Doctrine and Covenants D&C 88:95
"And there shall be silence in heaven for the space of half an hour; and immediately after shall the curtain of heaven be unfolded, as a scroll is unfolded after it is rolled up"
New Testament Revelation 8:1
"And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour."

Shared words: the space of half an hour

Divergences: 'for the space' against 'about the space', and the tense. The vision of Revelation attaches the silence to the opening of the seventh seal; the revelation attaches it to the unveiling of the Lord's face and carries no seal at that point. Registered at the 2026-08-11 editorial review.
