The sealed-to-unsealed arc is a narrative frame binding Daniel 8-12 to Revelation
Daniel sealed (Dan 8:26, 12:4) -> Lamb opens (Rev 5:1-9) -> angel holds open book (Rev 10:2) -> "Seal NOT" (Rev 22:10)
The deliberate inversion positions Revelation as the COMPLETION of Daniel's prophecies
Rev 22:10 closes the arc with explicit negation: "Seal NOT [me sphragises]"
The sphragizo vocabulary runs through the entire arc creating a deliberate linguistic chain

Rev 22:1 river of water of life culminates the Tabernacles water ceremony trajectory (Isa 12:3 -> John 7:37-39 -> Zec 14:8 -> Rev 22:1)
Rev 22:14 "do his commandments... tree of life" reverses Gen 3:24 (access barred -> access granted)
The xylon (G3586, "tree") carries cross-theology: xylon of the cross leads to xylon of life
The hapax katathema (G2652, Rev 22:3) signals permanent curse reversal
The Tabernacles water invitation in Rev 22:17 connects to John 7:37-39

The five-stage sealed-to-unsealed progression documented
Rev 10:5-6 replicates the Daniel 12:5-7 oath scene with REVERSED content
The biblaridion/biblion vocabulary distinction: little book = Danielic subset
Rev 10:4 (seal the seven thunders) is the ONLY sealed content within Revelation's unsealing program
The sealed thunders serve as a hermeneutical boundary

"ha dei genesthai en tachei" identical at Rev 1:1 and 22:6 (TM015 inclusio)
"ho kairos engys" at Rev 1:3 and 22:10 — kairos vs chronos (TM017)
Dan 12:4 chatham (Qal imperative) vs Rev 22:10 me sphragises (prohibitive subjunctive)
Triple "I come quickly" (tachy, G5035) at Rev 22:7, 22:12, 22:20 with escalating emphasis
Moral-fixedness parallel: Dan 12:10 // Rev 22:11 (VP171)
Beatitude parallel: Dan 12:12 // Rev 1:3 and 22:7 (VP172)
Rev 1:1's "ha dei genesthai" derives from LXX Daniel 2:28; Revelation adds "en tachei" (AN083)

9 documented verbal parallels between Rev 1:1-8 and 22:6-21
VP016 (Strong): Rev 1:8 // Rev 22:13 — Alpha/Omega, beginning/end (5 shared elements)
The Alpha-Omega title appears at both opening (1:8) and closing (22:13) as an inclusio within the inclusio
Coming-language shifts: third-person (1:7) -> first-person (22:7,12) -> second-person invitation (22:17,20)
TM022: martyreo/martyria word family in both prologue and epilogue

Rev 22:7 = Beatitude 6; Rev 22:14 = Beatitude 7
VP014: Rev 1:3 // Rev 22:7 share makarios + tereo + logous + propheteia (4 elements)
Rev 22:14 "do his commandments" is the FINAL beatitude, connecting obedience to tree-of-life access
The 7th beatitude reverses Genesis 3:24
