"When Jesus rises up in the most holy place, lays off His mediatorial robes, and clothes Himself with the garments of vengeance, the mandate will go forth: “He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: ...and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. And, behold, I come quickly; and My reward is with Me, to give every man according as his work shall be.” Revelation 22:11, 12 . 8T 315.1"
"He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still."
EGW directly quotes Revelation 22:11.
"And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be."
EGW directly quotes Revelation 22:12.
"A storm is coming, relentless in its fury. Are we prepared to meet it? 8T 315.2"
"For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be."
Both passages refer to a time of great tribulation. EGW's 'storm is coming, relentless in its fury' is thematically similar to Matthew 24:21's description of 'great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world'.
"Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken."
Both passages speak of a coming time of trouble and fear. EGW's statement about a 'storm' echoes the sense of impending doom and shaking of the powers described in Luke 21:26.
"We need not say: The perils of the last days are soon to come upon us. Already they have come. We need now the sword of the Lord to cut to the very soul and marrow of fleshly lusts, appetites, and passions. 8T 315.3"
"For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."
EGW's call for the 'sword of the Lord' to cut to the soul and marrow directly parallels the description of the Word of God in Hebrews 4:12 as a sharp, piercing sword that divides soul and spirit. The context of dealing with fleshly desires further strengthens the connection.
"But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer."
Both passages address the imminence of the end times. EGW states that the perils of the last days 'have already come,' while 1 Peter 4:7 declares 'the end of all things is at hand.' The call to sobriety and watchfulness in 1 Peter aligns with EGW's sense of urgency.
"Minds that have been given up to loose thought need to change. “Girding up the loins of your mind, be sober and set your hope perfectly on the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; as children of obedience, not fashioning yourselves according to your former lusts in the time of your ignorance: but like as He who called you is holy, be ye yourselves also holy in all manner of living; because it is written, Ye shall be holy; for I am holy.” 1 Peter 1:13-16 , A. R. V. The thoughts must be centered upon God. Now is the time to put forth earnest effort to overcome the natural tendencies of the carnal heart. 8T 315.4"
"Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;"
EGW directly quotes 1 Peter 1:13, making this an explicit allusion.
"As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:"
EGW directly quotes 1 Peter 1:14, making this an explicit allusion.
"But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;"
EGW directly quotes 1 Peter 1:15.
"Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy."
EGW directly quotes 1 Peter 1:16.
"Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy."
Ellen White directly references 1 Peter 1:13-16 in this passage.
"Our efforts, our self-denial, our perseverance, must be proportionate to the infinite value of the object of which we are in pursuit. Only by overcoming as Christ overcame shall we win the crown of life. 8T 315.5"
"Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life."
Both passages connect overcoming trials with receiving the crown of life, suggesting a thematic parallel.
