I found some similarities between Revalations 17:1 (similarity to 117) and Halo, especially in the Cortana letters and the things Cortana says in the trailer.

In the passage in the first sentence, it mentions repeating what has already done in preface to the Apocalypse.This is similar to Gulity Spark 343 telling the Chief to repeat he had already done and activate the Halos, in other words the Apocalypse.
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 mentioning of the Abyss in the first letter. In the passage, it explains how He will come from the endless pit, which is an Abyss. Also, Tartarus is named after the Greek abyss where the Titans where kept.

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".

I guarentee you that if you looked hard enough, you could find obscure similarities to halo, or just about anything you want in the majority of books of that length.

The only things that I am covinced MIGHT be a reference to the bible so far is the whole ark/flood thing, and also, the covenant mat also be a biblical reference of some sort.

There probably are many similarities in the whole bible, but this is just one passage.
