"I saw four angels who had a work to do on the earth, and were on their way to accomplish it. Jesus was clothed with priestly garments. He gazed in pity on the remnant, then raised His hands, and with a voice of deep pity cried, “ My blood, Father, My blood, My blood, My blood !” Then I saw an exceeding bright light come from God, who sat upon the great white throne, and was shed all about Jesus. Then I saw an angel with a commission from Jesus, swiftly flying to the four angels who had a work to do on the earth, and waving something up and down in his hand, and crying with a loud voice, “ Hold! Hold! Hold! Hold ! until the servants of God are sealed in their foreheads.” EW 38.1"

"Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us."
The EGW passage describes Jesus pleading with His blood, which directly echoes the concept of Jesus's blood providing redemption as described in Hebrews 9:12. The emphasis on the blood's efficacy connects the two passages strongly.
"I asked my accompanying angel the meaning of what I heard, and what the four angels were about to do. He said to me that it was God that restrained the powers, and that He gave His angels charge over things on the earth; that the four angels had power from God to hold the four winds, and that they were about to let them go; but while their hands were loosening, and the four winds were about to blow, the merciful eye of Jesus gazed on the remnant that were not sealed, and He raised His hands to the Father and pleaded with Him that He had spilled His blood for them. Then another angel was commissioned to fly swiftly to the four angels and bid them hold, until the servants of God were sealed with the seal of the living God in their foreheads. EW 38.2"
Direct citation 90% Revelation 7:1
"And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree."
The EGW passage directly describes the four angels holding the four winds, preventing them from blowing on the earth, which is a clear reference to Revelation 7:1. The narrative expands on the biblical verse, but the core imagery and concept are directly derived from it.
