I found some similarities between Revalations 17:1 (backwards is 117) ) and Halo as well, especially the Cortana letters.
In the passage in the first sentence, it mentions repeating what has already done in preface to the Apochalpse.This is similar to Gulity Spark 343 telling the Chief to repeat he had already done and activate the Halos, in other words the Apochalypse .
A few sentences later, it talks about the ancient Fathers, this could be a similarity to the Forerunners.
In the Cortana letters, Cortana mentions her "mother" in the passage, the City of Babylon is refered to as the "mother of fornifications". Also from the Cortana letters, it mentions the creator of the unbroken circle must be in chains. In the passage, it also says he is bound in chains. Another similarity is the mentio of the Abyss in the first letter. I the passage, it explains how He will come from the endless pit, which is an Abyss.
I think that some of the words from Cortana in the trailer share similarities with the passage as well. Such as "defying gods and demons" and knowing your past and future. I believe, though I am not sure, that Revelations were all predictions and physcic viewings, that might explain the "knowing your future part".
