Doctrine and Covenants D&C 77:6

"Q. What are we to understand by the book which John saw, which was sealed on the back with seven seals? A. We are to understand that it contains the revealed will, mysteries, and the works of God"

New Testament Revelation 5:1

"And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals."

The exact run 'sealed with seven seals' stands at exactly one distinct frozen verse in the corpus, Revelation 5:1; the section's own wording interrupts it with 'on the back', so it is not a second carrier of the string, and that is why this record is a paraphrase rather than a shared phrase. The section then supplies a duration the vision does not state, seven thousand years, and assigns one thousand years to each seal at 77:7. Registered at the 2026-08-11 editorial review.
