"Every case had been decided for life or death. While Jesus had been ministering in the sanctuary, the judgment had been going on for the righteous dead, and then for the righteous living. Christ had received His kingdom, having made the atonement for His people and blotted out their sins. The subjects of the kingdom were made up. The marriage of the Lamb was consummated. And the kingdom, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, was given to Jesus and the heirs of salvation, and Jesus was to reign as King of kings and Lord of lords. EW 280.1"
"And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed."
EGW directly alludes to Daniel 7:14, interpreting it within her eschatological framework. The language of 'dominion,' 'kingdom,' and Jesus receiving it is directly drawn from the verse.
As Jesus moved out of the most holy place, I heard the tinkling of the bells upon His garment; and as He left, a cloud of darkness covered the inhabitants of the earth. There was then no mediator between guilty man and an offended God. While Jesus had been standing between God and guilty man, a restraint was upon the people; but when He stepped out from between man and the Father, the restraint was removed and Satan had entire control of the finally impenitent. It was impossible for the plagues to be poured out while Jesus officiated in the sanctuary; but as His work there is finished, and His intercession closes, there is nothing to stay the wrath of God, and it breaks with fury upon the shelterless head of the guilty sinner, who has slighted salvation and hated reproof. In that fearful time, after the close of Jesus’ mediation, the saints were living in the sight of a holy God without an intercessor. Every case was decided, every jewel numbered. Jesus tarried a moment in the outer ap…
"And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled."
The imagery of the temple being filled with smoke, preventing access, thematically aligns with EGW's description of the end of Christ's mediation and the removal of restraint, leading to the outpouring of plagues. The connection is not a direct quote, but a parallel in the events described.
"Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need."
EGW's statement about the lack of a mediator after Jesus leaves the Most Holy Place directly contrasts with the principle in Hebrews 4:16 of having access to the throne of grace. The absence of a mediator implies the cessation of that access, highlighting the importance of Christ's intercession.
