"The great original lie which he told to Eve in Eden, “Ye shall not surely die,” was the first sermon ever preached on the immortality of the soul. That sermon was crowned with success, and terrible results followed. He has brought minds to receive that sermon as truth, and ministers preach it, sing it, and pray it. 1T 342.3"
"And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:"
The EGW passage directly quotes Genesis 3:4.
"No literal devil, and probation after the coming of Christ, are fast becoming popular fables. The Scriptures plainly declare that every person's destiny is forever fixed at the coming of the Lord. Revelation 22:11, 12 : “He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. And, behold, I come quickly; and My reward is with Me, to give every man according as his work shall be.” 1T 342.4"
"And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be."
EGW directly quotes Revelation 22:12 to support her statement about destiny being fixed at Christ's coming. This is a clear and direct allusion.
