Book of Mormon 1 Nephi 22:13
"the blood of that great and abominable church, which is the whore of all the earth, shall turn upon their own heads; for they shall war among themselves, and the sword of their own hands shall fall upon their own heads"
New Testament Revelation 17:16
"the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire"

Offered to weigh. Both texts end the whore-figure not by an external stroke but by her own confederates turning on her: in 1 Nephi 22:13 the great and abominable church wars among itself and its own sword falls on its own head; in Revelation 17:16 the ten horns that carried her hate her and burn her. The structural correspondence is the self-destruction of the persecuting power. There is no distinctive shared wording — the verbal overlap is limited to the whore-figure itself — which is why this is registered as interpretive. 1 Nephi 14:15 supplies the external half of the same picture ('the wrath of God was poured out upon that great and abominable church'), and Revelation 17:17 attributes the horns' turning to God putting it in their hearts, so both texts hold the two causes together; the reading that these are the same two-cause structure is offered for the reader to weigh, not asserted. The corpus gives no account of the parallel; origin outside this wiki's scope. Class (c). asserted_by wiki.
