"Our time is precious. We have but few, very few days of probation in which to make ready for the future, immortal life. We have no time to spend in haphazard movements. We should fear to skim the surface of the word of God. 6T 407.2"
"Redeeming the time, because the days are evil."
Both passages emphasize the importance of making the most of the limited time available, with a sense of urgency. EGW's statement about 'precious time' and 'few days of probation' directly echoes the sentiment of 'redeeming the time' in Ephesians.
"***** It is as true now as when Christ was upon the earth, that every inroad made by the gospel upon the enemy's dominion is met by fierce opposition from his vast armies. The conflict that is right upon us will be the most terrible ever witnessed. But though Satan is represented as being as strong as the strong man armed, his overthrow will be complete, and everyone who unites with him in choosing apostasy rather than loyalty will perish with him. 6T 407.3"
"When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace: But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils."
EGW's description of the conflict with Satan and his eventual overthrow directly parallels the imagery of the 'strong man armed' being overcome by a 'stronger than he' in Luke. The connection is clear and meaningful.
