the angels in the Church of the Firstborn, even in the celstial temple of the New Jerusalem. These all constitute the everlasting covenant that are done on the earth.

The invading army will be brought to mountains of the country Israel by the Lord. The Lord is bringing them all together to destroy them finally, to show forth His great power, and to save the righteous during this time of great affliction and trial. This will also happen with the invading armies in the land of America.

9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.

The mountains of Israel are a place of gathering for the people of all nations, dwelling safely there (see Joel 3:17-18) and part of Joel 2. The invading armies of Gog (the beast spoken of in Revelations ch 13) will come against the righteous and cover the land like a cloud.

12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.

Gog will attack and have a mind to pillage cities that are in the country of Israel. The walled city of Jerusalem will also be run over by the gentiles, even as God raises up the two prophets (see Revelation 11:2-3).

Since President-elect Trump won, he has been selecting his cabinet and key positions in his presidency. His inaguration date is Jan 20, 2025
, two months away. He has been very vocal and bold in his words, and in selecting very conservative individuals to help him rid the swamp of socialists and those in the deep state who are in government and industry. Their goal is to destroy the freedom of all mankind by the policies they promote. I have been pleased with what he plans to do, but also very concerned that the evil powers will somehow prevent Trump from gaining power, or maybe even becoming the president. He already has had two attempts on his life, but has escaped death. He says God has protected him.

I have been uncertain about the pro-Israel stand of Trump and those he has appointed to become heads of his cabinet. I have re-read what I wrote in Ezekiel chapters 38 and 39. I listened to Jonathan Cahn, a rabi who converted to Jesus Christ and has since written multiple books on last days events as prophesied in the Bible. He has a unique perspective on the timing of all of these events and the war going on in Israel.

Yesterday, after preparing myself through study and meditation, I prayed to Heavenly Mother for guidance. I sought for her presence, the Holy Ghost, to guide me in my questions, and to give me answers. I was humble and open. Below is what I received:

Q: Will God protect and preserve the state of Israel in the current war? A: Yes

Q: Are the Arab nations, including Iran, Lebannon and Syria who are active participants, part of Gog and Magog spoken of in Ezekiel chapters 38-39? A: Yes

Q: Is is God's will that the United States ally with Israel in supporting her in this war against Hamas and Hesbollah, the evil people in these Arab lands? A: Yes

Q: Will God destroy these evil countries who seek to destroy all of Israel? A: Yes

Q: Will this war in the middle east, focused on Israel, be one of the wars which will expand and propell us in a world war? A: No, this will stay in the middle east.

Q: Will the war in Ukraine expand and propell the world into a global world war? A: Yes

Q: Will the conflicts between China and Taiwan become another war that will expand and propell us into worldwide global conflict? A: Yes

Ezekiel 38:15-16
15 And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army:

16 And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.

Fri, Apr 19, 2024
The beast, Gog, will come against Israel in the land of Israel as a cloud to cover the land. They will come against the Lord's land, for the purpose of showing the heathen (Gog, beast) that the Lord is fighting the battles of Israel.

______________________________

Ezekiel 38:18-19
18 And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord God, that my fury shall come up in my face.

19 For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;

Fri, Apr 19, 2024
The Lord's fury will come against Gog when they come against the Jews in the land of Israel. He will come against them in the fire of his wrath.

______________________________

Ezekiel 38:20-22
20 So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.

21 And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord God: every man’s sword shall be against his brother.

22 And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.

Fri, Apr 19, 2024
Great calamity will come upon the attacking army when it comes against the Jews in the land of Israel. There will have internal fighting and pestilence to destroy the army. Note that the fire coming from the Lord is fire and brimstones. Ultimately, the Mount of Olives will cleave in twain when the Lord, Jesus Christ, descends to the earth (see D&C 45:48)

Ezekiel 39 Chapter Summary
Gog and the land of Magog will be destroyed—For seven years the people in the cities of Israel will burn the weapons of war—For seven months they will bury the dead—Then will come the supper of the great God and the continued gathering of Israel.

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):

Heading: Ezekiel Chapter 39

Gog and the land of Magog will be destroyed—For seven years the people in the cities of Israel will burn the weapons of war—For seven months they will bury the dead—Then will come the supper of the great God and the continued gathering of Israel.

"And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord God; Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood.

Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan.

And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.

Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord God."

Q– Who are those who come with Christ, in the clouds of heaven? See D&C 45:44-46–

"And then they shall look for me, and, behold, I will come; and they shall see me in the clouds of heaven, clothed with power and great glory; with all the holy angels; and he that watches not for me shall be cut off.

But before the arm of the Lord shall fall, an angel shall sound his trump, and the saints that have slept shall come forth to meet me in the cloud.

Wherefore, if ye have slept in peace blessed are you; for as you now behold me and know that I am, even so shall ye come unto me and your souls shall live, and your redemption shall be perfected; and the saints shall come forth from the four quarters of the earth."

A– These are those who are spiritually begotten by Jesus Christ, who are heirs of the kingdom of heaven, who are or will become members of the church of the Firstborn. See D&C 76:63– "These are they whom he shall bring with him, when he shall come in the clouds of heaven to reign on the earth over his people."

Q– The event of D&C 45:47-50, when the arm of the Lord shall fall upon the nations, and the Mount of Olive cleaves in twain–is this the same event, as occurs upon the mountains of Israel in Ezekiel 39:17-20, and Revelation 19:17-21 with the supper of the great God? A– Yes, it is the destruction of the wicked, at the second coming of Jesus Christ.

Q– Will I, Raphael, immediately after these events of the second coming, bind Satan with the great chain (Revelation 20:1-3)? A– Yes. It will be the next day, or the day after the destruction of the wicked, or after the supper of the great God.

Q– In Revelation 20:7-8–

"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."

Is this the same battle as spoken of in Ezekiel chapter 38 and 39? A– No. The battle in Ezekiel 38 and 39 are prior and during the second coming. The reference in Revelation 20:7-8 is after the millennium, when Satan and his hosts are released for a little season.""

Ezekiel 39:2
2 And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:

Thu, Apr 18, 2024
Gog will come from the north part of the earth against the country Israel. These will come to the mountains of Israel. The Lord will cause confusion among the army and miraculous actions against it until it is destroyed, or 1/6th part is all that is left.

______________________________

Ezekiel 39:3-6
3 And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.

4 Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.

5 Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God.

6 And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the Lord.

Thu, Apr 18, 2024
Great pestilence shall come upon invading army which attacks the mountains of Israel in the country of Israel, for the Lord shall stop them in their tracks and send fire upon them to destroy them.

Note that reference is made to the "isles", which generally refers to the land of America, which is an isle in the midst of the oceans. Ezekiel says fire will also come upon those in the isles that dwell carelessly there. This might mean that the wicked in America, those in Babylon and those among the invading armies there, will also be destroyed by fire.

Ezekiel 39:12
12 And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land.

Fri, Apr 19, 2024
In prayer I asked my Heavenly Father if the burying of the dead for seven months was going to occur before the second coming of Jesus Christ. I felt this seven month burial would be completed before the great second coming.

There will apparently be 1/6th of the army who will be left alive (Ezekiel 39:2). I believe these are those who later attack Jerusalem and drive the Jews to the Mount of Olives when Jesus Christ appears with a great earthquake.

______________________________

Ezekiel 39:17-20
17 And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord God; Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood.

18 Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan.

19 And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.

20 Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord God.

Thu, Apr 18, 2024
This is the great slaughter by the Lord, spoken of in Revelation 19. One important key sign here, to tie all these prophecies together is the calling of the fows of heaven and the beasts of the field to feast upon the dead from this great battle. This occurs in Revelation 19:17 and D&C 29:20.

______________________________

Ezekiel 39:23-24
23 And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword.

24 According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them.

Sun, Aug 28, 2011
Israel will be cleansed by going into captivity until the people are purged and made to depend upon the Lord their God

______________________________

Ezekiel 39:28
28 Then shall they know that I am the Lord their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there.

Fri, Apr 19, 2024
This is the cleansing of Israel so they become purified and repent. This will when a nation will be born in one day (see Isaiah 66:8).

______________________________

Ezekiel 39:29
29 Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord God.

Fri, Apr 19, 2024
This is the redemption of Zion when the Spirit will be poured out upon inhabitants of Israel as spoken by Joel 2:32.

Ezekiel 47:1-9
1 Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for the forefront of the house stood toward the east, and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south side of the altar.

2 Then brought he me out of the way of the gate northward, and led me about the way without unto the utter gate by the way that looketh eastward; and, behold, there ran out waters on the right side.

3 And when the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the waters were to the ankles.

4 Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through the waters; the waters were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through; the waters were to the loins.

5 Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed over.

6 And he said unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen this? Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the brink of the river.

7 Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other.

8 Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed.

9 And it shall come to pass, that every thing that liveth, which moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and every thing shall live whither the river cometh.

56H3-56H5: "Heavenly Father spoke to me:

'Raphael, the video you watched tonight about Planet X, or Nibiru, is mostly true. We have designed your solar system to be linked to a second binary star that rotates around the sun. This smaller star is not nearly as large as the sun, and isn't visible very often to those on earth. When it does approach and come close to the earth, this star, with it's high gravitational pull and magnetic properties, and the planets, moons and asteroids that orbit or trail Nibiru, will cause many problems for the inhabitants of the earth. These will create devastations that we have designed, as part of the tribulations coming to the earth. This event will be what the prophet Joseph Smith said, that people will mistakenly think it is the second coming of the our Son Jesus Christ, but it will be a planet or a comet.'

Later I looked this quote from Joseph Smith:

"Judah must return, Jerusalem must be rebuilt, and the temple, and water come out from under the temple, and the waters of the Dead Sea be healed [see Ezekiel 47:1–9]. It will take some time to rebuild the walls of the city and the temple, etc.; and all this must be done before the Son of Man will make His appearance. There will be wars and rumors of wars, signs in the heavens above and on the earth beneath, the sun turned into darkness and the moon to blood, earthquakes in divers places, the seas heaving beyond their bounds; then will appear one grand sign of the Son of Man in heaven. But what will the world do? They will say it is a planet, a comet, etc. But the Son of Man will come as the sign of the coming of the Son of Man, which will be as the light of the morning cometh out of the east [see Joseph Smith—Matthew 1:26]."

(Reference 1, also Reference 2)

I thanked my Heavenly Father for this amazing revelation to me!"

Daniel 2:41-43
41 And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters’ clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.

42 And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.

43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.

The kingdom of the beast will have 10 kings (toes) that will not have stong alliances.

______________________________

Daniel 2:44-45
44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.

45 Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.

Fri, Oct 20, 2023
The stone cut out of the mountain without hands is the kingdom of God, established on the earth in the last days on May 16, 2021
(see my explanation below). This was already been established on the celestial physical earth by the archangel Raphael (see my notes in D&C 65). This kingdom now awaits the kingdom of heaven which Jesus Christ will bring when he returns in glory to the earth. The kingdom of God was to be set up the days of the 10 kings of the beast.

See my notes in D&C 65:2, dated Sun, Dec 10, 2023
: "The keys of the kingdom of God were committed to Joseph Smith by Peter, James and John (see D&C 7:7, and D&C 27:13). These keys were committed to Joseph Smith, but not exercised during his lifetime in establishing the kingdom of God on the earth (see D&C 65:5-6, which says the kingdom of God hasn't yet been established as of this time, but the LDS Church was already established a year and a half earlier). The LDS Church IS NOT the Kingdom of God on the earth.

After the death of Joseph Smith, similar keys of the kingdom were again committed to the archangel Raphael, who exercised these keys in establishing the kingdom of God on the earth. This was at the event of the light of a thousand suns on May 16, 2021
(see 194H1 to 194H32), and confirmed by Heavenly Mother on April 18th, 2023
, and later on September 24th, 2023
. This event occurred in the celestial realm on the earth, and now awaits the coming of Jesus Christ, who will bring the kingdom of heaven (see verse 6). It had to be established on earth BEFORE the second coming of Jesus Christ."

See also my notes in D&C 65:5, dated Wed, Feb 28, 2024: "Doctrine & Covenants 65:5 5 Call upon the Lord, that his kingdom may go forth upon the earth, that the inhabitants thereof may receive it, and be prepared for the days to come, in the which the Son of Man shall come down in heaven, clothed in the brightness of his glory, to meet the kingdom of God which is set up on the earth.

Wed, Feb 28, 2024
The phrase "that his kingdom MAY go forth upon the earth" means that this kingdom had not yet been established at the time of this revelation. The saints are asked to call upon the Lord that this kingdom will go forth upon the earth. This kingdom wasn't established on the earth during the lifetime of Joseph Smith.

However, the kingdom of God WAS to be established BEFORE the second coming of Jesus Christ. These keys required to establish the kingdom of God on the earth have been committed to the archangel Raphael, prior to the second coming of Jesus Christ. The conferral of these keys are the same as the keys of the Kingdom of God on the earth. The declaration pronounced by Raphael was for an eternal kingdom and will last forever, for it is celestial. This is the declaration given in May 2021 by the archangel Raphael : "While the stars remain, and the heavens send down dew upon the earth, so shall the union last". See 194H1 to 194H32.""

Thu, Jan 9, 2025
I believe that the Kingdom of God was always envisioned by Joseph Smith, the prophet, to be a separate organization from the church he established. It was to be an organization that would eventually fill the earth, which would protect all peoples in their rights and freedoms. This organization and kingdom will be eventually governed over by Jesus Christ himself in the millennial day.

143H25-143H26, Heavenly Mother said this: "Joseph Smith, even though he died, is now resurrected and still retains these keys to the kingdom of God on the earth. Those who were apostles in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have recently lost their priesthood and their keys they had received through the prophets back to Joseph Smith.

When the Church of Christ is re-established again on the earth, prior to the second coming of Jesus Christ, Joseph Smith will ordain and confer these keys on the newly chosen apostle who will be appointed to be the head of this restored terrestrial church. He will then possess the keys of the kingdom of God. He will hold all the keys that Joseph was given by our holy messengers. He will act as the President and Prophet of the Church of Christ."

Perhaps the new leader of the Church of Christ will be the administrator of the Kingdom of God on the earth, under Jesus Christ its head.

194H27, from S:

"Email from S on 5-16-2021 entitled "Bless the whole of humanity"

"R,

I look forward to your record from today of the light of the thousand suns event. I wanted to share my experience from my prayer this morning.

5-16-21 AM

This morning at 6 am Mountain Daylight Time, the light of the thousand suns event occurred.

In prayer, I called upon my Heavenly Parents and asked to witness this great event. Heavenly Mother called me to come above this land of America. Standing high in the sky were both my Heavenly Parents. They were looking down upon this promised land. I next saw the heavens open to the west of our position. Raphael and countless celestial beings held up their swords and roses respectively. After lifting these up, they opened their vesture with their left hand and Heavenly Father's light beamed forth in all directions, filling the sky above and below them.

Heavenly Mother spoke: 'This moment transcends this time period to bless all of our children who have lived, live now, or will yet live on this earth. The great blessings your Heavenly Father and I have in store for our children will spring forth abundantly and its effects are eternal.'

At the next moment, I was inside my replicated self among the Northern tribes. I was pulling a handcart. (I wondered if I would have been pulling the handcart at that hour and felt the spirit that I was moving the cart at that time.) I saw a bright light fill the entire sky to the south. I stopped pulling my cart as did all the others around me. We had been told previously by our prophet leader to expect this sign in the heavens to appear today. He had told us it was God's sign that he was preparing the land of Zion, the promised land, for our return. We were told that it showed forth God's rich blessings intended to bless the whole of humanity from Adam and Eve until the final child is born on earth. All the people surrounding me knelt on the ground and prayed to God, giving thanks for these blessings. Angels were surrounding these individuals and the love of God was poured out upon them without measure.

I next returned to my replicated celestial being in the sky with Raphael. I perceived my thoughts contemplating my experience in both my mortal life in Arizona and my celestial replicated self among the Northern tribes. My heart was full of the love of my Heavenly Parents as I contemplated their great blessings springing forth to all of their children.

Heavenly Mother spoke again to my mind: 'This event initiates the great blessings your Heavenly Father and I have in store for the whole of humanity who will ever come to this earth. Our love has no bounds, and these blessings will reach into the eternities. The ordinances administered in our soon to be built celestial temple will grant the opportunity for exaltation and eternal life to our faithful children.' I was crying for joy as were others around me as I stood in the sky holding my sword above my head."

Thu, Jan 9, 2025
After reading the above references from the Book of Raphael, I found the great information about the Kingdom of God from two online sources.

I read in here and here the following quotes*:

* There is also third section that I am not quoting from below.

1) From the Joseph Smith Papers Administrative Records, pg 128, from Joseph Smith: "There is a distinction between the Church of God and the kingdom of God. The laws of the kingdom are not designed to affect our salvation hereafter. It is an entire, distinct and separate government."

2) From The Words of Joseph Smith, Ehat and Cook, eds.pg 367, from a statement in a discourse by Joseph Smith given on May 12th, 1844: "I calculate to be one of the instruments of setting up the kingdom of Daniel, by the word of the Lord, and I intend to lay a foundation that will revolutionize the whole world."

3) From Brigham Young, "The Kingdom of God," Journal of Discourses Vol 2, pg 309-317: "When the Kingdom of Heaven spreads over the whole earth, do you expect that all the people composing the different nations will become Latter-day Saints? If you do, you will be much mistaken. Do you expect that every person will be destroyed from the face of the earth, but the Latter-day Saints? If you do, you will be mistaken.

Jesus taught his disciples to pray that the kingdom of heaven might come upon the earth, and when it does come, you will find that it will be very different from what many people are imagining or expecting it will be. Its spirit will be to preserve their individual rights sacred to the inhabitants of the earth.

As observed by one of the speakers this morning, that kingdom grows out of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but it is not the church, for a man may be a legislator in that body which will issue laws to sustain the inhabitants of the earth in their individual rights, and still not belong to the Church of Jesus Christ at all.

The order of society will be as it is when Christ comes to reign a thousand years; there will be every sort of sect and party, and every individual following what he supposes to be the best in religion, and in everything else, similar to what it is now.

When the Kingdom of God is fully set up and established on the face of the earth, and takes the pre-eminence over all other nations and kingdoms, it will protect the people in the enjoyment of all their rights, no matter what they believe, what they profess, or what they worship. If they wish to worship a god of their own workmanship, instead of the true and living God, all right, if they will mind their own business and let other people alone.

And further, though a man may not even believe in any religion, it would be perfectly right, when necessary, to give him the privilege of holding a seat among that body which will make laws to govern all the nations of the earth and control those who make no profession of religion at all; for that body would be governed, controlled, and dictated to acknowledge others in those rights which they wish to enjoy themselves. Then the Latter-day Saints would be protected, if a kingdom of this kind was on the earth, the same as all other people.

It will be asked, 'What do you want to do, ye strangers from afar?' 'We want to live our own religion.' 'Will you bow the knee before God with us?' 'O yes, we would as soon do it as not;' and at that time every knee shall bow, and every tongue acknowledge that God who is the framer and maker of all things, the governor and controller of the universe. They will have to bow the knee and confess that He is God, and that Jesus Christ, who suffered for the sins of the world, is actually its Redeemer; that by the shedding of his blood he has redeemed men, women, children, beasts, birds, fish, the earth itself, and everything that John saw and heard praising in heaven.

They will ask, 'If I bow the knee and confess that he is that Savior, the Christ, to the glory of the Father, will you let me go home and be a Presbyterian?'

'Yes.'

'And not persecute me?'

'Never.'

'Won't you let me go home and belong to the Greek Church?'

'Yes.'

'Will you allow me to be a Friend Quaker, or a Shaking Quaker?'

'O yes, anything you wish to be, but remember that you must not persecute your neighbors, but must mind your own business, and let your neighbors alone, and let them worship the sun, moon, a white dog, or anything else they please, being mindful that every knee has got to bow and every tongue confess. When you have paid this tribute to the Most High, who created you and preserves you, you may then go and worship what you please, or do what you please, if you do not infringe upon your neighbors.'

Under the influence and power of the Kingdom of God, the Church of God will rest secure and dwell in safety, without taking the trouble of governing and controlling the whole earth. The Kingdom of God will do this; it will control the kingdoms of the world."

4) The Joseph Smith Papers: Administrative Records, Council of Fifty Minutes pg 97-100: "Joseph selected a council made up of fifty men which came to be known as the Council of Fifty, the purpose of which would be to protect the people in their rights and one day serve as the government for the kingdom of God on the earth. It was formed, in Joseph's words, for "the purpose of laying the foundation for a theocracy in preparation for the millennial reign of Jesus Christ." In short, it was intended to lay a foundation of freedom that would eventually fulfill the prophecy of Daniel, who foresaw in the last days the establishment of a kingdom ruled by God that would eventually supplant all other kingdoms on the earth.

It should be noted that this was not an attempt to institute Zion. The Lord has declared that only He can accomplish that purpose, and in His own good time He will. Still, a noble attempt by any people to live together in peace in spite of their differences would have demonstrated to the Lord that at least some of His followers were preparing themselves for that eventuality.

This council was made up of both Mormons and non-Mormons, indicative of Joseph's insistence that the kingdom of God was not to be an auxiliary of the Church. Membership in this governing body would fluctuate over time, the hope being that eventually more non-Mormons would be elected to serve, keeping it from remaining top-heavy with latter-day saints. This proposed commonwealth of equals may have been initiated with the help of Mormons at the beginning, but it was to be a completely non-denominational and non-partisan community. Said the prophet,

"There are men admitted members of this honorable council who are not members of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, neither profess any creed or religious sentiment whatever, to show that in the organization of this kingdom men are not consulted as to their religious opinions or notions in any shape or form whatever and that we act upon the broad and liberal principle that all men have equal rights, and ought to be respected...Hence the importance of thrusting from us every spirit of bigotry and intolerance towards a man's religious sentiments, that spirit which has drenched the world in blood -when a man feels the least temptation to such intolerance he ought to spurn it from him."

The prophet continued,

"I will appeal to every man in this council beginning at the youngest that when he arrives at the hoary age he will have to say that the principles of intolerance and bigotry never had a place in this kingdom.""

From R: After reading all of this, I believe now that the Kingdom of God on the earth has begun when Raphael placed the banner of the Republic on the celestial earth. The declaration that Raphael pronounced was for an eternal kingdom that will last forever, for it is celestial. This is the declaration given on May 16th, 2021
by the archangel Raphael: "While the stars remain, and the heavens send down dew upon the earth, so shall the union last" (see 194H17-194H19).

199E18, from Heavenly Father: "The barren land upon which you are kneeling tonight will become a flourishing community on the terrestrial earth. Our people will live in harmony and peace all over the terrestrial earth. The declaration you made upon the earth during the light of a thousand suns event will be fully realized (see your post 194H18-"While the stars remain, and the heavens send down dew upon the earth, so long shall the Union last."). The stars in your sky will still shine, and dew on the mortal terrestrial earth will still come down in the millennial day. Freedom and liberty will be given to all of our children in that day, even in a full measure in the Union established and protected by our Beloved Son."

Daniel 7:13-14
13 I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.

14 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.

53A1-53A19: "I remember last night to have gone again to the high mountaintop, after preparing myself for prayer. I did so again this morning. As I looked over the regions of the celestial world, there were no more clouds–but clear skies.

I prayed for Elohim to come, and my Heavenly Parents came. Jesus was not there this time. I looked into their eyes and faces–they were so comforting to me, just to have them before me!

I thanked them for my abundant blessings, particularly to be in their presence. I again confirmed that the web post #52 that I sent last night was pleasing to them. I asked some questions about what L mentioned in an email to me on 6-15-2017. She said in her email that "some significant ordinances have taken place this week regarding the opening of Adam-Ondi- Ahman." I prayed about what she said.

Here is what I received, about Adam-Ondi-Ahman:

• There was already a meeting at Adam-Ondi-Ahman on 6-7-2017, in the morning! I was there in my unconscious mind, but it hadn't been revealed to me until L tipped me off. I was an active participant in the meeting.

• There were also heads of dispensations attending too, including Michael or Adam, Noah or Gabriel, Enoch, Abraham, Moses, Jesus Christ, and Joseph Smith were there.

• This meeting was in fulfillment of Daniel 7:13-14 and D&C 116:1

Daniel 7:13-14–

"I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.

And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed."

D&C 116:1–

"Spring Hill is named by the Lord Adam-Ondi-Ahman, because, said he, it is the place where Adam shall come to visit his people, or the Ancient of Days shall sit, as spoken of by Daniel the prophet."

• There were no leader representatives of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints there, except for Joseph Smith the prophet.

• There were angels about us too, on the 'sidelines', watching and recording the events. All the remaining male and all the female archangels were there.

• In this small meeting, Michael asked those attending to sustain him as the head of the human family, and one also possessing all the keys to all dispensations since his day on the earth to the present day. All raised their right arm to the square, and said yes. I noted that I did the same.

• Michael then came before Jesus Christ, our Savior, and bent his right knee and bowed his head before Jesus Christ. He then said:

'My Savior, Jesus Christ, I come to thee now requesting the privilege to return to thee, all the keys of the human family and the keys of all dispensations, that I possess.'

• The great Jehovah then spoke:

'Yes, Michael my son, it is time to return them back to me, as directed by our Father.'

• Adam or Michael then stood, and Jesus then knelt before him, and Michael returned his keys back to Jesus Christ, by the laying on of hands, using words like this:

'Jesus Christ, the great Redeemer of mankind, I return the keys of the human family, and all the keys of dispensations, back to thee, as directed by the Father. In the name of the Father, in the name of the Mother, and in the name of the Son, Jesus Christ, Amen.'

• At that time our glorious Father and Mother in heaven appeared above their Beloved Son, and Heavenly Father spoke these words:

'All the keys are now returned again upon our Beloved Son on the earth. He now has the full commission and authority to gather our elect from all the ends of the earth, preparatory to returning to the earth in great glory.'

• All of us in the meeting then knelt before Jesus Christ, Heavenly Mother and Heavenly Father who then stood together in the air before us.

• The three Deity then ascended up in the sky together. We then all dispersed from Adam-Ondi-Ahman. The meeting was concluded.

I then returned, in my mind, to my location on the mountaintop before my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother. I asked my Father:

'Oh, my Father, did I accurately record the events of the meeting at Adam-Ondi-Ahman properly in my journal this morning?'

Heavenly Father confirmed that I had recorded all correctly, and that I did not leave out any significant thing that I should know about at that time.

I then asked him if I held any keys of any dispensation. He then spoke:

'Yes, Raphael, you have been commissioned to be the one who holds the keys to the establishment of the New Jerusalem and to the Church of the Firstborn on the earth. Even though you have agreed to return these back to Michael and then to Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son, you still also actively possess this commission and these priesthood keys. This is also true with our servant Joseph Smith Junior, through whom we will establish again the Church of Christ on the earth.'

I then thanked my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother for the great privilege to receive this revelation today in my prayer. I then closed my prayer in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Later, at evening prayer: I have wondered during the day when I received the keys from God or anyone else, that Heavenly Father told me this morning that I had been given. I reread again my journal entry this morning, and my commission from my journal entry on 5-15-2017.

Here is my question:

Q– Was I bestowed keys during the commission blessing on 5-14-2017, when Heavenly Father said he was empowering me to direct God's affairs as he stated? A– No, the Firstborn, even Jesus Christ, conferred these keys earlier that same morning before the great commission blessing. Jesus Christ conferred these keys on you in your unconscious mind in heaven, in the temple of God. He is the rightful one to confer these keys to his church, the Church of the Firstborn.

Q– So am I a head of a gospel dispensation? A– Yes. There were eight dispensation heads at Adam-Ondi-Ahman, and you were one of them. Your dispensation falls within that dispensation conferred on Joseph Smith the prophet, and is of the Dispensation of the Fulness of Times. However, your work will far exceed the Church of Christ, established through the prophet Joseph Smith. Your work will be in the establishment of the celestial city, called the New Jerusalem, and in the establishment of the Church of the Firstborn in the New Jerusalem. This is a new dispensation in conjuction with the one established by Jesus Christ through Joseph Smith the prophet. It does not have a separate name than the one already established, but is of such significance that new keys and empowerment from God were conferred upon you. You will keep and exercise all of these keys throughout the entire Millennium, and they will not be delegated to another.

I then humbly submitted myself to my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother. I thanked them for their great trust in me, their son. I expressed my feeling of not knowing much of what I was doing, at least in my conscious state. I felt their approval upon me. I then closed my prayer in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Note: I believe that the above event at Adam-Ondi-Ahman was done on a celestial spiritual plane on the earth, and was not visible to mortals. I also believe that this event will be repeated someday in the future in the telestial/terrestrial sphere. I believe too that Adam still retained his standing as the head of the human family, even though he returned all of the keys of the human family and keys of all dispensations to Jesus Christ.

Also note that I had originally left off Moses from the list of active participants, but have since been directed to correct this."

Daniel 9:25-27
25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.

26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.

27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

The king of the north sounds like Putin of Russia, who does what he wants and is rising to power and magnifying himself above all. The god of his fathers is Lenin, Marx and Stalin--he is now distancing himself from these 'gods of his fathers'.

2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.

Michael (Adam), the archangel, will be in charge of defeating Satan at the end of the millennium. There will be a resurrection of the just and the unjust (see verse 2), which the latter doesn't happen at the time of Christ's coming at the beginning of the millennium. The just will be resurrected at the time of their death during the millennium. Those whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life will be delivered by Michael, from the great battle at the end of the millennium, and shine forth in a glorious resurrection.

From the time of Daniel (around 540 BC) it will be 2500 years when the king (beast) shall have power over the holy people, or 1960.??

Daniel 12:9-10
9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.

10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.

165J6-165J12: "Heavenly Father then spoke to me: 'Raphael, my son, we have revealed many visions, dreams, and truths to our holy prophets that are recorded in your Bible. Daniel was one of these, our faithful servants. He was shown that in your day the world would be in great turmoil and all peoples would be distressed. There would also arise kings and leaders who were deceptive, and lied to both the people and other leaders of nations that they made alliances with. All of these were controlled by Satan, for he is the father of all lies and desires to destroy our children in mortality and lead them away captive, temporally and spiritually.

Those who will be destroyed in the last days are the wicked who have demonstrated they won't come to us, their God, or desire not the things of God that you cherish. There will be many devastations caused by these wicked leaders that will kill much of humanity, even until only the elect are saved, and they are barely spared many of these devastations. We will protect and preserve them by our matchless power, working through our servants whom we have assigned to bless them and protect them by our power.

When you read quickly the Book of Daniel this morning, you wondered who these various leaders were that Daniel saw in his visions. Some of these won't be identified by us until after they come and go, after nations arise and fall.

However, the main message of all his visions is that these will be very difficult days ahead for all mankind. His visions of the leaders and nations, and their actions, are sealed up until the time of the end. I have prepared one who will in the future interpret correctly his many visions and link them to the various leaders and nations that are in your current and future days.

What the messenger said I say to you also:

Daniel 12:9-10

"And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.

Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand."

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his revelation to me! I will now go my way and realize Daniel's visions are closed to me, in a large part, until the one chosen by God correctly interprets them, at some point in the future.

I felt at peace and confirmed this was the correct message from my Heavenly Father this morning. I then looked up from my seer stone and I was in my private room where I was writing all of this."

25A1-25A3: I have two more days of my purification process with frankincense. I will be done on Sunday. On Monday, I was told by Emily that I needed to blow my trumpet of God again. Here is what I asked and received today:

Q– Is this true, that I should blow the trumpet of God on Monday? A- Yes

Q– Are there others who blow this with me? A– No

Q– Where do I blow it, and when? A– Blow it on the summit of Mt Timpanogos, which overlooks both the Salt Lake and Utah Valleys. Blow it at 10:00 am in your full vestures.

Q– Do I blow it in a certain direction? A– Blow it first north, then turn to the south and blow, then turn to the west and blow, and finally turn to the east, to where the New Jerusalem will be build, and blow. Blow into the horizon. This is in fulfillment of Joel 2:1– 'Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the Lord cometh, for it is nigh at hand;'

Note: I have my scriptures on ChurchofJesusChrist.org, where I put my notes in different verses. Here is what I had written about Joel 2:1-5, years ago– 'USA attacked, nuclear war, burning as a result of the weapons of mass destruction on the land. This is one of the times that is called the day of the Lord, the initial attack on the land of America. I think the nuclear fire is referred to as horses and chariots on tops of mountains that leap and devour the stubble.'"

USA attacked, nuclear war, burning as a result of the weapons of mass destruction on the land. This is one of the times that is called the day of the Lord, the initial attack on the land of America. I think the nuclear fire is referred to as horses and chariots on tops of mountains that leap and devour the stubble.

164G5-164G13: "Heavenly Mother then spoke: 'Raphael next Tuesday morning at 6:00 am Mountain Daylight time, Uriel will sound his trumpet of God above the spire of the Salt Lake Temple. He will blow in four directions, for all the world to hear, even as you recorded from Heavenly Father last March 30th. All of the earth will hear in their unconscious minds, but some of our elect living on the earth will hear audibly in their physical bodies even as you hear sounds now on earth. All will hear at the same time, whether asleep or awake, who dwell on the earth, even at the very time of Uriel's blowing. Everyone who has heard our voice, the voice of the Spirit in their lives, will be receptive to hear audibly Uriel's trumpet when he blows in the three spiritual realms on the earth, even as I said to you on 4-2-2020 (see your post 155I7: "When our fourth angel Uriel blows his trumpet on June 30th, 2020
, all those on the earth will hear and wonder. He will blow in the celestial, terrestrial and telestial realms on the earth.")

All of our premortal spirits living on our celestial orb will hear Uriel's trumpet in that realm. All of the post-mortal spirits in the paradise of God will hear Uriel's trumpet in their terrestrial realm. All of our elect who dwell on the earth may hear with their audible hearing if they have prepared themselves to hear our voice of the Spirit in their lives. All on earth will hear in their unconscious minds, in their telestial realm. All of the devils will hear in the telestial world where they dwell. They will know their time is very short before they will be locked up in the bottomless pit by you, Raphael.

Finally, all of our resurrected and translated sons and daughters will hear in their celestial or terrestrial realms in which they live and labor, whether on earth or on our celestial orb.

Uriel's trumpet blowing will herald the great day of intense spiritual darkness and even confusion upon the earth.

This event was prophesied by our prophet Joel:

Joel 2:1-2–

"Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the Lord cometh, for it is nigh at hand;

A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations."

After this great day of spiritual darkness falls upon your land, and upon the entire earth, your land will be attacked by invading armies and occupied (see Joel 2: 2-11).

One of the purposes of our angels blowing their trumpets is to call our elect to repentance, even before your land is occupied and many parts ravaged. We desire that our chosen elect repent, and call upon us in mighty prayer and fasting.

Joel 2:12-14

"Therefore also now, saith the Lord, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:

And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the Lord your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.

Who knoweth if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him; even a meat offering and a drink offering unto the Lord your God?"

Raphael, we will hear the pleas of our people, and be gracious to the humble, meek and lowly who come to us with open hearts and minds. We have shut many of their gatherings across your land and the world, so that they may be inclined to lean upon us instead of others or the arm of flesh. We have made quiet time in their lives more available, so that they may be more inclined to seek us. We will bring forth calamities in their lives so that our elect may, in their distress, call upon us and receive our peace and Spirit in their lives. We will be available to all in these, their days of tribulation.'"

Joel 2:4-11
4 The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run.

5 Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.

6 Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness.

7 They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks:

8 Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded.

9 They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief.

10 The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining:

11 And the Lord shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the Lord is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?

181G4-181G20: "Heavenly Father spoke to me: 'Raphael, we have both come in answer to your prayer this morning. Great darkness is now upon the earth. You are called upon to blow again my trumpet of God that I gave to you nearly 4 1/2 years ago. This will be following the blowing of Uriel's trumpet which herald the great day of spiritual darkness upon the earth (see your post 164H8 to 164H10). Your trumpet blast, blown towards the planets Saturn and Jupiter, on this the shortest daylight day on the earth, will bring forth the armies that will invade your land. This will, like Uriel's trumpet blast, be in fulfillment of Joel 2:1, and specifically for your trumpet alarm tonight in Joel 2:2-11.

Joel 2:1-11

"Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the Lord cometh, for it is nigh at hand;

A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.

A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.

The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run.

Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.

Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness.

They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks:

Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded.

They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief.

The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining:

And the Lord shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the Lord is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?"

Heavenly Mother then spoke to me: 'Raphael, if our elect humble themselves, and call upon us in the sincerity of their hearts, we will hear their pleas and prayers. We will come to them with our angels and guardian spirits to protect them. I will send my Holy Ghost to comfort them and calm their anxieties and concerns. We will prepare their hearts and minds for a better world soon coming upon the land. Our great purposes in their temporal and spiritual salvation will be fulfilled, for they are our elect. Our elect hear our voice and hearken to our words.

Tonight your Father and I will be at your side when you blow the trumpet of God into the night sky towards the conjunction of the planets Saturn and Jupiter. You will be doing our will and fulfilling our commands.'

I thanked my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother for their words. I said I loved them and would be their servant in doing all that they ask of me.

They both smiled and a bright light then engulfed them so I couldn't see them. When the light dispersed, they were both departed. I closed my prayer and started my new day on earth.

Evening-This late afternoon at 5:42 p.m. in my area it was sufficiently dark to see Jupiter and Saturn very close to each other in the southwest sky. I had just returned with my wife giving neighbors some homemade bread as a Christmas gift she cooked. We came out and looked at the conjunction in the sky. My wife and son went inside and I stayed in my backyard, It was extremely clear and about 38 degrees F.

I then replicated myself high above my property, in my minds' eye, like I had done previously when blowing the trumpet of God. This time I was alone and saw the two planets in the growing night sky. Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother then immediately came in front of me in shining robes. They smiled upon me and then Heavenly Father came to my left side and Heavenly Mother to my right. They faced Saturn and Jupiter with me.

I then reached behind my angel vestures, under my cape, and pulled out the trumpet of God. I brought it forward, facing the two planets, and blew three distinct blows for about 5 seconds each, on the same note. I took a breath between each one. When finished, my Heavenly Parents came together again in front of me. My Father spoke:

'Raphael, you have fulfilled our commandment to blow the trumpet of God this evening as we have directed you. We will return together to you this evening in your prayer tonight.'

With that they held hands and went backwards into the night sky and were very quickly gone.

This entire event took about one or two minutes total. I knew I had fulfilled God's command to herald the coming forth of foreign troops upon the land, war, and the destruction of my nation, the United States of America.

Tonight I came to the domed room on the celestial orb. As I walked up the path to enter, I noticed my cape blowing behind me. I walked up to the side of the dome and an opening appeared, through which I walked.

I came into the center and knelt on both knees. I asked for my Heavenly Parents to come.

My Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother appeared in front of me in the air, about a foot above the floor!

Heavenly Mother spoke to me: 'Raphael, we are pleased how you obeyed our command to blow three times on the trumpet of God towards Saturn and Jupiter in the evening sky. Although only you and a few other mortals knew about your actions tonight, this was a significant event, and was needful for us to initiate the coming tribulations upon your land and the people. Now we will initiate several events in rapid succession to bring about the cleansing of the wicked, the destruction of modern Babylon, and the overthrow of your country. We will soon expose the secret works of men and women who have been traitors to your country and citizens, and liars, and who have hid great evil from the view of the people to get gain, power and favor. Their destiny is among the vile and corrupt, and those who love evil and care not for others unless they may use them for their own gain and advancement.

We will hasten the time when the foundations of Zion will be initiated. Keep your mind and heart on this coming time in not many days in the future!'"

This sounds like nuclear fallout, but can also be applied to the invading army which will follow.

25B18-25B28: "High on the Mountain Top, page 5 LDS Hymnal

Resolutely 1.High on the mountain top A banner is unfurled. Ye nations, now look up; It waves to all the world. In Deseret’s sweet, peaceful land, On Zion’s mount behold it stand!

R: The mountain top is Mount Timpanogos, overlooking the Salt Lake and Utah Valleys. The banner will be brought to Raphael by Heavenly Mother, for unfurling, with a message from Heavenly Mother to her children. The banner will open up and wave tomorrow, once in place on the mountain top. Today there is a great peace in the land of Deseret, or in Utah.

2.For God remembers still His promise made of old That he on Zion’s hill Truth’s standard would unfold! Her light should there attract the gaze Of all the world in latter days.

R: He who is on Zion's hill, proclaiming truth's standard is Jesus Christ, assisted by R, and others who reveal truth to all the world, which has never before been revealed, in this, the dispensation of the fulness of times.

3.His house shall there be reared, His glory to display, And people shall be heard In distant lands to say: We’ll now go up and serve the Lord, Obey his truth and learn his word.

R: Stanzas 3 and 4 are talking all about the New Jerusalem, the glorious city and temple of our God, the church of the Firstborn.

4.For there we shall be taught The law that will go forth, With truth and wisdom fraught, To govern all the earth. Forever there his ways we’ll tread, And save ourselves with all our dead.

R: Jesus Christ will rule from Zion, the New Jerusalem. There we will be taught, and there will the truth and wisdom go forth to all the earth.

From R's Pocket Journal, 9-19-2016, 8:30 am

Joel 2:11–'And the Lord shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the Lord is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?'

Q– Is the voice in this verse the actual voice of Jesus, or is it the trumpet of God, blown today? A– It is the trumpet of God, blown today.

Q– Is the camp in the verse, the warrior angels who are great and many? A– Yes!

Joel 2:15– 'Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly' Q– Do we need to fast until after the solemn assembly this morning at 10:00 am? A– Yes, for it will be a solemn gathering.

This morning, when I prayed, Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother were dressed in white, looking somber. Jesus was also there, in red garments before me, on the right hand side of Heavenly Father. They all three were before me. They didn't speak.

Joel 2:1-17 is now happening, verse 18 is a transition verse. The rest of the chapter is the deliverance part which is future. I believe we will soon enter bondage to the northern army.

Q– Can I learn and prepare for what will happen at 10:00 am? A– Yes

Q– Will Jesus Christ be there in red apparel? A– Yes

Q– Will Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother be there also, on Mount Zion (Mount Timpanogos)? A– Yes

Q– Do I need to worry about where the warrior angels will be? A– No–R.B. will be fully aware of where to place the warrior angels

Q– About the banner from Heavenly Mother: May I know anything about this ahead of time? A– Yes (I felt to write now. . . ) 'After you blow the trumpet of God, in all four directions, then Heavenly Mother will step forth with the unfurled banner and pole. She will hand this to you. Place it in the rock of the mountain at the summit, next to the book where people record their names. Place the pole into the rock, several feet down in the rock. The banner and pole will then expand to be a very large pole and banner. Stand back and then a breeze will blow towards the east, towards the New Jerusalem. The banner will unfurl before all of you, and before all nations to see who have eyes to spiritually see.'

Q– May I know the message on the banner before the banner expands and blows in the breeze? A– You will have to wait.

Q– Once I read the words on the banner, is there more? A– No. The vision will close for all of you. However, you may recall it all again in your meditations and prayers."

Mon, Apr 15, 2024
The attack on the USA (whore and Babylon) will be by nuclear war, skies will be darkened. Some will call it the day of the Lord. However, the true day of the Lord is when Jesus comes in his glory in the clouds of heaven.

189I2-189I5,from Heavenly Father: "I came to the fountain of living water near the temple doors on the celestial orb. I drank living water, knelt on the ground, and then asked for my Heavenly Father to come to me. He then stepped out of the misty spray from the fountain, and stood before me: 'Raphael, what we have revealed to you of the last day is very good news for the righteous elect, and very bad news for the wicked.

Joel 2:11

"And the Lord shall utter his voice before his army (our angels and celestial servants): for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the Lord is great and terrible; and who can abide it?"

Our intent is to completely convert the entire earth into a terrestrial world that will house our chosen elect, while the telestial wicked will perish. This will all be completed when Jesus Christ comes again in glory to the earth.

Your Heavenly Mother, Jesus Christ, and I are in charge of the destinies of all our children who now live among the wicked nations of the earth. The future earth will be a safe haven for these that we have chosen. Keep your mind and heart set upon Zion, for these truths we have revealed to you surely shall be. All of our words we have revealed through you and our prophets will be fulfilled.'"

127E8-127E12, from Heavenly Mother: "It will seem to the world that we, their Gods are silent as the world free-falls into sin and worldwide calamities. However, our work is merely in the preparation state, in secret, until we reveal our strange work and our strange act (see Isaiah 28:21). We will allow this time of preparation to continue in secret, away from the scrutiny of man, until our revealing. Each one who is being prepared is able to see only their own path, or that which we individually reveal to them. Your views are the broadcast and most expansive, for you have an overall leadership role in orchestrating many of our works.

Your role will continue to be done from celestial realms on the earth, as will be the holy angels whom we have called. This will continue to be done in your unconscious minds, in celestial realms. On earth, in your mortal state, you and our mortal angels will continue living quiet lives. In heaven you will continue to act and work in increasing amounts, with multiple replications, until you are able to do all of our work we ask of you.

Part of building a Zion society is to have Zion leaders and servants who will gather our elect, the pure in heart. You, who are our leaders, need to be very humble and learn individually from us, your Heavenly Parents. We desire each of you to be diligent in seeking our Holy Spirit, and in being quick to respond to our directions. Our voice needs to be very familiar to you. Upon you I will also pour out my Holy Ghost, a more intense form of our Spirit. You will each be led to act, to learn and grow into your glorious callings! Our army will therefore become very great, all hidden and poised for the great day of our revealing:

Joel 2:11,15-18–"And the Lord shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the Lord is great and very terrible, and who can abide it?

...Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly. (see post 25A1, post 25B22-25B24)

Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet.

Let the priests, the ministers of the Lord (Raphael, these are our holy angels and all our elect servants we have called to gather Israel), weep between the porch and the altar (or between their mortal dwellings and the spiritual realms where they work and labor), and let them say, Spare thy people, O Lord, and give not thine heritage a reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, where is their God? (Many will wonder where God is when calamity comes.)

Then will the Lord be jealous for his land, and pity his people." (comments in parenthesis added by Heavenly Mother).

Raphael, we encourage you and our elect servants to continue in humility and prayer, seeking continually, on a steady and regular basis, the face of God. We will give each of you revelation, and help you to grow into your individually callings and commissions. We have full confidence and trust in you!'"

The Lord uses this invading army (the beast) for the purpose of cleansing the land. The army is likened to a caterpiller and a palmerworm which eats up everything before him. See Isaiah 30:23-25 for the promises of abundance for the righteous in that day.

Joel 2:28-29
28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:

29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.

104B3-104B8, from Heavenly Father: "'Raphael, we will appear to everyone of our elect children as I now appear to you, according to their desires. You are clear and so perceptive now! We have led you to the point where your whole body is open to us, to perceive and hear us. This is a very real sensation you have and is due to our quickening influence on your soul as you come to us in such faith. In this state, I am able to show you all things whatever I wish to share with you.

This is the same state that a few of my ancients have been in, to come unto our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ:

Ether 3:26-28 (Heavenly Father's comments in parenthesis)

"For he had said unto him (the Brother of Jared) in times before, that if he would believe in him that he could show unto him all things–it should be shown unto him; therefore the Lord could not withhold anything from him, for he knew that the Lord could show him all things.

And the Lord said unto him: Write these things and seal them up; and I will show them in mine own due time unto the children of men.

And it came to pass that the Lord commanded him that he should seal up the two stones which he had received, (the Urim and Thummin) and show them not, until the Lord should show them unto the children of men."

Raphael, the Brother of Jared received the Urim and Thummin from Jesus Christ for the aid in translating these great revelations when needed in your day. You do not need any such implement, for you are writing my words in a language easily read and understood in your day. Your revelations are greater than those revealed to the Brother of Jared, however. They are also given to you gradually, over the many days and weeks we come unto you and that you write them. They are part of this era when all things will be revealed to man on the earth:

D&C 121:28-32

"A time to come in the which nothing shall be withheld, whether there be one God or many gods, they shall be manifest.

All thrones and dominions, principalities and powers, shall be revealed and set forth upon all who have endured valiantly for the gospel of Jesus Christ.

And also, if there be bounds set to the heavens or to the seas, or to the dry land, or to the sun, moon, or stars–

All the times of their revolutions, all the appointed days, months, and years, and all the days of their days, months, and years, and all their glories, laws, and set times, shall be revealed in the days of the dispensation of the fullness of times–

According to that which was ordained in the midst of the Council of the Eternal God of all other gods before this world was, that should be reserved unto the finishing and the end thereof, when every man shall enter into his eternal presence and into his immortal rest."

Raphael, we have held back some of our revelations to come forth through you at this time, never before revealed. Now all of our secrets will be revealed to man, all done as we desire prior to the great return in glory of our Beloved Son, again to the earth.

Joel 2: 28-29

"And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:

And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit."

Raphael, the enlightenment from our Spirit into your soul that you wrote about in your journal this morning is very real and true! We will pour this same Spirit out upon all our elect who come unto us as have you, being open and diligent in seeking us. Nothing will be withheld in these days. Great are your blessings to receive these wonderful truths!'

I bowed my head and thanked my Father deeply who stood before me in great light and majesty! I feel very honored and humbled to be one of those old men that Joel prophesied of. I am so energized to receive so much from my Gods! I knew my prayer had come to an end. I then closed my prayer and got started on my busy day ahead."

186I15-186I23, from Heavenly Mother: "She then spoke to my mind: 'Raphael, we never intended that all of our revelations should go through one man for the organization of a large family (like in the days of Adam) or for a church. We want all to be prophets and revelators! Our intention is for every one of our faithful elect to be so endowed with our Holy Spirit, and become in tune to us, that we may as freely speak to them as we speak with you, on a regular basis. Whenever we speak to one, our words will be the same that we speak to another. This is now the great day of our visions and revelations being poured out upon our faithful elect.

Joel 2:28-29

"And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:

And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit."

In this way we may spread forth our truths quickly and thoroughly upon the earth, even at this, the beginning of the terrestrial earth. All will know us, their Gods, in that day.

Jeremiah 31:33-34

"But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.

And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity and I will remember their sin no more."

Whenever we might confirm our words through one of these, and they share this with their neighbors, they too will confirm from us these truths. In this way, may every truth be established, even by our Holy Spirit that will be among our people in great abundance. We will speak and confirm the same words to all, and all will know us, from the least to the greatest. They too will receive our words that we have given through you, and receive of our witness of peace to their souls that these are our words. Thus will all know us.'

I told my Heavenly Mother how wonderful this future day will be! I said I want so much to live in that free and holy time, free that we may openly share our personal revelations, that we all may receive in abundance the Holy Spirit of God to our own souls, and to know we are being led and guided correctly. What unity and oneness we will then feel, not only with our Gods, but with our fellowmen!

Heavenly Mother stopped walking and faced me. 'Raphael, this day of abundant revelation has already begun with your small group, and with our elect on the earth. This will continue to grow in abundance, even until you are in Zion.

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."

Our Zion will soon come to earth again, even among our humble elect who seek us, their Gods, and do what we say.'"

Tue, Apr 16, 2024
In Oct 2001 General Conference, Pres. Gordon B Hinckley stated: "The vision of Joel has been fulfilled wherein he declared:

“And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:

“And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit."

On AVOW, on Feb 22nd, 2015
, I read this: "it was against church policy to ordain anyone with a black lineage to the priesthood. Doing so would get you brought before a church court for not following the council of the Prophet. Then in 1978 that all changed when Spencer W. Kimball, joined by his counselors and the Quorum of the Twelve, announced that the restriction had been lifted and that we were in a new era of church doctrine in this matter. I don't need to fit that together with the counsel previously given by the church. The Lord runs the program and he changed the rules.

It is possible that in times previous we had individuals within the church who were so faithful, like the Brother of Jared, that the Lord could not withhold revelation from them regarding that which is to come. Yet He told His prophet to counsel these members that they were to hold their tongues because the time was not yet for such information to come forth to the general membership of the church.

Now we are in a different time, and we have a different mandate. President Gordon B. Hinckley in October 2001 plainly told us that the "vision of Joel has been fulfilled..." That means the members of the church who have received knowledge from heaven are no longer under a restriction to hold their tongues and not speak of such things. The Lord didn't ask President Hinckley to specifically address the earlier counsel, He simply gave new counsel through his current prophet. I do not have to fit the two together. I have to follow the Prophet and "stay in the boat."

147K22-147K24, from Heavenly Mother: "'Raphael, the long-awaited day of the outpouring of my Spirit is soon at hand, and abundant healing will be for every need for the righteous.'

I then thought immediately of Joel 2: 28-31:

"And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:

And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.

And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.

The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the Lord come."

I felt satisfied that what I had received today was of God and was true, and would surely come to pass. . ."

______________________________

Joel 2:30-31
30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.

31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the Lord come.

Tue, Apr 16, 2024
The sun will be darkened and the moon turned to blood (both signs together at the same time).

Space.com explains about the total lunar eclipse on 10/8/2014: "And indeed, during a lunar eclipse, the sun and moon are exactly 180 degrees apart in the sky. In a perfect alignment like this (called a "syzygy"), such an observation would seem impossible.

But thanks to Earth's atmosphere, the images of both the sun and moon are apparently lifted above the horizon by atmospheric refraction. This allows people on Earth to see the sun for several extra minutes before it actually has risen and the moon for several extra minutes after it has actually set.

Comment from Avow on 10/12/2014: "The sun is only a little visible, with the earth's shadow causing the moon to appear as blood and the sun darkened. This seems to be literally fulfilling the prophecy of "the sun shall be darkened and the moon turned to blood, before the great and dreadful day of the Lord", but it is fulfilling it in a way I had not thought. It is happening all at the same time, in the same event!" I believe this is statement is true, and that this week this has been fulfilled. The great and terrible day of the Lord is soon at hand.

Joel 2:32
32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call.

Tue, Apr 16, 2024
The remnant spoken of in verse 32, are those who live in mortality the church of the Firstborn. These are they who will also be instrumental in establishing the New Jerusalem in the Jackson Co, Missouri area. God will call his servants to do this great work, prior to the second coming of Jesus Christ.

The deliverance will be that God will change the elect from telestial beings into terrestrial beings. Thus changed, they will be able to move into the terrestrial mortal realm where is established mount Zion and the New Jerusalem. The wicked cannot go there, only those whom God has changed to be terrestrial mortal beings. This is the strange work of God, hidden from the world. This is how the elect are gathered into safe garners, according to the parable of the wheat and tares. This is true deliverance. The wicked who are telestial, when Jesus comes in his glory in the clouds of heaven, will be destroyed, whereas the righteous who are terrestrial will be caught up in the clouds and descend to the terrestrial earth with Christ.

27C3-27C4: "The kingdom of God has been established in the telestial world. Now that the seventh seal is opened, the kingdom of heaven will come to the earth in the church of the Firstborn. This will grow out of the kingdom of God (LDS church) on the earth by the remnant whom the Lord calls (Joel 2:32– 'And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call.').

The church of the Firstborn is the same church that was established in heaven in the premortal life. This is the kingdom of heaven. The kingdom of God was never organized in heaven, for it was organized on earth through the prophet Joseph Smith in these last days. The kingdom of God and the kingdom of heaven are separate."

Joel 3:9-15
9 Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up:

10 Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.

11 Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O Lord.

12 Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about.

13 Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the fats overflow; for their wickedness is great.

14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.

15 The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.

Tue, Apr 16, 2024
War is coming, prepare by arming yourselves in righteousness. It will come when the whore and Babylon in America are ripe in iniquity, when wickedness is great. Burning from the Lord causes sun and moon to be darkened. The heathen (the invading army) will gather in the land of Zion (v 12) in the valley of Jehosaphat, then will the Lord thrust in his sickle and reap and destroy them all. The sign of thrusting in the sickle is unique to this period of time and can be used between scriptures to link them together. See Rev 14:16-19.

Joel 3:15-17
15 The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.

16 The Lord also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the Lord will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.

17 So shall ye know that I am the Lord your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more.

Tue, Apr 16, 2024
The destroying army is really the work of the Lord, for He will roar, the earth shall shake. There is one hope for His people: reliance upon the Lord. The invading army (strangers) shall not pass through her (Zion) any more. The holy mountain is in America, for it is a description of Zion which refers to America. The Lord will speak both from Zion (America) and Jerusalem (land of current day Israel).

This verse also refers to the millennial day when Jesus Christ will dwell in Zion, the New Jerusalem. It will be holy, and will have a celestial holy temple there, on the top of mount Zion. Those who come there will be approved of Jesus Christ, the king in Z

18 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the rivers of Judah shall flow with waters, and a fountain shall come forth of the house of the Lord, and shall water the valley of Shittim.

Tue, Apr 16, 2024
The mountains of Israel shall bring forth wine (precious metals). This might be a scripture to fulfill the Relief Mine prophecies.

The fountain in the New Jerusalem shall come forth from the temple of the Lord, the celestial temple on the temple mount in the New Jerusalem. Living celestial waters shall flow from this fountain into all the world, being changed to living terrestrial water at the boundaries of the temple mount when these waters exit into the terrestrial mortal realm of the earth. From there it shall cover the entire earth.

Tue, Apr 16, 2024
The Lord will cleanse the land of sinners, those who have not taken upon themselves his name through the Son (atonement), for they will not repent (see D&C 29:17). These are the telestial, for they will all be finally destroyed at the great and last day of the Lord when he comes to earth in glory, to save the elect and destroy the wicked.

Amos 3:7
7 Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.

Mon, Oct 24, 2022
The correct translation to the Lord is "sod", meaning council of the Gods. What the Gods decide is what is revealed to their servants, the prophets.

156K5-156K18, from Heavenly Father: "You reside here on our celestial orb in your replicated state, even while your mortal body lives on the earth. We have withheld from you all the past, present and future in your conscious mind, for you are still mortal. We also reveal all things to you, whether past, present or future, even according to our will. However, we who are your Gods see all past and future events, easily as we see the present.

We therefore may guide you and reveal to you things and events in your own future that you cannot see. As you come to us in prayer, we will reveal to you hidden things, as we desire.

It is our intent to show you hidden things, even before they happen. We also show you things as they really are, for there is so much disinformation, or falsehoods that you read or hear about, that it is difficult to know the truth of what is really happening in your mortal world, or what has happened in the past.

Amos 3:7–"Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets."

You are our prophet of the Church of the Firstborn, our celestial church. Through you we will manifest things to come before they come. We ask you to record our revelations in your journal to verify to the world that you are our prophet.

We also will reveal all things, according to the diligent heed and petitions of our own elect. As they inquire of us, we too will guide and direct them with revelation, giving them precious knowledge and truths. We are free with our truths that we reveal, and do not limit ourselves, but give revelation upon revelation to the humble and open who seek us.

2 Nephi 29:8-9, 11–

"Wherefore murmur ye, because that ye shall receive more of my word? Know ye not that the testimony of two nations (or individuals) is a witness unto you that I am God, that I remember one nation (or person) like unto another? Wherefore, I speak the same words unto one nation (or individual) like unto another. And when the two nations shall run together the testimony of the two nations shall run together also.

And I do this that I may prove unto many that I am the same yesterday, today, and forever; and that I speak forth my words according to mine own pleasure. And because that I have spoken one word ye need not suppose that I cannot speak another; for my work is not yet finished; neither shall it be until the end of man, neither from that time henceforth and forever. . .

For I command all men (and women), both in the east and in the west, and in the north, and in the south, and in the islands of the sea, that they shall write the words which I speak unto them; for out of the books which shall be written I will judge the world, every man according to their works, according to that which is written." (words in parenthesis added by Heavenly Father).

Raphael, it is time for those who support you, and all our mortal angels and celestial servants on the earth, and even all of our elect, to record their own revelations that we give to them. We also want them to write the events of these times they live in, for their benefit and for those of future generations.

Your Heavenly Mother, Jesus Christ and I are free with our truths and revelations, and we will share these with all people who humbly and openly seek us in the energy of their soul. Our words will be congruent and a witness of each other's revelations.

You are the head at this time, and we will continue to share with you in particular, the events and issues that are secret and hidden. Your record will reveal things never yet revealed to man:

D&C 101:32-34–

"Yea, verily I say unto you, in that day when the Lord shall come, he shall reveal all things—

Things which have passed, and hidden things which no man knew, things of the earth, by which it was made, and the purpose and the end thereof—

Things most precious, things that are above, and things that are beneath, things that are in the earth, and upon the earth, and in heaven."

It is good that those on your small email list share with you our choice revelations and experiences that we have shared with them. Continue to share these in your posts, as they give you their permission. These other records are our second witnesses to your words, and should be compiled in part in one record, particularly now that these tribulations are intensifying. These records and posts will buoy you all up and strengthen each of you while you live through these calamities coming to the earth. They will also buoy and strengthen the faith of future generations.

Be faithful and obedient, and we will continue to reveal all things to you and those we love who support you. We will never leave your side!'

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his words today! I felt so connected with him, even as we walked and he talked openly with me!"

Amos 8:11-12
11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord:

12 And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it.

163F6-163F7, from Heavenly Mother: "There is a lot of confusion in your day in finding truth. There is so much information that is false, inspired by the adversary, even Satan. Our children are confused and need clarity in order to sift through all the voices they hear. They need understanding, which is what we will give them as they seek it. I will send my servant Mary to help teach them the truth, to bring our many truths into their minds, to help them move forward in a clear direction of truth from God.

Amos spoke of your current day:

Amos 8:11-12

"Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord:

And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it.""

165B21-165B24: "Heavenly Mother then spoke to me: 'Raphael, you are correct that my intense light is absorbed by the dark fog below us, so that it doesn't reach the people anymore. However, we will part the blackness were our elect to pray to us, in humility and a desire to act on whatever we may say to them. We might also send an angel, or celestial servant to enlighten them in their spiritual confusion and darkness.

This morning you heard your archangel brother, Uriel, blow his trumpet of God in the celestial realm. This was such a significant signal that your Heavenly Father and I invited many of the hosts of heaven, in our celestial realms on the earth, to come and hear. He also blew the trumpet of God in the terrestrial and telestial realms. There were many in those realms that also heard. We will honor the request of those who come to us, in petitioning prayer in any of these three realms, and allow them to hear what you and the others heard.

This prevalent darkness that fills your land like dark fog is a spiritual darkness. The people will not receive my spiritual light like they had before. They will run to and fro, and many will casually seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it (see Amos 8:12). To receive my light and our revelation, they need to approach us in great humility and agree to keep our commandments and follow our directions when we reveal them.

However, even with this thick darkness, my corona fire will still burn within our elect and protect them. We will minister more and more to them through our angels and celestial servants. We are determined to help them in the struggle they will have in the midst of this darkness.'"

Micah 3:2-3
2 Who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones;

3 Who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them; and they break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron.

Sat, May 11, 2024
These actions are figurative, but done in similar ways in the last days by those we sustain as prophets, seers and revelators. These actions include promoting the sinister Covid-19 injections, extorting of donations from the members by changing the tithing doctrine, linking hand in hand with the globalist and Babylon, caving into LGBT demands to be acceptable in the current society, and hiding their true motives. They are like wolves in sheep's clothing ("Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves" Matthew 7:15). These are those Jesus referred to as "false prophets shall arise, and shall deceive many" (JS Matthew 1:9) and "For in those days there shall also arise false Christ, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders, insomuch, that, if possible, they shall deceive the very elect, who are the elect according to the covenant." (JS Matthew 1:22).

6 Therefore night shall be unto you, that ye shall not have a vision; and it shall be dark unto you, that ye shall not divine; and the sun shall go down over the prophets, and the day shall be dark over them.

7 Then shall the seers be ashamed, and the diviners confounded: yea, they shall all cover their lips; for there is no answer of God.

Thu, Nov 16, 2023
In prayer at church, I asked about how could President Nelson speak pleasing words as well as have an ulterior purpose. I was directed to his references to peace in a recent conference talk, and looked up peace in the topical guide. I was led to Micah 3 which provided the answer to my question.

In the last days, the prophets will also make the people error, as in a former day. These prophets may declare "peace", but there shall be no vision, nor connection with God ("ye shall not divine"). This day will be dark over these prophets, and over those who follow their counsels.

This is our day: the seers shall be ashamed, and divine direction confounded, for there is no answer from God.

Micah 3:11-12
11 The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet will they lean upon the Lord, and say, Is not the Lord among us? none evil can come upon us.

12 Therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of the forest.

Sun, Nov 19, 2023
The heads of Jacob are those who were ordained as apostles, leaders of the LDS people. Micah says they build up Zion with blood and iniquity. They divine for money (extortion of tithing, changed from the original pattern given from God by revelation). They will not lean upon the Lord, but upon Babylon and their money they extort. They take comfortable seats, even saying that no evil can come upon them, or that the Lord couldn't possibly take away their authority and power over the people ("none evil can come upon us", verse 11).

The establishment of Zion will not come by them or through them. God has other plans. These leaders do not involve God, for they seek their own counsels, and not God's. He has removed their priesthood and keys, and will remove their authority from among the people in a coming day.

Thu, Nov 16, 2023
This Zion is what these false prophets call Utah and Salt Lake City, the "center place of Zion". Micah describes that destruction will come to this city and the surrounding land.

Micah 4:1
1 But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it.

Mon, Apr 15, 2024
This prophecy refers to the island of the New Jerusalem, to the mountain of the house of the Lord. In a future day, people will come there from all over the terrestrial earth to have vital temple work done in the New Jerusalem celestial temple.

143F9, from Heavenly Father: "Micah 4: 1-3

"But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be established in the top of the mountains (in the top of the nations, in the center of the land), and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it (or flow unto the New Jerusalem).

And many nations shall come (after they are reestablished upon righteous principles throughout the breadth of the earth), and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the Lord from (the New) Jerusalem.

And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.""

Micah 4:2
2 And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

Sun, Nov 19, 2023
This verse is talking about the millennial world, for then "the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem". This is not talking about the telestial mortal world where the LDS Church is located.

Micah 4:3-5
3 And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

4 But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the Lord of hosts hath spoken it.

5 For all people will walk every one in the name of his god, and we will walk in the name of the Lord our God for ever and ever.

Sun, Nov 19, 2023
This is the description of the peace in the millennial day, to be fulfilled on the terrestrial mortal earth.

The rebuking of nations afar off refers to those that had been in the telestial mortal world who had been severely rebuked, even destroyed.

Fri, Dec 22, 2023
The first comers to Zion are those who have come there in the midst of great hardships and privations. These are those whom God speaks of as the daughter of Zion in verse 10 who will thrash the nations by the power of God.

Micah 4:11
11 Now also many nations are gathered against thee, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye look upon Zion.

Sun, Nov 19, 2023
The nations that gather against the Lamb of God are those who belong to the great and abominable church of the devil (see 1 Nephi 14:10, 13). Nephi records his commentary as the same time as the threshing time given in Micah 4:10-13.

______________________________

Micah 4:12-13
12 But they know not the thoughts of the Lord, neither understand they his counsel: for he shall gather them as the sheaves into the floor.

13 Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion: for I will make thine horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass: and thou shalt beat in pieces many people: and I will consecrate their gain unto the Lord, and their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth.

Fri, Dec 22, 2023
See 3 Nephi 16:11-15 wherein Jesus says that the House of Israel, or the people coming from the south that enter the United States, and migrate across her borders across her land, will be protected according to God's covenant that He remembers. This group, the remnant of Israel, will come out of great travail and hardships, like a woman in labor. They will come to Babylon, which has many nations gathered to her, to the USA which is the seat of Babylon.

In time, the remnant of Israel will gain strength with great power, righteousness and glory, like Nephi says in 1 Nephi 14:14. These are part of the the elect of God. With this power, they will thrash the nations as described by Nephi prior to their being brought to the New Jeruslaem by the 144,000 servants of God.

The trek to Babylon, or into the borders of the United States, shall be like this: they shall leave their cities, largely in Central and South America, they shall enter the fields, or in their trek to the US they would travel across many open spaces and fields, and finally come into Babylon. Once in Babylon, they would soon be delivered by transitioning into the terrestrial mortal realm, and make their way to Zion. This is a final delivery from their enemies who are left in the telestial mortal world.

In America: deliverance from the enemy found in Babylon will be when the daughter of Zion gains power from God (1 Nephi 14:14‐15) and goes out in the field and threshes the enemy. The threshing floor is used to crush the wheat or barley stalk, separating the chaff from the grain. In a like manner, the daughter of Zion will be separated from her enemies who oppress her. She will transition at some point into the terrestrial mortal world, and be completely delivered, for her enemies and oppressors cannot follow after her, for they have no power. The daughter of Zion will be carried away to safety to Zion, the New Jerusalem. See 3 Ne 16:14-15 & 3 Ne 20:16-19, Joel 3, Ezekiel 39. See also 198Father and 198G for a commentary by Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother.

159D3-159D6, from Heavenly Father: 'Raphael, there are many secret combinations in your land of America and in the world. They include what you heard about in the video you watched last night, or the deep state and also the powerful international bankers. These keep in secret and dark corners so as not to be seen of the people at large. They currently control the actions of many countries, including your own. We are fully aware of all of these evil groups, and of their intentions. They are controlled by Lucifer, our fallen and rebellious son who seeks to overthrow the kingdom of our Beloved Son that we have authorized to be the Savior of mankind. Through these secret combinations, Satan seeks to subvert our plans for a glorious millennial world of peace and harmony.

However, we will stop his evil efforts , for he does not know the mind of God, nor our plans and our strange work and strange act that we will do. We will reveal our actions first to you and to our humble followers of our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ. You will come to know these events and actions, usually just before they happen in the world. Fear not, and trust in us, and our great power, for we will destroy all of these evils works, and bring forth our Zion at the right time.

Zion is like a woman in labor who will finally be redeemed in your day, even when Babylon the Great will have great power over all the world, among all nations:

Micah 4:10-13"

Sun, Nov 19, 2023
The threshing floor anciently was flat. Wheat or barley sheaves would be thrown onto the floor, and an ox or a donkey would walk over it. The animal would also pull a board attached with ropes. The board would have sharp stones or pieces of horns attached underneath, with a standing man riding on top. This would also break up the stalks and separate the grain from the chaff.

God will figuratively make the daughter of Zion's horns iron and hooves brass. With God's power, these elect of God will thresh the nations and peoples, prior to their escape to Zion. They will separate from the telestial world, as wheat separates from the chaff. The chaff will remain, then be ready to be burned with fire at the second coming of Jesus Christ. The wheat, the daughter of Zion or the elect, will be brought into the terrestrial world and be saved.

The remnant of Jacob are the righteous who are gathered in from those illegal aliens coming across the borders of the United States from Central and South America. These will come among Babylon, and the beast (Russia and her allies), and afflict and perhaps destroy them by treading them down and tearing them in pieces. This is the same prophecy as in Micah 4:10-13, only described differently. See also 3 Nephi 20:16 where Jesus Christ quotes this verse of Micah, identifying the remnant of Jacob as descendents of the people he is addressing.

11 And I will cut off the cities of thy land, and throw down all thy strong holds:

12 And I will cut off witchcrafts out of thine hand; and thou shalt have no more soothsayers:

13 Thy graven images also will I cut off, and thy standing images out of the midst of thee; and thou shalt no more worship the work of thine hands.

14 And I will pluck up thy groves out of the midst of thee: so will I destroy thy cities.

15 And I will execute vengeance in anger and fury upon the heathen, such as they have not heard.

Fri, Dec 22, 2023
Verses 9-15 describe the destruction of Babylon and the Assyrian when they start to afflict and persecute the daughter of Zion, or the remnant of Jacob. The enemies (Babylon, or the wicked in the land of America, and the beast, Russia and her allies), the horses and chariots (armies), cities, soothsayers, graven images and groves of the invading armies shall all be destroyed by the fury of the Lord. The Lord will greatly empower the elect people, or those of the Church of the Lamb (see 1 Nephi 14:14). God will do much of this upheaval and destruction through these empowered covenant people.

See my notes in 3 Nephi 21:14-19, where Christ quotes these exact verses of Micah.

13 Even he shall build the temple of the Lord; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.

54M14: "The branch in verse 12 is Raphael, who will build the temple in the New Jerusalem."

136F5-136F14, from Heavenly Mother: "Raphael, I would like to elaborate more on what your Heavenly Father spoke to you about last night, concerning your future mission in building the New Jerusalem temple.

I had given you an answer to Mary Ann's question about who is the branch in Isaiah 11:1, in your post 54B3 to 54B7. Also in Zechariah 6:12 he speaks of you in your role as the Branch:

"And speak unto him, saying, thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place (this means in the land where you currently live, as a seemingly normal person), and he shall build the temple (the New Jerusalem temple) of the Lord." (comments added by Heavenly Mother).

Raphael, you might find it unusual to commune with me just above the treetops on my celestial orb. Likewise, you and others might find it peculiar to build a New Jerusalem temple over a very devastated area, with future large cracks and flooding on the land, where one can barely walk. We will, nevertheless do as we will direct you, even by our continual connection to your unconscious mind by our still small voice. You are our Branch, the one commissioned to build the New Jerusalem celestial temple!

Others have seen the terrestrial temple complexes in vision in the New Jerusalem city, but none except you have seen in the past before we showed you the size and particular shape of our New Jerusalem Celestial temple (see your post 54Q6 to 54Q13). Your initial sketches are accurate. All of your future construction work on the temple, the fountain of living water, the two trees of life, and the temple gardens and celestial area were designed by your Father and I, even prior to the spirit birth of Immanuel, our Firstborn Son. We so look forward to this era of redemption and the eternally binding ordinances done in this temple for our elect children in each eternity!

The design and overall shape and size of your own celestial temple for this eternity is unique among all other celestial temples on the now other resurrected celestial earths. These also have their own temples that were resurrected along with their resurrected earth. We are able to resurrect a particular celestial building so that it may last into eternity, for all else built on the mortal earth except for this temple will be consumed in time.

When we resurrect the New Jerusalem temple, we are able to do so because the elements for constructing the temple will be taken from the earth, in her celestial realm. We created this celestial realm on the earth in the beginning, even in both the spirit and physical days of creation when the earth was created. We created all the large pieces of rock and stone that you will retrieve with our celestial servants from the celestial realm on the earth where we placed them during the days of the earth's creation. These pieces include large one-piece sections of the parts of the New Jerusalem temple like floors and walls. These are both spiritual and physical, all hidden from those on the earth in the celestial realms on the earth.

There are also all of the other items needed to adorn the entire celestial temple square area that you will find in our celestial realm on the earth. Some of these sections or items need our celestial craftsmen and artisans to work on them once they are in place.

The celestial temple will be resurrected since it has the spirit of the earth and the physical components of the earth. They will not die when the earth dies, however, for these parts of the earth are already celestial. The intelligence of the earth is within the temple structure as well as in the earth. The temple will resurrect as part of the earth's celestial resurrection, and will endure forever in glory on the earth, even as we have designed from the beginning.

Even though the physical earth will die, the celestial temple on her surface will not die, but be raised up in celestial glory above the earth, when the earth finally dies. There will be no need for the temple to even be quickened to a celestial glory, for the temple will be continually in the celestial realms of glory even from its construction at the New Jerusalem area on the earth. This temple is the only things that will not die when the earth is resurrected, for all other living beings like the earth, all of her plants and animals, the water and atmosphere, and all of our beloved children must rise from the dead before becoming either telestial, terrestrial or celestial resurrected beings. The temple will be celestial from the beginning. It will be resurrected, however, at the end of the world, and will transform without death into the New Heaven and New Earth, just as it was originally constructed by you, Raphael.'"

170J7-170J15, from Heavenly Mother: "We will guide each one, step by step, here a little and there a little, even as we have guided you, Raphael. We will gradually unfold all things to those who diligently seek us.

Do not worry about not consciously coming into our presence during your days, for you are replicated and with us through the day each time we invite you to be with us in constant prayer. Your conscious and unconscious minds are connected, only you cannot have the unconscious always before you when you live in mortality. The day will come, however, shortly after you come to the New Jerusalem to build our temple there, that your mind will become as one. This will give you the confidence and knowledge, even given by us, to be our Branch who will do this great thing:

Isaiah 11:1-2

"And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse (Christ), and a Branch shall grow out of his roots.

And the spirit of the Lord (should be "the angel of the Lord", see your post 54B1 to 54B9) shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord; " (see also your post 54HK10 and 54K11).

Raphael, you will then fulfill the words of Zachariah:

Zachariah 6:12

"...Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is the BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the Lord." (see your post 54M14).

Raphael, we have chosen you and are grooming you to fulfill this future mission. We gradually have revealed to you great things, and are tutoring you to prepare for this spiritually demanding task ahead. All of your work now that you are receiving and doing is preparing you for this work. Once the temple is built to a sufficient level, you then will start performing the waters of separation ordinance for our faithful elect, thus bringing them into our Church of the Firstborn. Oriphiel will then record this ordinance in the Lamb's Book of Life, and which is the promise of eternal life and exaltation.'

Do not lose heart in the daily struggle of mortal life, Raphael. We are with you and continually now stand by you. There is nothing to fear or doubt. All will be fulfilled in time, even as I have said!'

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her boost of confidence. I told her I loved her and Heavenly Father, and would always be faithful, and fulfill all that they have and will direct me to do. I said I know that I will receive the strength and capability to fulfill their will that will be required of me in the future day.

I also said that I was content to live my daily life in quietness and peace. I asked her to continue to give me her light and direction on a daily basis, for I depend upon her and Heavenly Father so much in my life now.

Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, as you are able, come here today on the east lawn at our temple, and we will give you counsel and direction, even in the little things that come up in your daily life today. All of this is training you to have the listening skills when you start to fulfill your future role as the Branch.'"

54M3-54M20, from Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father: "Heavenly Father spoke more about the branch that he again said I was. He said this was planned from the beginning, that I would have this role. The branch was a name chosen because it grows out of the stem of a plant, and gradually receives nourishment and growth–just like I am gradually tutored and grow in knowledge. There are a number of Old Testament and some New Testament scriptures too that refer to the branch. A few refer to Jesus Christ, but many refer to me, Raphael, and my foreordained mission in building the temple and in my millennial mission.

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

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

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

'Yes, Raphael, you are the one who will perform this great work spoken of in the scriptures as done by the branch!'

We touched hands as I started down the narrow path.

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

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

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

'Oh Father and Mother, I wait now to hear thy instruction, guidance and revelations to me today. This has been gradually given to me, each time I pray it seems. I await thy word today.'

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

'Raphael, our son, we are pleased that you prepare yourself for your prayers, or communion with us your God. The words we speak are not to be taken lightly, and lead you gradually, here a little and there a little, so that you come to where we wish you to be in your manners and understandings.

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

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

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

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

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

Consider these scriptures about the branch from the Old Testament:

Zechariah 6:11-13–

"Then take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them upon the head of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest;

And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the Lord:

Even he shall build the temple of the Lord; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both."

Comment: The branch in verse 12 is Raphael, who will build the temple in the New Jerusalem.

Jeremiah 23:5-6–

"Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.

In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, The Lord Our Righteous."

Comment: In verse 5, the righteous branch is Raphael, and the king is John the Beloved, the one raised unto David. The king will execute judgment and justice in the New Jerusalem. The verse would be better written as follows:

Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will raise a righteous Branch, and unto David a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth."

Hosea 3:4-5–

"For the children of Israel shall abide many days without a king, and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without an image, and without an ephod, and without teraphim:

Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the Lord their God, and David their king; and shall fear the Lord and his goodness in the latter days."

Comment: Verse 5 refers to the latter-day Davidic king, even John the Beloved.

Jeremiah 33:15–

"In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land."

Comment: This is a reference to Jesus Christ, who comes from the seed of David.

Zechariah 3:8 "Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit before thee: for they are men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the BRANCH.

Comment: I believe this is a reference to the last days' branch that builds the temple, although the reference is somewhat obscure.

Isaiah 4:2-3

"In that day shall the branch of the Lord be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel.

And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem:"

Comment: Verse 2 is a direct reference to the branch who shall build the New Jerusalem. In verse 3 there is a direct reference to the latter-day Zion and Jerusalem (New Jerusalem). It will be a holy city, and everyone who dwells in this city will be holy.

Isaiah 60:19-21

"The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the Lord shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory.

Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the Lord shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended.

Thy people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified."

Comment: This is a latter-days reference to the city of the New Jerusalem, where the light of God will illuminate the people, and God's temple. Verse 21 has a reference to "the branch of my planting", referring to the branch who would build the temple of God."

Sat, May 11, 2024
This is a direct reference to the separation of the wicked from the elect in the last days. See my note in Isaiah 1:7

185I7-185I12, 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!'"

Zechariah 14:2-4
2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

3 Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.

4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

These are events of the second coming of Christ to the Jews.

Malachi 3:1
1 Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts.

Sun, Oct 20, 2024
March 18, 2024: This morning I read this scripture in 3 Nephi 24:1, as quoted the same as it appears in Malachi by Jesus Christ to the Nephites. Jesus said that they (the Nephites) should write the words which the Father had given unto Malachi. This is impressive that the Father, not the Son, had given this revelation to Malachi.

I also looked up a reference to D&C 45:9: "And even so I have sent mine everlasting covenant into the world, to be a light to the world, and to be a standard for my people, and for the Gentiles to seek to it, and to be a messenger before my face to prepare the way before me."

I asked my Father in Heaven repeatedly in prayer about these verses today. Here is my answer from my Father I received: "The messenger of the covenant is not Christ, but is Raphael, the archangel for the last days. He is the messenger since he administers the waters of separation ordinance in the New Jerusalem temple as the entry into the Church of the Firstborn. Immediately following this, the archangel Oriphiel writes the name of the recipient in the Lamb's Book of Life, guaranteeing that this individual will receive eternal life and exaltation. This is the great covenant of the Father and Mother for their faithful children.

This event was first performed for Raphael by Jesus Christ himself, to show Raphael how to administer this for others and to enter his/her name into the Book of Life. This is what is meant by "the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple", even the New Jerusalem temple to administer this first waters of separation ordinance to Raphael. The Father and Mother were there in the temple, as well. All of the heavenly hosts were watching when Jesus Christ suddenly came to his temple! See 200E25 when this happened on July 19, 2021
(see also 200E41 for this ordinance).

See 200E22-200E26: "I stood in front of the golden altar [next to the stone altar north of the New Jerusalem celestial temple], and addressed my Heavenly Parents who were before me: 'My Heavenly Parents, I have slayed, burned and collected the ashes of the red heifer as you have instructed me. Shall I now go to the font room of the temple and receive my instructions from Jesus Christ, your Beloved Son?

My Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, you have done well. Yes, return now to the font room. We will come there to meet you. Your archangel brothers and archangel sisters will also be there, as well as other angels and the celestial hosts of heaven. We will all witness you receiving the waters of separation ordinance, and having your name written in the Lamb's Book of Life, as Jesus Christ instructs you. When your entry work is completed, you will do this with Oriphiel for your own first parents Adam and Eve. At this conclusion, we will dismiss the heavenly hosts and Jesus Christ.'

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his words. I then walked back to the north doors of the temple and entered. I shut the doors behind me. I carried with me the small gold shovel and the small gold jar that was filled with some of the ashes from the red heifer. I came to the font room and walked to a place before the stone basin, faced south and knelt. My brother Oriphiel was standing with my other archangel brothers, and came next to me and knelt, also facing south. Our Heavenly Parents were in the air above the south exit door of this font room.

At that moment our Great Redeemer, Jesus Christ, appeared before us at the top gold southern step of the oval area. He was so bright and radiating his love to all. He spoke:

'Raphael and Oriphiel, I am Jesus Christ, your Savior and Redeemer. I have laid down my life for all mankind, so that those who are faithful might be fully redeemed and be received into my Church of the Firstborn, our celestial church. I will instruct you my servants today on how to administer this ordinance and recording. I will have you, Raphael, mix the waters with the ashes, and then I will show you how to use the water by demonstrating this on you. This will be your own receipt of the waters of separation. I will instruct you, Oriphiel, on how to record the names of our celestial elect in my Book of Life. You will do this by writing Raphael's name as the first entry. You will then do these same procedures for Adam and Eve, on my behalf, as I watch. This will then begin your service in this glorious font room for all of my chosen elect.'"

The first ordinance that Raphael administered was for Adam and Eve, our first parents (see 200E66-200E74). This followed immediately after Raphael received this same ordinance from Jesus Christ. From this point on, all the righteous waiting hosts of the dead began receiving their entry ordinance into the celestial Church of the Firstborn.

The reason why the Father revealed this to Malachi is because this is the work of the Father and Mother, their eternal work in exalting their beloved righteous children in eternity. It is called the new and everlasting covenant, for it is eternal and will last forever.

These actions were to be initiated before the second coming of Jesus Christ, to "prepare the way before me (Christ, the Lord). This scripture has now been fulfilled."

189F9-189F14, from Heavenly Father: "Raphael, when our angel Moroni appeared to Joseph Smith, he first quoted the third chapter of Malachi (see Joseph Smith History 1:36).

Malachi 3:1

"Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts."

The LDS Church leaders have interpreted the messenger of the covenant to be Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son. However, how can Jesus prepare the way before himself, for this is inconsistent with our ways of doing things. There is another who prepares the way when the Lord comes to his temple. The temple referred to is the New Jerusalem temple.

Raphael, you are the messenger of the covenant. The covenant is in part the ordinance of the waters of separation that you will administer to everyone of our celestial elect, which brings them into the Church of the Firstborn. These, our proven and faithful sons and daughters, will then be able to proceed to receive all of the covenants and ordinances in our New Jerusalem temple for their exaltation, even from the angels of God.

Our beloved celestial elect will greatly delight in you, the messenger of the covenant, and of that glorious ordinance that brings them into our celestial church. Our holy angels will also administer to these, our celestial elect, in the New Jerusalem temple. This is the true meaning of Malachi 3:1. You are our Branch, and the messenger of the beginning covenant of eternal life and exaltation, and their eventual exaltation.'

I humbly thanked my Father for having me, his lowly servant and messenger, to receive this calling. I asked that he and Heavenly Mother guide me in fully doing his will and calling."

See also my notes in D&C 133:36-37, Revelation 14:6-7 and D&C 1:22.

5-20-2024: When pondering this verse, I was thinking of the idea that this was a revelation from the Father, not the Son (3 Nephi 24:1). As I read I wondered if the words in this verse which state "prepare the way before me", where me refers to the Father, not the Son, since it was the Father giving this revelation to Malachi.

While pondering this, I heard the voice of the Father to me: "Raphael, in this phrase "prepare the way before me", the word me refers to myself, and not my Beloved Son, Jesus Christ."

I confirmed this immediately afterwards. Another way then to say the first sentence: "Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me" is this: "Behold, I, the Father, will send my messenger Raphael, and he shall prepare the way before me, the Father." What Raphael will be doing is to prepare the chosen elect individual for a likely encounter with the Father and Mother, once he receives them into the Church of the Firstborn. Raphael administers this ordinance of the waters of separation in the celestial temple and celestial realm where the Father, Mother and Jesus all dwell. After they receive the ordinance, they may then use the portal access to enter into the celestial orb where their Heavenly Parents dwell.

The last part of verse 1 states this: "and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts." The Lord is the Father and the Lord of hosts in this part is Jesus Christ. It would have been much more clear to add the word "to" and say the following: "and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even to the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts."

Malachi 3:3
3 And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness.

Tue, Apr 23, 2024
There will be a time on the terrestrial earth in the New Jerusalem, that this prophecy will be fulfilled. The final sacrifice will be offered by the sons of Levi, of the tribe of Levi from the lost tribes of Israel. After this sacrifice, the Aaronic Priesthood will no longer be passed by ordination from father to son, but will be fulfilled and will end in the millennial Church of Christ. The Melchizedek Priesthood will remain. There will be no further need of the preparatory priesthood on the earth.

See also D&C 13:1.

Malachi 3:10
10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

170I1-170I4: "I feel very blessed to have received so many truths from God! I was listening to my post 101 yesterday, given less than two years ago. I am now almost seventy posts later, and have received so very abundantly. I can hardly believe the journey I have been on! All along the way of receiving these truths from my Heavenly Father, Heavenly Mother and Jesus Christ, I have been carefully confirming these revelations, with an open heart and mind. I have asked my small group to do the same, and not to take my own word for it. Each has been praying and receiving their own witness from God themselves.

The amount of revelation has been truly so great and voluminous that I cannot receive it all and remember all in my conscious mind. When I read or listen to what I have received in the past, it is often like it is all new again,

I live a very active life, and my days are busy with many projects. I try to make time in the day to listen to my past posts, but I am still going slower than I would like. I also receive new direction and revelations each day. I truly have such abundance and can hardly receive it all, even as Malachi the prophet spoke:

Malachi 3:10

Malachi 4:1-2
1 For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.

2 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.

178K14-178K19: "Heavenly Father: 'Raphael, I am about to come out in anger upon the wicked in your land, including conspiring leaders who stop at nothing to take advantage of the people. They care not for the people, but only want to kill them or subjugate them under their dominance. My plan will soon no longer require them, for they will be destroyed when I come out of my hiding place to vex, judge, and destroy them. My fire will soon burn them up, and the tribes of Israel will soon also destroy their best laid plans when they become their enemies. The Lincoln Dream of Pastor Coverstone spoke of fire and ice. The fire will be from the natural devastations we will bring upon the land, including earthquakes, volcanoes, whirlwinds, violent weather, and the arrival of Nibiru that will destroy their land. The ice is from the arrival of our people, Israel, who will call down my further destructions upon them, their enemies.

D&C 133:26

"And they who are in the north countries shall come in remembrance before the Lord; and their prophets shall hear his voice, and shall no longer stay themselves; and they shall smite the rocks (those rocks are those wicked in your land who have fully ripened in iniquity, even who have overtaken your government and seek to destroy the constitution and republic of the United States of America), and the ice shall flow down at their presence (this ice is both the ice at the polar caps when it breaks up before them, and secondly the power of destruction that I will bring down at the commands of their prophets upon the wicked in the promised land. "Nation, brace yourself for fire and ice" as heard by Dana Coverstone is how I will destroy the wicked out of your land, and claim the elect from among the people even as my jewels (D&C 60:4). The wicked I will blow away by my breath after they are destroyed, so that they leave neither root nor branch on the earth." (Heavenly Father's words in parentheses).

See Malachi 4:1

"For behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall burn as stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch") (Words in parenthesis given by Heavenly Father.)'

I bowed my head before my Father and acknowledged that his judgments were just. I thanked him not to prolong the removal of the wicked from the land for very long. I said I was so looking forward to starting soon on the New Jerusalem next spring.

He smiled upon me, but his eyes seemed full of vengeance and fire. Then a large fire came around his person as he rose up in the celestial skies! There was a violent wind that also came and wrapped around him as he powerfully disappeared from my view!

I silently thanked my Father for his powerful message tonight!"

119E7-119E14: "I would also like to address Mary Ann's question about the righteous rising up in the clouds when our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, comes again in glory. This rising up in the sky will be a literal experience in the physical body, for those living on the earth. When they are taken, the higher law of celestial glory will quicken each one so that the effects of gravity will no longer have dominion over them. They will meet Christ in the air, and descend with him when he comes in glory to the earth. All the unborn hosts of heaven, who live in the premortal world, will also be able to participate in their spirits when Jesus Christ descends to the earth.

There will be lands and houses of the righteous on the earth that will be preserved, for they will need to occupy them and live on their own lands. [R here: these telestial lands and buildings of the righteous will necessarily change to terrestrial lands and buildings before or at that time, for the telestial will all be destroyed at the second coming of Jesus Christ. See also the promise and action of changing my own ___ acres to a terrestrial land in my notes in Genesis 49:26] However, the wicked and their habitations will be burned with the fire of celestial glory, for these are telestial in nature and will not be quickened. All those who have done wickedly shall be as stubble, as spoken by Malachi the prophet.

Malachi 4: 1-2

"For behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.

But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall."

When the dead who are righteous come to meet their Great Redeemer in the skies, in the clouds of heaven, they will first become resurrected on the earth to a celestial resurrection. They will then rise up in the clouds with the whole congregation of the celestial righteous, and descend with Jesus Christ to the earth in triumph and glory! The dead and living on the earth, and those previously resurrected, and the unborn righteous, will all intermingle for a time in their own families to whom they will meet in the clouds above prior to their descent to the earth. This will be a time of great rejoicing together, and then rejoicing with their Savior and Redeemer as he descends to the earth. All of the inhabitants remaining in the flesh on the earth, and all the telestial dead, and all of the devils too, will witness the glorious advent of Jesus Christ to the earth! Those who cannot withstand the brightness of Christ's celestial glory and who are not quickened to a celestial glory, must needs perish. Their lands, cities, and all of their possessions will be burned up in preparation for the advent of the new millennial world coming on the earth!

Once Jesus descends and comes to his glorious city of the New Jerusalem, and to his temple there, those who will not be able to remain, like the premortal spirits, will depart. All those who are mortal will return to their own houses and lands. [R: See newly updated information in 3 Nephi 22:3, dated July 3-4, 2024, about where those will go who descend with Jesus Christ at his second coming.] Those who are newly resurrected will go live on the terrestrial earth or the celestial orb, or receive assignments in continuing the construction and great work in the land of the New Jerusalem, or wherever they may be assigned. Those who perish in the brightness of Christ's coming will be ushered into the telestial realms of the dead on the earth.

Raphael, then Jesus Christ, the great Jehovah, will call you forth to place Lucifer and his entire group, into the bottomless pit for 1000 years. Before you fulfill his command, you will gather them all up over the ocean, in the air in one body. You will then address them and invite any of them to come join the ranks of Jesus Christ, their personal Redeemer. There will be a great amount who come forth at that time in the humility of their souls. Our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, will then receive and accept them. They will be taken to the Refugees of Lucifer who will succor them and help them heal from their gross sins and subjugation to Lucifer.

Those who are unrepentant and angry, who will include Lucifer, will still be gathered in one body over the ocean. With the support then of your Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, and with your sword of Raphael, you will then take Satan and lock him in a chain in the depths of the bottomless pit. Once he is secure, you will then corral all the remainder of the wicked minions of Satan, and place them in that dark and deep bottomless pit in the earth. You will then retrieve, in your replicated body, the ones who are in the prison orb. These too you will invite to Christ. For those who remain in their dark and loathsome state, you will return with these to the bottomless pit to join their evil brothers and sisters. Once all are in the bottomless pit, then you will place the seal over the bottomless pit, never to be visited again until the end of the millennium!'

I bowed my head in acceptance of my Heavenly Mother's beautiful revelation! I said I would be true and faithful, and do all that I was expected and assigned to fulfill."

108F10-108F17: "In the process of time, I saw Heavenly Father and his holy angels work steadily until the entire field was harvested and each of the wheat stalks had been safely gathered to their places of safety, one at a time. I saw Heavenly Father then speak again to his angels: 'My servants, you have worked tirelessly in helping me harvest into safety each of my elect, represented by these wheat stalks. I will greatly bless you because of your diligence in laboring with me in my field! (see Jacob 5:75)

Heavenly Father and the angels of God, who had labored with him, arose in the air over the eastern end of his field. I was also in the air, on the western end of the field, watching with my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother at my sides. Heavenly Mother spoke to me: 'Raphael, you will notice that in your vision yesterday, the tares were first removed from among the wheat, allowing the wheat to grow more vigorously before the sunshine of our revelations. The wheat also received the nourishment from our heavenly soil, now that the tares were bound in bundles. You still see these bundles on the road next to the wheat field. In the field there is stubble, the remains of the wheat, their roots and a small part of the stalk above the ground. This represents that the roots in the telestial world where the wheat grew no longer are important, for they have fulfilled their purpose.

You will also see the fallen oak tree in the northwestern part of the field below us. This tree has further decayed since the mighty whirlwind blew it over. All is now ready to be burned with fire! Watch now Heavenly Father at the east end of his wheat field in the air.'

I looked in the distance to Heavenly Father next to his holy angels in the air. Heavenly Father raised his hands above the field below him and great flames of fire came down from the sky and lit upon the field and the road. I saw the stubble, the bound tares, and the once mighty oak tree catch on fire and burn. There was a thick, black smoke, which arose from the tares, and especially from the dead oak tree. The fire was ferocious and wild. The heat of its burning rose in the air and I could feel its radiant intensity. I next saw it burn steadily and then die down to embers. Soon all was still again.

My Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother turned to me and Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, let's now go down to my wheat field.' We descended from the sky to the place where the oak tree had fallen. I saw no sign of this mighty oak, except for some ashes on the ground. The hole where the roots of the tree had uprooted had been gradually filled by Heavenly Father with surrounding soil, nearly to the level ground. This soil had protected the underlying roots from damage.

Heavenly Father reached out and mixed the ashes from the burnt tree with more soil and then pushed this mixture on top of the area where the deep hole had been created. The soil mixture made the ground now level again. Heavenly Mother spoke: Raphael, the ashes from the fallen oak tree are the true doctrines and practices that remain of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. These will be transferred to the new Church of Christ that will soon spring forth from the roots of this live oak tree.'

I then looked over the field and it was completely clear of stubble, ready for a new planting of millennial wheat. On the road I saw no sign of the tares that had been bound with Heavenly Father's twine. There was neither root nor branch. I thought of the scripture from Malachi 4:1-3: "For behold the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the Lord of hosts."

Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, we have many allegories depicting this great event that you have just witnessed in my wheat field. The parable of the wheat and tares is one of these allegories, or parables. They all refer to the great harvest of our elect and the destruction of the wicked, soon to happen in your day. We will tell our faithful which allegories or parables apply to this time, through our revelations to them. These are found in the words of our prophets who saw your day, recorded in your scriptures.'"

118J21-118J24: "When Jesus comes to the earth in glory, in the clouds of heaven with his holy angels, he will shine forth in glory. To those who are of the telestial glory, and who cannot withstand a terrestrial glory, they will be burned and will die. Their spirits will go into the telestial world of the dead on that realm on the earth. This fire is not the same celestial fire that we will use at the end of the world.

The burning at the second coming of Jesus Christ was spoken of in Malachi 4:1:

"For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch."

Those of the lowest telestial realm who then live on the earth in their mortal bodies will be removed into the telestial realm of the dead. In each one, Jesus will cause a burning wherein they will die, for they cannot come into the new terrestrial gory of the earth in the millennial day. They will not abide the day of his coming. Only those who are of a terrestrial and celestial nature will abide, and be permitted to remain into the millennium.

I thanked my loving and shining Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother for their clear words to me this morning. I told them how humbled I felt to be so enlightened by their light and truth that they have shined forth on me, and spoken to me."

See also Joseph Smith History 1:37, which Moroni quotes Malachi 4:1 slightly differently: "For behold, the day cometh that shall burn as an oven, and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly shall burn as stubble; for they that come shall burn them, saith the Lord of Hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch." I believe that "they that come" include those sent ahead of time to destroy the wicked, and then finally Jesus Christ himself who will come to finish up all of the burning.

80G3-80G10, from Heavenly Mother: "Raphael, we love our elect, for they listen to our voice and keep our commandments.

Yesterday you held a meeting for our mortal angels, to help awaken them in their conscious mind that they are angels of God. We will send them more openly now to our elect who are on the earth. They will be sent on many rescue missions to protect, guide and give direction to our elect. Their work will become more commonplace in the darkened world where our elect live. They will brighten and give hope to our faithful, encouraging them to endure for a time the culture and degrading values of a society that is being promoted by Lucifer and his minions. Evil in your world will increase for a time but then be quickly eliminated as the light and fire from heaven is poured out upon the elect and the earth. Soon we will have a millennium day where these (she pointed to the wheat field below) will grow up as calves in the stall:

Malachi 4:1-3–

"For behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that is shall leave them neither root nor branch.

But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves in the stall.

And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the Lord of hosts."

Your Father and I will pour out the blessings of heaven upon the earth and its righteous inhabitants and will at the same time remove the wicked. The earth will continue its transition from a telestial to a terrestrial world, greatly blessing those who will come forth in the millennial day. Oh, we look forward to this great day of rest and peace!'

Heavenly Mother then turned to me directly. Her eyes were bright, full of hope and so loving. She was thinking of her elect children that are coming upon the earth. I could tell she loved them so very much!

'Raphael, your Father and I have brought forth the righteous in the beginning, in the day we created them from their intelligence, and clothed them in spirit form after our own image. These elect whom we have chosen give us great joy! Most of the remainder of our children receive some measure of happiness, but only our elect children come into our Church of the Firstborn, and ultimately receive the type of life we lead, to their exaltation in the eternal worlds. These are they in whom we delight! For these, we prepare the earth to be a peaceful, happy and such a lovely place to live!'

She then hugged me and twirled me around like a mother would do for her toddler! I was thrilled by the bright hope I felt for these elect and for Mother Earth, that she then shared with me as I was hugged and twirled! I received a glimpse of her great joy that she has in her obedient children. I knew that she and my Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ would do anything to save these choice sons and daughters in a fallen world.

Heavenly Mother then spoke to me as she put her hands on my shoulders–

'Come, let us go to your Heavenly Father and look closer at his great care and work in watering his wheat field!'

She then took my hand, and we zipped through the air to be by his side. Heavenly Father was very intent on his irrigation work, but when he saw us by his side, he paused and came to us. He kissed Heavenly Mother and put his right arm around her shoulders. He and Heavenly Mother then faced me and Heavenly Father spoke:

'Raphael, as you can see, I am ever diligent in nourishing and watering our wheat which represents our elect children on the earth. I too think of them continually, as does your Heavenly Mother. We delight in them and will do everything possible in leading them to their exaltation and eternal lives. We have great and detailed plans in helping each one awaken to us, their God, so that we may lead them to the great joy and happiness we so enjoy in our life as their Gods.

As our mortal angels learn about their role and activities in their mortal conscious mind, they will become more capable and powerful angels to us. We will send them to our elect on assignments to protect and guide them in a turbulent world. We will reveal more and more our light and power to our faithful who will come forth in the millennium on earth. Your role, Raphael, will increase in light and strength as you grow in your calling, to administer to our angels and to the elect on the earth, both to those living now in mortality and those soon coming forth. We love you, Raphael!'

I saw tears coming from my Heavenly Father's eyes as he finished speaking to me! Heavenly Mother started crying too for joy. I looked again at the wheat field and saw in my mind an array of vast multitudes of men and women, dressed in white robes, all beaming with happy smiles! I saw that these were the elect of God, represented by the wheat. I too became overcome with joy at the love I felt for these, my righteous brothers and sisters! The love of God had fully engulfed me as I saw these faces in the multitude of the righteous before me!

This short glimpse has strengthened me and motivates me to pursue my course ever so diligently! I know God's purposes will be fulfilled in saving their elect. What a privilege it is to save my fellowmen in this great work of God! I feel deeply moved!"

Malachi 4:3
3 And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the Lord of hosts.

Mon, Jan 29, 2024
Once the righteous descend to the earth, all that is telestial will have been burned with fire. The righteous will walk on their new terrestrial earth, and the wicked and the telestial earth will be all destroyed. This is what is meant by treading down the wicked as ashes, for they will have been burned up and be no more.

Malachi 4:5-6
5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord:

6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

Sat, Jul 13, 2024
See Joseph Smith History 1:38-39.

54W12-54W14: "6) Church of the Firstborn: Sealing of a husband to his wife, and of a wife to her husband, each spouse to each other. This is performed in a special sealing room on the fourth floor of the celestial temple in heaven, the throne room. This is performed by Heavenly Father, Heavenly Mother or Jesus Christ.

Church of Christ: Sealing of a husband to his wife, and of a wife to her husband, each spouse to each other. These are performed by one with authority holding the keys, or delegated keys from one who actively has these keys. The sealings of the wife to her husband and husband to his wife are to be fully realized when the couple is sealed in heaven by God. The sealing of children to their parents is to link the family for all the faithful in eternity, in parent-child relationships. These relationships are binding for eternity so that there will be one large family of the faithful, from Adam and Eve, the first righteous parents to all their faithful children who receive their exaltation. This is accomplished by the sealing power of Elijah, which was restored through the prophet Joseph Smith. [Correction: I have learned some time later that this sealing power of Elijah was intended only for Baptisms for the Dead, and not for temple sealings of marriages. See D&C 128:15,18, and my notes in Moses 6:51-53,59-68. The sealing of a husband to his wife, and a wife to her husband, and only the exalted children from mortal families on earth to their parents, is done by one of our Gods in the celestial temple on the celestial orb (see 184G3-184G5 below). This is done so that the earth will not be utterly wasted at the second coming of Jesus Christ to the earth, as spoken of by Malachi the prophet.

Malachi 4:5-6: "Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord:

And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse."

There is a pattern of the sealing of the husband to his wife, and the wife to her husband in the Church of Christ. It will be corrected to not only have the wife sealed to her husband as now exists, but also the husband will be sealed to his wife. This was changed without our permission after Joseph Smith the prophet died. We have, however, accepted these husband-wife sealings since they will all be reconfirmed and performed by one of us three Gods for the couple, in the celestial sealing in the temple sealing rooms in heaven. This will be corrected in the Church of Christ when Joseph the prophet restores again this church to the earth."

184G3-184G5: "Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, your Heavenly Mother spoke to you many truths last night about family relationships. We seal couples together as husbands and wives, and this is the eternal family in eternity. Those who are their earthly children and who attain the same glorious exaltation, are sealed to them as their children. This is the ordinance which we, your Gods, will do once the couples all are ordained Gods, even couple Gods in eternity (see your post 82L2). Those who were children on an earth will be sealed by us to their earthly parents, in an ordinance in the Church of the Firstborn. This is to signify the continuation of a relationship between them in eternity, as family and as lasting friends. There will therefore be a great welding link in eternity between the Gods, forming an eternal extended family and friend relationship.

Joseph Smith, our prophet, mentioned this welding link in D&C 128:18, when referring to the baptism for the dead. This is the turning of the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the children to their fathers. Once exalted, these parents and children will be linked eternally in a sealing ordinance that we, their Gods, will do. We desire the hearts of these earthly family members to continue to be bound together in love, interest and friendship.

On earth and eternity, the great relationship of primary focus is the marriage relationship. Children may come and enhance this core family unit, but will also pass through, creating their own family with their chosen spouse. This marriage relationship continues in eternity as this couple is sealed together as couple Gods. This is the true meaning of the core eternal family. The exalted children are sealed back to their earthly parents, and form a larger network of an extended family in eternity.'"
