Old Testament References in the Book of Revelation

By: Dr. Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum, Th.M., Ph.D.

Founder and Director of Ariel Ministries


There are over five hundred references to the Old Testament in the Book of

Revelation. The following is a list of such references, but it makes no claim to being exhaustive

or complete.


Some of these references back to the Old Testament do speak of the very same thing

as the Revelation. However, in others, the Revelation merely borrows a phrase or motif for the

purpose of developing a new area. This distinction should be kept in mind in the study of those

Old Testament references.

5 Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent, and do the works you did at first. If not, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent.


6 Yet this you have: you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.

To the Church in Smyrna


8 “And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write: ‘The words of the first and the last, who died and came to life. 


9 “‘I know your tribulation and your poverty (but you are rich) and the slander of those who say that they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.


10 Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and for ten days you will have tribulation. Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life.


11 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. The one who conquers will not be hurt by the second death.’

16 Therefore repent. If not, I will come to you soon and war against them with the sword of my mouth.

2:17

21 I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality.

I Kings 16:31-32

2:23

23 and I will strike her children dead. And all the churches will know that I am he who searches mind and heart, and I will give to each of you according to your works.


24 But to the rest of you in Thyatira, who do not hold this teaching, who have not learned what some call the deep things of Satan, to you I say, I do not lay on you any other burden.

​​​​​​​and its breaking is like that of a potter's vessel ​​​​​​​that is smashed so ruthlessly ​​​​​​​that among its fragments not a shard is found ​​​​​​​with which to take fire from the hearth, ​​​​​​​or to dip up water out of the cistern.”


Jeremiah 19:11

and shall say to them, ‘Thus says the LORD of hosts: So will I break this people and this city, as one breaks a potter's vessel, so that it can never be mended. Men shall bury in Topheth because there will be no place else to bury.

4:9

9 And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who is seated on the throne, who lives forever and ever,


10 the twenty-four elders fall down before him who is seated on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying,

​​​​​​​​For I lift up my hand to heaven ​​​​​​​and swear, As I live forever, ​​​


Daniel 4:34

At the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted my eyes to heaven, and my reason returned to me, and I blessed the Most High, and praised and honored him who lives forever, ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​for his dominion is an everlasting dominion, ​​​​​​​and his kingdom endures from generation to generation;

5 Then I saw in the right hand of him who was seated on the throne a scroll written within and on the back, sealed with seven seals.


2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?


3 And no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or to look into it,


4 and I began to weep loudly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to look into it.

Ezekiel 2:9-10

And when I looked, behold, a hand was stretched out to me, and behold, a scroll of a book was in it. 10 And he spread it before me. And it had writing on the front and on the back, and there were written on it words of lamentation and mourning and woe.


Daniel 12:4

But you, Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book, until the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”

5:5

5 And one of the elders said to me, “Weep no more; behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered, so that he can open the scroll and its seven seals.”

Genesis 49:9-10

​​​​​​​​Judah is a lion's cub; ​​​​​​​from the prey, my son, you have gone up. ​​​​​​​He stooped down; he crouched as a lion ​​​​​​​and as a lioness; who dares rouse him? ​​​ 10 ​​​​​​​​The scepter shall not depart from Judah, ​​​​​​​nor the ruler's staff from between his feet, ​​​​​​​until tribute comes to him; ​​​​​​​and to him shall be the obedience of the peoples.

5:6

6 And between the throne and the four living creatures and among the elders I saw a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, with seven horns and with seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth.


7 And he went and took the scroll from the right hand of him who was seated on the throne.

Psalm 111:2

​​​​​​​​Great are the works of the LORD, ​​​​​​​studied by all who delight in them.

​​​​​​​​Sing to the LORD a new song, ​​​​​​​his praise from the end of the earth, ​​​​​​​you who go down to the sea, and all that fills it, ​​​​​​​the coastlands and their inhabitants.

And because of the greatness that he gave him, all peoples, nations, and languages trembled and feared before him. Whom he would, he killed, and whom he would, he kept alive; whom he would, he raised up, and whom he would, he humbled.

5:10

​​​​​​​​10 and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, ​​​​​​​and they shall reign on the earth. ​​​

5:11

11 Then I looked, and I heard around the throne and the living creatures and the elders the voice of many angels, numbering myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands,


12 saying with a loud voice, “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing!”


13 And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying, “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!”


14 And the four living creatures said, “Amen!” and the elders fell down and worshiped.


Daniel 7:10

A stream of fire issued ​​​​​​​and came out from before him; ​​​​​​​a thousand thousands served him, ​​​​​​​and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him; ​​​​​​​the court sat in judgment, ​​​​​​​and the books were opened. ​​​


The Seven Seals


6:2


1 Now I watched when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures say with a voice like thunder, “Come!”


2 And I looked, and behold, a white horse! And its rider had a bow, and a crown was given to him, and he came out conquering, and to conquer.


3 When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!”

6:5

5 When he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” And I looked, and behold, a black horse! And its rider had a pair of scales in his hand.


6 And I heard what seemed to be a voice in the midst of the four living creatures, saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius, and do not harm the oil and wine!” 


7 When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!”

Zechariah 6:2

The first chariot had red horses, the second black horses,

6:8

8 And I looked, and behold, a pale horse! And its rider's name was Death, and Hades followed him. And they were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by wild beasts of the earth.


9 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the witness they had borne.


10 They cried out with a loud voice, “O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before you will judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?”


11 Then they were each given a white robe and told to rest a little longer, until the number of their fellow servants and their brothers should be complete, who were to be killed as they themselves had been.

Jeremiah 15:2-3

And when they ask you, ‘Where shall we go?’ you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the LORD: ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“‘Those who are for pestilence, to pestilence, ​​​​​​​and those who are for the sword, to the sword; ​​​​​​​those who are for famine, to famine, ​​​​​​​and those who are for captivity, to captivity.’ ​​​ 3 I will appoint over them four kinds of destroyers, declares the LORD: the sword to kill, the dogs to tear, and the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth to devour and destroy.

Zechariah 6:3

the third white horses, and the fourth chariot dappled horses-all of them strong.

6:12

12 When he opened the sixth seal, I looked, and behold, there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth, the full moon became like blood,

Isaiah 50:3

​​​​​​​​I clothe the heavens with blackness ​​​​​​​and make sackcloth their covering.


Joel 2:10

​​​​​​​​The earth quakes before them; ​​​​​​​the heavens tremble. ​​​​​​​The sun and the moon are darkened, ​​​​​​​and the stars withdraw their shining.

The mountains quake before him; ​​​​​​​the hills melt; ​​​​​​​the earth heaves before him, ​​​​​​​the world and all who dwell in it.

6:15

15 Then the kings of the earth and the great ones and the generals and the rich and the powerful, and everyone, slave and free, hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains,

Psalm 48:4-6

For behold, the kings assembled; ​​​​​​​they came on together. ​​​ 5 ​​​​​​​​As soon as they saw it, they were astounded; ​​​​​​​they were in panic; they took to flight. ​​​ 6 ​​​​​​​​Trembling took hold of them there, ​​​​​​​anguish as of a woman in labor.


Isaiah 2:10-12

​​​​​​​​Enter into the rock ​​​​​​​and hide in the dust ​​​​​​​from before the terror of the LORD, ​​​​​​​and from the splendor of his majesty. ​​​ 11 ​​​​​​​​The haughty looks of man shall be brought low, ​​​​​​​and the lofty pride of men shall be humbled, ​​​​​​​and the LORD alone will be exalted in that day. ​​​ 12 ​​​​​​​​For the LORD of hosts has a day ​​​​​​​against all that is proud and lofty, ​​​​​​​against all that is lifted up-and it shall be brought low;


Isaiah 10:19

Nahum 1:6

​​​​​​​​Who can stand before his indignation? ​​​​​​​Who can endure the heat of his anger? ​​​​​​​His wrath is poured out like fire, ​​​​​​​and the rocks are broken into pieces by him. ​​​


Zephaniah 1:14-18

​​​​​​​​The great day of the LORD is near, ​​​​​​​near and hastening fast; ​​​​​​​the sound of the day of the LORD is bitter; ​​​​​​​the mighty man cries aloud there. ​​​ 15 ​​​​​​​​A day of wrath is that day, ​​​​​​​a day of distress and anguish, ​​​​​​​a day of ruin and devastation, ​​​​​​​a day of darkness and gloom, ​​​​​​​a day of clouds and thick darkness, ​​​ 16 ​​​​​​​​a day of trumpet blast and battle cry ​​​​​​​against the fortified cities ​​​​​​​and against the lofty battlements. ​​​ 17 ​​​​​​​​I will bring distress on mankind, ​​​​​​​so that they shall walk like the blind, ​​​​​​​because they have sinned against the LORD; ​​​​​​​their blood shall be poured out like dust, ​​​​​​​and their flesh like dung. ​​​ 18 ​​​​​​​​Neither their silver nor their gold ​​​​​​​shall be able to deliver them ​​​​​​​on the day of the wrath of the LORD. ​​​​​​​In the fire of his jealousy, ​​​​​​​all the earth shall be consumed; ​​​​​​​for a full and sudden end ​​​​​​​he will make of all the inhabitants of the earth. ​​​


Malachi 3:2

But who can endure the day of his coming, and who can stand when he appears? For he is like a refiner's fire and like fullers' soap.
