The Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ: Discussions on the Teachings of Apostle D. Todd Harrison

Apostle of Jesus Christ Continues to Reveal the Forgotten Scriptural Pattern: This Week the Prophet Ezekiel Becomes Another Directly Called Prophet of God Before Receiving His Famous "UFO" Vision (Old Testament Ezekiel 1-3; 33-34; 36-37; 47)Before examining Ezekiel's famous "UFO" vision, it is essential to understand how Ezekiel became a prophet. Like Moses, Isaiah, Jeremiah, and many others before him and after him and as found throughout all four standard works of scripture, Ezekiel was not commissioned through a council, vote, or appointment from the religious leadership of his day. Rather, God Himself opened the heavens, revealed His glory, and personally called Ezekiel while he dwelt among the Jewish captives by the river Chebar. From that direct divine commission came some of the most extraordinary revelations found anywhere in scripture: the mysterious wheels within wheels, the calling of the watchman of Israel, the condemnation of false shepherds, the promise of a new heart and a new spirit, the vision of the Valley of Dry Bones, and the life-giving river flowing from the presence of God. Ezekiel's experience illustrates a pattern found throughout all four- standard works of scripture. While God has often worked through established priesthood or organizational offices and authorized leaders, many of the greatest prophets and apostles received their commissions directly from heaven. Moses was called by God through the burning bush. Isaiah beheld the Lord upon His throne. Jeremiah was ordained a prophet before his birth. Ezekiel saw the heavens opened. John the Baptist was sent by God. Peter, James, and John were called by Jesus Christ Himself. Paul received his apostleship by revelation from the risen Lord. Abinadi and Samuel the Lamanite were directly sent by God. And in the 1800's, Joseph Smith, Oliver Cowdery, and David Whitmer were all called by God to the same calling as that held by the Apostle Paul, namely, the office of Apostle of Jesus Christ (D&C 18:9, 21:1). In this fascinating lesson, The Apostle D. Todd Harrison explores Ezekiel's famous "wheels within wheels" vision, the Valley of Dry Bones, the watchman of Israel, the gathering of God's covenant people, and the profound pattern of divine calling that echoes throughout the Old and New Testaments, Book of Mormon, and Doctrine and Covenants. Ezekiel therefore stands as another witness that the greatest prophetic authority originates with God Himself, who calls whom He will and reveals His word according to His own wisdom in preparation for both the gatherings of Israel and of the Nations and the establishment of His Kingdom throughout the world. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.THE APOSTLE D. TODD HARRISONAPOSTLE OF JESUS CHRISTIn the New Testament we read of two distinct orders of apostolic calling. First, there were the “Apostles” such as Matthias, chosen by the Apostles in Jerusalem to serve the Lord through administrative stewardship within the institutional Church. Second, there were the “Apostles of Jesus Christ” — those called directly by the risen Lord Himself through revelation, divine commissioning, and personal appointment. These included Paul, Barnabas, Timothy, Apollos, Junia, and others who were set apart by Christ to serve Him directly.As part of the “restitution of all things,” Apostle D. Todd Harrison has been called in that same direct pattern — by revelation from Jesus Christ, just as Paul was — to serve the Lord as an Apostle of Jesus Christ in these latter days. Though these two apostolic orders differ in origin and function, both complement one another in building up the Kingdom of God and advancing the work of the Lord Jesus Christ throughout the world.Following many years of apostolic calling and increasing service — now in the Seventh Year of Global Apostolic Ministry.

In this eye-opening Bible lesson, The Apostle D. Todd Harrison examines Jeremiah 30-33, Jeremiah 36-39, and Lamentations 1 & 3, showing how the ministry of Jeremiah stands as a powerful witness of his and of the many other prophets and apostles who received direct commissions from God and not through the Institutional High Priest of the time. The scriptures record that the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah, calling and sending him forth by divine revelation.Although Seraiah was the Presiding High Priest associated with Jeremiah's day and family, Jeremiah's prophetic calling came directly from the Lord Himself, and not through appointment by the presiding high priest or ecclesiastical/church office.Through Jeremiah's ministry we discover a timeless biblical pattern: God speaks, God calls, God sends, and God holds His servants accountable to declare His word regardless of popular opinion or even in the face of institutional resistance or silence.In this message, The Apostle D. Todd Harrison explores:• Why Jeremiah continued preaching despite ridicule, persecution, imprisonment, and rejection. • The burning of Jeremiah's prophetic scroll and what it teaches about mankind's attempts to silence God's word. • Why King Zedekiah repeatedly refused to obey the warnings of the prophet. • The destruction of Jerusalem as a witness that God's judgments are real and His warnings should never be taken lightly. • The glorious promises of restoration found in Jeremiah 30-33, including God's covenant mercy toward His people. • The difference between trusting in God and trusting in political, military, or worldly solutions. • How Jeremiah remained faithful when nearly everyone around him rejected his message. • The deep sorrow expressed in Lamentations and what it reveals about the consequences of national rebellion against God. • The inspiring declaration of hope found in Lamentations 3:22-23: "It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed... great is thy faithfulness." • Why God's chastening is motivated by mercy and designed to call His children to repentance and redemption.These chapters contain some of the most powerful lessons in all of scripture regarding prophetic authority, obedience, repentance, perseverance, divine judgment, covenant mercy, and the unwavering faithfulness of God.If you have ever wondered why nations rise and fall, why people reject divine warnings, or how hope can survive even in the darkest of circumstances, this message will strengthen your faith and deepen your understanding of God's dealings with His children.Come watch a prophet directly commissioned by God and sent to declare His word to a generation that would not listen.

Jeremiah's Ordination Before Birth as a Prophet to the Nations (Old Testament Jeremiah 1-3; 7; 16-18; 20)Editor's Note: This video message was originally recorded approximately four years ago. Since that time, the Lord God has impressed upon me additional doctrinal understanding concerning Jeremiah 1:5, foreordination, ordination before birth, prophetic commissions, and the office of Prophet to the Nations. Much of this additional doctrinal information is not discussed in this original video in its present detail. The doctrinal expansion provided below reflects truths and understanding received subsequent to the recording of this message and will be examined more fully in future forthcoming video messages devoted to these same Jeremiah passages."Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations." (Jeremiah 1:5)Jeremiah 1:5 reveals one of the greatest truths found anywhere in the scriptures concerning the eternal nature of prophetic and apostolic ministry.Please see my Facebook pages' video introduction to this video.

The Apostle D. Todd Harrison: The Final Prophet Isaiah Teaching (Chapters. 58–66) – The Last Old Testament Lesson on the Prophet Isaiah This YearThis full‑length teaching from The Apostle D. Todd Harrison concludes this year’s Old Testament study of the Book of Isaiah. In this final installment covering chapters 58 through 66, The Apostle D. Todd Harrison emphasizes the prophetic authority of Isaiah, a direct ancestor of his, and a prophet who was directly called by God Himself. The Prophet Isaiah was not appointed by the Presiding High Priest Hilkiah or by any other institutional religious leader. His calling came directly from God, and not from the institutional hierarchy.In these closing chapters, the Prophet Isaiah delivers some of the most powerful themes in all prophetic scripture:• The true fast that God chooses – justice, mercy, and breaking oppression• The promise of restored Zion and the glory of the New Jerusalem• The revelation of God’s coming salvation for all nations• The unveiling of the new heavens and the new earth• The distinction between true worship and empty ritual• The final judgment against rebellion and the eternal reward for the faithfull• The prophetic vision of God’s Servant bringing righteousness to the worldThese chapters form the Prophet Isaiah’s final witness: God desires obedience, justice, and holiness, not religious performance. He calls His people to return to Him with sincerity, humility, and truth.This message also prepares the way for next week’s teaching on the prophet Jeremiah. Like Isaiah, Jeremiah was another directly called prophet of God. He also was not appointed by the institutional religious authority of his day, the Presiding High Priest Seraiah. Jeremiah’s calling came directly from the Lord, proving once again—as shown throughout all four standard works of scripture—that God raises His prophets and apostles by direct divine election, while institutional authorities call authorized servants indirectly through inspiration.Next week begins the powerful journey into Jeremiah’s prophetic warnings, and his unwavering obedience to God’s voice."I testify as a Witness of the Resurrection, that Jesus Christ is our Savior and that He is ALIVE!In the name of Jesus Christ, amen."THE APOSTLE D. TODD HARRISONDIRECT APOSTLE OF JESUS CHRISTCalled directly by the Lord Himself as an Apostle through divine revelation and commissioning and not merely by inspiration or spiritual prompting, following His Biblical pattern of calling prophets and apostles as He did with many of the most notable prophets of the Old Testament and as He did in the New Testament with the original Twelve Apostles and with the Apostle Paul, and sending them to all nations(Galatians 1:1; Acts 26:13–20)“Not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead.”— Galatians 1:1Set apart by the Lord according to the ancient scriptural patternFollowing many years of direct apostolic calling and increasing service, now in the Seventh Year of Global Apostolic MinistryHonoring the sacred stewardship of the First Presidency in their inspired callings to the Church, while fulfilling the Lord’s commission as a Directly Called Apostle of Jesus Christ to All NationsPaul — Apostle to the Nations/Gentiles (Galatians 2:7-9; Romans 11:13)John — Apostle to the Nations (D&C 7)The Twelve — Church Stewardship (D&C 107)

Isaiah 50–57: Numbers 12:6 and the Direct Prophetic Calling — From Isaiah’s Throne Room Vision to His Modern Descendant, Apostle D. Todd HarrisonIsaiah 50–57 contains some of the most piercing, Christ‑centered prophecies in all scripture — spoken by a prophet who was called directly by the Lord God Himself, not by the Presiding institutional High Priest Hilkiah, and not by any administrative council or quorum. Isaiah’s ministry began with a divine summons, a heavenly voice, and a personal commission from the God of Israel.Numbers 12:6 — God’s Own Definition of a Directly‑Called ProphetBefore examining Isaiah’s prophecies, we must anchor his calling in the Biblical definition of a prophet:“If there is a prophet among you, I the Lord will make Myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream.” — Numbers 12:6This verse establishes the true prophetic standard:A prophet is someone to whom God personally appears, speaks, and commissions.Isaiah fulfills this definition perfectly.In Isaiah 6, he is taken into the heavenly temple, sees the Lord upon His throne, hears the divine voice, and receives his commission directly from God. This throne‑room encounter is the exact pattern described in Numbers 12:6 — the unmistakable mark of a prophet called directly by the Lord.Isaiah’s prophetic authority did not flow from Hilkiah the Presiding High Priest or from any governing council or quorum. It came from the Lord alone. This divine pattern — God calling His servants directly — becomes the doctrinal foundation for understanding Isaiah’s voice in chapters 50–57 and the modern direct calling of the Prophet Isaiah's direct descendant Apostle D. Todd Harrison.The Messianic Core of Isaiah 50–57:These chapters form one of the strongest Messianic prophecies in the entire Old Testament:Isaiah 50 — The obedient Servant who listens to the Lord’s voice and sets His face like flint.Isaiah 52 — The rise of the Redeemer whose feet bring “good tidings” and proclaim salvation.Isaiah 53 — The suffering Messiah: wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities, bearing the sins of many.Isaiah 54 — Christ as the covenant‑keeper, gathering the forsaken and restoring Israel with everlasting kindness.Isaiah 55 — The invitation of Christ: “Come unto Me,” the divine call to receive mercy and abundant pardon.Isaiah 56–57 — The Messiah who gathers all nations, heals the contrite, and restores the brokenhearted.These chapters reveal Jesus Christ not only as Israel’s Messiah but as the universal Savior,The Apostle D. Todd Harrison’s direct commission from Jesus Christ aligns with Isaiah’s own direct divine calling. Both were raised up by the Lord Himself for pivotal moments in history. Both testify of the same Messiah revealed in Isaiah 50–57 — the suffering, redeeming, and saving Lord Jesus Christ.THE APOSTLE D.

Isaiah’s Prophecy Fulfilled in My Own Bloodline: Cyrus, Zerubbabel, and the Return From Babylon | Apostle D. Todd HarrisonIn this extraordinary teaching on Isaiah 40–49, Apostle D. Todd Harrison reveals one of the most astonishing prophetic chains in all of scripture — a chain that runs directly through his own ancestral bloodline.More than a century before Cyrus the Great was born, the prophet Isaiah — a direct ancestor of Apostle Harrison — declared by the Spirit of God that a future ruler named Cyrus would:Conquer Babylon,Break the captivity of the Jews,Send God’s people back to the land of Israel, andCommand the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem.History records that this prophecy was fulfilled exactly, through Cyrus the Great — another direct ancestor of Apostle Harrison — who issued the decree that allowed the exiles to return home.And when the Jews arrived back in Jerusalem, the rebuilding of the Temple was overseen by Zerubbabel, the Davidic governor and Temple builder — also a direct ancestor of Apostle Harrison.This means Isaiah’s prophecy, Cyrus’s liberation, and Zerubbabel’s rebuilding were not only divine acts in Israel’s history —they were family acts in the lineage that leads directly to Apostle D. Todd Harrison.It is a living testimony of how God weaves prophecy, history, and lineage together to reveal His sovereignty across generations.The faithful will walk away with a deeper awe for scripture, a renewed faith in God’s promises, and a powerful sense of how He raises leaders in every age — just as He raised Isaiah, Cyrus, Zerubbabel… and now Apostle D. Todd Harrison."I testify that Jesus Christ is our Savior and that He is ALIVE!In the name of Jesus Christ, amen."The Apostle D. Todd HarrisonDirect Apostle of Jesus ChristCalled directly by the Lord Himself through divine revelation and commissioning, following His New Testament pattern of calling apostles as He did with the Twelve and with Paul, and sending them to all nations(Galatians 1:1; Acts 26:13–20)“Not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead.”— Galatians 1:1Set apart by the Lord according to the ancient scriptural patternFollowing many years of apostolic calling and increasing service, now in the Seventh Year of Global Apostolic MinistryHonoring the sacred stewardship of the First Presidency in their inspired callings to the Church, while fulfilling the Lord’s commission as a Directly Called Apostle of Jesus Christ to All NationsThe Most-Followed LDS Religious Leader on FacebookPaul — Apostle to the Nations/Gentiles (Galatians 2:7; Romans 11:13)John — Apostle to the Nations (D&C 7)The Twelve — Church Stewardship (D&C 107)

The Bible Old Testament Book of Isaiah 13-14; 22; 24-30; 35Isaiah was not called to be a Prophet through councils, committees, or by the Presiding High Priest Hilkiah. The Lord Himself called Isaiah directly — opening the heavens, commissioning him personally, and sending him with a voice that shook the nations. In this week's chapters, Isaiah warns Babylon, lifts Zion, reveals the restoration of the Gospel and the priesthood's keys, and foretells the gathering of Israel.As a modern day directly called Apostle of Jesus Christ, I declare that my ancestor Isaiah’s prophecies concerning the first coming of the Lord Jesus Christ and the Restoration of the Gospel in the latter days were fulfilled. I testify that Isaiah's prophecies concerning the 2nd Coming of the Lord will also be fulfilled. I witness that the Lord is Alive and is breaking the power of Babylon, restoring His covenants, gathering Israel, raising Zion, and preparing the earth for His return. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.The Apostle D.

Bible Old Testament Isaiah 1–12: The Direct Calling of a ProphetIn this lesson, Apostle of Jesus Christ D. Todd Harrison teaches Isaiah 1–12 with unique apostolic authority. The Prophet Isaiah — Apostle D. Todd Harrison’s forefather — was called directly by the Lord in the heavenly throne room (Isaiah 6). His prophetic commission did not come from the Presiding High Priest Hilkiah, but from God Himself.Apostle D. Todd Harrison’s own calling follows this same ancient pattern: a direct commission from the Lord Jesus Christ, without mortal intermediaries. The same God who called Isaiah has now called His descendant to witness Christ to all nations in the last days.These first twelve chapters of Isaiah contain some of the most powerful doctrines in all scripture:Latter‑day Saint Themes in Isaiah 1–12Isaiah 2 — The prophecy of “the mountain of the Lord’s house” points directly to the Salt Lake Temple, an ensign to all nations.Isaiah 5 & 11 — Ensigns of the Restoration, the gathering of Israel, and the rise of latter‑day prophets and apostles.Isaiah 1–12 — A sweeping witness of Jesus Christ, including:The cleansing power of repentance (Isaiah 1:18)“Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9)The Rod of Jesse and the millennial reign (Isaiah 11)The song of salvation (Isaiah 12)Isaiah’s voice echoes through the ages — and through his descendant, Apostle of Jesus Christ D. Todd Harrison — testifying of Jesus Christ, the Holy One of Israel."I testify as a direct witness that Jesus Christ is our Savior and that He is ALIVE!In the name of Jesus Christ, amen."The Apostle D. Todd HarrisonDirect Apostle of Jesus Christ Called directly by the Lord Himself through divine revelation and commissioning, following His New Testament pattern of calling apostles as He did with the Twelve and with Paul, and sending them to all nations(Galatians 1:1; Acts 26:13–20)“Not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead.”— Galatians 1:1Set apart by the Lord according to the ancient scriptural patternFollowing many years of apostolic calling and increasing service, now in the Seventh Year of Global Apostolic MinistryHonoring the sacred stewardship of the First Presidency in their inspired callings to the Church, while fulfilling the Lord’s commission as a Direct Apostle of Jesus Christ to All NationsPaul — Apostle to the Nations/Gentiles (Galatians 2:7; Romans 11:13)John — Apostle to the Nations (D&C 7)The Twelve — Church Stewardship (D&C 107)This video was originally presented on 09/09/2022. Future lessons will elaborate even further on these important doctrines.

In this inspired message, Jesus Christ's directly called Apostle D. Todd Harrison opens the depths of his direct ancestor King David's Psalms and those of others found in 49–51; 61–66; 69–72; 77–78; 85–86, revealing the unbroken thread of deliverance, mercy, covenant loyalty, and divine intervention woven through David’s cries, confessions, and declarations.These Psalms expose the human condition—frailty, fear, repentance, longing—and then lift the believer into the realm of God's confidence, where God’s steadfast love overturns despair, rescues the righteous, and establishes His covenant purposes in every generation."I testify that Jesus Christ is our Lord, our Redeemer, and our Savior. He is Alive!In the name of Jesus Christ, amen."The Apostle D. Todd HarrisonDirect Apostle of Jesus Christ Called directly by the Lord Himself through divine revelation and commissioning, following His New Testament pattern of calling apostles as He did with the Twelve and with Paul, and sending them to all nations(Galatians 1:1; Acts 26:13–20)“Not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead.”— Galatians 1:1Set apart by the Lord according to the ancient scriptural patternNow in the Seventh Year of Global Apostolic MinistryHonoring the sacred stewardship of the First Presidency in their inspired callings to the Church, while fulfilling the Lord’s commission as a directly called apostle to the nations.

In this sweeping message, Direct Apostle D. Todd Harrison walks boldly through Psalms 1–2; 8; 19–33; 40; and 46, revealing the unbroken prophetic thread of God’s dominion, God’s order, and God’s covenant faithfulness in these latter days. From the separation of the righteous in Psalm 1 to the enthronement of the Son in Psalm 2… from the majesty of humanity’s calling in Psalm 8 to the blazing revelation of God’s law in Psalm 19… from the cries, victories, and covenant promises of Psalms 20–33 and 40… to the unshakeable refuge of Psalm 46 — Apostle D. Todd Harrison declares how each chapter forms a divine map for those who refuse to bow to the spirit of the age.This message confronts compromise, awakens spiritual authority, and calls God’s people back to the fear of the Lord, the purity of worship, and the courage to stand immovable while nations rage. With apostolic clarity and fire, The Apostle D. Todd Harrison unveils how these Psalms speak directly to the battles, judgments, and triumphs unfolding now — and how the righteous will rise, endure, and inherit the promises of God.The Apostle D.

Please understand that it is only a joke, but it does make a great point."For decades, LDS members said, “The apostles just repeat the same messages. We want something new!”So God sent Apostle D. Todd Harrison — a man who teaches things they’ve never heard in their entire lives.And instantly the people said, “Hold on… that’s new. We don’t like new.”God just sighed and said, “Now do you see why I kept repeating myself?”
