"Soon we heard the voice of God like many waters, which gave us the day and hour of Jesus’ coming. The living saints, 144,000 in number, knew and understood the voice, while the wicked thought it was thunder and an earthquake. When God spake the time, He poured upon us the Holy Spirit, and our faces began to light up and shine with the glory of God, as Moses’ did when he came down from Mount Sinai. 1T 59.1"
"And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:"
The EGW passage uses the phrase 'voice of God like many waters,' which is a direct allusion to Revelation 14:2. The context of the voice also aligns.
"And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in Moses’ hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone while he talked with him."
The EGW passage explicitly draws a parallel between the shining faces of the 144,000 and Moses' shining face after being in God's presence on Mount Sinai. This is more than just a thematic parallel; it's a direct comparison.
"And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel."
The EGW passage mentions the 144,000, directly referencing the number mentioned in Revelation 7:4. While the context and interpretation may differ, the explicit mention of the number constitutes a clear thematic parallel.
"The 144,000 were all sealed and perfectly united. On their foreheads were the words God, New Jerusalem, and a glorious star containing Jesus’ new name. At our happy, holy state the wicked were enraged, and would rush violently up to lay hands on us to thrust us into prison, when we would stretch forth the hand in the name of the Lord, and they would fall helpless to the ground. Then it was that the synagogue of Satan knew that God had loved us, who could wash one another's feet, and salute the brethren with a holy kiss, and they worshiped at our feet. 1T 59.2"
"And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel."
The EGW passage directly references the 144,000 being sealed, a key element from Revelation 7:4. While the EGW passage adds details not found in Revelation 7:4, the core concept is clearly derived from it.
"Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name."
The EGW passage describes the 144,000 as having 'God, New Jerusalem, and a glorious star containing Jesus’ new name' on their foreheads. This directly alludes to Revelation 3:12, which speaks of writing 'the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem... and I will write upon him my new name.'
"Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee."
The EGW passage mentions 'the synagogue of Satan' worshiping at the feet of the 144,000, which is a clear parallel to Revelation 3:9, where those of the 'synagogue of Satan' are made to 'come and worship before thy feet.'
"If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another’s feet."
The EGW passage mentions the 144,000 'who could wash one another's feet,' which is a direct reference to the practice of foot washing commanded by Jesus in John 13:14. While the context may be different, the explicit mention of foot washing establishes a thematic parallel.
