Cross-Reference Analysis
Cross-Reference Analysis — Revelation (Full Book) for Russian
Method and Governing Constraints
- This document extends, and never contradicts,
07_semantic_analysis.md,08_core_glossary.md, and the baseline Romanstranslation_memory.json/bible_term_registry.json/doctrine_risk_registry.json. Established Russian renderings documented there (Бог, Господь, Иисус, Христос, Агнец, святые, невеста, зверь, Вавилон, свидетели, откровение, побеждающий, вменённая праведность, etc.) are reused exactly and not re-derived here. - Citation normalization convention: every citation in this document uses the form
Book Chapter:Versein English (e.g. “Isaiah 65:17”, “Romans 8:28”, “Revelation 21:4”) so citations can be mechanically matched across all Phase 1 and Phase 2 artifacts regardless of destination language. Part F below maps each normalized book name to its required Russian Synodal citation abbreviation for use inside actual Phase 2 translated text (per the baseline’s Cross-Reference Preservation Rules). - Every chapter of Revelation (1–22) is covered below. A chapter is never silently skipped; where a chapter’s cross-references are sparse this is stated explicitly.
- “Type” column values: Quotation (verbatim or near-verbatim OT wording), Allusion (clear but non-verbatim reference), Typology (a person/event/institution functioning as a pattern fulfilled/escalated in Revelation), Structural Echo (a recurring form, e.g. covenant formula, throne-vision genre).
- Doctrine tags use the nine curriculum doctrines plus, where relevant, Romans-baseline doctrine names (for Part D cross-curriculum linkage) so Phase 2 reviewers can route segments consistently with the existing
doctrine_risk_registry.jsonreview tiers.
PART A — Chapter-by-Chapter OT/NT Cross-Reference Matrix
Chapter 1
| Revelation Passage | OT/NT Source | Type | Theme | Related Character | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revelation 1:1 | Daniel 2:28-29 | Allusion | Symbolic and Apocalyptic Interpretation | Daniel | ”things that must soon take place” — establishes Revelation as continuing Daniel’s disclosure-genre; render откровение consistently, not апокалипсис (see 07_semantic_analysis ch.1 note). |
| Revelation 1:4-5, 1:8 | Exodus 3:14; Isaiah 41:4; 44:6; 48:12 | Allusion | Sovereignty of God over History | — (God) | “who is, who was, who is to come” — must be exposited as an Exodus 3:14 (ὁ ὤν) echo; risk High per 07_semantic_analysis. |
| Revelation 1:5 | Psalm 89:27 | Allusion | Return and Reign of Christ | David (typologically) | “ruler of the kings of the earth” ties Christ to the Davidic covenant promise; use баseline Давид-family register. |
| Revelation 1:6 | Exodus 19:6 | Quotation-echo | Church as Bride of Christ / Worship of the Lamb | Israel (typologically) | “a kingdom and priests” — corporate, all-believer priesthood; guard against reading as an ordained clerical class only, echoing baseline’s “saints” corporate-not-elite caution. |
| Revelation 1:7 | Daniel 7:13; Zechariah 12:10 | Quotation (double) | Return and Reign of Christ | — | Two distinct OT texts fused; must be recognizable as such in exposition so readers see the Christ-as-Danielic-Son-of-Man AND Christ-as-the-pierced-one (Zechariah) are the same referent. |
| Revelation 1:12-16 | Daniel 7:9-10; 10:5-6; Ezekiel 1:24; 43:2 | Allusion (composite) | Sovereignty of God over History | — | Vision-description composited from multiple prophetic theophanies; do not flatten into generic “impressive vision” language — each detail carries a specific OT source. |
| Revelation 1:17-18 | Isaiah 41:4; 44:6 | Allusion | Assurance of God’s Final Victory over Evil | — | “I am the first and the last” — ties directly to Alpha/Omega (1:8, 21:6, 22:13); render consistently per baseline. |

| Revelation 2:12,16 | Isaiah 49:2 | Allusion | Judgment of the Wicked | — | “sword from his mouth” — Christ’s judicial word-authority, not literal weaponry; connects to Revelation 19:15. |
| Revelation 2:14 | Numbers 22-25; 31:16 | Typology | Perseverance and Faithful Witness | Balaam | Balaam as type of compromising false teaching within the covenant community. |
| Revelation 2:20 | 1 Kings 16:31; 2 Kings 9 | Typology | Perseverance and Faithful Witness | Jezebel | Jezebel as type of idolatry-promoting false teaching; note Russian Synodal numbering — see Part F (1 Kings = 3 Царств, 2 Kings = 4 Царств). |
| Revelation 2:26-27 | Psalm 2:8-9 | Quotation | Return and Reign of Christ | — | “rule the nations with a rod of iron” — recurs at Revelation 12:5, 19:15; must be rendered identically at all three occurrences. |
| Revelation 3:7 | Isaiah 22:22 | Quotation | Return and Reign of Christ | — | “key of David” — reuses baseline Давид proper-name form; messianic authority over access to God’s kingdom. |
| Revelation 3:9 | Isaiah 60:14 | Allusion | Unity of Jews and Gentiles (baseline sensitivity) | — | “bow down before your feet” — requires the same antisemitism-sensitivity handling the baseline mandates for Romans 9-11; refers to specific opponents, not Jewish people generally. |
| Revelation 3:12 | 1 Kings 7:21 | Typology | New Heaven and New Earth / Church as Bride of Christ | — | Solomon’s temple pillars as type of the overcomer’s permanent standing in the New Jerusalem. |

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revelation 6:1-8 | Zechariah 1:8-11; 6:1-8 | Allusion | Sovereignty of God over History | Zechariah’s horsemen | Four horses/horsemen imagery source; must not be treated as a Revelation-original invention divorced from its prophetic background. |

| Revelation 6:12-14 | Isaiah 13:10; 34:4; Joel 2:10,31; Ezekiel 32:7-8 | Quotation (composite) | Judgment of the Wicked | — | Cosmic-collapse “Day of the LORD” imagery drawn from multiple prophets; symbolic register (doctrine: Symbolic and Apocalyptic Interpretation), not literal astronomy. |
| Revelation 6:15-17 | Isaiah 2:10,19; Hosea 10:8 | Allusion | Judgment of the Wicked | — | “hide us from the wrath of the Lamb” — deliberately pairs Агнец (Lamb) with гнев (wrath), a striking and theologically important juxtaposition that must not be softened. |

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revelation 7:1-8 | Ezekiel 9:4 | Typology | Vindication of the Saints | — | God’s protective seal on the forehead of the faithful, prior to judgment — direct type/antitype with the beast’s mark (ch. 13); see baseline печать/начертание separation rule. |
| Revelation 7:9 | — (echoes Genesis 12:3; 15:5; 22:17) | Allusion | Universal Scope of the Gospel (baseline) | Abraham (typologically) | “a great multitude…from every nation” fulfills the Abrahamic promise of blessing to all nations. |
| Revelation 7:9-17 | Leviticus 23:40; Isaiah 49:10; Psalm 121:6; Isaiah 25:8 | Allusion (composite) | New Heaven and New Earth; Vindication of the Saints | — | Palm branches echo the Feast of Booths; “no more hunger/thirst/sun-strike” echoes Isaiah 49; Isaiah 25:8’s “wipe away tears” here is a first occurrence of the exact phrase completed at Revelation 21:4 — rendering must be identical at both places (see Part E). |

| Revelation 8:7-12 | Exodus 7-10; Joel 1-2 | Typology | Judgment of the Wicked | Moses, Pharaoh (typologically) | Trumpet plagues (hail/fire, sea to blood, water bitterness, darkened lights) directly pattern the Exodus plague-cycle; Egypt/Pharaoh functions as a type of Babylon/the beast throughout Revelation. |
| Revelation 8:11 | Jeremiah 9:15; 23:15 | Allusion | Judgment of the Wicked | — | “wormwood” (полынь) as bitter judgment-symbol, not a literal botanical claim (see 07_semantic_analysis note). |

| Revelation 10:4,7 | Daniel 12:4,9 | Allusion | Symbolic and Apocalyptic Interpretation | Daniel | Contrast: Daniel is told to seal up his prophecy; John is told not to seal his — a deliberate reversal signaling the time of fulfillment has arrived. |

| Revelation 13:1-2 | Daniel 7:2-7 | Typology (composite) | Judgment of the Wicked; Sovereignty of God over History | Daniel’s four beasts | The beast is explicitly a composite of Daniel’s lion/bear/leopard/ten-horned beast — Daniel’s succession-of-empires vision collapsed into one final embodiment. |

| Revelation 20:7-9 | Ezekiel 38-39 | Typology | Judgment of the Wicked | Gog, Magog | Final rebellion of the nations directly reapplies Ezekiel’s Gog-and-Magog oracle to the ultimate eschatological rebellion, not a specific ancient or modern nation. |

| Revelation 21:22-27 | Isaiah 60:1-3,19-20; Zechariah 14:7 | Quotation-echo | New Heaven and New Earth; Church as God’s People | — | “no need of sun…nations will walk by its light” — direct fulfillment of Isaiah’s light-to-the-nations oracle; universal-scope sensitivity applies (Part D). |
Chapter 22
| Revelation Passage | OT/NT Source | Type | Theme | Related Character | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revelation 22:1-2 | Ezekiel 47:1-12; Genesis 2:9-10 | Typology | New Heaven and New Earth | Ezekiel, Adam/Eve | River of life and tree of life directly complete both the Edenic garden (Genesis 2) and Ezekiel’s temple-river vision — the definitive Genesis-to-Revelation canonical bracket. |
| Revelation 22:3 | Genesis 3:17-19; Zechariah 14:11 | Quotation-echo | New Heaven and New Earth | Adam (typologically) | “no longer any curse” — the formal, final undoing of the Genesis 3 curse; central doctrinal anchor-verse. |
| Revelation 22:5 | Daniel 7:18,27 | Quotation-echo | Return and Reign of Christ | Daniel’s “saints of the Most High" | "they will reign forever and ever” — direct fulfillment of Daniel 7’s promise of an everlasting kingdom given to the saints. |
| Revelation 22:16 | Numbers 24:17; Isaiah 11:1,10 | Quotation/Messianic | Return and Reign of Christ | Balaam’s oracle; Jesse | ”morning star” and “Root of David” reunite two distinct messianic-promise traditions (Balaam’s star-oracle and Isaiah’s Davidic-root oracle) in a single closing self-identification of Christ. |
| Revelation 22:17 | Isaiah 55:1 | Allusion | New Heaven and New Earth | — | Repeats 21:6; render identically. |
| Revelation 22:18-19 | Deuteronomy 4:2; 12:32 | Quotation-echo (canon-closing formula) | Symbolic and Apocalyptic Interpretation | Moses | ”do not add to or take away from” — a deliberate reuse of the Torah’s own canon-integrity formula, marking Revelation (and thereby the whole Christian canon) as closed, authoritative Scripture. |
PART B — Messianic References Summary
| Messianic Title/Text (Revelation) | OT Source | Doctrine | Related Romans-Baseline Term | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lion of the tribe of Judah (5:5) | Genesis 49:9-10 | Messianic Promise | Мессия, Христос | Foundational tribal-kingship prophecy; low risk. |
| Root of David / offspring of David (5:5; 22:16) | Isaiah 11:1,10 | Davidic Covenant; Messianic Promise | от семени Давидова (baseline) | Reinforces the human/divine paradox already flagged in the Romans baseline’s seed_of_david note — Christ is both David’s root (source) and shoot (descendant). |
| Morning star (2:28; 22:16) | Numbers 24:17 | Messianic Promise | — | Balaam’s star-oracle; distinguish from astrological “star” reading (baseline prophecy/horoscope caution). |
| Alpha and Omega / First and Last (1:8,17; 21:6; 22:13) | Isaiah 41:4; 44:6; 48:12 | Sovereignty of God over History; Deity of Christ (baseline) | — | Applied to both God (1:8) and Christ (22:13) — a deliberate, doctrinally significant identification of Christ with YHWH’s own self-description. |
| Faithful and True (3:14; 19:11; 21:5) | Isaiah 65:16 | Return and Reign of Christ | вера (baseline root) | Must render identically at all three occurrences (see 07/08). |
| Son of Man figure (1:13; 14:14) | Daniel 7:13 | Return and Reign of Christ | Сын Божий (baseline, related but distinct title) | Daniel’s “one like a son of man” — the primary OT title behind Jesus’ own self-designation throughout the Gospels; Revelation’s use closes the canonical arc. |
| King of kings and Lord of lords (17:14; 19:16) | Deuteronomy 10:17; Daniel 2:47 | Return and Reign of Christ; Sovereignty of God over History | Господь (baseline, High risk) | Reuses baseline lordship_of_christ doctrine note on restoring personal force against liturgical flattening. |
| Rider on the white horse / Divine Warrior (19:11-16) | Isaiah 63:1-6; Psalm 2:9 | Return and Reign of Christ; Judgment of the Wicked | — | Composite fulfillment of two distinct messianic-warrior traditions. |
| Lamb (throughout) | Isaiah 53:7; Exodus 12 | Worship of the Lamb | Агнец Божий (implicit in Orthodox/Protestant hymnody) | See Part C typology entry; the suffering-servant and Passover-lamb traditions converge in a single title. |
PART C — Typological Correspondences
| Type (OT) | Antitype (Revelation) | Doctrine | Notes / Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Passover lamb (Exodus 12) | The slain Lamb, Agнец (ch. 5 and throughout) | Worship of the Lamb | Must be exposited with reference to Exodus 12’s deliverance-through-substitutionary-blood pattern, not left as a generic sacrificial-animal image. |
| Exodus plagues (Exodus 7-11) | Trumpet and bowl judgments (chs. 8-9, 16) | Judgment of the Wicked; Sovereignty of God over History | Egypt/Pharaoh is the controlling OT type for Babylon/the beast throughout the book — this typological identity should be made explicit in exposition, not left implicit. |
| Sinai theophany (Exodus 19) | Throne-room theophanies (4:5; 8:5; 11:19; 16:18) | Sovereignty of God over History | Each recurrence signals an escalating covenant-disclosure moment. |
| The wilderness generation / Israel (Exodus-Numbers) | The woman in the wilderness (12:6,14); the 144,000 (7:4-8; 14:1-5) | Church as God’s People; Perseverance and Faithful Witness | Israel’s wilderness-testing period functions as a type for the church’s present persecution-period existence. |
| Moses and Elijah (Exodus 7; 1 Kings 17) | The two witnesses (11:3-13) | Perseverance and Faithful Witness | Direct, explicit power-parallels (blood, no rain); a strong preaching/teaching asset. |
| Solomon’s temple / Ezekiel’s visionary temple (1 Kings 6-8; Ezekiel 40-48) | The New Jerusalem, with no temple in it (21:9-27, esp. 21:22) | Church as God’s People; New Heaven and New Earth | Deliberate typological escalation: the mediating structure is fulfilled and thereby rendered unnecessary by unmediated divine presence — this “fulfillment-by-removal” pattern must be highlighted explicitly, not read as mere absence of a feature. |
| Eden and its rivers/tree of life (Genesis 2) | The river and tree of life in the New Jerusalem (22:1-2) | New Heaven and New Earth | The strongest Genesis-to-Revelation canonical bracket in the entire book; a major asset for teaching the doctrine. |
| The Genesis 3 curse and serpent (Genesis 3:14-19) | The ancient serpent bound/destroyed (12:9; 20:2,10); “no longer any curse” (22:3) | Assurance of God’s Final Victory over Evil; New Heaven and New Earth | Direct thematic and lexical link to Romans 16:20 (see Part D) — the whole canon’s narrative arc from curse to un-cursing. |
| Israel as unfaithful bride/harlot (Hosea 1-3; Ezekiel 16, 23) | Babylon the harlot (ch. 17-18) vs. the New Jerusalem bride (19:7-9; 21:2,9; 22:17) | Church as Bride of Christ; Judgment of the Wicked | Revelation deliberately contrasts two women — the seductive false bride (Babylon) and the true, faithful Bride (the church) — recapitulating the OT prophets’ own marriage-covenant-unfaithfulness imagery; exposition should note both sides of this deliberate literary pairing. |
| Gog and Magog (Ezekiel 38-39) | The final rebellion (20:7-9) | Judgment of the Wicked | Symbolic reapplication to the ultimate eschatological rebellion, not identification with any specific ancient or contemporary nation — important given live geopolitical sensitivities. |
| The Davidic covenant formula “I will be his father, he will be my son” (2 Samuel 7:14) | “I will be his God and he will be my son” (21:7) | Return and Reign of Christ; New Heaven and New Earth | The covenant sonship once given uniquely to David’s royal line is now extended to every persevering overcomer — direct tie to Romans 8:15-17 adoption theology. |
PART D — Parallels to the Romans Curriculum
The following table cross-references Revelation passages to the corresponding Romans-curriculum doctrine entries already established (with their fixed Russian renderings and risk tiers) in the baseline Language Package, so that Phase 2 translators and reviewers maintain full theological and lexical consistency across both curricula.
| Romans Doctrine (baseline) | Romans Passage(s) | Revelation Passage(s) | Shared Russian Term (baseline-fixed) | Cross-Curriculum Consistency Rule |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grace | Romans 3:24; 5:2,15-17,20-21; 6:1,14-15; 11:5-6 | Revelation 22:21 (closing benediction) | благодать (Critical) | Must retain the identical Critical-risk handling in the Revelation closing benediction as anywhere in Romans — do not let familiarity with the phrase as a mere epistolary sign-off weaken the “apart from works” force. |
| Righteousness / Imputed Righteousness | Romans 3-4 | Revelation 19:8 (“righteous deeds of the saints”) | праведность, вменённая праведность (Critical) | The bride’s “righteous deeds” (19:8) must be exposited as granted, credited righteousness, directly citing the Romans 4 imputation doctrine — not autonomous merit. This is the single most important cross-curriculum doctrinal linkage in the whole book. |
| Salvation | Romans 1:16; 10:1,9-10; 13:11 | Revelation 7:10; 12:10; 19:1 | спасение (Critical) | “Salvation belongs to our God” (7:10; 19:1) must be anchored, as in Romans, to Christ’s finished redemptive work, not left to default into an open-ended process framing. |
| Assurance of Salvation | Romans 8:1,28-39 | Revelation 21:4 (“no more death or mourning or crying or pain”); 20:12,15 (“book of life”) | (no single fixed term; see уверенность в спасении doctrine name) | Romans 8:38-39’s “nothing can separate” and Revelation 21:4’s final abolition of all grief are the same doctrine at two points on the redemptive timeline (already accomplished in Christ / finally consummated); teach them together. |
| Adoption into God’s Family | Romans 8:15,23; 9:4 | Revelation 21:7 (“I will be his God and he will be my son”) | усыновление; Отец; сын | Direct doctrinal completion: Romans 8’s “Spirit of adoption” and Revelation 21:7’s final inheritance-sonship are the same filial status at two stages (already/not yet); reuse Отец/сын exactly as fixed in the baseline. |
| Sovereign Election | Romans 9:11-13; 11:5-7 | Revelation 13:8; 17:8 (“names written in the book of life…from the foundation of the world”) | избрание (High) | Same Critical/High-risk handling as Romans 9 required — must not be rendered with судьба/рок/карма; God’s sovereign, personal choice, not impersonal fate. |
| Wrath of God | Romans 1:18; 2:5,8; 5:9 | Revelation 6:16-17; 14:10,19; 15:1,7; 16:1,19; 19:15 | гнев Божий | Present consistently in both curricula as righteous judicial response to persistent unrepentant evil, not capricious anger — same pastoral framing required in both. |
| Universal Scope of the Gospel | Romans 1:16; 10:12-13 | Revelation 5:9; 7:9; 14:6; 15:4 | (see baseline universal_scope_of_gospel doctrine) | Both curricula must retain unqualified “all nations/every nation, tribe, people, tongue” language against any ethno-religious national-identity reading (the baseline’s “Third Rome”/Holy Rus’ caution applies equally to Revelation’s Babylon/nations material). |
| Unity of Jews and Gentiles | Romans 9-11 | Revelation 7:4-8 (144,000 of the tribes); 7:9 (multitude of every nation); 21:12 (twelve tribes on the gates) | (see baseline unity_of_jews_and_gentiles doctrine) | Same antisemitism-sensitivity handling required, especially at Revelation 2:9; 3:9’s “synagogue of Satan,” which must be read as referring to specific historical opponents, never to Jewish people generally. |
| Kingdom of God / Kingdom Mission | Romans 14:17; 15:12; 15:18-21 | Revelation 11:15; 12:10; 20:4,6; 22:5 | Царство Божие | Same “Third Rome”/tsardom-nostalgia caution applies to every Revelation occurrence of царство language; God’s reign is not a this-worldly political order in either curriculum. |
| Church as God’s People | Romans 12:4-5; 15:26; 16:1-16 | Revelation 21:2,9 (bride); 21:14 (apostolic foundations) | церковь; святые | Reinforce, not soften, that церковь is the whole gathered people of God, not an Orthodox-institution-only referent — same caution as in Romans, now intensified by невеста’s monastic-nun collision (see 07/08). |
| Government/Authority | Romans 13:1-7 | Revelation 13; 17 (the beast as counterfeit, demonically-empowered state power) | (no shared fixed term; distinct doctrinal categories) | These are complementary, not contradictory, doctrines — ordinary governing authority (Romans 13) is to be honored as divinely instituted for common good, while an eschatological/any historical state that demands the worship due to God alone becomes “the beast.” Both curricula’s teaching on civil government must be presented together so learners do not conclude Revelation contradicts Romans 13; this pairing requires human theologian review given the acute political sensitivity of Romans 13 already flagged in the baseline. |
| Assurance/Protoevangelium victory over Satan | Romans 16:20 (“God…will soon crush Satan under your feet”) | Revelation 12:9; 20:2,10 (the ancient serpent bound and destroyed) | сатана; древний змий | Both passages allude to Genesis 3:15; ensure сатана/змий vocabulary and the victory-motif are taught as a single unfolding fulfillment across both curricula, not as unrelated statements. |
| Doxology / Worship response to God’s plan | Romans 11:33-36 | Revelation 4-5; 7:12; 19:1-6 | слава; Бог; Господь | Both curricula’s doxological climaxes (after describing God’s sovereign plan) should be recognized by learners as the same worship-response pattern; keep слава’s full theological weight (baseline Medium-risk note on casual-exclamation flattening) intact in both. |
| Creation’s groaning / renewal | Romans 8:19-22 | Revelation 21:1; 22:3 (no more curse) | (no single fixed term; see New Heaven and New Earth doctrine) | Romans 8’s “creation waits in eager expectation” finds its explicit fulfillment in Revelation 21-22; teach these as one continuous promise, not two separate ideas. |
PART E — Rendering-Consistency Rules for Shared Quotations and Echoes
- Isaiah 25:8 (“he will wipe away every tear…death shall be no more”) occurs in partial form at Revelation 7:17 and in full form at Revelation 21:4. The Russian rendering (отрёт всякую слезу… смерти не будет уже) must be word-for-word identical at both locations. Any deviation breaks the deliberate literary anticipation-and-fulfillment structure of the book.
- Psalm 2:9 (“rule the nations with a rod of iron”) occurs at Revelation 2:26-27; 12:5; 19:15. All three occurrences must use the identical Russian phrase (жезлом железным, per established Synodal Psalm 2 rendering).
- “Faithful and True” (ὁ πιστὸς καὶ ἀληθινός) occurs at Revelation 3:14; 19:11; 21:5 (of God’s words). Render identically as Верный и Истинный at every occurrence, per 07/08.
- “King of kings and Lord of lords” occurs at Revelation 17:14 and 19:16. Render identically as Царь царей и Господь господствующих.
- “Second death” occurs at Revelation 2:11; 20:6,14; 21:8. Render identically as смерть вторая at all four occurrences; never substitute plain смерть.
- “Alpha and Omega” occurs at Revelation 1:8; 21:6; 22:13. Render identically as Альфа и Омега, with the one-time Greek-alphabet gloss given at first occurrence (1:8) sufficing for later occurrences.
- The song of Moses / song of the Lamb (Revelation 15:3) must be exposited alongside the Exodus 15 Song of the Sea using consistent OT-quotation-citation practice, not treated as a Revelation-original composition.
- Genesis 3:15’s protoevangelium underlies both Romans 16:20 and Revelation 12:9/20:2,10. Ensure сатана and древний змий vocabulary is used identically in both curricula’s teaching materials when this specific typological link is being drawn, so that a learner moving from the Romans curriculum to the Revelation curriculum recognizes the same promise being fulfilled.
- “I will be their God, and they will be my people” covenant formula (echoing Leviticus 26:11-12; Ezekiel 37:27; 2 Samuel 7:14) occurs at Revelation 21:3 and 21:7. These are two related but distinct applications (corporate/all peoples at v.3; individual/filial at v.7) — do not collapse them into one rendering; keep народы (peoples, plural, v.3) distinct from сын (son, singular-representative but corporately inclusive, v.7), per 07_semantic_analysis notes.
- “Water of life…without price” (Isaiah 55:1) occurs at Revelation 21:6 and 22:17. Render identically as вода жизни… даром, reinforcing the shared root with баseline благодать (grace) noted in 07/08.
- Daniel 7’s Son of Man/beast/kingdom-to-the-saints material recurs across Revelation 1:13; 13:1-7; 14:14; 17:3,7; 19:20; 20:4,11-15; 22:5. Maintain consistent Russian proper-name and title forms (Даниил, звери, Сын Человеческий where directly echoed) across all occurrences so the Danielic literary backbone of the whole book remains visible to Russian readers.
- The millennium/first-resurrection interpretive framework (Revelation 20:1-7) must be stated with the curriculum’s own explicit interpretive position (per the Critical risk flagged in 07/08 and repeated in Part A above) — this is not a “rendering consistency” issue in the narrow lexical sense but a required consistency of theological framing across every lesson that touches chapter 20, to avoid presenting contradictory interpretive stances in different lessons of the same curriculum.
- Any citation shared between the Romans and Revelation curricula (see Part D table) must use the same Russian Scripture-quotation wording where the same underlying verse is quoted in both (e.g., if a Romans lesson quotes Genesis 15:6 or Habakkuk 2:4, and a Revelation lesson alludes to the same imputed-righteousness or faith-by-which-the-righteous-live doctrine, the supporting exposition should use identical established phrasing, not a fresh paraphrase).
PART F — Citation Normalization / Russian Synodal Book-Abbreviation Table
Extends the baseline’s existing Cross-Reference Preservation Rules table with all additional books cited in this analysis. Verse numbers remain Arabic numerals throughout, per baseline convention.
| English Book Name | Russian Full Name | Russian Synodal Abbreviation | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revelation | Откровение Иоанна Богослова | Откр. | Book under study; see 07_semantic_analysis ch.1 note on Откровение vs. Апокалипсис. |
| Genesis | Бытие | Быт. | (baseline) |
| Exodus | Исход | Исх. | New book name in this Language Package extension. |
| Leviticus | Левит | Лев. | New. |
| Numbers | Числа | Чис. | New. |
| Deuteronomy | Второзаконие | Втор. | New. |
| Judges | Книга Судей | Суд. | New. |
| 1 Samuel | 1-я Книга Царств | 1 Цар. | Russian Synodal (LXX-based) numbering differs from Hebrew/English numbering — see note below. |
| 2 Samuel | 2-я Книга Царств | 2 Цар. | English “2 Samuel” = Russian “2 Царств.” |
| 1 Kings | 3-я Книга Царств | 3 Цар. | English “1 Kings” = Russian “3 Царств” — critical for correctly citing Elijah (1 Kings 17) and Jezebel (1 Kings 16; 2 Kings 9) references in ch. 2 and ch. 11. |
| 2 Kings | 4-я Книга Царств | 4 Цар. | English “2 Kings” = Russian “4 Царств.” |
| Psalms | Псалтирь | Пс. | (baseline) |
| Ecclesiastes | Екклесиаст | Еккл. | New. |
| Isaiah | Исаия | Ис. | (baseline) |
| Jeremiah | Иеремия | Иер. | New. |
| Ezekiel | Иезекииль | Иез. | New. |
| Daniel | Даниил | Дан. | New. |
| Hosea | Осия | Ос. | New. |
| Joel | Иоиль | Иоил. | (baseline) |
| Micah | Михей | Мих. | New. |

| Zephaniah | Софония | Соф. | New. |
| Zechariah | Захария | Зах. | New. |
| Malachi | Малахия | Мал. | New. |
Note on 1-4 Kingdoms/Samuel-Kings numbering: The Russian Synodal tradition follows the Septuagint/Church Slavonic four-book “Царств” (Kingdoms) division rather than the Hebrew Masoretic-derived English “1-2 Samuel / 1-2 Kings” division. Any Phase 2 footnote, cross-reference, or in-text citation referring to Elijah, Elisha, Jezebel, or the divided-kingdom narrative background for Revelation 2:20 and 11:5-6 must use the Russian 1-4 Царств numbering, not a literal transliteration of the English book names, to match reader expectation and avoid readers being unable to locate the cited passage in their own Russian Bible.
