"Even after having entered the building a fear came over me and a sense of shame that I must humiliate myself before these people. But I seemed compelled to move forward, and was slowly making my way around the pillar in order to face the Lamb, when a trumpet sounded, the temple shook, shouts of triumph arose from the assembled saints, an awful brightness illuminated the building, then all was intense darkness. The happy people had all disappeared with the brightness, and I was left alone in the silent horror of night. EW 79.2"
"I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,"
Both passages involve a trumpet sound and a spiritual experience. While the contexts differ, the presence of the trumpet as a significant element in a vision connects the two passages. The trumpet in Revelation 1:10 signals a divine communication, and the trumpet in EGW's vision marks a transformative event.
"I awoke in agony of mind and could hardly convince myself that I had been dreaming. It seemed to me that my doom was fixed, that the Spirit of the Lord had left me, never to return. My despondency deepened, if that were possible. EW 79.3"
"Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me."
The EGW passage directly echoes the sentiment of fearing the loss of God's Spirit, as expressed in Psalm 51:11. The emotional distress and fear of abandonment are strong parallels.
"sufferings. He would not turn away from me, He would have mercy upon me, and I should love and serve Him always. Just then the door opened, and a person of beautiful form and countenance entered. He looked upon me pityingly and said: “Do you wish to see Jesus? He is here and you can see Him if you desire to do so. Take everything you possess and follow me.” EW 79.4"
"Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me."
The EGW passage shares the theme of being asked to give up possessions and follow a guide (in this case, to Jesus), which is a central element of Matthew 19:21. The call to sacrifice and discipleship is present in both.
