"Chapter 10—The Science of Salvation the First of Sciences The schools established among us are matters of grave responsibility; for important interests are involved. In a special manner our schools are a spectacle unto angels and to men. A knowledge of science of all kinds is power, and it is in the purpose of God that advanced science shall be taught in our schools as a preparation for the work that is to precede the closing scenes of earth's history. The truth is to go to the remotest bounds of the earth, through agents trained for the work. But while the knowledge of science is a power, the knowledge which Jesus in person come to impart to the world was the knowledge of the gospel. The light of truth was to flash its bright rays into the uttermost parts of the earth, and the acceptance or rejection of the message of God involved the eternal destiny of souls. CE 83"
"For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men."
EGW directly alludes to 1 Corinthians 4:9, using the phrase 'a spectacle unto angels and to men' in the same context of divine observation.
"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen."
EGW's statement about 'the truth is to go to the remotest bounds of the earth, through agents trained for the work' directly reflects the Great Commission in Matthew 28:19-20, where Jesus commands his followers to 'go and teach all nations.'
"Then we shall rightly understand the teaching of God's word, and esteem the truth as the most valuable treasure with which to store the mind. We shall have a constant well-spring of the waters of life. We shall pray as did the psalmist, “Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law,” [ Psalm 119:18 .] and shall find as he did that “the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover by them is they servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.” [ Psalm 119:9-11 .]— The Review and Herald, November 24, 1891 . CE 83.1"
"More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb."
EGW directly quotes Psalm 19:10.
"Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law."
The EGW passage directly quotes Psalm 119:18, making it a clear and explicit allusion.
"Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word. With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments. Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee."
Ellen White directly references Psalms 119:9-11 in this passage.
"But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life."
Both passages use the metaphor of 'water of life' or a 'well-spring' to describe spiritual nourishment and satisfaction. EGW's statement about a 'constant well-spring of the waters of life' echoes the sentiment in John 4:14.
"Christ died. It is his purpose to cause the discoveries of men to be exalted above the wisdom of God. When the mind is engrossed with the conceptions and theories of men to the exclusion of the wisdom of God, it is stamped with idolatry. Science, falsely so-called, has been exalted above God, nature above its Maker, and how can God look upon such wisdom? CE 83.3"
"For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent."
Both passages address the danger of human wisdom or 'science falsely so-called' being elevated above God's wisdom. EGW's statement about 'science, falsely so-called, has been exalted above God' aligns with the sentiment in 1 Corinthians 1:19, where God declares he will 'destroy the wisdom of the wise'.
