"The earth mightily shook as the voice of the Son of God called forth the sleeping saints. They responded to the call and came forth clothed with glorious immortality, crying, “Victory, victory, over death and the grave! O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?” Then the living saints and the risen ones raised their voices in a long, transporting shout of victory. Those bodies that had gone down into the grave bearing the marks of disease and death came up in immortal health and vigor. The living saints are changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, and caught up with the risen ones, and together they meet their Lord in the air. Oh, what a glorious meeting! Friends whom death had separated were united, never more to part. EW 287.1"

Direct citation 95% 1 Corinthians 15:55
"O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?"
The EGW passage directly quotes 1 Corinthians 15:55, 'O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?' making it a clear and direct allusion.
"upward, the wheels cried, “Holy,” and the wings, as they moved, cried, “Holy,” and the retinue of holy angels around the cloud cried, “Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty!” And the saints in the cloud cried, “Glory! Alleluia!” And the chariot rolled upward to the Holy City. Before entering the city, the saints were arranged in a perfect square, with Jesus in the midst. He stood head and shoulders above the saints and above the angels. His majestic form and lovely countenance could be seen by all in the square. EW 287.2"
Related principle 95% Isaiah 6:3
"And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory."
Both passages describe a scene with holy beings proclaiming 'Holy, holy, holy.' While the context differs (EGW describes a chariot ascending, Isaiah describes a vision of God's throne), the repeated phrase and its association with holiness create a strong thematic parallel.
