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 :
  • (1) the Spirit of the LORD (יהוה)
    (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).

  • 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):
  • Daniel 7

    The Son of Man Is Given Dominion

    13 I saw in the night visions,
    and behold, with the clouds (LXX : <φοντ χολορ="βλυε">μετα των νεφελων)) of heaven
    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
”).

John Reece:

  • 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):
  • Daniel 7

    The Son of Man Is Given Dominion

    13 I saw in the night visions,
    and behold, with the clouds (LXX : <φοντ χολορ="βλυε">μετα των νεφελων)) of heaven
    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 &quot;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
”).
The above post should have included the following OT verses, which are in the margin of Nestle-Aland, at the ending Revelation 1:7c - . . . all tribes of the earth (<φοντ χολορ="βλυε">πασαι αι φυλαι της γης) will wail on account of him” :
  • Genesis 12

    3 I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth (LXX: <φοντ χολορ="βλυε">πασαι αι φυλαι της γης) shall be blessed."

    Genesis 28

    14 Your offspring shall be like the dust of the earth, and you shall spread abroad to the west and to the east and to the north and to the south, and in you and your offspring shall all the families of the earth (LXX: <φοντ χολορ="βλυε">πασαι αι φυλαι της γης) be blessed. (ESV)

  • Revelation 1

    12 Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning I saw seven golden lampstands, 13 and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden sash around his chest. (ESV)

    2 And he said to me, "What do you see?" I said, "I see, and behold, a lampstand all of gold, with a bowl on the top of it, and seven lamps on it, with seven lips on each of the lamps that are on the top of it.

    Daniel 10

    5 I lifted up my eyes and looked, and behold, a man clothed in linen, with a belt of fine gold from Uphaz around his waist. 6 His body was like beryl, his face like the appearance of lightning, his eyes like flaming torches, his arms and legs like the gleam of burnished bronze, and the sound of his words like the sound of a multitude.

    Ezekiel 9

    2 And behold, six men came from the direction of the upper gate, which faces north, each with his weapon for slaughter in his hand, and with them was a man clothed in linen, with a writing case at his waist. And they went in and stood beside the bronze altar.

    16 In his right hand he held seven stars, from his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining in full strength (<φοντ χολορ="βλυε">ως ο ηλιος φαινει εν τη δυναμει αυτου). (ESV)

  • Daniel 8

    18 And when he had spoken to me, I fell into a deep sleep with my face to the ground. But he touched me and made me stand up.
