Book of Mormon Jacob 3:11
"to be cast into that lake of fire and brimstone which is the second death"
New Testament Revelation 21:8
"shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death"

Shared words: fire and brimstone which is the second death

The two texts identify the lake with the second death in the same relative clause. The exact run 'which is the second death' stands at three verses in the corpus — Jacob 3:11, Revelation 21:8, and D&C 63:17 (recounted 2026-08-10 at the D&C freeze). The two component terms now reach a third work as well: 'second death' at twelve verses — Jacob 3:11, Alma 12:16, 12:32, 13:30, Helaman 14:18, 14:19, Revelation 2:11, 20:6, 20:14, 21:8, D&C 63:17, 76:37; 'lake of fire' in any form at fourteen — nine Book of Mormon verses, Revelation 19:20, 20:10, 20:14, 20:15, and D&C 76:36. The exclusivity this record's distinctiveness rested on is therefore gone, and the recount understates the change: D&C 63:17 carries both of the diagnostics named here at once, reading 'which burneth with fire and brimstone, which is the second death' — Revelation 21:8's relative-clause construction together with its 'burneth' variant, in one verse. The shared-clause fact at the two registered ends is unchanged and stands as a textual fact; whether the pairing survives in its present form is a lane question, flagged rather than settled here. Variants reported, not scored: Jacob has the wicked cast into the lake, Revelation has them take their part in it; Jacob's lake is 'of fire and brimstone', Revelation's 'burneth with fire and brimstone'. (The bare phrase 'fire and brimstone' is wider — seventeen corpus verses, standing also at Psalms 11:6, Luke 17:29, Revelation 14:10, Ezekiel 38:22, D&C 63:17 and 76:36 — so the distinctive element was the lake, and the second-death gloss.) The corpus gives no account of the parallel; origin outside this wiki's scope. Class (c). asserted_by wiki.
