"“As we approached the spring, the young man said nothing, but looked toward me and smiled with an expression of satisfaction, and waved one hand toward the spring, as much as to say: ‘don't you think that is an all-healing spring?’ Quite a large company of persons, with Brother and Sister White at their head, came up to the spring on the opposite side from us. They all looked pleasant and cheerful, yet a holy solemnity seemed to be on their countenances. 1T 603.1"
"And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb."
The spring in the EGW passage, described as potentially 'all-healing,' could be interpreted as a symbolic representation of the 'pure river of water of life' in Revelation 22:1. However, the connection is not explicit, and the EGW passage lacks the clear theological significance of the biblical verse. Therefore, it's a possible, but not definitive, connection.
“Brother White seemed greatly improved in health, and was cheerful and happy, but looked tired as though he had been walking some distance. Sister White had a large cup in her hand, which she dipped into the spring, drinking of the water, and then passing it to the others. I thought that brother white was addressing the company and saying to them: ‘now you will have a chance to see the effects of this water.’ He then drank, and it instantly revived him, as it did all others who drank of it, causing a look of vigor and strength in their countenances.

His voice, as well as that of Sister White, seemed melodious. I felt a spirit of rejoi…
"But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life."
Both passages refer to water that quenches thirst and brings life. The EGW passage describes water that revives and gives strength, echoing the idea of 'everlasting life' from John 4:14.
"And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely."
Both passages speak of coming to a source of water and being revived. The EGW passage uses the phrase 'the fountain' which is a common metaphor for the water of life in Revelation.
