Doctrine and Covenants D&C 65:2
"shall roll forth, until it has filled the whole earth."
Old Testament Daniel 2:35
"and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth."

Shared words: filled the whole earth

'filled the whole earth' stands at exactly two distinct frozen verses in the corpus, these two. In the dream the stone becomes a mountain and the mountain fills the earth; in the section it is the gospel that rolls forth to the ends of the earth 'as the stone', which makes the stone the section's simile rather than its subject. That grammatical difference is a textual fact rather than a reading. Registered at the 2026-08-11 editorial review.
