Book of Raphael Volume Three (see journal entries below)

March 12, 2025
While creating hyperlinks for references in this Book of Mormon volume, I felt to read my above entry dated August 30, 2024. I hadn't remembered that my Heavenly Father asked me to create a Raphael Volume Three, to contain my new revelations! I had been adding these as they came to me in this Raphael Volume Two, under a scripture that I thought pertained to that revelation.

I decided to make this a matter of prayer. I have been writing new revelations since January 21, 2025 when all of these revelations went online the day before (about 50 days ago). I am now praying to my Heavenly Father, asking for forgiveness in not following strictly what he told me to do in creating a new Book of Raphael Volume Three. I wanted to know how now to proceed.

I feel now that my Heavenly Father will answer my question. Here are his words to me:

"Raphael, you have been diligent in creating the Book of Raphael Volumes One and Two, and in adding our revelations to your volume two since you brought it online. We do not fault you for anything you have done.

However, now is the time to start Raphael Volume Three, to house your new revelations from us, your Heavenly Parents. No longer enter our revelations in Raphael Volume Two, but instead keep these in Raphael Volume Three. Enter these in date order, like a journal would be written. When your feel that our revelations need to be referenced in a specific scripture, then reference your volume three entry in volume two, at the end of the scripture notes that are there.

We want you to create an online version of Raphael Volume Three as soon as new revelations come to you. Include links to this volume next to those for volumes one and two.

We are also pleased that you are making hyperlinks throughout Raphael Volume Two for our revelations given to you in volume one. You may also make links to your newest revelations in Raphael Volume Three as they become available."

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his newest directions! I feel confirmed that what I have written is his will for me now.

Today I read 1 Nephi chapters 2 and 3. These chapters show what Nephi is really like, and what his brothers were like. Nephi and Sam were those whose hearts were softened by the Lord, so that they believed all the words of their father. Laman and Lemuel, on the other hand, hardened their hearts and did not believe their father, for they murmured against him (see 1 Nephi 3:5).

As I read these two chapters, I was impressed that such will also be the choices for those in the world today: Those like Nephi and Sam will believe in the Book of Raphael, and other scriptures and true accounts as well, as these become available to the people. They will do as did Nephi:

1 Nephi 2:16
"And it came to pass that I, Nephi, being exceedingly young, nevertheless being large in stature, and also having great desires to know of the mysteries of God, wherefore, I did cry unto the Lord; and behold he did visit me, and did soften my heart that I did believe all the words which had been spoken by my father; wherefore, I did not rebel against him like unto my brothers."

The elect of God, chosen of Heavenly Father and Mother, will "cry unto the Lord", and will seek God "diligently, with lowliness of heart." (1 Nephi 2:19). On the other hand, those who are not elect will ridicule those accounts and those who believe in them, and think that these records are written because of the "foolish imaginations of (their) heart(s)." (1 Nephi 2:11)

The portrayal of these two sets of brothers, Nephi and Sam, and Laman and Lemuel, are typical of people in our day. The elect of God will respond with belief and action to all things given to them of God. They will "be led to a land of promise" (1 Nephi 2:20), as was Nephi. In the case of the elect in our day, the land of promise is the millennial day of peace and rest in a higher, terrestrial mortal world.

As I was musing over the similarity of Nephi's day with ours, I read the following:

1 Nephi 3:29-30
"And it came to pass as they smote us with a rod, behold, an angel of the Lord came and stood before them, and he spake unto them, saying: Why do ye smite your younger brother with a rod? Know ye not that the Lord hath chosen him to be a ruler over you, and this because of your iniquities? Behold ye shall go up to Jerusalem again, and the Lord will deliver Laban into your hands.

And after the angel had spoken unto us, he departed."

I had the distinct impression that this angel was Raphael, the archangel of the Lord, the same angel that spoke to Nephi in 1 Nephi 11:14:30 (see 92E3-92E16)! I was this indvidual, even in my premortal state before I was born in the mortal world.

I confirmed this immediately with my Father in Heaven. Here is what he said to me:

"Raphael, you were commissioned by me to be one of the main angels to interact with my children on earth during the time before your mortal birth. You have correctly recorded these appearances in scripture in your notes dated September 24, 2024 in D&C 128:21. Add this newest appearance in your notes so it may be more complete."

I felt a thrill to have found out this little tidbit, and felt a deep peace at the same time. I thanked my Heavenly Father for this blessing of truth that he gave to me this afternoon!

This morning in my scripture study, I sought where my Heavenly Father wanted me to study and read. I felt prompted to select 2 Nephi 31:4-16. This is where Nephi talks about following the example of the Son of God, by being baptized in water, thus fulfilling all righteousness. I looked up the exact phrase to "fulfill all righteousness", and found it recorded in one other verse of scripture:

Matthew 3:15-17
"And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.

And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:

And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."

I read again 2 Nephi 31:4-16, trying to be open to what my Father was wanting to relate to me. I also read 138B12-138B27 which records a conversation I had with Jesus Christ and my Heavenly Father, about traveling to the tree of life.

In the above reference, Jesus told me this:

"Raphael, it is after our son or daughter presses forward, walking on the straight and narrow path, all the while feasting upon my words and my guidance in their life, and holding onto the rod of iron (my gospel standards), that I will bring them forth from that straight and narrow path to the tree of life. Then will I say to them that they shall have eternal life! Then will they have their calling and election be made sure! Then will I appear finally to them, and introduce our Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother to them. Our son or daughter may then figuratively and in reality come to the tree of life and partake of its beautiful white fruit that is so delicious to the soul!

The journey to the tree of life is the way that our Father and Mother have ordained for everyone of their beloved children to travel on to where they will receive eternal life, even a glory in the celestial worlds!"

I was impressed with what I read. I then asked to receive further light and knowledge about why I was led to this scripture this morning. I prayed humbly to my Heavenly Father. He appeared before me in my mind's eye, and wanted me to record his words:

"Raphael, you have wondered recently more about how my elect will find your record, the Book of Raphael, and how they will come to accept it as from me. You have wondered how so many may be led down this same path to find your record online, and to study it and embrace it.

We have ordained that all of our children in mortality, or those along their probationary journey back to us (this could be in the postmortal spirit world, or in a resurrected state as well), follow a similar path back to us to ultimately receive eternal life and exaltation. There are many, for example, who believe in God, and want to follow us and keep our commandments. They don't know where to turn, or where we might lead them. Nevertheless, they trust in us and humbly petition us, in prayer and diligence, for direction.

We respond to our elect children, and we will lead all of them to find our revelations that we have given to our prophets, including you. They are led to then inquire of us if the words they read are truly from us, their Gods. We will then send to them our Spirit, and witness to them by our Holy Ghost, that these truths are from us, and not from man. Being encouraged, they will continue to inquire of us, and we will continue to gently and carefully lead them, even to your record. Your record has truths never before revealed to man, which are very great. We have chosen to reveal these great revelations to you to enlighten and guide you and all those who read and study your record. We desire to lead them all along a similar path to eternal life and exaltation, even as we have carefully led you.

Raphael, there will be thousands and thousands of our righteous elect who will be led in this manner by us, their Heavenly Parents and Jesus Christ. They will fulfill all righteousness by following the example of our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ. They will humbly seek us in prayer and openness of heart. In turn, we will lead them, one step at a time, according to the diligent heed they give to us and our promptings to their unconscious minds by our soft and gentle spiritual promptings. In doing so, we will prove them along their way back to us, ever watching how they respond when we prompt them. We want each to develop within themselves a high sensitivity to the Holy Ghost, who will quietly prompt them where to go and what to do in every major step of their lives. This is what is the meaning of "to fulfill all righteousness" means. It is a path that all of our elect will need to attain in their lives at some point. When they do so consistently, and when we have proven them sufficiently, they will then walk the actual straight and narrow path to the tree of life. When they arrive, they will meet their Heavenly Mother and me, and we will embrace them and have great joy in their return to us! They will then partake of the fruit of the tree of life, which fruit represents eternal life.

Raphael, don't wonder or worry about how we will inspire the elect any longer, for we have power to give each of our children our promptings, all tailored to their individual circumstances and lives. We also inspire you, our prophet of the Church of the Firstborn, to do our will, day by day, as you seek us and inquire of us.

Your Heavenly Mother and I are pleased with your diligence and humility. We will lead you along, and do our marvelous work and a wonder (see also 198F6-198F11) through you and our other servants in these last days prior to the return of Jesus Christ to the earth."

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his comforting and clarifying words to me this morning! I feel so loved, and so guided in all that I do. I feel directed and focused on what God wants me to do each day! It is a great and rewarding life!

Yesterday at our local ward, in our Sunday School class, the entire discussion was about the importance of having a living prophet and a structure in the church that people could rely on. The people generally said that they didn't have to worry, for they had a prophet to lead them. There was no discussion about praying about the prophet, whether he was leading them aright. They basically said "all is well in Zion, for we have a prophet, and do not need to worry, for he will not lead us astray in the dark world around us!"

I was listening, and kept praying in my mind and heart to my Gods in the meeting, whether what they were saying was correct or not. I felt clearly that these people were missing an important step in their sustaining of their prophet. This essential step was to pray to God, to know whether they were being led correctly by their prophet, and their leaders, in all things.

This reminded me of the scripture in JST Mark 9:40-48:
"Header: Jesus compares cutting off an offending hand or foot to discontinuing associations that may lead one astray.

40 Therefore, if thy hand offend thee, cut it off; or if thy brother offend thee and confess not and forsake not, he shall be cut off. It is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands, to go into hell.

41 For it is better for thee to enter into life without thy brother, than for thee and thy brother to be cast into hell; into the fire that never shall be quenched, where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

42 And again, if thy foot offend thee, cut it off; for he that is thy standard, by whom thou walkest, if he become a transgressor, he shall be cut off.

43 It is better for thee, to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell; into the fire that never shall be quenched.

44 Therefore, let every man stand or fall, by himself, and not for another; or not trusting another.

45 Seek unto my Father, and it shall be done in that very moment what ye shall ask, if ye ask in faith, believing that ye shall receive.

46 And if thine eye which seeth for thee, him that is appointed to watch over thee to show thee light, become a transgressor and offend thee, pluck him out.

47 It is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God, with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.

48 For it is better that thyself should be saved, than to be cast into hell with thy brother, where their worm dieth not, and where the fire is not quenched."

The members of my Sunday School were not apparently praying to God, to determine if their leaders, including the prophet, was leading them correctly or not. Had they been doing so, in all humility and diligence, they would not have had the attitude of "all is well in Zion, Zion prospereth" (see 2 Nephi 21: "And others will he pacify, and lull them away into carnal security, that they will say: All is well in Zion; yea, Zion prospereth, all is well—and thus the devil cheateth their souls, and leadeth them away carefully down to hell.")

I also found this in my Journal below that Jesus Christ had spoken to me in September, 2017. In this instance, I felt very imperfect, and sought to know how others could believe in my revelations with my many weaknesses of the flesh. I also received clear direction on what others were supposed to do to ensure that they were not being led astray.

59F4-59F12, from Jesus Christ:

"Here is his answer he spoke to me:

'Raphael, my son, you are in the flesh, and are an imperfect man. You had received your answers to these questions a year ago in prayer and in rapid succession. In that environment of receiving, you misinterpreted a small portion of what you were receiving, not taking time to carefully go back and retest what you received. This has allowed some minor errors to creep into your web posts.

Since that time, your spiritual perceptions have greatly improved, because you have been able to increase your connection with us and your spiritual replicated self who dwells in the celestial realms above. You are now more accurate in your posts than you were one year ago.

Raphael, do not be discouraged by your weaknesses of the flesh! We still work with you in great abundance, even though you have weaknesses and flaws and still make mistakes. This too is part of our plan for you and for all of our children in mortality. This is why we had asked the early members of the Church of Christ to sustain the prophet Joseph Smith in all patience and faith. See D&C 21:4-8–

"Wherefore, meaning the church, thou shalt give heed unto all his words and commandments which he shall give unto you as he receiveth them, walking in all holiness before me;

For his word ye shall receive, as if from mine own mouth, in all patience and faith.

For by doing these things the gates of hell shall not prevail against you; yea, and the Lord God will disperse the powers of darkness from before you, and cause the heavens to shake for your good, and his name’s glory.

For thus saith the Lord God: Him have I inspired to move the cause of Zion in mighty power for good, and his diligence I know, and his prayers I have heard.

Yea, his weeping for Zion I have seen, and I will cause that he shall mourn for her no longer; for his days of rejoicing are come unto the remission of his sins, and the manifestations of my blessings upon his works."

Please note that those to whom we reveal our great truths are mortals, and are weak and imperfect. We therefore require that those who sustain them to continually test their words themselves in prayer and supplication before us. Those whom we have asked to sustain you will find faults and mistakes, but these are minor compared to the overarching and grand revelations of truth that we have and continue to reveal to you from the heavens. Weaknesses of the flesh are common to every one in mortality, including you and all of the prophets.

Walk in humility before us, seek our face always, and we will continue to pour down revelation upon revelation upon you, as fast as you are able to receive them.'

I then felt comforted by my Savior! It feels good to know that he doesn't expect me to be perfect! He does want me to be the best I can be, and to continue to repent and seek forgiveness continually and immediately. I want to become more and more as a little child–quick to observe, and humble and very open. I apologize for all of my weaknesses and mistakes. I do feel strong, however, when I am weak. I feel strong in the sense that there is a channel open up to heaven for me to receive, because of my weak and lowly state. I also feel I am doing my best. The flow of revelations seems as fast as I can possibly receive and write down, and test for accuracy.

With this, I thanked my Redeemer and Savior. He drew me close and embraced me! I felt so strengthened in him, in this embrace! He then released his hug, and placed his hands on my shoulders:

'Raphael, continue on the path now, the straight and narrow journey to the tree of life. We will always be with you and support you, even though you feel weak or incapable. I love you!'

He then dropped his hands and motioned me towards the gold narrow path behind me. I smiled at him, and turned and walked to the tree of life on the gold path, holding onto the rod of iron."

My conclusion today is that we, as followers of Jesus Christ, are to do all we can to insure that we are being led by those who are inspired of God, and not by other men, women, their own directions, or the devil himself. Our prophets, leaders, friends, family, and particularly ourselves, all fall into this category. We are held responsible by God to continually check with God in prayer, if we are being led, and our leaders are directing us, as God would want. If we neglect or fail to do this, it is at the peril of our own eternal salvation!

Brigham Young said this: "Brethren, this Church will be led onto the very brink of hell by the leaders of this people. Then God will raise the one mighty and strong, spoken of in the 85th Section of the Doctrine and Covenants, to save and redeem this Church."

Over the past few weeks, I have been receiving these thoughts: President Donald Trump, who is now being so very transparent in his administration, is revealing so many dark and sinister activities that have occurred in the federal government that he and his team are discovering and routing out. They are cancelling daily unnecessary contracts and saving billions and billions of dollars in waste, fraud, and over-spending of US taxpayer dollars. It is appalling what they are uncovering! Our government at the head, is being cleaned up and becoming much more efficient. I trust that this will continue, for we are only 50+ days into this administration!

If this is being done in the open, in a very transparent manner, I wonder what secrets the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is hiding from its members? Why not reveal to the members who fund the church where every penny is going, including their salaries and every program?

There now are so many actions and activities that are done in secret meetings in the church that we don't know about. We are told to sustain our leaders in the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve as prophets, seers and revelators, but they are not very transparent in their actions. How are the huge amounts of tithing monies spent? How can we know what they are doing, what God wants them to do with these funds, if they don't tell us at least some of the details? There are also some obvious changes in doctrines of the church: are these all approved of God? Where are the new revelations for us to read and ponder, from God, that show us that these changes are from God and not man? Or is the new church direction that of man and not of God? I would like to have the level of transparency in the church that is happening at the federal government under President Trump!

As I was pondering all of this, I humbly prayed to my Father in Heaven, to see if he wanted to reveal anything to me on this subject.

He immediately spoke to me these words below. I write them as they come into my mind and heart (see Helaman 13:5):

"Raphael, I have been prompting you over the past few weeks to inquire of me what will become of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the days you live in, in the years ahead. I want to tell you what will happen.

D&C 1:3
"And the rebellious (all people who hide their evil acts, whether in church, industry, government, or among men and women of great influence and power) shall be pierced with much sorrow; for their iniquities shall be spoken upon the housetops, and their secret acts shall be revealed."

This revealing will come very quickly, first upon the land of America and upon my house, which at the time of this revelation below meant means the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints:

D&C 112:23-26
"Verily, verily, I say unto you, darkness covereth the earth, and gross darkness the minds of the people, and all flesh has become corrupt before my face. (This is the state of the people in your entire world today.)

Behold, vengeance cometh speedily upon the inhabitants of the earth, a day of wrath, a day of burning, a day of desolation, of weeping, of mourning, and of lamentation; and as a whirlwind it shall come upon all the face of the earth, saith the Lord. (This vengeance will come upon all the earth, but in your land you will have relative peace while President Trump is office, over the next four years. It is during this four year period that we will further test our people, and know who chooses us, their Gods, over their own wills and desires for gain, power and pleasure, instead of humbly connecting to us in prayer and receiving the guidance of our Spirit.)

And upon my house shall it begin, and from my house shall it go forth, saith the Lord; (This refers to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, where the calamities will start once the relative peace in the land ends.)

First among those among you, saith the Lord, who have professed to know my name and have not known me, and have blasphemed against me in the midst of my house (this refers to the Salt Lake Temple, where the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve meet in secret, which house was dedicated when I still accepted the leaders of the church), saith the Lord."

(words in parenthesis in the two sections above from Heavenly Father)

This year is the start of the great revealing of evil plans among my children on the earth! It is beginning at the federal level of your United States government at this time, and will continue to sweep across all institutions in your land, including the LDS Church and other religious organizations. The plans and actions of all organizations will be revealed in your day. This includes both good and the evil revealing, whether inspired by me or by the devil. The cloak of secrecy will be removed, so all may see clearly and judge whether these things done in secret are wholesome and uplifting, or evil and conspiring.

I am revealing all the acts of men and women in order to expose and cleanse the earth of evil, prior to the second coming of Jesus Christ, my Beloved Son. Your coming day will be one of great division among the people. All men and women will have to decide in whom they wish to follow and trust. The intentions and actions of their leaders in every sector will be revealed.

I am also revealing the secret acts of all organizations so that we, who are your Gods, will be able to watch and see with whom each of our children align. Our elect will choose to follow us, their Gods, and that which is of good report, or praiseworthy. They will embrace your words that we have revealed to you in secret, and then reveal to them openly. Our elect will humbly petition us for direction and revelation. Without our guidance, our children will not know who is speaking the truth or not.

On the other hand, those who are not our elect children will try to figure things out on their own. They will seek after their own desires of the flesh, and not inquire of us. They will lean upon the arm of flesh, others who are misguided like themselves, and those who are inspired by Satan. They will generally reject our words and inspirations to them.

In the coming days of confusion, it will be very difficult to discern truth from error. Artificial Intelligence practices will spread quickly across your land, and will be used for both good and evil purposes. Lies and coverups will abound, trying to hide evil practices that will have been exposed. There will be a time when my Spirit and the Holy Ghost will be the only way to discern the truth.

Raphael, I speak this to you now, at the beginning of this great time of revealing among our children in the world. Be humble, and continue to inquire of me, and I will continue to reveal to you great things, even that which has never been revealed to man:

D&C 101:32-35
"Yea, verily I say unto you, in that day when the Lord shall come, he shall reveal all things—

Things which have passed, and hidden things which no man knew, things of the earth, by which it was made, and the purpose and the end thereof—

Things most precious, things that are above, and things that are beneath, things that are in the earth, and upon the earth, and in heaven.

And all they who suffer persecution for my name, and endure in faith, though they are called to lay down their lives for my sake yet shall they partake of all this glory.""

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his prophetic words. I feel so assured that he, Heavenly Mother and Jesus Christ are fully in charge of how the events of this world progress!

June 28, 2025
Heavenly Father spoke on Donald Trump this morning as recorded in my journal.

__________________________________________

March 19, 2025
This morning I prayed where I should study, and I felt to read D&C 111:8:
"And the place where it is my will that you should tarry, for the main, shall be signalized unto you by the peace and power of my Spirit, that shall flow unto you."

I love the word "signalized", for that is a great description of how God speaks to us, even like a signal that we may discern.

Yesterday I read also Helaman 13:3-5:
"And he said unto them: Behold, I, Samuel, a Lamanite, do speak the words of the Lord which he doth put into my heart; and behold he hath put it into my heart to say unto this people that the sword of justice hangeth over this people; and four hundred years pass not away save the sword of justice falleth upon this people."

What impressed me is what Helaman said that he spoke the "words of the Lord which he doth put into my heart."

I then asked my Father in Heaven for any words that he might want to reveal to me about these two scriptures above. Here are his words to me this morning, that I write from what he puts into my mind and heart:

"Raphael, I have led you to D&C 111:8 and Helaman 13:5 this morning, for I want to speak to your mind about how Jesus Christ, your Heavenly Mother and I reveal our will to our children on earth. We have spoken to you multiple times about this before that you have written in your Book of Raphael. However, I want to again confirm to you that when you receive, speak and/or write my words, that you can be confident that it is from us your Gods, and not from you."

When you feel the subtle impression in your mind and heart, or a stronger impression, and confirm in your mind that this is from us, there is no further need to wonder if what we prompt you is from us. It will always be from us, and not from you. We will always confirm our voice to you by a peaceful, clear, and yet quiet assurance that we are speaking to you. Have faith that this is always from us! If when you confirm our words you ever receive a negative, or "no" feeling, you can also be assured that this is us saying to your heart and mind that this feeling or impression is not from us. We never tire of you asking us to confirm anything that you might feel, for we are always beside you and will confirm all of our words, as often as you ask of us.

The words of Jesus Christ to Oliver Cowdery in April, 1829, are exactly how we communicate to you Raphael, for you to know if anything is from us:

D&C 9:8-9
"But, behold, I say unto you, that you must study it out in your mind; then you must ask me if it be right, and if it is right I will cause that your bosom shall burn within you; therefore, you shall feel that it is right.

But if it be not right you shall have no such feelings, but you shall have a stupor of thought that shall cause you to forget the thing which is wrong; therefore, you cannot write that which is sacred save it be given you from me."

When our servant Samuel, a Lamanite, was ready to return to his own land after having been rejected by the wicked Nephites, we spoke to him by the Holy Ghost the following:

Helaman 13:3
"But behold, the voice of the Lord came unto him, that he should return again, and prophesy unto the people whatsoever things should come into his heart."

This message by our Spirit was subtle and quiet, but clear and direct. Samuel was accustomed to hearing and feeling our Spirit, and the Holy Ghost, so he quickly recognized that this was his God speaking to him, and not his own thoughts or directions. He confirmed in his spirit that this was from us, and not him, and then exercised faith in our direction by returning to Zarahemla and getting on the wall of that city. He was led by the Spirit, not knowing beforehand what he would do, but trusting in us, he proceeded forward in faith.

The experience of Nephi of old entering Jerusalem by night, and slaying Laban with his own sword, was another example of being led by the Spirit, and then acting in faith (see that experience in 1 Nephi chapter 4):

1 Nephi 4:6
"And I was led by the Spirit, not knowing beforehand the things which I should do."

Once any of our children on earth receive from us by the Spirit, we then expect them to act on our direction in faith. We are eager to lead our faithful children, and will never abandon them after we give them our directions.

In your life, the most distressing time you felt that we abandoned you was when we told you to go to Zion with your wife and son, but then prevented you from doing so. You didn't realize that between these events you had made a decision to stay behind, and not go to the New Jerusalem. We accepted your decision, but you were not aware of what you had done, nor what we had said to you, because it was all done in a higher, celestial realm with us, in your unconscious state. This event also served as a major test for you to see what you would do, not knowing in your conscious mind of what transpired in our higher realms. In this situation, we did not abandon you, and your faith was tested. You continued in faith, and we are pleased with the outcome and your diligence in continuing to pray to us, and seeking to commune with us.

Everyone of our children on earth, whether in mortality or in the spirit world, or in another realm of progression, may receive our direction as we have described above. We speak softly, in a still voice, with clarity and peace. As our children obey our directions, they receive more of our Spirit and light, and become more and more accustomed to our voice and manner. If they reject our directions, they receive less and less, even until there is no light in them.

D&C 50:24
"That which is of God is light; and he that receiveth light, and continueth in God, receiveth more light; and that light groweth brighter and brighter until the perfect day.""

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his beautiful words to me today! I felt enlightened and clarified by this communication this morning.

Yesterday morning after I prayed, I was led to read Isaiah 11:1-2. I read the verses and all of what I have received about these two Isaiah verses. I read and refreshed my mind over the roles of John the Beloved, as a rod and a root of Jesse, and the role of Raphael, as the Branch. I read how my Gods identified both John and Raphael as having received commissions and various keys in these last days.

I then still wondered why I was referred clearly led to these two verses. Heavenly Father answered immediately and told me these words:

"Raphael, I led you to read and study all of the references to Isaiah 11:1-2 this morning. I did this because there are more references to you as the Branch than you have referenced in your Book of Raphael. I would like you to add these to your record."

I then asked my Heavenly Father where I might find these additional references to Raphael as the Branch that I have not yet recorded? I have spent some hours since yesterday trying to find the other references.

Today I was searching in the LDS scripture search the word "branch", following the prompting of Heavenly Father. I came across this passage below from Joseph in Egypt, given to him in his latter years. He received a great revelation:

JST Genesis 50:24-33
"And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die, and go unto my fathers; and I go down to my grave with joy. The God of my father Jacob be with you, to deliver you out of affliction in the days of your bondage; for the Lord hath visited me, and I have obtained a promise of the Lord, that out of the fruit of my loins, the Lord God will raise up a righteous branch out of my loins; and unto thee, whom my father Jacob hath named Israel, a prophet; (not the Messiah who is called Shilo;) and this prophet shall deliver my people out of Egypt in the days of thy bondage.

And it shall come to pass that they shall be scattered again; and a branch shall be broken off, and shall be carried into a far country; nevertheless they shall be remembered in the covenants of the Lord, when the Messiah cometh; for he shall be made manifest unto them in the latter days, in the Spirit of power; and shall bring them out of darkness into light; out of hidden darkness, and out of captivity unto freedom.

A seer shall the Lord my God raise up, who shall be a choice seer unto the fruit of my loins.

Thus saith the Lord God of my fathers unto me, A choice seer will I raise up out of the fruit of thy loins, and he shall be esteemed highly among the fruit of thy loins; and unto him will I give commandment that he shall do a work for the fruit of thy loins, his brethren.

And he shall bring them to the knowledge of the covenants which I have made with thy fathers; and he shall do whatsoever work I shall command him. And I will make him great in mine eyes, for he shall do my work; and he shall be great like unto him whom I have said I would raise up unto you, to deliver my people, O house of Israel, out of the land of Egypt; for a seer will I raise up to deliver my people out of the land of Egypt; and he shall be called Moses. And by this name he shall know that he is of thy house; for he shall be nursed by the king’s daughter, and shall be called her son.

And again, a seer will I raise up out of the fruit of thy loins, and unto him will I give power to bring forth my word unto the seed of thy loins; and not to the bringing forth of my word only, saith the Lord, but to the convincing them of my word, which shall have already gone forth among them in the last days;

Wherefore the fruit of thy loins shall write, and the fruit of the loins of Judah shall write; and that which shall be written by the fruit of thy loins, and also that which shall be written by the fruit of the loins of Judah, shall grow together unto the confounding of false doctrines, and laying down of contentions, and establishing peace among the fruit of thy loins, and bringing them to a knowledge of their fathers in the latter days; and also to the knowledge of my covenants, saith the Lord.

And out of weakness shall he be made strong, in that day when my work shall go forth among all my people, which shall restore them, who are of the house of Israel, in the last days.

And that seer will I bless, and they that seek to destroy him shall be confounded; for this promise I give unto you; for I will remember you from generation to generation; and his name shall be called Joseph, and it shall be after the name of his father; and he shall be like unto you; for the thing which the Lord shall bring forth by his hand shall bring my people unto salvation."

Joseph in Egypt knew about his seed coming across the waters to America: "and a branch shall be broken off, and shall be carried into a far country" (verse JST Genesis 50:25). This was Lehi and Mulek, and maybe also could refer to the emigrants to the the future United States.

Joseph in Egypt also referred to a righteous seer, who would be called by his name, and his father would also have that name. This is Joseph Smith, the seer.

But if one reads carefully with the Spirit, in JST Genesis 50:24, Joseph states this: "the Lord God will raise up a righteous branch out of my loins; and unto thee, whom my father Jacob hath named Israel, a prophet; (not the Messiah who is called Shilo;) and this prophet shall deliver my people out of Egypt in the days of thy bondage."

This prophet probably is referring to Moses, who would deliver Israel out of the land of Egypt. But the righteous branch, who is that? Is that referring to a single person, or a group of people like Lehi and the Nephites?

As I was pondering this passage, and its possible meanings, Heavenly Father spoke to my mind, and wanted to speak to me and have me write his words. Here are his words:

"Raphael, I myself gave this revelation to Jospeh in Egypt, at the end of his life, while he was in the Egypt with the tribes of Israel. You have correctly interpreted the prophecy as is recorded in JST Genesis 50:24-33, except for one hidden prophecy.

Verse 24 reads in part the following [my comments in brackets]:
". . . for the Lord hath visited me [this was me, his Heavenly Father, speaking to Joseph's unconscious mind], and I have obtained a promise of the Lord, that out of the fruit of my loins, the Lord God will raise up a righteous branch out of my loins [this righteous branch is a single individual, even you, Raphael! You are the Branch spoken of in your Bible, whom I would raise out of the seed of Joseph, to build the New Jerusalem and the celestial temple there, and all that I have commissioned you to do in behalf of my elect, even my chosen Israel]; and unto thee, whom my father Jacob hath named Israel, a prophet; (not the Messiah who is called Shilo;) and this prophet shall deliver my people out of Egypt in the days of thy bondage. [this prophet was Moses]"

Raphael, this is one of the hidden promises that Heavenly Mother (as the Holy Ghost), Jesus Christ or I gave to our ancient prophets concerning your great mission and role in these last days."

I was very pleased to have learned this truth from my Heavenly Father this morning! I know that this was given to me to also record in the Book of Raphael, for others to read and ponder. God knows all things, and even sees them from the beginning of man to the end of man, in this eternity. He weaves his promises and prophecies as he wishes into the words of the prophets, for testifying of his great understanding, and to help us gain greater faith in him.

I then realized that Heavenly Father yesterday referred to "more references" to Raphael as the latter-day Branch. I then thought of another reference, from my entry dated March 2, 2025 under Matthew 13:31-32.

In this entry, I record how I was the man who planted the very small mustard seeds that were given me by Heavenly Mother. These were planted literally in the garden areas of the New Jerusalem Eden area where the Celestial Temple is located. These grew or are growing into a very large bush or tree, where the birds of the air lodge. This symbolically means that I, Raphael, have been the one in Heavenly Parents' hands to build the New Jerusalem and the celestial temple. This established the Kingdom of Heaven on the physical earth, something that had to be done before the second coming of Jesus Christ, to prepare the way of his coming. The celestial birds of the air that lodge in the branches of this mustard tree refer to the celestial angels of God who minister in the New Jerusalem Celestial Temple. The actual mustard tree refers to me, Raphael, who planted this tree and created this land under the guidance of my Heavenly Parents. I also administer in the New Jerusalem Temple by bringing those chosen by Jesus Christ into the Church of the Firstborn, the celestial church into the kingdom of heaven. I am referred to as the Branch who does this action for everyone who come into this celestial church.

See also this same parable in Luke and Mark:

Luke 13:18-19 "Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble it?

It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it."

and Mark 4:30-32:
"And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?

It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:

But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it."

I now feel that the "more references" of Raphael as the Branch are JST Genesis 50:24 and Matthew 13:31-32. These both speak of the branch, or branches, both referring to the archangel Raphael and his mission in the latter-days. I feel confirmed that these are the references that Heavenly Father wanted me to add and clarify in the Book of Raphael!

_________________________________________

March 23-26, 2025
This morning, on March 23rd, I sought to be guided by Heavenly Father in what to read and study. I was led to my notes dated May 1-2, 2024 under Moses 3:6-9. I had written the following:

"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."

I felt that I was to find out more about the telestial and terrestrial waters that existed at that time, and to add or to correct something that I had written in the passage above.

Evening, March 23, 2025:
Today at my sacrament meeting, after I made my weekly covenant with my Father and Mother in Heaven, my Heavenly Father told me that they accepted my covenant, and would be with me with their Spirit and in their persons. After a pause, he spoke to me about what I had been studying that morning (see above). His explanation to me then continued at different times during that day and into the next three days. I have placed them all together below:

"Raphael, each time that we switched the soil, organic deposits and the rock layers from the telestial to the terrestrial physical earth, or back again, we also moved the physical waters and atmosphere with them, from the same realm and at the same time. What remained behind that wasn't switched were the rock foundations, or the underlying structure of the telestial and terrestrial earth.

The rock foundations remained after the molten earth had cooled, in the days that we started creating the physical telestial, terrestrial and celestial realms of the earth. After these three molten rock foundations cooled, in each of the telestial, terrestrial and celestial realms, the rest of the creation process proceeded in each realm, particular to that realm and according to our needs. I will now describe fully each time we adjusted and switched the physical telestial and terrestrial realms of the earth. I will not address the celestial realm creation except what happens at the end of the earth.

In the beginning day of creation, for the telestial and terrestrial realms of the earth, both contained a rock foundation covered with water, plus an atmosphere called air. The telestial contained telestial rock, telestial water, and telestial air. The terrestrial likewise contained all three terrestrial elements. These two realms were superimposed on each other. Each of these realms were also independent of the other. Later, when life came on either of these physical realms, life on one realm wasn't aware of what happened on the other realm. They were completely independent.

We brought forth life first upon the telestial realm. Our purpose was to create the rich soils, organic deposits on the earth like coal, and the dirt, mud and silt layers which turned into the rock layers. These layers would be gradually deposited over time above the rock foundations of the telestial earth. This was the era of dinosaurs and other large animals and large plants, both on the land and the waters.

In order to make the dry land appear in this first telestial creation, we brought two large masses above the northern pole of the earth and below the southern pole of the earth. These land masses were each larger than the moon and the same size. They also were created in both a telestial and terrestrial physical realm. In the telestial realm, we brought these two large telestial masses close to the poles of the telestial earth. This action pulled the waters away from the land by their gravitational force and settled most of the waters above the earth and below the earth. There was a single ocean on the telestial earth, but mostly a rock foundation that was now exposed to the air. This is where we placed our first life on the earth, the many plants and then animals which soon thrived on this new telestial land. These existed on the telestial earth for millions of years.

At this same time, on the terrestrial realm of the earth, the two large terrestrial land masses were also above and below the earth, but much further away so as to not appreciably affect the movement of the waters. These terrestrial large masses were independently controlled from the telestial large masses, so they could all be in different places on different realms at different times. On the terrestrial earth, the waters still covered all of the rock foundations of the terrestrial earth, in a paused state. There was no life on the terrestrial earth at this time.

When it was time for us to create life on the terrestrial earth and the terrestrial Garden of Eden, we first had the large land and water animals and some large plants die off on the telestial earth. We then switched the telestial soil, which had been gradually created over time, the telestial water and the telestial air, both which were also teeming with life, to the terrestrial realm. The terrestrial water and air, void of life, then became telestial water and air and switched to the telestial earth. The two large bodies above and below the earth also switched places, so that the telestial large body masses became terrestrial, and the terrestrial large body masses became telestial, preserving the locations of the newly switched waters above and below each realm of the earth. The terrestrial large bodies became telestial, so that they were further away from the earth and didn't pull the terrestrial waters towards them, allowing these switched waters to stay in place. The telestial waters which had life became terrestrial. All remaining life which was abundant in the telestial realm all became terrestrial life.

Our purpose in switching the elements of the telestial realm with the terrestrial was to now bring forth new life on the terrestrial earth, in preparation for the advent of man. The terrestrial earth now had the rich soil, organic matter and rock layers that had been created over a long time in the telestial realm. We then created the beautiful Garden of Eden wherein we finally placed Adam and Eve, our first physical children that my wife, your Heavenly Mother, and I bore.

The second time we did a switch between the telestial and terrestrial elements was at the time of the fall of man, when Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden of Eden. They left the terrestrial realm on the earth, and entered the mortal telestial realm. The soil and rock layers, waters and air, which all had life in them in the terrestrial realm, was then switched to the telestial earth. We also transformed from a terrestrial state to a telestial state most of the land and water animals to populate the new telestial earth. At that time, the terrestrial waters and terrestrial air covering the terrestrial earth, were both changed to telestial and were switched to cover the telestial rock foundations of the earth. The two large bodies above and below the earth switched places again, keeping the newly configured terrestrial earth mostly under water for the next 6,000 years. The newly switched two large telestial masses were again close to the north and south poles of the telestial earth, causing most of the newly switched waters to remain migrated towards those large bodies. These waters were mostly above and below the earth except for an east sea or ocean. The new telestial earth had all the soil, organic materials like coal, and the rock layers above its rock foundation.

The telestial earth continued in this way until the great flood at the time of Noah. When Noah, his family and the animals were all safely in the ark, we sent Nibiru to the telestial earth. Nibiru was a small star with both a telestial and terrestrial realm. It had a long elliptical orbit around your sun. The telestial Nibiru physical star came close to the earth and attracted the telestial large land masses above and below the earth. They attached to a location close to Nibiru, and exited with Nibiru in it's journey far away from the earth. Once these two large telestial land masses were departed, the waters above and below the telestial earth both receded back to their original location, to cover the entire earth with water. Noah and the occupants in the ark were kept safe while they floated above the waters. The entire telestial earth was covered with water, even like it was at the beginning of creation.

The telestial and terrestrial realms of the earth will switch again, the third time, at the beginning of the millennium when Jesus Christ comes in glory to the earth. At that future time, the telestial soil and rock layers, telestial water and telestial air that exist on your telestial earth will transfer to the terrestrial earth and become terrestrial entities. The water and air that now cover most of the terrestrial earth, will switch to become telestial water and air, and occupy an area above the rock foundation on the telestial earth. At that same time, Nibiru will return with the two large telestial land masses. These three large massive bodies will wreck havoc on the telestial earth due to their large gravitational forces and their proximity to the earth as they pass by, causing great earthquakes and convulsions. The two large telestial masses will reattach to the telestial earth, on the top and bottom, causing much of the waters on the physical telestial earth to quickly transfer to locations above and below the earth. Nibiru will exit and continue on its orbit away from the earth. Immediately after that switch, the physical telestial earth, with its water, air, foundation rock, and the two large bodies above and below the earth, will be burned up and destroyed at the second coming of Jesus Christ. All of these will be returned to elemental matter, which they were created from in the beginning before the creation of the earth. What then remains in the physical sphere of the earth will be the terrestrial and celestial physical realms of the earth, with all of their water, air, and two large terrestrial bodies, plus spirit telestial and terrestrial realms of the dead.

Before the burning of the telestial earth and elements, and at the time when the telestial large bodies will return to the telestial earth with Nibiru, the terrestrial large bodies will not switch, but will come from their locations further away to the north and south poles of the terrestrial earth. At the time of the switch of the telestial waters to terrestrial waters, the new terrestrial waters will be pulled towards these two large masses which are then closer to the earth. This will provide the terrestrial earth with a sea east, two large land masses above and below the earth, and newly transferred terrestrial soil, organic matter, and rock layers. In the process of this switch, the soils will be cleansed of all contamination and rejuvenated as they were in the beginning of man. This rejuvenation will be in fulfillment of the renewal of the earth in receiving its millennial paradisical glory (see Articles of Faith 10).

At the end of the millennium, the terrestrial earth will be consumed with fire. The terrestrial soil and rock layers, the terrestrial waters and terrestial air, and the two large terrestrial masses above and below the earth will all be destroyed and returned to elemental matter. During this time, the celestial temple will rise up above the earth while the terrestrial earth is consumed with fire. The previous telestial and terrestrial spirit realms of the earth will also be destroyed at that same time, leaving only a celestial earth, ready to die and be resurrected. Once resurrected, the celestial New Jerusalem Temple will descend to the celestial realm of the physical resurrected earth. It does not need to be resurrected since it was created from the resurrected celestial orb where your Heavenly Mother and I reside.

Raphael, what I have explained above are the times that we made or will make major changes to the telestial and terrestrial realms of the earth, by switching the telestial to terrestrial components on the earth."

I thanked my Heavenly Father for this clarification on this entire amazing and complex phenomenon! These switches of the soil/rock layers, water and air between the telestial and terrestrial realms on the earth, plus the two large masses above and below the earth, are unique ways that our Gods use to accomodate their children moving from one realm to another.

I have included some of my pertinent references to my newest understanding below. By reading these with a prayerful heart and open mind, the truths of all that I have written above will become more evident.

169F11, from Heavenly Mother: "Nibiru first came to the earth at the time of the great flood. When Noah shut the door on the ark, with eight people and the animals within, he saw Nibiru in the skies. This passing by the earth of Nibiru caused the fountains of the great deep (to be) broken up, and the windows of heaven (to be) opened."(Genesis 7:11) This worldwide flood came by the large bodies of water above the earth and below the earth to be released and add significantly more water to the current ocean, or east sea. (Moses 6:42, also see Genesis 1:7 where the firmament (the atmosphere around the earth) divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament. Nibiru's passing removed two large gravitational masses above and below the earth which had held the waters from coming on the earth. These bodies of large mass now accompany Nibiru on its journey around the sun. The large amount of water fully inundated the earth on its outer surface during the great flood. We restricted most of this water from entering into the inner earth, but some did enter, creating the inner seas on the northern and southern entrances. After the flood, the inner earth was opened for us to bring the tribes of Israel into it to be hid up until this day."

169F14-169F15, from Heavenly Mother: "The third pass of the Nibiru system will come soon to the earth. It will cause great cataclysmic events upon the earth. It has already come around the sun, and will make its near pass by the earth to bring about much change in the continents and earth's surface. This will initiate the movement of the continents to eventually come together, even as the earth was before it was divided in the days of Peleg. The two large masses that attached to Nibiru on its first pass by the earth (causing the great flood) will come back to their positions above and below the earth. Their gravitational pull will cause ocean waters to migrate to the north and south, leaving only a sea east, like it was in the beginning. The waters above and below the earth will prevent migration to or from the inner earth from that time forth.

When Nibiru leaves the solar system for its last encounter with earth for this eternity, it will no longer have the two large masses, for they will be left to remain above and below the earth, even until the earth is burned with fire and dies at the end of the earth. Then they will depart forever, and the earth will resurrect as a celestial body."

169F20-169G3, from Heavenly Mother: "Evening–I came tonight to the celestial ocean on the hill where I was this morning. Heavenly Mother was standing on the hill, facing the ocean. She looked out over the ocean and spoke: 'Raphael, look!'

I looked over the ocean and saw the waters quickly retreat, so I saw only the bottom of the ocean for miles, or as far as I could see, and no ocean water!

'Raphael, the volume of the waters on your earth were all created in the beginning of her physical creation. We have commanded the oceans to retreat so that there is bare land, or to flood over the land so it becomes an ocean. We do this to meet our objectives in bringing forth new civilizations and in destroying the wicked.

Raphael, hold my hand now!'

I came close to her and held her hand. I then saw the ocean waters return with great speed and then overcome the hill we were on with water, and completely immerse both of us in very deep water!

Heavenly Mother turned and looked upon me. She raised her free hand above her head and we were instantly on the hill, with the ocean below us, even as we were at the beginning of tonight.

She spoke: 'Raphael, the waters that engulfed us are like what happened during the great flood in Noah's day. All of the dry earth was suddenly and quickly inundated with a large volume of rushing water, released from the pull of gravity from the two large masses above the earth and below the earth. The ark rose quickly and stayed afloat upon the waters, and a new civilization began anew with eight people.

In your day, with the third and final passing of Nibiru by the earth, great changes will also come. The entire coasts of the ocean will change, and the bulk of the waters will again return above and below the earth, for the two large masses will return and pull with gravity much of the waters away from the earth's outer surface. This will be as it was in the beginning.'

I asked my Heavenly Mother about these two masses that will return with Nibiru. I asked if they are smaller or larger than the moon.

(I was then interrupted, and continued my conversation in my morning prayer)

G. R's Personal Journal Entry, Sunday, August 16, 2020

Heavenly Mother replied: 'Raphael, the masses on top and on bottom of the earth are the same size and mass, and are larger than the moon. They are held in place above and below the earth by our power and by the laws of nature of the telestial and terrestrial worlds, not readily known by man. Since they are very close to the earth, they pull the earth from both its north and south poles, from its axis of rotation, thereby not affecting the earth's spin rotation or her orbit around the sun. The sole purpose of these two large masses is to pull, by their gravitational force, the excess waters above the firmament (atmosphere around the earth) or below the firmament, so that there is more land area and a smaller single east ocean. Like Nibiru, the two celestial bodies respond to our command, whether to attach to the earth or to attach to Nibiru on its travel around the sun.

There is an attractive gravitational force with celestial astronomical bodies, and also a repelling gravitational force, depending upon the electric or magnetic orientation of that large celestial body. Along the axis of your earth, there is a repelling force for large celestial bodies. This is the way these dipole large masses are held in place without "falling" to the earth. It is like a strong magnet that may both attract and attach to another magnet, or repel that same magnet, depending upon the poles they face. Such is a similar case with these two celestial bodies and the earth. They are all three like strong magnets that attract and repel each other. When along the earth's axis, these are held in place by the effects of these laws of large mass bodies, not yet understood by man.

While in place above and below the earth, these two dipole large bodies still exert from their own masses a strong gravitational pull sufficient to draw ocean water up from the earth towards the north dipole mass, and down to the south dipole mass. This will be the state during the millennium, and this was the configuration also before the great flood.'"

169H2-169H17, from Heavenly Father: "Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, you have received a lot of revelation of new things in the recent past. What you have written in your journal since your last post 168 is all true and was given to you by us, your Heavenly Parents, except for a simple phrase error I will tell you of. We are pleased that you have been in a state to receive and made yourself available to be with us.

Do you have any questions about what you received that we could clarify?'

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!"

191F13-191F23, from Heavenly Mother: "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.

I was in my garden today and listened to events caused by Nibiru, a binary star that will come close to earth and cause the great earthquake in the New Jerusalem area. I felt that Nibiru would first come to the terrestrial foundations in the terrestrial realms, and then later again to the telestial mortal earth. I would like to have this also confirmed.

I came tonight to the beautiful desert oasis where I hoped to meet my Heavenly Mother. I knelt on the sand and faced the water. I asked for my Heavenly Mother to come to me.

She appeared on the shore, and walked on the sand a few feet to me. I was very happy to see her.

She 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.

This afternoon you asked me whether Nibiru would come separately to the terrestrial physical foundation of the earth. I confirmed to you this was accurate. The binary star of Nibiru also has a terrestrial physical realm and a telestial physical realm. The terrestrial physical realm of the star will sweep by the terrestrial foundations of your physical earth. It will cause the devastating earthquake in that terrestrial realm, preparatory to your arrival to the site of the New Jerusalem.

Those on the telestial earth will not see the terrestrial binary star of Nibiru coming to the earth at that time. They will not know that a great earthquake subsequently occurred in that realm, for the veil will prevent them from seeing the star or feeling the tremors.

Later on, the telestial physical star of Nibiru will come near the earth and wreak havoc on the telestial mortal earth. This event is what we were referring to in some of our revelations to you. When this star comes in the telestial realm towards the earth, it will have no effect on the terrestrial earth, for that is in a higher realm.

Finally, when the telestial mortal earth is destroyed and removed from your Mother Earth, it will not affect the higher terrestrial mortal earth. Those living on the earth in that terrestrial realm will continue living in that higher sphere into the millennium.'

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for responding to my questions, and for providing clear answers. I marveled at God's ingenuity in working back and forth between the telestial and terrestrial physical realms on the earth and Nibiru. I said to my Heavenly Mother how glad I was to be again in her presence tonight."

191G1-191G14, from Heavenly Father: "During my sleep last night I grappled with wondering how Nibiru could come twice in a physical state near the earth, the first time in a terrestrial realm and the second time in a telestial realm. This was confusing to me. I hope I can get my mind to understand this and how it can all work.

I came to the physical foundations of the terrestrial earth in the air above the site of the New Jerusalem. There was sunshine reflecting upon the terrestrial waters below me. I then lowered myself with my intention and touched the water with my foot and splashed it around. It was physical water, like I was accustomed to, for I could feel it being wet on my foot. I withdrew my foot and came above the water up into the air. I could then feel my one wet foot becoming cooler than the other from evaporation of the water, just like would occur on my physical mortal earth.

I then was about 100 feet or so above the water in the air. I knelt in the air and asked for my Heavenly Father to come to me, and to answer my questions from last night.

He immediately appeared before me, smiling and enveloped in a bright white light. I was sure he would clear up my confusion. I was very glad to be before him, and in his presence.

Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, I wish to answer your questions this morning. Whenever we create a spiritual realm on a planet, or an orb, or on a star, that entity has a distinct way it may appear in each of those realms. When it appears in one realm to one of its inhabitants, or to another planet, orb or star, it can only appear in that realm. It does not have the power to replicate itself. For example, we created your earth in the beginning with four distinct realms: the telestial, the terrestrial, the celestial, and finally our highest celestial realm where only Gods may come, or those whom they bring. These four realms were at first created spiritually, when the earth's spirit creation occurred, and then physically when the earth's physical creation occurred.

When Adam and Eve were born on earth by your Heavenly Mother, they were birthed in the highest celestial realm where your Heavenly Mother and I dwell. When they were young children, we brought them into the terrestrial physical realm of the earth, into the garden of Eden that we had prepared. They grew up in this beautiful environment until they were adults. We were with them frequently as parents are with their children on your mortal earth. We let them play together and explore in their new terrestrial environment.

When I cast out our beloved children from the garden of Eden, I transferred them into a lone and dreary wilderness of the telestial physical earth. This telestial physical earth had been previously created with barren land, water and air, all in a telestial physical state with no life living on its surface. This is similar to how the terrestrial physical earth now appears. As other terrestrial creations also fell, and transferred into a telestial state of being, they too became mortal as part of the telestial earth. Being mortal, those that now were in the telestial mortal world had the sureness of death sometime in their future. On the other hand, the terrestrial physical earth then became void of life, for all life had fallen into the other lower realm. We kept all of the foundational elements of land, water and air in the terrestrial physical realm of the earth, even as we are in now.

Similarly, when we created Nibiru, a binary star in your solar system, we created it physically with a telestial realm, a terrestrial realm, and a highest celestial realm. There was no need to create a celestial realm, for we never intended it to ever enter into that realm. We always create a highest celestial realm on every one of our planets, orbs or stars so that we may have a place to dwell or visit when we come to them, and remain hidden for any reason.

We created a separate telestial and terrestrial realm so that we could direct Nibiru to come to the earth in either of these two realms. We can have Nibiru come around the sun in either of these realms, and not be seen in the other realm. This allows us to hide Nibiru's presence from the telestial inhabitants of the earth or from the terrestrial inhabitants, if we desire. When we wanted Nibiru to come into the terrestrial realm and not the telestial, it could pass by that same realm of the earth and be seen in the skies above, and have gravitational pull in that terrestrial realm, but not to be seen or noticed on the telestial earth. Nibiru acts as we direct it, or have it directed by our servants. It may appear in either the terrestrial physical realm or the telestial realm.

On the first pass by the earth, in these last days, we will direct Nibiru to come by the earth in a near miss pass as a terrestrial star. It will enter into the earth's terrestrial realm and cause the devastating earthquake in that realm only, and not even be seen or noticed on the telestial mortal earth. This pass of Nibiru will happen just before your arrival to the site of the New Jerusalem below us where you will create, by my power and that of the earth herself, the island of the New Jerusalem.

The first arrival of Nibiru will be seen by the northern tribes, for they will be at that time on the barren western section of the promised land in the terrestrial realm of the earth. The earthquake will elevate more of the promised land in that realm and cause a division of two halves of the land mass, with water remaining over the New Jerusalem site, even as it is below us now. The earthquake will also sink most of the highway that the tribes will have walked on southward to the barren land of promise. We are leaving the northernmost portion of the highway as a monument for future generations.

The second pass of Nibiru near the earth will be in the telestial realms. We will ask Nibiru to come as a telestial physical star this second time. As such, it will only be seen and felt in the earth's telestial realm. It will cause destruction to the telestial mortal earth and its inhabitants, even as we have previously told you in your past posts. When Nibiru passes by the earth this second time, the New Jerusalem and its inhabitants will not be affected, for they are all in their terrestrial mortal realm of the earth.

Raphael, these mysteries have been planned by your Heavenly Mother and me from the beginning of this eternity. This constitutes part of our strange work, and our strange act in these last days. You can see that whatever we may wish to do, in orchestrating anything for our creations, we may do so as long as we are within the laws of each kingdom that has been established. We know all of the laws, and have a perspective where we may plan and do these great events to bring about our eternal purposes.'

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his wondrous explanation to me this morning! I said I felt the truth of all he spoke as his light and Spirit enlightened me. I told him how privileged I felt to receive his truths and mysteries!"

191H2-191H17, from Heavenly Mother: "She immediately appeared, like she was waiting for me. I felt so pleased to be before her this morning! She spoke: 'Raphael, over the last two days your Heavenly Father and I talked to you about Nibiru coming twice to your earth, once in the terrestrial realm, and lastly to the telestial realm. This still may be difficult for you to understand. However, we are following the laws of these kingdoms in having Nibiru come to one realm and not to the other." (see also 191H2-191H24 for more information on God's use of the realms of stars and planets).

This morning as I was getting ready to leave on a trip, I prayed to my Heavenly Father. When I searched the scriptures, I was led to read the following:

D&C 84:26-28:
"And the lesser priesthood continued, which priesthood holdeth the key of the ministering of angels and the preparatory gospel;

Which gospel is the gospel of repentance and of baptism, and the remission of sins, and the law of carnal commandments, which the Lord in his wrath caused to continue with the house of Aaron among the children of Israel until John, whom God raised up, being filled with the Holy Ghost from his mother’s womb.

For he was baptized while he was yet in his childhood, and was ordained by the angel of God at the time he was eight days old unto this power, to overthrow the kingdom of the Jews, and to make straight the way of the Lord before the face of his people, to prepare them for the coming of the Lord, in whose hand is given all power."

As I was pondering these verses, the voice of my Heavenly Father came into my mind, and spoke these words:

"Raphael, you are the angel of God who came to John, the son of Zacharias, when John was only eight days old. At that time you appeared to John and both of his parents, Zacharias and Elizabeth, and said that you were an angel of God, sent forth from the presence of the Father, to ordain their son John to the priesthood, and commission him in his great work that he would do in his life.

I speak this to you today, for you will be dedicating the grave of your mother tomorrow. Be bold, and say what I inspire you to speak. She and your father are my elect children, and will one day both be called by Jesus Christ to come to you to be brought into the Church of the Firstborn. You will be fully aware of this great future event in your conscious mind. When you dedicate her grave tomorrow, give her and your father my promise of rising in the resurrection of the just, and being clothed with immortality and eternal lives."

I felt so very grateful for my Father's message to me today! I have been praying over this recently, wondering what to speak during the dedication of her grave. I feel so blessed to receive this revelation today!

I then asked who baptized John when in his childhood. Heavenly Father then spoke this to me:

"Raphael, after you ordained John to the Aaronic Priesthood, and after he was commissioned, you commanded Zacharias to baptize John once John turned eight years old. You told him that the order of the priesthood of Aaron, that he, Zacharias, held, already had the authority to baptize, even though this practice hadn't been continued at that time. The baptism was to be a full immersion in water, in the name of the Messiah who would soon come to the earth. Zacharias later baptized John when he became eight years old"

My family and I have returned back to our home in Utah, after traveling to my mother's funeral. The memorial service at the grave and later at my sister's house went perfectly. I did exactly what my Heavenly Father asked me to do in dedicating the grave. I dedicated the grave to be a hallowed place, protected and secure. I blessed my mother and father to come forth by the power of Jesus Christ in the morning of the First Resurrection. the Resurrection of the Just, to live in immortality in a heavenly state. I blessed her and my father to receive eternal lives, living an peace and happiness forever.

On Sunday, my immediate family who was with me, attended church at a local LDS ward. I bore my testimony of the revelation I had received from my Heavenly Father earlier that week concerning what I should say at the dedication of my mother's grave. I also said that I had seen my mother with my father, right after she died, in the terrestrial realm of the dead (the spirit paradise where the faithful go), which I had been taught was only for those who had been baptized with proper priesthood authority in mortality (see my notes in D&C 25:1-3 dated March 9, 2025). I wondered about this, and immediately there came in my mind this passage from the Doctrine and Covenants 137:5-9:

"I saw Father Adam and Abraham; and my father and my mother; my brother Alvin, that has long since slept;

And marveled how it was that he had obtained an inheritance in that kingdom, seeing that he had departed this life before the Lord had set his hand to gather Israel the second time, and had not been baptized for the remission of sins.

Thus came the voice of the Lord unto me, saying: All who have died without a knowledge of this gospel, who would have received it if they had been permitted to tarry, shall be heirs of the celestial kingdom of God;

Also all that shall die henceforth without a knowledge of it, who would have received it with all their hearts, shall be heirs of that kingdom;

For I, the Lord, will judge all men according to their works, according to the desire of their hearts."

Joseph saw his brother Alvin in the celestial kingdom, even though he hadn't been baptized, for he had died before the true baptism had been restored upon the earth. Likewise, my mother was with my father in the paradise of God. My father had been baptized for the dead by me (he died much earlier than my mother), but my mother hadn't yet received the baptism ordinance. I then knew that she would have accepted the truth and entry into the Church of Christ, through baptism, had she had the opportunity to receive it in her mortal life, just like Alvin Smith's situation. I also felt that I could not judge whether or not she had the opportunity to receive, like I did, for that is for God to determine.

During my time on my trip, I was given the understanding from Heavenly Father that both my mother and father on earth, now had the weaknesses of the flesh removed from them which they possessed during mortality. These weaknesses had been given them by God as part of their earthly test. See Ether 12:27:

"And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them."

I also was told that the full memory of my earthly parent's premortal lives had already been restored to both of them. This too was surprising to me! I felt that both of them now had responsibility to guide and protect their posterity on earth, as guardian angels.

I rejoiced at all of this new revelation that I received during my short trip to the funeral of my mother!

April 2, 2025
This morning I prayed where I should study in the scriptures. I was led to D&C 93:37-30:

"Light and truth forsake that evil one.

Every spirit of man was innocent in the beginning; and God having redeemed man from the fall, men became again, in their infant state, innocent before God.

And that wicked one cometh and taketh away light and truth, through disobedience, from the children of men, and because of the tradition of their fathers."

I then thought of our recent trip to my mother's funeral. I thought of those, our children and relatives, who were open to the Spirit of the Lord, and those whom I observed were more closed to the Spirit. I observed some, even in my immediate family, who had rejected some of the light and truth from God, and were more filled with the spirit of the devil, and the manipulative and evil ways of the world. I felt I could only observe, and be nice and generous myself, and kindly towards them, but they were not warm, grateful or kind to my wife or me.

As I searched the scriptures further, and read this passage in 123F3-122F18, which my Heavenly Father spoke of the Spirit of God and light, I heard the voice of my Father in Heaven again this morning speak to me:

"Raphael, my son, your children are now all adults and have full choice to choose whom they wish to follow, either the Spirit of the Lord which is full of light and truth, or the spirit of the devil. We observe how your loved ones may stray from the Spirit of God, and follow more the ways of the world. You have no power to steer them back to the light that a few have rejected. One of your children is married to another who has influenced them to love darkness more than light. They put forth a facade of being religious, attending the LDS temple frequently, but they are losing more and more light by listening to the whisperings of the devil.

Each of our beloved children that come to earth, that are now adults and fully may choose their own path, are influenced towards the light, or listen to the subtle promptings of the devil. They may deceive themselves as they follow Satan, and gradually lose more light and truth. They also may reject the darkness, and follow the light, gradually being more filled with the Spirit of the Lord. This is exactly what we wish them to choose, the good or the evil, for they are fully given their agency by us to choose and act. This is the mortal probation of man that they will follow, either the light or the darkness.

During your mother's funeral and reunion, you observed that there were all varieties of our children, your relatives, who chose to act in so many different ways. We also give our children weaknesses, and see how they press forward towards the light, and struggle to come closer to us. Others reject the light, but each chooses their own path.

You have asked what you may do to assist your own children. It is my will that you observe what they do, and back away from those who reject the light and truth, and mingle more and more with those who are loving and kind, who accept our Spirit. You love all of your children, but cannot be around those so much who have gradually rejected more and more of our light. For yourself, you have chosen to act in loving, kind, and generous ways to all, and have sought to be filled with more and more light and truth from us, your Gods. This is very pleasing to us! Your example with your children will be the greatest influence you may give and show of one who loves the Lord and keeps our commandments."

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his gentle words to me this morning. I will continue to do my best to seek his face, and to follow always what he and Heavenly Mother may prompt me to act. I will try to not judge my own children, but accept them just as they are, even if they choose darkness over light.

As I was reading in Abraham chapters 1 and 2, I felt strongly that I was the angel who appeared to Abraham in the following verse:

Abraham 1:15
"And as they lifted up their hands upon me, that they might offer me up and take away my life, behold, I lifted up my voice unto the Lord my God, and the Lord hearkened and heard, and he filled me with the vision of the Almighty, and the angel of his presence stood by me, and immediately unloosed my bands;"

The voice of the Father then came into my mind, and spoke the following to me:

"Raphael, you were the angel send from my presence to unloose the bands of Abraham as recorded in this scripture. You also destroyed the altar with the gods of the land, and smote the priest, according to my command, as recorded in Abraham 1:20:

"Behold, Potiphar’s Hill was in the land of Ur, of Chaldea. And the Lord broke down the altar of Elkenah, and of the gods of the land, and utterly destroyed them, and smote the priest that he died; and there was great mourning in Chaldea, and also in the court of Pharaoh; which Pharaoh signifies king by royal blood."

It was after you saved Abraham from death, that Jehovah, my Beloved Son, spoke to Abraham to his mind, through the power of the Spirit. Abraham heard his voice and obeyed him in all things."

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his revelation to me this morning! I asked why I had been commissioned to be his angel who appeared to many of the righteous in the past, even before I was born in mortality. Here is his response to me:

"Raphael, when your Heavenly Mother and I chose our male archangels, we selected you, our fourth born son in the spirit of this eternity, to be the third archangel. Your older brother Michael was to be Adam, or the first man on earth in the flesh, and your older brother Gabriel was to live during the time of the great flood. You were to live in the last days, in the days of transition between the telestial earth and the terrestrial earth, in the days of the return of our Beloved Son in his glorious second coming. We also commissioned you to be our ministering archangel to our posterity up to the time of your birth in mortality. In that important role, you were sent from our presence to our faithful children on earth, at different times, according to our will. You always did exactly as we commanded you. You carried with you our power to fulfill our words.

In the case of Abraham, you came forth in bright glory from the heavens, and immediately smote the priest of Elkenah who was about to slay Abraham. You destroyed the altar and loosed the bands of Abraham. Once you were done, you stepped aside, and stood while the voice of my Beloved Son, even Jehovah, spoke to Abraham, giving him direction and great promises. When he was finished, you departed the side of Abraham, leaving him to fulfill the words of Jehovah."

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his additional revelation to me this morning! I feel very honored and humbled to have received this premortal commission as his archangel, to relay messages to those in the flesh up to when I was to be born in mortality.

Today I did energy work for my son and my wife, as I frequently do. I did God's Loving Reset (GLR) and God's Loving Breath (GLB) healing gifts for them respectively (see my "5 Gold Coins" link here for the names of the five healing gifts that they had revealed to me). I have always acted as a conduit with one of my Heavenly Parents or Jesus Christ when doing this energy work for them, which I also did today.

Today I also asked for my Heavenly Parents or Jesus to do a healing gift for me. I ask for this favor frequently, and often receive the GLR healing gift from them. This healing gift helps me in any way that they desire, in my mortal physical body or spirit. However, today Heavenly Father indicated that he and Heavenly Mother would do no healing gift for me. This had never happened in the past for me, so I wondered what would then happen.

As I pondered what would happen, my Heavenly Father spoke to me. Here are his words:

"Raphael, your Heavenly Mother and I will not be doing a healing blessing for you. Instead, we will be completing the celestial translation that we have initiated some years ago. You have been translated, but not to the full extent that we wish you to be. After our blessing to you, you will be 100% translated to a full celestial translation."

I then visualized myself kneeling before my Heavenly Parents, in my mind's eye. Heavenly Father then came behind me and laid his hands upon my head. Heavenly Mother raised up in the air a few feet in front of me, and beamed a bright arch of light onto the top of my head where Heavenly Father's hands had just been placed. Here are the words of Heavenly Father:

"Raphael, we bless you to be completely and totally translated to a celestial translation from this moment on. As such, you will have a much clearer view of your Heavenly Mother, Jesus Christ, and me, whenever we come before you in our celestial realms. You will be able to view us much more deeply in our eternity eyes, and to see our faces more distinctly. You will not hear us audibly, but will have a more abundant blessing of the Spirit when we speak to you, for our words and thoughts will flow into your heart and mind more clearly and with greater power. We will always be beside you, so that at any time you or we wish, we will be immediately before you in our celestial realms.

Raphael, your merged mind will also be clearer, but will still be dampened to some degree until you arrive at the New Jerusalem in your mortal body. If you pray to us, we will reveal to you how you are ministering for us among our children, in the other realms of glory. You are usually replicated multiple times in fulfilling our work. If you wish to see what you are doing in any of these assignments, we will gladly show you in your mind's eye, when you are in a meditative state. Once you are in the New Jerusalem, you will have a quicker and more full access to your multiple replicated selves in all of your work.

Raphael, I again promise you eternal life and your own exaltation! We know that you will always obey our words and promptings, and never act on your own in our work without our approval and direction.

You will have a greater measure of the Spirit and the Holy Ghost with you. You will speak with the tongue of angels (see 2 Nephi 32:3). You will find that you have greater confidence and power, now that you have this extra endowment from us, your Heavenly Parents.

We greatly love you, and will work our marvelous work and a wonder through you in these last days. We will order all things for your good, and answer your every prayer so that you know our mind and will.

Amen!"

Heavenly Father lifted his hands and came next to Heavenly Mother. Heavenly Mother's beam of light stopped, and they were both smiling broadly. I felt so humble and ever so grateful for this choice blessing and experience before them this day! I thanked them profusely for such a remarkable experience!

April 6, 2025
This morning in my morning prayer, I remembered that today is the birthday and near the death day of Jesus Christ, his great atonement, and glorious resurrection (see D&C 20:1).

After a prayer, I felt to study in the scriptures. I settled upon Joseph Smith Matthew 1:20:
"And except those days should be shortened, there should none of their flesh be saved; but for the elect’s sake, according to the covenant, those days shall be shortened."

I read this scripture with a new twist this morning. I know that all mankind who are wicked and telestial in nature will be removed from the telestial earth when it burns with fire at the second coming of Jesus Christ. However, the elect of God, those who are good people who are terrestrial or celestial in nature, have been chosen of the Father and Mother to move into the terrestrial millennial day. These will not be destroyed. These are the elect whom Jesus referred to in this verse.

"According to the covenant" in this verse refers to a portion of the elect who will move forward into the millennial world. These covenant elect are those who will be chosen by Jesus Christ himself, who are selected among the broader group of the elect, to be admitted into the celestial Church of the Firstborn. They will come into the celestial realm on the mortal earth, into the land of Eden, and come to the celestial temple. When they arrive on a given day, I, Raphael the archangel of God, will open the temple doors and call forth the names of those chosen by Jesus Christ for that time. They will enter in through the north door, and will come with me into the south end of the temple, into the font room. Here Oriphiel and I will administer the waters of separation ordinance to them, and record their names in the Lamb's Book of Life, guaranteeing them of eternal life and exaltation! This is the covenant of the Father to his chosen elect, spoken of in this verse (see also D&C 1:22 regarding the everlasting covenant).

These elect will have been chosen, called up, and soon will be anointed by the angels in their initiatory temple work, preparatory to their eternal endowment and the entering the presence of the Father and Mother, all done in that glorious celestial temple (see 107A3-107A8). This all comprises the covenant of the Father and Mother that our glorious Gods will extend to these faithful elect.

April 7-8, 2025
Since yesterday I have studied and pondered the following scripture:

2 Nephi 3:5-13,24
"5 Wherefore, Joseph truly saw our day. And he obtained a promise of the Lord, that out of the fruit of his loins the Lord God would raise up a righteous branch unto the house of Israel; not the Messiah, but a branch which was to be broken off, nevertheless, to be remembered in the covenants of the Lord that the Messiah should be made manifest unto them in the latter days, in the spirit of power, unto the bringing of them out of darkness unto light—yea, out of hidden darkness and out of captivity unto freedom.

6 For Joseph truly testified, saying: A seer shall the Lord my God raise up, who shall be a choice seer unto the fruit of my loins.

7 Yea, Joseph truly said: Thus saith the Lord unto me: A choice seer will I raise up out of the fruit of thy loins; and he shall be esteemed highly among the fruit of thy loins. And unto him will I give commandment that he shall do a work for the fruit of thy loins, his brethren, which shall be of great worth unto them, even to the bringing of them to the knowledge of the covenants which I have made with thy fathers.

8 And I will give unto him a commandment that he shall do none other work, save the work which I shall command him. And I will make him great in mine eyes; for he shall do my work.

9 And he shall be great like unto Moses, whom I have said I would raise up unto you, to deliver my people, O house of Israel.

10 And Moses will I raise up, to deliver thy people out of the land of Egypt.

11 But a seer will I raise up out of the fruit of thy loins; and unto him will I give power to bring forth my word unto the seed of thy loins—and not to the bringing forth my word only, saith the Lord, but to the convincing them of my word, which shall have already gone forth among them.

12 Wherefore, the fruit of thy loins shall write; and the fruit of the loins of Judah shall write; and that which shall be written by the fruit of thy loins, and also that which shall be written by the fruit of the loins of Judah, shall grow together, unto the confounding of false doctrines and laying down of contentions, and establishing peace among the fruit of thy loins, and bringing them to the knowledge of their fathers in the latter days, and also to the knowledge of my covenants, saith the Lord.

13 And out of weakness he shall be made strong, in that day when my work shall commence among all my people, unto the restoring thee, O house of Israel, saith the Lord.

24 And there shall rise up one mighty among them, who shall do much good, both in word and in deed, being an instrument in the hands of God, with exceeding faith, to work mighty wonders, and do that thing which is great in the sight of God, unto the bringing to pass much restoration unto the house of Israel, and unto the seed of thy brethren."

In this scripture, Lehi taught his son Joseph, and gave insights on the mission of Raphael, Joseph Smith the prophet, and Moses, all who were prophesied by Joseph in Egypt. See also my notes in Genesis 48:9-20 dated February 7, 2025 about the blessing of Israel upon Ephraim. Heavenly Father spoke of both Joseph Smith the prophet and Raphael, and their critical missions in the last days.

After pondering these verses, and feeling assurance that there were hidden gems in these verses that spoke of the mission of Raphael, Heavenly Father then spoke to me these words:

"Raphael, my son, your Heavenly Mother and I had chosen you and your mission of Raphael even while you were still only an intelligence, even before she birthed you as our fourth spirit son of this eternity! We had planned in detail your life and mission, and chose to have you hidden in the last days until our revealing. We have inspired the prophets to speak of you and your mighty mission in their words, hidden in plain sight in a way that those who would read their words would not fully understand the hidden meaning of what they would say.

One of these prophets was Joseph in Egypt. Although you do not have the exact words of Joseph that he wrote, Lehi read them in the brass plates and spoke the essential portions of them to his son Joseph, as recorded in the Book of Mormon in the verses above.

There are four sections of Lehi's words that refer to your latter-day mission as Raphael in 2 Nephi chapter 3:

1. Section 1, verse 5, speaking of the branch
2. Section 2, verses 6-11, speaking of a choice seer
3. Section 3, verses 12-13, speaking of the records written by Judah and Joseph
4. Section 4, verse 24, speaking of one mighty among them in the last days

I will address each of these while repeating again the verses below, with my comments given in parenthesis:

Section 1, verse 5:
"Wherefore, Joseph truly saw our day (including the last days when you would live in mortality, Raphael). And he obtained a promise of the Lord, that out of the fruit of his loins the Lord God would raise up a righteous branch unto the house of Israel (there were two prophesies of Joseph which we have carefully hid from the view of those in these latter-days: One prophecy was for a branch to be broken off and displaced to the promised land. This was to be Lehi's seed, which Lehi referred to in this verse, and partially combined with the second prophecy of a branch. The second prophecy was that of another branch of Joseph who would grow up in that promised land to where Lehi moved, even in the last days. This righteous branch would be Raphael, even the Branch spoken of in the Bible by our prophets. This righteous Branch would be of the loins of Joseph through his son Ephraim.); not the Messiah, but a branch which was to be broken off, nevertheless, to be remembered in the covenants of the Lord that the Messiah should be made manifest unto them in the latter days, in the spirit of power, unto the bringing of them out of darkness unto light—yea, out of hidden darkness and out of captivity unto freedom. (Both branches would be visited by the Messiah. Jesus Christ came to the seed of Lehi as recorded in 3 Nephi. The Branch of Joseph, even Raphael, was also visited by the Messiah, Jesus Christ, which has happened to you multiple times Raphael as early as 2012. You came out of spiritual darkness unto the light of our abundant revelations. This did not happen to the branch of Lehi's seed. This was all done in the "spirit of power" to the Branch, even to Raphael. As such, those who would read Raphael's record would also come out of "darkness unto light—yea, out of hidden darkness and out of captivity unto freedom")"

Section 2. Verses 6-11
"For Joseph truly testified, saying: A seer shall the Lord my God raise up, who shall be a choice seer unto the fruit of my loins. (This prophecy of Joseph in Egypt was also a double prophecy, which he understood but which Lehi did not understand. Joseph's prophecy of a seer was really a prophecy of two seers in the last days.)

Yea, Joseph truly said: Thus saith the Lord unto me: A choice seer will I raise up out of the fruit of thy loins; and he shall be esteemed highly among the fruit of thy loins. And unto him will I give commandment that he shall do a work for the fruit of thy loins, his brethren, which shall be of great worth unto them, even to the bringing of them to the knowledge of the covenants which I have made with thy fathers. (Joseph Smith the seer fulfilled this prophecy. However, it will also be fulfilled in you, Raphael, when your records are read and studied by the faithful. Our revelations to you are great, and will also bring "them to the knowledge of the covenants which I have made with thy fathers". These covenants that we have revealed to you complete the covenants that we revealed to the prophet Joseph Smith, for they are greater. These latter covenants promise our faithful of eternal life and exaltation, the greatest covenants that we make with our children.)

And I will give unto him a commandment that he shall do none other work, save the work which I shall command him. And I will make him great in mine eyes; for he shall do my work. (This verse refers both to the work that both seers do, both Joseph Smith and Raphael.)

And he (both Joseph Smith and Raphael) shall be great like unto Moses, whom I have said I would raise up unto you, to deliver my people, O house of Israel.

And Moses will I raise up, to deliver thy people out of the land of Egypt.

But a seer will I raise up out of the fruit of thy loins; and unto him will I give power to bring forth my word unto the seed of thy loins—and not to the bringing forth my word only, saith the Lord, but to the convincing them of my word, which shall have already gone forth among them. (Both Joseph Smith and Raphael fulfill this prophecy. For Joseph Smith, the word that has already gone forth among them was the Bible. For Raphael, the word that has already gone forth among them includes the Bible, the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants, the Pearl of Great Price, and the Joseph Smith Inspired Translation of the Bible.)"

Section 3. Verses 12-13
"But a seer will I raise up out of the fruit of thy loins; and unto him will I give power to bring forth my word unto the seed of thy loins—and not to the bringing forth my word only, saith the Lord, but to the convincing them of my word, which shall have already gone forth among them. (see my comments above in verse 11.)

Wherefore, the fruit of thy loins shall write; and the fruit of the loins of Judah shall write; and that which shall be written by the fruit of thy loins, and also that which shall be written by the fruit of the loins of Judah, shall grow together, unto the confounding of false doctrines and laying down of contentions, and establishing peace among the fruit of thy loins, and bringing them to the knowledge of their fathers in the latter days, and also to the knowledge of my covenants, saith the Lord. (Both the records of Joseph Smith and Raphael constitute the records of the fruit of the loins of Judah. The greater record is that of Raphael, for this record consists of my revelations that have never been revealed to man on the earth before, and are very great. It is this record of Raphael that will confound false doctrines and lay down of contentions, to "establishing peace among the fruit of thy loins, and bringing them to the knowledge of their fathers in the latter days, and also to the knowledge of my covenants, saith the Lord".)

And out of weakness he shall be made strong, in that day when my work shall commence among all my people, unto the restoring thee, O house of Israel, saith the Lord. (Both Joseph Smith and Raphael were very weak before they would be made strong.)"

Section 4. Verse 24
"And there shall rise up one mighty among them, who shall do much good, both in word and in deed, being an instrument in the hands of God, with exceeding faith, to work mighty wonders, and do that thing which is great in the sight of God, unto the bringing to pass much restoration unto the house of Israel, and unto the seed of thy brethren. (This is a direct reference only to Raphael. One of the key words is "mighty", for you will yet work mighty wonders, and do that which is great in the sight of God. You have already established the New Jerusalem and its celestial temple, founded the Church of the Firstborn, and will administer for each of the faithful elect the waters of separation ordinance in the New Jerusalem temple, thus bringing them into that celestial church forever, with the promise of eternal life and exaltation! In addition, you, Raphael, have the keys of the gathering of Israel, along with John the Beloved, which you both now exercise in fulfilling the gathering Israel from the ends of the earth. The keys of the gathering of Israel which Joseph Smith holds were never envisioned to complete this gathering, rather they were to begin the gathering. See also your notes in D&C 85:78.)"

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his remarkable words which flowed into me quickly and without restraint. I feel the Spirit of God in abundance, and the assurance that this was truly from my Heavenly Father, and not from me, a mortal man. Oh, I feel so enlightened and sure of what I have written! I am so grateful for such rich revelations!

This morning, when seeking to know what my Heavenly Father wanted me to study, I came upon these verses in D&C 42 and 104:

D&C 42:14-17
"And the Spirit shall be given unto you by the prayer of faith; and if ye receive not the Spirit ye shall not teach.

And all this ye shall observe to do as I have commanded concerning your teaching, until the fulness of my scriptures is given.

And as ye shall lift up your voices by the Comforter, ye shall speak and prophesy as seemeth me good;

For, behold, the Comforter knoweth all things, and beareth record of the Father and of the Son."

D&C 104:58-59
"And for this purpose I have commanded you to organize yourselves, even to print my words, the fulness of my scriptures, the revelations which I have given unto you, and which I shall, hereafter, from time to time give unto you—

For the purpose of building up my church and kingdom on the earth, and to prepare my people for the time when I shall dwell with them, which is nigh at hand."

I particularly was impressed with the words "fulness of my scriptures" in both sections. I did a search, and I had not written about this previously in any part of my record that I could find. I thought this was new direction from my Father to me today, of what he wanted me to record.

My Father then immediately spoke to my mind:

"Raphael, I have led you to find and record these verses in the Doctrine and Covenants above. I want to explain the meaning of the words "fulness of my scriptures".

The fulness of the scriptures are a compilation of records that your Heavenly Mother and I wish to be in place when our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ comes to the earth. Our intent of having the fulness of our scriptures is explained in D&C 104:59:

"For the purpose of building up my church and kingdom on the earth, and to prepare my people for the time when I shall dwell with them, which is nigh at hand."

The cannon of scriptures that is included in the fulness of my scriptures are the following:

Bible, consisting of the King James Version of the Old and New Testament
Book of Mormon
Doctrine and Covenants
Pearl of Great Price
Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible
Records of the Tribes of Israel from the north
Sealed portion of the Book of Mormon (see 29E1, and 94E7)
Other records that have been sealed in the earth, that will come forth before the second coming of Jesus Christ
Book of Raphael, volumes One, Two and Three

There will be other records that have been hid to me that will also come forth at the beginning of the millennium. However, these will not initially be part of the fulness of the scriptures, but will be added to them after the second coming of Jesus Christ. Other scriptures will be continually recorded during the expanse of the millennial day that will be also added to the fulness of the scriptures. By the end of the thousand years of peace and rest, the cannon of scripture encompassing the fulness of the scriptures will be very great. In them, all things will be revealed to man on the earth, for those who seek them."

I then asked my Father in Heaven if the fulness of the scriptures will be segregated between a celestial section and a terrestrial section?

Here is his response:

"Raphael, the fulness of the scriptures will all be available to be read and able to be fully understood by any of the terrestrial inhabitants of the earth during the millennium. If there is information and direction for the celestial, or additional celestial knowledge, for those who become members of the Church of the Firstborn, these will be kept in a separate record for those to read and understand in the celestial realms of your earth or on our celestial orb. These records relate to information reserved exclusively for those who will become couple gods in eternity.

We have a similar set of records on our own celestial earth, which is our initial inheritance we were given. It is stored in the equivalent New Jerusalem Library on that celestial earth. We may read it any time in that library. We also have duplicate copies for ourselves which we keep in our own celestial temple on our celestial orb. There is also a set of our own fulness of the scriptures that is kept there, which is a scriptural record of the telestial and terrestrial doings on our own mortal earth."

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his remarkable new revelation to me today! I look forward to reading all new entries of the fulness of the scriptures!

April 13, 2025
Yesterday I gave a baptism talk at the baptism of one of my granddaughters. I gave a similar baptism talk on January 6, 2025. I read the following verse that caught my eye when I was preparing my talk:

Moses 6:67 "And thou art after the order of him who was without beginning of days or end of years, from all eternity to all eternity."

I thought that these words of "without beginning of days or end of years" were used exclusively for describing the holy priesthood, and that this was endless. I was partly mistaken, for here the words "without beginning of days or end of years" were used in describing the endless nature of God.

I then looked up other scriptures with the words "without beginning of days or end of years", some referring to the priesthood of him who was without beginning of days or end of years, and some referring to God being without beginning of days or end of years. It probably doesn't matter, for the overall idea is that God, and all of his order, which includes priesthood and ordinances like baptism, are all endless. This order was all set up and established before man came upon the earth in this eternity.

Here are some other scriptures I found that refer to "without beginning of days or end of years":

----------
Moses 1:3 "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?"

----------
Hebrews 7:1-3 "For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;

To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;

Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually."

----------
Alma 13:2-9 "And those priests were ordained after the order of his Son, in a manner that thereby the people might know in what manner to look forward to his Son for redemption.

And this is the manner after which they were ordained—being called and prepared from the foundation of the world according to the foreknowledge of God, on account of their exceeding faith and good works; in the first place being left to choose good or evil; therefore they having chosen good, and exercising exceedingly great faith, are called with a holy calling, yea, with that holy calling which was prepared with, and according to, a preparatory redemption for such.

And thus they have been called to this holy calling on account of their faith, while others would reject the Spirit of God on account of the hardness of their hearts and blindness of their minds, while, if it had not been for this they might have had as great privilege as their brethren.

Or in fine, in the first place they were on the same standing with their brethren; thus this holy calling being prepared from the foundation of the world for such as would not harden their hearts, being in and through the atonement of the Only Begotten Son, who was prepared—

And thus being called by this holy calling, and ordained unto the high priesthood of the holy order of God, to teach his commandments unto the children of men, that they also might enter into his rest—

This high priesthood being after the order of his Son, which order was from the foundation of the world; or in other words, being without beginning of days or end of years, being prepared from eternity to all eternity, according to his foreknowledge of all things—

Now they were ordained after this manner—being called with a holy calling, and ordained with a holy ordinance, and taking upon them the high priesthood of the holy order, which calling, and ordinance, and high priesthood, is without beginning or end—

Thus they become high priests forever, after the order of the Son, the Only Begotten of the Father, who is without beginning of days or end of years, who is full of grace, equity, and truth. And thus it is. Amen."

----------
D&C 84:16-18 "And from Enoch to Abel, who was slain by the conspiracy of his brother, who received the priesthood by the commandments of God, by the hand of his father Adam, who was the first man—

Which priesthood continueth in the church of God in all generations, and is without beginning of days or end of years.

And the Lord confirmed a priesthood also upon Aaron and his seed, throughout all their generations, which priesthood also continueth and abideth forever with the priesthood which is after the holiest order of God."

----------
D&C 78:16 "Who hath appointed Michael your prince, and established his feet, and set him upon high, and given unto him the keys of salvation under the counsel and direction of the Holy One, who is without beginning of days or end of life."

----------
When reading these verses above, I get the idea that everything that was to be everlasting after this earth passed away, that which was to be "without beginning of days or end of years", was established by God in heaven before Adam and Eve were born upon the earth. This included the great plan of salvation, the priesthood for men and the office of High Priestess for women, the ordinance of baptism of water and the Holy Ghost, the waters of separation ordinance to be received when accepted into the Church of the Firstborn, and all other ordinances and steps for God's children to progress and eventually become gods in eternity.

At this time, I felt that Heavenly Father wanted me to write his words:

"Raphael, what you have written is true. Your Heavenly Mother and I planned all of the ordinances for this eternity that we would require for our children's salvation and exaltation, before this world began. We had planned everything in great detail, even to know when each of our beloved children would come to their mortal probation, what families they would be born into, and many of the experiences we wanted each to have in their mortal lives. We established an extremely fair system of progression. We established and planned to ordain our Beloved Son to be the chosen Messiah and God. We planned and set in order all things for the eternal happiness and well-being of our children. This is all our great work, even established from the very beginning of this eternity, even before we birthed our children in the spirit. All was established, by our great foreknowledge, even because we are Gods, from eternity to eternity. The phrase "without beginning of days or end of years" refers to us and all of our everlasting plans, ordinances, steps of progression, judgments and everything that we have established to bring to pass the eternal life and happiness of our beloved children."

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his clear words, and marvel at his great foreknowledge in doing this with Heavenly Mother! I feel so blessed and guided in my understanding today!

April 18, 2025
This morning I was directed to read D&C 86:11:
"Therefore, blessed are ye if ye continue in my goodness, a light unto the Gentiles, and through this priesthood, a savior unto my people Israel. The Lord hath said it. Amen."

I read the three interpretations of D&C 86:8-11 and my notes in July 23, 2023 in this section. I then read Isaiah 60:1-3:
"Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.

For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.

And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising."

Heavenly Father then spoke to me:
"Raphael, I have directed you to include Isaiah 60:1-3 in your Book of Raphael, with my interpretation. My Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, revealed to the prophet Isaiah the great light that would be poured out upon the elect in the last days, given in verse 3 above. Isaiah saw your day, and the revealing of your Book of Raphael to the world. Our elect would recognize these truths that we have revealed them to you, They would be moved by the Spirit of God and the Holy Ghost to come to this light. These elect consist of many of the House of Israel and of the Gentiles who have been prepared to receive these great truths. They have all been chosen by us and then taught in our celestial realms of glory these truths to their spirits, even in the stillness of the night when their physical bodies slumbered (see 171D7-171D21). This has all now been completed. They are now prepared to receive our light that will be revealed to them, in our own timing, that is found in your Book of Raphael.

Raphael, you are the light spoken of by Isaiah in verse 1 above: "Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee."

Isaiah saw in his revelations from Jesus Christ that you would arise as our Branch in these last days, even "clothed with light for a covering" (D&C 85:7), and reveal your record to our faithful. This record would be a great light and a gathering point, and contain the glory of the Lord. Our elect would recognize this light, that these revelations in your record are those that they were taught recently in the celestial realms. They will be prompted by the Holy Ghost to accept these truths in their mortal lives.

At the time that these, our elect, accept your record as from us, their Gods, "darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people". However, as Isaiah states in verse 2, the Lord, even your Heavenly Mother and I, shall arise upon you (this is upon you, Raphael), and our glory shall be seen upon you in your record, the Book of Raphael.

Isaiah 60:1-3 will all soon be fulfilled over all the earth. It will create a great division of the people (see 2 Nephi 30:10). Those who are our elect, will embrace your record and the truths therein. They will be the ones who will meet Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son, in the clouds of heaven, and enter into the terrestrial earth in that millennial day ahead."

I felt very humbled and enlightened to receive from my Father these truths from his own mouth. I know what I have written to be from him and not from me. I thanked him for his revelation this morning!

April 20, 2025, Easter Sunday
At noon my wife, son and I attended sacrament meeting at my second son's church, with his family and my sister-in-law who was visiting. I had a spiritual experience while I attended the meeting, particularly during the sacrament portion.

From the onset, when I sang with my family the opening hymn, I felt Jesus Christ, my great Redeemer, would attend me in the meeting, or at least during the sacrament portion. My grandson blessed the water of the sacrament, and the granddaughters sang "Gethsemane." It was a beautiful and spiritual meeting.

During the sacrament, after I received the bread, I saw Jesus Christ come, with my Heavenly Father on his right side, all in the celestial realm, on the other side of the veil. I then saw Heavenly Mother descend from the celestial skies to the left side of Jesus. They were all facing me in a row. I think I remained in the telestial realm, but I could see into the celestial realm of glory, superimposed on top of me. I knew that nobody around me could see into this realm. I communicated with them with my directed thoughts. I made my weekly sacrament covenant with my Heavenly Parents, and then Jesus spoke to me:

"Raphael, on behalf of our Heavenly Parents, I accept your covenant that you have made with them. They have asked me to address you.

During my agony in Gethsemane, and later on the cross, I suffered for the sins of all of the children of our Heavenly Parents. What you have read yesterday, about my suffering being divided up into 700 segments (see 125C2-125C33), is correct. I suffered my most intense pains in the highest celestial realm, but also a portion of this pain on the earth in my physical body. I was replicated millions of times in my physical body in this celestial realm, in order to suffer for so many of God's children during the time I was in Gethsemane and on the cross.

Raphael, I have suffered for all of your past and future sins, weaknesses and shortcomings, until our Heavenly Parents said that it was enough, in order to meet the requirements of the law of justice recorded in the Book of the Laws of God (see 125G7-125G8, 125C17 and 125C46). You have been redeemed, and are pure and holy without spot before us, for you are clean before us, and have been brought by us into our presence. Thus may all mankind become clean and pure, if they will repent and come unto me, with full purpose of heart, believing in me that I am mighty to save and redeem them."

At that time my grandson blessed the sacrament water. Jesus told me that the water represented his blood, that he freely gave as a sacrifice for the sins of all mankind in this eternity. I drank of the water with Jesus watching me, from the other side of the veil.

Jesus smiled and moved next to me, to be by my side. He then turned and watched with me the remainder of the sacrament meeting! I kept looking over to him, with my spirit eyes, to see where he was looking. He was always looking straight ahead, with great interest, to what the ward members were saying and doing.

When the primary and young women in the ward sang "Gethsemane", he turned towards me. He spoke:
"Raphael, I will show you what I suffered in vision while these children sing this song about my suffering."

As they sang, I saw the words depicted in my mind's eye, of events that actually happened in Gethsemane to Jesus Christ, our great Redeemer:

"Gethsemane", by Melanie Hoffman

"Verse 1:
Jesus climbed the hill to the garden still.
His steps were heavy and slow.
Love and a prayer took Him there
To the place only He could go.

Chorus:
Gethsemane. Jesus loves me.
So He went willingly to Gethsemane.

Verse 2:
He felt all that was sad, wicked, or bad,
All the pain we would ever know.
While his friends were asleep
He fought to keep His promise made long ago.

Verse 3:
The hardest thing that ever was done,
The greatest pain that ever was known,
The biggest battle that ever was won –
This was done by Jesus!
The fight was won by Jesus!

Special Finale Chorus:
Gethsemane. Jesus loves me.
So He gave His gift to me in Gethsemane.
Gethsemane. Jesus loves me.
So He gave His gift to me from Gethsemane."

When the hymn was finished, Jesus was smiling, with his eyes wet with his tears. I could feel a very large aura of love and light coming from him, which engulfed my being. I felt so very deeply grateful for my blessed Redeemer, and for his sacrifice he gave for all mankind!

During one time in the meeting, Jesus told me that even though the Father had removed his priesthood and priesthood keys from the high councils in the LDS Church, those men and boys who lived righteous lives in this ward and throughout the church, who held the Melchizedek and Aaronic priesthood, were still able to exercise their priesthood in a way pleasing to the Father. He said that he and the Father were glad for the sacrament being blessed each week in LDS chapels. This gave the righteous elect a way that they could connect spiritually with them, if they did so with humility, repentance, and real intent.

The meeting continued with more hymns and a few short talks. Soon it was done, and completed with a closing prayer. Jesus then turned to me and said these words:

"Raphael, I will leave now, and you will be with your family soon. Make time today to write all that has happened to you, and record this in your journal."

I told him I would do so when I returned home.

April 21-22, 2025
I asked my Heavenly Father where I should read in the scriptures. I very distinctly heard to read carefully 1 Nephi 14, and also 3 Nephi 21. I then read these, and have written my impressions from Heavenly Father for selected verses, in both chapters. Heavenly Father confirmed that what I have written in parenthesis are his words, and not mine.

----------
1 Nephi 14:1 (Heavenly Father's comments in parenthesis below in all the scripture references)
"And it shall come to pass, that if the Gentiles (These are the Gentiles is your very day Raphael, in 2025)

shall hearken unto the Lamb of God in that day that he shall manifest himself unto them in word (This will be the written word, first with the standard works including first the Bible, Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, Pearl of Great Price, Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible, and then secondly with the Book of Raphael),

and also in power, in very deed ("very deed" refers to the actual appearance of Jesus Christ to the righteous individuals, just like you received, and those who supported you during the posts of Raphael Volume 1 who are K, M.A., S.A., and S),

unto the taking away of their stumbling blocks (The stumbling blocks are doctrinal discrepancies they have been taught which are all cleared up with the revelations in the Book of Raphael, and personal revelation for any stumbling block that has not been addressed. All of these revelations will be confirmed by direct revelation from us their Gods through the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of the Lord, or our direct appearing to these, our elect)"

----------
1 Nephi 14:17
"And when the day cometh that the wrath of God is poured out upon the mother of harlots, which is the great and abominable church of all the earth, whose founder is the devil, then, at that day, (This is your very day, in 2025, with Donald Trump in his second term as President of the United States. The wrath of God is now being poured out upon the democratic party, the elites, the deep state of the United States, and all evil and conspiring men and women in your day, with their evil works exposed before all the world. The news agencies that had been previously funded by the US Government are continuing their fake news, and creating false stories to derail the people from the truth. However, the plans of this great and abominable church, to which these all belong, the whore of all the earth, are being exposed and destroyed by we Gods ourselves, as we pour out our wrath upon them),

the work of the Father shall commence, in preparing the way for the fulfilling of his covenants, which he hath made to his people who are of the house of Israel. (The righteous elect will be given some time of relative peace [see my words in your note dated December 15, 2024 under D&C 45:26-27,31] where they may discover God and our wonderful covenants we have in store for them, even the covenant of eternal life, given in the Church of the Firstborn)"

----------
3 Nephi 21:1-11
"And verily I say unto you, I give unto you a sign, that ye may know the time when these things shall be about to take place—that I shall gather in, from their long dispersion, my people, O house of Israel, and shall establish again among them my Zion (Jesus Christ is now setting the timing of this sign. The sign is when we gather the tribes of Israel from their long dispersion, and establish Zion among them. This has already happened in the New Jerusalem, with the gathering in of the lost tribes of Israel to that terrestrial land. Zion is already built up among these people in that location, and will soon have others that will travel there to join them in their Zion communities.);

And behold, this is the thing which I will give unto you for a sign—for verily I say unto you that when these things which I declare unto you (which Jesus states in this chapter),

and which I shall declare unto you hereafter of myself (This is in the record of Raphael, and by personal revelation to each of the elect by the power of the Holy Ghost),

and by the power of the Holy Ghost which shall be given unto you of the Father, shall be made known unto the Gentiles that they may know concerning this people who are a remnant of the house of Jacob (These are the lost tribes of Israel who live now in the New Jerusalem),

and concerning this my people who shall be scattered by them (Scattered by the Gentiles: these are the remnants of the seed of Lehi);

Verily, verily, I say unto you, when these things shall be made known unto them of the Father, and shall come forth of the Father, from them (The record of the Father is contained primarily in the Book of Raphael, for it truly is a record of the revelations primarily of Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother to you, Raphael)

unto you;

For it is wisdom in the Father that they (the Gentiles in your day)

should be established in this land, and be set up as a free people by the power of the Father (This is with the establishment of the US Constitution officially in 1788, but also more importantly again under President Trump in his second term with the Federal Government being reigned in, and the states receiving their rightful governing powers back. This entire effort will create a much more free people in your modern day),

that these things (The records of the Father, or primarily the Book of Raphael)

might come forth from them (This is primarily from you, Raphael, who are a Gentile among the Gentile nation)

unto a remnant of your seed (The House of Israel),

that the covenant of the Father (The covenant of eternal life, started in the Church of Christ with baptism, the conferral of the Holy Ghost, and receipt of the Priesthood for men or the office of High Priestess for women, but ultimately completed in the Church of Firstborn for the elect of God)

may be fulfilled which he hath covenanted with his people, O house of Israel;

Therefore, when these works and the works which shall be wrought among you hereafter (These are the Bible, Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, Pearl of Great Price, Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible, and the Book of Raphael, all coming by way of the Gentiles)

shall come forth from the Gentiles, unto your seed which shall dwindle in unbelief because of iniquity;

For thus it behooveth the Father that it should come forth from the Gentiles, that he may show forth his power unto the Gentiles, for this cause that the Gentiles, if they will not harden their hearts, that they may repent and come unto me and be baptized in my name and know of the true points of my doctrine, that they may be numbered among my people, O house of Israel;

And when these things come to pass that thy seed shall begin to know these (Not only the Book of Mormon and other scriptures, but also the Book of Raphael)

—it shall be a sign unto them, that they may know that the work of the Father (This phrase "work of the Father" or words including the "Father", in a last days context, are always associated with the coming forth of the Book of Raphael and the marvelous work that we will wrought just before the second coming of Jesus Christ)

hath already commenced unto the fulfilling of the covenant (The beginning of the covenant that leads to eternal life, from the Church of Christ then to the Church of the Firstborn)

which he hath made unto the people who are of the house of Israel.

And when that day shall come, it shall come to pass that kings shall shut their mouths (This is a definite sign of the reception of the Book of Raphael in the world);

for that which had not been told them (Primarily from the online BookofRaphael.com)

shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider.

For in that day, for my sake shall the Father work a work, which shall be a great and a marvelous work among them (This great work is the coming forth of the Book of Raphael in the world);

and there shall be among them those who will not believe it, although a man (This is you, Raphael, who lives in the telestial world among them in the flesh)

shall declare it unto them.

But behold, the life of my servant (this is now speaking of John the Beloved, who is also commissioned to gather Israel in the last days as are you, Raphael)

shall be in my hand; therefore they shall not hurt him, although he shall be marred because of them. Yet I will heal him, for I will show unto them that my wisdom is greater than the cunning of the devil.

Therefore it shall come to pass that whosoever will not believe in my words, who am Jesus Christ, which the Father shall cause him (Raphael)

to bring forth unto the Gentiles, and shall give unto him power that he shall bring them forth unto the Gentiles, (It shall be done even as Moses said) they shall be cut off from among my people who are of the covenant. (The individual acceptance of the Book of Raphael determines if they are the people of Jesus Christ. For if they reject the Book of Raphael, they also reject Jesus Christ and will be cut off from among the faithful elect who will go into the millennium)"

----------
3 Nephi 21:14
"Yea, wo be unto the Gentiles except they repent (This is during the days when the Book of Raphael is available among the Gentiles); for it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Father, that I will cut off thy horses out of the midst of thee, and I will destroy thy chariots; (I, God, will destroy all those who reject Raphael's record, the Book of Raphael. If they reject this record from me, the Father, I will give my angels and servants command to destroy their cities and strongholds, and all of their evil ways given in 3 Nephi 21:15-19.21)"

----------
3 Nephi 21:20,22-29

"For it shall come to pass, saith the Father, that at that day whosoever will not repent and come unto my Beloved Son, them will I cut off from among my people, O house of Israel;

But if they will repent and hearken unto my words, (These are our words revealed to you, Raphael in your record)

and harden not their hearts, I will establish my church (Both the new Church of Christ, and make available to them the access to the Church of the Firstborn)

among them, and they shall come in unto the covenant (The covenant of eternal life)

and be numbered among this the remnant of Jacob, unto whom I have given this land for their inheritance; (This is a call for these elect who repent to come forth into the terrestrial world of the millennium and receive the lands of their inheritances in the millennium)

And they shall assist my people, the remnant of Jacob, and also as many of the house of Israel as shall come, that they may build a city, which shall be called the New Jerusalem. (This holy city is only partially built up now, but the completion of it will be constructed by these, the remnant of Jacob, and as many of the house of Israel as shall come. It is built up in the terrestrial mortal world)

And then shall they assist my people that they may be gathered in, who are scattered upon all the face of the land, in unto the New Jerusalem (These will travel to the New Jerusalem, either on foot or be transported there by one or more of the 144,000 servants).

And then shall the power of heaven come down among them (This will be primarily in the celestial realms of the land of Eden, where the celestial New Jerusalem Temple is built up);

and I also will be in the midst (Jesus will also be in the terrestrial realms of the New Jerusalem. Your Heavenly Mother and I will also be there frequently, but the people will not generally see us, for we will be in the celestial realms beyond their veil).

And then shall the work of the Father commence at that day, even when this gospel shall be preached among the remnant of this people. (This is the fulness of the gospel, contained in the Bible, Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants [excluding the current section 132], the Pearl of Great Price, the Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible, and especially the Book of Raphael)

Verily I say unto you, at that day shall the work of the Father commence among all the dispersed of my people, yea, even the tribes which have been lost, which the Father hath led away out of Jerusalem (These are already located in the New Jerusalem).

Yea, the work shall commence among all the dispersed of my people, with the Father to prepare the way whereby they may come unto me, that they may call on the Father in my name.

Yea, and then shall the work commence, with the Father among all nations in preparing the way whereby his people may be gathered home to the land of their inheritance.

And they shall go out from all nations; and they shall not go out in haste, nor go by flight, for I will go before them, saith the Father, and I will be their rearward."

At the end of writing all of this, the voice of the Father came into my mind, with these words: "Raphael, what you have written is correct and is from me, your Heavenly Father."

I felt a surge of confirmation in his words to me. I feel so blessed to receive such wonderful revelations from my Father!

April 23-24, 2025
I read on this Wednesday morning 3 Nephi chapter 16, as I felt impressed to do. I pondered its meaning, even a hidden meaning or meanings, throughout the day. One of the impressions I had was in 3 Nephi 16:10, which reads in part the following:

"At that day when the Gentiles shall sin against my gospel, and shall reject the fulness of my gospel, and shall be lifted up in the pride of their hearts above all nations, and above all the people of the whole earth, and shall be filled with all manner of lyings, and of deceits, and of mischiefs, and all manner of hypocrisy, and murders, and priestcrafts, and whoredoms, and of secret abominations; and if they shall do all those things, and shall reject the fulness of my gospel, behold, saith the Father, I will bring the fulness of my gospel from among them."

I felt that the "fulness of the gospel" refers to the LDS Church, which had practiced the true fulness of the gospel as revealed from the heavens since the days of the prophet Joseph Smith. The Church of Christ, established by Joseph Smith in 1830, was a light that broke out in the darkness, and "it shall be the fulness of my gospel" (D&C 45:28). The characterizing quality is the fire and the presence of the Holy Ghost, which is one reason why it is called the fulness. The fulness of the gospel is also described in the Articles of Faith 1:4, as stated as the first principles and ordinances of the gospel. The fulness of the gospel is also contained in the Book of Mormon, as stated in the introduction, first paragraph, and also stated by the angel Moroni on September 21, 1823 to Joseph Smith in the Testimony of the prophet Joseph Smith.

Recently there has been revealed so much fraud and evil practices in the federal government, and secret collusion with many industries in the United States. These practices are exactly what Jesus Christ refers to in verse 10 above. The people of the United States have largely rejected the fulness of the gospel, as contained in the Book of Mormon and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Those relatively few who have accepted the fulness of the gospel have come into the LDS Church, and among them are those called by Jesus the fulness of the Gentiles (see 3 Nephi 16:4).

God recently removed his Spirit, then his holy priesthood and priesthood keys from the leading quorums of the LDS Church. There was a gradual withdrawal of God's Spirit from this church. The final break from God occurred when the leading quorums rejected the revelation from God on the introduction of the office of High Priestess. This is when finally the fulness of the gospel was removed from the Gentiles.

This is what I have felt all along, with the death of President Thomas S. Monson on January 2, 2018. I received from prayer on April 25, 2023 that President Monson retained his priesthood until the day he died. By then Raphael had already received his priesthood keys and his great commission (he received on May 14, 2017 from God the Father and Jesus Christ, see 188H15-188H19). This kept the Dispensation of the Fulness of Times always in the hands of one with priesthood keys who was prophet, seer and revelator for either the LDS Church (last one was President Monson) or for the Church of the Firstborn (currently the archange Raphael). There was never a break in the lines of communication between God and his prophets.

The setting apart of President Russell M. Nelson as president of the LDS Church on January 14, 2018, began God's full rejection of the LDS Church. The setting apart of President Russell M. Nelson was not ratified before by the church as required by revelation, until after he was set apart for several months (see the Lord's requirement in D&C 20:65-66).

One year later. on January 19, 2019, I as Raphael saw the white oak tree in the celestial heaven violently blow over, analogous to God rejecting the LDS Church and removing the priesthood and keys from all the men of the First Presidency and all of the men of the Quorum of the Twelve. The oak tree also caught fire on March 20, 2020 (see 154H3), signifying again that God had fully rejected this church and its leaders. This fire came two more times on different days, emphasizing the certainty of the church being rejected by God.

I believe after President Monson died, and before the destruction of the white oak tree in heaven, the fulness of the gospel was fully removed from the Gentiles, as prophesied would happen in 3 Nephi 16:10.

Further, the High Priestess revelation was first introduced to President Monson in June 2011, but the full First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve flatly rejected the revelation. The Father withdrew his presence and Spirit at the time from the Church, and then a few years later fully rejected the church and withdrew his priesthood. See 46J1-46J7.

I will now explain a second hidden message in 3 Nephi chapter 16 that I found. I will repeat 3 Nephi 16:10 which I have explained above, and continue for four more verses. I will then add my comments in parenthesis to these four remaining verses:

3 Nephi 16:10-15
"And thus commandeth the Father that I should say unto you: At that day when the Gentiles shall sin against my gospel, and shall reject the fulness of my gospel, and shall be lifted up in the pride of their hearts above all nations, and above all the people of the whole earth, and shall be filled with all manner of lyings, and of deceits, and of mischiefs, and all manner of hypocrisy, and murders, and priestcrafts, and whoredoms, and of secret abominations; and if they shall do all those things, and shall reject the fulness of my gospel, behold, saith the Father, I will bring the fulness of my gospel from among them.

And then will I remember my covenant which I have made unto my people (this is the covenant of the Father, even that of eternal life, ultimately given in the Church of the Firstborn which has been fully established on the earth),

O house of Israel, and I will bring my gospel unto them. (the first of the house of Israel to be brought the fulness of the gospel was lost tribes of Israel. These have traveled from the inner earth where they dwelt in secrecy from the world, and come to the land of the New Jerusalem. They arrived on the very day when Jesus Christ administered the waters of separation to Raphael, see 200E47-200E62. The fulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ was then taught these lost tribes of Israel. This was a fulfillment of 3 Nephi 16:11, when Jesus said "And then will I remember my covenant which I have made unto my people, O house of Israel, and I will bring my gospel unto them.")

And I will show unto thee, O house of Israel, that the Gentiles shall not have power over you; but I will remember my covenant unto you, O house of Israel, and ye shall come unto the knowledge of the fulness of my gospel. (The knowledge of the fulness of the gospel was taught these lost tribes of Israel. They were taught the Book of Mormon and the Doctrine and Covenants, and the first portion of the Book of Raphael. This is explained starting in 200G1 and continuing through post 201)

But if the Gentiles will repent and return unto me, saith the Father, behold they shall be numbered among my people, O house of Israel. (These who repent and accept the Book of Raphael when it is revealed to them will be numbered among the lost tribes of Israel, and among others of the natural lineage of the house of Israel who embrace the fulness of the gospel, the Book of Raphael, and the revelations from God directing them to do so)

And I will not suffer my people, who are of the house of Israel, to go through among them, and tread them down, saith the Father.

But if they will not turn unto me, and hearken unto my voice (these whom Jesus is speaking about are the unbelieving of the Gentiles, these who reject the fulness of the gospel in the Book of Mormon and the Book of Raphael that is newly revealed to them. Among these will be many members of the LDS Church. There will be a great division of the people in this great day of acceptance of these truths, and rejection of these truths),

I will suffer them, yea, I will suffer my people, O house of Israel, that they shall go through among them, and shall tread them down, and they shall be as salt that hath lost its savor, which is thenceforth good for nothing but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of my people, O house of Israel. (This event which is the destruction of the unbelieving of the Gentiles will be because of their rejection of these new revelations from God, as revealed in the Book of Raphael. These destructions are exactly what Jesus Christ explains will happen in 3 Nephi 21:14 and the commentary from Heavenly Father about this verse dated April 21-22, 2025 in my journal entry above. I had never connected that the event in 3 Nephi 16:14-15, of the treading under foot of the Gentiles, was the same event in 3 Nephi 21:14-21, of the cutting off of the cities and strongholds in the land! I believe that this promised destruction upon the United States will be after the four years of relative peace and freedom, under the second administration of President Donald Trump. See also D&C 112:23-26 which speaks of the whirlwind coming upon the earth, which is also the same destruction event)"

All of these interactions of the Father with the Gentiles in the land of America is because of what Jesus Christ says in 3 Nephi 16:6-7
"And blessed are the Gentiles, because of their belief in me, in and of the Holy Ghost, which witnesses unto them of me and of the Father.

Behold, because of their belief in me, saith the Father, and because of the unbelief of you, O house of Israel, in the latter day shall the truth come unto the Gentiles, that the fulness of these things shall be made known unto them."

I feel so very grateful to be born in this free land of America! I feel God's great blessings have been abundantly poured out upon the Gentiles in our land! I know destruction awaits for the unbelieving of the Gentiles who reject the fulness of the gospel, particularly if they reject both the Book of Mormon and the Book of Raphael. In so doing, they also reject Jesus Christ.

When I was done on this Thursday morning, finally writing all of this above, Heavenly Father asked to speak to me. Here are his words that came clearly to my mind and heart:

"Raphael, my son, what you have written yesterday and today, in your commentary of 3 Nephi 16, is from me. I have inspired you to write all of these words. What you have written is acceptable to me and is true. This is the day of the great revealing of my secrets hidden in your scriptures, and now given to the world to read and ponder. If they ask me, in the name of my Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, I will manifest the truth of these words to them by the power of the Holy Ghost."

I thanked my great God for his confirmation and message to me this morning! I feel his abundant presence and that of my Heavenly Mother also, who is the Holy Ghost.

Yesterday while working on my property, I had the distinct voice of the Father come into my mind. I have been working hard to prepare our garden for planting, to mow the fast-growing grass in all our areas, weeding, preparing soil in the garden, attending grandchildren's programs at the end of their school year, and several pages of projects that need to get done at this time of year. In the Book of Raphael, I have been working daily on fixing html code in order to conform to standards I didn't know about for readability on all computer and cellphone platforms.

Here are Heavenly Father's words, as best I can reconstruct them:

"Raphael, the most important thing that your Heavenly Mother and I want you to do is to work steadily on your Book of Raphael, every day, according to the inspirations we give to you. We have many revelations that we wish to give to you to share with our elect who will read and study your Book of Raphael. You have many projects and activities on your schedule, but in time these will lose their importance. What will remain is your relationships with family and friends, and the great and marvelous work and a wonder of the coming forth with the Book of Raphael in your day."

I thanked my Heavenly Father for being next to me, and for speaking to my mind while I was outside working! I currently spend several hours a day on the Book of Raphael, in the early morning and evening, to get html code fixed (anchors and links) that others will benefit from in their study. I am continually impressed with the volume of new insights and revelations that are contained in these three volumes of the Book of Raphael!

May 7, 2025
Over the last few days, I have been studying 2 Nephi 26-33. I also read many of the references that I have previously written in my posts about these scriptures. Today one scripture stood out in particular:

2 Nephi 27:23-26
"For behold, I am God; and I am a God of miracles; and I will show unto the world that I am the same yesterday, today, and forever; and I work not among the children of men save it be according to their faith.

And again it shall come to pass that the Lord shall say unto him that shall read the words that shall be delivered him:

Forasmuch as this people draw near unto me with their mouth, and with their lips do honor me, but have removed their hearts far from me, and their fear towards me is taught by the precepts of men—

Therefore, I will proceed to do a marvelous work among this people, yea, a marvelous work and a wonder, for the wisdom of their wise and learned shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent shall be hid."

Nephi wrote these verses after he explained in detail about the coming forth of the Book of Mormon, with the learned man who couldn't read a sealed book, and the witnesses that he would provide. Because Nephi saw our very day, he was constrained by the Spirit not to reveal information about the Book of Raphael, a book that would come forth after the Book of Mormon. However, the coming forth of this new book would be referred to as a marvelous work and a wonder. It would be called the work of the Father. It would come forth in a day when the people's hearts would be far from him, with any fear towards God being taught by the precepts of men.

We live in this very day when faith in God is so lacking in the world. There are so few miracles from God in the land or in the church that Joseph Smith the prophet restored, compared to the 1820's to 1840's when the church was restored and the Book of Mormon was brought forth. The people now look to wise leaders for inspiration, for the heavens have become silent with new revelation.

However, God is the same, yesterday, today and forever, and is a God of miracles! He will remember his covenant people, and restore Israel and all the Gentiles who will believe and trust in him. Our day will be a great day of miracles and revelation from heaven!

At this time, my Heavenly Mother whispered to me that she wanted to speak to me, and for me to write her words:

"Raphael, your Heavenly Father and I have been inspiring you to study in more detail the words of Nephi in 2 Nephi 26-33. I told Nephi that he should write all about the coming forth of the Book of Mormon, with information on the sealed portion of the Book of Mormon, the witnesses, and the faithlessness of the times when this book would come forth.

I also showed to Nephi a vision, from me as the Holy Ghost, of the coming forth of the Book of Raphael. I told him that he couldn't write about it clearly in his record like he wrote about the coming forth of the Book of Mormon. He wrote some verses that referred to your Book of Raphael, but he had to do it in a way that wasn't extremely clear except to those who possessed the spirit of revelation. The verses above in 2 Nephi 27:23-26, refer to your Book of Raphael and the times you live in. Whenever the words "a marvelous work" or "a marvelous work and a wonder", are given in your scriptures, this refers to the coming forth of the Book of Raphael, the everlasting covenant that your Heavenly Father and I have established in the Church of the Firstborn through you, and the restoration of scattered Israel and the elect ultimately into the millennial world.

Raphael, we are pleased with how you have been continually seeking our directions on what to include in the Book of Raphael, and how to make it just how we wish it to be. You have recently updated your online book to make it more readable with improved hyperlinks. This will allow our elect to study our revelations to you more thoroughly. We also have many more revelations to give to you, which have never before been revealed, or that has not written about in so much depth, as will be in your record.

Raphael, this is our great work, even a marvelous work and a wonder! Oh, how we love you and our faithful elect that we will gather in one!"

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her very inspiring words to me this morning! I told her that I would continually seek to be a clear conduit to receive these revelations and further directions. I humbly bowed my head in submission before her as I close this entry this morning.

May 9, 2025
I have read this morning 2 Nephi 28:27-29, in which Nephi of old spoke the following:

"Yea, wo be unto him that saith: We have received, and we need no more!

And in fine, wo unto all those who tremble, and are angry because of the truth of God! For behold, he that is built upon the rock receiveth it with gladness; and he that is built upon a sandy foundation trembleth lest he shall fall.

Wo be unto him that shall say: We have received the word of God, and we need no more of the word of God, for we have enough!"

I read the account of Nephi appearing and speaking to me with Heavenly Father, on the high mountaintop on the celestial orb (see 130G1-130G16, recorded also in 2 Nephi 28:25-32).

This was very enlightening! I also felt that there was something more that my Heavenly Father wanted to speak about the coming forth of the Book of Raphael, which Nephi referred to in these verses. Here are the words that are coming into my mind and heart from Heavenly Father at this time:

"Raphael, your Heavenly Mother and I have been inspiring you to dwell on these last chapters in 2 Nephi over the past few days. You have read what we have given to you by revelation in the past. I would now like to enlighten your mind further about how our elect will receive your Book of Raphael, and the wicked will reject your words, even as Nephi wrote from 2 Nephi 28:1 through 2 Nephi 29:1.

Your Heavenly Mother correctly spoke to you 2 days ago about the interpretation of 2 Nephi 27:23-26 (see your journal entry above). Nephi continued writing about the Book of Raphael in his next chapter, 28:1-32 and 29:1. Most people in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints think that Nephi was writing about the Book of Mormon. However, he was speaking primarily about the Book of Raphael.

I would like to have you record my comments in 2 Nephi 28:1 through 2 Nephi 29:1 in parenthesis, next to Nephi's words."

I then copied these verses below, and wrote Heavenly Father's words in the verses as he inspired me:

2 Nephi 28:1-32
"1 And now, behold, my brethren, I have spoken unto you, according as the Spirit hath constrained me; wherefore, I know that they must surely come to pass. (This Spirit was Heavenly Mother, coming to Nephi as the Holy Ghost. At the time, he didn't know that this was his Heavenly Mother speaking to him.)

2 And the things which shall be written out of the book (this book is the Book of Raphael, even as Heavenly Mother revealed to you yesterday in the previous verses of 2 Nephi 27:23-26) shall be of great worth unto the children of men, and especially unto our seed, which is a remnant of the house of Israel. (The Book of Raphael will be particularly important to all of the elect whom we have chosen. Nephi's seed, both in his day and into the future, is of the House of Israel, who were largely chosen as our elect. There are also many more of the House of Israel, and many of the Gentiles, whom we have chosen to be our elect. These all live in mortal, premortal and postmortal worlds at this time. Your Book of Raphael will be of great worth to all of all our elect, in whatever states of progression they are in when your book comes forth to them. Your book is already being studied and read in the premortal and postmortal realms among our elect. In your mortal world, your online BookofRaphael.com is indexed by an online search engine, and starting to be found by our elect in their searches. We will continue to inspire our mortal elect to find your book, often by typing in "BookofRaphael.com", and to receive our witness from the Holy Ghost and our Spirit of its divine origin and truthfulness.)

3 For it shall come to pass in that day that the churches which are built up, and not unto the Lord, when the one shall say unto the other: Behold, I, I am the Lord’s; and the others shall say: I, I am the Lord’s; and thus shall every one say that hath built up churches, and not unto the Lord—

4 And they shall contend one with another; and their priests shall contend one with another, and they shall teach with their learning, and deny the Holy Ghost, which giveth utterance.

5 And they deny the power of God, the Holy One of Israel; and they say unto the people: Hearken unto us, and hear ye our precept; for behold there is no God today, for the Lord and the Redeemer hath done his work, and he hath given his power unto men; (Your world is filled with humanism, which replaces us, who are their Gods, with humans and the wisdom of mortal man. There is great disbelief in God among the wicked.)

6 Behold, hearken ye unto my precept; if they shall say there is a miracle wrought by the hand of the Lord, believe it not; for this day he is not a God of miracles; he hath done his work. (Raphael, your book is coming forth is your day which matches Nephi's words. There are very few miracles in your land and throughout the world. People rely on the leaders, almost all who are misled, who teach for doctrines the words of man. Most will reject your Book of Raphael, and think it is of no worth, for they are not our elect, for our elect hear our voice and harden not their hearts [see D&C 29:7 and D&C 45:56-57])

7 Yea, and there shall be many which shall say: Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die; and it shall be well with us.

8 And there shall also be many which shall say: Eat, drink, and be merry; nevertheless, fear God—he will justify in committing a little sin; yea, lie a little, take the advantage of one because of his words, dig a pit for thy neighbor; there is no harm in this; and do all these things, for tomorrow we die; and if it so be that we are guilty, God will beat us with a few stripes, and at last we shall be saved in the kingdom of God.

9 Yea, and there shall be many which shall teach after this manner, false and vain and foolish doctrines, and shall be puffed up in their hearts, and shall seek deep to hide their counsels from the Lord; and their works shall be in the dark. (This is a description of your very day, when the love of man has waxed cold, and people's works are in the dark, finding fault with their neighbors and doing evil continually.)

10 And the blood of the saints shall cry from the ground against them. (The blood of the saints are those righteous men and women who have died, who were treated unfairly or restricted in their progression because of evil and conspiring men and women, and their organizations on the earth that are part of the Great and Abominable Church of the Devil.)

11 Yea, they have all gone out of the way; they have become corrupted.

12 Because of pride, and because of false teachers, and false doctrine, their churches have become corrupted, and their churches are lifted up; because of pride they are puffed up.

13 They rob the poor because of their fine sanctuaries; they rob the poor because of their fine clothing; and they persecute the meek and the poor in heart, because in their pride they are puffed up.

14 They wear stiff necks and high heads; yea, and because of pride, and wickedness, and abominations, and whoredoms, they have all gone astray save it be a few, who are the humble followers of Christ; nevertheless, they are led, that in many instances they do err because they are taught by the precepts of men.

15 O the wise, and the learned, and the rich, that are puffed up in the pride of their hearts, and all those who preach false doctrines, and all those who commit whoredoms, and pervert the right way of the Lord, wo, wo, wo be unto them, saith the Lord God Almighty, for they shall be thrust down to hell! (This corruption, great pride, false teachings, robbing the poor, wickedness in high places is throughout your land, and includes those leaders in the LDS Church! It was this church we inspired to come forth by the hands of our prophet Joseph Smith. However, it now has fallen even as the mighty white oak tree on our celestial orb. We no longer inspire its leaders, for the heavens are like brass above them, and they aimlessly direct our once humble and true church!)

16 Wo unto them that turn aside the just for a thing of naught and revile against that which is good, and say that it is of no worth! (Raphael, your record will be received by the wicked as a thing of naught. The wicked will revile against your record, thinking that it is of no worth, and contains just fables.) For the day shall come that the Lord God will speedily visit the inhabitants of the earth; and in that day that they are fully ripe in iniquity they shall perish.

17 But behold, if the inhabitants of the earth shall repent of their wickedness and abominations they shall not be destroyed, saith the Lord of Hosts.

18 But behold, that great and abominable church, the whore of all the earth, must tumble to the earth, and great must be the fall thereof.

19 For the kingdom of the devil must shake, and they which belong to it must needs be stirred up unto repentance, or the devil will grasp them with his everlasting chains, and they be stirred up to anger, and perish;

20 For behold, at that day shall he rage in the hearts of the children of men, and stir them up to anger against that which is good. (Raphael, you see today so many people in your country that are raging against the truth, and even when your government leaders are finding corruption, excess spending, and wickedness in high places. They rage at all truth because their own works are in the dark, and they seek to hide their evil ways. They want to preserve their craft and receive compensation from an evil society and government.)

21 And others will he pacify, and lull them away into carnal security, that they will say: All is well in Zion; yea, Zion prospereth, all is well—and thus the devil cheateth their souls, and leadeth them away carefully down to hell. (This is what Satan is doing in the LDS Church, for he has lulled their leaders away from us, and to not talk anymore about preparedness and provident living skills, about the need of bearing children, of changing the garment of the holy priesthood to promote immodest clothing, of robbing the poor with their contorted law of the tithe, of acceptance in many congregations of some LGBTQ beliefs and ways, the focus on money-making schemes and avoidance of many controversial subjects. President Nelson has no idea of the golden era of four years of peace that is coming to your nation so that we may quietly gather our elect, nor of the calamity that will follow. His focus is on temple construction and temple attendance which temple ordinances are no longer is acceptable to us, their Gods. The leaders want the people to blend into your own wicked society and become like them. They are unknowingly acting as Satan's emissaries, in doing that which turns them away from us and makes them subject to Satan's trickeries.)

22 And behold, others he flattereth away, and telleth them there is no hell; and he saith unto them: I am no devil, for there is none—and thus he whispereth in their ears, until he grasps them with his awful chains, from whence there is no deliverance.

23 Yea, they are grasped with death, and hell; and death, and hell, and the devil, and all that have been seized therewith must stand before the throne of God, and be judged according to their works, from whence they must go into the place prepared for them, even a lake of fire and brimstone, which is endless torment.

24 Therefore, wo be unto him that is at ease in Zion!

25 Wo be unto him that crieth: All is well!

26 Yea, wo be unto him that hearkeneth unto the precepts of men, and denieth the power of God, and the gift of the Holy Ghost!

27 Yea, wo be unto him that saith: We have received, and we need no more! (Raphael, the LDS Church will ridicule and persecute those who accept the Book of Raphael which contains our abundant revelations. This will cause a great hardship and division between our faithful elect and the society, church and family they belong to. However, the elect will listen to the Holy Ghost, and remember in their unconscious minds the recent teachings they received in our celestial realms during their times of sleep. They will be true and faithful, and will hear our voice and keep our commandments we give to them by our Spirit.)

28 And in fine, wo unto all those who tremble, and are angry because of the truth of God! For behold, he that is built upon the rock receiveth it with gladness; and he that is built upon a sandy foundation trembleth lest he shall fall.

29 Wo be unto him that shall say: We have received the word of God, and we need no more of the word of God, for we have enough! (Our plan is to reveal to our elect children who receive it, our greatest revelations and truths of all time! Those who reject these truths will be condemned for not receiving it, and will not be given the greatest gift of eternal life and exaltation that the elect will receive.)

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. (We will gradually reveal to the faithful our truths, even as quickly as they receive the ones we give them. We will prove them, and gradually lead them along.)

31 Cursed is he that putteth his trust in man, or maketh flesh his arm, or shall hearken unto the precepts of men (or hearken to their leaders, from whatever church, family, or organization they might be from), save their precepts shall be given by the power of the Holy Ghost.

32 Wo be unto the Gentiles, saith the Lord God of Hosts! For notwithstanding I shall lengthen out mine arm unto them from day to day, they will deny me; nevertheless, I will be merciful unto them, saith the Lord God, if they will repent and come unto me; for mine arm is lengthened out all the day long, saith the Lord God of Hosts. (There will be relatively few of the Gentiles that will accept the truths coming forth from the Book of Raphael, compared to how many will reject these truths. This is how it has always been.)

2 Nephi 29:1 But behold, there shall be many—at that day when I shall proceed to do a marvelous work among them, that I may remember my covenants which I have made unto the children of men, that I may set my hand again the second time to recover my people, which are of the house of Israel (Nephi writes here his conclusion of writing about the Book of Raphael. The clue is "marvelous work among them" and "remember my covenants". The marvelous work and a wonder refers in large part to the coming forth of the Book of Raphael. The covenants refer to the everlasting covenants that you and my angels will administer in the New Jerusalem Temple.); "

My Father in Heaven stopped speaking. I felt so pleased that he spoke these words, for I received them with joy and gladness! I love these truths that freely come from him and Heavenly Mother! I know that they are his words, and not mine. They have come fast and steady to me this morning, as I quickly wrote his words in the parenthesis above.

May 16, 2025
I have been spending the past week and a half correcting the hyperlinks on my Book of Raphael volumes 1, 2 and 3. I feel this morning that this is done for now, and that I should make comments on 2 Nephi 30:5-8, for this is where I have been led to study and write about this morning.

Here is 2 Nephi 30:5-8:
"And the gospel of Jesus Christ shall be declared among them; wherefore, they shall be restored unto the knowledge of their fathers, and also to the knowledge of Jesus Christ, which was had among their fathers.

And then shall they rejoice; for they shall know that it is a blessing unto them from the hand of God; and their scales of darkness shall begin to fall from their eyes; and many generations shall not pass away among them, save they shall be a pure and a delightsome people.

And it shall come to pass that the Jews which are scattered also shall begin to believe in Christ; and they shall begin to gather in upon the face of the land; and as many as shall believe in Christ shall also become a delightsome people.

And it shall come to pass that the Lord God shall commence his work among all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people, to bring about the restoration of his people upon the earth."

After I have written the above scriptures, I prayed if I should make comments on these verses, or if one of my Gods should do so. I felt distinctly that Heavenly Mother wanted to have me write her words that she would now speak to me, that would come into my mind and heart. Here are her words:

"Raphael, before I begin with explaining more the verses above, I want you to know that the work that you have done over the past week and a half, in correcting many hyperlinks in your BookofRaphael.com website, has been inspired by your Heavenly Father and me. We directed you as you made these corrections. Now your book is much more readable on all platforms than before, and your corrections will make those who read and study our words that we have given to you more able to do so. We are pleased with your efforts, Raphael.

I have also inspired you to study more in depth Nephi's words in 2 Nephi 30:5-8. Nephi was inspired to inscribe my words on the small gold plates of Nephi, molten by Nephi out of ore (see 1 Nephi 9:2-3). I inspired every word of this selection that Nephi wrote, for I knew then that I would give you my interpretation in the latter-days, in your journal entry today. I came to Nephi as the Holy Ghost and gave him exact words to write. What I have you write below in parenthesis are my words, given to elucidate my exact meaning in the words of Nephi.

In 2 Nephi 30:3, Nephi referred to the coming forth of the Book of Mormon, in a record that was sealed up again to the Lord. He then said "there shall be many which shall believe the words which are written; and they shall carry them forth unto the remnant of our seed.". This has partially already happened in your day, through the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It will continue to happen as your record comes forth among the elect of God who are the remnant of the once great Nephite and Lamanite nations.

In verse 5, I said through Nephi said that "And the gospel of Jesus Christ shall be declared among them". This was partially also fulfilled through the coming forth of the Book of Mormon, but more particularly through your Book of Raphael. The full "knowledge of their fathers, and also to the knowledge of Jesus Christ, which was had among their fathers" will come forth with greater clarity through your record. The knowledge of Jesus Christ has been greatly enhanced in the Book of Raphael.

When the remnant of the seed of Lehi, who live in your day, come to read your Book of Raphael, "then shall they rejoice; for they shall know that it is a blessing unto them from the hand of God;" They will know that both the Book of Mormon, and your Book of Raphael are from the hand of God, and they will believe both books. As they press forth, acting on my promptings that I will give them through the Holy Ghost (who is me), the "scales of darkness (both physical darkness in the darker skin color of their body and the spiritual darkness that comes from mistaken beliefs and understandings) shall begin to fall from their eyes (and bodies); and many generations shall not pass away among them, save they shall be a pure and a delightsome people (this will be in the beginning of the millennium, when they will become such a beautiful, faithful and holy people. Jesus Christ will walk among them once again as he did as recorded in 3 Nephi, and even the Father and I will be seen among them, even though most of them won't see us until they come into the Church of the Firstborn as you receive them into that celestial church through the waters of separation ordinance.)"

In verse 7, once the elect of God, including the Gentiles, Jews and all the righteous of the house of Israel scattered over the earth, begin to believe in Jesus Christ, then they too will "begin to gather in upon the face of the land (this is in the terrestrial world of the New Jerusalem, away from the calamity that will be coming in the telestial mortal world of your earth); and as many as shall believe in Christ shall also become a delightsome people.

This will all happen in not many more years in fulfillment of 2 Nephi 30:8:
"And it shall come to pass that the Lord God shall commence his work (this is the great and marvelous work, even a marvelous work and a wonder) among all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people, to bring about the restoration of his people (this is the complete gathering of my elect who will be gathered to the New Jerusalem, who will be brought into the great millennial day of peace and rest) upon the earth.""

Heavenly Mother stopped speaking to me. I felt very enlightened with her words, and felt the assurance of her Spirit, even the Holy Ghost, that what I had received was truly from her and not myself. I thanked her for her words she gave to me this morning.

May 22-24, 2025
The past few days I have been editing the online Book of Raphael, mostly for grammatical issues and corrections in the html code. Yesterday, I felt a surge of assurance that what I had been doing was very pleasing to my Heavenly Parents.

I prayed this morning, on May 22nd, what I might be directed to study in the scriptures. I was led to read again 1 Nephi 13. My thoughts became focused upon these verses:

1 Nephi 13:5-9
"And the angel said unto me: Behold the formation of a church which is most abominable above all other churches, which slayeth the saints of God, yea, and tortureth them and bindeth them down, and yoketh them with a yoke of iron, and bringeth them down into captivity.

And it came to pass that I beheld this great and abominable church; and I saw the devil that he was the founder of it.

And I also saw gold, and silver, and silks, and scarlets, and fine-twined linen, and all manner of precious clothing; and I saw many harlots.

And the angel spake unto me, saying: Behold the gold, and the silver, and the silks, and the scarlets, and the fine-twined linen, and the precious clothing, and the harlots, are the desires of this great and abominable church.

And also for the praise of the world do they destroy the saints of God, and bring them down into captivity."

I felt that my Heavenly Mother wanted to speak to me about these verses now. Here are her words that I received over the past two days in prayer and meditation:

"Raphael, this is your Heavenly Mother speaking to you about these verses above, and about the current state of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. You were the angel that spoke to our servant Nephi about your very day in which you live (see 92E3-92E16). You showed in vision to Nephi the formation of this great and abominable church, more wicked above all organizations on the earth in that future day. This evil organization has continued growing even to the time in which you live, and now includes not only what you call churches, but many governments, industries, banking institutions, secret combinations, religious organizations, groups of people who are promoting evil, and Satan's plan to destroy the work of God.

Recently, with the beginning of the administration in the LDS Church of President Russell M. Nelson, the church that we restored through the prophet Joseph Smith has also taken its place among the others in the great and abominable church of the devil. This has been quietly done, behind closed doors, and very carefully so as not to alert even the very elect. It was initiated when President Nelson travelled with all of the twelve apostles to Rome to visit the Pope in secret meetings. See 115D5-115D7 where I spoke to you on March 17, 2019 about this visit. Here is what I had you write at that time:"

From Heavenly Mother, March 17, 2019: 'I would like to address another topic now. You have read recently that President Russell M. Nelson has taken all of the twelve apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to Rome for the dedication of the LDS temple in that city. He said he did this because God has told him to do this. However, we have not told him, nor inspired him to go there. If it wasn't us, then who was it?'

I replied I believed it was the adversary, coming to him as if he were God.

'Raphael, you are correct. Satan has given to President Nelson that revelation, and not us, your Gods. The visit to Rome of the leaders of the LDS Church was to promote a plan initiated by Lucifer in which he will make Rome a center place for his dominion over the earth. Rome, which has seven hills, was spoken of by John the Revelator in Revelation 19:9 "The seven heads (of the beast) are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth." The woman is described in Revelation 17:3-6. She sits upon a scarlet colored beast, full of names of blasphemy, abominations and filthiness. The beast upon which she sits lives in the Vatican, a city within Rome, with where President Nelson visited during his recent trip. The beast and the false prophet are spoken of in Revelation 19:20. The false prophet is President Nelson. He will become very great in the eyes of many people and will wrought miracles to deceive the people. The beast is Pope Francis. These two have a friendship and alliance and will be controlled by Lucifer in deceiving and ultimately bringing away from Jesus Christ many people.'

"Raphael, now that Pope Francis has recently died, the beast designation is transferred to the next Pope, Pope Leo XIV. President Nelson is still designated as the false prophet, both spoken about in Revelation 19:20.

In the meetings between Pope Francis and President Nelson on March 9–12, 2019, President Nelson agreed to build temples at a very increased rate across the earth. These temples would become increasingly places of worship for the Latter-day Saints, for that is what President Nelson said he would vigorously promote. President Nelson had called this event in Rome, Italy a hinge point in the history of the church.

Today, over six years later, the temple building of the LDS Church has been significantly increased, with many talks by leading church authorities giving emphasis and encouragement for members to increase temple worship. This has all been done without any revelation or direction from us, your Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, or me, your Heavenly Mother who also is the Holy Ghost. These directives have instead been inspired by Satan himself, who wishes to carefully lead the elect of God astray. President Nelson has the full support of members of the twelve apostles, all who have lost their priesthood and priesthood keys, and are without our divine guidance (see 43B6-43B25).

The verses in 1 Nephi 13:5-9 that you quoted above are partially fulfilled in your day with the unprecedented building of very elaborate and expensive temples across the world. In verse 7, Nephi said this: "And I also saw gold, and silver, and silks, and scarlets, and fine-twined linen, and all manner of precious clothing; and I saw many harlots." The modern temples, and renovated temples of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints also fit into this same category of expensive and lavish. The temples are constructed of the highest quality of materials available in your world.

Some might think that 1 Nephi 13:5-9 refers to a previous time in history, and not in your day but prior in time sequence to what follows in the chapter. They are mistaken, for Nephi saw various visions during the time that you, as an angel of God, instructed him. This section was a different vision than that which follows in the chapter, where Nephi saw Columbus and the settling of America. In 1 Nephi 13:5-9, Nephi saw the full breadth of the formation and growth of the great and abominable church of the devil, even from the beginning to your current day and into the future.

Nephi also speaks of many harlots in 1 Nephi 13:8. The harlots that Nephi saw were not in the temples, but in the lives of many of the active members of the church who attend temples, and the people in your society. The word harlots encompasses pornography and secret and illicit sexual relationships outside of marriage, including the secret desires of the hearts of the people. Many members of the church are not much different in their exposure to and desires for these evils and these secret thoughts in their hearts than those in the society in which they live. These are promoted in movies in theaters, online videos, immodest clothing and actions of the people, immoral pictures that surround you, and lyrics in sensuous and drumming music in your modern society. All of these reflect what Nephi saw and labeled as "many harlots". Even the great and abominable church is called the great whore, and mother of harlots, the mother of abominations, all terms reflecting the great sexual perversions and wickedness that prevails across your current world.

When a man or a woman want to frequently view pornography, their heart's desire focuses on illicit sexual desires, outside the bounds of marriage and propriety. Jesus Christ spoke on this in Matthew 5:28-
"But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart."

Nephi saw such rampant sexual sin in your day, not only in the world, but with members of the LDS Church. This plague of having harlots, in either actual or pornographic practice, causes the withdrawal of the Spirit of God and my Holy Ghost.

I would like to differentiate now those who think of themselves as good, upright, or Christian people in your world, and those whom we have selected as our elect who are or will be sanctified, or called by Nephi the "saints of God" in Nephi's next chapter, 1 Nephi 14:12:
"And it came to pass that I beheld the church of the Lamb of God, and its numbers were few, because of the wickedness and abominations of the whore who sat upon many waters; nevertheless, I beheld that the church of the Lamb, who were the saints of God, were also upon all the face of the earth; and their dominions upon the face of the earth were small, because of the wickedness of the great whore whom I saw."

These whom Nephi calls the church of the Lamb of God, or the saints of God, are those who we have chosen as our elect who do not partake of these wicked practices of your modern society. These practices and desires include the mind and heart of our elect, and their actions in truly following the example of our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ. These are those we have chosen to populate the millennial world of purity, peace and rest.

I would now like to return to the current emphasis of temple worship in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. As you know, we no longer accept any of the ordinances in the temples, including baptisms for the dead and laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost, which we would normally accept (see 43N14-43N15). This is because the priesthood keys are removed from this church, and they are now as other Christian churches in the world. The press to build more temples, and to encourage church members to attend the temple more often is a distraction for what we would have them do. We would have all people look after the poor and needy around them, to bless others with service, acceptance and kindness, and to spend time in wholesome activities to directly improve their communities. More time in the temple restricts these outward actions of true Christian service, and masquerades true Christian actions.

We wish our people to pray to us for the Holy Ghost (me) to be with them, and to guide them in what they should do. I will then inspire them to act on what I see as the greatest need in their lives and those who are around them, including turning them outward and serving and loving others. The LDS church is emphasizing cloistered activities in the temples, where only those who attend receive a temple recommend. The requirements of that recommend is to accept President Nelson as the only person who holds all the priesthood keys and is God's spokesman on earth, and the rest of the twelve as prophets, seers and revelators, and a requirement to pay a full tithe to the church, which tithing procedures have been changed (see 158F8-158F13). None of these are condoned by us who are their Gods, nor is this emphasis on increased temple worship of our direction."

I deeply thanked my Heavenly Mother for her very direct words! I did not come up with these thoughts, but freely wrote them as they came into my heart and mind. I mulled over this revelation over several days, and have three times heard Heavenly Mother speak to me that these are her words and not mine. I will therefore present it as her words to those who might read this record.

May 26, 2025
This morning I read 1 Nephi 13:40-42:
"And the angel spake unto me, saying: These last records, which thou hast seen among the Gentiles, shall establish the truth of the first, which are of the twelve apostles of the Lamb, and shall make known the plain and precious things which have been taken away from them; and shall make known to all kindreds, tongues, and people, that the Lamb of God is the Son of the Eternal Father, and the Savior of the world; and that all men must come unto him, or they cannot be saved.

And they must come according to the words which shall be established by the mouth of the Lamb; and the words of the Lamb shall be made known in the records of thy seed, as well as in the records of the twelve apostles of the Lamb; wherefore they both shall be established in one; for there is one God and one Shepherd over all the earth.

And the time cometh that he shall manifest himself unto all nations, both unto the Jews and also unto the Gentiles; and after he has manifested himself unto the Jews and also unto the Gentiles, then he shall manifest himself unto the Gentiles and also unto the Jews, and the last shall be first, and the first shall be last."

I read what I had recorded last February 19, 2025, and in my notes under Isaiah 29:14, about a Marvelous Work and a Wonder that includes the calling and works of Raphael. I know that this includes the Book of Raphael. As I was pondering these things, I asked if my Heavenly Father wanted to share anything with me about this topic. He gently indicated that he had something to share with me. Here are his words:

"Raphael, my son, the words that you spoke as an angel of God to Nephi, found in 1 Nephi 13:40-42, are words that I had commanded you to speak to him. You came to him as my messenger, as my archangel, who had just left my presence with this message. You knew that you were giving him revelation that one day you would read and ponder when you came in the flesh. This is the time that that revelation is fulfilled!

Your record of Raphael, now divided up into three volumes and all online, is available to all the world. Although there are a few inconsequential mistakes still in this record, it is fully acceptable to us. You have been diligent in routing out any faults that we have inspired you to correct. It is now as perfect as mortal man may produce.

Your record makes known the "plain and precious things" (verse 40) no longer found in the original Bible manuscripts, before these fell into the hands of the great and abominable church of the devil. Your record also contains many great and marvelous truths never before revealed to man, which your Heavenly Mother and I have waited to be revealed in the last days. These truths in the Book of Raphael will be very convincing to our elect, found all across the world, who may read, ponder, and verify as true from us, their Heavenly Parents. Your record has come forth by the power of God to establish the truth of the Book of Mormon, the Bible, the Doctrine and Covenants, the Pearl of Great Price, the Joseph Smith Translation of parts of the Bible, and other true records which are already available to them. Your Book of Raphael is the capstone of all these records, bringing them together into one great record, "established in one" (verse 41). These all bear record of the existence and purposes of God, their Heavenly Parents, the mission of Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son, and our step-by-step plans to save the elect in our celestial kingdom.

We will now start inspiring our elect to find your record. We will bear witness to them, by my Spirit and the Holy Ghost, which will come upon them when they humbly and in faith inquire in prayer to us about the truths in your record. Your book will be promoted by all of our heavenly servants, including the 144,000 servants who are commissioned to gather our elect from all over the earth. Coupled with our Spirit, the Book of Raphael has the great gathering power to bring our elect to Zion, the New Jerusalem, where the pure in heart will be gathered into safe garners."

I felt great peace as I finished writing the words of my Heavenly Father in my journal entry today! I prayed in my heart whether I had correctly written his words, which I immediately felt that I had done.

Oh, I feel so blessed to be able to bring forth this great work! I believe that our Gods and their servants will reveal this Book of Raphael to the faithful, inspiring them to read, ponder and pray about it. I pray that they will receive and believe these great truths as I even received them from God. I then hope they will have the motivation and lasting assurance to act in faith in what they are inspired to do, to change their lives and to follow God's promptings.

May 27, 2025
This morning I read carefully 1 Nephi 14:3-4:
"And that great pit, which hath been digged for them by that great and abominable church, which was founded by the devil and his children, that he might lead away the souls of men down to hell—yea, that great pit which hath been digged for the destruction of men shall be filled by those who digged it, unto their utter destruction, saith the Lamb of God; not the destruction of the soul, save it be the casting of it into that hell which hath no end.

For behold, this is according to the captivity of the devil, and also according to the justice of God, upon all those who will work wickedness and abomination before him."

I had addressed this in 1 Nephi 14:3-4, calling those who digged the pit as evil people in multitudinous organizations. Heavenly Mother spoke of 1 Nephi 14:3 as "the sinister and evil plans of conspiring men and women." (see 165H30-165H31). She also said in that post this: "These have all been inspired and directed by Satan, for he has led those who laid those evil plans with thoughts of greater power, wealth and control over the masses. This great evil will be turned upon those who planned it, and they will fall by the trickery and captivity of the devil, both temporally and spiritually. Those who work wickedness will be destroyed, and their spirits will be cast down to dark spirit places of the dead where they will be spiritually held captive."

I have been reminded again recently that there are those in my family who seek to manipulate, control, and work cleverly family situations to place them in control of others for their own gain, satisfaction and desires. These individuals say one story to one person, and another story to another, weaving in their stories little lies that cleverly mask the truth. I have been wondering how they could even think that way, and how did they get so expert in their devices? There are references in the Book of Mormon of people like Amalickiah and people in Alma and Amulek's day who used these clever devices to entrap the innocent (see Alma 46:10 and Alma 10:13). All of these devices, spoken and woven cleverly to their own purposes, are inspired by the evil one who is the master of sin and father of lies (see Mosiah 4:14 and 2 Nephi 2:18). I know that Satan wields his power and control over these individuals in my own immediate and extended family by these clever devices which he subtly teaches them.

I have felt this morning that those who dig the "great pit, which hath been digged for them by that great and abominable church, which was founded by the devil and his children", includes those in my family and in many other families, who seek to "lead away the souls of men down to hell" (see verse 3 above). This is all inspired by the devil, the master deceiver and the evil one. These individuals are unknowingly part of the great and abominable church of the devil. They might think that they are alone in their clever plans and sinister desires, but they are truly inspired by Lucifer and his evil ones. We, in their families, are the ones they seek to entrap and lead away from God.

As I was pondering these things, Heavenly Mother's voice came into my mind, wanting to say something. Here are her words that she is speaking directly to me in my mind and heart:

"Raphael, you are correct that there are those in your family, and also in millions of families across the earth, who work clever devices to entrap others in their families, dragging them down to hell. This is because they yield to the pride of their hearts, being boastful and self-promoting, and seeking materialism. They want to put themselves on top and push other down, for they perceive this is an acceptable way to navigate through life and keep their own personal ego high. They seek external validation from others to boost their ego, rather than finding their worth from God in their humility. They are motivated by power, gain and control over others. They work all situations and maintain relationships to this end. This is the method of the adversary, who takes every opportunity to enslave mankind, one individual at a time. His sinister methods are often done in the family, and not just in organizations whose focus is usually upon a larger group of people.

Your Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and I send forth our Spirit upon our children in their mortal estate, to choose light and truth, and to walk humbly before us. However, many choose evil instead of the light, and eagerly follow Satan. It has been this way since the beginning, and will continue until the destruction of the telestial mortal world in which you live.

Moses 5:12-13
"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."

Raphael, one of the main purposes for mortality is for us to see who our children will follow. There are those in your family, as in all families across the earth, who follow Satan more than God, often unknowingly. They do not repent, but continue to become more expert in their evil devices. They seek to entrap and pull down others away from the practices and teaching of our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ. They include members of the LDS Church and many other churches across the earth, whose teachings they do not follow.

When the day of judgment comes upon all of our children, those who have been a tool for Satan, or who have followed his promptings throughout their lives, and have not repented, will be judged and not be able to ascend with the righteous into our celestial kingdom. In the future day ahead, when we determine who will come into the great millennial day, those individuals who loved Satan more than God, by their actions, will be destroyed in the flesh and not be allowed into our era of peace and rest. They will be bound in the spirit prison until such time as they might repent and come unto our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ. Satan will also be bound and chained so that he can no longer tempt our millennial children until the end of the mortal earth.

In the interim, you will have these individuals in your family who will love Satan more than God. You will need to be wary of these family members, and ensure that you too are not entrapped by their clever devices. You will likely see some family members who will be swayed by them, and may also become like them. You will see others who will stay away from these deceivers and manipulators, and have their own personal boundaries to shield themselves. My advice to you is to allow all of your posterity to choose whom they will, for this is part of our mortal probationary plan. However, for yourself, keep your distance from those who choose evil over light. Love and accept all, who they are, but don't embrace any of the sinister devices of the devil that are manifest in your very own family."

I felt relieved to have this revelation from my Heavenly Mother today! I have been puzzling over how much interaction to have with the few who practice these clever devices of the devil in my family. I relate to Adam and Eve, who were plagued with these problems from the beginning. I too mourn over those who choose evil over light in my family (Moses 5:27 "And Adam and his wife mourned before the Lord, because of Cain and his brethren.").

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her very relevant and inspiring words to me this morning! I feel her light and acceptance in my heart as I write this.

Today I reviewed what I had written yesterday, and fixed a few sentences that were awkward. I also added some more that my Heavenly Mother wanted me to add. I feel it is just how she wants it now!

I next thought of the scriptures, and felt I should study the first chapter of Isaiah, particularly Isaiah 1:9:
"Except the Lord of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah."

This brought me to the thought that I had been mulling over yesterday: "How many of God's children on earth are chosen as God's elect, and will move forward into the millennium?"

My wife and I had been working with others in our ward on a committee, and among the eight individuals we work with, only three others even do their assignments at all. Most of these three say they will do an assignment, but rarely even do it. They then have excuses why they didn't do what they said they would do. My wife and I are the only ones who act in integrity, doing what we say we will do. It has been very surprising to us! We were taught that honor and integrity mean that you will do what you say you will do. If some problem comes up, and another person is depending upon you, then you would immediately let them know of the change of plans.

How can a person lacking integrity be brought into the millennial world? I believe if one doesn't do what he or she says, and God still chooses them to be elected to come into the terrestrial millennial world, then God knows they will repent and change.

Here is what God said to Isaiah about those chosen as the elect of God, who yet need to repent and change their lives:

Isaiah 1:16-20
"Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;

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

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

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

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

I sought guidance about these thoughts I was having, from my Heavenly Father. Here is what I next received from him:

"Raphael, my son, your Heavenly Mother and I have already chosen our elect whom we will bring into our millennial world. Many of these need to repent, make major changes in their mortal lives, and align themselves with our gospel teachings and practices. We know that most will change before they fully become our millennial terrestrial individuals. Some will still need to change their habits and behaviors when they enter that peaceful state in the millennium. However, the tribulations that are coming will motivate most of our elect to repent, humble themselves before us, and align their lives with the gospel of Jesus Christ. See also your Heavenly Mother's words about this subject in 178D11-178D21.

Those whom we have not chosen, based on our Godly foresight, will divide off from our righteous elect more and more. Our elect will flee to Zion for safety (see D&C 45:68-70) in the ever tumultuous times ahead, that will divide the sheep (our elect) from the goats (my comments in parenthesis below):

Matthew 25:31-46
"When the Son of man shall come in his glory (this is the second coming of my Beloved Son, Jesus Christ), and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:

And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats (the great division (see 2 Nephi 30:10) of the people at that day will be clear: the sheep are the elect, on Christ's right hand, who are caught up in the clouds of heaven to meet him (D&C 76:63). The goats are those left on the telestial earth who have chosen to follow Satan more than God):

And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world (this kingdom is the entry into the terrestrial millennial mortal world of peace and rest):

For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?

When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?

Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. (Our elect who are the sheep, will have learned to serve others selflessly, to minister to their wants and needs, and to have routed out of their lives the clever and deceptive teachings and practices of the adversary. They will have accepted the truth, and will have not been deceived-see D&C 45:56-57.)

Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:

I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.

Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.

And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: (Those whose lives are carnal, sensual and devilish, who love darkness more than light by their outward practices, who are full of pride and evil, will at that day, be destroyed in the flesh and brought into the spirit prison. They will not be able to enjoy the peace and rest as their brothers and sisters who have aligned their lives with God.) but the righteous into life eternal.""

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his concise words to me this morning! I feel so blessed, and full of his light. Oh, I love the revelations of God!

May 30, 2025
This morning I was drawn to the following scripture in 1 Nephi 11:12-23:
"And it came to pass that he said unto me: Look! And I looked as if to look upon him, and I saw him not; for he had gone from before my presence.

And it came to pass that I looked and beheld the great city of Jerusalem, and also other cities. And I beheld the city of Nazareth; and in the city of Nazareth I beheld a virgin, and she was exceedingly fair and white.

And it came to pass that I saw the heavens open; and an angel came down and stood before me; and he said unto me: Nephi, what beholdest thou?

And I said unto him: A virgin, most beautiful and fair above all other virgins.

And he said unto me: Knowest thou the condescension of God?

And I said unto him: I know that he loveth his children; nevertheless, I do not know the meaning of all things.

And he said unto me: Behold, the virgin whom thou seest is the mother of the Son of God, after the manner of the flesh.

And it came to pass that I beheld that she was carried away in the Spirit; and after she had been carried away in the Spirit for the space of a time the angel spake unto me, saying: Look!

And I looked and beheld the virgin again, bearing a child in her arms.

And the angel said unto me: Behold the Lamb of God, yea, even the Son of the Eternal Father! Knowest thou the meaning of the tree which thy father saw?

And I answered him, saying: Yea, it is the love of God, which sheddeth itself abroad in the hearts of the children of men; wherefore, it is the most desirable above all things.

And he spake unto me, saying: Yea, and the most joyous to the soul."

Before these verses, the Holy Ghost, or Heavenly Mother, had come to Nephi, disguised as a man, or Nephi thinking the Spirit of God was a man. She left at the time that Nephi was shown the beautiful virgin who would be the mother of the Son of God in the flesh. Nephi saw that this virgin was carried away in the Spirit, which was by the power of the Holy Ghost, or Heavenly Mother. This is why this angel, who was Raphael, came to Mary at this time, and that the Spirit of God, or the Holy Ghost, left. Were Nephi to have the Holy Ghost (Heavenly Mother) remain next to him, and then to see her take Mary away for the space of a time, it might have confused Nephi. I believe God didn't want Nephi to learn of the principle of replication which was later revealed to me, as part of the revealing of all truth.

What actually happened at this time was that Heavenly Mother had received the seed of Heavenly Father and was pregnant. This Holy Seed was that of the Jesus Christ. Then, while yet a small fetus, Heavenly Mother, as her role as the Spirit of God, overshadowed Mary and transferred the seed of the Father to Mary. Once this was done, Mary became pregnant and Heavenly Mother no longer was pregnant, for the seed had been transferred to the mother of the Son of Man, even the virgin Mary.

Nephi saw that Mary was carried away by the Holy Ghost, but apparently didn't see the transfer of the Holy Seed of Jesus Christ from Heavenly Mother to Mary. This was called by the angel Gabriel as "overshadowed":

Luke 1:35
"And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God."

As I was pondering over these things, Heavenly Mother's voice came into my mind with these words:

"Raphael, you were chosen by your Heavenly Father and me to reveal to Nephi this great mystery of a simplified version of how the beautiful virgin Mary became the mother of the Son of God. Gabriel, your next older archangel brother in the spirit, revealed this same event to Mary when she was about to be transferred the Holy Seed from me. I received this Holy Seed from the Father as his wife and eternal companion, through the process of procreation. This was done in our resurrected bodies. The Holy Seed was a physical seed, not a spirit seed. In Nephi's vision, I left him and you came in my place as the angel of God. You showed Nephi in vision that Mary came from Nazareth, and was a beautiful virgin. Nephi saw that Mary was carried away in the Spirit (which was me) for a time. I chose not to remain next to Nephi in this vision as I, as the Spirit of God, did my Godly work with Mary. You correctly thought that this replication process wasn't to be revealed to Nephi, but later to be revealed to you when you would be in the flesh.

Although I was resurrected, I could also replicate myself as a spirit-only being, even as the Holy Ghost. As the Holy Ghost, I transferred the physical Holy Seed (see 40D7, 91E14, 130F10-130F11, 134A4-134A5) in my spirit womb to Mary's physical womb. This is difficult for mortals to grasp. However, this sort of action is one of my abilities that I did by the power of God that I possess. It was during the period "for the space of a time" (1 Nephi 11:19) that this was done. Nephi did not see these details of this transfer in his vision. However, I did implant the physical fertilized seed of Jesus Christ from my womb to Mary's womb by overshadowing her. Mary therefore became pregnant without knowing a man, or being impregnated by a man. This is the great mystery of what some call the immaculate conception of Mary.

One of the significant aspects of this vision to Nephi was that he saw that in Jesus Christ, the Son of the Eternal Father and Mother, was the love of God made manifest on the earth. Raphael, once Nephi saw Mary with the infant Son of God in her arms, you immediately asked Nephi about the meaning of the tree:
"And the angel said unto me: Behold the Lamb of God, yea, even the Son of the Eternal Father! Knowest thou the meaning of the tree which thy father saw?

And I answered him, saying: Yea, it is the love of God, which sheddeth itself abroad in the hearts of the children of men; wherefore, it is the most desirable above all things." (1 Nephi 11:21-22)

Your Heavenly Father and I have chosen Jesus Christ, the great premortal Jehovah, to carry forth our love to our beloved children on the earth. We have focused in him this great love, represented by the tree of life that both Lehi and Nephi saw in vision, and which you have later seen in reality on our celestial orb and in the New Jerusalem. In the great millennium, in the land of Eden where the celestial temple is located, there are two trees of life, next to the fountain of living water. Jesus Christ is both represented in the tree of life and in the fountain of living water as the true source that provides the redemption to the faithful. Both the tree of life and the fountain of living water represent the love of God (see 1 Nephi 11:25)"

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her beautiful words to me today! I have felt her presence close to me as I have written her words. I know that she wanted me to reveal these great mysteries to me again.

I closed my morning prayer in the name of Jesus Christ.

Today I read 1 Nephi 14:17, and was impressed that I live in this era right now: "And when the day cometh that the wrath of God is poured out upon the mother of harlots, which is the great and abominable church of all the earth, whose founder is the devil, then, at that day, the work of the Father shall commence, in preparing the way for the fulfilling of his covenants, which he hath made to his people who are of the house of Israel."

I believe that this exact time spoken of by Nephi was the 2nd inauguration day of President Donald Trump and the day of online publication of the Book of Raphael, on January 21, 2025. Nephi says in 1 Nephi 14:17 that this would be the day also when the "wrath of God is poured out upon the mother of harlots, which is the great and abominable church of all the earth". He said also that "the work of the Father shall commence, in preparing the way for the fulfilling of his covenants, which he hath made to his people who are of the house of Israel." The eternal covenants are expressly contained in the Book of Raphael (see the beginning of these eternal covenants in 200E41-200E47).

What happens after January 21, 2025 is that the wrath of God really becomes poured out without measure upon the wicked world we live in. I have seen this in the news daily, with the Trump Administration revealing so many of these sinister and false combinations of government and industry. The new government leaders are finding corruption, excess spending, and wickedness in high places.

June 1-3, 2025
I read again this morning 1 Nephi chapter 14. Today my eyes settled on 1 Nephi 14:14:
"And it came to pass that I, Nephi, beheld the power of the Lamb of God, that it descended upon the saints of the church of the Lamb, and upon the covenant people of the Lord, who were scattered upon all the face of the earth; and they were armed with righteousness and with the power of God in great glory."

While reading this verses 13-14 in my references in the Book of Mormon, I came across this post which I wrote on October 29, 2020 in
177B11, from Heavenly Mother: ""And it came to pass that I Nephi, beheld the power of the Lamb of God, that it descended upon the saints of the church of the Lamb, and upon the covenant people of the Lord (these are our elect who will eventually be all gathered and come to Zion), who were scattered upon all the face of the earth, and they were armed with righteousness and with the power of God in great glory (even to becoming transitioned into a terrestrial mortal realm of the New Jerusalem and her surrounding communities of Zion, where the wicked cannot penetrate or come)." (words in parentheses from Heavenly Mother)."

In this post above, Heavenly Mother identified the saints of the Lamb as the elect of God. She said that they would be armed with the power of God when they are transitioned from their current telestial mortal state into a terrestrial mortal state. This is in two phases: first the state of their persons (changed from a telestial to a terrestrial mortal), and second transitioned to the location of the terrestrial New Jerusalem and her surrounding communities of Zion. The terrestrial realm is fully protected from the telestial mortal realm where we now live, for the telestial cannot come into the terrestrial mortal realm because of the impassible veil between these realms.

I searched my posts, and found this post I received in October 2019, about the changing of the elect who are chosen of God, from a telestial mortal state to a terrestrial mortal state in 140H4-140H12: "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.

"...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."

I know that this change from a telestial to a terrestrial mortal state has already happened to me (see 141D19-141D28 and 141E7-141E11) I read this from Heavenly Mother in 141F11: "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!"

I also found this post in November, 2019: 142G10-142G14: "The millennial earth will no longer be suitable for our telestial creations except our own children for all will transition on her surface from a telestial state to an elevated terrestrial state. This will include all plants and animals.

However, our own children will not transition from their lower, fallen telestial state to that of a higher terrestrial state unless we individually change them. This process will include a transfiguration process done in their unconscious state by your Father and I, like you observed and wrote about on Thursday, 10-24-2019 in the evening. The remainder of our children that are not changed by us will not tolerate the changed terrestrial earth, and will perish, for we will not quicken them to a terrestrial glory.

Thus only our terrestrial elect whom the Father has chosen will be able to enter into the millennial terrestrial world. All our creations will gradually change from their telestial state to a higher terrestrial state.

Raphael, part of your change to a terrestrial mortal person is the increased clarity you experienced in your mind and thoughts. What you felt today, with clearer subtle thoughts, will increase not only in your own mind, but in those that we will change into terrestrial mortals.

They will all have better connections to their unconscious self, and the heavy veil that shrouds their own minds will significantly lessen. Were they to develop skills in meditation and quietness, they would also sense these same subtle thoughts you described this morning."

I also wondered if there will be any of the power of God that will come upon these elect before they are transitioned into the New Jerusalem, the ultimate place of safety? Once their spirits would have been taught in the nighttime, in their sleep, the truths of God

As I was thinking about these things, Heavenly Mother spoke clearly to my mind, and wanted me to write her words:

"Raphael, the awakening and arming of our elect has already started with them being fully taught in our celestial realms at night while they slumbered on earth (see 171D16, 177H5, and 190F11). This has already been completed. Their unconscious minds have now grasped the truths that are contained in your record, the Book of Raphael.

In addition, our elect have received the shields of the Father, and then each has been transitioned from a mortal telestial to a mortal terrestral state (see 139E8-139E25). Satan nor any of his hosts are no longer able to influence them directly.

Now that they know and have internalized these truths, when they are led to your online Book of Raphael, they will immediately recognize these truths. They will then be motivated to confirm that your record is true, with its multiple revelations that they have already been taught in their unconscious state. These individuals have also been previously changed to a mortal, terrestrial individuals without their knowing. As such, they have greater power to resist Satan and his lies and deceptions.

These, our elect we have chosen, will then come to understand in their mortal, conscious minds the need for them to separate from the telestial world in which they live, and come to Zion, the pure in heart in the terrestrial realm of the New Jerusalem. This desire will fill their hearts and minds and consume their thoughts. They will pray to us to guide them to Zion. We will then inspire them on their individual trek to Zion. Many will gather some items and depart on foot. Some will be inspired to wait for one or more of the 144,000 to come and transport them to Zion. In all cases, their faith will be tested as they come to Zion. They will at some point leave their telestial mortal earth and enter into the realms of the terrestrial mortal earth. They will be warmly greeted with our elect who live in Zion, and given a place to live in Zion.

The scripture in 1 Nephi 14:14 speaks about the saints of the church of the Lamb of God (who are our elect) being "armed with righteousness and with the power of God in great glory". This glory has been gradually coming upon them, and includes their being chosen of God, receiving the shields of the Father, being transitioned from telestial to terrestrial elect, accepting the truths in the Book of Raphael and other scriptures, and then moving to Zion, a terrestrial location where they will be protected from the wicked who reside in the telestial world. Today, these, our elect, mostly do not realize the glory they have already received. Nevertheless, it will greatly increase as they seek from us personal revelation to confirm the many truths in the Book of Raphael. They will be armed with the knowledge of their righteous state, and gain the confidence to come to Zion. These will meet Christ in the clouds of heaven when he returns in glory to the earth, when they themselves will be temporarily clothed with much greater glory and light when they descend to the terrestrial earth with him. All of these who are mortals will then be transitioned into millennial world of peace and rest! Oh, what marvelous days are ahead for these our righteous elect!"

I felt very enlightened by my study of 1 Nephi 14:14 over these past few days, and particularly from Heavenly Mother's words! I know what I have written to be true. I pray that those who receive this record to pray whether they are of the elect of God, and will be further clothed in righteousness and the power of God in great glory.

June 4, 2025
I am so grateful for my Heavenly Parents to be near to me each day! I feel very blessed to receive revelations like over the past few days on 1 Nephi 14:14. These insights are new to me, and have all been confirmed by my Heavenly Mother's words that flowed into my mind after I had studied all I could concerning this prophetic verse that speaks of our very day.

This morning my mind dwelt on 1 Nephi 14:15-17:
"And it came to pass that I beheld that the wrath of God was poured out upon that great and abominable church, insomuch that there were wars and rumors of wars among all the nations and kindreds of the earth.

And as there began to be wars and rumors of wars among all the nations which belonged to the mother of abominations, the angel spake unto me, saying: Behold, the wrath of God is upon the mother of harlots; and behold, thou seest all these things—

And when the day cometh that the wrath of God is poured out upon the mother of harlots, which is the great and abominable church of all the earth, whose founder is the devil, then, at that day, the work of the Father shall commence, in preparing the way for the fulfilling of his covenants, which he hath made to his people who are of the house of Israel."

I have already received direction on verse 17 above on May 31 and April 21-22, given in my journal above. Here are Heavenly Father's words about 1 Nephi 14:17 that he revealed to me:
"And when the day cometh that the wrath of God is poured out upon the mother of harlots, which is the great and abominable church of all the earth, whose founder is the devil, then, at that day, (This is your very day, in 2025, with Donald Trump in his second term as President of the United States. The wrath of God is now being poured out upon the democratic party, the elites, the deep state of the United States, and all evil and conspiring men and women in your day, with their evil works exposed before all the world. The news agencies that had been previously funded by the US Government are continuing their fake news, and creating false stories to derail the people from the truth. However, the plans of this great and abominable church, to which these all belong, the whore of all the earth, are being exposed and destroyed by we Gods ourselves, as we pour out our wrath upon them),

the work of the Father shall commence, in preparing the way for the fulfilling of his covenants, which he hath made to his people who are of the house of Israel. (The righteous elect will be given some time of relative peace [see my words in your note dated December 15, 2024 under D&C 45:26-27,31] where they may discover God and our wonderful covenants we have in store for them, even the covenant of eternal life, given in the Church of the Firstborn)"

As I was pondering this, Heavenly Father prompted me this morning to write more of his words:

"Raphael, this is your Heavenly Father speaking to your unconscious mind. I am pleased that you are able to hear my voice, and write more of my words on 1 Nephi 14:15-17.

I had previously spoken to you that the great evil in the United States would be exposed to all the people, before all the world. My wrath from this day on will also be poured upon all nations across the world who are linked into the great and abominable church of the devil. As Nephi prophesied, in 1 Nephi 14:15, "that there were wars and rumors of wars among all the nations and kindreds of the earth", so shall it be. Peace talks in these other nations will break down as one country after another, does not keep their promises. This is now happening between Ukraine and Russia, and will end up in continued war and calamity across the earth. Wars will break out anew in other lands as well, until Nephi's words will be fulfilled wherein he says "there began to be wars and rumors of wars among all the nations which belonged to the mother of abominations."

In your own country, however, I will postpone the ravages of war, and create relative peace in your land for at least the next approximately four years. My purpose in doing so will be to allow my elect across the earth to find your record and be taught by our Spirit, the Holy Ghost, and our host of heavenly beings the great truths that we have revealed to you. Our elect will recognize these revelations as true, for these are the same that they have been taught recently in our celestial realms above, even in their unconscious minds, in their spirits.

Raphael, this is the day of my great work, a marvelous work and a wonder, that your Heavenly Mother and I are orchestrating to save our elect children! We are carefully leading each one into safe garners, even to end up in the terrestrial mortal realm of the New Jerusalem where the desolating evil in the telestial world cannot overtake them. In the interim, many will be making their way to the United States of America, where there will be relative safety. Our heavenly hosts will then help them migrate into the next higher realm on the terrestrial earth, to end up in the New Jerusalem for safety:

D&C 45:68-71:
"And it shall come to pass among the wicked, that every man that will not take his sword against his neighbor must needs flee unto Zion for safety.

And there shall be gathered unto it out of every nation under heaven; and it shall be the only people that shall not be at war one with another.

And it shall be said among the wicked: Let us not go up to battle against Zion, for the inhabitants of Zion are terrible; wherefore we cannot stand.

And it shall come to pass that the righteous shall be gathered out from among all nations, and shall come to Zion, singing with songs of everlasting joy."

D&C 133:7,9:
"Yea, verily I say unto you again, the time has come when the voice of the Lord is unto you: Go ye out of Babylon; gather ye out from among the nations, from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

And behold, and lo, this shall be their cry, and the voice of the Lord unto all people: Go ye forth unto the land of Zion, that the borders of my people may be enlarged, and that her stakes may be strengthened, and that Zion may go forth unto the regions round about."

D&C 101:16-18:
"Therefore, let your hearts be comforted concerning Zion; for all flesh is in mine hands; be still and know that I am God.

Zion shall not be moved out of her place, notwithstanding her children are scattered.

They that remain, and are pure in heart, shall return, and come to their inheritances, they and their children, with songs of everlasting joy, to build up the waste places of Zion"

Our advice to our elect now is to stand in holy places where they may hear our voice, and be open to our guidance and direction. These places are in their homes, the quiet and peaceful places, where they can connect to their inner unconscious mind where they receive revelation from us:

D&C 45:32:
"But my disciples shall stand in holy places, and shall not be moved; but among the wicked, men shall lift up their voices and curse God and die.""

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his clear words that came to me. I have written them down quickly, and been guided by the Holy Ghost. Oh, I am so glad for my cherished relationship with him and Heavenly Mother, who both are by my side and give me frequent revelation and directions!

June 6-7, 2025
This morning my thoughts were directed to Ether 13:5,11:
"And he spake also concerning the house of Israel, and the Jerusalem from whence Lehi should come—after it should be destroyed it should be built up again, a holy city unto the Lord; wherefore, it could not be a new Jerusalem for it had been in a time of old; but it should be built up again, and become a holy city of the Lord; and it should be built unto the house of Israel

And then also cometh the Jerusalem of old; and the inhabitants thereof, blessed are they, for they have been washed in the blood of the Lamb; and they are they who were scattered and gathered in from the four quarters of the earth, and from the north countries, and are partakers of the fulfilling of the covenant which God made with their father, Abraham."

I was clearly led to this scripture, and not sure why. I searched in the references of the Book of Raphael in the Book of Mormon, and found that my Heavenly Parents had not yet addressed what Ether wrote about in these verses. I suspect there will be more revelation soon on the old Jerusalem.

Ether said that the New Jerusalem, to be built up in the promised land of America where he lived in a future day, would be the habitation for the house of Joseph.

While I was carefully reading these verses, I felt that Heavenly Mother wanted to comment on Ether 13:4-11. She asked me to place her words in parenthesis next to the verses. Here are her words that she spoke to me:

Ether 13:4-11:
"Behold, Ether saw the days of Christ, and he spake concerning a New Jerusalem upon this land.

(Raphael, our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, spoke to Ether, as well as did I by the Holy Ghost, about your very day, when the New Jerusalem would be built by you. He saw your work in constructing the island of the New Jerusalem, and the celestial temple there (see 173B6-173C32 and 196B1-196M14). I constrained Moroni from recording any references to you in the Book of Ether as it appears in the Book of Mormon. This was because we wanted to try the faith of our people, and see who would accept your online Book of Raphael when we prompt them to find it and study it.)

And he spake also concerning the house of Israel, and the Jerusalem from whence Lehi should come—after it should be destroyed it should be built up again, a holy city unto the Lord;

(this old Jerusalem has been destroyed by the Romans, even as prophesied by Jesus Christ (Matthew 24:2), and it has been built up in your day. It will yet be destroyed again by the invading armies and Jesus Christ during the earthquake at the second coming (D&C 45:48, 172C6). When it is built up again, it will be at the beginning of the the millennium, even as a holy city to the Lord. Ether saw both of the history of the Jerusalem of old, even from the beginning of the city and surroundings when it was named Salem by Melchizedek (Alma 13:17–18, Hebrews 7:1–2))

wherefore, it could not be a new Jerusalem for it had been in a time of old; but it should be built up again, and become a holy city of the Lord; and it should be built unto the house of Israel—

(those who build it in the millennium will be the House of Israel. These will not be the tribe of Joseph, for they will remain in the New Jerusalem area in the promised land of America where it is now starting to be built up.)

And that a New Jerusalem should be built up upon this land, unto the remnant of the seed of Joseph, for which things there has been a type.

(Raphael, you have already created, by our power, the island of the New Jerusalem, and the holy celestial temple on the center of that island. The terrestrial realm of the New Jerusalem and surrounding areas will be used as our gathering point for our elect, before the second coming of Jesus Christ. Our elect will travel there by foot, brought there by the 144,000 and other heavenly messengers, while the telestial earth becomes more wicked and filled with violence and war.

Once Jesus Christ meets these, our elect, in the clouds of heaven, he will descend to rescue the Jews in the land of Israel (see D&C 45:43-44,48-53), and then also descend with the elect to the New Jerusalem (see 146H1-146I20 and particularly the words from me, Heavenly Mother recorded in 3 Nephi 22:3). Once the elect are all at the New Jerusalem area, and are settled for some time, those who are of the lineage of Joseph will remain and start populating the New Jerusalem and the surrounding areas. Those who are not of Joseph, who are of the other tribes, will travel to the terrestrial realm area of the old Jerusalem. The telestial realm will mostly all have been destroyed at the time of the second coming of Jesus Christ (this is the fulfillment of Ezekiel chapter 39). However, there will be a some remnants and destroyed remains that will also be transferred into the terrestrial realm in that area too. The few remains of the old Jerusalem will be built up again, along with a new city, even as another Jerusalem in the land of Israel.)

For as Joseph brought his father down into the land of Egypt, even so he died there; wherefore, the Lord brought a remnant of the seed of Joseph out of the land of Jerusalem, that he might be merciful unto the seed of Joseph that they should perish not, even as he was merciful unto the father of Joseph that he should perish not.

(The saving of the father of Joseph, named Jacob or Israel, in the land of Egypt, was a type for the latter times when Joseph would be given the land of promise in America. The other tribes of Israel, who are the elect, will also temporarily remain in America, just as they anciently remained in Egypt until Moses brought them to their promised land in Palestine.

The promised land of America is ultimately to be the abode for the tribe of Joseph. The family of Lehi, from the tribe of Joseph, first came to inhabit it, and then came the Gentiles who are your ancestors, Raphael. At the beginning of the millennial day, Joseph's posterity will remain in this promised land of America where the New Jerusalem is built. The other tribes of Israel will migrate to the land of Israel and build up the Jerusalem of old, and inhabit the surrounding lands in that part of the earth. Eventually, all of the earth will be filled with the posterity of the elect.)

Wherefore, the remnant of the house of Joseph shall be built upon this land; and it shall be a land of their inheritance; and they shall build up a holy city unto the Lord (a terrestrial city, but not the celestial land of Eden where the celestial temple is built) like unto the Jerusalem of old; and they shall no more be confounded, until the end come when the earth shall pass away.

(The house of Joseph will spread forth upon the promised land of America until they fill the entire land, north and south, east and west of the New Jerusalem. The celestial temple that you have built, Raphael, will be the only celestial temple on the earth during the entire millennium, a place where you and our holy angels will administer much of the everlasting covenant to those chosen by Jesus Christ. The Jerusalem of old that is built up will ultimately have a terrestrial temple to prepare the people for the experience that many will receive in the celestial New Jerusalem temple. Many other terrestrial temples will also be built over all the millennial earth.)"

And there shall be a new heaven and a new earth; and they shall be like unto the old save the old have passed away, and all things have become new.

(Ether is here referring to the new terrestrial heaven and new terrestrial earth during the millennium. The old refers to the telestial heaven and telestial earth.)

And then cometh the New Jerusalem; and blessed are they who dwell therein, for it is they whose garments are white through the blood of the Lamb; and they are they who are numbered among the remnant of the seed of Joseph, who were of the house of Israel.

(Those who are chosen by Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son, based on their wholesome and godly lives, and who will dwell there. There will many others too who travel to the New Jerusalem, not necessarily of the seed of Joseph. You, Raphael, will then call them up after they have come to the celestial land of Eden surrounding the temple, and invite them into our celestial temple. In this temple, they will receive the waters of separation from you, and have their names recorded in the Book of Life by Oriphiel.)

And then also cometh the Jerusalem of old; and the inhabitants thereof, blessed are they, for they have been washed in the blood of the Lamb; and they are they who were scattered and gathered in from the four quarters of the earth, and from the north countries, and are partakers of the fulfilling of the covenant which God made with their father, Abraham.

(Those across the earth who have truly taken upon them the name of Jesus Christ will be "washed in the blood of the Lamb". This means they will be cleansed from all of their sins by Jesus Christ, their great Redeemer. He will choose them when they have proven by their good acts in life, to eternal life and exaltation. Thus will be fulfilled in their lives this phrase in the telestial and future terrestrial temples: "If you are true and faithful to your covenants, the day will come when you will be chosen (by Jesus Christ), called up (by Raphael, see 107A3-107A7) and anointed (by the angels), whereas now you are anointed only to become such. The realization of these blessing depends upon your faithfulness.")"

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her wonderful commentary in parentheses on these verse in the Book of Ether! Her words are very clear and ring so true to me. I feel very humbled to be the recipient of her great revelation!

June 9, 2025

I have been visiting with two of my siblings and their spouses over the past few days. There was a wedding in the family in Utah and we have been spending time together. I have been told by my Heavenly Father to make sure that I spend time with them and family relatives, even if I needed to shorten or omit my daily scripture study. I know that my Heavenly Parents value that we spend time with the loved ones that they have placed with us in our family relationships!

This morning I finished up my previous entry above, concerning Ether 13:4-11. I have learned a lot from what I have received! I am always thrilled when I am enlightened by God of great truths like those that Heavenly Mother revealed to me!

This morning I again inquired where I should study in the scriptures, and was directed to read 1 Nephi 15:13-20. I also added this scripture section in my Book of Mormon references to the Book of Raphael, in anticipation of new insights that I would receive. I expect that Nephi referred in these verses information about the truths coming forth in the Book of Raphael in the latter-days. I will not create my own thoughts, however, but wait upon God for revelation.

As I was pondering this, my Heavenly Father spoke quietly to me in my mind. He asked me to write his comments to this scripture in parenthesis, like I did for Heavenly Mother in my previous entry. I am excited to receive his words!

1 Nephi 15:13-20:
"And now, the thing which our father meaneth concerning the grafting in of the natural branches through the fulness of the Gentiles

(the fulness of the Gentiles are those among the Gentiles who have accepted the truths of the latter-day work as revealed first through Joseph Smith, the prophet. They have been baptized and received the priesthood. They have gone on proselyting missions for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints before I withdrew my priesthood from the current leaders of this church. They have diligently taught the truths of the Book of Mormon to the descendents of Lehi.),

is, that in the latter days, when our seed shall have dwindled in unbelief, yea, for the space of many years, and many generations after the Messiah shall be manifested in body unto the children of men, then shall the fulness of the gospel of the Messiah come unto the Gentiles, and from the Gentiles unto the remnant of our seed—

(Raphael, the fulness of the gospel refers both to the Book of Mormon and the Book of Raphael. There are many of our elect whom we have chosen who have accepted the Book of Mormon, which is a true record of their ancestors. They know that they are of the house of Israel from this book. In addition, these our elect will also receive and study your Book of Raphael, for we will testify to them of the great truths of your record.)

And at that day shall the remnant of our seed know that they are of the house of Israel, and that they are the covenant people of the Lord; and then shall they know and come to the knowledge of their forefathers, and also to the knowledge of the gospel of their Redeemer, which was ministered unto their fathers by him; wherefore, they shall come to the knowledge of their Redeemer and the very points of his doctrine, that they may know how to come unto him and be saved.

(The "knowledge of their Redeemer and the very points of his doctrine" refers exclusively to the information in the Book of Raphael. We have revealed to you great new truths about the plan of salvation, the mission of Jesus Christ, his remarkable atonement for mankind, our abundant light that we shed forth upon the earth, and so many other truths. Many of these revelations have never been revealed to mankind, being first revealed from us to you, Raphael. When our elect, many who are among the remnant of the seed of Lehi, come to the knowledge of these things, they will fully accept them as our revelations. These same truths were taught them recently in the celestial realms in their unconscious minds. When they hear and/or read them again, they will recognize these revelations from us, their Gods.)

And then at that day will they not rejoice and give praise unto their everlasting God, their rock and their salvation? Yea, at that day, will they not receive the strength and nourishment from the true vine? Yea, will they not come unto the true fold of God?

(The time of their great rejoicing is the time spoken of by Nephi earlier in 1 Nephi 14:14: "And it came to pass that I, Nephi, beheld the power of the Lamb of God, that it descended upon the saints of the church of the Lamb, and upon the covenant people of the Lord, who were scattered upon all the face of the earth; and they were armed with righteousness and with the power of God in great glory." It is during this time of rejoicing that we will arm our elect with the power of God. They will be imbued with exceedingly great faith, even to possess power over their enemies. The glory that we will pour out upon them will frighten their enemies. These our elect will then be led by the Holy Ghost to do all things that we direct them to do.)

Behold, I say unto you, Yea; they shall be remembered again among the house of Israel; they shall be grafted in, being a natural branch of the olive tree, into the true olive tree.

(The olive tree is a symbol of the House of Israel. We will carefully gather our elect into safe garners and protect them from the coming calamities of their day.)

And this is what our father meaneth; and he meaneth that it will not come to pass until after they are scattered by the Gentiles; and he meaneth that it shall come by way of the Gentiles, that the Lord may show his power unto the Gentiles, for the very cause that he shall be rejected of the Jews, or of the house of Israel.

(Raphael, because the Jews rejected Jesus Christ, and killed him, we have turned from the Jews to the Gentiles. We have done our great work of bringing forth new scripture from among the fulness of the Gentiles, our elect who live among the Gentiles. These scriptures include your newest record, the Book of Raphael.)

Wherefore, our father hath not spoken of our seed alone, but also of all the house of Israel, pointing to the covenant which should be fulfilled in the latter days; which covenant the Lord made to our father Abraham, saying: In thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.

(The covenant with Abraham is the everlasting covenant that we have revealed to you, that you are administering in the New Jerusalem celestial temple.)

And it came to pass that I, Nephi, spake much unto them concerning these things; yea, I spake unto them concerning the restoration of the Jews in the latter days.

And I did rehearse unto them the words of Isaiah, who spake concerning the restoration of the Jews, or of the house of Israel; and after they were restored they should no more be confounded, neither should they be scattered again. And it came to pass that I did speak many words unto my brethren, that they were pacified and did humble themselves before the Lord." (words in parenthesis above from Heavenly Father.)

I expressed my heartfelt gratitude to my Heavenly Father for his words of clarity and truth that he revealed to me! I felt enlightened with this latest revelation. I confirmed also that I had written his words, and not mine.

My mother passed away about three months ago. My close family gathered yesterday in the Payson Temple and had her sealed to my Father and then my sister K and I were sealed to them. During the sealings, I saw in my unconscious mind, very clearly, both my earthly Father and Mother. He wore an all-white wedding outfit, with a white vest and white rose on his lapel. My Mother had white lace with white pearls on her head, plus a wedding dress like of the time that they were married. They both appeared to me at the ages when they were married, both young and happy!

I wondered why I would see them in the LDS temple, when I knew that Heavenly Father had withdrawn his priesthood power and priesthood keys already from this church, and that these ordinances were not recognized before him (see 127B3-127B13, my notes in D&C 2:1-3 and my notes dated February 22, 2025 under D&C 74:1-7).

He immediately spoke to me:

"Raphael, you truly did see in your mind's eye, or unconscious mind, your Father and Mother in the Payson Temple yesterday. There were others of your ancestors and relatives in the spirit who had died, also in the room when their sealing work was done in this temple. Even though I have removed my priesthood and priesthood keys from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and these ordinances are not valid before me, I frequently allow the spirit dead to come forth and witness the practices of this church that once held my power and authority. This is fully for the benefit of the dead, for they get a very good understanding of what is in store for them if they are chosen as our elect, and receive the true ordinances as part of the everlasting covenant.

You have written in your Book of Raphael what ordinances are eternally binding before me. This is all true. We have authorized in the past the LDS Church, which had my priesthood and power before I removed it, and the future Church of Christ in the millennium which will have my authority, to administer sealing ordinances in temples. These ordinances are prototypes only of what will be coming to their patrons, if they are chosen by Jesus Christ to come into the Church of the Firstborn, our eternal celestial church. The sealing ordinances, of sealing a husband to his wife, and a wife to her husband, that will be binding for eternity will be administered by Heavenly Mother, Jesus Christ or me in our celestial temple on our celestial orb. All previous ordinances are not binding for eternity, but are for the blessings of our children, to give them hope and faith in that which is to come.

Since your Father and Mother are of the elect whom I have chosen, they will eventually receive all of the ordinances required under the everlasting covenant to enter into our rest in eternity, and receive their exaltation.

When you received your temple recommend in the LDS Church over a year ago, you answered all of the questions truthfully, and were given a recommend. We accept that you participated with your family members in the gathering in the Payson Temple in remembrance of your parents. This shows them honor and love."

I am so grateful for these kind and loving words from my Heavenly Father that he spoke to me quite suddenly. I feel so happy that he and Heavenly Mother are by my side continually, for they are always there when I have need or questions!

June 13-14, 2025

Yesterday morning I was led to read 76:96-101, but I didn't have time to address these verses at that time. These verses state that the celestial and terrestrial realms of glory are one, but that the telestial realm of glory has many variations, and is not "one" like the other realms of glory are. I looked up in my Book of Raphael references in the Doctrine and Covenants, and could find no information about these many variations. I believe that my Heavenly Parents wanted me to address this issue of many variations now.

D&C 76:96-101
"And the glory of the celestial is one, even as the glory of the sun is one.

And the glory of the terrestrial is one, even as the glory of the moon is one.

And the glory of the telestial is one, even as the glory of the stars is one; for as one star differs from another star in glory, even so differs one from another in glory in the telestial world;

For these are they who are of Paul, and of Apollos, and of Cephas.

These are they who say they are some of one and some of another, some of Christ and some of John, and some of Moses, and some of Elias, and some of Esaias, and some of Isaiah, and some of Enoch;

But received not the gospel, neither the testimony of Jesus, neither the prophets, neither the everlasting covenant."

I also remembered this scripture in 1 Corinthians 3:21-23, and thought that Paul the Apostle may have understood these verses above in D&C 76-

"Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours;

Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;

And ye are Christ’s; and Christ is God’s."

Also 1 Corinthians 1:12-13:
"Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.

Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?"

My current understanding of D&C 76:96-101 is that the host of the telestial dead are wide and varied. All have followed various religions, or practices in their premortal and mortal lives, and their belief systems are wide and varied. These will be resurrected to a telestial glory and enter into the same realm of glory, even that of the the telestial.

I sought clarification on this from my Heavenly Father. He gave me the impression to read part of the Book of Raphael where I once visited the telestial eternal world with him. Here is what I found:
General description of the realms of glory: 86D1-86D12
Visit of an eternal telestial realm of glory: 86E1-86E10
Visit of an eternal terrestrial realm of glory: 86B11-86B16

I read over these entries above, and could see no reference to the eternal world of the telestial glory having a wider variety of people than that of the terrestrial realm of glory.

Heavenly Father spoke of these people in both the telestial and terrestrial worlds:
"They are content to live with others in their single states too. They have lots of friends and activity, but these were not family. The connections with these friends are not binding or nearly as strong as family ties you experience in your own family on earth–for these strong connection in families are reserved for our children who live in the celestial worlds, as husband and wife, bound together in an eternal marriage relationship. These are Gods who are the only ones able to procreate and have children in eternity!"

After I had been pondering these things for the past few days, Heavenly Father came to me in my mind on the morning of June 14th, and wanted me to write his words:

"Raphael, I would like to clarify several things about the three degrees of glory, and then address your question about the telestial kingdom not being one like the celestial and the terrestrial kingdom.

Your Heavenly Mother and I have chosen the elect with whom we are laboring now intensely. We have chosen them based on their actions in the premortal and mortal worlds. These will be eventually brought into our celestial and terrestrial kingdoms of glory in eternity. These will meet our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, in the clouds of heaven when he returns to earth. These will descend with him to the earth and be our children who live in the beginning of the millennium.

When speaking of those in the terrestrial glory, D&C 76:76-77 states:
"These are they who receive of his glory, but not of his fulness.

These are they who receive of the presence of the Son, but not of the fulness of the Father."

Those on the earth who are terrestrial, which include some of our elect, will be caught up in the clouds of heaven with Jesus Christ, for it will be tolerable for them. However, they never will have the diligence in living the gospel to be called by Jesus Christ into the Church of the Firstborn, and regularly come into the presence of Heavenly Mother and me, and receive their exaltation. "These are they who are not valiant in the testimony of Jesus; wherefore, they obtain not the crown over the kingdom of our God." (D&C 76:79)

The celestial who are also among the elect now, will also be caught up in the clouds of heaven when Christ comes in his glory. These will have been "baptized after the manner of his burial" (D&C 76:51). These will have been chosen by Jesus Christ to come into the Church of the Firstborn, based on their diligent works, and into their hands are given all things, and dwell eternally as Gods in eternity (see D&C 76:50-70).

The telestial who remain on the earth are those who are not the elect whom we have chosen. These are the greater part of those who dwell on earth at this time. "These are they who received not the gospel of Christ, neither the testimony of Jesus." They will be "thrust down to hell", meaning they will be destroyed in the flesh and be brought into the spirit prison when Jesus Christ comes in glory (see D&C 76:82-84).

Among the telestial are all varieties of our children. They do not conform to any general standard of conduct like the terrestrial do, or the celestial do. The people in these higher two realms have demonstrated that they follow law and order of their respective kingdoms that they will inherit. The telestial include a much more varied group of our children. There are all sorts of beliefs and practices among them. However, they don't have strong morals, they don't see anything wrong with lying, and they cheat when it serves them best.

D&C 76:102-103:
"Last of all, these all are they who will not be gathered with the saints, to be caught up unto the church of the Firstborn, and received into the cloud.

These are they who are liars, and sorcerers, and adulterers, and whoremongers, and whosoever loves and makes a lie."

It is because of these great variations in the telestial group of individuals that they are not one, but are greatly varied. After they suffer in hell, and satisfied the law of justice, as required by the Book of the Laws of God (see 125G7), they shall be redeemed, resurrected and given an eternal glory of the telestial in one of my eternal telestial worlds."

I feel very pleased with the revelation I just wrote down from my Father in Heaven! I have been enlightened and my mind clarified over these truths. I thanked my Heavenly Father for his marvelous plan for the salvation of his children!

June 15, 2025

This morning I was lead to read D&C 93:1:
"Verily, thus saith the Lord: It shall come to pass that every soul who forsaketh his sins and cometh unto me, and calleth on my name, and obeyeth my voice, and keepeth my commandments, shall see my face and know that I am;"

I then read the following and felt to repeat it here:

136C3-136C14:
"I remember what President David O. McKay taught about meditation: "Meditation is the language of the soul. It is defined as a form of private devotion, or spiritual exercise, consisting in deep, continual reflection on some religious theme. Meditation is a form of prayer."

He also said "Meditation is one of the most secret, most sacred doors through which we pass into the presence of the Lord."

I came into this beautiful mountain forest in a meditative mood. I felt great peace and beauty all around me. I then asked for my Heavenly Parents, or one to come to me.

I then heard footsteps coming from my left from down the path towards the circling waters. I turned and saw my glorious Heavenly Mother coming to me up the path! I was so glad to see her again! She came right in front of me and stood, shining her bright light through me and to all of the surrounding area. I felt so clear and filled with her light, even like being transparent again! She was smiling and emitted great love and acceptance to me in her light.

'Raphael, you are correct in what you wrote in your journal about meditation this morning! Meditation is a secret entry way to come back into our holy presence. Being in nature is also very helpful, for we have created nature in all of its great varieties to help our children feel so very connected with us. I am glad you regularly come to our celestial orb in your meditations, for the areas you come to pray to us are perfect places for us to unveil our beings to you. We may send upon you our holy light and Spirit, with our emotions and thoughts that we wish to convey to you. You may receive a fullness of our glory and truths in a beautiful connection with us here.

We love to see our children who approach us in prayer to come to us in a quiet, peaceful setting. Once they visualize in their own minds themselves approaching us in humility, we wish for them to look into their own souls. Questions they might ask include "Am I sufficiently open to hear whatever God might share with me?" or "Will I follow whatever God tells me to do today?", or "Will I be able to hear the voice of God in my own mind and heart, this still small voice, above my normal thoughts and concerns of my own day?"

As our children practice prayer and meditation, seeking for us to come and speak to them, they will one day be able to see our face and know that we live.

D&C 93:1

"Verily, thus saith the Lord: It shall come to pass that every soul who forsaketh his sins and cometh unto me, and called on my name, and obeyeth my voice, and keepeth my commandments, shall see my face and know that I am."

We require that our children be clean spiritually when they see our face and when we reveal ourselves to them. We therefore send to them our beloved Son, Jesus Christ, who has suffered for their sins and weaknesses. He alone is worthy to cleanse them of their many sins, shortcomings, and weaknesses. He will forgive them of their sins, and make them clean, every whit, so that they may come back into our presence. He usually introduces them to the Father and me. We then continue to guide and speak to our child through our Spirit. One day we will come to them more openly, like I came before you today. This is all based on our own timing and way, suited perfectly for our inquiring child.

We watch and observe our children on earth or in the spirit realms of the dead. We see what they do with their time and how kindly and Christ like they treat others and our own creations around them. We observe how much of their day they make room for us and how much they think of us. We see all of their actions from behind the veils of mortality. This all determines how quickly we open up ourselves to them.

When there is a particular trauma, hardship or emotional or physical upheaval in their lives, we draw near to our distressed children. As they approach us in the sincerity of prayer, we draw closer to them and reach out to them through our still, small voice of our Spirit. We comfort and bless them, often answering their pleas for our help in ways to bless their lives.

We also watch how diligent and persistent our child is in their prayers and yearnings after us, their Heavenly Parents. If they are constant, consistent, and full of faith, we will respond quicker than to those who casually approach us, or only come to us in their times of great need. Our celestial natural sons and daughters will want to be in our presence, and will be persistent in their pleadings to us. They will also change their lives to conform to what we ask them to do or not to do. Thus, by degrees, we will shape our elect children to a point where we reveal more and more of our truths, our light and guidance. We lead them individually, each one uniquely, according to our understanding and desires as their Heavenly Parents. Oh how we love and nurture our faithful who want to know us and to follow us, even above the pull of the world, their culture, their family, and anything else they may place in front of us. We will give them all the joys of the righteous in time, even our very presence and the joys of eternal life and exaltation!'

Heavenly Mother was shining with joy and happiness before me as she concluded. I knew she was visualizing her faithful children in mortality who would one day awaken to them, their Gods. She, Heavenly Father, and Jesus find so much joy in their rescued children! This deep joy is what our Gods love to experience in us, their children."

(end of post 136C3-136C14).

After I wrote this, I felt strongly the presence of my Heavenly Mother! My heart skipped a beat I think, with the anticipation of what she wanted to say to me! Here are her words that I write as she speaks to me, in my unconscious mind:

"Raphael, I have led you to find D&C 93:1 this morning, and then to read my words I gave to you in September 2019 in your post 136C6-136C14 that you have recorded above. These words are what I wish all of my elect to read and ponder today! I love each one, and their Heavenly Father, our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ and I want to connect to them again. We want to become a priority in their lives. We want to gently lead them to a point when we will reveal ourselves to them, in a very real and deep way, even when they will see with their spiritual eyes our faces. Oh, we love them so very much!

We have orchestrated in the past few days to bring back to you your friends who have labored with you in producing the Book of Raphael Volume One. You will be able to be in contact with them again, and they will help you and support you in your efforts. We will begin multiplying now those who will read and study your online record, the Book of Raphael. We will inspire more and more of our elect to find your online record, and to receive our witness of it's truthfulness and importance to them in their lives now. We will encourage them to come unto us, in the name of Jesus Christ, and seek our faces. Jesus Christ will be their first contact, as he was with you, and will respond with spiritual encouragements to them, based on their diligence and desires. He will then fulfill this scripture, in D&C 93:1, to them personally. They will see him with their spiritual eyes, just like you now see me and know that I am before you. They will be brought into his presence and feel his great love and acceptance.

When Jesus Christ has proven them, by their valiancy in obeying what he may ask them to do, then he will introduce both the Father and I to them. Raphael, this is the great day of my revealing also, for I have been hidden from my children since the days of the fall of Adam and Eve. However, now I will be revealed more and more to our children. Together, their Heavenly Father and me, their Heavenly Mother, will manifest more and more ourselves to our elect children! Oh, what a wonderful time for our righteous to live on the earth! Your Father and I have waited so long for this exciting time to reveal ourselves more and more to our beloved children!!"

I am deeply touched by these words from Heavenly Mother! I even received the strong direction from her to add two exclamation marks at the end of her address to me above! This my Gods have never done before to me. I feel this message is so timely too, with the advent of the Book of Raphael to earth in these last days.

Today I was guided to read and ponder the following scripture:

D&C 56:14-15
"Behold, thus saith the Lord unto my people—you have many things to do and to repent of; for behold, your sins have come up unto me, and are not pardoned, because you seek to counsel in your own ways.

And your hearts are not satisfied. And ye obey not the truth, but have pleasure in unrighteousness."

My wife and I have been struggling with several members of our family who are quite proud and think that they are the best. They always seek praise for their actions from other family members. They manipulate people to their own ends, making sure that they are always thought of in the best light. They flare up if we might say or do anything to expose the truth, or more importantly to choose a course counter to their behavior. One of them demands that even a simple task be done her way. She usually wins, since we let her to keep the peace. If we don't do it her way, she gets angry and sullen. We find ourselves distancing ourselves from her. We want peace and she wants it her way, even if it is a small or silly thing.

I feel today that my Heavenly Father led me to this scripture above, in answer my prayers for those in my own family who are proud, headstrong, and often unreasonable in their interactions with my wife and I. We want tranquility, peace and acceptance of others, but a few others want to stir up contention and strife between family members. They create what we call "drama" in our family, in an effort to increase their prideful stance, insist on their way being followed, and be seen as one who is so smart and knowledgeable. This causes strife and division in our loving family, and me to be upset.

Heavenly Father then spoke to me, and wanted me to write his words:

"Raphael, I have led you to ponder this scripture in D&C 56:14-15 because of those in your own family on earth who are very proud and selfish. A few mascarade a feeling of being righteousness, but their actions are inspired by the devil who seeks to destroy you and all of the families on the earth. These individuals lend an ear to Satan and seek to counsel in their own ways (verse 14). This means that they do not humbly seek my Godly counsel, but create their own false belief system to look like they are righteous or more important than others.

We have mixed our children whom we know would become proud, selfish and headstrong, in families of the righteous, even from the beginning. The way that our humble and obedient children deal with them is always to begin emotionally distancing themselves from them, all the while trying not to judge unrighteously. The likelihood of changing their patterns of living is questionable, and usually ends up with lots of tears and family divisions.

What I want my humble and obedient children to do in such a situation is to pray for these, our wayward children, and for guidance from us, their Gods. We want our righteous children to humbly seek us and to keep focused on living righteous lives, even though they might be cut off and slandered for their good behavior. There will be a time when these humble, righteous individuals distance themselves more and more from the proud and wicked in their midst, even in their own families. The example of Nephi and his brothers, with all of the strife, strong words and severe actions, should be a comfort to our children who face similar divisions in their own families.

In the millennial world that is coming, only the humble elect will be admitted to enter into this terrestrial paradise of God. These are those whom we have personally chosen to populate this new earthly mortal realm. The proud, selfish, and manipulative people will be left behind and destroyed in the calamity that comes with the second coming of Jesus Christ. We will have a peaceful, happy and elevated world where Satan is bound and the wicked cannot enter. Until that time, you will have the proud and unrepentant with you, even perhaps in your own families. Counsel with us in prayer for specific guidance and direction on how to deal with your individual situation."

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his wise counsel and direction this morning! I plan to share this with my wife and those who might feel slandered and abused by family members. I feel peace in what I have been given today!

June 18, 2025

I was prompted today to read D&C 85, speaking of the parable of the wheat and tares:

D&C 86:1-7
"Verily, thus saith the Lord unto you my servants, concerning the parable of the wheat and of the tares:

Behold, verily I say, the field was the world, and the apostles were the sowers of the seed;

And after they have fallen asleep the great persecutor of the church, the apostate, the whore, even Babylon, that maketh all nations to drink of her cup, in whose hearts the enemy, even Satan, sitteth to reign—behold he soweth the tares; wherefore, the tares choke the wheat and drive the church into the wilderness.

But behold, in the last days, even now while the Lord is beginning to bring forth the word, and the blade is springing up and is yet tender—

Behold, verily I say unto you, the angels are crying unto the Lord day and night, who are ready and waiting to be sent forth to reap down the fields;

But the Lord saith unto them, pluck not up the tares while the blade is yet tender (for verily your faith is weak), lest you destroy the wheat also.

Therefore, let the wheat and the tares grow together until the harvest is fully ripe; then ye shall first gather out the wheat from among the tares, and after the gathering of the wheat, behold and lo, the tares are bound in bundles, and the field remaineth to be burned."

I next looked up this scripture in my references of the Book of Raphael in the Doctrine and Covenants. I read all the comments, and was impressed with the following post from Heavenly Mother:

108D3-108D10, from Heavenly Mother: "Your Heavenly Father and I also have been choosing in our visits the topics we wish to reveal to you. Do you have any questions this morning before I share what I want to talk about?'

I responded: 'M.A. had asked me in an email how Heavenly Father actually bundles his tares together that he places on that road that will be burned? (see paragraph 107H7) Heavenly Mother replied: Raphael, the wheat and tares are figurative of individuals who are living in your telestial world, our mortal children. Heavenly Father does, however, physically and spiritually, remove the tares from his wheat field and place them on the road that leads to the oak tree to the west. These are plants he cuts with his sickle, thus removing them from their source of nourishment from their roots. This is effectively removing them from the growing wheat, allowing the wheat to gain more nourishment from the soil. The roots of the tares quickly die. Cutting the tares is akin to removing the wicked from the earth in preparation for the millennial day. Giving the wheat more room in the field and more access to nourishing soil is akin to more revelation and personal direction to the righteous from us, their Gods.

When the tares are left to wither and dry on the road, the Father then asks certain of our holy angels to come and bind these tares into bundles. They are given twine that Heavenly Father has made himself in our celestial world from certain of our plants here. This twine is extremely strong so that many tares may be grouped and tied tightly together. They are stacked vertically on the road by the angels of God. Their fate to be burned with fire is thereby assured.

The burning comes after the harvest of the wheat into garners. This too is figurative, but also actually is done by Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ and me. We gather the righteous elect, one by one, into safe places prior to the second coming of Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son. We protect and nourish them. When they are gathered, they continue to grow and are still nourished by us, unlike the tares that are bound to be burned. Each wheat and each tare represents an adult individual son or daughter on the earth. The wheat, or the elect, are cared for and receive now most of our attention, whereas the tares have demonstrated by their actions and choices that they don't want any part of our millennial world, or a terrestrial or celestial life.

Once the field is harvested, the wheat is gathered in safe garners and the field and tares are burned. Finally, the field is again prepared and replanted with new wheat. These are representative of those choice children of God who will come forth in the great millennial era. They will grow up without sin unto salvation. See D&C 45:57-58 (Heavenly Mother's comments in parentheses).

"For they that are wise and have received the truth, and have taken the Holy Spirit for their guide, and have not been deceived-(these are the wheat who listen and follow me, the Holy Ghost, and received revelation and direction from their Gods), verily I say unto you, they shall not be hewn down and cast into the fire, but shall abide the day.

And the earth shall be given unto them for an inheritance; and they shall multiply and wax strong, and their children (these are the new millennial elect that will be planted in Father's wheat field after it is burned and then prepared for planting again) shall grow up without sin unto salvation. (These millennial children will have no devil to tempt and lead them into sin and wickedness. There will be no tares that will come into the Father's field until the end of the millennium when Satan and his hosts are released again by you, Raphael, for a little season. Then the earth will be burned with fire.)

Jacob 5:77 "And when the time cometh that evil fruit shall again come into my vineyard, (this is another allegory one of the branches of the olive tree, speaking of the time at the end of the millennium), then will I cause the good and the bad to be gathered; and the good will I preserve unto myself, and the bad will I cast away into its own place. And then cometh the season and the end, and my vineyard (this is the same as the entire earth) will I cause to be burned with fire (this fire will be the death of the earth. After this, the earth will resurrect, and there will be a new heaven and a new earth.)" See Ether 13:9."

(end of Heavenly Mother speaking).

I then asked for my mind to be open to understand further why my Gods wanted me to study and ponder this scripture today. Here is what Heavenly Father then spoke to me:

"Raphael, I have led you to this scripture, and to have read all that we have previously revealed to you concerning the tares of the earth, in D&C 86:1-7. Satan is the sower of the tares. He does this to our children that we send to the earth, even starting in their childhood, but certainly when they reach adulthood. He prompts them, by his clever devices, to find excitement and pleasure in telling little lies, in tricking others by manipulation.They begin thinking that they are able to control people by the clever devices that are beginning to be developed in their hearts.

These children who are open to Satan's trickeries are in many extended families across the earth, including families of the righteous. While others in these families are more inclined to listen to our Spirit, to grow up in gospel ways of gentleness, kindness, and humility, these young tares grow up more and more inclined to find pleasure and satisfaction in developing the clever devices of the adversary. Even in their youth they find ways to shift the blame to others when they themselves are guilty of wrong doings. They mask their growing trickeries with a guise of goodness. When their parents or other adults are not looking, they take advantage of their peers in sinister ways, thereby developing pride in their growing evil works. If these tendencies remain unchecked, these individuals become fully grown tares, taught more and more by the devil and his evil hosts. They find greater greater enjoyment in doing evil than in doing good. They often combine some good works in their lives to make others think that they are really wheat, when they are accounted tares before us.

The emergence of the tares of the earth begins therefore in families of all varieties. Even in homes of the righteous elect, these tares quietly grow until they are fully on their own. They then still find greater satisfaction in developing these clever devices taught by Satan, the father of all lies and deceptions.

Raphael, yesterday I said to you that we "have mixed our children whom we know would become proud, selfish and headstrong, in families of the righteous". These are the tares of the earth. Most of these will grow up to be of a telestial nature. These are those spoken of in D&C 76:103 as those "who are liars, and sorcerers, and adulterers, and whoremongers, and whosoever loves and makes a lie." They love becoming expert in these cunning devices of the devil, shown clearly in the stories of the Book of Mormon (see Alma 10:13, Alma 11:21). I have shared this with you to help you and our elect understand that many among them seem to be righteous and good, but inwardly have the seeds of the clever devices growing. Of our righteous, it is required to treat all kindly and with hope that they will endure in goodness until the end of their mortal life. These who are secretly tares will, however, start acting with clever devices to elevate themselves and entrap others around them. Pray continually for these, but be wise and don't be caught in their snares and trickeries. Seek us in humble prayer and we will guide you in your judgments and decisions."

I loved these words today from my Heavenly Father, and the ones earlier from Heavenly Mother! I know that part of mortality is to not always know who are the humble, faithful elect. We need to ourselves be focused on living the gospel of Jesus Christ, and keep our lines of communication open with our Gods, so as not to be deceived by the adversary and the tares among us.

June 19, 2025

In my morning prayer, I petitioned that I be given more and more of the mind of God, that I learn what they feel and think. I want my thoughts to be fully directed to God and not man. I want to fully guided so that I think and act like they do.

I was then led to read the references of the Book of Raphael in Isaiah chapter 1. I was impressed by my entry dated March 18, 2024 under Isaiah 1:3-6, which states the following:
"This is the state of apostasy of Israel and the nation where Israel lives in last days. The use of the ox and ass, stupid animals that are more obedient than Israel, is a stark comparison to how wayward God considers the people of Israel. Note that in verse 4 the Lord directs his comments to the sinful nation where Israel is living, and since Israel is the covenant people of God (LDS), it is the main nation of the LDS, or the United States in the beginning of these last days. The sin is prevalent and general. It also had a meaning in former days to the nation of Israel when it was apostate. The remainder of this chapter from the latter-day context is directed to the LDS people and their main nation (the USA) and their states before their falls. Some of the harsh words are also to the LDS Church and its people.

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

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

I then felt that Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother are disgusted by members of the LDS Church, who blindly follow their leaders. I felt then how they felt about the magical beliefs of most of the members. Here is what I read in Isaiah chapter 1:3-6 in an entry dated February 13, 2021, under post 186H1-186H4:

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

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

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

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

I did not finish reading all of the comments and posts in Isaiah chapter 1 this morning. Instead, I felt that Heavenly Father wanted to speak to me. I recorded the following from him this morning:

"Raphael, my son, there are few members of the LDS Church who do not hold onto false beliefs and magical beliefs, like I have spoken in above in your post 186H1-186H4.

The members hold these beliefs as doctrines, whereas they are really inspired of the adversary. These beliefs influence our children from praying to us directly about these things, for they imagine of themselves what we have done or how we think. I repeat, these false beliefs will alienate them from us, their Gods, leaving them as blind guides (see Helaman 13:29-30). They think that we guide them continually, but if they never even seek us in sincere, humble and open prayer, how would they ever know if we do? The fact is that they are led, in many instances, by these supposed beliefs and false ideas, and by the clever working of Satan. This is disgusting to your us. They need to repent or such practices will ultimately cause them much misery and separation from us, their Gods!"

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his stern and condemning words! I always want to hear what he really thinks, and to receive his direction after petitioning him in humble and open prayer. This is what I did this morning in my prayer, and this is what I received today!

June 21, 2025

This week my wife and I had a party for friends in our shady backyard. We also entertained family members. Afterwards, we talked about our experiences with these people. I was troubled again by how little people in general have interest in others, but it is for their own selves that they have interest. My wife and I do not feel this way. We want to make others comfortable, to talk to them about their lives and what they are doing. We have genuine interest in their lives. I feel continually interested in their well-being.

This morning I read and pondered this scripture that I was led to:

D&C 82:19
"Every man seeking the interest of his neighbor, and doing all things with an eye single to the glory of God."

This scripture is nestled among directions for the United Order that was tried in the early LDS Church. The principle it teaches is that in Zion, where the elect of God are gathered, they will care and serve each other, with real interest and love towards each other. They will not be only concerned about themselves, but also sincerely about those around them. They will not just talk about themselves, but inquire about how their neighbor is doing. I don't see a lot of that going on in our telestial society, even among active church members who profess that they are Christians.

Here are three other scriptures that I have found this morning about Zion and it's people:

D&C 97:21
"Therefore, verily, thus saith the Lord, let Zion rejoice, for this is Zion—the pure in heart; therefore, let Zion rejoice, while all the wicked shall mourn."

D&C 64:34-35
"Behold, the Lord requireth the heart and a willing mind; and the willing and obedient shall eat the good of the land of Zion in these last days.

And the rebellious shall be cut off out of the land of Zion, and shall be sent away, and shall not inherit the land."

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."

From these three scriptures, I have come to realize that in a true Zion society, that ultimately consists of terrestrial or celestial people, the individuals will have given their hearts and minds to God. They will then rejoice in others, for they truly care and love their neighbors. They share freely with their neighbors because they care and love them.

As I was pondering these scriptures, Heavenly Mother came before me, in my unconscious mind. I could view her loving and compassionate face, in my mind's eye. Oh, I love to be in her presence! She then spoke to me, and I wrote what she said:

"Raphael, you and your wife will be those who will dwell in Zion, for your hearts are pure before me. You sincerely have love and interest in others. You want them to be comfortable, and have their needs met. You ask lots and lots of questions about the lives and activities of others, and listen to what they say. You do not promote your own interests, but those of your neighbors, and those of your family members.

This love that your wife and you display by your actions, is what all the members of a Zion society will possess. They will have yielded their hearts to God, and we will make them pure in heart. They will be sensitive about talking too much about themselves, and always be aware of how the listeners are feeling. They will listen more than they talk. They will freely share their substance with others.

This is the love of God that dwells in the hearts of the inhabitants of Zion. Our servant Moroni talked about this love very well:

Moroni 7:48 (my, Heavenly Mother's, comments in parenthesis)
"Wherefore, my beloved brethren, pray unto the Father
(or Mother)

with all the energy of heart
(this is not a casual one-time prayer, but a constant prayer in the name of Jesus Christ, in the heart of our faithful over an extended period of time, usually months and years.),

that ye may be filled with this love
(we, the loving Gods of our pleading children who are in their mortal estate, will graciously fill them with more and more of our light and love. As they press forward, and continue pleading and acting on what we inspire them to do, they will be filled with charity, the pure love of God.),

which he hath bestowed upon all who are true followers of his Son, Jesus Christ
(Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son, loves our children with such deep love and charity, even to have suffered for their sins and being willing to redeem them. His example as given in the scriptures is how our righteous children may one day act. Our true followers of Jesus Christ will do as he did, as he set an example before them.);

that ye may become the sons
(and daughters)

of God; that when he shall appear
(at the second coming of Jesus Christ, or in a personal individual appearance)

we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is
(which is full of love and compassion);

that we may have this hope; that we may be purified even as he is pure
(we will purify the pure in heart in Zion, filling them with our love!).

Amen."

Raphael, this past week you have enjoyed many family and friends coming over to your backyard in the shade of your trees. You and your loving wife have extended your love and care to them, sharing your substance that you have been blessed with. All of them felt listened to and cared for.

When all the people who come to your house are considerate and loving to each other, and not just receivers of your love, it is then that Zion will be established. We will fill the hearts and minds of all the citizens of Zion to be similarly filled with this love of God, having pure hearts and willing to share freely with each other, because of their love and concern for each other. Oh, what a happy day that will be! Your Heavenly Father and I will then be in your midst, and fill each soul with our light and love!"

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her beautiful, kind and loving words! Oh, how I love to be in her presence! I prayed to be filled more with her light and love today, so that I treat everyone that I come in contact with in such a loving and kind way as she spoke to me!

June 22, 2025

This morning I read the following scripture in the Book of Mormon:

2 Nephi 28:8
"And there shall also be many which shall say: Eat, drink, and be merry; nevertheless, fear God—he will justify in committing a little sin; yea, lie a little, take the advantage of one because of his words, dig a pit for thy neighbor; there is no harm in this; and do all these things, for tomorrow we die; and if it so be that we are guilty, God will beat us with a few stripes, and at last we shall be saved in the kingdom of God."

Nephi saw our day, and saw what I have been witnessing in our society. There are many people now-a-days who profess to be Christians, to follow the teaching of Jesus Christ, but who justify in committing sin. They think that taking advantage of others, digging a pit for a neighbor or family member, or for spreading rumors is just fine with God. Inwardly I believe they know that they are doing wrong, but they justify their actions because they say that "God will beat us with a few stripes, and at last we shall be saved in the kingdom of God". In the modern-day LDS Church, they would say "I attend the temple often, so surely God will overlook my little sins and grudges I have against others. I can spread rumors, tell little lies about those I don't like or want to look better than, without upsetting God much. He sees the greater good in my life of serving in the temple!"

Those "Christians" who practice such hypocrisy in their lives are not candidates for the Zion they say they seek. These individuals are really following the enticings of Satan, who delights to steer them off course from becoming a Zion-type of person. They are being led down to hell, and most will be accounted in the end as telestial. These will be destroyed in the flesh at the second coming of Jesus Christ, and will not be admitted to the glorious Zion of the millennium!

I read the other day that there were about only 2,500 men, women and children who had survived and received the visit of Jesus Christ when he came to the Nephite nation (3 Nephi 17:25). This was a fraction I am sure of the Nephite and Lamanite nations that were destroyed by Jesus Christ just prior to his visit. I believe it will also be a relative few who enter into Zion, in the millennium, compared to those who will be destroyed prior to that time. All that is telestial will be either transitioned into a terrestrial state or be destroyed, including the bulk of the inhabitants of the earth. There will be a complete new start, filled with people who accept and live the truths from God. These will be the more righteous part of our civilization (compare to 3 Nephi 10:12 "And it was the more righteous part of the people who were saved, and it was they who received the prophets and stoned them not").

I read the words of Nephi given in the entire chapter of 2 Nephi 28. He was very clear and plain, and was very condemning for any who would harbored sin or have pride in their hearts in our very day. Oh, I want to be humble and open to God (the antidote of pride and self-centeredness)! I want to be among those in Zion, the pure in heart, who will move by God into the beautiful world of the millennium! I promise to practice and do what God wants me to be, and to be carefully led by God in my life.

I found this quote from President Ezra Taft Benson, in his Conference talk The Savior's Visit to America:

"The record of the Nephite history just prior to the Savior’s visit reveals many parallels to our own day as we anticipate the Savior’s second coming. The Nephite civilization had reached great heights. They were prosperous and industrious. They had built many cities with great highways connecting them. They engaged in shipping and trade. They built temples and palaces.

But, as so often happens, the people rejected the Lord. Pride became commonplace. Dishonesty and immorality were widespread. Secret combinations flourished because, as Helaman tells us, the Gadianton robbers “had seduced the more part of the righteous until they had come down to believe in their works and partake of their spoils” (Hel. 6:38). “The people began to be distinguished by ranks, according to their riches and their chances for learning” (3 Ne. 6:12). And “Satan had great power, unto the stirring up of the people to do all manner of iniquity, and to the puffing them up with pride, tempting them to seek for power, and authority, and riches, and the vain things of the world,” even as today (v. 15)."

I believe that in our day, we are repeating most of the same sins that the Nephite civilization experienced prior to their destruction at the time of Christ's coming among them. The patterns given in the Nephite history of this era I believe will be repeated in our day, with ultimately few remaining to enter into the millennium.

Last night and this morning I prayed to be able to find any mistakes in the Book of Raphael, that I may have inadvertently made. I felt guided by my Heavenly Parents. I found a number of entries that had grammatical errors, or where I had placed scriptures or posts in the wrong section. I also made some more links to make the text more searchable. After doing this awhile, I felt I should read the following scripture in the Book of Mormon:

Moroni 7:45-48
"And charity suffereth long, and is kind, and envieth not, and is not puffed up, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil, and rejoiceth not in iniquity but rejoiceth in the truth, beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

Wherefore, my beloved brethren, if ye have not charity, ye are nothing, for charity never faileth. Wherefore, cleave unto charity, which is the greatest of all, for all things must fail—

But charity is the pure love of Christ, and it endureth forever; and whoso is found possessed of it at the last day, it shall be well with him.

Wherefore, my beloved brethren, pray unto the Father with all the energy of heart, that ye may be filled with this love, which he hath bestowed upon all who are true followers of his Son, Jesus Christ; that ye may become the sons of God; that when he shall appear we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is; that we may have this hope; that we may be purified even as he is pure. Amen."

I had actually been talking to my wife over the past week on the topic of love for others, and how this is a hallmark for the elect, for the true saints of God. I have not always been filled with this love, but more recently in my life I have felt such love and interest in others. I have noticed a marked change in my feelings! It was like I had been imbued with a new perspective and greater feeling of compassion and care. It has come gradually, but more intensely over the past year. It has grown faster as I have been in a position of reaching out to others. I have prayed many times for this pure love of God to come into me, even as Moroni states in Moroni 7:48.

My wife has been such a wonderful example too of how to care and love others, throughout the many years of our marriage. I am eternally indebted to her for her continual outpouring of love to me and to all around us. I have wondered why it has taken me into my older age to have deeply felt love for others, the pure love of Christ. I think mellowing with age has helped. I can only believe, however, it is from her steady influence and example, and the abundant blessings poured out upon me from my Heavenly Parents.

I now feel like I have always felt this way, filled abundantly with the love of God, which I know in mortality I have not. It also seems that this has been a great weakness that God gave me as part of my mortal journey. I believe in my premortal life, I was abundantly filled with the love of God in all interactions with God's children.

I have also recently noticed that my love of others isn't shared by very many people. I have wondered why most people are not genuinely interested in others, but talk mostly about themselves. And then I think that I used to feel this way only until later in my life! This makes me have lots of tolerance for others who don't seem to have this feeling, and hope that they too will be filled with this love that shifts their perspective and actions as it has mine. Oh, I am so glad to have this increased focus on others, and genuine love and care for all! I feel so blessed to have been filled with this love, the pure love of Christ, for all people. I hope too that this is only the beginning, and that my love will increase and expand, more and more, as I actively seek to reach out in love to others.

I love this quote from Joseph Smith, Jun:
"A man filled with the love of God is not content with blessing his family alone, but ranges through the whole world, anxious to bless the whole human race."

Here is another great quote from Joseph Smith, the prophet:
"When persons manifest the least kindness and love to me, O what power it has over my mind, while the opposite course has a tendency to harrow up all the harsh feelings and depress the human mind.

God does not look on sin with allowance, but when men have sinned, there must be allowance made for them. The nearer we get to our heavenly Father, the more we are disposed to look with compassion on perishing souls; we feel that we want to take them upon our shoulders, and cast their sins behind our backs."(History of the Church, 5:24, spelling modernized; paragraph divisions altered; from a discourse given by Joseph Smith on June 9, 1842, in Nauvoo, Illinois; reported by Eliza R. Snow.)

Heavenly Mother then wanted to speak to me, and to have me write her words. Here is what I received this morning:

"Raphael, my son, your Father and I have been gradually pouring out upon you our love, which Moroni calls charity, the pure love of Christ. We do this when you come into our presence, and we fill you with our heavenly light. Our light carries with it the feelings we wish to share, which is always accompanied with our great love. This love of God that has been filling your soul is from us, as a gift from God!

We particularly desire for you to be filled with this love when you administer the waters of separation ordinance to our elect celestial children in the New Jerusalem Temple. We want you to carry this love with you also in all of your interactions with our beloved children. We will shine forth our light and love through you to them, so that they will know of us through your kindness and gentleness with them.

You have the wonderful privilege of being in our presence throughout the day! We are always by your side now, and fulfill the scripture in Isaiah 30:20-21:
"And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers:

And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left."

Raphael, we wish all of our children would come to us as you have. They have the power in them to do so, and we will open up to them just like we have opened up to you. We will also fill them with our light and love, just like we have been filling you up."

I gazed into the beautiful eternity eyes of my loving Mother in Heaven! Oh, how she is so filled with love and compassion for all her children! I thanked her for such beautiful words to me today!

Recently in the news, there has been increasing tensions in the Middle East, particularly between Israel and Iran. The United States entered into the conflict and apparently destroyed the nuclear bomb capability of Iran, in a successful and secret military attack on the sites where Iran was creating their nuclear weapons. Many people in the world thought that this would drag the United States into a Middle East conflict, or into the beginnings of World War III.

Only yesterday, President Trump said that Israel and Iran have agreed to a "Complete and Total CEASEFIRE" to this 12 day war. If this is true, it will be very remarkable! These countries have been warring for years.

I have been praying about these activities since last week when the US bombed Iran's three nuclear facilities. I have earnestly prayed about this, wondering if God's hand was behind these actions. I wondered if President Trump, who acknowledged God in his worldwide address, and seemed to me wanting to please him, was really so inspired.

I have distinctly felt that Heavenly Father was orchestrating the destruction of the nuclear capability of Iran, and the promoting of peace in the Middle East. I felt that President Donald Trump, with all his flaws and human weaknesses, has exhibited great leadership and courage in doing what he did. It is remarkable that he could negotiate a ceasefire between both of these warring countries!

Heavenly Father then wanted to speak, and wanted me to write his words:

"Raphael, I have been inspiring your president, Donald Trump, in taking the actions he did in the Middle East, including bombing Iran's nuclear sites, and then seeking to orchestrate peace between Israel and Iran. President Trump has been prayerful, and sincerely wants to do the right thing. He is open to my influence and guidance. Your Heavenly Mother and I have brought him forth at this time to do his work. He is like a modern day Cyrus, who we also raised anciently to bring Israel back to their promised land (see Ezra chapter 1, and Isaiah 45:1-4). President Trump promotes peace in the world through strength, which is pleasing to me. This is akin to what Chief Captain Moroni did for the Nephite nation when that nation was threatened with insurrection and extinction by Amalikiah and the kingmen, as recorded in Alma 47 to Alma 62.

Our plan for our children in your land of America at this time, is to bring four years of relative peace to the United States, during this current term of office of President Donald Trump. This will allow our elect to awaken to God, and to discover your Book of Raphael online, and other scriptures. Heavenly Mother will pour out upon them her Holy Ghost in abundance. We will then be able to gather each one safely, give them specific direction and knowledge as they pray openly to us, and imbue within them the faith necessary to come to Zion, the pure in heart! These, our elect children, gathered from across the earth, will be caught up in the clouds of heaven when Jesus Christ comes in glory, during his second coming. They will be the ones that our Beloved Son brings with him to populate a new terrestrial millennial earth, starting in the New Jerusalem area."

I loved when one of my God's want to speak to me in my times of meditation, like Heavenly Father just spoke to me! I feel full of light, while clear knowledge and truth poured into me soul! I encourage all who might read these words to confirm that this is from God, and not me. I closed my morning prayer with deep gratitude to my loving Heavenly Father, Heavenly Mother, and their Beloved Son Jesus Christ, for the great work they are doing for the faithful!

June 25-26, 2025

This morning I prayed and sought to be enlightened by my Heavenly Father, to read and study as he directed me. I was then led to the following scripture. I couldn't find that I had made a comment on this scripture before.

Joseph Smith Matthew 1:22-23
22 For in those days there shall also arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders, insomuch, that, if possible, they shall deceive the very elect, who are the elect according to the covenant.

23 Behold, I speak these things unto you for the elect’s sake; and you also shall hear of wars, and rumors of wars; see that ye be not troubled, for all I have told you must come to pass; but the end is not yet.

As I pondered these verses, here are the thoughts that came into my mind:

Who are the false prophets? What great signs and wonders would they show forth? How could the elect be deceived? Who are the elect, according to the covenant? What wars and rumors of wars would they hear of? What is the end that Jesus Christ spoke about?

Heavenly Father then asked me to write his words! I am so glad that he will speak to me. I don't have any idea what he will say:

"Raphael, this is your Heavenly Father speaking to you in your unconscious mind, even in a whisper in your thoughts. You are attuned to hear my voice, and also see my presence with your spiritual eyes. I will confirm these words I give to you today, both to you and to my faithful elect who sincerely pray to me, in an open and receptive manner, asking in faith that they will receive.

I have brought you to ponder these words of my Beloved Son, Jesus Christ. He saw your very day when the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints would spread itself across the world. He saw the unprecedented growth of temples, with new temples announced every general conference by President Russell M. Nelson. He saw that a great many faithful members, many of whom are our very elect that your Heavenly Mother and I have chosen, are also serving in these temples. Jesus Christ spoke these words to his apostles anciently, and by our providence, his words are preserved and brought forth to you in your day.

Here is the interpretation of the words of Jesus Christ in Matthew 1:22-23: Russell M. Nelson has lost his priesthood power and priesthood keys that were once operative in the LDS Church. I have removed them from him due to his transgressions and those who follow him. They have been acting without my guidance since the death of President Thomas S. Monson, and the time that President Nelson was appointed to take his place as President of the Church.

Satan has cleverly inspired Russell M. Nelson, guiding him and those who support him in the leading quorums of the church, to carefully have the guise of being led by us, their Gods. However, we have not inspired any of the directions of these leaders, particularly those of the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. They are all false prophets, for they say that they speak in my name or in the name of my Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, whereas they do not speak or write our words. They have strayed from me, and are leading the LDS Church more and more away from what I would have them do.

These words I speak to you would be considered to be very egregious were you to publicly speak or write these to those in your ward or stake. As such, your identity is best now not to be revealed to mankind. Nevertheless, what I speak is true and is from me, your Heavenly Father.

One of President Nelson's most constant pleas is for the members of his church is to attend the temple. The current doctrine of this church is that this is where binding ordinances are made for eternity, both for the living and the dead. This also is false, for the only binding ordinances we have authorized since the beginning in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is that of baptism, the laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost, and priesthood ordinations. All of these are no longer accepted by us, your Gods, ever since Russell M. Nelson has become the president of the church.

Our very elect, according to the covenant, means that these individuals, if they are true and faithful to our directions to them, will be eventually chosen by Jesus Christ to come into our Church of the Firstborn. In this celestial church, you and Oriphiel, both our archangels, will accept them into our eternal church and write their names in the Book of Life. They will at that point be guaranteed eternal life and exaltation. From this point on, they will then progress onto their exaltation to become even as we are, according to our eternal covenants and promises to them. This is the meaning of the elect, according to the covenant.

The signs and wonders spoken of in Joseph Smith Matthew 1:22, include the unprecedented construction and operation of LDS Temples across the earth. Many members of the church see this as a sign from God, that God is hastening his work and gathering Israel, both from the mortal earth and from the other side of the veil. This is a sign, but a sign of wonder, inspired by the adversary. None of these temples are operating under our authority, and all will be destroyed with the telestial earth when our new terrestrial millennial world comes forth upon the earth.

These signs and wonders of temple building, promoted by false prophets, are catching off guard our very elect according to the covenant, and are sweeping them away in the euphoria of temple activity! D&C 76:28-29 states in the vision of Joseph Smith the Prophet and Sidney Rigdon, the following:

"for we beheld Satan, that old serpent, even the devil, who rebelled against God, and sought to take the kingdom of our God and his Christ—

Wherefore, he maketh war with the saints of God, and encompasseth them round about."

This is exactly what is happening now in your day: Satan is cleverly misguiding the leaders of the LDS Church with false direction, while most think this is from God. Satan has been inspiring changes to be made in the temple ceremonies to make them more acceptable to the world. He has also inspired changes in the temple garments, all to appeal more to cultural norms of your society and to be more acceptance of the worldly fashions in your western culture.

Our elect, who are currently active members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, are feeling the pressure to attend the temple frequently and to weekly volunteer their time in the temple. There is beauty and quietness in the temples, which they interpret as Spirit of God and the House of God. However, we do not attend the LDS temples any more than we would normally visit any other building on earth. We hear the prayers of all of our children, whether they are offered in the temple or at home or any other location.

Raphael, the few times that you have gone into the LDS Temple over the past two years, you have asked me specifically while in the temple, if any of us, your Gods, were in that temple at that time. We clearly told you that we were not, and had not been there recently. You could still access us in our higher celestial realm, in your personal prayer, while in the temple. We will answer our humble elect who do the same as you have done. Were they to ask us sincerely in prayer, with open hearts and minds, willing to believe and do what we say to them, then they would receive a confirmation of all the truths that I have told you in this revelation today.

Raphael, you live in the times of wars and rumors of war that are erupting or will soon do so over the entire earth. However, in your land there will be relative peace for the next four years while we gather the elect. The end spoken of in verse 23 is the end of the telestial mortal world. This will be destroyed, along with the telestial inhabitants, except that some few parcels of land that will be transitioned into the terrestrial world, when Jesus Christ comes in in glorious second coming to the earth.

This concludes my interpretation of Joseph Smith Matthew 1:22-23. Please review my words that you have written for any grammatical errors, and then publish this online."

I then saw myself, with my spiritual eyes, that I knelt before my Heavenly Father in my replicated self, before him. I bowed my head and thanked him deeply for this revelation today! I immediately felt abundant light pour into my head and then into my entire body. After this witness, I know that these words were truly from my Heavenly Father and were true.

June 27, 2025

This morning I sought to be led to what Heavenly Father wanted me to do. I felt I should work in Raphael Volume 2, which are the references of the Book of Raphael in the scriptures. I was then led to this scripture:

1 Nephi 4:2-3
"Therefore let us go up; let us be strong like unto Moses; for he truly spake unto the waters of the Red Sea and they divided hither and thither, and our fathers came through, out of captivity, on dry ground, and the armies of Pharaoh did follow and were drowned in the waters of the Red Sea.

Now behold ye know that this is true; and ye also know that an angel hath spoken unto you; wherefore can ye doubt? Let us go up; the Lord is able to deliver us, even as our fathers, and to destroy Laban, even as the Egyptians."

Here are some supporting scriptures and references I came across, as I tried to better understand what God wanted me to review and to know:

Jeremiah 23:7-8
"Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that they shall no more say, The Lord liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;

But, The Lord liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land."

June 3, 2024
The return of the 10 tribes will be a very great miracle to exceed that of Moses and the Israelites crossing the sea on dry ground."

190E5
"We will show forth our great power of deliverance to our faithful elect who trust in us. They will see greater miracles than witnessed by the children of Israel when the Red Sea was divided. Zion will be established in your day with great power and strength, with our power and Spirit displayed to all people (see D&C 103:15)."

192F1-192F7
"I read again in my entry above and felt the confirmation of the Spirit that it was all true. I had a somewhat fitful night, thinking of this large group in that cold land. I read back to my entry where S had been told when this group would arrive, and when they would come to the highway in the terrestrial realm (see my entry from one week ago on 4-14-2021). I will try to release from my mind any worry I may have about the preservation of this group. I am very excited to meet them this June or July at the New Jerusalem in the terrestrial world!

I came today to the shores of the desert oasis. I drank living water, and then asked for my Heavenly Father to come to me. I waited in anticipation for his arrival. I then saw him on the opposite shore of the oasis. He then clearly spoke to my mind to walk to him through the oasis on dry ground, and then he would speak to me.

I stood and knew I had to generate enough faith to walk right through the water, in a path on the dry ground, with the water bunched on both sides of me. I kept my eye on my Father and walked into the oasis water. As my foot came to where the water was, it moved away from me, on either side of my foot. My next few steps revealed that the water was separated by about ten feet, and that there was dry ground under my feet. I continued walking, but soon was below where I could see my Heavenly Father on the opposite shore. As I walked, more water separated. If I stopped, which I did, the wall of water behind me continued to be separated.

I walked all the way across the desert oasis until I reached the opposite shore. I looked back and the waters were still separated. I turned to face my Heavenly Father who was smiling before me. I knelt before him, awaiting his words.

He spoke: 'Raphael, you have exhibited sufficient faith in me to walk across this desert oasis on dry ground. This is the same level of faith our northern tribes will have will cause us to reveal to them the highway in the terrestrial physical earth, their large movement overnight to the New Jerusalem in a few months, and then their passage across the mighty river separating them from the New Jerusalem island. These, our people, will have the faith necessary to prepare the island of the New Jerusalem, even as we need, for the other travelers to Zion that will be soon be coming. They will often have the assistance of our celestial servants and angels in fulfilling the tasks we will assign them and expect completed, in so short of time. Truly, this will be a time of one miracle after another, all done by our consent, our power, and from the large amount of faith from our people.

Once the city of the New Jerusalem is well under way in the terrestrial world, your community and nation will experience more and more calamities, destruction, and captivity. We want there to be a safe haven for our faithful elect to seek and find themselves in. This place will be Zion, the New Jerusalem, hidden and protected from the scrutiny, reach, and observation of the world. We will bring our humble peaceful elect to Zion, the New Jerusalem, in power and our protection.

D&C 103:11-20
"But verily I say unto you, I have decreed that your brethren which have been scattered shall return (these are their descendents, and the elect I have chosen) to the lands of their inheritances, and shall build up the waste places of Zion (the land of Zion prior to your arrival, Raphael, shall be a waste place, even covered by water and muddy).

For after much tribulation, as I have said unto you in a former commandment, cometh the blessing.

Behold, this is the blessing which I have promised after your tribulations, and the tribulations of your brethren (or of all those who come to our latter-day New Jerusalem)--your redemption, and the redemption of your brethren, even their restoration to the land of Zion, to be established, no more to be thrown down.

Nevertheless, if they pollute their inheritances they shall be thrown down; for I will not spare them if they pollute their inheritances.

Behold, I say unto you, the redemption of Zion must needs come by power;

Therefore, I will raise up unto my people a man, who shall lead them as Moses led the children of Israel. (Raphael, this man is you as we have told you previously. We will raise other leaders who also will exhibit great faith in leading their own groups of our elect to Zion, in their tribulations, but also by our strong arm. We will send you as an angel of God, and others of our angels, to come to these groups, to buoy them up in their travels to Zion- see also verse 19-20)."

190J25-190J32
"This miracle of entering into our terrestrial world on a highway made of rock, sand and dirt will be as great and miraculous as their ancestors entering into the dry path on the bottom of the Red Sea with Moses. The enemies of these refugees will then be unable to find their newly discovered human caravan. Both miracles will show to Israel the power of God in answering their prayers, and delivering them from their enemies.

The tribes of Israel have carefully prepared themselves by bringing food for themselves and feed for their animals. They will ration this among themselves so that they might make the long journey without expiring.

The waters of the great deep on either side of the highway are fresh waters, for as yet they contain no life nor nor is it salty. There is only water, earth and air, with pleasant weather all around until they reach the borders of the New Jerusalem.

Once this group arrives on the highway to the barren and vast land of the promise, then this next scripture will be fulfilled:

D&C 133:29
"And in the barren deserts there shall come forth pools of living water; and the parched ground shall no longer be a thirsty land."

The pools of water which emerge will satisfy the thirst for the travelers and their flocks and herds, but will not be living water. The living water that will transform the entire earth will come forth from the deep cavern under the island of the New Jerusalem.

The scripture also states that "Their enemies shall become a prey unto them" (D&C 133:28). This is referencing the actions of the prophets of these northern tribes when they are upon the barren land of promise. Raphael, they will hear the single note from your trumpet call, during the light of a thousand suns event. The prophets of these tribes will smite the enemies of the righteous elect that dwell in the lower telestial realm, even by the power of God. These enemy troops, marauders, and wicked people on the telestial land will think that God had smitten them. In reality, it will be from the prophets whom I will inspire of the northern tribes coming to Zion. These prophets will be able to see periodically into the lower telestial realms and act in my authority as I command them.

When this large caravan arrives at the borders of the New Jerusalem, you will go out to meet them. The waters of the mighty river that surrounds the island city will stop for them, for they will exercise their faith to cross through the river to the New Jerusalem on dry ground (see your post 173D4). Oh, what a joyous occasion this will be for all! These will be the first travelers to Zion, the New Jerusalem.

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his beautiful message tonight. I looked up around us and saw the northern lights dancing in the night skies. I thought of how exciting this will be for the tribes of Israel to see when they come forth on these northern regions of the earth. It would be like a welcoming sign from God!"

Later in the evening:
Today has been a monumental day for the Trump Administration in the US Government. There has been a lot of excitement, due to the recent Supreme Court Rulings. One judgment was in favor of President Trump's policies that had been blocked multiple times by lower court federal judges who had very liberal leanings. Trump's birthright citizenship ruling was also in his favor, as was parent rights in dispute over pro-LGBT books, and the right to opt-out over exposure of their children to these books. There was also a Supreme Court ruling upholding of a Texas law aimed at blocking minors from porn internet sites. Trump has said he has a "whole list" of policies to implement now after the Supreme Court orders.

Besides multiple US Supreme Court rulings in favor of Trump policies, President Trump has been orchestrating peaceful settlements across the world in lieu of war. He is pursuing peace with agreements between Iran and Israel, between Rwanda and DR Congo, and hopefully between India and Pakistan, and Russia and Ukraine. All of these areas have been in terrible wars, or would soon be. He has also been negotiating fair tarifs with multiple countries that is bringing in billions of dollars into the United States. He also struck a NATO deal where European countries are now funding their own defense instead of the United States doing most of the funding.

I am very interested in all the good happenings in my country, but it is hard for me to keep up on the multiple changes in the news! There is a lot of false news also created by those who hate Trump and his policies. I believe that these want more government controls and more taxes on the people.

________________________________________

June 28, 2025

This morning I awoke and prayed to my Heavenly Father. He immediately said he wanted me to write his words. Here goes!

"Raphael, this is your Heavenly Father speaking to you, my mortal prophet on the earth. Your Heavenly Mother, Jesus Christ, and I have been orchestrating the miraculous changes in your country, ever since the election of President Donald Trump. To you and many conservative individuals across your land, the changes have been very phenomenal and miraculous. They have come in rapid succession in favor of freedom and peace. Were we not involved, by directing many of our angels and heavenly hosts in inspiring good men and women to press forward with such zeal and ambition, these changes would have never happened. Satan is dumbfounded in seeing all of his clever and sinister plans evaporating, all because of the miracles we are doing in behalf of freedom of the individual and the survival of the United States of America.

Our overall plan is that there will be an era of relative peace and prosperity in your land, so that we may gather the elect whom we have chosen. The elect need to be taught now in mortality, and empowered with great faith to be able to move forward towards Zion, the pure in heart. We are carefully and individually guiding each one to Zion, with understanding and conviction of the truths that we have revealed to you in your Book of Raphael, and other scriptures. This impact will dramatically shape their lives. Then will this scripture in Isaiah 52:1-2 be fulfilled:

"Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean.

Shake thyself from the dust; arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion."

This scripture in D&C 113:7-10 also will soon be fulfilled:
"Questions by Elias Higbee: What is meant by the command in Isaiah, 52d chapter, 1st verse, which saith: Put on thy strength, O Zion—and what people had Isaiah reference to?

He had reference to those whom God should call in the last days, who should hold the power of priesthood to bring again Zion, and the redemption of Israel; and to put on her strength is to put on the authority of the priesthood, which she, Zion, has a right to by lineage; also to return to that power which she had lost.

What are we to understand by Zion loosing herself from the bands of her neck; 2d verse?

We are to understand that the scattered remnants are exhorted to return to the Lord from whence they have fallen; which if they do, the promise of the Lord is that he will speak to them, or give them revelation. See the 6th, 7th, and 8th verses. The bands of her neck are the curses of God upon her, or the remnants of Israel in their scattered condition among the Gentiles."

Your country, the United States of America, will continue to be a bastion of freedom and an example to all countries and peoples across the earth, at least for the next nearly four years. This is the promised land, the land of the New Jerusalem where we will safely gather our elect prior to the second coming of our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ. Your day is one where righteous men and women, throughout all time, have longingly looked with great anticipation. The battle between the freemen and the king-men, as has occurred in the pages of the Book of Mormon (see Alma chapters 51 to 62), is a type for your day. In your country, the will overcome the king-men, long enough for us to fully gather our elect to safe garners. This golden era of peace will last just long enough for us to do our great miracles of gathering Israel, one by one, and bring them to Zion and ultimately into the millennium!

Raphael, yesterday I inspired you to ponder 1 Nephi 4:2-3, where Nephi was trying to convince his wayward brothers to be faithful and strong in keeping the commands that Jesus Christ gave to them to obtain the plates of Laban. The great miracle of his day was Moses dividing the Red Sea, and then drowning the armies of Pharaoh when the waters receded. Pharaoh was a wicked king and political ruler. We orchestrated a miracle in saving Israel in Egypt, and bring them forth to our promised land at that time.

Likewise, your country was broken and overcome with Satanic ideologies and policies that suppressed the freedom of expression and action. It is likewise a miracle, even a greater miracle that we are orchestrating, in saving our elect in a land which is reclaimed to one of freedom and relative peace. Our hand is resting mightily upon the current leaders in your country who are freedom-loving and want peace and prosperity.

I will now comment on the scripture you wrote above in Jeremiah 23:7-8, on how it will really be in the future millennial day:

Jeremiah 23:7-8 (comments added by Heavenly Father in parenthesis)
"Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that they

(These are our righteous children will be in the great millennial day)

shall no more say, The Lord liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;

But, The Lord liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them

(This is the great miracle of gathering our elect from all the nations of the earth, and bringing them to the promised land of America, even in your mortal telestial world. We will continue the work of miracles in converting these, our elect, to obtain great faith in God and in coming to Zion, so that they will travel by foot or be brought there by our 144,000 chosen servants. These will be carefully brought to safety in the New Jerusalem in the mortal terrestrial earth! This will be the great miracle of your time that our millennial elect will look back upon with awe and wonder!);

and they shall dwell in their own land.

(Their own land will be initially in the New Jerusalem. After the second coming, our elect will spread over the entire terrestrial earth to populate that beautiful world for a thousand years of peace and great prosperity.)"

Raphael, another great, great miracle of these last days is the establishment of the New Jerusalem and its celestial temple that your have created, acting under our direction and with our power! This is now all established. You are daily bringing in more and more of our elect into the Church of the Firstborn in the New Jerusalem Celestial Temple, in your replicated celestial body. This unseen miracle by those on the earth, will be revealed to the faithful who one day will see it with their own eyes."

I humbly thanked my Heavenly Father for his wonderful words of revelation to me today! I am amazed and wonder at these many miracles that our Gods are orchestrating in our very day!

There will be some who may feel that I am only promoting conservative, Trump agendas and his policies, and not receiving these revelations from God. I am sure that during Pahoran's day, and Captain Moroni's day, in the Book of Mormon, there were many people who did not agree with them, or believe that God was behind these leaders, and supporting them. We know from Mormon's perspective, who compiled the Book of Mormon records at a later date, was that these leaders were all God-fearing and lead by God. I believe their examples are types of our day too, with our own current leaders. I suggest that all people who read my words, pray for a confirmation that what I wrote is from God and not me, a mortal man. I maintain that I am a conduit for these, God's revelations. These were given to me personally to record in the Book of Raphael.

June 29, 2025

Today, in seeking to study what Heavenly Father wanted me to ponder, I came to the following scripture in the book of Isaiah:

Isaiah 10:21-23
"The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God.

For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness.

For the Lord God of hosts shall make a consumption, even determined, in the midst of all the land."

I wondered if I had misinterpreted what a consumption was. I had thought it might refer to a physical sickness of some kind, like a plague or like COVID-19.

I found this in post 167I11, from Heavenly Mother:
"Then shall be fulfilled this prophecy of Isaiah concerning the lost tribes of Israel:

Isaiah 10:20-22

"And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smote them (ancient Assyria who captured them); but shall stay upon the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.

The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God.

For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return (they shall return to God and to the promised land in your land of America): the consumption decreed (or the destruction intended upon them by the armies will turn against the occupying armies) shall overflow with righteousness (this large body of the tribes of Israel shall come to the New Jerusalem and help build the city of their God)." (words in parentheses from Heavenly Mother)"

I then wondered if this was a double prophecy, the one meaning referring to what Heavenly Mother referred to with the lost tribes of Israel, and the second meaning of something in the United States, in our day. The thought came to me that another meaning of the consumption referred to the destruction and routing out of the wicked in the land of America, that were allowed to come to this land with open immigration policies and such.

I then read this from Heavenly Father (169A29):
"Raphael, once the troops invade your land, they will remain five months, even as our servant John wrote. At the end of this period the tribes of Israel from the north and from the south will come and destroy these armies by my power as described in Isaiah 10:12-27. The consumption decreed in verses 22-23 will be a plague among these invading armies that will cause many of them to die or to return to the foreign lands they came from. The wicked in your land will also die in large numbers from this consumption, but all of the elect will be protected by the corona flame of Heavenly Mother and will survive this consumption."

143D26-143D28
Isaiah 10:17,20-23 (words in parenthesis from Heavenly Father)

"And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers (the invading army) in one day.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smite them; but they shall stay upon the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.

The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, the mighty God.

For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness.

For the Lord God of hosts shall make a consumption, even determined, in the midst of all the land." (parenthesis added by Heavenly Father).

The house of Israel coming from the north and south will fulfill the prophecies of treading down the Gentiles, in 3 Nephi 16:15 and 3 Nephi 20:13-20. This destruction is called a consumption by Isaiah in the verses above.

When all the destruction is completed, Babylon will have been destroyed and then the invading army will have become largely destroyed and powerless against my arm of power. Those who remain in the land will be righteous Israel who will have been gathered home to their lands of promise, and to build up Zion.'"

(end of post 143D28)

What appears to be actually happening at this time, is that the illegal immigrants who were let into the United States, the evil murderers and those with criminal backgrounds, including foreign gangs, are being routed out of the United States by ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement). These are being hunted and removed from our country, and are being prosecuted or sent back to the countries from where they came. Under the Trump administration, the borders are now tightly controlled, and the wicked illegals in our land are being hunted and removed.

I am wondering if these evil groups, maybe called standing armies, are also a consumption that is overflowing in righteousness?

Later:
I just returned from church where Heavenly Father told me another interpretation of "the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness" (Isaiah 10:22). Here are his words, as best that I recall, that he spoke to me after I partook of the sacrament (I have also added more of his words as I wrote this, as he was directing me to write):

From Heavenly Father:
"Raphael, the current fulfillment of "the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness" is happening right now in your country!

The Trump administration is purging out the secret coffers of money that were carefully hidden and secreted away, for evil purposes and to pay out those who promoted these plans. DOGE has been streamlining the federal government, cancelling needless contracts and corrupt programs that directly did not support the proper use of the federal government's money.

There are other Isaiah scripture references that apply to your same time period and action of the leaders in the United States. This is an era where the consumption decreed (meaning destruction and desolation in your land of America, and throughout the world), will overflow with righteousness (meaning the evil people and plans will be removed, freedom of choice will be enshrined, and prosperity will reign):

Isaiah 10:1-3,14,16,33 (Heavenly Father's comments in parenthesis)
"1. Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed;

(This was the state of your country prior to the inauguration of Donald Trump.)

2. To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless!

(The oppression of the poor and needy was in full force in the prior Biden administration, and is now being relieved.)

3. And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory?"

(These events will come after the four years of prosperity in your land.)

14 And my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the people: and as one gathereth eggs that are left, have I gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or peeped.

(The work of DOGE has uncovered the nest of riches and the flagrant spending of federal funds.)

16 Therefore shall the Lord, the Lord of hosts, send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory he shall kindle a burning like the burning of a fire.

(The fat ones are those who were receiving the secret funding from the United States government, that never should have happened.)

33 Behold, the Lord, the Lord of hosts, shall lop the bough with terror: and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, and the haughty shall be humbled.

(This is more of the action that is occurring with your government DOGE office "lopping the bough with terror", meaning that the evil is all being exposed and eliminated.)"

Isaiah 13:11,19-20
"11 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible"

19 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees’ excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.

20 It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there.

(The word Babylon is synonymous with the wicked in your land and the world who have grossly misused the federal funding they receive. There are also very evil practices of some of these individuals that are done in secret, misusing federal monies, similar to what was practiced in Sodom and Gomorrah including the many transgender issues, child trafficking, secret murders, and other Satan-inspired actions.)"

(end of Heavenly Father speaking)

This information has been somewhat mind-blowing to me! I have had an entirely different view of these scriptures. I believe some of these scriptures have multiple time periods in history that they refer to, and shouldn't be constrained to one interpretation only:

3 Nephi 23:2-3 (R's words in parenthesis)
"For surely he spake as touching all things concerning my people which are of the house of Israel; therefore it must needs be that he must speak also to the Gentiles. (I believe this means that all major events that are happening now in our Gentile nation were prophesied by Isaiah.)

And all things that he spake have been and shall be, even according to the words which he spake. (This means the same words of Isaiah contain multiple prophesies, both which have been in ancient Israel, and events that are now and in the future.)

Therefore give heed to my words; write the things which I have told you; and according to the time and the will of the Father they shall go forth unto the Gentiles."

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his remarkable words to me today, and for inspiring me to ponder these words of Isaiah!

June 30-July 1, 2025

This morning I was led to read and ponder D&C 64:37-40
"Behold, I, the Lord, have made my church in these last days like unto a judge sitting on a hill, or in a high place, to judge the nations.

For it shall come to pass that the inhabitants of Zion shall judge all things pertaining to Zion.

And liars and hypocrites shall be proved by them, and they who are not apostles and prophets shall be known.

And even the bishop, who is a judge, and his counselors, if they are not faithful in their stewardships shall be condemned, and others shall be planted in their stead."

My mind immediately went to the time of transition from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to the Church of Christ, at the beginning, or near the beginning, of the millennium. I have written about this transition previously.

Later in the day, while pondering over this scripture, I read some previous verses in D&C 64:33-36, but was clearly told that this was not the scripture God wanted me to comment on. Instead, he wanted me to ponder over D&C 64:37-40.

I then asked what church God was talking about in verse 37: "Behold, I, the Lord, have made my church in these last days". When I prayed about this, I strongly felt this was not the LDS Church, not the millennial Church of Christ, and not the general church spoken in D&C 10:66 ("Behold, this is my doctrine—whosoever repenteth and cometh unto me, the same is my church"). Instead, this was the Church of the Firstborn that Jesus Christ is speaking about in D&C 64:37. This was a complete surprise to me.

So, if this is correct, here is the way that verse 37 should read:
"Behold, I, the Lord, have made my Church of the Firstborn in these last days like unto a judge sitting on a hill, or in a high place, to judge the nations."

The Church of the Firstborn was established on the earth starting in June, 2011 (see 46J4 to 46J11 and 46K6 to 46K18). This was established through Raphael, the archangel of God. This is a celestial church, and operates on the earth in the New Jerusalem Celestial Temple. It is superimposed in that realm over the terrestrial and telestial realms of the earth (see 195I13-195I17 and 178E9-178E13), located in the Jackson County, Missouri area of the telestial earth.

Somehow, I, as Raphael, as the prophet of the Church of the Firstborn until Jesus Christ comes in his glory, will have initially the authority of the Father, "like unto a judge sitting on a hill, or in a high place, to judge the nations". It will be on a hill (the tallest part of the New Jerusalem island, at the center of this island), which is a high place, all as described in D&C 64:37. Once Jesus comes, he will then become the prophet of the Church of the Firstborn. He will then have the full authority of the Father to judge all nations, and all peoples, for this is his right as king of kings. I will then no longer be the prophet of the Church of the Firstborn, but will continue to administer in the New Jerusalem temple the waters of separation entry ordinance of that celestial church.

These are my current thoughts and interpretation of D&C 64:37-40. I next humbly asked my Heavenly Father for his words, if he would be willing to reveal them to me today. Here is what he said to me the morning of July 1, 2025:

Words of Heavenly Father:
"Raphael, my son, you have correctly interpreted D&C 64:37-40. I have been inspiring you while you have prayed to me, and have pondered over these verses that I have directed you to yesterday morning.

You have my authority to fully act as my prophet of the Church of the Firstborn, my celestial church that I have established on the celestial earth (see also D&C 113:1-6 and its many references). The only area of the earth that is celestial now is the land of Eden, in the center of the island of the New Jerusalem. This land is on the terrestrial earth, with the celestial temple superimposed upon it. These two realms are also superimposed upon the telestial earth.

As my authorized prophet of my only currently authorized church on the earth, you are also in a position to judge the nations, peoples, and all things pertaining to Zion. All those coming to Zion, the pure in heart, will be coming under your permission. All of the angels, servants and those guarding the New Jerusalem act under your authority except for John the Beloved, who acts as king of the city of the New Jerusalem under the authority of Jesus Christ, my Beloved Son. You are correct that when Jesus Christ comes in glory to the New Jerusalem, he will assume his rightful place as prophet of the Church of the Firstborn, and king over all the earth. He will judge all nations, separating the sheep from the goats (see Matthew 25:31-46).

Raphael, until that day, you are the one through whom I will express my judgments upon the earth. When I speak to you, and you write or speak my words, these judgments are true and from me. They will be confirmed to all who humbly and openly pray to me, in the name of Jesus Christ, and they will all be fulfilled.

I wish now to add my Godly comments in D&C 64:37-40 (my words in parenthesis)
"Behold, I, the Lord, have made my church in these last days

(This is the Church of the Firstborn, my only authorized church currently on the earth, with you, Raphael, being its prophet and head.)

like unto a judge sitting on a hill, or in a high place, to judge the nations.

(This hill is the highest point on the hill of the island of the New Jerusalem, in the celestial realm, even the New Jerusalem Celestial Temple which you have constructed by my power and authority.)

For it shall come to pass that the inhabitants of Zion shall judge all things pertaining to Zion.

(Under your authority, all those who come to Zion will be judged of their worthiness before being allowed to enter into this glorious land.)

And liars and hypocrites shall be proved by them, and they who are not apostles and prophets shall be known.

And even the bishop, who is a judge, and his counselors, if they are not faithful in their stewardships shall be condemned, and others shall be planted in their stead.

(Every soul who yearns to come to Zion, the New Jerusalem, before the glorious second coming of Jesus Christ, will be proven by those under your stewardship and authority. We will inspire these servants and guards, by the power of the Holy Ghost, to know who are truly our elect, chosen by your Heavenly Mother and me. Only the elect of God will be allowed to enter the terrestrial realms of the New Jerusalem and its surrounding lands. The wicked will never be allowed to enter.)""

(End of Heavenly Father's words)

I humbly thanked my Heavenly Father for his beautiful words, and for his interpretation of these verses in the Doctrine and Covenants! I felt the Holy Spirit confirm to my soul that these words were from him and not me, and are true.

July 2-3, 2025

Today I was directed to read and ponder 1 Nephi 14:12-17
"And it came to pass that I beheld the church of the Lamb of God, and its numbers were few, because of the wickedness and abominations of the whore who sat upon many waters; nevertheless, I beheld that the church of the Lamb, who were the saints of God, were also upon all the face of the earth; and their dominions upon the face of the earth were small, because of the wickedness of the great whore whom I saw.

And it came to pass that I beheld that the great mother of abominations did gather together multitudes upon the face of all the earth, among all the nations of the Gentiles, to fight against the Lamb of God.

And it came to pass that I, Nephi, beheld the power of the Lamb of God, that it descended upon the saints of the church of the Lamb, and upon the covenant people of the Lord, who were scattered upon all the face of the earth; and they were armed with righteousness and with the power of God in great glory.

And it came to pass that I beheld that the wrath of God was poured out upon that great and abominable church, insomuch that there were wars and rumors of wars among all the nations and kindreds of the earth.

And as there began to be wars and rumors of wars among all the nations which belonged to the mother of abominations, the angel spake unto me, saying: Behold, the wrath of God is upon the mother of harlots; and behold, thou seest all these things—

And when the day cometh that the wrath of God is poured out upon the mother of harlots, which is the great and abominable church of all the earth, whose founder is the devil, then, at that day, the work of the Father shall commence, in preparing the way for the fulfilling of his covenants, which he hath made to his people who are of the house of Israel."

I had recently been directed to these verses in this year's journal on April 21-22, 2025, May 31, 2025, June 1-3, 2025, June 4, 2025, and Heavenly Father's words in June 9, 2025, so I was wondering what more did I need to learn?

I wondered how few were the members of the church of the Lamb? I knew that this church consisted of those who qualified as the elect of God, and had repented of their sins, and come to Jesus Christ (see D&C 10:67-68).

I then felt God's message to me was in verses 14 and 17. This talks about the power of the Lamb of God, descending upon the elect, who are then armed with righteousness and with the power of God, in great glory. When this happens, the wrath of God is poured out upon the wicked, and then the work of the Father shall commence, in preparing the way for fulfilling of his covenants with his people who are of the house of Israel.

Later:
I prayed to my Heavenly Father for inspiration, and perhaps for him to reveal to me more revelation on these verses. I then felt that my Heavenly Mother wanted to speak to me! I am now writing her words as they come to me:

"Raphael, my son, I have chosen to reveal to you the secrets of our remarkable work that will soon break forth upon the righteous elect across the world whom we have chosen! In 1 Nephi 14:17, Nephi states that "the work of the Father" shall commence". This is really the work of both the Father and me (see see my entry dated January 29, 2024 in 1 Nephi 13:39-42 and see my entry dated January 22,2025 in 3 Nephi 28:6-10), for we are one in purpose. Our joint plans are called in the scriptures "the work of the Father", but it is really both of us who are orchestrating this great work of gathering our elect, bringing them to places of safety and enlightenment, filling them with a testimony of our truths that we have revealed to you, and imbuing them with great faith and power.

I will be pouring out my Holy Ghost upon the elect who have previously been taught in our celestial realms, many of the truths in your record, the Book of Raphael. Our elect will be brought to read and ponder them in their mortal bodies, and then will recognize, by my Spirit, that this is a true record and is familiar to them. Others around them, who are not chosen, or have not been taught these great truths in heaven, will scoff at these things, and cast them aside. However, our elect will embrace these truths! They will fully recognize the truths in your record, for they are from us, their Heavenly Parents. They will rejoice, be greatly uplifted and strengthened, spiritually thirsting for more and more. As they read, ponder and pray over your record, they will be gradually filled with great faith and assurance. This faith, coupled with our outpouring of blessings we will give them, will fill them with our power, even the power over their enemies and power to come to Zion with other like-minded saints.

Our elect are called saints by Nephi, for these will be sanctified by Jesus Christ and filled with my Spirit, the Holy Ghost. We have carefully chosen each one based on their actions in their premortal and mortal lives. These are those who we have already transitioned into terrestrial sons and daughters, without them knowing. They have become receptacles of our truths, our Spirit, and our light that we will pour out upon them in great abundance, in the days soon ahead.

In order to accomplish our great work of the Father and Mother, there will need to be a shift in both your country and in other locations around the world where our righteous elect live. The United States will become a bastion of freedom and choice, over these next four years, leading the rest of the world in similar actions. Your President Trump will continue to make peace across the nations of the earth. He will make many more trade alliances with even hostile countries, opening up the borders for a time, so that we may ultimately physically gather our elect from these countries and lands across the earth. For those countries that will not be opened to allow their citizens to travel to the United States, we will transport them by our 144,000 servants (see 204F23-204F26).

Many of our elect will come to the United States, either on temporary visas or as new or prospective citizens of your country. They will then become armed more and more with the power of God, for we will be carefully leading them to Zion, even to the terrestrial realm of the earth. Having been already changed to terrestrial mortals, they will only need to exercise their faith in coming to Zion, where they will transition into that land of peace and righteousness. They will be assisted by our 144,000 servants, and other heavenly beings, in this great work of gathering. We will extend our great power, in the lives of each one of our chosen elect, in transitioning them to Zion, the pure in heart. Their journey will be filled with increasing faith as we enlighten them. We will extend our power, even the power of God, in bringing about miracles in their lives to be gathered together, in an environment fully apart from the wicked, or apart from the telestial who live on the earth.

D&C 103:15-20
"Behold, I say unto you, the redemption of Zion must needs come by power;

Therefore, I will raise up unto my people a man, who shall lead them like as Moses led the children of Israel.

For ye are the children of Israel, and of the seed of Abraham, and ye must needs be led out of bondage by power, and with a stretched-out arm.

And as your fathers were led at the first, even so shall the redemption of Zion be.

Therefore, let not your hearts faint, for I say not unto you as I said unto your fathers: Mine angel shall go up before you, but not my presence.

But I say unto you: Mine angels shall go up before you, and also my presence, and in time ye shall possess the goodly land."

This man in verse 16 above was initially Joseph Smith, Jun. (see verse 21). However, because of the transgressions of my people at that time, "it (was) expedient in me that mine elders should wait for a little season for the redemption of Zion" (D&C 105:9, see also D&C 105:3-6). The man in verse 16 has been newly appointed as you, Raphael (see 188C15-188C26)! You will provide the inspiration through your record and your direction in bringing "mine angels to go up before you (the elect), and also my presence (the presence of God, Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother) (D&C 103:20)."

This scripture in Moses will also be fulfilled in the gathering of our elect from the four quarters of the earth, in your day:

Moses 7:60-62
"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;

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, this is the great day of gathering our elect, the chosen of Israel, our covenant people! We will perform multitudinous miracles in the lives of each of our elect to bring them to our place of safety. We will gather them to the New Jerusalem to be gathered, awaiting the glorious second coming of our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ!"

I then gazed into the beautiful, shining and sparkling eyes of Heavenly Mother! She was deeply smiling, and rose up into the clouds from before my presence, even to the highest celestial realm! I felt the sure conviction that she spoke all of these words to me, and that I wrote them down correctly. I then ended my humble and open prayer, and felt filled with gratitude! I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her wonderful revelation this morning!

July 5-6, 2025

I had a wonderful celebration all day long yesterday during our country's Independence Day! We attended the Provo Freedom Festival Parade, and then went into the mountains for a family dinner and games. We watched some fireworks at night.

This morning I felt to ponder the following scripture in 2 Nephi 14:2-3
"In that day shall the branch of the Lord be beautiful and glorious; the fruit of the earth excellent and comely to them that are escaped of Israel.

And it shall come to pass, they that are left in Zion and remain in Jerusalem shall be called holy, every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem."

I also compared these two verses to Isaiah 4:2-3
Isaiah 4:2-3, which Nephi quoted. There are slight changes in both verses. In verse 3, Nephi quotes "they that are left in Zion" instead of "he that is left in Zion". It is a small nuance, but important I think.

Here is another similar scripture referring to "the branch of my planting" in Isaiah 60:1-3
"Thy people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified.

Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.

For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.

And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising."

When I prayed about the meaning of "the branch of my planting" in all of these verses, I felt that the primary meaning referred to the group of people, even the elect, who would be brought there and "planted" on the terrestrial earth, in the New Jerusalem. The secondary meaning of "the branch of my planting" refers to Raphael, call "The Branch", who created this sanctuary spot and the celestial temple, superimposed on the terrestrial earth (see 142E15, 54B7, 54K10, 54L7, and 54M3-54M20). This was all by the power of God who was continually beside him. It was God who really created the New Jerusalem through his archangel Raphael, so that the righteous branch of God's people could come there and live in peace and safety, apart from the wicked world.

I then prayed to my Heavenly Father if this interpretation was correct, and if he wanted to say anything about these verses. He then spoke to me:

"Raphael, you have correctly interpreted the meaning of 2 Nephi 14:2-3, Isaiah 4:2-3 and Isaiah 60:1-3. The references to "the branch" refer in these scriptures primarily to my elect, but also to you who established this beautiful land for them (see my previous comments in Isaiah 60:1-3 and the above references you have listed under "The Branch"). These scriptures will be fulfilled when the elect are finally gathered to the New Jerusalem, just prior to the glorious second coming of Jesus Christ (see 146H25-146H34). These will be caught up in the clouds of heaven, to be with my Beloved Son when He comes in His great glory. They will all be quickened to a celestial glory to be able to abide in his presence, as your Heavenly Mother has previously explained to you (see 141F15-141F22).

Raphael, I wanted this glorious time in the near future to be highlighted in 2 Nephi 14:2-3, Isaiah 4:2-3 and also in Isaiah 60:1-3. I want my elect to read and ponder these words and the references above, all from their Heavenly Mother and me. I want them to know how special and choice they are to us, their Heavenly Parents! We will carefully and thoughtfully gather them, protect them and step-by-step guide them to this great final waiting place in the New Jerusalem, all according to our plans, just prior to the second coming of Jesus Christ. They will be the ones who move forward into the beautiful millennial day!"

After receiving these words, and reading the references that Heavenly Father had me insert in his words above, I am greatly awed again by the great plans and majesty of our Gods!

________________________________________

July 7, 2025

The following is the scripture that I felt to study and ponder today. It was spoken by Moroni in a battle to Zerahemnah.

Alma 44:3-4
"But now, ye behold that the Lord is with us; and ye behold that he has delivered you into our hands. And now I would that ye should understand that this is done unto us because of our religion and our faith in Christ. And now ye see that ye cannot destroy this our faith.

Now ye see that this is the true faith of God; yea, ye see that God will support, and keep, and preserve us, so long as we are faithful unto him, and unto our faith, and our religion; and never will the Lord suffer that we shall be destroyed except we should fall into transgression and deny our faith."

I did a search, and I do not have any references to this chapter in the Book of Raphael.

As I was thinking over this scripture, I wondered how this applied to our day, and what would happen to the elect of God, prior to them being gathered in safe places, awaiting the second coming of Jesus Christ.

Heavenly Mother then nudged me in my thoughts, and wanted to speak to me, and have me write her words:

"Raphael, this is your Heavenly Mother speaking to you in your mind and heart, by my still, small voice. This is the voice of the Spirit.

I had you find this scripture in the Book of Mormon this morning. It has a powerful message that this is all true, what you have been recording in your Book of Raphael, that I wish to emphasize.

Raphael, you have a true faith in God, just like Moroni had in his day. Because what you believe in is true, and because of your faith and your works in what we have commanded you to do, we have brought through you the Book of Raphael, now available online to the world. We, who are your Gods, will keep and preserve you and every one of the elect whom we have chosen, who also believe and cherish the truths in your record, so long as all of you are faithful to us and your religion.

The religion that you practice is that we, who are your Heavenly Parents, have spoken to you. We have fully directed you to record the abundant truths and revelations that we have revealed to you. Our elect will recognize these truths as from God, and will have faith to align their lives to our teachings, found in your record and in other scriptures. Their belief and faith will become great, and by our will and our power, will ultimately bring them to the New Jerusalem in the terrestrial world, prior to the second coming of Jesus Christ.

Moroni said in Alma 44:4 that "this is the true faith of God; yea, ye see that God will support, and keep, and preserve us, so long as we are faithful unto him, and unto our faith, and our religion; and never will the Lord suffer that we shall be destroyed except we should fall into transgression and deny our faith."

What Moroni spoke is also true today, in the work of the Father and Mother, in these last days. We will preserve our elect whom we have chosen! We will gather and preserve these, our elect children, and bring them to safe garners, and ultimately bring them to Zion, the pure in heart in the terrestrial mortal world. These we will bring into the new millennial world.

There may be times when the faith and diligence of our elect wavers, for their tribulations may sometimes be intense, and they may have doubts. However, we will be by their side, unseen to them, but supporting and guiding them. We will directly encourage them, and command our heavenly servants to also protect and lead them, according to our will. This is our great, great work, Raphael! We will attend to this with our Godly power and focus!"

I thanked my beloved Heavenly Mother for her comforting and strong words to me this morning! I am very glad to be alive in my day, with such a glorious prospect ahead to be able to live in a world of peace and beauty, with like-minded people, even in Zion!

A scripture that I have had in my mind over the past day is Moroni 7:45-48:

"And charity suffereth long, and is kind, and envieth not, and is not puffed up, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil, and rejoiceth not in iniquity but rejoiceth in the truth, beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

Wherefore, my beloved brethren, if ye have not charity, ye are nothing, for charity never faileth. Wherefore, cleave unto charity, which is the greatest of all, for all things must fail—

But charity is the pure love of Christ, and it endureth forever; and whoso is found possessed of it at the last day, it shall be well with him.

Wherefore, my beloved brethren, pray unto the Father with all the energy of heart, that ye may be filled with this love, which he hath bestowed upon all who are true followers of his Son, Jesus Christ; that ye may become the sons of God; that when he shall appear we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is; that we may have this hope; that we may be purified even as he is pure. Amen."

I have only recently on June 21, 2025 and on June 23, 2025 pondered over this same scripture. Heavenly Mother and then Father spoke to me at that time. Heavenly Mother explained Moroni 7:48, word by word, and Heavenly Father said that he had been pouring out upon me his abundant love. I am so very glad for this great blessing! It has been guiding my actions in my daily life.

When we attend church in our local ward, or any time that we interact with people, it seems so natural for me now to be very interested in others, and in asking how and what they are doing. I am trying to memorize and address those I don't know well by their first name, and ask them about something personal that they have told me previously. I feel very warm and accepting towards them. I seem to overlook flaws and weaknesses in their character. It is something that I am growing in, and I feel so happy to feel this way now. I keep thinking that this is how I have always been, not in my mortal life, but in my premortal life prior to coming to earth. I feel that I am awakening to act as my Heavenly Parents would act, were they in my place. It seems that there is light in my heart and mind, that carries with it concern and love towards all people. This light and love fill me with joy and happiness.

However, I still have the hardest time to not get upset at times with members of my extended family. I often think that they should act in certain ways, like having integrity and not stirring up contention, strife, backbiting or meddling. I need to work on thinking that they may do whatever they want, for they are adults and have choice. They may also talk bad about us behind our backs, for they may choose what and how they will live.

I sometimes feel like Nephi, who was continually harassed by his wicked brothers:

2 Nephi 4:16-35
"Behold, my soul delighteth in the things of the Lord; and my heart pondereth continually upon the things which I have seen and heard.

Nevertheless, notwithstanding the great goodness of the Lord, in showing me his great and marvelous works, my heart exclaimeth: O wretched man that I am! Yea, my heart sorroweth because of my flesh; my soul grieveth because of mine iniquities.

I am encompassed about, because of the temptations and the sins which do so easily beset me.

And when I desire to rejoice, my heart groaneth because of my sins; nevertheless, I know in whom I have trusted.

My God hath been my support; he hath led me through mine afflictions in the wilderness; and he hath preserved me upon the waters of the great deep.

He hath filled me with his love, even unto the consuming of my flesh.

He hath confounded mine enemies, unto the causing of them to quake before me.

Behold, he hath heard my cry by day, and he hath given me knowledge by visions in the night-time.

And by day have I waxed bold in mighty prayer before him; yea, my voice have I sent up on high; and angels came down and ministered unto me.

And upon the wings of his Spirit hath my body been carried away upon exceedingly high mountains. And mine eyes have beheld great things, yea, even too great for man; therefore I was bidden that I should not write them.

O then, if I have seen so great things, if the Lord in his condescension unto the children of men hath visited men in so much mercy, why should my heart weep and my soul linger in the valley of sorrow, and my flesh waste away, and my strength slacken, because of mine afflictions?

And why should I yield to sin, because of my flesh? Yea, why should I give way to temptations, that the evil one have place in my heart to destroy my peace and afflict my soul? Why am I angry because of mine enemy?

Awake, my soul! No longer droop in sin. Rejoice, O my heart, and give place no more for the enemy of my soul.

Do not anger again because of mine enemies. Do not slacken my strength because of mine afflictions.

Rejoice, O my heart, and cry unto the Lord, and say: O Lord, I will praise thee forever; yea, my soul will rejoice in thee, my God, and the rock of my salvation.

O Lord, wilt thou redeem my soul? Wilt thou deliver me out of the hands of mine enemies? Wilt thou make me that I may shake at the appearance of sin?

May the gates of hell be shut continually before me, because that my heart is broken and my spirit is contrite! O Lord, wilt thou not shut the gates of thy righteousness before me, that I may walk in the path of the low valley, that I may be strict in the plain road!

O Lord, wilt thou encircle me around in the robe of thy righteousness! O Lord, wilt thou make a way for mine escape before mine enemies! Wilt thou make my path straight before me! Wilt thou not place a stumbling block in my way—but that thou wouldst clear my way before me, and hedge not up my way, but the ways of mine enemy.

O Lord, I have trusted in thee, and I will trust in thee forever. I will not put my trust in the arm of flesh; for I know that cursed is he that putteth his trust in the arm of flesh. Yea, cursed is he that putteth his trust in man or maketh flesh his arm.

Yea, I know that God will give liberally to him that asketh. Yea, my God will give me, if I ask not amiss; therefore I will lift up my voice unto thee; yea, I will cry unto thee, my God, the rock of my righteousness. Behold, my voice shall forever ascend up unto thee, my rock and mine everlasting God. Amen."

I then found this pertinent post, given to me on April 2021, in 192J13-192J16: "Heavenly Mother spoke: 'Raphael, we who are your Gods, are understanding of the struggles that our children in mortality experience. Many of their weaknesses and foibles we have allowed to come into their lives in order to see how they respond, and if they keep coming back to us in humble and repentant ways. We will always help them in these, their hardships, even until these weaknesses become strengths to them.

Nephi, son of Lehi, spoke of struggles he experienced in his immediate family (see 2 Nephi 4:17-35). He was very resolved to place his trust in us, his Gods, forever, and not to put his trust in the arm of flesh. You, Raphael, are doing the same process of routing out weak behaviors and replacing them with those that fully align with our truths and gospel way of living.

We helped Nephi in his struggles with his weaknesses, and we will help you, and each of our children who humbly and openly come to us with a great desire to change and improve. We will cleanse and purify, strengthen and make them holy men and women. They will be endowed with our great power and authority to do the works we may ask of them.

You will be prepared, in every way, to be our pure and holy conduit through whom we will do our work of building up Zion."

Here is what Heavenly Father spoke to me on another occasion about a similar topic, in December 2020, in post 182C11-182C14: "Heavenly Father then spoke to me. I turned my head and faced him: 'Raphael, we forgive you for your mistakes and weak behaviors, for you are not yet perfected. Keep pressing forth with diligence, and you will become the man of God we know you can and will be. What you do daily and repeatedly is the path you are pursuing in your life. We know your heart and intent, for we walk beside you daily and see your efforts in trying to become a holy and loving man. You are still called as our prophet and archangel Raphael, even though you may feel weak and occasionally stumble.

Nephi, our prophet of old, who was the son of Lehi, felt the way you do:

2 Nephi 4:15-19

"Behold, my soul delighteth in the things of the Lord; and my heart pondereth continually upon the things which I have seen and heard.

Nevertheless, notwithstanding the great goodness of the Lord, in showing me his great and marvelous works, my heart exclaimeth: O wretched man that I am! Yea, my heart sorroweth because of my flesh; my soul grieveth because of mine iniquities.

I am encompassed about, because of the temptations and the sins which do so easily beset me.

And when I desire to rejoice, my heart groaneth because of my sins; nevertheless, I know in whom I have trusted."

Raphael, like Nephi, we have "been your support" and have "led you through (your) afflictions" (see verse 20 of above selection). We will continually be by your side and give you answers to your prayers, and abundant revelations. This is the same pattern we give to all of our children.Those who come unto us, and draw near to us, we will in turn draw near to them (D&C 88:63). We will lead and guide them in their lives, even as they are willing.'"

After pondering these words of Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother, I feel more determined to chill out about any choices of some family members. I am not their judge, and they are not directly in my life like family members were with Nephi in his travels, or initially in the promised land. I have great liberty and freedom to act and feel as I do, and not to fret or worry over their behavior! I have so much ability to choose my own path, and am not really threatened by these family members who choose other ways than I have chosen. I will pray for them, and love and accept them. I will follow the Spirit in my interactions with them, and my thoughts I have towards them. I am determined to be a holy and loving man! I will follow the examples I see in my Gods with whom I interact with, and the stories in the scriptures of godly men and women.

July 10-11, 2025

This morning on July 10th, I was directed to ponder D&C 82:14,19,22-24
"14. For Zion must increase in beauty, and in holiness; her borders must be enlarged; her stakes must be strengthened; yea, verily I say unto you, Zion must arise and put on her beautiful garments.

19. Every man seeking the interest of his neighbor, and doing all things with an eye single to the glory of God.

22. And now, verily I say unto you, and this is wisdom, make unto yourselves friends with the mammon of unrighteousness, and they will not destroy you.

23. Leave judgment alone with me, for it is mine and I will repay. Peace be with you; my blessings continue with you.

24. For even yet the kingdom is yours, and shall be forever, if you fall not from your steadfastness. Even so. Amen."

I have been told recently by Heavenly Father on June 28, 2025 that the beautiful garments in D&C 82:14 are representative of the priesthood power that the elect will put on. They will be imbued with the power of God, which means to me that they will also have been endowed with the love of God, that is required to enter into Zion, into that millennial world of peace, love and rest.

It was surprising also to me that only on June 21, 2025, Heavenly Mother commented about D&C 82:19 in my scripture study. At that time she spoke to me and said the following:
"Raphael, you and your wife will be those who will dwell in Zion, for your hearts are pure before me. You sincerely have love and interest in others. You want them to be comfortable, and have their needs met. You ask lots and lots of questions about the lives and activities of others, and listen to what they say. You do not promote your own interests, but those of your neighbors, and those of your family members.

This love that your wife and you display by your actions, is what all the members of a Zion society will possess. They will have yielded their hearts to God, and we will make them pure in heart. They will be sensitive about talking too much about themselves, and always be aware of how the listeners are feeling. They will listen more than they talk. They will freely share their substance with others."

I have not found any reference in the Book of Raphael to D&C 82:22-24. Luke 16:9 is given as a reference to verse 22 in the LDS scriptures.

Luke 16:9 "And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations."

Jesus gave this at the end of his parable of the unjust steward (Luke 16:1-13). A more complete understanding of being friends with mammon is when we read the entire parable.

Luke 16:1-13
"And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods.

And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward.

Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed.

I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.

So he called every one of his lord’s debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?

And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.

Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore.

And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.

And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.

He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.

If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?

And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man’s, who shall give you that which is your own?

No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon."

In searching for the meaning of this parable, I found a thought-provoking talk on the parable of the unjust steward, published in the Ensign magazine by Elder Tsung-Ting Yang. I also remembered my readings of Jesus the Christ, written by James E. Talmage. Here is his summary of the parable, which I thought very interesting:

"It was not the steward's dishonesty that was extolled; his prudence and foresight were commended, however; for while he misapplied his master's substance, he gave relief to the debtors; and in so doing he did not exceed his legal powers, for he was still steward though he was morally guilty of malfeasance. The lesson may be summed up in this wise: Make such use of your wealth as shall insure you friends hereafter. Be diligent; for the day in which you can use your earthly riches will soon pass. Take a lesson from even the dishonest and the evil; if they are so prudent as to provide for the only future they think of, how much more should you, who believe in an eternal future, provide therefore! If you have not learned wisdom and prudence in the use of "unrighteous mammon," how can you be trusted with the more enduring riches? If you have not learned how to use properly the wealth of another, which has been committed to you as steward, how can you expect to be successful in the handling of great wealth should such be given you as your own? Emulate the unjust steward and the lovers of mammon, not in their dishonesty, cupidity, and miserly hoarding of the wealth that is at best but transitory, but in their zeal, forethought, and provision for the future. Moreover, let not wealth become your master; keep it to its place as a servant, for, "No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon." (see the reference here on Pg 464).

After all of my study and pondering, I asked for inspiration from my Heavenly Father, why he wanted me to think on the meaning of D&C 82:22-24. I have no idea what he will say to me, but I believe I will receive his words.

I then felt his presence, and his desire to speak to me:

"Raphael, this is your Heavenly Father. I prompted you to ponder the parable of the unjust steward, and to think on the meaning of D&C 82:22-24. I will make my comments in parenthesis on these verses, so that you may understand more fully why Jesus Christ, who gave these verses to the prophet Joseph Smith, spoke them.

D&C 82:22-24
"And now, verily I say unto you, and this is wisdom, make unto yourselves friends with the mammon of unrighteousness, and they will not destroy you.

(Raphael, the mammon of unrighteousness in this context can best be thought of to be money or goods of the temporal world in which you live. You need these to live, to provide shelter, food, clothing and necessities of life for yourself and your family. To acquire them, you must work in the world, and strive to improve and do your best. You must work for a living and provide for your own. In turn, we, your Heavenly Parents, assist you in gaining skills, so that by your hard work, you may provide the temporal things of life. These are necessary for your comfort and well-being. Without these, you could not focus on heavenly things nor do the important things of life.

You have run successful businesses, and have acted in integrity in all of your dealings with others. The experience you have learned in earning a living has been invaluable in preparing you for the person you have become. This is a wonderful thing, and is pleasing to us, your Heavenly Parents. This is the meaning of "mak(ing) friends with the mammon of unrighteousness [material things of this world and money which are used to provide goods and services]". You have been blessed with plenty of resources, money, goods, homes, lands, and such, so that you are the righteous steward over these possessions. The need for such material things do not occupy your mind much, for they are available to you, and you manage these affairs now without much fuss. However, there are some of our children who are consumed with gaining more and more possessions, for they do not have them and seek them, or they are not satisfied with enough material things. For these individuals, this focus on the lack of material wealth often destroys their peace, and their ability to hear our voice, or to even act in Christian ways and manners.

It has always been our intent that there is an abundance of wealth, that our children may share freely what they have with others. However, many of our children hoard their possessions, and do not share as the gospel requires. It is our intention that our children learn to be righteous stewards of their possessions while in mortality. How can we grant them the riches of eternity if they have not learned wise practices in running their affairs in the telestial world?

These words of stewardship of material things were placed in the context of establishing Zion, right next to D&C 82:14,19. This is because we want those adults who come to Zion to have learned, or be learning the lessons of stewardship of materials things prior to coming into our Zion communities. There will still be stewardship over earthly things in the millennial world, for this is essential for our children to learn and understand. However, there will be more abundance, and more freely sharing of this abundance with each other. The emphasis will be on heavenly things, not on material things.")

Leave judgment alone with me, for it is mine and I will repay. Peace be with you; my blessings continue with you.

(In all temporal and spiritual strengths and weaknesses of our children, we desire those who come to Zion to be warm and accepting, and not judging or critical. We want all judgment to be left with us, their Gods. When this is embraced by our elect, then great peace and blessings will follow!)

For even yet the kingdom is yours, and shall be forever, if you fall not from your steadfastness. Even so. Amen."

(The coming days will try our very elect. We will be beside each one, guiding and helping them in learning the temporal and spiritual lessons they need to learn. They will ultimately learn that love and sharing of what even the little they have will bring forth great blessings of all that is promised in Zion the pure in heart.)

(end of Heavenly Father speaking)

I thanked my Father for such practical words he shared with me today! I feel settled in what I have received. I am so grateful!

July 12-13, 2025

I prayed to my Heavenly Father this morning. I asked him to help me find any problems or mistakes in the Book of Raphael, that he wanted fixed. I also asked him to give me revelation on anything that he or Heavenly Mother would want me to add to my record. I felt that I would receive direction on adding new revelation.

I was guided to read and ponder 2 Nephi 32. Here is 2 Nephi 32:1-9

"And now, behold, my beloved brethren, I suppose that ye ponder somewhat in your hearts concerning that which ye should do after ye have entered in by the way. But, behold, why do ye ponder these things in your hearts?

Do ye not remember that I said unto you that after ye had received the Holy Ghost ye could speak with the tongue of angels? And now, how could ye speak with the tongue of angels save it were by the Holy Ghost?

Angels speak by the power of the Holy Ghost; wherefore, they speak the words of Christ. Wherefore, I said unto you, feast upon the words of Christ; for behold, the words of Christ will tell you all things what ye should do.

Wherefore, now after I have spoken these words, if ye cannot understand them it will be because ye ask not, neither do ye knock; wherefore, ye are not brought into the light, but must perish in the dark.

For behold, again I say unto you that if ye will enter in by the way, and receive the Holy Ghost, it will show unto you all things what ye should do.

Behold, this is the doctrine of Christ, and there will be no more doctrine given until after he shall manifest himself unto you in the flesh. And when he shall manifest himself unto you in the flesh, the things which he shall say unto you shall ye observe to do.

And now I, Nephi, cannot say more; the Spirit stoppeth mine utterance, and I am left to mourn because of the unbelief, and the wickedness, and the ignorance, and the stiffneckedness of men; for they will not search knowledge, nor understand great knowledge, when it is given unto them in plainness, even as plain as word can be.

And now, my beloved brethren, I perceive that ye ponder still in your hearts; and it grieveth me that I must speak concerning this thing. For if ye would hearken unto the Spirit which teacheth a man to pray, ye would know that ye must pray; for the evil spirit teacheth not a man to pray, but teacheth him that he must not pray.

But behold, I say unto you that ye must pray always, and not faint; that ye must not perform any thing unto the Lord save in the first place ye shall pray unto the Father in the name of Christ, that he will consecrate thy performance unto thee, that thy performance may be for the welfare of thy soul."

After I read this short chapter of just nine verses, I looked up and read all the references to this chapter in the Book of Raphael. Here are some of the post references from Raphael Volume One that I read, that I felt to include below:

-----------
144A18-144A20, from Heavenly Mother: "For some, like you, the angels, and those who come to the New Jerusalem temple, I will bestow the gift of tongues and the interpretation of tongues during the entire millennium. There will be no language barriers in our celestial holy temple!

Whenever we send our angels to minister to our children, they speak to them in their own native tongue. This is called the tongue of angels. The gift of tongues is when one speaks in their own native language, and the one receiving is able to interpret it in their own native language, in their minds. The gift of tongues and the interpretation of tongues work in harmony in this instance, so that both understand each other, and both are edified and uplifted by my Spirit, even by the Power of the Holy Ghost.

When angels minister and speak to our children, they speak by the power of the Holy Ghost, in the language of the one receiving the message. The angel is on the errand of God, and is our conduit and servant, and bears our name and power of delivery."

-----------
105C11-105C14, from Heavenly Mother: "2 Nephi 32:6-

"Behold, this is the doctrine of Christ, and there will be no more doctrine given until after he shall manifest himself to you in the flesh. And when he shall manifest himself unto you in the flesh, the things which he shall say unto you shall ye observe to do."

This manifestation of Jesus Christ to our elect is a personal experience they receive while in mortality. It is like what you received at the beginning of 2013. It is a spiritual manifestation from Jesus Christ, and a witness that our child is clean and accepted before their Savior. He then may choose to introduce us, both their Heavenly Mother and Heavenly Father, to him or her. Once he does, then we, their Heavenly Parents, develop a reconnection with our child. We then lead them, as they are open and receptive to our promptings and directions. These are the things Nephi referred to in this verse that our child should then observe to do.

Raphael, you live in this day when our celestial heavens are opening up to our elect children who dwell on the earth, in a great outpouring. All may receive our presence as they first humbly come unto our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ. He redeems and cleanses them, and then brings them to us. We are thrilled with the prospect of so many of our noble children awakening to us and partaking of our great revelations, even while in their flesh.

These are the times looked forward to by all the holy prophets! They saw these times, at the beginning of the millennium, when our manifestations and revelations would be poured out upon the righteous who truly were humble, open, and sought us diligently. Raphael, your awakening to us has been the start of all of this great outpouring of light and truth upon our faithful!'"

In all things, we are pleased when our children press forward and take charge of their own health and not just wait for us, their Gods, to heal them.

D&C 58:26-30

"For behold, it is not meet that I should command in all things; for he that is compelled in all things, the same is a slothful and not a wise servant; wherefore he receiveth no reward.

Verily I say, men should be anxiously engaged in a good cause, and do many things of their own free will, and bring to pass much righteousness;

For the power is in them, wherein they are agents unto themselves. And inasmuch as men do good they shall in nowise lose their reward.

But he that doeth not anything until he is commanded, and receiveth a commandment with doubtful heart, and keepeth it with slothfulness, the same is damned.

Who am I that made man, saith the Lord, that will hold him guiltless that obeys not my commandments?"

-----------
125A8-125A10, from Heavenly Father: "We desire that our elect children are proactive, taking steps to increase their own knowledge and grow in skills that they may need to be more effective servants to us, their Heavenly Parents and to Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son. We will guide them by our Spirit, but they need to take the initiative to learn, act and grow.

2 Nephi 32:3-5

"...Wherefore, I said unto you, feast upon the words of Christ; for behold, the words of Christ will tell you all things what you should do.

Wherefore, now after I have spoken these words, if ye cannot understand them it will be because ye ask not, neither do ye knock; wherefore, ye are not brought into the light, but must perish in the dark.

For behold, again I say unto you that if ye will enter in by the way, and receive the Holy Ghost, it will show unto you all things what ye should do."

Also 2 Nephi 31:20

"Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life.""

-----------
93D2-93D10, from Heavenly Mother: 'Raphael, I am glad you have come to this granite cliff at the top of my upper gardens! We have chosen to come to our humble children who pray to us, often in elevated areas, like on a mountaintop or somewhere we may overlook the land.

I want to speak to you this morning about the attitude and desires we want to see in our children who approach us in prayer. Sincere personal prayer is a time to drop all one's expectations, to be very open to our subtle impressions, and to leave behind the cares of the world. Right now you have no idea what I will say to you, and you are open, like an open empty book, ready for me to write my words. You wait upon me and don't expect any message in particular. You are ready to receive.

In such a meditative state, we may freely express our message. However, the great majority of our children in mortality have never come to us in such an open and receptive state. They make it impossible for us to respond to them since they expect a certain thing we will or will not do. Prayer for them is more of a one-way conversation. We therefore allow them to talk to themselves and don't reveal anything to them. We do observe them and their patterns in prayer. We yearn to reach out to them, but they won't let us in. Their motivation to pray is more from a should-belief instilled in them at church. It becomes a short routine effort to satisfy a nagging belief that they should pray.

Real effective prayer comes from our children who are motivated by something more than a routine habit. It comes when connection with God becomes more important than other events in their lives. We wait for this day and will respond when their attitude is open and humble. However, if this stance is unfamiliar to them, they often don't even recognize that we come and speak to them, to their inner soul. This is in their unconscious mind (see 93C5-93C6, 93E11, and 93F2-93F8), reachable in meditation, openness and humility.

Sometimes our children project their own thoughts of how they think we should respond. They don't persist and aren't in a receptive mode. They think their own thoughts are our words. They [sometimes] have learned to discern the impressions we give them from their own emotions and thoughts. Satan is able to twist their perceptions if they are not connected to their own open spirit and aren't humble. One of the greatest deterrents of the adversary is their clear intention to connect to God, and being humble and open. He has no power over our child in prayer whose intentions are clear and pure, in the openness of their heart and mind. If such a clear intention consumes our child's desire, then we will come and Satan will depart.

Once we come, our humble child may also miss our revelations, since they are expecting more fanfare or revelation coming to them differently than we always do. However, we speak in soft words and thoughts to their inner soul, to their unconscious mind like we have always spoken to them. As they respond to our words, we will encourage them, teaching them that this is the manner in which we speak.

Once our praying child feels our words and responses, they are on the path to receiving more and more from us. As they obey, we give more. If our counsels are not followed, we give less.

I will come to those who are on this narrow path, for I am the Holy Ghost, Raphael! I will give them a new path and will show them all things they should do:

2 Nephi 32:3-6

"Angels speak by the power of the Holy Ghost; wherefore, they speak the words of Christ. Wherefore, I said unto you, feast upon the words of Christ; for behold, the words of Christ will tell you all things what ye should do.

Wherefore, now after I have spoken these words, if ye cannot understand them it will be because ye ask not, neither do ye knock; wherefore, ye are not brought into the light, but must perish in the dark.

For behold, again I say unto you that if ye will enter in by the way, and receive the Holy Ghost, it will show unto you all things what ye should do.

Behold, this is the doctrine of Christ, and there will be no more doctrine given until after he shall manifest himself unto you in the flesh. And when he shall manifest himself unto you in the flesh, the things which he shall say unto you shall ye observe to do."

As our children follow the example and teachings of our Beloved Son, as recorded in the scriptures, and as they feast upon his words, I will show them step-by-step the specific things they need to do next. Ultimately, Jesus Christ will show himself to our faithful, redeem them of their sins and weaknesses, and bring them to us, their Heavenly Parents. This is the ultimate objective of all prayer, to bring them into a personal relationship again with us, their Heavenly Parents. This is the state we now have with you!'"

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her clear words! I feel so pleased to be able to hear her and Heavenly Father's words, and to be able to understand what they wish me to do in my mortal life! I am grateful to have the ability to write them down as they come to my inner soul (my unconscious mind) and then into my conscious mind in my mortal body. I am filled with assurance that she has spoken these words to me today!

Heavenly Mother smiled in acceptance of what I have written. She told me I have correctly written her words as she wanted them recorded. I knew she would then leave me, so that I could live my day. However, she will be with me continually today, as the Holy Ghost, and guide me in all things."

(end of post references)

Later: I spent part of the day on Saturday, and now on Sunday, July 13, in thinking over my posts above. I especially loved what Heavenly Mother said in post 93, the last post. The path to connect to God has been such a wonderful learning experience for me! I am so grateful that I have been open and receptive to what God has directed me to receive and to do. This has completely changed my life, and my perception of God.

While writing these words, I felt that Heavenly Father wanted to speak to me, and for me to write his words. Here is what I received, directly in my unconscious mind from my Father who is standing before me, in his highest celestial realm (see 131A1-131A4, 131A15-131A22, and 131B9-131B14):

"Raphael, I have led you to ponder 2 Nephi chapter 32 yesterday and today. You have spent time looking up references in Raphael Volume One, about what you had received in the past on these verses and on topics that I have inspired you to look up. This is pleasing to me, for it shows me that you are unrushed, and intent on learning again our revelations to you. It is in such a calm, meditative state that we may communicate effectively with you, in our still, soft voice.

I have wanted you to record your pertinent posts that you have written in your journal entry above, for these will help steer our elect children how we expect them to come unto us, and how we will respond. We lead our children in mortality as much as they allow us to guide them. We are also no respecter of persons, for we wait on our children to take action and approach us. We may orchestrate events in their lives, to help awaken them, but if they do not come unto us, we generally will wait for them to come in prayer to us. We have chosen our elect because our elect hear our voice and take initiative:

D&C 29:7 "...for mine elect hear my voice and harden not their hearts."

D&C 45:56-58
"And at that day, when I shall come in my glory, shall the parable be fulfilled which I spake concerning the ten virgins.

For they that are wise and have received the truth, and have taken the Holy Spirit for their guide, and have not been deceived (Raphael, these are our elect)—verily I say unto you, they shall not be hewn down and cast into the fire, but shall abide the day.

And the earth shall be given unto them for an inheritance; and they shall multiply and wax strong, and their children shall grow up without sin unto salvation." (words in parenthesis from Heavenly Father)

We are ramping up our efforts in more directly manifesting ourselves to our beloved elect children, prior to the glorious second coming of Jesus Christ to the earth. Each of them will need to hear our voice so that we may lead them to safe places, and to Zion, the pure in heart. They need to act on our promptings. We will help them to know that it is we, their Gods, who are prompting them, and not themselves or any other source."

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his beautiful words to me this morning! I know that if one who reads these words above, and prays to the Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, with an open heart and mind, willing to act on what they receive, that God will manifest the truth of these things to them by the power of the Holy Ghost (see Moroni 10:4-5).

July 14, 2025

Today I was led to one verse in Joseph Smith–History, that I should study and ponder.

Joseph Smith History 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."

This verse speaks of Moroni's first visit to the young Joseph on September 21, 1823, at his home at night. This was the last section of scripture from the Bible that Joseph states that this messenger from God quoted to him.

Here are the verses of Joel 2:28-32 that Joseph spoke of in this verse:
"And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:

And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.

And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.

The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the Lord come.

And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call."

See my previous notes also in Joel 2:28, Joel 2:30-31, and Joel 2:32 about this prophecy.

After I read and pondered all of these references, I was still uncertain why my Father had me find and read these verses. I asked Heavenly Father if he wanted to enlighten me this morning. I immediately felt that Heavenly Mother wanted to share something with me! Here are her words that came into my heart and mind:

"Raphael, this is your Heavenly Mother speaking to you this morning. I wanted you to know that when Moroni visited Joseph Smith, in September 1823, I had given a vision to him of your very day, just prior to him visiting the young Joseph. I had also given this same vision to the prophet Joel in the Bible. He wrote this prophecy under the influence of the Holy Ghost, who is myself. It has been preserved in your Bible, for you to read in your day."

You have read this morning two accounts from me where I referenced these verses in Joel chapter 2 (see 186I15-186I23 and 147K22-147K24). I had you write the following in 186I19:
"Whenever we might confirm our words through one of these [our children on earth], 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."

This great day is now beginning, with the online publication of the Book of Raphael that you have created. When our elect read and pray about your words, I will pour out upon them my Spirit, even the Holy Ghost, so they will know that we, their Gods, have spoken these truths to you in your record. They will then share these words with their trusted friends, who also will pray and receive the confirmation of my Spirit. Both will then rejoice together in being one in understanding. Truth will abound among our elect children! They will see "eye to eye" (see 131B14, 146B13-146B15, 202H4 and 198I7), when we will again establish Zion, even from the beginning! They will not feel any need to confirm these truths with any earthly leader, like a Bishop or a Stake President, or have the need to make sure that a general authority has written about this. We will establish afresh truth, and confirm it by my Spirit, the Holy Ghost. I will convey to these, my choice elect sons and daughters, the truth of your words, and other revelations that I will reveal to them.

Raphael, it has never been our intention that only one be appointed to govern our revelations, like is taught in the current doctrine of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Instead, we would that all be prophets (see Numbers 11:29), both men and women, and receive equally the abundance of truth and revelations from our hands! If there is a question they cannot seem to find an answer to, they may ask of you, who is at the head as our prophet until Jesus Christ comes in his glory. You will then be able to receive revelation on such a topic, directly from us. We will then confirm the truths that we will have revealed to you to them, by the Holy Ghost.

This great outpouring of the Holy Ghost upon our elect was spoken by Joel, in Joel 2:28-29
"And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:

And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit."

Raphael, this outpouring of my Holy Ghost upon our elect is now just beginning! It will continue throughout the entire millennium. We will greatly propagate our truths in this manner, even until every one know the Lord.

Jeremiah 31:33-34
"But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.

And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity and I will remember their sin no more.""

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her clarifying words to me this morning! I feel the enlightenment of her presence, even that of the Holy Ghost, come into me and confirm all of this. I expressed to her my excitement in being a conduit for her truths that she revealed to me this morning!

Today I was so tired from yesterday's family activities and my regular work that I could hardly awaken. In my morning prayer, my thoughts wandered all over, and then I got up and tried to study the scripture that I felt I had been directed to study (D&C 72). I couldn't figure anything out, and in frustration went back to bed. At breakfast I was grumpy, even to the point that my wife did the dishes for me (that is one of my inside chores)!

Do you ever feel this way sometimes?

Well, now I feel better, after doing my outside work. I really want to connect with my Heavenly Parents this morning (it's almost noon). My mind is much more at peace, and wakeful. I just offered and connective prayer with my Heavenly Father. My mind was focused, and I felt his presence and acceptance. I expressed my weaknesses of the flesh to him, and asked for revelation on whatever he or Heavenly Mother might want to give me, if anything.

I still felt that I should study and ponder D&C 72. I read this over again, being alert to any new insights I might receive.

Here are the verses that stood out to me:

D&C 72:3-4
"And verily in this thing ye have done wisely, for it is required of the Lord, at the hand of every steward, to render an account of his stewardship, both in time and in eternity.

For he who is faithful and wise in time is accounted worthy to inherit the mansions prepared for him of my Father."

I also felt that more was to be revealed about the last verse quoted yesterday's journal entry in Joel:

Joel 2:32
"And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call."

Here now are the 3 verses that I felt to ponder and think about today.

Heavenly Father then wanted me to write his words:

"Raphael, my son, I am pleased that you have persisted to come to me today, even amongst all the needed activities of your day. It is good that you devote your quiet mornings to meditation and prayer, for once your mortal day begins, it is hard to have time to be quiet enough to hear my words. However, you are now in a good place to receive my revelation to your unconscious mind and heart.

I want to continue with the topic of our elect being good stewards when they come to Zion, the New Jerusalem. I talked to you about stewardship on July 10-11, just four days ago. Joseph Smith the prophet wrote in D&C 72:3-4 that "every steward would render an account of his stewardship, both in time and eternity".

Once our elect come to the New Jerusalem, there will be a time for giving an account of his/her life, prior to coming into our Zion communities. After the first time our elect enter, they will have a time appointed to meet with one of our inspired leaders. These elect individuals, couples, or families will come together to share with our appointed leader their journey to this beautiful land. This entry interview will be more of sharing experiences, for there will be many who will have sacrificed greatly to come. The leader will hear of their recounting, which is really an account of the stewardship they have received, and how they have chosen to follow the directions of the Holy Ghost in their journey, leaving the telestial world behind. This will help the leader then choose where they may best fit and live as neighbors near those who, like them, have also made their trek to Zion. We will send the Holy Ghost upon our leaders to make inspired directions and suggestions. Above all, these leaders will be very warm and welcoming, fully embracing the new new citizen(s) of Zion into a happy community of believers in Jesus Christ. Our new Church of Christ will just be beginning to be organized (see 124F10-124F16 , 131G18, 143C13-143C23, 146E9-146E12, 182J6, and 192B9), so these leaders may not even have place yet in that terrestrial church. This accounting of stewardship is what will be "an account of their stewardship, in time." In the future, at the judgment day, there will be another "account of stewardship, in eternity". For those who have been good and faithful stewards, they will receive great rewards in the mansions I have prepared for them!

The prophet Joel in Joel 2:32 spoke about how these elect will call upon me, in the name of Jesus Christ, my Beloved Son, for deliverance from their trials in the days ahead. We will carefully lead our elect, mostly by the influence of the Holy Ghost in their lives, to a path that will ultimately lead them to Zion, even to the New Jerusalem. This is the island where mount Zion is located. Here will be the deliverance of this remnant!

Joel 2:32
"And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call."

Our elect will in this way gather in preparation for the glorious second coming of Jesus Christ. This is the main body of those who are invited to the marriage supper of the lamb, who will be caught up in the clouds of heaven to meet him (see 146G11-146H35). They will descend with him to the places of their habitation in the New Jerusalem area, where they have already settled. Oh, what a happy time this will be for the faithful who live on the mortal earth!"

My Heavenly Father was before me, in my unconscious mind, but very really there. I could perceive his smile and the light from his countenance. I feel so blessed to receive his words of truth, and be filled with his peace and light!

July 16-17, 2025

This morning in my scripture study, my Father in Heaven led me to read Mosiah 23:1-20, which I have copied below. While I read this, I had the distinct impression that Heavenly Father wanted to make comments on these verses. I have placed his words in parenthesis:

Mosiah 23:1-20
"Now Alma, having been warned of the Lord that the armies of king Noah would come upon them, and having made it known to his people, therefore they gathered together their flocks, and took of their grain, and departed into the wilderness before the armies of king Noah.

(Raphael, this is your Heavenly Father speaking to you. I led you these verses in the Book of Mormon because they closely parallel a future state of our elect that we will gather from across the earth, even to the New Jerusalem. Alma's people were all in one body when they traveled to the land of Helam, whereas our elect are currently located all over the earth, in various families, lands and conditions. We will gather them based on whom we have chosen, according to their beliefs and works [see Joseph Smith Matthew 1:44-46] to the New Jerusalem.)

And the Lord did strengthen them, that the people of king Noah could not overtake them to destroy them.

(Likewise, your Heavenly Mother and I will strengthen every one of the elect that we have chosen, so that their enemies, and the world, and those who could possibly influence them not to gather, will not overtake them.)

And they fled eight days’ journey into the wilderness.

And they came to a land, yea, even a very beautiful and pleasant land, a land of pure water.

(In these last days, each of our elect, whether gathered individually, as couples, in families or in like-minded groups, will have a unique journey. They may not know where we lead them at first, but ultimately will flee through their own wilderness to a very beautiful and pleasant land. We will lead them by the Holy Ghost, who to them will be generally unknown, but in reality is your Heavenly Mother. We will also employ our many heavenly servants to specifically guide them as we desire.)

And they pitched their tents, and began to till the ground, and began to build buildings; yea, they were industrious, and did labor exceedingly.

(When these, our elect, cross the river to the New Jerusalem, they will be generally worn out, but elated to arrive! They will mostly have no tents like Alma's people possessed, but only have a few possessions. In their journeying, we require that they sacrifice much of their material possessions in order to prove their dependence on us, and obedience to the guidance that we will give to them. Our elect will arrive in all states of physical health and well-being. All will come with humility in their hearts. They will rejoice to have finally arrived at the end of their journey, even to our land of pure terrestrial water, beautiful and lush plants in gardens and natural settings, and much food to satisfy their hungry souls. Mostly, they will feel the abundant peace, love, and light that permeates Zion, our heavenly community of like-minded saints.)

And the people were desirous that Alma should be their king, for he was beloved by his people.

But he said unto them: Behold, it is not expedient that we should have a king; for thus saith the Lord: Ye shall not esteem one flesh above another, or one man shall not think himself above another; therefore I say unto you it is not expedient that ye should have a king.

Nevertheless, if it were possible that ye could always have just men to be your kings it would be well for you to have a king.

(There will be a king in the New Jerusalem, even John the Beloved [see 54L5-54L9], who is a direct descendent of King David. He will rule in the New Jerusalem under his father, even Jesus Christ, who will be the king over all the earth [see 60E18, 179G27, and 59D2-59D10].)

But remember the iniquity of king Noah and his priests; and I myself was caught in a snare, and did many things which were abominable in the sight of the Lord, which caused me sore repentance;

Nevertheless, after much tribulation, the Lord did hear my cries, and did answer my prayers, and has made me an instrument in his hands in bringing so many of you to a knowledge of his truth.

Nevertheless, in this I do not glory, for I am unworthy to glory of myself.

And now I say unto you, ye have been oppressed by king Noah, and have been in bondage to him and his priests, and have been brought into iniquity by them; therefore ye were bound with the bands of iniquity.

And now as ye have been delivered by the power of God out of these bonds; yea, even out of the hands of king Noah and his people, and also from the bonds of iniquity, even so I desire that ye should stand fast in this liberty wherewith ye have been made free, and that ye trust no man to be a king over you.

(Our elect will have had various experiences under oppressive and wicked rulers, societies and laws. Their memories will be filled with personal experiences with evil situations they endured, and their choices to accept freedom and liberty, the foundational laws of Zion. Many of our elect will have been in bondage to evil governments, peoples, cultures and such from which we will have rescued them. They will all remember these entrapments of the adversary, and how they needed to repent and turn to us, their Gods, and Jesus Christ, their Savior. Their Redeemer will have forgiven them of their iniquities, and purified them so that their nature is changed. They will be in a state to come to a new land, a new way of life, even to Zion, the pure in heart!

In addition, Zion will be a land of freedom and liberty, similar to how those in the land of Helam lived for a time. In the New Jerusalem, and ultimately in all the millennial world, Jesus Christ will reign and the people will live by constitutional principles [see 194B11-194B20, 194H1-194H32, and 198J5-198J19], which was created to be lived by all mankind.)

And also trust no one to be your teacher nor your minister, except he be a man of God, walking in his ways and keeping his commandments.

Thus did Alma teach his people, that every man should love his neighbor as himself, that there should be no contention among them.

And now, Alma was their high priest, he being the founder of their church.

And it came to pass that none received authority to preach or to teach except it were by him from God. Therefore he consecrated all their priests and all their teachers; and none were consecrated except they were just men.

Therefore they did watch over their people, and did nourish them with things pertaining to righteousness.

(In Zion, we will have established many humble and righteous ordained teachers who will guide and spiritually nourish our newly arrived elect with the revelations of God. Soon they will become conversant with the scriptures, all that testify of us and are as one [Ezekiel 37:16-17]. They will rejoice in your record, Raphael, and will have full access to all that we will have revealed to our people by that time.)

And it came to pass that they began to prosper exceedingly in the land; and they called the land Helam.

And it came to pass that they did multiply and prosper exceedingly in the land of Helam; and they built a city, which they called the city of Helam.

(These elect that will come will expand the city, and add to the manpower to build it further [see 3 Nephi 21:23]. They will be established in the area of the "New Jerusalem" [the similarities between these cities of refuge was one factor in causing us to purposefully name our "New Jerusalem" to sound like a "New Helam"], awaiting the glorious second coming of Jesus Christ, my Beloved Son!)""

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his wonderful revelation to me this morning! I so look forward to being with these humble elect in the New Jerusalem, and in waiting with my loved ones and with them for the glorious second coming of Jesus Christ!

July 18, 2025

Yesterday I was pondering over whether or not I would be discovered in my mortal life as R among the people, and that I was really Raphael. Heavenly Father had said to me that I should remain unknown in general. I have therefore tried to remove any family names, associations or location where I live that would be clues in my record for someone to be able to identify me from anybody else. I kinda feel like Abinadi might have felt who went among the people of Noah in disguise (see Mosiah 12:1), or Abraham that said to the king that his wife was his sister, to preserve his life (Genesis 20:10-12).

I inquired of my Father in Heaven about his desire to keep me incognito among the people for now. I asked particularly that he protect me from those who could do me harm, and keep me out of the public eye until such time as he desired otherwise.

Here is what Heavenly Father then spoke to me:

"Raphael, I will keep your identity in secret among the people at large, particularly among those who might have intentions to expose you for any evil purpose. I want my elect to call upon me, in the name of my Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, and not ask of you, for their initial questions and inquiries. We want them to depend upon God and not man, even if it be one who is our called prophet who lives among them. Your Heavenly Mother and I are pleased how you work now in secret among those of the telestial world. In our own due time, when our elect come into the terrestrial mortal world, then we will reveal who you are. There may be a few who know who you are in your telestial world now, but by and large, you will be kept hidden in your current society."

After receiving these words, I felt comforted and assured that I had received this from Heavenly Father, and not from myself. I was reading D&C 76 at the time, and asked that I receive a confirmation of what I had just received, from the scriptures. I then felt to continue to keep reading in D&C 76, and soon came across these verses:

D&C 76:114-118
"But great and marvelous are the works of the Lord, and the mysteries of his kingdom which he showed unto us, which surpass all understanding in glory, and in might, and in dominion;

Which he commanded us we should not write while we were yet in the Spirit, and are not lawful for man to utter;

Neither is man capable to make them known, for they are only to be seen and understood by the power of the Holy Spirit, which God bestows on those who love him, and purify themselves before him;

To whom he grants this privilege of seeing and knowing for themselves;

That through the power and manifestation of the Spirit, while in the flesh, they may be able to bear his presence in the world of glory."

These verses then came to me as a witness from Heavenly Father, by the Spirit, with his purpose in keeping my identity secret from the people for the time being. He wants his elect to understand the words I have written in the Book of Raphael by the "Holy Spirit, which God bestows on those who love him, and purify themselves before him;

To whom he grants this privilege of seeing and knowing for themselves;

That through the power and manifestation of the Spirit, while in the flesh, they may be able to bear his presence in the world of glory." (D&C 76:116-118)

My conclusion: God, the Father, is calling upon the elect of God, whom he and Heavenly Mother love and will personally guide, to come to them in the name of Jesus Christ, seeking to be purified and then to seek their faces. In this process, Jesus Christ will forgive and cleanse them spiritually, and prepare them to receive the manifestations of the Spirit, even while in the flesh, to abide the presence of God in their lives.

D&C 93:1
"Verily, thus saith the Lord: It shall come to pass that every soul who forsaketh his sins and cometh unto me, and calleth on my name, and obeyeth my voice, and keepeth my commandments, shall see my face and know that I am;"

I felt then that were I to directly interface with these elect at this time, this would circumvent the intent of God, at least with some of the elect, placing me between them and God. Instead, their Gods want to directly work with each one, and manifest themselves to them individually, guiding them directly. They will have my words in the Book of Raphael, but not my individual guidance, at least for now.

July 19, 2025

This evening, I had some spare time from a busy day. While relaxing on the couch in my front room, I asked my Father in Heaven, what he would have me study in the scriptures. He distinctly directed me to these verses in Moses:

Moses 5:4-8
"And Adam and Eve, his wife, called upon the name of the Lord, and they heard the voice of the Lord from the way toward the Garden of Eden, speaking unto them, and they saw him not; for they were shut out from his presence.

And he gave unto them commandments, that they should worship the Lord their God, and should offer the firstlings of their flocks, for an offering unto the Lord. And Adam was obedient unto the commandments of the Lord.

And after many days an angel of the Lord appeared unto Adam, saying: Why dost thou offer sacrifices unto the Lord? And Adam said unto him: I know not, save the Lord commanded me.

And then the angel spake, saying: This thing is a similitude of the sacrifice of the Only Begotten of the Father, which is full of grace and truth.

Wherefore, thou shalt do all that thou doest in the name of the Son, and thou shalt repent and call upon God in the name of the Son forevermore."

I asked my Father why he wanted me to read and ponder this now?

Here is his reply, given to me in my unconscious mind, very clear to me:

"Raphael, I want you to know that you were my holy angel assigned to speak to Adam, in my behalf, as described in Moses 5:6-8! The words given in these verses were those same words I spoke to you, as my archangel messenger, to in turn deliver to Adam. He and Eve had previously heard the voice of my Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, from the way towards the Garden of Eden, to live the law of obedience and sacrifice. In your message to Adam, you explained the similitude of the sacrifice of the firstlings of the flock, to represent the future sacrifice of Jesus Christ for the sins of all mankind. This was the first time that we commanded Adam, Eve and their posterity to do all that they do in the name of the Son, to repent, and to call upon me in the name of the Son forevermore. This commandment will continue until the final judgment of all of our children of this eternity is completed. At that time our children will have been assigned a place in our vast kingdom. Our chosen Redeemer, Jesus Christ, will have finished his work, and the work of this eternity will have been completed. No longer will our resurrected children do all that they do in the name of the Son. Connection with us will be through the ministry of others assigned to their respective kingdoms (see D&C 76:85-88). Those who are celestial will be members of the Church of the Firstborn, and will have direct communication with us throughout eternity, without the need to go through the Son anymore, for their salvation will have been made perfect."

I felt very humbled to receive this revelation from my Heavenly Father! I felt the confirmation of the Holy Ghost that I was the angel who appeared to and spoke to Adam in these verses.

I then wondered further about the revelation that there will be an end to the commandment of doing all things in the name of the Son. While pondering this, the voice of Heavenly Father came again into my mind and said the following: "Raphael, yes, the work of the Son will one day be completed as you have written, and our resurrected children will no longer connect with us, their Gods, exclusively through Jesus Christ, their Redeemer. Until that time, all that our children do should be in the name of the Son, even as you commanded Adam."

This morning I awoke quite tired. Nonetheless, I was alert enough to be led to the following scripture, spoken by Jesus Christ, to study and ponder:

3 Nephi 15:5-9
"Behold, I am he that gave the law, and I am he who covenanted with my people Israel; therefore, the law in me is fulfilled, for I have come to fulfil the law; therefore it hath an end.

Behold, I do not destroy the prophets, for as many as have not been fulfilled in me, verily I say unto you, shall all be fulfilled.

And because I said unto you that old things have passed away, I do not destroy that which hath been spoken concerning things which are to come.

For behold, the covenant which I have made with my people is not all fulfilled; but the law which was given unto Moses hath an end in me.

Behold, I am the law, and the light. Look unto me, and endure to the end, and ye shall live; for unto him that endureth to the end will I give eternal life."

As I pondered these verses, it became clear that Jesus Christ gave the law, and also the covenant, both to the house of Israel. The law is fulfilled in him, but the covenant is not yet fulfilled, and is not destroyed. Jesus Christ is the law and the light.

I knew what the law was, that it was the law of carnal commandments given to Moses because of the stiffneckedness of the children of Israel. This included all the detailed obligations and outward commandments for the people, to help them learn obedience, and did not include the higher laws, including the ten commandments.

The covenants with the house of Israel are not yet all fulfilled. These covenants were those first given to Adam to make a sacrifice of the firstlings of the flocks, in similitude of the Only Begotten of the Father (see Moses 5:4-8 spoken about yesterday in my journal entry). It also included baptism, by water and the Holy Ghost, which was first taught to Adam:

Moses 6:51-53,64-66
"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.

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;"

These are the first covenants that God made with Adam, and continued with the children of Israel. These constitute the first principles and ordinances of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

However, Jesus states in these verses that his covenants are "not all fulfilled". To me, this means that some of the covenants from Jesus Christ have not been revealed. These comprise the everlasting covenant. These other covenants include those administered in the Church of the Firstborn. It means to me also that there are those who still need to make these covenants with God, even until the last man and woman that have come to earth and had that opportunity to do so.

After I have fully pondered and processed these verses in 3 Nephi 15:5-9, I asked if my Heavenly Parents had any comments about my words, or if they wanted to give me direction about these verses that they directed me to read.

Heavenly Mother then quietly spoke to me, and asked that I write her words:

"Raphael, the covenants that Jesus was talking about in these verses had partially been revealed by that time. These are those which are those found in the first principles and ordinances of the gospel. They are administered in the Church of Christ, in whatever age this church may be established on the earth. In these last days, the covenants of the Melchizedek Priesthood, and those of my High Priestess, will also be administered in the Church of Christ.

The other covenants that are not yet fulfilled are those which have just been revealed to you. All of these covenants comprise the everlasting covenant. You are correct that these are associated with members of the Church of the Firstborn, exclusively reserved for the elect that Jesus Christ brings to you as new members of the Church of the Firstborn. It is only for the elect of God who are chosen by Jesus Christ, called up by you, and then anointed in Church of the Firstborn to ultimately become couple gods in eternity (see 138C2-138C8).

There will be a time when the covenants referred to by Jesus Christ will all be fulfilled in him. This will be after our celestial have received all their covenants through their commitments and ordinances that we have prescribed, all done through the Son, even Jesus Christ our anointed one. Jesus Christ will be the last one whose name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life. When these covenants are then all made, and the last of the celestial are ordained Gods, then will all these covenants done in his name all be fulfilled. Once all the remainder of our children are then judged and assigned a kingdom of glory, or of no glory, then will the work of our the Great Redeemer be finished and completed.

For those assigned to a telestial or terrestrial glory, there are no covenants or ordinances necessary for them to enter into these kingdoms. It is only for the celestial that eternal covenants are to be entered into and fulfilled by us, their Heavenly Parents, as part of our agreements and terms of each covenant with our children."

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her beautiful and clarifying words to me today! I am so grateful for the abundant blessings that she, Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ give to us!

I felt directed to study 3 Nephi chapter 24. I only have 3 Nephi 24:1 (see also the counterpart verse Malachi 3:1) highlighted in Raphael Volume Two so far, under the references in the Book of Mormon. I believe there is more to uncover!

3 Nephi 24:1-18 (matching verses in Malachi chapter 3 are given in grey italics directly after each verse. Any word changes in either texts I have underlined)
"1 And it came to pass that he commanded them that they should write the words which the Father had given unto Malachi, which he should tell unto them. And it came to pass that after they were written he expounded them. And these are the words which he did tell unto them, saying: Thus said the Father unto Malachi—Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me, and the Lord whom ye seek shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in; behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of Hosts.
"1 Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts.

2 But who may abide the day of his coming, and who shall stand when he appeareth? For he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fuller’s soap.
2 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fullers’ soap:

3 And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness.
3 And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness.

4 Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the Lord, as in the days of old, and as in former years.
4 Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the Lord, as in the days of old, and as in former years.

5 And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger, and fear not me, saith the Lord of Hosts.
5 And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the Lord of hosts.

6 For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
6 For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.

7 Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me and I will return unto you, saith the Lord of Hosts. But ye say: Wherein shall we return?
7 Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the Lord of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return?

8 Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say: Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.

9 Ye are cursed with a curse, for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.

10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in my house; and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of Hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the fields, saith the Lord of Hosts.

12 And all nations shall call you blessed, for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the Lord of Hosts.

13 Your words have been stout against me, saith the Lord. Yet ye say: What have we spoken against thee?
13 Your words have been stout against me, saith the Lord. Yet ye say, What have we spoken so much against thee?

14 Ye have said: It is vain to serve God, and what doth it profit that we have kept his ordinances and that we have walked mournfully before the Lord of Hosts?
14 Ye have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the Lord of hosts?

15 And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered.
15 And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered.

16 Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another, and the Lord hearkened and heard; and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name.
16 Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another: and the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name.

17 And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of Hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.
17 And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.

18 Then shall ye return and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not."
18 Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not."

The exercise above did not reveal any major changes between the Book of Mormon version quoted by the Savior, and the Bible version in Malachi.

I was curious to know about what the "book of remembrance" in verse 16 meant. I wondered if it was the Lamb's Book of Life, written by only Heavenly Mother, and also by Oriphiel in the New Jerusalem Temple (see Heavenly Father's words given to me on January 6, 2025 about the Book of Life). This is spoken immediately before the verse that says God will make up his jewels, the jewels being God's children who are exalted.

I also read my posts given in Malachi 3:1, Malachi 3:3, and Malachi 3:10, trying to understand more that has already been revealed to me. After doing this, I asked my Heavenly Parents for direction on what verse(s) they would like me receive new revelation for?

Heavenly Father then had me write his words that he would put into my mind:

"Raphael, I have led you to read, ponder and evaluate over the past day the words of Jesus Christ found in 3 Nephi 24:1-18. These are the same basic and unchanged words, as you have determined, as I have revealed myself to Malachi, my prophet.

You have recorded correctly in past posts and revelations from us the meaning of these verses in your Book of Raphael. However, I want to now reveal to you the hidden meaning of 3 Nephi 24:16-18 or Malachi 3:16-18. I will add my own words of interpretation in parenthesis:

3 Nephi 24:16-18
"Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another, and the Lord hearkened and heard; and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name.

(Today, this scripture verse is opened to your eyes: Those who feared the Lord are my elect, who have pressed forward in faith, and been called by Jesus Christ, my Beloved Son, to be brought into the Church of the Firstborn. These individuals will also, at some point, be introduced by Jesus Christ to me, their Heavenly Father, and to their Heavenly Mother. They will be appointed to one day in the near future, come to the land of Eden in the celestial New Jerusalem, and be called by you, Raphael, to enter into our celestial temple. You will then administer to them the waters of separation ordinance, which will bring them into the Church of the Firstborn. At that point, our archangel Oriphiel will record their names in the Book of Life as having received this ordinance. The Book of Life is the same as the "book of remembrance" given in verse 16. We have kept this hidden until now. Our elect children will then be guaranteed their eternal life and exaltation, and will eventually become couple gods in eternity!

These whose names are written in the book of remembrance, as it is called in 3 Nephi 24:16 or Malachi 3:16, are those who "feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name". This is another way of saying these individuals "press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men" (see 2 Nephi 31:20). These will be filled with exceeding great joy at that time! Even your Heavenly Mother and I will be there to witness this great ordinance in their behalf!)

And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of Hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.

(The jewels that I referred to when I spoke this revelation to Malachi are my elect children that are brought into my celestial church, the Church of the Firstborn, and that will be exalted.

D&C 60:4
"For I, the Lord, rule in the heavens above, and among the armies of the earth; and in the day when I shall make up my jewels, all men shall know what it is that bespeaketh the power of God.")

Then shall ye return and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.

(The righteous are all those who enter into the Church of the Firstborn. These are the celestial. All the remainder of my children are considered wicked, those who ultimately receive a terrestrial or telestial glory, or no glory.)""

I am so very happy to have received this wonderful revelation from my Father! It fills me with joy to be able to minister to these, the righteous, in the New Jerusalem Temple!

July 23, 2025

This morning I sought for direction from my Heavenly Father in prayer. I did not want to do my will at all, but only be directed by him. After five minutes in meditation, I felt that I should think about these two scriptures, one in the Doctrine and Covenants, and one in the Book of Revelation:

D&C 86:1-3
"1 Verily, thus saith the Lord unto you my servants, concerning the parable of the wheat and of the tares:

2 Behold, verily I say, the field was the world, and the apostles were the sowers of the seed;

3 And after they have fallen asleep the great persecutor of the church, the apostate, the whore, even Babylon, that maketh all nations to drink of her cup, in whose hearts the enemy, even Satan, sitteth to reign—behold he soweth the tares; wherefore, the tares choke the wheat and drive the church into the wilderness."

Revelation 12:6,14
"6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.

14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent."

I knew that I had received revelation about D&C 86:1-7 in the past, even as recently as June 18, 2025 in my journal entry above. However, this time my mind focused upon D&C 86:3 where the wheat are driven into the wilderness. I thought this was the same time period as Revelation 12:16 where the woman flew into the wilderness, into her place.

I also had received on June 14, 2017 a commission, in my post 53T7:
I was "Commissioned to be in charge of the celestial wilderness area on the celestial orb." This means also that all three Gods (Heavenly Father, Heavenly Mother and Jesus Christ) will work with me in many of the commandments they give to the gathering of their elect children in mortality.

I was told more about the wilderness area in heaven:
"This entire area, encompassing all three rivers, God's Loving Healing Center, the city of Zion, and Lake Beautiful, comprise the area spoken of in Revelation 12:6 as the wilderness, where the woman (the church of God in premortal times), fled from the dragon (Satan and his hosts), where she was protected from his wrath. This area always has been a sanctuary for the righteous, in the celestial world. Once Lucifer fell and rebelled, he never could enter into these lovely and protected areas."

See 53C6, from Heavenly Father: "You will all be able to commune with us, your Heavenly Parents. We will give you inspirations and directions by revelation from heaven. To commune with each other, go to the celestial worlds, to the wilderness area, where you are free to interact in your unconscious selves. This is already your base where you work from, in the celestial realms, in serving our children on earth. Your ability as mortal angels to connect to your unconscious replicated selves will be more critical if you want to consciously be aware of what you are doing in your roles as angels of God. Each one of the mortal angels will have different abilities, based on their own effort to spend time in personal meditation and prayer. What you, Raphael, have described to the mortal angels in your website posts, will serve as an example of how they too may connect to their own unconscious selves, in their heavenly roles as angels of God."

51J15-51J19, recorded on May 17, 2017: "I have reflected about the wilderness area, and concluded it is reserved for us who work directly in the celestial realms for those elect on the earth. There are vast areas of the celestial world beyond this wilderness area. These areas house the billions of premortal spirits yet to be born on earth.

They have their dwelling there, but I am not privy to any of this yet. I know all about the wilderness area, for I have visited and frequented all of it regularly in my prayers and healings. This is the same area spoken of in Revelation 12:6 and 14.

Revelation 12:6,14–

"And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.

And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent."

In verse 14, the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness into her place. This is figuratively this celestial realm in the wilderness area of heaven, on God's celestial orb and kingdom, far away from the reaches of the adversary. This is our base of operations to work from to help rescue and save God's elect on the earth.

There will also be a wilderness area on the earth, a sanctuary, in the New Jerusalem area, now in Jackson County, Missouri. This will also be a celestial area, a wilderness area, free from the intrusion of Satan and his hosts. I too will be very involved in the establishment I believe, of this wilderness area on the earth. The living water is already there, deep in the earth, as are the precious metals–all brought from the celestial wilderness area of heaven.

Oh, the grandeur of God! Their great planning and power in saving the righteous on the earth! I feel so blessed to be part of this great and grand effort!"

After having read and pondered all of this, I asked my Heavenly Parents if either of them wished to give me more information on this subject.

Heavenly Father immediately spoke to me:
"Raphael, the wilderness area are designated areas both on our celestial orb and now on the celestial earth. On earth it is in the land of Eden superimposed on the New Jerusalem. The celestial areas on the earth can all be accessed from the land of Eden, with our permission. You have been commissioned to be in charge of both of these celestial wilderness area locations, even until Jesus Christ returns to the earth in glory. It is from these two locations that our celestial servants labor and are sent to their respective assignments. Their assignments are now to gather the elect on the earth, and to bring them to the terrestrial New Jerusalem area. There will be a large group of these elect gathered to the island of the New Jerusalem and surrounding lands, at the time of the second coming of Jesus Christ.

Currently, our mortal elect are mostly on the telestial earth among the wicked. It is in this degenerating telestial world, that Satan still reigns in the hearts of the tares of the earth, as spoken of in D&C 86:3. All the nations of the earth have been influenced by the "whore, even Babylon, that maketh all nations to drink of her cup." Increasingly, it will not be a safe place for the righteous to dwell.

The meaning of "the tares choke the wheat and drive the church into the wilderness" in D&C 86:3 is this: the tares who are people on the earth, have Satan's ways in their hearts. These ways of Satan influence all communities to be afflicted with evil and wicked actions. Currently our righteous elect are spread over all the earth, in all communities of the earth, among the nations. The only escape for our beloved elect, those who choose good over evil, and yearn to be in a righteous society, is for them to escape Babylon, or the telestial world. We who are your Gods, and our holy angels and heavenly servants who follow our directions, will carefully lead our chosen elect to the safe garners of the New Jerusalem, in the terrestrial mortal world. This is our plan of gathering in these last days for our mortal elect, between now and the second coming of Jesus Christ.

In Revelation 12:6, John the Revelator saw that the wilderness on earth would be a place where the wicked could not enter. This is the place prepared by us, your Gods, in two locations. First in the celestial realms of the earth for our angels and other celestial servants, from where to minister to the elect on the earth. The second location is in the terrestrial realm of the New Jerusalem for the elect that we have chosen. Once our elect are starting to be gathered to the New Jerusalem, these first ones will help prepare for other elect who will soon also be arriving.

In Revelation 12:14, John also saw that the woman, who represented the Church of the Firstborn (see JST Revelation 12:7), would be given two wings of an great eagle. With those wings, or our heavenly power, she would fly to her place, even a place of safety where the wicked cannot come (see 97H14 when this area was first protected by God from Lucifer). The great eagle is symbolic of our Godly power to bring our angels and heavenly servants, plus any of the elect that are called by Jesus Christ, to the celestial realms on either the earth or our own celestial orb. These realms are one and the same, and can be accessed from either of these two location by portals in our New Jerusalem Temple (see 54O3), or by our power of movement that we extend to our servants.

In addition, the woman represents the Church of the Firstborn in both the premortal life and again on the mortal earth. When Satan rebelled in heaven, he was first cast to the earth from our celestial orb (see 97H8-97H9). In the mortal world, at the beginning of the millennium and after the second coming of Jesus Christ, he will again the second time be cast out. In Revelation 12:9, the great dragon represents Satan. This second time Satan will be bound by you, Raphael, as our mighty archangel, and be removed from among the living for a thousand years (see Revelation 20:1-3)."

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his message to me this morning! I see that his words made more complete all that has been written in the Book of Raphael on this subject. I know that he and Heavenly Mother are shoring up their revelations, to make them more complete and understandable, that are contained in the Book of Raphael. I feel so humbled to be the recipient of their revelations!

July 24-25, 2025

M.A. wrote me tonight, and asked "if the internet goes down, how will the elect find the Book of Raphael?"

Tonight while I was in my front room, I addressed my Heavenly Parents with this question. Heavenly Mother immediately responded, and asked me to write her words:

"Raphael, there may be occasional internet problems over the next nearly four years when we will inspire a good part of our elect to find your website. However, every one of our elect will find you, for we will guide them carefully, according to their heed and diligence that they give to us in prayer.

We would also like you to make available a full copy of your online webpages, for our elect to download on their own personal computers or other devices. The hyperlinks on these copies will access the files on their own devices. Your entire website will therefore be downloaded in a single folder structure, replicating the one that you use on your website. When this entire website is downloaded, it will allow them to use a web browser to access your entire website offline. The hyperlinks on these files will link to each other, all the while being offline.

It is important to us that our elect may have their own copies of your website if they desire. This will allow them to study these offline, when they don't have access to the internet, or when they want to be offline. If they desire, they may print off copies of your webpages for their own use, or to share with others. We ask them not to duplicate your website online, but to refer to the BookofRaphael.com which is your own. The posts in Raphael Volume One hardly ever change, but those in volume two and three change frequently as more information and links are added. You may update these latter webpages as replacement pages of earlier versions at least twice a month, to keep these offline pages generally current. Keep these downloadable pages all in a separate folder, with a link to that folder on all your major webpages in the front navigation section. Date each version, so that our elect may insure that they have the latest copy in their own downloaded files."

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her wisdom for me to get these downloadable copies available on my website. I told her that I would begin starting tomorrow and check with her if I have any further questions.

________________________________________

July 26-27, 2025

I followed the directions of Heavenly Mother yesterday and created a zipped folder that could be downloaded on a device like a computer. I have placed the hyperlink at the navigation top area on many of my webpages. Here is the link as it appears:

Book of Raphael Download
Book_of_Raphael.zip (will take some time, depending on your internet speed, (see instructions here)

I also included a file in the zipped folder named "read_me_first.txt". This gives simple instructions on how to put this on one's computer or other device. It also contains the date of that specific download.

---------

This morning I was directed to ponder the following:

D&C 86:4-7
"4 But behold, in the last days, even now while the Lord is beginning to bring forth the word, and the blade is springing up and is yet tender—

5 Behold, verily I say unto you, the angels are crying unto the Lord day and night, who are ready and waiting to be sent forth to reap down the fields;

6 But the Lord saith unto them, pluck not up the tares while the blade is yet tender (for verily your faith is weak), lest you destroy the wheat also.

7 Therefore, let the wheat and the tares grow together until the harvest is fully ripe; then ye shall first gather out the wheat from among the tares, and after the gathering of the wheat, behold and lo, the tares are bound in bundles, and the field remaineth to be burned."

As I pondered these verse, here is what I thought:

In verse 4, "the word" refers to the Book of Raphael, and many new revelations flooding the earth that the Lord is now bringing forth (see Moses 7:62-64). The elect who are the new wheat, or the blade, are just beginning to be exposed to the vast amount of these revelations. They need time to read, ponder and pray about these revelations, and confirm that they are from God and not man. This is why they are yet tender in God's eyes, for they are just developing their faith in his word.

All of God's angels, plus many other heavenly messengers, are also now all working on the earth, with a mission to gather the elect, or to reap down the fields. Reaping is what people do at harvest time to gather in their grain crops. The 1828 Webster Dictionary, used at the time of this revelation, defines reap as "to cut grain with a sickle; as, to reap wheat or rye." These angels are acting under the direction of Heavenly Father, Heavenly Mother, and Jesus Christ. They are waiting for every command from their Gods.

The direction to the reaping angels is to assist first the wheat to become aware of the revelations from God. When these elect are strong enough, and are able to survive a move to the gathering of the harvest, or safe garners, then they are reaped. The location of gathering the harvest is in the New Jerusalem on the terrestrial earth.

Different angels also are charged to bundle the tares, preparing them for the burning at the second coming of Jesus Christ. These angels will wait until all of the elect (the wheat) are gathered to safety. They will then bundle the tares in the field (the field is telestial earth), for their destruction is made sure. Christ will burn the telestial earth at his coming. Only the terrestrial and celestial will remain on the physical earth.

I next read all that had been revealed to me by God on this parable. I enjoyed what Heavenly Father spoke in 107H2-107H13.

In this section Heavenly Father said the following:
"The wheat is now fully ripe, ready for harvest. This means we will now soon gather them, one by one, into our safe garners. We need, however, to remove the tares from among them, separate them one by one, and bind them ready for burning. This means that the time is now at hand for calamities of all varieties to come to the earth, which calamities are aimed at destroying the wicked, the nations of the earth, and the evil establishments and organizations on the earth. Our great work in saving the elect and destroying the wicked is to be done one at a time. I know the works of each of my children, and your Heavenly Mother and I will access the hearts and works of each of our mortal children. This time of judgment in separating the wicked from the righteous is now fully at hand."

"Heavenly Father spoke again: 'Raphael, we will use this sharp sickle in separating the wicked from the righteous in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This is where my wrath will begin when it comes on the earth as a whirlwind. I will first separate those who blaspheme me in the midst of mine house. (see D&C 112:26)

Your Heavenly Mother and I will also call upon the angels to help us separate the wicked in preparation for their removal from the earth. We will work in coordination with our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, and with John the Beloved, his son, who has been commissioned to do much of the destructive work among the nations and peoples of the earth."

I also enjoyed reading 108F7-108F18, words also from Heavenly Father. This describes the great harvest of the wheat by Heavenly Father and the angels of God, and the great fire that consumes the stubble and the wicked, the tares of the earth.

I then began to wonder how the process of gathering the elect will begin in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It is to this church that so many of the elect have already been brought, including myself.

I have wondered before about the whirlwind described in D&C 112:23-26:
"Verily, verily, I say unto you, darkness covereth the earth, and gross darkness the minds of the people, and all flesh has become corrupt before my face.

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

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

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

Now it seems to me that this vengeance and burning that comes as a whirlwind might be initiated by the gathering process of the elect from the tares, that will happen in the LDS Church. Heavenly Father said above in 107H10 that "This is where my wrath will begin when it comes on the earth as a whirlwind. I will first separate those who blaspheme me in the midst of mine house. (see D&C 112:26)"

I then sought my Heavenly Father again in prayer, seeking to receive more clear information on how the whirlwind separation of the wheat from the tares will come in the LDS Church.

Heavenly Father then spoke to my heart and mind, and had me write his words:

"Raphael, it is good that you have studied again my word about D&C 112:23-26, and how this ties into the parable of the wheat and the tares, that I had previously revealed to you over 6 1/2 years ago in your posts 107 and 108. I wish to explain now in more detail how this will occur.

When our elect who are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, read your record, they will pray to me in the name of Jesus Christ, my Beloved Son. If they are sincere, and pray in faith with an openness of heart, willing to do as we direct them, their Heavenly Mother will reveal to them the truth of your record by her power of the Holy Ghost. Many will then gain the faith to desire to come to Zion, the New Jerusalem, with as many of their loved ones as will come with them. There will be so many with these desires that it will cause a big stir in the church and among the church leaders. This will cause a large separation and division in the church membership. It will come quickly, even as a whirlwind of change. The gathering to Zion will not come from the church authorities, but it will be instigated from your record which contains so many revelations from us. We will cause these, our choice elect sons and daughters, to be moved upon by the power of the Holy Ghost, to act.

The great division in the church will cause our elect to be awakened to their core, and many will believe to the point that they will prepare to travel to Zion, the New Jerusalem, even as we will inspire them. They will need to carefully follow our promptings, for we will guide them as they inquire of me in the name of Jesus Christ. It is at this same time, during the relative peace in the land, that our angels and other heavenly servants will assist us to bring these, our elect, to the New Jerusalem. Those who act during this time in following our directions, will depart in relative peace. If they delay coming to Zion, and wait, there will come calamity and increased hardships for them to come.

The church leadership will also become divided. Many will withdraw their membership from the records of the church, and will rely fully upon us, and not man, for their direction. Our elect will come in small and large groups, even as we direct them. Most will depart quietly without letting even their fellow members and associates know of their intentions. We will show forth our great power in their deliverance to the terrestrial realms of the earth in the New Jerusalem area.

All the while that this separation and division is happening, there will also be greater division in your own country, and in the world. The separation of the king-men and the freemen among the Nephites in the Book of Mormon (see Alma chapters 51 to 62, and your journal entry dated June 28, 2025) is a type for the division in your country and the world in the days ahead. However, we will keep the peace in the land for at least the next 3 1/2 years ahead, even as we have promised to you. The purpose of this relative time of peace is for us to inspire our elect to follow our directions in coming to Zion.

In D&C 112:25 it states "And upon my house shall it begin, and from my house shall it go forth, saith the Lord". This is referring to the awakening of our elect to us, and in them gaining a desire to move to Zion, the New Jerusalem. This movement will first begin among the Latter-day Saints, and then spread across the land and the world to our elect who are in other locations, and not in the LDS Church. They too will receive your record, the Book of Raphael, and pray to me in the name of Jesus Christ my Beloved Son. Heavenly Mother will also inspire them by her power, even that of the Holy Ghost. We will send our angels of heavenly messengers to likewise help them in coming to Zion, the pure in heart.

Never before will we have interceded so fully in bringing forth our chosen people to a place of safety as we will in your day. This movement will be unprecedented in its magnitude. The scripture will then be fulfilled, spoken by Jesus Christ in JS Matthew 1:44-45:
"Then shall be fulfilled that which is written, that in the last days, two shall be in the field, the one shall be taken, and the other left;

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

Currently, our elect are located all over the world, in various nations and families.

Jesus spoke this to his disciples about your time:

Matthew 10:35-40
"For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

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

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

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

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

He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me."

Our elect hear our voice, and keep our commandments, above the pull of others or the world:

D&C 45:57-58
"For they that are wise and have received the truth, and have taken the Holy Spirit for their guide, and have not been deceived—verily I say unto you, they shall not be hewn down and cast into the fire, but shall abide the day.

And the earth shall be given unto them for an inheritance; and they shall multiply and wax strong, and their children shall grow up without sin unto salvation."

D&C 29:7
"And ye are called to bring to pass the gathering of mine elect; for mine elect hear my voice and harden not their hearts;""

My Heavenly Father stopped speaking. It took me some time to digest his words, and to write them in my record. I have confirmed his words he spoke above over several days. I am very humbled to have received such a beautiful insight on how the gathering will happen, first in the very church that I have been gathered to in my youth! I see that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has fulfilled an initial gathering of the elect, but that our Gods themselves will show forth their great power in completing this amazing gathering work!

I am reminded of this scripture:

D&C 103:15
"Behold, I say unto you, the redemption of Zion must needs come by power;"

The power will be the very power of our Gods, Heavenly Father, Heavenly Mother, and Jesus Christ, their Beloved Son.

July 29-31, 2025

This morning I read D&C 76:51, concerning the righteous elect that will be exalted in the celestial kingdom of God:

"They are they who received the testimony of Jesus, and believed on his name and were baptized after the manner of his burial, being buried in the water in his name, and this according to the commandment which he has given"

I then immediately thought of the commandment to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. I love the words of Alma at the waters of Mormon, in Mosiah 18:8-11

"And it came to pass that he said unto them: Behold, here are the waters of Mormon (for thus were they called) and now, as ye are desirous to come into the fold of God, and to be called his people, and are willing to bear one another’s burdens, that they may be light;

Yea, and are willing to mourn with those that mourn; yea, and comfort those that stand in need of comfort, and to stand as witnesses of God at all times and in all things, and in all places that ye may be in, even until death, that ye may be redeemed of God, and be numbered with those of the first resurrection, that ye may have eternal life—

Now I say unto you, if this be the desire of your hearts, what have you against being baptized in the name of the Lord, as a witness before him that ye have entered into a covenant with him, that ye will serve him and keep his commandments, that he may pour out his Spirit more abundantly upon you?

And now when the people had heard these words, they clapped their hands for joy, and exclaimed: This is the desire of our hearts."

I have reread what Heavenly Father spoke about being warm and welcoming in my journal entry on July 15, 2025. The context of this was when the elect would finally arrive to the New Jerusalem area, they would be warmly welcomed and numbered with the loving people there.

Heavenly Father said this: "Above all, these leaders will be very warm and welcoming, fully embracing the new citizen(s) of Zion into a happy community of believers in Jesus Christ."

I loved what Heavenly Mother said about baptism, and about this scripture in Mosiah 18:8-10, in 100D7-100D8, and 100D15-100D16: "This beautiful scripture captures our exact sentiments and intention for what baptism means. We love to see our faithful children be gathered in our earthly church and then to bear one another's burdens and to show love and service to each other.

When the Church of Christ is established again on the earth, our people will be linked together in love and kindness. They will have entered into this church by the simple ordinance of baptism. Symbolically, it will wash away their sins, and they will come forth as a new person, dedicated to serving us, their Gods, and each other in love and acceptance."

"Members of the Church of Christ who have all been baptized and taken upon themselves the covenant of baptism as spoken of in Mosiah 18:8-10, may renew their covenant each week by partaking of the sacrament. This ordinance is also administered by the priesthood in the Church of Christ, under the direction of the Bishop. Each member of the church can therefore become cleansed anew through their sincere partaking of the emblems of the sacrament, through faith and repentance. We may thereby lead our chosen members of the Church of Christ to become the elect of God, if they press forward in faith and diligence. One day, according to their works and desires, our diligent members may be elected into our Church of the Firstborn and be accepted into the direct path of exaltation to become even as we are. These candidates are accepted by Jesus Christ, and are brought to you and Oriphiel for the ordinance of the waters of separation, having their names written in the Lamb's Book of Life.

Raphael, this is the path for our children to come back to us and partake of eternal life and exaltation. There is no other way or means. It all starts with faith in Jesus Christ, repentance, baptism by immersion with correct authority, and the gift of the Holy Ghost."

I also read this, again from Heavenly Mother in 146F21-146F23 and 146G2-146G3: "We expect our faithful to love each other, to just be there to support the one who is suffering. In the case of loved ones, this might require many hours or days of putting aside their own plans and bearing their burdens with them. Such are requirements of loving family members, and also loving members of the fold of God, or the elect of God."

. . . "Raphael, many of our children reject the requirements of being loving members of the fold of God. Most respond when a loved one is in great need, but even then they are often too self-centered to drop their own agendas and open their time to serve and bear the other's burdens, that they may be light.

As our elect children awaken to us their Gods, they will also awaken to the need of others around them whom they may serve and love. We will help them love by the circumstances that come into their lives that give them this opportunity."

In 146G8, Heavenly Father spoke to me after I partook of the sacrament: "The greatest lesson of life for our children is for them to turn outwards from themselves to those around them. Our way is to serve our children, and this love for others was clearly taught by Jesus Christ in his life and teachings. We desire all of our elect to love each other, and to care for the needs and concerns for their family and for those around them."

I loved what Heavenly Father later said in 198J10-198J11, 198J13-198J15 about the cities of Zion, and the requirement to love and care for each other:

"There will be cities in the terrestrial world where our children will live that will not be cities of Zion. Those who live in these cities will be good freedom loving men, women and children. They will flourish and grow, but may not be members of our Church of Christ if they choose not to do so. They are described in D&C 76:75 as honorable men (and women), who receive of the presence of the Son, but not of the fulness of the Father (see D&C 76:77). "They are not valiant in the testimony of Jesus; wherefore, they obtain not the crown over the kingdom of our God (D&C 76:79).

Those who live in these non Zion cities are not allowed to enter into the New Jerusalem city, or other cities of Zion upon the terrestrial earth until they individually conform to the higher entry requirements of these cities. The other Zion cities are terrestrial locations, but have a higher level of unity and belief. They have all things common among them, even according to the law of consecration and stewardship. They are all members of the Church of Christ. They have all made a covenant to live these (the) higher laws of Zion that our righteous live. These include giving freely of their substance to those in need or want, and living in great love and harmony with their neighbors. They fully live their baptismal covenants as members of the Church of Christ, found in the Book of Mormon." He then quoted Mosiah 18:8-10.

"Raphael, those who live in Zion, and come within her walls and gates, have the great desire to live this covenant of Zion, even as the people of Alma did. The scripture says when they "heard these words, they clapped their hands for joy, and exclaimed: this is the desire of our hearts." (Mosiah 18:11).

The desires of their hearts include a humble heart, an open mind, and a great willingness to serve and love their fellowman. When our grown children make this covenant of Zion, they are allowed entry into the New Jerusalem and the cities of Zion.

You may wonder why we would not allow the others who haven't made such a covenant access to Zion, even to visit. We have chosen to keep a higher standard for Zion than for the rest of the millennial world, in order to preserve the holiness of Zion and to keep in the minds of the inhabitants of Zion the great importance of their active covenant. This entry restriction in Zion will keep a higher quality of love, safety and peace among all who dwell there. They will have full assurance that all their Zion neighbors also believe and act as they do."

Here is another entry that I really like on this topic:

164B6-164B15: "Heavenly Father then spoke: Raphael, we also remember you all of the time, and want to bless and prosper you and our elect living on the earth. These remember us, your Heavenly Mother, Jesus Christ, and me, or will soon after their conversion(s). We will bless them with Heavenly Mother's protecting corona flame, and will bring them forth into a millennial world that will produce from the land in rich abundance. Our Spirit will be upon our people, and we will have relationships with each, according to their desires. We will open up to them quicker and more fully so they come unto us, their Gods.

Your experience with the birds eating most of your cherries from your tree, and us inspiring your kindly neighbors in sharing their own cherries freely, is an example of how our people on earth should share with others in need. There will be many of our elect inspiring your kindly neighbors in sharing their own cherries freely, is an example of how our people on earth should share with others in need. There will be many of our elect in distress for a short time as we transition your earth from the telestial to a terrestrial environment. We desire our elect, and all people, to freely share what they have to those less fortunate, or in distress and need.

D&C 105:5-6

"And Zion cannot be built up unless it is by the principles of the law of the celestial kingdom; otherwise I cannot receive her unto myself.

And my people must needs be chastened until they learn obedience, if it must needs be, by the things which they suffer."

As our people share, according to the principles in the law of the celestial kingdom, we will bless them with greater abundance, even in their times of privations and hardships. We will multiply their blessings, like you felt when you were freely given a box of ripe cherries.

The covenant of baptism into the true Church of Christ is correctly described in your scriptures, as caring and blessing for others in need"

He then quoted Mosiah 18:8-9 and Moses 7:18.

He continued: "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."

After reading these comments and more in my posts from Heavenly Father and Mother, and pondering them, I know that I need to now act in great love and concern for all those around me, in my family, neighbors, friends, and also all people that I might meet. This is truly an integral part of becoming a follower of Jesus Christ, a Christian.

As part of my current calling in my ward, my wife and I both greet new members and non-members who arrive in our ward boundaries. We visit them in the houses, and at our church building if they come to church. This is for me a very exhilarating experience! They are new and usually don't know anyone, even neighbors. They are almost always so grateful for someone who reaches out to them. They become instant friends, and we become someone who they can feel comfortable with.

I feel the Spirit frequently in this activity of greeting and welcoming. I love this calling! It is really a calling that all of us in the Church of Christ should embrace, even if we are not formally asked to do so.

I then asked my Heavenly Parents if one of them wanted to say anything beyond what I have written them speaking to me in the past. Heavenly Mother then spoke to me:

"Raphael, it has been good for you to have read and pondered our words to you about the great importance of our elect children to have charity, the pure love of Jesus Christ (see Moroni 7:46-48). Everyone who enters the rest of the Lord will have received this overarching gift and requirement to have this love in their heart. In the course of their premortal and mortal lives, they will have been given this great gift from us, their Gods.

The apostle Paul also wrote about the very important and overarching need to having charity in 1 Corinthians 13:1-13. You have not included this entire chapter in your references in the Book of Raphael, in the New Testament. I want you to include this chapter, with reference to this journal entry today. These verses in 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 are beautiful, and completely reflect our feelings.

Everyone of our elect who are called by Jesus Christ to enter the glorious Church of the Firstborn must needs have attained a high level of charity, the pure love of God. Without this gift from us, they are truly "as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal". This means that their religion and actions are hollow, for they have no driving purpose and meaning. We will give each of these, our children whom we have chosen to become like us, a great outpouring of the gift of charity prior to them entering into our celestial church.

Charity, the love of God, is the motivation and driving force behind all of our actions. This great gift is what binds all of our works together, into one great whole. Truly, this abundant love of God is a prerequisite for our children to possess, when we bestow our greatest gift to our children, the gift of eternal life and exaltation (see D&C 14:7). Raphael, you have also not included this verse in your references in the Book of Raphael. I want you to include this reference today, with a link to this journal entry. We do not grant eternal life to any of our children except to those who have sought for the gift of charity first, and that we have graciously given to them this great, great blessing!"

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her words! I felt very humbled and grateful before my Heavenly Mother today. I know that I have only recently been gradually endowed with this great gift of charity. I feel it now, motivating me in all my actions, more and more. I am still full of so many weaknesses of the flesh, and stumble and yield to pride and the cares of the world at times. However, the love from God, and God's great gift of charity I feel for others, motivates me to repent and become one with God. I pray for a greater and greater abundance of charity in my mind and heart. It is so delicious to me!

August 1, 2025

This morning I prayed where in the holy scriptures that my Father would like me to study and ponder. My eyes fell upon this scripture in Mosiah, and I knew that this was where I was supposed to focus my attention:

Mosiah 3:1-4
"And again my brethren, I would call your attention, for I have somewhat more to speak unto you; for behold, I have things to tell you concerning that which is to come.

And the things which I shall tell you are made known unto me by an angel from God. And he said unto me: Awake; and I awoke, and behold he stood before me.

And he said unto me: Awake, and hear the words which I shall tell thee; for behold, I am come to declare unto you the glad tidings of great joy.

For the Lord hath heard thy prayers, and hath judged of thy righteousness, and hath sent me to declare unto thee that thou mayest rejoice; and that thou mayest declare unto thy people, that they may also be filled with joy."

I was familiar with this chapter. I also read into the next chapter.

Mosiah 4:1
"And now, it came to pass that when king Benjamin had made an end of speaking the words which had been delivered unto him by the angel of the Lord, that he cast his eyes round about on the multitude, and behold they had fallen to the earth, for the fear of the Lord had come upon them."

I then asked what I was to learn from these verses in the Book of Mormon that I had been directed to read. Here is the response from my Heavenly Father:

"Raphael, when King Benjamin was old, and was ready to pass the kingdom onto his son Mosiah, he caused that his people should gather around the temple in the land of Zarahemla. Raphael, the day before he was to speak to them, I sent you as my angel of God, to the bedside of Benjamin. I gave you the message that King Benjamin delivered to this people concerning Jesus Christ in his address, comprising Mosiah chapter 3. King Benjamin was a righteous man, and delivered your message to the people just as you delivered it to him. Heavenly Mother was present, and confirmed all his words by the Holy Ghost which came mightily upon the people of Nephi, as recorded in Mosiah 4:1-3.

Raphael, I want you to include Mosiah 3:1-4 in your references in the Book of Mormon, in the Book of Raphael Volume Two. Place a link also in your other appearances to my children, since the beginning of mortality, in D&C 128:21. You have been my angelic messenger since the beginning, at various times when I wanted to communicate directly to my children. In every case that you delivered my message, the Holy Ghost was present to confirm all your words, that they were from me, their Heavenly Father."

I then came before my Heavenly Father on bended knee, in my replicated physical body (see 155B4-155B15), and thanked him humbly and sincerely for this great honor that he gave to me, in my premortal life as his angelic messenger! I thanked him for the commission that he gave to me recently, to be a part of these last days events prior to the second coming of Jesus Christ to the earth in glory. I finally thanked him for the great responsibility to work in the New Jerusalem Celestial Temple, alongside with Oriphiel, my archangel brother, in administering the waters of separation ordinance to those elect chosen by Jesus Christ (see 53B17-53B24). I felt overwhelmed by these great revelations and responsibilities!

Heavenly Father then spoke to me again:

"Raphael, your Heavenly Mother and I have chosen you from the beginning to have these great missions, to minister to our elect children that we would create in our image. Your calling is great, and was one that was to be coordinated with your older brothers in the Spirit, even Immanuel, Michael and Gabriel. Immanuel became our Great Redeemer, even Jesus Christ (see 97F18-97F21). Michael became the first man on the earth, and our chief archangel. Gabriel initiated the worldwide flood by our power, saved his immediate family from the great waters in the ark, and became the patriarch of the righteous after the flood (see 57B9, also 57B19-57B21). Raphael, as our fourth son, you had a premortal mission of delivering my messages to our chosen vessels on the earth. You also have fulfilled a critical mission of creating the terrestrial island of the New Jerusalem by my power (see 172F5-172F15), and the beautiful celestial temple superimposed on the center of that island. You have been chosen to reveal our abundant revelations in the Book of Raphael, never before written to mankind, as part of us revealing all things to our children at the beginning of the great millennium. You also have the singular mission to admit our chosen elect into the celestial Church of the Firstborn, by administering the waters of separation ordinance to each one.

Stay close to your Heavenly Mother and me, and we will continually be by your side. We will do our "work, our strange work; and bring to pass our act, our strange act" (see Isaiah 28:21) through you, and many others whom we have called to work under your leadership, to bring to pass the gathering of our elect in these last days."

I lifted my head to view the smiling face of my Heavenly Father! I was then filled with great light and joy!

Please do not take my word alone about these words and this experience, but pray to your Father in Heaven, in the name of Jesus Christ, if these things are not true. If you are open, sincere, and willing to do what God says, he will reveal the truth of these things to your heart and mind by the power of the Holy Ghost (see Moroni 10:4-5). Of this I testify.

August 2, 2025

Yesterday I had worked outside a lot, and came inside in the evening, resting on my couch. I wanted to know what my Heavenly Father wanted me to study and ponder. I felt it was in the cannon of scripture, and I soon came upon these verses in the gospel of John, where he had directed me:

John 14:21-23
"He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?

Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him."

I really like all the posts that I have reprinted in John 14:6-7,14-23. These were so uplifting, and explained fully this scripture. I also found 2 Nephi chapters 31 and 32, starting with 2 Nephi 31:17, also full of the doctrine of how Jesus Christ first reveals himself to his elect, and also introduces the Father and the Mother shortly thereafter.

I then asked my Heavenly Father what he wanted me to know about the scripture in John 14:21-23. Here is his response:

"Raphael, we will answer the sincere prayers of our elect children, and give them more and more access to our Holy Ghost and our presence, as they prove to us their diligence and intent. We want our elect to read our words that you have referenced in your Book of Raphael in John and 2 Nephi chapters 31 and 32. Oh, we long to connect again with them, and to reveal ourselves to them!"

I thanked my Heavenly Father for revealing to me his true desire for each of his obedient and faithful children. I know from my experiences that this relationship becomes the most important in our lives. It is so critical in being guided to gathered to safe places, and in coming to Zion, the pure in heart.

August 3, 2025

Today my mind was directed to this scripture in the Doctrine and Covenants: D&C 103:15-20
"Behold, I say unto you, the redemption of Zion must needs come by power;

Therefore, I will raise up unto my people a man, who shall lead them like as Moses led the children of Israel.

For ye are the children of Israel, and of the seed of Abraham, and ye must needs be led out of bondage by power, and with a stretched-out arm.

And as your fathers were led at the first, even so shall the redemption of Zion be.

Therefore, let not your hearts faint, for I say not unto you as I said unto your fathers: Mine angel shall go up before you, but not my presence.

But I say unto you: Mine angels shall go up before you, and also my presence, and in time ye shall possess the goodly land."

See the many references in D&C 103:15-20, and my particularly my posts 140B9-140B19, 188C15-188C26, and 192F7 that speak of this scripture.

I also read in my journal entry references to D&C 103:15-20 already this year on June 27, July 2-3, July 26-27, and now today, August 3, 2025. I wondered why my Heavenly Parents or I keep bringing up these verses in my scripture study? I am thinking that there is more for them to yet reveal on this great miracle of gathering of the elect to the New Jerusalem, that they want to tell me.

After perusing these records, I prayed to my Heavenly Mother about these things. I prayed if she or Heavenly Father had additional insights or information that they wanted revealed about the gathering to Zion, that has not yet been revealed.

I immediately felt her bright being in front of me in my private room where I was writing on my computer and praying! I asked that I be a conduit for her words, and be able to properly write them down. Here are her words:

"Raphael, my son, your Heavenly Father and I have repeatedly brought up the topic of the gathering of our elect to Zion, the New Jerusalem to you recently. We have spoken with anticipation of the time when our elect that we have chosen, will be gathered home to Zion. We will do this individually, one at a time, and be very attentive parents in caring for them, in orchestrating situations and the lives of each one. We now have a host of angels and other celestial and terrestrial beings to assist us. The gathering of our elect from the ends of the earth to Zion, the New Jerusalem in the terrestrial mortal world, will be done by our great power! Never before have we interceded so fully in so many of the lives of our righteous elect, at the same time.

Raphael, the reason why I have inspired you again to read D&C 103:15-20 is because of your role in this entire process. We have extended to you our power of replication for many years now. This is a power that we possess, that we may also extend to certain of our children as is necessary to accomplish our purposes. Such is the case with you, for you have our great commission to gather Israel, along with John the Beloved, whose physical translated body resides in the New Jerusalem now. This mission that you both have is the gather our elect to Zion from all over the telestial mortal earth (see also D&C 113:1-6 and its many references). Under your leadership, you have all the hosts of angels, resurrected and translated beings from the unseen world who dwell in celestial and terrestrial physical realms, and many who are spirit beings, whether they have lived on earth and died, or many too who have yet to be born in mortality. These, our servants, are great and many! They all work under your direction and leadership now. They know of your Book of Raphael, and actively read and follow along with the abundant revelations that we pour out upon you. They each follow my promptings, as the Holy Ghost, and are dedicated to doing everything that Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, or I may direct them. However, they also have a structured leadership with you at the head, as our archangel. Under this organized structure, they also receive clear and frequent direction that is inspired by us, your Gods. All of the inspiration that we give to you and to these many helping hosts is coordinated and congruent. All the direction from us to you and these servants is unified and focused.

You are replicated many times over to accomplish your great assignments. We have chosen to replicate you in your physical translated celestial body, even while you live in mortality on earth. In this state, you wear your angel vestures of light, recognized by all in the heavenly realms (see 192D8-192D11).

We are also in constant communion with you, and with these many heavenly servants who work and labor under your overall leadership. In your mortal conscious mind, you are not aware of these things, for they would overcome you. Instead, you live a quiet but active life in Utah, still in the telestial world. This will be very difficult for you and others to understand, but it is how we have chosen to operate with you, our commissioned prophet, in gathering our elect just before the second coming of Jesus Christ to the earth.

In addition to your great commission to gather Israel, you also serve our faithful elect who have been chosen by Jesus Christ, in the New Jerusalem Celestial Temple. In this labor of great love, you administer the waters of separation ordinance to our faithful elect. These have mostly been resurrected individuals who have proven themselves before Jesus Christ, and whom he has chosen. You have called each of them forth to enter that beautiful temple, and have brought them into the Church of the Firstborn. Oriphiel, our faithful record keeper archangel, has recorded each of their premortal names in the Book of Life, assuring them of eternal life and exaltation. This great work that you and Oriphiel do is so fulfilling to each of you, and very rewarding for us, the Heavenly Parents of the new members of our celestial church!

It is with this understanding, of your role as our archangel prophet in these last days, that this scripture in D&C 103:10-15 should be pondered and read. Please include my comments in parenthesis after these verses:

103:15-20
"Behold, I say unto you, the redemption of Zion must needs come by power;

(Raphael, this power means the power of God, not man or earthly man. The redemption of Zion is the gathering of the elect, from across the mortal earth. We have involved millions of our heavenly hosts to assist us, and we have extended to each one great power to individually bring each of our elect to safety, even to Zion, according to our individual plan for each of these, our beloved children.)

Therefore, I will raise up unto my people a man, who shall lead them like as Moses led the children of Israel.

(Raphael, this man is you. You are a mortal translated man. We extend to you our Godly power by replicating you many times over to lead and direct our vast heavenly host in this great labor of gathering! (see 140B14-140B17 for an explanation why you replaced Joseph Smith as this man, once he had died.)

For ye are the children of Israel, and of the seed of Abraham, and ye must needs be led out of bondage by power, and with a stretched-out arm.

(The bondage is the restrictions that our elect have in the mortal world which prevent them from coming to Zion. The bondage is also the spiritual shackles of not knowing what great things are in store for them, in the world of true peace and safety, only available in the New Jerusalem terrestrial area on the earth (see D&C 45:66-71). The bondage is also the lack of knowledge, which will soon be available to them as we will inspire them to obtain your record. This new found knowledge will kindle within them a flame of faith that will allow us and our servants to truly bring them out of their situation to a far better place in Zion, the pure in heart!)

And as your fathers were led at the first, even so shall the redemption of Zion be.

(The fathers referred here are the children of Israel, led by Moses from Egypt into the promised land of Israel. In these last days, these modern-day children of Israel will be led by even greater power by our us their Gods and our chosen heavenly servants to Zion, the New Jerusalem, which is the new land of promise.)

Therefore, let not your hearts faint, for I say not unto you as I said unto your fathers: Mine angel shall go up before you, but not my presence.

(Raphael, this angel was the angel who led your fathers, the children of Israel, by the bright cloud by day and the fiery pillar by night, see Exodus 13:21-22.)

But I say unto you: Mine angels shall go up before you, and also my presence, and in time ye shall possess the goodly land."

(In these last days, all the heavenly angels and abundant other heavenly servants will help assist us, their Gods, in going before them into the goodly land. The goodly land is the terrestrial realm of the earth at the New Jerusalem, and surrounding lands.)

(words in parenthesis above from Heavenly Mother.)

Raphael, we will fully succeed in bringing every one of our elect to the New Jerusalem area as we have previously designed. There will be a few that we do not bring before the second coming of Jesus Christ, but these will still be preserved and caught up in the clouds to meet our Beloved Son when he comes. The event of the second coming of Jesus Christ is the climax and fulfillment of our great gathering work! After this glorious event happens, you will soon be relieved of your great mission of gathering our elect from the ends of the earth!"

I wrote my Heavenly Mother's words extremely fast, for she spoke quickly and with much energy! I feel so, so glad to have recorded what she said! I am likewise very impressed and moved by the great love that she and Heavenly Father have for each of their chosen elect children!

Additionally, I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her beautiful words that she directed to my heart and mind this morning! I feel like I was truly a conduit of her energy and power, akin to how a thick copper column would conduct electricity to the ground. In my case, I was certainly elevated beyond my mortal senses to comprehend her words, and to quickly write these down! I felt charged with light the entire time she spoke to me!

Even though what I wrote about today from Heavenly Mother spoke of me in a high position of authority and power, I feel none of this now in my mortal mind and body. I feel instead very humble, and even marvel how something so magnificent could really happen with me being in a position of such leadership! I feel so ordinary still, now that the intense flow of revelation has ceased. I consider myself a regular mortal man again, that has just been so very much enlightened by my Heavenly Mother's light and truth. I trust her words, and lean on them for their fulfillment, for these are not my own. I feel the assurance that all of this is true, and very real. However, in my mortal realm of my conscious mind, things seem still very ordinary. I do know, however, that my Heavenly Mother and Heavenly Father are right next to me, by my side even now, and will stay there too, for this they have repeatedly promised me that they would do. I feel their light and assurance continually. Oh, I feel so very blessed and happy!

August 4-6, 2025

Over the past few days my wife and I discussed what was the most important thing for us to do with our lives, money, and energy. The normal perspective of people who are our age, who know that they will die in the next 20 years or so, is to save too much money so that the remainder has to be distributed to others. Their children will generally outlive them.

With a perspective of my future mission, which is now hidden from the world, I wonder what God would say that my wife and I should do with our possessions, and how we spend our time during the day? Do we now start to give away our possessions and money, to help those around us meet the challenges of our telestial world we live in? Do we do the things that bring us most satisfaction with our money? Do we stop working so darn hard every day, and just live off our saved investments and resources? We are in a position where we have no debt, and could easily live the remainder of our lives well until over a hundred years old. I believe we could easily live until such time that Jesus Christ would come again and introduce us into the beautiful and peaceful terrestrial world, at the start of the millennium.

I have been told that I will live into the millennium and through the entire span of those thousand years, even as a translated mortal being. I believe that my wife will also live with me that entire time, whether translated or resurrected. I am not sure about any others in my family except for my son who lives with us, for this depends if they are numbered among the elect or not, of which I don't have knowledge. I have assumed that most of those who are brought into the millennial day will die after a long life in the millennium. I also believe that those who are not numbered among the elect, will die at the time of the second coming of Jesus Christ or before, for they are mostly of the telestial. As for me, I have been told that I will die at the end of the millennium, and also resurrect at that time.

I have also been told that my __ acre property in Utah County has changed or will change from telestial to terrestrial land, and will therefore transition into the millennium (see also my notes in D&C 45:70). This includes my house, garden, orchard and other growing areas. It includes our gardens, tools, maybe even the chicken shed and things we depend upon to maintain our lives. It includes the aquifer from where my well water comes from.

My questions: Would it be best for my wife and I to selectively give away all our possessions including other rental houses and lands that we might own, investments, bank accounts, saved gold and silver bullion or coins, in our telestial world, that are not needed for our immediate needs or sustenance, by the beginning of the millennium, were we to know when that would start? Would there be anything outside of my immediate property that are my possessions that could be brought into that higher terrestrial realm? Or is everything outside our property going to be destroyed with the rest of the telestial mortal world? Will entering into this higher realm mean that all that is telestial, or that might be in a bank or investment somewhere, need to be left behind and most likely be destroyed at the second coming of Jesus Christ?

What about our favorite places like our church buildings where we meet with our loved ones, friends, and fellow Christians? What about recreational areas we love to visit on the earth, the beauties of nature that surround us: will these all be destroyed as part of the destruction of the telestial world?

I have thought that most of us elect will be able to bring only our physical bodies, and a few possessions that we might carry on our own persons, and the clothes on our back. Those in this coming to Zion in this state will be in a very needy condition, physically and probably emotionally too. I know that even our clothes will be swapped out for terrestrial clothing when we enter the New Jerusalem. It looks like most everything from the previous mortal life will be left behind for most of those chosen by God to come into the millennium.

I have already had a lot of these questions answered in previous communications with my Heavenly Parents. However, I would like to dig deeper into specifics of what really do we do with all our stuff that we have accumulated over a lifetime, particularly those which are investments that will undoubtably vanish when Jesus Christ comes in his glory? Couldn't they be shared now with our loved ones, particularly with those who are struggling with life's challenges in raising their families?

I asked my Heavenly Father if he had any comments on how I should deal with my investments, bank accounts, and anything beyond what my wife and I would need for the future for our own use.

He then asked me in my mind to write his words:

"Raphael, this is your Heavenly Father speaking to you today. What you are typing on your computer are my words, and not your own. I am pleased that you and your wife have been discussing this topic. We have richly blessed you both together, with lands, houses, many growing areas that are flourishing, and abundant other resources. You have much more than you will need for you two to sustain yourselves, and meet your every future need, easily up until the time of the second coming of Jesus Christ to the earth.

It is wise for you to start giving away your excess resources to your children and grandchildren who would immediately benefit from these gifts. You may also want to be very generous in supporting worthy and uplifting causes that you believe in, that need funding to flourish. When you ask of us, your Heavenly Parents, about any of these causes, we will immediately respond with our views on how wise your proposed gift would be.

Sometimes family members may feel that some of these investments and monies in your possession are rightfully theirs, as an inheritance, and may quibble about your gifting decisions. However, we have blessed your wife and you because of your diligent, hard and purposeful work and effort in attaining your wealth and abundance. Every able man and women has their own journey through life, and we will bless them also, according to their hard work and their own path and life experiences we wish them to have. Therefore, all that you have been blessed with is fully your own stewardship, and nobody else's. You are free to impart of the resources in your stewardship as you wish.

My advice is to consult with your beloved wife and immediately start gifting what your feel inspired to share with others. Figure out what you would need to keep to sustain yourselves, and give away the remainder. You will not be able to take any of your investments, monies or other possessions with you except what is transferred into the millennial world as physical items in your own household and __ acre property in Utah, as I have revealed to you in the past. We will answer your prayers about what you should keep in your house and on your property that is appropriate to transfer into that beautiful and peaceful world of the millennium."

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his counsel, and told him that we would start sharing generous gifts of our resources with our children and other worthy causes.

August 7, 2025

I felt directed to read Mark 11:22-26
"And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.

For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses."

I had never mentioned this scripture anywhere in my Book of Raphael. I asked my Heavenly Mother why I had been led to this scripture in Mark about faith.

Heavenly Mother then spoke to me:
"Raphael, on August 3, 2025, in your journal entry above, I spoke to you the following, speaking about the elect who had gained a knowledge of your Book of Raphael: "This new found knowledge will kindle within them a flame of faith that will allow us and our servants to truly bring them out of their situation to a far better place in Zion, the pure in heart!"

I have chosen today to speak about the great importance of a growing faith in hearts of our elect children, as we tenderly and carefully lead them to Zion.

Faith is what motivates our children to action. When the seed of belief that something is true starts to sprout, this grows into faith quickly as our child converts their belief into action. The first action they normally take is to ponder frequently about what they have read, and to seek more. Your Book of Raphael is replete with abundant revelation on so many topics for them to search. Once our elect have the desire to read and search for more, they may become more and more convinced in their minds that what they read may really be true. That is when they will ask of us, with an open heart and mind, if what they are reading in the Book of Raphael is true, and from us (see Moroni 10:4-5). If they are sincere, and have the attitude to act on our confirmations to their heart and mind, I will give them a spiritual confirmation by my power, even by the Holy Ghost.

Once our humble elect knows that this Book of Raphael is from us, and not from you or man, they will be on a quest to learn more, and to grow in their faith. This faith will be like a small campfire that is growing as more and more wood is added. The brightness of their belief will become unshakeable if they continue to study and confirm with God that this is all true!

We have recently had our called teachers instruct the spirits of these our elect children previously in our celestial realms, in the slumbers of the night (see 171D16, 177H5, and 190F11). These, our inquiring children, will recognize these truths that they read in your book, as those they were recently taught in their unconscious minds. They will not be able to recall the exact circumstances of their previous teachings, but will remember the teachings, and how they felt so enlightened. They will feel these same beautiful sensations when they read and ponder your words in your Book of Raphael, in their mortal bodies.

Jesus Christ spoke in Mark 11:25 "Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them." This desire for a knowledge of the truth of your record will be replaced with a knowledge that these revelations are true. When this happens, I will more abundantly pour out the Holy Ghost upon them, and our many heavenly servants will help us gradually guide them to Zion, the pure in heart. In process of time, their faith will become very strong, even to move mountains if needs be, according to our will (see Ether 12:30). The obstacles in their way to gather, will be like mountains that we will help remove, all according to their faith."

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her very hopeful and uplifting words! Oh, I feel so glad to be close to her and Heavenly Father, to be able to hear their voice, and to write their words!

August 8, 2025

This morning I sought to do as my Gods would inspire me. I asked, by the Spirit, what they would have me do to improve the Book of Raphael more to how they wished this book to be.

As I pondered how to improve the Book of Raphael, I felt again to find a verse or more in the cannon of scripture available to me, that they would like me to ponder.

Here are the verses that I was led to read:

Helaman 13:7
"And behold, an angel of the Lord hath declared it unto me, and he did bring glad tidings to my soul. And behold, I was sent unto you to declare it unto you also, that ye might have glad tidings; but behold ye would not receive me."

Helaman 14:9
"And behold, thus hath the Lord commanded me, by his angel, that I should come and tell this thing unto you; yea, he hath commanded that I should prophesy these things unto you; yea, he hath said unto me: Cry unto this people, repent and prepare the way of the Lord."

Helaman 14:26-29
"And behold, thus hath the angel spoken unto me; for he said unto me that there should be thunderings and lightnings for the space of many hours.

And he said unto me that while the thunder and the lightning lasted, and the tempest, that these things should be, and that darkness should cover the face of the whole earth for the space of three days.

And the angel said unto me that many shall see greater things than these, to the intent that they might believe that these signs and these wonders should come to pass upon all the face of this land, to the intent that there should be no cause for unbelief among the children of men—

And this to the intent that whosoever will believe might be saved, and that whosoever will not believe, a righteous judgment might come upon them; and also if they are condemned they bring upon themselves their own condemnation."

When I read this, I knew that I was the premortal angel who gave this message to Samuel, a Lamanite! I had previously been told this from Heavenly Father, but I had forgotten that revelation. I then inquired of Heavenly Mother, and here is what she immediately spoke to me. She spoke to me, and I wrote, in a similar same way as Helaman said that he received from the Spirit and did "speak the words of the Lord which he (did) put into my heart" (Helaman 13:5)

"Raphael, this is your Heavenly Mother speaking to you. I am speaking to your unconscious mind, even as I have always spoken to you in your premortal life, and in your life recently. As you hold still, and focus, and seek to see my face before you, you may visualize me clearly in this, your unconscious mind before you. My eyes are especially clear and sparkling before you. You have called these my eternity eyes in the past (see 177B5, 178D23 and 187H2). Your view of my eyes cannot be duplicated by any other means except that I wish to reveal myself to you. Raphael, this is a great, great gift that you have to come into my presence and behold my face!

I wish now to illucidate the scriptures in the Book of Helaman that you have written above, more than Heavenly Father had revealed to you previously. Samuel was a Lamanite who came to the Nephite people to preach in the land of Zarahemla (Helaman 13:2). Your Heavenly Father and I summoned you, as our holy archangel of light, to come before us at that time, in our celestial realms. You stood before us, and your Father and I both spoke to you the message that you were to address to Samuel. These prophecies were great, even events that would soon occur in the world prior to the birth and at the death of Jesus Christ, my Beloved Son. After you received our words, you appeared to Samuel on earth, and spoke everything that we had just given to you. You did this as our angelic messenger, sent directly from the presence of God.

Samuel's message to the people comprise Helaman chapters 13 to 15. His message is the same that I had given to you on our celestial orb, just moments before.

Raphael, this morning you asked your Father in prayer how you could improve the Book of Raphael, according to his will. In response, I have come to share what your Father and I had given to you as a Godly message to speak to Samuel. You rejoiced in this new knowledge, and were immediately obedient to our words, and left our presence and delivered it to Samuel. Not only was this your calling in your premortal life, but you were extremely faithful in acting immediately in relaying our messages to our choice children on the earth, like you spoke to Samuel that day.

You have wondered how our Beloved Son, the premortal Jehovah, who came to earth as Jesus Christ, acted as the God of our people Israel, giving them direct revelation, while we, at the same time, their Heavenly Parents, were more directly removed from our children than was Jesus Christ, and how at times messages from us came directly to our children via an angel.

It is true that your Heavenly Father and I chose Jehovah to be the God of the world, even before and after his advent to the earth (see 1 Nephi 19:10). He is the Great Redeemer, and as such is the one through whom our children come to us (see 57B18 and 57C11). We ask that our children pray to the Father, in the name of the Son, and do everything in approaching us, or acting as our servants, in the name of Jesus Christ. However, we also have a specific method to also relay our direct messages to our children, either by the Holy Ghost who is me, or by our angels. You are the only one we have commissioned to be our direct angelic messenger, to take our words and commandments in person to our children on earth. Heavenly Father gave you that direct mission, by the laying of his hands upon your head, prior to the days of Adam and Eve, to be done during your entire premortal life.

Once you were born in mortality in the last days, you no longer were sent to any of our children on earth as our messenger to relay our direct words. Our plan was that once you were in the flesh, we would awaken you to your role as Raphael, our third archangel son, and then have you create your Book of Raphael. This you have already done. Your Book of Raphael is still in the process of growing with our continual abundant revelations. New revelation will continue to be added, even until the return of Jesus Christ to the earth in his glorious second coming. Once that event happens, and once you are ushered into the terrestrial millennial world with our righteous elect, your Book of Raphael will be completed. You may keep your private journal at that time from then on, but it will not be part of your completed Book of Raphael. There must needs be a closure to your record, so that all our millennial children and heavenly host will be able to have our abundant revelations that we have given to you, as their own completed volume of scripture, in their own possession.

The list of many of the appearances that you have made to our children on earth, since the days of Adam are recorded in your notes in D&C 128:21. Also include a link in your appearance to Samuel the Lamanite entry of this revelation to you today from me."

I gazed into the beautiful eternity eyes of my Heavenly Mother, and felt her great love and tenderness she had towards all of her beloved childen! I felt enveloped with her abundant love and light. Oh, I love her smile and her beautiful eyes! I thanked her for this beautiful revelation to me this morning. I bowed my head in humble acceptance of her words.

________________________________________

August 9, 2025

When I awoke this morning, I read what I had written yesterday. I felt strongly that this message was from my Heavenly Mother, and not from me. I felt assured in her and Heavenly Father being near me, not only when I studied and pondered the scriptures, but throughout the day.

I wondered then how could one of their children find out if they were numbered among the elect of God or not. I knew that if they were among these terrestrial elect, they would most certainly be guided and gathered eventually to Zion, into the terrestrial realm of the mortal earth. I wondered what promptings and signs they might receive to be assured that they were truly guided by God and the heavenly hosts?

I knew the obvious answer to my question above was for that individual to approach God in humble and sincere prayer, and directly ask Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, if he/she was an elect child, chosen to enter into the millennium that was coming. They could then petition and plead in prayer to be led to Zion, the New Jerusalem, by God and any of the heavenly hosts. They could ask to be made aware of heavenly guidance in their lives, so that they could be stronger in their faith. They could also ask for God to help them develop the love of God that is required for the elect to come into the realms of Zion.

I then thought that the elect would be very attracted to the words of God found in the Book of Raphael. They would not scoff at the revelations that I have purported to have received. They would be humble believers in their hearts and minds. They would want to read and study more. The teachings they read would ring true, and be very delicious to them spiritually. They would think of the truths of God throughout the day, and ponder them when alone. If they had trusted friends or family, they would share their new found truths with them. If that person or persons ridiculed their beliefs, or challenged them, they would again pray and confirm with Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, whether these things they shared were true or not. When in such a state, the Holy Ghost would then come upon them and give them a spiritual witness again of the truth of these things. Coupled with that assurance from God, they would continue to believe, despite the rejection of others who were their friends or family. This would be difficult, but they would value more the spiritual confirmation than the opinions of others.

I then thought that it would take some tenacity on the part of the elect to pursue their course to come to Zion. However, it would be through these difficulties that their faith would not only be challenged, but would grow stronger. To be gathered to Zion, they would need strong faith and assurance from God that they were pursuing the correct path. This would bring them joy and hope.

Heavenly Father then asked me to write his words! I was elated to do so:

"Raphael, I want to give you more information about my elect, whom your Heavenly Mother and I have recently chosen. Every one of them will be eventually brought into the terrestrial world, at the New Jerusalem. Most will be gathered there prior to the second coming of Jesus Christ, and the remainder will be also brought there after the second coming. Therefore, at the beginning of the millennium, when Jesus Christ comes to reign on the earth, all will be gathered to the New Jerusalem area. These are all our elect.

These elect are also called terrestrial elect who have qualified to come into the terrestrial mortal world. Among them are also those who will be chosen by Jesus Christ, because of their great diligence, faithfulness and good works, to enter into our celestial Church of the Firstborn. I will then differentiate these as our celestial elect (see 134B3-134B10). Therefore there are both the terrestrial elect and the future celestial elect who will enter into the millennial era of peace and rest.

All others of our mortal children are the larger hosts of the telestial, and also those who follow Lucifer. These will all be destroyed in the flesh at the second coming of Jesus Christ. The mortal telestial earth will also be fully destroyed at the same time. They will all be ushered into the telestial world of the dead, awaiting the day of judgment. Among these there may be some who will repent in the spirit world and be later rewarded with a higher degree of glory than a telestial world of glory.

You are correct that to enter into the millennial world, our elect will be tested to show us how determined they are to keep our commandments and to follow our promptings. We have chosen each one based on how they have lived their lives in their premortal and mortal probationary estate. We are committed to carefully lead our elect, one by one, to a better and happier world of peace and joy, where even Jesus Christ will rule and reign for a thousand years! It is worth their entire effort and focus to work towards coming to this beautiful mortal world.

D&C 45:57-59
"For they that are wise and have received the truth, and have taken the Holy Spirit for their guide, and have not been deceived—verily I say unto you, they shall not be hewn down and cast into the fire, but shall abide the day.

And the earth shall be given unto them for an inheritance; and they shall multiply and wax strong, and their children shall grow up without sin unto salvation.

For the Lord shall be in their midst, and his glory shall be upon them, and he will be their king and their lawgiver."

Raphael, we have revealed to you that our elect, destined to come into this new terrestrial world, have all been changed in their mortal bodies. This change is a physical change from a telestial mortal to a terrestrial mortal state. The change is hardly obvious now, but this will allow them to be brought into that higher realm of terrestrial glory. Without this change, their body and spirit would not tolerate the higher intensity of light and higher spiritual level in the terrestrial realm, but instead be extremely uncomfortable, and even in physical and spiritual pain. This is also the same intensity that prevents Satan or his evil hosts from entering into the terrestrial world. The difference between a telestial mortal and a terrestrial mortal person is this: a terrestrial body will be allowed into the terrestrial millennial world, whereas the telestial body will not be allowed, according to the laws of that higher kingdom. The telestial body will be burned at the coming of Jesus Christ, while the terrestrial body will be caught up in the clouds to descend with Jesus to the earth. This is what the parable of the wheat (the terrestrial mortals) and the tares (the telestial mortals) is really all about. The coming change in the mortal world on the earth will cause a drastic division between the righteous and the wicked, or the wheat and the tares. The wicked will be burned, and the righteous will enter into the rest of the Lord.

The terrestrial elect who have had this physical change in their bodies, will also have had a spiritual change in their minds and hearts. Their spirits have each been recently taught in the celestial realms while they slumbered on earth (see 171D7-171D21)). They have been taught the truths that later they will recognize as true and very familiar. They will be far more receptive to the revelations in your Book of Raphael than those who are telestial. They will ask of us the truth of your record, whereas the telestial will not be so inclined, thinking our revelations are fables and made up by you.

Raphael, you also had questions about how your Heavenly Mother and I set up the way we would interface with our children in mortality in this eternity (see Moroni 7:24). In the beginning, we chose the Great Redeemer, even Jesus Christ our Firstborn, to become the God of the mortal telestial world. He became the God who gave revelations to our righteous men and women on the earth, prior to his advent to the earth. He will continue in this role until the end of the millennium.

We also chose Jesus Christ to call those who would be brought into the celestial Church of the Firstborn. Once chosen, he would also introduce these individuals to me and to their Heavenly Mother. You and Oriphiel were chosen to administer the receiving ordinance into the Church of the Firstborn, and to record their names in the Book of Life.

During the telestial mortal realm of the earth, we also set up a method to teach our children directly from us, their Heavenly Parents. Heavenly Mother was chosen to be the Holy Ghost to our children in mortality, and to give them personal comfort, enlightenment, a spiritual witness, and direct revelation. I would be the one to whom they would pray, in the name of Jesus Christ. There would be some of our children that I, the Father, would reveal certain revelations in addition to Heavenly Mother as the Holy Ghost or Jesus Christ, as the Great Redeemer and God of the earth.

Finally, your Heavenly Mother and I choose to give certain revelations to our children through our called angels. You were the one that I ordained to transmit our messages or to act on earth as we desired, to our righteous children. Besides you, there were other angels we would send like you, but these were not ordained specifically as ones to send our messages. They were to be used as our heavenly servants, with our powers as we desired, by any of us three Gods."

I have had all of my questions about the elect answered by Heavenly Father! I feel so blessed that he gave me such clear answers. I pray that you who read this will ask of him, your Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, whether you are also an elect person, chosen by God to move forward into the coming millennial world. Be prepared to receive a spiritual confirmation from the Holy Ghost, depending on your sincerity and willingness to do as you are prompted. God bless you in your journey!

August 10-11, 2025

In church today one of the brother spoke on this scripture:

Alma 12:10
"And therefore, he that will harden his heart, the same receiveth the lesser portion of the word; and he that will not harden his heart, to him is given the greater portion of the word, until it is given unto him to know the mysteries of God until he know them in full."

I was impressed by the Spirit to record this scripture at that time, and to ponder it later in the evening.

This scripture speaks exactly what divides the elect (the wheat) and from the non-elect (the tares)(see Matthew 13:24-30, D&C 86:1-7, D&C 101:65-66). It divides the wise virgins (the elect) from the foolish (the non-elect) (see Matthew 25:1-13, D&C 45:56-59).

Here is the difference in the elect from the non-elect: the elect harden not their heart (D&C 29:7), and are given the greater portion of the word, even the revelations from God, and his mysteries, until they know them in full. These revelations are in large abundance in the Book of Raphael. The non-elect harden their hearts, and receive the lesser portion of the word (the Bible, and modern-day scripture). They do not search the scriptures, ponder them, or set aside time in their busy lives for God in prayer or thinking of the things of God. The non-elect are swayed by the carnal man, whereas the elect seek to become more and more Christ-like. They actively seek to serve and love their fellowman.

Today, the next morning, I had the impression to read the verses before and after. I was likewise impressed by what Alma said to Zeezrom. Here is Alma 12:9-11:

"9 And now Alma began to expound these things unto him, saying: It is given unto many to know the mysteries of God; nevertheless they are laid under a strict command that they shall not impart only according to the portion of his word which he doth grant unto the children of men, according to the heed and diligence which they give unto him.

10 And therefore, he that will harden his heart, the same receiveth the lesser portion of the word; and he that will not harden his heart, to him is given the greater portion of the word, until it is given unto him to know the mysteries of God until he know them in full.

11 And they that will harden their hearts, to them is given the lesser portion of the word until they know nothing concerning his mysteries; and then they are taken captive by the devil, and led by his will down to destruction. Now this is what is meant by the chains of hell."

In our class at church yesterday, the teacher asked what were the mysteries of God. I raised my hand and said that the mysteries of God meant the hidden greatness of God that the world doesn't know, and that we are children of a Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother. The mysteries relate to everything about them and how they live and operate, and what their great plans are for us, their beloved children. This teacher later told me that this comment really brought the Spirit, and made it so others were willing to share.

In verse 9 above, Alma speaks of these mysteries of of God. I feel that I have received knowledge of so many of these mysteries in the past, for now over twelve years, ever since I beheld Heavenly Mother in the energy class I was attending. My mind has been opened to the grandeur of God, who they are, and what are their purposes. I have come to know them personally, to hear daily their voices, and to inquire of them frequently. I have found that they are full of love and light, and freely share with me. They have asked me to impart their words in writing, in a book called the Book of Raphael. I have strictly followed all that they have asked me to do with their great revelations and mysteries, which are many. I feel that I have given "heed and diligence" to God, and they have rewarded me with such great knowledge.

Oh, I love the words of God that they speak to me! They are delicious to me! I have found that the word of God to me has been a true seed, that has grown and began to swell within me, and to enlarge my soul and to enlighten my understanding (see Alma 32:28).

I only want to do whatever my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother wish me to do. I am completely full of the desire to keep their commandments, and to be sensitive to the promptings of the Holy Ghost and to their direct words to my heart and mind. I feel full of light, peace and happiness. They have poured out upon me their great love for those around me. They have changed my perspective and my life completely! Oh, how I love them!

At this time Heavenly Mother came in front of me, with Heavenly Father by her side, a little behind her. I was on my knees before them both, in their celestial realms. She was smiling very broadly and was shining so brightly. Here are the words she spoke:

"Raphael, our son, we love you, and are so pleased with your daily efforts to come to us, your Heavenly Parents with such diligence and persistence! We have filled you with our love and our abundant light! We have poured out upon you our great mysteries, and asked you to write them in your ever growing Book of Raphael. Like Nephi of old, your soul "delighteth in the things of the Lord; and (your) heart pondereth continually upon the things which (you) have seen and heard. . . And upon the wings of (our) Spirit hath (your) body been carried away upon exceedingly high mountains. And (your) eyes have beheld great things" (2 Nephi 4:16 and 4:25). However, Raphael, it is now time for us to reveal these great mysteries to our faithful elect, and unlike Nephi, you are commanded to write all that we have shown to you.

Our plan is now to gather our elect who will not harden their hearts, but yield themselves to our gentle and soft promptings. We love these, our choice children, and will reward them with a beautiful world of peace, happiness, and increased light and abundant love, even in Zion. They too may experience all that you have received, as they too press forward with diligence and faith. They too will be rewarded with eternal life and exaltation in our kingdom!

2 Nephi 31:20
"Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life."

The steady action of our elect, in pressing forth daily to get to know us, studying our words, and in keeping our commandments we give them personally by our gentle whisperings, will give us assurance that we may share more abundantly with them. It is to these wonderful souls that we will lead them, line upon line, here a little and there a little (Isaiah 28:10), even until they shall know our mysteries in full."

Heavenly Mother then stepped forth, and brought me upright from my knees and fully embraced me! She then held my head between her hands, and kissed me on my lips, just as a very loving mother would do to her child. I felt enveloped in her light and love, even that I felt I was one with her, and couldn't distinguish between her and me!

When she stepped back from me, I saw that I was shining brightly with the same light that she shone with! I felt even transparent, full of brightness and glory. This was all from her, and not because of any merit I exhibited except for my diligence and desire to be near her and Heavenly Father.

My vision then faded and I was left to myself in my bedroom, sitting on my recliner, and typing this amazing experience on my computer. I felt deeply grateful for this heavenly vision, and humbly thanked my Heavenly Mother for coming to me this morning. I expressed great appreciation for her love, embrace and tender kiss.

-----------
Later in the afternoon:
While thumbing through my Triple Combination (containing the Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and Pearl of Great Price), I looked up in its index under the name "Election, Elect". I read all of the scripture references and was impressed with what I read. I decided to write some conclusions about the elect from these scriptures I read:

1. The elect will be gathered to one place, even Zion, the New Jerusalem, prior to the second coming of Jesus Christ.

D&C 29:7-11
"And ye are called to bring to pass the gathering of mine elect; for mine elect hear my voice and harden not their hearts;

Wherefore the decree hath gone forth from the Father that they shall be gathered in unto one place upon the face of this land, to prepare their hearts and be prepared in all things against the day when tribulation and desolation are sent forth upon the wicked.

For the hour is nigh and the day soon at hand when the earth is ripe; and all the proud and they that do wickedly shall be as stubble; and I will burn them up, saith the Lord of Hosts, that wickedness shall not be upon the earth;

For the hour is nigh, and that which was spoken by mine apostles must be fulfilled; for as they spoke so shall it come to pass;

For I will reveal myself from heaven with power and great glory, with all the hosts thereof, and dwell in righteousness with men on earth a thousand years, and the wicked shall not stand."

-----------

D&C 33:6
"And even so will I gather mine elect from the four quarters of the earth, even as many as will believe in me, and hearken unto my voice."

-----------

D&C 35:21
"For they will hear my voice, and shall see me, and shall not be asleep, and shall abide the day of my coming; for they shall be purified, even as I am pure."

-----------

Moses 7:62-64
"And righteousness will I send down out of heaven; and truth will I send forth out of the earth, to bear testimony of mine Only Begotten; his resurrection from the dead; yea, and also the resurrection of all men; and righteousness and truth will I cause to sweep the earth as with a flood, to gather out mine elect from the four quarters of the earth, unto a place which I shall prepare, an Holy City, that my people may gird up their loins, and be looking forth for the time of my coming; for there shall be my tabernacle, and it shall be called Zion, a New Jerusalem.

And the Lord said unto Enoch: Then shalt thou and all thy city meet them there, and we will receive them into our bosom, and they shall see us; and we will fall upon their necks, and they shall fall upon our necks, and we will kiss each other;

And there shall be mine abode, and it shall be Zion, which shall come forth out of all the creations which I have made; and for the space of a thousand years the earth shall rest."

-----------

Joseph Smith Matthew 1:27
"And now I show unto you a parable. Behold, wheresoever the carcass is, there will the eagles be gathered together; so likewise shall mine elect be gathered from the four quarters of the earth."

-----------

2. The remainder of the elect that have not been gathered will at the second coming be finally gathered in as well.

Joseph Smith Matthew 1:37
"And whoso treasureth up my word, shall not be deceived, for the Son of Man shall come, and he shall send his angels before him with the great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together the remainder of his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other."

3. False prophets and false Christs will attempt to deceive the elect.

Joseph Smith Matthew 1:22
"For in those days there shall also arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders, insomuch, that, if possible, they shall deceive the very elect, who are the elect according to the covenant."

4. Those who magnify the Aaronic and Melchizedek Priesthoods become the elect of God.

D&C 84:33-34
"For whoso is faithful unto the obtaining these two priesthoods of which I have spoken, and the magnifying their calling, are sanctified by the Spirit unto the renewing of their bodies.

They become the sons of Moses and of Aaron and the seed of Abraham, and the church and kingdom, and the elect of God."

August 13, 2025

This morning I prayed to receive revelation and direction from my Heavenly Parents. I asked that they come next to me, and guide me in my morning scripture study. As I asked where I should study, my eyes soon fell upon this scripture:

D&C 76:5-10
"For thus saith the Lord—I, the Lord, am merciful and gracious unto those who fear me, and delight to honor those who serve me in righteousness and in truth unto the end.

Great shall be their reward and eternal shall be their glory.

And to them will I reveal all mysteries, yea, all the hidden mysteries of my kingdom from days of old, and for ages to come, will I make known unto them the good pleasure of my will concerning all things pertaining to my kingdom.

Yea, even the wonders of eternity shall they know, and things to come will I show them, even the things of many generations.

And their wisdom shall be great, and their understanding reach to heaven; and before them the wisdom of the wise shall perish, and the understanding of the prudent shall come to naught.

For by my Spirit will I enlighten them, and by my power will I make known unto them the secrets of my will—yea, even those things which eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor yet entered into the heart of man."

I confirmed that this is what my Heavenly Father wished me to ponder. I immediately thought of my own path, that this scripture has been brought to pass in my life so far. God truly has rewarded me with knowledge of his mysteries, even hidden mysteries. I can confirm that to me, my Heavenly Parents are eager to reveal more and more, as fast as I am able to receive. I know it is also their good pleasure to continue to reveal more and more about their great works and their kingdom. These truly are the wonders of eternity!

I next started reading all that I had written in my Book of Raphael, as notes under D&C 76:5-10.

As I read, I was very impressed with what Heavenly Mother spoke to me in 130E13-130E19, and felt I should copy it here in my journal:

"Heavenly Mother spoke again: 'Raphael, we honor the agency of our children, and will enlighten them as much as they themselves are willing to receive. Our elect have a desire to be open and receptive to us and to receive of our light. They love this light we send to them and feel most comfortable in our light. This is such a blessing and assurance to them in their earthly life, whether they live in mortality or in the spirit world on the earth.

We entirely take our cues from our children on how close they desire to be to us. If they humbly approach us, we will tenderly lead them, step by step, even until we reveal ourselves directly to them as you see me before you this morning. We are eager to reveal to each one the secrets of our will, our mysteries of the heavens, and all things, in time. As they exercise faith in us, and make time for us, we will reveal ourselves more and more to them. This is all determined by them and their desires to connect with us. We always desire to connect and love them, but if they don't ask of us, and make time for us, we will not foist ourselves upon them.'

I thanked my loving Heavenly Mother, who stood in front of me, for her words. We were able to freely communicate with each other so very wonderfully! I felt so open and receptive to her feelings and thoughts.

'Raphael, your Father and I honor the agency of each of our children. We might send to a certain child more light, coupled with our love and acceptance of them, but if they are not receptive, we will not press our will or our light on them. They each may choose whom they list to obey.

Alma 3:27

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

We who are your Gods delight to bless those who make room for us. We find great joy in revealing to each one who comes to us in the openness of heart, all our mysteries and our will for them."

I then prayed to my Heavenly Parents whom I knew were in front of me, in the highest celestial realm. Heavenly Father then reached down to me with his arm, and took me by my hand with his. The next thing I knew was that I was kneeling before Heavenly Father, with Heavenly Mother on his right side! They were bright and smiling, and surrounded by a beautiful celestial world, like in a mountain setting with wildflowers, rocks and trees. It was all so beautiful! I also knew that I was seeing all of this in my unconscious mind, but still very real. I was all the time typing on my computer in my recliner chair, in the private room where I studied alone. I had been replicated in my physical body before them.

Heavenly Father then spoke:
"Raphael, I have brought you into our highest celestial realm. We were before you when we directed you to D&C 76:5-10, but you couldn't see us. You had prayed that we both would be with you in your scripture study this morning, and that we would direct you as we desired."

It is our will that your journal entry section of your Book of Raphael contains our revelations of how our beloved elect children should seek us, and how we respond. If they are more diligent in approaching us, we will be give them more. If they don't value our revelations much, we will not reveal any more–it is all based on their efforts and how much they press forward to receive our word.

You have recently asked of us how you may improve the Book of Raphael. We are guiding you in this regard, and are pleased that you are so responsive to our gentle and subtle promptings. There are still mistakes in your record, but not very many. You are a mortal man, and therefore some small errors are in your record. These we will eventually all correct, even as we will, but they are not significant. Your record contains a great many of our Godly mysteries, never before revealed to man, and never before written to be shared to our choice children, even as you have done!

As you continue to approach us daily, as you have done for most of your life, humbly and openly seeking our counsels and revelations, we will continue to abundantly pour out upon you more and more! There is no end to our greatness and revelations, and man on the earth cannot know all. However, your record is far beyond all other revealed compilations of our mysteries than any other record so far. If our elect will seek to learn what we have revealed to you, by their continued effort in studying what we have revealed to you in the Book of Raphael, we will also share with them similar revelations that are very great. We will withhold nothing from them, as fast as they pursue the truth from us, and what our will is for them personally."

I gazed up to my Heavenly Father, and tried to memorize this moment before him! I then looked over to Heavenly Mother too, and was so happy to be in their glorious presence. I then thanked both of them for their abundant directions and revelations to me, today and in the past. I said I wanted to become the man that they wanted me to be, and to be their humble servant. I asked for protection and continued guidance in my life, and peace and joy in my earthly family which whom I lived.

They both were smiling on me, in answer to my comments. Heavenly Mother then whispered to me in my mind: "Raphael, we will always be with you, and will continue to guide you with our revelations. You will have joy and peace in your life, and eternal life in the world to come!"

They then faded away from my view, and I found myself fully in my recliner writing all of this. I confirmed in my heart and mind, by asking them, if all of this vision was true. I received the Spirit, with this understanding and assurance that all of this was true and of God. I am filled with God's love and the very strong assurance that all that I wrote is from them and not me.

August 14, 2025

This morning I came to study the following verses in scripture:

Abraham 5:18
"Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife, and they shall be one flesh."

Moses 3:24
"Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife; and they shall be one flesh."

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

Matthew 19:3-6
"The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?

And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,

And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?

Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder."

D&C 42:22-26
"Thou shalt love thy wife with all thy heart, and shalt cleave unto her and none else.

And he that looketh upon a woman to lust after her shall deny the faith, and shall not have the Spirit; and if he repents not he shall be cast out.

Thou shalt not commit adultery; and he that committeth adultery, and repenteth not, shall be cast out.

But he that has committed adultery and repents with all his heart, and forsaketh it, and doeth it no more, thou shalt forgive;

But if he doeth it again, he shall not be forgiven, but shall be cast out."

Mark 10:2-12
"And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him.

And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you?

And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away.

And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept.

But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.

For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;

And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.

What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter.

And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.

And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery."

Ephesians 5:25,28,31,33
"25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;

28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.

31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.

33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband."

Moses 5:3
"And from that time forth, the sons and daughters of Adam began to divide two and two in the land, and to till the land, and to tend flocks, and they also begat sons and daughters."

-----------

I have seen a shift in society, with parents of older children trying to make space for their children with their new spouses in their home or on their property. In one family I know, the son just barely returned home from his mission, and hasn't the wherewithal to support himself, let alone his wife, a new living place, and the needs of their daily living.

In our neighborhood, we have two families whose parents of grown children have made or are making room for their recently married child and spouse in their own house, or attached structure. I doubt if these grown children are being charged rent, and highly doubt if they are charged an equivalent rent of a similar place in the community. The newlyweds are going to school, and living, in a large way, off of their parents for housing and more. To me this has seemed not right, since I had thought the scriptures above specifically state that "a man (is to) leave his father and mother, and (to) cleave to his wife." It is not really leaving parents and cleaving to each other, when they are under mom and dad's roof!

I sometimes wondered how my wife and I did it as a young couple. I worked 20 hours a week on the university campus, our only income, and I went to graduate school, and my wife was in her senior year at the same school. She birthed our first child that year, and then we moved out into the work place. From day one we were far away from family (not at all easy). It was financially very difficult too during that first year, on a student's wages, without going into debt at all, but we made it. We truly cleaved to each other. This greatly solidified our marriage relationship.

Back in pioneer times, if a young man couldn't build his own cabin for his wife and himself, he was't ready to get married. He needed to be able to fully provide for his bride, and upcoming family. It was a very awesome task, but one he had been trained in all of his life. The woman was also usually very well-trained, especially on the frontier where she had to make her cabin a home, cook the meals, wash the clothes, and keep things orderly and somewhat clean, in addition to pregnancy and childbirth demands. These all were very full-time labors, both for the husband and wife. They depended fully on each other, which also helped them cleave to each other.

Nowadays, often these skills are very lacking due to lack of training, and there is sometimes great difficulty for a young couple to branch out on their own, leaving father and mother, and becoming one flesh.

My first question about so many modern-day marriages, where they live with parents for some time under their same roof or on their same property, is this: Do the scriptures I quoted above still apply to the young married couples? Should they live with one of their parents? Or should they separate and find their own dwelling, apart from either set of parents?

My second question relates to having children right away, once a couple is married.

When my wife and I were married, President Spencer W. Kimball wrote a First Presidency Message in the Ensign magazine, February 1975, entitled "The Marriage Decision". He was our revered president and prophet at that day. We read and pondered his words, and took to heart what he said, and even underlined the following quote in our personal magazine copy:

"After marriage young wives should be occupied in bearing and rearing children. I know of no scriptures or authorities which authorize young wives to delay their families or to go to work to put their husbands through college. Young married couples can make their way and reach their educational heights, if they are determined.

Our young people should realize, as quoted from President J. Reuben Clark, Jr.:

“There is some belief, too much I fear, that sex desire is planted in us solely for the pleasures of full gratification; that the begetting of children is only an unfortunate incident. The direct opposite is the fact. Sex desire was planted in us in order to be sure that bodies would be begotten to house the spirits; the pleasures of gratification of the desire is an incident, not the primary purpose of the desire.” And then he says further:

“As to sex in marriage, the necessary treatise on that for Latter-day Saints can be written in two sentences: Remember the prime purpose of sex desire is to beget children. Sex gratification must be had at that hazard. You husbands: be kind and considerate of your wives. They are not your property; they are not mere conveniences; they are your partners for time and eternity.” (Conference Report, General Priesthood Conference, October 1949, pp. 194–195.)"

I then humbly prayed to my Heavenly Father for guidance on this subject, and to hopefully answer both of my question above. He then came by my left side, standing in the air next to me. He expressed a desire that I write his words:

"Raphael, I have led you to ponder the scriptures and writings that you have written above. You have discussed this topic with your wife recently, and have wondered what I would say. I have come to confirm that what the scriptures above declare is still valid in your modern society, among all flesh. It will be valid also in the millennial day, when the world elevates from a telestial to a terrestrial mortal sphere.

Your Heavenly Mother and I have ordained marriage between a man and a woman from the beginning. This is a commitment to honor and respect each other in love and unity, and to raise a family. We have planned that both the husband and the wife compliment each other in establishing a family unit and rearing childen, each doing all they can to promote the whole. For the righteous, marriage has always been a solemn vow and covenant to be true and faithful to each other. There should be no sexual relations outside of marriage, including continual thoughts of doing so, even as spoken by my Beloved Son, Jesus Christ. If the couple seeks us in prayer, and are both open, we will lead them to be able to make their marriage permanent in eternity, through the eternal ordinances in the Church of the Firstborn.

President Spencer W. Kimball's portion of the article entitled "The Marriage Decision" that you quoted above was inspired by Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost, and is still valid before us and reflects our views. We wish young couples to actively seek having children, as they are able, and consult between themselves and us, their Gods. If they are ready for marriage, they need to also be ready for children.

The couple needs also to have a separation from both of their fathers and mothers, so that they become more and more dependent on each other. It is not pleasing to me when a married couple lives under the same roof as one of their parents. Our plan is that they leave their parent's home and live life on their own. If they are ready for marriage, they should also be ready for independence and living apart in their own dwelling where they are responsible. The burden of sustaining financially their new household falls primarily on the man, even with any pressing desires that he gain an education to qualify him for higher paying employment. The couple should not delay having children for the needs of school or improvement of their financial situation. We will bless the husbands who both work and attend schooling or gain training to improve their lives. We are pleased when our married daughters face the challenges of pregnancy, raising children, and creating a loving home for their husband and family. We will send down blessings and our Spirit upon such couples who strive to create such a holy place on the earth!

It is good that a married couple continue a warm relationship with parents of both spouses, but they should cleave to each other and to non else. Their parents need to give them space for this to happen, and be careful to not advise them on how they should live their lives. The parent's love and full acceptance are very important, even though there might be differences in values and religious views. The married couple are now both responsible adults, and accountable to us, their Heavenly Parents. If they ask for advice from their earthly parents, it may be given, but those parents should not direct them in any of their decisions. The couple should be allowed to make mistakes and to learn to depend on each other, and to no longer directly depend upon their parents.

We are pleased when a married couple works through problems together, without one spouse lording over the other. The marriage relationship is meant to be a beautiful experience, with each spouse respecting and honoring the other and their views. We are happy when they pray to me, together and apart, in the name of Jesus Christ, and seek for our direction and guidance. We will surely pour out blessings upon them, and help them solve or cope with any difficulty that may come."

I felt so grateful to have received this revelation on marriage from my Heavenly Father! I told him so, and was filled with the warmth of his Spirit. I closed my grateful prayer in the name of Jesus Christ.

When I inquired this morning about what I should read and ponder, my mind came to focus on 2 Nephi 32:9:
"But behold, I say unto you that ye must pray always, and not faint; that ye must not perform any thing unto the Lord save in the first place ye shall pray unto the Father in the name of Christ, that he will consecrate thy performance unto thee, that thy performance may be for the welfare of thy soul."

Before I chose this, I had no idea what scripture I would end up thinking about. I felt truly guided by my Heavenly Father in its selection.

I have thought about this scripture throughout my life and with my wife and family. My wife and I have personally and together included asking our Gods in our prayers over large and small decisions in our lives. I have asked for guidance directly from my Heavenly Father, Heavenly Mother, or Jesus Christ in my activities, large and small. Sometimes when I have felt anxious about what I personally was about to do, or planning on doing, I have specifically asked for God to consecrate my performance for his purposes and for the welfare of my soul. I then have moved forward in faith that this request would be fulfilled.

I then looked up in the Book of Raphael and I hadn't highlighted this scripture, nor previously added any comment to it. I immediately added this scripture to my Book of Mormon reference section.

I next addressed my Heavenly Father in prayer. I asked if he wanted to reveal to me why he chose this scripture for me to read and ponder, or to reveal anything else.

He then immediately gave me the gentle nudge, which is the way I often receive direction from him, that he would like me to write his words as he speaks them to me in my heart and mind. Here are his words:

"Raphael, your Heavenly Mother, Jesus Christ and I, want our obedient children to hear our promptings, even if they are subtle and gentle nudges. This is our way of making our righteous elect sensitive to our voice, our still, small voice, even when they dwell in the midst of a lower telestial or terrestrial realm. If they quiet themselves down, and enter a meditative and prayerful state, we are much more likely to reach them with such soft responses. This is pleasing to us, for these spiritual sensitivities are very important for them to develop and regularly hear. This sensitivity enhances ones faith to action, for they will be accustomed to these quiet promptings when we give them important direction in their future lives.

We are glad that Nephi wrote in 2 Nephi 32:9 for the followers of God to pray to me, the Father of them all, in the name of Jesus Christ, to consecrate their proposed actions to the welfare of their souls. This is what we will do, when our children pray to us for such a blessing! We will also help our elect to see more clearly the consequences of their planned intentions and actions. If there is something we might wish to show them that they might want to change, or to know about with their intentions, we will then prompt them, according to our timing, for they first asked us. Without involving us in their lives by directly asking, in the daily decisions and actions of life, we generally will not give such promptings.

It is best for our elect to ask of us to guide all of their future plans and decisions, even from the start when they are thinking about such things. This gives us time to work with them, and to truly be counselors in their actions. We may then map out a course for them to fulfill their plans in a good way. We plan in this way to guide our elect who come humbly unto us, and seek to know our will. We will give them direction and careful guidance, but they need to keep asking and seeking our help. It is in this way that we will lead our humble elect who pray to us, step by step, on how we will open up the way for them to come to Zion, among their own type of people. We will give them the promptings by both the strong impressions of the Holy Ghost, and by the gentle promptings which are more subtle and quiet."

I felt the gentle assurance from God that I had again heard his voice, and written his words! This fills me with deep satisfaction and happiness. I feel my Father is by my side always, even in this troubled world of ours. I know too that such may be the case for each of his humble elect who ask for specific blessings. He, Heavenly Mother and Jesus Christ are so eager to help each one of us as we sincerely ask anything of them.

Matthew 7:7-8
"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

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