Genesis and Revelation
Nothing is new under the Son, but everything is new when emerging from the dark.
Here is what I would consider to be evidence that the Word is truly intertwined and self-supportive from beginning to end. Although there is an equally interesting comparison between the book of Daniel and Revelation, this one sums up the whole.
Those with a Companion Bible have a set of appendixes of which number 3 is titled Genesis finds its Complement in the Apocalypse. It provides a 30-point comparison between the book of Genesis and Revelation. For those not familiar with the structure of the Bible that would be the first book of the Old Testament and the last book of the New Testament in your King James Version (KJV).
