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!

March 16, 2025
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!

March 17, 2025
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!

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 5:24
"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.

__________________________________________

March 21, 2025
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 interpretted 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 knew 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: 'Rapahel, 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 Niriru 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.
