Doctrine and Covenants D&C 36:8
"I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God; wherefore, gird up your loins and I will suddenly come to my temple."
Old Testament Malachi 3:1
"and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in:"

Shared words: suddenly come to

The divergence is person: the prophet speaks of the Lord in the third person and of his temple; the revelation speaks in the first person and of my temple. 'suddenly come to' stands at four frozen verses: these two, D&C 133:2, and 3 Nephi 24:17's chapter-mate 3 Nephi 24:1, where the Malachi text is given to the Nephites at the Father's command.
