The revelation given by God in 2020 through Mauricio Artur Berger marked a turning point in the spiritual history of the last days. By declaring that all are accepted—without exception, including LGBT people—and that no one should deny their nature, the Lord opened a door that had remained closed for centuries by human traditions. This message echoes the ancient testimony of the 1611 King James Bible, when Peter acknowledged that “God shows no partiality, but in every nation the one who fears Him and does what is right is accepted by Him” (Acts 10:34–35, KJV 1611). The 2020 revelation does not create a new principle; rather, it restores and clarifies one that had been obscured: everyone has a place before God.
The Book of Mormon, translated by Joseph Smith in the 19th century, reinforces this universality of the divine invitation. Alma—a prophet in the Book of Mormon—teaches that God “invites all to come unto him and partake of his goodness; and rejects no one who comes unto him” (Alma 5; Book of Mormon, Joseph Smith translation). If God rejects no one, any rejection created by religion or society does not proceed from heaven. For many years, LGBT people were prevented from fully participating in religious life. Now, with the 2020 revelation, it is understood that Christ’s invitation has always been universal, and that no human characteristic places them beyond the reach of grace.
In the Doctrine and Covenants, which compiles revelations given to Joseph Smith in the 19th century, the Lord explains that the essential element for entering His presence is a “broken heart and a contrite spirit” (D&C 59). It doesn’t require cultural, social, or physical uniformity—it requires sincerity. The 2020 revelation makes this point unequivocal: do not deny your nature; draw near to Me in holiness and faithfulness. The emphasis is not on changing one’s identity, but on the consecration of one’s life. Faithfulness, honesty, and spiritual commitment remain the law for all, but now all can finally walk in the same light.
The Sealed Book of Mormon, translated by Maurício Artur Berger, repeatedly explains that the Lord’s final work in these latter days is to gather the pure in heart and liberate them from traditions that obscure the truth. This book emphasizes that God continues to reveal His will to correct paths and restore understanding. The 2020 revelation does exactly that: it heals old wounds and undoes theological misunderstandings that have prevented many from drawing closer to the covenant. Now, people who were previously marginalized can recognize themselves as part of the House of Israel, called to live the divine law with the same dignity and responsibility as any other disciple.
However, this inclusion also brings an essential truth: if all are accepted, all will be judged equally by the same law. Divine justice does not favor one group over another. Jesus Christ taught: “To whom much is given, much will be required” (Luke 12:48, KJV 1611). Until recently, many did not even have access to the gospel or the covenants because religious institutions excluded them before they could practice their faith. Now, with the door open and the call clarified, all bear the same spiritual responsibility: to live in holiness, honor commitments, nurture faithful relationships, and walk in truth.
This new phase does not establish spiritual privileges, but true equality before God. No group has a greater right to divine love, nor is any group exempt from divine discipline. Love and justice go hand in hand: love welcomes, justice guides; mercy embraces, the law purifies; inclusion opens the way, but faithfulness sustains it. God is calling every person—heterosexual or LGBT, single or married, strong or weak—to participate in His work, bear His name, and live His commandments. For the first time, many can do this without denying who they are and without being barred by human traditions.
