"At the same hour the watchers beside the dying child in the home at Capernaum beheld a sudden and mysterious change. The shadow of death was lifted from the sufferer's face. The flush of fever gave place to the soft glow of returning health. The dim eyes brightened with intelligence, and strength returned to the feeble, emaciated frame. No signs of his malady lingered about the child. His burning flesh had become soft and moist, and he sank into a quiet sleep. The fever had left him in the very heat of the day. The family were amazed, and great was the rejoicing. DA 199.1"
"So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house."
The EGW passage is a detailed retelling of the events described in John 4:53, elaborating on the healing of the nobleman's son. The reference to the 'same hour' is a direct connection.
"his interview with Jesus; but he did not hasten on the homeward journey. It was not until the next morning that he reached Capernaum. What a homecoming was that! When he went to find Jesus, his heart was heavy with sorrow. The sunshine seemed cruel to him, the songs of the birds a mockery. How different his feelings now! All nature wears a new aspect. He sees with new eyes. As he journeys in the quiet of the early morning, all nature seems to be praising God with him. While he is still some distance from his own dwelling, servants come out to meet him, anxious to relieve the suspense they are sure he must feel. He shows no surprise at the news they bring, but with a depth of interest they cannot know he asks at what hour the child began to mend. They answer, “Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.” At the very moment when the father's faith grasped the assurance, “Thy son liveth,” divine love touched the dying child. DA 199.2"
"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."
The EGW passage describes the nobleman's changed perspective and how 'all nature wears a new aspect' after his son's healing. This aligns with the concept of being a 'new creature' in Christ, as described in 2 Corinthians 5:17, where old things pass away and all things become new.
"For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning."
The EGW passage describes a shift from sorrow to joy, mirroring the sentiment in Psalms 30:5. The initial despair and subsequent rejoicing after the healing align with the verse's message about weeping turning into joy in the morning.
