Ellen White & Bible Cross-Reference
Isaiah 46:3
"Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, which are borne by me from the belly, which are carried from the womb:"
"“Ye that have been borne by Me from your birth, That have been carried by Me from your earliest breath, Even to your old age I am the same; Even to hoar hairs I will carry you; I have done it, and I will still bear you; I will carry, and I will deliver you.” Isaiah 46:3, 4 , Noyes. MH 251.2"
EGW directly quotes Isaiah 46:3-4.
Isaiah 46:4
"And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you."
"“Ye that have been borne by Me from your birth, That have been carried by Me from your earliest breath, Even to your old age I am the same; Even to hoar hairs I will carry you; I have done it, and I will still bear you; I will carry, and I will deliver you.” Isaiah 46:3, 4 , Noyes. MH 251.2"
EGW directly quotes Isaiah 46:3-4, although she cites Noyes' translation. The connection is undeniable.
Isaiah 46:10
"Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:"
"The prophecies which the great I AM has given in His word, uniting link after link in the chain of events, from eternity in the past to eternity in the future, tell us where we are today in the procession of the ages and what may be expected in the time to come. All that prophecy has foretold as coming to pass, until the present time, has been traced on the pages of history, and we may be assured that all which is yet to come will be fulfilled in its order. PK 536.3"
Both passages emphasize God's ability to foresee and declare the future. Isaiah 46:10 speaks of God declaring the end from the beginning, while the EGW passage speaks of prophecy uniting events from the past to the future. The core idea of God's prophetic power is shared.
"The history which the great I AM has marked out in His word, uniting link after link in the prophetic chain, from eternity in the past to eternity in the future, tells us where we are today in the procession of the ages, and what may be expected in the time to come. All that prophecy has foretold as coming to pass, until the present time, has been traced on the pages of history, and we may be assured that all which is yet to come will be fulfilled in its order. Ed 178.3"
Both passages emphasize God's ability to declare the future and fulfill prophecy. Isaiah 46:10 speaks of declaring the end from the beginning, while EGW speaks of prophecy being fulfilled in order. The connection is thematic and relevant.
Isaiah 46:13
"I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry: and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory."
"“I bring near My righteousness; it shall not be far off, and My salvation shall not tarry: and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel My glory.” Isaiah 46:13 . PK 696.5"
