John's Revelation integrates language and imagery from the Hebrew Bible, especially from Exodus, Isaiah, Ezekiel, and Daniel. While attention to John's use of the Hebrew Bible has contributed toward a helpful framework for interpreting Revelation's difficult themes and images, less attention has been given to John's integration of certain New Testament texts. At the End of All Things examines these potential verbal connections that Revelation shares with other New Testament texts.
