5:39 a.m. Naomie's Testimony ofWhatHappened Through the Night

You arrived here last night at 8:45 p.m. Youimmediately dedicated both homes and thenwalked around the property and met everyone inthe Sunday School room and gave an hour andforty-five minute training -- a final warning to allofus here, the Lord's message, that we have beentaught and now the judgments are upon us. Butyou gave us such an encouragement. You said,"We can make it, everyone ofus can be Zion todayifwe will just do it. " After the training you walkedaround to see the houses. You came back to yourroom about 1:30 a.m. I could feel your greatanxiousness as you retired to bed. You made thecomment that everyone here didn't understandwhy you were here, that the final warning meansyou bind up the law.

That's right. I couldn't tell them everything.They aren't ready for it. Go ahead. We retired by2:00 a.m. in the morning.You were immediately taken right into the

heavenly session.It just has been happening all night.Yes it has. I couldfeel the fire flow ingfrom youvery strongly even before you retired. At 2:30 a.m.your body started to jolt and erk. At irst it wasn'treal severe outwardly. By 2:45 a.m. it was verysevere. It really hasn't lightened up ever sincethen. At 2:40 a.m. you said, "What the Lord issending me to do is more serious than peoplerealize, to bind up the law and seal up thetestimony against the halfhearted and traitors

among this people, to put a hedge ofprotectionaround those who are faithful and who can becomefaithful. And yet the Lord will take them throughsuch great experience. He will take all of usthrough such great experience. If we are notaware, i t will happen much sooner than we realize.We must be watching unto prayer through theSpirit, listening to the sweet whisperings andobeying them. "

At 2:45 a.m. your body jolted really hard. Youtrembled. Your body shook very, very severely. Ittwisted and jol ted and jerked and twisted. Yourhead and whole body seemed to just be wrenchedaround, thrashed about. There has been such apeaceful feeling here, especially since youdedicated this home. I know the Lord has beenhere through the night, father is here. And I knowthe other Prophets are watching so close what youare doing.

At 2:50 a.m. you said, "Oh, my. Oh, my. Whatis happening to me? The weight is so heavy. I haveso much work to do, if he Lord allows me to do it. "You said, "I will be giving the training to ValBarlow Jessop. He will be called to a place ofrefuge right away. He will be going to R17 as soonas he can." You said that you would also be takingcare of Marianne Roundy, that she would go toJoseph Johnson, Uncle Fred's son. You said youhave around ten marriages to perform and aboutthirty people to train. You said you would also begiving the training to Uncle Fred's wife Joy andthat she would also be going to R17, but that herand Aunt Rose would not be going until UncleFred went again and the First Presidency's homewas finished.

You said that you would be taking Carla andIda Lorraine, and Lori, that you would also begiving the training to Lori, that you would betaking Virginia, father's and David's wife, thatyou would give the training to Seth's wife Leona,but she would not be going for now. You said,"Everyone who receives this training, especiallythe ladies, and the men and the young men whowill receive the training too, must realize the testwill become stronger, that they are not to take thespirit of light-mindedness. They can only go tothese places of refuge i f they are totally andcompletely willing to sacrifice everything, to gowith the attitude that we are here to draw from theheavens Zion down to earth, that we are not justgoing to be handed Zion, but it must be within usand we must be Zion here and now." You said thatthe ladies of he men who were trained and alreadyhad an established place there could take theirladies whenever they felt they were ready to go.

You said you would also be giving the trainingto Edmund Barlow's wife DoraMae, that shewouldn't be goingyet either, but she had a missionRecord of President Warren Jeffs Page 145 Tuesday, June 15,2004

to help with the making of abric, spinning thecloth and weaving it, and also to help in themattress factory. You said there will yet be otherlaborers called. The Lord will have you give thetraining to this many now.At 3: 15 a.m. your body started to jerk and joltvery intensely and severely. It lasted for quite a

while, the severity of it. Your body jerked andthrashed. It was like it was being wrenched fromone side to the other. Your head kept twisting tothe right side. You acted like you could hardly getany breath, any air. At 3:30 a.m. you said, "Thereis such a dark, heavy feeling in this community,such a foreboding feeling. The Lord is waiting tosend forth His judgments and yet He will deliverthose who will come unto Him. The message is stillunto this people, "Return unto me, " and many ofthis people will not. "You said you would be doing your work todayand leaving, returning back to Page tonight, then

you would meet the motor home in the morningand go to 17. You said you would not be travelingin the motor home. You said, "I must get a car thatno one knows about, that no one has seen, one thathas enough power that it will be able to get awayquickly. It must be a car than not even the peopleon the lands ofrefuge know about." You said youwould get it through Western Precision's name.

At 4j 61.119. y ~ m s6IM, "This 1I'8ig.hs Em In8 S8heavy what the Lord will have me do and yet Irejoice to do His will. But I realize what thismeans, that those in my family who will notprepare and qualify, those who will not reach, i fthey are not careful they will become my enemy. Itwill be literally a sin now for us to not live in theincrease of he Spirit ofGod. "You said that you would perform the work ofsealing up the law and binding up the testimonyafter you did the training and before you did the

marriages. You said that you would have theBishop and his two counselors drive you aroundtoday, that you would not get out of he car to kickthe dust off our eet, but that you would do it in thecar because you would not be safe ifyou got out,you would drive around the community andwitness it and perform that work and offer thatprayer of delivering this community, the peoplewho would not come under the rule of he Kingdom

ofGod over to the judgments ofGod and place aseal ofprotection that the Lord would spare thosewho would become full-hearted that you would yetgather them in His time. You said you hoped tostart the first training by 10:00 0 'clock a.m. Yousaid you would go the Lord's pace.At 4:00 0 'clock a.m. your body again went into

a severe trembling session. It lasted until aboutten minutes after 4:00 a.m., the severity of t. Yousaid, "Something is happening to me. Somethingis happening." Your body twisted to one side, butyour head was jerked to the other side. Again itwas like you couldn't take a breath. The tremblingwas very, very severe, very intense. Andyet therewas such a peaceful sweetfeeling here. I couldfeelHeavenly Father here, father here. You went quietuntil 4:30 a.m.

At 4:30 a.m. you said, "The Lord wants me tohandle Albert Counsil before I leave today andalso Nephi Draper. That man is immoral and willnot be able to exalt his wife.

At 4:40 a.m. you said you needed to talk toEdmund today about the temple. You wanted himto draw up what the Lord had given you. You saidthat you would be taking your ladies that werenamed to R17, you would look at the projects,name where the First Presidency's home would bebuilt, you wouldn't be therefor long, that when youf'l8tHfAon8ti th8 n 8 ~ t tiln8 y 8 ~ 1 w8Hkl Bring t;18 IG,,tPresidency with you. You said that you would betaking Ruthie there to get a checkup from MotherSharon, but she would be going back to Rl . Yousaid you might leave her there until you returnedbecause the Lord might have you go a differentdirection or you would have someone else take herback to Rl . You would decide that later.

At 5:00 0 'clock a.m. your body hasn't reallystopped trembling since then. It didn't really gointo a severe outward session until you came to.You have been trembling constantly since then. At5: 15 a.m. you said, "It weighs on me so heavy.Some of hese men that could have done so muchgood have not repented. They still say they don'tknow why they have been handled." Then yousaid, very strongly, "They do know why and theywon't humble themselves. "

That's right. When a person says they don'tknow why they have been handled, that meansTuesday, June 15,2004 Page 146 Record of President Warren Jeffs

they don't have the gift of repentance. They areliving a lie, lying to themselves.At 5:20 a.m. you said, "It is marvelous what theLord is dOing, how He has had me do this workthroughout this nation. We are literally living onborrowed time now. The Lord is waiting. He willnot wait much longer. He must cut short His work,

but there will be a prepared people that all will notbe lost. I am yearning after the young people. I amyearning that they will not fall away, that theirparents will realize the seriousness of the times.There is much good in many of hese children, theyoung people. "You said you would also be giving the trainingto Richard Allred's son Jared, but he wouldn't begoing right away. Then you said, "Well, I betterwait to give it to him until the Lord will send him. "I don't think he is very old, probably only thirteen

or so. You said, "I have much work to do. Oh, theweight on me is so heavy, so heavy. Something ishappening to me. I am also atoningfor those whowill yet qualify, for this whole people." Then youwent quiet until you came to at 5: 35 a.m.Your body has been trembling so severely, andjerking so severely. When you jerked the wholebed would jolt as you jolted. I can feel theall-consuming fire flowing from you so strong.

You look so glorious, so heavenly. I pray we may1 J 2 J b 1- t J t c.... J '2 bflO, hom yoaacK,11U va; jUitY2 ~ V h t e Jtf)J7ert!lItthat your work will be accomplished according tothe Lord's time. It is 6:40 a.m.

6:51 a.m. Dictation CommentsTalking to Naomie

[Recording cuts in] ... knew a day of visitationwas upon us. This whole people knew that thejudgments ofGod would come upon us. I love thewill of God. To love God you must love His willand do it. I am so willing to atone for those whocan qualify who have been slow and haven'tearned deliverance yet. I yearn all this peoplewould qualify but they will not. And the reason theLord has His servants bind up the law and seal upthe testimony is to have the witness and ordinancesand trainings in place to justify Him in sending Hisjudgments and to deliver the faithful in the day ofjudgment. Otherwise the day of training wouldcontinue.

This world is so wicked, it has to be destroyed.We can see it. We know it, or else there would beno righteous left and the Lord's purposes wouldfail. But His purposes will not fail, so I will do it.The Lord helping me, I will do it. After thetrainings, I will be in my suit still. I want somedistilled water and towels and a pan. I will do thatwork in the office with you as scribe. I will do itjust like I did against the nation and the otherpeoples, in the same manner.

Naomie: Do you want white towels?Yes, if I can.Naomie: Shall I get them out offather s room?That's fine. I will be doing it for him. Youknow how father said, "We would knock out thelazy ones." Little did we realize that meant hisown family and my family too. You be strong.

You forgive. You love everyone as I do. Even in aday of severity many more will qualify. But yousee I can't take anybody to the lands of refugeunless the Lord names them. Whatever is His will,that is what I want to do.7:30 a.m. A RevelationGiven to President Warren S. JeffsAt His Home in Short CreekTuesday, June 15,2004

I am standingin my office in Short Creek, the north house, sentby the Lord to perform the ordinance of thewashing of feet against the ungodly andhalfhearted who will not repent among this people.I have just driven through most of this communitywith the Bishop and his counselors; and accordingto the Lord's command, I quietly kicked the dustott my feet and performed the ordmance of kIckmgthe dust off my feet and testifying against theungodly and halfhearted who will not repent in thiscommunity.

Ido this according to the commandment of God andask the Lord to ratify the same in the heavens,again as a witness against all those who fightagainst the work of God and the Priesthood andwho will yet fight against the work of God and the

Priesthood. I do this that the faithful will bepreserved and protected, by the authority of thePriesthood, and in the name ofJesus Christ, amen.Dedication Prayer After Washing Feet

o God the Eternal Father, thy servant, bearingthe holy Melchizedek Priesthood, comes beforeyou in the attitude of a prayer, arms to the square,having performed the ordinance of the washing offeet as a testimony against the ungodly amongyour Priesthood people and in this community ofShort Creek. And as you have sent thy servanthere to perform this work and to witness thy peopleand the spirit here, and remembering your promisethat there will be a people come forth from amongyour Priesthood people to redeem Zion, and youare now performing that great gathering, and as weare now facing the great day of judgment, and thejudgments ofGod are upon your Priesthood peopleand the halfhearted continue among your people,we now present before you the condition of thypeople, yearning for the faithful, forgiving all menand women, leaving judgment to you, Father.

We remember that a year ago last March yourevealed your mind and will to establish themissionary work for the purpose of binding up thelaw and sealing up the testimony against theungodly among your people. And that work hasnow been performed through each Bishop andtbeir ~ Q u g , i e l Q r i ag,Q tbQie Prieiti ag,Q T e a ~ b e r i Qfthe Aaronic Priesthood that have been sent forth,and a record has been kept. And behold yourpeople draw near to you with their lips and say theyare with your Priesthood and with thee, and yetyour judgment has had to be sent forth; and thispeople will not prepare, as a people. And to fulfillyour purposes, thy servant stands as a witnessagainst the ungodly and halfhearted who will notrepent, knowing they have had Priesthood and theProphets and the trainings and the gift of the HolyGhost and every gift needed to make the finalpreparation for Zion, and they would not. Andknowing that you must purge your people of allungodliness, and having performed this ordinanceof the washing of feet as a testimony against theungodly in the Short Creek Stake of Zion andamong your Priesthood people, wherever they are,in the authority of the holy Priesthood and by thekeys and powers thereof, we deliver thiscommunity over to the judgments of God, and ask



6/7

you, Heavenly Father, to remove the Spirit ofprotection from those who will not repent and whowill fight and are fighting against the Church andKingdom of God; and also in this prayer, in theauthority of the Priesthood, we dedicate the electand those who can qualify for Zion unto thee, thyprotection, thy increase, and that you will preservea people unto yourself who will be used in theredemption of Zion. And now bring forth theevents and the experiences your people must gothrough to fulfill your purposes on earth andestablish Zion in fulness.

And as you have rejected this place as thegathering place for your faithful ones and you areestablishing the lands of refuge, we dedicate thelands of refuge anew unto thee, and ask you to sendforth every gift and blessing to establish Zion infulness on those lands; and may your own presenceand the presence of the angels attend the faithful.And as you wean your people away from Babylonand allow the tribulations to come upon yoursaints, remember your promise, Father, to preservea people from among this Priesthood people to beused in the redemption of Zion. And as therighteous are driven from this community throughthe acts ofwicked men and women and the powersofthe evil one against us, and as the righteous willbe removed from this land and this place, wedeliver this community and the wicked whopersecute your saints over to me tSummngs Ofsatan in the authority of the Priesthood and over tothe judgments of God. We deliver thiscommunity, after the righteous are removed, overto be the beginning place of the whirlwindjudgments, and send forth your fire from heavenand the overflowing scourge and your otherjudgments upon this land, beginning at this place,for to a great degree this people have rejected theProphets, and thus thee.

Father we are concerned about the army ofZionthat dwells here. Bless the young people who canqualify to be preserved and even the babies andlittle ones, who can be preserved, to be lifted upand protected and placed in the care ofthe faithful.Do not allow your work to fail. Perform yourmighty work and judgment. Thy servant stands asa witness against the ungodly among this people,asking you to bring forth the fulness of Zion.Cause that there will be strength sent to the lands of

refuge in every way. But we know you must holdto your time and way, and you are a God of truth,and we know whether the righteous live or die,they will be part ofZion and part of thee.We dedicate the faithful of his family and thesehouseholds here on this property, where the family

of President Rulon Jeffs and of Warren Jeffsdwells, that the faithful will be preserved, thoughthey see trying times. And allow thy servant togather the faithful of this family and the faithfulfrom among your people. Allow thy servant totravel and to move and do, to gather the elect. Putyour Spirit of protection around those who arededicated unto thee.

Now send forth the experiences to bring aboutthe fulness ofZion. Wean this people away fromBabylon. Open doors of deliverance for thefaithful. And as the ungodly perform their wickedacts, remember your promises that you would sendforth your judgments upon the wicked to preservethe righteous. We leave this testimony and ask youto ratify the same in the heavens and perform yourwork.

Guide thy servant to be a witness and bless thishandmaiden, who is a helpmate in every way, to bepreserved and protected as witnesses of this deedagainst the wicked of this generation. You havesent us across this land, and we have witnessed the8 S ~ t i S R aRe evil aRe #le falleR w83's sf #liswicked generation, and none doeth goodthroughout this land. And now among yourPriesthood people, bring forth the final preparationand the fulness ofZion that your purposes will beaccomplished on the earth. We yearn for Zion andfor your presence and to qualify. Fill us with yourholy love. Forgive all those who can qualify. Holdnot back your work any longer. We are willing togo through whatever is required for the fulness ofZion to be established.

You have sent thy servant to this place toperform this ordinance work and this training ofgathering more of the elect. Hear thou this prayer,delivering the ungodly and the wicked in this placeover to the judgments ofGod, and placing the sealofprotection upon the faithful and the pure in heartand perform your miracles of deliverance in theday of trial and purging.

none to fall. We yearn that all will repent; but youare a God of truth and we know your purposesmust not fail and the time of the redemption ofZion is upon us.All glory to thee and thy will be done,performing this ordinance by the authority of theholy Priesthood and by the keys and powers

thereof. Will you ratify the same in the heavensand hear this dedication prayer and perform yourwork and a wonder in preserving your righteouspeople for the redemption of Zion and removingthe wicked from among thy people in fulness, andnow, Father, bring about the fulfillment of yourpromise, as the Prophet Moses declared ofthee, tobring about the entire separation of the righteousfrom the wicked and preserving your people forthe redemption of Zion in fulness. Do not allowthe halfhearted and the ungodly to destroy yourwork. Bring about your purposes, and as you havecommanded thy servant to let go of thehalfhearted, by this ordinance, this is performed,and our hearts are turned to thee and to Zion. Inyour time bring forth your judgments as awhirlwind upon this wicked nation and leave thewicked neither root nor branch.

We offer this as though it was a final testimonyagainst this wicked generation and the ungodlyamong your Priesthood people who will notrepent. Now bring about the events of thedissolution of this wicked nation and the nationson this land of America. And bring about thefulfillment of your promises to all your holyProphets, that Zion will arise and shine, and youwill dwell among your faithful people. Reveal tothy servant what to do next for the redemption ofZion. Preserve the elect and those who canqualify. We love you Heavenly Father, and weknow you are a God of love, and you havepromised that the obedient will be blessed and thewicked shall be cursed; and we leave the curse ofjudgment upon the wicked here and throughoutthis land, throughout this nation, delivering themover to the judgments of God in your time andway, all according to your will and power. Bringforth thy Zion in fulness.

We offer this prayer by authority of thePriesthood, saying thy will be done, wanting toplease you in all things, Father, and in the name ofJesus Christ, amen.
