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.

Allusion1

A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.

Rev 3:7–13

The naming of the eschatological city ('Yahweh is there') is the structural model for 'the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem' (3:12). Ezekiel's temple-city vision (40–48) deeply shapes Rev's New Jerusalem; high recurrence + thematic fit.

High confidence

Echo2

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

Rev 21:22-27

The city's name 'The LORD is there' (YHWH-shammah) — God's unmediated presence stands behind 'no temple... for the Lord God... and the Lamb are its temple' (v.22).

Medium confidence
Rev 22:1–5 ?

'The LORD is there' (YHWH-shammah) as the city's name; faint support for the divine presence/illumination and name-bearing themes climaxing the new Jerusalem.

Low confidence
