Ellen White & Bible Cross-Reference
Amos 8:3
"And the songs of the temple shall be howlings in that day, saith the Lord God: there shall be many dead bodies in every place; they shall cast them forth with silence."
"silence.” Joel 1:10-12, 17-20 ; Amos 8:3 . GC 628.1"
Ellen White directly references Amos 8:3 in this passage.
Amos 8:11
"Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord:"
"The world is perishing for want of the gospel. There is a famine for the word of God. There are few who preach the word unmixed with human tradition. Though men have the Bible in their hands, they do not receive the blessing that God has placed in it for them. The Lord calls upon His servants to carry His message to the people. The word of everlasting life must be given to those who are perishing in their sins. COL 228.4"
Both passages describe a 'famine' related to the word of God. EGW applies the concept to her time.
