About Us

Shalom Shalom my friends. 

I want to start by saying that my true name is not Raphael, I use this pen name on this website as there are many influences in the world that I would choose not to, at this time, expose myself and my family to. I would like to say however that I am a Temple Worthy, Recommend holding member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I do not believe that anything that I teach here on these pages is in any way opposed to or in contradiction with the true teachings of that Church. I believe in all the Gospel as revealed by Joseph Smith Jr and restored by Jesus Christ. I believe in the Articles of Faith of the Church and will never disavow my belief in such things.

​

I also believe many things that have been revealed to me by the Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and through the words of Angels, Resurrected Perfected beings, and ofttimes, the whisperings of the Holy Spirit - the Ruach HaKodesh who is the one spoken of in John 14:26 - "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you."

​

I also believe that there is no condemnation by God for believing things that are not customarily believed or taught by the Mother Church or even one of the many offshoots of the LDS Church - Yes, I know that the church would prefer I use the full name of the church and not the short form acronym or the term Mormon, however, I am a Mormon, end of discussion.

“I believe all that God ever revealed, and I never hear of a man being damned for believing too much; but they are damned for unbelief.” Joseph Smith

​

So, why am I using the name Rabbai Raphael ben Yahweh? That is a great question. Let me explain:

Rabbi means teacher - and I have been called by our Father to be a teacher of Truth to the world, set apart as an Apostle, in like manner as was Paul, though I find that some take offense to my calling myself an apostle. I do not worry much about titles and feel that since Christ himself sufficed to be called Rabbi, it is the only title other than "Brother" that I would use in my ministry. 

​

Raphael is the name of an angel in the Book of 1 Enoch and the Book of Tobit, the name itself means "God has healed" - and my mission is to bring the healing of the Lord Yeshua to the people of the world who have been damaged by the churches and the people who claim to be true followers of God the Eternal Father, to heal the rift between the people and God's true church - I feel that the name is appropriate. 

​

In Hebrew, the affection of "ben" means "son of" and of course, Yahweh is the name of God that is commonly accepted to mean the one who is the Father of our spirits, so as such, I am the son of Yahweh or a son of God  (Romans 8:14: "For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God." [ESV]).

​

You are free to believe as you wish, and it is my greatest desire that the things I teach bring light and love to your soul so that you might find yourself seeking the face of God.

 John 14:21 "Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.” 

​

Psalm 27:8-9 "You have said, “Seek my face.” My heart says to you, “Your face, Lord, do I seek.” Hide not your face from me. Turn not your servant away in anger, O you who have been my help. Cast me not off; forsake me not, O God of my salvation!"

“May the Lord bless you and guard you.

May the Lord cause his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you.

May the Lord lift up his face to you and place upon you peace.” ~ (Numbers 6:24-27)
