On the morning of Saturday January 5, 2024, David was awoken around 4:30am and before falling back to sleep, he prayed, asking the Lord to teach him of His ways. He was then given a dream in which Raphael showed him an urim and thummim attached to a short wooden rod. In the dream, he was instructed on how to use the instrument. Upon awakening, he prayed to the Lord for understanding about the dream and was told to speak to Kristine, his wife. After doing so on the morning of January 6th, he prayed to the Lord for further light and knowledge about this tool. On January 8, 2024, he was given the following revelation.
- ¶ Question: Is there only one or only one type of urim and thummim?
- ¶ Answer: No, there have been many upon the earth: Adam and Eve were given an urim and thummim when they left the garden, and this was passed down to Enoch who took it with his city to the heavens when they were taken.
- Noah and Na’amah were commanded to make an urim and thummim called the tzohar, and was passed down to Abraham; and I did teach Abram how to use it, for his fathers had forgotten how to use it in their apostasy.
- And Moses and Zipporah were given an urim and thummim, and they did teach my Israel to make the urim and thummim for themselves, and were instructed on its uses:
- And Aaron the High Priest did place an urim and thummim in a pouch to be worn over the heart that it should sit between him and the breastplate;
- And so too did they make an urim and thummim for Miriam, the High Priestess, and these did rest upon her shoulders; the urim upon the right shoulder and thummim upon the left.
- ¶ And these are but a few of the urim and thummim given unto mankind, for I did give unto the brother of Jared also interpreters, being two stones; and these were a type of urim and thummim.
- And these were given unto my servant, Mosiah, that he too did seek light and truth from them.
- And these were connected to a chest plate that they should be near unto the heart of any I should give to wear them.
- And behold, Moroni did give these unto my servant Joseph Smith Jr., and he did wear them at times to translate the portions of the plates he was given to translate, even that which contained the Book of Lehi, the very pages that were taken and kept hidden from him.
- ¶ Question: What then of the brown seer stone, and seer stones in general, are these also a type of urim and thummim?
- ¶ Answer: A seer stone is a stone used to help the seer, and an urim and thummim is given to any that desire to know.
- I say unto thee: Any that are called to see may be given a seer stone, even as my servant Joseph was given stones to see and to interpret.
- And this the Latter Day Saints did call an urim and thummim, but Joseph’s brown stone was a seer stone and not an urim and thummim;
- Yet his seer stones he did use, and I did grant him power from on high, and this power came from me and not from any earthly powers.
- And the seer stones were as an urim, being gazelem, bringing light in the darkness, and as a thummim that they did give Joseph voice to speak my words unto the congregation;
- But a true urim and thummim, these do represent the bond between the heavens and the earth, even the unity of that which is above and that which is below, for they do speak unto the earth the wisdom of the Heavens.
- ¶ Question: Can anyone use a seer stone, how do they work?
- ¶ Answer: Behold, I have said before: I will prepare unto my servant gazelem, a stone, which shall shine forth in darkness unto light, that I may discover unto my people who serve me, that I may discover unto them the works of their brethren; yea, their secret works, their works of darkness, and their wickedness and abominations.
- And what then is this gazelem?
- ¶ Behold, I shall tell thee: Gazelem is my servant and gazelem is the stone, for the stone can do nothing of itself, and my servants will only do my works through my power; therefore, gazelem is both the servant and the seer stone.
- And even as I did say through my servant, Moses: And unto the seer shall be given the gazelem, which shall shine forth in darkness unto light; and any who are instructed to look into the stone, the same is a seer; for my gazelem is a bridge between the earth and the heavens.
- ¶ And what can a rock do without the seer? and what can the seer see without the power of my Spirit?
- Therefore, know this: The seer that uses the stone filled with my Spirit and my power is gazelem, and the stone too is gazelem, for there is life in all of my creation.
- And the stone and the seer may only work through the gifts of my power, and these gifts are given of my Holy Spirit.
- ¶ Question: Can anyone make a seer stone or an urim and thummim?
- ¶ Answer: The seer stone cannot be made, but might be awakened by the seer; and this after the seer is called and awakened in me.
- And I did teach the earth many of the secrets of her creation through my servants, Moses and Zipporah; therefore, study their words and ye shall learn of these, the seer stone and the gazelem.
- The urim and thummim may only be made and used by those I call to do so; some are called to be seers, and some prophets, and some apostles in my name.
- ¶ The urim is a stone of quartz, and the thummim of onyx.
- The urim and thummim I gave unto the brother of Jarod was made of translucent quartz for the right eye, and translucent onyx for the left.
- The urim and thummim made for the seed of Levi were of white quartz for the urim and black onyx for the thummim;
- And these are but two types of urim and thummim.
- ¶ And the urim and thummim are the manifestation and truth: urim is aleph or the alpha, thummim the tav or omega;
- Yet these are not in opposition of one another, for they do show my oneness: Hear O Israel: YHVH is your Elohim, YHVH is One;
- Therefore, the urim and thummim represent the oneness of the heavens and the earth, the Creator and His creation, the light penetrating the darkness, and the indivisible whole.
- ¶ Question: What is the relationship between the urim and thummim and the breastplates of the High Priest and High Priestess?
- ¶ Answer: These are given power by my hand through the urim and thummim.
- Behold, the stones and their rods: behold a son, he has heard my suffering; he will unite Israel, and Israel will praise YHVH; YHVH shall bring justice for Israel through the struggle of Israel; the fortune of YHVH is the blessing of Israel, and the reward of Israel; the Honor of Israel shall be the indication of Israel, and YHVH shall add to Israel, even the right hand of Israel.
- ¶ These stones, they do speak of me and of my love for my Israel; and in the hands of the High Priest, they do speak truth unto all my peoples by the power given of my Spirit.
- These stones, they do represent the rods to be cast when they that wish to know should cast their lots; and in them shall my people know, and be warned, and be comforted, and be blessed.
- And behold, it was by this casting of lots that mine apostle, Matthias was chosen, after Judas had left them.
- ¶ And on the breastplates of the High Priestess sits carnelian and onyx with a pearl between them; carnelian for redemption, onyx for truth, and pearl for wisdom:
- For behold, when the daughters of Israel were told of my salvation from the hands of Egypt, they did not seek a sign as did my sons, they heard my truth and in wisdom they did believe.
- And therefore, carnelian is a help unto women, and onyx a shield, and the pearl wisdom granted by faith unto all they that do believe.
- ¶ And this breastplate too is given power by my Spirit through that urim and thummim that does rest upon their shoulders.
- And together, the breastplate of judgment and breastplate of mercy become the tablet of truth, or the tablet of goral:
- For when the High Priest and the High Priestess do work as one in my name, to prepare the earth for the heavens and to bring the heavens to the earth, then they shall know by my Spirit what has been assigned, apported, and allotted unto my Israel.
- When the High Priest wears the breastplate, the urim and thummim is worn over the heart, for it is by thy heart that I, the Lord, do judge mankind;
- And when the High Priestess wears the breastplate, the urim and thummim is worn on the shoulders, for by your works shall the world know that you are mine.
- ¶ Question: In my dream, I was given a rod with the urim at the head and the thummim at the tail of a rod, what does this mean? am I to make or use this tool in your name?
- ¶ Answer: Should you make a rod with the urim and thummim or have such made for thee, even as in your dream, it shall only have power as all tools fashioned and used in my name, and that is power given unto the earth from upon high.
- I do seek to teach the earth of my mysteries, for they are mine, and I do give them freely unto all they that would learn of them.
- ¶ And behold, Satan doth teach the children of men of these things to corrupt them and to use them in pride, for their undoing.
- And I say unto thee: All that is necessary between thee and me is our covenant, made by your broken heart and contrite spirit;
- Yet in these last days, Satan shall and does move upon the whole face of the earth with his priestcraft to deceive even the very elect; and what does this mean?
- It doth mean that Satan will give signs unto the children of men that shall please their egos yet shall wound their pride, teaching mankind that they should not seek my mercy nor my face.
- ¶ What then of the urim and thummim and the seer stone, and the breastplates?
- These are symbols of truth and the power of my priesthood, and these tools work only through my righteousness; therefore, all they that seek my face, and seek to call all mankind unto teshuvah, unto such do I give my priesthood.
- And this that they might use these gifts to bring souls unto me, for the earth, she is mine, and all they that love me are given power to heal the earth.
- ¶ And all these things are given as signs and as tokens unto they that do believe, and all they that will believe in my name; for I am the Lord, YHVH, your Elohim, and I do watch over Israel, even unto this day.
- And I do give my outstretched hand unto all they that will take it, for salvation both spiritual and temporal; therefore, when you read these words, know that I do speak unto thee and unto all the world of things both spiritual and temporal.
- ¶ And all my words shall be fulfilled, and all my truths shall be known, from the beginning of days even until the end of days, for I am Alpha and Omega, Aleph-Tav.
- And you are mine, for I have called thy name, and you did hear me, and in this I am well pleased.
- Now, go and do, even all the works that I have called thee to be engaged in; for your works are mine, for I did give them unto thee, my good and faithful servant; even so, amen.
