Cross-Reference Analysis
Cross-Reference and Theme Analysis — Revelation, English → Indonesian
Purpose and Method
This document catalogs every Old Testament quotation and allusion, every messianic reference, every typological pattern, and every significant parallel to the baseline Romans curriculum, chapter by chapter across the whole of Revelation (1–22). Its purpose is to give Phase 2 translators and reviewers a single reference map for (a) where an Indonesian rendering must match an existing baseline (Romans) rendering exactly, and (b) where a shared source-text quotation between the two curricula requires a rendering-consistency rule so that a learner moving between the Romans and Revelation study materials encounters the same Indonesian wording for the same underlying Hebrew/Greek text.
Citation convention: All references in this document use the normalizable English-book-name, chapter:verse format (e.g., “Isaiah 11:10,” “Romans 15:12,” “Revelation 21:7”). Where an Indonesian Bible (Alkitab TB) reference is given for clarity, it follows in parentheses using LAI book-name conventions already established in the baseline (e.g., “Revelation 21:7 (Wahyu 21:7),” “Romans 15:12 (Roma 15:12)”). Phase 2 translation of the actual curriculum text must render every citation in the Indonesian-first format specified in the baseline’s Cross-Reference Preservation Rules (Roma 3:23 style), reserving this English-first format for internal Phase 1 analysis documents only.
Translation sensitivity ratings in this document reuse the four-tier baseline framework (Critical / High / Medium / Low) and, where relevant, flag “apocalyptic-literalism risk” as an additional qualifier alongside the tier.
PART A — Chapter-by-Chapter OT Quotation and Allusion Matrix
Chapter 1
| Passage | Theme | Related Character | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revelation 1:5 | Resurrection; Davidic Covenant | Jesus Christ | Psalm 89:27 (firstborn, highest of kings); parallels Romans 1:3-4 (Son of David, declared Son of God by resurrection) | High. Reuse kebangkitan, keturunan Daud exactly per baseline. |
| Revelation 1:6 | Kingdom Mission; Worship of the Lamb | Believers (corporate) | Exodus 19:6 (“a kingdom of priests”) | Medium. Reuse Kerajaan Allah root. |
| Revelation 1:7 | Return and Reign of Christ | Jesus Christ | Daniel 7:13 (coming with the clouds); Zechariah 12:10 (they will look on him whom they pierced) | High. Messianic; the Zechariah allusion has historically been read messianically in Christian tradition but not in Jewish or Islamic tradition — teaching note should anchor “the one they pierced” to the crucifixion, which Islamic theology denies occurred (Quran 4:157), directly engaging the Jesus/Yesus forbidden-substitution rule. |
| Revelation 1:8; 1:17-18 | Sovereignty of God; Deity of Christ | God; Jesus Christ | Isaiah 44:6; 41:4; 48:12 (“I am the first and the last”) | Critical. Divine self-designation applied to both the Father (1:8) and the risen Christ (1:17-18) — direct Deity of Christ assertion; reuse Alfa dan Omega per glossary, flag for theologian review. |
| Revelation 1:12-16 | Return and Reign of Christ; Symbolic and Apocalyptic Interpretation | Jesus Christ (glorified) | Daniel 7:9-14 (Ancient of Days/Son of Man imagery merged); Daniel 10:5-6; Ezekiel 1:26-28 | Medium (apocalyptic-literalism risk). Vision-imagery is symbolic description of glorified deity, not a literal physical portrait to be diagrammed. |
Chapters 2–3 (Letters to the Seven Churches)
| Passage | Theme | Related Character | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revelation 2:7 | New Heaven and New Earth; Assurance | The overcomer | Genesis 2:9; 3:22-24 (tree of life, guarded after the Fall) | Medium. Sets up the Genesis-Revelation inclusio developed fully at Revelation 22:2,14. |
| Revelation 2:17 | Perseverance; Worship of the Lamb | The overcomer | Exodus 16:31-35 (manna) | Low. |
| Revelation 2:26-27; 12:5; 19:15 | Return and Reign of Christ | Jesus Christ; the overcomer (derivatively) | Psalm 2:8-9 (messianic psalm: rule the nations with an iron scepter) | High. A single OT verse (Psalm 2:9) is quoted three times across Revelation (2:27, 12:5, 19:15) — internal rendering-consistency rule required (see Part C). |
| Revelation 2:28; 22:16 | Return and Reign of Christ; Messianic Promise | Jesus Christ | Numbers 24:17 (a star shall come out of Jacob) | High. “Morning star” title bookends the letters (2:28) and the whole book (22:16) — reuse identical Indonesian phrase both places. |
| Revelation 3:7 | Davidic Covenant; Sovereignty of God | Jesus Christ | Isaiah 22:22 (the key of the house of David) | High. Reuse keturunan Daud framing; “key of David” extends baseline Davidic Covenant doctrine. |
| Revelation 3:9 | Unity of Jews and Gentiles (contrast); Vindication of the Saints | The persecuted church at Philadelphia | Isaiah 60:14; 49:23 (nations bow before restored Zion) | High. Must be taught with the same anti-supersessionist caution flagged for the “synagogue of Satan” phrase (3:9) in the semantic analysis — a situational first-century rebuke, not a general doctrine about Jews. |
| Revelation 3:12 | New Heaven and New Earth; Church as Bride | The overcomer | Ezekiel 48:35 (“the LORD is there”); Isaiah 62:2 (a new name) | Medium. Anticipates Revelation 21:2. |
| Revelation 3:14 | Perseverance and Faithful Witness | Jesus Christ | Isaiah 65:16 (“the God of Amen,” so rendered in Hebrew idiom) | High. Reuse kesaksian framing; connects to the martys/syahid caution. |
| Revelation 3:19 | Sanctification | Jesus Christ; the church at Laodicea | Proverbs 3:11-12 (the LORD disciplines those he loves) | Low. |
Chapter 4

| Revelation 4:8 | Worship of the Lamb; Sovereignty of God | God the Father | Isaiah 6:3 (the Trisagion) | Medium. Reuse kudus. |
| Revelation 4:9-11 | Worship of the Lamb | The twenty-four elders | Psalm 96:6-9; 1 Chronicles 29:11 (ascriptions of worthiness/glory) | High. Establishes the axios (“worthy”) worship-refrain completed in chapter 5. |
Chapter 5
| Passage | Theme | Related Character | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revelation 5:5 | Messianic Promise; Davidic Covenant | Jesus Christ | Genesis 49:9-10 (Lion of Judah); Isaiah 11:1,10 (Root of David/Jesse) | Critical. Isaiah 11:10 is also quoted directly in Romans 15:12 (“the Root of Jesse… in him the Gentiles will hope”). Same OT verse anchors both curricula — see Part C rendering-consistency rule. |
| Revelation 5:9-10 | Worship of the Lamb; Kingdom Mission | The Lamb; the redeemed | Psalm 33:3; 96:1; 98:1 (“new song”); Exodus 19:6 (kingdom and priests) | High. Reuse Anak Domba, menebus per glossary. |
| Revelation 5:13 | Worship of the Lamb; Deity of Christ | Every creature | Daniel 7:14 (dominion given, all peoples serve him); Psalm 148 (universal praise) | Critical. Proskyneō directed at the Lamb alongside God the Father — flag for theologian review per glossary entry. |
Chapter 6
| Passage | Theme | Related Character | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revelation 6:2-8 | Sovereignty of God over History | Four horsemen | Zechariah 1:8-11; 6:1-8 (colored horses as agents of God’s judgment) | Medium (apocalyptic-literalism risk). |
| Revelation 6:9-10 | Judgment of the Wicked; Vindication of the Saints | Martyred souls | Genesis 4:10 (Abel’s blood crying out); Psalm 79:5; Zechariah 1:12 (“how long?”) | High. Reuse martys/syahid caution. |
| Revelation 6:12-14 | Judgment of the Wicked; Return and Reign of Christ | Cosmic signs | Joel 2:10,31; Isaiah 13:10; 34:4 | Medium (apocalyptic-literalism risk). Cosmic-collapse idiom is stock OT judgment-day imagery, not a literal astronomy claim. |
| Revelation 6:16 | Judgment of the Wicked | The wicked | Isaiah 2:19; Hosea 10:8 (hiding from the LORD’s wrath) | Low. |
Chapter 7
| Passage | Theme | Related Character | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revelation 7:1-3 | Sovereignty of God; Perseverance | Sealing angel; the 144,000 | Ezekiel 9:4 (mark on the foreheads of the faithful before judgment) | High (apocalyptic-literalism risk). |
| Revelation 7:9 | Unity of Jews and Gentiles; Worship of the Lamb | The great multitude | Leviticus 23:40 (palm branches, Feast of Booths) | Medium. |
| Revelation 7:14 | Judgment of the Wicked; Vindication of the Saints | The great multitude | Exodus 12 (Passover lamb typology); Isaiah 1:18 | High. “Washed… in the blood of the Lamb” paradox; reuse Anak Domba framing per glossary. |
| Revelation 7:16-17 | New Heaven and New Earth; Assurance | The great multitude; the Lamb as shepherd | Isaiah 49:10; Psalm 23:1-2; Ezekiel 34:23; Isaiah 25:8 (wipe away tears) | High. Directly anticipates Revelation 21:4 verbatim in theme — rendering-consistency rule required (see Part C). |
Chapter 8–9
| Passage | Theme | Related Character | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revelation 8:5 | Sovereignty of God over History | Angel at the altar | Exodus 19:16-18 (Sinai theophany: thunder, lightning, smoke) | Medium (apocalyptic-literalism risk). |
| Revelation 8:7-12 | Judgment of the Wicked | Trumpet angels | Exodus 7:20-21 (water to blood); 9:23-24 (hail and fire); 10:21-23 (darkness); 15:23 (bitter water at Marah) | High (apocalyptic-literalism risk). The trumpet judgments are a deliberate typological re-enactment of the Exodus plagues against a new “Egypt” (the world-system) — teaching materials should draw this connection explicitly rather than treating each plague as an isolated new event. |
| Revelation 9:1-11 | Judgment of the Wicked; Assurance of God’s Final Victory | Demonic locust army; Abaddon/Apollyon | Exodus 10:12-15 (locust plague); Joel 1:6; 2:4-5,25 | Medium-High (apocalyptic-literalism risk). Reuse daimonion caution regarding Indonesian folk-spiritual vocabulary. |
| Revelation 9:20-21 | Judgment of the Wicked | Unrepentant humanity | Psalm 115:4-7; Deuteronomy 4:28 (idol-polemic: idols that cannot see, hear, or act) | Medium. Reuse eidōlolatrēs caution regarding Indonesia’s religiously plural context. |
Chapter 10

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revelation 10:1-2 | Sovereignty of God over History | The mighty angel | Ezekiel 1:28 (rainbow radiance); Daniel 12:5-7 (angelic oath over the waters) | Medium (apocalyptic-literalism risk). |
| Revelation 10:6-7 | Symbolic and Apocalyptic Interpretation | The mighty angel | Amos 3:7 (God reveals his purposes to his servants the prophets) | Low. |
| Revelation 10:8-10 | Inspiration of Scripture (baseline extension); Perseverance | John | Ezekiel 2:8–3:3 (Ezekiel eats the scroll, sweet then bitter) | Medium. |
Chapter 11
| Passage | Theme | Related Character | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revelation 11:1-2 | Sovereignty of God over History | John, measuring angel | Ezekiel 40:3-5 (measuring rod); Zechariah 2:1-2 | Medium (apocalyptic-literalism risk). |
| Revelation 11:3-6 | Perseverance and Faithful Witness | The two witnesses | 1 Kings 17:1 (Elijah, no rain); Exodus 7:17-20 (Moses, water to blood); Malachi 4:5 (Elijah returning); Zechariah 4:2-3,11-14 (two olive trees/lampstands) | High. Reuse martys caution; these two figures model the Perseverance and Faithful Witness doctrine in miniature and should never be rendered with martyrdom-as-merit (syahid) framing. |
| Revelation 11:8 | Judgment of the Wicked; Symbolic Interpretation | (the great city, symbolically) | Genesis 19 (Sodom); Exodus (Egypt) | Medium (apocalyptic-literalism risk). A moral-typological identification, not a literal geographic claim about one city’s permanent identity. |
| Revelation 11:11-12 | Resurrection; Vindication of the Saints | The two witnesses | Ezekiel 37:10 (breath enters the slain); 2 Kings 2:11 (Elijah taken up) | High. Reuse kebangkitan root. |
| Revelation 11:15 | Return and Reign of Christ; Sovereignty of God over History | God; Christ | Daniel 2:44 (a kingdom that will never be destroyed); Exodus 15:18 (“the LORD will reign forever”); Psalm 2:2; Zechariah 14:9 | Critical. This is the book’s climactic thesis-level announcement, requiring the same verbatim cross-document consistency treatment as Romans 1:16-17/8:28/10:9-10. Reuse Kerajaan Allah, Tuhan, Mesias/Kristus exactly. |
| Revelation 11:18 | Judgment of the Wicked; Vindication of the Saints | The nations; the saints | Psalm 2:1-5 | Medium. |
Chapter 12
| Passage | Theme | Related Character | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revelation 12:1-2 | Church as Bride of Christ (typological anticipation); Sovereignty of God | The woman (symbolic — Israel/the messianic community) | Genesis 37:9-10 (Joseph’s dream); Isaiah 66:7-8 (Zion gives birth); Micah 4:10; 5:2-3 | Medium-High (apocalyptic-literalism risk). Symbolic corporate figure, not a claim about a single historical woman. |
| Revelation 12:3-4 | Assurance of God’s Final Victory over Evil | The dragon | Daniel 7:7-24 (composite beast imagery); Isaiah 27:1 (Leviathan) | High. |
| Revelation 12:5 | Messianic Promise; Return and Reign of Christ | The male child (Christ) | Psalm 2:9 (direct quotation, third occurrence in Revelation — see 2:27, 19:15) | High. See Part C rendering-consistency rule for Psalm 2:9. |
| Revelation 12:7-9 | Assurance of God’s Final Victory over Evil | Michael; the dragon/serpent/devil/Satan | Genesis 3:1,14-15 (the serpent, the enmity, the seed of the woman — the protoevangelium); Daniel 10:13,21; 12:1 (Michael) | Critical. Genesis 3:15 is the OT root of the entire dragon/serpent identification chain flagged Critical in the semantic analysis (Iblis/Setan collision). This is the earliest messianic promise of the seed who will crush the serpent, fulfilled climactically here. Requires theologian review connecting Genesis 3:15 typology to the diabolos/Iblis rendering caution. |
| Revelation 12:14 | Sovereignty of God over History; Perseverance | The woman | Exodus 19:4 (eagle’s wings, exodus deliverance imagery); Deuteronomy 32:11 | Medium. |
| Revelation 12:17 | Obedience of Faith (baseline extension) | The woman’s offspring (believers) | cf. Romans obedience-of-faith doctrine (“those who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus”) | High. Parallel, not identical, to baseline’s ketaatan iman; reuse that Indonesian phrase’s framing to prevent a legalistic misreading. |
Chapter 13
| Passage | Theme | Related Character | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revelation 13:1-2 | Judgment of the Wicked; Symbolic Interpretation | The beast from the sea | Daniel 7:2-7 (four beasts — lion, bear, leopard — combined into one composite beast) | Critical (apocalyptic-literalism risk). |
| Revelation 13:5 | Symbolic Interpretation; Sovereignty of God | The beast | Daniel 7:25 (“a time, times, and half a time”) | Medium-High (apocalyptic-literalism risk). |
| Revelation 13:7 | Judgment of the Wicked | The beast | Daniel 7:14 (dominion over every people, nation, and language — here counterfeited) | High. Deliberate ironic counterfeit of the authority given to the Son of Man in Daniel 7:14 and to Christ in Revelation 5, 11:15 — teaching note should make the parody explicit. |
| Revelation 13:11-15 | Judgment of the Wicked; Inspiration of Scripture (contrast) | The second beast/false prophet | Deuteronomy 13:1-3 (test for a prophet who performs signs but leads astray) | High. Reuse pseudoprophētēs caution. |

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revelation 15:3-4 | Worship of the Lamb; Sovereignty of God over History | The redeemed | Exodus 15:1-18 (Song of the Sea, direct typological pairing: “the song of Moses… and of the Lamb”); Psalm 111:2; 139:14; Deuteronomy 32:4; Jeremiah 10:7; Psalm 86:9 | High. The deliberate pairing “song of Moses and of the Lamb” is itself a compressed statement that the Exodus deliverance and the Lamb’s redemption are one continuous redemptive act — should be taught explicitly, not left as incidental worship-poetry. |
| Revelation 15:5-8 | Sovereignty of God over History | Temple filled with glory-smoke | Exodus 40:34-35; 1 Kings 8:10-11; Isaiah 6:4 | Medium. |

Euphrates) | High (apocalyptic-literalism risk). Same Exodus-plague typology as chapters 8–9, now intensified and final. |
| Revelation 16:15 | Perseverance; Return and Reign of Christ | Believers, warned to watch | Matthew 24:42-43 (NT parallel, not OT — watchfulness for the Lord’s coming) | Medium. |
| Revelation 16:16 | Assurance of God’s Final Victory over Evil | Hostile kings gathered | Judges 5:19; 2 Kings 23:29-30 (Megiddo as a historic battlefield) | Medium (apocalyptic-literalism risk). |

Deliberate negative counterpart to the Bride imagery of chapters 19, 21 — reuse Anak Domba and Bride-contrast framing from the glossary. |
| Revelation 17:12-14 | Return and Reign of Christ; Lordship of Christ (baseline extension) | Ten kings; the Lamb | Daniel 7:24 (ten horns/kings); Deuteronomy 10:17 (“God of gods, Lord of lords”) | Critical. Anticipates the Critical-risk title in 19:16. |

Reuse baseline’s pengudusan/separation-unto-God’s-service framing; must be taught as moral-spiritual separation from a corrupt system, not a call to withdraw from ordinary social or civic life in a pluralistic society. |
| Revelation 18:7-8 | Judgment of the Wicked | Babylon | Isaiah 47:7-9 (Babylon’s proud boast and sudden fall) | Medium. |
| Revelation 18:9-19 | Judgment of the Wicked | Kings, merchants, sailors | Ezekiel 26–27 (lament over Tyre) | Medium (apocalyptic-literalism risk). |

PART C — Cross-Curriculum Parallels to Romans and Rendering-Consistency Rules
The following table lists every identified point of direct textual, doctrinal, or lexical overlap between Revelation and the baseline Romans curriculum. Where the same Greek/Hebrew word, the same OT quotation, or a thesis-level statement is shared, a rendering-consistency rule is given that Phase 2 must apply without deviation.
| # | Revelation Passage | Romans Passage | Shared Element | Rendering-Consistency Rule |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Revelation 5:5; 22:16 | Romans 15:12 | Both quote Isaiah 11:10, “the Root of Jesse” / “Root of David” | Render Isaiah 11:10’s “root” language identically in both curricula: “Tunas/keturunan Daud” consistent with baseline’s keturunan_daud entry. Any Phase 2 rendering of Romans 15:12 must be checked against the Revelation rendering of 5:5/22:16 and vice versa. |
| 2 | Revelation 2:27; 12:5; 19:15 | (not directly quoted in Romans, but same messianic psalm underlies Romans’ Davidic-kingship theology) | Psalm 2:9, quoted three times within Revelation itself | Render “rule/ρήσσω with an iron scepter/rod” identically at all three Revelation occurrences: “memerintah dengan tongkat besi.” Internal consistency within Revelation is itself a rule, independent of Romans. |
| 3 | Revelation 21:6; 22:17 | Romans 3:24 | The identical Greek adverb δωρεάν (dōrean, “freely/without cost”) — Romans 3:24 “justified freely by his grace” and Revelation 21:6/22:17 “the water of life freely” | Render δωρεάν consistently across both curricula as “dengan cuma-cuma” (preferred) or “secara gratis,” and teach both occurrences as expressions of the same Grace doctrine: salvation/final satisfaction cannot be purchased or earned. Never substitute pahala-adjacent language in either passage. |
| 4 | Revelation 21:7 | Romans 8:14-17, 8:23 | Believers as God’s sons/children, full inheritance rights | Reuse baseline pengangkatan sebagai anak framing and the Bapa teaching note; explicitly distinguish believers’ derivative, adoptive sonship (Revelation 21:7, “he will be my son”) from Christ’s unique, eternal Sonship (Anak Allah), exactly as the baseline distinguishes them in Romans 8. |
| 5 | Revelation 19:16; 17:14 | Romans 10:9 | The confession/title of Christ’s exclusive Lordship (κύριος/Tuhan) | Reuse Tuhan exactly; apply the baseline’s “Yesus adalah Tuhan” verbatim-consistency rule as the theological anchor beneath the Critical-risk title “King of kings and Lord of lords.” |
| 6 | Revelation 2:27; 3:5,12; 21:7 (“ὁ νικῶν,” the overcomer) | Romans 8:37 (“ὑπερνικῶμεν,” hypernikōmen, “we are more than conquerors”) | Shared νικάω (nikaō) root — the same Greek verb family for “to conquer/overcome” | Note this shared root explicitly in teaching materials: Romans 8:37’s assurance that believers are “more than conquerors” through Christ’s love is the same victory-vocabulary Revelation develops at length through ho nikōn. Render the νικάω root consistently as “menang” in both curricula; the Revelation rendering “yang menang” (glossary High-risk entry) and any future Romans-curriculum rendering of 8:37 should share this root, with the militaristic-misreading caution applied to both. |
| 7 | Revelation 20:12-13; 22:12 | Romans 2:6 | Judgment “according to what he has done” (κατὰ τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ) | Render this phrase identically across curricula: “sesuai dengan apa yang telah diperbuatnya/perbuatannya.” Apply the same grace-works distinction teaching note the baseline requires for Romans 2:6 and Romans 3-4/11:5-6: works are the evidence of a life joined to Christ, examined and confirmed at judgment, never the ground of acceptance, which is by grace through faith and confirmed by inclusion in the book of life (Revelation 20:15). |
| 8 | Revelation 19:8 (“the righteous acts/righteousness of the saints,” fine linen) | Romans 3:21-26; 4:1-25 | δικαιοσύνη (dikaiosynē) / kebenaran applied to the saints’ conduct rather than their justified standing | Flag for theologian review: Revelation 19:8 must be taught as the visible fruit of a righteousness already credited by grace through faith (Romans 4, baseline imputed_righteousness), never as a second, deeds-based track to acceptance running alongside or instead of justification. |
| 9 | Revelation 21:1-5 | Romans 8:19-23 | Creation’s renewal/liberation — the whole created order, not only individual souls, is in view | Teach both passages together: Romans 8 describes creation’s present “groaning” in anticipation; Revelation 21 describes the fulfillment. Consistent Indonesian vocabulary: “ciptaan baru” / “langit yang baru dan bumi yang baru.” |
| 10 | Revelation 22:17 (“the Spirit and the Bride say, Come”) | Romans 8:26-27 (the Spirit’s groaning/intercession) | Both describe Spirit-prompted speech/longing, but of different kinds | Render distinctly: Romans 8:26-27 remains doa syafaat (Critical-risk intercession doctrine, per baseline); Revelation 22:17 is longing/invitation, rendered without the doa syafaat term, to prevent a Phase 2 translator collapsing the two into one concept. |
| 11 | Revelation 1:4-5; 22:21 | Romans 1:7; 16:20,24 | Epistolary grace-and-peace greeting/benediction convention | Render the greeting/benediction formula consistently: “anugerah dan damai sejahtera” (opening) / “anugerah … menyertai” (closing), reusing baseline anugerah and damai sejahtera exactly. |
| 12 | Revelation 21:8 (vice list, ἄπιστος “unbelieving”) | Romans 1:18–3:20 (universal human accountability); baseline faith/iman entry | ἄπιστος, the direct negation of πίστις/iman | Render “unbelieving” as “tidak percaya” and connect explicitly to the baseline’s Critical-risk iman doctrine: this is the negative counterpart of the faith that justifies, not a general judgment on irreligion apart from Christ specifically. |
| 13 | Revelation 1:3; 22:6-7 | Romans (general epistolary self-attestation, e.g. Romans 1:1-2) | Inspiration of Scripture claims about the text’s own origin and authority | Apply the same nabi/prophetic-inspiration caution the baseline requires for Romans 1:2, extended here to Revelation’s own self-description as prophecy (22:18-19). |
| 14 | Revelation 11:15 | Romans 1:16-17; 8:28; 10:9-10 | Thesis-level, verbatim-consistency-required verse | Add Revelation 11:15 and Revelation 22:20-21 to the baseline’s list of verses requiring identical rendering across every document in the curriculum, per the Theological Consistency Rules Across Documents already established for Romans. |
Coverage Confirmation
Every chapter of Revelation (1–22) has been reviewed for OT quotations, allusions, messianic references, and typology in Part A above. Chapters not independently tabled in the prior semantic analysis (8, 9, 15, 16, 18) are represented here because, while they introduced few new glossary terms, they carry substantial OT allusion density (the Exodus-plague typology of chapters 8–9 and 16; the Song of Moses/Song of the Lamb pairing in chapter 15; the Babylon lament tradition in chapter 18) directly relevant to Phase 2’s doctrinal and cross-reference accuracy. No chapter has been silently omitted.
This document should be read alongside 07_semantic_analysis.md and 08_core_glossary.md for full term-level detail, and cross-checked against the baseline translation_memory.json before any Phase 2 rendering decision affecting a shared Romans/Revelation term or citation.
