"He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy."
The idea that warnings cease after repeated rejection aligns with the proverb that those who are often rebuked and harden their neck will suddenly be destroyed.
"That day had come to Jerusalem. Jesus wept in anguish over the doomed city, but He could not deliver her. He had exhausted every resource. In rejecting the warnings of God's Spirit, Israel had rejected the only means of help. There was no other power by which they could be delivered. DA 587.2"
"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!"
This verse describes Jesus' lament over Jerusalem and his desire to gather them, reflecting the anguish and inability to deliver the city mentioned in the target passage.
"Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye."
Both passages deal with resisting the Holy Spirit and the consequences thereof. The EGW passage specifically mentions rejecting the warnings of God's Spirit, while Acts 7:51 directly accuses the listeners of resisting the Holy Ghost. The context of the EGW quote is the rejection of Christ, which is a manifestation of resisting the Holy Spirit.
"The Jewish nation was a symbol of the people of all ages who scorn the pleadings of Infinite Love. The tears of Christ when He wept over Jerusalem were for the sins of all time. In the judgments pronounced upon Israel, those who reject the reproofs and warnings of God's Holy Spirit, may read their own condemnation. DA 587.3 In this generation there are many who are treading on the same ground as were the unbelieving Jews. They have witnessed the manifestation of the power of God; the Holy Spirit has spoken to their hearts; but they cling to their unbelief and resistance. God sends them warnings and reproof, but they are not willing to confess their errors, and they reject His message and His messenger. The very means He uses for their recovery becomes to them a stone of stumbling. DA 587.4"
"For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame."
Both passages discuss the danger of rejecting God's grace after having experienced it. Hebrews 6:4-6 describes those who have tasted of the heavenly gift and then fall away, while the EGW passage speaks of those who have witnessed the power of God and still cling to unbelief. Both highlight the serious consequences of rejecting known truth.
"Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;"
Both passages describe a scenario where God offers guidance and warnings, but people reject them and face negative consequences. Proverbs 1:24-26 is a direct warning, while the EGW passage applies this principle to those who reject the reproofs and warnings of God's Holy Spirit.
The prophets of God were hated by apostate Israel because through them their hidden sins were brought to light. Ahab regarded Elijah as his enemy because the prophet was faithful to rebuke the king's secret iniquities. So today the servant of Christ, the reprover of sin, meets with scorn and rebuffs. Bible truth, the religion of Christ, struggles against a strong current of moral impurity. Prejudice is even stronger in the hearts of men now than in Christ's day. Christ did not fulfill men's expectations; His life was a rebuke to their sins, and they rejected Him. So now the truth of God's word does not harmonize with men's practices and their natural inclination, and thousands reject its light. Men prompted by Satan cast doubt upon God's word, and choose to exercise their independent judgment. They choose darkness rather than light, but they do it at the peril of their souls. Those who caviled at the words of Christ, found ever-increased cause for cavil, until they turned from the Trut…
"And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel?"
The EGW passage directly references Ahab's perception of Elijah as an enemy and a troubler of Israel, which is the core of 1 Kings 18:17. The context and sentiment are clearly linked.
"The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil."
Both passages deal with the theme of the world hating those who testify against its evil deeds. EGW connects the hatred of the prophets to the rejection of Christ, mirroring the sentiment in John 7:7.
