Matthew 14
[17] And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.
[18] He said, Bring them hither to me.
[19] And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
[20] And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.
[21] And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.

Revelation 14
[8] And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
[9] And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
[10] The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:

Matt.22 [ 1 ] And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said, [ 2 ] The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son, [ 3 ] And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come. [ 4 ] Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage. [ 5 ] But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise: [ 6 ] And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them. [ 7 ] But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. [ 8 ] Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. [ 9 ] Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the ...
Matthew 2 [4] And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born. Revelation 2 [9] I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.

Matthew 12:1-24 and Revelation 9

 Matthew 12:1-24 and Revelation 9 match up. The conceptual match is that Jesus is opposed by the religious leaders and in Revelation evil creatures attack and kill humans. There is a two part structural match.  Matthew 12:1-14 & Revelation 9:1-11 Matthew 12:15-24 & Revelation 9:12-21  firstly: Matthew starts with the disciples eating wheat in a field. Revelation starts with locusts being released. Locusts destroy crops by eating them in the field. In Matthew Jesus gives an example of a sheep falling in a pit and being lifted out. In Revelation the locusts are released out of a bottomless pit. The first structure ends with the religious leaders seeking to destroy Jesus. And in Revelation it ends with the word Apollyon. In Greek the word destroy and Apollyon are the same word. Second structure: Jesus heals all that come to him, but in Revelation four horses are released to slay a third of men. In Matthew Jesus doesn't quench a smoking flax, but in Revelation people ...
