"“For the Lord's portion is His people; Jacob is the lot of His inheritance. He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; He led him about, He instructed him, He kept him as the apple of His eye.” Deuteronomy 32:9, 10 . “For thus saith the Lord of hosts: After the glory hath He sent me unto the nations which spoiled you; for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of His eye.” Zechariah 2:8 . COL 166.1"
"For thus saith the Lord of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye."
Ellen White directly references Zechariah 2:8 in this passage.
"The widow's prayer, “Avenge me”—“do me justice” (R.V.)—“of mine adversary,” represents the prayer of God's children. Satan is their great adversary. He is the “accuser of our brethren,” who accuses them before God day and night. ( Revelation 12:10 .) He is continually working to misrepresent and accuse, to deceive and destroy the people of God. And it is for deliverance from the power of Satan and his agents that in this parable Christ teaches His disciples to pray. COL 166.2"
"And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night."
EGW directly quotes Revelation 12:10.
"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:"
Both passages refer to the devil as an adversary. While EGW explicitly mentions Revelation 12:10, the concept of Satan as an adversary is also present in 1 Peter 5:8, making it a thematic parallel.
"In the prophecy of Zechariah is brought to view Satan's accusing work, and the work of Christ in resisting the adversary of His people. The prophet says, “He showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him. And the Lord said unto Satan, The Lord rebuke thee, O Satan; even the Lord that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire? Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel.” Zechariah 3:1-3 . COL 166.3"
"And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him."
EGW directly quotes Zechariah 3:1, making this a clear and explicit allusion.
"And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him. And the Lord said unto Satan, The Lord rebuke thee, O Satan; even the Lord that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire? Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel."
Ellen White directly references Zechariah 3:1-3 in this passage.
