Three Plagues From the Visionaries
We know there are different types of plagues from the scriptures. Some are literal and some are spiritual.
This page is to separate out the plagues visionaries saw and why some of the descriptions are different from each other.
DOZ = Dreams of Zion VOG = Visions of Glory DOP = Dream of Plague (LDS Archives)

DOZ: Worldwide Pandemic will be the start of the pandemics. It will come in 3 waves. It will not be as deadly as the plagues to come.
Plague #1 - White blisters
Plague #2 - The Plague of Fear
Plague #3 - Ebola like symptoms
Desolating ScourgeThe Doctrine and Covenants, Section 45:30-32
30 And in that generation shall the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
31 And there shall be men standing in that generation, that shall not pass until they shall see an overflowing scourge; for a desolating sickness shall cover the land.
32 But my disciples shall stand in holy places, and shall not be moved; but among the wicked, men shall lift up their voices and curse God and die.
The Doctrine and Covenants, Section 5:18-19
18 And their testimony shall also go forth unto the condemnation of this generation if they harden their hearts against them;
19 For a desolating scourge shall go forth among the inhabitants of the earth, and shall continue to be poured out from time to time, if they repent not, until the earth is empty, and the inhabitants thereof are consumed away and utterly destroyed by the brightness of my coming.
The Doctrine and Covenants, Section 97:22-24
22 For behold, and lo, vengeance cometh speedily upon the ungodly as the whirlwind; and who shall escape it?
23 The Lord’s scourge shall pass over by night and by day, and the report thereof shall vex all people; yea, it shall not be stayed until the Lord come;
24 For the indignation of the Lord is kindled against their abominations and all their wicked works.
Conference Report, Marion G. Romney, APR:1951
A long time ago the Lord raised the curtain on the scene of destruction awaiting the inhabitants of the earth if they followed to the end the course they were then pursuing. More than a hundred years ago, he said that a desolating scourge should go forth among the inhabitants of the earth, and if they repented not, it should continue from time to time until the earth was empty and the inhabitants thereof utterly destroyed.
Conference Report, Melvin J. Ballard, June 1919
“For a desolating scourge shall go forth among the inhabitants of the earth, and shall continue to be poured out, from time to time, if they repent not, until the earth is empty, and the inhabitants thereof are consumed away and utterly destroyed by the brightness of my coming.” That is the word of the Lord. Now I do not understand that the plague of influenza shall continue until the Lord comes, but I do think that one form or another of chastisement shall follow, with its seasons for repentance, for the preaching of the gospel, and crying to the nations of the earth: “Will you now listen unto the Lord,” and if they shall not listen, then another affliction will come, until men shall either repent, or they shall perish. For these are the last days, the days preceding the coming of the Redeemer, and he will not come when the wicked stand and flourish. Reading again from the ninety-seventh section: “For the indignation of the Lord is kindled against their abominations and all their wicked works.” Now here is the answer for ourselves: “Nevertheless, Zion shall escape, if she observe to do all things whatsoever I have commanded her.”
Journal of Discourses, Brigham Young, Jr. 15:26
I refer to a revelation given in the year 1833, called the Word of Wisdom. We fail to obey it today, and we shall fail tomorrow unless we make a short turn and determine in our own minds that we will obey it. How many of us have disregarded that revelation, in every particular? It is to be found on page 240 of the Doctrine and Covenants, and it shadows to me that a time will come in the midst of this people when a desolating scourge will pass through our ranks, and the destroying angel will be in our midst as he was in Egypt when he slew all the firstborn of the Egyptians. God says “the destroying angel shall pass by” and shall not harm you if you will observe to do these things.
Journal of Discourses, Orson Pratt 12:65
For the Lord has said in this book, (the Book of Mormon) which has been published for thirty eight years, that if they will not repent He will throw down all their strongholds and cut off the cities of the land, and will execute vengeance and fury on the nation, even as upon the heathen, such as they have not heard. That He will send a desolating scourge on the land; that He will leave their cities desolate, without inhabitants.
• Revelation 16: 2 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshiped his image. Clue: This plague is AFTER the anti-Christ who gives them the Mark of the Beast, so the AC is starting to come to power shortly before this plague so Armageddon is not too distant from this plague. It is Plague #3.
• Rev 9:16,20 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths. 20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: (plagues are referred to as warfare killing 1/3).
• D&C 5:19 For a desolating scourge shall go forth among the inhabitants of the earth, and shall continue to be poured out from time to time, if they repent not, until the earth is empty, and the inhabitants thereof are consumed away and utterly destroyed by the brightness of my coming. Clue: There will be multiple plagues.
• D&C 45:31 And there shall be men standing in that generation, that shall not pass until they shall see an overflowing scourge; for a desolating sickness shall cover the land.
Clue: The third plague is the worst and worldwide. This is that plague. Millions will die. Only a "remnant" will survive.

DOZ: Worldwide Pandemic will be the start of the pandemics. It will come in 3 waves. It will not be as deadly as the plagues to come.
Plague #1 - White blisters
- DOZ - 3 plagues approximately 3 months apart, all are man-made.
- DOZ - 1st plague has white small pox blisters, ends when it reaches Indiana
- VOG (p.131) - About this time, the same plague that had devastated so much of the east arrived in Utah as it spread across the nation. As I said, we found out later that the plague was man-made, and the troops had been inoculated against the pathogen that caused the plague. When a person contracted the plague, they got many small pox marks on their skin similar to pimples.
- Hector Sosa – A Change is Coming “As I said earlier, this plague starts out like a cold, very similar to the Chikungunya virus infection. People have fevers, shakes, and are in a lot of pain. The skin eventually breaks out in blisters. This plague reminds me a lot of when I had chicken pox, only the blisters have a whiter and thicker pus.”
- Sarah Menet – There is No Death “The disease started with white blisters, some the size of a dime, appearing the hands, arms and face of the victims. The blisters quickly developed into white puffy sores. Those with the disease would stumble around and fall over dead. Many died within a short time, perhaps 24 hours.”
Plague #2 - The Plague of Fear
- DOZ - The name was given because people could not figure out why so many were dying. If you did not have the faith to be healed of something simple like a cold, you would die. Plague of fear. Diverse, unrelated, seemingly impossible to get illnesses. Virtually everyone gets something. Many suddenly realize that it might be the end. Righteous healed by faith. Most deaths are among the worldly. More than 50 million succumb. Total population of the US has been reduced by half at the end of this plague.
- DOZ - The first of three plagues is released when a comet hits the earth. It is identified by having blue skin with white spots. It will start on the east coast and will be recognized when it hits Indiana. It will travel northerly to the west coast, down the coast line to the southerly south. There will be 30 million who die.
There will be a 3 month break and plague #2 will break out. It will be a plague of fear. People will randomly develop diseases and if you have faith, you will live through it. Approx. 50 million will die. There will be a great silence for about 3 months.
Society will rapidly decay. It will be an era of extreme mistrust. - Suzanne Freeman - Saw the same name. “Fear was the main cause of the illness that plagued the nation… Entertaining fear invites illness, accidents, and troubles that we don’t have to have. Fear attracts and acts as a conductor for devastation, just as water is to electricity.”
- Patriarch Charles Evans - Thousands of bodies lay untombed in the streets. Men and women fell dead from the terror inspired from fear. Rest was but the precursor of the bloody work of the morrow.
Plague #3 - Ebola like symptoms
- Hector Sosa, A Change is Coming – “I saw that no age group was safe from the disease. The most noticeable aspect of this plague was that at the later stages, the veiny lesions were dark purple. There was a central nub in the skin from where tentacle-like lesions spread. These were quite noticeable on the top of the hands, cheeks, and forehead. The people who contracted it were very sickly and had a sheen of sweat across their bodies, as if they had a high fever.”
- Sarah Menet – “I also saw other people with a flu-like virus that spread more quickly than the first disease. The victims had blood coming from their nose, mouth, eyes, and ears. These people died even faster of this disease than the ones who had the first sickness. These diseases became wide-spread across the United States with hundreds of thousands infected.”
- President John Taylor - I was then in a dream, immediately in the city of Salt Lake, and wandering around in the streets and in all parts of the city, and on the doors of the houses I found badges of mourning and I could not find a house but was in mourning. ...I imagined next that I was in Washington and I found desolation there. The White House was empty and the Halls of Congress the same, and everything in ruins. The people seemed to have left the city and left it to take care of itself....I supposed this was the end; but it was not. I was given to understand the same horror was being enacted all over the country, east, west, north, and south. Few were left alive, still there were some.
- Dream of Plagues (LDS Church Archives) "Below this picture (poison falling from the sky) was the description: ‘A camp of the Saints who have gathered together and are living under the daily revelations of God, and are thus preserved from the plague.’ I understood from this that each family was in its tent during the hours of the day that the poison falls, and thus were preserved from breathing the deathly particles.” Clue: Looks like this 3rd plague is after a call out.
