Moses 1:3-4
3 And God spake unto Moses, saying: Behold, I am the Lord God Almighty, and Endless is my name; for I am without beginning of days or end of years; and is not this endless?
4 And, behold, thou art my son; wherefore look, and I will show thee the workmanship of mine hands; but not all, for my works are without end, and also my words, for they never cease.
175B2-175B9: "I then intended to come into their presence and I waited. I next seemed to come into a dark place in space, even I felt outside of our universe. Heavenly Father was next to my side. We were both facing the stillness of space. The light from my Heavenly Father's presence was the only light I could perceive.
Heavenly Father spoke as he turned toward me:
'Raphael, I have brought you to a location where there is unorganized intelligence and elemental matter. This is where your Heavenly Mother and I will come with you and your exalted wife to assist you in choosing your first Redeemer intelligence. He will become the first spirit child you will begat once you both become couple Gods in eternity. At this time in your future, all of your own eternity will have passed onto their eternal reward and destiny. You will have been given an inheritance on the celestial resurrected earth where you will have established your first eternal residence.
At this future moment, your Heavenly Mother and I will also be choosing one of these intelligences before us to become our own next Redeemer and Beloved Son for our next eternity. We will assist all of our children who are then exalted as Gods to do the same. At this moment, we will replicate ourselves so we may be with each of our beloved couple Gods, who are our children, in their transition to creating their own eternal family and kingdom.
Our "works are without end, and also (our) words, for they never cease." (see Moses 1:4). You and I are without "beginning of days or end of years" (Moses 1:3), for we and all of these intelligences before us also, are endless.'
Heavenly Father then faced the immensity of space in front of us. We both gazed into this space, filled with the future building blocks for the next eternities that will come into existence. I realized again that our own troubled world, and moment in time on earth, was just a snapshot of a moment in our own eternity that would surely roll onto the next moment, even until all of us would be living in our millennial day future. This was all part of a glorious plan to give us, God's children, experiences and allow us to grow into the sort of people we really each wanted to become. In these difficult times we live in, or will soon pass through, it will help to think about our eternal nature, and the grand plan of God in creating each of us and this eternity.
I faced my Father and spoke: 'My Father, I am thankful that you have brought me here to gain a perspective again of where I am in eternity. I greatly marvel at all of this! Like Moses spoke, I too can say "that I know man is nothing" (Moses 1:10), but at the same time I see that these intelligences before us that become our future children will be everything to us, for all our efforts will be to assist them to become even as you and Heavenly Mother are, couple Gods in eternity. Help me to remember this perspective when struggling in my daily life on earth and in moving forward day by day in my deteriorating world!'
Heavenly Father smiled and said that he and Heavenly Mother would be near me, even daily in constant prayer. He said that they would particularly seek out everyone of their elect children, and assist them also as they might come unto them, their Gods and Heavenly Parents.
'Raphael, the eternity in which you now live will move steadily onward in the sequence we have planned. These days will try the souls of our elect children, and help them grow into the more capable men and women we desire them to become. They will each have a glorious destiny as they allow us to take their hands and help them. This is the great desire of your Heavenly Mother and I. We want to guide and direct our elect sons and daughters during this time of transition into a better world!'"

Moses 1:5,11
5 Wherefore, no man can behold all my works, except he behold all my glory; and no man can behold all my glory, and afterwards remain in the flesh on the earth.
11 But now mine own eyes have beheld God; but not my natural, but my spiritual eyes, for my natural eyes could not have beheld; for I should have withered and died in his presence; but his glory was upon me; and I beheld his face, for I was transfigured before him.
204D13-204D31: "This afternoon I meditated in prayer, just trying to view the faces of my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother. I was able to visualize each one in my mind. I want to next see them act and move in vibrant color and in the surrounding areas I see them in. I want to see them with my spiritual eyes.
I have thought of the scripture in Moses 1:11, when Moses distinguished between his spiritual eyes and his natural eyes:
Moses 1:11-
"But now mine own eyes have beheld God; but not my natural, but my spiritual eyes, for my natural eyes could not have beheld; for I should have withered and died in his presence; but his glory was upon me; and I beheld his face, for I was transfigured before him."
I had a question about Moses 1:5-
"Wherefore, no man can behold all my works, except he behold all my glory; and no man can behold all my glory, and afterwards remain in the flesh on the earth."
I wondered how this last scripture relates to those of us who receive a merged mind? I wondered if we will view all the glory of God, or a partial view of this glory, for how else could we continue with our missions in the flesh if we viewed all of God's glory?
I came this evening to the steps of the Great Assembly Hall, on the western shores of Lake Beautiful. I had a beautiful view of the lake, with a lovely sunset. I knelt on a step and faced the lake. I asked for my Heavenly Father to come. I kept my eyes open towards the sky and the water in front of me.
A bright beam then shone from the sky to the water's edge. Heavenly Father next appeared in glory, in the air a few feet above the water. He walked a few steps to a place right in front of me. I bowed my head, but was able to still gaze intently upon his glorious face. I was able to zoom up in my spiritual sight close to his eyes, so that I could clearly see into his deep and clear eternity eyes.
He smiled at me and asked me to write what he said: 'Raphael, you are brought back into my presence and glory, and can withstand my full celestial glory, radiance and light. Your Heavenly Mother and I have come before you like this multiple times, and have even brought you into our highest celestial realm. We have shed upon you our full glory at various times. You are able, however, to remain in the flesh on earth.
The way we have been able to have you continue in the flesh as a mortal man, is that we have appeared to your replicated celestial being, and not your mortal being. Had we appeared to you in your mortal body, you would have had to be transfigured in your flesh to behold our glory, but then afterwards you would of necessity be permanently changed from being a mortal man.
The way we allow you to behold our full glory and afterwards remain in the flesh is to appear to your replicated celestial being. We may then show you all of our glory, and much of our works without interrupting your mortality.
With your merged mind, you may view clearly in the flesh, in your mortal conscious mind, all that we may reveal to you in your replicated celestial being. You may record these visions as we direct, and share them with other mortal beings.
When you come to the New Jerusalem, you will come in the flesh, from your telestial mortal world to the terrestrial mortal world. This will become your new mortal location for your earthly body on earth. You will continue having prayer experiences with your Heavenly Mother and me in your replicated celestial being, and be able to view these in your mortal conscious mind. The manner of viewing us in your terrestrial mortal body is the same as you are now learning in your telestial mortal body.
Moses was correct when he said he saw God with his spiritual eyes, and not his natural eyes. His natural eyes were the eyes in his mortal telestial body. His spiritual eyes were those in his replicated celestial man that came before us. This is the same manner by which you also are able to view us in conscious reality in your mortal mind. During the vision of seeing God that Moses had, he saw God in his unconscious mind, and the veil between his mortal mind and his celestial replicated mind was lifted during his vision. In this manner, he was truly talking face to face with God.
Moses saw and talked with our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, similar to how Enoch talked with Jehovah (see Moses 7:53). You see and talk primarily with your Heavenly Mother and me in a similar way. However, with the blessing of a merged mind, you may view our interactions in your conscious mortal mind instead of your unconscious mind.'
Heavenly Father then reached out with his right index finger and touched both of my eyes. These were my celestial eyes in my replicated celestial being. He then asked me to look upon him again, and to tell him if I saw him in any greater clarity.
I initially saw him moving his hand and returning it to his side. I sought to view him in my conscious mind with even more clarity and vision. I saw his light blue eyes, and white hair, but not other colors in clearness.
He then smiled, and said he and Heavenly Mother would continue to help me as I sought to exercise faith in learning to use my new blessing of a merged mind.
A white cloud came around him so that all that was visible was his face. I gazed upon him and saw the bright yellow light of the sunset behind him envelop his head, shining through his white hair. He then stepped back into his column of light and traveled back up into the celestial sky, and was gone.
I thanked him for my prayer experience tonight. I thanked him for the blessings to have seen a little more clearly tonight. I thanked him also for having my question answered."
Sun, Mar 19, 2023
Moses saw God (Jesus Christ) face to face (verse 2), and talked with him. This was not with his natural eyes with which we see in mortality in the telestial world, but with his spiritual eyes. The spiritual eyes can see beyond this mortal realm at times, like happened to Moses. The natural eyes in mortality cannot behold God, for the body would wither in God's presence. Moses instead had to be transfigured, or brought up into a realm higher that the telestial, even to the celestial realm. In his quickened state, Moses saw with his spirit eyes, or spiritual eyes, the things that God wanted to show and reveal to him. I believe that at no time is God lowered to a telestial or terrestrial state, but the one receiving the revelation is brought up to where God is, even into the celestial realm. This is only understood by those who have this experience to commune with God, or see visions or dreams in the celestial realm. Once one has this experience, he or she understands these type of revelatory scriptures, and how it happens. Until that happens to an individual, they cannot fully understand, but somehow think they will see with their natural eyes.

Moses 1:13-16
13 And it came to pass that Moses looked upon Satan and said: Who art thou? For behold, I am a son of God, in the similitude of his Only Begotten; and where is thy glory, that I should worship thee?
14 For behold, I could not look upon God, except his glory should come upon me, and I were transfigured before him. But I can look upon thee in the natural man. Is it not so, surely?
15 Blessed be the name of my God, for his Spirit hath not altogether withdrawn from me, or else where is thy glory, for it is darkness unto me? And I can judge between thee and God; for God said unto me: Worship God, for him only shalt thou serve.
91G2-91G10, from Heavenly Mother: "'Raphael, I didn't speak to you last night because you were too tired and had work to do right after your prayer. Nevertheless, you did the correct thing in ending your prayer when you did. I will therefore deliver my message I was going to give last night.
Lucifer and his hosts who follow him have continually pushed against the rules of decorum that our other spirit sons and daughters obey. These include telling lies, misleading by trickery, trying to take advantage by deceit, and a host of evil manners. Satan and his minions also may appear to our mortal children in various forms because of the inherent capacity and capability of the spirit men or women that they are. We have rules of conduct for our faithful spirits, but tolerate misuse of these powers for Lucifer and his evil hosts for now.
Satan and his devils may deceive others by appearing as aliens of some concocted shape, they may appear as disguised or imitated individuals, or even appear as animals. They may appear as angels of light to mortals. However, in every case they are detectable by the faithful who call upon us in humble prayer for confirmation. This is why you have continually asked our faithful mortal angels to receive a spiritual confirmation that what you write is of God and not of man or of devils.
D&C 46:7-8
"But ye are commanded in all things to ask of God, who giveth liberally; and that which the Spirit testifies unto you even so I would that ye should do in all holiness of heart, walking uprightly before me, considering the end of your salvation, doing all things with prayer and thanksgiving, that ye may not be seduced by evil spirits, or doctrines of devils, or the commandments of men; for some are of men, and others of devils.
Wherefore, beware lest ye are deceived."
You have continually sought the guidance of God and the Spirit in discerning whether you are being led on the correct path or not, Raphael. Many of our mortal children, however, are deceived by men or devils, for they do not think to ask of us, or spend time in prayer seeking discernment from God.
We require of the faithful to navigate through the treacherous mortal tests by the Spirit, or the light from God we send to them. The devils have very limited light, which greatly reduces their power to deceive the elect.
When Moses had Satan appear to him, he discerned him because of the lack of light Satan possessed.
Moses 1:13-16-
"And it came to pass that Moses looked upon Satan and said: Who art thou? For behold, I am a son of God, in the similitude of his Only Begotten; and where is thy glory, that I should worship thee?
For behold, I could not look upon God, except his glory should come upon me, and I were transfigured before him. But I can look upon thee in the natural man. Is it not so, surely?
Blessed be the name of my God, for his Spirit hath not altogether withdrawn from me, or else where is thy glory, for it is darkness unto me? And I can judge between thee and God; for God said unto me: Worship God, for him only shalt thou serve.
Get thee hence, Satan; deceive me not; for God said unto me: Thou art after the similitude of mine Only Begotten."
Raphael, some of our children will be deceived by Satan, but the elect will do as Moses did and discern his darkness and by our Spirit know it is the devil. You have had an ancestor who became a preacher to whom a supposed angel appeared with wings. Your ancestor said he felt the air blowing from the flapping of the wings. This was a deception by Satan. Had your ancestor been astute, he would have seen no glory or light in that supposed angel. Had he inquired of us in humble prayer, we would have led him by our Spirit that this was really not of God but of Satan.
You have also talked to some energy workers who say they have seen spirit bears and other creatures, and that they were seeing reincarnated beings. They also think they have been reincarnated from animals or other entities. This is all false, and this deception is all Satan and his hosts who mislead and tR our mortal children on earth. They then may gain the full trust and confidence of our mortal child, and carefully lead them away from God into dark areas and practices.
I tell you now, Raphael, that you are fully clear of Lucifer or any of his evil spirits. You have the shield of the Father to keep them now away from your spirit and your person. You have been given our power to vanquish these evil deceptive spirits to the prison orb when they overstep the bounds we have set in which they may act. You have been strictly following our direction in acting in your unique role. We have given you our scarlet-red angled sash, an emblem of the power of God, and your sword of Raphael to vanquish the evil spirits to the prison orb as we direct. This work now occupies a good portion of your activity in the spiritual realms of the earth.
To the faithful we say to be humble and seek our Spirit in discerning the truth, and the spirits that are in the land. You have power of perception and power over these evil spirits. Let them trouble you no longer. Seek to possess the shields of the Father and we will safely lead you in every time of trouble. Oh we love you, our elect!'
I saw a warm smile on my Heavenly Mother as she finished speaking to me! I felt assured she would guide every soul and help them in seeking truth and seeking God."

Moses 1:27-28
27 And it came to pass, as the voice was still speaking, Moses cast his eyes and beheld the earth, yea, even all of it; and there was not a particle of it which he did not behold, discerning it by the Spirit of God.
28 And he beheld also the inhabitants thereof, and there was not a soul which he beheld not; and he discerned them by the Spirit of God; and their numbers were great, even numberless as the sand upon the sea shore.
125B10-125B13: "My Heavenly Mother then smiled broadly as her intense light of the Holy Ghost flowed into and through me! I then saw a vision of my Heavenly Parents' elect children, their many paths and their glorious destinies! I felt so happy to see them in choosing God over the world. I saw that they each chose the ways that God revealed to them, and were carefully led by the spirit of God, even to receive all things. Their destiny was remarkable! I saw glimpses into their lives as they struggled and grew, trying again and again to overcome weaknesses of the flesh through Jesus Christ, their Great Redeemer.
I saw that as many as wanted to progress and grow, could and did attain. They had to choose on their own volition, and then our Heavenly Parents and Jesus Christ would help them, one step at a time. The vision was in my mind, and somehow I could see all of the elect at the same time! It was like the vision Moses saw and recorded in Moses 1:27-28-
"And it came to pass, as the voice was still speaking, Moses cast his eyes and beheld the earth, yea, even all of it, and there was not a particle of it which he did not behold, discerning it by the spirit of God.
And he beheld also the inhabitants thereof, and there was not a soul which he beheld not; and he discerned them by the spirit of God; and their numbers were great, even numberless as the sand upon the sea shores."
It is hard to see this in my conscious mind, except in little glimpses, but I saw it in my unconscious mind, even all of the elect of God. I could somehow zoom up and see into their personal lives, their struggles, and their choices to select God above all other choices. I saw these wonderful men and women acting in obedience and being led by God.
I thanked both my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother for their words and revelations this beautiful morning! I feel so honored to receive such truths from them daily."
163B5-163B22, from Heavenly Mother: "'Raphael, when you are in a meditative and clear state, like you are now, you are in a very open and receptive condition. Anything that I may even whisper into your mind you will pick up and receive. You are clear and very perceptive to anything I might say. This is the true order of prayer! I have revealed this to you before in your post 142D24.
You don't need to ever try to preconceive what I or your Heavenly Father might share with you, or even have questions to ask of us when you come to us in prayer. You only need to be clear and open to receive, even as you are this morning. This is the condition of your heart and mind. We may then guide you in whatever we desire. This is the true order of prayer. Oh, I wish more of our beloved children on earth would come to us, their Heavenly Parents, in such openness and desire to hear our words and to follow our counsels! We would then guide them gently, considering where they are in their progress in coming unto us, and reveal our will to them gradually. We love when our children consistently come to us in the true order of prayer often. This allows us to shape and bless them abundantly.'
Heavenly Mother then reached out and touched my eyes with her fingers. 'Raphael, I want to show you how many of our children really are coming to Jesus Christ, your Heavenly Father or me in a state of humble and open prayer.'
She withdrew her hand from my eyes, and then I felt to look to my left side. I saw my Heavenly Mother looking there too.
I then saw with my spiritual eyes, somehow, all of the children of God now in mortality! I felt like Moses described, where he beheld the earth, even all of it, discerning all by the Spirit of God:
Moses 1: 27-28-
And it came to pass, as the voice was still speaking, Moses cast his eyes and beheld the earth, yea, even all of it; and there was not a particle of it which he did not behold, discerning it by the Spirit of God.
And he beheld also the inhabitants thereof, and there was not a soul which he beheld not; and he discerned them by the Spirit of God; and their numbers were great, even numberless as the sand upon the sea shore.
Heavenly Mother spoke: 'Raphael, you are able to see all of the inhabitants of the earth now, by my Spirit which is upon you. We who are Gods may have this view anytime we desire.
Look now and see how many truly seek to be open and who are humble when they pray to God.'
I then looked with the intention to see how many openly and humbly prayed to God in their lives. These individuals appeared to me as little lights among the vastness of all the others of humanity. There were relatively very few, for I could see hundreds, and hundreds before I could see one who was lit up with the Spirit of God.
Heavenly Mother spoke: 'Those who you see lit up are those who come to us in a pleasing way, being open and humble before us, and who are committed to following their impressions in prayer. It saddens us when so many of our very elect are not yet in a state of open, humble prayer, even occasionally in their lives. How can we lead them and communicate to these if they, of their own will and desire, won't even try to connect to us in prayer and meditation? They are so busy living their lives that they don't slow down and even try to connect to us, in whatever way they may wish.'
I then wondered in my mind how many in the religion I had chosen, the Latter-day Saints, were now in a posture of petitioning God in open and humble prayer? Heavenly Mother spoke: 'Look, and see, Raphael.'
I then looked and saw the group of LDS members, and saw about the same few percentage of those who were praying with open and humble minds and hearts to God, as I had seen before. I wondered how this could be, even with the abundant scriptures and revelations available to these members.
Heavenly Mother spoke: 'Raphael, it is not how available the truths of heaven are to our children, but it is their desires to connect to us, their Gods, that determines their open minds and hearts. There are so many active in the LDS church that have been lulled away into carnal security (2 Nephi 28: 21). They feel they have received and need no more (verse 27). Well did Nephi speak about those who were once enlightened, then felt they have received enough that they need no more:
2 Nephi 28: 30-
"For behold, thus saith the Lord God: I will give unto the children of men line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little; and blessed are those who hearken unto my precepts, and lend an ear unto my counsel, for they shall learn wisdom; for unto him that receiveth I will give more; and from them that shall say, We have enough, from them shall be taken away even that which they have."
Those who reject any further light are worse off than those who are just beginning to receive even a small degree of our enlightenment.'
I looked again and could see so very few in the LDS church who questioned religious things at all, for I perceived they felt their leaders would receive this and they didn't need to worry. I saw the great spirit of complacency and blindness come upon the greater part of the Latter-day Saints. I was chagrined by the malaise! I then spoke to my mother who was in front of me:
'Oh my Heavenly Mother, isn't there something we can do to awaken my fellow members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints?'
She turned to me and quoted a scripture in Luke 16: 31-
"And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead." (see the parable of Lazarus and the rich man, Luke 16: 19-31)
'Raphael, when our Latter-day Saints refuse to receive more truth from us, their Gods, and won't be open or humble as they often once were in an earlier time in their religious life, they will not be persuaded, even though we send you, our archangel, to them, with a voice of thunder to shake the earth. When they are no longer open, they will reject all future promptings that counter their religious views.
What we will do instead is to launch them into great calamity and tribulations, like the rest of the wicked on your earth. There will be some then who awaken and come to us in humility and openness of their hearts, and begin to question their religious moorings.'
My vision of the vast sea of humanity on earth then vanished. Heavenly Mother said I had written accurately in my journal my experience with her. She then smiled and departed.
I thanked her for this remarkable vision and closed my prayer in the name of Christ."

Moses 1:32-33
32 And by the word of my power, have I created them, which is mine Only Begotten Son, who is full of grace and truth.
33 And worlds without number have I created; and I also created them for mine own purpose; and by the Son I created them, which is mine Only Begotten.
91E1-91E9: "I have thought more on the role of the Redeemer or Christ of each eternity. Here is the next scripture I wanted to now resolve...Jehovah talked to Moses from the burning bush. He spoke as if he were the Father (I assume using what is known as the divine investiture of authority). We know he who spoke was the great Redeemer, even the future Jesus Christ, for he spoke to Enoch in the same way-see Moses 7:53).
Moses 1: 32-33
"And by the word of my power, have I created them, which is mine Only Begotten Son, who is full of grace and truth.
And worlds without number have I created; and I also created them for mine own purpose; and by the Son I created them, which is mine Only Begotten."
Also Moses 2:1
"And it came to pass that the Lord spake unto Moses, saying: Behold, I reveal unto you concerning this heaven, and this earth; write the words which I speak. I am the Beginning and the End, the Almighty God; by mine Only Begotten I created these things; yea, in the beginning I created the heaven, and the earth upon which thou standest."
I am still a little confused with the wording here, where God says all things were created by the Son-does he mean "Sons" or all the Redeemers or Christs of previous eternities, including all the gods back to the first parent Gods?
I came today to the beautiful circling waters in Heavenly Mother's upper garden. I knelt in front of the bench facing the water to the south. I asked for my Heavenly Parents to come.
Heavenly Father came immediately to me, standing just above the water! He was majestic, and full of light and power. His visage was happy and I felt so assured in his presence.
He spoke:
'Raphael, our first Gods set a pattern to have their Firstborn Son to be the great Redeemer for the eternity they were currently involved in. They did all things through their Beloved Son. He was beloved because he was fully obedient, and he willingly sacrificed his life by suffering for the sins and weaknesses of all his brothers and sisters who came to their earth. Through him, the parent Gods would do all things required for that eternity.
When referring to all other creations, from all other eternities, we Gods refer to them being created by our Son, even the many Redeemer sons we have chosen for the many eternities. The current Redeemer fills the office and calling of the Messiah, shared by all of these Redeemers from all the eternities of all us many gods. We refer to all the creations in the entire universe as being created by the Son, meaning the Redeemer of each of the many eternities of all the gods, for that is the office and calling of the current Redeemer or the current Son of God.
We also allow our Son, who is the current Redeemer, to speak as if he were I, the Heavenly Father of our galaxy, and also represent all the gods of the great universe. He speaks sometimes as if he were the Heavenly Father of all the many couple gods back to the beginning first Heavenly Father of our first parent Gods.
We do this so that our children may know it is through their own current Son of God that their eternal salvation is dependent upon. He is their only path to an eternal reward in eternity. It is through him only that we, their Heavenly Parents Gods, will accept them back into our presence. He it is who has our full power and authority for all creations in that current eternity.'
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his clarifying words! I feel so clear now on all of this!
Heavenly Father further spoke:
'Raphael, there may be times too that we have you, or a prophet of God, or any one of our children, speak in our name. Whether by an angel or a prophet, or a child, we may speak through these as they are moved upon.
When you speak to the people under our inspiration, as if you were God, or in behalf of us your God, it is the same as if we ourselves speak. You are, of course, not God, but are our steward and servant, speaking under our inspiration and full direction, as we pour out upon you our heavenly light, our Spirit. In this state, you speak the word of God in great power and authority, even as our spokesman and mouth.'
I replied:
'Father, I am humbled to receive thy words, thy revelations! I will only speak in thy name as I am directed to do so, and am inspired by the Spirit. I feel so assured of the many truths I received from thy mouth, and from my Heavenly Mother and my Redeemer! I submit myself as thy humble servant, willing to act and speak and write as I am directed.'
Heavenly Father smiled, and the light of his countenance literally lit up my being, for I was filled with his Spirit he sent to me from his presence! He then departed up into the sky above until he had gone."

Moses 1:38-39
38 And as one earth shall pass away, and the heavens thereof even so shall another come; and there is no end to my works, neither to my words.
39 For behold, this is my work and my glory, to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man.
128B9-128B14: "Tonight I came to the celestial orb at the desert oasis. This was pleasantly warm still from the radiation of the celestial sun. It is curious to me how there is a desert here, when the sun shines like on earth. There are desert plants and animals too, all happy to be in this environment where the sun is very warm in the day and the air is dry. This is all celestial also, anyway, I know our Heavenly Parents may create anything they wish that pleases them.
I came to the water's edge at the desert oasis. I leaned down and drank living water. I asked for one or both of my Heavenly Parents to come. Heavenly Father appeared before me, a little elevated in the air. He appeared very much in control of all of his creations.
He spoke to me:
'Raphael, you are correct that your Heavenly Mother and I like to choose any environment for different sectors of our celestial orb. We change these frequently for each eternity. Only our celestial creations live here, each in their respective climate and habitat. They provide offspring for the animals and plants of our earths that come in each eternity.
We have also created our celestial sun that creates celestial light and heat for or celestial orb, similar to your earth, by control of the celestial sun, water and atmosphere. We have oceans, rivers, mountains and various terrains. We may also control gravity on our celestial orb as we wish. We do all of this for our own purposes in the creation of our worlds and in the support of the eternal progression of our children.
Moses 1:38-39
"And as one earth shall pass away, and the heavens thereof even so shall another come; and there is no end to my works, neither to my words.
For behold, this is my work and my glory-to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man."
Raphael, Moses was shown the creation steps of the earth upon which you stand. (see Moses 1:40) However, we are showing to you our many creations, even much more than the earth, and the laws and principles by which they were created and are governed. We are not holding back from showing you all things, even how all things function and operate, and from what they are created, what they consist of, and how they move in their glory and splendor in all of our created realms and locations! We will reveal all things to you and to our faithful elect, starting in these last days and extending into the millennial days.'
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his truths he reiterated and also revealed anew to me tonight. I told him I loved him!"
185J22-185J27, from Heavenly Mother: "'Raphael, your Heavenly Father spoke to you this morning about a step by step path we have our elect children follow as they seek to come into our presence and come to see our face and our beings. We want them to have such an experience, as a highlight of their sure knowledge that we live and are their loving Gods. We want them to frequently have experiences with us, and to often commune with us. Ultimately, in their journey to be permanently back with us and to be in our highest celestial realms as couple Gods, we want them to be able to view us even during their day, in their mind's eye. This will be a constant prayer experience, for we will be by them, our proven celestial elect, and will become one with them.
All that your Father spoke to you this morning is true, and was given by the revelations of our Holy Spirit. This Spirit is the medium through which our revelations and our words and thoughts are transferred to you and to each of our elect.
In all of our eternities, we have used these same steps of progression for each of our mortal elect children. Whether they are in their mortal probation, in the spirit world, or in another state of progression, these principles are the same. We make sure they grow strong in each step of their progression, here a little and there a little, even until they receive of our fulness.
Every person's progress is slightly different, but in the end each one has experiences that are similar to another. We develop them into the noble son or daughter servant we desire. We mold each one like clay, and as they respond, they gradually change by their own choosing, to become whom we wish them to become. There develops a greater and greater trust in us as they change, and a greater faith and strength in their character. They become more faithful stewards, and more obedient. As this occurs, we confer upon each one more and more of our authority and power, even to act in our holy name.
Your Heavenly Father and I thrill to witness these changes in our beloved children! This involvement with them in such a personal tutoring manner brings us both such joy and satisfaction! This truly is our great work and glory, to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man (see Moses 1:39).'
I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her beautiful words, and for this choice experience to be again in her presence tonight. I told her how grateful I was to be with her and to be a recipient of these great truths."
189E3-189E9: "Heavenly Father walked to me from the top of the switchback path to my north. He walked directly on the gold path until he stood in front of me. He spoke: 'Raphael, when your Heavenly Mother and I created our beautiful celestial orb, we had unlimited amounts of every precious stone or metal to choose from. We also could use any of our own creations in their celestial state to beautify and inhabit our celestial orb. We could build vast structures, or could create beautiful nature vistas depicting any season or environment we wished. We could also change what we created from time to time, all according to our desires. The result was is a beautiful celestial orb that was designed to enhance the glory of this celestial realm. This is "the glory of the celestial, which excels in all things-where God, even the Father, reigns upon his throne forever and ever." (D&C 76:92)
All of this kingdom is to bring joy, happiness, peace, and a place to enliven the soul of man and beast. The heavens and the creations and riches of eternity are all mine to give, even as seems good to me (D&C 67:2). Your Heavenly Mother and I desire to share all of this, even to the fulness of our highest celestial glory, with everyone of our faithful who endure to the end. These ultimately receive all that we have, even celestial glory forever.
Even with all of this wealth and unlimited beauty, our greatest satisfactions and joys are creating our own children and seeing them eventually become even as we are, Gods throughout eternity! There is no greater experience or thing we wish to do. This is why we continue in giving birth to our vast amount of children, one eternity after eternity, to share with them our life and to thrill in the process of bringing them into a glorious state like we enjoy.
Moses 1:39
"For behold, this is my work and my glory--to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man."
The progress of our beloved sons and daughters is our great work. We are continually involved in this, and never tire of the process. Our children, like you, who are our creations and who follow our divine plan, bring us great joy and eternal rewards. Even those who are willing to receive only a lesser degree of glory bring us satisfaction, for they choose on their own part of our glory that we are willing to share. Those who receive no kingdom of glory, who rebel and fight against us continually, bring us sadness. The heights of our joy necessarily also bring the possibilities of these great disappointments. However, by far the joys outweigh the sorrows in the entire process of bringing forth and creating our own children.
Raphael, your Heavenly Mother and I are very pleased to give all to you, and to our faithful elect, as you all prove to us you can receive and handle it. By our methods of gradually helping our children progress, we are assured they will be where they truly desire to be. Those who ultimately become as we are, Gods in eternity, are those that give us the greatest joy.
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his truths. I told him I love being in his and Heavenly Mother's presence. I said I was so very thankful for his plan for us, their children, to progress and grow like them. I told him I love him."

Moses 2:2,6-8
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and I caused darkness to come up upon the face of the deep; and my Spirit moved upon the face of the water; for I am God.
6 And again, I, God, said: Let there be a firmament in the midst of the water, and it was so, even as I spake; and I said: Let it divide the waters from the waters; and it was done;
7 And I, God, made the firmament and divided the waters, yea, the great waters under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament, and it was so even as I spake.
8 And I, God, called the firmament Heaven; and the evening and the morning were the second day.
100G13-100G20, from Heavenly Father: "Now I will return to the first day of the physical creation:
Moses 2:2
"And the earth was without form, and void; and I caused darkness to come up upon the face of the deep; and my Spirit moved upon the face of the water; for I am God."
The above description followed the molten earth after it cooled. The earth at that time was crusted over, and was without form and void. There was not yet atmosphere or water on its surface. We three Gods (including Immanuel who was to be a God soon), then created the water. We took again elemental matter and brought the spirit water that we had previously created, and placed the matter on the spirit water. We followed the same procedure as we did in the physical creation of the earth in creating the physical water. The scripture above states that the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the water, for the water completely covered the physical earth's crust that had cooled.
The earth was thus in her current solar system, in her set times and rotations, and she was immersed in water. The sun shone upon the earth at different times as it rotated between day and night. This ended the first day of the physical creation of the earth.
In the second day or time of the physical creation, we divided the water. We brought elemental matter and brought the spirit atmosphere to the earth. We added the matter to the spirit atmosphere and created physical atmosphere. The atmosphere then became more heated over the regions near the equator than over the water at the poles from the heating of the sun, and weather patterns and ocean currents. This is the meaning of the great waters under the firmament (oceans, lakes) from the waters above the firmament (water vapor in the clouds and precipitation that falls on the earth and the large bodies of water).
The firmament was the physical atmosphere which we called heaven, for it was above the physical waters and earth. The waters were now divided, the greater part remained in the ocean and the lesser part evaporated into the atmosphere.
Here now is the scriptural account of the second day of the physical creation on the earth:
Moses 2:6-8
"And again, I, God, said: Let there be a firmament (atmosphere) in the midst of the water (the water in the ocean and the water in the atmosphere that had evaporated), and it was so, even as I spake; and I said: Let it divide the waters from the waters (waters in the oceans and waters in the clouds in the atmosphere); and it was done;
And I, God, made the firmament (atmosphere) and divided the waters, yea, the great waters under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament, and it was so even as I spake.
And I, God, called the firmament Heaven (the atmosphere or the sky above the large waters); and the evening and the morning were the second day."
At the end of the second day the earth was still fully immersed in the ocean waters, and the atmosphere and a smaller portion of the waters as clouds were above the ocean waters. There was not yet dry land."
______________________________
Moses 2:9-10
9 And I, God, said: Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and it was so; and I, God, said: Let there be dry land; and it was so.
10 And I, God, called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters, called I the Sea; and I, God, saw that all things which I had made were good.
100G21-100G23, from Heavenly Father: "On the third day of creation we commanded the earth to rise up above the ocean waters to cause dry land to appear. At this primeval day, there was one large land mass that appeared with the ocean waters receding to a smaller deeper ocean. There were many lakes on the land, rivers and streams. There were mountains, plains and all sorts of topography on the dry land.
Moses 2:9-10
"And I, God, said: Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together into one place, and it was so; and I, God, said: Let there be dry land, and it was so.
And I, God, called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters, called I the Sea; and I, God, saw that all things which I had made were good."
This was the state of the earth before plants were introduced on the surface of the earth. There was rocky ground for it had recently been hardened as it cooled, and been immersed in the water. There was no vegetation yet on the earth or in the waters. The only living entities were Mother Earth, the water, and the atmosphere."
169H4-169H17: "I looked in my scriptures and in my previous posts and found something which I was confused about. Here is my question I posed to my Heavenly Father:
'Heavenly Father, in my post 100G17-100G19 you gave me a description of the physical reaction of the earth, and the definition of the firmament. I recorded that the firmament was the atmosphere or the sky above the large waters that were covering the earth. Yesterday, Heavenly Mother said that the two large masses above and below the earth pulled the excess waters above the firmament (earth) and below the firmament (see above in this post 169G1). Can you please clarify what firmament in Moses 2:6-8 it is referring to? Is it the atmosphere or the earth?'
Heavenly Father responded: 'Raphael, this is a good question. The correct meaning of firmament in Moses 2:6-8 is the atmosphere, for at that time the waters completely covered the earth and no land was exposed above the waters. The atmosphere around the earth completely covered the earth, above the waters. There was water below the firmament (ocean waters) and water above the firmament (clouds and water vapor in the air).
When your Heavenly Mother referred yesterday to waters above the earth and below the earth, she was referring to the orientation of above as north along the earth's axis, and below as south along the axis. The firmament at this time (the atmosphere) was held tight to the earth above the waters by the earth's gravitational pull, even as it is today on earth.
When we brought the two large masses to the earth above the north pole and below the south pole, these large mass bodies came above the firmament or atmosphere of the earth to the north, and below the firmament to the south. The waters on the earth receded to these large masses, leaving waters on the earth's surface to be gathered to one place, and allowing bare land to appear (see Moses 2:9 "And I, God, said: Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and it was so; and I, God, said: Let there be dry land; and it was so.").
When you wrote paragraph 169G1 above, you wrote that "the excess waters above the firmament (earth) or below the firmament". You should have more properly written "the excess waters above the firmament (atmosphere around the earth) or below the firmament". Please make this correction in what you wrote yesterday.'
I then immediately made this small correction in my wording of what I wrote yesterday when Heavenly Mother spoke to me.
'Raphael, please make the same correction in paragraph 169F11 where you also referred to firmament as the earth.'
I then corrected this also.
'Raphael, these two entries are the phrases we wanted you to correct in your record. Your account now is acceptable and accurate before us.'
I then asked my Heavenly Father another question: 'My Heavenly Father, did the atmosphere around the earth also move along with the ocean waters to the north and south large mass bodies?'
Heavenly Father responded: The atmosphere on the earth did extend above the waters that were pulled above and below the earth to the large mass bodies. However, the atmosphere became very thin as it extended away from the earth, for the earth's gravitational pull is much larger than the two masses. There were some ocean creatures like fish and whales that ventured up into the pulled waters above and below the earth, but these waters are not as oxygenated over time since the atmosphere thins out closer to the two masses, and there is not much plant life. The water never touches these two masses, but bulges towards them, making the depth of these northern and southern waters very deep. This higher depth also makes migration of ocean animals and plants not as abundant in these ocean bulges. There is less food to eat in these ocean bulges, so our ocean creatures mostly stay in the oceans closer to the earth's crust.
When these waters were released at the time of the flood, the waters quickly mixed with the "sea east" waters, and all of the now larger oceans soon became filled with abundant life. When the two masses return above and below the earth's axis, the ocean creatures will again populate the waters in the "sea east" that will over time be formed again.'
I asked how long before the continents would move and the east sea is settled and in place. Heavenly Father responded: 'Raphael, these changes will all take place within a five year period when Nibiru brings back the two large mass bodies to the earth's poles. After five years, the earth, its oceans and waters, and the atmosphere, will all be stable and remain in this state through the millennium.'
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his corrections, and for his new insights I received this morning!"

12 And the earth brought forth grass, every herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed should be in itself, after his kind; and I, God, saw that all things which I had made were good;

Wed, Nov 13, 2024
I was relaxing yesterday and wondered about the details of the spirit creation of the earth. I have previously written about the telestial, terrestrial and celestial physical creations. However, I knew that the earth was spiritually created in the beginning also. Was this one spirit creation for each of these realms, or was there a separate spirit creation for each of the telestial, terrestrial and celestial realms? I also knew that the creation of all living things that would populate the earth were created in heaven, in a premortal spirit state. This is explained by Heavenly Mother below in 89C11-89C14. However, what about the earth itself, and her spirit creation? Weren't there the three realms of telestial, terrestrial and celestial that were created separately in the spirit, even before the earth was created physically in these same realms?
I came with these questions before my Heavenly Father yesterday. He asked me to write his words as he would give them to me. However, before this happened, I read all about what he and Heavenly Mother had revealed to me previously. When done, I was too tired to effectively write his words. I feel refreshed today, and humbly pray again that he will speak to me on this subject. I am ready to receive his words, now being in a meditative and quiet state, early in the morning before the family arises.
Here are his words that now come into my mind:
"Raphael, it is pleasing to me that you have prepared so well to receive my words, my revelations to your heart and mind, about the details of the spirit creation of the earth upon which you live.
Once all of our creations that would populate the earth were created in their celestial spirit state on our celestial orb, as previously explained by your Heavenly Mother to you (see 50I10-50I11 below), we then created the earth in her spirit state, even before she was created naturally, or physically.
The way we created the spirit earth was this: the intelligence of the earth was selected by both your Heavenly Mother and I. We also obtained elemental matter, and brought these both to two of our resurrected celestial earths: one of our female earths and one of our male earths. We told these resurrected earths to create a new earth in their image, of the same size and shape as they were.
We brought the intelligence to the male resurrected earth, and he took it, came near to the female earth, and he transferred this intelligence, along with some of his own celestial material to her, in a procreation process, approved by our first parent Gods. The female earth then had some of the physical substance from the male earth, plus the intelligence we had chosen, which constituted the seed of the new earth. We gave this mother earth most of the elemental matter, so she could use this to create the new earth. We also gave to the male earth enough of this same elemental matter to replace what he had removed from his own earth when he transferred to the mother earth some of his own substance.
The seed of your new female earth was then developed, along with the elemental matter, in this celestial resurrected mother earth until your new spirit earth was ready to be born. In this development process, the mother earth transferred to your new earth the knowledge of how to function and what would happen to her in her future life. This was akin to a procreation process, or pregnancy in others of our creations. This new earth was to become your mother earth upon which you live.
Once this new spirit earth was fully developed, she was born in a spirit state. She came forth from the celestial mother earth in the same size and shape as her celestial mother earth, but in a spirit state only. When she exited her mother earth, she had four new spirit realms: a telestial, terrestrial, celestial and a highest celestial realm. These realms were all void of animal and plant life, and void of an atmosphere and water. However, each realm had refined material substance which constituted the spirit foundational rock substance in each of the four realms.
This birth process of your spirit earth was done in the skies above our celestial orb where the mother earth was rotating around our celestial orb. This is the location of all of earths from each eternity, who all rotate around our celestial orb and look like stars in the sky at night, as seen from our celestial orb. When your mother earth was born, she rotated in the skies next to her own mother and father earth.
It was in this state of your spirit earth that your Heavenly Mother, Immanuel and I came to the highest celestial realms of this new earth. This is the realm reserved for us Gods. We discussed our plan for the earth, and began completing the spirit creation in these four realms. We first brought water and atmosphere to her surface, in a similar procreative process created from water and atmosphere from our own celestial orb. These were each birthed by the creative process that waas instituted from the beginning by our first parent Gods for these entities. Each of the new water and new atmosphere on the spirit earth also had its own intelligence and elemental matter. The new spirit water came into the four spirit realms of your earth, all controlled by one intelligent. The new spirit atmosphere also came into the four spirit realms on earth, also controlled by one intelligence. At that time, the earth had three intelligent and functioning beings: the earth, the water, and the atmosphere, each dwelling in four spirit realms.
Your mother earth was next ready to have Immanuel, our chosen firstborn son in the spirit from this eternity, to act under our direction to complete the earth's spirit creation. This was all done in the skies above our celestial orb on the spirit earth. Spirit plants and spirit animals, birthed from resurrected celestial entities of their same species, were brought to your earth in her four spirit realms. These beautified and greatly enhanced the earth in its spirit state. These all populated these four realms so that these spirit realms would be glorious and lovely to those who would dwell or visit therein.
When the earth was later physically created, the same celestial resurrected parent beings that created or bore their spirit offspring, also bore these offspring again in the physical realm. The premortal spirits of these entities were placed into the newborn physical entities, so that the spirit became part of the physical body or entity. For example, the new physical water contained additional elemental matter plus the premortal spirit water that had been earlier created. A new physical oak tree contained temporal elements plus the premortal spirit oak tree that had been previously created in the spirit creation. Our first temporal children, Adam and Eve, were birthed by Heavenly Mother as physical immortal children, with their premortal spirits inside their bodies. They possessed tangible, physical bodies of flesh and spirit, with no blood until after their fall into mortality. This same pattern of flesh and spirit creation occurred for each plant and animal.
After the fall of man, all the physical creation also changed into a mortal, fallen condition. When our children, plants and animals were to die in their mortal bodies, then their physical bodies were to decompose into the physical earth, and their eternal spirits were to go into the same spirit realm on the earth that had at first been created. The telestial and terrestrial spirit realms of the dead became part of the telestial and terrestrial realms. Our children would go to an area in these realms, awaiting their resurrection.
None of our spirit children were allowed to go into the celestial spirit realm when they died unless they had a mission that required them to do so. This celestial spirit realm was reserved for the spirit angels and other celestial spirit servants to minister from to those on the earth. The highest celestial realm was reserved for use of us who are Gods.
The celestial physical earth was created after the death of Jesus Christ and prior to the creation of the physical celestial New Jerusalem. We planted a celestial forest and celestial resource area from which physical materials for the New Jerusalem Temple and grounds were to be constructed.
The creation of the terrestrial and telestial physical earth has been revealed to you previously by your Heavenly Mother and I."
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his new revelation on the creation of the earth, particularly in the spirit realms! I received this new information with joy! I then confirmed in a prayer that what I had written was all true and from my Heavenly Father. I confirmed this again with Heavenly Mother tonight in my prayer.
I have included some references to the spirit and physical creations below. These are very enlightening also, and confirm what I received today. I did not read these prior to receiving today's revelation from Heavenly Father. The information below is very congruent with what I received about the spirit creation in the four realms of glory.
50D6-50D7, from both Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother: "The physical earth [from Heavenly Father on Nov 13, 2024: this should state "telestial mortal earth"] has never been elevated to a celestial state before, but was created in both the telestial and terrestrial spheres. This is the environment of the physical creation of the earth.
The introduction of celestial element to the [mortal] earth was first done this past Sunday, 4-23-2017, where living celestial water was brought by the holy angels from the celestial Lake Beautiful, and poured into the underground telestial reservoir. The celestial gold and silver pails were placed on the telestial earth, to merge into the elements there. This is the beginning of the birth of the [mortal] earth to a celestial state, isolated for the millennium to the New Jerusalem area where Jesus Christ will reign. Ultimately, the earth will die and be resurrected an entire celestial earth, to be located next to the celestial world where God dwells."
50I10-50I11, from Heavenly Mother: "For those elemental intelligences that were chosen by us to become animals and plants, a similar process took place. We approached each one, or as a group of intelligences, and received permission to organize them into a class of living spirit entities. Resurrected animals or plants were given the intelligence, and procreated these into the likeness of themselves. For plants, these were seeds, and for animals, these were live offspring, eggs, or other procreative ways that we have devised that are repeated on earth. These intelligences also had added celestial matter in creating a spirit animal or plant, from their resurrected parent. These then grew as our spirit creations in our premortal celestial world.
A similar process occurs for the earths and other planets we create. All of our creations are first created in the spirit, before being created physically. It is an amazing process, all possible because we are God with this creative ability and keys.'"
89C11-89C14: "Heavenly Mother then appeared at my side, also looking at the circling waters. I wondered what she saw there and what she was looking at in the water.
Heavenly Mother then spoke:
'Raphael, I am looking into the living water at a plant and a fish in the water. These currently reside here in my upper garden stream. They love to live here! When these fish and plants were created, they had first a spirit creation here in our celestial world. They were both living in a stream in another part of our orb where all were spirit creations. Then this fish and plant came to an earth like yours for a mortal experience. The fish was hatched from a mother fish egg and the plant was propagated in a mountain stream on earth. They subsequently died and their spirits came to the world of spirits around their earth. The spirit world was populated by many of our own children awaiting their resurrection.
In the time of the celestial resurrection of our beloved children in the last eternity that was completed, this fish and plant were also resurrected to a celestial glory. They were both placed in this mountain stream by myself at the end of that eternity, before your eternity began.
Raphael, we change our celestial orb around for each new eternity. The temple, our heavenly home, remains the same structure, but we may change the inside rooms to meet our desires. We also change the surface of our celestial orb to bring variety and change. What does not change is our great love for our children who come forth in each eternity! We also don't change our basic patterns of creating all things spiritually before they were naturally upon the earth.
Moses 3:5
"And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew. For I, the Lord God, created all things, of which I have spoken, spiritually, before they were naturally upon the face of the earth."
All of our creations, including plants, animals and even orbs and planets, were created spiritually before we created them naturally on their earth. They were also resurrected to a level of other celestial, terrestrial or telestial glory. They accompany our own children who received their salvation to their eternal worlds of glory, some to celestial, terrestrial and telestial glories. In each of these worlds, our plants and animals are very pleased to exist and continue with them and desire to bless our own children in their worlds of glory!'
I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her discussion of this fish and plant and how they progressed. I was enlightened, as always, by her revelation!
I looked again down into the water and looked at this fish and the water plant. I then realized these were each created spiritually, naturally and then resurrected while I was still in my intelligence state! These creations were from the previous eternity!
I then looked into the eyes of my Heavenly Mother. She has been through countless eternities herself, with my Heavenly Father! She certainly knows what she has repeatedly done for each eternity. I felt so blessed to have her wealth of knowledge and experience!"
77G3-77G10, from Heavenly Father: "'Raphael, come now with us to the beginning when we created the earth upon which you live!'
Both he and Heavenly Mother extended their hands to me, I took each and we travelled back in time to a very distant place where the intelligences are located.
When we arrived, I watched what actually happened in the beginning, when our Mother Earth was created.
Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother worked as an amazing team. They came to an intelligence among many other intelligences. Heavenly Father spoke to this intelligence, all done in his directed thoughts:
'I and my eternal companion next to me are Gods in a distant galaxy. We have come to you today to ask you to become an earth for one of our eternities! We have offspring in our own image, and many plants and animals that we have created. All of these we wish to live on your surface as an earth in the midst of our galaxy. We have a progression of growth for these, but need an orb on which these may dwell. Would you accept our offer to create you into our earth for these, our creations?'
The intelligence he was talking to conveyed this message:
'Oh God, I would be so honored to become an earth for you and your eternal companion next to you. I accept your offer!'
Heavenly Father smiled on the intelligence, and then took the intelligence in his hand and then he and Heavenly Mother went to a new location. I came with them. Heavenly Mother spoke next to me:
'Raphael, your Heavenly Father has the intelligence in his hand, and I will now select the material from which this intelligence will be formed into a spirit earth.'
Heavenly Mother then reached out with both her hands and scooped up in her hands something. As she did, I saw behind her a large mass of matter move. We then came back to the center of their galaxy-Heavenly Father with the intelligence in his hand and Heavenly Mother with the very large mass of matter following her, in her scooped hands.
They then came to one of the celestial mother earths and a celestial father earth near Kolob, at the center of their galaxy. Heavenly Father first came for a father earth, which was celestial and resurrected. He spoke to this father earth:
'My celestial father earth, I have in my hand a new intelligence we wish to have birthed into a new mother earth. Please accept this intelligence in your celestial being to transfer to a mother celestial earth.'
Heavenly Father then placed the intelligence into the celestial father earth.
Heavenly Mother then brought the mass of material to an adjacent celestial female earth, also resurrected, and spoke to her:
'Oh my beautiful mother earth, please accept into your being this mass of matter I have brought. This I have selected for a new spirit earth that we wish you to birth. My husband, your God, has placed the intelligence of this future earth into your celestial father earth next to you.'
I then saw the mass of matter enter into this celestial mother earth.
I then saw that the father earth came next to the mother earth. Their surfaces touched and the intelligence that Heavenly Father placed in the father earth moved from the father earth to the mother earth. Once transferred, the father earth moved back to his position near Kolob, the central governing start of the galaxy.
The celestial mother earth then had the intelligence and the mass of material inside of her massive orb. In time, I saw that she birthed a new spirit earth! The earth came from her celestial being, and was the same size as she was. However, this new earth was composed of spirit matter, not celestial physical matter in a resurrected state like that of the mother earth. I saw also that this new earth was a female earth.
Heavenly Mother then spoke to me:
'Raphael, you have seen, step by step, how your Mother Earth was created in her spirit state in the beginning. All things are created spiritually before physically or naturally, including this earth you see. This is your own Mother Earth in the beginning. She is destined to become a celestial Mother Earth like the one that birthed her.'
I then thanked my kind and loving Heavenly Parents for showing me this wonderful process of the birth of our Mother Earth! All of this was so completely new to me, and also seemed so true and very reasonable! I then ended my prayer and started my Saturday."
77G13-77G15, from Heavenly Mother: "'Raphael, you might wonder how this living water in the stream and waterfall system differs from the other living water in our celestial world. These waters are controlled by the same single intelligence that we have place into the living water when we created it. The water at the desert oasis, this mountain stream system, the three rivers coming from the fountain of living water, and Lake Beautiful and all other sources of water in our kingdom are all the same entity with one intelligence. This living water knows what each part of it does, even though separated.
This same principle is followed for our celestial orb-all ground, rocks, soil, mountains, sand, forest soil and controlled by one intelligence that we have created. This is the same in your world with Mother Earth. Mother Earth is the single entity that controls all rocks, mountains, substructure of the earth and all land masses. Mother Earth controls all of these. The waters on the earth, whether in the lakes, oceans, streams, or atmosphere are also controlled by one living entity of water that we have created with its own intelligence.
Therefore, Raphael, when you ask water on earth to stop or move, or a rock or a mountain to move, these need to be addressed to the water intelligence or the Mother Earth intelligence, respectively. You have to be specific which entity to ask to do our desire when we ask you to do a certain thing.
For living plants and animals, each living entity has its own spirit and intelligence separate from another. For example, a fir tree has its own spirit and intelligence but a new fir tree that came up from seed next to it has different spirit and intelligence. All living entities have a spirit and intelligence, for all things were created spiritually before naturally on the earth. This is also true in heaven."
100G2-100G8: "Heavenly Mother spoke:
'Raphael, we both came to you last night and took you to the earth in the beginning of its physical creation. This morning you had read about the spiritual birth of your own female earth. She had spirit elemental matter and intelligence. She was spiritually created at that time and was nigh unto our celestial orb.
We had spirit seeds planted on our spirit earth and brought forth all of our spirit creations on our spirit earth, just like we would repeat again one day on our physical earth.
When all things had been created spiritually on the earth, we then removed these and brought them to our celestial rob. The spirit earth was then ready for her birth physically. All the spirit atmosphere, spirit waters, all her spirit plants and animals were brought to our very large celestial orb and the earth was again as she was in her primeval days of her spirit creation, void of all other life on her spirit surface.
Your Heavenly Father and I then brought our Beloved Son, Immanuel, at this time, and came to our spirit earth. We asked our spirit earth to come with us to her new place in our galaxy. We took her to your solar system where she is now. We all three then traveled past the boundaries of the universe where is located the intelligences and elemental matter. We left the earth in her new solar system. We asked our Beloved Son to scoop elemental matter from this location outside the boundaries of the universe, done with our power of being Gods. Immanuel was not ordained to be a God, so he had to act with our power.
Immanuel scooped up elemental matter and held this in his hands, through our power. We then all three returned to our spiritual earth with the new elemental matter held by Immanuel.
The Father then asked our son, Immanuel, to place all of the new elemental matter on the spirit earth. Immanuel did so. The Father then spoke these words:
"Our Mother Earth, our Beloved Son Immanuel has placed a large amount of new elemental matter on your being. This is required for physical birth. I now command all of the new elemental matter to disperse evenly over your entire spirit being, matching up with every particle of your own spirit elemental matter."
At that point, the new elemental matter dispersed into the earth, fully spreading out entirely on and in the earth.
The Father then continued:
"Now that the new elemental matter is dispersed, I command this new elemental matter to become physical molten rock in the composition I desire."
At that moment, the entire earth became molten rock, taking the exact shape and size of the spirit earth. The earth had been spiritually created and birthed before by one of our celestial spirit earths near our own celestial home. Now, for the first time, your Mother Earth had also physical elemental matter, created into molten rock. The earth had full control of her spirit earth matter and now her physical molten rock matter. She consisted of one intelligence, and spirit matter and physical matter. She was without form on her surface and was spherical in her overall shape. Her size and mass were those she currently has today.
We then asked our Beloved Son, Immanuel, to set the times and seasons of the earth, by our power of being Gods. He then commanded the earth to rotate around the physical sun in her current path and orbit. He then commanded the earth to rotate so as to cause her surface to intermittently be light and dark, from the sun at the center of the solar system. Immanuel then commanded the moon to rotate in an orbit around the new physical earth. We all three watched until all of the commands of Immanuel were fulfilled according to our desires.
This is the state that your Heavenly Father and I brought you to the earth last night in your prayer. You saw the molten earth below us, newly physically created and placed in her current position in your own solar system.
Raphael, this was the first day of creation for our physical earth. We will return tonight to continue sharing with you the physical creation of your earth.'
I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her detailed description of how the earth was physically created in the beginning. I had no idea before how this was done. I was glad to see that Jesus Christ, then named Immanuel, had created the physical earth by the power of his Heavenly Parents who were next to him. I was impressed by all of these details!
I told my Heavenly Parents how pleased I was to receive the story of the creation of my beautiful earth upon which I live! I told them I loved them so very much too. I then closed my prayer and started a new day."
100G10-100H16: "Heavenly Father spoke to me:
'Raphael, your Heavenly Mother shared with you details of the physical birth of your Mother Earth. This mystery has never been revealed to man and was reserved to come forth in these last days when all things are to be revealed. We created the earth in the beginning through our Beloved Son, Immanuel, early in the premortal phase of our own family of spirit children.
The story of the creation in Abraham chapters 4-5 states that the Gods created the heavens and the earth. The Gods consisted of your Heavenly Mother, our Son Immanuel (soon to be a God when he was to be named Jehovah), and me, your Heavenly Father. There were seven times or periods that we created the earth, both in a spirit state and then in a physical state. The two creation stories in your scriptures (Abraham Chapters 4-5 and Moses Chapter 2) speak of this division of both the spirit creation and the physical creation. We patterned the days of creation in both the spirit creation and the physical creation to be the same. The spirit creation of the earth is more clearly recorded in the Abraham account and the physical creation is more clearly record in the Moses account. The spirit creation was done on the spirit earth and on our celestial orb. When the seventh time was concluded in the spirit creation we, the Gods and creators, had formed all the generations of the heaven and the earth.
Abraham 5:4-5 (Heavenly Father's comments in parenthesis)-
"And the Gods came down (from the celestial orb) and formed these the generations of the heavens (all the atmosphere and birds that fly, and all that is above the earth) and of the earth, when they were formed in the day that the Gods formed the earth and the heavens (in its spirit state).
According to all that which they had said concerning every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew (this was the spirit creation, for all the generations of every plant and animal and our own children had been created in this premortal state prior to coming to the physical earth for their mortal experience); for the Gods had not caused it to rain upon the earth when they counseled to do them, (or create them) and had not formed a man to till the ground (all men and women were created first spiritually before the first man Adam came to till the earth, in the physical creation of man)."
Now I will return to the first day of the physical creation:
Moses 2:2
"And the earth was without form, and void; and I caused darkness to come up upon the face of the deep; and my Spirit moved upon the face of the water; for I am God."
The above description followed the molten earth after it cooled. The earth at that time was crusted over, and was without form and void. There was not yet atmosphere or water on its surface. We three Gods (including Immanuel who was to be a God soon), then created the water. We took again elemental matter and brought the spirit water that we had previously created, and placed the matter on the spirit water. We followed the same procedure as we did in the physical creation of the earth in creating the physical water. The scripture above states that the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the water, for the water completely covered the physical earth's crust that had cooled.
The earth was thus in her current solar system, in her set times and rotations, and she was immersed in water. The sun shone upon the earth at different times as it rotated between day and night. This ended the first day of the physical creation of the earth.
In the second day or time of the physical creation, we divided the water. We brought elemental matter and brought the spirit atmosphere to the earth. We added the matter to the spirit atmosphere and created physical atmosphere. The atmosphere then became more heated over the regions near the equator than over the water at the poles from the heating of the sun, and weather patterns and ocean currents. This is the meaning of the great waters under the firmament (oceans, lakes) from the waters above the firmament (water vapor in the clouds and precipitation that falls on the earth and the large bodies of water).
The firmament was the physical atmosphere which we called heaven, for it was above the physical waters and earth. The waters were now divided, the greater part remained in the ocean and the lesser part evaporated into the atmosphere.
Here now is the scriptural account of the second day of the physical creation on the earth:
Moses 2:6-8
"And again, I, God, said: Let there be a firmament (atmosphere) in the midst of the water (the water in the ocean and the water in the atmosphere that had evaporated), and it was so, even as I spake; and I said: Let it divide the waters from the waters (waters in the oceans and waters in the clouds in the atmosphere); and it was done;
And I, God, made the firmament (atmosphere) and divided the waters, yea, the great waters under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament, and it was so even as I spake.
And I, God, called the firmament Heaven (the atmosphere or the sky above the large waters); and the evening and the morning were the second day."
At the end of the second day the earth was still fully immersed in the ocean waters, and the atmosphere and a smaller portion of the waters as clouds were above the ocean waters. There was not yet dry land.
On the third day of creation we commanded the earth to rise up above the ocean waters to cause dry land to appear. At this primeval day, there was one large land mass that appeared with the ocean waters receding to a smaller deeper ocean. There were many lakes on the land, rivers and streams. There were mountains, plains and all sorts of topography on the dry land.
Moses 2:9-10
"And I, God, said: Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together into one place, and it was so; and I, God, said: Let there be dry land, and it was so.
And I, God, called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters, called I the Sea; and I, God, saw that all things which I had made were good."
This was the state of the earth before plants were introduced on the surface of the earth. There was rocky ground for it had recently been hardened as it cooled, and been immersed in the water. There was no vegetation yet on the earth or in the waters. The only living entities were Mother Earth, the water, and the atmosphere.
Raphael, we will continue tomorrow in describing how our plants and animals were introduced on the earth, all in preparation for mankind, our beloved children.'
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his clear and detailed words on the physical creation of the earth, up to the part of the third day of creation. I said I was very enlightened by what he and Heavenly Mother had revealed to me!
I then saw my Heavenly Parents return to the lake and exit back into the sky. I closed my prayer and got ready for bed.
H. R's Personal Journal Entry, November 11, 2018, Sunday
I felt this new morning to come again to the lake at God's Loving Healing Center. I knelt by the bench facing the lake. I asked again for my Heavenly Parents to come. They both appeared to me again in bright light that came upon the lake. They then each walked up to me, holding hands. They were magnificent to behold, with beautiful matching robes! They came up to me, standing a little higher above the ground. They separated and Heavenly Mother asked me to stand and join them. I stood and took their hands, facing their same direction.
We were next over the planet earth in the beginning. I could see the ocean shore, with waves crashing upon the land. We then traveled over the dry land a little inland. I saw a few lakes and rivers. I saw some clouds in the sky. The sun was shining on the rocky land.
Heavenly Mother then spoke:
'Raphael, we will continue sharing with you the events of the physical creation. You see the dry land with the lakes and rivers and streams. The clouds often rain on the rocky ground. There are no plants on the earth. This is the third day of creation that we are witnessing below us.
We then brought living physical seeds and living physical plants upon the earth. These were created in our celestial orb, propagated from celestial resurrected plants and brought to the earth by our spirit children whom we had asked to plant these on the earth.
Moses 2:11-13
"And I, God, said: Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, the fruit tree yielding fruit, whose seed should be in itself, after his kind; and I, God, saw that all things which I had made were good;
And the earth brought forth grass, every herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed should be in itself, after his kind; and I, God, saw that all things which I had made were good;
And the evening and the morning were the third day."
Raphael, we enlisted many of our spirit children to plant these celestial seeds and plants on the earth. The plants grew quickly in the rocky soil, for it was rich in minerals. The sun shone, the rain fell, and the plants grew. Soon our earth was blanketed by vegetation! It became lush and forested in many areas. There were all sorts of plants. These plants were planted as celestial plants, for they were the offspring of our resurrected celestial plants on our celestial orb. They grew, however, on the telestial earth, for we had created this earth in that state once it came into your current solar system. The plants became telestial plants, for the nutrients, water and atmosphere they used were all of the telestial order. The sun and moon were also of the same telestial order. The light and heat coming to the earth from the sun was created from light matter that fell into the sun and was ignited and then shone forth from that very hot star. The very solar system of the earth was located in our galaxy in the outer regions of our galaxy where all planets and stars are telestial.
We concluded the third day or time period of creation with the earth and waters filled with plant life.
The scriptural account of the physical creation next describes that we placed lights in the firmament (skies) above the earth during the fourth day. It states we created the greater light to rule the day (the sun) and the lesser light to rule the night (the moon). It also states that the stars were made. (see Moses 2:14-19) We had already created the sun, the moon and all the stars before the earth was created physically. This region of our galaxy had been created much earlier and had been the residence of previous earths in this epoch.
However, we included the creation of this region of our galaxy as the fourth day of creation to emphasize to those who would read the creation story that we had created all of these stars, moons and planets that are in the heavens. These were created for the day and night, for signs and seasons, for days and years (see Moses 2:14).
At the conclusion of the fourth day of creation, our earth was fully ready for animals to come on its surface and in the waters. Your Heavenly Father and I will continue today to instruct you how this all really happened.'
I thanked my Heavenly Parents for their visit to me today and for bringing me to the earth during its physical creation phase. I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her description. I said I was so pleased that they were revealing all of this to me, their son on the earth! I then lost my connection with my vision and concluded my prayer. I started my new Sabbath day.
After church-
During the sacrament, I came again to the lake at God's Loving Healing Center. When the sacrament was blessed, I saw my Heavenly Parents upon the lake in great light again like I had recently seen them. I made my covenant at the sacrament after the priest blessed the bread. Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother walked then walked up to me while I was kneeling next to the bench.
After I partook of the bread, Heavenly Father spoke to me:
'Raphael, your Heavenly Mother and I accept your covenant to take upon you the name of our Beloved Son, to always remember us, and to keep our commandments.'
He then extended his hand to me. I stood and we were again immediately above the earth at the end of the fourth day.
He spoke again:
'Raphael, during the fifth day we placed animals of the waters in the sea and the lakes and rivers. They came from celestial parents as grown animals to the earth as a male and female of every kind, one of each. They soon became part of the telestial earth and brought forth abundance after their own kind.
We also brought all animals that fly above the earth-birds, flying insects, and winged animals of all kinds. These also came as a male and female of each kind and brought offspring forth abundantly. These became telestial creatures as well, after they had been in the telestial environment for a short time.
On the sixth day we brought forth all land animals:
Moses 2:25
"And I, God, made the beasts of the earth after their kind, and cattle after their kind, and everything which creepeth upon the earth after his kind; and I, God, saw that all these things were good."
These animals were also the offspring of celestial resurrected creatures on our own celestial orb. All of the large animals that you call dinosaurs came forth at this time on the earth. They quickly propagated their own kind in this telestial world.
The sixth time period of creation also included the creation of man. However, we delayed bringing forth man and some other plants and animals that are especially suited for man. The first plants and animals we brought forth in the fifth and sixth days of creation were in the primeval earth to create the soils of the earth and areas like the large coal deposits in the earth. These primeval creations existed in this state for many millions of years. This history is recorded in rock history layers of the earth.
Our intention with the primeval state of the earth was to create the entire rich environment, the soils and the fuel deposits in the earth, all in preparation for the advent of man.
Just before the advent of man, we had the earth fully prepared. We caused almost all life on the earth then to die, so that we could introduce new plants and animals especially suited for man. It was at this time, when the primeval world was nearly at its end, that Lucifer and his hosts were cast into the earth. When we came and brought forth Adam and Eve, the devils were restricted from our terrestrial Garden of Eden. The environment outside of the Garden of Eden was telestial, with hardly any life remaining. This was where Satan and his minions dwelt.'
Later at night-I had written the above entry just moments ago. I am again in my front room and it is past 10:00 p.m.
I am now again ready for further connection with my Heavenly Parents. I came to the lake at God's Loving Healing Center. As I came to the shore facing the lake, I came upon my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother again! I came to my knees before them. I thanked them for sharing with me so much about the physical creation of the earth.
Heavenly Mother then spoke:
'Raphael, the sixth period of creation ended with the creation of man. We have addressed this with you previously. Your Heavenly Father and I came to the Garden of Eden and I bore our two children in their physical states, Adam and Eve. They grew up as our children in our beautiful gardens. When they were of age and adults, we married them as husband and wife. We commanded them to multiply and replenish the earth. However, they were innocent and could not yet fulfill our commandment until they became telestial beings, the first new flesh on the earth in their new world.
This is the last revelation of this series where your Heavenly Father and I come to you and describe the stages of the physical creation of the earth. All things were created for the advent of our beloved children who would come forth for their mortal experience on earth. The earth was prepared sufficiently with beautiful lands, rich fuel deposits, plants and animals of all kinds to bless mankind and enhance the environment.'"

Moses 3:6-9
6 But I, the Lord God, spake, and there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
7 And I, the Lord God, formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul, the first flesh upon the earth, the first man also; nevertheless, all things were before created; but spiritually were they created and made according to my word.
8 And I, the Lord God, planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there I put the man whom I had formed.
9 And out of the ground made I, the Lord God, to grow every tree, naturally, that is pleasant to the sight of man; and man could behold it. And it became also a living soul. For it was spiritual in the day that I created it; for it remaineth in the sphere in which I, God, created it, yea, even all things which I prepared for the use of man; and man saw that it was good for food. And I, the Lord God, planted the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and also the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
May 1-2, 2024
Here are my personal notes from my prayer, see also my notes in verses 6-7 above:
Here is my understanding of these creation verses:
In the first day of creation, the earth was created in a telestial, terrestrial and celestial physical state. In the telestial and terrestrial states, the earth was molten rock which hardened. Each were needing soil in which to grow plants and sustain animal life. Our Heavenly Parents planned that one of these two realms at a time would sustain life while the other rested. The initial soil layers would be created in the first telestial state, where large plants and large animals (dinosaurs) would live and die over long periods of time. All the soils, organic layers such as coal deposits, and rock layers would then be created.
Before Adam's fall, our Heavenly Parents planned that mankind would come to the more elevated physical terrestrial earth. The terrestrial surface then received these soil and organic layers that had been deposited over long periods of time on the telestial physical earth. When transferred from the telestial earth to the surface of the terrestrial earth, the telestial was then returned back to its original rock foundation. This is also where Lucifer and his devils were cast into the earth, in a telestial spirit realm. At some point, all mortal life on the telestial earth died, and it was all covered with water, even before the garden of Eden on the terrestrial earth was planted.
I believe the earth's soil and organic layer switched from the telestial to the terrestrial happened when "there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground." (Moses 3:6). The soil layers were transferred on top of the rock foundation of the terrestrial earth, and the then barren telestial earth was covered with water. See my extensive notes in 3 Nephi 22:3 under the date of July 5-7, 2024.
When the earth was prepared for Adam and Eve, the surface of the earth became a suspended terrestrial physical realm (no death, no mortality, no blood, only spirit and physical bodies), whereas the telestial surface of the earth came under water. This occurred while the terrestrial earth was filled with new plants and animals suitable for man, and that the beautiful garden of Eden housed Adam and Eve.
Once Adam fell, then the suspended terrestrial earth fell too, and everything of plant and animal life also fell, and it all became a mortal telestial earth. This is the same way that the mortal earth is today.
At this same time of the fall, the bare foundations of the terrestrial earth were preserved and mostly came under terrestrial water, except for a rock highway and some elevated land in the western parts of the land of promise. This condition would stay for 6,000 years. There was only land, water and atmosphere, with no plants or animals in this terrestrial mortal state.
At the time of the fall, the precious soil, organic deposits and rock layers were transferred again back to the the telestial physical earth. The same water that had covered the telestial earth before the fall now came over the foundations of the terrestrial earth. The conditions for growing life was switched from the terrestial to the telestial by God. He did this to preserve life on the telestial realm for the first 6,000 years of mortal earth. There would be another transition for the last thousand years to a terrestrial earth. This last time would be in the last days when Zion would be built, and the terrestrial world would again flourish in the millennium.
At the end of the 6,000 years of earth's telestial existence, there will be large surface areas and all underlying telestial earth structure that will be burned and removed from mother earth. The wicked mortal telestial people will also be consumed, their spirits moving into the telestial spirit realm. What will remain will be the terrestrial physical realm and the celestial physical realm on the earth. All of the telestial physical earth will have been consumed and vanished back to elemental matter outside of the universe!
Q: I wonder if the rich soil deposits on the telestial earth will transition into the underlying physical terrestrial earth prior to the destruction of the physical telestial earth. My reasoning is that this soil took a lot of creation time, prior to the advent of man, so that the earth could be ready to plant and house plants, animals and man. I wouldn't think God would destroy the soil layers when the telestial mortal earth is consumed with unquenchable fire.
A, from my Heavenly Father in prayer: "Raphael, your understanding of the manner in which we, your Gods, planned and created your terrestrial and telestial physical earth is correct. These complex changes we made to the physical earth in the telestial and terrestrial realms are great mysteries, never revealed before to man, but that we have revealed to you in your record of Raphael.
You are also correct that we will not destroy the rich soil layers on the telestial earth that we have carefully and so long prepared for the use of our mortal creations. 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.
When you created the island of the New Jerusalem by our power, you raised the land from under the water to create the land mass of the New Jerusalem. This is the same exact location as was the beautiful garden of Eden. Once Adam and Eve were cast out of the garden of Eden, we removed the tree of life and the tree of knowledge of good and evil to our celestial orb. We next preserved this entire garden soil structure on its terrestrial foundation under terrestrial water at the time of the fall of man. However, the remainder of the surface of the terrestrial earth fell to become the telestial mortal earth, along with its soil layers. The underlying terrestrial earth foundation remained, and was mostly covered with terrestrial waters.
At the beginning of the millennium, and the end of the physical telestial earth, we will reverse the process, and once again prepare the physical terrestrial earth with the soil layers that we have so carefully preserved. A similar change will also occur at the end of the millenium, when the soil layers will become part of the resurrected celestial earth."
91H3-91H11, from Heavenly Father: "He spoke to me:
'Raphael, I will address the question about the tree of life. R.S. is correct that this unique tree was created by our first parent Gods on their first creation for their first eternity. They used it precisely as we use it in our domain even today.
At the end of the conference of the gods, the new gods that attend are given a fruit of that tree to take back to their own creations they will begin. The tree of life at the beginning of each eternity, in our first God's residence at the center of the universe, created all fruit with seeds, like is common to fruit. These are given to the new gods so they may plant these fruits and grow their own tree of life. They usually plant it on their own inheritance on their resurrected celestial earth. When the time comes when they build their own celestial orb and the beginnings of their own galaxy, they bring a transplant from their own tree of life on their own celestial earth where they had originally planted the seed. This first tree of life transplant is a physical tree, brought into a spirit celestial creation, even before the celestial orb is resurrected. This celestial orb remains a spirit creation until it is resurrected as a glorious celestial orb. I will speak about this more.
The tree of life therefore is brought from the first creation of our first Gods. It is the plant that is always brought from the residence of our first Gods. It is altogether a miraculous tree, for it only has seeding fruit at the beginning of each eternity for the new couple gods. However, once on their own domain, it produces non-seeding fruit (no seed) so that it may continually be eaten, both the fruit and the leaf. It is a gift from the first Gods to every one of their posterity who become gods. It represents their great love for all their children in their great universe! When one partakes of the fruit of the tree of life, they are filled with this same love of God, from their first parent God. The leaves of this tree are for the healing of the souls of man and woman, another great gift from our first parent Gods!
This tree of life may be planted in physical or spirit creations, and works the same in each one. This is why it may be transplanted in the new spirit creation of the celestial orb of the new couple god.
The first celestial orb is always created spiritually before physically. We have explained this before. When the first Redeemer of the new couple god atones for the sins and weaknesses of all their children who will come to mortality, the celestial orb is created physically by the gods of that creation. This celestial orb then rises in the celestial resurrection along with the first Redeemer in that domain. The tree of life on that celestial orb is already in a physical resurrected state, so it is not resurrected again. The resurrection of the celestial orb applies to everything else that was created spiritually on that orb.
The gods all share freely their own creations with each other. We share these when we meet at the convention of the gods at the completion of each eternity. We have created some new plants on our own that we have brought and shared with the other gods.
However, all the other plants and animals we have brought to our own domain are from the worlds of the other gods. Most are from our own parent God's residence, but we have brought more also from the other gods.
When we bring a physical celestial plant or animal from another of the god's creations, these plants and animals are able to create a spirit offspring. We planted these spirit plants in our spirit celestial orb, and brought these spirit animals to that same creation. These were also brought in their spirit form to our first spiritually created earth, prior to its becoming physically created. These all came from the resurrected celestial plants and animals from other gods.
The earth was created physically, even before we bore the first physical man and woman on that earth (the Adam and Eve of that eternity). Once our earth was created spiritually, we then created it physically.
This was done as is revealed in Moses 3:6-9:
But I, the Lord God, spake, and there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
And I, the Lord God, formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul, the first flesh upon the earth, the first man also; nevertheless, all things were before created; but spiritually were they created and made according to my words.
And I, the Lord God, planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there I put the man whom I had formed.
And out of the ground made I, the Lord God, to grow every tree naturally, that is pleasant to the sight of man; and man could behold it. And it also became a living soul. For it was spiritual in the day that I created; for it remaineth in the sphere in which I, God, created it, yea, even all things which I prepared for the use of man; and man saw that it was good for food. And I, the Lord God, planted the tree of life also in the mist of the garden, and also the tree of knowledge of good and evil."
This scripture refers to the physical creation of the earth. It was created physically, in a telestial state when it was without form and void. Then it was populated with unique plants and animals to create the rich soils on its surface. When ready for Adam and Eve, we then planted a garden eastward in Eden. The earth then became elevated on its surface to a terrestrial state. Satan had already been cast into the earth, that portion remaining telestial. Your Heavenly Mother and I came and then bore Adam and Eve physically, for we had already birthed them in the spirit. They and all the creations on the earth were physical, but in a suspended state, in its terrestrial state. This was the paradise glory state of the earth. Once Adam and Eve partook of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, of which we had commanded them not to eat, they fell and their bodies became mortal. All of the earth then also fell from its paradise state, and also then became mortal, or could die, decompose, etc.
The tree of life in the garden was subsequently removed from the Garden of Eden, and brought back into our celestial orb. It was resurrected and could never die.'
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his answer to the question on the tree of life. It is so fascinating! I thanked him for this revelation. I feel very enlightened by all of this new knowledge revealed to me from God."

190G25-190H26, from Heavenly Mother "Q. When I arrive in the New Jerusalem area, will this be in the telestial realm or the terrestrial realm? A. 'The mortal terrestrial realm on the earth.'
Q. When I arrive there, I have been shown that it will all be underwater and muddy from a recent earthquake. Will this earthquake be in the telestial or in the terrestrial realm? A. 'The terrestrial realm.'
Q. Will there be any time this May when I go to the New Jerusalem area, that I will be in the telestial realm? A. 'No, it will all be in the terrestrial realm, unseen by those living on the earth in their telestial realm.'
Q. When the northern tribes of Israel come to the outer earth, will they come into the telestial realm on the outer earth? A. 'Yes."
Q. When will this large group of people enter into the terrestrial realm of the earth on their trek to the New Jerusalem?
A. 'Raphael, they will remain on the telestial sphere of the outer earth for a short time, until they are discovered. Their prophet will then prepare his people, even while in the northern barren countries of your earth, to enter into the terrestrial realms on the mortal earth. A highway has been created in this terrestrial realm on which the northern tribes will travel (see D&C 133: 27 "an highway shall be cast up in the midst of the great deep."). All around them will be the great waters that now exist in the terrestrial mortal realm.
The large group of the northern tribes will then disappear from the view of those in the telestial world. They will have no obstructions on their journey from that time on, for the mortal terrestrial realm on the earth will not be inhabited at that time.
When these come to the New Jerusalem, you will meet them there. This will be in June and July of 2021 when these tribes of Israel will arrive (see your post 171B20).'
Q. How will the remnants of Jacob come to the New Jerusalem? Will they also travel in the terrestrial realm as the northern tribes will do? A. 'The remnants of Jacob will come across your land on the telestial earth. These are now crossing the southern borders of the United States in great numbers. After living in your land for some months, the Spirit will touch those among them who are the elect of God, and call them to enter into the land of Zion. They will come to the Missouri area and there will enter the terrestrial realms, at that point. They will travel a relatively short distance to the New Jerusalem area. You will meet them there, at the gates of Zion, and welcome them into the New Jerusalem area.'
Q. What about those planning to trek to Zion from the various parts of the promised land: will they travel in the terrestrial or the telestial realms? A. 'Those who first come will travel in the terrestrial realms. Some will come in their replicated terrestrial bodies. Later groups coming will generally come in the telestial mortal realms, even as Spencer saw in his book "Visions of Glory." '
Q. Does the terrestrial realm of the mortal earth exist all over the earth, superimposed upon the telestial mortal earth? A. 'Yes, this terrestrial mortal realm has been created in the beginning when the earth was created. When Adam and Eve fell, the terrestrial earth also fell at that same time into a mortal telestial earth. However, the foundations of the terrestrial mortal earth were not wholly changed, but a part remained over all the earth. Most of the terrestrial land was covered with terrestrial waters at that time, and has continued in that state even until now. There are no plants or animals on the terrestrial earth at this time, but only waters, land and air.
The changes coming to the terrestrial earth will come with the great power of God. These changes will start with the New Jerusalem where land will come up out of the waters. The only other terrestrial physical land on the earth are the great highway for the northern tribes to walk upon in their trek to Zion, or to the New Jerusalem, and part of the promised land.
From the New Jerusalem there will be other dry land areas that will be settled or that will emerge from the waters upon which the cities of Zion may be built. This will continue so that there will be a continuous land mass upon the promised land.
While the mortal telestial world destroys itself, and receives more and more wars and calamities of all varieties, our New Jerusalem and the Zion communities will be safe and protected, even in a higher spiritual realm on the terrestrial earth.
The 144,000 will bring many of our prepared and ready elect whom we have called into the terrestrial realm from their troubled telestial realm. Only the pure in heart will be invited to come into the higher terrestrial realm.
When Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son, comes in glory to the earth, the remaining people and world of the telestial realm will die. What then remains will be the terrestrial realm. The telestial realm will, at the time of his coming, be consumed with the fire of his countenance, and will be fully removed from the earth.'
I felt wonder and a new perspective at most of these answers! I thanked my Heavenly Mother to have given these to me. It is late now, and I closed my prayer in Jesus' name.
H. R's Personal Journal Entry, Thursday, April 1, 2021
I have thought about and reread my entry several times since I wrote it last night. I feel like my mind has opened up to a whole new perspective!
I came to the terrestrial land outside of the future New Jerusalem area at this moment in time. I saw a large body of water with a very muddy shoreline. I came further back upon the dry land to pray. I felt like I was in a dark and dreary wilderness as Lehi saw and traveled in (see 1 Nephi 8: 7). I knelt upon the dry ground and prayed for my Heavenly Father to come.
Heavenly Father descended in his glory before me, lighting up all the land round about. It looked like a large desert area that I could now make out from the light from Heavenly Father. I saw various terrain, like flat lands and mountains in the distance.
I looked upon my Heavenly Father in his glory, and he spoke to me: 'Raphael, your Heavenly Mother spoke to you last night many truths that have opened up your mind. What you wrote in your journal last night is all true.
We have kept these hidden truths from you and our faithful until now. The delays that you were wondering about, with the expected changes in the telestial earth to a devastated land with much flooding, is really in the physical terrestrial realms on the earth, and not on the telestial physical earth.
When your Mother and I raised Adam and Even in this general area where we are located, the earth was a beautiful area, even with a Garden of Eden. The entire earth was a terrestrial realm, a telestial realm, and a celestial realm. These three realms were created in the beginning, and were superimposed upon each other. Your Heavenly Mother, Jesus Christ and I were the ones who primarily came into the celestial realm. However, once the man and woman fell, our angels ministered from the celestial realms on the earth.
Adam and Eve lived in the Garden of Eden in the physical terrestrial earth. This entire terrestrial globe was planted and populated with our plants and animals. When Adam and Eve fell, and were cast out of the beautiful garden, the entire earth fell from a terrestrial state to a telestial state. The telestial had already been created, but was without form and void of life. It was covered with water prior to the fall of man. It also housed Lucifer and his fallen spirits. At one point, we allowed Lucifer to enter into the terrestrial Garden of Eden to tempt and try Adam and Eve.
Once the terrestrial earth fell and transitioned to a telestial fallen earth, the terrestrial foundations of the earth became a dark and a dreary place. Terrestrial waters then covered the earth in most places. The garden of Eden was covered with water, and remains that way, even until today. This general area is where the future New Jerusalem will be constructed.
The telestial realm that was under water before the fall transitioned into the fallen terrestrial realm, for it all became telestial. It was then that the waters that had once covered the telestial earth became terrestrial waters, and then covered the terrestrial earth. The terrestrial physical earth was not destroyed, but was preserved under water for the last days when it would start to transition again into a beautiful terrestrial earth. At the time that the waters came upon the terrestrial earth, we raised up the highway above the waters so that, in a future day, the northern tribes would be able to travel to the New Jerusalem. We also kept dry land on much of the promised land area so that some of our first elect could walk east to the New Jerusalem area that you would have started to build.
The entire physical terrestrial earth has remained in this same state, without plant or animal life, even until today.'
Heavenly Father then looked around upon the barren land and distant mountains. He then looked towards the muddy shores and waters to our east. He continued: 'Raphael, you will come to the area to our east, which is now under water, to construct by our great power, the island of the New Jerusalem. The waters will continue to surround this city, even into the millennium. Beyond this circle of waters, lands will emerge from the waters on which our Zion cities will be built. Those lands in the west, where there is already dry land, will also be populated with our cities of Zion. Soon the entire terrestrial realm will all become Zion, an abode for our chosen elect!
I have given you much to think about and ponder! Come tonight to the high mountaintop in our celestial orb, and pray towards the eastern skies. Your Heavenly Mother and I will come then and bring you to the future terrestrial lands of the promised land, even the land on which we are located now.'
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his amazing revelations to me today. I said I would come tonight to the high mountaintop.
Heavenly Father then parted and I closed my prayer.
Evening-I came tonight, to the high mountaintop. I knelt, faced east, and asked for my Heavenly Parents to come, even as they said they would. My Heavenly Parents then both came in front of me in a burst of bright light!
Heavenly Mother extended her hand to me. I stood and took it, and then we all three held hands and immediately were in the air looking down upon the future New Jerusalem from the west. I could see that the fountain of living water was constructed, but not yet the temple. It was therefore very early in the construction phase, but before any elect came to the New Jerusalem.
Heavenly Mother then spoke: 'Raphael, you can see the fountain is constructed at this point in time in the future, but not the temple. There is water under the fountain in the underground cavern. As you recall, this is now all living terrestrial water. The living water came by you and our holy angels taking living celestial water from our celestial orb, and pouring this into the underground cavern from gold pails (see post 49H1-49H4).
You also see the terrestrial water all around the New Jerusalem island. This is not living water yet, but is the same water that was present on the earth when Adam and Eve fell, and the mortal earth changed from a terrestrial to a telestial state. This water was terrestrial by virtue of it being in the terrestrial realm. The land and water that existed here in this terrestrial realm has been in a holding state until you would come, Raphael, and start the construction of the New Jerusalem.
Once living waters flow up from the underground cavern to the fountain of living water, and out the four large underground holes to the four rivers that flow north, south, east and west, then the other waters will become living terrestrial waters also. This will happen once these rivers of living water flow into the surrounding waters. The living water will spread quickly.
These terrestrial living waters will flow eventually from the island of the New Jerusalem to all the terrestrial world. This water will feed the plants that grow in this awakened realm, even to the point that the entire earth becomes filled with great beauty and grandeur.'
I asked my Heavenly Parents how the major earthquake that would occur in this terrestrial realm would prepare the area of the New Jerusalem.
Heavenly Father responded: 'Raphael, there will be a catastrophic earthquake in the terrestrial earth here that will cause the land to elevate in this region. Prior to this, the only land above the waters were the highway from the north, and a section of the western part of the land of promise. The land in the western part of the promised land ends well before the place where the New Jerusalem will be built, making land treks to the New Jerusalem impossible. The earthquake will make a mighty river to flow from the north to the south around the future New Jerusalem site. This will become the river that surrounds the New Jerusalem island.
The catastrophic terrestrial earthquake will not be felt on your current telestial earth. These two realms are superimposed on top of each other, but are entirely separated by a veil. The veil prevents any association or awareness of the lower to the higher realm.
At some point, when the telestial land is devastated, those in the terrestrial world may build upon the structures in the cities and lands of the telestial world. (see 3 Nephi 22:3). This will be only for a limited time while the telestial realm remains on the earth. Once Jesus Christ comes in his glory, the telestial realm will altogether pass away, along with all the lands, geography, structures, and peoples on the telestial land.'
I asked about the animals and plants in the telestial world, if these would transition to the terrestrial realm before the telestial realm was removed.
Heavenly Mother responded to this question:
'Raphael, there will be several years that animals and plants may transition from the telestial to the terrestrial. This transition will occur under the supervision of your sister, Rachael (K). She is the female archangel of the elements and nature, and has stewardship over the telestial and terrestrial plants and animals (see your post 24D8 and 24D12). We will instruct her in the details of her calling in the near future. She will have the service of celestial beings in doing her great task, prior to the return of Jesus Christ to the earth."
92B2-92B16, from Heavenly Father: "Raphael, I will continue explaining to you how we have set up our creations and their capabilities.
Most of our creations, the plants and animals, water, earth and air, were all created in the spirit by a birth or propagation process from the same species. These parents need to be resurrected to a celestial state to give birth and propagate their own offspring. These offspring may be spirits or physical creations to a terrestrial or celestial state. All the spirit creations are birthed or propagated to a celestial state from intelligence and elemental matter. These are created in heaven and become part of a premortal world.
These creations come to earth which was also created spiritually before naturally or physically. Once all of our spirit creations, including our own spirit offspring, are on the earth or in heaven, ready for a physical creation, we then repeat the entire creation process in the physical state. This is in the sequence of the creation story found in Moses chapter 3. All the generations of heaven and earth had been created in this spirit form and not physically.
At this point, I caused all of these same parent creations to now create physical offspring for those that would populate the earth at that time. There were many spirit creations that were not to be created physically until after the fall, from the natural propagation of their kind in the telestial fallen world, or in a terrestrial millennial world on the earth.
The very first physical creation on the spirit earth was the physical earth and then the primeval plants and animals that would prepare the earth on its surface to be able to bring forth rich soil, ready for the later advent of new plants and animals and our own children.'
I then asked my Father this question:
'Father, if the earth at this primeval time was telestial and man was not yet physically on the earth, how were these creations physically created without a fall in their telestial state? I thought all celestial resurrected beings could produce terrestrial and celestial offspring but not telestial physical offspring?'
Heavenly Father responded:
'Raphael, Adam and Eve were the first terrestrial flesh (human flesh) upon the earth, birthed by Heavenly Mother on the earth. We created the Garden of Eden on this earth, which was also in a terrestrial state, where Adam and Eve could dwell. However, before this time of the placement of the man and woman on the physical earth, the earth had to be prepared to receive them, for it was only rock and void in the beginning and not suitable for mankind yet.
We therefore placed water on the earth, the mist spoken of in Moses 3:6-
But I, the Lord God, spake, and there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground."
At this time, the physical creation in Abraham chapter 4:1-25 was done. The creation process was the creation of the earth, waters and plant and animal life in the primeval state in the days of their organization. There was not mankind yet upon the earth. These primeval plant and animal creations were intended to create the rich soils and coal deposits, and their remains are now seen in the rock layers' history on the earth, laid down over eons of time, gradually deposited.
The earth was then a primeval telestial earth, but the initial creations were terrestrially created by their celestial parents and placed on the terrestrial earth at the time of their creation. However, when they came to earth, they assumed the state of the earth, which was telestial. The earth was also initially created in a terrestrial state when it was without form and void, but when the waters came on the earth, we caused the earth to become a telestial world, for that is how we wished it to be when the many plants and animals would come on its surface. When the time came for mankind to come on the earth, the earth had rich soil and mineral deposits on its surface and under its surface. We caused most all of the primeval life to die so that the prepared earth would be ready for mankind, with a fresh replanting of the earth with new plant and animals suitable for mankind.
We then created a new phase of the earth as is recorded in Abraham 4:16-31, 5:1-21 and also Moses 3:7-25. This is when we created a beautiful Garden of Eden and introduced mostly new plants and animals on its surface. These were brought as plant and animal spirits to the earth to this Garden of Eden. These had lived previously in our celestial orb. When all was spiritually created, and ready for man, your Heavenly Mother and I came to the Garden of Eden and created Adam and Eve as our own physical children. They were the first terrestrial flesh on the earth. Once birthed, we caused the remainder of the spirit plants and animals on the earth to also be physically birthed and propagated in this beautiful terrestrial Garden of Eden. Resurrected celestial animals birthed these. By the time Adam and Eve were aware and of age as young children, the Garden of Eden had completely been transformed from its spirit state to its physical terrestrial state. Your Heavenly Mother and I, and our children Adam and Eve, grew up in a beautiful world, which we had prepared for us. This is where we raised our two children to adulthood in their physical terrestrial states. We elevated the areas where we directly lived to be in a celestial realm, for that is the only way we could be in the terrestrial world.
When of age as adults, we married our two children as husband and wife. They were in a terrestrial state, but were transfigured to a celestial state when they would commune with us in the Garden of Eden.
We then brought our celestial resurrected tree of life to the Garden of Eden. They partook freely of the fruit of the tree of life and received the love of God to their souls.
When all was prepared, we planted a new tree, the tree of knowledge of good and evil. We told Adam and Eve not to partake of the fruit of this tree.
Moses 3:17
"But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it, nevertheless, thou mayest choose for thyself, for it is given unto thee; but, remember that I forbid it, for in the day thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die."
We had freely spoken to Adam and Eve of the earth life they would one day live in their future. However, we did not tell them of the fall of man nor how this would happen.
We then allowed Lucifer to come forth from under the earth where he and his evil spirits had been placed. We allowed him to come into our beautiful Garden of Eden for a season, even though he normally couldn't do so since it was in a terrestrial state.
Soon Satan became familiar with all of the Garden of Eden, its plants and animals. He had persuaded some of the animals to follow him, for in their terrestrial state the animals have choice and may communicate with mankind.
Moses 4:5-7
"And now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which I, the Lord God, had made.
And Satan put it into the heart of the serpent, (for he had drawn away many after him,) and he sought also to beguile Eve, for he knew not the mind of God, wherefore he sought to destroy the world.
And he said unto the woman: Yea, hath God said-Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? (And he spake by the mouth of the serpent.)"
Normally, the animals in their terrestrial state do not respond to the influence of the adversary, and are always obedient to us, their Gods, for that is their nature. However, we allowed Lucifer for a season into our terrestrial state of the Garden of Eden. He then easily persuaded many animals to follow his sinister plan to deceive Adam and Eve, for Lucifer was far more intelligent and deceptive than the lower order of animals.
Once Adam and Eve both partook of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, we came to visit them. They were cast out of the Garden of Eden because they had transgressed our commandment not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. It was by their own choice that they had brought upon themselves eventual death and a mortal life.
When Adam and Eve left the beautiful garden, they entered into a telestial world. All of the physical creations that were terrestrial also fell into a telestial state, for that is what we did once man was expelled. We then removed the tree of life from the garden and brought it back into our celestial orb. Adam and Eve were then driven from the beautiful garden (Moses 4:31) and began to till the earth (Moses 5:1). They continued to have dominion over all the animals in their new telestial world.
In this fallen state, Adam and Eve could then bear children in mortality. The premortal celestial spirits that we had birthed in heaven now could come through Adam and Eve, and their posterity.'"

Moses 3:8
8 And I, the Lord God, planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there I put the man whom I had formed.
May 21-22, 2024
I prayed about the size and scope of the land of Eden and the garden of Eden. After praying over this for both days, here is what I received from Heavenly Father:
"Raphael, the original garden of Eden was located within what you call the temple square area in the celestial realms of the current New Jerusalem island. The garden was located starting 550 ft due east of the fountain of living water. It was 700 ft square, and extended to 1,250 ft. The four rivers in Eden began at the fountain, dividing into four rivers from the fountain, the same locations as the current four channels flowing out of the fountain. The land area called Eden was 3,000 ft x 3000 ft square, exactly the same as the current temple square area. It was all in the terrestrial realm on the earth."
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his wonderful revelation today, on May 22, 2024!
I then found this in post 179D17-179D21, from Heavenly Mother:
"R.S. sent you an email where he had the impression that the birthplace of Father Adam and Mother Eve could be the future location of the New Jerusalem.
R.S. is correct, for I gave him this impression that awoke him from his sleep. When your Father and I begat Adam and Eve in the flesh, this was in the very location where the future island city of the New Jerusalem will be built. I first birthed Adam and then Eve, and your Father and I raised them in the beautiful Garden of Eden nearby. It was a beautiful terrestrial earth in the garden at the time. Satan and his evil minions were not allowed in this garden, our home, until Adam and Eve were adults and had their full agency.
Once Adam and Eve were cast out of the Garden of Eden, this area of the New Jerusalem fell and became a telestial earth like all the rest of the world. The birth place of these two choice children, the progenitors of the human race then became erased from the memories and records of the human family, even until now when I have renewed this knowledge again to my humble servant R.S. and to you, Raphael. The exact location of the birth place of Adam and Eve was upon the ground where the celestial temple will one day be built.
These two individuals will also be the first ones that you will administer the waters of separation ordinance to in our holy temple! Oriphiel will record their names in the Lamb's Book of Life. These two great examples and righteous children will thereby show the rest of their vast posterity the way to enter the Church of the Firstborn.'
I thanked my Heavenly Mother for this exciting bit of knowledge, now revealed in our day at the beginning of the tribulations. I told her I treasured this truth, and felt honored to receive it from her very being."
5-22-2024: I later prayed about the precise location where Heavenly Mother birthed Adam and Eve. I was directed in my thoughts to the veil of the celestial temple,Jon the celestial earth side before one passes through the veil. I felt that this is where our first parents were born into the physical world by Heavenly Mother! There was no temple in that day, but it most likely occurred in the celestial earth realm.
They were born with physical bodies, quickened by their spirits, having no blood nor decay in their bodies. They grew in this state to adulthood, and would have remained forever in that state until the fall.J
I also felt that Adam and Eve had a celestial garment that covered their nakedness. The garments grew,Jor were each changed out for a larger size,Jas they grew bigger. When they reached their full stature, this garment was always on them until they transgressed the commandment and ate of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. andAt that point,this celestial garment then departed, leaving them naked. This is why they suddenly tried to cover their nakedness with fig leaves.J
Moses 4:27: "Unto Adam, and also unto his wife, did I, the Lord God, make coats of skins, and clothed them."
After they transgressed, Jesus Christ made a coat,Jor garment, for each to again cover their nakedness. I believe this wasn't made of animal skins, but of a similar skin or garment like they wore before in the garden. This garment is what they each wore as they left into the telestial lone and dreary earthly world. These thoughts of the garments is also born out in apocryphal records.J
I took an Ancient Temple class at BYU with my wife and son from Dr Donald Parry in the fall/winter of 2022. In this class we read ancient texts about temples and such. I gave a presentation to the class in October 2022, along with other students. I will give part of this below as it relates to the garden of Eden experience. These are all my own thoughts from my studies of the scriptures and ancient texts:
"My presentation title: "A compilation of the most plausible and inspired thoughts to me of the Garden of Eden experience, all taken from ancient texts and traditions, and modern revelations"
Conclusions of presentation: J Adam and Eve were born from God the Father and Heavenly Mother, figuratively from the dust of the earth (probably the terrestrial or celestial earthly dust), in the same way children are all born.
J Adam and Eve wore robes of light, created by God while they were in Eden. They were not naked.
J When Eve and then Adam partook of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, their robes of light fell off, and they became naked.
J God made coats (robes or garments) to cover the nakedness of their skins, and this likely was not created from animal skins.
Here is the information that supports the above conclusions:
1) Birth of Adam and Eve: J[God] created man, as we create our children;J he said, for there is no other process of creation in heaven, on the earth, in the earth, or under the earth, or in all the eternities, that is, that were, or that ever will be.J (Brigham Young, JD 11:122; cf. JD 3:319)
God created man in his own imageJ Gen. 1:26-28J(Moses 2:26-28;Abraham 4:26-28).
And the Gods formed man (Adam and Eve) from the dust of the ground (this was figuratively speaking, from celestial dust, of a high glory based on many ancient texts), and took his spirit (that is, the manJs spirit), and put it into him; and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul.J (Abraham 5:7, my remarks parenthesis).
2) Adam and Eve wore robes of light since birth: Pirqe de Rabbi Eliezer also says that the garment of the first man was a "skin of nail" and he was covered with a "cloud of glory.J After he sinned Adam was deprived of both the skin of nail and the cloud of glory and saw that he was naked. In another version, after Adam and Eve sinned, the garment of light fell from them. When they repented, God made for them another garment.J (Stephen Ricks, The Garment of Adam, page 708). JAdam and Eve wore the "robe of light" or the "robe of sanctity" before their fall; thereafter, they assumed a "garment of humility.J (Ricks, page 708).
And the Lord God made for Adam and his wife garments of honor (to be worn) upon the skin of their flesh, and He clothed them.J (Ricks, page 716).
In R. Meir's Torah it was found written, Garments of light ... refer to Adam's garments, which were like a torch [shedding radiance], broad at the bottom and narrow at the top.J Isaac the Elder said: They were as smooth as a fingernail and as beautiful as a Jewel.J R. Johanan said: They were like the fine linen garments which come from Bethshean, (a) garment of skin meaning those that are nearest to the skin.J (Ricks, page 706).
3) When Adam and Eve partook of the forbidden fruit, their terrestrial robes of light disappeared-they then knew they were naked.
Adam and Eve fell from a paradisiacal world in the Garden of Eden to a fallen telestial world outside the garden.
As they ate the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil their robes of light disappeared.
Once these robes of light disappeared, they realized were naked. Satan also told them they were naked.
JAdam responded to Eve's transformation (of losing her robe in the Garden of Eden) by saying, J 'Eve, I would rather die than outlive you. If Death were to claim your spirit, God could never console me with another woman equaling your loveliness!' So saying, he tasted the fruit, and the outer skin of light fell away from him also.J The same tradition is also to be found among the Samaritans; cf John MacDonald, The Theology of the Samaritans (London: SCM, 1964), page 138.J (Ricks, page 723).
4) God made coats (robes or garments) to cover the skins of Adam and Eve.
The two Hebrew words for "light" ("or) and "skin" ('or) differ in but the initial letters, and are pronounced alike in modern Hebrew. This explains why some traditions have the garments of the first couple made of light, others of skin. . . Targum Onkelos, Genesis 3:21, says that God "made garments of glory on the skin of their flesh."J (John A. Tvedtne, Priestly Clothing in Bible Times, page 651). Some traditions indicate that Adam and Eve had been clothed with a horny (reptilian?) skin that fell off, leaving them naked, whereupon the cloud of glory that surrounded them departed. The garment of light, according to some accounts, was replaced by its earthly symbol, a garment of skin, after the fall. By this reckoning, the garment of skin given to the first human couple was their own skin, not that of animals. This makes even more sense when one considers that the Hebrew root for "nakedness" (crh) may be related to the word for "skin" (cor). The Book of the Rolls explains it this way: "After the clothing of fig-leaves they put on clothing of skins, and that is the skin of which our bodies are made, being of the family of man, and it is a clothing of pain.J (Tvedtne, page 652).
Thou hast driven us out of Paradise and called us back. Thou hast taken away the fig-leaves, that garment of our misery, and clad us once more with a robe of glory.J (Ricks, page 709).
And the Lord God made for Adam and his wife garments of honor (to be worn) upon the skin of their flesh, and He clothed them.J (Ricks, page 716).
After he sinned Adam was deprived of both the skin of nail and the cloud of glory and saw that he was naked. In another version, after Adam and Eve sinned, the garment of light fell from them. When they repented, God made for them another garment. The first garment that Adam and Eve had worn fled to heaven, where it is now in the treasury of the heavens.J (Ricks, page 708)." --------
Later, May 22, 2024: I have been further pondering and reading these scriptures in Moses. I read in Moses 4:31 this: "So I drove out the man, and 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".J
I knew then that Adam and Eve were driven out and that cherubim and a flaming sword was placed near the east entrance to the garden of Eden. I then asked if this cherubim was located at the east edge of Eden, next to the current east channel entrance of the temple square area.J
I received an immediate confirmation that the cherubim was at this east boundary of Eden! This place is today at the boundary of the celestial realm and the terrestrial realm. It is on the east side where a path starts and the living celestial water flows underground and is changed to terrestrial living water.
When Adam was cast out, and the earth fell to a telestial glory, there became a boundary between the terrestrial realm (all of Eden including the garden of Eden) and the telestial realm (all the outside fallen world). I felt that this is now a very significant place. All of the elect who are chosen by Jesus Christ will generally first enter into the celestial realm from the New Jerusalem city to the New Jerusalem celestial temple. They pass the place where the cherubim guarded the way to prevent anyone entering. These elect individuals, who are now redeemed of God and found acceptable before him, are requested to enter back into the presence of God. They are returning directly through the garden of Eden location, and to the fruit of the tree of life and the celestial temple. Adam and Eve were forbidden to eat from this tree, for they needed to first be redeemed and freed from sin.
I read above in this note from Heavenly Mother the following: "Once Adam and Eve were cast out of the Garden of Eden, this area of the New Jerusalem fell and became a telestial earth like all the rest of the world." (179D19).
I believe that to the family of Adam, the area where Eden was located became a telestial, fallen world. When they walked through it, they did not see the terrestrial state of the garden of Eden which was guarded by the cherubim. However, in the terrestrial realm, I believe this garden was still there for a while until the transition to a telestial state occurred. As the earth fell, the rock layers, the soil, the vegetation all fell also to a telestial state, leaving the terrestrial state a barren rock layer all over the earth. The telestial waters that covered the earth then switched realms and became terrestrial waters, covering the barren land of Eden. It is upon this land that the New Jerusalem was established, coming up out of the waters that covered it since the days of Eden.
190H4-190H11: "I looked upon my Heavenly Father in his glory, and he spoke to me: 'Raphael, your Heavenly Mother spoke to you last night many truths that have opened up your mind. What you wrote in your journal last night is all true.
We have kept these hidden truths from you and our faithful until now. The delays that you were wondering about, with the expected changes in the telestial earth to a devastated land with much flooding, is really in the physical terrestrial realms on the earth, and not on the telestial physical earth.
When your Mother and I raised Adam and Even in this general area where we are located, the earth was a beautiful area, even with a Garden of Eden. The entire earth was a terrestrial realm, a telestial realm, and a celestial realm. These three realms were created in the beginning, and were superimposed upon each other. Your Heavenly Mother, Jesus Christ and I were the ones who primarily came into the celestial realm. However, once the man and woman fell, our angels ministered from the celestial realms on the earth.
Adam and Eve lived in the Garden of Eden in the physical terrestrial earth. This entire terrestrial globe was planted and populated with our plants and animals. When Adam and Eve fell, and were cast out of the beautiful garden, the entire earth fell from a terrestrial state to a telestial state. The telestial had already been created, but was without form and void of life. It was covered with water prior to the fall of man. It also housed Lucifer and his fallen spirits. At one point, we allowed Lucifer to enter into the terrestrial Garden of Eden to tempt and try Adam and Eve.
Once the terrestrial earth fell and transitioned to a telestial fallen earth, the terrestrial foundations of the earth became a dark and a dreary place. Terrestrial waters then covered the earth in most places. The garden of Eden was covered with water, and remains that way, even until today. This general area is where the future New Jerusalem will be constructed.
The telestial realm that was under water before the fall transitioned into the fallen terrestrial realm, for it all became telestial. It was then that the waters that had once covered the telestial earth became terrestrial waters, and then covered the terrestrial earth. The terrestrial physical earth was not destroyed, but was preserved under water for the last days when it would start to transition again into a beautiful terrestrial earth. At the time that the waters came upon the terrestrial earth, we raised up the highway above the waters so that, in a future day, the northern tribes would be able to travel to the New Jerusalem. We also kept dry land on much of the promised land area so that some of our first elect could walk east to the New Jerusalem area that you would have started to build.
The entire physical terrestrial earth has remained in this same state, without plant or animal life, even until today.'
Heavenly Father then looked around upon the barren land and distant mountains. He then looked towards the muddy shores and waters to our east. He continued: 'Raphael, you will come to the area to our east, which is now under water, to construct by our great power, the island of the New Jerusalem. The waters will continue to surround this city, even into the millennium. Beyond this circle of waters, lands will emerge from the waters on which our Zion cities will be built. Those lands in the west, where there is already dry land, will also be populated with our cities of Zion. Soon the entire terrestrial realm will all become Zion, an abode for our chosen elect!"
See new information in my notes in 3 Nephi 22:3, under the date of July 5-7, 2024. It is here where Heavenly Father said that the soil layer and underlying rock layers of the garden of Eden was merged with the rock foundations of the terrestrial earth before it was submerged under the terrestrial waters.
191F13, 191F17-191F18: "Evening-While working alone, I listened on and off to my posts on my phone, including post 172 about the creation of the New Jerusalem island. I heard several times that the New Jerusalem would be the beginning of the terrestrial earth. I believe the barren terrestrial world, the great deep waters and the air are called technically the "terrestrial foundations" and not the "terrestrial earth". The foundations are void of life, whereas the terrestrial earth is teeming with life. The terrestrial foundations have land, water and air, but are not suitable yet for sustaining life until terrestrial living waters come in contact with it. I want to confirm that this is right.
. . . She [Heavenly Mother] spoke: 'Raphael, once Adam and Eve fell, their bodies became telestial mortal bodies, and the entire earth also became a telestial mortal earth. We preserved the terrestrial physical realm by preserving the terrestrial land, water and air. There was also new telestial land, telestial water, and telestial air. These three sustained the mortals living in this new physical telestial world.
On the other hand, the terrestrial land, water and air were in a holding state, or a foundational state. We could have had it destroyed, and then recreated it at the beginning of the millennium. However, we chose to keep these foundational elements of land, water and air in an unused state for approximately 6,000 years of earth's mortal existence. Now it will soon become active again, with the New Jerusalem being the start of the terrestrial mortal life. The New Jerusalem location will really become the first terrestrial mortal earth since the days of Adam and Eve who lived in the garden of Eden. This is why we called that location the first terrestrial earth in your previous posts. Your description of the terrestrial foundations is a good description of the three elements of land, water and air which are still in a holding state."
I also found more information about this same area when we, the angels, blessed the fissure under the earth's surface, located at the now fountain of living water on the island of the New Jerusalem:
49H1-49H5: "This morning in my prayer, I received more direction on how we should bless the waters:
1) All who desire to participate, should meet at 8:00 am Utah time, under the clump of maple trees, on the west shores of Lake Beautiful. There will be enough gold vessels (I called them gold pails, and felt that was the best name for them), each one with a silver handle, for each of us to retrieve water from the lake in front of us. I believe that both Heavenly Father, Heavenly Mother, and Jesus Christ will be there, and will accompany us on each leg of our blessing journey.
2) We will next travel together and bring our filled water pails to the Jackson County, Missouri area. Then we will go together, maybe even holding hands, deep into the earth, and find the large reservoir of pure water. There is a fissure which was opened up, in the terrestrial sphere of the earth that leads to this reservoir. The telestial fissure has not yet opened up. This will open up when the telestial earthquake comes sometime in the future. The reservoir has both a terrestrial and a telestial reservoir, one atop the other.
3) K (Rachael) will then bless this reservoir, in the earth, and around the time of her blessing, we angels of God will pour out our gold buckets of living water into this reservoir of pure water. This will be akin to the quickening of the womb of the earth, starting the gestation period, like the spirit coming into the developing body of the human fetus. The mother is mother earth, and the reservoir of water is the womb of the earth. The pouring of this celestial, living water into the reservoir of pure water, will initiate a change in that body of water, not many days hence. This will make the entire reservoir to fully becomes living water. The earth will soon be poised, once the water reservoir has shifted to a celestial, completely living water reservoir, to be ready for this terrestrial earthquake.
4) We will next go together to the surface of the earth, where the terrestrial fissure comes to the surface. We will then deposit our gold pails with silver handles, onto the earth there. These empty pails will then each go into the surface of the earth to form pockets of precious metals, later to be mined for adorning the New Jerusalem temple.
5) Raphael will then bless the surface of the earth, at the point where the terrestrial fissure comes up from the ground. All the male and female archangels will be present, as well as our Heavenly Parents and Jesus Christ, our Savior. There will be another sounding of the trumpets of God from this location, to awaken mother earth and all nature, of what she next needs to do, at the future command of the angels of God. There will be two angels giving this command. These two will command the earth to initiate the telestial earthquake, as they are both inspired by their Heavenly Mother. These will be a male and a female angel. They will come to this area sometime soon, at the command of our Heavenly Mother. Heavenly Mother is in charge of these living waters, and the birth of the living waters to become the spring which will come forth the living water reservoir. This will be the very first celestial sector on the earth! All the rest of the earth is now only in a terrestrial and telestial sphere. The New Jerusalem area will become a celestial sector of the earth."
May 23, 2024: I have written a great deal about the garments of Adam and Eve above, without confirmation from my Heavenly Parents. I now feel my Heavenly Father wants me to write his words:
"Raphael, what you have recorded in this note on Moses 3:8 is true!
About the garments that we gave to Adam and Eve: we clothed them as babies until they were adults with celestial robes or garments. These were on their terrestrial bodies, and protected them from harm. These celestial robes of righteousness also allowed them to freely come into our presence. Only they could remove these garments by their transgression to my commandments. This removal occurred when they each partook of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, which I had forbidden them to eat. After eating this fruit, the garments were removed, revealing their naked bodies. This also precipitated changes to start in their physical bodies to become mortal, with blood and the processes of mortality changing in their bodies. Once this started happening to our son and daughter, the entire terrestrial earth and all of the plants and animals on her began changing as well. All had been created in a suspended state, without death or mortality. The terrestrial world then was all transitioned into the telestial mortal world.
You are also correct that the main east entrance to the New Jerusalem celestial realm is where I commanded my beloved Son to placed cherubim and a flaming sword to guard the way to the garden and the tree of life. Once the cherubim was in place, Adam and Eve were instructed then ushered into the fallen telestial earth to the east of Eden. The land of Eden remained a terrestrial realm until we removed the tree of life and the tree of knowledge of good and evil back to our celestial orb. Once our angels had removed these from the earth, the cherubim departed and Eden transitioned to a telestial earth like the rest of the terrestrial earth had already done. There was then nothing unique about the area that Eden had before been to the telestial inhabitants of the earth. The terrestrial realm of the land of Eden then came under water with the rest of the terrestrial earth.
We have designed that the temple block in the New Jerusalem island would be created on the exact location where Eden was located, except in this last days time in the celestial realm on the earth. I want you now to refer to this area as Eden, and no longer the temple block. This will give honor to this era of its creation and of our grand plan and foresight in planning them in the same location, even from the beginning.
Furthermore, the first entrance for our new elect who walk to the New Jerusalem celestial temple needs to be at the east end of Eden. Their journey along the path will allow them to ponder over the cherubim that once was there, the previous garden of Eden which they will pass through, and the events of the fall of man which brought them into mortality. They will be retracing the steps of their first mortal parents, only going into my presence instead of their progenitors Adam and Eve leaving my presence."
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his beautiful and clarifying revelation to me this morning! I feel so honored to have received such a clear understanding of God's plan from the beginning!

Moses 4:4
4 And he became Satan, yea, even the devil, the father of all lies, to deceive and to blind men, and to lead them captive at his will, even as many as would not hearken unto my voice.
139C3-139C17, from Heavenly Mother: "This morning I wish to speak to you more about your telestial mortal experience. Our first parent Gods devised the plan to send their spirit children to a fallen telestial earth. This was planned and determined from the beginning. One of the crucial parts of this plan was to restrict a portion of their children's mind temporarily from being in the forefront. Their unconscious mind was still very functional, but hidden behind a veil. This portion of their mind contained all of the memories of their pre-mortal life and a sure knowledge of the existence of God. They became again in their innocent state, similar to how they came just after being birthed by their own Heavenly Mother in the beginning.
These new arrivals on their mortal earth also received a new physical body, patterned after the first one they received at birth in the spirit when their intelligence first entered. Now in mortality, their spirit would enter into this new physical body as a very innocent and dependent baby. They would again be entirely helpless and need direction and intense caring from their parents, just like occurred at the beginning of their spirit existence in the pre-mortal spirit world.
When they would become fully grown adults, they would also become much more capable and independent from their parents. They would now fully choose on their own whatever path they wished to follow. This too was similar to their experience in the pre-mortal world.
We instilled a number of new experiences for our adult mortal physical children. We gave all men and women the desires of the flesh, called the natural man. In opposition to these inclinations we sent our Holy Spirit to guide and direct them in ways we had always done. They heard our voice now as a still and small voice, still spoken to their unconscious mind, just like we had always done in the beginning, during their pre-mortal world.
There would thus be a conflict between the natural man tendencies and our Holy Spirit, or the light of Christ that would give them their own conscience. In this realm, they had free choice to choose either one.
In addition, we allowed our fallen spirits, even Satan and his hosts, to tempt and persuade them. This was always counter to our own whisperings to their inner soul. Satan appealed to their natural man tendencies and we appealed to their higher, more honorable self. Many of our mortal children would choose Satan and his temptations of the flesh over our gentle promptings.
Moses 4:4
"And he became Satan, yea, even the devil, the father of all lies, to deceive and to blind men, and to lead them captive at his will, even as many as would not hearken unto my voice."
Moses 5:12-15
"And Adam and Eve blessed the name of God, and they made all things known unto their sons and their daughters.
And Satan came among them, saying: I am also a son of God; and he commanded them, saying: Believe it not; and they believed it not, and they loved Satan more than God. And men began from that time forth to be carnal, sensual, and devilish.
And the Lord God called upon men by the Holy Ghost everywhere and commanded them that they should repent;
And as many as believed in the Son, and repented of their sins, should be saved; and as many as believed not and repented not, should be damned; and the words went forth out of the mouth of God in a firm decree; wherefore they must be fulfilled."
This same pattern has continued from the beginning, even until your own day. Satan, in your day, has a greater hold upon our mortal children than any other time since the days of your first parents, Adam and Eve. Your mortal world is ripe in iniquity and as such will soon be destroyed.
2 Nephi 26:10-11
"...and they shall sell themselves for naught; for, for the reward of their pride and their foolishness they shall reap destruction; for because they yield unto the devil and choose works of darkness rather than light, therefore they must go down to hell.
For the Spirit of the Lord will not always strive with man. And when the Spirit ceaseth to strive with man then cometh speedy destruction, and this grieveth my soul."
Raphael, your Father and I have already withdrawn our Spirit from a large portion of the inhabitants of your mortal world, for they have continually chosen Satan over us. Therefore, speedy destruction will soon come upon them.
We have also called upon many who hear our voice and keep our commands. These reject Satan consistently in their lives. We therefore enlighten them more and more with our Holy Spirit and my Holy Ghost. These are our elect that we will save and bring forth into a better world, even where Satan and his evil hosts are no longer present.
In the beginning, with our first Gods, they found the greater part of their children on the telestial earth would follow their own Satan. This tendency has continued in every eternity since then. Those who truly reject the natural selfish man inside of them and seek to hear and obey our voice, are so much fewer in number. These will have proven themselves by their own individual agency, acting on their own and not from another. This is exactly as we wish, for salvation is an individual issue, earned and gained by individual choice and decisions in daily living.
You are correct that mortal life is a very unique time in the progression of our children, with no other way for us to determine who will follow us and who will follow Satan.
Abraham 3:25-26
"And we will prove them herewith, to see if they will do all things whatsoever the Lord their God shall command them.
And they who keep their first estate shall be added upon; and they who keep not their first estate shall not have glory in the same kingdom with those who keep their first estate; and they who keep their second estate shall have glory added upon their heads for ever and ever.""

Moses 4:5-7
5 And now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which I, the Lord God, had made.
6 And Satan put it into the heart of the serpent, (for he had drawn away many after him,) and he sought also to beguile Eve, for he knew not the mind of God, wherefore he sought to destroy the world.
7 And he said unto the woman: Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? (And he spake by the mouth of the serpent.)
92B12-92B16, from Heavenly Father: "We had freely spoken to Adam and Eve of the earth life they would one day live in their future. However, we did not tell them of the fall of man nor how this would happen.
We then allowed Lucifer to come forth from under the earth where he and his evil spirits had been placed. We allowed him to come into our beautiful Garden of Eden for a season, even though he normally couldn't do so since it was in a terrestrial state.
Soon Satan became familiar with all of the Garden of Eden, its plants and animals. He had persuaded some of the animals to follow him, for in their terrestrial state the animals have choice and may communicate with mankind.
Moses 4:5-7
"And now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which I, the Lord God, had made.
And Satan put it into the heart of the serpent, (for he had drawn away many after him,) and he sought also to beguile Eve, for he knew not the mind of God, wherefore he sought to destroy the world.
And he said unto the woman: Yea, hath God said-Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? (And he spake by the mouth of the serpent.)"
Normally, the animals in their terrestrial state do not respond to the influence of the adversary, and are always obedient to us, their Gods, for that is their nature. However, we allowed Lucifer for a season into our terrestrial state of the Garden of Eden. He then easily persuaded many animals to follow his sinister plan to deceive Adam and Eve, for Lucifer was far more intelligent and deceptive than the lower order of animals.
Once Adam and Eve both partook of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, we came to visit them. They were cast out of the Garden of Eden because they had transgressed our commandment not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. It was by their own choice that they had brought upon themselves eventual death and a mortal life.
When Adam and Eve left the beautiful garden, they entered into a telestial world. All of the physical creations that were terrestrial also fell into a telestial state, for that is what we did once man was expelled. We then removed the tree of life from the garden and brought it back into our celestial orb. Adam and Eve were then driven from the beautiful garden (Moses 4:31) and began to till the earth (Moses 5:1). They continued to have dominion over all the animals in their new telestial world.
In this fallen state, Adam and Eve could then bear children in mortality. The premortal celestial spirits that we had birthed in heaven now could come through Adam and Eve, and their posterity.'"

Moses 4:31
31 So I drove out the man, and 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.
110D17-110D27: "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, tRing 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."

Moses 5:1
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.
138G20-138G23, from Heavenly Father: "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.'"
160G8-160G17, from Heavenly Mother: "'Raphael, you have been enjoying working outside each day. We have strengthened you so you can prepare your garden and orchard, doing all of the manual work yourself. This is very enjoyable to you, your wife and son. You have never been so free to work the land like you have been doing It is deeply satisfying.
There is a connection you are all three making with your earth, by working in the soil. This greatly enhances your health too, and your emotional and physical grounding.
When Adam and Eve left the Garden of Eden (a terrestrial environment), they came to the telestial earth and began to till the ground:
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."
In the beginning of man, they had to labor on the ground in order to eat what the ground produced. In your day, many people no longer work or till the ground as you have been diligently doing. Instead, they buy food from a store and have lost the connection to the land. There are many blessings of laboring on the soil and producing your own food from the land.
In the coming millennial day, our people will work again their own lands. Their gardens and orchards will produce in abundance, for the living terrestrial water will transform the terrestrial earth, and bring forth tenfold in more abundance. Man will not need to labor so extensively as Adam did and you do in bringing forth food to eat, for the earth will change from a telestial earth to a terrestrial earth.
Since you are now a terrestrial mortal, as are all of our elect on the earth, the foods you eat will be better assimilated, and your health and vitality will be enhanced. As you work the land, and grow your own food, this process will also enhance your immunity and ground your body to the earth itself.
The effects of aging will slow down, and your strength will last longer than had you not labored to till the earth.
Raphael, pray that your garden beds and your orchard and fields become transformed to a terrestrial piece of land. We will be changing all of the earth to becoming terrestrial, and will speed up this change on your own land if you ask this of us. This promise is also true for all of our elect, for they are heirs of our abundant promises and blessings, even a fulness of the future terrestrial earth!'
I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her words. I asked her to change and transform my land that I work on to become terrestrial land, and to produce terrestrial food for us who live here. In turn, I asked her to bless our terrestrial mortal bodies to change as we eat more from our own land, instead of the food from the store. I said I was excited to see this transformation in our own bodies."

Moses 5:12-15
12 And Adam and Eve blessed the name of God, and they made all things known unto their sons and their daughters.
13 And Satan came among them, saying: I am also a son of God; and he commanded them, saying: Believe it not; and they believed it not, and they loved Satan more than God. And men began from that time forth to be carnal, sensual, and devilish.
14 And the Lord God called upon men by the Holy Ghost everywhere and commanded them that they should repent;
15 And as many as believed in the Son, and repented of their sins, should be saved; and as many as believed not and repented not, should be damned; and the words went forth out of the mouth of God in a firm decree; wherefore they must be fulfilled.
133E1-133E2: "I was thinking how wonderful it would be to have all who live on earth to be of one heart and one mind during the millennial day! Without Satan abroad in the land, there will be great peace and love. The scriptures even say the children in that day will grow up without sin unto salvation (see 3 Nephi 22:13 and D&C 45:58). All the people on the terrestrial earth will choose the gospel plan, and will worship the Lord. What a glorious day this will be!
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)."

59K1-59K9, from Heavenly Mother: "'Raphael, we are pleased to come before you this morning! I would like to talk with you more about our children who obey us not, these who comprise the wicked in the world.
These include those who follow Lucifer who have never come to mortality, and those who have been or are in mortality and have rejected our ways and promptings in their lives. These have loved Satan more than God (see Moses 5:13). When our rebellious children do this, they become carnal, sensual and devilish. These will necessarily be damned (see Moses 5:15). In order to be acceptable to us, men and women must repent and come unto us.
Moses 5:13-15-
"And Satan came among them, saying: I am also a son of God; and he commanded them, saying: Believe it not; and they believed it not, and they loved Satan more than God. And men began from that time forth to be carnal, sensual, and devilish.

And as many as believed in the Son, and repented of their sins, should be saved; and as many as believed not and repented not, should be damned; and the words went forth out of the mouth of God in a firm decree; wherefore they must be fulfilled."
There are also scattered in your world those who have and will repent and come unto us. These are our elect. These are those who we will save and bless, whether in life or after they die. We have called a large army of righteous gatherers to find these and strengthen them in their journey back to us, their God.
The wicked that remain must perish and be removed from the mortal earth. We have so many righteous elect yet to come forth, as newly planted wheat, to receive their mortal experience. These will group up as calves in the stall (Malachi 4:2 "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."), without sin unto salvation (D&C 45:58-59). This will be a glorious day!
D&C 45:58-59-
"And the earth shall be given unto them for an inheritance; and they shall multiply and wax strong, and their children shall grow up without sin unto salvation.
For the Lord shall be in their midst, and his glory shall be upon them, and he will be their king and their lawgiver."
The tribulations that are fast coming to the earth will serve to cleanse the wicked from off the earth, and test and try our elect. Satan and his hosts will soon be locked up in the bottomless pit, so that our beloved children may worship and obey us without Satan's continual intrusions into their lives.
We have a hell prepared for the wicked that rebel and die in these tribulations on the earth. However, we will do all we can to bring them to the highest level of happiness they are willing to receive. Thus, at the end of this earth life, all will be rewarded for what they did in the days of their probation.
As you vanquish a few of Satan's hosts to the prison orb, you will come to know the boundaries we have set for them that they are not to cross. You will learn by your experience Satan's bounds. Stay in tune to our will and direction. Fear not, be obedient to us, and we will strengthen you in this task.'"
178G18-178G27, from Heavenly Father: "'Raphael, when the devil tempted Adam and Eve, they "partook of the forbidden fruit and transgressed the commandment, wherein (they) became subject to the will of the devil, because (they) yielded to temptation." (D&C 29:40)
They then became fallen man and woman, and became spiritually dead (D&C 29:41), for they were cast out of my presence. I then gave to Adam and Eve the ability to repent through the redemption and faith on the name of mine Only Begotten Son (see D&C 29:42). This began the days of their probation in mortality. Their world was in a fallen telestial state.
The children of Adam and Eve often believed Satan who came among them and commanded them not to believe the gospel of Jesus Christ as delivered to them by their parents. "And men began from that time forth to be carnal, sensual and devilish." (see Moses 5:13)
This same fallen state of man has continued up until today in your world. However, in the new terrestrial world of the new millennium, you will remove Satan and his evil hosts so that they cannot tempt or entice mankind on the earth. Our children will also all be elect on the earth, and will of themselves allow the spirit of goodness, or our Spirit, to freely have place in their hearts and minds. They will not permit any carnal, sensual or devilish desires to find place in their hearts and minds. All men and women will love the works of God and be filled with the love of their fellowmen.
However, this will still be a fallen estate of our children, for they will not be in our holy celestial presence. Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son, will, however, rule and reign on the earth, and they may be brought into his presence, for he will be among them. This is the terrestrial state of man, as ministered by the Son of Man.
When our children in this high mortal state of men seek to follow diligently our Spirit, and keep all of our commandments, and press forward in faith to come unto God, our Son will one day judge of them and say to them that they will have eternal life in our celestial kingdom. He will then choose them as candidates for entry into his celestial church, and introduce them to us, their celestial parents. They will then be fully redeemed and forgiven of all their sins and shortcomings, and come back into our celestial presence. They will no longer be fallen men and women, but become our redeemed and celestial quickened children, for they are brought back into our celestial glory.
The rest of mankind who don't receive this favored status, (favored by being chosen because of their godly works and diligent efforts), will remain in a fallen state and spiritually dead, for they are still separated from our celestial presence and kingdom. These fallen individuals will be good people, kindly and terrestrial, unless they press forward and persist in their good works and efforts to be favored of God as the celestial elect.
Raphael, you are correct that the terrestrial mortal state of man is in a far more loving and happy environment than the current telestial mortal state of man. The adversary will be removed, and men and women will no longer be carnal, sensual or devilish.'
I thanked my Father for his confirming words and beautiful plan. I said I longed to be in that very safe and happy terrestrial mortal world, surrounded by upright and good people.
He replied: 'Raphael, we are hastening that day as fast as possible. Stay near to us and your journey to that world will be safe and you will be protected. This is our promise to all of our elect.'"

Moses 5:25-26
25 And it shall be said in time to come, That these abominations were had from Cain; for he rejected the greater counsel which was had from God; and this is a cursing which I will put upon thee, except thou repent.
26 And Cain was wroth, and listened not any more to the voice of the Lord, neither to Abel, his brother, who walked in holiness before the Lord.
123I6-123I16, from Heavenly Mother: "You have wondered about what Spencer in his book "Visions of Glory" said about the devils being shrunken spirits. I will share this phenomenon with you this morning.
When our children reject our truths and disobey, we withdraw a portion of the light. We send to them. They are left in more darkness. Satan and his hosts have rejected our truths for so long that there remains little light in them. They are spirits, and have not been illuminated by our light for many millennia. As a result they shy away from the light, for they feel more comfortable in darkness and dark places.
The effect on their spirit body of so little light is one where their minds become twisted in falsehoods, and they fully believe Lucifer and his lies. He himself has become more violent and insensitive to any of the wishes of his followers, and he is so self-centered and full of evil. His spirit and those who follow him used to be full of light, but now are full of darkness. Their presence can be felt, for they are so dark and void of light that their presence is very noticeable to our perceptive children. Their very spirits have shrunken and shriveled from their long absence from our light.
The refugees of Lucifer, those from the followers of Lucifer who have repented and come into the light, have now been continually bathed in our light since their recent conversion. They have regained their full pre-mortal stature and brilliance. They have been freed from Satan because of the grace of Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son, and the heavenly light he has illuminated them with continually since their conversion. They are all our humble and obedient servants!
Lucifer and his followers won't repent and will continue to shrink and deform. They are about one-third the height now of that which they once were prior to their departure from our celestial orb. They still have a little light we give them, not on any merit of their own behavior, but in our hopes that some more will repent and recognize the truth of Jesus Christ and his saving grace.
We cannot send more light to them, for what little they have received is all that their spirits will accept. They are in a most despicable state of error and darkness!
As our children who come to earth become entangled in sin, we try to reach out to them. They often reject our light, and the light cannot enter into them so freely. This is light matter with which we may send our feelings of love, acceptance and peace. The light energy from the sun shines freely upon the wicked and the just. However, our children determine how much light matter streams into their souls by their own choices.
When a loved one strays into sin, and you pray for more light and influence to come from us to them, we usually send more light matter into their beings. This enlightens their understanding and enlivens their souls. However, they have choice and may accept or reject this light. As they accept and receive our light, we give them more if they obey and follow our counsel and guidance we send in this light. This is our Spirit.
However, if they reject our light, or the greater counsel from God, we will remove our light. This is the power of the agency of man.
Moses 5:25-26- ". . . And it shall be said in time to come, That these abominations were had from Cain; for he rejected the greater counsel which was had from God; and this is a cursing which I will put upon thee, except thou repent.
And Cain was wroth, and listened not any more to the voice of the Lord, neither to Abel, his brother, who walked in holiness before the Lord."
We honor the free agency or choice of our children. They choose how much of our light and truths that they are willing to receive. We freely share our light and Spirit upon all who accept it, and then we send more as they heed our counsels. We remove our light from those who reject us and our guidance. Thus all men and women themselves choose their own ultimate path and destiny.'"

Moses 5:29-31
29 And Satan said unto Cain: Swear unto me by thy throat, and if thou tell it thou shalt die; and swear thy brethren by their heads, and by the living God, that they tell it not; for if they tell it, they shall surely die; and this that thy father may not know it; and this day I will deliver thy brother Abel into thine hands.
30 And Satan sware unto Cain that he would do according to his commands. And all these things were done in secret.
31 And Cain said: Truly I am Mahan, the master of this great secret, that I may murder and get gain. Wherefore Cain was called Master Mahan, and he gloried in his wickedness.
133G8-133G22, from Heavenly Father: "'Raphael, when Cain, the son of Adam and Eve, your first parents, rebelled against Jesus Christ who spoke to him, he turned to Satan and worshipped him instead. He became Master Mahan, by which he felt he could murder and get gain (see Moses 5:29-31).
Jesus then set a mark upon Cain to distinguish him from the others of our children on earth. Cain and his descendants lived separately from the other descendants of Adam. The seed of Cain were black, and had no place among the others (see Moses 7:22).
From then on the races began, with darker skin and other facial and body differences that have perpetuated even to today. When Noah came out of the ark with his family, his daughter-in-law was black, of the lineage of Cain, who had married Noah's son Ham. The black race was therefore perpetuated with Ham's descendants. Pharaoh was Ham's grandson, who was a righteous man but was denied the priesthood. His race had been forbidden my priesthood power since the days of Cain (see Abraham 1:21-27).
The restriction of priesthood power was in force until Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son, atoned for the original sin of Adam and Eve, and the sins of all mankind. His suffering also included the sins of Cain, even though Cain did not repent, even in the world of the spirits where he had remained after his death.
It was at that time that I lifted the curse upon the seed of Cain as pertaining to my priesthood. Nevertheless, this attitude continued on, even into the restored church in these last days. Brigham Young announced in 1852 that men of black African descent could no longer be ordained to the priesthood (see "Race and the Priesthood" in the LDS gospel topics). This announcement was given in error. It wasn't until 1978 that this was retracted, and the black race had full access, to my priesthood like any other of our worthy sons of any race. (see official Declaration 2). I was glad that this mistake was finally corrected in the church we restored through the prophet Joseph Smith.
Your Heavenly Mother, Jesus Christ and I consider all of the sons and daughters of God on an equal status. We love them all, and will reveal to each one according to their diligent heed to our Spirit, all truths like we have revealed to you and others of our prophets and righteous elect. The millennial day will be when many prophets and prophetesses will be very abundant in the land. All will have varied gifts of our Spirit, to benefit the whole, regardless of their own status, gender, race or culture. We will pour out upon all of our faithful all the blessings of heaven and eternity!'
I thanked my loving Heavenly Parents for their great revelatory words today to me! I expressed my love for them, and their graciousness towards all of the children on the earth.
Evening-I read again just now the great truths revealed to me this morning about the equality of all people, all of God's children. This was a very remarkable revelation! I am so glad that both of our Heavenly Parents spoke to me and witnessed of the same message. I am also very enlightened about the priesthood being available to all races now, since Christ's atonement.
I have more questions about the priesthood ordinations that will happen or have happened since May 2014, (when the LDS Church was rejected), until the new Church of Christ is restored again. I know at that time there will be regulations for again administering the priesthood. What happens in the interim?
I came to the top of the switchback path in God's Loving Healing Center. The beautiful lake was below me, down the switchback path. All seemed so beautiful and peaceful! The sun was not yet set, but was in the northern sky over in the direction of Lake Beautiful. I prayed facing the lake below me, on my knees as I normally do in the celestial world. I waited and observed.
My Heavenly Father appeared soon in front of me! There was a ripple in the veil and then it opened and Heavenly Father was there, standing a little elevated more than me in the air.
He spoke: 'Raphael, we have honored those brethren who held my priesthood authority in righteousness, to be able to maintain their priesthood, even after we cut off the LDS Church and its leaders. There are still very many who hold my authority and whom I know. They have acted in humility and righteousness. They have sought us, their Gods, to do our will and not their own. They maintain their inherent Melchizedek and Aaronic priesthood power.
Since there are no more priesthood keys in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, those who still hold my priesthood in the Church may not ordain others to the priesthood. See our words found in your post 122J12 to 122K13. However you, Raphael, have obtained keys to establish the Church of the Firstborn (see your post 53U6 in May 2017. This was approximately three years after we rejected the LDS Church and I removed my priesthood and keys from the general authority leadership in that Church. You have my authority to ordain worthy men to the Melchizedek priesthood in that Church of the Firstborn. This same authority will be conferred by you upon the male angels who labor in the New Jerusalem temple, who may need to confer the Melchizedek priesthood on others.
The female angels who hold the office of high priestess have already received authority from their Heavenly Mother to confer that authority on those of our daughters who have not yet received this office, when they come to the New Jerusalem temple. Your Heavenly Mother and I wish all of our sons and daughters to have received, by correct authority our priesthood and office of high priestess before or at that time in the New Jerusalem temple. You and our angels will receive, by revelation from us, your Heavenly Parents, whether the priesthood or high priestess authority of our new candidates coming into the Church of the Firstborn that they may have previously received, is valid. If not, these will be reconferred with our authority by the angels of God in the New Jerusalem temple.
Until the time when the New Jerusalem temple will be constructed, there will be no more further priesthood ordinations that will be acceptable by me, unless 1) I inspire you, Raphael, who holds the keys to my priesthood on earth to do so for a certain individual, or unless 2) the Church of Christ is reestablished again on the earth by my authority and the priesthood keys are again reestablished in that Church. My authority will be regularly controlled and administered in the new Church of Christ as it was earlier in this dispensation in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
I realize there are now years since 2014 when I accepted no further priesthood conferrals, and may yet be more years until the Church of Christ is restored, or the New Jerusalem temple is ready. Those righteous men and righteous women will have to patiently wait until the opportunity comes to them in the near future to bear my authority of the priesthood or your Heavenly Mother's authority of the office of high priestess.'"

Moses 6:15,26-27
15 And the children of men were numerous upon all the face of the land. And in those days Satan had great dominion among men, and raged in their hearts; and from thenceforth came wars and bloodshed; and a manJs hand was against his own brother, in administering death, because of secret works, seeking for power.
26 And it came to pass that Enoch journeyed in the land, among the people; and as he journeyed, the Spirit of God descended out of heaven, and abode upon him.
27 And he heard a voice from heaven, saying: Enoch, my son, prophesy unto this people, and say unto them, Repent, for thus saith the Lord: I am angry with this people, and my fierce anger is kindled against them; for their hearts have waxed hard, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes cannot see afar off;
144C7-11C10, from Heavenly Father: "In the days of Seth and Enos, in the current continent of America where you live, Satan had great power over the people:
Moses 6:15-
"And the children of men were numerous upon all the face of the land. And in those days Satan had great dominion among men, and raged in their hearts; and from thenceforth came wars and bloodshed; and a man's hand was against his own brother, in administering death, because of secret works, seeking for power."
We inspired Enos to depart this land and come over to a new land of promise named Cainan, apart from the wicked inhabitants of the land. This is the land where Enoch, the descendant of Enos, was born (see Moses 8:17-25).
We occasionally reveal ourselves with great power to one of our sons on earth. Such was the experience with Enoch when he journeyed in the land, as recorded in Moses 6:26-27. Enoch was called of God to initiate a new dispensation of God to mankind on the earth. Jehovah, our Beloved Son, revealed himself to Enoch and directed his ministry among all the peoples of the earth."

Moses 6:28
28 And for these many generations, ever since the day that I created them, have they gone astray, and have denied me, and have sought their own counsels in the dark; and in their own abominations have they devised murder, and have not kept the commandments, which I gave unto their father, Adam.
36E2-36E4, from Heavenly Father: "'Raphael, we are saddened by the choices of our children who are on earth. Our feelings are reflected in Moses 6:28- 'And for these many generations, ever since the day that I created them, have they gone astray, and have denied me, and have sought their own counsels in the dark, and in their own abominations have they desired murder, and have not kept the commandments, which I gave unto their father, Adam.'
Raphael, even among our own angels whom we have sent to earth at this time, many have lots of serious issues, which thwart their effectiveness as holy and pure vessels before us. Many are very immersed still in sin and the ways of the world. Many don't have the great desire sufficient to come to us, and shed themselves of their burdens and habits of false beliefs, and poor choices that they persist in doing.'
I then pleaded with my Heavenly Parents to extend to the mortal angels their power and strength, one by one, as they would be able, in qualifying them in their full angelic power. I prayed and pled for the mortal angels to be awakened and somehow changed to embrace God's ways, and reject their own wayward ways, establish new habits and patterns of righteous living."

Moses 6:38-39
38 And they came forth to hear him, upon the high places, saying unto the tent-keepers: Tarry ye here and keep the tents, while we go yonder to behold the seer, for he prophesieth, and there is a strange thing in the land; a wild man hath come among us.
39 And it came to pass when they heard him, no man laid hands on him; for fear came on all them that heard him; for he walked with God.
Sun, Jun 18, 2023
Enoch was called a wild man, for he saw spiritual things, walked with God, and preached to the people with the Spirit. He was called a seer, and God showed him great things. These were strange things for the people.
35C2-35C7, from Heavenly Father: "'Raphael, we are waiting to unleash the destructions on the wicked, until we have fully empowered all of our holy angels, with our power from on high. They need to be poised and prepared for the fulfillment of their callings. Their mission of service is critical to our plan, in preserving our elect children in these troubled times.
The greater part of our mortal angels will serve us faithfully in their unconscious minds, while they are slowly awakening to the grandeur of their callings in their conscious minds. This is how we have designed it. However, any mortal angel may progress to know more and more, in their conscious mind, what their replicated body is doing in the spirit realms. This transition to more and more awareness, will take time and effort on the part of the angel. However, our work will move forward, and they will all, of their own free will, and mostly in their unconscious state, respond to our direction in the saving of our elect on the earth.'
When he was done, they both resumed their positions at my left and right sides as before, and we continued our leisure stroll through the flower gardens, on the west side of the tree of life.
I felt that many of the things that I share with the mortal angels are so stretching to their belief system! I myself would have had a hard time believing it all, were it not delivered to me so clearly and gradually, line upon line. This is how God works, and gently shifts our paradigm of reality until we believe and consider all of his ways. We then become more and more open to his truths.
Compared to my views this last April, before I was told that I was the archangel Raphael, so much has shifted in my thinking! Sometimes I feel akin to what the people said about the prophet Enoch- 'there is a strange thing in the land; a wild man hath come among us. And it came to pass when they heard him, no man laid hands on him; for fear came on all them that heard him; for he walked with God.' (Moses 6:38-39).
I feel 'wild' like Enoch in my views, compared to those of my fellow Christians and LDS family and friends! Yet how can I dispute what I have received? To us, who are living and believing our basic LDS religious doctrine, this may seem 'far out'. However, it is exactly how God feels and believes.
I want to know and embrace the truth, and to think about and discern the revelation and the knowledge that flows so abundantly down upon me. As Joseph the prophet said, in the Article of Faith #9:
'We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the kingdom of God.'"
103C3-103C14: "I came to the east side of the glass table and knelt on the path in front of the table facing it. I asked for my Heavenly Parents or one of them to come to me. My Heavenly Father came walking to me on the same path I was kneeling on, from my right side. He seemed happy to come to me, for he was smiling. He extended his hand and I arose and took it. He asked that we walk around Heavenly Mother's lower garden together.
I then remembered the scripture in Moses 6:39, speaking about Enoch the ancient prophet:
"And it came to pass when they heard him, no man laid hands on him, for fear came on all them that heard him; for he walked with God."
I, too, was having a similar experience this morning!
Heavenly Father then spoke to me as we walked:
'Raphael, our greatest desire is to establish a close relationship with you. We are so pleased that you make time for us in your busy days on earth. Because you do, we are able to become close to you, our son.'
As we walked, we passed beautiful flowerbeds, all planted and designed by my Heavenly Mother. We paused and smelled the flowers, remarked how beautiful they were and which ones were our favorites. As we were doing this, my Heavenly Mother came walking down the path! She was so happy and radiant! She came first to my Father and they warmly embraced. She then turned to me and pulled me close in a warm embrace too! She kissed me on my right cheek and we hugged. She then put her arm around my shoulders, took my Father's right hand in hers and then we started walking together to more flowerbeds.
She spoke:
'Raphael, I can think of nothing that brings me greater happiness than being here with your Father and you! Come look at this next flowerbed on our left- these beautiful flowers are my most recent favorites, although I am thrilled with all of my flowers!'
We came together to her favorite flowerbed. She bent over and smelled them, one at a time. I too bent over and smelled their heavenly fragrance. I was amazed at the tender smell of this, her amazing creation! I had never seen a flower like this ever. I asked if she had a name for it.
She responded:
'No, Raphael, I haven't chosen a name yet. Would you like to give me a suggestion?'
I felt so honored that she had asked me to give her my opinion on her newly created flowers. I said I would think on this. The flowers were purple, lavender and yellow, with green stems and leaves.
She said more:
'Raphael, whatever you name it will be its name in heaven!'
Father then spoke:
'Raphael, we yearn to be close to each one of our beloved children too. We extend to each one, in the ways we have always done. However, so very few hear or feel us near! This saddens us, so we seek other ways to reach them. One of the ways is to speak to you and walk with you in Heavenly Mother's lower gardens like we are doing today. You record all of this very personal experience you have and then we plan to bring forth these records so our children may read your account. We are hopeful they, also, will then quiet down their lives so that we may very personally walk and talk with them too. We will love and accept them as we have been doing with you. We will continue to share with them our heavens, our ways, and all things like we have been sharing with you.'
Heavenly Mother then spoke:
'Raphael, you have decided upon a name, haven't you, for my new flowers?'
I responded:
'I love the name "Heaven's Breath" for the fragrance is so heavenly and I feel it represents all I feel when I am with you both in heaven! Breathing in the fragrance brings me so many heavenly memories!'
Heavenly Mother smiled, as did my Heavenly Father. She spoke again:
'Raphael, this is the perfect name! Thank you for helping me decide the new name of my flowers'
At this time, she and I bent over these beautiful flowers again and breathed in the fragrance of her Heaven's Breath flowers. As we did so, a flood of memories came to me from my pre-mortal life! I was here, in her lower gardens, with both my Heavenly Parents like I was today in my prayer. I was also with my chosen wife in mortality, my wife D. She was a pre-mortal spirit too, so beautiful and lovely. I asked Heavenly Mother if I might take one of these flowers and pluck it for my future wife. Heavenly Mother nodded. I plucked a beautiful flower of Heaven's Breath and placed it over her right ear, in her hair. My companion smiled and we embraced.
I then came back to my prayer with my Heavenly Parents. I said I was a real tender guy back then! I was touched by this memory so much that I asked my Heavenly Parents to help me now in my mortal life to be so sensitive to my wife and loved ones as I was back then when we lived in heaven.
Heavenly Father responded:
'Raphael, you are gradually overcoming your weaknesses of the flesh, inherited from the long line of your ancestors and parents, which weaknesses we give to all our children. We will assist you as you seek to become the sensitive and loving man you really are and were in your pre-mortal life.'
I then thanked my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother who were now in front of me standing by her flowerbed of Heaven's Breath. I felt so happy!
I then started falling back, a sensation I have sometimes when I leave the heavenly realm. I was then immediately back in my adjacent bedroom in our house writing all of this experience down. I feel such peace and love! I know this was a very real experience today for me in heaven. I closed my prayer and started a new day."

Moses 6:49
49 Behold Satan hath come among the children of men, and tempteth them to worship him; and men have become carnal, sensual, and devilish, and are shut out from the presence of God.
94F2-94F10: "Heavenly Father spoke to me:
'Raphael, you have had truths about light confirmed to you last night by your Heavenly Mother. We are able to create the amount of light energy we wish to shine forth. We do this all by our thoughts.
Your Heavenly Mother talked about instantaneous travel of light energy across the existing light matter webs, all through our universe. We may similarly encapsulate love matter in light energy and send it forth instantaneously to whomever or wherever we wish.
Love comes from us, a result of the abundant kindly feelings we have for our own children and all our creations. This is a tangible emotion, an actual matter substance that may be perceived and felt. You have seen with your spiritual eyes recently how it flows from us, through our tree of life and then to the earth. The love matter flows along these same web paths of light matter instantaneously. We enshroud the love in light energy and it then may travel across vast distances without being diminished in intensity, for it is matter. It arrives the moment we wish it to, to fill the hearts of our children wherever they may be. The love may be received and felt by our children. This causes swelling feelings of compassion, acceptance, kindness and all other virtues of love. Our child who accepts our love usually feels motivated to bless others around him or her.
In the great day of our millennium, we will send more of our love continually upon the earth to all our children who dwell there. Our elect will sense our love and then fully accept it. As they accept this in their hearts and minds, they will want to turn outward in service and care for others and for all our wonderful creations.
Love enhances our children with additional light that accompanies it. Our children naturally smile and act in tender caring ways, having a glow of love coming from them. We continue to send more of our love to those who accept our love and this in turn flows out from their very being.
Our elect children are recognizable by the high levels of light and love they have to share with those around them. All of this comes from us, their loving Heavenly Parents that we shed forth abroad in great abundance on the earth.
If one of our children does not accept our light or love, they will not receive these into their hearts or minds. They then are left by their own choice to become more carnal, sensual and devilish, for Satan comes to tempt them.
Moses 6:49
"Behold, Satan hath come among the children of men and tempteth them to worship him; and men have become carnal, sensual and devilish, and are shut out from the presence of God."
Our mortal children therefore may receive more light and love that comes from us, thus becoming like our Beloved Son. However, if they close their hearts to us, they will lose that light and love that they already have. They will then attract the adversary and be tempted to accept his ways, which are to become carnal, sensual and devilish.
Therefore, all men and women are free to choose whom they listeth to obey (Alma 3:27 and Mosiah 2:33). They choose the amount of light and love that we send them. If they are our elect, they receive more and more light and love, and in this way we lead them to ultimately act and become as we are.'
Heavenly Mother then spoke to me:
'Raphael, the words of your Father are true! We send forth abundantly our light (our Spirit) and our love abroad among our children. Those who accept it are able to be themselves more filled with our light and love. This tangible substance then shines and exudes from their very being. Light attracts light and love attracts love. You may therefore discern clearly those who are our elect, for they have love for their fellowman.
We may also send other emotions we create in light energy, to whomever and wherever we desire instantaneously. When we speak to you, we intersperse with our thoughts the various emotions we create to enhance our meaning. This is common also to our children, for we taught them early as spirit children how to do this.
The greatest of all emotions is love. This is why we have particularly emphasized this for it encompasses all other goodly emotions and virtues. We have even chosen our tree of life to send our love abroad freely upon the world and its inhabitants.
We love you Raphael! We will continue to pour out upon you our light, love and revelations as fast as you are able to receive them.'
I thanked my Heavenly Parents for their beautiful word today, accompanied by their light and love! I feel so blessed to have been in their presence!"

Moses 6:51-53,59-68
51 And he called upon our father Adam by his own voice, saying: I am God; I made the world, and men before they were in the flesh.
52 And he also said unto him: If thou wilt turn unto me, and hearken unto my voice, and believe, and repent of all thy transgressions, and be baptized, even in water, in the name of mine Only Begotten Son, who is full of grace and truth, which is Jesus Christ, the only name which shall be given under heaven, whereby salvation shall come unto the children of men, ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, asking all things in his name, and whatsoever ye shall ask, it shall be given you.
53 And our father Adam spake unto the Lord, and said: Why is it that men must repent and be baptized in water? And the Lord said unto Adam: Behold I have forgiven thee thy transgression in the Garden of Eden.
59 That by reason of transgression cometh the fall, which fall bringeth death, and inasmuch as ye were born into the world by water, and blood, and the spirit, which I have made, and so became of dust a living soul, even so ye must be born again into the kingdom of heaven, of water, and of the Spirit, and be cleansed by blood, even the blood of mine Only Begotten; that ye might be sanctified from all sin, and enjoy the words of eternal life in this world, and eternal life in the world to come, even immortal glory;
60 For by the water ye keep the commandment; by the Spirit ye are justified, and by the blood ye are sanctified;
61 Therefore it is given to abide in you; the record of heaven; the Comforter; the peaceable things of immortal glory; the truth of all things; that which quickeneth all things, which maketh alive all things; that which knoweth all things, and hath all power according to wisdom, mercy, truth, justice, and judgment.
62 And now, behold, I say unto you: This is the plan of salvation unto all men, through the blood of mine Only Begotten, who shall come in the meridian of time.
63 And behold, all things have their likeness, and all things are created and made to bear record of me, both things which are temporal, and things which are spiritual; things which are in the heavens above, and things which are on the earth, and things which are in the earth, and things which are under the earth, both above and beneath: all things bear record of me.
64 And it came to pass, when the Lord had spoken with Adam, our father, that Adam cried unto the Lord, and he was caught away by the Spirit of the Lord, and was carried down into the water, and was laid under the water, and was brought forth out of the water.
65 And thus he was baptized, and the Spirit of God descended upon him, and thus he was born of the Spirit, and became quickened in the inner man.
66 And he heard a voice out of heaven, saying: Thou art baptized with fire, and with the Holy Ghost. This is the record of the Father, and the Son, from henceforth and forever;
67 And thou art after the order of him who was without beginning of days or end of years, from all eternity to all eternity.
68 Behold, thou art one in me, a son of God; and thus may all become my sons. Amen.

I gave a talk on baptism for my grandson this weekend at his baptism. I used Moses 6:51-66 as my text. It was supposed to be only 3-5 minutes long, so I abbreviated my message a lot. I used visual aids and taught that Adam was the first man baptized, even by the Holy Ghost, and was quickened in the inner man.
Since the time of preparing my talk, I have been re-reading this section in the Book of Moses every day, and pondering it. I have felt that my Heavenly Parents wanted to impart to me more information on this subject.
Today I prayed about this, and asked for clarification on what actually happened during this time when Adam was baptized by the Spirit. Heavenly Father answered me directly, and spend about 20 minutes describing to me in great detail what happened. My mind was opened to the historical account as given to me by my Father! I was very enlightened and felt so blessed! I am going to now reconstruct what he revealed to me in my mind, in words that I heard during that time. I pray that I will have the gift of clear recollection, and that Heavenly Father will be here by my side as I record this amazing revelation!
Here is what I received:
"Raphael, this is your Heavenly Father speaking to you. Your Heavenly Mother and I have been impressing to you over the past few days with these verses, so that we could reveal to you more of our mysteries, and so that you could write them down in your record for our faithful elect to read and ponder.
When Adam and Eve left the Garden of Eden, they built an altar of stones and knelt there. They prayed together to me, in the name of my Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, that I would hear their voice. In response, Jesus Christ appeared to them and quickened both of them to view him with their spiritual eyes. They also heard his words through the Spirit of the Lord that came into their minds, even as I am speaking to you now by this same Spirit (see Moses 1:11).
Jesus Christ addressed Adam in words similar to Moses 6:51-52. Continuing after these verses: "And our father Adam spake unto the Lord, and said: Why is it that men must repent and be baptized in water? And the Lord said unto Adam: Behold I have forgiven thee thy transgression in the Garden of Eden. (Moses 6:53)"
Jesus Christ taught Adam the words that are recorded in Moses 6:54-63. In verses 61,64-66 the record reads as follows, with my comments in parenthesis:
"Therefore it (the Holy Ghost) is given to abide in you; the record of heaven (this is the Lamb's Book of Life, or Book of Life that is kept in our celestial orb); the Comforter (the Holy Ghost); the peaceable things of immortal glory; the truth of all things.
And it came to pass, when the Lord (Jesus Christ) had spoken with Adam, our father, that Adam cried unto the Lord (he cried out, repenting and pleading to God for forgiveness and baptism), and he was caught away by the Spirit of the Lord (the Holy Ghost, or Heavenly Mother), and was carried down into the water, and was laid under the water, and was brought forth out of the water (this she did in order to fill him with her Holy Ghost to a high degree, even to quicken him with her abundant light in the inner man).
And thus he was baptized, and the Spirit of God (the Holy Ghost) descended upon him, and thus he was born of the Spirit, and became quickened in the inner man.
And he heard a voice out of heaven (this was my voice, the voice of the Father), saying: Thou art baptized with fire, and with the Holy Ghost. This is the record of the Father, and the Son, from henceforth and forever."
The Holy Ghost is your Heavenly Mother for this eternity. She and Oriphiel, our record-keeper archangel, are the only two individuals who record the names of the faithful in the Book of Life."
Heavenly Mother has written the names of the faithful who were true to Jesus Christ in the premortal life. She wrote the names of our children in the first section of the Book of Life, prior to their advent into mortality. For those who rebelled and followed Lucifer, and who did not keep their first estate (see Abraham 3:28), she did not write their names in the Book of Life. However, for those who later repented, because of your recent words to them, Raphael (these are called the Refugees of Lucifer in your record), after they repented and came to Jesus Christ, she wrote their premortal names also in the Book of Life.
Oriphiel writes the names in heaven (on the celestial realm of the earth or on our celestial orb) in the Book of Life of those who are baptized on the mortal earth, as was Adam, who are baptized by my authority and permission. These are baptized by immersion in water for the remission of sins. Those who are authorized to administer baptisms by me are those who have been ordained to my holy priesthood, now called the Melchizedek Priesthood. In the days of Moses, a new and lesser order of the priesthood, even the Aaronic Priesthood, was also conferred upon Aaron and his sons, authorizing them to baptize for those living in the flesh. In the dispensation of the fulness of times, this Aaronic Priesthood was also conferred upon Joseph Smith. Joseph Smith received in addition the Melchizedek Priesthood from Peter, James and John. He was later ordained also by Elijah to receive the priesthood keys of sealing which attended the Melchizedek Priesthood. This sealing power is required to administer baptisms for the dead. These keys were passed down and retained in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints until the death of President Thomas S. Monson, but since have been removed from that church.
All of these baptisms that were thus authorized, are recorded in the Book of Life. Oriphiel records all of these authorized baptisms for the living and the dead in a section of the Book of Life. Oriphiel's first baptismal entry in that book was Adam's baptism. Oriphiel wrote as his first entry, the premortal name of Michael for Adam, the names of the two witnesses which were Jehovah and the premortal name Sophia for Eve, and then the date of his baptism since the fall of man, all done in the language of Adam, or the original language. After the baptisms of Adam and Eve, two witnesses continued to be required and their names recorded in the Book of Life.
The individual who immersed your father Adam in the water was the Holy Ghost, or Heavenly Mother. Together we agreed it would be her who did this baptism by immersion, even though she did not hold my priesthood. She did this under her authority as a High Priestess and a God. This was the only time in this eternity when she administered this baptismal ordinance. Subsequently, Adam and/or his sons who held the priesthood administered the baptisms for all others including Eve.
Another section of the Book of Life is also written exclusively by Oriphiel. This is for the recording of the waters of separation ordinance administered by Raphael. The premortal name, the date, and the premortal names of the two witnesses are recorded, in the language of Adam.
There are two additional sections of the Book of Life that will be recorded by Heavenly Mother. In one section, the sealing of the couples in the celestial temple sealing rooms in the celestial temple on our celestial orb is recorded. The premortal names, names of two witnesses, and who of the three Gods administered the sealing ordinance is all recorded. In the final section, the ordination to be couple gods in eternity is recorded. This is done on the resurrected celestial earth on the couple's own eternal inheritance by your Heavenly Mother and me.
Once this eternity is closed, and all the faithful become couple gods, they will have access to the Book of Life. It is here that they may see their names written in each of the sections of the Book of Life.
My sealing keys, which are a component of my priesthood, were conferred upon Elijah the prophet by Jesus Christ who received them from me. Elijah came to the Kirtland temple and conferred these keys on Joseph Smith, my seer and prophet (see D&C 110:13-16). I require that these keys be conferred upon the head of the telestial or terrestrial Church of Christ in order for them and those to whom they delegate, to administer baptisms for the dead. See also D&C 128:15-17 and your notes dated Dec 10, 2024 in D&C 2:1-3. These keys of the priesthood are also necessary for you, Raphael, to administer the waters of separation ordinance in the New Jerusalem temple. Both baptism and waters of separation ordinances are recorded in the Book of Life by Oriphiel. These priesthood keys are essential to having what is administered on earth (baptism for the dead and waters of separation ordinances) to be recorded in heaven, our celestial abode, even in the Book of Life. For those who baptize for the living, the sealing keys do not need be operative to have them recorded in the Book of Life, but necessarily my priesthood authority."
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his rich outpouring of hidden knowledge and mysteries of God, poured out upon me, his humble servant! I hope that I have written correctly what he had given to me earlier today by revelation.
Tue, Jan 7, 2025
I have been striving to confirm all that I received from Heavenly Father yesterday. In so doing I found an entry in 125D3-125D10. This was a revelation from Heavenly Mother. She said that she created the Lamb's Book of Life before the earth was populated with her children. She also made various volumes of the Book of Life. She alone wrote the names of her children in the Book of Life when Jesus Christ suffered for their sins, during the time of Christ's suffering. She said that she would leave space for Oriphiel to record the ordinance of the waters of separation, under her entry. She said there would also be another entry recorded at the day of judgment where their child would be assigned for eternity.
If what I received yesterday is true, then I believe that there are two more entry sections in the Book of Life beyond what my Father told me about yesterday: one section recording that the suffering Jesus Christ was sufficient for a particular child, and one section at the day of judgment of where that child was assigned to live for eternity, in one of the three degrees of glory, or no glory. This makes a total of seven sections of the Book of Life. The number seven is a godly number and signifies completeness (see 125C26). This makes perfect sense that there would be seven sections, not just five sections in the Book of Life. I will pray more about this and seek to receive answers to reconcile all of my questions.
I had several hours this morning to meditate and pray about these things. My family was all gone, and I was left alone to commune with God in the quiet beauty of my own home. I felt that Heavenly Mother would reveal herself to me in this setting, and help me understand all of the truths relating to the Lamb's Book of Life.
I prayed to Heavenly Mother in my front room, seeking her direction and greater understanding. She then spoke directly to my mind, and asked me to write the words that she would speak to me! I could tell that she was standing on my right side, in her highest celestial realm of glory, while I was sitting on my couch on the mortal earth, with my computer on my lap, ready to write her words.
"Raphael, this is your Heavenly Mother speaking to you in your mind. I am very pleased that you are now writing my words, and are in tune to what I may say to you. You are my clear conduit of my thoughts and words at this time. You are humble, open, and seek to hear my voice and come to a knowledge of the truth, even as I will reveal them to you.
Yesterday your Heavenly Father truly spoke to you about the five sections that either Oriphiel or I write in the Book of Life. You did well recalling what your Father said to you. I will complete the revelation on the Book of Life today, and give you an overall better understanding of our purposes in creating this book, and in all the sections of the Book of Life.
You are correct that there are seven distinct section of the Book of Life. These are filled in for our children as they meet certain requirements and are accepted by the Holy Spirit of Promise, which is my approval and acceptance of their actions (see D&C 76:53). This Holy Spirit of Promise is the witness I give in acceptance of the ordinances that Oriphiel will record. Once he confirms that I have given this witness, then he records the required entry in the Book of Life. This record, the Book of Life, is our record that we use to document the journey of each of our children. There are also multiple volumes for our children, and each child has all of their records in the same volume. Each volume is divided into seven sections.
I had revealed to you in your post 125D7 the following: "As the ordinance for the waters of separation is completed, Oriphiel will then find my entry in the Lamb's Book of Life and record that you, Raphael, performed the waters of separation ordinance for that child for whom Jesus had suffered. I will inspire Oriphiel where to find my entry in the volumes I had given him that morning." This entry that I have previously written for a particular child will direct Oriphiel to which volume in which to do his recording. There is sufficient space in that volume for him write his entry. His recording will be in the third or fourth section, depending whether he is recording a baptism or a waters of separation ordinance. At the time I revealed this information in your post 125 about the Book of Life, we chose not to reveal to you the full nature of our recordings in the Book of Life. However, now it is time to reveal all of this to you, Raphael!
The first section of each volume is recorded when our premortal children keep their first estate, and accept Jehovah as their Great Redeemer. They are allowed to proceed into the second estate, that of mortality, and to receive a physical body and be further tested. I recorded their name in one of the volumes of the Book of Life. For those who rebelled, and did not accept our Beloved Son Jehovah as their Redeemer, but followed Lucifer, their names were not recorded in the Book of Life at that time. Were they to repent before the day of judgment, I would record their names in this first section. For those who will never repent, they would ultimately be considered no longer our beloved child. This action would be initiated by them, for they would forever swear before Lucifer that we were never their Heavenly Parents. Their destiny is to have their spirit body stripped from their base intelligence, and their intelligence be removed to a location in space apart from any other intelligence or being.
The second section of each volume of the Book of Life is recorded by me, your Heavenly Mother. I was with your Heavenly Father, observing the suffering of our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, for the sins of each of our children. When Jesus Christ had suffered enough, according to the Book of the Laws of God (see your post 125G7-125G9), I recorded this entry for that particular child for whom Jesus Christ suffered. We who are Gods, are able to understand and know when the suffering of our child is sufficient to pay for their sins. In this case, it was the proxy suffering of our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, the Great Redeemer, who suffered for the sins of each of our children, from the beginning to the end of their lives. When the suffering was sufficient, we conveyed this to Jesus, and he stopped suffering for that individual child. I then recorded in the second section that Jesus Christ had suffered sufficiently, according to the Book of the Laws of God, for that child's sins.
In the third section of each volume of the Book of Life, Oriphiel, our record-keeper archangel, records the baptism of our children in mortality. These baptisms are for the living and the dead, by authorized servants of your Heavenly Father. You are correct that those holding the Father's priesthood have the authority to baptize those living on the earth who believe in Jesus Christ and repent of all their sins. Those who baptize for the dead are those who hold or are delegated the sealing keys of the higher priesthood, in our telestial or terrestrial Church of Christ. This permits their actions to be recorded in heaven, in the Book of Life by Oriphiel. The dead may receive these baptisms as those on earth do, by exercising faith in Jesus Christ, and repenting of all their sins. They also may receive the gift of the Holy Ghost by proxy. When they receive their baptism on earth of water and of fire, they are received into the terrestrial kingdom of glory in the spirit world (called the paradise of God), prior to their resurrection. Oriphiel records the baptisms for the living and the dead upon the approval of the Holy Spirit of Promise, given by me, for each individual baptism.
In the fourth section of each volume of the Book of Life, Oriphiel records the ordinance of the waters of separation, administered by you in the New Jerusalem temple. This ordinance is reserved for those chosen by our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ. We have thoroughly proven the faithfulness of our child in keeping our commandments, and in learning to follow my Spirit in all instances while on earth. These are the humble and meek of the earth, who put our will above their own. These are our celestial, for once they have been accepted into the Church of the Firstborn, by receiving the waters of separation ordinance from you, Raphael, their names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life. In every case, I approve of your administration of the waters of separation by my Holy Spirit of Promise. These individuals who receive this great blessing are guaranteed to become even as your Father and I are, couple gods in eternity!
Raphael, you have received from our servant Elijah the sealing keys of the Melchizedek Priesthood, allowing you to administer the ordinance of the waters of separation, for all our faithful children chosen by Jesus Christ. Because of this authority and commission you possess, their names may be written in this fourth section of the Book of Life. What you do on earth for them, in the celestial realm of the New Jerusalem temple, Oriphiel is able to record their name in this Book of Life. He returns to me the volumes of this book that he recorded during the day, where I dwell in the highest celestial realm of glory, for safekeeping. I give to Oriphiel new volumes of my Book of Life each day for those he will be recording in for that day.
In the fifth section of each volume of the Book of Life, I record the final eternal destiny of each of our children. This is recorded at the judgment day for this eternity. Those who are our celestial will have already had all previous four sections recorded. For those who are terrestrial or telestial, they will have had both of the first two sections recorded, and perhaps the third, but they were either not valiant in the testimony of Jesus Christ, or did not accept Jesus Christ in the flesh (see D&C 76:71-85). In their case, Oriphiel will not have recorded their names in the fourth section of the Book of Life. We require also that those of a terrestrial or telestial glory, during the day of judgment, finally accept Jesus Christ as their Savior. They will also need to have suffered sufficiently for their own sins according the what is required in the Book of the Laws of God. They need to suffer since they rejected the full extent of their Great Redeemer's suffering in their behalf. When each of our children's sufferings are sufficient, I record that in this fifth section next to their name and the assigned judgment they are to receive. For those who became sons or daughters of perdition, their suffering is to continue, according the Book of the Laws of God (see also D&C 76:43-48).
In the sixth section of each volume of the Book of Life, I record the sealing of our faithful celestial couples in celestial temple sealing rooms of our celestial temple. Either Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, or I administer this sealing ordinace. We seal the man to his wife, and the woman to her husband, in an eternally binding ceremony and ordinance. They will then be given an inheritance on the celestial earth, which will also be determined and recorded, along with each of their names in this sixth section.
In the seventh section of each volume, the ordination to be couple gods in eternity is recorded. This is done on the resurrected celestial earth on the couple's own eternal inheritance, by both your Heavenly Father and me. The man receives the fulness of the Father's priesthood, in full authority and power, and the woman receives the fulness of my High Priestess calling, to the same authority and power as I possess. This entry verifies that they were both ordained as gods in eternity, with all of the powers and privileges of us, their Heavenly Parent Gods.
Raphael, you have correctly written the doctrine of what I have inspired you to record in your Book of Raphael. Your Father and I are very pleased that this piece of the mystery of godliness is now revealed to man, never before revealed.
Go over this entry and check for punctuation and wording. Then verify with me that what you have written is fully acceptable before us."
Later that day:
I have gone over this revelation that I have written, and am filled with the love of God for their children, in this great plan and creation of the Book of Life! It all rings so true to me! I will, however, go over it tonight and probably tomorrow, to confirm it all, and to make sure it is all correct with my Heavenly Parents. Oh, I feel such clearness and enlightenment!
Wed, Jan 8, 2025
I have been pondering over this great revelation many times in my mind. I have reviewed it in detail again, and verified all that is written as acceptable before God and true. I pray that you who receive this will also humbly seek your own confirmation from our Gods, in the name of their Beloved Son, Jesus Christ. If you are humble and open, having faith in Jesus Christ, the truth of all these things will be revealed to you by the power of the Holy Ghost.
199I11: "Heavenly Father turned to me and continued: 'Raphael, every one whose names Oriphiel writes in the Book of Life will inherit eternal life and exaltation, even as our faithful sons and daughters from our previous eternities have attained. These are all our own beloved children! We know each by name, and remember with clarity all of our interactions with them. We never forget them, and continue our close relationships, worlds without end into eternity."

Moses 6:60
60 For by the water ye keep the commandment; by the Spirit ye are justified, and by the blood ye are sanctified;
109E10-109E11: "The priest then blessed the water. Heavenly Mother then spoke: 'Raphael, even though you normally make your covenant just before partaking of the broken bread, and even though we accept your covenant directly after you partake of the bread, this does not diminish the importance of the emblems of the water or wine. These emblems represent the cleansing blood of Jesus Christ, who will truly cleanse you spiritually and make you pure and holy. Even though you may maintain your purity week to week, our Beloved Son continues to increase the clarity and light you possess. His atoning blood, represented by the water or wine of the sacrament, will continue to keep you clean and pure, acceptable before us based on his own purity and worthiness as the Great Redeemer.'
I then thought of this scripture: Moses 6:60 "For by the water ye keep the commandment; by the Spirit ye are justified, and by the blood ye are sanctified." I feel the water represents baptism (born by water), and the Holy Spirit is given at baptism and at the renewal at the sacrament, each time. The blood of Jesus Christ is represented by the sacrament water or wine, where Jesus Christ cleanses and sanctifies us, increasing clarity and light as we prove faithful and are steady. The speakers immediately began and I wrote all of this down in my pocket journal. I have just transcribed this into my personal journal."

Moses 7:16-18
16 And from that time forth there were wars and bloodshed among them; but the Lord came and dwelt with his people, and they dwelt in righteousness.
17 The fear of the Lord was upon all nations, so great was the glory of the Lord, which was upon his people. And the Lord blessed the land, and they were blessed upon the mountains, and upon the high places, and did flourish.
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.
168H9-168H12, from Heavenly Father: "Before the great flood, my servant Enoch gathered the righteous from the earth. Those who heard his words and were receptive to my light and Spirit believed and followed him. It was also a time of fear and great difficulty, for so many of our mortal children followed Satan. This was the day of a great division upon the land, even as will happen in your day. Enoch and his people established Zion, the pure in heart, for they desired righteousness, and there was great unity and love among them. Such will also come about in your day.
Moses 7:16-18
"And from that time forth there were wars and bloodshed among them; but the Lord came and dwelt with his people, and they dwelt in righteousness.
The fear of the Lord was upon all nations, so great was the glory of the Lord, which was upon his people. And the Lord blessed the land, and they were blessed upon the mountains, and upon the high places, and did flourish.
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."
Raphael, in your day of wars and bloodshed, of great calamity and tribulations, we will also gather out our elect and protect them. We will send forth our light and love upon them in abundance. We will send forth our many celestial and terrestrial servants among them, hidden mostly from their view, to bring them to our Zion that will again be established on the earth.
In these days of preparation, make time for the lonely and fearing people among you, even in your neighborhood. Write or call those who are your family and friends. Encourage and bless them with your words and love. We will be with you, and extend ourselves to those who are open to our light and Spirit.'"
178I7-178I15: "Heavenly Father addressed me: 'Raphael, you are correct that we are emphasizing and teaching the celestial doctrine of the fulness of our gospel more these days to you, of making our abode and residence with our celestial elect. We wish all who are our faithful to press forward in faith, so that we may come to them in such a manner. We will be a continual guide to them as the world around them becomes more treacherous and darkened.
Whenever any of our people, in any eternity on their mortal earths, have entered extremely darkened times, we have emphasized again this same doctrine. This is a great boon to their soul amidst the great evil and darkness soon to surround them!
Of ourselves we may teach and encourage our children, but will never make or coerce them in any of their own decisions. We strongly encourage our elect now to do as Nephi of old taught:
2 Nephi 31:19-21
"And now, my beloved brethren, after ye have gotten into this strait and narrow path, I would ask if all is done? Behold, I say unto you, Nay; for ye have not come thus far save it were by the word of Christ with unshaken faith in him, relying wholly upon the merits of him who is mighty to save.
Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life.
And now, behold, my beloved brethren, this is the way; and there is none other way nor name given under heaven whereby man can be saved in the kingdom of God. And now, behold, this is the doctrine of Christ, and the only and true doctrine of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, which is one God, without end. Amen."'
My Father then spoke to me: 'Raphael, when Enoch preached to his people whom he gathered from across the earth, he taught them this same doctrine. It too was a very dark time, when "there were wars and bloodshed among them; but the Lord came and dwelt with his people, and they dwelt in righteousness." (see Moses 7:16).
The Lord was Jesus Christ who individually came to those who pressed forth in faith and sought Christ's presence. He then sanctified these people, one by one, and brought them into our presence in our celestial world.
"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." (Moses 7:18).
Raphael, your day will be akin to Enoch's day, when many of our elect will be spurred on to greater effort in coming unto our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ. As they press forth, he will respond and accept them, and soon appear to them in their unconscious mind. They will become purified by his great power of redemption, and sanctified so that they may come back again into our very presence, even as you have been.
This is our desire now, again for our chosen elect. What you have recorded in your journal by revelation in your prayers is our will for all of our faithful to do.'"

The Zion built up on America by Enoch is a type of the latter-day Zion to be built up on this land. Similarities: Lord dwells with them, all people fear Zion, they live upon the mountains, glory of the Lord there, people of one heart and one mind, and dwell in righteousness, and no poor among them.
159L2-159L "I came to the mountain saddle between the east and west mountaintop. I wanted to clarify myself, so I saw a little snow nearby and ate it. This living water melted in my mouth, high up in this mountaintop, and seemed to clarify my thoughts.
I then went directly to the tree of life at the end of the straight and narrow path. I ate a glowing white fruit and a leaf from that tree. I asked that my food later today would be living food to me, and that the greens I would later eat today would be living greens. I felt those I would later eat would be terrestrial living foods and greens, even as I would later eat in the coming millennial day.
I then came again back to the mountain saddle by the dripping or melting snow. I faced east and knelt on the mountain ground cover. It was clear and sunny. I humbly prayed to receive my Heavenly Parents before me and receive their revelation this morning about the rainbow, and whatever they wanted to share with me.
I then looked up into the eastern sky and saw a white, billowing cloud. I saw a mist of wispy clouds, or watery skies like after a fresh rain. I saw a very bright rainbow arch over the mountaintop, even above the cloud, with its ends going into the cloud. I then saw my very bright Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother on top of the cloud. From my perspective they were standing on top of this beautiful rainbow!
Heavenly Mother left the side of her husband on her right, and seemed to float down to me! The path she took in the sky seemed to sparkle with light behind her also.! She soon was before me, beaming with the brightness of her glory. Her visage was beautiful as I looked upon her. She was smiling broadly, and her eyes were sparkling with joy it seemed. I then saw a golden crown appear on her head, and the reflection of the rainbow behind her glistened upon her crown in the front jewel (I think it was a diamond) that shone beautiful colors on me and the ground round about like a prism!
I also felt her intense love for me and for her children of this eternity shine with her light into my being. This light and love passed through me and filled me, every part of me, with a broad spectrum of happy loving emotions like compassion (violet), gentleness (indigo), charity (blue), kindness (green), service (yellow), cheerfulness (orange) and intense focus (red). I saw all of these rainbow colors as she glistened before me. The emotions came into my mind as I pondered on these beautiful colors and the love they represented. There are seven colors and seven love emotions that shone upon me and through me. These all created deep satisfaction and joy, even to swelling me with eternal bliss and contentment, safety and happiness.
Heavenly Mother then spoke to me: 'Raphael, you have correctly written in your journal that the seven colors of our rainbow, that we have set in the clouds of our sky behind me, represent seven aspects of my intense love for my children of this eternity. These, our offspring, are made in the image of your Heavenly Father and me, and if they prove faithful to our loving promptings, they will eventually possess all aspects of our love that we continually shine forth upon them now. This is the true love of the Gods, and for those who attain our station as a God. Because of our love we so desire to freely share with our children. This brings us elation in being filled with love continually. This is our great emotion that brings us eternal peace, happiness and joy!
Raphael, the rainbow represents our celestial love for each other and our beloved children. We desire all these to possess it too.
When Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son, spoke to Enoch, he spoke of the days you live in, the days of darkness, wickedness and vengeance upon the earth. Turn now to the west, and look upon the western skies above the western mountain, and you will see our Son, Jesus Christ, when he spoke to Enoch on this very mountain, even before Enoch's city was taken up into our celestial orb.'
I then swiveled around on my knees, and looked upon the west mountaintop, into the western skies.
I then saw Jesus Christ in a white robe, and Enoch the prophet standing next to him. The words of Jesus are those found in Moses 7:60-64-
"And the Lord said unto Enoch: As I live, even so will I come in the last days, in the days of wickedness and vengeance, to fulfill the oath which I have made unto you concerning the children of Noah (Heavenly Mother spoke into my mind then that the children of Noah were the elect of God that the Father had chosen in these last days);
And the day shall come that the earth shall rest, but before that day the heavens shall be darkened, and a veil of darkness shall cover the earth; and the heavens shall shake (this is the air and weather above the earth), and also the earth; and great tribulations shall be among the children of men, but my people (the elect of God, even those who are now terrestrial mortals) will I preserve;
And righteousness will I send down out of heaven (this refers to my abundant Spirit and light which we will shed forth upon our faithful, including our revelations. It also includes my corona flame given in abundance to our elect, and you Raphael standing next to each one with your sword of Raphael unsheathed to protect them from Satan with the silver lightning of God the Father); and truth will I send forth out of the earth (this includes the abundant scriptures you possess in your day, even the Book of Mormon and the sealed portion of that book), to bear testimony of mine Only Begotten; his resurrection from the dead; yea, and also the resurrection of all men; and righteousness and truth will I cause to sweep the earth as with a flood (Raphael, this includes all of our scriptures, words of the prophets, and some of your words we have revealed to you), to gather out mine elect from the four quarters of the earth, unto a place which I shall prepare, an Holy City (this is the celestial temple in the New Jerusalem, which will make the entire New Jerusalem holy, and the surrounding area), that my people may gird up their loins (this means to prepare themselves spiritually for that which is to come), and be looking forth for the time of my coming; for there shall be my tabernacle, and it shall be called Zion, a New Jerusalem (Raphael, this city, or the temple of this city, shall first become partially built before Enoch and his city shall return to the earth. You will construct this city even as your Heavenly Father and I will direct you, in every regard. This will then become the center place of Zion, for it will be celestial, even a portal to our celestial orb as you have previously described. Only our chosen elect that Jesus chooses, who are heirs of the Church of the Firstborn will be able to see it with their quickened celestial eyes. Many will see the sign of our covenant above our celestial temple in the rainbow, representing the love of God).
And the Lord said unto Enoch: Then shalt thou and all thy city meet them there (Enoch's group will come, one by one, into our celestial temple to receive the waters of separation ordinance from you and be recorded by Oriphiel in the Lamb's Book of Life), and we will receive them into our bosom, and they shall see us; and we will fall upon their necks, and they shall fall upon our necks, and we will kiss each other (Raphael, this will happen among the elect of your generation and those from Enoch's group. However, the great emotions of this love exchange will occur in the New Jerusalem temple, particularly in the font room when you and Oriphiel admit them finally into the glorious celestial Church of the Firstborn! You will witness that on every brow of these faithful elect will appear a unique gold crown that your Father and I have designed and crafted, just for each one. You now see my crown on my forehead, and the rainbow colors glistening all around. These too will have these same colors bestowed upon them after the waters of separation ordinance that you individually perform for each one. What a time of joy and deep happiness this will be for them and for you, Oriphiel and their loves ones! I will be present in showering my light and love upon each one of our blessed celestial faithful who thus enter into our Church of the Firstborn!);
And there shall be mine abode (mine abode means that all three of us Gods will be there, even Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ and me), and it shall be Zion, which shall come forth out of all the creations which I have made (this means all of our elect children, regardless of when they will have been born on the mortal earth, will be united as one in passing into the Church of the Firstborn and then moving forward together towards their exaltation and eternal lives together); and for the space of a thousand years the earth shall rest." (words in parenthesis were spoken to my mind directly from Heavenly Mother who had come beside me while we watched and heard Jesus speak to Enoch on the western mountaintop).
Heavenly Mother then turned towards me, and Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ joined her! All three were now facing me while I was kneeling before them. I then saw gold crowns on each of their brows, and they were each unique and magnificent! They shone brilliant light and love upon me. I saw a rainbow then behind them, encompassing all three. Heavenly Father was in the middle, Heavenly Mother on his left and Jesus Christ on his right.
The crowns then disappeared, and the rainbow left. Heavenly Father then spoke to me: 'Raphael, when Noah came forth from the ark, we covenanted with him, through our Beloved Son (he looked towards Jesus on his right side), to never again send the worldwide floods to destroy man whom we had created. We then revealed to Noah the rainbow in the clouds and in the rain and mist on the earth. We set this as a token of the covenant we had made with him. Never before had man seen a rainbow in the skies above the earth. We set the rainbow in the skies on the earth to also remind Noah and his posterity of the covenant that we had made with Enoch, even our everlasting covenant. This was the promise that if men should keep all of our commandments, Zion should come upon the earth in our full celestial glory. This covenant will be fulfilled when our elect, that I have chosen and whom Jesus Christ selects to come to you as new candidates for the Church of the Firstborn, come to our celestial temple and you receive them into our celestial church through the waters of separation ordinance, and Oriphiel records their names in the Book of Life. There will be many gushing of tears and deep joy at the conclusion of this ordinance! They will receive their gold crowns then that will momentarily be seen by all in attendance. Your Heavenly Mother will shed forth her abundant love through the sign of the rainbow that all will also see. These chosen ones will then be filled and changed with the love of God, that will be our gift to them forever more!'
All three of my Gods were smiling upon me, and their resplendent light shone through me like I was transfigured and even transparent. I felt such love and peace, such joy and deep contentment!
My vision then ended, and I heard the voice of my Heavenly Mother in my mind while I concluded writing all of this in my journal: 'Raphael, you have correctly recorded your vision with us in heaven. Make this the final entry for your post 159. Title the post "The Rainbow of My Covenant".
I thanked my Heavenly Mother for this amazing revelation and vision! I have felt very much enwrapped in a heavenly vision, and have written steadily and fast for the past nearly two hours or so since I started my prayer.
I closed my prayer in the name of Jesus Christ, and started my new day."

Moses 7:17-21
17 The fear of the Lord was upon all nations, so great was the glory of the Lord, which was upon his people. And the Lord blessed the land, and they were blessed upon the mountains, and upon the high places, and did flourish.
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.
19 And Enoch continued his preaching in righteousness unto the people of God. And it came to pass in his days, that he built a city that was called the City of Holiness, even Zion.
20 And it came to pass that Enoch talked with the Lord; and he said unto the Lord: Surely Zion shall dwell in safety forever. But the Lord said unto Enoch: Zion have I blessed, but the residue of the people have I cursed.
21 And it came to pass that the Lord showed unto Enoch all the inhabitants of the earth; and he beheld, and lo, Zion, in process of time, was taken up into heaven. And the Lord said unto Enoch: Behold mine abode forever.
144C11-11C16, from Heavenly Father: "Moses 6:39
"And it came to pass when they heard him, no man laid hands on him; for fear came on all them that heard him; for he walked with God."
Enoch gathered the righteous from the nations of the earth in his days.
Moses 7:17-21-
"The fear of the Lord was upon all nations, so great was the glory of the Lord, which was upon his people. And the Lord blessed the land, and they were blessed upon the mountains, and upon the high places, and did flourish.
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.
And Enoch continued his preaching in righteousness unto the people of God. And it came to pass in his days, that he built a city that was called the City of Holiness, even Zion.
And it came to pass that Enoch talked with the Lord; and he said unto the Lord: Surely Zion shall dwell in safety forever. But the Lord said unto Enoch: Zion have I blessed, but the residue of the people have I cursed.
And it came to pass that the Lord showed unto Enoch all the inhabitants of the earth; and he beheld, and lo, Zion, in process of time, was taken up into heaven. And the Lord said unto Enoch: Behold mine abode forever."
Raphael, we brought that city of Zion to our celestial orb, to the land in front of us.'
He pointed to the valley to the north of us where I saw the current city of Zion.
'We translated these people, all of Enoch's people who dwelt in Zion, to a celestial translation. They have since ministered to our children, even to your day. They were translated to a celestial glory, for they all and their entire city came and dwelt on this celestial orb, in the valley before us.
We have previously shown you the city (see your post 47). This migration and removal of our righteous elect has been the most dramatic so far, for we brought them to our heavenly abode, rather than remaining on the earth. We brought them here because the earth was soon to be covered with a flood, and all flesh would be slain except for Noah and those in the ark.
The events in your day of establishing Zion again on the earth will come with great power, in a much shorter time frame that Enoch had to gather and preach to his people. We will be with you, Raphael, as you lead the people of God that we will bring on this land, to build our Zion, the New Jerusalem. This Zion will remain on the earth one thousand years during the great millennium. You will bind Satan, the same who inspired and tempted our mortal children for the past 6,000 years, and cast him and his evil spirits into the bottomless pit. We will not have the devil continue to wreck havoc on our Zion that you help us establish!'"
164B8-164B15, from Heavenly Father: "D&C 105:5-6
"And Zion cannot be built up unless it is by the principles of the law of the celestial kingdom; otherwise I cannot receive her unto myself.
And my people must needs be chastened until they learn obedience, if it must needs be, by the things which they suffer."
As our people share, according to the principles in the law of the celestial kingdom, we will bless them with greater abundance, even in their times of privations and hardships. We will multiply their blessings, like you felt when you were freely given a box of ripe cherries.
The covenant of baptism into the true Church of Christ is correctly described in your scriptures, as caring and blessing for others in need:
Mosiah 18:8-9-
"And it came to pass that he said unto them: Behold, here are the waters of Mormon (for thus were they called) and now, as ye are desirous to come into the fold of God, and to be called his people, and are willing to bear one another's burdens, that they may be light;
Yea, and are willing to mourn with those that mourn; yea, and comfort those that stand in need of comfort, and to stand as witnesses of God at all times and in all things, and in all places that ye may be in, even until death, that ye may be redeemed of God, and be numbered with those of the first resurrection, that ye may have eternal life"
By serving and blessing each other, we will then be able to establish Zion among you:
Moses 7:18-
"And the Lord called his people Zion, because they were of one heart and one mind, and dwelt in righteousness; and there was no poor among them."
The reason that there was no poor among the people of Zion is because they freely shared their abundance that we blessed them with, even according to the law of the celestial kingdom. Sharing like this brings joy to the giver and the receiver, and encourages and blesses all.
We need a people that we abundantly protect and bless to comfort and share greatly their blessings with others. This is the law of Zion, and needs to start even now, in the coming days of spiritual darkness coming upon the earth, among our people, the elect of God.'
I thanked my Father for his teachings this morning! What a blessing I feel to be taught by my Father these things.
I said that I would share of my abundance with those around me. I rejoice in the goodness of God, his great power to bless, protect, and prosper us in happiness and temporal abundance too!"
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.'"
188E5-188E12, from Heavenly Father: "You mentioned to your wife that the love of mankind has grown cold. This you may see in your own community and family. People are not as sensitive or caring as in earlier times, and there is much more selfish behavior. The people are generally more hardened and are lacking love, gentleness, concern, and have discarded decency and tenderness. Your Savior, Jesus Christ, in his ministry, said of your day: "because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold." (Matthew 24:12)
When wickedness spreads over any society, the love that they would naturally have one for another wanes and is replaced with selfishness. The norms of decency and decorum are replaced with sinful practices and disregard for good and wholesome standards of conduct. This will continue among the wicked until they are removed from the earth. We will not tolerate such wickedness to continue to spread and pollute the new spiritual realm coming to the earth!
In the great millennial day, there will be a higher level of love, tenderness, willingness to sacrifice and serve one another than has ever existed in the telestial realms on earth. This will allow Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son, to remain personally on earth and reign as king for the entire thousand years of peace and love.
People who live in their Zion communities will freely share their own possessions and their time in service to others. They will think of others, even those not related or whom they may not know, even as themselves. From an early age, children will be taught to share and serve each other. In so doing, they will find the great satisfaction that comes in loving another. Their tender feelings will perpetuate throughout their lives. The natural man, spoken of in the scriptures, will not be present in the millennial state until the very end when Satan is again loosed for a little season. In this era of peace, the love of all will wax great. Our Zion societies, found in the communities and cities of the entire earth, will truly be filled with the love of God.
Moses 7: 18
"And the Lord called his people Zion, because they were of one heart (meaning that the love of God was in their hearts in abundance) and one mind (meaning they were united in purpose and beliefs), and dwelt in righteousness; and there was no poor among them" (words in parentheses from Heavenly Father).
Raphael, it is in such a terrestrial realm that we will establish in the New Jerusalem a small celestial area on the earth. We will have this be our portal to the earth, and it will be a portal to this, our celestial orb. We will have you construct our celestial temple, and bring our chosen candidates into our celestial church there. The angels and celestial servants will minister eternal salvation to our celestial elect in this heaven on earth. Oh, how glorious this will all be for everyone of you who minister and for those who receive! Our perfect love will characterize all of the actions done in this, our celestial realm on the earth.
Keep your eye focused on our future Zion, and these great glories coming to the earth! We will bring it sooner than you may realize.'
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his uplifting words. I expressed deep gratitude to live in these transitionary times that will end in Zion. I yearn to be there, and said I would keep this as my focus."
189B6-189B12, from Heavenly Father: "This morning I wish to speak to you about service to others. You discussed this with your wife last night. She went on a walk with a neighbor who only talked about herself and never once even thought about asking how your wife was doing. Your wife was gracious and listened to her for the 45 minute walk.
On the other hand, another neighbor hadn't seen your wife walking past her house for the past two days, and thought she was sick. She prepared soup and brought it over to your wife after her walk. This loving neighbor is constantly thinking of others, and wondering how to serve and help them in their lives.
While both neighbors visited with your wife, you were with a fellow ward member who brought his machine earth mover to help get your garden area finished after your fire in the fall. This man has a large family, and came after a full day's work to help for a few hours. He wouldn't take any payment, but cheerfully helped in what would take you weeks to shovel manually. You felt very kindly towards him, and were amazed at the willing service he gave you.
The neighbor who brought soup and the man with his earth mover served you unselfishly. They sought no reward, and loved you as themselves. This is true neighborliness and Christian service. We love to see such selfless love and actions among our mortal children. This sort of godly service will be typical of what neighbors will do for each other in our millennial world. They truly will love their neighbor as themselves.
Matthew 5:43-48
"Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy.
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil, and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect."
In this teaching, Jesus Christ taught that you should not only serve those in your circle of friendship, but those also who are counted to you as enemies. Your love and service should not be restricted to any class of people, or just to your friends, but to all in need that you may be able to help.
Jesus also taught the parable of the Good Samaritan (see Luke 10:29-37). The compassionate and kindly Samaritan had never seen the one whom he helped, but served him even as he would want to be served and loved himself. This sort of thought and intention is truly loving one's neighbor as yourself. It is one of the principles that is lived in fulness in the terrestrial world. It is a requirement for building and sustaining Zion, the pure in heart, where there are no poor or those in want among them (see Moses 7:18).'"

The Zion built up on America by Enoch is a type of the latter-day Zion to be built up on this land. Similarities: Lord dwells with them, all people fear Zion, they live upon the mountains, glory of the Lord there, people of one heart and one mind, and dwell in righteousness, and no poor among them.

22 And Enoch also beheld the residue of the people which were the sons of Adam; and they were a mixture of all the seed of Adam save it was the seed of Cain, for the seed of Cain were black, and had not place among them.
See my notes in Moses 5:29-31, under 133G8-133G22.

Moses 7:33-34
33 And unto thy brethren have I said, and also given commandment, that they should love one another, and that they should choose me, their Father; but behold, they are without affection, and they hate their own blood;
34 And the fire of mine indignation is kindled against them; and in my hot displeasure will I send in the floods upon them, for my fierce anger is kindled against them.
190F7-190F14, from Heavenly Father: "'Raphael, your Heavenly Mother, Jesus Christ our Son, and I labor all our days in trying to bring our mortal children to a point when we might qualify them to enter into and establish Zion. Yet so many of them are hard-hearted, and choose darkness over light. They succumb easily to the temptations of Satan and to the natural man within them.
There are relatively few that will repent and come unto our Beloved Son, that he may redeem and sanctify them. These are those whom your Heavenly Mother and I have called as our elect in your day. And yet they still have a long way to go to qualify for a better terrestrial world, where love and peace abound, and where Satan and his evil hosts cannot enter. They must learn of our ways and obey our Spirit, or they will not be able to enter into the gates of the New Jerusalem or of Zion.
Well did my Beloved Son speak of the rebellious in the days of Enoch:
Moses 7:33-34
"And unto thy brethren have I said, and also given commandment, that they should love one another, and that they should choose me, their Father; but behold, they are without affection, and they hate their own blood;
And the fire of mine indignation is kindled against them; and in my hot displeasure will I send in the floods upon them, for my fierce anger is kindled against them."
Raphael, even though there are many who do not qualify for a better world, even the glories of the millennium, in your day, we will still move forward with our plans to establish Zion and the terrestrial earth in your day. Those who are rebellious must perish, even as did those perish in the floods in Enoch's day. We will have a pure and loving people, and will only accept our elect who fully change into a loving, humble and obedient people.'
Heavenly Father turned towards his wheat field. He spoke again: 'I have labored long and hard to choose the elect, the wheat of my field. What remains are the tares, or the wicked. The elect are gathered into safe garners and are now being taught in our celestial realms at night. Their journeys to Zion will also refine them so that they will be sufficiently open and humble to enter.'
Heavenly Father then turned to me and spoke: 'Raphael, I have a place in the world of the spirit dead for the wicked. There they will remain while Zion flourishes on the earth with the righteous. You will bind Lucifer and his evil hosts in the bottomless pit. We will no longer have the rebellious and unfaithful for the entire thousand years of peace. Afterwards, we will allow the wicked to come again for a little season, and then the end shall come when the earth will die and be resurrected.
At that time our celestial elect will be crowned with glory and become couple gods for eternity. This is the most important of all of our ambitions; to find and choose our elect, and share our great joys with these, our obedient and faithful.
The remainder of our children will then be assigned to their places in the kingdoms we have prepared for them. Our great work will then be completed for this eternity.'"

in former days, when Zion was established, the rest of the wicked in the world would not repent and the world was destroyed with a flood. In the last days, when Zion is established, the wicked will not repent, and will be burned with fire.

Moses 7:35-36
35 Behold, I am God; Man of Holiness is my name; Man of Counsel is my name; and Endless and Eternal is my name, also.
36 Wherefore, I can stretch forth mine hands and hold all the creations which I have made; and mine eye can pierce them also, and among all the workmanship of mine hands there has not been so great wickedness as among thy brethren.
121G20-121G26: "Evening-I came tonight to the desert oasis where it was dark. The moon had gone down and was nowhere in the sky, but there were stars all over the sky. I knew these were really celestial resurrected earths, shining as beautiful glistening heavenly bodies in the night sky! These were all in the local celestial tier of the galaxy. I wondered about these-how old they were and from which eternity they came from? I knew that my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother were the Heavenly Parents of all of these couple gods whose inheritances were on the earths.
I knelt down in the sand and expressed thanksgiving for these amazing works of God up in the sky! I also was so grateful for the beautiful celestial orb on which I knelt on in prayer.
Heavenly Father immediately came to my side, glowing faintly! I am sure that he didn't want to disturb the view of these heavenly bodies in the night sky by shining too brightly.
Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, you are correct that all of these glistening heavenly bodies in in the sky are resurrected celestial earths. There is one earth for each eternity that we have lived with and experienced with our children who have now gone to their eternal glory. We have enjoyed millions of such eternities already, Raphael! I know this is very difficult for you to comprehend, but it is true.
Our works are endless, and have no end! They will continually grow, worlds without end! Moses 7:35-36 "Behold, I am God; Man of Holiness is my name, Man of Counsel is my name, and Endless and Eternal is my name, also."
Raphael, those resurrected celestial earths and the gods that inhabit them, my children, are the gems of all our creations that your Heavenly Mother and I have created! We have individually guided and directed them in their path of progression to become like your Heavenly Mother and me. There billions upon billions of our children now who have gone onto their eternal glory in the celestial worlds, each having created also their own galaxy, perpetuating this same glorious work, forever and ever! This is the very purpose of all the creations of this vast universe, Raphael!'
I felt so humbled and lowly!! I felt so incredibly amazed at the words of my Heavenly Father, on this starry night! Oh how I love this magnificent work!"

Moses 7:48
48 And it came to pass that Enoch looked upon the earth; and he heard a voice from the bowels thereof, saying: Wo, wo is me, the mother of men; I am pained, I am weary, because of the wickedness of my children. When shall I rest, and be cleansed from the filthiness which is gone forth out of me? When will my Creator sanctify me, that I may rest, and righteousness for a season abide upon my face?
Wed, Sep 7, 2011
The earth is alive, has bowels (inside earth) and filthiness which is gone out of her (out of her inside surface) upon her face, or surface .

Moses 7:48,61-62
48 And it came to pass that Enoch looked upon the earth; and he heard a voice from the bowels thereof, saying: Wo, wo is me, the mother of men; I am pained, I am weary, because of the wickedness of my children. When shall I rest, and be cleansed from the filthiness which is gone forth out of me? When will my Creator sanctify me, that I may rest, and righteousness for a season abide upon my face?
61 And the day shall come that the earth shall rest, but before that day the heavens shall be darkened, and a veil of darkness shall cover the earth; and the heavens shall shake, and also the earth; and great tribulations shall be among the children of men, but my people will I preserve;
62 And righteousness will I send down out of heaven; and truth will I send forth out of the earth, to bear testimony of mine Only Begotten; his resurrection from the dead; yea, and also the resurrection of all men; and righteousness and truth will I cause to sweep the earth as with a flood, to gather out mine elect from the four quarters of the earth, unto a place which I shall prepare, an Holy City, that my people may gird up their loins, and be looking forth for the time of my coming; for there shall be my tabernacle, and it shall be called Zion, a New Jerusalem.
56P7-56P9, from Heavenly Mother, speaking of Revelation 12:12 'Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.':
"Verse 12 speaks of a woe coming to the inhabitants of the earth. Satan and his host have already been loosed, and are upon the earth, having great wrath. Now, with the arrival of Nibiru and its trailing heavenly bodies, representing Satan and his hosts, there will be great wrath poured out upon the earth with the tribulations that come to earth. There will be greater flooding, greater waters of the seas heaving themselves beyond their boundaries and shores, greater earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, greater wrenching of the earth who is displeased with the actions of her inhabitants.
(see Moses 7:48, 61-62:
"And it came to pass that Enoch looked upon the earth; and he heard a voice from the bowels thereof, saying: Wo, wo is me, the mother of men; I am pained, I am weary, because of the wickedness of my children. When shall I rest, and be cleansed from the filthiness which is gone forth out of me? When will my Creator sanctify me, that I may rest, and righteousness for a season abide upon my face?
And the day shall come that the earth shall rest, but before that day the heavens shall be darkened, and a veil of darkness shall cover the earth; and the heavens shall shake, and also the earth; and great tribulations shall be among the children of men, but my people will I preserve;").
Men's hearts will fail them, looking forth with fear for the judgments of the Almighty God, which should come upon the wicked (Moses 7:66-"But before that day he saw great tribulations among the wicked; and he also saw the sea, that it was troubled, and menJs hearts failing them, looking forth with fear for the judgments of the Almighty God, which should come upon the wicked.").
Raphael, the day of part of the fulfillment of these scriptures is soon at hand. We will preserve the righteous, and we will gather out our elect from the four quarters of the earth (Moses 7:62-"62 And righteousness will I send down out of heaven; and truth will I send forth out of the earth, to bear testimony of mine Only Begotten; his resurrection from the dead; yea, and also the resurrection of all men; and righteousness and truth will I cause to sweep the earth as with a flood, to gather out mine elect from the four quarters of the earth, unto a place which I shall prepare, an Holy City, that my people may gird up their loins, and be looking forth for the time of my coming; for there shall be my tabernacle, and it shall be called Zion, a New Jerusalem."). We will soon establish the Holy City, even the New Jerusalem, during these troubled times. This celestial city will be our abode on the earth, and it will be Zion, and will remain for a thousand years (see Moses 7:64-"And there shall be mine abode, and it shall be Zion, which shall come forth out of all the creations which I have made; and for the space of a thousand years the earth shall rest."). You and our holy angels will lead out in the building of our holy city on the earth, in not many days.'"
94H1-94H10: "We had to leave our windows all shut because of the abundant smoke outside. At least the wind has died down! It is eerily reddish outside! My wife had a hard time sleeping last night due to all the smoke.
This morning I thought to be in synch with God's will and not to pray for the fires to stop. I do not want to pray to God for something my Heavenly Parents initiated. It does sadden me too about the destruction of all the forests that is now happening. I wonder if these calamities will awaken any of the people to the need to repent and come unto God. I wonder if they will realize that God is in control of nature in this case, and of the increasing calamities on the earth. I believe also that the earth herself is revolting and convulsing more and more because of the wickedness of her inhabitants:
Moses 7:48,61
"And it came to pass that Enoch looked upon the earth; and he heard a voice from the bowels thereof, saying: Wo, wo is me, the mother of men; I am pained, I am weary, because of the wickedness of my children. When shall I rest, and be cleansed from the filthiness which is gone forth out of me? When will my Creator sanctify me, that I may rest, and righteousness for a season abide upon my face?
And the day shall come that the earth shall rest, but before that day the heavens shall be darkened, and a veil of darkness shall cover the earth; and the heavens shall shake, and also the earth; and great tribulations shall be among the children of men, but my people will I preserve."
Enoch saw in vision that Zion would be established during days of great tribulations, and that Jesus Christ would come and reign on the earth for a thousand years of peace.
Moses 7:66
"But before that day he saw great tribulations among the wicked; and he also saw the sea, that it was troubled, and men's hearts failing them, looking forth with fear for the judgments of the Almighty God, which should come upon the wicked."
Such were my thoughts this morning as I prepared for prayer. I came to the fountain of living water in front of God's temple in heaven. I knelt next to the river going north that represented Heavenly Father. I asked for my Heavenly Parents, or one of them, to come to me. I then saw three beings exit the temple doors in front of me! These were Heavenly Father in the middle, Heavenly Mother on his left side, and Jesus Christ on his right. They floated up to me in the air until they were between the fountain and me. They were each firm in their visages! My Heavenly Parents wore regal robes with gold trim. Jesus wore a scarlet red robe. My Heavenly Parents wore scarlet red waist sashes. Their presence was breathtaking, full of power and control!
Heavenly Father spoke to me:
'Raphael, stand before us!'
I stood and looked into the face of my Heavenly Father.
He spoke again:
'Call forth all of the holy angels to stand also before us, behind you in the air and in my fields!'
I responded:
'My Heavenly Father, I will do so now!'
I turned and rose up in the air above the fountain. I withdrew my trumpet of God from its place and blew one note, long and loud. I then spoke with a loud voice:
'All angels of God, assemble yourselves below me in the air and in the fields to the immediate north of the fountain of living water!'
I watched and the sky became immediately full of the holy angels of God. When all were there, we all descended in the air and the fields of the Father, in front of our Gods. I turned and came in front of my Gods again, and bent one knee before them. I bent my head and said:
'My Father, all of the holy angels are now assembled before thee, as thou hast asked me to do!'
Heavenly Father then spoke:
'Our holy angels, I have asked our servant and chief angel, Raphael, to gather you before us three Gods in order to instruct you and give you further commandments. The inhabitants of the earth, our children, have gone far astray! Most will not repent of their wickedness. They continually follow Satan and their own self-centered ways.
We have called you to imbue you with our power to thrash the nations and peoples of the earth (see D&C 133:59). We will each command you to increase the calamity and tribulations coming on the earth among our children who dwell there. When you receive our commands that one of us may give you, act in swiftness! Command the elements with our authority and power to do as we direct. You are our holy angels through whom we will bring these calamities on earth.
Our intent is to gather out our elect form among all people. We have other servants that will also help gather these elect. However, it is upon you and through you that the destructions will come forth, prior to the establishment of Zion and the glorious return to earth of Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son.'
He looked to his right side to Jesus Christ. The Father then extended both of his hands towards the angels. Great light came forth and imbued all of the angels in light and God's power! I felt the light enter my being from my head to my feet! I was lifted up on my feet from my bent knee position. I felt very clear and full of might and strength! It was like the angels and I had been empowered or endowed with God's holy power, to do all we would be commanded to execute, in their holy name and by their authority and power! I felt extremely assured and full of confidence!
Suddenly our Gods were gone from before us. I turned, raised myself in the air above the angels, and withdrew my sword of Raphael above my head.
I then spoke loudly:
'Let us all now go forth in the power of God to do all we are commanded!'
There was a loud shout 'Amen' from the angels! The male angels who had swords raised them high in the air also. All others raised both hands above their heads. I brought forward the sword of Raphael. Silver lightning came forth and connected to each sword tip and to all uplifted hands of the angels. We then vanished from sight, each angel going to their station to await the commands of God"
I myself was immediately back in my adjacent room in my house. I knew my prayer was concluded. I knew what I recorded was true and accurate!"

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

Moses 7:60-64
60 And the Lord said unto Enoch: As I live, even so will I come in the last days, in the days of wickedness and vengeance, to fulfil the oath which I have made unto you concerning the children of Noah;
61 And the day shall come that the earth shall rest, but before that day the heavens shall be darkened, and a veil of darkness shall cover the earth; and the heavens shall shake, and also the earth; and great tribulations shall be among the children of men, but my people will I preserve;
62 And righteousness will I send down out of heaven; and truth will I send forth out of the earth, to bear testimony of mine Only Begotten; his resurrection from the dead; yea, and also the resurrection of all men; and righteousness and truth will I cause to sweep the earth as with a flood, to gather out mine elect from the four quarters of the earth, unto a place which I shall prepare, an Holy City, that my people may gird up their loins, and be looking forth for the time of my coming; for there shall be my tabernacle, and it shall be called Zion, a New Jerusalem.
63 And the Lord said unto Enoch: Then shalt thou and all thy city meet them there, and we will receive them into our bosom, and they shall see us; and we will fall upon their necks, and they shall fall upon our necks, and we will kiss each other;
64 And there shall be mine abode, and it shall be Zion, which shall come forth out of all the creations which I have made; and for the space of a thousand years the earth shall rest.
159L3-159L18: "I then looked up into the eastern sky and saw a white, billowing cloud. I saw a mist of wispy clouds, or watery skies like after a fresh rain. I saw a very bright rainbow arch over the mountaintop, even above the cloud, with its ends going into the cloud. I then saw my very bright Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother on top of the cloud. From my perspective they were standing on top of this beautiful rainbow!
Heavenly Mother left the side of her husband on her right, and seemed to float down to me! The path she took in the sky seemed to sparkle with light behind her also.! She soon was before me, beaming with the brightness of her glory. Her visage was beautiful as I looked upon her. She was smiling broadly, and her eyes were sparkling with joy it seemed. I then saw a golden crown appear on her head, and the reflection of the rainbow behind her glistened upon her crown in the front jewel (I think it was a diamond) that shone beautiful colors on me and the ground round about like a prism!
I also felt her intense love for me and for her children of this eternity shine with her light into my being. This light and love passed through me and filled me, every part of me, with a broad spectrum of happy loving emotions like compassion (violet), gentleness (indigo), charity (blue), kindness (green), service (yellow), cheerfulness (orange) and intense focus (red). I saw all of these rainbow colors as she glistened before me. The emotions came into my mind as I pondered on these beautiful colors and the love they represented. There are seven colors and seven love emotions that shone upon me and through me. These all created deep satisfaction and joy, even to swelling me with eternal bliss and contentment, safety and happiness.
Heavenly Mother then spoke to me: 'Raphael, you have correctly written in your journal that the seven colors of our rainbow, that we have set in the clouds of our sky behind me, represent seven aspects of my intense love for my children of this eternity. These, our offspring, are made in the image of your Heavenly Father and me, and if they prove faithful to our loving promptings, they will eventually possess all aspects of our love that we continually shine forth upon them now. This is the true love of the Gods, and for those who attain our station as a God. Because of our love we so desire to freely share with our children. This brings us elation in being filled with love continually. This is our great emotion that brings us eternal peace, happiness and joy!
Raphael, the rainbow represents our celestial love for each other and our beloved children. We desire all these to possess it too.
When Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son, spoke to Enoch, he spoke of the days you live in, the days of darkness, wickedness and vengeance upon the earth. Turn now to the west, and look upon the western skies above the western mountain, and you will see our Son, Jesus Christ, when he spoke to Enoch on this very mountain, even before Enoch's city was taken up into our celestial orb.'
I then swiveled around on my knees, and looked upon the west mountaintop, into the western skies.
I then saw Jesus Christ in a white robe, and Enoch the prophet standing next to him. The words of Jesus are those found in Moses 7:60-64-
"And the Lord said unto Enoch: As I live, even so will I come in the last days, in the days of wickedness and vengeance, to fulfill the oath which I have made unto you concerning the children of Noah (Heavenly Mother spoke into my mind then that the children of Noah were the elect of God that the Father had chosen in these last days);
And the day shall come that the earth shall rest, but before that day the heavens shall be darkened, and a veil of darkness shall cover the earth; and the heavens shall shake (this is the air and weather above the earth), and also the earth; and great tribulations shall be among the children of men, but my people (the elect of God, even those who are now terrestrial mortals) will I preserve;
And righteousness will I send down out of heaven (this refers to my abundant Spirit and light which we will shed forth upon our faithful, including our revelations. It also includes my corona flame given in abundance to our elect, and you Raphael standing next to each one with your sword of Raphael unsheathed to protect them from Satan with the silver lightning of God the Father); and truth will I send forth out of the earth (this includes the abundant scriptures you possess in your day, even the Book of Mormon and the sealed portion of that book), to bear testimony of mine Only Begotten; his resurrection from the dead; yea, and also the resurrection of all men; and righteousness and truth will I cause to sweep the earth as with a flood (Raphael, this includes all of our scriptures, words of the prophets, and some of your words we have revealed to you), to gather out mine elect from the four quarters of the earth, unto a place which I shall prepare, an Holy City (this is the celestial temple in the New Jerusalem, which will make the entire New Jerusalem holy, and the surrounding area), that my people may gird up their loins (this means to prepare themselves spiritually for that which is to come), and be looking forth for the time of my coming; for there shall be my tabernacle, and it shall be called Zion, a New Jerusalem (Raphael, this city, or the temple of this city, shall first become partially built before Enoch and his city shall return to the earth. You will construct this city even as your Heavenly Father and I will direct you, in every regard. This will then become the center place of Zion, for it will be celestial, even a portal to our celestial orb as you have previously described. Only our chosen elect that Jesus chooses, who are heirs of the Church of the Firstborn will be able to see it with their quickened celestial eyes. Many will see the sign of our covenant above our celestial temple in the rainbow, representing the love of God).
And the Lord said unto Enoch: Then shalt thou and all thy city meet them there (Enoch's group will come, one by one, into our celestial temple to receive the waters of separation ordinance from you and be recorded by Oriphiel in the Lamb's Book of Life), and we will receive them into our bosom, and they shall see us; and we will fall upon their necks, and they shall fall upon our necks, and we will kiss each other (Raphael, this will happen among the elect of your generation and those from Enoch's group. However, the great emotions of this love exchange will occur in the New Jerusalem temple, particularly in the font room when you and Oriphiel admit them finally into the glorious celestial Church of the Firstborn! You will witness that on every brow of these faithful elect will appear a unique gold crown that your Father and I have designed and crafted, just for each one. You now see my crown on my forehead, and the rainbow colors glistening all around. These too will have these same colors bestowed upon them after the waters of separation ordinance that you individually perform for each one. What a time of joy and deep happiness this will be for them and for you, Oriphiel and their loves ones! I will be present in showering my light and love upon each one of our blessed celestial faithful who thus enter into our Church of the Firstborn!);
And there shall be mine abode (mine abode means that all three of us Gods will be there, even Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ and me), and it shall be Zion, which shall come forth out of all the creations which I have made (this means all of our elect children, regardless of when they will have been born on the mortal earth, will be united as one in passing into the Church of the Firstborn and then moving forward together towards their exaltation and eternal lives together); and for the space of a thousand years the earth shall rest." (words in parenthesis were spoken to my mind directly from Heavenly Mother who had come beside me while we watched and heard Jesus speak to Enoch on the western mountaintop).
Heavenly Mother then turned towards me, and Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ joined her! All three were now facing me while I was kneeling before them. I then saw gold crowns on each of their brows, and they were each unique and magnificent! They shone brilliant light and love upon me. I saw a rainbow then behind them, encompassing all three. Heavenly Father was in the middle, Heavenly Mother on his left and Jesus Christ on his right.
The crowns then disappeared, and the rainbow left. Heavenly Father then spoke to me: 'Raphael, when Noah came forth from the ark, we covenanted with him, through our Beloved Son (he looked towards Jesus on his right side), to never again send the worldwide floods to destroy man whom we had created. We then revealed to Noah the rainbow in the clouds and in the rain and mist on the earth. We set this as a token of the covenant we had made with him. Never before had man seen a rainbow in the skies above the earth. We set the rainbow in the skies on the earth to also remind Noah and his posterity of the covenant that we had made with Enoch, even our everlasting covenant. This was the promise that if men should keep all of our commandments, Zion should come upon the earth in our full celestial glory. This covenant will be fulfilled when our elect, that I have chosen and whom Jesus Christ selects to come to you as new candidates for the Church of the Firstborn, come to our celestial temple and you receive them into our celestial church through the waters of separation ordinance, and Oriphiel records their names in the Book of Life. There will be many gushing of tears and deep joy at the conclusion of this ordinance! They will receive their gold crowns then that will momentarily be seen by all in attendance. Your Heavenly Mother will shed forth her abundant love through the sign of the rainbow that all will also see. These chosen ones will then be filled and changed with the love of God, that will be our gift to them forever more!'
All three of my Gods were smiling upon me, and their resplendent light shone through me like I was transfigured and even transparent. I felt such love and peace, such joy and deep contentment!"
Wed, Jan 22, 2025
The past few days, since my revelation on Monday of this week (see my notes dated Jan 21, 2025 in D&C 130:14-15) I have been thinking a lot over the following scripture that Heavenly Mother revealed to me:
Moses 7:62:
"And righteousness will I send down out of heaven; and truth will I send forth out of the earth, to bear testimony of mine Only Begotten; his resurrection from the dead; yea, and also the resurrection of all men; and righteousness and truth will I cause to sweep the earth as with a flood, to gather out mine elect from the four quarters of the earth, unto a place which I shall prepare, an Holy City, that my people may gird up their loins, and be looking forth for the time of my coming; for there shall be my tabernacle, and it shall be called Zion, a New Jerusalem."
I read my entry this morning from 159L3-159L18 found above. I am impressed how Heavenly Mother's comments on this verse fit in so perfectly with her words she revealed to me this week about the golden era and how abundant light and truth would now be poured out upon the faithful during the next four years. I felt so uplifted in re-reading her words in these references again!
I then prayed to know if there was more information from either my Father or Mother that they wanted me to receive. I then felt that Heavenly Father wanted to talk to me. Here are his words that I am typing on my computer as I receive them:
"Raphael, our son, I am here in front of you with your Heavenly Mother. We are still rejoicing in the events of Monday, January 20th that you have recorded in your notes in D&C 130:14-15. You have recorded these correctly in this record.
This morning I would like to speak more to you on the fulfillment of Moses 7:62. This was revealed to Enoch from Jesus Christ, even as you saw occur on the west mountaintop, into the western skies on our celestial orb (see your post 159L8-159L10). We revealed this to you in May 2020, but this week it is starting to be fulfilled in very deed.
There will be additional records that we will have come forth during the next four years that bear testimony of our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ. These will come forth from the earth where those who wrote these records buried them, with a prayer to us to preserve them until the day we would bring them forth. Their collaborating testimonies of Jesus Christ, his life and mission, will be remarkable to those in your day. These records will bear witness of the fulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and other truths that are recorded in scripture, including in your record, the Book of Raphael. It will be very convincing to our elect who will read them. However, to those of the world, Satan will contort their minds and deceive them so that they will discount their messages, even those that have come up out of the ground.
Raphael, you are now standing next to each one of our elect, hidden from them in your replicated celestial being, with your sword of Raphael drawn to protect these from Satan. During this tender stage of conversion and spiritual growth, our elect will grow up like calves in the stall:
Malachi 4:2
"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."
Those who fear my name are my elect whom I have chosen and whom you now guard. The words "healing in his wings" refer to the abundant teachings of truth from Jesus Christ that these will receive in our flood of enlightenment that is now being poured upon the world. The "healing" is a spiritual healing of the elect, giving them a strong conversion to the truth. The "wings" refer to the abundant light and truth that we will cause to be poured out in "righteousness and truth", even to "sweep the earth as with a flood" (see Moses 7:62). This truth will be likened to coming down from heaven in such abundance that Malachi used the words "wings", which depict movement of truth. This light and truth will heal our elect, giving them very strong faith and testimony of Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son, and great hope in their own salvation. They will be willing and prepared to endure all hazards of the days ahead, in order to be counted acceptable to us, their Gods. We will tenderly lead and direct them to safe places, and ultimately to Zion, the pure in heart.
When their instructions are internalized, and their knowledge is sufficient, and the timing is right, we will send forth our army of 144,000 to gather these our elect to the New Jerusalem, the location of the Church of the Firstborn (see D&C 77:11). These our 144,000 servants will go forth in all the world and bring our righteous elect from among the wicked. This will be in a day after these next four years of relative peace and great enlightenment for the righteous elect.
Once most of our elect are gathered to the New Jerusalem, they will "gird up their loins", or be looking forth to the great day of the second coming of Jesus Christ. Many will be gathered in safe places in the New Jerusalem area, awaiting this monumental event. You have correctly recorded in the Book of Raphael about the fulfillment of the Marriage Supper of the Lamb parable that will occur just prior to the arrival of Jesus Christ in the clouds of heaven.
Raphael, your Mother in heaven and I have looked forward to this great day of enlightenment of our elect who live on the mortal earth in these last days. We will orchestrate similar events in the spirit world of the dead, so that all of our children who are righteous who are not yet resurrected, may participated in this great outpouring of truth and righteousness."
My Heavenly Father stopped speaking. I felt so very, very grateful to have recorded his words as he spoke them, and to have been so enlightened myself with his wings of truth from his very person!

Moses 7:61-62
61 And the day shall come that the earth shall rest, but before that day the heavens shall be darkened, and a veil of darkness shall cover the earth; and the heavens shall shake, and also the earth; and great tribulations shall be among the children of men, but my people will I preserve;
62 And righteousness will I send down out of heaven; and truth will I send forth out of the earth, to bear testimony of mine Only Begotten; his resurrection from the dead; yea, and also the resurrection of all men; and righteousness and truth will I cause to sweep the earth as with a flood, to gather out mine elect from the four quarters of the earth, unto a place which I shall prepare, an Holy City, that my people may gird up their loins, and be looking forth for the time of my coming; for there shall be my tabernacle, and it shall be called Zion, a New Jerusalem.
120B6-120B9, from Heavenly Mother: "Moses 7:61-62
"And the day shall come that the earth shall rest, but before that day the heavens shall be darkened, and a veil of darkness shall cover the earth; and the heavens shall shake, and also the earth; and great tribulations shall be among the children of men, but my people will I preserve;
And righteousness will I send down out of heaven; and truth will I send forth out of the earth, to bear testimony of mine Only Begotten; his resurrection from the dead; yea, and also the resurrection of all men; and righteousness and truth will I cause to sweep the earth as with a flood, to gather out mine elect from the four quarters of the earth, unto a place which I shall prepare, an Holy city, that my people may gird up their loins, and be looking forth for the time of my coming; for there shall be my tabernacle, and it shall be called Zion, a New Jerusalem."
'Raphael, R.S. had a couple of questions I would like to address now:
Q1-"Are we supposed to keep a detailed daily journal?"
A1-'When we send down our revelations upon our children, we expect them to write these down so that they can refer to them later and that they may be shared with their family and others of the faithful. These records will be precious to many in a future day."
Q2-"I was pondering about the Refugees of Lucifer in the celestial world after their arrival, and having been taught the great truths and coming to their great awakening. If these refugees were permitted to be birthed during the millennium, along with the other spirit children, would the veil be much thinner for them? Since they traveled from a celestial realm to a terrestrial realm? Our journey is from a celestial realm to a telestial realm. R, wouldn't this group during the millennium make great teachers?"
A2-The veil over our children in your fallen telestial world is heavy and strong. The further into darkness our children come, the stronger is the veil over their unconscious mind. As our children seek to quiet down their lives and come unto us in meditation and prayer, the veil will begin to lift, like it has for you. It is by their individual effort that this happens.
In the millennial day, when the earth is in a terrestrial state of glory, the veil will be much thinner for our children. There will be many more remembrances of their previous life in the celestial world and much more communion with us, their Gods. Angels and messengers will come much more frequently to the faithful in answer to their sincere prayers. The Refugees of Lucifer who come to the earth for their mortal probation will be on an equal status of all the rest of our spirit children who come to earth. They will all come to families, mixed at different times and places, even as we will decide. Most will not be aware of their previous path where they were in subjugation to Lucifer for so long. Salvation is freely offered to all, including the Refugees of Lucifer, once they come to Jesus Christ and side with our great plan of happiness.
In the millennial day, there will be many teachers very filled with the spirit of God. We will pour out truth and righteousness upon the earth in abundance and our children will be sensitive to it and receptive to our counsels. The earth will rest and will receive again her paradisiacal glory as it experienced in the Garden of Eden.'"
141F1-141F14: "I have thought of these scriptures of protection for the righteous:
2 Nephi 30:8-10, 18
"And it shall come to pass that the Lord God shall commence his work among all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people, to bring about the restoration of his people upon the earth.
And with righteousness shall the Lord God judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth. And he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth; and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.
For the time speedily cometh that the Lord God 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.
Wherefore, all things which have been revealed unto the children of men shall at that day be revealed; and Satan shall have power over the hearts of the children of men no more, for a long time. And now, my beloved brethren, I make an end of my sayings."
D&C 97:22-25
"For behold, and lo, vengeance cometh speedily upon the ungodly as the whirlwind; and who shall escape it?
The Lord's scourge shall pass over by night and by day, and the report thereof shall vex all people; yea, it shall not be stayed until the Lord come;
For the indignation of the Lord is kindled against their abominations and all their wicked works.
Nevertheless, Zion shall escape if she observe to do all things whatsoever I have commanded her."
1 Nephi 22:17,19,22,24-25
"Wherefore, he will preserve the righteous by his power, even if it so be that the fulness of his wrath must come, and the righteous be preserved, even unto the destruction of their enemies by fire. Wherefore, the righteous need not fear; for thus saith the prophet, they shall be saved, even if it so be as by fire.
For behold, the righteous shall not perish; for the time surely must come that all they who fight against Zion shall be cut off.
And the righteous need not fear, for they are those who shall not be confounded.
...And the time cometh speedily that the righteous must be led up as calves of the stall, and the Holy One of Israel must reign in dominion, and might, and power, and great glory.
And he gathereth his children from the four quarters of the earth; and he numbereth his sheep, and they know him; and there shall be one fold and one shepherd; and he shall feed his sheep, and in him they shall find pasture."
3 Nephi 22:14-15, 17
"In righteousness shalt thou be established; thou shalt be far from oppression for thou shalt not fear, and from terror for it shall not come near thee.
Behold, they shall surely gather together against thee, not by me; whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.
...No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall revile against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord."
Moses 7:61
"And the day shall come that the earth shall rest, but before that day the heavens shall be darkened, and a veil of darkness shall cover the earth; and the heavens shall shake, and also the earth; and great tribulations shall be among the children of men, but my people will I preserve."
I have also wondered why there is often fire spoken of to protect the righteous prior to the Second Coming?
I feel relieved that God will protect and preserve the terrestrial elect! What a great blessing this will be!
I came this morning to the eastern shore of Lake Beautiful where I had seen the mirror-like surface of the lake on Thursday morning 10/24/2019. I asked for my Heavenly Mother to come. She came immediately beside me, smiling! Her light was not shining, for she looked like a normal person, but I knew her, particularly her eternity eyes.
She spoke to me:
'Raphael, I appear to you this morning with no glory that you see from a normal person. This is how our terrestrial elect will appear to those who are telestial round them, prior to the glorious second coming of Jesus Christ.
However, we will entirely protect our terrestrial elect, even if it so be by fire that will consume the telestial wicked, our terrestrial will be preserved! The fire I speak of will be terrestrial fire at the second coming. At the end of the world, when the earth dies after the millennium, we will also send fire, but that will be celestial fire.'
Heavenly Mother then backed up on the lake and a large cloud came above her. Suddenly, intense fire came down from the cloud! It entirely engulfed her, but she then walked out of the fire upon the surface of the water, back to me.
She spoke: 'Raphael, you have seen fire come out of the cloud and surround me. However, I was not affected within my person or my clothing. We will have permanently transfigured our elect to a terrestrial glory in their mortal bodies by the end of your year 2019. They will have been purified and elevated to withstand the terrestrial fire that will engulf the wicked. They will be preserved by our power over any destructive forces in their telestial world. They will be preserved by our matchless power!
The scriptures that you have recorded this morning in your journal describe how the wicked will perish and the righteous who follow us will be preserved. This is our promise to all our faithful elect!
Some years ago, you fell on a dangerous rockslide in one of your Utah canyons while on a father and sons campout. We sent our angel to protect you and to turn you over and land you on the rocks, thereby avoiding body injury. There will be many instances similar to this where unseen forces will protect our mortal elect. We will also remove them from danger, or shield them by our power, or make them disappear from their enemies-all because we have chosen them to be preserved and led as calves of the stall into our new terrestrial millennial day!
Our righteous need not fear, but give us praise and thanksgiving for our great gift of protection we will extend to them!'"
159K13-159L20: "I received an email from S where he described the covenant of the rainbow that God made with Noah after he came forth out of the ark. I read several times all the scriptures relating to this, in Joseph Smith Translation Genesis 9, in Moses chapter 7 (particularly 7:17-69), and in Revelation chapters 9 and 10.
I came in prayer tonight to a little valley between two tall mountains, in the exceedingly high mountaintop on the celestial orb. I initially faced east, and saw Heavenly Mother descending from my Father to me. She spoke:
'Raphael, our son, come here tomorrow morning when you are fresh and alert, and face us to the east mountain to see the future, and to the west mountain to see the past. We will both come and discuss the covenant of the rainbow and describe how it relates to you and your day.'
I thanked her and said I would be here in the morning. I thanked her for her message. She then went next to Heavenly Father and they were above a cloud and a rainbow. My vision then closed.
Here is the email that I had received from S earlier today
-------
R,
I was taught to study about the covenant of the rainbow during the last 2 days. I did not know what this covenant specifically entailed beforehand. I remembered my mom taught me as a child that the rainbow represents a promise that God made to Noah to not flood the earth again. I didn't know many of the specifics besides having read what is in the Bible previously but not the JST. I found that in the Bible dictionary it gives scriptures to study that were helpful. I had read the verse in Revelations recently after reading chapters 8-10, but I never realized that one angel had a rainbow over his head. Also, I had never focused on JST of Genesis 9 that speaks directly of the covenant God made to Enoch and Noah. I will include these verses at the end of my entries today.
5-10-20 AM
In prayer, I called upon my Heavenly Parents. I sensed I would see both of them. I drank of living waters and felt clean and pure in my heart through Jesus Christ. I next saw both of my Heavenly Parents standing in the air holding hands. They were above the top arc of a rainbow. Heavenly Father spoke, "The rainbow symbolizes a covenant we made with Noah promising to not flood the entire earth again. There are promises recorded in scripture regarding the rainbow in the last days. Read these verses, pondering it's meaning, and return to us in prayer for further insight. Your eldest daughter asked last night if school would resume as normal. It is wise that you do not share too much with her at this time. As events transpire that quickly make drastic changes to society, it will be important to turn your children to us in prayer for comfort and guidance. Enjoy this Mother's Day with your wife and family. We will be by your side."
I thanked my loving Heavenly Parents and closed my prayer.
5-11-20 AM
I read again today from JST of Genesis 9 about the rainbow. I read it twice yesterday in the morning and afternoon as well.
In prayer, I called upon my Heavenly Parents. It took some time to focus for other thoughts came to my mind. I heard, "What do you see?" I quieted my mind and focused. I then saw both my Heavenly Parents standing above the rainbow again, looking downward towards me. Heavenly Mother spoke, " You have read three times the account in Joseph Smith's translation of Genesis 9. We covenanted with Noah and his posterity similar to our covenant with Enoch. Our covenant had two parts including that we would never cleanse the earth of its inhabitants again by flood, and also that when Noah's posterity embraced truth and were righteous, then the Church of the Firstborn of Enoch's city would return to earth to dwell. What do you think of this covenant? I spoke honestly from my heart, "It is hard for me to see how such righteousness could be here on earth for this fulfillment. But I know all your words are truth and will be fulfilled." Heavenly Mother began to weep and Heavenly Father embraced her opposite shoulder with his right arm. I felt her love for her children as she wept. She then spoke, "We taught our children well in heaven to love and serve each other in peace and harmony. They have strayed from our teachings and are full of wickedness and evil intentions. You have been surrounded by this society from your youth and it is all you have experienced. The day will come when such righteousness that existed in the city of Enoch will again be present among our children on earth when they embrace truth. We have more to reveal on this matter through Raphael. Share with him what you have received up to this point and we will expound further on this covenant for all to learn."
I began to weep because I had hope that such righteousness that existed among the city of Enoch would be found on earth again. I closed my prayer and recorded this message. I prayed and confirmed that I accurately recorded this message and the spirit affirmed it was accurately recorded as I received it.
-----
Here are the scriptures I studied:
JST, Genesis 9:21-25. Compare Genesis 9:16-17
God sets the rainbow in heaven as a reminder of His covenant to Enoch and to Noah. In the last days the general assembly of the Church of the Firstborn will join the righteous on earth.
21 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant, which I made unto thy father Enoch; that, when men should keep all my commandments, Zion should again come on the earth, the city of Enoch which I have caught up unto myself.
22 And this is mine everlasting covenant, that when thy posterity shall embrace the truth, and look upward, then shall Zion look downward, and all the heavens shall shake with gladness, and the earth shall tremble with joy;
23 And the general assembly of the church of the firstborn shall come down out of heaven, and possess the earth, and shall have place until the end come. And this is mine everlasting covenant, which I made with thy father Enoch.
24 And the bow shall be in the cloud, and I will establish my covenant unto thee, which I have made between me and thee, for every living creature of all flesh that shall be upon the earth.
25 And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant which I have established between me and thee; for all flesh that shall be upon the earth.

Revelations 10:1
1 And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:

I look forward to hearing your thoughts, Your Friend,

L. R's Personal Journal Entry, May 12, 2020, Tuesday
I came to my private room before my family awoke. I reread my journal entry last night and the scriptures about Noah and Enoch, and the rainbow covenant. I very appreciate S for being in tune to receive the first part of this revelation from Heavenly Mother, as is recorded in his email.
I came to the mountain saddle between the east and west mountaintop. I wanted to clarify myself, so I saw a little snow nearby and ate it. This living water melted in my mouth, high up in this mountaintop, and seemed to clarify my thoughts.
I then went directly to the tree of life at the end of the straight and narrow path. I ate a glowing white fruit and a leaf from that tree. I asked that my food later today would be living food to me, and that the greens I would later eat today would be living greens. I felt those I would later eat would be terrestrial living foods and greens, even as I would later eat in the coming millennial day.
I then came again back to the mountain saddle by the dripping or melting snow. I faced east and knelt on the mountain ground cover. It was clear and sunny. I humbly prayed to receive my Heavenly Parents before me and receive their revelation this morning about the rainbow, and whatever they wanted to share with me.
I then looked up into the eastern sky and saw a white, billowing cloud. I saw a mist of wispy clouds, or watery skies like after a fresh rain. I saw a very bright rainbow arch over the mountaintop, even above the cloud, with its ends going into the cloud. I then saw my very bright Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother on top of the cloud. From my perspective they were standing on top of this beautiful rainbow!
Heavenly Mother left the side of her husband on her right, and seemed to float down to me! The path she took in the sky seemed to sparkle with light behind her also.! She soon was before me, beaming with the brightness of her glory. Her visage was beautiful as I looked upon her. She was smiling broadly, and her eyes were sparkling with joy it seemed. I then saw a golden crown appear on her head, and the reflection of the rainbow behind her glistened upon her crown in the front jewel (I think it was a diamond) that shone beautiful colors on me and the ground round about like a prism!
I also felt her intense love for me and for her children of this eternity shine with her light into my being. This light and love passed through me and filled me, every part of me, with a broad spectrum of happy loving emotions like compassion (violet), gentleness (indigo), charity (blue), kindness (green), service (yellow), cheerfulness (orange) and intense focus (red). I saw all of these rainbow colors as she glistened before me. The emotions came into my mind as I pondered on these beautiful colors and the love they represented. There are seven colors and seven love emotions that shone upon me and through me. These all created deep satisfaction and joy, even to swelling me with eternal bliss and contentment, safety and happiness.
Heavenly Mother then spoke to me: 'Raphael, you have correctly written in your journal that the seven colors of our rainbow, that we have set in the clouds of our sky behind me, represent seven aspects of my intense love for my children of this eternity. These, our offspring, are made in the image of your Heavenly Father and me, and if they prove faithful to our loving promptings, they will eventually possess all aspects of our love that we continually shine forth upon them now. This is the true love of the Gods, and for those who attain our station as a God. Because of our love we so desire to freely share with our children. This brings us elation in being filled with love continually. This is our great emotion that brings us eternal peace, happiness and joy!
Raphael, the rainbow represents our celestial love for each other and our beloved children. We desire all these to possess it too.
When Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son, spoke to Enoch, he spoke of the days you live in, the days of darkness, wickedness and vengeance upon the earth. Turn now to the west, and look upon the western skies above the western mountain, and you will see our Son, Jesus Christ, when he spoke to Enoch on this very mountain, even before Enoch's city was taken up into our celestial orb.'
I then swiveled around on my knees, and looked upon the west mountaintop, into the western skies.
I then saw Jesus Christ in a white robe, and Enoch the prophet standing next to him. The words of Jesus are those found in Moses 7:60-64-
"And the Lord said unto Enoch: As I live, even so will I come in the last days, in the days of wickedness and vengeance, to fulfill the oath which I have made unto you concerning the children of Noah (Heavenly Mother spoke into my mind then that the children of Noah were the elect of God that the Father had chosen in these last days);
And the day shall come that the earth shall rest, but before that day the heavens shall be darkened, and a veil of darkness shall cover the earth; and the heavens shall shake (this is the air and weather above the earth), and also the earth; and great tribulations shall be among the children of men, but my people (the elect of God, even those who are now terrestrial mortals) will I preserve;
And righteousness will I send down out of heaven (this refers to my abundant Spirit and light which we will shed forth upon our faithful, including our revelations. It also includes my corona flame given in abundance to our elect, and you Raphael standing next to each one with your sword of Raphael unsheathed to protect them from Satan with the silver lightning of God the Father); and truth will I send forth out of the earth (this includes the abundant scriptures you possess in your day, even the Book of Mormon and the sealed portion of that book), to bear testimony of mine Only Begotten; his resurrection from the dead; yea, and also the resurrection of all men; and righteousness and truth will I cause to sweep the earth as with a flood (Raphael, this includes all of our scriptures, words of the prophets, and some of your words we have revealed to you), to gather out mine elect from the four quarters of the earth, unto a place which I shall prepare, an Holy City (this is the celestial temple in the New Jerusalem, which will make the entire New Jerusalem holy, and the surrounding area), that my people may gird up their loins (this means to prepare themselves spiritually for that which is to come), and be looking forth for the time of my coming; for there shall be my tabernacle, and it shall be called Zion, a New Jerusalem (Raphael, this city, or the temple of this city, shall first become partially built before Enoch and his city shall return to the earth. You will construct this city even as your Heavenly Father and I will direct you, in every regard. This will then become the center place of Zion, for it will be celestial, even a portal to our celestial orb as you have previously described. Only our chosen elect that Jesus chooses, who are heirs of the Church of the Firstborn will be able to see it with their quickened celestial eyes. Many will see the sign of our covenant above our celestial temple in the rainbow, representing the love of God).
And the Lord said unto Enoch: Then shalt thou and all thy city meet them there (Enoch's group will come, one by one, into our celestial temple to receive the waters of separation ordinance from you and be recorded by Oriphiel in the Lamb's Book of Life), and we will receive them into our bosom, and they shall see us; and we will fall upon their necks, and they shall fall upon our necks, and we will kiss each other (Raphael, this will happen among the elect of your generation and those from Enoch's group. However, the great emotions of this love exchange will occur in the New Jerusalem temple, particularly in the font room when you and Oriphiel admit them finally into the glorious celestial Church of the Firstborn! You will witness that on every brow of these faithful elect will appear a unique gold crown that your Father and I have designed and crafted, just for each one. You now see my crown on my forehead, and the rainbow colors glistening all around. These too will have these same colors bestowed upon them after the waters of separation ordinance that you individually perform for each one. What a time of joy and deep happiness this will be for them and for you, Oriphiel and their loves ones! I will be present in showering my light and love upon each one of our blessed celestial faithful who thus enter into our Church of the Firstborn!);
And there shall be mine abode (mine abode means that all three of us Gods will be there, even Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ and me), and it shall be Zion, which shall come forth out of all the creations which I have made (this means all of our elect children, regardless of when they will have been born on the mortal earth, will be united as one in passing into the Church of the Firstborn and then moving forward together towards their exaltation and eternal lives together); and for the space of a thousand years the earth shall rest." (words in parenthesis were spoken to my mind directly from Heavenly Mother who had come beside me while we watched and heard Jesus speak to Enoch on the western mountaintop).
Heavenly Mother then turned towards me, and Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ joined her! All three were now facing me while I was kneeling before them. I then saw gold crowns on each of their brows, and they were each unique and magnificent! They shone brilliant light and love upon me. I saw a rainbow then behind them, encompassing all three. Heavenly Father was in the middle, Heavenly Mother on his left and Jesus Christ on his right.
The crowns then disappeared, and the rainbow left. Heavenly Father then spoke to me: 'Raphael, when Noah came forth from the ark, we covenanted with him, through our Beloved Son (he looked towards Jesus on his right side), to never again send the worldwide floods to destroy man whom we had created. We then revealed to Noah the rainbow in the clouds and in the rain and mist on the earth. We set this as a token of the covenant we had made with him. Never before had man seen a rainbow in the skies above the earth. We set the rainbow in the skies on the earth to also remind Noah and his posterity of the covenant that we had made with Enoch, even our everlasting covenant. This was the promise that if men should keep all of our commandments, Zion should come upon the earth in our full celestial glory. This covenant will be fulfilled when our elect, that I have chosen and whom Jesus Christ selects to come to you as new candidates for the Church of the Firstborn, come to our celestial temple and you receive them into our celestial church through the waters of separation ordinance, and Oriphiel records their names in the Book of Life. There will be many gushing of tears and deep joy at the conclusion of this ordinance! They will receive their gold crowns then that will momentarily be seen by all in attendance. Your Heavenly Mother will shed forth her abundant love through the sign of the rainbow that all will also see. These chosen ones will then be filled and changed with the love of God, that will be our gift to them forever more!'
All three of my Gods were smiling upon me, and their resplendent light shone through me like I was transfigured and even transparent. I felt such love and peace, such joy and deep contentment!
My vision then ended, and I heard the voice of my Heavenly Mother in my mind while I concluded writing all of this in my journal: 'Raphael, you have correctly recorded your vision with us in heaven. Make this the final entry for your post 159. Title the post "The Rainbow of My Covenant".
I thanked my Heavenly Mother for this amazing revelation and vision! I have felt very much enwrapped in a heavenly vision, and have written steadily and fast for the past nearly two hours or so since I started my prayer."

Righteous will be preserved notwithstanding darkness and latter-day tribulations.

Moses 7:62-64
62 And righteousness will I send down out of heaven; and truth will I send forth out of the earth, to bear testimony of mine Only Begotten; his resurrection from the dead; yea, and also the resurrection of all men; and righteousness and truth will I cause to sweep the earth as with a flood, to gather out mine elect from the four quarters of the earth, unto a place which I shall prepare, an Holy City, that my people may gird up their loins, and be looking forth for the time of my coming; for there shall be my tabernacle, and it shall be called Zion, a New Jerusalem.
63 And the Lord said unto Enoch: Then shalt thou and all thy city meet them there, and we will receive them into our bosom, and they shall see us; and we will fall upon their necks, and they shall fall upon our necks, and we will kiss each other;
64 And there shall be mine abode, and it shall be Zion, which shall come forth out of all the creations which I have made; and for the space of a thousand years the earth shall rest.
136E11-136E15, from Heavenly Mother: "M.A. had a question that she asked you yesterday that I would like to answer.
"Question: When was the Jerusalem of old taken up into the atmosphere?
Will Enoch's landmass not be returned until the end of the millennium? I was thinking it came back at the beginning of the millennium."
We have explained part of the landmass movement between the celestial orb and the earth in your post 68E6-68E11. The Jerusalem of old was on the earth during the early days of the life of Abram, but was taken up off the earth with Melchizedek, the great high priest. This landmass, including the city he and his people built, was originally named Salem, the city of peace. It became known as Jerusalem when it was taken. It came to the northern part of the city of Enoch on our celestial orb. The people merged with those of Enoch's group, and were all translated and had the same mission. Enoch became the leader of all this entire group. When Abraham offered Isaac as a sacrifice, and found a lamb caught in the thicket, he offered this sacrifice where the city of Jerusalem had been.
When the city of Enoch and Jerusalem of old come back to the earth, these landmasses will return as one to where the Gulf of Mexico is located. This will be at the beginning of the millennium as described in Moses 7:62-64.
Moses 7:62-64
"...to gather out mine elect from the four quarters of the earth, unto a place which I shall prepare, an Holy City (the New Jerusalem), that my people may gird up their loins, and be looking forth for the time of my coming (Jesus Christ); for there shall be my tabernacle, and it shall be called Zion, a New Jerusalem.
And the Lord said unto Enoch: Then shalt thou and all thy city meet them there and we will receive them into our bosom, and they shall see us; and we will fall upon their necks, and they shall fall upon our necks, and we will kiss each other;
And there shall be mine abode, and it shall be Zion, which shall come forth out of all the creations which I have made (from the celestial orb where it is now temporarily located); and for the space of a thousand years the earth shall rest." (comments added in parentheses by Heavenly Mother)
The landmass that came to the earth with Lucifer and his hosts who rebelled and were cast out of heaven, will return to the celestial orb when the earth dies at the end of the millennium. It will fill the large valley that it originally came from to the west of Lake Beautiful, making it a more level piece of ground. This was the area where the city of Enoch and the Jerusalem of Old now are located.'"

And Enoch and all his people walked with God, and he dwelt in the midst of Zion; and it came to pass that Zion was not, for God received it up into his own bosom; and from thence went forth the saying, Zion is Fled.

Yesterday I was watching certain religious Mormon Tabernacle Choir videos, and came across a perfomance of "I'll Walk With God" (see https://dai.ly/x3523q7). I then remembered that I was in a vocal solo competition in the state of Oregon when I was about 16 years old, and I sang this same song! I was had been baptized just a few months earlier in June, 1967. I was talking voice lessons from the mother of a friend in my ward. I love the music and the lyrics of this song! I have thought over it again and again since I rediscovered it. I believe this is exactly what I have done in my own life, a desire to walk with God!
I have received great revelations from my three Gods, Heavenly Father, Heavenly Mother and Jesus Christ. I have seen them and talked face to face with them. I have walked with them, receiving their pleasing words. I feel overwhelmed by these experiences I have received from their hands, much like Enoch and his people must have felt with they too walked with God.

Moses 8:17-25
17 And the Lord said unto Noah: My Spirit shall not always strive with man, for he shall know that all flesh shall die; yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years; and if men do not repent, I will send in the floods upon them.
18 And in those days there were giants on the earth, and they sought Noah to take away his life; but the Lord was with Noah, and the power of the Lord was upon him.
19 And the Lord ordained Noah after his own order, and commanded him that he should go forth and declare his Gospel unto the children of men, even as it was given unto Enoch.
20 And it came to pass that Noah called upon the children of men that they should repent; but they hearkened not unto his words;
21 And also, after that they had heard him, they came up before him, saying: Behold, we are the sons of God; have we not taken unto ourselves the daughters of men? And are we not eating and drinking, and marrying and giving in marriage? And our wives bear unto us children, and the same are mighty men, which are like unto men of old, men of great renown. And they hearkened not unto the words of Noah.
22 And God saw that the wickedness of men had become great in the earth; and every man was lifted up in the imagination of the thoughts of his heart, being only evil continually.
23 And it came to pass that Noah continued his preaching unto the people, saying: Hearken, and give heed unto my words;
24 Believe and repent of your sins and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, even as our fathers, and ye shall receive the Holy Ghost, that ye may have all things made manifest; and if ye do not this, the floods will come in upon you; nevertheless they hearkened not.
25 And it repented Noah, and his heart was pained that the Lord had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at the heart.

15B12: "We have no information about when Noah was named Gabriel, only from the 'Guide to the Scriptures' under Noah, on ChurchofJesusChrist.org: "The prophet Joseph Smith taught that Noah is the angel Gabriel and stands next to Adam in holding the keys of salvation." During mortality men tried to take his life, but the power of God saved him (Moses 8:18). He came as a ministering angel to announce the births of John the Baptist and Jesus Christ (HC 3:386, also Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith)."

Moses 8:22,26
22 And God saw that the wickedness of men had become great in the earth; and every man was lifted up in the imagination of the thoughts of his heart, being only evil continually.
26 And the Lord said: I will destroy man whom I have created, from the face of the earth, both man and beast, and the creeping things, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth Noah that I have created them, and that I have made them; and he hath called upon me; for they have sought his life.
162H8-162H11, from Heavenly Father: "The people who are not my elect in your land have become wicked, like unto those before the great flood in Noah's day:
Moses 8:22
"And God saw that the wickedness of men had become great in the earth; and every man was lifted up in the imagination of the thoughts of his heart, being only evil continually."
In Noah's day, all the people who remained on the earth at the time of the flood were destroyed by water."Both man and beast, and the creeping things, and the fowls of the air" were destroyed in Noah's day (see Moses 8:26).
However, in your day, only the wicked, our own children, will be destroyed, and not the elect or the animals or plants that exist in your world. The wicked people who remain will be destroyed by the fire of the presence of Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son, when he comes in glory to the earth. However the plants and animals will be changed in that day, and be elevated to a terrestrial level. They will abide the day's fire and be brought into the changed terrestrial earth."

Abraham 1:21-27
21 Now this king of Egypt was a descendant from the loins of Ham, and was a partaker of the blood of the Canaanites by birth.
22 From this descent sprang all the Egyptians, and thus the blood of the Canaanites was preserved in the land.
23 The land of Egypt being first discovered by a woman, who was the daughter of Ham, and the daughter of Egyptus, which in the Chaldean signifies Egypt, which signifies that which is forbidden;
24 When this woman discovered the land it was under water, who afterward settled her sons in it; and thus, from Ham, sprang that race which preserved the curse in the land.
25 Now the first government of Egypt was established by Pharaoh, the eldest son of Egyptus, the daughter of Ham, and it was after the manner of the government of Ham, which was patriarchal.
26 Pharaoh, being a righteous man, established his kingdom and judged his people wisely and justly all his days, seeking earnestly to imitate that order established by the fathers in the first generations, in the days of the first patriarchal reign, even in the reign of Adam, and also of Noah, his father, who blessed him with the blessings of the earth, and with the blessings of wisdom, but cursed him as pertaining to the Priesthood.
27 Now, Pharaoh being of that lineage by which he could not have the right of Priesthood, notwithstanding the Pharaohs would fain claim it from Noah, through Ham, therefore my father was led away by their idolatry;

Abraham 2:15
15 And I took Sarai, whom I took to wife when I was in Ur, in Chaldea, and Lot, my brotherJs son, and all our substance that we had gathered, and the souls that we had won in Haran, and came forth in the way to the land of Canaan, and dwelt in tents as we came on our way;
138H7-138H13, from Heavenly Mother: "'Raphael, sometimes our daughters cannot work side by side with their husbands like Eve did in the fields or like your wife does with you. Often there are little ones that consume her time while her husband labors in his employment to bring in the money to sustain them and their young family. Both our sons and daughters labor and work hard to sustain themselves and their loved ones. Sometimes they remain single or married without being blessed with children yet. In these instances, both may work outside the home for their individually or joint needs if they desire. We expect men and women to find joy in their labors, whatever they choose. Dependence upon others or the state is a lesser option that doesn't give the satisfaction like working for oneself brings.
You have hired both men and women to help you in your move. These have been great employees to you, and they are providing from your work and pay you give them. Some are youthful and some have older children who attend school, thereby freeing up their mother so she can work part time. We have blessed and prospered you with those you have chosen as hired help.
Abraham of old left Haran at sixty-two years old with his wife Sarah, Lot his brother's son, and "the souls that (they) had won in Haran". They came in a large caravan move to the land of Canaan and dwelt in tents along the way. (see Abraham 2:15). These souls that they had won were free hired servants that they employed who were willing to come with Abraham and his group.
We prospered Abraham in all his work. There was a severe famine in the land he left, and it was time for them to leave. We direct all of our sons and daughters who pray to us as do you and Abraham, as to what we may direct them in their lives. We counsel and prosper those who pay heed to our words.
There are so many varied situations in life that our children find themselves in, throughout the ages of the earth when they live.
In the beginning we cursed the land for the sake of Adam and Eve, so that they and their posterity would be propelled into a telestial world. At the end of the six thousand years of our children living in this fallen world, we will cleanse the world from sin and bless the earth for the sake of those elect millennial sons and daughters who follow, and for those who transition into the terrestrial world.
In this world of the millennium, there will still be need of hard work and productivity to sustain oneself. However, the earth will bring forth in much greater abundance and it will be easier to obtain more. There will be among our children a Zion society, where there will be no poor among them. The aggressive governments and nations will disappear, and our people will live in peaceful settlements. We will bless and prosper all who provide for their own wants and needs, and there will be enough for them to share of their abundance with those around them. They will share freely because of the love of God that is abundant in the land!""

Abraham 3:2-3
2 And I saw the stars, that they were very great, and that one of them was nearest unto the throne of God; and there were many great ones which were near unto it;
3 And the Lord said unto me: These are the governing ones; and the name of the great one is Kolob, because it is near unto me, for I am the Lord thy God: I have set this one to govern all those which belong to the same order as that upon which thou standest.
71G3-71G16: "I opened my prayer. I expressed happiness to be in their loving presence. I thanked them for the abundant love and happiness that overflowed from their beings. I then asked if either had a message for me this beautiful spring-like morning? Heavenly Father asked that I write the words he would speak:
'Raphael, I want to share with you how we planned and created this celestial home where we now live.
We had been given an inheritance on our own earth by our Heavenly Parents. All those from our eternity who attained the station of a God, of a married and sealed couple in eternity, also were given part of our own celestial earth as our first inheritance.
We bore our first spirit children there, and realized we needed a larger place to raise our growing family. We knew well our own celestial home from where we had come forth as spirits from our own Heavenly Parents. We visited there still frequently. We thought to pattern our own new celestial home after this one from where we had come. We were given assistance from our Heavenly Parents, and some of those also from our own eternity that had progressed with us to Godhood.
We first spiritually created our own celestial kingdom and world. We decided where different areas would be: our temple home, our fountain of living water, the three rivers coming from the fountain, Lake Beautiful, your Heavenly Mother's upper and lower gardens, and all the rest of our land areas. We determined how the water would flow from the very large lake to all other places. We dreamed and planned. We visited other celestial worlds also, to see how others of the Gods had created their own worlds.
We decided our celestial orb would be divided into three major areas which we designated as the wilderness area (where we are now), the premortal habitation area, and an area just for us for our own creative projects and to house large plants and animals. This latter area also is where the ocean you recently visited is located.
Your Mother and I planned all of these places spiritually before we physically created them. We also planned what minerals and metals we would create deep in our celestial world so I could craft such items as your sword of Raphael. We would have a very abundant supply of resources.
We then had everything planned in detail. We knew we would have eternity after eternity on our celestial orb. We knew, too, this would become the center of our new galaxy, eventually swelling and growing as it is today. This center place had to be massive enough and bright enough to control our galactic system.
We first created multiple mega stars in a cluster to act as the center for our new galaxy. These had the strength to hold even distant stars and planets in their gravitational pull. Once these were in place, we created our celestial home near these powerful stars (see Abraham 3:2-3). We set up a rotation of 1000 years being one day for our governing star of Kolob. We then placed our celestial creation near Kolob, having the same rotation and movement. Kolob was to become the governing star as to rotation, but was not our celestial abode. Our celestial orb was nigh to Kolob, as the vision my Beloved Son showed to Abraham described in Abraham chapter 3.
We first created our celestial world spiritually, to every detail, with spirit matter. All of the underground piping, tunnels etc. were first in place before there was any physical creation. We perfected our temple, our lands, our gardens and meadows to a point where we were very satisfied. We knew once we created this physically, we would then use this celestial area for future eternities, again and again.
We then created our world physically. This brought structure and substance to our spiritual creation. The greater work was to spiritually create our world.
W\then perfected our celestial home in every way. We were feeling constrained back on our own celestial earth in being crowded, but we waited until all was in order and perfected for our new home.
We then announced to our spirit children that we would all be moving to a new and larger celestial world. They would have ample room to grow and live and explore the new wonders of this, our new home. We then moved all together and came to our temple, our new home! It was a joyous day! We truly felt like we had finally come home.
Raphael, thus we had created our celestial home where every eternity of our billions of children each has lived and progressed. We planned well, for our world is sufficiently large enough for all.
As our eternities end, we create new worlds for these to dwell on-some terrestrial and some telestial. These we have placed in rotation around Kolob, our time-governing star, the center of our galaxy. Those who become Gods as we are, are given an initial inheritance of their own earth where they dwelled in mortality. Each of these celestialized earths are brought near our governing star, Kolob, and set in a close rotation around the center of our galaxy, so they would be near to us, each one an initial inheritance for our exalted children.
Our works continue on, never to end! Our greatest glory is to see our children accept our gentle and loving ways. For those who follow us, we will lead them to the same wonderful life that we share together in eternity.'"

Abraham 3:4
4 And the Lord said unto me, by the Urim and Thummim, that Kolob was after the manner of the Lord, according to its times and seasons in the revolutions thereof; that one revolution was a day unto the Lord, after his manner of reckoning, it being one thousand years according to the time appointed unto that whereon thou standest. This is the reckoning of the LordJs time, according to the reckoning of Kolob.
Wed, Jan 24, 2024
The earth's temporal existence in this phase when man was placed on the earth is 7,000 years (see D&C 77:6). These are equated to seven days after the manner of the Lord, or seven days in celestial time. We also have been told that there will be "time no longer" (D&C 88:110), as proclaimed by the seventh angel Michael, at the beginning of the millennium. This means that mortal telestial time will cease, but mortal terrestrial time will continue for a thousand terrestrial years, or one day in celestial time.
See 135G9 where Heavenly Father states the following: "Heavenly Father took the sickle and spoke again: 'Raphael, I will not use this sickle until the end of the world, when the millennial day is coming to a close. In that day, I will harvest all of my elect from the four quarters of the earth and gather them to the New Jerusalem, my safe garner. When I send fire again to cleanse the earth from the wicked, the New Jerusalem area will rise up above the earth while the earth burns and dies. This will then end the seven thousand years of earth's mortal time (see D&C 77:6). My elect from the millennium who are yet alive in mortality will be safe in the New Jerusalem."
There will be no more mortal time once the seven thousand years of earth's temporal existence is ended. We will then be back to celestial time which is much longer in days, months and years.
As I understand, in every year of celestial time, I will re-pollinate the tree of knowledge of good and evil. For each of the twelve months the tree will have a new fruit, as stated in my notes on Revelation 22:2: "After you transplant it [the tree of knowledge of good and evil], you will be able to hand pollinate the blossoms from the male tree of knowledge of good and evil that you saw last night with your Heavenly Father [on the celestial orb] . The tree is a slow growing tree that, in its glory in the celestial world, produces new fruit every month from the one yearly pollination that you will continue to do in eternity. This action of a yearly hand pollination will link these two worlds together forever, a remembrance of the origin of this tree of knowledge of good and evil."
I believe that each eternity will have many celestial years of existence for the couple gods. The tree of knowledge of good and evil will continually rotate its fruit, producing new monthly celestial fruit.
See my note in Revelation 22:2: '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.'

Abraham 3:9-10
9 And thus there shall be the reckoning of the time of one planet above another, until thou come nigh unto Kolob, which Kolob is after the reckoning of the LordJs time; which Kolob is set nigh unto the throne of God, to govern all those planets which belong to the same order as that upon which thou standest.
10 And it is given unto thee to know the set time of all the stars that are set to give light, until thou come near unto the throne of God.
71G9-71G10: "We then had everything planned in detail. We knew we would have eternity after eternity on our celestial orb. We knew, too, this would become the center of our new galaxy, eventually swelling and growing as it is today. This center place had to be massive enough and bright enough to control our galactic system.

Abraham 3:17
17 Now, if there be two things, one above the other, and the moon be above the earth, then it may be that a planet or a star may exist above it; and there is nothing that the Lord thy God shall take in his heart to do but what he will do it.
105E1-105E11: "When I think of this, our Heavenly Parents love delighting us, their children. They find great enjoyment in blessing their children. I have thought of my experience in prayer last night with both of them-I felt so accepted, loved, and delighted to be with them! If they want to give special gifts to any of their children, they surely will do it.
Abraham 3:17
". . . and there is nothing that the Lord thy God shall take in his heart to do but what he will do it."
My wife asked our son A. to take a loaf of bread down to our neighbors last night. She knew that our widowed neighbor would be delighted. A. agreed to do it, but grudgingly. After he delivered the loaf of home-baked bread, he told me that service always make him happy. I asked if he was glad he took the loaf of bread and he was very pleased-his attitude shifted. This is what service does. I also feel that looking for opportunities to serve and delight others brings great satisfaction. It certainly can change a normal or grumpy day into one with sunshine for the soul!
Anyway, I came to the celestial orb today to the same bench next to the Great Assembly Hall. I knelt on the ground to the west of the bench and faced the hall. I asked for my Heavenly Parents to come. I then waited and watched.
Heavenly Mother appeared at the eastern doors of the Great Assembly Hall. She looked at me, kneeling a way away at the bench. I looked up and thought she wanted me next to her. I immediately beamed myself right before her on the steps of the door entrance on my knees. I looked up into her pleased face. She smiled at me and touched my shoulder.
She spoke:
'Raphael, last night your Father and I came with you to the field north of the forest behind you, to where the Refugees of Lucifer live. We walked among them together, visiting their dwellings and walking in disguise among them. We didn't want them to create a big fanfare for our visit. We do this sometimes, or come without being seen, so we may see our people in their normal actions and impromptu.
We found a very loving and considerate people who cared for each other and served one another. This has been such a remarkable transformation! They were once all subjugated to Lucifer, and did the most terrible acts upon their fellowman. However, they have now fully come unto God, been redeemed by their Savior, and love to help one another. They delight to help in any way they can those around them. They don't wait to be assigned, but truly minister to the needs of those who have any emotional, mental or spiritual want. These will be privileged to all come forth in the great millennial day for their mortal experience. They will come in a day when Satan and his still evil hosts are removed by you to the bottomless pit.
Your Heavenly Father and I also recently came to a meeting held by their newly called leadership in the Great Assembly Hall. We were in the top front corner where we often observe, undetected and unseen. You had been invited by them to sit on the stand but you did not speak. They honor you for speaking to them each so boldly about coming to Jesus Christ, their Redeemer, even when they were subjugated still to Lucifer. This was a life-changing moment for them.
Their trauma is mostly passed, and they are a delightsome people! They are akin to the Nephite people after the visit of Jesus Christ among them:
4 Nephi 1:10,13
"And now, behold, it came to pass that the people of Nephi did wax strong, and did multiply exceedingly fast, and became an exceedingly fair and delightsome people.
And it came to pass that there was no contention among all the people, in all the land; but there were mighty miracles wrought among the disciples of Jesus."
The path to becoming our chosen people, as these refugees have reached, is a path similar to all the righteous. They need to drop their own selfish interests, and humbly come to our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ. He will graciously accept them with open and compassionate arms! As they fully repent, he will cleanse and redeem their very souls. They then become a chosen people, a delightsome people of God. Oh, we love our children who selflessly serve each other and love one another! This attitude and behavior is so foreign to Lucifer that he cannot hold onto them or have any power over them. The power that Jesus uses is love and acceptance. This is so disarming and life-changing to all of our faithful!'
Heavenly Mother then looked up, over the beautiful lake to our east, even Lake Beautiful. She was looking into the future somehow. I turned and looked, and she reached over to touch my eyes. I then saw all the humble and faithful, which were valiant in the testimony of Jesus, who had changed and become even as he is. It seemed they were all in a throng over the shimmering lake, exalted and standing together in their eternal glory. The entire lake was filled with myriads of the righteous!
I was like I had seen a glimpse of what John the Revelator saw in Revelation 5:11-13:
"And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;
Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.
And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.""
112E3-112E123, from Heavenly Father: "'Raphael, we have spoken to you several times this week explaining about our highest celestial realm or sphere. We continuously exit and reenter into our highest celestial sphere and it is so very natural for us to do. We also do everything naturally like using our portals, shining forth our light and love matter and replicating ourselves as much as the need requires. All of our activity comes naturally to us, and it is all controlled by our thoughts. Whatever we think to do that is what happens.
Abraham 3:17
". . . and there is nothing that the Lord thy God shall take in his heart to do but what he will do it."
Heavenly Father continued: 'This scripture applies to all of our actions and our intentions. We have learned how to do all things, controlled by our intelligent mind. My core intelligence completely fills my being and is the source of all my thoughts, which produce all of my emotions, mental activity and movement. This way we act is also true for all of our creations and for our children.
When you learn a new skill, you practice it until it becomes habitual and easy. Your mind creates mental pathways to be able to more easily repeat those actions. This is how it is for us to appear or disappear before our children, for we control all by our mind, our thoughts, and intentions. We have full agency and ability to do whatever we wish or what thing comes into our heart to do.
I am continually counseling with your Heavenly Mother in all of my actions. We plan together what we desire to do in our multiple creations and with our children. We are always sharing and acting in various ways to bless and enhance our children and watch and care for them in their own progression.
We know all things, how to do all things and how all things work. There is not anything in our galaxy that we are not aware of , for we comprehend all. When we visit with other gods of other galaxies, or with our first parent Gods on their original galaxy, we share our experiences, our new creations, our activities and how things have recently happened in our worlds. We then continue to learn and expand in our understanding. There is never a time when we are not learning and becoming more knowledgeable.
We who are the Gods are the only eternal beings that continue to grow and expand in our intelligence and knowledge. Those children who attain a lesser glory have a cap to their growth, but we never do. Their joys and happiness have limitations, but ours never do. Oh we love doing what we do!'
I looked into my Father's eternity eyes. They were so deep and penetrating and filled with light and deep joy. I saw that he was so very capable and sure of himself. I was feeling so lowly and humble in his presence.
He spoke: 'Raphael, it is natural and right that you should be humble and reverent in my presence and in the presence of your Heavenly Mother and Jesus Christ, your Redeemer. Even when you become a God, with power and capability as we have, you will still be humble and reverent and respectful in our presence. Your own children who attain our same station as a God will also revere you and so on with their posterity who also becomes gods. We each add to the honor and glory of those who have gone before. We all share continual increase and glory, eternal happiness and progression. We continually are filled with love and light which flows to us from our first parent Gods. The manner of the gods is only comprehended by those who receive this glory themselves.'
We had arrived back near the bench, having walked around the lake. Heavenly Father stopped and faced me. He placed both of his hands on my shoulders and looked me directly in the eyes. He saw deep into my soul!
He spoke again: 'Raphael, your Heavenly Mother and I are pleased with your progress and growth. You are on track in your skills and abilities and we are very pleased with your obedience. We will continue to guide you, one day at a time, as you learn and comprehend our ways. We are forming you into our mighty archangel that you need to become to shoulder the great work before you.'
He continued: 'We are also guiding and helping our other angels and servants. They each have very important roles and missions that we have designed for them, to help us in our last days work. We will have our activity largely done through them on behalf of the elect and in transitioning into a better world in the millennium. Each angel and heavenly servant would do well to learn directly from us, who are their Gods. We will be their help and guide in every time of need. Oh, we love them all so much!'"
137E37-137E38, from Heavenly Mother: "'Raphael, your Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ and I have withheld the existence of our inner earth form mankind except to those who have lived here. There are a few reports that have been published, but most people have dismissed these as idle words that were not true.
Raphael, there is not anything that we think about but what we will do it (see Abraham 3:17). This includes creating our hollow earth for our own purposes, and by our magnificent power of creation!"

Abraham 3:18-19
18 Howbeit that he made the greater star; as, also, if there be two spirits, and one shall be more intelligent than the other, yet these two spirits, notwithstanding one is more intelligent than the other, have no beginning; they existed before, they shall have no end, they shall exist after, for they are gnolaum, or eternal.
19 And the Lord said unto me: These two facts do exist, that there are two spirits, one being more intelligent than the other; there shall be another more intelligent than they; I am the Lord thy God, I am more intelligent than they all.
50F1-50F26: "During the day, I felt I would receive instruction tonight on how the Gods all began! When I was able to be alone during my evening prayer, I asked that question:
Q- How did the human race of God begin?
A- From Heavenly Mother:
(Note: I have added a few scriptures that I found later, to Heavenly Mother's initial words. I also adjusted somewhat my initial journal entry in prayer, so that the words would be more understandable.
Later, November 2017: I just became aware that the information given by Heavenly Mother below wasn't in the exact order it occurred, but rather expressed the process the first Gods took in creating themselves and their creations. See my post #61 for more information, near the end of the post-R)
'Raphael, the mystery of Godliness, how great it is!
(See D&C 19:10 "For, behold, the mystery of godliness, how great is it!")
There was a time when the intelligences, that fill the immensity of space, were first organized. This was initiated by two intelligences who were more intelligent than all of the other intelligences. These two very astute and brilliant intelligences, organized themselves into the first man and first woman.
(See Abraham 3:18-19-". . . if there be two spirits, and one shall be more intelligent than the other, yet these two spirits, notwithstanding one is more intelligent than the other, have no beginning; they existed before, they shall have no end, they shall exist after, for they are gnolaum, or eternal. And the Lord said unto me: These two facts do exist, that there are two spirits, one being more intelligent than the other; there shall be another more intelligent than they; I am the Lord thy God, I am more intelligent than they all.").
They had discovered the key to combining elemental intelligence and matter into a living intelligence with agency and existence.
(See D&C 93:30 "All truth is independent in that sphere in which God has placed it, to act for itself, as all intelligence also; otherwise there is no existence".)
These two intelligences had the support of all the other intelligences, because of their goodness and their superior intelligence, or knowledge that they had gained up to that point. This intelligence, or the light of truth, is the basic building element upon which all things are formed and from which they are created.
(See D&C 93:29 "Man was also in the beginning with God. Intelligence, or the light of truth, was not created or made, neither indeed can be.").
This elemental intelligence was combined with matter to create life, using the key to creation that these two intelligences had discovered.
Once these two intelligences became organized as the first man and woman, they gained the support of the other elemental intelligences in their new creation as living beings. The design and creation of man came from these two most intelligent beings. The others supported them in their skill and ability to organize their own two elemental intelligences and matter into themselves, as living intelligent beings. Man and woman were the first creation, in the spirit form, from this raw elemental intelligence and matter. They called themselves God.
Unlike the doctrine of Satan, which states that the lowest form of life was somehow instantaneously created in the beginning, in reality, the very most complex form of life was first created by the most brilliant of the intelligences.
These two human spirits then created a way for themselves to multiply offspring from the same abundant, unorganized intelligence and matter from which they themselves were created. They began multiplying, and having spirit children who looked just like them.
Once these two intelligent spirit Godly beings found the secret of creating, or organizing life, they then counseled together, and designed other forms of life. This is what we now know as plant and animal life, to support their plan for creating a peaceful and happy world. These other forms also were created or organized from the same elemental intelligence and matter, and were all created in the spirit realm. These two Gods designed in each life form, a way also for these to be reproduced independent of themselves.
They had created, therefore, a world in the spirit realm, which was a refined state of matter and life. However, they soon realized there was another state of creation, in a less-refined state of existence. This they named the physical state.
Now the first man and woman God realized that they could create life in a spirit state and a physical state. The first man and woman God then decided to be recreated in this physical state also. They became the first man and first woman in the physical state, and the first life in the physical realm of creation too.
They counseled together, and then created the 1st estate of man to be in the spirit state, and then the 2nd estate of man to be in the physical state. They devised a plan for progression in these two states of man for their spirit children. The plan culminated in the spirit and physical states of man to be eternally joined together, which they called the resurrection. They too became the first resurrected man and resurrected woman, and received what is now called a fulness of joy.
(See D&C 138:17 "Their sleeping dust was to be restored unto its perfect frame, bone to his bone, and the sinews and the flesh upon them, the spirit and the body to be united never again to be divided, that they might receive a fulness of joy." and D&C 93:33 "For man is spirit. The elements are eternal, and spirit and element, inseparably connected, receive a fulness of joy").
After having gone through these first two estates of man themselves, and then being resurrected themselves, they devised the entire progression and testing plan for their posterity, who were still in their spirit state.
The plan of progression required a dwelling place on which their offspring would dwell during their 1st estate, and an earth for them to dwell on during their 2nd estate. Then they chose two of their most favored offspring spirits to become the first physical man and woman on this new physical earth. They devised that this man and woman would also be able to have offspring on this earth that they, their parent creators, had previously bore as spirits. They watched carefully, and made sure all was going according to their plan.
They had also previously created laws for them to justly govern, and for the interaction of all of their creations. They created an environment for their children to choose between morally right or wrong choices, in accordance with these laws. They realized that each of their children would need to be able to choose for themselves in being obedient to their laws. This then created a need for a Messiah of their own posterity, who would be born as a mortal child. He would have extra Godly powers, and be required to live a completely obedient life to their laws, then suffer, bleed and die on the physical earth for all those who would break those laws. His suffering would allow those who repent and then obey the laws of God, to be forgiven, based on his mercy. All the unassigned intelligences in the universe agreed with their plan, because it was just and fair, according to their law of justice.
At this point, they already had much spirit posterity, and realized some would follow their plan more than others, and that there needed to be gradations of eternal reward. Some would be resurrected to a celestial reward like themselves, some to a terrestrial reward, and some to a telestial reward. These three divisions seemed the most appropriate and fair.
There was also some of their offspring who would rebel against their plan. These had to be accommodated, and were given a final kingdom of no glory, for that is what they chose and deserved.
Thus, the first male and female human beings, named God, created a plan and system of procreation and progression. They found the greatest happiness in their resurrected, celestial state, was when they cared for and blessed their posterity to become like them in eternity, in a forever state.
This is how the Gods were created, and the first creation was established at the center of what they called the universe. As eternities passed, this universe expanded with worlds created by the Gods. The offspring of these first Gods followed the same pattern of creation that they were taught by their first parents. There is much more, but basically this is how the Gods began!
Your Heavenly Father and I have followed in the same footsteps of our very first parents who created this entire plan of salvation for their offspring. We too have been given the knowledge of the key of creation, for we are of the family of the Gods. You are our offspring, Raphael, as well as all mankind who inhabit your earth at this time, and who have ever lived on it or will live on it since the days of Adam and Eve. Our plan of happiness has been refined, and since proven very effective over multiple times, by our many ancestor Gods, by ourselves, and by our posterity who are Gods. We are so extremely happy in this life that we have chosen, to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of our beloved children-as much as each of them choose to accept. It is a flawless and wonderful method in the progression of our children!'"

Abraham 3:25-26
26 And they who keep their first estate shall be added upon; and they who keep not their first estate shall not have glory in the same kingdom with those who keep their first estate; and they who keep their second estate shall have glory added upon their heads for ever and ever.
27 And the Lord said: Whom shall I send? And one answered like unto the Son of Man: Here am I, send me. And another answered and said: Here am I, send me. And the Lord said: I will send the first.
91C4-91C14, from Heavenly Father: "This morning I would like to continue recounting the events of our first parent Gods when they were still planning how they would create two periods of probation for their future children.
The first man and the first woman Gods had designed their own bodies to have the ability to create their own offspring. They did this by their superior intellect and they did it because of their selfless desires to bless other intelligences around them to be able to become like them. They neither had desires to control other intelligences, or to in any way subjugate them. They developed a great desire to share and tenderly bless the other intelligences that they felt would one day somehow become like them.
This attitude and feeling they called the love of God. They wanted only those who could ultimately become like them to be imbued with this same love they possessed. They realized that at some future time there might be some intelligences that would be clothed in a body of their same form, but would have no feelings of love for the other intelligences. They could imagine some who might try to take advantage of another and want to control them somehow.
This entire new view they considered made them quite uncomfortable. They therefore planned into the states of progress of their future offspring ways to test their children's true desires to either love or control other intelligences. They devised two states of probation: a spirit only state in a celestial environment, or highest place where they themselves would be visible and present; and a physical and spirit state where they would not be visible and where it would be a lesser, more coarse environment of lesser light. These would be the two probation states of their future children.
If their children passed the first probationary state, they could then proceed to the second estate of testing. If they successfully navigated through the second phase of testing, then they would qualify to become even like themselves, with all of their capacity of creation and joy.
See Abraham 3:25-26
"And we will prove them herewith, to see if they will do all things whatsoever the Lord their God shall command them.
And they who keep their first estate shall be added upon; and they who keep not their first estate shall not have glory in the same kingdom with those who keep their first estate; and they who keep that second estate shall have glory added upon their heads for ever and ever."
Once these two probationary estates of their offspring were devised, they then felt the need to create a system of justice, or right and wrong. They wanted all things and actions they themselves did to be good, or inherently fair that could be sensed as good by every intelligence in the vast expanse of space. They set up standards of justice, of order and basic rules of conduct they would follow by themselves. They reasoned how could they act one way and expect their offspring to act any different. They set a standard of godly conduct that they would follow and teach their future offspring. This was all based on their Godly love that they keenly felt for their fellow intelligences.
They decided that they would judge the behavior of their future offspring in their probationary estates based on their rules of justice, of right and wrong. They then wanted all their actions in the estates of their offspring to be very just and fair, so that none would be able to question their intentions or conduct. They realized that if their children made mistakes, there would need to be a way to forgive and repair these so they could keep progressing. It wouldn't be fair if they were forgiven of mistakes or sin without justice needing to be met. Justice required a punishment of their sin before they could move onto more light and progress.
12. During this consideration, they decided to choose a choice intelligence that they were assured would have great love and would strictly follow them. They would have this intelligence be like the first male god, who had attributes of strength of body, protection and love.
They called this intelligence the Redeemer, for he would suffer for the sins or mistakes of other weaker intelligences, and thus the justice of God would be satisfied. This Redeemer would be perfect and not have himself fallen from the demands of justice. Therefore, if he forgave the one who sinned, and also suffered for their sins, then they could together be made as though no sin had ever happened. This would allow the sinner to continue to progress and be tested in the probationary states, and ultimately come back to the first Gods in their celestial presence. It would be fair to everyone that they could then come back clean and pure, since the demands of justice had been met.
All of the work and suffering of the Redeemer would be based on the love of god that the first Gods had in abundance.
These were all the plans and designs of our first parent Gods, Raphael, even before they chose to have their own offspring. You can see that they wanted to fully establish a system that would be foolproof and meet their desires."
91C17-91C24, from Heavenly Mother: "Heavenly Mother then spoke:
'Raphael, our first parent Gods also chose a Redeemer son for each of their eternities. For their first eternity, their Firstborn Son in the spirit was the Redeemer of that very first eternity of all the gods. He was obedient and fulfilled everything that our first parent Gods asked him to do. He suffered during his mortal life and died for the sins and weaknesses of all his mortal brothers and sisters who came or would come to his earth.'
I then felt I was somehow taken in a vision with my three Gods next to me, looking on this chosen Redeemer for the very first eternity!
We saw the birth of this first Redeemer as an infant spirit. We saw him next as a grown spirit accepting his call as the chosen Christ. We saw him later on his earth, in his own mortal experience, ministering to the people. I saw that he suffered and died for all of their sins and weaknesses. We saw he was resurrected. I saw judgment and great tears of joy for the righteous. This entire vision included short highlights of his life.
I finally saw that this first Redeemer went on to receive his own kingdom of glory with his chosen spouse, and they became a couple god. I saw that they are still having joy in their creations and posterity, just like all the rest of the gods.
I saw that the pattern set by this first Redeemer and our first parent Gods was followed by all the subsequent gods. The vision then closed and my sacrament meeting on earth continued with the speakers. I then lost track of all that I had seen in heaven.
In the evening- After I returned home, I just finished transcribing my pocket journal from church today. I have thought about this vision experience I had, in seeing the first Redeemer of all, and little glimpses of his life in that first eternity. I was amazed that such great little visions were opened to me! I saw the various snapshots of his life in fairly rapid succession, all during the sacrament. I marvel how I could receive all that I saw in so short a time. I feel so very grateful for these wonderful and meaningful views of eternity! My perspective has entirely changed about eternity and the beginning of man.
Tonight I came to the top of the switchback path where I had last been with my Heavenly Father, Heavenly Mother and Jesus Christ, my personal Redeemer. I knelt on the path and asked my Heavenly Parents to come to me.
My Heavenly Mother came to me from the path, coming from the domed room! I saw her come to me and then she placed her hands on my shoulders. She smiled at me and spoke:
'Raphael, you have had a unique visionary experience with us, your Gods, today at the sacrament. We have showed you events of the very first eternity where the life of the first god's chosen Redeemer of that eternity was shown to you. This was real, Raphael! You saw what we wanted you to see in your unconscious mind. You have correctly written about what you perceived in your conscious mind.
We have shown you in the past few days our first parent Gods creating light matter for the first time. We showed you how they planned the progression of their children to one day become like them. We showed you today their first child, their chosen Redeemer of all their children that would come forth on their mortal earth for that eternity. These are great truths never before revealed to man on the earth, Raphael, excepting to our own chosen Redeemer, Jesus Christ.
Once our first parent Gods completed their first eternity, they fulfilled their plan to create worlds of various glories, places of reward, for their children. They had divided the various degrees of glory into three divisions. We have continued this same practice in all of our creations and eternities. We call these celestial, terrestrial and telestial glories.
There was a Satan and his followers also in that first eternity. All of these received no kingdom of glory, but were banished forever as single separate intelligences in darkness, just like we continue to do now.
The first Gods then chose to start a new second eternity like the first. There were little changes from the first eternity, for they had thoroughly planned out in detail all of this before taking any action and it all happened as they planned. Thus had the gods started the family of the gods from which we have descended. This is the same pattern we continue to do!'"
109F13-109F19: "Heavenly Mother came to me, appearing as a light until she got brighter and brighter over the water. She immediately spoke to me: 'Raphael, this morning your Heavenly Father answered questions about the great flood and the dividing of the continents. Tonight I wish to answer your question from M.S.'s latest podcast, #23.
Q-"Do all God's children have to progress through a third estate, even a terrestrial estate towards godhood, like M.S. claims in his podcast #23, while speaking of 1 Nephi 22?"
'Raphael, our scriptures describe a first and second estate in the progression of our children.'
Abraham 3:26 "And they who keep their first estate shall be added upon; and they who keep not their first estate shall not have glory in the same kingdom with those who keep their first estate; and they who keep their second estate shall have glory added upon their heads for ever and ever."
'The first estate is the pre-mortal life when our children lived with us on our celestial orb as spirits. The second estate is the earthly mortal estate of man where they gain a body of flesh and bones. It doesn't matter whether these children come to a telestial earth, during its first six thousand years of its temporal existence, or during the millennium, the last thousand years in a terrestrial state.
Our children only come once to earth for their mortal probation, and if they come to the earth in its telestial state, they don't need to return to the earth in the millennium for another experience that they may need. All of the faithful who are the elect of God will come to the celestial New Jerusalem temple for their final and binding temple ordinances. There will be many who will have lived on the telestial earth and were resurrected to a celestial glory. These all will come to you and the holy angels at the New Jerusalem temple, but they will not be required to have a third estate in a terrestrial earth.
Raphael, we have commissioned you as our third archangel and the one who will establish the Church of the Firstborn on the earth. You have the stewardship to declare true doctrine and to correct any false ideas or misconceptions that may arise among our people. You will do this by writing or declaring our words, even as your Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, or I, give them to you. We have established you as the head of the Church of the Firstborn, until he whose right it is will come and reign as King of Kings, and Lord of Lords in that church, even Jesus Christ. Until that time, you will reveal many new truths never before revealed to our children on the earth, and many never ever revealed to man.'
I thanked my Heavenly Mother who stood in great glory before me! Her light was radiant and reflected off the water before me. I knew she spoke the truth. I also felt so humbled to have received her word, and so privileged to have been in her presence tonight. I bowed my head and spoke: 'My beloved Heavenly Mother, I have recorded your words in my personal journal. Are my words I have written sufficiently clear and correct to share them in my next web post?'
Heavenly Mother spoke: 'Raphael, they are correct and true, as you have written them. Any of my children may humbly pray to the Father and me and we will reveal the truth of your words to them by my power, even by the power of the Holy Ghost.' Heavenly Mother then smiled. 'I love you, Raphael. Continue to stand strong and speak our words of truth to the world, now in secret and hidden but one day to be revealed upon the housetops to all people. (see Mormon 5:8). We will verify all your words you write that we have spoken to you."
119A22-119A24, from Heavenly Father: "The most important and critical probationary experience for our children was in their pre-mortal life in the celestial world. In this first estate, they either followed Lucifer and were cast out for rebellion, or they followed Jehovah, our Beloved Son.
The second important probationary experience is their mortal life in a fallen telestial world. Here they choose what they really wanted and desired to do, without seeing us and acting on faith. The third and final probationary state, the spirit world of the dead, is an extension of the mortal state of man where they may choose what they want, with limited views and faith.
Abraham 3:26-"And they who keep their first estate shall be added upon, and they who keep not their first estate shall not have glory in the same kingdom with those who keep their first estate, and they who keep their second estate shall have glory added upon their heads for ever and ever."'"
134B3-134B8, from Heavenly Father: "He spoke: 'Raphael, your Heavenly Mother and I observed carefully our children in the fallen telestial mortal earth where you live. We have devised this fallen physical world in which they live to see or perceive what they choose without our presence. We are often next to them, on the other sides of three veils. They don't perceive that we are nearby.
We have divided up the categories of our children into three divisions, into the telestial, terrestrial and celestial. We see how they respond to our promptings, and watch their actions. The types of behavior of each division type is given in D&C 76, when multiple visions of these our children were revealed to Joseph Smith and SIdney Rigdon in 1832. These series of visions were given to them in the spirit, for by the spirit are hidden things brought to light. (See D&C 76:7-10).
Your Heavenly Mother and I have followed the same pattern as established by our first parent Gods who established the divisions of the type of their own children. These categories are for those who choose to follow their Great Redeemer as pre-mortal spirits, and thereby kept their first estate.
Abraham 3:26-"And they who keep their first estate (the pre-mortal life with us their Heavenly Parents on this celestial orb) shall be added upon (this means that these obedient spirits who accepted Jehovah would be allowed to come to the telestial physical world and gain a physical body and enter into their second estate); and they who keep not their first estate (this refers to Lucifer and the spirits that followed him in rebellion against their Heavenly Parents and our chosen Redeemer) shall not have glory in the same kingdom with those who keep their first estate (this glory comes when our spirit children receive their own beautiful physical bodies. This makes them more capable and powerful than Lucifer and his fallen spirits who don't have the glory of a physical body); and they who keep their second estate shall have glory added upon their heads forever and ever. (These are those who prove to us and themselves that they are our celestial elect. They will continue to be led by us back into our presence, and become couple Gods in eternity!) (comments added by Heavenly Father).
Each category of our children, whether telestial, terrestrial, or celestial, have laws and behavior we accept in our children for their entry into these kingdoms. We judge our children by what they do, how they act in their first and second estates. Our faithful elect hear our voice, the voice of our spirit in both estates, and then prove by their actions that they follow us above other voices and lure of the culture and environment they may be in.
Raphael, you and Oriphiel will receive our celestial natured children who will have overcome the world of the telestial or terrestrial environment, and risen to a celestial nature. There are laws and entry requirement for the celestial to qualify. The most evident is their obedience to our gospel standards of love and acceptance of all God's children. You will see this kindness, gentleness, acceptance and charity-depicting their love they received first from us their Heavenly Parents, and then repeated in their own lives. This love can be felt in their presence and seen in their eyes. You will get to recognize this quality of our faithful celestial children, for all will enter into our Church of the Firstborn. Our holy angels, who administer to them in the New Jerusalem temple, will also observe every one of these faithful, and likewise will see who the celestial-natured are like. Oh, we honor and love our celestial children! These will all become like us-for this glory that we give them in eternity, this godly life, is the very purpose of every eternity! In all the process of progression they go through, in both first and second estates, the end result is the eternal glory of our beloved children, in their many worlds of glory. Our celestial are the crowning jewel of all our creations! They become even as we are!'"
138J15-138J17, from Heavenly Father: "Raphael, for those who come unto us, their Gods in humble and meaningful prayer, we will open up to them. We will guide them in these troubled times in every time of decision, need and want. In this process, we will test and try them to see if they will do all we command or inspire them, through our still small voice.
Abraham 3:25-"And we will prove them herewith, to see if they will do all things whatsoever the Lord their God shall command them."
It is through hardship and difficult changes that our chosen elect will be purified. They will seek us like never before, and exercise greater faith in us than ever before in their lives. In turn, we will bless, succor and protect our own who come unto us.'"

Abraham 4:1
1 And then the Lord said: Let us go down. And they went down at the beginning, and they, that is the Gods, organized and formed the heavens and the earth.
2 And the earth, after it was formed, was empty and desolate, because they had not formed anything but the earth; and darkness reigned upon the face of the deep, and the Spirit of the Gods was brooding upon the face of the waters.
50G25-50G31, from Heavenly Father: "You have asked about the earth, and how it was made, and how it was inhabited and prepared for man.
The earth was created spiritually before it was created naturally, or physically. She was created next to our celestial orb, in the spirit. She was born in water, a spirit water birth, and was created from an elemental intelligence and matter, both of which were unorganized until we created her. Mankind, our spirit children, and all plants and animals, were created during this time in heaven also, in their spirit, premortal state.
The first physical creation was that of the earth, as explained in Abraham 4:1-2-
"And then the Lord said: Let us go down. And they went down at the beginning, and they, that is the Gods, organized and formed the heavens and the earth.
And the earth, after it was formed, was empty and desolate, because they had not formed anything but the earth; and darkness reigned upon the face of the deep, and the Spirit of the Gods was brooding upon the face of the waters."
The earth was physically created in the telestial sphere, in the current position she is now in, no longer next to our celestial home. The earth was without form and void. When the physical land was birthed from the physical water, it was void of rich mineral and soil deposits that were necessary to sustain man.
In these days of physical creation of the earth, we created a primeval telestial state of the earth, with abundant plant life and large animals. These covered the earth and ultimately created rich deposits of fertile land and minerals in the surface of the earth. Then we allowed all of these to die off, preparatory to sanctifying the earth, or making its surface a terrestrial environment. This record is recorded in the rocks strata of the earth. We then sanctified the earth for this next creation phase. She would become a terrestrial earth on her surface.
At this next time of creation, we brought seeds from resurrected plants, and planted these in our terrestrial earth, which had been prepared. We then brought resurrected animals you are familiar with, who bore terrestrial, immortal offspring to populate the earth. These resurrected animals departed, leaving their offspring.
Finally we came and bore Adam and Eve, as our own offspring, as babies, into this paradisiacal state of the earth. These too were immortal, for they could not die in this terrestrial state. Our two children grew to maturity, to a man and a woman.
Prior to this time, and before the sanctification of mother earth to the terrestrial state, Lucifer and his hosts were cast down to this telestial earth from heaven. They were no longer in our presence.
However, once Adam and Eve reached their mature status, we gave them their full agency. Satan then came among them, tempting them. When Adam and Eve transgressed our commandment, to not eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, they fell from our presence and became the first flesh on earth, or mortal man. Soon the rest of creation also became mortal, and the earth also fell from its sanctified, terrestrial state, to a state again in the telestial realms. This is the time that the 7,000 years of earths temporal existence began."
91D2-91D12, from Heavenly Father: "He then spoke to me:
'Raphael, I wish to continue showing you the pattern of the gods that was set by our first Gods. Once they had made light and planned how they were going to do all things, they then chose to create their home in heaven. It was the first orb or planet they had created, for before that moment there were no stars, planets, or any heavenly orbs.
They followed the sequence of creation as recorded in your scriptures as described in the Book of Abraham chapters 4-5.
Abraham 4:1
"And then the Lord said: Let us go down. And they went down at the beginning, and they, that is the Gods, organized and formed the heavens and the earth."
Raphael, the first Gods created the heavens, which consisted of their first celestial orb on which they lived as celestial resurrected beings. They created this before they begat offspring, for they wanted a place first to bring forth their children. This was a very large orb, similar in size to our own celestial creation or orb. They created it first spiritually so that it did not yet have any physical matter, but spirit matter. This was more refined matter.
They then created the spirit plants and animals on this celestial orb, following the sequence in the scriptures. At the end of the spirit creation, when all was prepared, they created their own offspring. Their first child was to be the male Redeemer of the subsequent children they would bear in that eternity. These children grew up from their infant state to fully-grown spirit sons and daughters of these, our first Gods. They were all on a spirit heaven at that time, for everything had been created spiritually and none had physical bodies except for our first parent Gods who were resurrected with spirit and physical bodies.
Once they had birthed all of their children for that first eternity, our first parent Gods announced their plans to create an earth. They explained the details of their plan to test their children to see who would be obedient to them in their fallen state, on a physical earth. They wanted their faithful children to become like them, gods in eternity. They announced their chosen Redeemer who would have a critical role to suffer for the sins and weaknesses of all the rest of their children. There were some who dissented and were angry. Their leader became the Satan of that first eternity.
Our first parents then created an earth where their children could dwell. Their earth was created exactly in the same pattern as the earth upon which you live, Raphael. It was created spiritually before physically.
There was a point that Satan was cast out of heaven for rebellion, along with those who followed him and his ways. They were cast into the spirit earth, out of the presence of the first Gods and their other children.
The sequence of creating the first man and woman on that earth followed the same pattern and method as occurred on your own earth, Raphael. This earth was created first spiritually, and then naturally or physically to a telestial then a terrestrial state, even before man was placed on its surface. Our first celestial parent Gods came to this physical earth and bore their first physical children, their Adam and Eve of that eternity. They grew up as children until fully grown physically on that first earth. Satan had been previously cast to that earth and was then allowed to tempt the man and the woman. They fell by succumbing to the temptations of the devil, and earth also fell from its terrestrial state to its fallen telestial state. All of this followed the same pattern that we used in creating man on your own earth.
All of this while the celestial heaven was only in a spirit state and had not yet become physically created. There were, however, a physical earth, moon and a sun, along with a few planets for the solar system.
The first heaven wasn't physically created until their first Redeemer was resurrected, having lived a sinless life on the fallen earth. When he was resurrected, the first Gods then created the physical heavens for the first time. This then became the abode for the first Gods and their first Redeemer, plus those who were resurrected at the same time as the first Redeemer. Even the first heavenly orb was resurrected into celestial glory by virtue of the atonement of the first Redeemer. All creations of our first Gods were resurrected by the virtue and atonement of their first Redeemer, except for themselves.
The first earth continued from that time to be a telestial body until the days of the millennium where Satan was limited so he could not tempt mankind and the earth became a terrestrial body. At the end of the millennium, the first earth died and was resurrected by the power of the first Redeemer, so that the demands of justice could all be satisfied, not only for the children of God but all of the creations of God, including the earth and the heavens.
The first earth then came near the abode of God, the first celestial orb, and it remains there even today. Your Heavenly Mother and I have chosen to follow this same pattern and sequence in the creation of our own heavenly orb and the multiple earths we have created since our own first earth we created. Our celestial heavenly orb was at first created by us in a spirit state and then became resurrected after our own first Redeemer was resurrected. It has remained in that state since then as a glorious celestial heavenly orb.'"

Abraham 5:4-5
4 And the Gods came down and formed these the generations of the heavens and of the earth, when they were formed in the day that the Gods formed the earth and the heavens,
5 According to all that which they had said concerning every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew; for the Gods had not caused it to rain upon the earth when they counseled to do them, and had not formed a man to till the ground.
100G10-100G23: "Heavenly Father spoke to me:
'Raphael, your Heavenly Mother shared with you details of the physical birth of your Mother Earth. This mystery has never been revealed to man and was reserved to come forth in these last days when all things are to be revealed. We created the earth in the beginning through our Beloved Son, Immanuel, early in the pre-mortal phase of our own family of spirit children.
The story of the creation in Abraham chapters 4-5 states that the Gods created the heavens and the earth. The Gods consisted of your Heavenly Mother, our Son Immanuel (soon to be a God when he was to be named Jehovah), and me, your Heavenly Father. There were seven times or periods that we created the earth, both in a spirit state and then in a physical state. The two creation stories in your scriptures (Abraham Chapters 4-5 and Moses Chapter 2) speak of this division of both the spirit creation and the physical creation. We patterned the days of creation in both the spirit creation and the physical creation to be the same. The spirit creation of the earth is more clearly recorded in the Abraham account and the physical creation is more clearly record in the Moses account. The spirit creation was done on the spirit earth and on our celestial orb. When the seventh time was concluded in the spirit creation we, the Gods and creators, had formed all the generations of the heaven and the earth.
Abraham 5:4-5 (Heavenly Father's comments in parenthesis)-
"And the Gods came down (from the celestial orb) and formed these the generations of the heavens (all the atmosphere and birds that fly, and all that is above the earth) and of the earth, when they were formed in the day that the Gods formed the earth and the heavens (in its spirit state).
According to all that which they had said concerning every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew (this was the spirit creation, for all the generations of every plant and animal and our own children had been created in this pre-mortal state prior to coming to the physical earth for their mortal experience); for the Gods had not caused it to rain upon the earth when they counseled to do them, (or create them) and had not formed a man to till the ground (all men and women were created first spiritually before the first man Adam came to till the earth, in the physical creation of man)."
Now I will return to the first day of the physical creation:
Moses 2:2
"And the earth was without form, and void; and I caused darkness to come up upon the face of the deep; and my Spirit moved upon the face of the water; for I am God."
The above description followed the molten earth after it cooled. The earth at that time was crusted over, and was without form and void. There was not yet atmosphere or water on its surface. We three Gods (including Immanuel who was to be a God soon), then created the water. We took again elemental matter and brought the spirit water that we had previously created, and placed the matter on the spirit water. We followed the same procedure as we did in the physical creation of the earth in creating the physical water. The scripture above states that the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the water, for the water completely covered the physical earth's crust that had cooled.
The earth was thus in her current solar system, in her set times and rotations, and she was immersed in water. The sun shone upon the earth at different times as it rotated between day and night. This ended the first day of the physical creation of the earth.
In the second day or time of the physical creation, we divided the water. We brought elemental matter and brought the spirit atmosphere to the earth. We added the matter to the spirit atmosphere and created physical atmosphere. The atmosphere then became more heated over the regions near the equator than over the water at the poles from the heating of the sun, and weather patterns and ocean currents. This is the meaning of the great waters under the firmament (oceans, lakes) from the waters above the firmament (water vapor in the clouds and precipitation that falls on the earth and the large bodies of water).
The firmament was the physical atmosphere which we called heaven, for it was above the physical waters and earth. The waters were now divided, the greater part remained in the ocean and the lesser part evaporated into the atmosphere.
Here now is the scriptural account of the second day of the physical creation on the earth:
Moses 2:6-8
"And again, I, God, said: Let there be a firmament (atmosphere) in the midst of the water (the water in the ocean and the water in the atmosphere that had evaporated), and it was so, even as I spake; and I said: Let it divide the waters from the waters (waters in the oceans and waters in the clouds in the atmosphere); and it was done;
And I, God, made the firmament (atmosphere) and divided the waters, yea, the great waters under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament, and it was so even as I spake.
And I, God, called the firmament Heaven (the atmosphere or the sky above the large waters); and the evening and the morning were the second day."
At the end of the second day the earth was still fully immersed in the ocean waters, and the atmosphere and a smaller portion of the waters as clouds were above the ocean waters. There was not yet dry land.
On the third day of creation we commanded the earth to rise up above the ocean waters to cause dry land to appear. At this primeval day, there was one large land mass that appeared with the ocean waters receding to a smaller deeper ocean. There were many lakes on the land, rivers and streams. There were mountains, plains and all sorts of topography on the dry land.
Moses 2:9-10
"And I, God, said: Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together into one place, and it was so; and I, God, said: Let there be dry land, and it was so.
And I, God, called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters, called I the Sea; and I, God, saw that all things which I had made were good."
This was the state of the earth before plants were introduced on the surface of the earth. There was rocky ground for it had recently been hardened as it cooled, and been immersed in the water. There was no vegetation yet on the earth or in the waters. The only living entities were Mother Earth, the water, and the atmosphere."

28 And they shall hear of wars, and rumors of wars.
29 Behold I speak for mine electJs sake; for nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
30 And again, because iniquity shall abound, the love of men shall wax cold; but he that shall not be overcome, the same shall be saved.
31 And again, this Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world, for a witness unto all nations, and then shall the end come, or the destruction of the wicked;

33 And immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
199E5-199E8, from Heavenly Father: "Raphael, in all of these tribulations, we will send to our chosen elect our holy angels and heavenly servants to help guide them to safety and to peace, even to Zion, we will protect our own.
We purposefully won't reveal the times of these physical attacks. Following the EMP, there will also be many more foreign troops coming upon your land who will soon attempt to control the people and fully overturn your central and state governments. Many of your country's leaders are accomplices in this coming war, and will not have any plans to rally the military in response to the attack. Following the EMP there will also be local bombings and destruction of your areas where retaliation might be made, such as military bases and missile sites.
JST Matthew 1:28-29
"And they shall hear of wars, and rumors of wars.
Behold, I speak for mine elect's sake; for nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places."
Your Heavenly Mother spoke recently to S wherein she said that following the New Jerusalem temple dedication, "great changes in the telestial world will soon follow" (see S's email above named "Crowning Jewel" below). She was referring to these great changes in your land coming as a result of the EMP attack.'"
199D11, from S entitled "Crowning Jewel": "7/6/21 AM
In prayer, I felt to call upon Heavenly Mother. I prayed for my children, wife and myself to become more loving and close to the spirit in preparation for Zion.
I came to Heavenly Mother's beautiful gardens on her celestial orb. I admired the beautiful flowers before me. Heavenly Mother appeared standing next to me. I felt great peace in her presence. She spoke to me: 'You were impressed by our Spirit to search your own entries and those from Raphael regarding the arrival of the Northern tribes of Israel. We previously told Raphael that they would come after July 18, 2021. July 18, 2021 is the day the celestial temple will be dedicated. This is the crowning jewel of our great work to be performed during the millennium. The ordinances and ordinations performed therein will bless our children throughout all future eternities. The City of Enoch was a Zion society, but they have long waited for this celestial temple to be built and to receive the ordinances soon to be performed within its walls. All of our faithful children have steadily looked forward to these blessings administered in this celestial temple on earth.
The Northern tribes will pray for deliverance on the day July 18, 2021 and it will coincide with the temple dedication. They will then arrive a few miles from the New Jerusalem through transportation the following day, July 19, 2021. Their remembrance of this deliverance will coincide with the deliverance of all our children who will one day receive the ordinances performed in this celestial temple now near completion under Raphael's supervision and our direction. Their prompt arrival after the dedication is needful to prepare this land to receive our faithful elect who must flee Babylon. When the temple dedication is complete, great changes in the telestial world will soon follow.
The greatest work, of all the works performed, will be done in this celestial temple. There is no greater work than this. Share this message with Raphael so he may share it with the small email group for the time is now meet that these things be made known. '
I then closed my prayer in Jesus' name as this scene closed to my view."
184C3-184C6, from Heavenly Father: "He spoke: 'Raphael, the red sky on our celestial orb will remain a dominant and continual sign of the distress in your mortal world.
You live in the days of great tribulations spoken by Jesus Christ:
Joseph Smith Matthew 1:28-31
"And they shall hear of wars, and rumors of war.
Behold I speak for mine elect's sake; for nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there shall be famines, and pestilences and earthquakes, in divers places.
And again, because iniquity shall abound, the love of men shall wax cold; but he that shall not be overcome, the same shall be saved."
Raphael, our elect need to be strong and faithful to the end. They will need to endure the buffetings for a season so that we may do our work on the wicked. We will remain with our righteous elect in every time of trouble. (see D&C 3:8).'"

Joseph Smith Matthew 1:42-48
42 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;
43 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be.
44 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;
45 Two shall be grinding at the mill, the one shall be taken, and the other left;
46 And what I say unto one, I say unto all men; watch, therefore, for you know not at what hour your Lord doth come.
47 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.
48 Therefore be ye also ready, for in such an hour as ye think not, the Son of Man cometh.
198D22-198D25, from Heavenly Father: "Raphael, the coming of the Son of Man will come in different ways, at different times, for our elect. This timing includes coming to Zion and leaving behind loved ones in the telestial world. For our elect who are thus called to come to Zion, their departure will usually be quietly done, while loved ones are left behind.
Our elect hear our voice and respond to our call. To our elect, it will be as the coming of the Son of Man at the time of their departure.
The Christian churches in your land call the scripture in Matthew 24:40-41 and Luke 17:34-36 a justification for what they call the rapture. They believe that they will suddenly at one time all be taken, and some left behind. However, this is not how this prophecy will be fulfilled, but it will be done quietly as our call to Zion, the New Jerusalem goes out by our Spirit to our faithful elect. They will depart, all at different times, over a several year period. They will enter into the physical terrestrial realm at some point and make their way to the New Jerusalem, and the neighboring Zion communities.
When our Beloved Son comes in glory in his second coming to the earth, the final mortal elect remnant in the telestial world will be caught up to meet him. However, a much larger group of our mortal elect will by then be in the terrestrial world, and will be caught up to meet him in the clouds of heaven.'"

Joseph Smith History 1:15
15 After I had retired to the place where I had previously designed to go, having looked around me, and finding myself alone, I kneeled down and began to offer up the desires of my heart to God. I had scarcely done so, when immediately I was seized upon by some power which entirely overcame me, and had such an astonishing influence over me as to bind my tongue so that I could not speak. Thick darkness gathered around me, and it seemed to me for a time as if I were doomed to sudden destruction.
128B2-128B7: "S.A. had asked me a question while typing up my entry last Monday, 7-8-2019: "I wondered why Joseph encountered such opposition from Satan when he had his vision, and your experience, of equal impact to you, was met without such great opposition? It seems like Satan knew of Joseph Smith's mission, how was this so?" I kept this thought in my mind during my morning prayer today.
I went to Joseph Smith History and read this in JS History 1:15 "...and finding myself alone, I kneeled down and began to offer up the desires of my heart to God. I had scarcely done so, when immediately I was seized upon by some power which entirely overcame me, and had such an astonishing influence over me as to bind my tongue so that I could not speak. Thick darkness gathered around me, and it seemed to me for a time as if I were doomed to sudden destruction." Joseph then exerted all of his powers to call upon God and was soon delivered.
I knelt by the fountain of living water facing south so that I could see the temple in the near distance. I asked for one or both of my Heavenly Parents to come to me.
Heavenly Mother came to me, from the temple doors, wavering in the air to me until she was on my right side! She was very beautiful and so filled with light. She immediately spoke:
'Raphael, I will answer S.A.'s question. When Lucifer and his hosts were cast out of heaven for rebellion, you and others removed them by the power of the Son of God, even Jehovah, with your flaming powerful swords. After your birth in mortality, you had not yet received your sword of Raphael in the flesh until recently, for it was to be given to you on May 13th, 2016 (see your post 57E11 and post 16A4-16A15). During the time you received your sword of Raphael in your energy class you held on that date, Lucifer and all of his evil hosts attacked you and your entire class. You were successful in scattering them, using your sword of Raphael. This attack was a much greater attack on you than that given by Lucifer in desperation upon the young boy Joseph Smith in the spring of 1820.
Raphael, also remember the time that you took your son A. to an energy healer in Salt Lake City, and afterwards you had unknowingly received a very powerful evil spirit from her? When you came to understand that two evil spirits (one very powerful and another one not so powerful) you received were in you, you extracted them and removed both of them to the distant prison orb. These were the first evil spirits you took there. Subsequently you have taken tens of thousands to this prison orb. The first time you took these evil spirits to this distant orb, you didn't use you sword of Raphael, but your innate sense of your gifts and callings to keep Satan and his hosts in check. You had also done this similar removal during your pre-mortal life as an archangel of God, including removing the evil spirit afflicting the daughter of Tobias (see your post 16BA3). You have this gift and power to remove Satan or his hosts as we direct you. We have since given you your angled scarlet red sash, depicting our power to remove Satan (see your post 60E12). Both this sash and your sword of Raphael represent our power and authority we give to you over the powers of the evil ones, even Satan and his minions.
Now, back to S.A.'s question: Raphael, Lucifer knows you well, and your powers we have given to you to have power over him. He has therefore carefully orchestrated attacks to destroy you, and will continue to do so. He seeks to destroy and harm not only you, but also your loved ones in your family. However, we will protect your own, and also deliver you out of his grasp, for he has no power to fulfill his sinister plans in stopping neither you nor our great work. You have received much greater attacks from Satan than even received by Joseph Smith, mostly in the spiritual unseen realms. Satan rages now, more than ever, for he knows his time is short before you lock him and his evil hosts up in the bottomless pit, after the second coming of Jesus Christ.'"

Joseph Smith History 1:16-17
16 But, exerting all my powers to call upon God to deliver me out of the power of this enemy which had seized upon me, and at the very moment when I was ready to sink into despair and abandon myself to destruction, not to an imaginary ruin, but to the power of some actual being from the unseen world, who had such marvelous power as I had never before felt in any being, just at this moment of great alarm, I saw a pillar of light exactly over my head, above the brightness of the sun, which descended gradually until it fell upon me.
17 It no sooner appeared than I found myself delivered from the enemy which held me bound. When the light rested upon me I saw two Personages, whose brightness and glory defy all description, standing above me in the air. One of them spake unto me, calling me by name and said, pointing to the other, This is My Beloved Son. Hear Him!
140H3-140H14: "Heavenly Mother spoke: 'Raphael, what Joseph experienced in being delivered from an "actual being from the unseen world" (see Joseph Smith History 1:16) will happen to every one of our elect whom we have chosen. They currently each have a shield of the Father which greatly limits Satan's intrusions into their very beings.
The change we will bring upon the faithful elect will bring them from a telestial state to a terrestrial state. They will not generally be translated to this higher state, but will be elevated to this realm even while in their telestial world. Their deliverance completely out of Satan's grasp will be like what happened to the young boy Joseph when he prayed to God in the woods near his house.
5. "...I saw a pillar of light exactly over my head, above the brightness of the sun himself which descended gradually until it fell upon me.
It no sooner appeared than I found myself delivered from the enemy which held me bound."
(Joseph Smith History 1:16-17)
Lucifer himself attacked the young to be prophet at that time, with all of his powers of spiritual subjugation. Once the pillar of light appeared above Joseph, Satan had to depart for he couldn't dwell in or near Joseph any longer, once Joseph became enveloped in the celestial realm. The light of the Father and the Son was from a higher celestial realm of glory which soon fully engulfed Joseph, even as my light now engulfs you in celestial light.
The fallen spirits of Lucifer and his evil followers can only abide a telestial glory that is in your mortal earth and in the telestial world of the dead. When a higher realm of glory comes, they must depart else they become so uncomfortable, even unto pain in their spirits. The only way for them to come into our higher realm is if we were to quicken them temporarily to that glory.
There will be a time in the future when we will ask our celestial angels to descend near each of our elect on the earth. Our angels will become conduits of our light and power, and will direct our celestial light from above to engulf our elect sons and daughters. Once the light engulfs them, we will then direct our angels to touch each one of our elect and by our power raise them even from their telestial state of being to a terrestrial state of being. Our angel will then depart and our celestial light will depart, but our chosen elect will have been elevated to a terrestrial state of glory.
This change will not be a translation, but an gradual elevation of their personal realm of glory. They will then still be mortal and will still be able to live normally in their lives, but they will be terrestrial. Satan nor his evil hosts will then not be able to be near them or attach to their shields of the Father that they will still possess.
This elevation change will not be noticed by many of our elect on the earth at first, for they dwell in telestial realms and in their conscious mind. Were they to be perceptive, and able to see in their unconscious mind as can you, they would immediately see the changes brought upon them by our angels and through our power. Most of our elect are not yet perceptive of these spiritual things that will come upon them.
They will all notice, however, over time that they no longer are harangued nor tempted by the adversary like they have been in the past. They will feel free and more elevated in their spiritual perceptions and clarity. They will be as if they were born into a terrestrial mortal body like will occur for all in the great millennium.
By these small means we will start to transition our people and the world into a world of peace and deliverance from Satan. Lucifer and his evil hosts will be powerless to do anything about these changes! They will become even more angered and will intrude then more fully upon the remainder of humanity that remain in their same telestial state. The devils will know that their time on the earth is coming to a close.
You, Raphael, will continue to keep in check all of Satan's hosts so that they do not overstep their bounds that we have set. For those who do step over the limits of propriety, you will remove them to the prison orb.
There will be others who have other missions who will also become translated to a terrestrial glory at the time our angels send our celestial light upon them and touch their heads. There will still be those not yet translated to a terrestrial glory who of the 144,000 servants spoken of in the scriptures. After all of our elect are changed to this higher terrestrial glory, all of the 144,000 will also be fully translated.'"
144D21-144D22, 144D24-144D35: "Evening-I had received a question from M.A. about the millennium:
Q1-She asked will those who are terrestrial in nature and not redeemed yet, be able to see Jesus? And will other resurrected people be seen on the terrestrial earth by those not yet on a celestial level yet? Do resurrected people live on the terrestrial earth or on the celestial orb?
I came this evening to the celestial orb, at the cliff overlooking God's healing lake. I could also see the distant temple to the north. It was clear and still light outside. I knelt and asked God to come in answer to my prayer.
Heavenly Mother then came in a beam of light from her distant temple! Her light radiated to the entire region, and filled me with joy and anticipation of being near her and hearing her words.
She smiled upon me and then spoke:
'Raphael, I would like to address M.A.'s questions:
A1-Those who are resurrected on the terrestrial earth in the millennium will be resurrected to a celestial glory, for they are of the First Resurrection, or the resurrection of the just.
When they first resurrect, they will usually appear to those of their family who gather at the time of their death. Their terrestrial body dies, and will be resurrected gradually to a celestial glory. In this process there is a transition from the terrestrial state to a celestial state, for they will be resurrected in the state that they were when they died. Their body will first be therefore resurrected as it was laid down, or in a terrestrial glory. It then will change rather quickly to a celestial state from a terrestrial state.
For those who are buried in your earth, in your current telestial world, they will be resurrected first in their telestial state, as they were laid down in the grave, at the age and physical appearance that they died. They then will also be changed from their age to their ideal age of a resurrected person, and be changed to a celestial resurrected being. The ideal age is usually around twenty-five years old.
Those around them who witness their resurrection on earth may see them resurrect and then, as they transition to a celestial state, they will also transition into the celestial realm from the terrestrial realm. When in the celestial realm, those in lower realms will not be able to view them.
A celestial resurrected person may come into a lower realm of glory and, if approved, appear to those in that realm. The angel Moroni appeared to the young Joseph Smith in Joseph's room. His room was in the telestial realm, but Moroni came into that realm from the celestial realm where he lives. (see Joseph Smith History 1:30-44).
Sometimes we quicken one in a lower realm to come into a higher realm, usually when one of us three Gods appear to one of our children in a lower realm. This happened when Joseph Smith earlier saw the Father and the Son in the grove of trees in 1820.
In the millennium, Jesus Christ may choose which realm he may wish to show himself in. He may walk among our terrestrial children on the earth and not be seen, for he would then be in the celestial or higher celestial realm. If he chose to appear to those who were in the terrestrial realm, he could appear to them in that realm, or have them quickened to a higher celestial realm.
There will not generally be resurrected celestial beings living on the terrestrial millennial earth. Their abode will be on the celestial orb. We make exceptions for spouses who may be resurrected and live with mortal translated angels who labor for us in our New Jerusalem temple. When appearing to other terrestrial inhabitants of the earth, these resurrected ones would normally appear in a lower terrestrial state.
A celestial resurrected being may also appear as a normal person in a lower realm, and hide their glory. This will be the condition of the resurrected spouses of our mortal angels when they mingle with family and friends on the earth who are mortal."

Joseph Smith History 1:19
19 I was answered that I must join none of them, for they were all wrong; and the Personage who addressed me said that all their creeds were an abomination in his sight; that those professors were all corrupt; that: they draw near to me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me, they teach for doctrines the commandments of men, having a form of godliness, but they deny the power thereof.J
134C4-134C7: "Heavenly Father then spoke: 'Raphael, I appear to my children often in great power and majesty, for those who see me in prayer like you have diligently sought for me, and I have gradually opened up. They usually see our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ first. He is the one who redeems and cleanses them by his great sacrifice for their sins and weaknesses. He soon then introduces your Heavenly Mother and me to these, our children. This is on a one by one basis, just like you had experienced in May and April 2013.
You had a dream last night while sleeping. In your dream, you saw a time of General Conference in the LDS Church in a large building, not the Conference Center. The entire First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve were dressed in white suits. You saw that President Russell M. Nelson fell over some stairs while attempting to show how spry he was to the congregation. He was taken away on a stretcher from the conference before it started.
This dream was not reality, but it was from me, your Heavenly Father, to your unconscious mind. Dreams are often full of symbolism, but not realistic to your conscious mind. I wanted to show to you how the outward clothing, or signs (white suits), or the effort to impress by being spry like President Nelson did in your dream, and then he fell, is not sufficient to impress the people. What is sufficient is whether the Spirit of God accompanies their words and actions. The people would then know they are being led aright. However, without the Holy Spirit, there is nothing they may do to sufficiently impress the spiritually sensitive to follow them.
The conclusion of this dream will play out in reality over the next phase of the LDS Church. Without our confirming Spirit, the spiritually sensitive will lose their verve to follow the leadership in this Church, by withdrawing our Spirit and confirming witness of the words and actions of its leaders. They will become like the professor of religion in Joseph Smith's day: "They draw near to me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me, they teach for doctrine the commandments of men, having a form of godliness, but they deny the power thereof." (Joseph Smith History 1:19)'"

Joseph Smith History 1:37
37 For behold, the day cometh that shall burn as an oven, and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly shall burn as stubble; for they that come shall burn them, saith the Lord of Hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
Sun, Jan 28, 2024
This is the day of the Lord which describes when the telestial mortal earth and the wicked shall burn like an oven, and they that come will burn them. Those who will come will be those who destroy by degrees the wicked, as sent forth by Jesus Christ. Finally, Jesus Christ will also come and finally burn them up with the terrestrial fire of his coming. This will leave the sinners of the land no root nor branch (no posterity). See also my note in Malachi 4:1.
158F3-150F6, from Heavenly Mother: "You read that I told M.A. that her aches and pains that she experiences were from my corona flame burning up her toxins in her body. My light that rests upon you, even my corona flame, is now doing this also for you and all of our elect children. When a virus or other infection comes upon them, or is latent in their bodies from their previous telestial state, this corona flame will burn these up so that these are no longer present. This process is gradual. Eventually, when the elect come into the millennium, they will have had all of these toxins and diseases eliminated from their bodies. In this way, any viruses, plagues and low vibrational toxins will not come into our elevated terrestrial earth during the millennium.
When our Beloved Son comes to the earth in glory, he will bring this same intense light with him, this same corona flame. His light will consume any remaining telestial-level elements that remain on the earth, as the entire earth herself makes a final transition to a terrestrial glory. This burning will eliminate all telestial diseases , plagues and even our non-elect telestial children who may be still remaining on the earth. This will be in fulfillment of what our servant Moroni said to the young Joseph Smith on September 21st, 1823 in quoting Malachi 4:1-
Joseph Smith History 1:37:
"For behold, the day cometh that shall burn as an oven, and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly shall burn as stubble; for they that come shall burn them, saith the Lord of Hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch."
They that come are the wicked armies who will destroy the wicked by nuclear fire. However, Jesus Christ will complete their burning with his own fire that will destroy all remaining evil and the remnants of the fallen telestial world..
D&C 64:22-24-
"And after that day, I, the Lord, will not hold any guilty that shall go with an open heart up to the land of Zion; for I, the Lord, require the hearts of the children of men.
Behold, now it is called today until the coming of the Son of Man (this today means it is now a telestial earth), and verily it is a day of sacrifice, and a day for the tithing of my people (tithing here means the division of the people, or separation of the wheat or elect from the tares or the wicked); for he that is tithed (or separated as the elect of God) shall not be burned at his coming.
For after today cometh the burning (or after the time of the telestial elements on the earth are fully ended) this is speaking after the manner of the Lord, for verily I say, tomorrow (or the day of the Lord when Jesus comes to the earth in the glory of his presence) all the proud and they that do wickedly shall be as stubble; and I will burn them up, for I am the Lord of Hosts; and I will not spare any that remain in Babylon." (words in parenthesis from Heavenly Mother)."

Joseph Smith History 1:40
40 In addition to these, he quoted the eleventh chapter of Isaiah, saying that it was about to be fulfilled. He quoted also the third chapter of Acts, twenty-second and twenty-third verses, precisely as they stand in our New Testament. He said that that prophet was Christ; but the day had not yet come when they who would not hear his voice should be cut off from among the people,J but soon would come.

This prophecy relates to Raphael and John the Beloved, clothed with power and authority to gather Israel in the last days. See my notes in Isaiah 11:1.

41 He also quoted the second chapter of Joel, from the twenty-eighth verse to the last. He also said that this was not yet fulfilled, but was soon to be. And he further stated that the fulness of the Gentiles was soon to come in. He quoted many other passages of scripture, and offered many explanations which cannot be mentioned here.

See my notes in Malachi 3:1. The reason he quoted this first I believe is that finally, finally this everlasting covenant of the Father would come upon the earth! This is everlasting covenant would start in the Church of Christ, and then in the Church of the Firstborn, and both churches would soon come upon the earth. This is the covenant of the Father and Mother of eternal life and exaltation, to be extended to the faithful elect.

94E6-94E8, from HF: "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 HM 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!'"
