Doctrine and Covenants D&C 130:7
"But they reside in the presence of God, on a globe like a sea of glass and fire, where all things for their glory are manifest, past, present, and future, and are continually before the Lord."
New Testament Revelation 15:2
"And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God."

Shared words: a sea of glass

'sea of glass' stands at exactly four distinct frozen verses in the corpus: Revelation 4:6, Revelation 15:2, D&C 77:1, and D&C 130:7. Of the two visionary carriers only Revelation 15:2 joins the sea to fire, the pairing this verse carries, and it is paired for that reason; the other reads 'a sea of glass like unto crystal' (Revelation 4:6) — and 'like unto crystal' stands at exactly two distinct frozen verses, that one and D&C 130:9, two verses later. Divergences: the vision sees the sea and names who stands on it, this verse makes it the material of 'a globe' and names who resides there; the vision's 'mingled with fire' (a phrase standing at exactly one frozen verse in the corpus) reads simply 'and fire' here. The corpus's fourth carrier glosses the figure differently again — 'It is the earth, in its sanctified, immortal, and eternal state.' (D&C 77:1) — and is disclosed, not ranked.
