"Christ uttered against it a withering curse. “No man eat fruit of thee hereafter forever,” He said. The next morning, as the Saviour and His disciples were again on their way to the city, the blasted branches and drooping leaves attracted their attention. “Master,” said Peter, “behold, the fig tree which Thou cursedst is withered away.” DA 582.1"
"And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it."
The EGW passage directly quotes the curse Jesus placed on the fig tree, making it a clear and explicit allusion to Mark 11:14.
"Christ's act in cursing the fig tree had astonished the disciples. It seemed to them unlike His ways and works. Often they had heard Him declare that He came not to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. They remembered His words, “The Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them.” Luke 9:56 . His wonderful works had been done to restore, never to destroy. The disciples had known Him only as the Restorer, the Healer. This act stood alone. What was its purpose? they questioned. DA 582.2 God “delighteth in mercy.” “As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked.” Micah 7:18 ; Ezekiel 33:11 . To Him the work of destruction and the denunciation of judgment is a “strange work.” Isaiah 28:21 . But it is in mercy and love that He lifts the veil from the future, and reveals to men the results of a course of sin. DA 582.3"
"Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy."
Ellen White directly references Micah 7:18 in this passage.
"For the Lord shall rise up as in mount Perazim, he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act."
Ellen White directly references Isaiah 28:21 in this passage.
"For the Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them. And they went to another village."
The EGW passage directly quotes Luke 9:56, making it an explicit allusion.
"Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?"
The EGW passage directly quotes Ezekiel 33:11, making it an explicit allusion.
