Joseph Smith—Matthew 1:29 · Mormon 8:30
This connection's citations are checked against the source text.
The mark sits beside every quote a connection carries. It reports one thing: those words were found in the frozen source text at the reference this page cites, allowing only typographic differences such as curly quotes, dash forms and spacing.
It is not a tier signal, and it is not a judgment about the connection. Where a card carries the Interpretive badge, the reading is still offered with its evidence for you to weigh — the mark speaks only to the citations.
The badges and the mark are separate signals: Textual and Interpretive name the kind of claim a connection makes, while the mark reports that the connection's citations were checked.
Last-days signs catalogue, offered to weigh. The Olivet discourse lists 'wars, and rumors of wars' (JS—M 1:28) and 'famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places' (1:29; cf. Matthew 24:6-7); Moroni prophesies the record will come in a day when 'there shall also be heard of wars, rumors of wars, and earthquakes in divers places' (Mormon 8:30) — the corpus's own last-days-signs catalogue. Shared anchor 'earthquakes in divers places.' What keeps this interpretive, not textual: distribution. That run (comma-variant included) stands at four corpus verses — JS—M 1:29, Matthew 24:7, Mark 13:8, Mormon 8:30 (verified by a search of the corpus) — so it is a shared apocalyptic idiom, not a distinctive pairing; the link rests on the co-occurring wars/earthquakes catalogue, not a unique phrase. The reading that Moroni echoes the Olivet catalogue is offered for weighing; origin of the shared idiom out of scope. asserted_by wiki.
