Doctrine and Covenants D&C 1:16
"which waxeth old and shall perish in Babylon, even Babylon the great, which shall fall."
New Testament Revelation 18:2
"Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils"

Shared words: Babylon the great

'Babylon the great' stands at exactly three distinct frozen verses in the corpus: Revelation 17:5, Revelation 18:2, and D&C 1:16. The vision announces a fall already accomplished and doubles the verb; the revelation states one still to come and does not. What the name denotes in the revelation is given in the same verse and is not a city. The corpus's other doubled falling has a different subject and is not linked here.
