3:14 a.m. Naomie's Testimony of What
Happened Through the Night
It was 10:25 p.m. the last timeI
got throughreporting to you. You were in your chair. You
got up and got readyfor bed and got into bed.
Sent Ida out.
Yes. I got ready for bed and came out of the
bathroom at about 10:45 p.m. I asked you where
you wanted me. You said, "Wherever you dare
get." I felt impressed to stay on the floor. I got a
blanket and just laid down. You went right
unconscious after that. First you said something
like, "It looks like I am going to have send
everyone back to Short Creek. "
That was before I went unconscious.
Yes. You went unconscious shortly after that.
At 11:00 0 'clock p.m. your body trembled. You
twisted over in the bed. It wasn't as severe as it
was in the chair. Then you went very still until
11 :30 p.m. You sat up on your elbow for aboutfive
minutes. As you were laying back down you said,
"Oh, my. Oh, my. What is happening to me? What
is ha enin to me?" Then ou said. "I am
yearningfor Zion, yearning to bring a people who
are trained and who are Zion that will come back
into the presence of God. " You sighed and
groaned again and said, "Is there no one? Is there
no one here? Is there no one among this people
that is prepared?" You groaned again and sighed.
Then you went very still again. It was like you
were being shown something. I am sure you are,
you were. I know you walk and talk with God. He
shows you the things He wants done.
Until midnight you were very quiet and still.Then you sat up on your elbow again. For about
twenty minutes you were like that, up on your
elbow. You said, "There is so much work to be
done here at this place and also at R17. Most of
the people are there. I am yearning the Lord to
show me what to do, how to establish that place,
how to train the people that they will believe. I can
see that having Merril Jessop there will be a great
strength to all the people, for he is very converted
to this. He recognizes the great weight that is upon
me. I need the Lord to handle his wife Carolyn,
remove her that he may put his full time and
attention into this project. He has the faith that it
will be done. He is seeking diligently to unite his
family." You laid back down. You said, "I don't
know what is going to happen qfter this weekend.
My heart is just yearning for this people. I must
make this correction. All the Prophets are
pressing me. The Lord is pressing me to do it, that
there will be a chance for those who will prepare.
There is much good among the people. For the
elect's sake I will go forward, though it weighs
upon me so heavily. I can see I must get the
members of his family away from here today and
take them to R17. Oh, what are we becoming
here? What is happening to us?" Then you went
very quiet again and still. It was 12:45 a.m. by
then.
At 1:00 0 'clock a.m. you again sat up on your
elbow. You kept saying, "Wow. Wow, what am I
seeing? This is amazing. This is amazing." Then
you laid back down after about ten minutes. Then
you said, "The Lord will prosper us at R17 if he
people will unite and join in fasting and prayer.
The Lord will soften the rock. He will blind the
eyes of he neighbors, make them forget what they
have seen. The laborers need to keep going, eat a
little, fast lightly and keep going. We will see what
e or oes or us. ewill prosper us. "
At 1: 30 a. m. you sighed and groaned that really
deep inward groan. You said, "Something is
happening to me. It feels like everything inside of
me is being ripped apart. Something is
happening. " At 1:40 a. m. you again sat up on your
elbow. You had taken the covers offof ou and told
me to turn off he heater. You said, "It is too hot in
here. " So I did. I turnedoff he heater. You stayed
sitting up for about a half hour, just up on oneelbow until 2:10 a.m. As you were laying down
you said, "Isee what must be done. Okay. Okay."
There was such a shining powerful brightness
surrounding you, surrounding this room. Again I
could feel father here so strong and I know there
were others here also with him showing you what
to do, telling you what to do.

At 2:15 a.m. you said, "Oh, I yearn for this
people even unto pain, great pain, unto great
suffering. ] am so willing to atone that there might
be a few among them that will prepare for the
blessing the Lord has in store." You said, "The
Lord has not given us an impossible job, but He
does require us to reach unto Him. I need to learn
to reach further. Maybe it isjust me.
Maybe it isme holding everyone back. "
I know you are ready, Warren. Ifwe were all
like you, it wouldalready be done. At 2:30 a.m you
said, "] marvel at the Lord's patience with us. His
arm of mercy is stretched out still. We better
hasten andprepare, fo r the time is too short. After
this correction is made, great things will start
happening among the people. The Lord will send
me forth to deliver the honest in heart. So I see
what must be done today. I will go forward and do
it, though I will be stopped on every hand. TheLord will prosper us ifwe seek unto Him. He is my
strength. He is my guide. It is Him I seek to please.
I must know that I please Him. There are many
things He is showing me I must do. Many men's
hearts are being revealed. He is showing me who I
can use and who I cannot use. "
At 2:40 a.m. you said, "I am just seeking to
know, seeking diligently to know what the Lord
will have me do, where He will have me stay in
Shoh Creek ufie;Salm

work there a couple ofmore times. "
At 2: 45 a. m. you sat up again on your elbow.
You sat there for a few minutes, just quiet. Then
you laid back down. Then you sat up again and
told me to go get you some bread and some aspirin.
I went out to get your bread and when I came back
in you were saying -- I didn't hear the first ofwhat
you said, but as I got closer to you, you were
saying, "The Lord is requiring me to make this
sacrifice of my family here. There is only a few
left." Last night you said you would be takingTammy and Margaret and the boys and Jen and
Joanne and Ora.
You said, "The First Presidency has had to
make the sacrifice of their family. I am yearning
unto the Lord that Uncle Fred can keep all of his
ladies that are here, that Wendell can too, that
none of hem will have to be sent away. The Lord
will reveal more to me as I accomplished the work
He has given me to do today." You said, "Wher
am I going to put them all there? That is th
question." Then after that you sat up on you
elbows. I gave you your bread and aspirin.
I know you know what we need, Warren, n
matter what we have to go through we are s
willing to do it. I know our tests are nothin
compared to what you are going through. Youtest is so much greater because your capacity is s
much greater. I rejoice in you and yearn to be
strength.

Revelation Given to President Warren S. JeffsAt His Home in Hildale, Utah

whithersoever you should go, an d prepare a
way for your escape from the enemies ofmy
work.
3. And though you will suffer at their
hands, yet I will be with you, an d nothing canstay my hand or hinder my purposes on the
earth.
4. I have sentyou to seekplaces o f efuge
A place ofrefuge is a place ofprotection that we
have to keep secret so that the wicked don't know
where we are to come and hurt us.
4. I have sent you to seekplaces of efuge
for my people, and for you my servant,
against the time of great persecutions and
sufferings, and I will open the way according
to yourjmm,jor me purchase a} these lands.
5. Seek unto me diligently, an d I will open
up the way for the monies to come into your
hands.
6. And these lands shall be mine, and
consecrated unto me as sacred places on
earth, for the faithful o fmy children.

alfhearted, and the complainers and the criticizers
ho won' t become Zion. He will only

9. And as the wicked come against you
and my people, which I the Lord will allow as
a test, and a purification ofmy people, even
so shall I preserve the faithful;
So the Lord will allow this great driving and
persecution to come. Most of it will come from
among our people as the halfhearted fall away and
don't support me. The faithful will be taken to a
place of refuge. The Lord gives more training
about the redemption ofZion. Then He talks about
the places of refuge. Can you hear me? Okay.

20. And thefaithful ofmy people shall yet
be gathered and shall dwell with me in Zion,
***21. And let my people who call
themselves after my name hasten to prepare
themselves, and seek unto me, their God, in
the day of scattering and gathering. And I
will be their shield and protector, for I will
preserve unto myself a people purifiedthrough tribulation.
22. Be ye clean that bear the vessels of he
Lord, that I may preserve and own and bless
you. I the Lord have spoken it. Even so,
amen.
So you see I am on the Lord's errand and doing
His will. Father is guiding this. The Lord is
guiding him and now many ofmy father's and my
family are moving to places of refuge where we
have bought the lands. The Lord had me travel
throughout the United States and now we are going
toward the East. Jackson County, Missouri is East.
We are not allowed to that place yet. We will be
scattered in different places in smaller groups to
these places of refuge and then on these places of
refuge, only the faithful people can go there. And
you must enter into a promise to live the United
Order, the Celestial Law in its fulness. And you
will only be allowed to live there if you keep
sweet, ifyou are prayerful and obedient.
After I moved some 0 tea les 0
place of refuge, they became light-minded. They
didn't say their prayers. The Lord had me warn
them. He was ready to send a scourge because
Heavenly F ather considers that we at these places
of refuge are the new Zion's Ccamp. And you
know what happened to Zion's Camp in Joseph
Smith's day. They didn't obey. They didn't live
the first two great commandments, and He sent a
scourge of the cholera where fourteen were taken
in death and sixty-eight were taken sick and almost
died.
After just a few weeks there, they thought they
would relax and not say their prayers and treated it
lightly, and the Lord told me He was ready to
scourge us and send a sickness where even some
would be taken in death, and He allowed me to
suffer for them and pray for them.
They were warned the next week and then two
weeks later again, until finally I had to send some
away or else they would have been scourged an
suffer. I actually have sent eight people back t
Short Creek after they came. And you saw some o
them after they came to stay with me. Some o
them are still there who were on the place o
refuge. So I am showing you that going her
doesn't mean you get to stay because if you ar
there, this is the most dangerous place fo
disobedient people. The Lord will scourge anyon
who doesn 't be obedient. And yet, this is the nex
step. And what the Lord wants us to do on thes
places of refuge is to build up Zion in its fulnes
and to go through a training and live togethe
where we have to share, where we work togethe
and work hard. And we who are on these places o
refuge, I am telling you now, we have the missio
to earn the presence of God and the angels wher
they will actually be among us. No lazy people ca
be there. No disobedient people can be thereThey will be sent away if they are disobedient o
lazy. They can go back to their homes in Sho
Creek or wherever. And even when the wicke
come against our people, only those the Lor
names to me will be brought to these places o
refuge. When you go there, you don' t call home o
a telephone. You don't go to stores in the towns
From now on, you are in hiding with me. And yo
are making a promise to be obedient and swee

hat is why when I have called all of you, and I

to the redemption ofZion.
The Lord and father have led me to these places
t we are buying and have bought. On these

get to be in a building effort. We get to clear the

me to have to take you back to
hort Creek do you? Now you know about the
of refuge. This is a far away place; so far
way you can 't run back to Short Creek real quick.
We transport you in the motor home because we
are very recognizable. People know of us. They
can see that we are different. So we carry our own
restroom with us in the motor home. I don' t own
that motor home but a man bought it and let me
have it. One of he faithful men in Short Creek. .So
there is going to be about twenty-three of you in
that motor home. Two days ago, three - le t ' s see,
last Friday, there were twenty-five of us in it. Soyou are not the first to experience this. Everybody
there has heard these revelations. Everybody has
been taught. Now you have been taught. So are
you all willing to enter into the full United Order?
and that means you are promising to live the first
two great commandments, loving the Lord with all
your heart, might, mind, and strength, thinking of
Heavenly Father, living to please Him every
minute and also to love your neighbor as yourself.
You are promising to live it every minute. Will
you do that Shirley?
Shirley: Yes.
And Teressa?
Teressa: Yes.
And Raymond?
Raymond: Yes!
And Sharon?
Sharon: Yes!
And little Samuel needs to be taught to bless
others because we are on the mission to redeem
and build up Zion. And Zion means God with us
and among the people. Ifyou don't have it in your
heart to earn the privilege of walking in the
presence of Heavenly Father in this life, you
shouldn't be here. You should just be back with
the halfhearted in Short Creek.
Raymond, Heavenly Father wants you to come
and work hard. Will you do it?
Raymond: Yes.
That means get up early. You will do school.
This place has lots of hard work for children, lots
of good hard work. I call it R17 because we don't
want to name the state we are in. If ever you do
write a letter to those in Short Creek you don't
name where we are at and you don't tell them what
it is like or what we are doing. We have a mobile
phone but you don't make calls. We need this

place protected because soon many of the
Priesthood people will fall away and persecute the
faithful. And if you reveal where we are at, you
will be a traitor to Priesthood and you could cause
the death of the innocent people on the place of
refuge. If you are a traitor, you will lose your
Priesthood blessings and be sent away. So you
have just left Short Creek never to return. Youmust be faithful. And we are looking to the Center
Place ofZion, Jackson County, Missouri. Do you
believe me?
Response: Yes.
Will you smile? Okay.
I want my boys to learn to be good clean
Priesthood men - think good, talk good, keep
sweet. Levi is allowed to be there but Mosiah and
Ammon aren't allowed yet. They need to get rid of
some of their bad habits. Did they see all of youleave?
Response: No. Everybody but Ammon and Roy
did.
So Josie saw you leave. Did she ask where you
were going? Okay. I sure hope she will become
more prayerful.
Now listen. There are two things you have to do
because people who don't do it are sent away.
ve to ra all the time. And number two,
they have to work hard.
The men who are here, they get up at 5 :00 a.m.
and they work past midnight. They have entered
into the United Order and they are building houses
hard and fast. The men are living in a separate
little area than my family. There is one house built
there already. It is a three bedroom home. And
Earnest Jessop is there with his family. That is two
ofmy sisters married to him, Elizabeth and Rhoda,
and also LeRoy's daughter, Janet. Mother Gloria
is there. Now Mother Ruth is coming with us inthis motor home.
We have two trailer houses. We have one of
them. It only has three bedrooms, a living room
and a kitchen. So we have three tents set up. We
are going to get more trailer houses. And then
Raymond Jessop's family lives in the other trailer
house. That is Mary and Maryanne and Rosemary
are there. Mother Nette is there. All the other
children are there. I now don't have any children
at the other places of refuge. I only have them
this one.
We are going to be building houses at differe
places ofrefuge. The work crew will work here f
a while and then they will move to another plac
and build houses. And we are starting to coloniz
and build and redeem Zion. These houses are lo
houses that we can build real quickly. The womeare not to go and work with the men. But the boy
will work with the men and the ladies. We a
going to plant orchards and gardens. We are goin
to plant wheat. We are going to raise our ow
food. We have already transported many sem
loads of goods from Short Creek. We have o
own storehouse there that, in the time of need an
when we don't have money, we will have som
food to last us until we can raise our own crops.
We are going to work to become self sufficie
to where we don't run to the stores for what w
need. And we are going through a training whe
we will learn how to bless one another, grow ou
own food, make our own clothes, so that when th
Lord destroys the wicked people off this land, w
will continue on and still be able to survive. And
is from these places of refuge where are scattere
around and the Lord protects us that we will be le
to the Center Place of Zion. So we are movin
partway east. We will prepare on these places o
. ion. Each of these placemust become Zion and then as the Lord destroy
the wicked people, we will go to the Center Stak
of Zion from these places of refuge. And that
how Zion will be redeemed.
The faithful will be driven from Short Creek
and Short Creek will become a very wicked place
Only the evil people will remain there. And the
the Lord will destroy that place because they wer
the people that had the light of the Priesthood -
they rejected it and they actually persecute thI
people.
Very soon the Lord will have me correct certa
men who think they hold Priesthood and they don
hold Priesthood. And four of those men the Lor
will have me correct I have named to the people o
the places of refuge and I have told them, "If yo
have anything to do with these men you are no
with Priesthood"; and they are Joseph I. Barlow
Dan Barlow Sr., Nephi Barlow, and Lois Barlow

These men don't hold Priesthood and yet they
think they do. So when I correct them, it is going to
create a test on the people: Will they believe me or
will they turn away? There is going to become a
great test in Short Creek so the Lord is opening up
the way by having these places of refuge, these
places of protection that the faithful will know to
go to as the Lord sends me to gather them up.
Only those the Lord names to me, even of my
own family will go to the places of refuge. I still
have over thirty of my family in Short Creek who
don't even know ofthese places of refuge, and they
will only be allowed there if they prepare and
become Zion. So you children and you my wife
Sharon must realize you have taken a step that you
cannot turn back on. Everything you have been
taught of how to help build Zion you must live
now. And you must pray for the training and then
you must live it, because if you tum back to yourlazy ways and you are not praying and your selfish
ways and feelings, you could bring the curse of
God upon you.
The Lord said this to me as He was about to
scourge the family members. He said:
Revelation Given to PresidentWarren S. JeffsAt His Place of Refuge
Thursday, October 23, 2003
5. And ifyou are not aware, wherein I
have offered you great blessings, and
through your unbelief and treating Ugh"y
these sacred promises and blessings, you will
receive the greatest ofcursings.
So to be on a place ofrefuge and disobedient the
Lord will either send you away, or else He will
start sending sickness and troubles and disease,
other things upon the people there if there is
disobedient people among us because now you are
promising to live the fulness of the United Order
and keep sacred things secret. So you need to stop
asking what you can have. You need to start
asking Heavenly Father, "What can I do to better toprepare to come into your presence? How can I
work harder? Teach me how to pray. How can I be
more obedient?" You have now taken a step up.
And yet it is going to be more training, more
testing, and I will send anyone away who will not
be obedient. They cannot stay there unless they do
right. Do you understand? Are you willing to do it
all of you?
I say on the record that everyone said they will
do right. I love you. I want you with me. My work
is to gather the faithful ones and bring them to the
places of refuge, teach and train them how to live
the fulness of the Celestial Law, the United Order
and bring them into the presence of God on these
places of refuge and then He will lead us back to
Zion, Jackson County, Missouri.
Do you remember that dream I told you in
meeting where I said we were moving the people
and I went from to house to house to tell them to let
go of their darling idols? It wasn't just a
symbolism, it was a reality. It is real. That dream
was what we are doing, we are moving the faithful
to places of refuge, only taking what we need and
we are building Zion.
Many wouldn't help me and I had to call on the
young men and that is what I am doing right now.
You see these young men I am using. Many of theolder men aren't prepared or wouldn't support me
and want to do it different. The Lord is in charge of
this. He reads your hearts. He will tell me what
you are doing, if you are qualifying. And you
might receive a warning or two. Be careful. Don't
treat lightly this great privilege. We are going on
to build up Zion. That is what we are doing now.
Okay everyone. You have heard the training.
Will you believe and obey?
Response: Yes.
11:57 a.m. Dictation
I experienced the heavenly sessions through the
night, was told by the Lord that I had to move more
of the family away from Rl to R17. I experienced
the severity of the session for several hours. I
came out of the session about 3 :00 a.m. and by
3 :30 a.m. I was calling people and telling people
what they were supposed to do that day. At Rl I
told Ora, Joanne, Tammy, Margaret, and Jen, all to
prepare, Margaret to get the boys ready, Jen to gether two children ready, Ora her twins, and load up
and we would be leaving soon. I found out the
motor home was at Shiprock, New Mexico, just at
a good place to wait for us. I also called Short
Creek and told Nephi and Rich to bring Millie and
baby, and Sharon and little Samuel, Caroline,
Lissa, and Kate, also Teresa, Shirley, and
Raymond -- as I counted there were twenty-three

family members coming from both Short Creekand R1 toward R17.
I sat with the family after we loaded up the
trailer to go, at R1, and read to them the revelation
of December 24, 2003, concerning certain menwho don't hold Priesthood, and that this next
Saturday I was to go to Short Creek and perform
that work. Also I discussed with them our missionto redeem Zion was to earn the revelations,
ordinances, and knowledge of how to come into
the presence ofGod. Besides the family members
present, there were Ben Johnson, Kendall's son,
Mike Emack, Benjamin Jeffs. Joshua Jeffs is the
only one on the place of refuge R1 that hasn't
heard the revelation at this time.
We loaded up and that left just four of the ladies
there -- Patricia, Ruthie, and Ida Vilate and also my
mother, Merilyn -- at our home at R1. I arranged
for Seth, Nephi, and Rich to bring the family from
Short Creek, meet David Allred with the motor
home. Ben Johnson and myself drove the family
members from R1 to the rendevous point. We met
all the vehicles together, north of Shiprock, New
Mexico, and transferred all the people into the
motor home and the luggage into the trailer.
I then had my daughter Shirley, my daughter
Teresa, my young son Raymond, and my wife
n Barlow Jeffs, et in the vehicle with me,
and I read to them and spoke to em a ou eplaces of refuge and our mission in the redemption
of Zion. They entered into the covenants of
keeping these things sacred and secret and entered
into the covenant of the United Order, as all are
required to do before they can go to a place of
refuge. I am now escorting the vehicles towa
R17.
Oh, before we left, I took Uncle Wendell an
walked down to Uncle Fred's cabin. The Lor
impressed to me to give the training to Unc
Fred's family before I left. Uncle Fred said th
prayer and I then read the revelation on these me
not holding Priesthood, dated December 24,200and also referred to another revelation of ou
mission atR1 to come into the presence ofGod an
redeem Zion in its fulness, placing them all on th
mission. And I told them that I was now removin
most of my family from R1 because they sti
needed to develop and earn the gift of faith like th
brother of Jared. So we continue on.
At Uncle Fred's, he and Uncle Wendell and a
the five ladies of Uncle Fred's willingly receive
the revelation, declared they upheld it and woul
abide the word of God. I told them they needed
be teachable, directable, and not bring their o
ways here and that the Lord was now going t
judge Uncle Fred's ladies to see if they we
allowed to stay there. I asked for their prayers, as
was going Saturday to make those correction
upon the people.
I am now escorting the family, twenty-thre
members, to R17, which will make a total o
fifty-three family members there, excludin
wives and children be raised up redeeming Zio
with constant fervent prayer and constant har
sweet work, knowing we are doing this to qualif
for Zion.
