Doctrine and Covenants D&C 45:19
"that desolation shall come upon this generation as a thief in the night, and this people shall be destroyed and scattered among all nations."
New Testament 1 Thessalonians 5:2
"For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night."

Shared words: as a thief in the night

'as a thief in the night' stands at four distinct frozen verses in the corpus: 1 Thessalonians 5:2, 2 Peter 3:10, D&C 45:19, and D&C 106:4. What arrives that way differs: in all three of the others it is the day of the Lord, and here alone it is a desolation upon a generation. Registered at the 2026-08-11 editorial review.
