Where this passage surfaces again, sorted by the strength of the link. Each kind of reuse — formal quotation, deliberate allusion, faint echo, figural pattern — carries its own mark. Follow any reference to read it in place.

Allusion3

A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.

Rev 16:17-21

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
Rev 20:7–10

'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 confidence
Rev 8:6–7

Judgment 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 confidence

Echo2

A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.

Rev 11:15–19 ?

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
Rev 21:5-8 ?

'Fire and sulfur' rained in judgment on Gog — reinforces the 'lake that burns with fire and sulfur' (v.8).
