Matthew 18
[1] At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
[2] And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,
[3] And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
[4] Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
[5] And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.

Revelation 18
[20] Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.

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.

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 ...
