Doctrine and Covenants 34 Lift up your voice

Orson Pratt wanted to know what the Lord wanted him to do. After traveling to Fayette, New York, he asked Joseph Smith to inquire of the Lord about his duty. The revelation was dictated on November 4, 1830, with John Whitmer writing it down. The Lord called Orson to preach repentance and prepare people for the Second Coming.

Doctrine and Covenants 34

  1. My son Orson, hearken and hear and behold what I, the Lord God, shall say unto you, even Jesus Christ your Redeemer;
  2. The light and the life of the world, a light which shineth in darkness and the darkness comprehendeth it not;
  3. Who so loved the world that he gave his own life, that as many as would believe might become the sons of God. Wherefore you are my son; (5 connected talks)
  4. And blessed are you because you have believed;
  5. And more blessed are you because you are called of me to preach my gospel— (1 connected talk)
  6. To lift up your voice as with the sound of a trump, both long and loud, and cry repentance unto a crooked and perverse generation, preparing the way of the Lord for his second coming. (3 connected talks)
  7. For behold, verily, verily, I say unto you, the time is soon at hand that I shall come in a cloud with power and great glory. (1 connected talk)
  8. And it shall be a great day at the time of my coming, for all nations shall tremble.
  9. But before that great day shall come, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon be turned into blood; and the stars shall refuse their shining, and some shall fall, and great destructions await the wicked.
  10. Wherefore, lift up your voice and spare not, for the Lord God hath spoken; therefore prophesy, and it shall be given by the power of the Holy Ghost.
  11. And if you are faithful, behold, I am with you until I come—
  12. And verily, verily, I say unto you, I come quickly. I am your Lord and your Redeemer. Even so. Amen.

How these connections are counted

Sources. Scripture text is the public-domain English text of the Doctrine and Covenants (sections 1–138). Section summaries, headings and questions are Weak Things’ own; the Church’s copyrighted headings and footnotes are not used. Joseph Smith Papers links point to the exact manuscript and printed pages. Connections come from the scripture links in every general conference talk from April 2000 through October 2026.

Distinct talks, not mentions. Each talk counts once per verse. Badges show whether the talk cites this exact verse or a passage that includes it, and whether the link is in a footnote or the talk text. Frequency is not a measure of doctrinal importance.

Your own words, their link. Summaries are Weak Things’ own. Talk text, Joseph Smith Papers images and transcriptions are not reproduced; every card links to the original. This independent study tool does not speak for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
