The ending both books share
The stone kingdom
A stone cut out without hands becomes a mountain that fills the whole earth — the only kingdom in the vision with no successor.
See it
No hands quarry it, no army carries it, and it grows until it is the landscape. Everything metal becomes chaff before it.
Not gradual conquest
The stone strikes the feet, not the head. It arrives at the end of the sequence, not somewhere in the middle of it.
Revelation's version
The same ending appears as the marriage supper, the throne, and the city descending — one story told twice.
Read it for yourself
Every reference opens in the two-book reader with commentary, chain references and original-language notes.
