"Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called."
The EGW passage directly uses the word 'calling' in a way that echoes the sentiment of 1 Corinthians 7:20, which encourages individuals to remain in the state or 'calling' they were in when they were called by God. While brief, the connection is direct and meaningful.
"A great mistake has been made by some who profess present truth, by introducing merchandise in the course of a series of meetings and by their traffic diverting minds from the object of the meetings. If Christ were now upon earth, He would drive out these peddlers and traffickers, whether they be ministers or people, with a scourge of small cords, as when He entered the temple anciently “and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of them that sold doves, and said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.” These traffickers might have pleaded as an excuse that the articles they held for sale were for sacrificial offerings. But their object was to get gain, to obtain means, to accumulate. 1T 471.2"
"And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,"
EGW directly quotes and alludes to Matthew 21:12, referencing Jesus cleansing the temple. The context of both passages involves the inappropriate mixing of commerce and sacred space.
"And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew the tables;"
EGW alludes to John 2:15, referencing Jesus making a scourge of cords and driving people out of the temple. The context of both passages involves the inappropriate mixing of commerce and sacred space.
