Jeremiah 11:2
"Hear ye the words of this covenant, and speak unto the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem;"
"Had this counsel been heeded through the centuries that followed, how different would have been Israel's history! Only as a reverence for God's Holy Word was cherished in the hearts of the people, could they hope to fulfill the divine purpose. It was regard for the law of God that gave Israel strength during the reign of David and the earlier years of Solomon's rule; it was through faith in the living word that reformation was wrought in the days of Elijah and of Josiah. And it was to these same Scriptures of truth, Israel's richest heritage, that Jeremiah appealed in his efforts toward reform. Wherever he ministered he met the people with the earnest plea, “Hear ye the words of this covenant,” words which would bring them a full understanding of God's purpose to extend to all nations a knowledge of saving truth. Jeremiah 11:2 . PK 465.2"
Ellen White directly references Jeremiah 11:2 in this passage.
Jeremiah 11:5
"That I may perform the oath which I have sworn unto your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is this day. Then answered I, and said, So be it, O Lord."
I saw that if there is anyone on earth who can consistently testify under oath, it is the Christian. He lives in the light of God's countenance. He grows strong in His strength. And when matters of importance must be decided by law, there is no one who can so well appeal to God as the Christian. I was bidden by the angel to notice that God swears by Himself. Genesis 22:16 ; Hebrews 6:13, 17 . He swore to Abraham ( Genesis 26:3 ), to Isaac ( Psalm 105:9 ; Jeremiah 11:5 ), and to David ( Psalm 132:11 ; Acts 2:30 ). God required of the children of Israel an oath between man and man. Exodus 22:10, 11 . Jesus submitted to the oath in the hour of His trial. The high priest said unto Him: “I adjure Thee by the living God, that Thou tell us whether Thou be the Christ, the Son of God.” Jesus said unto him: “Thou hast said.” If Jesus in His teachings to His disciples referred to the judicial oath, He would have reproved the high priest, and there enforced His teachings, for the good of His follo…
Ellen White directly references Jeremiah 11:5 in this passage.
Jeremiah 11:6
"Then the Lord said unto me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear ye the words of this covenant, and do them."
"Thus it was that “in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem” the message of Jeremiah to Judah was, “Hear ye the words of this covenant,”—the plain precepts of Jehovah as recorded in the Sacred Scriptures, —“and do them.” Jeremiah 11:6 . And this is the message he proclaimed as he stood in the temple courts in the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim. PK 414.1"
The EGW passage directly quotes Jeremiah 11:6 and accurately represents its context. This is a clear and direct allusion.
