"If the workers in America will impart to others of their great mercies, they will see prosperity in England. They will sympathize with the workers who are struggling with difficulties there, and will have the heart to say, not only in word but in action: “All ye are brethren.” Matthew 23:8 . They will see a great work done in London, all through the cities of England, and throughout the different European countries. 6T 26.1"
"But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren."
Ellen White directly references Matthew 23:8 in this passage.
"But by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want: that there may be equality:"
EGW directly quotes Matthew 23:8 ('All ye are brethren') and then advocates for American workers to share their resources with those in England. This aligns with the principle of equality and mutual support found in 2 Corinthians 8:14, where abundance in one area should supply the need in another.
"God calls upon us to push the triumphs of the cross in Australia. New fields are opening. For want of workers and money the work has been hindered, but it must be hindered no longer. Of all countries, Australia most resembles America. All classes of people are there. And the warning message has not been presented and rejected. There are thousands of honest souls praying for light. God's watchmen are to stand on the walls of Zion and to give the warning: “The morning cometh, and also the night”—the night wherein no man can work. While the angels are holding the four winds, the message is to enter every field in Australia as fast as possible. 6T 26.2"
"I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the Lord, keep not silence,"
EGW directly quotes Isaiah 62:6, applying it to the watchmen in Australia. This is more than a thematic parallel; it's a direct allusion.
"I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work."
EGW directly quotes the phrase 'the night cometh, when no man can work' from John 9:4, applying it to the urgency of spreading the message in Australia. This is a clear and intentional reference.
