Ellen White & Bible Cross-Reference
Psalms 125:1
"They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever."
"“They that trust in the Lord shall be as Mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth forever. As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about His people from henceforth even forever.” “He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in His sight.” Psalm 125:1-3 ; 72:14 . AA 86.1"
The EGW passage directly quotes Psalm 125:1.
"“They that trust in the Lord Are as Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abideth forever. As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, So the Lord is round about His people, From this time forth and forevermore.” Psalm 125:1, 2 , R.V. PP 538.7"
EGW directly quotes Psalm 125:1.
"“I regarded her as one of the strongest characters I ever met. I can compare her life only to the sturdy oak that meets the wind and bears its severest pressure, or to the mountain that laughs at the storm.... Her faith in God was invincible. Under trials that might have swept away the faith of many, she maintained firm confidence, and triumphed.” LS 452.1"
The description of Ellen White's unwavering faith under pressure echoes the steadfastness of Mount Zion, symbolizing those who trust in the Lord.
Psalms 125:1-2
"They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever. As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth even for ever."
God had provided for His people a sanctuary of awful grandeur, befitting the mighty truths committed to their trust. To those faithful exiles the mountains were an emblem of the immutable righteousness of Jehovah. They pointed their children to the heights towering above them in unchanging majesty, and spoke to them of Him with whom there is no variableness nor shadow of turning, whose word is as enduring as the everlasting hills. God had set fast the mountains and girded them with strength; no arm but that of Infinite Power could move them out of their place. In like manner He had established His law, the foundation of His government in heaven and upon earth. The arm of man might reach his fellow men and destroy their lives; but that arm could as readily uproot the mountains from their foundations, and hurl them into the sea, as it could change one precept of the law of Jehovah, or blot out one of His promises to those who do His will. In their fidelity to His law, God's servants shou…
Both passages use the imagery of mountains to represent stability, security, and God's enduring presence. The Psalm speaks of Mount Zion and the mountains around Jerusalem as symbols of God's protection, while the EGW passage uses the mountains as emblems of God's immutable righteousness.
Psalms 125:1-3
"They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever. As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth even for ever. For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity."
"“They that trust in the Lord shall be as Mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth forever. As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about His people from henceforth even forever.” “He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in His sight.” Psalm 125:1-3 ; 72:14 . AA 86.1"
Ellen White directly references Psalms 125:1-3 in this passage.
Psalms 125:2
"As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth even for ever."
"“They that trust in the Lord Are as Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abideth forever. As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, So the Lord is round about His people, From this time forth and forevermore.” Psalm 125:1, 2 , R.V. PP 538.7"
