Revelation and the Old Testament

On Sunday we are continuing our series through the Book of Revelation looking at Chapters 8-11.  In a previous post, I quoted from Richard Bauckham:

Its continuity with Old Testament prophecy is deliberate and impressively comprehensive.
...
John is steeped in it (the OT), not just as a medium in which he thinks, but as the Word of God which he is interpreting afresh for an age in which God's eschatological purpose has begun to be fulfilled. 

As we consider Ch 8-11 it is important to refresh our memory of the various Old Testament passages that are strongly referred to in these chapters.  You may like to read or skim through them before Sunday.  They include:

Exodus 7-15
1 Kings 17-19, 2 Kings 1
Ezekiel 1:1-3:11
