The purpose of this thread is to study references to the Old Testament listed in the margin of Nestle-Aland's Greek New Testament.

• Revelation 1
  
  1a The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants the things that must soon take place (<φοντ χολορ="#φφ0012">α δει γενεσθαι εν ταχει - Nestle-Aland). (ESV)

Allusions and verbal parallels (Nestle-Aland margin):

• Amos 3
  
  7 "For the Lord GOD does nothing
  without revealing his secret
  to his servants the prophets.
  
  Daniel 2
  
  28 but there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries, and he has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what will be in the latter days (<φοντ χολορ="#φφ0012">α δει γενεσθαι επ εσχατων των ημερων – LXX - “what things must come to pass in the last days”).
  
  Daniel 2
  
  29 To you, O king, as you lay in bed came thoughts of what would be after this, and he who reveals mysteries made known to you what is to be (<φοντ χολορ="#φφ0012">α δει γενεσθαι μετα ταυτα – LXX - “what must happen after these things”).
  
  Daniel 2
  
  44 And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that shall never be destroyed, nor shall the kingdom be left to another people. It shall break in pieces all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, and it shall stand forever, 45 just as you saw that a stone was cut from a mountain by no human hand, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold. A great God has made known to the king what shall be after this (<φοντ χολορ="#φφ0012">α δει γενεσθαι μετα ταυτα – LXX - “what must happen after these things”). The dream is certain, and its interpretation sure."

• Revelation 1
  
  4 John to the seven churches that are in Asia: Grace to you and peace from him who is (<φοντ χολορ="βλυε">ο ων) and who was and who is to come, and from the seven spirits who are before his throne, (ESV)

Nestle-Aland margin:

• Exodus 3
  
  14 God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM (<φοντ χολορ="βλυε">εγω ειμι ο ων)." And he said, "Say this to the people of Israel, 'I AM (<φοντ χολορ="βλυε">ο ων) has sent me to you.'" (ESV)
  
  Isaiah 41
  
  4 Who has performed and done this,
  calling the generations from the beginning?
  I, the LORD (יהוה), the first,
  and with the last; I am he (LXX: <φοντ χολορ="βλυε">εγω ειμι / Hebrew: אני הוא).
  
  Isaiah 11
  
  2 And the Spirit of the LORD (יהוה) shall rest upon him,
  the Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
  the Spirit of counsel and might,
  the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the LORD (יהוה). (ESV)

Note the 7-fold reference to the Spirit in Isaiah 11:2 :

  (2) the Spirit of wisdom
  (3) the Spirit of understanding
  (4) the Spirit of counsel
  (5) the Spirit of might
  (6) the Spirit of knowledge
  (7) the Spirit of the fear of the LORD (יהוה).

  from all his iniquities.

Nestle-Aland margin:

• Exodus 19
  
  6 and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. These are the words that you shall speak to the people of Israel." (ESV)
  
  Isaiah 61
  
  6 but you shall be called the priests of the LORD (יהוה);
  they shall speak of you as the ministers of our God;
  you shall eat the wealth of the nations,
  and in their glory you shall boast. (ESV)

• Revelation 1
  
  7 Behold, he is coming with the clouds (<φοντ χολορ="βλυε">ερχεται μετα των νεφελων]), and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him, and all tribes of the earth will wail on account of him. Even so. Amen. (ESV)

Index of quotations (Nestle-Aland margin):

  The Son of Man Is Given Dominion
  
  13 I saw in the night visions,

  there came (LXX : <φοντ χολορ="βλυε">ερχομενος) one like a son of man,
  and he came to the Ancient of Days
  and was presented before him. (ESV)
  
  Zechariah 12
  
  Him Whom They Have Pierced (Aqu ; Theod)
  
  10 "And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and pleas for mercy, so that, when they look on me, on him whom they have pierced, they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for an only child, and weep bitterly over him, as one weeps over a firstborn. (ESV)

Note: The “coming” in Daniel 7 was not from heaven to earth, but the reverse (“ . . .he came to the Ancient of Days
and was presented before him”).

Great thread, John.
