"The mission in Europe was making good progress, other workers being sent to join Elder Andrews in 1876. The comprehensive vision of January 3, 1875, given at Battle Creek, which formed the basis of much of the first half of volume 4, led to a better understanding of the world-wide nature of our work. 4T 5.2"
"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:"
The EGW passage describes the expansion of the Seventh-day Adventist work globally, which directly reflects the Great Commission in Matthew 28:19 to teach all nations. The vision led to a better understanding of the world-wide nature of the work, which is a direct application of the biblical command.
"On the Pacific Coast the work of the denomination was developing rapidly. The newly started Signs of the Times was put on a firm basis, and in 1875 the Pacific Press, our second Seventh-day Adventist publishing house, was opened in Oakland. This soon became the largest and best equipped publishing establishment operated on the Pacific Coast. In 1878, near St. Helena in Northern California, the second denominational sanitarium opened its doors for service. 4T 5.3"
"But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth."
The EGW passage describes the growth and expansion of the Seventh-day Adventist work on the Pacific Coast, including publishing and healthcare. This parallels the spread of the Gospel in Acts 1:8, which speaks of being witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and to the uttermost parts of the earth. The establishment of institutions like the Pacific Press and the sanitarium can be seen as fulfilling the mission of spreading the message and caring for people's needs.
"With increased publishing facilities, we found ourselves with a rapidly developing literature, which by the close of the period of volume 4 included Thoughts on Daniel and the Revelation , by Uriah Smith, History of the Sabbath , By J. N. Andrews, and a number of works of lesser importance dealing with health, religious topics, temperance, and themes of interest to children. Plans for more systematic literature distribution were inaugurated with regularly employed colporteurs calling from door to door in selling our truth-filled books. A great movement in free literature distribution by our laymen was also well under way, with elder S. N. Haskell leading out in the organization of tract and missionary societies. 4T 5.4"
"And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come."
The EGW passage describes the increased publishing and distribution of literature, including books and tracts, by Seventh-day Adventists. This parallels Matthew 24:14, which speaks of the gospel being preached in all the world as a witness to all nations before the end comes. The distribution of literature is a means of fulfilling this prophecy.
