D&C 77:9 · Revelation 7:3
This connection's citations are checked against the source text.
The mark sits beside every quote a connection carries. It reports one thing: those words were found in the frozen source text at the reference this page cites, allowing only typographic differences such as curly quotes, dash forms and spacing.
It is not a tier signal, and it is not a judgment about the connection. Where a card carries the Interpretive badge, the reading is still offered with its evidence for you to weigh — the mark speaks only to the citations.
The badges and the mark are separate signals: Textual and Interpretive name the kind of claim a connection makes, while the mark reports that the connection's citations were checked.
Twenty-two consecutive words match, word for word and mark for mark, including the closing full stop: 'Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.' The run stands at exactly two distinct frozen verses in the corpus, these two, and this is the only place in the section where a sentence of the Revelation is reproduced rather than described. Divergences of setting: in the vision the cry belongs to an angel ascending from the east and is addressed to four angels to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea; in the section the four angels are the ones having the everlasting gospel, and the section identifies the crier as Elias, which the vision does not. The section names the second verse of the seventh chapter and quotes the third. Registered at the 2026-08-11 editorial review. Minted asserted_by: source at the 2026-08-10 editorial review.
