"“Out of the cities” is my message. Our physicians ought to have been wide awake on this point long ago. I hope and pray and believe that they will now arouse to the importance of getting out into the country. 7T 83.1"
"And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues."
Both passages speak of separating from a corrupting influence. Revelation 18:4 calls people out of Babylon to avoid its sins and plagues, while EGW urges people to move 'out of the cities.' The connection is strong and intentional.
"The time is near when the large cities will be visited by the judgments of God. In a little while these cities will be terribly shaken. No matter how large or how strong their buildings, no matter how many safeguards against fire may have been provided, let God touch these buildings, and in a few minutes or a few hours they are in ruins. 7T 83.2"
"Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her."
Both passages describe the sudden and devastating destruction of cities by divine judgment. Revelation 18:8 speaks of plagues, fire, and the swiftness of the destruction, mirroring EGW's description of cities being shaken and ruined quickly by God's touch.
"The ungodly cities of our world are to be swept away by the besom of destruction. In the calamities that are now befalling immense buildings and large portions of cities God is showing us what will come upon the whole earth. He has told us: “Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: so likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it [the coming of the Son of man] is near, even at the doors.” Matthew 24:32, 33 . 7T 83.3"
"And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees’ excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah."
Both passages refer to the destruction of cities as a sign of impending judgment. EGW mentions 'ungodly cities' being swept away and cites the fig tree parable from Matthew, while Isaiah 13:19 describes the overthrow of Babylon as a parallel to Sodom and Gomorrah. The connection is thematic, focusing on divine judgment and signs of the end times.
