January 2-4, 2026

I had time this early morning to pray and ask my Father where he wanted me to study in the scriptures today. I asked again if this was a pleasing way to commune with him, and to have him or Heavenly Mother direct what they wanted to have as the content of my Book of Raphael current journal. I felt strongly that Heavenly Father was pleased with what I have been doing, to ask of them what they wanted me to study from the scriptures. I always look in my Book of Raphael what my Gods have already spoken to me about the passage of scripture that they have led me to study. I then ponder these words, and seek to receive more revelation from God. In all of this, I try to be very open, humble, full of faith, and then the revelation comes from them to me. Once they speak and I write their words, I always seek for the confirmation of the Spirit that what I wrote is pleasing to them, and from them, not from me.

This morning I was directed to study Joseph Smith Matthew 1:10-11, found in the Pearl of Great Price:

"And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold;

But he that remaineth steadfast and is not overcome, the same shall be saved."

According to the header of this chapter, this scripture is "an extract from the translation of the Bible as revealed to Joseph Smith the Prophet in 1831: Matthew 23:39 and chapter 24." I found out further from an Artifical Intelligence (AI) search I did that these verses were originally in the Joseph Smith Translation, but in 1979, the LDS Church published a new edition of the Bible that included hundreds of JST footnotes and a 17-page appendix for longer excerpts. However, they kept Joseph Smith—Matthew in the Pearl of Great Price because it had already been a "Standard Work" (canonized scripture) for nearly a century. Moving it would have disrupted its status as an independent book of scripture that members were already accustomed to studying.

Also, I found this interesting tidbit from my Grok AI inquiry this morning:
"The Pearl of Great Price was originally compiled in 1851 by Apostle Franklin D. Richards as a missionary pamphlet for the British Saints, who had limited access to Church publications at the time. It gathered various revelations, translations, and writings by Joseph Smith that were seen as essential for instruction, inspiration, and defending the faith, including extracts from his Bible translation work. Richards included the revised version of Matthew 24—now called Joseph Smith—Matthew—because it represented a significant restoration of plain and precious truths, clarifying Jesus Christ's prophecies about the destruction of Jerusalem, the scattering of the Jews, the great apostasy, signs of the Second Coming, and preparations for the end times. The King James Version of Matthew 24 is often confusing in its organization and wording, mixing events from different time periods, whereas Joseph Smith's inspired changes separate these prophecies clearly, making them more understandable and doctrinally valuable.

This portion was extracted and placed in the Pearl of Great Price (which was later canonized in 1880) rather than left solely within the broader Joseph Smith Translation manuscripts, as the full JST was not published by the Church during Joseph Smith's lifetime or for many years afterward—it remained unpublished and in the possession of others outside the main body of the Church. By elevating key sections like this one (along with the Book of Moses from Genesis) into a separate volume of scripture, Church leaders ensured these restored teachings were preserved, accessible, and integrated into the standard works for study and use by the Saints, rather than limited to footnotes or an incomplete Bible revision project."

I hadn't recorded anything under this scripture in my Book of Raphael, so I added it in my record under Joseph Smith Matthew 1:10-11.

I then inquired of my Father in Heaven, to enlighten my mind why he wanted me to ponder this scripture. He then came before me, and spoke these words to my mind:

"Raphael, the telestial world that live in is increasingly being marked by those who lack the love of God. This is a direct result of sin and iniquity in their personal lives. Yesterday you discussed with your wife the increasing difficulty you have been experiencing with businesses who should have been very customer friendly to act suspicious and unbending to your simple and honest requests. We who are your Gods also see this shift in our children living on the earth. There is so much focus on self preservation, that more and more of our children are becoming more hostile in their relationships and interactions with others. We see that this is directly connected to the amount of sin they harbor in their personal lives.

The words of Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son, are being fulfilled in your day that "because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold" (Joseph Smith Matthew 1:10). Unfortunately, this behavior will only increase on your telestial earth until the second coming of Jesus Christ.

Among our elect, however, who are humble and open, we will have success in softening their hearts in love towards their fellowman. This love of God is a direct blessing from us to our children. Many harden their hearts and will not act in love and consideration of others. This practice of many, to think more and more of their own needs, and not that of the others around them, is becoming more prevalent in your society, in all the interactions of our children. Satan is having more success in twisting the minds of our children to accept the sins of the world in their own lives, thereby cutting them off more fully from our influence.

The remedy to all of this turning inward, sin, and loving less, is to turn outward in acceptance and love towards those around them. As our children do this, and start reaching outward with a smile and love in serving selflessly others in their needs, we will pour out upon them the love of God. The act of serving another soon results in us giving more of our peace and increased love towards all involved, both to those who reach out and to those being uplifted.

Our children need to actively counter the withdrawal of the love of God in their society by specifically seeking to be filled with our love, and acting in ways that bring the love of God into their lives. This is proactive behavior of our disciples translates to them not idly sitting around while the world languishes for the lack of love. Instead they are steadfast in their efforts to act in love. They "press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men" (2 Nephi 31:20). When we observe their efforts, we will more abundantly endow them with the love of God in their lives. They will then press forward more in showing this increased love of God in their personal lives towards those around them.

Our prophet Mormon lived in a day of great selfishness and sin, where the love of God was quickly leaving the people because of their sins. This ultimately resulted in the destruction of all the people of the Nephites in his land. In these increasingly difficult times, this is what his son Moroni wrote from one of Mormon's previous sermons that he had taught the people of the church (my words as a commentary are given in parenthesis):

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.

(These synonyms of the love of God included in this verse help define what love really is. Love requires patience and long-suffering. When one acts in love, they see with an eye of hope the betterment of the person they are serving. They are persistent in their efforts, even if the one they are loving and serving is not at first open or somewhat hardened. By persistent effort, in patience and long suffering, the recipient usually cannot resist their abundant outreach in acceptance and love.

Love requires kindness and gentleness. Love requires taking time, accepting without rushing around or with time constraints. Love means waiting for the miracle of love to work inside the person they are serving and being kind towards.

Love requires no self-centered envy of anything associated with the person being loved, or any thought of gain from the outpouring of the love. Love is acceptance and focus on the individual, and not on anything that might come of personal reward for doing so. Love and acceptance may be always abundant, not requiring any expectation of behavioral change. Love is constant.

Love requires not being puffed up, but acting in humility and lowliness of heart. The love of God may just as easily come from a very poor person with respect to the riches of the world, or one who is very rich. The status of the person showing love is irrevalent as long as they are humble, open, and receptive to the free flow of the spirit of God.

Love requires extending beyond ones own group of friends and acquaintances. Love is not confined to only a circle of friends, but extends to all people. All are children of God, and deserve to be treated equally in love and acceptance. Even the vile sinner should have love extended towards him or her, for they are one of our beloved children who has gone astray. There is always hope and the possibility of change and improvement, and of true repentance.

Love requires not being easily provoked, or showing forth a great deal of forbearance and stamina in continuing to show forth all the attributes of love.

Love requires being a good person, thinking wholesome thoughts and being righteous in daily living, loving the truth and shunning all evil. Love looks beyond the wrongdoing and evil or misguided actions of people, not dismissing justice, but still extending fairness and understanding. Love lets judgment of wrongdoing be given to God or his appointed steward on earth, while still giving acceptance and friendship, which greatly enlarges the individual worth of the soul. If a comment needs to be made about wrongdoing, then follow that admonition with the words found in D&C 121:43–

"Reproving betimes with sharpness, when moved upon by the Holy Ghost; and then showing forth afterwards an increase of love toward him whom thou hast reproved, lest he esteem thee to be his enemy".

Love is very persistent in doing good to the recipient of that love, even to being able to "beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things". With love, great changes are possible in those who receive the love of God. Through those on earth who faithfully love their neighbor, then God is able to work great miracles in the life of the receiver of that love. Through the hands of God's stewards, the power of godliness is manifested. Lives may change, Satan may loose his influence on that person, and Jesus Christ may be able to ransom the sinner and forgive them of all their sins.)

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.

(Without the pure love of Christ, or the pure love of the Father and the Mother, our children cannot be saved in the kingdom of God. Our children need to be changed by being filled with the love of God at some time prior to moving forward in their progression towards eternal life. Once this change of heart comes, there is deep understanding and remarkable peace and assurance that this is the way we Gods looks at our beloved children. Without this love of God, our children cannot hope to become like us, for all who are Gods possess this deep love of God.

Without this charity, our children's other good accomplishments and actions are nothing, for they cannot attain to this highest calling of becoming a God without the love of God. They are stunted in their growth and progress! However, possession of this godly attribute is the assurance that all will be well in their progression towards their eternal life and exaltation. Without it their progression is thwarted and postponed until they gain the love to God. It is akin to blood in a mortal individual that flows through all the body to give that person life. Without the heart pumping the life blood, our child dies. Likewise, without the love of God, or charity, there is no fully deep conversion and progression, for it is the greatest of all. Without the love of God, all other progression fails. However, everything else might fail, but with charity, the greatest of all, all other things will eventually work out and find life and fulfillment.)

Wherefore, my beloved brethren, pray unto the Father with all the energy of heart, that ye may be filled with this love, which he hath bestowed upon all who are true followers of his Son, Jesus Christ; that ye may become the sons of God; that when he shall appear we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is; that we may have this hope; that we may be purified even as he is pure. Amen.

(Raphael, if our children pray to me, in the name of Jesus Christ, my Beloved Son, Heavenly Mother, Jesus Christ or I will reward them at some point with the endowment of charity, the love of God, the greatest gift of all! This great love has always been a gift to our faithful children who press forward in faith, and who pray to me in the energy of their heart. Your Mother and I will always bestow this greatest gift upon the true followers of our Son, Jesus Christ. In so doing our faithful followers receive the love of God, our great gift, and become our true sons and daughters. Once changed to true sons and daughters, they become like us. They then will see us as we are, full of the love of God for all our beloved children. Then when our faithful children rise up in the clouds of heaven during the second coming of Christ, they will behold their loving Redeemer, and love to a degree like he loves. This will qualify them to be like him, for they will see him as he really is, so full of the love of God!

Raphael, this is the hope for every one of our beloved children: to be forgiven, cleansed and purified, and then filled with the love of God. They seek to become like us in gaining our love in their path towards eternal life and exaltation!)""

(end of Heavenly Father's words)

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his remarkable explanation of the love of God, or charity today! Oh, I pray that I will receive more and more of this precious gift, in all of my interactions with God's children!

January 5-6, 2026

Yesterday during the sacrament meeting at church, after making my weekly covenant with my Heavenly Parents, both Heavenly Mother and then Heavenly Father spoke to me about the importance of the love of God. I had finished writing Heavenly Father's revelation yesterday morning before I attended church. This seemed unusual to me for both of them to directly talk to me about how important this great revelation was to them. They each confirmed everything that I had written that Heavenly Father had spoken to me yesterday. I again thanked them for speaking their feelings to me, and for me to have been the recipient of their revelations.

After humbly praying about all of this, I looked at the scriptures, and read Exodus chapters 12 to 14. This is when the passover ordinance was instituted, when the children of Israel left Egypt in haste, just after the firstborn males of all the Egyptians were slain by the Lord. This passage also includes the travel of Israel to the seashore, with the King of Egypt and his armies pursuing them. The sea opened up and the Israelites passed through the sea to the other side. The armies of Pharaoh pursued them, and the Lord caused the sea to cover them so that all the hosts of Egypt were drowned in the waters of the Red Sea.

I then felt that my Heavenly Father wanted to speak to me. He came before me, in the room where I was sitting, and spoke these words:

"Raphael, I have directed you by the Spirit to read from Exodus chapters 12 to 14 this morning. Jesus Christ, my Beloved Son, spoke to Moses and instituted the passover on the night of the departure of Israel from Egypt. He spoke to Moses, their prophet, and led the whole of the children of Israel out of Egypt, out of bondage after 430 years from when they first entered Egypt in the days of Joseph, my servant. Moses led the children of Israel to the borders of the Red Sea. They were pursued by the terrifying armies of Pharaoh with 600 chariots and many foot soldiers and horsemen.

Exodus 14:13-17
"And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.

14 The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.

15 And the Lord said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward:

16 But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.

17 And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them: and I will get me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen."

Two great miracles occurred: first the pillar of the cloud that had led the camp of Israel came between the hosts of Israel and the armies of Pharaoh, and then the sea divided so that Israel could escape across the bottom of the dry sea floor:

Exodus 14:19-22
"19 And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them:

20 And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these: so that the one came not near the other all the night.

21 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.

22 And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left."

Raphael, my Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, who spoke to Moses as Jehovah, the great I AM (see Exodus 3:14), chose you, our servant Raphael as our archangel, to be in the cloud spoken of in Exodus 14:19. You were in the cloud by day and the the cloud by night, which had the appearance of fire, even from the first movement of the cloud between the hosts of Israel and the armies of Pharaoh, until the cloud came across the Red Sea to the other side.

Exodus 14:24-31
"24 And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the Lord looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians,

25 And took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the Lord fighteth for them against the Egyptians.

26 And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.

27 And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the Lord overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.

28 And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them.

29 But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.

30 Thus the Lord saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore.

31 And Israel saw that great work which the Lord did upon the Egyptians: and the people feared the Lord, and believed the Lord, and his servant Moses."

Raphael, you were in the cloud as our angel who divided the Egyptians from the hosts of Israel, and you were the one who troubled the Egyptians. This was all done by our power through you, our archangel. Before and after your presence in the cloud and pillar of fire by night, other angels were assigned to be in the cloud by day and the cloud of fire by night. We wanted you specifically to be the one who helped preserve Israel from the Egyptians in their trek towards the promised land. You were an eye-witness and an important participant on the earth in creating these two great miracles that we did to preserve our people Israel and to destroy their enemies!

Raphael, we knew of your important mission that you would be doing in the last days among our elect, to help gather them from all the earth to the promised land, and ultimately to Zion, the New Jerusalem. As great as the miracles in the days of Moses were, the many more abundant miracles in the last days will be greater and more spectacular! Each of our elect will be guided individually by us, their Gods, and be brought to Zion in the terrestrial realm of the earth. There will be many obstacles for our elect that we will remove by our miracles. We will preserve by our mighty arm these, our elect children, using our matchless power and abundant miracles.

In the day of the millennium, our children will reflect back on these abundant miracles in bringing them and their fathers and mothers to Zion, more than they will reflect back on the miracles in the time of Moses.

Jeremiah 23:7-8
"7 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;

8 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.""

(end of Heavenly Father's words)

I bowed before my Heavenly Father, and thanked him for his revelation to me this morning. I am very humbled to have been told that I was an active participant in the great miracles at the Red Sea in the days of Moses and the children of Israel!

I then knelt in prayer and asked my Heavenly Father if what I had written above was all from him, and not at all from me. After confirming to me by the Holy Ghost the truth of what I has recorded, and that it was truly from him, he then spoke again:

"Raphael, your Heavenly Mother and I chose you to be in the cloud by day and the cloud of fire by night, during the times of these two great miracles at the dividing of the Red Sea. We told our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, to ask you to come into the cloud, which he did. Once you were there, and could see the overall dire situation for Moses and for Israel, we led you by our great power to move the cloud, with you in the cloud, to divide the armies from our chosen people. You kept between the armies and Israel through their journey through the Red Sea, continuing to protect Israel. You continued day and night until the two great miracles were fulfilled.

At multiple times during this experience, you were allowed to replicate yourself and come among both the armies of Pharaoh, and the terrified children of Israel. You saw firsthand the hardening of the hearts of Pharaoh and the Egyptian captains. You saw Moses act in great faith as he was moved upon by the Spirit of the Holy Ghost in dividing the sea and leading our people through on dry ground (see D&C 8:3). You saw the children of Israel pray in desperation to me, and be willing to follow their prophet across the Red Sea on dry ground. You were unseen by all of these, but you were an eyewitness on the ground among the people and also in the cloud.

Refer to this revelation with the other the appearances of Raphael since the days of Adam and Eve that you have recorded in D&C 128:21."

__________________________________________

January 7-8, 2026

This afternoon I was led by the Spirit to study and ponder from the words of Jacob in the Book of Mormon. I hadn't entered this passage into my Book of Raphael, so I did so now. Here is the passage:

2 Nephi 9:53
"And behold how great the covenants of the Lord, and how great his condescensions unto the children of men; and because of his greatness, and his grace and mercy, he has promised unto us that our seed shall not utterly be destroyed, according to the flesh, but that he would preserve them; and in future generations they shall become a righteous branch unto the house of Israel."

I read this passage slowly, believing that my Heavenly Father had inspired me to select this verse to ponder. As I read, I knew that Jacob was talking in this verse about his future posterity, their seed. However, there is a valuable hidden message here too about the seed of the elect who come to Zion in the last days. They too will not utterly be destroyed, according to the flesh. Instead, according to Jacob's words, God will "preserve them, and in future generations they shall become a righteous branch unto the house of Israel."

I felt that the elect of God who are now starting to gather to Zion, the New Jerusalem, will one day arrive at their glorious destination. They will subsequently gather with the other saints of God in the clouds of heaven when Jesus Christ comes in his glory. Soon after they will descend with Jesus to the new terrestrial earth, and those in mortality will be given a land of their inheritance on that terrestrial earth. It is there where they will grow, live, and bear children, expanding further into the terrestrial earth as they require. Their children will also bear children. This increasingly large family, all from their first elect ancestors who came to Zion, will "become a righteous branch unto the house of Israel." (2 Nephi 9:53). This lineage of future generations will not have been cut off from the land of the living (on the telestial earth), and "not utterly (been) destroyed, according to the flesh", for their ancestors will have gathered to Zion from the long ago telestial earth, and were saved temporarily. Those who had remained on the telestial earth, and had not gathered to Zion, will have all been destroyed in the flesh at the time of Christ's coming.

I think too that it is because of the covenants of the Father and Mother, spoken by Jacob, that have been and will be so graciously extended to all of those on the current earth who are chosen as their elect. These covenants for most start with being chosen as the elect of God. This choosing is a covenant. God will stick with these elect as they hear his voice and keep his commandments (see D&C 29:7-9. In verse 8 of this passage it states "Wherefore the decree hath gone forth from the Father that they shall be gathered in unto one place upon the face of this land". I believe there is also more than a decree, but also a covenant made by the Father with his individual elect child whom he and Heavenly Mother have chosen. See also 190F7-190F14 and Isaiah 59:20-21). Then comes a true baptism (whether already entered into or delayed until after Christ's coming, see the words from Heavenly Mother under my journal dated December 10-11, 2025) and of the bestowal of the Holy Ghost in great power (see 1 Nephi 14:14), who will assist them in gathering to Zion, to safe garners. Truly, this is because of "his condescensions unto the children of men; and because of his greatness, and his grace and mercy" (taken also from 2 Nephi 9:53). The covenants of the Lord will expand to the new and everlasting covenant of the Father. This over arching covenant allows God's children to progress into the celestial kingdom and receive everlasting life and exaltation.

At this time, I sought my Heavenly Father in humble and sincere prayer. I wanted to hear from him, if possible, with his great revelations about this scripture.

My Father then came in front of me, and asked me to write his words:

"Raphael, you have done well to choose the scripture that I wished to discuss today. You are correct that Jacob's words may be extended to include the elect of God whom we are carefully guiding to Zion, the New Jerusalem. Your comments above are also inspired of the Holy Ghost, who is your Heavenly Mother, who also is beside me.

Both your Heavenly Mother and I look forward so very much to the millennial day soon at hand, when our elect are all gathered in one in Zion, on the new terrestrial earth! Your telestial world is becoming increasingly evil, with all that has been prophesied about the difficulties of the last day coming to fulfillment soon. Those of our children who will stay behind on the telestial earth will be consumed along with all that is telestial. There will be none of the physical telestial remnants left, except that which may have been changed to a terrestrial state before the intense burning at the second coming of Jesus Christ.

At the time from the descent of our beloved mortal elect from the clouds of heaven with Jesus Christ to the terrestrial earth, until the end of the millennium, our beloved children will be exceedingly happy, prosperous, and generally free with their substance to their neighbors in need. They will multiply exceedingly upon the land, and spread forth upon the entire terrestrial earth.

D&C 45:58
"And the earth shall be given unto them for an inheritance; and they shall multiply and wax strong, and their children shall grow up without sin unto salvation."

Satan will be bound, and the people will become very righteous (Revelation 20:1-3). There will be no strife among the nations, and people will freely travel over all the earth. However, most will be concerned with their own stewardship at home, and raise abundant food and gardens, and expand their God-given gifts in their labor in mortality in their Zion community. The weather will be very agreeable to all, for every climate that exists upon the earth. In every place, the earth will be akin to the Garden of Eden, each with its own eco-system and climate fitted just to it, all in great beauty and wonder of a terrestrial earth. All the workmanship of our children dwelling on the earth will be overseen by us, their Heavenly Parents, with our smiles and Spirit that we will shine forth. Those who inhabit our beautiful earth will be greatly blessed in their mortal lives!

From the beginning, when our children start to inhabit the terrestrial earth, they will eat of terrestrial food and drink living terrestrial water (see 162D8). As their bodies change, many will live to the age of a tree, or to hundreds of years old, similar to the antediluvian inhabitants in the days of Adam and Enoch.

D&C 101:30
"In that day an infant shall not die until he is old; and his life shall be as the age of a tree;"

"The age of a tree is meant to be the age of large oak trees in the great millennium. In this era, these oak trees will live to be an average of nearly to a thousand years old. The trees will flourish and endure to this great age because of the minerals which they will consume." (see my words under Genesis 49:26 for an extensive description of the terrestrial earth, and for this quote dated February 17, 2025 evening).

Also "the age of a tree" means full age of men, that our son or daughter has experienced in living in their youth, teenage transition years, and mature into an adult, and then into a later mature state where their energy wanes, even until a very old age. We wish each to have these broad spectrums of life (see Heavenly Mother's words under D&C 49:18 and 162D9-162D10).

Raphael, the grandeur and magnificence of the new terrestrial earth is the jewel of our creation for our mortal earth! In this time, we will complete the mortal phase of the salvation of our children, for every one will have come to the earth for their second estate. This plan was shown to Abraham, and is given in his record:

Abraham 3:26
"And they who keep their first estate shall be added upon; and they who keep not their first estate shall not have glory in the same kingdom with those who keep their first estate; and they who keep their second estate shall have glory added upon their heads for ever and ever."

The first estate has been nearly completed, which is the premortal test for our children. Those who have chosen Jesus Christ as my Beloved Son, to be their Redeemer, were allowed to come into the second estate of testing and receive a physical body in mortality. Entry into this second estate was only allowed for those who kept their first estate.

The mortal experience on the earth is the second estate. It is more difficult than the first estate, for the choices of our children are based upon their spiritual perceptions and views, and not their mortal views. They are required to choose again by faith, this time without physically seeing or hearing, and to again align themselves behind Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son. They are to follow our Spirit, an action that takes great faith and trust in us, and in our witnesses to them spiritually. When our children keep their second estate, fully proving themselves before us that they are willing to keep all of our commandments in a difficult world without us being present, then they will be chosen by Jesus Christ. He will tell them in an unmistakable way that they are to be received into his Church of the Firstborn. This is our eternal celestial church.

Part of the great redemptive work in millennium is for you, Raphael, to receive these, the humble followers of my Beloved Son whom he has chosen, into the Church of the Firstborn. This is the very most prized and holy action that will be accomplished during the entire first and second estates of our children, and the very most important work in the millennium. By the conclusion of the millennium, all of our chosen celestial children will have been accepted into our Church of the Firstborn, to have their names written in the Book of Life, and to have received all of their binding ordinances in the New Jerusalem Celestial Temple. They will then all be prepared to move forward as one body to the next phases of their eternal progression towards life and exaltation, as couple Gods in eternity! (see 159M7).

We needed a terrestrial mortal phase of the earth in which to have all of these ordinances administered by our ordained angels. The greatness and majesty of the heavenly celestial temple is not at all suited for a telestial world in which Satan and his hosts are present. It requires an elevated terrestrial earth, where the wicked are removed and the powers of heaven freely and continually connect. The celestial area is superimposed upon the very center of the island of the New Jerusalem (see 195H17 and 195I12-195I16). This is where we have had you assemble and construct this celestial temple, as you have recorded in your record (see my seven posts from post 194 through post 200). We have ordained that all of these ordinances administered in the New Jerusalem Temple will endure for eternity (see 201D3), and be allowed for only our very choicest celestial children whom we have chosen after the culmination of their full first and second estates.

Raphael, the exaltation of our beloved children is our greatest joy in this eternity! We anticipate the beautiful day of the millennium when so many, since the days of Adam and Eve (see 200E66-200E74) to the last faithful man and woman on the earth, will receive their eternal unalterable promises and ordinances! These days are soon at hand, and have even begun in the New Jerusalem Celestial Temple.

Your great work will continue six days a week, all year long, for the duration of the thousand years of peace and rest, until all who have been chosen by Jesus Christ will have been admitted into our celestial church and kingdom of heaven. You are the messenger of the covenant, spoken of in Malachi 3:1. Your joy and that of Oriphiel, our trusted record-keeper archangel who works with you, will know no bounds as you administer to these, our celestial children, the waters of separation ordinance and the recording of their names in the Book of Life in the house of God!"

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his very uplifting message today! I feel so humbled, and so honored to have been chosen by him and Heavenly Mother for this singular assignment in the New Jerusalem Celestial Temple. It is hard for me to even fathom the magnitude of this heavenly assignment!

I pray that the reader will question all that I have recorded here and in my Book of Raphael, and seriously study and ponder all that I have written about God's abundant and remarkable revelations. Please humbly and openly ask, in the name of Jesus Christ, if these things are true. I know if you do so, with a sincere heart, with real intent, you will receive the confirmation of these truths by the unmistakable power the Holy Ghost.

January 9-10, 2026

This morning I felt directed to read the following passage of scripture, given to Joseph Smith the Prophet and Sidney Rigdon, at Hiram, Ohio, on February 16, 1832:

D&C 76:114-119
"114 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;

115 Which he commanded us we should not write while we were yet in the Spirit, and are not lawful for man to utter;

116 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;

117 To whom he grants this privilege of seeing and knowing for themselves;

118 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.

119 And to God and the Lamb be glory, and honor, and dominion forever and ever. Amen."

As I have been pondering these verses today, I remember having petitioned my Heavenly Parents to receive a stronger witness of all that I have received, of a more constant witness all the interactions with them, and with all of the mysteries that they have so graciously revealed to me. I believe that these verses are part of a direct answer to my request.

The reason I asked for this is because I live and am fully integrated in a fallen, telestial world, and it is hard to always remember the grandeur of what I have received from God. I am a mortal, living in our telestial world where I am immersed so fully with the demands of living, in all things telestial, and bumping up against evil frequently which is all around me in the darkening world. It takes great effort for me to become elevated again to a higher spiritual level to be able to communicate with God again. It requires lots of time for me to be alone, to come into a meditative state, and to focus on my Heavenly Parents in prayer. God lives in celestial glory, which glory and understanding is "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" (D&C 76:116). Without this privilege of becoming elevated and glimpsing into God's celestial level, I would be entirely clueless what it is like there. Man is not even capable to know anything about the celestial world, without God extending down to us mortal souls by "the power and manifestation of the Spirit, while in the flesh" (D&C 76:118).

I reflected for some time upon my own experiences with the Holy Spirit. These experiences of being enlightened by my Gods always leaves me amazed at how "marvelous the works of the Lord, and the mysteries of his kingdom which he showed unto (me), which surpass all understanding in glory, and in might, and in dominion." (D&C 76:114). These thoughts are all from above, and not from me in this lower realm.

I know for sure that there is no way that I could have invented or created any of the amazing revelations in the Book of Raphael myself. I truly marvel over them! These revelations are from another source and another world, for I have been carried there so many times in the Spirit to behold such glories from this other higher world. After each of these experiences, I am always taken aback with how much I have been enlightened, beyond anything of my own thoughts! I know that these revelations in the Book of Raphael are all from God, and not me. I have continually approached God in a humble and open manner, ready to receive. What I write is entirely what I have received, and not from me.

I then felt to petition my Heavenly Mother in prayer about this passage of scripture in D&C 76:114-119 and of my current thoughts. Almost to my surprise again, she came immediately before me, so that I could view her glorious face in my unconscious mind. I feel and sense again the intense light of her countenance! Being in her presence seems so natural, so much like where I belong. I know she loves me, and loves all of her beloved children. I am so very excited to hear again from my lovely Heavenly Mother!

She asked me to write her words.

"Raphael, your Heavenly Father and I have granted you access to our heavenly realms on a daily basis, as frequently as you petition us. Even though you live and are immersed in your telestial mortal world, you have sought to enter into our celestial presence very frequently. This is possible for you when you are in meditative and focused prayer, acting in faith. Because of your exceeding diligence over the years, and your persistence in carving out time for us in your daily schedule, and because of your very important mission and calling, we now come to you as often as you request our presence. You have pressed forth in faith, and have thereby proven to us your intentions. We have therefore taken up our abode with you, becoming your Beloved Heavenly Parents, your teachers and your guide throughout every day. When you look spiritually to us in your mind, you see us with your spiritual eyes before you.

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 (you behold us with your spiritual eyes):

And thine ears (these are your spiritual ears, for you hear our voice in your mind and heart spiritually, by the enlightenment of our Spirit) shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left." (words in parenthesis from me, your Heavenly Mother).

This great blessing of gradually receiving our presence over time, based on your good works and persistence in coming before us, is available to every one of our children, whether in mortality, in the world of spirits, or as resurrected beings. Your Heavenly Father and I wish to be close like this with every one of our children, if they hear our voice and keep our commandments. We will carefully lead each one along, helping them draw nigh to us as we have helped you. We are no respecter of persons (Romans 2:11).

Raphael, you are correct that our great works and the mysteries of our elevated kingdom are impossible to know for those in the flesh, unless we enlighten them and show them directly.

1 Corinthians 2:9-11,14
"9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

(There is no way for our children in mortality to know of the us and our celestial realm without us showing them. These things do not enter into the heart of any man or woman of themselves, for the veil is very strong that guards from them the secrets of the celestial world where we live. Once man becomes of age to act and think for himself with agency, the veil has covered any recollection of their previous life with us. They are immersed in the fallen world around them, and they fully partake of a mortal experience. This would be void of any enlightenment from us, their Heavenly Parents, unless we reach down to them with our Holy Spirit and connect with them.)

10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

(We Gods, Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ and me, the Holy Ghost who is Heavenly Mother, send forth our Spirit among our children to reveal all things, even the deep things of God, according to the readiness of our children to receive them. Unfortunately, most of our children are so immersed in their mortal life, and desire the things of the flesh, that they do no hear us or even respond to our frequent spiritual promptings. However, our elect hear our voice, and keep our commandments (D&C 29:7-9). These are the ones that we now are working with, to reveal to them by our Spirit "all things, yea, the deep things of God." As they respond and are enlightened, we gradually give more.

Isaiah 28:9-10
"Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts.

For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little".)

11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

(Whatever realm in which our children are immersed in, this is the realm that they know. For those in mortality, because of of the strong veil, they know of no other realm, for they seemingly have forgotten everything. For our children who haven't yet been born as mortal children, they too really don't know of the things of that fallen world, for they haven't experienced it first-hand yet. This is all by our great and grand design for the progression of our children. The things of man (the fallen telestial world in which you live, or the terrestrial world in the millennium) are what our children know. The things of God (our celestial eternal higher world) they have no current knowledge of, except as we reveal this world to them by the Spirit of God.

Raphael, from the beginning of man coming into the fallen world, we have enlightened them by our Spirit of God. We will continue to do so until the last man and woman come to earth. However, many reject our subtle spiritual promptings, for they would rather continue to be immersed fully in their own world, and not make room for us and our Spirit that we so frequently pour out upon them! Others dismiss our promptings as their own thoughts and their own feelings. This is why we delight to honor and serve those who respond to us, and obey our counsels! These are our elect, that we will continue to lead carefully to Zion, to progress as fast and as far as they themselves allow and they themselves receive.)

14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

(The bulk of humanity, our own children who live on the earth, receive not the things of the Spirit of God that we so diligently offer to them. These cannot know of us and our world, for they reject our Spirit. If they then hear them from one who is enlightened by us, they consider their words foolish and of no worth, for they themselves have previously rejected our own subtle spiritual promptings. Even when spoken with our Spirit, by our Spirit-filled servant, they reject their words, "neither can (they) know them, because they are spiritually discerned.")"(words in parenthesis are from me, Heavenly Mother)

Raphael, the passage of scripture that I inspired you to study today in D&C 76:114-119, was an expression of Joseph Smith and Sidney Rigdon after they had been extremely enlightened with our Spirit, and saw into the eternal worlds. They saw the flaming glory of our celestial kingdom, and the inhabitants of that highest realm. These visions had been hidden from all before that time. They were truly overcome and in awe over all that they saw and heard! These two servants were enlightened by my Spirit to behold the things of our worlds. They received and wrote them for all the faithful to study and ponder. What they wrote is true, and from us your Gods.

Raphael, your record, the Book of Raphael, is also from us. In its pages we revealed to you over time, even greater things that Joseph and Sidney saw and recorded, about our creations, the heavens, and how things are in our worlds. There are no bounds to what we have already revealed and will yet reveal to you, for you are the one ordained by us to first receive so many of our hidden mysteries.

D&C 101:32-34
"32 Yea, verily I say unto you, in that day when the Lord shall come, he shall reveal all things—

33 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—

34 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."

Remember what your Heavenly Father spoke to you in January 2018, now over eight years ago in 68A7-68A15:
"We have been gradually tutoring you in the ways of heaven and of the Gods, and gradually sharing with you truths from heaven. We will continue to do so as you come unto us so faithfully. We will do so for every one of our children who come unto us with diligence, with an open heart and mind, and in humility. Change and new direction is what we reveal to our elect, so that they may ultimately become even as we are.

We are pleased when you and the others who have access to your writings are able to review the truths we have shared with you. This is a great part of our revelations, when we reveal all things to the children of men, at the beginning of the millennium."

He then quoted D&C 101:32-34 given above, and then continued:

"During all of the future turmoil that is coming to the earth, we will continue to pour out upon you our revelations, in a continual flow of truth from heaven! Continue to record all of these in your journals on earth. They will also be recorded in heaven. These records will be combined with others we will bring forth to constitute these great revelations we will soon share with the faithful.'

Heavenly Father stopped speaking. He then turned towards heaven above. Another very bright light started descending from the sky above, from the same place he had just come!"

Raphael, it was then that I, your Heavenly Mother, came before you and spoke to you. Here is what you continued to write at that time:

"Soon my Heavenly Mother came before us, in resplendent light and glory! She was magnificently beautiful and shining! She was smiling broadly, and so happy it seemed! She took the left hand of Heavenly Father in her right hand and looked at him lovingly. She then turned to me and spoke:

'Raphael, today is the revealing of my person and power in the world! I will shed forth more and more my love and light to you and the faithful, as you come to us, your Heavenly Parents. It is very appropriate for our children now to call on our names together when they pray. We will gradually reveal ourselves to them, even in mortality, as they humbly come unto us in faith.

Your words you have written and will write over the years will motivate our elect children to persist in coming to us in deep prayer and meditation. Your words will be revealed when we reveal all things in this, in a day called today, in the days of the coming of your Lord, Jesus Christ:

D&C 64:23
"Behold, now it is called today, until the coming of the Son of Man."

D&C 45:6
"Hearken, O ye people of my church, and ye elders listen together, and hear my voice while it is called today, and harden not your hearts."

Today is the day of my revealing, first to you and our holy angels on the earth, and then to the elect who hear our voice and keep our commandments.

Raphael, what we reveal to you will be read and studied by the faithful in a day not far distant. We have yet much to reveal to you, as fast as you are able to receive. Flow with the pace we now share with you, and you will see greater things yet that we will show you.'"

Raphael, my son, what I have spoken eight years ago is what I would again speak today to you. It is time to review our words, that we your Heavenly Parents had spoken to you over eight years ago. You have matured much in your spiritual perceptions and understandings, and now your Book of Raphael is very great, available online, and contains so many of our first revelations that have never been revealed before to man. We will continue to pour out upon you abundant truths, so that our elect will recognize these are truths from us, their Heavenly Parents. They have been taught these same truths in the evening hours to their spirits while their bodies slumbered, so that they would recognize these as our truths (see 171D16, 177H5, and 190F11). I will bear witness to their soul again, by the power of the Holy Ghost, that these revelations are from us and are true. This witness will continue to burn in their hearts and minds, giving them the faith necessary to press on to Zion, our place we have prepared for their safety and peace."

(end of Heavenly Mother's words)

I expressed deep gratitude for my Heavenly Mother's words I received and wrote down. In this process, which spanned over a day because of my active involvement in my mortal life, she was near me and helped me understand what she wanted me to write. I could only write when I was alone, without others of my family around, and when there was a clear connection with her. I have gone over these words several times, each time petitioning her to help me perfect what she wanted to say. Now that I have written what she inspired me to write, I feel her full acceptance of what I have written, by the steady power of the Holy Ghost. When I ask if she is pleased, there is a steady and strong assurance from her Spirit. Oh, I am so grateful to be a conduit of her words!

I also feel personally strengthened in answer to my request to be strengthened in my continual witness of all that I have received, of a more constant witness all the interactions with them, and with all of the mysteries that they have so graciously revealed to me. I am so very thankful for this!

What I realize now is that I can quickly discern when I am in my telestial mindset, and when I am elevated to my celestial mindset. When I switch into a "higher mind", I am full of faith and assurance. When I am in the lower, telestial mind, filled with interacting in the telestial mortal world where I live, I feel less sure, for I am not thinking about these higher, spiritual experiences, but my thoughts are more on the temporal life I am living. It is in this state that my faith is not so sure, for I am thinking telestial things. I like President Russel M. Nelson's talk in 2023 entitled Think Celestial! about this same subject.

However, I can switch very quickly now my mind's focus to this higher celestial realm, and almost instantly receive again all the assurance I need. I feel God's presence, and the Holy Ghost with me continually. I can perceive spiritual beings, particularly my Heavenly Parents, around me, ready to assist me or to answer anything I may ask. I can also recall my abundant experiences I received in the past while being accompanied by God in this celestial realm. In this celestial mindset, I am filled with faith and assurance, knowing that all things are possible to me, if my Heavenly Parent's are in agreement.

My switch of mind to a celestial view, is similar I think to what Stephen, the martyr in the Book of Acts in the Bible experienced. Here is what is written what he said to the high priest and the Sanhedrin council of the Jews:

Acts 7:55-56
"But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up steadfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,

And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God."

I have had many experiences like Stephen's vision, only I almost always have been alone when it happens, except in a few group situations. I have written down all of these marvelous encounters that I have had in the celestial realms of heaven. These are all in my Book of Raphael, available for all to read. I also believe that God will reveal the truth of each one, and even will give a similar experience to what I received to the faithful. God is no respecter of persons (Acts 10:34). Encounters with Jesus and our Heavenly Parents, hidden knowledge and marvelous experiences in the celestial worlds, are all available directly from God to anyone who seeks diligently to also receive a similar experience. They need to ask God in humility, faith and sincerely, and be purified before him (see the words of Joseph Smith on this subject).

__________________________________________

January 11-13, 2026

I sought to study a passage in the scriptures that my Heavenly Parents wanted me to ponder. I was led to a few verses from the Book of John in the New Testament:

John 16:7-8,13-14
"7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you."

I had not written about anything in this chapter in my Book of Raphael, so I added these verses. I did not know why the Holy Ghost could not come when Jesus was among the people. I have always heard that there couldn't be more than one person in the Godhead among the people at a time, but that didn't seem reasonable. I had been multiple times in the presence of all the Godhead, three individuals, on multiple times on earth. I wondered if Jesus said he had to go that the Comforter would come, because by being with the disciples and peoples, they hadn't grown in their spiritual perceptions, for they always could rely on he who was daily present with them in the flesh. Maybe it was time to develop faith and strength in themselves by following the Spirit than always depending upon Jesus.

I believe it was time also for them to learn about the wonderful attributes of the Holy Ghost, like being a comforter and witness of truth. Peter was told previously by Jesus Christ that his Father in Heaven had born witness that he, Jesus, was the Christ (Matthew 16:16-17).

In John 16:8 above, Jesus said that the Holy Ghost would "reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment". I wondered what this meant. Hadn't Jesus Christ already done this among the Jewish leadership? How exactly does the Holy Ghost reprove the world?

I knew one of the roles of the Holy Ghost was to testify as a witness that Jesus Christ was the Messiah, the Son of the Eternal Father (verse 14). Other attributes of the Holy Ghost would be a testifier of truth, to show things to come, and a Comforter.

Jesus refers to the Comforter, the Spirit of Truth, as a male individual by using the male pronoun he (see also my post 127I8). This was the way all the prophets referred to the Holy Ghost until it was revealed to me in 2016 that this was actually our Heavenly Mother, acting in the role of the Holy Ghost (see post 38 The Holy Ghost and these many references that I have gathered about her acting in the role of the Holy Ghost: 124B10-124B15, 117B3, 115H3-115H6, 112G10, 107G29-107G40, 100F6, 98D10-98D12, 97A8-97A11, 85J8-85J11, 74D15-74D17, 66A4-66A5 and 52C13). I was informed that at the beginning of each eternity, our Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother select one of them to be the Holy Ghost for that specific eternity, or choose not to have a Holy Ghost (see 106Q2). For our current eternity, encompassing all the children they bore since Jesus Christ, the Firstborn to the last man and woman, Heavenly Mother is the Holy Ghost. She has power to replicate herself as a spirit while her resurrected body resides hidden from all her children except the Father and the Son (40D14-40D16). I have been privileged to see her both in her resurrected being and in her spirit-only replicated being, which is still how she usually appears to me (see 119H7-119H12 and 40D3-40D8).

Here is an excerpt from what I had written in my post 38B7-38B16, dated 4 December, 2016:
"After I partook of the water, Heavenly Mother spoke to me:

'Raphael, you may wonder why, when you pray to your Father, I usually come with him to you. Sometimes only he comes, and sometimes only I come. We are one, and co-equal in our standing before you as God, as your Heavenly Parents. When one of us speaks, we speak in behalf of both of us. This is as it should be for a married couple who address their child, and that is how it is with us.

For millennia, I have been hidden from the world, awaiting the seventh seal to be opened by our Son, Jesus Christ (see Revelation 8:1). However, I have been ever present in working and interacting with our children, with your Father and our Son. Because of this long time, of remaining hidden from my children, your Father and I have created a plan whereby I would continue to be hidden, and yet ever interacting and involved with my children.

We decided to make my presence known as the Holy Ghost, but to have my identity hidden for all of these years. I have acted in this capacity as a comforter, just like a mother would be to her children. I also witness to the truth of all things, particularly of the Father and the Son. During your conversion, when you were 15 years old, I bore strong witness to you of the truth of the Book of Mormon, and to our Son, being the Son of God in the flesh, and your Redeemer. I have ever been with you during your life.

All of the scriptures talking about the Holy Ghost were talking about me. We chose to have the Holy Ghost be a male personage, but it was all the time me, your Heavenly Mother. We kept this secret to hide my identity and allow me to be so fully involved with my children.

Now is the day of my revealing among my angels! We want this to be still kept in secret from the world, until we will. However, all of our holy angels need to know this truth. They should each verify this in prayer, and by the power of the Holy Ghost, or by my own spirit, will I witness this to their minds and hearts.'

When she ended speaking, I continued pondering her message. I had known this since last May, but had kept it secret as I was told. Now, what a glorious day! I feel overcome that she, our Mother in Heaven, now will be revealed to us in her fullness–as the very person of the Holy Ghost!

This time of year, over two millennia ago, Mary, the mother of Jesus, conceived from the Father by the power of the Holy Ghost. This was really Heavenly Mother conceiving her Son, Jesus Christ, from her husband, the Father! She then, being with child, somehow transferred that seed into her choice daughter Mary. This is now called the immaculate conception. As I write this, I am getting such a strong witness this is true! We are also listening to Handel's Messiah in our home, and the soprano soloist is singing this:

'Come unto Him, all ye that labor, and are heavy laden, and He will give you rest. Take His yoke upon you, and learn of Him; for He is meek and lowly of heart; and ye shall find rest unto your souls.'

Then the music changed to the choir singing, just now:

'His yoke is easy, and His burden is light.'

This is almost the exact, same message from Heavenly Mother, written on the banner raised on Mount Zion a few months ago! On the banner it was written 'Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.' This is a witness from her to me right now I feel–that she has always been the Holy Ghost, and that she conceived of her husband, Heavenly Father, the seed of their only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ! She was intimately involved in bringing forth her Son into this world! By the Godly transfer of this royal seed into Mary from Heavenly Mother, Jesus grew in Mary's womb as the premortal Jehovah. He was born as a babe in Bethlehem.

This Christmas I will have a much deeper understanding of the true way he came into the mortal world, as the Son of God, both from Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother. I feel so full of the witness that this is true, and is meant now to come to the knowledge of their holy angels!

After I finished writing this, my wife asked me how I was doing (I was feeling way emotional!). I confirmed that I could share this about Heavenly Mother being the Holy Ghost. I then shared my entire experience from the sacrament today with her. She received it well, and said that it only made perfect sense."

(end of 38B7-38B16)

Here is another post about the Holy Ghost, 135C8-135C9:
"When I give you of my Spirit, it is called the Holy Ghost. When your Heavenly Father or Jesus give you of their light it is called the Holy Spirit. It is all made up of the light from us, your Gods. We receive this light from our first parent Gods who make it up from elemental matter, and send it out from the center of our universe where they live, to fill the vast immensity of space. When it comes into our galaxy, we Gods receive it and then dispense it to all of our creations.

When I send forth my light of the Holy Ghost, I may concentrate more light in a more intense manner. I have been selected in this eternity as the Holy Ghost, whose role and position it is to act in this way. This is why you often feel the more intense light from my presence, and that my light of the Holy Ghost passes through you and makes you feel very transparent and clear. This experience is also the fullness of the Holy Ghost, a gift we give our very faithful sons and daughters, even according to our will and our desires (see your post 131H11-131H19)".

See also my posts 130F12-130F30 and 128D4.

After writing all of the above, and reading so many of my posts about Heavenly Mother as the Holy Ghost, I prayed directly to my Heavenly Mother. I asked her to add anything that she might want to say. She immediately came before me, standing a little above me in the air, and smiling broadly! Here is what I heard her say to my heart and mind:

"Raphael, my son, you have prepared well for my visit, by spending several days reading many of your posts about me, in my role as the Holy Ghost. I am very pleased that you took your time to review what your Father and I have spoken to you about me being the Holy Ghost!

For those who will read this journal entry, I hope that they too will take the time and read all of those references that you have compiled above. They are all true. They constitute your interaction with us, your Heavenly Parents, when we spoke to you numerous times about this very important subject of the Holy Ghost. There are also many other references over the years in the Book of Raphael that are not listed above, where we have spoken about this.

Today I would like to touch on John 16:7-8,13-14 which I have inspired you to select and ponder. What you have written about this passage today is true, which was inspired by me as you pondered these verses.

In John 16:7 it reads the following:
"Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you."

Jesus Christ recognized that his disciples were too dependent on him for every question they had. They really hadn't thought on their own very much, without checking first with him. With his upcoming departure, he knew they would feel very lost and lonely. This was when they would need to learn to depend upon me, the Holy Ghost, to give them the spiritual guidance that Jesus had previously given while he was with them.

The apostles and members of this early Church of Christ would very much need my constant presence, to guide them and show them all truth. They would be scattered, and preach the gospel throughout the entire world of that time. Being alone, I would be their constant companion instead of Jesus. I came in great power of the Spirit on the day of Pentacost, and opened their eyes and hearts to me (Acts 2:1-4). This connection gave them the power to move forward into the world, and have the conviction they needed to build up the church, among both the Jews and the Gentiles.

In verse 8 it reads:
"And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment".

Raphael, the time of this prophecy is at the beginning of the millennium. Jesus spoke in code here, with this prophecy to be interpreted even now as I speak to you, as your Heavenly Mother and as the Holy Ghost! The revealing of my identity as the Holy Ghost is the day where "and when he is come" is to occur. I was revealed first to you, and then to the world among our elect sons and daughters who confirm with me that I am the Holy Ghost, and revealed to them by the power of my Spirit that this is true. This is the time of my coming into the world, as the Holy Ghost, full of great power, reproof and judgment.

Since the day of my revealing to you in 2016, that you first recorded in your post 38 entitled "The Holy Ghost", I have still been waiting to reprove the world of sin and to judge the world for their wickedness.

1 Nephi 14:9-10
"And it came to pass that he said unto me: Look, and behold that great and abominable church, which is the mother of abominations, whose founder is the devil.

And he said unto me: Behold there are save two churches only; the one is the church of the Lamb of God, and the other is the church of the devil; wherefore, whoso belongeth not to the church of the Lamb of God belongeth to that great church, which is the mother of abominations; and she is the whore of all the earth."

Your Heavenly Father and I have allowed this evil church of the devil to propagate and grow over the centuries, until the time of the foundation of the Church of the Lamb of God, which has just recently been established, with the online publication of your Book of Raphael on January 20, 2025 (see your journal entry dated May 31, 2025 and January 21, 2025). Once this Church of the Lamb was established, I have come out of my hiding place. I am now exposing very quickly the sinister and evil foundations of the great and abominable church of the devil. All of these foundations, many established for centuries, will come down and be exposed! They will then crumble and falter, and the kingdom of the devil will start in a freefall decline until Jesus Christ comes to end and destroy all the nations on the earth, in his glorious second coming to the earth.

Jeremiah 46:28
"Fear thou not, O Jacob my servant, saith the Lord: for I am with thee; for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have driven thee"

D&C 101:10-13
"Mine indignation is soon to be poured out without measure upon all nations; and this will I do when the cup of their iniquity is full."

D&C 84:96
"For I, the Almighty, have laid my hands upon the nations, to scourge them for their wickedness."

Even though I will expose the evil secrets of governments and other wicked combinations across the earth, before all the world, and break apart the rule of those nations, those who perpetuated these evils on their nations will continue to pursue their evil intentions. Satan will still rage in their hearts, even until their total destruction with the telestial earth at the second coming of Jesus Christ.

Now, back to the interpretation of the words of Christ as recorded in John.

John 16:13-14
"Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you."

You have well documented in your Book of Raphael, and some of the posts that you have referenced above, what I continually do as the Holy Ghost, as given in these two verses. I speak the truth, and guide my humble and open children into all truth. When they speak, I may come upon them and inspire them to speak while under the power of my Spirit. This is what is meant by "whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak." I often prompt my children who hear my voice and keep my commandments, to know of "things to come." This may come to them as subtle nudges, or as clear and open revelations, like I am now doing with the interpretation of John 16:8 that I gave to you above.

Raphael, I am very pleased to come out of my hiding from among my children, and to be now recognized who I am, as their Heavenly Mother and the Holy Ghost! This assignment has been from the beginning of this temporal earth, and will continue through to the end of the millennium. I will only for a short season act in my capacity to reprove the world of sin, judging the world, exposing all evil, and instigating the destruction of wicked combinations and evil leaders of the nations. Once the millennium begins, I will no longer do these things, but will be fully a witnesser of all truth, a comforter to my beloved children, and a revelator of things as they are, as they were, and as they are to come (D&C 93:24)."

(end of Heavenly Mother's words)

I thanked my brilliantly shining and smiling Heavenly Mother in front of me, for her beautiful revelation today! I wrote her words fast, just as they came into my mind and heart. I feel the confirmation of their truth in my heart, for thus came the witness from her.

January 14, 2026

This new day, I was directed to read 1 Nephi chapter 14. As I read verses 6-7, I felt that I needed to ponder these words. I read them and then read all that I had written about them in the Book of Raphael. Here are the verses:

1 Nephi 14:6-7
"Therefore, wo be unto the Gentiles if it so be that they harden their hearts against the Lamb of God.

For the time cometh, saith the Lamb of God, that I will work a great and a marvelous work among the children of men; a work which shall be everlasting, either on the one hand or on the other—either to the convincing of them unto peace and life eternal, or unto the deliverance of them to the hardness of their hearts and the blindness of their minds unto their being brought down into captivity, and also into destruction, both temporally and spiritually, according to the captivity of the devil, of which I have spoken."

The angel of God who spoke to Nephi said these words, and Nephi wrote them in his record. God has told me that this angel was me, Raphael, in my premortal state, sent from the presence of the Father and Mother to teach Raphael about last days when the Gentiles would live in the promised land. This was the time of the emergence of the church of the Lamb of God (first spoken of in 1 Nephi 14:10,12,14).

Yesterday, Heavenly Mother spoke these words to me:
"Your Heavenly Father and I have allowed this evil church of the devil to propagate and grow over the centuries, until the time of the foundation of the Church of the Lamb of God, which has just recently been established, with the online publication of your Book of Raphael on January 20, 2025 (see your journal entry dated May 31, 2025 and January 21, 2025). Once this Church of the Lamb was established, I have come out of my hiding place."

On the same day as the publication of the online Book of Raphael, unknown to me at that time, the Church of the Lamb of God was also established. This was also the inauguration day for President Donald Trump's second term, and the very day when Heavenly Mother came out of her hiding place as the Holy Ghost. This day when all these things happened was January 20, 2025. The time of the day was 10 am local time for me in Utah. I believe this was the exact time all these events also happened.

I am going to copy my journal entry from this date below. It shows how important this juncture was to my Heavenly Parents:

"January 21, 2025
Yesterday morning at 10 am I finally made my BookofRaphael.com live online, both Volumes 1 and 2. This was the culmination of months of work. I was told to have the end of December, 2024 as my target date to finish my website, but it took me a few more weeks. I had been praying daily about this, seeking my Heavenly Parent's help.

Yesterday was also the long-awaited inauguration of Donald Trump, our 47th President of the United States. This also occurred in the morning. I looked up online and he and Vice President Vance would be officially taking office at my same 10 am local time as well, according to the 20th Amendment to the US Constitution, whether they had taken the oath of office or not by that time. This was the same exact time as my Book of Raphael came online.

I was musing yesterday about these two major events occurring on the same morning on the same day and time. I prayed to my Heavenly Father, and felt very close to him. I then was filled with light, and felt he would be speaking to me. Heavenly Mother came next to him on his left side, both in front of me. I could tell that they were both very pleased, and were going to share with me something monumental.

I then asked my Father if it was a coincidence that both my start of BookofRaphael.com and the Presidential Inauguration occurred on the same day. He then spoke to me. I was not in a position to write his words at that time, so I am writing them today, the day following, in the early morning when my mind is clear, rested and focused. I have prayed that he and Heavenly Mother come by my side and help me reconstruct what they both shared with me:

"Raphael, this is your Heavenly Father speaking. Your Heavenly Mother and I are very pleased that you have completed uploading the Book of Raphael online! This is a significant achievement for you while keeping your anonymity. You have recorded all of our revelations to you since April 2013 when we first appeared to you in your energy class in Provo, Utah. Your revelations from us have become very great.

Because you have done this, our elect who live on earth now have access to our revelations that we have given to you. We will now inspire our obedient childen who listen to our promptings, to find your website and study your records. These elect children are both living in mortality on the earth, and dwelling in the spirit world. These have never considered your revelations in their conscious, mortal minds.

Also on this same day, January 20th, 2025, President Donald Trump became president of the United States of America. We are also very pleased that the majority of the people in your country have voted for him and his policies. We have shared with you previously that this act has caused us to bring a four-year era of relative peace in your country, prior to the prophesied calamities that will come upon your land. These calamities will come once there is a division of the righteous from the wicked, prior to the glorious second coming of our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ to the earth.

It is during these next four years of relative peace in your land that we will guide our righteous elect over the entire earth to consider, read, ponder and pray about the revelations from us in your record that has just been made available to them. When they sincerely and humbly pray to me, in the name of Jesus Christ, we will reveal to them the truth of your record. During these four years, we will stay the hand of Satan among our elect, so that they will have time to learn and grow spiritually by following our Spirit. Having your record available to them will be a large part of their awakening to us."

At that time Heavenly Father stopped speaking and looked at Heavenly Mother. She was radiantly shining and smiling broadly! She began to speak:

"Raphael, our beloved son, we are so pleased that you have acted in faith in preparing and publishing your record online this morning! We have orchestrated this event to be timed at the same time as the inauguration of Donald Trump as President of the United States of America. He promises a golden era of freedom which we will fulfill over the next four years. We will do this in order that our chosen elect might become fortified in their faith and knowledge, prior to being gathered in the clouds of heaven during the second coming of our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ.

These, our elect have been being taught over the past few years, up to this point in our celestial realms in their unconscious minds, mostly during their sleeptime (see 171D2-171D19). They have been taught the fulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ, plus many of the same truths that are contained in your record, the Book of Raphael. They will recognize these same truths in their conscious minds when they read and study them in your record. I will guide them by my Holy Ghost to recognize these truths, and to witness of the truth to their mind and heart. We will carefully lead each one individually to accept the truth, each one uniquely along our planned path of awakening.

When the four years are completed, we will have a group of our elect whom we have further gathered into safe garners. They will have significantly greater knowledge, understanding and faith to be strong for the days ahead, prior to the second coming. Mostly, they will have taken upon them the Holy Spirit as their guide:

D&C 45:57
"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."

Today marks the end of our teaching of our elect in their unconscious minds in our celestial world by our called teachers, and the beginning of their teaching in their mortal minds. This juncture will begin a new era of safety and protection for these, our elect children who have chosen to follow our Spirit and guidance. This new era is marked by greater truth being revealed from the heavens, and a sufficient measure of freedom in which they may choose to follow our direction. I will send my Holy Ghost, even my own person, among them in a greater measure also to comfort, to witness of the truth, and to protect them and to guide them to a place of assurance that they are truly following our lead and directions.

Your Book of Raphael Volume One has been made available to those who live in Zion, the New Jerusalem in the terrestrial mortal world, from the time that your posts were first brought to them by you. These records were also made available to all the hosts of heaven, both premortal, translated and resurrected individuals. However, these have not been made available until today to the hosts of the righteous spirit dead. All of your revelations that we have given to you since your last post 204, recorded now in the Book of Raphael Volume Two, have not been made available to any of these groups to date. However, they are all now available today to all who may seek them, regardless of what realm or state of progression they may be in, for this is our era of abundant truth and revelation sweeping the earth as with a flood:

Moses 7:62:
"And righteousness will I send down out of heaven; and truth will I send forth out of the earth, to bear testimony of mine Only Begotten; his resurrection from the dead; yea, and also the resurrection of all men; and righteousness and truth will I cause to sweep the earth as with a flood, to gather out mine elect from the four quarters of the earth, unto a place which I shall prepare, an Holy City, that my people may gird up their loins, and be looking forth for the time of my coming; for there shall be my tabernacle, and it shall be called Zion, a New Jerusalem."

Raphael, I want to emphasize again how pleased your Father and I are today with these two events that we have brought together! Our great and glorious work is moving forward across the earth among our beloved children who follow us and keep our commandments. All the heavenly hosts also rejoice in these milestone events in the salvation of our children.""

(end of my January 21, 2025 journal entry)

While again reading slowly the whole of 1 Nephi chapter 14 today, I came across these three verses which I read with a much greater understanding. I have put my new understanding in parentheses after each verse:

1 Nephi 14:15-17
"15 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.

(The "wrath of God was poured out upon the great and abominable church" is exactly what Heavenly Mother explained yesterday, when she referring to John 16:8. She said the following, which corresponds with the "wrath of God":

"Your Heavenly Father and I have allowed this evil church of the devil to propagate and grow over the centuries, until the time of the foundation of the Church of the Lamb of God, which has just recently been established, with the online publication of your Book of Raphael on January 20, 2025 (see your journal entry dated May 31, 2025 and January 21, 2025). Once this Church of the Lamb was established, I have come out of my hiding place. I am now exposing very quickly the sinister and evil foundations of the great and abominable church of the devil. All of these foundations, many established for centuries, will come down and be exposed! They will then crumble and falter, and the kingdom of the devil will start in a freefall decline until Jesus Christ comes to end and destroy all the nations on the earth, in his glorious second coming to the earth.")

16 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—

(The days of wars and rumors of wars among all the nations is really beginning all across the earth with greater intensity, more than I believe ever before. These wars are not restricted to one global area, but are currently found in conflicts between the USA and Venezuela, USA and Cuba, Israel and Hezbollah, Islamic Republic of Iran and its inhabitants that are uprising, USA/Israel and Iran, Russia and Ukraine, Russia and NATO, China and Taiwan, Thailand and Cambodia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda, and I believe more. President Trump of the USA has been involved in trying to bring peace to all of these nations and with peace talks and his peace through strength policy. I believe wars will keep exploding across the planet, but within the United States, there will be relative peace–see my journal entry dated December 15, 2024.)

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

("At that day, the work of the Father shall commence" is speaking of all that has occurred on January 20, 2025 as described above. The work of the Father includes the bringing forth of the online Book of Raphael to the world, the establishment of the Church of the Lamb upon the earth, and the real start of the gathering of the elect to Zion, the New Jerusalem. The "work of the Mother", as I might call it, started on the same day, when the wrath of God was poured out without measure upon the great and abominable church of the devil. Jesus said when the Holy Ghost is come (really Heavenly Mother), he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment" (John_16-8. This reproof and judgment is what I believe is the same thing as the "wrath of God" in 1 Nephi 14:15-17.)

I then felt that I had pondered and written about 1 Nephi 14:6-7 enough on my own. I next asked humbly for one of my Heavenly Parents if they would please give me a direct revelation about these verses, and maybe also about the other verses that I had quoted above.

At that moment, both my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother appeared before me, clearly in my unconscious mind! They were standing next to each other, side by side. Heavenly Father spoke first. Their directed thoughts to me are recorded in my own words below:

"Raphael, both your Heavenly Mother and I have come before you this afternoon in response to your humble request. We want to both make it clear, that our joint work, started on January 20th, 2025, encompasses what the scriptures call 1) the work of the Father, and 2) what you called the work of the Mother, in the reproof and judgment upon the great and abominable church of the devil, among all nations of the earth. This combined work is called a great and marvelous work among the children of men. It will culminate in a great division among men, and the second coming of our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ."

Heavenly Mother then spoke. She was also firm in what she said, and deliberate:

"Raphael, what you have written above in this journal entry is fully inspired by me, your Heavenly Mother and your Heavenly Father. If any of our children choose to know of its truth, they need to humbly approach the Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, with an open mind and a willingness to act upon what I reveal to them. When they will listen to me more than their leaders, or to any other man or woman, I will reveal to them by my power of the Holy Ghost, that what you have written is true. If they reject my witness, born to their soul, they will do so at a great peril to their temporal and spiritual salvation. These days are ones where if I confirm a humble request, and then they reject this, they are sinning a great sin before me!

However, if they pray and receive my confirming witness of the truth of what you have written, and obey what I tell them to do, then they will receive more and more light and knowledge, even hidden knowledge that the world cannot receive. I will comfort them in their new directions in their life, and encourage them in stepping out in obedience to all that I may ask them to do. We require that our elect hear our voice and keep our commandments. (see D&C 29:7.)"

I gazed into their eternity eyes. They were both firm and resolute in their demeanor. Heavenly Father then spoke again:

"Raphael, your Mother and I are resolute in our purpose, to gather our chosen elect to safe garners in Zion, the New Jerusalem. We will exercise every protective blessing we have available in guiding our beloved children to the place appointed at this time, which is the New Jerusalem. This is a time of reckonning, a time for our elect to step out in faith in following what we individually inspire them to do. They have time to act and come before destruction falls upon the wicked and the telestial earth, but they should not delay.

We have coordinated all the resources of heaven to assist our elect in our purpose and their travels. Many miracles will come to pass as our elect step out in faith. Most of all, we who are the Gods of this earth, are all very involved in the details of saving our elect!"

I bowed before my Heavenly Parents, with my face towards the ground. I audibly thanked them for their dramatic appearance to me today. I am extremely impressed by the force of their words. I feel so much light and revelation from them to me, and know what they speak is truly from them!

__________________________________________

January 15-16, 2026

This morning I again sought to know what my Heavenly Parents wanted me to do during my time of meditation and prayer, to receive the pleasing word of God in my life. I was led to read an entire chapter in the Book of Mormon, one which I had read many times. I felt that Heavenly Mother would come to me and make her comments on this entire chapter of 3 Nephi 21. I therefore prayed to her this morning, and felt her immediate presence. She asked me to copy the verses from this chapter, and she would make her commentary after the verses she wanted to in parenthesis:

3 Nephi 21:1-29
"1 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;

(Raphael, your Father and I have given you abundant revelations already on the meaning of most of the verses in this chapter in the past, on multiple times. These are recorded in your Book of Raphael. Of myself, I have already commented on the verse of this chapter (see your posts 198F4-198F11 and 198G3-198G5. It would be well to read this in addition to what I give in this journal entry.)

However, today I wish to add more information based on your revelations that we have opened up in the past four days to you about my great work I will do in these last days among all the nations of the Gentiles, among those people who either accept Jesus Christ as their Redeemer, or those who reject him. My work as the Holy Ghost will be to gather individuals and groups of my people, the House of Israel, to Zion, the New Jerusalem. My gathering work will be in full coordination with the Father, and those heavenly servants that we will employ in our great work, in this gathering of our elect from all the nations of the earth.

My work also includes making known the wicked secrets of evil men and women that are hidden under the cloak of oppression and falsehoods. I will execute my wrath of God upon all of these peoples, nations and organizations that are classed as belonging to the church of the devil, to their utter destruction. These are all those who are not identified as belonging to the Church of the Lamb (1 Nephi 14:10). The Church of the Lamb are those who include the elect of God, who hear my voice and obey my commandments.

1 Nephi 14:3
"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."

My wrath will expose evil, sinister plans of the adversary among my wayward children. This will be to "their utter destruction" of these evil ones. This great revealing of their frauds, contemptuous behaviors, and self-aggrandizing stealings and cover-ups, evils and systematic oppressions of the rights of the people whom they have carefully lied to, to whom they were supposed to be serving and which they have been abundantly paid, will shatter their plans. They will lose the confidence and trust of their constituents and the people. I will reprove the world of sin, of all unrighteousness! My judgments will be clearly made known among all peoples.

Many of those exposed and those who come to know of their wickedness in high places will be in shock and anger. Those who are exposed will not repent, but feel that they have been unfairly caught and their wicked plans and works revealed. Their empires of wickedness will crumble, and their evil plans shattered. However, many of these who once lived in evil power will entrench themselves even more with the adversary, with Satan, and become even more evil and corrupt. However, from this time on they will no longer be able to hide their intentions.)

2 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, and which I shall declare unto you hereafter of myself, 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, and concerning this my people who shall be scattered by them;

(My Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, knew that I would reveal to you, Raphael, that it is me, through my power of the Holy Ghost, all of these things I am now revealing to you. He said that the sign when these things would happen is when the Holy Ghost would reveal them to the Gentiles. These words of Christ will be revealed to them by the power of the Holy Ghost, who is me. Raphael, you live among the Gentiles, and I reveal my words to you, and you will write them in your record, published online for all to read. The righteous Gentiles, my elect, will read them and know that this is clearly the time that Jesus spoke of.

At the end of verse 2, Jesus speaks of two groups of people: 1) "concerning this people who are a remnant of the house of Jacob", and 2) "concerning this my people who shall be scattered by them" (the Gentiles). The first group consists of the elect of God, scattered abroad in the earth, called a "remnant of the house of Jacob". They are a remnant, for they are among all nations, broken up (not in one body), and of my people, the house of Israel. They are the ones who will be gathered to safe places, to finally be in one body at the New Jerusalem, with all the true followers of my Son, Jesus Christ. The "remnant of the house of Israel" is Jesus's definition of the obedient branch of the House of Israel, the true branches of the vine of Christ:

John 15:5
"I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing."

The second group in verse 2 are the descendants of Lehi who are living on the earth in your day. Jesus wanted to emphasize that these people would be distinct and living in the land. You call them Latins, or of the Lamanite nations. Many are in your land now, and in Mexico and the South American countries. These too will come to know of your record, and my words to you at this time. Many of them are also numbered among the elect of God, and will be gathered to Zion, the New Jerusalem.

In verse 2, the sign of the time that these things would be finally revealed to you (a Gentile) is the time when there is both the elect scattered abroad on the earth (the remnant of house of Jacob) and the presence of the descendants of Lehi scattered on the earth.)

3 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 unto you;

(Another way to say this verse more clearly is this: "I say unto you, when these things of the Father, which shall come forth of the Father, shall be made known unto the Gentiles, or unto Raphael who is a Gentile, from him in his record unto you, who are the elect of God, or the remnant of the house of Israel;")

4 For it is wisdom in the Father that they should be established in this land, and be set up as a free people by the power of the Father, that these things might come forth from them unto a remnant of your seed, that the covenant of the Father may be fulfilled which he hath covenanted with his people, O house of Israel;

("They should be established in this land" means the "Gentiles should be established in this land". This is the nation of the United States of America. This country is now destined to be a very free land through the end of the President Donald Trump's second term. There will be relative peace in your land, while the rest of the world becomes more and more embroiled in wars, conflicts of all kinds, and a place that is no longer safe for the peoples of the earth.

It is during this era of relative peace in your land that we will gather our elect to your land of promise. We will then assist them to migrate into the terrestrial earth where they may travel to Zion, the New Jerusalem.

The migration of our elect to the New Jerusalem is the start of the fulfillment of our covenants with the house of Israel. The gathering of our elect is one of our covenants we have made with the house of Israel.

3 Nephi 20:29
"And I will remember the covenant which I have made with my people; and I have covenanted with them that I would gather them together in mine own due time, that I would give unto them again the land of their fathers for their inheritance, which is the land of Jerusalem, which is the promised land unto them forever, saith the Father."

Jesus then quotes Isaiah 52:1-3 which talks of Jerusalem, even meant to be the New Jerusalem. This is where our elect will be gathered in one body prior to the second coming of Jesus Christ.

Our covenant of gathering Israel will be followed up with our new and everlasting covenant (see your notes in D&C 1:22). This covenant is started by the entire gathered group of Israel at the New Jerusalem being baptized by our authorized servants of the newly established Church of Christ. This will occur after the second coming of Jesus Christ at the New Jerusalem. All will enter into this new baptism, this new covenant. There are then many other steps of our covenant which our faithful, who press forward in diligence, will enter into, even until they receive their exaltation and eternal life in our kingdom!)

5 Therefore, when these works and the works which shall be wrought among you hereafter shall come forth from the Gentiles, unto your seed which shall dwindle in unbelief because of iniquity;

6 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;

7 And when these things come to pass that thy seed shall begin to know these things—it shall be a sign unto them, that they may know that the work of the Father hath already commenced unto the fulfilling of the covenant which he hath made unto the people who are of the house of Israel.

(Raphael, Jesus is here saying that when your record, the Book of Raphael, comes among the remnant of the seed of Lehi, and I will add among all the elect of God throughout the earth, it will be a sign to them that finally the work of gathering and redemption is about to happen. Your record is one of the major works spoken about in verse 5. It will come forth from the Gentiles (from you) to them. Other works available among them include the other standard work scriptures. Another work is the great gathering involving us, their very Heavenly Parents and all the hosts of heaven who will participate in this very large effort. All the works of both the Father and the Mother, as I have revealed to you over the past few days, are also included in "these works and the works which shall be wrought among" them in verse 5.

In verse 6, Jesus reveals why your Heavenly Father and I designed from the beginning to have the Gentiles establish the United States of America. We have sent many of our choice and elect children to your land of freedom, to be schooled in righteous principles. We have shaped your nation to be a Christian nation, founded upon the US Constitution written by men whom we have raised up for this very purpose (D&C 101:80). We chose to make your nation a model of freedom to all the nations of the earth. In the last days, in your very day, it will be the only nation living in relative peace on the earth. It will be a perfect place for the protection for our elect to gather to as they move forward towards Zion, the New Jerusalem, which is also located on the land in a different realm. We chose, from the beginning of this eternity, to have your nation to be the place of gathering, and to be established among a Gentile nation, and to have its foundation based on Christian principles. It is also the place where we restored the Gospel of Jesus Christ through the prophet Joseph Smith. We have established our restored Church of Christ for a season upon its surface, and have gathered many of our elect into this church. All is now primed for our next phase, to gather our elect to Zion, the New Jerusalem!

In verse 7, Jesus again reiterates that the coming forth of all these events and works among the Gentiles, will be the great sign that our covenants are about to be fulfilled.)

8 And when that day shall come, it shall come to pass that kings shall shut their mouths; for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider.

(The event of "kings shall shut their mouths; for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider" is described by your Heavenly Father in 1 Nephi 21:7-8 on July 27, 2024:

"Raphael, the verses in 1 Nephi 21:7, 3 Nephi 20:45, 3 Nephi 21:8, D&C 101:93-95 and Isaiah 49:7 are all talking about the same thing: In the near future, your record will be presented to the faithful elect in the flesh. Among them will be many who are heirs of the celestial kingdom, even my future kings and priests, queens and priestesses. These will read and consider my words, and the words of Heavenly Mother and Jesus Christ, that have been given to you in the Book of Raphael. They will call upon me in the name of my Son, Jesus Christ, if these words are true and from us. If they are sincere and penitent, we will enlighten them with our Spirit and the Holy Ghost, and convince them that these are true, and were given from us to you.

These, our faithful elect whom I have chosen, will not know what to say, but will "shut their mouths at him" (3 Nephi 20:45), or not know what to say to you Raphael and about the many truths in your record, for they will receive the Spirit in abundance that will strongly testify of its truthfulness. They will then "arise" (Isaiah 49:7 and 1 Nephi 21:7) and accept these truths from us! They will then gladly keep our commandments to come to the New Jerusalem, and come with joy and gladness, out of Babylon, and greatly rejoice in and worship the "Lord that is faithful.")

9 For in that day, for my sake shall the Father work a work, which shall be a great and a marvelous work among them; and there shall be among them those who will not believe it, although a man shall declare it unto them.

(Refer to my words given to you, commenting on this verse on June 29, 2021 in your post 198F6:
"For in that day, for my sake shall the Father (and Mother) work a work, which shall be a great and a marvelous work among them; and there shall be among them those who will not believe it, although a man shall declare it unto them. (Raphael, this man is you, for you have written the details of the building of the New Jerusalem which is our great and marvelous work that Jesus is referring to. Those who will not believe and won't come to the New Jerusalem are those who will be left behind when their friends and family depart to go to Zion.)")

10 But behold, the life of my servant 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.

11 Therefore it shall come to pass that whosoever will not believe in my words, who am Jesus Christ, which the Father shall cause him to bring forth unto the Gentiles, and shall give unto him power that he shall bring them forth unto the Gentiles, (it shall be done even as Moses said) they shall be cut off from among my people who are of the covenant.

(Read my words given to you under your post 198F11:
"v10. But Behold, the life of my servant shall be in my hand; therefore they shall not hurt him, although he shall be marred because of them. (This is the servant John the Beloved. See your post 53T9 to 53T10. John will be healed by his Father Jesus Christ. He will come to the New Jerusalem soon after you arrive there with your wife and son in September, 2021 [Later changed, see my explanation my explanation here and and here.]. He will be in charge of the design and construction of the New Jerusalem city. With your help and many others, this terrestrial city will be part of the great and marvelous work Jesus Christ referred to in verse 9 above. In your post 54L7 I spoke to you that you will be in charge of building the celestial city. This should have written as 'in charge of the celestial temple and temple block area plus the entire island.' This includes the terrestrial city to some degree, but John the Beloved is the head one in charge. He will ask for your assistance which you will freely give.

Yet I will heal him for I will show unto them (those who come to the New Jerusalem) that my wisdom is greater than the cunning of the devil.

v11. Therefore it shall come to pass that whosoever will not believe in my words, who am Jesus Christ, which the Father shall cause him to bring forth unto the Gentiles, and shall give unto him power that he shall bring them forth unto the Gentiles, (it shall be done even as Moses said) they shall be cut off from among my people who are of the covenant. (Raphael, our servant John the Beloved has brought forth the Book of Revelation found in every complete Bible on the earth. This is the record Jesus is referring to. If the elect will not believe these signs and wonders given in this book of Revelation, as we shall impress upon them by our Spirit, that it is time to gather to the New Jerusalem and to Zion spoken of in this book of scripture, they shall be left behind. See Revelation 3:12 where John speaks of the righteous being gathered to the New Jerusalem. However, the wicked, who won't believe and just can't decide on their own to come to Zion, the New Jerusalem, but follow Babylon and the wicked, will be left behind, and will be figuratively "spued out of my mouth" (see Revelation 3:16). These will not come to Zion, for they hear but will not take action.)"

12 And my people who are a remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles, yea, in the midst of them as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep, who, if he go through both treadeth down and teareth in pieces, and none can deliver.")

(Raphael, these words of Jesus Christ in verse 12 were given by Jesus Christ as a conditional prophecy. Refer to the words of your Heavenly Father given to you on September 10, 2025:
"The prophecy of portions of the house of Israel, to go through among the wicked Gentiles, and treading them down (3 Nephi 16:14-15), is one which is very conditional. Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son, always stated this before these prophecies, by saying "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." (3 Nephi 16:23). He repeated a similar conditional statement about other prophecies coming in the last days.

The prophecies of treading down the Gentiles, and of lion among the beasts of the forest, and as a young lion among the flocks of sheep, are all conditional prophecies. We are hopeful that our mortal children in your land will awaken and repent, rejecting Satan and his evil plans. We ourselves know what will happen if the majority of the citizens in your land choose good, and what will happen if the majority of the people choose evil. We can see both future paths. We therefore have couched these prophecies with a conditional statement."

We have delayed the possible fulfillment of this prophecy until after the four years of President Trump's second term. As for now, we are hopeful that the majority of the people in your country will continue choosing freedom and choice, instead of captivity and death where they were heading before the election that got President Trump in office for his second term. We expect very many also to turn to Jesus Christ, and worship him as the God of the promised land.)

13 Their hand shall be lifted up upon their adversaries, and all their enemies shall be cut off.

14 Yea, wo be unto the Gentiles except they repent; for it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Father, that I will cut off thy horses out of the midst of thee, and I will destroy thy chariots;

15 And I will cut off the cities of thy land, and throw down all thy strongholds;

16 And I will cut off witchcrafts out of thy land, and thou shalt have no more soothsayers;

17 Thy graven images I will also cut off, and thy standing images out of the midst of thee, and thou shalt no more worship the works of thy hands;

18 And I will pluck up thy groves out of the midst of thee; so will I destroy thy cities.

19 And it shall come to pass that all lyings, and deceivings, and envyings, and strifes, and priestcrafts, and whoredoms, shall be done away.

20 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;

21 And I will execute vengeance and fury upon them, even as upon the heathen, such as they have not heard.

(Raphael, all that is given from verses 13-21 include what I will do in my wrath as the Holy Ghost (see your journal entry dated January 14, 2026). Previous to this time, Heavenly Father stated that he would do this, but it will really be me, acting on our joint behalf.

In your journal entry September 21, 2025, Heavenly Father said this in comment about Isaiah 28:17:
"There are many conspiracies and secret evil agreements in your land. However, I will expose these and they will be routed out. Most of the agreements with or inspired by the evil one, even Lucifer, that have been entered into with governments and industries in your promised land, will come to light. They will shrink from the public outcry and exposure. Whistleblowers and investigative work will expose these evil plans and entities. Those conspiracies that are not aligned with the US Constitution in the federal government will be eliminated or subverted in their evil plans. Those conspiracies in state and local governments will also not prosper, even though false media and reports may lie about their purposes and demise. These evil "covenants with death shall be disannulled" and not stand. The overflowing scourge proceeding from my presence will cause the wicked to "be trodden down". This will be a veritable scourge against the evil in this, my promised land, the central land of gathering of my elect in these last days! This I will do because the majority of the citizens of the United States of America have voted for Donald Trump whose policies seek to promote a major change that is pleasing to us (see your notes under 2 Nephi 30:15-18 dated March 11, 2025"))

22 But if they will repent and hearken unto my words, and harden not their hearts, I will establish my church among them, and they shall come in unto the covenant and be numbered among this the remnant of Jacob, unto whom I have given this land for their inheritance;

(I will work among all my elect across all the earth, to repent and hearken to my voice, the voice of the Spirit, even the Holy Ghost. If they do repent, they will be numbered among those who are gathered to the New Jerusalem, and who are numbered among the covenant of gathering and of the new and everlasting covenant in their future.)

23 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.

24 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.

25 And then shall the power of heaven come down among them; and I also will be in the midst.

(I will carefully guide my people, the remnant of Jacob, and as many others who repent and obey my voice, to the New Jerusalem. They will assist in building out the terrestrial city of the New Jerusalem, which foundations you have created on the island of the New Jerusalem. There will be great cooperation in establishing Zion again on the earth, among all our heavenly servants who assist our elect, and those who are gathered, and those who are already living in the New Jerusalem from the lost tribes of Israel.

The "power of heaven" includes my power of the Spirit, from me, the Holy Ghost, coming upon all those elect who make their way to Zion, the New Jerusalem in their travels.

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."

Once the elect arrive in the New Jerusalem, this power will continue to be manifested among my children in Zion. Jesus Christ will come among them, even prior to his glorious second coming, and the Father and I will also walk among them in unseen realms of glory.)

26 And then shall the work of the Father commence at that day, even when this gospel shall be preached among the remnant of this people. Verily I say unto you, at that day shall the work of the Father commence among all the dispersed of my people, yea, even the tribes which have been lost, which the Father hath led away out of Jerusalem.

27 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.

28 the way whereby his people may be gathered home to the land of their inheritance.

(The work of the Father and my work, all began on January 20, 2025 (see your journal entry dated January 14, 2026). This entire chapter of 3 Nephi 21 is about this very day when these events began in earnest. "When this gospel shall be preached among the remnant of this people" refers to the fulness of the gospel contained in your Book of Raphael. In it there are truths and mysteries of God never before revealed to mankind in this eternity. This gospel in your Book of Raphael shows clearly what our elect are to do to be protected and saved with a spiritual and temporal salvation in a very darkening world. Following your guidance that we have given you will require them to gain a witness from me, the Holy Ghost, to witness of all truth and to be their daily guide in their lives. I will comfort and bless them beyond their comprehension, and lead them to Zion and to safety. They will need to obey my voice and keep my commandments, as have you.)

29 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."

(If our elect follow my promptings, they will not feel rushed or act in haste. However, they cannot delay, for they need to leave Babylon when I tell them to leave. They need not be anxious, but act with rejoicing and gladness:

Isaiah_51:11
"Therefore the redeemed of the Lord shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away.")

(end of Heavenly Mother's comments on 3 Nephi chapter 21)

I feel very enlightened with the words from my Heavenly Mother! When she finished, and I completed writing her words, she smiled broadly and ascended up into the higher celestial realms out of my sight. I feel fully settled that I wrote her words as she gave them to me. I feel the uplift of her Spirit in my heart, a comfort to my soul!

__________________________________________

January 17-18, 2026

This morning I read 3 Nephi chapter 20. Jesus spoke to the people in verses 10 to 46, all about the gathering of the elect, and the events of our very day. My mind settled upon 3 Nephi 20:21-23:

"21 And it shall come to pass that I will establish my people, O house of Israel.

22 And behold, this people will I establish in this land, unto the fulfilling of the covenant which I made with your father Jacob; and it shall be a New Jerusalem. And the powers of heaven shall be in the midst of this people; yea, even I will be in the midst of you.

23 Behold, I am he of whom Moses spake, saying: A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. And it shall come to pass that every soul who will not hear that prophet shall be cut off from among the people."

-----------
3 Nephi 20:21-22:

I believe that the people Jesus refers to in verse 21 and verse 22 are the same exact group of people. He calls them "my people, O house of Israel" in verse 21. He also calls them "this people" in verse 22.

He says he will establish that people in this land, or in the land where he stood in Bountiful of the ancient Americas where he was teaching the people, which I believe is now within the United States of America.

Jesus said in verse 22 that he would establish this people to the fulfilling of the covenant which Jesus made with their father Jacob. What is that covenant? The most obvious covenant was made from Jacob to his son Joseph in Genesis 49:26:

"The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren."

The location of the everlasting hills was also in the United States, as answered to me while studying Isaiah_2:2:
"March 22. 2024, in prayer with Heavenly Father:
Q- After my returning from the clouds of heaven, following the second coming of Jesus Christ, will these Utah mountains still be here?

A- Yes, the Wasatch front mountains (called the everlasting hills, see Genesis 49:26) will still be there after the earth's transition to the terrestrial mortal world. You are also correct when you thought that when treasures are hidden in the ground, and hid up to the Lord at the time of burial by a righteous man or woman, they are soon transferred from the telestial to the terrestrial mortal earth. This preserves these records from any unauthorized persons who might find them who live in the telestial mortal world. They cannot find them, for they are in a different realm, even the terrestrial."

Two other promises, or covenants that were given to Jacob were described by Heavenly Father to me on February 7, 2025:
"Raphael, you appeared to Jacob (Israel) twice in his life as our archangel, once when you changed his name to Israel, and the second time just before Israel's blessing upon Ephraim and Manasseh. When you appeared to him the second time, you also came on my command with my instructions. You told him that Ephraim should receive the birthright blessings of Joseph. In so doing, Israel was to place his right hand on Ephraim's head, and his left hand on Manasseh's head, during the blessing.

It was also at this same appearance that you pronounced upon Israel a promise of eternal life, as given by me. This promise of eternal life is similar to what I recently shared with you in your notes in D&C 131:5 dated February 3, 2025. This is why Israel told his son Joseph in Genesis_48:15-16 the following:

'God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God which fed me all my life long unto this day, The Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads.'

Israel was in part referring to the instructions from your recent visit as God's angel when you instructed him to bless Ephraim and Manasseh. This was our plan, even from the beginning, to have Joseph and his son Ephraim's descendants to be the last days leaders, holding the birthright blessing of Abraham. Both Joseph Smith, the prophet and you, Raphael, are of this tribe of Ephraim. You both have very critical last-days leadership roles. There are very many more who have accepted our gospel in the last days who are of the tribe of Ephraim, who will also act in significant leadership roles."

I also read this from my notes dated February 7, 2025 under Genesis_48:9-20:
"The man who wrestled with Jacob was Raphael, the archangel of the Lord. This I had received through prayer on September 24, 2024, and had it again confirmed from Heavenly Father today. This is what Heavenly Father said to me today, in the quiet and meditative focus I was experiencing when evaluating this scripture:

"Raphael, this is your Heavenly Father. Concerning the events recorded in Genesis 32:24-30, I had sent you on an assignment to appear to our servant Jacob, the son of Isaac, to bless him and change his name to Israel. Verses 24 to 26 describe a wrestle that Jacob had within himself as you appeared to him when he was alone in the desert. It is recorded in the Bible as a physical wrestle with God, but in reality it was an inner struggle of Jacob to accept his own new name of Israel.

As an archangel of God, you were under obligation to act in my place, and give all glory to your us, your Gods, and not to yourself. Therefore, you did not reveal to Jacob your name, but fulfilled your calling by blessing him and giving him his new name. Because you did not reveal your name, Jacob thought you might be his God, and therefore proclaimed in verse 30 'I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.' He was also referring to the blessing you gave him that his life would be preserved when he came and shortly to meet his brother Esau. You also promised him twelve sons in the blessing, even as I had commanded you to pronounce."

The following is from my journal entry dated March 14, 2025:
"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."

Coming back to what Jesus Christ said in 3 Nephi 20:22, I now believe that "the fulfilling of the covenant which I made with your father Jacob" was the covenant and promise of the Father through Raphael, the angel, to Jacob of eternal life. Although I hadn't before said it in this way, I now feel impressed to say that Jacob was promised at that time, that his (Jacob's) posterity would receive eternal life and exaltation as they were obedient to the guidance of the Holy Ghost in their lives. This promise would particularly be fulfilled in the last days when Jacob's descendants, numbered on earth as the elect of God, would be gathered in one place in the New Jerusalem. They would at that time be fully awakened to their heritage and this very promise. Those who would then be persistent, and "press forward in faith", would progress and eventually receive the fulfilling of the covenant made to Jacob, their ancient father.

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."

This promise of eternal life is fully made when their child is accepted by Jesus Christ into the Church of the Firstborn. At that time, I Raphael, will call them by name to enter into the celestial temple of the New Jerusalem. I will administer to them at that time the waters of separation ordinance, and Oriphiel the archangel who works with me there, will record their name in the Lamb's Book of Life. This is when this unalterable promise of eternal life and exaltation is fully realized. They will then proceed to receive all the required steps and ordinances to their exaltation, even as a couple God with their spouse for eternity.

-----------
3 Nephi 20:23:
"Behold, I am he of whom Moses spake, saying: A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. And it shall come to pass that every soul who will not hear that prophet shall be cut off from among the people."

I next pondered on 3 Nephi 20:23 above. There are four main scriptures that state this same thing. Moses is really a type of Jesus Christ (see "Moses as a Type of Jesus Christ" by Don W. Parry). Jesus restated this type, by saying "like unto me".

Deuteronomy 18:18-19
"18 I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.

19 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him."

Acts 3:22-23
"22 For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.

23 And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people."

1 Nephi 22:20-21
"20 And the Lord will surely prepare a way for his people, unto the fulfilling of the words of Moses, which he spake, saying: A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. And it shall come to pass that all those who will not hear that prophet shall be cut off from among the people.

21 And now I, Nephi, declare unto you, that this prophet of whom Moses spake was the Holy One of Israel; wherefore, he shall execute judgment in righteousness."

D&C 133:63
"63 And upon them that hearken not to the voice of the Lord shall be fulfilled that which was written by the prophet Moses, that they should be cut off from among the people."

All of these verses point to one thing for the people of our day: if they don't hearken, hear in all things whatsoever Jesus Christ shall say to them, they shall be cut off from among the people. In my understanding, this means that they will be destroyed at the second coming of Jesus Christ (or before during the calamities of the last days), and not be able to move forward with the righteous and elect people into the millennium.

In another verse, Jesus says he will speak to the people by himself hereafter and by the Holy Ghost:

3 Nephi 21:2 partial
"...for verily I say unto you that when these things which I declare unto you, and which I shall declare unto you hereafter of myself, and by the power of the Holy Ghost which shall be given unto you of the Father".

My interpretation of this is that Jesus will speak to the people of our day by his voice, the spirit of Jesus Christ, or the light of Christ, and by the Holy Ghost. This is how he will say certain things that they better hear and hearken to, or follow. If they don't, they will not be gathered with the righteous to safe garners, but be cut off from among the people. This means destroyed in the flesh before or at the second coming of Jesus Christ.

What are the things that Jesus will speak to the people by his own voice or by the Holy Ghost? I believe it is that they need to humbly repent, openly come unto him, and then to act on whatever he may say to them to do, either by his own voice of by the voice of the Holy Ghost. I believe at some point he will direct his faithful to find the online Book of Raphael, confirm it is true by the Holy Ghost, further follow God's individual directions to them, and then to finally gather to Zion, the New Jerusalem.

I then had completed my study and pondering of 3 Nephi 20:21-23, as I felt directed to do. I next asked my Father in Heaven to enlighten me further, or to correct me in what I had written above about these verses.

I immediately saw with my spiritual eyes my Heavenly Father come before me! He was smiling, and spoke these words to me, all conveyed to me in my unconscious mind in my thoughts. I have written down in my own words what he spoke:

"Raphael, you have done well to study the words of Jesus Christ, my Beloved Son given in 3 Nephi 20:21-23 in the Book of Mormon. I have been by your side while you pondered and studied, as has your Heavenly Mother by the Holy Ghost guided you. We have led you to write all that you have expounded about these verses above in this entry. This is our preferred way of revelation, to have you think through, and deeply evaluate the exact words given in the verses we give to you. We will thereby be able to guide you in your musings, and lead you to write our very words, without us even voicing them to you except by our still, small voice of the Spirit.

You may therefore share what you wrote above as directly from me, and under the influence of the Holy Ghost. We have provided to you one united and clear message in these verses. When you said "I now feel impressed to say", you were given exactly my words as I would speak to you concerning 3 Nephi 20:21-22.

In your ponderings over 3 Nephi 20:23, you have also accurately expounded on this scripture. If the people in your current world accept Jesus Christ as their Savior, as we will prompt them to do, we will give them more guidance by the Holy Ghost. If they continue receiving, and act in obedience to our gentle spiritual whisperings, we will give them more and more guidance and directions. They will become numbered as our elect, for they hear our voice and keep our commandments. We will even lead them to Zion, the New Jerusalem where there will be great spiritual and temporal safety. They will then continue to receive more and more as they are persistent and obedient.

However, if the people reject our words, given by our spiritual promptings to their minds and hearts, then we will give them less promptings. If they continue to push aside our impressions that we give them, then we will gradually leave them alone, for they do not want our presence or directions. As they persist, they will constitute those who reject Jesus Christ. As Jesus stated in verse 23, so shall it be: "And it shall come to pass that every soul who will not hear that prophet shall be cut off from among the people.""

(end of Heavenly Father's words)

I felt so grateful to my Father for his words, and for the buoy of confidence he gave me that I had been fully guided by him in my study of this scripture passage! I thanked him immediately! He smiled and left my view of his full person. I could tell, however, that he returned to his place in the left side of my unconscious mind. I could also see Heavenly Mother on the right side of my mind. Both are truly my teachers! (see Isaiah 30:20-21).

January 19-20, 2026

In church, in our Gospel Doctrine Sunday School class, we have been studying the creation of the earth. I have thought about the grand plan when our Gods created the earth. I really like these two verses in the Book of Abraham that cover a great secret on the organization and creation of the physical earth:

Abraham 4:1-2
"1 And then the Lord said: Let us go down. And they went down at the beginning, and they, that is the Gods, organized and formed the heavens and the earth.

2 And the earth, after it was formed, was empty and desolate, because they had not formed anything but the earth; and darkness reigned upon the face of the deep, and the Spirit of the Gods was brooding upon the face of the waters."

I read this post 50G25-50G31 about this physical creation of the earth from Heavenly Father, that I copied below:

"The earth was physically created in the telestial sphere, in the current position she is now in, no longer next to our celestial home. The earth was without form and void. When the physical land was birthed from the physical water, it was void of rich mineral and soil deposits that were necessary to sustain man.

In these days of physical creation of the earth, we created a primeval telestial state of the earth, with abundant plant life and large animals. These covered the earth and ultimately created rich deposits of fertile land and minerals in the surface of the earth. Then we allowed all of these to die off, preparatory to sanctifying the earth, or making its surface a terrestrial environment. This record is recorded in the rocks strata of the earth. We then sanctified the earth for this next creation phase. She would become a terrestrial earth on her surface.

At this next time of creation, we brought seeds from resurrected plants, and planted these in our terrestrial earth, which had been prepared. We then brought resurrected animals you are familiar with, who bore terrestrial, immortal offspring to populate the earth. These resurrected animals departed, leaving their offspring.

Finally we came and bore Adam and Eve, as our own offspring, as babies, into this paradisiacal state of the earth. These too were immortal, for they could not die in this terrestrial state. Our two children grew to maturity, to a man and a woman.

Prior to this time, and before the sanctification of mother earth to the terrestrial state, Lucifer and his hosts were cast down to this telestial earth from heaven. They were no longer in our presence.

However, once Adam and Eve reached their mature status, we gave them their full agency. Satan then came among them, tempting them. When Adam and Eve transgressed our commandment, to not eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, they fell from our presence and became the first flesh on earth, or mortal man. Soon the rest of creation also became mortal, and the earth also fell from its sanctified, terrestrial state, to a state again in the telestial realms. This is the time that the 7,000 years of earths temporal existence began."

-----------

I was also told in a later post, that the very pattern used and described above by our own Gods, was used by our first parent Gods in the first eternity of the universe:

91D2-91D9, from Heavenly Father:
"Raphael, I wish to continue showing you the pattern of the gods that was set by our first Gods. Once they had made light and planned how they were going to do all things, they then chose to create their home in heaven. It was the first orb or planet they had created, for before that moment there were no stars, planets, or any heavenly orbs.

They followed the sequence of creation as recorded in your scriptures as described in the Book of Abraham chapters 4-5.

Abraham 4:1
"And then the Lord said: Let us go down. And they went down at the beginning, and they, that is the Gods, organized and formed the heavens and the earth."

Raphael, the first Gods created the heavens, which consisted of their first celestial orb on which they lived as celestial resurrected beings. They created this before they begat offspring, for they wanted a place first to bring forth their children. This was a very large orb, similar in size to our own celestial creation or orb. They created it first spiritually so that it did not yet have any physical matter, but spirit matter. This was more refined matter.

They then created the spirit plants and animals on this celestial orb, following the sequence in the scriptures. At the end of the spirit creation, when all was prepared, they created their own offspring. Their first child was to be the male Redeemer of the subsequent children they would bear in that eternity. These children grew up from their infant state to fully-grown spirit sons and daughters of these, our first Gods. They were all on a spirit heaven at that time, for everything had been created spiritually and none had physical bodies except for our first parent Gods who were resurrected with spirit and physical bodies.

Once they had birthed all of their children for that first eternity, our first parent Gods announced their plans to create an earth. They explained the details of their plan to test their children to see who would be obedient to them in their fallen state, on a physical earth. They wanted their faithful children to become like them, gods in eternity. They announced their chosen Redeemer who would have a critical role to suffer for the sins and weaknesses of all the rest of their children. There were some who dissented and were angry. Their leader became the Satan of that first eternity.

Our first parents then created an earth where their children could dwell. Their earth was created exactly in the same pattern as the earth upon which you live, Raphael. It was created spiritually before physically.

There was a point that Satan was cast out of heaven for rebellion, along with those who followed him and his ways. They were cast into the spirit earth, out of the presence of the first Gods and their other children.

The sequence of creating the first man and woman on that earth followed the same pattern and method as occurred on your own earth, Raphael. This earth was created first spiritually, and then naturally or physically to a telestial then a terrestrial state, even before man was placed on its surface. Our first celestial parent Gods came to this physical earth and bore their first physical children, their Adam and Eve of that eternity. They grew up as children until fully grown physically on that first earth. Satan had been previously cast to that earth and was then allowed to tempt the man and the woman. They fell by succumbing to the temptations of the devil, and earth also fell from its terrestrial state to its fallen telestial state. All of this followed the same pattern that we used in creating man on your own earth.

All of this while the celestial heaven was only in a spirit state and had not yet become physically created. There were, however, a physical earth, moon and a sun, along with a few planets for the solar system."

At our Gospel Doctrine class yesterday, nobody except me understood any of this physical creation process of the first telestial earth. This physical creation of mother earth was necessary to prepare her with the rich soil and rock layers under her surface. These would house the coal and mineral deposits made from organic matter that once lived on its surface. This would be used by man and all life upon the earth in the Garden of Eden era and throughout mortal time.

Without this earliest telestial phase of creation, there would only be bare rock on the earth's surface which had been cooled from molten lava. I had learned later in my revelations, that this same soil and rock layers of the earth, which took eons of time, would be preserved not only on the fallen telestial earth, but also during the millennium when it would receive its terrestrial glory. I believe too, that in her future glorified celestial resurrected state, the earth will retain these soil layers and rock layers that were created and formed in this first telestial creation process (these were actually replicated soil and rock layers from the original telestial earth, see my entry dated July 5-7, 2024 under 3 Nephi 22:3). This was all a process of the creation of the earth. The earth's physical creation wasn't completed until the large land animals and plants had all died off that prepared the earth for Adam and Eve, and the creation of terrestrial animals on its surface.

There is a lot more information on the physical creation of the earth found in the Book of Raphael under Moses 2:11-13,25, 3:4-5. It can all be very confusing for our finite minds. However, in this extensive creation process, our Gods organized everything for the use and benefit of man, their own children. The earth was created not only in spirit and physical creation, but also in a physical telestial, terrestrial and celestial creation. This takes time to absorb and understand all of this. So much has all been revealed in clarity in my Book of Raphael!

-----------

Here is what I wrote about my understanding of this on May 1-2, 2024, and Heavenly Father's instructions, found under my entry on Moses 3:6-9:

"Here is my understanding of these creation verses:

In the first day of creation, the earth was created in a telestial, terrestrial and celestial physical state. In the telestial and terrestrial states, the earth was molten rock which hardened. Each were needing soil in which to grow plants and sustain animal life. Our Heavenly Parents planned that one of these two realms at a time would sustain life while the other rested. The initial soil layers would be created in the first telestial state, where large plants and large animals (dinosaurs) would live and die over long periods of time. All the soils, organic layers such as coal deposits, and rock layers would then be created.

Before Adam's fall, our Heavenly Parents planned that mankind would come to the more elevated physical terrestrial earth. The terrestrial surface then received these soil and organic layers that had been deposited over long periods of time on the telestial physical earth. When transferred from the telestial earth to the surface of the terrestrial earth, the telestial was then returned back to its original rock foundation. This is also where Lucifer and his devils were cast into the earth, in a telestial spirit realm. At some point, all mortal life on the telestial earth died, and it was all covered with water, even before the garden of Eden on the terrestrial earth was planted.

I believe the earth's soil and organic layer switched from the telestial to the terrestrial happened when "there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground." (Moses 3:6). The soil layers were transferred on top of the rock foundation of the terrestrial earth, and the then barren telestial earth was covered with water. See my extensive notes dated July 5-7, 2024 in 3 Nephi 22:3.

When the earth was prepared for Adam and Eve, the surface of the earth became a suspended terrestrial physical realm (no death, no mortality, no blood, only spirit and physical bodies), whereas the telestial surface of the earth came under water. This occurred while the terrestrial earth was filled with new plants and animals suitable for man, and that the beautiful garden of Eden housed Adam and Eve.

Once Adam fell, then the suspended terrestrial earth fell too, and everything of plant and animal life also fell, and it all became a mortal telestial earth. This is the same way that the mortal earth is today.

At this same time of the fall, the bare foundations of the terrestrial earth were preserved and mostly came under terrestrial water, except for a rock highway and some elevated land in the western parts of the land of promise. This condition would stay for 6,000 years. There was only land, water and atmosphere, with no plants or animals in this terrestrial mortal state.

At the time of the fall, the precious soil, organic deposits and rock layers were transferred again back to the the telestial physical earth. The same water that had covered the telestial earth before the fall now came over the foundations of the terrestrial earth. The conditions for growing life was switched from the terrestial to the telestial by God. He did this to preserve life on the telestial realm for the first 6,000 years of mortal earth. There would be another transition for the last thousand years to a terrestrial earth. This last time would be in the last days when Zion would be built, and the terrestrial world would again flourish in the millennium.

At the end of the 6,000 years of earth's telestial existence, there will be large surface areas and all underlying telestial earth structure that will be burned and removed from mother earth. The wicked mortal telestial people will also be consumed, their spirits moving into the telestial spirit realm. What will remain will be the terrestrial physical realm and the celestial physical realm on the earth. All of the telestial physical earth will have been consumed and vanished back to elemental matter outside of the universe!"

-----------

Here is another very enlightening entry given on July 5-7, 2024 under 3 Nephi 22:3:

"July 5-7, 2024
After reading the above, I wondered if the actual current terrestrial earth that is largely covered with terrestrial waters, will remain terrestrial? The reason I wonder is because after the fall of man, the terrestrial earth and the telestial earth swapped places, and the terrestrial waters swapped places with the telestial waters. It was at that time that most of the terrestrial earth was covered with water, awaiting the changes coming in the last days.

I wonder if a modification of the swapping process will also occur at the second coming, with portions of the current telestial earth being changed into a new terrestrial earth. If this were to happen, then might not the current terrestrial earth and the terrestrial waters be transitioned to a telestial earth and water, and then be destroyed at the second coming? What would remain would be the changed telestial earth to a terrestrial earth, and telestial waters changed to terrestrial waters.

It is all so confusing to grasp by my finite mortal mind! I am now praying to my Heavenly Father, asking him to answer my question. I have no idea what he will speak to me, but I feel him near, ready to answer my question.

Heavenly Father then came before me, in my mind's eye, this morning on July 6th during my scripture study. He came in glory before me, and asked that I write his words. Here is what he spoke to me, written in my own words:

"Raphael, my son, the way that your Heavenly Mother and I, and our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, transformed the telestial and terrestrial creations remains a mystery until today. I will explain what we did in the day of creation, in the day of the fall of man, of the future day at the second coming of Jesus Christ, and at the end of the millennium at the death of the earth.

In the beginning, before Adam and Eve were born on the earth, we created the physical earth in three realms: the telestial, the terrestrial and the celestial. All three had veils and were superimposed on each other. Each consisted of a physical earth, physical water, and physical atmosphere, each in their respective realms. There was no soil, plants or animals, nor any life in any of these realms. The only three entities were the mortal earth, the mortal water, and the mortal atmosphere, each created in three realms on the earth. Each entity controlled their respective elements in each of the three realms. All were created physically in their respective realms.

In addition, we created the highest celestial realm, where we who are Gods dwell and visit. In this highest celestial realm there was no need for any entity like earth, atmosphere or water since it is superimposed over all of the other three realms. When we visit any realm on the earth, and want to remain hidden, we dwell in this highest celestial realm. See your post 133F8-133F26 for more details about this highest realm.

We first populated the telestial realm of the earth with large plants and large animals, even before man came on the earth. These were brought from our celestial orb. Some of these plants were very large, and used only for creating soil, and not used in any other realm or time. We also brought large animals, many of which when dead were added to the dead plants to create soil, fossil fuels, and the rock layers of the earth where their remains are stacked on top of each other. These plants and animals remained for millions of earth years in this state, even to create the rock layers of the earth and the rich soils on her surface. Under these rock layers was the foundation rock of the telestial earth. This was all done on the physical telestial earth.

At the time that the rock layers and rich soil was being created on the telestial earth, the terrestrial and celestial earth each laid dormant. The terrestrial earth consisted of a terrestrial foundation rock layer, fully covered by terrestrial waters and terrestrial atmosphere. The celestial earth also consisted of a celestial foundation rock layer, also fully covered by celestial waters and celestial atmosphere.

At this end of the telestial creation of the rock layers and soil on the telestial earth realm, we caused all telestial life to end in this earthly realm, leaving behind the rock layers and rich soil on its surface. We replicated the telestial rich soil layers so that there were two soil layers.

We then focused our attention on the celestial creation of the earth. We brought the celestial earth out of the waters so that dry land appeared. We placed on this celestial earth the replicated telestial soil layer that had been created. We blessed the soil so that it would become celestial soil on the celestial rock foundation. At this time there was a celestial earth consisting of the rock foundation and soil, celestial waters, and celestial atmosphere on the celestial earth.

We then had our angels and celestial servants bring forth different plants, plant seeds and animals from our celestial orb and place them on the celestial earth. These propagated quickly on our celestial earth, and filled this realm with life. We created the celestial earth after the pattern of our celestial orb. It became a beautiful and glorious celestial realm.

At this time there were now four physical realms. The lower telestial realm consisted of soil and rock layers, a foundational rock layer, atmosphere and water. The terrestrial realm consisted of a foundational rock layer, atmosphere and water. The celestial realm consisted of plants, animals, soil, rock foundation, atmosphere and water. This celestial realm was fully created, beautiful and glorious. The fourth realm was the highest celestial realm where we Gods come and work from.

It was at this time that we wanted to bring Adam and Eve to the earth. However, we first wanted to create a beautiful terrestrial world for these to live in. We then chose to change the terrestrial realm into the telestial realm, and the telestial realm into the terrestrial realm. We did this change by our power of being Gods over our creations. When we made this switch, then the new telestial realm (the previous terrestrial realm) consisted of the foundation rock, water and atmosphere, all being now telestial. These telestial waters covered the rock foundation, and telestial atmosphere was above the waters.

At the time of the switch, the terrestrial realm consisted of fertile soil, the rock layers which had built up remains of dead plants and animals from millions of years, water in the oceans, rivers and clouds, and atmosphere. There was not yet live plants or animals on the terrestrial earth or waters.

We then focused our attention on finishing the creation of the terrestrial earth. We brought plants and animals from our celestial orb, and these propagated quickly on our new terrestrial earth. We followed the same pattern of creation as we did for the celestial realm on the earth, only not so glorious, but in a terrestrial state. The plants and animals soon transitioned from celestial to terrestrial entities.

Once the terrestrial earth was completed, we created a beautiful garden, eastward in Eden. Heavenly Mother then birthed Adam and Eve on the terrestrial earth in this garden of Eden (see your post 50B4 to 50B5). Here they were raised to adulthood. They were given celestial garments of light from birth so that they could always commune with us on the celestial earth. However, they had a terrestrial veil of forgetfulness over their minds so that they could not remember their previous premortal life. Your Heavenly Mother and I always dwelt in the celestial realm or highest celestial realm, but Adam and Eve lived in the terrestrial realm. See your note dated May 26, 2024 in D&C 85:7.

We commanded Adam and Eve to multiply and replenish the earth, a commandment they were not yet capable of but would be in the future. We also commanded them to tend and cultivate this garden, and to be happy in their new world together. They could eat of all the vegetables, fruits from the ground and trees in the garden but one. We gave them a commandment not to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. We said that if they ate of this fruit, they would surely die in the day they partook of it. As of that time, the earth still had its time reckoning of one day to a thousand future years of earth time. The earth in its four realms was next to our celestial orb, for it had not yet been placed in the telestial area of our vast galaxy.

Once Adam and Eve partook of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, they were removed from the garden of Eden. This was the fall of man. It was at that time that we chose to again switch the realms of the earth. We chose to make the telestial earth, which was under telestial water, to become the terrestrial earth. We brought up land out of the water on this terrestrial earth for a highway for the tribes of Israel to walk on in the last days, and much of the promised land area. The terrestrial earth then consisted of earth, water and atmosphere, with no life on its surface nor in the waters.

With the switch given above, the previous terrestrial earth outside of the garden of Eden became a telestial earth. The terrestrial plants and animals on its surface transitioned to telestial plants and animals. It was in this new telestial realm that Adam and Eve ventured forth from the garden of Eden. They could now fulfill the commandment to replenish and populate the earth with their own offspring.

The immediate garden of Eden area remained a terrestrial realm during the fall of man switch described above. The soil layers remained on this terrestrial area, whereas the other terrestrial areas after the switch, became a rock foundation, water and atmosphere only, with no soil layers or rock layers.

Shortly after the fall of man, the garden of Eden area, with its soil layer, joined the other terrestrial realm and became one with it. It was then submerged in the terrestrial waters, ready in a future day to emerge as the island of the New Jerusalem. This is why the land was muddy when it emerged out of the waters when you, Raphael, created by our power the island of the New Jerusalem: the mud was the original soil layer of the garden of Eden area. Were this soil not submerged there would have been no muddy water.

Once the terrestrial garden of Eden joined the submerged terrestrial rock foundation, we replaced where it was on the telestial earth with a replicated soil layer over the rock layers and the foundation rock that was there. This allowed all of the telestial earth to have a soil layer, a rock layer with the dead remains of plants and animals that once were on its surface, and finally a rock foundation.

Now that we are near the second coming of Jesus Christ to the earth, there will be another major change between the telestial realm and the terrestrial realm. The island of the New Jerusalem has already been brought forth from the terrestrial waters. The island, and much of the immediate surrounding area, has a soil layer so that plants and animals may abundantly grow and flourish. However, the remainder of the terrestrial land on the earth, excepting your own __ acre property, does not have soil layer.

I will now explain how the terrestrial earth will receive its soil layer and rock layer of the remains of dead plants and animals from the earliest days of telestial creation.

When Jesus comes in glory, there will be another instant switch between the telestial and terrestrial realms in this way: the telestial soil, telestial rock layers, telestial rock foundation (that has been on your fallen telestial world since the fall of man) and telestial waters will transition immediately into the terrestrial realm. This will merge with the terrestrial New Jerusalem area and your terrestrial __ acre property. At the time of this merging, the entire terrestrial earth will have a soil layer, a rock layer of the remains of the previous telestial creation, and a rock foundation. The bulk of the plants and animals that were on the telestial earth will also change into terrestrial plants and animals, and come into the new terrestrial earth. The terrestrial atmosphere will remain on this newly changed terrestrial earth.

At this same time of this switch, the previous terrestrial rock foundations and terrestrial water outside of the New Jerusalem will change to a telestial state. This changed telestial earth, consisting of the rock foundations, telestial water, and telestial atmosphere will all be consumed in the heat and fire from Jesus Christ when he comes to earth. There will be no more physical telestial anything, for all will have been consumed, including the telestial mortals on the earth. Our mortal telestial children will be ushered into the telestial realms of the dead which realm will remain through the millennium in the spirit world. The consumed physical lands, waters and atmosphere will return to elemental matter and be placed in a location outside the universe, where it was first obtained by your Heavenly Mother, Jesus Christ and me.

When the rock foundations of the terrestrial earth, with the elevated highway in the midst of the great deep, and the telestial earth switch, the elevated highway will then become telestial and will be destroyed. However, the monument created by the tribes of Israel when they entered the terrestrial realm will be preserved in the millennial day. See post 193A10-193A11.

The hidden treasures and records in the earth, that have been hid up to me, in the name of Jesus Christ, will also be preserved and transferred into the soil layers of the new terrestrial earth. These will be found by inspired men and women of God, and brought forth and shared with all those in the great millennial day when all things will be revealed.

In addition, all of the telestial pollutions that have accumulated since the fall of man will be extracted from the earth, atmosphere and water. These telestial elements will all also be consumed by the glory of Jesus Christ. Therefore, the new terrestrial earth will be fresh and clean of toxins, and will be like it was in the beginning when Adam and Eve were born on the terrestrial earth. The soils have provided well for all the living on the earth since the fall of man. Nevertheless, these will be renewed to the same state that they were in the beginning of man on the earth. Then will come to pass the words of Joseph Smith in the Article of Faith 1:10: ". . . the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal glory."

Raphael, the terrestrial earth will remain in this state until the end of the millennium. At that time, Jesus Christ will consume the terrestrial realms of the earth, including the telestial and terrestrial realms of the dead, and the earth will die. When it is resurrected, it will come forth as a glorious celestial earth, an abode for those of my elect who become couple Gods in eternity. There will no longer be telestial or terrestrial realms on the earth, but only a celestial earth. The members of the Church of the Firstborn will all receive an inheritance on this eternal celestial earth. Your own celestial earth will have moved to her place next to our celestial orb, along with other celestial earths from previous eternities that are there. All the rest of our children will go to their eternal rewards of glory. Satan and those who remain with him to the end will receive no realm of glory.

This is the great mystery of how we created the earth, and how we will continue to have our beautiful creation last into the millennial world."

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his extremely remarkable revelation to me this morning! It took me over two hours to receive. I have also reviewed and edited my words, with Heavenly Father at my side to insure all is correct. Oh, I am so grateful for such beautiful truths that he revealed to me! What a great mystery has been revealed! See also Moses 3:7 for supporting information to what Heavenly Father revealed today."

-----------

Today I prayed what my Heavenly Parent's wanted me to place in this journal entry. I wondered if I had just randomly copied over sections of my Book of Raphael into this journal entry. However, in prayer I realized from Heavenly Mother that she had inspired me to do so, for she wanted me to discuss this topic of the physical creation of the earth.

She then appeared before me and spoke to me:

"Raphael, I am pleased that you brought forth some of that which Heavenly Father previous revealed to you about the physical creation of the earth and all that is on and under her surface. It has been a complex system of creation, and may be hard for our children to comprehend. However, this was the very method we have used, as well as very similar methods that all other Gods use, in the creation of their earths in their own galaxies. The creation story in Genesis, Moses and Abraham give a representation of both the spirit creation and the physical creation that our mortal children may understand. The more complex creation of the superimposed creations of the physical earth in her telestial, terrestrial and celestial realms we have never before revealed to man. We have waited to first reveal this great mystery to you, in the era of when all things will be revealed.

D&C 101:32-34
"32 Yea, verily I say unto you, in that day when the Lord shall come (Raphael, this is your very day in which you live, just prior to the second coming of Jesus Christ), he shall reveal all things—

33 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 (all these we have revealed to you in your Book of Raphael!)—

34 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."

(my comments, from your Heavenly Mother, are in parenthesis above)

Provide some more references to other sections of your Book of Raphael on the physical creation of the earth for our interested children to study.

In your next journal entry, I wish you to discuss the spirit creation of the earth. We have revealed much of this creation event to you also.

The creation of mother earth, in the days of creation, is one of the greatest miracles that we do in each eternity! This process of creation shows our great forethought in planning for the advent of man, and for such a wonderful mortal sphere for them to experience their second estate."

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her direction to me this morning! I am happy that I followed her promptings to share the revelations from Heavenly Father on the creation of the physical earth!

I have included below some more references on the physical creations for those interested to ponder and study. Please do not accept my revelations from God without confirming that they are each true! It is so important for each of you to received the witness like I have that what God has revealed to me about the physical creation is true.

__________________________________________

January 21-22, 2026

In my previous journal entry, Heavenly Mother said I should study the spirit creation. The scripture that speaks of this most clearly is Moses 3:4-5–

"4 And now, behold, I say unto you, that these are the generations of the heaven and of the earth, when they were created, in the day that I, the Lord God, made the heaven and the earth,

5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew. For I, the Lord God, created all things, of which I have spoken, spiritually, before they were naturally upon the face of the earth. For I, the Lord God, had not caused it to rain upon the face of the earth. And I, the Lord God, had created all the children of men; and not yet a man to till the ground; for in heaven created I them; and there was not yet flesh upon the earth, neither in the water, neither in the air;"

Jesus Christ reiterated the pattern of creating all things spiritually before they were temporally:

D&C 29:31-32
"31 For by the power of my Spirit created I them; yea, all things both spiritual and temporal—

32 First spiritual, secondly temporal, which is the beginning of my work; and again, first temporal, and secondly spiritual, which is the last of my work—"

In a conversation with Heavenly Father in November 2018, he stated this:

100F10
"Your earth had been spiritually created near our own celestial world at the center of our galaxy. It had gone through the spirit creation phases spoken of in Abraham. All things had been previously created in the spirit before this new physical creation in your own solar system. We created your earth below us, and added physical elemental matter to the spirit elemental matter. When physically born, we placed it in its new position in your solar system. From this moment onward, the earth continued to be formed and created into the beautiful physical world you now live in. There were many works of preparation we needed to do, however, before man came on its surface."

Earlier that year, between April and May 2018, I wrote post 77 "Earth's Spirit Creation". It is in this post that I started reading to remember all that was revealed to me by my Heavenly Parents at that time.

I experienced a very sweet interchange with my Heavenly Mother at that time, when she explained how she and Heavenly Father created their celestial orb:

77C1-77C10
"She asked me to stand and walk with her in her orchard. I stood and she put her hands around my left arm and we strolled around, looking at the trees. I could tell she loved her trees and the budding growth on their branches. We soon stopped and faced Lake Beautiful.

Heavenly Mother then spoke:

'Raphael, please write my words.'

I wrote to this point. She then continued:

'After praying last night at the desert oasis, you wondered afterwards if you merely created the experience in your mind, like writing a fiction story or a novel. The ideas just gently came into your mind what you were doing and experiencing in your unconscious celestial state.

3. Raphael, these slight impressions were real, and you weren't dreaming or creating any of this! You did see the water plants waving in the oasis water and you did see the fish in the moonlit water. We enjoyed with you the stillness of the night there.

Even now. Your thoughts of us having been walking together in my orchard is very real and has just occurred. Trust in these gentle and subtle thoughts and let them flow into your conscious mind, for these are from your unconscious mind. The impressions are subtle but very true.'

I thanked Heavenly Mother, for I had just been wondering if I had just been making up events and actions in my mind. I told her I would just accept these all as true thoughts of what actually is happening to me.

4. Heavenly Mother spoke again:

'Raphael, when we created Lake Beautiful, we asked our newly formed celestial orb to form a large depression where this lake would occupy. Our thoughts controlled everything. The ground of this area sunk according to our desires, for our heavenly orb desired to please us, just like the plants and animals.

We formed the canals for the water flow that was to be, for the future three rivers. We created underground return caves, as we desired--all by our thoughts. We asked the orb to make rich soil where our gardens and fields would be and it was done. This was all directed by our minds, and the celestial orb that has a spirit, complied with our request. Thus we created everything on its surface and under its surface.

5. We then brought celestial seeds of all varieties and planted them in the soil of our celestial world. We communicated to them to grow. We watered them from living water that we also created from matter in space. We gave the water an intelligence, and it conformed to our desires. This was our creation process that happened in our celestial world that we now are standing upon.

6. All the materials of the universe that we have gathered and joined to the intelligences, we selected for different entities. Your Father and I brought these together in this creative process. All of these intelligences were chosen and offered the opportunity to become living entities, whether for orbs in our skies, water in our lakes, or all the various plants, animals, and finally our own children. This is how we created all things! We directed all by our thoughts and actions. Everything complied with our wishes since they knew us from the day we chose their intelligence to be part of our creations.

7. Some of the plants and animals we created in this way, but others we populated from the worlds of other Gods. We brought the seeds or animals from their celestial worlds and these propagated in our own world. The parent plants and animals were sometimes returned to their original worlds, or stayed from then on with our world. We still have free exchanges between our celestial worlds of the Gods.

From our heavenly creations, we then populated the telestial earth with its myriad of plants and animals as well. Even now, in their telestial state, these entities know us and want to obey our words and thoughts and to please us in every way they can.

8. We give you, Raphael, our authority to ask our creations to also do certain things, as we will give you directions. Use your thoughts as you did last night to the fish in your communication to them. Tell them in your thoughts that you are our representative, and that we want you to ask them to do a certain thing. You will act under our blessings and authority. You may also feel impressed at times to state this authority in the name of Jesus Christ, Our Beloved Son. He has also been given our full authority and honor.

9. Thus will all our works and creations be also subject to your directed thoughts. You should always ask in kindness, in love and with a grateful heart.

Since you act under our authority, always be sure that we have given you permission to thus ask our creations to comply with your requests. You may hear our words of direction in your mind, or feel the very subtle impression in your heart and mind--these will all be from us, your Heavenly Parents. Act in confidence and faith, and you will find our many creations love to follow your desires as you ask them in faith.'

10. I turned and faced my Heavenly Mother. I looked at her eternity eyes. They were full of confidence and love for me. I spoke:

'Thank thee, my Mother, for this great blessing! I thank thee for thy trust in me, thy son. I will only act, as I feel impressed from thee, Heavenly Father or Thy Beloved Son, Jesus Christ. I love thee so very much and feel so honored and humbled today!'

We then embraced, there in her orchard to the north of her beautiful lake!

I knew my prayer was finished. It had been amazing to me!"

-----------

I loved reading this experience again! I have had very many such experiences, on their celestial orb where they live in heaven, and on the celestial realm of the earth. It is all so remarkable and beautiful! Every time I think of these amazing encounters, I am filled with an assurance that they are true, for I feel the steady assurance of the Holy Ghost confirm these truths to me! How wonderful to have been tutored by my Heavenly Mother and my Heavenly Father so many times! They helped me greatly in understanding their world, and helped me live and meet the challenges in my mortal world.

I would never have had such remarkable experiences had I not slowed down and sought them in humble prayer. They were so gracious to have lifted me up to be with them, and explain to me, face to face, the wonders of their creations, and their views about me and their children on earth. They were always so tender and loving to me! Oh, I feel so grateful for these experiences!

In this post, Heavenly Father spoke these words to me:

77E9-77E10
"9. We have chosen to awaken you to your mission and role of Raphael, our angel in these last days on the earth, during your later years of your life. The maturity of living life, of raising a family, of having rich religious experiences, of running your own business and much more has been good preparation. We have accelerated your learning by our many revelations as well.

10. The plan we have for you, in your future years prior to the second coming of Our Beloved Son, will also be very intensive. You will one day look back at this time in your life and wonder how you received it all and did so much! It will seem to you like a dream, a flurry of fulfilling our will and receiving our revelations. This will all be done while living a normal life in mortality, among those in your community and family, as things progress in the world around you."

I feel deeply humbled to have been singled out to have such a calling, given to me directly from my Heavenly Parents! I pray that each of you reading my Book of Raphael will pray for confirmation of what God has told me. What they have revealed to me may also be revealed to you, by the enlightenment and power of the Holy Spirit.

-----------

Now, I need to get to the fundamentals of the spirit creation of the earth:

77G3-77G10
"'Raphael, come with me to your Heavenly Mother!'

3. I stood, took his hand in mine and we traveled instantly to the side of my Heavenly Mother. Heavenly Father dropped my hand and came next to Heavenly Mother by her side. He spoke again:

'Raphael, come now with us to the beginning when we created the earth upon which you live!'

Both he and Heavenly Mother extended their hands to me, I took each and we travelled back in time to a very distant place where the intelligences are located.

When we arrived, I watched what actually happened in the beginning, when our Mother Earth was created.

4. Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother worked as an amazing team. They came to an intelligence among many other intelligences. Heavenly Father spoke to this intelligence, all done in his directed thoughts:

'I and my eternal companion next to me are Gods in a distant galaxy. We have come to you today to ask you to become an earth for one of our eternities! We have offspring in our own image, and many plants and animals that we have created. All of these we wish to live on your surface as an earth in the midst of our galaxy. We have a progression of growth for these, but need an orb on which these may dwell. Would you accept our offer to create you into our earth for these, our creations?'

5. The intelligence he was talking to conveyed this message:

'Oh God, I would be so honored to become an earth for you and your eternal companion next to you. I accept your offer!'

Heavenly Father smiled on the intelligence, and then took the intelligence in his hand and then he and Heavenly Mother went to a new location. I came with them. Heavenly Mother spoke next to me:

6. 'Raphael, your Heavenly Father has the intelligence in his hand, and I will now select the material from which this intelligence will be formed into a spirit earth.'

Heavenly Mother then reached out with both her hands and scooped up in her hands something. As she did, I saw behind her a large mass of matter move. We then came back to the center of their galaxy–Heavenly Father with the intelligence in his hand and Heavenly Mother with the very large mass of matter following her, in her scooped hands.

7. They then came to one of the celestial mother earths and a celestial father earth near Kolob, at the center of their galaxy. Heavenly Father first came for a father earth, which was celestial and resurrected. He spoke to this father earth:

'My celestial father earth, I have in my hand a new intelligence we wish to have birthed into a new mother earth. Please accept this intelligence in your celestial being to transfer to a mother celestial earth.'

Heavenly Father then placed the intelligence into the celestial father earth.

8. Heavenly Mother then brought the mass of material to an adjacent celestial female earth, also resurrected, and spoke to her:

'Oh my beautiful mother earth, please accept into your being this mass of matter I have brought. This I have selected for a new spirit earth that we wish you to birth. My husband, your God, has placed the intelligence of this future earth into your celestial father earth next to you.'

9. I then saw the mass of matter enter into this celestial mother earth.

I then saw that the father earth came next to the mother earth. Their surfaces touched and the intelligence that Heavenly Father placed in the father earth moved from the father earth to the mother earth. Once transferred, the father earth moved back to his position near Kolob, the central governing start of the galaxy.

The celestial mother earth then had the intelligence and the mass of material inside of her massive orb. In time, I saw that she birthed a new spirit earth! The earth came from her celestial being, and was the same size as she was. However, this new earth was composed of spirit matter, not celestial physical matter in a resurrected state like that of the mother earth. I saw also that this new earth was a female earth.

10. Heavenly Mother then spoke to me:

'Raphael, you have seen, step by step, how your Mother Earth was created in her spirit state in the beginning. All things are created spiritually before physically or naturally, including this earth you see. This is your own Mother Earth in the beginning. She is destined to become a celestial Mother Earth like the one that birthed her.'

I then thanked my kind and loving Heavenly Parents for showing me this wonderful process of the birth of our Mother Earth! All of this was so completely new to me, and also seemed so true and very reasonable! I then ended my prayer and started my Saturday."

-----------

The intelligence and elemental matter that formed the spirit earth was ultimately formed and birthed by a celestial earth. That was a very mind-blowing thing to me! This same process happens for all plants and animals, air and water! Here is another interesting tidbit on how many intelligences are in each creation:

77G12-77G16
"I drank twice from the circling waters until I felt very clear, even to my toes. I knew my mind was also clarified. I then knelt back by the bench, facing the circling water. I asked for my Heavenly Parents to come. I then saw Heavenly Mother come alone down the stream, above the water, and turn with the circling waters at the same rate coming to me as the waters flowed. She came to the point above the shore of the waters, facing me. She was smiling and happy.

13. I felt pleased she was happy. This boosted my spirits! I asked that she share with me. Then Heavenly Mother spoke to me:

'Raphael, you might wonder how this living water in the stream and waterfall system differs from the other living water in our celestial world. These waters are controlled by the same single intelligence that we have place into the living water when we created it. The water at the desert oasis, this mountain stream system, the three rivers coming from the fountain of living water, and Lake Beautiful and all other sources of water in our kingdom are all the same entity with one intelligence. This living water knows what each part of it does, even though separated.

14. This same principle is followed for our celestial orb–all ground, rocks, soil, mountains, sand, forest soil and controlled by one intelligence that we have created. This is the same in your world with Mother Earth. Mother Earth is the single entity that controls all rocks, mountains, substructure of the earth and all land masses. Mother Earth controls all of these. The waters on the earth, whether in the lakes, oceans, streams, or atmosphere are also controlled by one living entity of water that we have created with its own intelligence.

15. Therefore, Raphael, when you ask water on earth to stop or move, or a rock or a mountain to move, these need to be addressed to the water intelligence or the Mother Earth intelligence, respectively. You have to be specific which entity to ask to do our desire when we ask you to do a certain thing.

For living plants and animals, each living entity has its own spirit and intelligence separate from another. For example, a fir tree has its own spirit and intelligence but a new fir tree that came up from seed next to it has different spirit and intelligence. All living entities have a spirit and intelligence, for all things were created spiritually before naturally on the earth. This is also true in heaven.

16. In our premortal world, where our offspring dwell, they dwell both among spirit entities like plants and animals, and on our physical celestial orb which has both a spirit and a physical component, in a resurrected state. Our celestial world is all spiritual and physical, in a resurrected state, used for each eternity. Those in the current eternity may be in their premortal spirit state only. These include our own offspring or the plants and animals that will be coming to the earth with our children during earth's temporal existence.'"

-----------

God then told me about how the plants and animals were propagated, both in their spirit premortal state, and then later in their mortal state on the earth:
77H2-77H6, 77H9-77H10
"Heavenly Father spoke first:

'Raphael, you have learned in the past two days more about how to ask living entities in our world and on earth how to move or change as we direct you. You have learned how we created some of these entities, each having a spirit and intelligence. We have explained also how our celestial world is a living resurrected orb, along with its water and some plants and animals that are all resurrected. This is where we have each eternity begin and live, with their spirits and intelligences only, in their premortal state. This is where our own spirit children who are spirits came prior to coming to earth.

All is perfectly created for our own purposes! All our celestial creations and world love to obey and follow our will in all things.

3. When we created our physical earth, we populated it with physical plants and animals. We then came ourselves and gave birth to our first children, Adam and Eve, in the flesh, in their physical states. We therefore had given birth to these two children first in their spirit form only and then in their physical form. This was all done on our earth that was in a terrestrial state at the time. All the plants and animals in the beautiful Garden of Eden were also terrestrial, populated from our resurrected plants and animals in our celestial world. These resurrected plants and animals do this for each earth and eternity that we create. This is all done so that our children, our own offspring, may have a mortal experience on an earth.

4. Once Adam and Eve fell, and were cast out of our beautiful garden, they entered the lone and dreary world. They began bearing the souls of men and women whom we had planned to come to earth for their mortal probation. The earth, with its myriad of plants and animals, water and other single entities like the air or atmosphere, all fell to a telestial state, just like man.

These entities all had a spirit and intelligence but they were transformed to a lower state, from at first a celestial state in their spirit only form, to a terrestrial state when we created man on the earth and then finally to a telestial state after man fell. Those entities still had intelligence, and knew who we, their creators were, in all of their celestial, terrestrial and telestial states. They still recognized our voice, for this was still clear to them. However, to our own children, our voice was much more unclear, for this is how we planned their probation.

5. Therefore, when we ask our earth, or water, or any entity on the earth, to do something, other than our own children, these hear our voice and always obey, being eager to do our will. They fully remember when we asked them, as intelligences to become our creation in the beginning. They are still very aware of our actions and kindness to them. They always want to please us, their Gods and creators.

6. When we give you an assignment to ask these to change or to do our will, they will always comply, as long as they recognize you are acting in our behalf and with our authority in doing our will. You should always state that we have directed you and that it is by our authority and will that what you ask is to be done. These will also recognize you, as our angel with our direction, to do this thing we ask. These know you, for you have worked with us also in your premortal state doing these same things, acting in our behalf as our holy angel. This same thing has been done by all our angels."

From Heavenly Mother:
"9. Our many creations always follow us because we are their creators and they want to please us and fulfill our desires. They are so grateful for what we did for them in their day of creation, and what we continue to do for them.

However, our own offspring, our children, mostly do not follow us. We have given them their agency, so they have full choice whether to honor us, keep our commands and to serve us, their Heavenly Parents. Nevertheless, whether they hearken to our voice or not, we still reach out to them, seeking to elevate them, one by one, to the highest level of happiness that they are willing to receive.

10. For those of our posterity on earth who desire to follow our whisperings and to listen to our still small voice, we will lead them along, step by step. We will lead those who really want to keep our commandments to the end, to a place with us in our celestial worlds above. They will be able to be Gods as we are, and to create their own worlds and bear their own children in eternity. Our greatest joy is to bring to pass their eternal happiness and help them partake of eternal life and exaltations like we live.'"

-----------

I wanted to find more information about the how the intelligence of God's creations is actually chosen by God, and then placed in a celestial resurrected entity on the celestial orb, where God lives. I found this very interesting post from May, 2017 that relates to the spirit creation:

50I2-50I11
"2. From Heavenly Mother:

'Raphael, the creation of a living entity from an elemental intelligence and matter, both of which are unorganized in the immensity of space, is one of the primary abilities of the Gods. The process was discovered by our first Godly parents, and this same process continues with us, their posterity of the Gods.

3. This process entails God approaching an unorganized intelligence, and receiving from this intelligence, permission to create or organize it with matter, into a living entity. These intelligences already know of the grandeur of God, and all sustain us in all of our actions. We act as Gods in unity, according to law and order.

4. Almost always, these intelligences accept our offer to organize them into a class of existing living organisms. For you, Raphael, we approached you when you were just an unorganized intelligence. You accepted our offer for us to create you into one of our beloved children, as a spirit child of God. We told you that we would add celestial matter, to your elemental intelligence, and give birth to your infant spirit. You expressed deep gratitude for this opportunity to become like God.

5. I conceived of your Heavenly Father, and your intelligence was implanted by the Father into my womb. There your intelligence grew, just like the fertilized seed that grows into a human fetus in mortality. In your case, the seed was really your intelligence, which was of finite size and structure. This intelligence was only accessible to us, since we are God.

6. The celestial matter that was added to your intelligence in my womb, came from my resurrected body. You are truly from my body, and part of me! As more matter was added, you developed into a male spirit embryo, much like the process that happens on earth when a woman is pregnant.

7. When ready, I gave birth to you in the exact manner that my daughters give birth in their physical mortal state on earth. You came forth as a new infant spirit baby. I nursed you, in the same way as mothers do on earth.

8. You grew up in our nursery area in our holy temple, under the care of your Father and I. You were our fourth child in this current eternity. Your birth was planned, as the fourth male child, destined to be our third archangel, as you proved yourself to be obedient to our teachings.

When you were in the nursery, you grew into manhood. We taught you your first lessons as a beloved spirit son. You responded so well to our teachings, and we were very pleased with your progress.

9. When you reached your full spirit size and stature, you were gradually introduced to our celestial world. This was a marvelous experience for you.

It was thus for each of our spirit sons and daughters, born of me, in the premortal celestial realms. We loved each one of our children, and favor those who hearken to our teachings.

10. For those elemental intelligences that were chosen by us to become animals and plants, a similar process took place. We approached each one, or as a group of intelligences, and received permission to organize them into a class of living spirit entities. Resurrected animals or plants were given the intelligence, and procreated these into the likeness of themselves. For plants, these were seeds, and for animals, these were live offspring, eggs, or other procreative ways that we have devised that are repeated on earth. These intelligences also had added celestial matter in creating a spirit animal or plant, from their resurrected parent. These then grew as our spirit creations in our premortal celestial world.

11. A similar process occurs for the earths and other planets we create. All of our creations are first created in the spirit, before being created physically. It is an amazing process, all possible because we are God with this creative ability and keys.'"

-----------

As I was reading in Moses 3:4-5, I found some references to my posts on the spirit creation that I wanted to copy below. These are very enlightening to me!

November 13, 2024
"I was relaxing yesterday and wondered about the details of the spirit creation of the earth. I have previously written about the telestial, terrestrial and celestial physical creations. However, I knew that the earth was spiritually created in the beginning also. Was this one spirit creation for each of these realms, or was there a separate spirit creation for each of the telestial, terrestrial and celestial realms? I also knew that the creation of all living things that would populate the earth were created in heaven, in a premortal spirit state. This is explained by Heavenly Mother below in 89C11-89C14. However, what about the earth itself, and her spirit creation? Weren't there the three realms of telestial, terrestrial and celestial that were created separately in the spirit, even before the earth was created physically in these same realms?

I came with these questions before my Heavenly Father yesterday. He asked me to write his words as he would give them to me. However, before this happened, I read all about what he and Heavenly Mother had revealed to me previously. When done, I was too tired to effectively write his words. I feel refreshed today, and humbly pray again that he will speak to me on this subject. I am ready to receive his words, now being in a meditative and quiet state, early in the morning before the family arises.

Here are his words that now come into my mind:

"Raphael, it is pleasing to me that you have prepared so well to receive my words, my revelations to your heart and mind, about the details of the spirit creation of the earth upon which you live.

Once all of our creations that would populate the earth were created in their celestial spirit state on our celestial orb, as previously explained by your Heavenly Mother to you (see 50I10-50I11 above), we then created the earth in her spirit state, even before she was created naturally, or physically.

The way we created the spirit earth was this: the intelligence of the earth was selected by both your Heavenly Mother and I. We also obtained elemental matter, and brought these both to two of our resurrected celestial earths: one of our female earths and one of our male earths. We told these resurrected earths to create a new earth in their image, of the same size and shape as they were.

We brought the intelligence to the male resurrected earth, and he took it, came near to the female earth, and he transferred this intelligence, along with some of his own celestial material to her, in a procreation process, approved by our first parent Gods. The female earth then had some of the physical substance from the male earth, plus the intelligence we had chosen, which constituted the seed of the new earth. We gave this mother earth most of the elemental matter, so she could use this to create the new earth. We also gave to the male earth enough of this same elemental matter to replace what he had removed from his own earth when he transferred to the mother earth some of his own substance.

The seed of your new female earth was then developed, along with the elemental matter, in this celestial resurrected mother earth until your new spirit earth was ready to be born. In this development process, the mother earth transferred to your new earth the knowledge of how to function and what would happen to her in her future life. This was akin to a procreation process, or pregnancy in others of our creations. This new earth was to become your mother earth upon which you live.

Once this new spirit earth was fully developed, she was born in a spirit state. She came forth from the celestial mother earth in the same size and shape as her celestial mother earth, but in a spirit state only. When she exited her mother earth, she had four new spirit realms: a telestial, terrestrial, celestial and a highest celestial realm. These realms were all void of animal and plant life, and void of an atmosphere and water. However, each realm had refined material substance which constituted the spirit foundational rock substance in each of the four realms.

This birth process of your spirit earth was done in the skies above our celestial orb where the mother earth was rotating around our celestial orb. This is the location of all of earths from each eternity, who all rotate around our celestial orb and look like stars in the sky at night, as seen from our celestial orb. When your mother earth was born, she rotated in the skies next to her own mother and father earth.

It was in this state of your spirit earth that your Heavenly Mother, Immanuel and I came to the highest celestial realms of this new earth. This is the realm reserved for us Gods. We discussed our plan for the earth, and began completing the spirit creation in these four realms. We first brought water and atmosphere to her surface, in a similar procreative process created from water and atmosphere from our own celestial orb. These were each birthed by the creative process that was instituted from the beginning by our first parent Gods for these entities. Each of the new water and new atmosphere on the spirit earth also had its own intelligence and elemental matter. The new spirit water came into the four spirit realms of your earth, all controlled by one intelligence. The new spirit atmosphere also came into the four spirit realms on earth, also controlled by one intelligence. At that time, the earth had three intelligent and functioning beings: the earth, the water, and the atmosphere, each dwelling in four spirit realms.

Your mother earth was next ready to have Immanuel, our chosen firstborn son in the spirit from this eternity, to act under our direction to complete the earth's spirit creation. This was all done in the skies above our celestial orb on the spirit earth. Spirit plants and spirit animals, birthed from resurrected celestial entities of their same species, were brought to your earth in her four spirit realms. These beautified and greatly enhanced the earth in its spirit state. These all populated these four realms so that these spirit realms would be glorious and lovely to those who would dwell or visit therein.

When the earth was later physically created, the same celestial resurrected parent beings that created or bore their spirit offspring, also bore these offspring again in the physical realm. The premortal spirits of these entities were placed into the newborn physical entities, so that the spirit became part of the physical body or entity. For example, the new physical water contained additional elemental matter plus the premortal spirit water that had been earlier created. A new physical oak tree contained temporal elements plus the premortal spirit oak tree that had been previously created in the spirit creation. Our first temporal children, Adam and Eve, were birthed by Heavenly Mother as physical immortal children, with their premortal spirits inside their bodies. They possessed tangible, physical bodies of flesh and spirit, with no blood until after their fall into mortality. This same pattern of flesh and spirit creation occurred for each plant and animal.

After the fall of man, all the physical creation also changed into a mortal, fallen condition. When our children, plants and animals were to die in their mortal bodies, then their physical bodies were to decompose into the physical earth, and their eternal spirits were to go into the same spirit realm on the earth that had at first been created. The telestial and terrestrial spirit realms of the dead became part of the telestial and terrestrial realms. Our children would go to an area in these realms, awaiting their resurrection.

None of our spirit children were allowed to go into the celestial spirit realm when they died unless they had a mission that required them to do so. This celestial spirit realm was reserved for the spirit angels and other celestial spirit servants to minister from to those on the earth. The highest celestial realm was reserved for use of us who are Gods.

The celestial physical earth was created after the death of Jesus Christ and prior to the creation of the physical celestial New Jerusalem. We planted a celestial forest and celestial resource area from which physical materials for the New Jerusalem Temple and grounds were to be constructed.

The creation of the terrestrial and telestial physical earth has been revealed to you previously by your Heavenly Mother and I."

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his new revelation on the creation of the earth, particularly in the spirit realms! I received this new information with joy! I then confirmed in a prayer that what I had written was all true and from my Heavenly Father. I confirmed this again with Heavenly Mother tonight in my prayer.

I have included some references to the spirit and physical creations below. These are very enlightening also, and confirm what I received today. I did not read these prior to receiving today's revelation from Heavenly Father. The information below is very congruent with what I received about the spirit creation in the four realms of glory.

50D6-50D7, from both Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother: "The physical earth [from Heavenly Father on November 13, 2024: this should state "telestial mortal earth"] has never been elevated to a celestial state before, but was created in both the telestial and terrestrial spheres. This is the environment of the physical creation of the earth.

The introduction of celestial element to the [mortal] earth was first done this past Sunday, 4-23-2017, where living celestial water was brought by the holy angels from the celestial Lake Beautiful, and poured into the underground telestial reservoir. The celestial gold and silver pails were placed on the telestial earth, to merge into the elements there. This is the beginning of the birth of the [mortal] earth to a celestial state, isolated for the millennium to the New Jerusalem area where Jesus Christ will reign. Ultimately, the earth will die and be resurrected an entire celestial earth, to be located next to the celestial world where God dwells."

89C11-89C14: "Heavenly Mother then appeared at my side, also looking at the circling waters. I wondered what she saw there and what she was looking at in the water.

Heavenly Mother then spoke:

'Raphael, I am looking into the living water at a plant and a fish in the water. These currently reside here in my upper garden stream. They love to live here! When these fish and plants were created, they had first a spirit creation here in our celestial world. They were both living in a stream in another part of our orb where all were spirit creations. Then this fish and plant came to an earth like yours for a mortal experience. The fish was hatched from a mother fish egg and the plant was propagated in a mountain stream on earth. They subsequently died and their spirits came to the world of spirits around their earth. The spirit world was populated by many of our own children awaiting their resurrection.

In the time of the celestial resurrection of our beloved children in the last eternity that was completed, this fish and plant were also resurrected to a celestial glory. They were both placed in this mountain stream by myself at the end of that eternity, before your eternity began.

Raphael, we change our celestial orb around for each new eternity. The temple, our heavenly home, remains the same structure, but we may change the inside rooms to meet our desires. We also change the surface of our celestial orb to bring variety and change. What does not change is our great love for our children who come forth in each eternity! We also don't change our basic patterns of creating all things spiritually before they were naturally upon the earth.

Moses 3:5

"And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew. For I, the Lord God, created all things, of which I have spoken, spiritually, before they were naturally upon the face of the earth."

All of our creations, including plants, animals and even orbs and planets, were created spiritually before we created them naturally on their earth. They were also resurrected to a level of other celestial, terrestrial or telestial glory. They accompany our own children who received their salvation to their eternal worlds of glory, some to celestial, terrestrial and telestial glories. In each of these worlds, our plants and animals are very pleased to exist and continue with them and desire to bless our own children in their worlds of glory!'

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her discussion of this fish and plant and how they progressed. I was enlightened, as always, by her revelation!

I looked again down into the water and looked at this fish and the water plant. I then realized these were each created spiritually, naturally and then resurrected while I was still in my intelligence state! These creations were from the previous eternity!

I then looked into the eyes of my Heavenly Mother. She has been through countless eternities herself, with my Heavenly Father! She certainly knows what she has repeatedly done for each eternity. I felt so blessed to have her wealth of knowledge and experience!"

-----------

I found more on the spirit and physical creation of the earth under Moses 3:4-5.

100G2-100G8: "Heavenly Mother spoke:

'Raphael, we both came to you last night and took you to the earth in the beginning of its physical creation. This morning you had read about the spiritual birth of your own female earth. She had spirit elemental matter and intelligence. She was spiritually created at that time and was nigh unto our celestial orb.

We had spirit seeds planted on our spirit earth and brought forth all of our spirit creations on our spirit earth, just like we would repeat again one day on our physical earth.

When all things had been created spiritually on the earth, we then removed these and brought them to our celestial orb. The spirit earth was then ready for her birth physically. All the spirit atmosphere, spirit waters, all her spirit plants and animals were brought to our very large celestial orb and the earth was again as she was in her primeval days of her spirit creation, void of all other life on her spirit surface.

Your Heavenly Father and I then brought our Beloved Son, Immanuel, at this time, and came to our spirit earth. We asked our spirit earth to come with us to her new place in our galaxy. We took her to your solar system where she is now. We all three then traveled past the boundaries of the universe where is located the intelligences and elemental matter. We left the earth in her new solar system. We asked our Beloved Son to scoop elemental matter from this location outside the boundaries of the universe, done with our power of being Gods. Immanuel was not ordained to be a God, so he had to act with our power.

Immanuel scooped up elemental matter and held this in his hands, through our power. We then all three returned to our spiritual earth with the new elemental matter held by Immanuel.

The Father then asked our son, Immanuel, to place all of the new elemental matter on the spirit earth. Immanuel did so. The Father then spoke these words:

"Our Mother Earth, our Beloved Son Immanuel has placed a large amount of new elemental matter on your being. This is required for physical birth. I now command all of the new elemental matter to disperse evenly over your entire spirit being, matching up with every particle of your own spirit elemental matter."

At that point, the new elemental matter dispersed into the earth, fully spreading out entirely on and in the earth.

The Father then continued:

"Now that the new elemental matter is dispersed, I command this new elemental matter to become physical molten rock in the composition I desire."

At that moment, the entire earth became molten rock, taking the exact shape and size of the spirit earth. The earth had been spiritually created and birthed before by one of our celestial spirit earths near our own celestial home. Now, for the first time, your Mother Earth had also physical elemental matter, created into molten rock. The earth had full control of her spirit earth matter and now her physical molten rock matter. She consisted of one intelligence, and spirit matter and physical matter. She was without form on her surface and was spherical in her overall shape. Her size and mass were those she currently has today.

We then asked our Beloved Son, Immanuel, to set the times and seasons of the earth, by our power of being Gods. He then commanded the earth to rotate around the physical sun in her current path and orbit. He then commanded the earth to rotate so as to cause her surface to intermittently be light and dark, from the sun at the center of the solar system. Immanuel then commanded the moon to rotate in an orbit around the new physical earth. We all three watched until all of the commands of Immanuel were fulfilled according to our desires.

This is the state that your Heavenly Father and I brought you to the earth last night in your prayer. You saw the molten earth below us, newly physically created and placed in her current position in your own solar system.

Raphael, this was the first day of creation for our physical earth. We will return tonight to continue sharing with you the physical creation of your earth.'

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her detailed description of how the earth was physically created in the beginning. I had no idea before how this was done. I was glad to see that Jesus Christ, then named Immanuel, had created the physical earth by the power of his Heavenly Parents who were next to him. I was impressed by all of these details!

I told my Heavenly Parents how pleased I was to receive the story of the creation of my beautiful earth upon which I live! I told them I loved them so very much too. I then closed my prayer and started a new day."

100G10-100H16: "Heavenly Father spoke to me:

'Raphael, your Heavenly Mother shared with you details of the physical birth of your Mother Earth. This mystery has never been revealed to man and was reserved to come forth in these last days when all things are to be revealed. We created the earth in the beginning through our Beloved Son, Immanuel, early in the premortal phase of our own family of spirit children.

The story of the creation in Abraham chapters 4-5 states that the Gods created the heavens and the earth. The Gods consisted of your Heavenly Mother, our Son Immanuel (soon to be a God when he was to be named Jehovah), and me, your Heavenly Father. There were seven times or periods that we created the earth, both in a spirit state and then in a physical state. The two creation stories in your scriptures (Abraham Chapters 4-5 and Moses Chapter 2) speak of this division of both the spirit creation and the physical creation. We patterned the days of creation in both the spirit creation and the physical creation to be the same. The spirit creation of the earth is more clearly recorded in the Abraham account and the physical creation is more clearly record in the Moses account. The spirit creation was done on the spirit earth and on our celestial orb. When the seventh time was concluded in the spirit creation we, the Gods and creators, had formed all the generations of the heaven and the earth.

Abraham 5:4-5 (Heavenly Father's comments in parenthesis)-

"And the Gods came down (from the celestial orb) and formed these the generations of the heavens (all the atmosphere and birds that fly, and all that is above the earth) and of the earth, when they were formed in the day that the Gods formed the earth and the heavens (in its spirit state).

According to all that which they had said concerning every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew (this was the spirit creation, for all the generations of every plant and animal and our own children had been created in this premortal state prior to coming to the physical earth for their mortal experience); for the Gods had not caused it to rain upon the earth when they counseled to do them, (or create them) and had not formed a man to till the ground (all men and women were created first spiritually before the first man Adam came to till the earth, in the physical creation of man)."

Now I will return to the first day of the physical creation:

Moses 2:2

"And the earth was without form, and void; and I caused darkness to come up upon the face of the deep; and my Spirit moved upon the face of the water; for I am God."

The above description followed the molten earth after it cooled. The earth at that time was crusted over, and was without form and void. There was not yet atmosphere or water on its surface. We three Gods (including Immanuel who was to be a God soon), then created the water. We took again elemental matter and brought the spirit water that we had previously created, and placed the matter on the spirit water. We followed the same procedure as we did in the physical creation of the earth in creating the physical water. The scripture above states that the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the water, for the water completely covered the physical earth's crust that had cooled.

The earth was thus in her current solar system, in her set times and rotations, and she was immersed in water. The sun shone upon the earth at different times as it rotated between day and night. This ended the first day of the physical creation of the earth.

In the second day or time of the physical creation, we divided the water. We brought elemental matter and brought the spirit atmosphere to the earth. We added the matter to the spirit atmosphere and created physical atmosphere. The atmosphere then became more heated over the regions near the equator than over the water at the poles from the heating of the sun, and weather patterns and ocean currents. This is the meaning of the great waters under the firmament (oceans, lakes) from the waters above the firmament (water vapor in the clouds and precipitation that falls on the earth and the large bodies of water).

The firmament was the physical atmosphere which we called heaven, for it was above the physical waters and earth. The waters were now divided, the greater part remained in the ocean and the lesser part evaporated into the atmosphere.

Here now is the scriptural account of the second day of the physical creation on the earth:

Moses 2:6-8

"And again, I, God, said: Let there be a firmament (atmosphere) in the midst of the water (the water in the ocean and the water in the atmosphere that had evaporated), and it was so, even as I spake; and I said: Let it divide the waters from the waters (waters in the oceans and waters in the clouds in the atmosphere); and it was done;

And I, God, made the firmament (atmosphere) and divided the waters, yea, the great waters under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament, and it was so even as I spake.

And I, God, called the firmament Heaven (the atmosphere or the sky above the large waters); and the evening and the morning were the second day."

At the end of the second day the earth was still fully immersed in the ocean waters, and the atmosphere and a smaller portion of the waters as clouds were above the ocean waters. There was not yet dry land.

On the third day of creation we commanded the earth to rise up above the ocean waters to cause dry land to appear. At this primeval day, there was one large land mass that appeared with the ocean waters receding to a smaller deeper ocean. There were many lakes on the land, rivers and streams. There were mountains, plains and all sorts of topography on the dry land.

Moses 2:9-10

"And I, God, said: Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together into one place, and it was so; and I, God, said: Let there be dry land, and it was so.

And I, God, called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters, called I the Sea; and I, God, saw that all things which I had made were good."

This was the state of the earth before plants were introduced on the surface of the earth. There was rocky ground for it had recently been hardened as it cooled, and been immersed in the water. There was no vegetation yet on the earth or in the waters. The only living entities were Mother Earth, the water, and the atmosphere.

Raphael, we will continue tomorrow in describing how our plants and animals were introduced on the earth, all in preparation for mankind, our beloved children.'

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his clear and detailed words on the physical creation of the earth, up to the part of the third day of creation. I said I was very enlightened by what he and Heavenly Mother had revealed to me!

I then saw my Heavenly Parents return to the lake and exit back into the sky. I closed my prayer and got ready for bed.

H. R's Personal Journal Entry, November 11, 2018, Sunday

I felt this new morning to come again to the lake at God's Loving Healing Center. I knelt by the bench facing the lake. I asked again for my Heavenly Parents to come. They both appeared to me again in bright light that came upon the lake. They then each walked up to me, holding hands. They were magnificent to behold, with beautiful matching robes! They came up to me, standing a little higher above the ground. They separated and Heavenly Mother asked me to stand and join them. I stood and took their hands, facing their same direction.

We were next over the planet earth in the beginning. I could see the ocean shore, with waves crashing upon the land. We then traveled over the dry land a little inland. I saw a few lakes and rivers. I saw some clouds in the sky. The sun was shining on the rocky land.

Heavenly Mother then spoke:

'Raphael, we will continue sharing with you the events of the physical creation. You see the dry land with the lakes and rivers and streams. The clouds often rain on the rocky ground. There are no plants on the earth. This is the third day of creation that we are witnessing below us.

We then brought living physical seeds and living physical plants upon the earth. These were created in our celestial orb, propagated from celestial resurrected plants and brought to the earth by our spirit children whom we had asked to plant these on the earth.

Moses 2:11-13

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

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

And the evening and the morning were the third day."

Raphael, we enlisted many of our spirit children to plant these celestial seeds and plants on the earth. The plants grew quickly in the rocky soil, for it was rich in minerals. The sun shone, the rain fell, and the plants grew. Soon our earth was blanketed by vegetation! It became lush and forested in many areas. There were all sorts of plants. These plants were planted as celestial plants, for they were the offspring of our resurrected celestial plants on our celestial orb. They grew, however, on the telestial earth, for we had created this earth in that state once it came into your current solar system. The plants became telestial plants, for the nutrients, water and atmosphere they used were all of the telestial order. The sun and moon were also of the same telestial order. The light and heat coming to the earth from the sun was created from light matter that fell into the sun and was ignited and then shone forth from that very hot star. The very solar system of the earth was located in our galaxy in the outer regions of our galaxy where all planets and stars are telestial.

We concluded the third day or time period of creation with the earth and waters filled with plant life.

The scriptural account of the physical creation next describes that we placed lights in the firmament (skies) above the earth during the fourth day. It states we created the greater light to rule the day (the sun) and the lesser light to rule the night (the moon). It also states that the stars were made. (see Moses 2:14-19) We had already created the sun, the moon and all the stars before the earth was created physically. This region of our galaxy had been created much earlier and had been the residence of previous earths in this epoch.

However, we included the creation of this region of our galaxy as the fourth day of creation to emphasize to those who would read the creation story that we had created all of these stars, moons and planets that are in the heavens. These were created for the day and night, for signs and seasons, for days and years (see Moses 2:14).

At the conclusion of the fourth day of creation, our earth was fully ready for animals to come on its surface and in the waters. Your Heavenly Father and I will continue today to instruct you how this all really happened.'

I thanked my Heavenly Parents for their visit to me today and for bringing me to the earth during its physical creation phase. I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her description. I said I was so pleased that they were revealing all of this to me, their son on the earth! I then lost my connection with my vision and concluded my prayer. I started my new Sabbath day.

After church-
During the sacrament, I came again to the lake at God's Loving Healing Center. When the sacrament was blessed, I saw my Heavenly Parents upon the lake in great light again like I had recently seen them. I made my covenant at the sacrament after the priest blessed the bread. Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother walked then walked up to me while I was kneeling next to the bench.

After I partook of the bread, Heavenly Father spoke to me:

'Raphael, your Heavenly Mother and I accept your covenant to take upon you the name of our Beloved Son, to always remember us, and to keep our commandments.'

He then extended his hand to me. I stood and we were again immediately above the earth at the end of the fourth day.

He spoke again:

'Raphael, during the fifth day we placed animals of the waters in the sea and the lakes and rivers. They came from celestial parents as grown animals to the earth as a male and female of every kind, one of each. They soon became part of the telestial earth and brought forth abundance after their own kind.

We also brought all animals that fly above the earth-birds, flying insects, and winged animals of all kinds. These also came as a male and female of each kind and brought offspring forth abundantly. These became telestial creatures as well, after they had been in the telestial environment for a short time.

On the sixth day we brought forth all land animals:

Moses 2:25

"And I, God, made the beasts of the earth after their kind, and cattle after their kind, and everything which creepeth upon the earth after his kind; and I, God, saw that all these things were good."

These animals were also the offspring of celestial resurrected creatures on our own celestial orb. All of the large animals that you call dinosaurs came forth at this time on the earth. They quickly propagated their own kind in this telestial world.

The sixth time period of creation also included the creation of man. However, we delayed bringing forth man and some other plants and animals that are especially suited for man. The first plants and animals we brought forth in the fifth and sixth days of creation were in the primeval earth to create the soils of the earth and areas like the large coal deposits in the earth. These primeval creations existed in this state for many millions of years. This history is recorded in rock history layers of the earth.

Our intention with the primeval state of the earth was to create the entire rich environment, the soils and the fuel deposits in the earth, all in preparation for the advent of man.

Just before the advent of man, we had the earth fully prepared. We caused almost all life on the earth then to die, so that we could introduce new plants and animals especially suited for man. It was at this time, when the primeval world was nearly at its end, that Lucifer and his hosts were cast into the earth. When we came and brought forth Adam and Eve, the devils were restricted from our terrestrial Garden of Eden. The environment outside of the Garden of Eden was telestial, with hardly any life remaining. This was where Satan and his minions dwelt.'

Later at night-I had written the above entry just moments ago. I am again in my front room and it is past 10:00 p.m.
I am now again ready for further connection with my Heavenly Parents. I came to the lake at God's Loving Healing Center. As I came to the shore facing the lake, I came upon my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother again! I came to my knees before them. I thanked them for sharing with me so much about the physical creation of the earth.

Heavenly Mother then spoke:

'Raphael, the sixth period of creation ended with the creation of man. We have addressed this with you previously. Your Heavenly Father and I came to the Garden of Eden and I bore our two children in their physical states, Adam and Eve. They grew up as our children in our beautiful gardens. When they were of age and adults, we married them as husband and wife. We commanded them to multiply and replenish the earth. However, they were innocent and could not yet fulfill our commandment until they became telestial beings, the first new flesh on the earth in their new world.

This is the last revelation of this series where your Heavenly Father and I come to you and describe the stages of the physical creation of the earth. All things were created for the advent of our beloved children who would come forth for their mortal experience on earth. The earth was prepared sufficiently with beautiful lands, rich fuel deposits, plants and animals of all kinds to bless mankind and enhance the environment.'"

I have written and copied so much above in my journal entry, I'm afraid it might be very difficult for people to read and get through at one time. I know there is much more to the creation of the earth, and all things on it, both from a spirit and temporal perspective, but what I have shared above is the overall way it was accomplished. I have put links in to the scriptures and posts where more information may be flushed out.

In prayer this morning, I feel that my Heavenly Parents are pleased with what I have share. I am going to therefore publish this journal entry today. I feel so overwhelmingly happy to know some of these details of the creation experience! I thank my Heavenly Parents for their remarkable revelations to me over the years!

Again, to the reader, please do not take my word for any of this, but instead petition your Heavenly Parents in the name of Jesus Christ, to enlighten your mind and to confirm to your soul the truthfulness of what I have received. I know the Holy Ghost, who is Heavenly Mother, will bear witness to you of the truth of all things (Moroni_10:5).

__________________________________________

January 23-24, 2026

Today as I prayed in the early morning, I distinctly felt the presence of my Father in Heaven, standing before me! I expressed my deep gratitude to be in his presence again, and to be his son. This is such a privilege to be in his image, and to be brought back into his presence again, even while in mortality!

I asked what he wanted me to do. He said he wanted me to find a scripture that he would expound on, in my standard works. He said he would guide me to that scripture. I then opened up my computer, and found this page where the scriptures were shown. I prayed in my mind which book to click on, and then listened to the voice of the Spirit, to be led by my Father. I very soon came to this verse in the Book of Moses, in the Pearl of Great Price:

Moses 3:5-9
"5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew. For I, the Lord God, created all things, of which I have spoken, spiritually, before they were naturally upon the face of the earth. For I, the Lord God, had not caused it to rain upon the face of the earth. And I, the Lord God, had created all the children of men; and not yet a man to till the ground; for in heaven created I them; and there was not yet flesh upon the earth, neither in the water, neither in the air;

6 But I, the Lord God, spake, and there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.

7 And I, the Lord God, formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul, the first flesh upon the earth, the first man also; nevertheless, all things were before created; but spiritually were they created and made according to my word.

8 And I, the Lord God, planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there I put the man whom I had formed.

9 And out of the ground made I, the Lord God, to grow every tree, naturally, that is pleasant to the sight of man; and man could behold it. And it became also a living soul. For it was spiritual in the day that I created it; for it remaineth in the sphere in which I, God, created it, yea, even all things which I prepared for the use of man; and man saw that it was good for food. And I, the Lord God, planted the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and also the tree of knowledge of good and evil."

After writing to this point, I felt that I needed to find what my Father and Mother had already said about these verses in my Book of Raphael. Once I had done this, and written my impressions in this journal post, then I should ask further light and knowledge about them from my Father who was before me. Before I proceeded, I asked my Heavenly Father if this was the correct approach. Here is what he said:

"Raphael, you have done well to select the verse that I wish to expound. Your Heavenly Mother and I want to copy over sections of the Book of Raphael about the creation of Adam and Eve, our very first children who populated the earth. Once you have researched this, and have copied some of what you find into this journal entry, then come back and call upon me for further enlightenment."

I thanked my Father for his direction, and said that I would do this.

-----------

Here is an entry from Heavenly Father that relates directly to Adam and Eve.

92B2-92B16, from Heavenly Father: "Raphael, I will continue explaining to you how we have set up our creations and their capabilities.

Most of our creations, the plants and animals, water, earth and air, were all created in the spirit by a birth or propagation process from the same species. These parents need to be resurrected to a celestial state to give birth and propagate their own offspring. These offspring may be spirits or physical creations to a terrestrial or celestial state. All the spirit creations are birthed or propagated to a celestial state from intelligence and elemental matter. These are created in heaven and become part of a premortal world.

These creations come to earth which was also created spiritually before naturally or physically. Once all of our spirit creations, including our own spirit offspring, are on the earth or in heaven, ready for a physical creation, we then repeat the entire creation process in the physical state. This is in the sequence of the creation story found in Moses chapter 3. All the generations of heaven and earth had been created in this spirit form and not physically.

At this point, I caused all of these same parent creations to now create physical offspring for those that would populate the earth at that time. There were many spirit creations that were not to be created physically until after the fall, from the natural propagation of their kind in the telestial fallen world, or in a terrestrial millennial world on the earth.

The very first physical creation on the spirit earth was the physical earth and then the primeval plants and animals that would prepare the earth on its surface to be able to bring forth rich soil, ready for the later advent of new plants and animals and our own children.'

I then asked my Father this question:

'Father, if the earth at this primeval time was telestial and man was not yet physically on the earth, how were these creations physically created without a fall in their telestial state? I thought all celestial resurrected beings could produce terrestrial and celestial offspring but not telestial physical offspring?'

Heavenly Father responded:

'Raphael, Adam and Eve were the first terrestrial flesh (human flesh) upon the earth, birthed by Heavenly Mother on the earth. We created the Garden of Eden on this earth, which was also in a terrestrial state, where Adam and Eve could dwell. However, before this time of the placement of the man and woman on the physical earth, the earth had to be prepared to receive them, for it was only rock and void in the beginning and not suitable for mankind yet.

We therefore placed water on the earth, the mist spoken of in Moses 3:6-

But I, the Lord God, spake, and there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground."

At this time, the physical creation in Abraham chapter 4:1-25 was done. The creation process was the creation of the earth, waters and plant and animal life in the primeval state in the days of their organization. There was not mankind yet upon the earth. These primeval plant and animal creations were intended to create the rich soils and coal deposits, and their remains are now seen in the rock layers' history on the earth, laid down over eons of time, gradually deposited.

The earth was then a primeval telestial earth, but the initial creations were terrestrially created by their celestial parents and placed on the terrestrial earth at the time of their creation. However, when they came to earth, they assumed the state of the earth, which was telestial. The earth was also initially created in a terrestrial state when it was without form and void, but when the waters came on the earth, we caused the earth to become a telestial world, for that is how we wished it to be when the many plants and animals would come on its surface. When the time came for mankind to come on the earth, the earth had rich soil and mineral deposits on its surface and under its surface. We caused most all of the primeval life to die so that the prepared earth would be ready for mankind, with a fresh replanting of the earth with new plant and animals suitable for mankind.

We then created a new phase of the earth as is recorded in Abraham 4:16-31, 5:1-21 and also Moses 3:7-25. This is when we created a beautiful Garden of Eden and introduced mostly new plants and animals on its surface. These were brought as plant and animal spirits to the earth to this Garden of Eden. These had lived previously in our celestial orb. When all was spiritually created, and ready for man, your Heavenly Mother and I came to the Garden of Eden and created Adam and Eve as our own physical children. They were the first terrestrial flesh on the earth. Once birthed, we caused the remainder of the spirit plants and animals on the earth to also be physically birthed and propagated in this beautiful terrestrial Garden of Eden. Resurrected celestial animals birthed these. By the time Adam and Eve were aware and of age as young children, the Garden of Eden had completely been transformed from its spirit state to its physical terrestrial state. Your Heavenly Mother and I, and our children Adam and Eve, grew up in a beautiful world, which we had prepared for us. This is where we raised our two children to adulthood in their physical terrestrial states. We elevated the areas where we directly lived to be in a celestial realm, for that is the only way we could be in the terrestrial world.

When of age as adults, we married our two children as husband and wife. They were in a terrestrial state, but were transfigured to a celestial state when they would commune with us in the Garden of Eden.

We then brought our celestial resurrected tree of life to the Garden of Eden. They partook freely of the fruit of the tree of life and received the love of God to their souls.

When all was prepared, we planted a new tree, the tree of knowledge of good and evil. We told Adam and Eve not to partake of the fruit of this tree.

Moses 3:17

"But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it, nevertheless, thou mayest choose for thyself, for it is given unto thee; but, remember that I forbid it, for in the day thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die."

We had freely spoken to Adam and Eve of the earth life they would one day live in their future. However, we did not tell them of the fall of man nor how this would happen.

We then allowed Lucifer to come forth from under the earth where he and his evil spirits had been placed. We allowed him to come into our beautiful Garden of Eden for a season, even though he normally couldn't do so since it was in a terrestrial state.

Soon Satan became familiar with all of the Garden of Eden, its plants and animals. He had persuaded some of the animals to follow him, for in their terrestrial state the animals have choice and may communicate with mankind.

Moses 4:5-7

"And now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which I, the Lord God, had made.

And Satan put it into the heart of the serpent, (for he had drawn away many after him,) and he sought also to beguile Eve, for he knew not the mind of God, wherefore he sought to destroy the world.

And he said unto the woman: Yea, hath God said-Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? (And he spake by the mouth of the serpent.)"

Normally, the animals in their terrestrial state do not respond to the influence of the adversary, and are always obedient to us, their Gods, for that is their nature. However, we allowed Lucifer for a season into our terrestrial state of the Garden of Eden. He then easily persuaded many animals to follow his sinister plan to deceive Adam and Eve, for Lucifer was far more intelligent and deceptive than the lower order of animals.

Once Adam and Eve both partook of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, we came to visit them. They were cast out of the Garden of Eden because they had transgressed our commandment not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. It was by their own choice that they had brought upon themselves eventual death and a mortal life.

When Adam and Eve left the beautiful garden, they entered into a telestial world. All of the physical creations that were terrestrial also fell into a telestial state, for that is what we did once man was expelled. We then removed the tree of life from the garden and brought it back into our celestial orb. Adam and Eve were then driven from the beautiful garden (Moses 4:31) and began to till the earth (Moses 5:1). They continued to have dominion over all the animals in their new telestial world.

In this fallen state, Adam and Eve could then bear children in mortality. The premortal celestial spirits that we had birthed in heaven now could come through Adam and Eve, and their posterity.'"

-----------

Here is another revelation that I received from Heavenly Father to a question about the tree of life, back in August, 2018:

91H2-91H11
"2. I had received an email last night from R.S.. Here is a question he asked:

Did the first Gods create the first tree of life? Were the fruits from that tree of life shared with the new gods? Or did the new gods receive knowledge and plant their own? The tree of life seems much more of a tree to me than normal trees. Does the tree of life represent the first Gods, or knowledge from the first Gods to be passed on?"

I thought this was a great question! We will see what happens today.

I felt very clear and ready to pray so I knelt in front of the bench facing the lake. I asked for my Heavenly Parents to come. Heavenly Father came to me, appearing a short distance on the path along the lake to my left. He walked up to me and stopped. He was smiling and full of light and majesty! His eyes were deep and compassionate and seemed to convey to me his great knowledge and power!

3. He spoke to me:

'Raphael, I will address the question about the tree of life. R.S. is correct that this unique tree was created by our first parent Gods on their first creation for their first eternity. They used it precisely as we use it in our domain even today.

4. At the end of the conference of the gods, the new gods that attend are given a fruit of that tree to take back to their own creations they will begin. The tree of life at the beginning of each eternity, in our first God's residence at the center of the universe, created all fruit with seeds, like is common to fruit. These are given to the new gods so they may plant these fruits and grow their own tree of life. They usually plant it on their own inheritance on their resurrected celestial earth. When the time comes when they build their own celestial orb and the beginnings of their own galaxy, they bring a transplant from their own tree of life on their own celestial earth where they had originally planted the seed. This first tree of life transplant is a physical tree, brought into a spirit celestial creation, even before the celestial orb is resurrected. This celestial orb remains a spirit creation until it is resurrected as a glorious celestial orb. I will speak about this more.

5. The tree of life therefore is brought from the first creation of our first Gods. It is the plant that is always brought from the residence of our first Gods. It is altogether a miraculous tree, for it only has seeding fruit at the beginning of each eternity for the new couple gods. However, once on their own domain, it produces non-seeding fruit (no seed) so that it may continually be eaten, both the fruit and the leaf. It is a gift from the first Gods to every one of their posterity who become gods. It represents their great love for all their children in their great universe! When one partakes of the fruit of the tree of life, they are filled with this same love of God, from their first parent God. The leaves of this tree are for the healing of the souls of man and woman, another great gift from our first parent Gods!

6. This tree of life may be planted in physical or spirit creations, and works the same in each one. This is why it may be transplanted in the new spirit creation of the celestial orb of the new couple god.

7. The first celestial orb is always created spiritually before physically. We have explained this before. When the first Redeemer of the new couple god atones for the sins and weaknesses of all their children who will come to mortality, the celestial orb is created physically by the gods of that creation. This celestial orb then rises in the celestial resurrection along with the first Redeemer in that domain. The tree of life on that celestial orb is already in a physical resurrected state, so it is not resurrected again. The resurrection of the celestial orb applies to everything else that was created spiritually on that orb.

8. The gods all share freely their own creations with each other. We share these when we meet at the convention of the gods at the completion of each eternity. We have created some new plants on our own that we have brought and shared with the other gods.

However, all the other plants and animals we have brought to our own domain are from the worlds of the other gods. Most are from our own parent God's residence, but we have brought more also from the other gods.

When we bring a physical celestial plant or animal from another of the god's creations, these plants and animals are able to create a spirit offspring. We planted these spirit plants in our spirit celestial orb, and brought these spirit animals to that same creation. These were also brought in their spirit form to our first spiritually created earth, prior to its becoming physically created. These all came from the resurrected celestial plants and animals from other gods.

9. The earth was created physically, even before we bore the first physical man and woman on that earth (the Adam and Eve of that eternity). Once our earth was created spiritually, we then created it physically.

10. This was done as is revealed in Moses 3:6-9:

But I, the Lord God, spake, and there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.

And I, the Lord God, formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul, the first flesh upon the earth, the first man also; nevertheless, all things were before created; but spiritually were they created and made according to my words.

And I, the Lord God, planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there I put the man whom I had formed.

And out of the ground made I, the Lord God, to grow every tree naturally, that is pleasant to the sight of man; and man could behold it. And it also became a living soul. For it was spiritual in the day that I created; for it remaineth in the sphere in which I, God, created it, yea, even all things which I prepared for the use of man; and man saw that it was good for food. And I, the Lord God, planted the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and also the tree of knowledge of good and evil."

11. This scripture refers to the physical creation of the earth. It was created physically, in a telestial state when it was without form and void. Then it was populated with unique plants and animals to create the rich soils on its surface. When ready for Adam and Eve, we then planted a garden eastward in Eden. The earth then became elevated on its surface to a terrestrial state. Satan had already been cast into the earth, that portion remaining telestial. Your Heavenly Mother and I came and then bore Adam and Eve physically, for we had already birthed them in the spirit. They and all the creations on the earth were physical, but in a suspended state, in its terrestrial state. This was the paradise glory state of the earth. Once Adam and Eve partook of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, of which we had commanded them not to eat, they fell and their bodies became mortal. All of the earth then also fell from its paradise state, and also then became mortal, or could die, decompose, etc.

The tree of life in the garden was subsequently removed from the Garden of Eden, and brought back into our celestial orb. It was resurrected and could never die.'

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his answer to the question on the tree of life. It is so fascinating! I thanked him for this revelation. I feel very enlightened by all of this new knowledge revealed to me from God."

-----------
The following passage was written in by me in August, 2018. It centers around the importance of light that God uses in all things, and in their creations. I talk about the birth of Adam by Heavenly Mother:

89C1-89C9
"1. I awoke at 7:00 a.m. and have been reading in the scriptures all about spirit and light even as I was asked to do last night in my prayer.

I read this verse in D&C 131:7-8

"There is no such thing as immaterial matter. All spirit is matter, but it is more fine or pure, and can only be discerned by purer eyes;

We cannot see it; but when our bodies are purified we shall see that it is all matter."

2. I also re-read part of what God revealed to me about light. Heavenly Father told me light was created and continues to be created by our first parent Gods in the bosom of eternity. They create light from matter, from elemental "building blocks" that all things are created from. This light does not have an intelligence, but is directed by God to enliven and give life to all of their creations. This light also is called in the scriptures the Spirit of God. This is not the spirit of their beings that can be replicated like the Holy Ghost (the actual spirit body of our Heavenly Mother). This light instead is the substance that is controlled and directed by God.

This light or spirit substance (called the Spirit of God) is thus directed by God in various levels of intensity to their creations. When we are filled with light, the spirit of Christ (it is all the same), or this light or spirit can be slightly given or given in a great measure. This flow of light is all controlled by God.

3. The light I see in God is this same substance they call light that ultimately comes from their first parent Gods who create it. The amount of light our Heavenly Parents receive and pass through their bodies, be they shine brightly or dimly, is all controlled by themselves. They control all of this by their thoughts as Heavenly Mother said. They also control the amount of this light substance to their own worlds, children, and creations by this same means.

There is no other substance they use besides intelligence, elemental matter, and this light. From this, all entities are created and sustained.

I love the illustration of the light bulb: it is not illuminated until electricity flows into its filaments. Likewise, intelligence and elemental matter that form a spirit and/or physical entity are not really "alive" until light flows into this entity. When God thus breathes into this entity, his breath of life, or this light or spirit (it is all the same, just worded differently), the entity then becomes alive.

4. Moses 3:7

"And I, the Lord God, formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul, the first flesh upon the earth, the first man also; nevertheless, all things were before created; but spiritually were they created and made according to my word."

5. Adam was created spiritually when his single intelligence was clothed upon inside the womb of Heavenly Mother with spirit elemental matter. When born in the spirit as an infant baby, he looked like his Heavenly Parents. Heavenly Mother had infused light into her growing fetus so he could grow and mature according to her power of creation.

When Adam was born physically on the earth, Heavenly Mother conceived the physical seed or sperm from Heavenly Father and Adam again grew in her womb. This was, however, a physical creation. Adam's spirit entered into the growing physical fetus and, with the infusion of light, started to grow and physically develop. He was born a physical baby.

6. He and Eve grew up in the Garden of Eden, our Heavenly Parents being there to nurture and care for them. This entire birthing process and growth process is what Moses 3:7 states in symbolic terms of having the breath of life coming into Adam's nostrils.

I am confident that there is no other spirit substance that God uses to enliven their creations other than light. It is named or called by different names, but it is all the same thing.

When Adam and Eve had their children, they were in a fallen telestial state. Light infused into their bodies to sustain them and help them grow and flourish. Their children grew in Mother Eve's womb and grew into physical babies, being infused with light so they could grow and mature. Their sons and daughters were born, being filled with light to grow, think, have being, etc. Thus came all the posterity of Adam and Eve. All of us need light to be sustained.

When we die, our spirits separate from our bodies. However, light continues to remain with our spirit, for it does not die. We continue to think and have being because of this light that God directs to us.

These are my thoughts from reading the scriptures this Friday morning.

I came to the bench at the circling waters and knelt in prayer, facing the waters. I asked for my Heavenly Parents to come, even Elohim. Both Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother appeared to me on the waters! They were filled with light, which shone brightly from their beings! They were smiling and seemed very happy!

7. Heavenly Father spoke:

'Raphael, we have guided you this morning in your thoughts as you have studied the scriptures and written in your journal. What you have recorded is true.

There is no other substance besides light that we infuse and direct to all of our creations. We always use light in our creation process. This same substance is called the Spirit of God, the Spirit, the Spirit of Jesus Christ and light and truth. This light comes to us from the bosom of eternity from our first parent Gods. All of their creations are upheld and have being by virtue of this light that they continue to send to us.

You see too that we are both filled with this same light. It flows now from us to you, illuminated and enhancing your intellect and mind, and filling your entire being with light. We control all of this light energy by our power of being God.

8. When you receive answers in prayer, this light is the medium by which you receive our words, for it accompanies our voice of revelation to your soul. All things we do and you do are enabled because of this light that you receive. This is the Spirit of God spoken of in the scriptures.'

I gazed upon the faces of Elohim, my Heavenly Parents! They were sending forth great amounts of light to me and all the surrounding area at the circling waters. I had great clarity of thought, great enlightenment, while in their influence and power. I felt so much at peace and assurance also.

9. Heavenly Mother then spoke:

'Raphael, you may ask us any further questions about light you or the mortal angels may have. However, because we have infused you with our light, you have come to a greater understanding of this topic, even so you comprehend it now.'

I thanked her for her words, and my Father for his words. I said I loved them and that I was so glad to have received the light from their countenances. I said I loved being in their holy presence!

I then was disconnected from my unconscious mind and will now end my prayer and start my day. This has been a wonderful connection with my Heavenly Parents this morning!"

-----------

I received further understanding on the birth of Adam in a physical state, without possessing blood. This came from Heavenly Mother in August 2018, several weeks after the previous passage above. This revelation shows that the spirit of Adam actually accompanied the holy sperm and was implanted from Heavenly Father into Heavenly Mother's womb, and then grew into his physical person. This was a birth without blood being in the veins of Adam:

91E11-91E14
"Q2: M.A. had a couple of questions about how Heavenly Mother determines whether a child will be born in the spirit form or in a physical form? She wondered if it was depending on how much light she gives to her fetus in her womb? Or is there some other principle involved? (This question was asked since Heavenly Mother's offspring may be born in spirit form (in the premortal life) or in the physical form (including Adam, Eve and Jesus Christ). . .

I came to the circling waters tonight for my prayer. I came above the waters on the little bluff to the east. I faced the waters looking west. I asked for my Heavenly Parents to come.

My Heavenly Mother came from her lower gardens, rose up over the waterfall and then came in the air directly in front of me! She was smiling and was beaming with a happy countenance and light!

12. She spoke:

'Raphael, I am glad you were able to listen to past posts you have published. It is important to continue to keep abreast of what you have received. There is a great amount of revelation that we have given you.

14. A2: About how I determine a spirit child from a physical childbirth: All of my children who are born from an intelligence become spirit children. Their intelligence enters into my womb from your Heavenly Father, and does not have any elemental matter or spirit matter accompanying it.

For those children who are born physically, like Adam, Eve, and Jesus Christ for this eternity, the seed from the Father contains the grown spirit of the individual, sized down to accompany his holy sperm into my womb. The spirit is one of our previously birthed intelligences into our spirit child. The spirit child has matured to his/her full stature. Since the spirit has the capability to reduce to any size required, this is how these spirits enter into my womb in a very small spirit stature. These spirits accompany the holy seed of the Father into my womb. They grow as I add physical elemental matter to their spirit, and the spirit continues to expand to the same size, as is the fetus. When I birth these physical babies, their spirit is exactly the same size as is their body. The spirit and body continue to grow in size together until the physical body reaches its full stature. This is the size of the full spirit's stature as well.

Raphael, this same process is similar to conception for our mortal children on earth. The spirit from our premortal realms enters into the mother from the father and accompanies the physical sperm into her womb. The spirit is the same size as is the small fetus, and grows until birth as a physical baby, and continues growing until the full stature of the mature adult. This same pattern of conception also occurs for animals where there is a male and female in that species."

-----------

Heavenly Father addressed this same topic the next day after the previous passage:

91F12-91F15
"12. Heavenly Father spoke to me:

'Raphael, you have talked with your wife tonight about how quickly you change once you come as a child into mortality. You told her that even as an adult, the change due to the aging and maturing process is very dramatic from young adult to old age. The change from infant to adult is very dramatic also. During this entire mortal experience, the spirit of the individual stays inside their body boundaries, whatever size it is. The spirit adjusts to the size of the body it fills and does not exceed the boundary of the physical body.

13. You were surprised at the ability of the spirit to go to the size of a single sperm cell as it is placed into the womb of the mother. There is no size too small or too large for the spirit of man to adjust to! You have done energy work in the past where an evil spirit was confined to the tiny organ of the pituitary of its mortal host. This evil spirit went undetected in this organ for years. There have also been some of our children whose mortal bodies were very large in stature. Their spirits were naturally not so large, but nonetheless conformed to the full stature of the larger physical body.

When resurrected, the stature of the grown spirit will be the final size of the stature of the final resurrected body. However, in the mortal state, there may be short people or very large people whose spirit may naturally be of a different height. This discrepancy will be corrected in the resurrection.

14. When our mortal children are resurrected, they are resurrected in the state that they died. If a child, they will be raised in the resurrection as a child, and then grow into an adult in the resurrection, at their prime. If our mortal child dies in their old age, they will be resurrected in the state their body died, as an old person. Once resurrected and appearing as an older person, they will gradually change to conform to their size, stature and look of their spirit, in their prime condition.

15. The resurrected person may also appear as needed in disguise at times. This is a capability also of celestial resurrected and translated persons. We allow disguise to come in order to fulfill a particular assignment, which is approved or assigned from God.

The angel Moroni appeared to Joseph Smith while walking on the road to Cumorah. In "Visions of Glory", Spencer talks about seeing himself disguised as a translated being to fulfill an assignment. Such is the capability of celestial resurrected individuals and translated individuals.'

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his words and for both of them coming to me here at the fountain of living water. I sensed this was what I was to receive tonight, so I thanked them for coming and closed my prayer. I then felt myself falling from the celestial world back to my mortal telestial state. I felt in awe of how this all comes to me! I then got ready for bed."

See also 137A12-137A16 for more information on the birth of a child into mortality, and the functions of a mother spirit and the baby spirit. This is so very fascinating!

-----------

The following passage is very long, but has so much good information on the spirit creation of God's plants, animals, and their very own children. Enjoy!

107C3-107D27
"3. I then saw my Heavenly Parents at the end of the road in the distance. They came walking in the air together, and soon were beamed in front of me! They were holding hands, smiling. I felt immediately the light, love and acceptance come from them.

4. Heavenly Mother spoke first: 'Raphael, come sit on the oak branch next to us that comes from the ground!'

5. I stood and sat in front of them on the oak branch. It was about 1-½ feet in diameter. They were both before me in the air.

6. Heavenly Mother resumed: 'We would like to share with you our methods of creation, starting this morning. There are two methods we use in creating our worlds: First, we create our own children and also use the many plants, animals, and other living beings that are resurrected in our celestial world to propagate new offspring. Second, we create new living things that have never been formed.

7. Today, your Heavenly Father and I will talk about the first method. It is by far the most common way we populate our worlds in each eternity.

8. We start by discussing together the need we have to create new living beings. If we desire to find an offspring that will become our newest son or daughter, we go to the vast area outside our organized universe. This is where there exists the intelligences and elemental matter. There is nothing else except these two things outside the boundaries of the universe.

9. We work together as a couple God. We are intent on perceiving where we might find our future son or daughter's intelligence. We use our Godly powers to find the exact individual intelligence among all the others. When identified, we confirm between us, using our gift of foresight, what gender best will fit this intelligence. We always select the gender together, and it always matches what we have determined when we came into the area beyond the boundaries of the universe.

10. At this point, one of us directs their thoughts to the identified intelligence. We state whom we are and what we wish to do in creating this intelligence into our son or daughter. We say we are a Mother and Father God and have creation powers to make them into our son or daughter. We ask if we might have their permission to do so.

11. If they return the thoughts into our minds, using their inherent spirit sense capability, that they agree, we then proceed. We always tell them what becoming our son or daughter means. We say that if they are obedient to us, and follow our plans, they may one day become even as we are, a glorified God made in our image. We say this from the beginning, even when they are only an intelligence.

12. The intelligence is always very pleased to be so honored to have been chosen by us. They always say "yes" to our request. We tell them that we will always honor their choices in all the processes of becoming like us.

13. Once we have confirmed that they agree to become our chosen son or daughter, Heavenly Father then takes them by his hand and places their intelligence into his own resurrected celestial body. They remain in their intelligent state, and enter into his holy seed that will at one time be transferred into me. This holy seed of the Father is an individual sperm that has a finite boundary and is tangible as spirit matter. The Father creates this sperm from his own resurrected body. Each of these sperms is individually created to be the first tangible body of the intelligence.

14. Once the intelligence is in the holy seed of your Heavenly Father, we then go back to our celestial orb. There is only one intelligence at a time that he transfers in this way. Then by the God-ordained method of propagation, your Heavenly Father and I have intercourse. This allows his holy seed, containing the selected intelligence, to enter into my womb and fertilize my spirit holy egg. There are many such spirit eggs in my body, but we direct this sperm to this egg that we have selected. This is all determined precisely by us, the Father and Mother parent of this newly fertilized egg. The new embryo then is partly from the Father from his holy seed from his body and partly from me, from my holy egg from my body. Both are spirit tangible matter. There is never more than one intelligence at a time that we fertilize in this method.

15. Once the embryo is in my body, I cause it to grow and divide. I give more spirit matter to this new growing fetus. All the while, during these propagation and growth stages, we continually are in communication with our son or daughter intelligence. We tell our child through our directed thought transfer what we are doing and what is happening. We so enjoy the excitement of the intelligence that experiences all of this new change! We coach him or her to fully fill their new chosen matter of a sperm, a fertilized egg, and then a growing fetus in my womb.

16. As our new child to be grows, I share my thoughts continually with him/her in the new growth changes that are occurring. I soon feel the growing embryo within me and confirm all is happening, as I desire.

17. When we initially chose this intelligence, your Heavenly Father and I envision not only the gender of our new child, but the features of their body parts that will make them unique from all of our other children. We determine those features together, even from before Heavenly Father takes the intelligence into his body. I then use my Godly powers to create those unique features of our growing fetus in my womb. I observe and create our new child in this way, in my womb, even before birth.

18. When our fetus child is all grown, as far as I determine within my womb, I inform my husband, your Father, that I am ready to deliver by birth our new spirit infant child! We both come together again and I squat and push with my uterus and other muscles the spirit child out of my body. There is no pain in the birth process like there is in the mortal state for my daughters. Heavenly Father is there and we receive our new spirit child into our celestial home, our temple on this celestial orb. This is such a joyous occasion for both your Father and me!

19. At this time of birth, we name our child. This is the name he/she will have for eternity. It always fits perfectly! I then immediately nurse our new infant son or daughter from my breasts, giving the needed nourishment for their first time outside of my body. My heavenly spirit milk is all our child receives for nourishment until they have developed to a small toddler size. They are gradually introduced to others of our children in our nursery area, also located in our holy temple. It is in the nursery that we teach them to eat solid spirit food. They continue to grow and flourish under our constant observation.

20. We imbue our children from the beginning with our light and love. They all flourish and grow in their new spirit bodies. This is such a joy for both your Father and I to participate in! Oh, we love our children, and this stage is so very precious to us both!'

21. I could see a tear of joy in Heavenly Mother's eyes. She was smiling through her Godly tears, such a tender moment for her!

22. Heavenly Father then placed his arm around his wife and looked at me and spoke: 'Raphael, your Heavenly Mother has explained in detail how we propagate ourselves, creating our own offspring. This is one of the greatest joys we experience in eternity! We cherish these moments with each one of our beloved sons and daughters!

23. Tonight come again to this branch of my mighty oak tree during your prayer. I will explain the details of creation of our many plants and animals that propagate their own offspring.'

24. I felt so very touched by this prayer today, in the explanations from my Heavenly Parents. I thanked them both profusely! I felt so blessed to receive all of these revelations.

25. I knew my time in prayer was completed. I closed my prayer in the name of Jesus Christ, and came immediately into my adjacent bedroom where I had been continually writing all of this down. I started my new day.

26. Evening- This has been a productive day. I am ready now to commune with my Heavenly Parents again at the oak tree where I was this morning when I received a great revelation on the creation of the sons and daughters of God. I look forward to words from my Heavenly Father tonight!

27. I came to the branch of the mighty oak tree next to Heavenly Father's wheat field. I asked for my Heavenly Parents to come, or one to come to me. I was sitting on the large branch like I had been instructed to do this morning. Heavenly Father appeared immediately before me. Heavenly Mother was not with him that I could see or perceive. He was filled with light and was very great and majestic in his appearance.

28. Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, I will now share with you the creation process we use to propagate our plants and animals. These, too, start as intelligences, just like our own children. We choose which intelligences are to become, or are given an opportunity to become, one of our many creations. We choose the higher, more intelligent ones to become our own children. We choose the lesser intelligences to be all of our other creations. We determine which intelligence we wish to offer to become one of our specific creations, whether a plant, animal, or other spirit being requiring an intelligence. We determine their level of intelligence because of our capability of being a God with this power.

29. In this process, both your Heavenly Mother and I come to a certain individual or a group of intelligences, and offer to them to be one of our creations. We ask them if they accept our offer, just like we do for our own offspring. If these intelligences accept, either Heavenly Mother or I, or both of us, take the intelligence(s) in our hand and transport them to our celestial orb. We individually place these intelligences in the mature resurrected male of the species we have chosen. We place them in the sperm of the higher animals or place them in the appropriate way in which the lower forms of animals propagate. We allow these to birth more than one offspring at a time if this is the normal process. Each animal egg or live animal has one intelligence per offspring.

30. We communicate with our resurrected animal species what we are doing with their new offspring intelligence. The male of the higher animal orders mates with his female counterpart, thus transferring his sperm or seed containing the new intelligence into the womb of his mate. She then grows the new baby of their kind until it is ready for birth. She then births a spirit baby of their own kind, just like occurs on earth by this same species.

31. There are other animals that reproduce with eggs or other means. These propagate in the same manner as they do on earth, but in our celestial orb from resurrected parents. Plants are propagated in the same way as they multiply on earth, but instead from resurrected plants on our celestial orb. Most of these grow from seeds, spores and roots. We bring the intelligences into these seeds, spores and roots and they grow into full mature plants, just like occurs on earth.

32. In all cases, the intelligences we bring to these, our resurrected animals and plants, fill the boundary of their new spirit completely, to the size they are destined to be. As the plants grow larger, the intelligence fills this larger spirit being.

33. We may also ask our resurrected animals and plants to bear offspring that are physical. In this case, the spirit being enters into the resurrected animal or plant, and is propagated in a similar way as the growth of the spirit animal or plant. We propagate our creations on the new earth with our multiple creations, in their physical bodies. The resurrected parent animal may come to the earth for a season until their offspring is well on its way to becoming a physical animal, able to live on its own.

34. In the case of Adam and Eve, we came to the physical Garden of Eden and your Heavenly Mother bore the infant physical bodies of both Adam and Eve. Instead of their intelligence alone entering my spirit holy seed, their spirit entered my physical holy seed and was placed in the womb of my wife, your Heavenly Mother. She then grew a physical embryo and fetus in her body until our son or daughter was ready for birth. This is the exact process that our mortal children on earth bring forth their mortal infants, in this same birth process from mortal parents.

35. We therefore populate our celestial orb in each eternity with our own spirit offspring. We also populate our plants and animals in the spirit on our celestial orb. This is called the premortal life. When these come into mortality, that same premortal spirit is born, using the same propagation method used in our celestial world to create spirit offspring, except that the spirit enters into the physical sperm, fertilized egg, embryo, or other propagation method used. In the first propagation, the intelligence enters the spirit infant and in the second propagation, the grown spirit enters the physical infant.

36. I have previously explained how our earth, water, and atmosphere each are multiplied for the new eternity. There is only one intelligence for each of these living beings.'

37. I thanked my Heavenly Father for his explanation of this amazing creation process! I now feel I understand the manner of creation in the spirit state and in the physical state. It is all so simple and understandable to me now!

38. Heavenly Father then asked me to come again to this same oak branch tomorrow morning. He said both Heavenly Mother and he would come to share more creation information with me. I thanked him for his continuing revelations. I said I would be here again in the morning!

D. R's Personal Journal Entry, January 10, 2019, Thursday

1. "I came this morning to my adjacent room in my house to pray. I am writing in my journal as I always do, during my prayer. I then mentally envisioned me at the large oak branch in the celestial world. I knew I was fully connected once again with my replicated self in heaven and was actually doing what I envisioned. It is an amazing process I have become used to doing during my prayers. I feel so blessed to be able to thereby connect with God in my unconscious mind in this way!

2. I paused on the oak branch and accessed my level of spiritual clarity. I feel very clear and aware of my surroundings and prepared to commune again with my Gods.

3. I then asked for my Heavenly Parents to come to me. I then saw a light above and south of the oak tree, gradually descending to me. I saw both Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother in the light! They came right in front of me, standing a little above me in the air. They were both bright and shining with light and love. I felt their beings close to me and basked in their presence! They were both smiling.

4. Heavenly Mother spoke to my mind: 'Raphael, your Father and I have come to you to give you our revelation on how we create new living beings that have never been before created. If we desire a living being that has already been created, either by us or some other God, we use the creation processes we have already explained to you.

5. I mostly create new plants that I desire to have for new beauty, fragrance, and a food source or for the purpose of healing. We have each created both plants and animals that are entirely new creations. This is the process I will now explain.

6. I have an area in the uninhabited region of our celestial orb where I do my new plant creations. I currently have rainbow and fluorescent colored petaled flowers that I plan to introduce on your own earth during the millennium. I always seem to have something new that I am developing here, for this is a great interest for me!

7. Your Father and I both go together to the area outside the boundaries of our universe. We determine the correct intelligence for our new creation. We always agree upon which to choose, for we work together as a Father-Mother God couple, using our joint powers of perception in the selection process.

8. I will take the example of the rainbow fluorescent colored petaled flower, a new spirit being that I have created. We found one intelligence, and gained its permission to be created into this new flower. I took the intelligence in my hand and brought it to our uninhabited area of our celestial orb. Heavenly Father then took some elemental matter in his hand and came with me to that same uninhabited area. He placed the elemental matter near me and left me to create this new flower myself. If I needed his advice, he would have immediately come to my side to counsel with me.

9. I took the intelligence in my hand and placed it on my creation table I use. I then took the elemental matter and also placed it on the table. Both were before me, the intelligence and the elemental matter. I then formed a portion of the elemental matter into a new spirit flower. I created the shape, color, parts and functionality of this flower, first without its intelligence. The functionality of photosynthesis, for example, was formed but did not yet work since the intelligence controls this function using the structure I created from elemental matter. I formed the entire spirit flower to my satisfaction like a potter would create the clay into his own bowl or vessel.

10. In the process of creation, I direct my thoughts to the elemental matter, and use my hands to shape the matter into a flower shape. In this case I was mostly interested in beauty and fragrance. I continued to create the petals, stem, leaves, roots, and all the functional parts of this flower. I determined if this new flower would be part of a given species already growing, or would be of a new order. I love working in this very exciting and creative process!

11. Once the elemental matter had been shaped to the perfection I desire, I then invite your Father to come and see my new work. He usually gives some of his advice. He always is very complimentary of my works. We are loving companions, kind and considerate of each other! He always remains there when I place the intelligence we have chosen to enter into my new creation. I communicate with this intelligence at that time, stating what I am about to do. For the flower, I gained its permission again and then took it from the creation table in my hand and placed it in the new flower I had formed. I watched and instructed carefully, using my spirit sense communication method, to the intelligence in its new spirit being. I instructed the intelligence how to operate and manage in its new spirit body in the shape of the flower I had created.

12. I then brought soil in a container and placed the roots of my new flower into the celestial soil. I poured living water on the soil. I then shone the light of my countenance on my new flower, all the while instructing my new creation how to function in its new flower body.

13. When we use a propagation process of reproduction of a plant or animal, the parent mother helps instruct its growing offspring how to function and grow. If I am growing my own spirit child, I am in continual communication with the growing being inside my own body. I instruct and watch until the intelligence within the growing spirit follows and learns.

14. In the case of the new flower creation, there was no parent flower to instruct its offspring and to watch and observe. Instead, I took over this role to insure that the growing flower intelligence learned and functioned properly in its new surroundings.

15. When our first parent Gods, as intelligences, formed their spirit bodies they would inhabit, they worked together as a team of two intelligences. They communicated back and forth in the creation process. They directed their thoughts to form the elemental matter into the shape and form they wished. They created all of the body functions and shapes by their directed thoughts, even before they themselves entered into these human shapes of matter. Once they entered into the matter that was formed as a human being, they continued to refine the shape and functionality, working together as a team. In this way, they perfected themselves as spirit beings with their own intelligences controlling all.

16. In a similar way, I created my flower first by my directed thoughts and the actions of my hands. I do this since I am a God and have been given these powers by ordination. Our first parent Gods were the first, and by their superior intelligence set up a system for those that followed to guard and control this power of creation that they had discovered. They chose a plan for other intelligences they would choose to become like them. These creative powers would be restricted to those who would become Gods like themselves.

17. Raphael, my new flower creation is now thriving and has grown to maturity. I have created other flowers of the same shape and order, in order that these may propagate with seeds that will become flowers too. We have brought more intelligences to inhabit these new spirit flowers. There is now a field of these beautiful rainbow petaled fluorescent flowers, all located in our uninhabited section of our celestial orb.

18. When I bring these to your earth in the millennial day, I will first need to create a physical equivalent of these flowers. This I will need to do so that physical seeds may be reproduced by two parent physical flowers. These seeds will be planted on your earth and will have the spirit flowers enter into these seeds so that they will grow and flourish. I have not yet created these physical flowers, but I plan to do so soon. Once these are physically created in heaven, they will be exactly the same as resurrected flowers, capable of reproducing seeds and finding joy in their creation. Since I created them physically in heaven, these two flowers will not have the earth experience like the others. One of the main purposes of earth life is to attain a physical body, which can then be resurrected with the spirit body.

19. Come now with us, Raphael, and let us visit this flourishing field of flowers in our uninhabited area of this celestial orb!'

20. I stood and took both of my Heavenly Parents' hands and we instantly came to a stunningly beautiful field of rainbow colored fluorescent flowers! The flowers were very strikingly pretty. The fragrance was gentle and sweet, like an iris, but different.

21. I thanked my loving Heavenly Mother for her words and explanation today! I felt very blessed to have received such an amazing story of the creation process they use to form new living beings. I bowed my head in humble adoration of their great work!

22. I then was immediately propelled back into my adjacent bedroom. I had written this all as it happened. I closed my prayer and started my new day!

23. Evening–I worked at one of our rentals today. It was good to be back home and be involved again in my normal work. I also talked to my sister again today; it was good to reconnect too.

24. I came this evening to the little forest with the horizontal log. I came here because I felt impressed to come here. I knelt on the ground next to the log and faced the path in front of me. I asked for my Heavenly Parents to come. I waited, and then saw my Heavenly Mother walking to me from the path to my left. She was smiling and there was a light halo around her face. I rejoiced to see her before me!

25. She spoke to me: 'Raphael, M.A. asked about whether another intelligence, or group of intelligences could do again what our first parent Gods did in the beginning when they created themselves as spirits. They couldn't do this now since the many Gods in our universe continually scan over the vast expanse of intelligence in search of ones they could take to make their creations. We as Gods are aware of all the intelligences in that existence in the limitless expanse, and we would know if any are attempting to do what our first parent Gods did in the beginning. If this were the case, we would come to communicate with them and invite them into our kingdom. Since this early time that our first Gods existed as only intelligence, there have been no others who have attempted to do this same or similar process of creation by their own directed thoughts.

26. Your Father and I have given you an abundant amount of new information during your last three prayers. We have covered the basics of creation. You will one day experience all of this yourself after you are ordained to this power. There is so much more to understand when you actually act in the process of creating. We will not reveal more of this topic until that time that you are ordained.'

27. Heavenly Mother then extended her hand to me. I stood up and took her hand. She put her arm through mine and we continued walking down the path. She started talking to me, but I couldn't hear in my conscious mind. I watched as we walked away and were gone. I came back to my home and ended my prayer."

This next short passage is how the twelve chakral energies develop inside a human fetus:

96H3
"3. You also talked together yesterday with your wife about qigong's concept that at the moment of conception, when the sperm fertilizes the egg within a woman, there are twelve gates that immediately are created. This is true. The premortal spirit comes inside the sperm during intercourse and seeks for an egg to fertilize. When it comes in contact with the egg it starts the process of creating new life. There are twelve open gates, or chakras, that immediately are established in the fertilized egg. This is then the start of a new life inside the mother! The spirit is able to align its own premortal spirit chakral energies with the twelve gates and then grow inside the mother's womb as a newly formed fetus."

-----------

The next passage reveals how God chooses the gender of their future spirit child. I think that you will find this very interesting:

70B8-70B13
"8. Heavenly Mother responded:
'One thing I wanted to share with you are the factors we use in choosing a particular intelligence to be a male or a female spirit child. Your Father and I come together as husband and wife and view our chosen intelligence we wish to create into our child. We then both look at this intelligence with our Godly foresight, and are able to see how that particular intelligence would be in the future as a male and then as a female spirit. We see out in the future each future possibility. We then share our thoughts with each other, what gender, male or female we feel would be best for our child, even before we ask this intelligence for their permission to create them into our child. We are always united on what gender, male or female, that intelligence should become before we approach them.

9. Once we settle on their gender, we then approach this intelligence and offer to make it our own son or daughter, in our own image. They always agree with our offer, seeing this as an exceeding great blessing and honor!

10. Once this intelligence accepts our offer, your Father brings them into his body. Later, when we come back to our celestial home, his holy sperm with the intelligence enters into my womb and this intelligence grows into a male or female spirit child. In the process of their growth, I have full control over their development. I create all male spirits differently from female spirits. I do this also by my creative power as their Mother God, or their Heavenly Mother. I control all development features of each child by my thoughts. These directed thoughts control the details of development of our future spirit baby. Nothing is happenstance, but all is decided and controlled in my womb from my thoughts. We decide on all the unique features of our future beloved son or daughter.

11. Raphael, you live in an era where many of our children are questioning their sexual identity. Some want to change their gender, or their sexual orientation. However, we have chosen their gender from the beginning and have carefully created each son or daughter spirit. These same spirits inhabit the physical bodies that are born to them on earth, by their earthly parents. In every case, the gender we have spiritually created becomes that same gender in the flesh. They are imbued with all the same male or female characteristics as they experienced in their premortal life. We are not pleased when our child thinks they should have been born as the opposite sex, or wants to change their God-given gender.

12. We have also planned for their physical bodies to have natural desires for the opposite sex. When this is disrupted somehow, there may be same gender attraction. This also has become a big issue in your day, even among the faithful. In these cases, we desire our child to come to us in meditation and prayer for assistance and help from us. They may also have evil spirits who possess these, our earthly children, and influence them in their sexual orientation or attraction. Now that those who are our elect each have a protective shield, these elect will be able to more easily correct their God-given desires towards their own sex and that of the opposite sex. For those who are not among our elect, they may pray for help from us, in the sincerity of their heart, and we will hear and answer their pleas.'

13. I was very glad for her clarification of these issues on gender selection from the beginning. I feel so glad I am a man! I am so pleased in how they chose to make each of us either a man or a woman. I feel very settled about all of this. I hope that those with these protective shields will soon have any same sex attraction or gender identity issues corrected."

Here is an entry I found on how I was personally created as a spirit from an intelligence. This understanding was received before the other posts above, in October 2017:

61D1-61D2
"1. This morning I had a prayer in the mortal chapel room in the temple in heaven. I was kneeling in front of the raised area, calling upon my Heavenly Parents. They both came in the door from my left side. I turned to face them on my knees. I gazed at their pleasant and happy faces! I then thanked them for the experience yesterday at the sacrament, when I saw my short visions of the future.

2. As I was confirming that this all happened, I came again, in my mind, to the time when Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother chose me as an intelligence entity, to become their offspring. I saw the process: When I gave my acceptance to their offer to have me become their son, Heavenly Father took me into his body. I went into his loins, into his testicles. This was where my intelligence resided until the holy seed from Father (via sperm) was placed into Mother's womb or uterus. I was transferred into her at this time where she gave me of her own body to grow into a spirit fetus. From here I grew until I was ready to be delivered, with my own spirit baby body that her body had created inside of her. This is the way that the Gods create their offspring! It was so ordained in the beginning, and continues today in yonder heavens. Only those ordained to this power are able to procreate in the eternities. It is an amazing and sacred process!"

I read under Moses 3:8 some very interesting information on the whereabouts of the garden of Eden, the birthplaces of Adam and Eve, and the garments they wore in the garden and after they were cast out of the garden:

May 21-22, 2024
"I prayed about the size and scope of the land of Eden and the garden of Eden. After praying over this for both days, here is what I received from Heavenly Father:

"Raphael, the original garden of Eden was located within what you call the temple square area in the celestial realms of the current New Jerusalem island. The garden was located starting 550 ft due east of the fountain of living water. It was 700 ft square, and extended to 1,250 ft. The four rivers in Eden began at the fountain, dividing into four rivers from the fountain, the same locations as the current four channels flowing out of the fountain. The land area called Eden was 3,000 ft x 3000 ft square, exactly the same as the current temple square area. It was all in the terrestrial realm on the earth."

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his wonderful revelation today, on May 22, 2024!

I then found this in post 179D17-179D21, from Heavenly Mother:

"R.S. sent you an email where he had the impression that the birthplace of Father Adam and Mother Eve could be the future location of the New Jerusalem.

R.S. is correct, for I gave him this impression that awoke him from his sleep. When your Father and I begat Adam and Eve in the flesh, this was in the very location where the future island city of the New Jerusalem will be built. I first birthed Adam and then Eve, and your Father and I raised them in the beautiful Garden of Eden nearby. It was a beautiful terrestrial earth in the garden at the time. Satan and his evil minions were not allowed in this garden, our home, until Adam and Eve were adults and had their full agency.

Once Adam and Eve were cast out of the Garden of Eden, this area of the New Jerusalem fell and became a telestial earth like all the rest of the world. The birth place of these two choice children, the progenitors of the human race then became erased from the memories and records of the human family, even until now when I have renewed this knowledge again to my humble servant R.S. and to you, Raphael. The exact location of the birth place of Adam and Eve was upon the ground where the celestial temple will one day be built.

These two individuals will also be the first ones that you will administer the waters of separation ordinance to in our holy temple! Oriphiel will record their names in the Lamb's Book of Life. These two great examples and righteous children will thereby show the rest of their vast posterity the way to enter the Church of the Firstborn.'

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for this exciting bit of knowledge, now revealed in our day at the beginning of the tribulations. I told her I treasured this truth, and felt honored to receive it from her very being."

5-22-2024: I later prayed about the precise location where Heavenly Mother birthed Adam and Eve. I was directed in my thoughts to the veil of the celestial temple, on the celestial earth side before one passes through the veil. I felt that this is where our first parents were born into the physical world by Heavenly Mother! There was no temple in that day, but it most likely occurred in the celestial earth realm.

They were born with physical bodies, quickened by their spirits, having no blood nor decay in their bodies. They grew in this state to adulthood, and would have remained forever in that state until the fall.

I also felt that Adam and Eve had a celestial garment that covered their nakedness. The garments grew, or were each changed out for a larger size, as they grew bigger. When they reached their full stature, this garment was always on them until they transgressed the commandment and ate of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. At that point, this celestial garment then departed, leaving them naked. This is why they suddenly tried to cover their nakedness with fig leaves.

Moses 4:27: "Unto Adam, and also unto his wife, did I, the Lord God, make coats of skins, and clothed them."

After they transgressed, Jesus Christ made a coat, or garment, for each to again cover their nakedness. I believe this wasn't made of animal skins, but of a similar skin or garment like they wore before in the garden. This garment is what they each wore as they left into the telestial lone and dreary earthly world. These thoughts of the garments is also born out in apocryphal records.

I took an Ancient Temple class at BYU with my wife and son in the fall/winter of 2022. In this class we read ancient texts about temples and such. I gave a presentation to the class in October 2022, along with other students. I will give part of this below as it relates to the garden of Eden experience. These are all my own thoughts from my studies of the scriptures and ancient texts:

--------

"My presentation title: "A compilation of the most plausible and inspired thoughts to me of the Garden of Eden experience, all taken from ancient texts and traditions, and modern revelations"

Conclusions of presentation: Adam and Eve were born from God the Father and Heavenly Mother, figuratively from the dust of the earth (probably the terrestrial or celestial earthly dust), in the same way children are all born.

Adam and Eve wore robes of light, created by God while they were in Eden. They were not naked.

When Eve and then Adam partook of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, their robes of light fell off, and they became naked.

God made coats (robes or garments) to cover the nakedness of their skins, and this likely was not created from animal skins.

Here is the information that supports the above conclusions:

1) Birth of Adam and Eve: "[God] created man, as we create our children; he said, for there is no other process of creation in heaven, on the earth, in the earth, or under the earth, or in all the eternities, that is, that were, or that ever will be." (Brigham Young, JD 11:122; cf. JD 3:319)

God created man in his own image, Gen. 1:26-28 (Moses 2:26-28; Abraham 4:26-28).

"And the Gods formed man (Adam and Eve) from the dust of the ground (this was figuratively speaking, from celestial dust, of a high glory based on many ancient texts), and took his spirit (that is, the man's spirit), and put it into him; and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul." (Abraham 5:7, my remarks parenthesis).

2) Adam and Eve wore robes of light since birth: Pirqe de Rabbi Eliezer also says that the garment of the first man was a "skin of nail" and he was covered with a "cloud of glory." After he sinned Adam was deprived of both the skin of nail and the cloud of glory and saw that he was naked. In another version, after Adam and Eve sinned, the garment of light fell from them. When they repented, God made for them another garment. (Stephen Ricks, The Garment of Adam, page 708). Adam and Eve wore the "robe of light" or the "robe of sanctity" before their fall; thereafter, they assumed a "garment of humility." (Ricks, page 708).

And the Lord God made for Adam and his wife garments of honor (to be worn) upon the skin of their flesh, and He clothed them. (Ricks, page 716).

In R. Meir's Torah it was found written, Garments of light ... refer to Adam's garments, which were like a torch [shedding radiance], broad at the bottom and narrow at the top. Isaac the Elder said: They were as smooth as a fingernail and as beautiful as a Jewel. R. Johanan said: "They were like the fine linen garments which come from Bethshean, (a) garment of skin meaning those that are nearest to the skin." (Ricks, page 706).

3) When Adam and Eve partook of the forbidden fruit, their terrestrial robes of light disappeared-they then knew they were naked.

Adam and Eve fell from a paradisiacal world in the Garden of Eden to a fallen telestial world outside the garden.

As they ate the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil their robes of light disappeared.

Once these robes of light disappeared, they realized were naked. Satan also told them they were naked.

Adam responded to Eve's transformation (of losing her robe in the Garden of Eden) by saying, 'Eve, I would rather die than outlive you. If Death were to claim your spirit, God could never console me with another woman equaling your loveliness!' So saying, he tasted the fruit, and the outer skin of light fell away from him also. The same tradition is also to be found among the Samaritans; cf John MacDonald, The Theology of the Samaritans (London: SCM, 1964), page 138. (Ricks, page 723).

4) God made coats (robes or garments) to cover the skins of Adam and Eve.

The two Hebrew words for "light" ("or) and "skin" ('or) differ in but the initial letters, and are pronounced alike in modern Hebrew. This explains why some traditions have the garments of the first couple made of light, others of skin. . . Targum Onkelos, Genesis 3:21, says that God "made garments of glory on the skin of their flesh." (John A. Tvedtne, Priestly Clothing in Bible Times, page 651). Some traditions indicate that Adam and Eve had been clothed with a horny (reptilian?) skin that fell off, leaving them naked, whereupon the cloud of glory that surrounded them departed. The garment of light, according to some accounts, was replaced by its earthly symbol, a garment of skin, after the fall. By this reckoning, the garment of skin given to the first human couple was their own skin, not that of animals. This makes even more sense when one considers that the Hebrew root for "nakedness" (crh) may be related to the word for "skin" (cor). The Book of the Rolls explains it this way: "After the clothing of fig-leaves they put on clothing of skins, and that is the skin of which our bodies are made, being of the family of man, and it is a clothing of pain. (Tvedtne, page 652).

Thou hast driven us out of Paradise and called us back. Thou hast taken away the fig-leaves, that garment of our misery, and clad us once more with a robe of glory. (Ricks, page 709).

And the Lord God made for Adam and his wife garments of honor (to be worn) upon the skin of their flesh, and He clothed them. (Ricks, page 716).

After he sinned Adam was deprived of both the skin of nail and the cloud of glory and saw that he was naked. In another version, after Adam and Eve sinned, the garment of light fell from them. When they repented, God made for them another garment. The first garment that Adam and Eve had worn fled to heaven, where it is now in the treasury of the heavens. (Ricks, page 708)."

There is more information about the telestial and terrestrial land at the time of Adam's fall listed under Moses 3:8 for those interested.

After I had copied all of these entries above, about Moses 3:5-9 and the creation of Adam and Eve, and of all the plants, animals, and other entities like the earth, water, atmosphere, I stopped searching for more in my Book of Raphael. I thought that what I had recorded was probably enough to satisfy what Heavenly Father asked me at the beginning of this post.

Heavenly Father had asked me to call upon him in prayer, once I had done this research and recorded these above, and then to ask for further enlightenment. I therefore found a quiet place and called upon my Father in Heaven. He immediately came in front of me, and asked me to write what he said:

"Raphael, I am glad that you have copied over many choice references in your Book of Raphael above! It is important that these truths be reiterated in your journal entry. It would be very laborious for many of our elect to search thoroughly in your very large record to find such important revelations.

When our beloved children read about the true facts of the creation of Adam and Eve, their first parents in the flesh, and of the pattern of their own spirit birth to their Heavenly Mother and me, they may then confirm if these are true. If they pray to me, with sincere hearts and open minds, about the truthfulness of what you have written, in the name of Jesus Christ, Heavenly Mother will witness of these truths to their souls by the power of the Holy Ghost. They may then have a very powerful knowledge of their divine heritage that will sustain them in their efforts to press forward to Zion, the New Jerusalem. We will be by their sides in every time of trouble and need."

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his words, and acceptance of what I had compiled in this journal post as pleasing to him.

__________________________________________

January 25-27, 2026

This morning I awoke, eager to read and study the word of God in the scriptures. I prayed to my Father in Heaven. He led me to a scripture in the Book of Mormon to study and ponder:

3 Nephi 5:23-26
"23 Yea, and surely shall he again bring a remnant of the seed of Joseph to the knowledge of the Lord their God.

24 And as surely as the Lord liveth, will he gather in from the four quarters of the earth all the remnant of the seed of Jacob, who are scattered abroad upon all the face of the earth.

25 And as he hath covenanted with all the house of Jacob, even so shall the covenant wherewith he hath covenanted with the house of Jacob be fulfilled in his own due time, unto the restoring all the house of Jacob unto the knowledge of the covenant that he hath covenanted with them.

26 And then shall they know their Redeemer, who is Jesus Christ, the Son of God; and then shall they be gathered in from the four quarters of the earth unto their own lands, from whence they have been dispersed; yea, as the Lord liveth so shall it be. Amen."

Mormon was the author of these words. He had made an abridgment of the history of the Nephites, according to the record of the plates of Nephi until his day. He said these words of himself:

3 Nephi 5:13-18
"13 Behold, I am a disciple of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I have been called of him to declare his word among his people, that they might have everlasting life.

14 And it hath become expedient that I, according to the will of God, that the prayers of those who have gone hence, who were the holy ones, should be fulfilled according to their faith, should make a record of these things which have been done—

15 Yea, a small record of that which hath taken place from the time that Lehi left Jerusalem, even down until the present time.

16 Therefore I do make my record from the accounts which have been given by those who were before me, until the commencement of my day;

17 And then I do make a record of the things which I have seen with mine own eyes.

18 And I know the record which I make to be a just and a true record; nevertheless there are many things which, according to our language, we are not able to write."

I feel a lot like Mormon, in that I have a similar mission to his recording a record that God commanded him. I know that I am the premortal Raphael, an archangel of God in the flesh. I know who I am, and like Mormon, I am also a disciple of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I have also been called of God to write a record of the revelations that my Gods have given to me. God has poured out remarkable and never before revealed revelations upon me in great abundance, and I have written all of them in my record, the Book of Raphael. I also, like Mormon, write my words even until the present time. I have recorded my revelations in my record from April 20, 2013 until today in 2026, for nearly thirteen years.

I have been asked by my Heavenly Father to keep my mortal identity secret for now: "Heavenly Father told me that all inquiries from you at this time are to be directed to him through humble and sincere prayer. He has power to direct each of his children who come to him with revelation, giving them answers to their questions, just as he has given to me. He will confirm all truth that he has given to me, to every humble and open seeker of truth."

In 3 Nephi 5:23, Mormon said that God will "again bring a remnant of the seed of Joseph to the knowledge of the Lord their God." Then in the next verse, in 3 Nephi 5:24, Mormon switched from Joseph to Jacob, saying that God would "gather in from the four quarters of the earth all the remnant of the seed of Jacob, who are scattered abroad upon all the face of the earth."

Mormon then continued in 3 Nephi 5:25 more on what God will do with the house of Jacob:

"And as he hath covenanted with all the house of Jacob, even so shall the covenant wherewith he hath covenanted with the house of Jacob be fulfilled in his own due time, unto the restoring all the house of Jacob unto the knowledge of the covenant that he hath covenanted with them."

I had written under this verse the following:

"October 1, 2024
The covenant in 3 Nephi 5:25 is the new and everlasting covenant, described in the scriptures (see Jeremiah 31:31-34). This is culminated in the New Jerusalem temple with the promise of eternal life."

I am impressed also with the next verse, 3 Nephi 5:26, wherein Mormon writes "then shall they know their Redeemer, who is Jesus Christ, the Son of God". Once they know Jesus Christ, he states "and then shall they be gathered in from the four quarters of the earth unto their own lands, from whence they have been dispersed".

Here is how I believe this all plays out in these last days, in my own words:

A remnant of the seed of Joseph (through Ephraim and Manassah, his two sons, those who are counted as the elect from these two tribes who are a remnant), in the last days will come to the knowledge of Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Ghost. Once they become awakened, they will be gathered along with a remnant of the house of Jacob from all over the earth. It's my opinion that the awakening of the tribe of Joseph will be the first ones of the group of the elect awakened to Jesus Christ. This is seen by so many of the tribe of Joseph in the initial gathering of the elect into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, starting with the prophet Joseph Smith who was of the tribe of Ephraim. I have been told that there are very many of the elect in this church (see my journal entry dated April 23-24_2025 and 3 Nephi 16:8).

The two ordained and commissioned head leaders in the flesh of this last days gathering are John the Revelator and Raphael. John is translated, and is a descendent of Judah through his father Jesus Christ, and Ephraim, of the lineage of Joseph, through his mother Mary Magdalene.(see Isaiah 11:10 and D&C 113:3-6). Raphael is also of the tribe of Ephraim, and has received a great commission (see Isaiah 11:1-2 and my notes under D&C 85:7). Ephraim has the role of leading the tribes of Israel in the last days (see Genesis 48:9-20). Seeing that these two servants are of the lineage of Joseph, this partly fulfills the prophecy of 3 Nephi 5:23, that God would "again bring a remnant of the seed of Joseph to the knowledge of the Lord their God". There would also be many of the seed of Joseph who are of the elect of God, who also are brought to the knowledge of their God.

Speaking of Joseph, son of Jacob and his blessings, the promised land of America would eventually be the inheritance of the seed of Joseph. There are several scriptures that attest to this:

Ether 13:8
"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, like unto the Jerusalem of old; and they shall no more be confounded, until the end come when the earth shall pass away."

Genesis 49:26
"The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren."

However, the initial gathering place for all the righteous elect, who are the tribes of Israel scattered over all the earth, is Zion, the New Jerusalem in the terrestrial realm of the earth. This is located in the center of the land of promise, in the United States of America. This telestial land is superimposed directly under the terrestrial land of the future Zion that will endure through the entire millennium. I believe the celestial is on top of the terrestrial, which is on top of the telestial, all superimposed in the same space. The lower physical spheres cannot see into a higher physical sphere(s) because of a veil. They all act independently.

After Jesus Christ comes to the earth, and things are settled out, some of those who have gathered to the New Jerusalem will be assigned their permanent lands of their inheritance in the terrestrial mortal realm of the earth. Their previous lands, on the telestial earth, will have been destroyed at the second coming of Jesus Christ. Therefore, all areas on the earth will have become new for settlement. The seed of Joseph will inherit the Americas, whereas the other tribes of Israel will initially inherit their own lands in the land now called Israel. There will be two world center capitals, the New Jerusalem in the western hemisphere, and Jerusalem in the eastern hemisphere (see Isaiah 40:9-10, 88F1-88F4, 94D5-94D6, and 72I19). I believe once the lands around the New Jerusalem and Jerusalem get fully occupied, there will be migrations to all parts of the earth by the people (see Isaiah 49:19-20).

The elect that are gathered to the New Jerusalem, just prior to the second coming of Jesus Christ to the earth, will be numbered among all the tribes of Israel. Some will be direct descendants of the tribes of Israel, and others will be adopted in (see Heavenly Father's words in my post 115I2). God will see them all as his elect, the tribes of Israel.

In 3 Nephi 5:25, Mormon talks about God's covenants:
"And as he hath covenanted with all the house of Jacob, even so shall the covenant wherewith he hath covenanted with the house of Jacob be fulfilled in his own due time, unto the restoring all the house of Jacob unto the knowledge of the covenant that he hath covenanted with them.""

I believe there is a covenant of gathering, and later an everlasting covenant. I believe that these are both referred to in this passage above, and are just called "the covenant". The first covenant is fulfilled once all of Israel is gathered from their telestial lands from across the earth, to Zion, the New Jerusalem. This is the gathering of the terrestrial to Zion from the telestial world. This first covenant of gathering will then be fulfilled at the second coming of Jesus Christ, for Christ will gather his elect as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wing:

D&C 10:65-66
"For, behold, I will gather them as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, if they will not harden their hearts;

The second covenant, the everlasting covenant, is for those who have pressed forward, with steadfastness in Christ, and because of their diligence and heed to the Spirit, he then chooses them to enter into the Church of the Firstborn. This is a second gathering of sorts, but this time for God's very faithful children to come into the celestial realm. This is personal invitation to partake of the new and everlasting covenant from Jesus Christ himself, the keeper of the gate, who employeth no servant there:

2 Nephi 9:41
"O then, my beloved brethren, come unto the Lord, the Holy One. Remember that his paths are righteous. Behold, the way for man is narrow, but it lieth in a straight course before him, and the keeper of the gate is the Holy One of Israel; and he employeth no servant there; and there is none other way save it be by the gate; for he cannot be deceived, for the Lord God is his name."
In my journal entry dated October 25-27, 2025, I gave references to this wonderful blessing that the faithful will receive in the everlasting covenant. A portion of this reference is copied below:

"I started to look again at my notes for the new and everlasting covenant. See Heavenly Father's words dated December 10, 2024 under D&C 2:1-3, D&C 1:22, 3 Nephi 20:22 about the new and everlasting covenant, and my notes in Moses 6:51-53,59-68 dated January 6, 2025.

In reading the above references, I was impressed with the following entry on July 14, 2024 under 3 Nephi 20:22:

"And behold, this people will I establish in this land, unto the fulfilling of the covenant which I made with your father Jacob; and it shall be a New Jerusalem. And the powers of heaven shall be in the midst of this people; yea, even I will be in the midst of you."

The powers of heaven are those found in the celestial Church of the Firstborn, located on the earth at the center of the island of the New Jerusalem, in the celestial realm of the earth. It is superimposed upon the terrestrial island. This is where the true eternal ordinances are administered by the angels to the chosen faithful, to begin their process of eternal life and exaltation.

After I have given my opinion above on the deeper meaning of 3 Nephi 5:23-26, I came in prayer before my Heavenly Father. I hoped that what I had written was inspired by the Holy Ghost. I wanted to hear from my Father directly, about why he chose this scripture for me to study, and if I had spoken correctly in my interpretation.

I then felt my Heavenly Father's presence directly in front of me! I knew he wanted to speak to me, and for me to write his words. Here is what he said:

"Raphael, I have chosen this scripture in 3 Nephi 5:23-26 for you to ponder and study. You have done well in evaluating each verse. One correction, however, is in 3 Nephi 5:25. You are correct that we make a covenant of gathering the elect from their telestial world to our terrestrial Zion, the New Jerusalem. However, this verse talks exclusively about the new and everlasting covenant, not the covenant of gathering.

The new and everlasting covenant was first introduced to Adam, but this is not fully explained in your scriptures. When Adam was baptized by the Holy Ghost, and immersed in the water, and brought forth out of the water, this was the part or the first covenant of the new and everlasting covenant:

Moses 6:64-68
"64 And it came to pass, when the Lord had spoken with Adam, our father, that Adam cried unto the Lord, and he was caught away by the Spirit of the Lord, and was carried down into the water, and was laid under the water, and was brought forth out of the water.

65 And thus he was baptized, and the Spirit of God descended upon him, and thus he was born of the Spirit, and became quickened in the inner man.

66 And he heard a voice out of heaven, saying: Thou art baptized with fire, and with the Holy Ghost. This is the record of the Father, and the Son, from henceforth and forever;

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

68 Behold, thou art one in me, a son of God; and thus may all become my sons. Amen."

Adam baptized Eve right after this experience with himself being baptized. Adam and Eve proceeded forth in their lives, both true, faithful and obedient in all things. At the end of their lives, Adam and Eve received the promise of eternal life from my Beloved Son, Jesus Christ who appeared to them. This was the main part of the blessing that Jesus gave to both Adam and Eve. Jesus called Adam as Michael and Eve as Sophia, their premortal names. Michael, being the chief archangel, was called a prince in the blessing, a prince over his posterity forever. Eve was called a princess over her posterity forever. Once they would receive the ordinances administered to them by the angels of God, they would become a king and a queen over their righteous posterity forever in eternity. This is all recorded in the original Book of Remembrance (see Moses 6:5). This event is partially described below:

D&C 107:53-56
"53 Three years previous to the death of Adam, he called Seth, Enos, Cainan, Mahalaleel, Jared, Enoch, and Methuselah, who were all high priests, with the residue of his posterity who were righteous, into the valley of Adam-ondi-Ahman, and there bestowed upon them his last blessing.

54 And the Lord appeared unto them, and they rose up and blessed Adam, and called him Michael, the prince, the archangel.

55 And the Lord administered comfort unto Adam, and said unto him: I have set thee to be at the head; a multitude of nations shall come of thee, and thou art a prince over them forever.

56 And Adam stood up in the midst of the congregation; and, notwithstanding he was bowed down with age, being full of the Holy Ghost, predicted whatsoever should befall his posterity unto the latest generation."

At this time, Adam and his wife Eve were chosen and invited into the Church of the Firstborn, our celestial eternal church, by Jesus Christ. However, the time of this event had to wait until the celestial Church of the Firstborn was actually established upon the mortal celestial earth, and not just in heaven. Jesus said that they would be brought into this eternal church as resurrected beings in the New Jerusalem Temple, under the hands of you, Raphael. This would happen in the last days before he, Jesus Christ, would come again to the earth in glory.

Once you established and dedicated our celestial church in the New Jerusalem temple (see your post 200D8-200D18), we commanded you to administer to Adam and his wife Eve the waters of separation ordinance, bringing them into our Church of the Firstborn (see your post 200E64-200E75). Following your own entry of coming into this church (see 200E40-200E42), Adam and Eve were the second and third members of the Church of the Firstborn. This event fulfilled the promise of Jesus Christ.

After the flood, Jesus Christ appeared also to Noah and his wife Emzara, and promised them eternal life. This was at same time as recorded in the Bible:

Genesis 9:8-9
"8 And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,

9 And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;"

The full account of this appearing to Noah and his wife Emzara is recorded in the Book of Noah. This is the same promise that was given by Jesus Christ to Adam and Eve.

Jesus Christ also appeared to Abraham as is recorded in your Bible. When Abraham was ninety-nine years old, he asked him to be perfect:

Genesis_17:1-2
"1 And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the Lord appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.

2 And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly."

Like he did to Adam and Eve, and to Noah and Emzara, Jesus made a promise with Abraham and Sarah, that one day they would be called and chosen to enter into the Church of the Firstborn, our celestial church:

Genesis 17:7-8
"7 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.

8 And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God."

The way that the promise of Jesus Christ was made to these noble men and women, by his choosing them to eternal life, is referred to in D&C 131:5:
"The more sure word of prophecy means a man’s knowing that he is sealed up unto eternal life, by revelation and the spirit of prophecy, through the power of the Holy Priesthood."

This is the promise that Adam and Eve, Noah and Emzara, and Abraham and Sarah all received by revelation from Jesus Christ. The fulfillment of this promise for them, and for every one of our faithful sons and daughters, is in the New Jerusalem Celestial Temple, as administered by you, Raphael. You are the only one commissioned and authorized by Jesus Christ to administer the waters of separation ordinance. Once they receive this ordinace, they are immediately brought into the Church of the Firstborn. Oriphiel, our recorder archangel who works with you, then records the ordinance in the Book of Life. Once recorded, we then give our unalterable promise and everlasting covenant that our children will progress and receive all the ordinances and steps necessary to be exalted as couple Gods in eternity!"

(end of Heavenly Father's words)

I responded to my Heavenly Father the following:

"Thank you my Father, for your wonderful words to me today! I feel so much light and clarity in my soul as I have written your message. Please confirm to every soul who humbly and openly address you in prayer, in the name of Jesus Christ, your Beloved Son, by the power of the Holy Ghost, the truth of these words. May they too then feel the abundant light and strong witness that I feel!"

Heavenly Mother then came in front of me, and stood on the left side of Heavenly Father. They looked at each other and smiled. Then Heavenly Mother turned to me and spoke:

"Raphael, as the Holy Ghost, I will bear witness of the truth of what your Father has revealed to you today, and that you have written in your journal to every sincere, humble child who approaches him in the openness of their heart and mind. This witness that I will burn into their soul will help sustain them in all their times of need. They will also know that we inspired you, our archangel Raphael in the flesh, in recording our very words in your Book of Raphael. This record will give them great comfort and focus in fulfilling our will and obeying our guidance in their lives.

The very most and greatest joy that we will ever receive in this eternity is when our obedient children begin their journey back to us in the New Jerusalem temple, now built on the celestial earth, and ultimately receive their exaltation in our celestial worlds above! Their entry into our holy celestial Church of the Firstborn will separate them from their brothers and sisters, and bring them into a position to receive all that we have to give them, even the riches of eternity! We and our new members of the Church of the Firstborn will rejoice together at this momentous event!

This is the very event that Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son, told Enoch would happen when his people come to the New Jerusalem:

Moses 7:63-64
"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.""

(end of Heavenly Mother's words)

My heart felt so very full and happy! I bowed my head before my Heavenly Parents in deep gratitude and love for them. Their light flowed into me in abundance, filled with their acceptance and joy.

I then became aware of my earthly surroundings. I then reviewed their words written above, and concluded my journal entry for today. I have also given links of scriptures above that have lots of information. In addition, here are other references I love about the everlasting covenant (there are lots!), many from the Book of Raphael:

The everlasting covenant:

January 28-29, 2026

I have been reading in alternate news like X (formerly Twitter) and watching some of my favorite conservative YouTube channels about what has been happening around the nation and world. I have prayed about this, whether it is important that I know what is really happening in the world, and I felt strongly that I needed to learn from reliable news sources. I know that the old news channels that I used to occasionally follow have been giving fake news and lies in order to deceive and blind the people, for they were controlled by evil and conspiring individuals and corporations who own these networks. This may seem crazy to some, but I have learned of their motives to give spurious and false news to the masses, for their various objectives, are just like Satan's tactics from the beginning. They truly are not trusted news sources, as are many online sources neither.

Therefore, I have sought prayerfully to find a group of what I consider true sources to help me understand what really is happening across the world. I have decided to choose my news sources based on what my Heavenly Parents have said about Donald Trump and the four years of relative peace that the United States will experience under his leadership (see my entry dated January 21, 2025, from both Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother). I have been listening to these conservative news sources, trying to decipher what is true nd what is not. It seems that the prophecy of Paul in 2 Timothy 3:7 "Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth." is alive in our day! (see also 108H1-108H3.)

As I was thinking about this over the past few days, I came upon a scripture below in the Book of Mormon that I felt I was led to read. This time was at the end of a very dangerous era among the Nephites when the Gadianton robbers infested the land and threatened to destroy their entire civilization. Their leader and prophet Lachoneus appointed Gidgiddoni as chief captain of the armies, to fight against Giddianhi, the Gadianton leader. See 3 Nephi chapters 2-5.

3 Nephi 5:4-6
"4 And now it came to pass that when they had taken all the robbers prisoners, insomuch that none did escape who were not slain, they did cast their prisoners into prison, and did cause the word of God to be preached unto them; and as many as would repent of their sins and enter into a covenant that they would murder no more were set at liberty.

5 But as many as there were who did not enter into a covenant, and who did still continue to have those secret murders in their hearts, yea, as many as were found breathing out threatenings against their brethren were condemned and punished according to the law.

6 And thus they did put an end to all those wicked, and secret, and abominable combinations, in the which there was so much wickedness, and so many murders committed."

Similarly, in our very time in the United States of America, there has been a concerted effort to destroy the liberty of our nation, and to bring tyranny, socialism and communism into our land. With President Donald Trump's administration, the abundant fraud and evil is being routed out of the land. He is aggressively and steadily finding the illegal aliens, particularly those who are evil and convicted of crimes like murder, rape, and robbery. I see that what the Nephites did to route out the Gadianton robbers is very similar to what Trump is doing to route out the illegal alien gangsters and robbers of federal funds, and the conspiracies and abundant fraud in our land that these evil ones are so tightly holding onto. The democrat leaders have been particularly evil in bringing in from all over the world these illegal aliens for their vote, and have perpetrated abundant fraud and conspiracies in the land for their own gain and ambition. This condition mirrors what has happened in our land with the last Biden administration that perpetuated so many secret organizations that funneled US tax dollars to their own non-approved projects. That administration brought so many illegal aliens into our land so they could manipulate the established laws so they could then vote for them and keep them in power:

I pray almost daily for the success of President Trump and the more righteous and wholesome people in our land in their efforts to turn all this evil around, and make America the land of peace, liberty and overall prosperity. What I fear most is not what will happen during these four years of the Trump administration, for I believe our Gods are going to make these four years of relative peace actually happen. What I do worry and fear is when Donald Trump leaves office. I pray that we, as a nation, will not turn to commit evil like the Nephites of old did, even after the robbers were destroyed, when the Nephites "did forsake all their sins, and their abominations, and their whoredoms, and did serve God with all diligence day and night" (3 Nephi 5:3). What the Nephites did in only a few years after repenting and turning righteous, was to destroy the peace and government in the land. This is what I fear is our greatest danger in the United States of America in its future.

This is how the evil started all over again in the land of the Nephites, just a few years after they were all righteous and a few years before the appearance of Christ to the preserved righteous Nephites:

3 Nephi 6:10-17
"10 But it came to pass in the twenty and ninth year there began to be some disputings among the people; and some were lifted up unto pride and boastings because of their exceedingly great riches, yea, even unto great persecutions;

11 For there were many merchants in the land, and also many lawyers, and many officers.

12 And the people began to be distinguished by ranks, according to their riches and their chances for learning; yea, some were ignorant because of their poverty, and others did receive great learning because of their riches.

13 Some were lifted up in pride, and others were exceedingly humble; some did return railing for railing, while others would receive railing and persecution and all manner of afflictions, and would not turn and revile again, but were humble and penitent before God.

14 And thus there became a great inequality in all the land, insomuch that the church began to be broken up; yea, insomuch that in the thirtieth year the church was broken up in all the land save it were among a few of the Lamanites who were converted unto the true faith; and they would not depart from it, for they were firm, and steadfast, and immovable, willing with all diligence to keep the commandments of the Lord.

15 Now the cause of this iniquity of the people was this—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.

16 And thus Satan did lead away the hearts of the people to do all manner of iniquity; therefore they had enjoyed peace but a few years.

17 And thus, in the commencement of the thirtieth year—the people having been delivered up for the space of a long time to be carried about by the temptations of the devil whithersoever he desired to carry them, and to do whatsoever iniquity he desired they should—and thus in the commencement of this, the thirtieth year, they were in a state of awful wickedness."

Then this is how the Nephite people broke up the righteous government of their land:

3 Nephi 7:1-6
"1 Now behold, I will show unto you that they did not establish a king over the land; but in this same year, yea, the thirtieth year, they did destroy upon the judgment-seat, yea, did murder the chief judge of the land.

2 And the people were divided one against another; and they did separate one from another into tribes, every man according to his family and his kindred and friends; and thus they did destroy the government of the land.

3 And every tribe did appoint a chief or a leader over them; and thus they became tribes and leaders of tribes.

4 Now behold, there was no man among them save he had much family and many kindreds and friends; therefore their tribes became exceedingly great.

5 Now all this was done, and there were no wars as yet among them; and all this iniquity had come upon the people because they did yield themselves unto the power of Satan.

6 And the regulations of the government were destroyed, because of the secret combination of the friends and kindreds of those who murdered the prophets."

I remember President Ezra Taft Benson, 13th President of the LDS Church, spoke on this very topic:

"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).

Mormon noted that the Nephites “did not sin ignorantly, for they knew the will of God concerning them” (v. 18)." (see The Savior’s Visit to America, April 1987.)

-----------

At this point, I wanted to find out if my Heavenly Father wanted to reveal to me anything that he might want to say on these things. I therefore knelt and asked Heavenly Father to come and reveal to me his will. I felt his presence come in front of me, and then he spoke to my heart and mind, these words:

"Raphael, you have done well in comparing the fall of the Nephites into sin and entrapment by Satan with your modern day, and the near future. I concur with your words and conclusions.

Your Heavenly Mother and I will rescue all our children who persist in following us, and obeying our Spirit. We cannot promise that your country will turn out to follow the Nephite example of so many following Lucifer and his evil ways, after the current Trump administration is completed. We do not know how they will all vote, for we give our children their full agency to choose whom they will serve, God or mammon" (Matthew 6:24). This is a conditional prophecy about their demise, whether to peace and life eternal, or whether to their ultimate destruction. If the majority of the citizens of your nation choose to vote for upstanding leaders who will safeguard the US Constitution and act uprightly before us, we will continue to prosper your nation with wealth, peace and freedom from aggression from all other nations. If the majority chooses evil leaders, your nation will not have our promised protection, and the assurance of our peace will be withdrawn.

However, in all cases, both in these next approximate three remaining years of President Donald Trump's administration, and during up to the following four years of the next president, we will focus our efforts in gathering our elect to your promised land. This is part of our great and marvelous work in these last days (see my notes dated July 14, 2024 under 1 Nephi 14:7.)! We desire that all of our faithful elect be brought to Zion, the New Jerusalem, in the terrestrial realm of the earth. This is our place of true safety and protection for our people whom we will bring into the millennial era, and who will meet Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son, in the clouds of heaven.

For those who do not heed our promptings and warnings, they will reap captivity and destruction, for we will not continue to speak to them if they reject our spiritual promptings.

1 Nephi 14:7
"For the time cometh, saith the Lamb of God, that I will work a great and a marvelous work among the children of men; a work which shall be everlasting, either on the one hand or on the other—either to the convincing of them unto peace and life eternal, or unto the deliverance of them to the hardness of their hearts and the blindness of their minds unto their being brought down into captivity, and also into destruction, both temporally and spiritually, according to the captivity of the devil, of which I have spoken.""

(end of Heavenly Father's comments)

January 30, 2026

This morning in my scripture study, I was lead by my Heavenly Father to read Exodus chapter 3. Here are the first six verses that I dwelt upon:

Exodus 3:1-6
"1 Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.

2 And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.

3 And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.

4 And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.

5 And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.

6 Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God."

I thought to also read verse 2 from the original Hebrew tongue. Here is what I found:

"And appeared the Angel of Yahweh to him in a flame of fire from the midst of a bush. So he looked and behold the bush was burning with fire but the bush not [was] consumed." (Source: Exodus 3:2 from the Hebrew Bible)

I read on to verse seven in both the King James version and the original Hebrew Bible translation into English. They both said that an angel was in the bush in verse 2, but then that Yahweh (Jehovah) spoke to Moses. According to these verses, the angel first appeared but there were no words from the angel.

I then felt to pray to my Father in Heaven about these verses, for I suspected there was some mystery hidden that was not revealed in the text.

My Father then clearly appeared before me, standing in front of me, elevated a little bit above the ground. He immediately spoke to me:

"Raphael, Bible scholars have various views of why an angel of God is in the midst of the burning bush, but then Jehovah is the one who speaks. I will reveal this mystery to you today.

Raphael, you were in my presence as my premortal archangel just before this happened. I commanded you to go to a bush in front of Moses who was on the mountain tending sheep. I asked you to show forth your glory in the midst of the bush so it appeared as on fire, but did not burn. I told you that once you got the attention of Moses, that he would approach the bush and wonder why the bush was not burnt. You continued to show your glory and keep the flame on the bush, to make it appear burning, through this entire experience.

At that moment, Jehovah, my Beloved Son whom I also named Jesus Christ, came by your side in the midst of the bush, in our celestial realm. You remained there, while he spoke to Moses out of the bush. You never spoke, and left with Jehovah after he gave Moses the rod. Moses did not see either of you, but was quickened by us to hear the voice of his Redeemer, and to receive a rod from his hand.

Raphael, the reason I sent both you and Jehovah to the bush was this: you would be the angel of the Lord in the future, involved in protecting Israel when the blood of the lamb marked their doorways, and later in a cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night. You were in the midst of the cloud between the hosts of Israel and the armies of Pharaoh when they all entered the dry ground of the Red Sea. We had many other angels assisting you at different times, but they all reported through you, our archangel Raphael. You acted as our messenger and agent to protect Moses and our people Israel from destruction, both from Pharaoh and his armies, and into the promised land (see my words to you on January 5-6, 2026).

Raphael, you were commissioned by me to be my messenger to speak to my prophets and chosen vessels at various times once man came forth on the mortal earth (see my words to you on March 14, 2025). I also had my Beloved Son, Jehovah, frequently speak to Moses and my prophets. I wanted you to witness first-hand the calling of Moses to his high and holy calling by Jehovah himself, and to be our messenger to do our work as we would ask you to do. You took your commands from both Jehovah, Heavenly Mother and me, as you continue to do even until today."

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his confidence in me, and for this honor to be his angel. I feel very committed to always respond to what he and my Gods ask me to do. I will keep their commandments. I feel very humble and open to all their revelations!

January 31-February 1, 2026

Today, after I prayed to be led to a scripture to ponder and study, Heavenly Father led me to this scripture:

D&C 76:114-119
"114 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;

115 Which he commanded us we should not write while we were yet in the Spirit, and are not lawful for man to utter;

116 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;

117 To whom he grants this privilege of seeing and knowing for themselves;

118 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.

119 And to God and the Lamb be glory, and honor, and dominion forever and ever. Amen."

I am curious why I have been given this exact same passage of scripture today, as I was given on my previous journal entry dated January 9-10, 2026. On that date, Heavenly Mother spoke to me exclusively. Maybe today, Heavenly Father wants to talk to me about this same scripture? During that time on January 9-10, Heavenly Father did not speak. However, Heavenly Mother had me quote him when she referred to my post 68A7-68A15, given in that January 9-10 journal entry.

I read through that entire journal entry dated January 9-10, 2026. After I had slowly read this, I prayed to my Heavenly Father. He came in front of me in my private room I was in. I asked him if he wanted to say anything about D&C 76:114-119. He then spoke to me these words:

"Raphael, my son, I want to add something to what your Heavenly Mother spoke to you on January 9-10, 2026 about D&C 76:114-119.

Today you will attend your local ward's fast and testimony meeting following the sacrament service. There are many who stand up, of all ages, who want to speak in the short time of sharing testimonies. However, if we have not enlightened them with revelation in their past, how can they bear witness of our reality, and of the things of a higher realm? They will need to have had an experience where we have shown them, or revealed to them our truths, in order to bear their witness to the group of believers. Some will express a belief that our abundant truths in the scriptures are true, or what others have said are true. Some have felt the Holy Ghost, bearing witness to their hearts and minds. Some feel the emotions of others among their congregation, or their expectations, and are confused, thinking that this is the Spirit of God.

However, so many are clueless to the reality of spiritual things, for they haven't been truly endowed with our light, glory and truths to a significant degree. Some rely on their past feelings, but have little such current enlightenment. Almost all of them are so immersed in their own telestial world. They know so very little of our higher realms, particularly of our celestial glory where we live, and of truths like we have revealed to you. It is a far lesser spiritual experience to read about spiritual experiences, and yet another one to participate directly in these celestial realm experiences. Joseph Smith and Sidney Rigdon, as recorded in D&C 76, each had an overwhelming experience of a series of revelations about the degrees of glory and the salvation of mankind through Jesus Christ. They both saw and participated in these revelations, each with great spiritual perceptions, and partaking of the grandeur of God. They expressed their feelings in D&C 76:114-119.

Our initial promptings to our children during the time of their awakening is usually through our still, small voice, and not a voice of thunder or great glory. We require those who receive our subtle, spiritual promptings to seek for more. When they pray in their secret prayers, with diligence and regularity, we will give them more, always basing what we share with their obedience to our previous promptings.

You had receive on Friday, August 14, 2020, words from your Heavenly Mother about the following scripture, that I would like to repeat again today, about those in the LDS Church (see your post 169E13, words in parenthesis in from Heavenly Mother):

Isaiah 28:9-10
"Whom shall he teach knowledge, and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? (The "he" here is God who reveals our will to our sons and daughters. What are the requirements to receive revelation?) them that are weaned from the milk and drawn from the breasts (our elect who hear our voice must wean themselves from the constant false dribble that now comes from leaders of the LDS church. How can they listen to those who are not inspired by God, but secretly by Satan, and then listen to us their Gods in their personal quiet time? The falsehoods they are used to must be severed in order to receive freshly our light and true revelation.)

For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept (repeated for emphasis); line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; (this is how we reveal our truths to the faithful: we give a little and see how they receive it then we give more, a little more, and not all at once. We let faith and actions take place in the lives of our elect, and we see how they do. Change in their lives is gradual but sure.)"
(end of Heavenly Mother's comments).

Everyone who comes to me, in the name of Jesus Christ, my Beloved Son, needs to shed their previous ideas of how we communicate with them in our celestial realms. When you first saw with your spiritual eyes, me with Jesus Christ on my right hand in an upper location, and then saw your Heavenly Mother come from behind us into your room, you were very surprised! (see "When Heavenly Mother Came", dated April 20, 2013). This is because we had never before opened your spiritual eyes so much that you could see us before you. You saw into our celestial realm where we dwell. You had many other spiritual experiences leading up to this, but never one so impacting. This was also true of Enoch, Abraham, Moses, Isaiah, and the young Joseph Smith in the grove of trees in the spring of 1820. With every one of these, we gradually led them, here a little, and there a little, gradually opening up more and more to them. They were humble, open and diligent in coming to us in sincere prayer. They were obedient to whatsoever we inspired them to do.

We will also lead all of our elect by the hand, giving them more and more spiritual experiences until they receive a similar experience where their spiritual eyes are significantly opened. They will be able to see into our celestial realm with spiritual eyes and understanding, and it will seem like it is all new to them. Up to that point, they will have been led by our still, small voice. Once they see one of us with spiritual eyes, they will then understand in a much more deep and significant manner.

Moses 1:5,11
"5 Wherefore, no man can behold all my works, except he behold all my glory; and no man can behold all my glory, and afterwards remain in the flesh on the earth.

11 But now mine own eyes have beheld God; but not my natural, but my spiritual eyes, for my natural eyes could not have beheld; for I should have withered and died in his presence; but his glory was upon me; and I beheld his face, for I was transfigured before him."

Here is what you wrote under this scripture that I want copied here:

204D13-204D31
"This afternoon I meditated in prayer, just trying to view the faces of my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother. I was able to visualize each one in my mind. I want to next see them act and move in vibrant color and in the surrounding areas I see them in. I want to see them with my spiritual eyes.

I have thought of the scripture in Moses 1:11, when Moses distinguished between his spiritual eyes and his natural eyes:

Moses 1:11-

"But now mine own eyes have beheld God; but not my natural, but my spiritual eyes, for my natural eyes could not have beheld; for I should have withered and died in his presence; but his glory was upon me; and I beheld his face, for I was transfigured before him."

I had a question about Moses 1:5-

"Wherefore, no man can behold all my works, except he behold all my glory; and no man can behold all my glory, and afterwards remain in the flesh on the earth."

I wondered how this last scripture relates to those of us who receive a merged mind? I wondered if we will view all the glory of God, or a partial view of this glory, for how else could we continue with our missions in the flesh if we viewed all of God's glory?

I came this evening to the steps of the Great Assembly Hall, on the western shores of Lake Beautiful. I had a beautiful view of the lake, with a lovely sunset. I knelt on a step and faced the lake. I asked for my Heavenly Father to come. I kept my eyes open towards the sky and the water in front of me.

A bright beam then shone from the sky to the water's edge. Heavenly Father next appeared in glory, in the air a few feet above the water. He walked a few steps to a place right in front of me. I bowed my head, but was able to still gaze intently upon his glorious face. I was able to zoom up in my spiritual sight close to his eyes, so that I could clearly see into his deep and clear eternity eyes.

He smiled at me and asked me to write what he said: 'Raphael, you are brought back into my presence and glory, and can withstand my full celestial glory, radiance and light. Your Heavenly Mother and I have come before you like this multiple times, and have even brought you into our highest celestial realm. We have shed upon you our full glory at various times. You are able, however, to remain in the flesh on earth.

The way we have been able to have you continue in the flesh as a mortal man, is that we have appeared to your replicated celestial being, and not your mortal being. Had we appeared to you in your mortal body, you would have had to be transfigured in your flesh to behold our glory, but then afterwards you would of necessity be permanently changed from being a mortal man.

The way we allow you to behold our full glory and afterwards remain in the flesh is to appear to your replicated celestial being. We may then show you all of our glory, and much of our works without interrupting your mortality.

With your merged mind, you may view clearly in the flesh, in your mortal conscious mind, all that we may reveal to you in your replicated celestial being. You may record these visions as we direct, and share them with other mortal beings.

When you come to the New Jerusalem, you will come in the flesh, from your telestial mortal world to the terrestrial mortal world. This will become your new mortal location for your earthly body on earth. You will continue having prayer experiences with your Heavenly Mother and me in your replicated celestial being, and be able to view these in your mortal conscious mind. The manner of viewing us in your terrestrial mortal body is the same as you are now learning in your telestial mortal body.

Moses was correct when he said he saw God with his spiritual eyes, and not his natural eyes. His natural eyes were the eyes in his mortal telestial body. His spiritual eyes were those in his replicated celestial man that came before us. This is the same manner by which you also are able to view us in conscious reality in your mortal mind. During the vision of seeing God that Moses had, he saw God in his unconscious mind, and the veil between his mortal mind and his celestial replicated mind was lifted during his vision. In this manner, he was truly talking face to face with God.

Moses saw and talked with our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, similar to how Enoch talked with Jehovah (see Moses 7:53). You see and talk primarily with your Heavenly Mother and me in a similar way. However, with the blessing of a merged mind, you may view our interactions in your conscious mortal mind instead of your unconscious mind.'

Heavenly Father then reached out with his right index finger and touched both of my eyes. These were my celestial eyes in my replicated celestial being. He then asked me to look upon him again, and to tell him if I saw him in any greater clarity.

I initially saw him moving his hand and returning it to his side. I sought to view him in my conscious mind with even more clarity and vision. I saw his light blue eyes, and white hair, but not other colors in clearness.

He then smiled, and said he and Heavenly Mother would continue to help me as I sought to exercise faith in learning to use my new blessing of a merged mind.

A white cloud came around him so that all that was visible was his face. I gazed upon him and saw the bright yellow light of the sunset behind him envelop his head, shining through his white hair. He then stepped back into his column of light and traveled back up into the celestial sky, and was gone.

I thanked him for my prayer experience tonight. I thanked him for the blessings to have seen a little more clearly tonight. I thanked him also for having my question answered."
(end of 204D13-204D31)

March 19, 2023 (recorded under Moses 1:5,11)
Moses saw God (Jesus Christ) face to face (verse 2), and talked with him. This was not with his natural eyes with which we see in mortality in the telestial world, but with his spiritual eyes. The spiritual eyes can see beyond this mortal realm at times, like happened to Moses. The natural eyes in mortality cannot behold God, for the body would wither in God's presence. Moses instead had to be transfigured, or brought up into a realm higher that the telestial, even to the celestial realm. In his quickened state, Moses saw with his spirit eyes, or spiritual eyes, the things that God wanted to show and reveal to him. I believe that at no time is God lowered to a telestial or terrestrial state, but the one receiving the revelation is brought up to where God is, even into the celestial realm. This is only understood by those who have this experience to commune with God, or see visions or dreams in the celestial realm. Once one has this experience, he or she understands these type of revelatory scriptures, and how it happens. Until that happens to an individual, they cannot fully understand, but somehow think they will see with their natural eyes."
(end of Moses 1:5,11 comments)

Father continued speaking:
"Raphael, when we activate and open the spiritual eyes of our sons and daughters to our glory and presence, it is an very welcome and exhilarating experience for them! This is a significant step up into our celestial realm, from their telestial or terrestrial mortal realm! When we speak to or prompt our children with the Spirit of Christ, or with the Holy Ghost, they do not receive such a view or deep spiritual understanding. At these times of receiving only our promptings from the Spirit, they still receive these spiritual impressions into their unconscious minds, but the veil is still strong over their mortal minds. When they finally see us with their spiritual eyes, the veil is rent, and they experience a face-to-face moment. They then almost always communicate with us through their thoughts, and not by audible words. When the scriptures say that our prophets spoke to us, and we to them, it is through the transmission of thoughts. They see us with spiritual eyes and hear us with spiritual ears, being quickened by the Spirit and brought into our celestial realm. This is very real, and sometimes seems to them like it is an audible and visual experience, with their natural senses. This is the way that they almost exclusively communicated with us in their premortal experience on our celestial orb, prior to their birth on earth.

Joseph Smith, our prophet, said this: "Could you gaze into heaven five minutes, you would know more than you would by reading all that ever was written on the subject" (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 324). When he saw both Jesus Christ and me, his Heavenly Father, we came to him in our celestial glory, and he was quickened to be in our celestial presence. Every time he came into our presence again, in our celestial realm, he understood more than anyone who had never been in that higher realm.

Moses 6:34-36
"34 Behold my Spirit is upon you, wherefore all thy words will I justify; and the mountains shall flee before you, and the rivers shall turn from their course; and thou shalt abide in me, and I in you; therefore walk with me.

35 And the Lord spake unto Enoch, and said unto him: Anoint thine eyes with clay, and wash them, and thou shalt see. And he did so.

36 And he beheld the spirits that God had created; and he beheld also things which were not visible to the natural eye; and from thenceforth came the saying abroad in the land: A seer hath the Lord raised up unto his people."

When Enoch anointed his eyes with clay, his spiritual eyes were opened, and he saw with spiritual perception. This was from a celestial perspective, for Jesus Christ who appeared to him, gave him this Godly ability at that time. As verse 36 states, this gift was not available in the natural eyes, but by a gift from God, using his quickened spiritual eyes. The spiritual eyes are those that the spirit of man may see with, which spirit resides inside his mortal body. It is with these spiritual eyes that replicated celestial mortals may also see. These spiritual eyes, if that individual is transfigured before God or replicated before us as a celestial being, and brought into God's celestial realm, may see things according to the will of God. My son or daughter who has such an experience, may then return to their flesh and continue living in mortality. This was the case with Enoch.

Once one of our children experiences seeing with their spiritual eyes, that have come into our celestial glory by one of us Gods, they have a big advantage over those who have never had such an experience. They remember so much of what the celestial realm is like, and their understanding of God's realm is great. Enoch and Joseph Smith were both called seers, for they saw into the celestial realm and talked with God.

Members of the LDS Church have the belief that their current members of the First Presidency and members of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles are all prophets, seers and revelators. However, none of them have seen into our celestial realm, so how can they be seers? They are not, but have received in their life previously spiritual experiences with the Holy Ghost. They are all now as other men and women, never having seen into the heavens nor communed with God, like Joseph Smith, the prophet of the restoration, and our seers of old.

Raphael, you have been chosen by your Heavenly Mother and me to to come again into our presence, beginning in April, 2013. It was at that time that we brought you into our celestial realm, that was superimposed upon your telestial mortal realm. You could see us throughout that day in your energy class, but nobody else in that class could see us. Your spiritual eyes and ears were all awakened, and you conversed with us by thought communication for the entire class day.

Raphael, you have continued a daily communication with us directly, day by day. Each major interaction you have experienced is recorded in your Book of Raphael. We have brought you into our presence thousands of times over the last nearly thirteen years, and now your mortal mind is merged with your unconscious mind. Both minds are part of your spirit, and linked now to your physical body. In the premortal life these two minds (mortal mind and unconscious mind) were one, but in mortality they are separated with a veil. When you see us, and communicate with us, like I am doing now with you, you hear us in your thoughts, and then your mortal mind perceives it and you write down what we say. This merging of your mind is a very big blessing from us, your Gods! You are our seer and prophet, for which I commissioned you to be in these last days prior to and directly after the second coming of Jesus Christ (see your commissioned references here). You see into our celestial realm on the earth or in heaven daily, and we speak to you, face to face. You have walked with us many times, and speak to us as one man speaks with another, only in a more elevated thought transfer communication manner."
(end of Heavenly Father's words)

I responded to my Heavenly Father, who was still in front of me:

"My Father, I feel so very blessed to be privileged to hear your voice so clearly in my thoughts, and to have the blessing of a merged mind! I perceive so much more that I used to, before I had come into your celestial realms above! I thank you for these great blessings to my personal life, and to that of my family! Thank you also for this great commission that you have given me. I commit to always keep your and Heavenly Mother's commandments that you give to me personally. Thank you for trust and confidence in me!"

February 2-3, 2026

This morning in my scripture study, I was carefully led to one verse in the Book of Mormon:

3 Nephi 8:23
"And it came to pass that it did last for the space of three days that there was no light seen; and there was great mourning and howling and weeping among all the people continually; yea, great were the groanings of the people, because of the darkness and the great destruction which had come upon them."

I don't know why I was given this scripture to ponder. However, I fully want to be led by my Father in Heaven, and I feel he led me to this scripture.

I wondered if this experience of thee days of darkness among the Nephites, before the visit Jesus Christ among them, is a type of things to come just before the second coming of Jesus Christ?

As I pondered this question, I perceived the presence of my Heavenly Father in front of me, in my room. I was on my computer typing this down. He spoke to me in my thoughts, and told me to write his words:

"Raphael, this is your Heavenly Father speaking to you. I am speaking to you in your thoughts. I am before you transferring these thoughts to your mind, even as I explained to you yesterday in detail.

You are correct that I have led you to ponder this one verse in 3 Nephi 8:23. This verse is a type of an event proceeding the second coming of Jesus Christ.

On October 23-24, 2025, I referred to D&C 88:95 in your scripture study. I have included part of what I said below:

"You are correct that there are remarkable parallels between the coming of my Beloved Son Jesus Christ to the Nephite nation, and the coming of Jesus Christ to the entire earth at his second coming. The Nephite record is a prototype of his second coming. His coming to the Nephites was accompanied by great physical upheavals and destructions upon the wicked in the promised land. He spoke directly to all the inhabitants of that land, and then the people heard my own voice, announcing his arrival from the heavens.

Similarly, just prior to the second coming, all the inhabitants of the earth will hear the voice of Jesus Christ from the heavens (D&C 43:18,23, D&C 45:49). This will be preceeded by great physical upheavals, calamities and destructions, upon all the face of the telestial earth. Only those gathered in Zion, the New Jerusalem, and those who later gather in the clouds above the earth with the righteous, will have peace and safety.

There will also be silence in heaven for half an hour (Revelation 8:1-2 and D&C 88:95), just like there was prolonged silence abroad on the land of the Nephites after the great and terrible storm and destructions. At the second coming, the voice of Jesus Christ and the sounding of the trumps of the angels will again be heard, just prior to his glorious appearance to all peoples on the earth.

The angels of God will first be gathered in the clouds of heavens. They will be joined in the skies in quick succession by various groups of the righteous. The first group will be those who were resurrected at the time of Christ's resurrection. Next will be those who were translated in the flesh, who belong to Enoch and Melchizedek's bands, and a few others. These will just then have been resurrected, and will come forth in their glory. Next will come those who have been awaiting their glorious celestial resurrection from the afterlife spirit world. These will all be immediately resurrected, and gathered in the skies. This group includes all the righteous dead from the time of Christ's resurrection to the present. They will include the celestial resurrection of the heathen nations who knew no law in mortality, but accepted the gospel teachings in the world of the spirits (D&C 45:54). At this point, all my angels and all my celestial resurrected children will be assembled in the heavens.

These will be then joined by all the inhabitants of the celestial orb who have yet to be born in mortality on the earth during the great millennium. Finally, the mortal terrestrial and translated righteous who will be faithfully waiting in the New Jerusalem and over all the earth in mortality, will be caught up in the clouds of heaven. These will be all quickened to a celestial glory until they descend to the earth, for they will remain mortal once back on earth.

All of these dedicated followers of Jesus Christ, of heaven and of earth, will be poised in the skies above the earth when Jesus Christ, the bridegroom, will come in great glory and power! He will take his position at the front of this large gathering in the heavens.

Again, the voice of Jesus Christ will be heard by all the inhabitants of the earth and in the heavens, similar to how he spoke to the Nephite inhabitants. When he is finished with his address, I will utter my voice from the heavens, in introducing my Beloved Son to the earth.

Jesus Christ will then first descend alone to the earth and set his foot upon the Mount of Olives in the telestial world at Jerusalem (see D&C 45:48-50). He will show his wounds to the Jews who are waiting for the Messiah to come. He will speak to them "These wounds are the wounds with which I was wounded in the house of my friends. I am he who was lifted up. I am Jesus that was crucified. I am the Son of God." (D&C 45:52) The Jews in Jerusalem will then be spared and their enemies who surround them destroyed.

Immediately after this appearance, Jesus Christ will come back again to his place in the heavens. At this point, the mighty arm of the Lord will fall upon the wicked living on the entire earth. The mortal inhabitants on the earth and the telestial earth itself will be burned with unquenchable fire coming from Jesus Christ, until the telestial mortal earth will be no more (see Malachi 4:1, D&C 60:23 and D&C 29:9). The wicked who die will all transfer into the telestial spirit world prison. The destroyed, burned and melted telestial earth will return to elemental matter to the location outside the universe boundaries where these same materials were first gathered by us Gods, prior to the earth's creation. The intelligence of mother earth will remain with her spirit and physical creations, for only the physical telestial portion will be shed and removed.

There will then be a terrestrial and celestial physical earth remaining. Those who are to be spared this destruction on earth, like the Jews in Jerusalem, will all transition into the terrestrial realm of the mortal earth in order to be spared from the telestial destruction upon the wicked.

Jesus Christ will then descend with the angels and the righteous hosts of heaven who are in the clouds of heaven to the New Jerusalem on the terrestrial physical world. Jesus Christ will set foot upon the island of the New Jerusalem, in the terrestrial realm of that island. All the hosts of heaven who accompanied him will also settle on this island for a short time, all enjoying the splendor of the moment, and appearing to each other in a great glory and happiness. They will witness their Redeemer before them who will again speak to them all. When he is finished, Jesus Christ will dismiss the unborn hosts of the celestial orb to return to their home. He will next dismiss the resurrected hosts to their assigned locations, most which will return to a different section of the celestial orb than the unborn spirits dwell in. Those who remain on the terrestrial physical earth will be the angels, a few resurrected people, some translated terrestrial individuals (most who comprised the 144,000), and the terrestrial mortal elect."
(end of your October 23-24, 2025 journal entry excerpt)

Father continued:

Raphael, today I want to share more details of similarities of the Nephite appearing of Jesus Christ to the second coming of Jesus Christ. This will complete my discussion of this monumental event, with the parallels between them.

In the Nephite record, there was a great and terrible storm and tempest. There were vivid lightnings, severe earthquakes and catastrophic volcanic activity. The parallel of this event in the last days is the coming of the sign of the Son of Man. This will occur just prior to the actual appearing of Jesus Christ to all the inhabitants of the earth, in the clouds of heaven.

Matthew 28:30
"And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory."

Joseph Smith Matthew 1:36:
"And, as I said before, after the tribulation of those days, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken, then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven, and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn; and they shall see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory;"

D&C 88:93
"And immediately there shall appear a great sign in heaven, and all people shall see it together."

Here is what I told you about the sign of the coming of the Son of Man, in your post 56H3-56H4, on August 22th, 2017:

"3. Heavenly Father spoke to me:
Raphael, the video you watched tonight about Planet X, or Nibiru, is mostly true. We have designed your solar system to be linked to a second binary star that rotates around the sun. This smaller star is not nearly as large as the sun, and isn't visible very often to those on earth. When it does approach and come close to the earth, this star, with it's high gravitational pull and magnetic properties, and the planets, moons and asteroids that orbit or trail Nibiru, will cause many problems for the inhabitants of the earth. These will create devastations that we have designed, as part of the tribulations coming to the earth. This event will be what the prophet Joseph Smith said, that people will mistakenly think it is the second coming of the our Son Jesus Christ, but it will be a planet or a comet.'

4. Later I looked this quote from Joseph Smith:
"Judah must return, Jerusalem must be rebuilt, and the temple, and water come out from under the temple, and the waters of the Dead Sea be healed [see Ezekiel 47:1–9]. It will take some time to rebuild the walls of the city and the temple, etc.; and all this must be done before the Son of Man will make His appearance. There will be wars and rumors of wars, signs in the heavens above and on the earth beneath, the sun turned into darkness and the moon to blood, earthquakes in divers places, the seas heaving beyond their bounds; then will appear one grand sign of the Son of Man in heaven. But what will the world do? They will say it is a planet, a comet, etc. But the Son of Man will come as the sign of the coming of the Son of Man, which will be as the light of the morning cometh out of the east [see Joseph Smith—Matthew 1:26]."
(Reference 1, also Reference 2)"

See also what you experienced in 56L5-56L10:
"5. I knelt and raised my hands high above my head, calling upon Heavenly Father, Heavenly Mother and Jesus Christ to come to me. I saw them next exiting the temple doors in heaven in the near distance, and walking side-by-side to me until they were all three in front of me.

I looked into their faces, eyes and saw them each smile at me. It seemed Heavenly Mother was wearing a crown for an instant, then it went away.

I then opened my prayer. In my short opening words, I asked about whether Planet X or Nibiru was a planet rotating around the binary star, or whether it was one-in-the-same heavenly body.

6. Heavenly Father answered me:

'Raphael, stand before us, and hold your Heavenly Mother's left hand with your right hand. We will go to this star that will soon come near earth!'

7. I stood, and took my Heavenly Mother's hand. We were immediately in the sky above a large glowing but somewhat dark heavenly body in space. Heavenly Father spoke again:"

'Raphael, the object below us is the binary star Nibiru that rotates around the sun in a very long elliptical orbit. It is the only large body heading towards the earth.

8. Its trajectory path will pass by earth twice–on the way towards the sun and then on its way again out into space. It has this regular orbit, rotating fully nearly every 4,000 years.

As it passes by the earth both times, it will cause great upheavals in the magnetic and physical earth, causing great tribulations to come upon the earth.

9. Nibiru is the great sign of the coming of the Son of Man that was spoken of by Joseph Smith the prophet. Some will call it a comet since there are many smaller asteroids, moons or small planets, which trail its path. These also will appear as fulfillment of the sign of stars falling from heaven to the earth. However, the great upheaval to your planet earth will be caused from the large gravitational and magnetic influence of Nibiru itself. This will cause a great earthquake to open up the flow of living water to the surface of the earth in Jackson County, Missouri.'

10. We stood silent for a moment over the heavenly body Nibiru. I knew it was many times larger than the planet earth, and was what we call a small dwarf star. I believe it has already entered our solar system."
(end of 56L5-56L10)

Raphael, on its first pass towards the sun, Nibiru passed by the earth, and affected the terrestrial earth, with the opening of living water flowing to the surface of the earth. This pass was not seen or felt on the telestial earth. At the present time, Nibiru is waiting around the sun, so that the inhabitants of the earth cannot see Nibiru. (see 191F14 and 191F19-191F22). We are controlling the entire orbit and movement of Nibiru, including its current stationary status. We also control whether it comes in its telestial or terrestrial state around the earth, for our various purposes.

When Nibiru comes on the second pass to the earth, it will come in the telestial realm of the mortal earth. This is the sign of the coming of the Son of Man. This passing will cause great upheavals on the telestial earth, but will not affect the terrestrial earth. Many on the telestial earth will die with the coming of Nibiru and the great destructions its passing will cause on the earth. Those who remain will mourn and howl, like the surviving Nephites did at the great destruction on the land of America at that time.

D&C 88:87-91
"For not many days hence and the earth shall tremble and reel to and fro as a drunken man; and the sun shall hide his face, and shall refuse to give light; and the moon shall be bathed in blood; and the stars shall become exceedingly angry, and shall cast themselves down as a fig that falleth from off a fig tree.

And after your testimony cometh wrath and indignation upon the people.

For after your testimony cometh the testimony of earthquakes, that shall cause groanings in the midst of her, and men shall fall upon the ground and shall not be able to stand.

And also cometh the testimony of the voice of thunderings, and the voice of lightnings, and the voice of tempests, and the voice of the waves of the sea heaving themselves beyond their bounds.

And all things shall be in commotion; and surely, men’s hearts shall fail them; for fear shall come upon all people."

There will also come thick darkness upon the surface of the broken telestial earth, similar to the darkness experienced by the Nephites. This will be caused by the abundant volcanic activity that will erupt with the close passing of Nibiru. Here is what the record says about the darkness among the Nephites:

3 Nephi 8:20-22
"And it came to pass that there was thick darkness upon all the face of the land, insomuch that the inhabitants thereof who had not fallen could feel the vapor of darkness;

And there could be no light, because of the darkness, neither candles, neither torches; neither could there be fire kindled with their fine and exceedingly dry wood, so that there could not be any light at all;

And there was not any light seen, neither fire, nor glimmer, neither the sun, nor the moon, nor the stars, for so great were the mists of darkness which were upon the face of the land."

Once the sign of the coming of the Son of Man passes, then the voice of Jesus Christ will be heard over all the telestial and terrestrial earth. Everyone will hear his voice in their own language, and they will understand his message. This is similar to what occurred when Jesus spoke to all the inhabitants of the Nephites in 3 Nephi chapter 9.

After Jesus Christ finishes speaking from the heavens to the inhabitants of the earth, there will be a great silence, for those on the earth will be extremely astonished. This same silence occurred among the Nephite survivors in America:

3 Nephi 10:1-2
"And now behold, it came to pass that all the people of the land did hear these sayings, and did witness of it. And after these sayings there was silence in the land for the space of many hours;

For so great was the astonishment of the people that they did cease lamenting and howling for the loss of their kindred which had been slain; therefore there was silence in all the land for the space of many hours."

D&C 88:95
"And there shall be silence in heaven for the space of half an hour; and immediately after shall the curtain of heaven be unfolded, as a scroll is unfolded after it is rolled up, and the face of the Lord shall be unveiled;"

The silence in heaven is for an actual half an hour in earth time, and not to be thought of as a type of a longer period of silence (see also your posts 21J2 and 22C24). The type of this half an hour is the silence among the Nephites that occurred with the darkness upon the land for three days, after the voice of Christ was heard upon the land:

3 Nephi 10:1
"And now behold, it came to pass that all the people of the land did hear these sayings, and did witness of it. And after these sayings there was silence in the land for the space of many hours;"

In the future day, just before Jesus Christ comes in his glory in his second coming, this is the time of the silence for half an hour (see D&C 88:95 above and Revelation 8:1). There was another time in heaven, when I referred to silence in heaven for half an hour (see 21H6-21H9). However, this silence will happen again, this time on the earth just prior to the coming of the Son of Man to the earth. The first silence of half an hour was when I gave you and your archangel brothers your trumpets. These same trumpets will be blown by my archangels in the heaven above the telestial earth, at different times during this time of the second coming of Jesus Christ to the earth. See D&C 88:92,99-100,102-106.

The destruction of those remaining on the telestial mortal earth will come when my Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, comes in the brilliance of his glory in the clouds of heaven. The fire of his wrath will consume all these telestial inhabitants, as well as all that remains telestial on the physical earth. When he descends with our faithful sons and daughters, he will come to the terrestrial earth at the New Jerusalem. Just prior to his appearing to all the inhabitants of the telestial and terrestrial earth, I will utter my voice, announcing his arrival, as I did to the Nephites who were spared:

3 Nephi 11:7
"Behold my Beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased, in whom I have glorified my name—hear ye him."

Once I have spoken, Jesus Christ will appear in the clouds of heaven! This will then be the great and terrible day of the Lord:

Joel 2:10-11
"10 The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining:

11 And the Lord shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the Lord is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?""

(end of Heavenly Father's words)

February 5, 2026

This morning I came to my quiet room for my personal prayer and scripture study. I love this time of day, for it is in my meditations like today where I may commune directly with my Heavenly Parents. Today I asked my Father in Heaven where I should study. He led me to the following two verses:

Joseph Smith Matthew 1:31-32
31 And again, this Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world, for a witness unto all nations, and then shall the end come, or the destruction of the wicked;

32 And again shall the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, be fulfilled.

I studied many of the references in verse 32 to the word abomination, to abomination of desolation, and found this verse in 1 Nephi 22:13-14 I liked:

"13 And the blood of that great and abominable church, which is the whore of all the earth, shall turn upon their own heads; for they shall war among themselves, and the sword of their own hands shall fall upon their own heads, and they shall be drunken with their own blood.

14 And every nation which shall war against thee, O house of Israel, shall be turned one against another, and they shall fall into the pit which they digged to ensnare the people of the Lord. And all that fight against Zion shall be destroyed, and that great whore, who hath perverted the right ways of the Lord, yea, that great and abominable church, shall tumble to the dust and great shall be the fall of it."

It seems to me that in these last days, that the great and abominable church, the whore of all the earth that Nephi speaks about, will be destroyed by internal conflict and war. Nephi specifically refers to nations warring with each other. We are living in a day when the nations of the earth are very wicked and full of abominations. In our own land of the United States, there has been great evil that just days ago was uncovered with the public release of several million pages of emails and images from the Jeffrey Epstein's sex and perversion files. These are now made publicly available by the US Department of Justice. These secret evil acts committed by elite leaders of government and industry are extremely abominable, and are all verified as true. About half of the total files have been made publicly available so far, but what is now public is very evil and shocking!

These newly released files, showing great evil and secret abominations, are part of the great and abominable church of the devil. These hidden secrets of our time are now being revealed. Those who committed great sins in secret are falling "into the pit which they digged" (see verse 14 above).

I know too that the Turning Point USA organization, created by Charlie Kirk, recently murdered in Utah County, is growing fast across the United States. His widow now and their Christian organization have been targeted by the wicked elites in our land, to be suppressed and destroyed. However, this attempt has only backfired, and now some of those elites are being exposed for their gross wickedness. There are also reports among the younger people of our nation of an increase in church attendance, getting married and having babies.

Anyway, I want to know why I was to study these two scripture verses above. I prayed to my Heavenly Father, asking for his revelations on this subject to me.

He came in front of me, and spoke to me these words:

"Raphael, my son, you are living in the days of the fulfillment of these prophecies in Joseph Smith Matthew 1:31-32. I would like to comment first about verse 31.

Many in the LDS Church say that the gospel first has to be preached by their missionaries in all the nations of the earth before Jesus Christ, my Beloved Son, comes again in his second coming to the earth. This is not accurate. The meaning of the "Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world" is not exclusive to the LDS Church. There are many other Christian churches who have an active missionary program, and have made inroads into many nations. They preach of Jesus Christ, and promote his gospel of peace. Although they don't have a fulness of the gospel, which included the restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ, they preach what is in their Bibles. The knowledge of Jesus Christ is being spread through all the nations of the earth.

With the advent of the internet, access to the gospel is spreading very fast. Even where missionaries from these Christian churches, including the LDS Church, may not be able to send their representatives, the gospel message may be read in their language online. Those nations who suppress access to the internet will fall, and ways will be opened for the people to read or watch on their phones or other devices the truth of Jesus Christ. Your record, the Book of Raphael, is also online, as well as all the standard words of scripture. These are available, or will soon be, in every nation for those eager and open to receive.

Joseph Smith Matthew 1:31 states that "this Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world, for a witness unto all nations, and then shall the end come, or the destruction of the wicked". This means all people of the nations will have opportunity to read, hear and watch the truths of the gospel of Jesus Christ. This is now happening and accelerating. The "end" coming is the end of the telestial mortal earth. This will be destroyed, along with the wicked, during the second coming of Jesus Christ.

In verse 32, Jesus said that the "abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, (would) be fulfilled." This abomination is the same as promoted by the great and abominable church of the devil in your day, referred to in 1 Nephi 22:13-14 (given above) and 1 Nephi chapter 14.

1 Nephi 14:3
"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."

My wrath is now being poured out upon the great and abominable church of the devil. The evidence of my wrath is shown by the many conflicts and wars among the nations of the earth in your very day, which will only increase until Jesus Christ returns in glory.

1 Nephi 14:15-17
"15 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.

16 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—

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

My great work in your day, given in verse 17 above, is focused on the online publication of the Book of Raphael, and the gathering of my elect to Zion, the New Jerusalem. These works fulfill the covenant of gathering my people, the elect, to a place of safety on the terrestrial earth. The remainder of the people who remain on the telestial earth, if they do not repent and come unto my Beloved Son Jesus Christ, will be destroyed. They are counted as the tares of earth, bound in bundles, ready to be burned. On the other hand, my wheat will be gathered into safe garners, where they will await in peaceful settlements until the glorious coming of Jesus Christ to the earth (see D&C 86:1-7). These are they who will receive an inheritance upon the earth, and live in peace for a thousand years."

February 6-7, 2026

This morning I awoke early and received a quick and clear message in my prayer from my Heavenly Father: He wanted me to discuss what he and Heavenly Mother had revealed to me in the past about the tree of knowledge of good and evil. As I recall, the revelations they gave to me were some of the most fascinating I have ever received! In the quotes below, I give a lot of information also about the tree of life.

Here is the first verse in the Old Testament that mentions this amazing tree:

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

-----------

Here is an entry in my Book of Raphael that talks in detail about the tree of knowledge of good and evil. It was in answer to a question by one of the individuals who was on my email lists at the time:

110D17-110D28, from Heavenly Father:
"Is the tree of life the same tree as the tree of knowledge of good and evil, as mentioned in the Garden of Eden?

Moses 4:31
"I placed at the east of the Garden of Eden, cherubim and a flaming sword, which turned every way to keep the way of the tree of life."

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

See also Alma 42:5

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

"Does the tree of life have 12 different kinds of fruit?

Revelation 22:2
"In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations." (speaking of the holy city, the New Jerusalem)."

Later–This is a question that I don't know the answer to and I am hoping our Heavenly Parents will answer tonight!

I came to the grassy area just south of the white gate. I was impressed to kneel on the grass, which extended to my left and right. I knelt and asked for one or both of my Heavenly Parents to come to me. I waited. To my left I saw a movement and saw my Heavenly Father signaling for me to arise and walk to him! He was next to a hedge of bushes and some taller trees. I stood and walked up to him. He was smiling and seemed eager to talk with me. He asked me in my thoughts to remain standing.

Heavenly Father spoke: 'Raphael, I have asked you to come near these trees next to these bushes. They are two trees of the knowledge of good and evil. These trees are male and female so that they may produce fruit for our use. We planted the fruit of this tree in the terrestrial Garden of Eden on your earth once Adam and Eve were adults. They still lived with us in that paradisiacal state. When the fruit grew up to a tree, it was a fruiting tree, a female tree. We hand pollinated the blossoms from the male tree in our celestial world, that you see before you on the right (he pointed to that tree). The blossoms on the tree of knowledge of good and evil on earth became beautiful fruits on that tree. It was at that point that I introduced Adam and Eve to that tree, with my charge not to eat of the fruit lest they would surely die. Once they were deceived by Lucifer, they both ate of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. The fruit started a change in their immortal bodies, as you have correctly answered to your sister's question

I came again to visit Adam and Eve along with your Heavenly Mother and Jesus Christ. I asked Adam and Eve if they had eaten of the fruit of that tree. They both admitted that they did eat. I then asked our Beloved Son then to protect the tree of life from Adam and Eve, lest they again eat of that fruit and live forever in their sins. Adam and Eve had physical bodies of flesh and bones, which were now changing to mortal bodies due to partaking of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. They also began perceiving that the serpent really was possessed by Lucifer who lied to them, tricking them to eat. Eve was the first to partake and came to an awareness of the designs of the evil one. She also began to be enlightened by the Holy Ghost, your Heavenly Mother, that now that she had partaken, she would be cast out of the Garden of Eden, and Adam would be left alone as man in the garden. They would be forever separated. Heavenly Mother reasoned with her daughter to convince Adam to partake so that they could together bring forth the children of men and women on the earth, to experience mortality in a fallen world.

Eve convinced Adam, who had not yet been enlightened by the actions of the fruit. Once he ate, he and Eve realized too that they were naked, which they had never before realized. They hid when we came walking through our garden in the cool of the day (Genesis 3:8). I knew then, besides my gift of seeing all things, that they had both partaken of the fruit of the tree that I had commanded them not to eat. I had no choice but to drive them forth into the lone and dreary world outside of their terrestrial garden home. The outside world was telestial in nature.'

I thanked my Heavenly Father for showing me these two trees of the knowledge of good and evil. He said that if I ate of the fruit, now that I had been redeemed and brought again into his presence, it would have no detrimental effect on me. I asked if I could partake, and Heavenly Father reached out to the female tree, plucked a fruit and gave it to me. I ate, and it tasted sweet and very clarifying to my mind. The effects were like drinking of living water, but had substance and was sweeter. I ate the fruit to the pit. I then asked if I should plant the pit next to the other two trees.

Heavenly Father responded: 'Raphael, plant the pit of the fruit you have eaten where you are standing on the grass.' I planted the pit of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil in the grass. I easily dug a little hole in the grass with my hand. I covered it up and stood again before my Heavenly Father.

'Raphael, the pit you planted will become a new female tree of knowledge of good and evil. I will have you transplant this future sapling tree, with other people that you choose to help you, to your celestial earth. This will be during the time that we divide the earth into inheritances for the faithful couple Gods. The tree that you will plant will be the sapling tree of knowledge of good and evil. It will have twelve manners of fruits, which yield their fruit every month, and her leaves are for the healing of the nations. This was spoken by John the revelator in Revelation 22:2. The current version reads that this will be the tree of life, but it was mistakenly written in your Bible. It should read the tree of knowledge of good and evil. That tree will remain on the celestial earth forever, as a memorial to the celestial Gods who live there and who frequent there. The memorial will be that this fruit is what initiated the past mortal journey of their first parents, Adam and Eve.'

I was amazed at this revelation from my Father! I felt so blessed to have been here with him tonight and to have learned first hand the wonderful story of these beautiful trees. I am so pleased to have partaken of one of its fruits, and to have planted that pit where I was standing. I felt so privileged to one day in the future be able to transplant this sapling tree to the new celestial earth where we will have our inheritance.

I thanked my Heavenly Father for being with me tonight and for what he shared with me! He smiled and I came immediately into my mortal body, writing all of this down."
(end of 110D17-110D28)

-----------

On the day following the above entry, in post 110E16, on February 4, 2019, Heavenly Father revealed the following:

"The tree of knowledge of good and evil, whose seed you planted last night, will be transplanted downstream of the river coming from the fountain of living water, the same fountain that will have existed during the entire millennium. There will be the two trees of life on either side of that fountain of living water. Downstream, you will plant the sapling tree of knowledge of good and evil in an island in the river that comes from the fountain. The river will surround the tree of knowledge of good and evil, which will bare twelve fruits each month and whose leaves will be for the healing of the nations. (see Revelation 22:2) The resurrected earth will then permanently have a rotation around the center of our galaxy as previous resurrected earths also have their own orbits."

-----------

The above comment from Heavenly Father refers to the celestial realm in the New Jerusalem, following the resurrection of the earth. The following quote tells that it is not yet planted, but will be planted sometime during the beginning of the resurrected earth:

110E1, 110E3-110E4:
"I thought more about the tree of knowledge of good and evil. It must be a very slow growing tree if I just planted the seed and at the end of the millennium, when I and others will transplant it to the resurrected celestial earth, it is still called a sapling. I believe it will not yet have born fruit by that time. Maybe God will delay the seed from growing until years into the future?

. . . I came this morning to the entry room through the front doors of God's temple. I came to the east side by a spruce tree next to the little channeled stream of living water. I knelt on the floor next to this tree and stream, facing so I could see the temple doors. I drank some living water and felt clarified in my mind. I then asked for my Heavenly Parents to come. Heavenly Mother appeared before me, next to the spruce tree there! She was radiant and loving, for I could feel her love I received from her in her light that shone upon me!

'Raphael, I wish to answer all of the questions you and your sister Rachael have. First, about the seed you planted last night. We will keep it dormant until Satan is loosed for a little season upon the earth, at the end of the millennium. By the time the earth is resurrected in its glory, and there is a new heaven and a new earth, this seed will have grown into a sapling tree about 5 to 6 inches in diameter, and will soon after that be ready to blossom and fruit. After you transplant it, you will be able to hand pollinate the blossoms from the male tree of knowledge of good and evil that you saw last night with your Heavenly Father. The tree is a slow growing tree that, in its glory in the celestial world, produces new fruit every month from the one yearly pollination that you will continue to do in eternity. This action of a yearly hand pollination will link these two worlds together forever, a remembrance of the origin of this tree of knowledge of good and evil.' "

-----------

On several days in January and August, 2024, under Revelation 22:2, I wrote the following:

January 23, 2024
In prayer with my Heavenly Father, he asked that I write his words:

"Raphael, once Adam and Eve were cast out of the Garden of Eden into the lone and dreary world, the tree of life and the tree of knowledge of good of evil remained behind in the garden. I asked my angels to transplant these two celestial trees back to an area near my holy temple on the celestial orb.

The tree of life brought from the Garden of Eden was later transplanted to the area east of Lake Beautiful with the people of Enoch for their use. This tree has since been also transplanted to the New Jerusalem area on the celestial portion of that area, east of the fountain of living water. The tree of life on the west side of the fountain was the sapling tree of life that you had seen under our original tree of life at the end of the straight and narrow path, was also later brought by the angels to New Jerusalem.

The tree of knowledge of good and evil that had been transplanted on our celestial orb still remains near our temple, amongst the other trees north of our temple. This tree has flowered since but we have not hand pollinated it from our male tree of knowledge of good of evil. The blossoms are beautiful and very fragrant. The other trees of this same forest are also trees of knowledge of good and evil, removed from earths of previous eternities during their Adam and Eve phase. We now have a very large forest of these same varieties of trees north of our temple. This forest is between our temple to the south and the river representing Jesus Christ to the north. These trees are now all in full bloom. We may ask them to bloom when we will. Your Heavenly Mother will now join us as we stroll through these very fragrant trees of knowledge of good and evil!"

Heavenly Mother then appeared, smiling very broadly. She took my left hand, and Heavenly Father my right, and we began to walk to the forest. We started at the grassy area in front of the female and male trees of knowledge of good and evil. We traveled east along the grassy area, with bushes on our right. Then we turned into a path through these bushes into a vast forested area. As we entered, the forest seemed to expand, and I could see from our vista many rolling hills for as far as I could see, of these trees of knowledge of good and evil! I knew that each tree had been transplanted there from previous earths.

As we walked into the forest, the fragrance from the blossoms of these trees filled me with such peace and assurance in my Gods next to me, and their beautiful plans for their children! I asked my Heavenly Parents where the tree of knowledge of good and evil that had been in our own Garden of Eden was located? They both looked to a beautiful tree immediately before us, and Heavenly Mother spoke: 'Raphael, this is the tree that Eve and then Adam partook of on your earth! This female tree has since joined all of these other female blossoming trees in this vast forest, and will remain here for eternity! This is a favorite place for your Heavenly Father and I to come and stroll through together! We feel such peace here, and assurance in the great plan of salvation that we have extended to our children."

I then let go of their hands and came up to this beautiful tree of knowledge of good and evil. I touched its trunk, now about 12 inches in diameter, and one of its main branches. I also smelled one of its pink blossoms. The tree had many blossoms of different pastel colors. I thought that if pollinated, each blossom color would produce a different fruit, one for every month of the year, for the healing of the nations.

Heavenly Father then spoke: 'Raphael, you have correctly thought that these blossoms would produce different fruits, one new set of fruits for every month for each blossom of the same color. The fruited seed that you have planted in the grass in front of our female and male trees will become a female tree of knowledge of good and evil on your own Celestial Earth. You will pollinate this tree yearly, according to our celestial time, which will be at the beginning of each eternity, from our own male tree. It will produce a new fruit every celestial month during that current eternity, as shown to John the Revelator in Revelation 22:2 -"In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the (should read "tree of knowledge of good and evil"), which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations." '

Heavenly Mother then said that I could come to this newly revealed forest whenever I yearned for peace and assurance. She said that I should follow the same path into this forest when I would come, and it would expand from a narrow set of trees that I have previously seen into this vast forest of millions and millions of trees of knowledge of good and evil. She said that I would know how to come to this same tree of knowledge of good and evil that has been on my own mother earth.

I thanked both of my Heavenly Parents for this beautiful experience with them today! I felt so assured that this vision was all true, for I feel great peace and clarity of mind.

My vision then closed, and I was typing this on my computer in my morning scripture study. I reread this entry and placed this in my note in my scripture app in Revelation 22:2.

-----------

See my notes in Abraham 3:4, written in January and August 2024.

January 25, 2024
In my morning scripture study: I had the impression that the pastel flowers of the tree of knowledge of good and evil produce twelve manners of fruits when pollinated, each colored the same as the pastel flower they fruited from. Each fruit also tastes and looks different, as do our fruits on earth taste different, and are different shapes, textures and sizes. The twelve fruits also each enhance various attributes of peace and faith (assurance). As couple Gods chew together the leaf of this tree, and all of its twelve fruits are eaten, with the intention to receive the spiritual measure or manner from each fruit, along with eating the fruit and leaf of the tree of life (filling each with the love of God and healing), they bring a fulness of joy! This results in extreme love, peace, healing and faith. As I wrote these words, Heavenly Mother whispered to my mind "Raphael, these words you have written this morning were from me and are true." I had gone over these words again and again until she confirmed the specific words I should use.

August 23, 2024:
I just finished learning about Nephilim, or the giants on the earth prior to the great flood (see my notes in Genesis 6:4). This all came about because the fallen angels (the watchers) partook of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil before that tree was transported away from the garden of Eden to the celestial orb.

I next wondered about the unique properties of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. I also wondered about its very unique name.

Tonight I approached my Heavenly Mother about these things relating to the tree of knowledge of good and evil. I prayed sincerely, with an open heart and mind, with Heavenly Mother before me. When done with my request, Heavenly Mother asked that I write her words:

"Raphael, I am very glad to enlighten your mind about the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

You have recently taken a stroll with your Heavenly Father and me through the forest of trees of knowledge of good and evil (see your entry above dated January 23, 2024). Each of the trees in this great forest were the original tree of knowledge of good and evil from each of our eternities that your Heavenly Father and I have experienced. I also showed you the tree of knowledge of good and evil from your own eternity in that vast forest.

The very first progenitor tree of knowledge of good and evil was created by our first parent Gods, in the beginning. They also created at that same time the tree of life. We have previously given you the history from the beginning of the tree of life, and how it is propagated to all the parent Gods in their own domains. Its purpose is to shed forth the love and healing of God to all creations.

The first tree of knowledge of good and evil was also created in the beginning. It's multiple purposes are described below:

1) For those in a garden of Eden: if the first parents for an eternity partook of this fruit, there would be a change in their bodies from living forever in a suspended eternal state, to a mortal fallen state. This would introduce the seeds of death into their bodies.

2) For those servants in their celestial spirit state, with evil intentions (like the evil "watcher" angels, see your notes in Genesis 6:4, or like Lucifer and his hosts before their expulsion from heaven), when they [added later: the watchers, not Lucifer or those who followed him in the premortal life] partake of the fruit they are changed into a mortal fallen state, with the seeds of death in their new physical bodies. These fallen individuals would have no ancestors on the earth, including no mother nor father. They would be alone adults in the world without a family they came from. They would also be granted evil knowledge known among the Gods, employed by evil Satans or devils in eternities up to that time, according to their evil desires. This is the meaning of the "tree of knowledge of evil".

3) For righteous angels or servants who were in their spirit state (either terrestrial or celestial beings), or celestial translated or resurrected state (all of these groups would have been cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christ, and have become clean every whit), they could partake of the fruit of this tree and enjoy the mental clarity, sweetness, and resultant joy coming from eating that fruit. They would also be able to ask for truth and knowledge of good things, if they had pure and righteous intentions, and receive answers from revelation to their mind and heart. This is the meaning of the "tree of knowledge of good".

4) For celestial couple Gods in eternity, were they to partake of this fruit in the celestial realms, along with the fruit of the tree of life, they would experience a fulness of joy! In addition, were they to ask any questions while partaking of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, they would receive the answer from our first parent Gods in their minds and hearts. This would be in addition to a continual link to their immediate parent Gods, or their ancestor Gods, who would normally guide and help them.

As you can see, both our children with only spirits and those with a physical body may partake of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. There is a spirit fruit superimposed upon the physical fruit. When a spirit individual plucks the fruit, only the spirit fruit is removed and the physical remains. Likewise, when one of our children with a physical body plucks the fruit, only the physical fruit is removed and the spirit fruit remains. Within a short time the missing fruit grows again so that there is both a physical and a spirit fruit. In this way the female tree of the knowledge of good and evil, that has been pollinated by the male tree, always has fruit, regardless of how many eat of the fruit.

As spoken of above in this note, the tree of knowledge of good and evil has a female and a male tree. If pollinated, the blossoms of the female tree bear a different fruit for each celestial month of a given eternity. This feature is active regardless of where the pollinated tree of knowledge of good and evil is located. In the garden of Eden on your earth, this tree was bearing fruit for one of these twelve celestial months when Eve then Adam partook.

Raphael, each of our celestial earths that rotate around in the skies above our celestial orb, has a fruiting tree of knowledge of good and evil. We also have each of the trees that their respective first parents partook of, in the forest of trees on our celestial orb.

Oh how I love the fruit of this tree, and the wisdom of our first parent Gods to have created such a beautiful and powerful tree! We, who are couple Gods and your parent Gods, are able to use this tree for our many purposes throughout the development, testing and progress of our children. We watch carefully over every one of these few trees that are used in each eternity, as we do also for the few trees of life for each eternity."

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her wonderful words to me today. I prayed about this in detail, and she confirmed that what I had written was all true. I feel so humbled to have received such great truths from her today!

August 24, 2024:
I have been mulling over the power of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. For children like Adam and Eve, who were immortal terrestrial beings (no blood, but spirit in their physical bodies), the following occurred soon after they ate of the fruit of that tree: 1) The spirit [added later: flowing through their veins] in their bodies changed to blood, and 2) The seeds of death entered into their bodies.

For celestial premortal spirits who turned evil, disobeyed God, and sought evil knowledge from the tree, the following occurred soon after they ate of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil: 1) Their celestial spirit body was cast out of the celestial realm, and became telestial, 2) Their spirit body was changed to a mortal physical body of flesh and blood, 3) The seeds of death entered into their bodies, 4) They were thrust into mortality as adults without a mortally nurtured childhood, void of progenitors–no mother nor father, and 5) They received knowledge of evil practices known to the Gods and Satans.

I then wondered if Lucifer, from our eternity who became a Satan, was able to partake of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. I addressed this question to Heavenly Mother tonight. She immediately said the following to my mind:

"Lucifer did not to partake of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil at any time. When he was thrust down to the earth, in the beginning, he was confined to a telestial world. He was not allowed into the terrestrial garden of Eden except at the time when he tempted and seduced Eve. He did not eat of the fruit of that tree at that time, for he was still fallen but quickened by God to be allowed to come into the terrestrial garden and to view and pluck the fruit of the tree.

The tree of knowledge of good and evil is a celestial tree, planted in this terrestrial garden, just like the tree of life is a celestial tree. Adam and Eve could see it and eat of it because of the celestial garments of light that they wore. Satan, who had fallen to the telestial realm, could see and handle the fruit because he was temporarily quickened by God, even though he had entered into the body of the serpent. The serpent was used to living in the terrestrial realm of the garden, but Lucifer was not. Normally, Satan does not enter into telestial animals, for they have no agency. However, in the terrestrial realm, animals are more aware and, in this case, the serpent allowed the deceptive Lucifer to enter into his body.

At the time Lucifer came into the garden of Eden, he had cleverly and fully entered into the body of a serpent as a disguise, so as not to alarm Eve. Lucifer, who dwelt in the telestial world outside of the garden, saw that the serpent had been coming frequently to the entrance of the garden of Eden. This was the boundary of the telestrial outside world and the terrestrial garden of Eden. It was at this time that Lucifer confronted the serpent and gained access to his body. He entered the serpent, for he thought that Eve would recognize him as the one who rebelled against God. However, in talking to her, he found that she had a veil of forgetfulness over her mind, and didn't remember anything about any former premortal world.

Lucifer appeared to Eve as a serpent, but spoke to Eve in his own spirit sense voice that communicated to her spirit. This voice was from Lucifer, not from the serpent's voice. Spirit sense is the way that our children have always communicated with animals in the premortal existence on our celestial orb and then in the garden of Eden (see the "Spirit Sense" heading in your index to the Book of Raphael). Spirit to spirit communication was also the norm of "talking" with each other in the premortal existence and in the garden, although Adam and Eve also were developing their audible voices. These methods of spirit sense and spirit to spirit communication were very well understood and practiced by both Adam and Eve.

The serpent stood upon two legs and had two arms with hands, and a long tail, similar to a lizard but larger. The serpent lived in the garden of Eden and was tall enough to reach the fruit of the tree while standing on his legs. Eve was used to this serpent and the other animals in the garden of Eden.

When Lucifer (through the body of the serpent) plucked the physical fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, he held this fruit in his serpent hand and gave it to Eve. It was a celestial fruit, and would have been very painful for him to hold had he not been quickened (even while in the body of the serpent) by your Heavenly Father to endure the celestial environment.

After Eve partook of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, Lucifer sent her away to find Adam and give him of the fruit that she had partially eaten.

Lucifer also came later into the celestial presence of the Father and the Son, when he was called forth by the Father, and subsequently cast out of the garden of Eden by the Father. At that time he was no longer possessing the body of the serpent, but appeared in his spirit person. He soon was no longer quickened, and was required to quickly exit into the telestial world outside of the garden. However, at no time did Lucifer or any of his devils partake of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. The only evil spirits that partook of the fruit of that tree were the twenty-two fallen angels called the "watchers".

Had Lucifer been allowed to eat of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, he would have been thrust into mortality, just as the watchers were changed. Lucifer wondered if he could do more harm to God's children as a spirit that wouldn't die than as a mortal who would one day die. Satan did not obtain the evil knowledge from the tree either, but gained what he possessed by his own cunning and evil devices.

The tree of knowledge of good and evil remained in the garden of Eden in a terrestrial sphere. Cheribim and a flaming sword guarded the entrance to the garden so that no person from a telestial realm like Satan or fallen man could enter. However, those of a terrestrial or celestial glory were allowed to enter. The cherubim specifically was commanded to restrict Adam or Eve, or any of their posterity, from entering into the garden, but not other individuals from terrestrial or celestial realms. This is how the "watchers", who at that time were still celestial, were able to enter into the garden and gain access to the fruit of that tree."

August 25, 2024:
I was in my prayer this Sunday morning, communing with my Heavenly Father. As I prayed over what I received yesterday, Heavenly Father wanted to add more information to what Heavenly Mother told me. Here are his words that come into my mind this morning:

"Raphael, you have wondered if Lucifer or any of his evil hosts would have been able to eat of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, before they were cast out of heaven, on my celestial orb.

As you recall, at one point before the great battle with Lucifer and his evil hosts, we restricted access for Lucifer and his companions of the wilderness area. This area includes our holy celestial temple, the three rivers coming forth out of the fountain of living water, lake Beautiful and the healing lake, and all lands in that area. This wilderness area encompassed also the tree of life and trees of knowledge of good and evil, including the vast forest of these trees. Your Heavenly Mother and I did not want any of our sons and daughters with evil intentions to break through and partake of the fruit of any of these trees. We knew that Lucifer and his hosts would be cast out of the celestial realm for rebellion, and we didn't want them to receive any evil knowledge from partaking of the fruit of that tree.

While in the garden of Eden, when we allowed Lucifer entrance to tempt and try Eve through the body of the serpent, he claimed that he had special evil knowledge from the fruit of that tree. This was a lie, for Lucifer never had eaten of this fruit. When he held this fruit in the serpent's hand, he was planning to eat of the fruit himself once Eve had left to give of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil to Adam. His plan was to exit the serpent's body and stand before the tree and pluck the fruit for himself to eat. However, we ushered Lucifer away from the tree by our Cheribim with a flaming sword that we immediately sent. Lucifer later interacted with Adam, Eve, Jesus Christ and me in his spirit person, once Adam had also partaken of the fruit. From there we cursed Lucifer and cast him out of the garden. We also cursed the serpent who from that time on moved upon his belly and lost his legs and arms. At no point had Lucifer partaken of the fruit of this tree of knowledge of good and evil."

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his new insights to what really happened, both in heaven and in the garden of Eden. I feel so blessed to receive such great truths from my Heavenly Parents!

I then considered other miraculous events in the gospel of Jesus Christ. I considered birth, whether a spirit birth to Heavenly Mother, or a mortal birth on earth. I considered the glorious resurrection, where one who is dead is changed and born into immortality. This is certainly more dramatic than the powerfull miracles given by the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

I thought of the atonement of Jesus Christ, how he could suffer for all of our sins, one at a time, in some way only God is able to understand. I thought of how revelation comes to the mind and heart of God children. I thought of the transfer of our spirits into different realms, like when we die or when in a vision. All of these are miraculous, only possible by the power of God. God is all-powerful, and dwells in a highest celestial realm where all things are possible. How great are these mysteries! The power and characteristics of the tree of knowledge of good and evil is very miraculous as well. I feel so humbled to receive a portion of these truths through personal revelation from my Heavenly Parents!

August 28, 2024:
This morning in my prayer I wondered why the first parent Gods would come up with a tree that gave evil information? I could understand good revelation, or truth, but why evil? Wasn't this encouraging God's children to seek for evil? Why would God do that?

I have no preconceived answer to my question above about the tree of knowledge of good and evil. I am humbly praying to my Father, with this question in my mind, hoping that he will answer this.

Heavenly Father gave me the impression to write his words, while he would give me revelation on this specific question:

"Raphael, my son, you have learned so very much truth recently about the tree of knowledge of good and evil. This answer you seek today will complete these truths from us about the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

We who become couple Gods in eternity come to that position with limited knowledge. Our first parent Gods wanted a method for us to gain all truth in order for us to wisely govern and raise our children. Many of our children would chose evil ways. Our first parent Gods wanted us to know the history and truth of every evil trick, manipulation, and method that these wayward children might do or think, so that we could be prepared for their sinister ways. This knowledge is power, for we who are Gods, cannot be deceived by one of our children who invents an evil method in seeking to destroy our glorious plan of salvation we offer to all of our children.

Our first parent Gods recognized that those of their posterity who would become Gods in eternity would need to have additional and superior knowledge and understanding of all truth, even including sinister ways and methods of the evil ones. Because of this concern, they created a tree designed to reveal such evil knowledge they possessed to any of their posterity who became Gods. These Gods could partake of the fruit of the tree of knowlege of good and evil, with the intention to gain this knowledge. This vast information from which they would seek answers would be a compilation of all good and all evil knowledge and history from the beginning, amongst all the Gods.

Our first parent Gods oversee all of their posterity, both who are Gods, and to those in the universe of the many different degrees of glories, and also all those who receive no glory for reward for their works. They want all of their progeny Gods to have access to all that has ever happened in this vast array of experience. This accumulated knowledge is what the tree of knowledge of good and evil provides. These trees all may access this vast body of knowledge, and in this way, the first parent Gods have chosen to give revelation to the Gods who inquire.

For example, if one of the couple Gods in eternity is presented with a situation where their children have come up with evil practices that they are unsure how to handle, they may partake of the fruit of this tree and with intention, gain all knowledge about what has ever happened in the past on that subject. Usually, a similar situation has occurred in one of the eternities of another God. The knowledge of how it was handled and the outcome is very valuable information for the inquiring couple God. This gives them superior knowledge on how to handle the situation. The actions of the Gods are always done according to the laws of the kingdom that have been written for the Gods to operate within.

The access to the tree of knowledge of good and evil may be extended to those of the first parent Gods' posterity, who seek good or who seek evil knowledge. In all of these cases, the current parent Gods of those children control access to the tree of knowledge of good and evil. They may choose to use the placement of the tree to assist their children to enter mortality, of their own free will, from an eternal state of no death. Such was the case when we placed the tree of knowledge of good and evil in the garden of Eden. We used the tree to ultimately bring Adam and Eve out of the garden into a telestial mortal sphere, without using force, but by their own free will and choice.

We also knew that a very few of our angels might be tempted to partake of the fruit of that tree, with evil intentions, and thus be propelled into mortality. Our now fallen twenty-two angels thought that they could embrace evil and continue living in a celestial realm with their celestial powers we gave to them. In seeking evil, we knew that they could never become like us who are Gods. For them, this was part of their probationary testing.

Your Heavenly Mother and I come to the tree of knowledge of good and evil whenever we are confronted with a new situation where our experience and knowledge may not be sufficient. We partake of the fruit of that celestial tree, and instantly come to a much greater understanding what are our options for our future actions. This tree is the source through which this revelation is brought to us from our first parent Gods. With our godly foresight, we then may view the future outcome of a particular action that we may take. We are so very grateful for such a wonderful gift, given to us from our first parent Gods!"

I am very enlightened by this beautiful response from my loving Heavenly Father! I feel abundant assurance and light when I think over what he revealed to me, and know it is true. Oh, how wonderful are the revelations of my Gods to me!"

I found this entry dated January 24, 2024 under Abraham 3:4:

"There will be no more mortal time once the seven thousand years of earth's temporal existence is ended. We will then be back to celestial time which is much longer in days, months and years.

As I understand, in every year of celestial time, I will re-pollinate the tree of knowledge of good and evil. For each of the twelve months the tree will have a new fruit, as stated in my notes in Revelation 22:2 (see above).

I believe that each eternity will have many celestial years of existence for the couple gods. The tree of knowledge of good and evil will continually rotate its fruit, producing new monthly celestial fruit.

See my note in Revelation 22:2" (given above). If pollinated, the blossoms of the female tree bear a different fruit for each celestial month of a given eternity.
(end of my January 24_2024 entry)

I found more on the tree of knowledge of good and evil, that the original tree was removed to the celestial world before the flood, from an entry dated May 1-2, 2024 under Moses 3:6-9:

"When you created the island of the New Jerusalem by our power, you raised the land from under the water to create the land mass of the New Jerusalem. This is the same exact location as was the beautiful garden of Eden. Once Adam and Eve were cast out of the garden of Eden, we removed the tree of life and the tree of knowledge of good and evil to our celestial orb. We next preserved this entire garden soil structure on its terrestrial foundation under terrestrial water at the time of the fall of man. However, the remainder of the surface of the terrestrial earth fell to become the telestial mortal earth, along with its soil layers. The underlying terrestrial earth foundation remained, and was mostly covered with terrestrial waters."

One of the features of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, was when Adam and Eve partook of it in the garden of Eden, it caused their celestial garment to leave their body, and they became naked, without any covering (see my entry dated May 22, 2024 under Moses 3:8).

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

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

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

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

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

Here is the full verse 13 without the comments:

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

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

-----------

This reference in 106R5-106R7 shows that the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, introduced the seeds of mortality to the terrestrial bodies of Adam and Eve:

"I would like to address M.A.'s question about the effect of eating the tree of life fruit and leaf. Adam and Eve were commanded not to eat of the fruit of the tree of life once they had eaten of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. They transgressed my commandment and therefore received the consequence to die in the flesh. They had previously eaten freely of the fruit and leaf of the tree of life, while in the Garden of Eden, for this fruit kept them in a highly clarified and spiritual state. The fruit and leaf of the tree of life are celestial and those who partake of it are clarified to a celestial level.

In the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve lived in a terrestrial world, but as they ate of the tree of life, they were quickened to this higher celestial state, even in their physical bodies. They had not become mortal yet. Once they partook of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, they had the seeds of mortality introduced into their systems. It was in opposition to the fruit of the tree of life (see 2 Nephi 2:15). This was called the forbidden fruit, and its effect would propel them into their new mortal life and would initiate the fall of man.

We did not want Adam or Eve, or any of their children, to now freely partake of the fruit and leaf of the tree of life in their mortal state without their own effort to come unto us and seek our face with all of their hearts. We wanted them to grow and progress gradually in their struggle to come to us in the telestial world that they would soon come into."

This reference talks about the memory of Adam and Eve, and the fall from a terrestrial state to a telestial state:

-----------

50D2-50D3
"When did the veil of forgetfulness come upon Adam and Eve?
A– Adam and Eve were born as babies in the terrestrial world, and raised by their Heavenly Parents on the new, terrestrial earth, before the Fall. They grew up as normal children, with no memory of their premortal lives. They were terrestrial beings with no mortality (no blood in their veins, but spirit). They were married and sealed together when they became adults, by Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother.

Once they partook of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, they fell from their terrestrial state and became telestial mortals. However, they retained their full memories of their terrestrial state with their Heavenly Parents. This is how faith in their now unseen God was perpetuated to their own children.""

-----------

50G30-50G31, from Heavenly Father:
"Finally we came and bore Adam and Eve, as our own offspring, as babies, into this paradisiacal state of the earth. These too were immortal, for they could not die in this terrestrial state. Our two children grew to maturity, to a man and a woman.

Prior to this time, and before the sanctification of mother earth to the terrestrial state, Lucifer and his hosts were cast down to this telestial earth from heaven. They were no longer in our presence.

However, once Adam and Eve reached their mature status, we gave them their full agency. Satan then came among them, tempting them. When Adam and Eve transgressed our commandment, to not eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, they fell from our presence and became the first flesh on earth, or mortal man. Soon the rest of creation also became mortal, and the earth also fell from its sanctified, terrestrial state, to a state again in the telestial realms. This is the time that the 7,000 years of earths temporal existence began."

-----------

I have compiled a lot of what I have recorded about the tree of knowledge of good and evil from my Book of Raphael. I believe I have found most of what my Heavenly Parents have spoken about this unique tree and its fruit.

Tonight I asked for my Heavenly Father to confirm whether he is pleased, and if wants to speak anything more on this subject.

Here are his words I next heard in my thoughts:

"Raphael, I am pleased that you have recorded again our revelations about the tree of knowledge of good and evil today. This is what I wanted you to copy into your current journal. We want our faithful children to realize the background and great planning we do in order to fulfill all of our plans for the second estate of our mortal children, and into eternity. At the judgment day, all of our children will know that we have been very careful in all of our actions, so that they could each choose what they really wanted to do with their lives. The tree of knowledge of good and evil is one of the means for us to accomplish our great work. This information has never been before revealed by us in such clarity as it has in your record."

I thanked my Heavenly Father for these amazing revelations, and for helping me bring up all their words into one place. I feel so very blessed to have been the conduit for my Heavenly Parents in bringing forth this great information in our day!

__________________________________________

February 8-9, 2026

This morning I prayed for direction, and Heavenly Father led me to ponder 1 Nephi 21:1-6. This is Nephi where Nephi quoted Isaiah_49:1-6. I read all that I had written about this in my Book of Raphael, under 1 Nephi and Isaiah.

I then felt impressed to view the Hebrew Bible version of this same passage. I have placed the Book of Mormon version next to a few of the Isaiah versions I knew about below for comparison:

-----------

Berean Standard Bible (a modern English translation of the Bible that aims for accuracy and readability, connecting each English word to its original Greek or Hebrew roots for deeper study.)

"1 Listen to Me, O islands; pay attention, O distant peoples: The LORD called Me from the womb; from the body of My mother He named Me.

2 He made My mouth like a sharp sword; He hid Me in the shadow of His hand. He made Me like a polished arrow; He hid Me in His quiver.

3 He said to Me, "You are My Servant, Israel, in whom I will display My glory."

4 But I said, "I have labored in vain, I have spent My strength in futility and vanity; yet My vindication is with the LORD, and My reward is with My God."

5 And now says the LORD, who formed Me from the womb to be His Servant, to bring Jacob back to Him, that Israel might be gathered to Him—for I am honored in the sight of the LORD, and My God is My strength—

6 He says: "It is not enough for You to be My Servant, to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the protected ones of Israel. I will also make You a light for the nations, to bring My salvation to the ends of the earth.""

-----------

King James Version (In 1604, King James I of England authorized that a new translation of the Bible into English be started. It was finished in 1611, just 85 years after the first translation of the New Testament into English appeared which was the Tyndale 1526 translation).

"1 Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name.

2 And he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand hath he hid me, and made me a polished shaft; in his quiver hath he hid me;

3 And said unto me, Thou art my servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified.

4 Then I said, I have laboured in vain, I have spent my strength for nought, and in vain: yet surely my judgment is with the LORD, and my work with my God.

5 And now, saith the LORD that formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, Though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the LORD, and my God shall be my strength.

6 And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth."

-----------

Isaiah Institute translation (The Isaiah Institute was created in the year 2000 by the Hebraeus Foundation to disseminate the message of the prophet Isaiah. Translated from various versions of Isaiah in Hebrew.)

"1 Hear me, O isles; listen, you distant peoples: Jehovah called me before I was in the belly; before I was in my mother’s womb, he mentioned me by name.

2 He has made my mouth like a sharp sword— in the shadow of his hand he hid me. He has made me into a polished arrow— in his quiver he kept me secret.

3 He said to me, You are my servant, Israel, in whom I will be glorified. 4 I had thought, I have labored in vain, I have spent my strength for nothing and to no purpose! Yet my cause rested with Jehovah, my recompense with my God.

5 For now Jehovah has said— he who formed me from the womb to be his servant, to restore Jacob to him, Israel having been gathered to him; for I won honor in the eyes of Jehovah when my God became my strength—

6 he said: It is too small a thing for you to be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob and to restore those preserved of Israel. I will also appoint you to be a light to the nations, that my salvation may be to the end of the earth."

-----------

1 Nephi 21:1-6

"1 And again: Hearken, O ye house of Israel, all ye that are broken off and are driven out because of the wickedness of the pastors of my people; yea, all ye that are broken off, that are scattered abroad, who are of my people, O house of Israel. Listen, O isles, unto me, and hearken ye people from far; the Lord hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name.

2 And he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand hath he hid me, and made me a polished shaft; in his quiver hath he hid me;

3 And said unto me: Thou art my servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified.

4 Then I said, I have labored in vain, I have spent my strength for naught and in vain; surely my judgment is with the Lord, and my work with my God.

5 And now, saith the Lord—that formed me from the womb that I should be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him—though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the Lord, and my God shall be my strength.

6 And he said: It is a light thing that thou shouldst be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel. I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the ends of the earth."

-----------

In comparing all of these passages, 1 Nephi 21:1 contains the most significant changes between all these verses. This was in the Isaiah version in the brass plates which Joseph Smith translated using the Urim and Thummim.

I wrote this in my notes under this verse in the Book of Raphael:

"June 28, 2024
This first part of verse 1 is added in the Book of Mormon account over the Isaiah account in the Old Testament. It is noteworthy that there is "wickedness of the pastors of my people", even among the LDS people. These pastors include some of our leaders, up and down the leadership positions of the church. We who are broken off and scattered, we are still His people."

In the notes of 1 Nephi 21:2-6, I wrote the following:

"July 14, 2024
This is a prophecy for the one mighty and strong (see D&C 85:7, Isaiah 28:2), the servant in the hand of God, even the archangel Raphael, hidden for centuries, to yet help gather Israel in the last days. This used to be the role of the Church, to the one holding the keys conferred upon Joseph Smith, as the president of the church in gathering the tribes of Jacob. Because of apostasy (see D&C 86:2), these keys have been conferred upon Raphael and John the Beloved.

Raphael is truly a means of salvation, to raise spiritually the tribes of Israel, to receive eternal inheritances, "that thou mayest be my salvation unto the ends of the earth."

-----------

Here is what I wrote about Isaiah 49:2:

"July 20, 2024
A shaft is an arrow. From the 1828 Webster Dictionary, the first definition states: "An arrow; a missile weapon; as the archer and the shaft".

I prayed this morning how Heavenly Father will use Raphael like an arrow in his quiver. Here is his response that I was asked to write down as he spoke:

"Raphael, you have been taught my truths, my many revelations that have not yet been revealed to the faithful. These truths are like an quiver full of arrows that, when taught to my elect, will be accompanied by my Holy Spirit, and the more powerful impressions of the Holy Ghost. When the elect pray about these truths, in humility and penitence before me, they will again receive the witness that these are all from me and not from man.

In this way we will reveal all truths to our beloved children who humbly and sincerely seek to know.

Moroni 10:4-5 "And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost.

And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things."

We have revealed these truths to you by our power, and will in turn reveal them afresh to those who sincerely approach us in prayer, even as Moroni exorted them to do in the above scripture.

Isaiah used the words "polished shaft" to denote the great power of the words that we have revealed to you, and which you have written in the Book of Raphael. When one of our elect studies and prays about these truths, our Spirit will pierce him as a polished shaft, and will convince him of their truth, and that they came directly from God. These, our humble elect, all from the House of Israel by lineage or adoption, will then glorify God:

Isaiah 49:3: "And said unto me, Thou art my servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified."

This would have been better written as

"And said unto me, Thou art my servant. From your words will Israel glorify me.""

-----------

In my notes under Isaiah 49:3-4, I wrote this:

"July 21, 2024
This is a direct reference to Raphael and his mission in the last days to gather Israel. In verse 2 Isaiah states the he will be hid in the shadow of God's hand, and in God's quiver will he hide him.

Compare 2 Nephi 8:16 notes about Raphael being hid: "covered thee in the shadow of mine hand".

July 26, 2024
While studying this verse 4 today, I felt that my Father had something to say about what Isaiah wrote. Here are my Father's words that have come into my mind, even while I was in prayer and meditation before him:

"Raphael, there have been times, over the past few years, when you have felt that all of your effort, and those few who helped you to record the Book of Raphael, have been in vain. You wondered why it was still hidden if it were all true. Those four individuals who supported you in your efforts to bring the record to light, all are now infrequently in contact with you about this Book of Raphael. You thought only you were reading or studying it, even if only occasionally. This was a time when you felt that you "laboured in vain, and spent your strength for nought, and in vain". You felt too that you had truly been inspired by me and your Heavenly Mother to write all of these words. You felt that "your judgment is with God". You felt that you were truly enlightened to bring this work forth. You knew God knew that he revealed it to you, but your work was still hidden.

This verse 4 is now fulfilled. You have more recently been diligently studying the scriptures, and reviewing the Book of Raphael. We have continued to pour out upon you our abundant revelations, giving you continually more insights, truths from heaven, and directions for your life. You have become more and more convinced of the great value of the Book of Raphael. This great book is still hidden from the telestial world's inhabitants in which you dwell.

Raphael, this record, the Book of Raphael, is to be read by those who are terrestrial or celestial. It was never intended to be given to those in your fallen world to those who of the telestial who would not understand these truths and reject them.

I will inspire you when to bring it forth and how to make it available, even as I will. My elect, whom I have chosen in these last days, who will come to Zion, will have the opportunity to read and pray about your record, and the abundant truths contained therein. These words from us to you, that you have written, will buoy them up and cause great joy and excitement in their lives, for they love our words of truth and will hearken to all revelations and our commandments. Through my Spirit, and from the Holy Ghost, and from your words that you have written, "shall you be glorious in the eyes of the Lord, and your God shall be your strength." (Isaiah 49:5)."

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his gracious words! I told him that I would wait upon him, and be patient with his timetable, when to bring forth the Book of Raphael. I also felt that which I have written above to be from Heavenly Father and not from me."
(end of my notes under Isaiah 49:3-4)

-----------

I wrote this about verse 5 in my notes under 1 Nephi 21:2-6:

"June 28, 2024
In verse 5 it reads ". . . the Lord hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name." This is a reference to Raphael, who lives in the flesh in these last days. His life has been normal, but hidden from the world. His mission will come at some point in the timing of the Lord, prior to the second coming. His referenced mother is Heavenly Mother, whose bowels are specifically mentioned in this verse, for she speaks to him and, along with Heavenly Father, directs him in his mission."

-----------

Now that I have copied above all of the pertinent references and notes to what my Father in Heaven prompted me to study in 1 Nephi 21:1-6, I prayed to my Father in Heaven. I wanted to know if there was anything more he wanted to reveal to me today. He came immediately before me, and spoke to me these words:

"Raphael, I am pleased with what you have studied and written above in reference to 1 Nephi 21:1-6. I wanted these revelations and notes assembled in one place so that my elect would be able to see more clearly your mission. This mission that we have called you to accomplish, and have commissioned you to do, is very critical in gathering our elect in these last days. Your Heavenly Mother, by the Holy Ghost, will guide those whom we have chosen to find your record. They will read and ponder it, for the Holy Ghost will strongly prompt them to pursue and press them forward to do so. In their study, the Holy Ghost will bear witness to their hearts and minds of its truthfulness, and that what you have written is from God and not you nor man. As they continue following our promptings, and continue reading, they will be filled more and more with our Spirit. We will by this means gently lead them to come to Zion, the New Jerusalem, where we will safely gather them.

Raphael, we know the end from the beginning. We have inspired our ancient prophets to write prophecies like Isaiah and Nephi who wrote about your great mission and the latter-day gathering of our elect. Nephi, the son of Lehi, saw your day but was restricted from writing about it in his record. Instead, he placed Isaiah's words about your mission and the great work of gathering in the small plates of Nephi. The brass plates included the additional information which is given in 1 Nephi 21:1 over your current day translation of Isaiah 49:1. This is all part of the work of the Father, and our great and marvelous latter-day work! (see your notes in 1 Nephi 14:7 and 1 Nephi 14:15-17)"

__________________________________________

February 10-12, 2026

This morning I was directed by my Heavenly Father to Revelation chapter 15. I believed that one or more of these verses were what I was to study and ponder, and write about in my journal. I finally ended with these three verses:

Revelation 15:2-4
"2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.

3 And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.

4 Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest."

-----------

When searching these verses in my Book of Raphael, I found this reference, copied below:

162J1-162J9
"R's Personal Journal Entry, June 12, 2020, Friday

Today I walked up the path next to the mountain stream in Heavenly Mother's upper garden. I came to the pocketed rock wall with hanging flowers. It was all so sunny and beautiful around me.

I drank living water and felt refreshed. I then knelt by the flower wall, facing the stream, and asked for my Heavenly Mother to come to me.

I then saw a bright light in the trees in front of me, and then I saw Heavenly Mother walking through the trees to me! She was radiant and seemed to be humming a sweet tune. All the mountain birds had stopped their chirping and seemed to be listening. All I could hear was the gurgling of the water and her beautiful hummed song!

Soon my Heavenly Mother was standing in front of me. Her eyes were sparkling with joy it seemed, and she was smiling broadly. She had stopped humming her song.

I was so taken with the beauty of her song I had heard her hum, that I asked her what song she had been humming as she came to me.

Heavenly Mother spoke: 'Raphael, this is the new song spoken of in Revelation 15:3-4-

"And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God and the song of the Lamb, saying, great and marvelous are thy works, Lord God almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of Saints.

Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name, for thou only art holy; for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest."

Raphael, this song of Moses is what our servant John heard and named. However, it is a song of praise that all of the elect will quickly learn and love when they hear it. John heard it in his unconscious mind, as have you this morning. You both won't remember this in your conscious minds, but you will, along with all of our elect of God when Jesus Christ, our Firstborn, descends to the earth in glory at the beginning of the millennium. At that time the entire chorus of heaven, in the clouds, will sing this new song of the Lamb.

Those with Jesus in the skies above the earth, prior to him descending in great glory, will become quickened, even to a celestial glory for a moment to learn this new celestial song. It is a song of praise and of great victory over Satan and the troubles, hardships and tribulations they have experienced on earth, just prior to the second coming of our Beloved Son.

Once the elect of all have all sung their beautiful song of praise and rejoicing, then they will descend in the clouds of heaven with Jesus Christ to the earth. This great event will then complete the transition of the earth, all of her plants and animals too, to a full terrestrial state. Those who descend will abide the fire of the Son of Man as he descends to the millennial earth. All the remaining wicked will be destroyed, making it easy for a great terrestrial paradise of God."

-----------

I next found this other post where I saw a heard the singing of the Song of Moses:

87H6-87H8
"After the flow of these many thousands of people passed by me and went into the sky, Jesus Christ then came out of the temple doors! He walked right up to me and stopped in front of the golden altar.

He spoke to me:

'Raphael, these who have come out of the temple and are on our right and left sides in the sky are those who have come unto me, their Savior. I have washed their robes in my blood, and they are now clean and pure before me! I have manifested myself to them in the flesh, according to the scriptures you have written in your journal last night and this morning [this was D&C 93:1, John 14:6,18,21,23 and Revelation 7:9-10,13-17]. I have also introduced them again to our Father and Mother.'

He then turned and raised his hand towards our Heavenly Parents who were still at the temple doors. At that moment, both Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother came together again, held hands, and walked next to their Beloved Son, on the right hand of the Father! All three were in front of me now.

Heavenly Mother then spoke to me:

'Raphael, these people that are so happy, all dressed in glorious white robes in the skies, are our beloved children who came to us through Our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ introduced us to them. We now continue to lead them in their lives as we do you.

It is our desire that all our mortal children, either on the earth or in the spirit world around the earth, come unto their Redeemer, as have these. If they sincerely seek him, according to D&C 93:1, he will manifest himself to them, and soon we will also come to them. This event is a crowning joy to their souls!'

At this time, those dressed in white broke out in singing. This was the song that John the Revelator heard, as is recorded in Revelation 15:2-4:

"And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.

And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvelous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.

Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? For thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest."

When the singing stopped, I realized this day, Pioneer Day, was a time to remember our ancestors and pioneer dead. It could also be a time to remember all of those who have persisted in coming unto their Savior until he manifested himself to them and introduced Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother to them. These are from all peoples, all of the elect over the earth.

I spoke:

'Oh my Gods, I thank thee to have you come before me, and show me so many that have broken through the veil of unbelief and have seen your faces! I know this is possible for all of thy children who diligently seek thee.'

Heavenly Father spoke next:

'Raphael, we are eager to come to them in this pattern we have shown to you. Now is the day for our elect to come unto Our Beloved Son and see his face and then our faces, and know that we live! We will lead them, step by step gradually in their lives, and bring them great peace and assurance. Oh, we love these our elect children!'"

-----------

Here is an experience that happened on the celestial orb in a meeting. At the time, Heavenly Father told me that this is how the meeting would go:

35A16
"At the end of this experience, the angels will all break out into singing the song of the Lamb, as spoken of in Revelation 15:3-4. The area in God's Loving Healing Center will then be transformed to our view as a sea of glass, mingled with fire (Revelation 15:2). Each of the angels will then be imbued with their full angelic powers and strength! This will be done altogether, as a whole. It will be especially powerful and changing for all the mortal angels!"

-----------

The following is an account of the ordination of the 144,000 servants of God, referred to in the Book of Revelation. Once they are ordained by angels of God, they will break out in singing the song of Moses. Here is what Heavenly Father spoke to me would happen on Wednesday, September 8, 2021:

204I2-204I20
"My Father, Jesus Christ, and John the Beloved then appeared before me! Heavenly Father spoke immediately: 'Raphael, I have brought with me today my Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, and his translated earthly son John the Beloved. They will speak to you this morning of the procedure that they will use in issuing callings to the 144,000.'

Jesus then spoke to me: 'Raphael, today my son John will issue a calling from me to each one of our servants I have chosen. These callings will be given in this manner: For those who reside on the island of the New Jerusalem, John has instructed the head prophet to cause the people to be divided up into their respective tribe, into twelve groups at noon today. John, my son, will then replicate himself twelve times and come among each group to direct them what to do.

He will ask those who have been previously called by him in their unconscious minds, even in the celestial world, who know they have been called, to step out from their tribe to a separate area in a single group of their own tribe. After our meeting with you this morning, John will issue these callings to every one of the 144,000 in the celestial realms, with their replicated celestial beings before this meeting at noon. In their mortal state, this will be in their unconscious mind. This is how each one will be separately called. John will receive their acceptance at that time from their celestial self. However, once they separate into their own group in their individual tribe of Israel, he will also receive their verbal confirmation of their acceptance. Once the 12,000 individuals are separated from their tribe, and he is assured these are the ones he has previously called in the celestial realm earlier today, he will ask for their verbal acceptance as a group. They will bow their heads and say "yes" in their own language. They will then be ready to be ordained by the five angels tomorrow, Wednesday September 8, 2021.

For those who are to be members of the 144,000 who are not living on the island of the New Jerusalem, here is how this is to be done: John will replicate himself to come before those whom I have chosen. They will mostly all be gathered to the area north of the New Jerusalem temple, between the golden north steps of the temple and the fountain of living water. The Father will bring them by his power in their replicated being to this location today, at noon on the New Jerusalem. John, my Beloved, will address the entire group and speak to them. He will inform them that they have been replicated in the celestial realm there, for him to issue a calling to each one to be members of the 144,000 servants. He will say they were spiritually called and ordained in the past, but that I desire that they also have this done in the flesh, even in their translated bodies. They will have been translated either previously or today to a terrestrial glory, and then quickened by me to come into this celestial realm for their calling.

John will then replicate himself a sufficient number of times to come before each one gathered at the New Jerusalem temple area. He will individually issue the call to them, and receive their acceptance. When done, he will address this entire group, and ask also for their verbal acceptance by them bowing their heads and saying "yes".

John will speak to them, saying that tomorrow on Wednesday, September 8, 2021, those who came here today will come again individually to the celestial realm in front of the New Jerusalem temple, and be ordained by one of the five angels holding the authority to ordain them. They will confer the Father's priesthood and ordain them a high priest if not previously done for the men. They will ordain them to the Mother's office of high priestess if not previously done for the women. Then they will ordain them to their high and holy calling, as members of the 144,000, to gather Israel to the New Jerusalem and cities of Zion.

Those who reside at the New Jerusalem will come tomorrow, during their 7:00 pm classes, and be ordained in this manner: You, Raphael, will be present and arise above the New Jerusalem island in the air, even in your celestial glory. You will be seen by all of the inhabitants on the island. John has already taught in the classes, as well as their teachers, that you, Raphael, will do this in your authority as our archangel of God.

When you arise in the sky to the location you met with your Heavenly Father (see your post 204F20, which occurred on 9-4-2021), you will raise your sword of Raphael above your head. With a loud voice then call forth the five angels of God. These will immediately come before you, and be seen by those on the island. Then command them to go forth and ordain the 144,000 called servants on this island. These 3 male angels and 2 female angels will then disperse below among the classes and ordain those who are translated and called to their important callings. When done, all the ordained will have received the Father's priesthood, or Mother's high priestess authority, as well as been set apart and ordained as one of the 144,000 servants.

At that time you will remain in the sky until all are individually ordained. This will only take a few minutes, for all will be ordained at the same time. At the conclusion of this grand event, the very celestial skies will open and numerous celestial beings will be seen, singing songs of praise to those on the island! This will be the same song of Moses, and the song of the Lamb, that John foresaw in Revelation 15:3-4-

"And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvelous are thy works, Lord God almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.

Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? For thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest."

After the heavenly choir is completed, the heavens will close and you will return to earth and become again your Raphael terrestrial being. This event will conclude the classes tomorrow evening.

At that time, all of the 144,000 will have been ordained, and be ready to go forth in my power. I will direct them starting the next morning to go forth and start to gather Israel, my elect from the nations of the earth.'

Jesus stopped speaking. Heavenly Father then spoke: 'Raphael, what your Great Redeemer has said will all occur today and tomorrow, September 7 and 8, 2021. By tomorrow evening, all of our 144,000 save a few outside of the New Jerusalem, will be ordained and translated. We will give them our power to replicate and move in the celestial and terrestrial realms on the earth, according to our commands and their intentions to follow our directions. This is a glorious time for all of us, and one of great rejoicing and happiness. Our elect will now be gathered home!'

John the Beloved then spoke: 'Raphael the past few days I have been teaching from the Book of Revelation to the teachers and also in their classes. I have taught of these events coming to them on their island.

This morning I was with you in the celestial realms at the northern steps of the New Jerusalem temple. I witnessed you laying your hands on the five angels of God, conferring upon them your authority from the keys you have been given in your commission, to gather Israel. These angels now have the Father's and Mother's authority and charge, through you, to ordain the 144,000 servants that I will call today.

This is a great day of joy in heaven! The great work of Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother is going forth boldly upon the earth!'

I bowed my head before my Father, his Son Jesus Christ, and John the Beloved. I thanked them for their messages, and said I would do my part in this great event in empowering the 144,000 servants.

My two Gods then rose up into the celestial sky, leaving John and I to talk. We watched as they both departed. John and I then walked on the grass to the east, talking over what had just occurred.

My vision then vanished, and I was back in my room writing all of this in my journal. I closed my prayer in the name of Jesus Christ."

-----------

It is interesting what happened after the above experience when I saw in vision what actually happened during the ordination of the 144,000 servants:

204J32
"Note from R: Later I wondered later why in my experience last night I didn't hear the heavenly chorus singing after the angels left. I asked my Heavenly Father this question. He spoke to my mind: 'Raphael, sometimes in a vision our children may only view one thing and not another. This was the case with you last night. You were wondering where your portal was, even before hearing the bell ring. Being distracted, you did not hear the celestial choirs in the skies above the New Jerusalem (see your post 204I10).' I thanked my Heavenly Father, and thought I should try to be more observant next time."

-----------

26A7-26A8
"Q– Concerning Revelation 15:2-4 Who are these people? and has this happened yet? A– These are the faithful who come to the Church of the Firstborn, who have overcome the world. This is a time after the day of judgment, at the end of the 1,000 years of peace. In verse 4 it is mentioned that all God's judgments are just. See also D&C 77:1 (below).

8. D&C 77:1 Q. What is the sea of glass spoken of by John, 4th chapter, and 6th verse of the Revelation?
A. It is the earth, in its sanctified, immortal, and eternal state."

See my post 26
-----------

The several entries from my Book of Raphael that I have copied above describe the humming or singing of the song of Moses on different occasions. I have grouped these in sequence below:

1) During a general assembly meeting on November 25th, 2016, where the angels of God sang this song of Moses. I was told that "the angels will all break out into singing the song of the Lamb, as spoken of in Revelation 15:3-4. The area in God's Loving Healing Center will then be transformed to our view as a sea of glass, mingled with fire" (see 35A16)

2) When Heavenly Mother was humming the tune of the song of Moses on June 12, 2020.

3) Immediately after the 144,000 had been ordained by the angels of God on September 8, 2021.

4) During the second coming of Jesus Christ, before the elect descend with Jesus Christ to the earth.

5) When "a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands" (see Revelation 7:9-10). It was at this time that John the Revelator heard and named this song of Moses. I believe that this is the same time when the faithful who come to the Church of the Firstborn, who have overcome the world. This is a time after the day of judgment, at the end of the 1,000 years of peace.

After pondering this, I prayed to my Heavenly Mother about the song of Moses. I asked her in my prayer if she had more to add to any of what I had found about the song of Moses.

I immediately felt her presence before me! She spoke these words to me:

"Raphael, my son, I am pleased that you found these references to the song of Moses, or song of the Lamb (they are the same), in your Book of Raphael! This song is a specific hymn of praise that has great historical significance, for it was composed during the first eternity of our first parent Gods. Both our first Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother worked together on this. When completed, it was sung seven major times during that first eternity, even at significant events among their first children:

1) They sang this song once it was announced in their premortal world that there would be an earth where those who accepted their Christ would be coming for their mortal experience.
2) It was sung by the angels after the fall of their first Adam and Eve.
3) All the hosts of the premortal world during that first eternity broke out in singing after their Great Redeemer finished suffering for the sins of mankind and was resurrected.
4) They next all sang this same song of Moses at the time of the second coming of their Redeemer.
5) All who had entered and received all the ordinances of their New Jerusalem Temple, in the Church of the Firstborn sang this song of the Lamb.
6) All those who had been sealed to each other exalted as couple Gods broke out in singing when the last couple was ordained a couple God on their first celestial orb!.
7) Finally, when all were ordained Gods and Goddesses, they again sang this song on their own first resurrected celestial earth.

There were a few other times too that this hymn was sung in that first eternity as well, but those above are the seven milestone events where it was sung.

Now, in our current eternity, we have also taught our children this same sacred celestial hymn. It was designed to only be learned and sung in the celestial realms, and cannot be even understood in the lower realms of glory. We taught our children this song of the Lamb after they each learned about the new earth they would enter, and after they had mastered learning all about their future physical bodies and functions. This was after Lucifer and his hosts were cast out of heaven. Learning this song was also a prerequisite for all of our mortal children coming from celestial realms of glory to their mortal probation.

The song of the Lamb contains twelve verses, the last few verses of which are translated into English in D&C 84:98-102:

"Until all shall know me, who remain, even from the least unto the greatest, and shall be filled with the knowledge of the Lord, and shall see eye to eye, and shall lift up their voice, and with the voice together sing this new song, saying:

The Lord hath brought again Zion;
The Lord hath redeemed his people, Israel,
According to the election of grace,
Which was brought to pass by the faith
And covenant of their fathers.

The Lord hath redeemed his people;
And Satan is bound and time is no longer.
The Lord hath gathered all things in one.
The Lord hath brought down Zion from above.
The Lord hath brought up Zion from beneath.

The earth hath travailed and brought forth her strength;
And truth is established in her bowels;
And the heavens have smiled upon her;
And she is clothed with the glory of her God;
For he stands in the midst of his people.

Glory, and honor, and power, and might,
Be ascribed to our God; for he is full of mercy,
Justice, grace and truth, and peace,
Forever and ever, Amen."

Each time this song of the Lamb is sung, it is always in the celestial realm, and always in the original language of the Gods in which it was learned, called the Adamic tongue. Your Heavenly Father and I will also sing this same song with our righteous children at seven major milestones in this eternity. These will be at the same times as occurred on the first eternity. Each time, those our righteous children who sing will either be already in the celestial realm, or be brought there and quickened to that realm while they sing this anthem. Each time they have been or will be accompanied by a celestial orchestra. John the Revelator spoke of this orchestra when he said "having the harps of God" in Revelation 15:2. This orchestra was also chosen and played during the first time this was sung in the premortal realms in heaven. As they sing and play, I endow each one who qualifies with a fulness of the Holy Ghost during this hymn. This will bring unspeakable joy to their souls in their journey towards eternal life and exaltation! This is the same fulness of the Holy Ghost that you received from me, as recorded in your post 131H8-131H25 (see also D&C 109:15).

There have been other times also, besides the seven milestone events, that we and our beloved children have sung or will sing the song of the Lamb. You referred to two of these events in the meeting of angels and the ordination of the 144,000 servants of God from your Book of Raphael.

Each time this hymn is sung, there is great rejoicing and an outpouring of my Spirit. This has been repeatedly spoken in the Doctrine and Covenants concerning the gathering to Zion in these last days (see D&C 45:71, D&C 66:11, D&C 101:18, D&C 109:39 and D&C 133:33). These references refer to singing the song of the Lamb in the clouds of heaven, just before Jesus Christ descends with the righteous to the earth. All will be in a celestial realm while singing this song of praise. These will be from the celestial realms themselves, or quickened into this celestial realm and glory in the clouds of heaven. Those who remain on the earth at the time of the singing will not understand nor hear any of these words, for they are in a lower realm. Instead, they will see lightnings above and the brilliance in the heavens.

You may wonder how our beloved children will recall the song of Moses, or song of the Lamb. I will give each mortal child when they are quickened into our celestial realm, a clear remembrance of the words and tune of this song at the time they all assemble to sing. All who sing will also know their part that they have learned, and sing perfectly without being off tune. Even the deaf and dumb who have temporary weaknesses of the flesh will hear and sing in loud anthems of praise and rejoicing!"
(end of Heavenly Mother's words.)

I rejoiced in this great revelation from my Heavenly Mother this morning! I am very excited to again sing the song of the Lamb next time in the clouds of heaven when Jesus Christ comes in glory during his great second coming! I feel the abundance of the Holy Ghost inside of me when I think of all this great, great revelation today!

February 13-14, 2026

This morning I prayed to my Heavenly Father, and was led to my post 81 entitled "Exercising Our Faith" in the Book of Raphael. I was specifically asked to read and ponder about pure religion, found in 181D4-181D10, 81E13-81E15 and 81H3-81H9.

181D4-181D10, from Heavenly Father:
"You discussed with your wife last night the issue of allowing your name to be slandered, ridiculed, or yourself to be laughed at in a derogatory way. This is what our Beloved Son experienced, and he paid no heed to those who did so, for he knew he pleased us. When you are able to know that your Heavenly Mother and I approve of your actions, or that you keep our commandments despite what others may think or say, and you don't get upset but keep your focus on doing our will and the right thing, you are truly our faithful servant. Because of these actions, we may more fully work through you our great works, or reveal to you our revelations with confidence that you will continue to do as we ask.

There are people all around you who respond to what others think and base their actions on their opinions. These do not have the strength or courage to be true to themselves, but are double minded, and are unstable in all their ways.

James 1:5-8
"If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.

A double minded man is unstable in all his ways."

Our faithful servants, on the other hand, are true to what they know is right and what we have revealed to them to do. They pay no heed to the opinions or actions of others, but keep a steady course in following their own purposes and are obedient to our promptings.

Lehi saw in his dream groups of people coming to the tree and partaking of the fruit. Then he saw those in the great and spacious building "in the attitude of mocking and pointing their fingers towards those who had come at and were partaking of the fruit. And after they had tasted of the fruit they were ashamed, because of those who were scoffing at them; and they fell away into forbidden path and were lost." (1 Nephi 8:27-28).

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his confirming words this morning. I said I wanted to be fully obedient to him and my Heavenly Mother, and to pay no heed to the mockings of others around me. I said I was so pleased to hear his words and to keep his commandments.

He then smiled upon me and then left my presence. I closed my prayer in the name of Jesus and returned to my private room where I was writing all of this in my journal."

-----------

81E13-81E15
"Heavenly Mother was speaking:

'Raphael, your wife this morning expressed a feeling that she hadn't been able to connect spiritually to us. She wondered if she was holding you back. You expressed to her your love and acceptance. You also said that she possessed more true religion than anyone else you knew, including yourself, because she was always connecting to others and trying to serve them and lift their burdens. You said she possessed more spiritual gifts and love, more than others you know. You said you loved her and were trying to learn from her loving ways every day.

Your words were sweet to her, Raphael. We agree that she possesses a great portion of love and continued desire to help and uplift others. To us, this is pure religion, undefiled:

James 1:7
"Pure religion and undefiled before God the Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their afflictions and to keep himself unspotted from the world."

On the way home from church you visited two widows who were in need, one who lost her husband this past Tuesday. These acts of kindness reflect the true religion we live. When religion becomes regimented or mechanical, our children lose something. We desire they serve each other because they want to, not because of an assignment. Spontaneous service is often the best kind, particularly if you follow our gentle promptings at the moment.

Raphael, you have a very loving and compassionate spouse who practices pure religion. You both may be disillusioned with the way organized religion is heading in your current world, but you have come to understand the practice of our true religion!'

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her kind and loving words. I said I want to be more open, more loving, reaching out to those who may be in need around me. I am so grateful to serve God's children with my wonderful wife."

-----------

81H3-81H9
"You have been able to see your Father and I both in our happy times and in more rare times when we have been upset or have had negative emotions. These strong emotions have been the result of our thoughts, which we fully control. We could dwell on these negative thoughts, but we have chosen to be happy so we think on positive thoughts that bring us joy.

Raphael, you have wanted more ability to be able to control your mind when facing difficulties and problems in your life. Your Father has given you an overview last night of how you may act in a godly way in these situations. The way you now learn is by actually going through more problems and then controlling your thoughts so you feel and act in ways you wish, so your emotions will naturally flow. We also told you to feel the unwanted or negative emotions, so that you may be able to correct properly your thoughts to change your feelings. Feeling negative emotions gives you experience so that you will gain better control of your thoughts and be able to relate to our other children who dwell in the negative, and have difficult trials in life.

Your Father and I remember clearly the ups and downs of our own mortal lives. These memories are very important to us in helping us succor and bless our children who are going through their own difficult situations in their mortal lives. We gain more compassion and understanding also, more acceptance and empathy. We could only have developed these godly attributes by having our own mortal experience. Cherish the good and hard situations that come your way in your mortal life, and seek to learn all you can from them. When you gain control of your thoughts, your actions will be more Christlike and not at the mercy of uncontrolled thinking.'

Heavenly Mother's eyes were so bright and happy. She seemed so pleased in me and in my efforts to control my thoughts during difficulties. I felt deeply her acceptance and love- of who I am at this time with all my foibles and weaknesses. I realized that to love another, I too need to fully just accept them as they are. I don't need to have judgment of how they may be acting inappropriately in my mind, but just exude acceptance and love. The acceptance doesn't mean anything about how they act, but it means everything about who they are as a person having a mortal experience. I want to be so accepting and loving as my Heavenly Parents are to me!

Heavenly Father then spoke:

'Raphael, because you have experienced the ups and downs of life and have not controlled your mind in the past, you too have felt negative feelings of despair, anger, greed, and a host of unwanted emotions. This gives you greater understanding of your brothers and sisters on earth who dwell with the negative. You accept them because you have experienced similar strong emotions. You learn not to judge because you know how hard it is to change and to pull yourself out of difficult challenges in life. By loving and accepting them, you give them the freedom to change without them feeling judgment because of their poor choices and actions.

This is pure religion, godly religion, our way of living and accepting our beloved children! These are what the teachings of Jesus Christ, Our Beloved Son, meant. When he said for his disciples to love each other, he meant to accept them, regardless of weaknesses or their actions. They are to be supported and loved, not judged or criticized.'

Here is the scripture Heavenly Father was referring to:

John 13:34-35
"A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.""

-----------

Here is another few paragraphs from my post 199 that echoes this same thing as those above:

199L12-199L17, from Heavenly Mother:
"'Raphael, you, your wife and son spent the day celebrating the birthday of your oldest daughter. You took the entire afternoon and early evening focusing on her and her two children. She was so pleased and happy with the love you all showered upon her, making her birthday a big celebration.

The attention you gave to her and her two young boys is the type of love, care, and service that our elect will have for each other, even to those not in their families. They will be genuinely interested in the happiness and well-being of each other. This sort of love is rarely found in your telestial world except for parents' love to their children. The intensity of service and love will be similar to this love that some parents have for their children. They will study what service would delight their neighbors and then actively do it. This is akin to the love Jesus had for his disciples.

John 13:34-35
"A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another."

When you felt tired today, you still pushed through and did the things that made your daughter and her two boys feel so special and happy. You didn't do your own will, but you did what pleased them. This is the type of love Jesus, our Beloved Son, showered upon his disciples and all the people he ministered to. He rarely thought of himself, or his own needs. When he had any free time, he often sought us, his Heavenly Parents in prayer. He then sought to do our will, and not his own. This was truly selfless service.

John 3:30
"...because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me."

Love in the terrestrial realm focuses on the one who is being served. Love in your telestial world has waxed cold (see Matthew 24:12 ). Often in your society, the love expressed or done for others has something in it for the one serving, rather than selfless love typical of our Zion society. In that realm, we won't have a people who have ulterior self-centered motives when giving service to others. The love in Zion is pure love, given freely without thought of personal compensation of any kind. The focus is also fully on the one being served, and not the one serving. This type of love will spread quickly among our faithful living in Zion, and will make a very peaceful and happy community. Here is where we will shine forth our love in our heavenly light upon all the people.'""

-----------

Here is another reference that I wanted to include from my post 145:

145F3-145F8, from Heavenly Mother:
"She spoke: "Raphael, we wish that our faithful spend quality time with their loved ones, and make time for others in need.

Isaiah 1:17
"Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow."

In seeking to bless others, they truly will be our emissaries of light and love for those to whom they minister.

John 13:34-35
"A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another."

Your Father and I love each of you, our children deeply. Our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, has willingly laid down his life for each of our children. Surely, our elect should love and serve each other, and all those around them.'

I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her beautiful and simple message! I thanked her for her deep love for each of us, her children. I thanked her for her light and love she showers continually upon me!"

-----------

After copying all of these entries above, I feel a little like a hypocrite. This is because I can't seem to get all that I need done, and still serve and help others like I want to do! This is a common feeling I believe among the faithful. Please don't think that I am always attentive to those around me! I have many weaknesses in this area. I have a great example in my wife, for she is constantly seeking the well-being and happiness of others, and works at making them feel special and loved. Today is no exception, being Valentine's day. She has already texted many friends and acquaintances, sending them good cheer and love, and has plans to visit others with small gifts, particularly those who have lost their husbands. This is truly Christlike love!

I next prayed to my Heavenly Father and Mother above. I asked them to enlighten me more with what they wanted to say when they referred me to my post 81.

I first perceived my Heavenly Father directly in front of me, and then my Heavenly Mother came to his right side. They held hands, and my Father spoke:

"Raphael, we are getting more and more disgusted with the lack of love in your current society! There are many other areas on the earth where the love of God has been absent for years. This day before the second coming of Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son, has been seen by many ancient and modern prophets as one where our children fight and kill each other, with little emotional connections to even those in their own families. Your day is one of great wickedness and vengeance!

Moses 7:61-62
"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;"
The love of mankind has also largely departed from the wicked in your day.

Matthew 24:12-13
"And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved."

Your Mother and I will gather out our righteous children from among the wicked. We will gather them to safe places in Zion, the New Jerusalem, where they will show great love and consideration to each other. They will all be taught our truths, and rejoice together! These will be the elect whom we will bring forth into the great millennial day of peace and love! We have no choice but to move the wicked, who will not listen to our voice, into the next telestial world of the spirits, so that the society among our beloved children may grow in great love towards each other and towards us, their Heavenly Parents.

Isaiah 52:7-9
"How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!

Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the Lord shall bring again Zion.

Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem: for the Lord hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem.""
(end of Heavenly Father's words)

Heavenly Mother then spoke to me:

"Raphael, I am so very excited to have my righteous children gather to Zion and love each other with genuine thoughts of serving and caring tenderly for one another!

Moses 7:18
"And the Lord called his people Zion, because they were of one heart and one mind, and dwelt in righteousness; and there was no poor among them."

Our people will be of one heart and one mind, not only in doctrine and beliefs, but in showing love and kind thoughts one towards another. If there is any distress or need among a family member, friend, neighbor, or other fellow citizen of Zion, the immediate thought that will come into the mind of our child will be to care for and succor them, as if they were their very own child. This great outpouring of love will bring an abundance of my Spirit, even the Holy Ghost, into the hearts of the giver and receiver. My Spirit will bind them as strong friends, with loving bonds that cannot be broken.

Raphael, above all else done in the society of the millennial world, these actions of love are the very most important! How can these, my beloved children, act otherwise if they hope to secure for themselves and their beloved friends in Zion an eternal place in our celestial realms? The outward showing forth of love and kindness, in all their actions, bring immediately your Father and I great joy, even to tears! Oh, how we love to see Christlike love bloom across our terrestrial world in that millennial day!"
(end of Heavenly Mother's words)

I then felt an abundance of the Holy Ghost in my whole being! I thanked both my Heavenly Parents for their revelations on true love today! I asked them to fill my fellow elect sons and daughters of God, and me with an abundance of their charity, the pure love of God, even while we labor in this telestial mortal world. My Heavenly Parents each smiled upon me while they rose up into the heavens and departed. I felt that they will answer this petition for me, and for every soul who also asks them in faith, and then acts on the promptings to show forth kindness, service, and love unfeigned to those around them.

__________________________________________

February 15-17, 2026

Today I soon found out what my Heavenly Father wanted me to study and to write about in my Book of Raphael. It is found in D&C 133:1-15:

"1 Hearken, O ye people of my church, saith the Lord your God, and hear the word of the Lord concerning you—

2 The Lord who shall suddenly come to his temple; the Lord who shall come down upon the world with a curse to judgment; yea, upon all the nations that forget God, and upon all the ungodly among you.

3 For he shall make bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations, and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of their God.

4 Wherefore, prepare ye, prepare ye, O my people; sanctify yourselves; gather ye together, O ye people of my church, upon the land of Zion, all you that have not been commanded to tarry.

5 Go ye out from Babylon. Be ye clean that bear the vessels of the Lord.

6 Call your solemn assemblies, and speak often one to another. And let every man call upon the name of the Lord.

7 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.

8 Send forth the elders of my church unto the nations which are afar off; unto the islands of the sea; send forth unto foreign lands; call upon all nations, first upon the Gentiles, and then upon the Jews.

9 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.

10 Yea, let the cry go forth among all people: Awake and arise and go forth to meet the Bridegroom; behold and lo, the Bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Prepare yourselves for the great day of the Lord.

11 Watch, therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour.

12 Let them, therefore, who are among the Gentiles flee unto Zion.

13 And let them who be of Judah flee unto Jerusalem, unto the mountains of the Lords house.

14 Go ye out from among the nations, even from Babylon, from the midst of wickedness, which is spiritual Babylon.

15 But verily, thus saith the Lord, let not your flight be in haste, but let all things be prepared before you; and he that goeth, let him not look back lest sudden destruction shall come upon him."

-----------

Here is the interpretation from my Heaven Mother of most of these verses, give in 198I3-198I5

"She spoke to me: 'Raphael, when you read scriptures now about the gathering of our elect, you can see much more clearly how they will be fulfilled. As you read section 133 of the Doctrine and Covenants, I enlightened your mind to see a second deeper meaning of some of these verses:

D&C 133:2-3,5-7,9-15 (Note from R: I have added a few paragraph returns and have highlighted Heavenly Mother's words more clearly to my original entry below. I have done this so it is easier to read her own words.)

v2. "The Lord who shall suddenly come to his temple:

(see your post 189F10 to 189F12.

The Lord, Jesus Christ, will come to his celestial temple on July 19, 2021, a little over two weeks away, and administer to you the waters of separation ordinance. This will begin the great entry of our beloved elect children into the Church of the Firstborn. Jesus Christ will come to his temple of the New Jerusalem that you have built with the help of thousands of our celestial servants. You are the messenger of the covenant referred to in the LDS footnote in this verse, Raphael. Once you are given entry into the Church of the Firstborn, and begin administering with Oriphiel this great gift to others, then will our son Jesus Christ come down in greater judgment upon the telestial world)

(the Lord who shall come down upon the world with a curse to judgment; yea, upon all the nations that forget God, and upon all the ungodly among you.)

v3. For he shall make bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations,

(this means upon the wicked nations in your telestial world, and the gathered elect who will come from all nations to the New Jerusalem in the terrestrial world)

and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of their God

(this refers to those who are celestial elect, from all the ends of the earth, or from all time, who come to our celestial temple in the New Jerusalem and receive from you and Oriphiel their further significant step in their eternal salvation).

v5. Go yet out from Babylon. Be ye clean that bear the vessels of the Lord

(this command is given again, now specifically to our elect who live in the telestial world that is being overtaken by Babylon, the wicked. Our call is to gather to Zion, the New Jerusalem.).

v6. Call your solemn assemblies, and speak often one to another.

(like the pattern you are doing on your own trek, in talking daily to your fellow travelers about our true doctrines and the great events coming to the earth, particularly about Zion.).

And let every man,

(woman and child)

call upon the name of the Lord

(and receive and confirm our revelations of these things. We will give each our revelation to gather to Zion and to come to the New Jerusalem.)

v7. Yea, verily I say unto you again, the time has come when the voice of the Lord

(through our Spirit, by the promptings and guidance of angels, and soon by the 144,000 who are commissioned to gather our elect)

is unto you: Go ye out of Babylon;

(the telestial world in which you live)

gather ye out from among the nations, from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

(This includes all of our celestial elect from the hosts of our children who will be called and gathered to our celestial New Jerusalem temple, and receive our eternal ordinances there from the angels of God.)

v9. 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,

(at first this was to the telestial church, even the LDS church to build it up. However, now in the latter phase, it will be a call to come forth to the actual land of Zion, the New Jerusalem.)

that the borders of my people may be enlarged,

(even to surrounding cities of Zion)

and that her stakes may be strengthened,

(stakes of the terrestrial Church of Christ, to be headquartered in the terrestrial city of the New Jerusalem)

and that Zion may go forth unto the regions round about.

v10. Yea, let the cry go forth among all people: Awake and arise and go forth to meet the Bridegroom;

(even Jesus Christ, who will accept them into his Church of the Firstborn, and greatly reward each one who hears our voice and keeps our commandments)

behold and lo, the Bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Prepare yourselves for the great day of the Lord.

(when Jesus Christ comes again to the earth in great glory.)

v11. Watch, therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour.

v12. Let them, therefore, who are among the Gentiles flee unto Zion

(the New Jerusalem).

v13. And let them who be of Judah flee unto Jerusalem.

(the New Jerusalem),

unto the mountains of the Lord's house

(where our temple has been erected on the celestial land of the earth.)

v14. Go ye out from among the nations, even from Babylon, from the midst of wickedness, which is spiritual Babylon.

v15. But verily, thus saith the Lord, let not your flight be in haste, but let all things be prepared before you; and he that goeth, let him not look back lest sudden destruction shall come upon him.

(for the telestial mortal world will break down into chaos and destruction quickly, and there is no returning.)"
(words above in parentheses are from Heavenly Mother)

-----------

Here is my post 189F10 to 189F13 that Heavenly Mother referenced above:

From Heavenly Father:
"Malachi 3:1
"Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts."

The LDS Church leaders have interpreted the messenger of the covenant to be Jesus Christ, our Beloved Son. However, how can Jesus prepare the way before himself, for this is inconsistent with our ways of doing things. There is another who prepares the way when the Lord comes to his temple. The temple referred to is the New Jerusalem temple.

Raphael, you are the messenger of the covenant. The covenant is in part the ordinance of the waters of separation that you will administer to everyone of our celestial elect, which brings them into the Church of the Firstborn. These, our proven and faithful sons and daughters, will then be able to proceed to receive all of the covenants and ordinances in our New Jerusalem temple for their exaltation, even from the angels of God.

Our beloved celestial elect will greatly delight in you, the messenger of the covenant, and of that glorious ordinance that brings them into our celestial church. Our holy angels will also administer to these, our celestial elect, in the New Jerusalem temple. This is the true meaning of Malachi 3:1. You are our Branch, and the messenger of the beginning covenant of eternal life and exaltation, and their eventual exaltation.'"

-----------

When I prayed about this scripture passage of D&C 133:1-15, I felt that my Heavenly Father particularly wanted Heavenly Mother's interpretation of these verses, that I have included above. He then spoke to me these few words:

"Raphael, you are the messenger of the covenant, not Jesus Christ. You are the one we have appointed to administer the waters of separation ordinance to all of our proven children whom Jesus Christ has chosen, for their entry into the Church of the Firstborn. You are the prophet whom Malachi referred to in Malachi 3:1." Although it has been recorded in your Book of Raphael before, I wanted to reemphasize this again today so that our elect don't miss this important message.

__________________________________________

February 18, 2026

Late in the evening on February 17th, 2026, I sought my Father in Heaven, to know what he wanted me to study and ponder tomorrow. I was led directly to D&C 88:78-80, which reads as follows:

"Teach ye diligently and my grace shall attend you, that you may be instructed more perfectly in theory, in principle, in doctrine, in the law of the gospel, in all things that pertain unto the kingdom of God, that are expedient for you to understand;

Of things both in heaven and in the earth, and under the earth; things which have been, things which are, things which must shortly come to pass; things which are at home, things which are abroad; the wars and the perplexities of the nations, and the judgments which are on the land; and a knowledge also of countries and of kingdoms—

That ye may be prepared in all things when I shall send you again to magnify the calling whereunto I have called you, and the mission with which I have commissioned you."

I had an experience last Sunday during the sacrament meeting that was very impactful to me. I came home and wrote all of what occurred to me in a private page of my journal. In this account, I referenced this exact scripture that I was led to today. I also now understand that my Father and Mother want to me to share this in my open journal with all of you. I feel the confirmation of the Holy Ghost to do this now, even though I had thought that it might be months before I would be directed to share this. I now know that they want it shared immediately.

As a preface to my experience given below, I have pondered "why me?" a lot. I wondered and prayed. I felt deeply that what I saw in my vision during the sacrament meeting is true. I ask that you also pray about this, and confirm with Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, if this is true. If it is true, and if you are open and humble, you will receive a witness from the Holy Ghost that this occurred as I have stated.

-----------

Here is what I had written in my private journal last Sunday that I am now directed to share. It spans February 15-17, 2026, the same time period of my previous journal entry above:

Experience at the sacrament, Sunday, February 15, 2026

I attended sacrament meeting at my local ward today. Directly after I ate the bread, I sought my Heavenly Parents in prayer. I immediately saw my Father and then my Mother in front of me, both in very regal clothes, with gold trimmed robes. I saw on each of their heads gold crowns! They were absolutely majestic in appearance! I had the impression they were displaying being a King and a Queen over their posterity, with complete power and authority to orchestrate events on the earth as they pleased.

I then looked at myself from a distance, and I was kneeling in shining vestures of an archangel. Heavenly Mother had a gold crown in her hands, and placed this crown on my head. As she did so, I remembered the gold crown with the word "UNION" emblazoned on it that I received also from Heavenly Mother on Sunday, May 16, 2021 (see 194H11):

"Next, my Heavenly Mother came holding a gold crown with the word "UNION" in capital letters emblazoned on it. The crown was also exceedingly bright with golden rays sparkling from it. She placed it with her hands onto my head, with the words facing her. She then backed up next to the Father. They were about twenty feet away from me to my right side."

Today, however, Heavenly Mother placed a different gold crown on my brow. This gold crown did not have the words "UNION" emblazoned on it. It had no words, but was similarly very shining. I was feeling very much in awe of this entire experience, for I had never received such a remarkable visit during my time at the sacrament!

Heavenly Mother stepped back next to Heavenly Father. No words were spoken yet. Both my Heavenly Parents were smiling, standing in front of me a few feet above the ground.

I then stood up on my feet facing them, and said I wanted to renew my sacramental covenant with them both. I knew I was replicated before them in the celestial realms on the earth. I raised my right arm to the square, and made my covenant before them, in my thoughts. When I was done, Heavenly Father spoke these words to me:

"Raphael, your Heavenly Mother and I accept your covenant. We will always be with you, in our very persons. You will always have our Spirit to be with you.

We have prepared this gold crown for you, which your Mother has placed on your head. With this crown, we are signifying that you too are a king, somewhat in a way like I am a King and your Heavenly Mother is a Queen. You are also a righteous high priest.

With this gold crown on your head, you have a portion of our authority as a rightful earthly king, to influence the nations of your current telestial mortal world. You have been studying diligently the perplexities of the nations, increasingly over the past year, according to the scriptures:

D&C 88:78-80
"78 Teach ye diligently and my grace shall attend you, that you may be instructed more perfectly in theory, in principle, in doctrine, in the law of the gospel, in all things that pertain unto the kingdom of God, that are expedient for you to understand;

79 Of things both in heaven and in the earth, and under the earth; things which have been, things which are, things which must shortly come to pass; things which are at home, things which are abroad; the wars and the perplexities of the nations, and the judgments which are on the land; and a knowledge also of countries and of kingdoms—

80 That ye may be prepared in all things when I shall send you again to magnify the calling whereunto I have called you, and the mission with which I have commissioned you."

We now send you forth to understand more fully our will as it relates to "things which have been, things which are, things which must shortly come to pass; things which are at home, things which are abroad; the wars and the perplexities of the nations" (verse 79). If you feel some policy needs to change, or that a nation needs to win a conflict, or something should change in your world, then pray to me, in the name of Jesus Christ. Heavenly Mother will send upon you her Holy Ghost, to inspire you for what to pray. Then ask me in faith for anything she may inspire you to request that pertains to nations, governments or cultures of the earth, and we will hear and answer your prayer. We will change the situation in your telestial mortal world according to your prayer of faith. The overarching effort we wish to now accomplish is for our chosen elect to be safely gathered to Zion, the New Jerusalem, as they feel directed. Your inspired prayers will open up doors of passage for them to fulfill their desires in gathering to our safe refuge in a very wicked world."

Heavenly Mother then spoke:

"Raphael, I will direct you in your study of current events, so that you become aware of what we wish you to be inspired about and to pray for. In the future, when you pray for such things to the Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, you will also see your own person praying, wearing this gold crown which I have placed on your brow as you pray. This short vision of you with the crown praying will be our signal to you that what you are praying for is also our will, and will be answered in our own due time."

I bowed my head and knelt again before my Heavenly Parents. I thanked them for entrusting me with such inspiration, responsibility, and understanding to be able to request their intervention in the circumstances of the nations of my world. I said I would be always humble, seeking diligently to discern their holy will, and not my own.

At this time the sacrament meeting began again, and I lost my immediate connection with my Gods. In the afternoon, I came in my quiet bedroom and wrote all of what I experienced down, in a separate record from my journal.

February 16-17, 2026

When I returned home after attending our sacrament meeting yesterday, I wrote my above entry. In the evening, as I was pondering what I had received, I prayed whether I should then pray for some issues that would greatly benefit bringing relative peace in the United States of America, and assist in allowing the elect to come to Zion, the New Jerusalem in the terrestrial realm. I wondered if my Heavenly Parents would show me myself praying with a shining gold crown on my head, when I specifically prayed for an issue.

I then wrote on a paper those issues that I felt would qualify and be approved of my Father and Mother. I prayed about these things specifically, one at a time. I came up with thirteen items to pray for, that I felt assured would be approved by my Heavenly Parents. I also prayed for two which I did not receive a confirmation from the Spirit. These are also included below as requests that I shouldn't ask. I include these two in order to give the reader a better understanding of the mind of God on the issues of our day.

The next morning, on February 16th, while in the quiet seclusion before the family stirred, I prayed for each of these thirteen confirmed issues. After I petitioned my Heavenly Parents in prayer for each one, I saw myself praying on my knees, with a gold crown on my head. This was my signal that my prayer for each item had been heard and received by God, and that they would answer this prayer with action, by their power. I saw this crown on my head thirteen times, each time I prayed about one of the specific requests.

Before I write these requests below, I want to express my humble gratitude to my Father and Mother for this great gift and power that they have bestowed upon me! I don't know why this is all happening, but it is. I don't know why they have chosen to endow me with such a power to petition them, and receive confirmation of acceptance of my prayer, but they have. I humbly accept this gracious gift from my very loving and kind Heavenly Parents! In no way am I thinking I am any more than a normal man. I believe this is all their great blessing, and not by any real qualification that I see that I have done myself, except being steady in obedience to them, and in seeking their face continually. I see myself a normal individual with weaknesses common to all mankind.

Here are the thirteen requests that I prayed about and confirmed this morning. I received clear confirmation for each one that it was accepted, for I saw myself in a short vision from a distance with a shining gold crown praying. I saw this after I prayed to my Heavenly Parents after each accepted request. I also received much light and confirmation from the Spirit that each prayer request was accepted.

My initial thirteen requests:
1) May the "Save America Act" that may be voted on as early as this coming week pass the Senate. This is all about election integrity, that only US Citizens will be able to vote in upcoming elections. They will need to show voter ID, and will have one vote each.

2) In the upcoming November 2026 midterm elections for the US House and Senate, I prayed that those elected will, by a majority, be supportive of the "Make America Great Again" (MAGA) purposes as promoted by President Donald Trump. This would mean that the Republicans will sweep the elections with majorities in both federal houses and also likely increase in state governments.

3) May the Trump Administration continue to find, eliminate, and prosecute appropriately government fraud and abuse, and illegal and clandestine actions both in federal and state agencies.

4) Continue the speedy deportation of illegal aliens in the United States in record numbers, until almost exclusively only US citizens and authorized foreigners with temporary VISAs or green cards are within the boundaries of the US.

5) May Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Quebec, and the Yukon Territory in Canada become annexed as the 51st-56th states in the United States.

6) May Greenland be permanently secured to the US for our military bases, a location for the golden dome protection of North America, and that the US will have mineral rights to this vast landmass.

7) May the entire western hemisphere become composed of mostly healthy sovereign nations in North, Central and South America which have strong alliances with the United States, and that these nations will be protected from intrusions from other hostile nations.

8) May regulations for mandatory vaccines for schools, travel and daily living be eliminated.

9) May the US government restrict incentives for processed foods, seed oils, ultra processed foods, and chemical food additives, and that real food consumption will be encouraged.

10) May there be a dramatic awakening among the elect across the earth to find my record, the Book of Raphael. Also, may the Holy Ghost come very strongly upon the elect to come to Zion, the New Jerusalem, and inspire them in their journey.

11) May there be a great awakening among the LDS people to think more independently of church doctrine and stranglehold dogmas promoted by their leaders, to find and search the Book of Raphael, and to move forward to Zion as the Spirit directs them.

12) May any widespread fraud and evil coverups at high levels in the LDS Church be fully exposed for all to see. May this cause a significant renewal of searching for God and rebalancing of member's beliefs to the importance of individual and personal revelation directly from the Holy Ghost.

13) May the drought in Utah be reversed, so that we have ample water to satisfy the increased population growth in the state, and to still have abundance to water our crops, lands and livestock. That the February 28th, 2026 general fast to be held in Utah churches be answered with sufficient rain in the valleys and snowfall in the mountains.

Here are the two requests that I did not receive approval for:

• That the Democratic Party in the United States be destroyed from within, and by the overall rejection of the citizens of the country.

• That European countries awaken to 1) deport all illegal aliens from their countries, 2) become sovereign nations again, 3) eliminate the European Union, and 4) return to a Christian heritage in the sovereign lands.

-----------

Later, on February 17, 2026
While working outside yesterday, I was listening to a conservative YouTube channel and heard the supposed new approach of the democrat party: The claim was that they are now planning to act very reasonable and acceptable to the general public, rather than their current radical left talking which is fully against constitutional principles and fiscal responsiblity. Then, after they are planning to be elected in the 2026 midterms (with their aim to hopefully win the US house and senate congressional seats to receive a majority), they will immediately turn back into who they really are, as very left radical democrats, or even socialists. They plan to thereby trick the public with their pleasing words, and then turn on them with more government regulations, anti-ICE policies, and other programs they currently promote which undermine President Trump.

I prayed about this last night and this morning, and felt this was exactly their plan! I also was impressed that I should pray to my Heavenly Parents that this new Democratic Party approach would backfire on them, and that the general public would somehow not believe their lies and deception. After I prayed this morning about the following 14th request, I again saw clearly a gold crown on my brow while I was praying.

14) May the US Democrat Party's new plan of deceit to trick voters, by not keeping middle ground and moderate campaign promises, but then turning into far left and liberal socialists once elected, entirely backfire on these conniving ones seeking public office.

-----------

After I wrote all of the above, I remembered that Nephi, the son of Helaman, received the sealing power of the Lord. This is recorded in Helaman 10:3-10:

"3 And it came to pass as he was thus pondering—being much cast down because of the wickedness of the people of the Nephites, their secret works of darkness, and their murderings, and their plunderings, and all manner of iniquities—and it came to pass as he was thus pondering in his heart, behold, a voice came unto him saying:

4 Blessed art thou, Nephi, for those things which thou hast done; for I have beheld how thou hast with unwearyingness declared the word, which I have given unto thee, unto this people. And thou hast not feared them, and hast not sought thine own life, but hast sought my will, and to keep my commandments.

5 And now, because thou hast done this with such unwearyingness, behold, I will bless thee forever; and I will make thee mighty in word and in deed, in faith and in works; yea, even that all things shall be done unto thee according to thy word, for thou shalt not ask that which is contrary to my will.

6 Behold, thou art Nephi, and I am God. Behold, I declare it unto thee in the presence of mine angels, that ye shall have power over this people, and shall smite the earth with famine, and with pestilence, and destruction, according to the wickedness of this people.

7 Behold, I give unto you power, that whatsoever ye shall seal on earth shall be sealed in heaven; and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven; and thus shall ye have power among this people.

8 And thus, if ye shall say unto this temple it shall be rent in twain, it shall be done.

9 And if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou cast down and become smooth, it shall be done.

10 And behold, if ye shall say that God shall smite this people, it shall come to pass.

11 And now behold, I command you, that ye shall go and declare unto this people, that thus saith the Lord God, who is the Almighty: Except ye repent ye shall be smitten, even unto destruction."

I then wondered why Jesus Christ gave Nephi this power, when he himself could do it himself, without Nephi? Was it to train Nephi, or to make him elevated in the eyes of the people, or something else? Soon after Nephi received this power, he prophesied this to the people:

Helaman 10:14
"Except ye repent, thus saith the Lord, ye shall be smitten even unto destruction."

He next petitioned the Lord the following:

Helaman 11:3-5
"3 And it came to pass that in this year Nephi did cry unto the Lord, saying:

4 O Lord, do not suffer that this people shall be destroyed by the sword; but O Lord, rather let there be a famine in the land, to stir them up in remembrance of the Lord their God, and perhaps they will repent and turn unto thee.

5 And so it was done, according to the words of Nephi. And there was a great famine upon the land, among all the people of Nephi. And thus in the seventy and fourth year the famine did continue, and the work of destruction did cease by the sword but became sore by famine."

When the people finally repented, Nephi pled to the Lord that he would turn away his anger, and send rain upon the earth (see Helaman 11:9-16).

In a similar way, I wonder if my Heavenly Parents want me to make judgments on the earth, in full alignment with their views and desires? However, unlike Nephi, I act in secret now, but someday my actions may be revealed to the righteous.

I made this a matter of prayer this morning. I asked my Heavenly Father specifically to come and answer my question, of why he and Heavenly Mother are choosing me to pray to them for specific requests about the wars and perplexities of the nations, particularly for my nation it seems.

Heavenly Father then appeared before me, and spoke these words:

"Raphael, your Heavenly Mother and I are pleased with the fourteen requests that you have made of us in humble and sincere prayer. We gave you the gift of vision to see yourself with a gold crown on your head as a sign that we accepted these requests, and will fulfill them in our own due time.

You asked why we are doing this for you at this time, even while you act in secret, with very few knowing what we are having you do. We are doing this to establish you as our prophet and seer, similar to why we called Nephi, the son of Helaman, to have power over the elements. We know that you will only ask for that which we confirm to you as our will. When the requests you pray for are fulfilled, you will gain greater confidence that we hear and answer your specific prayers. You will then have the great faith to fulfill our mission that we have for you to do in the near future.

Secondly, there will be a time in the near future when we will ask you to share this information in your Book of Raphael. Our elect who more and more will read and study your record of revelations, will then also know that you are our prophet and seer, and that you truly do commune with us daily in such an intimate setting as you do. They will gain the confidence in you, for when they pray whether what you have written is true, they will receive the confirming voice of the Holy Ghost to witness to their hearts and minds.

Thirdly, your Heavenly Mother and I could do these actions that we inspire you to petition us about, all by ourselves. However, our method to have you come to a knowledge of what we wish to do, and then to pray for these specific plans, makes our great work more specifically known to you and to our elect. When you all see our actions change your nation of the United States specifically, and the events as they unfold in your country, this has a greater impact upon the people.

We have made a promise to you of relative peace in your land while President Donald Trump is in his second term of office. We will fulfill this overall promise by also fulfilling all the individual actions that are a direct fulfillment of your inspired prayers.

Finally, we have chosen to show you a short vision of a gold crown upon your brow while you pray as our sign to you that we accept your prayer and petition to us. The gold symbolized that our mighty power as a King and Queen of this eternity, and that it is by our mighty hand that these actions are fulfilled. We have extended the image of a gold crown on your head as our acceptance of your prayer to us. This shows to you that it is by our power, your Heavenly Parents, that these prayers are fulfilled, or will be soon fulfilled.

Raphael, it is by curious means that we fulfill our actions. To Lehi, we gave him a Liahona outside of his tent door, to guide his family through the wilderness. We created on this curious ball a spindle to point the way to travel, and written words we added or changed on the ball. We also gave our ancient prophets and Joseph Smith, Jun, a Urim and Thummim, a means by which we gave them revelation and a way to translate ancient records. You received our own unique healing methods from us, from our heavenly realms in your energy class in April, 2013. We now give you a sign of our gold crown, symbolizing our authority and power, upon your head while you pray. Our ways are not ordinary, but unique manifestations of us, your Gods.

Mormon 9:25-27
"And whosoever shall believe in my name, doubting nothing, unto him will I confirm all my words, even unto the ends of the earth.

And now, behold, who can stand against the works of the Lord? Who can deny his sayings? Who will rise up against the almighty power of the Lord? Who will despise the works of the Lord? Who will despise the children of Christ? Behold, all ye who are despisers of the works of the Lord, for ye shall wonder and perish.

O then despise not, and wonder not, but hearken unto the words of the Lord, and ask the Father in the name of Jesus for what things soever ye shall stand in need. Doubt not, but be believing, and begin as in times of old, and come unto the Lord with all your heart, and work out your own salvation with fear and trembling before him."
(end of Heavenly Father's words)

February 19, 2026

Last night I was listening to and reading about the upcoming conflict between the US and Iran in my news sources. I felt that this inevitable conflict could become very ugly for both sides, and grow into a regional or worldwide conflict. When I finally had my evening prayer, I asked to approach both my Heavenly Parents. In my prayer, I asked if I might request that certain things happen to turn out for a clear victory for the United States in this brewing conflict. This would be for the overall freeing of Iran from the Ayatollah Khamenei's dictatorial rule since 1989. I felt that this was not going to be easy.

As I prayed, I was actually surprised to come to understand that every part of my queries was favorably accepted with my Heavenly Parents. I then composed in my prayer a fifteenth request:

15) May the current US-Iran conflict be a decisive win for the US, with a strong and quick resolution, little our no loss of life of US servicemen or women, decisive power and victory by a superior US military, a decapitation of the Iranian regime, and an overall improvement towards peace in the Middle East region. May China and Russia be helpless and non-players in the conflict. In the end, may the United States be able to soon remove most of its overall presence with assurances of a new government favorable to peace in the region and promoting the rights and protection for its people.

When I offered up to my Father and Mother this request, I saw a short vision of me praying with a gold crown on my head. I felt a confirmation from the Holy Ghost that my request was pleasing to my Heavenly Parents. I expressed gratitude for the unique opportunity to come before them in such a manner.

-----------

This morning in my scripture study, I was directed to Joseph Smith Matthew 1:18-20:

"18 For then, in those days, shall be great tribulation on the Jews, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, such as was not before sent upon Israel, of God, since the beginning of their kingdom until this time; no, nor ever shall be sent again upon Israel.

19 All things which have befallen them are only the beginning of the sorrows which shall come upon them.

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."

These verses seem to correlate to the my prayer request above about the US-Iran conflict. I wondered why my Heavenly Father wanted me to study this scripture.

I looked in the 24th chapter of Matthew, and found far less in similar verses, and that Joseph Smith has added much more in his inspired version of these same verses:

Matthew 24:21-22
"21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

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

I looked at the footnote under the word "tribulation" in Joseph Smith Matthew 1:18, and I found this scripture:

Daniel 12:1
"And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book."

I then prayed to my Heavenly Father, asking him to help me with his revelations on these verses. He came in front of me, and spoke these words to me:

"Raphael, I have inspired you to find the above scriptures that relate to the conflicts of the radical Islam religion and the Jews in modern day Israel and across the world. Your fifteenth prayer request that we have approved and will fulfill, is part of our plan to shorten the days of conflict, and resolving differences between these religious beliefs for a short period of relative peace. These religious beliefs will result in eventual war and the death of many people. These conflicts with outlying Arab countries who believe all Jews need to be killed, is and will cause great tribulations upon the Jews, as spoken by Jesus Christ, my Beloved Son in Joseph Smith Matthew 1:18-19.

In the next verse 20, it reads "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." We will shorten the seemingly inevitable conflict the radical Islamic peoples want to inflict upon the nation of Israel. The United States will decisively overpower and route out the current hostile regime in Iran, to allow a more moderate government to come to power. This will shorten the conflicts and diffuse for a time the inevitable wars in the future. Unless this were done, by our power and direction, Israel would be destroyed. It is by our mighty arm that we are shortening these conflicts, and allowing Israel to maintain and prosper.

Raphael, the overall purpose of reducing the time of regional and worldwide conflicts is to allow our elect in these countries to awaken and leave to Zion, the New Jerusalem. Were some of these countries destroyed, our elect would also be in great danger or be killed. We have different plans, for we will gather our elect, one by one, and bring them in time to Zion, located in the terrestrial realms of the United States of America.

The verse in Daniel 12:1 that you referenced above, ends with this phrase:

"and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book."

The book refers to the Book of Life, in a future recording of the names of our elect that will be written in the Book of Life by Oriphiel. This will happen once some of these elect are chosen to come into the Church of the Firstborn by Jesus Christ. You will administer to them the waters of separation, and they will become full members of that celestial church. To us, who see all things in the future, we see that the names of these elect will be written in that book, even the Book of Life. It is for these individuals that we are preserving the nations of the earth for a little longer, and shortening conflicts among them so that our elect might be awakened and removed to a safe garner."
(end of Heavenly Father's words)

I thanked my Heavenly Father for his beautiful words that enlightened my understanding so much! I expressed deep gratitude to be involved in a small degree in the gathering of the elect from the nations in these last days!
