Allusion3
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
Against Gog: 'I will rain... great hailstones, fire, and sulfur.' Primary source for the talent-weight hailstones of bowl 7 (16:21), tied to the same Gog judgment as the earthquake.
High confidence'I will rain upon him... fire and brimstone' (LXX pyr kai theion) — direct source of 'fire came down out of heaven... and devoured them' and of 'lake of fire and sulfur.' Strong lexical match (pyr/theion).
High confidenceJudgment on Gog: 'I will rain on him... torrential rains and hailstones, fire and sulfur.' Hail + fire + blood as instruments of eschatological judgment; supplies the apocalyptic-warfare register fused with the Exodus plague.
Medium confidenceEcho2
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
Judgment with 'great hailstones' in the day of the LORD — background for Rev's 'great hail' in the theophanic finale. Faint, one element of the storm formula.
Low confidence'Fire and sulfur' rained in judgment on Gog — reinforces the 'lake that burns with fire and sulfur' (v.8).
