The prophets were the source of the Old Testament’s prophetic and apocalyptic literature. Books like Isaiah and Daniel especially include large sections of visions and end-times commentary. As they also (apart from Haggai and Malachi) feature poetry, the prophets overlap in three of the four genres we’ve identified for Revelation. It’s only natural that this book would have a deeper connection to these texts than others in the Old Testament. The Law is referred to 13% of the time, and the Writings 24%.
