Allusion1
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
'Zacharias was troubled... and fear fell upon him' reproduces Daniel's terror before Gabriel, when Daniel 'was frightened and fell on my face' (Daniel 8:17; cf. 10:7-9). The stock prophetic dread-at-theophany reaction, paired with the Gabriel context, makes this a coherent Danielic allusion.
High confidenceEcho1
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
Daniel falls before the angelic interpreter (cf. 10:9). Background for John falling to worship the revealing angel, though the prohibition of angel-worship is distinctive to Rev. Faint, generic.
