Ellen White & Bible Cross-Reference
Judges 21:25
"In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes."
"Your position has led many in and about —— to think less highly of the Review than they otherwise would have done, and they have held very lightly the truths found in it. Thus the Review failed to have the influence upon them that God designed it should have. And everyone has followed his own course, and done that which seemed right in his own eyes; hence all are far upon the background, and unless there is a thorough work accomplished for them, they will be weighed in the balance and found wanting. 1T 316.2"
Both passages highlight a state of moral relativism where individuals act according to their own judgment, leading to negative consequences. The EGW passage directly uses the phrase 'everyone has followed his own course, and done that which seemed right in his own eyes,' which is a clear echo of Judges 21:25.
