Alma 5:58 · Revelation 20:15
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 run 'written in the book of life' stands at exactly four verses in the corpus: Alma 5:58, Revelation 13:8, 17:8, 20:15. The book itself, 'book of life,' stands at twelve corpus verses (recounted 2026-08-10 at the D&C freeze): Alma 5:58, Philippians 4:3, seven Revelation verses (3:5, 13:8, 17:8, 20:12, 20:15, 21:27, 22:19), and three in the Doctrine and Covenants — 128:6 and 128:7, which quote and expound Revelation 20:12 by name, and 132:19, an independent use; Alma 5:58 is the Book of Mormon's only occurrence. Variants reported, not scored: all three Revelation occurrences of the run are negated ('not written,' 'not found written'), while Alma's is affirmative — the names of the righteous SHALL be written. The blotting half of the theme is carried in Alma at the preceding verse, 5:57, 'their names shall be blotted out,' and in Revelation at 3:5, 'I will not blot out his name out of the book of life'; that pair is NOT registered here, because 'blotted out' is widespread in the corpus (Alma 1:24, 6:3, Mosiah 1:12, 5:11, 26:36, Moroni 6:7, Acts 3:19, Isaiah 44:22, Nehemiah 4:5, Psalms 69:28, 109:13, 109:14) and Psalms 69:28 already reads 'blotted out of the book of the living'. The corpus gives no account of the parallel; origin outside this wiki's scope. Class (c). asserted_by wiki.
