Matthew 21
[7] And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon.
[8] And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way.
[9] And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.
[10] And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?
[11] And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.

Revelation 19
[11] And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
[12] His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
[13] And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
[14] And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
[15] And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
[16] And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

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 ...
