"For after your testimony cometh the testimony of earthquakes, that shall cause groanings in the midst of her, and men shall fall upon the ground and shall not be able to stand. And also cometh the testimony of the voice of thunderings, and the voice of lightnings, and the voice of tempests, and the voice of the waves of the sea heaving themselves beyond their bounds." Doctrine and Covenants 88:89–90

“During the October 2005 semiannual general conference, President Gordon B. Hinckley said, referring to Doctrine and Covenants 88:89–91: ‘How interesting are descriptions of the tsunami and the recent hurricanes in terms of the language of this revelation.’ This painting, created in 2004, had been without a title until I heard the prophet’s words.”
