"The priests and rulers had set themselves up as judges to condemn Christ's work, but He declared Himself their judge, and the judge of all the earth. The world has been committed to Christ, and through Him has come every blessing from God to the fallen race. He was the Redeemer before as after His incarnation. As soon as there was sin, there was a Saviour. He has given light and life to all, and according to the measure of light given, each is to be judged. And He who has given the light, He who has followed the soul with tenderest entreaty, seeking to win it from sin to holiness, is in one its advocate and judge. From the opening of the great controversy in heaven, Satan has maintained his cause through deception; and Christ has been working to unveil his schemes and to break his power. It is He who has encountered the deceiver, and who through all the ages has been seeking to wrest the captives from his grasp, who will pass judgment upon every soul. DA 210.2"
Direct citation 95% John 5:22
"For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:"
EGW directly alludes to the concept of Christ being the judge, which is explicitly stated in John 5:22.
Related principle 85% Revelation 13:8
"And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world."
Both passages discuss Christ's role as Redeemer from the beginning of the world. Revelation 13:8 speaks of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world, and EGW states, "As soon as there was sin, there was a Saviour." This is a thematic parallel.
Related principle 85% John 1:9
"That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world."
Both passages discuss Christ as the light of the world, though the EGW passage expands on the implications of this light for judgment and salvation. The connection is thematic rather than a direct allusion.
"And God “hath given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of man.” Because He has tasted the very dregs of human affliction and temptation, and understands the frailties and sins of men; because in our behalf He has victoriously withstood the temptations of Satan, and will deal justly and tenderly with the souls that His own blood has been poured out to save,—because of this, the Son of man is appointed to execute the judgment. DA 210.3"
Direct citation 95% John 5:27
"And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man."
EGW directly quotes John 5:27 and then expands on the reasons why Jesus, as the Son of Man, is qualified to execute judgment.
Likely biblical basis 95% Hebrews 2:18
"For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted."
The EGW passage directly expands on the principle found in Hebrews 2:18, explaining how Christ's suffering and temptation enable Him to understand and succor those who are tempted. It's more than a thematic parallel; it's a direct application and amplification of the verse's core idea.
"But Christ's mission was not for judgment, but for salvation. “God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.” John 3:17 . And before the Sanhedrin Jesus declared, “He that heareth My word, and believeth Him that sent Me, hath eternal life, and cometh not into judgment, but hath passed out of death into life.” John 5:24 , R. V. DA 210.4"
