"Preachers and people have looked upon the book of Revelation as mysterious and of less importance than other portions of the Sacred Scriptures. But I saw that this book is indeed a revelation given for the especial benefit of those who should live in the last days, to guide them in ascertaining their true position and their duty. God directed the mind of William Miller to the prophecies and gave him great light upon the book of Revelation. EW 231.1"
"Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand."
Both passages emphasize the importance of the Book of Revelation. The EGW passage states it's for those in the last days, while the Bible verse pronounces a blessing on those who read and keep its words. The principle of Revelation's importance is directly shared.
"We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:"
Both passages highlight the importance of prophecy as a source of guidance and light. The EGW passage speaks of Revelation guiding people, while the Bible verse describes prophecy as a light shining in a dark place. The connection lies in the function of prophecy as illumination.
"If Daniel's visions had been understood, the people could better have understood the visions of John. But at the right time, God moved upon His chosen servant, who, with clearness and in the power of the Holy Spirit, opened the prophecies and showed the harmony of the visions of Daniel and John and other portions of the Bible, and pressed home upon the hearts of the people the sacred, fearful warnings of the Word to prepare for the coming of the Son of man. Deep and solemn conviction rested upon the minds of those who heard him, and ministers and people, sinners and infidels, turned to the Lord and sought a preparation to stand in the judgment. EW 231.2"
"Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?"
The EGW passage describes a deep conviction and turning to the Lord, similar to the reaction of the crowd in Acts 2:37 after Peter's sermon. The shared theme of conviction and seeking guidance makes this a valid thematic parallel.
"But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased."
The EGW passage speaks of understanding prophecies, particularly Daniel's, and the increase of knowledge related to them. Daniel 12:4 directly mentions the sealing of the book until the time of the end when knowledge will increase. While not a direct quote, the thematic connection is present.
