"I cried to him to forbear, for there were some precious jewels scattered among the rubbish. EW 83.3"
"And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him."
The phrase "precious jewels" is a direct allusion to Malachi 3:17, and the context of separating them from rubbish strongly suggests a connection to the sifting process described in Malachi.
"Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness."
The phrase "fear not" is a common biblical encouragement, and the promise of God's care directly echoes the sentiment of Isaiah 41:10. While not a direct quote, the principle is clearly present.
"Then, while he brushed the dirt and rubbish, false jewels and counterfeit coin, all rose and went out of the window like a cloud, and the wind carried them away. In the bustle I closed my eyes for a moment; when I opened them, the rubbish was all gone. The precious jewels, the diamonds, the gold and silver coins, lay scattered in profusion all over the room. EW 83.5"
"Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn."
The imagery of separating valuable items from worthless ones, and the ultimate gathering of the good, parallels the parable of the wheat and tares. The specific details differ, but the underlying theme of judgment and separation is present.
"He then placed on the table a casket, much larger and more beautiful than the former, and gathered up the jewels, the diamonds, the coins, by the handful, and cast them into the casket, till not one was left, although some of the diamonds were not bigger than the point of a pin. EW 83.6"
"And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him."
This passage continues the theme of gathering jewels, directly referencing Malachi 3:17. The description of the casket and the gathering of even small jewels reinforces the connection.
"After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter."
The phrase "come and see" is a direct allusion to Revelation 4:1, where John is invited to see what will happen in the future. While the context is different, the phrase itself is a clear echo.
