Doctrine and Covenants D&C 7:3
"because thou desirest this thou shalt tarry until I come in my glory, and shalt prophesy before nations, kindreds, tongues and people."
Book of Mormon 3 Nephi 28:7
"ye shall never taste of death; but ye shall live to behold all the doings of the Father unto the children of men, even until all things shall be fulfilled according to the will of the Father, when I shall come in my glory with the powers of heaven."

WEIGH THIS. The two grants share the terminus (the Lord's coming in glory), the address 'my beloved' for the same figure, and the ground — a desire to keep bringing souls. 3 Nephi 28:6 makes the identification of the desire itself ('ye have desired the thing which John, my beloved… desired of me'), which is a textual fact. What is offered to weigh is the further step: that the exchange narrated at D&C 7:1-3 IS the occasion 3 Nephi refers to. Neither text says so, and the shared wording is limited to 'my beloved' and 'come in my glory'. The Nephite side is hosted on three-nephites.md.
