Doctrine and Covenants D&C 77:8

"A. We are to understand that they are four angels sent forth from God, to whom is given power over the four parts of the earth, to save life and to destroy"

New Testament Revelation 7:1

"I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth"

Shared words: of the earth

Divergence: the vision's angels stand on the four corners of the earth and the section's have power over the four parts of it. The vision gives them a holding action; the section gives them a two-sided commission, to save life and to destroy, and a further one the vision does not carry at all, the everlasting gospel to commit to every nation. The naming here matches the verse quoted. Registered at the 2026-08-11 editorial review. Minted asserted_by: source at the 2026-08-10 editorial review.
