"There is a great work to be done in England. The light radiating from London should beam forth in clear, distinct rays to regions beyond. God has wrought in England, but this English-speaking world has been terribly neglected. England has needed many more laborers and much more means. London has been scarcely touched. My heart is deeply moved as the situation in that great city is presented before me. It pains me to think that greater facilities are not provided for the work throughout Europe. I have sore heartache as I think of the work in Switzerland, Germany, Norway, and Sweden. Where there are one or two men struggling to carry forward the different branches of the cause, there should be hundreds at work. In the city of London alone no fewer than one hundred men should be engaged. The Lord marks the neglect of His work, and there will be a heavy account to settle by and by. 6T 25.2"
"Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;"
EGW's lament about the lack of laborers in England and Europe directly mirrors Jesus' statement in Matthew 9:37 about the plenteous harvest and the few laborers. The core message of both passages is the urgent need for more workers to spread the message.
"And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth."
EGW's statement about the 'light radiating from London' and reaching 'regions beyond' aligns with Isaiah 49:6, which speaks of being a 'light to the Gentiles' and bringing salvation to the ends of the earth. Both passages emphasize the idea of spreading a message or influence to a wider audience.
