"But the very plan of continuing this ceremony through so long a time prior to the final overthrow of the walls afforded opportunity for the increase of faith among the Israelites. 4T 163.1"
"So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief."
Both passages deal with the concept of faith (or lack thereof) influencing outcomes. The EGW passage speaks of the Israelites increasing their faith, while Hebrews 3:19 speaks of the Israelites being unable to enter due to unbelief.
"They were to become thoroughly impressed with the idea that their strength was not in the wisdom of man, nor in his might, but only in the God of their salvation. They were thus to become accustomed to putting themselves out of the question and relying wholly upon their divine Leader. 4T 163.2"
"Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the Lord our God."
Both passages contrast reliance on human strength/wisdom with reliance on God. The EGW passage emphasizes relying wholly on God, while Psalm 20:7 contrasts trusting in chariots and horses with remembering the name of the Lord.
"Would those who today profess to be God's people conduct themselves thus under similar circumstances? Doubtless many would wish to follow out their own plans and would suggest other ways and means of accomplishing the desired end. They would be loath to submit to so simple an arrangement and one that reflected upon themselves no glory save the merit of obedience. They would also question the possibility of a mighty city being conquered in that manner. But the law of duty is supreme. It should hold sway over human reason. Faith is the living power that presses through every barrier, overrides all obstacles, and plants its banner in the heart of the enemy's camp. 4T 163.3"
"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding."
Both passages emphasize the importance of trusting in God rather than one's own understanding or plans. The EGW passage highlights the need to submit to God's plan even when it seems illogical, while Proverbs 3:5 directly advises against leaning on one's own understanding.
"God will do marvelous things for those who trust in Him. It is because His professed people trust so much to their own wisdom, and do not give the Lord an opportunity to reveal His power in their behalf, that they have no more strength. He will help His believing children in every emergency if they will place their entire confidence in Him and implicitly obey Him. 4T 163.4"
"O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee."
Both passages emphasize the importance of trusting in God. EGW expands on the blessings and benefits of trusting in God, aligning with the sentiment expressed in Psalms 84:12.
"There are deep mysteries in the word of God; there are unexplainable mysteries in His providences; there are mysteries in the plan of salvation that man cannot fathom. But the finite mind, strong in its desire to satisfy its curiosity and solve the problems of infinity, neglects to follow the plain course indicated by the revealed will of God and pries into the secrets hidden since the foundation of the world. Man builds his theories, loses the simplicity of true faith, becomes too self-important to believe the declarations of the Lord, and hedges himself in with his own conceits. 4T 163.5"
"O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!"
Both passages discuss the limits of human understanding regarding God's wisdom and ways. EGW elaborates on the dangers of human pride and the importance of accepting God's revealed will, echoing the sentiment of Romans 11:33 about the unsearchable nature of God's judgments.
