The corresponding part of the chiasmus covering chapters 24-27 involves the destruction of Babylon. In contrast, this is about gathering and nurturing Zion. Zion is the garden that God nurtures.

A God’s victory in Heaven, the Great Sword (v. 1)

B The Lord’s vineyard, destined to fill the world (v. 2-6)

C The Lord’s dealings with his people (v. 7-11)

B The Lord’s harvest, gathered from all the world (v. 12)

A God call on earth, the Great Trumpet (v. 13)

This chapter is the center, or focus of the chiasmus covering chapters 24-27. It discusses the Second Coming, referring to it as a Feast. This chapter also is paraphrased in D&C 58:8-11, which ties this feast to also the Parable of the Wedding Feast (Matt 22:2-14, Luke 14:16-24).

The most important part of the structure here is:

Praise: Individual praise for Temporal salvation (v. 1-5)

Feast: God’s Richest Blessings (v. 6-8)

Praise: Communal Praise for Spiritual Salvation (v. 9-12)
