Allusion1
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
'The day of YHWH comes, cruel, with wrath and fierce anger, to make the earth a desolation' is a paradigmatic Day-of-wrath oracle feeding Paul's 'wrath to come.' The eschatological orge directed at the nations coheres with the deliverance of believers; a solid secondary source for the wrath motif.
Medium confidenceEcho1
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
'The wrath to come' invokes the prophetic Day of the LORD as burning wrath against the wicked (Isa 13:9 'the day of the LORD comes, cruel with wrath'). Thematic coherence with John's eschatological judgment preaching; no single source verbally dominant.
