Allusion2

A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.

Rev 22:1–5

No sun or moon for light, for the LORD will be everlasting light. Direct source for 'no night... no lamp... the Lord God will illuminate them.' Coherence with Rev 21:23. LXX and Hebrew agree.

High confidence
1 John 1:5

'The LORD will be your everlasting light' and the sun's light will be superseded by God himself. This eschatological vision of God as undiminished light supports the claim that in him is no darkness at all.

Medium confidence

Echo1

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

1 Tim 6:13-16 ?

'Yahweh will be your everlasting light.' The eschatological depiction of God as light may faintly inform the doxology's 'unapproachable light.' A distant resonance secondary to Psalm 104:2.
