Medium confidenceEcho2
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
'Let him calculate the number of the beast... the number of a man' — the wisdom-to-discern motif ('Here is wisdom... understanding') resonates with Daniel's apocalyptic call for the wise (maskilim) to understand (Dan 12:10; 'understanding in all visions' Dan 1:17; 8:23-25). Gematria itself is extra-biblical technique.
Low confidenceThe king who 'stands up against the Prince of princes' but is 'broken without hand' parallels the kings warring on the Lamb and being overcome. Faint, structural. Hays: low.
