Ether 13:9 · Revelation 21:1
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.
The singular formula 'a new heaven and a new earth' stands at exactly three verses in the corpus (recounted 2026-08-10 at the D&C freeze): Ether 13:9, Revelation 21:1, and D&C 29:23, which also carries the passing-away clause named below — 'the heaven and the earth shall be consumed and pass away, and there shall be a new heaven and a new earth'. The plural 'new heavens and a new earth' stands at Isaiah 65:17 and 2 Peter 3:13, and Isaiah 66:22 has 'the new heavens and the new earth' — so the singular form is not the plural's variant here; it is no longer confined to the two registered ends, however, D&C 29:23 carrying it too. Both attach a passing-away clause: Ether 'the old have passed away,' Revelation 'the first heaven and the first earth were passed away'. Reported without scoring: Ether adds 'all things have become new', matched not at Revelation 21:1 but at 21:5, 'Behold, I make all things new' (a comparable clause also stands at 2 Corinthians 5:17). The corpus gives no account of the parallel; origin outside this wiki's scope. Class (c). asserted_by wiki.
