Doctrine and Covenants D&C 45:37
"Ye look and behold the fig trees, and ye see them with your eyes, and ye say when they begin to shoot forth, and their leaves are yet tender, that summer is now nigh at hand"
New Testament Matthew 24:32
"Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:"

Shared words: that summer is

Divergences: the discourse has one tree and the revelation trees, plural; the discourse's 'ye know' is the revelation's 'ye say'; and the revelation adds a clause about seeing them with the eyes that the discourse does not carry. The revelation also reserves the word 'parable' for what precedes the figure, at D&C 45:36, where the discourse applies it to the fig tree itself. Registered at the 2026-08-11 editorial review.
